Fabric Aficionado Headlines Kitsap Quilt Show
One look at Pat Rosenthal's Gig Harbor work room proves the maxim: creative minds are seldom tidy.
Hers is a riot of color and whimsey, with tables and shelves stacked with fabric, and sequins, beads, laces and feathers spilling from tiny boxes.
There even are jars filled with the last bits of fabric from her handmade quilts.
We're talking postage stamp-size scraps and threads trimmed from the seams. She calls them "crumb jars."
No scrap is too small, she maintains, and you never know when a few strands of metallic thread will come in handy. She runs a fingernail over a quilter's trading card — yes, just like a sports card — where a swirl of errant metallic thread embellishes a 2 1/2 by 3 1/2-inch piece of fabric she's turned into a miniature work of art.
It's one of more than a hundred items she'll display this weekend as the featured artist at the West Sound Quilters annual show, held at the Kitsap County Fairgrounds.
Her offerings will range from elegant, full-size quilts to silly stuffed figures she calls "Bad Hair Day" dolls, anti-aging dolls with various maladies visible on the body, modest-sized wall hangings, the trading cards she's selling for $1 apiece as a fundraiser for the LaConner quilt museum, handcrafted lapel pins and quilted labyrinth meditation squares encrusted with sequins, feathers or even shells from Washington beaches.
She becomes animated, her hands caressing the fabric on a quilt she's just finished, as she talks about her love of quilting.
"I love color and am addicted to fabric," she says. "My mind just never stops. I have tons of ideas and I'll never run out of projects."
She began her first quilt in 1968, but didn't finish it until 1975. Now quilting is in her blood.
"I make quilts because I can't stop making them."
She's been sewing since before she could reach the pedal on her mom's ancient treadle sewing machine at age 5.
She and her husband, a retired veterinarian, love to travel and it's influenced her designs, along with her wicked sense of humor.
Over the years she's collected witty sayings, beginning with a pithy one from Bella Abzug, scribbling them on paper and tucking them away in her purse or shoving them into drawers. She found a use for them in an award-winning quilt she named, "Adam Was a Rough Draft."
She's incorporated sayings like, "Men have always been afraid women could get along without them," and Nancy Astor's comment, "I married beneath me — all women do!" on squares in the quilt for the show, "It Seams Funny to Me."
Men seldom think it's funny, but women are delighted.
One of her favorites represents a trip taken by she and her mother and husband. It started out to be a quick trip through the Greek Islands, but eventually they ended up spending five weeks. She asked people they met along the way to sign quilt squares she could incorporate into a quilt to commemorate the trip for her mother.
A Greek man who spoke no English, but talked incessantly to her mother as he drove her in a donkey-driven cart to where the Olympic Games first were played, signed his name, then drew a picture of his donkey and the cart. Someone else drew objects from Egypt and she added a scarab.
"The entire quilt is a wonderful reminder of that trip and is especially precious now that my mom is gone," she says.
There's a serious side to Rosenthal, as evidenced by a flag wall hanging created just after Sept. 11, 2001. The white stripes on the flag were created from fabric imprinted with the Pledge of Allegiance and the red stripes were fashioned from bits of red cloth in all sorts of patterns, piled on top of one another to create a "rough" texture. The field of stars was from the Pledge of Allegiance fabric showing through a blue field.
When there is a spirited auction, she's been known to approach the unsuccessful bidder after she's lost the bid and offer to create another quilt within one month, just for her.
She said it's not hard to part with her quilts.
"When you create something of beauty you step outside of yourself," she says. "And when you give it away, a part of you is out there."

With the third-installment of "Iron Man" hitting US theaters on Friday (May 3), the stars from the exciting action flick teamed up for Entertainment Weekly's Iron Giants issue.
It's no secret that expectations were high for the third installment of the "Iron Man" franchise, but ticket sales in China have far exceeded Marvel's wildest hopes.
According to a report, "Iron Man 3" now holds the title of biggest opening day ever in China's history thanks to $21.5 million in earnings.
Promoting his new superhero blockbuster, Robert Downey Jr rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday (April 30).
The "Iron Man 3" star wore a gray tweed jacket, pink tie and gray pants as he high-fived a man dressed in an Iron Man costume.
Though it has yet to hit theaters in the U.S., "Iron Man 3" is already breaking records overseas. The movie's Italian debut this past weekend set a record as the most successful April opening ever in the country.
Though the nation's cinema sector may be shrinking, the superhero sequel pulled in a record $11.3 million.
Stepping out to promote their newest flick, Robert Downey, Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow headed to the Los Angeles premiere of "Iron Man 3" at the El Capitan Theatre on Wednesday (April 24).
With its big screen debut just over a week away, a new television spot for "Iron Man 3" was released on Monday (April 22).
The tale of Tony Stark aka Iron Man, stars Robert Downey, Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Rebecca Hall, and Guy Pearce.
He's an endless ball of energy, and Robert Downey Jr. was on top of his game as usual at a special screening of "Iron Man 3" in London, England today (April 18).
Showing some love to their English fans, Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow showed up at the "Iron Man 3" photocall in London today (April 17).
The "Running with Scissors" starlet and the "Tropic Thunder" hunk looked to be having a blast as they hammed it up for the shutterbugs outside The Dorchester Hotel prior to the big premiere.

A sense of deja vu: Gregson shines at Sydney Track Classic
- Details
- Created: Sunday, 28 February 2010 02:16
Showing tactical wisdom beyond his years - he does not turn 20 until April - Gregson sat in third place behind the pacemaker with splits at the finishing line of 41.92s, 1:41.24 (59.32) and 2:41.69 (60.45) before the pace quickened over the final lap. Judging his run to the finishing line perfectly by sitting on the shoulder of Australian 10000m record holder Collis Birmingham until the final straight, Gregson covered the final lap in a classy 53.73 seconds to record a new personal best of 3:35.42.
Gregson admitted that he had grown a lot as an athlete in the past year, especially through a European summer which opened his eyes to the harsh realities of top class miling.
"My fastest time before this was a year ago. I raced a lot of 1500m's in between that in the past year, but it is so hard to find the perfect race where the pace is perfect and you've got people around you," Gregson said.
"Some of these races last year in Europe they were winning in 3:30 and that was way too far out of my level and I was way out the back and wasn't competitive.
"It might take a year to improve my time again but its about being consistent, running consistently fast times, and the breakthrough will come."
As if evidence of his own prophesy, the stars aligned tonight for such a breakthrough with a virtual home crowd (Gregson lives an hour south of Sydney in Wollongong) spurring him on into the top ten on the Australian all-time list - ninth in fact, ahead of 1960 Olympic gold medallist Herb Elliott (3:35.6).
"It was just one of those dream nights. Sydney always seems to put it on, perfect summer nights," said Gregson.
The performance was a meet record, surpassing the 3:35.74 run by 2000 Olympic gold medallist Noah Ngeny in 1999.
"If I had gone at the bell I probably would have been a bit tired with 200m to go and Collis might have had a chance to come back because he is so strong. Because he is such a good runner I wanted to go as late as possible so that he wouldn't have a chance to respond."
"Collis is coming from the 5km end and I'm coming from the 800m end, so that's the advantage of having that bit of extra speed, but if you boosted it up to the 3km he would beat me by 100m, so that's the difference."
Despite being slightly unsure of his travel plans before the race - for the first time Gregson came down from the altitude of his Falls Creek training base only a day before the race - he was confident in his training preparation.
"I was actually a bit worried. Some people call it altitude sickness - they are used to having no air up there and then have too much air down here and their lungs can't adjust. But then again, Falls Creek is only 1600m, so who knows if that is even high enough to work," he said.
"I don't know the science really behind it but I thought that it take about a week for the altitude to work. Apparently, if anything it affects you if you race the day after because of the shock with the different air because the lungs take a while to adjust.
"I don't know that the altitude would have made me run much faster - it will probably make me run faster next week."
Perhaps more so than the questionable altitude effect, Gregson's faith laid in the work that he was doing at the winter ski resort come summer distance running retreat.
"In the last two weeks I haven't done any shorter stuff," he said.
"The shortest rep I did was 1km. 1km reps, threshold runs and hills for the past couple of weeks, but for the previous three weeks before that I did one session a week at race pace like this and was knocking some 200's out in 23 seconds and things like that just to get some speed there.
"People think that you need all of the short stuff to run quick but I think that if you're strong. I must be naturally pretty quick, so I mainly need to work on the longer end."
Gregson's next race will be in Melbourne on Thursday over 800m, where he will face the fourth fastest athlete in history at the distance, David Rudisha. Rudisha warmed up for that race with a creditable third place in the 400m tonight, clocking 45.50 seconds.
"He can run 45 (seconds for 400m) so he is going to go through in, say, 50 (seconds). But my 400m PB is not much quicker than 50... I ran 1:47.06 up in the Hunter where I negatively split," Gregson said.
"If you're going to run a fast 800m the first lap is usually a couple of seconds faster than the first, so if I can go somewhere around 51-high to 52 and run a 53 second last lap that should put me around 1:46."

A Very Happy Bird Day!
A couple of weeks ago I treated myself to a few new Duncraft bird feeders. I got them home, filled them with seed, and waited for the birds to come. I waited, and waited, and waited. After ten minutes I gave up in despair of ever seeing a bird at my feeders. I'm not very patient, even though I know (and tell our customers) that it can take a few weeks for birds to start visiting a new feeder. You can imagine my excitement on Christmas Day when I saw a hairy woodpecker and 3 downy woodpeckers investigating my Duncraft Suet Sanctuary filled with Nutty Treat Suet Cakes. That was the best present I could have asked for!
Yesterday my husband was very excited to report that my feeders were covered with birds but he wasn't sure what kind. "Maybe some sort of sparrowy things," he thought. Sparrowy? This morning I was just ready to head out to work and the birds were back. To my absolute delight, the sparrowy birds turned out to be a flock of about 25 common redpolls. They zipped in and out through the mesh of the Suet Sanctuary and the Duncraft Metal Safe Haven and had a quick nosh before quickly heading on to their next stop. The next time they come through I'll look more carefully to see if I can spot a hoary redpoll or a few pine siskins in the flock.
Redpolls breed in subarctic forests and open tundra and then head south to winter in Canada and the northern United States, Great Britain, and northern Europe. Their favored foods are the seeds from birch, alder, willow, and weeds. Redpolls are one of the smallest birds to winter in the far north, and they have adapted ingeniously to survival in their harsh northern climate. The redpoll has a small pouch in the neck called an esophageal diverticulum. The birds gather seeds and store them in this pouch. Then they fly off to a sheltered spot where they can husk and eat the seeds, protected from icy winds and predators. The pouch holds enough food to get the bird through the night, even at temperatures as low as -81 degrees Fahrenheit.
Life in the North can have its drawbacks but it's hard to complain when you think of the amazing wildlife we get to enjoy. It would be wonderful to hear stories from our readers around the country – what kinds of birds are you seeing in New Mexico or Florida or Minnesota? Please share your reports of your winter visitors! You can simply leave a comment in the field below the blog, or send me an email at email@example.com. We would love to hear from you!
Make every day a Happy Bird Day!
Heidi BabbFounded in 1952 and located in Concord, New Hampshire, Duncraft's objective is to bring the joy of backyard birding to wild bird lovers all across the country.

Recommend guitarists similar to Kaki King.
I am newly hooked on Kaki King. What other offbeat virtuoso(ish) acoustic guitarists in the same vein would you recommend (can be old or new, but with the same lighthearted spirit as KK)? Lip piercing optional.
Trip Hop
Trip Hop (or downtempo or whatever): I love Tricky, Massive Attack, Hooverphonic, Portishead, Laika, Lamb, Sneaker Pimps, Martina, etc. What other, new acts have a similar sort of dark, humid and metallic aftertaste?
Healthy oil?
What's the healthiest type of cooking oil? I do a lot of faux-Indian / Thai / whatever cooking (think a big wok with lots of turmeric and pepper) and, being on a low cal diet, usually just use water or a drop of olive oil to stir things in. I would like to be able to use more oil, but don't know which, if any, could be considered healthy. Googled, but haven't found a comprehensive non-biased source yet.

Lawmaker urges ban on use of hand-held phones while driving
State Rep. Joseph Markosek, D-Monroeville, is pressing for passage of legislation to ban the use of handheld devices while driving, citing a recent report by the Governors Highway Safety Association that crash deaths are increasing among teen drivers.
"Too many young people are killed by car accidents each year. Despite the current law prohibiting texting while driving, six Pennsylvania teen drivers were killed in the first six months of 2012," he said in a release.
"Our current ban on texting while driving is a step in the right direction, but it is inadequate to protect people from drivers, especially teens, distracted by handheld devices. People of all ages should have their hands on the wheel and be focused on the road when they are driving."
See www.ghsa.org for the full report.
About 45 Port Authority bus routes serving Downtown and the Strip District will see temporary stop changes, and detoured or shortened routes during the St. Patrick's Day Parade on Saturday. Routes serving the Strip District will be detoured as early as 7:30 a.m., with other detours starting around 9 a.m. Regular stops and routing are expected to be restored around 2:30 p.m. South Side and South Hills bus routes will terminate at Station Square, where riders continuing into Downtown can transfer to the T for free. Second Avenue bus service will terminate at First Avenue Station and Oakland-Hill District-Penn Hills routes will terminate near Steel Plaza Station. All T rides within Downtown are free. The 28X Airport Flyer will not serve Downtown during the parade. Riders may take the T to Station Square to catch the detoured 28X. P1 East Busway-All Stops riders must pick up their route at Penn Station during the parade.
Most of Yellow Cab's fleet of more than 300 taxis will be on the streets during the celebration. The company is urging revelers to refrain from drinking and driving. Police and PennDOT say patrols and DUI enforcement will be stepped up over the weekend.
Port Authority and the city of Pittsburgh will resume work on Warrington Avenue in Beltzhoover at 7 a.m. Monday, affecting vehicle traffic, bus routes, parking and sidewalks through Aug. 30. Work will occur on one side of the street at a time and in sections, with detours shifting as the area of impact changes. The work that starts Monday will affect Warrington between Estella and Beltzhoover avenues. Around mid-June, work will shift to the area between Beltzhoover and Arlington avenues.
A $12.9 million project to replace the bridges that carry Route 30 over Electric Avenue in North Braddock will resume Monday as crews focus on the westbound bridge this year. The eastbound bridge was replaced last season. Starting at 7 a.m. Monday, traffic will be restricted to one lane in both directions during work on a crossover. When it is completed, possibly on Wednesday, westbound traffic will cross to the eastbound side, with single-lane traffic in both directions using the new bridge through late October. Footnote: starting March 25, the ramp from eastbound Route 30 to eastbound Electric Avenue will have overnight closures starting at 7 p.m. daily through late April, reopening by 6 a.m. daily.
Traffic on Saxonburg Boulevard at the bridge over Deer Creek just north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Indiana Township will be restricted at times from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays starting Monday and continuing through April 5, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announced.
Relocation of gas lines for an upcoming bridge replacement project will limit traffic to an alternating one-way pattern, controlled by flag crews. When the replacement project starts in late spring, traffic will be detoured, according to PennDOT.
Inspection of bridges and overhead signs will cause periodic lane closures on the outbound Parkway West between the Fort Pitt Tunnels and Parkway Center from 7:30 a.m. to noon Saturday. That work will continue at other locations along the parkway next week, with all closures occurring overnight after 10 p.m. and before 5 a.m.
The inbound Liberty Tunnel will be restricted to single-lane traffic from 10 p.m. Wednesday through 5 a.m. Thursday for maintenance.
Wallace City Road in New Sewickley will be closed starting Monday for replacement of the bridge over the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The five-mile detour uses Routes 989, 68 and 1028. The project is scheduled for completion Oct. 25.
Traffic on Route 422 will be reduced to a single lane in both directions at the Interstate 79 interchange in Muddycreek, Butler County, starting today and continuing through the construction season as work continues on replacement of the I-79 bridges there. I-79 already is restricted to a single lane in both directions. The project will continue through late 2014 with a break next winter.
Work on Elizabeth-Glassport Road/Lincoln Boulevard in Glassport, Lincoln and Elizabeth Township will cause lane closures at times from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. weekdays starting Monday and continuing through mid-June, from Wall Street in Glassport to Lovedale Road in Elizabeth Township.
Inspections will cause lane closures on Route 65 between the West End and McKees Rocks bridges from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Repairs to the bridge that carries Plum Street over Plum Creek in Verona and Oakmont will start Monday. The bridge is east of Allegheny River Boulevard near the intersection with Dark Hollow Road. Alternating one-way traffic will occur at times from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays through the end of March.
Early heads-up: announcing work on the $3.9 million expansion project at Broughton and Baptist roads in Bethel Park will resume April 1, weather permitting. Starting at 7 a.m. that day, and continuing around the clock through mid-October, eastbound Broughton Road will be closed from Paxton to Sansue drives, the same closure as during last year's work. The detour follows Route 88, Route 51, Brownsville and Curry Hollow roads. Westbound Broughton Road will have one lane open between Paxton and Sansue. Baptist Road will remain open. This project will be completed in the fall.
Overhead sign inspections will cause lane closures at times from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at various places this week. The schedule, per PennDOT:
Monday — Route 51 in both directions in the area of the Liberty Tunnels interchange; southbound Route 51 in Jefferson Hills. Tuesday — Route 51 in both directions in the area of the Liberty Tunnels interchange. Wednesday — Saw Mill Run Boulevard in both directions in the area of the north end of the West End Bridge; inbound Route 65 approaching the Fort Duquesne Bridge. Thursday — inbound Veterans Bridge; outbound Route 65 between the West End Bridge and the Marshall Avenue interchange; Route 65 outbound at I-79 in Glenfield. Friday — outbound Veterans Bridge.
Short-term lane closures are possible on Route 22 at the bridges over Potato Garden Road in North Fayette from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday.
PennDOT has changed the closure point for a bridge project on Prestley Road in Collier to improve access to businesses and churches. Here are the particulars:
Traffic on the bridge being replaced over Chartiers Creek near Thoms Run Road is currently reduced to an alternating one-way pattern controlled by temporary traffic signals. Due to safety concerns with traffic backing through the intersection, Prestley Road has been closed to through traffic from the south (Route 50) since March 11, remaining open from Thoms Run Road only for local access to businesses and churches in the area.
Based on public input, PennDOT has relocated the barrier on Prestley Road to allow access to Journey Assembly of God Church and St. Barbara's Church from Route 50-Bridgeville. Through traffic, with the exception of school buses, is still not permitted.
At Cavanaugh Landscaping, the entrance from Thoms Run Road will be for large truck deliveries only; the entrance from south/Route 50 will be for customers only, no large trucks.
St. Barbara Church has two parking lot entrances. The northern entrance will have access from Thoms Run Road and the other from south/Route 50. Traveling between the entrances will not be permitted. Journey Assembly of God Church will have access from the south/Route 50 only. Other businesses in the area, including Lane Construction, Sew EZ Shop, Christoff Farm and Wood Waste Recycling will have access from Thoms Run Road only.

If I have added a
query_property [1] field in my SQLAlchemy Table class, is it possible to narrow down the SELECTed fields?
Here is what I mean.
Suppose my class
Comments has this:
class Comments:
query = Session.query_property()
Then if I do the following:
>>> print Session.query(Comment)
Then SQLAlchemy generates the following query which includes ALL the columns in my
comments table:
SELECT comments.comment_id AS comments_comment_id,
comments.comment AS comments_comment
... more columns ...
FROM comments
But I want to narrow down this query and select only (let's say) the
comment field as in the following construct:
>>> print Session.query(Comment.comment)
SELECT comments.comment AS comments_comment
FROM comments
Is it possible to do this via
Comment.query construct?
I tried the following but it didn't work:
>>> print Comment.query(Comment.comment)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: 'Query' object is not callable
Please help me with an advice.
Thanks, Boda Cydo.

I bought the Safety 1st Alpha Omega Elite simply because it was the only car seat at Sam's Club and it was only $116. All of the ones I saw at Burlington were like $180 and up. It is very big though. It fits perfectly in my Jeep, but it doesn't fit at all in DH's '93 4Runner. I think people would have trouble fitting it in a small car as well. It does RF, FF, and turns into a booster too though. I think the weight limit is like 100lbs.

Maryland Cops To Be Trained On US Constitution After Illegally Arresting Protesters
Pro-life demonstrators, including teenage girls, were strip searched, shackled by officers who said they could "rot" in cells
Steve Watson
State police in Maryland have been ordered to undergo training on the First and Fourth Amendments following a 2008 incident during which 18 pro-life protesters were arrested, shackled and strip searched.
The incident occured when members of the group Defend Life peacefully demonstrated on public property in Hartford County in August, 2008, as part of their "Face the Truth" campaign.
Around a dozen State officers arrived on the scene and told the protesters that they did not have a permit and would be arrested unless they packed up and left.
When asked what specific ordinance said the demonstrators needed a permit to protest, one officer responded "I'm not getting into it at five o'clock at night… I'm a State police officer, I know the law – THAT'S IT."
Part of the incident was captured on film.
Attorneys with the anti-arbortion groups the Alliance Defense Fund (ADF), the Thomas More Society of Chicago, and the American Catholic Lawyers Association revealed that after their arrest, the protesters, including women and young girls, one as young as 14, were put into leg shackles and strip searched twice, while being denied the right to make phone calls, and make contact with lawyers. The protesters were kept in jail overnight.
Reports indicate that the first strip search took place in the police station parking lot in full view of male officers. The second strip search was conducted at the Harford County Detention Center
Life Site News reports
that The Maryland Board of Public Works voted Wednesday to settle the lawsuit that has been ongoing ever since. As part of the settlement in the case, the state of Maryland will also pay $385,000 to the protesters to cover legal fees.
When the county confirmed that there is no requirement for a "permit" as the protesters had been told, they were instead charged with loitering, disorderly conduct and failure to obey a lawful order. All the charges were dropped after one week.
Attorney Tom Brejcha revealed that the real reason for the arrests stemmed from a classic case of "heckler's veto," a violation of the First Amendment.
"we netted a harvest of police phone and radio call transcripts, which showed the reason for the arrests were complaints from the public, members of whom were upset about the content of the [pro-life protesters'] signs." said Brejcha.
Brejcha also revealed that following the arrests, one police officer stated over the radio that as far as she was concerned the protesters could "sit in a cell for an hour"¦ or three or four and rot."
"There was a lot of hard feelings and animus against the pro-life position on the part of many of these arresting officers, including at the supervisory level." Brejcha said.
Brejcha added that the case had taken four years to settle as it was "vigorously defended by the municipalities and the state police."
The town of Bel Air and Hartford county agreed to settlements with the protesters last year.
The ADF has issued a statement noting "Under the terms of the settlement, Maryland State Police cannot issue countywide dispersal orders against peaceful pro-life speakers, cannot illegally arrest pro-life speakers who are exercising their constitutionally protected free speech and assembly rights, must provide acceptable reasons for asking any speakers to move, must provide speakers with the opportunity to move before threatening anyone with arrest, cannot censor constitutionally protected messages and images on signs, and must participate in training on rights protected by the First and Fourth amendments to the U.S. Constitution,".
The Thomas More Society
issued a press release that stated "While we applaud the settlement, we remain appalled by the illegal behavior of the Maryland State Police. We sincerely believe that with a better understanding of the First Amendment and a newfound respect for citizen protests, the Maryland State Police will strive hereafter to protect all the rights bestowed on individuals by the U.S. Constitution,"

Coming to the Sonoma Coast every year for the past 25 years I dreamed of someday calling this amazing area home. So in 2011 the search began... Christmas Eve 2010 we decided to pack up the dog and take a road trip to check out the home as soon as it was listed. It was in total disrepair from years of neglect. The outside of the house from the roof down was rotten. The inside was better, but required much work. I loved the layout and location of the home...and decided to accept the challenge. Two years of work and a lot of weekends later... The Bay View is now a cozy coastal retreat. It has been a true labor of love.
Left on Mar 20, 2013 for a stay in February 2013
We knew Bodega Bay would be gorgeous and, from the photos and reviews, we knew Bay View would likely be perfect for our holiday weekend vacation. What we didn't know was exactly how much the thought the owners have put into the "little things" in the house. Little things like extra toothbrushes under the bathroom sink (I forgot mine), a pizza cutter in the kitchen, the pellet stove being stocked …

It's funny how a set list can make or break a music game. In the case of the recently released Guitar Modern Hits for Nintendo DS ($29.99), the set list is a bit random -- and gets boring quite quickly.
AFI's "Miss Murder" appears again, for what seems like the bazillionth time in a video game, while other songs, including Evanescence's "Sweet Sacrifice," Coldplay's "Violet Hill" and Angels & Airwaves' "Call to Arms," are just downright dull to play. Add to it that you have to play these songs multiple times as "Fan Requests" to advance through the career mode and you've got a genuine gaming dud.
If it's any consolation, you can play a majority of the songs in quickplay. (Click here for a look at the unique way to play this game on the handheld system).
Meanwhile, Guitar Hero Smash Hits (pictured) is available for Playstation 2 and 3, Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii ($49.99-$59.99) and has a great set list, as it's a compilation of past Guitar Hero entries.
It would have been nice to see the songs added as downloadable content instead of as a full release, but it is nice to have some of the early songs available only on Playstation 2 back in the mix again.
The game includes tunes from all Guitar Hero entries, excluding Metallica and the upcoming Van Halen game. It's a solid, lively batch of tunes, including Incubus' "Stellar," a live version of Pantera's "Cowboys from Hell" and "Through the Fire and Flames" by Dragonforce.
All songs have been updated to be played with a full band. With no new Rock Band release slated until the Beatles' ballyhooed edition arrives on Sept. 9 alongside their remastered catalog, Smash Hits may prove to be the party game of the summer.

If you're like most people who live with this fear, you probably wonder if you can ever be rid of it. After 10 years working with people with the most severe phobias, we have never met a case of fear of poverty that could not be overcome.
If you are ready to put this behind you once and for all, here's what we offer at CTRN:
- Fear of poverty better or gone in as little as a day
- Utter discretion

Home-Study Program: Vanquish Fear & Anxiety

One-on-One 'VIP' Program
Personalized Program Developed with Own Practitioner
• Flexible Appointments with Board-Certified Practitioner
• Sophisticated Suite of Techniques to Remove Underlying Fear
How CTRN Programs Work
Bottom line? Your subconscious mind needs to be re-trained. Consciously, you know your fear of poverty doesn't make logical sense. If it did everyone would have it. The reason the fear continues is because the subconscious has connected it to a wave of dominant negative feelings which occur automatically when you even think of poverty.
Up to now, you have not had the techniques to reprogram those connections or feelings, so they feel out of control. We'll help you learn this simple system to make the fear history. Isn't it time you took control?
- Want to discuss your options? Contact Us Now Contact Us Now >
What You Need to Know About Treatments and Cures
Here's the thing, our system does not treat or cure your fear. As much as we'd like to wave a magic wand and 'cure' you, it's actually up to you to change how you feel. We're going to walk you through the process that helps you re-program that tricky subconscious thinking.
The methods in our program will teach clear-cut steps toward gaining self-belief, peace and joy, as well as proven procedures to conquer your negative emotions. You know what living with your fear has done to your quality of life. Are you ready to interrupt the cycle of destructive thinking?
Vanquish Fear of Poverty Today.
Where Your Fear of Poverty Comes From
In most cases, Fear Of Poverty (although not always) is triggered by an extremely negative encounter from the past. The fear can be manufactured by the brain, in some circumstances, with seemingly no foundation. The answer if to uncover the deep-down source and replace those negative connections with positive ones. People who are at the greatest risk include:
• Those with a tendency to feel anxious and panicky
• Ones who are characterized as 'high-strung'
• If you experience adrenal insufficiency

Or, see what the media has to say.
Tests, Symptoms & Diagnosis
You can use our two minute Fear of Poverty Online Test to determine the problem's severity, but it's really pretty simple: The time to act is now, if this phobia is causing negativity in your life.
- By simply thinking about Poverty, do you become woozy?
- Do your palms get clammy and your mouth feel like cotton?
- Does your heart beat like a drum?
- Do you feel as though you are unable to stand?
Those were only a handful of examples of the feelings you might suffer. If you want to understand more about the symptoms of Fear Of Poverty, click here.
We help you with the symptoms, as well as find out the basis for them. This is what CTRN is all about
Drugs & Medication
The use of drugs and medication for Fear of Poverty is not encouraged in our program because they generally mask the problem, rather than tackling the cause. A pill can sometimes act as a quick fix and may seem to help briefly but will not allow you to be free of the fear.
By the way – no one has ever developed a drug exclusively for Fear Of Poverty – so it's hard to justify popping a pill as a healthy solution with all the uncertainty that surrounds potential side effects.
The good news is using our methods, you'll overcome Fear Of Poverty, without the use of any meds..

Mt. Pleasant Township man earns prominent post at Duquesne University
When Fairchance native Jason Broadwater caught rides home from his father after classes at St. John the Evangelist Regional Catholic School in Uniontown, Tom Broadwater Sr. often had the radio tuned to the afternoon talk shows.
"He'd have KDKA-AM on, and whoever was on would always be talking about politics or some other important topic," said Broadwater, 32, who today lives in Mt. Pleasant Township with his wife, township native Rachael (Bell) Broadwater, and the couple's 3-year-old son, Jackson.
"I didn't always fully understand what people were talking about, and sometimes it would turn into a screaming match, but just that ability to connect with people on air really interested me," he said.
Broadwater's fascination with the field of media communications has driven him in his educational and career choices.
It also contributed to his recent appointment as assistant dean of Duquesne University's McAnulty College and Graduate School of Liberal Arts, he said.
"I definitely have to give credit to my dad. He still listens to those talk shows, and that got me interested in journalism and in working with people at an early age," Broadwater said.
In his new position, Broadwater leads the college's student recruitment and marketing efforts, as well as its print and web communication and social media practices.
"A lot of what I do involves managing the university's social media presence, including Facebook and Twitter, and managing its website. That all goes hand-in-glove with recruitment of graduate and undergraduate students ... everything I've done has sort of centered around admissions," he said.
"Actually, all the positions I've had in higher education compliment what I am doing now," he said.
Geibel student mixes well with peers
Coming up through Geibel Catholic Junior-Senior High School, Broadwater's outgoing nature led him to participate in myriad sports, musicals and other high-profile activities.
"I never had a fear of talking to large groups of people," he said. "I actually ended up being the public address announcer for the Geibel basketball team during home games."
It was in that role that Thomasine Rose, the school's dean of operations and planning and mathematics teacher, saw in Broadwater the talents to forge a path in the field of media communications, he said. Broadwater laughingly recalled another reason why Rose may have guided him in that direction.
"Math was never my strength. I think she may have been thinking of that, too," he quipped.
Collegian spends years in newsroom, on-air
Upon graduating from Geibel in 1999, Broadwater set out for Bethany College in Bethany, W.Va.
While there, he became heavily involved with the campus radio station and The Tower, the college's student newspaper.
"The funny part is I get to use some of those skills now," he said.
After graduating from Bethany with a bachelor's degree in communication, Broadwater earned a master's degree in integrated marketing communication from West Virginia University in Morgantown.
He then served as an undergraduate admissions counselor at the university in charge of East Coast recruitment territories.
After that, he was hired as student services coordinator at the university's P.I. Reed School of Journalism, where he taught journalism courses.
He also managed new student recruitment/enrollment, as well as coordinating internships and career management.
Prior to taking his current job at Duquesne, Broadwater worked as director of student and enrollment services at the Penn State Fayette, The Eberly Campus.
While there, he developed print, email and social media recruiting campaigns.
Those efforts contributed to a 23 percent increase in new, first-year baccalaureate enrollments. He also launched an alumni recruitment network and collaborated with new student orientation to further involve first-year students.
A family tragedy leads to another path
Broadwater eventually sought schooling at Duquesne in the master's degree program for counseling when he soon after learned that his younger brother, Andrew, had been diagnosed with osteocarcoma. The cancerous bone tumor usually develops in teenagers, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
"I moved back home because I wanted to help my family care for him," he said.
Andrew Broadwater was treated at Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh for more than a year. He passed away on June 19, 2005. He was 18.
The Broadwaters — including Jason, older brother Tom Jr., Tom Sr. and mother Michelle — subsequently developed the Andy B. Fund through the Pittsburgh Foundation in honor of his late brother.
"My older brother (Tom Jr.) and I, and our parents put our heads together and we decided we wanted to do something," Broadwater said.
"It would have been easy to go into a tailspin and let that moment define us. We decided to make something positive out of it," he said.
The family soon learned of a facility dedicated to the research of osteosarcoma at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.
"We've been fortunate enough to go out there and visit the researchers," Broadwater said.
The fund has raised more than $40,000 for pediatric cancer research, awareness and support.
Such financial support is difficult to acquire since osteocarcoma is lesser-known form of cancer than are others, said Susan Ragg, the facility's lead osteosarcoma researcher.
"Without the effort of families like the Broadwaters, it's hard to get funding for research into understanding why osteocarcoma happens, so their initiative to make people more aware of these rare cancers is very important," Ragg said.
In 2007, the family established the Andy B. Fund Memorial Golf Tournament held each summer at Nemacolin Country Club. Event proceeds go to the IUPUI facility for use.
"Andrew was a big golfer, and the money could be as simple as them funding lab supplies, or hiring another researcher; 100 percent goes to them," Broadwater said. "Generally speaking, it's been very successful."
All the while, Broadwater said he never forgot the time he spent at Duquesne.
"I knew then this place was very special. I always thought to myself, it would nice to come back and work here some day."
Professional aims to evolve in new role
In May, Broadwater spotted the posting for his current job.
With the experience he gained working at Penn State since September 2011, he said he felt ready to take on his new role.
"Actually, all the positions I've had in higher education complement what I am doing now," Broadwater said.
"Duquesne is really hitting its stride, I think the best is yet to come for the university as a whole, I hope to be here for a long time," he said.
As for living locally, Broadwater said he feels he has the best of both worlds.
"When I walk out of my front door, I can see the high school and the mountains," he said. "I've always liked Mt. Pleasant. I always thought it had a really strong sense of community."
Broadwater's father said he's proud of his son, particularly his career accomplishments.
"This last move was a great one for him," Tom Broadwater Sr. said.

I am clueless about freecycle, and I am out of the country for the month of dec into jan.
I have a roll of 35mm 100ISO Ektachrome Electronic Output Film (no can or box) and a roll of 35mm Kodak Rapid Process Copy Film in box exp. 5/2002. Both were found in a cabinet; no idea how old the Ektachrome is. Neither have been stored properly so I'm just giving these away (for cost of postage) in case anyone wants to add them to their collection. I don't care to collect photo supplies that I don't have a use for, but I don't want to throw these away in case anyone wants 'em!
I'm located in East Jordan, MI and will only charge cost of actual postage. U.S.A. only please. Reply with PM if interested.

What is electronic output film?
I know what the copy film is, but I've never heard of that other stuff.
When you take pictures on it , it send 300 volt electric back to the camera :)
No, wait, it creates a lot of static electricity...
Umm... a marketing tool to relabel film so people will buy it in the "digital age?"
Seriously, though, I believe it is for "film printers." Basically, a digital process to convert an electronically stored image to film (like from a computer; digital image, powerpoint slide, a scan, video frame, etc.). Basically, I think it's for an electronic form of film copying... though this does not rule out my third joke.
Well, first of all, I could be wrong. I'm surprised no one with more knowledge has chimed in yet.
Basically, though, think of it as a way to make a slide out of a non-film image (or after manipulating something electronically). Kind of the reverse of scanning.
Lets say you made a graph with computer software and wanted to put it on film for some reason. You could use a "film printer" to make a slide out of it - by "printing" it to film. Whether the film in question is actually optimized for this, or merely marketed as such, I do not know. Even if "optimized," I would imagine it would work in the traditional manner after some testing to dial it in.

Re: SONS OF ANARCHY tv series disscussions and comments
What if Gemma is the true Claudius figure of SOA? Clay was the one who killed J.T. but Gemma may be the one who manipulated Clay into doing the job, using his attraction to her and her own vulnerability to influence him. Though what Clay did to Gemma was terrible without a doubt, I think he is seeing Gemma for who she really is underneath. I think this series isn't going to end with a showdown between Jax and Clay, though I believe that will happen. I think it is going end with a showdown between Jax and Gemma. Clay is only there to fool the audience into thinking that he is the one pulling the strings and when the truth is, Gemma is the culprit.

It was Benedict.
He takes over insisting that an answer to the Vampires be found, and now that they're all dead by their guestimates, he feels confidant enough to retire since he was a Battle-Pope and this is peace time which he has no stomach for.
Nice. but now without the vamps to maintain order, wolves and witches run around doing as they please

Jabra EasyGo Bluetooth Headset hands-on
Designed as an entry-level headset, with a price point to match, Jabra's EasyGo Bluetooth offering is satisfyingly simple to setup and operate from the box. Its a Bluetooth v2.1 device and is backwards compatible, so will work with a vast array of mobile handsets, and it can pair with two devices simultaneously; great for those who have separate work and personal phones.
For a cost-effective device, the EasyGo is surprisingly well built, offering a sturdy and solid casing. There's two plastic ear loops included with the headset for different sized ears, along with three different steps of ear buds (or Ultimate Comfort Eargels, as Jabra calls them).
Other than that, the only other inclusion in the pack is an AC charger which, to be completely honest, has the shortest cable we've ever seen. Unfortunately, the power socket on the headset is not mini-USB, even though it looks like it initially, so unless you've got a waist-high or desktop power plug in your house/office, you'll need to bend down a lot.
Thankfully, though, one charge will last up to six hours of talktime, eight days of standby. And it can be fully charged from nothing to full in around two hours.
Button-wise, the volume controls are a touch tiny, but the answer/end functionality is enacted by depressing the back end of the whole device, so you don't have to fiddle about trying to find it in a hurry.
The EasyGo uses DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology, and boasts clear voice and sound talents. Certainly, while using it paired to an iPhone 4, it offered a pleasant, uninhibited performance. Nothing groundbreaking, but considering its price, certainly within the realms of acceptability.
And that's its biggest draw. You can currently get the Jabra EasyGo Bluetooth Headset for £17.99 on Amazon.co.uk (originally £29.99). Considering that equivalents can be anywhere up to £100 more expensive (such as Bose's offering, for example), there's a lot of tech going on here for the price. It may not offer as many bells and whistles as its rivals, but are you after a Bluetooth headset or a Morris Dancing troupe?

Respond to Review of Araya's Vegetarian Place
by findabiggerplace
Review: I was super excited about Araya's as it was recommended to me by a friend (I'm from out of town). I liked it, but I really didn't think it was all it was cracked up to be. I had the lunch buffet and some of the food was bland and overheated from the buffet table. I would definitely go back to try it again- maybe I just went on a bad day.

If you liked spiderman 2, then there is a good chance you won't like this game much. The web swinging is more realistic. I find the fighting to be quite stupid at times. At the start of the game, when you play the first mission of where you fight the girls... I got my ass handed to my like, 4 times in a row before i beat them.. First off, they're girls. Nothing against them or anything, but kicking spidermans ass??? Come on.. Regardless of what you read, you won't know what i mean until you play the game. There are a bunch of other stupid things with it, but i don't have the time to explain them all. Spiderman 3 is a renter. Plain and simple.
Posted 11 May 2007 - 01:48 PM
I loved Spiderman2! Played Spiderman 3 at EBGAMES and the first thing I noticed was the webswing was different. It was a bit jerky Loved it in 2. And that blurry graphics in the distant was also abit annonying
Posted 11 May 2007 - 09:04 PM
I think the web swinging is the only good thing about this game. Everything else just seems like an xbox game. The cutscenes don't look that good. The camera is screwy. I dunno... I've been hard into Gears, and maybe its ruined graphics for the mediocre games.

Hood Canal's Haunted Mansion
UNION - For information about the McReavy mansion and the McReavy House Museum of Hood Canal, go to www.mcreavyhouse.org. The organization frequently hosts a variety of events, which are also listed on the Web site.
Armed with tents, stoves, sleeping bags, lawn chairs, flashlights, compasses, infra-red video cameras, microphones, thermometers and even crystals and baby powder, a group of about a dozen people gathered on July 11 to set up experiments to monitor for ghostly activity in the McReavy mansion in Union.
Among the group who spent the entire night at the decrepit, 119-year-old house were 10 members of LORE (League of Occult Research and Education) from Olympia. LORE is an informal network "interested in investigating occult, metaphysical, paranormal, and philosophical topics and places," according to the group's Web site. Since LORE's founding in Olympia in 2004, other LORE groups have sprung up, the next largest being in Richmond, Va.
LORE field organizer Ginger Renslow said one of her first impressions when she walked through the mansion, without any gear, in order to get a feel for the place, was that "the house feels warm and inviting."
"I noted a light touch on my arm while walking from the front hall," she said.
The "mansion on the hill" was built by John McReavy during the "boom days" of 1890. His daughter, Helen "Nell" McReavy Anderson, was the last resident of the mansion with her husband. The couple died within a year of each other in 1969 and 1970, according to local historian and McReavy House Museum founder Michael Fredson.
Anderson wrote in her memoirs, "I remember no sad moments in the old home."
Over the decades since, time has not been kind to the building or the grounds. The red, Victorian peaked roof and much of the ornamental moldings are gone, the terraced hillside overgrown and inside, much of what was, is now lost. "The floors were all carpeted from wall to wall and were most marvelous for my little feet to sink into," Anderson wrote. "There were heavy tan silk drapes in the living room which lasted for years. Three oil paintings were and still are part of the house. The home was in the center of an orchard."
At LORE's base camp in the gravel drive near a giant walnut tree and a tangle of vines, amidst the tents, cars, tables, clipboards and laptops "all that's missing is the mystery machine and a dog," said Mark Taylor, co-organizer of LORE.
In 2007, the Mason County Board of Commissioners designated what is known as the "McReavy site" as the county's first historic landmark on the Mason County Historic Register. The county's Historic Preservation Commission determined that "the property has historic significance because it was owned by John McReavy, who was a town founder, postmaster, mill owner, store and boarding house owner, real estate agent, state legislator, logger, railroad operator and school board superintendent."
McReavy, a minister's son, arrived in the Hood Canal logging district in 1861 and served in the territorial Legislature from 1869 to 1889. His legislative agenda included education and woman suffrage. McReavy signed the document declaring statehood for Washington.
Endangered Ghosts
Like the health of Hood Canal, if there are any ghosts in the mansion, they're endangered. The Washington Trust for Historic Preservation in 2007 put the house on its register of most endangered historic properties.
Besides scientific documentation, LORE's investigation was aided by David Raddatz, co-founder of the Washington State Ghost Society, who used scientifically unorthodox research methods. "I am a physical medium, transfiguration, amongst other things," he said.
LORE investigator Donald Dalton asked if transfiguration is similar to how the popular medium J. Z. Knight channels the entity Ramtha. Raddatz said, "I'm not into Ramtha." Dalton quickly corrected him, breaking the serious mood of the investigation, "Technically speaking, Ramtha's not into you."
The use of a medium to "channel" the dead is an age-old practice that transcends many cultures. The concepts of transfiguration and close relative transubstantiation are not new. In the Roman Catholic theology, transubstantiation means the change of the substance of bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ occurring in the Eucharist while all that is accessible to the senses remains as before. According to Orthodox Roman Catholics, the bread has in fact become the flesh of Christ but retains the appearance of bread to all the senses. Similarly a transfiguration medium, when channeling an entity, transfigures the contacted entity into himself while retaining his own form and appearance.
After spending most of the day exploring the McReavy mansion, around nightfall Raddatz sat in an old chair in the parlor room to begin channeling. LORE investigators set up equipment to monitor everything from temperature and magnetic fluctuations to pointing infrared cameras and microphones at him.
That night as the channeling began, loud rolls of thunder could be heard. Earlier the sky had turned a strange pink. As darkness settled around Union, bright flashes of lightning illuminated the mansion with the corresponding loud crack. The winds picked up, the door blew open and the trees whistled. Raddatz contacted the first of a series of seemingly random wandering spirits:
Entity: "Alright, what do you want me to say?"
Renslow: "What is your name?"
Entity: "Charles."
Renslow: "Did you live in this house, Charles?"
Charles: "I came for a visit… I had to get away… from the rest of the world."
Renslow: "Where are you from?"
Charles: "East… Back east… Boston"
Renslow: "What is your last name?"
Charles: "Barrington."
And on the questions went, punctuated by the occasional flash of lightning, for about 10 minutes, during which the investigators learned that "Charles Barrington" was a newspaper writer who "has been staying here for a long time." He believed it was still the 1800s, saying through Raddatz, "You know that, it's 1882." In a moment of agitation from what some guessed was the group's apparent intrusion, he said, "There are others…"
The next entity channeled was Elizabeth Cooper, a 9-year-old girl, who "came here during the summertime to play, to swim" and couldn't keep her head out of the water while swimming in the Hood Canal. "Elizabeth" seemed to be in denial about being deceased, thinking the year to be 1893. She was emotional about missing the combing of her "long blond hair." When asked what her favorite book was, she said, "The Bible." She apparently had come to the McReavy mansion to look for her mother. Anderson's memoirs do mention that the townsfolk scolded the children for playing unsupervised near the water, and that guests and their children did visit the mansion. She had personally climbed into a boat as a child that went adrift on the Hood Canal and had to be rescued.
Two more entities were contacted later that night, "Mary Cooper," possibly Elizabeth's mother, and even a ghost that said his name was "McReavy" but no first name was given. He "was agitated when I questioned him about the old walnut tree… and got even more upset when I asked questions about the Freemasons," said LORE investigator Jennifer Scitern. (John McReavy was a 33rd degree Freemason and chartered the Union City Masonic Lodge No. 27 in 1878.)
The weather that night was scientifically explainable, of course, but the appearance of the rare thunderstorm on the night of the investigation, which had been planned months earlier, didn't go unnoticed. LORE investigator Craig Pryor, who was monitoring temperature changes all night, said, "All that's needed is for the power to suddenly go out to complete the haunted house experience." It eventually did, for no apparent reason, at 2:34 a.m.
The McReavy House Museum of Hood Canal plans to restore the mansion back to its original 1890s splendor, and only recently was able to get the electricity working, which could explain the sudden outage.
Northwest historian Stewart Holbrook once wrote that "Union City, Washington" has "disappeared altogether from the map." Today, the McReavy mansion sits in disrepair, a fitting epitaph for Holbrook's somewhat premature proclamation. Artist Howard Leggett, McReavy House Museum vice president, is working to bring back to life what he says "is the oldest surviving building on the Hood Canal."
The spirit of the good 'ole "boom days," it seems, is returning to Union.

Wyclef answers Sean Penn
By Molly McGonigle
Wyclef Jean is already defending his choice to run for president in Haiti. After Sean Penn slammed Wyclef's announcement that he would run for president in Haiti, Wyclef wasted no time in coming up with a response, according to EOnline.com.
RELATED: Sean Penn says Wyclef is absent in Haiti
In an interview on "The Gayle King Show," Wyclef said "He hasn't seen me for six months—I've been going to Haiti for over five years. … I am not absent in Haiti, maybe the tent city you're in, maybe I'm absent in that."
Wyclef then went on to explain, "I do not react on emotions when it comes to the Haitian people. I do not have to sacrifice my life and live inside of the tents to prove I am for the Haitian people."
RELATED: Wyclef files his paperwork to run for president of Haiti
The hip-hop artist finished his interview by saying that he has blood in his sweat from working for the people of Haiti with tireless dedication.

Hopefully it's success leads to more than a few sequels
