He spent the last three years as the head coach at Arkansas State, where he led the Red Wolves to an overall record of 60-33 and was named the 2011 Sun Belt Coach of the Year.
The SIU volleyball team was picked eighth in the MVC preseason coaches poll. The Salukis garnered 41 points in the poll, and defending champion Northern Iowa was the unanimous favorite to repeat as Valley champs.
Southern Illinois begins its 54th volleyball season by traveling to The University of Memphis to take on the host Tigers at the Memphis Invitational on August 24. SIU has won its season opener the last six years. The Salukis are 23-15 in season openers since the 1974 season.
Southern Illinois has dominated in its early-season non-conference tournaments the last five seasons. The Salukis have gone 39-7 in early-season tournaments since 2007 and have carried an overall 44-9 record against non-conference opponents in that span.
SIU vs. EASTERN MICHIGAN
Southern Illinois leads the series 3-1-1. The two teams have not faced each other in 21 years but will meet on August 24. The Eagles return five starters including a trio of seniors. Senior outside hitter Rachel Ianquaniello who holds a place in the EMU record book in kills and attacks will lead the Eagles. Eastern Michigan finished the 2011 season with an overall record of 21-11 and placed fourth in the Mid-American Conference with a record of 9-7. The team is coached by Kim Berrington who is in her 17th season, compiling a school record of 251-245.
SIU vs. MEMPHIS
SIU leads the series 12-5 all-time against Memphis. Southern Illinois hosted Memphis last season at the Saluki Invitational. The Tigers defeated SIU in straight sets. Memphis is returning four starters including Altrese Hawkins who was a 2012 Preseason All-C-USA selection ranking 19th in the country in kills for 2011. Hawkins led the Tigers in the last meeting with the Salukis posting a team-high of 15 kills. Fellow returning senior Marija Jovanovic followed Hawkins with 14 kills and ranks second in Memphis history behind Hawkins.
SIU vs. AUSTIN PEAY
The Salukis trail their all-time series with Austin Peay 3-4. Austin Peay returns with just three starters from the 2011 team that went 11-20 overall and tied for sixth in the Ohio Valley Conference with a record of 9-11. Nikki Doyle returns for her senior season with the Lady Governors. Doyle led AP last season in kills with a total of 346. The Lady Governors are coached by Taylor Mott who is in her first season at Austin Peay. Mott brings 13 years of coaching experience with her and an overall record of 295-157.
The Saluki offense was led by a trio of attackers that each averaged more than two kills per set in 2011. Senior outside hitter Laura Thole ranked fourth in the MVC at 3.26 kills per set while junior outside hitter Jessica Whitehead ranked fifth in the league with a season average of 3.25 kills per set while. Senior middle blocker Alysia Mayes rounded out Southerns top attackers with an average of 2.61 kills per set with a .326 hitting percentage. Senior setter Rachael Brown ranked fifth in the Valley with an average of 9.89 assists per set. The Salukis had three players average more than two digs per set, led by senior libero Bailey Yeager's 3.97 per set, which ranked eighth in the MVC. Thole was second on the team with an average of 2.98 digs per set while Brown was third at 2.8.
The Salukis will look to start the season with a win to snap a 12-game losing streak that was compiled at the end of the 2011 season. The current losing streak is SIU's longest since losing 17 straight between the 2000 and 2001 seasons.
The Salukis welcome four newcomers to the roster in 2012. SIU added one transfer in Amy Drabant along with three freshman Taylor Pippen, Mary Bogdanski and Chelsea Cunningham. In addition to head coach Justin Ingram, the Salukis begin the season with two new assistant coaches in Todd Nelson and Natasha Marquis. Nelson came to SIU after serving as the assistant coach for six seasons at the University of Denver. He helped the Pioneers to an overall record of 109-82 including two Sun Belt West Division titles. Natasha Marquis comes to Southern after serving as head coach for one season at Chardon State College. Prior to Chardon State Marquis spent three seasons at the University of Nebraska-Kearny as a graduate assistant.
Senior libero Bailey Yeager moved into the top 10 in school history for digs in a season in 2011. Her 421 digs in 2011 ranks 10th in SIU history.
Senior middle blocker Alysia Mayes moved into the top 10 in SIU history for career solo blocks during the 2011 season. Mayes racked up a career-best 31 block solos during the year to improve to 75 for her career, which ranks 10th in school history.

Abstract: Agler's abstract model theory is applied to $\Crho$, the family of operators with unitary $\rho$-dilations, where $\rho$ is a fixed number in $(0,2]$. The extremals, which are the collection of operators in $\Crho$ with the property that the only extensions of them which remain in the family are direct sums, are characterized in a variety of manners. They form a part of any model, and in particular, of the boundary, which is defined as the smallest model for the family. Any model for a family is required to be closed under direct sums, restrictions to reducing subspaces, and unital $*$-representations. In the case of the family $\Crho$ with $\rho\in(0,1)\cup(1,2]$, this closure is shown to be all of $\Crho$.
Keywords: Model theory, p-contractions, numerical radius, extension, factorization, extremal, complete positivity, Schur complement, operator-valuated analytic function, convexity

Heaven the Axe: V8 Rock N Roll
Words: Brian Fischer-Giffin
Latest release: Sex, Chugs and Rock N Roll
"Some days I wake up before a review comes out and think, 'Oh God, what are they going to say?'" admits Phoebe Pinnock, bombshell vocalist of Melbourne rock and metal band Heaven the Axe. "Putting it out there, your first record as an independent band is quite scary really. You don't know how reviewers and journalists are gonna take it."
She need not worry. Since her band first hit the scene, the reviews have almost always been positive. Formed as a duo in their hometown of Wagga Wagga by Pinnock and her husband Steve Watts – once the frontman of 90s thrash band Manticore – Heaven the Axe developed into a band when the couple moved to Melbourne and Watts got old buddies like ex-Damaged guitarist Mat Silcock and Tim Aldridge from Abramelin and The Berzerker involved. Some tweaking of the line-up (Aldridge and House of Thumbs drummer Tom Rossell have since made way for Trav Price and Aramis Pitrinec) and plenty of live work later and the band's debut EP 'Sex, Chugs and Rock N Roll' has arrived. Loud previewed it earlier this year with a solid review and it seems we weren't the only ones enamoured of their sweet n' savage sound. During November Heaven the Axe played a series of shows in suburban Melbourne with Rose Tattoo at the personal invitation of Angry Anderson.
"It was great," Pinnock recalls with enthusiasm, something she seems to have in unlimited supply. "We got some fantastic new fans and friends from it. We actually met some diehards from that. It's just been super. For people to not know who we are to, by the end of the night, we're selling out of t-shirts and things like that and signing a million CDs and just handing them out… It's just been really humbling and we're really grateful to have had the opportunity with the invitation from Angry to get out there to all his crowd that he's developed. He's shared his audience with us and we were so grateful to get out to different areas and play our music and share our heart with these people and connect to them in a really powerful way."
The two bands came away from the shows as good friends. Phoebe and Angry became particularly close, with the Tatts leader taking her under his wing and offering the kernels of knowledge and nuggets of wisdom that could only come from forty years on the road.
"Angry's become a bit of a mentor to me," she says. "He's certainly got a lot of advice for me on all sorts of different levels. And I have met Angry's manager Ted who has run bands such as Jane's Addiction and the Lollapalooza Festival and things like that, and I'm really learning that the greatest thing is for me to connect to who I am, and just be that person in every way. Whether it comes to business or performing or song writing or anything, it's really very much about getting rid of any bullshit and connecting exactly with your heart and really taking a stand on who you are and putting it out there and not apologising."
Pinnock also finds inspiration for honesty and frankness in the work of one of the world's most successful female singer/songwriters, Dolly Parton. The night before this interview, she went along to see Parton perform at Rod Laver Arena and "just sat there in awe of her."
"She's such a superstar. She really is amazing. She really took the time to speak about where the songs came from, her family and her twelve brothers and sisters and growing up in the hills… it was just profoundly beautiful. I'm still recovering from the emotions that I had there, sitting in this room, a stadium, just full of people and many people bawling their eyes out as I was," Pinnock says. "And I really appreciated her sharing her soul and her heart and her history and who she was and where the songs came from. And that's definitely something that I like to bring to the stage."
Parton's music is reknown for its storytelling, and Pinnock hopes that her own songs are similarly able to convey feelings and thoughts to her audience. She wants them to understand Heaven the Axe on a personal level.
"When people come to see us they really get to know us because we've got a helluva lot of stories to bring up", she says. "What it's like to be brought up in Australia and what it's like to be a woman surrounded by metalheads and also come from a situation where you would be surrounded by that crowd as well. When people come to my shows, I really want them to get to know me and where the songs come from and know about the victories in the battles from situations in the past of myself and my bandmates, and just walk away feeling inspired and empowered, because the music is definitely heavy and the sound that you want to run and lift weights to."
Pinnock's punchy delivery and the high-octane roar of the band means it's also the sort of music to blast out while tooling about in stupidly over-powered custom cars and street machines. So it probably isn't that surprising that one of the group's biggest engagements up to this point was performing at the Summernats in Canberra at the start of this year.
Phoebe first laid eyes on her future husband and bandmate when she saw him hooning about in a Torana in their hometown of Wagga Wagga. Given that connection to their genesis as a band, playing the Summernats seems like the most obvious thing in the world for them to do. For the singer, it was an environment that really allowed her to bond to her role in Heaven the Axe and it led to a modicum of national exposure.
"I really came into my own as a frontwoman there, getting out of the city venues and the dressed-up hard rockers that you have in the city to the real true blue Aussie hoon crowd," Pinnock says. "I really got to understand who I was as the frontwoman of this particular band at the Summernats. That led me to develop further as a live performance artist. And the sound of the music's definitely suited to that. From that we've had fair bit of airplay on television on Channel 7, Channel 10 and lots of car-racing TV shows."
She was also able to take home a piece of the event and use it on 'Sex, Chugs and Rock n Roll': a loud-as-fuck sample from a supercharged Ford dropping a massive burn out.
"We've got a live recording from Summernats because I got to go into the Burn-Out Competition," the singer explains. "On YouTube you can watch me going into John Taverna's supercharged XD Falcon on the track, we came second overall and it was pouring rain when he had to do it, so you can imagine the ferocity. He set the track on fire. It was pissing down! It was sensational. You can't see anything but this black smoke everywhere you look. But I managed to sample the sound of his supercharger from inside the car on the track at Summernats and that is on our CD."
If the EP's savage rock and pop-laced hooks aren't enough to win over listeners, then Pinnock reckons the noise of Taverna's stunt should give guys an added incentive to get a copy.
"I always tell people they need this CD, because if they've got a Datsun or a shitbox you can crank the beginning of track number four when you take off from the lights and chicks will just drop dead all around," she says, then explodes into a peal of laughter. "They'll be falling at your feet."

If you're ready to commit to a loving best friend who needs a home, then a shelter dog is waiting for you at The Las Vegas Animal Foundation "Doggone Home" event, Thursday, September 4 through Sunday, September 7 from 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. at both adoption locations.
Shelters across the Las Vegas valley have been overloaded with cats and dogs, and this event behing held by the Animal Foundation, has one goal: find a healthy, loving home for every animal left behind. They recently waived fees on cats/kittens and may do that again in the near future. This week, their focus is adopting out dogs.
Three things you should know first before heading down to the shelter:
1. Donations are encouraged - any amount will help pay for microchips, neutering, spaying, food, beds.
2. Bring family members to meet and greet the dog you may choose, and a valid ID along with proof of current address, ex: utility bill.
3. Be prepared to wait. Lines may be long, and it takes time to find the right forever friend.
And one final thought. If you are not willing to commit to the long haul with a shelter animal, then perhaps reconsider adopting a pet. There's nothing worse than taking home a lonely animal, only to have their heart broken again when someone decides they don't want them after all.
Doggone Home Event: Sept. 4 - Sept. 7 from 11 a.m.-7 p.m.
First Location: The Animal Foundation Campus/655 N. Mohave Road Las Vegas, Nevada 89101/ 702-384-3333
Second Location: Pet Smart Charities Everyday Adoptions/ 286 W. Lake Mead Parkway Henderson, Nevada 89015 702-558-9326

Al-Shabaab, the terror network operating in Somalia and surrounding countries experienced some of the best the U.S. military had to offer with air strikes that came from high above late yesterday. Preliminary reports indicate 6 militants were killed in the first wave of strikes; the offensive is far from over.
A U.S. drone targeted the extremist group's self-appointed leader, Ahmed Abdi Godane (also known as Mukhtar Abu Zubeyr) as he left a meeting of al-Shabaab commanders. The Pentagon has not said if he was killed in the drone strike. An unnamed Somalia official said the attack took place in a forest near the Sablale district south of the capital of Mogadishu.
The Pentagon had little to say about how long the U.S. military intervention might last nor if the Sailors and Marines aboard the CH-53E that crashed into the Arabian Sea yesterday were involved in the mission.
The Bataan Amphibious Ready Group, to include the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit, has been extended in their area of operation, the Arabian Gulf, by the Secretary of Defense until the first part of October.
After the U.S. drone strike last night, masked militants arrested dozens of residents they suspected of spying for the U.S.

Another Youngstown State University vice president is leaving, widening the leadership gap at the university.
R. Scott Evans, vice president of university advancement, is returning to Lake Erie College in Painesville, where he will serve as senior vice president for institutional advancement and chief of the president's staff, the No. 2 job at the school.
He came to YSU from Lake Erie in 2012 after working at that college for about six years.
Evans said he was contacted by the college's president about the job.
"It was just a great opportunity where it was close to home," Evans said. "This was a big family decision for us with two kids in high school up there. Kids are only that age once. I'm at that point where I can't move them right now. This made a lot of sense."
Evans has been commuting from his home in Lake County. His last day will be May 20.
"During his brief tenure at YSU, Scott played a key leadership role in the Division of University Advancement and on the president's Cabinet," Ikram Khawaja, interim president, said in the press release announcing Evans' departure. "He will be missed, and we wish him well."
He said he will be in discussion with university trustees and others on campus regarding the best way to approach selecting a new vice president for university advancement.
Evans said in the release that he's grateful for the opportunities and experiences he had at YSU and the relationships he developed with the people of the Mahoning Valley. He said his decision to leave wasn't an issue of him being concerned about the status of YSU.
"YSU is a great place," Evans said. "The people here, the programs are outstanding — they're all things that everyone here should be proud of and I think it will thrive in the future."
Evans' departure is the latest from YSU's upper administration in recent months. Gene Grilli, vice president for finance and administration, left in February to take a position at another university. Randy J. Dunn resigned in March after only eight months as president to become president at Southern Illinois University. Khawaja, long-time provost and vice president for academic affairs before his appointment as interim president, will retire June 30.
Hmmm. Perhaps YSU is loosing upper end management because people are finally sick of all the stuffed shirt's who are running everyone out the door with contracts and red tape.
Of course he can't say he's concerned about the status of YSU, no one leaving would--it'd be unprofessional but geeez look at the turnover here--besides the VPs mentioned in the article, 3 of 5 deans on the job market. Clearly there is a huge problem at the university. People see the direction the clueless and incompetent Board of Trustees is taking the university and any that can get out will.
YSU is a wonderful institution that has tried to advance many that should never have been advanced. The BOT has dumped on every worthy top executive that wouldn't play the Good Ol' Boys game. Many in top-middle management positions think they run the institution and are ruining the vary fiber of what made YSU great. Some just need to retire and let those that have real dedication and love for the institution do what they do best.
It's over staffing and "feather bedding" pure and simple. What exactly, pray tell, is a "Vice President for University Advancement". Sounds a bit vague too me- if he's leaving that job, maybe it's a job category that shouldn't have been created in the first place- How much did he make? And what did he accomplish that made his job that important. Sounds like feather bedding and over staffing to me.
Translated into real terms- a "Vice President for University Advancement"- would be like a Plumber hiring a First Assistant to cut the Pipe to size, another assistant to sand the end and then somebody else to apply the flux- finally, the Plumber comes in and solders the ends together. In other words, four people to do the job of one.
But that's the way it works in Academia- and were all supposed to genuflect and say "Hallelujah" instead of asking critical questions: what, exactly, is the job description of a "Vice-President for Academic Advancement" and does a University (designed to teach students at the lowest possible taxpayer and tuition cost) need such a position.
Kurt, good question brother.
Abe, I never spent a minute's time in Academia- except as a student and from that experience I got a good whiff of the kind of self-serving bunkum and mendacity common there. I translated that experience into my comment that a "Vice-President for University Advancement" sounded a bit vague and called it 'feather bedding" and "over-staffing" like a plumber hiring three assistants to do his job for him.

ALABAMA-MISSISSIPPI STATE SERIES: Alabama holds a 75-18-3 lead over Mississippi State in a series that dates back to the 1896 season. The Mississippi State series is tied for the second-longest continuously played series in the Alabama record book, dating back to the 1948 season. The two border rivals will be meeting for the 98th time this weekend in Tuscaloosa. Alabama has played more games (97) and has more wins (75) against Mississippi State than any other opponent on record. The Tide and Bulldogs first met in 1896 with the Crimson Tide posting a 20-0 win in Tuscaloosa. Mississippi State posted its first win with an 11-0 victory in Columbus, Miss., during the 1903 season. The Crimson Tide's 21-10 win in 1975 was the school's 750th all-time football game. From 1958-79, Alabama posted a 22-game winning streak in the series. The 22-game winning streak is the longest in series history. State ended that streak by upsetting No. 1 ranked Alabama, 6-3, on Nov. 1, 1980, at Mississippi Memorial Stadium in Jackson. That 6-3 win also snapped Alabama's school and SEC-record 28-game winning streak. The Tide won the next 15 games in the series from 1981-95 before MSU ended the streak with a 17-16 win on Nov. 16, 1996, at Scott Field. The one-point win was State's first on-campus win over the Tide and first in the state of Mississippi since 1980. Mississippi State followed up that victory with wins in 1997 and 1998, giving the Bulldogs three straight wins over Alabama. The three-game winning streak from 1996-98 equaled the longest in series history by the Bulldogs. State also won three straight games from 1912-14. Alabama ended a two-game series losing streak with a 32-7 win on Nov. 15, 2008, at Bryant-Denny Stadium and have won five straight in the series by an average of 31.0-6.8 ppg (155-34).
SABAN VS. MISSISSIPPI STATE: Alabama head coach Nick Saban is 10-1 in his career against Mississippi State, with his only loss coming in his first visit to Starkville as the Tide's head coach in 2007. Saban is 5-1 against the Bulldogs in his first six years at Alabama, winning 38-7 last season in Tuscaloosa, 24-7 in Starkville a year before that and 30-10 during the 2010 season in Tuscaloosa. Alabama posted a 31-3 victory in Starkville in 2009 after winning 32-7 on Nov. 15, 2008, in Tuscaloosa. The Tide fell 17-12 in Starkville in 2007. Saban was 5-0 against Mississippi State while serving as head coach at LSU from 2000-04. The Tigers outscored the Bulldogs, 214-57, in those five games. Alabama has outscored MSU 155-34 in the last five games and 167-61 during Saban's tenure.
STATE IS TIDE'S MOST REGULARLY-PLAYED FOE: Alabama has played more games against Mississippi State than any other opponent. The two border rivals will be meeting for the 98th time on the gridiron this Saturday. Mississippi State (97), Tennessee (96) and Vanderbilt (82) are the only three opponents the Crimson Tide has played at least 80 times. In addition, the Mississippi State game is the fifth oldest series in the UA record books as the two teams first met in 1896. The Mississippi State and Auburn series' are tied for the second-longest running series in the UA record books (64 games), both starting in 1948. Alabama will face Auburn on the Plains on Nov. 30. The Tennessee game is the longest current running series in the UA record books. Tennessee and Alabama met for the 83rd consecutive year (neither team fielded a squad in 1943) earlier this year in Tuscaloosa.
NEXT GAME: Alabama returns home for the final contest of the 2013 season at Bryant-Denny Stadium against Chattanooga. The Crimson Tide has won all 11 meetings in the series, with the most recent coming in the 2009 season (45-0).

Nothing makes the Queen or King of the household more happy than living in stress free and peaceful surroundings. Unfortunately when living with children, young adults and the man cave, their messy rooms often create screaming from the head-of-the-household who is ready to run away. HomeGoods is the perfect place for one to run to for great items to find to get and actually keep the rooms organized for a beautiful decor.
De-stress by shopping for beautiful pieces to organize and beautify any room.
Mess creates stress on everyone; Mom is left shouting without anyone listening, the kids answer yes and run out to play without picking up, and Dad will often just put on his man-cave earphones to ignore the situation.
Take the family on a trip to HomeGoods and head for the "Home Management Department". Discover not only the ordinary organizing items, but also unusual finds that will keep a room organized in beautiful plain sight. Wander into the other store departments, such as Kitchen, Bath and Decor, for out-of-the-box organizing idea finds as well.
Just a few new furnishings can transform a mess into a room that will stay organized and beautiful.
Getting the kids and young adults to keeping their rooms neat, clean and organized can be accomplished with a few simple tips.
- Have the room's occupants be part of the decision making in choosing decor pieces to organize.
- Make the shopping trip into a treasure hunt searching for unusual finds that may keep items shipshape.
With no-mess ideas the kids' and young adults' bedrooms can easily be kept organized and beautiful.
Thinking, shopping and decorating smartly will finally conquer the demons that are turning the decor into a mountain of disorganization.
- First get the room cleaned out; throw or give away clothes, toys, books and anything else that has been outgrown or is not used.
Don't give in to tears... If it is not being used or worn and will never be used or worn again then get rid of it. No young adult needs a bed or bookcase filled with stuff animals anymore. Let them keep a couple that hold memories and get rid of the rest. School books can be passed on to others and novels can now be read on electronic tablets.
- Once the room in cleared of the unused mountains of mess evaluate the furnishings.
The dresser is obviously used to house clothing, but bookcases without books can now be used to hold neatly folded sweaters. Bins and boxes on shelves can keep toys, electronics and office supplies hidden in plain sight.
- The closet is more than just a place to hang clothes and toss shoes into.
Depending on the closet size, configuration and shelving with the proper organizational items toys, blankets and folded clothes can also be kept neatly hidden away in the closet.
Shopping at HomeGoods is the perfect place to experience great happy finds to turn the room into organized splendor.
The HomeGoods "Home Management Department" has cool finds and more excitement will fill the air as new items are discovered in other departments as well. Ideas fill heads picturing how to use the new found treasures to pick up and decorate the room to keep the mess at bay.
Boxes and bins in all sizes and shapes organize without a fuss.
- Beautiful bins in patterned soft fabrics are perfect to slip into a bookcases to hold clothes, pocketbooks and blankets.
- Woven basket boxes can fit on to a shelf or keep stacked to hold toys.
- Wooden boxes with a blackboard panel are perfect for placing on a bookshelf or stacked to keep small electronics, makeup and keepsakes. Neatly write on the blackboard with chalk to show what's hidden inside.
- Use large fabric bins to toss shoes into and keep stored on the shelf above the rod in the closet.
- Small flat boxes in different sizes are great to keep in the desk and night table draws to keep small items in their place. Tapes, staplers and paper clips being kept in their own little home will no longer take over an entire drawer.
Closet organizers can be used for what they are meant for and more than just the obvious.
- Over the door shoe organizers are not necessarily just for shoes. Keep scarves and belts neatly rolled in the pockets. Organize the hair blowers and straighteners. The pockets fit small toys and stuffed toys perfectly.
- Over the rod fabric shelving is perfect to keep sweaters, shoes, belts and more in organized order.
- A cool jewelry keeper on a hanger neatly keeps all jewelry items in their place for quick finding and easy putting away.
- Flat hangers are specifically made to hold more clothes in the smaller sized closets.
Unique decor and gift items add interest when being used for organization beautification.
- Mason Jars found in the Kitchen Department keep small items from taking over a surface or draw space. Keep nail polish in a jar. Make-up can neatly be seen in the pretty jar. Office supplies and any small items can quickly be found neatly stored upon a shelf in a jar.
- Beautiful gift boxes are perfect to place on shelves to neatly organize away small items that would otherwise take over any smooth surface available.
- A decorative shelving unit found in the Furnishing Department can be placed upon a dresser or hung on the wall and used to neatly store small items hidden away in mason jars or boxes.
- Over the cabinet shelving found in the Bath Department are perfect to hang off of the rail on a loft or bunk bed to fit necessary needs up at sleep level such as storing a tissue box, phone and remote.
- A storage ottoman can be turned into a file cabinet, or a toy or blanket chest.
Finally, a beautiful room that is neat and organized and will be able to be kept in that manner without much fuss. Now everyone in the house can live stress free and comfortable among their belongings in a decor worthy of entertaining and relaxing in.
Take a deep sigh as you say to yourself "The battle is over." Relish the beautiful organization accomplished and never be afraid to dance!
Enjoy the standing ovation as folks cross your threshold complimenting the decor. Never be afraid to dance!

Kirstin Arndts work deals with the possibilities of being in time and space. She is interested in the fruition of the image/picture. Her works are temporary statements of analysis and research about different aspects of the entity of artworks. Arndt uses a wide variety of materials in her work usually reminiscent of construction materials and uses their form, colour, shape and texture to create boldly dramatic installations and compositions that display a sophisticated knowledge of line, surface, volume, space and time. Arndt divided her residency in two, initially coming during the month of November 2005 for a research visit and returning in 2006 to complete her stay at IMMA.

AROC Intensity of Therapy Project
Invitation to participate
AROC is inviting all member facilities to participate in a study to look at the impact of the intensity of therapy on rehabilitation outcomes for inpatients in sub‐acute care in Australia.
Anecdotally we know that there is a lot of interest in this area, but there is little evidence available specifically for the Australian rehabilitation setting. A review of the international literature supports the view that increased intensity of therapy may confer a range of benefits such as earlier functional gains and reduced length of hospital stay, depending on a range of factors such as the person's impairment.
The AROC study will examine a range of factors including whether there is variation in the amount of therapy which inpatients in the sub‐acute rehabilitation setting in Australia receive and if so, whether there is a correlation between therapy intensity and patient outcomes, such as length of stay and changes in function.
In addition to the usual AROC data collection, members choosing to participate will be asked to collect and submit details about the rehabilitation therapy provided to individual patients, such as the therapy discipline providing treatment, whether the therapy was provided in an individual or group setting and the duration of the therapy provided at each session. There will be a range of options for data collection and submission, including:
• Services already collecting the required information in a database may choose to submit that data electronically, rather than using the AROC supplied tools
• Secure web based data entry system
• Paper based data collection form.
Data is to be collected for 12 continuous weeks. Participating services may choose a convenient start date between now and 1 May 2012 and then collect data for all new admissions over the following 12 weeks. Data will then be linked to the existing AROC inpatient data collection.
Ethics approval for this study has been gained from the University of Wollongong / Illawarra Local Health District Human Research Ethics Committee.
If you are interested in participating or would like further information please contact Jacquelin Capell at email@example.com or by telephone on (02) 4221 4687.

"The Accident" is Chris Pavone's follow up novel to the excellent "The Expats". Unfortunately, this novel is just not as compelling or as enjoyable a read. While the two books share a couple of characters - Kate Moore and Hayden are both characters in The Expats - and a similar universe, the reality is that Kate Moore's inclusion in this novel is so brief and inconsequential, that she merely serves as a stock character, included, along with her "intelligence" boss Hayden solely to tie the two books together.
"The Accident" is also not very likable. It seems more orchestrated than most thrillers - with a lot of moving parts and mysteries revealed in the very last few pages. The prose is split into different view points, with each character having a chapter and the novel moving back and forth from character to character, chapter to chapter. Of course, many of the characters have hidden agendas, which is to be expected in a thriller - espionage book hybrid, but its hard to follow all of the view points and characters out of the gate. It is not until the middle third of the book that it starts to come together. It was hard to stay riveted to either the characters or the story.
That is really unfortunate because there is the nugget of a good story here. An anonymous author has written an expose like manuscript about Charles Wolfe, a media mogul, who apparently has a lot of skeletons in his background - specifically the car accident of the title, but also a secret pact with an intelligence service. Hayden, who ran the intelligence service, apparently set up people in various ways and provided prior knowledge of same to Wolfe who published their failures or even deaths in his media empire. While Wolfe made millions he was complicit in using his news organization to advance Hayden's hidden agenda.
The author of the expose is known to both Wolfe and Hayden. The author suspects that Wolfe and Hayden will not want the expose published. So he takes steps to hide from them. But he still wants to publish his book. Its a cat and mouse tale.
Since Wolfe knows the publishing industry and the author of the manuscript, he is able to tell Hayden about the author's past and provide hints as to where the author might send the book for publication. But the author still manages to send the book to Isabel Reed, a book agent, who provides a copy to an editor to review and her assistant to read. Meanwhile the assistant talks up the manuscript at a party and soon there are multiple copies of the book in play and all bets are off as to whether Wolfe and Hayden can stop it from being eventually published.
However, Hayden will stop at no nothing to stop the publication of the book, and will chase down anyone, who he even thinks has a copy. And death follows in his wake. While you may think Hayden works for a major intelligence service -- its clear in the end he really works for no one but himself.
Will Hayden stop Isabel Reed from publishing the book? Will we find out who is the author? What other mysteries will be revealed?
It turns out that the ending is anti-climatic. The big reveal in the end of the novel is a whisper on the wind barely worth waiting to find out and not all that surprising.
"The Expats" was a winner. "The Accident" is interesting, dry, bloody, full of action, but not as much fun or as good.

I'm normally not a resolutions kind of gal, but this year I'm (slightly) turning a new leaf. In 2014, I'm hoping to do two very attainable, realistic things that I've alluded for too long: learn to like mushrooms and take an online coding class.
Silly? Possibly. But I've said I've hated mushrooms and have wanted to learn code for years without actually giving either much of a shot. Conquering my dislike (or fear? I don't really know what it is.) of mushrooms would absolutely thrill Eric, while having a better understanding of HTML code will be a great professional resume booster. Also, I'm kind of excited about coding–the nerd in me is dying to learn something new.
Some mushroomy recipes I'd like to try include Mushroom Chicken Noodle Soup (above), Mushroom Fontina Nachos, and Mac N Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms, courtesy of my favorite new blog (thanks, Kara!). As for coding classes, I've heard that both Codecademy and Girl Develop It are great online resources. But I'm certainly open to suggestions if you have any!

Harley had brought Pussy Cat in to let her favorite henchmen gang-bang, when she saw that Ivy still hadn't given in. Bane and Killer Croc had unleashed their loads into her many times, and she had still yet to be converted. She had them stop so she could
try a different approach. Ivy was to weak to even move, as Harley placed a pair of Vibrator Panties on her.
"Ohhhhhh!" Ivy cried out as the dildo rapidly vibrated in her cunt. Just then Harley placed a chastity belt around it, and locked it. Now, Ivy couldn't remove them.
"Now, when ya become nice and slutty, I wants ya to beg and I'll remove those for ya. Til' then, have fun!" Harley said. "Alright boys, ya can start!" she said. As she gave the command Bane and Killer Croc began gang-banging Selina right in front of Ivy, forcing
her to watch every moment.
Black Bat, now Bitch Bat, had been converted to the Pink Lantern light. She was now forever a lustful slave of the Pink Lanterns. She had been born and raised to be the ultimate weapon, but now, all she cared about was sex!
Dick had her get in the Batmobile and take off most of her costume. She kept her cape and mask on. However, she cut a small slit in the mask, so she could wear it while sucking cock, which she wanted. As Nightwing drove her to Arkham to present her to Harley,
Bitch Bat sucked Dick's dick, the whole way there.
Just like Ice did, Fire greeted the other guests naked, and quickly got them to fuck her. Having Plastic Man's and Aquaman's cocks up her ass, while Bwanna Beast and Shazam fucked her cunt.
She also began sucking on the cock of her boytoy Booster Gold, as Ice sucked on her's Guy Gardner, while she had Green Arrow's and Blue Beetle' dicks up her arctic ass, as Flash and Kyle Rayner fucked her polar pussy.
Finally, after a few hours rest Lois Lane got up, ready to fuck some more, and just in time, as the last few guests showed up.
Wonder Whore arrived on the Watchtower, and began looking for the few men currently stationed there so she could convert them.

Live Scoring
HUTCHINSON, Kansas -- No. 8 Washington had a very short day at Prairie Dunes Country Club on Sunday, playing just a couple holes to finish off Saturday's second round. The Dawgs then waited for the rest of the field to finish and find out what was next.
Washington played a total of just nine holes to complete round two, making the most of it with three birdies. Two of those birdies came from Trevor Simsby whose score was not used, however. The Dawgs finished the second round at 7-over 287 and are now at 6-over 556 for the championship.
Despite the short day, Washington moved up five spots to a tie for 11th on the leaderboard as several teams that had much longer days dropped below the Huskies. The Dawgs are just three shots out of the top eight, which is currently held by No. 21 UCLA at 3-over. Washington needs to finish in the top eight through 54 holes to advance to the Tuesday's match play round.
Due to the weather delays all week, Monday's originally scheduled individual championship has been cancelled. Instead, Monday will be for all teams finishing 54 holes with the individual winner coming from those three rounds.
Teams placing 16th through 30th will begin their third round Sunday afternoon. The top-15 teams, including the Huskies, will begin their third round on Monday morning. Tee times have not yet been decided as it will depend on how many holes the bottom-15 teams play Sunday evening.

- Company: Bench
- Price: $120
- Official Site: Bench.com
- Release Date: 2008
When you're shopping for a casual fall topper, ideally you'd like a piece that goes with everything in your wardrobe, protects you from nasty weather, and doesn't cost the earth. This easy-to-wear, acrylic-wool blend, black zip-up cropped jacket from Bench fits that bill, flatters most body types, and will give your wardrobe a young, hip edge. It's also easy to care for because it can be thrown straight into the washer. Wear it with jeans, sneakers and any T-shirt in your closet when you're running about town or you're chilling in your downtime.
Even though it's all black, this jacket can hardly be called a boring basic. The addition of contrasting polyamide fabric to the drawstring hood, front and chest gives this piece a sporty, almost motocross feel. The acrylic and wool body, however, lend a cozy element to this sweater jacket. Together, the combination of a ribbed sweater and water-repellant detailing make for a highly unique but functional cover-up that trend-conscious guys will dig. Another point worthy of mention is that this sweater is a great alternative to a cropped, casual leather jacket, but it's priced significantly lower.
Although it's quite trendy, this sweater jacket will likely appear just as spot-on in two years as it does now because it lacks details, such as an unusual print or bold color, that will relegate it to a specific time. Another reason you don't have to worry about this jacket going out of style is that you almost certainly won't own it for more than two years before it breaks down. Acrylic is a man-made fabric that develops unattractive pills (little balls) easily and it also won't take much to tear the contrasting polyamide panels and hood. Weather-wise, you'll mostly wear this sweater in the fall and spring, so at most, you should anticipate getting four seasons of use out of it. On the plus side, this hooded top is an easy way to add style to an everyday uniform of jeans and a tee. At $120, you might be paying a little more than you should for this jacket, but it's not extravagant.

Now most times a hiker can come down here and be inspired by the waterfall that flows. But after a dry spell and absolutely no snow accumulation this last winter, the waterfall has gone into quiet mode. This Examiner missed the fast flowing waterfall and the wonderful intense sound it made; which was always present when he reached it.
But this beauty still has a little life left even now and you can count on it to return in full strength again in the near future. This should not however prevent you from moving on up the mountain and getting a good hike in.
Walk past the trail entrance to the waterfall on the blue white trail and circle around on the blue trail to an unmarked path. If you go left this trail easily carries thru-travelers of all kinds through to the power lines. Power lines here have become a little known short cut to the Shenipsit Trail and a back way into the Case Mountain Park in Manchester CT.
Now that is a really big trail system, so stick to the blue trail for a long venture and turn back on either of the two trails (right turns) one is an unmarked Green trail or just keep following the blue trail. These old trails appear to be cleared fire roads and have easy access back to the blue white trail which you started out on.
On this blue trail system, you can cross two peaks and down along the top edge of a valley. Which will lead you along a mountain stream turning left following the blue trail up the opposite side of the valley. However left turns onto unmarked pathways along the blue trail will lead you directly through open space into the back forest of Gay City Park.
If you do come down here this spring; pick a day after a rainy day, so you can expect some life from these ancient falls. Once your up near the falls, take a look around you there are some unusual stone piles all around.
Could this be the ancient fire pits of a campers, burial site of native Americans, or some farmers idea of markers? Whatever the cause it's pretty cool and eerie that all the pictures I took of the stones came out blurry and they seem to be the only blurry shots for the day. Look yourself, at the end of the slideshow you can just make out the stone piles.

I need help. I am under psychospiritual attack, etc.
Poster Handle
Post Content
Beginning about a year ago I started becoming aware that I was being attacked by others who somehow or another were able to get inside my brain. At times I would think things that were totally uncharacteristic of me. I was offended by the thoughts entering my own mind! For reasons I will not get into I began to believe that these thoughts were being 'planted' in my brain via subliminal neurolinguistical programming and other mechanisms, dream inceptions, and what I can only describe as brute force attacks on my psychospiritual well being.
Now I made some horrible choices growing up and by the grace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ I was set free from some pretty horrible bondage and healed in a very powerful way. I walked with the Lord for some time and then found myself slipping back into old habits. As the scripture reads-I was attacked by 7 spirits worse than the first with lust and paranoia stemming from drugs & conspiracy research.
Around the middle of this past summer the Lord really set me free in a powerful way AGAIN! This goes to show that He is slow to anger, rich in kindness, loving, forgiving, faithful, and true, but I also experienced some pretty stern chastisement and disciplined which I am encouraged by because it means He loves me and has not turned away from me.
I think I am being attacked by spiritual entities. I have various symptoms ranging from thought patterns uncharacteristic of me, bizarre delusions, and psychosomatic symptoms such as feeling these non materials entities either hit me, or enter my body, or something. Oftentimes a loud sound will resonate within me and shake whatever it is out of me. This is merely a brief explanation of my experiences of the past year, as most of the things I have experienced are so far out there few would believe, and I'm not even sure what is true as I try to make sense of my life experiences in light of the strange occurrences which have played out over the past few years-this year in particular.
I used to be a social person able to go out and have a good time but this sudden change in me has caused me severe anxiety wherever I go.
I need to say that I do find much solace and relief from these symptoms when I pray and read the bible in isolation, but when I go to Church to worship I find myself experiencing terrible anxiety as I struggle with the terribly offensive, blasphemous, and oftentimes disgusting thoughts in my mind.
I need help, and I don't know what to do. I know I am not the only one who has experienced these things but I am not able to explain them entirely, but I have woken up to many disturbing realities recently. I continue to put my faith and hope in the Love of God-in Christ Jesus, but even when I pray I come under attack.
I have cut out most all sin in my life including drugs, pornography and masturbation, but I still struggle with letting go of cigarettes. The stress and anxiety from the experiences I have been through have caused me a sort of PTSD, but I believe I deserve worse for some of the things I've done in the past.
I am attacked in my dreams with people trying to put thoughts in my head-I've caught them-and while I am awake. They do things like associative programming which I have mentioned but one disturbing thing I find these abusers able to do is cause physical sensations in my body like tingling on my body (especially in my genital areas) and I feel extremely violated. It is like whoever is doing this to me has direct access to my brain and is able to stimulate certain parts of my brain to trigger these thoughts and sensations.
I have attempted in earnest to understand what is happening to me, and how it is happening (e.g. how it is physically possible), and have narrowed down to the possibility that this is either purely spiritual, purely technological, or a combination of both. I am convinced it is the latter. Am I 'chipped'? If so where is the chip (micro circuit/stimoceiver) and how do I remove it? Is this nano-particles? Dentistry? Are these particles in our water (sodium fluoride can be used to 'non-invasive remotely monitor glucose gradients in the body for example), food, air (chemtrails), etc? I am a seeker of truth and spend a lot of time trying to understand this so I can end my plight. Is this possible by electromagnetic waves alone? Cell phones, computers, televisions, radio towers, cell phone towers, satellite, HAARP, etc?
I am interested in answers, but more importantly I am interested in determining what I must do in order for this abuse to stop. It is like spiritual warfare, and I try to be equipped with the full Armor of God, yet this seems insufficient. I sometimes am so frustrated by my inability to stop these attacks that I want to lash out in anger, but as the Bible teaches us our anger can not make us pleasing to God. I want to learn how to protect myself, and maybe even be more proactive in warding off these attacks. Anyone with answers feel free to send me an e-mail: email@example.com.
I don't expect this thread to receive much attention and wouldn't be surprised if I am banned again after posting it. I also wouldn't be surprised if it simply disappears. I hope someone can give me answers. Are we living in the tribulation?

The origins of this small sculpture lie in a commission Lipchitz received from the designer Coco Chanel for a pair of firedogs for a rococo-style fireplace. He designed each of the firedogs in the form of a reclining woman, composed from figure-of-eight curves. Chanel then commissioned him to make a sculpture for her garden, for which this is a study. The garden sculpture was never completed, but the study, which drew on the earlier work, was an important new departure for Lipchitz in its curvilinear shapes and its subject of a reclining woman. It is also one of the first hand-sized modelled maquettes made by the artist.

How do you secure your bedroom shotgun for defense given there is no room for a safe and no closets? What systems do you use? Do you unlock it before bed and relock it in the morning?

How do you secure your bedroom shotgun for defense given there is no room for a safe and no closets? What systems do you use? Do you unlock it before bed and relock it in the morning?
You don't mention if you have children. This makes a big difference. If no children are around, then leave it loaded and ready to go. If you have company, unload it, lock it and put it away somewhere.
If children are around, you might want to try and keep you bedroom door locked. This keeps the gun ready, but the kids away.
I have also heard of some people mounting theirs behind the headboard, on hooks, if you have one.
Hope that helps,
You may also want to check magnet mounting:
Quick Draw Gun Magnets
My bedroom is also my gun vault.
One side is dirt and mortar and probably cement blocks. The other sides just cannot be busted through.
The door frame and door are both reinforced, and it has a quality lock on it.
It's locked whenever I'm not home, and sometimes when I am.

Under the bed, takes up very little room:
the big question is if you have children or not...IMO that changes how you have to store the HD shotgun. w/o you can leave it loaded and ready in a corner or under the bed....then only have to worry about guests, and if they snoop in your bedroom...as many place guest coats on the bed, etc.
with kids takes much more planning...if very small then maybe not putting one in the chamber might work for a while...but if they are 3-4, then things have to change again...
there is a device called the piecekeeper...
www.piecekeeper.com....i think
or some sort of locked case....without knowing your situation..it is hard to advise.
got no kids all grown next to bed fine
Well, wouldn't you know it.....I'm currently shotgunless. Darn the luck. Here's what I would do, and yes, I've kept the previous Mossberg 500 and Ithaca 37 next to me at night as well as the 1911 under the pillow. That being said---locks?--to hell with them. Keep the shotty out under the bed, between mattress and springs, or in the corner. Thing is---load and unload as necessary. Keep that baby empty when not at DEFCON 2. Your box of shotshells and choice of SD ammo can be kept under clothes in a dresser drawer, or anywhere. Out of sight, out of reach, out of the places where it could possibly be looked for. Load her up at night or when you get home. Change the location of ammo like you would the password on your computer. Be creative. By the way---I always kept my shotguns mag full but without chambered round, hammer dropped so it was ready to rack. I've always believed in pumps vs autoloaders. I also slept alone for my last 16 years of my first marriage.Quote:

Ramrod...you didn't sleep alone for those 16 years.....you had the trusty 1911 under your pillow!!!!
no kids so "hidden in plain sight". fake cover that can be gotten to.
you might want one of these www.mossberg.com
I have heard in the closet um up above behind the back of the closet if that makes sense? I dunno I saw it on youtube a video that described where this guy hid his HD shotgun.
No safe...or no room for a safe? How many guns? Just a shotgun? I believe I would find, or make a way to hide your weapon when not at home. Up under the bed, behind/under a dresser, or some other non-obvious place.
With no kids, options are pretty easy when home, my concern would be when I leave for work or travel. I have two safes, and it makes for much less worry when gone.
When home, the safe is open with my coach gun and ammo available just a grab away...I still have my Kimber either on my person or only a few feet away.
Stay armed...at home, too...stay safe!
My M1 carbine hangs on a pair of bicycle hooks inside my closet above the door.
To see it you have to step in the closet and turn around, but I can easily open the door and reach up and grab it.
Funny you mention that, Me and my buddy are trying to come up with a Lamp mount. We were thinking sometimes the most obvious place is the hardest to find. If your a BG.
I thought about taking an old lamp Putting in a wooding rod in the base that the barrel actual would go over. The Shotgun would double as the lamp post and rig the shade to the stock of the gun,in a fashion that if needed you could grab the grip of the gun pull up, the shade would fall off and you would have your gun.

One of my favorite things about quilt-alongs is not that you don't just learn how to cut up your fabric and piece it back together again—you can also learn about design. And design, of course, really happens in the planning stages. So that's what we're going to discuss today—how to plan our your quilt and combine fabrics to make the most of this particular design. Really fun stuff for design nerds like me. : )
(I know many of you purchased a Bloom Bloom Pow fabric bundle, which means you have exactly the same fabric as me. If you're planning to mimic my quilt and color placement, this design-planning post probably isn't crucial for you. But if you want to make any changes to my design, such as the colors used, prints used, or color placement within the quilt, this post will give you a framework for doing just that!)
Let's start by looking at this lovely photo of my Bloom Bloom Pow quilt bundle, available from Westwood Acres. (Photo courtesy of Amanda.)
From there I separated the Pearl Bracelet prints into the following groups:
If you would like to grab the Quilt-Along button for your blog, please do. And don't forget to post photos of what your quilt-along progress in my Flickr group—and yes, fabric stacks count as progress! : ) See you next week!

Bethenny Frankel may finally be returning to "The Real Housewives of New York City."
According to a new report, the Skinnygirl mogul is in "formal talks" with Bravo to rejoin the cast, which includes Ramona Singer, Sonja Morgan and LuAnn de Lesseps, as a guest star.
"Bravo has told Bethenny she could return as a special guest star, which wouldn't require as much filming, which is appealing to her," a source told Radar Online on Aug. 6.
Frankel initially left "The Real Housewives of New York City" ahead of season four to star in her own spinoff show with Jason Hoppy, titled "Bethenny Getting Married." The series followed Frankel as she and Hoppy made their journey down the aisle -- with her pregnant. Months later, Frankel gave birth to their daughter and their show was renamed "Bethenny Ever After."
"Bethenny Ever After" went off the air after three seasons.
According to the Radar Online source, producers of "The Real Housewives of New York City" are hoping to give ratings a boost with the help of Frankel's guest appearance. Since season four, ratings have continued to drop and if they don't do something soon, there's going to be no chance for the series' success.
Currently, Frankel is in a relationship with Michael "Mac" Cerussi. The pair appeared publicly for the first time around New Year's 2014 and have been laying low ever since. However, at the end of last month, they surfaced on a paddle board in New York.
No word yet on whether Cerussi would be appearing alongside Frankel if she returns to Bravo.

Philadelphia 76ers to Conduct Basketball Camp in Wilmington for Participants of the "Above the Rim" Basketball League
Posted on 07/16/2013 2:06 pm
Team players and staff from the Philadelphia 76ers pro basketball team will be in Wilmington tomorrow (Wednesday, July 17) to help celebrate the inaugural year of the "Above The Rim" community basketball league which is based in the Browntown/Hedgeville section of Wilmington. The 76ers will hold a basketball camp for the young student/community athletes who participate in the league on Wednesday afternoon at the PAL Center located at 3707 Market Street. The 76ers camp will be in session from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
6th District City Council Member Sherry Dorsey Walker, with support from the Browntown Civic Association's Kidz Klub and the 6th District Blueprint Community, was instrumental in starting the local basketball league.
"The 76ers read about the league and were very impressed with what the community and the young athletes have accomplished, so they contacted Peter Martin who is the Athletic Director for our league," said Council Member Dorsey Walker. "We couldn't be more proud of the fact that the pro athletes and staff of the 76ers reached out to us to show their support for what we are doing. This is a real tribute to the community and especially to the young people and their coaches who have made the league a great success."
The "Above the Rim" League is open to young people between the ages of 9 to 18 who exhibit good behavior, good grades in school, and respect for their families. The athletes also perform at least one hour of community service each week. Games are staged throughout the year in a gym belonging to Parkway Academy (the former St. Hedwig's School) located at 1009 Sycamore Street. Because the 76ers camp requires the use of multiple basketball courts, Wednesday's camp will take place at the local PAL center.
Council Member Dorsey Walker today also paid tribute to her fellow Council Members for their support of the league including Council President Theo Gregory, Loretta Walsh (D-At Large), Maria Cabrera (D-At Large), Michael A. Brown, Sr. (R-At Large), Robert Williams (D-7th District), Nnamdi Chukwuocha (D-1st District) and Ernest "Trippi" Congo (D-2nd District). The Council Member said it has continued to grow in popularity among young people throughout the 6th District with an eye toward expanding the league to other areas of the City in the future.
Because of space limitations, Wednesday's 76ers basketball camp is not open to the public but is being held to offer basketball skills and knowledge to the scores of male and females athletes who are registered with the "Above the Rim" league.

1) This was done while one of the 2 pilots was "away"
2) The "away" pilot never noticed the change - which is highly unlikely
In the end, you have to trust your pilots, even if there is the very rare instance of them doing something wrong. You just can't take the human factor out of everything.
What this does show is that you need an international agency in charge of flight accident investigations, with authority and access to all necessary information from all countries. Of course that will never happen due to sovereignty issues.
if they get to build bitchin' vehicles.
If this was any number of television shows we would be able to go ENHANCE(!) and read the serial numbers off the (proposed) wreckage.
I understand that you may disagree with my proposal and that's all well and good, but to call it silly, is, well, silly.
CNN guy brought up a point. The imagery comes from Digital Globe, and they're prohibited by US law. They can't release their highest-res imagery to the public, which is believed to be a meter resolution. Which is probably why the Aussies are treating this so seriously.
I have had CNN on in the background while working today. Their current favorite theory is the "zombie plane," and they use the phrase constantly. It's like their marketing department told them zombies are hot right now, everyone likes zombie shows.
You know what sucks? That The Newsroom is ending this season, because I'd have paid good money to see how Sorkin would have done with this.
Woman went to Mecca for yearly communion with God. Came back with superman-like eyes and claimed she saw the plane in Andaman Sea. This wouldn't be so funny except it is being published in Malaysia's premier newspaper! Why do we EVEN entertain such stories and made it headline. Aren't the family distraught enough? I mean, if this is a tabloid, sure I understand, but not a mainstream newspaper!
We have a couple of newspaper on sale on the new stand that are generally regarded as tabloid and they love sensational news. The Star is NOT one of them.
You know, things have been quiet in this thread. It's kinda quiet around here in Malaysia too. What's happening? And it looks like the hoo-haa over the 'debris' in Australia waters went cold. What is happening?
Edit: they are still searching for the debris..
Last edited by habibi; 03-22-2014 at 02:20 AM. Reason: Still searching
Now China came up with an image not very far away from the original spot off Australia. Seems more and more likely that there's something of significance out there - it measures in at around 74'x43' and they've now sent a couple of their planes to join in the search.
I looked up 90 degrees east, 45 south; it is amazingly isolated. The nearest land is 1,500km away at Port-aux-Francais, which doesn't have a runway and has a population of 45. The nearest city, Perth, is 2,600km away, and Perth itself is incredibly isolated, with the nearest city to it another 2,100km away. The water depth is around 10,000 feet.
The New Republic says everything I've been saying since forever:
And Manjoo, being a techno-utopian idiot, really had it coming after he wrote:The New York Times's Farhad Manjoo argues that the "terror" isn't only that we can't find the plane, but being off the grid itself, untethered to our friends and family. I disagree. Our "hyperconnectivity," as he calls it, is the very reason we need this mystery right now. In a moment dominated by the radical adoption of new technology, with reports of the NSAs massive snooping, talk of Amazon drones making deliveries like toilet paper door to your doorstep, or checking the status of a flight through a pair of Google glasses, we need to feel that there is at least something out there that the grand orchestra of satellites and supercomputers cant find or figure out.
When something goes wrong, nowadays, ones first instinct is to check in by text, on social networks, or through some other digital smoke flare. According to stories in the Chinese press, family members of the passengers of Flight 370 had they same instinct. Theyve been calling and messaging their loved ones phones throughout the week. When they call, they hear a ringing tone, giving many hope that passengers phones are still connected to the grid and consequently could be tracked by officials. (Experts say the ringing doesnt mean the phones are still working.)
If it sounds crazy that we keep using our smartphones and tablets despite all we now know about how vulnerable they make us to being monitored by the government and corporations, this is the explanation. At a most basic level, these devices keep us tethered to one another and were willing to make terrific trade-offs in privacy and sanity just to keep that connection. Because when the connection is lost, its terrifying.
We need to figure out what happened to the plane not because of "hyperconnectivity" or NSA snooping or whatever. It's because it would be cold comfort to the families of the next batch of victims if it turns out to be something wrong with the plane or airline's policies that could have been fixed if the investigators hadn't just shrugged and said "Eh, we were okay with it being a mystery." (And the subsequent tidal wave of negligence lawsuits, of course...)
The phones keep ringing because many of them had a last handshake with a cell phone tower in Malaysia. If you're calling from China, it's going through the international routing, and the ringing is most probably just the system trying to find the phone in a foreign country.
True, it could well be that the system isn't especially well configured and played the wrong tone. That's happened to me numerous times. (Some systems can't handle incoming VoIP calls properly ><)

It is 25 years since CBS aired the television adaptation of "Lonesome Dove." In 1989, Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name was made into a four-part television miniseries. The series starred Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Anjelica Huston, Danny Glover and Ricky Schroder.
"Lonesome Dove" had an estimated 26 million viewers, showing Hollywood that the western was not dead. It won seven Emmys and two Golden Globes. It also spawned several sequels and two series.
On Jan. 15, the Autry National Center in Los Angeles will hold its monthly Cowboy Lunch. The theme will be "Lonesome Dove's 25th Anniversary." According to its website, the lunch series "bring[s] together Western filmmakers and other stars with Autry members and other fans of the genre.
"Following each lunch, Hollywood producer Rob Word will host 'A Word on Westerns,' a group discussion based on the particular theme or film of the month."
The monthly lunch takes place in the Crossroads West Café on the grounds of the Autry National Center beginning at 12:30 p.m. Attendance is free. Lunch is not included but can be purchased.
The café has an interesting menu reflecting several cultures that made up California's old west. Included on the menu are Fry Bread Tacos, Buffalo Burgers and a variety of homemade soups and fresh salads. Breakfast items are also served.
