In This Music, It's All About the Structure
Finnish Architect Gives the Burbs a Really Bad Rap
Architecture lectures commonly involve laser pointers and slides. In his, architect Tuomas Toivonen prefers throbbing bass and electronic drums.
"U is for Utopia, U is for Utopia," Mr. Toivonen rapped at a recent New York performance of his new record, which he bills as "an architectural album." Yes, he makes records, too.
The 35-year-old Finn was wearing jeans and a blazer, moving his hands like a hip-hop star as he delivered a musical lecture to a bewildered, though dancing, crowd.
Hear Excerpts of Tuomas Toivonen's Songs
Click on the right side of the image to hear more excerpts.
He rapped about his love for cities and disdain for sprawl. "To heal the festering Metropolis by creation of tabula rasa," the song continued. "Instead the postwar need and greed sparks the big bang of Suburbia."
A clash has been playing out for decades between those who champion densely populated cities with lots of public transportation and others who prefer the leafy and car-centric suburbs.
The fight normally plays out on editorial pages or blogs such as New Geography and the Transport Politic. Mr. Toivonen—who is against sprawl—has put his opinions to music.
His new album, "Urbanism in the House," is a seven-song vinyl record with lyrics that jump from architectural history to policy prescriptions, all laid over heavy percussion and electronic beats.
"The world has been waiting for architecture and house [music]," said Mr. Toivonen, who lives and works in Helsinki.
Mr. Toivonen isn't the first songwriter to deal with city and suburb in music. The 1962 Malvina Reynolds song "Little Boxes" dealt with suburban conformity. Talking Heads mused on the character of places such as London in 1979's "Cities." The 1980s rap group N.W.A. depicted a bleak inner city. These days, Arcade Fire is pooh-poohing "The Suburbs" ("Dead shopping malls rise like mountains beyond mountains").
But few can claim to have been quite as literal as Mr. Toivonen gets in his lyrics, which sometimes seem to have been cribbed from a PowerPoint slide. "Our generation's challenge/is learning to live peacefully and sustainably/in an extraordinarily crowded world," goes a song called "Masterplan."
Others are more oblique: "Sticks and Stones/Loans and Homes/Maintain the Balance/Steel Skeleton Bones," is from the song "More=Less." The lesson: the need for multi-use buildings.
Mr. Toivonen isn't likely to be playing to sold-out arena audiences. There are only a thousand or so copies of his album extant. He performs mostly at architecture conferences, with a few scattered dates at clubs and art shows.
His lofty themes can fly right over the heads of average listeners. At the recent performance in New York, held at a Scandinavian art show, Ian Shapolsky was moving to the music, but afterward admitted he had no idea what was being said. "I couldn't really follow anything he was rapping about," said Mr. Shapolsky.
Still, Mr. Shapolsky says he plans to buy the album for its shock value. "Nobody will ever believe there is a rapper, from Finland, who raps in English about urban themes."
Mr. Toivonen runs a four-person architecture firm in Helsinki called NOW. It does a mix of residential and commercial projects, such as 16 row houses that the firm is designing in Espoo, Finland, outside Helsinki.
He says for most of his life he has been fascinated with two things: Music and cities. In the 1990s, Mr. Toivonen sang in a Finnish rock band called Giant Robot, which had a percussive sound and rhythmic music. Over time, architectural themes started worming their way into the lyrics.
A frequent lecturer, Mr. Toivonen says over the past few years he has noticed that presenters are getting less time to speak. At one extreme are so-called PechaKucha presentations, which started in Japan: design lectures where presenters are limited to 20 images about which they speak 20 seconds each.
"It's really rare to attend a two-hour lecture anymore," said Mr. Toivonen. "People have started to do their presentations in a different way."
So, about a year ago, Mr. Toivonen got the idea to compress his lectures into an album. He says he considers "Urbanism in the House" to be a musical architecture lecture with a lyric sheet that doubles as a book. "In three minutes, you can convey a lot of information that you wouldn't be able to with just talking," he said. The album was produced with around $1,450 of his firm's money.
On a recent afternoon, Tom Silverman, founder of the Tommy Boy record label, which produced records from hip-hop groups including De La Soul, sat down to listen to Mr. Toivonen's record. Mr. Silverman said the Finn's beats reminded him of Kraftwerk, the German band that pioneered electronic music.
The music throbbed from speakers around the room, and Mr. Silverman thumbed through the lyric sheet. Now and then he stopped to read aloud the name of an architect he recognized.
"'Buckminster Fuller is in the house,'" Mr. Silverman said, reading the lyrics to Mr. Toivonen's song "Teachers," an ode to famous architects.
Though neat for a lecture, Mr. Silverman says, Mr. Toivonen's songs could benefit from some editing. "In a song, you can't get across this much. You have verse chorus verse chorus," he said. "He's just got too much to say."

Low testosterone is hitting men below the belt, leaving behind a negative effect on their physical and emotional health.
"When you are young you have high levels and as you age those levels gradually decrease. But it can lead to a lot of symptoms and side effects. Symptoms can be fatigue, decreased sexual desire, generalized muscle weakness, weak bones. It can also lead to cardiac disease and diabetes," says Dr. James Borden, urologist with Lee Memorial Health System's medical staff.
Weight gain is also associated with low t. Sometimes called hypogonadism, the sex glands produce little or no hormones. Low testosterone is a medical condition that can be confirmed with a blood test.
"We check a testosterone level to determine if it's below normal. A testosterone level less than 200 definitely would be a low level. Not everyone has symptoms, so you have to match the symptoms with the level," says Dr. Borden.
If levels are low and symptoms are high, doctors will often recommend hormone replacement. It can come in the form of injections, gels and implantable pellets. They work the same, delivering a steady dose of hormone.
"You have to be on testosterone for three or four months before you actually can determine if your symptoms are better. So it's not an initial response. You may see some improvement right away, but to really know if it's going to work a trial of three or four months is preferable," says Dr. Borden.
The FDA approved hormone replacement for men who meet the criteria, and should be carried out under a doctor's supervision.
"You do have to monitor someone's blood count to make sure the red blood cell count does not go up. You should monitor someone for prostate cancer, although testosterone replacement doesn't cause prostate cancer, you want to make sure you don't stimulate something that was not visible before," says Dr. Borden.
Low t isn't something men like to crow about, though many could benefit from therapy."About 16 million men suffer from low testosterone but only 10% are receiving treatment, so it's really an under treated problem," says Dr. Borden

Analyst spells out the new Nexus 7 tablet specs: WUXGA display, quad-core Snapdragon, same sub-$200 tag
0. phoneArena 10 May 2013, 01:36 posted on
Waiting for Google's I/O conference next week? So are we, as the company might do a trick, pulling out an updated Nexus tablet out of the proverbial hat. KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo issued a note to clients the expected specs, which mostly jibe with what we've heard so far, at least regarding the higher-res screen...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Doesn't matter it will probably cost more outside non-google play countries
10. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
Unfortunately that's true, anyway Asus (contrary to what LG did with the nexus 4) maintained a favorable price/performance ratio even where the nexus 7 was not subsidized by Google. Here in Italy the nexus 7 starts from eur 199 and though the price can't be compared with the US price, it is still one of the best tablets around for that price, if not the best. That's why I'm happy that the next nex7 will be made by asus again (but I also hope that google will open the devices store soon, unless they want to give up entire markets to microsoft)m
16. anywherehome (Posts: 971; Member since: 13 Dec 2011)
yes, but the most important is to teach people spend money for the online services (+ ads) so subsidized great tablets are just for more developed countries....understandable = go after effectivity
despite my country suffers from this attitude :)
but this solution is great for world's progress = throw out overpriced incapable Microsoft + Apple = don't pay for OS = pay just for services = and the future bright :)
18. Nikolas.Oliver (banned) (Posts: 1574; Member since: 01 Jul 2012)
Google doesn't subsidize nexus devices...please guys
it is just a lame excuse used by LG to justifty their pricing
26. tusshharish (Posts: 342; Member since: 23 Oct 2012)
so according to above .......next version of android is 4.3......
35. sharks (Posts: 236; Member since: 16 Feb 2013)
True. But for whatever price it may be, you'll get yourself VERY decent hardware, with a classy 323 PPI at a price that beats any other tablets of that size (including the iPad mini and upcoming iPad mini 2) outside non-Google store countries.
2. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5711; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
i'll probably get one if there's nothing new regarding a 10.1" tablet whether it's a price drop of the N10, a new variant of the N10 or a new 10.1" tablet altogether. i'd love a Nexus 8 though. o:
43. AFnerdTP (unregistered)
i second this. love the tab 7.7.. waiting for an upgrade of similar size.. you may have my thumbs up.
3. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Sounds like a nice upgrade to the Nexus 7, but I'm still waiting on a 8" or 9" Nexus tablet with similar specs, maybe with a Snapdragon 600 instead. Hoping to see an upgrade of equal proportions on the new Nexus 10.
9. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
APQ8064 is a great processor, it is for example in nexus 4. Snapdragon 600 is a mild upgrade from APQ8064, it has same graphics (adreno 320), it only uses new Krait 300 cores which is a very small upgrade, I believe it has more memory bandwidth. Snapdragon 600 costs 30 bucks which is way too much for a 200 buck tablet. So that is why I wouldn´t use Snapdragon 600 or even a better processor like Tegra 4.
24. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
I know the S4 Pro is very capable in the Nexus 7, but I was saying to use the Snapdragon 600 in an 8" or 9" tablet.
The Snapdragon 600 is a pretty moderate step up from the APQ8064 in both CPU and GPU power, as you can see here;
The S600 (whether in the GS4 or the One) outperforms the APQ8064 in all tests, most of which by a fair margin. The APQ8064 is perfect for a low cost tablet like the Nexus 7, but the Snapdragon 600 would be better suited for a 8" or 9" tablet that would cost a little more, which is what I was saying.
30. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
SGS4 has a modified S600, but if you look at HTC ONE vs Nexus 4. Then it is almost the same in GPU performance, actually Nexus 4 has more performance than ONE or SGS4 because it has 720p display. Benchmarks are easily optimized and that is why ONE or SGS4 has ´´more´´ performance, look at xda or anandtech. S600 has is a very mild upgrade to apq8064 (nexus4). Krait 400 cores are an upgrade but not 300. The S600 is looking way better in benchmarks than apq8064 so that it seems like a great upgrade.
31. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Even when comparing the HTC One to the Nexus 4, it still is a moderate upgrade in CPU power. That's due to the 200 MHz bump and also slight architecture differences that give Krait 300 an advantage of about 20-30% overall.
With GPU power, they are about the same, but the One still takes the lead by a small margin overall; which is even more impressive considering how much higher the resolution on the One is.
I've looked at XDA and Anandtech, I actually put links to Anandtech in my previous post, and the Snapdragon 600, whether the modified version in the GS4 or the stock version in the One, is a moderate upgrade in CPU and GPU performance to the APQ8064.
34. Pedro0x (Posts: 271; Member since: 19 Oct 2012)
Yes Qualcomm is really owning this year, faster processor (S600 vs apq8064) and less energy. This idea of making a hybrid between A9 and A15 is ingenious, I have no idea why no one else is doing this. I hope that in 2014 Qualcomm will make a hybrid between A15 and A57, nothing will stand in its way :).
About GPU : entirely theoretical Nexus 4 should have more performance because ONE has 115% more pixels and exactly the same GPU (overclocked a bit) so it is impossible for ONE to have a lead there. Just look on 3D Mark benchmark for smartphones, Nexus 4 leads there with like 70-80%.
36. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Well, Apple is kind of doing it with their Swift architecture; considering the A6 chip in the iPhone 5 is dual core clocked at 1.3 GHz, it scores fairly well in CPU benchmarks. Though I doubt they match the low power consumption that Qualcomm's chips have, it's definitely better than A15.
12. boosook (Posts: 1437; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
I don't think you'll ever see it.... Google focused on 7'' and 10'' and there's no room in between. Either you choose 7'' or 8''. That said, and being a nexus 7 owner, I think that 7'' is a great size.
25. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
A man can dream, can't he?
4. Scarambay (Posts: 88; Member since: 18 Jan 2013)
Google might seriously want to consider opening a Play Store in India given the huge number of potential customers for Nexus Phones and Tablets.
8. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
No offense but India is not a consumer country yet (in the webspace sense). Yes a lot of people in India will definitely buy Nexus devices but what will Google get out of them? Google gets revenue from people with purchasing power (I'm not being racist), I'm referring to people who click on ads and eventually purchases something or registers/subscribes to a paid service, and majority of these kinds of people are from first world countries that's why the Play Store (for devices) are available only in these countries.
Sad news is most South-East Asian nations also aren't getting any Google-love.

Indians are notorious penny - pinchers...they won't spend a dime on apps (where google thrives) trust me,....I've had so many Indian co workers and they all rely on pirate Apk sites as their main source of paid (cough) apps
I have given my Indian friend an excellent $400 deal to sell my Note 2 to him and all he said was "Lower it even further, it's still pricey"
39. tech2 (Posts: 3455; Member since: 26 Oct 2012)
1. You are selling a used device. The warranty of which will end shortly.
2. The device is 6 months old and the successor (sort of, difference of only 0.5 inch) GS4 is available on market.
3. Price on amazon for unlocked version is $550
4. You aren't going through any commercial channels to sell him i.e. websites or vendors. Otherwise you'd have to pay 2-5% of your sale value to the website.
5. I don't know what country you are from but in UK a vendor was selling it for £230 (used).
All that for only $150 cheaper ?
You see the thing is indians are not stupid. We value money and so we like to think rationally before spending. Lastly, even though you may be correct in your own way but calling an entire race penny pinchers because of an individual is a sign of bigoted and racist personality.
FYI, that was his polite way of refusing the offer as you are his so called 'friend' !
19. indianapple89 (Posts: 47; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
I'm from India, and Google already offers 16 and 32 GB WiFi-only versions of Nexus 7 via its Play Store here.
23. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
But the price is not subsidized. In this case Google will earn from the hardware sale.
28. indianapple89 (Posts: 47; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
Maybe compared to the US version, the price is on the high side. But its still less than what Asus was selling them for earlier directly. Also taxes are on the higher side.
Still for about Rs. 16k (~ $290) its still cheap here for the specs compared to the competition. Not to mention, regular updates from Google and the stock experience.
29. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
True. The regular updates and the vanilla experience is more than enough to justify the Nexus 7 price. I was wondering, since you're from India, are there any 7" Micromax tabs? Their A116 Canvas HD is selling like crazy and is being rebranded everywhere. Good value for money device.
5. Reverence (Posts: 224; Member since: 16 Jul 2012)
S4 pro??
I want a minimum of s600 or tegra 4
15. IliyaBeshkov (Posts: 261; Member since: 09 Jul 2012)
Give me a break... S4 Pro is still a solid performer with Adreno 320!!
You want a S600, S800, T4 tablet... make your own tablet and stop complaining...
27. Berzerk000 (Posts: 4275; Member since: 26 Jun 2011)
Considering it will cost about $200, a 7" full HD tablet with the S4 Pro is a VERY good deal.
6. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
How can it have those specs for that price?
Sounds a bit too optimistic, this
13. FlushGordon (unregistered)
They will sell it at a loss/break even scheme hoping to recoup their losses through app purchases from the Play Store
7. cezarepc (Posts: 714; Member since: 23 Nov 2012)
Got my Nexus 7 2nd half of last year and it's still a great performer. Some games shows lag but overall it's still a great piece of Android awesomeness. I'll probably get the 2nd gen when my tab starts to struggle with at least 40% of the latest high-end apps.
11. galanoth (Posts: 425; Member since: 26 Nov 2011)
323 ppi.
I'd really like a Nexus 8 inch instead of 7 inch though.
14. jove39 (Posts: 1858; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Hope this rumour turns out to be true!!!
20. TylerGrunter (Posts: 1522; Member since: 16 Feb 2012)
If all that's true, that's going to be my first tablet. I only hope I don't have to keep hitting the refresh button for too many days to get it :D
21. funnyguy (banned) (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
Nexus 7 again???
With soft keys of stock android you don't even get 7 inches you get 6.8 inches or something..
Make it a Nexus 8 google...
And give it for free ....
That's the only way to compete with apple ....
40. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
"And give it for free ..."
Please re-read what you've wrote because that made no sense at all.
42. funnyguy (banned) (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
What i mean is that since android is open and free, with adds...
They should put some coca cola and nike advertising stickers on the nexus and give it fee..
Its gonna be a perfect adds in an out experience...
22. kanagadeepan (Posts: 922; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
OH... Yet another analyst giving time pass rumors....
32. Wiki_jaan (Posts: 704; Member since: 24 Jun 2012)
now its a rocking 323 ppi display
33. fanboy1974 (Posts: 1345; Member since: 12 Nov 2011)
I'm in if those specs are true. Especially if they can price a 16gig model at $200.
37. downphoenix (Posts: 3165; Member since: 19 Jun 2010)
If its at least 16GB memory for that price, it will be MINE, although I would honestly probably pay $50 more to double memory :)
And it will also be the highest resolution device I'll have. My TV and PC monitors max at 1366x768 and my phone is 1280x720.
38. funnyguy (banned) (Posts: 244; Member since: 10 Jan 2013)
Reading the title I thought it was a quad core snapdragon and same 200$ Lag...
But it sais The same 200$ Tag not Lag..

Carroll's Health and Physical Education program is housed in the Education department. Given current American health trends, there is great urgency in helping this and future generations of children, adolescents, adults and senior citizens to create healthier life styles inclusive of physical activity and exercise. Health & Physical Education (K-12) teachers play a vital role in promoting healthy life styles. The Health and Physical Education (K-12) major provides students with a diverse range of instruction and opportunities within the areas of health and physical education. This degree serves as the gateway to qualifying for State K-12 teaching licensure.
This degree serves as the gateway to qualification for state certification to teach classes from Kindergarten through 12th grade. Graduates go on to work in a variety of education related roles, from activity coaches to physical education specialists to early childhood motor skills instructors and more. Many of our graduates have also gone on to pursue Master's degrees at schools such as Regis University, Montana State University, and the University of Montana.
The mission of the department relates to the Mission Statement as well as the six goals of the college. A common model for most Health and Physical Education programs includes six dimensions of optimal well being (physical, emotional, intellectual, social, spiritual, and environmental). Within these six dimensions can be found the essence of the Carroll College Mission Statement, as well as the Health and Physical Education program. The Carroll College Mission Statement as well as the six goals and the Carroll College goals and objectives have guided and directed the development of the Health and Physical Education major.

There's no place like home for the holiday. After getting pounded on the road for three in Chicago, the Indians will return home to face the dilapidated Royals on Memorial Day. The Indians have won four of six against Kansas City so far this year and will look to continue on at that pace. With the sweep by the White Sox the Tribe have fallen to a half game lead over those same Sox. Chicago will be playing against the second best team in the American League (Tampa Bay) so the Indians have a good chance to make up at least a game during this series.
After going through the first month and a half with only minor injuries (Grady Sizemore, Jack Hannahan, Josh Tomlin), the final game against Detroit was a disaster. Travis Hafner is still day-to-day after missing the entire series in Chicago as is Asdrubal Cabrera. If that's not bad enough, Carlos Santana remains on the disabled list and his replacement, Lou Marson, was hit in the face with a baseball yesterday. Luckily, Lou Marson's face is made of concrete so he shouldn't miss any more time. In all the moves to create depth after the injuries, Rafael Perez was placed on the 60 day DL, keeping him out until the middle of June.
*Roster Update: Jack Hannahan has been placed on the 15 day DL with a strained hamstring and Lonnie Chisenhall has been brought up in his place (best injury call up ever). To make room for Josh Tomlin on the roster, Jairo Asencio has been designated for assignment. He is out of options and will be exposed to waivers. If he clears waivers he can be sent to Columbus. If he doesn't the Indians have 10 days to trade or release him or to bring him back to the MLB team.
May 28th, 4:05 EST: Nathan Adcock, RHP, 0-2, 2.33 ERA vs Josh Tomlin, RHP, 1-2, 4.67 ERA
One player is returning from injury after all the pain that happened in Chicago. Josh Tomlin will be coming off the 15 day DL to take the place of Zach McAllister in the rotation. McAllister pitched well with the team during this time around, but he doesn't have the consistency or the ability to completely dominate that Josh Tomlin brings to every game yet. He will certainly play a part in the future of this team, probably again later this season when Derek Lowe's arm falls off or when some other less likely injury scenario occurs.
The Indians haven't faced Adcock this season as he will be making his second start of the year. They did face him last season, twice in relief as he came in for long relief in two Indians routs. He pitched well in both games, especially considering the Indians won the two games with a combined score of 26-3. Adcock only gave up a single earned run in 4.2 innings pitched over the two games.
May 29th, 7:05 EST: Will Smith, LHP, 0-1, 13.50 ERA vs Justin Masterson, RHP, 2-3, 4.62 ERA
The Indians will face the rapper turned actor turned white left handed pitcher and look to turn around their recent failures against lefties making their debut against the team. If only they had Carlos Santana available, the Tribe Called Tribe would certainly be able to win this battle of the bands.
Justin Masterson just pitched his best game of the season for his second win o the year and Travis Hafner and Asdrubal Cabrera are scheduled to return during this game against a young pitcher with an ERA over 10.00. This game should be a laugher for the Tribe, but you never know. Be prepared for another low scoring game as the Indians hitters attempt to make Will Smith look like Justin Verlander.
May 30th, 12:05 PM: Bruce Chen, RHP, 3-5, 4.81 ERA vs Jeanmar Gomez, RHP, 3-3, 3.94 ERA
Bruce Chen certainly has a history against the Indians as he has played with Kansas City since 2009. The lefty made his Major League debut in 1998, puting him about 10 years behind Jamie Moyer and yet still one of the longest tenured players in the Major Leagues. He is yet to play against the Indians this season.
Ever since his suspension, Jeanmar has thrown into the 6th inning in every single start. He was pitching very well, in fact, until the last game against the White Sox pushed his ERA from 3.19 to 4.94. Before that he had two consecutive games with no earned runs allowed. The only two games this season that Gomez has allowed more than 3 runs in a single game have both came against the White Sox, so hopefully that is all behind him now and the Indians can work their rotation to keep him out of any more games on the South Side.

Lake Shore Bancorp reported net income of $899,000 in the second quarter, up 12.4 percent from a year ago.
The Dunkirk-based parent of Lake Shore Savings Bank said it benefited from higher non-interest income, while its net interest income and non-interest expense held steady during the quarter.
The bank's diluted earnings per share increased to 16 cents from 14 cents a year ago.
Lake Shore continues to work on building up its commercial loan portfolio, said Daniel P. Reininga, Lake Shore's president and chief executive officer. "There are many opportunities in the marketplace right now, and obviously all banks are interested that they have a commercial presence for those opportunities," especially with economic development projects underway in Buffalo, Rochester and in places between those cities, he said.
Lake Shore divides its commercial lending opportunities into market sectors, or "buckets," evaluates the risk with each and sets concentration limits by sector, based on risk, Reininga said. The bank is also preparing to bring aboard a new executive vice president of its commercial division, effective next week, Reininga said.
During the second quarter, Lake Shore's net interest income from making loans and taking deposits was $3.7 million, unchanged from a year ago. The bank's non-interest income was $670,000, up 30 percent from the second quarter of 2013. A substantial part of that increase resulted from $157,000 in net gains from sales of investment securities.
And Lake Shore's non-interest expense was unchanged at $3.3 million. The bank recorded higher costs for occupancy, equipment and data processing, but that was offset by reduced spending on professional services and other areas.

Heading into the 2009 NFL season, there are seven or eight quarterbacks who are in the discussion to make the "top five" list in the NFC. This is one of the many reasons 2009 sets up as a very interesting fantasy football season.
One mistake I often see from fantasy owners is that they often rely too heavily on numbers from the year before to analyze what a player will do in the season to come. Beware to not miss the forest, for the trees.
One of the strongest quarterbacks not to make my top five is Jake Delhomme, who is pictured above. Without going into a full blown analysis and explanation of his merits, I will simply state—any time Steve Smith is your number one target, you have a good chance of putting up healthy numbers against any opponent.
Without further ado, here are the top five NFC quarterbacks for 2009. Let the discussion begin.

It's clear that medieval England did not have its own versionof Dr. Ruth. However, if it did, she certainly would have been aghast at the repressive suits of armor worn by Uther (Gabriel Byrne), his son, King Arthur (Nigel Terry) and Arthur's most loyal knight, Lancelot (Nicholas Clay). From the word go, one knight's erection is a million peasants' misery.
First, Uther gets the hots for the Duke's wife, Igrayne (Katrine Boorman), and has Merlin (Nicol Williamson) cast a spell that has dire consequences for Uther and his kingdom. Then, the second Arthur becomes king and hops into the tight-fitting armor, the little head leads the big head right to Guenevere (Cerie Lunghi). Then Lancelot, the knight in the shiniest, tightest armor of all, shows up and realizes he too is in love with Guenevere, which results in a pain in his heart and loins that could bring Arthur's entire kingdom to ruin. Fortunately, every time Lancelot's unit begins banging on the inside of his crotch guard he makes an excuse to run out in the forest and get naked amongst the trees, presumably to buff his sword, so to speak.
Naturally, when members of the aristocracy want to get their rocks off, it's the peasants who really get screwed. As Arthur forgets he's one with the land, director John Boorman forgets about being one with the story. The movie begins to drag as Arthur wastes away while his knights search for the Holy Grail and his evil sister, Morgana (Helen Mirren), plots to take over the kingdom. It would seem that somewhere along the way Boorman became a little self-absorbed and forgot that he had a story editor on the payroll. As a result, Boorman does an excellent job making us feel like peasants, for while he's getting his rocks off, we're getting screwed.

Common Sense
Deaglán de Bréadún
"I met with John Curran and asked him to write to all Government Ministers to ascertain what foreign trips were taking place this session. I told him that anything to do with a trade mission will be looked at on an individual basis and if they are important enough, a pair will be granted."
The above is a quote from Fine Gael Chief Whip Paul Kehoe in a piece by Harry McGee for today's Irish Times print edition (John Curran is the Government Chief Whip.) Kehoe's approach is just sound common sense, so often strangely lacking in politics these days.

Summary: The Hopkins Memorial Forest straddles three states and offers spectacular views of the Taconic Range, Berkshires, and the nearby Green Mountains. The trail begins high on the ridge separating New York and Massachusetts and winds through serene forests of maple, birch, beech and cherry. Open meadows provide ideal break areas and views into the rich farmland of the Taconic valley to the west, and Vermont's Green Mountains to the east.
Minimal elevation gain, clear trails, and uncrowded conditions make this ideal for the whole family. As an out-and-back hike, you can turn around whenever the youngest one tires and still enjoy beautiful views. Snowshoeing in the winter is popular and experienced cross country skiers enjoy this trail as well.
You may want to couple this hike with a visit to one of the following: Grafton Lakes State Park (NY), Mt. Greylock State Park (MA), MassMoca Art Museum (North Adams, MA), or the Peace Pagoda (Grafton, MA).
Trailhead: The trailhead is located at the parking area on Route 2 at the New York / Massachusetts border (Petersburgh Pass). To reach the trail, you'll need to cross Rte 2 and climb steeply through the forest for several hundred yards. (Lat:42.72311 Lon:-73.27707)

Agree with everything everyone said, however if you go when the leaves are down (after November or before May), you have amazing views for the whole trip.
Reviewed by Lee on 6/8/2010
Someone really needs to specify what the turnaround point is for the "5.5 mile" hike, because this trail keeps going quite a long way if you take it to the end. Does the 5.5 miles describe a round trip to the spur which descends the mountain to connect with the Hopkins Forest figure 8 loops? To the Snow Hole? Something else. People should know that if you star north from the Rooute 2 trailhead, and don't simply decide to turn around, you end up at the northern end of the Taconic Crest Trail, on Route 346 right at the Ny, VT border (which I believe is 7 to 9 miles from Route 2). It's a nice hike, but go for the hike, not the views. As Sully noted below, the views are minimal after the initial climb away from Route 2.
Reviewed by DLM on 6/29/2009
We did this hike on 6/29/09 with our two kids (Ages 9 & 10). The trail is VERY well marked. Pick up a trail map, watch the contours carefully for the SNOW HOLE SIGN. It is on the RED trail - which does loop back to the main Tacanic Crest trail from both ends. While a bit muddy in spots - it was GREAT! There was a bit of snow left in the snow hole which was a thrill for the kids. On the bright side - even with lot of mud - much of it was bridged by 2/6's and totally passable! Enjoy - - -have fun and be safe!
Reviewed by EDM on 3/24/2008
Snowy the whole way along the ridge, but very pleasant. It was a sunny day, but the snow was firm enough that we weren't making post-holes. The trail had been walked enough that hiking boots were sufficient. No bogs... A good day.
Reviewed by Jim 4 on 6/24/2007
Did the hike yesterday with Betty,Nina, Brad and 22 other people. It was a fun day. Weather was a little and and windy. Took some nice pictures. There was snow in the hole. A stragler missed the sign. Follow blue trail to red trail. You should be ok.
Reviewed by Adam on 6/3/2007
Very well maintained trail, minimal elevation gains between the initial climb and the snow hole. The summary provided here is confusing however; we thought "5.5 miles round trip" meant the blue trail. By the time we realized our folly, we were a good five or six miles out -- and the elevation changes increase sharply after the trail splits off for the snow hole. A nice afternoon five mile trek turned into an 11 mile nightmare; one member of our party had to be hospitalized. I would still definitely recommend the trail, but check out the snow hole instead of staying on the blue trail. That hike, round trip, is probably an ideal afternoon run for the casual hiker.
Reviewed by Paul on 10/9/2006
One more thing: Our trek from Route 2 to the Snow Hole, with about 20 mins for lunch and about 15 mins to check out the Snow Hole, took much longer than the 3 hours indicated above. Allow at least 4 hours unless you plan to keep up a very brisk pace.
Reviewed by Paul on 10/9/2006
Great views with minimal climbing. There were no maps available at the trail head, but it would be hard to get lost. Follow the blue and white trail markers for the Taconic Crest Trail. Eventually you will leave the Hopkins MF and enter land owned by the NYS DEC. Not long after that you will reach a well-marked turn off for Snow Hole, actually a short loop marked with red trail markers that will lead you back to the trail you came up on.

I don't know about the availability of an ankle holster for a gun like that which has been out of production for a number if years. You're best bet would be some generic medium frame size semi-auto holster. That or else find someone who can make you a Kydex holster molded from your gun.

I just had an epiphany...I wear shorts 11 months of the year,
how the heck am I gonna hide an ankle holster?? LOL :banghead:
Fiddled around in a few sporting goods stores today...
almost any 3.5" barrel small/medium leather or fabric holster will fit...
I've just got to figure out where I'm going to conceal it...
obviously can't use the same position as the CS45, (Thunderwear)
so this may require some thought...
perhaps a cargo-pocket holster...as my shorts usually have those...

Really... I can't think of too many handguns less suited for personal defense than an Erma Luger.
.32acp was used quite widely in the old days...it works nicely on a wide variety of predators...
while I am a subscriber to the Bigger Is Better caliber rule & my EDC is a S&W CS45,
I'm also quite aware that a second pistol is occasionally very useful,
or, as sometimes occurs, you don't want to use a large caliber in a particular situation...
and frankly, I don't want to waste a .45acp round on a dog/possum/armadillo/snake/etc...
July 20, 2014, 11:33 PM
I make sure it would run a few 100 rounds with out a problem . I remember when new they weren't all that reliable

He means the gun, not the chambering; the Erma's have quite the reputation, so I hear (not that your particular example is a jam-master-Jay, but most seem to be). Cool guns for sure, though (I got to mess with a 380 model, recently, and we fairly impressed considering its somewhat humble origins)

Yes, I got that, the Erma wasn't considered to be topping anyone's Defensive Carry list...
but, I think it'd be a nice item to have along to fill in the gap vs possum/other critters
that I'd hate to waste a .45acp on...given the price of .45 these days...
If you don't carry it around, you can't use it when opportunity presents itself.
And while I'll hopefully never have to use my .45 defensively, it rides in Primary carry mode,
and chances are fairly high I'll pop another critter with it when the need arises...
but I'd rather use something a little less expensive to reload ;)
The Erma isn't taking the place of my EDC, just supplementing...BUG-style...
also much easier to carry around in a pocket than a critter rifle...
hence the need for a decent pocket holster...
given its reliability thusfar at the range, I'd give it the same trust as a Walther PPK.
Chances are it'll hiccup sooner or later, much as the PPK was wont to ;)
Surely SOMEONE has had an Erma .32, and used it in some sort of holster??

Filiberto Huaracha, tells WSB-TV the saw of a stone grinder ripped through his arm, nearly slicing it in two.
Huaracha says he began running, spotted a sign for a doctor's office about 500 yards away, and made it to the front walk of Dr. Keith Jeffords.
Jeffords said his staff and even his patients helped in the rescue effort.
Huaracha said Tuesday that surgeons at Grady Memorial Hospital were able to save his arm. He believes he probably would have died had it not been for Jeffords and others who helped.

Dworkin v. The Philosophers: A Review Essay on Justice in Robes
Michael Steven Green
William & Mary Law School
University of Illinois Law Review, Vol. 5, 2007
In this review essay, I argue that Dworkin's reputation among his fellow philosophers has needlessly suffered because of his refusal to back down from his "semantic sting" argument against H. L. A. Hart. Philosophers of law have uniformly rejected the semantic sting argument as a fallacy. Nevertheless Dworkin reaffirms the argument in "Justice in Robes," his most recent collection of essays, and devotes much of the book to stubbornly, and unsuccessfully, defending it. This is a pity, because the failure of the semantic sting argument in no way undermines Dworkin's other arguments against Hart.

IDAHO FALLS, Idaho - A traffic accident led to the arrests of two people Sunday night on theft-related charges.
Idaho Falls police were called to the 1400 block of Milligan Road for the accident Sunday night. The driver of the GMC Yukon, identified as Alana R. Litchie, 33, spun out and crashed into a pile of construction material, a witness said.
Litchie and her passenger, Vincent Compton-Dinapoli, 20, left on foot, said police. Officers found both by the river between Pancheri and Broadway.
Police determined the Yukon had been stolen. They also found a stolen air compressor inside. The air compressor was taken from another vehicle parked near Buffalo Wild Wings.
Both were arrested on charges of vehicle burglary and possession of a stolen vehicle.
Litchie was also arrested on charges of driving under the influence, driving without privileges and leaving the scene of an accident.
Compton-Dinapoli was also arrested on a charge of underage consumption of alcohol.
They were booked into the Bonneville County Jail.

BOMBAY (Reuters) - Boeing Co. has signed up Indian software services firm HCL Technologies Ltd. to develop software for its new 787 Dreamliner, the U.S. commercial jet maker said on Tuesday.
HCL Technologies will develop a hosting platform for the flight test computing system and provide software services to many of the 787 systems partners, according to a statement.
In a notice to the Bombay Stock Exchange, HCL said this was a multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement.
Prior to the statement, HCL shares ended 0.6 percent higher at 342 rupees in a slightly firm Bombay market.
"India's aerospace industry continues to make great strides -- not only in technology services, but also in the development of aerospace and satellite capabilities," Boeing Senior Vice President Thomas Pickering said in a statement.
Chicago-based Boeing has also signed a strategic deal with the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore for research in aerospace materials, structures and manufacturing technologies.
Boeing has existing deals with Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. and India's top software services exporter, Tata Consultancy Services Ltd., as well as Wipro Ltd., the No. 3 exporter.
Boeing is looking to tap India's potential as low-cost airlines multiply and private airlines expand following recent regulatory approval for more international flights.
Airbus recently underbid Boeing in an estimated $2.1 billion deal to sell 43 A320 aircraft to state-owned Indian Airlines. Earlier on Tuesday, an Airbus spokesman said Indian private airline expansion offered big potential for sales.

Defense challenges search warrants in cyanide case
PITTSBURGH -- Attorneys for a University of Pittsburgh medical researcher accused of killing his neurologist wife with cyanide are challenging search warrants and subpoenas that prosecutors used to gather computer evidence in the case.
The defendant, Dr. Robert Ferrante, 65, is accused of lacing an energy drink with cyanide before giving it to his wife, Dr. Autumn Klein, 41, in April 2013. She died three days later. Ferrante denies the charges.
The prosecutors' case relies heavily on computer records that they claim show Ferrante bought the poison using a Pitt laboratory credit card, even though cyanide wasn't related to his research. Prosecutors have also said Ferrante did computer searches five days after his wife died to learn whether treatments Klein received after falling ill would have removed poison from her system.
Defense attorney William Difenderfer argued Thursday that prosecutors wrongly used subpoenas to obtain some computer records from Google and other sources. Difenderfer contends investigators should have instead obtained search warrants, which require prosecutors to present reasons to a judge for why the records should be seized.
Difenderfer is also challenging search warrants used to seize information from Ferrante's Pitt computer, claiming that action violated Ferrante's privacy because he also sent personal e-mails from it.
Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey A. Manning will take several weeks before ruling whether the evidence can still be used at trial.

Analytics, all the rage all over the NBA, use data on player movement, even player speed on the court, plus efficiencies based on all sorts of variables, such as shooting percentages off dribbles, from certain spots on the floor, from passes by specific players.
76ers coach Doug Collins was asked the other day if he was an analytics guy.
"No. If I did that, I'd blow my brains out," Collins said after a practice last week. "There's 20-page printouts after every game - I would kill myself."
"My analytics are here . . ." Collins quickly pointed to his head. ". . . and here." He pointed just above the white waistband of his Sixers sweat suit - to his gut.

Become a Better Editor of Your Own Work
Lesson 4
Strategy #4: Use the FIND and REPLACE commands in your word-processing program.
I am very fond of FIND and REPLACE. Ill show you how to use these commands to find words and phrases best left out of your manuscript, but you can use it to find lots of other mistakes.
Problem #4: -ly adverbs, he/she/they knew, to herself/himself/themselves, and emotion words like sadness or anger in your story.
Finding these mistakes will be easy, but the corrections might not be so easy.
Lets start with the easy ones first. He/she/they knew and to herself/himself/themselves are easy to find using FIND command. Usually you can leave these words out without any more correction.
Example: She knew he would not like her flashy red bonnet. If you are in her pov, then you dont need she knew.
Correct: He would not like her flashy red bonnet.
We can leave out to herself/himself/themselves without any more correction.
Example: She shouldnt have been so haughty with James, she thought to herself.
Unless she can transmit her thoughts to other people, the only person she is thinking to is herself. Delete every to herself, etc., you find in your writing. You may also be able to omit she thought.
Easy to find and not too hard to correct: -ly adverbs.
The FIND command will find every ly word in your document. Your job is to delete the adverb and change the weak verb to a strong one.
Example: Sleep well, little one, Martha said quietly.
Do you know a word that means to speak quietly? Of course you do whisper.
Correct: Sleep well, little one, Martha whispered.
I have posted a list of verbs on a separate page to help you make these corrections.
Now for the hard one showing emotion, not telling. When you write, Mary was heartbroken over the death of her favorite canary, you are telling the reader, not showing her.
Best way to figure out if you are telling and not showing: Does a reader want to wrap Mary in a hug and comfort her in her time of overwhelming sadness?
If the reader doesnt feel Marys heartbreak, you are telling.
Heartbreak is an abstract idea, as are all emotions. To show any emotion, you must show the character in the midst of that emotion.
Right now, at this moment in the story, what is Mary doing and feeling inside her? What words does she use to express herself? (Im not suggesting you have her say, Im brokenhearted.)
Think about a time when you lost someone close to you, maybe a grandparent or parent. You are at the wake and you see a dear friend you havent seen in years. Do you say to that person, I am so sad Granny died?
Ill bet you dont. You might rush to that dear friend, put your arms around her, and cry.
Your body is also reacting to seeing that friend. Relief what does relief feel like? Joy what does joy feel like?
To show what Mary is feeling, you have to be in Marys pov. Thats the only way the reader will know that the tension in her shoulders relaxed as she threw her arms around her dear friend Megan.
I have recently found the absolute most incredible source to help you show emotions convincingly. Heres the link: http://thebookshelfmuse.blogspot.com/. On this site, Angela Ackerman and Becca Puglisi have created thesauri of emotions; character traits; setting; weather; colors, textures, and shapes; and symbolism. When you visit, say thank you and MM sent me.
There is a wealth of information here for a writer. Am I suggesting that you copy their info and paste into your story? NO!!!!
Im suggesting you buy their book. I have the e-book on writing emotions, and it is the best investment I have made in helping me write. Check it out at the link above or on Amazon or Barnes and Noble.
Now you try it.
Using the FIND command, search a chapter of your book for -ly adverbs, he/she/they knew, to herself/himself/ themselves, and emotion words like sadness or anger in your story. Post 10 examples of these errors total, not 10 of each, and your revised sentences for these examples. If you are stumped on how to revise a sentence, post that sentence, too.
Note for yourself the number of times FIND finds the errors in your manuscript. Youll know what you need to watch for as you continue to revise your work.
Any questions?
Happy searching!

My Vintage Agfa Thermometer4 10
There was an amazing old lab near my neighborhood. I often passed by and checked the nice portraits that were all over the window shop. The man that ran it must have been taking pictures for years, there were really old portraits there.
But the portraits that I loved the most were from the immigrants. You could see Africans and Indians with their best ethnic costumes – I found those portraits absolut gems.
A few weeks ago, I got a huge surprise – the window shop was empty and I could see that inside, so was the shop. Well, not completely empty. Standing on a corner there was a big, vintage, orange thermometer from Agfa, looking like it was waiting for me to get it.
So, the man died and since no one wants to run a photo lab these days (?!), the place is for rent. I was lucky enough to find the guys that were emptying it. Well, you know young guys – you just have to smile. :)
While one of them was still saying "Oh, they made an inventory…", the younger one was saying "Take it! It's a present, from me to you!", so I grabbed it and went quickly home before someone that knew it has some value appeared.
It looks gorgeous on my veranda. :)
