Eagle Scout candidate leads by example with pond cleanup effort

Storm McKinley involved family member and fellow Boy Scouts in his Eagle Scout community service project and raised their awareness of the environment along the way.
Storm knew hard work would be required to clear a large demonstration pond at Lake Carney Island Conservation and Recreation Area of undesirable vegetation and restore balance to the ecosystem.
"It's not always easy," he said of the lessons he learned in organizing and overseeing the project, which took 177 hours to complete.
"Storm is enthusiastic about protecting our natural environment," said Marion County Parks and Recreation manager George Wiley in an email. "Through this hands-on project, everyone had an exciting experience while learning about our local ecology."
Wiley said the demonstration pond provides habitat for native fish and wildlife, and it has an over-look deck for viewing and educational demonstrations.
"The pond had become overtaken with algae and exotic invasive plants, which crowded out native plants and depleted the dissolved oxygen that fish and other aquatic animals need to survive," Wiley said.
"When we arrived, the pond was a mess (with weeds), and when we left it was perfect," said Storm's aunt, Angie Mumau, who added that her son, Brandon Neal, 8, "idolizes Storm."
"The volunteers played an important role in assisting Marion County with management of the natural resources at Carney Island," Wiley said. "They worked hard over several weekends in the mucky pond, pulling and removing algae and unwanted vegetation."
Fellow scout Donavon Baker, 14, said Storm "did a good job."
Storm, 16, a junior at Marion Technical Institute studying production and design technology, has been involved in scouting for about four years. He is in Troop 440, sponsored by First Baptist Church of Ocala, with Chap Dinkins as scoutmaster.
Storm has attended the Brownsea leadership class at Camp Shands near Starke, which is part of scouting's National Youth Leadership Training.
"We learned to teach lessons using the EDGE method, or explain, demonstrate, guide and enable," Storm said.
His parents, Richard and Jessica McKinley, and older sister, Treasure Bridgman, have found scouting to be a family affair and voiced their pride in Storm's accomplishments.
"I saw a lot of maturity along with the leadership training," Richard said.
Storm has earned 42 merit badges.
"I enjoyed earning the fire safety merit badge, and I had a demonstration for the troop from Marion County Fire Rescue," he said.
After attaining the fingerprinting merit badge, he held a session about the subject for the troop.
Troop 440 members Hunter Althiser, 13, and Maarten de Haan, 13, both said they intend to follow Storm's example of striving for the rank of Eagle Scout.
Storm said he expects to receive his Eagle rank confirmation in about three months.

Brussels is not only the capital of the Kingdom of Belgium, but is also the co-capital of the European Union (EU) and is home to the King of Belgium.

The symbol of the city and most visited sight in the whole country is the Mannekin Pis, a small statue off the edge of the old town square. The historic center of the city is simply stunning with it's mix of Baroque and art neavou architecture, food, shopping…and of course – Chocolate!

Sights and Activities

Just wandering around Brussels is a great way to get a feel of this beautiful European capital. There are however a few 'must sees'.

Mannekin Pis

The statue of the little boy urinating is so popular he even has his own official site. The Belgians love to dress him up in costumes on special occasions and for visiting dignitaries. There are a myriad of different stories and legends that surround the statue and why he is so important, either way, no trip to Brussels is complete with sneaking a peak.

Old Town Square

This is easily one of the finest and most beautiful town squares anywhere in the world. Surrounded by the colourful baroque style buildings of what were once the guild houses of the city's tradesmen, the square is filled with cafes, people and performers that combine with the buildings to create an almost fairly tale atmosphere.

Chocolate Museum

On the edge of the Old Town Square is an interactive museum dedicated to one of Belgium's finest exports – Chocolate!

Beer Museum

Another great interactive museum is right next door to the Chocolate Museum – dedicated to Belgium's other famous culinary export – their beer.

Nishimura takes command of 30th MEDCOM
April 19, 2012
By Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Fincham
HEIDELBERG, Germany -- Soldiers of U.S. Army Europe's theater enabling medical asset gathered with friends, Family Members, and area leaders here April 19, to say farewell to one commander and welcome another to the team.
Col. Koji D. Nishimura took command of the 30th Medical Command from Col. John M. Cho, during the unit's Change of Command Ceremony on the Nachrichten Kaserne Parade Field.
During the ceremony Brig. Gen. Nadja Y. West, the U.S. Army Europe command surgeon and commander of the Europe Regional Medical Command, commended Cho for his leadership and welcomed Nishimura and his wife to the 30th MEDCOM.
"Under his inspiring leadership, the 30th MEDCOM was taken to new heights of excellence and has a string of accomplishments that will have a lasting impact, not only on the unit, but to those that they support," said West. "Clearly our Army agrees that John and Kathy are a team that we need to keep in our Army and have serve at the next level of leadership. They have demonstrated this by selecting him for promotion to brigadier general and assigning him to a vital position in our medical command to take our Army Medical Department to the next level."
Cho expressed his thanks to his Family, colleagues, and friends, and recognized the unwavering dedication of the Soldiers of the "Best and Most Powerful MEDCOM in the World."
"Soldiers of the 30th Medical Command are the reason why this organization is successful," Cho said. "Kathy and I will truly miss all of you -- thank you for all of your support and may God bless all of you and your Families."
As one great leader departs, another takes the helm.
"As John and Kathy depart from 30th MEDCOM, it's being left in the extremely capable hands of another great Army Family. Koji brings a wealth of experience and a phenomenal leadership style and I know he will leverage them to add to the outstanding legacy that the 30th already has," West said.
Nishimura comes to the 30th MEDCOM after serving as the Chief of the Medical Corps Branch, U.S. Army Human Resources Command at Fort Knox, KY. He conveyed his happiness and excitement for the opportunity to lead the Soldiers of the 30th MEDCOM, and acknowledged the impact of Colonel and Mrs. Cho.
"Colonel-promotable and Mrs. Cho, today is your day. The Soldiers are standing out here to honor you for your service and for your commitment to the units. Thank you for what you've done," Nashimura said. "I feel truly blessed to be here today and have the opportunity to serve."
The 30th MEDCOM, headquartered in Heidelberg, Germany, is the theater-enabling medical command asset for the European Command theater of operations. Its Soldiers provide medical support for combat, humanitarian assistance and training missions for U.S. European Command, U.S. Army Europe, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Central Command, and Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and Kosovo Force.
For more information on Nishimura and the 30th Medical Command, visit the 30th MEDCOM homepage at www.30thmed.army.mil.

CFP MSA Releases Updated Hardware And Firmware Documents Defining 40Gbps And 100Gbps Optical Transceivers
www.cfp-msa.org. In addition, the three companies, which founded the CFP MSA and first announced it in March 2009, welcome Avago Technologies as a new member. Other manufacturer companies interested in joining the CFP MSA are encouraged to contact an existing MSA representative.The purpose of the CFP MSA is to define a hot-pluggable optical transceiver form factor to enable 40Gbps and 100Gbps applications, including next-generation High Speed Ethernet (40GbE and 100GbE). Pluggable CFP transceivers will support the ultra-high bandwidth requirements of data communications and telecommunications networks that form the backbone of the internet. According to industry analysts, IP traffic is expected to nearly double every two years through 2013, potentially resulting in core network bandwidth shortages. The IP traffic volume will be driven by high-quality video services like VOD and IPTV as well as the availability of high-speed and high-capacity access networks such as FTTx and WiFi. To prevent these shortages, carriers and service providers are already planning the deployment of next-generation high-speed network protocols. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has recently standardized 40Gigabit and 100Gigabit Ethernet under the P802.3ba Task Force and is currently working to add new features to 40Gigabit Ethernet in the P802.3bg Task Force. In addition to the existing 40Gbps telecom standards, both the OIF and the ITU-T are working on standardizing SDH/OTN telecom interfaces for long-haul transmission of 100Gigabit Ethernet. Pluggable transceiver modules compliant to the CFP MSA will be used on these 40Gbps and 100Gbps interfaces. The CFP MSA is defining the specifications required to support multiple applications using the same form factor. These applications include various protocols (such as 40GbE, 100GbE, OC-768/STM-256, OTU3), media types (multimode and single mode fiber optics) and link distances. The CFP MSA utilizes numerous innovative features like advanced thermal management, EMI management and enhanced electrical signal integrity design to define the transceiver mechanical form factor, the optical connector, the 10x10Gbps electrical connector with its pin assignments, the MDIO-based transceiver management interface and the hardware required on the system host board.

On November 25 the wonderful Friar Alessandro hosted Decca's first Christmas Concert in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital. On the night over four thousand pounds was raised to provide accommodation for patients and their families at Christmas, so that Mum or Dad can stay close by while their child is being treated.
If you would like to donate to this wonderful cause, please follow the link. It was a truly magical evening with readings from former patients, Kathryn Jenkins and Catherine Tate, plus special performances from Pumeza, Jack Topping and of course Friar Alessandro.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Photo from previous loan
Kiva allows our Field Partners to re-use the same photo for individual borrowers that have been posted on Kiva's website once before in a 24 month period, and we allow them to re-use group photos for up to 24 months, provided that 80% of the current group's membership is represented.
Taking, collecting, and uploading photos of borrowers is one of the most challenging elements of using Kiva for our Field Partners. In order to make Kiva easier for Field Partners to use, we have allowed them to post successive and concurrent loans without taking a new photo of the borrower if the criteria above are met.

FOX (ended 2013)
^This.Just found it odd that out of the blue they were airing a new episode. was this show pushed here now? is everything ok with this show?
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it was cancelled sometime in November. Right now, they're trying to air the remaining four episodes as quickly as possible so that they can start airing the new mid-season replacements. Look out for another episode on Monday and then I'm pretty sure the same thing next weekend.

The Student Aid Conundrum: Right Now, It May Feel like Damned If You Do, Damned If You Don't. but Clear Analysis of Your Financial Aid Mission and Adoption of an Action Plan Can Deliver Solid Benefit to Students and School. (Strategy)
Clinton, Patrick, University Business
A dip in the economy is hard on everyone, but for higher education, hard times are aggravated by a kind of triple whammy of financial need: When the economy dips, more parents and students are out of work, and more investments shrivel. The result: Colleges and universities are asked to meet more financial need. State legislatures, faced with eroding tax revenues and increased demands on the state coffers, cut funding to education. The result: less money to meet the increased student need. Colleges and universities, for their part, tend to respond to decreased resources by raising tuition, sometimes sharply, increasing the gap between the price of education and what families can afford to pay.
The whammy doesn't necessarily stop at triple. For schools that have endowments, asset value drops, and with it, the amount available for payout. Worse, trustees often ratchet back endowment spending even tighter than spending formulas would dictate, figuring that no matter what you originally intended, a rainy day is no time to use the money you've saved. And a weak job market can push many would-be workers back to school; for some schools, especially community colleges, rising enrollments can eat up even more scarce financial resources.
More need and less money to fill it. Whenever the economy dips, that's the prospect faced by most colleges and universities. And as students and families feel the pain, they turn unfailingly to the one spot in the institution that ought to be able to help them: the Financial Aid office. What's the best way for the Financial Aid office to respond? University Business spoke to some top experts in financial aid, enrollment management, and the economics of higher education. Here's what they had to say.
Challenges Across the Board
The crucial point to remember, says Williams College economist Gordon Winston, a noted scholar of the economics of higher education, is that different sorts of institutions face vastly different challenges. "The publics, the wealthy privates, and the not-so-wealthy privates are three totally different worlds," Winston says. "One of the troubles, of course, is that we use the term `financial aid' to mean radically different things. It can mean price discounts to get customers or improve student quality on the one hand, or it can mean income redistribution policies on the other hand, and they're very different things. Those three different populations are in very different circumstances, and the toughest are the circumstances faced by private, not-awfully-wealthy private institutions that have been shading price to improve quality or to maintain quality in the face of others shading price through merit aid. Schools like this are increasingly running up against declining endowment returns and are really getting a squeeze. If the question is what are they supposed to do, I'm damned if I know."
What makes it even harder for schools to cope with economic hard times, Winston says, is that so many institutions refuse to acknowledge what kind of financial aid they actually engage in. "There's an awful lot of unclarity," he says. "A lot of social respectability and panache goes with having only need-based financial aid. That's what the good guys do. So everybody has a strong desire to treat their own financial aid as if that's what they are doing. But, in fact, they're doing student enrollment management. They're cutting prices and modulating deals for superior students, and trying to steal good students from other schools. That makes it very hard to talk about a financial aid policy. You refuse to admit how much your old policy has been abandoned, because it's embarrassing. You don't really want to be one of those tacky people who cuts price to lure students. But, on the other hand, when someone else is cutting their price and luring your students, you don't want to let them get by with it. …

Hardcore Shenmue fans are a dedicated lot. Would Yu Suzuki really be able to realize his dream of making Shenmue III without years and years of outspoken fans crying for more? This dedication shines through in A Gamer's Journey: The Definitive History of Shenmue, an upcoming documentary from cinematographer/filmmaker Adam Sipione. Hit the jump for a trailer.
Classic '90s space flight simulator/space combat computer gaming meets classic '80s sci-fi anime as the OtaKing (Paul Johnson, not to be confused with Gainax co-founder and fellow YouTuber Toshio Okada) has presented the final, finished results of four years of work with a Star Wars: TIE Fighter tribute. Check it out after the jump.
Animator and comedian Johnny McHone recently put his iPhone to fantastic use, combining it with the six-second-video-making Vine app to post a stop-motion tribute to The Legend of Zelda. The impressive mix of figure and clay animation has since been compiled in a YouTube video, which you can watch after the jump.
It's been a pretty good week for fan films. In addition to Joseph Kahn's POWER/RANGERS bootleg—which has since been removed from Vimeo thanks to Saban—there's also the pilot episode of Dragon Ball Z: Light of Hope. Hit the jump for more.
I don't know that I love this dark and violent Power Rangers short film by Joseph Kahn (Torque, a bunch of commercials), but I'm glad it exists. It's a really well-made short produced by Adi Shankar (Dredd, The Punisher: Dirty Laundry), starring Dawson's Creek's James Van Der Beek and Battlestar Galactica's Katie Sackhoff, and you can watch it after the jump.
Last month we posted a preview for a live-action Naruto short film by independent filmmakers Epic Rival. The full tribute is now online, clocking in at nearly 8 minutes, and you can see the impressive and (literally) explosive fight between Tenten and Neji go down after the jump.
Independent filmmakers Epic Rival hopped on Facebook to show off some footage from a live-action Naruto project that's been in the works for a while. Dig the opening scene of Naruto Shippuden: Dance of War, which features a showdown between Tenten and Neji, after the jump.
Remember back in May when Canada-based CineGround Media unleashed its impressive live-action Akira trailer? The crowd-sourced Akira Project stayed very faithful to the style of Katsuhiro Otomo's original theatrical anime adaptation of his own manga, and you can see how they did some of it thanks to a behind-the-scenes video.
If the folks at the Gritty Reboots YouTube channel were trying to bum us all out with their live-action Adventure Time movie trailer, they succeeded. Watch as a more depressing vision of the Land of Ooo unfolds after the jump.
Nintendo's original Game Boy has been in existence for 25 years, so there's a lot of nostalgia floating around for it and its washed out greenish color palette. Thus, Game Boy Movie and its Mario vs. Pokémon Trainer battle wouldn't normally be that special… if it didn't introduce an extremely unsettling claymation Pikachu after the jump.
While Hollywood struggles to realize a live-action take on Katsuhiro Otomo's classic Akira, Canada-based CineGround Media has a new preview of director/producer Nguyen-Anh Nguyen's vision for The Akira Project. It aims to be as faithful as possible to the source material, and you can see if you think they're on the right track in the trailer after the jump.
While we wait for both the next Super Smash Bros. game and Star Wars Episode VII, animator James Farr is back to mashing up both with Super Smash Wars 2: The Empire Smashes Back. Peep the two-parter sequel after the jump.
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! Get ready for some live-action fan film fun as Link takes on the evil wizard Agahnim! And there's a dark mask! It's not really worthy of all these exclamations but I can't stop! Hit the jump!
If you ever thought one of the Servbots deserved some time in the Blue Bomber's armor, artist and animator ultimatemaverickx has you covered. See the transformation in his latest piece of animation after the jump.
Animator Brian Anderson has to remind us that he doesn't work for Naughty Dog or Traveller's Tales, because his mock LEGO game videos are just that convincing. The latest imagines a world in which the bleak world of The Last of Us is given the LEGO treatment after the jump.

Director of Operations
|Julie St. Amour-Glass - I began working in this office as a student and my experiences as a student and a student employee convinced me that this was the place for me to call home. As the Director of Operations at Student Association I am one of a handful of non-student staff. Part of my job is to provide support and continuity through the years to the elected student leaders.
Among other things, my office processes disbursements, payroll, helps to oversee the Administrative Assistants and the Ticket Window, and the dissemination of massive amounts of information, provides assistance in conjunction with the Comptroller to group Presidents and Treasurers managing their SA-funded budgets, and prepares material for auditor review. I also serve on the Dippikill Board and oversee reservations made. Please stop by any time with any questions you may have about SA.
Julie St. Amour Glass
Director of Operations
Student Association, University at Albany
Assistant Director of Operations
|Christine Lewandowski - I started working at the Student Association in the fall of 2010 as an undergrad. My experience at SA began as an administrative assistant and ticket window associate. I graduated in 2012 with a bachelor's in fine arts and a duel minor in psychology and theatre. I also was very active in UAlbany's premier all female a capella group, Serendipity. After graduation I was absolutely ecstatic to be given the opportunity to move up to the Assistant Director of Operations position. I currently oversee our front desk and administrative assistants as well as our ticket window and TW associates. My day to day tasks range from auditing our ticket window spreadsheets, handling daily income and working very closely with our staff up at Dippikill. I enjoy every minute of working here and my door is always open. Go Danes!
Administrative Assistants
|Emma Suarez - Hi! My name is Emma. I've been a part of Student Association for four years. I'm a sociology major and music minor. I'm also a selfie-stick and bike safety enthusiast and probably love Chipotle more than you.

She just finished studying abroad at the American University in Dubai, is involved with the College Democrats, and plays intramural dodgeball and volleyball. Charlotte has interned with the YWCA and Running Start, two organizations focused on women's issues.

You've been saying I couldn't understand, not giving me a reason
Like you're operating some master plan, trying to go on pleasing
You've taken on more then you can possibly ever squeeze in
And for reasons that seemed damned, you're doing it in my season
Is this thing on? Can you hear me?
I'm reaching out for someone to set us free
Cause one things for sure, happy not are we
Fighting and Fussing all of the time,
It ain't no way to be.
You're hedging your bets today, trying to see if he's in
It's a busted game you play, we're both on our knees then
By standards of another day, this kind of love would be treason
You lucked out your getting away, doing it in my season.
Is this thing on? Does it cut through?
Someone needs to split this up, someone who's not you or me
Cause one things for sure, happy not are we
Fighting and Fussing all of the time,
it ain't no way to be, in my season

Thanks for such a wonderful page. I enjoyed reading your adventure on the Silk Road and hope that one day I can do the same. In the meantime, I guess I can only do it on Google Earth. Korla must have been an interesting place to visit.
A fascinating page on a city I had never heard of ! I would never have expected such a large and modern city. I am surprised by the nude kids. I thought that going nude was not in the Chinese tradition.
Great Korla Travel Page. I really enjoyed your comments and pictures. Mike

Updated: February 12, 2013, 4:22 PM ETAssociated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- North Carolina coach Roy Williams says freshman Joel James won't play at second-ranked Duke on Wednesday night due to a concussion.
Williams said Tuesday that the 6-foot-10, 260-pound center took a blow to the head at some point during last week's home win against Wake Forest, though it's unclear when he was hurt. James played 9 minutes and went scoreless in the weekend loss at Miami, but team spokesman Matt Bowers said James didn't notify team medical staff that he ...

JUNE had waited for her chance, scanning the duller columns of the Journals, morning and evening with an assiduity which at first puzzled old Jolyon; and when her chance came, she took it with all the promptitude and resolute tenacity of her character.
She will always remember best in her life that morning when at last she saw amongst the reliable Cause List of The Times newspaper, under the heading of Court XIII., Mr Justice Bentham, the case of Forsyte v. Bosinney.
Like a gambler who stakes his last piece of money, she had prepared to hazard her all upon this throw; it was not her nature to contemplate defeat. How, unless with the instinct of a woman in love, she knew that Bosinney's discomfiture in this action was assured, cannot be told--on this assumption, however, she laid her plans, as upon a certainty.
Half past eleven found her at watch in the gallery of Court XIII., and there she remained till the case of Forsyte v. Bosinney was over. Bosinney's absence did not disquiet her; she had felt instinctively that he would not defend himself. At the end of the judgment she hastened down, and took a cab to his rooms.
She passed the open street-door and the offices on the three lower floors without attracting notice; not till she reached the top did her difficulties begin.
Her ring was not answered; she had now to make up her mind whether she would go down and ask the caretaker in the basement to let her in to await Mr Bosinney's return, or remain patiently outside the door, trusting that no one would come up. She decided on the latter course.
A quarter of an hour had passed in freezing vigil on the landing, before it occurred to her that Bosinney had been used to leave the key of his rooms under the door-mat. She looked and found it there. For some minutes she could not decide to make use of it; at last she let herself in and left the door open that anyone who came might see she was there on business.
This was not the same June who had paid the trembling visit

I have two
USB Serial adapters hooked up to an
ARM based
Linux box running
Debian. One adapter is a
PL2303HX showing up as
/dev/ttyUSB0. The second is a
CP210X showing up as
/dev/ttyUSB1. For testing purposes, they are hooked up to each other (
RX -> TX, TX -> RX, GND -> GND). Both are set to
8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (
9600 N81), no hardware flow control, no software flow control. An '
stty -aF /dev/ttyUSBx', shows the exact same flags for both serial ports.
I send data from one side to the other, but I do not receive the same data that I'm sending. The behavior is the same regardless of data flow direction. I wrote a quick program that sends bits, shifting them from right to left, just to understand what's happening to the data.
Here's the data I send, and what is received on the other side:
-> Send 01 <- Receive 7F
-> Send 02 <- Receive 3F
-> Send 04 <- Receive 1F
-> Send 08 <- Receive 0F
-> Send 10 <- Receive 07
-> Send 20 <- Receive 03
-> Send 40 <- Receive 01
-> Send 80 <- Receive 00
Here it is in Binary. Left side, what I send. Right side, what is received:
00000001 = 01111111
00000010 = 00111111
00000100 = 00011111
00001000 = 00001111
00010000 = 00000111
00100000 = 00000011
01000000 = 00000001
10000000 = 00000000
This is my very simple code (written in PHP to keep things simple) that I wrote to test this:
It looks like some kind of translation is happening on the chip, but I don't know why or how to modify it.
A few points to clarify:
- When I connect two PL2303 adapters to each other, they talk to each other just fine (on the same machine)
- Both adapters work perfectly fine in Windows, and successfully talk to an external RS-232 based device
- Both adapters pass an echo test, on both Windows and Linux
- This rules out the possibility that the PL2303 chip is misbehaving / flaky
- The problem only happens under Linux (Tried both Debian 6, Ubuntu 12.04 and 13.04)
- I suspect the problem is a newer PL2303 chip generation (and Linux PL2303 driver source code is kinda old)
Anyone has an idea what's going on here? How do I fix this?

Selected mini-reviews of films in theaters, listed alphabetically:
"A Million Ways to Die in the West" Western comedy. R. Seth MacFarlane has delivered a flaccid all-star farce. (Scott Foundas, Variety) 115 minutes
"Chef" Comedy. * * * R. It's the story of a Los Angeles chef who opens a food truck after he loses his job in a high-end restaurant. (Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post) 115 minutes
"Edge of Tomorrow" Sci-fi action. * * * PG-13. The time-loop set-up of this frenetic sci-fi flick, starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt as allies in humankind's battle against seemingly invincible aliens known as Mimics, recalls "Groundhog Day." At area theaters in 2-D, 3-D. IMAX 3-D. (Lisa Kennedy, The Denver Post) 113 minutes
"The Fault in Our Stars" Drama. * * * ½ PG-13. John Green's best-selling young adult novel about cancer survivors, Hazel Lancaster and Gus Waters, makes the move to the big screen with grace and wit. (Kennedy) 126 minutes
"Fed Up" Documentary. * * * PG. The latest in a line of documentaries critiquing the American diet, "Fed Up" quickly zeroes in on what would appear to be its villain: sugar. At the Mayan. (Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post) 93 minutes
"The Grand Budapest Hotel" Fable. * * * ½ R. Writer-director Wes Anderson's zany fable about concierge Gustave H. (Ralph Fiennes), his protégé Zero (Tony Revolori) and the murder of a countess. At the Esquire. (Kennedy) 100 minutes "The Grand Seduction" Comedy. * * ½ PG-13. Cozy, picturesque and soothingly reassuring, "The Grand Seduction" plays like a cross between "Doc Martin" and "Local Hero," a fish-out-of-water fable set within a fabulously scenic backdrop. It's the story of a tiny fishing village in Newfoundland that tries to hoodwink an American plastic surgeon into becoming the town doctor. Taylor Kitsch and Brendan Gleeson are among the cast. At the Chez. (Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post) 112 minutes
"How to Train Your Dragon 2" Animated tale. * * * ½ PG. This rousing follow-up to 2010's is soaring, utterly satisfying fun. (Kennedy) 105 minutes
"Jersey Boys" Musical adaptation. * * R. The leads come with impressive theatrical bona fides — as do the screenwriters. The director is no slouch himself. The music — decades past its inception — still makes you smile. Yet Clint Eastwood's adaptation of the Tony-winning musical "Jersey Boys" — about the rise of Frankie Valli (John Lloyd Young) and 1960s pop sensation Four Seasons — is more plodding than it has a right to be. Sure there's a lot of darkness to this tale of success: original band members Nick Massi and Tommy DeVito both spend time in stir; a neglected marriage finally gives way; a child dies; a band member makes a Faustian bargain that leads to an implosion. But the balance of aching realities and juke-box musical joys has mostly gotten lost in the move from stage to screen. (Kennedy) 134 minutes
"Maleficent" Fairy tale. PG. This film starring Angelina Jolie in the title role, has a clever enough big-picture take on the "Sleeping Beauty" tale, yet it sputters and snags. " (Andrew Barker, Variety) 97 minutes
"Obvious Child" Romantic comedy. R. This provocative romantic comedy from new writer-director Gillian Robespierre, opens with stand-up comedian Donna Stern doing one of her bits. Donna is played by "Saturday Night Live" alum Jenny Slate. As her business-school-prof mother complains at one point, she's a smart, nice Jewish girl who passed her SAT with flying colors. "And now you waste that 720 verbal telling jokes about having diarrhea in your pants." At the Esquire. (Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post) 85 minutes
"The Rover" Australian western. * * * ½ R. Robert Pattinson's squirrely, wounded turn as Rey, a transplanted American in an economically ruined Australia, in David Michod's lean, unforgiving dystopian saga, should go a long way in helping the actor put his identity as the "Twilight" vampire heartthrob to rest. Guy Pearce's performance as Eric, a man unreasonably bent on recovering a car stolen by Rey's brother, Henry, and his accomplices is just as compelling if far more inscrutable. Revenge saga, road movie and post-apocalyptic cautionary tale, "The Rover" finds these very different men hunting down Henry and the others for different, sometimes obscure reasons. "The Rover" has the tang of the Western. Yet, try as we might to fill Eric's laconic loner with some manner of familiar heroism, we are rebuffed. Much like Michôd's astounding feature debut, 2010's "Animal Kingdom," this film tussles with masculinity. When do innocent boys become culpable men? Who shelters, mentors, exploits those innocents? And, like many a postmodern Western, "The Rover" asks what happens on the downslope of Manifest Destiny. The answers are chilling. At the Mayan. (Kennedy) 102 minutes
"22 Jump Street" Comedy. * * * R. Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum head back to Metropolitan City to reprise their roles as undercover cops in this follow-up to "21 Jump Street." The film more than plays off sequel inanity. (Sean Fitz-Gerald, The Denver Post) 112 minutes
"Words and Pictures" Comedy. Not rated. The pen may be mightier than the sword, but if a picture is worth a thousand words, who would win in a duel? At the Chez. (Scott Foundas, Variety) 115 minutes
"X-Men: Days of Future Past" Comic book sequel. * * * ½ PG-13. . Director Bryan Singer and writer Simon Kinberg's dynamic installment opens in a dystopian future where bio-robots called Sentinels make swift work of mutants and their human allies. (Kennedy) 124 minutes

Book Reviews
its potential importance to the field of family history is significantly

Crafting a Southwestern Masterpiece: . Evetts Haley and "Charles Goodnight:
Cowman and Plainsman." By B. Byron Price. (Midland, Tex.: Nita
Stewart Haley Memorial Library [81o5 W. Indiana, Midland, Tex.
79701], 1986. Pp. 68. Acknowledgments, illustrations, notes, in-
dex. $20.)
This is a book about a book and the men who produced it. The au-
thor analyzes how the friendship of an eminent cowman-plainsman
(ninety-one-year-old Charles Goodnight) with a young Texas cowman-
historian (twenty-six-year-old J. Evetts Haley) and a talented Texas il-
lustrator (Harold D. Bugbee) resulted in "the greatest biography of a
cowman ever written."
Everything about the project was vast in scope and time consuming.
Even the life of Charles Goodnight (1836-1929) was lengthy and
eventful. Among his accomplishments he blazed the Goodnight-Loving
and Goodnight trails, which provided a route from Fort Beknap,
Texas, northward through New Mexico to Colorado and eventually to
Cheyenne, Wyoming. This route became the most important course
for cattle driven westward from Texas, "a trail burned deep into the
memories of men by bloody Indian warfare, drouthy drives and dying
cattle, dry water holes and alkali dust, tragic death and bitter disap-
pointment," according to Haley. Goodnight survived to ninety-three
with his memory amazingly accurate.
Only because the aging cowman communicated completely with the
young historian was it possible for the tales to be preserved. The men
can be compared to James Boswell and Samuel Johnson in their em-
pathy. Both were sired in an Emersonian belief that self-reliance was
required of Texans; each prided himself on being a cattleman first.
A decade (1925-1936) was devoted to research and to writing the
The third ingredient required was an illustrator. Difficult decisions
were confronted; originally, photographs were considered necessary.
Fortunately a young Texas artist, Harold D. Bugbee, accepted the task of
working with the two volatile personalities. The collaboration of the three
men resulted in Charles Goodnight: Cowman and Plaznsman, published by
Houghton-Mifflin in 1936 and favorably reviewed by the critics.
B. Byron Price relates how the chemistry between these typical Tex-
ans resulted in a biography that has become a classic, one that today is

The Dash…Christmases past, present
- Details
- Published on 23 December 2010

It was in elementary school when we were asked to write about our family Christmas traditions. We could ask parents and grandparents about the holidays when they were young.
I went to my grandpa and he gave me quite a story, which many of details are now failing me.
It was the 1930s and early 1940s when he grew up, the second-youngest of nine brothers and sisters. They may have invented hand-me-downs, along with every other family in this area at the time, I don't know.
He told the story of real candles on a real Christmas tree in the main room of the house. His parents put up a blanket in the doorway on Christmas Eve to prevent the kids from seeing the tree until morning. They each got something to treasure, no matter how simple or small.
When I was little, my extended family was big. I say "was" because there are even more of them now, so many it makes it difficult to get everyone together in one place.
When I was little we traded names for a gift exchange, but grandma and grandpa always had something for each of my cousins and me.
Time goes by and some traditions are hard to continue, but the memories are still there, fresh in my mind during this season.
Helping at a toy giveaway this year, I was glad to see some of the toy standards are still on store shelves. Here are some favorites you can't deny have staying-power:
- Candy Land, first seen from Milton Bradley in 1949, has undergone several design changes in the last 61 years, but the original fun is still there;
- Legos, the take-off of building blocks, also dates to 1949 when the first interlocking plastic pieces were made in Denmark. In 2010, the variety of Lego sets spans from the simple, toddler blocks, to movie-themed assortments to computer-programmable machines;
- Play-Doh, a modeling concoction available since 1955, provided endless possibilities for children to play with and mother's to get out of the carpet; you could even make your own at home, although it failed to retain the commercial brand's consistency over time. Who doesn't love the smell of Play-Doh?
- Barbie. We can debate the political-correctness and physically impossible, scale measurements on this one, but you cannot deny this toy's popularity since the first zebra-striped-bathing-suit-wearing dolls first hit the shelves in 1959;
- Basketball, soccer ball, baseball mit, (insert sports equipment of your choice here). Let the hours of fun and friendly backyard competition ensue;
- Crayons, name brand or otherwise, creativity abounds. Currently on the market is a crayon melting and molding set to recycle all those broken pieces laying around. Where was this 20 years ago Crayola?
- Teddy bear - enough said.
It wasn't all about video games and other electronic devices requiring data plans and subscription services.
I remember Christmases past, will enjoy the changes that come with Christmases present and look forward to those yet to come.
(Please note: fuzzy pink rabbit costumes and toy zeppelins are not on this list.)

Jedi Sango Pre-Republic by ZiemosPendricWatch
©2007-2016 ZiemosPendric
This is a favorite piece because a crossover concept has great appeal to me in keeping well known characters alive.
Sango makes a great Jedi

Very nice!
Cool, I've been trying to get a multianime jedi story for a while, nice to see I'm not the only one that thinks along those lines. That's one for the favs.
As if Sango needed to be any more awesome...
Lightsabers and Jedi make any anime char look bad ass!
