GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) -- North Carolina's Tyler Zeller is the Atlantic Coast Conference's player of the year, and Florida State's Leonard Hamilton has won the coach of the year award for the second time in four years.
The league on Tuesday also announced that Duke's Austin Rivers was a unanimous choice for freshman of the year and North Carolina's John Henson is the defensive player of the year for the second straight year.
The winners were determined by a vote of 62 members of the Atlantic Coast Sports Media Association.
Zeller received 45 votes to 14 for Virginia's Mike Scott. Hamilton had 21 votes for the coaching award -- one more than Duke's Mike Krzyzewski. Henson received 56 votes for the defensive honor.

Airborne laser scanning is a relatively young and precise technology to directly measure surface elevations. With today's high scanning rates, dense 3-D pointclouds of coordinate triplets (xyz) can be provided, in which many structural aspects of the vegetation are contained. The challenge now is to transform this data, as far as possible automatically, into manageable information relevant to the user. In this paper we present two such methods: the first extracts automatically the geometry of individual trees, with a recognition rate of over 70% and a systematic underestimation of tree height of only 0.6 metres. The second method derives a pixel map of the canopy density from the pointcloud, in which the spatial patterns of vegetation cover are represented. These patterns are relevant for habitat analysis and ecosystem studies. The values derived by this method correlate well with field measurements, giving a measure of certainty (R2) of 0.8. The greatest advantage of airborne laser scanning is that it provides spatially extensive, direct measurements of vegetation structure which show none of the extrapolation errors of spot measurements. A large challenge remains in integrating these new products into the user's processing chains and workflows, be it in the realm of forestry or in that of ecosystem research.

Do You Travel 10 Million Miles on your Job? Tom Stuker Does! [VIDEO]
There was a time not too long ago where I used to commute from Gansevoort all the way to East Greenbush every day when WGNA studios were housed there. That had to be at least 100 miles a day. After 10 years, I said "enough of that", and we moved. After hearing about Tom Stuker, though, I'll never complain again!
Good old Mr Stuker has now a reason to brag. According to a story I read on CNN.com:
Meet the man many people have compared to George Clooney's character in "Up in the Air." Over the weekend, Stuker became the first person ever to reach the 10 million mile mark in United's Mileage Plus program.
Let me spell that out again. TEN MILLION MILES! Here's a segment they did about him on Niteline recently.
It's funny. Sometimes I'm jealous when I hear about people reaching huge goals in their lives. Derek Jeter, for example. Phil Mickelson ! Tiger Woods (let me qualify that one!) What I wouldn't give to be great in sports! But this guy? He can have his travel, his frequent flyer points, his full body scans every day, his long waits on the tarmac while they de-ice the planes. This life is so alien to me. I don't believe someone can jump in a plane multiple times literally every week! Not me, folks.
How about you? If you're job required flying every single week, even once a week, would it bother you? I'd love to know. Meanwhile, suffice it to say I'm happy in the Toyota Corolla (that's about as dangerous as I get)

The single-stage Atlas IIIB booster was the same as that used for the Atlas IIIA. The Lockheed-Martin manufactured Centaur upper stage was powered by two Pratt & Whitney RL10A-4-2 turbopump-fed engines burning liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen. The changes to Centaur for the Atlas IIIB included a stretched tank (1.68 m) and the addition of the second engine. Guidance, tank pressurization, and propellant usage controls for both Atlas and Centaur phases were provided by the inertial navigation unit (INU) located on the forward equipment module.
In a typical Atlas IIIB launch, the vehicle's two RD-180 thrust chambers were ignited shortly before liftoff. Pre-programmed engine thrust settings were used during booster ascent to minimize vehicle loads by throttling back during peak transonic loads in the high dynamic pressure region, while otherwise maximizing vehicle performance. Just over two minutes into flight, as the vehicle reached an axial acceleration of 4 g's, the engines began to throttle back, eventually initiating a constant throttle rate to sustain acceleration at 5.5 g's. Booster engine cutoff occurred approximately three minutes into flight and was followed by separation of Centaur from Atlas.
The first Centaur burn lasted about five minutes, after which the Centaur and its payload coasted in a parking orbit. During the first burn, approximately eight seconds after ignition, the payload fairing was jettisoned. The second Centaur ignition occurred 27 minutes into the flight, continued for about three minutes, and was followed several minutes later by the separation of the spacecraft from Centaur. Major suppliers included: NPO Energomash / Pratt & Whitney - Atlas RD-180 engines; Pratt & Whitney - Centaur engines; Honeywell - Inertial Navigation Unit; BF Goodrich - Digital acquisition system; SAAB - Payload Separation Systems.
LEO Payload: 10,718 kg (23,629 lb). Payload: 4,500 kg (9,900 lb) to a GTO. Launch Price $: 105.000 million in 2000 dollars.

Baseball Wins Season Series at Richmond Behind 15-9 Victory
In another high offensive output from the Princeton baseball team, the Tigers combined for 16 hits to defeat Richmond 15-9. The win also marked Princeton's first series win over an opponent on the year, as they went 2-1 against the Spiders.
Five different Tigers recorded a multi-hit game, with Alec Keller and Blake Thomsen going 3-for-6 to lead the squad. Thomsen also had a pair of RBI and runs, while Keller notched two RBI. Ryan Albert, Steve Harrington and John Mishu each tallied a pair of hits, while Sam Mulroy made his lone hit count, driving in his third home run of the year.
In the top of the first, Mike Ford hit a two out RBI single to give the Tigers an early advantage. After two scoreless innings, the Spiders took their first lead of the game in the bottom of the fourth. Down 2-1 in the top of the fifth, Mulroy sent a two-out three-run blast over the left field wall to give Princeton a 4-2 advantage. Richmond then knotted things in the bottom of the fifth, but the Tigers' Andrew Whitener's two-out RBI single to center field provided a one-run lift for Princeton the following inning.
Down 6-5, the Tigers employed 10-run rally over the final three innings to retake control of the game for good. In both the seventh and ninth innings, Harrington tallied a pair of doubles, bringing in three runs during that span.
On the defensive end, starting pitcher Matt Bowman threw 5.2 innings. In 32 batters faced, he tallied seven strikeouts, while allowing 10 hits. Ryan Makis came in and threw 1.1 relief innings, earning his first decision of the year, 1-0. Makis allowed only one run and three hits in nine batters faced.
The Tigers (4-6) head next to the state of North Carolina for a pair of midweek matchups. Princeton will face the North Carolina Tar Heels on Tuesday, Mar. 20 at 6 p.m., before playing UNC Greensboro the following evening at 6 p.m.

Television remains the most powerful and ubiquitous medium for social communication. The advent of digital television (DTV) and the prospective convergence between television, computer and telecommunications technologies augur radical changes in the media ecology. In the context of the ensuing technological, economic, cultural and regulatory uncertainties, some analysts argue that public service broadcasting faces new threats, others that it bears new responsibilities. This report presents the results of an ESRC-funded study carried out in 2001 which examined the digital television strategies of Britain's two main public service broadcasters (PSBs), the BBC and Channel Four (C4), in this period of multiple uncertainties. The research also examined how the PSBs develop strategy in the face of such uncertainties. On this basis it sought to evaluate the strategic planning of the two PSBs, and to assess to what extent their respective policies demonstrate a revitalised role for PSB in the digital context and are likely to enhance the quality of British television. The research highlights the increasingly central role of strategy, market analysis and market research in the dynamics of the contemporary media industries.
The study has two further outcomes, outlined at the end of the report. It yields major insights for public policy in this area, highlighting the problematic nature of the regulatory controls operating on C4, the contradictory policy imperatives under which the BBC is labouring, and the critically important role in the roll-out of digital services being played by the publicly-funded BBC. In addition the research has implications for economic sociology. It offers a case study that exemplifies recent theories of the performative role of expert discourses, and particularly forms of economic expertise in contemporary business practice. Little attention has been paid by the new economic sociology and media political economy to the speculative processes by which new markets, such as those being formed around digital television, come into being. This study offers such an analysis, focusing on the way strategy and marketing are deployed to conceptualise, frame and constitute future media markets.

This wasn't the case for 9-year old Austin Foglietta of Lynn, Mass. who scored his 200th goal last month and asked the referee if he could keep the puck. The official obliged which allegedly set off his coach.
From The Daily Item:
"He said, 'ridiculous, ridiculous, that's the most selfish thing I've ever seen,'" [Austin's dad] Bill Foglietta said during an interview about the incident in his Salem home. "He took the puck away from Austin and threw it back on the ice. He broke my son's heart and he did it publicly. It just tore me up inside."
Ah, but as in every dispute, there's a whole 'nother side to things.
The coach, Bill Norcross, denied the Foglietta's claims, instead, turning it around on the boys' mother:
They say Holly Foglietta is an overbearing hockey mother who has at times tried to interfere with the way the coaches run the team, and who by making false allegations created a situation where lawyers are now representing people on both sides of the dispute.
The situation has devolved so much that Holly Foglietta filed a complaint with the league; and according to the paper, she called the treatment of her son "borderline child abuse."
Because of the apparent contentious relationship that dates back before the puck incident, the league suspended Austin and his twin brother, William, from the competing. This has led to a scheduled hearing between the family and members of the Lynn Youth Hockey board. The twins were given permission by the league to continue to participate with their team until the hearing took place.
A hockey coach/parent dispute that spirals out of control? No way!
More from The Daily Item here, including reaction from other parents, from those who deny anything happened to one who backs up the Foglietta's claim.

The U.S. Women's Soccer team celebrated Valentine's Eve in Atlanta in a game postponed for a day by bad weather by showing no love and affection to the Russians defeating them 8-0 in front of more than 16,000 fans at the Georgia Dome on Thursday night.
The U.S. went one better than they did on earlier in the week when they beat the same team 7-0 in the sunshine in Florida but for the first 45 minutes it looked like it might be a little tighter as the USA went in at halftime only winning 1-0.
The USA were dominant throughout the game but had difficulty early on translating that superiority into goals. They controlled possession and had a huge territorial advantage that kept the Russians pinned in their own half.
The dominance came from the U.S. midfield where Carli Lloyd and Morgan Brian from the central positions fed Heather O'Reilly, and Megan Rapinoe on the wings to great effect.
O'Reilly had an MVP night scoring one goal and assisting on another and her constant threat wide on the right side was a problem for the Russians all night long.
On the other end the Russians couldn't get anything going and Hope Solo, in the first half, and Jill Loyden in the second half weren't tested at all.
The U.S. were 2-0 up before they even scored a goal courtesy of two own goals from the Russians; the first in the 11th minute and the second just after halftime in the 50th minute.
The second goal caused the floodgates to open and the Americans added six more in a goalfest that delighted the fans. Amy Rodriguez scored in the 52nd minute. Abby Wambach added one in the 54th minute. Megan Rapinoe got in on the action in the 65th minute.
Three more were scored very late in the game as Lauren Holiday scored from a penalty she herself had been awarded when she was brought down in the area in the 81st minute. Heather O'Reilly scored in the 83rd minute while Christen Press finished the scoring off in the 86th minute.
Coach Sermanni noted about the one day weather delay, "We looked a little bit rusty. Give credit to Russia, they'd obviously done their homework from the last game and in the first half made it difficult for us. The game was quite tight. The difference in the second half was we got two early goals….After that, we got into a stride, the space opened up a bit more and we started to create a few chances. It took us a little bit to get going tonight, which is to be expected, and credit to Russia for making it difficult for 55 minutes out there."
Next up for the U.S.A. Women's Team is The Algarve Cup in Portugal in March.


text: 16 September 2009 archive See all show photos SPRING/SUMMER is about red, white and black for the Badgley Mischka boys who gave us a lesson in laidback and relaxed, yet simultaneously sophisticated dressing. Grey wear-to-the-office dresses opened the show, dressed up with look-at-me jewellery, and were closely followed by a baggy trouser and casual white shirt combination – worn with hands causally slung in pockets. These were grown-up looks. Light salmon shades paved the way before a stunning ruby red gown stepped up, bearing a bow that unwound and unravelled to its hem – a detail which later appeared on the tiered frill skirt of a dropped waist dress – while tiny hearts smothered the white skirts of the last looks.

I have a bit of business to deal with in this post. The Annapolis Heritage Society's annual general meeting will take place at 7:00 pm on October 8, 2009. Please note that the meeting will be held at the Granville Ferry Hall as this is not the usual location for our AGM.
The AGM is an excellent opportunity to learn about the past year's events and activities as well as what we are planning for the coming year. Since 2010 is the 300 anniversary of the Sinclair Inn Museum, the naming of Annapolis Royal and continous Anglican service in Canada, it promises to be a busy year. This is also one of the best opportunities through the year to see how you can get involved in our organization. Since many of our committees will make reports, it is an excellent time to see if there is a volunteer job that may interest you.
Our speaker for this year's AGM is John Whidden of Wolfville. Mr. Whidden will be giving a presentation on Annapolis Royal's forgotten architect, Graham Johnson. In the aftermath of the fires of 1920 and 1921, Mr. Johnson, an English veteran of WWI, was hired to design a number of the buildings which still grace the downtown core of Annapolis Royal. Included in his designs were King's Theatre, the Annapolis Royal's Town Hall and the former Newman's Restaurant. In fact, much of the town's current business district has the thumbprint of Graham Johnson. After his all too brief interlude in Nova Scotia Johnson went on to work in Victoria, British Columbia. Please join us for an interesting presentation on a lost part of our heritage.
Today's archival image is of the Annapolis Royal Town Hall as it appeared in 1930. I look forward to seeing the what the buildings which influenced which Graham Johnson's designs were. I am also interested to learn if he took anything of our local architecture on to his future projects.
All for now,
Wednesday, September 30, 2009

There are indeed examples of an architect by the name of J. Graham Johnson to be found in the Victoria, BC area (community of Oak Bay, BC to be specific). They properties are known as Patio Court and can be seen at http://www.oakbaybc.org/Oak%20Bay%20Heritage%20Site/Heritage%20Properties.htmReplyDelete
Not sure if this is the same fellow, but the timing seems close.
Thanks for the link. I am fairly sure that this is the same man but I will confirm this at the meeting on the 8th. My first reaction to the buildings that Johnson is credited with is "Holy Arts and Crafts Style Batman!" You just have to love the round turrets.ReplyDelete

Apple offers several iMac customizations when buying one. While I see benefit for better HD or more RAM (computers always felt faster after RAM upgrade), is it worth buying a CPU upgrade, especially since GPU now takes most of the workload for graphics?
Currently, options are 2.93GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and 3.06GHz for additional $150. Is it just me, or is CPU upgrade least significant one?

Season 10 of the hit TV drama "Grey's Anatomy" is coming to a close next week. Fans have known for some time that Sandra Oh was moving on and leaving her role of Cristina Yang. The time has now come to see her exit and say her tearful goodbyes to everyone in Seattle. It looks to be an exciting finale with many other changes also happening that do not involve Cristina. Wet Paint shared some spoilers Wednesday about the upcoming finale.
The season finale will be episode 24 and titled "Fear (of the Unknown)." It is scheduled to air on May 15 and fans do not want to miss this exciting conclusion to the season! It is being said that a possible terrorist attack will hit Seattle. This of course will lead to some trauma and frantic efforts to save lives by Seattle's best doctors.
The terrorist event will not be the only issues faced during this episode. Everyone saw in last night's episode that Derek was offered the opportunity of a lifetime working on a brain mapping project for the President in Washington D.C. Meredith does not seem very thrilled with this idea. Spoilers indicate that on the finale she will make a life changing decision.
A few other characters will not be returning for next season and yes season 11 has already been confirmed! Shane and Leah will not be coming back. Leah was told last night she didn't have what it takes to be a surgeon. Shane's fate is still unknown. Will he be a victim of next week's traumatic event? TV Line had already let fans know these two would not be made into cast regulars so their departures shouldn't shock fans too much.
The huge emotional moment for the cast and fans will be Sandra Oh's exit. It appears from spoilers she will leave unharmed to take over a hospital in Switzerland. There are reports of scenes showing her packing her bags and looking for electrical adapters to use overseas. It will be a hard moment for her and Meredith to say their goodbyes. Oh has played Cristina for ten years.
The exciting season finale of "Grey's Anatomy" will air on ABC next Thursday night. It is sure to bring an adrenaline rush and probably some tears to fans. It will be a long wait for season 11, which will not debut until September.

TC TO JOHN FORSTER ; 2 March 1842; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18420302-TC-JF-01; CL 14: 55-56
Chelsea, Wednesday Night [2 March 1842].
Dear Forster,
My poor Mother-in-Law, Mrs Welsh whom you remember, has been suddenly called away out of this world. Her poor Daughter, who never dreamt of danger till Monday last, started from her sick-room at the first intimation, you may judge in what a state; and set off by the first railway-train of the same day. Alas, on reaching her Uncle's at Liverpool she learns that it is already all over; that her poor Mother never recovered from that sudden stroke (something of palsy, I take it), but expired on the evening of the same day, Friday last. My wife has paused at Liverpool; lies there very ill, as I conjecture; waiting till I come up, and decide whether she shall go farther. I go off tomorrow, and must travel without halting (as I compute) night and day.— This I could not but intimate to you, spite of my haste; as it may be a week or two before we get back. Will you communicate it to the good Mrs Macready, and the rest that come in your way: my haste, these two days, has been excessive, and still is.
The Printer has got the Book, and will proceed in it, I calculate, rapidly and satisfactorily without farther aid of mine. I have gone over it all, in these two days, and made it what it is finally to be. Robson can be depended on for correctness.
I have never got up to see the new Booksellers yet; I meant it today, but have never got across the threshold. I suppose there was a[t] bottom nothing essential to do there; or at least nothing that you will not look to better than I could have done. At first view I did not see the whole attorneyism of Fraser's notable proposal: I am very glad to be out of such hands, and into such other, even at a little loss. The real quantity of loss was one of the things I wished to ascertain today: but it is of small moment for the time being.
Adieu, dear Forster; I am still driven in the extremity of haste. My address on Friday night is "Templand, Thornhill, Dumfries": but you need not trouble yourself with me, till you hear again, I think; for my movements are all vague, and like to be swift and fretful.
Good be with you! / Yours ever truly
T. Carlyle

So I'm moving. And I'm soooo excited to have a new little nursery and toddler's bedroom to create.
I've been collecting prints to put in my little ones' rooms, and I just found another that I must have: from the online shop Petit Collage, a new print that features whimsical toys and treats next to their corresponding letters. I'm over the moon about this whole line, and after learning a little more about the designer I fell even more in love.
Check out some of my favorites!

Outside a truck stop, Todd calls Walt and leaves a voicemail saying there has been a change in management with Declan. He tghen returns back inside to sit with his Uncle Jack and Kenny. Todd tells them the story of how he helped Walt with the train robbery. Uncle Jack asks Todd if he is ready to run his own meth lab. The three leave the rest stop and cross the border to New Mexico.
Hank interrogates Jesse: he wants to know about Heisenberg. He tells Jesse that he knows Walt is Heisenberg. Hank will release Jesse if he tells him everything about Walt. Jesse isn't going to say anything and suggests that Hank beat the information out of him again. Jesse refuses to speak any more to Hank. Saul Goodman enters and makes the officers leave so that he can talk to Jesse in private. Saul wonders what's wrong with Jesse that he would throw all his money out a window around town.
Walt Jr. tells Walt that he's going to Marie's house to help her with a computer problem. Walt catches him before he leaves and tells him that yesterday he passed out and that's why he has a cut on his head. He tells Walt Jr. that the cancer may be back but he shouldn't worry about it. Walt Jr. decides not to go to Marie's and instead stay with Walt.
Marie is upset at Hank for not telling the police that Walt is Heisenberg. She worries that he will get in trouble for not saying anything.
Skyler asks if Walt is sure he wants to do this. He says yes and they record his confession. They meet Hank and Marie for supper. Marie wants to take Walt's kids from him. Walt says no, the kids are safe with them. Marie suggests that Walt just kill himself, but Hank says that's not a solution. The only real solution is for Walt to step up and admit what he has done. Walt gets up to leave and hands Hank a CD.
Back at the Schraders' home, Hank and Marie watch Walt's confession video. In the video he admits that he is a meth cook but says that Hank is the leader of the drug empire. He says Hank sold Walt into servitude to Gus Fring, and that while he built the bomb used to kill Hector, it was Hank who killed him. On the video, Walt states that Hank kidnapped the White kids for a few months. Walt says he tried to quit but Hank beat him up. He hopes the world will finally see Hank for what he really is. Hank thinks it is a threat and Walt would only show this tape if he tries to arrest him. Hank and Marie don't know what to do now with all the evidence stacked against them.
Out in the desert, Saul and Jesse wait for Walt to meet them. Walt asks Jesse what Hank knows about them. Jesse says that he doesn't think Hank has told the rest of the police that Walt is Heisenberg. Walt doesn't like to see Jesse hurting and wants to help him. He suggests that Jesse get out of town and not look back. Walt tells Jesse to at least think about it, there's nothing left for him in this town. Jesse asks Walt to stop working him, he doesn't believe that Walt actually cares for him. He thinks that if he doesn't leave town, Walt will kill him. Walt walks up to Jesse and hugs him, and Jesse breaks down and cries.
At the car wash, Walt walks into Skyler's office and says they are fine. He thinks that their plan worked.
Saul offers Jesse one last chance to say goodbye to anyone before he is given a new life. Saul calls a man to set up a meeting. Huell will drive Jesse to the meeting spot. Saul warns Jesse that the man is very punctual so he shouldn't leave the spot for even a minute. Jesse can go anywhere he likes and decides he wants to go Alaska. After he arrives at the meeting spot, Jesse holds a cigarette pack very intensely and has a realization. A van pulls up next to him but Jesse walks past it. He barges into Saul's office, beats Saul up, and points a gun at Saul. He says that Saul stole the ricin cigarette that poisoned Brock and Saul says that he did it because Walt told him to. Jesse leaves and Saul makes a call. He tells Walt that they have a big problem.
Walt rushes into the car wash and tries to act calm in front of Skyler. Walt retrieves a gun from inside the pop machine and leaves the car wash. Before he goes, he tells Skyler that he has to pick up a prescription.
Jesse arrives at Walt's house and takes a gasoline container out of his trunk. Jesse enters the house and empties a container of gasoline all over the place.

Link: Cyclomaniacs 2
Developer: turboNuke
Genre: Racing
Kongregate Rating: 4.45/5
FlashMush Rating: 8.5/10
TurboNuke is back with the sequel to Cyclomaniacs, if you don't recognize turboNuke's name in the flash gaming industry...well I'm sure you've played his games and just don't realize. He makes some of the best and unique games out there, I put him in the same tier as Nerdook.
Anyways. Cyclomaniacs 2 is of course a sequel game but that doesn't mean it's bad. In fact Cyclomaniacs is truly a proper sequel. It adds loads of new features to an already featured loaded series. At it's simplest form, the Cyclomaniacs' format is a generic racing game. You choose a wacky character (and I mean wacky, having a fish racing on a skateboard is the norm here) and then race a course. On the course you want to do flips and other tricks to increase your boost bar which, you guessed it, gives you a boost so you can win the race! Of course when you win the race you earn money which you can use to upgrade your stats so you can go faster or pull of tricks easier. Also a big part of the format in Cyclomaniacs is goals. Each race has usually two goals. Most of the time it's just to finish the race but some times you have to do a certain amount of tricks or other things. Completing these goals unlocks new characters to play as as well as progresses the storyline further and therefore unlocks new maps.
Other features Cyclomaniacs 2 brings to the table is a full on interactive in-game menu. Within this menu you of course can choose your next race and upgrade your character, but also there are three different mini games to play as well as a variety of stats to read. Cyclomaniacs 2 offers so much. You literally have over thirty different characters to choose from, loads of maps to play in and of course all the goals to complete. Along with the mini games, this game will keep you occupied for a long time.
However, every good game is going to have some short comings. In the case of Cyclomaniacs 2 in comes in the form of difficulty. I found this to be a problem with the original too but some of the goals and levels are plain old impossible to complete. I also would like to see minor stats changes between each individual character. I feel this would make the game have a more strategic variable, which therefore could make some goals easier or harder, as well as just make the game even more in depth which it already is quite a bit.

Today's homeowners generally aren't looking for trendy, flash-in-the-pan decor that will be dated before the paint dries on the walls. Instead, they want sustainable features like the eco-friendly EverTouch recyclable nylon found in many of Shaw's area rug collections, along with vintage furniture and ethnic themes that transcend generations.
"Interior design trends catch fire because they illustrate what's important today in terms of identity and values in broad strokes," home design consultant Cindy Lee Bergersen wrote in The Hamptons magazine. "Creating a home that looks like you is never a done deal. The idea is to let it grow and evolve over time - or at least look that way."
Old and new
The vintage look can range from old-time Americana items to a 1960's vibe created by influences shown in the "Mad Men" TV series. The mid-century trend shows its popularity in colors that include orange, mustard, teal and deep red as well as tapered legs and boomerang shapes in furniture.
Bergeron suggests the revival in modern furniture from the 1960's and 1970's has created a hybrid of contemporary and traditional looks that are less hard-edged and warmer than previously seen.
Building green
One of the biggest developments that has come out of the green movement is the trend toward smaller living spaces that demand less upkeep and have a reduced ecological footprint.
In those smaller spaces, the desire for long-lasting, classic features like hardwood floors hasn't changed, however. People are making better use of the space they have. Builders are also using more sustainable materials and reducing the reliance on noxious finishes that pollute the environment.
Ethnic influence
If there is one trend in accessories that supersedes all others it's the use of ethnic themes and collectibles. From African and Moroccan influences to Native American and equestrian themes, the spicy colors, interesting patterns and trims from different cultures can be an important complement as long as they are used in moderation. Setting off a neutral sofa with pillows in such patterns is one good move.
Traditional patterns, new looks
Menswear fabrics have led to the popularity of camel, black, brown and plum as mainstays in home decor. They all look good with gray, which has become the neutral of choice among many design experts.
For patterns, pinstripes, plaids, houndstooth and herringbone have shown up in many elements of room design, from wallpaper and bed linens to upholstery and dinnerware.

New divers will quickly realize that there are many acronyms that stand for the various training agencies. Some of the big ones in this area are PADI (Professional Association of Diving Instructors), SSI (Scuba Schools International), NAUI (National Association of Underwater Instructors), SDI (Scuba Diving International), and IDEA (International Diving Educators Association). You will notice the absence of YScuba which ended their program a little over a year ago. Some of the leaders of the YScuba program began SEI (Scuba Educators International).
Many new divers and those considering diving find this alphabet soup very confusing. One question they are always asking is "which agency is best?" That is a very difficult question to answer, and if you search the web there is much debate. The reality is that no agency is better than another. If you find yourself amongst divers who were certified by different agencies you will learn that the skills learned were nearly the same. Many agencies are members of the RSTC (Recreational Scuba Training Council) which sets minimum standards for the member agencies, and agencies that are not members generally follow the same minimum standards.
The most important aspect of choosing where to take your class is not which agency, but choosing the best instructor. It is best to shop around and "interview" the instructor and find one you are confident about. There are many different styles of teaching, and you want to find the instructor that uses the style that suits your needs.

The Most Amazing Resume Objective Ever Written

Resume Objective Guide
How to Write a Resume Objective
The Resume Objective Words List
Resume Objective Sample
I was amazed at the results when I happened to discover this tactic for resume objective writing. This method mirrors the company personality in an acceptable and subtle way.
While I do not believe all resumes need objectives, if you must include one on your resume this is a great place to mirror the
company's objective (mission statement.) Read the company's mission statement and parallel or mirror the company purpose. Note: You do not have to limit mission statement mirroring to your objective. You can also use the same meaning and purpose of a company's mission statement in other areas of your resume and in your cover letter.
While there are probably HR employees that do not have their company's mission statement memorized, many will find something familiar about your resume when you have mirrored their mission statement. A familiarity that "feels right."
Resume Objective Mirror Method Examples
Here is an example of the resume objective Mirror Method using Aflac's mission statement.
Aflac's Mission Statement:
"To combine aggressive strategic marketing with quality products and services at competitive prices to provide the best insurance value for consumers."
How and can you work this into your cover letter and/or resume?
Start by breaking down the keyword phrases in the mission statement with the longer phrases first. In the example above from Aflac, here are the longer keyword phrases:
1. combine aggressive strategic marketing with quality products and services
2. products and services at competitive prices
3. provide the best insurance value for consumers
Notice that you can use overlapping words to create the keyword phrases. In this case, phrase 1 and 2 have the words products and services repeated.
Now break the mission statement phrases down farther into smaller phrases and words:
1. aggressive strategic marketing
2. strategic marketing
3. quality products
4. quality services
5. competitive prices
6. provide the best insurance value
7. best insurance value
8. consumers
Here are several objective examples for different occupations that mirror the Aflac mission statement:
Position 1: Accountant
OBJECTIVE: To contribute to providing the best insurance value for consumers by ensuring accurate accounting methods that will encourage competitive prices.
Position 2: Customer Service
OBJECTIVE: To ensure quality services through top notch customer communication to provide the best insurance value.
Position 3: IT Department
OBJECTIVE: To keep technology systems current and operating to afford consistent competitive prices to achieve the best insurance values.
Position 4: Sales
OBJECTIVE: To apply superior selling skills to market quality products and services that provide the best insurance value for consumers.

The most heartbreaking photo of a white pit bull emotionally dejected, sitting with her back to visitors in the corner of her kennel at a high kill shelter in California, spread through social media like wildfire for days inspiring hundreds of animal lovers to call with offers to help.
Read Chelsea's original story by clicking here.
Now doing well at the Jason Heigl Foundation in Los Angeles, Chelsea is ready to find her permanent home. Described as happy-go-lucky, Chelsea may seem shy when you first meet her, but her caretakers say she warms right up to people and loves belly rubs and outdoor walks.
"Chelsea will thrive in an environment where she receives consistent and positive encouragement for her behavior. She loves belly rubs and likes nothing more than wiggling on her back to solicit a thorough rubdown! Chelsea is a lower energy dog who would prefer good cuddles to playing with a ball."
The San Bernardino City Animal Control shelter personnel were so inundated with calls about Chelsea, the organization stated it was their wish that all pets brought into shelters could receive that much attention and have so many home offers.
Happily, Chelsea's story has brought more awareness to the tragic plight of so many dogs languishing in shelters across the United States; Chelsea's story, in one desperate picture showed the pain of loneliness and emotional despair so many dogs feel as their lives change in a moment's time.
Chelsea was one of the lucky dogs; statistics show that three to four million cats and dogs are euthanized in shelters every year.
Please help to support the Jason Heigl Foundation by clicking here, and allow them to help more pets like Chelsea.

Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt says the American rock band will survive lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's trip to rehab.
The band later said they had as much time as expected and apologized for Armstrong's behavior.
"Billie doesn't take things lightly and he wouldn't take rehab lightly, either," Dirnt told Kerrang! magazine. "He's in the middle of some really big things, but we're going to pull through. It's killing everyone. Green Day has never been a band that sits still, but sometimes you have to step back and let life go on rather than try to control everything."
MTV.com said the band doesn't expect to see Armstrong before Christmas as his doctors are still evaluating him.
Green Day has canceled numerous concerts while its front-man seeks help for his problems.

Twin car bombs killed at least 42 people and wounded many more in Reyhanli, Turkey just a few kilometers from the main border crossing into Syria on Saturday, May 11, 2013. The bombs ripped into crowded streets near Reyhanli's shopping district in the early afternoon in the town in Turkey's southern Hatay province, home to thousands of Syrian refugees. The Turkish government said it suspects Syrian involvement. The twin car bombings mark the biggest incident of cross-border violence since the start of Syria's bloody civil war and raises fears of Turkey being pulled deeper into the conflict.

If you ever wondered how the left took over the media, the government, academia and science, here is Exhibit "A". Robert Jensen, a journalism professor at the University of Texas has written an essay that says that Thanksgiving Day is a white supremacist celebration of genocide and brutality. He goes on to say that the moral values and political views of our founding fathers are identical to those of the Nazis.
I really don't know how we can "reclaim our culture" as long as American parents are willing to mortgage their homes and empty their bank accounts in order to send their children to universities that teach this America hating filth.
One indication of moral progress in the United States would be the replacement of Thanksgiving Day and its self-indulgent family feasting with a National Day of Atonement accompanied by a self-reflective collective fasting.
In fact, indigenous people have offered such a model; since 1970 they have marked the fourth Thursday of November as a Day of Mourning in a spiritual/political ceremony on Coles Hill overlooking Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts, one of the early sites of the European invasion of the Americas.
Not only is the thought of such a change in this white-supremacist holiday impossible to imagine, but the very mention of the idea sends most Americans into apoplectic fits — which speaks volumes about our historical hypocrisy and its relation to the contemporary politics of empire in the United States.
That the world's great powers achieved "greatness" through criminal brutality on a grand scale is not news, of course. That those same societies are reluctant to highlight this history of barbarism also is predictable.
But in the United States, this reluctance to acknowledge our original sin — the genocide of indigenous people — is of special importance today. It's now routine — even among conservative commentators — to describe the United States as an empire, so long as everyone understands we are an inherently benevolent one. Because all our history contradicts that claim, history must be twisted and tortured to serve the purposes of the powerful.

Charles Darwin
excerpted from
Infidel Death-Beds
by G. W. Foote and A. D. McLaren
critically edited by Cliff Walker, 2002
Darwin, the great evolutionist, whose fame is as wide as civilization, was born at Shrewsbury in 1809. Intended for a clergyman, he became a naturalist; and although his bump of reverence was said to be large enough for ten priests, he passed by gentle stages into the most extreme skepticism. From the age of forty he was, to use his own words, a complete disbeliever in Christianity. Further reflection showed him that Nature bore no evidence of design, and the prevalence of struggle and suffering in the world compelled him to reject the doctrine of infinite benevolence. He professed himself an Agnostic, regarding the problem of the universe as beyond our solution, "For myself," he wrote, "I do not believe in any revelation. As for a future life, every man must judge for himself between conflicting vague probabilities." Robert Lewins, M.D., knew Darwin personally, and had discussed this question with him. Darwin was much less reticent to Lewins than he had shown himself in a letter to Haeckel. In answer to a direct question "as to the bearing of his researches on the existence of an anima, or soul in man, he distinctly stated that, in his opinion, a vital or spiritual principle, apart from inherent somatic (bodily) energy, had no more locus standi in the human than in the other races of the animal kingdom" (What is Religion? by Constance Naden, p. 52). Yet the Church buried him in Westminster Abbey "in the sure and certain hope of a glorious resurrection."
Darwin died on April 19, 1882, in the plenitude of his fame, having outlived the opposition of ignorance and bigotry, and witnessed the triumph of his ideas. His last moments are described by his eldest son Francis: --
No special change occurred during the beginning of April, but on Saturday 15th he was seized with giddiness while sitting at dinner in the evening, and fainted in an attempt to reach his sofa. On the 17th he was again better, and in my temporary absence recorded for me the progress of an experiment in which I was engaged. During the night of April 18th, about a quarter to twelve, he had a severe attack and passed into a faint, from which he was brought back to consciousness with great difficulty. He seemed to recognize the approach of death, and said "I am not the least afraid to die." All the next morning he suffered from terrible nausea and faintness, and hardly rallied before the end came.
No one in his senses would have supposed that he was "afraid to die," yet it is well to have the words recorded by the son who was present. In the second edition of Infidel Deathbeds this notice ended with the words: "Pious ingenuity will be unable to traduce the deathbed of Charles Darwin." But "pious ingenuity" is not easily slain. Sir Francis Darwin as recently as January, 1916, had to refute a lying story about his father's agonizing deathbed, and the story cropped up again, with embellishments, in The Churchman's Magazine for March, 1925.

MBZC's response to reports of misconduct by Joshu Sasaki Roshi
The Transitional Leadership Team and the Administrative Abbots-designate of Rinzai-ji in conjunction with the Rinzai-ji Bearing Witness Group (for more information visit www.rinzaijioshos.org) have released the following announcement in response to recent reports that the Roshi behaved inappropriately with female students, and that our community ignored or covered up this behavior.
Dear current and former members of the Rinzai-ji community,
As most of you know, reports of misconduct have been made against our teacher Joshu Sasaki Roshi concerning his behavior with female students. This issue has been made public through various media, including websites, radio, magazines and newspapers.
Members of the Rinzai-ji community met twice at Mt. Baldy Zen Center (in January and March of this year) to discuss how to best respond to these reports. A Bearing Witness Group was formed to investigate different organizations experienced in helping communities like ours deal with similar situations.
Following the recommendation of the Bearing Witness Group, we contracted with a Zen Buddhist nonprofit organization, An Olive Branch, to serve as a neutral third party to receive reports of harm. An Olive Branch will bring reports requiring resolution to the Listening Council, a group of Rinzai-ji sangha members established to respond to these reports with compassion.
The Rinzai-ji community is now inviting people who feel harmed to come forward. As neutral first receiver, An Olive Branch will:
a) Listen in confidentiality to the person reporting harm;
b) Recognize and explore potential resolution to grievances with reporters of harm;
c) Carry any request to the Listening Council for reporters of harm who wish to remain anonymous;
d) Make arrangements for individuals who wish to speak directly to the Rinzai-ji Listening Council.
The Rinzai-ji community encourages those who feel harmed to enter this process of resolution and reconciliation.
An Olive Branch can be reached in any of the following three ways:
124 Willow Ridge Rd. Sewickley, PA 15143
412-996-5483 (Eastern Time Zone 8am-5pm Tues-Sat)

Dozens of young engineers in the making got to try their hands at building whatever they could imagine Sunday with an unlimited supply of Legos, the colorful construction toys from Denmark.
The event wasn't all fun and games. Shannon Simmons, director of Medina's franchise of Bricks 4 Kidz, said the goal of the program is to use Lego bricks to promote learning in math and science in a fun, creative setting.
"Instead of buying a set of Legos at Wal-Mart that shows how to make a single project, we take it to the next level," Simmons said. "We have projects that teach math, sorting and organization."
Simmons put on a back-to-school open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday at the business' "creativity center" at 961 N. Court St., next to Chipotle.
Simmons said children could participate in building games and free-building at the creativity center or could take on tougher projects like stop-motion filming, comic book creation and engineering using gears and engines.
The franchise started as a mobile operation but expanded into the creativity center in June 2012.
"It just started with me in a basement with a couple kids, and it evolved from there," she said. "I'm one of the first franchises to start a creativity center."
The center hosts events several times a week, sometimes with a particular theme, and also holds after-school events in school districts across Northeast Ohio. Simmons said they can also be hired for birthday parties or other events.
Simmons said one event may be of particular interest to parents: Twice a month on Fridays, Bricks 4 Kidz hosts a three-hour "Parents' Night Out" event for parents to drop off their children and head out for a night of their own.
"We do those once a week during the summer, but twice a week during the school year," Simmons said. "That way it's fun for the kids and the parents."
Simmons said her franchise has grown to have six educators helping to provide a quality product.
"It takes someone who's a kid at heart to be able to do this right," she said. "We've got a great staff."

IDNIANAPOLIS -- Win or lose the Horizon League championship game, Butler was headed to the NCAA tournament.
Still, the 12th-ranked Bulldogs felt something was missing from their resume. On Tuesday night, they finally got the title and the ticket they so desperately craved.
A year after being upset on its home court in the conference title game, Butler blew out second-seeded Wright State 70-45 to claim its fourth straight NCAA bid.
"We didn't want that same feeling going into the tournament or think that maybe you have to get some help or something to be in the tournament," tourney MVP Matt Howard said. "We didn't want to have to deal with that at all. We wanted to get this done."
No worries this time.
The game was every bit as one-sided as Butler (28-4) made the conference season -- to the glee of bubble teams everywhere.
The Bulldogs extended the nation's longest winning streak to 20 games and head into NCAA play as the only Division I team to complete a perfect conference season. They went 20-0 against league foes, including the two tourney games. They won the regular-season crown by a record six games and were still reaching milestones Tuesday night.
By completing a perfect 15-0 home season, Butler matched Xavier's conference mark for most league tourney titles (six) and Detroit's record for most tournament victories (28). If not for Wright State's two free throws with 3.8 seconds left, the Bulldogs would have had the widest victory margin in a championship game, too. For now, it's a record that still belongs to Xavier, which beat Detroit 122-96 in 1988.
Howard, last season's Horizon League player of the year, had 14 points and nine rebounds. Shelvin Mack scored all 14 of his points, including four 3-pointers, in the first half. Zach Hahn came off the bench to score 11 points, and Gordon Hayward, this season's conference player of the year, had eight points and four rebounds.
The game was so lopsided coach Brad Stevens allowed only one Butler player to log more than 30 minutes, and the final 15 minutes felt more like a coronation than a celebration.
It was exactly how Butler envisioned finishing this season after spending the past 12 months reliving those agonizing memories from the Cleveland State game.
"That's something that's going to be sticking with me for the rest of my career," Ronald Nored said of last year's loss. "It kind of fueled what we have going now and it makes this even better."
Wright State (20-12) never had a chance against the motivated Bulldogs.
Only one player, N'Gai Evans reached double figures. He had 13 points. Todd Brown, who is in Wright State's 1,000-point club, was shut out.
How bad was it?
"I apologize we didn't play better," Raiders coach Brad Brownell said. "We're a better team than we showed tonight, but certainly Butler was playing at a high level. Any time you get behind against them, it's really hard and makes it really challenging for you to come back."
Butler took charge right from the start.
The Bulldogs set the tone in the first three minutes when Mack opened the game with two straight 3-pointers and Howard followed that with a three-point play.
Mack's third 3 gave Butler a 17-9 lead just eight minutes into the game, and the Bulldogs extended the halftime to margin to 42-28. Butler's eight 3s coupled with Howard's two three-point plays in the first half accounted for 30 points.
And the Bulldogs were only getting started.
They made it 51-30 when Hahn hit a 3 with 15:35 left in the game, and then cranked up the defensive pressure.
Game over.
Wright State scored only 17 points in the final 20 minutes, not nearly enough to prevent Butler from taking the conference's automatic NCAA bid. Or causing headaches for their next opponent.
"One of the things that's neat about this run is that they've brought it every single night and in games where, quite frankly, people would really get on them if they lost and they don't care," Stevens said after high-fiving his players. "These guys just believe in doing the right things."

Green Space
Jason Sheeler | Photo: Ben Garrett | December 2, 2013
With a background in sports and finance, Tara Green is tackling Klyde Warren Park with gusto.
"Where else would anyone dream to put a park over a highway?" asks Tara Green, the new president of Klyde Warren Park, the year-old green space that spans Woodall Rodgers Freeway. "We built the park out of thin air. And it's a game changer."
At the helm since June, Green's already shaking off the park's nonprofit persona, invigorating it with corporate sponsorships and revenue-generating events. She's got the financial and promotional chops to pull it all off—she is, after all, the former chief revenue officer of American Airlines Center and former vice president and COO of the North Texas Super Bowl XLV Host Committee. "So I'm bringing a for-profit mentality to a nonprofit entity," she explains from her office balcony overlooking the park. "My background is sports, and there are similarities, believe it or not. Guest services and sponsorships, for starters." Cigna, Chase and The Dallas Morning News have all signed on to sponsor the park's various free events, including its health and wellness programs, along with the reading and game room.
The 5.2-acre deck park has made downtown more exciting, viable and a great place to have lunch. Green even has a regular table at Savoy, the park's new chic, glass-facade restaurant, and, post-work each day, she takes its gratis yoga class. "The views are amazing,"
she shares.
All this and, still, she insists on giving visitors more to do (her wish list includes a new event series). "We have three sponsors and need three more," offers Green, who, not surprisingly at this point, is also working on a new donor program to entice all levels of giving.

Butterfly Baby
We've been spending most of our time the last few days marveling over our sweet baby girl. And though she's only days old, I'm already having fun dressing her up.
Here she is modeling the appliqued butterfly onesie I made her a while ago. {I posted about making it here.}
I am really loving these embellished onesies on her. I used several newborn sized onesies I had on hand to make them. They're perfect for these early days/weeks when babies are so small that they don't fill in the 0-3 month clothes. And since they only require a simple stitch around the design, they're very soft on baby's skin. Plus, they're quick and inexpensive to make so you don't feel too disappointed when they outgrow them within a week or two's time.
Okay, enough of my enthusiasm about that project. I'll have more NEW projects to share soon.

- Price Before Booze & Tip: $25-35
- Official Site: PalateFoodWine.com
- Telephone and Address: 93 South Brand Boulevard Glendale, CA 91204 (818 662 9463)
- Location: Glendale, California
While its location amongst the car dealerships of South Brand Boulevard in Glendale might dissuade some from visiting Octavio Beccera's relatively new restaurant, the critical plaudits it has received for its small plates menu and accessible wine list have already made this one of the West Coast's hot tickets. In truth, however, on my visit, the much-vaunted food was decidedly hit-and-miss, and the quality of the service and the wines remain in the memory more than the cooking. Combined, they just about make the journey to Glendale worthwhile.
The room at Palate is minimal, bordering on the austere, with checkered floors and high table walk-in seating by the bar giving way to a more formal dining room, which is flooded with natural light from the large windows. Service is relaxed and charming, and servers dealt seamlessly with a large group working their way through a menu predicated on small plates for sharing. Judging from the crowds that packed every table from our early dining hour until the time we left, the unpromising location of the restaurant has not hindered its position as one of the new destination places to eat in Southern California.
For all the praise heaped upon Palate's use of prime, seasonal, Californian ingredients, the meal on our visit -- while not actively bad -- did not live up to our very high expectations. The appallingly named "porkfolio" plate of charcuterie was fridge-fresh and uninspiring and, while mason jars filled with well-seasoned potted Berkshire pork and potted chicken were better (particularly when smeared on perfect crostini), they did little to explain the hype. Main courses were more on track with "duck, turnip, forbidden rice and a pomegranate vinaigrette" waking up the palate and "pork belly with ham hock hash" being fought over by us all. Poor versions of risotto with brussels sprouts and a shamefully bad cheese plate, however, brought things back down to earth again and even the desserts were not enough to convince us that Palate was worth a revisit.
