DESCRIPTIONThis module allows placing a Render window on another X windows display. To use the module, type in the display name into the text widget. This name should be the X display name, as in "iris2:0". A rendering window will then be opened on that display.
Once the window is opened, it will behave like the Render module. See the Render man page for further information.
Port: Input
Type: Geometry
Optional: This port is optional.
This is the port where all regular geometry should be wired. The module uses information about the connections to update the proper geometry.
Port: Annotation
Type: Geometry
Optional: This port is optional.
Geometry that arrives on this port is rendered into a separate z-buffer from geometry on the main port. The result is that geometry on this port is always drawn in front of geometry on the main port. This may be useful for keeping annotation unobscured.
Port: Screen
Type: Geometry
Optional: This port is optional.
Geometry that arrives on this port is rendered in screen coordinates, [-1,+1] in both x and y, and in front of all other geometry. This port can be used to draw legends or other information that moving the camera shouldn't affect.
Port: Transform
Type: Lattice
Optional: This port is optional.
Constraints: 2-D
Constraints: 1-vector
This is an optional 4x4 transform that is applied to all geometry. It can be used to provide external camera control. Use of this input is discouraged for other applications.
Port: Input Camera
Type: Geometry
Optional: This port is optional.
Port: Snap
Type: Button
This input provides an interface to capture the drawing area display into a lattice. The widget is invisible, so it must be activated by wiring a parameter in. When data is received, the drawing area pixels are grabbed from the screen and output as a lattice. The Render window must not be obscured while the snapshot is being taken.
Port: Display
Type: Text
This is the module drawing area widget.
Port: Pick
Type: Pick
Pick data is output on this port on mouse button and keyboard events when user pick mode is active.
Port: Snapshot
Type: Lattice
Constraints: 2-D
Constraints: 3-vector
Constraints: byte
Constraints: uniform
This lattice contains a snapshot of the screen in ABGR pixel order. The Render window must not be obscured while the snapshot is being taken.
Port: Output Camera
Type: Geometry
KNOWN PROBLEMSFor SGI platforms, remote rendering to a remote non-native OpenGL machine (IRIS PI, GTX, VGX, VTX) is not supported, unless the MesaGL version of this module (which does not use OpenGL) is used.
For a description of how to use the MesaGL modules (UNIX platforms only), See IRIS Explorer Environment Variables in the IRIS Explorer User's Guide.

Step 1: Limitations and Precautions
Step 2: The Trick
The Trick:
1. Pick any number to multyply by 11.
ex. Im going to pick 3,516.
2. Take your number that you have picked and write down the last number(the ones digit).
ex. in our example its 6.
3. Then starting from the last two digits(ones and tens) add them together and write that number next to your last number.
ex. 1+6=7. Then 7 is placed next to my 6 therefore 76.
4. You would continue this process from right to left until you have no more digits to add.
ex. 5+1=6. Then 6 is placed next to 76 therefore 676.
ex. 3+5=8. Then 8 is placed next to 676 therefore 8676
5. The final step in the process is to place the foreleading digit in front of the number youve created through all of the addition.
ex. 3 is placed next to 8676 which gives you 38,676.
So there you have it. You can check that on the calculator if you would like and this will work for all numbers multiplied by 11. Good luck and happy arithmetic!

Books, Bangs, Bucks & Budgets
As a producer, I tend to think of Eldritch Errors as a machine with two modes: burn and coast. When the production is in burn mode during a Book, it costs more to keep Eldritch healthy. When we come into an Interlude, that cost goes down ... but if you coast too long you'll lose too much of your momentum. When Eldritch is in burn mode, I have budget goals for what I want to keep the expenses to each month in addition to GMD Studios' standing team. Budgets can be horribly boring, the mere mechanics of implementing ideas, but they can also be where you find the best "bang for the buck" approaches that make an idea a success.
What follows is intended primarily for other interactive storytellers or those really interested in the mechanics of what makes Eldritch work behind the scenes from a budget perspective as an independent production. It isn't intended as a tutorial or a comprehensive budget model. It is just one producer's notebook about ways to think about how budgets -- of live events, especially -- can become useful tools for both qualitative goal setting and for making small budgets look bigger than they are.
The burn rate for Book One and for Book Two were almost identical: Book 2 was 4% more expensive on a straight "budget-to-duration" comparison to Book 1. I'm not saying we spent 4% more on Book 2 than Book 1, I'm saying we spent about 70% less than we did on Book 1 because Book 2 was also about a quarter of the length. These budgets might still be a little sizeable for a lone storyteller or grassroots team, but are tiny when compared to we work with in commercial projects. They all work on the same general planning principles anyway (at least if I have any control over the budgets!)
I spend alot of time of thinking about how to get the most bang for each of those bucks, bang that the audience sees and experiences. Getting that bang/buck ratio means looking at each element you spend money on in terms of the impact it creates on the experience with a critical eye. In a perfect world, your time is just as precious of a commodity as your money, so you could just as easily be measuring production labor against that same yardstick.
While I'm certainly flattered that "the boys" at the ARG Netcast thought it felt like a big commercial event, examples are useful. So, let's look at the Eldritch expenses associated with just the West Virginia live event. I'd make the first pile of expenses related to "providing the participants with the physical experience" in Cass and on Bald Knob. Pretty easy to account up:
Company house, $129/night x 3 days = $387
Wilderness cabin, $44/night x 1 day = $44
Historic train tickets, $20 x 5 participants = $100
At this point, I'm feeling pretty clever. $106.20 per person with them all car pooling to the destination. Seriously not a bad vacation value, the place was absolutely goregous and dramatic: you almost couldn't take a bad picture, I tried. However, I haven't started to add up the less visible expenses associated with making the story happen in addition to the "vacation":
5 airplane tickets for performers = $2,000
Snowshoe condo for team, $249/night x 3 days = $747
Two rental SUVs for 3 days = $650
Camping & surival equipment = $1,100
Food, pies, gas, misc. = $450
More historical train tickets, $20 x 5 cast = $100
You could think of this as a "per non-participant" cost average of $841.17 since there was a team of six of us there (Brooke drove in!) which is almost 850% more than the expenses "per participant". That team is also almost exactly half "on stage" and half "off stage" (if you excuse my brief uncredited appearance as Nodens Thug #55, "Psion Hat Man".) Miguel and Caroline were almost entirely "on stage" in activities, Brooke and I were almost entirely "off stage" in activities, and J.D. and Dee were some strange middle-ground between the two.
So let's look at that like a production budget for a moment, divided into three rough categories as an illustration:
Set & Setting (100% audience visible): $531.00 (9.5%)
"On Stage" (almost all audience visible): $2,523.50 (45.25%)
"Off Stage" (almost all invisible): $2,523.50 (45.25%)
This is just one slice of one particular budget, mind you, but it does let me as a producer start to conceptualize ideas like "more than half of the budget for the event was directly visible by the participants" and to ask questions like "would it be worth it if more people show up to rent a second company house?"
This isn't the same thing as getting to that "bang for buck" question, though: I can think of alot of ways we could have spent the same $5,578 that would have felt like less bang for that buck. Spending it all on pie comes to mind. For comparison, the similar expenses for the Altanta event were about $3,500, with more of it in props and less (none) in cast and somewhat less in travel (we all roadtripped that time.) Did the West Virginia event feel "159% cooler" than the Atlanta event? My gut says yeah, probably even better than that. I'll leave that up to the participants to judge, as the range of experiences in Book 2 was alot broader than in Book 1 and "your mileage may vary."
Ultimately, when the storyteller in me trumps the producer, I'll settle for each Book being better than the last, and work from the assumption that the next Book has to be even better to keep momentum on our side. The producer in me, though, wants to grow that momentum and top our previous high water mark on the same rough burn rate on expenses. That means looking for all those little ways to maximize the bang each buck gives me and constantly looking for ways to get more of the expenses directly in view of more of the participants ... which is what the bang is all about. Otherwise, I have to spend more each time to top the previous intensity level.
The same issues apply whether you're thinking about bucks by the hundreds, thousands or millions: you want to get the most out of that resource, and never more so than when you're spending your own money instead of someone else's.
Interesting. I've meant to bring this up elsewhere, but here's as good a place as any.
Did you purposely not provide recording media for the cast for design reasons? The reason I ask is that for a small buck, you could have dramatically increased your bang by say, equipping every cast member with a personal recorder or similar so that the experience could be shared with those not present. Now, I'm not sure what your vision is as regards telling a story via transient methods (e.g. CL posts which disappear, shared experiences, etc. ), but to me it seems like you are creating a sort of fake legend (as opposed to real legends, based on historical events). I.e. There is evidence that something happened, but the details are left to the participants to flesh out and relate through word of mouth or other narrative means (e.g. Mapmaker's synopsis, chat discussions, etc.). This relates to your request for speculation, which could be interpreted as a snapshot of the evolution/progression of the "legend so far"(The legend of Eldritch Errors?)
Which brings me back to my question, was the lack of recording intentional or just an oversight?
That's a really deep question, actually.
We could have easily captured it all and we talked about it, but we were afraid that if we did you all would be less likely to do so yourselves. If we shot it "in story" (so that it could be delivered "in story") we would have needed to create "shiny-lensed observers" which might have changed the nature of the experience. Devon didn't seem like the "say that again for this camera" kinda guy to us. We also picked a particularly crappy place to be more clandestine about filming: we had no way to get to the cabin before you, because the train doesn't even run on Fridays in the Fall.
At the same time, I do so love legends, because they make storytellers and photographers and filmmakers (YOU!) out of the people who hear the stories. In this kind of story, under-documentation is less of a problem than in other kinds of stories, it just encourages you to play with the pieces of the narrative more.
I don't mean to turn mysterious, but this concept of "shiny-lensed observers" will come up more heavily in the NEXT interlude, my friend. If I WERE capturing more than I was showing, I might work hard to obscure both how I'm doing that, why I'm doing that and what I intend to do with it until the rhythm of Eldritch Errors experience is more familiar to people. Otherwise, the glare off a lens can ruin the natural setting of the scene ... unless it was YOUR lens.
unless it was YOUR lens.
Now there's a bit of conflict, because as I sat there at that cabin table listening to "Devon" spool up for the eventual "interrogation" my mind went to the camera in my jacket beside me. I so wanted to pull it out and start recording, but knew that it would be incongruous to do so and would completely break the moment, not to mention ruin my experience. (vid-cam dad at Disney, anyone?) So I decided against it at the time, and part of me still regrets that decision because the "folks at home" didn't get a whole lot of the experience from that night. We do so rely on our digital records nowadays. Now if I'd had a hidden voice recorder....I could have even captured Caroline's masterful Aria in Scream major...(and our 5 part harmony).
That's my punishment for playing with the communication channel in that Book, J5. I'll never get to hear that scream, I have to be satisifed that J.D. says I would have loved it :)

Sexuality"Sexuality: Some Common Convictions" is the ELCA's social message on sexuality written and adopted at a time of considerable discussion and debate around several aspects of sexuality, especially homosexuality. In the midst of that discussion, it became clear that there were widely shared, theologically-based convictions even though a social statement regarding sexuality was not yet possible.
This message expresses the shared conviction that human sexuality is a gift of God for expressing love and generating life, for mutual companionship and for pleasure. Discussion in the message expresses how sin disrupts this fundamental goodness and calls people of faith to lives of responsible freedom within God's creation. "Sexuality: Some Common Convictions" was built upon the statements of predecessor church bodies that merged to form the ELCA, and its purpose was to provide guidance for members of the ELCA and articulate a public witness in society.
The social statement "Human Sexuality: Gift and Trust" adopted in 2009 now serves as the primary and comprehensive teaching and policy document of the ELCA. "Common Convictions" continues to serve as a social message understood in light of similar convictions developed with greater depth and breadth in the social statement.
You can read or download the full social message on "Sexuality: Some Common Convictions" in English or en español. This social message was adopted in 1996 by the Church Council of the ELCA.

Ever have one of those weeks? Do I really need to ask? This week had that feeling for me. The main project I was working on had a few delays and a few other small projects forced their way into the mix. I started looking forward to Friday as early as Tuesday. It got here though, didn't it? Somehow I managed to collect the usual assortment of links for what I hope is your reading pleasure.
Social Media and Web 2.0
Last week all the Digg news was how the community staged a revolt against Kevin Rose's decision for pulling the HD-DVD hex code post. Michael Gray is already seeing less action on Digg and wondered if the diggers are done digging. If you're worried less activity makes it harder for you to get to the home page you can always use sex to help sell your content to the Digg crowd.
And have no fear about what will come of Kevin Rose should Digg spiral down. He's starting his 3rd company as we speak and developing a new kind of communication tool to compete with IM.
It may not be as sexy as Digg, but that doesn't mean Netscape can't send traffic and links your way. Muhammed offers a comprehensive beginners guide to Netscape. While each social media site has it's own quirks you want to get to know there are still some general do's and don'ts that apply to all of them. I really like the attitude the Reddit's conscious took this week in trying to motivate the community to do more than just post the same old content. Is the first charge just meant to separate Reddit from the immaturity of Digg or is this really all about enacting social change. Either way I applaud the post.
If I had to choose one word to describe web 2.0 it would be 'interaction.' Version 1.0 of the web put your content in front of people. Version 2.0 is about getting people to interact with your content. Pablo Palatnik has some tips to web 2.0-ify your site. Before you get too carried away you should understand that the web 2.0 crowd is much smaller than first thought. When you're ready and want some examples of how to do it right check out the winners of SEOmoz's 2007 web 2.0 awards.

Link Building
Does Andy Hagans ever write a bad post? If so I haven't seen it. This week Andy has some great advice on building links. It may be harder now, but Andy will help make it a little easier. The paid links debate continues. Lil Evans asked the experts for their take on the situation. Eric Ward asked how anyone could really measure link building effectiveness, while taking a look at the folly of linking metrics. Folly or not you still want those metrics showing more incoming links don't you? Raj Dash has some alternate strategies for building links.
Eli's real seo example isn't just about link building, but the focus of the post involves getting links in Eli style and I didn't have a lot of link building posts for the week so I'm including it here. I think this weekend I may spend a few hours in the Bluehat SEO archives. Eli's posts are that good.

I've grabbed a couple of Aaron Wall's posts this week. First on some of the tools the search engines give us and second on Google's supplemental index.

I'm sure you know tracking your web stats is an important part of optimizing your site. What you may not know is which analytics package is the best option for you. Stone Temple Consulting collected data from four sites and compared five analytics programs. If you're looking for a new analytics application check this post first.
Analytics aren't the only tools you likely use. David Naylor reviews Wordze, one of the newer players in the keyword research market, and liked what he saw. Loren Baker has some advice on why you might want to do your keyword research before choosing your domain. You might already have a process in place for how you seo a site. However if you don't (or even if you do) you can benefit from the routine Rand uses at SEOmoz. Can't hurt to follow the practices of one of the best.

Early this week Google updated the Analytics features and user interface. I'm still getting used to the new look, but I've been liking what I see so far and think the changes are for the better. If the update hasn't hit your account yet you can still get a peak at what's to come as most of the links below offer screen shots while offering opinions on the changes. And once the new interface does find your account be sure to take a look at what Avinash thinks you should do first with Analytics version 2.

It's all about the advertising at Google. Late last week Google decided to share advertising revenue with the creators of the most popular YouTube videos, which should lead to an influx of of original videos. Google has begun beta testing 'gadget ads' and Andy Beal has a first look at the incorporation of print ads in AdWords. And Michael Jensen, with some interesting speculation, suggests it might not be long before you see Google ads at a movie theater near you.

Stanford was granted a new patent on PageRank of all things. It's been a few years since the filing, but the grant on the patent just went through this week. As always Bill is here to help the rest of us understand what it all means. And just yesterday Google held its annual press and shareholder meeting at the Googleplex. Andy Beal has four part coverage of the event. I'll provide you with a link to part four, which holds links to the first three parts of the coverage.
Yahoo said goodbye to a couple of properties. Last week it was Yahoo Photos shutting down and this week Yahoo Auctions was announced to be closing.

Because of my early 'This Week' post last week I didn't get to cover the talks between Microsoft and Yahoo. It started to feel like a non-story to me as the week progressed, but Steve Ballmer didn't rule out a possible acquisition of Yahoo. I really haven't given all that much thought to a potential merger between the two other than an initial gut reaction of not wanting it to happen.
Microsoft may not have made a deal with Yahoo, but they did acquire a stake in the job site Career Builder.
Hotmail has gone live in 36 languages with a new Ajax interface, John Batelle has the scoop on a new mashup to allow text links to become more interactive, and Bill Gates has decided to focus on search for his last year and a half with Microsoft.

It's really Friday isn't it? Sadly I still have a bit of work I need to get to tomorrow, but fortunately it shouldn't take more than an hour or two. Other than that the weekend calls for some R&R and of course some reading and rereading of the above links and the Bluehat archive. Summer has suddenly crept up on Boulder and as predicted I do have the AC going. I think we've hit that time where it will stay on most of the next few months. Enjoy the weekend everyone and happy reading.

People waking up tomorrow expecting something in the mail may be disappointed as an unknown amount has been destroyed in a post box fire.
Strood firefighters were called out to Commissioners Road, Strood, at 6.54pm last night.
Using a powder extinguisher they quashed the fire.
One of the crew at the incident said: "We did not open then post box, just put the powder extinguisher inside, so we don't know how much damage there was.
"But any mail not damaged by the fire will be covered in powder now, rather than soaking wet and ruined.
"We have no way of knowing how the fire started or if the incident was deliberate."

Pamela Patton's research examines the rich visual traditions of medieval Iberia, with an emphasis on the multiple intersections of Iberian visual culture with religious and ethnic identity. Her projects have won grants from the Kress Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Her books include Pictorial Narrative in the Romanesque Cloister: Cloister Imagery and Religious Life in Medieval Spain (Peter Lang, 2004) and Art of Estrangement: Redefining Jews in Reconquest Spain (Penn State University Press, 2012), winner of the 2014 Eleanor Tufts Book Award. Her articles and essays have concerned monastic architectural sculpture, the text-image relationship in manuscripts, and the portrayal of ethnic and religious minorities in high and late medieval Iberia. Teaching interests include the art and architecture of medieval Iberia; art of the medieval courts; and ethnicity, religion, and identity in medieval Europe. Her latest research concerns the semiotics of skin color in medieval Iberia, in connection with which she is currently editing the anthology, Envisioning Others: Race, Color, and the Visual in Iberia and Latin America, for Brill's "Medieval and Early Modern Iberia" series. Dr. Patton received a B.A. magna cum laude from Tufts University, an M.A in art history from Williams College, and a Ph.D. in art history from Boston University. She is currently Associate Professor and Chair of Art History at SMU, where she also served as curator of the Meadows Museum from 1993 to 2000.

Crowds swarm church with tribute to bomb victims
Crowds lined sidewalks around a Boston cathedral Thursday, looking for comfort and to lend support as an interfaith service that included remarks by President Barack Obama paid tribute to marathon bombing victims.
Some people stood in line for hours to try to get tickets to the event at Cathedral of the Holy Cross, which was open to the public on a first-come, first-service basis.
There was a heavy police presence around the cathedral in the city's South End and authorities closed nearby streets to traffic.
Some runners from Monday's marathon were among those who attended the service, and many donned their race jackets for it. Attendees also included a number of Boston nurses who have cared for the wounded since the bombings.
"I think it's important that we heal as well as those who were affected. I guess sometimes you feel you can't do a single thing and this is something we can do," said Beth Anne Stevenson, a Boston Medical Center surgical intensive care unit nurse.
After waiting in line for about two hours, Boston University School of Theology Dean Mary Elizabeth Moore got a ticket to enter the cathedral, which seats about 2,000.
"I'm here to lament and hope and celebrate the first responders and the many people who have done acts of kindness in the last three days," she said.
Three people died and more than 180 were injured when two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon's finish line Monday.
Thursday's service included reflections by representatives of Protestant denominations; the Jewish, Muslim and Greek Orthodox faiths; and by Cardinal Sean O'Malley, who heads the Catholic Church in Boston.
Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Thomas Menino also spoke at the service, and cellist Yo-Yo Ma performed.
First lady Michelle Obama attended the event with the president, but the people who packed the sidewalks in front of the cathedral didn't catch a glimpse of them entering.
Many in the crowd stuck around even after the church had filled up.
"We wanted to get inside, but the line was just forever, forever, forever," said David Russo, a 31-year-old resident of Lowell.
Eli Philips, 18, a student at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences and a marathon volunteer who wore his race jacket on Thursday, also didn't get a seat. He said he was still shocked that "something that was euphoric went so bad."
Ricky Hall, 67, of Cambridge, showed up at 8 a.m. and stayed even after he learned he wouldn't get inside.
"I came to pay my respects to the victims," he said.
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren reflected on the nearly 90-minute tribute after leaving the cathedral.
"The service honored those we lost, it supported those who are injured, but most of all it encourages all of us for the future," she said.
She said it was a reminder "that in Boston you can knock us down but you can't knock us out of the race."
Warren also urged Bostonians not to be afraid, saying first responders would protect the city as authorities worked to bring the person or persons responsible for the attack to justice.
"We are people who are strong and resilient," the senator said. "We will be vigilant, but we will not be afraid."

As of Saturday, November 3, 2012
© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Asked what traits the Dougherty County Commission was looking for when it appointed Don Cheek as chief of the county's police department in May 2003, Commission Chairman Jeff Sinyard offers a somewhat complex answer.
"One thing we knew we had to do was find someone who could take that department to the next level," Sinyard said. "So we were looking for somebody who was 'all of the above.'"
The commission found what it was looking for in Cheek, a then-26-year veteran of the Albany Police Department who'd retired a few years earlier as deputy chief of the department. Schooled as a young beat cop by old-guard police who'd fought crime primarily with their wits, but wise enough to recognize the advantages of utilizing the latest law enforcement technology, Cheek indeed helped bring Dougherty County Police Department's crime-fighting capability into the 21st century.
On Friday, with 44 years of public service under his belt and with his department "able to measure itself across the board with any other force in the country," according to Sinyard, Cheek will hang up his badge. He'll turn the reins of DCP over to Chief Deputy Cynthia "Jackie" Battle, hop onto his Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited and ride off into the sunset.
It will be a bittersweet moment for the gentleman police chief who proved to be the embodiment of his credo: Be thorough and be professional.
"I think the hardest adjustment I'm going to have to make is not getting up to go to work in the morning," Cheek said. "I've been working for 44 years now, since I was too young to work legally. But I've heard people say that you know when it's time to step down, and it's time.
"I'm going to miss this job, but I'm going to miss the people here more. It's because of them, because of these people who depended on each other have their backs, that I learned to love this profession like I never thought I would."
Given that he idolized his FBI agent father (Marion "Eddie" Cheek) while growing up, many assume that Donald M. Cheek's career in law enforcement was a foregone conclusion. Not so, says the retiring chief.
"I was going to be a veterinarian," he said. "I actually started out in college in pre-vet medicine at the University of Georgia, but I got drafted -- and I as I tell advisees, it was not by the NFL. When I came back from overseas (with the Army in Germany), I needed a job, but my plan was to work a while and then go back up to Athens and finish school.
"My dad told me he'd help me get a job at APD, so I said, 'Why not?' I got home on a Wednesday and was walking a beat on Pine Avenue on Friday afternoon."
Policing was different in 1971. New recruits had a year after starting work to attend and complete the Police Officer Standards and Training Council-required police academy, and they actually had to purchase their own weapons.
Cheek had been an officer all of five hours when he and another beat patrolman walking Broad Avenue came upon a man who started running when he saw them. They gave chase, catching the fleeing man in an alley near the former First Baptist Church building. Turns out he had just broken into Bill Quick's Gulf service station at the corner of Pine and Jefferson.
"Me and the other officer were like: 'We caught him, now what do we do?'" Cheek laughs. "There were no radios back then, so we handcuffed him and walked him the two and a half blocks to the police station.
"I was so excited, I called my dad and said, 'I caught a robber.' When I told him what had happened, he said, 'No, son, you caught a burglar.' I use that illustration when I teach at the police academy, tell recruits, 'This is why you go through training before you go out on the job.'"
Cheek may not have had the terminology down, but there was one thing that became immediately apparent to him.
"I was hooked ... literally," he said. "I don't know how to describe the feeling, but I knew right then that this was what I wanted to do. I assumed every night was going to be like the first one."
With his career path now clearly defined, Cheek went through the police academy 5 1/2 months later and started a job that would take him to the top of his profession. He served 26 years with the Albany Police Department, advancing to the rank of major before retiring.
"I was fortunate enough to learn from some classic, old-school police officers -- men like Price Lee Westbrook, Bill Manley, Melvin Clegg, Raymond Slaughter, John Patton, Joe Monzie, Bob Prickett, men who mainly used their wits and did the job because they loved it," Cheek said. "They took me under their wing and taught me the basics, taught me how to be a police officer."
While with APD, Cheek spent much of his career in investigations. He and Monzie spent two years investigating a serial rapist whose capture cleared 40 cases, and they also brought in a pair of rapists -- called "Mutt and Jeff" in the media because one was tall and the other short -- who worked in tandem and actually listed a female sheriff's deputy among their victims.
Those and similar cases remain fresh in Cheek's mind.
"Unfortunately, major cases have major victims," he said. "That was why this job resonated with me: seeking some sense of justice for the victims."
Cheek said the murder of Thelma Raybon was the most gruesome he ever worked. The owner of an Albany bridal shop was stabbed "excessively and brutally" by her assailant, whose capture gave Cheek a measure of satisfaction.
"Over the years, those kinds of cases stayed with me," Cheek said. "I was fortunate, though, to be able to go home and talk with my wife (Donna) about the tough days. Having her in my life, I've been unbelievably blessed. I definitely married up."
Cheek retired from the Albany police force in 1997 and worked briefly as chief investigator with the Dougherty County District Attorney's office. He'd started working as an adjunct criminal justice instructor at Darton College in 1994, and in 1998 he left the district attorney's office to work as an assistant professor of criminal justice at Darton.
Cheek stayed at Darton until 2003, when then-DCP Chief Bill Kicklighter retired.
"Some people approached me about the job at DCP, and the more I heard the more I considered it," Cheek said. "It became one of those 'be careful what you wish for, you might get it' situations. I knew the department had been run well, and the more I looked into it the more interested I became."
Cheek took over as chief of the Dougherty Police Department in 2003 and quickly adjusted to a new type of police work.
"You serve a different function than you do in a more urban department," he said of policing the unincorporated portion of the county. "You have a lesser volume of calls, and that allows you to spend more time with each call you respond to. I think that's one of the reasons DCP has a way higher-than-average clearance rate.
"Of course, at DCP, it helped that we had a complete buy-in throughout the department. We're blessed to have a special breed of officers on our force."
On Christmas Eve 2010, Cheek was at home when dispatch called to say units were responding to a robbery in progress. He asked for an update and was called a short time later with news that has haunted him every day since.
"Disptach said Lt. (Cliff) Rouse had been shot and was en route to the hospital," Cheek said. "I quickly got dressed and headed straight there. When I found out he'd succumbed to his wounds, it was a surreal experience. It didn't seem possible that this could have happened to such a special young man.
"That was one of the hardest things I've ever had to deal with in my life; it was the single worst thing that ever happened during my career. Even as we were in shock and hurting at the loss of a member of our family, we had to remain professional and do what we were trained to do."
With 44 years of service under his belt, talk of retirement started creeping more and more into Cheek's conversations. When he was diagnosed with a slow-progressing form of leukemia, the decision became easier for him.
"My health was definitely a factor in my decision," he said. "The anemia and getting tired were the worst of it, but my doctor also said I needed to reduce stress in my life. I'm still able to get up and do things, and I wanted the opportunity to do them with my family.
"My wife and I want to travel, and we plan to spend more time with our kids (Kathryn, Kristy and Rob) and our (five) grandkids. I'm going to ride my motorcycle and play golf, and I know Donna's going to have plenty of projects around the house to keep me busy."
Cheek recommended, and the Dougherty Commission approved, Battle to serve as interim chief of DCP starting Friday when Cheek leaves the station house for the last time as chief. Battle said she's honored to follow in the footsteps of the man who taught her so much.
"I always enjoyed working with Chief Cheek because he brought so many good ideas to the department," Battle said. "I learned a lot just watching him, and we're definitely going to miss his experience and his leadership.
"I don't think things are going to be a lot different around here because Chief Cheek left us a good base to stand on. I plan to just try and do the best I can, to continue the good work he always did."
Sinyard, meanwhile, said the county police department is stronger because of Cheek.
"Chief Cheek brought an incredible level of accountability to DCP, and he had a complete understanding of law enforcement across the board," the commission chairman said. "He had a comprehensive knowledge of the law and of the budgeting process, and he brought a deep sense of integrity and honor to the department. He definitely was all of the above.
"Don Cheek knew how to build the right kind of police force, and he built a permanent foundation that I believe will continue to stand long after he's gone. When we brought him on board, we definitely hit a home run."

Are you really trying to make that comparison? Whether you vote republican or democrat, you cannot deny the intelligence of the President.
He went graduated from Columbia and Harvard, and then taught law at Chicago University Law School. I am not a democrat, but I respect the man and his intellect. What have you done lately?
FryarTuk 2 years, 8 months ago
The ASU diploma is of convenience not substance. This is a good human interest story. His father Special Agent Marion Cheek was a gentleman of the first order. He worked in South Georgia during the racial strife of that by-gone era. Undoubtedly there was a genetic skill transferred to Don Cheek. I hope the County will not begin to look at unifying some of the police and law enforcement responsibilities to eliminate costs and bureaucracy. Godspeed in your retirement, chief.
B4it 2 years, 8 months ago
Fryar - your comments are a little puzzling. Why would you say, "I hope the County will not begin to look at unifying some of the police and law enforcement responsibilities to eliminate costs and bureaucracy"? Did you mean to use the word "not" in your sentence? If yes, then do you realize you just stated why there should be a study conducted to see why we should unify some of the police admin positions? The obvious answer is to reduce costs and bureaucracy, as you had stated. There seems to be too many emotional responses to combining these units rather than looking at them objectively. The first thought seems to be = but look at the crime we have here in Albany. Well, the majority of the crime is in Albany, but not in the outward portions of the county. There are efficiencies that can be gained without removing police officers from the streets. They just need to be explored without the political spin.

Don, best wishes for an enjoyable retirement and that you never forget that you are a hard-headed mule who can kick those health issues mentioned in an earlier article away. You're still the teacher because some of the photos in this article turned on a light bulb for me. Mules like you and me, and every man over the age of 60 needs to pull out an old leisure suit with vest from the 1970s, and any male caught with his pants sagging on the ground should be required to wear that leisure suit for 30 days. The look, feel, and the aggravation of that vest always moving, might be a greater deterrent to any fine or jail time that a judge could levy. Best ole colleague, friend, and sincere individual.

Chief Cheek was a man of dignity and class. Perhaps you idiots that want to discuss the merits of ASU or your usual racist blather could take a cue. Godspeed Chief.

Chochinitos: Galletas de Piloncillo y Canela
Makes 30 medium sized cookies (with a 4-inch cookie cutter)
12 oz piloncillo, chopped or grated, or substitute for 1 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
3/4 cup water
1 true or ceylon cinnamon stick, about 3" long
2 sticks or 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 tbsp honey
4 1/4 cups all purpose flour, you may need a bit more
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
Butter to grease a cookie/baking sheet
2 to 3 tbsp all purpose flour, you may need a bit more or less, to roll out the dough
1 egg, lightly beaten to be used as a glaze
Confectioner's sugar to sprinkle on top, optional
In a saucepan, combine grated piloncillo or dark brown sugar with water and cinnamon. Place over medium heat, once it simmers, lower the heat to keep it at a medium-low simmer for about 15 minutes, until it thickens to a light syrup consistency. Turn off the heat and remove the cinnamon stick. You should have now about 1 1/4 cups piloncillo liquid, need not be exact! Add butter and honey into the hot liquid and stir until it dissolves.
In a mixing bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Make a hole in the center and pour in the piloncillo mixture. Mix it all together with a spatula until it is well incorporated. Combine the eggs into the dough, which will be sticky and gooey. Seriously: it will be GOOEY and that is OK.
Place plastic wrap in the bottom of a mixing bowl to have wings on the sides. With a spatula, push the dough onto the plastic wrap, wrap the dough, and refrigerate anywhere from 2 hours to a couple days.
When you are ready to make the cookies, preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Grease a couple cookie or baking sheets with butter.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and sprinkle a couple tablespoons of flour on a countertop. Rub a bit of flour on the rolling pin as well. Roll out the dough which will now be firmer, until you have about 1/4 -inch thickness. Using piggie cookie cutters (or other shapes, but then you may need to change the name!) press down on the dough, moving it a bit on the counter top, to make it easier to lift the shaped dough.
Place the piggies on the baking sheet as you shape them along. Gently brush the cookie tops with the remaining egg. Roll the leftover dough into a ball, wrap it with the plastic wrap, and place it in the freezer for at least 10 minutes before using it again, or it will be too soft and sticky. Repeat to make the remaining cookies.
Bake the cookies anywhere from 7 to 9 minutes. Remove them from the oven and place on a cooking rack. You may sprinkle confectioners' sugar on top. Keep them covered so they remain soft.
My boys love to eat them with a tall glass of milk, I like them with a hot cup of coffee.

Oh Pati!
I made these tonight and was looking forward to the piloncillo flavor. I didn't taste it as much as I would have liked. I did taste a lot of baking soda and baking powder and I double checked my measurements. The taste overall was too much baking soda and baking powder with some sweetness. Wawawa'. Sorry Pati.Elvia | October 6, 2011 10:03 PM
Hola Elvia, Thank you for your comment. I have tested and tried soooo many recipes for these cookies, and this is the one I tweaked and tweaked and like the best! But we all have different palates. So, I encourage you to make the adjustments to the recipe, try less of both, they will be less fluffy, but probably more to your liking :)Pati Jinich replied to comment from Elvia | October 7, 2011 4:36 PM
Hi Pati,
I've made these cookies several times and I think they're delicious. I'd never heard of piloncillo before your show - I found some for this recipe and it gives them an interesting mild molasses-y flavor. Love your show- I'm making the tomatillo lime jam this weekend.
After watching your show, I am looking forward to making these yummy sounding cookies. Where did you get the incredibly cute piggy cookie cutters in three different sizes please?Tanina Linden | July 8, 2012 1:56 PM
Hola Tanina, I got the piggy cookie cutters a long time ago in Mexico. But they sell copper, hand made cookie cutters just like them online and in all different sizes too. I hope this helps!Pati Jinich replied to comment from Tanina Linden | July 12, 2012 2:36 PM
Hello Pati,
I made these today New Year's 2013, and they were fantastic!!!! My family loved them. I followed your recipe exactly on measurements. I will add, that I simmered the piloncillo and cinnamon stick nice and slow, until I smelled the aroma of the cinnamon. Although the cookies were gingermen shaped, the flavor was still outstanding.
Thank you so much for the great recipe.

Chicago mayor takes jabs at Texas governor
Governor: Perry's trip 'publicity stunt'
CHICAGO - Texas Gov. Rick Perry isn't exactly getting a warm welcome from some of the top elected officials in Illinois.
Perry is trying to lure Illinois businesses to Texas by meeting with companies. The Republican former presidential candidate is also scheduled to speak Tuesday at a bioscience convention.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel took jabs at Perry Monday. He brought up one of Perry's most well-known presidential campaigns gaffes. Emanuel said that at a debate Perry forgot one of the three federal agencies he'd promised to eliminate.
The Democrat also mentioned the historic drought in Texas, saying Chicagoans don't have to measure rain showers like Texans do.
Gov. Pat Quinn's office has dismissed Perry's trip as a publicity stunt. Top state GOP officials have said the purpose of the trip is counterproductive.

FARMINGTON, Conn. - Maren Matthias (Guilford, Conn.), a junior center on the University of New Hampshire women's basketball team was named to the 2002-03 America East All-Conference First Team, while senior Aubrey Danen (Oconomowoc, Wis.) was an America East Third Team selection. The announcement was made at the conference's annual awards banquet held at the Farmington Marriott Wednesday evening.
Matthias is currently enjoying one of the finest seasons in Wildcat basketball history. A two-time America East Player of the Week selection, Matthias leads the team in scoring (17.0 ppg), rebounding (9.6 rpg), blocked shots (42) and field goal percentage (.548), with her efforts in all four categories ranking among the top-10 single-season marks in UNH history. Her numbers in all four categories also place her among the conference leaders, as she is ranked first in blocks, second in rebounding, third in field goal percentage and fourth in scoring.
Matthias has recorded a school-record 13 double-doubles on the season and has reached double figures in 24 of 27 games while registering at least 20 points on eight separate occasions. She needs just nine points to reach the 1,000-point plateau.
An America East Second Team selection last season, Matthias is the seventh player in UNH history to be an America East First Team selection and the fourth to claim the honor as a junior. Kris Kinney (1988), Sheila Danker (1996) and Orsi Farkas (1999) are the other juniors in Wildcat history to be first team selections. The other former UNH players that were first team all-conference honorees are Kelly Butterfield (1985), Kendall Daly (1993) and Karen Pinkos (1988).
Danen is a member of the Third Team for the second-straight season. She ranks second on the Wildcats in rebounding (6.4) and fourth in scoring (9.6) while recording five double-doubles. Earlier this season Danen, who served as a tri-captain for the second year in a row, became the 11th player in school history to record 1,000 points and just the sixth to register 1,000 points and 600 rebounds. She currently ranks seventh in UNH history in scoring (1,084) and sixth in rebounding (661). Danen was a member of the conference's All-Rookie Team in the 1998-99 season.
UNH (12-15, 7-9 America East) returns to action Thursday when it faces fifth-seeded Stony Brook in the quarterfinals of the America East tournament hosted by the University of Hartford. Game time is set for 8:30 pm.

"I went to the High School of Music & Art in Harlem in 1980, and saw in the lunch-room Dana Dane and Slick Rick, with their original crew, the Kangol Crew, as well as Jay Kool, from the Fresh 3 MC's, and that was that," Serch reflects, before adding, "I knew (then) I wanted to be an emcee and rock parties. When I left high school, Slick Rick and Dana Dane both had put out records, and while I was (still) in school, Jay Kool, from the Fresh 3 MC's, (also) had a joint out. I knew then I wanted to be an emcee. My influence was the first ripple in what would become Hip-Hop culture — I am so lucky to have seen that."
Young Michael grew up listening to virtually every song that came out that was considered Hip-Hop. He further cites the Talking Heads [because as he puts it, "They were so funky!!"] and, then, Kiss FM deejays, (Kool DJ) Red Alert and Chuck Chillout, as major musical influences as well.
"I met Pete through mutual friends of ours; Dante Ross and Sam Sever," Serch says, recalling how fate brought the two exceptionally skilled melanin deficient rappers together. "Dante called Sam to help out Pete who was in the studio working on a demo. Sam thought we would be a great team, and he turned out to be right. We met and wrote 'Wordz of Wizdom.' and decided to pursue a career as a group."
3rd Bass, comprised of emcees MC Serch and Prime Minister Pete Nice, along with producer ingenue', Prince Paul, and, later, DJ Daddy Rich, dropped their critically acclaimed Def Jam Records' debut in 1989. "We came up with the name out of desperation," Serch answers, when asked how the monicker 3rd Bass came to fruition. Expounding, "Originally we were called 3 The Hard Way, but Universal Pictures, who owned the rights to the name, would not let us use it, and the album was slated to come out in a few months. Pete came up with the name (3rd Bass), and we recorded the conversation with Russell (Simmons, then CEO of Def Jam) when we told him the name — That is the intro to 'The Gas Face' on the album, when the name was agreed to and used."
Following the release of the group's sophomore project, Derelicts Of Dialect, 3rd Bass quietly disbanded. Both MC Serch and Pete Nice eventually went on to make a solo album apiece, before disappearing altogether. "We made Hip-Hop music for those who wanted to be funky and intelligent," Serch reminisces, while trying to put his finger on the pulse of the group's overall vibe.
Although Serch went on to discover one of the premier lyricists in the biz, then known as, Nasty Nas, he has continued to remain a very focused and humble individual. "I have been lucky to have forged great relationships in the business, and that has been key. I hope that I have integrity when it comes to my work ethic. I know that Serchlite stands for quality in Hip- Hop; be it marketing, promotion, and our website," he mentions very assuredly.
On a long standing rumor of a, possible, 3rd Bass reunion album, Serch clears the air, "In 2000, when I had my Serchlite distribution deal with Sony, Pete and I recorded some songs that we were going to put out. We had a name for the album, and some great concepts for records." Sighing, "It turns out that Pete is in another place in his life, and can not commit to recording. We will be putting out those songs (though) on www.serchlitemusic.com for the fans to hear, but when you take as much time off as we have, you cannot go into an effort for an album without the proper concentration. The songs were there, as you will soon hear, but the time was not."
{Pete Nice, ne' Peter J. Nash, is an author, and baseball historian, who relocated to Cooperstown, N.Y. (home of the Hall of Fame) in 1997. His third book, Henry Chadwick: Father of Baseball is due out soon, and he's currently working to complete a documentary, Royal Rooters, about the early history of Boston Red Sox's loyal fans}
"We are two totally different people, but when you hear the songs that we did, you can see that the elements of what made us who we were are still there," Serch believes, when the subject of the new material comes up again. Re-iterating, "The lyrics are very forward thinking, and no matter when you hear them, most people will heart the songs we did in 2000 — They sound timeless. That was what it was for us. 3rd Bass put out music that could not be defined by a moment. Most people we speak to still listen to the old albums like we put them out this year."
MC Serch, who had a small role in Spike Lee's Bamboozled, hasn't altogether ruled out the Silver Screen either. "I have acted in one film, and would enjoy that (again). I (also) really want to be in the publishing business. I see a lot of growth in that sector — Books and such."
"I am a father first, a husband second, (a) Jew third, and (an) emcee fourth," Serch prioritizes. "I tell my wife that is what I want on my tombstone when they unveil it. Michael 'MC Serch' Berrin. Father, Husband, Jew, and MC."
In closing, MC Serch, who thoroughly enjoys playing with his kids, and hanging out with his wife, Chantel [This year the couple will celebrate 15 years of marriage], had this to relay, "Hip-Hop has allowed me a lifestyle. (The fact) that I can live off of Hip-Hop is a constant moment (for me)." Predicting, he concludes, "I see Serchlite being one of the most recognized brands in Hip-Hop/Urban Culture. I see many different lines that are broad, and varied, coming from Serchlite. I see a major media outlet buying my company for a lot of money, and me, and my partner, CC (Smooth), going off and doing something else. (Also) please remember to say what you mean, and mean what you say, if someone says to you, 'Have a good day.' Respond, 'You have a better one,' and remember that if you don't have an agenda in your life, someone will give you one, and it might not be nice, so always have a plan — R.I.P. Jay Dilla, Proof, and Scott La Rock."

Germantown - A 33-year-old Germantown man was charged last week in Washington County Circuit Court with four felony counts of possessing improvised explosives after a slew of explosive devices were removed from a residence in the W14200 block of County Line Road.
Bodie Witzlib, 33, was arrested after more than 1,000 explosive devices were found in a Germantown home last week, prompting the Germantown Police Department to call in the National Guard and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. There were enough explosives to level the home killing anyone inside, with the potential to damage surrounding homes and traffic on the street, said Germantown Police Chief Peter Hoell.
Police were alerted to the explosives on April 30. They evacuated of homes in a one block radius and stopped traffic from coming onto the street.
The National Guard was called to the scene to test powders and residue and identify substances used to make the explosives by using a mobile lab and support team that can test the substances on site.
"The fact that he's creating these explosives with different chemicals in his basement means that not only do we have explosives and bombs but we also have residue and material that is lying around that needs to be tested so that's when we call into play the National Guard," Hoell said.
Once the explosives were identified and the situation was controlled, residents were allowed back into their homes. On May 1, members of the Milwaukee County bomb squad, Wisconsin National Guard and federal authorities removed more than 1,000 devices of various sizes, according to the criminal complaint. They were detonated in an empty gravel lot in Germantown, Hoell said.
Additional explosive powder, cardboard tubing and fuses also were removed from the residence's basement and a shed on the property. According to the complaint, Witzlib was making M-80s and he said he started a company called "G.I. Fireworks." He said he was in the process of obtaining a license to do so and was hoping to make $5 for each M-80, according to the complaint.
"Some people call these fireworks, these aren't. These are sticks of dynamite to varying degrees of length," Hoell said.
Witzlib faces fines of up to $10,000 and up to six years in prison for each count.

Fresh fish, fresh avocado, reasonable prices. My favorite in the city.

I get dinner from Soho Sushi once a week on average. The fish is always fresh and the service is always attentive. I've also had a bunch of their kitchen appetizers, all of which were good. I recommend the yakko tofu, oshinko, mango/salmon/cucumber roll, and any of their platters. Their prices are also really reasonable. A great local spot for fresh raw fish amidst a sea of crappy wannabe-Japanese restaurants.

This place is amazing. Small, but perfectly good atmosphere when not packed with loud students. The food and presentation are great, and the value is unbeatable. Friendly service, too. I love this place
Posted by wm on 12/03/2009
Cute little place; confess I haven't dined there yet. But several delivery orders were first rate: i.e. fresh, and very good. Courteous phone & delivery. "Rolls in Mix" combinations are fine; price is right!

Reunion as Steve McClaren returns with Paul Simpson and Eric Steele
Posted: October 02, 2013|
IT will be a Rams old boys' reunion as the new management team moves into place at Derby County.
Less than 48 hours after the surprise sacking of Nigel Clough, Steve McClaren was installed as his successor.
The ex-England manager and former Rams player and first team coach, who went on to become assistant manager at Manchester United and manage Middlesbrough, Dutch club Twente, Germany's VfL Wolfsburg and Nottingham Forest, now has a two-and-a-half-year deal as head coach at Pride Park.
He will be aided by two other former Derby players – Paul Simpson as first-team coach and Eric Steele as goalkeeping coach.

Clough last night issued "a huge heartfelt thank-you to the fans for all their support since January 2009".
And he said: "It has been a pleasure and a privilege to work with the staff and players. We wish them all every success in the future."
