Nice comments. Thank you for sharing them. My wife went through breast cancer last year -- surgery/chemo/radiation therapy, and she is doing OK now, but I know first-hand that it is not an easy thing. I myself have spent a lot of time in the hospital with heart issues and ultimately had heart valve surgery, and I spent a lot -- A LOT -- of time playing WoW during long stays in the hospital. People would think I was "on the phone" when they tried to call me, but I was actually usually my bedside phone line to play WoW on my laptop. :-)
I have high hopes for Neverwinter, too.
For me, the make-or-break issue will be my ability to play solo when and if I want. The original direction of this game (before PW got involved) was to make it a co-op game, allowing players to play with other players and/or with AI companions. I found the AI companions in NW2 to be quite humorous and entertaining pals along for the ride (yay, Bishop!), so I was really hoping they'd be retained in the Neverwinter now-turned-MMO.
I hear a lot about The Foundry and, yeah, it's great and all, but it's the option to adventure with AI companions AND/OR other players that is of fundamental importance to me. Since PW took over, I haven't heard anything more about this. Still keeping my fingers crossed, though.

First, I'd like to say I'm glad everything turned out well for you, Suzie. It's true, games, or other leisure activities, can really help take one's mind off painful reality, at least for a while.
I started playing paper and pencil D&D in 1980, as both a player and DM, and I've been hooked on tabletop and computer RPGs ever since. One of the great things about paper and pencil games was the ability to create gameworlds and adventures for your friends, while it also served as a social event. Now that I think back on it, gaming was often just a pretense for getting together with friends.
As I got older (oh, so much older), it's almost impossible to get together like that anymore, which is why I enjoy games like Neverwinter Nights or STO, and am excited about the upcoming Neverwinter. As an old GM at heart, I still like to create adventures and tell stories, and these are some of the few games that give players the power to do just that.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
This is the number one game on my radar for 2013. Looks like you associate with survival, and thanks to your personal story we can associate it with a survivor, thanks for the article, let's hope these shoes are filled with ease and the survival theme is something we talk about Neverwinter with in a good light as well.

I have great memories of the original NWN as well! Just like you, I played through the game and then got into PWs and weekly games through NWC.
I met two of my best friends during that time, people I've met IRL later and still game with these days. While I doubt the "Foundry" will be as good as NWN's toolset + DM client combination, I'm still looking forward to it.
When playing City of Heroes our roleplaying supergroup (AKA guild) made extensive use of the "Architect Entertainment" system, which let players create their own missions with scripted dialogues, custom (and standard) enemies and many other similar options.
Definitely looking forward to Neverwinter!

Neverwinter is on top of my waiting list as well, and I agree with Suzie, the Foundry could be it's make/break point. (my first Neverwinter-related post in August was also a Foundry praise :) )
While I'm not familiar with 4th edition since we stopped playing when 3rd ed D&D started, and the combat looks a bit too action-focused for my taste, I'll be more than happy if we receive a lore-fitting game backed up with folks from NWN who jumps into the Foundry... Based on STO's Foundry (and the infos Cryptic already released) Neverwinter has every chance to be a terrific game.

It's really tough to riase ones expectations pre-launch on any mmo. Neverwinter mmo could be great, but there is a lot that Cryptic can do to thumble this ball.

Ill pass. D&D has always been about problem solving in group format. The DM poses some type of problem and the players come up with a solution. The rule books were there only to guide the players imagination, never to enforce.
Once 3rd edition came out, that was basically the end of D&D as we once knew it. It ceased to be about the players and instead was about rolling the dice and looking at all the nice, shiny skills you collected.'
3rd edition was basically the WOW of PnP games. Easy to play, get in grab the loot and rinse and repeat. 4th edition was more of the same.
Neverwinter will be a lobby fest, instanced "MMO" where you really do not need to talk to anyone. Sound familiar? Sounds a lot like a stripped down version of Guild Wars 2, if you can actually strip down that game anymore.
The Foundry....yea. That is there way of saying "you deal with it". The thing about player created content is that the VAST majority of it is farming maps meant to get you your shiny new loot and skills as fast as possible without any risk. For every one great player mod, there will be 1000 horrible ones.
Plus no one will do any developer content, and they will just do player mods. That is what sunk City of Heroes. They put out their foundry and 95% of the rest of the game suddenly became empty.
The Forgotten Realms is a huge world, with literally thousands of volumes written about it. But if you played any Cryptic game (STO or CO) you know exactly what Neverwinter will be. It will have an excellent character creation system, a massive Cash Shop, and the rest of the game will go down hill from there.
Crypic butchered the Star Trek world and turnded it into an instanced, lobby grind fest where your federation Captain is basically a mass murdered. Once PWE got involved, it got even worse. Their idea of "content" is to stretch out the end game barter fests until you have run them hundreds of times. LOTRO in space.
Neverwinter will be another overhyped game that you play for three weeks then one night you will just stop logging in. Like LOTRO, or SWTOR, or GW2 or TSW or The Elder Scrolls online....etc.
But darn it, I'll buy the damed thing...lol.

Life is a game, just without a reset button
Im hoping never winter will at least be something I enjoy. I was so let down by DDO and how the game mechanics and loot system was just kinda blah...What was worse about it was the story telling element was garbage. I mean part of what I loved about Swtor was the story and its interactions I got the feeling of forging my own destiny.
What Im hoping for is not class or race restrictions that can only be unlocked by paying a small fee..That just ruins the feel and then people scream about op and needing nerfs....
Thanks for the nice Column :)
As someone who spend his most time in late Fall 2002 to the begining of 2006 in NWN and 40% of his "NWN"time scripting dialogues and encounters as well as designing maps with aurora - My biggest memories of "proper" MMO are with some persistent Servers of NWN. 60 to 128 dedicated players are more than i interact in a typical mmo today over months.
The CEP made all those custom worlds and rulesets even greater. And having the ability to not only change dialogues but freely create new spells and gameplay methods through wild combining of FX effects and 2da file mods and scripts made all those worlds to feel almost what all those "WoW Clones" try to archieve, still the same combat mechanics, but some have 1 shot weapons others don't need you to level, others gave out 1 XP with permadeath, In one world magic was strictly to the way D&D works, in others creators tried to mimic "mana bars", and in others there was no magic at all, only swords and armor.
The toolset combined with the central gamespy server browser, made NWN more like "STEAM" rather than just some minor world differences where npcs got shuffeled around and some buildings randomly placed.
There where servers which allowed all npcs voicesets, races at character creation. You always wanted to play the goblin farmer? There you go (no i didn't, never)
NWN's Aurora toolkit allowed you to make an almost whole new game even with new Textures and items (models and meshes) and sounds.
Having expirienced the foundry in STO and other Cryptic games, i would say even remotely comparing the extended NW Foundry to NWN Aurora is not only doing Cryptic's NW a huge disfavor but created almost expectations which can never be fulfilled.

My first memory of Neverwinter goes waaaaaay back before Biowares.
NeverWinter Nights Online, back in 1991. I remember because I held off on buying it when it first came out because I was still playing a couple of the D&D Gold Box games and wanted to finish them first...my friend however got it the day it came out and got his first phone bill a few days before I was going to buy it.
That bill? Well...that bill was over $400. Turns out in the fine print it said there was an HOURLY charge to connect to that special game line(this was long before the idea of subscriptions).
Needless to say, I didnt buy NWNO, not until a year later when they dropped the idea of charging people hourly rates.

Hey, congrats for overcoming the disease.
When i first played NWN after Baldur's Gate series (only the best games ever made) i was a bit disappointed but then i loved it. Loved the expansions too, especially Underdark. I still have fond memories of my characters and some amazing quests and adventures. Didn't like NWN2 as much but i have high hopes for this one. I'm very hopeful that it's gonna be awesome and Cryptic will do right this time around. If not, they are in for a huge crapstorm of rarely seen before scale and probably never be able to touch anything else.

I am currently playing Neverwinter Nights 2 fully for the first time since when the game came out I was heavily into WoW and ignoring anything else that came out. It is an EXCELLENT game and I am now tempted to play the first one too (The only thing stopping me is the awful graphics by today's standards).
Anyway, the reason I started revisiting these games is a mix between starting to play tabletop D&D, XCOM: Enemy Unknown's excellent turn-based tactical combat, and how tired I am of the new batch of "Action MMOs".
What bums me out the most about Neverwinter is that the combat seems to be very TERA-like. Back in WoW days I always complained that the combat wasn't actiony enough, now I regret that and I long for the days when MMOs had more "tactical" combat.
Anyway, great post man. I too will be playing Neverwinter as soon as I can but my expectations are so low they just went past James Cameron in the Mariana Trench. Action Combat MMOs are a lot of fun the first few levels, but then they just become very tiring and repetitive.
Also, Cryptic's track record is awful.

I actually still like MMORPGs
One thing that interests me about the foundry in this game. Is they are allowing NPCs and mobs to be tapped in the open world for player content. So it doesn't just have to be instances.

I've DMed, scripted, and run NWN PWs for the better part of the last decade. The most influential was the PW based off of my username here, Abyss 404 which made it to the NWN Vault Hall of Fame. http://nwvault.ign.com/View.php?view=gameworld.Detail&id=27
Is anyone here still playing NWN? I've been getting the itch recently and have been considering returning for some RP.

It is a double pleasure to gank the ganker.
I am another old school pen-and-paper gamer who played NWN and NWN 2 and enjoyed them quite a bit. I have to say that any excitement I would otherwise have is tempered by the fact that this is being made by Cryptic. I have followed their games at release with interest and the consistent outcome seems to be outraged players raging about cut corners and shallow gameplay. Their reputation as far as I have gleaned from the forums seems to be the worst in the business. I would be surprised if this game was the exception to their track record.

Pretty moved by that story Suzie. Lost my oldest freind to that heap of crap disease just over three years ago and she is always very much in my thoughts. Congratulations on beating it. I have seen first hand the damage and disruption it can do.
As for Neverwinter, like a lot of people here I hjave some reservations, but am looking forward very much to test driving it myself. D&D online never really cut it for me. Fingers crossed for something that does the I.P some justice. Anyway, enjoyed the article.

WATCH: Rep. Tammy Duckworth Dresses Down IRS Contractor
Originally published on Tue July 9, 2013 4:19 am
It is one of those rare Congressional exchanges that's both dramatic and compelling: Yesterday during a House Oversight Committee hearing, Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), who lost her legs and use of her right arm when she served in Iraq, dressed down an IRS contractor who used his military disability status to receive government contracts reserved for disabled vets.
The catch? The Military Times reports Braulio Castillo claimed disability based on an injury he sustained at the U.S. Military Preparatory School nearly 30 years ago. The Military Times reports that Castillo broke his foot at the prep school, but went on to play football in college.
Duckworth pounced. It's worth watching the whole thing, which California Republican Rep. Darrell Issa's office has posted on YouTube.

It is widely claimed that Adam and Eve were "impossible" in light of recent findings in molecular biology, especially regarding the Human Genome Project. Many succumb to the modernistic tendency to "adjust" Church teaching to fit the latest findings of science -- thus scandalizing Catholics into thinking that fundamental revealed truths are not well founded.
The fact remains that a literal Adam and Eve are part of unchanging Catholic doctrine. Central to St. Paul's teaching is the fact that through one man, Adam, sin entered the world, and through the God-man, Jesus Christ, redemption came (Rom 5:12-21). The Catechism cites St. Paul, and speaks of Adam and Eve as of a single mating pair who "committed a personal sin" (CCC, 399-404).
We must be careful not to confuse the technical concept of average effective population size estimates, which vary from as high as 14,000 (Blum 2011) to as low as 2,000 (Tenesa 2007) depending on the methods used, with an actual "bottleneck" ( a temporarily reduced population) which may be much smaller. We must also realize that these calculations depend on many assumptions about mutation rate, recombination rate, and other factors, that are now known to vary widely, and that all depend on retrospective calculations about events in the far distant past, for which we have almost no information.
A famed study by Ayala (1995) led many to believe that a bottleneck of two was impossible at any time in the human lineage after the Homo/Pan (human/chimp) split some five million years ago. However, Ayala's claim of thirty-two ancient HLA-DRB1 lineages (prior to the Homo/Pan split) was wrong because of methodological errors. The number of lineages was subsequently adjusted by Bergström (1998) to just seven at the time of the split, with most of the genetic diversity appearing in the last 250,000 years.
Since the Class II region where HLA-DRB1 resides recombines only rarely, the region behaves as a unit during reproduction. It is inherited as a block, referred to as a haplotype. It is now known that there are only five basic haplotypes (Andersson 1998), and their particular identity is specified by which HLA-DRB1 allele they carry. Depending on the accuracy of the dating and tree drawing, there may have been between three and five haplotypes at the time of the Homo/Pan split. We share four of them with chimps. Since a single mating pair could pass on a maximum of four haplotypes, the most recent studies appear potentially compatible with a literal Adam and Eve. [I am indebted to molecular biologist Dr. Ann Gauger for the above line of reasoning pertinent to the genetic arguments.]
The point of all this is to show that the science which is so dogmatically employed to undermine Catholic doctrine regarding Adam and Eve is itself not definitive. Catholic doctrine trumps in any event, but even more so when the science itself is far from settled.
What is most important for purposes of this thread is the realization that, since the same God is Author of both human reason and authentic revelation, legitimate science will never contradict Catholic doctrine -- and Catholic doctrine firmly teaches a literal Adam and Eve.
In my book, Origin of the Human Species (Sapientia Press, second edition, 2003), I offer extensive analysis of the interface between evolutionary theory, philosophy, and theology -- including a most detailed explanation of how the existence of a literal Adam and Eve remains rationally credible, even to well educated Christians at the beginning of the twenty-first century.

2011 was a good year to be a reader of science fiction and fantasy, although lately every year has been a good year: Not only are the books getting more popular — thank you, Game of Thrones — they're getting more interesting, evolving and morphing in weird, fascinating ways.
They're also interbreeding with other genres to produce wild new hybrid forms, like historical science fiction romances and hard-boiled fantasy detective novels. They're commenting on current events and swapping DNA with literary novels.

I am using
ArcGIS 10 (includes
spatial and
geostatistical analyst). I have a
raster (GRID) with a value range of -167 to 18. I would like to
query the raster and create a new one with only the values between -117 and -69. I cannot figure out how to use the
raster calculator to do this task. Any suggestions?
I am using
You can use the set null tool in the spatial analyst toolbox to assign any cell values outside your desired range to null values. The result will be a new raster layer with only the cell values you wish to preserve.
The expression you should use will be along the lines of:
and the false raster should be the same as your input raster, to keep values where the expression evaluates as false.

Friday, June 20, 2014
I drive a lot between here and Atlanta, sometimes twice in a month.
Its a 600-mile drive round trip and takes almost five hours each way. I take the five hours alone in the car and think.
I think about book ideas, I think about life, where Im at in it and where I want to be.
I use the five hours to flush the cerebral pipes so to speak.
During this most recent trip back from Atlanta I worried about my car, because that is what I am often prone to do. Im worried about getting stranded on the road between there and here, and this trip I was particularly worried about radiator leaks.
I pick a problem and obsess over it.
Im not content with the status quo of the dashboard temperature gauge so I stare at it while driving 70 mph and imagine that the needle is creeping up the gauge toward HOT.
While Im obsessing over the hotness of my car, Im also lamenting my lot in life. I spend my life trying to dodge the proverbial bullet.
While driving, and worrying about the state of my car, and about my lot in life or the lack thereof, I passed a disabled car alongside the road.
The car was a lot like mine.
A minivan, same make and model, just a different color.
On this van the right front tire was flat and the rear window had been knocked out.
A thought hit me, my first road epiphany of the morning: I dont have it so bad after all. Somebody out there is worse off than I am.
My car was at least running and I wasnt stranded alongside the road in Lula, Ga.
The best part about Lula, Ga., is the sign that says you are leaving Lula, Ga.
As I continued on my homeward journey over the camelback humps of the North Georgia foothills, I passed three churches.
The denomination of these churches are not relevant to my tale, just that each had one of those message signs posted in their front lawn near the roadway for passing motorists to read and reflect upon.
The first sign said simply, Be thankful.
I dont believe in coincidences and random chances when I saw, Be thankful, because I did have a lot to be thankful for this morning.
I counted my blessings and smiled at each one.
Uplifted I pressed onward.
As I passed the second church, the sign out front said, Be faithful.
If nothing else I remain faithful to my heart and I smiled at this, knowing if I remained faithful, everything would turn out just fine in the end.
The third church sign said simply, Fill your heart with love, and I thought, lately, my heart has been full of love.
This is when I began to realize something very special was happening during my drive home. If indeed there exists a higher power, it was definitely sending me a message this day and I would do well to listen.
As my drive continued, I passed a billboard on the Interstate that said, (it was a tequila sign), Be inspired, and I thought, I am inspired every day.
When I passed through Columbia I saw a sign for gym memberships that said, Every day offers a new second chance. Start building your future today.
Seeing all these my heart swelled with joyous emotion. I am truly a lucky man, I thought.
Like Jimmy Stewart at the end of Its a Wonderful Life.
Then there came the last sign... flashing neon red...
It said, Ladies shoot free on Wednesdays.
Yep... inside every silver lining floats a gray cloud...

A Mississippi man is under arrest, accused of sending letter laced with Ricin to the President and other elected officials, appeared in a federal court Monday.
41-year-old Everett Dutschke was arrested early Saturday morning.
Now, Everett is the center of an investigation into why and how these letters were sent. It's leaving his family with more questions than answers, including his father who lives in Iola.
"Of course, I'm shocked," said Lenny Dutchske, father of Everett Dutschke.
"If I were seeing this on TV, and it wasn't my son involved, the way they're making things appear, I'd probably be sitting there in front of the TV saying 'they ought to hang the guy."
Lenny continued, "As a parent, you know you're just, how do I put this, you're just totally emotionally taken back by the fact that there's even a possibility that he was involved."
The last time Lenny spoke with his son was a cryptic message over Facebook.
"For some reason, I got a message on Facebook on Friday [April] 19th it was that just said I love you too dad and it didn't reference anything," explained Lenny.
Since that time Lenny's house has been searched by the FBI.
"They took nothing. They didn't expect to find anything," said Lenny.
Everett, is under arrest for allegedly sending letters laced with Ricin to elected President Obama and other officials in Mississippi. U.S. Marshall's arrested Everett early Saturday morning. They raided his house and business.
"My family knows I didn't have anything to do with this. The people who actually know me know I didn't have anything to do with this," said Everett Dutschke, before his arrest.
Lenny and Everett's mother divorced years ago. She ended up in Mississippi where Everett is. Lenny, in Iola. It's from this small community that he's getting information piece by piece about what's happening to his son over 600 miles away.
In Iola, Lenny searches for some meaning behind what his son is accused of.
"He was affected pretty badly by the death of his [older] brother," shared Lenny.
It may have created a few anger issues with him. But his mother and I had to go through the same thing. We had to bury a son," said Lenny.
Now, he's watching facing charges that could land him in prison for life.
"I'm in shock that there's even the possibility that he's capable of doing that," said Lenny.
Kevin Curtis, the original suspect in the ricin letter investigation, was released just four days before Dutschke's arrest. Curtis says that Dutschke framed him because of a feud the two have had for years.

By JAKE COYLE
(AP) NEW YORK - The Tribeca Film Festival opened in a spirit of brotherly love _ both on the screen, and in thoughts for the people for Boston.
Richard Belzer began by dedicating this year's festival, the 12th annual, to Boston following Monday's deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon. Tribeca is no stranger to such horror: It was founded by Robert De Niro and Jane Rosenthal after the Sept. 11 terror attacks as a way to revitalize downtown Manhattan.
"Tonight, we're all Bostonians," said Belzer at the Tribeca Performing Arts Center.
Belzer, De Niro and Rosenthal introduced the festival's opening night attraction, the documentary "Mistaken for Strangers." It was made by Tom Berninger, brother of the leader singer of the Brooklyn indie rock band the National, Matt Berninger.
Though an amateur filmmaker, Tom Berninger filmed his experience as a roadie on tour with his older brother's band. He called an "a small, little, lo-fi thing" in his brief remarks before the film played.
But the humble "Mistaken for Strangers" delighted the star-studded Tribeca crowd in its comic, warm portrait a brotherhood divided by fame.
The younger, somewhat slovenly and unorganized Berninger cuts a very different figure than his older, intense and brooding brother. More of a "metal head," he joins the National on tour in Europe looking to party like a rock star, only to find his brother's band is more, as he says, "coffee house" than all-night bar.
The film chronicles the siblings' relationship, particularly showing Tom Berninger as the uncertain, lesser-accomplished underdog between the two. It's less of a behind the scenes document than a quirky, oddly moving film about the making of a film. In the opening scene, Matt Berninger chastises his brother's silly, Chris Farley-like interview questions: "Do you have any organization and plan for this film?"
Following the screening, the National performed at an after-party at the Highland Ballroom. It's not the first time Tribeca has begun with a concert and documentary pairing. In 2011, the festival opened with Elton John performing after Cameron Crowe's music documentary "The Union."
Tribeca runs through April 28.

Comcast's thePlatform puts HTML out front on new video player service
It's a fragmentized ecosystem when it comes to enabling video content across various devices and browsers, but Comcast's thePlatform hopes to build a more unified front with an updated video player service that puts HTML5 in the leadoff position.
HTML5 has emerged as the common standard for media assets, and starting this year, thePlatform's Universal Player Service is set to default to HTML5 players to render video quickly, but it will dynamically switch to Adobe Systems' Flash if needed.
The end result is more consistent playback on websites, iOS devices, Android devices and Windows 8 devices, according to thePlatform. With HTML5 out front, thePlatform said customers would experience faster load times for video playback and lower development costs.
There is also no need for companies to manage duplicate systems for individual players, since thePlatform's mpx publishing system automatically associates all the metadata and business policies for each video across both HTML5 and Flash players.
"We've always supported HTML5, but the technology has matured over the past 18 months, and it's now ready for primetime," said Marty Roberts, senior vice president of sales and marketing at thePlatform. "Companies are being swamped by the combination of devices and browsers needed to ensure their videos render well on their customers' device of choice. Our new Player Service alleviates that challenge in an incredibly simple and cost-efficient way. HTML5 has become the lead technology that we recommend to our customers for publishing video across devices, and it has replaced Flash as the default setting in our mpx Player Service."
Last month, thePlatform analyzed video views managed through its mpx publishing system across thousands of specific device "profiles," or unique combinations of device models, operating systems and browsers.
Outside of computers, iPads accounted for the most video views in December, followed by iPhones, followed by Android smartphones and tablets. ThePlatform introduced its new Player Service to reduce the complexity for customers trying to manage video playback across a growing number of devices.
In addition to switching on the fly between HTML5 and Flash, the enhanced Player Service automatically updates with iOS, Android and Windows 8 releases, ensuring that videos are always available.
Aside from Comcast, customers for thePlatform include Cablevision, Cox Communications, Time Warner Cable, Rogers Communications, RCN and Liberty Global.

The Center for Ecoliteracy has identified and supported a number of schools and projects that embody processes and practices for effective education for sustainability.
Schools are systems, and they are communities. They are themselves important nodes in the web of institutions that constitutes society. Whatever happens in schools will have profound effects on the rest of society.
The most effective schools are often communities that model the traits of sustainable societies:
- They know that children's ability to learn, and what they learn, are greatly affected by the vibrancy and health of the culture of the school and the quality of the relationships within it
- They function as "apprenticeship communities" in which leadership is shared and members of the community see themselves and others as both teachers and learners
- They often observe that "the curriculum is anywhere that learning occurs" (whether or not it is intended or directed by educators)
Effective schools frequently incorporate one or several of the following practices:
- They connect children with the natural world through programs and projects outside the classroom, such as school gardens, habitat restoration, and communicating their experience in nature through painting and poetry
- They practice place-based education that teaches students about the people, history, culture, and natural features of their local community and region
- They practice environmental project-based learning, involving students in local projects that are meaningful and make real contributions to their communities
- They integrate in-class learning with hands-on experiences and with all of the activities (including, e.g., lunch) of the school
- They address whole children, recognizing that children's ability to learn is affected by their health and well-being, and that these are in turn affected by such factors as nutrition, exercise, and the health of the natural environment
- They employ the best current understandings of how brains and minds develop and how children learn. They attend to children in all their dimensions, including cognitive, emotional, and aesthetic.

November 2014
Lawrence, Kansas (affectionately to be referred to henceforth as LFK) continues to be a source of the kinds of music that I want to hear more of and know more about. One band in particular has really caught my ear of late with a sound that's raw, dirty, energetic, and undeniably attention-grabbing: The Sluts, a bare-bones twosome consisting of Kristoffer Dover on drums and Ryan Wise on guitar and vocals. Two musicians, no more, no less … but as the sounds you'll hear on their new EP Loser will demonstrate, two musicians is plenty when it comes to making a substantial sonic statement.
Their mix of garage, punk, and grunge kicks things off with the opener, "Let Me Go," as The Sluts tear things up with a grimy bounce firmly entrenched in 4/4 time. "Loser" starts with a tip of the cap to upbeat new wavey rhythms, but 25 seconds into the track, the boys re-establish the power presence that is their raison d'etre (how's THAT for some damn NPR-speak, kids?). "Green" and "Linger" wrap up the four-track, barely-more-than-ten-minute EP with the sound that I've most commonly described as "Nirvana without Krist Novoselic," as Wise's sneering vocals and snarling guitar combined with Dover's relentlessly on-point percussion give the music just a bit of Bleach-era homage while sounding very much of the present day.
I had the honor of introducing The Sluts during this year's Midcoast Takeoverat SXSW; they were on the roster of the I Heart Local Music / Whatever Forever day-party that featured more examples of LFK's finest (Black on Black, Shy Boys, Josh Berwanger Band, and Oils/CS Luxem). After a couple long days of music and food truck fare and drinking, the abrasive grind of The Sluts was a much-needed Brillo pad to the brain. Give Loser a listen, and keep an eye out for this band.
Love me some dirty, filthy, nasty The Sluts. Awwww yeahhhhhh.

Now I am really bummed and disappointed that the colors in the photo are much brighter than they are in person. Also, this piece weighs practically nothing. I was expecting something a little more heavy duty and higher quality for the price and size. December 27, 2012

Partly Cloudy

By Spencer Salinder
Bottled water is one of the most promoted drinks in the world. This beverage may be a luxury to those who drink it, but it is destroying the planet slowly but surely.
Many people don't know this because it is not properly placed on the labels of bottles, but bottled water is sometimes just municipal water filtered, treated and bottled up. Many people agree that drinking bottled water is safer than drinking tap water, but that is a lie.
In recent studies the NRDC (National Resource Defense Counsel) tested 1,000 bottles of water and 103 different brands and found that approximately one-third of the water tested positive for contamination such as synthetic organic chemicals, bacteria and arsenic.
Also, economically speaking, buying bottled water is like giving extra money to the companies such as Coke, Pepsi, Evian, and many familiar bottled water companies. People in the United States spend from 240 to 10,000 times as much per gallon for bottled water than they usually do for tap water.
According to the Sierra Club Organization, in 2006, more than 900,000 tons of plastic was used to package 8 billion gallons of bottled water and one-quarter of a bottle full of oil is what is embedded in energy used to make each bottle.
In recent years of bottled water the bottles have been made out of a plastic that is called PET which is known to be harmful and more toxic than most plastics used. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate, which generates over 100 times more toxic emissions than an equivalent of glass according to Berkeley Ecology Center.
According to the Container Recycling Institute in 2005, 85 billion bottles of water were sold mostly in PET containers. And in 2004, 85 percent of all non-carbonated PET bottles ended up in landfills or as litter in parks and along roadways -- that's 24 billion empty water bottles, 66 million every day according to the Sierra Club Organization. And many of these bottles end up in the vast floating vortex of plastic the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean.
Tap water may have rumors about it, but rumors are not always true. Some or most of United States tap water has minerals and natural vitamins non-harmful to the body. People may think if they buy bottled water and properly dispose of it then they are off the hook; well no, anyone who thinks they did a good deed is wrong. Those bottles will still end up in landfills.
The best one can do is support the environment by reducing or boycotting use of bottled water. People who wish to act on an alternative, could drink from metal or aluminum canteen bottles that do not pollute the environment and which can be purchased online.
For further information on bottled water visit the writer's blog at www.spencersalinder01.blogspot.com.

It of course did not go with my red/blue themed room. This print is VERY bright - bordering juvenile. Would have best application in teen girl bedroom with this color palette. October 28, 2012

Comments about PS 300 EQ Trion Barrel Grip Jigsaw:
Love the grip of this tool. Feels like it's meant to fit your hand, especially the front top handrest. Scroll cutting or following a straight line through 1" thick material or thinner is a breeze. Does exactly what you intend it to do.
I bought this saw with the intention of doing some sweeping scroll cuts in some 4x cedar and since they tout their extra long blade for cutting curves I figured its a home run. Actually, I'll give it a triple. Does it perform well: Yes. As well as it was described: No. Like any blade, the longer it gets the more chance you have of deflection. I had to do some sanding to even things out but not a great deal, but to say that this tool does not experience at least some deflection is incorrect.
Don't get me wrong, I still love it. In fact, my Bosch now has my Collin's Coping Foot installed permanently on it because I always reach for the Trion when I need a jigsaw.
Best Uses
Comments about PS 300 EQ Trion Barrel Grip Jigsaw:
Very good smooth cuts. A little bit of walking of the blade. View is tough with dust shrowd on. Power is there. Comfort and accuracy is there. Definately a very good jig saw. I do think that festool can do better.
Best Uses
Comments about PS 300 EQ Trion Barrel Grip Jigsaw:
Not having used the new carvex models, I bought this saw because I was already invested in the Festool system. I usually buy Bosch blades which cut great due to availability immediately from the hardware store. Another reviewer mentioned having difficulty seeing the cut line with the plastic dust shroud attached and this is true, I can't use it at all. So this sacrifices a bit of the collection power, but at least the cut is visible.
My other complaint would be changing the angle of the baseplate, I needed to cut 45 degree angles with the jigsaw and there are no set stops here. Upon tightening the one screw down to lock the baseplate, the angle has a tendency to change on you.
Other than that, a decent saw especially at the reduced prices now.
Best Uses
Comments about PS 300 EQ Trion Barrel Grip Jigsaw:
This is a great jigsaw and far better than my bosch. It does take time to get use to but make no mistake it is a great jigsaw. Now if FESTOOL would only hurry up on the carvex. Now that is a jigsaw to reckon with.
Best Uses
Comments about PS 300 EQ Trion Barrel Grip Jigsaw:
I traded in my BOSCH jigsaw for this tool. In doing so I wanted to experience a barrel handled jigsaw, which I've come to prefer. I give this tool 5-stars despite a single improvement that could take place: a variable speed trigger of some sort. It would be helpful to be able to control blade speed this way rather than as a set speed selection. In any case, the cuts are amazing! Smoooooooth. And it works well enough with my MINI dust collection system so that I'm happy using it inside, when required. Blade selection is robust, blades are well-made, perhaps the best going. It's a fantastic tool with a comfortable heft that inspires confidence in the tool. Lifelong tool.

Flights to Moscow with Finnair
Submerse yourself in the fascinating capital city of Russia
Inhabited by nine million people, Moscow is a treasure-trove of architecture, history and art. At the heart of the city lies what is perhaps the most famous square in the world, the Red Square, where you can find Saint Basil's Cathedral known for its colourful onion-shaped domes and Lenin's mausoleum. Surrounded by a high wall, Kremlin is like a small city within the city; Russia's administrative centre is full of beautiful cathedrals, museums and palaces, which make it a very interesting place to visit. The legendary GUM luxury shopping mall on the Red Square is worth visiting – for some window-shopping at the least.
Visit the Bolshoi Theatre to see world-famous ballet performances, or the Tretjakov State Gallery or the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts to marvel at fabulous collections of Russian art. If you feel like enjoying a warm summer day outside, take a riverboat to Gorky Park amusement park.
The city is proud of its culinary traditions, too: apart from Russian delicacies, Moscow offers treats such as sushi or true gourmet experiences served by Michelin starred chefs.

WILMINGTON, NC (UNCW sports release) — Professional tennis Hall-of-Famer and former Wimbledon champion Stan Smith headlines the "Landfall Legends of Tennis" on Sept. 21-23 at the Country Club of Landfall's Tennis Center.
The three-day event is sponsored by BB&T and presented by Williams Mullen. It will benefit the UNCW Seahawk Club and the Miracle League.
Smith, who dominated the sport in the early 1970s, is scheduled to compete against returning legends Jimmy Arias, Luke Jensen, Bret Garnett, Mikael Pernfors and CCL Director of Tennis Charlie Owens. CCL's ACE Tennis Academy juniors, UNCW players and local professionals will also take the court with the Legends participants in singles, doubles and mixed doubles.
Smith dominated tennis in the early 1970s and posted Grand Slam victories at the 1971 U.S. Open and 1972 Wimbledon. He won 39 singles and 61 doubles titles, climbing to No. 1 in the world, and was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 1976.
The event will fund student-athlete tennis scholarships at UNCW through the Seahawk Club and also generate funds for the Miracle League of Wilmington.
"The Landfall community plays a significant role in our tennis programs," said Jimmy Bass, UNCW's athletic director. "The support the Landfall community gives to our student-athletes through charitable giving provides tremendous opportunities for growth in the classroom and on the court. We're extremely fortunate to have such a great community partner."
The Miracle League is a group of individuals dedicated to building a handicap-accessible baseball field, park and playground for special needs children to play sports and have fun. Construction on a $1.2 million facility is under way at Ogden Park.
"The Miracle League of Wilmington is honored to be a part of this year's Landfall Legends of Tennis," said Pete Hexter, fundraising chairman. "This event will help support not only the baseball field and playground under construction, but help bring together additional community resources to give special needs children and their families a place for recreational fun."
General admission tickets are $10. A Marquis Table for four, covering all three days of tennis, Saturday night's Grand Slam party and drink tickets, is $520. Tickets may be purchased at Landfall Realty and Marquis Tables may be purchased by contacting the CCL Sports Center at 910-256-7625.
For more information about the players competing, event sponsors, beneficiaries, tickets and table pricing, visit the Landfall Legends of Tennis website at www.LandfallLegends.com or the Seahawk Club's website www.uncwsports.com/seahawkclub.

Guides and Manuals
Guides and Manuals are "how-to" documents, giving advice and instructions on specific building techniques and methods. Some, such as the Review of Residential Ventilation Technologies, cover multiple examples within a general topic area. Others, such as the Guide to Insulating Sheathing, are focused on a particular concept and its applications. Longer guides and manuals include background information to help facilitate a strong understanding of the building science behind the hands-on advice.
In addition to these longer standalone guides, this section also contains two quick, easy-to-read series. The IRC FAQ series answers common questions about the building science approach to specific building tasks (for example, insulating a basement). The READ THIS: Before... series offers guidelines and recommendations for everyday situations such as moving into a new home or deciding to renovate.
