Montana senior goalkeeper Kristen Hoon was named the Big Sky Conference Defensive Player of the Week Tuesday by the league office. The award is the second of the fall for Hoon and the fifth Big Sky offensive or defensive player of the week award for the Grizzlies this season.
On a week when only five of the Big Sky's 10 soccer-playing teams were in action, Hoon was recognized for helping Montana to a 1-0 victory at Utah Valley Friday night in the Grizzlies' lone match of the week and final match of the regular season. Hoon needed to make just a single save in the match.
The shutout, the team's 11th of the season, continued an ongoing trend. Montana has posted six straight shutouts, one off the program record of seven set in 1996. The No. 3 Grizzlies will take a shutout streak of 548 minutes into Friday's Big Sky Conference tournament semifinal matchup against No. 2 Portland State.
Friday's shutout was Hoon's ninth of the season, a mark that ties Natalie Hiller's single-season program record from 2000. Hoon also started and played all but 24 minutes in Montana's other two shutouts, 4-0 blowout victories against North Dakota and Eastern Washington.
(Note: The NCAA requires a keeper to play the entire match and be solely responsible to earn a shutout.)
Hoon has allowed just 16 goals this season while playing 1,727 minutes in net, a goals-against average of 0.83. That figure would be the second-best average in program history, ranking behind only Railene Thorson's 0.42 goals against average from 1996.
Hoon had a goals-against average of 1.36 while playing in 18 matches as a junior.
"I think a lot of Kristen's improvement comes down to her dedication toward wanting to be a better goalkeeper and putting in the necessary time," said UM goalkeepers coach Lauren Robertson, who has worked with Hoon the last two seasons.
"She's so coachable that she's just soaking everything in, and it's making her a better goalkeeper every day. She has a better knowledge of the game, and she's improved her communication with her defenders and her understanding what's happening in front of her."
Southern Utah forward Stacey Brinkman was named this week's Offensive Player of the Week after scoring the double-overtime goal that gave the Thunderbirds a 3-2 victory over visiting Cal State Bakersfield. Brinkman's 19th career goal made her the SUU all-time leader in goals scored.

Getting Around Old Town and Uptown in Old Town and Uptown
Getting Around Old Town and Uptown
Old Town and Uptown are northwest and north of Balboa Park, respectively. Access to Old Town is easy thanks to the nearby Old Town Transit Center. Ten bus lines stop here, as do the San Diego Trolley and the Coaster commuter rail line. Two large parking lots linked to the Old Town Historic Park by an underground pedestrian walkway ease some of the parking congestion.
Uptown is best explored by car, although several bus routes do serve the area. Both metered street parking and pay-and-display lots are available.

Lessons from Jonah
today's reading.
Jonah 1 Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and call out against it, for their evil has come up before me"...
the blog.
The story of Jonah is rich with lessons for us to draw on and learn from, and we've been looking at this story chapter by chapter. But today our reading is the entire Book of Jonah. So if you haven't done this already, go back and read the entire story all at once, and ask God to show you something different than he did through the week.
What did God reveal to you through the story of Jonah? What was the most important thing God impressed on your heart? Tami W.

The issue with Wine is not performance, but that some software simply may not run. Compatibility is getting better and better, though.
It depends on the bad companies. (686 comments)
Good companies find clever, interesting ways to advertise.
Bad companies stick with annoying banner ad type stuff.
The only ones in any possible "jeopardy" are the bad companies. People will *find* the good ones. So if anyone's going to sue, it's just the ones with a bad marketing model.
Re:This is a loaded question (951 comments)
You can fully expect something to break when you run an unstable release of Wine. Because it's an unstable release If it's for your kid, just stick with a stable (oor the current working) release and don't change it unless you know for sure the game will keep working with a new release.
I'm kind of curious about the bug report. Last I checked, most Wine devs don't seem all that arrogant to me. A bit too expecting, sometimes, maybe...
Re:Sound subsystem fragmentation (951 comments)
It's not that there's no market - I'm seeing plenty of people buying Steam games and trying out the Linux version. It's just that the market is small to the point where it could almost be considered "niche". Initiatives like Steam's just show why it doesn't have to be.
Re:So let me get this straight... (117 comments)
I don't think the term lost its weight. Most people (in my opinion) seem to very well know the difference between friends and [Facebook] friends. Facebook just used the wrong term for the entire thing. I just call them contacts.

Just introducing people to Star Trek isn't difficult at all. It's just like any other series: you start at the beginning. Now, since Star Trek consists of many different series, this simply means the start of any series will do.

Re:Oh No (212 comments)
You're right; if you don't need gaming graphics, Intel is pretty much perfect in their support.
However, once you start trying to play games with an Intel GPU you'll find that there's plenty of games that don't even want to start up, or have issues that make it unplayable (Amnesia, Psychonauts, Bastion to name a few). Note that these are all issues I'm having personally with a Sandybridge, though.
It's a pity, really. Intel's graphic driver performance is surprisingly good (esp. when compared to their Windows-based drivers). They could have gone the extra mile and make sure more games launch at all.
Re:Oh No (212 comments)
Actually, I'd say that's only partially true. I mean, the Intel Sandybridge graphics driver works great for 2D hardware support, desktop compositing and 2D OpenGL-based games. But go 3D and the driver suddenly starts coming short (f.e. a fair amount of recent Humble Indie Bundle games just won't work properly with it).
Re:THEN YOU DO IT MISTER HIGH AND MIGHTY !! (663 comments)
NVidia has the best in-house knowledge and deliberately kept hardware secrets to make these drivers. They're the ones best suited for making the drivers. And even then there's an actual group of volunteers making Nouveau out there.
By the way, Torvalds later replied to an NVidia employee (who wasn't offended by the statement at all, by the way): "I think that people who are offended should be offended."
In closing, it's probably better to just watch the talk session, since this is taken out of the context of the entire talk session, anyway.
Re:THEN YOU DO IT MISTER HIGH AND MIGHTY !! (663 comments)
That goes for Windows, too, then. It's not their OS. They just make drivers for it. It's not so strange for people from an OS that's less well supported by NVidia to complain about it.

The legendary Texas trio ZZ Top will bring their rocking blues to Davenport's Adler Theatre at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 12.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Famers -- Billy F Gibbons, Frank Beard and Dusty Hill -- will perform classic hits, ranging from "Sharp Dressed Man" to "La Grange," "Legs" and "Tush," as well as "I Gotsta Get Paid" and other new material from "La Futura" (2012), their latest album.
After touring and recording for 45 years, Mr. Gibbons said in a release: "Same three guys, same three chords," with the result being what The New York Times has called "more or less, a perfect concert."
Tickets for ZZ Top ($55 and $75) go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at the Adler Theatre Box Office, 136 E. 3rd St., Ticketmaster.com, 800-745-3000 and Ticketmaster outlets.
Formed in 1969 in Houston, Texas, ZZ Top became a huge international touring act in the '70s and were darlings of MTV in the '80s, going on to sell tens of millions of records. Their "unique hybrid of dirty blues and hard rock, incorporating new sounds and technology," earned them induction into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
This summer, the band will release a greatest hits collection called "The Baddest of ZZ Top." For more information, visit zztop.com.

Great post, Josh. I love Cal Newport's blog--and his book, How to Become a Straight-A Student is one of the best guides I've seen. If anyone has a child in college/university, it'd be a great gift!

Geronimo: An American Legend [1993]
Walter Hill's revisionist take on the American cavalry's campaign to capture renegade Chiricahua Apache warrior Geronimo (Wes Studi) is, like Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, a dark tale that both celebrates and critiques myths of the American West. Despite its title, Geronimo is really about the American cavalry officers who undertake the responsibility of recapturing the warrior, in particular the young narrator Lt. Charles Gatewood (Jason Patric), a Civil War hero who respects the great Geronimo and brokers a treaty with the Chiricahua, only to see it collapse when the army kills the tribal medicine man. Gene Hackman plays Gen. George Crook, the proud but sympathetic officer charged with bringing in the renegades who take to hills after the killing. Robert Duvall, the tough, racist army scout and Indian fighter Charlie Sieber, practically steals the picture with his cagey, underplayed performance. More complex and complicated than most Westerns, this is a Walter Hill film through and through: lean, ironic, beautiful to look at (it was shot on location against the astounding landscape of southeastern Utah), and driven by a wonderful Ry Cooder score. Don't confuse this with the 1993 TNT cable film by the same name; it confounded many viewers at the time of its release and may have been at least partially responsible for its box-office disappointment. --Sean Axmaker
Al Sieber, Chief of Scouts:
There's two dead women there...and two little kids. They scalped them all, all four of 'em. Bounty hunters. The government down here pays 200 pesos a head for women, 100 for women and 50 for those kids. They kill any Indian and then claim they are Apache. I don't see how any man can sink so low. Must be Texans...the lowest form of white man there is.

Heal from Depression
- Thursday, November 12, 2009
Take good care of your brain. If you care well for your brain, you can reduce your risk of depression that's caused by injury to brain cells. Lower your stress levels by getting enough sleep and exercise, eating a nutritious diet, and spending time regularly in prayer and meditation.
Deal with emotional needs in healthy ways. Everyone has these three important emotional needs: to feel safe, to believe in yourself as a good person, and to have a sense of power to change the world. When these needs go unmet in your life, you may become depressed. Ask God to give you the wisdom to know how to get your core emotional needs met in healthy ways.
Bring traumatic memories out into the open. If you've experienced traumatic events in the past and repressed the memories of them, they may be fueling your depression. Talk with some other believers you trust, your pastor, or a professional counselor, to work through your memories.
Overcome evil with good. Every day, ask the Holy Spirit to renew your mind and help you focus on what's true and positive. Stay close to God in prayer so you can keep Satan far away. Talk with God often about your feelings. Remember that God cares and will meet you where you are to help you get better.
Find a good counselor or psychiatrist. Research some professionals who can counsel you about your depression. Find out what their treatment approaches are and how much they charge. Then choose one and try a few visits to see if it's a good fit for you.
Expect to get better. Set a goal for yourself to feel much better within a year. Keep praying and working through your healing, trusting God to help you every step of the way.

Book Title:
Genre: Historical Romance
Starting a new series is always anxiety-producing; you hope the first book sells well in order to anchor the rest of the series. As luck would have it, The Outcast, the first in the Men of Pride County series earned a 4.5 and was an RT Top Pick for February. Since then, its gone into a second printing!
Then you have to worry if youve planted enough interest in the secondary characters to pique reader curiosity. Wonder no more
THE OUTSIDER is Dodges story, followed in November by Nobles in THE REBEL. Next year, theres Deacon and Hamilton Dodge, a brash Northern banker in a staunch, Southern, post-Civil War town who is determined to save those who dont want his help. Not being able to resist an underdog, hes immediately drawn to the fiercely flirtatious Starla Fairfax, who returns to Pride on a cloud of mystery. Confident hes the answer to all her problems and that shell be the answer to all his dreams, he offers a solution that pulls them both into unexpected danger. She wont share her secrets, but Hamilton must find a way to reach her guarded heart in time to save them both from the darkness of her past, and the perils of the present.
What a book! What a story! What a man! is what RT says of THE OUTSIDER. The type of hero women dream about, and Mrs. Wests most realistic (and romantic) character to date, is what other reviewers have said about Dodge, gorgeously depicted on the Man Alone cover.

Arts & Leisure
Enter Laughing
Playwright joins to meet funny people
Noel Lehr was drawn to Enter Laughing because of her love of comedy and her desire to meet funny people. Enter Laughing is an improvisational class led my Mary Galliani, a professional comedian, that meets on the first and third Thursday each month in Clubhouse 3, Room 9. Everyone is invited to attend and join in if wanted.
Noel has written several comedy plays and musicals. Some have even been produced in an Oceanside Community Theatre.
Fifty-eight years ago, Noel was acting in a community play when she was heckled from the audience. She showed her heckler – she married him.
Noel and her heckler, John, moved to Leisure World a year ago from San Juan Capistrano. They have a daughter, Susan, who lives close by in Naples and a son, Joe, who lives half of the year in Pennsylvania and half of the year in Southern California.
Although she was born in St. Louis, Mo., Noel feels fortunate that her family moved to sunny, Southern California where she has lived ever since.
In her professional life she taught English and special education at Wilson High School in the Hacienda/LaPuente School District.
When she had enough of that she and her son drifted into a marketing business that morphed into an Internet marketing business that is still going strong. Today, she designs websites and writes sales copy, newsletters and blogs for her own company and for clients.
In her spare time she likes to paint watercolors and try out the many activities at Leisure World.
Those who want a good laugh, come to Enter Laughing and see Noel's clever improvisations. Everyone is welcome. It's great for your health to get as many laughs as you can.
Community Sing
Ethel Carter will lead sing-along
When the Community Sing meets on Jan. 27 in Clubhouse l, at 6:30 p.m., amateur time will begin with a special piano solo from "Phantom of the Opera," offered by pianist Jean McPharlin. Other prospective amateurs need to sign in at 6 with the emcee, two copies of sheet music in hand, ready to perform for three minutes.
Ethel Carter will lead group singing. Her half-time guest will be singer-guitarist Sam Calderone.
On Jan. 13, Margie St. Clair played "Stardust" on the piano as the first amateur, followed by "Let There Be Peace," sung by Ellen Brannigan; Byong Choi, sang Gounod's "Ave Maria;" Peter Innerbickler did "Because You're Mine," and Ben Berg closed with a boogie-woogie number and "A Whole Lot of Shakin' Going On," self accompanied on piano.
Carol Robinson accompanied all soloists.
After the flag salute song leader Carmen Edwards warmed up a chilled group of Leisure Worlders with her first selection of long-time favorite songs until half-time, when she introduced popular soprano soloist Anita Ragole as her guest artist.
Anita opened with "Make Believe," a light opera favorite; followed with "Why Do I Love You?" and "You Are Love." She closed with a melodic "Moonlight in Vermont." Her presentation demonstrated the quality of her operatic voice, which was loudly applauded.
After Felicia's greeting of first-timers and Carmen's wrap-up of group singing, everyone joined in on "Kum ba Yah" to close an enjoyable musical evening.
Thanks to Joe Sabroso, book lender and stage manager; Jean McPharlin, pianist; and Felicia Ward, emcee.
Everyone is welcome to join in with others who love to sing the old-time songs.

Barbershop Singers
Group looking for more participants
The Leisure World Barbershop Singing Club has done a modest amount of entertaining for LW clubs in recent months. The group performs barbershop singing for about 30 minutes at parties, dinners and meetings.
Residents interested in barbershop singing are invited to visit the group at its weekly rehearsals, Tuesdays from 7-9 p.m. in Clubhouse 3. The club includes both guys and gals.
Many residents currently enjoy performing with a variety of entertainment groups, maybe several different ones.
"For many years, I was a member of the LW Chorale. Over my lifetime I have been part of many different musical entertainment groups ... both singing and instrumental," says Ron Volger. "It's a 'love' that lasts forever."
He urges residents to consider joining the barbershop singers.
"You don't need to feel 'almost professional,' just relax and enjoy."
Barbershop Music is a harmony of voices only, no instruments, no accompaniment. An abundance of the music is older songs, which have been around for more than 100 years, and most people are already familiar with them.
For more information about the group, call Ron, 493-2325.
Karaoke Party
Bob Smallwood remembered Jan. 29
It was a lively evening with many enthusiastic singers and a nice audience. Bill Hultquist did a great rendition of "UpTown," a Roy Orbison song. Wayne Urban put a smile on our face with "Act Naturally." We enjoyed Janice Chapman's "Somewhere There Is A Someone For Me." Bob Barnum's son, Jason, came from Catalina Island and was prodded to sing "Where Streets Have No Name." Shalla Callahan and Jerry Tester joined voices doing "Love Me Tender." Sally Glausser loves show tunes and did a lively "Singing in the Rain."Bob and Galit Slater surprised us with a visit and did "Take Me As I Am."
There were computer troubles as the lyrics cut off and on, but everyone was patient and sang right through the glitches. Golden Rain provided nice, new microphones in the clubhouse and they are appreciated very much.
Wednesday, Jan. 29, is the Karaoke Party memorial for Bob Smallwood. Wear cowboy hats and plan to sing some country tunes, which we enjoyed hearing Bob sing for so many years.
The Filipino Club is providing sub sandwiches and Betty Ballen will bring cake to enjoy.
The Karaoke Party runs from 5:30-10 p.m. in Clubhouse 1 every Wednesday. Everyone is welcome to sing or listen.

Friends of Library
Library garden renovation proposal was shared by Vanessa Morris
An informative Friends of the Library annual meeting was held on Jan. 10. Vanessa Morris, library operations supervisor, showed sketches of the new garden renovation to be provided by the Leisure World Garden Club.
Officers for 2014 are President Dolores Parker, Vice President Pat Poulsen, Treasurer Gene Smith, Corporate Secretary Joan Shramek and Corresponding Secretary Ruth Schmitt.
The holiday boutique at the Friends of the Library Bookstore was a success netting a profit of $4,600, all for the benefit of the library. The money will be used to purchase materials for residents, as well as helping to provide $12,000 in scholarships to students seeking library science degrees. Thanks to all who donated items and to those who purchased items.
The boutique has proven so successful that a year-round area for gift items and knick-knacks will be stocked on a regular basis. This will make it possible for shareholders to donate new or nearly new items for sale throughout the year. The Friends of the Library asks that items not be left outside the Bookstore when it isn't open. For those unable to bring items in themselves, a phone number is available at the desk for someone to pick up items.
Through the month of February all hard back fiction books are 50 cents. This is a great time to stock up on reading material.
Puzzles, magazines, DVDs, CDs and greeting cards are available for purchase.
The Friends of the Library is a non-profit organization, staffed by all volunteers. Bookstore hours are Monday-Friday, 9:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m., and Saturday 9:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Leisure Whirlers
Round, square dance classes offered
by Eleanor Thompson
LW contributor
All are invited to learn to square dance and round dance in class and then dance the dances at Leisure Whirler parties held in Clubhouse 4 on the first Friday of the month. Classes and parties are held around the Los Angeles area every day. Classes and parties are a great way to meet people, have good fun and get great exercise.
Gentlemen may find that special lady likes to dance. Those who don't have a special lady at the moment, may find that they become very popular when they can dance. And ladies, it's a wonderful opportunity to get all dressed up for a change. For both, it will be something else to do besides sit at home and watch those feet swell.
In the round dancing class, participants learn the waltz, tango, foxtrot, two-step, rumba, cha-cha and many more ballroom-type dances. The dances are choreographed by different choreographers. The steps for each dance are taught in class. Then at parties, the cuer tells what steps to take next. In round dancing couples dance in a large circle. The dances are very beautiful.
In the square dance class participants learn all of the calls used in square dancing. Then at parties the caller tells what steps to take next. In square dancing, eight people dance in each square. There can be many squares dancing at the same time. Square and round dances are alternated at parties. Square and round dances are danced all over the world and are called and cued in English. People can find a club to dance where ever they travel to and feel at home.
There are also classes in line dancing, where the dances are cued by the cuer. Everyone dances in lines without a partner. Participants are taught the steps that are needed and then taught each dance.
"Learn To Dance Now!" is an event for everyone who has never danced before.

Play Review
'Bare,the Musical' is solid production
"Bare, the Musical", a revival of the musical, book by Jon Hartmere and Damon Intrabartolo, music by Damon Intrabartolo, and lyrics by John Hartmere. Presented by Theatre Out, 402 W 4th St, Santa Ana, 92701, through Feb. 15, 714-220-7069, www.theatreout.com; ticket prices: $20-$25; running time 2 hours, 35 minutes.
Shakespeare wrote, "What's in a name?" If you've written a play or musical, the name is a very important choice to make. Upon receiving the press information for the musical "Bare," the initial reaction was the primary definition of the word bare, and that maybe this was a musical about nudity. It is not. Instead it is a heartwarming musical about adolescence and the baring of one's soul.
The setting is a private high school. Peter (Morgan Reynolds) and his fellow senior friend, Jason (Jared Grant), suffer from many of the angsts that confront their generation. They are both dealing with the problems of first love. Their friend Matt (Michael Noah Levine) is in love with Ivy (Krystle Cruz). Ivy has some insecurity issues that she tries to solve from by being promiscuous.
The school is preparing to put on a musical version of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." Peter talks Jason into auditioning. Jason is cast as Romeo. Ivy is cast as Juliet. Peter is cast as Mercutio. The overweight Nadia (Kelsie Piini) is cast as Juliet's nurse. Nadia is not happy. "Why can't the fat girl play Juliet? It's the plumpest role!"
The story predictably follows the outline of Shakespeare's play, including the ups and downs of that work. Along the way all of the principle characters bare their souls about the difficulties of being a teenager in songs that are fun to hear. The problems of teenagers of today are different from the ones that our generation experienced in high school. In today's world drugs are an ugly addition to the hurdles that our youth have to jump over.
This musical is full of clichés in the spare story line and lyrics. The score is pleasant to hear and delivered well by everyone. The ground that this musical covers is probably, at least for our generation, territory that is better covered in "West Side Story." However, this is a more contemporary version.
The production is solid. The five principal performers (Morgan Reynolds, Jared Grant, Krystle Curz, Kelsie Piini and Michael Noah Levine) all perform with the earnestness of youth. And, as Sr. Chantelle, Natasha Reese stops the show with the song singing her two numbers, "911! Emergency," and "God Don't Make No Trash." Director David C. Carnevale and choreographer Marcus S. Daniel have things going so rapidly and smoothly that the problems of the piece are not initially apparent, but rise up in your mind on the ride home. The entire cast moves with assurance and speed.
Theatre Out was dark for most of 2013. They reopened before Christmas and it's a positive thing that they are up and running. They have moved to a new space with better parking and a very good restaurant right next door.
Titles can sometimes be deceptive. "Bare" is a fun, if not innovative, musical about the anguish of being a teenager in America. However, even when the material is less than outstanding, Theater Out always puts on an evening of theatre that is well worth the short trip to Santa Ana.

This month the Leisure World Scrapbook Club will focus on methods of storage, organization and products that can make it easier to assemble photos.
It's always fun to look back at those old photos, so join members anytime on Saturday, Jan. 25, in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. Members will be there from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. For more information, call 596-6925.

LW Line Dance
Many spectrums of our lives are
similar to those in line dancing.
For instance, when we look down through
high flying airplane windows,
we can easily observe the motorists' struggling, just like dancing in line on busy highway.
But LW line dancing is quite different, Lined by lined smiling faces are all
busy dancing in fascinating mood,
just as happy cheerleaders' moves
on the football field.
Probably LW line dancers are all been
through the years of crisscross hard life line
dancing, with hope of being happy someday.
At last, their wishes about to be granted, because having wellbeing and enjoying life is easy in Leisure World; just simply join in line dance at the clubhouse.

NEW YORK Oregon scrap metals recycler Export Global Metals Inc. has begun construction on a new electronics recycling arm that it aims to have operating by October.
The Hillsboro, Ore.-based company said it will invest $4 million in an electronics end-of-life shredding and processing system to become the first processor in Oregon with this capability.
EG Metals will be able to provide secured chain-of-custody transportation, full video-documented destruction and sorting of all computer electronics, including hard drives and circuit boards, into source metal commodities like copper, aluminum, tin and plastics, the company said.
"Being able to securely transport, process and separate computer electronic components domestically will increase our ability to service large commercial customers concerned about how and where their computers and their computer data is being processed," said Peter Van Houten, general manager and vice president of operations.
The company said construction and implementation of the new equipment will begin this month, with full production expected to start by the end of September.
