BY: Fat Sand
RUNNING TIME: Approximately 120 minutes
WORDS: Jim Gaunt
Fat Sand film maker, Rob Claisse, has a background in computer programming, and he approaches kiteboarding instructional DVD making in exactly the same way: logically, precisely and step-by-step. There have been two other hugely successful DVDs in the Progression series ? Beginner and yes, you've guessed it, Intermediate. There is a very alluring intro section to this Advanced DVD that works in the same sort of way as your favourite tune played as loud as the crappy speakers in your van will allow on the way to the beach; it gets you all excited and psyched up to try something new. Splintered with images of the likes of Hadlow and Crathern busting out huge kite loops, Rob uses this intro section to set the scene with a husky voice over, telling us that with the right approach, none of the tricks we're about to see are only for the super-fit and explains that, 'As with each Progression DVD, each trick is broken down into a series of Progressions. They build up to the end goal by focussing on simpler tricks in the earlier Progressions.'
If you watched Fat Sand's first DVD, Intermediate, you'll realise that they never rush through the tricks. (In that DVD, I think they made it through three whole tricks in two hours: the back loop, front loop and some transitions! But you do end up attacking these moves like a robot the next time you hit the water.) Instead, the focus is on the core aspects of certain manoeuvres, giving you a solid understanding of how they work, providing you with a good framework from which to innovate beyond once you've nailed the key component parts in detail.
Moves covered in this DVD include: hooked-in kite loops, board-offs, riding blind, unhooked basics and set-up, popping and raileys, S-bends, unhooked kite loops and handle-passes. Let's be honest, if you get to really understand and are inspired with confidence to try all of these, then the price of a DVD is surely a better investment than anything your hedge fund broker could advise you on!
Rob's methodological approach to the fact that we need input works well. He uses multi-angles for things like kite loops, giving you a wide screen view of the whole trick with the kite in the frame, as well as simultaneously showing a close-up of what's going on at the business end with the rider, and makes it all seem very clear.
Rob got together the collective skills of UK Champions Lewis Crathern and Jo Wilson and hugely gifted freestyle rider, Neal Hilder, for this DVD and packed them all off to Egypt. While they may be riding in ideal conditions, it meant that Rob was able to break everything down into minute detail and not miss anything out. The result is, in my opinion, a true-keeper of a DVD. All three of these riders are great to watch anyway, and if you can handle the sight of Hilder's cotton boxer shorts riding up over his boardies (surely giving him some sort of atomic wedgy) every time he does a trick, then you'll go far.
Progression Advanced was featured in Issue #25.

School DD will be attending.
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 01-27-2009 - 4:24pm
We went to open house for the Catholic grade school we'll be sending DD to in the fall. It's connected to the other Catholic parish in town, and relatively small. We have friends who send their kids there, but weren't too familiar with the school as a whole.
As I was sitting listening to the presentation, I got more and more excited about how much focus on Catholicism there is (and that's coming from me, having had Catholic education from K-college). There's morning prayer every morning. There's prayer before lunch. There's prayer after lunch. (I love this part.) Before recess, they say the Prayer of Saint Francis. They attend Mass as a school every Wednesday. They have half days on first Fridays. Every October and May they recite the rosary as a school twice a week.
On Sunday at Mass, DD was suddenly gifted with a moment of inspiration when staring at the crucifix-- "Mommy, so Jesus was killed, but who killed him?" and then "Oh so the bad guys thought he was bad. So he died, and then he came back to life to show them that he wasn't bad, he was good, right?" I just couldn't imagine her going to a school where faith wasn't a part of her day, you know?
Just had to share.

Happy Catholic Schools Week and Congratulations on chosing Catholic School for your child.
Though my children are in public school,I will always have a place in my heart for the Catholic School system I grew up in - it's the foundation (the weekly mass,the prayers,etc etc) that you share that are deep rooted as fond memories I've held onto...........I hope you and she get out of it as much as I remember.
|Fri, 01-30-2009 - 12:44pm
Kelly, in my kids' school too, I'm impressed by how accepting the kids are of each other. We were talking about name-calling once, and my daughter said, "People don't do that anymore. You just read about it in old-fashioned books." My son agreed that it was a part of the plots of a lot of kids' books, but not part of real life.
That amazed me. Yet I see it in action. There are kids that I know are "different" enough that it would work against them in other settings, but they're accepted at school.
I do love the school liturgies too, and the Eucharistic Adoration.
I've already made the decision that we'll have to send them to public high school though. At $10,000/year, Catholic high school is inaccessible for us.

My boys have attended Catholic School since they started school in Kindergarten and PreK.
|Thu, 01-29-2009 - 11:08am
We have only one kid in Catholic school - my 16yo DD, who started attending a Catholic girls' high school in 10th grade. We have been very, very happy with it.
There are certainly some who would not find it "Catholic enough." They don't have weekly mass (it's run by an order of nuns, not attached to a parish, so there are no priests in residence). There are non-Catholic girls who go there. The uniform code is routinely flouted by girls who wear their skirts too-short (for whom, I don't know - there are no boys at the school!).
Catholic high schools are often a pitstop for troubled teens whose parents are desperate for more structure, and there are drugs, alcohol, foul language, and girls who get pregnant - probably at about the same rate as at most of the public schools around here.
What they *do* get that is specifically Catholic, and specifically a reflection of the charism of the nuns who run this particular school, is a sense of their value in the eyes of God. The sisters are very loving. They are not autocratic rulers. They genuinely care about the girls - not necessarily about turning them into high achievers, but helping them become fully the people that God made them. There is a high sense of tolerance among both the administration (who are sisters) and the girls themselves for differences in personalities and opinions. Girls who might be marginalized for being "different" elsewhere are welcomed into groups. My DD has such a variety of friends that she would not have had at public school (where they would have been labeled nerds, freaks, etc.), and they are all friends with each other.
I find that sense of love and acceptance, combined with a sense of framing the school days with prayer and service, to be the most important "Catholic" traits of this school. I am thrilled that my daughter interacts every day with women who have chosen religious life and show it to be a viable option.
We have two younger children in public schools. I'm pretty sure the middle one will stay on through public high school (which is about 80% Catholic, anyway). The little one at 8yo is too early to tell. I wouldn't send him to our parish school because they have next to nothing in the way of art and music, which is very important to our family, but we'll see about high school.
|Wed, 01-28-2009 - 10:14pm
Better start saving for Catholic High School now, while DS is only in first grade :)
My 8th grader just got accepted to an all boy Catholic school and the tuition is $8,300 and it's 15 miles away and the bus is $700 per year and it picks up at 6:05 am 3 miles from home.
|Wed, 01-28-2009 - 5:43pm
Best of my knowledge, Open House is always the Sunday of Catholic Schools Week, which is the last week of Jan. each year.

Acxiom Data Search to Roll Out in Early September
by Luke Jones
Posted 8/6/2013 09:33 am
Updated 1 year ago
Keep an eye out, because Acxiom Corp. is getting closer and closer to releasing its service that will let consumers find out what the data miner has mined on them.
At the company's annual meeting for shareholders Tuesday at its headquarters in Little Rock, CEO Scott Howe told Arkansas Business that the service is scheduled to roll out on the first or second week of September.
Word of the services has been whispered about since April.
Howe told analysts during the company's first quarter earnings conference call that Acxiom's online reach is close to 1.1 billion unique users, or almost 100 percent of the Internet.
But don't get too excited: Howe added that the service won't satisfy everyone. He said it will be an ongoing project for Acxiom well after its release.
We'll keep our eye out for the new service.

|First appearance:
|Portrayed by:
|Katia Winter
Katrina Van Tressel Crane (Katia Winter), is the wife of former history professor turned Revolutionary War captain Ichabod Crane. She is also a powerful witch in the coven 'Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart,' in which she was the leader. When Katrina had Ichabod's son, Jeremy Crane, she was banished from the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart. Her mission is to prevent the apocalypse. As of now, she was trapped in a world between life and death, only recently freed by Ichabod and Abbie.
During the early parts of the Revolutionary War, Katrina was the arranged fiancee of Ichabod's best friend, Abraham Van Brunt. Abraham always bought her splendid gifts such as expensive jewelry. Ichabod however knew her better, and knew what simplicity she liked. It was for this reason that she broke off the engagement to be with him.
During the Revolutionary War, while her husband Ichabod was a captain serving under General George Washington, Katrina was a civilian nurse who worked in triage. After Ichabod faced the Headless Horseman in battle and was about to seemingly lose his life, Katrina, at his side in triage, attempted to alert him of a secret that he must know though it was too late.
Katrina is actually a witch and the leader of the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart, a coven whose duty it is to prevent the apocalypse. She and her people placed Ichabod into a cave to keep him safe from the Headless Horseman who is actually Death, one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. The coven chained the Horseman's body in a coffin and sent it the bottom of the ocean to keep separate from Ichabod, who now shared a blood connection with him. Some time later, Katrina was trapped in Purgatory by Moloch as per his agreement with Death. Death was actually Abraham, and he wanted to win Katrina back as a prize.
It's revealed in "Sanctuary," that Katrina gave birth to a son while in the Fredericks Manor due to the protective hex placed on the household, a child which Ichabod was previously unaware of until Abbie Mills told him about the vision she had seen with Katrina giving birth.
In "The Golem," Ichabod makes contact with Katrina, who reveals to her husband their son's name to be Jeremy. She then reveals it was not Moloch who imprisoned her in Purgatory but actually her own coven, the Sisterhood of the Radiant Heart. When Katrina hid Ichabod in the cave after he beheaded the Horseman, they demanded answers but she fled. She did not realize until after she sealed Ichabod that she was pregnant and sought haven at Fredericks Manor to deliver her child. But she did not want her son to share her life as a fugitive and with a heavy heart left Jeremy with Grace Dixon and her husband, giving him a doll to protect him. Sometime after she gave up Jeremy, her former sister-witches, a group known as the Four who Speak as One caught up with Katrina and imprisoned her in Purgatory.
Season One
When Ichabod awoke in 21st century Sleepy Hollow along with the Headless Horseman, Katrina came to him in the form of a bird who opened a door to her other worldly prison for him. Katrina informed him of the secrets she kept and told him of his duty as the First Witness, who must prevent the Horseman from getting his head, reaching full power, summoning his three comrades, and bringing about the end of the world. Before he departs at the arrival of the demon keeping her trapped, Katrina begs Ichabod to release her.
Ichabod Crane
- Katrina met Ichabod when she was a Quaker, and a friend of a man Ichabod (who was a Redcoat at the time) was supposed to interrogate and kill. He attempted to be charming, finding her beautiful, but she was bitter and cold to him.
- She led him to his change of heart to becoming a Patriot under the command of General George Washington. Ichabod was sent with Katrina's friend into the woods to kill him, but set him free. Ichabod's commander revealed himself to be a demon and shot the man, then he wounded Ichabod. Ichabod showed up at Katrina's house, stumbling into her front porch. She helped him in and held his head in her lap as if they were already married.
- Katrina was betrothed to Abraham Van Brunt, but he gave her expensive jewelry and thought she desired money and riches. However, Katrina favored simplicity. Ichabod noticed this, for he knew her better than his best friend Abraham. Katrina confessed her love for him, and broke the engagement. Later, when Abraham told Ichabod she broke the engagement, Ichabod confessed it was out of love for him, asking that he and Katrina receive his blessing. Abraham was angered and demanded a duel, but was shot by the Hessians, and became the Horseman of Death.
- Ichabod and Katrina were soon married. Through the years they were married, Ichabod had no idea Katrina was a witch. She didn't tell him this to protect him from chances of being burnt at the stake with her if she was discovered.
- Ichabod did not know this, but Katrina had been pregnant. After Ichabod died, she fled from her coven to Frederick's Manor to deliver her baby because the house was under a protective hex, which was broken when the baby was born. She had to leave with the child to protect him from harm. It has not been revealed what happened to the baby, but Katrina never told Ichabod. He only found out when Abbie Mills told him when she saw the birth in a vision.
- Katrina cast a spell on a dying Ichabod when the Horseman slashed open his chest, after he cut off the Horseman's head. Because their bloodlines merged, she was able to cast a spell so when the Horseman of Death awoke, so would Ichabod. She buried Ichabod's body in a cave and sunk the Horseman's body in a tomb at the bottom of a river, and he awoke with the Horseman in the 21st century.
- She appears to Ichabod many times throughout the series, most of the time to give him hints or warn him of upcoming events. Katrina gave him the information that the Horseman would be looking for his skull, and he could wake the three other Horsemen with it. She also revealed to him that the Horseman couldn't be around sunlight.
Abraham Van Brunt
- Katrina had an arranged marriage with Abraham, but because he did not understand her desire for simplicity and because she was in love with Ichabod Crane, she broke the engagement. She and Ichabod required Abraham's blessing, but he was enraged and dueled Ichabod.
- Abraham was killed by the Hessians and made the Horseman of Death. His agreement with Moloch was that if he succeeded, Katrina would be his. When she was burnt for witchcraft, she was stuck in a world between worlds, waiting for Abraham to succeed for her to be freed.
- Katrina said that she never loved him and she never would, and that her heart belonged to Ichabod alone.
Jeremy Crane
Katrina was the mother of Jeremy, the only child between her and her husband Ichabod Crane.

I've watched this film twice today! haha! But omg the love! The love! After watching this film you feel love and spirit of all these women and babies is just filling you up and eminating out of you in a starlight glow.
I've always loved babies... up to one year old - I love them. So frickin' adorable. After that age, it becomes harder - although lots of fun too. So this film is perfect to revel in the babyness of babies.
It's definitley a feel good film - there are no 'bad times' shown at all. None of the reality of what it's like for the parents in the Himba tribe, with no doctors around, but yet again, it's the babies perspective - what to babies know of doctors? It just shows THEIR world, NOT their parents' or families thoughts/world.
It makes me happy to see how resilient the babies are. They are very very very clever, and tough, and have such intuitiveness, it's unbelievable. They KNOW - everything, it seems. How can they? It's amazing. One day they can't even see very far, then a few hundred days pass and they are crawling and communicating, then another hundred days and they are dancing!
It makes me feel that children, in a way, CAN look after themselves. Also in another way, I almost ALMOST envy the freedom that comes with the Himba tribe in Africa... The mothers are the best of friends, laughing and touching eachother and feeding eachothers babies. They seem to have the most TRUST that everything is going to be okay. And maybe it IS... Our busy, road and car filled world is, strangely more dangerous... We are far more tense here. But how can we re create such ease of the Himba tribe within our own culture? I guess it is to trust in your baby.
Bayar, the Mongolian little baby boy seems to be always on his own - almost getting trampled by cows at times...I just wonder what the mother's mindset is... Does she care? Does she trust? Where was she when a cockerel was walking on his bed and could have scratched out his eyes. Does she trust the animals? Or does she feel that she can 'deal' with whatever happens? These people are very tough and perhaps she just expects that her baby needs to be as tough as she is.
Just wondering :)

25 Best Jobs Of 2013
Posted by Josef on January 29, 2013
Speech-Language Pathologist
Median Salary: $77,990
Helping people talk and adapt to a certain language is not as easy as it looks. A speech-language pathologist can be considered to be a physical therapist of speech as they help patients condition their tongue, mouth, gum, and air flow movements through exercises that assist them in communicating better. Complications from simple physiological difficulties to patients recovering from cleft lip operations are often assisted by this profession.
Civil Engineer
Median Salary: $77,990
If you are the person that aims to create a better nation by developing plans and implementing projects that improve buildings, streets, drainage systems, waterways, bridges, roads, and even other infrastructures, then being a civil engineer is for you. Knowledge in strength of materials, cost effective materials purchasing, and calculative designing are necessary in this field of work.
Market Research Analyst
Median Salary: $60,250
One of the major job requirements of being a market research analyst is that you must have a keen sense of detail as your job is to actually observe people, their reactions to products, buying trends, swinging demands, and even product likeliness. All of these lead to propositions of changing product prices, packaging, advertisements, selling locations, and more.
Diagnostic Medical Sonographer
Median Salary: $65,210
Being a sonographer is not that difficult as far as using 3D imaging tools are concerned. However, it is your task to make sure that the output, quality, and preciseness of the result is maintained. Also, the welfare, experience, and comfort of the patient should also be taken care of, at the time when the sonography procedures are being done.
Computer Systems Administrator
Median Salary: $70,970
A computer systems administrator checks and monitors the health and performance of existing systems in the office or in the business. They make sure that systems are being used in standard functions, they resolve compatibility issues with implementing programs and software, and they also see to it that everything works well, no matter what process is being done. Work stations, networks, and telecommunications services are their field of expertise.
Median Salary: $64,220
From the very sense of the word, an epidemiologist is a scientist and researcher that studies and gathers data about diseases that threaten life on a massive scale. Such diseases are dengue fever, SARS, AH1N1, swine flu, bird flu, malaria, and so on.
IT Manager
Median Salary: $118,010
The IT manager is the main guy that leads a team of IT professionals. Attaining this position can only be possible with knowledge from almost all fields of information technology such as database management, programming, debugging, systems analysis, and so on. More importantly, this pro should also have leadership skills that connect and unite his team of computer experts.
Veterinary Technologist & Technician
Median Salary: $30,140
Just like in the hospital, veterinarians can perform better and more fully with veterinary technologists and technicians by their side. Those who collect fresh samples from animals, place analytic apparatuses, administer anesthesia, and interpret samples through tools are valuable members of the vet team.
Interpreter & Translator
Median Salary: $44,160
Speaking, writing, and sign language are some of the most common ways people interact with each other, no matter the language or dialect being used. Interpreters and translators are advantageous in this field if they master a language that could be translated or interpreted in all fields of communication. They could be hired by global companies and even in BPOs for customer interaction.
Mechanical Engineer
Median Salary: $79,230
Mechanical engineers are well-acquainted with engines, large equipment, and other machinery that performs tasks to accomplish huge jobs. They are usually assigned in car factories, oil extraction facilities, mining fields, heavy equipment businesses, and even in ships or planes.
Physical Therapist Assistant
Median Salary: $51,040
A physical therapist assistant only means that you are accompanying and helping the main therapist in helping and nursing the patient to recover body movements. Though education may not be as substantial and as lengthy as that of the physical therapist, procedures like massaging, joint recalibration, and flexing are still learned. Of course, it also means that salary is lesser than the main professional.
School Psychologist
Median Salary: $67,880
Due to things like education stress, peer pressure, learning challenges, and social interaction school psychologists are needed to make things balanced and leveled for teachers and learners alike. They can be found as guidance counselors, disciplinarians, and even administrators. They make sure that children get the most of their schooling experience.
Computer Programmer
Median Salary: $72,630
Computer programmers are experts when it comes to interacting with various devices and gadgets by creating codes, texts, and even statements that the computer understands. Their complex knowledge with things like Java, HTML, Unix, Linux, C++, Python, SQL, and others offer an edge in this field of work.
Occupational Therapist
Median Salary: $73,820
You may think that being an occupational therapist is no different from being a physical therapist. Although both are assisting in restoring body functions they use varying methods. Occupational therapists help patients restore movement with the use of the environment and modify recovery based on tools being used. Think of inclined planes, stairs, side rails, overhead beams, chairs, and even desks as some of their equipment.
Median Salary: $82,900
Veterinarians are more than just doctors that treat and take care of dogs. In fact, they have been equipped with skills that can treat different kinds of animals from birds to turtles, and even whales. They are also responsible for animal care, whether it is done in the home, in a business, or in some other industry. These professionals also participate in eradicating animal-borne diseases that affect both animals and humans alike.

Family, friends, senior leaders and pilots gathered Aug. 24 to honor a World War II B-17 Flying Fortress pilot during an award ceremony at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas where he was award the Distinguished Flying Cross medal. Second Lt. Samuel Smith was assigned to the 360th Bombardment Squadron at RAF Molesworth, England, during the Second World War. He flew 24 bombing missions over Nazi Germany during the war, one of which earned him the DFC nearly 70 years later.
"It's not often in one's career, and for most careers it never happens, where you have the opportunity to learn so much about a group of men and women who literally changed the world," said Maj. Gen. Timothy Zadalis, Air Education and Training Command Director of Intelligence, Operations and Nuclear Integration, during the ceremony. "A group of men and women who became known as the world's greatest generation and today we're here to honor one of those tremendous giants, (Smith), for his airmanship."
Smith was awarded for his piloting prowess while landing a crippled B-17 upon returning from a bombing mission to Hopston, Germany, March 1, 1945. The B-17's undercarriage and landing gear was damaged by anti-aircraft gunfire. Somehow Smith was able to make a hard right turn upon landing in order to clear the runway for approaching aircraft, saving the lives of his crew members and fellow bombers in the process. "If you could imagine the airfield, it's just a concrete runway; aircraft maybe 30 seconds in trail, all of them low on fuel because there was no extra weight on those aircraft to travel," said Zadalis. "So any problem on the runway probably meant aircraft ditching or trying to divert or significant problems for the aircraft behind."
Zadalis praised Smith's and his fellow war fighters' efforts for helping to make the U.S. Air Force the world's great airpower. "I would share with you, in the 70 years since then...our Air Force has changed tremendously. We dominate the air, we dominate space and we're into all kinds of domain including cyberspace...but there is one thing not a single one of these young men and women up here or I or anybody in uniform will forget and that's we stand on the shoulders of giants, we stand on the shoulders of men and women who gave our freedom and to this day are an example of service and selflessness."
After his speech, Zaladis presented the award, which Smith humbly accepted. Smith went on thank his ground support crew for the maintenance of his airplane. "I owe them a tremendous amount," said the Texas native. "It's amazing to me that you could have a bunch of teenage guys in their late teens and early 20s from all parts of this country and you could put them together and form an air force and a group of people that could be trained and they could actually go to Europe and we could whip the Luftwaffe...and I'm fortunate to be one of that group," said Smith.
To Smith, who will be 88 years old September 11, the award was bittersweet. His crew wasn't able to see him get the award. "In lots of respects I'm sad too, because none my crew members can be here and most of them have already passed away and they were with me when all of this action took place," he said. "We flew 24 combat missions together and I was fortunate in that I was able to bring the same crew back home after the war ended in Europe. I honor them also, because us pilots without the support of your crew and ground personnel you can't do all the things that you do."

Karen Peters
ANKENY, Iowa (Dec. 4, 2013) - The holiday season is under way, and the Ankeny fire department is asking everyone to help keep the wreaths green at the City's fire stations by preventing fires.
Project Green Wreath is a fire prevention program that runs through the month of December. Large wreaths have been hung at Ankeny's two fire stations, with green light bulbs in each. Firefighters will replace one green light with a red light for each structure fire during the month.
"Project Green Wreath is a visual reminder of the importance of implementing and following fire safety practices during the holiday season," said Ankeny Fire Chief Rex Mundt. "We hope everyone will do their part to keep the wreaths green."
Here are some tips to keep your home safe this holiday season:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Two weeks after a tornado killed two people in Cumberland County, Governor Bill Haslam has yet to tour the damage there, or in any other hard hit towns in East Tennessee.
He said the damage is too wide spread, but he'll continue to pressure FEMA for help.
Governor Haslam said, "Its very critical to the communities impacted so I mean, one of the things the Governor can do is continue to put pressure on the feds to come through for us."
Deputy governor Claude Ramsey already visited a number of the tornado sites.

Jeff Hoffman – The Ace of the Cape
Jeff Hoffman is a 6'4″, 185 pound right-handed starter from Latham, NY. He plays collegiatly for the East Carolina Pirates and for the Hyannis Harbor Hawks in the Cape Cod League. I have seen him pitch three times this season, the first of which was at beautiful Clark-LeClair Stadium in Greenville, NC when the ECU Pirates opposed the University of Central Florida Golden Knights. On 5/16/2013, Jeff threw 8 innings, surrendered 6 hits, walked 6, struck out 5, and allowed 2 runs. The next two outings were on 7/4/2013 and 7/17/2013 during some Cape Cod League Baseball action at McKeon Park in Barnstable, MA. On July 4th, Hoffman went 6 innings, allowed 2 earned runs, 5 hits, 1 walk, and struck-out 8. On July 17th, he was even more impressive. That day, his final line was 7.2 IP, 0 ER, 3 H, 1BB, and 11 K.
Physical Description:
Hoffman currently has a very thin frame. However, he possesses broad shoulders, and is flat-chested, so I think that added strength training would aid in his development as a quality starter with endurance. If you add in the fact that he has long arms and the baseball appears very small in his hands, Jeff has an excellent pitcher's frame with room to add weight.
General Pitching Informaton
Hoffman is a power pitcher who generates good angle with his over the top delivery, I would describe his mechanics as very deliberate as opposed to free and easy or smooth. His delivery does require effort. I do not like how he jumps off his drive leg into front foot contact, but I do feel that he is athletic enough to recover from it. His arm action is not ideal either, Jeff wraps his arm behind his butt and is an elbow climber. The amount of energy he expends in his delivery does lead to some recoil. Overall, Hoffman's mechanics are not a detriment to his delivery and is a very good athlete that these minor hiccups should not effect.
Fastball Information
Hoffman's fastball sat mostly 94-95 that flashed late dive. This late life is impressive; it is hard for a pitcher with an overhead arm action to possess any life. Including plus velocity and the ability to generate angle with his arm slot, late life creates an even harder fastball to hit. He featured a two-seamer at 93-95 and a cutter at 94. The two-seamer had the typical late bore, and the cutter was more of a biter than explosive.
Fastball: 70 / 80
Control: 40/45
Life: 50 / 55
Curevball Information
His breaking ball is a power curve with hard action that comes in at 79-80 miles per hour. The curveball is very projectable and will turn into a MLB out pitch, if not borderline unhittable. The back-arm stab in his arm action led to Hoffman's tendency to leave the curveball up and hurt his overall consistency. However, he showed the ability to bury for outs and pound the zone in the middle of counts.
Curveball: 55 / 65
Changeup Information
Hoffman throws a circle change that sits 88-89. The change-up is very projectable as well. He throws it with deception and fade. A lot of avid fans will comment on his three plus-pitch ability. Jeff does an excellent job at replicating his arm speed and possessing deception, but, on occasion, he slowed his arm action in the back. The other reason that it is hard for me to say that his change-up currently is a plus MLB pitch is the lack of late dive.
Changeup: 35 / 40
Pitcher Summation:
Has front of the rotation potential with better control. Failing that, he can become 2-pitch guy and be dominant late inning pitcher right now. In order to project better as a starter, Hoffman will need to add weight to maintain a higher inning count

The OLED mini chandelier (shown here) and the OLED wall sconce are two prototypes that the company presented at this year's fair. The power consumption is 0.18-watt for each OLED. OLED is a flat light source and heat dissipation is more efficient. The panels turn energy into light instead of heat. WAC hopes to utilize this technology within the years to come.

Serves 4
Ingredientsadd to shopping list
- 1 eggplant (about 1 1/4 pounds), cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1 shallot, minced
- a 2-inch-long fresh hot red chili, chopped fine (wear rubber gloves), or 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons Oriental sesame oil
- 1/4 cup ground roasted peanuts
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, or to taste
- vegetable oil for brushing the eggplant
Sprinkle the eggplant lightly with salt, let it drain in a colander for 1 hour, and pat it dry. In a small saucepan cook the garlic, the shallot, and the chili in the sesame oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened, add the peanuts, and cook the mixture, stirring, for 1 minute. Add the soy sauce, the sugar, the lemon juice, and 1 cup water, boil the mixture, stirring occasionally, until it is thickened slightly, and add salt and pepper to taste. Brush the eggplant, patted dry, with the vegetable oil and grill it on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals, turning it, for 7 to 8 minutes, or until it is just cooked. Transfer the eggplant to a serving plate and spoon the peanut sauce over it.

THE COMMUTE: In early 2012, we reported on confusing Department of Transportation (DOT) parking and traffic regulations and on confusing and outdated signage mentioning the taxi stand on Brighton Beach Avenue. That stand is not even listed in DOT's database of taxi stands so apparently they are unaware of its existence.
In January 2013, DOT — realizing the problems with existing signage that were causing unnecessary confusion — unveiled a new format for parking regulatory signs, which shortly thereafter began to make their appearance in Manhattan. A consultant was hired who devised what you see here.

Terra Madre Day: The Countdown Begins
28 Nov 13
In Romania the Cluj Transilvania Convivium will gather to recall childhood recipes and bake traditional near-forgotten desserts, while in Tanzania, five communities are planning to come together for a school garden harvest and collective meal. In the US, local endangered foods will be cooked up at a dinner party, and in Venezuela the humble potato will take the stage, becoming the focus of a community festival. Hard-hitting issues will be faced in Mexico with a two-day debate program on food and the environment, while in Australia the traditions kept alive by Aboriginal women will be celebrated. Add a kimchi party in South Korea to the mix, being organized by the local Slow Food Youth Network to swap and compare family recipes for this national dish, and it's fair to say there's a lot on the menu for this year's Terra Madre Day.
Now in its fifth year the global celebration of local food held on December 10 – Slow Food's official anniversary – is fast approaching. The theme of this year's event is saving endangered foods. We want to use December 10 to raise awareness of the traditional foods disappearing all around us, along with the knowledge, techniques, cultures and landscapes behind their production. Coming together for one day all around the world, we'll paint a picture of the incredible food biodiversity that surrounds. By creating a symbolic map of these foods, we will be able to send an even stronger message about its fragility.
So get involved this December 10! Find an event near you or create one of your own, as simple or complex, big or small as you wish. Get inspiration from past editions and download graphics on the Terra Madre Day website. And don't forget to register your event – you will join the world map and be published alongside all the other initiatives happening at the same moment in a truly global celebration.

|I'm looking for a recommendation for an iPod (Classic) docking station/speaker that has a remote.
The Bose system looks and sounds quite nice, but it's a bit beyond my budget. This will be for school use on an almost non-existent school budget (CA budget woes).
Right now the iPod is being used, hooked up to a shelf stereo unit via the Audio In jack. However, the remote for the stereo will not control the iPod. Thus, looking for the iPod station with a remote.
Thanks for any leads (cross-posted in Home Entertainment forum).

Walsall have extended Milan Lalkovic's loan stay at Bescot Stadium until the end of the season.
The Chelsea forward joined the Saddlers in the summer on a six-month deal and has proved an impressive addition to Dean Smith's ranks, scoring four goals in 24 appearances in all competitions.
Manager Dean Smith said: "I am delighted that Chelsea have allowed Milan to continue his development with us. He is getting better each week and has a hunger to learn and improve.
"Thankfully Chelsea see this as the right place for him to be able to do that and I look forward to continuing to work with him and help him develop, while at the same time he plays his part in maintaining our challenge at the right end of the table during the battles which lie ahead."
Lalkovic, a Slovakia Under-21 international, is still to make his first-team debut for Chelsea but has enjoyed three previous loan spells all over Europe.
However, it is at the Banks's Stadium where he has gained the most game time and he is keen to continue to help propel Walsall towards their target of a place in the League One play-offs.
"I have said many times that I wanted to stay here," Lalkovic added. "Being here has really benefited me and I feel I can keep improving under the gaffer and Richard O'Kelly (first-team coach).
"I am pleased that this deal has now been sorted and I can concentrate on my football and helping the club achieve more points."
The Saddlers are currently seventh in League one, just one point outside the play-offs.

This is Malveillant .
Valentine and Nikolai have an unnerving blood-bond, and suspicious one between a vampire and a shifter. They have both taken Keiran- a newly formed Pup- under their wing and he is residing in their household. Luna, an Elder Shifter is closely observing Keiran, and is disturbed- maybe even jealous- of the relationship that the young pup is developing with the half vampire/half shifter hybrid Khaymen. Then with the arrival of arrogant bloodsister (to Valentine) Bianca Valencourt and Valentine's old lover, Ravan Storm and Ravan's half vamp/half human son Armand, tensions are mounting impossibly in the "quiet town" of New Orleans. Lucian, a Lycan Warrior, has come to help Luna with her duties because of the supernatural arrival of spirits- but when he sees his old love, Bianca, he is torn between loyalties.
What is there to make of the humans Annika and Chayen? Both who are curious and investigating the pananormal activities in New Orleans. Along with the cocky Pandora (shifter) and the arrival of a new Kitty, Spiros...what will become of this underground cult of the supernatural and deception...

On the surface it seems the film is about the mother, Junn, and her inability to adapt to this country. Richard enters her life and stirs it up, forcing her to confront some difficult and raw feelings. It is her world he's entering, and she sets the tone. Nevertheless, it's important to remember it is Richard who takes us into her world. He is the principal character who facilitates for other people to connect.
This is a modern day, London drama with a universal theme – love and grief.
This film will look intimate and cinematic. A lot of the 'trickery'' in the film are achieved in-camera or on set. Such as actors changing their clothes within a single take, and re-appear again to suggest a different timeline – all in one continuous shot. This is a lovely technique that will aid the languid and magical quality of the film.
I want this film to have a strong aesthetic identity; it should look beautiful. It should punch above its weight and budget. The ingredients are there to achieve this. The set will give an alluring and yet surprising backdrop. The camera will move in circular or continuous motion between the past and present. I would say these are the threads that will hold the film together and give it a clear distinctive personality. These techniques are not vacuous showoff display of our skills, they are considered ideas that are very much integral to the themes of the film – achievable within a micro-budget framework.

The Reno Air Racing Association is moving forward with plans to hold another air race this September, despite last year's deadly accident that killed eleven people and injured dozens more when the pilot of a P-51 Mustang lost control and crashed into a group of spectators. Reno Air Race Association President and CEO Michael Houghton (HOW-ton) drew a cheer from the crowd when he announced they are committed to do everything they can to hold the historic event in 2012. Tim O'Brien the director of the Nevada County Air Fest was in Reno yesterday when Houghton made the announcement.
"They decided to move ahead and plan it for next year and keep the tradition going, but with a new committee to ensure greater safety for pilots and the spectators in the future."
A National Transportation Safety Board Committee will hold a hearing January 10th into last year's deadly crash, but results of the hearing are not expected for several months.
The racing association says they're confident they can get the permits to hold another race. (HOW-ton) says many of the victims and their families have told the organization that they were already planning to come to Reno in September to pay tribute to those who died. The races are scheduled for September 12-15 at Reno-Stead Airport.

Director Michael Lindsay-Hogg has an unusual niche: He's the king of vanished rock & roll documentaries. In 1968, he shot ''The Rolling Stones Rock and Roll Circus,'' a concert with raucous performances by the Stones, the Who, Eric Clapton, and others. But the Stones lost the tapes for 30 years, and the film wasn't released until 1996.
Lindsay-Hogg's most famous film, 1970's ''Let It Be'' -- which chronicled the contentious recording of the titular Beatles album -- has been unavailable for 33 years (except for a home-video version briefly sold in the early '80s). Now, as the Beatles release a new, stripped-down version of the album, ''Let It Be... Naked,'' they're also -- finally -- working on a ''Let It Be'' DVD. Lindsay-Hogg, 63, tells EW.com about capturing some of the foursome's least fab moments -- and convincing the Beatles not to cut them out.
So why wasn't a ''Let It Be'' DVD released alongside ''Naked''?
The idea, as far as I know, is to put out two DVDs sometime in 2004, one of which will be the movie ''Let It Be'' with the print restored and the sound mixed to current standards. And then a companion DVD with interviews and extra material from anyone who had anything pertinent to say, one of them being myself.
Were there scenes the Beatles insisted on cutting from the original film?
One of the things that was interesting about ''Let It Be'' is that they were sort of falling apart at that time, and it was hard to get some of those moments into the movie because as well as being the stars, they were also the producers. They all had slightly different agendas.
So there was much more in the original cut of John and Yoko relating. You saw that she and John -- and I'm not saying she had anything to do with breaking up the Beatles -- that they were like a separate camp in the group. And so we took that out.
The Beatles apparently don't like the movie. Does that bother you?
Well, they're mixed. I bumped into Paul on an airplane and he said he'd seen it fairly recently and he said he'd liked it. And I think John liked it -- if he said he didn't like it, it had to do with his feelings about Paul at the time.
And George didn't like it because it represented a time in his life when he was unhappy. He was a very sensitive -- almost too sensitive -- sort of sardonic guy when he was pushed. It was a time when he very much was trying to get out from under the thumb of Lennon/McCartney -- I mean the songwriting team. If there were 12 cuts on the album, they'd get 10, Ringo would be thrown 1, and George would get 1. And George was feeling his artistic oats, and he was writing some wonderful songs, and was looking for a chance to have more expression for himself.
When you shot the scene where George blows up at Paul (''I'll play whatever you want me to play, or I won't play at all if you don't want me to. Whatever it is that will please you''), were you aware of how iconic it would become?
No, but I was aware that they were beginning to get on each other's nerves. If you notice, there's a shot looking down on McCartney, and the shot of George talking is on a long, slightly fuzzy lens. That's because, knowing that this was coming, I didn't want them to feel the cameras were intrusive. I put one camera up in the gantry shooting down, so they didn't see it. I moved the other camera back to the end of the studio. So they didn't really know the cameras were there, which gave them the opportunity to get it off their chest. But I knew I wanted to show the disagreement between these two musicians.
Besides John and Yoko, was there anything else the Beatles insisted on cutting?
No, I was just desperately trying to hang on to the warts-and-all bit of it. I did leave a couple of them in. One was the argument, the other is when Paul is talking to John about playing live, and the shot is of the back of Paul's head as he's yammering on, and John looks like he's about to die from boredom. [Laughs] And that was a tough one to keep in.
How did the famous rooftop concert come about?
Originally, the project was going be a television special, and the documentary footage was going to be used to support the television special. Then, when we realized we weren't going to do the television special, I had this idea to at least aim somewhere, and to try to do some kind of concert. The great thing about the roof concert is, it's the last time they played together in any kind of public setting. We have it on film -- the last time the most socially and musically influential group of the century played together. And they were happy up there that cold day.
There have been rumors that the police bust that ended the performance was staged. True?
It was 100 percent real. We had a sense that there would be some ruckus about noise or whatever. And Apple was right around the corner from the police station. The police came around because they had some complaints from the Blue Meanies next door who owned the clothing factory. But what was so sweet was that when the policemen came up on the roof, they were so thrilled. Especially that young policeman you see in the film -- you know he went home and told his wife not that he stopped the show, but that he was on the roof to hear the Beatles play.
