Maine Black Bears | Yankee Classic

- 1 Comment
This Yankee Magazine Classic is from December 1978
Also, read a photographer's account of his 2007 excursion to track Maine black bears.
There can be no talking now. The hearing acuity of Maine black bears mandates silence. Somewhere in this spruce forest in northern Maine dens a three-year-old black bear. He wears a collar equipped with a powerful radio transmitter that betrays his den site. Roy Hugie, listening to a pulsing loud and clear in the earphones clamped to his ears, knows the bear is near.
Hugie is a 32-year-old big game research biologist with the Maine Fish and Wildlife Department. For three years he has monitored Maine black bears. His is the most extensive bear study ever carried on in New England, one of the most extensive, for that matter, in the country. There are 17 black bears denning this winter wearing three-pound collars that will tell Hugie where, when, and possibly why they den where they do. In addition, another 200 bears roam the forests with ear tags firmly in place. Data on their ages (determined by tooth samples), weights, habitat preferences, home range areas, and ability to avoid hunters fill the files in Hugie's office.
Each day Hugie says he learns something new about bears, which he calls "one of our most misunderstood and maligned animals." Each day the mysteries soften a little. New questions arise, replacing ones just answered. Each day his respect for the Maine black bear grows. The more he learns about bears the more he frets about man.
"With habitat loss and overhunting you can be out of business with bears four years before you know what's happened," Hugie says. "The margin of error with bears is very small. Their reproductive rate is small. If we guess wrong the bear could be beyond recovery very soon in most places."
There are more black bears in Maine (about 8500) than anywhere east of the Mississippi. The decline of the bear elsewhere has brought hunters to Maine in ever-increasing numbers. Each year there are more black bears killed in Maine, from 740 in 1974 to 1008 in 1976. It is Hugie's belief that any further increase, coupled with the inevitability of shrinking habitat, will mean that the black bear is in serious trouble. But he needs facts to back him up. The sources of those facts he seeks now lie hidden in their forests, sleeping fitfully until May.
Roy Hugie has trekked for hours to reach a bear's den. He wheels around in a small clearing. He paces quickly in a broad circle looking for signs he has come to trust. He relaxes and smiles, for the first time in a long while. He flings the earphones on the branch of a tree and jams the receiving antenna firmly in the snow. "There," he says softly, and points to a tall white pine. At its base is a cavity where an immense root has been forced upwards. It is covered with snow. Only by straining can you see the faint trickle of steam vaporizing into the clear, cold day — the breath of a black bear.
Early New England Indians searched for the thin wisps of breath on icy days. If found on high, they cut down the tree. Flaming birch bark thrust into root cavities brought a bear with stinging eyes into the startling light and the spearpoint. Some hunters crawled into dens and clubbed the bear to death before it could rouse. Later, man regarded bears as vermin, like rats. Until 1957 in Maine, a hunter lucky or clever enough to find a denned sow with cubs could shoot the mother and cubs while they huddled together, deliver the snouts to Fish and Wildlife and collect $15 per snout.

Since 2001, the two remaining large ones are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Constrained by the physical and political conditions, three of the churches anyway became the biggest timber-framed religious buildings in Europe. With pioneering constructional and architectural solutions unknown ever before or since in wooden architecture, and surviving for over 300 years, they bear testimony to the quest for religious freedom and are a rare expression of Lutheran ideology in an idiom generally associated with the Roman Catholic Church in the Austrian Empire of the Habsburgs.
The church in Jawor, under the invocation of the Holy Ghost, sized 43,5 m long, 14 m wide and 15,7 m high, seating 5,500, was constructed by Breslau (Wroclaw) architect Albrecht von Saebisch (1610–1688) and was finished in 1655 after a year. The 200 paintings inside by were done by Georg Flegel in 1671–1681. The Altar, by Martin Schneider, is of 1672, the original organ of J. Hoferichter from Legnica (Liegnitz) of 1664 was replaced 1855–1856 by Adolf Alexander Lummert.
By that time, the town was already for about 100 years part of the Lutheran Kingdom of Prussia. Another 100 years later, in 1945, as a result of losing World War II by Nazi Germany they became part of Poland, following Potsdam Agreement.
The similar church, erected in Głogów (Glogau) had burned in 1758, but the one of Świdnica, under the invocation of the Holy Trinity, survived like the one in Jawor. Both were restored by a Polish-German cooperation, and added by UNESCO in 2001.

Heslin does not hesitate to describe his son's fatal injuries. Jesse was shot twice in the head. He was grazed on the side of the head, and he was shot in the forehead at the hairline.
"That wasn't just a killing …. It was a massacre," Heslin said. "He didn't just go in and shoot each victim one time, or to kill them … That's clear from the condition of the victims."

Heslin favors background checks for all gun purchases. He believes that background checks should include an inquiry about the mental status of the gun purchaser and other people in the gun purchaser's home.
He said he supports the Second Amendment, though it is difficult to reconcile his belief knowing that guns in the homes of law-abiding citizens can sometimes lead to deadly consequences. The gunman's mother, Nancy Lanza, apparently was a law-abiding gun owner.
Heslin also believes that schools would benefit from armed guards and bulletproof glass.
Heslin favors anything that would have saved his son and the others at Sandy Hook. He says he'd give anything.
A Hard Worker
One year, Heslin remembers, Jesse wanted to buy his mom a card.
"He said, 'I gotta earn some money,' and, of course, I would have given him the money, or whatever he wanted, I'd take him to get his mom a present," Heslin said.
Instead, Jesse asked a neighbor for work. He picked dandelions from a neighbor's yard for a penny a piece and earned "eight bucks or so," Heslin said.
Jesse's father remembers him as a boy with a strong work ethic, an inquisitive mind and a commitment to work until a job was complete. He wanted to work in construction like his father, who operates large machinery, including bulldozers, excavators and cranes. Heslin also is a residential contractor.
"He'd say, 'We're not leaving until the job is done, Dad.'"
In many cases, the job was half the fun, Heslin said, recalling that he and Jesse were in the process of restoring a 1948 Ford 8N tractor and had even managed to get the engine running.
Jesse also wanted to make his own money by saving bottles to return for the deposit, and even collecting scrap metal to be sold at a redemption center.
When he wasn't helping his father with a job, Jesse played soccer in a league, and he liked other sports, such as baseball and football. He loved dogs and riding horses, like the ones at his mother's small farm in Sandy Hook, Heslin said.
"Every year he used to raise chickens … and he'd give them to his mother for Mother's Day," Heslin said. "We incubate them and we'd get the chicks and he'd raise them. We had the lights set up."
Jesse also liked to fish, whether it was in a stream by his home, at Lake Zoar in Newtown or angling for bluefish off a dock in Long Island Sound. He collected shells found in the sand at Long Beach, a strip of barrier beach along the coast in Stratford.
Jesse was loud and fearless. His father has a photo of Jesse play-wrestling with a pit bull. It's one of hundreds that Heslin keeps on his Blackberry, along with videos of Jesse demolishing a plasterboard wall, riding a bicycle in circles in the driveway and swinging on a swing set.
"He wasn't afraid of anything," Heslin said. "He thought he could conquer the world."
Christmas Memories
Jesse died five years to the day after the death of his paternal grandmother. Heslin's mother, Joan Heslin, was 75 when she died Dec. 14, 2007.
So, on Dec. 13, when Jesse said he thought it was going to be the best Christmas ever, Heslin explained that he is always a little sad around the anniversary of his mother's death. Jesse asked about heaven. Heslin remembers reassuring him, saying: "When you die, I'll be there to come get you."
"We got into the true meaning of Christmas was giving and not receiving," said Heslin, who was raised Catholic and describes himself as spiritual, as well as a believer in heaven for children and an afterlife.
In the days after the shooting, Heslin said, the outpouring of gifts, letters and other signs of support from all over the world confirmed Jesse's belief.
"He was right. It was the best Christmas ever, because people were reaching out to help, and giving to people that needed," Heslin said. "So, he was right. He wasn't here to enjoy it, but, regardless, it was still the best Christmas ever, looking at it that way."

The Senate Committee on Niger Delta Affairs has flayed Niger Delta Affairs Minister Elder Godsday Orubebe for abandoning a road project awarded for over N300 billion.
Speaking to our correspondent on phone yesterday, the Vice Chairman of the committee, Senator Nurudeen Abatemi-Usman (PDP, Kogi Central), said the committee was shocked to discover that the East-West road, spanning across the Niger Delta states, was yet to be executed six years after it was contracted.
According to Abatemi-Usman, the committee has concluded arrangements to query the minister on the issue next Tuesday.
"We just returned from an oversight function in Niger Delta and the major project under the ministry is the East-West road which is a road that spans across the Niger Delta states, and it is a length of 349 kilometres.
This contract was awarded in 2006 by the Federal Ministry of Works, but with the advent of the Ministry of Niger Delta Affairs, it was transferred. Sadly, we are nowhere on that project," he said.

Welcome to the most experienced bariatric surgery center on the East Coast! Serving patients in Virginia, Maryland, and the metropolitan Washington DC area.
Welcome to Obesity Surgery Center!
Having the RYGBP I can honestly say was the best, best decision I have ever made for myself. I have lost over 155 pounds since my surgery. I went from a size 32 jeans to a size 6. My BMI went from 50 to 23.5. It feels amazing. I am off my high cholesterol medicine and I feel great. I have a lot more self-confidence and I love clothes shopping now. THE AMERICAN HEART ASSOCIATION awarded me with the lifestyle change award 2 years in a row. I feel like I have gotten my life back and that I am a much better Mom and wife. I must say thank you to Dr. Anez and staff. I just cannot say enough good things about them.
As the founder of the OBESITY SURGERY CENTER, Dr. Osvaldo Anez has performed over 4,000 bariatric procedures. With vast experience performing the mini-incision Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP), Dr. Anez recently expanded his service offering to include the Adjustable Gastric Band procedure. The center excels in comprehensive patient support, providing robust aftercare that includes counseling by bariatric dieticians, dedicated physician assistants and nurses, monthly support groups, and web page service. Additionally, the center has an extensive panel of physicians such as cardiologists, pulmonologists, endocrinologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and physical therapists to whom it refers patients, when necessary.
Throughout the past twenty six years, Dr. Anez perfected his technique for open RYGBP and ultimately developed the mini-incision RYGBP which demonstrates numerous benefits:
Incision approximately 3.5" to 4.0" long (less pain and hernias)
Procedure completed in 30 to 40 minutes (less complications)
Hospital stay is 2 to 3 days
Procedure is reversible
Cost is lower
Notably, the Obesity Surgery Center's broad experience and superior results were instrumental in the qualification of FAIR OAKS HOSPITAL as a BARIATRIC CENTER OF EXCELLENCE, certified by the AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR METABOLIC AND BARIATRIC SURGERY. OSC's doctors are among the most trusted bariatric surgeons in Virginia.
Morbid obesity is a serious and increasingly common disease that represents a severe handicap and causes major health issues: Type II Diabetes Mellitus, Sleep Apnea, Hypertension, High Cholesterol and Triglycerides, Metabolic Syndrome, and Arthritis. Bariatric Surgery offers the most consistent, long-term weight loss and the highest resolution rate of co-morbidities. The most commonly performed bariatric procedure is the RYGBP. It has been performed for over 40 years and continues to be the "GOLD STANDARD" for weight loss surgery.

This tally doesn't include all of the mail-in ballots that have yet to be counted, but the results for the Oakland school board races and Measure J (which I've rounded) are pretty decisive. Two of the three incumbents, London and Hinton Hodge, have won.
District 1: Incumbent Jody London, 76% — defeated Thearse Pecot
District 3: Incumbent Jumoke Hinton Hodge, 61% (after ranked-choice voting ran its course) — defeated Richard Fuentes and Ben Lang
District 5: Rosie Torres, 54% — defeated Mike Hutchinson in an open race for a seat long held by Noel Gallo.
District 7: James Harris, 57% — defeated Alice Spearman, who has said she might raise a legal challenge again, after the election; Harris lives in Oakland, but in a neighborhood affiliated with the San Leandro school district.
Measure J: 84% (needed 55 percent to pass)
What do you think this outcome will mean for OUSD — besides two new board members?

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - On average, more than 700 million pounds of turkey is consumed on Thanksgiving Day in the United States, not to mention all the fixings that go with it. The last thing you want is for one of your guests to get sick after dinner from eating food that wasn't prepared properly.
Johnson Avenue Hy-Vee Dietician Judy Fitzgibbons recommends you keep four things in mind when preparing your meal.
Clean: Wash all your produce thoroughly before cooking, but don't wash your turkey as it can splash bacteria around your kitchen. Be sure to wash your hands constantly while cooking, especially when moving from one food to another.
Separate: Keep your cooked and uncooked , hot and cold foods separate to avoid cross-contamination. Have a separate cutting board for produce and raw meats.
Cook: A thermometer is a cook's best friend on Thanksgiving. Cook your turkey and stuffing inside the turkey to at least 165 degrees. Make sure your gravy and casseroles are cooked to a boil.
Chill: Chill leftover food within two hours of meal time. Leftovers are good for 3 to 4 days. If you don't plan on eating leftovers right away, put it directly in the freezer. Make sure you reheat food to a boil to kill bacteria.
Turkey Basics: Safely Thaw, Prepare, Stuff, and Cook
When preparing a turkey, be aware of the four main safety issues: thawing, preparing, stuffing, and cooking to the adequate temperature.
Safe Thawing
Did You Know?
Clostridium perfringens is the second most common bacterial cause of food poisoning
Outbreaks occur most often in November and December
Meat and poultry accounted for 92% of outbreaks with an identified single food source
Refrigerate leftovers at 40°F or below as soon as possible and within two hours of preparation to prevent food poisoning.
Food Thermometer Truths
Always use a food thermometer to guarantee that foods are cooked to a safe-to-eat temperature.
Some food thermometers must be calibrated to ensure that they read food temperature accurately. Find out if your thermometer can be calibrated.
Calibrate your food thermometer by following these steps:
Fill a pot with distilled water and bring to a rolling boil.
Hold the thermometer probe in the boiling water for one minute. Do not let the probe touch the pot.
After one minute, the thermometer should read between 210° and 214° F. If it does not, adjust the thermometer manually to 212° F. If the thermometer cannot be adjusted manually do not use it until it is serviced by a professional.
Thawing turkeys must be kept at a safe temperature. The "danger zone" is between 40 and 140°F the temperature range where foodborne bacteria multiply rapidly. While frozen, a turkey is safe indefinitely, but as soon as it begins to thaw, bacteria that may have been present before freezing can begin to grow again, if it is in the "danger zone."
There are three safe ways to thaw food: in the refrigerator, in cold water, and in a microwave oven.
Safe Preparation
Bacteria present on raw poultry can contaminate your hands, utensils, and work surfaces as you prepare the turkey. If these areas are not cleaned thoroughly before working with other foods, bacteria from the raw poultry can then be transferred to other foods. After working with raw poultry, always wash your hands, utensils, and work surfaces before they touch other foods.
Safe Stuffing
For optimal safety and uniform doneness, cook the stuffing outside the turkey in a casserole dish. However, if you place stuffing inside the turkey, do so just before cooking, and use a food thermometer. Make sure the center of the stuffing reaches a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Bacteria can survive in stuffing that has not reached 165°F, possibly resulting in foodborne illness. Follow the FSIS' steps to safely prepare, cook, remove, and refrigerate stuffing.
Safe Cooking
Set the oven temperature no lower than 325°F and be sure the turkey is completely thawed. Place turkey breast-side up on a flat wire rack in a shallow roasting pan 2 to 2-1/2 inches deep. Check the internal temperature at the center of the stuffing and meaty portion of the breast, thigh, and wing joint using a food thermometer. Cooking times will vary. The food thermometer must reach a safe minimum internal temperature of 165°F. Let the turkey stand 20 minutes before removing all stuffing from the cavity and carving the meat. For more information on safe internal temperatures, visit FoodSafety.gov's Safe Minimum Cooking Temperatures.

It may not be quite as much fun as International Talk Like a Pirate Day (sorry, that's not until September), but starting June 9th, 2008, your little darlings will be able to enjoy a week of pirate-themed episodes of their favorite shows.
It's all being kicked off with a special episode wherein The Backyardigans go to camp:
The young audience and early education television programming block Nick Jr. continues to send springtime adventures to audiences early this year, as it schedules an early June broadcast of a new episode of The Backyardigans sets to air. A fantasy-adventure series that sets its characters' escapades to song and dance, The Backyardigans, during the second full week of June, will accompany other Nick Jr. programs during a week of pirate-themed television cartoons. Nick Jr. is a specially designed programming block airing on Nickelodeon weekdays from 9:00am-2:00pm (ET). The programming block is dedicated to preschoolers, is curriculum based, and best-of-all, commercial free.
In "Pirate Camp," Uniqua really wants to be a pirate, so she convinces a fearful Pablo to join her at Camp Walk-A-Planka. Under the tutelage of the great pirate captain Austin, the campers learn about "pirattitude" and dance the scalawag to a Garage Band soundtrack. When Austin is captured by pirate captain Red Boots, a fearsome ghost played by Tasha, it's up to the pirate campers to use their "pirattitude" to help set him free. But can they escape being tickled and turned into ghosts by captain Red Boots?
There will also be themed episodes of your other favorites—Wonder Pets, Max and Ruby, and Dora the Explorer.
Your favorite preschoolers shows and piracy go together like… like… chocolate and peanut butter! Or maybe gum and hair, seeing as how we are talking about preschoolers…. Either way, it looks to be a great week of programming, matey!

Key Features / Product Warranty
It all starts with momentum.
The hurling weight of steel creates inertia, the connecting rod pivots on the crank, lubricated by microns of oil, sending the piston careening upward, violently compressing fuel and air.
The block winces under the force.
With exact crank position known within 1/4 degree, the ECU unleashes voltage, charging the coil with over 45,000 volts of energy, released in a burst of amperage that can last over 5 milliseconds, erupting across the spark plug gap, detonating compressed air and fuel in an explosion so powerful and well timed it sends the piston whirling back towards earth.
Combustion propagates.
The power moves you, the pace of it is incomprehensible.
Voltage, fuel, air combined, compressed - ignited.

The Thames Valley Cancer Network has completed the roll out of Aria for Medical Oncology from Varian Medical Systems.
The network, which links cancer centres in Oxford and Reading with district general hospitals in Wiltshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire, has implemented the system over a year, with Great Western Hospital in Swindon becoming the latest to take it.
The Aria oncology system is described as providing users with all the tools they need to manage the clinical, administrative and financial activities of a cancer department.
An oncology specific electronic medical record sits at the heart of the system, and allows a personalised care pathway to be designed for all patients, from diagnosis to follow-up. The system manages chemotherapy, drug orders and other orders.
Dr Claire Blessing, consultant clinical oncologist at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford and clinical lead for the project said a particular benefit for the cancer network was that it allows information to be shared between teams.
"We needed something that could be accessed from all hospitals in the Thames Valley Network, without losing data between them," she said. "This enables a patient to be prescribed initial chemotherapy in one hospital in the network and to have follow-up treatment in another."
Clinicians in hospitals across the network have made sure that the Aria implementation supports its protocols, for example on e-prescribing. It is now offering to share its regimen library and user guides with other UK users of the system, to speed up implementations elsewhere.
Varian says a further benefit of the system is that it encourages clinicians to work with patients on treatment options and to review progress with them.

What steps have the trusts taken to avoid the development of information silos?
=In the abscence of any alternative should a trust not install a system that works? Put aside your prejudice against these silos and take a glance at the real world. General practice is streets ahead of all of you because we haev built on our "silos".
How does the A+E doctor know what chemotherapy the patient had in the previous week?
=err well he could allways deploy the most basic doctoring skill and communicate with his patient - ask them? He probably only needs to know it was chemo anyway - not the exact dose or type.
How will the trusts deal with ePresrcibing on the wards if cancer patients have their drugs prescribed in a different system?
=the two silos could be made to talk to each other.

Clinically significantunknown 282 weeks ago
It is very pleasing to see a clinical solution deployed that will bring benefit to patients now.
I'm sure that data for secondary use has value, it's however very important to not lose sight of the patients who need treatment.
Surely the big lesson of the past few years is that trying to do too much results in nothing being delivered
Well done to all who have installed real deliverables for oncology care.
Integration?unknown 282 weeks ago
It's good to hear of growing information networks.
Does it integrate with central returns data? It's all well and good having great quality, beautifully designed, clinically owned specialist datasets, but if it's:
a) Not validated against, or integrated with, hospital episode statistics, it is therefore
b) Not available for myriad secondary uses...
...then it forever remains a specialist toy, useful only for primary use, or at best, unvalidated, very patchy secondary uses.
With my secondary uses hat on, I'd say we desperately need to improve the quality of routinely collected, centrally submitted data.
I'm not sure narrowly-focused silos of information are the answer.

Jul 25, 2012Though the environment that birthed the appropriately titled Gossamer may be a bummer, the end product is winningly majestic as it is obviously spun by the most malevolent of spiders.
Jul 19, 2012Gossamer is still full of incredibly catchy choruses, dozens of layers of funky instrumental tracks, spazzy electronic flourishes and of course Michael Angelakos' sky-scraping falsetto. [Aug 2012, p.88]
Jul 20, 2012It has clearly come from a very damaged part of Angelakos' psyche, but Gossamer is a step up in sophistication and songcraft, and one of the year's stronger pop albums.
Jul 24, 2012An album that required a painstaking process to complete but sounds infinitely effortless in its pop arrangements and flicked-off soul ruminations.
Jul 23, 2012The onetime bedroom artist now makes first-rate pop anthems, gleaming rocketships of sound that wouldn't sound out of place on the radio next to Rihanna or Nicki Minaj. The tone might seem out of step with the lyrics, but it speaks to a certain resilience.
Jul 26, 2012The end result is an infectious pop album every bit as bright and dreamy as Manners yet far more straight-up, dark, honest and vulnerable.
Jul 23, 2012Gossamer's X-ray confessionals offer just enough intrigue to ignore its faults.
Jul 23, 2012While this second album seems genuine, and at times very good, it just doesn't excite and satisfy in quite the same way as the spontaneous creativity of the debut. 'Gossamer' is one giant juxtaposition that can't quite sit comfortably.
Jul 19, 2012While retaining this overactive production style, Angelakos manages to make Gossamer feel more effortlessly human, more like the self-realised artistic vision of an individual than Manners ever came close to being.
Jul 27, 2012If you can get behind all the cheery falsetto and high-on-life lyrics, their shiny, Flaming Lips-y thing works. [3 Aug 2012, p.74]
Jul 24, 2012One quibble is that Gossamer never really comes down off its Haribo rush, which gets exhausting. That said, when they do ease up, as on the boudoir-funk 'Constant Conversations', it resembles the two-a-penny synthpop that clogs the blogosphere.
Aug 8, 2012The music shines brighter than most of his pop contemporaries. In fact, the album is so successful on this level that I could choose any given song and laud it as one of the best tracks on the album.
Jul 23, 2012Anyone can manufacture hope through a slogan, but there's an empathy and humanity that simply can't be faked as Angelakos tries to figure out how to stay atop his life. It's hard to think of a more noble goal for a pop album.
Jul 23, 2012At its best Gossamer is, like its namesake, delicate at first glance but possessed of incredible molecular strength.
Jul 20, 2012Gossamer is huge, bombastic, and all over the place, spraying synths and outsized choruses like confetti over some deranged future-pop festival.
Jul 24, 2012Despite the emphasis on struggle, Gossamer couldn't sound more assured.
Jul 19, 2012The revelation in Gossamer is Angelakos's inner voice.
Jul 19, 2012A big moment is the ethereal R&B pastiche Constant Conversations, with Swedish a cappella trio Erato, but there are virtually no duds here.
Jul 23, 2012Gossamer is hard to fault, besides the fact that it's more of the same.
Jul 23, 2012"Gossamer" opens up the music and lets it breathe. For all the artificial splendor, there's clearly a very human, very troubled voice at the center of these songs.
Jul 23, 2012Gossamer has enough going on musically to shift the focus away from the occasionally mawkish lyrics.
Jul 19, 2012Luckily they are one of the few bands with stadium heft and the tunes to pull it off, rendering their big-heartedness euphorically justified. [Aug 2012, p.78]
Jul 26, 2012Passion Pit finds the perfect balance of being risky while still being lighthearted.

Jul 25, 2012I have been waiting for new music from Passion Pit for what seems now like decades. Well, not exactly its only been three years. But memoriesI have been waiting for new music from Passion Pit for what seems now like decades. Well, not exactly its only been three years. But memories of sitting on a carpeted floor, half-passed out in some either drug or alcohol induced trance at a friends house during my junior year of college seem too far gone.However, I can still feel the lollapalooza of emotion rush over my body with excitement and shear happiness upon my ears first introduction to the song Sleepy Head. As the high pitched sample in the background laid a base of enchantment accompanied by lead singer Michael Angelakos equally ear shattering high pitched voice I would automatically thrash my head around. A smooth mix of gleaming bells, a strong kick of drum. and more synth than you can shake a stick at (whatever that means) to boot. Ahhhhhhhh, memories. Before it was used in like a thousand commercials. The new album, Gossamer, carries on the high level of synth induced uplifted-ness and wonderment. However, there might not be a song on it that reaches the extreme peak of SleepyHead, though many of the tracks come dangerously close. The one that comes the closest is Mirrored Sea which feels like your stuck inside a vintage Japanese video game, trapped in a fast paced,triangular rocketship blasting through a 16 bit universe. Or like playing that ninja game in SCOTT PILGRIM running in place in ninjastance en route to fight evil forces. Not to say Mirrored Sea is necessarily the standout song of the album as this poppy hit riddled 12 track album is full of musical aptitude. My favorite is Constant Conversations which might as well be categorized as R&B will its mellow groove, possible moog created baseline, pizzicato strings, electronic creamy rhodes, and a few accenting piano keys drifting downward to emphasize the romantic beauty-scape. However, the lyrics sound like more of a doubting in the realness of the words being said to and from those in relationships, he might even be drunk in the first verse. Actually, if you listen closely for an indie/synthpop album the topics and overall feel of the lyrics of this album are against the pop grain. While happy, upbeat notes are struck strategically in the background, in the foreground Angelakos is dealing mostly with pain, struggle, fears, anxiety of losing control, and the true meaning of love which is greed. The latter is actually the name of a song called, of course, Love is Greed. "If we really love ourselves/ how can you love somebody else," Angelakos sings to depict the selfishness in wanting to have ownership over another person. My ears are happy again especially since MGMT's second album Congratulations was a bit of a let down. And not to mention its been 8 years since Empire of the Sun's Walking on a Dream was released. I would definitely say that Gossamer is a positive progression on Passion Pit's behalf and I'm proud to see them grow with out loosing their touch. Second albums are such critical moments in a bands career as high expectations can cause crippling results in direction of music as well as reception. Luckily, Passion Pit has passed the test. If anything the title GOSSAMER makes a mockery of such an opposed, strong album.… Full Review »

Japanese blog Macotakara has a satisfying accuracy score in the Apple rumor business, and it was widely quoted earlier this month on a claim that Apple's contract manufacturers Foxconn Electronics and Pegatron Technology issued orders to begin assembly of next-generation iPads for an early-March launch. Today, Macotakara reported that Apple would announce the iPad 3 in a media event due in March— ahead of the launch.
Previously, the blog claimed that a special Apple event to announce a new iPad was due in February and that the device was meant to go on sale the following month. Weirdly enough, Macotakara also said it heard from sources from Apple's supply chain that the company will indeed hold an event this month, which was described as "strange."
According to MacRumors' Arnold Kim who contacted the author of the Macotakara report, "The February event would not be a product event."
UPDATE: The Loop's Jim Dalrymple disputed the story, saying Apple will not hold an event in February (he's been right on these things before):
This is not going to happen, according to my sources. Apple will not hold an event in February, unusual or otherwise. That's it.

Rowing Travels to Occoquan
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University rowing takes to the water at the Head of the Occoquan in Fairfax, Va., on Saturday, Nov. 2, and at the Collegiate Small Boat Challenge in West Windsor, N.J., on Sunday, Nov. 3.
"Our entire team is looking forward to this weekend because it is the only time this fall when our entire team- varsity and novice squads- will compete together representing WVU," says coach Jimmy King.
Both the varsity and novice squads will be competing at the Head of the Occoquan on Saturday.
"It will be a good test to see how our novice squad has progressed from its first strokes in September to now, and to let them get a feel for competition," says coach Mandy Merritt, who is coaching the novice squad. "This, their first race, will be a learning experience and a good marker to tell me what we need to improve on to get ready for spring and championship racing later in the year."
Last season at the Head of the Occoquan, the Mountaineers earned top-10 finishes in the women's 4+ and the women's novice 8+.
"Unlike last weekend, the varsity eights race before the fours at the Head of the Occoquan where we'll strive for better performances in that class," King says. "Specifically, we're continuing to work on shrinking the spread among our three eights, while at the same time, improving our speed relative to our competitors."
A select varsity squad will travel to the Caspersen Rowing Center on Mercer Lake in N.J. on Sunday, Nov. 3. The inaugural event is hosted by the Princeton National Rowing Association. Sponsored events include: the women's 1x, women's 2x and women's 2-.
Last time out, the Mountaineers earned a bronze medal in the women's open 4+ at the Head of the Schuylkill in Philadelphia. The crew of Elizabeth Duarte, Elizabeth Kantak, Karen Verwey, Courtney Schrand and coxswain Emily Deming crossed the line in 16:55.31, finishing within three seconds of the first-place boat from Duquesne.

Roberto Martinez has played down his tactical acumen ahead of Wigan's clash with Blackburn on Monday night.
A run of eight mid-season defeats left Athletic rooted to the bottom of the table and seemingly destined for relegation. But the Spanish manager has turned that situation on its head - adopting a three-at-the-back system that has overhauled Wigan's play and put them into some of their best-ever Premier League form.
As a result, winning at Blackburn will assure them of safety, while a point will be almost good enough but, rather than pat himself on the back, Martinez is preferring to pass the credit on to his players, and he said: "Systems don't win games, players do."

Portable Pompeii???
G'day from Queensland, Australia!
I'm new to the forum and new to ovens, though I've admired all those that I've seen in restaurants. Love the flavour too!!! :p
Anyway, I've been toying with the idea of building a portable oven. Something that will sit on a steel trolley on the back timber deck of my house, like a BBQ.
At this stage, it all seems fundamental to me:
1. Buy, or build, a suitable trolley.
2. Build a small version of the Pompeii (about 2' internal dia.) on top of the trolley.
Easy, hey? Or is it???
If anyone has any suggestions or pitfalls that I may face, I'd love to hear them. T.I.A.
Jason (cookeetree)
check out this previous thread about size constraints with a wood-fired oven:
Hmmmm. Thanks for the link. It appears I won't have enough room for the fire and food at the same time.
Is it necessary to have the fire burning continually during cooking, or can I heat the dome then remove the fire / ash???
What about a two-level system, with the fire burning under a central, raised cooking area?? Does that make sense?
Basically, I want to limit the area it takes up, but height isn't as much of a concern. I don't want to have to build out from under the deck roof, on the ground, as I'd like it to double as an outdoor fireplace during winter.
G'Day Jaons,
I don't think there is a fast rule. It's true that my 26" oven wasn't great -- but it was a functioning oven and we used it all the time.
My view is that an imperfect brick oven is better than no brick oven -- so if there are constraints on budget or size that dictate doing something "less than perfect" in order to do the project, just go for it. Don't do something you will regret the moment you are done, or impose artificial constraints on your project, but other than that I would plow ahead.
I would also build a real oven, with fire in the oven cooking, rather than a tiered oven -- fire in the oven cooking is what makes these oven great.
For me, having a 26" oven made from clay brick and a simple hearth is better than not having an oven. If you can engineer your cart to hold a 30" oven you will like it a lot more, and if you use firebricks and do a good job of insulating the oven, you will like it even more.
also, if you want to go more of a bread or lower temp. pizza oriented oven, you might consider a cob (clay/straw/sand) oven. i've seen some pretty small designs for these guys, but you have to build the fire, store thermal energy, rake the coals out and cook. no fire-in-oven cooking for them.
there are some pretty neat designs possible with cob though, because you can sculpt with the material as you make the dome. you are limited to 600 deg. or so for a cooking temp.
Hey guys, thanks for the replies. Much appreciated.
James - My only real constraint is that I'd like for the oven to be on my deck. The deck is 10m x 5m, so it's not really a size issue, though I don't want it to be too massive. The deck is timber, so I can't really go building a permanent structure on it. Hence the trolley idea.
The system would still include the fire in the cooking area, but there would be a thick internal platform on which the cooking is done. I wouldn't be cooking directly over the fire. Does that make sense? If I have to, I'll just build one on the ground outside, but that would be as a last resort.
I work for a brick maufacturer, so getting hold of some refractory bricks shouldn't be a hassle. ;)
Paulages - I've got my heart set on building with brick, but thanks for the info.
Thanks again for your help!! :D
Thanks. All advice welcome.

Ketu (mythology)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2010)
|South Lunar Node
Ketu:Tail of Demon Snake, sculpture from the British Museum
|Sanskrit Transliteration
|Graha, Asura
|Oṃ Ketave Namaḥ
Ketu (Sanskrit: केतु, IAST: Ketú) () is the descending lunar node in Vedic, or Hindu astrology. After the head of Svarbhānu, an Asura, was cut off by God Vishnu, his head and body joined with a snake to form 'Ketu', representing the body without a head, and Rahu, representing the head without a body. According to some accounts in Hindu mythology, Ketu belongs to Jaimini Gotra, whereas Rahu is from Paiteenasa gotra and hence both are totally different entities with distinct characteristics and not two parts of a common body. Ketu is generally referred to as a "shadow" planet. It is believed to have a tremendous impact on human lives and also the whole creation. In some special circumstances it helps someone achieve the zenith of fame. Ketu is often depicted with a gem or star on his head signifying a mystery light.
Astronomically, Ketu and Rahu denote the points of intersection of the paths of the Sun and the Moon as they move on the celestial sphere. Therefore, Rahu and Ketu are respectively called the north and the south lunar nodes. The fact that eclipses occur when the Sun and the Moon are at one of these points gives rise to the understanding of swallowing of the Sun and the Moon by the snake (Rahu).
In ancient Tamil astrological scripts, Ketu was considered as incarnation of Indra. During a war with Asuras, Indra was defeated and took a passive form and a subtle state as Ketu. Indra spent this time realizing his past mistakes, and failures and that lead to spirituality towards Lord Shiva.
In Hindu astrology Ketu represents karmic collections both good and bad, spirituality and supernatural influences. Ketu is associated with the Meena Avatar (Fish Incarnation) of Vishnu. Ketu signifies the spiritual process of the refinement of materialization to spirit and is considered both malefic and benefic, as it causes sorrow and loss, and yet at the same time turns the individual to God. In other words, it causes material loss in order to force a more spiritual outlook in the person. Ketu is a karaka or indicator of intelligence, wisdom, non-attachment, fantasy, penetrating insight, derangement, and psychic abilities. Ketu is believed to bring prosperity to the devotee's family, removes the effects of snakebite and illness arising out of poisons. He grants good health, wealth and cattle to his devotees. Ketu is the lord of three nakshatras or lunar mansions: Ashvini, Magha and Mula.
Ketu is considered responsible for moksha, sannyasa, self-realization, gnana, a wavering nature, restlessness, the endocrine system and slender physique.
The people who come under the influence of Ketu can achieve great heights, most of them spiritual.
In his wife Siḿhikā, Vipracitti begot one hundred and one sons, of whom the eldest is Rāhu and the others are the one hundred Ketus.

As Booker T's got his top 5, well, so do I. I have been thinking about who goes where for a while now, and I finally came to a final verdict. Here it is:
5. Cody Rhodes
I have always been a fan of Cody ever since he had that mask on. I liked
As the show ended, you saw John Cena Beating on John Laurinaitis. Zack Ryder then came out to help on the attack on Johnny. They were having fun with him. Zack Ryder got a HUGE ovation when he came out. Then, Triple H comes out. "He's a human being, this isn't right. His chest is red but his back is white!" so he rips off Johnny's shirt to let Ryder give a huge slap to Johnny's Back. Pedigree
Updated 06-20-2012 at 06:10 AM by Dean Klebonas
This is my fourth top 5 post, and as many of you know, WWE 13' is coming out in October. I can't wait! Something i always look forward to in the WWE video games are the new additions to the roster. With many people debuting this year, there should be many new superstars in the roster. Here are the 5 people I'd like to see on the roster:
5. Jinder Mahal
This is my third top 5 and looking at the comments, I decided to change something, because I totally agree. There are so many talented superstars on the wwe Roster right now. Too many that are underestimated. A lot of superstars have the talent to be champion material... okay, maybe not championship, but they can be bigger than WWE is making them. Here they are:
Updated 05-30-2012 at 05:56 AM by Dean Klebonas
This is my second Top 5. My last one has had a lot of arguing, but I think this one will be a little more agreeable. A lot of great championships have disapeared over the years, so here are the the ones that should come back:
5. Cruiserweight Championship
This championship
I decided to start a series of posts call Top 5. Today I'm going to name 5 people who should return to wwe.
5. Batista
Batista is one of the most remembered stars in WWE. He was a great superstar. If Batista was to return to WWE, I could see him easily being a champion.
These are the people that I think deserve to be champions. I based this on their in-ring ability, status (popular or not), their mic skills, and I also think back to when these people did hold these championships and thought if they were good the the championships or not. Here it is:
WWE Champion: The Miz

The lake render is nice. I like the water splash. I do have to admit though, that the figure's head looks out of proportion to it's body, which kind takes me out of the image.
I find it somewhat liberating not to be encumbered by accuracy.
Trying to decide on a design for a house for when I retire. This one is modeled after a real house in Northern California. One cool thing about 3D modelling is you can design a basic concept and then give it to the architect and he can make it work. Or more likely, tell you "what are you, nuts?? This will never work".
The one with the girl and a dragon is called Rare moments of peace and the other is Power lying dormant. Both have been enhanced in photoshop in the attempt to figure out how the whole postwork part. First less than the second.

Slight update to one I have been working on off and on called "The Rescue".
Still a WIP.
Ilena52, my 2 cents on your images…
I like the sense of the images, but you really like dark images, don't you?
Honestly, in my initial views of the two images, especially the second, I couldn't figure out what they were. If you bring the second into Photoshop and check the levels, you'll see that 90% of the image is almost totally black. Now I know you want it dark to imply suspense and imminent danger, but areas of total or near black don't really provide any sensation or interest. And the character hiding in the darkness is pretty much indistinguishable, and without some clear highlighting you can't see the evil in his eyes, or even what he is. Maybe a single shaft of light piercing the trees and only partially lighting his face, to show evil glowing eyes and a toothy snarl, dripping saliva, etc.
The first image is a similar, but not as much. It is mostly black or white, with very little midrange. I honestly couldn't tell from the dragon's wings what it was, and it looked more like some sort of spear or weapon in her hand. I assume you want the second image to have a sense of serenity, but with such a high contrast image with only black and white, you're losing the opportunity to have softness and beauty, such as soft light streaming thru the green leaves casting a serene soft light on everything. I think that, by not really showing much more than the dragon's wings, you've also lost the opportunity to depict a very interesting character, a pet dragon that would make most viewers think "Ahhh, how sweet…"
Given the choice between totally black and/or totally white, versus a fuller range of color and shading, I think choosing a fuller range can give you the opportunity to depict a lot more emotion and dynamics and story. And that certainly doesn't mean you need to make all your dark areas light, just give them a slightly broader dynamic range to provide some interest. The old masters of black and white film noir were experts at that. But with CG we have even more control and can paint an even broader range of emotion.
Here's an image I just put together to try and illustrate the point I was trying to make.
In this image there is only one spotlight, no ambient, and a very narrow angle on the spot. As you can see, most of the image is black. However, the purpose of the black is solely to frame the important part of the image, which has a very broad dynamic range. And because of that dynamic range, you have the opportunity to show the viewer the implied power (the character's detailed muscles), the interest of the character's skin texture, etc. But you also show with just a single simple light the rage in the character's face, but also have the darkness and shadow which implies danger, mystery, etc.
The point is that blackness in an image is not a bad thing, but if you use it where you could be exposing some useful or interesting texture, then you could be missing an big opportunity to provide emotion, tension, mystery, etc.
BTW, paulbrake, I forgot to mention your Serengeti image…
It's just gorgeous. A rare case of someone using colors to really set a mood. Very nice. And great poses for the zebras.
My only difficulty with the image is the rather awkward posing of the zebra's legs, especially the one on the right. It's front leg closest the camera looks like it's broken. Not sure of the names for horse parts, but the femur looks like it's broken since the "shoulder" part isn't rotated like I *think* it should be. Might be a good opportunity to check some reference images for running horses.
With june contest where the theme was light and its tips and explanations I though I'd tackle with the topic and try to make something.Don't know if this image shows that I'm one step closer to understanding how it works.
Looks pretty good. The lighting certainly looks like you've been working on it. The only thing it lacks is a sense of movement in the main figure. With the cloudy backdrop and the dragons wheeling around in the background your scene suggests that there should be some blowing wind. The hair should have morphs to adjust it's shape to appear windblown. I'm sure that the skirts do as well. Just remember, these are only suggestions, so if you don't think it fits your idea, then that's cool.

The residents of Taliding Kunjang, under the aegis of the Social Welfare-UNICEF established Community Child Protection Committee (CCP), last Sunday, organized an informal community confab on Child Rights issues.
"The discussions were meant to create awareness on issues that are affecting the community," disclosed Modou Lamin K. Sanneh, an official from Social Welfare.
He added "the Commitees were established in 2009 for them to respond to all forms of abuse and exploitation of children in various communities. "
Pierre Jatta, a Social Welfare officer and co-cordinator of the committee, in an interview, revealed that the rationale of the CCP's is based on the realization that the protection of children from abuse, neglect, exploitaion and violence can only be effective and successful if communities recognise the problem and actively participate in their protection.
According to the cordinators, the creation of community awareness on matters of child rights and protection issues, coupled with willingness on the part of the communities to assume collective action of child rights protection, is essential in child rights protection.
A host of issues besetting the lives of children were discussed and these include the phenomena of school drop-outs, teenage pregnancy, discipline and the children's increasing involvement in the scavenging of scrap metals at dumpsites, and which attracted the attention of the community.
Hon. Babou Gaye-Sonko, chairman of the Talinding Kunjang Community Child Protection Community, enjoined on the elderly members of the community to instil discipline in the children. He said there is an ardent need for the community to assume a collective parentage role over the children.
Magistrate Asemota told the gathering of over one hundred and fifty people that the increase in the rate of school drop-outs is explained by a number of factors or multifaceted and called on parents not to waiver in their parental responsibilties. He told them to always dialogue with their children in order to always ascertain what is bothering them.

Customer Reviews of TaxCut Premium Federal + State + E-file by H&R Block
Not good this time3/27/2008
1. There is problem in Taxcut if you have excess contribution in HSA but withdrawn that amount before deadline date. It never ask this question and results in wrong filing, penalty & more taxes. I have to re-file it. 2. Also it does not says on cover that you cannot e-file if you are filing w-7 with regular taxes. So e-file just went wasted without being used. ($31 value)
TaxCut Impresses Me Once Again3/16/2008
I admit I haven't tried the other tax software products. For the last ten years or so I've used TaxCut to prepare my taxes. I can usually do it in about an hour. The wizard approach is so easy, and the help screens so simple, I wonder why anyone would do it differently. The price is right, too. I think it cost me about $60 for the software and e-filing of federal and state returns. The included DeductionPro software will save me about $300 in taxes alone. For these reasons, I won't switch to another tax software any time soon.
Reliable Product3/2/2008
As with any tax program, it is as good as the data you put in. I have used Tax Cut for over 7 years and found it to be reliable and to do the job with general ease. Some complex issues are dealt with as best they can with information they provide and short of a CPA doing the preparation. I like it better than Turbo Tax but this could be simply my years of using the same program.

Alright, maybe this is a little premature. The Cardinals haven't cut Matt Leinart yet. Heck, they haven't even announced who their starting quarterback will be. But its fun to look ahead and wonder where the former top-10 pick may end up. Here are the five most likely destinations:
5. Bills – They already have four incredibly mediocre quarterbacks on the roster, so why take on another? Well they've already seen Fitzpatrick, Brohm and Edwards in action and none of them have shown much upside. Perhaps bringing Leinart to Buffalo – the NFL's Siberia – would get him out of the hot tub and into the film room.
4. Jaguars – Jack Del Rio isn't particularly fond of David Garrard. Luke McCown is the current backup and appears to have played well enough this summer to make the Jaguars comfortable with him as an option if Garrard went down. But that doesn't mean Del Rio wouldn't make a push for the team to sign Leinart, a fellow USC alum, to add another body to the mix fighting Garrard for a starting spot.
3. Texans – Matt Schaub is on the verge of stardom, so Leinart wouldn't be competing for playing time in Houston. However, Dan Orlovsky is the current backup and Schaub has a fairly extensive injury history. At worst Leinart would be a slight upgrade.
2. Giants – With Jim Sorgi headed to the IR, the Giants are left with Rhett Bomar as their backup. Bomar is a developmental prospect who likely isn't ready to see an NFL field. Leinart would be a significant upgrade and give them adequate insurance behind Manning.
1. Bears – The Bears have asked (and begged) every available veteran quarterback to come replace Caleb Hanie as Jay Cutler's backup. Perhaps Leinart will finally be the man for the job.
What? No Seahawks? Here's my reasoning: who knows Leinart better than any coach other than Ken Whisenhunt? Pete Carroll. He is all too well aware of the lifestyle that Leinart leads and knows that that isn't what it takes to win the NFL. He's content with his combo of Hasselbeck and Whitehurst. It's unlikely that they would bring Leinart aboard just to compete for a backup job which wouldn't even be guaranteed.

S. Korean Authorities Urged to Accept Special Proposal of DPRK
|Pyongyang, July 9 (KCNA) -- The internet newspaper of Koreans in the U.S. Minjok Thongsin in a commentary on July 1 urged the south Korean authorities to accept the special proposal made by the DPRK.
The commentary said the south Korean authorities denied in fact the special proposal of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, disappointing the Koreans at home and abroad desirous of peace.
This shows, in the final analysis, that they do not have intent to improve the relations with the north, the commentary said.
The commentary recalled the assertion made by the minister of Unification of south Korea that it has exerted efforts to substantially improve the south-north ties by respecting all agreements reached between the south and the north including the July 4 joint statement and on the basis of confidence through dialogue and cooperation.
This only betrayed his ignorance of what are the contents of the July 4 joint statement and his lack of proper understanding of the principles of independence, peaceful reunification and great national unity specified in it, the commentary added.
As a matter of fact, the south Korean authorities have not adhered to the principle of independence in the south-north ties, said the commentary, and continued:
The south Korean authorities have persistently violated the principle of peaceful reunification enshrined in the July 4 joint statement.
They also designated the north as "enemy", not considering it as their counterpart with whom to achieve the great national unity.
They should accept the special proposal of the NDC of the DPRK if they truly respect the July 4 joint statement.

Some will say that baseball has divided the region. The Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals, who are in different leagues and don't even play each other lest they both make the fall classic, seem to be mutually exclusive fandoms.
At least, that's the premise of NBC 4's latest promos. These videos, completely bereft of #NatriolesMagictude, depict a DMV split into two factions, each side leery of the other. The schism affects the playground, dog walks, even the TV room.
