Saint Sebastian (died c. 288) was an early Christian saint and martyr. He was killed during the Roman emperor Diocletian's persecution of Christians. He is commonly depicted in art and literature tied to a post or tree and shot with arrows. Despite this being the most common artistic depiction of Sebastian, he was, according to legend, rescued and healed by Irene of Rome. Shortly afterwards he criticized Diocletian in person and as a result was clubbed to death.[1] He is venerated in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches.
The details of Saint Sebastian's martyrdom were first spoken of by 4th-century bishop Ambrose of Milan (Saint Ambrose), in his sermon (number 22) on Psalm 118. Ambrose stated that Sebastian came from Milan and that he was already venerated there at that time. Saint Sebastian is a popular male saint, especially among soldiers.[2][3]
According to Sebastian's 18th century entry in Acta Sanctorum,[5] still attributed to Ambrose by the 17th century hagiographer Jean Bolland, and the briefer account in the 14th century Legenda Aurea, he was a man of Gallia Narbonensis who was taught in Milan and appointed a captain of the Praetorian Guard under Diocletian and Maximian, who were unaware that he was a Christian.
According to tradition, Marcus and Marcellian were twin brothers from a distinguished family and were deacons. Both brothers married, and they resided in Rome with their wives and children. The brothers refused to sacrifice to the Roman gods and were arrested. They were visited by their parents Tranquillinus and Martia in prison, who attempted to persuade them to renounce Christianity.
Sebastian succeeded in converting Tranquillinus and Martia, as well as Saint Tiburtius, the son of Chromatius, the local prefect. Another official, Nicostratus, and his wife Zoe were also converted. It has been said that Zoe had been a mute for six years; however, she made known to Sebastian her desire to be converted to Christianity. As soon as she had, her speech returned to her. Nicostratus then brought the rest of the prisoners; these 16 persons were also converted by Sebastian.[6]
Chromatius and Tiburtius converted; Chromatius set all of his prisoners free from jail, resigned his position, and retired to the country in Campania. Marcus and Marcellian, after being concealed by a Christian named Castulus, were later martyred, as were Nicostratus, Zoe, and Tiburtius.
Diocletian reproached Sebastian for his supposed betrayal, and he commanded him to be led to a field and there to be bound to a stake so that archers would shoot arrows at him. "And the archers shot at him till he was as full of arrows as an urchin,"[8] leaving him there for dead. Miraculously, the arrows did not kill him. The widow of Castulus, Irene of Rome, went to retrieve his body to bury it, and she discovered he was still alive. She brought him back to her house and nursed him back to health. The other residents of the house doubted he was a Christian. One of those was a girl who was blind. Sebastian asked her "Do you wish to be with God?", and made the sign of the Cross on her head. "Yes", she replied, and immediately regained her sight.[citation needed]
Sebastian later stood on a step and harangued Diocletian as he passed by; the emperor had Sebastian beaten to death, and his body was thrown into a privy. But in an apparition, Sebastian told a Christian widow where they might find his body undefiled and bury it "at the catacombs by the apostles."[citation needed] Because of this, Sebastian is sometimes known as the saint who was martyred twice.
Of the miraculous effect of the example of Sebastian, the Golden Legend reports,
... Saint Gregory telleth in the first book of his Dialogues that a woman of Tuscany which was new wedded was prayed for to go with other women to the dedication of the church of Sebastian, and the night tofore she was so moved in her flesh that she might not abstain from her husband, and on the morn, she having greater shame of men than of God, went thither, and anon as she was entered into the oratory where the relics of Saint Sebastian were, the fiend took her and tormented her before all the people.
Sebastian was also said to be a defense against the plague. The Golden Legend transmits the episode of a great plague that afflicted the Lombards in the time of King Gumburt, which was stopped by the erection of an altar in honor of Sebastian in the Church of Saint Peter in the Province of Pavia.
Remains reputed to be those of Sebastian are housed in Rome in the Basilica Apostolorum, built by Pope Damasus I in 367 on the site of the provisional tomb of Saints Peter and Paul. The church, today called San Sebastiano fuori le mura, was rebuilt in the 1610s under the patronage of Scipione Borghese. Others sources assert that his body would have been carried from Rome to Saint Medard Abbey in Soissons, France.
Sebastian's cranium was brought to the town of Ebersberg (Germany) in 934. A Benedictine abbey was founded there and became one of the most important pilgrimage sites in southern Germany.[9] It is said the silver-encased cranium was used as a cup in which to present wine to the faithful during the feast of Saint Sebastian.[10]
The earliest representation of Sebastian is a mosaic in the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo (Ravenna, Italy) dated between 527 and 565. The right lateral wall of the basilica contains large mosaics representing a procession of 26 martyrs, led by Saint Martin and including Sebastian. The martyrs are represented in Byzantine style, lacking any individuality, and all have identical expressions.
Another early representation is in a mosaic[11] in the Church of San Pietro in Vincoli (Rome, Italy), probably made in the year 682. It shows a grown, bearded man in court dress but contains no trace of an arrow.[12] The archers and arrows begin to appear by 1000, and ever since have been far more commonly shown than the actual moment of his death by clubbing, so that there is a popular misperception that this is how he died.[13]
As protector of potential plague victims (a connection popularized by the Golden Legend[14]) and soldiers, Sebastian occupied an important place in the popular medieval mind. He was among the most frequently depicted of all saints by Late Gothic and Renaissance artists, in the period after the Black Death.[15] The opportunity to show a semi-nude male, often in a contorted pose, also made Sebastian a favourite subject.[16] His shooting with arrows was the subject of the largest engraving by the Master of the Playing Cards in the 1430s, when there were few other current subjects with male nudes other than Christ. Sebastian appears in many other prints and paintings, although this was also due to his popularity with the faithful. Among many others, Botticelli, Perugino, Titian, Pollaiuolo, Giovanni Bellini, Guido Reni (who painted the subject seven times), Mantegna (three times), Hans Memling, Gerrit van Honthorst, Luca Signorelli, El Greco, Honoré Daumier, John Singer Sargent and Louise Bourgeois all painted Saint Sebastians. An early work by the sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini is also of Saint Sebastian.
The saint is ordinarily depicted as a handsome youth pierced by arrows. Predella scenes when required, often depicted his arrest, confrontation with the Emperor, and final beheading. The illustration in the infobox is the Saint Sebastian of Il Sodoma, at the Pitti Palace, Florence.
A mainly 17th-century subject, though found in predella scenes as early as the 15th century,[17] was St Sebastian tended by St Irene, painted by Georges de La Tour, Trophime Bigot (four times), Jusepe de Ribera,[18] Hendrick ter Brugghen and others. This may have been a deliberate attempt by the Church to get away from the single nude subject, which is already recorded in Vasari as sometimes arousing inappropriate thoughts among female churchgoers.[19] The Baroque artists usually treated it as a nocturnal chiaroscuro scene, illuminated by a single candle, torch or lantern, in the style fashionable in the first half of the 17th century. There exist several cycles depicting the life of Saint Sebastian. Among them are the frescos in the "Basilica di San Sebastiano" of Acireale (Italy) with paintings by Pietro Paolo Vasta.[citation needed]
Egon Schiele, an Austrian Expressionist artist, painted a self-portrait as Saint Sebastian in 1915.[20] During Salvador Dalí's "Lorca (Federico García Lorca) Period", he painted Sebastian several times, most notably in his "Neo-Cubist Academy".[citation needed] For reasons unknown, the left vein[clarification needed] of Sebastian is always exposed.[citation needed]
In 1911, the Italian playwright Gabriele d'Annunzio in conjunction with Claude Debussy produced a mystery play on the subject.[citation needed] The American composer Gian Carlo Menotti composed a ballet score for a Ballets Russes production which was first given in 1944.[citation needed] In his novella Death in Venice, Thomas Mann hails the "Sebastian-Figure" as the supreme emblem of Apollonian beauty, that is, the artistry of differentiated forms; beauty as measured by discipline, proportion, and luminous distinctions. This allusion to Saint Sebastian's suffering, associated with the writerly professionalism of the novella's protagonist, Gustav Aschenbach, provides a model for the "heroism born of weakness", which characterizes poise amidst agonizing torment and plain acceptance of one's fate as, beyond mere patience and passivity, a stylized achievement and artistic triumph.[citation needed]
Sebastian's death was depicted in the 1949 film Fabiola, in which he was played by Massimo Girotti.[citation needed] In 1976, the British director Derek Jarman made a film, Sebastiane, which caused controversy in its treatment of the martyr as a homosexual icon. However, as several critics have noted, this has been a subtext of the imagery since the Renaissance.[21] Also in 1976, a figure of Saint Sebastian appeared throughout the American horror film Carrie.[22]
Pietro Vannucci Perugino's painting (c. 1495) of Saint Sebastian is featured in the 2001 movie Wit starring Emma Thompson. Thompson's character, as a college student, visits her professor's office, where an almost life-size painting of Saint Sebastian hangs on the wall. Later, when the main character is a professor herself, diagnosed with cancer, she keeps a small print of this same painting of Saint Sebastian next to her hospital bed. The allusion appears to be to Sebastian's stoic martyrdom - a role the Thompson character has willingly accepted for the betterment of all mankind. There may be a touch of authorial (or directorial) cynicism in making this "saintly" connection.
In 2007, artist Damien Hirst presented Saint Sebastian, Exquisite Pain from his Natural History series. The piece depicts a cow in formaldehyde, bound in metal cable and shot with arrows.[23]
British pop band Alt-J's video for Hunger of the Pine contains references to the story of Saint Sebastian's death, adapted to fit the lyrics of the song.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Sebastian is commemorated by an optional memorial on 20 January. In the Church of Greece, Sebastian's feast day is on 18 December.
As a protector from the bubonic plague, Sebastian was formerly one of the Fourteen Holy Helpers. The connection of the martyr shot with arrows with the plague is not an intuitive one, however. In Greco-Roman myth, Apollo, the archer god, is the deliverer of pestilence; the figure of Sebastian Christianizes this folkloric association. The chronicler Paul the Deacon relates that, in 680, Rome was freed from a raging pestilence by him.
Sebastian, like Saint George, was one of a class of military martyrs and soldier saints of the Early Christian Church whose cults originated in the 4th century and culminated at the end of the Middle Ages, in the 14th and 15th centuries both in the East and the West. Details of their martyrologies may provoke some skepticism among modern readers, but certain consistent patterns emerge that are revealing of Christian attitudes. In Catholicism, Sebastian is the patron saint of archers and of a holy death.
Sebastian is one of the patron saints of the city of Qormi in Malta along with Saint George.[24] Sebastian is also the patron saint of Acireale, Caserta and Petilia Policastro in Italy, Melilli in Sicily, and San Sebastián as well as Palma de Mallorca in Spain. He also is the patron saint of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Informally, in the tradition of the Afro-Brazilian syncretic religion Umbanda, Sebastian is often associated with Oxossi, especially in the state of Rio de Janeiro itself.
He is also the patron of a college named for him in Manila, Philippines which is adjacent to the Parish of San Sebastian.
Sebastian is the patron saint of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Bacolod, in Negros Occidental, Philippines.
Saint Sebastian is the patron of Knights of Columbus Council #4926 in the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Jose in California, serving the cities of Mountain View and Los Altos.
In his 1906 Reminiscences, Carl Schurz recalls the annual "bird shoot" pageant of the Rhenish town of Liblar which was sponsored by the Saint Sebastian Society, a club of sharpshooters and their sponsors to which nearly every adult member of town belonged.[25]
The St. Sebastian River is named for Saint Sebastian. It is a tributary of the Indian River Lagoon and comprises part of the boundary between Indian River County and Brevard County in Florida. The adjacent city of Sebastian, Florida and St. Sebastian River Preserve State Park are also named for Saint Sebastian.[26]

By The Hays Daily News
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. -- After a 4-0 start to the season last weekend, the Fort Hays State University volleyball team lost three straight Friday at the Crossroads Classic, then won back-to-back Saturday.
FHSU opened the tournament with a 3-2 loss to Texas Woman's University (22-25, 25-18, 19-25, 25-23, 12-15) and then dropped 3-0 decisions to Grand Canyon, ranked No. 24 in NCAA Division II, and Colorado Mesa on Friday.
Then on Saturday, the Tigers won 3-1 (25-22, 18-25, 26-24, 25-19) against Western State (Colo.) Collge and 3-0 (25-12, 25-10, 25-17) against Oklahoma Panhandle State University.
In the Grand Canyon match, FHSU dropped the three sets 25-19, 25-22 and 25-15. Against Mesa, the Tigers lost 25-20, 25-13 and 25-17.
Versus Texas Woman's, FHSU came back from a two sets to one deficit and trailed 23-21 in the fourth set before it won four points in a row. Sophomore right side hitter Taylor Mares finished with 19 kills and a .395 attack percentage. Senior setter Kayla Zoglman delivered 50 assists. Viktorija Jablonska had a big match for TWU with 22 kills and a .457 attack percentage.
Stats remained unavailable for the match as of Friday night, though Grand Canyon improved to 6-0 with the win versus the Tigers. Against the Mavericks, juniors Jenna Ulrich and Madison Schwartz tied for the team-high with seven kills. Zoglman collected 13 assists and junior libero Makenzie Weinman finished with 14 digs.
The Tigers play their home opener Tuesday against new MIAA member University of Nebraska-Kearney. Match time is 7 p.m. at Gross Memorial Coliseum.

George Nix entered the service of the United States military on Oct. 3, 1961.
He served in the 10th Kentucky U.S. Infantry in Company E. before being transferred to the Veterans Reserve Corps on April 30, 1864. Nix survived his time in the Civil War, though he is known to have suffered an injury during his service.
As of 1860, Nix is listed as a resident of Washington County, where he married Martha Emily Young, daughter of Martin and Elizabeth Young, on Jan. 19, 1865.
January 15 Commanderettes end six-game skid
The Washington County Commanderettes (2-7, 1-4) went up against the defending state champion Marion County Lady Knights (7-7) this past Saturday night, and it showed. The Knights jumped out to a 15-4 lead to start the game and never looked back. The Commanderettes cut their deficit to 12 by halftime, but the damage had already been done. Marion would go on to win by a score of 52-39.
March 19 Commanderettes score 38 runs in first two games
5:45 a.m. While much of the region sleeps, Gene Boone's heart pounds and adrenaline rushes as the air fills with rock and roll and the grunts of others.
Sweat pours as they feel the burn, and it's all in the name of fitness.
"My motto is fit over 40," Boone said.
Many in Washington County may know Boone as a mail carrier who works the east side of Springfield. The 45-year-old, who walks on average 10 miles a day for the position, has worked as a mail carrier for the last 14 years.
Discounted Game Passes There will be game passes offered at discounted rates to students and adults for the boys and girls basketball season at Washington County High School. The game passes will be available at the high school admission gate until the first of January. Parents or a legal guardian must accompany elementary and junior high school students for them to be allowed in to the games.
Protect Your Family
Washington County school officials are reviewing their options for providing lighting at the entrance of the new Washington County High School, and they're hopeful of resolving the issue at next month's Springfield city council meeting.
There's only one way to describe it – organized chaos.
Like a busy ant colony or beehive, students, faculty and staff swarmed in and out of classrooms, hallways and busses as they packed up furniture, books and other school property on Dec. 17 and began the processes of moving to the new high school.
Despite the less than perfect weather, students appeared to be happy-go-lucky as thy packed up their old school, and several told The Sun they're glad the day has finally come.
Test scores did not reflect the improvement that the local district had hoped to see last year, and prior to last week's board meeting, officials discussed what has been done this year to get back on track.
Washington County High School principal Thad Elmore said WCHS has put an increased focus on math and reading to make sure the lesson plans coincide with the requirements for the end-of-year PLAN test.
Washington County was one of the districts to receive a waiver to implement snow day lesson plans in place of missed time earlier this year. Now, with students enjoying a three-week break, the first Commander Day lesson plans are being established.
A Commander Day will be declared on days where snow or ice keeps students from being able to attend school, but the roads are clear for faculty to report by 10 a.m.

At Destination ImagiNation, students think outside the box
By Terra Cooney Correspondent
Chicago Regional Rally Leader, Diana Baldi for Chicago Construction.
Help yourself
Illinois Destination ImagiNation is always looking for volunteers, including the following:
Team managers: Adults age 18 and older who facilitate teams. The organization will train you for this position.
Coordinators: Help form teams, coordinate with and support team managers, register team memberships with the local organizations, and communicate information to teams.
General volunteers: Plan and implement training events and workshops for teams, and for innovation tournaments.
Appraisers: Appraisers watch the teams' Presentations at Destination ImagiNation Tournaments and award points for Challenge solutions.
For more information about Illinois Destination ImagiNation visit www.illinoisdestinationimagination.org.

Diana Baldi once gave up a full-time salaried job to focus solely on volunteer work for Destination ImagiNation. The global nonprofit organization, also known as DI, provides educational programs to young people, encouraging creativity, teamwork and problem-solving.
Baldi is now the far north regional director of Illinois Destination ImagiNation and Chicago Rally Leader for the AEM Construction Challenge. This event, which DI sponsors, provides participants with real-world experience that will inspire them to explore and pursue careers in the construction industry.
"The DI volunteers share an intense passion for the students and affirming their success," the Libertyville resident said. "It is like no other group I have known."
Having made large strides in expanding information about DI, and creating many meaningful relationships in the area, Baldi is positioned to run her online business, Innovation Training & Consulting, as well as continue her service with the organization.
Baldi became involved in the organization 14 years ago when, based on a teacher recommendation, her oldest daughter was invited to participate in the program. At the time, they needed a parent team manager, and Baldi volunteered. Her whole family has been active in the volunteer-run program ever since.
"Seeing the transformation of the children in the program over time compels me to do more," she said. "Children are faced with pass/fail and right/wrong in the classroom, but in DI, there are no correct answers. Everything we do is open-ended and creativity is encouraged, both inside and outside of the box."
As part of Baldi's position as regional director, she has recruited teams and networked with after-school providers, educators and parents. She has written funding grants, recruited volunteers and helped provide training to new groups, as well as run tournaments for large groups. Through funding from the Motorola Foundation, DI has collaborated with after-school providers on Chicago's south side, Waukegan, North Chicago and near west suburbs such as Melrose Park. This funding allowed DI to provide stipends for team managers, provide transportation to events and cover membership fees, tournament fees and supplies.
The expansion of the program has been impressive, but the organization always needs more volunteers. Typically, suburban families have become involved as team managers and sometimes hold meetings in their homes. Underserved areas need locations and adults. Important community partners include Boys and Girls Club of Lake County, YMCA of Metropolitan Chicago and Metro Family Services.
An event requires from 30 to 150 volunteers, so we have an opportunity to inspire many adults as they see the progress and transformation of the students," Baldi said. "The adults also have a great time using their talents in meaningful ways."
Schools, church groups and neighborhood groups can encourage children to participate in DI as an extracurricular activity. Baldi has watched children grow from their experiences with DI, even over a few hours time.
"We have had shy kids on the teams who wouldn't talk to anyone, or let anyone look at them," she said. "To see them taking on speaking roles in front of an audience of 100 people at the end was just amazing."
When Baldi isn't busy running DI events and helping with the advancement of the organization, she consults with private clients through her company. She works with businesses on management systems and innovation consulting, training and systems audits to verify effectiveness.
"My business also conducts youth camps focused on building creativity and innovation skills, developing science interests and of course, having lots of fun," she said.

The daily prix fixe (about $30) might include upside-down foie gras custard, roasted free-range chicken, and a fruit tart in a perfect, buttery crust. The à la carte menu always includes house-smoked Scottish salmon, cold cuts made from heirloom cochon noir de Bigorre, luscious chicken-liver and Calvados terrine, grilled rib eye with béarnaise sauce and thick-cut fries, a casserole of fresh market vegetables flavored with marjoram-perfumed oil, and a daily fish dish (perhaps whole lingcod). A selection of artisanal cheeses or homey desserts such as fruit crumble or chocolate terrine finish the meal. The half dozen wines (by the carafe or glass) include a fine white Viré-Clessé Domaine de la Bongran from Jean Thévenet. Decor isn't this corner café's strong suit (tile and plank floors, vinyl banquettes, bentwood chairs, chalkboards, and cheek-by-jowl seating), but it's hard to imagine friendlier service; a more pleasant, casual atmosphere; or a better location—halfway between Place des Vosges and the Picasso Museum. At lunch or dinner, you'll mix with local regulars and savvy travelers on the Marais beat.
Open daily noon to 3 pm and 7 to 11 pm.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Thomas Vermaelen will be assessed ahead of Arsenal's FA Cup final clash with Hull.
England midfielder Oxlade-Chamberlain has been out with a groin injury since the league clash with the Tigers on April 20, while defender Vermaelen missed the season finale at Norwich after having five stitches in his knee.
Aaron Ramsey, Kieran Gibbs, Jack Wilshere and Abou Diaby all returned from injury at Carrow Road, while Wenger faces a selection dilemma on whether to start number one Wojciech Szczesny or FA Cup ever-present Lukasz Fabianski.
Theo Walcott and Serge Gnabry (both knee) remain absent.
Hull boss Steve Bruce has vowed to take no risks with his starting line-up as his side bid to win the FA Cup for the first time in their history against Arsenal.
Paul McShane (ankle), James Chester (hamstring), Robbie Brady (groin) and Sone Aluko (ankle) are all expected to pass fitness tests but are unlikely to make the Tigers' starting line-up.
Allan McGregor is set to continue in goal after making his comeback in the Barclays Premier League defeat to Everton, while Nikica Jelavic and Shane Long are both cup-tied.

On this cold Thursday morning, much of Brunswick County was without power. A Brunswick Electric Membership Cooperative spokesperson told WWAY power was out from Supply southward to the state line.
Power was restored around 9:00 this morning, and the spokesperson said it's believed the problem started at the Prospect Transmission Substation near Supply.

Public Shooting Ranges in Mesa Arizona http://www.google.com/search?q=public+shooting+range+mesa+arizona&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.yahoo:en-US:official&client=firefox
Not close, but the Elzy Pearson Memorial range just south of Casa Grande is awesome, well maintained and free. Also stopped by Caswells in Mesa the other day, nice place. Ted's Shooting Range in Queen Creek looked like a very friendly indoor range.
Another vote for Ted's in Queen Creek. First time I stopped by the AZ forum, Howdy folks.
Usery Pass in Mesa. Look north towards the mountains. You'll see a big letters "PHOENIX" Right under that sign is a outdoor range. 7 dollars all day
Loyalty can't be bought at any price; but it can be rented remarkably cheaply.
Usery Mountain Shooting Range is a great place to go and shoot. It is also where Rio Salado Sportsmans Club is. I belong to the club and I go out there at least once a week when I can. Also they hold different type of matches there. I run the Hunter Pistol Silhouette/ Cowboy Lever Action matches there on the High Power range. It is on the first Sunday of the month. Our next match will be on 2/3. Match starts at 9am. If you want to find out about all of the different types of matches they have and when they are held during the month you can go to their web site "www.riosaladosportsmans.com" and get more info on them and they have contact info on everyone that runs the different matches and info on how they matches are run. I hope that this helps out.

@indigomoth - I'll second that you should look for forums with one caveat.
I think when you are starting out with a new craft type, and learning a bunch of basic techniques, it can be easy to spread yourself too thin. This doesn't matter so much if you are learning for fun, but if you're hoping to develop your skills and maybe eventually sell some jewelry, you need to focus a little more.
Don't try every little thing on the forums. There are too many techniques to focus on all at once. Find a few that look interesting and practice them until you have them right.
This way, you can develop your own style without just scraping the surface of a bunch of other peoples' styles.
Copper jewelry making is a lot of fun though and can produce some gorgeous items. Good luck!

got the R door, R fender, R rocker in primer last night. I was kind of bummed to realize I didn't even fully sand a patch of mud low on the rocker. Was planning on only priming that area once but I guess I'll have to spot some primer on the rocker later. The door and fender don't need any more primer but will let them sit and kick for a week or two. Also realized the after market L quarter that was installed had an all too common issue...the stamp caused the middle of the wheel crown to be caved in. You can't always find this with guide coat and sometimes it's hard to find with your hands so it's best to use a straight edge for this area. You really need to access this area BEFORE you put mud on it, but at the time I didn't think about it.
Moral of the story, guide coat is just part of the equation. If anything, I'd say a good hand feel and using it when needed is just as important if not more important than guide coat. If this wasn't the case then guide coat would show you everything on hoods and decklids but to get them truly straight you need to put the guide coat to the side and rub your hands all over it in multiple directions. Some guys think it's not an exact science but neither is guide coat, otherwise it would show you the hood/deck isn't straight. The best handtool is the hand itself in body work. |
Got a new baby.
Drove up to Nelsonville, Oh to get our new papillon puppy. She is only five weeks and tree days old, but he mommy's milk dried up, so we got her early.
I'll tell you what I've been working on...getting off the computer and getting stuff done! Can't get anything done playing on the computer. There's a limited amount of time we are each given and I'll be damned if I'm spending it on the computer living in a virtual world that doesn't really exist or matter. I think we all should spend less time on the computer and more time in our garage or spending time with family. Just a thought. Enjoy your day, whatever it is you're doing. Wait a minute...I'm on the computer right now-damn it!
That is going to be first class Brian. I love the way you can put the sill plate back on and make it go away too. Thanks for the pictures.
I can officially can say Woo Hoo. My doors are shiny. They buffed out very nicely. It will be good to put the old girl back together. |

As we all know the countdown to the 2012 Olympics is on, in fact it is at 77 days to be precise. The buzz of the Olympics is infectious and seems like a time for us to celebrate all things British, especially when it comes to VFX. So thankfully I found this in little beauty in the VFX news this week, the final version of Studio AKA's introduction sequence for the BBC and their Olympic Torch Relay Coverage.
Cool right?
I know that not everyone is excited for the Olympics but I am not one of them. I personally cannot wait. Yes my journey to work might be horrific, well more horrific then before, but I think it is a great way for the UK to showcase our talent. And obviously not just in sport and the proof is right here. London based CG Studio AKA and Kristian Andrews, a brilliant British talent, were at the forefront of the BBC project.
The Studio AKA clip combines Andrews' direction, a breath taking interpretation of the Olympic Torch's and an inspiring theme song by Brit band Elbow. I personally think it creates an additional level of excitement to the beginning of the first Olympics in the London since 1948.
If you are yet to see the Olympic Torch design then take a look here. It is pretty spectacular. It's made from a dual layer aluminium alloy and the design includes 8,000 circular laser cut perforations to represent each of the 8,000 inspirational torchbearers from the UK.
For more information on the Olympics or to see if the Olympic torch is coming anywhere near you check out the London 2012 Olympic website
We promise no more sports related blog next week!!

Abandoned puppies rescued, need new home (video)
Sonny Long
April 11, 2013 at 5:04 p.m.
Updated April 10, 2013 at 11:11 p.m.
Victoria is home to several organizations that care for and adopt out animals that can no longer be taken care of by their owners. These organizations include:
• Dorothy H. O'Connor Pet Adoption Center, 135 Progress Drive, 361-575-8573.
• Adopt-A-Pet, 8215 Houston Highway, 361-575-7387.
• Victoria Animal Shelter, 122 Perimeter Road, 361-578-3564.
The shivering puppy wrapped its paws around Kathleen Pine's arm as she spoke to it in quiet, soothing tones.
"All we need is someone with a kind heart and a fence," said Pine, who rescued the puppy and his brother last week from bushes near the Hidden Meadows subdivision.
"I tried to get hold of them, but they were shy and didn't want to be touched," she said. "They were really skinny and licking the water off the leaves. It just broke my heart."
With the help of her husband, Hutch Pine, the pups were finally corralled.
"I have a full house with two large dogs and six cats, or they'd be ours," Pine said.
She took the pair to the Main Street Animal Hospital, where veterinarian Travis Schaar examined them.
"Overall, they were both in pretty good health. They had no skin conditions or anything like that," Schaar said. "They were thin and both had some eye problems."
Schaar said one of the mixed-breed puppies seemed to have suffered an eye injury, causing a cloudy cornea.
"That has impaired its vision in that eye," he said. "I don't know if it was from maybe fire ants when it was younger or from some sort of trauma."
The cloudiness in the other pup's eye has cleared up since being at the animal hospital.
"This may clear up, too," Schaar said. "They are eating, and they are active."
Schaar said the dogs will likely grow to between 25 and 35 pounds.
Pine paid for the pair, which she has dubbed "Peaches and Herb," to be de-wormed, neutered, vaccinated and receive any other medical attention they might need.
"They are going to stay here until I find a home for them or get them placed at Adopt-A-Pet," she said.
Dog abandonment and neglect is not uncommon in Victoria, said Jean Dunham, a member of Pets are Worth Saving and the president of Victoria Trap-Neuter-Return.
"It's a huge problem in this area. It's prevalent," she said. "We found one dog the other day that looked like it had been used for pit bull bait."
Dunham said the dog required medical care that tallied up $700 in veterinarian bills.
Heather Kern, Victoria Animal Control assistant supervisor, has a less pessimistic observation.
"I can honestly say that a very small percentage of the stray dogs that we pick up are injured or abused looking," Kern said. "Most of the dogs appear healthy. A few have minor issues such as skin conditions, but again, it is a small percentage."
Either way, Pine said it is the responsibility of an animal's owner to take care of it.
"The thing that confuses me is that they are between 3 and 4 months old, and they must have been some place or they wouldn't have lasted this long," she said. "They had to be in someone's care.
"The sight imperfection may make them less desirable to many people, but in my thinking, it makes them more desirable.
"Animals depend on us, and it's our responsibility to do our best for them. Our best includes caring for the ones who need it most."

Chief the Fire Dog Removed from Station 6
POSTED: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 - 7:20am
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:33am
The dog adopted by station 6 firefighters in Brownsville is at the Animal Regulation and Control Center.
Firefighters found "Chief" during a dive training session and nursed her back to health, but the Fire Chief says having the dog at the station is a liability and he says some firefighters who also work at station 6 do not want the responsibility of the dog. Fire Chief Lenny Perez gave the firefighters til Monday at 5pm to find Chief a new home and then extended the deadline till Tuesday at 5pm. When he found the dog at the station around 6:45pm, he picked her up and took her to the animal shelter.
The Fire Chief says the dog had no tags and that it is against city code to have the dog at the station. Dog advocate and Mayor Pat Ahumada says he hopes to take this issue up at city hall. Firefighters say they called police to file a theft report, but again, the Fire Chief say they did not follow through as promised and get the dog a new home. He says years ago when firefighters had a dog, they accidentally ran over it and that's just one of many concerns he has over liability.

An Evaluation of the Effects of INSIGHTS on the Behavior of Inner City Primary School Children

Get AccessA prevention trial was conducted to evaluate a temperament-based intervention (INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament) as compared to a Read Aloud attention control condition in reducing behavior problems among inner city children. The participants were 148 inner-city first and second grade children, their parents, and their 46 teachers who were from six schools in a Northeastern city. Parents were interviewed on the Parent Daily Report at baseline and every two weeks until the completion of the intervention phase to assess the extent of child problem behaviors in the home. The parents also were interviewed at baseline with the Disruptive Module of the Diagnostic Interview for Children and completed the Brief Symptom Index to assess parental depression.
A repeated measures multivariate analysis of covariance with parental depression as a covariate was conducted to examine the children's behavior over the course of the intervention. In order to test the impact of INSIGHTS for the overall sample and to determine whether the intervention was differentially effective for children diagnosed with a disruptive disorder versus those who did not receive a diagnosis, two and three-way interactions were examined and found to be significant. The INSIGHTS intervention was more effective than Read Aloud in reducing children's problem behaviors at home across both the diagnosed and non-diagnosed groups, but demonstrated a significantly greater efficacy among children who were at diagnostic levels compared to those who were within normal levels.
Editors' Strategic Implications: The authors describe the promising practice of instructing parents and teachers on how to adapt their behavior management strategies to fit each child's temperament. Replication with a longitudinal follow-up will be necessary to determine whether program effects persist.

text: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Hockey Again Collin Insley December 17, 2012 Prospects 1 Comment By Collin Insley, Staff Writer If the December 15th game between the Ontario Reign and Idaho Steelheads is the only professional non-charity hockey game I attend this year, that will be alright with me. Not because I'm at peace with the labor strife threatening to swallow the NHL whole – far from it. The fact that the NHL owners and players are seemingly willing to watch and wave goodbye as yet another season washes away, for the second time in less than a decade, makes me feel physically ill and causes me to question my own love for the game. But then I went to an ECHL game and was reminded that it isn't the NHL that I love – it's hockey. And hockey's all around us. You just have to look for it (and maybe take a drive to the boonies). I'm glad we made the trek – it was well worth it. * * * On Saturday night, two of my hockey buddies and I left from Garden Grove, CA and headed Northwest towards Ontario, CA with the intention of watching a minor league hockey game. The ECHL's Ontario team, the Reign, was scheduled to take on Idaho's entry in the league, the Steelheads. The Ontario Reign are the ECHL affiliate of the Los Angeles Kings. Per Wikipedia: The Reign started as the Huntington Blizzard in 1993. After the 1999-2000 ECHL season, the team went dormant until 2003, when new owners bought the team and moved it to Beaumont, Texas as the Texas Wildcatters. The team played as the Wildcatters until they were unable to secure an arena lease in Beaumont. The team then relocated to Ontario for the 2008-09 ECHL season. The announcement of the franchise's relocation came on February 26, 2008. The team was then renamed Ontario Reign and the team's logo was unveiled on March 17, 2008. Coming into Saturday night's action, the Reign sat in second place in the ECHL's Western conference with 35 points. Their opponent Idaho actually has more points than Ontario, but find themselves ranked third in the conference by virtue of the Reign currently leading their division (the Alaska Aces sit atop Idaho's division, as well as the entire conference). With the stage was set for a barn burner of a game, neither team would disappoint. The Reign thrilled the home town crowd while skating to a decisive 6-2 win led by Dan DaSilva and fan favorite Colton Yellow Horn (does this guy have the best name in all of pro hockey, or what?). The game had it's rough moments, with local product C.J. Stretch getting whistled for four minor penalties, and several almost-fights breaking out only to be stifled by the officiating crew, much to the disappointment of all in attendance. All in all, it was a pretty typical pro hockey game, for which I think everyone watching was grateful – not because of any particular incident, or outstanding play, but mostly for serving as a reminder that although the NHL may be dormant, there is still plenty of fun to be had at a hockey game if you're willing to seek one out. * * * I wasn't sure what to expect as we pulled up to Ontario's Citizens Business Bank Arena. I used to go to minor league hockey games all the time, when the Long Beach Ice Dogs and the IHL were will a thing. The arena the Ice Dogs played in was the Long Beach Convention Center, and I remember it being much, much colder and dingier than the friendly confines of the Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim. The seats were cheaper, the food seemingly staler, the crowd rarely close to full – but it was pro hockey, and I was ten years old, and it was capital-A Awesome. Imagine my shock, then to pull up to Citizens Business Bank Arena and find a rather large, fancy and modern-looking arena. Granted, it's no NHL-caliber stadium, but it's certainly not the War Memorial Arena from "Slap Shot" either. And there were real, living people walking around in hockey jerseys – a lot of different variations of Reign jerseys throughout the years, but also a lot of NHL jerseys…lots of Kings, some Ducks, even some Bruins and Hartford Whalers sweaters. Again, I'm not sure what I was expecting, but I'm fairly certain that it wasn't this. It all seemed just too normal. Having been to a pro hockey game or a hundred in my lifetime (mostly NHL), an unfortunate preconceived notion had formed in my head about not only the quantity but also the quality of fans to be found at minor league hockey games in Southern California. It's not a completely absurd notion – the types of crowds that NHL hockey attracts in Southern California aren't exactly known for their passion or wide knowledge base. It's tough to fill up a 17,000-plus arena 41 times a year with passionate and knowledgeable hockey fans in an area where the sport is still in its relative infancy, and although there will always be die hards, the vast majority of paying spectators are simply looking for entertainment. Which is fine. Hockey is entertainment. But it's always a little bit disappointing to be surrounded by people at a hockey game who don't seem to really get it. I stupidly thought that it would be even worse at an ECHL game, when in fact the exact inverse is true. It stands to reason. Think about it. You've got to be a HUGE hockey fan to actively seek out minor league hockey in Southern California. The number of Southland residents even aware of the NHL Lockout is surely a depressingly low figure, but how many people do you think actually know that there are other pro hockey teams in the area not named the Kings or the Ducks? I'd wager not many. And so the crowd at the game was, in a word, awesome. Several specific examples stick out: – The mother and her two daughters sitting in front of us, at glass level, passionately pounding on the glass and shouting at players by name, screaming for fights. We're talking nine, ten-years-old at maximum. That's awesome! – Another mother and her young son (sporting an Idaho Steelheads jersey) sitting next to us. The boy had two souvenir pucks in his hand the whole game, and paid exceptionally good attention until he started getting tired (and I'm sure frustrated by Idaho's offensive woes). – The fun give and take between the PA Announcer and fans, who seem to have developed several traditions, my favorite of which being that whenever an Ontario power play ended, the PA Announcer would, in a depressed voice, forlornly announce, "Idaho's back at full strength…" and the crowd members in the know would shout back, "And They Still Suck!" It was all a tremendous amount of fun. The tickets were outrageously cheap ($25/ticket, four rows from the glass) and the hockey was entertaining (adding intrigue were several NHLers suited up for action, including Devin Setoguchi, Nick Johnson and Paul Mara). Before this I never would've been able to imagine how nice it would be to once again drink flat beer and eat bad stadium food. But boy, was it great. If you haven't been to a pro-level hockey game yet this season, do yourself a favor and seek out the closest professional (or closest to professional, as it were) hockey team near you, and go. Go and support local hockey. Trust me, you'll love it. It may even remind you why you love the game so much. I've grown slightly apathetic over the course of this most recent lockout, and I really hate that. Hockey has played (and I would imagine will continue to play) a huge role in my life, and it depresses me to no end that the NHL's owners and players can't seem to agree on what's good for the game. However, watching two teams from North America's second tier minor hockey league duke it out on a Saturday night in Ontario has reaffirmed my love for the sport, and reminded me that while the NHL may be able to keep fans from enjoying its product, it can't keep fans from enjoying hockey for what it is: the most exciting and entertaining sport on the planet, no matter how flat the beer or stale the food…oh, who am I kidding – I love the flat beer and stale food, too!

A newer version of Opera is available.
Or, Learn More About OperaOutstanding
Full user review
"Good, but lots of pages don't work"
Looks good, the speed dial is good, lots of inbuilt features, and there is a 'turbo' thing that speeds up browsing on slow connections.
The main problem with opera, is page compatibility. Loads of websites don't render properly. Some websites outright lose all the styling and texts show up all over the place, some others load, but there's some part of the page that won't function. As in, the page looks fine, you type something in a text box on the page and click on "Go", nothing happens. What's worse, they have a fanboy filled help forum, who tend to blame every page incompatibility on the website builder. It's like, Opera is the gold standard, and if something doesn't work, it's always the website's fault.
These idiots seem to forget, that the same page WORKS perfectly in mozilla firefox, perfectly in google chrome, perfectly in IE9, perfectly in Safari for windows, it's ONLY OPERA THAT FAILS, but yet, it's not Opera's fault, it's the web page builder who hasn't done a proper job. Opera fanboys are worse than Apple fanboys.Summary
Don't waste your time with this.
It looks good, and when you use it a first few days, it would appear to work good. But over time, you will come across loads and loads of websites which won't function properly. When you write this on their help forum, 99% of the times the stupid fanboys will fire back that Opera is the best and the website designer has not done a good job.
What they fail to see, is that the same page renders perfectly in every other major browser out there in the wild.
If every other browser can render it right, and opera cannot, i don't care whose fault it is, opera is the first thing i will get rid of.
I've spent enough time trying to get it to work. I really have better things to do than waste time in opera forum, tweaking this setting, changing that setting, installing patches, and finally hear from some arrogant fanboy that the website which renders properly in every other browser and fails in opera, is the result of the website programmer's fault, not opera's.
Move on. Firefox and Chrome are way better than this.
