Game week has arrived for the Notre Dame football team. And for the Fighting Irish, this Saturday's 2013 season opener against Temple will be the first time the team has taken the field since last January's disappointing loss to Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game.
"Getting back on the field for our football team after a loss is the best recipe for any football team. Irish head coach Brian Kelly said Tuesday afternoon. "It's been a long time since we played that last game, and a lot of work, a lot of preparation leading into this first game against Temple."
Saturday's game will be Kelly's fourth opener as Irish head coach, and the results so far have been mixed — two wins and a loss.
But Kelly said his players now know what to expect from him — and what he expects of them.
And the most key expectation at the moment, Kelly said, is playing mistake-free football.
"I think we all know openers tend to have some mistakes in them," Kelly said. "We need to play a clean opener against a team that obviously is coming into Notre Dame Stadium and has nothing to lose, and our players understand that going into it."
Even with hot temperatures — upper 80s to low 90s with high humidity — expected on Saturday, Kelly said he doesn't expect any more substitutions than normal.
But with the Irish's depth the highest it's been in Kelly's four-year tenure, the Irish coach feels good about several positions especially.
"It's a lot deeper than we've had at any time," Kelly said. "I think that there's five running backs that can help us play. We feel like there's a number of players at the receiving position that can play for us.
So I think we've got a lot more depth than we've had at any time coming into the season at this point.
Irish Items
Kelly is one win shy of 200 for his coaching career. If the Irish beat temple on Saturday, Kelly would become the second youngest (51 years, 310 days) to reach that milestone among college coaches with at least five years of experience or 50 victories at a school classified as a major college ... Zack Martin and Nick Martin will become the first set of brothers at Notre Dame to start on the offensive line together since Dave and Tim Huffman did it in 1978 ... Saturday's game will be the 232nd consecutive sellout at Notre Dame Stadium. ... The meeting with Temple will be the first between the two schools.

Help!, (US: Capitol (S)MAS 2386)
- "You're Going To Lose That Girl" (originally printed on the US version of Help! as "You're Gonna Lose That Girl," and sometimes mistakenly listed as such) is a midtempo ballad written by John and recorded in just under three hours at the fourth session for the Help! movie soundtrack.
- The lyrics are not personal but rather a reversal of the Lennon-McCartney "third-party" gimmick of "She Loves You": here, the singer warns that the girl in question will leave the subject for him if she's not "treated right," a conceit set off nicely by the backing harmonies of Paul and George ("I'll make a point of taking her away from you..." "...that's what you'll do").
- The quick recording -- this was the last session before the band flew to the Bahamas to begin filming the movie itself -- led to several unfortunate anomalies. The harmony vocals which lead off the track are off-pitch with the rest of the song (you can hear the trio adjusting when the song itself kicks in), while McCartney's piano, overdubbed the same day, is slightly off-key and seems to hit a few wrong notes in spots.
- This song moves from its home key of E major to a bridge of G major and then back again, an extremely odd shift, and not just for pop music. It is often studied by musicologists to determine how the flow could be executed so smoothly.
- A second, replacement guitar solo was recorded for this song by George on March 30, 1965, but never used.
- This song marks the first use of George's 1961 "Sonic Blue" Fender Strat, one of two Mal Evans had been dispatched to pick up from a shop in Kent, England. (John played the other one, though not on this song.)
- The scene in Help! which features this song contains a naughty sort of pun: the producer recording the boys hears a "buzzing" sound, which proves to be someone cutting the floor around Ringo. When Ringo falls through the hole, John shouts, "It was you buzzing! You naughty boy!," a reference to getting high (or getting a "buzz") on marijuana.

If you installed the Navisworks Exporters during the install, follow instruction in the Navis exporter docs and try out the NWCOUT command. By habit I export to a seperate folder than where my dwg is kept. This was due to some issues in the past when the BIM coordinator is working with and updating their NWF files from my live files. It may not be an issue any more though.
You could also look at your Navisworks export settings with NWOPT command. If your using the Navisworks Freedom viewer, you may need to use the NWDOUT command in ASD due to the Freedom limitations. I believe it only opens NWD files.

Maryland Weekly Fishing Report Overview | September 26, 2012
For dedicated Maryland surf casters, nothing is more anticipated than the brief autumn run of red drum-and perhaps no angler waits more eagerly than Allen Sklar of Ocean City.
Every day for the past three weeks, Sklar has been on the Assateague beach before sunrise to set up, cast and wait. He prefers spot, bunker, and kingfish for bait. The head of a fresh bluefish will also do the trick. He uses a 12-foot rod to cast a fish-finder rig with a 36-inch 100-pound test mono rub-leader connected to a thin wire Mustad 10/0 or a 9/0 Gamakatsu Big Eye circle hook with a seven- or eight-ounce sinker to heave the bait beyond the breakers where a big red might be cruising. He prefers braided running line as it provides a better feel for the personality and attitude of a hooked fish.
For close casting, Sklar picks a spot featuring deep water and a cut in a sandbar, and he makes sure to keep his bait fresh by checking often and replacing the bait whenever it appears tired, soggy, damaged or in anyway suspicious. The strategy evidently works and on Thursday morning brought three successive sandbar shark connections, countless bluefish, spot, pompano, and a huge stingray. T.J. Nelson stopped by on his way off the beach to see how Sklar was doing and left him a fresh kingfish he had caught. Sklar immediately cut it in half, threaded a chunk on his hook and sent it just past the first breakers. As the waves began to reach the high tide mark, the rod bent deeply, and Sklar knew he had a substantial fighter on the line. He could feel the tail thrashing as the fish tried to rub the hook out in the sand.
"The fish came in fairly quickly... maybe too quickly, it turned out," he said. "A big red drum can really bust you if they are too green." The fish bolted south when it sensed the shoreline. Sklar followed the fish down the beach until he could wade in and grab the leader. With his boots filling with water and sand, he was able to lift the fish and stand for a quick photo before removing the hook and letting it go to fight another day. Estimated weight-45 pounds!
"Red Drum fishing at Assateague Island is about as tough as surf fishing gets," Sklar says. "An angler may spend weeks trying to land one of these powerful fish. In 17 years of surf fishing I've only landed a couple dozen of these critters."

Anglers looking to join the action can park in the day lot at the Assateague National Seashore ($15 for a seven-day pass, $30 for the annual pass), or along the numbered east-west streets near the Ocean City beach and hump your gear through the dunes to the rolling surf. Don't trample the sea grass. It stabilizes the beach where it survives. Fill a five-gallon bucket with everything you'll need for a few hours on the sand-water, snacks, bait, hooks, dehooker, sand spikes, pliers, spare tackle...
Be aware and considerate of the salt-stained anglers who stake out their spots in the morning mist. They have earned their places and can help you immensely in understanding the method, skill and culture of surf fishing. If you spy the silhouette of a floppy hat, boots, jeans and the determination of a classic fisherman on the sand, you are probably looking at Allen Sklar, T. J. Nelson or any of the guardians of the North Assateague Island surf. Watch and learn.
Ocean City flounder fishing remains steady for coastal anglers who work the sandy bottom of the OC Inlet and the Coastal Bays. The two hours on either side of high tide are best for reasons that no one but the flounder understands. Live bait is best, of course. But, some anglers are experimenting and succeeding with combinations of natural bait and Berkley Gulp plastics.
Ocean City's South Jetty is currently featuring sheepshead, an excellent item on anyone's menu.
Offshore, the white marlin bite continues. Dolphin too! The persistent high winds have been the limiting factor lately. When the wind allows, the bill-fishing remains hot over the Norfolk and Washington Canyons.
Moving west from the Atlantic beaches, it's time to ignore the lawn, throw the kids in the station wagon and go pan fishing. Cool nights and shorter days are beginning to produce water temperature inversions that will coax the fish out of the depths to the clear shallows where kids of all ages can while away Indian summer days casting and catching. In this gap between summer's grass mowing and the leaf fall, we owe it to ourselves and the next generation of anglers to go fish. Mud minnows fished live under a bobber is an exciting way to fool blue gills, catfish, yellow perch, crappies, maybe a largemouth bass and even a beautiful chain pickerel. Pack snacks and make a day of it.
Largemouth bass fishing in the tidal Potomac River is benefitting from some recent rain, which has added some color to the water and pushed the salt wedge a little downstream. Ken Penrod and his Life Outdoors Unlimited guides have found good fishing along the Fort McNair drop-off. They recommend Rapala Thugs, Mizmo tube lures and the Penrod Special spinner bait from the BigMouth Lure Company. The Blue Plains Plant and Fox Ferry Point are holding striped and largemouth bass. The Wilson Bridge Belle Haven Cove, Smoot Bay and Penrod Cove waters are providing satisfaction for anglers who are handy with Rapala DT crankbaits, tube lures and Case Magic Stiks.
The upper end of Mattwoman Creek has been fishing well in low water with spinner and buzz baits.
While bass anglers are out having pure fun, the DNR Tidal Bass Program has been on a full-court press to complete the fall largemouth bass survey. At the time of this writing, the biologists have measured, examined and weighed about 150 fish and can report that the bass are in good shape. The juveniles are measuring between four and five inches, an indication of a good 2012 year class. The team has tagged 15 blue catfish in a cooperative study with the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. They are terminating any snakeheads that turn up in a cooperative effort with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The survey has another five weeks to go and includes portions of the Potomac River, Choptank River, Patuxent River, Susquehanna Flats, Marshyhope Creek, Wicomico River, and Pocomoke River.
Avid bow-hunter and DNR Angler's Log contributor Dutch Baldwin in PG County has expanded his snakehead assault program to include blue catfish. A couple of years ago, Baldwin combined his passion for big game hunting and fishing with a nighttime snakehead bow fishing program based from a jon-boat equipped with flood lights. This program worked out so well that other hunters have taken his lead and are having fun harvesting protein and removing invasive species in Piscataway and Mattawoman creeks while the rest of the world watches TV or sleeps. Baldwin's latest rig is a 20- by eight-foot foot SeaArk equipped with six ultra-bright 150W sodium lights, a Honda generator, a bow-controlled trolling motor and a 90 hp four-stroke Yamaha outboard. The lights and trolling motor are controlled from the bow-mounted shooting deck, which can accommodate four "anglers". Baldwin uses a light compound bow rigged with a bow-fishing reel. No bait required.
"We cruise the marsh and grass edges looking for the distinctive shape of the fish," he says. "You can really tell the outline of the species and know exactly what you are aiming at." Baldwin says there are just too many small blue catfish to count in the creek. The giants (20-36 pounds) tend to lay still. "The meat is mild tasting and flaky. Good to eat no matter what size." he says. According to Baldwin, prime blue cat fishing time is right now and, really anytime of year.

Deep Creek Lake temperatures have dropped into the low 70s, and the water skiers have put their boats and boards away for the year leaving the water open and calm for anglers. The early morning surface film is dimpled with the feeding of schools of small bluegills and perch. Aggressive black bass will be underneath, which calls for top-water fishing strategies. Ace Deep Creek guide Brent Nelson recommends the Rapala Skitter-Pop for exciting splashy visuals and success. He also likes prop baits such as the Nip-a-Diddy, Tiny Torpedo and the Woodchopper. And who wouldn't like those, if only for the excellent names? They sound like a cast of twisted Disney characters.
The well-appointed Deep Creek Lake angler should always have a Zara Spook in the bag for times when nothing else is working. Learn to walk-the-dog with these lures and good things will happen.
Tangier Sound continues to offer opportunities for a Crisfield Super Slam - rockfish, bluefish, speckled trout and redfish. Add a flounder and a croaker to the list to make a hero's memory. Light tackle guide Kevin Josenhans reports 100-fish days as the action heats up for the fall bonanza. The Stillwater Smack-it seems to be the go-to top-water lure for the late September specks and stripers.
On the Upper Chesapeake Bay, breaking rockfish continue to be the game. The blitz has been an Upper Bay phenomenon for the past six weeks, primarily featuring undersized yearling stripers in the expanse of water inside of Sharps Island Light over an area that old-timers call The Diamonds.

Now, with water temperatures falling into the low 70s, the action is moving inshore, and big fish have begun to arrive in shallow waters in search big-bites. Schools of large menhaden are churning the waters of Eastern Bay and the Choptank River, but the small stripers seem to be ignoring this smorgasbord in favor of thick schools of tiny bay anchovies in the mouths of the tributaries (Severn, Magothy, Chester, South). The big fish appear to be content to ambush perch and surface plugs along the rocks, stumps and docks of the Miles River, Wye, Whitehall Bay...

Severn River kayak anglers are slipping away to find excellent white perch and striper fishing in the mornings and evenings over the oyster bars, along the marshy shorelines, and in the hidden saltwater ponds. Severn River yak-angler John Veil, who won the Tracker Boat in this year's Maryland Fishing Challenge, has been having excellent luck with spinner baits catching a mix of stripers and perch using the ultralight, slow-troll method. He simply drags three lines as he eases his kayak along the shore and waits for the strike. Veil's winning 2012 white perch was a Severn River 13.5 incher!
The Jonas Green Park at the base of the Naval Academy Bridge is the best place to launch your paddling expedition-good, free parking and a nice soft ramp.

Eastern Shore kayak professional, Chris Dollar reports excellent white perch fishing along the Tilghman Island shoreline from Tilghman Point to Claiborne. Cabin Creek on the southeast side of Kent Narrows is also a good bet for paddlers who go early and know to use a slow retrieve along the marshy shore. Dollar likes the Woody lure from Maryland Tackle, a locally-made spinner/bucktail lure that really turns the white perch into gangsters.
Scotty Taylor of Annapolis reports that there are obviously hundreds of feeding brown trout in the Gunpowder River. But they are too hard to catch.
Don't let that stop you.
It's time to fish in Maryland.

Crab Report with Oddities
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Mid Bay
Location: South of Kent Island
Tags: Blue Crab, Remora, Horseshoe Crab
This is my first post but I had a couple strange catches while crabbing this past Saturday that I wanted to report. My father-in-law and I crabbed south of Kent Island from 6:30 until 11:30 and managed a full bushel of 70 crabs. Nothing huge but half were 6 to 7 inches and the other half were 5 1/4 to 6. The strange catches were 2 horseshoe crabs and an18" striped remora (unfortunately I didn't get a picture. We use mostly 30" hoop traps and it got stuck in the netting) I guess that the horseshoe crabs could indicate the salinity is up in that area (along with LOTS of jellyfish). I know remoras usually hang with large sharks and other such creatures so I was really surprised to see that one without thinking that maybe a large shark could have been in the area.
DNR Response: Small Remora are an uncommon visitor to the Chesapeake Bay and can swim freely or even hitch a ride on a sea turtle and of course sharks. Small Cobia are also found in the bay this time of the year and look very similar except they lack the suction disk on the top of their head. Salinities in the mid bay area right now are about 11.5 ppt on the surface and 19 ppt on the bottom which is about normal for this time of the year. Horseshoe Crabs are not uncommon in the bay up to the Bay Bridge.

Chapter 6: If I think to much, I find there's just a hole.7 Reviews
Mikey hears Frank's story.
It was then, as Frank came to a stop on the bench near the rusting swings, Mikey noticed it was thundering. Every raindrop felt like hammers bruising and slapping his pale skin, a veil of white and indigo pummeling tears falling from the grey, frowning clouds, the concrete beneath Mikey's converse like ice: slippery and so frosty it stung. The bitter, crisp air ripped at his skin and tore at his clothes as he abruptly stopped in front of Frank, whose drenched, shivering figure was huddled into itself, tears falling like the rain around them, sobs as loud as the wet canopy of thundering claps.
He slowly and carefully sat down next to Frank, just staring at the distressed boy as he cried into his gloved hands, sobs racking and painful, stabbing at Mikey's pained heart.
The Stygian sky rumbled above them as the rain pelted down harder, seeping through the two, lone misfits' clothes and soaking their pale skin, causing the two misunderstood boys to shiver in unison as jagged lasers of silver light shot through the sky, inky clouds covering the sun. Crashing cymbals of thundrous paeans blasted through their hearing, almost disguising Frank's desperate cries but not quite, as a blinding liquid fog took over the school grounds and they couldn't see a meter in front of them.
Frank wasn't aware of Mikey sitting there next to him, looking at him like a trapped animal: upset, scared and pained. He was too caught up in the somberness of his heart to notice, too tired to care. But he did, anyway. He cared that Mikey didn't follow him - or so he thought.
But, as he felt a small tap on his shoulder, he knew he thought wrong, and he pushed his soaking body into Mikey's, who obliged and hugged him back, almost desperate, needing.
The stillicide, stupendously falling rain drenched the two boys who silently hugged each other for minutes, both knowing sorrow, but both strong as oak. It took a lot to brake them, but it looked like, for a second, that they were both broken toys, lying lonesomely on the carpet, abandoned by a child, too frail and battered to play with.
Finally, after what seemed like a dark, gloomy eternity, Mikey asked, "Are you okay?" His voice crackled and broke, his tone barely a whisper.
Frank pulled himself from Mikey's embrace, not daring to look into his eyes for two reasons: he was blushing and he couldn't bare to. Not now.
Fiddling with the ends of his fingerless gloves, Frank nodded. "I'm fine," he mumbled.
Silence occupied the space as Frank tried to find the words he needed to say, tried to find the words to explain his conflict with his sister.. But he couldn't. The howling wind blew through their ears in a hushed, breathy tone, speaking with the sorrow of weeping angels as they watched the scene, hearts bared to the world.
"D-do you remember," Frank started, voice shaking from his tears. "When I told you Lucy had done some bad things in her life?"
Mikey nodded, eyes meeting Frank's pained, hazel ones. The golden flecks in his eyes looked even brighter in the horrendous scene around them, though neither cared that they were cold and wet, and probably going to catch the flu. He presumed they were fighting about something Miss. Caines had done.
"Well," Frank continued. "I-it was about my older sister, not half-sister like Lucy, but a real sister, pure blood.." Frank smiled softly to himself then. "Like wizards off Harry Potter."
Mikey grinned then, too. Even if it was only a small smile, it was more than the two had done all day.
Frank cleared his throat and continued. "She was twenty, and her name was Laken.
"Laken suffered from acute paranoia, but she was normal. She acted normal, seemed normal. And she was. She was normal.. but Lucy obviously resented her.. and.. one day, she took it too far.
"Lucy started shouting at Laken at every opportunity, until, eventually, Laken decided not to speak. She turned mute."
Mikey's brown eyes widened, and he suddenly understood why Frank could read his lips so easily, why he felt the need to help Mikey so much, as he had said so as they parted ways the other night.
Tears started building in Frank's sorrow-drowned eyes again, and as they dripped off his face, Mikey couldn't distinguish his tears from the rain drops that fell from the heavens, from his ebony, drenched hair that was so wet it was flattened, water constantly dropping from each strand..
"Laken and I used to be really close, so, so close.. and.. when she turned mute.. she pushed everyone away. I talked to her, still, but no way near as often as I used to, because she pushed me away from her.. Lucy still shouted at her. I didn't know why - I still don't - but she didn't ease up, even though it was her fault Laken turned mute.
"I knew something was wrong with Laken, I just.. I knew it.. I could tell something changed in her. And when I went to speak to her one night.. I f-found her." Frank started to tremble by then, sobs leaking through and into each word, dipping each letter into his tears, letting his sorrow and formidable despair show through. "She was dead. Suicide," he whispered.
And then, all that Mikey could do, was relate to Laken.
And Frank obviously knew that, because he looked up to Mikey with anguish-stained, wide eyes, and said, "And you better not do that."
Mikey shook his head frantically as Frank collected Mikey into his strong arms, mumbling, "I think it was my fault.. I should've tried to talk with her again.. Why did Lucy have to do that? Why?"
Sat in the torrential rain, heartache and woe spilling out of their lonely, grieved souls, both drenched inside and out, the two stared up at the rough, coarse flashes of blinding light, shooting through the dark sky like rays of white, and listened to the torrential rain and thunderous claps. Both tried to find their souls, and both in denial.
"It wasn't your fault," Mikey whispered finally, looking over to Frank who was huddled into his wet hoodie, and Mikey's arms, trying to get warm. Their gazes locked as Frank slowly looked to his friend, contemplating his words.
Mikey realized he broke his 'no talking' rule. But did that matter at this moment? Frank was hurt. More than hurt - he was.. he looked.. almost hopeless.
"Maybe not," he uttered in reply, biting his lip. "But it feels like it."
Mikey shook his head softly, rain dripping of the edge of his soaked fringe. He didn't mind that it was going to be ruined, but he minded that Frank was ruined. Now he had Frank's attention, instead of speaking, he mouthed his next words. "You didn't push her to the edge. You were there for her. Lucy.. Miss. Caines.. she wasn't. She wasn't even nice to her. I don't think you can blame yourself for what Lucy did - hurt Laken."
Frank nodded softly, then sighed and slammed shut his eyes, trying to squeeze away the memories. The memories that haunted him at night, the memories that shattered his already-splintered heart, the memories he dreaded. The memory of Laken's white body..
A tear rolled softly down his face, sorrow blanketing his black, little heart.
And then, without even a moments notice, Frank felt a pair of lips connect with his.

Will the Wolves make a move or two by the deadline on Feb 21?
Darren Wolfson reports the obvious Luke Ridnour rumors with the Knicks, Celtics, Sixers, and Jazz among others as being interested in Luke's services. Obviously, lots variables here (ex. the Jazz are reportedly interested in Bledsoe/filler for Millsap which would diminish interest in Ridnour).
-A DWill deal at the deadline is less likely with the offseason reported more likely.
-Pek verbally reassured he won't be moved, at least for now.
Some possible moves that work financially:
-Luke for Dorell Wright
-Luke for Alec Burks and Raja Bell (or other filler). Luke for Bell, filler and a #1.
-Luke and Stiemsma for Courtney Lee and Wilcox or Collins
-Luke for Shumpert, Kurt Thomas and James White. Or, with PHX reportedly interested in Shumpert, send the Knicks players to PHX with a protected pick and route Dudley to MN.
Any of these moves could be seen as helpful either by securing a wing and/or expirings.
What do you think?

The Kubler-Ross model deals with the 5 stages of grief.
1. Denial - I don't have to be a Browns fan.
While it's incredibly hard to be a Browns fan, and many of us say that we can "walk away" the bottom-line truth is we know deep inside that we really can't. We ultimately have too much time and money invested. In the worst case scenarios, time, money and way too much love.
2. Anger - Fire everyone, blow it up, I hate everything.
This is a common response people have when they don't get what they want or need. The person feels as if he or she is in a one-sided relationship. You give and give and receive nothing or very little in return. It hurts, and hurt turns into anger. This is the epitome of the "factory of sadness" visceral response (thank you Mr. Mike Polk Jr. for the unmitigated laughs).
3. Bargaining - Maybe I expected too much.
This is basically when you start to feel bad for the Browns and start to blame yourself for not being a better fan. You may even deny you have ever felt this way, but that will only compound your suffering. You then ask yourself "How do I help turn this around?" Sadly, you start to realize you have no control over the situation.
4. Depression - This one is self explanatory. We've all had severe Cleveland Browns depression at one point.
The period between bargaining and acceptance where we mull, twist, writhe and "battle" with our Cleveland Browns problem now that we are beginning to accept it.
5. Acceptance - When you finally own your Cleveland Browns problem.
This is where you begin to resolve your issue. You put everything else to rest and look forward to the draft, tell yourself things will be better next year. etc.
All in all, this is a template to follow for the rest of the season. It's intended to help You, the fan, realize that while you are ultimately going to be depressed and angry over the next 13 games, you will be able to move on despite feeling molested and unsanitary regardless of your undying allegiance.
Lastly, and as usual, Go Browns!

devised by a group of Wellingtons fresh theatre makers
Directed by Bop Murdoch
Produced by Cara Louise
Original music by Te Aihe Butler

From 20 Aug 2013 to 24 Aug 2013
Reviewed by John Smythe, 21 Aug 2013
As we enter the Bats auditorium the cast is playing 'Grandma's Footsteps': actors in the auditorium try to creep up on the person on stage but when she turns they have to be still or it's back to the start. We get the opportunity to play along, freezing when she turns, which can be a bit frustrating when we are trying to settle, deal with coats and hats, switch off cellphones, etc. So we choose to either be in the game (sort of) or we opt out.
This tension between the quests to belong and to be independent threads throughout the seemingly random snippets of action and interaction that follow, comprising Pat-A-Cake Productions' latest devised work, What Goes Up.
Apples are used throughout, referencing the converse gravity of the title, as discovered by Isaac Newton. As a play it is a demonstration of how one – or two or more – may play with apples: the apple as sustenance, status symbol, treasure, means of exchange, weapon; the apple as a metaphor … for pretty well anything you want it to mean.
The initial sequence, beginning with Sarah Tuck having one and Lewis McLeod wanting it, develops into an apparent proof that the more you give the more you get, until Jody Burrell points out the flaw in the illusion. And this turns out to be the most coherent moment in the whole production.
The show is mostly non-verbal, and sometimes when they do speak – Oscar Shaw in particular – words are chewed and swallowed as much as the apples, which may or may not matter but it's a truth of human nature that as soon as we are denied access to something, we want it even more.
What we seem to be witnessing are a series of ideas that have been played with in the development process and have pleased the players so much that they have decided to put them on stage for a paying audience. But what may delight a creator in the moment of discovery soon palls in recreation unless we 'get it' too, and unless it becomes an organic part of something more.
Despite some dynamic physicality, good comic timing (Tuck especially), the clever use of a trestle table and a few recurring motifs – e.g. "the Karma Café where there are no menus and you get what you deserve" – there is no sense of accumulation or culmination in what plays out. Or if there is, the devisors have kept it to themselves.
Director Bop Murdoch's programme note is often quite abstract too, in the way it articulates the premise from which the show has grown. But if you read it thoroughly beforehand, you may get the pleasure of recognising, for example, the bit that captures "that inane thrill we get from doing something without help" or how "we make games of the price that we've signed up to pay on the U-turn day when generations of acceleration will plateau out – or worse: ricochet back at us."
"Lets [sic] question the come-down that our community continues to sign up for," Murdoch suggests. And of course the get-out from any responsibility for crafting the components into something that engages us at a level greater than merely witnessing activity on stage, is this: "Find your own coming and goings in our daily games, grown from the roots of our real actions. Expect them to become as surreal as our lives … Relax your sense of entitlement to plot narrative, and sharpen your alertness to your own convection currents of karma affecting the momentum of this community."
Well I'm afraid What Goes Up doesn't inspire that response in me. I don't go to a restaurant to be given a bunch of ingredients and told I'm free to make what I like of them. I don't need "plot narrative" but if the whole does not, by some alchemy or other, add up to more than the sum of the parts, I'm likely to leave dissatisfied. And I do.
In my review of their Fringe show, Thin Skin, I wrote: "What they seem to have done (I can only guess) is played with a diverse range of ideas drawn from their research, abstracted them into performance modules then randomly strung them together to make their 'play'." The same goes for What Goes Up.
Of course the performers and directors all know exactly what each action and interaction means, which only adds to our sense of alienation. It's mean of them to keep it to themselves. Offering the odd part-eaten apple is not the same as sharing human experience. I repeat: when we are denied access to something, we want it even more.

I assume the publicity blurb, which promised a conversation with karma, was written before the work itself had been devised? Other than the 30 second Karma Cafe gag that was introduced somewhere around half way and returned to two or three times, I couldn't see any karmic reference. What I did see was a lot of apple eating and apple throwing, accompanied by lots of grunted "ohs" and "woahs" that made little, if any, sense beyond mostly watching four young people pretending to be little kids larking around. With apples. The idea that these games were grown from "real actions" and reflect the "convection currents of karma" felt like a piss-take. After five minutes, you've seen the whole show. What follows is just more of the same with a slightly different spin. If this was a street performance where one could watch a few minutes and move on, then fine. 50-odd minutes of incoherent apple-ohing-and-woahing felt like punishment. Perhaps THAT was the karmic element?

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – A man was critically injured late Monday morning in a shooting in southwest Jefferson County.
Louisville Metro Police responded to scene of the shooting at the Thorobred Apartments in the 4900 block of Saddelbrook Court off Rockford Lane just before 11:30 a.m.
A neighbor said the victim's wife and child were inside the apartment when the shooting happened and that a maintenance worker chased a suspect into a nearby building and held him until officers arrived. Police have yet to confirm the neighbor's story.
Louisville Metro Police Spokesperson Dwight Mitchell said the victim was transported to University of Louisville Hospital.

Bournemouth children's author starts free e-book deals service for bookworms
11:00am Sunday 23rd February 2014 in News By Melanie Vass
A BOURNEMOUTH children's author has launched a free online service to alert bookworms to all the latest e-book deals.
Shalini Boland, pictured, has created ebooksoda.com, which provides readers with a recommended e-book every day.
Those registering with the free service simply select the type of books they like to read and the e-reader they use and then receive an email every day, alerting them to a suitable e-book that is available for free or at a reduced price.
Mother-of-two Shalini, of Queens Park, said: "It can be expensive buying books, while libraries are great but you can't always get the sort of books you want.
"This is convenient because it's at home and all the hard work is done for you.
It's great if you're a vora-|cious reader because you get a |different recommendation every day.
"If you're on holiday for |example, it's brilliant because you can lie on a beach and |get another book instantly.
And it's good if you haven't |got a lot of money because |you can get a book for free every day."
Shalini, a popular teenage |fiction writer who has just |finished the 'Outside' series set in Bournemouth, finds out |about many deals direct from authors and publishers.
The eventual hope is that publishers will pay a nominal fee for each book that she promotes.

Not least of which is Amazon if you use the correct search terms.

With the uncertainty about the future of the White Sox's third base position and the lack of useful information regarding the status of talks with free agents and/or other teams regarding trade possibilties, now is a perfect time to discuss the possible internal options. One option that has been brought up is the idea of moving Dayan Viciedo from left field to third base, which was his original position. Let's take a closer look and find out just how reasonable or ridiculous this idea really is.
In the major leagues, Viciedo has played a grand total of 26 games at third base. All of these 26 games were played during the 2010 season after he was called up from Charlotte in mid-June. He actually hit pretty well during his 38 game/108 plate appearance cup of coffee with the big league club posting a .308/.321/.519 line with a 122 wRC+.
Ok, I know that there is a problem here. This is a very small sample size. Such a small number of games, of which only 68% were played at third base, do not comprise a large enough sample to come to definite conclusions about the future of any position on your favorite sports team. Therefore, the investigation below should be read with some skepticism.
Even given his above-average offensive production over this short stint his defense at third was undeniably brutal. Over 162.0 innings playing defense at third during the 2010, Viciedo was good for a UZR/150 of -18.6, which is not good. Just for perspective, Miguel Cabrera was considered by many to be a terrible defender at third base last season and he still had a significantly better UZR/150 than Viciedo's 2010 at -11.2. Again, this is a very small sample size and even in larger samples defensive statistics can sometimes be misleading.
There could be a lot of factors not represented in the numbers that led to his poor defensive performance. However, when you back his 2010 performance up with his 2012 season a clearer picture comes into focus. Over 1093.0 in left field during the 2012 season, Viciedo has a UZR/150 of -3.2. While this is a significant improvement from his 2010 numbers at third base, he is still below average among left fielders. This boost in defensive performance can also be explained by the shift to an easier position on the defensive spectrum. Given the larger sample size of this data, we can probably assume that he would be worse than -3.2 UZR/150 in a switch back to third base. So we are talking about defensive, third basemen comps of Orlando Hudson on the high end of the scale down to Josh Vitters of the Cubs or Jordan Pacheco of the Rockies on the lower end.
I've omitted 2011 from this conversation because he neither played third base nor left field in that season. He did play right field though and was slightly worse than in left field with a -5.1 UZR/150. His other games in 2011 were either spent as a pinch hitter, designated hitter, or first base.
So defensively, it would be an understatement to say that he would be a liability at third base. The other side to the questions is this: understanding that the defense would be well below average at the hot corner, can he produce enough with the bat to outweigh his deficiencies in the field?
In 2012, Viciedo had a slash line of .255/.300/.444 and hit 25 homers. His offensive performance was considered to be 3% below league average according to wRC+. Even with some improvement, which is to be expected from a 23 year-old, his offense will like not be enough to cover up his defensive shortcomings. Bill James's predictions for him next year suggest he will produce a slash line of .271/.316/.455. While this is a welcome improvement, it doesn't really look all that inspiring when compared to the average slash line for third basemen in 2012 (.262/.323/.415). He would need to produce significantly above what an average third basemen would offensively to contribute positively to the team in 2013 given his defensive ability and it does not appear that such an improvement is likely.
The final nail in the coffin for this solution to the White Sox's third base problem is how the outfield positions are distributed if Viciedo is no longer the left field. I can't say that I would be thrilled with the prospect of any of our current back-up outfielders taking over on a daily basis. We have DeWayne Wise (.258/.295/.405), Jordan Danks (.224/.280/.564) or Blake Tekotte (.133/.133/.267) as our current back ups. In free agency we can dream of getting Hamilton on a three or four year deal but we all know deep down that it's not going to happen. If we were willing to do that we might as well just spend it on Youkilis for another short-term deal. We may be able to find another stop-gap veteran to fill in the outfield but that may not be a smart decision given our limited budget. We could trade Floyd in return for an outfield replacement. However, that begs the question of why not just trade Floyd for a third basemen in the first place. In the end, that might be the best solution because it is clear that moving Viciedo to third base is ridiculous.

"I don't know," Reed said when asked if he thinks he'll be punished by the league office. "I don't know what's going to come of it. I had the referee whispering in my ear on the second play. All I like to do is play the game. I don't really know what to do with it. I don't really know what to do with that. I thought it was a decent hit. He got up from it."
Ravens shut down Giants' pass rush
Headlined by disruptive defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul, the New York Giants' pass rushers have built a reputation of causing chaos in opponents' backfields.
They didn't live up to that advance billing Sunday, though, as they were stonewalled during the Ravens' 33-14 victory at M&T Bank Stadium.
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco wasn't even sacked once and was only hit twice. He had plenty of time to locate his receivers, completing 25 of 36 passes for 309 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 114.2 quarterback rating.
Paul, who had 16 1/2 sacks last season and entered the game with 6 1/2 sacks, was contained as he had just one quarterback hit.
"I think we played really well as a unit," rookie offensive tackle Kelechi Osemele said. "It was great timing. We worked hard. We made our corrections during the week, and we performed."
Pro Bowl offensive guard Marshal Yanda returned to the starting lineup after missing one game with a sprained right ankle, and experienced no setbacks.
"It was good having Marshal back in there," Osemele said. "The communication was good. We didn't lose a step."
Running an efficient offense that set season-highs with 533 yards of total offense and 224 rushing yards, the Ravens converted 11 of 18 third downs.
"It was a collective effort from everybody protecting Joe, and a matter of Joe getting the ball out on time," Yanda said. "Converting third downs was huge. You're going to win football games doing that."
First sack
Promoted from the practice squad earlier this month, Omar Brown was thrilled to learn he would have an increased role against the Giants.
Sacking Manning in the third quarter was a huge moment for the undrafted rookie safety from Marshall.
"It felt great," Brown said. "I really worked hard on the practice squad, learning the system. As a free agent, you got to earn your way a little bit more."
Nickel duties
One week after former first-round cornerback Jimmy Smith struggled in pass coverage, he was replaced in the nickel package by cornerback Chykie Brown.
Brown was beaten for a touchdown late by Domenik Hixon, but held up well otherwise with four pass deflections.
"The touchdown I gave up was a lesson learned," Brown said. "I tried to get greedy and looked for the ball and went for the pick instead of just playing my man. It's something I got to learn from. I was happy with how I played for the most part. I came into this game with the mind frame that I've got to make a name for myself."
Boldin injured¿

The encouraging thing is that the UMC is truly an international church, with some 40% of the delegates coming from outside the US. Since the American portion of the UMC is steadily shrinking, and the African proportion is growing rapidly, that suggests that there is actually a real chance that the UMC will manage to avoid going over the cliff and self-destructing the way that TEC, the ELCA, and the PCUSA have done or are doing.
There is a reasonable chance of that, I say, but that positive outcome depends entirely on the UMC actually hanging together and not breaking apart along national or ideological faultlines. Alas, I suspect that the UMC won't continue to hang together, but is likely to experience the same institutional "tearing of the fabric" at the deepest level that we've so sadly witnessed in Anglicanism. For the ultimate reality is that the Methodists face the same underlying problem that all the (former) "mainline" denominations do, i.e., the fact that two mutually exclusive worldviews and two mutually exclusive gospels are trying to live together under the same roof. And the grim fact is that "A house divided against itself cannot stand."

The Global FlyFisher - The Largest and Best Place to go for Online Fly Fishing and Fly Tying
Tie Better
Hook anatomy and hook types
Hooks B175 34011 Holden 840B 800/820 Emerger TMC700 Selecting Broken
This used to be my favourite hook. For a long time I had a love/hate relationship to this hook. On one side it is a very nice hook for tying my darling flies - the Palmer hackled Magnus types - but on the other side it is a bit on the small side when it comes to hook gap.
The picture shows one of the reasons why I hated this hook. The top row is a #2/0, a #4 and a #10 while the two lower ones are a #6 and a #8. Have a closer look at the #4. I didn't bend it- that is another problem. A lot of these hooks come with errors: skews, bends, open eyes and worse. I used to buy one hundred at a time, and often five of them could be trashed immediately. Of the rest there would always be a few with open eyes, where the tying thread slipped in and frayed. I hate that!
Lately I've also fallen in love with shorter hooks with a wider gap, like the Partridge John Holden or the Tiemco 811S.
You can see the difference between the same fly made on these two different hooks on the picture hereby, or on the color pictures of the long and short version of the Umbrella in The Fly Gallery.

Oh come on, do you really 'know' any of the candidates? Seriously?
You can gain a bit of insight on individuals when you see them doing interviews or if you've read/seen news items on them.
Maybe a bit. But I can't imagine you could get significant insight into these people, especially considering that they are putting out a public image. I mean, he voted sideways, not because he saw her being a bitchy idiot, but because he hasn't seen anything at all. It boggles my mind.
Hrm, also, is it just the angles involved in the photos, or does she have a bit of that 'not level' eye thing, where one eye is higher than the other? Ya know, Shannon Daugherty style?

On Friday, electric motor and generator manufacturer Regal Beloit announced that it has completed its purchase of France-based Schneider Electric's RAM motor business.
Regal says it expects to generate $20 million in 2013 revenue from its new subsidiary, which manufactures hermetic motors for use in commercial HVAC. Profits should begin arriving next year, with Regal projecting that RAM will add $0.03 worth of profit per diluted share in 2014.
Regal shares reacted positively to the news, closing up 1% Friday at $54.81.

The fallout from the arrest of narcotics officer Jeffrey Walker continued Friday at the Criminal Justice Center when a judge threw out more than a dozen drug convictions tied to the admittedly corrupt officer.
"We'll look at every case, we'll look at it the same way, we'll look at the evidence, where appropriate, we'll dismiss, where it isn't we will not," said Assistant DA Robin Godfrey.
"It will be a black eye on the police department until they do something structurally different," said Public Defender Bradley Bridge.
Eighty-five drug cases have now been tossed out since Walker's arrest last May with more potentially to come. The 24 year police veteran plead guilty to robbery and weapons charges in federal court earlier this week. He was arrested in an FBI sting last May. On Monday, his lawyer said Walker is cooperating with the FBI. He predicted other officers and suspects will fall
These are dangerous people who engaged in significant criminal activity for quite some time," said Thomas Fitzpatrick, Walker's defense attorney.
"I want to get it rooted out now," Commissioner Charles Ramsey told Fox 29 on Friday following a police graduation ceremony.
Commissioner ramsey has already said a federal grand jury is investigating at least half a dozen former narcotics officers. They have been removed from street duty. Ramsey's committed to getting rid of corrupt cops.
"Anytime you can rid your ranks of a corrupt officer, it's a good day," Ramsey added. "The honest men and women who are working hard every day, they don't deserve to have guys like this working along side them, they truly don't."
Bridge says there has to be significant change at the department for corruption to end, especially in the area of narcotics investigations and arrests.
"You can't have narcotics officers being there for a continuing period of time where they are involved with large amounts of money, large amounts of drugs and very little oversight," he said.
Summer is not over just yet! Hot and humid conditions much of the week with temps in the 90's and upper 80's.
Summer is not over just yet! Today will be very hot and humid with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and mostly sunny skies. A cold front will bring some thunderstorms tonight, some of which may be severe.

This report elicits an examination of your frequent clickers and whether they are the audience your brand is looking to reach. This is fundamentally important to consider before selecting click-through rate (CTR) as a campaign metric.
My own research suggests something similar to comScore/Starcom. The analysis is constrained to an audience of just clicks and not Internet users.
However, the results show a similar skew to the comScore/Starcom results. In a sample of 200,000 random clickers taken in March 2012, I found that 40 percent of the clicks were produced by 20 percent of the clickers.

9 Steps to Building a Content Marketing Strategy
Over the past few years,
there has been a lot of buzz about content marketing. Blog posts touting that the key to social media is good content abound and many books have been written about it. It should be obvious that content is important to social media, or any marketing for that matter. The actual commercial that you put on the
air is vital to your television strategy and the actual advertisement is vital to your print strategy. Yet, because social media is free, and because the technology creates a barrier for some, we seem to have forgotten the importance of content.
Content is vital to the success of any social media effort – what you actually talk about matters. As we have become more comfortable with the tools of social media and amassing our friend/fan/follower counts, we're now figuring out that content, or what we actually say, matters too.
Why Content Marketing?
But developing a solid content marketing strategy isn't just important as a social object to be posted in Twitter or on Facebook. It's also a strategy that can support search engine marketing and branding and positioning.
In an era of permission-based marketing, brands need to provide value in order for consumers to pay attention to them, and increasingly, that value is found in content. Providing the right content when and where your consumers want it in a

Next year's Nexus is the one to have???
After sitting down to think about my next purchase, the Galaxy Nexus, my first Nexus device, and thinking about processor developments, I came to the conclusion that the next Nexus is definitely the one to have.
Every Nexus seems to come out in the winter. The Nexus One was the first (and in my eyes only) Nexus that came out with class leading, drool worthy hardware. Note, I'm not saying anything about how good the phone is, is directly related to drool worthy hardware. I've come to understand that the Nexus devices are all about showing the best Google optimisation.
The Nexus S came out just before the dual core phones started hitting at the end of Q1 '11. Though because of it's optimisation, people still love using it today. Topolsky and Myriam Joire among the people singing it's praise.
The Galaxy Nexus is coming out just before we are going to see a slew of quad core beastly phones to debut at CES and MWC and which will be hitting at the end of Q1 '12.
After quad core SoC's? Well my guess is that it will take a while to optimise quad cores and the architecture will change to increase the bandwidth within the cores rather than adding more cores. (I'm guestimating from the PC market). Which means the next Nexus, probably arriving in winter '12, will be best placed not to have drool worthy hardware, (mainly thinking about CPU/GPU) not to be massively outdone by the summer.
Of course, guessing processor development is kinda like sticking your finger in the air?
Any better guesses???
