You may remember Tiffany and Jared. Well, Jennifer, Tiffany's sister, and Mark, her man, got engaged just days after Tiffany's Jamaica wedding. I'm so excited and honored they chose me as their photographer. I'll also be shooting their wedding in the Riviera Maya in a couple of weeks! Time flies!!
Their union, last Monday, was a perfect example of the extremely efficient process of getting hitched in New York City. I was supposed to meet them in the morning. But it turned out that they forgot to get the marriage license! Whoops! So the first item on the list was to take a number, and Mark's sister was kind enough to wait in line for our number to be called while we went around and took some photos. Then it turned out that they had to petition to a judge at the courthouse next door to get married on that day, because Mark's sister was in town from Chicago, so they wouldn't have to wait the mandatory 24 hour period. And so, while I took a nap sitting up in City Hall Park (I was a little tired - I had just shot Cailen and Sean's engagement session that morning and had woken up at 5a.m.), they managed to get everything taken care of in a surprisingly short amount of time. And as cranky and cold as many New York City officials can be, you really have to hand it to them that they run a tight ship -a tight, and cranky ship.
In any case, it was great to get out with these lovely folks - and I'll be shooting their wedding on Fourth of July weekend, and I'm so stoked to see Tiffany and Jared again, and to hang out with their lovely and fashionably well dressed family!
I was completely salivating over Jennifer's amazing shoes!!!

The Lookout
Since I've switched from reviewing actual films/movies, no one's asked me why. Not that it matters because it's not a question I really care to answer and up until now I haven't really had an answer. Sure, I could've made up something glib and sarcastic involving Madeline Stowe or the Wayans brothers, but deep down I always knew I wouldn't have to search for the answer for the answer would find me.
And when I saw the trailer for The Lookout, I knew that the answer finally found me. This is the reason why I don't shit away two hours of my life at a time anymore: because most movies aren't even worth the two and a half minute trailers anymore, let alone the actual running time of the whole damn thing.
The Lookout seems like something some mental deficient slathered throughout a spiral notebook with a wooden spoon after it was introduced to their ass crack on a muggy and humid August day on the equator. I don't mind so much that it's the story of a once-promising athlete reduced to a bank janitor. And I'm not complaining that it takes a nosedive courtesy of the traditional cat and mouse thriller storyline when he's smooth-talked into helping the local wannabe thugs rob the bank where he works. Nonononono. What's got me ready to punch a baby in the head is the fact that I'm being asked to believe Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a leading man. The only thing this little walking vaginal skin flap from 3rd Rock From the Sun could lead is the parade to a nerkie circus.
I'm guessing by The Lookout's trailer that he's supposed to be a likable character. Sticking this twat in a lead role is the worst instance of miscasting since Keanu Reeves as a guy with too much information in his head in Johnny Mnemonic. War crimes and mass murder aside, I think Hitler had more charisma than Gordon-Levitt. Or Levitt. Or what the hell ever shit-dick is going by these days.

I have a cherry shelf that has holes from the brad nailer. any recommendations for filler? I have some Elmers and also some Minwax walnut colored wood putty that is to be put on AFTER the finish. The finish is Minwax poly shades antique walnut.
This isn't a big project, but just want to get it right.
You are planning to put walnut PolyShades on cherry? Why?
I suggest you test it and see how it looks before putting it on final project.
I usually save some saw dust from project wood and press it into dent . You can glue it in or sometimes I just press it in just prior to applying finish. Dab a bit of finish on it and let dry for a spell.
"You are planning to put walnut PolyShades on cherry?" Why?
Because that's what I want to do. That's why.
Thanks for the other posters suggestions.
Me thinks you missed Scott's point completely.
Reason he asked why you want to use particular stain, was to obtain info what look were you trying to achieve.
…that you are using PolyShades® "because you want to". Even Minwax doesn't have the power to force anyone to use this stuff. Unfortunately, your response pretty much ended any further suggestions with respect to your chosen finish. If I may, however, I will proceed on the assumption that your objective is/was to obtain a darker, more aged cherry finish. I can think of no other reason to color cherry with a walnut stain. Given that (if it is accurate) PolyShades® comes with some baggage that you could avoid (or could have avoided) with a different approach. PS is nothing more than Minwax polyurethane with a heavy pigment load added—it is stain in which the binder is the topcoat. While on the surface this may seem to be a good idea; in practice, putting this much opaque pigment in a finish presents some very real problems. Even commercial pigment based toners do not include anywhere near as much pigment as is found in PS. The biggest of these problems is the tendency of PS to streak if the finish film laid down is not perfectly uniform. Beyond that, the heavy pigment load in the finish necessary to provide both "stains and topcoat" in one step significantly diminishes the subtle (and not so subtle) grain and figure features of the wood to which it is applied. In the DIY segment of the market (the target audience of PS) these deficiencies may not be an issue when PS is applied to the typical unfinished furniture project. But, when finishing furniture and cabinetry projects, especially those made from more desirable and expensive hardwoods, most experienced woodworkers/finishers would like to achieve their objective without sacrificing the clarity of the wood being finished.
A better approach (in my view) would have been the application of a water-soluble dye. Many flavors are available that would impart the same red/brown tones to cherry without the grain and figure robbing opaque pigment film. I would then have applied a clear topcoat in the sheen of your choice. Finally, before the last coat of finish was applied I would have filled the brad holes with a color coordinated finishers wax stick selected to match the color of the shelf. These filler sticks are available from a number of sources in both sticks and tubs. Simply pack the filler into the holes, wipe away all excess not in the hole and apply the last coat of finish.
If you have already gone the PS route you may want to hold this option in reserve for your next project. I suspect the visually different result produced will eliminate any future desire to use PolyShades®, unless you are forced to do so…

I could be reading this incorrectly, but if you need to fill some holes after finishing, have a look in the Varathane aisle. They have several shades of post-finish nail hole fillers. They can be mixed together to match your shade if needed.
I took the question as questioning why I wanted to use that finish. I didn't ask what finish I should use, just how to fill the holes. I am just making a quick shelf to hang on the wall at a summer home. Nothing fancy. Just trying to get a half way decent look.

Yeah, that's just the local Poly Police...
Fwiw, I think they mean well, but they can come on a bit strong occasionally...
Don't let it get you down...good luck with your project.
Don (a.k.a. "Baketech");
..but your gratuitous reference to the "poly police" has absolutely nothing to do with this thread. The only mention of "poly" is completely secondary to the discussion; Minwax makes PolyShades® from poly (thus the cleaver name). The whole point of my comments to Thomas has to do with the amount of pigment added to the product. Any varnish to which this much pigment is added would be subject to the same problems. So, if anything, your shot should have been directed toward the "pigment police"!
Now, if you are taking issue with my observations about the negative impact of this much pigment in varnish (forget the PolyShades®) leading to my suggestion that water-soluble dye would have been a better option, based on my assumption of the purpose of the "stain", that might be a useful discussion.
Finally, permit me to point out that your suggestion of the "Varathane aisle" to solve the problem of the nail holes is virtually identical to mine. I just did not identify a specific product…

Can a Smart Person Believe in God?
Contrary to the slanders voiced by arrogant atheists, we who believe in God are in very distinguished company indeed.
The British actor and writer Quentin Crisp tells a funny story about the time he visited Northern Ireland and announced he was an atheist. Crisp recalls: "A woman in the audience stood up and said, `Yes, but is it the God of the Catholics or the God of the Protestants in whom you don't believe?'"
The point is, it's impossible for an atheist to disbelieve in God without believing in some alternative-either that, or he must confess he believes innothing
. Even agnostics, who are somehow able to make it through life withholding judgment on one of life's most defining issues, have to believe insomething
during the interim. For most of them, atheism seems to be that something.
In my experience, atheists tend to believe in the cosmic existence of highly fortuitous accidents created by Randomness, which I write with a capitalR
because, for all intents and purposes, Randomness is the atheist's god. As the nineteenth-century English poet Francis Thompson affirmed, "An atheist is a man who believes himself an accident." But within that broad definition of atheism, there are variations denominations, if you will.
First off, there are the agnostics, whom I call Uncertain Atheists because by allowing for the possibility that God does exist, they admit they're not quite sure. For them, the jury is still out.
Next are the Arrogant Atheists, whom you heard from at the very beginning of this chapter. These are the low-SQ persons who worship Intellectualism-a supernatural faith, I might add, considering that our IQ's historical track record is, to put it politely, decidedly mixed. Above all, Arrogant Atheists feel a need to believe they're smarter than everyone else.
Then there are what I call the Humble Atheists, persons who worship Intellectualism but are honest enough to admit theirs is not some superior belief. The prolific science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov once explained his Humble Atheism this way: "I've been an atheist for years and years, but somehow I felt it was intellectually unrespectable to say that one is an atheist, because it assumed knowledge that one didn't have. . . I don't have the evidence to prove that God doesn't exist, but I strongly suspect that he doesn't."
One denomination that particularly intrigues me consists of what I call Christian Atheists, persons who embrace my religion's values but not its God. They are those whom Saint Paul appeared to be speaking about when he predicted in 2 Timothy 3:1, 5: "But mark this: There will be. . .[people] having a form of godliness but denying its power."

The Marine veterans, marked with scars of the war, but morale still high, were playing pingpong, cracking jokes and watching TV when the head Chaplain of the Corps arrived.
The Chaplain of the Marine Corps, Rear Adm. Alan T. Baker, visited the Wounded Warriors' Barracks at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, Kaneohe Bay during his trip to Oahu July 27.
The Wounded Warriors' barracks is a place where injured Marines while in Iraq or Afghanistan stay during rehabilitation.
He gave words of encouragement, stressing the fact the chaplains of the Corps are in place to serve them.
"The Marine Corps takes care of your physical and mental side, but we're in charge of the spiritual side," said Baker. "Whether you're religious or not, we're here for you and your families."
Baker also emphasized the importance of hearing from the troops.
"We want to take care of you," said Baker. "That's why your feedback is essential."
After Baker fielded questions from the Marines, he gave each Wounded Warrior one of his personal coins.
"It makes you feel appreciated when somebody like Chaplain Baker takes the time to say 'thank you for your service,'" said Lance Cpl. Jorge Bravo, a rifleman from Echo Co. 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment who was hit by an Improvised Explosive Device while in Iraq. "It shows he really cares about the Marines."
The facilities are another way the Marine Corps is able to take care of their own and make them feel appreciated.
Some of the rooms are being renovated for wheelchair access, and the common rooms are decked out with the latest video games, flat-screen TVs, a pingpong table and a pool table.
Baker mentioned that the Wounded Warriors' barracks throughout Marine Corps bases and installations will continue to be improved.
Many of the wounded Marines are taking their rehabilitation time at the barracks as an opportunity to train in other occupational fields in the Marine Corps because their injuries will prevent them from returning to the infantry.
"They still want to be productive," said Cpl. Aaron Quiroz, the barracks enlisted quarters manager. "In between their medical appointments, they are taking college classes or working in other capacities on base."
Some of the Marines are awaiting a medical discharge once their treatment is concluded.
"After I was shot twice in the stomach I had to get my spleen and one of my kidneys removed, so I can't stay in," said Lance Cpl. Alex Doyle, a German Town, Md. native and rifleman formerly with Fox Co., 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment. "I don't want to waste all my time left in the Marine Corps just with rehab, so now I'm helping with administrative work."
The chaplain's visit was uplifting for these Marines, and it was also an opportunity to show chaplains care and want to help in the spiritual realm.
"I want you to ask us the hard questions about what you're dealing with," said Baker. "We want to surpass your expectations."

MOORESVILLE, N.C. - (AP) Dale Earnhardt Junior is leaving the company founded by his late father when his contract with Dale Earnhardt Incorporated expires at the end of season.
It's a shake-up certain to ignite a bidding war for NASCAR's most popular driver.
Earnhardt had asked for 51 percent ownership of the team now run by his stepmother, Teresa. Negotiations on a contract extension began before the start of the 2007 season and have been tense all along. Earnhardt's sister, Kelley Earnhardt Elledge, had set a deadline to get the deal done by the end of the month.
The two have adamantly stated that their only goal is to help Junior win Cup championships, something he's been unable to do at DEI. Earnhardt hasn't been a legitimate title contender since 2004. In 2005, he had a horrendous season when Teresa Earnhardt split up his crew, and he failed to make the Chase for the championship.
He rebounded last year by making the Chase, but was never a threat for the title.

One patient has been killed and three others suffered slight injuries in a fire at Durham Regional Hospital this morning.
The fire was initially reported as an explosion on the hospital's sixth floor around 2:15 a.m.
Hospital operations chief Katie Galbraith says officials are trying to determine where and how the fire started.
Galbraith says the hospital's sprinkler system worked properly and the fire was controlled as about 30 firefighters arrived. Other patients in the 30-bed, long-term care unit were moved to other parts of the hospital.
The names of the victims have not yet been released.
Some other patients were moved because of flooding caused by the sprinklers.
Durham Regional is a 369-bed acute care hospital.

Talktalk is the most complained about ISP this year, says Ofcom
Received 0.56 complaints per 1,000 customers in the first quarter
UK ISP Talktalk was the most complained about British broadband provider in the first quarter, according to a report released today by regulator Ofcom that measures customer complaints against UK telecom providers.
As the fifth report of its kind by Ofcom, the data tell which providers have generated the most complaints to the telecoms regulator from the last quarter of 2010 through the first quarter of 2012.
Talktalk received 0.56 complaints per 1,000 customers in the first quarter, whereas Sky and Virgin Media were the least complained about providers, receiving 0.15 and 0.17 complaints per 1,000 customers, respectively.
BT was the second most complained about telecoms provider with 0.38 complaints per 1,000 customers. Orange tallied a close third with 0.37 complaints per 1,000 customers.
We asked Talktalk for a statement regarding the figures, to which it replied and seemed happy enough that the level of complaints against it was down from the previous quarter.
"We are pleased that Ofcom's data shows that complaints are 31 per cent down for broadband compared with the same period last year," a spokesperson told The INQUIRER.
"We have been working hard to deliver improvements that give our customers a better experience...we do recognise there is still work to do and we are continually pushing through improvements."
What we assume was a rather smug spokesperson at Virgin Media said, "We're pleased to see our continued good performance. We want to deliver a fantastic customer experience each and every time and continue to invest in our next generation digital services to bring all the benefits to homes throughout the UK."
Ofcom said its customer satisfaction research aims to provide useful information for consumers and also "to incentivise operators to improve their performance". This we hope it will do, as judging by the figures it might want to have a word with Talktalk. µ

It doesn't matter how healthy lunch is if your child doesn't eat it. This is a lesson I learned after my son confessed to tossing his carrots, more than once.
Getting children on board with healthy eating takes more than sending them to school with a healthy lunch. So how do you get them to eat the good for growing bodies stuff instead of dumping it in the trash? How can you help them get beyond ordering corndogs and chicken nuggets when they go through the lunch line?
Simple solution — ask. What would they like for lunch? Expect to hear candy, cookies or chips for an answer. Welcome it. This is a great chance to talk about making healthy choices and how treats fit into meal planning. You'll not only keep food out of the trash but you may also plant seeds to help your children make healthier choices, especially when they're not with you.
Here are some tips to help you get your children eating healthier lunches:
What creative things are you or your child's school doing to encourage children to eat healthier foods? Please share your ideas.
To our children's health,

Wild Turkey tells Aussie blokes to 'bird up'
Campari Australia has launched a new brand campaign for Wild Turkey bourbon that urges men to 'Bird up' and take on difficult challenges.
"This is the beginning of an enduring campaign that positions Wild Turkey Bourbon for solid growth in the years to come," the brand's group marketing manager Sally Byrne said.
Owen Trevor of Luscious International directed the ads.
Trevor commented: "From the outset, I loved the idea of saluting men who step up. When I saw the initial script, I wanted to start shooting immediately. Rarely do you get such a fantastic chance to unleash a full bag of tricks."
As well as a 60-second ad, the campaign features two 30-second executions.
AJF Sydney's creative director Adam Rose said: "Getting the opportunity to tinker with 1200bhp engines, climb Everest, play golf on the moon and be served bourbon by a turkey doesn't happen as often as I'd like these days, but thankfully it did on this job. From our very first strategy session to working with legendary Top Gun actor James Tolkan, it's been an absolute blast."
The campaign includes digital, outdoor and point of sale activity.

The idea is solid. But the American cheese factor was dialed up too high. The acting was slightly suspect as well. And then there was the "recounting of the story in the bar surrounded by mates and admiring womenfolk" scene. Why do clients feel compelled to include that?
I liked it
This is just terrible. The wing coming is confusing and unnecessary but I'm sure the client just loves that part. Not well directed and art direction is weak. In fact, not much good at all about this disaster.
Great spots, love the art direction and sound design.
I was in the add,
Lots of people everywhere, weeks to make and prep.
The main actor I spoke to and the extras all had fun. I sat near the real turkey, which wasnt shown much.I wonder why have it? Was awesome anyway.

Economic Downturn Slows Phoenix¿s Once-Booming Health Care Market
After more than a decade of rapid population growth and a thriving economy, Phoenix's once-booming health care market has recently adopted a more cautious outlook. Job losses and the subsequent loss of employer-sponsored health insurance, along with a high rate of home foreclosures, have adversely affected many Phoenix residents. At the same time, employers, especially small firms, and health plans have continued to search for ways to reduce health insurance premiums. In response, area hospitals and physicians increasingly were seeking closer collaborations and rethinking expansion plans. Against this backdrop of new-found provider caution, significant state-level attention to illegal immigration and a state budget crisis have sparked changes across the area's health care system.

Maybe keep a journal of your triggers. Why you think they are triggers. What they make you think of when you encounter one. How they make you feel. You can do this at home. Come the next therapy session you can bring your journal with you. Explain what you have been doing. Exploring your triggers. It will be seen as a step forward by your therapist. The fact that you are doing it during sessions. The more you learn about it and face it the weaker the trigger will become.

New MW3 DLC Will Have "Things That Players Have Never Seen Before"
Modern Warfare 3 players should expect big things in 2012, at least if Infinity Ward's Robert Bowling isn't just talking out of his multiplayer map. Talking in a COD Elite Video nabbed first by CVG, he revealed that the first scheduled MW3 DLC – yes, actual DLC and not just a map pack – drops in January. And he's hinting at big things. "The way we're doing downloadable content this year is unlike we've never done before. Not only in how you can get it – in content drops or choose for the collection – but also the type of content you're getting."
If that sounds familiar, it's because he's basically talking about the promised premium content for Call of Duty: Elite that we spent so much time talking about last fall. Even so, it's a tantalizing hint that the Call of duty multiplayer experience is going to be vastly improved, at least for Elite Premium members. Alas, it's only for Xbox, at least at first. That much was confirmed by an Activision spokesperson who told Computer and Videogames: "Today we informed the Call of Duty Elite Premium community that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Elite Content Season will officially kick off on January 24 for Xbox users. We'll have more details about the entire 2012 MW3 Content Season in early January, so stay tuned for updates."
Bowling has since followed up on all this via Twitter, posting a screenshot from the new DLC that you can see up top.

OBERTIS WILL REIGN AS OLD TIMERS KING AND QUEEN — Lifetime Maderans Jim and Adeline Oberti have created a legacy through family and business in their hometown, and tonight will be recognized as they are crowned ceremonial heads of the Old Timers Day Parade. "Well, I told her we're old timers. We've lived here a total of 145 years, and she's only 39," Jim jokingly said in reference to his wife. Adeline, actually 70, and Jim, 75, are the son and daughter of Italian immigrants. The Obertis met at a wedding reception receiving line and ended up lunching on the same balustrade step. Fifty-one years ago, 1937, the Obertis were married. It was the next fall that Adeline appeared at the fair for the first time and rode a horse in the parade that marched by her family's store, Cerioni's Clothiers, on South D Street.
NEW PRESIDENTS TAKE OVER CLUB LEADERSHIP — Three new faces will be taking over the position of three Madera clubs. Bill Driggs will become president of the Madera Kiwanis Club on Oct. 1st. Mike Purl is president-elect. The club will sponsor and participate in a number of activities such as the Children's Miracle Telethon, Special Olympics, Christmas Baskets, just to name a few. Majorie Cole is the new president of the Madera Women's Improvement Club. She has many activities planned for this year. Rick Cosyns takes the helm of the 20-30 Club. Laddie Lizak is vice president. The 20-30 club will donate their time to the Scholastic Olympics, the Madera County Spelling Bee, Linkage Program, Athlete of the Week, and Heartland Center.
BURGLARY WON'T KEEP MARTIN OUT OF PARADE — The Rev. Cleo Martin, who has not missed an Old Timers Day Parade in 16 years, refuses to be held back by the recent burglary of some of his gear. However the theft will mean that he can't show his entire team of eight ponies who have earned him more than 300 awards throughout the state. Last week two $1,500 harnesses, which accommodate four ponies, were taken from his home. Martin said two harnesses were left behind, and he will bring four ponies to the parade. "I wanted so badly to make this parade in Madera with the eight," said Martin, 69. "This might be my last year because of my health."
SALLY FRAZIER CAUGHT BEHIND THE HEADLINES — Madera County Superintendent of Schools, Sally Frazier, is the subject of this week's look "Behind the Headlines." Frazier admits to being 40 and holding. She says the biggest problem facing Madera County today is the need for considerate, responsible planning for its inevitable growth. If she could talk to a person from the past, it would be Leonardo Da Vinci, and if she could break a law without being punished it would be watering the yard without worrying if it's the right day. She says her handwriting reveals that she is lucky to have such a great secretary — "Thanks Ann." Sally says her favorite food is ice cream but wonders if she should say pizza? ...

A Hooper Bay high school basketball player helped lead Team Alaska to a national victory in the Native American Basketball Invitational tournament. The tournament was held in Phoenix, Arizona at the end of July at the U.S. Airways Center. Top 1 and 2-A players from all over Alaska came together in an all-star team lead by Coach Steve Craft of Akiachak.
One of the players was local athlete, Kacy Green, from Hooper Bay. He says the center they played in was enormous.
"It felt like we were in an NBA game or something like that, kind of like State this year," Green says.
He says crowds gathered in the hundreds. With Sixty-four teams competing, Team Alaska had to make its way through an extended pool. It included four teams in a silver bracket trying to get into the gold bracket for the championship game.
Team Alaska did just that, finishing with a strong 13-point lead over Arizona's Warriors team.
At the end of the fourth quarter, Alaska's Stu Towarak from Unalakleet made a slam dunk bringing their lead to 15 points, although he was called for a technical foul for hanging on the rim. The other team got two free throws, but with just two seconds to play, Green says he didn't mind.
"I got the rebound and I seen Stu Towarak down at the other end," Green says. "So, there were two people open T.J. Hamilton too so I just passed it to T.J. and I guess T.J. hit it off the glass and Stu just slammed it in Alley-oop off the glass. He got a technical for hanging on the rim (laughs) but that's okay."
Team Alaska had a practice run prior to the tournament a week before the invitational at the Danny Miles camp in Oregon. Coach Craft says that it was key for the team to play with each other, as well as learn from Miles, who coached the Oregon Tech to the 2012 NAIA national championship. Miles is considered to be the second top coach in the history of men's college basketball, with a record of 971 wins in a 43 year coaching career.
Team Alaska got a chance to play the college basketball team which Green says helped the young guys come together.

(Tirmidhi) and The generous man is near Allah, near paradise, near men and far from hell, but the miserly man is far from Allah, far from paradise, far from men and near hell.

Who will Owls lose in MLB draft?
The MLB draft is Thursday and Friday, and while the Owls are currently coachless, what happens will have a direct impact on next year's squad.
Juniors are eligible for the draft, and FAU is sure to lose at least one, and that is LHP Jeff Beliveau (right). Beliveau (5-4, 4.58) will go down as a one-year wonder, a hired gun, who came in and did his job, eventually ending up as the staff ace once he starting finding the plate and stop walking a batter per inning.
Beliveau transferred from the College of Charleston to play for FAU, since he felt he would get more exposure to scouts, and it worked. The stats might be pedestrian, but as a left-hander who can reach the low 90s, he'll be the first Owl taken.
Where things can turn for FAU is the other two juniors likely to be picked – 2B William Block and SS Nick Arata.
Block actually had a slight dropoff this year (.347, 12 HR, 47 RBI after hitting .344 with 18 HR and 59 RBI last year), but he finished strong, strong enough to get drafted.
Arata was not on any scout's list, but put himself there with an outstanding season, combining solid hitting (.365, 13 HR, 50 RBI) with stellar defense.
Block (right) will probably leave for the pros no matter what round he is taken, just because he wants his chance now and doesn't want to risk things by staying for another year (the ghost of Derek Hutton is still in the dugout. Hutton was drafted in a late round as a junior, but decided to come back for his senior year. He hit about .200 and was not drafted after his senior season).
Arata may have a tough decision to make, and not know who the coach will be, might opt to sign.
That would mean FAU would have to replace its middle infield and two of its biggest bats.
OF Mike McKenna will ge drafted, as will 3B Daniel Cook.
RHP Mike Obradovich could be a late-round pick, based on his late season heroics, and a couple of relievers could slide in based on their ability to throw in the 90s – Brandon Kloess and Brett Cannon.
Well, the three pitchers the staff will be built around are Mike Gipson (4-2, 6.10), Adam Morrison (5-2, 5.51) and Glenn Troyanowski (3-1, 2.89) (right).
That's not a bad nucleous, but as FAU has learned the last three years they have missed out on regionals, you can never have too many arms. Cooney said Kenny Grey, a pitcher who has been injured and gone through Tommy John surgery, is ahead of schedule on rehab and could end up in the starting rotation.
Some of the other starters and semi-starters position players that will be back are 1B Travis Ozga, OF David Wilson, OF Jeremy Griffiths, DH Tom Hatcher, OF Colby Gratton, C Nick Criaris.
I wouldn't say it has the looks of a team that is going to break the string of three straight seasons without a regional appearance.
The Owls have been in a slump, and while injuries can be pointed to as part of the problem, it's clear the Owls have not had enough talent, especially on the mound, to overcome them.
The new coach will have a challenge ahead.
Not a great day for the Belt in the baseball regionals and softball world series. After beating No. 1 seed Florida in the softball opener, Louisiana-Lafayette lost to Texas A&M, and New Orleans and Western Kentucky BOTH LOST in their regional openers and will have to climb out of the loser's bracket (as will FSU and UF, who play each other today in Tallahassee).

Medical Noncommissioned Officers earn rite of passage
January 25, 2012
By Douglas DeMaio, Bavaria Medical Department Activity Public Affairs
VILSECK, Germany -- Thirteen Noncommissioned Officers of Bavaria Medical Department Activity were sworn into the NCO corps at an induction ceremony here at the Vilseck movie theater Jan. 20.
Soldiers from health clinics in Bamberg, Grafenwoehr, Hohenfels, Illesheim, Katterbach, Schweinfurt and here took an oath to uphold their duty as Noncommissioned Officers.
"To be recognized by your fellow NCOs and to be sponsored by an NCO into the corps, with their backing, it's beyond words," said Sgt. Isaac Carpenter, who works in personnel and operations office at the Bamberg Health Clinic. "I was promoted in 2006 but… never had a chance to be actually inducted. Pinning on was very emotional, but the induction ceremony is something, because of operational tempo and work, I have always had to miss out on, so this is something I can't really describe."
One NCO, who sponsored an NCO inductee in the ceremony, described his induction experience years ago as being memorable.
"It meant a lot to me after I went to the ceremony," said Staff Sgt. Clinton Long, the detachment sergeant at the Katterbach Health Clinic. "The guest speaker said 'don't hold on to what you used to do as a junior enlisted or specialists; you're going to be held to a different standard.' That made a big impression on me."
Long also remembers something his guest speaker said about the NCO Creed during his induction ceremony.
"We were supposed to know the NCO creed as newly promoted sergeants," Long said. "This really meant a lot to me. What he said was 'I don't really care if you know it verbatim, but as long as you live it. That's the most important thing.' I will never forget that."
The guest speaker of BMEDDAC's NCO induction ceremony, Command Sgt. Maj. Jimmy Sellers, was not at a loss for motivational words while addressing the new inductees; he is also no stranger to mentoring NCO.
"It was over 26 years ago, as a kid right here in Vilseck, Germany, I sat in probably what still are the same chairs sitting in this theater and I thought about being a Soldier," Sellers said, who is the 7th Army NCO Academy commandant. "It started all right here for me.
"Over time, I've learned that NCO induction ceremonies are one of the most important things we can do for our NCO Corps; it helps set the tone for what is expected of the Noncommissioned officer."
Sellers spoke about the need for NCOs to live by the Army values and serve as an example to their fellow Soldiers.
"Now that you have crossed the time honored line from being a Soldier to becoming an NCO, you are the standard," he said. "Every Noncommissioned Officer leaves a legacy, good or bad, with the piece of the Army he or she leads; never forget the enduring nature of our business. Noncommissioned Officers who model good self-discipline habits build well-disciplined Soldiers and units. Be proud, not only of what you've accomplished, but what you are about to."

Welcome to 'Zombie of the Week,' folks, where each week we'll present you with a different brain-eating member of the undead that has captured our fancy. There is no methodology to our Zombie Awesomeness meter, just our own piqued interests. Got a zombie we should see? Comment below. No zombie is too small, too short-lived, or too gross.
"For Jane: We kid because we love."
Our curious fascination with the transformation of our beloved literary classics threaded with monster mayhem has bedazzled the publishing industry and spurred a litany of mashings from Tolstoy to Lincoln. (Your First Look: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer) Even Hollywood is jumping on the bandwagon, signing the newbie genre's top sellers to big budget movie deals. As far as a literary renaissance is concerned, publishers may have found their meal ticket. Lured by the promise of gore and ghouls, readers have revisited the classics in solid numbers.

But splattering blood on Jane Austen? It was a risk that paid off ten-fold for Quirk Books in 2009 with Seth Grahame-Smith's Pride & Prejudice & Zombies ($12.95, Amazon), the zombie-infused regency romance that went from spoofy spook to best seller, the point of origin for the great monster mashing trend. To continue the franchise, Quirk decided to revisit its Austen miscreation to tell the tale of how it all began. Pride & Prejudice & Zombies: Dawn of the Dreadfuls ($12.95, Amazon) returns us to the beginning of the English countryside's zombie woes and the evolution of the Bennett sisters from proper young ladies to slayers of the undead.
Because Austen provided no prequel of her own, author Steve Hockensmith (Holmes on the Range) took up the task of creating a zombie-centric plot required to measure up to standards of both Austen and horror fans – no easy task. Now a NYT Best Seller, the book seems to have struck a chord with both, and though Hockensmith says he's still been hit with backlash from Austen purists, he's just having a little fun. With zombies.
AT: So I was doing a bit of Googling and read that when you set out to write this book it was pitched as a sequel, not a prequel.
SH: Yes, correct. When I first started, it was definitely a sequel that they had on the table and the more we talked about it the more it swung around to being a prequel because of all of these fun, unanswered questions to play with – not all of which I answered purposely, but certainly we addressed some of them and the one that I found the most interesting was the transformation of Jane Austen's beloved and demure Bennett sisters into fierce, zombie-beheading warriors. I thought, "Now, that would be a fun thing to watch happen, so let's watch it happen."

AT: I have to ask you about your Jane Austen-cred? Did you have a lot of experience with her work before writing this book?
SH: I had read her way back in college, and the thing that was funny was that at the time, I found her stuff very frustrating. And I found her frustrating for reasons that in hindsight, I completely understand and they were about me, not about Jane. I read P&P and Sense & Sensibility and I had the same reaction to both: I kind of wanted to grab everybody and shake them real hard and say, "Just talk to each other!"
There's all this drama about misunderstandings and what so and so is really feeling. And as an 18 or 19-year-old American guy, I found that sort of infuriating. It just seemed so incredibly frustrating. There was just a big aspect of it that I was missing and I didn't clue into it until I saw the P&P the miniseries many years later. It was a revelation: it's funny.
AT: So how different (or similar) were you willing to make the writing styles of the two P&P&Z books?
SH: They're very different by necessity, and I think people will realize that because if we don't have P&P 2 to mash-up with wackiness, then we must create our own P&P 2 by writing in Jane Austen's style and inserting our own wackiness, which would negate the same thing again and would have been horrible. I think to our credit that never really was on the table.
The idea was to take the ideas and the setting and the premise and tell another story and make that story as good as we could make it. We din't have any conversations about "Jane-ing me up." Certainly, I have different styles and many writers do. There are many different styles that you can write in and I wasn't going to write this in a super modern mode with some sort of punchy thriller with five word sentences and a lot of BAM and POW and that kind of thing.
At the end of the day, it's a book about zombies descending on an English village. It's going to move differently than P&P&Z because it's a regency comedy of manners.
AT: So where did your zombie lore come from?
SH: Zombies are a fairly new addition to the cannon of monsterdom. Really the modern zombie goes back just to the Night of the Living Dead. There's a ton of material out there, but it seems like there's not a lot of diversity out there. And horror fans might beat me up for that because I'm not a huge horror fan myself. I like what I consider the good stuff within the genre, but I don't consume it in vast quantities. So what I did was just sort of reacquaint myself with the classics. I went back and I watched Night of the Living Dead, the original. That's the touchstone. That's where you've got to start.
Then it was Dawn of the Dead the original, which for me, is a special zombie movie, which is probably my favorite of the classic Romero era because it's able to be a good scary zombie movie, but it's also an adventure movie and it also has such a great social satire aspect to it. It's got some things to say. It's the grand slam of classic era zombie movies.
Then of course, there was the film that had the treatment that I'd like to capture with zombies, which was Shaun of the Dead. It's scary and it's funny and so often you can have one and not the other. It's commenting on zombie movies, but it never crosses that line where the satire overwhelms the situation. It walks that tightrope perfectly of having its tongue in its cheek, but also having that feat that that cheek is about to be ripped off and eaten at any second.
(More on Techland: E-Readers Get First Chapters of Dawn of the Dreadfuls With Free Download)
AT: The descriptions were pretty awesome. I like the descriptions of the way the flesh was hanging off of the corpse. How did you visualize the appearance of the zombies?
SH: I did have to do a little bit of that, which is one of the not so fun parts of writing about zombies. I wanted to know what color do dead bodies really turn, and you've got Google and I'm looking at it with one eye and my head turned away because you don't know what's going to pop up.
I didn't want to delve into that stuff too much, but I wanted the descriptions to have enough verisimilitude that you really buy that this is a dead body. Because you could be really generic about it: There was a zombie. And the zombie chased them. And they killed the zombies. It seemed to me that if you're going to do zombies, you've got to give them personality, you've got to give them individuality or it's just going to be this blur. I tried to think creatively with my zombies. There was one with no arms and legs that moved around like an inchworm, but very fast. Then there was the one in the lake who was tied to a rock.
There were a couple that I wanted to work in and I couldn't. I wanted them to find a zombie who had hung himself and they find him swinging around by a rope trying to eat people so they use it like a piñata for target practice. I wasn't able to work that in, but maybe in another book.
AT: I think my favorite moment of the book is when Jane kills a zombie in the bedroom with the battle-axe.
SH: Oh yes. You know I toyed around with having her be a complete bitch. You'd get to finally see inside her head and what you realize is that it's all a front. It's all a lie. The Jane you think you know is just a complete creation and underneath it all she's just a nasty, vile, cynical bitch. And I just couldn't do it.
It would have been heartbreaking because of course we all love Jane. It would have been funny, but it would have been funny at the expense of a lot of sentiment. That, and I would have brought upon the Jane-ites with their fiery torches.
(More on Techland: Dawn of the Dreadfuls' Unmentionable Takes Battle-Axe to the Skull)
AT: What are you telling the Austen purists? There is some hate coming your way.
SH: It's something that I understand. I grew up as a fan. I was a Star Trek fan. Years later when J.J. Abrams comes traipsing along and says that he's going to re-imagine this thing that you loved from your youth, there's going to be some trepidation. Are they going to be respectful, or are they just going to trash it? I totally get where they're coming from.
On the other hand, I would say that certainly with the Quirk Books, I would hope that our affection for Jane Austen comes through. That's why it was very important to me that the dedication of the book be: "For Jane: We kid because we love." For me, that captures what I'm all about. I'm not doing this to flip Jane Austen the bird. I'm a guest in her home.
And as far as this genre of mash-ups is concerned, it's nothing new. In the 60s there was a movie called, Robinson Crusoe On Mars. It's been done before. It's a way to have fun. It's a way to play on the playground in the amusement park of literature. If we're going to start walling off parts of the playground and say, you're not allowed to go there, I just think that's a loss to everybody.
AT: One of my biggest curiosities heading into the book was how you were going to introduce new characters and tie up their story lines before the events of P&P take place.
SH: Yes, that was one of the challenges because it is a prequel that takes you to a predetermined point and then it had to, to a point, have romantic elements to it. But if you know that Elizabeth and Jane end up with these characters that you don't even meet until P&P or P&P&Z – which ever way you want to look at it, then you know that these romances have a conclusion.
What I tried to do is use the romances that are in the book to explain in someway, or cast some light upon, why Jane and Elizabeth would be drawn to the men they ultimately are. I especially think that this is the case for Elizabeth. She meets two guys in this book, both of whom have strong points in their favor, both of whom have elements of Darcy in them, and yet they're not Darcy. One thing I think some people might have done, and I dug my heels in before I could even be pushed in this direction, I think some people might have done a story where we see Elizabeth's first true love – whoever it was who came before Darcy. I was determined not to do that because for me Elizabeth has one true love, and that is Darcy. I was not going to mess with that. I wasn't going to have the tragic pre-Darcy guy who is everything that Darcy is, but dies.

AT: So after all you've learned, if you encountered a zombie, what would you do?
SH: I would run shrieking in the other direction because I know all of those great skills that the Bennett acquire over the course of the book, I have none of them. It could be a zombie grandma with a walker – Oh, boy! See there's a great idea. Has anybody done a zombie with a walker? See, I need to keep doing this stuff. So yeah, it could be a zombie grandma with a walker hobbling after me and I would still scream and run in the other direction. I'm a writer not a fighter. My self-defense skills were not improved by the writing of the book, but perhaps my awareness of my lack of self-defense skills was improved. At least I can say that.
AT: What's next to for you? Any other mash ups in the works?
SH: We're definitely kicking around ideas. Hopefully we can have something to trumpet to the world soon.

From: John R. Drebus
Received: Jan. 9
I read with interest Karen Greathouse's short column, "Encourage students to be critical thinkers," (The Republic, Jan. 7).
Greathouse begins with a quote from the 2012 platform of a Texas political party that opposes the teaching of "Higher Order Thinking Skills" (HOTS). A careful reading of the quote, however, reveals that their opposition is not against critical thinking in the classroom but against an educational philosophy known as Outcome-Based Education (inferred to have been relabeled HOTS to make it more palatable).
Next, her article discusses a study by Richard Arum (apparently a reference to his book "Academically Adrift: Limited Learning on College Campuses") that purportedly questions the value of a college education, given the poor record of colleges teaching their students critical thinking.
Finally, Greathouse makes the leap from Texas politics and a critique of college-level learning to what appears to be her ultimate point. She suggests the Indiana standardized curriculum be reshaped "into a more meaningful learning environment that allows for individual inquiries and perspectives."
It is disappointing that Greathouse didn't use the first part of her article to offer evidence that the current state curriculum doesn't provide such an environment and then make specific recommendations for improvement.
Interested citizens may wish to visit the website of the Indiana Department of Education (doe.in.gov/achievement/curriculum) and reach their own conclusions about the standards that have been set for our students' education.
It would appear the emphasis is on providing the essential "lower level" thinking skills as defined by Benjamin Bloom (knowledge, comprehension application) without excluding the use of Bloom's "higher level" thinking skills (analysis, synthesis evaluation).
Before we encourage students to discover their "own truths" as Greathouse suggests, they must first master the foundation skills of spelling, grammar and composition, along with the basic axioms and postulates (statements accepted as true) of mathematics. Only then will they have the tools and confidence needed for critical thinking at the higher levels.

Teaching Tools, 19 February 2007
Begin the lesson by asking the students to name some myths and legends, fairy tales and fables that they know of. Do they know from which country the stories originated? Are they stories about how the world was created? Are they adventure stories in which good fights and wins over evil? Is there a moral to the story as in Aesop's or La Fontaine's fables?
Use the content of the section Introduction as a link to the rest of this lesson and the following lessons.
Hand out copies of "The deaf man and the blind man", which was told by Batula Mohammed Ali, a thirteen year old Somali refugee at Kakuma refugee camp, Kenya. Have the story read aloud around the class.
Comprehension and discussion questions
How did the handicap of each man prevent him from following his people?
How could the deaf man be of any help to the blind man, and the blind man be of help to the deaf man? What word could be used to describe the help they gave each other?
Hand out copies of the story "The party", told by Abraham Marial Kiol, a 14 year old Sudanese of the Dinka Bor tribe. This story could also be read out aloud.
Comprehension and discussion questions
How were the living things divided into the two groups – the animal group and the birds group?
