Dick has been helping restore oak savanna habitat at Gateway Nature Park in Harvard since 2011.

2012 - Beth Theiss, Hannah Beardsley Middle School, Crystal Lake Started a project at school with the seventh grade students, participated in Acorn Roundup and sorted acorns as part of the science curriculm, propagated the acorns and in the spring planted the seedlings at Three Oaks Recreation Area for three years. Said program lead to all three middle schools in Crystal Lake to doing the same program. Bill Donato, Woodstock High School, Woodstock For helping high school students do restoration work in the oak woods on Gerry Street. |

2010 - Fleming Road Landowners From left: Jean Hervert Niemann, Ed Bennett, Mary Moltmann and Jan Hervert were in attendance representing the 21 landowners who placed conservation easements on their properties to preserve the oaks along Fleming Road. |
2010 Living with Trees Award Our "First Class" of Oak Keepers were recognized for three years of Oak Keeping. Pictured are Barb Wilson, Myrna Nelson, Carol Howard, Linda Burkart & Greg Rajsky. |
2010 - Ervin Bottlemy For his livelong devotion to the oak woodlands on his property in Alden. Pictured are Christine Brewer, Karen Lindow, Judy Speer, Lorraine Bottlemy Davis, Erv Bottlemy, Lauretta Wolf, Dave Zeiger & Jack Speer. |
2009 - Mary McClelland, Glacier Oaks Nursery Mary has brought her valuable expertise to Project Quercus from day one. Her time and energy, plus a growing amount of nursery space, has been donated for several years already, and the project is still in its early stages. She has raised thousands of oaks from the local acorns that are gathered each fall at Acorn Roundup. Thank you, Mary, for your passion & your generous spirit. |
2009 - Cynthia Hicks We choose to recognize these landowners for allowing us to study their woodlands—some of the most unique in McHenry County. In each case, what the Oak Keepers found changed the way we view our local oak woods. The first examples of swamp white oak trees in McHenry county were discovered on Cynthia Hicks land. Prior to this, the species was thought not to occur here. |
2009 - Bonnie McConnell During a visit to Bonnie McConnell's property that adjoins Cynthia's, a second grove of swamp white oaks was found. In both cases, there are trees that are large enough to be 200 or more years of age. |
2009 - Michael Klingenberg The large number and diversity of truly ancient oaks found on Mike's property led experts from MCCD to conduct a detailed survey of the property. In the process, they discovered a "Witness Tree" as well as several county record-breaking white, bur, red and scarlet oaks, including a grove of 300+ year old red oaks. Thank you to these landowners for opening your properties to the Oak Keepers so that they could document the mysteries contained therein. You have all made important contributions to our understanding of the county's oak woodlands! |
2008 - Dale Shriver Recognized for his tireless management of nearly 80 acres of remnant oak woods that he owns. |
2008 - Robert Roe For his efforts to restore the fen and oak woods at Dutch Creek--all on land that is protected by a conservation easement in his subdivision, Dutch Creek Estates. |
2007 - Nancy Schietzelt In 2007, 102 trees were planted at four planting events. At the beginning of the year, hundreds of letters were sent to youth groups seeking volunteers and potential reforestation site sponsors. TLC volunteer Nancy Schietzelt coordinated the whole program. She wrote the letters, put the mailing together, and compiled the responses. Nancy then arranged for a group to evaluate several potential planting sites, selecting two for the spring and two for the fall. She organized the youth groups who did the plantings, obtained the tools needed, and worked with the nursery to deliver the seedlings. One person making a huge difference for McHenry County! |
2007 - McHenry County Conservation District One of the challenges in communicating the loss of oak resources with the public and media is accurate information that documents the changes that have taken place over time. MCCD completed a comprehensive study of the County's oak woodlands since the first records were made in the 1830's. Their study shows conclusively that oaks, once covering more than a third of the landscape, today are found on just under 5% of the land in the County. Blocks of oak woods large enough to provide necessary habitat for a wide diversity of uncommon birds and animals--100 acres or larger--have dwindled to just 8 in the entire county. Three of those are located at MCCD sites, but the other 5 are at risk of further fragmentation through development or neglect. |
2007 - Village of Lakewood Greater municipal responsibility for preservation of our oak woods during the development process is one of the goals of Project Quercus. Not only does the Village of Lakewood have an excellent tree preservation ordinance that requires the planting of replacement nut-producing native trees like oaks & hickories, but it also sits on the Project Quercus steering committee and was one of the pilot sites for the oak reforestation program. However, the action that drew the attention of the awards committee was the actual resolution that the Village Board passed to indicate its support for the reforestation program, and its commitment to maintain the trees that were planted on Village property for a period of at least 99 years. |
2006 - Jeanine & Alan Dammann Recognized for the marvelous restoration they have done on their oak woodland in Bull Valley, and for their decision to dedicate the land as an Illinois Nature Preserve. The dedication will help ensure that the woodland (approx. 10 acres) will be preserved for future generations to enjoy. The Dammanns have spent literally hundreds of hours removing buckthorn, honeysuckle, garlic mustard and other invasives. In the process, they have uncovered seeps and wildflowers--and they have created a natural area where oaks and hickories are thriving. |
2006 - David Hall A Trout Valley Village Trustee, David single-handedly took on Commonwealth Edison to get the company to utilize appropriate pruning practices when cutting trees in the utility right-of-way. A fungus known as "oak wilt" was being spread to healthy, mature oak trees in the community due to the utility's tree-cutting practices which ignored standards set by the National Arborists Association. At David's urging, Trout Valley adopted an ordinance requiring utilities to follow NAA guidelines by disinfecting cutting tools and not trimming trees during growing months. David continues to urge surrounding communities to adopt similar requirements for tree trimming by utilities. His efforts to reduce the spread of disease among our remaining trees makes a big difference. |
2005 - Village of Algonquin For their "groundbreaking" tree preservation ordinance established to "preserve the aesthetics of our beautiful community," holding developers accountable for preserving and replacing trees that are destroyed, and their recent purchase of 35 acres of land that includes a stand of mature oaks and a beautiful view. |
2005 - Susan & Gilbert Tauck For their decision to donate 30 acres of land to the Marengo Park District that offers residents a place to relax and enjoy nature, and placing a conservation easement on 61 acres of land north of Marengo--a rick oak woodland that is being lovingly restored. |
2005 - Honorable Mention For working together to purchase and protect a spot in Alden Township covered with oak woods that is just gorgeous, and will now be forever free from development. |
Honorable Mention - Ed & Dian Robbins For working with the State Forestry Program to reforest about 6-1/2 acres of their property along Nippersink Creek. Their project is a gift for the future. |
Honorable Mention - Village of Cary For preserving and restoring the Thomas Vieweg Nature Area, providing information on tree care to residents, and their program to replace street trees as they become diseased or die. |

93 Points 2012 Emilio Rojo Ribeiro International Wine Cellar, #170, Sept/Oct 2013 - Josh Raynolds ($53) (made from a blend of treixadura, loureiro, albarino and torrontes): Pale gold. Sexy, mineral-tinged scents of orchard fruits, iodine, anise and white flowers. Smells like a Raveneau Chablis, and a good one at that. Sappy, smoky and incisive, offering vibrant pear and lemon rind flavors underscored by intense mineral and floral qualities. The iodine and smoke notes resonate on a finish that lingers with superb clarity and persistence.

Wycliffe (WYC) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 After these things there was a feast day of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. | 1 Some time later, Jesus went up to Jerusalem for a feast of the Jews. |
2 And in Jerusalem is a washing place, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, and hath five porches. [Forsooth at Jerusalem is a standing water of beasts, that in Hebrew is called Bethesda, having five little gates, or entries.] | 2 Now there is in Jerusalem near the Sheep Gate a pool, which in Aramaic is called Bethesda and which is surrounded by five covered colonnades. |
3 In these lay a great multitude of sick men, blind, crooked, and dry, abiding the moving of the water. | 3 Here a great number of disabled people used to lie--the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. |
4 For the angel of the Lord came down certain times into the [standing] water, and the water was moved; and he that first came down into the cistern, after the moving of the water, was made whole of whatever sickness he was held [was made whole of whatever sickness he was holden with]. | 4 One who was there had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. |
5 And a man was there [Forsooth some man was there], having eight and thirty years in his sickness. | 5 When Jesus saw him lying there and learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, he asked him, "Do you want to get well?" |
6 And when Jesus had seen him lying, and had known, that he had much time [and had known, for now he had much time], he saith to him, Wilt thou be made whole? | 6 "Sir," the invalid replied, "I have no one to help me into the pool when the water is stirred. While I am trying to get in, someone else goes down ahead of me." |
7 The sick man answered to him, Lord, I have no man, that when the water is moved [that when the water is troubled], to put me into the cistern; for while I come, another goeth down before me. | 7 Then Jesus said to him, "Get up! Pick up your mat and walk." |
8 Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and go. [Jesus saith to him, Rise up, take thy bed, and wander.] | 8 At once the man was cured; he picked up his mat and walked. The day on which this took place was a Sabbath, |
9 And at once the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and went forth [And anon the man is made whole, and took up his bed, and wandered]. And it was sabbath in that day. | 9 and so the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath; the law forbids you to carry your mat." |
10 Therefore the Jews said to him that was made whole, It is sabbath, it is not leaveful to thee, to take away thy bed. | 10 But he replied, "The man who made me well said to me, 'Pick up your mat and walk.' " |
11 He answered to them, He that made me whole, said to me, Take thy bed, and go [Take thy bed, and wander]. | 11 So they asked him, "Who is this fellow who told you to pick it up and walk?" |
12 Therefore they asked him, What man is that, that said to thee, Take up thy bed, and go? [Therefore they asked him, Who is that man, that said to thee, Take thy bed and wander?] | 12 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. |
13 But he that was made whole, wist not who it was. And Jesus bowed away from the people, that was set in the place [Forsooth Jesus bowed him from the company ordained, or set, in the place]. | 13 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, "See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." |
14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, Lo! thou art made whole; now do not thou do sin [now do not thou sin], lest any worse thing befall to thee. | 14 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well. |
15 That man went, and told to the Jews, that it was Jesus that made him whole. | 15 So, because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jews persecuted him. |
16 Therefore the Jews pursued Jesus, for he did this thing in the sabbath. | 16 Jesus said to them, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." |
17 And Jesus answered to them, My Father worketh till now, and I work. | 17 For this reason the Jews tried all the harder to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. |
18 Therefore the Jews sought more to slay him, for not only he brake the sabbath, but [and] he said that God was his Father, and made him(self) even to God [making him even to God]. | 18 Jesus gave them this answer: "I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. |
19 Therefore Jesus answered, and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son may not of himself do any thing, but that thing that he seeth the Father doing; for whatever things he doeth, the Son doeth in like manner those things [whatever things soothly he doeth, these things and the Son also doeth]. | 19 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, to your amazement he will show him even greater things than these. |
20 For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth to him all things that he doeth; and he shall show to him greater works than these, that ye wonder. | 20 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. |
21 For as the Father raiseth dead men, and quickeneth, [and] so the Son quickeneth whom he will. | 21 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, |
22 For neither the Father judgeth any man, but hath given every doom to the Son [but hath given all the doom to the Son], | 22 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. |
23 that all men honour the Son, as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son, honoureth not the Father that sent him. | 23 "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life. |
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, that he that heareth my word, and believeth in him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and he cometh not into doom, but passeth from death into life [hath everlasting life, and cometh not into doom, but passed from death into life]. | 24 I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. |
25 Truly, truly, I say to you, for the hour cometh, and now it is, when dead men shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear, shall live. | 25 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. |
26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so he gave to the Son, to have life in himself; | 26 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man. |
27 and he gave to him power to make doom, for he is man's Son. | 27 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice |
28 Do not ye wonder in this, for the hour cometh, in which all men that be in burials, shall hear the voice of God's Son. | 28 and come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. |
29 And they that have done good things, shall go into again-rising of life; but they that have done evil things, into again-rising of doom. [And they that have done good things, shall come forth into rising again of life; forsooth they that have done evil things, into rising again of doom.] | 29 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me. |
30 I may nothing do of myself, but as I hear, I deem [I may not of myself do any thing, but as I hear, I judge], and my doom is just, for I seek not my will, but the will of the Father that sent me. | 30 "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid. |
31 If I bear witnessing of myself, my witnessing is not true; | 31 There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is valid. |
32 another is that beareth witnessing of me, and I know that his witnessing is true, that he beareth of me. | 32 "You have sent to John and he has testified to the truth. |
33 Ye sent to John, and he bare witnessing to [the] truth. | 33 Not that I accept human testimony; but I mention it that you may be saved. |
34 But I take not witnessing of man; but I say these things, that ye be safe. | 34 John was a lamp that burned and gave light, and you chose for a time to enjoy his light. |
35 He was a lantern burning and shining [He was a lantern burning and shining, or giving light]; but ye would glad, or joy, at an hour in his light. | 35 "I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me. |
36 But I have more witnessing than John, for the works that my Father gave to me to perform them [forsooth the works that my Father gave me that I perform them], those works that I do bear witnessing of me, that the Father sent me. | 36 And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, |
37 And the Father that sent me, he bare witnessing of me. Neither ye heard ever his voice, neither ye saw his likeness [neither saw his likeness, or form]. | 37 nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. |
38 And ye have not his word dwelling in you; for ye believe not to him, whom he sent. | 38 You diligently study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life. These are the Scriptures that testify about me, |
39 Seek ye the scriptures, in which ye guess [in which ye ween] to have everlasting life; and those it be, that bear witnessing of me. | 39 yet you refuse to come to me to have life. |
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye have life. | 40 "I do not accept praise from men, |
41 I take not clearness of men; | 41 but I know you. I know that you do not have the love of God in your hearts. |
42 but I have known you, that ye have not the love of God in you. | 42 I have come in my Father's name, and you do not accept me; but if someone else comes in his own name, you will accept him. |
43 I came in the name of my Father, and ye took not me. If another [shall] come in his own name, ye shall receive him. | 43 How can you believe if you accept praise from one another, yet make no effort to obtain the praise that comes from the only God ? |
44 How be ye able to believe [How may ye believe], that receive glory each of (the) other, and ye seek not the glory that is of God alone? | 44 "But do not think I will accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom your hopes are set. |
45 Do not ye guess, that I am to accuse you with the Father; it is Moses that accuseth you, in whom ye hope. | 45 If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me. |
46 For if ye believed to Moses, peradventure ye should believe also to me; for he wrote of me. | 46 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?" |
47 But if ye believe not to his letters, how shall ye believe to my words? | 47 |

Dear Editor,
Recently published columns considered the value of paper recycling and its impact on land use and the demand for trees (Wilson, May 28). Recycling paper does, indeed, suppress demand, and subsequently puts downward pressure on the price of wood fiber. However, a significant elasticity exists in the supply because of the extraction of timber and timber products from our national forests.
Growing up near Long Island, New York in my teens much of my fishing was done on the many beaches brunting on the Atlantic Ocean. Most of our catch would be kingfish (southern whiting), weakfish (southern trout), striped bass and that nasty, ferocious bluefish. Intermixed were skates and my unforgettable sting ray. An occasional catch was the comical blowfish (southern puffer).
The Cedar Key green movement continues to build momentum with Faraway Inn becoming the second business to receive the Green Lodging Program designation from the Florida Department of Environment Protection.
"It's the right thing to do," said Doreen Bauer, who owns and operates Faraway Inn with her husband Oliver, about the decision to go green. "We've got our flag and we're going to be putting it up this weekend," she said.

I have a 10 year old Liftmaster chain-driven 1/3 hp garage door opener. With help from this forum, I just successfully change both the worm and drive gear and after some trial and error, the garage door now opens and closes fine with the wall switch. However, I am now unable to program the several remotes I own which all worked fine prior to my repair. I don't think this opener has a "lock" function which I had read may be a possible cause. The opener has an amber LED that when pressed, stays solid for about 20 seconds, but then simply turns off. I actually don't remember if this LED had always been amber in the past. The LED has no reaction to the pressing of the remote buttons. Could I have damaged the main board itself in any way? Thanks in advance for your comments.

Follow-Up Postings:
I do not know what you could have done to damage it. If you touched part of the circuit board while replacing the gear, you would have felt it if it was plugged in. Since you door is operating fine, I would assume your circuit board is plugged in correctly, but just for safe measures double check it. Push the learn button then hit one of your remotes and see if it takes it. If not I would have to say you have extremely bad luck and your reciever on the ciruit board has gone out. Does your opener do anything when you hit the remotes? |

Drama Mamas: How to help an abused guildie {WoW}
Oct 31st 2011 10:16AM I'm a police officer, but the advice I'm offering is personal- based on my professional experience- rather than just professional. But without knowing all the nuiances in this case, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say there is no amicable break-up on the horizon of this relationship. She's going to have to sever all ties with her husband if she wants to be free of him. I'm pretty sure any court that will grant her a protection order will say the same thing- *especially* if there are no children involved for custody disputes.
That means between her and her husband, someone is going to *have* to leave the guild. That's just how it is. Because if she gets an order of protection and a court tells him to have "no contact" with her, then that includes in-game. Out of game Robin gives solid advice: call the domestic abuse hotline (or call your local courthouse) and they can give you local resources that will help get her free and clear of her husband.
Gold Capped: Making ridiculous sums of money on the auction house {WoW}
Feb 14th 2010 4:38PM Bite me, Fan Boy.
Gold Capped: Making ridiculous sums of money on the auction house {WoW}
Feb 14th 2010 3:51PM I see the title of the article and I get all settled in, ready to read about alternative methods of making gold. And I only find it's an article that tells me about you (honestly don't care) and what your "about" to do.
What a waste. Here's hoping the next article will have substance. You've already failed to live up to your promise in the article intro.
Raimi tackling another movie before Warcraft {WoW}
Feb 3rd 2010 3:10PM I agree. I don't think a "live action" movie would do so hot.
I think a CGI version would fair better- at a minimum the same quality as the game cinematics. At best, something along the lines of Beowulf (or better, as I'm sure the technology by then will be).
Drama Mamas: We hate hate {WoW}
Jan 22nd 2010 4:55PM When it comes to PUGs, I live by these words: "It's better to be silent and thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
While I think reporting people every time you're offended is a little extreme, I'm not against it. If you have a thin skin, you need to stay away from the internet in general. However, if you ask someone to kindly STFU because something offends you, then they keep at it just to annoy you, then I think it's report worthy.
The beauty about PUGs is you CAN drop group and move on. You CAN use the ignore feature. So just do that, and get on with your life. It only matters if you care.
And, Robin, thanks for introducing me to the word "Monkeysphere"- I loved that article.
Officers' Quarters: Ultimatum {WoW}
Jan 18th 2010 2:54PM One man does not a loot council make. If it's your old buddy, then it's nepotism. There's a reason you feel guilty, it's called a conscious. You know what you did was wrong.
The whole idea behind a "council" is to prevent the very thing you want: your friend to give you preferential treatment. A council would be there to give balance.
However I agree with most everyone here that even if you had a proper loot council, the cold hard numbers are always fair. The dice didn't roll your way and so you threaten to pick up your ball and go home.
Unlike so many d-bags out there in WoW-land, however, it sounds like you learned a costly lesson. Nothing to do now but eat your humble pie and move on.

Jan 13th 2010 11:49AM While it's certainly within Blizzard's right to obtain the victim's information (plaintiffs are in civil court, YMMV) and ban their account accordingly, it seems like it's an aweful lot of trouble for them to go through to lose $15 a month.
Rather than looking at it as the bad guy winning, look at it like badder guy losing. Two wrongs, in this case, don't make a right. I think if the guy wanted to really punish account-buyers, he'd report them to Blizzard rather than trying to get away with a few measly dollars.
Man imprisoned on fraud and theft charges over account selling scam {WoW}
Jan 13th 2010 11:22AM Another child that got left behind in basic civics class.
Rogue, there are two types of law: criminal and civil. Criminal law applies to crimes against the state and other people. Civil law, basically, deals with violations of contracts or agreements.
If I offer to sell you a WoW account and you agree, and then I take your money and give you nothing, then in many states that can be a criminal and civil matter. Criminal because I took your money under false pretenses (fraud) and civil because I violated a contract.
Violated ToS falls just under civil court, and it's usually up to the damaged party to file the case.
TLDR: Blizzard law does not equal criminal law.
Man imprisoned on fraud and theft charges over account selling scam {WoW}
Jan 13th 2010 11:17AM It never ceases to amaze me. Things that happen all the time in the real world bleed over into wow and there are clueless masses who get up in arms about "civil rights".
Frizzle, you say "privacy?" I say "Freedom of the press?". If you read the original article, it says the man is facing fraud charges. He is. It's fact. It's public record. Do you scream "privacy" when an alleged child molester's mugshot is put up on the 11 o'clock news?

Warm sunny days are still two or six weeks away for those of us in the northern regions (depending on your groundhog of choice) — and yet taking your motorcycle out for a few "pre-season" blasts can be a joyous, refreshing experience. At 55 mph a simple flip of your visor is like downing a triple-shot of your favorite espresso; at eighty-five it's even better. Hell, a simple whiff of spring air mixed with just a touch of exhaust is enough to give you the stamina of Sting — provided you've prepared. Otherwise, prepare for much shivering and an early decision to head back to the heated garage. The solution is having the right gear to stay warm and protected.

Was thinking about buying Kitchenaid fridge and dishwasher but saw the stainless steel panel on it and wasn't too impressed. I looked at LG and their panels look a bit better and more rich, but I never associated LG with kitchen appliances :) The model I'm thinking of is LFC21776ST and one of their dishwashers in same line. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I have an LG bottom drawer freezer/fridge in my utility room that is an improvement over either the main kitchen fridge or utility fridge we had before. We've had it for at least three years and used it heavily with no issues. I recommend them (they make some of the Kenmore refrigerators for Sears), but I can't help you with the DW. |
When Our trusty old KA (Hobart days) died after 25 years of service, I ran out and replaced it "temporarily" with a scratch and dent LG I found at a Sears outlet. Well, that was five or six years ago! Surprisingly, it has worked fine and is still going strong, so when we recently re did the kitchen we decided to keep the LG until it dies. |
M4rtin, did you end up getting the LG LFC21776ST refrigerator? Do you like it? Any pictures inside your kitchen? Do you miss the water not being inside the door? Did you hook up the ice maker despite no filter. I am considering this refrigerator as mine just died and the one I want is too tall for my area unless I remove the cabinet above. |

Indies For Everyone: How Small Movies Got Big in a Bloated Summer
Culture Warrior By Landon Palmer on August 27, 2013 | Comments (3)During the summer of 1998, one of the two multiplexes in my modestly sized hometown devoted one of its sixteen screens to limited release films throughout the entire season. They showed a range of small, non-mainstream narrative works from that surprisingly indie-rich summer, including Darren Aronofsky's Pi, Vincent Gallo's Buffalo '66, Wayne Wang's Chinese Box, James Toback's Two Girls and a Guy, Don Roos's The Opposite of Sex, Whit Stilman's The Last Days of Disco, Neil LaBute's Your Friends and Neighbors, and Mr. Jealousy, a film that almost nobody remembers Noah Baumbach made. Despite their nearby availability, I saw approximately zero of these films. I was thirteen years old, and my parents maintained their strict no-R policy. But it was enough for me that the names of these films showed up in the local paper, and that I saw their posters displayed through smudged plexiglass outside the box office as I bought my ticket to see Jane Austen's Mafia! for the third time (I'm not kidding). I told myself I was perfectly content with the likes of Godzilla, Small Soldiers, and that other Avengers, but I patiently looked forward to the day when I was brave enough to sneak into (and, a few years later, pay to see) these movies so that I could figure out what this trailer was all about. I wasn't yet experiencing blockbuster fatigue, just bottled excitement that there were new and weird and envelope-pushing movies that existed out there. But apparently, my multiplex's experiment was a […]
What Life Might Be Like When Texting is Allowed in Movie Theaters
Features By FSR Staff on May 1, 2012 | Comments (2)Earlier this week, Deadline Wherever reported that during a panel at CinemaCon, exhibitors discussed the option of allowing patrons to text during films. It was pitched as an attempt to attract younger audiences to the theaters, even though it doesn't actually address the reason (price of films, quality of the home video experience and rampant online piracy) why teens and college students don't go to the movies as much as they did in the 70s and 80s. At Film School Rejects, we support a staunch no-texting policy (and no tweeting, Facebooking, web surfing, Wikipediaing, playing of Angry Birds or Fruit Ninja) at all theaters. However, instead of pointing out the fallacies of this idiotic suggestion, we're taking a look into the future. Here is a possible timeline of what might happen were texting allowed in movie theaters. Gird your loins and enjoy this cautionary tale from Cole Abaius and Kevin Carr.

Mel Gibson's 'Get the Gringo' Inks Unique VOD Distribution Deal
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 31, 2012 | Comments (3)Giving movies limited theatrical runs alongside a day-and-date Video On Demand release is becoming more and more popular in our current landscape of digital media. We've never seen a big movie that has high hopes of pulling in huge box office dollars take the risk, but it seems like a strategy that's been working out well for smaller budget arthouse and genre films. The latest movie to make such a deal is probably the one with the most star power to ever take the VOD plunge. Deadline Peekskill is reporting that Mel Gibson's upcoming Get the Gringo (formerly known as How I Spent My Summer Vacation), a Mexico-set action film that he both stars in and financed through his Icon Productions, has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment and DirecTV for its release and promotion. This deal is unique in that the movie will be available exclusively on DirecTV for a period, with wider VOD options coming later in the year. The film is set to hit DirecTV customers on May 1, the same day that it will be screening in at least 10 markets alongside a Gibson Q&A taking place in an Austin theater.
Warner Bros. Strikes a Blow Against Netflix
Movie News By Nathan Adams on January 10, 2012 | Comments (11)It's been my opinion for a while now that all-you-can-eat subscription services like Netflix are going to be a temporary thing with a limited window of success. Back when movie streaming was a minor thing aimed at a niche, tech savvy audience, it probably made sense for studios to sign deals with Netflix giving them access to their film libraries. Even five years ago high speed Internet wasn't so ubiquitous, and if you wanted to stream something over the Internet, that pretty much meant you were streaming it to your computer monitor. But in today's world of omnipresent wifi and apps that allow everyone to stream movies to smart TVs, video game consoles, app-enabled Blu-ray players, smart phones, and tablet computers, the entire game has changed. Now people can stream movies wherever they are, whenever they want. And they do… a lot. I think we've all seen that statistic floating around that 1/3 of all Internet traffic in the evenings comes from people streaming movies through Netflix. While I'm not in any position to prove that such a statistic is true, let's just assume that it's mostly true; that accounts for a huge amount of movie watching that ten years ago was being done through the more profitable to studios vehicle of DVD purchases and rentals.
Slumping Film Industry Looks to Home Video For Economic Salvation in 2012
Movie News By Nathan Adams on December 28, 2011 | Comments (2)Coming off a year where box office sales showed some of the most disappointing weekends in quite a few years, and where the DVD buying bubble has now clearly burst, you could say that it's starting to look like the film industry is in some financial trouble. They've tried to find new revenue in the form of 3D films, but as the months have worn on ticket sales to 3D showings have been bringing in less and less extra cash, and sales of 3D enabled home equipment pretty much never got out of the gate with any momentum. Factor in the rise of cheap rentals through Redbox kiosks and all-you-can-eat streaming services like Netflix, and the film industry as a whole is faced with the daunting task of how to keep their content seen as being a commodity. All hope doesn't seem to be lost for makers of motion pictures, however, THR talked to a number a studio heads about what's been working for them over the last year and where they expect to see growth in 2012, and there seems to be some hope. Over and over again the two areas where movies seem to be making more money than they did in year's past is through video on demand services and sales of Blu-ray discs. Dennis Maguire, the president of worldwide home media distribution for Paramount said, "2011 showed that home entertainment continues to excite and enthrall consumers. Blu-ray and EST continued to surge, and new delivery systems […]
Take a minute to look down at your remote control (which you carry with you at all times). What's missing? Nothing. However, Netflix disagrees. The company is partnering with several manufacturers to put Netflix buttons right on your remote control. This takes the three-button-pressing process down to a one-button-pressing process, which is great, but it seems like a case of jumping the gun. Granted, Netflix dominates the realm of video and streaming rentals right now, but it's not the only player in the game and it has a lot of work to do to stay relevant. Instead of branding your clicker, they could be getting a better and more diverse library added to their streaming option – an option that lacks a lot of classic movies, higher-rated television shows, and the popular films of the past few years.

Sea change
Seawinds are familiar sights around the Australian coastline and, increasingly, overseas. The 1000 is by far Australia's most successful catamaran model and a significant export business winner. Enter the 1000XL.
You need to view the new XL beside a conventional 1000 to pick the difference. The principal changes are at the aft end of the hulls, where an 850mm extension has been built into each hull moulding. The idea sprang from handy aftermarket work by some North American Seawind owners who were looking for more speed when racing. Seawind in Australia lost little time in altering its mould shapes to incorporate longer hulls as an XL model.
According to Seawind's marketing and sales manager, Brent Vaughan, a cat racing veteran, the additional waterline length adds a potential knot to boat speed. The portside hull extension also houses a folding swim ladder.
The Seawind 1000 story has been one of continuous development since this multi-award winning boat was launched in 1994. Changes introduced when the XL version was released include forward opening coach house windows, a self-tacking jib, 2:1 main halyard purchase, single-line mainsail reefing and a boom cradle on the cabin roof.
HULL AND HARDWAREThe Seawind 1000XL is constructed from vinylester resin/foam laminate, with moulded non-slip deck surfaces. Beneath the gelcoat is a vinylester tie layer that is osmosis resistant; then come the outer and inner laminates, made from chopped strand and woven polyester, sandwiching polyurethane foam. The laminate specifications are approved by the NSW Maritime Authority to meet Australian Survey Standards and many Seawind 1000s are working in survey on charter in Australia and overseas.
The hulls are connected by five through-bolted aluminium beams, including one located under the mast step, and by an FRP deck and hardtop structure. The deck structure is stiffened by moulded seats and companionways.
The rigid mast assembly is built by Tempo Spars and consists of an aluminium section with double, swept-back and forward-projecting tri-star spreaders, stiffened by upper and lower diamond stays of 8mm 1x19 wire. The mast foot sits on a hinge pin, allowing forward lowering.
Masthead shrouds and a 7/8ths forestay of 10mm 1x19 wire hold the stick upright. The shrouds mount to external chainplates on the hulls and the forestay attaches to a forward beam fitting.
The boom mounts an outhaul, two one-line-system reefing lines and a large sail bag with lazy jacks. The fully-battened mainsail zips into the bag and is hoisted by a double-purchase headboard block. Batten tension can be adjusted at the luff.
The halyards are Spectra rope, led through mast-base turning blocks to Spinlock jammers. All sail control lines lead to the cockpit.
The new headsail design is self-tacking, with 2:1 sheet purchase, via a clew block. A jib sheet car runs on a deck track that has manually adjustable stops, for upwind and downwind sheet angle adjustment.
The 1000XL's mainsheet system is end-boom design, with 8:1 purchase blocks and a car that travels almost the full width of the aft structural beam. The sheet is well clear of the cockpit floor area, but car travel can conflict with targa-seat passengers' legs. When using the optional gas BBQ the mainsheet car is slid to either extremity of the traveller track.
There are two Harken ST40 winches - plenty for halyard/sheet duties, considering the main is a block system, the jib is self-tacking and there is an ample supply of rope clutches. With the halyards set, the winches are free for flying headsail or spinnaker sheeting.
There is an optional 'apex' triangular bowsprit that can mount a furling screacher, lightweight headsail. However, the sail isn't UV resistant like the furling jib, so it needs to be stowed below after use. The complete kit is a seven grand ask. The alternative downwind sail is an asymmetric spinnaker, tacked between blocks on both bows - a $3750 option, including a snuffer that makes for easy handling.
The integrated cockpit/saloon design creates a single space that's normally available only in much larger boats. Front windows that open with gas strut assistance solve the ventilation problem neatly.
The air space between the aft edge of hardtop and the targa frame can be roofed with zip-off canvas. If the weather turns nasty, the saloon can be closed in by canvas and clears. The targa frame mounts two 120W solar panels and can incorporate davits for a tender.
The solar panels recharge a bank of three 120amp/h deep cycle batteries.
The saloon has seating space for eight - 10 if the boat has the optional soft-top icebox seat - and the dinette converts to a king-size bed. Below deck is sleeping for eight people - four in each hull, in owner's and charter layouts.
OUT ON THE WATER Nth Degree was brand new, delivered just in time to be the Coleman family's Xmas present. We joined them at Cronulla Wharf on Sydney's Port Hacking and spent a pleasant day sailing and swinging at anchor on the Seawind 1000XL.
As the Seawind picked us up from the wharf we noted the ease of manoeuvring, thanks to a Yamaha 9.9hp High Thrust outboard in each hull, on mounts separated by more than five metres. With throttles opened, one motor in forward and one in reverse the 1000XL spun easily in its own length.
As we motored through the channel, we noted how quiet the four-strokes were and how the boat could be steered accurately with only one motor running.
Once out of the channel we hoisted sail; an easy operation for a crew of two and simple enough for one if the optional autopilot is employed. The blade jib unfurled quickly and the main went up with little halyard effort, once the bag was unzipped.
The outboards sat under lift-up hatches, on spring-loaded raise/lower mounts. They lifted with little effort out of the water and into shrouded fairings.
In the light five to eight-knot morning breeze the Seawind made slow progress, so we found a shallow anchorage and checked out the boat's features while we waited for the sea breeze to kick in.
Stowing the sails was as easy as hoisting them, with no need to flake the main into its bag; the lazy jacks and the high-sided bag did the trick. The motors dropped into place, but we checked their security by lifting the hatches and pushing down on the top of each motor, just to be sure.
We anchored in two metres of water, paying out 10m of chain and clipping on the optional bridle. This bridle extended a few metres along the chain, below water level and stabilised the boat noticeably, while also reducing at-anchor noise if sleeping aboard.
The kids had a play, using the two stern stairways and the for'ard ladder. This ingenious idea makes it easy to climb on and off the for'ard deck and can be used for shore access if the boat is nosed up to a sandy beach. While the kids splashed around, we explored below decks.
INSIDE THE CATNth Degree is an owner's layout boat, with a large aft bathroom and big bed in the port hull. Another for'ard bed can be optioned as an office module for liveaboard clients. The head has a holding tank that can be pumped out, but the outlet is above the waterline, so ocean travellers can drain it overboard.
The starboard hull had double berths at both ends, separated by a huge galley with full-height cupboards, plenty of bench space and a two-burner gas cooker and two-bowl sink. The cupboards and trim were made from American oak, the common area floors were finished in striped teak/holly and the fore and aft cabins were carpeted. Broad companionways led from both hulls to the bridge deck.
This boat had the optional zip-on full bimini cover, putting the cockpit in full shade. Both helm stations had compasses and seats, and the engine controls were at the starboard station.
A HOOT OFFSHOREFrom our sheltered anchorage we could see white caps in the bay, so we went out for a play.
We've been out in choppy water on cats that didn't like a confused sea, but the Seawind 1000XL had a pleasant motion in short chop, even when we deliberately headed it into the waves or ran square on.
Upwind in a fluctuating 15 to 20-knot nor'easter the boat speed varied from 6.5 to around eight knots, which was quite acceptable for this class of boat. It wasn't pointing like the green Etchells that accompanied us for a while, but it was only three or four degrees worse off - and we were dry!
The helm had felt tight and heavy during our sub-eight-knot breeze sail, but with the wind over 10kts the Seawind came to life and the wheel action lightened considerably.
Seawind and UK Halsey Sails have done their homework with the new sail plan, because the 1000XL balanced perfectly on the wind, rounding up safely in the puffs and then falling off as the breeze eased.
Naturally, the Seawind came into its own with sheets eased to a tight reach and speed went up to 8 to 10kts. It held that speed range until squared away, at which point the little jib gave up and boat speed fell. If we'd had an asymmetric on board this would have been the time to hoist it.
During our three-hour play with the Seawind the boat moved easily, without hobby-horsing and people walked around without having to lurch for handholds. There's something appealing about the sit-flat nature of cruising cats.
The Seawind 1000XL is excellent value for money, offering proven world cruising ability in a package that's less than half the price of some imports. More power to our excellent local yard.

Utah Retirement Communities
Independence is something that many retiring seniors value, especially those who are in excellent health and looking to live their lives to the fullest. Utah retirement communities allow those adults age 55 and older to maintain their active lifestyles with the support and caring that comes with living in a senior-oriented community.
In Utah there are 33 Retirement Communities. We can help you find the best matches for your needs.

Overview of Utah Retirement Communities
Back to topHome to the Great Salt Lake and a variety of other famous tourist attractions, Utah offers plenty of incentives to anyone considering retirement within the state. The St. George and Park City areas are experiencing a boost in population, especially in incoming retirees. Utah's climate is hot and arid during the summer months, with plenty of dry snow to be found in the mountains. Some areas experience enough snow to make places like Ogden attractive for skiers. On the financial side, retirees may be able to take advantage of a small retirement tax credit when they move into the state.
Retirement Communities in Utah Defined
Back to topWhat makes Utah retirement communities so special are the unique services they provide senior residents. A retirement community offers seniors a place to call home without having to deal with the hassles of maintaining a home. The staff take care of the housekeeping and maintenance, which means that residents don't have to deal with the hassles of laundry, lawn care or apartment upkeep. This gives retirees a chance to enjoy a number of exciting activities, from golfing and tennis to walking and relaxation. In addition to any on-site amenities available, residents can also enjoy local dining, entertainment and sightseeing options. Unlike assisted living communities and nursing homes, independent retirement communities allow residents to plan their activities as they choose and travel as they please, thereby preserving and encouraging their independence.
