Allen's Office Assistance - Trosper, KY - Phone: (606) 546-4322
Fax machines, in Trosper, are the devices through which a document is sent over a telephone line. These possess some advantages over the Internet as the unencrypted data, is less vulnerable to interception in this mode of delivery.
Conventional fax machines have now-a-days been replaced by fax servers and other computerized systems that can receive and store incoming faxes electronically, and then route them to users on paper or via secured email. Such systems are cost-effective as these can eliminate unnecessary printouts and reduce the number of inbound analog phone lines needed in an office.
Fax machines utilize standard Public switched telephone network lines and telephone numbers in Trosper.

A new study by the Journal of the American Medical Association supports the importance of staying slim as a young adult.
People who are obese through their 20s, 30s and 40s have an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke later in life.
Information for the study was collected over a 30 year period from 3,275 Caucasian and African-American adults, ages 18-30 years.
Researchers found that for every year young adults were obese, their risk of developing hardened plaque in their arteries increased by two to four percent.
Obesity has steadily increased since the mid-1980s in the United States with people becoming more obese at earlier ages.

Parents of chronically ill children face unusual challenges in the current US health care system. The system is an odd mix of public and private insurance. Children are covered either through their parents' employment-based insurance or through public insurance programs (Medicaid) that require meeting some type of financial means test. There is little health insurance support other than Medicaid for those individuals who lack insurance as a result of partial employment or for those who have employment-based insurance that provides inadequate coverage for the employed individual or family members.1

Fertility treatments have come a long way baby. The first child conceived through in vitro fertilization was born in 1978. That milestone gave birth to a new age in conception.
"In the early days the success rates were only about 14% per try. This was in the late 70s early 80s," says Dr. Craig Sweet, a reproductive endocrinologist with on the medical staff of Lee Memorial Health System.
A new fertility option is freezing eggs in the hopes of conceiving a baby at a future time, something that may give hope to females fighting cancer or other health issues.
"If you look at freezing eggs there's a whole list of about seven or eight reasons why we would freeze eggs, cancer just being one of them. Those patients potentially can have ovarian tissue removed and stored or eggs removed and frozen for future use," says Dr. Sweet.
The procedure is considered experimental.
"The ethics committee of American Society of Reproductive Medicine took the very unusual step to say if one is going to offer an egg freezing program one has to work with an institutional review board for human experimentation," says Dr. Sweet.
So doctor Craig Sweet has started his own reproductive study, the first step is freezing eggs.
"Human eggs are the largest cell of the body, and they have the most amount of water, and water when you freeze, turns into ice, ice crystals can destroy the cell the internal structures."
Freezing eggs calls for new techniques because they are more delicate than sperm or embryos.
"One aspect was to freeze the eggs very rapidly in a process called vitrification, so you essentially remove the water almost disocate dry the eggs and then freeze them very, very fast," says Dr. Sweet.
The next step involves thawing the eggs without damaging them.
"The second part of the study is ease of use of thawing and then the obvious success rates of implantation pregnancy," says Dr. Sweet.
Freezing eggs may also provide women an opportunity to delay reproduction. In its testing phase, the process is providing successful as the once frozen eggs are baring fruit.
"As of 2010, and there were 936 children delivered, through egg freezing process," says Dr. Sweet.

The staff at National Weather Service field offices have no greater duty priorities than to issue timely severe weather warnings for the protection of life and property. A thorough understanding of the state's severe weather climatology can better prepare forecasters for anticipating the timing, strength, extent and nature of severe weather. In addition, a severe weather climatology will provide important information to emergency managers and government or private agencies on the characteristics of severe weather across New Mexico. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to quantitatively describe the severe weather climatology for New Mexico using reports since 1959.
Prior to July 15, 1999 the National Weather Service Forecast Office (WFO) in Albuquerque had the entire state of New Mexico as its forecast area, and roughly the northern two-thirds of the state for its County Warning Area (CWA). The National Weather Service (NWS) Modernization and Associated Restructuring shifted responsibility for seven forecast zones to WFO El Paso, Texas, and shifted three forecast zones to WFO Midland, Texas, on July 15, 1999. This allowed WFO Albuquerque's CWA and forecast area to match (Fig. 1). Although the current WFO Albuquerque forecast area and CWA cover only the northern two-thirds of New Mexico, this study will present climatological data for the entire state.
Unlike nearly all other WFOs in the NWS Southern Region, much of Albuquerque's forecast area is divided into forecast zones, zones not defined by using county boundaries (Fig. 2). This is to better conform to New Mexico's diverse topography. There are 34 forecast zones in New Mexico, 22 of which are in Albuquerque's CWA. New Mexico is the fifth largest state in the United States, comprising nearly 122,000 sq mi. The Albuquerque CWA covers approximately 88,000 sq mi, making it the largest CWA in the coterminous United States. Elevations vary from under 3,000 ft to over 13,000 ft. This elevation range of nearly two miles brings to New Mexico a vast array of climate regimes and some of the most diverse weather in the Southern Region.
Severe weather including tornadoes, large hail and strong winds will be analyzed in this study. In addition, other significant weather events will be examined, including flash floods, lightning, microbursts (wet or dry) and dust devils. While not "severe weather" by strict (NWS) definition, these latter four events are a frequent and often dangerous aspect of New Mexico's weather.
a. Population Density and Distribution
According to the1990 census (The World Almanac and Book of Facts, 1993), New Mexico had 12.5 persons per sq mi. This is extremely low compared to the national average of 70.3 persons per sq mi, and is easily the lowest in the Southern Region. The population density ranges from 359 persons per sq mi in Bernalillo County, where about 40 percent of the state's population lives, to 0.4 persons per sq mi in Catron County. Fourteen of New Mexico's 32 counties have population densities of less than five persons per sq mi.
The extremely low population density has likely resulted in many severe weather events not being reported, especially if they occurred away from the highly skewed population centers of the larger cities in New Mexico. This under-representation of the severe weather data has been addressed by many authors, including Grazulis and Abbey (1983), Doswell (1985), Hales (1993), and Murphy and Vescio (1996). Because the WFO at Albuquerque strongly discourages population-weighted warnings, this study does not discuss the geographical coverage of severe weather in New Mexico. Instead, it focuses on the temporal trends in the severe weather climatology.
b. Communications
A portion of the lack of communication of severe weather information across New Mexico can be directly related to the low population density. However, the great diversity of people across the state is another factor in the poor communication of weather sensitive data. New Mexico is a land of many different cultures and languages. Native Americans have many tribes with their own governments and languages. There are many Hispanic communities whose residents speak little or no English. New Mexico will remain a multi-cultural society and communication will always create a challenge to the WFO at Albuquerque. Even the most basic communication methods such as the telephone are limited in some communities. The use of the NOAA Weather Radio is scarce as well. A positive influence since November 1996 has been the addition of the amateur (HAM) radio, which has provided more feedback and more reports of severe weather to the forecast staff.
The primary data for this study were obtained from Storm Data for the years 1959 through 1998 (NOAA 1959-1998). Compilation of this data set and generation of the statistics was completed using Corel Quatro Pro.
a. Thunderstorms...Spring and Summer
The thunderstorm season in New Mexico is well defined, although it varies considerably between western and eastern sections of the state. The thunderstorm season begins over the High Plains of eastern New Mexico in mid- to late April, peaks in May and June, declines slightly in July and August, then drops sharply in September and October. In contrast, across western New Mexico there are few thunderstorms during the months of April, May and June, but a sharp increase in early July that continues through August, then the frequency of thunderstorms decreases rapidly in September. Over the central mountain chain, thunderstorms are an almost daily occurrence during July and August, especially over the northwest and north-central mountains of New Mexico. In fact, Rasmussen (1971) found the highest thunderstorm frequency in the U.S. for the June through August period was over the Colorado-New Mexico border.
With such a high occurrence of thunderstorms, New Mexico has the unfortunate distinction of having the highest per capita death rate in the Nation from lightning. In Table 1 the number of lightning deaths per million people by state is shown for the ten states with the highest death rate. This table was computed using 40 years of Storm Data statistics.
Table 1. Lightning Deaths Per Million People (1959-1999).

42.0 7.

35.2 9.
34.3 10.
Thunderstorms also have different characteristics within the state. Across the Eastern Plains thunderstorms often develop in a significantly sheared environment, either along a dryline or with a low-level moist inflow from the southeast, beneath a west or northwest flow in the mid- and high troposphere. These thunderstorms tend to be more organized, long-lived and occasionally severe, producing large hail, high winds and tornadoes. Thunderstorms in the west tend to be less severe on average, however, they do occasionally produce life-threatening flash floods and are noted for their prolific small hail accumulations. Most of the storms in western New Mexico are associated with the "Southwest Monsoon," especially over the southwest counties. Large hail and tornadoes over the west are rare, with the main threat being flash floods. After updating flood statistics described by Dittman (1994), the state ranks ninth in the nation in per capita deaths from flash floods. Table 2 shows the number of flash flood deaths per million people for the ten states with the highest death rates, as determined from Storm Data statistics.

b. Winter Weather...Fall Through Spring
Winter storms are a frequent occurrence across New Mexico from October into May. Snowfall within the state ranges from an average of under five inches per year at the lowest elevations of the Rio Grande Valley to between 200 and 300 inches in the higher elevations of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Sleet and freezing rain are rare, but they do occur, primarily on the Eastern Plains. Winter storms rank third in causing the most fatalities and injuries across the state each year on average. Only lightning and floods/flash floods result in more fatalities per year, and only lightning causes more injuries (Figs. 3 and 4). Spring is often the busiest time of the year at the WFO in Albuquerque. It is not unusual to have winter storm warnings, severe thunderstorm and tornado warnings, and high wind warnings in effect at the same time!
By definition, a severe thunderstorm produces a tornado, winds of at least 50 kt (58 mph), and/or hail at least 0.75 diameter (WSOM Chapter C-40). These three types of severe weather will be the primary focus of this study. As mentioned previously, this study will also briefly discuss other significant weather events in New Mexico, including flash floods, lightning, dry or wet microbursts, and dust devils. Fig. 5 lists the total number of all of these events by year. The noticeable increase in severe weather events since 1987 can be partially explained by the increase in population, measured public awareness and better storm spotter education and organization. It will be shown later that while the number of reported tornadoes exhibited little change from 1959 to 1998, there was a significant increase in the number of reported hail and flash flood events.
a. Tornadoes
Tornadoes are a common occurrence in New Mexico, primarily across the Eastern Plains. Fig. 6 shows the distribution of reported tornadoes by county since 1950, based on a 10,000 sq mi area. A distribution based on an area, rather than strictly by county, was used in order to show a more smoothed representation of the number of tornadoes over a given area. These statistics reveal that eastern New Mexico is the western extension of "tornado alley." Fig. 7 displays the number of reported tornadoes by year. Although the number varies widely from year-to-year, the average is about ten reported tornadoes per year. Despite the rather high frequency of tornadoes, only two fatalities have been reported since 1959, while 115 injuries were documented. The low number of fatalities can be partially explained by the strength of tornadoes found across the state. Since the mid-1980s, tornado strength has been measured using the Fujita Scale, or F-scale (Fujita 1981). This scale ranks tornadoes by damage intensity, with F0 being the weakest and F5 being the strongest. It is important to note the damage intensity was developed by relating wind speed ranges to various degrees of structural damage. With an obvious lack of structures in New Mexico, the application of the Fujita Scale is difficult. In Fig. 8, the reported New Mexico tornadoes are listed by F-scales. While the strength of many tornadoes is not known, less than 5% of the tornadoes with a known intensity are in the strong category (F2 or F3). For the period 1880-1989, Grazulis (1993) notes only four F3 tornadoes in New Mexico. Based on this information and Storm Data, it is clear that a high percentage of reported tornadoes in this state are weak, either F0 or F1.
Fig. 9 depicts the monthly frequency of all reported tornadoes. Over 95% of tornadic storms occur in April through September, with about 60% occurring in May and June. Tornadoes have been reported in all months except January, February and November, while F2 tornadoes were only recorded in May, June and July. Fig. 10 shows the frequency of tornadoes by hour, indicating a majority of tornadic storms occur between 2:00 PM and 7:00 PM MST. The number of tornadoes occurring after dark (8:00 PM MST) is very small, with no reports of tornadoes between 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM MST. This is likely another factor helping to keep the number of tornado fatalities and injuries low across New Mexico, since in other areas the threat of death or injury from nighttime tornadoes is significant.
b. Hail
Hail ranks as the most frequent type of severe weather in New Mexico, and it is responsible for a considerable percentage of property and crop damage. However, only one fatality and 20 injuries have been reported due to hail. Fig. 11 illustrates the number of hail events per year. As noted earlier, the significant increase since 1987 is likely due to an increase in population and land use, and an increase in public awareness of severe weather through more aggressive spotter training at the WFO in Albuquerque.
Fig. 12 shows the number of hail reports by month and by size. Damaging or severe hail (0.75 to 2.00 in) is most common in May and June, as is very large hail (over 2.00 in), although a significant number of hail reports also occur in July through September. The size of some reported hail is not known, but the reports were included in Storm Data because they caused significant crop and/or property damage, or had a significant accumulated depth. Those reports are included in this study due to their likelihood of meeting the size criterion for severe hail. Fig. 13 reveals damaging hail is most likely to fall in the afternoon and early evening, as is the case with tornadoes. Nearly 70% of the reported large hail events occurred between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM MST.
c. Wind
It is difficult to determine from Storm Data reports whether a high wind event was the result of a severe thunderstorm, microburst, or larger scale weather system, therefore, this study included any wind event which caused injury or fatalities. There have been four fatalities and over 100 injuries due to high winds. Fig. 14 shows the monthly frequency of all wind events. A pronounced summer maximum is evident, undoubtedly associated with thunderstorms. The spring and fall months contain wind damage from dry microbursts, when low-level moisture is often lacking. March through May also have a large number of events that are related to springtime winds, when relatively strong jet stream winds mix down to the surface. There is a significant number of wind events in the winter months of December through February as well, associated with large scale weather systems.
a. Flash Floods
Flash floods are responsible for more fatalities than any other weather event across the nation. In New Mexico, flash floods rank second to lightning in the number of reported fatalities (Fig. 3). The yearly distribution of flash floods is shown in Fig. 15, and as with the reported number of hail events, there has been a significant increase in reported flash floods since 1987. The monthly distribution of flash floods is shown in Fig. 16, illustrating a strong association with the summertime "Southwest Monsoon," with nearly two-thirds of the flash floods occurring in July and August. Unlike much of the western U.S., there is no significant secondary maximum in the winter months. Fig. 17 shows the distribution of flash floods by hour. Most of the flash floods occur between 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, similar to the peak hours of severe hail and tornadoes.
b. Lightning
Thunderstorms and lightning are a common occurrence in New Mexico, especially during the summer months. Because the state has one of the highest thunderstorm frequencies in the nation, New Mexico has the highest lightning fatalities per capita in the U.S. Fig. 18 depicts the monthly distribution of significant lightning events. We define "significant" lightning as causing death, injury or property damage such that the event is reported in Storm Data. The majority of lightning events occur in May through September, with a peak in July and August. This is slightly different from that of tornadoes and hail. The maximum infrequency of lightning events corresponds to the "Southwest Monsoon" of July and August.
The hourly distribution of lightning is shown in Fig. 19 and is similar to that of tornadoes and hail, except there is a pronounced early peak around noon MST. This early maximum is the result of the initial formation of thunderstorms over the mountains, particularly the northern mountains, and is supported by Fosdick and Watson (1985). The latter peak is the result of more widespread thunderstorm development during the afternoon and early evening hours.
c. Wind Events
As with much of the nation, New Mexico has its fair share of wet microbursts which produce damaging convective winds. They are most common during the heart of the summer, in July and August. The dry microburst is more unique and found mainly in the southwest U.S. and on the High Plains, just east of the Rocky Mountains. Conditions favorable for dry microbursts include a subtropical jet providing sufficient moisture to the mid and upper levels of the troposphere, with a deep, dry adiabatic layer in the low levels. These conditions are found most often across New Mexico in the transition periods into and out of summer. Only a very small sample of known microburst damage presented in Storm Data and no real microburst climatology exists. However, it is accepted by the staff at the WFO in Albuquerque that damaging winds from dry microbursts are a common occurrence in New Mexico and pose a danger to people and property.
Another fairly common wind event in this state is the dust devil. While most dust devils are harmless, overall they do cause several thousands of dollars of damage in New Mexico nearly every year. For that reason we consider them in the category of significant wind events. Sinclair (1973) provides a thorough description of this aspect of dust devils. The WFO Albuquerque staff has noted dust devils are strongest and occur with greater frequency on days with the greatest microburst potential. It is possible a few deaths attributed to tornadoes may actually have been caused by strong dust devils. In 1992, for example, a dust devil produced a 70 mph wind (measured) at the Albuquerque forecast office, equivalent to what could be expected in a typical severe thunderstorm.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows:

The aim of the project is to undertake the research for, and to publish/make accessible to scholars and the interested public, a comprehensive and integrated resource guide to landed estates and gentry houses in Conacht, c. 1700-1914, which will assist and support researchers working on the social, economic, political and cultural history of Connacht from c.1700 to 1914.
The project involves the distillation of data from a broad range of historical sources, and the concise codification of these data on an estate/name basis. With the completion of the Project, researchers in social history, social/cultural geography, landscape studies and local/family history will have acess to a reliable and efficient database on landed estates, houses in Connacht in the post-plantation centuries 9c. 1700-1914).

The 76ers on Thursday got center Kwame Brown's signature on a contract that will pay him $6 million over the next two seasons, his agent said.
"It's done. We signed today," Chicago-based Mark Bartelstein said when asked about the status of the deal that Brown and the Sixers agreed to last Friday
Brown, the first high school player taken with the No. 1 overall pick, in 2001, has averaged just 6.8 points and 5.6 rebounds per game over an 11-year career. Last season, he appeared in just nine games before suffering a torn pectoral muscle that required season-ending surgery.

|Yes, you can play Homeworld on your Macintosh! (Mac OS X required.) This was made possible when the developers, Relic, released the source code for the game. The Macintosh port is in active development with the collaboration of a number of volunteers in order to create a cross-platform version of Homeworld (see HomeworldSDL.org). The Macintosh version is currently incomplete, missing some major components such as sound and pre-rendered movie playback. However the game itself is otherwise quite playable.
|Unfortunately, Homeworld Cataclysm is NOT yet playable on the Macintosh. It is extremely unlikely that a commercial port would be done now, so the source code would have to be released for a port to happen. However, Homeworld Cataclysm was made by another company (Barking Dog Studios) under licence, so one cannot infer from Relic's release of the Homeworld source code the likelihood of the same thing happening for Homeworld Cataclysm.
|Homeworld 2 for Macintosh was released in September 2004, courtesy of Aspyr Media. Buy a copy now!

Budget outlook bleak for LSUE
By J.Anfenson-Comeau
It may not be doomsday, but the financial horizon is looking pretty grim for LSU at Eunice, which is facing a $1.29 million-dollar (15.5 percent) cut in state funding for the 2009-2010 fiscal year.
This cut is on top of the $379,000 mid-year cut LSUE took for the current fiscal year.
"It's cutting us down to the bone," Chancellor Bill Nunez said last week. "But at least it's not cutting into the marrow."
Last week, LSU System President John Lombardi announced that LSU campuses were preparing for an additional 15 percent cut in state funding for the next fiscal year.
These cuts take into account anticipated education funds in the federal stimulus package. When those funds run out in two years, the cuts could be much worse.
These cuts are especially painful to a small campus like LSUE, where over 80 percent of the budget is tied up in personnel.
"We've got more of ourselves invested in personnel than most campuses. In fact, we've always prided ourselves on the fact that we did have more focus on the classroom enterprise than any other campus in the state."
"The core of this enterprise is the education of the students, and that's what will take the biggest hit," Nunez said.
Nunez said that the budget cuts will force LSUE to eliminate 16 faculty and six staff positions.
Nunez stressed, however, that no full-time employees would be laid off.
"These positions are all vacant, retirees and adjunct (temporary faculty) positions," Nunez said.
"We've tried to anticipate and protect our work staff, our faculty ... by anticipating these economic circumstances ahead of time and sequestering these positions when they were identified as vacant or retiring."
Not filling these positions, however, will lead to larger classes and greater workload for faculty and staff.
In addition, LSUE will cut its operating costs, namely supplies, maintenance, travel, capital outlay and library funding,
State funding accounts for about 60 percent of LSUE's budget when tuition revenue and other sources are factored in. State schools, must get legislative approval to raise tuition.
Nunez noted that part of LSUE's appeal is its low cost, and raising tuition too high would be self-defeating.
The budget crisis is primarily due to the dramatic drop in oil prices and decreased tax revenues.

Then it got worse.
As the clock approached midnight on Feb. 21, a drunken Schiliro embarked on an ill-advised mission to redefine the term "public servant" in his blue-collar refinery town, according to a police report.
Schiliro, 38, allegedly turned the Marcus Hook Police Department into a private escort agency, ordering a cop on the late-night shift to bring a 20-year-old man to his house in a marked police vehicle.
He gave the man wine, then allegedly offered 20 to 30 times to perform oral sex on him, according to the report.

Religion and Political Economy in an International Panel
Robert J. Barro
Harvard University - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER)
Rachel M. McCleary
Harvard Kennedy School
May 2002
NBER Working Paper No. w8931
Economic and political developments affect religiosity, and the extent of religious participation and beliefs influence economic performance and political institutions. We study these two directions of causation in a broad cross-country panel that includes survey information over the last 20 years on church attendance and an array of religious beliefs. Although religiosity declines overall with economic development, the nature of the response varies with the dimension of development. Church attendance and religious beliefs are positively related to education (thereby conflicting with theories in which religion reflects non-scientific thinking) and negatively related to urbanization. Attendance also declines with higher life expectancy and lower fertility. We investigate the effects of official state religions, government regulation of the religion market, Communism, religious pluralism, and the denominational composition of religious adherence. On the other side, we find that economic growth responds positively to the extent of some religious beliefs but negatively to church attendance. That is, growth depends on the extent of believing relative to belonging. These results hold up when we use as instrumental variables the measures of official state religion, government regulation, and religious pluralism.

Some of these are tough issues like supporting homeless young people, working to improve family relationships and supporting children in schools with issues like bullying. The Aspire Centre focuses on the 16 to 25 year old age group and provides a roof over their heads and a range of support to help them towards an independent life. This may involve helping them with education, training, finding a job and planning career steps. They also help develop their life skills such as cooking and budgeting. Many thanks to Chris at Aspire for giving us this opportunity to support them and Jeremy for all his help, without whom we would never have been able to provide such an amazing garden.

Senate rules fight today a big deal for a Battle Creek woman
Unions have had an ongoing campaign to force the Senate to vote on the NLRB nominees this week. Majority Leader Harry Reid planned to change the filibuster rule to eliminate the Republicans' roadblock.
D.C. court nominations put spotlight on filibuster
"The country needs a Senate that works as our founders intended."
Filibusters linked to McConnell campaign cash
While raking in campaign cash from at least eight donors, Mitch McConnell was busy launching filibusters against measures opposed by those same financial backers.
Filibuster curbs defeated
A campaign backed by organized labor, to curb the power of Senate minorities to halt virtually every piece of legislation by filibustering, went down in flames in the tradition-bound chamber on Jan. 27.
No more filibuster
The U.S. Senate should revise its rules on filibusters and consent for judicial nominations in order to stop the growing trend of gridlock and indecision
After NLRB vote, senators call to end filibuster rule
President Obama's nomination of labor lawyer Craig Becker to the National Labor Relations Board was squashed in a Republican filibuster in the Senate yesterday.

Drivers and passersby in Bothell yesterday may have raised an eyebrow if they happened across this scene:
Marshawn Lynch, dressed as a thug, standing outside a bank and holding an automatic weapon.
Now, before you think "Jeez, Lynch, how can you be this desperate for cash after signing a deal worth something like $18 million," rest assured that the bank was a set, the gun was a fake, and Lynch was only acting. Sort of.
This surreal scene was the day's set for "Matt's Chance," a new feature film being shot in Seattle, starring Lee Majors, Edward Furlong, Gary Busey, and none other than our favorite Skittle-munching running back. The production company, Mirror Images Ltd., had tapped Lynch to play a role in the film, and the end result was a running-back-turned-actor who can barely contain his excitement in every shot.
Without giving any film details away, the day's focus was getting several scenes of a bank robbery filmed, which consisted of Lynch and two other masked, gun-toting actors storming into a bank and screaming a lot. As with most movie sets, nothing ever goes exactly as planned in one take, so myself and fellow blogger Daniel Luu got a close-up look at Marshawn Lynch being….well, himself…over and over.
"He just kind of keeps going after the cameras turn off," said Sophia Perez, our press contact for the day. "It's really funny to watch."
Sophia had been kind enough to reach out to SeahawkAddicts a few days before. She said watching Marshawn act had been the most amusing part of the movie so far — even more so than watching Edward Furlong getting dumped into Greenlake this week. (Yes, that actually happened. As part of filming, I'd hope.)
On the set of the bank, time and time again, Lynch was completely intense and in character. But that was contrasted sharply with the kind of goofy, light-hearted person Lynch is when the camera turned off. When someone yelled "Cut!" it was either as if he didn't hear it, or might be looking at the beginnings of a career in improv.
During one scene, instead of going for the intimidation factor, Lynch walked in, unmasked and smiling. He approached the counter with his gun pointing at the ground, smiling.
"Can y'all just give us the money?" he asked. "I was just thinkin', y'know, I don't like all this violence, man…" and he tried to go on, but cracked himself up in the process and ran out of the building, laughing hysterically.
Everyone in attendance, including Eric Williams from the Tacoma News-Tribune, laughed just as hard.
The day's filming almost transformed into the Marshawn Lynch Show, had it not been for the presence of an actual movie being filmed and several other actors involved. After the scene was wrapped, the actors and some of the crew migrated over to a small converted storefront being used as a makeup and wardrobe area. Lynch was there, surrounded by several people of course, but he wasn't above shaking hands with Daniel and myself, making eye contact and being genuine about the encounter. When he said "nice to meet you both," he said it like he meant it. He could've easily snubbed the both of us entirely, but instead we had a brief conversation about the cookies his friend baked him and laughed more.
It's not every day you get to shake hands and laugh with your favorite NFL running back. What was perhaps even more comforting was the fact that said running back is a humble, funny and approachable guy; appreciative to his fans and not afraid to be a dork.
"Matt's Chance" will finish filming this week in Seattle, and should be set for a summer release date. It'll be submitted to several festivals with the hope of a major release soon after that.

Recognizing Quality. From Thomasville
Quality wood products and artistic face veneers are hallmarks of the Thomasville brand. No matter where in the world we manufacture our wood pieces, dedicated craftsman and consistent inspection of quality standards ensure that the highest quality. The beauty of Thomasville wood products is apparent to consumers because of the attention paid to aesthetic details. Product development and production teams determine the ideal wood species for the desired surface texture and for its ability to readily accept specific design details. Hardware and finishes are carefully chosen to reflect the desired look of every collection. Careful thought and creative energy is given to scale, proportion and design. However, the quality and performance of Thomasville wood products is not readily seen or known by consumers. So it is up to you to point out the many quality steps and materials used.
Wood is kiln dried to 6-8% moisture, which is the moisture content of most homes. This process prevents fissures and cracks, assuring long-term use-ability.
Solid wood parts are premium grade hardwood, devoid of any natural feature that would adversely affect strength, such as open knots.
Veneer panels are constructed with waterproof glues to ensure performance over time.
Back panels are constructed of 1/8" hardboard or plywood and, because they are not a structural component of the case, they are fastened by staples and screws.
Drawer bottom panels are constructed of 3.6 mm plywood.
Hardware metals have rust and tarnish proof finishes Screws and staples also have protective coatings applied.
Veneer is featured both for structural integrity and for visual appeal, allowing multiple woods to be combined in a variety of shapes and patterns. Veneered pieces are more stable than solid wood when exposed to temperature and humidity changes.
Solid wood components are graded by trained inspectors according to hardwood industry guidelines.
Veneers are hand selected, following our specifications of figure and grade quality.return to top of page
Construction & Craftsmanship. From Thomasville
- Doors are aligned to ensure uniform clearance and operation, free of squeaking and rattling.
- To prevent glass chipping and eliminate rattling, adjustable glass shelves are held in place by rubber coated pins. Grooves routed into the shelves allow for stable display of accessories.
- Adjustable leveling guides allow for a level unit on uneven floors.
- Over 30 parts and 160 manufacturing steps ensure well-engineered chairs.
- Glue performance tests, and stress and weight tests assure quality performance.
- Kiln dried woods and fluted, triple doweled seat rails provide sturdy joints.
- Corner blocks and interlocking finger joints provide strength and durability.
Natural Characteristics of Wood. From Thomasville
Every wood species has unique characteristics. These elements are 'nature's signature'; reflecting the unique life of each tree. Examples are grain patterns, knots, mineral streaks and pin dots to name a few. It's essential to point out these characteristics as you are finalizing wood selections with customers. Identify these 'character marks' as a 'positive' feature when initially identifying wood collections. Discuss how the piece they order will be different from the display sample they are looking at in the store. Wood is a 'living' product in the forest and in your customer's home. Be confident in presenting the unique grain patterns and natural markings as adding value to every piece they invest in. This avoids any negative response to these distinctive details at delivery!return to top of page
Grain Patterns. From Thomasville
Notice the unique grain patterns on this wood piece. Grain patterns tell a story of the life of a tree, as each ring represents an individual year of growth. Grain patterns add visual interest and character to wood pieces because of the contrasting shapes and colors they provide to the wood surfaces. In this way, they're similar to patterns in textiles, adding visual interest by incorporating contrasting colors and shapes.return to top of page
Mineral Streaks. From Thomasville
Notice the mineral streaks on this wood piece. They're created when a tree absorbs minerals naturally through the root system or from an insect hole. Oxidation occurs and causes these dramatic and distinctive markings, making each wood board unique.return to top of page
Color & Grain. From Thomasville
Because no two trees are identical in nature, the same is true of the boards we cut Variation from them. Each board absorbs stain differently. Heartwood from the center of the tree is darker and denser than Sapwood. Sapwood is lighter because it represents more recent growth on the outer perimeter of a tree. These color variations create a highly desirable color contrast that adds visual dimension and appeal to flat surfaces; much like veneer patterns.return to top of page
Knots - Pin or Bud knots are small, dark round circles marking where a branch grew on a tree but failed to mature. Large, solid knots are larger dark circles marking mature branch growth. Both tell the story of the tree and provide wonderful shape and color contrast to the overall board color and linear grain patterns.

Love and Relationships Articles
Being "Real"
in Your Relationships
by Susie And Otto
This week we joined the 20-something masses and
attended a Dave Mathews Band concert. They played a song called,
"Ants Marching" and we felt like the lyrics really told the
story of a lot of relationships and lives.
In his song, Dave depicts the average life and the
average relationship. "He wakes up in the morning, Does his teeth,
Bite to eat and he's rolling. Never changes a thing. The week ends, the
week begins. She thinks, we look at each other Wondering what the other is
thinking But we never say a thing And these crimes between us grow deeper. Take these chances. Place them in a box until a quieter time.
Lights down, you up and die."
What Dave's really saying in his blunt way is that
most of us in our relationships aren't willing to speak our truth about
our thoughts and we end up taking these thoughts, unspoken, to our graves.
The great motivational speaker Zig Ziglar talks about
the tragedy of people going to their graves with their music still in
them--not living their lives to the fullest.
If you want your relationships to be
"real," alive and powerful, we suggest the concept of spiritual
partnership. A spiritual partnership is not about religion--it's about two
people coming together, using their relationship as a venue to heal, learn
and grow.
How is a spiritual partnership different from other
types of relationships?
In a spiritual partnership, (this can be any
relationship) each partner is committed to telling the truth, and not
holding back, however painful it might be. The relationship
is alive, growing, and filled with passion because of constant
communication and being willing to tackle issues as they arrive.
Each partner can be himself or herself--with no hiding.
This concept was introduced to the masses by Gary
Zukav's book "Seat of the Soul."
We were dramatically impacted by this concept and it has changed
our lives forever.
So how often are you not living your truth in
relationships? What is the underlying fear that comes up for you when you
think about telling your truth? We all have relationships
where we don't feel safe enough to be open and honest. Those relationships
are dead and aren't going anywhere.
We've found that Steven Covey's phrase, "Old
resentments never die--they just get buried alive and come up later in
uglier ways," is so true. Haven't you had that happen
in your life? If you just
bury a hurt feeling or misunderstanding, it just comes up later in another
situation or with another person as misplaced anger.
So we have found that the only way to create
outstanding relationships of all kinds is to have open, honest
communication at all times and by doing it in such a way that the other
person can hear your truth.
This is tough. But
what is tougher is having a relationship that is mired in unspoken issues.
Do what Susan Jeffers suggests, "Feel the fear and do it
anyway." When you do,
your relationships will be more real and honest.
So we challenge you this week to choose a
relationship or situation that needs to be healed and tackle just one
small issue that stands in the way of a more harmonious relationship.
If you do, you'll be one step closer to forming a
great spiritual partnership with that other person.
