Now from his breast into his eyes the ache
Of longing mounted, and he wept at last,
His dear wife, clear and faithful, in his arms,
Longed for as the sun warmed earth is longed for by a swimmer
Spent in rough water where his ship went down
Under Poseidon's blows, gale winds and tons of sea.
Few men can keep alive through a big surf
To crawl, clotted with brine, on kindly beaches
In joy, in joy, knowing the abyss behind:
And so she too rejoiced, her gaze upon her husband,
Her white arms round him pressed as though forever.
~Homer, The Odyssey
Man with wooden leg escapes prison. He's caught. They take his wooden leg away from him. Each day he must cross a large hill and win a wide river to get to the field where he must work all day on one leg. This goes on for a year. At the Christmas party they give him back his leg. Now he doesn't want it. His escape is all planned. It requires only one leg.

Do You Need Me? I Am There
Do you need Me? I am there.
You cannot see Me, yet I am the light you see by
You cannot hear Me, yet I speak through your voice.
You cannot feel Me, Yet I am the power at work in your hands
I am at work, though you do not understand My ways.
I am at work, though you do not recognize My works
I am not strange visions. I am not mysteries.
Only in absolute stillness, beyond self,
Can you know Me as I am,
And then but as a feeling and a faith.
Yet I am there. Yet I am here. Yet I answer.
When you need Me, I am there.
Even if you deny Me, I am there.
Even when you feel most alone, I am there.
Even in your fears, I am there.
Even in your pain, I am there.
I am there when you pray and when you do not pray
Though your faith In Me is unsure,
My faith in you never wavers,
Because I know you, because I love you.
Beloved I am there.

Dimensions of Love
Some people come into our lives and quickly go.
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon.
They stay in our lives for awhile, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never ever the same.
~ by Flavia Weedn
Since love grows within you, so beauty grows.
For love is the beauty of the soul.

Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration -- of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.
More than anything else today, followers believe they are part of a system, a process that lacks heart. If there is one thing a leader can do to connect with followers at a human, or better still a spiritual level, it is to become engaged with them fully, to share experiences and emotions, and to set aside the processes of leadership we have learned by rote.

I apologize for this and hope I can make up for it when I get back to the main city and find a faster and cheaper connection. Please feel free to forward this message...or parts of it...to anyone I have left out, which is a bajillion people.

Professor McDonald,
Thank you for sending the letter of recommendation. I greatly appreciate it. Please let me know how your vacation went, when you have the chance. Also, read below if you would like to know how mine is doing. Thanks again!
Dean Cloke,
Thank you also for the letter of recommendation. I actually have heard a lot about the Corcoran's art program from the people here(a lot of them are from
Take care,
ok, now for the good stuff
Hello All,
I am sorry for those who are worried about me that this email is arriving so late in my trip. I would have sent an email yesterday, but after the flooding of the town, the one internet connection here broke and no one knew where internet was in the next village over (or at least it seemed they did not know---my Hindi is only slowly improving).
So, how is
but, I would rather tell you that
India is fricking amazing!!!!!! I would use my whole bag of expletives to describe this place if this was not a mass email....Oh my sweet Jesus, it is absolutely beautiful...the people are beautiful....the places are beautiful....everything is fantastic. It has made me exhausted to see anything here because it is plain and simple stimulus overload. I can't even begin to describe everything....Well, I guess I started off by naming all the bad bits, but mostly so I could get to all the wonderment...that sounds ridiculously cheesy, but I can't help it.
Ok...let me try to get some organization here. I hate writing by the clock. First, I am fine. I have not been sick or had any type of stomach thing yet. This is only my third day in the village, Samode, and I already feel like I am welcome here. My host family actually consists of three brothers and their wives, children, a nd parents. Half of them sleep outside. THere is a temple in the house to krishna...they bang cymbols every time there is a time for worship...which is like four times a day. There are five small kids who live in the house...they are all adorable...my photographer's eye wants to shoot them all the time...the walls are all light blue and purple...the woman all wear traditional Saris and have their hair covered at all times. There is a shower head in the house, which is a luxury here. All meals are served on metal trays and consist of chubati (bread), rice, and some sauce/food. We had four days of training in Jaipur in the confines of a engineering college. This is where we ate our meals and stayed. All of us who are teaching were paired with a member of the college (all boys) and were assigned schools.
While in Jaipur, we went to see the amber fort/palace and many other temples, palaces, forts, markets----AMAZING!!!! I keep on saying the word beautiful in this country that by the time I get home I'll be sick of it. There is no order in India...at least in the places I've been....It has all been complete and utter chaos...which is really cool....
so different...everyone stares at the weird foreigners...most of them smile while they stare...everyone is so friendly...completely different mindset. I think it is only because we look so different, but it's really refreshing. Even in the more westernized places---bars---dance clubs---everyone is very friendly.
I have felt the most content here and now than I have at any other point in my life...well, I can't really say that being amongst all this abject povert...but everything feels very pure.
At the amber fort especially----oh man, the pictures I have taken are precious to me---I have seen so much only in the past couple of days---all the people and the wildlife (elephants, camels, monkeys) and it's so common here!!
the Indian students working with us in the villages are really cool too. Their English is pretty good and we've been having a lot of fun together. We actually had our first lesson today after visiting all the schools in Samode yesterday. The primary schools----alll these little kids---no shoes----lessons in the dirt----branches over them as protention----all their hair is cut short to prevent lice, which the majority fo them already have, skinny, tattered clothing...some of them haven't seen pens in their entire lives....kids start school as early as 2 and a half----so you have these crying kids that the older children are trying to maintain...some of the private schools have their children wear uniforms, which are adorable....private schools aren't that much better...my class is a secondary school so I have 10-14 year olds....300 of them. They know some vocab words, but we really need to work on structure, which is something I did not prepare...but it will be good. None of the faculty members speaks any english, though, so I have to have everything translated pretty much...a few english phrases here and there....but that's probably the toughest part right now---sorting out when and where and who we are going to teach...
ok...There's been another customer waiting to use the internet for a while. I should go. I am sorry this email is so scatterbrained----just think of it in the spirit of
Mom, I will call you today, if possible. I will send individual emails when I get the chance.
Again, I apologize for the lack of organization---I just hope it gives you all an idea of what

Professor Bill McDonald Remarks at the Memorial Service for Sumer Alvarez
William F. McDonald Professor Department of American Studies & Department of Sociology and
Greetings. I am Professor Bill McDonald. I teach in the American Studies Program and in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
I teach about 200 students a year. At 200 students a year I have a hard time remembering names. When I look at old class lists, I see names of many students about whom I cannot remember anything. But, some I remember, sometimes very vividly but for different reasons.
For example, I remember the well known basketball star who played for the Miami Heat, Alonzo Mourning. He took my Research Methods course. I taught him everything he knows about Chi square. It doesn't seem to have helped his game.
I don't remember him for anything he did or said in the course. I remember him because the first year after he graduated from
My memories of Sumer Alvarez are different. Probably the most vivid memory is about her method of transportation for getting to class. I have been teaching for 35 years.
On the way to my first class I saw this girl slaloming down the hallway in ICC. I thought to myself: "Who is this nut cake? I'll bet she's from
Well, I was half right.
She made me think back to the days when I thought of myself as being a free-spirit. Skateboards had not been invented in those days. But if they had been, I might have cruised around on one myself.
Towards the end of the semester Sumer asked me to write two letters of recommendation for her, one for the India Volunteer Program of The Learning Foundation; the other for an internship in the Education Programs at The Corcoran Gallery of Art.
To the India Volunteer Program, this is what I wrote:
I have known Sumer Alvarez since January 2005 as a student in my course, American Culture and Social Structure. She is a faithful attendee at class and a useful participant in class discussions.
I have also gotten to know a little about her interest in

For the Corcoran I modified the letter a bit. This is how it read:
I am writing to send my enthusiastic support for Sumer Alvarez's application to the academic year internship program at the Corcoran Gallery of Art.

[Normally I wouldn't have included anything that might be considered a negative comment in a letter of recommendation. But it was for an internship to work with artists, not a law firm. So I figured they would read this comment favorably.]
My letter continued as follows:
I have also gotten to know a little about her interest in art, particularly photography. She included several photographs in her final term paper to enhance her argument. And, she let me select for my personal use one of her photos which she has taken during the year. I recognized in her the kind of enthusiasm for photography that I have always had. But in my earlier life I used to try to do the kind of artistic work with the camera that

There was one of a lamppost silhouetted against a mackerel sky. While the photo was rather artsy, the title was unpretentious and direct, "Lamppost." It was classic Sumer Alvarez. That's the one I chose.
Although it was already signed, I asked her to write something more on it. So she wrote the following:
Thank you so much for such a rewarding year.
Yay! De Tocqueville!
I have gotten only a few presents from students over the years. Usually it's a bottle of alcohol. I am not sure what that means.
In all my years I have never received a present that a student actually made herself.

Well, the blessed event has happened. Last Saturday morning we got a call from my daughter that things were happening. We hopped in the car and got up to hospital by . We visited for a while and then went to their apartment to await the arrival. At six the next morning we got the call from our son in law.
The baby had just been born and if we hurried we could visit with her even before the nurses took the baby off to be weighed and all that. We sprinted the seven blocks to the hospital. We found the most beautiful baby girl waiting for us. We took turns holding her.
When it was my turn, I held that precious package in my arms, and listened to her cooing, and I thought to myself, "You know what, girl, when you are old enough, I am going to buy you a skateboard."

AMD To Drop Radeon HD 2000/3000/4000 Catalyst Support
In what will certainly be controversial and disappointing to some Radeon Linux desktop users, AMD will soon announce that they will effectively be discontinuing support for several Radeon product families from their proprietary Catalyst driver. After that point, for future Linux distribution updates, the open-source Radeon Linux driver will be your only option for accelerated graphics. This is likely happening with the Windows Catalyst driver too, but at least there they have a better-maintained legacy driver process.

TitaniumGL: A Faster Multi-Platform Graphics Driver Architecture?
After first being introduced on Windows years ago, and then FreeBSD and ReactOS support added last year, this week finally marked the release of TitaniumGL for Linux. TitaniumGL is self-described as a "freeware driver architecture" and carries a goal to support OpenGL on graphics cards with broken, bad, or missing OpenGL hardware drivers. Here are some benchmarks of TitaniumGL compared to NVIDIA's binary GPU driver and the Mesa/Gallium3D LLVMpipe software rasterizer.

Product description
Emergent Teaching inspires teachers to teach with more spontaneity and creativity within an educational environment that is highly constrained. It demonstrates, through descriptive stories, creative strategies and provides an intellectual foundation for emergent teaching. The authors show how teachers can relate subject matter to students' lives and experience. They illustrate rituals and processes that help establish a caring learning community. Finally, the book applies the theories of complexity and chaos while reaffirming the natural wisdom that teachers possess within themselves. The authors have chosen a narrative format that "models" rather than "tells," and encourages readers to connect to their own stories and experiences. The book is consistent with the theoretical understandings and research in the complexity sciences but takes a narrative approach, giving examples and illustrations of ideas through stories, myths, and parables that act as metaphors and illustrations. Key topics and practices embedded in these stories include: *teaching the whole person *strategies for creative teaching *new understandings of process *meaning-centered learning *building community in the classroom *strengthening the student/teacher relationship *project-based learning *using art and nature in teaching *embodied learning *incorporating story and narrative in teaching *rites of passage *embracing the unpredictable, uncharted spaces in teaching

Author information
Sam Crowell is professor of education at California State University, San Bernardino and founder and co-director of the MA in Holistic and Integrative Education. The program has been recognized nationally as a model of transformative learning in a study funded by the Fetzer Foundation and published in the Journal for Transformative Education. The program has produced five educators who have been recognized as teacher-of-the-year, which just ten cohorts having graduated. David Reid-Marr is an adjunct professor in the MA in Holistic and Integrative Education at California State University, San Bernardino and teaches full time at the Idyllwild Arts Academy, a highly regarded high school for the arts.
Review quote
As states adopt common core standards and school districts ponder scripted curriculum that allegedly ensures that such standards are met, some classroom teachers have sought alternate routes. Emergent Teaching results from teachers' understanding that they can influence but cannot control what occurs in the classroom. Instead, Crowell and Reid-Marr assert that although teachers may anticipate certain patterns, classroom practice largely involves assisting learners to discover personal significance and creating a sense of belonging. Organized into ten chapters, the book defines emergent teaching and then examines some central tenets of the approach, including the experience of non-separation, event-centric teaching, non-linear instruction, the emergence of understanding, and the roles of play and joy in the classroom. Within these contexts, Crowell and Reid-Marr explore how teachers may encourage creativity, build relevance, and link emergence to the curriculum and other holistic concerns. Clearly written and full of useful examples of emergent teaching in action, the book is a great complement to A. S. Neill and Albert Lamb's Summerhill School (1994) or Maxine Greene's Releasing the Imagination. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readership levels. CHOICE Crowell and Reid- Marr present accessible conversations, reflections and stories that guide the reader through a transdisciplinary approach to teaching. Teachers are offered strategies for emergent teaching that can transform their learning worlds...This work affirms and advances our understanding of transformative education. By interweaving the new sciences, the importance of non-linearity, process, and creativity, Crowell and Reid-Marr offer a significant responsive holistic approach to education that addresses the whole person...The clear style and easily understood ideas make the book suitable for a wide audience, from undergraduates to academics and extends our perspectives to implement transformative learning theory into educational practice. Crowell and Reid- Marr embody and model what it means to be spiritual, mindful, inclusive, creative, critical, and collaborative. Journal of Transformative Learning This book is a conversation, a curriculum conversation among Sam, an educator with an interest in the new sciences, holistic education, and spirituality, and David, a trained artist and ordained Zen monk, and the students they have worked with and learned from over the years. From these conversations emerge creative insights into teaching, learning, living. Reading this book will transform one's own insights into all three. -- Wm. Doll, Univ. of British Columbia, Co-Founder of AERA, Chaos and Complexity SIG In a universe increasingly shown to be radically interconnected and dynamic, education has largely remained disconnected and plodding. Drawing from the 'new sciences' and extensive teaching encounters, Emergent Teaching provides a philosophically astute and eminently practical hope for teaching as holistic, structured improvisation. This nuanced, wise, and intimate work, punctuated with compelling first-hand accounts of transformative teaching, serves as a potent invitation into what vibrant teaching can be. -- Tobin Hart, Professor of Psychology, Author of: The Secret Spiritual World of Children and From Information to Transformation: Education for the Evolution of Consciousness The concepts of emergent curriculum and emergent teaching have been around for years but have remained elusive. Crowell and Reid-Marr's book at last brings clarity to emergent teaching in manner that teachers will find helpful. The book is filled with stories and vignettes that bring emergent teaching to life. The ideas presented are linked to the new sciences so that underlying the practices that are described is a strong theoretical base. This book is a very welcome addition to the literature on holistic education. -- Dr. Jack Miller, professor of curriculum, teaching, and learning, University of Toronto; author of The Holistic Curriculum Many educators have referred to teaching as an art, very few have actually penetrated that question, let alone show what such teaching looks like in practice. Emergent Teaching: A Path of Creativity, Significance, and Transformation treats this topic with a clarity born of a deep understanding of systems thinking and process, one that continuously allows the original insights of their students to emerge. This book succeeds both in articulating the theory and showing how to radically enrich education. -- Renate and Geoffrey Caine, authors of: Natural Learning for a Connected World: Education, Technology, and the Human Brain (2011, Teacher College Press), Strengthening and Enriching your Professional Learning Community: The Art of Learning Together (ASCD, 2010)

Tuna Carpaccio with Mesclun and Parmigiano-Reggiano - Main Courses
Print version
Tuna Carpaccio with Mesclun and Parmigiano-Reggiano
This recipe is especially light thanks to lots of lemon and clean greens.
10 basil leaves
1 garlic clove
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 lemons
salt and pepper to taste
1 pound raw tuna
1/4 pound mesclun
1/4 pound chunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano
1. Rinse the basil leaves to remove all traces of dirt, then dry well. Put the basil in a food processor with the garlic and purée. Add the olive oil in a thin stream in order to get a thick mixture. Add the juice of 1 lemon and salt and pepper to taste. Set dressing aside.
2. Cut the tuna fillet into thin slices with a very sharp knife, or have your fishmonger slice it for you. Cut the slices into small pieces so that you end up with a total of 24 pieces. Place each piece between two sheets of plastic wrap or waxed paper, and, using the flat side of a large knife or a heavy pan, pound into very thin pieces. (They should be approximately 2 x 3 inches.)
3. Drizzle some of the dressing on each of the plates. Put 3 pieces of tuna on each plate and drizzle with more dressing, reserving 3 tablespoons of dressing. Wrap each plate with a piece of plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until just before serving.
4. Wash and dry the mesclun and store in a bowl in the refrigerator until ready to use.
5. When ready to serve tuna, remove plates and mesclun from the refrigerator. Toss mesclun with the reserved 3 tablespoons of dressing, and season with salt and pepper. Put a small amount of the dressed mesclun on the center of each thin slice of tuna. Sprinkle some juice from the second lemon over the mesclun and tuna. Cut the cheese into thin slices using a vegetable peeler and divide among the 8 plates. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve immediately.
This recipe is especially light thanks to lots of lemon and clean greens. Make sure you buy very fresh tuna from the fishmonger, and don't forget to tell him you plan to serve it raw. Serves 8 as a first course

Yes, but you would think that if the MegaLight was USCG compliant for use as an anchor light, they would say so on their sight.
I would also refer you to the following
The Mega-Light actually comes in three versions. The original model, now called a "Utility," has no provision for mounting. The identical light with an L-shaped stainless steel bracket and a 12-inch pigtail for wiring directly into the ships power instead of a portable cord is named the "Masthead." Although Davis claims a two-mile visibility, which would be legal as an anchor light on most vessels, the Mega-Light is nowhere near as bright as a standard anchor light. We have a Masthead model mounted in the interior as a security light at our stairway with a switch to turn it off when it is not wanted.

*OFFICIAL* Plymouth Whalers 2012-2013 Season Thread
So I'm guessing we have the smallest fanbase at (OHL) HF Boards? :)
Went to the home opener against Belleville and was surprised how many seats were vacant...I was the only one in my row at one point, entire sections looked empty! There couldn't have been more than 2000 people there...Oh well I am hooked, will try and catch every home game this season (I live 25 min. away), especially without my HNIC.
The game went to overtime but by the middle of the 3rd both teams looked gassed...Do you think the players' conditioning improves through the season?
My favorite player is A. Aleardi. He's local, small, but plays with a lot of courage/energy. From a distance something about him looks like Patrick Kane. I see he's a veteran as a 20 yr. old, what will likely happen to him after this season? Hartman is also going to be fun to watch as a rookie.
What are other Whalers fans noticing about this team?
Anyways massive respect to the OHL and its fans. I've seen a few games in the past but last night really caught on to the vibrations...I had dreams about hockey after the game and reading from the arena guide linked from this forum...you catch this vibe and it's like a bomb has dropped, realizing how elite is the hockey some of us have right in the backyard!
First of all, welcome to the OHL - you've found the reason we all love junior hockey so much!
Attendance varies in Plymouth, but early in the season most teams don't sell out. Later in the season, weekend games are better.
Aleardi is fun to watch, isn't he? I love his speed. After this season, he could be signed as a free agent with an AHL team, could play in Europe, or may use his CHL education package and go to university. I wouldn't be surprised to see him signed as a free agent.
The Whalers are always competitive; they're a well run organization and very well coached. They usually start the season off a bit slow but then gain momentum as the season progresses.
Came into the OHL forum looking for the official Plymouth Whalers thread, almost second guessed if they were even in the OHL lol.
I'm with Hockey, I live about 40 minutes away and plan on attending some games but would like to know some players to watch. Any help would be appreciated.
Whalers season ticket holder and longtime HFBoards lurker here. As Charlie mentioned, attendance is usually lower in the first half of the season. Once college and high school football seasons are over, though, it will usually pick up. If the NHL lockout runs very long, it will also probably help attendance -- it did during the last work stoppage.
As for players to watch, Drake, the team has four former NHL first round draft picks on the roster (although J.T. Miller is currently in an AHL camp). Stephan Noesen is a big forward with a nice scoring touch, and will probably end up leading the team in scoring. Alex Aleardi is probably the most exciting to watch, as he is usually the fastest skater on the ice and will make some exciting rushes.
I fear that goaltending will be the team's Achilles heal. Mahalak has never had to carry the team, and looks very shaky at times. The team will clearly miss Wedgewood. It will be interesting to see if Vellucci makes a move here.
Mahalak, though, is a very well known commodity in net. He fights the puck at times, and also gets himself out of position. I think the team needs to upgrade here if it wants to make a run at the OHL title.
Do they still wear these? Because they're one of the best uniforms in hockey.
They did wear them on St. Patrick's Day last season. This is a shot I took of Scott Wedgewood at that game:
Compuware Arena is among the worst arenas in the OHL. It's capacity is also quite low as far as OHL arenas go.
There seems to be a good crowd whenever the Spitfires are in town as a lot of people from Windsor cross the border and take the 20 minute drive. It has been standing room only for most Plymouth/Windsor games that I've been to.
It's a shame that Plymouth's games against other teams don't attract as large of crowds. Plymouth is a very well run team, always competitive, and always has a good product on the ice to watch.
I think a lot of the problem is that they play in the shadow of the Red Wings and a lot of Metro Detroiters don't even know that the Whalers exist. Hopefully with the NHL lockout, more people discover how great OHL hockey is.
I am hoping to make the trip to Plymouth (and Saginaw too) one day to see either the Knights or Generals when they're in town.
Mahalak looked a little better last night against Sudbury. He still was way out of position on Sudbury's 2nd goal, but did not appear to be fighting the puck like he did last weekend.
Also had a decent crowd -- over 3,100.
True also with the crowd, it looked double that of the last week.
Man I really see why Rakell and Wilson are so touted, they just dominate because of their bigger size! Not to mention they're tough, skilled players.
The players commented they worked hard and I agree it showed. Good hustle by everybody. They made Sudbury look weeeeeak.... I can't imagine if Hartman was in and we had Vanderweil, Noeson and Aleardi after the 1st.
Any news on what happened to those guys?
After blowing Friday's game in Guelph by allowing the winning goal with 4 seconds left, Plymouth put together a solid game last night at home vs. Niagara. The team skated well, won the battles for loose pucks, and (with one exception) played solid defense. They looked impressive.
Rookie goalie Riley Corbin made his first OHL appearance, and looked very good. He stayed in position, and looked comfortable while handling the shots. He did not let in any bad goals. The only criticism is that he struggled in handling the puck, making two huge clearing pass errors that luckily did not result in goals.
Most of the playeers missing from last Saturday were back. Vanderweil was still an injury scratch, and J.T. Miller is still in the AHL, but everyone else was back. I'm not sure what was up with Noesen and Aleardi being pulled partway through last Saturday's game -- maybe a disciplinary action? Both played well last night, though.
Congrats to coach Mike Vellucci on earning his 400th career win!
I did find out last week Aleardi was very sick for the Sudbury game, but he looked 100% last night.
Excellent team performance overall...the shots were not indicative of how completely dominant the Whalers were. The defense was composed and made quick plays out of the zone seem easy.
Yea Corbin got the win but I thought he was a little shaky. A few of those goals were kinda soft. I shouldn't pick on him though, was a good debut.
The Whalers are bad boys!!! Looking at the standing the teams they are crushing are also winning. Not to get over-confident, but I want to see a team that can honestly defeat the Whalers. I feel like it's a really good time to have jumped aboard.
Thanks for the info on Aleardi. It makes sense now why he was pulled the previous weekend. Maybe Noesen was suffering from the same illness?
I didn't think the goals Riley let in were soft. The first was on a perfect setup on an odd-man rush, the 2nd appeared to be deflected (but I could be wrong on that), and the 3rd was on a defensive breakdown that left the scorer all alone in front of the net.
Don't get too confident yet, hockeyisforeveryone. Last year's team was loaded, including excellent goalie Scott Wedgewood, yet they were a disappointment in the playoffs. It's a long season, and there are several quality teams in the West. The Whalers have the talent to win the title, but so do many other teams.
One thing you can be certain of, though, is that Vellucci will do everything he can to prepare the team for success.
Noesen and Aleardi weren't suffering from any illness against Sudbury. They were arguing on the bench so got sent to the showers.
As for last nights game, Corbin had a great debut and it was fun to watch the team play well against a tough Niagara team after a stunning loss in Guelph.
I see that overage defenseman Austin Levi returned to the Whalers and was in the lineup last night in the loss to Owen Sound. I did not know that Austin was expected back. That should help Plymouth's defense.
Now after last night I can say after seeing with my own eyes: the Soo are a great team! Very worthy opponents and evenly matched game. The Greyhounds created a lot of problems for us, causing several bad penalties. The Hounds have great breakout movement into and through neutral ice, created chances by tough forechecking and top notch puck control. Broll and Cousins were scary good! I was surprised to witness a team outshoot the Whalers. Halfway through the 2nd the game was all Soo IMO. Whalers were kind of holding on for dear life.
Aleardi was fantastic, a whole next level above any of his teammates as far as drive and fight. Several times he wildly rushed straight to the net with the puck creating some sick chances. I would have liked to see the same hustle from some of the other bigger guys.
Sure hope for some better outcomes in the next week, we won't be able to see them at home for 2 weeks. Lets Go Whalers!!!
While miller's absence is disappointing, it was not unexpected. He did not sign with the Whalers last year until after the NHL draft in order to keep his AHL options open this year, so this was a known possibility.
Hopefully Plymouth gets their act together soon. I wouldn't be surprised if Vellucci makes a deal for a goalie before the trade deadline -- similar to getting Neuvirth for the 2007 title run.
Possible Trades?
not enough high end forwards? I hope you are kidding?? let's see...noesen, wilson, rackell, aleardi, meurs. Add to that Hartman, who once he gets more comfortable in the league is going to be great. Then there is Payne who is also playing unexpectadly well. they have come up against first star goal tending the last few games. Once this team gets going...there will be no stopping them.
As for Aleardi, while he is exciting, I would rather have more players like Noesen, or have Miller back. Alex has improved his game a lot since Plymouth traded for him a couple of years ago, but he is still a one dimensional player. Noesen, on the other hand, reminds me a little of former Whaler James Neal -- a big forward with a nice scoring touch.
There is a reason Noesen was a first round NHL draft pick, while Aleardi is an undrafted over ager.

OXFORD, England, July 12, 2010 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
- 1700 Delegates to Meet at the 9th Mycological Congress 1-6 August 2010, Edinburgh
The British Mycological Society, in association with Elsevier, the world-leading publisher of scientific, technical and medical information, today announced the final programme for the 9th Mycological Congress IMC9: The Biology of Fungi. This congress takes place every 4 years at a different venue around the world.
Taking place at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre, a comprehensive programme encompasses the latest research in all areas of fungal biology. More than 300 oral presentations are arranged within 45 thematic symposia and supplemented by over 1000 posters, optional special interest group meetings, field trips and an exhibition. A complementary public exhibition, entitled 'From Another Kingdom', will be hosted at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Edinburgh during the Congress and later into Autumn 2010.
Fungal biology has never been as important in our everyday lives as it is today because of the commercial importance for biotechnology, medicine and the food industry. Fungi also provide a model for studying the eukaryotic mode of life. Further, fungi are crucial to the functioning of the ecosystems of our planet because of the role they play in decomposition and nutrient cycling. New areas of research will be reviewed within the following five main themes of the congress: Cell biology, biochemistry and physiology; Environment, ecology and interactions; Evolution, biodiversity and systematics; Fungal pathogenesis and disease control; Genomics, genetics and molecular biology.

An enthusiast for the arts and family outings to the end, retired Lt. Col. Robert Kealy stopped at the Skylight Music Theatre to see "The Sound of Music" with several of his children and grandchildren on his way to the hospital.
"It was very fitting because he was an Austrian,'" said his daughter, Molly Kealy.
Three days later, on Nov. 26, Kealy died of heart disease.
His strong spirit and intellectual curiosity served him well throughout his 96 years, according to his six children.
Kealy was a lieutenant colonel and a peace activist with a sign above his front door that read, "Lt. Colonel of Peace."
He lived independently in his Bay View condo until the day after Thanksgiving, when he went to the theater, and then the hospital.
Born in St. Paul, Minn., Kealy spent his youth in the River Falls area. He attended a Catholic boarding school in Iowa as a teenager after his mother died.
He later went to Girard College in Pennsylvania, then studied philosophy at the University of Chicago before going off to war.
Kealy served in the Pacific theater during World II. When he returned from the war, he earned a law degree at the University of Chicago, where he also met and married Mollie Eldred Abbott.
He was an attorney with the U.S. Department of Agriculture in Chicago before transferring to the Milwaukee office in the early 1950s, and moving to Summit. His wife would later become a social worker and a public defender.
In 1956-'57, Kealy and his brother Joe crafted a Techbuilt house on a wooded hill next to Nashotah House Seminary. It had an open floor plan and large windows with sweeping vistas. There, Kealy and his wife raised their six children. It was remarkable, because neither man had any training in construction, said their eldest, Erin Green.
"They learned as they went, from laying the block foundation, to wiring, to plumbing, to windows and roofing. It never was finished well inside, much to my mother's dismay," she said. "This may be why I was motivated to buy it, and finish the inside and a major remodel in about 1985."
The eldest Kealy child raised her own two daughters there, too.
Bob and Mollie Kealy shared a passion for social justice and sought to make the world a better place through philanthropy, advocacy and action, their kids said.
"We were always taken out of school to march," said Molly Kealy, her mother's namesake and a twin.
Erin Green marched with her parents in a Vietnam protest in Washington, D.C., in 1965, when she was 16.
"There were over 300,000 people," she recalled. "And where we lived was pretty conservative, so my parents took a fair amount of heat for being against the war."
Her lieutenant colonel father continued serving his country through the Army Reserves.
But he maintained a firm belief that the United States should use military power carefully, and only when warranted, Erin Green said.
In 1968, the family went to Chicago because Bob Kealy was an alternate delegate to the Democratic convention. They were a couple blocks from Grant Park when the rioting broke out; tanks rolled to quell the violence and tear gas canisters were lobbed. Mollie Kealy scooted the kids to safety inside a hotel lobby, her daughters recalled.
Kealy later returned to academia, studying philosophy and comparative literature in a doctoral program at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also taught English at UW-Whitewater. His studies focused on the Dutch Enlightenment and writings of Baruch Spinoza.
"Although he was very interested in history, he also was very interested in the current day and how one person could make a difference," Erin Green recalled.
In 1977, Mollie and Bob moved to Milwaukee's lower east side, where they renovated the historic Graham Row at 1501 N. Marshall St.
The three-story, Cream City brick and sandstone building composed of three connected houses is among Milwaukee's few remaining row houses, built in 1885 by an Irish immigrant contractor. True history detectives, the couple succeeded in having the property listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and contributed to the neighborhood's redevelopment and resurgence, their daughters said.
Bob and Mollie Kealy were supporters of the arts - he was a 45-year subscriber to the Milwaukee Repertory Theater, and also subscribed to Next Act and Chamber theaters.
A voracious reader and prolific writer, Kealy also knew many languages and traveled the globe with his family.
His wife died in 2006.
Per his wishes, Kealy's body was donated to the UW-Madison medical school.
"He was a frugal man," said his daughter, Erin. "No way did he want to pay for a big funeral when his body could be used for science."
Besides his daughters Erin and Molly, he is survived by his children Jared, Abbie, Megan and Peter; and seven grandchildren.
Lt. Col. Robert Louis Kealy
A memorial service will be 11 a.m. Dec. 30 in the Garden Room at Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners. Donations are suggested to Next Act Theatre, the Milwaukee Public Library Foundation and the Milwaukee Public Museum.

great update Phade. Personally, I like your digitals compared to your traditional sketches, not that they're bad, they're actually good. I'm not much for blind contour studies, but I commend you for doing them because I rarely see anyone doing blind contours nowadays... or perhaps i'm not looking around much haha :3 Keep it up buddy!

Women, especially those who belong to weaker sections, are showing keen interest to become economically independent. Whether the husband supports the family or not, unemployed or alcoholic, nothing deters these women to shoulder the responsibility and help improve their standard of living.
Most of them are on their own. From forming a group who share similar interests to finding out short-term courses that suit their lives and securing loans from the bank to expanding their network, budding women entrepreneurs are now finding ways to create their own identity.
Sesha Sai and Sujatha, who got trained in a food processing workshop organised by a SHG, were eager to explain their preparation of pickles, jams, summer quenchers and so on. "Cooking is our area of interest. Through one of the women empowerment programmes, organised by a SHG near our locality, we were trained to prepare instant food products during a 37-day workshop. It helped us to convert our raw culinary skills to the levels required to be a professional," they said. These entrepreneurs like to start a unit of their own inviting a wider circle of friends together.
Some of them said they also plan to check with hotels, supermarkets, exhibitions and catering services to get regular orders and help them earn consistently.
There are several women who showed similar interest in learning culinary skills and become economically independent post the training, instructor of Advanced Training Institute N.V.J. Nagalakshmi said. "The certificates issued by Durgabai Deshmukh Mahila Sisu Vikasa Kendram help them secure bank loans and to establish independent units of food processing," she explained.
Regional coordinator of Dhan Foundation K. Rama Prabha said they have trained some 120 members of various SHG clusters on food processing workshop for the last one year and have plans to spread across more groups this financial year.

Congregation B'nai Jacob-Park Slope Synagogue
Rating: 1 stars 3 3 reviews
Issues: Religion
Location: 401 9th St Brooklyn NY 11215 USA
A Warm, Caring Community in the Urban Town of Park Slope Modern Orthodox Observance In A Liberating Environment
The rich tapestry of Orthodox Judaism, woven together with the challenges of modern society is abundantly evident in all we do at Congregation B'nai Jacob -- in the observance of Mitzvot, in the joy of Shabbat, and in the dedicated and individualized education of our children, in the integration of Judaism into all aspects of our lives.
Though firmly committed to tradition, the Congregation does not ignore the issues of modern life. Men and women alike are encouraged to learn with a Chavruta (partner), in groups, or on their own. In this way, members are freed to grow at their own pace, and the observance of Torah and Mitzvot becomes a positive and fulfilling experience. We all share in the excitement of one another's accomplishments.
B'nai Jacob is open to all Jews, whatever their level, who want to develop a deeper appreciation of their Torah legacy. Many members who were once non-observant have taken on many spiritual commitments of which they would never have dreamt. Our synagogue is a great place to grow.
While those raised with Orthodox backgrounds are fairly represented in the Congregation, Ba'alei T'shuva whose zealous and newly found enchantment with Judaism are richly evident. All congregants are very special and are crucial to B'nai Jacob's diversity.

I was pretty sure it was a Chabad house and wondered how a humble emissary of the Rebbe could score such a valuable building. Then I found out it is supposed to be a modern orthodox congregation and the building actually was paid for and belongs to the congregation. I learned that many of the founding members were forced out by the not-so-humble emissary and his dirty politics. Beware of this place--it is a scam and the Rabbi and his family are behind it all!

I also had a disappointing experience at this shul. Not sure what the deal is there (though I've heard some disturbing rumbles about the leadership of the congregation, and ownership of the building). People seem unhappy and withdrawn--certainly not the welcoming, vibrant community that I heard about last year before I moved to the area. There used to be some sort of a music venue in the building which sounded pretty cool. Unfortunately, it is gone. At least there are other orthodox shuls in the area (one's not een Chabad. Congregation B'nai Jacob definitely has a Chabad House feel.

Sunburn causes redness and swelling. The burn effects do not show immediately but take two to six hours after the sunburn and peak within twenty-four hours. The effects of sunburn result in redness, swelling, pain, blisters and the skin may feel hot to touch. In severe cases the affected person develops fever. Some people get so sun burnt that they suffer from second-degree burns and may go into shock and even death. Dehydration and electrolyte imbalance is another result. Regular application of sunscreens can save you from so much trouble. Learn more about sunscreens here.
