Video production and the professionals that practice
it will be continue to rebound and, in time, prosper.
Individuals and organizations that i have spoken to
realize that, somehow through all the hurt and tears,
we must press on. Press on they have! At the time
we roll to press, so many have called and told of simply
amazing stories of how this production was completed
or how the production community in NYC rallied to each
other, putting aside the fact that days before they had been
fierce competitors. It makes extremely proud to be a
part of this tremendous business. It is a tough business.
But we all have one thing in common. We are passionate
about what we do and, once we commit to project or
event, we will see it through to completion. This is one
project we will all see through together.

From a young age Thuto had the privilege of enjoying the superb wildlife areas of Botswana as his father was directly involved with tourism and conservation. This led to a childhood interest and exposure to the secrets of the wild.
Continuing his education at Treverton College in the foothills of the majestic Drakensberg Mountains in neighboring South Africa, Thuto continued to fine tune and hone his natural bush skills and passion for the wilderness through hiking, walking trails and horse riding.
After school, he attended a full time Travel & Tourism course, also undertaking volunteer work at Hluhluwe Imfolozi Game Reserve before returning to Botswana. Beginning his career at Khama Rhino Sanctuary he quickly moved to Wilderness Safaris as a lodge guide within the Linyanti Concession, being part of the team for approximately 4 years.
Having an insatiable interest in the differing ecosystems of Botswana, Thuto joined the growing Explorations division in early 2006, enhancing his natural sense for guiding and his personable rapport with guests over a safaris duration. He is an entrenched and integral member of the Explorations team and is fast becoming a guide frequently requested by operators and repeat guests alike.

New Orleans, La. — The Reverend John C. Raphael, a tireless preacher who committed himself to addressing the ills outside of his church's walls, has died of cancer. He was 60.
"He was such a charismatic person, he had a way of befriending people and making them come to him. He was believable because he was real," said Catherine Raphael, widow of Pastor Raphael.
With his deep voice, Rev. Raphael often talked about what he believed he was called to do on the streets of the city and beyond.
"So many have given up on themselves and I want them to know I have not given up on them and really God has not," said Rev. Raphael in December 2008 during a rally against violence.
A former NOPD cop, Rev. Raphael ministered to the faithful at the New Hope Baptist Church in Central City where he served as pastor. He also worked diligently to help those in the community caught in the grips of poverty, drugs, and crime.
"This morning my heart is heavy as the city of New Orleans mourns the death of Pastor John C. Raphael, Jr. of New Hope Baptist Church. I have personally relied on the wisdom and counsel of Pastor Raphael over the years, not just because of what he said, but because of how he lived. Pastor Raphael will be dearly missed," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu.
He continued, "Whether he was preaching on the corner, fasting for days on MLK, mentoring young people, or challenging us all to do more to end the death and violence on our streets, Pastor Raphael was consistent and responsible in challenging us all to do our part to reflect the love of God and improve our city. May our thoughts and prayers be with the Raphael and New Hope families."
Standing inside the church where members and family had gathered Tuesday afternoon, Mrs. Raphael exhibited strength and resolve.
From his signature "Thou Shalt Not Kill" signs posted around the city, to vigils, and even camping out on the Claiborne Avenue neutral ground, Rev. Raphael never shied away from his mission to convince the city's young men and women to stop the bloodshed. A type of fervor that sometimes gave his wife pause.
"Actually I was thinking, Lord, please do not let anybody kill this man out here on this neutral ground, sleeping, and I was fearful for him," she said.
His dedication to humanity stretched to Africa, the Caribbean and other faraway lands.
"He just had a big impact on everyone, on kids, on me, for sure because I learned from Pastor Raphael, how to love and how to care," said Germaine Steib, one of the musicians at the church who enjoyed Rev. Raphael's powerful sermons.
Others in the community flocked to the church upon hearing the news.
"There are a lot of people that died in this community without the finances to even bury them. He brought them to this church, did everything to give them a very good send-off," said Pastor Matthew George of the Berean Presbyterian Church.
And though Rev. Raphael faced a formidable disease, his death has shaken the community.
"John, and I say John affectionately, John and I grew up together. His grandfather, who was a pastor, and my father was a pastor, [they] were very close friends," said Rev. C.S. Gordon, pastor of the historic New Zion Baptist Church.
He said Raphael was effective in all arenas. "John had passion in the pulpit as well as outside of the pulpit. He could relate to those in the church and those outside of the church," said Rev. Gordon.
And as Pastor Raphael walked the streets trying to improve the lives of others, his church members, family and friends say they will continue to do the same.
"Yes, yes, there's no reason not to because it's such great work, and it's the work of the church…We'll go on because he would want us to, this is what he would expect of us and after 30 years of walking beside him I'll have to go on," said Mrs. Raphael.
According to Mrs. Raphael, on Tuesday, July 2, a public viewing at the New Hope Baptist Church will take place from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The church is located at 1807 Lasalle Street. At 7 p.m. a special service will begin at the church.
On Wednesday, at the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for Performing Arts, there will be public viewing from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Then at 11 a.m. the funeral service begins.
Besides his wife, Rev. Raphael is survived by a son and grandchild as well as a host of other relatives.

Whits Down 11, Rally to Win 4th Straight
News Release Date:
Saturday, December 12
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- With first-year guard Kelly Peterson scoring 14 points and grabbing 13 rebounds, Whitman College rallied from an 11-point halftime deficit to knock off Eastern Oregon University 56-52 Saturday night on George Ball Court in Sherwood Center.
Kelly Peterson
Winning its fourth straight game, injury-riddled Whitman improved to 5-3 on the season while dropping the Mountaineers to 6-5.
With Whitman up 56-54 in the closing seconds, Eastern Oregon had a chance to force overtime but Salena Leavitt missed two free throws with just 1.7 seconds left on the clock.
Peterson, who also had three steals and three assists, pulled down the rebound and was fouled. She made both free throws to polish off the Missionary victory.
|Mary Madden
Mary Madden, a
first-year forward and Peterson's high school teammate in Huntington
Beach, Calif., added 13 points and seven rebounds for Whitman. Seniors
Michelle Krall and Hilary White chipped in with 13 and 12 points,
Whitman shot just 33.3 percent for the floor for the game but hustled for 17 offensive rebounds and outboarded Eastern Oregon 40-27 overall.
Eastern Oregon scored the first four points of the game and never trailed in the first half. The Mountaineers shot their way to a 33-22 lead at the break, making five of six 3-point attempts while shooting 50 percent from the floor during the first 20 minutes of action.
Michelle Krall
Whitman outrebounded Eastern Oregon 19-15 in the first half but made just eight of its 27 field goal attempts (29.6 percent).
Samantha Flett's 3-pointer opened the second-half scoring and widened Eastern Oregon's lead to 36-23. White countered with a two-point bucket for Whitman, but the Missionaries took another injury hit when junior starter Anna Forge went down with an apparent knee injury at the 18:21 mark.
Whitman, which started the game with three key players already sidelined by injury, stayed within reach over the next few minutes thanks to three free throws by Peterson and a 3-point bomb from Madden.
Krall, who was hobbled to start the season, scored seven unanswered points and blocked a shot on defense as Whitman sliced its deficit to 41-38. The Missionaries finally pulled even at 42-42 when Madden hit a jumper and Emilie Gilbert, a first-year guard, swished two free throws.
With just under seven minutes left to play, Krall drove the lane and canned a short jumper for Whitman's first lead of the night at 44-42. She added two free throws at the 6:17 mark to keep the Missionaries in front 46-44.
The Mountaineers forged two more ties, but White's driving layin from the wing and Madden's two free throws kept Whitman on top 50-48 with 3:39 left on the clock.
After Eastern Oregon's Shaylee Neilsen made just one of three free throws, Peterson drilled a 3-pointer from the top of the key for a 53-49 Missionary lead with three minutes remaining. Neilson connected 30 seconds later from the 3-point line to knock Whitman's lead back to a single point.
Those were the last points the visitors would score, however. Krall drew a charge with 1:41 remaining, and Peterson grabbed two offensive rebounds, the second of which led to a White free throw with just 15 seconds left.
After Eastern Oregon misfired on its last chance to tie from the free throw, Peterson pulled down her 13th rebound and iced the game at the other end with two free throws.
Leavitt paced Eastern Oregon with 12 points and
five assists. Flett and Ashlee Michelson scored 11 points
apiece for the Mountaineers.
Whitman lost to Eastern Oregon 62-53 late last month in a tournament game played in Caldwell, Idaho.
Whitman continues non-conference play next Friday when it travels to Lewiston, Idaho, to play Lewis-Clark State.

NRF expects retail container traffic to increase
February 17, 2012-- Casual Living,
The National Retail Federation expects import cargo volume at the nation's major retail container ports to be down 6.8% in February from the same month a year ago, but should show year-over-year increases through most of the remaining first half of 2012.
This is based on NRF's monthly Global Port Tracker, which was released this week and, as usual, was produced with consulting firm Hackett Associates.
"With consumer confidence building, retailers are optimistic that the economy is recovering but are continuing to be cautious with their inventory levels," said Jonathan Gold, NRF VP for supply chain and customs policy. "Merchants want to be sure that growth will be sustained and that demand will be there to meet supply."
U.S. ports followed by Global Port Tracker include: Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Hampton Roads, Charleston and Savannah on the East Coast; and Houston on the Gulf Coast.
These ports handled 1.17 million Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) in December, the latest month for which after-the-fact numbers are available. That was down 6% from November since holiday merchandise was already on the shelves but up 2% from December 2010 and brought 2011 to a close at 14.8 million TEU, up 0.4% from 2010's 14.75 million TEU.
One TEU is one 20-foot cargo container or its equivalent January 2012 was estimated at 1.17 million TEU, down 3.3% from January 2011, and February, historically the slowest month of the year, is forecast at 1.03 million TEU, down 6.8% from a year ago. Increases are expected to resume in March, forecast at 1.18 million TEU, up 8.6% from last year. April is forecast at 1.25 million TEU, up 2.4%; May at 1.28 million TEU, down 0.7%; and June at 1.28 million, up 3%. The first half of 2012 should total 7.18 million TEU, up 0.5% from the same period last year.

I'm not a football genius by any stretch of the imagination, but I do read a lot on the Huskers, and I'm a huge fan.
From everything I've read and seen I feel like most people are missing something from the Nebraska/SDSU game last Saturday. First let me name the obvious things. The Jackrabbits came out to play the game of their lives, and they pulled it off. Nebraska started flat, played flat, and just never seemed to find a rhythm. Taylor Martinez played like a redshirt freshman and made a lot of mistakes. The defense only gave up 3 points but their performance was anything but dominating. If Nebraska had been playing a better opponent they most likely would have lost. There's a lot that this team can take away from this game to learn from and improve on. But there's still that sick feeling in your gut and that hint of worry that says, "It's a freaking FCS school!??? If we can't dominate them, what happens when we play a good team!!!?" At the end of the day, it was a moral loss.
That's the obvious stuff that you should know by now. But if you happened to hear Bo Pelini's post-game press conference, you probably heard him put a lot of the blame on himself and the coaching staff. He said things like "We got out-coached," or "We didn't put them in a position to succeed."
This is the same coaching staff that came into the Big 12 championship last year as two touchdown underdogs and put Nebraska in position to win that game. Their game plans have been proven time and time again to be excellent, especially against good teams. Look at the Virginia Tech, Oklahoma, Texas, and Arizona games last season. All were games that excellent coaching strategy not only gave Nebraska the chance to win, but in the case of Arizona- dominate.
So what that leaves me asking is how the heck does Bo Pelini and staff get "out-coached" by South Dakota State? You can't tell me that South Dakota State's coach John Stiegelmeier is in the same league as Mack Brown, Bob Stoops, and Bill Snyder. He's a good coach, but if he was in their league he probably wouldn't be at SDSU.
What happened was this. South Dakota State was pegged as one last "tune-up" before the big games begin. SDSU coaches knew that if Pelini and staff didn't pull out anything too fancy to dominate Washington then they sure as heck wouldn't against SDSU. Pelini knew that even if his team had a mind-boggling poor performance, they would probably still beat SDSU pretty easily due to the talent gap. It seems to me that Pelini and Watson came out with basically the same game plan against SDSU as they have in the other 3 games. After 3 games of film to watch, SDSU could see more clearly than anyone else that Nebraska's has only run a basic offense that has gotten huge plays off of confusion and mistakes by the opponent. John Stiegelmeier knew that Nebraska would do the same thing against them, so he had his defense completely prepared to stop the run...and they did. On defense, he knew Pelini would stay in the same formation that was weak against the run, so they ran. It was pretty obvious and because SDSU knew what Nebraska was going to do all week, they prepared, and they came out ready to stop it.
That's why it was so close. Nebraska's coaching staff wasn't going to change anything unless we were somehow losing that game. They were going to do the same things we've done in the first 3 games because that will give Nebraska an advantage against K-State and Texas. And Nebraska coaches knew that even if SDSU managed to stop it, Nebraska would still win. Did Pelini want this game to be 17-3? No, he wanted dominance and mistake free football, and he didn't get that. Did Pelini get outcoached? Yes, he did in this game, but in the long run by holding back and keeping the same game strategy even though it wasn't working, he gave Nebraska an advantage...especially against Kansas State.
K State will most likely come out to stop the run like SDSU did. Look for K State to try to run the ball all night. But look for Nebraska to come out with plays on offense and formations on defense we haven't seen yet this season that will stop K-state from having success on the ground, and new plays that will help Nebraska's offense to have success.

Damn The Light Promotions Presents MIDNIGHT SPECIAL Rolling Stones Tribute Tonight
Tonight, May 2nd, 2014, Damn The Light Promotions (a nightlife based production and promotion company founded by Mike Greco and MaryAnne Piccolo) brings their monthly tribute event "Midnight Special" to the lower eastside rock and roll club The Delancey. This all-star evening will showcase some of New York City's premiere vocalists from both the downtown rock and roll scene and theatre community.
Throughout five decades of shifting tastes in popular music, The Rolling Stones have kept rolling, adapting to the latest styles without straying from their roots as a lean, sinuous rock and roll band with roots in electric blues. In all aspects, theirs has been a remarkable career. Founded in 1962, The Rolling Stones' origins date back to the boyhood friendship of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, forged in 1951. While making the rounds of London blues clubs, Jagger and Richards met guitarist Brian Jones. Soon, the trio of Jagger, Richards and Jones became roommates and musical collaborators. The Rolling Stones landed an eight-month residency at the Crawdaddy Club, where they attracted a following of fans and fellow musicians. By that time, the group's final lineup had been set, with founding members Jagger, Richards and Jones augmented by drummer Charlie Watts and bassist Bill Wyman. Indeed, the Stones would come to epitomize the darker, bluesier and more boldly sexual side of rock and roll in a kind of ongoing counterpoint with the Beatles' sunnier, more pop-oriented vistas.
Jagger/Richards songwriting team would come to define the Stones' sound and sensibility. But it was in 1965 that the Stones discovered their own voice with the singles "The Last Time" and "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction. The group's subsequent singles further pushed the envelope of outrage, which the Stones were learning to work to their benefit.
The Stones celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2012. Through their five decades as a band, no one has yet stripped the Rolling Stones of their title as the World's Greatest Rock & Roll Band. In 2002, Keith Richards had this to say in USA Today about the group's improbable longevity: "People thought it couldn't be done. We never thought of trying it. We are just here. It's a vague mission you can't give up until you keel over."
This month's performers include Aaron LaVigne (Spiderman, Rent), Kiara Danielle (Mary Poppins), Tommy London (The Dirty Pearls), Breedlove, Nicki B, Kirby Brown, Michael Cavadias, Adam Enright, Brett Hellings, Dave Patillo, MaryAnne Piccolo and Danielle Tyler.
The evening will be under the musical direction of Mike Greco (keyboards). The full band line up will include Jimmy Caputo (bass), Joe DiBella (drums) and special guests Brian and Mike Dudolevitch of The Nuclears (guitar).
Doors are at 11:00pm with a $10 entry. Performance starts at midnight. The Delancey is located on the North East side of Delancey Street between Clinton and Attorney, at the base of the Williamsburg bridge. Call 212- 254-9920 for more information.

Lugaru Review (PC)
Posted by David Zerolink Vizcaino, Jan 27, 2009 12:47
When most people think about Martial Arts games involving animals, they usually think of turtles, pandas, and even skunks. The one animal people would never expect to be like Bruce Lee is a rabbit. Not only is it a rabbit doing martial arts, it's a rabbit going up against wolves. In real life wolves>rabbits. In Lugaru, from Wolfire Games, it's just the same. Until the main character, Turner, changes things.
I won't go into details about the story, which is pretty much what you would expect from a martial arts game: shallow. What I can explain is the combat system. This is the type of game that tries to cater to multiple play styles. Luckily, it succeeds in that aspect relatively well, while still punishing those who repeat the same moves. Every time the same move is repeated, you earn less and less points. For some it's no big deal, but to others, specifically people who love to get high-scores and bragging rights, it will encourage you to try different strategies constantly. Lugaru also has an excellent counter system, where EVERY attack can be reversed and counter reversed, which keeps you on your toes later on in the game.
The game itself can be difficult for people new to Lugaru, especially people who have not gotten used to the game's single attack button, and those who spam that attack button with no real strategy and timing. Even though the game has only one attack button, it's context sensitive, meaning that it will react differently based on what keys you press and your current situation. For example, if you sneak, unnoticed, behind an enemy and click the attack button, which is the left mouse button, you get an instant kill. In contrast, you can be spotted, but if you attack an enemy on the ground, by using a weapon, you can still score a one hit kill. Not that it's easy to do.

The election outcome in Western Australia was greeted with relief by most parties given the unusual conditions in which the campaign was contested. The Australian Labor Party (ALP), in particular, did not experience the electoral losses which had been widely expected. The party had suffered a severe and unexpected setback in the polls following the Tampa incident involving asylum seekers and the 11 September terrorist attacks in the United States. The drift away from Labor in Western Australia was compounded by the announcement in mid-September that the Gallop state Labor Government planned to introduce a tax on expensive suburban properties (which it later retracted). These events had the effect of destroying any electoral gains that had been made by federal Labor in the first six months of the year (West Australian, 19 September 2001). The swing away from Labor was confirmed by the party's internal polling which revealed that it would lose all four of its marginal seats in Western Australia (Canning, Cowan, Stirling and Swan) in the House of Representatives as well as fail to secure the newly created, and notionally Labor, seat of Hasluck.Fortunately for Labor, the worst fears of party strategists were not realised. In fact, the party regarded the result in Western Australia as "particularly pleasing" (media statement from Stephen Smith, 26 November 2001). The ALP managed to retain 3 of its 4 marginal seats and to win Hasluck. The swing against the ALP on a two party preferred basis was slightly less than half of the national average (1.08% in the west compared to the national average of 2.01%). The ALP made a small gain of 0.95% in its primary vote in the House of Representatives in contrast with the 2.26% swing against Labor nationally. At least 9 out of the party's 15 candidates in the lower house increased their margins with substantial gains in Kalgoorlie of 7.44% (which it did not win) and Cowan of 4.14%. Despite a 5% drop in its primary vote in the Senate (33.32%), the ALP easily retained its 2 Senators.The Liberal Party also had reason to feel satisfied with its gains in Western Australia, particularly in light of the poor performance of the Liberal Party at the state general election 10 months earlier. The Liberals had suffered a major defeat at the 10 February election with its primary vote dropping by 8.74% (Australian Government and Politics database). This was one of the worst election results attained by the party in 51 years and there was apprehension that this result might be repeated at the federal election. Despite the concerns of party insiders, the Liberals managed to increase its primary vote by 3.24%. It retained the seat of Kalgoorlie against the expectations of many in the party including the Prime Minister (West Australian, 22 October 2001). The Liberals regained the seat of Canning, which it had lost to the ALP in 1998, with the effect of increasing the size of its Western Australian contingent in the House of Representatives from 7 to 8 members. The Liberals also returned 3 Senators, 2 on primary votes and the third with the assistance of preferences from the National Party and Pauline Hanson's One Nation party (One Nation).Many of the small parties could also salvage something positive from the final results even if most did not win representation. This was a difficult campaign for small parties and Independents given the political polarisation over the attitudes to terrorism and refugees which characterised the election. Although the vote for small parties and Independents in the House of Representatives was 3.96% less than 1998 figures, both the Greens WA (GWA) and the Democrats managed to increase their primary vote. Support for the Democrats rose by 0.70% to 4.66% in the House of Representatives. The party also managed to secure Andrew Murray's re-election to the Senate despite fierce competition among a number of high profile candidates for the sixth Senate vacancy. The vote of the GWA increased by 0.94% to 5.99% in the House of Representatives. Despite narrowly losing to the Democrats in the Senate, the GWA managed to gain more primary votes than the Democrats in 13 out of 15 House of Representative electoral districts.Even One Nation had grounds to claim that it was still a significant force in Western Australian politics. While it suffered a substantial electoral setback in losing one third of its support, the decline in its primary vote was not as great as that experienced by the party in others states, particularly Queensland and New South Wales, where its primary vote was effectively halved. One Nation achieved 6.26% of the first preference votes cast in the House of Representatives and 6.31% in the Senate making it the third most successful party at the election.The only party that had little to celebrate from the election outcome was the National Party. The long term decline in the party's primary vote in the House of Representatives continued, dropping 0.29% to 1.02%. The Nationals also failed to increase substantially its state wide share of the first preference vote in the Senate despite running a high profile candidate, Hendy Cowan, a former deputy premier and leader of the state party. Cowan attained 1.93% of the primary vote which was an increase of just 0.67% from the previous federal election. This was an unsatisfactory result for the Nationals because Cowan was the party's best hope of electing a National Party Senator from Western Australia since its last representative, Drake-Brockman, resigned from politics in 1978.Parochial politics: Preselection and preferencesThe most distinctive features of the Western Australia campaign were not the policies of the parties or the final election scores but the internal machinations of parties, particularly in relation to the preselection of candidates and the negotiation of preferences. A number of parties struggled to keep preselection battles from spilling into the public domain. Labor experienced problems in Kalgoorlie when the candidate they had preselected for the seat in 1998 (Butson) decided to run as an Independent against the official Labor candidate. This was a frustrating outcome for Labor because Kalgoorlie was seen as a potentially winnable seat on the basis that it had been held continuously by the party for 15 years until 1996 and had been won by the Liberal Party in 1998 on only 28.08% of the primary vote (Australian Electoral Commission 1998). Butson's presence not only threatened to split Labor's vote but his decision to direct preferences against Labor in the seat weakened the electoral position of the party's official candidate (West Australian, 8 October 2001).One Nation also had its share of preselection dramas when the WA party's state executive and the party's founder, Pauline Hanson, clashed on the matter of local Senate preselection. Hanson had objected to Graham Campbell being preselected to the number one position on One Nation's Senate ticket. Hanson's major complaint was that Campbell had made derogatory remarks about her in the past and that his association with the League of Rights brought the party into disrepute (ABC Public Record, 4 May 2001). Hanson threatened to resign from the party leadership and run as an Independent if the WA state executive defied her by endorsing his candidature. Hanson's insistence that she have the final say on the matter put her at loggerheads with the party and led to a public declaration from the vice president of the party that the preselection of candidates was a decision to be made by the party and not by Hanson (ABC Public Record, 22 May 2001). Hanson's authority was undermined when the 23 members of the WA state executive ignored her wishes and voted unanimously in support of Campbell (West Australian, 2 July 2001).There was public brawling within the Liberal Party over preselection in the Senate. The decision by the serving WA president of the state Liberal Party, David Johnston, to seek preselection led to a fierce fight for the first three positions on the Senate ticket as none of the three serving Liberal Senators up for re-election had indicated an intention to resign. The party's decision to preselect Johnston resulted in Senator Winston Crane being demoted to the unwinnable fourth position on the party's Senate ticket. Crane, who had previously occupied the number one spot on the party's ticket in 1996, appealed the decision on the basis that proper procedures to determine Senate rankings had not been observed. When the decision was confirmed, Crane lashed out saying that he might consider running as an Independent or even as a One Nation candidate (ABC Public Record, 23 April 2001).Crane was not the only Liberal Senator candidate to express displeasure about the decision to preselect Johnston to the number two position. Senator Ross Lightfoot was also unhappy about being placed behind Johnston and accused senior party members of using staff to stack branches (West Australian, 3 July 2001). Lightfoot believed that elements within the party were actively seeking to prevent his re-election to the Senate because of his vocal support for the party to swap preferences with One Nation (West Australian, 12 November 2001). There appeared to be some truth in Lightfoot's claim when it was revealed that a senior Liberal party member, who was a strong One Nation critic, had urged Cowan to stand for the Senate as a way of jeopardising Lightfoot's chances of election (West Australian, 14 July 2001).Intra-party brawling on preselection had implications for inter-party negotiations on preferences. This was particularly true for the conservative parties. The fierce competition for preferences among parties and candidates produced a number of unusual preference arrangements. Crane's demotion to the number four position on the Liberal's Senate ticket resulted in his decision to adopt an unorthodox preference strategy that risked disciplinary action from his party. Crane posted a letter to over 710,000 households across WA asking electors to ignore the official instructions of the Liberal Party and to place him in the number one position on their ballot papers (West Australian, 5 November 2001). Crane's letter did not encourage voters to allocate their subsequent preferences to his Liberal Senate colleagues but only requested that they give him their first vote (letter from Senator Winston Crane, not dated). Lightfoot was also concerned about his chances of re-election. He had been shunned by many of the other parties contesting the Senate election as a consequence of his unpopular pro-One Nation views. The Liberals for Forests (LFF), the National Party, the Australian Democrats, the ALP and the GWA all ranked Lightfoot below either his Liberal running mates or Cowan in a bid to prevent his re-election. This represented a threat to Lightfoot's hopes of reelection given that the Liberal Party vote in the Senate could be eroded by the presence of other conservative groups such as the LFF, the Nationals and One Nation. However, the decision of One Nation to favour Lightfoot in their preference allocation had the effect of neutralising the tactics of other parties to defeat him (West Australian, 29 October 2001).Lightfoot was alone in being discriminated against by the preference decisions of other parties at the election. One Nation candidates continued to be isolated by the mainstream parties in Western Australia. Earlier in the year, One Nation had been given reason to believe that the Liberals in Western Australia were willing to permit their candidates to trade preferences with One Nation (Australian, 30 July 2001). The defeat of the Country Liberal Party (CLP) at the Northern Territory election, a loss which had been largely attributed to the decision of the CLP to trade preferences with One Nation, provided the anti-One Nation elements within the Western Australian Liberals with the opportunity to force a reversal of the earlier decision (West Australian, 21 August 2001). While the Liberal Party's decision would normally have provided grounds for One Nation to initiate its anti-sitting member preference strategy against all parties, political circumstances dictated otherwise. The Coalition Government's tough stance on asylum seekers forced One Nation to abandon such a strategy in order to avoid alienating potential supporters in Liberal held seats who were pleased with the Government's hard line immigration policy (West Australian, 9 October 2001). Instead, One Nation opted to place the GWA and the Democrats last on their how to vote cards in the House of Representatives and the Senate. The Liberals were favoured with One Nation preferences ahead of the ALP in the Senate and in 12 of the 15 Western Australian lower house seats.The decision by the Western Australian branch of the ALP to issue a split ticket, dividing its preferences between the GWA and the Democrats in the Senate marked a significant departure from the nature of Labor's allocation of preferences. This was the first time in three federal elections that the GWA would not be the beneficiary of all Labor's preferences in the upper house (Australian, 23 October 2001). Both the GWA and the Democrats regarded access to ALP preferences as critical because the ALP typically has a higher Senate remainder than the Liberals. Labor's decision to split its preferences was made by the state party only after pressure from the national body. The offer by the Democrats at the national level to give preferences to the ALP in 15 marginal seats (none of which were in WA) was viewed as important for Labor's chances of winning Government. The Democrats added further pressure by threatening to assign preferences away from the party in its four marginal seats in Western Australia if the ALP did not agree to a deal over Senate preferences. To minimise the ire of GWA over the deal with the Democrats, Labor was forced to agree to a series of policy concessions on environmental matters. Without this concession, GWA had indicated that it planned not to support Labor with its preferences in the lower house (Greens WA Press Release 25 October 2001).ConclusionThe result of the election in Western Australia did little to alter the political make up of party representation from the west in the federal parliament. Nevertheless, the election prompted a great deal of vigorous political activity both in the public arena and within political parties. It demonstrated the critical role which parties play, for better or worse, in the electoral process by selecting candidates and trading preferences. Such activities are never simple and provide a good example of the ways in which the complexities of running for office in a system of representative democracy can be accommodated.

I was reading this morning about Maurice Jones-Drew ripping the Jaguars. This guy for years has been one of the best running backs I've seen in the NFL and the Jaguars used to have an incredible running back duo with him and Fred Taylor. He seems very dissatisfied with his team, so I thought I'd see what Colts fans thought about a what if scenario:
What if Maurice Jones-Drew became available. Would you as a Colts fan like to see the Colts pick him up? I know it is not probably the best time with the Colts having just aquired Donald Brown, whom I think is AWESOME!!! But the Colts running game still hasn't shown that great of a spark. I like Donald Brown and Mike Hart, but I don't tend to see the production out of Joseph Addai that I would expect for a starting running back. As a Colts fan, for years I've seen Maurice Jones-Drew rip the Colts for tons of yardage and I think it would be cool to see him wearing a Colts uniform.

For those of you who regularly read my blog, you'll know that every Friday I compile a list of free patterns or tutorials related in some way to doll making, usually on a theme, such as Halloween or fairies or a theme based on a technique. This week I decided the theme is simple - free cloth doll patterns that I've found on the net that are new or at least new to me. Here we go, I think this round up of links has some very cool patterns:
Judi Ward has got a brand new free pattern on the web called Wide Eyed Wendy and she is adorable. Click here to see her and download the free pattern.
Michelle Pearson designed this Fairy Godmother pin doll who is just full of personality. Click here to get the free pattern.
This felt fairy pattern does not have an accompanying picture of the finished doll, but I'm pretty good at seeing finished shapes from flat patterns and I think this pattern would make a lovely fairy.
This free Hope the Angel Pattern by Arlene's Originals I've long admired on the net but for some strange reason the links on the page never worked for me - I couldn't figure out how to get the pattern and instructions, but I finally figured a way to access the links. Here is the pattern and here are the instructions.
If you like your dolls to be a bit simpler but funky, then try this doll from Smooch.
If goddess dolls are your thing click hereto see three down-loadable goddess doll form links on the left hand side. There is a bird goddess, a tiny goddess, and a butterfly goddess.
The artist who created the goddess doll forms uses clay faces, however, you could print or trace these faces onto fabric and use them on goddess forms.
I hope something in there has got you inspired. Go forth and create in cloth!

Hi all! Well, I intended for this piece to be a weekly article after every game, but school's been in the way, and as much as I would like to say that this is more important than my school, I know that's not the case. Well, they don't call us the Cardiac Cowboys for nothing. Again, we took a game to the limit--and then some. Winning 27-24 against the Steelers in overtime? Such a thrill. I guarantee we will cause a heart attack somewhere if we haven't already. Anyway, without further ado, here are the Things I Think.

It's no secret I'm a Dez fan, but this really has been a breakout year for Dez. As much attention as he has received, I don't think you guys realize how good he is right now. He's 10th in the league in yards. 3rd in TDs. He has 10 TDs over the season. To put that in perspective, he has double the number of TDs Megatron has. He leads Andre Johnson by 6 TDs overall. That's otherworldly. He already has 1,087 yards.
2. Defense is being held together by the Force.
I have no idea how he defense held the Bengals to under 20 points. I don't know how they stopped the Steelers twice late in the 4th quarter. All I know is that they've been playing very very well, and at least some of the credit should go to Rob Ryan. Give the man credit, he's done his job. I guarantee you he's doing the best he can possibly do, and that's probably better than any other D coordinator. We need him back next year, along with the secondary coach, linebackers coach, and even the D line coach. They're all doing an excellent job.
Well, those are the things I think. What do you think?

Rihanna Inks Up in the Big Apple
Making a late night appointment for the long session, Rihanna got some new ink at Bang Bang tattoo parlor in New York City on Saturday (January 11).
Arriving at midnight, the "Umbrella" singer emerged at 5:00am to admire her new tattoo with the artist.
Wearing a white T-shirt and navy blue jacket, the 25-year-old actress checked out the piece located on the inside of her right wrist - a cross with designs around it.
Earlier that night, Ri-Ri headed to the Barclays Center to watch the Brooklyn Nets defeat the Miami Heat.

Titanic - The Aftermath
She is the most famous shipwreck of all time; a story that made the front pages of every newspaper. But this was not just a story that enthralled and fascinated at the time, 100 years on - we're still talking about it, and a new generation is now learning the lessons of Titanic.
In the last of her special reports marking the anniversary of the Titanic disaster, Mel Barham looks at the aftermath of the tragedy - how it was reported in the papers and how those individuals from the North West played a pivitol role in the future of travel at sea:

Wow! I Know that there is still a lot of bigotry here in the USA be it white against black, black against white, brown against black or white and vice verse but the idea of actual Racism, the belief that certain races of people are different on the evolutionary scale...man how stupid is that! Steve, good on you brother, I would have done the same. It just amazes me, and hurts me to see people who are so ignorant that they think this way. I saw this when I moved to the South in 1966. I came from Mass. and the only Blacks in town happened to be my neighbors and good friends. Then to see basically good people from the South so ignorant to actually think there is a difference in Black and White as humans just blew my mind. These people did not hold anything really against the Black folks and did not dislike them at all, they simply did not think they were 'equal' as far as being humans! I was thunderstruck and angry to say the least.

I too have heard of Vidor,Texas,many years ago.I the early 1990's I retired to a small resort community in central Arkansas and became an officer there.,after having worn the badge for twenty five years,A good friend of mine was the town constable in another small community one mile away.This is the Bible Belt and full of Baptist churchs.The Baptist church in the CFounstable's city burned one night(arson).The day before,the church had accepted membership of an Afro-American family,in the area.The K.K.K> and C.S.A. both claimed responsibility.For those who are unaware of the C.S.A.,this is the Covenent Sword and Arm of the Lord.A white supremist group ,who claim to be religious which was founded by mostly ex-cons and has been active in the area for the past three decades.

Did someone moved the hands of time back to the 50's. This may be off topic some however, when my Dad married Mom they moved to the Kansas City, MO area. My Mother was full blooded Mexican and was dark skinned. She told me horror stories of the treatment she received as she did not speak english and was of Mexican decent. This story proves it is still alive and well.
Bump Matt and Marly! If they wanted to change then those who choose not to should pack their Chit and find a nice place outside of America to practice their Black arts (Pun intended)!

Well written and insightful article. The closing rings true as well--particularly in view of your experience, Steven.
Still, what took me aback was how Vidor had evolved into a kind of complacency. It was trying to change, but not all that hard, and sometimes wanted to be left alone. And to a great extent, that explained why Vidor has not quite escaped its past.

Vidor rang a bell, but that might be because of King Vidor, the famous Hollywood director who I believe was the father of the man who founded Vidor, Texas.
A quick search yields lots of references to KKK activity in Vidor. This photo was purportedly taken on one of Vidor's main streets in 1985. I believe at that time KKK language was not yet defined as hate speech. Funny how a racist message becomes fueled. In the photograph, we discover how the proximity between LEOs protecting the Right to Assembly and the signs and symbols of terrorism seem almost to blend into a single message.
I will leave it to the view what that message seems to say.
I have never heard of this town in Texas until I had the pleasure of visiting my son in Kingswood, Texas. (A Houston, Texas suburb.) We were talking on the phone and I told him I needed to stop for fuel! He excitedly told me not to stop in this town and to get fuel before or after I get to Vidor, Tx. Because of their racist attitudes.
Well, after being told that I made it a point to visit this peace of heaven! Sure enough, he and this article was correct!
I pulled into a gas station in that town and my wife went inside the store there to use the bathroom! I was pumping gas. I then went inside and asked the clerk where my wife was because I did not see her! The clerk responded, "Oh, the lady she went to the restroom on the side of the building.".
Then one of Vidor finest came in to the store and stood in the first aisle and just stared at me, so I stared back! That went on for about 5 minutes or so and then my wife came in and I swear this idget turned beet red, but did not say anything. I then walked back to the car to finish pumping gas! It was a little chilly outside so I put on my windbreaker that has police on the back of it and returned to the inside of the store.
I then purchased a couple of items and my wife and I then walked back to the car to leave, then this idget got back in his car and ran my tag!
When will this BS stop!
I was a law abiding citizen in a place I should be allowed to be in without being intimidated by the local yokels I firmly believe had I not put on my jacket. This event would have turned ugly!

Wonder where Joe Biden is hiding these days?—
Janis Quaile (@janisq) May 16, 2013
The VP delivered a commencement address at the University of Pennsylvania on Monday. And on Tuesday, he made headlines for embracing the "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" school of gun-control thought. But as the IRS, AP and Benghazi scandals make for a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad week at the White House, Twitter users note that Joe Biden seems to be muzzled again.

A new weight loss drug has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Arena Pharmaceutical's anti-obesity pill Belviq helps one to lose weight permanently. It was approved for adults who are obese or overweight with at least one medical complication for example diabetes.
The drug as first denied approval by FDA after it was realized that it had a possibility of causing tumors after it was revealed that it could cause tumors to animals. However, after extensive research, it was found out that it had little risk of tumors in humans.
According to a press release by FDA, Belviq "does not appear to activate" a chemical pathway that was linked to the heart problems seen with fen-phen. It went on to say that the drug acts on a different chemical pathway in the brain, which is believed to reduce appetite by boosting feelings of satiety and fullness.
Studies from Arena showed that patients taking the drug had modest weight loss. Patients on average lost just 3 to 3.7 percent of their starting body weight over a year. About 47 percent of patients without diabetes lost at least 5 percent of their weight or more.
Possible side effects of Belviq include depression, migraine and memory lapses. The challenge of weight loss drug development is in safely turning off one of the body's fundamental directives: to eat enough food to maintain its current weight according to experts.
This becomes the first drug to be approved by FDA in over a decade.

Twenty-four-year-old Bray Harris is an active member of the Louisiana Army National Guard and after years of training and deployments, including a nine-month stint in Afghanistan, he found himself back in Lake Charles last year in the heat of adversity.
"I got back on the eve of Thanksgiving and I came home to my mom having a heart attack and my dad having prostate cancer and I came home to care give," said Harris. "I thought I was going to be in Lake Charles for a month or two then end up moving to Arizona or Colorado and as luck would have it, I just fell in love with being back home."
Falling back in love with the people, foods and of course, the family of Southwest Louisiana, he recently became a new homeowner. Now, living his own version of the American dream, he's hosting Thanksgiving for the first time for his family in honor of his dad who passed earlier this year. Thanksgiving was his favorite holiday.
"My dad taught me how to cook and this is my first Thanksgiving without him and his legacy and memories are living on in the dishes that I've prepared today," Harris said.
As he put the finishing touches on those dishes, with the smells lighting up the kitchen, he took a minute to reflect on what it all means.
"Thanksgiving is just a symbol of all of the great blessings and joys that we experience in life," said Harris. "It's a reflection of how we can be resilient in difficult times and remember that we still have something to be thankful for."
It's wasn't the food or the house, but the family that Harris says makes his first Thanksgiving truly special.
"I'm so blessed to have wonderful people, family and friends in my life," he said.

Notwithstanding my immediate post game comment (influenced by several $3 pints of Sam Adams), I am pragmatic enough to realize Karl Dorrell is not going anywhere. The "Pac-10 COY" has earned another season because of our "9 wins" on our cream puff schedule heavy on the tough Pac-10 games at home and the easy ones on the road, sprinkled in with the worst Oklahoma team in recent years. Dorrell will be back next year. That said we do have to make some big changes in this program and needs to happen soon. Here is a set of sober suggestions for next season:
2. We need to shake up the defensive coaching staff. Kerr has got to go, and probably a few others. It's not just a matter of schemes or personnel; our defense just plays with poor fundamentals. Poor tackling, bad angles, etc. This is not a well-coached defense. The personnel up front was lacking this year but I have to think that there are at least 50 college DC's out there who could have done better than we did today. This defense is worse than last year's; worse than the '98 defense. Maybe the worst in school history. How does a game like Arizona happen? Plus Kerr is not a dynmaic recruiter; rarely do recruits even mention him.
3. We need to get some big running backs. Mo Drew is a great player, but we can't go on without some backs who can run with power and break tackles. MD is a home run hitter but he does nothing to wear opposing defenses down; we need to bring back the power running game.

Like driller said below I am not ok with TrOHans owning us for another year. This has got to end.
