I like the black and white ones - old fashioned, I know, but my Dad used to do a lot of semi pro photography and he always said the definition was a lot better with b&w, and I have to agree with him.

The 2014 Draft Class is extremely deep at a few positions, wide receiver, cornerback and defensive line and it shows with in my overall top 50 big board. A few names that are at the top of my list including Auburn OLB Dee Ford, Stanford ILB Shayne Skov among others are surprising to anyone following the draft right now. Some others, especially UCF QB Blake Bortles, will find themselves lower than on other boards. My board is indicative only of where the player belongs talent-wise, not where I think they will be drafted.
Some players that really stood out to me that will rise through the draft process include OT Greg Robinson of Auburn. Robinson had not been on anyone's radar throughout the season because he is only a sophomore, but by the end of the season every started taking notice. Robinson is extremely athletic for someone of his size and it is very easy to fall in love with a 21 year old with his size and athleticism. Robinson reminds me of Oklahoma OT Trent Williams with his skill set and ceiling.
Linebackers, Kyle Van Noy and Shayne Skov are two others that have stood out to me this season. Skov has been the best leader in the country for the last few seasons leading one of the two or three best defenses. Skov is the type of player that will come right in to whatever NFL team he gets drafted by and should start right away as the leader in the middle of the defense. Van Noy has been a terror of the edge for years and will be a good competitor on special teams as well off the edge.
Texas A&M Quarterback Johnny Manziel is number seven overall on my board and my top quarterback. Others have fallen in love with Bortles size and ability while some have always had Louisville QB Teddy Bridgewater at the top of their boards. Both of those players are very good and could translate to being very good starting quarterbacks at the next level. Manziel has the highest ceiling of any player in this draft. Someone with his ability to make plays and impact his team playing the quarterback position could change the game. Manziel has the ability to change the NFL with his playmaking ability, but could flounder just like everyone else in this and every draft. No one is a sure thing, but I would expect a team to fall in love with Manziel's potential and that could even be Houston at number one.
There is plenty of value in the second round and beyond with players like Stanford DE Trent Murphy that can play several positions at the next level and should compete right away anywhere in the league. Arizona State DT Will Sutton and Florida State CB LaMarcus Joyner should be able to impact any team right away with their ability to play several positions. Joyner will help on special teams immediately as a returner.

Analysis of Genetic Data May Yield New Test for Endometriosis »
"Using sophisticated computer-based technology to analyze genetic data obtained from uterine tissue, researchers have identified patterns of genetic activity that can be used to diagnose endometriosis, an often-painful condition that occurs wh"...
Read the Analysis of Genetic Data May Yield New Test for Endometriosis article »
Danazol is indicated for the treatment of endometriosis amenable to hormonal management.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease
Most cases of symptomatic fibrocystic breast disease may be treated by simple measures (e.g., padded brassieres and analgesics).
In infrequent patients, symptoms of pain and tenderness may be severe enough to warrant treatment by suppression of ovarian function. Danazol is usually effective in decreasing nodularity, pain, and tenderness. It should be stressed to the patient that this treatment is not innocuous in that it involves considerable alterations of hormone levels and that recurrence of symptoms is very common after cessation of therapy.
Hereditary Angioedema
Danazol is indicated for the prevention of attacks of angioedema of all types (cutaneous, abdominal, laryngeal) in males and females.
In moderate to severe disease, or in patients infertile due to endometriosis, a starting dose of 800 mg given in two divided doses is recommended. Amenorrhea and rapid response to painful symptoms is best achieved at this dosage level. Gradual downward titration to a dose sufficient to maintain amenorrhea may be considered depending upon patient response. For mild cases, an initial daily dose of 200 mg to 400 mg given in two divided doses is recommended and may be adjusted depending on patient response. Therapy should begin during menstruation. Otherwise, appropriate tests should be performed to ensure that the patient is not pregnant while on therapy with Danazol. (See CONTRAINDICATIONS and WARNINGS.) It is essential that therapy continue uninterrupted for 3 to 6 months but may be extended to 9 months if necessary. After termination of therapy, if symptoms recur, treatment can be reinstituted.
Fibrocystic Breast Disease
The total daily dosage of Danazol for fibrocystic breast disease ranges from 100 mg to 400 mg given in two divided doses depending upon patient response. Therapy should begin during menstruation. Otherwise, appropriate tests should be performed to ensure that the patient is not pregnant while on therapy with Danazol. A nonhormonal method of contraception is recommended when Danazol is administered at this dose, since ovulation may not be suppressed.
In most instances, breast pain and tenderness are significantly relieved by the first month and eliminated in 2 to 3 months. Usually elimination of nodularity requires 4 to 6 months of uninterrupted therapy. Regular menstrual patterns, irregular menstrual patterns, and amenorrhea each occur in approximately one-third of patients treated with 100 mg of Danazol. Irregular menstrual patterns and amenorrhea are observed more frequently with higher doses. Clinical studies have demonstrated that 50% of patients may show evidence of recurrence of symptoms within one year. In this event, treatment may be reinstated.
Hereditary Angioedema
The dosage requirements for continuous treatment of hereditary angioedema with Danazol should be individualized on the basis of the clinical response of the patient. It is recommended that the patient be started on 200 mg, two or three times a day. After a favorable initial response is obtained in terms of prevention of episodes of edematous attacks, the proper continuing dosage should be determined by decreasing the dosage by 50% or less at intervals of one to three months or longer if frequency of attacks prior to treatment dictates. If an attack occurs, the daily dosage may be increased by up to 200 mg. During the dose adjusting phase, close monitoring of the patient's response is indicated, particularly if the patient has a history of airway involvement.
Capsules of 200 mg (orange), bottles of 100 (NDC 0955-0306-20).
Store at controlled room temperature, 15° C to 30° C (59° F to 86° F).

Birdscaping is the art of creating habitats for song birds by planting native plants trees and shrubs that bear seeds, nuts, berries, nectar and sap. Birdscaping also encompasses creating a bathing and drinking area plus a place to hide from predators.

which to eat and nest.
It's unfortunate that the habitat of birds is disappearing at an alaming rate due to over-population and development.

reward you with their healing song and their stress relieving

If you live in the County of Westchester we will come by and install your feeder and survey the property. Our job is to get you into the wonderful hobby of backyard birding.

I purchased this 1982 GS1100E new on May 8, 1987. It was a "leftover" or "non-current" and was found new and unsold in a dealer's showroom 5 years after its model year.
Offering a comfortable riding position, attractive styling, smooth ride, oil temperature gauge, digital gear indicator and other desirable features, the GS1100 was a true "superbike" of the early 1980's. An extraordinarily powerful and fast machine when compared with its contemporaries, the GS1100/GSX1100 series of machines still offer fine performance and reliability.
Last ridden on August 9, 1987, it is in perfect showroom condition, total mileage 184 (294 km).
Regarded by many as one of the best-styled and most attractive motorcycles of its era, the 1982-1983 GS1100E/GSX1100E models are a superb example of clean, uncluttered styling. This GS1100 was purchased with the intent of preserving it as an example of the finest machines of the early 1980's and as an example of one of the finest "UJM" motorcycles ever produced. It will eventually transfer to its next owner in the condition pictured.
The GS1100E is pictured above on Lookout Mountain west of Golden, Colorado.
Also see my 1983 GS1100E page, the pics below are from recent rides on this fine machine.

Eddie Palmieri: In Walked Bud
In Walked Bud
Eddie Palmieri (piano)
Listen Here! (Concord Picante 2276-2)
Eddie Palmieri (piano), Brian Lynch (trumpet), Donald Harrison (alto sax),
Conrad Herwig, Doug Beavers (trombones), John Benitez (bass), Horacio "El Negro" Hernįndez (drums), Giovanni Hidalgo (congas).
Composed by Thelonious Monk; arranged by Eddie Palmieri & Doug Beavers.
Recorded: New York, January 19-21 & 23, 2005
Rating: 93/100 (learn more)
It has been rare to hear Eddie Palmieri on record interpreting jazz standards, as he does with Thelonious Monk's "In Walked Bud" (and three others) on Listen Here! One of his trombonists on this track, Conrad Herwig, has released his own fascinating CDs presenting the "Latin Side" of John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Wayne Shorter, respectively. Perhaps Palmieri and/or Herwig can devote an entire project to Monk sometime soon, given the successful Latin transformation of "In Walked Bud," a tune based on "Blue Skies" changes, that Monk wrote for his close friend Bud Powell.
An original Latin-rhythm vamp paves the way for Monk's theme, Hernįndez and Hidalgo helping to give the composition a completely different flavor than usual. Trumpeter Brian Lynch solos first, delivering flowing runs with a crisp yet glowing sound. Donald Harrison's silky alto offers phrasings that take delightfully unexpected twists and turns, followed by Herwig's sure-footed, dancing trombone. All these concise and stimulating solos set the stage for Palmieri's more extended escapade. His infectious percussive attack and montuno ending are all Palmieri, with surprisingly little hint of Monk or Powell. The next bracing call-and-response interlude features exclamatory riffs exchanged by two groupings of horns. Hernįndez and Hidalgo then eagerly engage one another over Palmieri's persistent montuno. A final exultant refrain from the horns wraps up this totally reimagined Monk opus by Palmieri's brass-heavy working band.

Muscle cars from the good old days are hard to beat with their classic styling and nostalgic appeal.
Turns out, The Big Three in Detroit have gone back to their roots, releasing new cars that up the fun factor for a new generation.
These modern muscle cars may not be considered classics – yet – but what they do offer is a level of
performance, handling and efficiently unheard of in the muscle car era. They even sport reliability and a docile demeanor suitable for daily driving, all wrapped in a sexy candy shell.
Today's muscle cars have it all, making your favorite '60s models blush by comparison.
So before my ticker gives out, there are plenty of new rides I want to flog. In coordination with my previous Muscle Car Bucket List, it's only fair to group these present-day cars in their own category.
It should come as no surprise that this list is heavily influenced by American makes. Still, there are plenty foreign models that make the grade.
Here's one guy's Modern Muscle Car Bucket List:
'13 Shelby GT500. The new Mustang is just around the corner, but last year's Shelby is no slouch. Its supercharged 5.8 liter has 662 horsepower, enough to win the stoplight contest.
'14 Camaro Z28. Not your typical street version Super Sport Camaro. The most track-ready Z ever produced upped the ante, and then some. Its LS7 7.0 liter makes at least 500 ponies and is only available with a 6-speed manual.
'14 Dodge Challenger R/T Classic. A retro take on the '70-'74 E-body pony car, the Challenger is a home run. Dodge designers are having an awful lot of fun right now, and we get to enjoy it.
'15 Mustang GT. Though we have to wait until fall to see them in dealerships, the '15 'Stang is already a hit on the show circuit. With even more refinement and innovation, the newest pony will have plenty of engine options, including a turbo 2.3 liter Ecoboost that makes 305hp and a Boss 302 V8 model with 420hp.
'14 Nissan GT-R. This car comes straight out of the gate – or should I say video game – to take on all comers. 545 horses from a 3.8 liter twin-turbo V6 makes for some tire-shredding fun.
'14 Subaru Impreza WRX. An off-roading beast that can also take it to the street with a powerful 4-cylinder turbo. Making it even cooler is the fact that you can option the power up to 305hp. And nobody does AWD like Subaru.
'14 Corvette Stingray. The seventh iteration (C7) of Chevy's true American sports car is the best ever, hand down. Even the standard base model offers a level of sophistication that rivals cars costing two to three times as much.
'14 Dodge Charger R/T. Yes, those 2 extra doors take a little bit to get used to. Still, the Charger has transitioned nicely into one fast family truckster. The Hemi V8 is always a favorite in my book.
'14 Chevrolet SS. Finally, Chevrolet has released a true V8 powered performance sedan that is rear wheel drive. After nearly 20 years, the wait was worth it. Limited production status means instant classic.
'13 Corvette ZR1. This "old" C6 is an unbelievable machine.That see-through hood says it all: 638 supercharged horsepower with a top speed of over 200 MPH.

Preserving Beans (page 2 of 2)
by National Gardening Association Editors
Best Containers
There are quite a few different kinds of freezer containers. Plastic bags and paper or plastic boxes are the most popular for beans. If you use paper boxes, use plastic bags as liners. The boxes act as molds, shaping the plastic bags and their contents for convenient stacking. When the vegetables are frozen, remove and reuse the outer boxes. With plastic boxes, simply pack them and put them in the freezer. Plastic boxes are more expensive, but they can be reused many times.
Seal the packages and label them with their contents and the date. To freeze quickly, place the containers separately in a single layer an inch apart in the coldest part of the freezer. After 24 hours, they'll be completely frozen and may be stacked together.
Keep an up-to-date inventory of what you have in your freezer and plan to use the beans within one year. The flavor isn't as good after that, and by that time, fresh beans will be in season again, anyway!
Storing Lima Beans
Harvest the limas when they're green and plump with beans. Shell the beans and sort them according to size. To shell lima beans, hold a pod in both hands, placing your thumbs on the outer seam. Simultaneously, squeeze and twist the pod, pushing down on the seam. The pod will pop open. Rinse the beans and blanch them: small beans for one minute; medium ones for two minutes; large ones for three minutes. Then follow the freezing process for snap beans.
Storing Soybeans
For freezing, harvest soybeans when they're young and green. Trim off the blossom ends, blanch the beans in their shells for five minutes, then cool them quickly in ice water. When cool, squeeze the beans out of the pods. Rinse, drain, package and freeze the beans.

New York Bagel & Coffee Shop Restaurant Review: Breakfast is the busiest time of day in this modest strip-center diner that serves up as much bagels and lox as it does eggs and bacon. In fact, the menu features an entire section called Fish Box, which also offers chub, sable and kippered salmon on a bed of lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions and olives. For an authentic deli sandwich, kosher salami, corned beef, pastrami and knockwurst are waiting to be put between two slices of bread, preferably rye. Whitefish and pickled and creamed herring exemplify the place's roots, but such all-American favorites as burgers and hot dogs are also found. Don't miss the blintzes, served with sour cream, applesauce or a dusting of cinnamon.

The AFI Silver Theatre near D.C. is launching a film festival to celebrate Shakespeare's 450th birthday, and continuing into 2016 to honor the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death -- on his 52nd birthday April 23
The series will offer many filmed adaptations of his plays, plus a wide variety of movies that draw upon Shakespearean source material -- often in "adventurous and unusual ways," says the AFI Silver.
In addition to interpretations by Olivier, Branagh, and Zeffirelli, variations on the theme of Shakespeare include:
- "Henry IV" is a gay hustler (River Phoenix) smitten with rich kid (Keanu Reeves) in "My Own Private Idaho", adapted and directed by Gus Van Sant. Two years after making the movie, River Phoenix died of a drug overdose at age 23 on Halloween 1993.
- "The Taming of the Shrew" also was moved to America in the 1999 teen classic, "10 Things I Hate About You". It was a breakout role for Heath Ledger, who died in 2008 at age 28 from an accidental overdose of prescription medications.
- "Macbeth" is transported from Scotland to feudal Japan in Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood".
(If "Romeo and Juliet" could be transported to New York City slums in "West Side Story", why-o, why-o can't they.)
- Falstaff, the popular portly character in several Shakespearean plays, is imagined by Orson Welles in his rarely seen "Chimes at Midnight". Falstaffian Welles stars in the film he wrote and directed. It also features French femme fatale Jeanne Moreau as Doll Tearsheet, Sir John Gielgud as King Henry IV, and local Shakespeare Theatre regular Keith Baxter as Prince Hal.
Here are the series' initial films, with descriptions excerpted from AFI Silver:
Fri., Apr. 25, 7:15 P.M.
Laurence Olivier's directorial debut—on top of starring and producing—was filmed and released near the end of World War Two, and played as a patriotic spirit-raiser to wartime British audiences. Famous for its progression from a stage-bound Globe Theatre setting in Act I through ever more realistic and opened-up settings, it culminates in location photography, and uses a large cavalry for the climactic battle scenes. Released in the U.S. in 1946, it was awarded an honorary Oscar®, citing Olivier's "outstanding achievement as actor, producer and director in bringing 'Henry V' to the screen."
Sat., Apr. 26, 4:30 P.M.
Among the many notable screen versions of "Hamlet", Laurence Olivier's sets a particularly high standard, with shadowy black-and-white cinematography and probing psychology. Best Picture and Best Actor for Olivier were two of its four Oscar wins among seven nominations.
Sun., Apr. 27, 4:00 P.M.
Laurence Olivier serves up the legend of the most evil king in English history, as imagined by Shakespeare, from "the winter of our discontent" to "my kingdom for a horse!" Although unsuccessful in its 1955 release, the film enjoyed a landmark U.S. television broadcast that year (the British Film Institute has claimed that this "may have done more to popularize Shakespeare than any other single work.") It was a hit when re-released a decade later, and its critical reputation has grown with time. With Ralph Richardson, Cedric Hardwicke, John Gielgud, and Claire Bloom.
Sun., May 4, 8:45 P.M.
Franco Zeffirelli's lush, romantic and wildly popular adaptation of "Romeo and Juliet", at the time the most successful Shakespeare screen adaptation, struck a chord with youthful audiences around the world. It broke with stage tradition to cast younger actors (newcomers Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting), closer to the star-crossed lovers' actual ages. Nominated for four Oscars, it won for Best Cinematography and Costume Design. The narration is by an uncredited Olivier.
- HENRY V (1989) -- 25th Anniversary
Sat., May 10, 4:45; Thu., May 15, 6:45 P.M.
Kenneth Branagh soared to international stardom with this winning screen adaptation of Shakespeare's "Henry V". For Branagh, as for Olivier, this was his feature directorial debut. The cast includes Branagh as the newly crowned king, and Judi Dench (Mistress Quickly), Robbie Coltrane (Falstaff), Paul Scofield (Charles VI), Brian Blessed (Exeter) and Emma Thompson (Katherine). Narrated by Derek Jacobi.
Mon, May 12, 9:20; Wed., May 14, 9:45 P.M.; Thu., May 15, 9:30 P.M.
Akira Kurosawa's adaptation of "Macbeth" finds Toshirô Mifune in feudal Japan as a victorious warlord who becomes obsessed with and enslaved by his quest for power. When his calculating wife cajoles him into taking the throne by force, a series of bloody events, and unexpected twists, ensues.
Tue., May 20, 6:45 P.M.; Mon., May 26, 4:00 P.M.
Ten Oscar wins, including Best Picture, for the dazzling screen adaptation of Broadway's "Romeo and Juliet"-inspired musical smash, starring Natalie Wood and Richard Beymer. Unforgettable for the brilliant Leonard Bernstein/Stephen Sondheim score (with songs including "Maria," "Tonight," "Jet Song" and "America") and Jerome Robbins' vibrant choreography, featuring the Oscar-winning dancing of George Chakiris and Rita Moreno.
Sat., May 31, 6:30 P.M.; Sun., Jun 1, 6:30 P.M.
This teen fave, "10 Things I Hate About You" transports Shakespeare's "The Taming of the Shrew" to Padua High School. Rebellious outcast Patrick (Heath Ledger) is bribed to woo strong-willed riot girl Kat (Julia Stiles). Although their courtship begins on a false note, the two realize reluctantly that they might be made for each other.
The June offerings include more Shakespearean plays relocated to American settings:
- In "My Own Private Idaho", Gus Van Sant transposes Shakespeare's "Henry IV" into a male hustler's world. River Phoenix gives a heartbreaking performance as a dreamy, actually narcoleptic, gay prostitute in love with pal Keanu Reeves.
- In "O", "Othello" goes from a royal court to a basketball court in a high school in the American South, thanks to Brad Kaaya's adaptation.
Collaborating with AFI Silver on this project are: The Folger Shakespeare Library, the National Gallery of Art, the Smithsonian's Freer and Sackler Galleries, and the British Council.
Most of the area's Shakespearean festivities are at the Folger, which is making much ado about the 450th anniversary, including the annual birthday party April 6. Like the AFI Silver, the Folger's special activities continue through the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death.
So here's to "Bardolatry", as George Bernard Shaw called Shakespeare worship -- including Shaw's own idolatry of the Bard.

Crowds at Presidential Palace Overjoyed by Mubarak's Resignation
"Now our revolution is complete," said Ali Aboutera, a 26-year-old computer programmer who spent the day in front of the presidential palace, taking part in a crowd of protesters in front of the building that swelled to more than 20,000 as darkness fell. "A few hours ago it was incomplete, but now we have achieved the Egyptian dream."
Women wailed in the streets around him, tears flowing from their eyes, their arms in the air. He had just gone home for some food, after a day of protesting, when he heard the news on his television, he said. Immediately he ran out on his balcony and yelled into the night, he said, along with other neighbors.
Earlier in the afternoon, two large brown military helicopters flew out of the compound, banking over the crowd prompting cheers–and speculation that the helicopters carried President Mubarak and his entourage out of the city. Numerous reports during the day said the now former president had decamped to Sharm Al Sheik, an Egyptian town on the Red Sea.
Mr. Aboutera predicted that just as the winds of change from Tunisia swept through Egypt, igniting an already simmering protest movement here, that will now carry to the rest of the Arab world.
"I think within the year the rest of the Arab leaders will be replaced by democratically elected governments," he said. "This can't be stopped."
Many said that the process was sometimes unbearably difficult, the country was disrupted, and many died–an estimated 300 according to human rights groups–but that they felt they had no choice, particularly after the deaths.
"It is something like having a baby," said Magdy Ellethy, a 55-year-old tour guide, standing in front of the Presidential Palace, which was heavily fortified with tanks, barbed wire, sandbags and troops, in anticipation of a march on the presidential quarters. Those numbers surged during the afternoon, as mostly peaceful crowds converged on the building from several locations. "It hurts a lot and you suffer, but look what you create."
"For Egypt, this was a kind of rebirth," he said.
As a tour guide, his livelihood came to a standstill these past weeks and likely won't recover soon, he said. "But we had no choice," he added. "We had to do this for those who were killed, and they will never be forgotten."

The promise of rescue: Your gift matched
December 3, 2012 by The IRC
|Students in an IRC "Healing Classroom" at Jalozai refugee camp in Pakistan. Photo: Peter Biro/IRC
International Rescue Committee president George Rupp shared this email message with supporters today:
Dear IRC Supporter,
Some people call what we do "charity."
I have a different point of view.
The International Rescue Committee offers much more than helping hands during times of crisis. In the very bleakest of conditions, we work with resilient people to rebuild lives and to restore human dignity and potential.
We invest in the future of refugees to confirm our own commitment to humanity.
And right now, as wars rage and disasters strike, as millions face unimaginable suffering, more than ever those in crisis need compassionate people like you.
All online gifts will be matched up to $1.9 million through December 31 by the IRC's lead supporter, The Peter Jay Sharp Foundation, as well as Starr International Foundation and a group of generous major donors.
Please do not set this extraordinary opportunity aside. Your support today will ease suffering and make an immediate and lasting difference in the life of a refugee. Here is the good your gift can bring:
- Safety to thousands of families steadily pouring in to Jordan's Zaatari refugee camp to escape the deadly conflict in Syria;
- Critical support for our long-term work in Congo protecting women and girls threatened by the epidemic of sexual violence;
- Healing Classrooms at Jalozai refugee camp in Pakistan to help children recover from trauma;
- A warm, helpful welcome and a fresh start for refugees who are resettled here in the United States.
We cannot do our work without you. As you contemplate your end-of-year giving, please remember the importance and urgency of the IRC's global mission.
Remember, every dollar you donate will be matched by special friends of the IRC. Your tax-deductible donation will provide support to all of the IRC's programs in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities.
I deeply appreciate all you do to support the world's refugees, and I thank you for your generosity.
George Rupp
President, International Rescue Committee

When my English boyfriend Lee got a working visa for Canada and we mentioned to our Canadian friends that we planned to settle down and spend the winter in Newfoundland, after traveling my home country from coast to coast, the response was always the same, "Are you crazy?"
Winter in Newfoundland, a remote island off the East Coast of Canada, conjures up images of freezing Atlantic winds, ten foot snow drifts and frozen lakes. Everyone was baffled as to why we wanted to voluntarily spend the coldest months of the year in this rugged location when we could have enjoyed a milder winter by flying back to the west coast of British Columbia.
However, we weren't fazed by the impending snowstorms one bit. We wanted to visit Newfoundland, Lee had a job offer in St. John's and we weren't going to let a little weather stop us. Growing up in Alberta, I had experience with severe winters and knew how to handle them. Besides, it seems a bit pointless to spend a year working abroad in Canada and try to avoid winter as much as possible. Winter and snowy weather is such an important part of Canadian culture and the national psyche. Trying to hide from winter during a year in Canada would be like visiting Australia and avoiding the beaches and the heat.
So Lee got the job on his Canada work permit and we settled down in a little house near St. John's in November, just in time to hunker down before the cold began to set in. We were ready for the full experience of a Canadian winter and everything that it could throw at us.
Oh and it certainly had a lot to throw. I am used to crisp and dry prairie winters and I was surprised by the sheer amount of freezing precipitation which was hurled violently in our direction by fierce Atlantic storms. The power went out at our house numerous times, as a result of strong winds blowing over the lines. The winter weather came on so suddenly that one night we fell asleep with grass on the ground and the next morning we awoke with a foot of snow blanketing everything in sight.
The climate of Newfoundland, much like the culture and the cuisine, is ruled by the sea. This makes it one of the stormiest and windiest parts of North America. I'll never forget the night when I was walking home from the gym during a snowstorm and a gust of wind actually pushed me over and sent me toppling into a ditch. Well played, Mother Nature, well played.
Lee, having only experienced the somewhat boring mild and rainy dreariness of a British winter, was in awe of this swirling snow globe of freezing white particles he now found himself in. He set off to work like an intrepid explorer, bundled up in two pairs of pants, waterproof gloves, a balaclava and even my swimming goggles to keep the snowflakes out of his eyes. Every time a fresh storm roared in and dumped more snow on us, he looked out the window with eyes wide in amazement.
The thing is that by the time most Canadians become adults, they have gotten incredibly fed up with snow. We used to find it exciting when we were kids, but with age it becomes associated with shoveling the driveway and delays on the roadway rather than tobogganing and hot chocolate. We whine and moan about the snow and how cold it is and we walk around with our heads down and our scarves wrapped tightly around our faces in a dismal winter funk.
It sometimes takes seeing the snow through the eyes of a foreigner to appreciate it again. Lee made me film him as he belly-flopped off the back porch into a deep snowdrift. When I wasn't looking, he gathered up fresh handfuls of the icy white stuff and threw them at me. He reminded me that winter can be lots of fun and that you are never too old to play in the snow.
Speaking of having fun, the only thing more surprising than the height of the snowdrifts was how incredibly welcoming the people of Newfoundland were. They are known colloquially as "Newfies" and the rest of Canada believes a great number of stereotypes about the inhabitants of this island, including that they are all redneck fishermen who drink way too much rum and love to party.
While of course this is not true, it is worth nothing that Newfoundlanders consume more alcoholic beverages than any other province in Canada so it is definitely a cultural experience to enjoy a shot of "screech" (the local rum) while you are there.
One of the things that I had heard the most about Newfoundlanders was that they were very friendly and welcoming and I wondered if this was true or an exaggeration. I was not disappointed, as we met some wonderful people who welcomed us onto the "Rock" with big smiles. They gave us shots of rum, home cooked fried moose meat, futons to sleep on, tours of the city, tips on where to go and so much more. They were down to earth and fun-loving and definitely knew how to party. If you spend any time in Newfoundland, you are sure to meet some people who will embrace you like you are a long lost family member, even though you won't be able to understand a word they are saying through their thick accents.
From the stunning view of the Atlantic Ocean at the top of Signal Hill to the raucous nightlife of George Street to the grazing herd of Caribou we spotted while hiking in Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland continued to surprise us and delight us during our four chilly months there. It turns out that we weren't crazy at all for spending the winter in Newfoundland and that it was totally worth braving the snow and ice to find the warmth hidden underneath.

Wikipedia has an article on gamma at Gamma Correction which unfortunately has been totally corrupted now (imagining that gamma is to correct human eye response instead of correcting CRT response). Here is a much better mainstream article on gamma from the w3C. So this Wikipedia page is a real pity, but nevertheless, the Wikipedia article still includes this excellent graph from before it was corrupted:
The bottom curve is the response curve of the CRT monitor. This curve shows y = x to the power of 2.2. Specifically, the example is marked to show input (along bottom scale) of 50% is reduced (on CRT output screen) to only come out as 21.8% (along the left side scale). Darker data is shown even darker yet (generally disappears, by the mere act of showing it), and only the brightest data gets closer to its appropriate value. This is what is seen on the CRT screen, but the problem is caused by the electron gun inside the CRT. This is the gamma problem which the non-linear CRT response has, and which gamma correction fixes, to allow CRT monitors to be usable for tonal images.
To make the CRT show the data properly, all of our digital pictures are "corrected" by gamma encoding ... using the top curve. Low end values are boosted more than high end values, so that the corrected response of the top curve is the straight line in the middle (linear). The example is marked showing that input of 21.8% is boosted to 50%, and input of 50% is boosted to about 73%. Naturally, the point is, now 21.8% in is 21.8% out, and also 50% in is 50% out. (on the screen, to be again same as linear, same for the eye as what the camera lens saw in the first place). The world standards like sRGB require gamma 2.2, for this reason.
It has been said by good authority that there are other advantages of gamma encoding. Boosting the weakest signals also raised them above the noise level (analog television RF transmission), and the decompression step pushed the noise way down and became essentially noise suppression. Surely that was true for analog television transmission, but digital is one and zeros, and also has CRC protection around it, so my notion is that this stated advantage no longer exists for our digital pictures. Does not hurt anything though.
We may no longer use a CRT monitor, but nevertheless, all of our digital pictures still use this same gamma encoding system, and ALL of the digital RGB images in the world are already gamma encoded. Everything is still compatible, old images, and old CRT monitors too. The modern sRGB specification requires it. The point of my article is that we of course must expect to see these boosted gamma data values in our histograms. The mid-point is NOT 128.
Specifically, the math is this:
To use exponents, first we scale the tonal value to a percentage of full scale, specifically, to be a number between 0 and 1 (0 and 100%).
Note that zero to any exponent is still zero, and One to any exponent is still One. So the end points are maintained unchanged, but all the rest is rather different.
Gamma converts that 18% this way:
18% Gray card = (0.18 ^ 1/2.2) = 0.46. 46% of 255 = 117 on the gamma histogram.
117 is a little short of midpoint 128. Only coincidentally close to middle due to gamma in digital images, but the 18% was not close. Film did not have histograms or gamma, so it stayed at 18%.
Camera actions like White Balance, Contrast, Saturation, etc, shift the data and can change this number somewhat.
The center of the scale at 128 is 50% (of full scale 255), so
128 = (0.5 ^ 1/2.2) = 0.73. 73% of 255 = 187 on the gamma histogram. Closer to 3/4 than to 1/2. It won't be precise, because the camera's job is to modify it somewhat, due to white balance, contrast, brightness, etc.
We don't need to understand the math, but it really is fairly simple...
The curve representing the CRT response is: output = input ^ gamma (symbol ^ is to the power of gamma, which is 2.2 exponent)
The curve representing the correction to the data is: output = input ^ 1/gamma (opposite correction - new response is straight line in the middle - linear)
The exponent 2.2 is numerically near 2 (this value 0.5 squared is 0.25 instead of 0.218, but the idea is close). So a rough approximation of the concept is that the CRT shows the output value of the data squared, and the correction of the input provides the square root of the data value, to compensate, so the corrected response comes out a linear straight line. If that helps to see the concept.. the actual number is 2.2, called gamma.
CRT monitors are no longer as significant as in years past, however, all of the worlds RGB data is already gamma encoded, which is extremely significant, so we simply continue what we always did. Because - all of the existing digital image data has already been gamma encoded. So is all new data.

Track & Field Teams Wrap up Competition in HL Outdoor Championships
May 5, 2013
Rebecca Zaiter recorded a strong showing for the women's team, finishing second in both the 800-meter and 1,500-meter runs.
The women's team finished with 51 team points, while the men's squad wrapped up the meet with 42 total points.
Zaiter crossed the finishing line in 4:27.38 in the 1,500-meter run, which set a new Horizon League Outdoor record. In the 800-meter run, Zaiter finished the race in 2:11.90. She accounted for 16 team points with the two standout performances.
"Rebecca is definitely the standout athlete of the meet," said head coach Jim Knoedel. "She pushed an All-American in the 1,500, and then had to turn around and run the 800 just 40 minutes later. She was clearly tired, but found a way to avoid third-place by fighting at the end. I was tremendously impressed with Rebecca's performance this weekend."
On the men's side, junior Richmond Richter tallied a third-place finish in the triple jump after leaping 14.74 meters in the finals. Classmate Seyi Ogunleye took fifth (14.12 meters) in the competition, while Justin Higginbotham placed sixth (14.04 meters).
"Our depth in the triple jump is something we have been able to hang our hat on all season," Knoedel said. "It was great to see us continue that this weekend."
Senior Roy Mwale finished fifth in the 400-meter dash, collecting a time of 48.68 seconds. Senior Anthony Hollingsworth crossed the finishing line in 10.90 seconds in the 100-meter dash, and also recorded a sixth-place finish in the 200-meter (21.77 seconds). The combination of freshman Martin Hunter, junior Ryan Blackmon, sophomore Gunnar Sterne and Mwale made up the 4x400 relay, a foursome that finished third overall in 3:18.77.
Senior Ariel Butzine, the defending outdoor champion in the 800-meter run, finished fourth in the women's 400-meter dash with a time of 56.91 seconds. In the triple jump, senior Andrea Crump leaped 11.53 meters, good for a fifth-place individual finish. The women's 4x400 relay, comprised of Jaime Johnson, Zaiter, sophomore Mary Daly and Butzine, finished fourth after crossing the finishing line in 3:53.18.
Representatives from both the men's and women's teams will compete in next Friday's Dr. Keehler Invitational at North Central. The meet will serve as one of the final tune-ups for individual NCAA postseason consideration. The NCAA West Regional is scheduled for May 23-25 in Austin, Texas.

Ruby Memorial Preparing to Celebrate Breast Reconstruction Awareness Day
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on October 15, 2013 @ 7:44PM
Created on October 15, 2013 @ 6:34PM
October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and health officials at Ruby Memorial Hospital have been teaching people about the disease all month long.
Wednesday will mark the hospital's second annual Breast Reconstruction awareness day, better known as BRA day.
Doctors believe roughly 70% percent of women aren't aware of reconstructive options post breast cancer surgery. Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer women are diagnosed with aside from skin cancer.
According to experts, one in eight women will be diagnosed with the disease within their lifetime. Some have to experience life saving operations to have the cancer removed which can lead to some women losing all or parts of their breasts.
Doctors hope to teach people about reconstruction options because dealing with breast removal can be very traumatic.
Dr. Lisa Jacob is a Breast Reconstruction Specialist at Ruby Memorial Hospital. She said, "Waking up with either a breast mound or a completely formed breast, they don't experience the loss of the breast. Then they recover faster both emotionally and physically."
Susan Gookin is a breast cancer survivor who underwent reconstruction surgery. She feels it was absolutely the right decision for her.
"I went into my surgery very at peace knowing what would happen. With me, I got rid of the cancer at that point and felt like a whole woman instead of a woman that had cancer," said Gookin.
Reconstruction procedures may not be right for everyone. Anyone with questions about what options they have should talk to their doctor.

Curious George Inspired Birthday (21 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
When I started planning my daughter Sophia's second birthday party, I began with a cheerful color palette of red and yellow. For toddler parties, I think it's more personal to incorporate a character that makes the birthday boy/girl smile. We decided on the classic illustration of Curious George because our daughter loves watching the show and often carries around her own stuffed monkey. The monkey/banana theme is also a perfect fit with red and yellow. To create a polished and charming design, I decided on polka dots and swooping/scalloped edges, and I think the combo turned out to be both cute and elegant. Because I'm a fashion designer, I turned to fabrics for color, texture, and pattern ideas and created a mood board to help me pull it all together.
I scanned images of Curious George from a plush book and included one on the invitation and a few others throughout the party. I created two versions of the invite: one in a lovely frame shape to snail-mail to schoolmates and family members (who've yet to enter the digital age!) and another one to email to our friends. The invite set the tone for the vintage-modern look that carried throughout the event.
We threw the party in Plantation, Florida's Heritage Park because it has a covered playground for the tots and a shelter with picnic tables. For the overlays, I had fallen in love with a yellow and white striped fabric at Ikea, but it was discontinued. To recreate a similar look, I used yellow fabric with large abstract flowers. We had 6 picnic tables, a sweets table, and a food table. I custom made the table runners with mini-polka dot fabric, and for the tassels, I added the DIY rosettes from the tutorial by Paiges of Style.
The showstopper of the party was the sweets table. In the center, I placed the striking DIY red cake stand. I made it with a candleholder and a Lazy Susan from Ikea. After attaching them with a long wood screw, I spray painted it red. The bold color really showed off the white fondant rum cake from Edda's Cake Designs, which I dressed up with a ribbon and yellow orchids.
I baked vanilla and chocolate cupcakes and finished them with wrappers and toppers of my own design. I also decorated a few of them with the DIY rosettes from Paiges of Style's tutorial. This gave the table a feminine touch. To create the DIY cake stands, I attached square dinner plates to candleholders. In the candy section of the sweets table, the color theme continued with pops of bright yellow and red candies accompanied by lollipops I brought from a recent visit to my family in Puerto Rico.
This was my first DIY party, and I wanted to make everything myself. But, as my to-do list grew and grew, I started ordering a few things. Lilly, from I heart Sugar Sugar, created the cute and delicious Curious George cookies and number 2 cookies, which helped to tie the monkey character to the sweets table. My cousin Michelle from Mommy Love made the cake pops.
We rented a snow cone machine and made the frozen treats even more special with traditional syrop de piragua, another find from Puerto Rico. Everybody loved the unexpected tropical flavors.
For the youngsters, I wanted to create a comfortable and entertaining environment. Rented kid-sized chairs from Panache Linens and Ikea's side tables (for the "kids tables") were the perfect fit. I set up a couple of "Doodling Desks" and a "Play-Doh Place," and these were a hit with the kids (and easy!).
Before they left the park, party goers filled their goodie-bags with candy, Curious George books, bubbles, and punch balloons.

Red Raiders Top Nevada, 70-53
December 30, 1998
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Texas Tech overcame a slow start to defeat Nevada 70-53 Wednesday night behind 15 points by Mario Layne and 14 by Johnny Phillips.
Nevada (4-5) scored the game's first nine points and led 15-8 at the 12:48 mark, but the Red Raiders (8-5) went on an 8-0 run in a stretch of less than two minutes to pull ahead 16-15 with 11 minutes left in the half.
Andre McLeod had 13 points and John Burrell 11 to lead Nevada.
Tech led 35-31 at the half and pulled away with a 13-5 flurry after intermission, opening a 48-36 lead with 11:33 remaining.
Nevada scored six straight points to get within 48-42 with just under 10 minutes to play, but that was as close as the Wolfpack got because Tech went on a six-point run of its own.
In the second half, Texas Tech shot 65 percent from the field and outrebounded Nevada 26-9.

Secrets of Success
I Couldn't be More Proud
Friday, June 15, 2012
Okay, I'm a disgustingly proud mother. I have three of the best kids in the world and am never afraid to share their accomplishments. I have to crow a little this week as all three of them have had some terrific achievements this week. We started with my oldest son who graduated high school this week. He will be attending UMass Lowell in the fall for Business. He received the Phillip S. Gilmore award for band at the end of the year and made the honor roll the last two terms of this year. He'll begin work this week. School has been a struggle for him the last 4 years but he's worked hard and done well and was accepted to all 7 colleges that he applied to.
My daughter, who is 14 just graduated the eighth grade last evening. She is becoming a beautiful young woman. She has been the starting pitcher on the school, rec and tournament softball teams for the past 2 years and began pitching at 8 years old. She also played goalie for the school field hockey team in 6th and 7th grade and in 8th - due to an injury - could not play, but was a captain and trained the new goalie. She received a Presidential Award for Academic Excellence last night. She has excelled academically, athletically and musically.
My youngest son just completed 7th grade. I was notified by his Spanish teacher, who I have contact with outside of school, that I should attend the Awards Ceremony for him today but not for what class. The teacher for each class got up and distributed about 5-6 awards to different students. He was not called up for any of these. Then, they all got up to award two students in the grade an overall award for Academic Excellence. My son was one of these two. He and I were both completely surprised by this.
I'm very sorry for being one of those annoying parents, but I just can't help being so proud of these children. Being that my dh and I both work full time and are involved in things outside of home and work - these achievements have been made much due to their hard work and dedication as opposed to a mother or father standing over them to excel. For this reason, I am extremely proud of all that they have done!

Not annoying at all! I love when parents brag about their kids instead of commenting on their shortfalls. My youngest made the A honour roll this year for grade 11 and trust me, I was the bragging mom myself. Ooops..look at that, I just bragged again when you were trying to brag about your kids.

What does a wart remover have in common with fire wood? Surprisingly, both of them are flammable.
Since 2009, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)—has received 14 reports concerning over-the-counter wart remover products. The complaint is that some wart removers have a mixture of liquid dimethyl ether and propane.
As a result of these chemicals some consumers have caught fire during use. These incidents have occurred at home and have harmed consumers and or set fire to items around there homes.
According to FDA nurse consultant Karen Nast, "The labeling for these products clearly states that they are flammable and should be kept away from fire, flame, heat sources, and cigarettes," Nast notes. In three of the reports, there was a candle nearby, but in the other 11 reports no ignition source was identified. "This is extremely concerning, especially because people may not be aware that everyday household items like curling irons and straight irons can be hot enough to be an ignition source for these products," Nast says.
Nast says that while the FDA has received only 14 reports of fires related to cryogenic treatments to date, such occurrences are often under-reported. She encourages consumers to inform the FDA about similar experiences. "It's important for us to know when and how problems like this happen," she says.
You can report device-related problems through FDA's MedWatch alert system.

March 11, 2011
AUBURN, Ala. - A two-run rally in the ninth inning propelled #7 Arizona State to an 8-7 victory over #23 Auburn at Plainsman Park. Zack MacPhee's RBI single with two away gave the Devils the lead, which would hold up in the bottom of the ninth. ASU, who trailed 4-0, 6-5 and 7-6, upped its record to 10-2 on the season.
The Sun Devils played their fifth straight one-run game, the first time that has happened since 1987, when head coach Tim Esmay and assistant coach Mike Benjamin were playing for ASU under head coach Jim Brock.
Trailing 7-6 entering the ninth, Austin Barnes drew a leadoff walk then was bunted to second by Matt Newman. Andrew Aplin, pinch hitting for Xorge Carrillo, singled up the middle to score Barnes and even things at seven apiece. Andy Workman followed with a single off the umpire at second then both runners moved up on a wild pitch. After a Ruettiger fielder's choice cut Aplin down at the plate, MacPhee singled through the right side to score Workman and make it 8-7. Ruettiger was thrown out at third to end the inning. Mitchell Lambson, who entered the game in the seventh, set the Tigers down in order in the bottom of the ninth to pick up the win. Lambson (3-1) has been the winning pitcher in each of the last three Sun Devil games. Jake Barrett got the start for ASU, going 5.2 innings and allowing six runs in five hits with seven strike outs.
After striking out the first two batters of the game, Barrett ran into trouble. He hit shortstop Casey McElroy with a pitch then walked third baseman Wes Gilmer on four straight pitches. Designated hitter Dan Gamache cashed in on the free bases, lacing a double off the wall in right center to give the Tigers a 2-0 lead after one.
Gamache struck again in the third, again making Barrett pay for a two-out walk. Gamache tripled to left center with two men on to give AU a 4-0 lead. Xorge Carrillo got the Sun Devils on the board in the fourth, cutting the Auburn lead in half. After Deven Marrero singled and Austin Barnes doubled, Carrillo singled to left, scoring them both to make it 4-2. Johnny Ruettiger's RBI single two batters later made it 4-3.
Arizona State grabbed a 5-4 lead in the sixth with the help of some Auburn miscues. After Matt Newman led off the inning with a single and Matt Newman was hit by a pitch, Andy Workman laid down a sacrifice bunt to third base. Auburn's Wes Gilmer could not field it, however, and the Devils had the bases loaded with no one out. Ruettiger then tied it with a sac fly to left. On the play, Carrillo appeared to be doubled off at second, but Justin Hargett dropped the throw from left field, allowing Carrillo to scamper back safely. After a walk and a balk, Riccio Torrez gave ASU the lead with a sacrifice fly to right.
The lead would be short lived, as the Tigers responded in the bottom of the sixth. After Barrett quickly got the first two men out, he gave up a double to Tony Caldwell, then a two-run homer to Kevin Patterson to make it 6-5. After hitting the next batter, he was relieved by Trevor Williams, who ended the inning with a strike out. Williams would throw an inning total, not allowing a base runner and fanning two before giving way to Lambson.
Ruettiger would once again deliver in a big spot, this time in the seventh as he singled home Barnes to tie the score at 6-6 in the top of the seventh. In the bottom of the eighth, Lambson had two outs and two on when Justin Fradejas hit a slow grounder to second. Deven Marrero's throw was over the head of Zach Wilson at first, allowing pinch runner Bobby Andrews to score from second base and put Auburn up 7-6 and set up ASU's game-winning ninth inning rally.
Austin Barnes had three hits, including two doubles and three runs scored to lead the Sun Devil offense. Andy Workman had three hits and was on base all five times he came to the plate, drawing a walk and reaching on an error. Ruettiger had two hits and three RBI, while Zack MacPhee also had a pair of base hits.
The Devils and Tigers will play game two of the series on Saturday afternoon, with first pitch scheduled for 2 p.m. Arizona time.

Bolton's Gary Fox admits he can't wait to feel like his old self again after his heart condition reared its ugly head at the English National Badminton Championships.
After he and Ben Stawski's men's doubles journey had ended in the second round by number three seeds Matthew Nottingham from Macclesfield and partner Chris Coles, disaster struck for Fox.
The 23-year-old is due to have an operation in a fortnight after being diagnosed with atrial fibrillation last October, a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate.
But despite this Fox was still competing in the Milton Keynes this weekend as he went for glory in both the men's and mixed doubles events.
Gail Emms got her badminton 'comeback' off to a winning start at the English National Badminton Championships in Milton Keynes today.
The 36-year-old 2004 Olympic silver medallist and former world, European and Commonwealth champion teamed up with last year's mixed doubles runner-up Marcus Ellis to defeat Ben Stawski and Alex Langley in their second-round contest after an opening bye.
But their performance was not without a minor hiccup at the start. Ellis and Emms let slip the opening game as she looked a little rusty before settling down and turning things round 13-21 21-10 21-6.
Emms, who won this mixed doubles title six times with three different partners before retiring after the 2008 Olympics, will now face 2012 champions and the world's fifth-ranked pair in Chris and Gabby Adcock when the tournament moves to the arena:stadiumMK tomorrow for the quarter and semi-final stages.
