As I was growing up in a middle-class American family, my Dad would save dimes and dollars all year long then pack us into the car and head to jaw-dropping vistas days away. Our hot summer drives from Illinois cornfields to breezy mountain passes, deep canyons, plummeting waterfalls, and many other faraway places are among my most cherished memories.
We camped along the way and Dad and Mom focused their three sons' attention on the amazing world around us. My whole life was affected by those trips!
We always traveled by highway, usually in a well-worn station wagon that didn't have air conditioning (or acted like it didn't). That was okay. I could always roll down my window and face into the warm breeze for a while. Then I'd curl up or stretch out, usually on the floorboard behind Dad, during the really long stretches.
With blacktop that was hot enough to fry an egg whizzing by only inches beneath me, naps behind Dad and Mom's bench seat usually meant I woke up with floor mat creases on my face and sweat running down my back. Then the in-car games like "spot the oil well" and "interstate bingo" began. Great times!
Eventually Dad would pull off at a mind-blowing overlook or geological feature, Mom would pull out the picnic lunch of the day (always including either a bologna or peanut butter and jelly sandwich) and we'd hear the evolutionary story from a roadside plaque or Dad's travel brochure. It was always about millions of years, even then. Though Dad didn't realize it, by telling us only the evolutionary view he was prompting a quiet disbelief in the biblical account of history. Frankly however, Dad didn't know any better at the time.
That's why I'm thrilled that in this issue of Answers magazine, you will find a big twelve-page section about the kind of mysterious natural wonders Russ Mason would have loved—and how to explainthem biblically! If resources like this had been at Dad's fingertips, our summer vacations would have been even better, because he would have used our picnic lunches and campfire suppers to tell us the biblical truth . . . and Dad would have loved that!

How to unblock Facebook at school?
An easy tweak for unblocking Facebook at school or work
Every other day while going through my email i stumble upon a variation of the most prevalent reader question we usually receive here in this blog: I want to access Facebook at school but it seems they blocked it!!! Any thoughts??
It's completely understood why schools and workplaces has a clear interest in blocking Facebook. The thing is that our interest as Facebook enthusiasts is exactly the opposite
In essence we have two main ways to access a blocked website:
- Use a free proxy website. The problem with web proxies is that in general they are low quality and/or spammy and tend to get blocked quite often by schools and enterprises.
- Remote control a PC that has access to the blocked site (in this case Facebook).
So for my readers, here are a few ways to unblock Facebook at school:
- Install the Facebook Access at School application on your home PC and promote it among your friends. The cool thing about this app, is that once installed it searches for accessible (non-blocked) proxies websites. So once in school, all you'll need to do it contact a friend/family relative that has facebook access and runs this application and ask him to let you know the URLs of currently accessible proxies. Once you have the URL, access it via your school or workplace Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or other web browser and surf to Facebook.
- If you can't get hold of any friend/family member, try to unblock Facebook using a proxy website from this proxy list.
- You can also try to remote control your home PC (that has access to Facebook) from school. There are a few free (or free to try) apps that you can use for this task. I recommend to use Crossloop or Remote Admin as your remote control software. The main downside of this method are that somes chools and workplaces might not allow you to install the remote control software on their PCs, so this method won't always be applicable.
If you happen to be aware of other tricks that allow you to access Facebook from school or work, you are welcome to share them with us by posting a comment below.
Update: Many readers asked whether the circumvention methods mentioned in this blog post are applicable to other social networks or sites that tend to get blocked . The answer is positive. You can try these methods with Xanga, Hi5, Friendster, MySpace, Orkut, Bebo, AIM Express, Rapidshare, Megaupload, MSN ( Live), Hotmail, GMail, AOL, Yahoo Mail etc'

Why Do Angels Die?
Since the rain clattered to the ground,
It proved you were nowhere around.
Although the sky still remained blue,
These tears of mine show how much I miss you.
I know it's too late now,
To tell you I love you.
As you layed there in your hospital gown,
I tried to hide the fear,
I was so afraid for you not to be here.
Too many tears have been shed,
Not enough goodbyes.
Nobody to tell me why
You had to go,
In the eve of the night.
They tell me it's never too late,
Then why do we worry about time?
I keep your picture in my pocket,

Musicians' and Nonmusicians' Short-Term Memory for Verbal and Musical Sequences: Comparing Phonological Similarity and Pitch Proximity
Williamson, Victoria J., Baddeley, Alan D., Hitch, Graham J., Memory & Cognition
Language-music comparative studies have highlighted the potential for shared resources or neural overlap in auditory short-term memory. However, there is a lack of behavioral methodologies for comparing verbal and musical serial recall. We developed a visual grid response that allowed both musicians and nonmusicians to perform serial recall of letter and tone sequences. The new method was used to compare the phonological similarity effect with the impact of an operationalized musical equivalent-pitch proximity. Over the course of three experiments, we found that short-term memory for tones had several similarities to verbal memory, including limited capacity and a significant effect of pitch proximity in nonmusicians. Despite being vulnerable to phonological similarity when recalling letters, however, musicians showed no effect of pitch proximity, a result that we suggest might reflect strategy differences. Overall, the findings support a limited degree of correspondence in the way that verbal and musical sounds are processed in auditory short-term memory.
There is a long scientific tradition of examining the similarities between language and music (Darwin, 1871; Patel, 2008). Studying commonalities between how language and musical sounds are processed affords more opportunities to learn about how we interact with the auditory environment than are available from studying either domain in isolation (Callan et al., 2006; Koelsch et al., 2009; Kraus & Banai, 2007; Patel, 2009; Peretz & Zatorre, 2005; Wong, Skoe, Russo, Dees, & Kraus, 2007). In the present article, we compare the serial recall of speech and music from short-term memory.
The first reason for choosing short-term memory for a language-music comparison is that much is known about the operation of auditory-verbal serial recall. For simplicity, we present our studies within a single broad theoretical framework-the multicomponent workingmemory model (Baddeley, 2000; Baddeley & Hitch, 1974)-although we acknowledge that they could be fitted into other frameworks developed to explain processing in short-term memory. The working-memory model comprises an attention-controlling central executive and three subsystems: the phonological loop, the visuospatial sketchpad, and the episodic buffer. The phonological loop is associated with the processing of speechlike information. It comprises a passive phonological store, which acts as a temporary holding center for speech-based information, and an articulatory rehearsal process, during which incoming visual information can be recoded and rehearsed using a phonological code (Baddeley, 2007). In the present research, we question whether the phonological loop also may be capable of processing musical stimuli.
A second reason for focusing the language-music comparison within short-term memory is the importance of verbal short-term memory for a range of higher cognitive abilities. These include the acquisition of vocabulary and grammar (Baddeley, Papagno, & Vallar, 1988; Gathercole & Baddeley, 1990), reading (Baddeley, Gathercole, & Papagno, 1998), and action control (Baddeley, Chincotta, & Adlam, 2001; Liefooghe, Barouillet, Vandierendonck, & Camos, 2008; Miyake et al., 2000). An empirical investigation of language and music processing in shortterm memory therefore has the potential to encourage investigations into the role of musical short-term memory in equivalent domain cognitive abilities (e.g., reading music). There is also the possibility, if evidence for resource sharing can be demonstrated, that music may have a role in a number of important verbal processes, such as those listed above. A link between music skills and phonological awareness has been demonstrated in a number of different populations (Anvari, Trainor, Woodside, & Levy, 2002; J. L. Jones, Lucker, Zalewski, Brewer, & Drayna, 2009; Overy, 2003).
A third reason for our empirical focus is that neuroimaging evidence suggests that a degree of resource sharing occurs during verbal and musical short-term memory tasks. …

Two Brookfield men were charged with possessing heroin after one of the men allegedly overdosed on the drug in a Waukesha apartment.
Christopher R. Reistad, 22, and Cale J. Russo, 21, were charged with felony counts of possession of narcotic drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia in Waukesha County Circuit Court on Aug. 3.
They are scheduled to make initial court appearances Aug. 22.
According to the criminal complaint:
Waukesha police officers and paramedics were called to an apartment in the 1200 block of Lambeth Road for a possible overdose in October.
Russo was unconscious and Reistad was sitting on a couch, mumbling incoherently.
Russo was rushed to Waukesha Memorial Hospital and gained consciousness in the ambulance on the way.
Reistad, who struggled to keep his eyes open and answer questions, handed an officer a pill bottle containing 0.1 grams of marijuana when asked what he had taken. He was taken to the hospital, where he vomited pills that were too digested to identify.
At the apartment, officers found a spoon encrusted with heroin residue in Reistad's room and a knife encrusted with heroin residue in Russo's room.
Syringes and other prescription pills were found throughout the apartment.
Russo later told officers he had injected a half-gram of heroin - $90 worth - before he lost consciousness.
He also said he had been taking heroin and prescription pills two or three times a day.
In addition to the narcotic and paraphernalia charges, Reistad was charged with possessing marijuana. He faces a maximum sentence of more than four years in prison.
If Russo is convicted of possessing narcotic drugs and drug paraphernalia, he faces a maximum sentence of more than 3½ years in prison.

A WITNESS in the Elaine Doyle murder trial was asked if a notorious sex killer might have been stalking the streets the night the teenager died.
Gordon Darroch, 48, now a quality manager with an engineering firm, had gone for a walk on the night of the murder, in 1986.
In statements given to murder hunt detectives, Mr Darroch also said he had seen a man in his mid-20s dressed in black walking towards Greenock town centre down Ardgowan Street - where Elaine lived.
Mr Darroch was asked if the man he saw could have been Gavin McGuire, who was later jailed for the murder of schoolgirl Mhairi Julyan in Kilmarnopck. He replied: "It could potentially have been."
But advocate depute John Scullion, prosecuting, reminded Mr Darroch that in 1996 detectives had shown him a series of mug shots - which included Mr McGuire - to see if he could identify the man he saw around midnight in Ardgowan Street a decade earlier.
He had told the detectuives that none of the pictures had jumped out at him.
On trial at the High Court in Edinburgh is John Docherty, 49, who denies murdering jeweller's assistant Elaine on June 2 1986, and had produced a list of 41 possible suspects which, it is suggested, may include the real killer.
Docherty, of Dunoon, claims that at the time he is alleged to have stripped and strangled Elaine Doyle, 16, he was with his parents at their home in Anne Street.

"This is not a social justice contract that views public education as a sacred duty that the state and local governments owe to all students, parents, and education workers. This is a cut-throat BUSINESS contract that will bring the forces of the market to public education. It turns education into a business which does nothing to directly address student needs. In fact, many of these provisions will ultimately hurt students."
"When the Baltimore Teachers Union was initially faced with a merit pay proposal in 2010, they turned it down. But after Randi Weingarten and the AFT went there to convince the Baltimore teachers that this was a good contract, a second vote passed merit pay and the contract provisions. Since then, the number of unsatisfactory evaluations—ineffective—shot up throughout the city, in some schools as high as 60%. Let's not repeat these same errors. Vote no, organize our union, and demand a truly fair contract that works to serve the interests of all students and education workers in Newark."
We think the NEW Caucus is actually suggesting that evaluations should be cancelled because too many teachers flunk. The idea is to find teachers who will receive good evaluations meaning they adequately teach kids.
Apparently to these teachers, $57,926 per year is not enough to convince them to work harder to improve miserable student test scores, like a 56 percent proficiency rating in science for 8th graders or a 45 percent proficiency rating in math for the same students, according to GreatSchools.org.
To Newark teachers, academics are just great the way they are. Unacceptable levels of student achievement are not a bother. Spending $28,406 per student to achieve such pitiful results is not a concern.
But holding teachers accountable? That's "inhumane" and is tantamount to "indentured servitude."

Obama no longer dazzles us with his smoke and mirrors; he bores us with them, droning on and on for more than an hour without offering any new ideas to turn the economy around -- because he has none.
Obama is as bereft of new ideas as a ventriloquist's dummy. He is a prisoner of his own theological affinity for expansive government as a panacea. His liberal ethical code tells him that growing government is a moral imperative that must supersede everything else, even economic growth and prosperity for the very people to whom liberals claim allegiance.
As long as they are reliably growing government, statists such as Obama will not be held to account by their fellow liberals for their policy failures and for spreading misery, because they are doing god's work, whatever that might mean to them. If his "stimulus" fails to produce jobs, it doesn't matter, because a) his intentions were good, b) Republicans didn't let him spend even more, and c) things would have been worse without it -- even though the weight of the evidence and history prove otherwise.
So don't ever expect Obama's soul mates in the liberal media to hold him accountable for his record or to compare it with that of other presidents. If it is worse, it will not be his fault. His failures will always be because of the "mess he inherited," even though no other president has ever enjoyed that absurd luxury.
But even measured against the situation he inherited, Obama has made sparse improvements, and in most cases, things have gotten worse, including the millions who have given up and left the workforce, the millions who have joined the government dependency rolls, the catastrophic national debt and our woefully insolvent entitlement programs, which he steadfastly refuses to reform.
For all his hoopla about hope and change, Obama is nothing more than a gloom-and-doom liberal who doesn't even aspire to robust economic growth. His sole focus is not on growing the economic pie but on redistributing what he believes is a finite one.
That's why the thrust of Obama's disgraceful speech was on class envy, resentment and warfare. He forever castigates producers and the wealthy and promises a continuation of policies that are antithetical to growth, except for the growth of government.
As long as Obama is in office and his policies are pursued, America will be shortchanging itself and suppressing the entrepreneurial spirit and liberty of the American people, without which America is destined for ongoing decline.

A newly released study by the American Academy of Pediatrics says that children in military families suffer various emotional and behavioral stresses at twice the rate of kids living in civilian households.
Military families might consider pet adoption as a way to not only reduce their kids' anxieties, but to help fill a companionship void left by a deployed father or mother. Pets deliver real emotional and physical benefits to kids, as well as to adults.
Here are just a few of the many proven health benefits of family pets:
- Reduced stress and incidence of depression
- Just 30 minutes in the company of a dog improves feelings of happiness and well-being
- Fewer feelings of loneliness
- Animals have a positive impact on children's attitudes about themselves, and boosts their ability to relate to others
The study noted that as many as 30% of children in military families reported feelings of anxiety, such as fear of being alone or getting scared for no apparent reason. A family pet can go a long distance to subdue these fears, as well as provide a non-threatening, non-judgmental friend to share feelings.

Hi I'm from Sydney, Australia. I work as an Accountant which keeps me very busy (probably too busy :(. In my spare time I like to keep fit & healthy by jogging & going to the gym ; go to gigs, concerts, festivals (I like many types of music but lean more towards rock) ; read fiction & non-fiction (fiction is mainly sci-fi which makes me a bit of a geek I guess ;) ; go to comedy shows (I like to have a good laugh :) ; watch movies e.g. action, drama, thrillers (preferably with decent acting & plot - I'm not a big fan of a lot of what comes out of Hollywood), watch documentaries on pretty much everything (I like to learn) ; travel (I have been to Europe, US, Canada, Japan & South America) ; sun, sand & sea in summertime.

Marie Koetje's specialty appears to be finding beauty in chaos. Her paintings feature jumbled messes of trash and vegetation, and jagged landscapes. Her often dark scenes focus on spots of bright color, illuminated signs, and water reflecting light.

Phillip Toledano is a photographer in every sense of the word, with an oeuvre that speaks incredible amounts about his interest and character. After our post recently about Nick Minton, I realized we hadn't posted Toledano's beautiful series titled 'Days with My Father', which is also an incredible book. The project follows Toledano's time spent with his father, and is chronicled with heart-warming/breaking words that bring the whole series to life. Please, take a moment out of your day to experience this series.
Seoul native Eunjeong Yoo is an illustrator who now lives and works in New York City. In addition to Eunjeong's strong conceptual approach, the quality I admire most in her work is her use of color; its placement has a haphazard feel and her palette choices both emphasize the narratives and instill a sense of in-the-moment movement.
I'm proud to say my witchy sisters & Texan friends, Sisters of the Black Moon, have recently "moonlighted" (in a black sense, of course) as the starry-eyed starring leading ladies in Black Mountain's new music video, Old Fangs. Like a Nightshade-induced hallucination from a Belladonna dilated third eye, these sultry sirens seduce and induce cosmic visions and beyond.
And, if you love their sartorial sorcery, be sure to check out their website- they hawk their magick wares on an epic eBay store, The talented Miss Alecia Marcum of the coven, as if she isn't fantastic enough already, also does styling work.
Check out more eye candy of these unbelievable beauties after the jump!
The following are B/D's picks for today's awesome architecture. Sometimes it seems architects don't get enough recognition for their work as artists, but they are truly masters of sculpture and design (and not only that… they know calculus). Read on to drool over the art works that you (wish you could) live in.
Swiss artist Tenko's work seems to represent a twisting, flawed humanity that we try to forget. Looking at his work I'm very conscious of the fact that my supposedly higher thoughts and feelings all rely on a system of organs, pumps, and fluids to exist and no amount of perfume is going hide the fact that we are simply beasts of flesh and bone. Maybe it's all those perfectly modeled legs or even the grotesque facial expressions but I feel like I'm definitely gonna have to exfoliate tonight.
This street art production in the city of San Francisco has been brought to you by Guys Who Like Porn and their Freedom From Porn network… thanks guys!
UK graphic designer Joe Porter has a refreshing style. A combination of minimal color and collage inspired design makes his work eye catching. This young new designer is a recent graduate from Brighton University. He has already been featured in several publications i.e. Computer Arts and Wallpaper Magazine. Not too bad for this up incoming designer.

An attorney representing a group of former Dewey & LeBoeuf partners argued against a proposed clawback settlement with the defunct firm in a hearing Thursday, questioning members of Dewey's wind-down team about their alleged interests in the deal.
Last month, more than 450 of the firm's 672 ex-partners reportedly agreed to pay between $5,000 and $3.5 million each in a clawback settlement that would release them from future lawsuits. If U.S. bankruptcy court judge Martin Glenn approves the deal, Dewey's estate stands to recover $71.5 million from the deal, which will go toward paying down its $560 million debt.

Condyloma is an infectious disease, usually transmitted by direct sexual contact, that is characterized by the presence of warts caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). These warts may be found on the genitals, mucous membranes of the mouth, near the anus, or in the rectum.
The warts associated with condyloma appear as small, soft, moist, pink or red elevations on the skin or mucous membranes. They are caused by direct contact with one of the following types of the human papilloma virus (HPV): types 1, 2, 6, 11, 16, or 18. There is an incubation period of 1 to 6 months. The warts are not painful but they can spread rapidly on the genitals, mucous membranes, around the anus, and in the rectum. Occasionally, there may be a single wart, but most often they cluster together, taking on a cauliflower-like appearance.
In females, condyloma can be found on the walls of the vagina or cervix, on the area between the vulva and anus (perineum), or in the rectum. Pregnancy or a chronic vaginal discharge appear to cause these warts to grow and spread more rapidly. Regular examinations, including pap smears, are important for women who have had venereal warts. The increased number of cases of cervical cancer in women with condyloma is evidence of a connection between cancer and the HPV virus.
Men who have been infected with the human papilloma virus may have condyloma warts around the foreskin and/or shaft of the penis, around the anus or in the rectum. Occasionally, they may involve the urethra, the tube that extends through the penis into the bladder allowing urination.
Condyloma is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases in the USA today. Its incidence is on the rise, and it affects both men and women. It is caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV) and is transmitted by direct sexual contact.
Condyloma is an infectious disease that affects males and females equally. Sexual practices that are considered high risk, multiple sexual partners, poor personal hygiene, and engaging in sexual activity at an early age have all been implicated in the increase in incidence of this viral disease. Pregnant women are more prone to this disease, and if not adequately treated, can transmit the virus to the baby at the time of delivery (laryngeal papillomas). Rectal and anal warts are more commonly found among homosexual males.
In the USA, the incidence of condyloma acuminatum has been estimated at 1% of the population. Highest prevalence and risk is among young adults (20-35) and older teenagers (16-19). In the past twenty years, the number of cases of genital warts reported has increased by more than 400 percent.
The diagnosis is made by inspection of the affected area. The presence of small pink or red bumps is usually obvious.
Since condyloma is a sexually transmitted disease, both partners should be examined and treated. Treatment of condyloma consists of topical medications such as podophyllin or trichloroacetic acids. This treatment may need to be repeated to assure complete removal of the warts. Genital warts may also be treated under local or general anesthesia by an exposure to extreme cold (cryosurgery), or by cauterizing the wart with heat from an electric current (electrocauterization) or laser therapy. Surgical removal may be necessary for the more extensive cases of this disease. Condylomas may be difficult to treat, and relapses may occur. Several treatments may be necessary. However, early detection and treatment are important. Notification of sexual partners is also important. Circumcision may help to prevent a recurrence of this disease in men. Condoms, used correctly, can give some protection and help to avoid re-infection from this and other sexually-transmitted diseases.
Those people who have been diagnosed with the papilloma virus (types 6, 11, 16, and 18), and their sexual partners, should be followed closely by their physicians. This is due to the fact that certain forms of cancer have occurred after a history of genital warts.

Literature: Good Dog, Carl!
Good Dog, Carl! is a series of children's books by Alexandra Day.The premise behind each book is as follows — a Rottweiler named Carl is in charge of taking care of a baby named Madeline while the parents are busy. They get into all sorts of adventures and mischief, and then clean up the mess and return safely without the parents noticing. The series is known for it's beautiful watercolor paintings, all of which are done by the author herself, as well as little to no dialogue.
Good Dog, Carl! provides examples of the following tropes:
- Badly Battered Babysitter: Subverted. Not only does Carl take excellent care of Madeline, but he assists her from time to time, such as giving her a nudge down a the laundry chute, fix food, or window shop to see Santa.
- Big Friendly Dog: Carl himself. He's very smart, and Madeline rides on his back like a pony.
- Long Runners: 25 years.
- Not the Fall That Kills You: Carl pushes Madeline down a laundry chute as a makeshift slide and lands in a pile of clothes in the first book.
- Precious Puppies: A Rottweiler puppy accompanies the pair in Carl's Afternoon in the Park.
- Smelly Skunk: A skunk almost sprays Carl and Madeline in Carl's Summer Vacation, but they escape in time.

BOSTON -- Jeff Green was the first to stare, then Avery Bradley interrupted. Courtney Lee finished off by walking in front of the camera shot holding a towel over his face. In that moment, the trio did the unthinkable -- they videobombed Kevin Garnett.
If there was a group to pull it off during Sunday's postgame interview, it would be those three. They have been unbreakably close this season, forming a bond in which they consider one another like family on and -- more significantly -- off the court.
"We're kind of close in age and not only that, we have the same interests. They're just good guys," said Bradley. "Not to say I don't get along with everyone on the team, because we all hang out, but these two are like my brothers."
Bradley and Green became close friends last season on the Celtics. When Lee joined the team during the summer, they instantly clicked with him. They shared similar tastes in music and mutual character traits -- "cool," "goofy," "laid-back," they listed. (Leandro Barbosa, who signed in October, was also part of the crew until suffering a season-ending ACL injury and being traded in February.)
As this season got underway, they began spending more time together away from the game. The friends worked out and lifted weights on the same schedule. Dinners and trips to the movies became part of their routines on the road. Some nights they'd do both.
"I'm good friends with everybody on the team, I consider myself neutral," said Lee. "Those dudes have been here since September and those are the dudes I've been hanging with the most, and (Rajon) Rondo when he was here. It's always good, especially on the road and you want to do something, you have someone to hang out with. Being away from your family, you treat your teammates like family, so we're always together."
With their friendship comes a built-in support system. Each of them has struggled at points throughout the season and the other two have been there during the ups and downs.
"Everybody gets along, that's the best thing about being on this team. But having these guys, when you're having tough times, I know that I always can go to those two," said Bradley. "They're always there. Like when I had my little shooting slump, every single game Jeff and Courtney were keeping me up. Everybody else was, but especially those two. I might see a text or something from them, so it means a lot having those two here."
They also know one another's intentions are genuine. Being professional athletes, they have met people only interested in their status, masquerading greed with the facade of friendship. They don't worry about that with one another.
"It's cool because in our position, you never know what people want and why they want to be your friend," said Green. "But when you've got guys who work hard, that share the same interest, it's easy to come together and be friends. We expect the best out of each other, so we push each other."
Bradley, Green, and Lee see their friendship going far beyond their time with the Celtics. They have formed a bond that will last past their careers in the NBA.
"They're just good people," said Bradley. "I definitely think -- and I'm pretty sure they'd say the same thing -- when we all get married one day we will probably invite each other for sure. (Pauses, laughs) They'd be fighting over (best man)."
Strong bond between Celtics' Green, Bradley, Lee
BOSTON -- Jeff Green was the first to stare, then Avery Bradley interrupted. Courtney Lee finished off by walking in front of the camera shot holding a towel over his face. In that moment, the trio did the unthinkable -- they videobombed Kevin Garnett.

Groton — Twice during a recent deployment the USS Providence was asked to stay out at sea longer, a task Rear Adm. Richard P. Breckenridge called "lunatic hard."
"Being extended once is hard. Twice extended is just sort of lunatic hard. It's crazy hard. And that is what the Providence did," Breckenridge, the director of the undersea warfare division, said Wednesday at the change-of-command ceremony for the submarine.
Breckenridge, the former commander of Submarine Group Two in Groton, was the guest speaker at the ceremony in which Cmdr. Michael G. Quan turned over command of the Providence to Cmdr. Tony S. Grayson pierside at the Naval Submarine Base.
The Providence (SSN 719) returned to the base in March after a more than seven-month deployment.
Breckenridge said after the ceremony that six-month deployments will continue to be the norm, but longer deployments may sometimes be necessary.
"We're just going to have to manage that as well as we can," he said, adding that maintaining the production rate of two Virginia-class submarines per year and delivering them to the fleet quickly will be particularly important in the coming years.
The loss of the USS Miami puts even more pressure on the submarine force, Breckenridge added. The Navy recently decided to stop repairing the submarine because of the rising cost of the work. A civilian worker set a fire inside the submarine while it was undergoing repairs at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine, in May 2012.
The Miami still had 10 years remaining in its roughly 30-year service life, making it eligible for at least five more deployments.
"Every one of those deployments is pivotally important," Breckenridge said. "Someone is going to shoulder the load for that."
The Providence's deployment was extended because the commander at the U.S. Central Command needed the submarine, according to Quan, who has led the Providence since April 2011.
The crew was leaving the Arabian Gulf earlier this year when they got the call to turn around, Breckenridge said. Then, they got yet another "bonus extension," he added.
"There are not many submarines that we do this to. But we did it to the Providence and, boy, did they rise to the challenge," Breckenridge said.
Quan, who received the Meritorious Service Medal, said this assignment has been, by far, the most challenging and rewarding of his career.
"What else could be more satisfying than taking your ship out to sea and carrying out the assigned mission, whether it is just off the coast of New England for a week or halfway around the world for months?" said Quan, who thanked his crew, his family and the team that supported the Providence.
Quan said he will miss the sound of the ship's whistle as the submarine gets underway, the pride on the face of a young sailor as his submarine warfare insignia is pinned on his chest, and the camaraderie in the wardroom.
"What I will miss most is the teamwork and pride of the crew as they operate the ship and prepare themselves to carry on and carry out the day's orders," said Quan, who is moving on to join the staff of the Chief of Naval Operations in Arlington, Va.
Grayson has served previously as the executive officer on the USS Ohio (SSGN 726) Gold crew and as the executive assistant to the commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command in Bahrain.
Grayson said the mission of Providence can be summarized in six words — "warfighting first, operate forward, be ready."
"We are Providence," he said. "We fight where we're told, and we win where we fight."

Nerdvana's October Undead Roundup
Fall has arrived. The leaves are turning color, the temperature is finally cooling down … and the undead are once again walking the Valley streets. RUN … or stick around and enjoy the zombie mania coming your way over the next couple of weeks.
Wednesday (10/9/13) at midnight (that's this Tuesday night) many local comic shops will be holding sales and other spooky shenanigans to commemorate the 10th anniversary of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" comic book. Issue #115, which has a slew of variant covers, will go on sale when the clock strikes twelve, and the highly-anticipated "All Out War" storyline will begin. Who will live? Who will die? Who will die, come back and then die again? Check your local shop for details on what they have planned.
This Friday, October 11, 2013, is downtown Mesa's 2nd Friday "Classic Monster Mash!" There will be costumes of all sorts, but zombies are always a big part of 2nd Friday's October festivities. Get your dead on and join the "scariest street in the city" for an evening of art, costume contests, haunted tours and Halloween prizes. Get more information at: 2ndFridayNightOut.com.
If you are looking for zombie movie stardom and happen to have the day off this Friday (10/11/13), the comedy documentary film "Surviving the Zombie Plague" is looking for extras. They'll be shooting in Tempe and can use your undead acting abilities. Check out their Facebook event for details.
Sunday, October 13, 2013, is the television event we've all been waiting for, the Season Four premiere of AMC's "The Walking Dead" cable series. Fan favorite, Michonne, is going to be whupping up on the "walkers" from horseback – and then swiping Carl's hat and going full John Wayne on their butts. Well, maybe not, but either way, you can bet it'll be exciting.
Friday, October 25, 2013, is "Nightmare in Mesa," downtown Mesa's third annual Halloween block party. The event is looking for undead volunteers to mingle with the other costumed revelers, and they are even going to provide the make-up. Tucson band the Mission Creeps will be playing live music, along with the Calabrese band and The Limit Club. Get more details at: downtownmesa.com/nightmare.
On Saturday, October 26, 2013, downtown Phoenix holds its 5th annual Zombie Walk. This is one of the biggest "Zombie Walks" in the country and is a fun family-themed event (because you know what they say, "A family that slays together, stays together.") Be sure to bring a canned food item to benefit St. Mary's Food Bank. Find out more detailed information at: downtownphoenix.com/zombie.

Attorney Waterstradt was extremely helpful with my BK case. I was very apprehensive and she helped walk me through my concerns. Anytime I had a questions she responded quickly. I would highly recommend Attorney Waterstradt to anyone considering hiring her.
Posted by Martha
I was referred to Ms. Marianne Waterstradt by an attorney who knows her professionally. She came highly recommended, and in short order I could see why. I was dealing with a surprise wrongful termination from my job of 15 years and did not know what to do, before being referred to Marianne I must have spoken to more than 6 other attorneys and non made me feel at ease. My confidence in humanity was recharged after talking with Ms. Waterstradt. She was the only one who understood my unique problems and allegations. After a detailed non rushed interview she saw the strength of my case. Bottom-line, she secured for me a better than expected settlement and my family and I can breath easy. If you hire Ms. Marianne Waterstradt, you are making a better than good decision. I wholeheartedly endorse her, she is an attorney you can truly call a "friend".
Posted by Michelle G.
My husband and I found ourselves in the position of having to file for Bankruptcy. We had a nightmare with a mortgage company who refused to take a mortgage off our credit report despite having the home lost to foreclosure. Although our case was complicated, Ms. Waterstradt was through and walked us through the process. She was always available to address our concerns and answer our questions. She quickly prepared our Petition and our Bankruptcy was discharged in three months. No one plans on filing for Bankruptcy but it happens to the best of us and having an attorney who not only knowledgeable and attentive but also sensitive and kind makes the process bearable. I would recommend Ms. Waterstradt to anyone who has any questions about Bankruptcy. She has a heart of gold and the experience to seamlessly walk you through the Bankruptcy process.
Posted by Jake
I have known many attorneys in my life and have had to use them on occasion for a variety of situations. I have NEVER met an attorney who is as caring, compassionate and personable as Marianne. Filing bankruptcy is personal, embarrassing, and crushing to one's soul. It is accompanied by and unprecedented vulnerability and worthlessness.
In addition to being a knowledgeable and professional attorney, Marianne brings compassion, understanding and empathy to the equation and makes an unbearable process bearable. Her approach helps alleviate the social stigma associated with filing bankruptcy and she explains the process in detail. I've never known an attorney to care as much and take such personal interest in clients as much as Marianne has exhibited.....definitely not your Dad's attorney!

I needed an attorney who could help my family with estate planning. I wanted an attorney who could be sensitive to our specific needs and who would have the patience to make us understand all of the legalities we needed to know. I didn't know there was so much work involved in writing a will properly so as not to get the courts involved at the end. When my mother passed away we were able to handle the reading of the will as well as handle the estate per my mothers wishes with out the courts help.
Mrs. Waterstradt made what would have been a very difficult process incredibly simple. I am very grateful for all she has done for our family. Thank You Marianne
Posted by Jerry
Marianne Waterstradt is simply OUTSTANDING both as an attorney and as a person. She advised me on a contract negotiation that came out better than I hoped. She also worked me through the ins and outs of forming an LLC; drafted my documents; instructed me how to get them filed properly and what the LLC would do to protect me and my business. I enjoyed her level of professionalism and the fact that she kept me informed at all times of the progress of her work. I would HIGHLY recommend her for your legal needs. If I ever need legal representation or advice in the future she will be the only attorney reach out to.
Posted by Steve
While we were discussing my BK options, Marianne protected me by informing me of what I can and can't do with my current money. She made me feel safe when she called the creditors for me to stop the harassment. I was so ashamed to have to file a bankruptcy but Marianne sympathized with me and gave me faith in some attorneys.
Posted by a Chapter 7 client
I was referred to Marianne by a business associate to handle my bankruptcy filling. I proceeded to wait for over 1 year to file in order to proceed with my filing as per her recommendation. My BK involved the IRS and FTB whom have strict requirements when filing a chapter 7. Marianne advised me of the requirements and provided me with a date to file my BK. We proceeded to file and I Thought everything was taken care of until 4 weeks before my marriage. I received IRS & FTB lien releases with the exception of the releases from the tax debt that I had waited over a year to include in my filing. I was informed by the IRS & FTB that I had filed 2 weeks early for the FTB and 6 months early for the IRS. I called Marianne and she broke down in tears and told me that she would do everything in her power to make this right for was clearly negligence by her. A week or so went by and she informed me that she did not realize that her Mal-Practice insurance had lapsed and that we could not submit a claim with them. At that point I proceeded to consult with a friend whom is an attorney in order to find out my options. I told him that I did not want to proceed with any suit until Marianne had an opportunity to make things right. 1 week before my Honeymoon I received a letter in the mail from the BK courts informing me that Marianne included me for her personal BK filing. To date I have heard nothing from her.
Posted by Denise
Marianne Waterstradt, Esq. not only is very professional but personable as well. She has a big heart and made us feel very comfortable as we were going through the bankruptcy process. She always kept us well informed and had an open door policy to where we felt comfortable to contact her if we had any questions. Our bankruptcy was discharged in Jan 2011 and she still is there for any questions we have had after it. I have already recommended her to my family and friends and will continue to do so into the future. Thank you Marianne and King Waterstradt Attorneys At Law.
Posted by Philip
Marianne examined and researched my case with great detail and reported back to me with all my legal options. She was concise and to the point with her advice not lacking integrity, compassion, or work ethic. Being very demanding in nature, of all the attorneys I have worked with in the past Marianne EARNED my respect which is a difficult thing to do. I would be happy to speak personally with anyone considering working with Marianne.

Respond to Review of Tasty World
by Senkenberg
Review: Simple fast food bar with burgers etc. They offer two "vegan" burgers; I almost didn't ask whether the bread was vegan but when I did I was told that the burger was vegan but the bread wasn't (!). Fair play to the staff for knowing and saying, but very poor of the resaurant - I think a vegan ordering a "vegan" burger which is served by default in bread, has a right to assume that the product marketed as vegan is vegan. Lots of other vegan choices in Ghent, so it was easy to go elsewhere - and the store looked clean and probably very nice for vegetarians.

You have a way of shooting people that is distinctive, I'm beginning to recognize your work before I see your name attached. You bring something of the model's personality into the picture, it's not flat. The model is not a mere object or bystander in the photograph. I like this one in particular because there is an unknown element about the image, mysterious. The face is mostly obscured, the background is wide and dark and also somewhat obscure. A lone car in the background, a suggestion of something more going on. Moody. Well done, Michal. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

Of course, the proper response to such logic is the obvious assertion that race and sexual orientation are not comparable: even if homosexuality stems from innate urges that the individual can't control, the expression of those impulses (like all sexual behavior) involves elements of choice. The acceptance of gay marriage as the equivalent of traditional marriage will, however, make any such arguments moot. Once the government declares that there is no meaningful difference between the union of two men, two women, or a man and a woman, and affirms that banning gay marriage makes no more sense than banning interracial marriage (the key contention of state courts in Iowa, Massachusetts and elsewhere) it embraces the idea that sexual minorities deserve legal protection in the same sense that racial minorities need it. For religious groups (whether representing minorities or, currently, majorities) the choice to maintain distinctions between same sex unions and traditional marriage – the choice to discriminate, in other words – will receive no such protection, any more than the racial discrimination preached by fringe religious groups (like the so-called neo-Nazi "Christian Identity" movement) deserve protection from government efforts to suppress or at least discourage their bigotry.
Moreover, the whole concept of carving out special "religious protections" (reported as a major trend by Peter Steinfels in the New York Times and now favored by leading gay activists as part of their push for same sex marriage) reflects the certainty that faith-based organizations will become an immediate and prime target of the gay rights movement. Regardless of any legislative efforts to protect dissenters in their exercise of conscience, the granting of government sponsorship of same sex matrimony will clearly put the force of bureaucratic power and social sanction on the other side. Instead of tolerating and protecting the minority rights of that tiny group that wants to live in same sex couples (through, say, the institution of civil unions), activists now propose to tolerate and defend the majority that rejects the idea of gay marriage. In other words, traditionalists are supposed to accept the fact that, despite clear-cut majorities in election after election and poll after poll, we must accept a new status as a fringe-group minority with special protections – until judges come along to strip away those defenses and to force compliance to the new tyranny of "marriage equality," regardless of the doctrines of long-standing faith tradition (and secular common sense) that we may continue to uphold.
The prospect threatens not only the future of the institution of marriage (by altering that institution beyond recognition) but the core idea of this Republic--that legal standards and social norms should reflect the preferences (or at least the consent) of the majority of the people.

Knowing the opera well, this was a wonderful dance version done extremely well. The acting/dancing of the main characters was top notch. The sets were amazingly great and changed so seamlessly. Has me hooked to come back for more.

This was a great ballet. I've seen the opera, so knew the storyline, but the dancers, the energy and the set were all fantastically done.

The energy and skill of the performers made this a memorable event to attend. The production, while not lavish, was enjoyable and well done. The performers were well trained and Carmen's role was magnificently rendered. We loved it.
Our only...continued
Carmen, choreographed by Elizabeth Wistrich in 1988, is a condensed version based on Bizet's famous opera of the same name. The ballet is set in Spain in 1820. Carmen, a beautiful and sultry girl working in a cigarette factory, gets into a fight with another girl and is arrested by a sergeant, Don José, who finds himself attracted to her. Besotted by Carmen, he leaves his orderly life behind to join her smuggler band, only to be overcome by jealousy as she soon tires of him and takes up with the famous toreador, Escamillo. Hunted by soldiers as a fugitive, Don José pleads with Carmen to come back to him, but she refuses, and he stabs her in a jealous rage. Opulent sets are courtesy of Stivanello of New York and the colorful costumes were designed and created by world-renown designer David Heuvel.
Enigma __**was created by Elizabeth Wistrich in 2000 to music by Enigma and she received a Tommy Award for its brilliant choreography that same year. The ballet is a contemporary ballet enhanced with exciting multi-media effects that fills the stage provided by videographer Peter Oliver. Costumes were designed and created by David Heuvel.

Izzy is a bit too feminine, I think, what with the many Isabel(la)'s around who often go by Izzy. I just think Iggy is too cute! Nate is the most normal, but Nash sounds pretty cool too.

Definitely a statement about lifestyle more than product, but it's a VW: what could you possible say about the *product* that hasnt been said before?
Fun ad. Pointless, but fun nevertheless.
No, I am not a media buyer.
I think this is rather lovely. Fun concept. Message is clear. Entertaining. What more could you ask for? Nice job.

Dan?!?! Funny seeing you here.
p.s. agreed, entertaining.
never stop exploring.
its an ad for people in advertising, not for people watching it. Who cares what tests say about advertising? Get over it, I wouldn't make an ad out of it, It doesn't sell a car to me, and finally, having a car that everybody loves is certainly not an attractive proposition, i mean, who on earth wants to be everybody?
Ever hear of a Hipster? Of course if something is cool, people are going to want it. I think it works quite well for the product.
It's an ad for the target.
VW Beetle sells to happy, fun, outgoing people. A diverse group of individuals with a spirit and lifestyle that binds them together. Not age, nor location or even race. Happiness and fun light spirits are universal and the target will connect perfectly with this spot. Well done.
I would love to see this ad from Brasil in Portuguese.....i love original work!

text: Like a wrestler who's cut loose his devious manager but has yet to embrace the fanbase, the WWE video game franchise is at a weird crossroads. The franchise is free from its former keepers at the perpetually cash-strapped THQ, now aligning with the bigger guns at 2K Sports, who've ruled arenas for years with the dominant NBA 2K series. However, proper character change takes time, and while we've seen some slight improvements in WWE 2K14, it's going to take a little more time in the ring with this grappler before we declare it a legend.

Lucid Dreaming [Updated with video]
Patagonia climber Alexander Megos made the third ascent of Lucid Dreaming (V15) this week on the Grandpa Peabody boulder in the Buttermilks. It was a double-milestone effort for the German phenom.
"Feels like a DREAM but it's not. Finally took down my hardest boulder ever and as well my longest project ever!" Alex said on his newly created Instagram account.
Photographer Ken Etzel was there to capture the climb and share some details.
