CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa - The Girls Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois will vote next month on whether to close all four Girl Scout camps in the region. The board of directors received a recommendation to do so from a volunteer property committee who has spent several years doing research, collecting data, and input from volunteers, Girl Scouts, and others.
Allison Johnson, the Vice President of Performance Excellence and Regional Director for the Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois, said it was a set of 3 recommendations. "The first part is that we would sell all four of our camp properties. The second part is that we would do a feasibility study to look at what the needs of the girls are and how they prefer to have an outdoor experience. The third part is that our council will look to partner with other organizations that have facilities that perhaps we could utilize in the interim," she said.
The Girl Scouts of Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois has seen an increase in membership for the past six years but a decline in the usage of camps. "When you look at 10 percent of your total membership actually utilizing camp facilities, you have to look at how you are allocating dollars towards those. You also have to look at what that costs the council, as well as if this is really a benefit to the total Girl Scout membership," said Johnson. She said by Girl Scouts not attending camp, it sends the message that it's not something they really want to be a part of.
The committee also determined that major infrastructure changes are needed. "They realized that for today's girls, none of the properties meet their expectations or their needs completely. The infrastructure and amenities are just not there to help the girls become comfortable in an outdoor experience," Johnson said.
But for current Girl Scout Lyndsay Gienapp, of Anamosa, camp was an adventure she will never forget. "It was just really fun because we got to go zip lining and we got to go swimming and the counselors were really fun too," she said. Last summer was Gienapp's first time attending Girl Scout camp. She's being selling cookies to go back again this coming summer. "I just like making new friends and just being there. You get all new experiences," she added.
Gienapp's mother, Cristin, was also a Girl Scout growing up and attended the same camp as Gienapp did last summer. "It's sad. I understand times are changing and it does cost a lot of money to keep the camps running, so hopefully just going out and selling more Girl Scout Cookies will help," Cristine said.
Johnson said that if the vote does pass, they will look to partner with other organizations so that the Girl Scouts are still getting an outdoor experience. "That is always going to be the core of our Girl Scout program," she said.
Johnson said Girl Scout camp will proceed as planned this summer. The vote is scheduled for March 28th, which allows people time to provide input before the board of directors votes.

Kentwan Balmer ready to move on

SEATTLE -- It only took Kentwan Balmer a meeting with Mike Singletary, a few days of unexcused absences from the San Francisco 49ers and then a trade to get a new NFL life in Seattle.
The 23-year-old is not sharing the reason for his rift with the team that drafted him in the first round just two years ago.
"You're very persistent, man," Balmer said when pressed for an explanation by The Associated Press on Tuesday, after he passed a physical with the Seahawks and practiced at defensive ...

BEIJING - AUGUST 23: Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine celebrates victory against Khedafi Djelkhir of France in the Men's Feather (57kg) Final Bout held at Workers' Indoor Arena on Day 15 of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games on August 23, 2008 in Beijing, China. (Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images)
Vasyl Lomachenko is meeting with several top boxing promoters while the two-time Olympic gold medalist considers launching a professional career, his adviser tells The Associated Press. Egis Klimas says Lomachenko is meeting with promotional companies Top Rank, Golden Boy and Main Events. The Ukrainian lightweight star likely will decide whether to turn pro in North America within the next week, Klimas says. Lomachenko is among the greatest amateur boxers of his generation after winning gold medals in Beijing and London, also claiming two world championships in between. Lomachenko fought in AIBA's World Series of Boxing last season. Oleksandr Usyk, who won the heavyweight Olympic gold for Ukraine last year, is traveling with Lomachenko and contemplating his own pro career as a cruiserweight.

The technology is hardly bleeding edge. Unmanned aircraft were used for warfare all the way back during the Vietnam War. Yet suddenly, everyone seems to be talking about, thinking about, planning for use of, or worrying about privacy invasions from the aviation industry calls unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs—or drones, to everyone else.
Why now? Drones are an important part of the Internet of Things, and thus the Internet of Everything. They can be summoned to carry objects from one location to another, providing the instant fulfillment online shoppers want, as well as near-instant access to medical or mechanical supplies in situations where getting those items quickly can save lives. Equipped with wi-fi, they can provide broadband connectivity on demand to places where it would otherwise be unavailable. Equipped with video cameras, they can show us what's going on in locations where we might otherwise have to guess. Equipped with RFID antennas or sensors, they can help us track objects or people, or alert us to changing environmental conditions.
Someday they could form an "Internet of Airborne Things," as some envision it. And recently drones have become affordable. 3D Robotics, the company co-founded by Chris Anderson, former editor ofWired, says it ships about 50 drones a day, most costing less than $1,000.
The biggest obstacle to drone adoption so far is neither technological nor economic, but legislative. The FAA has long banned drones, other than for personal use, from U.S. airspace, ban that's complicated by the fact that commercial drones personal drones are often the exact same devices--which means the FAA must figure out why a drone is in the air to know if it's legal or not.
The FAA recently grounded many drones, some before they were even invented, by declaring that drones gathering news information are commercial and thus illegal for now, and so are the delivery drones Amazon plans to develop.
That's likely to change, however. The FAA Modernization and Reform Act, passed in 2012, gave the FAA until September 2015 to create a framework for licensing commercial drones. With that deadline on the horizon, this summer the FAA issued its first commercial drone license to BP.
Now that BP has broken the ice others are sure to follow, and some estimate there will be 30,000 civilian drones criss-crossing our airspace by decade's end. It's more than time for smart technology leaders to start thinking about how drones might or might not fit in with your plans. Consider:
Could your organization benefit from using drones?
Why would it want to? Right now, the answer is most likely yes if it needs to oversee conditions in remote locations that are tough to monitor. That's the purpose of BP's drone license: The oil company will use drones with sensors and cameras to monitor its pipelines, roads, and equipment at Prudhoe Bay.
And drones can provide powerful security support as well. In many countries where commercial drones are legal, governments and wildlife groups are using them to watch over endangered speciesand reduce poaching. It's easy to see how many organizations could monitor their facilities for intrusion or theft more effectively with airborne drones than with human or canine security guards. Likewise, drones have been used to facilitate more than 1,400 search and rescue missions, and helped find more than 300 living people, although the FAA frowns on this use as well.
Drones are also a great way to get a look at a location or facility—and let customers and other constituents get a view of it as well. This is why drones are appealing to news organizations (which currently use larger and more expensive helicopters for this task) and filmmakers, who sometimes use unlicensed drones to get those great aerial shots.
And just because the FAA says delivery drones are illegal for now, don't count them out forever. The FAA document seems designed not to ban delivery drones exactly, but to "clarify" what common sense already dictates: That such use does not qualify as "Hobby or Recreation." Amazon, like BP, will need a license to fly its drones, but there was never any reason to think otherwise.
Another more surprising use for drones is to enable the Internet itself. DARPA is already providingsuch hotspots to the military, and Facebook and Google have each announced plans to do the same for people not currently reached by broadband. For companies that need to provide wireless Internet access in locations that don't have it, drones might be a very viable option, since even some very inexpensive models can provide a wireless signal.
If drones can provide some real benefits, the new technology may also come with some challenges. Among them:
How will they integrate with your network?
To truly take advantage of drone technology and make it part of your IoT deployment, the devices will need to integrate with existing networks and systems. That leads to the question of what operating system the drones might use, very much up for grabs at the moment.
Then there's the data. Drones, like other Internet of Things devices, are likely to deliver an enormous amount of data, perhaps including video that they have collected. They can provide detailed records of people and vehicle movements in remote locations where you would otherwise have limited visibility. They can survey large inventories at a manufacturing location, providing information on what supplies are running low. In Africa, drones are combined with RFID antennas to identify protected animalsfrom the air. Drones combined with RFID tagging could also be a powerful combination in many other settings, from locating vehicles on work sites to tracking precious assets to finding, monitoring, and providing for support employees in outdoor settings. Have a careful plan for what data to collect, and how that data will be processed and stored, before launching that first drone.
Can drones pose security risks?
The thought of a hacker taking over a drone is scary, and it's not far-fetched. Last year, a white-hat hacker created a drone that can find and hijack other drones. This year, DARPA unveiled what it claims is a hack-proof drone. Is it truly impervious? Stay tuned.
Who will operate, program, and maintain the drones?
The commercial drone industry will create tens of thousands of jobs and some colleges aren't waiting for the FAA to get its act together; they're already offering drone operation courses.
That's smart: If the industry abruptly takes off—which looks likely once the FAA gives more commercial drones permission to fly—there will be a lot of demand for technicians with the right skills. After web developers and data analysts, will drone operators be the next impossible-to-hire specialists?
It looks like they probably will. So if you're considering commercial drones, keep in mind you may want to plan for training drone operators too.

"Lift Every Voice: Celebrating the African American Spirit"
The Ernestine M. Raclin School of the Arts will recognize and celebrate Black History Month with musical and theatrical performances in the fifth annual concert, "Lift Every Voice: Celebrating the African American Spirit."
The concert will feature four guest artists and a special presentation based on the book Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom.
The concert will open with performances by nationally acclaimed guest artists Fred Dade, piano; Timothy Holley, cello; David Hughey, baritone; and Deb Nansteel, mezzo-soprano. The guests will present works in both the Western classical and African American music traditions.
The second part of the concert will feature a theatrical presentation of the book Moses: When Harriet Tubman Led Her People to Freedom by the African American author Carole Boston Weatherford. This presentation will feature music by the combined South Bend Symphonic Choir and the IU South Bend Gospel Choir, with dramatic interpretation by the IU South Bend Theatre and Dance Company.
The presentation is in memoriam of the 100th anniversary of the death of Harriet Tubman. Weatherford will visit campus in March for a formal presentation and a book-signing.
The event will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, February 2, in the Northside Hall Campus Auditorium.
"Lift Every Voice: Celebrating the African American Spirit" also includes a symposium on Friday, February 22, at noon in the Northside Recital Hall given by David Hughey. The symposium, entitled "From Classical to Broadway" will discuss the nuances that are required in singing and dance for both the operatic and the Broadway stage.
Hughey is a classically trained singer who recently appeared in the cast of the Tony Award winning production Porgy and Bess on Broadway. Hughey substituted for David Alan Grier for several performances in the role of "Crown" garnering his own rave reviews. As a classically trained singer, Hughes will discuss his transition from the world of Schubert lieder to the Broadway stage. The symposium is open to the public, admission is free, and no tickets are required.
Tickets for "Lift Every Voice: Celebrating the African American Spirit" are available for $3 and are free to students and children. For more information call the arts box office at 574-520-4203 or visit arts.iusb.edu.

Hairston Jr. to have season-ending surgery
AUG 23, 2012 11:30a ET
The Dodgers announced after Wednesday's game that Hairston will have surgery on his left hip sometime in the next two weeks.
Hairston has been on the disabled list since Aug. 13 with what the Dodgers initially called an inflamed hip. He did not respond to an anti-inflammatory injection last week.
Head trainer Sue Falsone said Tuesday that Hairston would likely be examined by a couple more hip specialists before the exact nature of his potential surgery was determined, but it would likely involve an arthroscopic procedure similar to what is more commonly performed on shoulders.
Hairston had been a valuable utility player this season for the Dodgers, having started at second, third and left field. He ends the season batting .273.
He said the hip had been bothering him to some degree for almost two months, and he had only five hits in his last 38 at-bats.
Hairston, 36, is under contract to the Dodgers next season at $3.75 million. Falsone said if Hairston has an arthroscopic procedure, he should be able to resume baseball activities by the start of next spring training.

O2, Orange and Vodafone landscape now clear
Vodafone has become the latest mobile network to outline its iPhone 4 pricing ahead of next week's UK launch.
The cheapest deal is as low as £25 per month for a 24-month deal but for that you only get 75 minutes, 250 texts and 1GB of data. The phone will also set you back £189 for the 16GB model or £280 for the 32GB model. The same contract on an 18-month deal is £30.

The best deal seems to be the £35 (£40 for 18 months), which offers 600 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited data. For that deal you'll pay £89 or £179 for 32GB handset
Free 16GB phones are available on £45 a month contracts, and £60 a month contracts for the 32GB model. For full details of the deals available, check out the Vodafone shop where you can place an order now for black and white editions.
Meanwhile 3 Mobile has revealed it'll be the last network to unveil its plans, so we wait with baited breath to see if the UK's underdog network can top the big guns to offer the cheapest iPhone 4 deal yet.

- Has to be accessible through the Internet, not just internal corporate networks (i.e. must have a front end interface)
- App Store server has to be hosted internally (i.e. no third-party hosting services)
- Preferably securable by username/password
- Preferably able to automatically push updates to authorized devices
The reasoning behind this is that we want to do a limited beta of our app to about 1,000 users, and we need a way to distribute updates to those users' devices without making our beta software accessible to the general public.
We initially explored simply hosting the APKs on an Apache web server, but since we wanted to limit access, we tried putting a username/password on the web server. Well, it turns out that the Android download manager has a bug that prevents downloading files to the phone if it's protected by htaccess.
Next we thought of using an FTP server and then just installing an FTP client on each beta tester's device, but that's pretty janky. This is now our final option.
An "internal" app store server seems to be the best bet. Is there a solution out there for this? Preferably a free/open source one, if that's possible.

Mike Wallace (and his speed) is gone; Troy Polamalu (and his decade-plus of NFL wear & tear) is still around. Ben Roethlisberger is spending more time scrambling for survival than looking downfield for open targets. On Thursday, the team's veterans and captains apparently found the cause of all their ills. Ping-Pong, of course. According to several reports, during a meeting among the veterans, a rule was passed that players with less than four years of NFL experience were banned from playing table tennis or pool in the locker room. While this looks like a silly rule akin to mild hazing, some of these tweets by Jory Rand of KDKA-TV in Pittsburgh, the veterans are claiming to have the young guys' best interest -- on and off the field -- in mind. 1 change to come out of Steelers veterans meeting yesterday is younger players arent allowed to play pool or pin...

Israel launched an air strike on the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, the first such attack since an eight-day war in November, Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the territory, and Israel's military said.
"Planes bombarded an open area in northern Gaza, there were no wounded," a statement from the Hamas Interior Ministry said. An Israeli military spokeswoman confirmed there had been a strike in Gaza, but gave no further details.
Israel and Hamas agreed to an Egyptian-mediated truce in November, after eight days of fighting, in which 170 Palestinians and six Israelis were killed.
Israel launched the 2012 offensive with the declared aim of ending rocket fire from the West Bank into its territory.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli military said Palestinians launched three rockets at Israel. Two landed in Gaza and one hit an open area in southern Israel, causing no damage or injuries.
No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for the rockets.

Some of the best professors use humor in the classroom.
That was the consensus at ECE's 2015 pre-commencement ceremony, which not only celebrated the achievements of graduating students, but also honored those who helped them along the way.
Seniors recognized four University of Arizona ECE faculty and staff members with the department's 2015 Student Interface Awards.
Regents' Professor Michael Marcellin -- who students say uses jokes to keep them interested and ease the pressure -- was voted most supportive senior faculty member.
"He is well prepared and organized, very approachable, treats every student with respect, and is dedicated to helping students understand the concepts," said junior Murey "Alex" Luna Torres, who presented the awards on May 15.
Marcellin earned a PhD in electrical engineering from Texas A&M University in 1987 and joined ECE in 1988. His teaching and research interests include signal processing and... Read Complete Article

Sept. 1 Bowling Green 32 … at Idaho 15
CFN Analysis: Bowling Green showed off … a running game? By far, the Falcons had the worst ground game in America last season, but they actually got it going a little bit on the ground with 187 yards with Anthony Samuel doing a terrific job with 141 yards, including a 52-yard dash to match the same amount of rushing yards that Idaho came up with. The passing attack was supposed to be able to blow up against the Vandals, and everyone else on the slate, and while Matt Schilz threw for 291 yards, the shocker was that Eugene Cooper came up with the big day receiving, with four catches for 110 yards and two scores, while Kamar Jorden caught four passes for 23 yards. With Morgan State and Wyoming up next, the Falcons should be able to better their two-win total of last year before starting off the MAC season at Miami.
The Idaho offense was a nightmare at home. This was a game the Vandals had to have to get off to a decent start, and while North Dakota is a winnable game, it'll be tough sledding for a while if the O continues to be so awful. Bowling Green doesn't have a killer D, but QB Brian Reader couldn't figure it out completing 19-of-43 passes for 177 yards and two scores. There wasn't any running game, and the receivers didn't step up to help the cause
with way too many dropped passes. The one positive was safety Gary Walker, who came up with 13 tackles and was all over the field. Now the defensive front seven has to start doing more.
(AP) MOSCOW, Idaho -- Matt Schilz and Eugene Cooper connected for two touchdown passes in the first quarter and Bowling Green rolled to a 32-15 victory over Idaho Thursday night in the teams' season opener.
Schilz found Cooper for scoring passes of 76 and 24 yards to lift the Falcons to a 14-7 lead. The Vandals had scored first on Brian Reader's 5-yard TD pass to Mike LaGrone.
Anthony Samuel ran for 141 yards and a touchdown for Bowling Green. The Falcons led 30-7 at halftime and ran the clock for most of the rest of the way, owning better than a 2-1 edge in time of possession for the game. Idaho managed just 52 rushing yards.
The schools last met in the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl in Boise, which Idaho won 43-42.

Get Tickets For This Game
Here's The Deal … These two played one of the best bowl games in the last several years with Idaho winning the 2009 Humanitarian Bowl in a 43-42 thriller. Can the two possibly recreate the magic? If nothing else, this is a huge game for both teams with the winner needing a win to possibly be on the way to a bowl game.
The Vandals get a possible layup ahead against North Dakota, and there are several winnable WAC games ahead, but they could use the home win with just five more dates left in the dome. The Falcons, who are coming off a rough 2-10 season, get home games against Morgan State and Wyoming next before going on the road for three weeks. A win on the road would show that this is a new year with the team rebounded, and it would be a nice moment for the MAC, who isn't used to winning non-conference games in September.
If nothing else, the passes should be flying around with the Falcon air show about to get back to 2009 levels while Idaho, who finished 10th in the nation in passing, should keep on bombing. It'll be a shock if this isn't a fun shootout.
Why Bowling Green Might Win: Can the Idaho running game do
much of anything? After finishing 118th in the
nation on the ground, the Vandals have enough talent
in the backfield to start doing more, but it'll be
tough against a Falcon defensive front that might
have issues up front, but has a fantastic
linebacking corps. While the Idaho passing game
should be excellent and it was more productive than
Bowling Green's last year, but the Falcons have the
better receivers and might be better equipped to
come up in the clutch in a shootout. Idaho isn't
going to run the ball, and the Falcons have a
veteran, athletic secondary that should be able to
do far more than it did last year.
Why Idaho Might Win: Can the Bowling Green running game do much of anything? Idaho's run defense was a disaster last year, and the Falcons aren't going to be able to take advantage with a ground game that doesn't appear to be much better after finishing dead last in the nation. To win, the Falcons have to throw the ball and they have to outbomb the Vandals, but that could be a problem with the Idaho secondary one of the team's most experienced areas. Once the pass rush started to improve last year, so did the pass defense, and while the Bowling Green offensive line is full of veterans, it's not exactly a rock in pass protection. The Falcons were 107th in the nation in sacks allowed, and while things should be better, the line isn't going to be appreciably stronger.
What To Watch Out For: The last thing these two teams need is
to be without defensive stars, and they could both
be missing their top linebackers. Idaho's Robert
Siavii, the team's leading tackler last year is out
for the season with a knee injury, while Bowling
Green's Dwayne Woods, one of the MAC's best players,
has been out throughout the offseason with an
injury. Without these two players in the mix, will
the two teams try to run the ball more? It won't
matter as this game should be all about the
quarterbacks, with Bowling Green's Matt Schilz
looking to use this game to show improvement from
last year, while Idaho's Brian Reader finally has
the starting job to himself after spending years
sitting behind Nathan Enderle.
What Will Happen: The two teams will combine for more than 600
passing yards, and while there will be some attempts
to run the ball, this will quickly become all about
who can make things happen through the air. Idaho
should be a bit more effective at home and will get
bit more production from the defensive front, but
Schilz and receiver Kamar Jorden will hook up at
least ten times.

The parents of Reeva Steenkamp, who was shot and killed by Oscar Pistorius, have reacted with disbelief at a judge's decision to acquit the star athlete of murder charges.
Pistorius was found guilty of culpable homicide – South Africa's equivalent to manslaughter – and has been granted an extension of his current bail conditions.
June Steenkamp, Reeva's mother, said her 29-year-old daughter had died a "horrible, painful, terrible death".
"I just don't feel that this is the right [verdict]," she said in her first reaction to the judgment.
"I can't believe that they believe that it was an accident."

South African athlete Oscar Pistorius has been found guilty of the manslaughter of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp last year and has been granted an extension of his current bail conditions.
Judge Thokozile Masipa handed down the verdict at the end of a two-day judgment of the trial which began in March.
She had already cleared Pistorius of premeditated murder, saying prosecutors had failed to prove the Olympian explicitly intended to kill Steenkamp.
The court will return for sentencing on October 13.

*** 1/2 ELTON JOHN, "Made in England" Rocket In their landmark albums in the '70s, Elton John and lyricist Bernie Taupin came as close to the level of any pop-rock writing team since Lennon-McCartney in giving us music rich enough in character and detail to be both hauntingly personal and seductively universal.
John and Taupin have often reflected that enchanting blend on individual songs in the '80s and '90s, but they have done it more consistently in this classy work than on any album since 1976's "Blue Moves."
In a work whose passion and purpose may well have been inspired by John and Taupin's parallel commitment to AIDS projects, the highlight is "House," an expression of loss and need that ranks with such classic works as "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me" and "Tonight."
The album's frisky title tune is so overtly autobiographical that it can be seen as a continuation of the duo's "Captain Fantastic . . ." saga, while "Blessed"--the most engaging song in memory about approaching parenthood--offers the sweet innocence of a "Your Song."

Thread: MY NEW ANIMATION-Please Watch!
May 22nd, 2009 #1
MY NEW ANIMATION-Please Watch!
This is an animation inspired by a short story called "Snake Eyes". At a party an ex-officer meets guests at a rehabilitation center somewhere between earth and space. He is being reconditioned to lessen the effects of the aggression drugs he had been given during service. But reconditioned for what and by whom! This animation was completed April12-May21 2009, and fuses "Groovy Distortion" music from LFO's debut Frequencies back in '92: I made all of the visuals you see including the backgrounds in a little over a month. I really, really, really hope you like this one.

I appreciate the kind words. Worked pretty hard on this one so I'm hoping for some good feedback!

this is fucking badass. 4:18 totally sold me on it.
There are so many motion glitches early on though. Please for the love of god fix them.
They drive me completely crazy, because I can tell that the characters aren't moving the way you intended them to and it pulls me out of what is an otherwise exhilarating piece.
May 27th, 2009 #6
I woke up and watched it again first thing today. Again, four minutes well spent. Tasty.
when your characters are floating, the cop and the prostirobot: they should be moving in arcs not straight lines. Also near the beginning there are a few shots where their motion completely changes direction between cuts. Which is super weird looking.
May 29th, 2009 #7
Thanks for your vigilance and your critique of my work batcustard. I've fixed problems at 4:18 so that a little better. Before I submit this there will be different music as well I hope.
This is for Playboy's animation contest. I want to enter the Aniboom thing but I'm finding it difficult to get into the holiday spirit in June. Plus I don't have any voices or sound again. huuhf.
Any motion jumps should indicate the passage of time in some form or another. If all goes well there will be more "Cybertales". In fact I'm planning another at the moment.
Again, your comments really help. Don't think I've ever had anyone describe my work as "f*cking bad*ss!" Now that's the kind of review an animator lives for! Hope you keep watching...

Really weird, cool, and very trippy. But, most of the time, the characters movements were to smooth, and to even. Made the animation feel a little mechanical and unnatural. You need to some gap timing, stretch and squash. (Three things my instructors always empathize while animating), to make the characters have more life and personalty in them. I don't quite understand the story, but over all a cool piece.
Critiques on my work always welcome!!
June 5th, 2009 #9
Thanks Vayne, my partner of Audio 8 records has added a new musical score to the thing to replace the unlicensed music. It feels better that way even though I like the techno sound. Watch it again for the new sounds...
Yes the movement are very smooth but I think it is something different that people will appreciate at least in this short. I think you will find that with tradigital CG, ordinary animation principal do not always apply.

I want to cuddle you so hard...
My best qualities are my sense of humor, positive demeanor, and drive. I have a very good sense of self and am the kind of person who can make friends with almost anyone and as such, have a very diverse group of friends. I love meeting people and hearing their stories. I have lived in the DC area for several years, after an extensive cross-country road trip and a year-long stint doing recovery work in the Gulf Coast with AmeriCorps. I am very happy with where I am in this point in my life, but always look to expand my worldview and learn new things. My heart is in a perpetual state of wanderlust. During the day I work at the intersection of communications and technology. I tend to favor all things artistic, pursuing a number of creative projects outside of my full time job. Right now I'm working on a documentary about my family tree. I lead a very busy life and rarely do I take what I have for granted despite my schedule. I make the most of the things that matter in my life. The number one thing that I look for in a person is passion. I want someone who can enjoy the simple things in life, but also has the energy and enthusiasm to pursue their passion, regardless of what it is. My perfect man appreciates all things artistic and thinks with his heart. He is content spending time at home with a movie or out on the town seeing the latest show or festival in town. I want to find someone at peace on the mountaintop but still yearns for the fast pace of the city. I am very open to interracial dating. I prefer to date free-thinkers who aren't afraid to speak their mind.

Gallery: How to Squash Your Monthly Energy Bill & Save Money With a Pro...
Did you know that the average American household spends more than $2,200 annually on energy bills, and close to half of that figure can be attributed to heating and cooling? If you're looking to chop that number down, there are a lot of things you can do, but one of the most effective is to install a programmable thermostat. You've probably heard about these useful gadgets before, but they can be a little intimidating for homeowners who have never used one. The truth is that they're probably much less complicated than your Tivo or DVR system, and once you have the hang of it, they can save you about $180* a year. Read on as we break down the basics of programmable thermostats into digestable bits.
* Based on ENERGY STAR averages. The $180 savings assumes a typical, single-family home with a 10 hour daytime setback of 8° F in winter and setup of 7° F in summer, and an 8 hour nighttime setback of 8° F in winter and a setup of 4° F in summer.
