Other work
Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Bonchune moved after graduating college to Los Angeles in order "to change his view", according to his mini biography in Starship Spotter. He first worked as a physical studio model maker for television and movies (even as late as 1995 when he contributed as such to Apollo 13, albeit uncredited), before an opening presented itself on the 1993 science fiction television show SeaQuest DSV at Amblin Imaging, where he taught himself the craft of CGI modeling. As digital artist he proceeded to also work for Foundation on the science fiction series Babylon 5, as well as on the 1997 movie The Jackal. After his tenure on the Star Trek franchise, he worked on the television series Surface, which won him a Visual Effects Society Awards nomination in 2006 (shared with Eric Hance, John Teska and Sean Jackson), before quiting Eden FX and joining NBC to work on Ronald D. Moore's Battlestar Galactica and its follow-up Caprica. More recently, after joining Pixomondo Visual Effects (an international VFX house, founded in 2001, that currently employs many former Star Trek visual effects staffers) in 2011, he has worked as CGI senior animator on the television series Hawaii Five-O (2011), and Steven Spielberg's science fiction series Terra Nova (2011), and Perception (2012).

The best basketball players often aren't found in college or in the NBA, but on the nation's blacktops. Using a late 1970s tune by the Blackbyrds as its overall theme, Doin' It In The Park: Pick-Up Basketball, New York City accurately gives viewers a well-deserved look into pick-up basketball. Although they focused on the Big Apple, in many urban corridors, if you are a hoopster of any note, you will make or break your hoopin' reputation on the blacktop. Many go on to star on high school and college teams; some even make it to the pros. Many others don't — but that doesn't make them any less significant in basketball circles — their streetball exploits will sometimes precede them. Continue Reading →

KENDALLVILLE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) - As a school district continues to mull a decision whether or not to arm staff members, an area sheriff presented his case for doing so.
Sheriff Doug Harp, R-Noble County, addressed the East Noble School Corp. board Wednesday night. Harp endorses a plan that would allow select staff members to carry firearms in the school.
The staff members would go through training, testing and background checks.
"It's new for everybody," Harp says. "There's a lot of things that have to be answered. I think we're head in the right direction. I'm very, very hopeful this plan will end up taking place, because I think it's necessary. And we're real optimistic."
The ENSC board made no decision on arming staff members at Wednesday night's meeting.

WASHINGTON – Here's a list that will interest both prospective college students and their parents.
College Prowler, a site that says it uses student reviews for insight on nearly 7,000 schools, has compiled a list of 25 colleges where the student bodies are both smart … and hot.
Among those making the grade, the University of Virginia comes in at No. 3, followed close behind by Georgetown University at No. 4.
D.C.'s Howard University ranks No. 6, and Virginia's Liberty University in Lynchburg comes in at No. 18.
College Prowler created the list by averaging together lists of schools where students said the hottest and smartest pupils attended classes, Business Insider reports. The rankings reportedly are based on data points taken from about 370,000 college students who were surveyed.
You can see the full list at Business Insider.
As a side note, the WTOP newsroom currently employs staffers who are students or alumni of at least five of the schools on the list: UVa., Georgetown, Howard, Boston College and Biola University in La Mirada, Calif.
The red carpet gleamed with sparkly metallics and shiny, futuristic-looking fabrics. See photos from this year's Met Gala.

Only One More Week to See 200 Solar-Powered LEDs Light Up the Hudson River for 'Reflecting the Stars'
Posted By Jessica Dailey On October 19, 2011 @ 10:00 am In Art NYC,Energy | No Comments
Reflecting the Stars is a free installation, open to the public from now until October 25. Beginning at sunset each night, the faux stars start to twinkle as the tides conceal and reveal the lights. On the shore, there is a console that invites viewers to press buttons to light up specific constellations that are no longer visible within urban areas because of air and light pollution [1].
"We hope to not only give the viewer a sublime moment of reflection but also raise their awareness about our disappearing night sky," said Morris. "This combination will motivate people to turn off lights at home, ask their offices to put lights on timers, and perhaps even help influence public lighting policy."
Morris, having no knowledge of electronics and no major source of funding, enlisted friends to help 'Reflecting the Stars' become a reality. Andy Baker of Kontraptioneering [6], along with Rick Schwab, created a method of controlling the solar-powered lights [7] with radio waves to avoid running any wiring that could disturb fish hatcheries under the pier. Google Senior Software Engineer Adam Berenzweig, working with architect Charles Renfro of DS + R [8], programmed and fined tuned the installation.
The lights are encased in steel pipe caps, "which rust within days of installation to match the natural decay of the once-bustling transportation pier. The contrast of new technology encased in a rusting shell mirrors our species' race for advancement that is changing the climate, melting our glaciers, and leaving us at a global crossroads."
Reflecting the Stars is the The Windmill Factory's debut project in New York City [9]. The collective is known for its interactive, mulch-disciplinary work, and you can become a part of 'Reflecting the Stars' by dedicating a star [3], just one of the various forms of funding that made the installation possible.
No doubt a stunning piece of public art, 'Reflecting the Stars' carries a poignant message about our relationship with the environment. "As we lose our view of the universe we perhaps lose our place in the world, our perspective of being part of a solar system," writes the Windmill Factory. "Without this macrocosmic perspective it is arguably easier to stop taking care of our surroundings and our planet."
Reflecting the Stars is located on Pier 49 off of the Hudson River Park. To get to the pier, enter the park at West 11th Street and walk north to Pier 49.

Picture Of The Moment
Most of the time I rest, try to do a movie or just watch them at home. I'm into watching old movies I haven't seen like Roman Polanski's Macbeth. Occasionally I go out with friends, but there's no time to really go clubbing like I used to... I have to take care of myself because if you get sick you still have to work. I'm not much a party animal anyway. I lay low. I like to be grounded by nature, go hiking... go to an isolated island that's not glamorous and touristy at all.

Just to throw some ideas around.
1. Scarlet Lily SS
The turn you send your unit to the cemetary, play Game Over so the SS will bitter destiny opponents L3 & under cards.
Maybe next turn follow up with Crest Spy for a probable iczer chance.
2. Milling Field Wipe
Play cards like Crest Devil Knight, Lelein , and Chaos Absorption to get opponents field down to the last copy of all his units and then Game Over.
3. Curse on World
Play a high LP file (preferably with Broken Anna) to stall the game out until opponent has many units on field, Game Over, and follow up with Curse World to drain SP from dying units last turn.
What other ideas do you have?

Trapping is a safe and rewarding sport, but a trapper needs to consider certain precautions while handling trapped animals.
When you walk up to one of the restraining traps, the animal will be alive. If you are using a bodygrip trap, the animal ought to be dead. Since live animals might inflict bites or scratch, safety precautions are a must!
The trapper can use a noose or catch pole to help if the animal is to be released.
If the animal is not going to be released, a small caliber firearm can be used to dispatch the animal. Remember to follow the state regulations on use of a firearm, and the rules for safe firearm handling.
Animals in the wild may carry parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to humans. Wear latex or rubber gloves and eye protection when handling carcasses. Wash your hands and arms after handling carcasses. Disinfect all knives and your skinning tools. Taking these precautions will minimize risk of infection to the trapper. Let your health care provider know that you are a trapper.
When setting traps, be careful that your fingers are not in the jaw area of the trap. Some traps have a piece of wire or steel that will hold the jaws in place while the trapper is setting the trap. Not all traps have these safety devices.
Dress accordingly for the weather conditions. Trapping is usually enjoyed in colder weather. Hypothermia is always a consideration when hunting or trapping in wet and cold conditions.
Check your local trapping regulations. Every area has certain trapping seasons and regulations suited for that area.
Trapping is a great way to enjoy nature and learn more about the animals we share the woods with. Trapping can also supplement your income. The best way to learn more about trapping is to look up the Trappers' Association in your area.
Some Trappers' Associations have trappers who can mentor you - this is a great way to learn. An experienced trapper can teach the proper way to skin an animal as well as proper fur-handling techniques. There are classes offered on animal behavior, animal signs and animal tracking, as well as basic, intermediate and advanced trapping skills. This is an excellent way to learn the different aspects of the sport of trapping.

The definition of "Administrator" in section 3 of the Land Remote Sensing Policy Act of 1992 (Public Law 102–555, 106 Stat. 4164) is omitted as unnecessary because of the definition added by section 10101 of title 51.
Pub. L. 102–555, § 2,Oct. 28, 1992, 106 Stat. 4163, provided that: "The Congress finds and declares the following:
"(1) The continuous collection and utilization of land remote sensing data from space are of major benefit in studying and understanding human impacts on the global environment, in managing the Earth's natural resources, in carrying out national security functions, and in planning and conducting many other activities of scientific, economic, and social importance.
"(2) The Federal Government's Landsat system established the United States as the world leader in land remote sensing technology.
"(3) The national interest of the United States lies in maintaining international leadership in satellite land remote sensing and in broadly promoting the beneficial use of remote sensing data.
"(4) The cost of Landsat data has impeded the use of such data for scientific purposes, such as for global environmental change research, as well as for other public sector applications.
"(5) Given the importance of the Landsat program to the United States, urgent actions, including expedited procurement procedures, are required to ensure data continuity.
"(6) Full commercialization of the Landsat program cannot be achieved within the foreseeable future, and thus should not serve as the near-term goal of national policy on land remote sensing; however, commercialization of land remote sensing should remain a long-term goal of United States policy.
"(7) Despite the success and importance of the Landsat system, funding and organizational uncertainties over the past several years have placed its future in doubt and have jeopardized United States leadership in land remote sensing.
"(8) Recognizing the importance of the Landsat program in helping to meet national and commercial objectives, the President approved, on February 11, 1992, a National Space Policy Directive which was developed by the National Space Council and commits the United States to ensuring the continuity of Landsat coverage into the 21st century.
"(9) Because Landsat data are particularly important for national security purposes and global environmental change research, management responsibilities for the program should be transferred from the Department of Commerce to an integrated program management involving the Department of Defense and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
"(10) Regardless of management responsibilities for the Landsat program, the Nation's broad civilian, national security, commercial, and foreign policy interests in remote sensing will best be served by ensuring that Landsat remains an unclassified program that operates according to the principles of open skies and nondiscriminatory access.
"(11) Technological advances aimed at reducing the size and weight of satellite systems hold the potential for dramatic reductions in the cost, and substantial improvements in the capabilities, of future land remote sensing systems, but such technological advances have not been demonstrated for land remote sensing and therefore cannot be relied upon as the sole means of achieving data continuity for the Landsat program.
"(12) A technology demonstration program involving advanced remote sensing technologies could serve a vital role in determining the design of a follow-on spacecraft to Landsat 7, while also helping to determine whether such a spacecraft should be funded by the United States Government, by the private sector, or by an international consortium.
"(13) To maximize the value of the Landsat program to the American public, unenhanced Landsat 4 through 6 data should be made available, at a minimum, to United States Government agencies, to global environmental change researchers, and to other researchers who are financially supported by the United States Government, at the cost of fulfilling user requests, and unenhanced Landsat 7 data should be made available to all users at the cost of fulfilling user requests.
"(14) To stimulate development of the commercial market for unenhanced data and value-added services, the United States Government should adopt a data policy for Landsat 7 which allows competition within the private sector for distribution of unenhanced data and value-added services.
"(15) Development of the remote sensing market and the provision of commercial value-added services based on remote sensing data should remain exclusively the function of the private sector.
"(16) It is in the best interest of the United States to maintain a permanent, comprehensive Government archive of global Landsat and other land remote sensing data for long-term monitoring and study of the changing global environment."

Is turning VERY nice and the concept is great. But there is something on it that makes it hard for me to look for long. Maybe the contrast of colours (?) or the big numbers of continets (?).
Hello people.
So decided to start a map about the discovery of new continents, cultures and places. Not much about the story of the world (as usual), but Im trying a new style. I was inspired by Diamond´s entry in one of the map challenges, and decided to give a shot as inspiration. Hope you guys like.
See ya.
Is turning VERY nice and the concept is great. But there is something on it that makes it hard for me to look for long. Maybe the contrast of colours (?) or the big numbers of continets (?).
the thumbnail is a little "fuzzy" (but they usually are) the higher res version is fine for me. This is a neat idea I like the colors you've chosen as well.

I think the ease of viewing could be increased if you reduce the contrast (especially the lighter areas). The number of medium/large islands (not the big continents) could also use reducing, as, right now, it's a bit too 'dalmatian'. Another dalmatian factor is the background grunge; splotches of roughly the same size as the med/large islands scattered evenly across the page, that also don't line up with the landmasses so it's sort of like a double-vision thing going on. I can also see a line pattern in your background grunge that could be contributing to the general dis-ease; very broad vertical/horizontal shifts in value (easier to see when zoomed out)... and some smaller, sharp lines that you could brush out with the clone tool (are you using photshop or ?)... I'll attach what I mean by the broad lines in a pic. Those sorts of lines, crisped up and in the right places, can be very useful for creating a folded/creased paper look--but you have to put them in a logical place.
That's probably enough to take in. Sorry. =]
Basically, you have a lot going on. Structured chaos is usually what I call it in my own stuff, and it usually sneaks in subconsciously when I'm not looking. One time I spelled out the word PEACE in the negative space between a row of conifers in a painting (I decided to keep that one).
On a happier note, your coastlines and color scheme are very nice.
... Take or leave any of my observations as you see fit; they're just observations.
Last edited by Chashio; 10-01-2012 at 11:33 PM.
Chashio thanks for the observations. I tried to mix the textures, but like you said it really gives that line patterns you said. Also thanks for the image displaying them, its gonna help a lot!
Label observations... Also, there's a wonderful pdf to download about positioning labels on maps. http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...-names-on-maps
You probably don't need the glow around the labels. And I would move the CLAYTIOP, NEW HARREN, and ALDENA labels completely onto the land... there's plenty of space. Also the two island labels to the north don't need lines to point them out (none of the others have them)... and unless you're going to fill it with other things, the big one could fit the label on the land. The VAKIN GULF label would also fit nicely in the middle of the gulf.
Your terrain labels (forests, rivers) and political labels (kingdom, duchies) could stand to be a bit darker. Right now they blend in with the features that they name. It might be better to keep all of the body-of-water labels in a consistent style (I'd suggest what you're using for the seas).
Also, some of your labels are too small to read easily. Part of that could be from compression of the file for uploading, but still.
The last map is a lot better to look. But after what Chashio said I am beginig to think that would be great if you rotate some of the continet, especialy the big one on the lower right.
And I promise to stop being an evil critique monster.

Los Altos City Council welcomes new member: New mayor, mayor pro tem named
- Details
- Published on Tuesday, 07 December 2010 16:00
- Written by Jana Seshadri - Town Crier Staff Writer
It was an evening of celebration – of old and new – as the Los Altos community gathered last week to witness history in the making.
Loud cheers and applause filled the Los Altos City Council Chambers as 23-year-old Jarrett Fishpaw, the youngest resident elected to the council, was officially sworn in as a councilman Nov. 30.
Fishpaw and incumbent Councilwoman Val Carpenter won the two open seats on the council in the Nov. 2 election, defeating former mayor Curtis Cole, Nancy Carlson and Matthew Sweeney. Carpenter led with 6,582 votes (31.68 percent), and Fishpaw came in second with 5,865 votes (28.23 percent).
"I have a great deal of appreciation for all the people who helped me and were active in my campaign," Fishpaw said.
Lauding the accomplished people already on the city council, Fishpaw said he's delighted to be working with them and looks forward to building productive relationships with city staff members and residents.
Referring to her re-election as the community's "affirmation of her work," Carpenter expressed her gratitude and promised to deliver continued service to the community.
Carpenter remains on the council for a second term, and Fishpaw replaces long-term Councilman Lou Becker. After completing an eight-year term (1995-2003), Becker was appointed to serve another four-year term in December 2006 after Councilman Kurt Colehower resigned.
Councilmembers expressed their appreciation to Becker for his commitment to Los Altos.
Recognizing his exemplary leadership and tireless community involvement, Casas presented Becker with a proclamation and declared Nov. 30 "Becker's Day."
"No other city on the Peninsula can stand up to the achievements we've made," Becker said.
Councilmembers unanimously elected Ron Packard as mayor and Carpenter as mayor pro tem. The new mayor presented Casas with the customary perpetual medal for outstanding service to Los Altos, and in turn received an incoming mayor's medal from Casas, who remains on the council.
U.S. District Court Judge Jeremy Fogel administered the oath of office to Carpenter, Fishpaw and Packard.
"Something historic has happened tonight in Los Altos," said Packard, recognizing Fishpaw's successful campaign, which Packard said Fishpaw won "the old-fashioned way – by talking to people."
Fences have been mended and people have worked together to accomplish a great deal this year, Packard said.
"It is to our collective benefit to come together," he said.

A judge says George Zimmerman can be released on $150,000 bail as he awaits trial for the shooting death of Trayvon Martin.
The judge says there is a possibility Zimmerman will be allowed to go out of state because of worries about his safety, but details need to be worked out among the attorneys and law enforcement.
Circuit Judge Kenneth Lester says Zimmerman cannot have any firearms, drink alcohol or use drugs and must observe a curfew. Zimmerman will also have to wear an electronic monitoring device. The judge says Zimmerman will not be released Friday.
Zimmerman apologized to Martin's parents during the hearing, saying he didn't know the 17-year-old Martin was unarmed.
Zimmerman is charged with second-degree murder. He claims self-defense.

Hey all, I could not resist buying this T-Shirt from Ffee clothing the other day, and having purchased it for my own personal consumption I had not planned on reviewing it as I have a bunch of samples waiting for my attention. That being said, when I opened the package I was so impressed I had to take some snaps and post about it.
The T-shirt came in a really nice canvas bag, with a rough string tied in a bow, and once you opened the bag you found the T-shirt (obviously), a sticker, moo-card, and water pistol. Sure it doesn't make the T-Shirt any better (although Ffee stuff is very nice, labeless, soft, an uses water based inks), but it made the experience that much more memorable. Talking about memorable two other companies that stood out when I got their packages were Johnny Cupcakes and Oddica, check them out. Any of you guys have any T-Shirt/clothing companies that stood out through their packaging?
On a slightly different topic, I'm sorry i've been a bit MIA recently but things have been getting crazy busy this month. Just to give you a snippit, 'm going to be teaching a course at the Academy of Art University in Social Media (so i'm putting the curriculum together), speaking at the Inverge Conference in Portland at the beginning of September (putting a presentation together), trying to get a line of T-shirts printed (talking to designers, artists, licensing, contracts etc.), trying to get a press pass for the Magic Conference in Las Vegas for August 25th to 27th, oh and I have a full time job, oh and how about trying to maintain a social life. Anyway, if you have emailed me, sent me samples, or invited me to your facebook group I may not have responded, so forgive me.

|Still photos of this aircraft are available in several resolutions at http://www.nasa.gov/centers/dryden/multimedia/imagegallery/Eclipse/index.html
This clip, running 15 seconds in length, shows the QF-106 "Delta Dart" gear down, with the tow rope secured to the attachment point above the aircraft nose. First there is a view looking back from the C-141A, then looking forward from the nose of the QF-106, and finally a shot of the aircraft being released from the tow rope.
NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, Edwards, California, supported a Kelly Space and Technology, Inc. (KST)/U.S. Air Force project known as Eclipse, which demonstrated a reusable tow launch vehicle concept.
The purpose of the project was to demonstrate a reusable tow launch vehicle concept that had been conceived and patented by KST. Kelly Space obtained a contract with the USAF Research Laboratory for the tow launch demonstration project under the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program. The USAF SBIR contract included the modifications to turn the QF-106 into the Experimental Demonstrator #1 (EXD-01), and the C-141A aircraft to incorporate the tow provisions to link the two aircraft, as well as conducting flight tests. The demonstration consisted of ground and flight tests.
These tests included a Combined Systems Test of both airplanes joined by a tow rope, a towed taxi test, and six towed flights. The primary goal of the project was demonstrating the tow phase of the Eclipse concept using a scaled-down tow aircraft (C-141A) and a representative aerodynamically-shaped aircraft (QF-106A) as a launch vehicle. This was successfully accomplished.
On December 20, 1997, NASA research pilot Mark Stucky flew a QF-106 on the first towed flight behind an Air Force C-141 in the joint Eclipse project with KST to demonstrate a reusable tow launch vehicle concept developed by KST. Kelly Space and Technology hoped to use the data from the tow tests to validate a tow-to-launch procedure for reusable space launch vehicles. Stucky flew six successful tow tests between December 1997 and February 6, 1998.
On February 6, 1998, the sixth and final towed flight brought the project to a successful completion. Preliminary flight results determined that the handling qualities of the QF-106 on tow were very stable; actual flight-measured values of tow rope tension were well within predictions made by the simulation, aerodynamic characteristics and elastic properties of the tow rope were a significant component of the towing system; and the Dryden high-fidelity simulation provided a representative model of the performance of the QF-106 and C-141A airplanes in tow configuration. Total time on tow for the entire project was 5 hours, 34 minutes, and 29 seconds. All six flights were highly productive, and all project objectives were achieved.
All three of the project objectives were successfully accomplished. The objectives were: demonstration of towed takeoff, climb-out, and separation of the EXD-01 from the towing aircraft; validation of simulation models of the towed aircraft systems; and development of ground and flight procedures for towing and launching a delta-winged airplane configuration safely behind a transport-type aircraft.
NASA Dryden served as the responsible test organization and had flight safety responsibility for the Eclipse project. Dryden also supplied engineering, simulation, instrumentation, range support, research pilots, and chase aircraft for the test series. Dryden personnel also performed the modifications to convert the QF-106 into the piloted EXD-01 aircraft. During the early flight phase of the project, Tracor, Inc. provided maintenance and ground support for the two QF-106 airplanes.The Air Force Flight Test Center (AFFTC), Edwards, California, provided the C-141A transport aircraft for the project, its flight and engineering support, and the aircrew.
Kelly Space and Technology provided the modification design and fabrication of the hardware that was installed on the EXD-01 aircraft.
Kelly Space and Technology hopes to use the data gleaned from the tow tests to develop a series of low-cost reusable launch vehicles, in particular to gain experience towing delta-wing aircraft having high wing loading, and in general to demonstrate various operational procedures such as ground processing and abort scenarios.
The first successful towed flight occurred on Dec. 20, 1997. Prior to this first tow test flight, the C-141A and EXD-01 were used to conduct a series of tethered taxi tests to validate the tow procedures. Before these tethered taxi tests, a successful joint flight test was conducted in late October 1996, by Dryden, AFFTC, and KST, in which one of the Dryden F-18 chase aircraft flew at various ranges and locations behind the C-141A to define the wake turbulence and wingtip vortex environment. This flight test was replicated in July 1997, with an unmodified QF-106 flight proficiency aircraft.

NEW CASTLE – Bloodied, but refusing to quit, the North Oldham Mustangs finally ran out of comebacks Tuesday at they fell to Gallatin County 72-56 in the Eighth Region semifinals. The Mustangs fought their way back into the game from a 13-point deficit without star forward Mike Rowan, only to fall victim to Gallatin County's experience and savvy play. "They put us in a hole early, and as these kids have done all year long they responded to the challenge and came right back to get in the game," NOHS coach Danny Edelen said. "Gallatin is so disciplined.

There are good days and bad days for businesses. As a rule, a fine day happens when work comes easy and workers understand and carry out everything necessary. Next, there are some disturbing days when all that you accomplished seems to be crumbling in front of your eyes. garage door malfunctions, suppliers stop answering their phones. Being incurable optimists, we trust that bad days can start badly and end cheerfully. And we're not just saying it. We're actually doing it. What we do is concentrate our entire business in always confirming our teams of professionals make it to your business on the same day you called us. They are always fully stocked and available for mending any impossible machine even faster than you'd actually planned, and this means you'll never look at your garage door the same. garage door is definitely not the enemy, nor is it a distant relative you don't have anything in common with.

Garage Door Safety
Garage doors have a history of causing injury. Over the years, several safety features have been added to garage door openers to reduce the probability of injury. Residential garage doors are equipped with safety eyes and a reversal mechanism.
If your door is closing, any obstruction that moves through the doorway should be detected by the safety eyes. Federal Legislation in 1993 mandates all garage doors be equipped with safety eyes. The safety eyes will trigger the reversal mechanism and send the garage door back up.
The safety reversal mechanism will also be triggered if the garage door opener detects tension, or a physical object is blocking its path. To test the reversal mechanism, place a 2×4 in the door way flat side down. The 1.5 inches of wood should be enough to tell the door to stop closing and raise the door. If your door does not return to the open position, you know it is time to have a garage door technician come and adjust your equipment.

Hmmm, Just to let people know that Hospital beds are a premium and people do not get to hold them up them willy nilly. You said this guy was African how did you know? (or do you actually mean that here was a black man extracting money from the poor NHS)
In this suituation normally the NHS will use the translation services, which would have been used to initailly, obviuously the medical staff were concerned about his health, hence he was in hospital. That's the price we pay for living in a civilsed country where we don't think it is acceptable not to help those in need (regardless of status).
I hope that in futre if you are unlucky enough to have to go into hospital that it is a British-born only ward (sorry Celtic-born only), and non of these other non-disireables infecting your air space (like those of anglo-saxon, norse or Norman blood).
btw - I wasn't referring to the bloke in the hospital bed.

Thanks the doctor will get back to me tomorrow after he see s the cat scan then make arrangements with the hospital. As only two are equipped for this type of procedure. Hopefully he doesn't think I will have to get the big belly cut but rather put the stent in thru groin , this is only two days In ICUs versus 9-10 the other way of fixing the anuerism. At least Nugget and I can go training tonite hope he doesn't mess up sits and downs

Success success success Nugget did the 3 minute sit and the 5 long down and he did it with about a doz. dogs in ring . This made my nite but all was not great as he did manage to forge twice and he forgot the automatic sits which was a first . This will be easier to fix than the sits and downs. He also had balls rolling around and somebody had a squeaky toy. But stayed and I put a couple chunks of hot dogs right in front of him which he ignored till I told him exercise over. Awesome recalls and 2 of 3 good finishes real fast and his watching was wonderful tonight the light bulbs are starting to come on.

Good job Nugget<: Nugget's Dad - Stay calm - and take it easy! All my prayers that this is safe, quick, and easy!
Class was this-that today. My brain was not entirely there, partly because I got to get up and leave an hour earlier to work at a new location. So left the house at 5:30 this morning. o_O I was fine until nearly 13 hours later when I sat down at class and felt like a sack of thoroughly mashed potatoes.
Directed Jumping - I took his favorite moose toy to class. He was jumping each and every time. ANYTHING to get HIS toy. I just had to harness that and make sure he jumped only on command. I mixed it up, and he pretty much followed direction each time. Tres kewl.
Heeling - Good, except she decided to throw in some "turn in place" left turns and side steps at each left turn. Jacks doesn't always remember he has a butt. Today was one of those days. We also did signals too, which we admittedly have put on the back burner while focusing on jumps here at home.
Figure 8 - Unfortunately, our instructor was right there and continuing where she left off with the left turns. She wanted us to heel box patterns with the figure 8's to train the dogs to tuck their butts in while doing the loop with us. My dog still didn't remember he had a backside that could do things like that. So basically we flunked this one.
Moving Stand - We have worked on this, and he actually did this pretty good. The poor guy looked freaked out as the instructor got a bit too friendly with him doing the utility exam. One issue we had was him anticipating the stand command. He was lagging and just getting ready to stop+stack. He did the moving stand just fine and his call to heel was nice.
Drops - He did these VERY good. LOL. She put a hot dog on the floor behind him. The first time he didn't realize that was there. But after the first jackpot, that was all he could think about. I actually had a problem getting him set up because he was making googoo eyes at the instructor. He did a nice couple drops.
Fronts - We did straight fronts seperately. Just one. He did fine. He was slightly crooked, but not that noticably so. I'll work on fronts this week if I get a chance...
Broad Jump - Did very nicely. Same routine. #1 with treat target. #2 with tossed treat and #3 with me praising him the instant he lands and rewarding him when he comes in. Each of these were straight fronts. Go figure.
High Jump - Set up for 20". His confidence was still running pretty high about jumps after our pre-class practice (anything for his favorite stuffy toy), and he did these pretty good. The dumbbell bounced into the agility stuff on the side there. He got spooked about going in there to get it, but worked throw all that nicely and came back to jump. Very positive experience that I took and moved on.
Dumbbell / flat - Nice eager retrieves, but as before, all focus was on getting him come in straight. I'm not becoming resigned about him having a constantly crooked butt, but I know it's something we will always be working on.
Stays - I mainly worked on training. There was one break, but that was when he knew I was coming in to correct him for moving his butt around. He got up and came to meet me with his "I'm so sorry mom, don't be mad" look. I didn't buy it. This happened at the 3 minute mark. :P I did 2 minutes extra with the sit stay when everyone else was doing down stays. This time his butt stayed locked in place and I went up to reward him and then put him into a down. Down stay I moved all the way over. Stayed in sight, but right there where everyone else disappears out of sight. Baby steps we go...
That's all. Must crash now. ><_><
So, I *think* Faelan may crossed the lack of confidence on scent articles hurdle Time will tell, but Faelan's issue has not been choosing the correct article but rather trusting the correct article has been chosen once he is on his way back. This developed after he needed a 'procedure' for snorfling a burr up his nose and down his throat - losing his sense of smell both after the snorfle event and made worse getting that burr out.
Anyway, last night, while he still glanced back at the pile while coming to front he was coming to front and looking up at me expectantly - whining slightly yet excitedly at delivering his prize and wagging his tail so hard his butt was swaying while he was sitting No downing, no returning to the pile and he stopping within reach of me to front from the full distance.
Oh, hopefully this will be the final hurdle (yes, I know winnying is not a great thing but I fully expect this will disappear without action being taken). And if it doesn't, well okay then its just points off and will need re-evaluation if I choose to go for the big time.
Time to start taking it on the road again - with the tie down board loaded just in case!

Titan showed last weekend to some interesting judging..He worked nice but I was thinking he might have a rib out from the t-bone that Mighty did going for Titan's dokken..Poor Titey puts up with alot from the youngster and never gets mad.
I taught classes last night and let both boys just hang out while I was teaching. They both slept most of the night..We will putz around the house until I can get Titan into the Chiro and then start working them both again.Mighty missed last Friday's agility class and there is not one this week. We are however hosting a NOI practice at my hoome training center on Sunday. Not sure what we will be doing showing or stwearding but I am sure we will have fun!

WOW I can't believe how much some of you are working on!
We had our first "beginner utility" class a couple weeks ago.
Homework is attention with no treats, stay, recall, and touch the upside down food dish.
I'm supposed to work on not being a pez dispenser.
It's amazing to me how much I treat both dogs for no reason all the time.
They're good dogs, look cute, and make me happy so I give them treats.

So, after a particularily horrible, horrible commute last night teecher managed to bring a smile to my face (the commute btw; was well over 4 hours long due to highway closures and all the secondaries being at a standstill).
But, lil Brady now retrieves his bumper and comes on the whistle!!! It is so cute to see him restrained as we restrain dogs for recalls and see him racing off to get his bumper, spinning around and flying on back to front - well with teacher kneeling. Flying ears and spinning tail
Faelan on the other hand is still acting out when the little one is around. He is the subject to 'discussions' on a few drills lately...
No training last night since it was closing in on 10pm by the time I got home and Casey and Towhee had probably given up on my return.

EastCoastHawksFan wrote:Time after time this guy made clutch hits .
off the top of my head last year his tackles against D williams vs Carolina which he also recovered was the turning point of that football game.
His tackle at the one yard line vs the Pats if im not mistaking was another huge play. I remember him having two such plays near the goal line and also against GB he hit Benson 4 yards in the back field and made him fumble inside thier ten. unfortantley we didnt recover it but still led to a punt and you know.
I remember hearing rumblings of a holdout last off season and I believe if we dont raise his pay a little we might be hearing the same this year.
My guess a 3 year 24 m extension.
Schadie001 wrote:Browner and Sherman are the best one two punch at corner in the NFL. You will "rarely" find a guy with Browner's size, tackling ability and speed playing corner. He may not be as good of a cover corner as Sherman but he brings so many other things to the table. It was a HUGE loss for Seattle when he was out at the end of the season. Anyone who think that Browner isn't worth locking up needs to go back and study some film. Show me his equal for the skills set that he has.
Trenchbroom wrote:The list of Boom signings (from most important to least):
Love Browner, I really do. But he's approaching 30 and he's barely quick enough right now at his size to pace his man. I worry that in a few years he'll be too old/slow. If the deal is below market value, yes.
Scottemojo wrote:Browner is more valuable to this defense than Kam. Vs Atlanta, Browner was lights out. And Browner can play safety if his wheels get a little rusty.
SeaTown81 wrote:And quite frankly, I'm not exactly sure how long the NFL is going to allow Browner to knock the crap outta wr's after 5 yards of contact, as he got away with against the Redskin wr's in the playoffs. That entire game I was just waiting for him to get called for penalties. He already gets enough every now and again. I really feel it's only a matter of time until his game is keyed in on by refs and they go into games looking for it. Sherm plays physical also. But he doesn't rely on it nearly as much as Browner does. You take away Browner's ability to knock guys around, his value plummets. And yes, I do worry that it's going to become an issue with refs at some point down the road, if not soon. And if it does, that makes him aging and slowing down matter all that much more.

mikeak wrote:OP - I get your point about front-loading so that we can re-sign Sherman after next year and RW year after that.
What you probably forgot is that you can now rollover cap space. Savin the money now allows you to use that same money next year so no need to front load. In fact it hurts you to re-sign now as you would spend more money overall.

If you love buying local when it comes to strawberries, this might not be the year for you.
About 5% of North Carolina's strawberry farms are having a hard time surviving this spring. Three of the farms are in Newport.
Not only are the plants cold with the weather, some have a virus stunting their growth, and killing most of the strawberries.
But one farmer says he has a back up plan for your strawberry shortcake. "I'm very optimistic. I think we'll be alright," said Bo Quinn. "I've contacted other growers I know that are not infected by this virus, if push comes to shove, I'll have berries. I can lean on some other people that I know and get berries from them."
Quinn has grown strawberries for 12 years and he's never seen anything like this.
Normally at this time of year, the berries are ready for picking. Quinn says he'll be lucky if 10% of the strawberries survive this year.
The virus came from a strawberry nursery in Nova Scotia, Canada. It does not hurt humans, nor the flavor of the berries.
