Adventures Of Everything
By Brian Brooks
Reproduces 85 pen & ink and watercolor drawings as drawn and uploaded to my Facebook page daily in the Fall of 2012.
Any and all objects: under, over, and including the sun come together as instantaneously strange bedfellows and enjoy each other's company.
Do objects exist only to fulfill their definition to us humans, or do they have lives of their own as they are hurled about?

So you just built a new computer and 32×32 textures aren't quite good enough for you? Then maybe you should try MegaDoku Light.
This is a scaled up version of Dokucraft Light, using 64×64 texture resolutions rather than the 32×32 textures used in our other packs. This allows for double the detail, while keeping to the same design and style, giving your worlds and mega builds the same beauty that you are used to from Dokucraft. Just expect your frame rate to drop significantly.

First Opium War: March 18, 1839 - August 29, 1842.
Also called the First Anglo-Chinese War.
British victory
Casualties: 69 British troops, approximately 18,000 Chinese soldiers.
Results: Britain gets trade rights, access to five treaty ports, and Hong Kong.
Second Opium War: October 23, 1856 - October 18, 1860.
Also known as the Arrow War or the Second Anglo-Chinese War, although France joined in.
Anglo-French victory
Casualties: Western powers, approximately 2,900 killed or wounded. China, 12,000 - 30,000 killed or wounded.
Results: Britain gets southern Kowloon. Western powers get extraterritorial rights, trade privileges. China's Summer Palaces looted and burned.
Background to the Opium Wars:
In the 1700s, European nations such as Britain, the Netherlands, and France sought to expand their Asian trade networks by connecting with one of the major sources of desirable finished products - the powerful Qing Empire in China. For well over a thousand years, China had been the eastern end point of the Silk Road, and source of fabulous luxury items. European joint-stock trading companies, such as the British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company (VOC), were eager to elbow their way in on this ancient exchange system.
The European traders had a couple of problems, however. China limited them to the commercial port of Canton, did not allow them to learn Chinese, and also threatened harsh penalties for any European who tried to leave the port city and enter China proper. Worst of all, European consumers were crazy for Chinese silks, porcelain, and tea, but China wanted nothing to do with any European manufactured goods. The Qing required payment in cold, hard cash - in this case, silver.
Britain soon faced a serious trade deficit with China, as it had no domestic silver supply and had to buy all of its silver from Mexico or from European powers with colonial silver mines. The growing British thirst for tea, in particular, made the trade imbalance increasingly desperate. By the end of the 18th century, the UK imported more than 6 tons of Chinese tea annually. In half a century, Britain managed to sell just £9m worth of British goods to the Chinese, in exchange for £27m in Chinese imports. The difference was paid for in silver.
However, early in the 19th century, the British East India Company hit upon a second form of payment that was illegal, yet acceptable to the Chinese traders: opium from British India. This opium, primarily produced in Bengal, was stronger than the type traditionally used in Chinese medicine; in addition, Chinese users began to smoke the opium rather than eating the resin, which produced a more powerful high. As usage and addiction increased, the Qing government grew ever more concerned. By some estimates, as many as 90% of the young males along China's east coast were addicted to smoking opium by the 1830s. The trade balance swung in Britain's favor, on the back of illegal opium smuggling.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon has vetoed a controversial bill concerning union dues and public state workers.
Under current law union dues for those workers are automatically withdrawn from paychecks.
Under the new legislation workers would have to give annual permission for dues to be taken out of their paychecks.
The measure would also require unions to get yearly consent from members to spend a portion of their fees on political activities.

The Lyons High School football team did the community proud on Saturday afternoon (September 21). They played their first game since last week's flood, against the Clear Creek Gold Diggers, on an away "home" field (Longmont High's field) in front of an enthusiastic crowd of fans, who were there to support their kids and community, and to get their spirits lifted. It was a win/win/win situation. There was a tremendous outpouring of love and support as friends and neighbors got to see and visit each other under less stressful circumstances,

The journey of an endurance runner does not begin at day one of official practice each season, but rather is a continuum spanning years. Here in Lyons, the community is fortunate to have attentive and thoughtful coaches to help guide young runners as they develop their potential both on and off the field. Now in its fourteenth year, the St. Vrain Cross Country Invitational meet proved once again to be a great place for the Lyons' community to showcase their commitment to Lyons' renowned small school running program. From parking to concessions to leading races

More consumers are buying smartphones, but they're not embracing mobile banking at the same pace -- mostly because they have a misplaced fear of it, according to several studies by research firm Javelin Strategy & Research.One tip was "be wary when choosing apps". This reminded me of what a friend described to me about an app he had downloaded for his smartphone. It was a voice recording app. His young son played around with the app by recorded screams. Even after those recordings were deleted, somehow they were being automatically played for no apparent reason when he was answering phone calls.

Sugar: Apprentice claimant 'underestimated me'
Lord Sugar said in a statement that Stella English's claim was "a derisory attempt to smear [his] name" and her reputation "is now in tatters".
I am pleased that the tribunal has returned this verdict and feel vindicated in the judgment that myself, my companies, the BBC, the TV production company and my staff acted properly throughout Ms. English's employment.
There was never a case for us to answer but her need for money and fame meant that the whole system was subjected to this charade.
I have been cleared of a derisory attempt to smear my name and extract money from me.
– Lord Sugar
The allegations were without substance, and I believe this case was brought with one intention in mind - the presumption that I would not attend the tribunal, that I would not testify and that I would settle out-of-court, sending Ms. English on her way with a tidy settlement.
I'm afraid she underestimated me and her reputation is now in tatters. I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them, no matter how much time and money they might cost me.

The latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control show 29 million Americans have diabetes.
That is up from 26 million in 2010 and translates to nine percent of the total population.
Of that number, one in four don't know they have the disease.
Another 86 million Americans are pre-diabetic, meaning they have an increased risk for full-blown diabetes in the near future.
Researchers say poor diet and a lack of exercise is likely contributing to the rise in cases.
Experts say diabetes-related complications cost more than $245 billion in medical costs, lost work and wages in 2012.

(I know this is going to make you too giddy to get any work done today, so apologies in advance.)
The lead singer of Survivor will be doing the national anthem for tonight's game in Chicago.
Go ahead: tell me this song doesn't scream #93:
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive
So many times, it happens too fast
You trade your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive
It's the Eye of the Tiger
It's the Thrill of the fight
Rising up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor
Stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all
With the Eye of the Tiger
Also, don't forget what tonight's game is really all about:
Scarecrow versus blow-up doll. Seems like a no-brainer to me.

An Exclusive Excerpt of Carl Pelini's Novel
Last week, news broke that Carl Pelini is, among other things, an aspiring novelist. Here at Tunnel Walk of Shame, we've been blessed with an advanced excerpt of one chapter of the book! Gotta say, it's pretty scintillating stuff. Hope you enjoy it.
By Carl Pelini
Chapter 6: Film Study
Midnight crept quietly into the film room. Cal Panini's eyelids battled gravity as yet another mobile quarterback decimated his defense on the TV's in front of him. Fucking dual-threats, he thought, taking a another dignified sip of Sailor Jerry's from his FAU tumbler. Neat, with chopped up sleeping pills, just the way he liked it.
For years, the nights hadn't been kind to Cal, and tonight was no different. The pressure of his first head coaching gig coupled with the intense pangs of heroin withdrawal made Cal feel like maybe the whole world was out to get him, just as he'd always suspected.
The last thing a headache like that needs is a loud knock on the door, and yet, there it was.
"Great! Who is it now?!" screamed Cal, carelessly brushing a stack of old Hustlers into the "sin bin" he kept under his desk.
The door creaked open, and what slid through brought a tear to the old ball coach's bloodshot eye.
"Is this a bad time?" inquired a mysteriously tall drink of water.
Cal read her t-shirt: MS. TEEN BROWARD COUNTY FLORIDA 2007 SECOND RUNNER-UP. It fit snugly over her misshapen breasts and tucked in unevenly to the elastic waistband of her stonewashed jean shorts. "No," smiled Cal, "it's not a bad time at all."
"My name's Brenda, and I need to talk to you." This chick clearly meant business.
"I've got all the time in the world for legs like those," said Cal, melting her heart and lady zone simultaneously.
"Please refrain from that kind of talk," replied Brenda. She was a classic hard-to-get case. But Cal was a classic about-to-get-hard case. "I'm here to talk to you about your conduct here at Florida Atlantic University. I'm a special prosecutor hired by the university."
Brenda's nuanced flirtations sent Cal's head into a tailspin. His palms sweated, or was that just condensation from the glass of Sailor Jerry's? With these humid Florida nights, sometimes it was impossible to tell. Flustered, Cal pulled out his trusty pack of Newport Slims, and lit the end of one without breaking eye contact with Brenda. Immediately, he realized he'd lit the wrong end, and the cigarette erupted in flames. But Brenda got the message.
"We've had reports of repeated drug use, alcohol abuse and misconduct with female staff members, college students and a smattering of senior citizens," continued Brenda, clearly saving the best for last as a subtle hint to Cal about what she was really there for.
"I see my reputation precedes me," said Cal, puffing a minty halo of Newport smoke into the ever-decreasing space between he and Brenda. She'd moved to sit at the other side of his desk. He didn't ask her to. He didn't have to.
Cal told his story for the millionth time. The drug use and alcohol abuse was medication, from his days in 'nam. He hadn't fought there, but he traveled there on a bender in 2006 and had been trying to erase the memories from his mind ever since. You go to bed with a chick only to find out she has two penises, and then we'll see how much alcohol you need to keep the monsters in the closet when you turn in for the night, cowboy.
Cal moved onto allegations three through seven. In his mind, he cursed his legendary libido for getting him into yet another jam. But secretly he hoped that same libido would land him in a whole different kind of jam: lady jam. A vagina, for the layperson.
"Guess this wouldn't be the first time my tongue got me in trouble," said Cal, with a wink.
"That's consistent with what some of your character witnesses told me," said Brenda. "Like your little brother, Bob Panini."
Bob, of course! At that moment, Cal could've hopped a Greyhound bus to Nebraska to choke out his little brother. "That son of a bitch." Bob Panini was always the favorite, the altar boy, the one who kept his bulbous nose cleaner than a fake Vietnamese prostitute's second penis. It figured he would've tried to badmouth Cal, he was always jealous.
Cal explained Bob's jealousy to Brenda; how he'd wanted the job at FAU, the beauty queens, the lifestyle, all of it. He talked about the coeds, who Bob hunted with the veracity of a free safety, only to watch their fluttering hearts lead them into Cal's waiting arms. He talked about Tyler Smartinez, the boy Bob called "the son he never had" despite the fact that he has a son. The picture he painted wasn't pretty, but Cal was never much into painting, unless it was the cool body painting thing they did to Kate Upton in the SI swimsuit issue. Cal pondered what he'd have to do to get that job, creating an awkward 15-minute silence, which Brenda finally filled.
"It's pretty clear that you have some serious issues, Cal," she said.
It was time to quit fucking around. "Brenda, what's my job here?" asked Cal.
"You're the head football coach, kind of," answered Brenda, trembling with anticipation.
"And how did I get that job?"
"You were hired after successful stints as a defensive coach at other schools," said Brenda, probably breathlessly.
"That's right. You know what they used to call me? The D Coordinator. Because I know how to manage the D. I know how to motivate the D. I know where to put the D to make the D successful. Do you catch my drift?" said Cal. He was now fully spread eagle on the desk, the hand-sewn seams of his Dockers nearly bursting open. "The question you gotta ask yourself, Brenda, is if you can handle my D."
"Mr. Panini, I think I've heard enough." said Brenda.
"Perfect." Cal smiled. "I like a lady who likes a little less talk and a lot more action."
Brenda stood up and glided through the still-open door. Then, she turned back. "This is my card. I will need to find you a good lawyer. Please call me when you're not visibly intoxicated and you're ready to talk about next steps."
Cal swung his leg back up on the desk and reached for his bottle of Sailor Jerry's. "Will do, Brenda. And you let me know when you're ready to talk… about the D."
The door closed. But not on opportunity. Cal had Brenda right where he wanted her.
Legal disclaimer: this is a parody. I mean, when the real thing comes out it may be more similar to this than I could ever imagine, but for now, it's a parody.

Michigan: Illegal aliens with DACA apply for driver's licensesPosted by: Malcontent
Categories: Illegal Alien Nation
Comments Off
WYOMING, MI — A group of Grand Rapids area young undocumented immigrants applied for their driver's licenses today, Tuesday, Feb. 19, the first day the Michigan Secretary of State will issue the limited-term licenses.
"I am happy because I will be able to have a driver's licenses, but I am also afraid the limited term date will create confusion and discrimination," said Sigifredo Pizana, 21. "Some people will continue to think we are here illegally, when we are not."

About Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals
New - Q1: What is deferred action?
A1: Deferred action is a discretionary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial discretion. For purposes of future inadmissibility based upon unlawful presence, an individual whose case has been deferred is not considered to be unlawfully present during the period in which deferred action is in effect. An individual who has received deferred action is authorized by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to be present in the United States, and is therefore considered by DHS to be lawfully present during the period deferred action is in effect. However, deferred action does not confer lawful status upon an individual, nor does it excuse any previous or subsequent periods of unlawful presence.

Men's Soccer Loses Tough One to Grace Bible
The Kentucky Christian University men's soccer team traveled to Grand Rapids, MI take on NCCAA Division I opponent Grace Bible College and lost 3-1.
The game started off on a bad note for the Knights when a hand ball in the box occurred less than a minute into the game, giving Grace a penalty kick. Grace was able to score off of the penalty kick and add in another goal before the first half was over.
Sophomore Colin Varney was able to score a goal for the Knights with 25 minutes left to go in the game to bring the score to 2-1 and give the Knights some life. That was quickly taken away when GBC countered and scored less than a minute later giving them the 3-1 lead that they would end the game with.
Head Coach Jeremy Miller was not happy with his team's effort in the first half and knows if they played a full 90 minutes they would have had a better chance to compete and possibly win the game, "There was no real effort in the first half, it was like the team didn't even get off the bus. In the second half we played really smart and hard, but we can't expect to win games if we only show up for one half. It has been a tough week for us with a number of injuries and a lot of games in a short time span."
The Knights will end their weekend in Michigan with a game against Kuyper College at 11am Saturday.

Top Ten Accomplishments
The Zoo Society successfully completed, and exceeded by 3%, the $12.5M capital campaign for African Elephant Crossing (opened May 2011), helping create one of the best elephant exhibits in the United States and building capacity for both the nonprofit Cleveland Zoological Society and its partner, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
The Zoo Society has built the largest membership base in Northeast Ohio – 42,500 households (or approximately 186,000 individuals), ensuring the Zoo continues to offer affordable family fun and meaningful opportunities to learn about wildlife.
In 2011, the Zoo Society celebrated 13 years of our historic operating agreement with Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, providing in that time more than $20 million to the Zoo in operating support, educational outreach and funding for conservation projects here and around the world.
The Zoo Society provides $350,000 annually for international conservation programs that work to preserve wildlife in wild places in Northeast Ohio and around the globe.
The Zoo Society distributes 600 complimentary Zoo memberships to foster families in our community annually.
The Zoo Society surpasses $1.75 million in online donations annually.
Twilight at the Zoo, the largest fundrasier in Cleveland, hosts more than 7,000 guests enjoying live music from 18 of Cleveland's finest local bands, and in one evening raises more than $500,000 in support of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Using proceeds from the capital campaign for African Elephant Crossing, along with support from other generous donors, the Zoo Society was able to secure funding for new state-of-the-art veterinary diagnostic equipment for the Sarah Allison Steffee Center for Zoological Medicine, including digital radiology, thermography, and ultrasound units.
The Zoo Society established the first-ever endowed chair at the Zoo — The David Steffee Chair of Veterinary Medicine.
The Zoo Society helped build Cleveland's profile as a tourist destination — the Zoo attracts 1.2 million visitors and, together with the Zoo Society, delivers an economic impact of $100 million to the region each year, meaning that for every dollar invested, the Zoo and Zoo Society deliver a five-fold return.

Looks like Apple is starting to monopolize digital music sales, just like Intel does with processors. No wonder they use Intel CPU's in Mac's!
Check out this link about Intels unfair practices: http://breakfree.amd.com/en-us/antitrust.aspx
LOL, there are a LOT of other "options" out there besides Itunes, believe me.
There are. I use Amorok in Linux and I don't know about Iphone, but it works for my Ipod.
Can I offer a few significant corrections?
The only problem that prevents installing songs purchased from other stores is the DRM. Users *can* have the choice of the iTunes store or somebody else's store: the problem is that "somebody else's store" prevents the user from doing that because that store places the restrictions, not iTunes.
Also, not every song available from the iTunes Store has DRM. 2 million of the 6 million songs are available as standard MP3s which can be played anywhere. Search Google for "iTunes Plus". This was big news a year and a half ago. Additionally, Steve Jobs has repeatedly called on the industry to stop using DRM.
Check your facts before writing such a defamatory article.
Welcome to HH Forums.
Though Steve Jobs has called for the death of DRM Itunes only has a small chunk of the songs available as unDRMed MP3s. Stores like Amazon Unboxed offer a much larger selection. It sounds to me that the RIAA called his bluff. Apple does not want to get rid of DRM.
Again, I'm going to have to refute this. The music industry hates seeing Apple collect a share of the revenue while incurring minimal costs. They also hate how Apple, having significant market share, can dictate terms. If you recall from last February, Apple was going to have to pay increased royalties (15 cents per 99 cent song rather than 9 cents). Rather than cowering, Apple said it would shutter the iTMS were that the case.
The music industry has realized that in order to get their music on the ubiquitous iPod (and now iPhone), they are going to have to either sell music through the iTMS, or sell music unencumbered by DRM. Recognizing opportunities lost to Apple's dominance, the music industry is moving toward throwing DRM overboard, hoping to not only gain more revenue, but gain back some control.
So, I'll once again state that "Apple Blocking iTunes Competition for iPhone" is an absurd title for a fallacious article. The only reason a song purchased online won't play on an iPod is because the store you purchased it from didn't sell you an MP3, it sold you an encrypted song. Blame that store, not iTunes.
Don't take my word for it, check it out for yourself:
(Full disclosure: I don't own an iPod, or a Mac, or anything made by Apple. I'm just pissed off by this ridiculous article.)
I think you better re-read the title of this article, though I'm glad it has spurred such lively discussion. There is a question posed here for all to ponder and no judgment passed per se. Devin poses the question with respect to Apple's resistance to let folks take their music to another machine that they may own or use it with other software. I personally ("full disclosure") own an iPod and feel it's a joke that I can't take the music on it to any other machine or software player I own. I own the machines, I own the music, why can't I play it on any machine/platform I want?
The article is not ridiculous. It's merely exposing the situation as it stands today. However, being blinded to both sides of the equation, that is ridiculous, with such a passionate post like this. If you owned an iPod and experienced some of the limitations first hand, you might realize this.
That said, I buy DRM free music and use that on my iPod (which is a nice player of course) and wherever else I want and don't often buy from the iTunes store, just because of the lack of flexibility.
Mike, I believe you've missed the point of this article. I understand that Apple sells DRM-free music, however, this article is not about Apple DRM. I never once in the article said you couldn't bring in other music purchased elsewhere, the issue that I was trying to bring to light was the new iTunesDB encryption.
The first version of iTunesDB was easily cracked, and once that happened, any third party developer could design software to sync with the iPod. What Apple has now done, is to revamp and buff up the encryption and release a new version for the iPhone and 2nd gen iPod touch. This new version has yet to be cracked, and as I said in the article, when possible cracks were discussed, Apple unleashed their lawyers.
This article isn't about a song not playing on an iPhone, its talking about the method by which you can get the song onto your iPhone. Yes, you can buy songs at places other than the iTunes store, but as of right now, there is no other legal way of getting the song to your iPhone without using iTunes. That is where the competition is being blocked, not due to the DRM, but due to iTunesDB, and the inability for third party software makers to have access to the code to allow their programs to sync like the iTunes application. I would also suggest reading the original Reuters article, as there is more information available there as well. Thanks.

The budget plan outlined by President Schrum and the Board of Trustees Executive
Committee has been a wide source of controversy over the past few weeks, as many people have
begun to question whether some suggested measures will affect many of Southwestern's current
programs, students, and faculty.
Over the coming years, the suggested changes include increasing the student to faculty
ratio from 10:1 to 13:1, building a new Science Center which will cost $24 million, merging the
Smith Library Center with the Information Technology Services to save a projected $250,000,
cutting retirement benefits from the current level of $30 million, and, most strikingly, laying off
and restructuring jobs which will affect 37 staff positions.
Although the strain the economic downturn places on the university's ability to provide
its services is significant, many of the new changes being suggested could be harmful to
Southwestern's low classroom size, nationally recognized library, and retired and current faculty
and staff. Other alternatives should therefore be considered before taking such drastic steps.
While these are certainly tough decisions and can be difficult both to avoid and to
implement, there are also various other areas, which could potentially save money. During recent
years, a total of $500,000 has been spent on studies regarding whether Southwestern should have
a football team or if Southwestern should change its name. Further, after benefits, President Jake
Schrum's salary is nearly $600,000. Adjusting these two figures could at least help pay for the
$2.8 million budget shortfall of the university this year, which would lessen the need to layoff
and jeopardize so many staff positions.
Southwestern also has a $250 million endowment currently, which is very large for a
university of its size. Spending a small portion of this would alleviate the burden felt both by
students paying tuition and by many staff workers worried about whether they will be able to
keep a job.
The issue of combating tough economic conditions with layoffs is also not specific to
Southwestern, as it is happening to universities across the country. However, higher education's
inability to contain costs in a meaningful way has led many people to realistically suggest that
universities should begin to spend some of their own resources before putting the burden on staff
and students by raising tuition and using layoffs.
The best course of action is to consider this point of view not as running against the
university but for it, and as we follow this issue into the future, we must always keep in mind the
larger goal of making our system more liable, effective, dynamic, and less dependent on student
tuition and benefit cuts.

Guys as the season has lumbered on, and we haven't had many things to be happy about until yesterday, I have every once in awhile told you about a Chiefs member who has been working like there's no tomorrow. In fact yesterday he had a record performance that may stand the test of time.
Yes sir its our own timeout king, Squirty McGuirt! He has set an all time record for one timeout bottle squirts of 39 squirts to 10 team members during yesterdays game during the 3rd quarter. What a time to step us his game when we most needed it in the 3rd quarter. His work alone may have been the catalyst that helped the Chiefs win this game in a solid way.
We have many more positives for this off season than last year and I am so looking forward to what will unfold off the field with our team. So next time there's a timeout, take a moment, watch and cheer for Squirty McGuirt to do his thing!!!

WVU continues to make changes to its special teams units to
improve what has been a poor start to the season.
Corey Smith, the team's punter and kickoff specialist, will
not retain either starting position on Saturday against Connecticut.
The senior from Bunker Hill, W.Va. won both jobs coming out
of camp and into the season but has struggled with consistency on his punts and
has had two punts of just 14 yards in the past two weeks.
"Punt team, we only had one opportunity [against Bowling
Green], but it was a repeat of what we saw last week," head coach Dana
Holgorsen said Tuesday.
In Smith's place, redshirt freshman Michael Molinari will
get the first start of his career at punter. To this point, the Parkersburg,
W.Va. native has been the team's holder, but has not gotten a single rep with
the punt team.
"We're going to let Mike punt it this week, just to kind of
see how he does," says Holgorsen. "In practice, we clearly think Corey was
better, so we did that, but Corey's struggling a little bit with it right now,
so we'll get Mike out there and see what he does. Corey will still be there if
we need him and if we're not liking what we see out of Mike, we'll put Corey in
there. It may be like that the rest of the year."
Despite Smith's struggles on punts in recent weeks, he
appeared to be getting a good leg behind his kickoffs, even though his coverage
unit didn't always do well in taking advantage of strong kicks. Still, he will
be replaced in that duty as well, with Tyler Bitancurt taking over against the
On Saturday, Bitancurt got the team's last two kickoffs and
hit 69- and 49-yarders, the latter of which was a directional kick meant to travel
less distance with a greater hang time. Holgorsen was impressed with his effort
and is rewarding him with the starting job in addition to his role as the field
goal kicker.
"Maybe Corey had a lot on his plate, I don't know, but he
did a decent job with it and because we had so many opportunities, we wanted to
get Tyler in there to kick a few anyway and Tyler did an excellent job of
putting the ball exactly where we wanted him to," says Holgorsen. "Based on
performance last week, we'll let Tyler start as the kickoff guy as well. Tyler
was the [WVU special teams] player of the week last week and he's done a great
Coming into the season, it looked as though field goals
would be a chore for the Mountaineers based solely on what was shown in
practices open to the media. So far, Bitancurt has made all but one of his 10
attempts on the year and has been a strong point in the Mountaineers' special teams.
Saturday will be a chance for both Bitancurt and Molinari to
show they can do a better job than Smith and help move West Virginia's special
teams in the right direction.

Seattle Seahawks overwhelm Denver Broncos 43-8 to win first Super Bowl title
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) -- The Seattle Seahawks' mantra all season was to make each day a championship day.
They made Super Bowl Sunday the best day of all with one of the greatest performances in an NFL title game -- sparked by a defense that ranks among the best ever.
The Seahawks won their first Super Bowl crown in overpowering fashion, punishing Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 43-8. That masterful defense, the NFL's stingiest, never let the five-time MVP get going, disarming the highest-scoring offense in league history.
Seattle (16-3) was too quick, too physical and just too good for Denver, and that was true in all areas. What was hyped as a classic matchup between an unstoppable offense and a miserly defense turned into a rout.
"We been relentless all season," quarterback Russell Wilson said. "Having that mentality of having a championship day every day. At the end of the day, you want to play your best football and that is what we did today."
AP PHOTOS: Seahawks dominate, Bruno Mars heats up halftime at the Super Bowl
The Seattle Seahawks dominated play in Super Bowl XLVIII, scoring 12 seconds into the first half and 12 seconds into the second half, to beat the Denver Broncos 43 to 8. But if there were few fireworks on the field for Peyton Manning, there were plenty in the sky around MetLife Stadium as Bruno Mars heated up halftime with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Former New York Jets quarterback "Broadway" Joe Namath, who guided his team to victory in 1968 in Super Bowl III, even got into the act sporting a very furry fur coat, a nod to his earlier days in the limelight.
10 Things to Know for Monday
Oscar winner Philip Seymour Hoffman, who struggled with heroin and was found with a needle in his arm, apparently died of a drug overdose.
The quickest score in game history comes 12 seconds in; Seattle grabs two points when the ball got away from Peyton Manning.
Oscar-winning actor Philip Seymour Hoffman found dead in NYC apartment; drugs suspected
NEW YORK (AP) -- Philip Seymour Hoffman, who won the Oscar for his portrayal of writer Truman Capote and created a gallery of slackers, charlatans and other characters so vivid that he was regarded as one of the world's finest actors, was found dead in his apartment Sunday with what officials said was a needle in his arm. He was 46.
The actor apparently died of a drug overdose, said two law enforcement officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case. Envelopes containing what was believed to be heroin were found with him, they said.
Hoffman -- with his doughy, everyman physique, his often-disheveled look and his limp, receding blond hair -- was a character actor of such range and lack of vanity that he could seemingly handle roles of any size, on the stage and in movies that played in art houses or multiplexes.
He could play comic or dramatic, loathsome or sympathetic, trembling or diabolical, dissipated or tightly controlled, slovenly or fastidious.
The stage-trained actor's rumpled naturalism brought him four Academy Award nominations -- for "Capote," ''The Master," ''Doubt" and "Charlie Wilson's War" -- and three Tony nominations for his work on Broadway, including his portrayal of the beaten and weary Willy Loman in "Death of a Salesman."
Top Republicans say they support Gov. Christie, criticize ex-ally at center of bridge scandal
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- High-profile Republicans were adamant Sunday that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie should not resign from his post as chairman of the Republican Governors Association following a former ally's claim that there is evidence Christie knew about an apparently politically motivated traffic jam earlier than he has said.
The support from former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and Wisconsin U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan put Republicans on the offensive and the Democratic chairman of a state legislative committee investigating the September lane closures near the George Washington Bridge on the defensive the day Christie's state hosts the Super Bowl.
Also Sunday, a member of Christie's administration who was subpoenaed by lawmakers investigating the lane closings confirmed she had resigned. Christina Genovese Renna left the governor's office Friday, according to her lawyer. Renna had reported to ousted Deputy Chief of Staff Bridget Kelly, who apparently set the lane closings in motion with an email saying "time to cause some traffic problems in Fort Lee."
Christie, a potential 2016 presidential contender, has been going about Super Bowl ceremonial duties and has not taken questions about the scandal in recent days. He didn't respond Saturday when some spectators booed him at an appearance in New York City's Times Square. He planned to watch Sunday's game with his family from a luxury box at MetLife Stadium.
Giuliani, appearing on CBS' "Face the Nation" took aim at the credibility of two figures central to the scandal: John Wisniewski, who's leading the investigative probe, and David Wildstein, the former Christie loyalist who as an executive at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey last year ordered the lane closures after receiving Kelly's email, as someone with less than pure motives.
Obama defends himself from array of Republican criticism in Fox Super Bowl pregame interview
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama defended himself against an array of Republican criticism in an interview during Fox's Super Bowl pregame show.
The president traded barbs with interviewer Bill O'Reilly in a live interview that covered his troubled health care law rollout, the 2012 attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Libya and revelations that the IRS targeted conservative groups for extra scrutiny. "I try to focus not on the fumbles but on the next plan," Obama said.
Obama would not say why he didn't fire Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius after the failed launch of the government's online marketplace. He also declined to say that the biggest mistake of his presidency was telling Americans if they liked their health care they could keep it and argued the website is now working the way it's supposed to.
"We've got 3 million people signed up so far. We're about a month behind where we anticipated we wanted to be," Obama said
He defended against O'Reilly's questions about why administration officials initially described the attack in Benghazi, Libya, as a spontaneous mob protest of an anti-Islamic, American-made video. He rejected "the notion that we would hide the ball for political purposes when a week later we all said in fact there was a terrorist attack taking place."
Super Bowl ads go sappy: emotional spots from Chevy, Coke, light humor from RadioShack, rules
NEW YORK (AP) -- Advertisers played it safe in Super Bowl ads this year.
There were no crude jokes. Sexual innuendo was kept to a minimum. And uncomfortable story lines were all but missing. And in their place, much more sedate ads.
From the light humor of RadioShack poking fun at its image with 80s icons like Teen Wolf and The California Raisins to a Coca-Cola ad showcasing diversity by singing "America the Beautiful" in different languages, it was a softer night of advertising.
With a 30-second spot costing around $4 million and more than 108 million viewers expected to tune in to the championship game, it's was crucial for advertisers to make their investment count. The shocking ads in years past have not always been well received (Think: GoDaddy.com's ad that features a long, up-close kiss came in at the bottom of the most popular ads last year.) So this year, advertisers out of their way to be more family friendly themes: socially conscious statements, patriotic messages and light humor.
"Advertisers are getting attention but they're not trying to go over the top," said David Berkowitz, chief marketing officer for digital ad agency MRY. "A lot of brands were going with the safety from the start."
Despite increases in security measures, school shootings continue in American schools
WASHINGTON (AP) -- There's been no real reduction in the number of U.S. school shootings despite increased security put in place after the rampage at Connecticut's Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012.
In Pennsylvania and New Mexico, Colorado and Tennessee, and elsewhere, gunfire has echoed through school hallways, and killed students or their teachers in some cases. "Lockdown" is now part of the school vocabulary.
An Associated Press analysis finds that there have been at least 11 school shootings this academic year alone, in addition to other cases of gun violence, in school parking lots and elsewhere on campus, when classes were not in session.
Last August, for example, a gun discharged in a 5-year-old's backpack while students were waiting for the opening bell in the cafeteria at Westside Elementary School in Memphis. No one was hurt.
Experts say the rate of school shootings is statistically unchanged since the mid- to late-1990s, yet still remains troubling.
Radicals with a taste for violence are wild card in Ukraine's protests
KIEV, Ukraine (AP) -- Wearing masks, helmets and protective gear on the arms and legs, radical activists are the wild card of the Ukraine protests now starting their third month, declaring they're ready to resume violence if the stalemate persists.
When the protests started in late November, attracting crowds sometimes above 100,000 and visits from Western officials, the gatherings' general determined peacefulness was an integral part of their claim to legitimacy. But in mid-January, the image of placid but principled people changed sharply, to frightening scenes of protesters heaving stones and firebombs at police.
The violence was sparked by the radicals within the larger protest movement, angered by President Viktor Yanukovych's implementation of harsh anti-protest laws and increasingly impatient with the protesters' failure to achieve any of their demands. In a vivid demonstration of frustration, they sprayed opposition leader Vitali Klitschko, the towering former heavyweight boxing champion, with a fire extinguisher when he pleaded for clashes to stop.
An uneasy truce settled in days later after three protesters died, but with no government concessions apparently in the works, the radicals say they're preparing to fight again.
"We are ready for a national mobilization and complete blockade of the government quarter. The time for chatter has passed," the leader of the radical group Pravy Sektor (Right Sector), Dmitry Jarosh, told The Associated Press. The group nominally cooperates with protest leaders, but often sharply differs with their views.
Woody Allen calls Dylan Farrow allegations 'untrue and disgraceful'
NEW YORK (AP) -- Woody Allen called Dylan Farrow's allegations of child molestation "untrue and disgraceful," signaling that he would fight renewed claims dating back to Allen's tempestuous relationship with actress Mia Farrow in the early 1990s.
The movie director's publicist Leslee Dart said in an email Sunday that Allen has read Dylan Farrow's open-letter, published online Saturday by The New York Times, claiming she was sexually assaulted when she was 7 by her then adoptive father.
"Mr. Allen has read the article and found it untrue and disgraceful," Dart said.
Allen's lawyer, Elkan Abramowitz, also reacted: "It is tragic that after 20 years a story engineered by a vengeful lover resurfaces after it was fully vetted and rejected by independent authorities. The one to blame for Dylan's distress is neither Dylan nor Woody Allen."
Dylan Farrow claimed that in 1992 at the family's Connecticut home, Allen led her to a "dim, closet-like attic" and "then he sexually assaulted me." Farrow didn't specify Allen's actions, but described other abusive behavior.

Great Views, very relaxing.
Loved our stay. We had a great time on the lake and sitting on the balcony.
My family & I were in need of a vacation and we are so happy that we found Gary & Janet's 1bedroom condo!! My children & I fished EVERYDAY for 7 days either right from our balcony or when we went down to the pier. And when we weren't fishing, the atmosphere of the condo was so great that we slept most of the time that we were inside. The photos are good but when we got there, WOW!! Gary and Janet are some wonderful hosts and even brought us an iron and ironing board when we needed it. I recommend anyone to check into these condos. Just beware that we are coming back and you can't have our week!!!
Great Family Weekend!
Wow what a great weekend at the Lake house in Willis. We had a family get together and had 3 families staying here for the weekend. We had 9 people and and 1 infant staying all under one roof and it was really comfortable. Everyone had their own space and plenty of room to spread out. On Saturday we had some more family that lives in Conroe stop by for a birthday lunch and still had plenty of room for all of us! There are TV's in each room and a very big flat screen in the living room - so you can have kids shows going upstairs and a movie for the adults at the same time. The kitchen is big and has all you need - we cooked the birthday lunch for 18 people and had plenty of room and cooking utensils, pots, pans, etc to get it all accomplished. The AC worked great for the 100 plus heat, and the little sunsetter awning that is outside kept us in the shade to play in the backyard. The only thing I might add to the owner's instruction manual would possibly be some info for local swimming holes or info. on the public access swimming in Lake Conroe. We were easily able to find it after some research, but to have it in one place would be great. Thanks to Randy for a great weekend for my family to celebrate a great birthday!

Here is a short update on that Today showdown between Katie Couric and Thomas Monaghan, the Domino's Pizza founder who is now building Ave Maria University down in southwest Florida.
The tech team at the conservative Media Research Center have put up a commentary by L. Brent Bozell III that includes a video link to the crucial section of the actual interview, which included Paul Marinelli, the developer for the town that will be called Ave Maria, Fla. Watch the showdown for yourself and see what you think. Here is a key piece of Bozell's commentary:
As NBC dutifully plastered the words "Catholic Town USA" on screen, Couric began pestering Monaghan about his hope that pharmacists would not sell contraceptives there. She asked about it four times. After four denials, she started dropping the bombs.
"Some people," she claimed, think Catholic values might be "deemed wholesome, but in other ways, I think people will see this community as eschewing diversity and promoting intolerance." Marinelli refused to take the bait, and instead calmly explained that this town was open to all people of all faiths with a "traditional family value perspective." Couric was unconvinced and shot back, "Does that mean you would welcome Jewish residents?"
Here are two other great Couric moments, as she auditions for the Dan Rather Memorial Chair of Broadcasting:
"… (You) can understand how people would hear some of these things and be, like, wow, this is really infringing on civil liberties and freedom of speech and right to privacy and all sorts of basic tenets this country was founded on. Right?"
And then her final zinger, delivered with a laugh:
"Well, we'll probably be following this story, because I know the ACLU is too."
By the way, if GetReligion readers want to see a mainstream reporter working hard to be fair to people on both sides of a loaded, emotional story, check out reporter Michelle Boorstein's feature story in the Washington Post about the Soulforce Equality Ride campaign and its impact on the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities.
I won't have much to say on this particular story right now, since the CCCU is where I work. If I offer commentary on Equality Ride coverage later, I'll make sure that GetReligion readers (or even my Scripps Howard News Service readers) know about that link. I've been covering the Rev. Mel White and his Soulforce projects for ages.
I hope reporters along the Equality Ride route read Boorstein's story, and I think the Soulforce people would say the same.

Micha Bar-Am
These photographs are from "Israel: A Photobiography, The First Fifty Years," by Micha Bar-Am, a 1986 Nieman Fellow (Simon & Schuster, 1998). The photos shown, all © Micha Bar-Am/Magnum, are taken from the chapter, "Daily Bread."
Father Neophitus, Santa Katarina Monastery, Sinai, 1967. It was 3 or 4 a.m. The Greek Orthodox priest had just finished baking bread and was back in his cell for a glass of ouzo and a hand-rolled cigarette. In the morning the bread would be given to Bedouin in the area in accordance with an agreement made centuries ago, which guaranteed the safety of the small group of monks among tribes that were initially hostile.
Santa Katarina, a fortress as well as a monastery, was established by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I in the Sixth Century, at the foot of what is believed to be Mount Sinai, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. With the rise of Islam in the Seventh Century, the monks appeased the Muslims by building a mosque within the monastery compound. The monastery has notable collections of icons and Greek and Arabic manuscripts.
Taba beach, Sinai, 1982. Near the border between Israel and Egypt, sisterhood bridges the culture gap between sunbathers and Bedouin.
Fashion show, Tzriflin army base, 1973. With a fashion runway laid down on the parade ground, hundreds of women soldiers get a glimpse of what they might be wearing if they were not in khaki.
Among the roles that women fill in the army is training male soldiers in combat units—artillery, tanks, missiles—without themselvesengaging in combat.
On the train to Jerusalem, 1970. When the Temple was the focus of religious observance, it was customary to bring sacrificial offerings to Jerusalem three times a year on the holidays that coincided with harvest times: Passover, Shavuot and Sukkot. The tradition of pilgrimage continues, with variations on the theme.
Preparing for Yom Kippur, Mea Shearim, Jerusalem, 1967. At 5 a.m. on the day before the Day of Atonement, this man is taking a live chicken home for the custom of kaparot, in which he will symbolically transfer his sins to the bird and swing it in a circle above his head to disperse them. The principle is that of the ancient scapegoat custom, in which the high priest of the Temple would transfer the community's sins to a goat and send it off into the desert. The chicken, however, will be slaughtered and eaten.

HARRIMAN (WATE) – Family and friends gathered Friday night to remember a five-year-old East Tennessee boy.
Landon Robbins was found dead last Friday.
His mother Jessica Robbins told deputies that her son had an accident on a swing set. Investigators say his injuries were consistent with multiple blunt force trauma.
A vigil was held from Friday night in Harriman at Riverfront Park.
There was singing and special speakers. The crowd also lit candles in Landon's memory.
"Even if he was a mean child, no child deserves that," said Jerry Walls, his grandfather. "But, he wasn't a mean child, he wasn't rambunctious, he wasn't hyper active. He was just a quiet loving little boy, just wanted love that's all he asked for was just to be loved."
Jessica Robbins and her boyfriend Bradley Adcox are facing multiple charges including first degree murder.
They went before a judge Friday morning to be arraigned.
They'll be back in court September 18.

Jim Little said he thinks this shared quality is one of the reasons behind Sudburians' habitually strong support of the Banff Mountain Film Festival, which is visiting the city for the 16th time this year.
Because the adventure film festival tour always reaches the Nickel City in January, it also inspires Sudburians to get out and enjoy the abundant snow, he said.
"I think these films sort of stimulate that passion for our adventure," Little said.
This year's Banff Mountain Film Festival takes place at Laurentian's Fraser Auditorium Jan. 24.
It's a fundraiser which supports the yearly canoe trip by Little's third-year Outdoor Adventure Leadership students. This year, they'll be paddling down the Partridge River near the James Bay coast.
Organizers were able to choose 10 films from those screened at the main Banff festival, which took place in Alberta in November.
Little said this year's Banff festival will feature movies ranging in length from three minutes to three-quarters of an hour and featuring activities such as climbing, biking, paddling and snow sports.
Anchoring the 2014 edition of the festival is "North of the Sun" (Nordfor Sola) by Norweigian filmmakers Inge Wegge and Anne Bergseng.
The 46-minute-long film features two young Norwegian adventurers who discover their own private playground "tucked between the cold Atlantic Ocean and the rocky slopes of a remote, arctic island," the film's description said.
They build themselves a cabin out of flotsam while clearing the beach of debris, then spend the long winter skiing and surfing in the haunting low light.
Among the other films being screened are "Spice Girl" by British filmmaker Hazel Findlay, which features female rock climbers, and "Into the Mind" by Canadian directors Eric Crosland and Dave Mossop, about extreme skiing.
As an avid paddler, however, Little said he always looks forward the films about kayaking and canoeing the most. This year's paddling film, "Cascada", is just eight minutes long.
Little said he intentionally chose a shorter paddling film.
"Sometimes you get these high-adrenaline ones where you can watch kayakers or paddlers go off of waterfalls for too long, so I think the short ones are well received," he said.
Doors to the festival open at 5:30 p.m., and the films start at 7 p.m. A trade show featuring outdoor adventure services will be set up in the lobby at Fraser Auditorium.
Refreshments such as pizza and pop are available for purchase.
Tickets, which cost $15 each, are being sold in advance at Ramakko's, The Outside Store, 84 Station and Laurentian's Active Living department, as well as online at https://reservations.sudburytourism.ca/English/Tk_Select_Ticket_single.asp?SelTicket=Banff62.
Little suggests people buy their tickets in advance, as they're selling quickly this year, and may not be available at the door.

I spent most of yesterday in Norwich, CT at the Eastern League All-Star Game. The South Division was coached by Akron's Tim Bogar and the Aeros had six players there. Dodd Stadium is a pleasant place to watch baseball and the concession prices, relative to most stadiums, are excellent (2 buck hot dogs, 4 dollar 20oz beers!).
Unfortunately, the game was fogged out after three innings. Since the gates opened hours early, I was able to watch batting practice and get some pictures for LGT.
Here are the some really crappy videos of AstroCab, Barton, and Brown:

Get caught with a 'stun gun' and you'll almost certainly end up in prison. The choice is obviously yours, but I can assure you the police don't take the likes of pepper spray/stun guns lightly.
Feral scum seem to be taking over Colchester and what do the police do ??? Nothing at all !!!! The scum I've seen on the streets smoking Cannabis these days seems to go unpunished too !! Scum are not punished so they do what they want !!! Lets get tough on the yobs and return to a civilised society if that's possible !! I myself now carry mace, pepper spray and im considering purchasing a stun gun from the USA !!!

Time to Spring Forward!
Set your clocks forward 1 hour at 2 am (or whenever you go to bed). This year, Daylight Saving Time (DST) is extended one month and begins tonight for most of the United States. This new start date was set in the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to help save electricity. Daylight Saving Time, takes on new meaning when you are a parent – for good and bad. From what it will do to your kid's sleep schedule, to more time for a walk or to play at the park after dinner. Personally, the longer days put me in a better mood.
Celebrate Daylight Saving Time (DST) – for little kids to big kids.

My wifes aunt would like for me to build her a nice simple coffee and end table set. Nothing elaborate, nothing expensive. She just really appreciates having things that are custom built by someone close – just so happens, that's me :-)
Anyone use 3/4" ply for coffee and end table tops. I've used it in all my cabinet builds but never on a stand alone piece of furniture.
Any info greatly appreciated.
