Michael Jordan's Looks Through The Years
In case you haven't heard, the legendary Michael Jordan is turning 50 on Sunday and there's going to be a big celebration in H-town. We can't believe the guy we grow up on is turning the big 5-0. He's a legend on the court but he's had some interesting fashion choices off of it. Especially after he retired.
So let's take a look at MJ's fashion over the last few years.

F&SF and WALL-E
The jaws of Google are vast, though, and they also caught an entry on TOR art director Irene Gallo's blog that is really the point of this whole entry. What they caught was Bob Eggleton's comment: "The ending credits are worth the price of admission and,really underscore the whole film! And yah for Shaun Tan's concept work in it. I HIGHLY recommend THE ART OF WALL-E by Tim Hauser. Has lots of concept art and paintings in it." (Methinks I shall be looking for this Art of WALL-E at the library...)
It's the blog entry that really captured my fancy, though, because in it Irene Gallo presents some images from old covers of F&SF by Mel Hunter and wonders about Hunter's influence on some of the film's designs. Great fun! And I'd never discovered Gallo's blog before, so am happy now to add it to the ever-growing blogroll.
[And what did I think of the film, you ask? It's charming, wonderfully made, particularly magnificent in the first 40 minutes or so, and I agree with Richard and everybody else who has said the last part is stupid, even for a kids' movie. The filmmakers followed the logic of their politics, not the logic of the world they had created -- what would make sense would be for all of the not-quite-right robots to return to Earth, which is a perfectly good and perhaps even paradisaical environment for them, and leave the humans to their spaceship, which is a paradisaical environment for them. The humans give up the utopia they have evolved into and trade it for an agricultural task far beyond their capacity. There is nothing inherently wrong with either world -- they just seem horrifying to us because we privilege our own way of living and our own prejudices about what is and isn't right and good above others, but the spaceship has solved the problem of human happiness (even if it has diminished human free will) and the Earth would be a marvelous playground for the robots, who can withstand its environment. The humans, who cannot withstand its environment without a lot of suffering, trade universal happiness for what is likely to be centuries of toil and misery. There can be no sequel to WALL-E, at least not one that is anything other than a fairy tale, because it would be more brutal than When the Wind Blows.]

I think it's vastly overstating the point to say that humans on the Axiom are happy. At best they're content, and even then only because they don't know any better. It's not free will that is eroded by life on the Axiom but individuality, and the only humans in the film who experience happiness are the ones touched, and awakened, by Wall-E, and who subsequently discover that they have a personality.ReplyDelete
Oh, and I'm puzzled by the constant references I've been seeing to the inevitability of a sequel. Pixar have made a grand total of one sequel in a decade and a half, and that only because of a contractual obligation which they are almost certainly no longer under.
Wall-E totally looks like the robot from "Short Circuit"... minus the cheesy 80's style of courseReplyDelete
As I stated on another blog somewhere, while the ending of WALL-E may be exceedingly utopian, given what we have seen in the preceeding tale, it is in the nature of human beings to be hopeful, and in the tales we tell ourselves, we not only express our fears or condemnations of that which we see around us or heading our way, but also our dreams for the better world that may await us, either in our future here on earth...or after.ReplyDelete
WALL-E presents us with a fable of humankind finding its home again, and recognizing their responsibility and need to make it--and themselves--whole and healthy again.
And look, if we're going to accept a mobile trash compactor falling in love with a flying eggshaped iPod, can we say it's silly to depict humankind returning to its home and putting it right?
Yeah, I saw Shaun Tan's name on the credits. He's my favourite artist, so I wanted to follow it up... that led me here!ReplyDelete
Life is just one big circle...

Dillon Town Council on Tuesday voted to allow vendors to use public parks during town-sanctioned events such as markets, festivals and concerts.
However, the unanimous decision was not without controversy.
Two residents voiced opposition at the meeting. They argued that the town's new vendor rules could increase traffic and lead to the deterioration of park land.
Barb Richard, speaking on behalf of a number of Dillon residents, wanted to know how the town plans to mitigate the affects of increased park usage.
"Most people, I think, they're OK with the change provided that the community's concerns are addressed," Richard said. "I would say the biggest one there is that the green space is not damaged and that it remains primarily for recreation."
Town manager Joe Wray said that the vendors would be liable for any damage to park grounds. He also pointed out that there are a number of rules and restrictions already in place that prohibit vendors from driving on open space.
"I think there's a lot of unnecessary worry that may be occurring, because we do have processes in place" Wray said. "Historically, it's common for all of these events to be held, or (have) the ability to be held, on parks land across the nation."
In a previous attempt to allow vendor-based events on town park property, the council in August suggested re-zoning Town Park from parks and open space to public facilities. The purpose behind wanting to move such events to the public space, said Wray, has been to find a way to keep these events from blocking town streets and inconveniencing businesses.
However, 75 Dillon residents showed up at the town council meeting at that time to voice their disapproval of the re-zoning plan. The majority of the dissent revolved around wanting to keep Town Park as an official open space, with the fear that if that designation changed, it would open the park up to possible industrial elements in the future.
"Their voice was loud and clear that they didn't want to see a re-zoning," said Wray at Tuesday's meeting. The council withdrew the re-zoning application and instead changed the language in the town code to allow vendor-based events on town park property, rather than changing the designation of Town Park itself.
A master plan for Town Park is currently in development.

Officials searching for Port Charlotte bank robber
Published: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 19, 2013 at 5:09 p.m.
PORT CHARLOTTE - A bank was robbed in Port Charlotte Tuesday, leading the Charlotte County Sheriff's Office to canvass the area with trained dogs and a helicopter.
The sheriff's office received a call at 12:27 p.m. to the C1 Bank at 1950 Tamiami Trail. Detectives say the bank robber is a white man in his 30s, with a thin build, dark short receding hair and a two-day beard growth, wearing blue jeans and a gray long-sleeved T-shirt with a pink and blue logo on the front of the tee shirt.
CCSO detectives and deputies responded to the call and immediately set up a perimeter. A unit with trained dogs and the helicopter were called out to search for the robber, which is continuing.
Detectives are continuing their investigation and have not released any further details. They are asking that anyone with information about this C1 Bank robbery or the name of the subject in the surveillance photos, call CCSO at 941-639-2101 or Crime Stoppers at 800-780-TIPS (8477).

Computer issues again for the past couple days. Different problem, but continued aggravation. Time to seriously look into a new one. Got in a 3-miler and a full core workout Friday, took Sat/Sun off, then ran a 5k progressive run in under 22 minutes yesterday. If conditions are near perfect Saturday, there's a 5k Winter Festival run about 30 miles from here. With that drive, though, the weather better be near ideal. We'll see.
Totaled 1160 running miles and 248 bike miles in 2012. Bike mileage improvement should be easy this year, but that may take time away from improving on my running total. Heck, nobody said it was easy, but this is a VERY good group to look to for inspiration.
Coyote.... That's great weekly mileage, especially in the conditions you run in. You have a different way of trying to get people to run with (or after) you.
Francessmom.... I use running-log.com to track my workouts. It's free, simple, and very easy. The site had a couple issues last year, but when it comes back up, all your info is still there.
Melody..... I agree with Linus. I, too, admire your commitment in that weather.
Linus.... If I had a 90-minute massage, I'd have to take their word for 45 minutes of it, because I'd have slept through that much.
Oshcat... Your colorful start to the New Year sounds cold, but very fun. Enjoy it.
Mkay.... Your schedule plan for this year sounds like some top U.S. ambassador official's, or even some president's, schedule!!!
NRDgirl.... Way to be the support for your sister!!!!! She is blessed to have such a close sister.
May the new year find you all in a very good place.
I ran a nice-strong 5 miles this morning (it was again pretty cold at 15 degrees). The roads were so quiet and empty with a gentle snow falling. Sweet way to greet 2013.
linuscatch Nice speed work and your massage sounds divine!
OshCat Can't wait to hear how your 5K Color Run goes. Brrr.
Old Coyote I adore how you greeted this new year!! Thank you for saluting 3013 like any great runner would. Adios to your rough times in 2012!!
NHLA yep...cold!
jmsab23 "1160 running miles and 248 bike miles in 2012" <~ Impressive!! Thanks, re: runnin' in the cold. I figure either get out and embrace the elements or become hostage to these New England winters.
Age: 53

Happy New Year!
Francesmom - take care of yourself! I've come in second to my basement stairs before too although I ended up in a boot for 12 weeks. Good healing to you.
MaryKay - I hope you made the 700 miles AND that you're feeling better. You're so brave going after a full! I think half is where I'm going to stay for a while - I just need to pick one now.
NRDGirl - you're a great sister!
MelodyLea - brrrrrr I draw the line at those temps and will hit the dreaded TM instead - do you at least run in the daylight? I think that would make a huge difference.
linus - jealous of that massage! I think I need to book one for myself. My trail race in November started and ended with a complimentary massage from the race sponsor and I felt so decadent. I am a yoga convert too - just started last summer and love love love it!
OshCat - hope your color run was fun. Can't wait to hear about it.
OldCoyote - awesome way to ring in the new year! Agreed - mule deer must be way better than jack@$$es. Put 2012 behind you and keep moving forward - literally and figuratively.
jmsab - great annual mileage. It's all good so if biking supplants some running miles it's ok - just keep moving.
Ran the "Run Your Hangover Off" race this morning put on by a local running club. I'm not a member (yet? hmmm) but I do know one of their members. All familiar territory - hilly course but some hills I'm very familiar with. The wind was fierce! Temp about 35 but the windchill - brrrr Started off with a woman (Dawn) running about my pace so we chatted a little. I walked the water station - she kept going, foregoing all water. Walked again when I got a stitch in my side (dang). I managed to catch back up to her on the last hill and we chatted again. Turns out she's headed in for cancer surgery tomorrow (after already doing a round of chemo) and wanted to get one last race in before she's sidelined for several months. Such strength and determination. We crossed the finish together at 55:45. I had a good race and got a good dose of perspective for the year too.
Remember - you will get out of 2013 only what you put in - so get out there, grab life by the horns, and be the best "you" that you can be.
Geared up for first run of 2013. I planned to do 5 easy miles. New Bose earbuds and mp3 player awaiting a test drive. I am still sore from fall. I have a huge step-shaped bruise on right gluteus maximus about 6 x2 inches. I was lucky not to land on my tailbone for I surely would have broken it. Left trapezoids also very tender. Running was literally a pain in the a**! But I figure increased blood flow to my muscles would speed healing. Two miles in I was ambushed by a ferocious peek-a-poo. It attacked me from behind. Luckily I was wearing my Adidas track pants and it chomped on them and not me. As a dog lover, I refused to kick the monster. I kept waiting for the owners to call it off. After fleeing for 3 houses, a kind motorist honked his/her horn several times and scared the dog off. I just kept running hoping the dog was not going to follow. After 1/2 mile my heart was pounding from adrenaline. I had to stop and walk for a few minutes. I wanted to just go home sooo bad. I was only a 5 minute walk from home, my muscles hurt and the dog encounter had shaken me. I focused on calming my breathing and kept going. Total 5 miles in 45 minutes. Bose earbuds are awesome! Having my msuic makes me run faster.
Coyote - What a fantastic run! Truly part coyote! We stayed home with 13 and 7 yr'old and had minor fireworks show of our own.
JM - It might not be your computer. I think it is this site. Great mileage considering how our busy lives can interfere with our running/biking time!
Melody - Your run sounds like what I wanted to do today. I would gladly trade my mild weather for your low temps if I could experience such peace!
Peaceful runs to you all!
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Happy 2013 to all my running friends! What a great way to start the new year. We had a very early dinner with friends and I was able to talk my friend into traveling to Madison for the 5 mile race on NYD.
The Fleet Feet New Years Day Dash was a 5 mile run, mostly through dry streets but probably 2 miles on icy trails. It was 6 below when I got up this morning, but was up to 5 by race time @ 11. minimal wind, fortunately. The layers did their job, no real problem with the cold after the first mile and getting warmed up. Finished in 54:23, which I was OK with given the minor amount of running I'd done since the marathon.
Have a great new year friends. Run safe and strong.

Happy New Year!
I've been slacking off, not running much and still no new shoes(gave up on my search). However, winter running has been great so far! It's fun starting out cold and warming up.
Anybody else still wearing shorts?
Hey All- Ive been a big baby. Enjoyed the holidays, ate a bit too much. Anyway, still made it to my Jan 1st race. 10k in 59minutes.
I decided to wear my Morphsuit that I bought for Halloween. I figured, I have hats, and gloves and the baclava, but this suit has it all in one! And when else can I use this? I cant run at home with this on, because you cant see too well through it. Especially where the white paint is. So, why not wear it on this COLD race day? Turns out this was the first race where I heard them say, "As far as traffic control goes, you're pretty much on your own other than a couple signs out there" - Great. All in all, it was a really fun run. But now that Ive done the Skeleton suit, I probably wont run in it again. It isnt as warm as you might think. I did have a couple runners who wanted me to pose with them, so that was fun too.
Happy New Year All.

Top o' the mornin' to ya. I ventured out into the cold yesterday and donned the snowshoes. Paraded around in the back woods for about 45 minutes, making trails down to the pond, up the north side of the property, and back along the south side rock wall. Also packed down a slide area in case we keep our grandson overnight this weekend (he's been sick lately, though). Hit the TM after that, 5 miles in 36:16.
JustrunDan.... Great job on the 10k!! In these temps, they'd need a calendar to time me in a 10k, because it'd take me about 5 or 6 more weeks before I left the starting line!!!
Melody... Is your running "pup-pal" still going out with you, even in the cold? Do you cover her with one of those doggie sweaters?
Debm.... Maybe more than a good dose of perspective for the year -- maybe for life. There are some very strong-willed and determined people out there whose stories inspire me often. Nice start to the NewYear for you.
Jeff..... I didn't think you'd be very warm in that skeleton suit -- you're nothing but bones!!
Francessmom... Love all that BOSE equipment.
Igotwings.... Yes, I'm wearing shorts...................................for my treadmill runs.
Here's to Lucky '13.
Happy New Year to all! Long Entry for a short little race, sorry 'bout that.
New Year's Day dawned bright and clear, which made it also pretty darn COLD! As I was eating ~ an hour before the run the weather guy said it was 2 degrees with wind chill making it feel like ~ -10, and I said 'oh crap' but geared up and went anyway. I had double-layers of just about everything on and didn't come out of my down jacket until I had to. There were 4 places in the race where we were bombarded with colored dye powder - start/finish and 2 stations. Runners needed to walk through the stations so time was totally not a factor. At one station my chest got a direct hit from a cupful of pink, it went all the way through to the skin. All in all, I only felt the cold for the first couple of minutes but my legs were stiff the whole way and I ended up taking an extra walk break because of it. In all there were > 600 runners registered and I'd say most of them showed up.
Things to remember for future color races - 1. when they are using the powder-style dye, be sure to have something to cover up your nose/mouth or you will gag. I had a bandana which worked fine. 2. Do go slowly through the color station, even do a couple of spins, to get as much color as possible. 3. to 'set' the color you must spray your shirt down with vinegar and then iron it; make sure to soak the shirt pretty good and then pretty much dry it with the iron. I don't think I had enough vinegar, the only color that remained after that process + a short cycle was was the purple. Oh well.
Things I hope they improve upon next year, since this was the 'first annual' - pre-race pickup etc was ok as far as organization goes. It would have been nice to have a printed logo on the shirts but that's minor. They did have a radio personality dressed as the New Year's Baby going around writing on shirts so that was fun. Post-race: 1. provide some HOT after-race food like a soup of some sort or hot chocolate. 2. They did have a vinegar station for spraying the shirts (with plastic bags to take them home) but the little sprayer bottles were not powerful enough and the line was crazy. Perhaps next year they should have a way to hang the shirts a few at a time then get a volunteer with one of those garden sprayers to walk along dousing the shirts. 3. do NOT have the sprayer-station manned by the same folks who were taking care of the checked-gear area. I was told to go on back and grab my own jacket, not cool. 4. Do not have the sprayer-station so near the post-race food, it made for a very crowded and confused room.
Will I do it again? Probably. Hopefully it'll be a little warmer next year though. And hopefully some of my friends who said they were running it will actually be running it with me.
Here's me in my Modified Running Ninja getup before heading out.

Did a short and cold 3 miles with the pup and the hubs yesterday. I'll take the cold over the heat any day.
Debm2011 That is a heck of a story about Dawn...wow. Inspiring!
Francessmom That rotten little dog! I get so irritated with pet owners who ignore their ill behaved pets. I do carry Mace, but truly, I would be very hard pressed to use it on a dog. I did get "greeted" by a pit bull once whose owner was nowhere to be seen and I had my finger on the mace button, for sure.
justrundan That's some good winter running! **High Fives** for braving the cold.
igotwings No shorts for me! Brrrrr

jmsab23 Hi Jon! Yep, my pup-pal is still running with me in her little red winter coat. I put something called "Musher's Wax" on her feet when the roads are bad. Otherwise her feet get burned by the salt.
OshCat What a crazy race! I don't think I would be too into running in the cold and then having cold wet liquid splashed on me. You are a better woman than I. Good on you for getting out there!

Greetings All and Happy 2013!!!
Looking in the rear-view at 2012, running was my constant therapy throughout the year. I had some personal stuff to get through (divorce, moving, etc...) and running was my therapy. Mile after mile the stress gets lower with every dropping bead of sweat.... From purely a running standpoint, 2012 was excellent and I'm looking forward to continuing that in 2013 very soon.
I'm starting 2013 as I ended 2012, eating and living primally and continuing with month 2 of P90X Lean. I don't think I'll follow P90X through to the 3rd month. My running/racing schedule starts with an excellent 5 mile run on March 2nd. I want to be competitive at that as there's a lot of people I personally know that are also running it. I missed registration for this event last year (they only take 2000 runners) and the year before I was fighting an injury, so needless to say I'm excited to run it this year. The 2000 spots filled in less than 36 hours.
However, I am sticking with the Primal diet, feeling amazing. My girlfriend had her cholesterol checked before we started the primal diet, she's had high cholesterol in the past and at that check it was a little higher than it should have been, as she expected. She recently had it checked after eating primally for only one month.... Amazing, her numbers now are right in the 'wheelhouse'. I'm here to say, it works. We're both feeling excellent and there's no reason to consider going back.
Cheers All!!! I'll be blowing the dust off my Brooks soon enough.

Hey, all. I've had some login issues also, but here's how I've worked around them.
1) After you finally get logged in, go to your Active.com profile page. Bookmark it.
2) Next time you log on, do it from your profile page, and use the login field IN THE UPPER RIGHT CORNER, not the one in the center of the page.
3) If you get an error message, click retry. I've had a nearly 100% success rate with this method.
I guess I should add that I'm using Firefox 17.0.1
If we want to move this discussion, Runnersworld.com has forums we can set up, free of charge. It's just a matter of starting a new discussion.
Rest day. Run report tomorrow!
False alarm on the 30th (actual due date) had me at the hospital from midnight till 2:30 am.
Contractions were constant throughout the 31st, water broke around 11 pm.
Son-in-law and his mother and I stayed with my daughter at hospital as the world celebrated 2013.
They managed to sleep but I stayed awake and helped daughter be as comfortable as possible.
Our 2nd grandbaby finally made a quiet entrance into the world at 10:57 am on NEW YEAR'S DAY, 2013!!
It was such an emotional event for all of us.
8 lbs, 10 oz; 20 3/4 inches........... amazing!!
Daughter and baby Isabella are doing well and getting to know each other and her big sister!!
Delivery was so much less painful this time around due to the epidural, YAY!!!
The gift of a healthy grandbaby was more than what we could have wished for as my husband and I celebrated our 10th anniversary the same day!!
What are the odds?!?
It is a glorious event to share!
We enjoyed the warm temps of Phx while anticipating the birth of our 2nd grandbaby, and now we are relishing the wondrous beauty of winter in northern AZ at our home before returning to the frigid conditions of MN in a few days.
No running for me since last week, still reeling with happiness and thankfulness.
I don't make resolutions.
I do wish each of you a very healthy and prosperous 2013 filled with joy, great adventures, peace and kindness.

News 12 at 11 o'clock / Wednesday, Sept. 5, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The woman accusing a man of buying votes for Richmond County Sheriff's candidate Richard Roundtree is now speaking out.
"I'm about to tell you the story," said Latasha Moore condescendingly toward claims that the family she accused is calling her a liar.
Moore says she and a friend were at a Richard Roundtree campaign event before the runoff on Aug. 21.
"They told us to come over there and get some food and drinks, but my homegirl didn't want any, so she walked to the stop sign," said Zenobia Gordon, who was at the event with Moore.
Gordon went to get some water. That's when she recognized a man named Jerry Jordan, who she says was hanging out with the Roundtree camp.
"[Jerry said] to tell 'Tasha to come here," Gordon said.
"When I came to the car, and I was like, 'What you want Jerry? You know I ain't got any talk for you,'" Moore said.
However, she did say a conversation ensued.
"'I'm going to tell you what I'm going to do,'" Moore said Jerry told her. "'You get five people plus yourself and come vote, then you come to my shop tomorrow, and I got a car for you.'"
"He didn't ask for money. He told her he got her," Gordon added.
It was then Moore decided to do something she'd never done: vote.
"You can look up my record and see how many times I ever voted," she said. "I wasn't going to vote this time until what Jerry promised me."
After she voted, she wanted her reward, so she text messaged Jordan.
"You for real about the car because I already got four people," the text message read.
"He didn't respond," Moore tells News 12.
So she says she repeatedly tried to reach him when she got this response:
"You stupid [expletive deleted] girl your vote didn't mean [expletive deleted]. He lost by 1,000, so [expletive deleted] who cares," the text message said.
Now, a warrant is out for Moore's arrest after Jordan's wife claims Moore was sending her harassing text messages.
"His wife, talking about I'm harassing her, I could take a lie detector test because I do not even know her number," Moore said of the allegations.

I'm (currently) also using DVBDream to record DVB-C TV on my PC. I now tried to (more or less) directly stream the selected channel via PS3 Media Server to my PS3. For that I use the "LAN Streaming" functionality of DVBDream. When I use VLC on my PC with the appropriate URL: "upd://localhost:1234/" it correctly shows the stream.
So I tried to add an appropriate video stream configuration entry (see "DVBDream Test") in "WEB.conf" that looks like this:
#internet tvs
videostream.Web,TVs=TVU Selected Channel,http://localhost:8901/,http://www.tvunetworks.com/favicon.ico
videostream.Web,TVs=DVBDream Test,udp://localhost:1234/,http://www.test.com/test.png
But unfortunately (at least currently) I cannot watch this stream on my PS3. I can successfully select it via the XMB, but it does not start to play and my PS3 shows "corrupted data" after 15 to 30 seconds.
If I use VLC to convert the UDP stream to an HTTP stream it works, with a "WEB.conf" entry like this:
videostream.Web,TVs=DVBDream Test 2,http://localhost:8080/,http://www.test.com/test.png
But since VLC seems to re-encode the stream, the quality is worse than using the original stream (via UDP).
So my question is: Is it possible to configure PS3 Media Server to correctly stream UDP streams to PS3 ?

In recent years, elaborate handshakes and various routines have become longer, delaying games anywhere from five to 10 minutes after the starting lineups were announced.
"There's a 90-second countdown, it is placed on the clock," NBA spokesman Tim Frank said. "At 30 seconds, there's a warning horn and alert by the refs. At the end, teams need to be ready to tip off or face a delay-of-game warning."
Two delay-of-game warnings would result in a technical foul.
Some players have already blasted the new policy.
"I personally don't like it," Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant told The Oklahoman. "Every player in this league has routines they do with their teammates, rituals they do before the game and before they walk on the floor. The fans enjoy it. You see the fans mimicking the guys who do their stuff before the game. To cut that down really don't make no sense."

STOCKTON — A man attempted to rob a store in the 2000 block of East Mariposa Road shortly before 4 p.m. Thursday but lost money instead, authorities said.
The man reached for the open cash register drawer after paying for a pack of cigarettes, but an employee pushed the man's arm away and began fighting with him, police said. The man let go of the drawer and fled on foot, leaving behind the cash and the cigarettes he purchased.
He was described as a 30-year-old black man wearing a long, curly wig, a blue hooded jacket, light blue jeans, white tennis shoes and a baseball cap with an orange bill.

ALAMEDA -- The Raiders inch closer and closer to actually putting Terrelle Pryor in a game.
Pryor has suited up for each of the past two games without getting a snap, with game circumstances dictating otherwise. Coach Dennis Allen said the right opportunity could present itself Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at O.co Coliseum.
Quarterbacks coach John DeFilippo said Thursday that the second-year quarterback has put in the requisite work to succeed.
"It's gone great. The kid hasn't let up (since training camp) in terms of work ethic and those things," DeFilippo said. "He's progressing nicely."
DeFilippo said Pryor never showed frustration at being inactive for 11 games of the season and has worked diligently on his footwork to improve his passing accuracy.
"There's always room for improvement in any quarterback, but he's making strides," DeFilippo said.
As for what kind of plays may be at Pryor's disposal, expect something that puts the quarterback in position to either run or pass based on his skill set.
"Whoever the quarterback is in there, whether it be Matt (Leinart), whether it be Carson (Palmer), whether it be Terrelle, you always want to do what they do best," DeFilippo said. "In terms of specific plays, that's up to (offensive coordinator) Greg (Knapp), but that's what we try to do in terms of the game plan."
"We'll evaluate him as we finish out the week, but I thought he practiced well yesterday and then early today," Allen said. "It kind of grabbed him a little bit, so we'll see."
The only player who missed practice was strong safety and leading tackler Tyvon Branch, out with ankle and neck injuries, with the ankle being the bigger issue.
"He was on the side working with the trainers," Allen said. "I'm hopeful that we'll be able to get him out here and practice a little bit tomorrow. His mindset is he wants to play this weekend."
The Raiders had their first blackout since the 2010 season finale on Dec. 2 against Cleveland, a game that drew 43,641 fans. Games against Tampa Bay (52,055), New Orleans (56,680) and Denver (53,807) qualified under the 85 percent rule involving non-suite sales.
In almost all cases, games where extensions were requested have ended up on television.
"Coach told you everything you could ask me," McClain said. "I ain't got nothing to say about anything."
Defensive coordinator Jason Tarver said McClain was "a little under the weather Wednesday, but he's worked. He's going day-by-day and those two days have been good days."
There are no assurances that McClain will be active against Kansas City, with Omar Gaither starting at middle linebacker in the base defense.

McPherson High School senior Zane Richter made quite the splash during the Wichita Northwest Invitational Saturday, as he made up for missing the first meet of the year last week with a performance that will see him go to state in three events, including two relays and one individual effort.
Richter, Eric Gaeddert, Kyler Jost and Ryen Trost qualified as a relay team in both the 200 medley and the 200 freestyle. In the medley, the team turned in a time of 1 minute, 54.2 seconds, which MHS coach Bonnie Sue Fisher noted was over two seconds below the state qualifying time. The 200 freestyle saw the quartet qualify for state again by almost two seconds with a time of 1:39.67.
Individually, Richter qualified for state in the 200 individual medley with a time of 2:20.8.
Gaeddert had the top medal finishes for the Pups, as he placed third in the 100 freestyle with a time of 53.61, a full seven seconds better than his previous personal best, which qualified him for state in that event. He also grabbed a bronze in the 50 freestyle with a time of 24.27 seconds, just missing the state mark by .11 seconds.
Jost took fourth in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:02.70 and had a seventh place finish in the 50 freestyle. Spencer Steinert took eighth in the 200 freestyle.
"This is always a good meet for our boys and this year was no different," Fisher said. "We came away with 4 state qualifying times and an envelope of medals. The competition is always good at this meet and the pool facility at the Northwest Y in Wichita is fantastic. Team wise, we only ended up sixth out of 10 schools, but the majority of those schools are Div I and Div II. The only team that beat us in our league was Rose Hill."
MHS is back in the pool this afternoon, as they will travel to Barton County Community College for the Great Bend Invitational, which will also feature Hays, Hutchinson, Wichita Collegiate and Wichita Independent.
50 Freestyle — 3. Gaeddert 24.27; 7. Jost 25.07; 24. Chapman 32.30; 33. Obenlueneschloss 39.58.
100 Freestyle — 3. Gaeddert 53.61; Richter 57.17; 12. Trost 1:02.65; 14. Steinert 1:02.94.
200 Freestyle — 8. Steinert 2:22.41; 16. Howe 2:34.21; 20. Trost 2:49.99.
100 Backstroke — 13. Howe 1:20.41.
100 Breaststroke — 10. Obenlueneschloss 1:17.90.
100 Butterfly — 4. Jost 1:02.70.
200 Individual Medley — 6. Richter 2:20.80.
200 Medley Relay — (Gaeddert, Jost, Trost, Richter) 1:54.52.
200 Freestyle Relay — (Gaeddert, Jost, Trost, Richter) 1:39.67.

This yarn is so soft and has a great drape, especially for a cotton yarn. The colors are beautiful and shiny, and the yarn is dyed evenly, which is great because you don't have to worry about dye lots when working on your project. It holds up very well to frogging, but does lose some of the sheen the more you frog, and becomes a bit fuzzy. One big con is that the yarn does split easily, and any mistakes you make are very visible because the stitch definition is so great. Even still, its such a great yarn to work with, especially if you can snag it on sale. I have already ordered more!

Great yarn
By Tenny
from Albany, Georgia
I love this yarn and truly regret that it is being discontinued. The service from Webs is great. I live in a town that has no Yarn Shop and so I rely on Webs to provide me with special yarns

I an using this yarn for a baby blanket. Love the feel.
Wonderful colors; easy to handle.
By Knittin' Crazy
from Ohio
I love the WEBS discounts, fast service, and excellent choices available for order. This yarn was easy to use, surprisingly durable, and knitted quickly. I made a large blanket with it, and at first, I worried that the yarn would be too flimsy, but that was not so. It made a nice, summer weight blanket. Sewing the seams was easy, too, but I am not sure they will hold up to washings.

About Me Enthusiast
This yarn was purchased because it was being discontinued. It is one of the few purchases I've made for a sweater for myself.
Service and delivery comments:
The thing that was so fantastic about this purchase is the service. Because the warehouse moved or something, only half of my order was shipped. When I enquired, the staff found enough yarn of the same dye lot and shipped it without charge to me.

Berroco Pure PIma
By Queen Bee at Queen Bee Knits
from Orlando, FL
I bought this yarn to make a sleeveless Dropps tunic and I love the yarn and weight. (If I wasn't a ding-bat, it might be done right now but I started making the wrong size.) Ultimately, it will be a great tunic but the yarn is a bit difficult to work with as it splits a lot and if not corrected, it shows in the garment. But it's soft, the color is fabulous and the weight is perfect for summer and Florida!

A South African Artist Remembers Mandela
Fifty years ago Nelson Mandela was arrested in Rivonia, Johannesburg. I was 13 years old. Every morning my father took me to school and we drove past an imposing stone wall in Houghton (very close to Mandela's present home) upon which had been sprayed, in angry dark green paint, "HANG MANDELA." Now I am 63 but I still see that violent message as though it was indelibly sprayed on a wall in my mind.
Growing up with such division and intolerance in a massively divided country precluded any sense of psychological or spiritual peace. How could I feel free when drowned in a tsunami of "un-freeness"? How could I receive grace while millions were denied? Painting was my refuge.
Our contemporary world has seen the history of the fight, and of the victory, unfold before its very eyes. We have witnessed the conviction and dedication of a man fighting to see his vision for freedom realized.
No one can remain untouched and unchanged by the deeds and actions of this remarkable man.
More than any man, Nelson Mandela showed me how the divisions between us rob us of our inherent goodness as loving, caring and compassionate human beings.
Since a near death experience brought on by Legionnaires Disease in 1979, I have been passionate about painting the "anatomy of energy." This experience allowed me a glimpse into the world of what energy truly is. Further insight was gained by my introduction to sub-atomic physics which helped explain what I had experienced "on the other side."
Simply, we are made of trillions upon trillions of shooting bits of energy. These quanta move at speeds close to the speed of light in sequences of spectacularly choreographed electrical transactions. I discovered that nothing is random, that this universal energy is in all of us. It is, indeed, us.
And this universal dance of energy comprises intelligence, compassion and Love. It is with this current that I paint. It is these qualities that, hopefully, shine through in my portrait of Mandela. In the painting I have used vivid stripes of color to suggest these shooting tracks of energy. I have taken the abstract qualities of love, forgiveness, compassion and patience and assigned them shapes and colour values much like I do when I compose my music. Each color becomes a musical instrument, a sound. But whether a sound or a color, each mark on the canvas is nothing more than a vibration offered to the viewer. A vibration that talks to our inner selves.
The painting comprises thousands of such stripes of energy. Each stripe was painted with the utmost love and respect, with the expert help of my assistant Jen Saunders.
The light and the energy, the intelligence and compassion, the warmth and simplicity that is Nelson Mandela should never be forgotten. This painting is my tribute. It is my hope that it speaks to millions for hundreds of years to come about the gift this man has given. And that his loving smile reminds us all that we are free to be the amazing human beings we were created to be.
And now, 50 years later, the small artist boy has grown into an artist man and sets out with reverence and respect to, indeed, "hang Mandela," but in a gallery or a hospital or the Mandela Center for Memory where he may live on forever.
Paul Blomkamp is one of South Africa's most celebrated artists, known for his distinctive striped portraits of Nelson Mandela and others. He is a painter, music composer and stained glass artist.

Counseled by the Bellevue Arts Commission, a volunteer advisory group appointed by the City Council, the Arts Program manages a variety of projects and initiatives designed to bring the arts into Bellevue's everyday life.
The program's mission is to encourage and support the arts as a vital part of community life. From supporting local arts groups through the Eastside Arts Partnerships and Special Projects funding programs to presenting the biennial sculpture exhibition Bellwether, the Arts Program is dedicated to enlivening Bellevue as the cultural hub of the Eastside.

Taking exams at the Office of Services for Students with
Disabilities (SSD) is a service provided for students who have
approved testing accommodations such as alternate test site, use of
computer, exams read, or the assistance of a scribe.
It is recommended that students schedule exams at least four
business days in advance in order to use the SSD testing facility.
Failure to provide adequate notice may result in the accommodations
not being available. In cases of pop quizzes, or instructors not
providing the class with sufficient notice before an exam, students
will be accommodated based on the availability of the SSD testing
facility and proctors.
In order to schedule exams and quizzes at SSD, students must
complete the online Exam
Scheduling Form.
Once this form is completed and submitted to our office, we will
contact your instructor to request the exam and any instructions
they may have.
Please note that students are required to take exams at the same
time as the rest of the class unless special arrangements have been
made with instructors. In situations where students have
back-to-back classes or evening classes, arrangements may be made
to begin exams earlier than the scheduled class time and during
SSD's regular operating hours.

Better living through nature
by Susan Melgren, Web Editor
natural health, dirty dozen, clean 15, organic food, eat healthy, EWG
A new year means time for a new Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 List from the Environmental Working Group. Each year the EWG puts out a list of the foods with the highest and lowest pesticide residue to help shoppers determine which foods to buy organic and which it's okay to buy conventional. Although ideally every shopper would be able to purchase organic fruits and vegetables, the reality is that organic often costs more at the store and just doesn't fit into all budgets. With the EWG's 2012 Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 Lists, health-concerned shoppers can get the most bang for their buck by minimizing their pesticide exposure while still saving money.
This year's list reflects a few changes from last year, so be sure to pay attention—and take a copy of it with you to the grocery store!
Sweet bell peppers jumped from number 8 to number 3 on the 2012 Dirty Dozen list. So if you're going to buy this veggie, be sure to buy organic! Photo By Janine/Courtesy Flickr.
1. apples2. celery3. sweet bell peppers4. peaches5. strawberries6. nectarines (imported)7. grapes8. spinach9. lettuce10. cucumbers11. blueberries (domestic)12. potatoes
This year the EWG also mentioned green beans and leafy greens (such as kale) as additional foods that contain enough pesticide residue to warrant concern. The organization also added a note saying that shoppers who are concerned about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) should buy organic sweet corn, as GMO sweet corn is not labeled as such in U.S. stores.
