A Fort Carson soldier was honored Friday for helping save the life of an Air Force Academy cadet.
Sergeant First Class Jesus Rodriguez was at the Garden of the Gods Park with his family earlier this month when he saw a rock climber fall. Rodriguez used the skills he learned in Army Combat Lifesaver Training to help the injured climber, Cadet 2nd Class Jeff Garrett, until paramedics arrived.
SFC Rodriguez was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal for his lifesaving efforts.
"I didn't expect to get this," Rodriguez said through his smile.
The Air Force Academy says that Garrett was a triathlon athlete. He is still recovering in the hospital in fair condition.

Songs from "Song for Our Life":
Song for Our Life
Today the trees are looking like the trees
And the sun shines down just like the sun
No metaphor is needed to describe this day
It speaks for itself in every way
But we can't find the line that fills our eyes
In the shade of what we want to say
Our own big words we're hiding behind
Never allow us to find
What He shows us is the way
What He calls the truth He gave
When He made the life He made for you and me
Wherever we are
It's never too far
It burns like the sun and it shoots like a star
His song for our life
We sit behind the glass and watch it all go by
Pushing things to see if it will change
Over and over it's the same old thing
A sunny day we never seem to sing
While the same small voice that brought us to life
Calls our name like a song in the light
A tune that plays from the earliest time
Leads us to where we can find
I've run a race that always rages
chasing truth that always changes
running back to starting lines again
Exhaustion calls out from the running
Stealing light out from the morning
Wondering where the steps will really end?
Can there be a race where winning
starts at the beginning?
I wanna live out in the sunshine rising up to meet His face
In the good ground sowing growing seeds of grace
To relate more than religion
With eternal notes of song
Is to hear His voice and find that you belong
I've watched my friendships glow and fade
Like supernovas on parade
Left behind on cool and dying stars
Moments hang like rocket silence
Dreams are lost in distant violence
Even friendship wonders who we are
There can be a tie that binds us
when the words won't find us
I'm learning that we grow in steps
But not all steps are growing
I'm seeing that we feel these facts without our knowing
This time we'll plant a step and turn around
To jump this crashing tide
Into water flowing, rising up a spirit glowing
Those Who Stand
I was caught in the water
With the waves above my head again
While the shore it got so far away
As I swam against my hopeless sin
But Jesus reached down and took my hand
And the water became as dry land
My soul cried Hallelujah! Praise my God!
Those who call upon the Lord
Call on the strongest power
And they shall not be moved
Those who stand upon His name
Stand on the strongest tower
And they shall not be moved
Now I'm on that narrow way
With the sun of grace fresh in my eyes
While the shadow of His hand falls down
From the troubled clouds that pass me by
As He's lifting me on that hill
I see horizons in His will
The world cries Hallelujah! Praise my God!
Why should I be afraid?
When I call on His name?
Little Man
Little man
I know you're still behind the window
And I can't
Give you hands that break through glass
But there's a joy and growing treasure
In the times our minds will share
I will meet you there
I will meet you there
(Far beyond the winder skies
The wind will hold our eyes)
Oh little man
I try to plant a growing field under your feet
But I can't steal the meaning of a season
Though it seems like I'm the enemy
of perfect in your mind
Seeds don't lose their purpose
In the rains of time
Little man
I know I'm tall and made of iron
But I can't
Make you a lion in a cage
When the fields are dry and lonely
And your mind is filled with rage
I can hear you there
I can hear you there
Onward Christian Soldiers
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching as to war
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before
Though the road becomes a forest
And the footsteps hide your home
The faithful cries of righteous lives
Always reach the throne
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching as to peace
and the miracles that happen
When this world becomes the least
Sometimes you feel forgotten
And the workers are so few
But the gates of hell will not prevail
Against what God will do
A million lights can cover up
The voice of one who's lost
A single soul must rise and hear
The call to count the cost
Count the cost
Onward Christian soldiers
Marching unto heaven
Without the false protection
Of earthly crowns upon their head
When the dusty race is over
And your new feet walk on gold
God's praises loud will long resound
From the voices that you told
God's praises loud will long resound
From the voices that you told
Her Feet Walk Next to Mine
Songs from "New Songs and Hymn Reconstruction":
These Hands
By the waters of a stormy lake
That's where you'll find me
On the dusty trails that many take
That's where you'll find me
In the desert where the starlight glows
That's where you'll find me
In the morning when the rooster crows
That's when you'll save me cause
These hands are your hands
And these feet are your feet
And these words will claim your name
To the minds they meet
And this voice is your voice
And these eyes are your eyes
And these footsteps follow you
They will testify
On a roof to raise a sick man's bed
That's where you'll find me
In a little boy with fish and bread
That's where you'll feed me
In a tax man hiding in a tree
That's where you'll find me
In a swallowed soul who tried to flee
That's where you'll rescue me
To Be
Hey old man where'd you get the frown
Why are your tired eyes starin' down
Oh can't you see that was the way to be
Bright eyed and free
Hey lady where you gonna run off to
And why are those dollars chasin' you
Oh can't you see that was the way to be
Penniless and free
When tomorrow touches hills of time
A long long way from here
And my breath has left a trail behind
Of laughter and of tears
Will the shadow of the trees fall down
and sweep our hopes and fears
Or is there something more we're supposed to be
Hey little boy why you tryin' to play
With all those joys your gonna give away
Trade all you see for your final plea and your copper key
Hey dyin' man whatcha tryin to say
Your silver hair is so familiar grey
Oh can't you see that you were me
And time flows so free Time flows so free
Praise You
I will praise you in the morning
For another view of light
I will start the day by counting ways
You have blessed this mortal sight
And if the morning does not linger
But there is no sunset to find
I will count myself completely blessed
To have known this morning time
You see my God He saved me from the fire
And his son He pulled me from the sea
And someday my God is gonna take me
Where I only long to be
I will praise you in the evening
when the sun has closed the day
And I'll take the time that you've made mine
And I'll use it just to say
That you could not have done better
With the things that I've done wrong
And to know that you've forgiven me
Makes the night ring out in song
Wake them up
This world can be so hard
To things of flesh and bone
And sights can be so strange
To those so far from home
And some will close their eyes and sleep
Embrace the darkness there
We've got to see their eyes and seek
To keep a vigil there
Chorus We've got to wake them up with praises
Give the world a reason why
To turn their darkness into dancing
Underneath a brand new sky
We've got to testify to greatness Of the golden ark of life
And let their wandering turn to purpose
Following a rising light
The wind can be so dry
To those with tired faces
And dreamers follow lines
To blue and heavy places
And some will stare into a place
That seems to glitter far
We've got to show his eyes of grace
Will meet them where they are
Your Will
Sometimes I feel your will is written on the back of my hand
But I'm too busy grasping at straws to see it clearly
Sometimes I feel your will is written on the front of my forehead
And everyone around me can see it
Everyone can see it but me
Sometimes I feel your will is like the bright blue sky
And I can stand in awe of miles and miles of clear blue wonder
Other times I feel your will is like the deep blue ocean
And I can only stare, stare and wonder
your will is written in your word
And I pray you'll write it, write it on my heart
Your word is a chorus to my world
And if I listen I can hear my part
I don't ever have to wonder wonder about your will
Sometimes I know your will is like a million bucks a minute
And a great big river is flowing into my empty cup
And in a thousand lifetimes I could never spend it
But in this single life I just don't spend enough
And then I recognize with all the mess my hands have made
Every time it is your hands that set me on my feet and clean it up
And then I realize the price it has been paid
And it was so much higher than a million bucks
No Tarot cards No 1-900 calls
Don't need to read the stars
I know the one who made them all
Don't need a horoscope or tea leaves left in my cup
No séance guy to give me hope
I know the one who makes the stuff
Eternal Father
Hymn part as traditionally sung
Hear our cry Eternal Father
Calm our hearts in times of strife
Be our rock against the crashing sea
And let us walk these waves
And keep our eyes on you
Let us keep our thoughts on you
And let our footsteps follow true
Till the work is done
And they lead home again
Random Songs:
Christmas Song
Living in the past is rough
When you don't go back far enough
2000 years and miles away
Before you even lived a day
And underneath a million stars
You may wonder where you are
And at the end of travelling days
You may wonder where you'll stay
But like a shepherd on a thankless night
If you need to find a hopeful sight
You will find it in the simple birth
Of a single Son who walked the earth
To a Cross that showed a lost ones' worth
Do you have the Joy of the Angels?
Do you have the Hope of His Promise?
Do you have the Peace of Forgiveness?
These are gifts from on High
Do you have a manger in your heart
That is where your Savior starts
Have you reached a hill so far away
And let Him take your sins away
If you want a peace deep in your soul Like a starry night so long ago
Forget the sleep of shepherds fright
Follow His forgiveness light
Where angel voices fill the night
Noel Noel
Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
Do you have a Joy like a chorus?
Do you have a Hope like a child?
Do you have a Peace like a river?
These are gifts you can't buy
Do you have a manger in your heart
That is where your savior starts
All songs and arrangements (c) Mike Shaw

East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Geno Smith threw for one touchdown
and ran for another to lead the New York Jets to a 37-27 win over the Oakland
Raiders at MetLife Stadium.
Smith, who was pulled from last week's 23-3 loss to the Miami Dolphins,
bounced back and completed 16-of-25 passes for 219 yards and also rushed for
50 yards on five caries.
Kellen Winslow caught three passes for 61 yards and Jeremy Kerley finished
with four catches for 41 yards and a touchdown for the Jets (6-7), who snapped
a three-game losing streak.
"This is a big win for us, clearly," said Jets coach Rex Ryan. "Today was a
day where the offense had to pick up the defense. Same with the special teams.
The defense wasn't very sharp."
Nick Folk was 3-for-3 on field goals, including a season-long 51-yarder in the
Oakland started the game alternating between Matt McGloin and Terrelle Pryor
at quarterback, but stuck with McGloin from the midway point of the second.
McGloin finished 18-for-31 for 245 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Pryor was a pedestrian 2-for-5 for 20 yards in just two series.
Marcel Reece rushed for a career-high 123 yards and a touchdown and Rod
Streater caught seven passes for a career-high 130 yards and a touchdown for
the Raiders (4-9), who have dropped 13 straight games played in the Eastern
time zone. Oakland's last win in the Eastern time zone came against the
Pittsburgh Steelers on Dec. 6, 2009.
"We didn't start fast and gave up a lot of points. We turned the ball over and
put ourselves in a hole. I thought the offense did a great job trying to come
back in the second and give ourselves a chance," said Raiders coach Dennis
New York got on the board on its opening possession on Folk's 41-yard field
After forcing a punt on the ensuing possession, Smith threw his NFL-worst 20th
interception of the season at the Jets' 37. McGloin couldn't get anything
going and Sebastian Janikowski pushed his 52-yard field goal attempt wide
Smith bounced back and threw his first touchdown pass since Week 7 to Kerley
for a 10-0 lead. Kerley and Santonio Holmes both raced to the end zone down
the left side. Kerley, though, pulled up just inside the goal line and was
able to get position on his defender to haul in the score.
The Raiders got on the board 2:29 into the second quarter when Janikowski
split the uprights from 41 yards out.
Ed Reed picked off McGloin inside the Raiders' 10 to set up a 23-yard Folk
field goal. On 3rd-and-goal from the five, Smith floated a perfect pass to
Holmes in the back corner of the end zone, but Holmes dropped it to force the
field goal.
Antonio Allen blocked Marquette King's punt on the Raiders' next touch and
recovered it in the end zone for a 20-3 lead.
Oakland scored on the second play of the second half as Reece burst through
the line and raced 63 yards for a touchdown.
Later, Smith ran it in himself from eight yards out to cap a 10-play, 72-yard
trek to put the hosts in front 27-10.
McGloin connected with Streater for a 48-yard touchdown, firing a bullet as
Reed and Jets defensive back Antonio Cromartie collided going for the ball,
allowing Streater to waltz into the end zone untouched.
Folk and Janikowski traded field goals from 51 and 40 yards, respectively,
before Ivory made it 37-20 with a 15-yard run with 9:07 remaining.
Mychal Rivera caught a 1-yard TD pass with 2:24 left to make it a one
possession game, but the Raiders were unable to execute the ensuing onside
kick, and the Jets were able to run the clock out.
Game Notes
Smith went 138 pass attempts between touchdowns ... Reed notched his first
interception since picking off Colin Kaepernick in last season's Super Bowl
... Sunday marked Oakland's second trip to MetLife Stadium this season. The
Raiders lost to the Giants 24-20 in a Week 10 matchup.

Exclusive Interview: Jim Caviezel and Jonathan Nolan Discuss 'Person of Interest'
One of the most buzzed about Fall TV pilots is CBS' Person of Interest which was co-created by Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight Rises, The Man of Steel) and stars Jim Caviezel.
We recently caught up with both guys to chat about the new show, which features an ex-CIA guy that teams up with a billionaire to fight crime.
Caviezel talks to us about what drew you him to a television role and why he thinks it's the next 24 cross with The Bourne Identity. Nolan, famous for penning films like The Dark Knight, Memento and The Prestige talks about how Caviezel's character Reese is somewhat of a homage to Batman and also gives us some pointers on the type of action the series is going to have. Of course, I also had to ask Nolan how the The Dark Knight Rises is shaping up, but he, of course, kept his answer short and vague for fear of Warner Bros. using knockout gas on him.
Person of Interest debuts on CBS on September 22. Check out our interviews with series cast members Michael Emerson and Taraji P. Henson as well.

Funny how conservatives are directly fighting against the conservative-led, Scalia-penned decision less than 5 years ago....
Justice Scalia's decision in the landmark 2008 case District of Columbia v. Heller:
'nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.'
The ruling also allows limitations on ownership of 'dangerous and unusual' weapons that are not in 'common use' — like, for example, assault weapons.
The NRA, meanwhile, is acting like the gun 'nuts' that so many gun owners are not. The extremity of their position on some of these matters is ludicrous.
Meanwhile, newly-elected, Senator Cruz (R-Texas) tries to claim any assault weapon ban is 'unconstitutional'.
Take it up with Scalia, Ted....

The chairman of the National Trust warned that the new National Planning Policy Framework will lengthen planning decisions as developers and campaigners launch appeals.
The new regulations, which came into force on Tuesday, will be keenly contested in planning tribunals and courts as lawyers seek to define their meaning.
Planning minister Greg Clark published a substantially rewritten NPPF this week which included major new protections for the countryside after an outcry from campaign groups and The Daily Telegraph's Hands Off Our Land campaign
Sir Simon Jenkins, the Trust's chairman, said: "There will be litigation galore about this – anyone who thinks this is going to shorten the planning process is mistaken. It will go from 50 pages to 1000 pages very quickly."
The new NPPF, which cuts over 1,200 pages of planning guidance to just 49 pages, includes more than half a dozen key concessions to green groups.
Lawyers are likely to bicker about whether the NPPF, or existing councils' local plans, would be in force in a key 12 month transition period.
The NPPF says: "For 12 months from the day of publication, decision-takers may continue to give full weight to relevant policies adopted since 2004 even if there is a limited degree of conflict within this framework."
Christopher Boyle, a barrister at Landmark Chambers who sits on the Trust's council, said the new NPPF was "pointing in conflicting directions". He added: "That is good news for lawyers and their Masarati dealers, but not for delivery."
Ian Trehearne, a planning expert at City law firm Berwin Leighton Paisner added: "Developers and those promoting schemes can expect to have their developments held up by the courts because of the way the NPPF is drafted.
"The presumption in favour of sustainable development is not especially suitable for the forensic analysis a court demands. And the deliberately fuzzy definitions in the NPPF and Greg Clark's Foreword, which form part of the policy, are not intended to make this task easier."
He added that any successful litigation "would have to show that an approved development is not sustainable or that the presumption in favour of development should have been applied in a case where permission has been refused".
He said: "Any litigation will tend to cause uncertainty and I am sure that there will be quite a lot. As a result, local authorities, and the speed and certainty of planning decisions will be set back by it.
"Normally it takes about six to seven years for litigation of this sort to become exhausted, and I can't see that NPPF being any different."
John Hitchcox, chairman of property developer Yoo, said: "We could well see planning via appeal, as developers take to the courts to overturn decisions council members take to protect their own seats."
Mark Leeson, a director of McBains Cooper, a property and construction consultancy, added the revised NPPF represented "less certainty and more debate".
He said: "Our concern is that planning applications could take longer as policy makers struggle to understand how to fill the void left by the outgoing legislation and in the meantime, planning inspectors will be busier than ever."
A Communities and Local Government spokesman said "These reforms create a clear and simpler framework for planning decision to be taken. The new framework replaces over 1,300 pages in 44 separate documents with a simple guide that is just 49 pages long.
"This will put local people, rather than expensive lawyers, at the heart of planning.
"Local plans - produced by local communities having regard to the clear policies in the Framework - will become the keystone of the planning system and the basis for planning application decisions."
The news came as villagers in a Norfolk village won the right to take a planning approved under the draft NPPF to the High Court.
The villagers of Great Ryburgh, near Fakenham, Norfolk, want to challenge a North Norfolk District Council decision to grant permission for the relocation of a lorry park from a nearby brown-field site onto a green-field site in the village's centre.
Matthew Champion, a local campaigner, said: "The village doesn't want an eight acre lorry park but local wishes don't appear to carry any weight under this new draft framework."

Turns out there are 14 pit bull pups in need of good homes. And they only have a few more days before they are put down.
I know what you might be thinking: a pit bull -- are you nuts!?
But I really believe that this breed gets a bad rap -- and I'm not the only one.
Just look at the transformation of at least one of the pups owned by former Atlanta Falcon quarterback Michael Vick.
And check out this site, aptly named Bad Rap. Of special interest is the myth section. You know that story about pit bulls having lock jaws. Apparently, that's just one of many whoppers against pits that aren't exactly true.
As Cityline noted: The dogs only get 10 days. Today is Day 6.

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- A federal appellate court has upheld a South Carolina school district's decision to bar a student from wearing shirts with the Confederate battle flag on campus.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that it would not reinstate Candice Hardwick's lawsuit against the Latta School District. The court said in its ruling that students should be able to express their views, but also that school officials need to keep order and promote education.
Hardwick sued in 2006, arguing that public school officials in Latta violated her free-speech rights by making her cover up or turn Confederate-themed shirts inside out. A federal judge in South Carolina tossed that lawsuit in 2009.
An attorney for Hardwick did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

TechCrunch reports that, as part of its plan to diversify beyond Facebook, CrowdStar will launch It Girl (and Top Girl for iOS) franchise in Asia across Japan, Korea and China. Starting with NHN Japan, the company plans to introduce both It Girl and Top Girl to five Asian social networks in Q4 (October through December) alone. According to TechCrunch, Top Girl has already been downloaded from the App Store 4 million times.
In addition to launching It Girl on five Asian social networks before Dec. 31, CrowdStar reportedly plans to release another three games before year's end across Facebook, mobile and global networks. That amounts to more games released in the end of 2011 than CrowdStar put out in all of 2010.
It looks like the maker of hits like Happy Aquarium seeks to make a comeback, and according to TechCrunch, one of those eight games will hit this weekend. (We'll have more details on that soon enough.) But this comes just as competitor Zynga announces its own pseudo-independent social game platform and a ton of games. Anyone else feeling a bit ... claustrophobic?
What do you think of CrowdStar's plans to gain financial independence from Facebook? How do you plan on finding the time to play all of these new games that are likely to hit before the holidays? Sound off in the comments. Add Comment.

Jay's Taylor Swift Gem: Turns '22' Into '63': Watch
by Adam Buckman | June 8, 2013 at 9:23 AM | The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, TV News
Jay Leno did indeed turn 63 this year (on April 28) — which he celebrated by producing a raucous video that spoofed the Taylor Swift hit "22."
Jay's "63" aired earlier this week on "The Tonight Show" as part of the recurring bit called "Ask Jay Anything."
The thing we liked about this video: It shows that Jay is still game to entertain. Unlike his age-group peer on CBS (OK, David Letterman), Leno still goes for the gusto in these comedy bits, donning hairpieces and costumes and doing anything he can to bring the comedy home. And we also suspect that some of the bits he and his team are producing lately are aimed at demonstrating that they still have what it takes, even though they're all due to be driven from their jobs next winter.
You must watch the clip, above.

da Vinci® Robotic Lung Surgery
Robert Linker, MD, is the first thoracic surgeon in Louisville to perform a pulmonary lobectomy utilizing the da Vinci® Surgical System at Baptist Hospital East.
A pulmonary lobectomy is one of the most common lung cancer treatments. The procedure involves the surgical removal of the lobe of the lung for patients with early stage, non-small cell lung cancer.
Traditional lobectomy requires a large, eight- to 10-inch incision, which can result in substantial blood loss and a lengthy and uncomfortable recovery. Utilizing the da Vinci robotic surgical system enables surgeons to operate through a few small incisions, without spreading the ribs. Dr. Linker sees this technology as the next step in the evolution of Video-Assisted Thoracic Surgery, or VATS.
The robot allows for more precise movements and control, especially around the large blood vessels, and improves visualization of the lung's anatomy. Surgeons describe looking through the high-definition camera in 3D as being similar to seeing the lung during an open operation.
Patients also highly recommend the procedure. One patient, who returned home after just four days in the hospital said, "Recovery has gone well. There has been very little pain, and I noticed an improvement in my breathing right away. It's still a little tender, but I am back to my normal routine and enjoying my life every day."
In addition to avoiding the pain and trauma of a thoracotomy (cracking and spreading of the ribs), studies have shown that lung cancer treatment with a da Vinci pulmonary lobectomy can provide patients with several benefits over open surgery, including:
- Less blood loss and need for blood transfusions
- Shorter hospital stay
- Less pain and scarring
- Faster recovery and return to normal activities
- Faster return of pulmonary function
Patients have experienced less post-operative pain and a quicker return of pulmonary function. Studies also suggest lower cancer recurrence in patients with advanced disease due to better removal of lymph nodes with this procedure.

Clark Griswold of Rocklin transforms yard into 'Nutcracker' stage
By: Lauren Gibbs, The Placer Herald
Rocklin resident Jeff Migdal said he sees the similarities he has with Clark Griswold from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation." With a visit to his home on Charter Road around 7 p.m., you'll see why. His front yard transforms into a stage where his lights are the main attraction. Using more than 15,000 lights, Migdal, along with Rocklin resident Ken Benedict, have syncronized the lights to the music of Peter Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite," which he calls "The Nutty Light Show." "We did it because I was Clark Griswold a long time before Chevy Chase was," Migdal said jokingly to a crowd on opening night. About a year ago the brainstorming began among the duo and the construction and syncronizing took about five months, they said. "We knew this would take a lot of time," Migdal said. But it was something the two were set on bringing to life. A hand-painted, almost larger than life Nutcracker cutout sits on the edge of Migdal's lawn, while a 24-feet contraption on the other side of the lawn is used throughout the hour-long show to interperate the songs through lights. Two smiling, lit-up Christmas trees act as the narrators, keeping theater-goers informed on the scene changes. And a lit-up outline of a ballerina resembles Clara. The tricky part, Benedict said, was to get the lights to interpret the music. "It was tedious, but it's creative as heck," Migdal added. Luckily Bendict works for a lighting company and has assisted in light shows such as one in Old Sacramento, he said. In addition to the light show, attendees are encouraged to bring in canned goods that are donated to the Placer Food Bank. "It was an opportunity to have a lot of fun and to do something good for the community," Migdal said. In store for those who watch the show are confetti cannons and a snow machine programmed into the show, Benedict said. Part of what triggered the show's start for Migdal was wanting to give locals a chance to relax for an hour during the sometimes hectic holidays. "People don't slow down in this world," he said. "I kind of feel we're way too busy in this life." Roseville resident Gemma McKenney attended the show's premiere and had only good things to say about the show. "It was amazing," she said. "I've never seen anything like it." Although it's Migdal and Benedict's first year producing "The Nutty Light Show," they said they plan to make it an annual event. To see "The Nutty Light Show," bring blankets, canned goods to donate to the Placer Food Bank and a lawn chair to the show, which runs nightly at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. through Christmas Eve. ----- 'Nutty Light Show' What: Hour-long light show telling the story of Peter Tchaikovsky's "Nutcracker Suite" When: Show starts at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. daily through Christmas Eve Where: 4906 Charter Road in Rocklin Cost: Free Info: Bring lawn chairs and warm blankets

Spotted: Over-Dyed Sling Chairs
Posted by Erin | Filed under Inspiration, Musings
Overdyed rugs are such beautiful statements in any spaceNail Salon Blueprint – Ebook $16 Commission!, but when transformed into seating? They simply sing.
Still & Co. recently created an edition of over-dyed sling chairs for Sit and Read in a perfectly spring color combo of grassy green and vibrant yellow. Priced at just over $1600, I certainly wouldn't call the chairs affordable, but the look is so perfectly aspirational – and who knows, maybe DIY friendly?
In fact, check out the dying process in this video to get some ideas of your own!

The Inspiration Behind The Design – Pretty Pieces
Posted by FLOR | Filed under Inspiration
FLOR's Pretty Pieces rug takes our grid-like system of squares and transforms it into invigorating patterns that seem to go on endlessly.
This rug is a combination of four individual FLOR styles – Cambium, Force Field, Petal Pusher and Cut Flowers that possess random patterns so no two tiles are alike. These free flowing saturated colors and textures give the feel of walking into a beautiful garden.
The inspiration for this rug came from Josef Frank, widely regarded as one of the greatest influences in the history of architecture and design. He co-created the Vienna School of Architecture and was influential in what became modern housing. He believed functionality was key to design and architecture, and we here at FLOR obviously second that notion.
(Above: Interior spaces that used some of Josef Frank 's patterns)
Frank became an innovator in textile design and for a period of nearly 40 years he created more than 200 patterns. The linear, grid-like look popular during that period was too rigid for his taste so he improvised in a big way, as you can see in his creations. Scandinavian Design called Josef Frank's styles "Always in motion," which was the theme that spawned the creation of FLOR's Pretty Pieces Rug.

Why Don't You…?
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings
… go simply crazy with your bedding?
Indeed, why choose just one pattern when you can showcase as many patterns as you'd like? After all, your home should be a place for fun and whimsy, so decorate to your absolute delight.
Not sure the stacked blanket works for you (or are you an undoubtedly warm sleeper)? Try playing with textiles in other areas of your home: throw pillows on your sofa, tea towels in your kitchen and aprons in your mudroom. As a general rule, as long as the color palettes are complementary, you can mix as many patterns as your heart desires!
Happy mixing!

Fallify Your Home!
Posted by Erin | Filed under Design Tips, Inspiration, Musings, Solutions
Image Credit: Apartment Therapy
It's here – fall has arrived! My summer sheets have been replaced with a crisp woven blanket and I'm anxiously awaiting my first bonfire.
Whether you love autumn or not (can you tell I do?!), there's no arguing that it's a season of transition. Here are a few easy ways to get your home in the fall spirit – in hopes that you'll follow soon after!:
1. Textiles.
Each spring, I opt to throw my rugs in storage and leave my wood floors bare. Then, when the weather turns, I bring back my cozy sheepskins and jute rugs. Textiles are the easiest way to warm up a space – perfect for those dark, chilly nights!
2. Light.
Replace those bamboo shades and sheer, gauzy window treatments in lieu of a heavy textile to flock your windows. Bonus? Add a fun pattern for an unexpected pop to get you through the seasonal doldrums.
3. Color.
Bring in some jewel tones to accent your existing furnishings. Teal velvety throw pillows, harvest orange table runners and magenta vases make great fall transitional colors that you'll want to hang on to through spring.
4. Accent.
Fall foliage is beautiful and vibrant, so bring in a few sticks, pinecones and dried leaves to accessorize with nature's bounty. After all, nature is easily the most affordable upgrade.
Happy autumn, friends!

Entling Pack
All this so someone could be a tree ._. *sigh* Well, I guess I'll start this off with a descriptive quote: [quote]The Entling is the child of the great tree people, the Ents. It's very small
Show All
Show All
compared to the full-grown ents, and is full of nature's power. It uses nature's pull to keep its weapons in the air, gracefully levitating it as if it were using its limbs.[/quote] In all my fantastical lore, never have I seen a descriptive picture of a child Treant. What I do want to know is why a treant would need to grow its arms over time? Yeah, it's a tree, but...eh, I guess it's like a tadpole. Oh well. So, this odd combo was the brain child of both Last Wish and a new feller known as Shoska Shudo, a man with an obsession for trees and treefolk. The result is sort of disappointing, because I too wouldn't have minded seeing a tree person of some sort. This just looks like a horde of deer antlers smashed together into one big living mass. The only foliage on him is a mess of green splotches, which just look like grass stains or moss. The branches remind me of everything but tree limbs, and the feet look incredibly weird because the toes curve UP, for some reason. Moisture vaporators, maybe? Lastly, the neck deforms QUITE poorly, stretching out from the base of the torso like taffy. Not good : The textures don't seem to help the illusion much either. I was pondering what on earth texture he used, and it looked like he took a picture of a scratched up desk and applied it to this model. The face itself looks like a Deku Shrub from Legend of Zelda, and to top it all off, the texture repeats on the model! Yes, there are actually holes at the neck(which would have been fine normally,) and at the groin region. It also looks like its stretching on the thighs...either that or they're bad pants. Honestly, methinks this came out into the public WAAAY too fast, both model and skin. Everything about this screams rushed, and I would have rather waited for a clear-cut product than this one. "Averus, stop being an ass! This was the guy's first skin!" Yes, I know it was, but I also think he was too impatient and "settled" like most amateur modders tend to do. Here is what I think could improve this product: [b]The Model:[/b] This thing honestly could probably go for a bit of an overhaul all-around. The majority of the branches look decent, except for the ones that stick out in front and curve at a sharp angle. I have NEVER seen a tree do that. Ever. Another thing: Foliage. This sucker needs leaves! Lotsa lotsa leaves! Y'don't have to model every individual leaf, but at least make sections you could shader the leaves on. I've seen it done before on earth elementals on Neverwinter Nights, made in 2002, I feel pretty confident you could pull it off here. Also, arms. Seriously, just make the arms. The levitation illusion doesn't seem to be working here. EVerytime I see it swing, I'm trying to envision arms. I know, there's always the dilemma of making the hand grippature plausible, but honestly, I've seen games(See: Timesplitters) where there are characters with absolutely no semblance of a hand are holding guns in some silly fashion. Having a tree branch grab a gun is by no means out of the question. [b]The Skin:[/b] Alright, Shudo, I suggest you definitely start hunting for ways to either make or have a tree texture made for you. Yes, I know, shrivelled meatball, shrivelled meatball, but this alternative just isn't working. Also, check your shaders a little more carefully next time, as you named it "Spikey" instead of "Entling." I would also collaborate more closely with your model-maker LW, because what it appears to me is that he just made the model and shot it off to you to skin, which might explain the sloppy skin mapping. I'd also recommend practicing some shaders a bit, so you can get a little more creative with the effects on this project. Whew...anyone still reading? ._. No? Okay. I guess overall, this project had and still has plenty of promise, but a tree is not something you can cut corners with(though you could probably cut corners INTO it, DURRHURRHURRHURR! XB) It'll take a little longer than this to make an effective tree-child. If there were pluses to this project's release, I'd say the following: Unique Submission: Aye Bot Support: Aye NPC Support: Aye New Sounds: Aye Team Support: Aye - Averus Retruthan

Content – King to commoner12 Mar
As a copy/content writer I am supposed to be over the moon about how the whole world of marketing communications is screaming, "Content is King!" but in all these kingly celebrations, I wonder if the very king has become a commoner. PRactitioner Swetha P Venkataramani muses over how the very popularity of content could mean the death of quality content.
Content marketing, custom publishing, marketing copy, social media content, brand journalism, marketing content – the different names by which content that is churned out by communication agencies and departments is referred to are many. Most communication and content marketing gurus are proclaiming 2013 to be the year where almost every communication professional would turn into a content – or at least an online – write. While this is good news, it is hard to ignore the fact that content is now being overused and even abused. Every single piece of communication that an organization generates is called content, even if it serves no purpose! The true essence of content lies in its ability to connect with the audience – is the endless stream of mass produced content doing this? Unfortunately, we all know that the answer to this is most probably in the negative. Continue reading

It's a murder that's remained in the minds of Kinston residents for years. And now the story behind the deaths of Billy White and his young son are being told in the new book "Fatal Kiss."
The book written by Suzanne Barr takes a look back at the string of murders committed by Sylvia Ipock White. For the Florida author, it was a story she felt compelled to tell. Barr is currently talking with several film companies about a made for TV version based on the book.

Do Cherubs Pontificate?
I was glad to be able to draw a statue that didn't require me to add a fig leaf. This cherub lives on the Pont Alexandre III , a bridge that's commonly thought of as the fanciest bridge in Paris and that's surely saying something. This exuberant display of opulence includes gilding, winged horses, Art Nouveau lamp posts and sculptures of nymphs and cherubs ... like this little fellow. Balancing precariously all these years has done wonders for his six pack.

I will never forget the first time I saw this bridge! It is absolutely beautiful. Your drawing does justice to the bridge and the cherub's six pack. Now you tell me how to get those abs!ReplyDelete
Thank you, from cali :).ReplyDelete
Dare I say ... pole dancing?
Love the drawing Shell and especially love your humorous description. Hee, hee, hee.ReplyDelete
Thank you, MmeBenaut ~ and I'm sure there are some lovely cherubs down your way, too.ReplyDelete

Speaking Up for Native Languages
In Imagining Multilingual Schools: Languages in Education and Globalization, TC Professor Ofelia Garc-a, TC Associate Professor Maria Torres-Guzman, and Tove Skutnabb-Kangas of University of Roskilde, Denmark, and Abo Akademi University, Finland, assemble a series of articles on multilingual teaching programs and outreach efforts that are successfully counteracting the effects of linguistic hegemony. The articles include a look at Navajo language loss in the U.S. and indigenous efforts to counteract it; a report on chil-dren's feelings about language learning at three different kinds of bilingual schools in Spain's Basque Autonomous Commun- ity; modern marketing methods used in Wales to promote the benefits of bilingualism to parents and prospective parents; and a language awareness project in Alsace, France, in which children ages six through nine are introduced to 18 languages and the cultures associated with them. Some of the articles end with a section written in the language the article is concerned with, including a passage in Navajo and one in Euskara (the Basque language).
The danger of linguistic hegemony is pressing, the editors agree. They quote experts in the field who tie free trade and open capital markets to a "present day imperialism" that is dispossessing people of their native languages worldwide, abetted by majority language schools. The editors say they hope "people become angry at this dispossession that schools are involved with daily and that this anger is then used to start not only demanding but finally implementing the multilingual imaginings that this book also describes." The beneficiaries would be not only those who are aware of what they have lost, but also those "who do not know that monolingualism has dispossessed them."

Neighbors stepped in to help animals in potential peril.
A dog and cat were trapped after a fire started at a home on Daredevil Drive in Security. No one was home at the time, leaving the pets without a way to escape.
But a neighbor spotted the smoke and saved the dog.
"Basically [I] grabbed her and just, like, 'Let's go!' She came straight for me, she was just basically following me and I was like, 'Come on, let's go!'" Patricia Perez said.
A man driving by rescued the cat, even giving it CPR.
"It was unconscious and limp, so we took it out and gave it CPR and it came back. It was meowing and purring...somebody took it to the vet," Andrew Davenport said.
Springs and Security firefighters worked together to knock down the fire, which started Monday around 11 a.m. Though it began in the basement, thick smoke could be seen for miles. Images from the home after the fire was extinguished also show substantial damage to the exterior of the home.
Fire investigators are now working to figure out what caused it.

Records show a multimillion dollar state lottery fund that is supposed to pay for parks and recreation is being used for everything from cell phones to air conditioners and Christmas parades.
Three lottery funds that total $98.9 million are primarily used as approved by voters. But $1.6 million falls into a category defined as questionable by a 1995 audit.
Records show officials in Hartman used lottery proceeds to buy two air conditioners last year for a town building. Aurora defended using lottery money for computer software and cellphone calls because those costs supported park programs. Officials are calling for more state oversights of the spending.

Wholesale Safety Glasses: Shop For The Right Pair
Safety glasses are an essential item in every person's optical wardrobe. With hundreds of thousand eye related injuries every single day in the USA alone, clearly not enough people are wearing protective eye wear. The majority of eye injuries occur at work - mostly in construction jobs. However a large proportion also occur during every day leisurely activities, such as fishing, mowing the lawn, walking and running. Your eyes can be injured from even the smallest piece of dust - and a lot of the time the damage is permanent.
There is a huge market for safety glasses, so purchasing wholesale safety glasses is a great idea for anyone looking at starting up a new business. They are also incredibly cheap, so the initial set up costs are minimal.
For those of you who are unclear as to what exactly wholesale means, it is a way of purchasing items in bulk straight from the manufacturer. They are significantly cheaper than if you were to purchase the same item in a store. The reason they are so cheap is because there is no middle-man. When you purchase an item in a store it goes through several different people before it reaches you, and all of those people need to make a profit. As a result, you end up paying a lot more for the item than it is essentially worth.
Wholesale safety glasses are only sold in bulk to be able to receive the bargain prices. The minimum number of safety glasses you can purchase varies hugely between different manufacturers. However, it is usually the case that the more you purchase the bigger the discount. If you are starting out you may just want to purchase a small amount of safety glasses to test your market out and see if they will sell. You don't want to be stuck with 10,000 safety glasses with no one to buy them!
Safety glasses come in a massive range of styles, sizes, colors and uses. Some people use safety glasses for work purposes, such as when working around dangerous chemicals, soldering irons, or even just to minimize glare from computer screens. Others may use safety glasses whilst playing sports, so they will require different properties from their safety glasses such as extra comfort, and perhaps a restrainer strap to keep them on whilst they are active. Others may use safety glasses for motorcycling. Riding a motorbike can be incredibly hazardous to the eyes, as there is constantly road debris and bugs being thrown towards the face.
You should ensure that you are knowledgeable about the different types of safety glasses and their specific purposes before purchasing wholesale safety glasses. Wholesale safety glasses also come with a range of different lenses, including polarized, anti-fog, anti-scratch and tinted. Clear safety glasses and those with a smoke or grey tinted lens are the most popular, so are a safe bet if you are starting out in the wholesale safety glasses industry.
* AO SUNGLASSES are NOT ANSI Z87.1-2003 safety glasses
Wholesale safety glasses can be purchased from thousands of different manufacturers. However, the cheapest of them originate from countries in south-east Asia such as China and Taiwan. The reason they are so cheap is that manufacturing and labor costs are significantly lower in these countries than in Western countries.
The only issue when purchasing safety glasses from outside of the USA is that they may not adhere to the strict standards as set by the ANSI (American National Safety Institute). The ANSI does rigorous testing on new safety glasses before they can be sold under that label. You would not want to compromise the safety of your customers eyes by selling safety glasses that hadn't been adequately tested. Ensure that whatever wholesale safety glasses you purchase have a Z87 (basic impact safety rating) or a Z87+ (high impact safety rating) marked onto the lenses and/or frame.
Wholesale safety glasses can be purchased from as little as $0.25 for a basic pair, and this price obviously goes up the higher the quality, it will also usually depend on the amount of glasses that you purchase - discounts are usually given to those who purchase larger amounts of wholesale safety glasses.

Data center projects present unique financing challenges. When making these tough decisions, leasing can be one of the most tactical approaches in your arsenal. Leasing helps organizations preserve cash and balance budgets, but also allows companies to stay current with their data center.
Upgrading your mission-critical data center infrastructure involves many moving parts. Rather than paying for your data center with a large initial capital investment and paying maintenance costs each year thereafter, leasing allows you to finance the entire solution by bundling all project costs into one single, fixed monthly payment.
Lock in low fixed payments and spread the payments over time instead of absorbing a spike in your budget. Apply the saved cash towards other revenue-generating initiatives.
Technology is a rapidly changing commodity and thus has a short useful life. Through leasing, you can refresh your data center technology as needed to stay current and competitive.
One point of administrative contact. Clear, unambiguous lease documents. Prompt responses to inquiries. Dedicated professionalism in all aspects of our leasing services. By making customer satisfaction our primary business objective, First American has earned a 96% audited customer satisfaction rating.
