This number called and then disconnected. We are listed as not wanting unsolicited calls.

Keep the phone off the hook (unanswered) until they give up.
It will annoy them as much as they are annoying you.

An asian lady called Mary telephoned knowing my name, when asked how she obtained an exdirectory number and where was she calling from , she immediately put the phone down; Fortunately Iam concious of such calls but it seems that someone somewhere has elicited confidential telephone numbers and names.

Cold call received on the home land line asking for Mr Steele. My husband took the call. A lady caller said she was from a Philippines' children's charity and had he heard of them. He replied that he hadn't and he does not give to overseas charities, .

After a couple of hiccups, I have managed to book for fifteen at St Stephen's Tavern for 5PM on Sat 9th December. If you want to come along, don't worry as the booking figure is flexible, but it would obviously be a good idea to let me know!
Oh and thanks to Lisa Rullsenburg for plugging this! ;)

Cars frozen in place from water main breakUPDATED 6:46 PM EST Jan 30, 2014
A Price Hill resident can't use his only car because it is encased in ice. An old water main leak poured water down his street, and the cold weather froze the pool around his car. It wouldn't be such a big deal, but it is Herman's only car and his wife has to receive dialysis three times a week.Video Transcript
GOT OUT OF CONTROL... CARS... ARE STUCK IN THE ICE! WLWT NEWS 5'S BRIAN HAMRICK IS LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD... TO SHOW US WHAT THEY'RE DEALING WITH ... IN PRICE HILL IT'S A PROBLEM THAT STARTED AS A SOLUTION... WATER. (Herman carter/car stuck in ice "just kept backing up and backing up and backing up... freezing.") IT'S LEAKING FROM A MAIN ON MANNS AVENUE... BUT THINGS WENT DOWNHILL FROM HERE... ESPECIALLY FOR HERMAN CARTER... (Herman carter/car stuck in ice "The ice keeps getting thicker and thicker..") HE LIVES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL... AND OWNS ONE OF TWO CARS THAT ARE LOCKED IN THIS PRICE HILL GLACIER. IT'S A GOOD 8 TO 10 INCHES DEEP AND THAT'S JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG... (hamrick "looks like its like it's actually frozen to the bottom of the car ." herman "To the chassis .") THE ICE IS ATTACHED TO THE FRAME --NOT JUST HOLDING THE TIRES. CONTRACTORS WHO ARE PUTTING IN AN ENTIRELY NEW WATER MAIN ON THIS STREET CAME WITH A BOBCAT... BUT THE SEDAN STAYED STUCK LIKE A SHACKELTON SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION. (Bill timler/contract worker "we took the Bobcat knocked most of the ice away for him but he ain't going to get it... underneath his whole car is full of ice.") SO SOME NEIGHBORS HELPED...

Terrible. Absolutely Terrible. Class time is devoted entirely to him reading a typed lecture, and he doesn't pause or stop for questions at any point. I've given up on going to the class, because attendance isn't mandatory and it's completely pointless when all he does is lecture at an unreasonable pace. AVOID THIS CLASS AT ALL COSTS. C+ Sicker
Pretentious. Writes an hour and a half worth of lecture notes and reads them verbatim. Lectures are pointless and the objectives are unclear. Grading style is confusing and unforgiving. There is an absurd 3 hour final which requires knowledge of mundane film details. But hey, maybe you'll be one of his favorites. He also likes saying PROVOCATIVE.
took him for my film class (advanced lit) & was awesome. attendance is not mandatory but youd be stupid not to go because his lectures are so detailed. he basically just talks the entire class, but everythings really interesting. only 3 short essays, and 6 pg essay before the final exam(no midterm). id recommend this class to anyone who loves film!
Phil Sicker is formidably brilliant, enthusiastic, and engaging. Take his classes if you wish to be challenged and stimulated, and if you're serious about developing yourself as a professional academic writer in the field of English (esp. modernist fiction, Henry James, and James Joyce).
Probably the best professor I have had at Fordham BUT he is a tough grader (read: honest grader. Your papers will bleed read ink but you will be hard-pressed to dispute him on a single point). Class is an hour-long lecture with almost no student input, but he's the most dynamic and interesting lecturer I have ever had. Makes you care about english.
I've never had a seminar class where a week would go by without a single verbalization from a student until his. Very intelligent man, but if you like your own ideas to matter, I would avoid him.
I had Phil Sicker for two or three classes (it's been a few years). I still remember so much of what I learned. This man is a wonderful professor. He changed my life.
I always tried to take the easy teachers and I got stuck with him and now i love that class! he explains poetry so well it blows your mind. He is such a good teacher so easy to understand and you only have to write three papers, no midterm. C+ sicker? no. i got B's or above on all papers and i suck at english.
Best professor this year. I'm actually learning something. I hated poetry before his class. If you're up for a bit of a challenge and learning, take Sicker. He's a bit intimidating at first, but after that first talk, he's easy to talk to. Ignore the "C+ Sicker". If you care at all, you should get a good grade.
He was an amazing professor. He was my absolute favorite in the English department at Fordham. He made me love James Joyce.
sicker is the best professor in literary studies or english at fordham. he knows more stuff about anything than anyone i've ever met. you won't get a good grade in his class unless you really kick ass, hence the nickname "C+ Sicker." i got a B+.
Best teacher i've had in english as an english major. Hard, but you learn a lot. Smart, english oriented people will enjoy him, others... eh. great guy out of class. Do not take for a good grade, but if you want to learn, cuz thats why your at college, take him.
Poetry and Poet
Interesting stuff, and he definitely knows his stuff, but its so hard. I don't know if it was worth it. He is known as "C+ Sicker", lives up to his name.
Poetry and Poet
My roomate and I absolutely loved this class. He is enthusiastic and above all out of his mind. Every poem relates to sex and he is absolutely obsessed with the subject matter. The class is awesome, he forces you to become a better writer, and if you want to experience the greatness which is "The Sick", take the damn class. THE BEST TEACHER EVER.
Close read
Sicker is extremely intelligent and a tough grader..but my writing and interest in poetry grew tremendously...i will never forget this class or this man
Dr. Sicker will claw your eyes out with his talons of knowledge. If you want that grade, stay away; if you want a class you'll still remember in ten years, this is the man.
He is the ultimate teacher if you want an brilliant teacher excited about literature. He will force you to become a better writer and reader. I recommend him above all other teachers at fordham.
Be prepared to work, but he is very helpful, gives plenty of feedback on your work, and has a genuine interest in his students and in the material. I thought a lot about taking courses I wasn't interested in, just to be in his class again.
Phil T. Sick is the man. He knows more stuff than any professor I've had. If you aren't willing to give a isht DON'T TAKE HIS CLASS.
Close rdng/crit
Dr. Sicker is a GREAT professor- he is very intelligent, well-spoken, and engaging. He thoroughly criticizes your writing and consequently improves it a great deal. He insists that students visit him during office hours. Just regurgitate his lectures in your essays and you'll do okay.

The challenge
As networks tend to become more complex with higher traffic flows, infrastructure operators must be able to guarantee safety while ensuring maximum traffic density. Everything depends upon reliable and available interlocking. Its basic role is to prevent or authorise trains to continue to cross points according to the global condition of traffic on the network. It therefore ensures a safe journey and avoids all risk of conflict between train paths.
The Alstom solution
With more than 1,500 installations in over 25 countries, the safety and reliability of the new generation of Smartlock electronic interlocking products has more than proven itself. Interfacing with the Automated Train Control (Atlas) system and conventional track equipment (Smartway), Smartlock interlocking guarantees safety for traffic on all types of network.

Westlake's Colby Magorien steps into leadership role on boys volleyball team
It might seem like stating the obvious, but 6-foot-3 Colby Magorien says he's no longer the little guy on his own team.
"I've always been the little kid playing with the big guys," he said with a smile. "Now I'm the big guy playing with the little kids."
He's spot-on accurate — just like one of his nailed-down spikes or on-target passes.
Since he started playing volleyball in the seventh grade, little brother Colby has been the young pup playing with older brother Travis and the big dogs.
Travis became a standout setter for the Westlake High boys volleyball team, helping the Warriors win three consecutive Marmonte League titles, the CIF-Southern Section Division 2 championship in 2009 and finish as the Division 2 runner-up in 2010. He now plays at Cal State Northridge.
Colby, meanwhile, has prepped well for what becomes his spotlight season. He's gone from key reserve to key cog to, well, simply the key to the Warriors' success in 2013.
For the first time, it's Colby's turn to be the main man in the tradition-rich Westlake program.
"It's a little different role for me," he said. "It's something I've looked forward to. I want to have the pressure on me on the important points. I want to be the guy who has to deliver."
So far, so impressive.
Magorien has been the team catalyst as Westlake has bolted to a 9-4 start, including 4-0 in the Marmonte League. The Warriors, ranked No. 12 in the latest CIF-SS Division 1 rankings, are chasing their fifth league championship in a row and seventh in the last eight seasons.
"That's our main goal at this point," he said. "We want to keep the tradition going. I don't know if we're as talented as some of the teams we've had in the past. But we have great chemistry. We play well together."
Magorien's versatility and all-around skills enable him to affect a match in a myriad of ways. In a four-game win over Royal on March 13, he racked up 28 kills and 10 digs.
In a sweep over Agoura on March 18, he notched 14 digs, nine kills and three service aces.
For the season, he leads the Warriors with 158 kills, including a kill percentage of .362. He's averaging 4.8 kills per game.
Magorien admits to being a perfectionist on the volleyball court, which is a tribute to how important the sport has become to the Westlake senior.
He has Attention Deficit Disorder, and the focus he puts on volleyball helps in the classroom, said his father and coach, Doug Magorien.
"Playing sports is very important for him," said Doug. "When I was growing up, I wanted to be perfect on the volleyball court and that carried over for me in the classroom. I wanted to be the best in the classroom, as well.
"It can have that effect for him."
Sports clearly has been a character builder for the talented outside hitter/opposite.
Though his dad is the longtime head coach for the Warriors, Colby still had to earn his spot on the roster and his role in the starting lineup.
"I told him when he was coming up that he had to be better than everybody else to get his spot," said Doug. "His dad is the head coach so he had to clearly show that he belonged or there would be questions."
Colby played on the JV squad as a freshman, then was called up as an emergency replacement for the 2010 playoffs when two starters were suspended.
Magorien immediately showed his value with key contributions in the Warriors' run to the Division 2 championship match.
A trend was set. Since that freshman season, Magorien has demonstrated a knack for big plays at big moments in big matches. Clearly, he belongs.
"The pressure doesn't seem to bother me," he said matter-of-factly. "I kind of understand that I need to perform in the clutch. I wouldn't like if if the pressure wasn't on me."
Following his freshman season, Westlake and the Marmonte League was shifted from Division 2 up to the Land of the Giants in Division 1.
The Warriors were semifinalists in 2011, and lost in the quarterfinals last season to powerhouse Loyola.
Magorien appreciates the competition.
"I wouldn't want to play in any other division," he said. "If you play sports, you want to compete against the best."
Before postseason begins, Magorien and the Warriors are focusing on a Marmonte League race that features both keen competition and, yes, a goodwill tour.
It seems that many of Magorien's sharpest rivals are also teammates on the Conejo Valley-based Bones Club Team that his father operates. A number of players from Royal, including setter John Peachy, Thousand Oaks and Newbury Park are on the same side of the net with Magorien for the club season.
"It's funny to watch," said Doug. "Before our league matches begin, Colby will be hugging the key players on the other team. They're rivals in high school, but teammates on our club team.
"Not many leagues are like ours."
Come next year, there will be another familiar face waiting for Magorien on his collegiate team. He will play at Cal State Northridge, and join older brother Travis.
"I really enjoy playing with him," said Colby. "We were competitive growing up, but we also played different positions and usually ended up on the same team. I'm looking forward to being teammates again."

Oration XXI.
On the Great Athanasius, Bishop of Alexandria.
The reference in §22 to "the Council which sat first at Seleucia…and afterwards at this mighty city," leaves no room for doubting that the Oration was delivered at Constantinople. Further local colour is found in the allusions of §5. We are assured by the panegyric on S. Cyprian (Orat. xxiv. 1) that it was already the custom of the Church of Constantinople to observe annual festivals in honour of the Saints: and at present two days are kept by the Eastern Church, viz., Jan. 18th, as the day of the actual death of S. Athanasius, and May 2d, in memory of the translation of his remains to the church of S. Sophia at Constantinople. Probably, therefore, this Oration was delivered on the former day, on which Assemani holds that S. Athanasius died. Papebroke and (with some hesitation) Dr. Bright pronounce in favour of May 2d. Tillemont supposes that a.d. 379 is the year of its delivery; in which case it must have been very shortly after S. Gregory's arrival in the city. Since, however, no allusion is made to this, it seems, on the whole, more likely that it should be assigned to a.d. 380. The sermon takes high rank, even among S. Gregory's discourses, as the model of an ecclesiastical panegyric. It lacks, however, the charm of personal affection and intimate acquaintance with the inner life, which is characteristic of the orations concerned with his own relatives and friends.
1. In praising Athanasius, I shall be praising virtue. To speak of him and to praise virtue are identical, because he had, or, to speak more truly, has embraced virtue in its entirety. For all who have lived according to God still live unto God, though they have departed hence. For this reason, God is called the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, since He is the God, not of the dead, but of the living.3272
2. Whoever has been permitted to escape by reason and contemplation from matter and this fleshly cloud or veil (whichever it should be called) and to hold communion with God, and be associated, as far as man's nature can attain, with the purest Light, blessed is he, both from his ascent from hence, and for his deification there, which is conferred by true philosophy, and by rising superior to the dualism of matter, through the unity which is perceived in the Trinity. And whosoever has been depraved by being knit to the flesh, and so far oppressed by the clay that he cannot look at the rays of truth, nor rise above things below, though he is born from above, and called to things above, I hold him to be miserable in his blindness, even though he may abound in things of this world; and all the more, because he is the sport of his abundance, and is persuaded by it that something else is beautiful instead of that which is really beautiful, reaping, as the poor fruit of his poor opinion, the sentence of darkness, or the seeing Him to be fire, Whom he did not recognize as light.
3. Such has been the philosophy of few, both nowadays and of old—for few are the men of God, though all are His handiwork,—among lawgivers, generals, priests, Prophets, Evangelists, Apostles, shepherds, teachers, and all the spiritual host and band—and, among them all, of him whom now we praise. And whom do I mean by these? Men like Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the twelve Patriarchs, Moses, Aaron, Joshua, the Judges, Samuel, David, to some extent Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, the Prophets before the captivity, those after the captivity, and, though last in order, first in truth, those who were concerned with Christ's Incarnation or taking of our nature, the lamp3274
4. With some of these Athanasius vied, by some he was slightly excelled, and others, if it is not bold to say so, he surpassed: some he made his models in mental power, others in activity, others in meekness, others in zeal, others in dangers, others in most respects, others in all, gathering from one and another various forms of beauty (like men who paint figures of ideal excellence), and combining them in his single soul, he made one perfect form of virtue out of all, excelling in action men of intellectual capacity, in intellect men of action; or, if you will, surpassing in intellect men renowned for intellect, in action those of the greatest active power; outstripping those who had moderate reputation in both respects, by his eminence in either, and those who stood highest in one or other, by his powers in both; and, if it is a great thing for those who have received an example, so to use it as to attach themselves to virtue, he has no inferior title to fame, who for our advantage has set an example to those who come after him.
5. To speak of and admire him fully, would perhaps be too long a task for the present purpose of my discourse, and would take the form of a history rather than of a panegyric: a history which it has been the object of my desires to commit to writing for the pleasure and instruction of posterity, as he himself wrote the life of the divine Antony,3275
6. He was brought up, from the first, in religious habits and practices, after a brief study of literature and philosophy, so that he might not be utterly unskilled in such subjects, or ignorant of matters which he had determined to despise. For his generous and eager soul could not brook being occupied in vanities, like unskilled athletes, who beat the air instead of their antagonists and lose the prize. From meditating on every book of the Old and New Testament, with a depth such as none else has applied even to one of them, he grew rich in contemplation, rich in splendour of life, combining them in wondrous sort by that golden bond which few can weave; using life as the guide of contemplation, contemplation as the seal of life. For the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and, so to say, its first swathing band; but, when wisdom has burst the bonds of fear and risen up to love, it makes us friends of God, and sons instead of bondsmen.
7. Thus brought up and trained, as even now those should be who are to preside over the people, and take the direction of the mighty body of Christ,3276
8. Thus, and for these reasons, by the vote of the whole people, not in the evil fashion which has since prevailed, nor by means of bloodshed and oppression, but in an apostolic and spiritual manner, he is led up to the throne3286
9. The duties of his office he discharged in the same spirit as that in which he had been preferred to it. For he did not at once, after taking possession of his throne, like men who have unexpectedly seized upon some sovereignty or inheritance, grow insolent from intoxication. This is the conduct of illegitimate and intrusive priests, who are unworthy of their vocation; whose preparation for the priesthood has cost them nothing, who have endured no inconvenience for the sake of virtue, who only begin to study religion when appointed to teach it, and undertake the cleansing of others before being cleansed themselves; yesterday sacrilegious, to-day sacerdotal; yesterday excluded from the sanctuary,3287
10. But why should I paint for you the portrait of the man? St. Paul3291
11. On these grounds, as I have said, I leave others, who have leisure to admire the minor details of his character, to admire and extol him. I call them minor details only in comparing him and his character with his own standard, for that which hath been made glorious hath not been made glorious, even though it be exceeding splendid by reason of the glory that surpasseth,3299
12. In the palmy days of the Church, when all was well, the present elaborate, far-fetched and artificial treatment of Theology had not made its way into the schools of divinity, but playing with pebbles which deceive the eye by the quickness of their changes, or dancing before an audience with varied and effeminate contortions, were looked upon as all one with speaking or hearing of God in a way unusual or frivolous. But since the Sextuses3301
13. The beginning of this madness was Arius (whose name is derived from frenzy3304
14. And therefore, first in the holy Synod of Nicæa,3311
15. There are some who do not excuse even my namesake3314
17. His acts of insolence towards the saint you all know in full detail. Often were the righteous given into the hands of the wicked,3318
18. Such was the lot of Job: such at first sight his history. In reality it was a contest between virtue and envy:3325
19. In this case then it is not wonderful, if George had the advantage of Athanasius; nay it would be more wonderful, if the righteous were not tried in the fire of contumely; nor is this very wonderful, as it would have been had the flames availed for more than this. Then he was in retirement, and arranged his exile most excellently, for he betook himself to the holy and divine homes3329
20. Thus he combined the two, and so united the partisans of both calm action and of active calm, as to convince them that the monastic life is characterised by steadfastness of disposition rather than by bodily retirement. Accordingly the great David was a man of at once the most active and most solitary life, if any one thinks the verse, I am in solitude, till I pass away,3332
21. Such were his surroundings when he approved the wise counsel of Solomon that there is a time to every purpose:3334
22. The crowning feat of this faction was the council which sat first at Seleucia, the city of the holy and illustrious virgin Thekla, and afterwards at this mighty city, thus connecting their names, no longer with noble associations, but with these of deepest disgrace; whether we must call that council, which subverted and disturbed everything, a tower of Chalane,3338
23. Hence came their pretended condemnation3343
24. For in reality, as the Scripture says, the shepherds became brutish,3347
26. Such was Athanasius to us, when present, the pillar of the Church; and such, even when he retired before the insults of the wicked. For those who have plotted the capture of some strong fort, when they see no other easy means of approaching or taking it, betake themselves to arts, and then, after seducing the commander by money or guile, without any effort possess themselves of the stronghold, or, if you will, as those who plotted against Samson first cut off his hair,3355
27. But when from this hurricane of unrighteousness, this corrupter of godliness, this precursor of the wicked one, such satisfaction had been exacted, in a way I cannot praise, for we must consider not what he ought to have suffered, but what we ought3360
28. With reference to this honour there was also current some such report as the following; for I will take leave to mention it, even though it be superfluous, as a kind of flavouring to my speech, or a flower scattered in honour of his entry. After that entry, a certain officer, who had been twice Consul, was riding into the city; he was one of us, among the most noted of Cappadocians. I am sure that you know that I mean Philagrius, who won upon our affections far beyond any one else, and was honoured as much as he was loved, if I may thus briefly set forth all his distinctions: who had been for a second time entrusted with the government of the city, at the request of the citizens, by the decision of the Emperor. Then one of the common people present, thinking the crowd enormous, like an ocean whose bound no eye can see, is reported to have said to one of his comrades and friends—as often happens in such a case—"Tell me, my good fellow, have you ever before seen the people pour out in such numbers and so enthusiastically to do honour to any one man?" "No!" said the young man, "and I fancy that not even Constantius himself would be so treated;" indicating, by the mention of the Emperor, the climax of possible honour. "Do you speak of that," said the other with a sweet and merry laugh, "as something wonderfully great? I can scarcely believe that even the great Athanasius would be welcomed like this," adding at the same time one of our native oaths in confirmation of his words. Now the point of what he said, as I suppose you also plainly see, is this, that he set the subject of our eulogy before the Emperor himself.
29. So great was the reverence of all for the man, and so amazing even now seems the reception which I have described. For if divided according to birth, age and profession, (and the city is most usually arranged in this way, when a public honour is bestowed on anyone) how can I set forth in words that mighty spectacle? They formed one river, and it were indeed a poet's task to describe that Nile, of really golden stream and rich in crops, flowing back again from the city to the Chæreum, a day's journey, I take it, and more. Permit me to revel a while longer in my description: for I am going there, and it is not easy to bring back even my words from that ceremony. He rode upon a colt, almost, blame me not for folly, as my Jesus did upon that other colt,3362
30. He lived then as becomes the rulers of such a people, but did he fail to teach as he lived? Were his contests out of harmony with his teaching? Were his dangers less than those of men who have contended for any truth? Were his honours inferior to the objects for which he contended? Did he after his reception in any way disgrace that reception? By no means. Everything was harmonious, as an air upon a single lyre, and in the same key; his life, his teaching, his struggles, his dangers, his return, and his conduct after his return. For immediately on his restoration to his Church, he was not like those who are blinded by unrestrained passion, who, under the dominion of their anger, thrust away or strike at once whatever comes in their way, even though it might well be spared. But, thinking this to be a special time for him to consult his reputation, since one who is ill-treated is usually restrained, and one who has the power to requite a wrong is ungoverned, he treated so mildly and gently those who had injured him, that even they themselves, if I may say so, did not find his restoration distasteful.
31. He cleansed the temple of those who made merchandise of God, and trafficked in the things of Christ, imitating Christ3363
32. But yet it was not likely that envy could brook all this, or see the Church restored again to the same glory and health as in former days, by the speedy healing over, as in the body, of the wounds of separation. Therefore it was, that he raised up against Athanasius the Emperor, a rebel like himself,3365
33. Brief was the interval before Justice pronounced sentence, and handed over the offender3367
34. This confession was, it seems, greeted with respect by all, both in West and East, who were capable of life; some cherishing piety within their own bosoms, if we may credit what they say, but advancing no further, like a still-born child which dies within its mother's womb; others kindling to some extent, as it were, sparks, so far as to escape the difficulties of the time, arising either from the more fervent of the orthodox, or the devotion of the people; while others spoke the truth with boldness, on whose side I would be, for I dare make no further boast; no longer consulting my own fearfulness—in other words, the views of men more unsound than myself (for this we have done enough and to spare, without either gaining anything from others, or guarding from injury that which was our own, just as bad stewards do) but bringing forth to light my offspring, nourishing it with eagerness, and exposing it, in its constant growth, to the eyes of all.
35. This, however, is less admirable than his conduct. What wonder that he, who had already made actual ventures on behalf of the truth, should confess it in writing? Yet this point I will add to what has been said, as it seems to me especially wonderful and cannot with impunity be passed over in a time so fertile in disagreements as this. For his action, if we take note of him, will afford instruction even to the men of this day. For as, in the case of one and the same quantity of water, there is separated from it, not only the residue which is left behind by the hand when drawing it, but also those drops, once contained in the hand, which trickle out through the fingers; so also there is a separation between us and, not only those who hold aloof in their impiety, but also those who are most pious, and that both in regard to such doctrines as are of small consequence (a matter of less moment) and also in regard to expressions intended to bear the same meaning. We use in an orthodox sense the terms one Essence and three Hypostases, the one to denote the nature of the Godhead, the other the properties3371
36. This in itself was more profitable than the long course of labours and teaching on which all writers enlarge, for in it somewhat of ambition mingled, and consequently, perhaps, somewhat of novelty in expressions. This again was of more value than his many vigils and acts of discipline,3374
37. After such a course, as taught and teacher, that his life and habits form the ideal of an Episcopate, and his teaching the law of orthodoxy, what reward does he win for his piety? It is not indeed right to pass this by. In a good old age he closed his life,3376

You might be a National League partisan wondering who in the heck Glen Perkins is. Maybe you think he's a rockabilly singer who cut "Hoogily Hoogily Hoo" for Sun Records in '59. That'd be a great guess. But he's a left-handed reliever for the Minnesota Twins, and the Twins think he's a pretty good one. Good enough for a three-year deal with a club option:
The Twins signed left-handed reliever Glen Perkins on Thursday to a three-year contract extension, worth a guaranteed $10.3 million, through the 2015 season.
The deal also includes a club option for 2016. Perkins was already under contract for the 2012 season at $1.55 million.
Perkins was a first-round pick of the Twins in 2004, but last year was his first above-average year in any capacity. He posted a 2.48 ERA and had a 65/21 K/BB ratio in 61 innings, allowing just two home runs.
He'll be making a little less than the average lefty setup man, so he's taking something of a risk, but the Twins are also taking a risk by giving him three guaranteed years after a single good year.

"A Noble Desire," a documentary about the 1999 Benin Reconciliation Conference, will be shown Sunday, Feb. 4 at 2 p.m. in room 101, Mills Godwin Jr. Life Sciences Building as part of a conference on racial reconciliation. Following the screening, participants will be able to discuss the film with a representative from the Benin government, U.S. representatives who attended the Benin conference and the filmmakers.
The conference is sponsored by Old Dominion University's student chapter of National Conference on Community and Justive (NCCJ), along with Virginia Wesleyan College and WHRO.
According to William Hart, faculty adviser for Old Dominion's NCCJ, Benin, a country in western Africa, played an important role in the slave trade. "In the past, leaders of Benin helped bring millions of Africans into slavery," he said. "The current leader of Benin, President Mathieu Kerekou, did a brave thing. His mission was simple: Seek forgiveness from the millions of displaced Africans. He led his entire country in this simple yet difficult venture. President Kerekou along with the Beninese people took responsibility for their country's past and he invited other nations to do the same. 'A Noble Desire' shows this story of forgiveness."

The 2012-13 Rockford IceHogs team awards were presented on Friday before the IceHogs' home regular season finale at the BMO Harris Bank Center against the Chicago Wolves. In all, nine awards were handed out.
For the first time in the team's AHL era, the IceHogs named Co-MVP's. Centers Brandon Pirri and Martin St. Pierre were named Co-MVPs as the combo lead the IceHogs in scoring and are the only skaters to have appeared in every game this season for Rockford.
Pirri, in his third season, paces the Hogs with 63 through 72 games. Pirri's point total is currently tied for the second most in the AHL. The center is Rockford's all-time leading point scorer as he has racked up 162 points, including 55g-107a in 208 career games with the IceHogs.
St. Pierre is in his second stint with Rockford and is the team's second all-time leading point producer. This season, the team captain has 25g-31a-56pts in 72 games and was named to the AHL All-Star Classic for the fifth time in his career. Combined with the 2007-08 campaign, his first in Rockford, St. Pierre has 144 points in 141 career games with the IceHogs.
Ryan Stanton was named the team's Best Defenseman for the second straight season. Stanton is tied for the team lead with a plus/minus rating of +14 entering play on Friday. The blueliner has also set career highs in assists (21) and points (24).
Adam Clendening garnered the team's Rookie of the Year Award. The first year d-man has set IceHogs rookie records for assists (36) and points (43). Clendening was named an AHL Second Team All-Star and to the AHL's All-Star Classic.
Another defenseman was honored on Friday as Klas Dahlbeck was given the team's Most Improved award. Playing in his first season in North America, the Katrineholm, Sweden native has developed as one of the steadiest d-men on the IceHogs. Dahlbeck boasts a plus/minus rating of +8 through 66 games to go along with four assists.
Third-year winger Ben Smith earned the team's Unsung Hero Award. Smith has battled through injuries this season and still has managed 19g-17a-36pts in 50 games this season. Smith's 2011-12 campaign was also cut short due to injury.
Goalie Carter Hutton was named the IceHogs' Fan Favorite after a vote was conducted on the IceHogs Facebook page.
The other two awards handed out were the IceHogs' Man of Year to Jimmy Hayes, which was announced on Thursday by the AHL and the team's Leading Scorer Award to Pirri.

June 13, 2014Statement from Interim Joplin City Manager Sam AnselmRe: Statistics on Rebuilding following May 2011 disaster
Yesterday, our Public Information Officer alerted me to some concerns that residents had about the accuracy or validity of the numbers the City has presented regarding the rebuilding progress of our community, as reported in a recent article in the Joplin Globe. It is important to note that the numbers we have presented in the past do not just represent the rebuilding efforts within the tornado area; instead, they reflect our recovery progress from a community perspective as a whole. This distinction is important because the City does not require residential occupancy permits, so the rebuilding figures and population estimates we have presented have always been a guesstimate using a combination of data points, including building permits issued by the City, the number of active water and electric meters provided to us by Missouri American and Empire District, and various housing studies that have been conducted.
In response to the concerns raised however, we will be taking a closer look at the rebuilding data to ensure that the information we convey is clearer, more concise, and more accurate in the future. This may take some time due to the amount of data to review, and I graciously ask for the public's patience with this process. As a resident, business owner, volunteer or visitor to our community, you have my assurance that we have a committed, hard-working staff that is focused not just on rebuilding the tornado-damaged area of our city, but in making the entire Joplin community a place we can all be proud of.
In closing, I want to thank you for your ongoing interest in and support of our community. You wouldn't be reading this if you didn't care about what happens in our city, and I appreciate your efforts and commitment to Joplin. We have already demonstrated to the world what a united, focused group of people can achieve in the face of unprecedented challenges, and I hope that same spirit of cooperation continues long after our recovery is complete.
Respectfully,Sam AnselmInterim City Manager

The Craig Counsell Park will be closed on Memorial Day weekend, as Whitefish Bay Little League plans to spray pesticides on the field.
The village sent out an email notification to residents Thursday afternoon about the pesticide application. According to the memo, the village approved the little league's request to spray pesticides because it is in accordance with this year's turf maintenance plan.
: Two weeks ago, at the last Village Board meeting, nearly a dozen residents spoke out against the application of pesticides a day earlier at .
According to the village memo:
All turf at the little league field will be sprayed with Mec Amine D (a selective broadleaf herbicide) for general weed control. Common areas and areas along fence lines will be sprayed with Razor Pro (a non-selective herbicide) to control unwanted grass and weed growth. Doucide, a granular insect controller, will be applied to control grubs and other destructive insects. A Material Safety Data Sheet on the applied products are available at the snack shack.
A certified application contractor will perform the work according to industry best practices. The park will be closed May 25 through the afternoon of May 28.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC)- For 13 years now, area schools have been battling it out to see who has the superior players, but not on the hardwood or the gridiron. These students compete on the chess board.
Members of the Rochester Area Scholastic Chess League met up at Century High School Saturday for the 2013 City Cup. Teams from Century, Lourdes and a combined Mayo-Stewartville team put their skills to the test for the right to call themselves "kings" of the city.
Century has won 8 of the past 12 city cups since starting the competition.
Chess is one game that has stood the tests of time, keeping kids excited until someone says checkmate.
"There's a lot of variety in the way that pieces can move, as well as where players can move those pieces," explains Chuck Handlon with Rochester Public Schools. "So, once a student learns the game and really gets hooked on it, they want to just keep going to higher and higher levels. It sort of becomes as addictive, I think, as any video game would."
Century came out on top in this year's competition, claiming their 9th city cup in 13 tries.
The game of chess is not only used in competition in Rochester, but also as a social integration tool for those who are just coming into the country.

By 1354, the city was important for administration activities and it became the capital in 1563. However, the French gained ownership of it in the 1800s and it was designated again as a capital, this time of the French protectorate.
One of its later claims to fame is that in 2009 it was the scene of the Southeast Asian Games.
Taking pictures is a great way to keep memories of historical landmarks in Southeast Asia. will be able to visit several Buddhist temples or monuments; one of the most famous is the Pha That Luang.

With Film Dead or Dying, Can You Still Get the 80s or 90s Wide Open Low Light Look?
Film is going the way of other elegant, exotic, but evolutionarily condemned creatures such as the Tasmanian Tiger, the Dodo bird, and the Macarena. Somehow chart the decline of film use against the rise of digital and you'll hear a lot about 'how to make digital look like film' in your research. It's almost an existential crisis for shooters of our transitional generation, and the heart of digital's identity crisis. If film is the look of cinema, what's the key ingredient? Resolution? Latitude — or worse, light response curve? Motion transfer? Color reproduction? Or should we just let "the digital look" evolve into its own beast altogether? That's a lot of heavy questions for a Sunday afternoon read, but ones unavoidably raised by a post from Art Adams of Pro Video Coalition about the wide open lensed and low light look of '80′s and '90′s films.
Art's post at PVC is wonderful because it focuses on something any shooter can get behind — the unique look of shooting wide open in low light on 35mm film. His focus is on an age approaching the most advanced and mature one celluloid technology will ever achieve in both design and development — the 1980s and '90s. He highlights work by master DP Robby Muller (Mystery Train; Paris, Texas). I would extend the reach all the way to '99′s Fight Club, which may be one of the last great examples of wide open ISO 500 night street shooting we have — before the ubiquity of the DI, quite importantly.
That said, Mystery Train still epitomizes the look to which Art refers. Here's the trailer, unfortunately far from HD quality — for a higher quality and conveniently un-embeddable version, check out the film on Criterion Collection's website.
Art's post is a must-read for its articulate (and extensive) breakdown of this sort of lighting, and its interaction with the environment and therefore characters. Here's a bit of the Filet mignon:
It's also simpler to do what I call "volumetric lighting" at low light levels. In this style of lighting the "shape" of the light comes from proximity to the light: as an actor walks through a space they are lit by light bouncing off a tabletop, and then by a practical light source, and finally they stop in a doorway where they are lit by soft light from the next room. In each case the light isn't projecting into the scene, but instead it is radiating through space in such a way that you can feel it interact with people as they move past the source.
Hard light has a certain character to it that can be very attractive but it doesn't necessarily define space, other than through highlight and shadow, because you don't know where the actor is in relation to the light. If an actor is lit by bounce light off a table then we get a sense of where the actor is in space relative to the table, because as soon as they walk away from the table the bounce light fades away.
I suspect that this style of lighting is going to come back into vogue simply because modern cameras are getting to be so fast that we can light with very small and very soft sources again. At ISO 800 I can light an interior so dimly that the monitor looks brighter than the scene does by eye. That's when some wonderful things can happen, both because I can work quickly with smaller light sources but also because practicals in the frame actually do cool things to the people and the set. At the same time I can keep my T-stop at 2.8 or so, because shooting at a wider stop than that is just cruel to a focus puller.
Given how far sensors in the digital realm have come in terms of sensitivity, the tendency or even temptation to underlight is understandable, and furthermore, viable. In fact, low light performance has become a technical measuring stick in its own right. You surely remember Nocturne:
This is a key example of how the unique things working for digital can help it find its own identity in the hands of a crew with a vision. On the other hand, if your goal is to emulate the look and feel of a medium in which black was black and ISO 500 (pushed up to two stops in the bath) was the absolute limit of acceptable stock, the first step is to play by the old rules. Joe Marine would scold me for leaving out the importance of optics in achieving 'the look,' but I honestly think playing by the old rules is the biggest step in working toward it. Shooting for a film look at this point in the game (and depending on your camera) isn't necessarily fighting the nature of the imaging system — it's a matter of choice.
It may seem counter-intuitive or counter-productive to overlight these days — and if you find the look you achieve with an acceptable exposure the most pleasing, then your decision is simple. If what you're after is something literally more 'filmic,' the answer is equally simple, though it may not be as easy. Light in every sense and way you can as though you're building an exposure for low light 35mm, and you have the look — all that's left is adjusting transmission (likely through filters), followed by gamma curve and color reproduction in post. After that, you just have to hope the motion transfer, noise structure, and resolution are close enough to fool the cinephiles.

We're all here for the same reason: to better ourselves as writers, directors, cinematographers, producers, photographers... whatever our creative pursuit. Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!
Interesting article. I well remember lighting issues encountered when shooting some model sequences for Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits circa 1980. The models required several carbon arc lights plus auxillaries and even then the shadows in the polystyrene/plaster models totally soaked up the light. Now it could be lite with a fraction of the light although whether we could have got away in the detail (and by association the low budget) because of today's HD definition is debatable.
Dave Kendricken on 01.20.13 @ 5:51PM
Great point Marc — I for one hope the growing ease of and access to computer graphics & animation doesn't render modelwork totally extinct!
tony mallory III on 01.20.13 @ 6:13PM
Digital will evolve into its own identity and perform as film can't. The usual pattern during the transitional period between analog and digital is for digital to emulate analog…..initially.
Music is a good example of that evolution. In the old days, people tried to use drum machines to replace people drummers. These days, digital drums do things the human specimen can't do, e.g., play at 180bpm all night in perfect tempo! Conversely, those who prefer analog record to tape and press on vinyl, both which never died. Analog, however, is expensive and not very green, out of reach for many indies.
Ultimately, I think Kodak will survive. Digital will take off into its own direction, going where film can't. Want film? Shoot film if you can afford it, and it might be relegated to the elite crowd. Film and digital will co-exist.
MutinyCo on 01.20.13 @ 6:52PM
This is how Kubrick/Alcott used to shoot. (How I tend to as well.) It'll always be a specialty look for one simple reason: DPs like to light.
brett on 01.22.13 @ 3:14AM
Kubrick still employed lots of lighting on his sets. Eyes wide shut was shot on 400asa film, the fastest stock he ever employed, and he still had lots of china balls around. Lighting is an art that won't die because it's not just about replicating reality, but being expressive. It's just you might end up doing away bespoke fixtures and artfully place practicals. Here's where the production designer and the lighting camera man get to collaborate very closely.
great article – thanks!!
Soosan Khanoom on 01.21.13 @ 2:28AM
Shoot film you want to shoot film, shoot digital if you want to shoot digital.
I just can not understand what the fxxk is the problem?
Problem is.. for the purists… that it'll simply become too expensive to choose film for film-look instead of doing a digital emulation.
Natt on 01.21.13 @ 6:27PM
I very much like the look, but I hate everything else about it. I want film quality without the headaches, what the fxxk is your problem?
Soosan Khanoom on 01.22.13 @ 2:34AM
Go hard or go home. You want the film look, you shoot film. Done.
Neil on 01.21.13 @ 2:36AM
Back when I was a camera assistant I had the privilege of working with Robby Mueller. He is indeed a master. Most impressive thing I saw was a poor-man's-process shot – the talent were on a plane and Robby set up mirrors outside the windows that were in shot so that when the camera saw outside the window you could see clouds slowly drifting by. So simple and so magical. He was also a wonderful guy and a terrific boss. One of the highlights of my time in the camera department.
Haha… I'll remember that one.
Usually when people talk about poor-mans-process-shot it's to describe when shooting a car-scene with the car stationary and the background is just pure black while the assistant bumps the car occasionally.
Reminds me btw of how they would shoot helicopter-scenes by just having the rotors turn on idle and put the camera on the ground pointing up so there's only sky in the background. (best way to gauge if they actually were flying is to look for scenes where the camera is with the helicopter with camera-angles pointing down)

Poor-man's-process is awesome. It looks so frickin' hokey when you're doing it on set with grips bumping the vehicles, lamp ops swinging lights over the vehicle on c-stand arms and props people spritzing the windshield with fake rain etc. but add a few sound fx and voila! Movie magic! Nothing beats selling illusions like that in a totally practical manner on set with zero cgi work. :)

One of the problems I have with current digital sensors (and I seem to be one of only a few who cares) in lowlight situations is the way they handle red traffic and car brake lights or red LEDs. In almost every situation, film renders those things as a true red or red with a yellowish orange center. Digital, on the other hand, renders those lights as white with a pink halo. You can clearly see this in the poster frame for "Nocturne" on this page. It's a dead giveaway that you're watching digital, regardless of how you light the scene otherwise.
Digital also does this with other colored light sources as well. Green and amber traffic lights are white with a green or yellow halo, respectively. Neon signs, if they're bright enough, are white with whatever color halo the light actually is. If the narrative or an important plot point of your film relied on the red color of a traffic light (for example), you'd be screwed unless you had permission (local film office involvement) and the qualified personnel (larger crew) to gel the lights or perform replacements/enhancements in post. Both options are doable but also a pain in the arse you didn't have to worry about with film.
Perhaps newer sensors will be able to hold the color better in the brightest areas of a colored light source.
I totally agree with you Brian!
Maybe it's because I've shot tons of stills at night with 35mm film… but I can never get neon or traffic lights to expose as I see them. My longtime goal is to capture traffic lights at twilight and dusk as my eye sees them.
It will, it will, i saw some specs for the new Dragon sensor and it should fix that issue permanently,
the digital is still evolving but already you can see some amazing things we could not do just a few years ago.
I love the look and feel of Film, and all the processes involved in making this magic appear on the big screen,
but i don't hate digital, it's just a different choice, if the movie does not scream for a Film approach or look, then just embrace the digital, it can give you things you would never imagine.

I remember my first exposure to volumetric lighting in my studies. It was the basement scene in "Peggy Sue Got Married" where the key light was supposed to be the moon and her boyfriend was wearing a white shirt. As he got closer to her in the space (and therefore closer to the "moon"), his shirt illuminated her face.
Volumetric lighting has to be one of the most stupid terms I've heard used to describe lighting with low foot candles, I'd really be talking more about pools of light and the inverse square law

The discussion on whether to make video behave like film or to let it's natural attributes become the new look of drama has been going on since at least the 1980s. In those days there was "Video Art" and there was "Cinema" and they were different worlds but there was overlap with some people who were using (analog) video to make narrative drama. At the time some didn't like the look of it while others didn't even notice. Now that video technology has met film in quality we look back at those old videos and see it as a valid look in it's own way.
I remember in the early '90s when video technology was getting better, some said that 24 fps is for drama and 19.97 is for live action and documentary. Others countered that saying that young people don't have those associations and can watch any frame rate for anything.
One of my recent experimental shorts was done in HDV. My aesthetic reference was 1960s experimental film so I was going to add a film grain filter and make it black and white in post. I was picking out which amount of grain and grain size when another filmmaker friend said "Why not just let it be what it is? It's an experimental 21st century HDV film". You know, he was right. I left the original look of it, complete with that bluish tint that the cheap white LED light sources I was using had and I now love it. In a way I was telling myself that I was not as valid as someone in the past. They were real and I was faking it. I now disagree. We are both real using what we can get our hands on at the time in history that we live in.

I don't know about you guys. But I have shot a lot on film. And honestly nowadays when I look at digital vs. film. I think that the digital image looks better and nicer. Film looks "old" to me and I would never shoot on film again.
Out of all Cameras nowadays I think that the Arri Alexa looks closest to the "film look" and then the "Red One MX". With the EPIC you have to do a lot of post to get it to look filmic and not so digital….
Natt on 01.21.13 @ 6:30PM
Alexa looks more filmic, because of the better latitude. It's a bit harder on Red, but not nearly as "a lot of post work" as you think.
andy on 01.21.13 @ 7:27PM
Natt do you care to share roughly what that process(making red 1 mx look filmic) entails, id love to here your thoughts…
Natt on 01.21.13 @ 6:06PM
Not everything… not yet.

To be honest I am not impressed by Vincent in any real sense. I think that he pulls of really good work. Yet, I find his eye for lighting and the way he colors to feel plastic. As if we are watching an ad shot on a poor canon.
This is simply a view on him.
In terms of low light "film" look and/or feel You should look and watch the films that are digital. Watch how they utilize their digital camera. DSLR films tend to just bug me. So most films shot with a RED One were okay. Soderbergh seems to have a handle on it.
What I don't like are TIGHT shots. Yes be tight, but why for a dramatic effect are you fucking using a 85mm or something like that. Did you not see Leon? One of the best shots in that film is when Gary Oldman turns around. Um 25mm or 35mm. Did that shot not make squirm? I did. And why? because the feel of the shot felt claustrophobic. Today I seem the same shot, but the depth of field is lost. We have guy's/girl's head looking and I feel like it's a damn romantic shot. Get back to the psychology of a shot and the importance that fucking image.
Ignore my swearing. I just am not a fan of current cinematography these days. Rather turned off. Hell I did a shot for film and really pushed how far light can be utilized. Phew it looked classic noir. I'll try and post it somewhere one of these days.
Okay I'm going on. In short. Good article, but not a good example of digital.
I'd pick this one instead. It's a still from Fincher's Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. http://evanerichards.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/DragonTattoo257-580×250.jpg
For a film choice look at this. From The Conformist. http://i2.tinypic.com/6tp3zgw.png
Just look at how these two control their image. Today's work lacks this.
But then again I'm a rather opinionated person.
Pierre Samuel Rioux on 01.27.13 @ 2:33AM
I never like this look in the 80′s full open and no beep of field focus and only a group of filmmaker running after this. Like today running about shooting at low light.Film user try to imitate TV and videomaker try to imitate film.
You have no end on this.
Stanly Kubrick in Barry Lindon he work in low light for the propose of this film period and he do not do this in all his film. In film i have a ratio of 3feet on 5 ft shot, some documentaries filmmaker around me shot 60 to 130 hrs
to do a 45 minute documentaries ? A lot of work for a editor to trim all this…
It's 2013. I don't want anything I shoot in this HIGH-DEFINITION DIGITAL era to "look like film" or look like something that was done in the 80s and 90s.

Freedom from Digestive Distress is written by Gary Gitnick, M.D., who attended medical school at the University of Chicago and was an intern at Johns Hopkins Hospital. He served his residency at the Mayo Clinic, and is currently Chief of Digestive Diseases at UCLA.
A Focus on Lifestyle Changes
In his book, Dr. Gitnick advocates using lifestyle changes to combat digestive disorders such as heartburn, gas, bloating and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The book begins by explaining the causes of digestive problems that can include smoking, poor nutrition, and psychological and social factors.
By taking the reader through several case studies, Dr. Gitnick illustrates important lifestyle changes that can alleviate symptoms. The case studies are intriguing, and truly give an insight into how digestive disease is much more than "something I ate." Instead, problems can be caused by a variety of factors that work together.
For instance, there is a type of hormone produced in the brain called a neurohormone. In people with IBS, this hormone has a negative effect on motility in the colon. Additionally, people with IBS have more sensitive colons that other people. This leads to the problems that people with IBS have with pain, as well as constipation and diarrhea.
Dr. Gitnick also maintains that diet has a significant effect on the symptoms of IBS. He outlines the types of foods that can work as triggers. Additionally, other factors to reduce symptoms, such as stress reduction, are discussed.
The heart of the book is the section "10 Principles Guaranteed to Get Your Gut Out of That Rut." These ten tips are outlined in detail, and examples are given. They range from "Keep a Journal" to "Build in Appropriate Rewards." Not just dietary changes, these are guidelines to changing your lifestyle, which is the most difficult part of managing a digestive disease.
Food Journals and Stress
Dr. Gitnick goes on to describe how to keep a food journal. By analyzing the food journal, he suggests creating a "food pyramid." Not the kind we're used to seeing, but a more personalized food pyramid outlining the foods that can trigger symptoms, and the foods that are safe to eat.
The fifth chapter of the book is called "Managing Life Outside Your Digestive System." This chapter gives practical advice about how to deal with the stress we all have in our lives. Again, Dr. Gitnick offers ten tips to handling situations, including whether or not to tell other people about medical conditions.
Overall, I found this book to be positive and informative. Throughout the book Dr. Gitnick uses examples from his medical practice to make his point clearer. This also serves a secondary purpose -- it shows that the guidance he offers his patients truly helps them.See the next page for an excerpt from the book.

If you're getting together soon with loved ones to celebrate the holidays, a birthday or a special anniversary, make an extra effort to be observant. Many cases of dementia go undiagnosed until they progress into the middle stages, but there are benefits for early diagnosis and treatment.
Family gatherings are a great time to take note of how your loved ones are doing, especially if you live out of town and see your them infrequently. Since phone conversations can often hide difficulties such as early memory loss, the opportunity to be present in the same room offers you the chance to make sure things are going as well as they report that they are.
Look for These 9 Signs of Early Dementia
- Indirect, Vague Answers or Phrases
For example, if you ask your mother what time your brother is coming home to the party, she may respond, "Oh, pretty soon. You know Fred." Or, to multiple questions, she may answer, "You know that's just how it goes" or a similar filler phrase.
- Deflection
Similarly, if you ask your dad a question about his favorite sports team, he might say, "Well, what do you think?" instead of spewing all of the statistics he normally provides on the top players.
- Word-Finding Difficulty
We all have the occasional lapse where a word escapes us, but if you notice that happening several times throughout the evening, it's possible that there's something more going on with your loved one's health.
- Misplaced Things
Perhaps you're helping out in the kitchen and you offer to refill the ice. When you open the freezer, you find your aunt's glasses in there along with the ice. You also noticed that she's missing her Christmas place mats that have been a tradition for as long as you can remember. When you ask her about them, she shrugs and says she isn't sure where they went.
- Multiple Written Notes
Most people write notes down on their calendars or in their address book, but someone with early stage Alzheimer's might write the same things down several times on different pages. If you see several different sticky notes with similar information written on each, take a closer look at how your loved one is really doing.
- Uncharacteristic Reliance on Spouse or Other Loved One
If you see your father depend heavily on your mother for answers to questions and that's unusual for him, take note. You might also notice that he rarely leaves her side and if she goes off to do something, he follows closely behind or appears anxious if she's not near him. She may have been compensating for his memory loss for some time, and filling in the blanks for him in conversation.
- Error in Making a Traditional Food Dish
Maybe you're celebrating the holidays at your sister's house this year. You're looking forward to her famous apple dessert, but when you arrive, she tells you that it didn't turn out right this year. Or, her always perfectly fluffy and tasty mashed potatoes are chunky and watery at dinner, but she seems not to notice.
- Unusual Irritation or Frustration
If your long-suffering, patient Uncle Fred is notably short-tempered, easily angered, and just seems out of character, this change in personality could be a sign of early stage dementia. In some dementias, such as frontotemporal dementia, the first symptoms you might notice are behavioral changes rather than the more typical memory loss or confusion. While he could just be having an "off" day, temperament and behavioral changes that linger should be evaluated.
- Repeating Questions
Finally, maybe your loved one asks you how your work is going. You answer her and tell her about a recent struggle there, and a few minutes later she asks you how your job is going. You answer her again but an hour later, she again asks you about your work. While she might just be really interested in your well-being and your job, this also can be a sign that her memory is declining.
I'm Concerned. Now What?
If you've read through these scenarios and a couple of them seem all too familiar, it's important to find out more. Talk to your loved one and those close to him to determine if he's showing some of the other symptoms of early stage Alzheimer's. If so, a physician's assessment is a must to determine if there's a reversible cause for his cognitive decline, or if he might benefit from some of the treatment available if he has early stage Alzheimer's.

Cocoa running back Tarean Folston will announce his college decision today (Wednesday Jan. 2) at ESPN's Wide World of Sports as part of the preparation leading up to Friday's Under Armour All-American Game in St. Petersburg. (CHRIS HAYS/ORLANDO SENTINEL / December 31, 2012)
Cocoa High running back Tarean Folston, who was originally thought to be slated to announce his college choice at the Under Armour All-American Game on Friday in St. Petersburg, has selected Notre Dame.
Folston chose the Irish over Oregon and Florida State, his other finalists of more than 30 offers.
"Notre Dame is just a good school with a nice family enviroment, great players, great people around the community and I just felt like I coud fit in there," Folston said. "[Oregon and FSU] were very tough to turn down, but at the end of the day, I'm happy with my decision and I'm ready to get up there and start working out."
Fellow Florida running back Greg Bryant of Delray Beach American Heritage committed to the Irish earlier this fall, but Notre Damewas still in the market for a second running back in the 2013 recruitng class following the recent decommit of Katy, Texas, RB Jamel James just before Christmas.
The Irish, who will face Alabama in Monday's BCS Championship game in Miami, graduate their top two running backs from this season in Theo Riddick and Cierre Wood, who have combined for 290 carries and 1,620 yards this season. The top returning runner for next year will be George Atkinson III, a sophomore who has 361 yards on 51 carries.
Folston actually was able to see Bryant firsthand in Cocoa's kickoff classic game against American Heritage, which Cocoa won 25-7 in a nationally televised ESPN game in August.
"I got two tackles in on him but I was at safety, so if I got two tackles on him then that means my teammates were doing their job up front," Folston said of playing against his future teammate.
Folston (5-9, 190) said he will probably just take it easy on Monday night and wathc the BCS national championship from his home with a few friends and family.
"I don't really do parties," Folston said.

Aircraft Tie Down
From SKYbrary Wiki
|Article Information
|Ground Operations
|Content source:
|Content control:
An aircraft tie-down scheme is designed to minimise the possibility of aircraft movement due to high winds or propeller/jet-efflux. Tie down is most likely to apply to aircraft up to about 12 tonnes12,000 kg
26,455.471 lbs for normal conditions in temperate latitudes but in the case of extremely high winds everywhere, this indicative maximum could need upward revision.
Each year numerous aircraft are needlessly damaged by winds or propeller/jet efflux because of inattention to weather forecasts, negligence, or improper tie-down procedures; it doesn't necessarily take storm-force winds to cause aircraft damage.
If the weather conditions warrant it, an aircraft should be parked and tied down into wind, or as nearly into wind as possible. There are varied opinions as to whether a tail wheel aircraft should be tied down tail into wind. Remember that your aircraft was designed to meet the airflow head-on, and that flying control surfaces can be easily damaged if control locks are not in place when the aircraft is parked tail into wind. The aircraft also has a tendency to weathercock when on the ground. Therefore, if parked tail into wind (and not properly secured), it could be blown over as it is rotated into wind by a sudden gust. If the aircraft is parked tail into wind, it must have the park brakes on, control locks in place and the tail securely tied down.
- Physical damage to the aircraft arising from lack of, or inappropriate, tie-down.
- Damage to aircraft or airfield arising from inappropriate checks following tie-down.
- If the forecast winds are strong enough to damage the aircraft, then one course of action is of course to fly the aircraft to another airfield away from the forecast area of strong winds. This may not always be possible or practical.
- Park the aircraft in a storm proof hangar.
- If that is not possible, employ a suitable 3-point tie-down scheme; aircraft owners, operators and pilots should ensure that they know the correct method for securing their particular aircraft type.
- After the aircraft has been standing out and tied-down, a very careful pre-flight inspection should be carried out.
- Ensure that all tie-down strops, opening covers and external gust locks are removed before going flying.
Typical Scenarios
The following is an extract from a real-life incident:
"As the aircraft took off from Runway 25, the tower Air Traffic Control Officer observed an object dangling from the tail. The object was subsequently identified as a car tyre filled with concrete, which had been used to tie down the aircraft on the ground. The pilot was informed and he landed the aircraft safely after completing a normal circuit. After landing, the aircraft was taxied clear of the runway and shut down before the tie-down weight was removed. A runway inspection was carried out before further use. The pilot reported that during the aircraft's pre-flight inspection he had removed the tie down weights attached to the wings but had failed to notice the tie down weight attached to the tail".
Contributory Factors
- Other Aircraft. It is important to make sure any adjacent aircraft are also securely tied down - having your own aircraft well tied down will be wasted if the neighbouring aircraft blows over on to it.
- Flying Debris. Always check the surrounding area for other items that could be a danger as flying debris - things as large as 44-gallon drums or aircraft stairs and maintenance stands on castors have been known to blow across a tarmac area.
- Multi-engine aircraft. Smaller twin engined aircraft can also require tie-down; many do not have suffient weight to protect them from movement by strong winds.
- Any small aircraft parking area should be equipped for three-point tie-downs. The direction in which the aircraft are to be parked and tied down will be determined by prevailing or forecast wind direction.
- If fixed tie-down points are not available, then try to find a sheltered place in which to picket the aircraft, eg, a natural depression in the ground, in the lee of a building, or behind a shelterbelt of trees. Seek local knowledge - sometimes the seemingly logical place may in fact be the worst because of localised wind effects. If a relatively sheltered place cannot be found, it may be possible to park a truck or tractor in front of the aircraft. This will serve as an extra tie-down point, as well as helping to break up the airflow over the aircraft.
- If permanent tie-down facilities are not available it will be necessary to use your own set of pickets. Your picket set should include a number of steel stakes, a mallet and ropes of appropriate length, all stowed in a bag or other suitable container.

News: Chris Brown's Injured Assault Female Victim Busted In New Footage [Video]
Wednesday, Jun 26, 2013 11:50AM
Days after claiming Chris Brown assaulted her in a nightclub and could possibly need surgery for the injuries she sustained, 24-year-old victim Deanna Gines is shown in near-perfect health courtesy of new footage.
The footage, which should likely vindicate Brown, surfaced online Wednesday (June 26).
The video was shot early Sunday morning in the Heat Ultra Lounge parking structure in Anaheim, where Deanna Gines was being escorted out by security. She's clearly upset, telling the bodyguards, "F*** all y'all!" As we reported, Gines claims Chris Brown shoved her to the ground inside the club, tearing the ligaments in her right knee. But the video appears to contradict her story ... because you see Gines putting weight on her right leg and limping on her left. Sources at the club tell us, Gines did actually injure herself ... but it was her own fault, drunkenly stumbling down some stairs on the way out of the club. As we reported, the club's owner (as well as several eyewitnesses) claim Chris never touched Gines. (TMZ)
Earlier this week, the club owner said she was forced to leave after acting rowdy.
The owner says Gines got tossed as a result of her behavior -- and while being taken out, the owner says Gines took off her heels and threw them at security. The owner says police were called to arrest Gines, but eventually let her go home with her friends. As for any potential injuries Gines may have suffered while being kicked out, the owner simply said, "Heat staff and security did what they had to do ... [Chris] was a complete gentleman." (TMZ)
Although no longer on his page, Breezy stepped forward to deny the victim's claims on Twitter after the accusations became public.
Brown, 24, denied the accusation on Twitter, saying he "didn't do anything" and was sick of taking hits to his reputation. "The devil is always working. If it wasn't for my faith and my fans, I would've quick music along time ago," he tweeted Monday. "I'm tired of it man....!" (New York Daily News)
Earlier this year, Brown talked about winning back former girlfriend Rihanna after their publicized domestic violence altercation back in 2009.
Exhibit A: R&B star Chris Brown says he's worked hard and persuaded pop-star Rihanna to forgive him and love him again, even though he beat her up in 2009 and may still be on the hook for charges in the case. London's The Mirror tabloid is reporting today that he granted a "searingly honest" interview to a Mirror scribe in which he apologized, again, held up the assault as the "biggest mistake" of his life, and acknowledged that winning Rihanna back took months of "serious making up." "But she loves me -- what can I say? I'm forgiven ... but, yes, I worked hard for it," he told reporter Clemmie Moodie on Sunday at the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar-watching party. (USA Today)

This is a nice quality replacement for the Ruger 10/22 take down stock, sturdy like the original. You can definitely feel the weight difference when you put it on.
The Stock itself is about 2" shorter than the standard stock that comes with the 10/22, so adding the 1" butt pad helps with the size. If you have arms like a T-Rex you're fine, but I felt the extra 1" really helped with the feel of it.
Overall really impressed by it.
Posted by Ham on 19th May 2014
Overall fit and finish are very good. The pistol grip makes fitting it into the factory Ruger storage bag very tight, had to remove any optics to get it to fit. If you intend to carry it in a generic backpack it will fit fine of course. The folding stock locks up tight. I also recommend the 1" butt pad to add some length of pull.
Posted by Danny on 27th Mar 2014
Only had for a week. Fit is excellent and very easy to install. Took it to the range and it seems to work very well. Really like folding capability. Do yourself a favor and get the 1" butt pad. Not needed for recoil but it adds a little length to it. Highly recommend.
Posted by Holly on 11th Mar 2014
I am small and the 10/22 fits me much better with the new AGP stock. Stock is very easy to install. Regretted not ordering the butt pad. Bought it several weeks later and am happy with it also.
Posted by tj on 20th Feb 2014
Excellent stock on the 10/22 takedown. Slight decrease in weight, shorter length of pull, co.pact. stock locks up very sturdy. Excellent customer service

County Attorney Gets Flack for Self-Promotion
Posted Dec 17, 2007 4:33 PM CDT
By Molly McDonough
The county attorney in Phoenix has spent more than $2.5 million in public money on public service announcements since taking office three years ago.
That may not raise eyebrows, except that Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas is in almost every ad, the East Valley Tribune reports.
The presence of Thomas in the ads has critics asserting he's using the spots—which include anti-drug, anti-drunken driving and anti-truancy messages—for political gain.
The paper notes that in his first year, Thomas spent $314,000 on an identity-theft campaign. The next year, the amount spiked to $780,000. In 2007 and leading up to the 2008 election, PSA spending has "risen sharply," the paper reports, noting that: "Of the $1.6 million spent on ads this year, $1.4 million was spent in or committed for the last quarter of 2007."
A spokesman for the county attorney's office remained unapologetic.
