It's the most wonderful time of the year – a chance to reach out to those near and far. As you think about your holiday greetings, be they custom or Snapfish, consider these 10 Tips for holiday card giving:
1. Holiday cards are personal. If you celebrate Kwanzaa, send a Kwanzaa card. If you celebrate Hanukkah, send a Hanukkah card.
2. When sending a card to a person's home, address it to the entire family or everyone in the home. Send business contacts' cards to their offices.
3. On family letters, include them in cards to personal contacts, not business contacts. Except politicians, your constituency is interested in what's happening with your family.
4. Ideally, holiday cards should be addressed by hand.
5. If you're sending a card to someone with whom you have not communicated in years, write a quick personal note inside the card.
6. The sentiment in a business holiday card should address your business relationship (i.e. "Wishing you a prosperous New Year.")
7. Happy New Year's cards are always a safe alternative to faith-based cards for business greetings.
8. It's appropriate to send holiday cards anytime during the holiday season.
9. Happy New Year's greetings can go in the mail as late as the first week of January.
10. Remember to include a return address on your card so people can communicate with you – the holidays are a perfect time to reconnect.
If you haven't ordered you cards yet, don't panic. There is still time! TT Patton, a fine stationer in Barrington (123 East Station Street, 847.227.0073), is accepting custom orders through Dec. 17.

Courtesy University of ArkansasHorticulture technician David Dickey with the University of Arkansas checks the berries in a high tunnel used for research in Fayetteville.Locally grown strawberries during the Mid-South winter may become a reality, thanks to research being conducted in hoop houses by the University of Arkansas.
The work, led by Extension fruit and nut specialist Elena Garcia, is one of 18 projects nationwide funded by grants from the National Strawberry Sustainability Initiative, according to a news release.
The berries are planted in September and fruit production begins in late November.
Production continues throughout the winter until early spring.
"In Fayetteville there are some winter markets, so people that are doing this could easily sell their berries for much higher prices than what the supermarkets are selling them for," Garcia said in the release.
The timing also coincides with when Arkansas farmers are ramping up outdoor strawberry production.
The high tunnels, also known as hoop houses, involve an arched frame over which plastic has been stretched.
Costs run about $20,000 to $25,000 per acre to build them, but they can be used over several seasons.
The structures deflect wind and trap warmth, providing passive heat for strawberry plants.
Row covers can be used to further protect the plants during cold snaps.
During the 2011-12 season, yields from the high-tunnels were about one third more than outside production.
What excites Garcia is the berries have better flavor than fruit coming from California or Florida during the winter months.

Oxford (2-0)
The East Side Trojans will have a big challenge ahead of them on Friday when they travel to Oxford to play the Oxford High School Chargers.
In their games with 1A Shaw and 1A John F. Kennedy, the 3A Trojans have had the edge in the numbers game. East Side has 63 players on its roster, while Shaw and JFK have 36 and 30 players respectively on their rosters. East Side won't have the numbers edge in this one as 5A Oxford has 75 players on their roster.
The Chargers have beaten Jackson Prep 32-20 and Starkville 35-24. Jackson Prep is a AAA team in the Mississippi Association of Independent Schools, while Starkville is 6A.
East Side defeated Shaw 32-12 two weeks ago and JFK 40-22 last week. East Side will have to rely on its strong ground game led by Quadre Butler, Taquille Eatmon and Barron Burns. Butler rushed for 176 yards with a touchdown on 26 carries last week, while Eatmon rushed for 87 yards to bring his total up to 193 rushing yards for the season. Eatmon has three rushing TDs this year, while Burns has rushed for 65 yards on 10 carries with two touchdowns. The Trojans have rushed for a total of 541 yards this season for an average of 270.5 yards per game.
Kickoff for Friday's game is set for 7 p.m.

Leland (2-0)
The 4A Cleveland High School Wildcats have gotten off to a slow start.
They lost to 3A Humphreys County 28-6 two weeks ago and 2A West Bolivar 21-7 last week in Cleveland.
The Wildcats will be looking to get that first win against 2A Leland in Leland Friday night. Leland defeated 1A Ray Brooks 41-12 two weeks ago and 1A Shaw 12-7 last week.
Cleveland has had a tough time with its passing game this year as the team is 1-for-11 throwing the football. Against West Bolivar last week, the Wildcats were able to run the football as they racked up 205 yards on the ground. Earnest Butler rushed for 92 yards on 22 carries against the Eagles. Butler is the team's leading rusher with 151 yards on 36 carries this season. Kyran Parker recorded two sacks last week to lead the Wildcats' defense. Linebacker Larry Douglas is the team's leading tackler this season with 16 tackles thus far.

West Bolivar (1-1)

Since the annual game started in 2007, West Bolivar has had the upper hand with a 5-1 series lead. The only time Ray Brooks won the Levee Bowl was in 2008 when the team won 36-30. Since then, the Eagles have won the last four meetings and have outscored the Tigers by a combined score of 155-14.
Deguaderek Rice led the Eagles' defense in their 21-7 win over Cleveland last week with 10 tackles and a 101-yard interception return for a TD. Leonardo Brown and Greg Robb have led the Eagles' ground game this season.
The Tigers have scored just 12 points this season.

Danterris Greyer was on top of his game at quarterback as he completed 7-of-12 passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and one interception and rushed for 92 yards with two touchdowns and a 2-point conversion on 17 carries.
Broad Street's defense led by Devonte Brown, Zekedrick Bingham, Demarcus Alexander, Jalone McGee, Traterrious Britton and Greyer did a great job of forcing turnovers.
Leflore County has suffered a 49-20 loss to Greenwood and a 24-8 defeat at the hands of Amanda Elzy.
Kickoff for Friday's game is set for 7 p.m.
West Talley (1-1) at

Last week, the Hornets held a 22-16 going into the fourth quarter against East Side before losing 40-22. The Hornets got a great game on defense from Damian Hodges, who recorded two sacks. Trevell Parris was the team's leading tackler last week with six tackles, followed by Carnez Gant and Xavier Roberts with five tackles each and Jeremiah Hunter with four solo tackles.
Gant also caught two touchdowns passes, while Ladaris Johnson threw for 91 yards and rushed for 71 yards with two passing TDs and one rushing TD.

Humphreys County (1-1) at
Shaw (0-2)
The 1A Shaw High School Hawks will attempt to secure that first win as they host the 3A Humphreys County Cowboys Friday night in Shaw.
Shaw has had some players compete with some injuries and other sitting out due to injuries. The Hawks have struggled on offense in the early going as the team has scored just 19 points this season with six of those points coming on defense. Shaw has also averaged just 130 yards of offense a game in two contests.
On defense, Lerandel Allen has had a good year for Shaw by recording a team-high 24 tackles including a sack and an interception this season.

Here's What Everyone Wore to Last Night's Prabal Gurung for Target Launch Party
At last night's Prabal Gurung for Target launch, celebs like Carey Mulligan, Rashida Jones, Elizabeth Olsen and Ne-Yo—the evening's special musical guest—crowded the red carpet at NYC's Pier 57. Among the night's attractions—besides Prabal's floral-printed, flare-skirted designs for the superstore, of course—were gravity-defying carnival rides, cotton candy and performers on stilts. The night's celeb attendees were all dressed in different looks from Prabal Gurung's forthcoming collection, which hits stores and online on February 10. We particularly liked The Hunger Games' Isabelle Fuhrman's cherry-hued cocktail dress—a bold move for the actress, as it turns out. "I never wore red before this day!" she told us. "This is my first time wearing red. But I was feeling daring, so I just went for it!"
But keeping the collection's themes of love and romance in mind, we couldn't resist asking the lovely Analeigh Tipton (of Warm Bodies, Damsels in Distress and Crazy, Stupid, Love fame) to dish on her Valentine's Day plans and more. Hint: for this model-turned-actress, it's all about the sweets.
Lucky: Where will you be this February 14?
Analeigh Tipton: It's really the day after that's my Valentine's Day, because that's when all the chocolate goes on sale! That's when I stock up for the year. I'm especially into Hershey's Hugs—the swirly chocolate kisses.
That spinning ride over there looks pretty intense. Are you planning to give it a whirl?
Of course I am! Except...I'm in a dress tonight. So that's gonna be difficult. Also, as I get older, I find it's easier to get sick on rides like that. I mean, don't get me wrong—I still go on them. It's just unfortunate for the others afterwards.
Have you been a fan of Prabal's work for long?
Yes! He designs clothes for the "girly tomboy," which for me is very accessible.
Having been part of both the acting and modeling worlds, what's the biggest difference between these two jobs?
Well, I like to think I'm decent at one of them—ha! But heels—heels are the biggest difference. As an actress, I dont always have to wear those on set, which is great.
Click through to see what everyone wore on the red carpet last night. Which look is your favorite? And will you be picking up a piece of Prabal when the collab's released this Sunday?

The Software-Defined Data Center
Compute Virtualization
Modern software-defined compute (also known as server virtualization or simply "virtualization") is the first step toward the Software-Defined Data Center. Introduced by VMware more than a decade ago, virtualization has become a standard technology implemented by the vast majority of data centers worldwide.
Conventionally deployed servers operate at less than 15 percent of capacity. Virtualization rewrites the entire equation. CPU and memory are decoupled from physical hardware, creating pools of resources for use wherever needed. Each virtualized application and its operating system are encapsulated in a separate, fully isolated software container called a virtual machine (VM). Many VMs can be run simultaneously on each server, putting the majority of hardware capacity to productive use. The results are transformative:
- Superior performance
- Higher availability
- Significant savings
In the simplest terms, IT achieves a lot more with a lot less, at dramatically lower cost.
vSphere. The Virtualization Standard Worldwide
VMware vSphere® is by far the most widely deployed virtualization platform, in service for more than 480,000 customers worldwide, from the Fortune 500 down to the smallest start-ups. In addition to virtualizing the compute layer, vSphere's advanced capabilities optimize the rest of your infrastructure to operate smoothly as a virtualized environment.
As the foundation for VMware's complete Software-Defined Data Center platform, vSphere enables you to move forward at a pace that's right for your needs and business. You can seamlessly extend virtualization to storage and network services, and add automated, policy-based provisioning and management.

Into the Wild
Miami's dazzlingly built environment makes it easy to forget that the city lies just thirty-five miles from Everglades National Park (nps.gov/ever). The third largest national park in the lower forty-eight states, the Everglades encompasses one and a half million acres, a vast subtropical wilderness of mangrove forests, hardwood hammocks, shallow flats, cypress groves and sawgrass marshes. It harbors more than three hundred species of birds, along with copious aquatic life including alligators and manatees, and more than one thousand species of plants. Most visitors tour the Everglades by car, opting for the eighty-mile round-trip drive from Royal Palm Visitor Center to Flamingo, on Florida Bay.
Miami is also blessed with proximity to the prime fishing grounds of the Gulf Stream. A host of charter services offer half- and full-day sport-fishing excursions, supplying all the bait and tackle—and even hauling in your catch, should you happen to hook a hefty marlin, sailfish, tuna, wahoo, snapper or kingfish. One convenient option is Sea Cross (seacrossfishingmiami.com), a charter service that docks at Bayside Marina, minutes from downtown Miami.

The ultimate guide to Ryan Braun
Baseball June 17th, 2010
We love the Milwaukee Brewers and despite popular belief we love Ryan Braun. No, really, we really do. We've gotten heat in the past because of the way we have portrayed Ryan Braun and for good reason. Whether it's his Lake Geneva restaurant, his Milwaukee restaurant, his t-shirt line, being single, sticking his tongue out, his comments about the pitching last season, LikeMe.Net or anything else, we've gotten a reputation for not liking Ryan Braun. You have to realize that this all just isn't true, I love Ryan Braun. I would sleep with Ryan Braun if I had to. He's my one of my favorite Brewers. It makes me excited that I get to see him play.
Looking at that history I realize that I've probably written about Ryan Braun more than any other Brewer and that I really know a lot about Ryan Braun. I know why he's great, I know why people like him and I know why people don't like him. I might be the world's foremost expert in Ryan Braun and if watching Spiderman has taught me anything it's that girls nipples look great when their t-shirt gets wet. Oh, and something about responsibility. I feel that I must share this knowledge with the world to better educate you in all things Ryan Braun because if I don't, who will?

So, I know that the majority of people hate Ascension, and two of the biggest reasons are the Primaris Psyker and the Vindicare Assassin. I am doing some stuff with the later's brothers, and I am trying to remember what, specifically, were the big complaints with the Vindicare, that might carry over to the others, and what the good fixes were? I know that the one was with them Dodging two digits worth of times EACH round, and being unable to fail, and the fix involved a Field, effect, or some such. Can I please get the rundown on problems and solutions? Thanks.
Psykers, I assume, were just the Unn WP, coupled with the better, but more broken psy system Ascension, and RT/DW mostly use. I care more about the Assassins, but as the Culexus fight Psykers, preferably the big, dangerous psykers, a refresher on this might help, too.

Calling all Nerds!
It doesn't seem like there have been very many threads about nature or science in a while - how about we change that and share something cool about this beautiful and fascinating world? Here's a neat nature/science video!
I'm not a scientist, just a fan , so I can't say I really understand the processes going on, but I think it's really neat how life at the cellular level often seems to look a lot like teeny-tiny versions of things you can see without a microscope. Or sometimes completely alien, but that's another story.
I know there are other nerds and nature lovers on here - have any of you seen anything or heard anything wild in the world of science lately?

So, nothing about actual negotiations going on, just "our stuff is great! and if Directv doesn't pay whatever we demand for it, it's all their fault."
Well, from the tweets I got from DirecTV and what has been reported in the news as of late, there is reason to think that a carriage agreement will be signed, and it is more about "ironing out the details" than anything else.
But as we have seen with Viacom, one sticking point can make a deal go sour.
On the PAC12, by the way, we have a separate topic going:

The Composers
Jacques Offenbach
Jacques Offenbach (20 June 1819, in Cologne – 5 October 1880, in Paris) was a German-born French composer and cellist of the Romantic era and one of the originators of the operetta form. Of German-Jewish descent, he was one of the most influential composers of popular music in Europe in the 19th century, and many of his works remain in the repertory.
Offenbach's numerous operettas, such as Orpheus in the Underworld, and La belle Hélène, were extremely popular in both France and the English-speaking world in the 1850s and 1860s. They combined political and cultural satire with witty grand opera parodies. His popularity in France waned in the 1870s after the fall of the Second Empire, and he fled France, but during the last years of his life, his popularity rebounded, and several of his operettas are still performed. While his name remains most closely associated with the French operetta and the Second Empire, it is Offenbach's one fully operatic masterpiece, Les contes d'Hoffmann (The Tales of Hoffmann), composed at the end of his career, that has become the most familiar of Offenbach's works in major opera houses.
Offenbach's father, born Isaac Eberst in Offenbach am Main around 1780, changed his name to Offenbach when he settled down in Deutz in 1802. He was a man of many talents who worked as a bookbinder, translator, publisher, music teacher and composer and became a cantor some 30 years later. In 1816 the family moved to Cologne, where his son Jacob (later changed to Jacques) was born in 1819.
In 1833 his father took Jacob to Paris and managed to get him admitted as a cello student to the Paris Conservatoire. Financial difficulties forced Jacques, as he was known by then, to break off his studies at the end of 1834. After a few odd jobs he eventually found a position as a cellist in the orchestra of the Opéra Comique. He soon made a name for himself as a cello virtuoso, appearing with famous pianists like the young Anton Rubinstein, Liszt, Mendelssohn, and, very often, with Flotow with whom he performed jointly composed pieces. In 1844, he converted to Catholicism and married Herminie d'Alcain. He moved to Germany with his wife and daughter in 1848 (the couple eventually had four daughters) to escape revolutionary violence in France, but returned after a brief stay.
In 1850, he became conductor of the Théâtre Français, but the musical theatre establishment in Paris did not immediately accept his sometimes pointed songs and music. Therefore, in 1855, he rented for the Expo season a little theatre on the Champs-Élysées and named it the Bouffes Parisiens. In the following winter he moved the Bouffes to a larger and, above all, heatable theatre on rue Monsigny/Passage Choiseul. There he began a successful career devoted largely to composing operettas. In the early years, Offenbach's permit limited his productions to one-act works with only a few speaking or singing characters. Les deux aveugles, Ba-ta-clan (both premiering in 1855), and La bonne d'enfant were three of his popular works from this period. Only in 1858, after these restrictions had been lifted, it became possible for him to produce his first full-length work, Orpheus in the Underworld.
Offenbach wrote almost 100 operettas, some of which were wildly popular in his time, and his most popular works are still performed regularly today. The best of these works combined hilarious political and cultural satire with witty grand opera parodies. His best-known operettas in the English-speaking world are Orpheus in the Underworld (1858), La belle Hélène (1864), La vie parisienne (1866), The Grand Duchess of Gerolstein (1867), and La Périchole (1868). Les Brigands (1869) was very popular in the English-speaking world initially but was later forgotten.
Offenbach worked with the librettists Meilhac and Halévy more often than any other librettist or team and produced some of his most successful works with them. He said of his relationship with the team: Je suis sans doute le Père, chacun des deux autres est à la fois mon Fils et Plein d'Esprit (literally "No doubt I am the Father; each of the two others is at once my Son and Full of Verve"— esprit meaning both Spirit and wit and Plein d'Esprit rhyming with Saint Esprit).

One of Offenbach's best, and most popular, operettas, the satirical La vie parisienne (Parisian life) was first performed at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal on 31 October 1866.
The first of Offenbach's full-length operettas to portray comtemporary Parisian life, La vie parisienne's plot is deliciously complex and relies on all manner of hidden indentities and subterfuge. The decadence of the 2nd Empire is wonderfully captured, as aristocratic Swedish and Brazilian visitors sample the joys of Parisian night-life.
From the popular overture to the wonderful ensembles, this is heady stuff! The party that ends Act III is particularly fun; it starts slowly, the guests vowing to make their pleasure last longer, but soon the champagne flows and Offenbach cranks up the tempo until a wild polka breaks out.
Other highlights include the glove-maker Gabrielle's impersonation of a colonel's widow, Je suis veuve d'un colonel, and the lively Je suis Brésilien.

Overall, I was very pleased with my order. The dress fit perfectly and looks great on. It's very slimming at the waist and comfortable enough for you to breath in. I also liked the flair of the skirt and the mesh back. However, one slight disappointment was the fabric. I thought the fabric felt a little cheap. Overall, I would recommend this dress.

(Attica, OH) Attica Raceway Park and Fremont Speedway have announced they will continue to utilize the right rear spec tire from Hoosier that were put into the rules for all sprint car divisions at the start of the season. Hoosier has recently come out with new compounds, but Attica and Fremont will stay with the Hoosier - 105/8-15 SC12, SC15 and SC25 tires. "Those were the three compounds in our contract and that's what we will stick to," said Fremont Speedway Promoter Rich Farmer. "We have heard nothing from Hoosier about the new tires, so we will stick to our original rules. Besides, it wouldn't be right to put teams in a situation where they may have purchased tires already and then change the rules," said Attica Raceway Park Director of Operations Rex LeJeune.

"It is a tremendous safety feature for the town," said mayor of Merigold, Andrew Westerfield.
The storm shelter will have a capacity of 800-900 people and will be completed by December of this year.
The shelter will be not only for the citizens of Merigold but also anyone that can reach it in time.
"Being close to the school is a great location," said Westerfield.
With the recent Oklahoma tragedies due to tornadoes, it is evident that storm shelters can save lives.
"This is something we have been trying to get for quite a while," said Westerfield.
With Mississippi Severe Weather Alerts in place to warn citizens to seek shelter during severe storms, this storm shelter will provide more advanced cover than homes.
There are plans to begin including sirens throughout the county to warn citizens to take cover sooner.
"The county does an incredible job of alerting citizens (in times of trouble) and hopefully we won't have to utilize this shelter.
"We were fortunate to be able to put this together," said Westerfield.
Roy Collins Construction began the process of building the structure roughly two months ago.
The storm shelter will be a freestanding structure with 8-inch thick concrete tilt up panels.
"We are one of the very few companies that uses the tilt-up panels," said Chris Collins of Roy Collins Construction.
Once poured, these panels will be lifted by a crane and have the ability to withstand over 250 mile an hour winds.
"It's certainly timely, with all that has happened in Oklahoma recently. It's great this is next to an elementary school," said Collins.
While it is hopeful this new storm shelter will not have to be utilized, it is comforting for community members to know it is available.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

The famous evangelist Billy Graham wrote a pamphlet years ago that spoke of absolutes, rigid natural laws that cannot be compromised or broken. He explained that water freezes at 32 degrees and boils at 212 degrees. He used other examples of absolutes as he examined the dangers of compromise.
There are certain absolutes that must be followed in everything we do in this life.
So it is at the Bradley County Sheriff's Office. When honesty and integrity, the very basic tenets of law enforcement, are compromised it must be dealt with immediately. When such behavior isn't, it is like garbage in the house that is not carried out, it begins to rot and the stench permeates the whole house.
Sometimes these problems can be handled discreetly so that innocent people are not unnecessarily disturbed or scarred.
Other times the lapses of integrity or outright criminal activity have an all-out public airing and it stinks to high heaven, so to speak. This very negative event or events must turn into a positive action.
In such an event, there are always people who will exploit it for their own reasons. It is sometimes for their political gain. They try tearing down the other guy's house to build their own.
Other times it is simply to get revenge for some perceived wrong or rebuff they have suffered.
The recent flap about a part-time process server appears more and more that it was used by an ex-employee and, also, a convicted felon to discredit your Sheriff's Office.
It has already been verified that the email sent to the media was done so using a fraudulent email address. So a fake email, in violation of the law, was used to give erroneous information to the news media.
As with any law-enforcement agency, there is almost always a small group of disgruntled people who give out disinformation to hurt the agency.
I believe I know most by name.
Some say this is human nature. I suppose it is human nature at its worst. At the very least it is less than honorable behavior. Still, I am not willing to compromise the integrity of the Sheriff's Office to placate anyone. Threats, bad publicity, gossip and innuendoes don't move me.
The little old lady down at the Holiness Church was fond of saying, "The truth will stand when the world is on fire."
No, we are not a perfect organization, and I am not a perfect human being, but we all should not use our imperfections as an excuse not to seek better ways to attain perfection.
The virtues of honesty and integrity are the building blocks toward doing what is right.
Thomas Carlyle said, "Make yourself an honest man, and then you may be sure there is one less rascal in the world."
Oprah Winfrey said, "Truth allows you to live with integrity. Everything you do and say shows the world who you really are so let it be the truth."
Compromising, a little here, a little there, is like garbage building up in the kitchen. As the head of this particular house, it is my responsibility to make sure others do not let this stinking garbage of compromise beset all of us.
I have said it several times before: Good, honest people make mistakes. We all are capable of that.
That is forgivable and they are redeemable. But, to knowingly break the law or policies and procedures, and, then, cover it up by lying is unacceptable. I am sure that the public would agree with every decision about a particular employee's termination if they had all the facts.
In some cases employees have been allowed to resign, instead of being fired. We felt that was the compassionate thing to do. We have let some go that I considered my friends. I take no pleasure in firing anyone, but I am forced by that individual's behavior.
Too many today think it is clever to beat the system, to cheat or otherwise lie or manipulate others to further their own personal interests. To this person it is old-fashioned to be honest, to work hard and earn your own way.
We must continue to hold the line and toe the mark. As servants of the public we must keep their trust. If a person is not willing to abide by the rules, he or she should not apply. Like the U.S. Marines, we are always looking for a few good men and women.
Just to let you know, you can read any of my articles on the Web at www.bradleysheriff.com to be assured of getting an unedited version.
Thanks for reading.

Cocoon Plant & Roses 7x13 Watercolor |
This is an older painting, based on the usual line up of flowers and bud vases and cacti that lined the window of my kitchen in the house where we raised our kids. We're three years into a different home - one without the white tiles and the west-facing windows. I miss the flood of sunlight, but i'm enjoying other elements about this current nest. I still think I'd like to paint this one larger, and I have the sketches and reference photos to do it, so I pulled this out to ponder what I'd do differently. At the time, I was focused on the light passing through the green vase onto the tiles. The arrangement reminded me of a dance hall scene; the cactus fixed like a soldier in uniform with a day pass, and the roses twirling and flirting like a blushing debutant. With that in mind, if I *do* paint it larger, I'll come up with a more fitting title. What do you think? Larger? And what title if I do that?

What we're talking about here is the next evolution of the 40k Space Combat game.
Space Fleet. Horrible, horrible game. Anyone disagree?
Now BFG has a loyal following, but I was never thrilled with the rules. In a nutshell, they were too abstract for me and deviated too far from the fluff. I dunno, I expected more. See, to have a really satisfying game of BFG where you can ignore the abstractness you need ...ta daaaa!!! A LOT of miniatures. Little things like treating fighters and bombers as expendable ordinance...I won' t go into it. BFG fans, I'm not dissin' you. I've got every rules version, every fan-generated pdf and a bucket of BFG minis.... I write this post hoping for a little bit more in this next incarnation.
I want a Space Combat system...
1. You can ignore. Lot of people just aren't interested. For those players, you need a very abstract yet extremely colorful system not reliant on minis, maps or anything. I'm not one of these people, but I respect the players who just want to "roll a few dice and tell me what happens" so they can get on with RPG'ing.
For those that like Space Combat:
2. More detail than BFG in keeping with the fluff. For instance, do away with abstract firepower ratings and have actual batteries of Plasma Cannons, Lances, Point Defense turrets, Macro Cannons, each with pros/cons and different purposes. Have more types of torpedos, in keeping with the original Rogue Trader. If I have a Pilot character and want to fly a Fighter, then it should be in there. Don't go overboard on the detail, as that would be easy to do, but more detail=more RPG flavor.
3. Easy Bookkeeping. Hey, some bookkeeping has to be involved. Can we have a system where all vital info and a big silohette of the ship is pre-printed on one page? I'm not saying copy SFB, but they did that part right.
4. A consistent rules system that's easy to remember after a couple beers. All the pertinant charts/tables on no more than 2-3 double sided sheets for reference.
5. A battle involving 2-3 Capital ships (and a few smaller ships, fighters, escorts, etc.) should be playable in about an hour, plus setup time.
6. There should be a role for as many types of characters as possible, even if on the same (especially if on the same...) ship. Some sort of RPG element and/or turn by turn decision making that keeps all players interested and that they are somehow affecting the outcome of the battle.
I'm worried about "Starship Construction". Ok, I'm all for "Starship Modification.." but it had better be easy to extrapolate from BFG stats to make traditionally existing ships.
Somebody else noted that one of the keys is to make a system where the Ship is a character in and of itself. I highly agree.
I had a bit more to say, but Fred is yelling "Yabba Dabba Do!", so I gotta go. I'll finish tomorrow. Chime in and let me (and more importantly FFG) know what you think.

I put a copy of each kit in there. That way, if I'm looking for something, I'll look at the kit previews quickly and then know where to go to find the whole kit. It works for me anyway.

Diagnosed with autism when he was only 2, doctors told his parents he would never walk, probably never talk and be in diapers his entire life. But Kilgore had a determination and support system rarely seen by doctors that turned the autistic infant into an inspiration to teachers, students and his entire community.
Since only 56 percent of students with autism finish high school, according to the Autism Society, it was equally surprising that Kilgore not only represented his Blue Springs Elementary School class in the Bradley County Spelling Bee in 2000, but graduated from high school with a regular diploma and was voted the person with the Most School Spirit by the Student Body at Bradley Central High School. He is currently on the honor roll for the Fall semester at Cleveland State and types 80 words a minute.
"The doctor said he would never speak, never be out of diapers, had zero chance of functioning and suggested we institutionalize him," said Ernest Smith, Kilgore's stepfather.
Diana Smith, Kilgore's mother, said in an earlier interview the news was "devastating" and broke her heart. But the Cleveland couple rejected their doctor's good intentions in that summer of 1990, and decided to see what they could do with their precious son on their own.
In truth, no one expected Diana and Ernest to see the kind of academic success their son would later achieve, but they believed in and worked with the youth day after day, week after week, for years. Kilgore not only lived up to their expectations, but exceeded many of them, prompting Tennessee state Rep. Kevin Brooks to call their son a "hometown hero."
In 2000, Kilgore became one of only 35 students in the world to fly to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to be recognized as an international "Yes I Can" award winner for handicapped students.
"It still feels pretty good to know that I got to fly to Vancouver for such a presentation," Kilgore said. "Good teachers, great friends and a supportive family made the difference."
The 7-foot, 366-pound Seneca/Cherokee, also known as "Long Eagle," spoke of his special gratitude for Jenny Elkins, his teacher at Trewhitt Elementary School, who pushed him to read throughout his classes with her up through the seventh grade. He also credited Ernest for working with him daily.
"Both my parents worked in the mental health field, so I've been around mentally challenged people all of my life," Ernest said. "I started into that line of work, but switched to engineering. James was raised in a family environment, in a regular educational environment and has had a lot of help.
"He was in diapers until he was about 5 years old. He did not say his first word until he was approximately 5 years old. But when he did start he didn't slow down. He kept going. He was 10 years old before he could fasten his belt, but he was already proficient on a computer. He was 10 or 11 years old before he finally grasped how to tie his shoes. But by that time he had already been helping an instructor teach a computer class. He is one in a thousand. Some things he grasps and other things [are] difficult for him to comprehend. Complicated things he can grasp and run with, and something simple he still has problems understanding."
According to the latest estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1 in every 88 children in the U.S. has autism and an estimated 1.5 million individuals in the U.S. has autism, which causes developmental disabilities that can result in significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. These figures do not include Asperger's and other spectrum disorders.
The Smiths never saw autism as the end of the world for their son, but the beginning of a world of opportunities for him as he accepted the challenge of his circumstances, and is now accomplishing what many people with half his challenges are achieving.
Not only is the straight A student majoring in journalism and mass communication at Cleveland State, but for the past five years he worked as both reporter and editor of the Cherokee Signal — the official newspaper of Cleveland State.
"I would say one of my crowning achievements so far was becoming the 2009 and 2010 Cherokee Signal award winner and being inducted into the honor society at Cleveland State," Kilgore said.
His father has taken it a step further and supported him in creating his own local newspaper — the Foothills Crier, serving the Southeastern area.
"With James having autism, it would be questionable for him to work for a regular newspaper," Ernest explained. "Therefore, we came up with the idea of a small paper he could write on his own. We started in November 2012, with only four pages and two advertisers. Currently, we have 20 pages and 13 advertisers. We welcome any articles that anyone would like to send, but we do reserve the right to edit or reject depending on the content."
Kilgore said his plan is to transfer to a four-year university to obtain his bachelor's degree in journalism, a profession he has been interested in since he was a child enjoying working on his elementary school's morning television show.
Ernest, who is also part Cherokee, said, "For a number of years I owned and published 'The Eagle News,' which is a Native-American newspaper. When James was 12 years old, he started working with me on that newspaper and he developed a love for writing and reporting. It carried on through high school."
At the age of 25, Kilgore is constantly creating one milestone after another, proving that autism is not necessarily the handicap some people would categorize it as. Meeting Kilgore is living proof that meeting one person with autism is simply that — one person — because each autistic person is wonderfully different and capable of impressive feats.
"It feels pretty good to me to be a journalist," Kilgore said. "It takes a lot of hard work, determination and willingness to build editing skills, but you would be surprised at what can be done — even with autism."
C. Michael Stokes, vice president for Student Services, said "James really inspire people around him to do all they can do, and become all they can become, because of what he's already accomplished. In terms of dependability and effort, there is no one who works harder than James does. He's a Phi Beta Kappa member so that means he has really good grades."
Diana and Ernest praised Cleveland State instructors for working with Kilgore, saying, "They have absolutely bent over backwards to help him. They have one of the finest faculties of any college in the nation."
Diana said, "I guess you could say we were able to get through it with a lot of prayers and good teachers."
Experts say along with certain social and intellectual difficulties, autism can bring special abilities that include strong memory skills, math skills, three-dimensional thinking, musical ability, artistic talents and the ability to focus intensely on an interest.

Riviera Cocktail, who has yet to lose on the Hollywood Park turf course, will step into graded company against nine others in the $150,000 American Handicap on Sunday.
Owned by a partnership that includes breeder Joseph Allen and Gallagher Equine LTD and trained by Neil Drysdale, the 4-year-old Giant's Causeway colt out of the Rubiano mare Starry Dreamer is 3-for-3 on the local grass. Two of the wins have come during the current meet.
He won an optional claimer by three-quarters of a length going one mile on May 15, then scored by a nose in an allowance contest at 1 1/16 miles on June 6.
A winner of four of 13 with earnings of $171,629, Riviera Cocktail will be looking for his first win at the American distance of 1 1/8 miles and his initial victory in a graded stakes.
In his most recent appearance in a graded race, Riviera Cocktail was third behind Loup Breton and High Court Drama in the San Marcos, which, like the American, is a Grade II, on Jan. 24 at Santa Anita.
A win by the Kentucky bred would be the fourth for Drysdale in the American. The most recent for the Hall of Famer was with Labeeb in 1996.
One of the other entrants is Compari, who is also being considered for the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup on July 10.
Trained by Marty Jones for owner-breeders John Harris, John Nicoletti and Don Valpredo, Compari has won five of six on turf. He suffered his first loss on the surface when a troubled seventh in the Shoemaker Mile, a Grade 1, on May 31.
A 4-year-old gelded son of Redattore and the Dixieland Band mare Southern Charm, the California bred has won six of eight and $442,640. He won at nine furlongs on Cushion Track, taking the $250,000 Snow Chief in the spring of 2009.
Sixth in the Shoemaker Mile, Global Hunter will be making his second start of the year for owners Monte Pyle and L-Bo Racing. Trained by A C Avila, the 7-year-old Jade Hunter horse and the Telescopico mare Griffe de Paris has won seven of 29 and earned $521,365.
His biggest win came in the 2009 Eddie Read Handicap at Del Mar, a Grade 1 at the American distance.
Glowing Praise is back in California after finishing third in the Dallas Turf Cup on May 31 at Lone Star Park. Trained by Eoin Harty for owner John Fretwell, the 4-year-old Fantastic Light gelding and the Polish Precedent mare Beading has three wins in 13 starts. His bankroll is $56,098.
In his lone start at Hollywood Park, Glowing Praise was third in the Inglewood Handicap on April 25.
Hyades will cut back a bit after finishing second to Acclamation in the Charles Whittingham Memorial Handicap at 1 ¼ miles on June 5.
A 4-year-old Aldebaran colt out of the Shirley Heights mare Lingerie, Hyades has two wins in 12 tries while earning $113,710. He is owned by Triple B Farms and trained by Ben Cecil, who won the 1998 American with Magellan.
Completing the field are Oil Man, Quindici Man, Red Door Drive, Meteore and Temple City.
A 5-year-old son of Sky Mesa and the Sandpit mare Sheza Nasty Lady, Red Door Drive will be making his graded stakes debut for owner Arnold Zetcher.
He is a nose away from entering the American with a three race win streak and has improved since joining trainer Bob Baffert's barn. In nine starts for Baffert, Red Door Drive has four wins and has been worse than third only once.
Both Oil Man and Meteore own a victory over the Hollywood Park turf course. Trained by John Sadler for Tommy Town Thoroughbreds, who teamed to win this race in 2008 with longshot Whatsthescript, Oil Man, a 4-year-old Pyrus colt and the Batshoof mare So Precious won the 2009 Cinema here. He has three wins in 15 attempts. His earnings stand at $153,214.
Meteore, who is owned and was bred by the Wertheimer brothers, won an optional claimer over this course on June 11, 2009. In his 4-year-old debut on June 6, Meteore finished third, a half-length behind Riviera Cocktail.
The son of Pulpit and the Twining mare Meteor Miracle has won three of 13 and earned $194,276. He is trained by Richard Mandella, who has won the American three times, including twice with The Tin Man (2002, 2006). His first victory in the race came with Mister Wonderful II in 1989.
Here is the lineup, from inside out, for the 71st American Handicap: Riviera Cocktail, Tyler Baze rides, 115 pounds; Compari, Joe Talamo, 119; Hyades, Victor Espinoza, 114; Glowing Praise, David Flores, 115; Global Hunter, Brice Blanc, 118; Quindici Man, Christian Santiago Reyes, 114; Temple City, Alonso Quinonez, 113; Red Door Drive, Martin Pedroza, 114; Meteore, Rafael Bejarano, 115 and Oil Man, Joel Rosario, 115.

NIKE Dri-FIT KNIT: SUPERIOR FIT, SEAMLESS FEEL.
The seamless Nike Dri-FIT Knit offers an exceptionally comfortable fit. Featuring an ultra-soft tri-blend construction the shirt moves with you, while its engineered design enhances overall breathability.
Both the Women's long-sleeve and short-sleeve Dri-FIT Knit shirts have a longer torso, providing below-the-hips coverage. This elongated length helps to prevent the top from riding up during a run and makes it an ideal layering piece.
On the side panels, an open mesh texture improves breathability.
The Men's Dri-FIT Knit short-sleeve shirt is made of engineered Dri-FIT fabric to help athletes maintain optimal body temperature. The shirt's seamless construction reduces irritation caused by chafing so runners focus on their run, not their top.
Reflective elements help athletes remain visible in low-light conditions.

Stop-motion animation.
"Glenn Martin, DDS" follows the adventures of traveling dentist Glenn Martin and his family. After learning that his favorite childhood park is about to be destroyed, Glenn takes his family - wife Jackie, hormone-addled 13-year-old Conor, power suit-wearing 11-year-old Courtney, Courtney's overachieving assistant Wendy, and Canine, the family dog - on a cross-country road trip to protest the demolition. Although the protest is ultimately a bust, Glenn and Jackie realize that the trip has brought their family closer together and they decide to keep on traveling. Along the way, Glenn discovers that hitting the road is more complicated than it sounds, and learns through various run-ins (with mobsters, the Amish and psychotic navigators) that the road often hits back in unexpected and hilarious ways.

Fuji Absolute 1.4 Flat Bar Road Bike - 2013
More standover height, more comfort and more performance are delivered by the 2013 Fuji Absolute 1.4 road bike. The Absolute model continues to be produced because of its wide appeal to any rider looking for the fast-paced efficiency of a road bike, but with upright geometry and comfort of a mountain bike. The 1.4 takes this to a whole new level with great mountain bike components and Fuji road bike technology.The Absolute 1.4 is built-up around a durable, lightweight frame made from Fuji's A2-SL proprietary aluminum tube set. A2 is double butted for extraordinary strength without adding undue weight. The geometry was adjusted to more evenly dissipate road vibration for a smoother, more comfortable ride. A more compact Absolute geometry places you an upright, confident position, which alleviates pressure on your hands and shoulders and improves your overall field of vision.
Shimano Acera, Alivio and Deore are all used to mix the drivetrain to the best blend of performance and efficiency. A Shimano Deore rear derailleur was chosen for its crisp shifts, added durability and longevity. Acera flat bar shifters deliver smooth indexing and a triple chainring Acera crankset will keep you spinning comfortably no matter the grade.
Shimano Acera 2-finger brake levers, coupled to Tektro linear pull brakes, supply the stopping power on Vera Corsa double wall rims laced to sealed cartridge hubs. The double wall thickness adds life to your wheel set. Vera Helios tires with a supple 30 TPI casing feature a good balance of grip, low rolling resistance and added puncture resistance.

The financial service industry and its "rocky" relationship with women.
Take a close look behind the doors of any American home, and chances are you'll find the woman in control of financial matters. Whether it's the mother of two paying the bills online or the single female executive evaluating her 401K, females have indeed felt much of the physical and emotional brunt of our increasingly shaky economy.
And it's a fact, despite the misconceptions of many, that women make the majority of household spending decisions and are now contributing more money to their households than ever before. Studies also show that women's earning power will recover from the recession far more quickly than that of men. But yet, the financial services category seems to continue to struggle to find an effective way to share their message with this oft-misunderstood audience.
"There is a growing and dawning realization that women are not only overlooked, but many times, underestimated by the financial services sector," explains Bridget Brennan, CEO of consulting firm Female Factor and a featured speaker at S2W – The Selling to Women Tour, which took place Thursday, November 10 at the Chicago Cultural Center. "Women truly serve as the engine of the global community."
"Whether she's shopping for a new black pair of pants or for someone to handle her six figure financial portfolio, a woman is going to be out there doing the research and exploring all of her options," adds Jeffery Tobias Halter, president of YWomen and author of Selling To Men, Selling To Women. "While the man in the relationship may keep an eye on the 401K or pension, the woman has her eye on everything, including healthcare, the family budget and the coupons she's going to use while shopping for groceries this week. She definitely is concerned with a much broader spectrum when it comes to financial matters."
With more women in the labor force than ever before and making approximately 80 percent of all consumer purchasing decisions, many experts say financial services companies selling anything from estate planning to banking to credit cards continue to miss the mark.
"The number of single female investors is at an all time high, but I'm just not seeing them targeted as they should," says Mr. Halter, who will also led the Selling Across Gender, The Sales Process and Application workshop at the S2W conference. "Often, when it comes to the point of sale, the salespeople are just not trained to adapt to gender differences as well as they should. Women need a quarterback in their lives. She wants to know who is going to be there to make her life a bit easier."
"Before the first big meltdown, companies such as Merrill Lynch and Oppenheimer Funds were doing a number of female-based studies and adapting their marketing approaches in response to those studies," adds S2W speaker Marti Barletta, founder of Northfield-based The TrendSight Group. "Now it seems like everything is backsliding. The consumer investment industry specifically is paying much less attention to consumers in general."
And while these facts may be disturbing, perhaps even more troubling are the reasons that the financial industry is failing to reach women. "We live in a world where 97 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies are still led by men," says Ms. Brennan, who also authored the book Why She Buys: The New Strategy for Reaching the World's Most Powerful Consumers. "This corporate culture has kept businesses creating creative from a very masculine point of view. Businesses must step back and understand where they might be experiencing a gender gap."
While women may indeed be the 'chief purchasing officers' at both home and at work, it can often look vastly different from behind the desk of many financial companies. "While female executives seem to have no trouble negotiating on their business' behalf, they can have a ton of trouble negotiating on their own behalf," says Ms. Brennan. "Put a couple in front of a financial advisor and chances are that a woman will let her husband take charge. She gives the husband the public role of handling the finances, but rest assured that once the door is closed, women are driving the financial decisions of the home." And one never knows when the need for financial services is going to come up for females, whether in their professional and personal lives, but especially when faced with a divorce.
"Almost always, a divorce is an unplanned financial event for women," says Ms. Brennan. "When it happens, there's a great need for financial advice. I honestly feel that more financial businesses should promote specialists that women can trust to deal with the financial matters that surround divorce. At the end of the day, the service women receive and the trust they feel (from their financial providers) is the most important factor."
