Archive for the 'Denver Colorado' tag
Denver, 1970s
Photographer Thomas J. Noel had an eye for all that Denver offered, from landmark architecture down to the low-rent flats and whiskey dives. His shots of the latter and of similar working-class establishments, as found on the Denver Public Library's Digital Collections, provide a colorful look not only at where blue-collar folks went to drown their sorrows, but also – thanks to their ground-level (as opposed to skyscraper) architecture – what they drove at the time. For today's carspotting post, we selected a handful of said photos from the Seventies, starting with Dan's Corner Tavern, above, at 5302 Brighton Boulevard, then moving on to the Aspen Motel at 2167 South Santa Fe Drive, the Shanty Bar at 151 South Broadway, the Big Chief Bottling Company in the 1500 block of Platte Street, and the Hangar Bar at 8001 East Colfax. What do you see here?
Denver, Colorado, 1948
Let's take on a bit of a challenge today, shall we? Normally, we try to focus on the 1950s and 1960s for our carspotting photos, figuring that there's much more diversity of automobiles from that period, but this photo of Broadway looking south from First in Denver – dated September 9, 1948 – from the Denver Public Library's digital collections seems to have variety in spades and plenty of clear details to help identify the vehicles. So what do you see here?
Denver, Colorado, 1960s
According to the Denver Public Library's Digital Collections, this undated photo shows the grand opening of a Belcaro King Soopers grocery store on Denver's Colorado Boulevard. Given that there are three King Soopers stores on that same road nowadays, and that the look of the store has certainly been altered drastically in the last half century (if it even remains in this location), it would take somebody far more familiar with Denver-area history than us to pinpoint the location. In the meantime, we can at least take a stab at identifying the cars in the photo. What do you see here?
Denver, Colorado, 1953
While plenty of photographs – including this September 1953 image of the Republic Building in downtown Denver, Colorado, which we came across in the Denver Public Library's photo archive – invite us to look upward at the grand architecture of a city, we're more inclined to look at ground level, where plenty of cars are parked on Denver's former Court House Square and Court Street. What do you see here?
Denver, Colorado, 1960s
Not only is Eaton Metal Products in Denver still in business nowadays, from the Google Street View of the company's York Street location, the company's buildings and signage that we see in this 1960s photo from the Denver Public Library's Digital Collections remain almost exactly the same. The parking lot in the foreground, however, has since been built upon, but back then contained a wide variety of cars and pickups. What do you see here?
Denver, 1982
Our recent string of snowy carspotting scenes has been missing something. Sure, they've featured messy roads and snow-silhouetted cars, but what we really need is more snow. Enough snow to constitute a snowpocalypse. Snow up to your kneecaps. Plow-disabling snow. Something like what we see in these two photos of Denver's Elm Street following a 1982 snowstorm, found in the Denver Public Library's digital collections. As we can tell from the Chevrolet Citation apparently stuck in the middle of the street in both photos, they're both looking the same direction, just from different spots along the block. What do you see here?
Denver, Colorado, 1966
Not sure what the special occasion was at this Spartan department store at 1955 South Sheridan Boulevard in Denver, Colorado, but from the November 5, 1966, date on the photo – as seen at the Denver Public Library's Digital Collections – we see that it's not a holiday that's brought out the cars (and trucks and motorcycle) that fill the Spartan parking lot. Grand opening, maybe? What do you see here?
America's oldest annual rally celebrates 60 years
Images courtesy MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre
Amateur motorsports in America got a huge boost in popularity in the years following World War II, thanks to the new popularity of British sports cars like the MG TC and Jaguar XK120. It's not surprising then to learn that the oldest continuously held road rally in the country is one that was founded by the British car enthusiasts of the MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre. On Friday through Sunday, June 8-10, this Denver, Colorado-based car club will commemorate the 60th "diamond" anniversary of the historic MG Car Club Road Rallye with events that include a driving tour, a time-speed-distance (TSD) rally and a car show.
MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre founder Hazel Hopkins Marble, at the 1994 event
The event grew out of the 1952 founding of the MG Car Club – Rocky Mountain Centre by former Glenwood Springs residents and MG enthusiasts Hazel Hopkins Marble and Dr. Robert Livingston.
The MG Car Club Road Rallye has traditionally been open to all motoring enthusiasts, so MGs haven't been the only cars to participate, as we see by the 1955 street scene, above, and 1958 photo, below. How many cars can you identify?
This year's event will bring more than 100 MG-driving car enthusiasts – as well as owners of other cars like Porsches, Mini Coopers, BMWs, Volkswagens and American muscle cars – through miles of beautiful alpine scenery near Glenwood Springs, including Glenwood Canyon, Independence Pass and the Grand Mesa, and will include stops at Glenwood Hot Springs and the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park.
From the club's press release for the event:
Events rev up on Friday, June 8, with a scenic road tour winding through canyons and over mountain passes between Denver and Glenwood Springs. Saturday's main event is the Rallye Glenwood Springs, a time-speed-distance challenge for novice and experienced drivers and navigators. On Sunday, Two Rivers Park is the setting for the MGCC Car Show and Funkhana, an obstacle course that tests driving skills.
Event chairman and club historian Alan Magnuson is a 28-year veteran of the Rallye Glenwood Springs and has many fond memories of previous rallies. "We experienced a cattle drive west of New Castle in 2001 that blocked the road during one of our events. The entire county road was filled to the horizon with a sea of cattle being herded from one pasture to another. The cattle, horses and cowboys too, all looked down at us sitting in our little MGB as they walked around our car. This is the true Wild West!"
Along with cattle herd hazards, drivers have encountered unpredictable weather conditions, including blinding hail storms on high mountain passes, and, in 2002, due to the Coal Seam fire, the Rallye was forced to terminate early. In addition to talking shop, it is memories and stories like these that are exchanged at the annual Rallye Glenwood Springs. "We come to enjoy the competition, the scenery, the automobile and the camaraderie," said Magnuson.
For more information on the event, visit MGCC.org.
Auction Pulse: Seized Ponzi fraud hoard includes Full Classic Auburns, Cord, Lincoln
1930 Lincoln Phaeton
Another name is joining Madoff and Mowen on the list 21st of century defrauders to have their pricey personal property auctioned off. Shawn Merriman extracted $20.1 million dollars from investors in the West and, like his peers in infamy, put much of his ill-gotten gains into physical property, including classic cars.
Unlike Madoff and Mowen, however, who with their gold-plated yachts and customized Chevelles had the discriminating taste of your crazy old neighbor who saves string, Merriman bought the good stuff. Think Old Masters quality art (like a Rembrandt), and Full Classics.
All four of the Full Classics in the sale are in mid-restoration and I don't know if he was actually restoring them himself or had enslaved someone to do them, but the sale also has a hi-boy roadster, four daily drivers and many restoration tools. There are lots of other items available in addition to the cars and art, as well: A serious motorcoach, hunting and camping gear; boat; motorcycles, snowmobiles and dirt bikes, trailers – a whole mess of stuff. Dickensheet is handling the sale in Denver on January 29. They didn't or perhaps couldn't ID the cars; I'll leave that to you. In addition to the '32 Hi-boy and 2006 Vantage, there's the 1930 Lincoln above, 1937 Cord, 1936 Auburn supercharged Cabriolet, and 1932 Auburn Phaeton.
Lost Dealerships roundup: Times Square Packard, AMC nameplates, Fords in the snow
Though Packard was based securely in the Midwest throughout its existence, the company apparently always maintained a presence in New York City. We already took a brief look at the most well-known NYC Packard dealership, at 1861 Broadway, but thanks to a recent Shorpy photo of Longacre Square (later Times Square), we see that there was a Packard dealership at 1540 Broadway, occupied by them from November 1904 to June 1907, when Albert Kahn built the more uptown location. (This location doesn't seem to be documented on PackardInfo.com.) A third location, Packard Uptown, supposedly at 3336 Broadway (though the addresses don't match up), can be seen in Flickr photos by Paul Lowry and baja_nyc.
UPDATE (4.February 2011): Looks like the location became a billiards hall by 1911.
Ian Webb's been occasionally sending me AMC nameplates that he's discovered in his research, including the three above. From the 1983 list of AMC dealerships, we can see that Pamby Motors in Ridgefield, Connecticut, was located at 36 Danbury Road (they still have a Jeep sign up!); Tysons actually had an address of 8448 Leesburg Pike (Route 7), Vienna (which seems to encompass Tysons Corner) (now Tysons Dodge Jeep); and that Osborn wasn't around in 1983, though there was a Northland AMC in Thornton, Colorado, at 1800 W. 104th (now Pro Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram).
From Gary Faules, a Flickr slideshow of old Ford dealerships. We plucked this shot of Geo. Walker Ford just for the visual of a Mustang braving the winter of 1969, but user Boss Mustang, who provided the photo, didn't include the location of the dealership. I'm rather certain that the proprietor didn't have anything to do with George W. Walker, Thunderbird designer.
Finally, while we're on the topic of Ford dealerships, our friend Geoff Hacker's been researching a fiberglass car called the Navajo, which he was told was marketed out of a Ford dealership located at 1871 Broadway in New York City (practically next door to one of the Packard dealerships discussed above). So far, Geoff's been unable to track down the name of that dealership. Any Big Apple residents recall it at all?

The beginning of the most recent bombcast got me thinking. When will we see "From the makers of ... " or "Tim Schafer presents ... " on the covers of video games?
Video Games is really the only medium that doesn't have an emphasis on the artists behind the games. People know certain developers, but why not the project leaders?
The way things are now is like if people knew what studio payed for a film, but not who directed it.

text: Conflict ConflictLivingHealthAfrica News Desk on Jun 10, 2012 @ 7:16 AMJun 10, 2012 @ 7:16 AM PublishedChildren in west Africa forced to eat locusts, World Vision saysA young refugee from northern Mali looks out from her tent inside the UNHCR Mangaize refugee camp, 100 miles north of Niamey, on June 2, 2012.Children in famine hit west Africa are eating locusts to survive as a food crisis worsened, World Vision has said.In a news release, the humanitarian agency said the crop-destroying insects were already near the Algeria-Libya border and threatening to destroy remaining crops in the drought-stricken region.In its own news release, the UN warned that croplands in Niger and Mali were at imminent risk from Desert Locust swarms moving southward from Algeria and Libya.Locust had been sighted in northern Mali, already hard-hit by conflict and food insecurity, Voice of America reported."How many locusts there are and how far they move will depend on two major factors — the effectiveness of current control efforts in Algeria and Libya and upcoming rainfall in the Sahel of West Africa," the UN release quoted Senior Locust Forecasting Officer with the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Keith Cressman as saying.He said Algeria and Libya would have had been able to prevent the southward movement of locusts, were it not for insecurity along both sides of the border caused by armed groups including Al Qaeda's north African wing (AQMI).The proliferation of arms after the uprising in Libya, when led to Muammar Gaddafi's ouster, had further complicated the issue.More from GlobalPost: Locusts from Libya threaten Mali and Niger"This means that in the case of Niger, the [response] teams in the north are going to be accompanied by the army to ensure their safety but in case of northern Mali, I don't think the teams would be able to access that area at all," Cressman told Reuters by phone from Rome.Reuters cited the FAO as warning that about 18 million people across eight countries in West Africa were already facing a hunger crisis due to a combination of drought, high food prices and conflict in the Sahel region – a semi-arid belt of land south of the Sahara desert."This [locust] invasion from Algeria and Libya is worrying because it coincides with the planting of this season's crops in the Sahel where people are already vulnerable and they cannot take any other disruption of their planting cycle," Reuters quoted Cressman as saying. Equipment to control the swarms has been looted by armed groups who recently seized parts of northern Mali, VOA wrote, citing Oumar Traoré, head technician with Mali's locust control center.The center stored most of its equipment in a warehouse in the northern town of Gao.Meanwhile, World Vision Australia spokeswoman Anthea Spinks told Australian Associated Press that: ''We've begun hearing reports of young children hunting and surviving off insects as food rations in their village or community run dry."These are heartbreaking stories of survival which highlight the plight of millions of children in west Africa."

'Barangay polls just as important'
Voters may tend to take the coming barangay and youth elections lightly as they may deem them to be insignificant compared to national and local elections.
"(The fact is) the barangay elections are very important," said former Ambassador Henrietta de Villa, chair of the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV), in a radio interview here in Cotabato City on Friday.
The PPCRV had begun preparations for a massive voter education campaign for the barangay and youth elections in October throughout the country, but particularly in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
De Villa said the barangays were the smallest government unit but they comprised the largest political front in the country.
"We are now preparing modules as part of the PPCRV education and information campaign," she said.
But why in the ARMM?
De Villa said it was a fact that the ARMM provinces of Maguindanao, Lanao del Sur, Basilan, Sulu and Tawi-Tawi were notorious for election-related violence and fraud.
Meanwhile, De Villa said she believed there was a need to revisit the law on the Sangguniang Kabataan.
"The SK has become the breeding ground for political dynasties in many parts of the country," she said. Edwin Fernandez, Inquirer Mindanao

Thread: CastorFiber's Digital Sketchbook
April 6th, 2009 #1
CastorFiber's Digital Sketchbook
Hi everyone,
I recently bought a wacom after wanting one for years and since I got it I have been drawing almost every day. (padding myself on the back)
I am taking some artclasses (absolute beginner) at my local university at night and I really want to get better at drawing and I want to learn how to paint and learn about color and so on.
The reason for starting this skecthbook is mainly to get some feedback, crits and perhaps some tips on how to get better.
My scanner don't want to work on vista 64bit so at first all I have to show you is digital stuff, you'll have to hold out for my loomis:es.
I would love your thoughts on some of these skecthes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks for looking.
My eyes, making faces...
This is me, same deal except I hade the photo on my cellphone.
This is my brother or rather supposed to be. Its drawn from a photo - Its hard work to flip between photoshop and the photo, I need to get another monitor.
Me again, I took a photo under a lamp to get some shadows but I got serious "headglare" instead. well, well...
This is some studies, you have probably seen the motifs before... B. Hogarth.
Drawn from life, had it at my desk so I painted it then I ate it.
Some random geezer, from imagination.
This could be the first "pretty girl" i ever painted. Hope the next one looks better...

You have a very unique style, a lot of depth and "chunky" characters. i mean that in a good way. Good to see your refining it as well as branching off.
Are you using a photoshop blur filter for some of the effects? it seems very clean
If so, try just using looser smoother brushes (does that even make sense lol), it might give it a more natural effect to go with your loose sketchy style of building depth.

Thanks man, I use the blurtool in most cases but i have used the filter to... "melt" strokes together. When you say softer brushes do you mean a brush with softer edges of more opaque or...
Thanks, I started to think I wouldn't get any comments at all.
Its hard to draw anything inside in sweden today... the weather is seriously nice.
April 20th, 2009 #6
Trying softer brushes, any tips are very epriciated. Thanks for looking.
April 23rd, 2009 #7
Tjenare, tackar för ditt besök i min sb! Testa använd den hårda penseln också, lek med uhm, edges. Typ denna, det blir lite jobbigt att titta på den när den är så suddig, lite skarpa kanter lite här och där hade inte varit fel. Angående din fråga. Blocket är egentligen grått, på scannern ser det mer brunt ut, men det är ett ganska billigt block, är inte så noga. Sen vanlig blyerts och vita higlights med vit kol. På återseende!

Aww, that's unfortunate he didn't like it. Thanks for stopping by my book by the way! And I really like the self portrait of you that you used for your avatar. It's very "grand theft auto." I like the angry face too! More facial expressions pleeeeaase

Great portraits! And Im glad to hear you're pushing yourself to use your new Wacom tablet .. I need to do the same
The landscape you did is very nice, but the image itself is a little big .. try scaling it down a bit more for the web so we can see everything.
I really like the bell pepper drawing, you did a great job on that!
Keep up the drawing ... and keep up the posting!

Wow, comments! Happy day.
Artangela - Thanks for your comments, there is more expressions on the way, rest assured.
Zenobia - Thanks, I like using the wacom so much it must be bad for me.
I did some lifedrawing in coal the other day and had so much fun so coal is a contender (post some pictures of that later on) but for now its all wacom for me. I removed that big image and will post it again in a better size, sorry about that guys. I admit it, im lazy.
April 25th, 2009 #12
I'm not going to pretend I know what I am doing but... I downloaded some photos and tried to copy or rather sketch them.
Thoughts, tips, tricks? Whats the trick with values? I have such a hard time with that...
And here is the landscape from before, new and hopefully better size.
April 25th, 2009 #13
I'm updatin' the hell out of this sketchbook...
This is a photo from my cellphone while I am drawing a sculpture I did a couple of months ago in, its stoneware clay and concrete....
And this is the sketch... 30 minutes, tops. Had fun doing it but I think I overworked it, I liked it better when it was simpler.
Thanks for looking.

The movie stills are nice and they are a good way to learn some fast and value focused sketching. That said the values are actually very good, I just think that some of your borders could be sharper. Your self portraits are very nice and that sclupt is aweseome. I love the face, butthe digital study needs more work I think. Valuewise you can push it!

Hey man. Thanks for commenting my SB. Some cool stuff you got here. Looks like you have a pretty good understanding of anatomy (from sculpting?) but need to get used to work with a tablet. Maybe you should try and look up some theory on edges (when to use hard/soft edges and such), if you haven't done so already. There are probably some threads on these forums about it, otherwise google is your friend
Oh btw, I answered your question in my sketchbook (link below).
Keep up the good work

Janos, erter - thanks for you comments.
Janos - Perhaps I'll try to push that sculpt-drawing a bit more.
Erter - Yes, I have a lot to learn when it comes to painting in general, photoshop and wacom. I have only had the wacom for about a month or so - slowly but surely, I hope.
And thanks again for that answer in your SB.

Gotta say I really like your style here - Your first 3 here - the pencil drawn look with color, messing with some focus too - I really like it!
I don't think you are doing anything wrong - I think you are doing exactly what you need to be doing. Drawing every day - experimenting with color, light, style - heck, that's all there really is to it. My only suggestion (speaking from my experience so far) just try to keep a balance between drawing from your imagination and from life. I've been hammering on drawing from life/observation, pics, etc... and now I'm trying to get back in my brain/imagination (honestly it's a bit of a struggle )
=Anyway - enough rabble - not to get all preachy - Just keep practicing - every day - you will look back and be amazed at your progress.
Stuff is looking great! Keep posting Castor! I'll be back

Council rejects RTC proposalPublished 11:11am Tuesday, April 3, 2012 Updated 11:40am Tuesday, April 3, 2012
After a long discussion in closed and open session on Monday night, the Fergus Falls City Council unanimously rejected developer Geitso Export Management's proposal to repurpose the Kirkbride building into a multi-use facility called the Global XChange Village. However, the council left the door open for Geitso CEO Atul Wahi —and other developers who didn't submit final proposals in the city's recent Regional Treatment Center redevelopment campaign — to return with redevelopment plans as the city looks at the next step for the building.
At a work session before the council meeting, Kent Mattson, special advisor on the RTC, reiterated that the city had asked Wahi and Geitso to provide information in multiple categories by April 1: what Geitso's financial status was, what kinds of partners or financial backing the project had, what was the likelihood that Geitso would be able to front $5 million in a security deposit on the project, and which buildings on the RTC campus would not be essential to historical preservation.
The result?
"I think he has shown you he's got a high level of interest in moving forward with the project, but nothing in the way of anything that would allow you to objectively judge whether or not he is financially qualified to do this," Mattson said.
Wahi, who was at Monday's meeting, did provide non-essential building information and a limited amount of equity information, some of it confidential. But on the whole, said Mattson, Wahi did not provide the information asked for by the council, not even anything as basic as a tax document or any sort of substantive financial statement on Geitso.
During the actual meeting, the council met in closed session, not inviting Wahi to join them, for several minutes before returning to the council chamber. They quickly made it known that they would take a multi-path approach of rejecting Wahi's proposal, seeking information about other proposals for the property (including another Wahi proposal, should he make one), and beginning demolition discussions and plans – likely focusing first on demolishing buildings deemed non-essential to the RTC's historical integrity.
What followed was more than an hour of back and forth discussion, with residents and Wahi claiming that the city was not making it easy to start an RTC project and the council members saying that they couldn't move forward with the plan until Wahi gave them what they asked for.
"From what I've been able to review, which is everything you have given, I don't believe you have any assets, I don't believe your company has any assets, I don't believe you have the ability to post any amount of money to the city personally so that the taxpayers are protected if you fail," said Alderman Jay Cichosz.
Though the council vote was unanimous, Mayor Hal Leland disapproved of the decision.
"I do want to say thank you for putting forth an extremely fine effort with a great vision to try and redevelop the RTC," he told Wahi, adding that the council had put too many roadblocks in front of potential developers and encouraging Wahi to come back with another proposal.
"I will come back tomorrow," Wahi replied with a smile.
Several council members emphasized that their decision to reject the proposal does not mean that the RTC will be bulldozed. There will be a work session before the April 16 meeting to discuss the building's future.
"There has not been any discussion that I have been involved in where we've talked about what's going to happen to the RTC if the (request for proposals) doesn't go through," said Eric Shelstad. "So, in spite of what everybody's heard, nothing's been talked about. Nothing."

Iraqi PM's bloc wins most parliamentary seats
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki moved closer to winning a third term Monday as his Shiite-dominated political bloc emerged firmly in first place in the country's first parliamentary elections since the U.S. military withdrawal in 2011. The challenge now for al-Maliki is to build a ruling coalition as violence rages and instability grows.
Rival Shiite blocs were the next two top vote-getters, with Sunni blocs trailing as the country grows increasingly polarized along sectarian and ethnic lines.
The showing increased the likelihood that Iraq's next government could rely on an even narrower Shiite base than the current one, which Sunnis see as biased against their sect and Kurds deem as hostile to their efforts to carve out greater autonomy in the north.
Al-Maliki's State of Law bloc was never expected to secure a majority of 165 seats in the 328-member parliament. He will still need to approach other parties to piece together a broader majority coalition to get the first crack at forming a government as violence rages and instability grows.
Still, the 92 seats his bloc walked away with increase the 63-year-old premier's chances of holding onto the post he first ascended to in 2006 from relative obscurity.
The parliamentary election was the third since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that removed dictator Saddam Hussein's Sunni-led regime and brought the long-oppressed Shiite majority to power. It came at a perilous moment for Iraq, with the country sinking back into a brutal cycle of bloodshed that claimed more than 8,800 lives last year alone.
The resurgence of sectarian violence, which nearly tore Iraq apart in 2006 and 2007, is being fueled both by deep-seated divisions within Iraq and the 3-year-old civil war in neighboring Syria.
Iraq's Sunni minority feels increasingly marginalized by al-Maliki's government since he cracked down on a protest movement demanding reforms last year.
Islamic militants, meanwhile, have seized control of the city of Fallujah and other pockets of the Sunni-dominated Anbar province west of Baghdad, and carry out frequent and carefully orchestrated mass-casualty attacks in the capital.
"For the Sunnis, the election results were unsatisfactory and they were below our expectations. I think that the violence in Anbar province has played a role in this electoral disappointment. Many Sunni voters were not able to cast their ballot because of the violence in Anbar," Sunni lawmaker Raad al-Dahlaki said. "The next phase in Iraq will be a difficult one because now we have a lot of people who lost hope in real change."
More than 9,000 candidates from across Iraq battled for seats in the April 30 election. Electoral officials reported that 62 percent of the 22 million eligible voters cast ballots — the same turnout as in the last parliamentary elections in 2010.
The results released Monday by the Independent High Electoral Commission showed that al-Maliki's State of Law won the top spot in 10 of 18 provinces.
Powerful Shiite cleric Ammar al-Hakim's al-Muwatin bloc came in second with 29 seats, followed by firebrand Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's main al-Ahrar bloc with 28 seats. Two smaller parties of Sadrist supporters drew a combined six additional seats, and will likely team up with al-Ahrar in a broader coalition.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — The Punxsy boys' track and field team is off to the races, and with a pair of dual meet wins — 93.5-56.5 over Hollidaysburg and 105-45 over ECC — things are looking bright for the Chucks so far.
"Overall, we got off to a good start," Punxsy head coach John Smith said. "We had a lot of kids scoring, and all of the teams were glad to get one under their belts."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With some mechanical difficulties preventing Hollidaysburg's girls' track team from making the trip to Punxsy, the pair of dual meets the Lady Chucks had scheduled for Tuesday turned into a single dual meet against Elk County Catholic, and the Lady Crusaders earned an 87-63 victory over Punxsy in the season opener.
Despite the final result, Punxsy head coach Barry Young was pleased with his squad's performance against a difficult ECC team.

A protest in the rhythm of carnival brought the forests closer to the city and gathered thousands of people in the famous Copacabana beach on the morning of Sunday 19th of June to dance and sing for a greener Brazil.
Following the recent approval of a new Forest Code in Brazil, musicians took to the streets.The idea came from a group of musicians, used to bringing together crowds during Carnival in the traditional streets parades of Rio de Janeiro. They wrote a manifesto asking the Congress and the president to not accept destructive changes in the forest legislation. This was the first united and political movement in the history of Brazil's street carnival bands.
On May 24th, the Brazilian House of Deputies approved a new project of forest law that might replace the existing one, increasing the area available for "legal" deforestation across the country and giving general amnesty to all historical illegal deforestation. This approval could have extensive impacts on the country's commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions through an 80% cut in deforestation by 2020.
Greenpeace was present at the musical protest in the shape of a very creative group of trees, giving out little green banners with the saying "Dilma, stop the chainsaw" to people. Soon, the banners covered the whole scenario.
The majority of the Brazilian population is against the Forest Code forced by the agribusiness lobby in the Congress. Now they want to be heard. In a public survey released recently by the Datafolha Institute, 79% of the participants said they were against the new forest law.

Hooray for the people of Brazil trying to stop such mindless deforestation in a place of incredible natural wonder.

It is just a few months before Christmas and we are still clueless on what gift to buy for Jacobo. We wanted to buy a toy for him as kids just love toys but our house is full of toys already so my husband is asking me to look for other options.
Seeing how much our son loves music, we are thinking now to get him a traveler guitar as our Christmas gift for him. He loves to sing and dance and he loves musical instrument as he always plays with his sister's violin and drum set so maybe it is time that he gets a musical instrument of his own.
The coming months will be busy for family gatherings and school activities so hopefully we will have the time to go shopping for gifts for Jacobo soon.

|NFL Week 10 Odds We Pick The Winner of Raiders vs. Chiefs
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Sunday, 15 November 2009 10:00
Raiders vs. Chiefs Pick
Two struggling AFC West rivals clash at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum on Sunday when the Oakland Raiders host the Kansas Chiefs at 4:05PM ET.
The Chiefs lost to the Jaguars 24-21 as a 7-point underdog in Week 9, while the combined score went over the posted total of 41.5 points. Matt Cassel threw for 262 yards with two touchdowns for Kansas City and the newly acquired Chris Chambers caught three passes for 70 yards and two touchdowns.
The Raiders were off last week, but lost to the Chargers 24-16 as a 16-point underdog in Week 8. The combined score in that game went under the posted total of 41 points, while JaMarcus Russell threw for 109 yards with an interception for Oakland. Justin Fargas finished with 59 yards and a touchdown on 18 carries in the loss.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL.com have made the Raiders 2-point home favorites over the Chiefs in Week 10. The over/under total for this game has been set at 36.5 points.
The Chiefs have dominated the recent trends in this matchup, going 5-0 in their last five games when playing on the road against Oakland. Kansas City is also 5-0 straight up in its last five games when playing on the road against Oakland.
Both of these teams are bad, but we'll stick to the recent history to help us make this pick. Kansas City is 7-3 straight up in its last 10 head-to-head matchups with Oakland and has beaten the Raiders the last four seasons on the road.
Some may argue that without Larry Johnson, the Chiefs don't stand a chance. But LJ wasn't doing anything before he was released and brought little to the table so his absence won't affect the outcome in this one.
We expect an ugly, low-scoring affair in this one and suggest taking the Chiefs +2 and the under 36.5 The total has gone under in six of Oakland's last seven games when playing at home against Kansas City.
Our NFL Week 10 Free Pick for this matchup is: KANSAS CITY CHIEFS +2 and UNDER 36.5.

In an April 2 speech, World Bank President Jim Yong Kim set out the ambitious goal of ending extreme poverty within a generation.[1] Outlining a bold development agenda in advance of the World Bank–IMF spring meetings from April 19 to 21, Kim emphasized the importance of fostering "inclusive growth" and building "a science of delivery for development."

On April 16, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, president of Dartmouth College, was elected as the next president of the World Bank. Kim, a physician with a background in public health, prevailed after an unusual race contested by two highly regarded economists from Nigeria and Colombia. Kim's background raises plenty of questions regarding his suitability for the job and particularly his…

Abstract: Multilateralism is not an end in itself. It is one of many foreign policy tools, admittedly a very important one, in the diplomatic kit. For the United States, multilateralism faces its greatest challenge at the United Nations, where the all-too-frequent clash of worldviews between liberty and authoritarian socialism has stymied multilateralism more than…

The UK Royal Air Force has rehearsed for part of its role in the Royal Wedding celebrations in London tomorrow, with four of its aircraft having performed a practice sortie over its Coningsby base in Lincolnshire on 27 April.
Two Panavia Tornado GR4s from Coningsby-based 41 Sqn were involved in the formation flight, along with a pair of Eurofighter Typhoons from 6 Sqn, ordinarily based at RAF Leuchars in Scotland.
"The squadron have been very busy over the last few years and this is an excellent reward for their hard work," says Wg Cdr Richard Davies, officer commanding 41 Sqn.
Flying in a box formation (above), the strike aircraft will be flown over Buckingham Palace at 13:30 local time on 29 April, "weather permitting". Both types are currently involved in combat action over Libya as part of NATO's Operation Unified Protector, with Tornado GR4s also deployed in Afghanistan.
The fast jet formation will follow a lead group drawn from the RAF's Coningsby-based Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, comprising an Avro Lancaster bomber flanked by a Hawker Hurricane and Supermarine Spitfire.
The BAE Systems Hawks of the RAF's Red Arrows will not be involved in the flypast, as the team is involved in its pre-season work-up before performing its first display in Crete on 22 May.

The Christian Science Monitor reports that Navajos are upset with the Forest Service recent approval of a plan to use recycled sewage water for snow making at the Arizona Ski Bowl. 14 tribes have opposed the move and there were 10,000 comments before Cocincino Supervisor Nora Rasure made the annoucement. The Snowbowl occupies just 777 acres in a mountain forest covering 74,000 acres – 1 percent of which is directly impacted by skiing. The are 400 ski related Flagstaff jobs supporting the 150,000 annual visitors. The Navajo compare the San Francisco Mountains to the National Cathedral. In another related battle Devil's Tower in Wyoming is considering renaming the land "Bear Lodge" — its traditional name.

Re: HMS Bounty in trouble...
Ok, here is how I see the half time report going.........
Critics of the Captain and Bounty have found and posted several first hand accounts of the voyage and condition of the ship, letters from professional members of the Tall Ship Community, media interviews, official Bounty web pages, tracking of the boat's path, etc, and have found the preponderance of this evidence to be convincing of some level of wrong doing and criticism.
Supporters of the Captain dispute the validity or applicability of all of the above mentioned references and have offered no contradicting evidence of their own.

Syrian rebel military leader rejects new PM
BEIRUT The head of the Syrian opposition coalition's military branch has refused to recognize the body's new prime minister, saying he was not properly elected.
Louay Almokdad, aide to Gen. Salim Idris, told The Associated Press by phone Sunday that the rebel Free Syrian Army would not recognize the U.S.-educated IT expert chosen last week to head a rebel interim government.
Almokdad said Ghassan Hitto was elected without the support of prominent Syrian opposition figures and that a recognized prime minister must have broad support.
Hitto received 35 out of 48 votes cast by the 63 active members of the opposition Syrian National Coalition last week.
Many prominent opposition figures boycotted the vote, saying Hitto was unknown and backed by outside powers like Qatar and the Muslim Brotherhood.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
The leader of the Western-backed Syrian opposition coalition resigned Sunday, citing what he called the lack of international support for those seeking to topple President Bashar Assad.
The resignation of Mouaz al-Khatib deals a blow to the most credible body seeking to represent the opposition, which remains deeply divided and continues to struggle to present a united front two years into Syria's bloody uprising.
Al-Khatib, a respected preacher who has led the Syrian National Coalition since its creation late last year, said in a statement posted on his Facebook page that he was making good on a vow to quit if certain undefined "red lines" were crossed.
"I am keeping my promise today and announcing my resignation from the National Coalition so that I can work with freedom that is not available inside the official institutions," he said.
He also blamed world powers for providing insufficient support for the rebel cause and complained that many "international and regional parties" insisted on pushing the opposition toward dialogue with the regime. Most opposition leaders and activists say Assad's regime has killed too many people to be part of a solution to the conflict.
"All that has happened to the Syrian people - from destruction of infrastructure to the arrest of tens of thousands to the displacement of hundreds of thousands to other tragedies - is not enough for an international decision to allow the Syrian people to defend themselves," the statement said.
Al-Khatib was chosen to serve as president of the Coalition, which was formed in November under international pressure to serve as the opposition's official liaison with other countries and coordinate anti-Assad forces inside and outside of Syria.
Despite electing a new, U.S.-educated prime minister to head a planned interim government last week, the Coalition has failed to establish itself as the top rebel authority on the ground in Syria, where hundreds of independent rebel brigades are fighting a civil war against Assad's forces.
The Coalition did not immediately respond to al-Khatib's resignation.
Al-Khatib's spokesman, Ali Mohammed Ali, confirmed the authenticity of the statement in a phone call with The Associated Press. He declined to discuss any issues inside the Coalition that could have influenced al-Khatib's decision.

Taio Cruz - Fast Car
Artist: Taio Cruz
Producer: Max Martin and Klas Åhlund
Album: TY.O
Avg Rating: 2.4 ( 10 votes )
Now that singer Taio Cruz has finally recovered from that Hangover with Flo Rida, the Pop Prince is back on our pages thanks to his latest single Fast Car. While the London native's past Booth-featured releases have boasted guest appearances from big named artists like Ludacris and David Guettta, here Cruz chooses to roll solo. Fast Car ignites at a much slower rate then we're used to from the singer, who belts out his vocals with the backing of light strings, but things immediately speed up and morph into a bouncy club-ready tune. This is thanks to producers Max Martin and Klas Åhlund, whose upbeat boardwork is a nice marriage to the singer's fist pump-worthy hook. Cruz' TY.O album remains without a release date, but with this latest single fans are hopefully a little closer to getting their hands on the long-awaited project.

Buddy Guy: Can't Quit the Blues
Airs Friday, February 15 at 10 p.m. Brand new one-hour music intensive radio special features legendary bluesman Buddy Guy in his own words and music. Buddy Guy's own comments come from an exclusive interview session, and include many recollections and insights that will heard on your station for the first time.
Hosted by journalist Anthony DeCurtis, this program also features 15 classic tracks from throughout Guy's career. Buddy Guy tells his own story, looking back on his life and career as only he can. He begins the story with his poor, sharecropping roots in Lettsworth, LA, and guides up through all his stops along the way to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame - the first time he met the blues on a John Lee Hooker record, the birth of his trademark guitar style while regularly jamming for customers at a gas station, his explosion on the Chicago blues scene, his influence on many of rock's great guitarists (Clapton, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Rolling Stones, John Mayer and many more), and much more.
Throughout "Can't Quit the Blues," Buddy Guy opens up and reveals himself as a man with a soul as great as his musical skills. He is extremely grateful to all those who helped him along the way, and always happy to share his knowledge with those inspired by him. At 70 years-old, he continues to live a great life, always thankful of how he came to be one of the world's great blues guitarists. "If I had my life to live over," he says, "I would come back the same road that I came and pick up the acoustic guitar and hope to make somebody happy and smile." * Host: Anthony DeCurtis (Rolling Stone) * Producer: Joyride Media (Paul Chuffo, Joshua Jackson)
