Wear a helmet, don't wear a helmet; you choose. We just want you to ride.
It's probably no surprise to our regular readers that by and large, the most contentious issue you write to us about is helmets. Helmet feedback floods our inbox, Facebook page, Twitter feed and website more than any other subject related to riding a bike. Each time we publish a photo of someone not wearing a helmet we either get yelled at or applauded. So it's time we officially share our opinion on the subject with you.
We don't believe the law should require helmets for people over the age of 16. We believe that adults should have the right to choose whether or not they wear a helmet. It feels wrong and repressive living in a city where cyclists are targeted by the police and looked down on by other citizens for not wearing a helmet. Making people who choose to respectfully travel by bike, while following the rules of the road, become the victims of attacks and fines is unreasonable.
At best, helmets may reduce the consequences of collisions, but they cannot stop a crash from happening in the first place. Helmet arguments focus much-needed energy away from what really matters in making cities safe for cycling: lower (and enforced) speed limits and separated and connected bike infrastructure.
We understand that our readers often have personal stories of loved ones who feel that they were saved by wearing helmet. We definitely won't argue that helmets don't save lives when people fall and hit their heads. In some cases we are sure that helmets have saved lives.
But we don't need to police helmet use; it is a waste of resources and a waste of our time as promoters of safe, everyday cycling for transportation. Before you write us about helmets, please first write a letter to your local representative asking for better bike infrastructure and separated bike lanes. We need to move the conversation forward. We need to unify our voices and put our energy towards lobbying for infrastructure and enforced universal lower speed limits. Tell your friends why we need better bicycle infrastructure. Write more letters to local politicians. Don't remain silent when it comes to making cycling safer for everyone.
Momentum Mag will continue to publish photographs of people biking with and without helmets because we proudly promote the bicycle as transportation and present everyday people riding bikes in everyday situations in whatever clothing and accessories they choose to wear. We need more role models and we need to take more action towards better cycling conditions. Encourage, don't discourage. Our cities need the voices of people who ride bikes to unify and fight as allies, not judgmental enemies.
Please help us move the conversation beyond helmets. We all have much more important things to talk about.

Cramer: Energy Independence Is Upon Us
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Lindsey Bell: Last night, Jim had Core Labs (CLB) on Mad Money, and the big news here is there is not only one, but two, undiscovered big shales here in the U.S. How big are we talking?
Jim Cramer: OK. You know, sometimes you get an interview and you realize that the takeaways are so huge that it's kind of mind-blowing. David Demshur is a very conservative man, he's the CEO. He came on and he point-blank said, "Eagle Ford, Bakken are huge shales, and there is definitely one other out there, maybe two." Now, how big are these? Mark Papa, the CEO of EOG Resources (EOG), has said that Eagle Ford is a Saudi Arabian-like field. That means everywhere you put a drill bit, you find stuff. Bakken has already been considered to be as big as Prudhoe Bay, the 1960s find that was the largest find in 50 years. Bakken is not as big as Eagle Ford, but they're both gigantic. The fact that there's a third could mean that we won't even have to import oil to North America in 2015.
Lindsey Bell: Wow. That soon.
Jim Cramer: Yes. Much quicker than people realize. It's possible, if there are two finds, that the continental United States itself, not just the North American continent, could be energy self-sufficient by, say, 2017, 2018. This is remarkable. Now, why should Core Labs know? Lindsey, they are the guys who map out the reservoirs. So there isn't anyone in better shape to know.At the same time, benefiting Core Labs is Mexico, which is really beginning to drill very aggressively after multiple years where they weren't. They all have money because they're deregulating PEMEX. It actually costs money to buy gasoline now in Mexico. I think more important for Core Labs is Iraq. Now, we always heard that Iraq had the possibility of producing 10 million barrels. That was in 2002. The drilling in Iraq, it looks like it belongs to Core Labs. I thought Schlumberger (SLB) would be bigger. Schlumberger does compete with them in some ways, but this is a big story for Core Labs. The stock is not up enough, and it's a huge story for America if we really do have those two finds.

text: Horner reaffirms dissatisfaction with 'tyre gate' verdict 29 June, 2013 Ross Brawn and Christian Horner during the FIA press conference at Silverstone Christian Horner re-affirmed his dissatisfaction with the verdict and sentence delivered to Mercedes, for their role in the 'tyre-gate' test, by the FIA tribunal in Paris. Speaking during the FIA press conference, on Friday, at Silverstone Horner commented. "The penalty they applied? I have to be a bit careful because he's bigger than I am, sitting next to me!," said the Red Bull boss with reference to Ross Brawn who sat next to him on the interviewee panel. Adding, "Possibly it was a bit soft but, you know, it was a fair process and it was certainly interesting to see how it panned out. I think the biggest thing to come out of it is clarity." "I'm bound to disagree with Christian," retorted Brawn. (GP247) Subbed by AJN.

That is a fact that is easily proven It will be interesting if Mercedes goes on to finish at the podium (or even win!) at Silverstone – a circuit, given the fast corners, known to be hard on tires. Then we will be absolutely certain that every single officer at Mercedes F1 team, that was crying "we did NOT get an unfair advantage at the test" was lying. quattro @Matthias Sporting fans will leave – when a new formula is introduced by any of the more respectable teams. Then you can happily continue enjoying F1, the pinnacle of Getting away with Sporting Cheating. Fairly terrace OOOOOOHHHH, Christian Horner is big man! What a wimp! Honestly, Red Bull have presented how many illegal cars over the last few years? They always got away with it, just having to "Change the configuration before the next race weekend." He wants a 100 milliion dollar fine for a team that the FIA confirmed "acted in good faith" and "never had any reason to believe they had contravened the current rules in any way." Then he sits next to Brawn and……… whimps out! Look Horner, if u feel strongly about it, Man up and say it in front of Brawn and lay your cards on the table. But he won't do that. he won't stand up to lady-boy Vettel, so he won't stand up to Brawn. I don't know what I feel about the test. It does seem dodgy, but Merc GP have plausible deniability. I just hate all the whinging and whining about it. Senna was a douchebag on track, but he had the guts to say stuff to people's faces. Schumacher was a hard-nosed dude (and an occasional 'cheat'), but backed that up by confronting people … remember Coulthard @ Spa 1998?

Gov. Pat Quinn is defending the state's new civil unions law in a dispute over adoptions with Catholic Charities.
State officials say they won't renew foster care and adoption contracts with the group that has received state money for placing children.
Quinn has sent letters to the four remaining Catholic Charities agencies that place children letting them know Illinois won't accept contracts because they won't comply with the civil unions law. The agencies are in the dioceses of Peoria, Joliet, Springfield and Belleville.
Some Catholic groups say the new civil unions law, which gives gay couples many of the same rights as married couples, threatens their religious beliefs.
Quinn says Catholic Charities has "made a choice" and Illinois has a law and isn't going back.

Ester Dean Visits '106 & Park,' Talks Missy Elliott Single
Ester Dean was full of life when she visited "106 & Park" to promote Pitch Perfect. The singer-songwriter, who's written hits for Beyoncé, Rihanna, and Katy Perry, plays Cynthia Rose in the musical comedy, in theaters October 5.
"Cynthia is a free-spirited lady lover and I grab a lot of breasts, a lot of booty," said Ester, who rocked red braids and a leopard-print jacket. "Maybe if Nicki [Minaj] would have got in the film, she would have been my love interest or something."
Ester is gearing up for the release of her first single "How You Love It" featuring Missy Elliott. "It's super hood rich," she revealed. "It's dirty. It's nasty. It makes you want to go get a boo. It's a winter song, but it's awesome. [Missy] went off."
Her debut album, tentatively titled Story Never Told, is complete and awaiting a release date.

Starfleet Mission Operations (or Starfleet Mission Operations Division or Starfleet Mission Operations Unit) was the division of Starfleet in charge of assigning missions. It was originally a member of Earth Starfleet. (Star Trek: Enterprise)
In 2364, there were several events connected to this division:
- On stardate 41305.3, this division ordered the USS Mustang to the Gamma Argus system for a cultural survey and, possible, first contact event with the inhabitants of Gamma Argus II.
- Between 41305.3 and 41417.3, this division denied a request for additional fuel allotment from the USS Tycho.
- On stardate 41417.3, this division denied a fuel allotment request by the USS Copernicus.
- On stardate 41547.8, this division sent a list of names that had been cleared for a top secret project to the USS Matte Fringe.
- Prior to stardate 41775, the division had ordered a decrease in sensor drone coverage of sectors 004 to 010. This decrease was offset by an increase in drone coverage of sectors 45 to 52. Active patrol duty in the former sectors required approval from this agency. (Portions of the Romulan Neutral Zone were located in these sectors.) (TNG: "Conspiracy")

Team Schierl Companies Charitable Giving Fund and Sentry Insurance have teamed up with the help of community members to create the first Toast to the ARTS, which will be held Saturday, Oct. 6, from 7 to 10 p.m. at SentryWorld, 601 N. Michigan Ave., Stevens Point.
In 2004, the Arts Alliance of Portage County (AAPC) started an endowment fund at the Community Foundation of Central Wisconsin (CFCW). The Arts & Culture Mission Fund's (ACMF) annual grant allocations directly aid Portage County arts and culture. However, in 2011, budget cuts affected the Wisconsin Arts Board (WAB), drastically reducing the budget. At this time, the WAB merged with the Department of Tourism. The cuts put new limits on funding for local art organizations.
"Art organizations across the state are looking for opportunities to generate additional long-term funding to compensate for Wisconsin Arts Board budget cuts," said Bill Schierl Toast Committee member and Team Schierl Companies co-CEO. "We have a strong arts and culture community in Portage County. Team Schierl Companies wanted to develop an event that showcased what we have and would ensure Portage County's arts and culture financial future."

Health Tip: Are Your Child's Tantrums Dangerous?
(HealthDay News) -- Parents often think of a child's tantrum as a typical part of growing up. But sometimes there are warning signs that should prompt a call to the pediatrician.
The Cleveland Clinic mentions these examples:
Tantrums that still occur or worsen after your child turns 4 years old.

City files emergency motion against Congress Theater after site fails inspection
BY TINA SFONDELES Staff Reporter email@example.com April 17, 2013 7:00PM
Updated: May 19, 2013 7:51AM
The city threw the book at the Congress Theater Wednesday after its latest failed inspection, filing an emergency motion that could force controversial owner Eddie Carranza to close the theater and couldgive police the power to remove him if he doesn't do so himself.
The lengthy motion details 26 violations at the theater in the 2100 block of North Milwaukee Avenue, including a faulty electrical system, bare electrical cable wires strewn throughout the basement and defective lights.
"Based on the dangerous and hazardous nature of the building code violations, it is clear that the Congress Theater is a public nuisance and the continued operation of the business poses a continued harm to the occupants and the public," the motion said.
The theater's ventilation system above the stage, which is designed to vent flames and smoke in case of a fire is "totally disabled," Monday's inspection revealed. "This condition poses an extremely dangerous hazard as the flames and smoke will back draft into the occupied auditorium putting all patrons at risk."
The ventilation system is inoperable, with the vents blocked and sealed, according to the documents.
"There is no fresh air supply to patrons, nor is there any exhaust of polluted air from the theater," court documents show.
Other violations include missing fire extinguishers and carbon monoxide detectors and an "old and dilapidated" catwalk used for lighting, which is at risk of collapsing.
"This condition poses a hazard to any unexpecting employee," the document said.
Carranza must appear for a preliminary hearing before Judge James McGing on Thursday at the Daley Center. If the court issues a preliminary injunction, the theater will be prohibited from being rented, leased or occupied.
If Carranza doesn't immediately leave the theater, the injunction would give police power to help get him out.
The motion was submitted Wednesday morning by the city's senior counsel Kimberly Roberts and is the latest of troubles for Carranza, who is already facing administrative hearings with the Chicago Liquor Commission and deleterious impact and public nuisance hearings that could result in the revocation of licenses. His next hearing is scheduled for April 30.

"Easy to make and delicious with grilled cheese. I didn't use feta because of my sandwich so I needed to add some salt. Will definitely make again!"
"I really liked this dip. We didn't make the chips that were in the recipe, but we used the suggestions made. I liked the graham cracker and apples! Thanks for a healthy recipe!"
"I used this recipe with Costco's frozen Alaskan cod and it was delicious. Thank you for posting this recipe...I didn't even notice a recipe on the bag!"
"We LOVE these cookies. I changed the glaze recipe since I ran out of lemon juice with the cookies. I used 1/3 cup powdered sugar, a few drops (7 or 8) of pure lemon extract and minced lemon zest. It only frosted about 15 cookies, which is great since I plan on freezing the rest!"
"Loved it! I used 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1 cup white whole wheat flour (both made by King Arthur Flour Co.). Delish!"
"One of my favorites! I had evaporated milk to use and so I did 1 cup evaporated milk and 1 cup skim milk. It was super rich and creamy without the guilt of cream!"
"A new winter favorite. I made the recipe as is and served with vanilla ice cream. My hubby and I really enjoyed it."
"I believe this is the same recipe from a Taste of Home magazine I have. We made them tonight and they are wonderful. Very light and fluffy. I was able to make 16 instead of 12 and they were still a good size for us."
"I prefer not to have the canned stuff so this is a great alternative. Thank you!"

Great product and excellent service! A little wider than the original that came with my amazing Tucker IWB holster. I didn't think they could possibly make it any better than the original, but they did. Thanks!
Posted by Unknown on 11th May 2014
Really nice replacement clips. Strong, but won't damage a good belt. Very secure. I'm putting these on all my IWB holsters.305

Nice replacement clips for IWB holster. Exactly as stated on website. Fast shipping.
Posted by Gene Martinez on 23rd Feb 2014
My Mini IWB Holster is a lovely piece of work. Somehow I broke the clip. Problem solved; and I still have an extra clip.
Posted by Bill Borden on 23rd Dec 2013
I thought the new slim line clips were tough to use when I first put them on, but now I love them. Holster secures around my belt and will not slip up. The original clips on my IWB holster, which is the best I have ever had; would occasionally slip up over my belt. Thanks for another good product.

Have a Galco Holster with cheap plastic clips that did not work with a real gun belt. Purchased these 1.5 inch clips from Tucker, received them promptly and they work perfectly. Holster is much easier to use. I also orders a Answer recently and am anxiouly awaiting its arrival. I will now have extra clips. Always impressed with the service at Tucker. I like the personal touch in the holsters and every day communications.
Posted by Al on 29th Sep 2013
I had the standard clips break on me a couple of times the past 4 years om my Answer. I was wearing the Answer almost every single day though. Rob was nice enough to suggest and send me these slim clips. It makes a big difference the way the bottom now clips under your belt. Just take your time when removing your holster and these clips should last a lifetime. Thank-you Rob!
Posted by Jesse Rowley on 22nd Sep 2013
Haven't had any break yet but I'm glad someone suggested keeping an extra set. I ordered 3! I really like the slimline clips as they really hold "The Answer IWB" in place well with the ranger belts. I found very quickly there wasn't another belt I was satisfied with but with these clips and Robs belts, you have a solid and dependable setup.

I have started carrying a Colt Defender 1911 in 45ACP.
Giving up my 38LCR and my 40 Slim.
I ordered the TuckerIWB holster with J hooks for the Colt.
This is one heavy side arm and it did a number on the blue jeans.
I ordered a pair of Slimline clips that put the load on my belt and every thing was fine.
Posted by Doug Hawkins on 7th Dec 2012
Got these as replacements for a broken set. Great clips. Lower profile, but still strong enough to give confidence.

Six Michigan Sites Nominated To National Register Of Historic Places
Ludington State Park Structure, Downtown Iron Mountain Among Recommended Properties
LANSING, Mich., Feb. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The State Historic Preservation Review Board approved the nomination of six properties to the National Register of Historic Places at its January 25 meeting, including the Lake Michigan Beach House at Ludington State Park and the Iron Mountain Central Historic District.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110419/MM85741LOGO)
"The nomination of historic buildings to the National Register of Historic Places draws attention to structures located in our downtowns, small towns and our state parks," said State Historic Preservation Officer Brian Conway. "The variety of historic sites listed in the register represents the diversity of historic architecture throughout Michigan. These buildings make our communities – and our state as a whole – unique."The review board nominated the following resources to the national register:
- The Lake Michigan Beach House at Ludington State Park near Ludington was built by the local Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) Camp Ludington-Pere Marquette SP-2 in 1935, using bricks reportedly salvaged from an old salt plant located in Ludington with pressed mortar style of construction. This style of construction has not been found at any other state park in Michigan. Ludington State Park is significant among the Michigan state parks due to the extensive role that the Civilian Conservation Corps played in its development. The arrival of the CCC in 1933 began the development at this state park and continued until the corps was disbanded in 1941. A number of buildings designed by Ralph B. Herrick and park improvements constructed by CCC Camp Ludington-Pere Marquette SP-2 still exist today. The Lake Michigan Beach House is the largest and most intact of the CCC-built structures in the park.
- The expansive Iron Mountain Central Historic District, which encompasses Iron Mountain's downtown and adjacent historic school and church buildings. The district contains 150 historic resources in all. These date mostly from the early 1880s to the mid-1960s, but include 12 newer buildings. Landmark buildings include the 1896 Dickinson County Courthouse building; Late Victorian commercial blocks built with walls of local, red, Iron Mountain sandstone; Neoclassical and Art Deco former bank buildings; a Mission Revival-influenced commercial building; a Neoclassical movie theater; large Late Victorian, Neo-Gothic, and Arts-and-Crafts-influenced churches; and Neoclassical and Art Deco schools.
- Norwegian Lutheran Church Complex, 10430 S. Leer Rd., Leer, Long Rapids Township, Alpena County
- The Wright Opera House Block Complex, 101-113 E. Superior St., and 408 N. State St., Alma, Gratiot County
- The Lower Trout Lake Bathhouse Complex and Contact Station at Bald Mountain Recreation Area, 800 W. M-116, near Lake Orion, Oakland County, and the
- The Emanuel and Elizabeth (Burkhardt) Rentschler Farmstead, 1265 E. Michigan Ave., Saline, Washtenaw County.

Volleyball: Jefferson advances to Class AA Final Four; Buford marches on
By staff reports
SAVANNAH - The Jefferson girls volleyball team continues to reach uncharted waters.
The Lady Dragons started strong and then held on for a thrilling 3-2 win over St. Vincents Saturday in the quarterfinal round of the Class AA state playoffs.
It is the first time in program history that Jefferson (34-11) has advanced to the Final Four of the playoffs. The Lady Dragons are the only public school still remaining in the Class AA tournament.
Meanwhile, Buford also advanced to the Class AAA "Final Four" on Saturday courtesy a 3-0 defeat of North Oconee at home. And, in Class AAAA, Chestatee saw its thrilling campaign come to an end with a 3-0 defeat to top-seeded Columbus.
Jefferson, the No. 5 seed in Class AA, jumped out to an early 2-0 lead taking the first two sets 25-22, 25-22. St. Vincents, the No. 4 seed, rallied to win the next two sets by identical 25-13 scores setting up a deciding fifth set. The Lady Dragons would regroup to win the final set 15-8 and stay alive.
"In my long career, which includes close to 600 matches, I have never been a part of a more intense match," Jefferson coach Mike Paul said. "During the break (before the final set)I asked our girls to dig deep and try to find another level. They rose to the challenge yet again.
Grace Williamson paced Jefferson with eight kills and 10 digs. Lindsey Nilsen added five kills and four blocks, Abby wood had five kills, six digs, and one block, and Paige Watson had four digs and eight assists for the Lady Dragons.
Madison Corbett had eight assists, Bre Arbanas had three kills, and Olivia Przybysz added seven digs for Jefferson. Daniela Franco and Avery Mixon each had one block for the Lady Dragons.
Jefferson next will take on top seed Westminster on Wednesday for a berth in the state finals. Westminster was the state runner-up last season.
In Class AAA, Buford will take on Area 5-AAA nemesis St. Pius -- which finished second behind fellow 5-AAA team Blessed Trinity in 2013.

Oakland County Commissioner John Scott says another John Scott is trying to run him out of office with fraud
Updated On: Oct 11 2012 04:37:51 PM EDT
Oakland County Commissioner John Scott, who is running for re-election, got into a hint of trouble this past summer.
Scott says another John Scott with the middle name of Charles, has been put on the ballot in Oakland County to confuse voters and get him, the incumbent, out of office.
John Charles Scott, a 22-year-old Eastern Michigan University student from West Bloomfield, wanted to get on the ballot as an independent. He was collecting signatures.
The fraud charge comes in when incumbent Scott got a hold of the signatures and found names of his own supporters. He says student Scott was purposely trying to confuse voters in order to get him out of office.
Commissioner Scott, a Waterford Republican, paid a $100 fee by May 15 to get on the ballot. He did not solicit signatures.
The Oakland County chief assistant prosecutor said this type of thing warrants a misdemeanor fraud charge.
It's too late to get the John Charles Scott charged with fraud off of the ballot.
Both John Scotts and a Democratic candidate will appear on the Oakland County November ballot.
John Charles Scott, the student, has retained a lawyer and has a court date Thursday morning.

Online Tax Filing Increases
Professional Service Still Preferred
NEW YORK -- As tax season approaches, an increasing number of people plan to file their federal taxes online, according to the Consumer Internet Barometer.
Forty percent plan to file online, up from 34 percent three years ago. More than two-thirds of consumers report having filed online for three years or more, up from less than 55 percent in 2005.
"Given the many online tax filing alternatives and payment options, such as IRS E-file, Free File and direct deposit options, it's not surprising that every year an increasing number of consumers are filing electronically," says Lynn Franco, Director of The Conference Board Consumer Research Center. "And, once they file online, they tend to stay online."
The Consumer Internet Barometer -- produced by The Conference Board, the global business research and membership organization, and TNS, a global market insight and information group -- surveys 10,000 households across the country and tracks who's doing what on the Internet.
More consumers are comfortable filing their taxes online, compared to other financial transactions. The survey finds that while half are "extremely concerned" when banking or paying bills online, only 44 percent express similar concerns when filing taxes online.
Although the gender gap has closed over the years, the survey finds that women still express greater concern than men about banking, paying bills, brokering trades and filing taxes online.
Professional Service Still Preferred Over Do-It-Yourself Software
The percentage of Internet users who are filing their federal taxes offline has steadily decreased over the past several years as more consumers opt for the convenience, speed, ease-of-use and increasing options available to online filers. The most popular reasons for not filing online are that the consumer does not do his or her own taxes, and concerns about transmitting personal information over the Internet.
"Online identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in industrialized nations," says David Stark, Vice President and North America Privacy Officer of TNS. "Several consumers have either been victims of cyber-crime or know people who have. Even though online tax filing is secure, the reluctance of some consumers to try it is understandable."
Among consumers intending to file their federal taxes online, over 40 percent intend to use a professional service, with women more likely than men to seek assistance. The second most popular method, preferred by one-third of online filers, is do-it-yourself tax software. Male filers are more likely than female filers to use tax software. Only about one-fifth of online filers intend to use IRS E-file.
About 72 percent of online federal tax filers chose to receive their 2006 tax refund last year by direct deposit, while less than 15 percent requested a check.

Social media has provided a platform for just about anyone looking for one to project a certain image of themselves. It has made us, in many ways, more accessible to one another, and more accountable, too. But social media can be a road to career trouble. While Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and the like can be an excellent way for those searching for work to market themselves—many companies use social media for recruiting purposes, seeking out potential employers who share their philosophy or have good ideas—social media can also be a way for employers to screen out employees. That is, while you're busy crafting your personal image, potential employers are busy using it to predict how you might be as an employee.
There's proof: A survey by careerbuilder.com found that nearly half of all employers use social networking sites to research job candidates, rejecting those whose social media profiles include provocative photos, evidence of drug use or drinking, negative posts about previous employers or co-workers, or comments that might be interpreted as racist, sexist, or ageist. Employers call on social media to monitor and respond to their current employees, too. Who could forget the Justine Sacco scandal, in which the PR exec pressed send on a last minute tweet before boarding a 12-hour flight: "Going to Africa. Hope I don't get AIDS. Just kidding. I'm white!" By the time she landed, she had been publicly canned.

Marriage and Family Enrichment Incorporated is a Utah-based non-profit organization formed in 1978 by Dr. Victor B. Cline and his wife, Lois, for the purpose of enriching marriage and family life. Its format and curriculum is the result of over 35 years of careful planning and research. The benefits have been uniformly positive for attending couples.
We are sad to announce the passing of our beloved leader of Marriage Enrichment, Dr. Victor B. Cline. Vic died the morning of January 15th at home with his wife, Lois, and family by his side. We who have worked with him and Lois for so many years feel a great loss in our hearts. All his life he gave so freely and so much of the gifts Heavenly Father blessed him with. Many times after doing a Marriage Enrichment Weekend, we leader couples would be talking about our experience and our hopes for the couples who had been there. Then Vic would always say, "We give our gifts, and it is up to them what they do with them." The gifts of love, wisdom, understanding, humor, kindness, and above all faith in his Heavenly Father and the institution of marriage have blessed and will continue to bless many lives, many families, many generations. We send our love and prayers to our dear Lois and all his family.

Thanksgiving always seems a little special around here in the Yampa Valley. As the days grow shorter and the bears start to settle down for their Winter's nap, our sights change form summer to winter. The bikes get tucked away for a few months and the skis are pulled down from the rafters. The quite nights are replaced by the humming sounds of the snow guns. The skis season is once again upon us. We are in for a wonderful winter, full of many wonderful activities. I can't wait to share my season with you, so tune in daily to the Straight Talkers reports and most importantly get out and make some turns.
Sunshine and Bluebirds skies were on the breakfast menu this morning as I strapped my skis on for the first time this season. I always get excited for the first turns of the season and this year was no exception . I've been skiing Steamboat for over 20 years and every season brings a new sense excitement.
Hats off the the snowmaking crew for doing a wonderful job getting the mountain open and in great shape. We can use some help from Mother Nature with the white stuff, but the cold nights have been very favorable for snowmaking. The guns have been out in full force and Heavenly Daze and Vogue are in good shape. My freshly tuned skis held a solid edge as I carved my first turns. The packed powder base is firm but with temperatures expected into the high 40's, the snow should soften up by mid-morning.
Given the limited terrain, a turn's a turn. It's just fun to get out and slide on some snow. Have a great day on the slopes and don't forget to take in the first free concert this afternoon. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band kicks off the season with their award-winnning New Orleans-style music. Concert starts at 2:00 PM, giving you plenty of time to make some turns.
Think Snow!

Me and my friend ordered one seafood pancake and two lunch BBQ sets, one beef and one chicken. The meet was freshly cooked in front of us and it was delicious! Our bill was 35 pounds which was not cheap but worth it. Soon we'll be back there for another lunch BBQ.

WoW Moviewatch: How 2 Machinima, Episode 1

Filed under: Machinima, Humor, WoW Moviewatch
Filed under: Machinima, Humor, WoW Moviewatch
Thanks for that, I've been looking for an intro to machinima tutorial for a while actually. Excellent.
Thanks for the "Drewbie "I've never met a cameo I didn't like"" thing Moo. Lovely.
Hey now. I like your cameos!
Don't listen to Drewbie. I thought it was funny :)
It's just her way of begging you guys to make another Grind.
Nice one, Ian.
And it just wouldn't have been complete without Kael, hehe!
Sigh, this really should not have been the first of the series. Look, it's great that people are providing tutorials, especially ones so well produced as this, but the last thing you should b doing is encouraging people to start with model/map-viewer. A lot of REALLY TERRIBLE machinima is produced by people who think model/map-viewer is the way to start off.
Lest we forget the original point of machinima? Making movies within the boundries of a game? I honestly don't believe that it's possible for somebody new to the machinima scene to have the necessary perspective to make a good movie, without making some in-game first. Model/Map-viewer should be a LAST RESORT, when the scene you're wanting to do proves to be impossible to do within the bounds of the game. It should not be the first port of call.
Where do we find your library of films??
Oh I'm sorry, were you under the impression that a critic also had to be a film-maker? Perhaps your view of reality needs readjusting.
Dude, give it a rest. Really.
That's cool, then. You're well within your rights to keep right on talkin'.
A little less attitude than you usually express when posting would be welcomed with open arms, however.
Nice job, Ian, and TB - does it really matter that this is a modelviewer tutorial? It's a nice little technical tutorial, not a 'how to make a good film' tutorial - and, in my opinion, it's the latter that that most people really DO need. It's the quality of writing, acting, directing, etc. that will set some films apart from others, and whatever filming/compositing method used is extremely secondary.
Well said, Jun!
Jun, that's exactly my point. Surely the first part of a tutorial should not be showing people how to model-view, but giving them advice on how to take good shots, and how to structure a story.
And nice cheer-leading Badger, when you summon up the intellectual fortitude to make a worthwhile contribution, call me. In the meantime, let the grownups talk.
Dude, RELAX. You're talking about movies made from VIDEO GAME FOOTAGE.
I didn't insult you, so why insult me? What the hell, man?
There's the problem right there, you don't treat the genre seriously, while simultaneously trying to tell those of us that do give a damn about it, that we shouldn't. We should, and we will, and nothing you can say is going to change that. If I choose to spend some time doing this kind of thing then who are you to tell me not to?
And if you took offense, that's your problem really. You're cheer-leading, which is generally frowned upon in debates. Sorry if I stung you with a bit of reality there. Maybe if you had something worthwhile to add to the discussion I wouldn't be treating you that way.
That's all well and good, dude - in fact, it's admirable that you can be so driven on something so many other people would probably consider trivial - but 'taking it seriously' doesn't mean you have to be confrontational about it.
Nothing wrong with being confrontational when you perceive a wrong, in fact, I'd say that's a pretty natural reaction.
Let me try and clarify for the benefit of people that think I do this kind of thing merely to bash people. If you want to be taken seriously, as machinimators then you need to learn how to deal with criticism. Nothing I'm saying is nonsense, nor is it an ego-trip, slanderous, lies or any other such inappropriate term. How are outsiders going to view the machinima scene, when they look and see established creators and their fanbois, acting like children when presented with the opinions of a critic? Is there anything wrong with my message, or are you merely skimming my words and applying whatever meaning you think I might be getting at to them? Would you even try and deny that film-making, no matter what the medium, should be built on the basic foundation of a good story, and that should be the priority at first instance?
Your unwillingness to accept constructive criticism hampers your development as artists. You think I haven't been criticized before? Of course, frequently, but the difference is that some of that criticism was valid, and it helped me become better at what I do. I encourage people to constructively criticize, by doing so, they're doing artists and producers a service. A man wiser than I recently said this
"The cruellest thing you can do to an artist is tell them their work is flawless when it isn't."
You need to stop taking criticism personally, because it's not intended to be so. The only people that give lengthy constructive criticism are the ones who care enough about your work, and the scene and it's development in general, to devote their time to writing such a thing. There is nothing wrong with being direct, nor forward, nor even confrontational, it merely demonstrates a sufficient passion for the genre.
So really, you've got two choices. You can continue to listen to fanbois that tell you everything you do is perfect and awesome and how they'd just love to copulate with you at the earliest opportunity, or you can listen to somebody who's not exactly speaking from a position of inexperience, who writes 'novelettes' of constructive criticism, with the sole intent of trying to help the machinima scene develop into a serious genre of film-making, rather than a fandom-infested hobby.
Your call.

Galena presents HER2 screening data results from NeuVax Phase 3 clinical trial
Galena Biopharma announced that initial immunohistochemistry, or IHC, screening data from the NeuVax Phase 3 PRESENT, or Prevention of Recurrence in Early-Stage, Node-Positive Breast Cancer with Low to Intermediate HER2 Expression with NeuVax Treatment, trial was presented at the 2014 San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium, or SABCS. The poster, entitled, "HER2 Discordant Results in Local vs. Central Testing in the Phase 3 Nelipepimut-S Trial and Implementation of Leica Bond Oracle HER2 Immunohistochemistry System for Low and Intermediate Levels of HER2 Protein Expression as a Companion Diagnostic," demonstrated that with the implementation of the Leica Bond Oracle HER2 IHC assay, preliminary limited data indicated additional patients met HER2 eligibility for PRESENT and the assay identified more precisely patients at HER2 1+ and 2+. As part of the PRESENT trial, Galena has implemented central laboratory testing for all potential patients to confirm validated and robust entry criteria, and ensure the enrollment of the targeted patient population. To improve accuracy and specificity for the HER2 1+ and 2+ status testing, and develop a companion diagnostic for NeuVax, the Leica Bond Oracle HER2 IHC system has been incorporated as central HER2 IHC screening for the PRESENT study.

Description: An online journal to accompany the Poetess Archive. http://unixgen.muohio.edu/~poetess/PAJournal/index.html
Description: Accused of causing an "epidemic" and inspiring an "unmasculine and unbawdy age," the literary annual of 1820s England survived, even thrived from the attention offered by its readers despite - or as Katherine D. Harris argues, because of - its "feminine" writing and tantalizing presentation. Wrapped in beautiful bindings and filled with poems, prose and engravings, literary annuals provide an integral view of public desire, literary development, authorial consciousness and empowering femininity. Relying on the material text, its literary contents and contemporary reviews, Harris presents a literary history that recuperates the annual as a literary genre, popular phenomenon in print culture, powerful feminine form and cultural marker of early nineteenth-century "Englishness."

Diagnosed with Cancer on Her 5th Birthday, 9-Year-Old Erica Is Now Going Strong
If anyone asks her about the scar on her leg, she simply answers, "I had cancer."
Erica, an active and high-spirited third grader, refers to her experience with cancer as casually as another child might talk about a sprained ankle. At the age of 5, she was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma, an aggressive bone cancer. "She's 9 now," says her mother, Robyn, "and she is more concerned about her orthodontist appointments and braces than she ever seemed to be about chemotherapy."
A Diagnosis of Cancer
In the spring of 2000, Erica was overcome by leg pain so severe that her concerned parents rushed her to the emergency room, where doctors found a suspicious growth. It was on her 5th birthday that Erica got a surprise that no parent would ever wish for his or her child: a diagnosis of cancer.
Robyn was already familiar with the outstanding attention children receive from the staff at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital. Her niece had been treated there for a blood disorder, and Robyn witnessed this level of care firsthand as she accompanied her sister-in-law. With Erica and her family now facing a diagnosis of cancer, the decision to place her in the care of Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital was simple.
Normalcy in the Face of Cancer
"In the beginning, it was devastating," says Robyn. "At first, we told Erica that she had a boo-boo on her leg and the doctors were going to fix it. However, when we found out how serious it was, we were very honest with her." Erica's parents told her she had cancer and explained what that meant in terms that a 5-year-old could understand. "She was so good about it," says Robyn. "I look at her now and can't believe what she went through."
One of the keys to helping Erica through this two-year battle was to make her life as normal as possible. "The staff at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital told us it's all in the attitude of the parents, so my husband, Ray, and I made a pact to treat her normally every step of the way," says Robyn.
While Erica remembers what it was like to go through chemotherapy, she is quicker to recall the special food the nurses would bring her and the hospital's playroom, where she made fuse-bead crafts and played in the toy kitchen. "The staff at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital was like family, and Erica was a part of it all," says Robyn. "I was so amazed when one member of the staff gave Erica a baseball signed by Joe DiMaggio. We asked all of the doctors and nurses to sign it, too." And when things seemed more than Erica could handle, the child life specialists or Lotsy Dotsy, the resident clown, were always on hand to cheer her up.
Comprehensive Treatment
Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital provides the most comprehensive pediatric hematology and oncology program in the region. Erica and other pediatric cancer patients receive medical care from a dedicated team of pediatric oncologists, nurses and specialty support staff.
Erica received one year of chemotherapy under the care of Iftikhar Hanif, MD, pediatric oncologist on the medical staff at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Memorial Regional Hospital and Memorial Hospital West. This was followed by highly specialized surgery performed by Michael Jofe, MD, pediatric orthopedic surgeon on the medical staff at Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital, Memorial Hospital West and Memorial Hospital Pembroke. The procedure, called tibial autographed vascularized fibula surgery, fused a cadaver tibia (shinbone) to Erica's fibula (calf bone). "We removed the cancerous tumor, and also had to remove Erica's tibia," says Dr. Jofe, "but we left the growth plate. Then we put Erica's fibula inside the cadaver tibia, like a hotdog inside a bun, to keep the blood supply intact." This meant that Erica would not lose her leg; in fact, it continues to grow at a normal rate.
Erica's cancer has been in remission for nearly three years, and she is evaluated every few months to monitor her health. For a while after she went into remission, however, every cough would send her mom to the doctor. "We need to treat her like a normal kid, though," says Robyn. "It was all about Erica for a while, but now everything has fallen into place and things are pretty routine."
In addition, Dr. Jofe recently lifted most of the previous physical restrictions placed on Erica. While Erica is advised to forego participation in organized sports, she is free to do anything else she wants. These days, that often means riding her bike, playing on the monkey bars and getting together with her girlfriends.
While she is not shy to tell people she had cancer, Erica says that sometimes she chooses to ignore the questions. But she does have advice for kids likeherself who are facing cancer. "I would tell other kids not to be scared. You'll lose your hair, but you can get a wig," says Erica. "You should go to Joe DiMaggio Children's Hospital because you will have fun, and they'll help you not to be scared. And they have toys."

In this context, e-resource folks generally refer to an aggregator as a vendor who compiles types of data from different sources or publishers into a single collection. Ebsco, Gale and ProQuest are our "Big Three" aggregator vendors. So for example, Ebsco compiles trade magazine and journal articles from 4,600 titles covering many disciplines for the Academic Search Premier database. Similarly, Gale produces the Academic Onefile database of 46+ million articles published since 1980 in journals and magazines across subjects. ABI/Inform is an aggregator database produced by ProQuest with coverage more specific to business related publications. Book Review Digest from Ebsco provides abstracts and indexing of book reviews aggregated from a variety of sources. Aggregators compile information by type (e.g. book reviews, videos), subject (e.g. business, psychology) or a combination of these, but the basic concept is that a vendor other than the original publisher is bringing together disparate sources and providing access in a new form.
Boston Library Consortium
If you don't know a flyleaf from a frontispiece, consult this handy glossary from the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America http://hq.abaa.org/books/antiquarian/abaapages/glossary.html
These are numbered monographs in series (excluding publisher's series which we do not place on standing order). Aleph contains this type of publication to maintain control over receipt, and also to save us from placing separate orders for them. (NOTE: If a series becomes unnumbered, we cancel the standing order.)
Intended to be published in a certain number of volumes like an ordinary continuation, and is assigned one classification number for all volumes; however, each work is a monograph within itself and has individual author/title entries in the OPAC.
Published in volumes, but with a definite cessation point in mind, e.g., a 20-volume encyclopedia. Sometimes all volumes are published at once, in which case we would order all 20 (Monographic Section) and it would not be treated as a continuation. However, if the volumes were published one at a time, we would set up a record and check in each volume as it is received. Example: Complete works of John Milton
Intended to be published in a specific number of volumes, like an ordinary continuation. However, each volume focuses on a specific topic and has individual author/title entry in the OPAC. The volumes are assigned their own call numbers.
Managed by the Dublin Core Metadata Initiative, this is a metadata standard of simple and generic resource description properties. The original 15 elements of core metadata include contributor, creator, coverage, format, language, title, type, etc. The DCMI has recommendations for interoperability, semantics, user guidelines, model-related specifications and syntax guidelines.
Streamlined review procedures for reviewing copy cataloging - used mainly for print monographs but should be applied to other materials whenever possible. Records are checked to make sure that the book and record match in terms of title, author, publishing information, and number of pages. Records must also have a call number, subject headings, and an author in either a 1xx or 7xx field. See FastCat instructions for more information.
Several of these are payment records only, with an indication on the checkin record of what is received on the membership or blanket order. If it is a blanket order, we usually enter the monographs received under title and send them through as "cat seps".
Northeast Research Libraries consortium
A serial publication, published more than once per year, articles by several authors. To be published, as with serials below, until it ceases, etc. (includes newspapers).
Also known as OCLC WorldCat Cataloging Partners. A service from OCLC that delivers OCLC MARC records that match the materials we order through participating vendor partners and set our library's holdings automatically in WorldCat. Currently we get OCLC Promptcat records through YBP. Books ordered through YBP come shelf ready with Promptcat records and call number labels.
Also known as OCLC WorldCat Cataloging Partners. An arrangement between OCLC and a materials vendor by which OCLC delivers MARC records to the Library via EDX or the Product Services Web. Currently, we get PromptCat records through an agreement with YBP. YBP sends a manifest to OCLC with data about the materials we are buying. OCLC identifies a matching record in WorldCat, sets our holdings on WorldCat, and delivers the record to us. YBP prints a call number label and then sends us the book. The branch location on the label that YBP produces is determined by how our AA chart [link] matches the call number. YBP delivers the books shelf-ready, with the call number label applied and other physical processing work already done. Promptcat records receive a brief review according to the FastCat instructions.
In the case of firm orders placed in GOBI for YBP orders, the Library receives brief bibliographic records from YBP and we load with item/order/hol records attached to indicate the status of on-order. The PromptCat record overlays this record. In the process, the initial item record is deleted and replaced with the final item record.
Intended to be published into the future; assigned one call number, but usually each volume deals with one topic and warrants an author/title entry in the OPAC. All volumes sit together on shelf.
A serial publication, published more than once per year, articles by several authors. To be published, as with serials below, until it ceases, etc. (includes newspapers).
Intended to be published indefinitely into the future until it ceases publication, is merged with another title, or title changes.
Physical materials purchased by the Library from specific vendors that are delivered fully processed and ready to be place directly on the shelves. Currently, the Library has a shelf-ready contract with YBP for print monographs. The books are delivered from YBP with barcodes (already linked to item records), call number labels, security strips, book plates, and ownership stamps. MARC records are also delivered to the Library from OCLC via PromptCat [link to PC], by means of an arrangement YBP maintains with OCLC. Promptcat records receive a brief review according to the FastCat instructions and then books are sent straight to the shelves.
Superintendent of Documents Classification is a system of library classification developed in the office of the Superintendent of Documents of the United States Government Printing Office (GPO). The SuDocs call number system is based on the government agency which released the document. Agencies or bureaus under departments have the letter or letters for that department (the "parent agency") and a number unique to the sub-agency or bureau. For example, "A 13" is the Forest Service and "A 93" is the Economic Research Service, both of which are agencies under the Department of Agriculture. The next part of the call number identifies the series or type of publication. The remaining parts of the call number identify the individual publication. The call numbers file alphabetically by letter and then in numerical order by the first group of numbers, then the next group, etc. All numbers are whole numbers. Unlike the Library of Congress call number system used in most of the rest of the library, THERE ARE NO DECIMALS. We no longer use SuDoc numbers to classify government documents. We now use LC classification numbers.
Any type of material which is uncataloged and usually is kept at someone's desk. Most likely this is work-related for internal use.
A consortia of libraries through which we buy or subscribe to some e-resources.
A markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. Used to encode various metadata schemas such as Dublin Core, MODS, EAD, VRA Core, etc. Can also be used to encode MARC metadata.

Saint Leo University is ranked among the nation's most
military-friendly institutions by G.I. Jobs and
Military Advanced Education magazines. The university is
one of only 10 institutions nationwide to be approved by the U.S.
Coast Guard for participation in its new Maritime Law Enforcement
College Partnership Program.
In 1973, Saint Leo University stepped up to serve college
courses and degree programs to the military—before many U.S.
colleges and universities recognized active military, veterans and
their families as an important student community.
In the decades since, Saint Leo University has come to be known
as one of America's largest and most committed providers of higher
education to the U.S. military. Thousands of active duty
servicemembers, veterans and family members worldwide earn
affordable, accessible university degrees through our traditional
Florida campus, extensive online program offerings and Education
Centers on military bases throughout the U.S.
To provide affordable, supportive degree programs designed to
fit the mobile lifestyle of military personnel worldwide, Saint Leo
University partners with:
Saint Leo University has a partnership with University of South
Florida that allows University Campus students to participate in
Air Force and Army ROTC programs at USF. ROTC provides the tools,
training and experiences for students to become officers in the
United States military, while earning money toward their college
In 2008, Saint Leo University commissioned a bronze sculpture
for our campus to commemorate 35 years of educating the men and
women of our nation's armed forces.
On Veterans Day 2010, the sculpture was dedicated in an evening
ceremony that drew more than 400 attendees, many of them veterans
and active duty service members.
The sculpture, "For Those Who Serve," honors the five branches
of the military, as well as our faculty and staff who are devoted
to leading the men and women of the U.S. armed forces toward growth
and fulfillment of purpose.
