Big Walnut Local School District treasurer Felicia Drummey was unable to attend last Thursday (May 8) evening's Board of Education meeting. District Superintendent Steve Mazzi presented Drummey's monthly report to the board, and used the occasion to remind Board members that the time to renew the School District's emergency operating levy is rapidly approaching.
District voters approved the current five-year, 7.5 mil, $4.9 million levy in 2010 with an understanding that the School District's administration would not return to voters for additional dollars for the life of the levy.
"It's time now to begin thinking about the levy," Mazzi said. "We promised the community we would not come back to them for money for five years, but before you know it that's going to be here."
Mazzi said as the District gets closer to the levy's expiration date, renewal numbers would be easier to calculate.
"We want to be totally transparent, fair and open as we move forward," Mazzi said. "May 2015 will be a big date for us."
In the audience was General Rosecrans Elementary School PTO President Liana Lee, who will serve as the levy campaign chairperson. Lee said the former ABC Committee (Actions to Benefit Children) that has spearheaded past levy and bond campaigns, has been renamed Community For Eagle Pride.
"A dedicated group of citizens are starting to organize," Lee said. "We believe the School District is doing a great job with our money. It's important for us as a committee to get out and start supporting this now."
In presenting Drummey's monthly numbers, Mazzi said there was a $700,000 negative variance between income and expenditures in April because of a timing issue — a late homestead rollback payment.
"Income was up for this April over April of 2013, and all income categories are trending higher," Mazzi said. "In April the District spent $2,400,000, only $40,000 more than budgeted. Because of cost-saving strategies we've used over the past five years and a stronger economy, we're doing a good job with taxpayer's dollars.
"The state says they're funding schools like never before, but our share has gone down $289,000," Mazzi continued. "Considering our operating budget, that loss is substantial. Overall, the projected budget by the end of the year is positive. Our cash balance is better than budgeted and better than last year, but as always we have to be cautious."
Mazzi also had to don his apology hat. As part of monitoring the property tax value of homes in the School District it was determined there were some issues with Westport Homes properties, the properties were sold, the original tax burden was passed along to the homeowners, and the county filed against the homeowners for recovery.
"We contacted these folks, it was not our intention for our attorneys to file against them," Mazzi said. "We apologize, and (Delaware County Auditor) George Kaitsa has received notification from our attorney withdrawing those notifications."
In other business, Assistant Superintendent Angie Pollock announced a new after-school program the District will pilot at Big Walnut Intermediate School — Eagle Extensions. Pollock said teachers and others would be available one afternoon each week to share their talents with students.
"We have a community known for sharing their gifts with students," Pollock said. "We'll send an e-mail out to parents, and launch the pilot in October. We're working with Felicia (Drummey) on establishing fees. We have to make sure we're covering instructor costs and materials, but we intend to keep fees as low as possible."
Harrison Street Elementary School, mothballed in 2010, is being resurrected for the 2014-15 school year. HSE's newly-appointed Principal Kim Castiglione reported that hiring is almost complete for the pre-K through grade four building.
"The building looking fantastic with new tile, stair treads and carpets," Castiglione said. "The PTO has met for the second time. Students will be going through the building on May 29 at 1:30 p.m., and from 5 to 7 p.m. on May 29 the building will be open for families."
Former board member Jim Hildreth, who now represents the School District on the Delaware Area Career Center Board of Education, reported that DACC's enrollment this year is 1,024 students with 180 students from Big Walnut. Hildreth said numbers are up for the 2014-15 school year when DACC's enrollment is estimated at 1,469 students with 310 Big Walnut students expected to take advantage of career center options.
Hildreth noted that six candidates applied for the Big Walnut High School Ag Science teaching position that's funded by DACC.
"We invited four candidates to the first round of interviews," Hildreth said. "On May 19 the final candidates will meet the community."
Hildreth also encouraged Board members to set up a DACC tour next school year.
Big Walnut parent Shawna Mosher was at the meeting to concerns about an unresolved issue with a District bus driver. She said there was a change in bus drivers, and then a driver left her two children standing along Ohio 37 intentionally.

Curiosity update, sols 549-562: Shooting past Kylie on the road to Kimberley
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2014/03/06 07:35 CST | 7 comments
In a series of drives, Curiosity flew past the "striated terrain" that outcropped at Kylie, and is now negotiating her way around some rockier territory as she makes her way south toward the enticing outcrops of Kimberley.

Curiosity Update, sols 534-540: Over Dingo Gap, onto softer sand
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla on 2014/02/13 12:55 CST | 5 comments
After more than two months of very slow driving due to concern about the wheels and time spent choosing whether to enter "Dingo Gap" or not, Curiosity has safely crossed the dune and resumed longer drives, achieving 75 meters and crossing the 5-kilometer mark on sol 540.

Cassini flew past Phoebe on June 11, 2004, on its way to entering Saturn orbit. The flyby was almost perfect but overexposure of some images have prevented color mosaics from being produced. Even though Phoebe's body is gray and dull in color, the absence of color images always provoked me. By using VIMS data, I have now produced color mosaics.

Is your Apple iPhone suffering from poor battery life, a frozen touchscreen or an inability to connect to the internet? You're not alone, and we can help.
My iPhone's Home button doesn't work
The iPhone's Home button is necessary to reboot or reset the phone, both of which are quick and easy fixes to many iPhone issues. But what do you do when your iPhone's Home button doesn't work? Two common suggestions are to update the iOS software or to restore the iPhone through iTunes. If you restore, select the option to set the device up as a new iPhone, so that you don't restore problematic settings to the phone. (And be sure to sync first.) These fixes can resolve software glitches that may be causing your troubles, but an issue with the Home button could just as likely be the result of a hardware problem.
If you suspect that hardware is the culprit, and your phone is under warranty (or if you don't mind paying for a repair), take a trip to the Apple store, where they can help you determine the cause of the problem. They won't always fix it for you, however: I accidentally dropped an iPhone 3GS in water last year, and although the phone eventually dried out and worked again, the Home button never recovered from taking a swim. Apple doesn't cover water damage (and the iPhone has a liquid indicator inside of it, so the techs can tell if it has taken a dunk). The company wouldn't fix my phone.
If you're particularly adventuresome, you can try to disassemble your iPhone and install a new Home button yourself. Your phone also may need a new connector to the Home button. You can find people who sell the buttons and cables online, but this is not a project for the timid. Cracking open your iPhone can ruin it, and even if it does survive, you will have voided any warranty you may have had. Then again, an iPhone without a Home button is fairly worthless, so what do you have to lose?
My iPhone's touchscreen is frozen
If your iPhone's touchscreen isn't responding, turn the phone off and then back on. If that doesn't work, reset it. I know you've heard this before (especially if you've read this whole article so far), but these two steps really can solve a host of iPhone problems. If they don't correct your problem, you'll want to update the iOS software in iTunes, and then you can try restoring the phone in iTunes; select the option to set the device up as a new iPhone so that you don't restore bad settings to the phone, and remember to sync first.
If the screen still isn't working, the problem may be with the hardware, not the iPhone's software. If you dropped your iPhone, the connector inside may need to be repaired or re-seated. You can find directions on how to do that online, but be warned that the procedure requires you to open up your iPhone and dig around inside. If your iPhone is under warranty, you're certainly better off taking it to an Apple store instead.
If the connector isn't the problem, the screen itself could be dead. You can order a new iPhone screen and replace it yourself following instructions from sites such as iFixit.com. And remember what I said about the warranty? That applies here, too.

Chiefs try to regroup after 3 straight lossesBy DAVE SKRETTA
The Associated Press | December 03,2013AP Photo
Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith watches from the sideline near the end of Sundays 35-28 loss to the Denver Broncos in Kansas City, Mo.KANSAS CITY, Mo. The line of demarcation might as well be the Kansas City Chiefs bye week.
In the nine weeks prior to taking some time off, the Chiefs rolled to a 9-0 record, an unimaginable turnaround from a 2-14 finish a year ago. The defense was holding opponents to just 13.3 points per game, and the offense was playing nearly mistake-free football.
Everything has changed in the last three weeks.
After a pair of losses to the Broncos sandwiched around a heartbreaking defeat to the Chargers, the Chiefs not only have watched the AFC West lead slip away, theyve also become the first team in NFL to win its first nine games and then lose three in a row.
Its safe to say it is gut-check time for the suddenly stumbling Chiefs.
I told the team this isnt college football. This isnt the end of the season, coach Andy Reid said. Now its important that we get ourselves back and ready to go, and finish the season like were capable of doing, and our guys, coaches and players, will do that.
Thats the kind of confidence that the Chiefs exuded prior to their bye week.
Its the kind of confidence thats been lacking of late.
Part of the reason for the abrupt turnaround in fortunes has been the schedule, which went from one of the easiest in the NFL to one of the most difficult.
The Chiefs first nine games were against teams that have a combined record of 41-67, while the Broncos and Chargers have a combined record of 25-11. That stretch earlier in the season included four straight games against last-place teams, and six straight against teams third or fourth in their respective divisions. Only the Cowboys (7-5) and Eagles (7-5) have winning records.
Kansas City has swapped out the Bills, which were quarterbacked by Jeff Tuel, for the Broncos, who are led by Peyton Manning. The Texans and quarterback Case Keenum have given way to the Chargers and Philip Rivers, who is having arguably the finest year of his career.
Theyve been coming out with game plans and theyre making plays when it counts, Chiefs safety Kendrick Lewis said. When the game is on the line, theyre making it count.
That also has been true.
Six of those first nine games were decided by 10 points or fewer, and the Chiefs won all of them. The last three have also been decided by 10 points or fewer, and theyve lost all of them.
First came a 27-17 defeat in Denver that ruined the Chiefs perfect season, and then came a length-of-the-field drive by Rivers in the final minute to give San Diego a 41-38 victory in a game that Kansas City thought it had won after a late touchdown of its own.
On Sunday, the Broncos scored 28 straight points spanning halftime to seize control, and then held on when Alex Smiths pass on fourth down into the end zone with 1:46 left fell incomplete.
We just have to play ball, Chiefs safety Eric Berry said. Nobody can have their head down. It was a tough game and they happen when you play against a good football team. We just have to go in with a sense of urgency and get some things done.
They might want to start with reassessing their defense.
A team that was once on pace to set an NFL record for sacks in a season with 35 through the first seven games has gotten to the quarterback just twice in the last five games. That lack of pressure has exposed a secondary that has been torched by Manning and Rivers the past few weeks.
The Chiefs allowed an average of 208.3 pass yards and 326.9 total yards during their nine-game win streak, and the result was 13.3 points per game. Theyre allowing an average of 371 pass yards and 484.3 total yards during their skid, and 34.3 points per game.
You know, earlier in the year we were coming out the other end of it, Smith said. We just have to continue to fight. I think this team has that kind of character.
For all its recent ills, Kansas City can still clinch a playoff berth Sunday with a win over downtrodden Washington and either a Miami loss at Pittsburgh or a Baltimore loss to Minnesota.
We still have everything we want in front of us, Smith said. Its no time to point fingers or do anything like that. Just continue to do what weve been doing.
Or more accurately, what they were doing the first nine weeks.

On Wednesday, EPA promulgated the final Utility MACT rule. I'm doubting that anyone reading this blog isn't already aware of the big news.
As seems frequently to be the case with EPA rules, this one, weighing in at 2.4MB and 1,117 pages, cannot easily be summarized here. In fact, the rule is so complicated – and controversial – that EPA had to generate four separate fact sheets to summarize the rule and its impacts: (1) Costs and Benefits (or, as EPA carefully puts it, "Benefits and Costs"); (2) Summary of the Rule; (3) Clean Air and Reliable Electricity (I wonder why EPA thought this one necessary?); and (4) Adjustments from Proposal to Final.

PvE servers you can still PvP but in areas just for that.
PvP servers have a new rule set.
As part of celebrating the release of Age of Conan we are happy to unravel a brand new PvP ruleset that has not previously been disclosed: The Culture PvP ruleset! Note that this new PvP server type is experimental and players on these servers must expect an ongoing change to the ruleset.
The goal of this PvP server-type is to stimulate war behind the three cultures of Cimmeria, Aquilonia and Stygia. As a player on a Culture PvP server, you are shielded from lone travelers of your own culture, however you may still group with any culture and form a group and attack anyone.
The Culture PvP ruleset is an evolving ruleset that will be tweaked and polished based on player-feedback in the months to come. Although it is, at least currently, possible to make guilds across cultures, pure culture groups and guilds will be endorsed on this server, and as such players on the Culture PvP servers must prepare that the future will hold continued changes to the ruleset.
We have changed to ruleset on two servers that were previously flagged as full PvP. The homes for the Culture PvP servers are:

CHIJMES is a beautifully structured historic building complex in Singapore that has been gazetted as a national monument. It once housed a Catholic convent school known as the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus (CHIJ, 圣婴女修院) and their convent quarters known as Caldwell House (古德威尔屋).
Chapel Architecture / History
The grand Anglo-French Gothic chapel was established with the support of the Catholic community in Singapore and beyond. Designed by Father Nain, the chapel is one of the most elaborate places of worship ever built in Singapore. The chapel was completed in 1904 and consecrated the following year.
A five-storey spire flanked by flying buttresses marks the entrance to the chapel. The 648 capitals on the columns of the chapel and its corridors each bear a unique impression of tropical floral and birds.
With a history of over 130 years, the complex is located at Victoria Street. It has been restored for commercial purposes, such as shopping, dining and an entertainment centre.

Hi, I've recently bought a Summit (truly happiness in a box ).
I had the opportunity to buy the 5650R center shaft upgrade with it, and after a couple of very light runs with it 100% stock (just to get used to the handling) I've done the installation of the new shafts.
The installation happened without any issues, but just when I was checking if everything was ok (by turning the wheels, turning one of them and holding the other to make the center shaft spin I noted what it seems to be a very slight mis-alignment between the output shaft of the transmission with the output shaft of the rear diferential, making the rear center shaft spin at a slight angle (or it came bent new, but I truly doubt this is the case).
My question is if this is known/normal/expected/unimportant or if I should investigate more and/or correct it.
Thanks. Any help is appreciated.

I am a strong supporter of the right to free speech guaranteed in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, a principle which is at the very heart of the liberties we enjoy in America. Nevertheless, I applaud the April 28 decision by the Board of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) to ban all political advertising on its buses and subways, rather than accede to a U.S. District judge's irresponsible ruling that the MTA must allow an inflammatory ad that defames Muslims and appears to incite violence against Jews. Hopefully, the decision by the MTA to take a necessary action that sadly limits political speech will trigger a reappraisal through which the American legal system begins to make a clearer distinction between free speech and hate speech.
Muslim-Jewish Relations
The FFEU has become the international address for Muslim-Jewish relations. Our Muslim-Jewish Programming takes place in over 30 countries and on all six populated continents through our signature program "The Weekend of Twinning."
Building off of The Weekend of Twinning, FFEU has initiated Muslim-Jewish Solidarity Committees across North America. These locally run and organized committees will stand up for the other, learn about the other, and host cultural and social events.
Standing Up for the Other
FFEU is the international address for Muslim Jewish Relations and the national address for Black-Jewish relations. We are committed to the belief that direct dialogue between ethnic communities is the most effective path towards reconciliation.
Black-Jewish Relations
The FFEU was founded in 1989 for the purpose of restoring the historic alliance between African and Jewish Americans which reached its strongest point during the American Civil Rights Movement.

Next Meeting: Thursday, May 21, 2015Location: West Pavilion at Drake Center, 151 West Galbraith Road. (More information about Drake Center and driving directions here.)
Speaker:Christopher Phillips, University of Cincinnati
Topic:North Star and Southern Cross: The Political War after the War in Ohio
Our understandings of our national past and present interpret a timeless border between North and South, with the Civil War as confirmation that distinct cultures on either sides of the Ohio River fought over separate devotions to slavery and freedom. In Ohio, politics straddled both a north-south and an east-west border during this war, and played out as a state deeply divided over the war's coming, emancipation, and the later Reconstruction amendments. This talk will explain how postwar Ohioans reconciled these divisions by using war politics as a wedge between parties and peoples. Situated as former westerners, the cultural politics of war memory and political positions forced residents of the state who had had different trajectories in wartime into new regional identities, evolving as Northerners and more complicatedly Midwesterners, by re-narrating the war and themselves.
Christopher Phillips is Professor of History and Department Head at UC. His six published books have focused variously upon slavery and freedom, emancipation, war, race, politics, and memory during and after the Civil War era, with particular focus on the Border States. His current book project, "The Rivers Ran Backward: The Civil War on the Middle Border and the Making of American Regionalism," will be published by Oxford University Press in October 2015. Since 2009 he has been appointed as a Distinguished Lecturer by the Organization of American Historians, and from 1999 to 2009, he served as co-editor of Ohio Valley History, a peer-reviewed, quarterly journal of regional history. He live in Glendale, Ohio, the nation's first planned community (1855), with his wife, Jill, and two sons, Grayson and Maddox.

|College Basketball Odds: Duke at Temple, Spread, Preview & Public Picks
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Wednesday, 09 January 2008 03:55
Trying to Regroup
Duke is trying to regroup before starting its ACC schedule. Practice often helps, but all it's done so far this week is leave the Blue Devils without their starting center.
With Brian Zoubek out indefinitely after breaking his left foot, the ninth-ranked Blue Devils look to bounce back from a sloppy game when they face Temple on Wednesday night in their final tune-up before ACC play.
Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Duke –12 point spread favorites (View College Basketball odds) for today's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 94% of bets for this game have been placed on Duke -12 (View College Basketball bet percentages).
After suffering its first loss of the season on Dec. 20 against then-No. 11 Pittsburgh, Duke (11-1) came off a long layoff to beat Cornell 81-67 on Sunday. Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski, however, was not happy with several miscues in that win, especially with ACC play beginning Sunday versus Virginia.
Krzyzewski felt his team wasn't aggressive enough on loose balls, and wasn't discussing its mistakes.
"It starts with guys like me ... to make sure and enforce that everyone's talking on the court," Duke senior guard DeMarcus Nelson said. "Talk is something you think is not a big deal, but it's huge in the game of basketball."
The Blue Devils were coming off a 16-day layoff - their longest in-season break since 1945-46 - which may partly explain their lack of focus. Duke was trying to correct its mistakes back at practice Monday when Zoubek got hurt, one day after making his second start of the season.
Zoubek likely won't require surgery, but it's uncertain when he will return. The 7-foot-1 sophomore broke the same foot during a pickup game in July, had surgery two days later and missed 10 weeks.
"This is a setback for Brian and for the team," Krzyzewski said. "He worked hard to recover from the injury over the summer and was beginning to solidify his role with the team. We have total confidence that Brian will recover from the injury and return as soon as he is physically able."
Zoubek, who started two of the last three games, is averaging 4.3 points and 3.7 rebounds and leads the team in field-goal shooting at 59.5 percent.
Duke's depth took yet another hit, with swingman Martynas Pocius undergoing season-ending ankle surgery Tuesday. Pocius, a junior reserve, averaged 4.0 points and 2.5 rebounds in four games. He originally injured his left ankle while playing in Lithuania over the summer and re-injured it Nov. 25 during a win against Eastern Kentucky.
The Blue Devils, however, remain one of the deeper teams in the country. They have four players with double-digit scoring averages.
Nelson, who is one 3-pointer shy of becoming the 19th Duke player to reach 100, is averaging a team-high 13.8 points and 6.2 rebounds. Blue Devils forward Kyle Singler, averaging 13.4 points, was named ACC rookie of the week for the third time after scoring 14 points against Cornell.
That duo will likely play a large role in trying to stop one of the country's top scorers in Temple's Dionte Christmas, who is tied for the Atlantic 10 lead with 20.9 points per game.
In his most recent outing, Christmas tied a season high with 32 points for the Owls (6-6) in an 86-69 loss to two-time defending national champion Florida on Dec. 29.
"Scoring 32 points and losing doesn't mean anything," said Christmas, who is averaging 6.5 rebounds and has made a team-high 38 3-pointers. "I would have felt better if I had scored two points in a win."
Christmas had a team-high 15 points against the Blue Devils on Jan. 2, 2007, but the Owls lost 73-55. Duke has won seven straight against Temple and leads the all-time series 16-9.

Upland Diner is conveniently located near Crozier Hospital and we stopped there for a quick meal. Rather grimy and the ventilation was poor. The food was not too good.

SEATTLE - The eight jurors assigned to the inquest into the shooting death of Canadian First Nations woodcarver John T. Williams by Seattle Police Officer Ian Birk will begin deliberations Wednesday.
Earlier Tuesday, Williams'older brother testified that the brothers were trained by their father to close their knives when they talked to people. Rick Williams demonstrated for an inquest jury how John T. Williams would have secured his knife by pressing the blade against a piece of wood to collapse the blade when he was addressed.
Williams was shot and killed by Seattle Police Office Ian Birk on Aug. 30 at the intersection of Boren and Howell in downtown Seattle. The King County Executive ordered an inquest into the shooting and that fact finding hearing is now underway.
Officer Birk's attorney raised questions about how much Rick Williams knew about his brother's behavior in the months before the shooting because Rick was out of town for the summer and hadn't seen his brother until either the morning of the shooting or the day before.
Are you aware that he (John T.) was increasingly psychotic in his behavior? heasked.
Ted Buck suggested that John T. Williams had become combative with police officers in the weeks before the shooting and even threatened an officer.
The case is expected to go to a jury late today or early tomorrow. The jurors are being asked to answer questions that will shed light on whether the fatal use of force was justified.

I removed one lower fastener and loosened two upper ones. I then lifted the assembly straight up and disconnected the wiring harness from the back of the fridge. I placed the unit on the kitchen counter top, switched over the plastic cover, wiring harness and ice level indicator bar. I then set the assembly back onto the upper screws, installed the lower one making sure the water tube fit in the guide hole. Plugged the wiring harness back in and waited for ice! Super simple.

Sempe Armagnac Extra Grande Reserve Prism Decanter
Armagnac from
Winemaker's Notes
Sempé Extra Grand Reserve is a special blend of Armagnacs, some of which are 50 years old, showcased in a specially commissioned Prism bottle. Pale amber in color with flecks of yellow and green, it has a smooth floral bouquet with a delicate hint of wood. Very smooth and pleasing on the palate, this Armagnac is wonderfully mature with a good balance of spirit and fruit. The packaging, created by renown perfume bottle designer Serge Mansau, features three sculpted brandy snifters, which intriguingly "disappear" when the Armagnac is poured.
Sempe Armagnac Winery
Armagnac is France's oldest eau de vie with the first written record of its existence dating back to 1411. Thus for a least 500 years, Armagnac has been produced in the heart of Gascony, land of the famous Three Musketeers and home of La Maison Sempé. Sempé is a distinguished family that can be traced back to the 14th century - the name evolved from the French "St. Pierre", bearer of the Keys to Heaven, which is the crest of the family. The name and the keys are registered and kept at the French National Library. Founded originally in 1936 by then sixteen-year-old Henri-Abel Sempé, the firm today operates under the new ownership of Jean Pierre-Thenon and continues to produce the highest quality brandies, exporting them worldwide.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Crisp
- Light to medium bodied wines that are high in acid and light to medium fruit. Typically no oak.
Fruity & Smooth
- Light to medium bodied wines with lots of juicy fruit, typically medium acid and medium oak.
Rich & Creamy
- Full bodied wines that have typically undergone malo-lactic fermentation and/or spent time in oak.

Bolts' Merriman eager for postseason action
San Diego The postseason lights are coming back on for Shawne Merriman.
The San Diego Chargers outside linebacker, nicknamed "Lights Out" for his hard hits, is eager for Sunday's divisional game against the New York Jets.
Merriman missed almost all the 2008 season, as well as San Diego's two playoff games, as he rehabbed from reconstructive left knee surgery.
"It was tough, man," Merriman said Friday. "It was one of the hardest things I had to do. My team made it without me, but I knew that I could be a big contributor out there. I know what I'm capable of bringing to a defense and what I'm capable of doing. So it kind of hurt that some of the things that happened, I wasn't able to go out and provide what I do best."
Without Merriman last year, the Chargers beat the Indianapolis Colts in overtime, then were manhandled in a loss at Pittsburgh.
This year, the Bolts (13-3) earned the AFC's No. 2 seed and a first-round bye. They go into their playoff opener with an 11-game winning streak.
Merriman was one of the Chargers who benefited most from the bye week. He had been bothered by plantar fasciitis and was held out of a win at Cleveland on Dec. 6 and also the regular-season finale on Jan. 3.
"I think the rest has been good," defensive coordinator Ron Rivera said. "As you game-plan, there's not that uncertainty as to whether or not he'll be out there or how long he's going to be there, so I'm pretty excited about his opportunity to be on the field."
Merriman wasn't as dominant this season as he rebounded from the knee surgery, then dealt with a groin injury and the plantar fasciitis. He finished with four sacks.
Still, he contributed to a Chargers defense that will face rookie quarterback Mark Sanchez and a Jets rushing attack that's ranked No. 1 in the NFL.
"I did what I had to do for this defense to be successful," Merriman said. "I was asked to do something that was different for me from what I'm accustomed to doing, and I did it - drop more into coverage, playing with my hand in the dirt. It's not just line up on the edge and just come off the edge all the time. That was normally what my role was, just moving around, coming off the end. That's not the case here anymore. So I was asked to do something different, and I did."
It's been an interesting year for Merriman.
He was arrested just before the season started after reality TV star Tila Tequila accused him of choking her and throwing her to the ground while she was trying to leave his home in suburban Poway. Merriman said he was trying to keep her from driving drunk.
The district attorney's office declined to charge Merriman.
The arrest brought some unwanted attention in the week before the opener. General manager A.J. Smith reportedly isn't thrilled with Merriman's extracurricular activities. Merriman and Tequila have since sued each other.

Tully's Conflagration of Hooplarious Oddities: March 4
I've been putting this off for a while, so now I shall put my less-than-perfect sketches on CA. So, here we go...
Don't ask me about the bride
A study of a portrait of Bob Hope by Norman Rockwell. Not particularly happy with it.. I think I'm going to give it another go and see if I can do it better.
Tattoo design for a friend of mine.
Random OCing with Inpho.
This was going to be my thunderdome submission in San Fransisco. Then all the polycounters wanted to go see the Zbrush demo (hey, it was catered!), so I missed it. Ah well.. next year hopefully.
Just a portrait..no reference.
Life drawing. Turned out as a pretty good likeness.
More to come!

Less than perfect doesn't mean they arent' beeeeeautiful! I haven't seen the Rockwell version of that Hope portrait, so I dunno if it was already exagerrated...but given the strenght of the rest of your stuff, I'll assume it is and not comment on it.
Everything else is just wicked!

Cool stuff.
Sorry we dragged you off to the ZBrush thing... I thought it was pretty interesting though... and hey, it had dinosaur!
What's with the bride?
February 23rd, 2005 #4
Loving the pencil works up there, would like to see some of those more in detail, with maybe a bit more contrast in them... Really dig the tattoo design and the thunderdome bit as well as the greyscale portrait there!
How about some color now?
www.hyver.com -()- sketch thread
February 23rd, 2005 #5
Excellent stuff!
You have a great soft rendering, very clean!
There is not really something to critizise... perhabs get a bit darker with your pencil...although it is not really necessary here!
February 25th, 2005 #6
Fukifino: It was a little exaggerated, though I messed up a lot on the nose and forehead. Rockwell was a genius, so it worked better when he did it. Thanks though!
MoP: Seeing Bay Raitt's stuff was worth it! I'm glad I went.. just sucks that we had to choose one or the other.
Hyver: Colour? Lemmie see what I can dig up...
Xaya: Yeah, I do have the tendency to go a little light on my pencils. If these were full renderings I'd be more careful, but as sketchbook stuff goes, I'm not too worried.
And now, some more...
A colour study for a painting I'm planning on getting done. I think it needs a bit more punch, so I'll do some more work on it.
Just a drawing for a sculpture I was going to do until I realised it wouldn't fit in my oven with the dimensions I wanted. It's currently in the process of being modelled in Maya.
Something I did a while back for that alternate Spiderman character thread. Almost everybody did venom. Carnage was always my favourite, but meh.
Evil fish. The top one reminds me of a coelocanth.
I forget why I drew this, but it came out fairly wel.
February 25th, 2005 #7
Some stuff here is brilliant. I dig the light in your b/w portrait,
small occasional issues with symmetry. Todays small color figure is excellent though. I love that it's so simple.

February 25th, 2005 #8
Hey, I hadn't seen that Carnage one before! Cool stuff... although I think his right leg should have been in a different position, his pose looks a little weird to me there.
Love the fish! Do they have... underwater weapons? Don't you go too near the trout!

Here are some new things.
Some character portraits from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I figured I'd better do some before the movie taints my perception forever.
Sketch for a hokey painting.
Doing some 3D modelling.. just some ideas for a costume for one I'm working on.
And lastly, a self portrait.
March 21st, 2005 #12
HHGTTG! Hooray!
Love those character drawings. The way you did Arthur Dent is pretty much exactly how I envisioned him, bonus points for you!
Ford Prefect is very cool too, great sense of depth and character. Personally I prefer fluffier towels though! His right hand looks really odd to me... like it's got no bones or something... then again, he is an alien, so I'll let you off! 8)
Pegasus + kid wearing blanket = hokey, maybe, but even hokey can work out if done right
I'm not sure about the wing position, because it looks like the horse is raising the right wing really high, while the left wing is in mid-flap... then again, what do I know about avian wing motion?
Good start on the costume design, I like the hairstyle but I think you could go for something even more extravagant in the clothing department... It just doesn't seem that "original" at the moment... try messing around with some more designs, look up some nice period costume reference and try to adapt it to some futuristic/fantasy setting (as you appear to be going for with the hair/headpiece dealie). It's not a bad costume design so far, but it's not really telling me anything about her character. Go nuts!
And hey, it's you! I can't crit that... you know what I think
Get thee to a hairdresser!
A nice update here. We approve!

You obviously know what you're doing. Very nice pencilrenderings. The balance between the more harsh strokes and softer ones are very well done.

Simply amazing work. You better hurry and get your 3d skills to this level. GO GO GO.
The woman in the dress with one shoe, the rose and a sword is easily my favorate. Wonderful shading and such nice facial features. Leave it to a woman to get such a natural beauty out of the female form without overdoing it.

Oh, I'm horrible with updates. I do work all the time, but does it ever seem to occur to me to stick it up here?
But an actual update! Colour stuff too. Yay.

Pricing not available
With new functionality for the Start button and separate experiences for desktop and tablet users, the Windows 8.1 update finally gives people what they want.
Pricing not available
If you're a dedicated Windows 8 hater, the update to Windows 8.1 isn't going to change your mind. For everyone else, this collection of tweaks, fixes, and new features is useful, but everything here should have shipped in the original version last year.
The next iteration of the software maker's operating system is slated to arrive in time for the summer.
Which has the most apps? Which has the coolest features? Which one is the best? The most popular streamers all have their merits, so we'll help you decide which box is right for you.
Not eligible for a free upgrade? The software maker reveals what a single license will cost for the newest version of Windows -- the same as Windows 8.
Users of the Home edition would not be able to defer automatic updates, according to Microsoft's Windows 10 specifications.
Not long after the leak appeared, Microsoft itself gave us the official release date for Windows 10. Look for it July 29.
For the die-hard Windows user, Microsoft will be releasing a preview version of Windows 10.

Could the Sorcerer Supreme finally be getting his fair shake at the big screen? Now, that Marvel's finally getting its ducks in a row with CAPTAIN AMERICA, IRON MAN, THOR and all the AVENGERS, I suppose it was only a matter of time before they started stirring DOCTOR STRANGE into their colossal cinematic cauldron. Deadline's just reported that Marvel's hired screenwriting duo Thomas Donnelly & Joshua Oppenheimer to write a script about the famous Stephan Strange. The pair's actually already had some experience with comic-based movie writing, having scripted the currently-shooting CONAN reboot as well as a draft of COWBOYS & ALIENS.
A DR. STRANGE movie's been in development hell so long that, well, it should be extending into all those other horrible realms that Nightmare, Dormammu, Mordo and so on like to inhabit. Names like Bob Gale, David S. Goyer, BLADE director Stephan Norrington and Guillermo del Toro have all been attached to this project, dating as far back as the year of my birth, 1986. Del Toro might sound like the best choice to direct this, actually, and, given that his schedule's cleared up after he parted ways with THE HOBBIT, he might actually be available to do it. I can see it… Dr. Strange and Hellboy certainly have similar vibes already. == TEASER ==
The funny thing is that a lot of you Comic Vine maniacs might not realize that there's actually already been a DR. STRANGE movie. It was a made-for-TV special starring Peter Hooten that aired on CBS in '78. Unfortunately, it didn't do well enough in ratings to warrant a continuing series, but the consensus seems to be that it was actually pretty well done for its time. I haven't seen it myself but, now, thanks to "mystic arts" of the internet, all you maniacs can watch the beginning below…
Update:Bleeding Cool mentioned that Patrick Dempsey apparently really wants to play Doctor Strange.

Songs heard around the world
CORPUS CHRISTI - It has been said that almost every minute, a Juan Gabriel song can be heard somewhere around the world.
For about 90 minutes tonight, that somewhere will be Corpus Christi when the six-time Grammy nominee returns to the American Bank Center Arena to perform romantic ballads, pop and ranchera music in the "La Gira de la Historia" tour.
Nicknamed the "Elton John of Latin America," Gabriel's voice has sold more than 100 million albums. Another 30 million records have been sold that include songs Gabriel produced or wrote for more than 700 artists.
Local recording artist Michelle, of Hacienda Records, covered Gabriel's "Se Me Olvido Otra Vez" for her album, "Fully Reloaded-Amor Perfecto."
"The beauty to that song is every time I perform it, everyone knows it and they sing it. It's just one of those songs that everyone loves," Michelle said.
"He's got incredible lyrics, great rhythm and he is so versatile in everything he does," she said. "I've seen him perform several times. Someday, who knows? Maybe I'll open for him or sing with him."
Gabriel's career in Latin music has spanned more than 35 years. He began writing music at age 13 and released his first album, which included the single "No Tengo Dinero," in 1971.
"I've always compared Juan Gabriel to Neil Diamond. He just gives 100 percent of himself," Michelle said. "He's an artist to see because he is a showman all the way."
Gabriel was the first international act audiences saw at the American Bank Center Arena, when he performed for a full-house crowd in April 2005.
