Preserving the design legacy of Calvert Vaux
This annual NYC based Art History conference will tour the Hoyt House – the tour of the house will be led by Francis Kowsky and Alan Strauber. http://artinitiatives.com/ for more info.
We are honored that the Hoyt House will be included in the Silver Anniversary of Hudson River Heritage's annual Country Seats Tour. http://www.hudsonriverheritage.org/ for further details.
We'll be back on the front lawn of the Hoyt House this year only this time we'll be able to take attendees inside the house. Plus, recently performed restoration work on the exterior can be viewed. We'll have live music, food, drink and speakers. So put it on your calender and details will follow.
Calvert Vaux Preservation Alliance is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit advocacy organization dedicated to preserving the architectural and landscape design legacy of Calvert Vaux, senior co-designer of Manhattan's Central Park and Prospect Park in Brooklyn, along with residences throughout the Hudson Valley, notably in Newburgh and Kingston, among other works. CVPA is also the friends' group for the Hoyt House ("The Point") in Staatsburg, NY, by agreement with the site's owner, New York State Office of Parks. The Hoyt House is arguably Vaux's most important application of the picturesque concept in its integration of landscape and architectural design.

Re: removing hull numbers
jf, you can find "decal remover" at any auto parts store. Or use naphtha, which is the original solvent, or something higher end if you want to move faster. The companies that make the vinyl all say to use a heat gun, or the remover, or there's 3M's "eraser" wheel that you can buy in auto body shop supplies. That's a hard rubber grinding wheel you put in a drill, it will abrade the vinyl off without damaging the hull finish. I'd suggest the heat gun first, and patience. Chemicals on a vertical surface is always a mess.
If you go to a sign shop as Chuck suggests, make sure they are using exterior rated and guaranteed vinyl. The good stuff will have a 5-7 year guarantee on it. A white "plaque" with dark letters on it will hide all the old sins, because the old numbers WILL leave ghosts behind. The gelcoat has worn down around them, you'd need to refinish the hull to hide that.

Joe Jackson Wants The Kids, Duh!
Joe Jackson really doesn't want to hand over Michael Jackson's kids to Debbie Rowe.
On ABC's Good Morning America, he declared that he wishes that Michael's three children remain with him and wife Katherine, saying "There's no one else to do what we can do for them."
"We should keep them all together and make them happy," he went on. "And feed them like they're supposed to be fed. And let them get rest ... and grow up to be strong Jacksons."
Of course, he has big plans for his grandkids. "I keep watching Paris. She wants to do something."
What about the other kids? He revealed that Michael Prince II (Blanket) "can really dance." He went on, "that's what they're saying. He can really dance."
For now, Katherine remains the children's temporary legal guardian until a hearing on July 13.
Do you think it's a good idea for Michael's father to get custody of the kids? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

Dinner at the Farm
By: Joy Shepperd (Aug 17, 2012)
I was lucky enough to be invited to the farm for dinner several months ago and it was yummy. Before dinner, Mike took me to see the raised beds he had been working on and everything was very healthy looking. Met a few dogs and a donkey or two and Lee cooks a great steak. Love their infused honey as well.

Great honey and great people
By: Dennis Decker (Aug 15, 2012)
Mike, Lisa, and Lee have created something really wonderful at Karma Acres Farm. Not only do they have great honey--including some amazing honey infusions-- but they have also created a little piece of paradise on earth. Their beautiful farm is a haven for rescued animals, bees, and native birds. I would definitely recommend a visit (call ahead, of course).
What is more, they have been instrumental in helping us get Early Risers Bread off the ground, and they did so without a thought of what might be in it for them. These are genuinely good people, making the world a more beautiful place.

Bees and Bonnet!!
By: zen waters (Dec 20, 2011)
Karma Acres Bees are so much fun! I love having them as friends on FB. We enjoy all of the bees, Bonnet and doggie stories. Going to the Callahan Market is a real treat because we can buy honey made by the Karma bees as they make the best honey. We love to use in our own home and often keep some extra for gifts. We are most thankful for the Karma Acres Bees!

Karma Acres Honey
By: Pat Gionet (Nov 28, 2011)
Karma Acres is a small family farm north of Jacksonville, Florida, in Callahan, Florida, not far south of the Georgia line. They produce some of the most incredible honey you could ever imagine. It is a light golden color with a rich and robust flavor and is unbelievably perfect on biscuits, bread, in tea or coffee, or just for holding the jar up to the sunlight and looking through it.
This honey is perhaps mostly gallberry honey, which, in my opinion, is far superior to orange blossom honey in fragrance and lightness of palate. It is not strong like avocado honey can be, but perfectly balanced for taste and texture. I would choose this over any honey I have had, and I am a big fan of honey and trying different types everywhere I go. While Tupelo honey generally has the most fans, I would put a jar of this up to a jar of Tupelo any day.

FINDINGS: Certain differentiated cells in breast tissue can spontaneously convert to a stem-cell-like state, according to Whitehead Institute researchers. Until now, scientific dogma has stated that differentiation is a one-way path; once cells specialize, they cannot return to the flexible stem-cell state on their own. These findings hold true for normal mammary cells as well as for breast cancer cells.
RELEVANCE: These findings may redefine how researchers view cancer stem cells the cells capable of seeding new tumors at primary and distant sites in the body. Therapies that specifically target cancer stem cells are currently being investigated in the belief that eliminating cancer stem cells could prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis. However, if cancerous, more differentiated cells can switch between the differentiated and stem-cell states, the more differentiated cancer cells might provide an endless source of new cancer stem cells. In the longer term, the observed behavior may also hold promise for degenerative disease therapy by allowing the derivation of patient specific adult stem cells without genetically altering such cells.
Scientists identify a surprising new source of cancer stem cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (April 11, 2011) Whitehead Institute researchers have discovered that a differentiated cell type found in breast tissue can spontaneously convert to a stem-cell-like state, the first time such behavior has been observed in mammalian cells. These results refute scientific dogma, which states that differentiation is a one-way path; once cells specialize, they cannot return to the flexible stem-cell state on their own.
This surprising finding, published online this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), may have implications for the development of cancer therapeutics, particularly those aimed at eradicating cancer stem cells.

i changed my password, and now neither my old or new is working. i don't know if i typed it in wrong twice or what? but i can find it out cause i'm getting a 404 message on the "forgot your password" page
About the password strength... Mixture of Capitals and Lowercase along with numbers makes it strong... Doesn't have to be long. What are we just getting to the internet? No one knows how it works?
I have been unable to reset my paswrod, due to the changing procidure telling me my paswrod is invallid. I am in fact inputing the corect paswrod. I would love to actualy be able to change my pasword and continue playing. from, an agrovated summoner
Senior Member
While password strength is still a hot topic, I'd like to share a little piece of software called KeePass. Changed my electronic life, and it's completely free. I highly recommend everyone check it out.
Well i have a bit of a problem. When i try to change the password to my account it says it good then when i try to log in the new password doesnt work
I am glad Riot came forward with this information and, according to an email they sent me, are going to look into other forms of account verification. As much as I hated my damn Battlenet Authenticator, it worked. I'd like to see something similar available for summoners.
what the heck riot i cant change passwords at all plz help fix this
Also question, I'm not the smartest on security so maybe someone can explain, but if only the salted password hashes were stolen, why would that require a more complex password on my part? If you have the salted passwords and you assume that at least someone has the password "password" you would then try salt/hashing until you found the salt? Then you would guess common passwords + salt/hash to see if its the actual password etc. Couldn't you just lock the account til the next time I log in and use a different salt to save the password again? It would seem the only need for a more complex password would be if they were trying to brute force the login screen(which they weren't apparently), which obviously has an easy solution to limit the retries before an email or captcha requirement. Also, this wouldn't really require such an overly complex password either. Maybe I'm missing something but it would seem that something is not being told to us?

Bzdelik's $1.5 million job may be in jeopardy, all right. But if Denver doesn't improve on last year's encouraging 43-39 season and earn another trip to the playoffs, Vandeweghe may turn out to be the real fall guy -- despite the fact that a pre-season survey of NBA general managers found the Nuggets "the most fun team to watch."
Meanwhile, they must contend in the new Northwest Division with powerhouse Minnesota, 7-3 Utah and surprising young Seattle, which tops the charts at 9-2.
Back at Altitude -- yes, thanks to an eleventh-hour deal between Kroenke and Comcast, you can now watch the games on cable TV, with good-guy Bill Hanzlik, a reminder of some sorry Nuggets teams past, doing the commentary -- it looks like the Nuggets' season will make or break in the front court, unless Jason Kidd drops in from heaven or Boykins has a sudden growth spurt. The injuries are healing, the chemistry experiment is going better, and for the moment, Buzz has his boys in renewal mode. Bottom line: The Nuggets are a 5-5 team with a terrible road history and a swing through Washington, Toronto, New York, Philly, Boston, Miami and Orlando in the offing. If the Melo-Marts can get through that nightmare with their heads attached and their hearts still beating, go ahead and print up the playoff tickets.
Believe it: The shape of a season can be determined before Santa even scolds the elves.

Excel Macros Disabled Under W7
Last week, I received a new notebook with Win 7 professional as OS - New to me and I feel way behind time noting the posting dates on the forum. Then there is reference to W8
I have been developing a program in Excel since 1995, improving the macros and output worksheets as I go along. To protect important cells from accidental changes, I have protected all the work sheets. I have been using office 2010 on my previous XP-SP3 OS without a problem. Running Office 2010 in W7 OS, I encountered problems with macros. Unlike Access and Word - where I could select trusting the developer - that option is NOT available in Excel. The security message suggests that the macros are encrypted and need to be unprotected. However, that did not solve the problem as the same message is repeated. However, when I also remove protection from ALL the worksheets, there is some action. Running the compatibility utility, I receive a message referring to XP SP2. Anyone out there that can be of assistance? |

With pitchers and catchers just 10 or so days away and fantasy guides on newsstands and begging for purchase online, it occurred to me that most people haven't actually done their fantasy drafts yet. I'd bet quite a few haven't even done more than idly muse a bit about who they'd like to have.
1) Planning your overall strategy: Just like you do in any other draft you need to figure out the balance that you want for your team. That means knowing ahead of time approximately how many home runs, RBIs, runs, steals, saves and strikeouts are the minimal amounts you'll need to finish in the top three or four in those categories. You can make a good estimate of what those numbers might be by looking at past seasons and seeing what those numbers would have been Those "hard" numbers are the easy ones. It's much more difficult to manage the other categories for a number of reasons, especially when it comes to wins, which tend to be the least predictable of stats. In fact I tend to ignore wins when drafting pitchers, unless the pitchers are damn close to even in every other way. The other pitching categories are difficult only because of the variability of pitchers from year to year. That doesn't mean you shouldn't reach for them. After all planning for solid ERA or WHIP is wise, but unless you plan to build a staff of pitching studs and take the hit in your offense, you'll have to accept the fact that hundredths of a point in WHIP and tenths of a point in ERA aren't predictable. After all how much real difference is there between the 3.43 ERA of one season and the 3.29 ERA of another? Not a huge amount -- still great pitchers -- but few pitchers repeat their numbers exactly year after year. The same applies to hitters -- after all how much difference is there between a .292 hitter and a .302 one? But those tenths and hundredths of a point can make all the difference between winning a category and losing one.
2) Ranking your players/coming up with player projections: This is the toughest part of planning any draft and a whole industry is built around "knowing" or figuring out how to value players. Yet no matter whose guides or values, all you get for your money is a best guess. There is no foolproof system of picking players. Success depends a lot on research, paying close attention to player development, age, condition and even the ballparks and teams they play for. If you look at your own league, you can probably pick out which of your opponents spend the time doing research or hire the best research companies, to help them come up with player projections.
3) Matching dollar values to player projections. Obviously guys like Albert Pujols and Roy Halladay are going to command top dollar, but knowing what top dollar should be is key. In an ideal world you either want to buy your players at proper value, or at a discount, while making your opponents spend the maximum amount for players they want. But you can't make that happen if you don't go into your auction with a list of what is the maximum price you should pay for any given player. Lots of factors can influence those values -- number of players in your league (more players mean more dollars being spent in the auction), hometown players who'll command a premium because of where they play rather than their projections, people using bad, or just different projections (one guide may have a player valued at $24 while the other has him at $31), even your knowledge of your opponents and who their favorite players are, can factor into your decision-making process. Learning how to value players is hard, even the experts disagree as to what the best way to do it really is. And in truth it might well be that there is no universal right way to do that, but you don't need to know how to do it universally, just how to do it for your own league.
Going into your draft with a solid plan and having a prepared set of values which you plan to use gives you a leg up against less-prepared opponents. Of course, it only gives you a leg up. But in fantasy you want every advantage you can get and planning, re-planning and having a back up plan, and a back up to that back up only adds to the chances of you successfully finishing in the money.
Once you have that plan you can start thinking about just how you are going to execute it. But that's another article altogether.

Insider Trading Beats the Market Indices
By Meena Krishnamsetty
The insider trading anomaly has been one of the most profitable investment strategies in the past 50 years. In general, information is a valuable commodity. In this case, the insiders have a great deal of information, more than outsiders (journalists, bloggers, etc.) or stock analysts covering the company. But just having knowledge isn't what gives insiders their advantage.
The financial advantage comes from the prowess to derive valuation estimates based on that information. Sure, sometimes insiders make mistakes -- they make the wrong assumptions or they can't predict the effect of macro factors. But the probability that this happens and they come to the wrong conclusion is much smaller when more than one insider, acting independently, comes to the same conclusion -- buy, buy, buy.
In other words, consensus criteria reigns as king. When there is consensus among insiders (remember, who are acting independently), returns to insider trading are much higher.
Back in 1968, professors James H. Lorie and Victor Niederhoffer wrote one of the earliest academic papers on profitability of insider trading. It had a relatively proper methodology. Around the same time that economist Eugene Fama was preaching his efficient markets theory, Lorie and Niederhoffer showed that under intensive trading criteria (number of buyers is at least two more than the number of sellers or vice versa), insiders will outperform the market during the next six months. That's nothing to laugh at. The studies that followed had the same purpose of testing strong or semi-strong forms of efficient market hypothesis, each time employing an improved methodology. Wharton professor Jeffrey Jaffe's 1974 study didn't find abnormal returns from the zero investment portfolio that was long in companies with more insider purchases and short in companies with more insider sales in any given month. Reducing the sample to only large transactions (at least $20,000) also didn't change his conclusion. But when Jaffe used an intensive trading criteria - in which there needed to be at least three buyers from each company to be included in the long portfolio, and three sellers from each company to be included in the short portfolio -- he found abnormal returns of 5.07% in the first eight months following the transactions. When he included each company in the portfolio two months after the transaction, he still found abnormal returns of 4.84% in the first eight months.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

geographical name \ˌin-dē-ˈa-nə\Definition of INDIANA
Rhymes with INDIANA
geographical name (Concise Encyclopedia)State, midwestern U.S. Area: 36,418 sq mi (94,322 sq km). Pop. (2009 est.): 6,423,113. Capital: Indianapolis. Indiana is bordered by Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, and Illinois. The Wabash River and the Ohio River define its southwestern and southern borders, respectively; Lake Michigan lies to the northwest. Indiana was originally inhabited by Indians speaking Algonquian languages, including the Miami, Potawatomi, and Delaware peoples. The French explorer La Salle explored the region in 1679 and claimed it for France. It passed to Britain in 1763 and then to the U.S. in 1783, and it became a territory in 1800. In 1811 U.S. forces won a final victory over the Indians at the Battle of Tippecanoe. After it was admitted to the Union as the 19th state in 1816, its population began to grow. From 1850 its agriculture expanded, as did industrialization after the American Civil War. For much of the 20th century, steelmaking (see Gary) was important economically.

Angry Benitez blasts Chelsea fans, confirms exit
LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea interim manager Rafael Benitez's patience with the club's fans finally snapped on Wednesday as he confirmed his intention to leave the club at the end of the season.
Benitez has been targeted by sections of the club's support ever since he was appointed as the successor to Roberto Di Matteo last November.
Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 2-0 on Wednesday to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals and they are also in the last 16 of the Europa League, but they have slipped to fourth place in the Premier League.
Benitez was only appointed on a temporary basis but he confirmed in an angry press conference that the abuse he has received from some of Chelsea's fans had prompted him to abandon his ambition to coach the team on a permanent basis.

Walt Disney World Trivia Book is one of the better ones. I also like Inside Disney: The Incredible Story of Walt Disney World and the Man Behind the Mouse,
thanks....i didn't expect such fast replies
eBay is also a great place to look for the older books that are no longer in print.
Disney World Trivia by Lou Mangojello and Hidden Mickeys by Steve Berret are all you'll ever need.
I won a copy of Disney A-Z by answering all the questions in the "Ask Dave" column in the Disney magazine a few years ago. I love it.
They call me "Nana"
I honestly forget what the title of the book was, but I believe it was the first in the Dirk Pitt series by Clive Cussler. I can't get much more specific than this, since I only skimmed the novel to get to this part, but a foreign VIP of some sort was making a visit to the Magic Kingdom along with his entourage. A band of international scum with an assassination plan had holed up inside of Pirates of the Carribean, dressed for the part and hiding among the automatons. It was up to Dirk (our hero) to throw on a frilly shirt and three-cornered hat, grab a cutlass, and get in there to save the day; all the while making it look to the tourists to just be part of the show.
I'm just a little annoyed I didn't come up with this scenario on my own.
"The society that draws too great of a distinction between its scholars and its warriors will end up having its thinking done by cowards and its fighting done by fools." --probably Thucydides

One day this girl will grow up and realize that arguing over something so petty isn't worth her efforts. There are wars, famine, disease, and hunger spreading rampant around the world. Many folks who stand on their self-created pedestals in this country (and others) should take a step down and look at the wider world around them (including in the most underserved areas of our own country).
Maybe then we would see less self-centered and self-obsessed individuals in this world and more community-minded people spending their time and effort truly helping people overcome the evils in this world... instead of covering up a silly banner.

the tempView matrix you construct in the CreateViewProjection method is the world orientation matrix of the camera, but you need to convert the world space into view space. Therefor invert the camera matrix to get the view matrix. The final transformation should look like
final_position = Proj * inv(Camera) * Model * position
I think that the transpose is not necessary either (transpose is often used to invert the rotation matrix part of an orthogonal matrix, but you need to take care about the position and scaling too).

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers was delighted after watching his side fight back twice to beat Manchester City in New York.
City twice led in the match at Yankee Stadium but Jordan Henderson and Raheem Sterling both found the back of the net to take the International Champions Cup game to a penalty shoot-out. New signing Emre Can, Lucas Leiva and Henderson all scored from the spot as Liverpool won 3-1 on penalties and Rodgers was happy with his side's effort."It was a great game for us," Rodgers said. "Manchester City are a wonderful team and will go close in the Premier League again this year."We scored two goals and could have had three more. Joe Hart made three outstanding saves."What has been the trademark of this team over the past 18 months has been the character. We showed it again to keep going and get ourselves back in the game."

Article by Joe Sioufi: Have you noticed that everything in this world is pulling people apart and making them lose control? People go to doctors every day with nothing but fear in their heart. There is nothing wrong with them but fear.
These human beings are listening to the world, evolution and secular humanism and they are going no where. They call themselves God's children but none know the Word of God.
Before I go on with this deep subject, I would like to mention that you can see my 4' x 4' artwork @ the art exhibit "Religion is Poison" My acrylic painting's name is "No Cry, No Pain, Anymore!?"
Few other selected artists are exhibiting their paintings there as well. You do not want to miss that controversial art exhibit. Be prepared!
Where? @ James Artgallery - 2500 summer st. Houston TX unit 212 77007
When? Saturday, May 4, 2013 - 6:00pm until 9:00pm
You could live all your life believing that all fairy-tales are true because they are good stories and teach valuable lessons, but you need to face reality to grow.
Religion has been the best thing for starting wars, hating others, bringing out the differences in people, and killing them. It has not done much good except making the Houses of God rich and powerful.
True religion teaches you to treat others the way you want to be treated, to always be honest by not cheating, and to visit widows and orphans. Many religions are actually cults. Many will tell you how to live, who to talk to, who not to talk to, and basically who you should be.
Religion can be distracting at a certain point!
I am not against religion, but closed minded people.
All religions were made and written thousands of years ago and humanity has changed since. Life's evolution and technologies have changed. Our needs are still the same but in a different context. You can follow religion to a certain extent to be a better person, but ultimately you are your own judge. It is up to you to know if you are going to what we have heard of Heaven or Hell (if such exist).
If reincarnation exist, my question is if reincarnation is for those who had been good before on this earth or to punish those who had been bad?
Do you feel that sometimes being on earth is a kind of torture? Hell? Is being here some kind of punishment or lesson we failed to learn in a previous life or lives? Since we as humans are not stable, we seek out stability as a sense of security. We are constantly gravitating towards pleasure or that which makes us feel good. We are always looking to satisfy certain needs in order to feel stable.
The constant and continuous search to attain this state of mind and feelings of stability can be torturous to many people because it is temporary and fleeting.
I am not against God. I am not against religion. However, I want the peace of mind that has been stolen from us due to extreme religious beliefs.
Living in peace is the greatest religion.

Reality Check
An uncensored Myammee goes in on her fellow I Love Money 2 contestants.
You had plenty of problems with the girls on Flavor of Love 3. Do you bump heads just as much with the cast of I Love Money 2?
Of course I bumped heads with girls on this show. I bump heads with girls everywhere I go. It just happens to me for some reason.
Who was your least favorite cast member?
Definitely Saaphyri. She's about 45 or 50 and I feel like her time is up. When you're over the hill you should be enjoying your life, not living in the house with 20-year-olds like us!
On her bio she says she's 29.
She's a liar! She's not no 29. If you look at her on the show it looks like she aged even more. She's a wannabe New York with the long fake hair and the Snuffleupagus lashes. She just looks a mess and she looks even older when she smokes. She's like an old granny.
Do you think contestants with senior status like Saaphyri and Milf should give up the reality TV game?
I think if you have to go into retirement in 10 years you shouldn't be on reality TV. I mean Milf is like an old lady. She does have a nice body for her age, but other than that there's nothing there—just a shell.
I'm guessing you don't have any kind words for Buckwild.
Buckwild is just for TV. She does whatever she got to do to get some airtime. She has nothing else to offer but her mouth.
Is anyone buying her act?
She's a phony. I think she's just a regular white girl who needs some type of attention because she's ugly as hell. She got to do something so I guess she plays the black role.
How did Rock of Love's Tamara fit in with the Flavor of Love set?
Tamara's just like on her own planet. I don't know if she was on drugs when she first came to the house. She was twitching. I really think something is wrong with her.
What about the male contestants? Was there any hooking up going on in the house?
I had no interest in any of the guys in the cast. They were all cornballs!
You're still looking for love?
I wouldn't mind finding love, but right now I don't have none. I don't understand why pretty girls can't fall in love! We're like the number one single people in the world.
Do you think you're just going for the wrong type of guy?
I'm trying to transform from going for the thuggish type to going for the regular type, but I really don't know what type of guy I want. I just know he has to have swag, he can't be a dork.
Who has the swag you're looking for?
Swag like Method Man or a little bit of Plies.
I thought you want to get away from the thugs?
I know! I'm trying. You see what I'm saying? I'm trying to go from 100 percent thug to maybe 50 percent.
Half a thug? Sounds like Midget Mac's the answer to your prayers.–Ryan Murphy
I Love Money 2 debuts Monday, February 2 at 9PM on VH1.

I agree with you that a "gun should be outfitted for the task at hand," however, my first post was in response to your opening generic statement that scopes are worthless on "battle" rifles.
I'm not going to assume the purpose of which the thread starter is going to use his rifle; however you are probably right about not going to use his rifle for hunting...and I agree that a magnified optic would not be the best in a home defense situation that most private citizens would find themselves in. Irons (with perhaps a tritium front), followed with an EOTECH or possibly Aimpoint would work best. They would also work best in most LE situations, but then again my agency doesn't issue ARs and I'm not in the habit of engaging armed offenders at extended distances.

I work in a restaurant, and this is my favorite salad! Wanted to put it in here for others to try and love as much as I do. There is a decent amount of prep work involved, but it seriously creates so much salad! I like to toast up some multigrain flatbread, layer some hummus, some of the rice nut salad, and sprinkle some feta cheese on top if I have it. Super delicious, super filing, and so good for you! Makes six large servings, if using with hummus and/or flatbread. By itself, maybe 4 large servings, about 332 calories each (mostly from the walnuts too).

By LARRY VAUGHT
Kentucky senior defensive end Bud Dupree goes into the season not only as one of the SEC's best defensive linemen, but also as a key to reviving UK's program and securing a lofty NFL draft position for himself.
"That is the kind of thing everyone grows up hoping for. I just got to keep grinding every day not to get the big head and let people get to me. I am going to keep grinding and kick in and I am going to bring my teammates with me. It doesn't really matter what people say, I am going to make sure my team is there and in best position it can be," Dupree said.
"I am thinking about a winning season. The NFL will come. Once my team gets better, I will get better in the NFL draft. So I am just looking at it as a win-win situation because once my team wins, people will see I am not all about myself but about my team as well and other teams will really want me. I am not always really worried about how I improve. I am just trying to bring other people with me as much as I improve."
His brother, Travis Carswell, said he thinks an offseason mission trip to Africa that Dupree took with UK teammates and other athletics personnel helped his focus on this year.
"I think that mission trip going to Africa and seeing how things were there helped him. He has put everything in perspective. He is on track to graduate in December. That is a big goal. That is something I have always preached to him to focus on school and the NFL will come. He is putting everything in order," Carswell said.
"I think this year will be his breakout season. He doesn't like to be compared to anybody and wants to set his own standards at Kentucky. I look forward to this season. The only thing I hate is that I coach and we play on Saturday as well. I hope we have open game so I can watch. But I keep up with him. After every game he will call and tell me how everything went and we hope a lot goes well for him and the team this year."

Calif. man stabs self, chokes and bites police K-9
Frank Garcia, believed to be high on drugs, was punching car windows then stabbed himself 3 times before attacking the K-9
By Lisa Fernandez and George Kiriyama
NBC Bay Area
SAN JOSE, Calif. — Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Kurtis Stenderup said they took Frank Garcia, 34, into custody on charges of resisting arrest, brandishing weapon, felony vandalism, being under the influence of a controlled substance and injuring a police dog - all from a bizarre incident on Monday near San Jose.
Garcia, armed with what deputies are saying was a knife, slashed a tire and smashed several car windows prompting more deputies to be called out for help. The deputies then released "Ski," which Garcia allegedly choked, punched and bit. Deputies were at that point able to tackle and subdue him.
"Ski," the German Shepherd, suffered some scraped paws but is expected to be OK and return to work soon.

The shoulders carry much of the body's tension, as well as the body's finite supply of shrugs. Let go with this Groupon.
Choose Between Two Options
- $39 for a massage package consisting of a 30-minute deep-tissue/myofascial massage and a 30-minute reflexology treatment with aromatherapy and cupping (a $92.50 value)
- $115 for three massage packages (a $277.50 value)
Reflexology is the application of pressure to specific points on the hands, feet, face, and ears to help improve one's physical well-being. Deep-tissue massage and myofascial release aim to loosen painful knots and increase range of motion. During cupping treatments, a massage therapist uses firm yet soothing suction and a rubber cup on the skin to detoxify muscles.
Massage of Trinity, MM25718
Massage of Trinity and Lotus Yoga
The licensed massage therapists at Massage of Trinity know that standard massages—Swedish, deep tissue, and hot stone—only provide muscles with a slice of what massage has to offer. That's why the team expands its menu of massage-therapy services to include unique treatments such as four-hand massage, Thai massage, and organic spa reflexology. During a four-hand massage, which has origins in the ancient Ayurvedic philosophy, two therapists work in unison to invent complex handshakes and induce a level of relaxation that cannot be achieved with only two hands. Thai massage incorporates deep stretching and rhythmic kneads while the client lies on a floor mat. Organic spa reflexology utilizes localized pressure on strategic points and integrates the application of raw, organic fruits and vegetables that nurture the skin.
For complexions, the spa's facial specialist provides targeted treatments that provide anti-aging and skin-purifying benefits. Each spa facial blends the best of multiple treatments, incorporating the blemish-fighting power of clarifying acne sessions, the rejuvenating effects of a Healthy Aging facial, and water from the Fountain of Youth. Layers of dead skin cells are removed, and a nutrient-packed mask infuses skin with vitamins A, C, and E.
To help clients achieve total-body wellness, Lotus Yoga brings fitness classes to Massage of Trinity. Instructors help pupils of all ages build strength and flexibility with tai chi and yoga classes and tone their bodies with core ballet.

Freemasons For Dummies: Dan Brown Knows the Door Is Open for Masonic Membe...
Freemasons For Dummies: Dan Brown Knows the Door Is Open for Masonic Membe...: Dan Brown was speaking tonight about Freemasonry at the United Grand Lodge of England's Freemason's Hall in London, and revealed that Masons had left the door open for him to join.
From the Independent in the UK:
From the Independent in the UK:
His best-selling novels illuminate the shadowy organisations that supposedly run the world. But Dan Brown was "honoured" to receive an invitation to join the Freemasons, the arcane fraternity whose tentacles are said to extend into the highest echelons of power. Tonight the Da Vinci Code author made a rare public appearance, discussing his latest Dante-inspired blockbuster, Inferno, in front of 1,500 fans in London. The choice of venue, Freemason's Hall, the headquarters of the United Grand Lodge of England, reflects the author's fascination with the male-dominated medieval society, founded in London, which has long been the centre of conspiracy theories about its supposed global influence.
"I would be honoured to be a Mason," Brown told the Independent before the event. "You don't get 'invited' by the Masons but they sent a clear message that the door is open if I ever want to join." Brown's 2009 novel The Lost Symbol suggested that the government in Washington was secretly run by a coven of Freemasons practising sinister rites. However Brown said: "I've nothing but admiration for an organisation that essentially brings people of different religions together, which is what they do." "Rather than saying 'we need to name God', they use symbols such that everybody can stand together." Everybody except women, who are refused entry. "I guess it's a little oxymoronic," said Brown. "But there are certainly women's organisations and I think there's a place for men to be together alone."
Brown portrayed Opus Dei as a sinister Catholic cult in the Da Vinci Code. Inferno introduces The Consortium, a secretive organisation pulling strings behind the scenes which the book claims is an amalgamation of real groups. Yet Brown sees the Masons as an entirely benign fraternity.
"Freemasonry is not a religion but it is a venue for spiritual people to come together across the boundaries of their specific religions," he said. "It levels the playing field." The author's only hesitation before undertaking the notorious Masonic initiation ritual is that he would have to take a "vow of secrecy" and would be unable to utilise his masonic insights in future novels.

Turn The Other Cheek Freemasons
A Brother E-Mailed me a response to Greg Stewart's article on the Mercedes-Benz Super Bowl Ad which I had sent him.
"So we go online and speak out against this atrocity and in doing so we link ourselves to the myth. How many years had masonry survived with this type of public outcry? Unless we begin to teach masons to live the lives taught by our fraternity and stop trying to be a social icon, Masonry will continue to be ridiculed. It is only when you can show that the myth is in fact a myth and that we prove it every day by the way we live our lives, that Freemasonry will regain it honored reputation. The more we bend to clamor in public, the more the critics come after us. If we disregarded the critics they have no one to argue with, thus the argument dies for want of a debate. Sadly you and others do not understand this. But I urge you to really reflect on it. A well spent life is mightier than the sword or any media response."
I guess I just don't get it. At least he thinks I just don't get it. But I would say that he doesn't get it.
This is the attitude of Freemasons of 50 and 100 years ago – never talk about the fraternity, never mention to anyone that you are even a Freemason. Everything about Freemasonry is secret. Not one word about the Craft should escape a Mason's lips.
This is one of the reasons Freemasonry missed many good candidates back then. A guy 50 years old would finally say to his buddy, "I have been waiting 20 years for you to invite me to join Freemasonry. How come you never asked me?"
Old time Masons never asked another to join. Those who desired to join Freemasonry had to ask a Mason. Some Masons would demand that they ask three times before they would consider recommending them.
Anti Masons that spread lies about Freemasonry are not to be answered. Leo Taxil's Masonic hoax, even after he recanted and admitted he made the whole thing up, was still believed by many people because Freemasons never would refute it.
"Turn The Other Cheek Freemasons" do not believe that disputing or refuting lies about the Craft are a productive use of Masonic resources. They do not believe that Masons should stoop to the level of their detractors. Masons are above all that, they say. What Masons need to do is lead by example and all these crazy charges will just die the death of untruth all by themselves.
And problems within the Fraternity, well we don't talk about them either. The refusal of some Masons to allow African Americans in their Lodges, their constant black balling of any applicant who isn't Christian, Grand Masters expelling Master Masons without a Masonic Trial, Grand Masters closing Lodges and pulling charters without reason or recourse, are all problems that Brethren must solve without discussing these problems in public. "Airing dirty laundry" is definitely a no-no with "Turn The Other Cheek Freemasons."
And if these problems emanate from other jurisdictions, well sticking one's Masonic nose into other people's business is a double no-no. That's their business, that's their problem.
And so stand "The Turn The Other Cheek Freemasons." Withdraw from society, have nothing to do with it, let people do what they may but Freemasonry will live on, no matter what.
But it won't. The younger generation will never join an organization that refuses admittance to non Whites and non Christians. It just ain't going to happen. And who would join an organization that is in league with the Devil? And someday soon Malecraft Freemasonry will have to change its policy on women. The fact is Mainstream Masonry is dying a slow, agonizing death.
THE MERCEDES-BENZ HOAX IS A 21st CENTURY REMAKE OF THE LEO TAXIL HOAX.
Freemasonry was never designed to be a Monastic Brotherhood or a Cloistered Sect. Paul Revere is rolling over in his grave right about now. So isJoseph Warren who died at the battle of Bunker Hill fighting for liberty in America. As a Grand Master he used Freemasons to transmit anti British communications among the Patriots.
Not answering your critics is naïve and very detrimental to your cause. The big lie repeated over and over again without refutation will gradually stick. No one knew this better than Goebbels, Hitler's Propagandist Minister.
"If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State."- Goebbels
The fact is turning the other cheek doesn't work. This is the real world where the truth doesn't always become self evident. Sometimes we must help the truth be known. Failure to do so only empowers our enemies. And the big lie is believed because it must be true if no one will stand up for the truth and dispute it. People interpret silence as acceptance of guilt. If you were unjustly charged with sexually molesting a child, would you remain silent in hopes the truth will win out or would you deny the charges and do everything you could to refute them?
"Turn The Other Cheek Freemasons" are hurting this beloved fraternity and are hastening the demise of the Craft.

The Shop Talk panelists discuss how Twitter is changing the way news is gathered and disseminated.
The panelists debate whether journalists should be concerned about news makers using social media to circumvent reporters.
The starting point for the discussion is a New York Times piece by David Carr, who wrote about Rupert Murdoch's use of Twitter. Murdoch has only recently started tweeting and has used the platform to sound off on a wide variety of topics.
Some journalists fear news makers will use social media to eliminate the middleman - ie, reporters - and simply distribute their thoughts and information directly to the audience.
