Fort Bragg youth kick off spring sports season
April 23, 2010
FORT BRAGG, N.C. - An audience of more than 300 Family members, friends and fans joined various softball, baseball and soccer teams to kick off the 2010 Spring Youth Sports competitive season in a ceremony at Fort Bragg's NCO Academy Field.
The season-opening event marked the beginning of youth teams with names like the Tarheels, Jumping Unicorns, Tornados, Hot Wheels, Green Beans, Sluggers, Lazers, and D.C. United.
Saturday morning the participating athletes varied in age and size as they represented their team in the Pre-School League (age 4), Instructional League (ages 5 and 6), Mitey Mite League (ages 7 and 8); Junior Co-ed (ages 9 through 11), Intermediate League (ages 12 through 14), Senior Intermediate, which features children ages 15 through 17.
Fort Bragg Garrison Commander Col. Stephen Sicinski opened the ceremony by having every athlete on the field stand up and repeat the Olympic oath as their pledge for good sportsmanship and great competition. Dan Ahern, director of FMWR programs served as emcee for the ceremony, which also included a parade of teams. During the parade of teams, each team marches onto the field and took its place before the podium, after being introduced by Youth Sports director Terri Jo Campbell-Brown.
She said the event marked the beginning of a period of good competition and healthy activities for those who participate.
"It helps them find a healthy lifestyle, with obesity as it is with our youth today, this gives them an outlet. They have fun while they're getting exercise," Campbell-Brown said, following the event.
The youth sports program provides various opportunities for the athletes who participate, but it also gives something to its volunteer coaches.
First year coach Darwin Frett, of the White Sox Junior baseball team, said participating in the Youth Sports program provides an opportunity to spend more time with his son, Darwin, who plays on the team.
"I wanted to participate with my son after a year-long deployment," Frett said. "I said I was going to come back home and spend some quality time with the Family."
In addition to spending time with his son, Frett said he wants to educate his players also.
"I want to give them an opportunity to learn the fundamentals of the game by having experience with the different positions," said Frett, who is a native of St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands. "But most importantly, I want them to have fun."
It's awesome," said the younger Frett, about having his dad as a coach in his first year playing baseball. "I'm looking forward to playing catcher."
Kevin Russell, Jr., 14 of the D.C. United Soccer team said he looks forward to competing against his peers and defending last year's championship title.
"I'm looking forward to this season. We did good, we won the championship last year," Russell said. "I'm looking forward to repeating this year."
He said also looks forward to his role as a team leader who will, hopefully, lead his team to victory.
Kevin serves as an inspiration to his younger brother Cory, who is playing in his third year of youth soccer. Cory said he wants to follow in his brother's footsteps.
"He's kind of like a pro and I want to be a pro some day," he said.
The Russells have made this year's youth sports season a Family affair as their father, Kevin, also coaches the team.
"There are a lot of folks who are deployed right now and we want to help out as many folks as we can because I would want someone to do that for me when I'm deployed," he said. "They're kind of like that father figure when you can't be and that will allow the kids to have fun and learn something about the game."
Third year player Felix Garcia, 14, and his sisters Aizalyn, 12, and Alexzha, 9, all participate in soccer. Felix's team finished second to Russell's in last year's championship. Felix said he and his Hurricanes teammates look forward to more than just returning to competition.
"I look forward to winning the championship this year," he said.
Aizalyn said volleyball is actually her favorite sport, but she remains active in the off-season by playing soccer.
"Last year, I think we won all of our games except for two," Aizalyn explained. "The most fun about this is hanging out with friends."
Alexzha said for her the best part was actually being on the field and playing.
"I like being all around the ball," she said. "That was the most fun."

I've a 24" Lygie circa 60's I rode across US in 1976. It'd been stripped of it's Campy stuff except cranks, headset and seatpost. I'm forever a fan of Bilenky who artfully refurbished it with S&S, budget mandated Shimano and saved my classic but bent fork. Since then I've ridden it in Florida, France, Spain, California and am planning a trip to her homeland.
Maybe a little heavy by today's standards but then so am I....She has Ruebanesque fender clearance, limousine ride (PMC 165 miles over 2 days and was fresh as a daisy compared to my Raleigh Pro, even better than Bicycling's "Plush bike of the year", Serotta Fierte).]

Pinarello banesto. Campagnolo record 9 speed group set including headset and Ti seatpost, 14cm itm eclypse stem, deda shallow bars (might change for deeper bend bars) Ambrosio excellence rims, sapim spokes, campagnolo record hubs and with veloflex pave tyres (latex tubes), flite saddle with pinarello stiched logo with Ti rails.
this is one very very smooth bike to ride. Sadly in the last few years a lot of the paint work is starting to chip off on or around the logos.

Huge ETF trade bets against euro
The euro has staged a massive rally in the last six weeks, and
now traders are getting short using options and an exchange-traded
optionMONSTER's tracking systems detected huge call buying the ProShares UltraShort Euro ( EUO ) exchange-traded fund, which moves about twice as much as the Euro/U.S. dollar exchange rate, but in the opposite direction. The November 19 contract accounted for the bulk of the activity, trading more than 32,000 times against open interest of just 1,971. Most of the volume priced for $0.90 to $1.
The EUO is up 0.47 percent to $19.19 in afternoon trading. The fund has lost 17 percent of its value since the beginning of September while the Currency Shares Euro Trust ( FXE ), which tracks the currency directly, has climbed 9 percent over the same period (purple line on chart).
The euro had been gaining ground as investors resumed a long-term trend of rotating reserves into the common currency and away from the greenback, and as strong overseas growth drew investors back to international stocks and commodities. Emerging-market currencies have done better than the euro, prompting countries such as Brazil and Thailand to restrict capital inflows.
Today's call buying represents a bet that the euro will suffer at least a minor pullback. The trade may represent a hedge on a broad portfolio that is inversely correlated to the dollar. It also comes hours before the Federal Reserve releases minutes from its last meeting, scheduled for 2 p.m. ET today.
Overall options volume in the fund is 29 times greater than average, with calls accounting for 95 percent of the activity.

I started to see some brown spotting around 6 weeks, it was on and off for a few weeks, then I started to see some red spotting, went to the doc. had the ultrasound and saw baby's heart beet, was told it was normal. I was hoping the spotting would stop soon but I am now 9 weeks and still see the spotting. Some days it is more some days it's less... Some days it is brownish and sometimes it is red. It is not going anywhere yet, I see spotting everyday. I was told to abstain from sex and we had for two weeks now and I thought it was getting better but yesterday i saw red agen. Why is this happening? I already read so much scary stuff on the internet. This realy starts to frick me out. Is there any one dealing with something like this?
Light bleeding and spotting for weeks, 9 weeks pregnant.
In love since 5-16-07.
Married since 7-12-13.
Our sweet baby boy arrived on 2-12-15 <3
You sound just like me! Brown spotting and then occasionally seeing red. In fact I saw red last night before my shower and that's what brought me searching these boards. I started spotting at 5 weeks and I'm almost 10 weeks now. Sounds like we're in the same boat. No explanation from my doc and I've had 3 good scans so far.
I'm on progesterone too - injections - because my level had been a little low early on. Am curious, because you say after stopping your spotting seems to have tapered off. Makes me wonder if connected to my shots. I'm supposed to have my last one this coming Tues. Was your progesterone low too or were you given just as precaution?
I'll be 10 weeks Tues. Have another ultrasound Sat. Bed rest hasn't made any difference either. They say the bleeding isn't in my uterus and that my cervix is closed. The morning after I had my bleed scare I had a pelvic exam as well. Dr. saw just old brown blood lining the vagina, she wiped it with gauze (sorry tmi!!) But saw no active bleeding at the cervix....this was about 10 hours after my bleeding scare that filled one small liner. I just wish I knew the cause and how I wish it would stop. This is my second pregnancy. Had a ectopic last year July and lost my right tube. When I got pregnant again I had to cope with the dread and wait to make sure I wasn't having another ectopic....I was hardly able to savor the relief and joy before this spotting started. I am very grateful for hearing from you ladies who are going through this too. I feel less alone.

Strangely enough, I have no preference to any types. My teams usually make up multiple types of pokemon and moves.I can use this to have an advantage over as many pokemon as possible.
My normal teams would have.
1 fire pokemon--will usually have a bite/crunch
1 water pokemon--will usually have a Ice beam/blizzard
1 flying pokemon
1 psychic pokemon--will usually have focus blast
1 electric pokemon--will usually have dig
1 random pokemon--this one can be any type.
Though I don't prefer any type the easiest for me to level up is fire type

Columbus Oktoberfest Hall of Fame
Established September 23, 2011 in honor of George F Schmidt.
Mr. Schmidt established the Columbus Oktoberfest in 1965. Over the years Columbus Oktoberfest has been held in several locations from Schiller Park in the German Village area to The Ohio State Fairgrounds. Oktoberfest has provided German culture, food, music and enjoyment to the residents of Central Ohio. In conjunction with the German Village Society and Mr. Schmidt, The German Village Oktoberfest was operated throughout the community for several years and now has returned to the Schmidt family as The Columbus Oktoberfest. Over the years many members of the community have been influential in the development and promotion of the event. Hence the Hall of Fame committee wish's to elect each year a deserving individual to The Columbus Oktoberfest Hall of Fame.
2011 - Fred Holdrige
Fred Holdridge, born in Lima, Ohio was a shopkeeper, community activist, newspaper columnist, bon vivant, movie critic and world traveler. He and his life and business partner Howard Burns also were ardent advocates of the arts and historic German Village. Fred served for many years as president of the German Village Society and it was his vision and leadership that brought Oktoberfest back to German Village . No one enjoyed a party as much as Fred, and the German Village Oktoberfest was the "Best Party in Town." "The Fun Bunch" It also became the German Village Society's major annual fundraiser. Over several years, the German Village Oktoberfest raised funds for German Village projects, including purchase and renovation of the German Village Meeting Haus. You can be sure Fred is present in spirit each year when the first keg is tapped at Oktoberfest.
2011 - George F. Schmidt
George F. Schmidt was born in Columbus in 1921 and spent most of his life in Upper Arlington. Today he resides in Worthington with his wife Patsy. George attended both John Carroll University and the University of Dayton along with serving as a pilot for the U.S. Navy. Upon returning from his naval duties he joined the family meat packing business and ran it alongside his brother Grover. In the mid-60s the meat packing plant was closed and George renovated the old livery stable into Schmidt's Restaurant und Sausage Haus, at the same time he was growing his family business he was also helping to build the Columbus Oktoberfest through his vision and leadership.
George has been a member of several organizations such as the Northwest Kiwanis, Charity Newsies, Columbus Maennechor and the March of Dimes in addition to being a wonderful self-taught water color artist.
George has turned the day to day operation of the restaurant over to his six children but remains the Chairman of the Board for J. Fred Schmidt Packing House Co. George enjoys watching his 15 grandchildren and 7 great grandchildren grow and delights in seeing them enjoy the Columbus Oktoberfest. George will celebrate his 91st birthday this August and continues to be the guiding light in the production of the Columbus Oktoberfest.
2012 - Aaron Leventhal
When Fred Holdridge decided that Oktoberfest should return to German Village, one of the first people he contacted was Aaron Leventhal. Armed with only $1,000 in seed money and donated office space, in just six months, Leventhal, an accomplished special event fundraiser, pulled together sponsors, entertainers, vendors, and a volunteer force of more than 1,000 to create the German Village Oktoberfest in the Brewery District, Sept. 5-7, 1986. None of this would have been possible without the generous support of the Schmidt family, who had held the Oktoberfest for several years at the Ohio Expo Center. During Leventhal's 15 years of producing the German Village Oktoberfest, it raised more than $2 million for German Village Society historic preservation and community service projects and in 2000 was named by the American Bus Association as one of the Top 100 events in North America.
2013 - Bill Curliss
Bill began volunteering for Oktoberfest the year it came to the Brewery District as the first Fred Holdridge and Aaron Leventhal production. He chaired the communications committee, because he was the only one who knew how to use the radios! He later took over the volunteer coordination from Bob Balthaser (because, apparently he is good at alphabetizing as well as radio operations) and joined the Oktoberfest Steering Committee in 1992. Over a gourmet dinner at White Castle in 1997, Fred revealed his plans to step down as Chairman, and asked Bill to accept the leadership role. Bill served as Chairman of Oktoberfest for 10 years, through the 2008 event. He was recognized by the International Association of Festivals & Events as one of the top 3 volunteers of the year in 2001.
2014 - Roger Dini
Roger Dini was born outside Chicago, Illinois and became interested in playing the accordion at the age of fourteen. By the time he went off to college, he had started a band. The band played at various venues around the Chicago area as well as at weddings, class reunions, VFWs, American Legions and various other events. He would later go on to give accordion lessons.
After moving to Columbus, Roger became aquatinted with George Schmidt and was given the job of hiring and scheduling bands for the Columbus Oktoberfest. This was a task he throughly enjoyed for several years until it was turned over to the German Village Society. His greatest satisfaction during that time was discovering a band near Toledo, Ohio. He immediately booked Tommy Shober and the Sound of Sorgenbrecher thirty years ago and they have become the house band every year since.
Since 1972, Rodger's band, Schnickel Fritz, has had the pleasure of performing at Schmidt's Restaurants – first at the Patio at Morse and Karl Roads since 1979 at the German Village location. The band has also performed at many Ohio festivals over the years to include the Cincinnati Oktoberfest, Bucyrus Bratwurst Festival, Marion Popcorn Festival, and at many private events. One of his greatest thrills happened in 1984 when Schnickel Fritz was honored to be invited to perform for one week at the Epcot-Disney World® German Pavillion. Roger has never lost his thrill for entertaining and still loves playing with his bandmate and friend, Tom Swisher.
Roger has been married to Arlene for 61 years. Together they have four children, eight grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
2015 - Hank Haller
Celebrating 50 years with us at Oktoberfest!
Hank Haller first picked up the accordian as a child an it has taken him around the world. He recalls that the lessons on the "buton box" began to pay off early. "I paid my way through Case with it," he says of the days when the Haller Band played at campus events and parties around Cleveland.
After graduation, Haller worked as mechanical engineer for TRW for NASA as branch chief of quality assurance, and for the Defense Department. However, he always pursued his avocation. Haller, along with five other musicians and his wife Mary Ann as the vocalist, became the Hank Haller Ensemble that performed on weekends at polka festivals, made records, and appeared on the Polka Varieties TV show in Cleveland for 27 years. Haller has gamered many honors including the Lifetime Achievement Award 2000 from the National Cleveland Stylw Polka Hall of Fame. He received a Grammy nomination in 1987 for the album, "Thank You Dear and Give Her Roses".
"There are six different styles of polkas and we've mastered them all," Haller laughs. "There are so many styles of polkas, that it keeps me interested. Diversification keeps me interested in what's being played. Playing gets us on the road and we make a lot of friends." Now retired from engineering, he devotes himself to music. He has entertained on dozens of cruises and trips to Europe, Hawaii and Latin America. He releases five new Polka CDs a year.

The Sidewalk Nursery
The true comforts of a cell phone or Walkman may lie deeper than we think.
(Continued from Page 1)
So, it all fits. The Walkman, the cell phone, the water bottle are efforts to regain the warmth and comfort of infancy and find relief from the loneliness of adulthood. This need is surely not new. I remember the epigraph of James T. Farrell's book Studs Lonigan, which I read more than 60 years ago:
Alone and afraid,
In a world I never made.
Modern technology--the Walkman, the cell phone, and the plastic bottle--has given us new ways to try to deal with this old feeling. There are probably worse ways.

Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Dress for my little sister
Added Aug 6, 2010
by essia28
Paris, France
I love my baby sister. I really do…except when she goes shopping in my wardrobe…. I hate when she does that, and i really don't understand why, as i'm a size 18 and she's an 8! But it doesn't stop her from taking my clothes.
Sooooo, I've decided to make her a summer dress (for starters).
She found the fabric at her Grandma's and i just bought a strapless dress pattern form the early 90's on Ebay (fist time ever, so happy ^^).
The fabric used to be a full flare round skirt, with the same fabric for lining.
I kept the top of the pattern and one of the two skirt and after lots of trouble with the bust, tadaaaam……….
She's pretty happy with it, so i hope she won't go near my wardrobe anymore ^^
Material Notes
-old skirt
-leftovers for trousers (for the bust lining)
-a little sister

Life is funny.
About 36 hours ago, I wrote "Steel on the Inside, Silk on the Outside."
I think most guys are afraid to do this – to wear light colors, to go to a spa, to being silly and lighthearted, these traditionally feminine things. I think most guys go out of their way to appear tough, rugged, macho. And you know why? I think it's because most of 'em are soft on the inside, scared, powerless, aimless.
My philosophy is be as strong as steel on the inside, and light and gentle like silk on the outside.
That's what I aim for. Be strong, don't act strong. Be carved out of steel, stand for something, be something. Then – it's okay to relax to gentle music, to speak softly, to wear silk or light colors, to go to a spa. Be gentle and soft externally, but forge your character out of steel, mold yourself in strife and suffering, become strong. Then – externally, be gentle. Soft. Slightly whimsical. Steel on the inside, silk on the outside.
My hair was getting slightly longer than I like, I figured it was time for a haircut. Here's a recent picture - there's nice silk bathrobes where I was staying, and I snapped this one two days ago to try to use as a photo for yesterday's post. It didn't come out the way I wanted it, so I was just going to scrap it, but it's relevant now -
I keep my hair mid-longish. I figure, if you're carved out of the steel, and then you put on spiked armor - it's too much. Too intimidating. Too overwhelming. If you're carved out of steel, wear silk on the outside. Thus, I aim to be internally strong, but then I keep my hair slightly long and fashionable, I wear light colors, I mostly speak softly and smile.
That said, my hair was getting a little long. So I went to get it cut.
Sebastian's Rules of Getting a Good Haircut While Traveling -
1. Find someone who you like their hair. This can't be stated enough. If the person has pictures on their desk of their kids, make sure you like the kids' hair.
2. When in doubt, go somewhere slightly more expensive. (Especially if you have longer hair you don't cut so often)
3. If you want to chat, pick a female stylist. If you don't, pick a male barber. Men tend to be less talkative while cutting hair.
Today I had quite a bit on my mind - I've got a few projects going, and three of them have deliverables coming up shortly. This is good, it's exciting, but I'm trying to mentally work out which order to go in through things and prioritize. I also had a couple really good ideas this morning that I wrote down that could be pretty cool, and I'm trying to mentally sort out what order to do things in. I figured I needed a haircut anyways and it would give me time to think.
Sometimes I like chatting and getting along with whoever's cutting my hair, but today I didn't want that. I wanted to just zone out and think. So I walked around and looked at three different places, asked prices, and found a place slightly more expensive than normal with a guy with a cool haircut. Perfect.
I come in, and an older woman who owns the place asks me to sit down. I do, and she starts asking me what I want. She's not dressed like a stylist, so I figure she's just translating. Her English is perfect.
I say, "Like this, exactly like this, but shorter." She asks, "How long?" I hold my finger and thumb up to show length. She grabs some of my hair and holds it a distance slightly shorter than that. I say, "No, longer than that." She remeasures, holding that much hair up. I say, "Yes, like that. Exactly."
She picks up scissors and starts cutting. Now, I'd wanted the guy for the barber and that's why I came in, but I wasn't really overthinking this. I'm in the chair, I gave instructions, she picks up scissors and starts cutting, and I don't think about it or evaluate her. If I had, I wouldn't have gone there - her hair was kind of messy and unkept, pulled back in a ponytail, and didn't look so good.
And, unsurprisingly, she's chatty so I can't think. Where am I from, what am I doing in Vietnam, how long have I been here. I'm polite, I speak a little Vietnamese to her, but I try not to keep the conversation going. I want to think while getting my haircut. She's snip-snipping, and keeps chatting about Los Angeles, and Vietnam, and... and it's really just smalltalk that I'm not up for, I want the thinking time. I close my eyes so hopefully she gets the message. (You might now see where this is going...)
I open my eyes after a few minutes and - what the hell????
"Hey, hey, hey! Wait! Wh-why, why are you cutting so short?" Along the right side of my hair she cut almost razor short. She says, "I do bangs short, on the top this long" she says, holding up a length of hair on top of my head.
"No, no... no, I said... no. No. Not like that, no." I look at it. There's no fixing this. I wanted a mid-length, fashionable, semi-conservative haircut. She's giving me a short, unfashionable, unconservative haircut. I think I know what she's doing now - in Vietnam, the hairstyle from the early 1990's where the top is longer and it's unblended is sort of fashionable, but that's not very good for the rest of the world. I wanted my hair cut evenly - I'd said, "Like this, exactly like this, but shorter."
She butchered my hair. Damn. She goes tentatively to bring the scissors back down. I say, "STOP." I start to take off the covering. "This... this is wrong." I think for a second - what's my best outcome here? What do I want...? I don't want anything. There's nothing they can do for me. This isn't fixable.
I get up and leave, I walk a few blocks in a ticked off mood, and then I sit down. Damn it. I have enough on my mind, I don't need my hair getting screwed up now. I wanted the normal mid-length, fashionable, semi-conservative haircut I get.
Now, in the grand scheme of things this is pretty trivial, but at the time I'm sitting there kind of ticked off. I sit and steam for about five minutes, and then I remember that one of my general life goals is to be decisive - make a decision once, move quickly, done. Well, okay, I'd wondered for a while what I'd look like without hair at all. I generally like the way I keep my hair, so I hadn't cut it very short in a long time. Time to see.
I walk in a different hair salon, and evaluate myself in the mirror.
Unfixable. Ah well, now it's time to make the best of it.
"Take it all off."
The guy asks, "What setting? 1, 2, 3?" I say, "Zero. Take it all off. Nothing left."
We're having a fun time and joking around now. Halfway through, I say, hey, we should be documenting this. Note the girl laughing in the background -
As you can see, I'm still not thrilled with this development here. I think this is a very honest facial expression -
I ask them to give me a shave with a straight razor, which was a nice experience. I get all cleaned up, and I look around for my barber who was really cool to take a picture with him. He's across the street having a tea, so I wave to ask if he'll come back for a picture. Here's him coming back -
I'm starting to laugh. This whole episode is absurd. And, once done, things are done. No use regretting it or feeling bad, it's done. Adjust, learn what can be learned, observe how the new way works, and wait a few months if I decide I want long hair again.
The nice thing about having a strong, internal identity is you get less phased about nonsense like this. I don't define myself by a job title, by any organization I belong to, by my dress, by my hair, by possessions, nothing like that, nothing external. I define myself by what I see as meaningful.
I still get mildly aggravated at stuff like this - presentation affects everything, and I had a presentation style I liked that worked for me. Now I've got a new style, and it looks a bit too strong for where I'm at. Steel on the inside, steel on the outside? Well, we'll see how it goes. And the nice thing about hair is that it grows back. But I think a lot of people would flip out over something like. I was aggravated for about 10 minutes after it happened, then I evaluated my options, and made a decision. I was still feeling a little bad for another 20 to 30 minutes. And then I was laughing.
Ah well, life's a circus, and this doesn't particularly matter all that much. It's nice to define oneself internally and be focused on big things - thus, little things fade in importance quickly. Thirty minutes of annoyance, it'll probably be strange to look in the mirror for the next couple weeks or so, then I'll have mid-length hair again if that's what I want, or maybe the new style will suit me. Steel on the inside... and also steel on the outside for the forseeable future.
There I was looking for "Cotton Fist" information as relating to the martial arts ("Cotton outside, Steel inside") when I ran across your blog. Not only do you have a great sense of humor, you have a great attitude. That steel on the inside, silk on the outside seems to be really working for you. Kudos!
Yes that happened to me too, but here in the states with a local barber shop. It took more then 30 min to get over it. :) - I did the shaved head think but on a white guy it's very skinhead like!
Thumbs for dealing with it in such a cool way.
Interesting post on haircuts and traveling - http://www.flightster.com/2010/09/20/unbearable-travel-haircuts/
I was wondering why the picture you have of yourself has long hair and yet your video and newer pictures have you with such short hair. Ah - such is life.
There was a pretty ferocious storm a couple days ago in Hong Kong that damaged some of the infrastructure up on Mount Davis. The internet was down due to a lightning strike and water went off for a while. That's fine, yesterday I went to down to HK Island and worked from Pacific Coffee. I had to hurry to grab the shuttle down the mountain and didn't get my morning walk/run in, so I went around 11PM when I came back until I found a well lit place to jog back and forth on the mountain, and I came back at midnight.
I'm sweaty, exhausted, and I think - oh, I hope the water's back on... I should've checked...
I went to the shower, turned the nob, and... the water started. Good.
But no hot water for some reason. And it was quite cold.
At first I flinch and tense up a little bit as I step into the water, and then I think - why should I flinch? Mind over matter. This will be cold,. and I'll enjoy it anyways.
So, I'm working on a little project revolving around Applause by Lady Gaga. Gaga has always fascinated me, I think it's purely for the fact that she's different, she stands up for the unordinary and encourages people to be and pursue whatever they want, to follow their dreams.
This first time I heard Applause I was immediately hooked and if I'm totally honest, I've played it everyday since..
A majority of people watch and listen to music videos without even clueing on to what the artist wants to portray. With Applause, it's kind of obvious what the song's about. However, rather than being just about a round of applause, I think that Lady Gaga is showing her desperation and dependance on our applause, she's showing the world that she has still got it and is not afraid to go and get it. This idea was backed by her choreographer and artistic director in an interview I've seen.
For my project, I want to take this particular part of the message and adapt her idea slightly, adding my own twist. Much of the choreography is the same, some will be adapted and some brand new material I have created. I'm currently in the process of putting together a group of dancers; hopefully there will be some updates to follow in the near future!

text: There were crimes that were also over reported too. Where's the story on that? Where's the story that crime actually went down more than reported? Was the timing of the release of this story a little more than a week before the recall election timed to slam Barrett? Who knows, but its worth reading the story to get another view, instead of the lone slant we get from the MJS.

Domino Review
"It All Depends On Whether Or Not You Like Flashy Editing Don't Like MTV Or Michael Bay? You Won't Like Domino"
February 19th, 2008
Domino has a lot of things going for it a good cast, well crafted plot, witty dialogue but in the end only one question will affect your decision on whether or not you like Domino and that question is "Do you love or hate overstylized editing?". Luckily for Tony Scott i happen to love that MTV style flashing, speed up/slow down camera angles, and green tinted visual effects i think it gives an already cool film a unique and cool atmosphere however i know many who believe this kind of "style over substance" is what is wrong with modern filmmaking. Domino does have substance you instantaniously fall in love with Keira Knightly's portrayl of Domino Harvey however the Tony Scott lays on heavy stylization to the point that it becomes in your face and overbearing and that my friends is where you will amke up your mind. I personally loved every rewind technique, narrative repitition, random coin flip sequences, and crazy flashback scenes that Tony Scott threw into to what to me is an entertaining multi character thriller.
The acting in this film is very good, the film has a ton of talent to work with. Keira Knightly portrays a true badass, and not the borderline lesbian tough girl act made famous by Michelle Rodriguez Domino Harvey is someone who you don't want to mess with. In a way the character of Domino reminds me of the lead in Showtimes Dexter, she constantly conflicts decisions with her subconcious, is witty, and has no fear of authority figures despite the possibly illegal things she's done. Mickey Rourke is a tough guy no doubt about it and his Ed Moseby character here is a more light hearted and realistic Marv from Sin City, still crazy, still darkly humoured, but less of a cartoon feeling this time around. Edgar Remirez plays a good psycho but gets barely any character development or dialogue which sucks because he is one of the most interesting characters in the whole film. The supporting cast all give good performances Mo'Nique, Christopher Walken, Mena Suvari, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Greene all bring a certain charm or likability to their characters.
The biggest concern is obviously overstylization it gets distracting and for those who hate that crazy Michael Bay style then you will i guarentee hate Domino. If you enjoy that flashy editing and crazy means of visual expression then you will like me enjoy Domino and it's fun way of telling an interesting story that is to some degree based on truth. The movie really comes down to your love or hate for stylization we all know how fan sites like IMDb work a weighted average for votes based on a scale of 1-10 the total average of a 5.9/10 further proves that this film is love or hate make up your own mind.

In this paper, we present a hierarchical framework that enables motion planning for asymptotically stable 3-D bipedal walking in the same way that planning is already possible for zero moment point walking. This framework is based on the construction of asymptotically stable gait primitives for a class of hybrid dynamical systems with impacts. Each primitive corresponds to an asymptotically stable hybrid limit cycle that admits rules a priori for sequential composition with other primitives, reducing a high-dimensional feedback motion planning problem into a low-dimensional discrete tree search. As a constructive example, we develop this planning framework for the 3-D compass-gait biped, where each primitive corresponds to walking along an arc of constant curvature for a fixed number of steps. We apply a discrete search algorithm to plan a sequence of these primitives, taking the 3-D biped stably from start to goal in workspaces with obstacles. We finally show how this framework generalizes to more complex models by planning walking paths for an underactuated five-link biped.
