CG Cookie is great. It is packed with friendly, knowledgeable, creative artists that want us all to thrive in a positive environment. And so many disciplines are represented. It's all top shelf.
My problem as a beginner artist and developer was not a lack of creativity, but a lack of understanding the workflow of what it took to make things happen. The intensive course on modeling and important game assets took me from conceptual art all the way to the final steps. CGCookie is the hidden gem for all aspiring or developing artists. The CGCookie team knows their stuff.
Nate Melo
When trying to find a place to first start Blender most sites are far from being friendly in the beginning. CG Cookie is considered to be the first place to start learning and rightfully so.
[Jonathan] picks up the Basics incredibly and explains each step with thorough explanation of function and short key, I ended making a very basic portfolio in the first month of citizenship.
CG Cookie has been helpful in getting me on the right track to my dream. I've always wanted lo learn game development.
CG Cookie is helping me learn everything I can to get a jumpstart on my dream. I've learned the basics of digital art from just a few tutorials. And soon plan to move on towards learning Blender.
Each tutorial feels like a private 1-on-1 with the artist in the video.
Exercises allow great practice and helpful feedback on how to improve.
CG Cookie is a great place to start learning or even to expand your knowledge!
As a hobby 3D artist, CG Cookie has really lowered the learning curve for me. The videos are high quality and the instructors do a great job explaining tools instead of making assumptions or glazing over things. The exercises are a great way to hone your Blender chops!
Ryan Sweeney
Best site for Blender. The community is incredible.
And the exercises great the greatest feedback.
All essential to improving my skills.

Welcome back from the extended Memorial Day weekend. The GreenLight Madness tournament continues today, the day of the Game 1 of the NBA Finals. While it completely makes Celtics fans feel like they're missing out this year, we'll keep this tournament going long after the real Finals have been completed.
Many times we've seen KG beat himself by smashing his head against the stanchion, whacking the ball across his head, or pound his chest to get himself fired up. Last rounds voting was no different (ok slightly different) as KG defeated himself. His defense in Game 2 against the New York Knicks destroyed his fast break two-handed slam against his old team in Minnesota.
The #5 seeded play was a personal favorite of mine, even though it lacked a lot of what you'd normally find in a top play. After getting taken down by Dwyane Wade and having his arm removed from normal musculoskeletal structure, Rajon Rondo returned and led the Celtics to their only victory against the Heat. This play he steals the ball with his injured arm, then sort of slams it home. Again, given the circumstances it was an inspiring and amazing play. Unfortunately it was also a huge factor in the C's downfall.
The #60 seed also involves Rondo, this time tossing up an alley-oop to KG out in LA against the Clippers. It was a weird time for the C's as they were playing their first game since trading Perk, and LA had a solid lead on them. The C's made a nice comeback to defeat the Clippers and this was the best play from that game.

Seed #60: Rondo to KG Alley-Oop Clips LA

I use a bigger mpc and a trombone which I believe has helped me with my trumpet endurance. Of course perhaps the trombone has made me cognizant of efficiently using air for any instrument and to not over power the horn to get sound out of it. As far as embouchures, it is my opinion that proper practice on any instrument or mpc will allow transition between mpcs or different instruments without any difficulties

I'm not responsible for offending people -- people are responsible for themselves taking offense at me
One other thing not mentioned, to consider, is that the cup shape and depth can have a marked effect on articulation. So make sure you try the different pieces with that in mind.
I recently experimented with 2 widely different mouthpieces (well, there were others that led up to it, but that narrowed it down). One is a Warburton shallow V-cup, tight back bore, other is a big 1D Megatone. Short answer is, I like the brighter tone and easier upper register of the warburton. The tone is a little thinner, and pedals & notes below middle C are harder. I can play the Megatone almost as well in the upper register, but it tires me out, sounds darker. It's easy to do pedal tones, though.
For the playing I do- jazz, rock/r&B, the Warburton is the best choice. My point is, choose your gear and practice for how you're going to play- not for the sake of exercise.
To answer the question in the title of this thread, yes. As long as the easy option does what you want it to do, why not? That's the name of the game, to have equipment that you don't have to fight to play like you want. The easier your trumpet and mouthpiece are to play, the more you can concentrate on musicality in your playing.

May the Trumpet Gods smile upon us all
Okay, I'm going to throw what the Americans call a 'curve ball' into this.
The 'easy' path was denied to me as child. I'm convinced I became a good trumpet player (not phenomenal, but good) thanks to the combination of determination, a good ear, and a lousy trumpet. The latter forced me to develop a strong foundation of flexible lip and air support in order to develop an intonation and sound that I was happy with. I do not believe I would have made anything like the progress I achieved then if I'd had available to me the quality of instrument I can now afford. I would have met and exceeded people's expectations too easily and lost a lot of the incentive to push myself to better things.
There's a pretty strong concensus here that 'easy' practice exercises are of lttle value in extending one's technique. But doesn't the same argument apply to hardware set-up?
A number of the posts above strike me as being good sense IF you've already reached your musical destination. Yes, obviously, then you play conservative and stick with a set-up which gives you minimum technical difficulty and maximum scope for musical expression. Especially if the pay cheque depends on it.
But this thread wasn't about that. It was about the journey to reach that destination. Do you try and do it by slow, incremental change, or do you just jump onto that Suzuki 650 turbo, open the throttle and see what happens?

If you don't know how to handle that 650, you might wrap it around the tree. I believe incremental improvement is best.

Forgot to add, I didn't learn on inferior equipment. I didn't truly appreciate what I had until I bought and was given several student horns.

If by slow, incremental change you mean going from a 3 to a 2 to a 1 and if 1 is the destination I'd skip the 2. Even going from a 7 to a 1 I'd do the same. My teacher put me through a blindfold test. We first can confuse our lips by playing a bunch of mouthpieces in short order and then (still blindfolded), start choosing which one sounds the best. For me that was a 1C--it was both the one easiest to play and the best sounding.
An esoteric exercise I got from the late, great John Glasel can help the process. Play a long tone, and while doing so reduce pressure; it will start to sound "bad." With this same pressure, do whatever it takes with the chops to make it sound "better" (not perfect or normal). In a short time you should notice some muscles being worked (a big ring or circle around the mouth.)
This will allow us to train some muscles that don't normally get worked; when somewhat in shape it should require somewhat less pressure to play.

should i get another wii? i am so indecisive with purchases, it's not even funny.

When the online arrives, you shall all know me. And my crappy mspaint creations.
WTF didnt you test it first? Never buy anything used without testing it. You should buy a Wii only if you like Wii Sports and Zelda. There is really no other reason to own one right now. Every single game that has come out is utter crap. Go get a brand new 360.Originally Posted by wiiness
yeah i learned my lesson the hard way - to test products before buying them, especially on craigslist. not that i'll be using that service again anyways.
is wario ware any good? other peoples input?
what do you guys think though?
Wario is ok for a game that comes in a gay pink case. Its not a game that is fun alone though. Nothing on the wii is really fun alone.Originally Posted by wiiness
I wouldnt stop using craigslist because of one bad deal. I sell and buy on craigslist all the time. You just need to be a little less trusting lol.
this is true. getting ripped off $250 really hurt, it happened like 3 weeks ago...
still have no clue whether i should buy a wii or not.
O.K., then lets ask what would you do with it if you did buy a wii?
When the online arrives, you shall all know me. And my crappy mspaint creations.
I would get a new 360. Chance are you will just sell your wii again unless you feel you didn't give it a fair chance

Using Roundup delays the process by seven days (it takes that long for the Roundup to complete the killing of the vegetation) before you can plow your garden plot. In my mind, the seven day lead time is of more value than the marginal benefit of the vegetation kill.

The background
ArtPrize in Grand Rapids was featured in a segment on NBC's "Today" show Oct. 7, with short interviews with ArtPrize founder Rick DeVos, Meijer Gardens curator Joe Becherer, the Grand Rapids Public Museum's Rebecca Westphal, and the many artists and fans. The event finished Oct. 10.
The questions
Did you visit ArtPrize this year? With ArtPrize gaining such far-reaching publicity and notoriety, do you think it will help the Grand Rapids and Southwest Michigan economies, potentially bringing in new visitors and interests?
The responses
Student, Kalamazoo
"I don't think it will bring in more businesses. A lot of people are staying closer to home and getting more involved in the arts in their local communities."
Unemployed artist, Kalamazoo
"I wanted to go, but I didn't have a chance because of the economy. Hopefully, it can stimulate something in some way, where local artists can have a chance to open up shops and bring more wealthy people here. With it being featured on NBC, I think it was a good thing, because people say, 'We got Grand Rapids,' and then they start looking around at surrounding areas, like Kalamazoo. I think it will help growth."
Homemaker, Delton
"I think it will help. My daughter went to see it and said it was wonderful. A lot of walking, but she really enjoyed it. She called it beautiful. It brings a lot more people in. A lot of people looking at it will go into the restaurants. A lot of it is in areas with some quaint shops, and people will do some shopping."

So far this week on AL.com, reporters posted eight stories that included the phrase "war on whites" in the headline and two other posts included the words "race" or "racism."
The phrase uttered repeatedly this week by U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Huntsville, has brought him national attention. Unfortunately for Brooks, based upon the opinion piece he wrote this week, his effort intended to bring attention to an issue and not himself.
Brooks even conceded Wednesday that "the hyperbole worked far beyond my wildest expectations."
The question for today is if you peel back the hyperbole and drill down beyond the headlines, does Brooks have a point?
When I first interviewed Brooks on Monday afternoon about his "war on whites" comment on a national radio show Monday morning, I asked him more than once if he feared that particular language would take away from his message. It wasn't difficult at all to see where this freight train Brooks unleashed was heading.
As AL.com reporter Challen Stephens pointed out in this post, Brooks has a history of carefully choosing his words and "war on whites" was no slip of the tongue.
Brooks had no trouble pointing out examples of Democrats invoking race into conversations.
But did Brooks just give voice to an issue others see but have remained silent about or did he just cherry-pick quotes to make his case without proper context?
So what do you think? Brooks said Wednesday, "in the Tennessee Valley, the support for what I've been doing is overwhelming."
Is there any merit to his "war on whites" rhetoric? Or does the phrase "war on whites" overwhelm whatever point Brooks might be trying to make?
Vote in our poll and join the conversation in the comments. I'm going to hang out for a live chat until about 10:30 a.m. so please join in.

Holiday Lights at the Beach
Virginia Beach Boardwalk
The Holiday Lights at the Beach display is quite an unusual treat. There are more huge lighting displays than you can imagine, and you get to drive on the boardwalk, which is very cool. The lights look great against the very dark backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean.
There are animated nautical and holiday-themed light displays along the boardwalk. Thirty blocks of festive fish, jumping dolphins, and frolicking porpoises, sailboats gently rocking in the wind, and mermaids! Add to this surfing Santas, giant gift-wrapped packages, and a three-story Christmas tree, and it's easy to see why over 100,000 visitors enjoy the Holiday Lights at the Beach each year.
Holiday Lights at the Beach is the largest grand illumination display on the Atlantic seaboard. Come drive on the Virginia Beach boardwalk and see the lights. There is an entrance fee for all vehicles. Military personnel receive a discount on Monday nights. New Pricing for 2015: $15 nightly admission. $7 for Military Monday.
Virginia Beach boardwalk, between 2nd and 34th Streets. The entrance is located at 2nd Street.

The NBA schedule definitely takes a toll on a professional basketball player, especially when said schedule possesses a grueling road trip. When fans look at the itineraries once the NBA releases them, they immediately look for the most entertaining matchups.
On the other hand, players and coaches, besides looking for the most anticipated games, search for any major leaves of absences, as they will have to disconnect with their families, friends and community for extensive periods of time
This year's schedule is full of long, strenuous road trips for every team that will create numerous storylines throughout the season. However, some organizations have it worse than others, but nobody is complaining. That is just the NBA lifestyle.

In part one of pieces of a website series we discussed the need to purchase a domain name and then pointing this domain to the machine that is 'hosting' your website.
How exactly do you point to a machine?
IP Address.
The way Domain Name Server (DNS) works is something like this.
1) You as the owner of the domain name have to say which "Name Server" has the correct match of your domain name to a specific ip address.
For example you purchased a domain name - thisismydomain.com

Well, first thing that comes to mind is there is the need to get a 'domain name" - like jazzymarketing.com or jazzymarketing.net .... now we can have domains by country, biz, .name etc as options...but I think for the most part it is best to stick with .com because of the high expectation among the general population for a domain name to end with .com

Geoff Hammond, the former head of the Southern Baptist Convention's mission agency, issued his first response since his dramatic resignation last week.
In an e-mail sent to the Southern Baptist TEXAN, a news journal of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention, Hammond was mainly positive towards his experience at the North American Mission Board, and believed that God had led him to the agency.
"The events as they unfolded last Tuesday [Aug. 11] were a shock to me," wrote Hammond, according to the Baptist Press. "Although I am not at liberty to discuss the details, needless to say my resignation was not for moral, ethical or fiduciary responsibility but there were methodological differences."
He added, "I still feel God led me to the North American Mission Board for a purpose – to help Southern Baptists see North America as a mission field and to live with urgency reaching this continent for Christ."
Last week, Hammond and three of his closest associates at the NAMB resigned from their position after the agency's Board of Trustees met for seven hours.
NAMB trustee chairman Tim Patterson said the details of the meeting and the exact reasons why Hammond resigned will remain confidential.
Follow us Get CP eNewsletter ››
But an e-mail, circulated before the fateful meeting, suggested that some on the executive committee were upset with how Hammond was running the massive agency, which oversees over 5,600 missionaries. Some critics complained that he hired friends for leadership positions even though they were not the most qualified people.
Despite the controversy that has surrounded his resignation, Hammond appears to not regret having accepted the offer to lead the agency.
"One of the greatest joys of my life was to lead NAMB as we created, developed and introduced the national evangelism initiative to Southern Baptists, GPS – God's Plan for Sharing," he wrote.
The ambitious goal of GPS is to share the Gospel to every person in North America by the year 2020.
"[D]espite what occurred, I am still grateful to have had an opportunity to influence Southern Baptists to reach North America for Christ and to help them understand that it will take missionary thinking and practices to achieve that goal," Hammond expressed. "I praise the Lord that Southern Baptists are still so mission minded and we are still planting a new church in North America every six hours."
NAMB has named longtime staff Richard Harris as acting interim president while the agency searches for an interim president.

Johnny Manziel loses starting job to Brian Hoyer
After what could reasonably be deemed the worst quarterback competition in recent NFL memory, Brian Hoyer has been named the Cleveland Browns' starter.
That leaves Johnny Manziel on the bench to begin his NFL career, a place that is probably best for him in the long term and will be temporary unless Hoyer improves dramatically in the regular-season opener against Pittsburgh.

Scott E. Allen was at a tough place in his life when he found the guys at the G.I. Go Fund.
The Marine Staff Sgt. was unable to get a job and about to be kicked out of the abandoned house in Sun City, Calif. that his family was occupying. A 13-year career left Allen, 39, with a ruptured Achilles heel and two discs in his lower back that still give him nerve pain.
• Nearly 800 veterans attend Fort Dix job fair
In June, disheartened and almost penniless, Allen signed on to Twitter in search for help. Newark Mayor Cory Booker, an avid Twitter user, responded and sent Allen's information to the non-profit G.I. Go Fund, located in the basement of Newark City Hall.
Within days, founder and executive director, Jack Fanous, 29, of East Brunswick, connected Allen by phone with a VA administrator in Washington who was able to get his case out of the backlog of claims.
Since 2006, the guys at the G.I. Go Fund have fought to get veterans the services they need, providing everything from groceries to guidance, all in the name of their close friend who died in Iraq.
"I went from nothing happening at all to having everything happen really fast," said Allen.
Soon after the intervention of the G.I. Go Fund, he received a phone call from the VA in California to schedule an appointment to advance his case.
"What's weird about it is that I have no bond with them at all," said Allen. "What motivates them to be so passionate like that?"
A lot of veteran support
There are numerous support groups around the country where veterans help other veterans, but the G.I. Go Fund is unique in that their members did not serve in the military.
Fanous, 29, and his brother James, 23, of East Brunswick, and co-founders, Nick, 28 and Alex Manis, 26, of South Brunswick, a civilian band of brothers, can often be found at veterans outreach events throughout the state dressed in a uniform of dark suits.
Their motivation to help veterans is inspired by the memory of their friend Lt. Seth Dvorin, of South Brunswick, who died in early 2004 in Iraq when trying to dismantle a roadside bomb.
Jack Fanous, Nick Manis and Dvorin all went to South Brunswick High School together. Fanous and Dvorin played Thanksgiving football games in the field near their home and the Goldeneye video game in Dvorin's basement. They were in on inside jokes together and teased each other relentlessly, from elementary school and through their studies at Rutgers University. Dvorin enlisted in the military after college. Fanous didn't.
"Wherever we go we take Seth's memory with us," said Fanous, "and that's why we do it."
The four guys came together over emails, phone calls and dinners in the months after Dvorin's death and discussed how best to honor his memory.
Now the members of the G.I. Go Fund work out of donated office space in the basement of the Newark City Hall.
"I am unaware of any organization that consistently works for veterans like they do," said Gary Englert, director of veterans services for the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs.
DMAVA has reimbursed the G.I. Go Fund for thousands of dollars in the last couple years as part of the Yellow Ribbon Grant. The grant provides up to $5,000 in emergency financial support for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan from the State of New Jersey. Money is used for everything from paying rent and mortgages, to diapers and car repairs.
Recently, the G.I. Go Fund organized a job fair attended by 4,000 veterans in Atlantic City, and have plans for another. They are also working on a guide to translate military occupational specialties to civilian job responsibilities, and are exploring how to better use social media like Twitter, Facebook and online chat programs to help veterans.
"These guys have essentially missed a year of their lives," said Fanous, "we are just trying to help them get it back."
Veterans walk in off of the street after meeting with their councilmembers or after being recommended by congressional representatives or counselors.
Steven Rivera, 30, of Newark, was recommended by his social worker at the East Orange hospital. She suggested he go to the office to get help with a resume.
Alex Manis was seated at a computer under a large framed replica of the Constitution.
The graduate of Rutgers Business School coaxed Rivera to expand upon his duties while working as a sous-chef and baker aboard an amphibious assault ship during his nearly ten years in the Navy.
"Keep going, there's more," said Manis as Rivera listed his myriad responsibilities, which included serving up to 12,000 meals a day, "This is the military."
"I highly doubt a civilian would have served 12,000 meals in a year," said Manis. "This is what we are trying to tap into right now."
If the VA were a father-figure, said Rivera, the G.I. Go Fund and the staff, "would be kind of like an older brother."
Five veterans walked into the office and three phoned that day, some seeking job help, another to pick up a an emergency grocery card, and another for advice on how to take advantage of the new educational bill for veterans.
"Whenever I help any veteran, any soldier that comes in here, I treat them as if I'm helping Seth, or at least I try to," said Fanous. "Because if he asked me anything I wouldn't say no."
Allen is still in a tough situation, but he said is heartened by the support from the people on the other side of the country.
"I can't even tell you how good it feels to know there are people out there who have your freaking back," said Allen. "I wasn't getting anywhere with doing this on my own."

It's possible, and apparently very painful, to break a penis.
We had this patient who suffered penile fracture after running across the room and trying to penetrate his wife with a flying leap.
Breaking a penis can be used as a defense against rape.
Views: 575
Just try not to get an erection
- around heavy machinery
- around a very unwilling woman
- when swimming in piranha-infested waters
- near falling trees.
And if you do get an erection and you're near a dog, don't cover it with peanut butter or anything the dog might find appetizing.
Feel better?
OMG I will now have nightmares for days......Thanks Future!!!!!!
proof there is no God.
Not at all.....It means stay away from the Candiru' at all cost.....
Why do I have a fragile penis and why is it bent slghtly to the left? Oh, ahh, maybe I shouldn't have revealed that.
Aren't they all?
mine isn't......:)
A slight bend means nothing. A significant curve, especially with pain, or dysfunction - that's different.
It's common for the penis to curve slightly to the left or right when it's erect.
Thanks Ruth. I was worried for a while and thought I was Captain Hook.

Halloween, a night of candy, costumes and scares is almost upon us. Residential trick or treat night is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Halloween night in Webster City. But, trick or treaters have several other activities and opportunities for candy as the holiday nears.
Fuller Hall is hosting a preschool Halloween party in the gymnasium from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday. In addition to candy, Fuller Hall offers stations staffed by employees with games to play with preschoolers. That same day, Fuller Hall will host a middle school activity night from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. There will be a dance and a live DJ with food and drink available. Recreation and Public Grounds Director Kent Harfst said the events are always a good time.
"We've been holding these events for years and it's fun to see kids of all ages dressed up for Halloween," Harfst said. "It's a good place for parents to bring their kids in the morning and the middle school dance is fun event."

Residential trick or treat night is scheduled from 6 to 8 p.m. on Halloween night in Webster City.
On Halloween, Oct. 31, there will be a downtown merchant trick or treat from 4 to 6 p.m., sponsored by the Webster City Chamber of Commerce. The chamber estimates that 200 to 300 kids go around to the downtown businesses every year for trick or treating. Participating businesses will have an orange pumpkin sign outside.
Southfield Wellness Community is also hosting a trick or treat event on Halloween from 4 to 6 p.m. Southfield Marketing Coordinator Marilyn Middleton said both the apartments and care center will participate in giving out about $600 worth of candy. Southfield residents will dress up and give out candy in front of their rooms for over 300 people that attend annually. Middleton said the trick or treating, and a contest for best decorations, help residents get in the Halloween spirit.
"The residents feel like they're part of this. They can reminisce about trick or treating with their own children and get to meet a lot of passing trick or treaters," Middleton said.
Crestview Senior Living will also be greeting trick or treaters in front of their building on Halloween from 3:30 to 5 p.m. About 25 residents will sit outside to give out candy to trick or treaters.

Discrimination can be found here
You don't have to go to the deep south to find racism. It's right here on our sweet li'l Vashon Island.
Two weeks ago, I was out on the town with a group of three friends that included a middle-aged black man from Seattle. A little after 10 p.m., we were hungry, and the only place still serving food was Sporty's, and we went there. Within five minutes, a drunken silver haired patron of that bar approached our table and said, "Hey partner, didn't you see the sign?"
Of course there isn't an actual sign at Sporty's that says "whites only," but there might as well have been that night! Our friend — a first time visitor to the island — had the grace and restraint not to reply to the comment, and we all left shortly after that. Next time, if we are hungry late at night, we will buy some frozen burritos at Mom's Deli.

While I believe that I have a better shot of playing for the Celtics than Stephon Marbury, the NY Post continues to list Boston as a potential home for the NBA's craziest point guard.
Marbury, who could wind up in Miami, Boston, San Antonio or the Clippers, said he has no desire to work out a settlement.
"There wouldn't be no negotiation," Marbury said. "They're going to give me all my money. … If they want to waive me and give me all my money, fine. If not, I'll try to help this organization win the championship. They told me to come to camp in the best shape of my life and I did that. But I don't want to be in a place I'm not wanted."
You gotta love Marbury's negotiating skills. "They're going to give me all my money." How about taking half of the $21 milion owed this season, and get the hell out of New York? That team isn't going anywhere for years. Here's some advice: Take the buyout, sign a one-year deal for the veteran minimum on a contending team, re-shape your image and then hit the jackpot in free-agency. Wait…that makes too much sense for Stephon.

Red Wings forward Patrick Eaves has attempted to raise funds for and awareness about the Michigan Humane Society's Mega March for Animals on October 3rd, and as such, he brought his 130-lb. Newfoundland dog, Rueben, down to Joe Louis Arena on Tuesday to film a promotional commercial.
Eaves told the Macomb Daily's Chuck Pleiness that Rueben has a new friend in Eaves' one-month-old daughter, Norah:
September 7, Macomb Daily: "We weren't sure how that was going to go, but we have a really good trainer who kind of helped out, gave us some pointers," Eaves said. "When Norah was in the hospital I'd bring home her clothes until he got used to her smell.
"(We) just put her on the bed and put him on the bed and they had to figure it out themselves," Eaves continued. "It took a little bit, but then he gave her a big lick and smelled her over and now he's a big brother and best friend."
Eaves talked about Norah, too, as the Free Press's George Sipple, the Detroit News's Ted Kulfan MLive.com's own Ansar Khan noted:
September 8, Detroit Free Press: Rueben had a tough summer. He lost about 15 of his 130 pounds because of a bug, then lost his place as the center of attention in the household.
Eaves' wife, Katie, gave birth to their first child, Norah, on July 26.
"Almost a month early, but she's healthy as a horse," Eaves said of the baby. "She's six weeks old now, and Mom is healthy and doing well."
September 8, MLive.com: Eaves said his daughter was born a month early but "she's as healthy as a horse and eating. It's truly a magical experience. Mom is healthy and doing well. It's a good time to play hockey now.''
And here's what Eaves said about the Humane Society walk to the Windsor Star's Dave Waddell:
September 8, Windsor Star: "We're going to do something with the Humane Society here in town," said Eaves, who shot a public service announcement Tuesday for the Michigan Humane Society's fifth annual Mega March for Animals Oct. 3 in Hart Plaza.
"There's a big walk coming up. They asked Rueben and I to be a part of it and we jumped at the opportunity."

Living across the Slaveholding State of Kentucky, the young Harriet Beecher Stowe met both abolitionists and fugitive slaves, both whom informed her of the cruelty of life in bondage. By the time she left Ohio with her husband and five children, she was convinced that slavery had to be abolished immediately. She stated, "I will write something ¦ ¦.I will if I live (Douglas 8). Her goal was set, so she settled down in Brunswick, Maine and there composed Uncle Tom's Cabin. In this novel she hoped to demonstrate slavery's wrongs to the nation (Douglas 8). She also hoped to do her small share for the cause, but it proved to be much more. With the help of her sister, Catharine Esther Beecher, and other feminist women who edited Stowe's so called, "idiomatic jargon , the book was on its way to be a world-renowned novel. She wrote the most powerful antislavery novel ever and it perhaps made her the most influential woman of her time. Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin opened up America's eyes to the injustice of slavery and changed the course of women's history.
American women have played a large part in building our country. Harriet Beecher Stowe was the most prominent member of what was only the second generation of American woman novelists (Douglas 11). She was a maverick who shied away from all labels and associations (13). Even though she was never declared a feminist, in her substance she had a powerful feministic style. She proved this by using strong women characters in her story. This was rare in that time because most authors used men as their protagonist and the women played minor roles. In Uncle Tom's Cabin almost all of Stowe's characters are female. She purposefully made her female characters more round and dimensional than her male characters. Women act as their own in St

BATON ROUGE -- With a win Saturday, No. 1 LSU would be 13-0 for the first time in its history. If the Tigers win these head-to-head matchups, they'll likely still be undefeated when the BCS rankings are released Sunday.
Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray vs. LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson
No. NAME CLASS HT. WT.
9 Jordan Jefferson Sr. 6-5 224
This matchup could be the most decisive in the game when determining the winner.
In just his second season, Murray has already set the Georgia record for most career touchdown passes, and has been a huge factor during the Bulldogs' 10-game winning streak.
Murray's thrown for just under 3,000 yards this season, and sports an impressive 32:10 touchdown to interception ratio. But he'll face his biggest test to date against LSU's stifling defense.
Jefferson's rebounded in a big way after a bar brawl in Baton Rouge caused him to miss LSU's first four games.
Jefferson's only started two games this season after he took over for incumbent starter Jarrett Lee following LSU's 9-6 win against No. 2 Alabama.
A dual-threat quarterback, Jefferson's been getting it done with both his arm and legs, unleashing a 59-yard touchdown pass in his first start, and a 48-yard touchdown run in his second.
Jefferson had a better game statistically than the SEC's leading passer in LSU's last game against Arkansas' Tyler Wilson. He may need to do it again Saturday.
Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell vs. LSU safety Brandon Taylor
No. NAME CLASS HT. WT.
For Georgia to even have a shot in this game, Crowell needs to prove that a nagging ankle injury is not hindering him against an LSU defense that's giving up just 86.1 yards per game on the ground.
Crowell has had a penchant for shining the brightest when Georgia was playing SEC competition. Crowell's four 100-yard games came against South Carolina (118 yards), Ole Miss (147 yards), Mississippi State (104 yards) and Auburn (132 yards).
Those four games account for 501 of Crowell's 832 yards on the ground this season. With a stocky build and good speed, LSU's secondary must be its usual sure-tackling self if Crowell gets to the second level, particularly safety Brandon Taylor.
With LSU's hardest hitting safety, Eric Reid, still recovering from an injury that still makes him questionable for kickoff, Taylor will be the key to preventing Crowell from breaking a long run.
With 65 tackles to his credit, Taylor is LSU's second-leading tackler, and has been one of LSU's top open field tacklers this season.
Georgia safety Bacarri Rambo vs. LSU wide receiver Rueben Randle
No. NAME CLASS HT. WT.
With a 6-foot-4 frame and speed that makes him look like a bolt of lightning running downfield, Randle has terrorized opponents with the deep ball this season.
But Jefferson will need to be careful when lobbing bombs to Randle with ball-hawking safety Rambo patrolling the deep.
Rambo does more than challenge LSU defensive end Barkevious Mingo for the best name in the SEC. He's currently leading the conference with seven interceptions this season.
Rambo's also proven dangerous when he gets his hands on the ball, taking one interception for a score while racking up 149 return yards on his interceptions.
Randle, meanwhile, has averaged 18.5 yards per reception this season and is just 111 yards away from topping the 1,000 yards receiving mark for the first time in his career.
He's thrived in LSU's run-oriented attack this season, consistently beating one-on-one matchups for long touchdowns. If LSU manages to catch Rambo with his eyes in the backfield on a play-action call, it could lead to a big play for the LSU offense.
Georgia linebacker Jarvis Jones vs. LSU tackles Chris Faulk and Alex Hurst
No. NAME CLASS HT. WT.
Both LSU tackles are going to need to keep their head on a swivel to keep Jefferson standing upright, as they are facing the SEC's top sack artist in Jones.
As an edge rusher in Georgia's 3-4 defense, Jones has massed an impressive 13.5 sacks in his sophomore season, four more than his nearest conference competitor.
But Jones could have a little extra attention coming his way, after some of his comments to media this week could be used as bulletin board material by the Tigers.
"I think our defense is just as good as theirs, if not better." Jones said, sparking commentary on twitter from some LSU players.
Jones will be ready to back up his talk, but he has a steep uphill climb when trying to get past LSU's two mountainous tackles.
LSU's opponents have only tallied 12 sacks this season, with Faulk and Hurst being the main cogs in LSU's pass protection scheme.
Hurst outweighs Jones by nearly 100 pounds, and Jefferson's blindside protector Faulk outweighs Jones by a healthy 84 pounds. Jones will need to rely on his quickness to avoid the size mismatch.
Georgia kick returner Brandon Boykin vs. LSU kickoff specialist James Hairston
No. NAME CLASS HT. WT.
30 James Hairston Fr. 5-11 175
Boykin hasn't done much as a returner this season, but LSU won't be overlooking Georgia's most dangerous athlete when they kick the ball away.
Though he's averaging just 23.6 yards per kick return this season, Boykin's career numbers speak for themselves: four kickoff returns for touchdowns with three being 100-yarders, and a career average of 25.2 yards per return.
Boykin's going to have to work for his returns Saturday, however, as LSU finally found a man to boom it to the end zone.
Much was made about whether LSU Coach Les Miles should burn Hairston's redshirt so he could kick off this season, but it's hard to argue with the results.
With incumbents Drew Alleman and D.J. Howard only averaging 58.3 yards per kickoff, leaving good field position for the opposition, LSU turned to Hairston to fix the problem.
Since taking over kickoff duties in the West Virginia game, Hairston averaged 65.4 yards per kickoff and has all 14 of LSU's touchbacks.
If Hairston continues to kick it deep, he neutralizes Georgia's big play ability on special teams, and could save LSU from a huge momentum swing.

Dontari Poe Owns the NFL Scouting CombineFebruary 27, 2012 – 11:07 pm by Ryan Phillips
The above video shows Memphis defensive tackle Dontari Poe running faster than should be humanly possible for a man of his size. In fact, it's amazing.
Poe entered this week's NFL Scouting Combine as a probable first-round pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. Poe is expected to become a nose tackle in a 3-4 defense and was considered one of the top five defensive tackles in this draft class. Thanks to his workouts – highlighted in this video – Poe might be one of the first defensive players taken on April 26.
Poe measured in at a mammoth 6'4″ and 346 pounds, the ripped off a combine-high 44 bench press reps at 225 pounds. He followed that up with a 4.98-second 40-yard dash, a 29.5-inch vertical leap, a 105-inch broad jump, a 7.9-second performance in the three-cone drill and a 4.56-second 20-yard shuttle.
That combination of agility and athleticism for a 346-pound guy is simply ridiculous.
No one at this year's combine made himself more money than Poe. Period.
In fact, Mike Mayock called Poe "a once-in-a-decade athlete." And I don't think anyone will argue that.
The guy showed himself to be insanely athletic at his size and will definitely be the first pure nose tackle to go in the 2012 draft, and may have moved himself into the top 15.

Dominican and Mt. Carmel controlled the regional tournament in doubles on Monday at the University Tennis Center at UNO and each will have two pairs Tuesday's semifinals.
Ali Morel and Sophie Skipper make up the top-seeded Mt. Carmel pair that advanced to the semifinals. Morel and Skipper had a first-round bye, swept its second round match (6-0, 6-0) and beat Chapelle's Sotolongo and Jones, 6-3, 6-2.
The No. 1 seed means having the easiest road to the finals, but it also carries pressure to perform. Morel and Skipper said their seeding only added to the excitment.
"We are hoping to live up to (the No. 1 seed), because our teams in the past have," Morel said. "We want to prove that we can do it because we haven't been the No. 1 seed yet."
The Morel/Skipper pair will face Beck/Artigues from Dominican. In the other matchup, the second-seeded Romeu/Blosser pair from Dominican will face the Braud/Neubeck pair from Mt. Carmel.
In the girls doubles tournament, all of the quarterfinalists received a bid into the state championships in Monroe.
The tournament continues Tuesday with the semifinal matches starting at 9 a.m. and the finals at noon.

Heads up for Ten-Tec Paragon owner / users: The Paragon's clock is based on an old Motorola clock chip with a daylight savings time change program. The clock will spring ahead and fall back.... unfortunately the chip was manufactured before the last TWO Congressional mandates so the time changes are much later in the Spring and much earlier in the Fall. When I had my Paragon, I noticed the "GMT" reading changed from what it should be. Ten-Tec had no documentation on the clock's daylight saving time changes. Motorola verified its capability. Paragon owners should not expect a time change next week end. Its already happened and is the reason IF the clock is now one hour slow! 73 & DX, Gary - AB9M _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list email@example.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/tentec

Dubai: All the 16 countries taking part in the Under 19 Cricket World Cup have named their squads for the tournament to be held in Queensland, Australia from August 11-26.
Australia will defend the title they won in Lincoln, New Zealand, in 2010. They will not only aim to win the trophy for the fourth time in nine events, but also try to match Pakistan's effort of winning back-to-back titles.
Pakistan won the tournaments in 2004 and 2006 in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka respectively.
India has also won the tournament twice -- in 2002 in Sri Lanka under Mohammad Kaif and in 2008 under the leadership of Virat Kohli -- while England's Owais Shah put his hands on the trophy in Johannesburg when South Africa staged the event in 1998.
India will be captained by Delhi's opener Unmukt Chand who has scored 738 runs in 11 first-class matches. Other members of the side who have played first-class cricket include Tamil Nadu's top order batsman Baba Aparajith, left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh and opener Akhil Herwadkar, both from Mumbai, right-arm fast bowler Sandeep Sharma and opener Manan Vohra and Dehli's left-arm spinner Vikas Mishra.
The Australia side, which will take on Pakistan in three 50-over matches from July 29 to August 3 on the Gold Coast in the lead up to the Under 19 World Cup, includes South Australia's top order batsman Travis Head, who played all his four first-class matches this season and scored 219 runs, and New South Wales' middle-order batsman Kurtis Patterson, who scored a smashing 157 against South Australia on his debut at the SCG in November last year.
Pakistan, who reached the finals of the inaugural event in Australia in 1988 and then again in 2010 in New Zealand only to lose on both the occasions to Australia, have retained the same side that was declared joint winners with India after their Asia Cup final in Kuala Lumpur on July 1 ended in a tie.

-- Tigers shortstop Jose Iglesias was initially penciled into the starting lineup at shortstop, but he has been scratched due to a contusion on his left toe. He will be replaced by Ramon Santiago.
-- Iglesias, who is listed day-to-day, injured the toe when Michael Brantley slid into him in the sixth inning Wednesday night. He was removed from the game in the ninth inning.
-- The Tigers seek a 12th straight win and a four-game sweep of the Indians tonight. Winners in 15 of 16 games, Detroit hasn't won 12 in a row since Sept. 2-14, 2011.
-- For the third straight game, Don Kelly will bat sixth behind Victor Martinez. Kelly, who has hit .324 (22-for-68) since June 4, will spell Torii Hunter in right field.
-- With Hunter getting a breather after playing 14 innings Wednesday, Andy Dirks will bat second and start in left field. Dirks is hitting just .230 (41-for-178) in his last 52 games.
-- Prior to today's game, the Indians designated struggling slugger Mark Reynolds for assignment, the team announced. Reynolds had hit just .185 (5 of 27) with 10 strikeouts in 27 at-bats since the All-Star break.
-- Right-handed reliever Preston Guilmet was recalled from Triple-A Columbus on Thursday to replace Reynolds on the roster. He was closing at Columbus.
-- Max Scherzer, who is 16-1, can set a career high for wins and notch his 1,000th career strikeout tonight. He's sitting at 999 strikeouts and is the first pitcher to start 16-1 since Roger Clemens began 20-1 in 2001.
-- The Tigers have averaged 6.3 runs while winning four straight and eight of nine at Progressive Field. They last swept a four-game set in Cleveland from June 9-12, 1988.

The election of a black man as president has proven one thing: If you believe in something that seems impossible, it can and will happen.
That's a timely lesson in the wake of several defeats last week, when three states passed anti-gay measures. Among them: supposedly liberal California, where 52 percent of voters approved Proposition 8, which limits marriage to a man and woman.
So, taking a page from Barack Obama's persistence in the face of America's resistance to electing a black president, I'm here to tell everybody who voted against the rights of gays that we're not going away.
So, all you good Christian folk—especially my Mormon, Catholic and Russian Orthodox friends—are you ready for us to knock on your door? Can you handle the fact that, as each anti-gay measure passes, the passions of queer people everywhere will no longer be contained? Do you realize that I will shame you, just like you have tried to do to me for all these years?
Truth is, it's not all about getting married, is it? As you sit in your pew, thinking about how proud God would be of you and your voting record, what you're really doing is assuaging your guilt for denying others the same rights that you, and your new president, have fought so hard for.
Now, is that really what Jesus would do?
I won't fault Obama if queer concerns aren't his highest priority as he wrestles with two wars and a crappy economy. As a student of history, Obama knows how mucky it got during Bill Clinton's first term when Clinton established his "don't ask, don't tell" policy for our armed forces.
But, frankly, we don't need Obama to help us. Not yet. To paraphrase Luke 4:23 from that book that's always getting shoved in gay faces: Homos, it's time to heal thyselves.
We've tried to play by the rules that have hurt us more than helped us. We've gone through the courts, only to be denied. Less than 48 hours after the Cali tragedy, on Thursday the Supreme Court refused to hear Martinez v. Kulongoski, the court case that would've thrown out Measure 36, Oregon's own Prop. 8, and that's something my partner, the lead plaintiff, and I have a stake in.
We've patiently ignored the lies of those, from Anita Bryant to James Dobson, who declare they love us but ensure we can't legally share our lives with the ones we love.
I've tried and tried. And I'm done trying. After years of being shoved down, now is the time for queers to shove back at any place where hate is allowed to thrive. And to keep shoving until we get what we want…and deserve.
We can't outnumber those of you who don't support us. Neither could Obama. He wasn't elected because he was black. He was elected because he was the best person for the job. Similarly, we won't get our rights just because we are gay. We will get them because we will persist in showing that, regardless of our sexuality, we are entitled to the same inalienable rights as every other American, including, God forbid, holy marriage.
If Obama can win, so can we.

Skiing in France
While I love photography, I never really got into video. Because I'm not the guy to pull off flips on skis or jump out of planes, I never considered myself the target audience for a GoPro. However, I got a GoPro for Christmas and was eager to try it on a ski trip to the French Alps. Below is my first attempt at shooting and editing video. The French Alps are stunning and that alone is reason to watch the video. No doubt I have to hone my skills -- both shooting and in the editing room -- and it wouldn't hurt if I could pull off a flip on my skis either. ;-)
Louvre using Drupal
Big news! The world's most visited art museum in the world is now using Drupal for its website: http://louvre.fr. Très cool!
Paris by night
Le Figaro using Drupal
Le Figaro, the oldest and second-largest national newspaper in France, started using Drupal for its social features on http://www.lefigaro.fr. It is still using its old web content management system to serve its main content, but all of the social features such as comments on articles are now provided by Drupal.
I met the engineering team, including Le Figaro's Chief Technology Officer René Wallendorf, for lunch when I was in Paris last week, and they were very happy with Drupal. The integration project was delivered on time, within budget and was considerably cheaper than the alternative solutions they had investigated. All things combined, this should be a big win for Drupal, especially in France. Vraiment très cool!

Dozens of animals at Petco are dead after employees failed to bring them to safety during the flood last week.
Now, neighbors in the community are lashing out at the pet store for their inaction.
According to People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, nearly 100 animals died in the Petco on Harry L. Drive in Johnson City in the plaza next to Toys R Us.
PETA is now launching an investigation into this incident.
Petco says store team members checked on the store shortly before midnight last Wednesday.
They thought everything was good to go.
Team members checked again early Thursday morning and the store was flooded with four feet of water and they couldn't get in.
Action News spoke with Broome Country District Attorney Gerald Mollen.
He says the Binghamton -Johnson City Police Chief, Joseph Zikuski, is gathering information to decide if criminal charges are appropriate.
Neighbors say Petco turned their backs on animals that depended on them.
Ticia Eaves says she is shocked and disgusted.
"Those poor animals didn't have a choice. It was up to the humans to get them out and they didn't," says Eaves.
She took her sentiments to Facebook, creating a Boycott Petco page.
With nearly 9,000 likes, it's clear thousands across the Twin Tiers share her outrage.
"I'm surprised they didn't have a better evacuation plan knowing, history wise, this area has flooded before. It flooded in 2006. They were warned," she says.
Despite highly publicized river flood warnings last Wednesday,
Petco says it misjudged the risk of flooding at their store location.
Petco officials say they feel terrible that they did not do more to avoid this tragedy and accept full responsibility.
But PETA isn't buying it.
"Petco is a multi-billion dollar company. They absolutely had every resource available to them, countless times more resources that the people of the Southern Tier. We managed to get to safety. There is no reason this company couldn't have gotten these animals out of harms way," says PETA representative Dan Paden.
Neighboring shelters such as the Humane Society in Binghamton had better luck than Petco.
They lost everything except their animals.
Karen Matson is the Executive Director of the Humane Society in Binghamton. She says they coordinated with the Red Cross to get help.
"We arranged to have our animals taken out of here through an animal rescue team and boats on Thursday night. But we had all of that in place. We were monitoring the situation so we knew we could get them out before it was too late," she says.
Residents say it's time to stand up to the pet store giant and leave them without a home in the Southern Tier.
"I don't want Petco here period. They did nothing to help the community when this happened and if they don't come back I'm very happy with that," says Eaves.
Many people are expected to show up at the Johnson City store on Friday.
There are other people that think this story is getting too much attention.
Several people commented on the WBNG Facebook page.
They say hamsters or reptiles losing their lives does not compare to people losing their homes and livelihoods.

We have completed a high-resolution VLA/WSRT survey of HI in M33. Our data comprise the most detailed HI observations ever obtained for a spiral galaxy other than the Milky Way and reveal many striking properties of the neutral atomic gas. Spatial resolution of 20~pc (assuming a distance of 840~kpc) permits identification of expanding bubbles smaller than those cataloged by Deul & den Hartog, in addition to HI counterparts of discrete dust clouds. Likewise, we find a complex morphological relationship between HI and HII components. Velocity sampling of 1.3~km/s was achieved, thereby permitting the study of line profile variations as a function of environment within M33. A possible dark companion to M33 has been discovered using our WSRT observations. Deep 100m-class, single dish observations or D-configuration VLA images are needed to follow-up this lead, and exclude the possibility of a Galactic HVC explanation. This poster summarizes our initial analysis of the new dataset.

FLINT, MI – A team tragedy is what led to Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Rob Callaway's first NFL game but he still viewed it as an accomplishment.
Dallas emotionally defeated the Bengals 20-19 on Sunday, Dec. 9.
Although Callaway, a 2006 graduate of Beecher High School, didn't make a tackle and was flagged for encroachment in the second quarter they were still able to win with him in the lineup.
"My brothers called on me. They needed me to play," Callaway told Star-Telegram.com. "I responded the best way I could do. I went out there and did what was necessary to win. I helped spell (Sean) Lissemore so he wasn't dying the whole game. I feel like it was an accomplishment. The circumstances weren't the best, but at the end of the day, Coach told us to respond, and we did."
Callaway didn't know why he was called up from the practice squad at first over the weekend for Sunday's game in Cincinnati. He later learned that it was because of the arrest of Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent on a charge of intoxication manslaughter.
Brent's car accident is what killed his 25-year-old teammate and best friend Jerry Brown on early Saturday.
"I just knew that my team called on me, and I had to respond," Callaway said. "So I just came in and I did what I was supposed to do, which was play my box and stop the run."
Callaway was activated to take the place of Brent. He has spent the last two seasons on the Cowboys' practice squad.

On Saturday, May 25, in the small town of Sweet Home, a new half marathon has sprouted up. The Hero Half was founded in honor of Cpl Keaton Coffey, a Marine killed in Afghanistan during the Memorial Day weekend in 2012. He was an only child and was due to return home and get married mere months after his passing. This run was founded by those that love the Coffey family and want to honor them by letting them know that their son and their sacrifice will never be forgotten, and in the process, honor those serving in our Military today.
Race day will feature 3 distances: the half, an 8k, and a 1.3 mile mini-half. In perusing the race information, the description is to expect hills in addition to the gorgeous scenery. This will not be a flat, walk-in-the-park 13.1 miles, that's for sure. It will be a combination of (open) road running and trail running on the Sweet Home Trail. A course map can be seen here. The 8k is flat and can be viewed here. The mini-marathon will be on the chapel grounds and the cost is $15.
Following the race, stick around for the Umpqua Ice Cream Truck, get a free military buzz cut, and just enjoy the entertainment and silent auction on site. If you Memorial Day plans aren't full yet (or maybe you can add this to your day if your plans already include boating/hiking at nearby Foster Lake), get registered and head down to Sweet Home to remember all those serving our country.
Hero Half & 8k (Sweet Home)
When: 8a
Where: Sweet Home Community Chapel
Register: Online here; $55 (includes shirt) through 5/21, $65 (no shirt) after 5/21; $35 for 8k (add $10 for shirt) through 5/21, $40 (no shirt) after 5/21;

A Two-Latte Morning
I jammed at Peet's Coffee this morning and spent four hours writing. To pay for the free office space, I consumed two vanilla lattes and a bagel with cream cheese. Sigh ... what's good for the deadline is bad for the waistline.

I've just found your blog about how to make a latte whilst I was looking for more information to add to my blog about how to make a latte. You've got a great blog going here. It's always good to have more information about how to make a latte. I've just started my own blog about how to make a latte if you would like to take a look.
Keep up the good work.

FLEMING, N.Y. -- State troopers are asking for the public's help with an investigation into a shirtless man who tried to enter a home in Cayuga County.
Troopers say the man approached the home on Route 34 in Fleming around 7:40 p.m. July 26, a Saturday.
State police provided the following account:
A woman inside the home, which is near Skillet Road, noticed him inside the enclosed front porch. He did not knock, but when she saw him, he told her he was having car problems and needed to use a phone.
When she refused to allow him in, he left.
Video surveillance at the home shows the man driving by the house two times before he stopped. It does not show any evidence that he was having trouble with his car, police said.
Police said the man was driving a black, four-door sedan, possibly a Toyota Corolla.

Lady Mary survivor recounts fishing boat's sinking off Cape May coast
Jose Luis Ariese was asleep in his bunk on the Lady Mary, a 71-foot fishing boat, wearing his cold water survival suit. His wardrobe choice would save his life.
Early Tuesday morning, he was jarred awake by a fellow crew member yelling that the boat was filling with water.
"Jose, Jose, the boat's (going) down, there's water in the kitchen!" Tim "Timba" Smith yelled.
The ship was listing as Ariese made his way outside, wading through waist-deep water inside the cockpit and kitchen. He and Smith stepped right off the boat's deck into the Atlantic Ocean, both wearing life suits.

Within three minutes, the boat was gone, and the men were alone in the roiling sea, 75 miles from land.
By the time a Coast Guard helicopter arrived, 3 1/2 hours later, Ariese was the only one of the boat's seven-man crew left alive.
By this afternoon, the Coast Guard had scaled back its search for four missing fishermen off the southern New Jersey coast as hopes faded that they would be found alive.
Rear Adm. Fred M. Rosa, Jr., the Coast Guard's district commander, said this afternoon that "time and environmental conditions are against us" in looking for survivors.
Killed were Roy Smith Jr. and Timothy Smith, both sons of the boat owner, Roy Smith Sr. of Bayboro, N.C. The elder Smith's brother, Tarzan Smith, 59, of Wildwood, N.J., was among the missing, along with Frankie Credle, Frank Reyes, and William Torres. Their ages and hometowns were not immediately available.
Ariese, 57, a native of Chiapas state in Mexico who lived in Wildwood, and Raleigh, N.C., is the only one known to have survived.
"We're all going to wait and see what the end might be," said Credle's brother, Edward Credle of Bayboro, N.C. "We have been praying."
Ariese said in an interview today that he and Tim Smith were near each other in the water, both wearing survival suits.
They called back and forth to each other in the darkness: "Tim! It's me, Jose! I'm here!"
But Smith stopped responding after five minutes. The water numbed them immediately, making it impossible to climb into a life raft that was nearby.
He never saw any of the four other crew members.
When a Coast Guard helicopter arrived, the raft was empty. Ariese, Tim Smith and Roy Smith Jr. were in the water nearby, but only Ariese was conscious.
Rescuers hauled them onto the chopper using a rescue basket, Ariese first, followed by the two Smiths.
"What happened?" Ariese asked a rescuer when his two colleagues were aboard.
"They're dead," came the reply.
After six days at sea, the boat had 200 bags of scallops aboard, each weighing 50 pounds, Ariese said. He added it is normal for the ship to list sli4ghtly as a net of seafood is hauled aboard.
He suspects whoever was at the wheel at the time lost control of the boat, letting it dip beneath the surface of the water. But that's just a theory, he acknowledged.
Relatives of the missing were preparing themselves for the worst today.
"People are still hoping for the best, but only an act of God can save them at this point," said Paul Thompson, who runs a charter fishing boat out of the same Cape May dock where the Lady Mary was based. "The only way they could still be alive is if they got up out of the water onto something. But if they had done that, the Coast Guard probably would have seen them."
Sean McKeon, executive director of the North Carolina Fisheries Association, said other scallop boat captains from his state were fishing the same waters when weather conditions suddenly worsened.
"I was told the weather got real bad real fast out there yesterday," he said after speaking to several boat captains who were in the area.
The Coast Guard said there were 4- to 7-foot waves in the area at the time of the sinking. The water temperature was 40 degrees -- which one national rescue expert termed "an extreme emergency situation" -- and the air temperature was 33 degrees.
Ariese, who said he doesn't know why he chose to sleep in the lifesaving suit, said he will one day return to the sea to fish.
"It's my job," he said.
