A Bistro Set Makeover with an Unexpected SurpriseTuesday, June 8th, 2010
So as I was touring the backyard the other day, I realized there's definitely some sprucing that needs to happen, especially with guests coming on the Fourth.
As I meandered up the hill behind the grapevines, I was reminded of the thrift store bistro set I found a couple of years ago that I had every intention of refinishing but I just never got around to it. The set sits on a little gravel patio that has a great view of the vines, but it certainly been been neglected. After leaving the bistro set out all winter (so dumb), the set was, how shall I say . . . . what's the word ? . . . oh yes.
I meant there was moss growing on top of the table, the paint was chipping everywhere, and it was covered in spiderwebs. ICK. ICK. ICK.
So I decided the time had come to give it a makeover. I convinced myself I'd have a fresh new set in no time at all with just a little paint and fabric. Well, that's what I did, repainted and recovered the seats. But in the middle of my revamp, something rather unexpected happened. Something I hate to relive. But you've just got to know.
First, take a looky loo at this retro bistro set Before:
And After:
Purty, huh ?
It's just such a great set for sitting and watching the grapes grow.

TYPO3 Video Tutorials for Editors
The collection of TYPO3 video tutorials for editors is currently being extended by a new series about the recent long term support version 6.2. Eventually this new series shall replace the existing videos in the last long term support version 4.5 and the complete series which consists of 21 consecutive videos, plus an introduction, in TYPO3 version 4.2. The video series is supplemented by TYPO3 test web sites in different versions, where you can easily put into practice what you see in the videos, try other functions, or simply test TYPO3. The test web site for the new series will be added, as soon as all videos are recorded. For easy orientation, the pages and content of the test web sites are setup as similar as possible to that of the videos series:
- test web site in TYPO3 6.1
- test web site in TYPO3 6.0
- test web site in TYPO3 4.5 LTS
- test web site in TYPO3 4.2 (version of the tutorial series)
Where TYPO3 offers different ways to do things, in most cases the videos will show only one of these - the one we consider the most efficient or easiest to learn.
New Video Series (TYPO3 6.2 LTS)
The list of videos of this new series for the long term support version 6.2 will be completed as soon as possible. As soon as a new video is ready, it will appear in the playlist on YouTube!
You can watch the videos in this embedded player as well:
Videos in TYPO3 4.5 LTS
There are a couple of video tutorials for editors in the old long term support version 4.5 such as an introduction and an update video showing the differences between the LTS version 4.5 and version 4.2 in which the old video series for editors has been produced.
Besides the tutorials for editors, there are also videos for administrators you can watch on the TYPO3 YouTube channel.
Four Minutes Introduction to TYPO3 4.5 LTS
Contents: quick overview: login, create page, create and edit content in backend as well as via frontend editing in TYPO3 4.5
Comment: for a step by step tutorial see the video series; for an overview of the differences between 4.5 LTS and the series' version 4.2 see the video on TYPO3 4.5 LTS
Duration: 3:59 | Click image to start video
Embedding Video and Audio Files
TYPO3 4.5 LTS - Comparison to Version 4.2
Complete Video Series (Version 4.2)
Though in an older version - TYPO3 4.2 - this series still can be a help for editors working with one of the newer TYPO3 versions 4.x as most of the features and arrangements have not changed significantly. The differences towards 6.x are more crucial.
The video series shows slowly and step by step the knowledge a TYPO3 editor needs for daily work.
Instead of watching the videos online, you can download the whole series as a zip file: TYPO3 videos (download is being provided by an external web site).
It is planned to keep this series until the end of the lifetime of the current long term support version 4.5.

The War of 1812
For two and a half years, Americans fought against the British, Canadian colonists, and native nations. In the years to come, the War of 1812 would be celebrated in some places and essentially forgotten in others. But it is a war worth rememberingŌĆöa struggle that threatened the existence of Canada, then divided the United States so deeply that the nation almost broke apart. Some of its battles and heroes became legendary, yet its blunders and cowards were just as prominent. The War of 1812 shows how the glories of war became enshrined in history ŌĆō how failures are quickly forgotten ŌĆō how inconvenient truths are ignored forever.
The Shaw Festival: Behind the Curtain
Offering unprecedented access, The Shaw Festival: Behind the Curtain captures a unique approach to theatre in one of North AmericaŌĆÖs longest-running, most distinctive and exciting theatre experiences. In following the process of getting plays from the page to the stage, this documentary provides insight into the production at a world-renowned repertory theatre festival.
Each year between April and October, the Shaw Festival presents 10ŌĆō12 plays on four stages that attract patrons from all over the world. Located in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada, the ShawŌĆÖs extended and one-of-a-kind schedule has actors and directors working on several plays at once. Over eight months, crews design and build sets on a finely honed schedule that is both frenetic, creative and amazingly well-planned and executed.
Underground Railroad: The William Still Story
William Still was just a boy when he helped the first one escape. He never knew the man's name; only that he was being hunted by slave catchers. But in the years ahead, there would be many hundreds more. And Still vowed their stories would never be forgotten.
Underground Railroad: The William Still Story tells the dramatic story of William Still, one of the most important yet largely unheralded individuals of the Underground Railroad. Still was determined to get as many runaways as he could to "FreedomŌĆÖs Land,ŌĆØ smuggling them across the US border to Canada. Bounty hunters could legally abduct former slaves living in the so-called free northern states, but under the protection of the British, Canada provided sanctuary for fugitive slaves.
GolfŌĆÖs Grand Design
Golf's playing fields have recognizable characteristicsŌĆöfairways, greens, bunkers, and water hazards-- but golf is the only sport played on a field with no specifically defined dimensions. Golf's playing fields are dictated by the features of the land and the imagination of the architect.
Golf's Grand Design focuses on golf course architecture from the 1880s through present day featuring some of America's best known and influential courses: the National Golf Links of America on Long Island; Baltusrol in New Jersey; Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx; Augusta National in Georgia; the Dunes in South Carolina; Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina; Crooked Stick in Indiana; Sand Hills in Nebraska; Shadow Creek in Las Vegas and Bandon Dunes and Old Macdonald in Oregon.
Chautauqua: An American Narrative
Chautauqua: An American Narrative captures the unique environment and opportunities provided by the Chautauqua Institution. The program focuses on the contemporary story of Chautauqua today while using the Institution's rich history to provide context and perspective. It is an exploration of this uniquely American experience and its pervasiveŌĆöyet sometimes forgottenŌĆöplace in American culture and history.
The Chautauqua Institution promotes life-long learning and the engagement of art, education and community through lectures, performances, and other activities. Chautauqua: An American Narrative showcases the places and activities that make Chautauqua such a unique destination. The program highlights each of the 'four pillars' of Chautauqua; the arts, education, recreation and religion.
Elbert Hubbard: An American Original
The life of Elbert Hubbard is a story of love, art, passion and controversy set against the backdrop of the Arts and Crafts Movement at the turn of the 20th century. To this ŌĆ£back-to-basicsŌĆØ artistic and cultural movement, Hubbard would contribute his bold, ingenious talent and creative force. The flamboyant founder of the Roycroft artisan community in East Aurora, N.Y. (1856-1915) was an influential national figure -- an author, publisher, lecturer and entrepreneur. He also was a man of extreme contradictions, who ultimately died as dramatically as he lived.
Your Life, Your Money
This upbeat, fast-paced program features real-life stories of young adults navigating a variety of economic challenges. Hosted by charismatic actor Donald Faison (Scrubs, Clueless), the documentary encourages viewers to get their financial life on track and to ŌĆ£give purpose to every penny.ŌĆØ In no-nonsense terms, it delivers basic financial advice on credit, savings, insurance and other important topics. Major national personal finance experts; hip-hop icon Russell Simmons; and R&B/pop singer D.Woods (Danity Kane) add their insight to the issues.
Frank Lloyd WrightŌĆÖs Buffalo
In Buffalo, N.Y., some of the greatest works of American architecture relay a remarkable story that resonates with the universal themes of home, family and friendship. The charismatic Frank Lloyd Wright, destined to become AmericaŌĆÖs greatest architect, called Darwin Martin, an unassuming, wealthy businessman from Buffalo, his ŌĆ£best friend.ŌĆØ Frank Lloyd WrightŌĆÖs Buffalo reveals how MartinŌĆÖs three decades of support fostered WrightŌĆÖs career and led to some of the architectŌĆÖs renowned masterpieces.

Tooth Pain? Desensitize and Remineralize with new TheraBreath Specialty penThursday, August 16th, 2012
Besides offering a new Professional Teeth Whitening Kit and Specialty Whitening Pens, TheraBreath is proud to unveil a third product for brightening and protecting teeth: our very own Tooth Sensitivity Treatment Pen.
What can cause your pearly whites to ache? If you experience dental sensitivity, you already know the answer: cold foods, hot meals, acidic citrus fruits, sugary snacks and hard or chewy candies. (Eating ice cream can be particularly excruciating.) But behind these problems lies a more basic cause of tooth sensitivity – namely, weakened enamel.
This layer of minerals is the hardest part of your teeth, but there are plenty of habits that can make it thinner…and thinner…and thinner.
Smoking and drinking acidic sodas are the most obvious factors, but there are other, sneakier routes. For instance, did you know that alcohol-based mouthwashes gradually weaken enamel? Or that brushing with hard-bristled toothbrushes can scrape away your enamel like a scouring pad (and erode your gums, exposing the tooth root)?
Once the enamel is gone, the softer layer underneath – called "dentin" – quickly crumbles, leaving your dental nerves laid bare.
No wonder your teeth ache!
This calls for a Tooth Sensitivity Treatment Pen. Not only does it help seal in weakened enamel, but its specially formulated remineralizing gel strengthens and hardens your teeth, reducing the risk of aches.
So, the next time you feel a twinge, a throb or a serious ache in your teeth, turn to our specialty remineralizing pens, which quickly seal over weakened enamel. While you're at it, use a Professional Teeth Whitening Kit to brighten your smile, and carry a Specialty Whitening Pen to touch up any dark spots on your pearly whites.
We'll have you beaming (and eating ice cream) in no time!

Hello All,
I hope you can help me. I am thinking of buying equipment to take photos of tourist and sell them, like in Disney Land, where the photographers are walking around and transmit the digital images to a central booth were clients chose and buy them. I have no clue about what to get. I did some research and the equipment seems to be very expensive and I need advise in what is the right setting for my new venture. Also, I am not sure if I will need any software to edit photos. My idea is to have a nice background picture were people can pose like if they were actually at that location. I also saw a program were you shoot against a blue background and then over impose the photos.
Please help, I'm very exited about the business side but know nothing about the technical side.
Any advice is much appreciated.

Canyon Fuel's Dugout Canyon mine near Wellington eliminated 114 jobs Thursday in what its parent company called a "market driven" response to weak regional demand for coal.
Arch Coal, Inc., the owner of Canyon Fuel also indicated it intends to suspend longwall operations when it completes work on the current panel sometime during the first half of 2012.
The company stressed that the decision was no fault of the miners. "We regret the need to take this difficult action," said Paul A. Lang, executive vice president of operations, in a prepared statement. "We want to thank the hardworking employees at Dugout Canyon for their dedication and their strong commitment to running a safe and productive operation. We hope to retain most, if not all, of these valued members of the Canyon Fuel team - and plan to offer positions to the affected employees at operations within Arch's national network of mines."
Employees who fill open positions in other states will be given relocation assistance. The company will pay the employees who cannot relocate 60 days of wages and benefits as well as a severance package.
Arch, the nation's second largest producer of coal, also operates the Skyline Mine near Scofield and Sufco in Sevier County. The company owns mines in every major coal basin in the United States. Coal sales from Dugout Canyon totaled 2.3 million tons in 2010. "Although we are reducing production at Dugout Canyon at this time, we believe there may be additional opportunities for Utah coal in the future - both here at home and in the global marketplace," said Lang.Â
The next potential longwall panel has been developed and could be worked if and when market conditions improve, he said.
One miner who asked not to be identified, said the announcement came as a surprise to day shift workers who were called in for a meeting before the start of the day's work.
The Dugout reduction comes less than a year after Consol shut down its Emery Mine in December 2010.That closure affected 171 employees, effectively removing about $10 million in payroll from the local economy.
Last month, the Horizon Mine temporarily idled 53 when it encountered a geologic problem.

A 35-year-old Marion County woman was killed in an Osceola County crash, but her two children -- ages 9 and 3 -- were not injured, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.
Keri Ann Fraley, 35, of Silver Springs, was killed in the crash, which occurred around 10:30 p.m. Sunday on U.S. Highway 441, troopers said.
According to the FHP, Fraley was trying to pass a driver at the time of the crash. The children did not suffer any injuries, but both were taken to St. Cloud Hospital as a precaution, troopers said.
The other driver was not injured.
Troopers do not believe alcohol was a factor, and the crash remains under investigation.

About this blog
Out for Good
The view from under South Hill, as interpreted by Luca
Monday, August 25, 2014
This year's First Year Reading Initiative selection The Good Lord Bird by James McBride, has our class of 2018, and many members of the campus community, following along with the story of Henry or "Little Onion" and John Brown. The novel has several key themes, and readers interested in LGBT themes may also be quite intrigued by the way Onion is at first mistaken for a girl, but acclimates quickly to this new role. Ideas of coming of age, resilience and self-reliance, the meaning of loyalty, the path to finding and understanding one's identities (including one's sexual identity) and the complications of managing undisclosed or hidden identities, may be among those that resonate. The IC Library has compiled a comprehensive guide to the book and its author, be sure to check that out whether you are a new or a returning student.
Monday, August 12, 2013
Just like our incoming class of 2017, this summer I took some time to read this year's First Year Reading Initiative selection Brooklyn by Colm Toibin. The IC Library has compiled an outstanding, comprehensive guide to the book and its author, be sure to check that out even – especially! - if you are returning student.
Themes that run throughout the book include the many ideas of "home," individuality, finding oneself, exile, community, culture, friendship, family, and connection. The main characters confront ways people and relationships can be layered, unexpected, and intertwined, and methods with which people deal with and address discomfort in themselves and others. The characters' paths lead them toward leaving the familiar, striking out in new places with new situations and relationships until they become the new "normal," and then returning once again to old places and at first experiencing shock and dissonance but then finding how quickly one can acclimate and become accustomed to the old familiar once again.
Without giving away too many of the plot twists and turns, Eilis, the main character, at one point struggles with keeping a rather significant secret from her mother, and struggles with what to say, and whether to say it. And she also believes if she does tell this secret, her mother may, instead of listening and communicating openly, somehow act as if she had never heard this news at all. A bit later, Eilis also wonders if she tells this secret to her friends, if they might just not believe her or end up completely confused because the details of her secret are something she believes are entirely outside of their understanding and experience.
Students interested in LGBT themes may find common, shared ground in many of the book's metaphors and ideas. Those with interests in LGBT literature and the work of out LGBT authors may also find interviews with the author, and his other works, illuminating as well. This interview with Colm Toibin, including his thoughts on the closet, and being gay, focuses specially on these and other themes, while this review discusses another book. And, be sure to view him speak in his own words about being a gay writer.
Wednesday, August 22, 2012
As the new academic year approaches, I, like many of our incoming class of 2016, have been reading the First Year Reading Initiative selection Ten Thousand Saints by IC faculty member Eleanor Henderson. Many themes and threads run through the book. Music, drugs, sex, spirituality, friendship, family, connection - are but a few. Students interested in LGBT themes, or in public health or history, or those intrigued by tattoos, will likely be drawn in to the story and its characters, too. So much ground is covered (literally and figuratively, for some of the characters), that even fans of the Mets or of singer Bob Seeger will find brief mentions of these within the layered design of the storyline. And those keenly attuned to aspects of equality and respect may briefly become concerned when a character uses an anti-gay invective within the first chapter. But readers who continue will find that this and other details serve to paint the picture of a particular time and place, one far removed from today's awareness of bullying and name-calling, one in which it is likely this type of language was much more common.
Finding one's way is an idea that comes up frequently for students here at IC. In this book, that's what many if not all of the characters are doing on various levels, too. Navigating relationships, ideas, passions. Grappling for understanding, forgiving, finding compassion. Wrestling with ways life, people, and relationships can be messy and complicated. And responding to the unexpected, both the good and the bad, in people, institutions, and society.
Just before the close of last semester, I had a conversation with a student about to embark upon a journey of sorts. It wasn't a journey about any of the specific themes of this book, in fact it was about something not really in the book at all. At the heart of this particular student's musings, though, was the theme of finding one's way. How do we find connection and community in a world from which we may at times feel profoundly disconnected? What does it mean when we may share particular beliefs or identities, but differ on what these mean? How does one reconcile deeply holding ideas within oneself that are seemingly at odds? We ended our talk that day this way, not unlike what some may take away from their reading of this book: I am on my path, you are on your path. We are all finding our way.

It's Leap Day, that once a quadrennial day that helps our calendar stay on track. Out for Good has also been pondering all the little things - besides Leap Day - that help keep things on track. Among them:
- In this town there are two - count them, two! - campus-based LGBT Center directors. One here at IC, and one at Cornell. Just a few weeks ago, we two were in the same place at the same time (and no, this does not cause a tear in the space/time continuum, although that is very funny), facilitating a leadership retreat for a group of amazing students. How terrific to have a colleague so nearby! And with this also comes other opportunities not just for the two of us, but also for students. There are always things LGBT and non-LGBT related, taking place on both campuses, that any student can attend. We're always thinking about ways we can work together, things students might have in common, and unique opportunities that might be of interest to all students regardless of which Ithaca campus they call home.
- Campus community members that want to give each other room to grow, learn, and be themselves. In just the past two weeks I've watched as an outstanding student journalist has worked tirelessly to cover a story about a new program that makes our campus unique, the alumnae who were inspired to help create it, and one of the students who is accessing it. I've also had the privilege of working alongside IC students who volunteer their time to prepare income tax returns for working families in our community. They knowledgeably and skillfully provide a needed service that benefits the larger community. And I've been part of conversations in which current students connect with prospective students, answering questions and providing insight into what it's like to be an IC student.
- A local area awash in natural beauty. Lakes, waterfalls, trails, and more, all literally steps from your door. Fun facts and trivia take on a unique and quirky spin here, too.
- And so much more.
In this leap year, consider taking a leap - what things have you been meaning to do, but haven't yet found the time? What helps keep you on track - friends, fun, studying, volunteering? This year has one extra day - be sure to use it to stay on track, whatever that means to you.

A little more than a year ago, a student came by my office with an idea. She had just attended a professional conference in her academic field of study, speech-language pathology. At the conference, she went to a session highlighting a specialized service in her discipline that was being offered elsewhere. She thought it would be a great addition to her academic program here, as well as provide a needed resource.
Another student in the program had also attended the session, and met with the Program Director of the Ewing Speech and Hearing Clinic here at Ithaca College. The two students were very interested and very passionate about the possibilities, and encouraged a series of meetings that led to a unique collaboration - a new service that will launch this semester!
The Voice and Communication Modification Program for People in the Transgender Community is a collaboration between the Sir Alexander Ewing Speech and Hearing Clinic at Ithaca College, the LGBT Center at Ithaca College, and Planned Parenthood. This program will focus on developing voice, articulation, language, non-verbal communication, self perception, and voice related quality of life, and is open to both male to female and female to male transgender people.
The new program will provide a strong resource to the community by providing the most current treatment methods in the area of transgender communication, as well as provide experiential learning opportunities to graduate students who are obtaining their Master of Science degree in the area of Speech-Language Pathology at IC.
The group is offered at no charge for IC students, faculty and staff, and to family of staff and faculty. Community members that do not fit into the above categories will pay a nominal fee. Please contact the Ewing Clinic at 607-274-3714 for more information. Additional info is available, as well as the program brochure.
If you or someone you know may be interested in this service, please encourage them to contact the Ewing Clinic for more information.

After vanishing from refrigerator shelves at the Steiner familys mill in Burrville last fall, gallons of freshly pressed apple cider have made a comeback.
Thanks to the outstanding apple harvest at orchards in the state, gallons are now available for $5.39 at the Burrville Cider Mill. The reintroduction of gallons comes after the mill elected to sell only half gallons last season, when drought-stricken orchards were compelled to increase apple prices by as much as 300 percent. Half gallons sold for $4.89 last fall to reflect wholesale apple prices, but now theyve dipped to $3.39.
Co-owner Tina L. Steiner, 41, said customers have stopped by more often and have bought more cider, doughnuts, pies and other products since the cider mill opened Aug. 24.
Last year was not profitable, and we were just able to pay for operational costs, said Mrs. Steiner, whose parents, Gregory W. Sr. and Cynthia L. Steiner, bought the mill in 1996. But apple prices are now ... lower than last year. And our cider prices are right back down to where they were in 2011. People are now stopping by many times and buying 3 to 4 gallons, but last year they were stopping by maybe once and buying less. We should be able to recoup from last year and double our production easily.
The Steiner family purchased a cider press machine last season to increase production, Mrs. Steiner said, but couldnt take advantage of it because of high apple prices. But the apple press an investment of about $50,000 is expected to pay off this season by producing more cider to keep pace with demand.
Mrs. Steiners 18-year-old son, Zachary K., said the press is producing about 1,000 gallons of cider per day, and it has the capacity to make up to 3,000 gallons a day. The mill is expected to at least double its annual production from last season, he said, which was about 40,000 gallons.
We were making about seven bins per day at this time last year, and now were at about 14, Mr. Steiner said Thursday morning while operating the loud press in the mills basement behind the store. When the apple crop is bad, we have a bad season. But its good this year, and well produce even more in October because its the busiest time of year.
The mill buys the majority of its apples from Sinclair Orchards, Mexico, and the remainder from orchards in the Finger Lakes region, Mrs. Steiner said. Over the long term, she said, the business plans to evolve into a self-sufficient operation by harvesting apples from trees planted on family-owned property off Cramer Road in the town of Rodman. The family planted 100 trees at the orchard this spring, increasing its total to about 300.
In about eight years, trees should be ready to harvest, Mrs. Steiner said.
The mill is open seven days a week from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.

At approximately 7:50 pm on April 17, a massive explosion at the West Fertilizer Co. plant in the small town of West, Texas, left an estimated five to 15 people dead, injured at least 160 others, and destroyed many buildings in the surrounding vicinity. A 50-unit apartment complex near the plant was reduced to reduced to "a skeleton," a state police officer was quoted by AP.
In a process reminiscent of rescue workers combing through the rubble after the collapse of the World Trade Center in 2001, rescue workers could not immediately tell if they were engaged in a search-and-rescue or body recovery operation.
"They have not gotten to the point of no return where they don't think that there's anybody still alive," Waco Police Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said of the rescuers.
Because of the small size of the West Police and Fire Departments, many public statements were issued by members of the Waco Police Department. West, with a population of about 2,800 people, is located about 18 miles north of Waco. Members of the Dallas Fire-Rescue team, coming 70 miles from the north, were also seen taking part in the rescue effort.
"We've got a lot of people who are hurt, and there's a lot of people, I'm sure, who aren't gonna be here tomorrow," said West Mayor Tommy Muska. "We're gonna search for everybody. We're gonna make sure everybody's accounted for. That's the most important thing right now."
Dallas Radio WBAP interviewed D.L. Wilson with the Texas Department of Public Safety, who described what he saw when he arrived on scene: "Massive [damage]. Just like Iraq, just like the Murrah building in Oklahoma City. The same kind of chemical exploded. You can imagine what kind of damage we're looking at."
Members of West's volunteer fire department responded to a call reporting a fire at the plant at 7:29 p.m., Swanton told reporters. Because the plant houses a very large chemical stockpile, "they realized the seriousness of what they had," he said.
Mayor Muska, who is also a volunteer firefighter, said that he and his fellow emergency workers were in the process of evacuating the area around the plant when the blast followed about 20 minutes later.

This is "Simpsons" opening to end all "Simpsons" openings.
FOX asked "Pacific Rim" director Guillermo del Toro to create the couch gag sequence for the upcoming "Treehouse of Horror XXIV" special -- and man, he did not disappoint!
The video, which runs almost 3 minutes long, is packed with nearly every horror movie reference you could possibly think of, from the classic Universal monsters to del Toro's own wicked "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Hellboy" creations.
There's so much going on here, you may have to watch the video more than once before it all sinks in.
Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Blade and even Pepper from "American Horror Story" all make cameos. See if you can spot them all above!
"Treehouse of Horror XXIV" airs this coming Sunday.

|Wellborn has Blackhawks in state finals
|Written by Mike Kelly
|Monday, 31 May 2010 07:34
Normal 0 Former Watauga High baseball player and assistant coach Ben Wellborn has the West Wilkes Blackhawks in the state finals. Normal 0
It's the first time since 1987, and only the second time in school history. The Blackhawks (21-11) got there after they defeated Bishop McGuinness two-games to one in the Class 1A Western Finals on Saturday in Millers Creek. The Blackhawks nailed down their trip to the state finals by defeating the Vandals 9-6 in game three.

Was walking home around midnight last tuesday, cos it was a holiday the next day, & bumped into about 4 guys making their mark on a lone fridge. Needless to say I said "Hey can I have a go?" and left my mark there.
The dinosaur is theirs. The FSM, along with the comment, is mine. Don't know who that weird guy in the Goodies tshirt with the camera is though. He wasn't there when I took the photo - must be a poltergeist or something.
There also appears to be smoke coming from one of His appendages. I don't remember doing that, but hey I was drunk & it was midnight.

I'm stuck between 2 to pick, 15T or 12N. I don't have a problem doing either of them but I was looking for someone's opinion that has taken either MOS. Basically I was interested in the pros and cons of each one. I really appreciate any response I get and thank you for your time in advance.

Re: MOS Help!!!
I know with the 12N I will be getting dirty and that doesn't bother me at all. That MOS is also good for me getting a civilian job. With the 15T, I do like doing mechanic work and the reason I was interested in that MOS was because my recruiter told me that in a few years in that MOS I could be in charge of my own helicopter and that I could be a door gunner as well. But he also told me that hes known people that have been in that MOS for years and never even flown in a helicopter. He also told me that after a few years I might have a chance to become a Warrant Officer and become a pilot but since I am 30 yrs. old and he thinks the cut off date is 32 yrs. old and by the time I have a chance to do that I will be 33. So basically I was leaning towards the 15T for those reasons but if I don't really have a chance at doing that I will go 12N because it translates well for a civilian job. That is why I was looking for information from someone who has done or is currently in one of these MOS'.

The holiday helping spirit is in full swing at Byron Generating Station where employees have embarked on a number of recent events designed to help those in need. From clothing drives and toy drives to charitable giving, it will be a merry Christmas.
BYRON, Ill. – The holiday helping spirit is in full swing at Byron Generating Station where employees have embarked on a number of recent events designed to help those in need. From clothing drives and toy drives to charitable contributions, it will definitely be a happier holiday season for some groups in Northern Illinois.
The station's Goodwill committee just completed a winter clothing drive dedicated to homeless children in the Rockford area. Employees donated new and gently used children's coats, hats, scarves, gloves and boots. More than 50 full winter outfits and another 85 coats were collected and distributed to local agencies including Shelter Care Ministries, the Remedies domestic violence program and Children's Homeless Student Program, all of Rockford.
Kathy Hodge, an employee at the plant's training center, led the collection and distribution effort.
"As the down economy continues there is word that more and more children than ever are homeless and in need of basic clothes to get through the winter season," Hodge said. "This is a way for our employees to help out these children and the agencies that assist, especially as colder weather approaches."
Last weekend an employee raffle at Byron Station raised $1,455 for the Salvation Army Mountain of Toys project. Employees also donated 900 pounds of food for the Rockford Rescue Mission. The station made additional monetary contributions to the Bread of Life food pantry in Stillman Valley and the Lifeline Food and Self Help Project of Oregon.
"Our employees have big hearts and they definitely showed it with all of their charitable actions," said Byron Station Site Vice President Tim Tulon. "Hopefully the holidays will be a little brighter for those in need this time of year."

"Where were you when you heard about JFK?"
William F. Lee, now a retired Marine major, clearly remembers where he was on Nov. 22, 1963, 50 years ago this month. He was playing in an intramural football game when a courier delivered news that President John F. Kennedy had been shot. For Lee, it was a call to action. He was the commander for the Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon at the Marine Barracks in Washington.
In the days following the assassination, Lt. Lee and his men served on what they call "death watch," standing guard at the president's casket in the East Room of the White House and at the Capitol Rotunda. "It was completely silent in there. And one was left alone with his thoughts, which made it very difficult," says Lee, one of three Marines to receive the Army Commendation Medal for his service during that time.
A group of five – one servicemember representing each branch of the military – would stand guard for 30 minutes, then rotate out for another group and take a break for two hours.
"It didn't seem like two hours," Lee recalls. "Thirty minutes was gone just getting off and on again. When we came off watch, we took off our uniforms. And in the case of the Marines, we pressed them and shined the brass, and spit-shined the shoes. Then had a cup of coffee, and by the time you did all that, it was time to put your uniform back on again and get ready to go, then get inspected by the officer, and then go back up and start the procedure all over again."
That's how it went for several days, except for one impromptu private Mass for the Kennedy family. About 25 minutes into one of Lee's watches, the officer in charge whispered to him that there would be a Mass, and Lee's group would stay on for the duration.
Lee says all the Kennedy family members were there, along with some Cabinet and staff members – 30 to 50 people in all.
"We were still at attention, and the Mass went on another 50 or so minutes," Lee says. "It was excruciating to stand there at attention that long, not blinking, being perfectly motionless like a mannequin. The family – Jackie, John-John and Caroline – were sitting directly in my line of vision at the foot of the casket, along with Robert Kennedy, Ethel Kennedy, and Ted Kennedy and his first wife. So that was disconcerting. I just had to do math problems in my head."
After the Mass, each Kennedy family member stopped and prayed at the casket, Lee says. Then Jackie and the children paused at the head of the casket. "She said some prayers. I couldn't hear the words. That was a little tough to handle."
Lee says someone accompanied the two children out while Jackie stayed and "put something in the casket. I don't know what it was, and then she got up and left. Beyond her, I could see the relief watch had formed in the hallway, so I knew we were going to get off watch finally after about an hour and a half of staying at attention. She (Jackie) turned back and looked at the casket. It was the most forlorn look that I have ever seen. I mean, it was just stunning. It was like someone stuck a knife in me. I was thankful that the watch came on and relieved us in a few minutes because I was more than ready to leave."
Later, the "death watch" squads served at the public viewing in the Rotunda. Lee says that while the routine was largely the same – 30 minutes on, two hours off – the setting, the crowds and the TV cameras provided a stark contrast to the serene duty in the East Room.
"The TV cameras were filming or doing something almost all of the time," Lee says. "It was like having 200 degrees on the back of your head and neck, and your back. And out front, the doors were open. It was November and there was a coolish breeze. I guess it was in the 30s. So you had some cool air on your forehead, and the difference between the two was disconcerting."
The squads remained as still as mannequins amid other distractions. "Every other person in the crowd had a flashbulb camera. And when they got to the front of the casket, there were flashbulbs going off all the time."
While standing in silence, Lee reflected on what he calls his "personal eyeball contact" with President Kennedy a few months before his death. Lee had often served during special presidential events, including the arrival of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" in the United States for a tour earlier that year. After a dinner reception at the National Gallery of Art, the president and his wife were supposed to take an elevator up one floor to meet their guests. But the elevator wasn't working correctly, and when the first couple stepped out of it, they were right alongside Lee, who was standing at attention. As they waited for the elevator to be repaired, he listened to their conversation – one he'll never forget.
"Jackie said, 'Jack, let's just go up the steps,'" Lee recalls. "He said, 'No, no, no. Let's wait for the elevator.' This conversation was repeated several times. Finally she said, 'Jack, let's go up the steps. Everybody is waiting.' He said, 'OK,' and as he turned to me, he said, 'Don't worry. I make all the big decisions.' Of course, I was a mannequin, so I didn't laugh."

On November 22, 1963 I was serving with the U.S Army at Ft. Jackson
SC. I was in my AIT Advance Infantry Training. We were in a classroom
when someone came in and said the President had been shot, we all were
all shocked, and a short time later they came back and said the President was dead. After my tour at Ft.Jackson My next duty station
was Schofield Barracks Hawaii with the 25th In Div. In Jan 1966 I served in Vietnam, and July 1966 I left Vietnam and was discharged at
Ft. Dix New Jersey.

I was a MTI at Lackland AFB, TX. I had just put my flight in the Mess hall for lunch when I got inside I was told by SSgt Hawkins that the President had been shot. I was shocked as just the day before I had stood at Kelly AFB, TX and watched him and this party board their airplane for the flight to Dallas, Tx.
I was posted at Fort Dix N.J. & was on my way home to R.I. when the news came over my car radio. I pulled over on the N.J. turnpike & couldnt believe the news. Not knowing if I should return to the post or continue on,I kept going on home. When I arrived everyone seemed to be in disbelieve. I still have trouble when they show the pics on T.V. P.F.C. Pollock served another 2 years & was discharged.
I was a sentinel at the JFK gravesite in 1969 and Sgt of the Guard in 1970. Our squad was one of the last to 'Guard' the tomb, until it was discontinued. It was a very big honor to Guard the grave of President John F. Kennedy.

This year held several new-to-me authors that I fell in love with. I already covered some of them over in a post about Loud Reading, but I couldn't contain myself to a single book love post. What follows are more of my favorite reads of 2012.
As a scifi classic, I know I have had plenty of time and opportunity to read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein. After reading this book, I can see why he has such a fan base, even with its few flaws (such as only 1 female main character). The plot, the narration of the audio version, and the lovable AI character made this a keeper on my shelf.
A pleasant surprise in this category was Shifted Perspective by J. Bridger. Were-cocker spaniels. Yep. I bet you weren't expecting that. This book snuck up on me with it's quiet way, a light snuffle, followed by a cold velvety nose to the armpit that made me sit up and take notice. I was turned into a cranky child, not wanting to put this book down and staying up far too late on a work night reading it.
Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed is the first Arabic fantasy tale to save the world using flawed humans who enjoy cardamom tea. There's ghuls, and shape shifters, and sword warriors, and magic, and bad folks who do really bad things.
The biologist in me was fascinated by the nonfiction Mushroom by Nicholas Money. This read was easily accessible, not too long, and left me with a deep respect for fungi – mostly because they can kill us in oh so many ways.
Now I know this series has been around for many years, and I even heard someone mention a tv series based on the books, but it was only lately that I stumbled across George R. R. Martin's A Game of Thrones. It's nitty gritty, complex, and full of flawed characters faced with tough decisions. I definitely plan to continue on with the series; in fact I am on the library waiting list for Book 2.
Diane Setterfield entertained by greatly with her The 13th Tale. An eerie tale featuring twins, it was part historical fiction, part ghost story, and one very large part suspense. The audio version worked very well.
Hands down, one of the best origin stories I have ever had the pleasure to read was Zorro by Isabel Allende. Piece by piece, she drew together over a period of years all the bits that made Diego the man we know as Zorro, from his warrior mother, to his years spent in Europe, and his time as a pirate captive, to finally the conflicts as a young man that drove him to put on the mask. Excellent read.
The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon was unlike any other book I have read. Part fantasy, part historical fiction, and part mystery, it was super intense. Oh, and the audio kept catching me off guard with an accentuated Spanish accent popping off such phrases as, 'They are just a bunch of ass-lickers!'.
Elif Shafak's The Bastard of Istanbul was an intense modern-day fiction about a Turkish family of women and their ties to a young Armenian American who comes to visit. Some might call this magical realism, as there is a djinn at some point that no one thinks odd. I enjoyed it because it was different from what I normally read and because it opened the door a little wider for me on the Turkish culture.
Giraffe by J. M Ledgard is a historical fiction based on facts, almost a nonfiction. Basically it is about a group of giraffes brought to a Czechoslovakian zoo and how all these folks are affected by their presence. Let me just say that the ending was not sudden, not over quickly, and was immensely sad. In fact, my man refused to listen to this book because of how sad it made me – but that is a sign that the author got the point across in full color.
I am not well versed on the classics and through Darkcargo's efforts to encourage reading of the classics, I tackled The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck this year. this book was so poignant and moving, especially the ending (which is definitely not shown in the black and white movie). Steinbeck didn't hold back from showing the gritty parts of Depression Era USA and the affect on migrant workers.
Dracula by Bram Stoker has received so much hype over the years and so many versions of vampires now abound in our world, that I simply did not expect how good this book would be. The suspense is high all the way through, and then there was the description of the Romanian and Transylvanian food that inspired some cooking of my own.
Conn Iggulden provided me with many, many hours of entertainment via his Emperor series covering the life of Julius Caesar, a part of history that has fascinated me for decades. From a young Julius running around getting into scraps with other idiot children, to his days captured by pirates, on to Greece, and eventually a long stint in Gaul, and finally Egypt and the birth of his son, and then Rome and his death. The four books in the series are worth the read (The Gates of Rome, The Death of Kings, The Field of Swords, The Gods of War).
