Chris tells an Apocalyptic Tale

In Reference to previous post… Your Visions on TH.2058… Chris Reads the Winning Entries
In Dominique Gonzales-Foerster's installation for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall, TH.2058, the artist imagines Tate Modern 50 years hence. Tate launched a competition, inviting people to respond to her apocalyptic vision of the future by writing a short story. We chose one of the best entries to be turned into a short film, narrated by Dr Who's Christopher Eccleston. Director Sam Blair comments: "I like how the story invents this secretive, murky, scientific conspiracy of silence that is keeping the population literally in the dark."

Photo Album: Body and Sohl
What sets Marty Sohl's photographs apart from many other dance action shots is the crystalline clarity of her images, a result she attributes in part to developing her own film for over 20 years. Expressions captured on the dancers' faces move; their feet don't blur. As a former dancer -- Sohl performed for ten years with Carlos Carvajal's Bay Area-based Dance Spectrum -- Sohl knows how and when to arrest dancers in motion. And, since she took her first professional shot 26 years ago, Sohl's done it all over the world, producing the textbook images of everyone from San Francisco Ballet legend Evelyn Cisneros (and, more recently, SFB's Lucia Lacarra) to American Ballet Theatre and Royal Ballet mega-star Ethan Stiefel.
The openness on the dancers' faces -- and their freedom in en l'air when posing for Sohl -- may also owe something to the way she approaches her sessions. Some photographers entirely control their shoots, not inviting input from the dancer-subjects; some rely on the choreographers. "My studio shots," says Sohl, "are a collaborative effort." After she and the dancers brainstorm, she explains, "we start working on making their ideas into something that will look good with my lighting, and fit within the limited space of my 12' wide seamless backdrop."
Often, of course, the choreographer gets involved. "My shoots with Alonzo King's Lines Ballet are a collaboration between myself, the designer Robert Rosenwasser, Alonzo, and the dancers," says Sohl, whose images of Lines will be published as a Calendar next year by Tidemark. "Alonzo is able to bring out something deep from inside them, and that's what makes my Lines photos so unique...." In particular, Sohl has an almost haunting chemistry with Lines veteran Chiharu Shibata. Her ability to highlight extraordinary costume without sacrificing the individuality of the dancer is captured in a recent shot of the retiring Marina Hotchkiss. And, her unique facility at working with the dancers to create motion shots that depict the technical feat as well as the artistry of the subject is expressed in her images of Lauren Porter.
Also in the Bay Area, Sohl recently began shooting Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley, including stunning shots of Boston Ballet transplant Alexandra Koltun, who dance insiders say is a star of the future. (She's one of two dancers performing the title role in Roland Petit's "Carmen" with San Jose this May.) Asked to name favorites to work with, Sohl responds with typical enthusiasm, "I have so many favorite dancers that I can't list them here. For a studio shoot, dancers who have a positive, upbeat attitude about the shoot make it fun. I've photographed a couple of ABT dancers who totally amazed me. The director asked them to do a certain jump, and they did it possibly as many as ten times -- just to make sure we got a good one. When I got the film back, not only was every jump perfect, but every jump was nearly exactly the same -- flawless. And they didn't complain that they were tired. They make my job easy!
"Another favorite that comes to mind was a couple of boys of about 10 years old who dance Chinese dance. They are trained in a style of Chinese martial arts. I believe they had never been photographed in action before, and when they discovered that I could catch them mid-air, they could hardly be stopped. With my digital camera, we could check to see what I caught, and they'd make corrections and jump again and again. Some of my favorite dancers to photograph, surprisingly, aren't even pros! Recently, I've shot a lot of young dancers for their audition photos, and I thoroughly enjoy it. The young dancers have an innocence and enthusiasm that is sometimes lacking in older dancers, who, often, just want to get the shoot over with."
In the realm of Chinese dance, Sohl has also recorded stunning images of Bay Area-based Lily Cai Chinese Dance.
Not that she's confined to the Bay Area. Sohl's talents are in worldwide demand, with everyone from Boston Ballet, Alberta Ballet, and dancers from the Joffrey Ballet of Chicago seeking her out. Not confined to dance, she's also a favorite of the Metropolitan Opera and the San Francisco Opera.
Even for a popular veteran in as much demand as Sohl, being a dance photographer is a career hardly more secure than -- well, than being a dancer. "I've just barely made this a viable career," she confides. "If it weren't for my low overhead -- my office and darkroom are in my home, and I don't have a studio -- I couldn't do this work exclusively. The work and money are limited. Every time a photographer offers to do work for free for a company -- I'm speaking of companies with a decent budget -- they take work away from photographers who depend on those jobs for a living. In my case, especially, in order to make enough money to live on, I tend to take on more work than I can handle, which, after so many years, has affected my health. I'm at a point in my life where I'm trying to enjoy living, as well as my work, which means cutting back on the amount of work I take on. Whether I can survive or not remains to be seen."
For Sohl, enjoying life has included a return to dance as participant -- exploring a newfound fascinating for Argentine tango, born after she photographed performers from Luis Bravo's "Forever Tango."

For Misty Shaffer, a 100-pound loss in weight is astonishing, and that's putting it nimbly. The Army wife shocked her husband of five years when the Afghanistan veteran returned home from a one-year overseas deployment in 2013. In a March 18 CNN report, sources caught up with the slimmer North Carolina woman, who shared her dieting and weight loss secrets that helped her shed 100-pounds of body weight.
You hear about miraculous stories of ordinary people slimming down and losing boatloads of fat. But Misty Shaffer's dramatic 100-pound weight loss story has multiple layers that are equally amazing on their individual merits.
Misty and her husband Larry, an Army specialist, have been romantically involved since high school. There, they fell in love, attended the prom together, and would later go on to wed.
Larry's bride has always carried a lot of weight and struggled with losing weight over the years, to no avail. Even after losing 60 pounds at one time with diet pills, Misty packed the weight back on. In fact, the 25-year-old, who stands at 5-feet-6 inches tall, ballooned to 300 pounds at her heaviest. However, when her spouse was given orders to deploy in the Middle East for a year, she suddenly got an epiphany.
I just sat in bed one night and was like, 'I can do this; I need to do this.'"
That's when Misty Shaffer embarked on a journey to lose 100-pounds. But first, she had to discover a way to keep it a secret for 365 days or more. After all, they used social media to communicate and photos were part of the long-distance exchanges.
Not to worry; the quick-thinking woman thought to only show pictures of herself from the neck up on Facebook and other photo/video-sharing sites.
As sources explain, the first three months were brutal and took a lot of will-power. As a supermarket secret shopper, Misty is often bombarded with food smells wafting through the air from the hot bar. And the fried chicken aroma took an added degree of will-power.
One year later, Misty shed half of her 254-pound frame and when her husband arrived at the airport to a gathering of family and friends, even he was speechless, as seen in the video above.
He admits that he wasn't able to lift his wife before he left, but 100-pounds of weight loss made hoisting her up into the air and planting a kiss a piece of cake, no pun intended.
Misty told reporters that the secret to her slimmer figure was smaller portion sizes, cutting out of sugary foods, fried foods, and going easy on her ice cream indulgence.
The Army veteran's daughter was only 2-years-old when he left and she was moved to tears when she saw him, but that soon faded as she and her dad became reacquainted.
Misty Shaffer's loss of 100 pounds wasn't the only surprise for her returning husband. The other was the purchase of a brand new home.
He marvels at how she managed to keep her milestones under wraps. He credits her will, something he seen long before they walked down the aisle together.
What an amazing story, right?

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a vba macro soltion to the following issue:
I receive an email every day from the same email address in Microsoft Outlook. It contains some text for instance like 'Below is a table', and then it is followed by an actual table with cells in it. When this email arrives every day, I would like it to automatically take all the cells from that table, copy and paste it in a specific range in an excel worksheet.
Is this possible?
I believe someone here was experiencing the same difficulties:
Thank you so much for any help in advance.
Sorry to bump this. Can anyone help by any chance?
Any more help on this if possible guys? Would really appreciate it...

The National Obituary Archive
Back in the year 2000, the Continental Computer Corporation first opened the National Obituary Archive (NOA). Already the developer and manufacturer of the top selling software for funerals and funeral home management, this online tool was a natural next step in the evolution of the company's offerings.
The headquarters of the resource is located in Jonesboro, Arkansas with the rest of the Continental Computer Corporation. The National Obituary Archive functions as its own branch of that company, which already has several divisions dedicated to its broad range of death-care industry products in addition to its software offerings for municipal utilities and other markets.
The NOA currently contains over fifty five million individual death record entries, each indexed and searchable by visitors. People using the database may employ the tool freely in order to gain more information relating to friends, family, and other decedents whose data may be useful for learning invaluable genealogical information, piecing together family trees, or even exploring personal or familial ties.

Homemade Taco Seasoning
You guys, did you watch the BCS National Championship game on Monday? If so, then you know that the Florida State Seminoles won! If you didn't know this about me already, I am a triple alum of FSU and was so nervous about the game that I physically could not watch it. We watched the first quarter and the Noles weren't doing so good and we turned it off. Then, I kept getting updates online or through family texts. In the last few minutes of the game, both teams were scoring back and forth and it was so intense. My husband wanted to watch the last minute of the game, but I couldn't deal so I went and hid in the bathroom. Yes, I hid. Then I heard him shouting, "they scored!!". With 13 seconds left. And won! AHHH!!! I didn't feel too well yesterday to begin with, but after that game, I felt even worse. Seriously, who would think that a football game could cause such anxiety?! I woke up yesterday morning feeling like I was hungover even though I didn't drink an ounce of alcohol the night before. Such an exciting game and I'm so proud to be a Seminole!
Ok, I will stop talking about football now so that we can talk about this homemade taco seasoning. I don't know about you guys, but we go through a lot of taco seasoning in this house, particularly for making Crock Pot Ranch Chicken Tacos. But I love having it on hand for seasoning meat for any Mexican dish I make. Not only is it expensive to buy those pre-mixed packets, but they also contain other random ingredients that are not necessary! I'm willing to bet you probably already have most, if not all, of these spices in your cabinet already! It takes only a few minutes to mix this up and you can make as much or as little as you want! I'm done with those packets! Also, making my own spice mixes totally reminds me of those sand art craft kits from when I was younger, you know what I am talking about right?!
Homemade Taco Seasoning
Yield: about 2 tablespoons
Prep Time: 5 minutes
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, can adjust for heat)
- Add all spices to a bowl or container. Mix well. Store in an airtight container or spice jar.
The cayenne pepper is optional, but I added some for heat. You can leave it out entirely, add more or add less, whatever you prefer!

You can talk about FSU all you want….Go Noles! I didn't hide in the bathroom, but I certianly agree that it was a hard game to watch! I made the Whole wheat chocolate chip banana bread and it was awesome! Thanks for the recipe!
This, homemade breadcrumbs and zaatar are a total staple in my cupboard. Thanks for sharing!
This is such fun and so simple. I always get lazy when making Mexican and dragging out all of the spices. I pick two or three and call it a day even though having the full array would be much better. This is the solution!
This is so much better than the store-bought seasoning. I bet it's cheaper, too. Love it!
How much do you use in the meat?
Hey Amy, I would say 1-2 tablespoons per 1 lb. of meat. You can certainly add more or less though!
This spice mix looks perfect! Your images are so beautiful – I'm not sure how you made spices look so appetizing! How do you create photos with text on them? I've finally figured out that there is no way to do it in Lightroom, but do you create them using an online photo editor or manually on your computer?
Hi Lindsey, I use Photoshop to edit my photos and add text. I am not as familiar with Lightroom so I don't know if you can or not there. If not, you can always upload them to PicMonkey after you are done editing and add text there. It is free to use.
Thanks for replying, Stephanie! I don't have Photoshop and I finally figured out the Lightroom doesn't have the same capability (so odd). I did try PicMonkey but eventually ended up adding an application to my Mac that allows you more freedom!
Awesome thanks for the recipe quite handy when you are snowbound
This is the second time I've made a batch….your recipe is now my "go to" taco seasoning! I'll never buy the pouches again! Thaks~
I'm so glad, Ann! I hope you are doing well! :)

The organizers of the event at AIGA took great lengths to ensure that brewers and artists across the area were able to be involved in this first ever collaboration. At the initial Beer & Branding event on July 7th, local designers were paired with home brewers to design a branding package for a beer based on the secret ingredient, basil.
Beer was judged on August 9th at NoDa Brewing Company, by impartial judges in a people's choice style judging. Thai Me Up Honey, a 10.5% honey basil ale brewed with Thai basil and Thai chilies, brewed by Stephen Williams, was chosen as the winning beer, and was also honored as this week's NoDable Series feature. This sweet and spicy ale was awesome!
Last nights' showcase event also featured the work by Queen City designers, who worked behind the scenes with brewers to create branding packages specific to the beers the brewers concocted. AIGA organizers would like to thank all of the designers and brewers who participated and made both events such a success. Make sure to check out the slide show of all the entries.

According to The Mayo Clinic the incidence of non-medical professionals who are now caregivers exceeds 65 million Americans. Generally the care is provided to a loved one in need, including a spouse, parent, sibling, or disabled child. According to Novak (2013), most caregivers are of the "sandwich generation"; have a living parent age 65 or greater, are raising a child in the home who is 18 or younger, and/or are financially supporting a grown child. More than 60% of caregivers have part or full-time jobs in addition to their caregiving responsibilities. At least one in six caregivers reports a decline in their personal health after taking on their caregiver duties and two of five caregivers report financial difficulties (Novak, 2013).
Although caring for a loved one in need has many rewards and is done willingly, caregiver stress, exhaustion, and illness can occur. Caregiver stress is a combination of emotional and physical strain and can lead to negative outcomes for the caregiver as well as the patient.
Symptoms of Caregiver Stress
Mayo Clinic notes common symptoms of caregiver stress as:
- Feeling tired most of the time
- Feeling overwhelmed and irritable
- Sleeping too much or too little
- Gaining or losing a lot of weight
- Losing interest in activities you used to enjoy
Other subtle symptoms of caregiver stress include feelings of guilt, loneliness, frustration, and anger. Ongoing stress, over time, may lead to caregiver depression and health problems including heart disease and diabetes.
Reduce Caregiver Stress
The mayo Clinic offers the following suggestions as strategies to reduce caregiver stress:
- Accept help
- Focus on what amount of care you are able to provide
- Get connected
- Join a support group
- Seek social support
- Set personal health goals including adequate sleep and proper nutrition
- See your doctor
- Learn to delegate
- Keep information flowing
Respite care, a temporary care setting outside of the home, is also available in many communities. Using adult day care centers, day hospitals, and short-term nursing home facilities will also provide needed breaks for caregivers.
At The Botsford Cancer Center there are several services geared to support caregivers including a beautiful healing garden, support groups where we partner with Gilda's Club, and individual counseling as needed. We understand that caregivers provide an invaluable service to our common patients and definitely impact outcomes.
Tips and Resources
Many good tips and resource materials are available electronically including:
- Administration on Aging
– National Family Caregiver Support Program
- Caregiver Action Network
- Caregiver Self-Assessment Tool
This questionnaire is available in English and Spanish and can be used by physicians to identify if the caregiver needs supportive services. Print out and bring to your physician.
- Family Caregiver Alliance
- Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services

Date Night Movie Reviews
User reviews on Date Night
I think its a good movie.Not all press about Christianity have to be about Westboro Bigots or Catholic clergy going far beyond the pale of acceptable behavior. In a more optimistic vein, the Letters to God movie is debuting in theaters.
I'd give it a two, but the funny lines by Tina Fey and Steve Carrel pulled it up to solid mediocrity. It's dominated by the borish action genre that it is. Fey and Carrel give it the face of a comedy, but sadly they were just used for their popularity. The film should have run with Sarah Palin and the ex-Alaskan 1st dude, then all of the guns and speeding around would have mad sense.
Carrell and Fey. It's like getting Magic and Bird on the same team. These two titans of NBC comedy coming together is cause for equal parts celebration and fear. Celebration because, hey, they're both hilarious and getting to see them onscreen together has a lot of promise. Fear because they're being directed by Shawn Levy, who is a part of my Hack Pack (directors with absolutely no style of their own who play everything with no subtlety for the broadest audience). Luckily, not even Levy can mess with the brilliance of Carrell and Fey in Date Night, a movie that is made a lot more fun by its stars
It's a simple enough premise: boring suburban couple looking for a little fun in the big city find themselves caught in a case of mistaken identity with mobsters and have to run for their lives. Movies like these usually live and die for me with their ability to live in the real world. Most of the time, the actors ham and mug their way through these movies, which leaves me with the sense that I'm watching actors, not actual characters. I expected this with Levy directing, and there were times when the chases and bombast threatened to pull me out of the film.
Thank heaven for Carrell and Fey, both of whom I've respected on their respective television shows. Neither relies on gimmicks to be absolutely hilarious. They both know that being true to their characters, and honest, is what makes them funny. Their honesty is what makes the craziness that ensues around them (which includes the "wacky" characters they run into, though Mark Wahlberg is surprisingly good). The two leads also have a natural chemistry that, at times, I forgot I was watching two of the most popular sitcom stars on the planet and believed they were an actual couple. It's a testament to their talent that this fairly average film can become much more than that.

About Soloing:
I get the feeling that it takes longer for a student to solo at John Wayne because it is such a busy and complex airport. Many students learn first at a non-towered airport, or a towered airport in class D airspace, or one that doesn't include commercial airline traffic. At John Wayne, the runways are technically too close together, and it can be a challenge landing amongst the jet traffic. I am starting to get the hang of it, and am feeling more and more comfortable each time that I go up. When I am not flying, the most productive thing for me to do is to practice and memorize procedures in my head and rehearse them while sitting in a chair as if I were flying. I also practice at the same airport in the same way on the computerized flight simulator game which does help.
Practice Maneuvers:
In terms of maneuvers, I find doing stalls, and engine out practice the most fun and exciting. Steep turns (turns made with at least 45 degrees of bank) are demanding and require precision to correctly execute, therefore they are not my favorite. Altitude wise, we have done just about everything at or below 3,000 feet MSL. The John Wayne airport is only 56′ above sea level, so we get decent aircraft performance. I really like flying from the practice area back into the traffic pattern and landing. Touch and goes are also really fun because landing and taking off are two of the most exciting parts of learning to fly, and I get to do both of those a bunch!
Aviation Weather:
I'm also studying how to decipher the weather reports. Weather can be complex, but then for pilots it is increasingly complex because it is disseminated in an extremely esoteric coded, and abbreviated format. Reading and interpreting it seems like a skill just short of learning morse code. I am getting in the habit of checking the weather report called a METAR two to three times a week and comparing that report to what I see outside my window to practice identifying how those codes describe clouds, wind, rain, ceiling, sunshine, smog, mist, fog and everything else. When I think about it, there are a lot of different types of weather.
So far sponsors have contributed over $1000 in either money or materials to help me reach my goal of getting my private pilot's license! Thanks very much to them! I was hoping to solo before the end of 2010, but it looks like that will likely come next year unless someone sponsors my next lesson. 😎

Pilot who participated in the 2003 flight over Auschwitz held in honor Holocaust victims and displaying national resilience, speaks of the experience
In 2003, the IAF organized a flight over the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps in Poland in tribute to those six million Jews who died in the Holocaust. Three F-15 planes participated in the flyover, taking six crewmembers whose relatives are survivors of the Holocaust.
"Two months before I heard about the flyover, my sisters suggested I travel with them to Poland on journey to discover our roots. I refused because I didn't think that was the appropriate way to pay my respects to our ancestors. As soon as I heard about the flyover, I knew instantly that was the way I would take this journey," said Brig. Gen. (res.) Avi Maor, a former commander of Ramon Airbase.
"I decided that this was the most appropriate way, because it represents the state of Israel and the Jewish people in a way that takes on a different meaning, not just 'what was done to us,' but a national strength, presenting Israel as being a strong country with a strong army," said Gen. Maor.
"The day of the flight was crazy," he recalled. "In the days before, the weather was pleasant and the visibility was good, and of course for the day of the flyover the skies clouded over. There was a lot of rain and it was freezing cold, jeopardizing the flight. In the briefing the morning before our flight, we sat shivering in the cold. To be honest, I don't think those tremors came from the cold, but from the excitement for what we were about to do," said Gen. Maor.
"From the moment of take-off it was all very technical, like every flight. Only a year later, after we all met up, did we discover that we all experienced the same phenomenon as soon as we moved over Auschwitz. We were in tandem aircrafts, and usually we talk a lot during the flight. The same second, we all fell silent. A silence so loud, as if something heavy had fallen on the air and we all understood exactly the magnitude of what we were doing."
Gen. Maor held several impressive positions in the Air Force. Two weeks ago, Gen. Maor finished his flight duty period and said that "when you get to this moment you look back at the flights you have, and examine those more successful and which those less." He added that "during my service I flew hundreds of flight hours, I fought and shot down MiGs in combat, but today, I have no doubt that the flyover Auschwitz was the most significant and successful flight of my life."
For the flyover, the planes passed the camp in an arrowhead, clearly visible from the ground, where 200 soldiers from the "Witnesses in Uniform" delegation stood in formation. During the flight, the general read the following sentence to his companions, which has become a symbol of the entire flyover: "We, Israeli Air Force pilots, in the skies above this camp of horrors, rose from the ashes of millions of victims. We carry their silent cries, salute their heroism and promise to be a shield for the Jewish people and their country, Israel."

Miami Dolphins: Ryan Baker is "The Amoeba"
Tony Sparano loves grinders.
Oh, sure, the Miami Dolphins coach is appreciative of those with great natural talent. Knows he needs them to put together a winning product at the highest level of football on the planet.
However, perhaps in a nod to his own self-made background, you can just tell when Sparano has taken a particular liking to a player.
Patrick Cobbs had that kind of impact on him in 2008, Sparano's first year with the Dolphins. Last year it seemed to be Nate Garner who really grew on the no-nonsense coach. Lousaka Polite, too.
This year? I'm getting a strong sense that breakthrough grinder is Ryan Baker, a.k.a. "The Amoeba."
The second-year defensive lineman from Purdue has been active for the past six games, and each week his play count rises a little bit more. Not coincidentally, so does Sparano's trust in him.
"He's an amoeba," Sparano said this week, chuckling a bit when I asked him about Baker's versatility. "He's got no bones in his body and kind of slinks around out there a little bit and bounces off of blocks and does all those things."
Hard to block an amoeba, right?
"I believe that's a one-celled [organism]," Sparano said.
Last Sunday at Cincinnati, Baker saw a season-high 24 plays of action in all, 15 on base defense and another nine on kickoff returns and placekicks. According to the data at Pro Football Focus, it was Baker's most effective game of the year in terms of beating blocks and causing havoc.
On the Bengals' final drive, it was Baker, playing left end for a couple of snaps, who leaped up and batted down Carson Palmer's second-down pass from the Miami 37. Somehow Baker's work didn't show up in the final stats, but the Dolphins' PR staff is lobbying to make sure Baker receives proper credit.
From his own coach, Baker has already built up plenty of equity. Look for him to remain in the defensive line rotation Kacy Rodgers and Sparano like to keep rolling, especially in light of the season-ending injury to first-rounder Jared Odrick; Odrick's injury is what brought Baker off the practice squad this year after he saw time in a handful of late-season games in 2009.
At Cincinnati, Baker's 15 snaps of defense were split almost evenly between right end, nose tackle and left end. He's also the left wing on Dan Carpenter's numerous placekicking opportunities, replacing Lydon Murtha the past two games after Murtha made a couple of bad mistakes against New England and Green Bay.
"He's kind of in the right place at the right time," Sparano said of Baker. "He's the guy that comes around on the twist when the quarterback steps out and he kind of gets his hands on the quarterback. His plays are valuable, but I'll tell you what I love about this guy. We're talking about guys [being] satisfied, not satisfied with how many touchdowns, any of those things and this guy's dying to go back there on kickoff return and be in the wedge. That's what he wants to do."
Sparano shook his head in admiration.
"Now, whatever job you give to Ryan Baker, he's going to do it 200 percent," the coach continued. "You know, 'This is what I got out of this guy.' That's pretty comforting. It's just like knowing if I get down there in whatever the area is, I got this kicker [Dan Carpenter] over there that has a good chance to do it or this fullback [Lousaka Polite] that does it exactly the way you want him to do it.
"That's pretty important in that role, and that role is critical because [Baker] is not out there getting lathered up. He's got to go in, take two plays and come off."
As for the left-wing work Baker has been doing — and Carpenter is 10 for 10 with the 300-pound Amoeba in the role — Sparano appreciates that just as much as the base-defense snaps.
Baker is typically asked to block/occupy/delay as many as three rushers at a time. It's pretty much an impossible task, like holding back a flashflood, and he admits it's almost a given he will end up on his backside at the end of each play. Ideally, this happens just after Carpenter's kick has safely launched.
Tony McDaniel, another Sparano favorite, has the same job on the right side.
"Die a slow death,' Baker said. "That's what you're trying to do in that role."
And, of course, the Dolphins know all too well (thanks to Patrick Chung victimizing Murtha in Week 4) how important that wingman's role is.
"That's already hurt us," Sparano said. "It's a really tough job. I can recall a situation when I was in Dallas. We ended up playing the Redskins and we drive the ball down in a two-minute situation and we have a field goal left and the game is tied at the time and we have a field goal and we're going to kick it with two seconds left on the clock … to win the game. God rest his soul, Sean Taylor blocks the thing. Comes right in there and blocks it, same kind of scenario [as Chung's block].
"Two guys ran over the guy at the wing out there. [Taylor] slinks his body through there like he does so good and the guy ends up blocking it, picking it up and running it back. That tells you when you put somebody over there and they're in that role, you need to be able to count on them in that role. That's an important role. It's kind of like the snapper. Nobody knows about it until all of a sudden something goes wrong."
With the Dolphins' Amoeba engulfing new challenges each week, things keep going right in the hidden parts of the game.

Why Morrisville?
"I chose Morrisville because my visit to Morrisville during my senior year of high school convinced me that it seemed like the right place for me. My soccer coach managed to get the Morrisville head coach, at the time, to try me out and practice with the team. Not only were the team and the captains so inviting, but walking around campus and seeing such a different environment other than the city life convinced me that a change of scenery was what I needed."

Last month marked the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd's iconic album, The Dark Side of the Moon. Originally released in March 1973, Dark Side is one of the most critically acclaimed and best selling albums of all time.
To celebrate 40 years of Dark Side, HIGH TIMES is giving away an epic prize package to one lucky Floyd fan.
Enter now to win The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion Box Set, a six-disc gem that includes the remastered album (from 2011), a live performance of Dark Side (Wembley 1974), a multitude of previously unreleased tracks, and Blu-ray and DVD discs featuring rare concert footage.
The Immersion Box Set also contains a photo book, an exclusive art print, a replica Dark Side tour ticket and backstage pass, and exclusive special collectors' items.
That's enough to make any Dark Side fan salivate. But that's not all. The contest winner will also receive a special edition water bottle and lighter (pictured below).
Long after its release, The Dark Side of the Moon became renowned for its connection to the film The Wizard of Oz. The band has always denied any intention for the album to synchronize with the movie, however the connection is uncanny – and very, very cool.
That connection got us wondering – if you could pick any album to synch up with any film, what would that combination be?
So, to win the Dark Side giveaway, follow HIGH TIMES Presents Jen's Music Stash and tweet what album you'd like to synch to what movie. We'll pick our favorite combination on April 30.
The contest is open to US residents age 18+. Listen to episode 7 of The Stash for more information (beginning at 34:30).

Small Group Counseling
Groups are offered throughout the school year as determined by need.
Small group counseling is one of the direct services available as part of the comprehensive school counseling program. Small group counseling is available to students in kindergarten through grade 5.
and/or social skills groups are offered at all grade levels. Other group topics include
resiliency and study skills
(attention and organization),
handling difficult emotions
(anxiety/grief/anger/stress), and
impulse control
. Counseling is offered in a small group for students expressing difficulties dealing with relationships, personal concerns, or normal developmental tasks. Counseling helps students identify problems, causes, alternative and possible consequences so they can develop coping skills and take appropriate action. Depending on the topic, a variety of techniques and materials are used including books, short videos, art materials, role play, games, and suggestions for practice between sessions. Written parental permission is obtained for group counseling.
School counseling groups are short-term and typically last 4 - 10 sessions. Most of the groups for the older students are conducted during lunch to minimize loss of instructional time.
We believe group
counseling can benefit
most students
. All kindergarten students are invited to be in a 3/4 session "Lunch Bunch." Any student who did not pass an SOL test is encouraged to participate in a Resiliency group. All 5th graders are invited to be in a social/emotional "Books and Bag Lunch" group.
During the 2014-15 school year the counselors led 52 different groups (466 sessions); 285 students (40% of the student body) participated in a small group with one of the counselors.

CBS News released their first ever poll to show nationwide majority support for legalization. Fifty-one percent of those surveyed by CBS said the use of marijuana should be legal, up from 45% who supported legalization in their poll last April. In October of 2011, CBS reported 51% in support of prohibition.
CBS's poll also showed demographic trends mirrored in recent polls by Pew and Gallup. The only age group that still has majority support for maintaining prohibition is age 65 and older. There still remains an 11-point gender gap, with 57% of men in support of legalization and only 46% of women. Republicans and conservatives still support prohibition at 61%.
Medical marijuana continues to enjoy widespread public support, with CBS reporting 86% of the nation believes doctors should be able to prescribe marijuana for medical use. However, only one third (34%) of Americans believe medical marijuana is currently being used for serious medical illnesses. Despite that, three out of four (77%) of the people who think medical marijuana is being used for other purposes still support the right of doctors to prescribe medical marijuana.
When asked about deciding the legality of marijuana, 62% of Americans believe that should be left up to the individual states to decide. Republicans overwhelmingly agree (72%) that marijuana legalization is a states' rights issue, while 40% of Democrats still believe the federal government ought to determine the issue and 56% support states making the decision.
CBS News's poll is the thirteenth poll in the past five years to show majority support for marijuana legalization.

New Arrivals
This is a re-edition of the Sewills Professional Diver sold in the 1990s, made by the same manufacturers but with some important improvements.
The watch is now water resistant ot 300 metres/1000 feet (original was 200 metres), fitted with an oyster-style bracelet with security clasp and diver's extension instead of the original dress watch style bracelet and now sports a sapphire crystal, replacing the original mineral glass.
The PRS-44 has been undergoing rigorous testing on location at The Red Sea in Egypt for the past 2 weeks and the photographs below are actual underwater photographs courtesy of http://www.ralphyimages.com/ , who own copyright of these images.
The Sewills Professional Diver is guaranteed for two years and will be supplied in a Sewills "piano black" gloss lacquered wooden box.
Sewills Professional Diver PRS-44 BLUE Dial - £525.00
Sewills Professional Diver PRS-44 BLACK Dial - £525.00
Inspired by the design of vintage motor cycle instruments with black body and chromed bezel (the watch has a polished stainless steel bezel), this watch captures the look of a speedometer whilst still retaining clear functionality as a watch. Several designs were produced before deciding to go with this one and the full design discussion can be seen here
Like all Time Factors watches all of the components used are manufactured specifically for this watch (except for the movement), stock components are not used.
The first 45 pieces are fitted with the ETA2836-2 movement and thereafter with a new old stock ETA2830 movement.
Supplied in a 2-watch zipper travel case with 24 months guarantee.
Smiths "Black Shadow" PRS-38 - £445.00
Time Factors is proud to announce the launch of the first new watch to bear the Sewills name in 15 years. The Sewills "Ferreira" has been more than two years in the design, manufacture and movement modification to produce a watch of the highest quality.
The Portuguese shipping company Joaquim Antunes Ferreira purchased the clipper from Jock Willis in 1895 for £1250 and renamed it "Ferreira" after the name of the company. The ship was known by the crew as "Pequena camisola", meaning "little shirt" which was a straight translation from the Scottish "Cutty Sark".
The "Cutty Sark" was commissioned by shipping magnate John "Jock" Willis and the contract for construction was signed on 1 February 1869 with shipbuilding company Scott and Linton from Dumbarton. The price was £17 per ton up to a maximum weight of 950 tons. The ship was designed by Hercules Linton, who was only 32 years old when he designed the clipper.
Despite running out of money during the construction, additional funds were raised and the "Cutty Sark" was launched on 22nd November 1869.
The ship was named after Cutty-sark, the nickname of the witch Nannie Dee in Robert Burns' 1791 poem Tam o' Shanter. The ship's figurehead, the original carved by Robert Hellyer of Blackwall, is a stark white carving of a bare-breasted Nannie Dee with long black hair holding a grey horse's tail in her hand. In the poem she wore a linen sark (Scots: a short chemise or undergarment), that she had been given as a child, which explains why it was cutty, or in other words far too short. The erotic sight of her dancing in such a short undergarment caused Tam to cry out "Weel done, Cutty-sark", which subsequently became a well known catchphrase. Originally, carvings by Hellyer of the other scantily clad witches followed behind the figurehead along the bow, but these were removed by Willis in deference to 'good taste'.
The ship traded various cargoes between Portugal, Rio de Janeiro, New Orleans, Mozambique, Angola, and Britain. In May 1916 she was dismasted off the Cape of Good Hope because of the rolling of the ship in bad weather and had to be towed into Table Bay off Cape Town. Because of World War I, it was impossible to obtain suitable materials to replace the masts so she was re-rigged over 18 months to a barquentine sail arrangement.
In 1922 Ferreira was the last clipper operating anywhere in the world. Caught in a storm in the English Channel she put into Falmouth harbour where she was spotted by retired windjammer captain Wilfred Dowman, of Trevissome House, Flushing, Cornwall, who was then operating the training ship Lady of Avenel. The ship returned to Lisbon, where she was sold to new owners and renamed Maria do Amparo. However, Dowman persevered in his determination to buy the ship, which he did for £3,750 and she was returned to Falmouth harbour. The rigging was restored to an approximation of the original arrangement and the ship was used as a cadet training ship. As a historic survivor, the ship was opened to the public and visitors would be rowed out to inspect her. Dowman died in 1936 and the ship was sold to the Incorporated Thames Nautical Training College, HMS Worcester at Greenhithe, leaving Falmouth for her last journey under sail in 1938. The ship was crewed by cadets, 15-year-old Robert Wyld steering the ship during the voyage.[26] Ian Bryce, DSC, the last surviving crew member on the historic journey from Falmouth to the Thames died, aged 89, on 11 December 2011.
The Ferreira's Sewills ship's chronometer, registered number 4608, is now in The National Maritime Museum.
This is a limited edition of just 100 pieces and because of the time taken to modify the movements, it is unlikely that this watch will ever be available again.
The Sewills Ferreira is guaranteed for two years and will be supplied in a "piano black" gloss lacquered wooden box.

Most people will have heard of the "Spitfire" aircraft from World War 2 but the "Seafire" is rarely mentioned. The Supermarine Seafire was a naval version of the Supermarine Spitfire adapted for operation from aircraft carriers. The name "Seafire" was arrived at by abbreviating the longer name "Sea Spitfire".
Originally, the Seafire was still a fixed wing aircraft like the Spitfire but with the introduction of the Seafire F MkIII, manually folding wings were added to make deployment on aircraft carriers easier.
The PRS-37 has been designed with an extremely legible dial and hands, in the style of aircraft instruments. The case is satin finished black PVD.
The movement used in the PRS-37 is the ISA9500-1010 quartz movement. This movement has the appearance of a mechanical movement inasmuch as the seconds hand "ticks" 4 times a second. Setting the time is not like a conventional quartz movement and this video demonstrates how to set the time.

Earlier this year I was contacted by the Italian designer Giovanni Moro who said he had an idea for a new watch and he sent me some design pictures. I initially thought it was interesting but not for me. Over the next few weeks I kept returning to the pictures and began to like it more and more which led me to discussing the watch with the designer and reaching an agreement whereby I could licence his design and manufacture the watch under my own brand name.
Some changes were made to the original specifications which made it more manufacturing friendly and a new movement was sourced as the original movement was quite small and more suited to a women's watch. This is the original concept:
When the decision was made to proceed with the watch, an application was submitted to the Ministry of Defence for a NATO Stock Number (NSN). The application was successful and it was allocated 6645-99-994-7232.
Smiths NATO Watch PRS-40 - £195.00
This is the sister watch to the cushion cased PRS-36 below. Based on an original 1950s design, this watch is sutable for either a man or a woman.
Smiths Vintage PRS-35 - £395.00
I've received many requests for a smaller watch in the vintage style and this style has always been a personal favourite. A clean and simple watch which does nothing more than tell the time and slim enough to slip under any cuff, it can be worn for casual or formal occasions.
Although the case measures only 37mm across, excluding the crown), it wears more like a 40mm watch because of the square shape but is only 10.5mm thick to the top of the bombé sapphire crystal.
Smiths Vintage Cushion Case PRS-36 - £395.00
The Precista Royal Navy diver is arguably the rarest of all British issued dive watches, being issued in 1981 and 1982 only. The stock number is 0552/923-7697 which curiously, was also the number used on Rolex and CWC issued divers around this time. I have seen only two examples offered for sale in the last 12 months and both commanded a price in excess of £2,000. Hardly Milsub prices but nonetheless, higher than anyone would have thought possible a few years ago.
Apart from the asymmetrical case, the most distinctive feature of this model is the hands; the hands have two familiar names, one of them is "snake head" hands and you'll have to use Google for the other name ;-)
This re-edition uses the same ETA movement as the original, the ETA2783 25 jewel automatic. These are new old stock movements which have been cleaned, lubricated and adjusted in August 2013. The luminous is the same "vintage lume" used on the dials of the Precista PRS-20 California dial.
The PRS-82 is guaranteed for 2 years.
Precista Royal Navy Diver PRS-82 - £395.00
This watch was conceived during a forum discussion from June 2008. Several designs were put forward before finally deciding on this one and during the discussion it was suggested that this shouldbe a bronze watch. Had it been possible to source the correct grade of bronze at the time, the PRS-30 woujld have been one of the first bronze watches available. In the event, sourcing a (comparatively) small quantity of bronze proved difficult until a supplier who was prepared to supply it in kilos, rather than tonnes, was located in Switzerland.
One of the main appeals of bronze watches is the way in which the case slowly oxidises and changes colour to a rich chocolate brown, in the same way as bronze works of art patinate. Of course the natural bronze colour can be maintained if preferred by gentle polishing or wiping with a mildly acidic liquid (Coca-Cola is recommended by some). Patination will not initially be uniform across the entire case although this can be accelerated by using any of the methods to be found by conducting a "Google" search.
The thumbnails below show some of the design suggestions posted during the discussions. Thanks to Chris Parker for his design shown on the right, the design which went forward for production.
The watch has a 33mm visible dial, which is of two-layer sandwich construction with a dark brown/charcoal dial and SuperLuminova C3 coating on the under-dial showing through the numbers and indices cut-outs. The domed sapphire crystal is 2.2mm thick and has anti-relective coating to the underside. The 12-pointed star crown (unique to this watch) measures 4.5mm high by 7mm across and is signed with the Precista "P" ambigram. The hands are black frame with SuperLuminova C3 filled tips; the end of the seconds hand is also luminous coated.
The PRS-30 bronze watch is packed in a Peli case and comes with two hand-made leather straps, one signed bronze buckle and is guaranteed for 2 years.
Please make a note in the "Comments" box on the order whether you want the black or brown strap fitting to the watch.
Precista Bronze Watch PRS-30 - £755.00
This watch pays homage to a design which wil be instantly recognised by the majority of watch aficionados world-wide. If you are lucky enough to own an original, chances are you rarely wear it for fear of damaging it even though it's your favourite watch. It's surprising that this design first appeared 45 years ago and whilst it may be considered unusual or even "quirky", it looks just as modern today as it did then.
As with all Time Factors homages, there are a few improvements:
Supplied in a Peli case with "waffle strap, watch leaflet and 24 months guarantee.
Due to popular demand the California dial version of the Precista "Italian" is now available . This is not a limited edition.
The watch has a wonderfully large 37.4mm visible dial, which is of two-layer sandwich construction with a semi-matte black dial and vintage lume (Super Luminova base) coating on the under-dial showing through the numbers and indices cut-outs. The domed sapphire crystal is1.5mm thick and has anti-relective coating to the underside. The diamond-shape crown measures 5mm high by 8mm across and is signed with the Precista "P". The hands are gilt frame with vintage lume (Super Luminova base) filling.
The Italian is guaranteed for two years.
Precista Italian California Dial - PRS-20C - £395.00
If you've been following Time Factors watches since the beginning, this one will be familiar to you. It first hit the drawing board in 2003 but techical problems delayed it for so long it was put back on the shelf until 2009, when the design and revised specification were given to another company, who overcame the original difficulties and produced what is a superb watch. At least one manufacturer boasts that it (only) takes a year to make their watches ;-).
It would have been easy enough to make the watch without the rotating bezel with pointer under the crystal but this is such an important part of the watch that I wasn't prepared to omit this important feature. The watches to which the PRS-9 pay homage had little or no water resistance, arguably because if you need water resistance in an aircraft, your watch is the least of your worries. Because the crystal rotates with the bezel, it was difficult to achieve any water resistance at all and the fact that the PRS-9 is water resistant to 30 metres is no small design achievement.
The PRS-9 is fitted with a new old stock AS1130 movement, one of the calibres popularly known as a "Wehrmacht" movement. Swiss made with 17 jewels, running at 18,000 BPH and with a power reserve of 41 hours. All movements have been stripped, cleaned, inspected, oiled and regulated in 2012.
The strap supplied with the PRS-9 is a custom strap made in a style contemporary with those which would have been fitted in 1938. The original straps would have been cut-edge thick leather but the strap on the PRS-9 has been made from soft glove leather supplied by Pittards tannery in Somerset, England. Pittards was founded in 1826, you can read more of their history here . A roller buckle is fitted, as is a fixed metal keeper plus a floating leather keeper and screwed "rivets". All steel hardware has been bronzed (hardware on the original straps would have been painted).
This watch is made in Germany.
Supplied on a custom Pittards leather strap, in Aero Leather pouch and wooden box, with 24 months guarantee.
Almost everyone is familiar with the name of one of the watches which was worn by Hillary and Tensing when they reached the summit of Everest in 1953 but fewer people realise that the other watch was a Smiths, as shown in the 1953 advert below.
Of course, the Smiths of 2011 looks nothing like the Smiths of 1953 but it is a reminder that a British watch accompanied Sir Edmund Hillary on that historic climb.
The PRS-25 is the first Time Factors watch to use the new Miyota 9015 automatic movement. Miyota is a division of Citizen, the largest manufacturer of movements in the world and the 9015 has been compared most favourably with the ETA2892-2.
Like all Time Factors watches, the case has been designed and manufactured from scratch; stock cases are not used.
The hi-dome acrylic crystal is perfectly shaped and 2.5mm thick; the solid stainless steel bracelet tapers from 22mm to 20mm at the clasp and has half links to ensure adjustment for a perfect fit.
Supplied in a single-watch travelling case with 24 months guarantee.
Smiths Everest automatic wristwatch PRS-25 - £245.00

Blogger David Brock is a Senior Research Fellow at CHF's Center for Contemporary History and Policy.
December 20, 2010 | David C. Brock
One of the largest instrumentation firms on the planet, Life Technologies, made a splash recently with its announcement of the first commercial DNA sequencer to employ semiconductor sequencing. Much of the excitement around the Life Technologies announcement, and semiconductor sequencing in general, is the tremendous speed of the approach, and the relatively low cost of the instrument itself. The Ion Personal Genome Machine is faster than the current second generation—and the emerging third generation—DNA sequencers, completing a run in just two hours. At $50,000, the cost of the instrument is also an order of magnitude cheaper than these other systems.
The provocatively named Ion Personal Genome Machine relies on proprietary silicon microchips. These chips are made using conventional semiconductor technology, and contain large arrays of pH sensors underneath a matching array of micro-wells. The chips detect changes in pH to provide sequence data. Semiconductor sequencing, then, is DNA sequencing in an entirely new technological mode: electrochemical detection, rather than optical observation.
However, there are important limitations of the current semiconductor sequencer as compared to its newer optical rivals: it produces a significantly lower amount of sequence data per run, can only sequence relatively short segments of DNA, and, because a new chip must be used for each run, the cost per sequenced base pair is actually higher. Nevertheless, Life Technologies and others hope that semiconductor sequencing will lead to Moore's Law-like increases in functionality and decreases in cost. Commercialization of semiconductor sequencing could lead to a segmentation of the sequencing market, with low-system-cost machines like that from Life Technologies used primarily for diagnostic work.
Jonathan Rothberg, who developed the Ion Personal Genome Machine, is fond of describing semiconductor sequencing as "Watson meets Moore," that is James Watson of double helix fame, and Gordon Moore of Moore's Law fame. Rothberg's phrase points out that semiconductor sequencing is the latest in a long series of virtuous circles of innovation produced by the intersection of chemistry with electronics.

Titan refutes group's claim on wetlands impact
Published: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 6:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, February 8, 2013 at 6:43 p.m.
NEW HANOVER COUNTY | A spokesman for a proposed Titan America cement plant is refuting a claim by the Southern Environmental Law Center that the Cape Fear River basin landed on an endangered places list because of the potential effects of the facility.
In a statement issued Friday, Bob Odom, general manager for Carolinas Cement, called the SELC assertion "erroneous and not based on facts."
"Per state regulations, Carolinas Cement will mitigate all disturbed wetlands at a greater ratio than the amount of wetlands impacted," Odom said. "The net gain is more and better wetlands than currently exist at the site."
Furthermore, Odom said, Titan will preserve roughly 300 acres of high-quality wetlands along the Northeast Cape Fear River. Most of the wetlands impacted by the proposed plant are managed pine plantation, "which, while technically wetlands, have much lower functionality than typical wetlands," he said.
Titan's interaction with federally protected wetlands will be overseen and managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers via an environmental impact statement, a document that's yet to be completed.
"The Corps' EIS has not been completed, so the SELC is making biased assumptions about Carolinas Cement Co.'s wetlands impact that are not based on true science," Odom said.

Foxy Brown, Toni Braxton in Serious Tax Trouble
Foxy is being sued by the IRS for owing $641,558 in federal taxes to the state of New York. In June, the IRS filed tax lien documents against Foxy for missing tax payments from 2003 to 2006.
The Brooklyn MC was also the center of a recent prison scandal which caused several top corrections officials to resign, amidst allegations that inmates like herself received better treatment than the general population.
No stranger to financial trouble, Braxton and husband Keri Lewis have been hit with lien documents by the state of California, and are accused of owing $79,315 in back taxes. Braxton filed for bankruptcy protection in 1998, owing over $1 million, despite having sold over 15 million albums worldwide, grossing well over $170 million.

We've downed plenty of green juices and wheatgrass shots in our time, but our new healthy beverage of choice is this smooth tea. It rids your body of pent-up toxins, boosting your energy while lowering your stress levels. We love that the brew tastes earthy, not bitter, and is laced with the exotic flavor of lemongrass. This 24-pack comes with beautiful, individually sealed muslin bags, which will stay fresh for ages.
I tried the detox tea from a sample and was so pleasantly surprised at how lovely and delicious this tea is. The muslin bags are such a beautiful way of presenting the tea. I highly recommend this and all their teas. I buy the Mango flavor for a few friends and they love it!!5
This tea has a hefty pricetag, but they look pretty packaged and i gave them a shot. I'm not sure why its called a detox tea. The ingredients only say green tea and lemon grass. But it has a nice subtle flavor, the tea bags are good quality, not paper. All in all, Not sure if its worth the hefty price compared to others I've tried.4

CLAIM: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt Had "Awkward Encounter" at Airport
"There is nothing worse than running into an ex – and that's just what happened with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt Feb. 23 at LAX!" exclaims HollywoodLife.
They really ran into each other?!
Uh… NO.
Though the site first reports "that's just what happened," the bad blog then contradicts itself in the next line by saying, "The formerly betrothed pair almost bumped into one another when Brad was getting off and Jen was getting on – to planes that is."
Actually, that sentence is also incorrect. Pitt was getting on a flight, and 30 minutes later Aniston was getting off a plane from France.
Regardless, did or didn't they have an "awkward encounter," as claimed in the story's headline?
Gossip Cop can confirm that while they were both at the airport on the same day, they did NOT run into each other.
The only thing that's "awkward" here is HollywoodLife's reporting.

Hey Juan, how are you doing?
Hey George, how are you doing?
without having to type the same text twice, if not more.
What I have found so far:
- Group SMS: a far from finished and polished App.
- Mass Text Personalizer: a relatively finished but not polished app. It is very buggy indeed.
Why I need it: When mass messages are personalized, there is a bigger chance of people replying back.
I need you to: Give me other alternatives to these apps... if there are... better ones.

I'm studding special relativity and there is a famous example where there is a moving train witch has a light source on its floor and a mirror attached to its roof.
an observer in the train sees a pulse of light leaves the source vertically and goes to the mirror and comes back to the source.
the example says that an observer on the earth should see the path of light as a triangle like figure "b" in this image:
but I don't understand why?! If someone shoot a ball like this, it's logic because the ball will have an extra velocity in the direction of x-axis but here we know that the pulse is going upward with the velocity c, so if the observer on the earth see the light is going right with the train , it should have an extra velocity Vx in the direction of x, and so the total velocity will be equal to (c^2 + Vx ^2)^(1/2) witch is larger than c.
it will be solved with saying that the light will go on the L direction (shown in the figure) with the total c velocity, but how we know that the observer on the earth should see this? why not this : " the light goes upward with the velocity c and so wont come back to the light source in the train. "

Over the weekend, I had a chance to speak with an old friend of mine from school, and we discussed issues from back in the school days till present. I was surprised at how her mindset has changed so drastically from being an honor student with a masters in business too being unemployed. She stated that she moved away and started working for corporate for 6 years and after 6 years the company stated that she wasn't needed. She said that she was always on time,attendance was great, and she did her job, but later found out that they gave her position to someone who had just completed college and that they were looking for someone fresh and energetic. They told her that over the years her performance was not being fulfilled within company standards and this has really taken a toll on her mentally! Since then she has basically given up on going any further to accomplish her goals. This is something that happens each and everyday in our society. You give your all to a company and sometimes it just isn't enough but when it comes down to that, what do you do? You go forth with greater expectations,start working on becoming your own corporate,small business,CEO and etc. The same skills you gave to your job put them in motion for your own benefits I strongly believe the best accomplishment you can have is when you invest in yourself even if you fail at least you can say I tried then not doing it at all. I understand the fear of it by jumping out on your own, but instead of having that fear in your heart have commitment to succeed within, trust me it goes a long way. Regardless of what you are up against right now know that you have the authority to change your situation. If you don't like your job you can always find another,if you feel you don't get paid enough there is always one that pays more. Basically I am showing you that you hold the key to your next accomplishment.Let Me ask you a question,have you ever applied for a job and they told you that you were overqualified? Well I know you probably was thinking that is even the more to hire me,right? Yes,that is the thought but that is simply not the answer. Instead of taking it as a let down take it to heart, meaning just think to yourself it's their loss. If they couldn't appreciate the experiences you have then they you didn't need them in the first place. You pick up the pieces and carry on, that was just a company who was not going to value your worth. They actually did you a favor! Focus on your perfections and build your own destiny.You want a career or job that will allow you to be the best,allow you to be rewarded for your hard work. That experience that you have given the company you will always have it to take with you every where you go. So if you want to reach higher heights first believe in yourself, and know that what you have on the inside of you can be used for the greater good. If no one else can see your potential stand firm and build your foundation by making an impact in what you believe,and that my friend is you!
