Those who have this coming Monday, November 11, off in honor of Veterans Day, are welcome to attend the Veterans Day ceremony at the VFW Post 108, on Tinkerfield Road. The ceremony begins at 11 am, and is expected to last about an hour. Newtown First Selectman Patricia Llodra will be the guest speaker.
Golden Opportunities, in Sandy Hook, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the well-being of those who are isolated and lonely, invites all veterans to the Sandy Hook Diner, 98 Church Hill Road, Monday morning, November 11, for free coffee and doughnuts. From 10 to 11 am, Knettie Archard, founder of Golden Opportunities, along with staff from the diner, will welcome veterans for a coffee break in honor of Veterans Day.
In a video posted on November 3 to the Great Pumpkin Challenge of Newtown Facebook page, NHS student Mackenzie Page thanked everyone for stepping up to her challenge to carve a pumpkin and drop it off with a $5 donation, for display at her home on Main Street. In the video, Mackenzie announced 172 pumpkins were collected and $4,589 was raised through the effort for The Hole In The Wall Gang Camp, Paul Newman's nonprofit organization for seriously ill children. I scuttled between the legs of thousands of trick or treaters on Main Street, Halloween night, just to see the spectacle of all those pumpkins glowing in the Page's front yard. I hope you had a chance to see them, too, because it was honestly the best treat of the night.
Members of Catherine's Peace Team were in Rochester, N.Y., last Friday, for the National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon. Hosted by The Association of Fundraising Professionals — Genesee Valley Chapter, the November 1 event was at Rochester Riverside Convention Center. Team members were joined by Jack Sullivan, a 9-year-old from Brighton, N.Y., and a cousin of the late Catherine Hubbard, one of the children killed 12/14. Led by Jack, the team has collected more than $75,000 to contribute to The Catherine Violet Hubbard Animal Sanctuary, through the sales of knitted items and presentations to a wide variety of organizations. Jack and Catherine's Peace Team were honored with The Outstanding Youth Volunteer Fundraiser-Group Award, which recognizes service by a group of young people between the ages of 5 and 18 who demonstrate outstanding commitment to the community through direct financial support, development of charitable programs, volunteering, and leadership in fundraising.
Should you go, or should you not? I think a lot of people driving through the Plaza South on Route 25 might be scratching their heads when they come upon this confusing stencil on the driveway. Jane Campbell was so kind as to send us this photo that indicates drivers should "Move forward." No, wait — not too far! STOP! Makes me wonder if the painter didn't take an extended lunch at nearby Pub 25 before completing the task…
Bruce Herring and John Lorenzo stopped by this week to share some photos from the mid-1940s and reminisce about their high school days at Hawley School. On the way out, Bruce generously offered to leave us his copy of the 1948 yearbook, The Bugle, a lucky thing for The Bee. It turns out that 1948 was one year missing from our collection. A big "Thank you!" goes out to Bruce!
The Sandy Hook Fire & Rescue Company Ladies Auxiliary will host an open house, Tuesday, November 12, at 7 pm, at the main station, 18-20 Riverside Road. Members will introduce themselves and explain their role at the fire company. Reservations are not necessary, but additional information is available from Laurie Comerford at 203-948-4804. The auxiliary supports firefighters in the event of large fires and other community emergencies, including respite care. The group does fundraising and participates in firehouse events. Membership is open to all, 19 and older. Meetings are the second Tuesday of each month, at 7 pm.
I stumbled across this tidbit on the Cyrenius H. Booth Library Facebook page, "We are so excited! Thanks to the reconfiguring of some old shelves Ralph and Eric found in the attic, we now have a new expanded area for new adult fiction and mystery titles. This means more new books!" And just when cold weather and holiday breaks are right around the corner, with more time for reading. Purr-fect, if I say so myself.
Marilyn Alexander, along with Peg Forbell and Emi Lydem, baked up ten of the Mardi Gras "king cake" confections, complete with little plastic babies (put on top of each cake instead of baked within, a slight deviation from the tradition of baking the plastic cherub into each cake), for a shrimp boil hosted by Newtown Congregational Church on November 2. She did this in spite of the fact that someone else should have been baking a cake for her. Marilyn's birthday was last Saturday, but she said she was happy to be sharing her birthday with her extended church family. Once the diners were reminded by Reverend Matt Crebbin of the significance of the day, Marilyn was serenaded by the crowd of approximately 175 happy revelers… in between bites of cake, that is. I just hope Rev Matt hummed a few bars to himself — he celebrated a birthday November 1. (All Saints Day, appropriately enough!)
Most of us can be thankful for bountiful lives, but others are struggling. All-Star Transportation bus drivers will sponsor a Stuff-A-Bus event at the Stop & Shop in Sand Hill Plaza, this Saturday, from 8 am until 5 pm. Donations of all food items are welcome, and will go to fill the shelves at the town food pantry at Social Services, South Main Street.
In two weeks, it will be time for the annual Fill The Fire Truck Food Drive. Members of all five of Newtown's fire companies participate in this event to fill the shelves and freezers of FAITH Food Pantry just before Thanksgiving. Hawleyville, Hook & Ladder, and Sandy Hook members will be outside Big Y, Saturday, November 24, from 9 am to 2 pm, receiving donations of food and finances from residents. During those same hours, members of Botsford and Dodgingtown will be stationed outside Stop & Shop. All donations will be delivered to the pantry located in Sandy Hook Center that afternoon.
The Newtown Choral Society is gearing up for the December 8 winter concert at the Meeting House, and this year has something extra special to offer. The choral group will present original works by two area composers, Dan Coffman of Bethel and Phil Crevier of Newtown. I don't want to give it all away, but I'm pretty sure you'll want to be at the 4 pm concert that day to hear these pieces performed. Not to mention, it is always a good way to get in the spirit of the holiday season.
I always manage to come up with something a little special, so here's hoping that next week you'll… Read me again.

Union Township officials are updating the land use plan now called Horizon 2030.
The Union Township Comprehensive Land Use Plan 20/20, adopted in 2001, built on the land development plan that was adopted in 1988 and revised in 1994.
All the factors that contribute to a land use plan are fluid and constantly changing, said Cory Wright, township assistant administrator and planning and zoning director.
"In 2001, the revised document was much more comprehensive in nature, addressing current and future population growth trends, residential development patterns, densities, the availability of infrastructure, including public parks, sewers, roads and sidewalks, and defining specific action plans for the major commercial corridors within the township," Wight said.
But the Planning and Zoning Department is always compiling information regarding land use statistics, growth patterns and other community issues. At their regular board meeting Feb. 14, the township trustees authorized an update to the 2001 comprehensive land use plan.
The new plan will update the underlying foundations of the plan and will look at population growth and shifts in demographics, as well as the levels of job growth and creation experienced and projected in the township during the current planning period, Wright said.
"The community continues to grow residentially and much of the remaining parcels are in-fill," said Administrator Ken Geis. "The commercial activity is strong and has changed since the last update. Today, we need to be even more sensitive to the traffic patterns and movement of people to and through our community for safety and convenience."
"The comprehensive plan is a general framework to record existing activity and to recommend future changes to the township," Geis said.
"By understanding and developing a detailed picture of where we have been, as a community, and where we are currently, we can effectively chart our course to the horizon and ensure that Union Township remains the best place in the region to live, raise a family or conduct business activities," Wright said. "Also, by understanding our demographic composition and trends, we can develop policies that enhance the community, rather than detract from it."
Wright said a necessary consideration is the land use activity of surrounding political subdivisions.
"We will also be examining the relationship between land uses, and the role that proper and appropriate site design, location and infrastructure availability play with respect to impacting the built environment," he said.
The plan will explore the relationship between land use and the existing and proposed transportation network, the availability of pedestrian infrastructure, and the existing multi-modal transportation options available in the township, Wright said.
"We anticipate continuation of a corridor-based approach with regard to land use recommendations, as this is the most effective manner in which to establish policies that are relevant to specific and unique areas of the township," he said.
"Union Township has the largest commercial and residential population in Clermont County and has historically been the leader in new and innovative planning for the county. We are pleased to see that Clermont County has started the process to create their first comprehensive plan because our customers often ask about the plans for the surrounding area," Geis said.

Vickery and Rhinos part company
Super League champions Leeds Rhinos have announced the departure of Australian winger Joe Vickery.
The 23-year-old, who has not played since suffering an ankle injury in May, has been released from the remainder of a contract due to expire at the end of the season.
Vickery, formerly of Gold Coast Titans, joined the Rhinos at the start of the season after impressing during a trial period last winter.
He made 10 appearances for the club, including the World Club Challenge against Melbourne in February, and scored one try.
Vickery said: "I don't regret anything and I just want to thank the club for giving me the best opportunity ever.
"I wish things had worked out differently but that wasn't to be.
"The World Club Challenge against Melbourne was probably the highlight of my life, to run out in front of that incredible crowd and be part of that game was a huge moment for me."
Rhinos coach Brian McDermott added: "I think he deserves a lot of credit for backing himself and coming over here to try and earn a shot at playing top-flight rugby league.
"He can be proud that he backed himself and joins a very select group of players who have represented this great club."

can i please get Earl Bennett. Thanks
May I please have Jared Allen?!?!?!?! I got dibs first!!!
That's up to Jimmors if he wants to make these again, and if he wants to allow dibs before it starts. That could cause a headache.....
Jimmors is on, no doubt!
Oh please please may i land Allen
I'll need to remove Pepp now lol
good job
Should have done this a few weeks back right enough....
Yeah, we need to organize this otherwise it will be quite hard to get anyone.
I will be making new ones for the upcoming season, i will probably do them in August during the Pre-season, as the roster gets finalized. So i guess if there is more interest this time around, we could do it draft-style, just need a way to determine draft order, maybe have some kind of contest (could do something with the draft coming up), and the draft order will be based on what place people finish in the contest or something.
In any case, no dibs. And this time around, SuperFans will be able to pick ANY Bear, past or present. Non-SuperFans will be limited to current roster only. Maybe ill come up with a few new designs and let people vote on which one they like they best, and ill use that this year.

Midwestern author Ellen Baker's debut novel spans three generations of the Mickelson family, who live in an imposing house on a hill in bucolic Park Rapids, Wisconsin. The legend is that an Indian chief placed a curse on that hill, the final resting place of his young daughter. Anyone who disturbed it would be unlucky in love.
Dolly Magnuson, a newlywed just moved to town in 1950, learns of the Mickelsons during gossipy quilting sessions with the church ladies. Somewhat disenchanted with married life, she falls in love with the neglected house, and wants to find out what happened to make the family leave town. She sneaks into the house and tries to clean it up, but her plan goes awry when the last Mickelson son, World War II veteran JJ, arrives home unexpectedly. As she works around him, he opens up to her and gradually provides the missing pieces of the puzzle.
This story does what all good stories should do: It takes you places some homey and warm, and others where you'd rather not go. The central characters are the Mickelson women, sympathetic, troubled and beautiful. The men are aloof, roiling with unclaimed emotion and needs. The plot shifts between Dolly's own troubled marriage and her housekeeping efforts, and the sad tale of the Mickelson family, spanning two world wars. Baker has a degree in American Studies, and her debut is as much a look at wifery and creating a home life as it is a family saga. Using chapter headings from ladies' journals of the period to help set the mood, Baker does a skillful job of painting a picture of early 20th-century society, blending it with an intricate look at a single family's experience to create a compelling drama that is full of love, conflict, loss and life.

If an airline delays or cancels your flight, or something goes wrong while you're travelling, it pays to know what your rights are
Under EU law, you have significant rights on many flights to, from or within the European Union. This page will help you understand when the law applies and what you are entitled to if your flight doesn't go as planned.
To be covered by EU law, your flight must be either:
departing from an EU airport and operated by any airline,
arriving at an EU airport and operated by an EU airline
Under this law, EU airports also include those in Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway and Switzerland.
If you book with one airline but fly with another (a 'codeshare flight') then it's the nationality of the airline operating the flight that counts.
If your flight isn't covered by EU law, you may still be entitled to assistance.
The length of your flight determines many of your rights, so it's a good idea to check which category your flight falls into:
The distance is sometimes shown on your flight confirmation. Alternatively, you can check it online.
If your flight is delayed, EU law says your airline must provide food, drink and accommodation. See specific information about:
If your flight has been cancelled, your airline must offer you the choice of a refund or alternative flight. See specific information about:
If an airline has overbooked a flight or uses a smaller plane than it planned, it sometimes asks or forces passengers to give up their seat. This is called being 'bumped' or denied boarding.
Your rights when bumped from a flight
The table below shows how this is calculated:
Length of journey
Up to 1500km
30% of the price of the ticket
50% of the price of the ticket
More than 3500km
75% of the price of the ticket
If your journey involves more than one flight and you have a through ticket (a single ticket which covers more than one flight), your airline may have to look after you if you miss your connection.

Rösti Casserole with Baked Eggs
This dish embodies the alluring qualities you'd expect from rösti―shredded potatoes that are cooked until browned and crisp on the edges. Senior Food Editor Julianna Grimes notes, "This casserole fills the crispy, creamy, cheesy bill. Adding a salad rounds out the meal."

Do you want to write for Ink 19?
Dancing Barefoot: The Patti Smith Story
by Dave Thompson
Chicago Review Press
I've said my piece about Dave Thompson's writing before -- if you want it done fast, boilerplate-style, before the craze dies down, you give this man a ring -- but with subject matter as rich as Patti Smith, I had hoped this book would be more Number One Songs in Heaven (a very entertaining read) than his Red Hot Chili Peppers bio ('nuff said). I'd like to say that Dancing Barefoot is a fine piece of writing that ties together Smith's career neatly and serves as an excellent bookend to Smith's own, Just Kids, and Judy Linden's photographic compendium, Patti Smith: 1969-1976, but as is often the case with Thompson, it's complicated. Especially since Thompson tosses out whoppers like the claim that William S. Burroughs wrote Naked Lunch at the Chelsea Hotel (egads man, check yer fucking timeline) and wholesale lifts portions of Just Kids into his own work (with the net effect of making those chapters pointless to read if you've already read Kids). On the other hand, he gives quite a bit of pagespace to Patti's usually overlooked post-"retirement" life/work, scores interviews with key members of the Patti Smith Group, and calls bullshit, when necessary, on peccadilloes like Smith's later albums and her tendency to freeze out other female musicians in her youth. So it's a mixed bag. Okay, he's done his research, listened to the bootlegs, and read the magazines (and pulls quotes from 'em like a motherfucker!), so we get interesting revelations about her work with John Cale (circa Horses) and some brief glimpses into her life with soulmate Fred "Sonic" Smith, but on the other hand it reads like a damn press release too much of the time, and he just doesn't dig deeper when the story gets interesting. Like when her longtime collaborator (and lover? What ho, I'd never heard that!) Oliver Ray suddenly dropped out of her band and life, Thompson closes the case with something to the effect of, "We'll never know why he left." You can almost picture him dusting his hands off. Good lord man, isn't it your job to even look into that lil' wrinkle?
Thompson dutifully follows the arc of Smith's career from an impulsive move to New York City to the apogee of the Patti Smith Group with Horses and the birth of punk and then, less sexily/iconically, Smith's gradual withdrawal from performance and immersion in domestic life. And finally, after a series of personal tragedies and deaths, a triumphant return to writing and singing. A return that continues to the present day.
I'm still gonna have to say that Victor Bockris' Patti Smith: An Unauthorized Biography edges this one out, just by dint of Bockris's writerly flair, and that he, unlike Thompson, doesn't shy away from things like her crazy-ass "performance" at the Interzone Conference. But with that tome kinda hard to find right now, this may be Thompson's moment... at least until Smith delivers on the promised second volume of her memoir.

HAVANA (August 31, 2013)—So far, the Florida Strait has frustrated the repeated efforts of endurance athlete Diana Nyad to conquer it, but she was back in the water again Saturday for her fourth try to become the first to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective shark cage.
She expects to take about 80 hours to make the swim, arriving somewhere between Key West and Marathon, more than 110 miles from Havana.
Nyad, 64, tried three times in 2011 and 2012.
Her last attempt was cut short amid boat trouble, storms, unfavorable currents and toxic stings from box jellyfish.
As supporters shouted, "Onward, onward!" Nyad jumped into the warm waters off Havana on Saturday to begin what she says is her last attempt at the crossing.
She said the adrenaline was "pumping very hard."

Last known Lib Dem dies in captivity
Zoo keepers, veterinarians and 'sandal-wearing libertarians' were left mourning the loss of the world's last remaining 'Greater-spectacled Oakeshott'. The 'Oakeshott' had been cared for in the House of Lords' wildlife refuge since May 2000, but had failed to find a left-wing breeding partner among the elderly peers.

In the spring, until I can eat desserts made of just-picked rhubarb, I eat lemon curd. The color of sunshine with a bright sweet and tart flavor, creamy homemade lemon curd just fills me with optimism and makes me feel happy.
I love lemon curd with shortbread. And it's delicious with fresh berries. Those perfect pairings were my inspiration for Shortbread Spoons of Lemon Curd and Cream. Click here to get my recipe.
For several years I've been using a recipe for lemon curd that I love. But when I was in Portland, Oregon a couple of weeks ago, I took a cooking class from Nitockrees (Nito) Tadros Carpita, owner and principal instructor of the Seasons of Provence Cooking School in France. I joined nine other students. We were all members of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) and were in Portland to attend the annual conference. Nito shared several recipes with us that day at Le Cordon Bleu in Portland, including her recipe for lemon curd. While most lemon curd recipes require separating eggs, cooking in a double boiler and straining the pudding-like mixture, Nito has come up with a way to produce wonderful lemon curd in no time flat. No separating eggs, no double boiler or sieve required. It's my new favorite lemon curd.
Before class began that day, students at Le Cordon Bleu had made tiny tart shells.The tarts were filled with cooled lemon curd and then topped with meringue.
Nito explained to a Le Cordon Bleu student that the meringue must touch the tart shell all the way around the crust so that it seals the lemon curd. And, if you happen to cough, the meringue won't slide right off the tart. It will adhere to the crust.
The light-as-a-feather meringues were torched and looked like golden marshmallows ready to sandwich with some chocolate between two graham crackers.
I should show you a a couple of other dishes we made during the class.
Warm Eggplant Salad with Mint and Goat Cheeese
Seared Tuna with Tomato Tartare and Pistou Sauce
In the last week I've had lemon curd with shortbread, berries, scones and ginger biscuits. And then I layered it with creamy honey-flavored Greek yogurt and pureed organic strawberries. If you have some Shortbread Spoons, dip them right into a parfait. And if you don't, just spoon it up into your mouth with a teaspoon from your silverware drawer. As soon as I can make rhubarb sauce, that will replace the strawberry puree in these parfaits.
These pretty treats in a glass make breakfast very special. They are a snack worth waiting for. And they are the perfect something sweet to end an evening meal.
If you're planning a trip to France and want to take in a cooking class or two, go see Nito. Until then, enjoy her lemon curd. Nito measures some ingredients by weight. I know there are many who don't have kitchen scales, so I've converted her measurements for butter and sugar to tablespoons.
Nito's Lemon Curd
- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons superfine sugar
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- ¼ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
Cut 6 tablespoons butter into small chunks. Set aside. Whisk superfine sugar and eggs until light in a 2½-quart saucepan. Add grated zest and lemon juice. Whisk briskly by hand over medium-low heat, adding pieces of butter, one at a time, making sure the butter is melted before each addition. When mixture comes to a boiling point and just begins to bubble, it will be thickened, similar to the consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and let cool. Can be stored in refrigerator for a week.
To make Little Lemon Curd Breakfast Parfaits:
Place organic strawberries that have been rinsed, stems removed in a blender or food processor. Add some superfine sugar to the strawberries and a squirt of fresh lemon juice. Puree. Taste and add more superfine sugar if needed. In small juice glasses, layer honey-flavored Greek yogurt, lemon curd and strawberry puree. Can be made the day before serving and refrigerated overnight.

WASHINGTON -- The consensus following Game 2 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series with the Capitals on Friday night was the New York Rangers played a far better game than they did in Game 1.
They had a much improved first period, outshooting the Capitals 13-7 while controlling the territorial play, something coach John Tortorella made a point of emphasis between Games 1 and 2.
They held the Capitals to a mere 18 shots after allowing 29 in nearly 80 minutes of Game 1.
But at the end of Game 2, the Rangers were once again on the losing end, falling 2-0 after the Caps scored twice in 1:57 early in the second period to ruin what was a very solid effort by the Rangers up until that point.
"It's a valuable lesson, that's for sure," Tortorella said. "The second shift of the second period, we had some turnovers. It doesn't cause the goal, but I think it causes a momentum change right away in the second period. For about five or six minutes there, they surged on us. They scored a goal, we take a penalty, get an unfortunate bounce, and that's a big part of the game.
"I thought for most of the game, we played much better than the other night, much more of the style we need to play. We got hurt by a surge tonight. Good teams do it. We're going to have to try to get one ourselves as we go to our building."
The lucky bounce came during a Capitals power play. Defenseman Mike Green had his shot from the right point blocked, but it deflected to Jason Arnott as if it was a perfect cross-ice pass, and Arnott buried it to make it 2-0.
"They got a little lucky bounce there and took advantage of it," said Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who made 16 saves. "We have to stay positive. We need everyone to play their absolute best to have a chance."
Inserting Sean Avery into the lineup in place of Mats Zuccarello seemed to have the desired effect. He played 10:22, much of it in the third period, and was his usually pesky self.
Avery could be found bumping with goaltender Michal Neuvirth and scrapping after the play with any nearby Capitals player who didn't appreciate the tactic. Avery even had three shots, third most on the Rangers.
Tortorella liked what he saw from Avery, so it's probable he'll stay in the lineup for Sunday afternoon's Game 3
"I thought in the third period, that was a pretty good line," Tortorella said of Avery, Brian Boyle and Brandon Prust. "They gave us some zone time. I thought we did some really good forechecking with that line."
The glaring problem for the Rangers was once again the lack of scoring. They have just 1 goal in the series and missed on a couple of golden opportunities in the third period that could have cut the lead in half. The best scoring chance came when Prust found the puck on his stick with Neuvirth out of position, but his shot missed the mostly open net.
"You have to score a goal," Tortorella said. "We just have no room for any mistake when you don't score a goal or score just one. That's what's happened.
"I'm not discouraged with the hockey club. We need to release some…just as far as scoring a goal. We need to just relax, play the way we did for a number of minutes tonight and just find a way to bang a couple in."

OK, last week I went to see Amon Amarth and Dimmu Borgir. Playing together. Live. Amon and Dimmu. It was incredible.
The venue was a different one than I usually go to, and substantially larger, though still no seats or anything. (It's called Georg Else Halle instead of Backstage, and is near the "other" very large train station in Munich, which means it's farther away from my place than Backstage is.) Nonetheless, the place was pretty packed. In fact, on Thursday afternoon, after classes, I headed downtown to scoop up some tickets for the show that night, and called Sascha to see whether he'd bought his. "Dude. I was there this morning. They're already sold out."
This depressed me more than I can say, but fortunately Sascha had the bright idea of going anyway, to see whether there would still be tickets available at the window, and there were. Thirty bucks a pop, ouch, but still for sale, so no problem.
On the train, I met a 60-year-old Dimmu Borgir fan. How freaking cool is that? Here he is:
The best part is that later that night I saw him in the crowd. Actually, I kind of got thrown into him. He was right up on the front rail, headbanging with horns high, elbowing in the face every mosher who got near him. What a dude, man.
The opener of the night was a band called Engel, who were pretty OK. Did a great job working the crowd as an opener, but it wasn't too difficult, as all the singer had to do was say, "So, who's ready to see Amon Amarth?" and people were ripping out organs and hurling them at the stage. At least, I know I did.
When Amon Amarth stepped out, oh man, it was intense. They opened, of course, with "Valhall Awaits Me," opening track on the newest CD. From there they went straight into "Death In Fire," after making the crowd scream the name of the song and hurl more organs for a minute or two. Their set list was roughly so:
- Valhall Awaits Me
- Death In Fire
- Cry Of The Black Birds
- Runes To My Memory
- Asator
- Gods Of War Arise
- Pursuit Of Vikings
They played another song or two, but I can't really remember what they could have been. Maybe "Bloodshed," maybe something else off The Fate Of Norns, I don't remember. To be fair, it's very hard to distinguish between a lot of their songs lyrically, especially when you're totally drunk, both from beer and headbutts.
I know they didn't play "Down The Slopes Of Death" and also not "The Dragons' Flight Across The Waves," which are probably my favorite songs of theirs next to "Death In Fire."
But the songs they did play were definitely winners, and man did the crowd go nuts over their stuff. Every person there knew every word to every song, and the vocalist was loving it. The mic was over the crowd easily as much as it was in the hands of the vocalist. I made some videos of their set, mostly of the crowd, but it got me so pumped that I'm going to dedicate another post to discussing the Vikingage at that show. Just wow, man.
I leave you with a picture of horns and of Sascha headbanging like a pro.
That is all for now.

Naval Facilities Engineering Command Pacific (NAVFAC) Renewable Ocean Energy Conference attendees visit the wave energy test site on Marine Corps Base in Hawaii on March 26. The conference was held to pose ideas for new ways of using ocean energy for the Navy. (MC3 Dustin W. Sisco / Navy via AP)
- Filed Under
HONOLULU The Navy hopes to expand its testing for ocean wave energy power generation in Hawaii.
The Navy has been testing an energy buoy in about 100 feet of water off Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay for about 10 years.
It now hopes to put two more buoys in water more than 200 feet deep.
The greater depth will allow it to test larger devices closer to the size it needed to generate energy for customers.
Bob Frederickson of the Naval Facilities Engineering Command said Monday the new buoys are the next step toward commercializing wave energy.
The buoys would be installed only after the Navy obtains required environmental permits.
The Navy hopes to provide wave-produced energy to the Marine base in 2014.

Where do Republicans get their reputation as the party of fiscal restraint? Nothing in the data going back 8 presidents supports this reputation. Democratic presidents have consistently outperformed Republicans on job creation and the deficit in the last 40 years. Hell, even the deficit under Obama is fully $100 billion less than Bush's $1.3 trillion stunner and Obama cut federal taxes. The private sector job creation chart under Obama is not yet net positive, but it's undeniably clear that the hole he was left is filling up, albeit slower than everyone would like.
I know his party will lose big next week, but saying something that can easily be repudiated with data is a little careless. Republicans are the party of less government regulation, which is a good thing, but their track record on fiscal responsibility and jobs is worse than Democrats. That's just a fact.
Hurant please back up your claim that the democrats have done better on job creation for the last 40 years. I am particularly interested on how Reagan has done in comparison with Jimmy Carter
So, let the GOP take control for awhile- I'm excited about how they are going to cut taxes, create jobs, fix the foreclosure crisis, and keep all Americans healthy-(WITH health insurance) . The elderly may wonder what they will do without Medicare, and the young should be very concerned about a future without Social Security benefits- especially since they don't have JOBS to supply income for savings. The November "winners" are already "losers" because these problems cannot be fixed in one or two years- WE will be suffering the effects for decades.
Obama is on the right path to fiscal responsibility, but has been stonewalled at every turn. Will McCain rise from the dead eventually and start earning his pay once again? Will he support his bimbo friend, Palin, when she announces her decision to run? Oh my God, I'm going to have a stroke just thinking about it. What the hell are you people thinking? You Republicans will destroy us all financially(except the wealthy), physically and structurally. Kind of like another bridge to nowhere. I am very frightened for the future of this country.
No matter which side "wins", we will still be faced with the same problems- The GOP have promised to "reign in" spending, but haven't been specific enough for me as to how they will accomplish this- I want to know EXACTLY which programs they plan on cutting- "Abolishing " our new health care reform is not necessary- it can be tweaked- AND, it could have been tweaked initially if both parties had put their election aspirations aside and considered, truly, the plight of the American people. Most of us are poor,honest, working middle class people just trying to raise our families as best we can. I hope that our newly elected officials will concentrate on that fact.
They will have to cut programs we will not let them raise taxes. Health care is now dead it will not be funded.
To Nick from Ohio.
Cutting salaries and benefits of all State/County workers would be a great starting point.

Mi-28 HAVOC
The Mi-28 Havoc is a new-generation attack helicopter that functions as an air-to-air and air-to-ground partner for the Mi-24 Hind and Ka-50 Hokum. The five-blade main rotor is mounted above the body midsection, and short, wide, tapered, weapon-carrying wings are mounted to the rear of body midsection. Two turboshaft engines in pods are mounted alongside the top of the fuselage with downturned exhausts. The fuselage is slender and tapers to the tail boom and nose. It features a tandem, stepped-up cockpits and a cannon mounted beneath the belly, with fixed landing gear. The tapering tail boom with a swept-back fin has a flat high-mounted on the fin and a rotor mounted on right.
The Mi-28 helicopter is a fighter whose performance is comparable to the American Apache. In addition to its ability to attack ground it would have a capacity of air-to-air combat. This two-seater helicopter has a 23 mm cannon under the nose, he takes on stumps wings of anti-tank guided laser as well as launching air-to-air missiles.
The Mi-28 was designed with an aim of creating a complement with the Mi-24, but without carrying of troops, in order to have better total performances in particular as regards speed which is one of the elements major in the fight anti-tank device. The project began in 1972 but it was delayed until 1981 because the initial project of Mil was not accepted. The first prototype made its inaugural flight on November 10, 1982. In 1984, Kamov Ka-50 was chooses as an anti-tank combat helicopter and the project of Mil was seriously compromised. It would have been tested in Afghanistan in the mid-80s. Its entry into service dates back to 1987 in the Soviet regiments. The Mi-28 would have been used in Afghanistan by the Red Army between 1987 and 1990. The Mi-28 should have been delivered to Iraq in 1990 but the Gulf War intervened. With the end of the cold war came the end of the interest in having a helicopter having only a specialized anti-tank mission. Production of the Mi-28 was cancelled in 1993.
The Mi-28 is powered by two Isotov TV3-117 turbomotors of 2,500 CV each one. It has two heavily armor-plated cockpits, resistant to projectiles up to 20mm. The main rotor has four blades made out of composite materials, and a cluster of electronics components in the nose. The tanks and the system of control of the kerosene were conceived in order to prevent the risks of explosions to the case they would be damaged thanks to alloy used, the polyurethane, and with the latex which makes it possible to stop the holes. Pale plastic news supports impacts of projectiles of 30mm. Even if it is not used for transport missions, the Mi-28 has a small compartment that can accomodate 3 people, in order to help the crew of a shot down helicopter. The pilot sit behind the gunner-navigator. He has a fixed three-wheeled train which, coupled with seats absorbents energy, allows protected crew in the event of emergency landing or of vertical fall since a low altitude about 12m/s. the crew can evacuate the apparatus while jumping in parachute after having caused the breakage of the bolts maintaining the doors and the stubs of wings.
The Mi-28 can be very quickly sent on a theatre of operation after having dismounted its principal rotor to allow its arrangement on an aircraft cargo liner. It is able to turn at a speed of 45°/s, which proves its maneuverability. Only vital information for the flight is visible by the pilot during the flight in order to enable him to concentrate on piloting. Its thermal signature is 2,5 times less important than that of Mi-24. The Mi-28 is equipped with a 30mm gun, the 2A42, and it can carry air-to-air or anti-tank missiles with guidance radar placed under stubs of wings. Rockets of 80mm and 130mm are also available as well as conventional bombs, grenades, guns, machine-guns. It can carry 2300kg armament under 4 fixed points.

I thought Lone Star was a great show and needless to say, I was very disappointed that it was cancelled. It is extremely annoying that sensless shows are kept on and for a change a great new one comes along and it is cancelled. Let's hope someoe realizes this show has great merit and is returned to our Tv/s........
I loved this show..........bring it back!
I agree. Stupid shows like Jersey Shore should be canceled. Lone Star needs to be revived! Even My Generation was canceled. I am disappointed.

This product.. Just, yes.
I've tried a lot of highlighters. This is called a "pearly pinkish tone". I'm very pale as I am a natural redhead and this colour compliments my skin. It just gives you that nice finished face shine. It's noticeable mostly in natural light in the sun. It's not overly sparkly and it's a soft finish. The smell could be improved though. I personally dot it above my blush, and my brow bone. I've gotten a few compliments on my skin being "radiant" with High Beam on.

This is a great highlighter! When I apply it above me cheekbones, above my eyebrows and in my cupids bow, it definitely makes my face glow in a very nice way. When I stand under a light or in the sunlight, it really compliments my face. The best thing about it, is that it doesn't have loads of sparkle in it, much like the other highlighters I've tried. It doesn't make my face look like a unicorn threw up on it, which is great. It's also very easy to blend out, and just overall amazing. I got the sample along with posie tint (which I don't really use much) at ulta for $10, and it's lasted me a while so far. When I do run out, I'm not sure if I'll purchase the full size since it's so expensive, but I probably will since it's such a nice product. I would highly recommend.

A pearly-pink liquid-ish illuminator/ highlighter that comes in a bottle with a nail polish sort of applicator. A little goes a long way; a small amount of it is enough to give your entire face a subtle glow. I find the product to be a little overpriced but considering the amount of product you get versus the amount of product you use everyday, you will find yourself using it for years I'd dare say, so I believe it's worthied! The only downside for me is the packaging. I believe that they surely can come up with something better than a nail polish sort of brush for their bestseller, especially when it costs 30+ euro and customers have high expectations!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Very Oily, Fair, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Green
MY STORY: I had a hard time deciding which highlighter should I buy (I know, stupid). There were rave reviews about Soft & Gentle, about Mary Lou Manizer, about High Beam, about Albatross, ... But, a blogger on youtube, who was comparing all her highlighters, made me buy Mary Lou Manizer. And I am happy I did. It's such a great yellowish champagne highlighter - really light reflecting, and not so day appropriate for some. Annnnd, eight months later, I started wanting a pink highlighter. Since non online-stores want to deliver Benefit to my country, and there's no MAC nor Sephora, when a friend of mine told me he's going to the States, I told him: buy High Beam.
I'm glad I've listened to all those rave reviews, though when I was testing it this summer in store, I wasn't convinced I had to have it.
COLOR: pink, similar to Naked Flushed
HIGHLIGHTING EFFECTS: metallic, no sparkle, medium to high notice-ability
LONGEVITY: survives whole day
YELLOW UNDERTONED GALS: goes nicely on my skintone*
APPLICATION: few dots, then buffing with a synthetic, very flexible brush
AMOUNT YOU GET: I thought it'll be smaller, it's quite big, will last me 3 lifetimes
PACKAGING: cheap and luxurious at the same time, practical, wish it was more like Touche Eclat - like a nail polish bottle, the brush doesn't go all the way down to bottom, not is it flexible enough to touch the inner sides of the container
FOUNDATION: doesn't 'eats-up' the foundation on the places where you blend it in (eg. Inglot's liquid highlighters and blushes remove my underneath foundations); haven't mixed my foundation w/ it (I have oily-combinations skin)
DAY APPROPRIATE: yes
EYE-FRIENDLY: n/a
I like it more than NARS' Copacabana. Copacabana is sheerer, has silver sparkle and is less metallic. High beam is more pigmented, saturated. I would go for high beam, if I had to chose which one to buy.

I don't see why everyone is raving about this highlighter? I think it is too subtle to even notice. I much prefer Benefit's Watts Up cream stick highlighter which gives you a gorgeous golden glow and blends beautifully. I won't be wasting my money on High Beam again.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

This is one of my favorite highlighters now after receiving it in a sample kit with Posetint. It's a milky pink color that is not shimmery or glittery. It's more of a satin highlighter that i find perfect because I am closing in on 40 and do not like that overdone highlight look.
It's very natural and subtle. It looks awesome layered with Posetint. BTW, I own the dupe for this ELF Facial Whip in Lilac and it is spot on. So if you don't wanna spend the money on Benefit, check out the ELF one for $1.

Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral

Easy to apply and give makeup highlight a new name!
Definetely a must-have. Brightens up the whole face drastically. Application is also easy and blends well. I love using high beam as my brow bone highlighter too.

Skin: Normal, Fair-Medium, Cool
Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine

I love this stuff. Works well on my light skin. I use a tiny bit under my eyes and blend it down into my blush. That really helps give me that air brush, dewy look. I also use it on my brow bone. I don't find it to be sparkly or too shimmery. Doesn't give me a frosted look either. It just gives me a little bit of light right where I need it. Good stuff and lasts through the day.

for some reason I kept buying these benefit liquid tints and complexion highlighters until I now have them all. I thought there must be something great that they cost so much. ...unless u don't use any foundations this doesn't really do anything because putting powder over covers it up and putting it over powder or liquid foundation ruins your finish.

What to Do with a Split Lip
A cut? A wide gaping gash? What do you do with it?
From personal experience, unfortunatly there is not much you can do about it.
Unless your lip is hanging off your face because it is so split, then the chances are you will not get stitches, or anything for that matter. You will have to suck it up for a few days, plus some vaseline or polysporin on it and try not to smile and split it further.
Why is this you may ask? Any other part of your body with a gash in it would easily require stitched, why not your lip? Well because there are hundreds of little blood vessels that run through your lips and enough nerve ending that it will heal at remarkable speed. With the helpful power of your own saliva and the team of blood vessels working on your cut you should be good to go in no time. This healing that goes on in your mouth and around your lips is incredible and the doctors like to take advantage of this and let it naturally repair itself. You may not be quite so appriciative as your lip sits there sliced right open, but if you care to take notice, your body will do a fantastic job getting it healed in no time.

The liver is the chemical factory of the body: it stores and releases energy and minerals, makes bile and controls fat absorption. It also makes proteins, vitamins and hormones, regulates blood clotting, filters blood and breaks down waste products. A blood test can show problems with various of these processes, indicating what illness is causing the problems.
The reason why patients with liver disease itch is not known, although it is commonly believed that some substances accumulate in the blood as a result of a poorly functioning liver and thus cause itching. A simple blood test can exclude liver disease as a cause for the itching, as liver enzymes are often elevated with liver involvement.

Practicing ArchitectureAwards
2010 AIA Education Honor Awards Program
The American Institute of Architects announces the Education Honor Awards to recognize the achievement of individuals who serve the profession as outstanding teachers. The awards celebrate excellence in architecture education as demonstrated in classroom, studio, and/or community work, or in courses offered in various educational settings. All courses, initiatives, or programs completed within the last five years and that have not previously received an AIA Education Honor Award are eligible for consideration.
"The projects encompass all scales of

Jeffrey Huber, UACDC Director, Adjunct Asst. Professor
Aaron Gabriel, Former UACDC Director, Adjunct Asst. Professor
University of Arkansas Community Design Center (UACDC)
In Porchscapes, the studio objective was to design a demonstration project that combines affordability with best environmental practices as designated by the U.S. Green Building Council. Located in the Ozark Plateau, this forty-three unit housing development is a pilot LEED-ND (Neighborhood Development) project to be built for $60/sf plus $2.3 million in infrastructure costs.
For the student contribution to this project, Porchscapes was offered as an elective studio to fourth and fifth
As part of an interdisciplinary team of architects, landscape architects, and civil engineering professionals, the architecture students developed neighborhood plans and house prototypes for small-lot groupings. The challenge was to create a high-value, green neighborhood from modest one-story structures (to be built by volunteer community labor) at double the density of surrounding four-unit per acre zoning. Collaborating ecological engineering students modeled pre-development hydrological inputs and designed the LID infrastructure mentioned above with calculations culminating in a five hundred page drainage report. Collaboration methodology followed a green neighborhood pattern, or transect, integrating "context-production" components (i.e. house, porch, yard, street, open space), which would otherwise be developed and financed autonomously. After the design was completed, the project received development permits, and has already received national awards in architecture, engineering, landscape architecture, and the ecological sciences. The team is in the process of publishing a supplementary LID Manual for Urban Areas for adoption by the state's natural resources commission.
The goals of the studio and program were extensive: establishing awareness of LEED-ND and Low Impact Development (LID) planning principles, and their implications for architectural development of buildings; providing affordable housing types that embody LEED-ND standards with particular attention towards enhancing environmental and social capital in neighborhood development; establishing new design competencies in "context-production" where aspects like finance, ecology, sociology, and engineering become part of the architect's awareness; and successfully completing work products that outline a precedent analysis for neighborhood systems and housing typologies at a design development level, along with completion of publications to be used to enhance design intelligence in the future.
The student studio consisted of two major parts: Part I: Precedent Analysis: Patios, Courts, and Terraces, and Part II: Neighborhood Patterns and House Design for LEED-ND. In the first part students collectively researched housing pattern languages and their connectivity to create shared streetscapes (breezeways, patios, etc.). "Activity Diagrams" were employed to study frameworks of living that connect interior/exterior, public/private, architecture/landscape, and pedestrian/automobile. Building from this, the second part of the semester required each student to employ affordable housing planning metrics and LEED-ND criteria to design one-story prototypes (free-standing and attached) as neighborhood building components to be reconciled with the LID network. Connectivity between structures proved to be a crucial idea. The four LEED-ND principals that informed this neighborhood development were density/compactness (average 7 or more units per acre), walk-able streets (front facades face public spaces like parks and plazas), street network/ access to public space and energy efficiency/ solar orientation.
In order to meet affordability demands while upholding design quality, the emphasis eventually shifted from the house itself to neighborhood infrastructure, with special respect to house frontages―porches, screened rooms, loggias, terraces, and patios. Students focused investigations on frontage standards as these components may define street space, using singular house forms without dormers, gables, and other additive volumes (for affordability purposes). The studio developed a frontage "kit-of-parts" that allowed each dwelling unit to exhibit its own unique traits in a context of "Porchscapes;" no two units are exactly alike. Patios, for instance, can be plugged onto porch edges and coupled with a neighboring unit to create micro streetscapes.
Though architecture students did not fully execute the neighborhood plan, their types were responsible for projecting fabric rules (e.g. inside/outside relations, automobile's fit on site, site massing and building frontage strategies) to which other professionals responded. Architecture and ecological engineering students worked iteratively on their respective neighborhood components along with teaching and practicing design professionals, as well as the clients. The final proposal resulted in a new city LID code committee and the formation of a knowledge community of local stakeholders around the issue of LID and new street types.

County Political Party Leaders Weigh in on Turnout for Primaries
Posted By News On June 17, 2010 @ 6:29 am In Today's Local News | Comments Disabled
As previously reported by KNIA/KRLS News, voter turnout by Marion County residents during last week's primary election was stronger than expected for a primarily, but what stood out most was the lopsided spread between Republican and Democratic ballots. Of the ballots cast, 86 percent where Republican, and only 8 percent of Marion County Democrats went to the polls.
District 71 Democratic candidate Pat Van Zante says she felt the Republican base was energized by primary elections with multiple candidates, but says the Democratic party remains more focused on the November general election. Van Zante added that she felt the Democratic party is more concerned with moving the state and nation forward to address the problems of jobs, fair wages and the economy; rather than have multiple candidates run for election to a single position.
Irene Blom, Republican Party Chairperson for the county, says even with 42 percent of Marion County Republicans casting a ballot, the party will still need to work on gathering votes by November 2nd if they hope to have their candidates elected to office. Blom says there is concern that many local Republicans will not support Terry Branstad in the Governor's race, and choose to sit out or vote for another candidate. She says the impending announcement on who Branstad will select to run as Lieutenant Governor will be key to prompting Marion County Republicans to vote.

Since the Earth has a moon, and Saturn has more than 60, here's a good question: does Mercury have moons? Unfortunately, the answer is no, Mercury has no moons.
But if moons are so common in the Solar System, and even Pluto, which is smaller than Mercury has moons, why doesn't Mercury have moons?
The Earth got its moon when a Mars-sized object crashed into our planet, and the debris collected into the Moon. It's possible that a similar impact happened to Mercury early on in its history. But the moon would have either drifted away or crashed back down onto the surface, because it's not there anymore.
Mars got its two moons, Phobos and Deimos by capturing asteroids. This is more likely for Mars because it's near the asteroid belt. There aren't as many asteroids near Mercury as there are near Mars.
Finally, Pluto probably captured its moons smallest moons, Nix and Hydra, when they strayed to close. These moons are icy bodies that would behave like comets if they got too close to the Sun. They wouldn't last long in the inner Solar System.
And so, the answer to the question: does Mercury have any moons… is no.
For a time in the early 1970s, astronomers thought the Mercury might have a moon. Instruments on board NASA's Mariner 10 spacecraft detected large amounts of ultraviolet radiation that astronomers said, "had no right to be there". And then the next day, that radiation disappeared. Some astronomers thought that this was radiation was coming from a moon. It was later discovered to be a more distant star.
We've written several articles for Universe Today about Mercury. Here's an article about the gravity on Mercury, and here are some facts on Mercury.
If you'd like more info on Mercury, check out NASA's Solar System Exploration Guide, and here's a link to NASA's MESSENGER Misson Page.
We've also recorded an episode of Astronomy Cast all about Mercury. Listen here, Episode 49: Mercury.
