Shadyside has been here before.
Actually, it's made getting to the second round and beyond in the Ohio playoffs a habit.
Mark Holenka and his undefeated Tigers aren't looking to kick that habit anytime soon either.

SHADYSIDE quarterback Austin Dorris follows the blocking of Eric Howell (26) and Hunter Hammond (63) through the hole during a game earlier this season at Meadowbrook. Shadyside's ground game has led it to an 11-0 record and trip to tonight's Division VII, Region 25 semifinal against Caldwell in New Philadelphia.
For the first time in its illustrious playoff history, Shadyside will meet fellow OVAC member Caldwell in the postseason and that comes this evening in New Philadelphia at Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium. Kickoff is slated for 7.
The survivor of the all-OVAC encounter will advance to the Region 21 championship game, which will be played on Nov. 23 at a site to be determined and announced on Sunday by the OHSAA.
On the other half of the bracket sits a meeting of the top seed Glouster Trimble and fourth-seeded Steubenville Central. That game is being played in Zanesville.
Both head coaches are highly fond of the venue in New Philadelphia, but Holenka was a bit surprised the game was sent to Tuscarawas County.
"I love the stadium and atmosphere it creates and going further away (from home) makes it feel like a bigger achievement of advancing," Holenka said. "But, it's kind of a letdown for our fans and Ohio Valley fans who don't feel like driving 90 minutes when we could have driven a half hour or less. We as players and coaches get to go regardless, but our fans are the ones who have to suffer to an extent."
Shadyside was eliminated at New Philadelphia in 2011 by Berlin Center Western Reserve. That was its first loss at Woody Hayes Quaker Stadium.
As for Caldwell head coach Josh Perkins, he would have been willing to play the game on the interstate if need be.
"It's a great facility and there's a lot of tradition in New Philadelphia and at that stadium," Perkins admitted. "We've played well on the road all season, so (the OHSAA) could have sent us wherever they wanted. As long as we're playing, it's fine by us."
While many expected Shadyside to pass its first post-season test with relative ease, Caldwell went on the road to Malvern and posted the school's first playoff victory.
"It's really hard to understand the feeling unless you were a Caldwell Redskin," Perkins said. "We've played football for 110 years and to get that (playoff) monkey off our backs is just an incredible feeling. We're glad it's finally come to an end and we can put the talk about never winning a playoff game to rest."
The Redskins are actually in their seventh appearance in the postseason. Their last tournament game came in 2009.
Many thought the Redskins might have been a year away from enjoying a high level of success since they're such an under-class dominated squad. However, the Redskins players decided to speed up the process.
"Our kids have just battled and continued to improve," Perkins said. "We were 2-8 last season, but they put a ton of time in the off-season and the effort during the summer and into the season has been exceptional. This is great for the community and these kids are really deserving of the success they're having."
Holenka has certainly noticed the steady progress.
"Caldwell's a young, scary team," Holenka said. "I am glad we're playing them in week 12 and not in week 13 or beyond because they're continually getting better since they're still so young."
The Redskins' dramatic 28-21 victory against the Hornets may have surprised many, but not Perkins.
"There's no quit in these guys," Perkins admitted. "We know teams are going to make big plays and score. I've never seen a team play a perfect game, and our guys know to just let stuff go. We did that at Malvern. They made some plays, as we knew they would, but we shook it off and went back at it."
The victory certainly caught Holenka's attention.
"That was a really nice win for them," Holenka said. "That has to be a big boost to their confidence level. They've really been doing things better and better as the season's gone along and that's a credit to their kids and coaches."
All told, the Redskins are 9-2. They fell, 7-0, in week one to Newcomerstown and then in week four, 48-21, to Monroe Central.
Shadyside and Caldwell have four common opponents. Along with the Seminoles, both teams lined up against Bridgeport, Barnesville and Shenandoah.
Holenka has spent much of the week stressing to his players not to get caught up in comparing scores and the like.
"That's always a concern regardless if you're in the regular or postseason," Holenka said. "If you do it in the regular season, you've got another chance, but we do it this week, then our seniors could be cleaning out their locker for the last time. There are no second chances at this point and if you go into a game over confident or looking ahead, it will bite you."
The Redskins certainly enjoyed their win last week, but once Monday rolled around, all focus went strictly to the Tigers.
"We got back to work quickly because we're not ready for (the season) to end," Perkins said. "These guys just love being around each other and they want to continue this for as long as possible. All of our focus is on Shadyside."
While the Redskins were rallying past the Hornets, Shadyside jumped on Fairfield Christian and went on to post a 40-14 victory, which is the school's 26th playoff victory.
"I was impressed with how we took the game to (Fairfield Christian) and took the starch out of them early," Holenka said. "When you're favored, or expected to win, you need to play like that because you could end up in a dog fight."
The Tigers have been to the second round of the tournament in all but one of their appearances in the playoffs, but this is the first time they've reached this level at 11-0. The school's only had three 10-0 seasons.
"It took us two tries to get there, so that is what it is," Holenka said. "It's another game and another chapter inside the book we're trying to get through. Our kids wanted to come back and make amends for what happened in 2012."
The Tigers' success this season and since the turn of the century is something that Perkins and the Redskins have certainly noted.
"Shadyside has a great football tradition," Perkins said. "This is another great Shadyside football team that's extremely well coached and has a lot of great players. We realize when you get to this point in the season, every team left is good and there are no gimmes or byes. Our kids are excited for the challenge and realize they have a chance to play a team that is a legitimate state-title contender."
Both teams like to run the football, but they go about in slightly different ways.
The Redskins employ a spread, which Holenka compared to St. Clairsville because of how they get to the line and wait for the coaches to signal in the play.
"They show no huddle and they've shown some tempo trying to speed up the game, but that usually doesn't bother us because we don't always need a huddle with so many calls being pre-determined," Holenka said.
Shadyside, meanwhile, has gained 3,710 yards on 475 rushes and scored 57 touchdowns with its three-headed backfield beast running behind its talented and physical offensive line.
"It's Shadyside football ... enough said," Perkins offered. "I don't expect anything less from them than being really good. They're definitely a lot different looking (in terms of their approach) than when I was an assistant coach and we played them. There's no hiding what they are and that's a quality team."
The Redskins' offense is led by left-handed quarterback Tanner Clark, who is a threat both his legs and arm.
He's ran for 1,066 yards and 14 touchdowns. He's completed 68-of-122 passes for 1,047 yards and 10 touchdowns. He has been picked off nine times.
Last week, against the Hornets, he passed for two touchdowns and ran for one.
"Tanner has come a long way," Perkins said. "I don't know if he thought he'd be a quarterback, but he bought into the coaching and he's done a great job."
The chief option in the Redskins backfield is sophomore Bricker Lori. He's gained 1,309 yards and scored 15 touchdowns on 146 rushes.
"We put Lori in the single wing last year due to injuries and he did well, but he had to come back this year and learn how to be a running back again," Perkins said. "He has deceiving speed and he's one of the strongest kids I've been around."
When the Redskins go to the air, Tanner Baker has been the top target. He has caught 38 balls for 566 yards ad seven touchdowns. John Carpenter, who caught a touchdown last week, has made 14 receptions for 319 yards and four touchdowns.
"Caldwell does what it does really well," Holenka said. "(Lori) is a really nice player. They're not exceptionally big, but you can't always tell about size from the tape. Their running game is clicking and if you miss a tackle or two, they're certainly fast enough to take the distance."
The Tigers' defense has been staunch.
All-Ohio candidate Zach Meadows leads the way at defensive tackle. He's complemented well by ends Scott Hammond and Eric Howell. Both ends have been wrecking crews against opposing backfields. Cory Banco has also been impressive along the defensive front.
The linebacking corp for the Tigers consists of Chris Littell, Jake Duvall and Matt Krupa, who is one of the team's top tacklers. In the secondary, Austin Dorris, Logan Price, Luke Nardo and Robert Newhart patrol.
"Shadyside's got a good defense and really no weakness," Perkins said. "I am really impressed with their ends and how physical and aggressively they play."
Shadyside's aforementioned backfield monster, which consists of Dorris at quarterback, Howell at running back and Littell at fullback, has combined to gain an astounding 3,216 yards and scored 52 touchdowns.
It's the first time in school history that the Tigers have had a trio of rushers surpass the 1,000-yard mark. Dorris has gone over the barrier in the regular season, while Littell and Howell joined into the mix last week.
"All three of those guys are great backs," Perkins said. "Dorris reminds me a lot of the quarterback from Monroe Central (Curtis Nixon), but he's a little bit bigger. We've seen all kinds of talented runners at quarterbacks. They're probably not as big as Dorris, but they might be a little quicker and shiftier. We just have to be aware of them as best we can. There's going to be a ton of talent on the field, so it'll be fun to be a part of and fun for the fans to watch."
Dorris, who is drawing Division I interest as a tight end and holds an offer from Ohio University, has ran for 1,142 yards and 18 touchdowns.
If there's been one area where the Tigers have had a question mark it's in the passing game. But, they've done enough to keep teams honest and make them at least respect their ability to throw.
Dorris has completed 37-of-75 passes for 625 yards and seven touchdowns.
"Usually within the course of a 10 or 12 play drive, you have a penalty or a negative play that puts you behind the chains, but we've been able to avoid those," Holenka said. "The running game has been good to us because it's been time consuming and it's also been explosive for us since we've been able to break some long runs."
Littell, who missed the Shenandoah game in week four, has ran for 1,069 yards and 14 touchdowns. Howell has ran for 1,005 and a team-high 20 touchdowns.
"None of the three (backs) goes down easily," Holenka said. "You've got to tackle them and they all have the ability to make yards after contact. We don't go into games thinking about who is going to get the ball more and we don't look at stats. We just play the game."
The Tigers offensive line of Meadows, Hunter Hammond, Jacob Spencer, Colton Campbell and Banco has played well all season.
Duvall, Hammond and Littell are the top Tiger wide receivers. None has more than 19 catches.
The Caldwell defense is led by senior Kameron Rayner, who has more than 150 tackles from his defensive line spot. Austin Schockling has 111 stops and 8.5 sacks. Lori is an impressive player at linebacker along with senior Andrew Minosky.
"Caldwell is different (defensively) because it can adjust to whatever it faces," Holenka said. "Some times they show a 4-3 look and other times they show a 50 look. We've seen them on film just change at the line of scrimmage. Most teams have gone to a heavier front against us, so we're getting used to blocking against that. We'll need to be ready again."
Shadyside's kicking game rests with sophomore Mason Campbell handling the placements. Freshman Shadow Gibson is the Tigers punter.
Holenka raved about the work done by his coaching staff this season, which endured some turnover and is fairly young.
"The younger guys we have are football junkies and it's exciting and good for our program to have those kinds of guys coming up the ranks," Holenka said. "Plus, they've grown up (as coaches) in the last year or two and were really ready for bigger roles."
Michael Kernik coordinates the offense and calls the plays. Also on the offensive side of the ball are Chase Grinch and Jeff Campbell.
Holenka spearheads the defensive side of the ball. Veteran assistant John Grinch and B.A. Holloway work with him on that side.
"All of our coaches have done a great job of enabling the kids to understand and believe in the schemes," Holenka said. "You can go 10-0 as a wishbone team or 10-0 as a spread team as long as you believe in what you're doing. Real problems begin when you don't believe in what you're doing. The coaches believe in it and the kids believe in the coaches."

In Romans 4:13, Paul states that Abraham "received the promise that he would be heir of the world." But I can't find a direct promise to Abraham of such a thing. He is promised a great deal of descendants, the land of Canaan, and that the nations would be blessed by him, but seemingly nothing that says he would inherit the world. What did Paul mean by this and where did he get the idea?

So write Sanday and Headlam (A critical and exegetical commentary on the Epistle to the Romans, 5th edn (ICC; T & T Clark, 1902), p. 111). They don't go on to explain much, and here James Denney (notable Scottish theologian) does a better job in the Expositor's Greek Testament (Hodder & Stoughton, 1897) vol. 2, p. 618. Yes, those are old commentaries, but not a lot has changed on this front in the century or so since, and similar statements get repeated in more recent work (e.g., Douglas Moo's 1996 NICNT commentary).
Denney takes note of some later rabbinic tradition that understood the promise to Abraham in a much extended sense. But there is evidence that this notion was current in the pre-Christian era and, in all likelihood, would have been known to Paul (or at least could have been). I have in mind in particular the book of Jubilees,1 where the Lord renews to Jacob the promises made earlier to Abraham (Jubilees 32:19, elaborating Genesis 35:12):
(Translation by R.H. Charles.) This sort of expansiveness is also seen in Ecclesiasticus 44:19-21, although the word used is γῆ (gē) rather than κόσμος (kosmos) as in Romans 4:13.
Even if there was a precedent for this sort of language (and this seems to me the most straightforward explanation for Paul's use of it here), there remains the question of what he meant by it. There is, minimally, the notion shared with Paul's Jewish context -- that the Abrahamic inheritance was "cosmic" rather than local. Beyond that, there is the use of kosmos elsewhere in Romans, and in 5:12-13, and 11:12 and 15, where the overcoming of sin in the world is tied up with the work of the messiah and Jewish/Gentile inclusion. In some measure, this is anticipated in the "inheritance" of 4:13.
There is a more distant echo, perhaps, in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, where Paul is concluding his argument to the Corinthian church not to be partisan:
If, in Paul's conception, Jesus represents the one in whom the promise to Abraham is ultimately fulfilled (Romans 4:24-25), then the connection between these texts is quite strong.2
In your haste you may have skipped over perhaps the most important aspect of God's promise to Abraham while he was still living with his father's family in Ur.
About 25 years later, God appeared again to Abram and renamed him Abraham, renewing the promise He made to Abraham a quarter-century previously. Abram, of course, means exalted father. Abraham means father of a multitude of nations. Now that is the world of which Abraham was the heir.
Why was he the heir of the world? Because he inherited the promise of God, when he
We do not often do it, but put those promises to Abraham side by side with three great verses from Ephesians 2:
Abraham became a true believer in God in the same way we today become true believers in Jesus Christ. The starting point is God's grace. Abraham was no more deserving of God's grace than any other person, since he too was a child of Adam and hence a sinner. Nevertheless, God chose him to help fulfill His plan for the ages by calling Abraham out of paganism and into the worship of the one true God--YHWH, God Most High (El Elyon), the LORD God Most High, possessor of heaven and earth, and Lord God (Adonai-Lord/Master). See Genesis 12:1; 14:18 and 22; and 15:2.
God's gift of grace to Abram was free, as was the gift of believing faith. All Abram did was to decide to exercise that faith, which he did. God then honored that decision and accounted it to Abram as righteousness. So it is today, we
We get a deeper appreciation of the magnitude of Abraham's decision to obey God, by his having
Abraham is heir of the world, because in God's Sovereignty he was chosen to be the exemplar of faith, bar none, for hundreds of generations of believers in God, a veritable world of heirs of faith, peopled by those who, like Abraham, believe in God, and to whom God graciously imparts His righteousness.
Moreover, Abraham will remain the heir of the world until God, in Christ, finishes building His church, despite the attempts of the devil and his minions to sabotage His work, and calls His church to heaven to be united with her bridegroom. Then together, they will celebrate the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, and will share in His glory for ever and ever. As the hymn writer put it:
The answer lies in the understanding of the word "Kosmos", which in English is translated "world", yet has a variety of meanings in the Greek. I am not a linguist, but after searching, found this exposition by A.W. Pink:
After listing 6 other meanings of the word "Kosmos", he arrives at this one, which is famous, I suppose, because it includes John 3:16:
In conclusion, since the word "Kosmos" is used in the verse you quote (viz., Romans 4:13), it does not translate to "earth" but to "realm". Moreover, judging from the context in Romans 4, the "heir of the world" is the "heir by faith, not by the law". Since inanimate 'earth' cannot have 'faith', the world (Kosmos) can rightly be translated "believers", since Abraham is the Father by faith of all those--both Old- and New Testament saints--who believe God.
A further exposition of A.W. Pink's pamplet can be found here.
According to the plain and normal reading of the Bible, "the world" would be blessed through Abraham (Gen 18:18 and Acts 3:25 with Gal 3:8). The nuance is that the lesser is blessed by the greater (Heb 7:7). If the nations are blessed through Abraham, the connotation is that Abraham is greater than the nations. His seed, who represents all the promises given to Abraham (Gal 3:16), therefore inherits the nations as the "Anointed" (Ps 2:8), who will rule the nations "with a rod of iron and shatter them like pottery." This "Anointed" seed is the "Melchizidek" who is greater than Abraham, which brings us back to Hebrews 7:7. In summary, this promised seed inherits the promises, since he is greater than Abraham (and greater than King David according to Matt 22:41-45 compared with Ps 110:1-4, which references the son of David as the priest according to order of Melchizidek).

OpenAIR: An Online Auralization Resource with Applications for Game Audio Development
Game developers are now turning to convolution reverberation effects in order to offer an immersive and realistic audio experience. This requires impulse response data that is either recorded or generated artificially, and that ideally matches the in-game environment. To help this process the Open Acoustic Impulse Response (OpenAIR) Library has recently been made available. It consists of an online resource designed to facilitate the sharing of acoustic impulse responses and related information. Open-source software tools are also provided, including an external library for the Pure Data (PD) programming environment that implements real-time convolution. Details of this tool are described in this paper, along with an example that uses computer generated impulse response data to auralize a space in real-time.

Subtle variations in Pten dose determine cancer susceptibility.
Cancer Genetics Program, Department of Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Cancer Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
Cancer susceptibility has been attributed to at least one heterozygous genetic alteration in a tumor suppressor gene (TSG). It has been hypothesized that subtle variations in TSG expression can promote cancer development. However, this hypothesis has not yet been definitively supported in vivo. Pten is a TSG frequently lost in human cancer and mutated in inherited cancer-predisposition syndromes. Here we analyze Pten hypermorphic mice (Pten(hy/+)), expressing 80% normal levels of Pten. Pten(hy/+) mice develop a spectrum of tumors, with breast tumors occurring at the highest penetrance. All breast tumors analyzed here retained two intact copies of Pten and maintained Pten levels above heterozygosity. Notably, subtle downregulation of Pten altered the steady-state biology of the mammary tissues and the expression profiles of genes involved in cancer cell proliferation. We present an alterative working model for cancer development in which subtle reductions in the dose of TSGs predispose to tumorigenesis in a tissue-specific manner.

WebOS 2.0 screenshots leak
We already know that WebOS 2.0 is coming this year. None other than former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein reportedly said so himself. So as we prepare to enter the last quarter of this year, it's normal for us to expect that HP are hard at work preparing WebOS 2.0 for release. Also, we've come to expect that whenever something new is in development in the smartphone world, there will be leaks.
It's no different in this case. Screenshots possibly taken from a beta SDK for WebOS 2.0 have emerged, and they show HP's newest mobile OS in all its glory.
Highlights of new features include Dropbox and MobileMe support and selection of default apps for data types as well as specific file types.
And if you can live with that shade of gray, this is shaping up to be an update to look forward to. An incremental update, but a good one nevertheless.
Also worth looking forward to is that HP WebOS tablet that will apparently hit the streets at the beginning of next year. It will presumably sport this version of the OS (well, the final bits), and may just pose a threat to Apple's iPad and the upcoming onslaught of Android-based tablets.
Hopefully HP will also consider releasing at least a high-end smartphone running WebOS 2.0. More competition is always better, so to speak. It pushes competitors to innovate at a faster pace, and the original WebOS did just that. Here's hoping its successor will be able to do the same.

College Hockey:Wisconsin's Schultz leaves school, NHL options up in the air
According to TSN's Bob McKenzie, Wisconsin junior defenseman Justin Schultz has "de-registered" from school and is looking to sign an NHL contract.
The Anaheim Ducks drafted Schultz in the second round in 2008 and Schultz went back to juniors the following year. With four years having elapsed since getting drafted, Schultz now has 30 days for the Ducks to sign him or trade him or he becomes an unrestricted free agent and can sign with any NHL team on July 1.
North Dakota's Jason Gregoire and New Hampshire's Blake Kessel used this same loophole in the 2011 offseason.
McKenzie states that Schultz, who turns 22 in July, may be one of the three top free agents on the market this summer, along with Nashville defenseman Ryan Suter (Wisconsin) and New Jersey captain Zach Parise (North Dakota).
Schultz recorded 16 goals and 44 points in 37 games last season with the Badgers. He has 113 total points over his three years with Wisconsin.

Aggregate share buybacks in the S&P 500 grew 32.0% year-over-year to $123.9 billion in Q3. While this represents a sequential decline of 0.1% from Q2, S&P 500 companies have been more active over the trailing year than in any period since the financial crisis. The trailing twelve-month sum of $448.1 billion is the highest since Q2 2008 ($526.9 billion).
The third quarter also marked the highest number of companies engaging in a buyback over a trailing twelve-month period (431, or 86%) since Q4 2008. Even though the number of dividend-payers in the S&P 500 index is at a 17 year high, this represented a higher number of companies than those paying a dividend (417).
The rise in both dividend payers and companies engaging in buybacks has contributed to a trend where very few companies do not engage in either form of shareholder distribution. In fact, just 16 companies in the S&P 500 (3.2%) did not pay a dividend or engage in a share buyback over the trailing twelve-month period. As recently as Q1 2010, more than three times as many companies (49, or 9.8%) did not make either form of distribution. Concurrently, the number of companies engaging in both forms of shareholder distribution reached the highest level since at least 2005 (369, or 73.8%).
The companies that do not engage in buybacks or dividends are typically smaller than those in the other groups. But there are exceptions, including amazon.com and Google. Amazon.com has cash and short-term investments amounting to nearly $8 billion, but its free cash flow (operating cash flow less fixed capital expenditures) was less than $0.4 billion over the trailing four quarters. Google, on the other hand, had free cash flow just shy of $12 billion over the trailing four quarters. The company also has cash and short-term investments of $57 billion, which grew 23.6% year-over-year.

The Museum of Fine Arts Houston and The Menil Collection present
Shades of Love: Romance in Contemporary African Cinema
January & March 2013
This film series has been organized in collaboration with The Menil Collection and its exhibition The Progress of Love, on view December 2, 2012-March 17, 2013. Guest film curator for the series is Ms. Mahen Bonetti, Founder and Director of the New York African Film Festival. Her curatorial statement is as follows: "When thinking of Africa, the definition of love is vague or absent. The word love is always overshadowed by crisis – AIDS, drought, warfare. So when thinking of the continent of Africa, one does not think of the word love in relation to the emotions and tension that accompanies the concept. The films in this program cover passion, jealously, revenge, yearning, scheming, intimacy, courtship, gallantry, sexual encounters – with a definite African flavor."
This film series begins Friday, January 11, 2013.
For more information, showtimes, and tickets visit:
MFAH Films | Shades of Love: Romance in Contemporary African Cinema
The MFAH is located at 1001 Bissonnet between Main and Montrose. Films are shown in the Brown Auditorium Theater located on the lower level. Tickets are available a month in advance.

Nullify, Repeal, and Vote them out!
June 29th, 2010 10:08 pm | by Marc Gallagher | Published in Activism, Big Government, Civil Liberties, Constitution, Health Care, Individual Responsibility, Liberty, Maven Commentary, Philosophy, Politics, Thomas Woods | 2 Responses
"Nullify, Repeal, and Vote them out", should be the rallying cry for Americans and it makes a nice campaign slogan for state representatives as well. I just received Tom Woods' new book, "Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century", in the mail. I haven't read it yet, but it promises to be another classic. I'm guessing Tom Woods will cover, in his new book, some of what I'm about to discuss below.
There appears to be a de-facto nullification movement brewing in the United States. There are three main areas fueling this:
- The National ID card or Real ID
- Marijuana legalization/decriminalization
- The health care mandate
The federal government demanded the states implement a national ID card. Back then they called it the REAL ID. These days they call it PASS ID and have attempted to make it more acceptable to the states. The states successfully thwarted implementation of original REAL ID by passing state legislation refusing to comply with the federal mandate. As of October of 2009, 25 states have passed laws refusing implementation of REAL ID in their state. This is the modern form of nullification. This is the model. Hopefully, PASS ID meets the same fate.
Several states have passed laws permitting marijuana for medicinal use and several are considering outright legalization. This goes directly against the federal laws against marijuana. This could become the next de-facto nullification, similar to REAL ID, if things continue down this path.
Opposing the new health care mandate is nullification in its infantile stages. Several state Attorneys General have filed suit on grounds that the health care mandate is unconstitutional. Virginia has passed a law exempting its citizens from the mandate.
You won't hear many people within the debate on the above actually call what they are doing, "nullification", but the net effect is the same. This idea of de-facto nullification appears to be the most effective and realistic method to oppose over-reaching federal government unconstitutional laws in our time. I expect to explore these ideas in more depth in Woods' book and in my future writing.
Also, check out the upcoming "Nullify Now!" tour. Tom Woods, Jack Hunter, Jim Babka, and others are scheduled to speak.
See below for a "must see" Tom Woods interview given by a "Zombie" about his new book.

SPIN, Foursquare Partner Up at South By Southwest
SPIN magazine is getting its social media on.
In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the music magazine is teaming with popular mobile locator application Foursquare to amp up the interactive experience of music lovers at this year's South by Southwest (SXSW) fest in Austin, TX. Festival attendees will be able to "check in" at various pre-designated music venues and earn virtual "points," the accumulation of which will unlock four custom SPIN badges (as pictured).
The badges, naturally, become more difficult to acquire as the stakes get higher. The SPINsider badge requires the Foursquare user to simply check out three bands recommended by SPIN editors, and the Animal Collector badge requires checking out three or more bands with (shocker) animals in their names. To get people away from the main drag on 6th Street, the Trailblazer badge rewards music lovers who check out shows outside of downtown Austin, and the Bands on the Run badge necessitates the seeing of seven bands in one day. The first ten badge "unlockers" can redeem the virtual awards for physical tickets to the magazine's SPIN@STUBB's event, such as the event featuring Hole (a.k.a. Courtney Love plus whatever musical rotation she's currently wrangled to perform with her).
The partnership, which SPIN publisher Malcolm Campbell says originated last fall, have the markings of a mutually beneficial relationship. The latter helps the former tap into the location-based digital trend (social media experts like Robert Scoble are already declaring this year's fest to be the "location based @SXSW"). Meanwhile, Foursquare, which was unveiled at last year's South by Southwest and currently has a quarter of a million users, gets to promote to its wares to a more mainstream audience outside of technology and social media circles.
"Music was the first product to experience both the benefits and pitfalls of digital platforms, so everyone's super open to new ideas," said SPIN associate publisher Mike Albanese, who adds that the magazine is also partnering with MySpace for the third year and creating a separate Twitter feed for the fest as not to overwhelm the publication's non-Austin-bound followers. "With all the talk about this being such a location-heavy SXSW, we saw the potential for this partnership right away."

Ernesto Sanchez, '72, holds a degree in law from the University of Idaho. A former farmworker, he has spent his career helping Idaho's low-income citizens access the justice system. He was the first Hispanic-American licensed to practice law in the state and is the former executive director of Idaho Legal Aid Services.
"My graduation from the University of Idaho College of Law demonstrated that even a former migrant farmworker can reach his goals with the hands-on, one-on-one education I received from committed professors," he said. "Not only did I receive an excellent legal education, but I also learned how to deal with the conflicts and difficulties that people face in their personal lives. I learned how to resolve difficult issues, and the University of Idaho gave me the confidence necessary to be successful in this profession."
Sanchez first came to Idaho as a child to work in the fields with his family. He took his education seriously, achieving a level of success inspiring to the Hispanic-American students who have followed in his footsteps.
He has spent 40 years with Idaho Legal Aid Services, including 33 years as executive director. He helped found the Migrant Farmworkers' Unit and the Indian Law Unit of Idaho Legal Aid Services, and has served as director of the Idaho Law Foundation and president of the Idaho Hispanic Caucus.
The University of Idaho has recognized Sanchez for his incredible contributions to the university and the state by awarding him the College of Law Award of Legal Merit in 1991 and the President's Medallion in 2002. The Idaho State Bar Diversity Section selected him for its "Justice For All" award in 2010.

Hot on the Forums: Wine Stewards, Squabbling Couples and Going Nuclear
December 13, 2013 | By Cruise Critic | No Comments
Love reading the Cruise Critic boards? So do we! Every so often, we end the week on the Lido Deck by selecting a few forum threads that have made us laugh, cry or argue the finer points of cruising. Here are a few topics that caught our attention:
Bye, Bye, Wine Guy? Member whogo is tired of wine stewards who either ignore your needs or take too long to pour the goods. His idea: Guests could select their own bottle of wine when they enter the dining room, which the steward would bring with him to the table when he seats you. You could then help yourself if the bottle was screw-top, or use a self-service cork screw attached to the ice bucket. Sound good to you? Join the conversation on the Holland America board.
Power for the People. Would we ever see a day where cruise ships are run by nuclear power? There's a hot debate, started by member pbfp2008 on the Carnival message boards, along with some clever possible ship names (anyone willing to board the Glow?)
Couples counseling It's never fun to think about the "what ifs." But if your sailing companions are on turbulent waters, what options do you have to salvage your vacation? It's a reasonable question, asked by albether7 on the Royal Caribbean message board. Luckily, the consensus seems to be that passenger substitutions can be made, depending on how far away the cruise is.

Conversation about and activity on Ello has been ramping up over the last few weeks. Ello, for those living relatively balanced lives with healthy relationships to their digital devices, is a new social network that is, in not so many words, promising to be the anti-Facebook. The creators' goal is to free us from the tyranny of being products packaged for advertisers–remember, if you're not paying for the product, you are the product. (How this plays out with Ello shall be seen.)
It's rough around the edges, for sure, but conceptually interesting enough to play with for a minute if you're into that sort of thing. And I am! I've been playing for the last few days, and one of the first things I noticed is that it was difficult to find people I knew. As Clay Shirky put it the other night: "the only first-order feature that anyone cares about on a social network is 'Where my dogs @?'" Heh. The search function is broken-ish, so the only way I knew how to find my people was (1) to tell people on other social networks how to find me on Ello, sigh, and (2) by looking at the few people I did find, and seeing who they follow.

Similar to Planned Parenthood Saved Me, it appears that social media is the dominant driver of traffic to When Women Refuse. Sharing stories matters. Again.
I started a Tumblr blog to collect stories of violence committed against women who refused men's advances (full background story here), and 24 hours into this project, we've received some incredible sets of traffic and engagement numbers. Put your nerd pants on, kids, we're going for a ride.
Really don't think I've ever participated in a project that got this sheer kind of volume right away. Read more
If you're an independent consultant, entrepreneur, or an expert in your field, you've probably heard it: Writing a book is one of the best things you can do to level up your career. And, as a media consultant who wrote a book on social media three years ago, I can tell you that's absolutely true.
But I can also tell you that it isn't easy, and not just for the creative reasons that come to mind—squeezing out all of your literary juices onto the page and having them whipped into compelling shape is only just the beginning

ICFP 2014: Call for Workshop & Co-located Event Proposals
David Van Horn <icfp.publicity <at> googlemail.com>
CALL FOR WORKSHOP AND CO-LOCATED EVENT PROPOSALS ICFP 2014 19th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming August 31 – September 6, 2014 Gothenburg, Sweden http://icfpconference.org/icfp2014/ The 19th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming will be held in Gothenburg, Sweden on August 31-September 6, 2014. ICFP provides a forum for researchers and developers to hear about the latest work on the design, implementations, principles, and uses of functional programming. Proposals are invited for workshops (and other co-located events, such as tutorials) to be affiliated with ICFP 2014 and sponsored by SIGPLAN. These events should be less formal and more focused than ICFP itself, include sessions that enable interaction among the attendees, and foster the exchange of new ideas. The preference is for one-day events, but other schedules can also be considered. The workshops are scheduled to occur on August 31 (the day before ICFP) and September 4-6 (the three days after ICFP). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Submission details Deadline for submission: November 15, 2013 Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2013 Prospective organizers of workshops or other co-located events are(Continue reading)

The first six months after obtaining a driver license tend to be the most dangerous for teenage drivers across the nation, but Oregon's graduated driver licensing program has improved safety since it started in 2000. Motor vehicle crashes are the No. 1 cause of death for 15- to 20-year-olds. A national study shows teens who take formal driver training in Oregon have much lower crash rates. Yet only about a third of eligible Oregonians actually sign up for driving classes, saying they don't have the time, money or easy access to them. Oregon teens who took an approved ODOT driver education course have fewer crashes, traffic convictions and suspensions.
Find an ODOT-approved driver education course near you.
Safety advocates graded each state on the 15 basic traffic safety laws that reduce injury and death and Oregon was ranked near the top of the list. Oregon had enacted 12 of the 15 laws, excluding a minimum age 16 for a learner's permit, nighttime driving provision, and age 18 for unrestricted license for teen drivers. Some of the optimal laws that helped earn Oregon a high safety rating include primary enforcement of safety belts, all-rider motorcycle helmet law, booster seats, graduated driver licensing, impaired driving, and text messaging restriction. Full report (PDF 2MB)
NHTSA recently published a report (January 2014) that studies the factors associated with bicycle crashes, the types of bicycle education programs, and it explores how children's learning and development correlate with bicycle riding skills. Safely riding a bicycle involves developing both motor and cognitive skills, such as maintaining balance and control, stopping and starting at intersections, riding in a straight line while signaling, searching for potential hazards, and reacting quickly in emergency situations. Full report (PDF 1MB)
The first of three annual traffic enforcement "blitzes" dedicated to proper safety belt and child restraint use will run from February 10-23. A statewide observation survey in June 2013 found 98 percent of Oregon's motoring public using safety belts, making Oregon one of the two highest belt use states in our country. However, 61 people in Oregon last year lost their lives where they were not wearing a safety belt as a motor vehicle occupant. When you think about a father or son, mother or sister lost this way, you understand why the message "buckle up every time" is continually emphasized. Proper belt use is the single most effective way to protect motor vehicle occupants from crash injury or death.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recently published a report on safety impacts of restraint use and minimum drinking age laws. In 2012, the use of safety belts in passenger vehicles saved an estimated 12,174 lives nationally. Safety belts have saved nearly 63,000 lives during the 5-year-period from 2008 to 2012. In addition, 525 lives were saved by 21-year-old-minimum-drinking-age laws. Full report (PDF 740KB)
This road safety ad from New Zealand is incredibly powerful regarding the implications of speeding. "Other people make mistakes. Slow down." Click on the image below to play the video.
With more cars on the road and more people in a hurry, tailgating is a big problem. Rear-end crashes are very common and the main cause is people following too closely. Tailgating drivers are unable to stop before hitting the vehicle in front of them. The solution is to maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you. This gives you a better view of the road, and the other traffic, so that you can anticipate problems and have more time to react. The police in Oregon are searching out tailgaters using new, improved laser technology. The hunt is on, because tailgating is a leading cause of traffic crashes in Oregon.

Supernatural can't last forever. This makes us very sad. However, the CW has ordered a "sample" of a potential spinoff to take it's place when axe time finally comes. This makes us very happy. But, what is it about? And moreover, will it sink or swim?
Supernatural spinoff got a name, then name change.
The original name of the proposed spinoff was supposed to be Supernatural: Tribes. This has been changed, however, to Supernatural: Bloodlines. This actually seems appropriate, since, if it involves Supernatural it will be bloody, and the bloodlines of various families (of both humans and monsters) do seem to be a key underlining thread throughout the show.
It also gives us the impression that this expansion of the franchise will hold true to the basic nature of the show. With other franchises we've seen what happens when the nature of the original show is abandoned. The hugely popular Stargate franchise was on track to pull a Star Trek (yes, we used that as a verb), spinning off time after time in every direction... until showrunners decided to make it "more edgy". The result was Stargate: Universe, and the apparent death of the franchise.
What was really sad, is that Stargate: Universe wasn't a bad show. It was actually pretty good, and we do miss it. But, it was a betrayal of the show's nature, and thus, the fans. If the the show's producers had just gone with a more traditional spinoff and waited to put out that 'darker, more edgy" tale for a few more years it might have flown. Now, however, it's floating aimlessly between galaxies.
Supernatural: Bloodlines does take a bit of a turn from the normal Supernatural path, however.
Instead of racing around the country tracking down monsters and assorted objects of power Supernatural: Bloodlines is predicted to be somewhat stationary. The series takes place in the city of Chicago. According to The Hollywood Reporter:
Supernatural: Bloodlines, airing as a planted episode on April 29, is described as a sweeping drama about the various mafia-esque monster families that unknowingly to humans "run" the underbelly of Chicago and who are being tracked by a newly minted Hunter who is trying to stop them and rid Chicago of anything or anyone supernatural.
One of the little touches that kept the original show interesting was that the Winchesters and their extremely motley crew of varying associates were in a different state every episode. There were even betting pools among fans on which location they would end up in next. Staying the same city all, or even most, of the time might not go over well with the group.
On the other hand, there are also those Supernatural devotees who were happy to see the brothers find and settle in at the Men of Letters bunker in the last few seasons. A home base of sorts that gave them a small sense of stability that neither Sam nor Dean had ever had (or, at least, had ever been able to hold onto).
What kind of chance does Bloodlines have?
We won't know the answer to that until after April 29, when the embedded pilot airs as an episode of the original Supernatural. The fan response will, of course, be key. The CW will, no doubt, be paying close attention the ratings for that episode, and the showrunner will be especially interested in the social media buzz for at least 72 hours afterward.
So, what do you think? Do you think Supernatural: Bloodlines has a shot in hell? Or will it too be left to drift between worlds?

LeBron to sponsor Canes basketball
CORAL GABLES – Not only will the Hurricanes have a new coach this coming season, but also a new look on the court.
The 'Canes will be sporting LeBron James-branded Nike gear thanks to a sponsorship deal with the Miami Heat superstar, two sources said Friday.
James will also be sponsoring Ohio State and Kentucky.
UM players were told the news by Coach Jim Larranaga on Thursday.
I can't say I'm surprised. James has been actively trying to promote his brand since he entered the NBA.
He doesn't have any direct ties to any of the three schools he'll be sponsoring, but we know the Akron native, who has sported Ohio State gear in public and mentored Terrelle Pryor, is a Buckeyes fan.
As for UM, he built a relationship with the school when he and some Heat teammates played pick-up games with Hurricanes players on campus last summer.
Plus, Larranaga is familiar with James' representative, Maverick Carter. Soon after Larranaga left George Mason this spring to become UM's coach, he tweeted about a meeting he had with Carter and former GMU player Darren Tarver, with whom Carter is friends.
James' sponsorship and support should help the 'Canes get some attention, and they need every bit of it. Of course, they still need to get it done on the court, but maybe they'll feel more confident with Bron-Bron gear on. You know what they say about performing well when you dress well.

LAUREL — Sometimes, "ahead of schedule" is a bit of an understatement.
That's the case this week, as Meridian High Schoolers move into their new 50,000-square-foot education building. The original move-in date was slated for September.
The early readiness of the structure was accomplished through good old-fashioned project coordination, said Steve Isenhart, co-owner of Tiger Construction, the company handling all the building projects around the Meridian School District.

The Albuquerque Isotopes' clubhouse was not a cheerful place Sunday afternoon after an 11-5 loss to the Fresno Grizzlies. Yet amid the gloom, right-hander Red Patterson was doing his best to suppress a smile that has not gone away since last Thursday.
That smile has lingered since Patterson stepped onto a Major League mound for the first time. He started the second game of a doubleheader against the Twins in Minnesota, allowing just one run in 4.2 innings.
Before the game, however, Patterson said he was just a big bundle of sweaty, nervous energy. This despite the fact it was below 40 degrees in Minneapolis.
"I think the first time it actually hit was walking out there in the first game to let Donnie (Mattingly) and (Rick) Honeycutt know that I was there," Patterson said of the Dodgers' manager and pitching coach. "I kind of walk out and see this huge stadium, you've got the Jumbotron, you've got different things going on. That was the first time the nerves really set in."
Patterson then had to wait through Game 1 before getting his opportunity. He trekked out to the bullpen to warm up.
"Beforehand, it was quite nerve-wracking," Patterson said. "I was trying to keep my routine as much as I could. But knowing where I was and what was going on, it was hard to stay focused. Walking out to go warm up and throw my bullpen and stuff, it was an experience words can't describe. The feelings of it, the emotions of it, overwhelming me, I guess.
"Honestly, once I started warming up in my bullpen and started having to focus on my pitches and stuff, it kind of locked me in. After that, walking out of the bullpen to the dugout, I tried to keep my head down as much as I could, so I could just kind of keep focused on the task at hand. But it was almost like an out-of-body experience."
The Twins did not exactly greet Patterson kindly. Brian Dozier and Joe Mauer hit back-to-back singles to lead off the first inning.
"Giving up the first hit to Dozier and then Mauer, first and second, nobody out, I'm like, 'This isn't how it's supposed to go, I'm supposed to strike everybody out here and dominate,'" Patterson said. "Actually when that happened it kind of locked me back in. I'm there for a reason. Do the job, get guys out the best I know how to. After that I was fine."
Patterson ultimately gave up a sacrifice fly to Josmil Pinto that scored Dozier, but that was all the Twins would score off the right-hander. The Dodgers would ultimately rally to win 4-3, with Patterson getting a no-decision.
There were some familiar faces in the stands and not just in the dugout for Patterson. He said his parents, wife, agent and a family friend were all there to provide some support, with one person in particular standing out.
"When I'd start to lose it a little bit, I'd hear my dad over there yelling at the umpire," Patterson said. "It kind of relaxed me."
One of Patterson's veteran teammates seemed to notice the paternal support. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez helped add to the family's memories of the day.
"Adrian actually gave the ball that I flipped to him in like the third or fourth inning, he went over and gave it to my parents," Patterson said. "Everybody, the whole experience, was amazing. Everyone was welcoming and very congratulatory."
Patterson returned to the Isotopes the day after his debut. He will take the mound again in Albuquerque on Tuesday in the series opener with the Sacramento River Cats.

FULLERTON, Calif. - The No. 10/11 Stanford softball team closed out the DeMarini Invitational with wins over Michigan State (11-0 in five innings) and East Carolina (3-1) in Fullerton, Calif. The Cardinal moves to 18-3 overall, while the Spartans dropped to 4-11 and the Pirates fell to 7-10.
Junior pitcher Teagan Gerhart picked up both wins in the circle, improving to 18-1 overall. She racked up 10 strikeouts in 11 innings, allowing just one run on six hits. Shelby Wise took the loss for the Spartans, dropping to 0-3, while Sarah Christian fell to 5-5 for the Pirates.
Against Michigan State, Stanford struck first, scoring one run in the bottom of the third. Sophomore Caitlyn Pura led off the inning with a bunt single. She advanced to second on an infield single by freshman Hanna Winter. Junior Jenna Rich singled up the middle to score Pura from second.
The Cardinal posted a big fourth inning, pushing its lead to 11-0. With the bases loaded and no outs, Winter hit an infield single to score senior Jenna Becerra. Catcher Michelle Prong crossed the plate on a single through the right side by freshman Leah White. Senior Ashley Hansen kept it going for the Cardinal, scoring Pura with a single to centerfield. Rich then drew a walk to score Winter. Freshman Cassandra Roulund, pinch hitting for Tylyn Wells, ripped a double to right field, scoring White and Hansen.
Still in the fourth, the Cardinal loaded the bases again as Becerra, who led off the inning, was hit by a pitch. Freshman Lauren Donovan, pinch hitting for Prong, then drew a walk to score Rich. Winter then cleared the bases with a double to right field.
Freshman pitcher Nyree White finished the game in the circle for the Cardinal, shutting down the Spartans to put the run-rule in effect.
Versus East Carolina, Stanford scored one run in the bottom of the second as Winter hit a single up the middle to score Becerra from second.
The Pirates tied it up in the fourth, loading the bases with no outs. Right fielder Jordan Lewis reached on a fielder's choice, allowing second baseman Kristi Oshiro to score from third.
Stanford answered in the fifth, taking a 3-1 lead. White led off with an infield single and then advanced to second on a throwing error by ECU first baseman Cicely Lopez. She moved to third as Hansen flew out to centerfield. White scored on an RBI single by Rich. Becerra then drove in Rich with a single that stayed just fair down the right field line.
The Cardinal threatened in the sixth, loading the bases with two outs. However, Christian got out of the jam by striking out Roulund.
The Cardinal returns to the Bay Area next week for seven games. Stanford will play at Saint Mary's on Wednesday, March 7 before returning to The Farm to host the Louisville Slugger Classic, March 9-11, at Smith Family Stadium.

Couldn't find any answers to this with google. When importing the same folder of pictures twice, Shotwell will skip duplicate photos. But how does it detect duplicates? If I import two different folders of pictures, some of which have the same name for some reason, will Shotwell assume they are duplicates? Or does it also factor in the file size, making false duplicates unlikely? Or does it hash the pictures, making false duplicates all but impossible?
I believe it is more advanced than simple names, I just tried. In fact it would seem that it doesn't base it on name at all.
So I just created the following:
Imported the folder TestDir (which imports from any subdirectories too). This was the notice:
The two it had imported were blue.png and yellow.png. This is because they were created first (it chooses the oldest if there are duplicates).
This was confirmed by the next test:
The successful imported ones were
Because of that I assume it uses a hashing algorithm.
It is accurate enough that changing just 1 pixel of colour from green to yellow on an A4 page caused it to not detect as a duplicate. Pretty accurate then!
In fact, I just found this post here:
In fact in the source code, at line 732 is this: Kudos @ Jeremie Miserez
Sounds like it uses a MD5 hash!

Climate change enthusiasts have nothing to say about Saturday's latest forecast, and the warnings of a "polar vortex" bringing extreme cold down into the U.S. in the next 24-36 hours.
The aptly named cold front will begin pushing freezing cold air down from the North Pole, barreling as far south as the gulf coast, and pushing temperatures below freezing for most of the nation.
There is a short period of time, perhaps a day or two, where the temperatures will rise into the upper 40's to near 50, but they will quickly plunge again, sending wind chill temperatures in North Dakota and Minnesota to minus 50 degrees below. The Mid-Atlantic and New England regions will see wind chill temperatures around -20 degrees.
Nation still suffering effects of post-Christmas storm
With another freeze on the way, people across the northeast are still reeling from the after-affects of a fierce winter storm that dumped 21 inches of snow in Boxford, just north of Boston, Mass. The storm closed major highways in New York and caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights across the country.
North Dakota forecast offices saw lows into the -20s across North Dakota and Minnesota with breezy conditions lowering wind chills to dangerously low levels. As the storm moved east, it left snow, freezing winds and power outages in its wake, bringing transportation to a near stand-still in many locations.
The Midwest and northern tier prepare for winter's coldest air yet
With NOAA and weather officials warning everyone of the dangers involved in the cold blast that's arriving, one meteorologist, Ken Simosko, from Bismarck, said it would take all of five minutes to get frostbite in minus 50 degree conditions.
It is worth mentioning that everyone thinks of their neighbors, especially the elderly and disabled at this time. Call or stop by to check on them, making sure there is electricity and food and water. Simosko pointed out that,
"We usually don't call something 'life threatening, but yes, we want people to know that this is very much a life-threatening event."
Forecasters are saying that while there will be a warming trend after this latest freeze is passed us by, more snow is expected in the midwest and is expected to dump an additional 6-12 inches before moving off to the east. As for the global warming issue, it's on hold for awhile.

College Hockey:Crusaders Rally To Draw With Canisius
Holy Cross Remains Atop AHA Standings
WORCESTER, Mass. — Behind a power-play goal from freshman Matt Burke, Holy Cross skated to a 2-2 tie with league rival Canisius, Saturday evening at the Hart Center in front of 1,384 fans. Canisius was backstopped by Bryan Worosz' 42 saves en route to the tie.
The Crusaders were led by freshman Dale Reinhardt and sophomore James Sixsmith. Reinhardt opened up the scoring at 10:04 in the first with a power-play goal, to give Holy Cross a 1-0 lead, and also added an assist for a two-point night, while Sixsmith assisted on both of the Crusaders' goals.
Holy Cross scored first when Sixsmith's shot from just outside the slot was kicked out by Worosz to Reinhardt, who beat Worosz on the left side for his sixth tally of the season. Sophomore Frank O'Grady also assisted on the play.
The Griffs evened the score with 1:30 left in the first stanza when junior Andrew Dawe slid the puck under Holy Cross netminder Ben Conway, then took the lead halfway through the second, when Mike Ruberto poked a loose puck past Conway at 9:40.
Holy Cross used a man-up opportunity to even the score at 2-2, midway through third when Burke beat Worosz to the left side from the left faceoff circle for his fourth marker of the season, with help from Reinhardt and Sixsmith with 9:20 left in the game.
The Crusaders were 2-7 on the power play and killed off all four of the Griffs man-up opportunities. Conway made 23 saves for the Holy Cross.
With the outcome the Crusaders are 12-7-5 overall and remain No. 1 in Atlantic Hockey with a record of 9-3-4. The Golden Griffins sit put in second place at the league with a record of 8-5-3 and 10-12-4 overall.

This listing is for the Enzoani "Hadara" gown. This is a sample gown, but has only been tried on twice. There are a few places where the beading has gotten attached to the netting, but this can easily be fixed. This one shoulder gown with beaded floral applique at shoulder and hip gives a feminine feel, while the "peek-a-boo" of modern tissue like layers gives a couture look. Enzoani gowns are second to none in the structure department. There is an attached inner corset bra making the gown fit great but do be advised it runs very small! Zipper back closure. This gown can easily be altered by any skilled seamstress.

Animal rights groups, including Nevada Voters for Animals and No Kill Las Vegas have voiced their outrage over a planned raffle for 27 puppy survivors of a deliberately set fire at the Prince and Princess Boutique scheduled by The Animal Foundation.
The Foundation said that it is intending to sell the tickets at $250 each "so the public can have a chance to adopt the dogs in a drawing, and also give a fair shot to all interested in taking them home." However, others accuse them of "choosing profits over puppies."
The Animal Foundation is planning to show the puppies on Zappos so the public can "meet" them prior to the raffle.
"We believe it's against the law, we believe it's against county code," said Gina Greisen with Nevada Voters for Animals. "They are not a commodity, these are puppies."
"I don't know that the critics can be satisfied," said The Animal Foundation spokesperson Andy Bischell. "We're just trying to do the best we can with the resources we have and to maximize the opportunities we have to extend our programs and services."
Although a Clark County official noted that the raffle is legal, protesters plan to rally outside the Regional Justice Center for the second time this afternoon at 4 pm.

"Free From The Tracks" by K T Bowes is a fictional novel based in New Zealand. Sixteen year-old Sophia Armitage is a good girl from a Christian home which fits the community stereotype of the perfect family. But all is not well and Sophia becomes trapped in an illusion, forced to pretend that nothing has changed and hug her secret to herself. Her mother, Sally, disappeared two months previously and her father, Edgar is not coping. Into this turmoil comes another influence, Dane McArdle, the central figure of a nasty group of teenagers at the local high school, reputedly the worst school in the city of Hamilton. Dane is definitely from the 'wrong side of the tracks', a boy from a rough neighbourhood near the railway line, whose mother is a drug addict. Dane and Sophia's lives are wound together in combined misery as events conspire to work against them and in the background, jealous eyes watch their blossoming friendship with hatred and the threat of danger. This novel is categorised as 'Teen' on Amazon but has also been read and enjoyed by adults. It deals with the types of influences and social issues pressing in on this generation of young people, which is not peculiar to New Zealand only and does contain mild violence.
"This novel was inspired by my own experience of school, growing up in England during the 1980's," explains the author. "Bullying was a major issue and, I believe still is. I wanted to reach out to teens feeling under pressure to conform or behave within stereotypical boundaries, especially those being bullied. Hopefully my novel offers a message of hope; that survival is possible and life does go on after the school years."
K T Bowes is the author of ten books. "The Hana Mystery Series" comprises six books, following the story of Hana, a widowed English immigrant to New Zealand. In addition to "Free From The Tracks", there is a sequel entitled "Sophia's Dilemma", which follows Dane and Sophia through another crisis. Each of the novels is currently ranking within the top 100 bestsellers within their categories. "Free From The Tracks" and "Sophia's Dilemma" were both awarded five star reviews from Readers' Favorite and display the coveted Reader's Favorite disk on their covers.
The average star rating on Amazon currently is 5*
Bill Howard, reviewer for Readers' Favorite said about "Free From The Tracks" in his review,
"The action and drama is all too real as Dane and Sophia navigate their way through crippling circumstances that challenge the depths of their strength as they are forced to press forward practically alone. The reader will feel the depth of emotion and the struggle that each of them faces as they work out their challenges, both separately and together. Deep, realistic and in many ways inspiring."
Becki H, an Amazon reviewer said, "I was gripped from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed it. So much so that as soon as I reached the end I logged on to Amazon to purchase the second book, and carried on reading!"
"Free From The Tracks" is available on Amazon Kindle ASIN: B00F7CKBGO and can be downloaded for US 99c on the Amazon universal link getBook.at/freefromthetracks

Yep, I walked right into the headmaster's office and said, "I'm all in. I want to tell people what is so great about your school, and I want to help grow it in any way that I'm able... How can I help?" And you know what? Maybe he had a moment of crazy too, because I now have
So what does this have to do with personal style? Stick with me, I'm getting there...
Among other things, this means that I am on campus in an official sort of way. I have "office" hours and I meet with people... new people, inquiring about the school (and also high school students, but that's another part of my job-like volunteer position that I'll share some other time). I guess you could say that I'm a small piece of the first impression. And that's a bit of pressure, to be honest.
Part of the pressure stems from the fact that I have been a stay at home mom for 15 years... a jean and sweatshirt wearing mom, with the occasional corduroy pants, button down and sweater thrown in. I'm not a fashionista! I like fashion, and I'd like to think of myself as fairly stylish when I need to be... I don't wear mom jeans for Pete's sake!

After looking through my clothing inventory, I've concluded that I need a little help, or maybe even a lot of help! Enter Google, "what's my fashion style", and Real Simple Magazine's little online fashion style quiz.
According to RS this is the outfit for me...
For some reason, I'm just not seein' it!
So, my style quest has begun. And yes, I know that it's what's on the inside that counts, and that fashion is probably considered by some to be a little frivolous, but I think it will be fun to explore what's out there and try to define my style. If you have any tips let me know!
What's your style?
