Amherst to Continue NCAA Championship Run at Tufts
AMHERST, MA – Fresh off a 3-0 win over Husson University, the Amherst College field hockey team will continue its run in the 2009 NCAA Championship this weekend at regional host Tufts University. The Lord Jeffs will take on Skidmore College Saturday, Nov. 14 at 2 p.m. in the tournament's second round, with the winner advancing to play Sunday at 1 p.m.
Each of this weekend's games at Tufts will feature a live webcast. Tickets for all three games will be available at the gate of Bello Field and will cost $5 for adults, $4 for students and $3 for senior citizens and children under 12. Sunday's quarterfinal winner will advance to play in the national semifinals at Mount Holyoke College, with the final two rounds taking place Saturday-Sunday, Nov. 21-22.
The Lord Jeffs scored two goals in a span of 48 seconds to take a 2-0 lead into halftime on Wednesday, adding a third goal in the second half to mark its first NCAA Championship victory since the 1999 Amherst team advanced to the national title game. The last time the Jeffs advanced to the second round was in 2000, when they suffered a 2-0 loss to Cortland State after receiving a first-round bye.
This season has already proven to be one of the most successful in the program's 34-year history. Prior to 2009, only four Amherst teams had won at least 12 games, and only three had qualified for an NCAA Championship. Another victory for the Lord Jeffs would match the 13 wins from the 2001 season, leaving only the 1999 (15-3) and 2000 (14-3) teams ahead of this year's squad in the win column.
Thirteenth-ranked Amherst will be taking on a tough opponent in ninth-ranked Skidmore this Saturday, but the Lord Jeffs have posted a 3-2 record against nationally-ranked teams this year. The Thoroughbreds (16-3) earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championship by winning a second-straight Liberty League title as the conference's top seed. Skidmore posted a 7-8 record in its previous eight appearances in the national tournament, advancing to the semifinals in 2001. In the only meeting between the Jeffs and Thoroughbreds, Amherst earned a 4-3 victory in penalty strokes at Skidmore in the 1999 NCAA Championship quarterfinal round.
Skidmore is in the midst of an impressive nine-game winning streak, scoring at least four goals in six of those contests. The T-Breds are 1-1 against the NESCAC this season, having posted a 1-0 victory over Williams before falling to Middlebury, 3-1. The team features three of the Liberty League's top four scorers, including Christine Kemp with 52 points on 18 goals and 16 assists, and Elise Britt with 21 goals and five assists for 47 points. Leading their league in scoring offense (3.95 gpg), scoring defense (1.16 gpg), shutouts (6) and penalty corners per game (14.21), the Thoroughbreds have outscored opponents by a 44-4 margin in the first half.
Fourth-ranked Tufts (16-1) will be taking on unranked MIT (18-4) in Saturday's first game. The Jumbos suffered a heartbreaking 3-2 double-overtime loss to Bowdoin in last year's national title game, but they returned to the national tournament with an automatic bid as champions of the NESCAC. Making its fifth NCAA Championship appearance, Tufts is a combined 35-3 (17-1 NESCAC) in the past two years. Amherst was handed a 2-0 loss at Tufts during the regular season and a 4-0 setback last year, but the Jeffs came out on top on the Jumbos' home field in 2007, 2-1.
Tufts brings a six-game winning streak into this weekend, with five of those victories coming in shutout fashion. The Jumbos are coming off a 3-2 win over Trinity in the conference finals, a win that avenged a 2-1 overtime loss from the regular season and marked the team's first-ever NESCAC crown. Featuring NESCAC Coach of the Year Tina McDavitt, Player of the Year Tamara Brown (21-10-52) and five All-Conference selections, Tufts leads the NESCAC in scoring offense (4.06 gpg), scoring defense (0.53 gpg), shutouts (10) and penalty corners per game (13.00).
MIT is making its first appearance in the NCAA Championship thanks to receiving an automatic bid for winning the NEWMAC Tournament as the No. 2 seed. The Engineers defeated Babson (3-0), Mount Holyoke (2-0) and five-time defending conference champion Springfield (4-2) in the tournament, increasing their winning streak to nine games with a 2-1 upset over host Nichols College Wednesday night in the opening round of the national tournament.
Boasting by far the best overall record in the NEWMAC, the 18-4 Engineers are 2-0 on neutral ground this year but have yet to face a NESCAC team. MIT's offense is led by the trio of Kimberly Barker (20-4-44), Jessica Oleinik (13-3-29) and Anna Teruya (12-5-29), while Keri Dixon has posted a 1.38 goals-against average with seven shutouts as the team's lone goalkeeper to see playing time this year. Amherst has never lost to the Engineers, outscoring them by a 25-2 margin in eight meetings.

Denver dispatcher quits after 911 caller is killed
Dispatcher has resigned after failing to relay key information to officers responding to a woman who was killed 12 minutes into a call
Associated Press
DENVER — A Denver police dispatcher has resigned after failing to relay key information to officers responding to a woman who was killed 12 minutes into a 911 call.
Police have said the dispatcher had information — including that the woman's husband was getting a gun from a safe — that should have been given to responding officers, who were consequently unaware of the possibility of escalating violence.
Denver officials began the process of firing the dispatcher on Friday, but they later accepted her request to resign instead, safety department spokeswoman Daelene Mix said Monday. Mix did not release the dispatcher's name.
Earlier Monday, Mix said city officials fired the dispatcher.
Police have said Kristine Kirk, 44, pleaded in the April 14 call for authorities to hurry and send officers because her husband had asked her to get a gun and shoot him. She said Richard Kirk, 47, was hallucinating and talking about the end of the world after having marijuana-infused candy and possibly pain pills, according to police reports.
As the call continued, Kristine Kirk frantically told a 911 call-taker that her husband was getting a gun from a safe. Within a few seconds, the call-taker could hear her screaming. There was a single gunshot before the line went quiet.
Police have said the dispatcher did not relay those and other critical details to responding officers, who were unaware of them before they arrived. The 911 call-taker entered notes about them into a computer, but the dispatcher, who passes information along to officers, never aired the details over the radio. She gave them initial information about the call, but she failed to update them for 13 minutes about the rising threat of violence, police said.
A summary of an internal investigation says a Denver officer was less than a mile from the home, but he did not head there for eight minutes. Police have said he would have left sooner had he known the gravity of the situation. The incident prompted changes in departmental policy.
Richard Kirk, 47, has been charged with first-degree murder. He has not yet entered a plea.

The great thing about Mambo is that you can order a pizza that combines four other ones. Instead of having one large pie it is divided up in four sections so we ordered vegetarian, meat, and two other sections. Really good, hot, and fast.
They have the best pizza in town. Last time we had pizza this good was from our regular spot on the mainland. This is now our regular pizza spot in Nanaimo.
The pizza crust is crispy and awesome. Not a bad portion of toppings as I don't like loaded pizzas that become sloppy. Ambiance is straight forward just eat your pizza. All four of us had enough from an extra large and pieces to take home. We all really liked it.
We ordered a 1/2 Kudu Delight1/2 bacon burger deluxe delivery18 inch pizza which arrived promptly and was hot and tasty. Fed 2 growing teens and me with pieces left over. Thin crust, good toppings, nice flavour. Wd defo order again if we lived in Nanaimo.
My family stopped by here late at night and ordered an extra large pizza. We ended up buying a few slices of an already made pizza and took those back to the hotel with us. The pizza had lots of flavor and a thin crust. Would eat here again. My dad would give this 6 out of 5 stars.
In town to see the Dragon Boats & saw other reviews so tried Mambo's - not disappointed - had a large 1/2 BBQ chicken & 1/2 jalepeno poppers which is more than a meal for the 2 of us & lunch the next day. Best pizza ever. No atmosphere jin the store front just great pizza. Parking also can be...
I'm not a big fan of pizza but sometimes you crave for that thin crusted tasty bite. This place has been here for a while and I can't believe that my hubby never brought me here before. Love that we have a place like this in town where we can grab a quick bite to eat while shopping in the...
The pizza is always great and they even offer gluten free (however only one size) and dairy free options. The only concern is that we had ordered a gluten free/dairy free pizza and when I went to pick it up they had not made it on a gluten free crust. Luckily we are not celiac and the manager, after much...
I have been there with my husband and we loved it. Amazing pizzas! Excellent pineapple pizza, cozy atmosphere, helpful stuff. Must try!
Were looking for a place to eat in Nanaimo and read the reviews. The pizza was great and the service was outstanding. We out the in the restaurant and while it is very basic the attentiveness of the staff was appreciated. The tables are on the smaller size and without asking two tables were moved together. Next time we are...

"My favourite Nevil Shute book"
I read the book many years ago and as soon as Audible provided it, I bought it. It is an amazing story and I would highly recommend it to listeners. It is well read. I also recommend all the other books by Nevil Shute.
"Fascinating book"
I am only halfway through this book. It is a wonderful book full of lifestyles on the early 19th century - quite a history lesson at the same time as being a fascinating account of a brutal murder.
"Good Stories"
This is a good book to listen to while travelling - I always enjoy Jeffrey Archer's stories.
"Excellent series"
I am hooked on all Alexander McCall Smith's books. First I read 44 Scotland Street and now I am on the last book of Corduroy Mansions. I love all his eclectic characters with their faults and virtues. He really understands humans and dogs. I also read No 1 Ladies Detective Agency - but only one so far. I can't wait for my morning walk with the dog to listen to the next hour's worth! Simon Prebble is a great reader - a voice for each character.
I am in the last quarter of this book. I listen to books while walking the dog for about an hour each day. I have always enjoyed Marina Lewycka's books. The story jumps from one character to another and often back into the past when the characters were young. She is as funny an ever and sometimes people must wonder why I am laughing as I walk! Some books I can't wait to hear what happens next - but not with this book - it is what I call leisurely listening (reading). The narrator is excellent.
"Excellent listening"
It took me a while to get into the first book because of all the characters, but once they were established as 'real characters', I loved the stories. I then listened to the next book and am now listening to 'Love Over Scotland'. It is essential to read the books in order. They are beautifully written and the narrator is excellent.
"Absolute Drivel"
When I reached chapter 5 I decided that I had better things to do than listen to this drivel. The author needs to learn how to write and the narrator needs to take elocution lessons - she has a whining teenager voice. I should have read the reviews before purchasing this book - what a waste of a credit. Somebody insisted I read the book!
"A very sad emotional story"
This book was very well read by Dennis Boutsikaris. As I have worked to help eradicate polio in India, the story brought home to me the devastation that a preventable disease can bring to a community. I know many survivors of Polio, who now in their declining years are suffering from the effects of the painful and crippling disease.
"Good book"
Took a while for me to get into the story but it was a good mystery and had a perfect ending! I bought the book because of Michael Kitchen - he is a superb narrator. I have purchased the next in the series.
"Beautifully read"
I agree with the first review. Nevil Shute has always been my favourite author - I just wish there were more of his books on audio, as I have difficulty reading nowadays. I did find the Morris/Helen romance had a perfect ending - quite obvious!
Adrienne, Kingston, Ontario

Excellent quality and excellent variety of pizzas. Nothing more to say, worth every euro. Try the whole grain pizzas, that are really incredible
Maybe the best pizza you can eat in Sarzana in this period. Ingredients are genuine and the style is real of Naples : the base is thin but not crispy, and it's very large. You can choose from the menu or there're 3-4 pizza of the day in the blackboard. My personal suggestion is to try the "Saporita". There's also...
Il Bacetto has a wide selection of pizzas and all the ones that I have tried have been very good. Their crust is the thinnest that you are likely to find so if you are looking for a 'light' pizza this is a good option. If you have a big appetite you may want to go elsewhere. They also have...
This pizzeria is maybe the best in town. Have a good choice of pizza and all that I've tried are really good. Good cakes too. During week ends, it is usually fully booked so it's better to reserve.

For every Matchbox Elephant Tote Bag purchased, an extra $5 will be donated to help fund the Mae Tao Clinic!
Mae Tao Clinic has a vision for all people from Burma to have access to quality and affordable healthcare, education and protection in respect of all human rights. In February 2015, a raging fire destroyed four dormitories that housed students attending Mae Tao Clinic's Children's Development Center (CDC). Located on the Thai-Burmese border, the majority of students are Burmese. In addition to providing a quality education, CDC offers safe housing, food, and health care. Thankfully, no one was killed in the fire, but the dormitories could not be saved. Since the fire, the students have been forced to sleep on the floor of their classroom hallways. In addition, students lost nearly all of their personal possessions to the fire. Help is urgently needed to rebuild the dormitories and replace the students' possessions.Click Here To Help Fund The Mae Tao Clinic!

BS Question - Calling all Grazia Rixi owners (and fans, and deale
Hello -- we're down to the VERY LAST item in the kitchen -- the backsplash!!
Thanks to the helpful advice of many on this forum, and the benefit of living with the (almost) finished kitchen for over a month, we are happily decided on a simple Grazia Rixi Crema subway (2 1/2" x 5") running bond backsplash. I know, not adventurous, but I've decided that my favorite thing about the new kitchen is the calming, "zen" feeling I get from the simple but classic elements, and I don't want to add anything busy to the backsplash that would end up fighting that "zen" feeling. (Plus, I love how the slight "sparkle" of the Rixi picks up the sparkle of my Zodiaq Nutmeg counters!)
So, Rixi it is!
Anyway, my tile guy just came out to measure, and is ordering tile tomorrow (which will come in on Thursday, and will be installed on Saturday and Sunday.) I just need help with the last two questions:
1) How did you end the backsplash runs -- 1/2 x 10 inch bullnose molding or 5" quarter round? (Or another way?)
2) If you ordered Crema, what color grout did you choose, and would you make the same choice again?
3) Ok, I know I said two questions, but -- do you have any pictures to share?
Thanks as always, and best regards -- wish I could invite every one of you over for a drink once we are completely finished!!
Here's a photo of how we installed our Grazia Rixi....great choice by the way, jgs! We used the bullnose to finish the edge and it looks fantastic. This photo is 'before grout', but we used a tan color product from Lowe's that is complementary. Good luck!
Here are a couple of pics of my Grazia Rixi. The grout is a cream color, but I can't remember the brand or name. I could find it -- I know there is most of a bag in the basement. The cream grout brings out the grey in the tile more than I expected, but I like it.
We used the simple quarter-round bullnose piece to finish off the ends.
Happy tiling! --Amy
stannley and amy -- thanks for sharing your beautiful backsplashes and advice.
Amy, is your Rixi in the Crema color?
Stannley -- is the yellowish cast in the picture from lighting or a reflection, or do you find that the tile has a yellowish undertone? (I seem to recall from other posts that you also used Crema, right?)
Thanks, again!!
The yellow is a combination of inadequate lighting in the area, and a lousy cell phone photo. It's really creamy (or Crema) in real life. I could see how as Amy indicated that you could get a grey cast to it with a lighter grout. We like the way it looked without grout so we went with something darker. I can take a better photo tonight....Either way I think you'll be thrilled!
I, too, used Grazia Rixi in the Crema color and am very happy with it. We went with a grout as near to the color of tile as we could and I believe it was called Bone. The grout was a special kind (I think it had sealer already in it) and I have the name of it at home as the tile setter left us the bag of leftover grout.
My backsplash:
From Backsplash
jgs, all of the examples posted look different as far as color. Mine IRL is not a creamy white as you would think from the name Crema. To my eye. mine has a slight beige tone to it. It will depend on your lighting and your grout. Let's put it this way. This tile helped tie together an almost impossible situation for me. My cabinets are BM Dove White and my granite is a dark Giallo Ornamental. (You should not put a brown and white like these together! Live and learn. I had a white backsplash that I installed and had removed a day later because it looked terrible. This tile was the perfect transition from the white to the brown. So, it is IMO that it will work in your situation.)
What I especially love about this tile is that it looks like a handmade tile with the slight irregular edges. That combined with the crackle finish, gives this "plain" tile lots of interest.
Thanks, all
Ellendi -- I am also hoping that the creamy tile will tie together the warm cherry cabinets and the cooler/taupey Zodiaq Nutmeg. I liked the Rixi Mandorla, too, but I think it might be too cool a cooler and stand in too stark a contrast to the warm wood.
Here's the kitchen so far. . .
Still think the Crema is a good choice?
Thanks again to everyone!
jgs, I revisited the Rixi site and I think the Mandorla might work better. Your counters seem to be a solid color. The resaon why the Crema works in my situation is because it plays off the creamish color that I have in my Giallo. How about getting as many samples of each and post here? In the photo, your unfinished walls look like they blend with your counters. Would you not want this "look" for your backsplash?
Thanks Ellendi --
My counter isn't actually solid - far from it, it's very "speckled" like many of the quartzes. Here's the best picture I have right now. . . (looking at another backsplash option I was considering)
I also like the mandorla, but I think the Crema works with the creamy speckles in the counter more. I think Mandorla would also be nice, but I do think (hope, pray) that the Crema would work as well or better. If there's any question in my mind once the tiles are here, I'll ask the installer to hold off while I get a sample of mandorla.
(I do have a sample board of the Rixi, which has both Crema and Mandorla, but it's hard to get the large board completely vertical in the backsplash area, so I can't see exactly how it will look with the UC lighting.
Thanks again.
Thanks for the close up. I think you will be OK with the Crema. For example, even if this counter gives the effect of a solid from a distance, there are many examples here of wood cabinets, white or cream backsplash and dark soapstone (Which can look like a solid) and these kitchens look great. As you say, the Crema will pick up on the cream speckles.
Put the board sideways and take a picture so we can get the idea if you like. You will be fine. I understand what you are going through!
Ok, pardon the crappy cell phone shot, but here's the Grazia Rixi board next to my counter sample piece. The tiles to the right (4x4) are the Crema, and the subway (appearing vertically) to the left of the picture is the mandorla. You can barely see the difference, but I think this gives a slight taste of how the crema brings out the warm speckles of the Nutmeg Zodiaq.
What do you think?
Thanks so much!
Yeah!! Thanks for the advice -- we'll be going with Crema (which I am sure my tile guy would be happy to hear, since I already asked him to order it) and will use the 10" bullnose/pencil trim on the ends. I cannot WAIT to see it all come together, so that I can take my final "reveal" pics!

Turning on a light is my cue to practice hope. When I plant a seed or a bulb, I am reminded to plant hope in my heart. Whenever I meet people who are thrashing about in gloom and doom I vow to hold up the banner of hope.
In 1962 the good doin' U.S. Army took me out of Philadelphia and put me into a strange place. It had strange people, strange food and strange language. It was South Carolina. I was there 16 to 17 weeks and got to like it. I even got used to and enjoyed grits (something I never saw growing up in the north).
When do you think this news headline was written? "Gambling, robbery, sexual immorality and violence are prevalent. Half of all children are born out of wedlock; purity and fidelity to the marriage vow are sneered out of fashion. Corruption in politics is rampant. The world is broken." This was written in 1694.
Of my five children, one is in Australia for a year, one is at Purdue University, one is at IU and the other two are still young enough to be safely home with mommy. Thanksgiving was my first holiday to experience the joy of welcoming two kids home, while at the same time battling the melancholy that settled into my heart due to one child not celebrating with us at all.
The most precious valuable gift you can ever hope to offer any human being is this one, simple, true thing: You.
-Your presence, showing up.
-Being in the company of another, undistracted, unhurried, with an open heart, gentle hands and a patient soul.
-Willing and able to listen, do something or do nothing, willing to be surprised by whatever emerges in the soil of sharing your present, loving company with another human being.
With our first "snow" already behind us, the possibility of inclement weather continues to increase and we think more and more about the transportation of students on snowy or icy roads. However, I take comfort in knowing we have a great staff that works tirelessly to make decisions on closing or delaying school, always keeping the safety of our students as their top priority.
I sat on the couch, making my Thanksgiving grocery list, while hubby and our seven-year-old daughter laid on their bellies and colored pictures in front of the fireplace. My ears perked up when I heard daughter ask, "Wouldn't it be weird if you could live without a head?"
One never knows what's taking place in the mind of a child. I smiled as I heard hubby say, "Have you ever heard of…"
Over the last month I have seen and heard more Christmas commercials than ever and we haven't even gotten to Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving has become the forgotten holiday which is sadly all too common in America. For a land blessed with such an amazing bounty we sure do have a lot of whining, moaning and complaining about the lack of stuff and that is just under my own roof. Have you decided to give a living will of thankfulness to your family and friends? What keeps you from being more thankful?
There are a couple of friends on my Christmas list that are virtually impossible to shop for. Maybe you have a few of those names on your list.
They have everything they need and most everything they want. These are also the people who have made it abundantly clear that they dislike gift cards, as they require "no thoughtfulness" on the part of the purchaser.
And the year I attempted to hand make all my Christmas gifts was not received especially well by these particular folks who probably donated those rather amateurish craft items to charity.

A Rabbi's World
The JW Q&A

Musician-songwriter Phillip Namanworth has performed on Broadway, in concerts, in nightclubs.
During these weeks before Rosh HaShanah, he does a gig each morning for an audience of two — himself and God. During the month of Elul, which precedes the holiday-laden month of Tishri, he blows the shofar every weekday morning in his Manhattan apartment.
In many Jewish communities, shofar blasts come before the Days of Repentance, as a spiritual wake-up call.
Last week Namanworth tried out another horn.
At J. Levine Books & Judaica in Midtown, where he attends Mincha services every afternoon, he tried to coax a sound out of a few shofars— including a giant Yemenite one— watched by owner Danny Levine, center, and sales manager Shawn Levine.
Namanworth, a student and teacher at Rabbi Simon Jacobson's Meaningful Life Center, also inspected some yom tov gifts like honey dishes, left, and the selection of High Holy Days books.
"I always check new books. I don't just come in and daven," he says.
Despite the ongoing recession, pre-holiday sales remain robust, says Danny Levine. This year's top-sellers: Jewish calendars, Jewish-themed Silly Bandz for teens, Rabbi Jacobson's "60 Days: A Spiritual Guide to the High Holidays," and the Conservative movement's new "Lev Shalem" High Holy Days machzor. "That's the hottest machzor this year," Levine says.
Namanworth, who has composed music for television, movies and a rock ballet, is now working on a play called "The Journey of The Baal Shem Tov," about the founder of the chasidic movement.
This month, he says, he's looking ahead to Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur. He can sense the approaching holiday, he says. "I feel it everywhere." Elul, he says, is "a transient time."

Kaisa and her boyfriend were excellent guests! They arrived after an amazing motorcycle adventure across Latin America, and were looking forward to exploring SF for a few days. They were incredibly self-sufficient, and clearly very experienced travelers. They explored all areas of the city, and even spent an entire day touring the city via bike — quite an accomplishment considering the hills of San Francisco! They were friendly, very clean, and took great care of our suite. I would recommend them and welcome them back to stay with us anytime!

How cactus buds find their way
I have watched a passel of astrophytum blooms this eary summer. My big A. ornatum blooms and blooms again. It has been joined by my two A. capricorne. These are first time bloomers for me. What i am struck by, is the question of how the bud finds its way through the morass of needles. It is such a bramble of a birds nest. I did feel the needles finally right up by the bloom and they are not hard as the ones further out.They are infinitely more flexible. The Echinocactus horizonthalonius has the same problem. They do it by moving the needles aside with a large mass of fuzz. It has puzzled me because this bid cage needs an emphasis on the CAGE. this cactus dropped of 11 ' from a porch last year with a table landing on top of it in a watering accident and it was unharmed.
Here the bud of the A capricorn has successfully reconnoitered the maze of needles leaving me amazed.
Here is another A. capricorne that has successfully pushed the needles aside. Notice that the dark needles are still a bit flat and fatten up with maturity. These needles on this one stays a bit more flexible than the the first one.

Thanks guys.
I have a Nikon D80 with an upgraded lense. I never go for the kit lens. Good glass makes all the difference. I also work the images in a photo program to burn in blown Highlights, darken light images, lighten shadows and balance colors. I admit to going out without makeup on, and my fingernails are always dirty, but I am very vain about my photos. I enjoy the process as much as gardening.
Wiley, I do not know the age of the plants since I do not grow from seed because I am a ruthless mother . I Definitely come to nurturing with a few handicaps. I got the big A. ornatum in 2010 maybe or 2009 and it was in a 1 gal. pot or a 6" pot. It had some size to it. I got the green one bare root spring 2012 and the whiter speckled capricorne came to me 2 weeks age.My guess is that the green one was probably 2 - 3 years when I got it a year ago so maybe it is 4 now.

Great pics and a very interesting question to ponder. The buds have to be so "tough" and creative to fight their way out, but then they produce such beauty afterwards.
Thanks for sharing the name of the camera you use. Guess I will have to start saving my pennies because I really like taking pictures of my hybrid flowers, especially since most of them only bloom once a year. I have a better camera than I used to, but it's not in the league of your Nikon. :-)
The lens I have is NOT very good at macros. I think I need another lens for that. The camera has been discontinued so it will be cheaper used now. I am of the generation who used generation old cameras. It still feels od to buy cameras every 4th year to keep abreast of the quality edge. I am way behind right now, So I need to start saving my bucks also.

Meir Panim delivers warmth, special care to families in need.
Take a ride to a welfare neighborhood some fine morning, evenings are best avoided even in the safest such places. Don't go in expecting Detroit. Even much of Detroit doesn't look like Detroit. Newark and Oakland aren't even there yet. Detroit is what happens when the load is too big and there's no one left to carry it. Most welfare neighborhoods are still located in cities where there is someone left to pick up the tab.
You'll see less charred buildings and more towering multistory housing projects. Some of these are the ugly bestial fortresses that date back to FDR's championing of affordable housing. One such monster, the Knickerbocker Village, former home of the Rosenberg spies, had to be evacuated in the recent hurricane and residents lived without heat and power for weeks.
30 years later they began to run to 20 story gray and brown towers reek of hopelessness. When power company workers came to restore power to the Brooklyn shoreline, they were sent to these places first in the hopes of calming mob reaction. Instead televisions came raining down from the upper floors forcing the workers to flee for safety. But don't expect that to happen during your visit. That sort of thing is reserved for major holidays and power outages.
More recently the trend has been smaller homes that look almost like normal housing, except that there are too many of them lined up all in rows that go on forever, and even the red brickwork and white doors quickly darken with neglect, fumes and that intangible pollutant that comes to all places where the people have nowhere to go and nothing to look forward to.
There are businesses in the welfare neighborhood, but they aren't really independent businesses. The bodegas, cheap corner groceries stores lined with ads for cigarettes, or government ads against them, with malt liquor ads and posters for a local performance by a rap group, Hong Kong crooner or Latin singer, get most of their business from food stamps. The bodegas, despite their name, are usually run by Indians, Koreans, Arabs or Bangladeshis. The few things they sell for real money are, in order, lottery tickets, beer and the occasional magazine.
70 years ago the small corner store was part of an economic ladder. Today it's as static as the rest of the neighborhood. Sometimes the owners make the jump to a welfare supermarket, that deals almost entirely in food stamps. Mostly though they are family businesses whose owners import some of their endless stock of cousins from the home country as unpaid labor. Sometimes the cousins marry into the family and open another one of the stores with money advanced by the patriarch of the clan, and with most of the profits going to him.
Then there are the check cashing places, where welfare checks are deposited, and money is sent home to Haiti, Mexico or Puerto Rico. These places too would dry up and go out of business without a steady supply of government money.
There are clinics, a surplus of them, running on government grants, taking in government money from their patients, and consisting of the usual uncomfortable multicultural mix of balanced groups, most of whom resent each other. There may be no supermarket in the neighborhood, no store that sells fresh fruit and vegetables, no bank or clothing store that sells anything more upscale than t-shirts and sneakers, but there will be several clinics specializing in every conceivable illness a local could come down with. And several that they can't.
Of the few independent businesses in the area, there will be a restaurant or two, cheap and dirty, where families troop in at night and old men sit during the day, there will be churches that young people rarely go to, and there will be 99 cent stores selling things for more than that. There will be schools, large buildings, and a variety of community centers, day care centers, libraries, prep places for students; all funded by the government. There will be places for teens to sit playing video games after they leave school, full of inspiring posters about achievement. And there will be social workers to help residents fill out forms for more benefits.

Apple increasing US iTunes music previews to 90 secondsApple sent emails to music label representatives Tuesday notifying them that iTunes music previews in the United States will be extended from 30 seconds to 90 seconds.
In an email (shown below) obtained by AppleInsider, Apple announced that it is "preparing to increase the length of music previews from 30 seconds to 90 seconds on the iTunes Store in the United States." The letter was sent to label representatives from "The iTunes Store Team." No time frame was given for when the extended previews will be available to U.S. customers.
The letter explains that by continuing to make content available on the iTunes Store, the recipient is agreeing to the new terms. The new 90 second previews only affect songs that are longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds, with shorter songs keeping the original 30 second preview length.
In late August, rumors swirled that Apple would announce extended iTunes music previews at its Sept. 1 special event. However, after the event came and went without the speculated announcement, Greg Sandoval of CNET reported that the plan may have been blocked by the National Music Publishers Association because of a licensing disagreement.
Dear Label Representative:
We are pleased to let you know that we are preparing to increase the length of music previews from 30 seconds to 90 seconds on the iTunes Store in the United States. We believe that giving potential customers more time to listen to your music will lead to more purchases.
All you have to do is continue making your content available on the iTunes Store, which will confirm your acceptance to the following terms.
You agree that this letter modifies our U.S. Digital Music Download Sales Agreement so that Clips for songs longer than 2 minutes and 30 seconds may be up to 90 seconds long (Clips for shorter songs will stay at 30 seconds); and you agree to license, or pass through to Apple, gratis mechanical rights for 90-second Clips embodying the entirety of compositions owned or controlled, in whole or in part, by you or your affiliates. Further, you represent that you have the authority to enter into this letter agreement for 90-second Clips.
Thank you,
The iTunes Store Team

Yes, I truly believe in the post-war era there was a true pride and enjoyment of making tin toys and very artful box covers from the Japanese. To set the record, I am not totally on one side of the fence or the other as some are when it comes to Japan or China repros or originals, My collection contains both, but personally I enjoy admiring the boxes as much as the robots, mostly Japanese, though, of which I will always be partial to; those were my original childhood toys.
I was just thinking about this topic while out robothunting. You see a lot of chinese crap toys with ZERO quality control showing up, much more thought went into designing the box of these things than the toys and then I reflected back to actual great toys and toy robots. There was a pride in making something back then and into the 80's and 90's as well. Even in the Hong Kong rack toys and figures, there was art.

I got this little guy at SDCC. By the time I made it to their booth only the pink was left so I got one of those. it's cute, but I agree not too imaginative. However, it's hard for me to say no to a tin robot at $10.

Wood floor to wood floor doorway transition
We are installing 3/5/7 random width 4 side bevel oak flooring in our great room remodel. I wove it into existing (a pain in and of itself).
We are 90% done, but now I am a bit stuck. It is about to run into the doorway to the dining room, which is 2" flat oak flooring (tight, no bevel or gaps). So the transition will be oak to oak, but they are different styles.
My options:
1) dead into the old floor (very precise cuts, no room for error, have to redress the bevel on the cut edges)
2) plain oak board sideways in the doorway and dead into it from both sides. The old dining room floor is perfectly straight, but I'm not sure how I'd cut the existing floor across in a doorway. No room to get a saw or router in there, at least not all the way.
3) get it close and use a transition strip. I hate elevation changes, and right now the first floor has none, including three different floors (slate entry, wood in living/dining, and wood in the family/kitchen)
Am I missing an option? What is commonly done? When I google this, I get mostly results for tile to wood or wood to linoleum -- that kind of stuff.
Thanks in advance!
One way I have used repeatedly is to lay the second floor reasonably tightly to the first, then route out a recess to hold a flush filler strip.
It is a lot easier to make the filler strip fit tightly (like beveling both long edges) and then hide the few face nails required.
Okay, I think I see what you are getting at.
I should be able to lay flooring into the doorway with ease and then maybe screw down a straightedge to the door frame (or pocket screw it in place) and route a perfect line. Then it would be alot of small adjustments, but I'd rather do that on one filler strip than every floor board.
I should have said, the boards meet this doorway edge on, that is, the boards are the long part of the T and the doorway is the top of the T.
