by Arthur Ollman
Publisher:Bulfinch Press
Photographer and author Arthur Ollman explores nine couples whose collaborations as photographer and wife have resulted in a series of pictures that speak volumes about marriage itself, the distinction between self and other, the observer and the observed. In another writer's hands the subject could have become merely a gimmick, an excuse for a book, but in Ollman's it has extraordinary depth. He is an engaging writer and a thoroughgoing scholar who studied the couples he portrays, and he writes with understanding, balance, and respect about mental illness, suicide, loss of love, loss of life, and the simple vagaries of daily, entwined responsibilities.
The photographers are Baron Adolph de Meyer, Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Harry Callahan, Emmet Gowin, Lee Friedlander, Masahisa Fukase, Seiichi Furuya, and Nicholas Nixon--three of whom still photograph the wives whose long-lost, limber years are included here. In a long introductory essay, Ollman touches on a dozen important themes: the definition of muse, the ambitions of the subject, the role of the photographer in "postmortem recording," the vulnerability of both artist and subject, the collaborative role of the wife, the difference in depictions of wives as opposed to mistresses (he scathingly deconstructs Andrew Wyeth's secret, near-predatory relationship with the silent, compliant Helga), and the mutuality that these nine relationships exude. "Only the most secure or brazen persist in the long-term portrayal of their spouse," he concludes. In the chapters that follow, Ollman writes brief histories of the photographers and marriages represented by carefully chosen series of pictures. This is a beautifully nuanced book on every level: visual, verbal, and imaginative. --Peggy Moorman

Arizona Diamondbacks
Getting to know new Arizona Diamondbacks prospect Matt Stites
The Arizona Diamondbacks swung a deal Wednesday, sending right-handed pitcher Ian Kennedy to the San Diego Padres in exchange for lefty reliever Joe Thatcher, minor league reliever Matt Stites and a 2014 draft pick.
D-backs fans know about Thatcher -- he's pitched in 40 games against Arizona during his seven-year career.
But what about this Stites kid?
The 23-year-old pitched at the University of Missouri and was a 17th round pick of the Padres in 2011. Since then, he's thrived in San Diego's minor league system, going 8-2 with a 1.53 ERA in 114 relief appearances.
D-backs GM Kevin Towers likes pitchers who throw strikes, and Stites fits the bill. While pitching at Single-A Fort Wayne in 2012, Stites walked only three of the 175 batters he faced in 42 games. This season, at Double-A San Antonio, he had walked only eight batters in 52.0 innings as the Missions' closer.
Baseball America's Matt Eddy has great things to say about Stites.
Stites has as much upside as just about any relief prospect in the high minors, and he's a fast-riser who pitched in the Arizona Fall League last year and jumped to Double-A this year.
As far as his scouting report, Eddy offers this on the newest D-backs minor leaguer.
Stites generates double-plus velocity (94-98 mph) from an undersized, 5-foot-11 frame, working both sides of the plate with late life. He doubles up his fastball with an outstanding high-80s curveball that features late biting action. Stites led the Texas League with 14 saves at the time of the trade, and he ranked among the top TL relievers with a .194 opponent average, unintentional walk rate of 1.2 per nine innings and 0.87 WHIP.
Here's what some others are saying about Stites:
Towers said minor league reliever Matt Stites was compared to Craig Kimbrel by Dbacks scout Bill Gayton.— Nick Piecoro (@nickpiecoro) July 31, 2013
Good reports on Stites, who went to Dbacks in Kennedy deal. Couple of scouts raving about his arm. And 51 Ks, 8 bbs at Double A this summer— Scott Miller (@ScottMCBS) July 31, 2013
Matt Stites is one of my favorite relief prospects. Plus fastball & slider, lots of strikes, doesn't get hit. Nice get for #Diamondbacks.— Jim Callis (@jimcallisBA) July 31, 2013
Stites is a big time bullpen prospect could very well be Diamondbacks closer next season, he's that good....— John Gambadoro (@Gambo620) July 31, 2013
It's also worth noting that Stites underwent emergency appendectomy surgery this week that will end his 2013 season.

Tel Aviv University has been appointed by the Israel National Nanotechnology Initiative (INNI) to lead a consortium on "Nanomedicines for Personalized Theranostics," a combined system of diagnostics and therapeutic treatments. This consortium of 11 laboratories will be dedicated to developing nano-sized drug delivery systems for the detection and treatment of various diseases. Eight of the labs are TAU-led, with additional participation from Hebrew University Jerusalem, Bar-Ilan University and Ben Gurion University of the Negev.
The $11.5 million project, designated a Focal Theology Area (FTA) within the INNI and scheduled to last five years, is poised to create a center of excellence in nanotechnology in Israel, says Scientific Director Prof. Dan Peer of TAU's Department of Cell Research and Immunology and Center for Nano Science and Nano Technology. The FTA will be supported by an international scientific advisory board, headed by internationally renowned Prof. Robert Langer of MIT.
The ultimate goal is to design a new class of drugs that can destroy faulty proteins in angiogenesis-dependent diseases that involve the growth of new blood vessels from existing vessels including cancer, infectious diseases and heart diseases and deliver these drugs safely into the body. Beyond the academic realm, the group aims to create spin-off companies based on licensed technologies they develop, creating the basis for a thriving biotechnology industry within Israel.
Building a successful industry
Although considered a beacon of research and development, the field of biotechnology in Israel has suffered drawbacks, both in academia and industry. Higher salaries lure the best minds abroad, and international companies have more private capital with which to sustain businesses.
"Israel has amazing intellectual resources, but we are constantly combating budget constraints. With this project, the idea is to create future te

Anti-Slavery Day: One victim of child sex trafficking is one too many
Every year hundreds of children are trafficked for sexual exploitation and labour in the UK. But the criminals are rarely found or punished. Why?
It's your twelfth birthday, and you've recently lost your mother.
You've never met your father, and as a result you are cared for by relatives. They struggle to feed and clothe you, so out of economic necessity you must leave school to sell whatever you can on the streets.
A man befriends you and your relatives, offering a better life in another country. There is hope when things seemed desperate. A place where you can go to school, get a good education, earn money and be successful. The offer seems too good to be true. But you're yet to discover that it is.
When you arrive in the country, you're taken to a strange place. It doesn't look how you imagined. The language sounds very different.
When the night is over and the men have left, you're left alone. The bleeding has stopped, but the tears still come in sporadic bursts. This experience is repeated daily and you've lost count for how long.
That country is the United Kingdom. And this is the reality for hundreds of children every year.
When some children go missing from the UK, there is a prompt investigation, search, campaign, and a shared sense of shared hope that they are safely found.
The children who are trafficked into the UK are often unable to speak the language to ask for help, and there is no one in the country to report them missing.
In 2011, there were just eight convictions for human trafficking.
In 2011, there were just eight convictions for human trafficking. And this includes adult cases. The data isn't separated between adult and child, but every year hundreds of children and young teenagers who have been trafficked are discovered by charities and local authorities – and these are just those who have managed to escape the clutches of their captors.
Today the Home Office are to release a report revealing that numbers of human trafficking are rising. With anti-slavery day today, what better time than now for the Home Office to publicly address the issue.
Slavery sounds like it should be confined to history books, but the reality is very different for many children. Sexual exploitation is the most prevalent type of child trafficking in the UK, but they are also forced into slave labour and organised crime.
Christine Beddoe, from the charity End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and the Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT), feels that there is a culture of disbelief in the UK when it comes to acknowledging cases of trafficking:
"The government tend to brush cases of child trafficking under the carpet."
"The government tend to brush cases of child trafficking under the carpet," says Beddoe.
"The children are considered immigrants, and with deportation being a greater concern than justice, their perpetrators aren't punished, and are left to commit the same crimes to other children."
The June report from the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, which is part of the Serious Organised Crime Agency, acknowledged the scale of the problem:
The UK continues to be a significant transit and destination country for child trafficking, with reporting confirming the existence of child trafficking both into and within the UK.
And yet there were only eight convictions in 2011.
Described as a high-profit, low-risk crime, the EU encourages use of an independent watchdog to ensure action – but the Home Office continues to hold back. As a result, the data on child trafficking is insufficient and there are no mandatory guidelines to follow when a child is found.
As these children arrive with no family or support, ECPAT suggest that each child should have a system of legal guardianship to represent their case and be responsible for their welfare:
"Nobody chases it up when they go missing. The government seem completely resistant to it [the introduction of legal guardians], with one major reason seeming that as many of these young people are from abroad, they are technically illegal immigrants."
How do they prove they are who they say they are?
Apart from the primary concern of deportation, there are many obstacles to identifying trafficked children. As well as a lack of belief of their extraordinary story, they have been groomed to keep silent, and even threatened. Even for those children who are fortunate enough to break away and tell their story, they face a further problem: how do they prove they are who they say they are? Without a passport or identification they are then put through the unpleasant process that illegal immigrants face, without anyone to believe their story.
For one girl, Aluna* (*not her real name), this was the case. Over the years her body reached puberty, and she was no longer considered useful to her abusers and their customers. After being abandoned, she managed to find a police station. When she tried to explain in broken English where she was from and what she had been through, she was thrown in a cell.
Beddoe says: "As seen with the allegations surrounding Jimmy Savile, we are still living in a culture where the adult's word is taken over the child's - so children don't come forward. And if they do, they aren't believed."
"Our concern is to keep children safe but this is often in conflict with the Border Agency who treat them as if they are asylum seekers."
"The fact is," she adds, "the legislation is there to convict criminals for child trafficking, but both the police and other professionals don't take it seriously."
There is a significantly higher number of victims than investigations and convictions.
As a result of the lack of resources, the number of victims identified via the National Referral Mechanism, who record the data on victims, shows there is a significantly higher number of victims than criminal investigations and convictions.
Beddoe describes how the legislation is difficult to pursue, and as the Crown Prosecution Service will only take cases which will prosecute, and the police struggle to meet the threshold of evidence required, the cases aren't put forward.
"The police have their hands tied if the legislation is not fit for purpose. There's one answer to this problem: change the legislation."
"The Crown Prosecution Service are favourable to starting from scratch and re-writing the law to bring it up to date. But there's not enough pressure internally to do this. It takes political will."
The Independent on Sunday successfully campaigned for the UK to sign up to the EU directive on human trafficking in March last year, and the Coalition government promised vast improvements on tackling the trade and exploitation of humans, to strengthen our laws and to protect victims, making it easier to prosecute those who enslave them, but over a year and a half later, and we're yet to see the results.
There is a general acceptance within the EU that the UK isn't doing as much as we should be, and that our European neighbours are better at enforcing laws to stop trafficking, and prosecuting those involved. The recent report from the Council of Europe's Greta (Group of Experts on Action Against Trafficking in Human Beings) said we need better trained supervisors or foster carers for trafficked children. They suggested a "significant" number of trafficked children in care go missing - and some even end up rejoining those who exploited them in the first place.
The reality is, we accommodate traffickers and the abuse of their silent victims.
We are used to hearing the word "trafficking", but it can so easily be dismissed as a foreign concept. The reality is, in the UK, we accommodate traffickers and the abuse of their silent victims. The problem is vast and widespread, with cases in Belfast, Derby, Portsmouth, Cardiff, London, Totness, Oxford, Croydon, Birmingham, Manchester and Bristol.
Child sex trafficking is happening, but arrests aren't, and neither are prosecutions. And so on Anti-Slavery Day, there's a question to propose to the Home Office:
We know there are victims, but where are the perpetrators?

LEGAL CASE: 7 July 2011
A man was convicted of trafficking two Nigerian girls who had been controlled by Juju magic rituals - this was the first case of its kind in Europe.
Anthony Harrison, 32, imprisoned both girls - aged 14 and 16 - at his east London home before attempting to traffic them to Spain and Greece as prostitutes.
It took police two years to persuade them to speak openly about their ordeal, due to their fear after the ritual.
It was suggested he took over from Kennedy Johnson imprisoned in 2009 for trafficking – and was even possibly related to him.
Johnson trafficked dozens of Nigerian teenagers, some as young as thirteen, into and out of the UK for sexual exploitation.
The case received minimal media coverage at the time, and the whereabouts of Johnson's child victims are still mostly unknown. Johnson was sentenced to just six years, and lessons from this case have never been circulated to Local Authorities.
The Netherlands are renowned as among the best in Europe for their practices in tackling trafficking. They have a dedicated National Rapporteur on Human Trafficking (as do many other countries in Europe, including Finland and Czech Republic) which the UK still lacks. Corinne Dettmeijer-Vermeulen, said:
"Children need our protection. This is well recognised in the new EU-Directive, as it should be. I have found that in the Netherlands the conviction rate where minors are concerned [in sex trafficking] is higher than average. But still, every child victim is one too many."
- The 489 child potential victims who were found to have been trafficked into the UK in 2011 were from 43 countries. Romania 20%, Vietnam 13%, Nigeria 11%, internal trafficking within the UK 9%.
- Exploitation type was unknown in 22% of child cases. Sexual explitation 30%, criminal exploitation 26%, labour exploitation 13% and domestic servitude 7%.
- The SOCA assessment says: "It is likely that the true number of victims in trafficking is higher than that identified in this assessment."

Background: Hyperglycemia is common after stroke in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. Furthermore, it has been associated with infarct expansion, worse functional outcomes and higher mortality. In a previous study, infarction of the insular region was related to higher poststroke glucose levels than infarcts in other cortical areas. Experimental studies in animal models suggested that the lower brainstem nuclei of the vagus nerve modulate insulin secretion. These nuclei are usually affected in lateral medullary infarction (LMI). We evaluated whether patients with lateral medullary stroke have worse poststroke glycemic control than other stroke patients. Methods: A hospital-based stroke registry was used to identify 26 patients from the years 2000 to 2010 who fulfilled the following inclusion criteria: (1) a first-ever stroke; (2) neurological deficits compatible with LMI; (3) MRI confirmation of an ischemic lesion of the lateral medulla involving the vagus nerve nuclei, and (4) no simultaneous infarcts. Patients were excluded if they were admitted to the hospital more than 24 h after stroke onset or died in the first 24 h after hospital admission. A control group of other stroke patients was randomly selected from the same stroke registry and over the same time period, matching for the age and gender of the LMI group. The average glycemia was compared between the two groups using a linear regression model adjusted for confounders. Glycated hemoglobin at admission was used to estimate prestroke glycemic control. Prestroke glycemic averages were then compared with poststroke glycemia for the two groups using the Wilcoxon signed test for related samples. Results: The average glycemia of the LMI patients in the first 24 h after stroke was 9.4 mmol/l (SD 3.2), and from 24 to 72 h it was 7.6 mmol/l (SD 2.8). In the comparison group, these values were 7.7 (SD 2.8) and 7.1 mmol/l (SD 2.7), respectively. As expected, diabetic patients had a significantly higher glycemia than nondiabetic patients (p < 0.0001). The adjusted linear regression model showed the average glycemia differences to be significant for the first 24 h (p = 0.001; R2 = 55.6%) but not for the 24– 72 h period. The frequency of previous diabetes mellitus was similar in both groups. As compared to prestroke glycemic estimates, glycemia in lateral medullary stroke patients increased significantly more than in controls during the first 24 h after stroke (p = 0.01), but again there were no significant differences for the 24–72 h period. Conclusions: This study suggests that ischemic lesions of the vagus nerve nuclei are associated with worse early poststroke glycemic control than stroke in other locations. Confirmation of this hypothesis and the long-term implications of glucose control impairment warrant further prospective studies.

Just another day at work for Bolts
Blue and gold, meet the red and green
"It means the same thing in the season record," said wide receiver Vincent Jackson. "They're not going to put an asterisk by it that says 'Christmas Day' or anything like that. We'll approach it like any Sunday."
That it's a game in this particular month has taken on more meaning to those who've come to think of the Chargers as "December's Team." If they've proven anything about themselves, it's that they're at their sharpest when the regular season is at its most critical juncture, and none of the San Diego players interviewed made it sound as if the date of the game or the holiday season in general are sources of distraction.
"Like any other game," said cornerback Quentin Jammer. "We're excited to play. We don't care what day we play. Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Christmas. We love to play, so whenever we get that chance, we're happy.
"I chose to play this sport, a sport that's treated me great. So I don't mind. Whatever it takes. We'll just make Christmas on Saturday. The family understands."
Jammer and his wife, Alicia, have three young children. His family stayed in San Diego and will celebrate Christmas tomorrow. That's the same plan being utilized by running back Jacob Hester, whose wife Katie gave birth to their first child just three months ago.
"I won't be able to see him on his first Christmas Day," said Hester. "That's the one thing about this that kinda stings."
Because the game is so close to where he grew up in Alabama, quarterback Philip Rivers has been accompanied to Nashville by his already considerable family. His wife, Tiffany, is expecting their fifth child after New Year's. Rivers' kids — ages 7, 5, 3 and 1 — will be at the game.
"We've made it a, 'Isn't it weird Dad is playing on Christmas? Isn't that crazy?' " said Rivers. "(And) you get to come to the game.' "
Nashville is little more than an hour away from the part of Alabama where Rivers was born and raised, and even closer to his wife's family in Franklin, Tenn.
"That's where Tiff and (the kids) will be," said Rivers. "I couldn't do the whole 'Try to make Christmas on the 26th.' I couldn't handle them being here (in San Diego) on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day — my wife and four kids, that's not a very fun Christmas.
"Santa Claus will come to Nashville, but there will be some (gifts) we leave behind."
The team did its gift exchanges a couple of days ago, position by position. A team dinner, including family members in the traveling party, was to be held last night at the Chargers' hotel in Nashville.
"If you've been in the NFL a while, you know you have to work around the holidays — Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, Martin Luther King Day," said Jim Steeg, the chief operating officer. "You're usually either playing or practicing on the holidays."
The Chargers have it a bit tougher than the Titans in that they're on the road, and since Nashville's two times zones away, the team traveled two days before the game to get acclimated.

The crew dissects the unique moonscape at Grant's place and then they really cut loose and go warp speed on some gigantic concrete waves.
The Big Dog flew down South and captured Grant, Raven, Raney and the homies decimating the Kennesaw park. There's more to this ATL excursion. This is only Part 1...
Omar Salazar starts with a trip into the backwoods hills of Sacramento and happens upon a hidden treasure. Never leave a backyard ramp unshredded, no matter what the condition.
No patience for webisodes? Well quit your bitchin' and watch the entire SOTY Nawwssty trip video right here, right now. Kinda like your family vacation except with way more skating and way less grandmas.
A rainy day takes the Ishod skate party over to Lil' Wayne's private park, plus there's a crazy Jersey barrier session here. Thanks for an epic trip everyone.
The Ishod Skater of the Year party continues with more hot Miami moves before the whole crew goes to the Cayman Islands. And lastly, Ishod ends it with a pure street hammer.
Mixing serious skate missions with a raging vacation produces one hell of a good time. Here's Ishod's Skater of the Year trip including Koston, Grant, Brock, Piscopo, Brockel, Donnelly, and Perez.
Cory and Grant reveal their cross-training secrets, Frost walks on walls and the SOTY gets shut down in his final hour.
To celebrate his Skater of the Year award, Ishod hit the road with Eric Koston, Cory Kennedy, Grant Taylor, and many others. This is gonna be rad. First part premieres here on Monday.
The whole Lower Bobs crew put in some serious blood, sweat, and beers here. Long live the DIY and a big cheers to everyone who made it happen!
Killing time with SOTY 2011. Grant Taylor lays down the lines and the tunes. Knockin' down SOTYs worldwide. Guess who's next?
Holy smokes. Every individual D-Rock part is already an edit of the best skating that went down. This incredible, ultra-selective montage is what you get when those edits are combined even further.

I owned and sold this car
Reason: Began to have too many issues.
Pros: "Room, relaiblity, features."
Cons: "Mileage, cost to own/operate."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"Got one for the wife. Bought it new a base but adequately equipped S model with AWD. We owned it for 9 years and put 189K on it. We had 1 issue around 100k with the door locks failing to engage and the rear hatch not able to open from the outside. This small issue cost us $700 at the dealer. This was our first CVT car and although i was nervous about it (especially with its history) it operated flawlessly right up to the day we traded the car. The 3.5V6 was also flawless right up to the day of trade (still having the original plugs in it). Around 160K we had an inlet pipe on the muffler rust out (common for this car) and got it welded for $100. At 180K+ we started needing axel shafts and wheel bearings and decided it was time to part ways with the Murano. We liked the car but... were very dissappointed in the mileage and that it didnt last another year or two and go past 200K. Mileage on regular in mixed/mostly highway driving was 18.5-19.5MPG. Factor the dissappointing mileage, the expense of the big tires and the repairs into the price of the vehile and the financing and this was an expensive vehicle to own and operate which dissappointed us. So a good Car but not a great car."

The driver did not see the red light. I received a slight burn on my upper arm & a stiff neck, from the air bags deploying, but that's it!! My Murano was my life saver with the curtain and side air bags, along with the reinforced steel crash bar!! WE LOVED OUR MURANO AND WILL BE GETTING A NEW ONE!!!!!! Our daughter and her family also drive one because of it's looks and now knowing just how safe they really are!!!! We highly recommend this vehicle to anyone at any age!!

"My Murano looks good and is comfortable to ride in, even when traveling w/ 5 adults. To this point I have not had any major defects, but did have to install new tires after 23,000 miles (at nearly $120/tire)--due the the AWD, all 4 must be replaced at once. The quality of the vehicle is really what bothers me most. I bought the car new and am very good to my cars, and yet it seems to have many squeaks and rattles. The lumbar support has never seemed to work-at all, and the range of the power seats is limited. I came out of an Audi A4 prior to the Murano and I can tell you the AWD on the Murano is not even in the same ball park-if the reason for purchasing the Murano is for poor weather conditions, do yourself a favor and keep shopping. If you want a fairly comfortable ride and want to look good driving it, you may appreciate this car. For me, this is a leased car. Although I have owned worse cars, when it ends in 8 months I will not be going into another Murano."

Pros: "nice looking car. Does well in snow"

"We purchased an 07 used June of 10 at 49000 miles. Great until 71K in 2011. Front axle assemblies $350, Engine mounts $700. Now at 100k both front control arms $600 and front axle assembly again for $400. There is constantly a noise somewhere on this vehicle. I removed the driver visor and squeezed the pivot point with pliers to prevent it from falling down while driving and the road noise is very loud with bad gas mileage. We rarely get rid of a car with less than 150-200k but we are going to start looking."

Ben-Yea! Saints TE Benjamin Watson excited to be in New Orleans
by Deke Bellavia
posted Mar 22 2013 10:03AM
He just welcomed in the newest addition to his family and he has a new employer. Things are fast-paced right now for new Saints tight end Benjamin Watson, who joined me and Bobby for a chat.
"In free agency, you don't know what to expect. But to have a team like the Saints, an organization that is so well run to call on me was exciting. And it is definitely exciting to come down to New Orleans. I can tell you me and my family are excited to be here," Watson said on SportsTalk.
The Saints inked Watson last week to a three year deal. Watson played in 45 games with the Cleveland Browns with 41 starts. Watson had a nice season in 2012 with 49 catches for 501 yards with three touchdowns.
We asked Watson about teaming up with his new fellow tight end Jimmy Graham. "I haven't met Jimmy yet but just watching him the past few years he really is an amazing talent and hopefully we can complement each other in a lot of ways."
Watson has played nine seasons in the NFL with his start being with the New England Patriots. He was drafted with the final pick of the 2004 NFL draft by New England, going on to have a productive career in nine NFL seasons. Benjamin has started 88 starts with 321 receptions for 3,776 yards and 28 touchdowns.
Bobby went on to ask Benjamin if he is a complete tight end in the NFL. "It's taken some time," he replied. "Early in my career I'd say I was not a complete Tight End. But over the past seasons in Cleveland I've really developed both sides of my game."

Great find!
Another washed up, undersized, over hyped free agent by force. Now that he's in nola the press wants to call him by his full name. Like that alone can resurrect his plummeting career........ he will be martyred with the rest of them
He'll Be a Great #2 Tight End Behind Jimmy Graham
Don't pay attention to the man behind the previous post! LOL, Benjamin Watson is a veteran TE, similiar to David Thomas whom was released earlier this year. He's a capable backup to Jimmy Graham, and can be used in double TE sets to create mismatches with opposing defenses. I believe he'll be a great fit for the Big Easy. WHO DAT?!
who dat double Te
This is a great pick up for the Saints. If he can get 500 yards with the watch out when Drew Brees is throwing to him. BIG TIME great sign for the Saints!
What team released him?
The one with "The Natural" at quarterback... Dat's who. This man did about 32 ypg last season. Now how can ben watson even compare to hold up on the run as good as his predecessor? He won't because he is undersized and is not an offensive lineman. Drew better be on guard for upcoming "LOOKOUT!" blocks. Because they will be coming from the blind and foreside.

Day 5
I thought it was time to finish my ride report and post the last day of the ride. Took off from Rawlings early Thursday morning and planned to get as close to Georgetown as we could by the end of day as we were planning on heading out Friday and at least driving halfway home. It was another windy one as we headed south out of Rawlins and were doing the lean to the right. Still open range to the south for a ways until we get into the Medicine Bow National Forest.
The antelope were in abundance on this morning. At one point we saw about 30 in a herd not too far from the road. I love to watch these animals run. They are way smarter than deer. This is open range so there are no fences. They come a running up on us at a diagonal and we would speed up to cut them off and they would veer back on their side of the road and run right along side of us. Once the leader got across and we cut him off from the others that were following. They run more like a horse, very level no jumping or bounding like a deer. I am told they will not jump a fence. They prefer to go under the fence. I would like to see that.
Next stop Jack Creek Camp. I believe that is the camp in the background. Getting into the Medicine Bow National Forest. Beautiful country.
Bill and I leapfrogged each other most of the day which is what we did the last few days of the ride. He would be leading and stop to take a photo and I would pass on by then I would stop and so on.....
We came up on this tracked vehilce and a log across the road. We could hear the guy in the picker working back in the woods. So we sat there until he came back out dragging a cluster of logs. He drags the log that was in the road off and we pass on by.
10Cup had texted us about a road closure east of Aspen Alley on our route and suggested that we take Hwy 70 south when we hit it to avoid that road. I guess he had to reroute and rode thru some pretty rough stuff getting to Riverside where he spent the night. I took a few of these photos on the fly as you can see by the blurriness.
We stopped at Battle Mountain overlook on Hwy 70 and took a few photos. I guess there were a few battles with Indians and Trappers at this location.
About the time we are ready to head out a hired hand walks a horse and a couple of dogs down the highway. They came up the moutain from below.
Further down Hwy 70 we come along an area where the highway had just slid down the hill.
Down in the valley below.
I am not sure if they are cleaning up a rock slide or it is just a good place to get rock.
Once we tie back into our route from Hwy 70 we ride down Slater Creek on Co-1. There is a cattle rancher, the Hendricksons hunding lodge and a big house on the high plateau owned by a man named Porter. This valley that the creek runs down is really gorgeous.
This is a maintenance building that is a part of the Hendricksons Lodge. We stop to make a pit stop and we hear someone yell "HELP" real loud. Couldn't figure out where it came from or exactly what was yelled. He yelled again so Bill and I begin to walk toward the maintence building. I yelled "YO" and he yelled again and we asked him where he was and he kept yelling until we found where he was. He was on the roof of an little old schoolhouse that was sitting on a skid on the other side of the maintenance building They had brought it from Meeker to set down there on some concrete pilings. The ladder that he was using had fallen and he was stuck on the roof. Bill set the ladder up for him and down he comes. He was glad to see us and offered a cold drink at the lodge but we said we had to be going. What a hoot!
So we are off again having made our rescue for the day.
We come up on this whole herd of sheep some of which are just laying in the middle of the road. I had to ride right up to them to get them to move. We didn't spook them in the least.
We ride into Hayden about 1:30 or so and we realize that we can make Georgetown by 6 pm or so. We stop and have lunch in a park there and press on to Kremmeling. The Yampa River runs right by Hayden. Bill tried to tell me there was some drop dead gorgeous lady in a bikini down swimmin. Sounds like a Mikey story to me.
After we passed thru Hayden we were enroute to Kremmerling via part of the Routt National Forest, Oak Creek and Phippsburg.
The Last Chance Ranch.
Oak Creek
The Black Dog Inn in Phippsburg that was closed for the season. Black Dog absorbed all my light for the photo.
From there we pretty much slabbed it to Kremmerling. About 13 miles outside of Kremmerling on Hwy 137 coming down the North Fork Pass Bills rear wheel bearing decides to go out as he is making a sharp curve coming down a pretty steep grade on slab. I go back to see why he isn't joining me at the bottom of this descent and find out he can only travel about 10 MPH with a distinct wobble in his rear wheel. There is no cell service on this side of the mountain so we decide that I should go ahead and call our friends Keith and Sue and have them bring Bills truck and pick us up. Once I get to Hwy 40 I have cell service and call and Sue begins to search for Keith. I went on to Kremmerling to wait for them to call me back with a plan. I get a call from Keith about an hour later and says he is on his way. Kremmerling is only about 45 miles from Georgetown so I head back to where I last saw Bill and as I am heading out of town I see him off to the side of the road. He had limped into Kremmerling by that time so we wait for Keith to come pick us up. We got the bikes unpacked and when Keith arrived we loaded the bikes and headed back to Georgetown. When we gpt back we went to the Alpine Lodge next door to the Mountain Inn where we stayed the night and ate pizza.And believe me we ate the whole thing.
Man, I had the best time on this ride and I look forward to doing something similar to this next year. Thanks to Bill, The Toyman for hooking up and riding this route with me. I couldn't have asked for a better sidekick to ride the Trails West. Thanks to 10Cup for putting the route together and inviting me along. Too bad his schedule got messed up and we couldn't have ridden some of the route together. And thanks to my good friends Keith and Sue for being so gracious to take the time to show us around and make us feel welcome. Well that about sums it all up. I will hopefully see you all down the trail.

An extremely challenging mod which forces players to think outside of the box... in order to get out of the box. Each room is a unique puzzle, and is always full of surprises. Not for players who aren't up for an intense, claustrophobic experience.

As July brings an end to school, August brings the end of development.
It is with great pleasure I announce the official release date for Escape The Room - Friday the 13th
ERmod has become much more than initially intended. It is now truly the intense and claustrophobic experience I have advertised. It's been a good long time in development, I know you will all be pleased with the results.
Some highlights to look forward to:
-A plot!
-Voice acting!
-Many more challenges!
Attached is a screen shot of the opening scene.
Thank you all for playing!

The official download for ER: An extremely challenging mod which forces players to think outside of the box-- in order to get out of the box. Each room...
sorry, had to. :P
More 3 days :D
i cant wait
Great news. Loved the demo, can't wait to taste the whole thing... ;)
HELL YEAH! An update!!! The mod isnt dead! YYYYYYYAAAAAAAYYYYY :DDDDDDDD
Call EVERYBODY! Picture Update!!!
It Is A-L-I-V-E :D
(Freaking out from happiness :D)
This is one of the best mod i ever played, really great done
Can't wait to you release the real game mod ;)
I just played through it, this was very impressive.
I absolutely loved this game play style. It actually makes you think about how you have to do something such as use the knife to cut the rope and some of the other puzzles in the maps. I just was hoping I could have more when it was over, which is a good thing since I'll probably be back to try this out
One thing I didn't like was that I saw a trash can, and like any Escape The Room type games, there is usually one thing in there. I did notice the trash and said to myself "there has to be something in there" and proceeded to dig threw it like a mad garbage jumper but nothing within any of the trash cans. Maybe you could put a key or Easter Egg in one or something to add to the game.
And on another note, I saw these random spray paint images on the walls that said up. Did that have any purpose, or was it just for look?
Thanks for making to mod, thanks for releasing this demo, and thanks for reading.
Both up spraypaints gave hints as to what you were supposed to do: the first one showed you there was a hole in the ceiling, while the second one helped point out the tiny hook on the wall vent.
what does the hole do anyway?

Further Fettling
Previous Blog entry
Next Blog entry
The Easter weekend was not complete without some Obree-esque fettling of the tag-along. Family and friends have become fiercely protective of their washing machines, inspecting them upon my departure to ensure I've not amputated the main bearing for an improved Q factor! I have mounted some Smica micro ends inboard of the grips to give Joshua alternative hand positioning and more crucially, shelter from the wind that leaves him rather chill after a few miles. Removing the majority of the chain guard has improved chain alignment and addresses the problem of the plastic binding against the spokes.
I've worked out, factoring a pannier festooned with Kryptonite New York chain, Squire U lock, patch kit, spare tubes, pump, multi-tool etc into the equation that I am hauling an additional eight stone with Joshua and the tag-along-great for resistance training-especially with the dynohub but demanding lower gears on the climbs. That said, he and I have an understanding when daddy starts grrrrning, Joshie gets a churning-namely taking up the slack. High time I got him sorted with and competent aboard a solo too methinks…

|The Inland Sea

|Late 1990s-2000 (Unpublished)
The Inland Sea was a supplement intended to be published for Middle-earth Role Playing. Mike Campbell and Luke Potter were commissioned during the 1990s to write the supplement. But as the editor Iron Crown Enterprises lost the exploitation licence of Middle-earth Role Playing in September 1999, Campbell and Potter stopped working on the Inland Sea project around 1999/2000.
The manuscripts of MERP the Inland Sea (including several maps) were in the end published free of charge by Chris Seeman (from the fanzine Other Hands). They can be reached through the Yahoo Fan modules ftp site on Internet. The present state of these manuscripts is that of a playable supplement.

26 year old woman | Fort Collins, CO, USA | Seeking men 26-35 within 75 miles
Let's see how this goes
I love life and all that it comes with. We wouldn't know the highest highs if we never experience the lows. Laughter cleanses the soul and keeps us young! I work in an industry that makes it difficult to meet men (I do makeup) and it's not ideal to meet somebody out in the night scene... At this moment I'm looking to go on some dates, meet new people, and in doing so find what I'm looking for. I don't have a type, but if I were to meet somebody I wanted a relationship it would be with somebody who is goal oriented, driven, goofy, and loves life as much as I do. For fun: I love makeup effects whether it's making somebody feel beautiful or all out zombie stuff! (Let me point out that this doesn't mean I slather it on myself 24/7! I'm perfectly comfortable bare faced and in my own skin) I'm also big into travel and have a pretty big bucket list as far as that goes! The ocean is where my heart is. I love snorkling, boogie boarding, exploring, and ziplining.I like beer and enjoy all of the breweries, trying new restaurants, wine tasting, and anything involving live music. I like to learn about nutrition and continuously bettering ones health! Along with that, I enjoy cooking and exploring a lot of flavors. My mom and I have horses and that is something I grew up with. I also enjoy continuous learning and have the goal to finish my Biology degree. Hopefully this is enough to spark interest and we can go from there! As a side note, I'm not looking for somebody just trying to hook up. I do not find it appropriate to ask me very personal, intimate questions, or exchange explicit pictures with somebody I'm not dating..... creepers need not inquire!

Alan's War
by Emmanuel Guibert
No current Talk conversations about this book.
This is the story of one man's war. It is not the story of WWII, but the story of one man (Alan Cope) and his personal day to day life as he lived through those years in France. Alan didn't fight in any famous battles or according to himself, show any acts of bravery. His war could be called mundane, but no one can go through fighting and surviving a world war without having tales to tell and these are Alan's tales in his own words illustrated by Emmanuel Guibert. The book was good and I enjoyed my time with it. There are a few things that made it not a five-star read for me. It drags a bit, being overly long. Guibert doesn't do as much of his photograph/illustration mixture artwork for a good portion of the book, which I can understand because of the lack of photos taken during the actual combat years, but still I felt their absence. Finally, I simply didn't like Alan. I had a small inking after reading the story of his childhood that as an adult he might rub me the wrong way, and this book certainly confirmed that. I didn't like his worldview, outlook, or opinions. So that does take away from the enjoyment of reading the minutia of his life. But all told I did like this quiet, personal look at one man's war.
I love WWII stories. The pacing of the book ( story telling) was off for me. Liked the art and a few great moments.
Beautiful drawings and great snippets of life and history. You shouldn't expect a tight overarching story-arc, though it does take you through some very significant parts of Alan Copes' life from his beginnings as a soldier through to getting old and seeing his friends also get old.
The episodic nature of the story-telling meant it was easy to put down at points and I can imagine not necessarily getting round to picking it up immediately, but the fantastic drawings and anecdotal materials means you could dip into it any time.
I confess to not finishing this. I'm afraid that Alan's war was too personal, too microcosmic to hold my interest for long enough to hook me. I wanted to like it more than I did.
"When I was eighteen, Uncle Sam told me he'd like me to put on a uniform and go off to fight a guy by the name of Adolf. So I did."
A chance encounter between comic creator and an elderly American gent not only cemented a lifelong friendship but produces this wonderful memoir of a young American GI who joined up during the last years of WWII. Cope is a wonderfully story teller and Guibert skilfully joins a series of vignettes into a flowing narrative, letting Copes voice shine through.
It's a very personal account, Cope saw very little action but it's nevertheless as fascinating as it is moving. A coming of age tale just as much a tale of WWII. We follow his friendships, the banalities of war mixed with its sharp, sudden dangers, his blossoming love of Europe, his struggle to make a place in the world.
The art is deceptively simple and very beautiful; an image hanging in white space, concentrating the mind and allowing the imagination to fill in. I can imagine its very much what someone see as they listen to the story.
Highly recommended to everyone, even non comics fans will find something to like here.
It's a picaresque memoir of a Californian soldier who was shipped to Europe during the last days of WWII, just in time to see the comic, banal, and wrenching scenes associated with the wind-down of hostilities.

Pre-Mixed Drinks - 2014
Pre-Mixed Drinks Challenge
Nose: The faint hint of aniseed develops into something almost liquorice-like, with notes of grated nutmeg and Crème caramel.
Palate: A tangy, intense mix of star anise, allspice and vanilla. Toasted oak, coffee beans and hints of red currants appear, alongside peppermint. Oily and rounded.
Finish: Buttery, long finish with aniseed drops and spice.
Overall: Rather enveloping, punchy stuff with beautiful notes of spice and aniseed.

This is an interesting take on one of my favorite cocktails, but as it stands, it's way too sweet. If the sweetness was cut down significantly, this would be extremely enjoyable. But right now, I don't think I'm going to be able to finish the bottle without making some changes.

Secunia shows the check yet again to the previous version of Goggle Chrome 9 and not the actuality 10.
When searching the computer no older version of chrome remained.
It already bothers to see always the warning without doing something about this

STIFF 2013 Super Secret Film Screening & Lapse Short Film
Seattle Transmedia & Independent Film Festival
Wednesday, May 8, 2013 from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT)
Super Secret Feature Film
(that's all about exposing a super secret!)
This is your chance to get a sneak peak of a local independent film about to start its festival run. While we've been sworn to secrecy regarding the name of the film, we can tell you the film is allegedly inspired by true events following 9/11, and tells the story of one man's mission to expose an alleged illegal government operation to spy upon independent filmmakers - one public access show at a time.
The filmmakers need to preserve their 'Premiere Status', but are eager to share the movie with their hometown audience. The film is structured as an anthology, and incorporates five award-winning short films that range from fantasy to horror to science fiction and to comedy. And in the end, it all makes sense – in a kind of Wayne's World meets The Twilight Zone, updated for the internet generation, way.
The Producers, Writers, Director and Cast will be in attendance, will participate in a Q&A session after the screening, and most likely, spill a lot of secrets that they are not supposed to.
Directed by Gilles GUERRAZ
Runtime 23 minutes

We are trying to refinance our house to get rid of our PMI and get a lower interest rate. We are facing the classic dilemma of whether to get a 30 year or 15 year mortgage. We can afford either one. The difference in the monthly payment is about 400$. The 15 year interest rate is about .75% lower than the 30 year.
I can find a lot of calculators that tell me how much I would save in straight dollar figures if I paid them off at different rates, etc., but money is so much more complicated than that. Really, there is the time value of money and the opportunity cost and the tax deduction and the possiblity of a hedge against future inflation to consider as well. I'd really like a calculator that let me compare savings on a mortgage with possible investment returns and / or issues with inflation in the future. Does anyone know if there are any calculators that will help me do this?
If not, what would you smart people recommend? Assuming we can max out our tax preferred retirement accounts with either mortgage, still have a FFEF, and enough money for our needs, which one should we do? The savings of the 15 year is tempting, as is having it paid off in a reasonable time frame, but the opportunity cost of that 400$ a month might be too high.
Oh, and we likely would be the type to invest the difference, so that's not a major concern. What do you think?
