Well, there is Dadealus the inventor under the patronage of the King of Crete, and many other wizards also under the protection of kings. So, yes there were many smart people but not all of them had access to funding. The current problem by the way.
Since science has revealed the 5,000 ys of cosmic radiation due to the weak magnetic field of 41,000 y ago, it would seem that radiation is more to be feared than perhaps carbon di or methane oozing up from the sea bed as noted by Israeli scientists 2012.
There are lots of ways intelligence is impacted all environmentally sponsored. The Neanders had a bigger brain than us modern forms.
Does tech equal intelligence? Well, there is the wonderful astronomical instrument of the Indian king. The Egyptians of ancient times knew Algol as the 'raging one'' a star that within their southern hemisphere measurements actually altered its orbit.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Benji URGENT!
Facts about Benji URGENT
- Breed: Labrador Retriever Mix
- Color: Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Benji URGENT's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, good with kids, and good with dogs.
Look who is just looking and looking for love? Hard for us to ever imagine a sweet and gentle lab boy like Benji being abandoned at a shelter and in line to be euthanized only due to space. He is charming, gentle, patient, interested, and loving. Sounds like the perfect man to us!
Benji is a darling black lab mix boy, just 40 lbs. so on the smaller side. Sweet as can be and tender, wanting to share his love with you.
We are eager to find this 9yr old cutie pie a home where he can hang out, go for nice walks, and have some play time. He is good with dogs and did grow up with Avery, the girl in one of the pictures.
He is an easy boy and will bring you much joy. Foster or adoptive home welcomed!
We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations range from $150-$250. Thank you for stepping up to save a life! Sweet Benji is an adult/senior rate, just to cover his shots and the rest.
To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!
Other Pets at Saving Great Animals
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Benji URGENT, a San Diego Labrador Retriever dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Labrador Retriever dog from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a San Diego breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever breeders who help with Labrador Retriever rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (7/17/14) — Camp Superpower students will have the opportunity to showcase their projects and share what they have learned during this summer's OPS reading camp Thursday, July 24, 11 a.m. when parents and other invited guests join them at Foust Elementary School, 601 Foust Ave. For a pizza luncheon on their last day of camp.
Sixty-eight Primary 1 students from all five OPS elementary schools (Cravens, Estes, Foust, Newton Parrish and Sutton) have participated in 6 weeks of camp during June and July.
The camp has focused on reading, including one-on-one time with reading specialists, but students have also had lots of opportunities to participate in other activities centered around the camp's theme of "Animal Superpowers." Artwork that reflects the theme decorates the walls and students have created a variety of projects.
While at camp, students have received 10 books each to take home, t-shirts and have gotten to go on field trips.
The camp has been made possible by a grant from the Public Life Foundation.SurfKY News

Metal Gear Solid 4 - £6.00 at CeX (P&P applies online) - Preowned
I saw this for £6 instore at CeX.
Great game and well worth £6.
There is additional P&P when buying online (which isn't recommended at CeX anyway).
This is preowned and the condition varies but PS3 game are very durable.
Link to site to prove price:
Tesco seem to give £6.50 vouchers for this as well, if you're into that kind of thing:
- Superb price, more of a film than a game but still superb quality after all these years.
- I tried to play this I really did but after 20 minutes of watching it and about 5 mins of playing I was alredy sick of it. Thankfully traded it in for same price I bought it at.
MGS 1 and 2 I liked. Beyond that I just couldn't enjoy them.

Being silence doesn't mean I don't wanna talk.
Sometimes, human's heart speaks louder than their tongue. It's amazing how much
you can understand people by listening instead of talking to them. That's
explains why we have two ears and only one mouth. By saying that will lead us
to a question of why we have a set of eye instead of just one eye. Any ideas?
P/S 1: Wow! You've really change. 360 degree of change.
Now it make sense why we haven't be in touch for awhile.
P/S 2: I know that "bukan mudah untuk berubah, dari
tanpa arah ke sejadah. Dari tepi jalanan ke sujud menghadap tuhan." But, keep
it up. This road isn't easy. (Note to self too) I wonder why it reminds me on
Robert Frost……
roads diverge in a wood

Marseilles, IL, Jun 27, 2011 -- Contact: Joan Messina (217) 403-6248
Marseilles Woman Finds Unexpected Help Buying a Home
Marseilles, Ill., June 27, 2011—Help buying a home may be closer than you think. That's what Sandra Bivens from Marseilles found out when the home she was renting was scheduled to be sold. Because she had a dog, she decided it would be best to buy a home, but some hurdles stood in her way.
The solution turned out to be just down the road. Bivens scheduled a meeting with Jan Studer, a Rural Development Housing Specialist in Ottawa. Bivens was approved for an affordable home loan that required no down payment or mortgage insurance, and came with a fixed reduced interest rate and a 33-year term. Still, she couldn't find a house that fit her needs for the money she had saved.
Studer put Bivens in touch with Susie Welch, a homebuyer counselor with Tri-County Opportunities Council (TCOC). They provided Bivens with homebuyer education, credit counseling, an $8,000 down payment, $2,000 in closing costs, and $25,000 to make needed improvements to the home.
"USDA Rural Development frequently works with organizations like Tri-County Opportunities Council to help home buyers clear the hurdles that stand in the way of purchasing a home," said State Rural Development Director Colleen Callahan. "June is National Homeownership Month, and we want to let people know about the resources available to help them buy a home.
"We frequently partner with TCOC and other non-profit agencies to make sure homebuyers with limited income find the resources they need to become successful homeowners," she said. "The people we invest in become more invested in their communities and help to ensure that rural towns have a stable workforce. Our housing programs stimulate economic activity which, in turn, means rural jobs."
TCOC is a Community Action Agency serving nine east central Illinois counties. To be eligible for their homebuyer financing programs, families need to meet the income guidelines, have a good credit history and have savings of at least $1,000 to put toward the down payment. Purchasers need to be pre-qualified through TCOC before starting a home search. Current homeowners may qualify for help weatherizing their homes. More information on TCOC programs is available at www.tcochelps.com/ or by calling 1-800-323-5434.
Rural Development offers affordable direct home loans for homebuyers with low income. The loans can be used to purchase homes in communities with up to 20,000 residents and do not require a down payment or monthly mortgage insurance. These loans offer subsidized interest rates and up to a 38 year term. Maximum loan limits apply for direct loans and vary by county.
Rural Development also offers loan guarantees for homebuyers with moderate income who lack adequate funding for down payments. Home repair loans may be available to very low income homeowners at one percent interest for up to 20 years. More information on Rural Development's housing programs is available by calling the Ottawa office at (815) 433-0551 ext. 4 or by checking online at www.rurdev.usda.gov/il.
Rural Development has more than 40 programs that foster growth and economic stability in rural areas by providing affordable financing and technical assistance. Support is available for regional food systems, broadband and biofuel infrastructure, homeownership, business development and community needs. USDA is an equal opportunity provider, employer and lender.

Through an exhaustive research and development process, we've created a goggle line that offers three specific innovations: greater field of vision, better fog control, and more comfortable fit for every head and face shape. And by including the best available lens clarity and a wide range of lenses for diverse conditions, Salomon goggles deliver the one innovation that really counts, better vision
An extremely soft material between the frame and face foam, called custom frame, adapts precisely to any face shape, for improved comfort
By reducing the thickness of the frame, the X-TEND concept greatly increases the field vision
With scoops that create low-pressure zones to pull moisture away from the lens, THE TCS concept keeps fog away whether wearing a helmet or beanie.
Engineered with 2 different density materials to maximize the comfort and to better shape & fit all faces
A silicon print applied in the internal part of the strap to have a smooth grip on the helmet
A valuable stretch woven strap for an attractive looking and matching with your helmet & beanie
Patented frame design that comfortably adapts to different face shapes. A soft, extremely flexible membrane between the face foam and the outside of the frame adapts to any face shape, for a precise, comfortable fit and better goggle performance.
Engineered for universal faces, mainly dedicated to men
Double density PU foam (one for instant comfort and one for reactive support) with velvet layering for great skin contact
Scoops create low pressure zones just outside the side and top vents of the goggle, to pull moist air away from the lens and face.
Polarized lenses contain a laminated filter that allows only vertically oriented light to pass through. This blocks the horizontally oriented light so glare is almost eliminated.
Additionnal anti-scratch finishing with high resistance and long-lasting durability
The lens is injected in top quality and shock resistant Polycarbonate or Polyamide. The injection process has a higher quality & price ratio, providing a sharp vision and optical perfection.
From Carl Zeiss Vision, the world leader in the optical lenses, Spherical lens has a 3D rounded appearance, similar to human eye. Its sur-face is part of a sphere, which has the same radius horizontally and vertical-ly. It offers a wider peripheral angle of vision.
Designed for an adjustable and superior helmet integration
Engineered to perfectly fit Salomon helmet with perfect & smart design matching
Quick and easy replacement of your lens
Over wide field of vision: greater field of vision thanks to the thickness reduction of the frame

Denton Man Exiled for Being a Felon in Possession of a Gun
Sold 4 Stolen Guns to Undercover Law Enforcement Officer
Baltimore, Maryland - U.S. District Judge William D. Quarles, Jr. sentenced Michael Lednum, age 24, of Denton, Maryland, today to seven years in prison followed by three years of supervised release for being a felon in possession of a firearm , announced United States Attorney for the District of Maryland Rod J. Rosenstein.
According to Lednum's plea agreement, in January 2009, the Maryland State Police began investigating a person, later identified as Michael Lednum, who was selling guns without a license. An undercover operation was set up in Stevensville, Maryland to purchase guns from Lednum. On January 21, 2009 Lednum sent undercover officers pictures of guns for sale and the officers arranged to meet Lednum at a local restaurant to buy four guns for $1,000. Lednum met the undercover officers in the restaurant parking lot and the officers purchased a .45 caliber rifle, a .223 caliber rifle, a 12 gauge shotgun and a..223 caliber rifle.
Law enforcement officials attempted to stop Lednum's car after it left the parking lot. Instead Lednum drove his car to a gas station in Stevensville, got out and ran away. After a chase lasting over a mile, police officers arrested Lednum.
On January 22, 2009, a search warrant was issued for Lednum's residence and law enforcement recovered several guns, including a .220 caliber rifle; a .50 caliber rifle; a .44 caliber black powder pistol; a .44 caliber revolver; a .22 caliber blank gun; and a .308 caliber assault rifle. Further investigation revealed that several of the guns recovered from Lednum's residence, as well as those bought by the undercover officer, were previously stolen in a home burglary.
United States Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein thanked the Maryland State Police, Queen Anne's County Sheriff R. Gery Hoffmann III, Dorchester County Sheriff James W. Phillips, Caroline County Sheriff Phillip L. Brown and their offices, and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for their work in this investigation. Mr. Rosenstein also thanked Queen Anne's County State's Attorney Lance Richardson, Dorchester County State's Attorney William H. Jones and Caroline County State's Attorney Jonathan Newell for their assistance in the investigation and prosecution. Mr. Rosenstein commended Assistant United States Attorney Mushtaq Z. Gunja, who prosecuted the case.

As an endocrinologist, I am consulted for patients with thyroid disorders, infertility, hair loss, excessive hair growth, acne, pituitary tumors, osteoporosis, hypercalcemia, polycystic ovarian syndrome, menopause, and in those situations where a hormonal disorder is suspected or where specialized medical care is needed. Cholesterol disorders, diabetes, and "the metabolic syndrome" are typical metabolic disorders encountered in my practice.
As an internist, my practice is also concerned with the diagnosis and nonsurgical treatment of diseases of the internal organs of the adult body. Such illnesses would include depression, high blood pressure, cancer, anxiety, and heart disease.
What is the thyroid
The thyroid gland is an endocrine gland located in the neck. Its functions are production, storage, and secretion of two thyroid hormones-thyroxine (T 4) and triiodothyronine (T3).
Hormones are chemicals that travel through the blood to every part of the body; thyroid hormones regulate the body's use of energy.

December 8 – Christmas Cookies: Did your family or ancestors make Christmas Cookies? How did you help? Did you have a favorite cookie?
This is one of my all time favorite cookies to make at Christmas time. They are quick and easy and add a different texture to the cookie platter.
Date Nut Balls
(A Recipe from My Grandmother Sarah Lilla Watt Glover Bell)
1 c. dates
1 c. sugar
1 stick of oleo
Combine and cook 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Cool. Stir in 2 ½ cups rice krispies and 1 t. vanilla and nuts. Cool about 8 minutes. Roll in balls then roll in coconut (long).
I wrote the recipe as it was given to me. I smile when I see the ingredient oleo in a recipe. I know that recipe is an old one. Oleo was a term used in the forties and fifties. It was short for oleomargarine; which we now know as margarine. I don't have a lot of my grandmother's recipes but this is one I enjoy making at Christmas time.

My grandmother died when I was about 12 and do not remember her baking cookies. However, I do remember she made a great macaroni and cheese caserole with cracker crumbs on top that would get really crunchy. She also could make the thinnest and biggest pancakes. They would fill a whole plate! I loved them with butter and jelly and would roll them up. They were great!
I'll have to try your date nut balls. They sound really good! - December 08, 2010 1:08 PM

Star Wars Bowling Balls for That Perfect 300 Game, Dude.
The Force is sure to help your game with these bowling balls featuring the likeness of iconic Star Wars characters.
Whether you're Jedi or Sith, there's a ball for you. While I think it would be fun to show up to league with Darth Vader bowling bag, you might prefer the grimacing visage of Jedi Master Yoda.
Or maybe you can't decide which side you're on, and would rather go for the showdown between Anakin and Obi-Wan.
Brunswick makes these officially licensed Star Wars bowling balls under their Viz-a-Ball brand, which features limited edition graphics ranging from Scooby Doo to the Three Stooges to the Clone Troopers heading off into battle.
There are also balls featuring C-3PO, Darth Maul, Boba Fett, Leia and Amadala among others. Han Solo and Chewie fans are out of luck, though. Personally, I wish they did one where the whole ball was painted like the Death Star.
You can find the whole Viz-a-Ball series bowling balls (including the Star Wars ones) over on Amazon for $90 to $120 each.
Of course, if you were a REAL Jedi, you'd just use your Force Push to knock all the pins down with a wave of your hand.

Comments (9):
You can get these balls and many more Viz-a-Balls at http://www.bowlingball.com. They usually have better prices than anyone on the internet
Is there any ball with the Star Wars Death Star?
Not just a picture of it in the ball, but like if the hole ball was the Death Star itself.
That is a pretty sweet ball. I found one at http://www.bowling.com. I hope they come up with more.
Looking to buy darth maul bowling ball to buy
Please does anyone know or have a 8lb yoda bowling ball by son is crazy bout yoda n is part of a bowling team. Id be the best mum ever if I could get him one. But im in the UK and im struggling to find someone who would ship

« Final report from the field in Romania | Reports from the field in Romania, Wednesday June 13 » |
Reposted from Justin Taylor:
C. S. Lewis:
All sorts of people are fond of repeating the Christian statement that ?God is love.? But they seem not to notice that the words ?God is love? have no real meaning unless God contains at least two Persons. Love is something that one person has for another person. If God was a single person, then before the world was made, He was not love. (Mere Christianity [revised and enlarged edition, HarperSanFrancisco, 2001], ch. 2; pp. 160-161.
Richard of St. Victor, a 12th century Scottish theologian ministering in France, put it like this:
One never says that someone properly possesses love if he only loves himself; for it to be true love, it must go out towards another. Consequently, where a plurality of persons is lacking, it is impossible for there to be love. (De Trinitate, III.2)

Gentoo forums recently implemented that. I think it was last week that the threads in "Off the Wall" section were no longer counted in users post count. As you might imagine this cause outrage amoung the usless few who _only_ post total garbage. It reduced "gurus" to "newbies" :D and rightly so if you ask me.

if there was a way to make sure there aren't any useless +/- reps than i think this would be a great idea (i'm also assuming that you have a way of implementing it on these boards).
just my 2 cents though

Switches and Switching Devices A Touch of Design
APPLIANCE Staff Feature
Slovenian kitchen appliance maker Gorenje made a conscious decision to move upmarket, and over the past 5 years it has worked to strengthen its image as a design and technology trendsetter.
Gorenje's cooktop slider controls allow "direct access" temperature setting without the need for slew keys, which is said to create a highly desirable replacement for mechanical knobs.
A milestone of this effort was the launch of its Pininfarina series of kitchen appliances in 2005. In November 2006, this series received the prestigious Manufacturer's Award from The Designer magazine—the third prize won by this product line after little more than 1 year in the market.
Key to this award-winning design is the use of touch controls from Quantum Research Group in Southampton, England. In a first-ever product design, Gorenje made use of Quantum's QT401 QSlide sensing chip for three of its Pininfarina cooktop controls, along with Quantum QT1100A ten-key chips for discrete buttons. These spread-spectrum charge-transfer devices allowed Gorenje to develop user interfaces in a fresh way.
There were problems with the former switches, according to Hal Philipp, CEO of touch chip provider Quantum. "Mechanical switches were not consumer appealing or functional enough to do the job," he says. "The product definition called for touch controls to enhance the product and make the product more upscale. Mechanical switches are not reliable enough, nor are they differentiating enough."
The new chip is used in Pininfarina cooktops as a temperature setting mechanism, allowing "direct access" to the desired heat setting rather than the more traditional "slew" type control, which most users find tedious. The chip is a charge-transfer based capacitive sensor IC that detects finger position along a strip. The sensor's fields can penetrate up to 5-mm thick glass panels.
The basis of this technology is the use of CMOS switches to charge the sensing electrode strip to a voltage, then transfer the electrode strip's charge to a pair of fixed capacitors whose voltages are then measured. This 14-pin surface-mount device has a resolution of 127 positions across the sensing strip. The strip can be a resistive film or resistor ladder, or interleaved copper PCB electrodes. It uses spread spectrum burst modulation to suppress the effects of electrical noise. The interface is SPI, and the part operates over a 2.7-V to 5-V range. The chips include automatic drift compensation and automatic calibration.
Gorenje's Pininfarina kitchen makes extensive use of touch controls to give it a sleek, stylish look with easy-to-use, intuitive user interfaces.
Up to 10 additional touch buttons come from the QT1100A 10-key chip that senses touch or proximity using capacitive charge-transfer technology. The basis of this technology is the use of CMOS switches to charge the sensing electrode to a voltage, then transfer the electrode's charge to a fixed capacitor, whose voltage is then measured. This 48-pin surface-mount device also features patented Adjacent Key Suppression™ (AKS), used to resolve touch ambiguity when more than one key is touched unintentionally, such as in tightly spaced keypads.
This device uses spread spectrum burst modulation to suppress the effects of electrical noise on performance and offers three output interfaces: UART, SPI and scanport. It operates over a 3.3- to 5-V range. The 10-key chip includes automatic drift compensation and automatic calibration.
Both chips project a touch sense field through thick glass, including glass cooktops. "Gorenje's choice of touch slider and button chips for its Pininfarina series allowed them to create distinctive, high-value designs not found elsewhere," Philipp says. "Gorenje's choice of controls was inspired, not only because it won them so many immediate design awards, but also because it allows intuitive non-mechanical user controls, easy wipe-down functionality, electrical robustness, and [more] importantly, a high degree of design flexibility simply not available with other control technologies."
According to Joze Dermol, lead engineer of Gorenje's R&D department, "The positive experiences customers report about these touch controls made us think, research and develop user interfaces in a different, fresh way. With these devices, we see that there are no longer problems for us to create any kind or shape of appliance front panel, solving a major design barrier. We realize now that touch-sensor-based user interfaces can meet any design demand, and the resulting modern design and user-friendly interface no longer needs to be an exclusive feature."
Philipp says Quantum is working with Gorenje on next-generation user interfaces for kitchen appliances.

Film program in the spotlight
By Mike Hornick
In advance of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, an online film journal called IndieWIRE.com took note of the "considerable buzz" being generated by film schools at Cal State Monterey Bay and other places somewhat "off the beaten path."
"Forget about USC or UCLA," the article said.
CSUMB's answer to traditional film schools – known as the Department of Teledramatic Arts and Technology, or "TAT" – continues to create buzz, win acclaim and produce graduates who find success in the varied and competitive world of film and video.
TAT integrates a sense of community into each aspect of student experience, from collaborative filmmaking and festivals to service projects in neighboring cities. A strong alumni network spreads that sense of community to places like Los Angeles, supporting new grads as they seek employment.
Students get involved quickly – getting their hands on cameras and editing gear early.
"You can start making films in your freshman year, where you wouldn't touch a camera in most schools 'til you're a junior," said Janaye Brown, a 2010 graduate. She now pursues a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Texas, Austin, where she earned a David J. Bruton Fellowship.
TAT resources more than suffice for the 163 students now in the program, said J.J. Melancon, a senior who aspires to start a production company on the Monterey Peninsula. "There are four different buildings you're able to edit at – and great production facilities," he said.
Faculty and staff resources are equally varied.
"A lot of teachers are or were professionals in the field, so they have connections," said Adam Younkin, a senior.
For example, a TAT project, the Monterey Bay Film Society, employs Mike Plante, the associate programmer for the Sundance Film Festival as creative director. "He brings an unending stream of internationally renowned filmmakers to visit," said Enid Baxter Blader, TAT department chair.
"He's also visited our Capstone classes," Blader said, referring to senior students' thesis project. "Each senior got to pitch film ideas and get feedback from him one-on-one."
The traffic heads Sundance's way, too. Two films by Cal State Monterey Bay alumni – Doug Mueller and the team of Robert Machoian and Rodrigo Ojeda-Beck – have screened at the prestigious festival in the past two years.
The senior-year projects culminate in the semi-annual, on-campus Capstone Festival, next set for May 20. Last year about 1,100 filmgoers filled the university's World Theater to view narrative, documentary and experimental films.
"It's absolutely electric," Blader said. "It's not only family and friends; it's really the community coming out for this. That's unusual for an undergraduate institution."
Other events nearby provide opportunities for TAT students to screen their films or gain curating experience year-round. Student films have shown at two Carmel festivals, in June and October; at Sand City's West End Festival; and at the Blue Ocean and First Night events in Monterey.
TAT started the annual Monterey Bay Film Festival, held this year on April 9. Launched in 2008, it now draws about 300 entries for the teen program. Besides California, they come from such places as El Salvador and Armenia. Plante brings a collection of programs, some straight from Sundance.
The festival's budget was held together at first by duct tape and paper clips, but it has recently benefited greatly from grants and private donations.
"Students get to see what it's like to curate and produce a film festival," Blader said. "They form relationships with visiting filmmakers who become mentors to them."
Rachel Asendorf, a senior, was a producer's assistant for last year's Monterey Bay Teen Young Filmmakers' program, part of the MBFF.
"I watched all the footage and helped categorize things," she said. "We pick which teen films will be in the festival. I wrangled people for interviews and made sure everyone checked in. This semester I hope to be stage manager."
Students' interaction with teens – and sometimes children – becomes even more direct in the department's projects in service learning, which integrates the experience of public service into the academic major.
"I love making films, but I found what I really wanted to do was impact youths' lives in any way I could – by telling stories or just being a friend or role model," said Juan Ramirez, a 2009 graduate. His service learning project, "Concrete Paradigm," documented the struggles and hopes of detainees in Monterey County Juvenile Hall.
"Concrete Paradigm" won awards for Ramirez and co-director Stephen Sprague at several film festivals. The sequel, "Letters from Within," was just tapped for a March 19 screening at the International Family Film Festival in Hollywood. Ramirez, who has since become TAT's community outreach coordinator, is making a third film, "Trojans Under the Helmet," that looks at social pressures in Salinas through the eyes of athletes.
"We didn't just film," Ramirez said of the Juvenile Hall projects. "We taught workshops there for a whole year. We got to know them and were mentors."
Added Blader, "The workshops teach teens to value their own stories. They create interconnectedness and hope for kids who feels alone. Juvenile Hall has about a 95 percent recidivism rate; anecdotally we know the incidence is lower for teens we've served.
"Some have ended up in adult programs for filmmaking. They decided, 'This is what I want to do.' That's powerful."
For her service project, Brown led a filmmaking class for teens at the Salinas Public Library and overcame nervousness about taking the role of teacher.
Not every TAT student wants to work in the conventional film industry. Melinda DeRouen, a 2005 graduate, still shoots video but focuses on stage-acting and radio work. And the film work of Brown and Ojeda-Beck – who's now in graduate school at the University of California, Berkeley – is geared as much to galleries as to theaters.
"(TAT) exposed me to experimental media," Brown said. "A lot of that exists in the art world. Had I not gone to CSUMB, I might have worked in a traditional film program."
TAT doesn't just look at filmmaking, Blader said.
"There's a confluence between film and multiple histories of storytelling," she said. "We're looking at the histories of theater, performance, art and avant-garde image-making. This approach gives our students a visual fluency that sets them above the average. This is why they are recognized at international film festivals."
Graduates working in such commercial film centers as Hollywood or San Francisco say the breadth of experience gained at Cal State Monterey Bay helped get their careers off the ground.
"I thought I just wanted to write and direct, but TAT opened my eye to everything that was out there," said Justin Bloch, a 2004 grad who now edits for the Discovery Channel in Hollywood.
Like many TAT graduates, Bloch has experience in reality TV. He spent a few seasons at the Fox hit "Hell's Kitchen." More recently he edited a new show, "Enough Already," for the Oprah Winfrey network.
TAT grads are a tight-knit bunch. An alumni reunion is slated this spring for a Sunset Boulevard venue.
"I've gotten and given job leads for TAT students," Bloch said. "In L.A., we help each other. I've become used to hearing (managers) say they'll hire someone from the same school. They say I'm useful."
Said Blader, "It's more than references. They hire each other and help each other make their projects, too."
Shawn Hovis is help-desk coordinator for Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville. It's an information technology job, but Pixar offers him occasional filmmaking opportunities. His live-action short "Play by Play" won the Children's Choice Award at the Bay Area International Children's Film Festival and has been accepted to the Cleveland International Film Festival.
"Whether you make it or not, much of it is luck," Hovis said. "But you have to generate things from yourself. TAT gets you going, but they expect a lot out of you."
As 2010 ended, 2001 Oscar-winning grad David Kashevaroff began a four-month, on-location stint in Vancouver, B.C., as first assistant editor for the moon-landing thriller "Apollo 18," due out in April.
"It's a unique movie in that they're shooting and editing in a short period," Kashevaroff said.
Other TAT graduates have worked on such recent commercial films as "Coraline" and the latest installments of "Toy Story," "Terminator" and "Star Trek."
Bloch said TAT taught him that how to collaborate with others on a project.
"Everyone has a small part that makes up the larger production," he said. "Working in L.A., I see people who lose sight of that and fall flat on their face.
"A lot of people here only know post-production, so they don't even talk to people in production. TAT students are able to bridge that gap."

E-Wallet for Linux?

e-Wallet? What does that do? If I guess correctly, you're asking for something that can store your credit card details on your ultra-portable laptop with wireless roaming...
Nice and convenient, huh?
If this is what you're asking for then DON'T DO IT! Never, ever, send any account numbers over an untrusted/unencrypted wireless network (anyone could be listening) and never leave your credit card details in your ultra-portable computer.Linux user #126863 - see http://linuxcounter.net/

The popular locker room gag of putting Tiger Balm (or some other heat inducing ointment) into someone's athletic supporter. The ensuing extreme discomfort of the victim can be quite hilarious.
Back in high school, my friends and I laughed all day long after giving a fireball to some jerk who always hassled the retarded kids. Seeing him stagger around the locker room, grabbing his dick and screaming "My balls, my fuckin' balls!" was priceless.

City joins provincial recycling program (The Daily News, Nov. 27).
It is important to clarify an aspect of our program that was referenced in your article.
Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC) will accept non-deposit glass containers, either as a separate stream in curbside collection programs, where local governments choose to provide this service, or by delivering glass containers to depots.
Glass can break when it is collected in the same container as other materials, becoming a safety hazard and contaminating the other materials so that they cannot be recycled.
By separating glass at curbside and by delivering glass to depots, residents can help ensure that an increasing amount of glass is recycled through MMBC's system and that it does not contaminate other recyclable materials.

I've been reading with interest the posts on Windows Forum about the merits/demerits of the various window replacement options, since for months I've been considering replacing the windows in my old 1930s colonial.
I want to replace them for aesthetic, not functional/structural reasons. The old wood windows have storm/screen systems and are in reasonable condition--no rot, leaks, etc. But they are small and the grilles make them look smaller, plus they have been painted many times and look tired....Inside the house decor is contemporary --I would like to put in some windows without grilles to give the house a more modern feel and open it up visually. Early on I decided that vinyl would not look right in my 1930s house. (My kitchen remodeling contractor put in a new vinyl window three years ago, it looks fine but I know it's not the look I want for the rest of the house.) That eliminated a lot of options. My research also suggested that when replacing windows, the choices are more limited than buying windows for new construction, since many brands do not come in custom sizes. So I looked at Pella and Renewal by Andersen replacement windows. I much preferred the RBA in terms of aethetics and detailing. I have also been wondering whether to do full replacements or inserts, just saw tonight another discussion forum entry on garden web about the person whose Andersen full replacement windows were warped/bowed, etc. I got a quote from RBA for $12K for 10 windows, this seems like a lot of money but from other estimates cited on this website does not seem out of line for RBA.... Here are my questions for the window experts: 1. Is replacing my functioning windows a reasonable thing to do or fearfully extravagant? Should I just make my peace and continue to live with the 80-year old windows as I have done for the last twenty one years? 2. Should I be considering inserts or full window replacement? 3. Am I mistakenly enamored of Fibrex and RBA? Are there other less pricy (non-vinyl) options I should be looking at that would meet my requirements? And how good exactly is Andersen's record? I do realize having read some of the other discussion threads and postings that a lot of folks who opine on this site have pretty strong reactions to RBA, although as one individual noted this may reflect lack of familiarity with the product since Andersen controls the whole process from sale through installation. I've been stringing the Andersen rep along for months....I'd appreciate any expert advice I can get to help me make a decision! And thanks so much in advance for your help! |

hi SC.... have you considered Infinity by Marvin? I was really impressed by the window, and their cost is very close to the Andersen Renewals. I had a bad experience with my Andersen Sales guy - he was very high-pressure, didn't listen to a word I said, and was rude to my kids (who were putting the windows through their own test!). But both windows seemed pretty good and in the same price range. I too have the same feelings about vinyl - i live in an old house and would love to have something that looks a bit nicer than vinyl. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Marvin Infinity
I agree. The Marvin Infinity would be my choice. |

I just finished watching a truly ugly, sloppy, substandard display of basketball at Conseco Fieldhouse. The Indiana Pacers and Toronto Raptors combined for 41 turnovers (25 for Indiana, 16 for Toronto) but the Pacers came out ahead because they dominated on the boards with a 56-38 advantage, because they have players who can make three-pointers (Indiana went 8-for-20 while Toronto went 1-for-6) and because they have a true lane intimidator in Roy Hibbert — definitely the star of this game with 24 points, 11 rebounds and a couple of blocks.
It was the same story it's been for the past few weeks for the Raptors. They missed open shots, they got outworked for loose balls, and they had very little cohesion on the court — a lot of the time, they play together like a group of guys who showed up for a pickup game and have never played together before. Also, when your supposed top two offensive players (Andrea Bargnani and DeMar DeRozan) shoot 6-for-30 combined, it's a pretty safe bet this isn't your night.
While Pacers interim coach Frank Vogel surely wasn't thrilled to see his team tie their season-high in turnovers in his debut, he had to be happy with the performance by Hibbert — who looked like the dangerous Big Roy from November rather than the shell of a player he's appeared to be throughout most of January. One game playing for Vogel doesn't prove that fired coach Jim O'Brien was Hibbert's problem, but if this is what it took for him to get his confidence back, so be it.
This loss makes it 12 in a row for the Raptors and I don't see a recent end in sight unless something drastic happens. That could be a trade, a new coach, or maybe even a heart transplant for Andrea Bargnani. But this is a thoroughly discouraged and disillusioned group of young men I saw in black and red tonight.
Raptors Player of the Game: Amir Johnson — 38 Min, 18 Pts, 8-14 FG, 2-5 FT, 8 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 1 Blk
Pacers Player of the Game: Roy Hibbert — 30 Min, 24 Pts, 9-19 FG, 6-9 FT, 11 Reb, 1 Ast, 2 Stl, 2 Blk
Goat of the Game: Andrea Bargnani — 33 Min, 12 Pts, 3-15 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 6-8 FT, 5 Reb, 1 Ast, 0 Stl, 1 Blk

American doctors donate $25,000 to eye clinic
-A A +AWednesday, January 18, 2012
BACOLOR — American doctors Eric and Vicky Lohse donated on Wednesday some $25,000 worth of medical equipment to the Ambulatory Surgical Eye Clinic (ASEC) of the Jose A. Datu Medical Center (JADMC) through the Kapampangan Development Foundation (KDF).
The donation was formally received by KDF president Benigno Ricafort during the fellowship dinner with the doctors at the Bale Kapampangan here. The donation was part of the commitment of the Lohse couple in helping with the KDF mission.
The couple was invited to the KDF mission by Filipino expatriate Dr. Leticia Drapiza who is a volunteer of KDF to help in the free cataract surgery missions of the KDF this week.
Drapiza said the couple responded favorably to the invitation and even came up with some $800 in additional corneal lenses used in the operations. She said that their group is always ready to help KDF in whatever way they can.
"The experience is something that we would cherish. We have also made an inventory of the other equipment needed for the clinic and we will try our very best to contribute further," Drapiza said.
Meanwhile, Dr. Eric Lohse said they had a wonderful time with other volunteers of KDF in the cataract missions. He added that they will try their best in bringing more support for KDF in terms of equipment
"KDF has a wonderful facility there and we hope that you can serve more poor people needing eye health services," Lohse said.
Lohse is married to wife Vicky who traces her roots to San Luis town in Pampanga.
Vicky came to the Philippines after 37 years of living in the United States to help in the missions.
Meanwhile, Ricafort expressed his gratitude to the doctors for their donations.
Ricafort said the new facility will greatly expand the scope of medical services that are currently provided by KDF which include medical missions, free clinic consultations, minor operations among others.
KDF is an organization of Kapampangans who live outside of the region, yearning to do their share in its social and economic development. It boasts of a continuing prosthesis program that gives artificial legs to Pampanga amputees, wheelchairs and medical-surgical missions to amputees.

T is crazy about the ladies. He's wild about legs. He will regularly walk up to a teenage girl in a short skirt, hitch himself to her leg, and declare, "LEGS!!" It's generally more hilarious than it is embarrassing. I sometimes wonder if it has anything to do with the Lady Gaga videos I let him watch as a baby.
No surprise then that his new obsession is the controversial Katy Perry/Elmo video (if you're reading this on Facebook, see the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHROHJlU_Ng). I think it's playful and adorable. I guess the big issue with this is that she's showing too much booby. Huh? I think kids can handle a little booby. We're talking the same boobies that these kids were recently sucking on, right? I'm obviously not your average mom when it comes to stuff like this, but come on.
Whenever things like this come up, I can't help but think about the depth of the love/hate relationship that our culture has with women's bodies. We pathologically sexualize women's bodies and then turn around and demonize them for it.
Katy Perry's dress in the video is actually pretty tame. Frankly, she'd be sexy in a paper sack and I think it's her sexiness that parents are reacting to and not the dress itself. As a parent, I'm a lot less concerned about a little sexiness in my son's life than I am the rampant commercialism and militarism in children's toys and media.
Now Elmo's consistent nudity, that's another story…

- Brown bacon and scallions in fry pan until bacon is crisp.
- Remove and drain on paper towel lined plate.
- Once cooled, crumble bacon.
- Add chicken pieces to pan and brown on both sides.
- Remove chicken and set aside.
- Put onions, mushrooms and garlic in crock.
- Add chicken pieces, bacon, scallions, salt and pepper, thyme, potatoes and broth.
- Cover and cook for 3-4 hours on high or 8-10 on low.
- During your last hour, add the red wine and cook on high.
- Serve with the broth spooned over the chicken and vegetables, like a stew.
Instead of crumbling bacon, you can also dice the bacon before cooking but I find raw bacon difficult to cut.

- Color: Black - With White
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Buddy's Info...
I am already neutered and up to date with shots.
buddy and some of his black litter mates are just as cute as can be. But as you can guess, there are just too many of them at the shelter. They are such cuties and such snugglers. they are calling you to come get them and give them a hug. Hopefully you wont' leave without saving one and making it the best 85.00 investment you've made in a long time. The shelter address: 650 John Howell Memorial Drive in Lincolnton. 704 736 4125. Open 6 days a week; M-Sat 11 to 4:30 and Thursday open until 5:30 pm. Closed Sunday. Adoption fee of 85.00 includes the spay or neuter , another disease preventative vaccine ,a rabies vaccine, microchip and 30 days of free pet health insurance, as well as worming. It is a great deal! For more info, contact "email@example.com" . these dogs dont' have forever, so please, don't delay! The shelter is full of pups right now. Thanks for looking
Other Pets at Friends of Lincoln County Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Buddy, a Lincolnton Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) for sale in Lincolnton, or seeking a Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) puppy from a breeder in Lincolnton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Lincolnton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Lincolnton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) breeders who help with Labrador Retriever/Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Lincolnton paves the way for another one to be saved.

When told that it looked like she was controlling Thompson's arm, Johnson responded, "You can't feel the resistance."
Resistance is an important part of facilitated-communication training. It's the facilitator's job to pull back on his partner's hand, creating tension. "As soon as she touches a letter, you're going to pull back up," Brenda Granger, who's been doing the training under the WOW grant, instructed one pair. "Pull back to the middle so they can go either way. You need to get the feel for how hard people are going to push."
Never tell them "I'll just help you with the first letter," she added.
As she watched the training, Linda Rosa, executive director of Advocates for Children in Therapy and an outspoken critic of attachment therapy, let an occasional eye roll or exasperated laugh escape her. Afterward, she asked the WOW group if they would arrange a test to demonstrate facilitated communication's effectiveness to skeptics. She suggested that they send Thompson's facilitator out of the room while Rosa asked him a simple addition problem that would be easy for a man who'd passed calculus. The facilitator could then return to help him express the answer.
Rosa's idea was rejected. There would be test anxiety, she was told. A facilitator's presence was necessary for processing. "They claimed people coming to their trainings were quite satisfied with their success stories, and that I was the only one to ever question facilitated communication," Rosa says.
Dr. Bernard Rimland of the Autism Research Institute in San Diego is another outspoken critic of the therapy, even though he knows of one successful case -- and even though his own son is autistic. In a recently published paper, he said that seventy studies involving 500 mentally-handicapped individuals have shown overwhelmingly that if the facilitator does not know the question, the client cannot respond correctly. So Rimland finds it "absolutely shocking" that a group of facilitated-communication users have received government funding. "It's fraud," he says. "Not only is it fraud, it's dangerous. People's lives have been ruined because of this. It's just terrible. It's an awful shame that they're getting away with it. They should be exposed."
Although Hoover emphasizes the importance of not misusing facilitated communication, he insists he's never met someone who hasn't authored their own words. "I think I need to tell people who do not believe facilitated communication is real that they need to look at the lives of people who type and tell them to learn more about autism from the people who have it," he says. "I think I need them to get a life doing something helpful, not trying to stop people who need FC because of their narrow perceptions of truth."

The ultimate challenge in my opinion is to create something that makes sense but can't be explained. I believe that the subconscious outsmarts logic. I create objects that may not necessarily make sense in the waking world but may very well exist in the subconscious.
I also seek to create uneasiness. We are in an era flooded with objects, objects of use, comfort, sophistication, flamboyancy... There are many objects that serve immediate comfort, yet few are made to be a companion to our recurring feelings of uneasiness.
I like to create renditions of man's persistent struggle, of broken parts and missing pieces in cyclic systems rendering the manipulation of raw flesh. I find value in representing compromise and yearning, torn by natural or unnatural forces.
My process involves using digital fabrication techniques, the very ones that ground our ecosystem with supply to produce work that for its raw primordial subject is also relevant to the latest technology. I use a combination of ZBrush, Rhino and Maya 3D modeling programs to sculpt on the computer. At the same time, studies are rendered traditionally in oil-based clay. The final computer incarnation is digitally printed via additive manufacturing processes.
