Principles of Colour
Our visual system does more than provide us with an image of the world. An image may contain an array of light and dark areas, but which of these areas represent shadows, and which represent dark-coloured objects? Does a red area in the image represent a red object in white light, or a white object in red light? Is a particularly bright point in the image a light-coloured surface, or a light source? To separate the effects of lighting and surface colour, the image must be interpreted. Since we normally experience objects as having definite colours without having to make a conscious effort of interpretation, it follows that this interpretation must be occurring subconsciously as part of the processing of the image by our visual system. This feature of our visual system allows us to recognize without conscious effort the local colour of objects under lights of differing hue, brightness, and saturation, a capability referred to as colour constancy.
Colour constancy is never more than partial. Under weakly to moderately strongly coloured illuminants, an array of surface colours may approximately maintain their perceived hues, but changes in apparent lightness in relation to each other are inevitable (see Figure 10.8, slider near middle of scale). Colours close to the hue of the illuminant tend to appear relatively lighter; dissimilar hues tend to appear darker. The effect however depends on the exact spectral power distributions both of the illuminants and of the surfaces. Two surfaces that match under a white light may not match under a coloured light, or even under another white light with a different spectral power distribution, a phenomenon known as metamerism. These factors naturally play havoc with the tonal scheme of a painting, which is why paintings should if possible always be executed under similar lighting conditions to those under which they will be viewed.
Adaptation to the colour of a light source, which modifies the data provided by the eye by adjusting the relative sensitivities of the three cone types, should not be confused with this process of interpreting that data into illuminant and surface colour. Adaptation to the colour of weakly to moderately strongly coloured light sources assists the process of interpreting surface colour by boosting the available information on colour differences, while causing us to underestimate the strength of colour of the illuminant. Surfaces under a monochromatic light, however, can convey no information on differences in hue and chroma to the eye, and so differ visibly only in lightness (see Figure 10.8, slider at right end of scale).
Given its ability to automatically interpret surface colour for us, we can infer that our visual system must in some way be making a judgement as to what a white surface would look like in any part of the visual field, and judging all colours by comparison with this white. A surfaces giving off light whose brightness is consistent with being the result of diffuse reflection is seen thus as coloured surface having a greater or lesser degree of "greyness". A colour that is too bright, compared to this inferred white surface, to be the result of diffuse reflection is seen either as a fluorescent surface, an independent light, or a specular reflection of an independent light. Evans (1974) suggested the term brilliance for this scale of appearance, and used the term zero grey point for the point where colours exhibit neither greyness nor fluorescence/luminescence. I argue here that in a digital image, all colours having the same relative brightness ("B" in HSB) as a white surface at the same location will be seen as having zero greyness.
Several dramatic optical illusions demonstrate colour constancy in action. In the checkerboard illusion by Edward Adelson's (Figure 3.6A), the two squares marked A and B are actually identical in lightness on the image (i.e. they are the same grey), but our visual system calculates that in a shadow area this grey must belong to a white surface, while in the lit area the same grey must belong to a dark surface, and that is how we see them. In the same way, in the cube illusion by R. Beau Lotto (Figure 3.6B), our visual system sees the same image colour as being dark brown in the context of strong lighting, and light orange where the same image colour appears in a deeply shaded context. In the cross-piece illusion , also by Lotto (Figure 3.6C), the colour at the intersection of the two rods is actually an identical colour (grey) in both cases, but in the context of apparently yellow illumination on the left and blue illumination on the right, this is judged, and seen, to be the reflectance of a blue-grey object and a yellow object respectively.
Figure 3.6. Three optical illusions demonstrating colour constancy in action (follow links for larger images). A. The checkerboard illusion of Edward Adelson. B. The cube illusion of R. Beau Lotto. C. The cross-piece illusion of R . Beau Lotto
In each case these comparisons are made unconsciously, and what we see in our normal way of looking is the inferred local colour. Tonal painters have to learn above all to look at their subjects with a different attitude to normal viewing, in order to judge objectively the hue, "colorfulness", and brightness of the light coming to from each point in the subject. That is, we have to switch off one kind of processing - one that is built into our visual system, wherein each colour is compared with an inferred white - and learn a completely different kind of processing, where each colour is compared with the full range of colours in subject as a whole. With practice we can learn to switch at will between this painter's way of seeing and our normal mode of vision. But we always need to be on guard against the tendency to slip into judging colours in constancy mode, that is, to paint their perceived local colour, instead of the colour that we need to create the illusion of that colour. The problem is very similar to the difficulties encountered in foreshortening in drawing, where we also need to learn to see and draw what is actually in front of our eyes, and not what our brain works out for us.
At this point the beginning painter might ask: "well, if that's the way it looks to my eyes, shouldn't I paint it that way?" The answer to this is a definite no - if we can recreate the stimulus that created the appearance, we will create the effect the we see in our subject; if we instead chase the appearance, we will create something different.
Certain mechanical tricks or devices that are sometimes recommended to students for observing colour objectively can be workable, but most have serious difficulties and limitations. For example, the idea that you can hold up paint on a brush, palette knife or other device and match it with your subject is in general workable only if you have some way of turning up the illumination on your brush until you can match the brightest highlight on your subject with the tone of your paint, and can keep the illumination at the same level while you compare the other colours. (One teacher currently advertising such a method on the internet seems to get around this problem by having his students paint only dimly lit subjects). These methods of course also eliminate any option of translating the tonal range of the subject into a your own choice of tonal level and range in your painting. Devices involving an aperture in a card that bears a greyscale or colour chips for comparison suffer from the same difficulties and limitations, and in addition run the risk of giving an excessive impression of the brightness and "colorfulness" of colours seen in isolation, which can be avoided only if the colours are continually compared with the brightest colours in the subject. The latter comparison can be made very effectively however by using a blank card with two apertures, which can be moved towards or away from the observer in order to compare more and less separated points.

Already in this young offseason, or golf season for the Leafs, Brian Burke has already instituted several signings that can be broken down into categories for defense and goaltending.
I will address the goaltending situation first. As of May 29th, 2010 the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed two very raw yet talented goaltenders; Jussi Rynnas and Ben Scrivens. Through these signings, the Leafs are now the proud owners of four youthful goaltenders (James Reimer, Jussi Rynnas, Ben Scrivens and Jonas Gustavsson) with the oldest being Jonas Gustavsson at 25. Four young goaltenders is the number that NHL General Managers predominantly prefer to work with. This is because it allows for considerable depth and flexibility regarding the goaltending position. Unless his worrisome heart problems return, Jonas Gustavsson should become the established # 1 for the Leafs. But given this, it is likely that Jussi Rynnas or Ben Scrivens will have to battle with each other for the position of back-up goalie. Through this, two goalies are left. One destined to become a perennial AHL locked goalie with the odd end of a lackluster season call up while the other will serve as minor trade bait or a "toss-in" for a more significant trade. Although it is unlikely that the recently signed goalies amount to anything significant, do not count them out just yet. Jussi Rynnas both heir from reputable hockey organizations in Assat Pori and Cornell university. Consequently, they are hard-nosed, tenacious and will keep Jonas Gustavsson looking over his shoulder in fear that they might steal a job that was once perceived to be his from underneath him. Moreover, what is most interesting about Jussi Rynnas is that he was the most pursued free-agent goaltender after posting an impressive 2.50 GAA and a 0.929 SV% in a country (Finland) that is known for being a "goaltending factory" (Examples being: Mikka Kiprusoff, Niklas Bäckström, Tuukka Raskand most recently Antti Niemi).
In terms of defense, the Toronto Maple Leafs reported on Thursday May 28, 2010 that they have signed 22-year old German defender, Korbinian Holzer to a two-year entry level contract after previously drafting him in the fourth round, 111th overall in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft. Korbinian has shown great progress during his tenure with the DEG Metro Stars of the German Elite League (DEL) where he recorded career high's in nearly every possible statistical category as well as in his international play with the German national team in which he participated in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and was a pivotal cornerstone in Germany's unexpected run to the Bronze Medal Round of the 2010 World Hockey Championships. Next season, Holzer will likely spend the duration of the season with the Toronto Maple Leaf's AHL (American Hockey League) affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, for the purposes of allowing him to make the necessary adjustments to the North American style of play. Furthermore, Holzer possesses at 6'3 but his lanky form at 190 lbs will need some filling out. He has apparent offensive upside after recording 22 points in 52 games but his defense is what draws the eyes of scouts. Dave Nonis, the Leafs senior vice-president of hockey operations commented, "But it was a big step to make the Olympic team. He played well in Vancouver and had an excellent finish at the world championships. He makes a good first pass and has made excellent improvements."
In conclusion, there is obvious depth that has been added to not only the Leafs goaltending but also to the Leafs defense-core. If one thing can be said, next year will be very interesting for the Toronto Maple Leafs as they are beginning to develop a strong, young group of talent that appears to be able to provide the return on investment that Brian Burke seeks, the creation of a Playoff team.

When Wiggins was a young child, he had San Diego Padres sheets. Wiggins doesn't know where his mom bought the sheets from way back in the day, but he does know that they were pretty awesome. So awesome, in fact, that Wiggins had to beat up a kid who tried to steal the sheets from his house one day when they were supposed to be having an afterschool get together to play Mike Tyson's Punch Out and the kid went to "use the bathroom" only to be discovered stuffing Wiggins' sheets into his backpack. Wiggins don't play that.
Wiggins recently found these sheets and put them on his bed. So many years of memories came rushing back to Wiggins. Welcome back, old friends.
Today Wiggins met a girl at a bar. Well, Wiggins will admit that she was only "beer goggles pretty." In fact, she was kind of ugly, Wiggins supposes. And she wasn't a girl but a kind of lonely older lady. But that's okay. She was not bad for being about 50 years old. And not bad for being the type of lady who would hang out at a bar in the middle of the day and go home with a guy she doesn't know. She must have thought Wiggins was quite the man because before Wiggins knew what was happening, he was enjoying plenty of cushion for the pushin' on those old sheets.
The sheets are adorned with a repeating pattern of a brown Padres logo and Wiggins kind of forgot he was in the middle of sex a couple times, fondly remembering all the times he slept on those sheets after listening to or watching a Padres baseball game.
Can Wiggins get the roof raised for breaking his 3-year sexless streak in true Padres fashion? And better yet, Wiggins got her phone number. She wants to continue to hang out and have Padres sheets sex with Wiggins. Can this day get any better? Could this be love?

Turkel: Flotilla raid in accordance with int'l law
By DAN IZENBERG
First part of c'tee report says actions carried out by IDF to enforce Gaza naval blockade had regrettable consequences of loss of human life.

The four Israeli members and two international observers who comprised the Turkel Commission agreed that both the naval blockade and the closure of the overland crossings after Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip had been legal.
Opinon: The Turkey vs Iran flotilla race
My Word: Flotilla show time
"The naval blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip – in view of the security circumstances and Israel's efforts to comply with its humanitarian obligations – was legal pursuant to the rules of international law," the committee wrote in its concluding remarks.
"The actions carried out by Israel on May 31, 2010, to enforce the naval blockade had the regrettable consequences of the loss of human life and physical injuries," the panel said, of the raid that resulted in the deaths of nine Turkish nationals aboard the
Mavi Marmara
"Nonetheless, and despite the limited number of uses of force for which we could not reach a conclusion, the actions taken were found to be legal pursuant to the rules of international law."
The findings, however, were unlikely to put to rest the international controversy over the raid, which badly damaged its relations with Turkey. The condemnation that followed the raid forced Israel to ease the blockade on the Gaza Strip.
Turkey recalled its ambassador to Israel after the incident and ties between the countries have not recovered. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan promptly dismissed the Turkel conclusions.
The commission, officially known as the Public Commission to Examine the Maritime Incident of May 31, 2010, released the first of two scheduled reports on Sunday. Commission spokesman Ofer Lefler explained that each report deals with separate questions that the government asked the members of the panel to investigate, and said that each of them would be final.
The first report addressed the following matters:
• The question of whether or not the naval blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip by Israel conformed with the rules of international law.
• An assessment of the actions taken by the IDF to enforce the naval blockade.
• An examination of the actions taken by the organizers of the flotilla and its participants and their identity.
The commission was established in accordance with a government decision handed down on June 14, 2010. The decision was made in response to worldwide demands for an international investigation into the May 31 incident, in which nine Turkish passengers were killed and dozens wounded, and nine Israeli soldiers were also wounded.
Israel's critics also charged that the naval embargo and the restrictions imposed by Israel on the overland crossings between Israel and the Gaza Strip were also illegal.
As part of its general policy, Israel refused to allow anyone except the IDF to question soldiers regarding their activities and therefore refused all demands for an international investigation. However, because of US pressure, it agreed to conduct its own probe, headed by a retired Supreme Court justice.
It also agreed to add two international observers to the panel, who would have the right to hear and question witnesses and would be given full access to the written material presented to the commission members.
The Israeli members of the commission included Turkel, international law expert Shabtai Rosenne, Maj.-Gen. (Ret.) Amos Horev, Tel Aviv University law professor Miguel Deutch and retired Foreign Ministry director-general Reuven Merhav.
The two observers were Lord David Trimble of Ireland and Brig.-Gen. (Ret.) Kenneth Watkin of Canada.
Rosenne, who was 93, died in the midst of the hearings and was not replaced. However, the committee contracted the services of two foreign international law experts, Prof. Wolf Heintschel von Heinegg and Prof. Michael Schmitt.
The commission members divided the report into two sections, the first dealing with the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip and the second with the operation to capture the
Mavi Marmara
Regarding the first question, the commission found that: • The conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip is an international armed conflict.
• Israel's "effective control" of the Gaza Strip ended when the disengagement was completed.
• The purpose of the naval blockade imposed by Israel on the Gaza Strip was primarily a military- security one.
• The naval blockade was imposed on the Gaza Strip lawfully, with Israel complying with the conditions for imposing it.
• Israel is complying with the humanitarian obligations imposed on the blockading party, including the prohibition of starving the civilian population or preventing the supply of objects essential for the survival of the civilian population and medical supplies, and the requirement that the damage to the civilian population is not excessive in relation to the concrete and direct military advantage anticipated from the blockade.
• The imposition and enforcement of the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip does not constitute "collective punishment" of the population of the Gaza Strip.
• International law does not give individuals or groups the freedom to ignore the imposition of a naval blockade that satisfies the conditions for imposing it and that is enforced accordingly, especially where a blockade satisfies obligations to neutral parties, merely because in the opinion of those individuals or groups it violates the duties of the party imposing the blockade vis-à-vis the entity subject to the blockade.
Regarding the legality of the raid itself, the commission reached the following conclusions:
• A vessel that attempts to breach a blockade is subject to international law governing the conduct of hostilities, and international humanitarian law, including the rules governing the use of force.
• The Israeli armed forces' interception and capture of the Gaza flotilla vessels – including having the Shayetet 13 naval commandoes board from the Morena speedboats and fastrope from a helicopter onto the roof of the vessels – was consistent with established international naval practice.
• The participants in the flotilla were predominantly an international group of civilians whose main goal was to bring publicity to the humanitarian situation in Gaza by attempting to breach the blockade imposed by Israel.
• On board the
Mavi Marmara
and the other flotilla vessels was a group of IHH and affiliated activists (the IHH activists) that violently opposed the Israeli boarding. The IHH activists who participated in that violence were civilians taking a direct part in hostilities.
• The force used against civilians on board the flotilla was governed by the principles of "necessity" and use of "proportionate force" associated with human rights-based law enforcement norms. The IHH activists lost the protection of their civilian status for such time as they directly participated in the hostilities. The use of force against these direct participants in hostilities is governed by the applicable rules of international humanitarian law.
• The Rules of Engagement for the operation provided an authority to use force that reflected the nature of a law- enforcement operation.
• The IHH activists carried out the violence on board the
Mavi Marmara
by arming themselves with a wide array of weapons, including iron bars, axes, clubs, slingshots, knives, and metal objects. These were weapons capable of causing death or serious injury. Further, the hostilities were conducted in an organized manner with IHH activists, inter alia, operating in groups when violently assaulting the IDF soldiers.
• The IHH activists used firearms against the IDF soldiers during the hostilities The Commission examined 133 incidents in which force was used. The majority of the uses of force involved warning or deterring fire and less-lethal weapons.
Overall, the IDF personnel acted professionally in the faces of extensive and unanticipated violence, the panel found. This included continuing to switch back and forth between less-lethal and lethal weapons in order to address the nature of the violence directed at them.
The commission concluded that in 127 cases, the use of force appeared to be in conformity with international law.
In six cases, the commission concluded that it had insufficient information to be able to make a determination.
Three out of those six cases involved the use of live fire and three cases involved physical force; two incidents of kicking and one strike with the butt of a gun.
In five out of the 127 incidents that appeared to be in conformity with international law, there was insufficient evidence to conclude that the use of force was also in accordance with law enforcement norms. However, in these cases, force appeared to be used against persons taking a direct part in hostilities and, as a consequence, was in conformity with international law.
The planning and organization of the IDF mission to enforce the blockade did not include anticipation that there would be a violent opposition to the boarding, which had a direct impact on the operational tactics, rules of engagement, and training before the operation.
However, the focus of the planning and organization of the operation on a lower level of resistance did not lead to a breach of international law, the commission said.

Cadge Earns CCSA Swimmer of the Week Honor
FORT MYERS, Fla. - After her season-best performances against Florida State and Miami, FGCU swimming junior Vicky Cadge (Long Melford, Suffolk, United Kingdom/Kelly College) earned the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association (CCSA) Women's Swimmer of the Week award.
This is the second time this season that Cadge has been honored and the third time an Eagle swimmer has picked up the award out of possible four weeks. Classmate Alessandra Cianci (Plantation, Fla./St. Thomas Aquinas) also picked up the award on October 11.
Cadge won the 200 breast (2:18.33) and the 200 IM (2:03.95), while picking up second in the 100 back with a season-best time of 56.72 to beat out swimmers from ACC foes Florida State and Miami last Saturday. Cadge shaved two seconds off of her season-best 200 IM time previously set against FAU on Oct 9. In the 200 breast, Cadge finished with a time of 2:18.33, taking a full nine seconds off of her previous fastest time.
The Blue and Green are back in the pool on Friday, October 29 as they host FIU in their first home meet of the season. The meet is set to begin at 6 p.m. at the FGCU Aquatics Center.

well I spent the time
Just spent a good deal of time writing this answer to another post...thought I'd put it here too.
I'm a photographer but to make ends meet, I operate an estate managment company and with this come a good number of clients that have found old film in a persons belongings after a death. I've become a bit of an expert I think. This is my experience.......
Rocky Mountain is very slow (6 months to a year and a half), expensive and do little beyond processing your film in a developer that would have been appropriate for the time period but does little to compensate for the age of the film. Prints are then made on a mini-lab onto conventional color RA4 paper. You pay full price regardless of the results. They do seem to have the experience but it seems like they really don't give a damn. Though the most popular and the most recommended of all the places doing this work they are best avoided.
Process C-22 is run by an individual who is competent and truely seems to enjoy his work and have concern over what type of product he puts out. The turn-around time is not fast but hey....do you really need a fast turn-around on film that is 40 years old. Most film is developed in a developer that renders a B&W negative regardless if it is a color film or not. This is an appropriate approach with undeveloped vintage film as the silver content that is normally bleached from a color film is far more resilient over time then the color dye image. All work is scanned from the negative and digitally enhanced before it is printed. Your will pay for development regardless of results though you will not be charged the scanning and printing fee. Seems fair enough to me. Beyond the fact he's overseas he's an excellent option.
Rapid Photo. They're name is correct. Of all the places offering this service they are the fastest though by experience not as fast as they claim. The folks here seem competent enough and the phone service is good. If they are unable to salvage anything from your film you will be charged the developing price only. What I do like about thier service is that you pay only for the prints that they do. What I don't like is that if you pay by check the full price, assuming all of the pictures worked out getting a refund for the difference is unwieldy. They do include a cd along with prints but this cd is scanned from the print and not from the film. Much improvement can be made in the digital realm to these distressed images so this is an unfortunate approach. If you need your film back quickly this is the place to go to. I would recommend process only and then plan to take the time to do your own scanning (contrary to their claim that scanners will not scan negatives of this density...most can) so you can do some very necessary corrections before you output to paper.
Film Rescue is the most expensive of all of the above but in this case you do pay for what you get. They are moderately slow (6 to 9 weeks) but do tend to deliver about on time. As mentioned, you will pay more here then anywhere else but you will pay nothing if they are unable to salvage recognizable pictures from your film. Sounds like good motivation to do it right. I also like that if your film is bordline to the point the images may not be recognizable they do call to consult if you want to proceed with the digital work. If you say no then....no charge. Your recieve back prints, negatives and digital files on CD-r. The price includes age appropriate development, scanning from the negative, digital corrections and return postage though with the price that they charge I don't think including the postage is that big of deal. If you want Cadilac service and the film is important to you then this is the way to go....that does come with a price though.

Hello All,
Are any MMF extension plugins(support) available for Symbian 3rd edi FP1.??
It is available for Symbian MR (Symbian 9.1), - "Extensions_plugin_S60_3rd_ed.exe".
Can I use this extension plugin with Symbian 3rd edi FP1(Symbian 9.2)??
Also my project requirement is to use RTP stack provided by symbian.
RTP stack is present in Symbian 3rd edi FP1 and not in Symbian 3rd edi MR version. (Nokia has removed the rtp support from Symbian 9.1 OS)
After using MMF plugin of "Symbian 3rd edi MR" in Symbian 9.2 OS, I get runtime error
"The ordinal 182 could not be located in the dynamic link library mmfcontrollerFramework.dll"
How do I use RTP stack and MMF extension plugin together in Symbian 3rd edi FP1???
Any help is appreciated!!
Thanks and Regards,

CABIN: This was also a test, as I booked an inside cabin on the highest deck (Verandah) which accommodated very few passengers, and was located above the officer's quarters (which I hoped would create a quiet experience, and it was!!). It would also put me close to all deck activities, and quick stair access to the busy Promenade. I've done inside cabins on several occasions, so that was not an issue at all, but won't be doing the upper deck in the future. Laws of Physics tell you that if the ship is rocking quite a bit, then for every inch you tilt on the lower levels, you multiply that the higher you go. This was definitely a cruise to test that math. Cabin steward was terrific throughout, and everything in the cabin worked perfectly. Though it was humorous that first day, I did feel sorry for a fellow Verandite who had booked the very forward suite and assumed her balcony would be private. Apparently she threw open the drapes, naked as the day she was born, and found numerous passengers just a few feet away on the bridge balcony waiting for the sail-away. While up there you have a very clear view of every single Verandah exterior. Guess not all shows take place in the theatre.
DINING & SERVICE: The service for my table (Mardi Gras Room) was perfect throughout, and I would not have changed a thing. Head waiter and assistant were on top of everything every night. My dining partners started as strangers, and ended as friends. Most memorable was the grouper (delicious beyond words), a mushroom starter, and the chocolate melting cake. There was nothing I didn't finish, unless I was too full. My sincere kudos to George The Greek for running a great food & beverage team. The Lido buffet/grill was also well run, and that 24-hour pizza always comes in handy on a cruise.
ACTIVITIES: Most of the deck events were either canceled, modified, or moved indoors. The pool was closed almost the entire voyage (unless we were docked), which really didn't affect me, but I certainly missed seeing any sun whatsoever. Hard to explain on return how you went on a cruise and got zero tan. The casino was run very well, and was usually busy since people weren't on the upper decks at all. Won me a ship-on-a-stick doing trivia one day, and also attended most of the art auctions (ended up buying two pieces), as well as entering the slot tournament (sucked big time on that one). Despite many things having to be rearranged, I still think there was quite a bit for us all to do. The Promenade bars were always active at night, and all passengers seemed to be enjoying their time there. The shops were organized and well-run in my opinion. It was fun to overhear comments from passengers who couldn't figure out how one crew member just seemed to be every place they went. They were a set of identical twins!! Also, there were 470 children onboard, and I applaud Camp Carnival for keeping them occupied throughout the voyage. It was never really an issue at all.
WEATHER/ULP URP: The weather as definitely yucky, and I feel that CCL did its absolute best to make the most of the situation. Ship was rockin and rollin beginning that very first night, and passengers were having their balance and stomachs tested in many ways. Barf bags were put up at all elevators and all restaurant entrances, as well as on end tables throughout busy traffic areas. Despite being 99.9% certain that illness was completed due to rough seas, the staff took no chance of possible virus, and began to clean the entire ship (and I do mean absolutely everything that is routinely touched). Big kudos to Inspiration for that effort!! When I went up to get some 2:00 pizza it was tough to make it through all the chairs. Three steps forward, two at an angle and then a quick crossover in the opposite direction grab a chair for balance, and then start over. I had just gotten my pizza when the young lady behind me cried, Quick, hold my hair!! I turned to see a perfectly choreographed move as her husband grabbed her hair, and she bent forward to complete the ultimate ulp urp. Staff showed up immediately to begin cleaning, and I just put my pizza on the nearest table. Appetite suddenly went away, it seems. Was basically the same scenario on formal night when the woman in the fancy blue dress suddenly bent at her waist. Unfortunately the frilly ascot piece on the front went forward as well. Eww! There was also something I'd not witnessed before and I saw it happened twice. Someone lost their balance in the casino and got some of their beverage on the felt tables. There is a huge procedure that has to take place when that happens. Multiple casino staffers clean every card, chip, and piece of equipment that has a drop on it. Pretty much stops the flow of play for several minutes.
Weather also became a major factor in shore excursions. Many of the Grand Cayman tours were completely cancelled. Others that did take place were pretty much a loss (with people soaked to their undies by days end). The local restaurants made out well, though, as people could eat and drink (emphasis on the drinking) and stay rather dry. I did Margaritaville again, and enjoyed myself. Calica is nothing but a big rock quarry, and if you want to do anything, you have to go several miles away. My excursion (Beach Break) was not cancelled though in reality it was!! Sat on a restaurant patio for the majority of the time because of the rain. But when it did stop briefly, I was able to get out and take some nice photos. On return to the ship, there was one of the most beautiful rainbows that I've seen in my lifetime. When I heard quite a few crew members saying it was the best they'd seen as well, I knew I needed to attempt as many pictures as possible. Tough to do in the hard mist that was falling, but most came out very well.
DEBARKATION: Not really smooth at all, but since I didn't have an early flight or schedule to keep, it really didn't faze me, but there was grumbling going on in a BIG way. I have to admit that the information being given didn't reflect reality much at all. Each crew area seemed to be winging it, and probably not the best audience to try that with (since many had been pushed to the limit for several days). Not surprisingly, they biggest grumblers were those passengers who had been so vocally negative since Day 1. Too bad the ship didn't ever reach quite enough tilt to send them into the drink.
TOTAL EXPERIENCE: Despite it being the worst weather I'd experienced for an entire cruise, it was not the worst experience with a rocking ship (Sovereign of the Seas got that gold medal several years ago when I sailed her with a broken stabilizer -- the ship, not me). And I absolutely had a fun time while onboard Inspiration. True, I spent more time in my cabin than usual, but there were some great movies playing that I'd not yet seen, so that was a great way to fill part of the day. For me the food was above expectations, and my cabin steward kept my surroundings in top shape. The ship was spotless (though you can see some age), and I'd sail Inspiration again with no bad feelings about this past voyage. And I should also add that the holiday decorations throughout the ship really made things look festive (including those huge hanging banners in the atrium that swung like a pendulum throughout the cruise). I absolutely give Inspiration Thumbs Up.

#89 and Greg Olsen are obviously our primary, and most reliable receiving targets. Smitty is still a serious vertical threat (albeit not quite the guy he was 5-10 years ago), as is Olsen as far as TE's are concerned.. but when was the last time we had a downfield threat with Ginn's pure speed and explosiveness?
Even if "his hands are suspect," which by all indications thus far in camp has perhaps been an unfair criticism, his speed alone is going to demand that at least one safety on opposing defenses respects his abilti to get 30-40 yards down the field in a flash. The result? One less safety to stack the box or cover intermediate routes. So in theory, his mere presence helps the run game and can open up even more passing lanes for Olsen and Smitty to exploit.
So why hasn't Ginn fulfilled this role at any other point of his career, and why would it be any different in Carolina?
Two words: Cam Newton.
Cam's arm strength makes every other QB Ginn has played with look like a 7-year-old. Which isn't really a stretch considering we're talking about guys like Chad Pennington, Chad Henne, and Alex Smith.
Explosive speed on the outside + Zeus-like arm strength = a MUCH larger area a defense has to cover. It's science.

September 2 2014 Latest news:
Sam Blewett, Reporter
Wednesday, January 22, 2014
Applause met the decision to oppose enforcement of a u-turn ban in Clayhall Avenue, Goodmayes, after it was noted that some people got up to four driving tickets a day there and councillors too were guilty of making the turn.
Despite the road in question not falling in the committee's area it was debated due to its impact on Roding ward residents particularly those of Hill Farm estate.
Cllr Deakins said: "Two years ago the council decided to enforce the u-turn ban and a phenomenal number of people got tickets, some into the treble figures."
She pointed out that no accidents have occurred at this spot.
She said: "Transport for London are looking at whether a roundabout could be put there. Until they do that it would be folly to ban this."
Cllr Ian Bond (Liberal Democrat, Roding) said: "We do the u-turn ourselves when we visit those at the estate and when the council decided to ban this some got three or four tickets a day.
"For that reason it would be silly to have a ban."
Previously area committee four agreed that the u-turn ban should be enforced but areas three and four would be consulted.
The councillors voted seven to four in favour of opposing the ban.

Calling all cyclists - this weekend is your chance to spin for a cause. The Charlottesville Racing Club is hosting a Spin-A-Thon to raise money to make sure every child who wants a bike gets one during the holidays.
It is hoping to get as many six-rider teams to spin for 12 hours Saturday at Fry's Spring Station. Each rider will donate $50 which is enough to buy a bike.
"With this Spin-A-Thon, through our participants raising money, through our sponsors raising money, we're going to try to bridge that gap and make sure every kid in Charlottesville that wants a bike this holiday season gets one," said Charlottesville Racing Club President Alan Bewely.
The event's sponsors - Devils Backbone Brewing Company, Shenandoah Joe's, Fry's Spring Station and Blue Ridge Cyclery - are all donating to the cause. Click here for more information on how to sign up.

Elementary School Bullying
While bullying may be a common part of growing up, don't take a wait-and-see approach, assuming children will work it out over time. Bullying can leave lifelong emotional scars.
"Parents should act quickly and be proactive in stopping the bullying actions regardless of what form they take -- verbal or physical," says Keith Vitali, martial arts expert and actor turned child activist. He is the author of the forthcoming book "Bully Proofing Your Child."
If your child reports being bullied, first console her with the assurance that it's not her fault, but that of the bully who has control issues. Next, find out if the bullying is verbal or physical. If it's taking place at school or on the bus, contact your child's teacher, principal, or bus driver and get them involved. Notify the parents of the bully.
If your child is called out as a bully, teach her empathy by asking her to picture herself in the other child's shoes. Making your child apologize to the victim in your presence can be the most memorable and effective punishment, while helping heal the relationship between the two children.
You can also teach your child skills at home that will come in handy on the playground. "How children project themselves when approached by a bully makes a critical difference," says Vitali.
Positive body language is the first defense against an aggressive individual -- teach your child to stand tall and confidently. Role-play standing toe-to-toe with your child, pretending you are a bully. Teach your child to look a bully right in the eye and say, "Stop it!" and "Leave me alone!" Assure your child that it's okay to feel scared when confronting a bully but that she needs to appear confident on the outside.
Telling your child to fight the bully sends the wrong message and isn't fair to her, but you might consider enrolling her in a martial arts or self-defense program to help build confidence. The assuredness that follows may be what's needed to keep bullies at bay.

A graduate student at Middle Tennessee State University is in need of community support to help her win a new wheelchair accessible van.
Jennifer Austin, 26, was involved in a hit and run accident on Interstate 24 in 2006.
"A red SUV continued to swerve into my lane and finally hit my back end, and I instantly spun into the median and flipped several times, and I was ejected within the first flip they believe. Unfortunately, the driver did not stop," Austin told Nashville's News 2.
At 20 years old, Austin's life changed in a matter of seconds.
She sustained major injuries that left her a quadriplegic and in a wheelchair.
"I have physical limitations, but I am still the same person," Austin said. "One thing that the accident did take from me is my independence, and that's what I'm so desperately trying to gain back."
Now, a nationwide contest may finally be able to give Austin some of that independence back.
The National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association, a non-profit organization that supports people with disabilities, is hosting a contest to help those in need of a new wheelchair accessible vehicle.
The person with the most votes will advance to the next round, in which judges will award the new van based on need.
Austin hopes the community will support her in her efforts.
"My van is old, and we're always constantly finding new problems. Everyday it's something different. Winning a brand new wheelchair accessible van would be life changing for me," Austin said. "It would really open up so many opportunities. It would allow me to drive again."
Being able to drive would make Austin able to get a job after she graduates.
"That's why I went back to school, and that's why this contest is so important for me, because of the possibilities it would give me," Austin said.

Would you be willing to change your legal name to Bloodhound Realty?
Your first question is probably "what will you pay me" followed by "wait, what?" According to Mashable.com, a web developer short on cash has decided to auction off the rights to have his name legally changed to the name of the highest bidding company (most people sweat over providing a product or a service, but this guy is genius). This process will land him in the Guinness Book of World Records along with the highest bidder- talk about exposure! Leave it to a dude in cargo shorts and a wrinkled screen T to create a brilliant marketing plan- he's pimpin' out his own name!
This leads me to ask three things:
(1) Do you have a way to market yourself, your product or your services that is more unique than your competitors (or more unique than ANYONE for that matter)? Cargo shorts dude certainly did and his ingenuity will likely pay his bills while he's chillin' in the blogiverse (you know he's got to be a blogger) in his La-Z-Boy!
(2) Here in Austin several Realtors have actually changed their names- not after their brokerages, but perhaps to look cute on a business card. There are several ladies who have changed their names to the likes of Sunny Happy Day (who is really named this, is a friend of my mother's, but not a Realtor). Too cheap for lipo or implants? Change your name! Would YOU do this for business? I'm thinking of changing mine to Snarky Chick Anglin…
(3) What's your guess for his highest bidder? Can you imagine meeting a guy at a party and him saying "Hi, my name is Cola. Coca Cola." Or, "what's up, I'm Banana Republic!" "Thank you for calling, this is Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, how may I direct your call?" Share your ideas for funny brand names that could end up simultaneously making this dude rich while scarring him.
Comments are encouraged!

What do you think?
Lani Anglin August 28th, 2007 8:08 pm
It reeks of desperation like selling the rights of your name, it would get people talking… it just might work, Vicki!!

CI Host paid a guy a few years ago for a tattoo on his head (pic here – http://www.carrierhotels.com/news/April2003/humanbillboard1.jpg )
Word is CI Host got 800 clients out of it
Cost them $10,000 – worth it?

Interesting. This very evening as I was daydreaming away in broker's classes I thought about changing my name to "Phoenix Guy", middle name Real Estate of course. I thought it would be cool when the instructor called out and said "Is Phoenix Real Estate Guy here?"
"Amazon" would be a cool name. Just one word, like Cher. Or Madonna.

Hey Lani -
What if it's not really a guy named Stan Oleynick but instead it's a certain web geek (who also lives in Sacramento) who no longer has an income producing website?
Casey Serin – How twisted would that be?
I checked the Whois but that didn't prove it one way or the other.
Lani Anglin August 29th, 2007 6:40 am
HA- what a thought; you're a regular sleuth, Mike!
And Jay, I have no doubt you'd wander into a government building some day to randomly have that changed- be sure to first tell your wife that her name is changing to "Guy."
Steve, that's actually pretty cool! It reminds me of the college kids who rented out their car as a billboard which was minorly successful but nowhere near tattoo head…
BR August 29th, 2007 7:09 am
Well, to bad for this guy if the highest bidder is a plumber. His new new name could end up being "Ron's Ceptic Tanks."
I've always been a big fan of sponsoring streets, & kid sports teams. Selling your name is nothing new, but for a neighborhood specialist, lending your great name (and some cash) to a local school stadium would be cool- "Greg Swann Memorial Stadium"
I've personally wanted to approach our city and ask to sponsor a section of the park. Offer clean-up, use it to sponsor cool things in the park like blood drives, 4th of july ice cream parties, and maybe offer wireless internet with a cool splash page about you and your park. I've often wondered why more corporate sponsors do not do this already. What great PR and very inexpensive.
Another thing you could pimp out is in your neighborhood, offer free wireless with splash named after your street (from your house). What a cool way to remind your nighbors day after day that you're the specialist of your neighborhood (works best with a range booster). Put a picture of your home on the splash and offer a day of the week to offer an open house to your home- an ask your realtor session. We do this from our offices now, and it works great. Since starting it in January we've had about 3 calls from the apartments across the street and several from our business neighbors.
Theres lots of things you could pimp out if you're afraid to pimp your name…

Experts say this has been worst year for frozen pipes in 20 years.
Gary Eby of Eby Plumbing says they've been incredibly busy. At times, day and night since the last cold snap.
Pipes break when they freeze, and they are seeing a lot of that. Frozen pipes in homes and frozen pipes in strip malls where there's one vacant storefront in the middle that owners wouldn't normally heat.
The repairs can quickly become costly.
So here's what you should keep in mind: "Insulate the pipes with pipe insulation and try to have heat in the area they are at," says Eby.
Eby says heat tape helps as well as keeping a pencil stream of water going through the pipes.

This maybe should technically be a Fanshot, since it's a link and all, but since no one reads those, I'll put it here:
I confess to reading Deadspin, though I avoid all mentions of Dear Old State (their snarkiness is tolerable when directed at things other than our alma mater).
I came across this ranking of regional foods and got a hearty chuckle out of the entry for Pennsylvania, not just because of the mention of an oft-discussed breakfast food, but also for spot-on description of Philidelphia.
A few other thoughts: Arkansas fried catfish is criminally underrated, that stuff is amazing. I live in South Carolina and can attest that shrimp and grits are every bit as good as they claim. The featured Hawaiian dish should have at least been a plate lunch (BBQ chicken, rice, mac salad, pineapple) if not poke. Fried green tomatoes should get bumped in favor of beef brisket.
Despite how you feel about my thoughts on the food rankings, I think we can all agree that Ohio was listed in the proper place (even though I *gasp* actually kinda like Skyline chili).

Sigh...I'd rather not have this be the topic for the weekend talking heads. But that would probably require some definitive info from Senator Clinton by Friday morning at the latest.
Substitute "overwhelming enthusiasm and an almost uncontrollable desire to see all Democrats turn their sights on McCain" for "hysteria," and I think you'll see where some of us are coming from.

Never forget the babies & woman murdered by "Dr" #Gosnell. Pls join me today in taking part in the #Tweetathon to make their voices heard.—
Sister Toldjah (@sistertoldjah) April 12, 2013
Casey Anthony, Jodi Arias, James Holmes, Adam Lanza — the list of "local crime" trials the media spend countless hours reporting and politicizing goes on and on. But the soul-crushing testimony about accused baby murderer Kermit Gosnell and his abortion house of horrors is "a local multiple-murder story … nothing more."
Reserved media seating at the infanticide trial is nearly empty.

Posted by Britton
"People don't want to buy a quarter-inch drill," wrote Harvard marketing professor Theodore Levitt, apprising us of our "myopia" and unleashing a whole new school of new paradigm thinking. "They want a quarter-inch hole!" Citing the old master, Clayton Christensen (of Harvard Business School), Scott Cook (of Intuit) and Taddy Hall (of the Advertising Research Foundation), encourage us to rethink marketing yet again.
As they see it, we have become wedded to marketing dogma that revolves around demographic segmentation. We see our customers through the prisms of age, gender, race, income, geography and lifestyle. We think in terms of averages. "The problem is that customers don't conform their desires to match those of the average consumer in their demographic segment," they write in a recent piece in the Harvard Business Review called "Marketing Malpractice."
Instead, they argue we should see our customers in terms of the "jobs" they are trying to get done. "When people find themselves needing to get a job done, they essentially hire products to do that job for them. The marketer's task is therefore to understand what jobs periodically arise in customers' lives for which they might hire products the company could make. If a marketer can understand the job, design a product and associated experiences in purchase and use to do that job, and deliver it in a way that reinforces its intended use, then when customers find themselves needing to get that job done, they will hire that product."
The job, not the customer, should be the "fundamental unit of analysis for the the marketer," they contend. The authors cite Procter and Gamble's Swiffer, which was designed to do the job of cleaning floors, and Pierre Omidyar's eBay, which was designed to sell personal items. Neither solution was designed for a particular demographic or psychographic.
They speculate that marketers focus on customers for historical reasons -- harking back to a time when the overlap between customer demographics and the job itself were more closely aligned. Even Scott Cook's Intuit developed a Quicken Financial Planner product in the mid-1990s only to discover that it had enormous market share in a relatively unimpressive market (and eventually pulled it). "[W]hile the demographics suggested that lots of families needed a financial plan, constructing one actually wasn't a job that most people were trying to do," they note.
Interestingly, the authors find, "Job defined markets are generally much larger than product category-defined markets. Marketers who are stuck in the mental trap that equates market size with product categories don't understand whom they are competing against from the customer's point of view."

Okay, enough is enough. This great revelation could have come from any clerk in a hardware or auto parts store.
The vast majority of people who go to such stores are there because they have a problem to solve. The extent to which we solve those problems, and the manner in which we do so, is the primary determiner of our success. Yes, one can and should build on that, but that is not possible without the foundation of knowledge, experience, and products/services necessary to solve the customers' problems.
Years ago, a software vendor summed up her business as follows: "We sell solutions." Still the best mission statement I've ever heard.
As Don Cherry would say, it's not rocket surgery.

Fred said: "Yes, one can and should build on that, but that is not possible without the foundation of knowledge, experience, and products/services necessary to solve the customers' problems."
It's not quite apparent from your comments Fred as to which side of the street you're standing on. Knowledge, experiences and products/services? These sound like things for which you attribute to professionals.
The challenge being postulated is that the professionals are failing, profusely. Something that I remind my medical doctors of constantly (of all professions, they seem to need this reminder the most), I have the most experience with my body and how it behaves -- not them. Knowledge and experience are attributes that have to be assigned to the individuals for whom we design.
Owners guides, documentation, directions? These are the crutches of designs that haven't been optimized for the inherent purpose of the individual. Am I suggesting they are not needed? No. But having once been a professional who created such 'crutches', I forged my way into the positions I stand for today in defending the inherent needs of individuals, because of the heartache and effort that I had to invest to write my way around the flaws of the designs which I knew in no way met the needs of the tasks that people would want to accomplish.
What's being suggested here is a focus on working from an existing 'context' (or 'energy for free' from a new science perspective)...not creating a new one intended to 'transport' someone to somewhere they weren't planning on going in the first place.
Products and services are simply appendages to the path on which an individual has dedicated their precious time to. They are the 'experts' of their intent; we are the defenders of clearing the path and lending support for them in that quest. Succesful products and services are subservient to and subjected to the directives of the individual.
Such will, nor never can be the case for any effort in which such individuals are referred to throughout the design process as 'user' or to their intents as 'problems'.

Well, Paula, there's intent, and then there's meaning. It's a collaborative effort.
Consider the idiot light. There's one on the dashboard of your car the intent of which is to alert you to a flaw in the car's electrical system, which is fine except that some "professional" decided to convey that intent by using the ideogram of a battery. So you walk up to the counter and tell the nice person, "My battery light's on. I need a new battery."
What's your intent?
It's not your fault that you were misled by an ideogram, but it's all the info you've got, so you're going with it.
Should the nice person behind the counter take your words at face value? You are the "expert" of your intent, after all, and your clearly stated intent is to buy a battery. And you made it clear above that the service you have requested is subservient to and subjected to your directives.
Is that really what you want?
I don't think so. I think that your intent is to fix your car, whatever is wrong, be it alternator, wiring, or even battery. *That* is the meaning that I derive from your message. I am able to derive that meaning because I have seen people be misled by that idiot light a hundred times before, and I have tested their cars a hundred times before, and I have seen the failure of other components cause that idiot light to come on maybe fifty times before. It's called knowledge and expreience, and if you will allow me to do so, I will use it to support you in your quest.
So what it is, Paula, is that while you are the sole determiner of your intent, it is I who give meaning to said intent. I can do so in one of three ways. I can discuss the issue(s) with you until we agree my meaning matches your intent, or I can simply take what you say at face value, give you what I heard you say you wanted, then blame you when things go wrong. And if I'm the person who chose that ideogram for the charging system light, I can guess at your intent and hope for the best. Personally, I prefer the first approach, but I have worked where the latter two were the culture of the day; it was not pretty.
This is real-world stuff, Paula. It's about me standing across from you on the other side of the counter and helping you get your work done, whatever said work might be. And if the folks in the ivory tower of design or marketing or "headquarters" don't understand that the job is to help people get their work done out here in the real world, then it doesn't matter how much experience or knowledge there is, because most of it is going to be wasted spinning wheels.
Does that help explain my intent just a bit better? (8-)

The 2011 preseason has been fast and furious, and it's been a challenge for Falcons fans to keep up all of the frantic activity. So, I created a graphical visualization of the most important topics during the Falcons' preseason.
To create the visualization, I compiled 15 Falcons articles from various sources, which totaled 8,560 words. All of the words were used to create the "word cloud" below. The result is a visual summary of Falcons news stories from the preseason.
Words that are frequently contained in the news articles are displayed larger in the word cloud.
Note: I omitted four words that are obviously very common in Falcons news: Atlanta, Falcons, Flowery, and Branch.

Longtime Liberty County Chief Deputy Keith Moran has adjusted several times in his four decades of law enforcement. But his newest adjustment has been the toughest - retirement.
"It's just starting to sink in and I must admit - it's a little scary," he said with a laugh one day before his official retirement.
Moran joined the Army at age 19 and became an MP. From there, he moved to the Criminal Investigations Division as a military investigator.
He was stationed in Hawaii when he switched assignments to Fort Stewart and his wife's native Liberty County. When he retired, he took a brief assignment with District Attorney Dupont Cheney. He then shifted to the new MACE drug task force. From there, he went to work for the late Sheriff Don Martin as chief deputy.
"According to my crystal ball theory, the job of chief deputy is to see problems before they happen and fix them as quickly as possible," he explained.
As chief deputy, Moran has overseen investigations, jail operations, staffs and budget and more.
"Keith's experience and knowledge have been priceless," noted current Sheriff Steve Sikes. "I tend to want to kill a fly with a hammer. But Keith is more diplomatic and helps keep us in line."
Moran said he won't the suffering associated with so many emergency calls. He still remembers the discovery of six murder victims in an Waltourville apartment in January 1998. However, the cooperation between so many agencies helped solve the case within 72 hours.
As to what we will miss?
"The people, really. As chief deputy, you're responsible for people and you come to care about them."
Moran has already cleaned out his office and retired Georgia State Patrol Trooper John Long has taken over the job as chief deputy.

BB Men Beat Lutes, Move Into 3rd-Place Tie
News Release Date:
Friday, February 4
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- In a battle between two teams with wins in 11 of their last 13 games, it was Whitman College that stayed hot Friday night with a 69-57 men's basketball victory over Pacific Lutheran in Tacoma, Wash.
Whitman 69,
Pac. Lutheran 57
Avenging a four-point loss to Pacific Lutheran last month in Walla Walla, Whitman pulled into a third-place tie with the Lutes in the Northwest Conference standings. Both teams head to Saturday games with 7-4 conference records.
|Josh Duckworth
Whitman, now 14-6 on the season, took the lead for good midway through the first half, was up 35-28 at intermission and led by no fewer than nine points over the final 13 minutes of play.
Junior Brandon Shaw paced a balanced Whitman attack with 16 points and four assists. Freshman Josh Duckworth made six of eight shots from the floor, adding 15 points and five steals.
|Brandon Shaw
Sophomore Ignas Pavilonis hit three times from the 3-point stripe in scoring 13 points and grabbing seven rebounds. Junior David Michaels broke double-digits with 10 points while sophomore Peter Clark collected his nine points on a trio of 3-point strikes.
As a team, Whitman shot an even 50 percent from the floor (27-54) and outrebounded the Lutes 32-26. The Missionaries also forced 18 Pacific Lutheran turnovers.
Pacific Lutheran, dropping to 12-7 on the season, had just one player score in double figures. Kyle MacTaggart had 16 points and seven rebounds for the Lutes.
|Ignas Pavilonis
Up by seven points at halftime, Whitman stretched its lead to 40-30 early in the second half on a Duckworth three-point play in the paint.
After the Lutes closed to within 42-37, a bucket by Duckworth and two scores by Michaels set the stage for Clark, who drilled one of his threes for a 51-39 Whitman lead with 12 minutes left.
Another Missionary three-point bomb, this one from Pavilonis, had Whitman in front 56-44 at the 10-minute mark. The Lutes drew no closer than nine points the rest of the way.
In the first half, two threes by Pavilonis and one from Clark helped erase an early Pacific Lutheran lead, staking the Missionaries to a 20-16 advantage. The Lutes forged a final tie at 21-21 before Whitman ended the half on a 14-7 run.
In beating Pacific Lutheran for their 14th win of the season, the Missionaries moved past Whitman's 1998-99 team for the most single-season victories in more than two decades. The 1998-99 team finished its season with a 13-12 record.
With five games left on its regular season slate, and a shot at one of four conference playoff berths, Whitman still has a chance at matching or exceeding the victory total posted by the 1988-89 Missionaries. That team was 18-10.
Whitman stays in Tacoma on Saturday for an 8 p.m. game against Puget Sound. Pacific Lutheran, meanwhile, welcomes unbeaten Whitworth to its gym on Saturday.

Crystal Palace circuit
|London, United Kingdom
|Major events
|Formula One
Formula Two
London Grand Prix
British F3
Sports car racing
|3 km (2 mi)
|Lap record
|at 103.39 mph (Mike Hailwood, , 1972)
Crystal Palace circuit was a motor racing circuit in Crystal Palace, London, England. The circuit was located within Crystal Palace park. The route of the track can still be seen on maps providing access to the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre that is also located in the park.
The circuit opened in 1927 and the first race, for motorcycles, was on 21 May 1927. The circuit was 1-mile (1.6 km) long, and ran on pre-existing paths through the park, including a loop past the lake. The surface had tarmac-covered bends, but the straights only had hard-packed gravel.
Improvements begun in December 1936 increased the circuit to 2 miles (3 km), and tarmac-covered the entire length. 20 cars entered the first London Grand Prix on 17 July 1937, a race eventually won by Prince Bira in his ERA R2B Romulus at an average speed of 56.5 mph (90.9 km/h). Later that year, during the International Imperial Trophy meeting also won by Bira, the BBC broadcast the first ever televised motor racing.
With the outbreak of World War II, the park was taken over by the Ministry of Defence, and it would not be until 1953 that race meetings could take place again. The circuit had been reduced in length to 1.39 miles (2.2 km), bypassing the loop past the lake, and pressure from the local residents led to an injunction which reduced motor sport events in the park to only five days per year. A variety of races took place, including sports cars, Formula Three, the London Trophy for Formula Two, and even non-championship Formula One races.
Average speeds continued to rise over the years, with the first 100 mph (161 km/h) lap average set in 1970 by that year's Formula One world champion, Jochen Rindt. Also in 1970, the injunction limiting race days expired and racing was increased to 14 days a year. However, driver safety was coming into focus in the early seventies and it became clear that racing around a park at 100 mph (161 km/h) was not safe. Expensive improvements were undertaken, but it was not enough to save the circuit. The last International meeting was in May 1972, the final lap record going to Mike Hailwood at an average speed of 103.39 mph (166.39 km/h).
The final meeting was held on 23 September 1972, but club events still continued until the circuit's final closure in 1974.
Other uses[edit]
The circuit's location within Greater London made it a popular venue for both film and television settings, The Italian Job filmed on the startline at Crystal Palace for the scene showing initial testing of the Mini Cooper getaway cars. The circuit was also used for parts of the UFO (TV series) episode The Responsibility Seat.
Although the circuit no longer exists, it can be driven virtually in the Grand Prix Legends historical motor racing computer simulation game, for which it was recreated in detail. It was later converted to several other racing simulation programs, including the popular rFactor.
The circuit was used for the prologue time trial of the Tour of Britain cycle race on 9 September 2007, and is used regularly for summer road race league events, normally held on Tuesday evenings.
Racing today[edit]
In 1997, a group of enthusiasts at Sevenoaks & District Motor Club started a series of sprint events. The event was attended by some of the star drivers and cars from the past; Bentleys, Bugattis, Ferraris, Porsches, Jaguars and many Lotuses raced the circuit once more. The latter marque even chose one of these Palace events to reveal its latest sports car. The events lasted three years before being stopped due to park development work. Following discussions with local council and the London Development Agency, sprint racing again started at the park, with the two-day event held 30/31 May 2010.[1]
