The nearest milestones are update of log4mongo-net dependencies, most up-to-date NuGet support and better customization and control over logged document structure.
I'm wishing all the best to Marco in his new role and looking forward for exciting improvements in log4mongo-net project !
2011-12-13 log4mongo-python 1.1 beta released
Lately, too many people have been asking, how to extend/modify log4mongo-python (mongo handler for python logging) handler to log custom or contextual information. Do they need to extend the formatter class or somehow modify the handler itself ? As of this release, these questions are no longer relevant. New version 1.1 now contains full support for logging contextual information. You can decorate logging event with additional contextual information very easily. For more information how to do it visit log4mongo pypi or github page.

2010-11-06 log4mongo-java 0.6.0 Released
- Added support for replica sets
- The hostname property now takes a blank space delimited list of hostnames. You should include all hosts that can become master, i.e., not passive or an arbiter.
- The port property can either be a single port number for each host or a blank space delimited list of ports, one for each of the hosts in the hostname property.
- Appender no longer attempts to insert documents if initialization failed. This was preventing servlets from initializing.
- Maven pom.xml now generates source jar and Javadocs (mvn javadoc:javadoc).

RYE — Lions, tigers and bears … and now mastodons???
Still hard to believe? Then visit Ellen Goethel at the newly opened Oceanarium at Hampton Beach. Her husband David is a commercial fisherman and also has found a number of fossils in his nets over the years. Perhaps the most impressive being a fossilized whales rib bone around 5 feet long belonging to a whale from eons ago, not like the kinds of whales we know today. Scientists from the Harvard University Museum of Comparative Zoology couldn't identify the exact type of whale, but confirmed that it is indeed not a "modern whale." What makes this find so intriguing is a series of "bite marks" in the bone along its length believed to be inflicted by a large land animal. This lends credence to the theory that the shoreline was once six to eight miles further out, and whales washing up on shore would have been a welcome treat to a large hungry creature out for a stroll on the beach.
If more convincing is needed, have a talk with Tom Testaverde, Captain of the fishing vessel "Midnight Sun" out of Gloucester harbor. Fishing off Cape Cod several years ago, he netted a set of walrus tusks. Experts believe the find to be from an "ancient" walrus; found in water depths likely to be where the coast line was 12,000 years ago. Testaverde, a fisherman for almost 50 years, is the fourth son of a career fisherman originally from Sicily and tells of many objects found on the ocean floor. "Several years ago, we dragged up a pocketbook lost almost 10 year previously from a whale watching boat. An I.D. found inside allowed us to track down the owner somewhere in the Midwest. The lady was really happy to have her mother's ring returned," explains Testaverde.

Comedian Freddy Stebbins Loves Miami, Has One-Man Show to Prove It
The scene opens backstage at a red-curtain theater in Miami. Cast and crew scurry about prepping for the big show. A bubbly starlet babbles to a nervous Pakistani academic. A Cuban exile laments about Havana to a swagged-out YOLO bro. A European art snob throws shade at a closeted Southern preacher while an elderly Jewish man wanders into the wrong dressing room and blames it on the occupant; a mystical fortune teller busy feathering her hair, boa, and whimsy. A sweaty production assistant bursts into the room to wrangle these diverse divas--
That's what I see when I picture the mind of Freddy Stebbins.
See also: Is Steve-O Really Sober and Celibate? Jackass Star Brings Stand-Up to Improv Miami
Stebbins is Miami's most creative stand-up comedian. He splashes onto shows like a comedic cannonball. You may have seen him perform and not even known it. He is a character comic, a rare specialization that means what you'd guess. Sometimes he weaves the characters into his set, but often he performs in full costume - clothing, hair, makeup, props - in an era where most stand-up comics can't be bothered for a monthly hoodie wash.
Stebbins has been one of Miami's most influential comics for over a decade, hosting weekly open mics and headlining shows. His lightning wit and imagination were honed at The Groundlings improv school. Stebbins' characters are so lucid, they do crowdwork better than most comics. Now, he finally packaged his act into the one-man show it was meant to become. Saturday, May 3rd, he brings us Miami... Don't Feed the Natives!
"The word native is misused in Florida," Stebbins said as we ate salmon toasts in a Wynwood cafe. "Almost no one in Miami over the age of 50 can say they were born here. Real natives are the people that have lived and grown-up here and are part of the unique oddity of strange and interesting people."
"Growing up in Miami, I realized that what I thought was normal was not normal everywhere else," he said. "When I was a kid, we didn't get snow days. When I was 11, we were off for three days because of riots. I grew up in this weird diaspora called 'Miami in the 1980s' that was hispanic, but also black, but also very white, and there's racism and tension and comedy. Violence on TV and hot weather and hurricanes. You start to think that's normal - until you go somewhere else, and it's boring!"
Stebbins surprises himself with a laugh and gets animated.
"Go somewhere else, and everyone looks the same, speaks english, is very friendly. We would call those people Americans. Oh my god. I was in Atlanta. There were so many Americans!"

On Saturday 26th May, 1990 Cambridge United won the first ever Play-Off Final at Wembley Stadium to earn promotion to the old Division Three (now Division Two). It was a tremendous afternoon in the sunshine at the historic stadium and if you have any special or funny memories for inclusion on this page write and let me know.
Here are the thoughts that have been sent so far, including a 'behind the scenes' view of the build-up and the day itself from Steve Greenall - who became the Club Secretary soon afterwards.
Andy Ivy of South London wrote: Memories of Wembley begin at Maidstone when I was working at Capital Radio and blagged a press ticket. Steve Greenall was working as a radio reporter. I think he and Malcolm Webster were commentating, though they must have been drowned out when the penalty went in and my friend Alan was going bananas shouting 'We're going to Wembley, we're going to Wembley!' Afterwards, I was out on the dry, dusty pitch when John Beck brought the players back out, most in their socks or bare feet, to celebrate with the fans. Somehow that warm night was better than Wembley. We went to the bar and missed the last train back to London so had to get a cab, but we didn't care. As for Wembley, I was supposed to be going on a holiday to France, arranged several months earlier, with my wife and some friends that morning. The U's first ever appearance at the twin towers or a ferry crossing? No contest. I booked a separate ferry crossing for midnight and the others went off as planned. I couldn't toast our victory, because I had to drive through the night, but it was all worthwhile! |
Vicky Henderson recalled: My funny moment whilst at the playoffs was watching a group of 8 - 10 rather excited males do a domino trip falling back off their chairs whilst cheering for Dion. The first one lost his balance whilst standing on the chair and grabbed hold of the arm of the person next to him. This continued down the line. I know you shouldn't laugh but it was quite comical to watch. However, the whole day was also memorable. |
Phil Mills wrote: My mate "Locky" Lockwood fell off the perimeter wall at Wembley after the full time whistle blew and was off work for three weeks with a bad back. |
Club secretary Steve Greenall was still working for Homepride Foods at the time of the Play-off final, but was involved with the club on radio and ClubCall. This is his account of the build-up to the big game: Monday 21st May Got to pick the hire van up today. Mum rang last night, and the new three piece suite is in stock. They want to deliver on Tuesday. Whose bloody idea was it to buy a three piece suite from a shop in St.Helens? OK we'd been looking for about five months and we did BOTH like it, but we don't live there any more. We only went into town on an errand that day in March. Anyway it's too late now, it's ordered and on its way. That press agency haven't rung yet to say if they want any after match stuff from Wembley. Wembley. Only a few days to go. I can't believe that Reg Smart wants me to go to the team's hotel on the morning of the game to do some ClubCall interviews. I'm not passing on that one. Before I drive up to Mum's, I'll confirm with the club that I can go and do the squad interviews with John Beck on Wednesday. They'll be going to Burnham Beeches on Thursday morning.......
Later ..... Ailsa wasn't best pleased when I told her Jethro Tull were playing Liverpool Empire on a Monday night, but she knew I'd be there. It was either there, Edinburgh Playhouse (too far) or London (too dear). Anyway, I've managed to tie all three events together; go to the gig - collect the three piece suite - go to Rotherham for the budget challenge meeting. First time I've been on company business in a non-Homepride vehicle. Can't wait to see that security guy's face when I pull up in a white transit with a settee and two chairs in the back.
Tuesday 22nd Can't wait to get back home really. The suite will look great now that the new carpet is down too. One day, some kid will arrive in our house, and the money belt will get cranked up a few notches. It's nice to be able to buy things for the house, and have them paid for in just a few months. Must work on those questions for 'Becky' in lunch break. Message at security desk. Ring your wife. I cadge a phone while that bloody security guy looks in the van. Great, the agency want an after match report. Tight thirty seconds. Out on "Steve Greenall - for RadioRadio - at Wembley Stadium". Better write that down. It is Richard Branson's station, and he may be listening.

The bus driver powers up the engine. I can't believe what Steve Claridge just said. He's been told he's on the bench and wants to drive to Wembley under his own steam. He's a strange lad. I've built up a decent relationship with some of the players since I started doing ClubCall, and the ones who know me call me Steve. He calls me 'Mr. Greenall'. Still, he can play a bit, so why should I worry.
As I get on the coach, I only know some of the players, the manager....... oh, and Gary Johnson. I'm introduced to John Holmes. I've seen him around many times. He helps with the Junior U's and commentates on the videos. I had heard they've offered him a job as commercial manager. Why would anyone want to work at a football club? As we get nearer to Wembley, I've already used one and a half side of a C-60. I've got some great interviews. Some of the time, I just left the tape running. We're getting near to the stadium now. Blimey, they're going to let the coach drive up Wembley way - normally closed to traffic. As we get closer, the sight of black and amber gets more vivid. There are thousands here. I can't see any Chesterfield. Old, young, die-hards, never been to a game before. They're all here. It is clearly quite fraudulent for a working class lad from a rugby league town to be travelling on the team bus down Wembley way, when there are fans who have supported this team since the Southern league days watching the bus go by. Just before we go through the huge gate by the dressing rooms the bus pauses, the fans roar, and there's my dad. I know what he is thinking......"I wish I was on that bus". It's time for work. I meet Malcolm and we go up in the lift to the press gantry. It's opposite the Royal Box and very high up. It will be like watching Subbuteo. |
"..........77 minutes gone. It's still Cambridge United nil Chesterfield nil, and Cambridge United have a corner, to be taken by Chris Leadbitter. Left-footed. Into the heart of the box. Up goes Dublin. A goal. I don't believe it! Dion Dublin, whose goal at Maidstone helped take Cambridge to Wembley....opens the scoring at Wembley..... and Cambridge United are just minutes from Division Three ........!"
Little point writing about the rest of the game. Full time. Never have so many copies of Yellow Pages been deposited in one place at one time. The Club are promoted. Final report for CNFM done, it's just the interviews and the RadioRadio piece to do. I get back in the lift, and it gets stuck 2 feet from the bottom. I can't get out. 25 minutes later, I am finally rescued.
Reg Smart is interviewed. Crying. Happy. This is the radio stuff of legends at the venue of legends. We troop home surrounded by cars with black and amber scarves. Somewhere, on a team bus bound for the Abbey ward district of Cambridge, the whisper is 'that lad who does ClubCall, do you think he'd fancy being the new secretary ???????' |
Sarah Mansfield wrote We had booked a holiday in York so half the way through we travelled down to Wembley passing lots of Chesterfield fans and with our amber flags waving we recieved many strange looks. We arived at Wembley in plenty of time and watched our heros play until about the 73 min when my sister needed the toilet so several members of the family took her and whilst sitting on the loo there was an almighty cheer, we had scored and she had missed it. So now if we are needing a little bit of luck we send her off to the toilet. But till this day it still has never worked again. Maybe this year she can work her magic again. |
Richard George wrote I remember driving down the A1. EVERY car we saw was decked out in Black & Amber - it was a sight to see. All the passengers in every car we passed were waving to each other. But my abiding memory was of an incident AFTER the match - A friend had driven us down to the game... the car park was empty and the reporter on the radio - we were listening to Radio Cambridgeshire - made the statement that "some of the supporters were so happy that (and can't believe what has just happened) that they are still here". - We all had a good laugh at that point, 'cos the reason we were still there was that the car wouldn't start and we were waiting for the AA to arrive!! |
Josh Holly wrote Dion tried to take my scarf off me moments before this photo of him and the cup was taken. However, I yanked it back cos its my lucky one and I didn't want to lose it. |

Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2011
December 15, 2011
Thomas H. Handy, the legendary proprietor of The Sazerac Hotel in New Orleans and founder of the modern Sazerac Company, lends his name to one of the annual Buffalo Trace Antique Collection releases. Fittingly, his name appears on an explosive cask-strength rendering of rye, the ingredient that made his Sazerac Cocktail famous.
Every year Buffalo Trace (a subsidiary of the Sazerac Company) releases the much sought-after Antique Collection. Second only to Pappy Van Winkle (another Sazerac holding) in consumer frenzy, these releases bring collectors and whiskey geeks out of the woodwork to snap up limited-allocation bottles from local retailers. I was lucky enough to secure a bottle of the 2011 release of Thomas H. Handy straight rye. This was my first-ever BTAC purchase, and also my first cask-strength rye, at a heady 63.45% (almost 127 proof).
After feeling pretty good about myself for snatching one of the coveted bottles, I reflected on the phenomenon of limited-allocation whiskey. As with Pappy Van Winkle, your geographic location has much to do with your ability to acquire the stuff. In the midwest and northeast US, I've heard tales of BTAC bottles and even Pappy getting dusty on shelves. Here in Northern CA it generally sells out within hours (if not minutes) and many retailers maintain waiting lists with thousands of names or resort to raffles and lotteries to dispense tiny allocations (sometimes 2-6 bottles per store).
Normally I don't mention the color (whisky pretty much looks like whisky), but this has a particularly beautiful dense auburn color.
Nose: Unabashedly rye. Pungent – almost smokey – with heavy spice (nutmeg and cinnamon red-hots), cherrywood and cardamom. Underneath there is a layer of deep vanilla. After a rest in the glass, there is an unctuous wave of sweet milky coconut wrapped in milk chocolate or caramel. Take some time with the nose on this one – the aromas go deep. A few drops of water draw out the coconut and smooth some of the wilder edges.
Palate: Full bodied. Intense burn, as expected, which leaves behind mountains of flavor: sticky cherry pie filling, fiery cinnamon, sour raspberry jam and sweet toffee. A few drops of water tames the burn, but also inhibits some of the bigger flavors. A nice hard-candy note emerges with the water.
Finish: Long, and leaves the mouth a bit raw due to the high ABV, but there are some nice fading hints of caramel apple, bitter almond, and big resiny oak. On the tail end, a suggestion of grassy raw rye grains.
Overall: A cinnamon bomb that never lets up. The nose is suggestive and deep, but it's the palate that explodes with fruit and spice. Truly eyebrow-raising, this shows what quality can do to elevate the standard flavors of straight rye. Try drinking this *with* a glass of water before you try adding any.
6 Responses to Thomas H. Handy Sazerac Rye 2011
if you get a chance, try the others in the BTAC – gts, wlw and sazerac 18. they are difficult to find but worth it (although the feeding frenzy is making it less so). i think your opinion of american whiskey vs. scotch may change quite a bit.
Oddly, the Thomas Handy rye seems to be the only one that doesn't fly off the shelves. I'm not sure if it's just that people don't know enough about it or that paying $75 for a 6 year old whiskey doesn't feel right, but that was the only part of the BTAC you could still find in Oregon a month after they hit the shelves. All the more for me, though.
I believe it's because it's rye and not bourbon. And it is like drinking cinnamon hots! Compared to Sazerac 18 which is very easy drinking for a rye, Thomas Handy is a mechanical bull on its highest setting.

Adirondacks Summer Lake House
Finding themselves back where they belong, Lee Woodruff's family carries on the traditions of summers past.
By Lee Woodruff
On the Lake
As the fifth generation to come to Lake George, N.Y., we are one of those families lucky enough to return to the same place, year after year. Our 130-year-old wooden farmhouse was first owned by my grandparents, and each summer my two sisters and I would stay for a week or two until my father built our own house next door.
Jim Franco
Woodruff Sisters
While growing up, my sisters Nancy and Megan and I had some great times in Dad's old wooden Lyman. It still doesn't take much to twist his arm for an after-dinner ride.
Jim Franco
Whiffle Ball Games
Outdoor games are nonstop in the summer
Jim Franco
The Woodruff Home
Silver Bay was a place my great-grandparents visited each summer at the turn of the century after a long journey, first by train and then steamship from New York City. My grandparents met and fell in love in this tiny town on northern Lake George. My mother confided in me that I was conceived here. And my husband, Bob, and I were married in the small stone chapel, where our children were later baptized. When my grandmother died, the house was sold out of the family, but Bob and I had a chance to buy it in 1999. We scraped together every cent we could to bring this treasure back into the family and create for our own children what had been given to my sisters and me. As often as we can, we continue to gather here to forge new memories for generations to come.
Jim Franco
Making Memories
Summer is the territory of many "firsts"—the first swim across the bay, the first kiss in a boathouse, the first time I sailed alone. I want our childrens' summers to imprint their own treasured memories—the shimmer of the moon on the lake, the swoosh of a paddle in the water, the swooping sound of a mosquito-eating bat.
Jim Franco
At the Dock
During the summer, our life here in the Adirondacks revolves around the water, from sailing and wake boarding to my own daily, slow crawl across the bay to the point. Our son, Mack, 15, can usually be found on a boat, while our six-year-old twins, Nora and Claire, love the beach. It's a gift to watch 12-year-old Cathryn on the raft with her cousins. If I squint hard enough, I can see my sisters and myself in childhood, practicing a perfect dive, sharing secrets after camp, and warming our stomachs on the sun-drenched boards.
Jim Franco
Family Garden
With love and care, our communal garden keeps producing throughout the summer. And beside the fact that it's planted at sister Nan's house, one rule continues to hold true—if you want to pick, you have to weed.
Jim Franco
Taking a Ride
Transportation includes a golf cart at the family's home.
Jim Franco
Campfire Ghost Stories
My grandfather began the twilight ghost-story ritual in our house's back shed, but we've moved it to a campfire on the beach with extra Hershey bars for s'mores and a nightly hunt for shooting stars.
Jim Franco
Playing in the Water
This home is the backdrop to simplify life, slow us all down, and teach our children about stewardship and the traditions that define our family.
Jim Franco
Homemade Jam
All year I look forward to picking berries—raspberries are my favorite—and the kids and I make jam on summer nights. Friends know to expect a jar at holiday time.
Jim Franco
Family Meals Alfresco
Family meals rotate among the sisters' houses, but they always include a retelling of the day's events, and lots of laughter. As the family has grown, we've had to buy bigger tables.

Gopal Ganesh Agarkar
Gopal Ganesh Agarkar | |
Gopal Ganesh Agarkar
Born | Tembhu, Dist. Satara, Maharashtra, India |
14 July 1856
Died | 17 June 1895 [Pune], India |
(aged 38)
Organization | Deccan Education Society |
Gopal Ganesh Agarkar (14 July 1856 – 17 June 1895) was a Chitpavan Brahmin social reformer, educationist, thinker from Maharashtra, India during the British rule. A close associate of Lokamanya Tilak, he was a co-founder of the renowned educational institutes like the New English School, the Deccan Education Society and Fergusson College along with Lokamanya Tilak, Vishnushastri Chiplunkar and others. He was the first editor of the weekly Kesari and founder and editor of periodical Sudhaarak. He was the second Principal of Fergusson College and served that post from August-1892 till his last breath.
Throughout his short life of just about 39 years, he exemplified impeccably high moral character, utter determination to attain one's goals, sacrifice, great courage and a total lack of greediness. He is considered as a model for any one who wants to be in public service with unflinching devotion to his/her principles and a complete dedication to the work undertaken.
In his public life of just about 15 years, Agarkar made gigantic contributions to the field of social reforms and education and left an indellible mark on the social life of Maharashtra.1
Early life
Gopal Ganesh Agarkar was born in a koknastha Brahman family 2 on 14 July 1856 in Tembhu, a Thembu village in Satara district now in Sangli district of Maharashtra.he was friend of nilkant tidke 3 Agarkar had his primary education from Karad (till 3rd Standard, English medium). After doing some clerical work in a court at Karad, he went to Ratnagiri but could not get education there. In 1878, he got his B. A. degree followed by later M. A. in 1880.
Achievements and philosophy
Agarkar was a founding member of the Deccan Education Society in 1884, a pioneering educational institution of the Deccan.citation needed He also founded new English school 1880 in Pune, Maharashtra and famous Fergusson college during last years of his life in 1885.citation needed
He was the first editor of Kesari, a prominent Marathi weekly in those days which was started by Lokmanya Tilak in 1880-81. He subsequently left Kesari out of ideological differences with Tilak concerning the primacy of political reform versus social reform; with Agarkar believing that the need for social reform was more immediate. He started his own periodical Sudharak in which he campaigned against the injustices of untouchability and the caste system. Agarkar abhorred blind adherence to and glorification of tradition and the past. He supported widow re-marriage. Though Agarkar championed social reforms he let his wife observe all the old traditions of Hindu faith and never once came in her way.4
Tilak and Agarkar were contemporaries but with contrasting personalities although both came from families with similar social backgrounds. By nature Tilak tended toward extreme views while Agarkar tended toward the moderate. In Marathi they would say Jahal Tilak ani Maval Agarkar.citation needed Tilak hailed from a financially well-off family, while Agarkar was born in indigence. His financial condition was so bad that he used to study in the light of streetlamps during his college days, owned a single shirt, and never would ride a train or car for traveling. Ideological confilicts eventually led to a parting of these two social reformers. Agarkar expired unexpectedly on 17 June 1895.3
Agarkar writes in his biography in the"futke nashib" that he was the only social worker who witnessed his own funeral, He has also written a book 'Alankar Mimmansa' (अलंकार मीमांसा). In 1892 after death of Fergusson college principal Aapte sir, Agarkar took over as the principal.citation needed
He died at an early age of 39 in the year 1895 . His death was attributed to asthma.citation needed

by Foundation of Light
JCT600 back Foundation Fashion evening.
Its full speed ahead for the Foundation of Light's Fashion Strikes event, as a stunning new sponsor comes on board.Leading motor group, JCT600, is putting its driving force behind the fashion show and fundraising dinner, which is being held at the Stadium of Light on Monday, November 25.
The family-run firm, originally established in 1946, is one of the largest privately owned independent motor groups in the UK, with 21 franchises and 50 dealerships across the North of England.
And, thanks to the team at the Porsche dealership in Newcastle, visitors to the Fashion Strikes event will have the chance to get up-close and personal with a selection of the world's most luxurious cars, parked in a mini showroom outside the Stadium of Light.
One lucky guest will also receive an early Christmas present, as the firm has donated a children's Porsche go-kart to giveaway in a raffle on the night.
Scott Stevenson from Porsche Newcastle, said: "We work a lot with charities across the North East and wider UK and in recent months have tried everything from skydiving to baking in an effort to raise funds.
"As a football coach myself I understand the importance of reaching young people through sport and the challenges that accompany that and everyone at Porsche Newcastle is delighted to now be supporting such a worthy cause as the Foundation of Light's Fashion Strikes event."
Proceeds from the Porsche raffle, as well as ticket sales and auctions at Fashion Strikes, will all be used to help fund the Foundation of Light's wide range of education and sports-based programmes, which benefit more than 42,000 young people and their families across the North East every year.
Phil King, Head of Commercial at the Foundation of Light, said: "Things are really revving up now for Fashion Strikes and we're delighted to have such a prestigious name as Porsche Newcastle on board."

Popping Through Pictures
Popping Through Pictures by Amanda Visell may be a board book (large format at that), but it would be foolish to suggest that this one is strictly for the board book set. It may be thus styled, but the appeal will be for fans of Visell's paintings, sculptures and vinyl. Visell's odd animals and monsters lurk on every page, ready to make short work of the unsuspecting children in their midst. But they ever actually make it that far? Visell' s colourful work tells the beginning of the story and the reader will have to decide how it will all end. The artwork in Visell's first picture book brings to mind Disney of the 1960s.

Tonight at 7:30 Indian philosopher Sri Chinmoy visits Miami (and welcomes the new millennium a wee bit early) to perform a Peace Concert at FIU University Park's Wertheim Performing Arts Center (SW 8th Street and 107th Avenue). As a musician who plays his own intense, ethereal work on a variety of instruments -- cello, flute, vibraphone, esraj, and piano -- the 66-year-old Chinmoy has earned the admiration of the late conductor-composer Leonard Bernstein, New York Philharmonic conductor Kurt Masur, and vocalist Roberta Flack. Since 1984 he has presented more than 450 peace concerts to half a million people at prestigious theaters such as Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, and the Royal Albert Hall. Chinmoy's proclaimed goal is to bring people together to share a few hours of undisturbed tranquillity. That should be something of a challenge in this divisive town. Admission is free. Call 891-9933 to reserve a seat.

In the 1985 comedy Lost in America, protagonist David Howard (Albert Brooks) repeatedly announces his intention to quit his frustrating job, retire from the rat race, and take to the road in a Winnebago so he can "touch Indians." Peruvian sculptor Felipe Lettersten seems to have done just that. But Lettersten doesn't just touch Indians; he creates life-size castings of them. The exhibition Tribal Spirits: Indians of the Americas features 50 such castings made of Indians who live in the Western Hemisphere, notably from the Amazon rain forest. Lettersten, who has been creating his distinctive works since 1986, found the Indians he dealt with to be reluctant subjects at first. After making castings of himself to prove they would not be hurt by the process, the artist persuaded members of several tribes (Yanomami, Amerakaeri, Arara, and Wai Wai are just a few) to agree to have their images duplicated in plaster. To date Lettersten has made more than 130 sculptures, all incorporating ceremonial dress and jewelry. The show runs through August 30 at the Miami Museum of Science and Space Transit Planetarium, 3280 S. Miami Ave. Admission is nine dollars. Call 854-4247 for hours.

The long-delayed conclusion to the Redemption Trilogy -- in which four heroes face their world's most dangerous villain. Read more
The long-delayed conclusion to the Redemption Trilogy -- in which four heroes face their world's most dangerous villain.
About this project
In 2006, White Silver Publishing released Into the Reach, the first novel of the Redemption Trilogy. In 2007, Departure followed. Soon after, White Silver folded, and the third book, Regaining Home, was never published. A draft of the manuscript is complete but was never finished.
In 2010, White Silver released the rights to publish the novels back to Alana Abbott, and now Alana -- with the team of editor extraordinaire Shawn Merwin and amazing artist Lindsay Archer -- is making plans to finish Regaining Home for release as an e-book.
The Kickstarter budget includes the following:
Original Art: Lindsay Archer has agreed to produce an original front cover painting for Regaining Home.
Editing: Shawn Merwin is again on board to edit -- and make awesome -- the manuscript by Alana.
Re-writing: Alana Abbott will be revamping the original manuscript to improve it prior to sending it to Shawn Merwin for editing.
Publishing: Once all the other steps are complete, Alana Abbott will format and design the e-book editions, in multiple formats, for Regaining Home.
Stretch Goals
$3700 -- If we hit the $3700 mark, Shawn has graciously volunteered to re-edit Into the Reach and Departure. When that happens, we'll release the newly edited editions in multiple file formats (rather than just PDF, which is how they're currently available).
$4300 -- If we hit $4300, Lindsay will do a signed and numbered limited series of prints of the cover art -- we'll start with 12 available as a $75 reward (which will also include everything from the $35 reward), and if demand is high (and we continue to raise funds), we'll make more available.
$5000 -- If we hit $5000, Alana will compile a collection of new and previously published short stories, for definite release as an e-book, for probable release in print.
2/5/13 We've hit $1000 and are about a third of the way to our goal! In honor of that, we've added a new backer reward for $75: Improv Snippets by Alana Abbott. Backers who donate $75 can send Alana a genre, setting, and two characters (named or given by profession), and Alana will create a unique scene featuring those elements. The Improv Snippets will be compiled into a backer-exclusive e-book. (Alana may choose to use the snippets for another project in the future and retains any pertinent copyright, but your name will be listed along with the snippet wherever it appears, in perpetuity.) To pad the Improv Snippets collection, Alana may choose to include original snippets of her own creation, or original snippets as they appeared in the Empty Room Studios Art Book project.
2/6/13 We've added a couple more rewards -- some additional behind-the-scenes content at the $25 level, but more excitingly, manuscript review by Shawn Merwin at the $40 mark! If you know any aspiring (or professional!) writers who would like a critique of a manuscript of up to 50 pages, this is a great opportunity!
2/9/13 Lindsay Archer has agreed to let donors follow along with the process of creating the cover art. At the $35 level, donors will receive all of the $25 benefits, plus behind the scenes insights into the art process.
In addition, by request, the $50, $75, and $100 rewards will include all of the $25 rewards (rather than the $9 or $15 rewards), since the $25 reward was added after those rewards were written up (and Kickstarter doesn't allow edits on rewards that have already been chosen). The good news is, it's more good stuff for donors! The art rewards will remain separate; we're hoping to add further art rewards later on, and those will likely include the $35 level rewards as well.
Risks and challenges
The hurdles are largely a matter of scheduling. Lindsay, Shawn, and Alana all have other assignments that require their focus. Successful funding of the project allows them to make time in their busy schedules to focus on this project.
In addition, this will be Alana's first experience in e-book design. Though she has already researched coding and formatting, she may run into unforeseen challenges in the final stages of the project and need to seek expert advice to make sure the final result is as pretty as it is fun to read.
Learn about accountability on KickstarterFAQ
In print, Into the Reach had 258 and Departure had 354. I'm expecting Regaining Home to be somewhere between those two page counts.
Until we do the final revisions, an exact number is hard to determine, but I expect it to be at least 30 mss pages. I'm hoping to completely cut a few characters from the early draft of the novel, so there will certainly be scenes featuring those characters. The beta readers at the $100 reward level are likely to impact several scenes, too, since they have the potential to reverse some of my plot decisions.
If people are interested in behind-the-scenes material from the earlier books, I suspect I still have cut scenes in my files somewhere.

Sunset Cove
Highest quality spot around
What we say:
Sunset Cove is the fanciest setup (it calls itself a boutique resort) on Ao Chaophao. Their rooms provide most modern comforts -- air-con and DVD players along with a good selection of free movies are standard. A good-sized swimming pool and sun deck sit near the beach along with a classy restaurant serving steaks and seafood as well as Thai food and a complimentary breakfast. Like the resort itself, the restaurant is a bit overpriced. Though tightly packed together, the rooms are comfortable and immaculately clean, if somewhat staid. Beds are large and very plush and the open-air showers and some tubs are a nice touch. All said, this is a comfortable place if you've got the extra cash, and the service and staff are great.

Lima, OH The Barons golf team has seen steady improvement thus far this season. The team scores have improved each week with the best score of the season, 327 being shot by the Barons on Saturday at OU Zanesville.
At OSU Newark on Friday, April 23rd the Barons played at Granville Golf Club and played well by shooting a 336. Freshman Brady Schroeder shot a 74, which earned him a tie for overall medallist. Schroeder had to battle with his opponent for another 7 holes before winning in sudden death extra play, finally being declared the tournament Medallist.
At OU Zanesville on Saturday, April 24th the Barons really had it going as they shot a season best 327. Leading the way for the Barons this day were Schroeder with a 77, Clark Luginbuhl with an 81, Brandon Hemker with an 83, and Joe Biller with an 86.
Next week the Barons play at Wooster and St. Clairsville to gear up for the ORC State tournament weekend. They keep getting better, gaining valuable experience and hopefully carrying some momentum in to the post season play.

US PresswireTom Brady, left, and Aaron Rodgers own the top two spots in our first MVP watch list of the season.
Quarterbacks' recent grip on the NFL's Most Valuable Player Award could be slipping.
Peyton Manning's precarious health situation heading toward the Indianapolis Colts' 2011 opener leaves him ranked only 10th on our initial MVP Watch of the season.
It's nearly unfathomable.
Manning has won four of the last nine MVP awards in Associated Press balloting. Tom Brady commanded 99 of 100 votes in winning the 2007 and 2010 awards. He's the favorite this year, but if Manning fails to recapture his usual form after missing the exhibition season, non-quarterbacks can feel better about their chances.
Running backs LaDainian Tomlinson (2006), Shaun Alexander (2005) and Marshall Faulk (2000) are the only non-quarterbacks to win the award since 2000.
Defensive lineman Alan Page, kicker Mark Moseley and linebacker Lawrence Taylor defied the MVP odds even more improbably. They won the NFL's highest individual honor without handling the football regularly as a quarterback or running back. They were the exceptions since the Associated Press began naming MVPs back in 1957.
Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson are the only non-quarterbacks appearing on the initial MVP Watch this season. I'll be watching Ben Roethlisberger, Josh Freeman, Clay Matthews Jr., Matt Schaub, Arian Foster, Andre Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald and others during Week 1.
Who else deserves early consideration? Rotating additional players through the rankings will be a priority.

GOP is the party of Fred Flintstone say Democrats
Anytime that The Who's "Won't Get Fooled Again" can be referenced, it should.
So we lead with that this morning as we discuss the Democratic National Committee's new ad that attempts to portray the Republican Party as the party of dinosaurs.
To do that, they rolled out footage of some of the GOP's Grand Old People: Dick Cheney, Newt Gingrich, and John McCain. It wasn't that difficult to do as all three appeared on the Sunday Morning News shows yesterday.
That's the point the DNC is making: No New Ideas. No New People.
Or as the ad says, "The New GOP. Same As The Old GOP." (This is The Who reference, for the sad few who aren't fans).
It was a given that the DNC would try to make hay out of Cheney's appearance on Face the Nation yesterday. The vice president, unlike some in the GOP, doesn't waiver and stays consistent in articulating what he believes -- no matter if it's the popular thing to say or not.
So although the big sound bite of the day was Cheney's remarks on the Rush Limbaugh - Colin Powell tiff, he also said that Republicans can "win elections when we have good, solid conservative principles to run upon and base our policies on those principles."
Same old
Those principles are outdated according to the DNC.

Outsourcing and the new talent-centric HR approach
Last month we held our HR Directors Annual Symposium which saw leading figures in the HR profession come together from around the globe to discuss this year's topic, 'Redefining Business Value Through a Talent Centric Approach'; and the debate certainly gave me an insight into the current situation in HR.
A key trend which was widely acknowledged throughout the day was the increasing pressure on HR to enable growth whilst making operations leaner, faster and more cost effective to run, pressure which shows no signs of fading.
One of the speakers, Gyan Nagpal, former head of talent in APAC for Deutsche Bank and now CEO of the consultancy, PeopleLENS, emphasised the fact that corporate boards are looking for greater involvement and depth of insight from HR, which means it is now more important than ever that the profession presents its business case in a more structured and robust manner.
As pressure grows for this new HR role I can't help but consider the Ulrich model, an application originally put in place to help HR grow and develop, which is widely being criticised for no longer achieving the desired impact. At a time when HR needs to connect at all levels within a company, the Ulrich model has in some cases removed the all-important middle and created a disconnect between process and strategy, an important connection which can be rebuilt as the profession reacts to the changing business climate.
The new HR role
In a challenging and ever changing economic environment it is difficult to forecast skills and organisational needs. As CEOs look to attract and retain the skills they need to remain competitive, they are in need of strategic outsourced business partners for assistance. In many instances though, they do not view the HR function in this way. To counter this, HR professionals need to align talent strategies with real industry needs.
In the first instance there is a level of education needed on both sides as to the role of HR at board level. For senior line management a better understanding of how talent management can contribute to the bottom line is desirable, whilst HR professionals, in return, need to learn the inner workings and language of corporations to be able to quantify the business impact of talent management in a way the board easily understands.
Take the people agenda for example. As this topic becomes a more important part of human resources, HR professionals need to be able to put it into more quantifiable, commercial terms, so board members can see the incentives behind it before they can agree to any investment.
An ideal approach to this new talent centric focus would see a partnership whereby both parties draw on their experiences to work together and develop robust strategic principles which supply the talent for a business which is yet to be defined. This is a great opportunity for HR professionals to be the guide business leaders are looking for and achieve the boardroom credibility desired by talent management professionals both as an outsourced function and internal resource.
Over the next year or two, external and internal specialists alike will need to take more risks when it comes to talent management in order to develop and retain the right people needed to keep up with the changing environment. Instead of working separately, HR professionals and line managers should be combining their talent management efforts to maximise success and support each other as strategic business partners should.
The full analysis of the HR Directors Symposium is available in the Ochre House White Paper Redefining business value through a talent centric approach. For a copy of the report please contact Prashanie Dharmadasa: email@example.com
