Well, maybe it's not a problem. Robin Thicke was in Vegas for New Year's with his girlfriend, April Love Geary. She's 19. They had dinner together. Then he went to the club and she…went back to their suite? You have to 21 to get in to the bars. So Robin was alone at midnight. Full Story
Aaron Sorkin on the gender "degree of difficulty"
The alarm went off this morning. I dropped my eyes. I picked up my phone. There was a text from Duana: "Can we just have a weekly column called f-ck off Aaron Sorkin?!?" Then I opened my browser. And there it was. Aaron Sorkin's latest f-ck off moment, this time comparing male and female award-winning roles and declaring that it's a higher "degree of difficulty" for the men. Full Story
Marky Mark wants to lead not follow
Wenn, FameFlynet
Check out Mark Wahlberg and his congenial wife, Rhea Durham, at the premiere of The Gambler last night. As you know, Mark's been in the news lately because he's requested a pardon for beating people up when he was 16. At the time he spat out some racial slurs to go along with his punches. Full Story

Art is party
Art Basel Miami opens tomorrow. It's supposed to be about art. Sure. That's why Leonardo DiCaprio is there. For the art. That's why we always see pictures of celebrities there, this time of year, getting sh-tfaced and wearing terrible t-shirts. I'm talking to you, Puff Daddy Diddy. Full Story
Models are like cupcakes at Leo's 40th
Pacific Coast News
Leonardo DiCaprio turned 40 this week. Of course there was a party. It happened in LA on Tuesday night at Soho House. A lot of his famous "bros" were there.

Adam Levine and "douchebags"
We are almost there. We are almost at the end of Adam Levine's reign as the Sexiest Man Alive, one of the weakest of all time.

Drama anywhere, any time
O'Neill/ Todd G/ PacificCoastNews
This is why I keep comparing Justin Bieber to Lindsay Lohan. Because it's ALWAYS something. It's always chaos. There's always drama. And it's never their fault. JB went home to Stratford, ON for Labour Day long weekend. He had Selena Gomez with him. They spent time with the family. Full Story
How come JT isn't being ruled out?
I don't like the NFL much these days. A two game suspension for Ray Rice – that's it? TWO GAMES? If you don't know what I'm talking about, google Ray Rice (after you've finished reading my post!) and tell me what you think of a two game suspension for what he did. Full Story
This is what missing your wife looks like
Headlinephoto/ Splash
Here are some shots of Robin Thicke leaving his NYC hotel yesterday. God he's a scuzzy looking f-ck, non? Actually, no, that's not true. He desperately misses his wife. That's what you're seeing. It's not skeeze, it's sensitivity. By the way, here's how the photo agency captioned these shots: Robin Thicke leaves his NYC hotel with a big smile after 3 beautiful girls leave his hotel and go into another car, one Robin normally uses when he is in NYC.

According to this page[owareusa.com], there's a prototype in the works... Maybe something to compete with the SpinnShelter? Or is that too obvious?-Mark
Edited by mlarson on 03/11/2006 10:29:18 MST.
nice find...
If I had to guess, maybe an Alphamid-type shelter made out of "nano" fabric???Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to seeing one. :-)-Mike
An Alphamid of ~X~ lighter fabric would be my guess too. Dr Jordan seems to be using these a lot this winter. However I'm not sold on the way the door creates a vertical/flat side when closed up -- kind of like a sail. I'd prefer something more like a 'mini-mid' (pyramid shaped, a la Megamid, but 1+ person). But yeah, I'll be watching this one too.
I'm really looking forward to see how this turns out. I have been tempted by the Spinnshelter for winter use.
And the winner is... a much lighter Alphamid-type clone. Pretty cool. There's a photo on Ryan's blog.-Mark
He's still using a bivy with it tho'. Just wondering... is that necessary? I've stuck with the SpinnShelter all along because I don't feel the need to use a bivy with it... and a SpinnShelter minus bivy is still lighter (about about the same) as a tarp plus bivy. What I'd LOVE to see is the SpinnShelter made from this new nano fabric.
I want one!!!!!!!Finaly a really Ultralight pyramid shelter.Where can I get one?
I agree with David...I would want this type of shelter because then I wouldn't need the bivy to. It will be interesting to see if this will be comfortable without the bivy.
What is that translucent bag/sack by the right side of the entrance? It looks a too large to be a stuff sack. It looks a lot like Bills Cuben G6 clone.
Edited by procab on 03/16/2006 09:19:32 MST.
I'm not sure what it is but if you look closely there is two of them. One is at the head of the sleeping bag.
Why use a bivy in a shelter like the one pictured? Possible reasons include:1. want to pitch it up a bit for ventilation and to minimize condensation. it's raining or rain is expected during the night, plus it's windy and don't want any wind driven spray/rain to soak a down sleeping bag.2. have the shelter sealed up pretty tight under conditions that will likely form sufficient condensation on the underside of the single wall tarptent. don't want this dripping onto, or otherwise coming into contact with the bag should one move about or sit up. perhaps there may not be much opportunity to dry the bag in the sun during the coming few days of the trek of the additional moisture accumulated from #'s 1 and 2 above?just a thought. what am i missing either by omission, or by way of mistake in my reasons?
I suspect Paul's right on. The shelter footprint is pretty small and when pitched with an air gap at ground level (typical) rain spray and spindrift will certainly come inside (although much less than with a very small tarp). There will also be splash from dripping water. (Since bigger teepee shelters allow sleeping farther from the walls, less moisture will directly strike the bag.)Also, a bivy will increase any sleeping system's warmth and I'll guess it was included for that reason as well. Ryan's always skating on the thin ice with his gear, and it looks pretty cold there :-)
ditto, need for a bivy for reasons stated. unless that shelter has some sort of peak vent, the apex of the Pyramid looks like it could be quite the condensation trap.
Remember too that with all the advantages stated for that bivy it only weighs 3.5 oz. A light groundcloth like a GG polycro weighs 1.5 oz so that extra 2.0 oz is very useful.Dan
I have been looking for a good design for a one man tent for winter use. Several years ago I made one but it was before Cuben and it weighed more than I wanted to carry. The new and coming soon maybe 7.5oz version of the Oware Alphamid looks like it might be a good design to try. Last year, I think, Ryan and crew did a winter ski/hike and he used an Alphamid Tarp. I went to the Oware web site to check the size they come in to see what size the Alphamid Nano might be. The Oware product comes in a small at 4.5'x9'x 5.5' and one a little larger. I am sure Ryan would not go for the bigger model so I will guess the Alp..Nano might be the smaller size. I made a scale paper model to check the size and do a few "what-if's" for 4 different sizes. I wanted to see if a smaller size could be made in the 7.5oz range without Cuben/Nano fabric. I have decided I don't think so.1. I first worked up the sq yards of the small size Oware Al.. (4.5'x9'x5.5') and got 10 sq yards plus or minus a little. [NOTE: I did not add any material for seams etc on any of the calculations.] 2. I worked up the sq yards for 4'x8'x5.5' and got 8.9 sq yards.3. I worked up the sq yards for 4'x7'x5.5 and got 8.15sq yards.4. I worked up the sq yards for 3.4'x7'x5.5' and got 7.78 sq yards.My guess is that the Alphamid Nano is made out of something in the .50oz per sq yard range. Cuben - Nano what ever. The common weight of easy to get Cuben is in the 0.35 to 0.44 or so weight range. If you do the math it would seem that the 7.5oz weight number could be a little lower. It looks like it has a long zipper on the door part and that might add some of the extra weight. The Cuben at .35 oz a sq yard and making the smallest size I worked up would take less than 3oz of fabric and the largest size of 4.5'x9'x5.5' would take 3.5oz of Cuben Fiber. So the good news is we may see a new and very light weight 3.5 to 4 season Alphamid Nano Tarp at 7.5oz. The bad news is that 9 or 10 yards of Cuben/Nano fiber to make it that light will also cause it to cost ??? a bunch.
Edited by bfornshell on 03/19/2006 00:40:12 MST.
Personally, I just don't think I could sleep inside a bivy. I'm aware of all the benefits... but I think I'll stick with SpinnShelter alone for now. Plus that Nano bivy costs a small fortune anyway!!!!!!! Ouch!
Can a MYOG person do this without Cuben Material and stay at or very near the 7.5oz weight, cheap, maybe.This morning I did another "what-if" and downsized the Alphamid Nano Tarp some more. I did the math for a smaller size. This one would be 3' wide by 7' across the front and back. It would also drop from 5.5' high to 5' high. The sq yards necessary for this size is (+/-) 6.18 sq yards. If I person could find some "true" 1oz or less weight waterproof spinnaker material a lot cheaper than say Cuben or other true 1oz stuff like SpinnTex that all cost in the $17 a yard range, you could still be at or under the 7.5oz mark of the Al..Nano Tarp BMW mentioned. You do have to be willing to go with a smaller footprint for this size.I also took a look at the Stealth 1 NANO 7'x9' tarp. It is $170 and has about 7 yards of fabric in it. This comes out to about $24 a sq yard and change. I have no reason to think this number means anything but those numbers would make an Alphamid NANO tarp at 6 to 10 sq yards cost $24 to $30 times the sq yards of the Alphmid or a total possible cost in the $160 to $240 range. I have spent more than $24 an ounce to save an ounce before. I am going to dig out all my "never used" so called 0.50 spinnaker material and re-weigh it. If any of it is near a true 1oz per sq yard I might try a smaller Alphmid Tarp out of some. If not then I add another project to my Cuben list.
Bill,The pole length is 4.5' and the length of the tarp is just over 7'. These dimensions were scaled using the height of the Ti windscreen as my baseline. Ryan wouldn't cut down the windscreen to save a gram, would he?Additionally I'm convinced this tarp doesn't have a rectangular footprint like the alphamid.FWIW,Robert
Hi Robert, Lets play "Design an Alphamid Tarp. Goals/Desires?1. Big enough but no bigger than necessary.2. Very light, 7.5 ounce range, or less which should be light enough to get the attention of all us gram counters.3. Cost not a big problem but if a material that is cheaper than Cuben can be used go for it.What do we think we know about the Alphamid Nano Tarp:4. Made by Oware and modeled after their small Alphamid Tarp.5. Oware's small size is 4.5' x 9' x 5.5'.6. Alphamid Nano Tarp color seems to be gray to transparent. Cuben/Nano material is transparent and the gray looking color could be from the background.7. Size based on Roberts windscreen baseline idea seems to be just over 7' long and 4.5' high. Robert believes the tarp is not rectangular. I think the tarp is rectangular but maybe staked out in a way to distort the shape for a bit more room or to lift the edges to help vent the tarp when the front is closed.Going with another size (3' x 7' and 4.5' high) I come up with about 5.63 sq yards of material to make the Alphamid Tarp. Again this does not add material for seams etc and someone can re-check my math. A 3' x 7' footprint is big enough for me and is the same size as the small winter tent I made a few years ago. My tent was 5' high but 4' would have been high enough to sit-up in. Using Cuben fiber and making the tarp this smaller size, 5.63 sq yards, and using the 0.35 to 0.44 oz a sq yard product, the finished weight could be in the (sit down) 3oz range (+/-) 0.5oz. The Cuben material at about $17 a yard would come out to $102 plus change. Add to this guy lines, stakes etc. My next thought is I wonder how one of these would work on an AT Thru-Hike. It sure would be light and also be more private than a regular tarp.Even made out of some of the very cheap spinnaker material available this size might still weigh less than 7.5oz.

Mets Owners Sell Team Shares Following $162M Settlement With Madoff Victims' Trustee
Mets owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz last week sold 12 minority stakes in the troubled franchise worth $240 million, using the proceeds to pay off Major League Baseball and reduce the team's crippling debt, The Post has learned. With the moves, the team now has breathing room with its lenders and — combined with yesterday's Picard settlement — appears to have saved the franchise. Read More: NY1
Mets owners could actually make money in Madoff settlement
It's the biggest win for the Mets since 1986 — but a huge letdown for the fans. The team's stingy owners will remain at the helm after striking a sweetheart settlement with the lawyer tasked with recouping billions from Bernie Madoff's Ponzi scheme — and the deal actually casts them as victims of the fraud. The deal heads off a risky jury trial, where a loss could have cost owners Fred Wilpon and Saul Katz up to $383 million and control of the franchise. Read More: New York Post
Rangers edge Devils, clinch playoff spot in East
Brandon Dubinsky scored shortly after a fight-filled opening faceoff, and the Rangers became the first Eastern Conference team to earn a playoff spot by beating the New Jersey Devils 4-2 on Monday night. Three fights broke out at the outset and that seemed to jump-start the Rangers, who had lost two straight and five of seven as their once commanding lead in the East dwindled to almost nothing.

Government may make it easier for airlines to allow passengers to use personal electronic devices during takeoffs and landings
The government is taking a tentative step toward making it easier for airlines to allow passengers to use personal electronic devices such as tablets, e-readers and music players during takeoffs and landings. The Federal Aviation Administration said Monday it is "exploring ways to bring together all of the key stakeholders involved" – including airlines, aircraft manufacturers, consumer electronics makers, and flight attendant unions – to discuss whether there are practical ways to test devices to see if they are safe for passengers to use during critical phases of flight.

Peyton Manning finalizing contract with Broncos
All that's needed is Peyton Manning's autograph.

It could also send one of the NFL's most intriguing young players packing. So much for Tebowmania. Manning called Elway on Monday morning and told the Broncos executive that he had chosen Denver over the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers in the wildest free-agent chase of the offseason.

NORTH KINGSTOWN — The streak is still alive.
After playing five drama-free contests that were decided by nine or more runs, unbeaten Lincoln encountered its toughest test in nearly a month when the Lions trekked down to Ryan Park for a Monday night showdown with second-place North Kingstown.
And while the Lions were able to come away with a 3-2 win, it was far from easy, and it took eight innings and some daring baserunning from Casie Beauchemin to produce the game-winning run.
In the eighth, the international tiebreaker rule came into play, meaning that each squad was going to start their half of the inning with a runner on second base.
Beauchemin, who made the last out of the seventh for the Lions, was the runner on base, and she went to third when Adriana Toro dropped a bunt along the third-base line that appeared to be rolling foul, but was picked up by third baseman Devin Neary, who was unable to deliver a strong enough throw to get the speedy Toro out at first.
That brought Lindsay Mayer to the plate, and on N.K. pitcher Taylor Butler's first pitch to her, Toro took off for second.
N.K. catcher Heather Jackson threw the ball to second, but the throw was cut off between the mound and second base by second baseman Liz Finelli, who saw Beauchemin leading far off third and quickly fired the ball to third.
Beauchemin, who would have been picked off if she went back to the bag, broke for the plate, and she beat Neary's throw to Jackson on a close play with a nice hook slide.
The Lions nearly scored another run two pitches later when Mayer surprised everyone with a bunt directly in front of the plate, but Jackson scooped up the ball and tagged out Toro, who bravely tried to score on it.
Nevertheless, Beauchemin's run was more than enough support for the Lions and Mayer, who scattered seven hits, struck out 10 batters (including the side in the first two innings), and walked two batters in her mound outing.
"It was just a great game," head coach Dick Ryan said after the victory. "That was the best team we've faced all year, and I've got to give my kids a lot of credit. Lindsay proved why she's the best pitcher in the state. This is just a fantastic win for our program. North Kingstown is an outstanding team."
The Lions, who are now 10-0 in the league and have now won 32 straight games dating back to last year's undefeated championship season, scored their first two runs in the top of the second on a two-run double by Lauren Hervieux.
Butler, who ended up with a six-hitter that included six strikeouts and four walks, dished out free passes to the first two batters she faced, Emily Bouthillette and Stacey Mayer, and one out later, Hervieux hammered a 1-1 pitch into the gap in left-center.
The Skippers, who fell to 10-2 and were coming off their first loss of the season, a 2-0 defeat to East Providence last Friday, scored their first run in the third on a squeeze bunt by Finelli that knocked in Jackson, who led off with a walk and sped to third on an infield throwing error.
N.K. nearly plated another run later in the inning when Neary tried to score Butler from second with a two-out single to center, but Toro, the Lions' center fielder, threw a bullet to the plate to nab Butler for the final out.
In the sixth, the Skippers tied the game on a sacrifice fly to center by Amy Augenstein that scored Rachel Kantor, who lofted a triple to the fence in right-center after striking out in her first two at-bats.

Despite the fact that SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) legislation has not come into force, it is still under debate. The main aim of this bill is rather clear. However the means turned out to be the reason for serious doubts regarding the effectiveness of this law. Here we are going to have a closer look at it. It will help to decide whether it could harm the howl online network of the United States.
The main idea is the fact that SOPA is able to react on internet as well as its backdoors and thorny copyright issues. At the same time this bill has also come into violation with already existing Digital Millennium Copyright Act. This bill was established in 1998 and it has determined future development of internet industry. Those who support Stop Online Piracy act are still sure, that this bill is mainly aimed on protecting corporations and citizens of the United States from all kinds of rouge websites from other countries. At the same time their opponents say that this law is nothing more but a wholesale total censorship with a small piece of regulation. In other words it will be able to regulate foreign users' behavior.
Needless to say that internet piracy has turned out to be a great problem for the whole world. We need permanent solution to this problem. However SOPA has a number of points that will certainly affect not only internet industry and websites, but also retail and entertainment industries. Moreover this bill could lead to creation of online monopolies. This is due to the fact that according to legislation this bill will be able to delete websites or any kind of information that they contain. This act was mostly aimed on affecting payment resources in addition to advertising networks. The only thing that is clear for now. SOPA can have a great effect on further internet development. Meanwhile it has no place for current situation in this field.

- 2013 Digital Filmmaking Studio Lab Season Finale with Dylan McDermott
2013 Digital Filmmaking Studio Lab Season Finale with Dylan McDermott
Actor Dylan McDermott Provides Grand Finale to Ringling College Digital Filmmaking Studio Lab 2013 Season
April 25, 2013 - Actor Dylan McDermott was the featured final guest for the 2013 Digital Filmmaking Studio Lab season, which included fellow actors Sam Rockwell, Andie MacDowell, and Aubrey Plaza. The Studio Lab was founded in 2010 as a collaborative project in association with Future of Films, LLC, and is sponsored by PNC Wealth Management and Sarasota Magazine.
During his April 18-19 trip to Sarasota and Ringling College, Dylan was taken on a behind-the-scenes tour of campus, visiting both freshman traditional animation and senior computer animation classrooms, and the Digital Filmmaking department. The actor's main attraction was an evening Q&A session attended by College supporters, students, faculty, and staff, which was hosted by WWSB ABC-7 Anchor Haley Wielgus. Dylan also welcomed supporters and sponsors at a private reception and luncheon, and joined a senior Digital Filmmaking class to critique a senior thesis project.
His advice to aspiring filmmakers? "Learn to write … and write well," he emphasized. "The people who have the power (in filmmaking) are the people with the pen," he said. For McDermott, a good script is fundamental to bringing life to a concept. "If its not on the page, it's not on the stage," he explained.
Dylan will debut his first solo photography exhibition on May 10 at Avenue Art Gallery in Montreal, Canada.

MASSENA - An Ogdensburg man was resentenced to serve 45 days in the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility after he admitted he had failed to report to his probation officer as directed.
Massena-based state police picked up Patrick J. Kennedy, 31, of 411 Main St., Ogdensburg, for the violation of probation on Aug. 1. He had been arraigned on the probation violation warrant by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $5,000 cash or $10,000 bond that day and has remained in custody.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson met briefly in chambers with St. Lawrence County Assistant District Attorney Andrew T. Botts and defense attorney Brian Pilatzke to discuss the potential sentence prior to Kennedy admitted he had violated the terms of his probationary sentence.
Kennedy had been sentenced to three years on probation in October 2010 following his conviction on a second-degree criminal contempt count in Massena Village Court. He allegedly violated the terms of his probationary sentence when Ogdensburg City Police charged him with felony counts aggravated driving while intoxicated under Leandras Law for allegedly driving drunk with a passenger of 16 years of age and first-degree aggravated unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle as well as vehicle and traffic law infractions on June 2. The probation department memorandum also pointed out a second violation of probation allegation had been pending in Massena Village Court since January 2012.
That violation alleged Kennedy had failed to report to his probation officer as directed and had been discharged from several different treatment programs since being placed under probation supervision.
The report said Kennedy told probation officers he couldnt report in person because he had had MERSA since August 2011, but they said he failed to provide the probation department with any correspondence from medical professionals supporting that diagnosis.
In other recent court action before Judge Gustafson:
■ Austin B. Villnave, 18, of 144 South Raquette River Road, Massena, was released from custody on a disorderly conduct charge pending in Massena Village Court, but he didnt earn his freedom. Sheriffs deputies told the court Villnave was still held on bail from a charge pending in Norfolk Town Court.
Villnave, who has a number of violations pending in village court, had been charged with disorderly conduct at 1:38 p.m. July 20. Police and Massena Rescue responded to the Walmart tire center for a 13-year-old male who had suffered a two-inch laceration to his arm while getting out of the vehicle. Villnave, the juveniles brother, started screaming at police officers that were on scene. Police said they charged Vilnave with disorderly conduct after he failed to comply with five requests to stop shouting obscenities in the stores tire center.
Mr. Gustafson told Villnave he was willing to reconsider the $250 bail he was being held on for the disorderly conduct violation pending in village court. You have a number of charges but my problem is none of the them is the most serious. If I release you from custody, can I anticipate you will make your scheduled court appearances? he asked.
Villnave assured the court that was the case. I dont want to go back to jail. It sucks, he told the judge.
Village police picked up Villnave on a bench warrant on Aug. 6 for allegedly violating the conditions of his release under the supervision of the probation department on second-degree assault and trespass counts pending in Norfolk Town Court. The warrant had been signed June 25 by Norfolk Town Justice Donald G. Lustyik.
Probation Department officials, in a uniform court report dated that same day, said Villnave had been charged with a new offense and violated other conditions of his release.
Villnave had reportedly been charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief on June 25 for smashing exit signs in the Canton-Potsdam Hospital Rehabilitation Unit and was discharged from the rehab unit. Probation officials also informed the court Villnave had explicitly expressed his desire to disobey the court and court imposed conditions.
Villnave was arraigned on the warrant by Massena Town Justice Gerald P. Sharlow and sent to the St. Lawrence County Correctional Facility with bail set at $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond. He has been in custody since that time.
Villnave was charged Nov. 12, 2011 with assault with intent to cause serious physical injury, a felony, after a fight in which he was accused of hitting the victim several times, knocking out his front teeth and breaking his nose.
Judge Sharlow also arraigned Villnave on Aug. 6 on the bench warrant from Massena Village Court alleging the Massena teenager had failed to appear as directed on a disorderly conduct count. The warrant had been signed by Massena Village Justice Gustafson on May 31. Judge Sharlow set bail at $250 cash or $500 bond on the warrant from village court.
■ Allen Blount, 24, of 1 Pine St., Norwood, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal, but he was sent back to the county jail, where he is being held on a parole hold. Blount had parole will be sending him to a rehabilitation program.
Blount had been charged with unlawful possession of marijuana June 11 when officers from the Division of Parole and Community Supervision were attempting to execute a parole warrant for Lacey Yekel at 54 Perkins Road. They didnt find Yekel, but they said they detected a strong marijuana odor was coming from her 54 Perkins Road residence and located Blount there. He reportedly had 1 gram of marijuana wrapped in a small plastic baggie in his pocket.
■ William J. Davis, 34, of 33 Douglas Road, Massena, was ordered to pay a $125 surcharge and was placed under a one-year conditional discharge for a disorderly conduct conviction stemming from an incident where he was using abusive and obscene language in front of children, rejected several requests to stop that behavior and then walked toward police and offered them some less than pleasant advice about an anatomically impossible act.

The passing of "Glee" star Cory Monteith left a giant hole in a cast of superstars -- a cast who can sing just as well as they can act on the hit FOX show.
The 31-year-old made a memorable first impression when he made his singing debut performing REO Speedwagon's "I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore" in the shower in the pilot.
And from then, his duets with on and off-screen love interest Lea Michele continued to impress anyone who watched on a weekly basis.
In an tragic turn of events, the last song he was seen performing on the show would also be one Cory sang during the first episode -- a song that would become the show's most popular cover, Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."
Watch our favorite performances from Cory Monteith below. Which one was yours? Please sound off below.
"I Can't Fight This Feeling Anymore," REO Speedwagon
"Don't Stop Believing," Journey

So this weekend I will be working on a video for the 48hr Film Festival so this was my final day on the island. As if it was not hard enough to say goodbye, the weather and everything about today was absolutely gorgeous.
First of all, last night was cool enough after the storms that I actually used a sheet to cover up with! Can you believe it? I woke up this morning feeling well rested, comfortable, and peaceful.
While Mike came to help with tours for a bit, I did some early blogging and hung out with the security guards. I sure will miss hanging out with them in the Visitors Pavilion. As I was about to leave the pavilion after blogging, a family came to visit for a third time this summer. They said they got a tour with Mike but they had to see me before the project ends. I loved seeing them again and hearing that the girl still wears her glasses she got in a trade. Moments like that make the project satisfying.
Later today, my friend Mari came to visit and we rowed around the whole lake picking up messages. After that we walked around the gardens and watched the butterflies suck nectar out of flowers. It was so nice exploring the whole park in such agreeable weather.
I walked back to the island and saw my mom came from Kokomo with her friend Sharon and my friend Caitlyn. I showed them around the island and the rest of 100 Acres. I found a bra hanging in a tree…haha. We also observed the light shining through the pea pods giving us xray vision! The most awesome moment was when when we heard a rustle coming from a nearby bush and a deer ran right in front of us.
Later today after they all left I was picking up more floating messages when I heard another rustle in the bushes…I found the baby deer with the white spots looking right at me. I was so glad to see it again before leaving. Now, I am enjoying the sunset and thinking of all of the wonderful experiences I have had and all of the things I will miss.
This summer has been the best time of my life. I cannot thank all of you enough.
Thank you Andrea Zittel, IMA people, Jenny Mikulay, Greg Hull, Eric Nordgulen, Holly S, my mom Lynn, our blog readers, our visitors, and many more!
This is not the end of the project…we still have this weekend (Mike will be here). Also, we will be posting our reflections, moments, other thoughts, and thanks here for at least the next month. Keep on reading! There is still more to come!

Covering parts of South Dakota through Montana, up to Saskatchewan and Alberta in Canada, the Northern Great Plains is known for its golden wheat fields and cattle ranches. Historically, the region was rich with grasslands and shrub steppe, and home to large, spectacular herds of bison and pronghorn that grazed and shaped its vegetation. It was also prime habitat for grassland birds, which continue to enliven the Great Plains with their songs and bright colors.But after a century of habitat conversion, degradation, and fragmentation, the region's wildlife has long been declining. Today, its grassland birds have grown relatively scarce. These species need vast treeless areas, as nearly all nest on the ground, hiding their young in the sea of grass and wildflowers. As a result, they now rank among the most imperiled types of birds in the world.
By helping to restore bison on the Western Plains, WCS is also helping to conserve the region's grassland birds. As bison herds dot the Great Plains, both on private and public land, conservationists can investigate how the behavior of these wild animals—quite different from that of cattle—can help keep grasslands healthy, control invasive species, and create seasonal variety in grass height.
WCS is working on reversing grassland degradation over an area of 450,000 acres with a broad range of partners. Our activities include monitoring bird populations and bird-bison habitat associations, and developing science-based guidelines to manage grazing so that it creates more suitable wildlife habitat. We are also coordinating when, where, and how grasslands are grazed or burned to support the varied grass heights and density that birds prefer, and identifying how grassland conservation can be best incorporated into ranching livelihoods.
If the use of neonicotinoid pesticides, neonics for short, continues, in the future we won't have birds and bees to talk about. Steve Zack, WCS Coordinator of Bird Conservation, explains the dangers of the heavily used insecticide.
John Weaver, Senior Conservation Scientist with WCS-Canada, warns that the Alberta government's draft Regional Plan for the South Saskatchewan, which would establish new Wildland Parks in about a quarter of the area, will be inadequate to conserving its vulnerable fish and wildlife populations and sources of precious water that are cherished by southern Albertans.
Steve Zack, WCS's Coordinator of Bird Conservation, explains the ways in which oil and gas fracking efforts may reshape the American prairie, and the consequences for grassland birds and bison.
In his first blog celebrating bison, WCS Executive Vice President for Public Affairs John Calvelli discusses ongoing efforts to protect this iconic species. WCS has been protecting buffalo since the turn of the 20th century and is currently working with conservationists, sportsmen, Native American tribes, and lawmakers to advance the National Bison Legacy Act.
In concert with the introduction of the National Bison Legacy Act in the U.S. Senate, WCS and its partners have launched a campaign to make the American bison our national mammal.
WCS and partners will work to increase habitat in Montana, North Dakota, and Southern Saskatchewan for the Sprague's pipit, one of the most endangered grassland birds in North America.
From mighty caribou to tiny hummingbirds, by air and by land, many of the great American wildlife migrations are at risk.
A new publication by IUCN, written with WCS collaboration, reports on the current status of wild American bison, and makes recommendations on how to ensure the species is conserved for the future.

Video: Overnight Elmwood Village Fire Displaces Dozens
BUFFALO, NY - Dozens of people are without a home following a fire overnight in Buffalo's Elmwood Village neighborhood.
Firefighters were called to a mixed-use residential building on Forest Avenue at the corner of Tremont Street around 3:00 Friday morning.
When they arrived, they found heavy fire inside the building.
Crews had a hard time putting out the blaze. At one point, firefighters were called out of the building just before the roof started to collapse.
About 25 to 30 people lived inside the building. All of them made it out safely and are being assisted by the Red Cross.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

Compact Series tripod with built-in photo/movie head - black
DESCRIPTIONUsing a tripod helps improve the results you get from your camera by holding it much more steady than you can yourself, making photos sharper and allowing you to concentrate more on catching the right scene at the right moment.
By using your camera's self-timer and a tripod, you can even get into some of your pictures yourself too.
When it comes to video, a tripod is even more essential: it eliminates the distracting shakiness that hand-held video often has and it keeps the picture straight.
Overall, a tripod helps you get the best out of your compact camera, by giving you the flexibility to use camera settings (like low ISO, for example) that produce better quality images, and holding the camera still for longer exposures in low light, producing shake-free photos and video that really capture the colours and atmosphere.
The MKC3-H01 Photo-Movie Kit is a Compact Series tripod with a built-in head designed for both taking photos and shooting video. The ''grip''-style head has a Photo/Movie switch on the side; when the Photo setting is selected, the head allows you to rotate the camera between landscape and portrait positions and then lock it in place before taking a photo.
In Movie setting, the camera is locked in landscape orientation but free to rotate left-right, so you can use the grip handle to move the camera smoothly when filming subjects in motion, or to take in wide views without losing horizontal level. Compact Series tripods have quick release camera plates so you can attach and detach your camera in seconds. The plate's universal mount fits all cameras' tripod thread (the screw thread on the underside).
Compact Series tripods also have ergonomic lever leg locks, to make opening and closing the tripod fast.
The Compact Series was designed to be an ideal first tripod: easy to use; quick to attach, detach, extend and fold; ultra-portable when closed yet practical and tall when open, they're among the most compact full-size tripods available; strong and secure enough to support anything from small point-and-shoots and compact camcorders up to entry-level DSLRs with kit lenses. iPhones and other cameraphones can be supported too (check your camera has a tripod thread on the underside, or that you have a tripod thread adaptor for your phone).

AUGUSTA, Maine(NEWS CENTER) - In Augusta on Friday, the buzz was all about the budget---and whether there could be a shutdown of state government.
Governor LePage will apparently take this weekend to finish looking over the proposed two-year state budget and is expected to issue his veto Monday or Tuesday, which is the deadline for him to act. The Governor has made it clear he does not support the $178 million in tax increases in the budget passed by the Legislature.
Once a veto is issued, the Legislature will have to decide whether to override the veto and pass the budget into law. If they don't, there would be just four days left in which to pass a new budget. If lawmakers and the Governor are not able to pass a budget by the end of the month, state government will have no money to operate and would need to shut down July 1.
On Thursday, the Governor announced his own plan--- pass a temporary, sixty-day budget, similar to Congressional "continuing resolutions", to give him time to work out a deal with the Democrats.
But Attorney General Janet Mills says that would be unconstitutional. Mills told NEWS CENTER On Friday "Five different attorneys general have dealt with this issue over twenty years. They've all said, Republican and Democrat, they've all said you can't do this."
But the Governor's chief legal counsel Michael Cianchette disagrees. Cianchette says the Constitution does allow for a temporary budget. "when the legislature acts and the governor signs, the law can change," says Cianchette. "So she's correct insofar as what's currently on the books. But if the Legislature has interest in changing it can happen."
With that doubt over the legality of the budget extension idea, legislators will convene Wednesday to vote on the veto. When the budget passed last week, it barely received the needed two-thirds majority vote.
That included more than 20 Republicans in the House and 5 in the Senate. Budget supporters will need to keep nearly all those votes if they are going to override the veto. Previous legislatures have gone to the brink with budget votes, but they have always passed in time - except for 1991. That year, a battle over workers compensation costs led to a budget impasse and a three week shutdown of state government.

After more than a year of discussion, two applications and one major misunderstanding, East Carbon and Sunnyside City received funding from the Utah Permanent Community Impact Board (CIB) to develop a collection process which could add significantly to the eastern county's water supply.
At the CIB's May session, East Carbon Mayor Orlando LaFontaine, accompanied by Sunnyside Mayor Doug Parsons, gained approval for a $289,000 grant which will be used to capture and transfer water from the Grassy Trail Reservoir's number two diversion. Conditions within the grant application also allow for several critical upgrades to the East Carbon water treatment plant.
CIB officials discussed the upcoming East Carbon and Sunnyside merger vote at the meeting, stating that they would look favorably upon seeing the towns come together.
Members of the impact board have also gone on record several times, according to East Carbon officials, concerning their issues with duplicating services within the two towns. During the latest meeting, members also commented on the area's funding history with the board.
"They made sure to let me know that we had been in front of the board 17 times," said LaFontaine. "Every time for emergency grants, not loans. I can tell you one of the board members was very upset about that."
The funding body was reportedly eased by former Carbon County Commissioner and current board member Mike Milovich, who explained that both towns have been working to cope with an aged water system which was left to the area when mining operations in Whitmore Canyon closed.
The current project, which could add as much as 300,000 gallons of water a day to the city's culinary tanks, began gaining traction during the summer of 2012 when an East Carbon public hearing and council vote approved submitting an application for funding. The initial document included engineering work by Members of water agencies from all over Utah came to Price last Wednesday for sessions concerning emergency preparedness when it comes to water systems, dams and other water related infrastructure. The group of between 80-100 people met for morning sessions at the Carbon County Events Center and then took a tour of the Scofield Dam facilities in the afternoon. The session was hosted by the Carbon County Water Conservancy District.

More can be done to fight the backlog of service members disability claims with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, according to Sen. Charles E. Schumer.
The backlog is keeping our vets from getting basic care in a timely manner, and its unacceptable, Sen. Schumer said.
In a conference call Wednesday, the senator said the average wait for veterans in the state to have their claims processed is 400 days. As part of the 2014 defense spending authorization, he is promoting two bills to reduce the wait. The Senate will begin debating the bills in the next few weeks.
We dont expect delays from our soldiers when theyre shipped overseas and placed in combat, Sen. Schumer said. We shouldnt tolerate delays of such significant magnitude from the DOD and VA when our soldiers seek access to the benefits they are entitled to and they have earned.
The first bill would require the Department of Defense and VA to create a system to make their health record programs compatible within a year, and the second would mandate that the VA hire more claims processors to fight the backlog.
The north country has more than a thousand veterans with backlogged cases. According to numbers released by the senators office, Jefferson County has 583 pending claims, St. Lawrence County has 288 and Lewis County has 160. The upstate region had a total of 14,795 unprocessed claims, Sen. Schumer said.
Sen. Schumer said the current incompatibility between the two departments records systems increases the time needed for evidence gathering and decision making, and causes veterans to have to take redundant tests.
The incompatibility of the two systems is even more worrisome, the senator said, as many soldiers come back from tours overseas with injuries.
For them, the treatment plan stretches from the battlefield to inpatient or outpatient care in the United States to transition back into military duty or, for the more seriously injured, to civilian life, Sen. Schumer said. Medical information is captured during each of these phases but, without the universal medical records systems, critical pieces of information are often lost or could simply take far too long to gather.
Once we have them compatible, you can just press a button and send the records over, the senator said.
The combined system bill, the Servicemembers Electronic Health Records Act of 2013, is sponsored by Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., while the hiring effort, the Claims Processing Improvement Act of 2013, is sponsored by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
The push for the records systems change comes at the same time as several technical problems with the launch of the Affordable Care Act website.
Sen. Schumer said a comparison of the two doesnt fit.
Making two existing computer systems compatible is a lot easier than setting up a new system, he said.

I am a student at Rice University, and we have the ability to teach a class on what we find interesting. I obviously had to choose Pastafarianism. I am currently working on the syllabus and I am looking for any tips that are particularly worth talking about. This class is not about teaching Pastafarianism as a religion, but look at the reasons of its existence and the true purpose of Pastafarianism. I really need to look at the greater social context of the entire thing.
So any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
