There is so much good stuff in the notes below that I have to share.
Ok, so I, like most of you, get a lot of spam email... some of which I respond to (a practice my IT people frown upon and I don't recommend). However, I can't help myself sometimes.
So, I got this note from "Dr. Nonaka Takashi," who besides having a lengthy title as the "Head of Internal Audit Group, Deputy President,Executive Officer and Director of Mizuho Trust & Banking Co., Ltd. in Japan also promised me a "lucrative business proposal."
You all know I'm a sucker for those. Free money lures me in faster than a burger, fries and milkshake special and as my kids and my waistline know, I love milkshakes.
You'll see below his original plea to me in an email with the subject line, "Waiting to hear from you." I responded with a simple, "What are you proposing?" with my full station signature that clearly identifies me as an "Investigative Producer/Reporter."
His full response is good stuff. I call it the kitchen sink approach to scamming. Throw everything at your potential victim (e.g. subject from war-torn areas like Iraq/Syria, intrigue like dying with no next of kin, $30 million in oil money or guilt-free loot, addressing your fear of a scam right on by writing this is how they do business in the banking world and my personal favorite, the guilt trip).
I know this is a lot to take in, but the personal plea, the guilt trip, is galling. Here it is in full: "I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discharge this mail and forget I ever contacted you, I ask that you do not be vindictive and destructive. Do not destroy my career because you do not approve my proposal. I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience, this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move. Such opportunities only come ones in a lifetime. I cannot let this chance pass me by. For once I find myself in total control of my destiny. This chance won pass me by and please do not let me miss my chance, if you will not work with me let me know and let me move on with my life. I am a family man and this is an opportunity to provide them with new opportunities. I have evaluated the risks and the only risk I have here is from you refusing to work with me and alerting my bank. If you give me positive signals, I will give you the relevant modus operandi to initiate this process towards a successful conclusion. I am counting on your anticipated co-operation for a successful and hitch free business transaction between us, which will be mutually beneficial to both of us."

Tabula Rasa
Book festival could write new chapter in city's literary history
By Sara Cardine 03/15/2012
Editor's note: Due to severe weather, LitFest was postponed and has been rescheduled for May 12. For more information, visit litfestpasadena.org.
As recently as one year ago, the idea of a literary festival in Pasadena seemed little more than a dream. Despite the city's long-standing reputation as a bastion of the arts, and the fact that Pasadena is home to several renowned authors, there had never been an event that recognized the region's rich contribution to literature or tried to connect readers with area writers, poets and publishers.
Until now.
LitFest, the city's first free, communitywide book festival, takes place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday in Pasadena's Central Park at the corner of Del Mar Boulevard and Fair Oaks Avenue. In addition to readings and panel discussions led by some of the area's best known authors, LitFest boasts hands-on activities for kids and "good food, better books and great fun, all aimed at promoting the literary arts."
The troika organizing the event comprises local author Jervey Tervalon, Pasadena Star-News Editor Larry Wilson and Tom Coston, producer of the Doo Dah Parade. While the group's immediate aim is to host an event that celebrates the written word, LitFest itself is a linchpin of a broader mission to foster a core community of authors, poets and artists in Pasadena.
"To me, the city should have always had an arts festival, ever since the Tournament of Roses began. There should be a 120-year-old arts festival, but there isn't," Wilson says. "We're putting the word out, but you never know the first time — this is the tabula rasa."
Before you begin conjuring images of LitFest as a closer, less crowded version of the annual LA Times Festival of Books, be warned: This is not your grandmother's book club. At least that's one popular tagline being used to advertise the inaugural event. Given that the idea was a vision that grew organically among a poet/newsman, a novelist who teaches creative writing at USC and one of the visionaries behind the Doo Dah Parade, the fringe quality of LitFest was a natural conclusion.
"For us, this represents an independent spirit and making room for voices that may not have been heard," says Coston. "What's great about Pasadena is we do it our way. If you have a Rose Parade, you have a Doo Dah Parade. So if you have a Festival of Books, you have a LitFest. It's kind of a counterpoint event that has the kind of stuff that's not at the other places."
Embracing LitFest's alternative, counter-culture spirit, an October fundraiser at Castle Green, titled "Singing the Bawdy Electric," featured members of the art model group Gallery Girls performing a striptease to literary readings. That, along with a second fundraiser in January, raised the $15,000 needed to pay for city permits, tents and other costs, according to Wilson. Astoundingly, the big literary names scheduled for Saturday, many of them friends of the organizers and groups involved, will appear for free. "Everybody's doing it because they believe in it and love it," Tervalon says.
And the author appearances planned for Saturday are sure to set book hounds slavering. Pulitzer Prize-winning food critic/author Jonathan Gold, novelists Mona Simpson and Denise Hamilton and local poet Wanda Coleman are confirmed to attend. Libros Schmibros founder David Kipen will join 30 other publishers, institutions and book vendors selling titles at the event. Panel discussions will cover a range of topics, including: 21st Century Noir; The Rise of the Graphic Novel: Write the Image; the LA Canvas; and History, Fiction…and Truth?
A children's area will employ storytelling, Shakespearian actors from Foshay Learning Center and a demonstration on Quidditch, the once-fictitious sport brought to life in the Harry Potter book series.
Reaching out to students and teachers is a particular passion of Tervalon's. He hopes educators who attend LitFest are inspired by the unique ways literature is used to entertain and engage younger audiences.
"Literature belongs to a community, not just trapped inside a classroom or a university, where it can wither and die," he says. "We're celebrating writers in the region and our literary life, which is vital and growing and organic."
As quickly as things are developing in the days leading up to the event, bringing LitFest to life was an immense effort. When the group couldn't get the city to organize a festival, Wilson and Tervalon began meeting weekly at Caltech's Athenaeum to discuss how they might do it. The meetings grew as more individuals and groups came on board, including local publishers Red Hen Press and Prospect Park Media.
To help with the fiscal and bureaucratic details involved with nourishing the festival from zygote to viable life, the group contacted the Pasadena Arts Council, a nonprofit that supports community arts projects. It's EMERGE fiscal sponsorship program acts as an incubator for events like LitFest.
Currently, the Arts Council manages the group's funds and provides oversight and a range of services, from bookkeeping and accounting to marketing and grant-writing assistance, according to Executive Director Terry LeMoncheck.
LeMoncheck says that when Wilson and Coston first contacted her about bringing a free book festival to Pasadena, it made perfect sense.
"We talk about Pasadena as the city of art and science. But there are a lot of readers in Pasadena, and there are a lot of writers in Pasadena," she says. "Visual and performing arts are very rich in Pasadena, but I feel it's important to have as broad a perspective as possible."
No one knows just how many will turn out on Saturday, and guesses range from Wilson's cautious 750 to Tervalon's optimistic 5,000 ("It's interesting, compelling and free — and there's lots of parking," he qualifies.) But most are hopeful those who attend will want to come back next year and will spread word about the literary storm coming to Pasadena, one that is perhaps 100 years overdue and summed up neatly by Coston: "It's a scrappy little effort on behalf of literature."

Stomp The Orange EP Launch
- At June 10, 2013
- By Gerry Considine
- In Live, Music, Recording, Stomp The Orange
- 2
So, I'm like….in a band (in best hipster voice).
We are a two piece blues-rock-punk-noisy band and play guitar, drums, synth. Curtis and I have been playing as Stomp The Orange for 18 months and have finally recorded an EP. We were lucky enough to win a Battle of the Bands competition in September last year that had a day of recording with Willy at Unpleasant Studios as a prize. So over 6 hours on Easter Sunday we laid down 5 tracks that have ended up on the CD. After some amazing mixing courtesy of Mick at Mixmasters, we are now ready to launch our music into the high seas of Australian music. If you are free in Adelaide this Friday night, then come and see us with other great bands Seventeen Fifty Seven and Filthy Lucre. Below is a short video of some behind the scenes footage of recording, mixing and playing live. You can also hear three of the tracks on Triple J Unearthed. Enjoy!

The Idler is a company devoted to helping people to lead more fulfilled lives. We publish a quarterly magazine and a series of guide books, produce quirky online courses, run live events and sell books and gifts.
Our story
Back in 1991, bored to tears by his job, 23 year old journalist Tom Hodgkinson lay on his bed and dreamed of starting a magazine called The Idler. He'd found the title in a collection of essays by Dr Johnson, himself a constitutionally indolent man. How to live, that was the question. How to be free in a world of jobs and debt? And curse this alarm clock.
Tom was fortunately sacked from his job and started to sign on. He wandered across the road to where his old friend, designer and writer Gavin Pretor-Pinney lived. Gavin could get things done. He was the kind of person who could help Tom to realise this dream. And he did. In August 1993, the pair produced issue one of the Idler. It had the sub-title "literature for loafers". Dr Johnson was the cover star and there was an interview with magic mushroom guru Terence McKenna. Contributors included a young journalist called Louis Theroux.
The magazine has since enjoyed a number of incarnations. In the nineties it was published by the Guardian newspaper, then by Ebury publishing. Tom published the Idler as an annual collection of essays until 2014, then relaunched the mag as a quarterly journal in 2016.
The Idler Academy
The Idler Academy, founded at a festival in 2010, is the Idler's educational offshoot. It is a school which offers online and real-world courses in the classical liberal arts and practical skills. From 2011 to 2015 we ran a small bookshop and café in Notting Hill.
The Idler Academy teaches philosophy, astronomy, calligraphy, music, business skills, English grammar, ukulele, public speaking, singing, drawing, self-defence and other subjects. Here you can educate yourself in the ideas of Plato or learn the ukulele, in convivial surroundings with like-minded and interesting people.
Founders Tom and his partner Victoria Hull had always been festival-goers, and in 2008 they were invited by the founders of the Secret Garden Party to run a series of literary talks. They were given a yurt and built a medieval garden in the shade of a lime tree. They put on talks from Crass's Penny Rimbaud, QI's John Mitchinson, poet Clare Pollard and radical economist Andrew Simms. To their surprise the revellers loved to debate, listen and talk. Four charming young men asked if they could play a gig on our stage. They played a folky set of hoedown numbers. As they left Tom asked their name. "We're called Mumford & Sons," they said.
In 2010 the pair ran a talk tent at the Port Eliot Festival which they called The Idler Academy of Philosophy, Husbandry and Merriment. The first event was a lesson in how to sew on a button properly, and this was followed by classes in Latin, grammar and natural history with interludes of medieval music. Their tent was packedTom and Victoria enjoyed themselves so much they they decided to open a full time Idler Academy in London, a convivial place where people could go to learn and to meet people. They took out a five year lease on a shop in a quiet corner of Notting Hill, stocked it with educational books and started to advertise lessons in ukulele, philosophy, sewing, idling, carpentry and Latin. The people came.
From the outset, Tom and Victoria were deluged by emails from overseas idlers complaining that they were missing the fun and could please we open an Idler Academy in Boise, Idaho? The idea of running two or more Idler Academies seemed like too much work. But was there another way of taking their teaching to a wider audience? An American friend told them about new developments in online courses. So Tom and Victoria employed a filmmaker to produce a video version of the Idler's course in Ancient philosophy. When 120 units shifted in the first 24 hours, they knew they were on to something.
The Idler Academy now offers seventeen online courses and has sold over 2000 copies to over 20 countries. In 2016 we plan to grow this side of the business.
In September 2014 the Idler was joined by former city investor and fund manager Christian Dangerfield, who is bringing his commercial experience to take the idling message to a global audience.
The Team
Tom Hodgkinson, Founder
Tom was born in 1968 and was educated at Westminster School and Jesus College, Cambridge. He founded the Idler in 1993 and went on to join the Guardian newspaper as a columnist and head of editorial development. He and partner Gavin Pretor-Pinney then set up their a creative consultancy and undertook editorial and advertising projects for Channel 4, Sony Playstation, Paramount Comedy Channel, John Brown Publishing, Mother ad agency and many more.
In 2002 Tom quit the commercial world and retired to a farmhouse on the coast of North Devon to write books. His first book How to be Idle was a global best-seller and was followed by How to be Free, The Idle Parent and Brave Old World. He has also co-written The Book of Idle Pleasures (with Dan Kieran) and The Ukulele Handbook (with Gavin Pretor-Pinney). He has published a number of pamphlets including his own We Want Everyone, an attack on Facebook, and Dr Matthew Green's history of the London coffeehouse. Most notably Tom asked old school grammarian Nevile Gwynne to write a grammar guide for his children. Tom published the resulting book, Gwynne's Grammar, in an edition of 100. It caught the eye of Random House who brought out a commercial edition. This astonished everyone by spending five months in the Sunday Times top ten. The follow-up, Gwynne's Latin, was also a top ten best-seller.
In 2014 Tom returned to London to launch develop the Idler Academy both in the real world and online. In 2016 we relaunched the Idler as a print quarterly.
Victoria Hull, Programming Director
Victoria Hull was educated at St Paul's School and St Andrews. Following stints as a teacher and a TV researcher, she created The Clerkenwell Literary Festival in 1997. She mixed established names with new fresh talent and the festival attracted young and urban crowds. In 2002 she moved to a farmhouse in North Devon and spent the next few years raising a family and learning the arts of country living and household management. In 2011 she launched the Idler Academy and now lives in London.
Alice Smith, Art Director
Alice Smith has been art director for the Idler since 2009. She is responsible for the various illustrations, decorations and borders that you will see on our site.

Former city attorney to answer to hit-and-run charges ThursdayMay 01,2013By Brent Curtis
Staff Writer
Former Rutland City attorney Christopher Sullivan has been charged with two felony offenses in the death of Mary Jane Outslay, according to the Vermont Attorney General's Office.
Sullivan, 53, has been issued a citation to appear in Rutland criminal court Thursday to answer to felony charges of leaving the scene of a crash, death resulting and driving under the influence with death resulting. Both charges carry a maximum 15-year jail sentence.
State prosecutors declined to discuss any specifics of the case on Wednesday.
However, court records made public Wednesday that concerned a pair of Vermont State Police search warrants indicated that the drunken driving charge was based in part on statements Sullivan provided to police.
In the search warrants, sought by police for Sullivan's cell phone and the 2004 Lexus sedan he was driving the night of the crash, police say Sullivan told them that on April 10 he visited a downtown bar and consumed three glasses of wine at around 5:15 p.m.
He then traveled to a friend's house in the northwest section of the city where he told police he drank three to four beers and ate some ribs.
At about 7:50 p.m., Sullivan left to pick up his son who works at Hannaford supermarket off Route 7 in Rutland Town.
Sullivan told police that while driving on Strongs Avenue at about 8 p.m. he heard a "thud" and panicked. He told police that instead of stopping, he drove to the Hannaford parking lot where he noticed that his car's hood and windshield was damaged. Seventeen hours later, at 1 p.m. on April 11, Sullivan identified himself as the driver involved in the crash that killed the 71-year-old woman.
The former longtime city attorney also turned over his 2004 Lexus sedan to Vermont State Police and Rutland City police investigators who spent the better part of three weeks collecting and analyzing evidence in the case. While faced with two serious felony offenses, Sullivan remains free and it's unclear whether prosecutors will ask for bail at his arraignment. An assistant attorney general declined to comment about bail or any details of the case on Wednesday afternoon.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

It's about poop.
I recently started giving my older ds EBM. He's 22mo, and I also have a 5 week old that I'm nursing, so I figured that I would pump for my older son, so he could again recieve the benefits of the breast milk. However, I've noticed that he hasn't had a really solid poop since he began drinking my milk. It's about the consistency of peanut butter. Is this normal? I think he was actually starting to have problems with the cow's milk again (he was diagnosed with a cows milk allergy at 8mo, became ok to drink it around 15mo, and then again at about 21mo he started having poop problems). He was having some diarrhea and basic loose stools most of the time, and we haven't been able to get into see his pediatric allergist. So anyways, I'm not sure if that was the reason for his poop problems or not but needless to say, his poop has been constantly changing for the past couple months, and I'm just making sure that this kind is ok for his age.


text: Hi first I just want to say Hi to all, when I found this mother to mother forum I about screamed with happiness! I've tried to stay positive despite all the problems I've experienced so far from nursing my 7 week old baby girl and one thing that worries me the most is that she seems somedays when it's time for a feeding (which is normally every 2 hrs.) to be real fussy after being on my breast for about a couple minutes. She kicks and cries and pulls off and then right away latches back on takes a couple more gulps then does the same thing. Now I've related it to maybe bad gas, maybe she's swallowing alot of air but I'm not a stranger to nursing as this is my 4th baby. Or maybe I'm missing something? Does anyone have this problem? I really watch what I eat, I've cut out the gassy foods the caffeine but she still does this every now and then. It's so frustrating cuz I don't know how to help her. I try to burp her and sometimes she'll burp sometimes she won't and then sometimes when she does she spits up quite a lot. Can anyone relate?

Doc said Ultrasound is normal . Not much else, except that she may just be a big belly baby with gas. I guess we just keep trying to get that gas out and stop worrying about her belly. Welcome to motherhood and all the worrying that comes with it - thanks all for caring and letting me have a venue to share.
If anyone has any suggestions about getting gas out besides Mylacon, bicycles, knees to chest and belly massage - please let me know.
my lo loves it when i put her ober my shoulder with my sholder digging into her belly. it helps her burp, especilly firm pats on the lower back

As mentioned by a PP, gentle tummy pressure can sometimes help gas work its way out. If your baby isn't too keen on tummy time, you can try carrying her around in the football/colic/gas hold (you see it called all three).
You basically cradle her head in the crook of your elbow, facing down/out, drape her body along your forearm, tummy down, and use your hand to hold onto her leg/crotch.
Aside from the massage, mylicon, bicycling, and so forth, that's the only other thing I could think of. Glad to hear everything was normal on the ultrasound!!

Panera CEO looks to fix 'mosh pit' ordering systemBy CANDICE CHOI
The Associated Press | April 10,2014ap file photo
Panera Bread Co. CEO Ron Shaich stands behind a counter at a location in St. Louis. The chain is planning to overhaul its "mosh pit" ordering system at its roughly 1,500 locations nationwide in a project called Panera 2.0. It's a push that entails letting customers order online or with their mobile devices to have their food ready to go at a certain time.NEW YORK — Panera CEO Ron Shaich realizes that ordering at his chain can be chaotic.
First, the bakery cafe's customers are given a buzzer that lets them know when their food is ready. Then they get into a "mosh pit" to fight for their food. Next they play a game he calls "Find Your Food" — collecting a sandwich in one place, drinks in another and condiments in yet another.
The confusion is a problem for Panera Bread Co., which has seen its sales growth slow as customers go elsewhere. Last year, sales at established locations rose 2.3 percent, compared with a 5.7 percent increase the previous year.
Now, the St. Louis-based company is planning to overhaul the way people order in a project called "Panera 2.0" The plan includes letting customers order online or with their mobile devices to have their food ready to go at a set time. Also in the works are in-store touchscreens where customers can more easily customize their sandwiches.
It's a major undertaking that has been in testing at more than a dozen locations since 2010. The first stage of the national rollout will be the "rapid pick-up" option that lets customers place mobile orders as much as five days in advance. The full rollout to the company's more than 1,700 locations will take several years.
Shaich says the idea is to eliminate the obstacles customers have to overcome to fulfill their "lust" for the company's soups, sandwiches and salads. Eventually, he said the goal is to offer "personalized menus" on mobile devices based on a customer's order history.
Q: How did the idea for this come about?
A: As a CEO, I'm paid to figure out where the world is going, not where it is. Today's consumer wants it their way. They want it customized. We have to have the system for that.
We're entering a world where so many consumers are growing up in an omni-channel world. They want it where they want it and when they want it. And the reality is we're either going to have the capability of delivering into that or we're not.
We're three to five years away. You're going to pick up your iPhone and you're going to go, "Yo. Siri. I want a Bacon Turkey Bravo at Panera."
Q: Tell us about how Panera 2.0 is going to work.
A: Like most restaurants, Panera operates with a one-size-fits-all system. But the reality is that's not necessarily how I need it and want it.
I drive my kids to school three times a week. We stop at the Panera by my office. I used to pick up the phone about seven or eight minutes out from the store and I'd call the store and I'd say, "hey, can you take my order?' I'd always be worried that they didn't get the order right, so I made sure they read the order back.
I'd hand my son my credit card, and he'd run in and we'd be out in a minute. I'd say to myself, `this is wonderful, but it's only working for the CEO. What about the other 8 million people?"
"We began to think about how we change that guest experience. Why couldn't you order food on the Web, order your food in multiple ways and have the food made as you were driving to the store? Why couldn't you walk into the store, walk past the line that's always there? Walk over to a special area where your food is waiting for you?
Q: How does the eat-in experience change?
A: It changes the whole thing. Imagine a world where I could place my order (on a mobile device) as I sat down. And imagine a world where it actually knew what my order was. I order the same latte, two pumps, not three, of caramel. Extra foamy with skim milk. I do it 20 times a week. Why couldn't it remember that?
We began to imagine a world where you could place an eat-in order from the table and have the food brought right to you. Or you could go to a kiosk and place the order. Or yet again, you could go to a register.
Everybody is talking about technology in the restaurant industry. It's the new thing. But technology doesn't matter if it doesn't change the guest experience.
Q: When will customers actually see all these changes?
A: This will roll out to the system in the next 36 months. The first things that will come is the ability to do rapid pickup. You place the order and designate the time you want it to be picked up, walk into that cafe and have it sitting there waiting for you on a specific bookshelf.
You don't have to wait for the food. That will be out within 2014.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Its not just the musical Hairspray that will air live on NBC tonight. Full StoryOXON HILL, Md. Far from the Las Vegas Strip, MGM Resorts International opens its $1. Full Story

How to Double Your iPhone's Battery Life
There's reason to have hesitated. One, I'm reluctant to write an article that reads like an ad for a product. Two, this isn't the type of article I typically write. Three, there's not much to say other than the answer to the question the title poses. And, four, I might be telling plenty of people something they already know.
But then I thought again ... if I didn't know about this, enough other folks likely exist who don't either, making it all worthwhile. Plus this is a big problem for a lot of people, if my Twitter feed serves as an any indication.
Battery life on Apple's
Generally speaking, you can get other smartphones with superior battery life. Some models let you swap batteries. And so on.
I tend to discount these issues -- my long-term thesis notwithstanding -- as Apple remains present-day dominant. But, again, recurring beefs warrant attention.
I dealt with more of a "charge" issue last week when I was traveling in the Northeast. I left my iPhone charger at TheStreet's office on Wall Street when I left Wednesday evening. Staying in Midtown Manhattan, I didn't want to go back to fetch it or trek to the Apple Store (even though it was quite close to my hotel); as such I was left without a charger and, headed into my Thursday Amtrak trip from Penn Station to Washington, D.C., with a dying phone.
No big deal I figured. If I can't get a charge, I can live without the phone until I can bum a little white cord off of somebody. On the train, the gentleman seated next to me let me use his charger. That got me up to about 75%. But, by the time I arrived at my destination in DC, I was almost depleted.

Hey yall, I filmed this movie last summer called DOING IT RIGHT. I'm done with it now and would love for people to see it. It's about two friends who have the day off and they spend their time cruising around, talking deep shit, and getting girlfriends. It involves alot of trespassing all over my hometown. Take a chance and watch a bit if you want. There's thrilling romance, a lave lamp explosion and a gucci mane karaoke at the end.
I hope you find something to enjoy about it.
If you do watch the whole thing please critique the hell out of it for me. I'm gonna be making another movie this summer and I wanna know whatchu think. Ad meliora

Edward G. Emch II 1952-3013
NILES – Edward Glenn Emch II, 60, passed away Monday, April 22, 2013, at Hospice House in Poland.
On Dec. 3, 1952, Edward and Dorothy Jenkins-Emch welcomed into the world their fourth child, Ed.
Ed was a talented individual who taught government at Howland High School since the late 1990s. Prior to that, he was an insurance agent for The Prudential Insurance Company of America. While with Prudential, Ed was a member of the prestigious "Million Dollar Club."
Ed was a proud graduate of Salem High School. He was a class officer of his 1971 graduating class and also represented the school at Buckeye Boys State. He also was a graduate of Youngstown State University, achieving a master's degree in education. Sports were always an integral part of Eddie's life. While at Salem, Ed achieved All State Honors in football and was heavily recruited by Syracuse, West Virginia University and several Big 10 teams. He also was an outstanding baseball player, lettering in that sport for the Quakers.
Ed used his success in both of those sports while at Howland High School. For many years, he was the assistant coach on Chuck Potashnik's Tiger baseball teams and helped lead that team to a number of league titles. He also was for many years on the coaching staff of Dick Angle, helping to develop many of the players who contributed to the success of the Tiger football program.
Ed is survived by his children, Deanna "Nan" (Dr. George Scott) Wilson of Salem, Edward III (Heather) of Harrison City, Pa., and Dustin Emch of Newnan, Ga.; and grandchildren, Emma and Jack Wilson of Salem.

Mirror Lake issue needs clarifyingAugust 27,2013
Mirror Lake explained
An open letter to Anthony Iarrapino, senior attorney with the Conservation Law Foundation, in response to the article in The Times Argus, Projects in Calais highlight shoreline issues:
The Calais Development Review Board and I, as town zoning administrator, were quite happy to read that you and John Dillon from Vermont Public Radio are worried about preserving the pristine quality of our beautiful Mirror Lake. But if youre looking for support for better regulation of Vermonts waterways, youre using the wrong tactics. You evidently dont know that Vermonters dont react well to false, sloppy and poorly conceived reporting about issues, like environment preservation, that are important to us.
What distortions? Let me count the ways:
The Dillon story claims that excessive land clearing recently damaged Mirror Lake at two different lakeshore sites. But the story identified only one of those sites.
The land clearing at that site was not land clearing at all. The Calais DRB authorized the landowner to cut brush (by hand) to a height of no less than 1 foot, a practice undertaken at this particular property every seven years for the past 75 years.
No trees were cut; no roots were disturbed, no runoff resulted, and there was no erosion.
The site maintenance that you and Dillon cite as a dire threat to Mirror Lake has been done consistently since the Civil War, a fact entirely overlooked in your chatter about our lake being widely admired, heavily used for recreation and crystal clear.
Clearly, this portrait of Mirror Lake was contrived for some purpose other than saving a natural treasure. The real goal, I suggest, was to further erode the ability of towns to control development and use of our property. Indeed, in the final paragraph of Dillons story, you state clearly the motive for the phony concern for Mirror Lake: ... volunteer officials in many of these municipalities arent equipped with the scientific resources to make decisions.
This opinion, besides maligning many dedicated, intelligent, hardworking volunteers in favor of replacing them with professional state employees, overlooks the fact that the state does already have total authority to regulate the greatest threat to Vermonts waterways: agriculture. Farm runoff is the greatest polluter of our streams and lakes, from Lake Champlain to the Winooski River. Yet only the state has any regulatory authority over this pollution disaster.
Local volunteer zoning officials do not attempt to make scientific decisions. They enforce local laws, bylaws and ordinances written by planning commissions, approved by select boards and voted on by the populace at town meetings. The volunteers are supported by professional workers at regional planning commissions, the Vermont League of Cities and Towns, and state agencies like the Agency of Natural Resources.
This is how our local democracy works, and we like it that way.
Oh, by the way, unlike you and Dillon, we nonprofessionals do know the difference between a zoning variance and a conditional use permit.

Dear Members,
Keep in mind that Character Bashing is now prohibited. Making fun of certain characters/character pairings leads to a pointless thread filled with insults and general rule breaking.
Also, remember that Versus threads are allowed only in the Versus section.
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I just found this scan on saiyan island.
Are you guys excited that Bijuu Naruto is confirmed or what? Cause I am.
Can't see Shiet...
Link doesn't work.
i cant wait Uchiha Inza
Yes, this has been confirmed over 9,000 times.
If that's the case I think Madara will also be included in Storm 3.
PRETTY OBVIOUS :sy: I mean come on if the game goes up to the war arc why the f*ck would they not have bijuu naruto in it? That would just be a big ole kick in the nuts. They probably gonna have Madara, and unmasked Obito as well. Who I hope will be in this game is Sakumo, Kakashi's dad. Lol wdf happened to iruka though is he so fodder that they can't create a move set for him? Lmfao

Its already clear that the game goes into the Naruto vs Obito fight, but that fight is very long and drags on throughout multiple simultaneous fights, so it would kind of lame to end the game in the middle of the Obito fight, but at the same time the fight isnt even over yet in the manga. Really the only plot point that far into the story that I can think of that would be a good end point for the game would be when Itachi and Sasuke reach Kabuto, but thats still a lame cliff hanger ending. Then next big end point would be the Juubi, but thats even more of a cliff hanger. So now I wait.
meh all Im hoping for his Adult Obito
Edo Itachi PLEASE D:
Hm i see well i just hope they continue to make as many Naruto games as possible. and go out with a great ending...
Does that mean that the anime would be up to or past chapter 570 by February?

The 2012 Whitworth men's soccer season came to an end with a 1-0 loss to Mississippi College in the first round of the NCAA Division III tournament on Saturday evening at Trinity University.
The Pirates fell to 13-3-3 and it marks only the second time that Whitworth has not advanced past the first round in seven NCAA tournament appearances. Meanwhile the Choctaws improved to 13-5-2 in their first-ever NCAA tournament contest and move on to play the winner of the match between host Trinity and Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
"I thought we played well and worked hard," said Whitworth head coach Sean Bushey. "It was a good game by both teams and I believe we represented Whitworth and Whitworth soccer well."
The only goal of the match came in the 53rd minute. Diego Ayala scored the winner on a double assist from Harrison Russell and Wesley Noble.
The Pirates pressured the MC net with several late shots, but could not get the ball into the goal.
Each team finished with nine shots and Whitworth had a slight 4-3 edge in shots on-goal. Robert Jackson made three saves in net for the Choctaws. Kyle Novak made two stops in his final matches as the Pirates' netminder.
"We are very disappointed to lose, but that is the beauty of the game," Bushey concluded. "To win is hard. You must earn it and sometimes when you may have earned it, you still may not get the rewards you desire. Yet you are continued to be called upon to give your very best. That is what we did."
Whitworth will return 10 starters in 2013.

- Evaluation of off-angle thermal spray
- Author(s)
- Leigh, Sang Ha; Berndt, C. C.
- Abstract
- The effect of spray angle on the properties of plasma spray deposits has been investigated. Two different materials, NiAl and Cr3C2-NiCr, were sprayed at angles from 50 to 90° with respect to the substrate. The spray angle influenced the microstructure and the properties of the deposits. The porosity increased as the spray angle decreased, i.e. as the angle was shifted away from the perpendicular position. The surface roughness of the Cr3C2-NiCr deposit was not sensitive to the spray angle, whereas NiAl exhibited an increase as the spray angle decreased. Microhardness, tensile adhesion strength, and interfacial fracture toughness decreased with spray angle. The change of these properties with spray angle is attributed to (1) the morphology of the splats, (2) the change of the local spray angle, and (3) the change of momentum of particles impacting on the substrate or previously deposited particles. The mechanical-property variations arise from porosity changes which occur from the spray angle variations.

Mission statements
September 20, 2012 —
SULLIVAN COUNTY, NY — "The past is history, the future a mystery and the present is a gift," goes the adage. For teams that experienced varying degrees of success as well as for those that never won a game, this year's mission is to be markedly more successful. Making it to the postseason is the goal for established programs, while learning the basics and improving from game to game is uppermost for those who have had little or no prior success.
Locally in football, an interesting clash was shaping up prior to this past weekend between neighboring Class D Eldred and Class C Sullivan West. Both teams came in at 2-0. Eldred had dominated Livingston Manor and Fallsburg, scoring nearly 100 points in the process while allowing none. Traveling to Sullivan West on September 14, the Yellow Jackets and their coach Patrick Kean figured to have their first real acid test. They hoped to knock off the Bulldogs en route to returning the program to its former dominance, which has abated over the past few years.
The Bulldogs, who had beaten stronger foes in Chester and Liberty, had ideas of their own, namely to remain undefeated and to school the Yellow Jackets in the rigors of hard-nose football. This was far from the clash of the titans. Sullivan West trounced Eldred 56-6 to improve to 3-0.
From the opening kickoff, wherein Eldred fumbled the ball thereby setting up Jared Meola's 17-yard TD run a minute into the game, followed by Michael Sedlack's PAT, Eldred missed some early chances and then played back on its heels to the rapacious Dawgs, who scored on them seemingly at will. The Westies put the kibosh on Eldred QB Anthony Margarum, who has a great arm but was harried, rushed and sacked, eventually giving way to his younger replacement, Hunter Kolvenbach. Meanwhile, Sullivan West senior QB Sawyer Erwein would score two rushing TDs, while passing for two more scores. The Bulldogs held a 13-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Andrew Stabbert's five-yard TD pass reception opened the second quarter. A conversion pass to Cody Franskevicz for made it 21-0. A 34-yard screen pass to Brian Stauch widened the margin to 27-0. Forcing a safety netted two more points and set up a short field for Erlwein, who raced 20 yards to the house. Sedlack added the PAT. Meola returned a kickoff 45 yards for another score and Sedlack split the uprights again. Travis Roeder would race 24 yards and Sedlack rounded the score to 50-0 before Eldred's Julian Gottlieb raced 37 yards against the back up Dawgs. Stabbert's two-yard run ended the rout at 56-6.

Basketball's Fine but Baseball's Divine
Tomorrow is the first official Rockies spring training game of 2010 against the D-Backs.
I so wanted to be there welcoming the players and wishing them good luck. My smiling face was doing just that the first game of spring training last season and look how far the Rockies went…I'm just say'n🙂
The Hotstove.com has been sending out questions to Rockies Bloggers and they've been posting my responses along with several other Rockies Bloggers.
Here's the question from Feb 24, 2010:
If free agent infielder Felipe Lopez can be had for a bargain price, should the Rockies consider bringing him in to give Clint Barmes some competition at second base?
The other question was from today and it was:
The Rockies have been notoriously slow starters in the past few seasons, often digging a deep hole for themselves in April. Is it the cold weather in Colorado, or something else that keeps the team from performing well early in the season?
Answering questions about the Rockies is fun in anticipation of the regular season but thank god for basketball, it fulfulls my need to watch live sports and take pictures in the baseball off-season and doesn't break the bank(Thanks B).
In a month we'll be watching the Rockies play the Mariners. I have several goals for those two special games.
You ask why is it a special game? Honestly I'm not sure but the ticket prices suggest something special so when I figure out exactly what it is that justifies the extremely high cost of tickets for these two games I'll let you know. (The cheapest ticket is $25.00)
First I'd like to get Ken Griffey Jr's autograph(Yeah I know who wouldn't). It's doubtful he'd sign for me dressed up in my Rockies gear but my wife Krista will be with me and that levels the playing field.
Second I'd like to catch a batting practice homer and/or possibly a game foul ball.
Third, I'd like to get Jason Giambi's autograph. Yes I know I have all season to do that but I figure I'd get 'er done early and that's one less thing to do.
By the way if you're attending this game and would like to trade your BERM tickets for tickets in section 120 give me a shout.
I attended the Nuggets/Pistons game on Feb 26th with my buddy Tom and Vanilla Ice was the half-time show. This is the second time I've seen Vanilla Ice at the Pepsi Center as he did the same thing last season.
I'm not a fan, the video was shot only for future laughs.
Here are random game shots from the third level. A shot of Kenyon Martin who's been injured.
This is a No-No, c'mon dude this was a good game.
George Karl, being a trooper and working through his illness.
If you've ever wondered why they call Chris Anderson "The Birdman" here's why.
The Nuggets beat the Pistons 107-102.
Next weekend is Frozen Dead Guy Days in my town of Nederland, Colorado.
I plan to do a huge entry with pictures on FDGD explaining exactly what it is so you'll have to check back to read it.
The games have begun, and I'm ready for some fun in the sun.
D..The Rockpile Ranter

man i wish i lived in Denver. That would be so cool, nuggets, rockies, broncos, avalanche. Plus the mountains it must be awesome to live in Colorado
Ahhhh what a "divine" blog post lol! I'm going to Denver, CO during Spring Break and I can't wait!! I love Colorado because it's so fresh and clean compared to Los Angeles😉 And what great sports teams they have
I love basketball too but i'm so happy it's almost baseball season!
All my thoughts and prayers to George Karl as he battles through his cancer. The Nuggets are a great team and he's a great coach too. Best of luck to him. It's so unfortunate.
Hey D,
Looks like the team is shaping up nicely. Man I can't wait for the regular season to start.
It is so wild that Ken Griffey Jr has gotten so old and we stay the same….maybe.
Seriously, he is one of my icons that I treasure having his autograph and you should do everything short of stepping on the field to get a scribble from a guy who helped define baseball for us.
My other fav was Frank Thomas, and I caught one of his foul balls in 2008 and he signed the ball the next days and told me " nice catch". It found its way to the Jumbotron becuase I leaned over the rail and back-handed it.
Being an old third baseman paid off that night.
I have never been a BB guy. Not even in High School when people wanted me to come out….Do not know why the sport did not click with me.
But our favorite is back in less than a month and I am trying to push the clock as fast as I can here.
Rays Renegade
JOHNNY-Welcome to the Rant, and you are correct. Thanks for noticing.
MIMI-Yea, I feel for George Karl, I wish him my best. Say Hi if you make a Rockies game during spring break.
R-LUV-Hell Yeah it does, Seth Smith looks great, Cookie is smoking..Can't wait for April 2nd🙂
Hey D,
Was dreaming that I was at a game this morning just before I woke up. What an awesome way to start the day.🙂

First Team News
City end tour in style
Sergio Aguero
City were too hot for Malaysia as goals from Sergio Aguero, Carlos Tevez and Adam Johnson sealed an classy 3-1 win in Kuala Lumpur.
Aguero was quite brilliant at times and scored one stunning goal before laying on two more in a display that suggests he, and the rest of the team, are closing towards peak fitness and form at exactly the right time.
On a summer tour where the football has got better with each game, the Blues will head home having won an army of new fans in this part of the world, playing a brand of football worthy of Premier League champions.
Already down to the bare bones of his tour squad, Roberto Mancini was also without his captain Vincent Kompany for the clash against a Malaysian XI at the Bukit Jalil Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
The team had already had a taste of the noise and colour that the Malaysian supporters provide, but while the open training session the previous evening had been noisy with just a few thousand in attendance, the deafening din of almost 40,000 that greeted the players as they came out with live long in the memory.
Klaxons, horns, kazoos – you name it – if it made noise it was here and unlike China where a few hundred City fans were comfortably outnumbered by Chinese Arsenal fans, there were City shirts everywhere on this occasion.
The locals, it appear, are not only crazy about the Premier League – they seem to have adopted the Blues as their team of choice. The songs and chants prove these are not just fly-by-night supporters – tonight, Malaysia was blue.
As with most games on City's summer tour, the weather was hot and sticky and in truth, the pitch was not in the greatest of condition. But then, the Blues rarely had to shift out of first gear against a side who were unfortunate to lose 2-1 to Arsenal less than a week ago.
So with Kompany on his way home, Nir Biton was the only other absentee from the side that started against Arsenal in Beijing – in their places came Denis Suarez and Adam Johnson as Mancini kept faith with the 3-5-2 deployment against the Gunners.
Yaya Toure took the captain's armband for the first time as the Blues looked to end their Far East trip in style.
Barely three minutes in, however, Costel Pantilimon raced out of his box to collect the ball and was a shade lucky tot to see a card of some colour as he stood a good yard outside his area with still holding the ball!
He saved the resulting free-kick well down to his left and two minutes later, Sergio Aguero's goal was disallowed for offside. Two minutes later and Aguero's rocket shot struck the bar after Tevez had rounded the keeper -quite a start!
City continued to knock on the door and on 17 minutes, it finally opened with a quite brilliant goal from Aguero that his father-in-law would be particularly proud of.
Picking the ball up on the edge of the box he danced past four tackles before finishing with a sublime chip over Marlias to spark a mini-Poznan in the stands and give the Blues a richly deserved lead.
City were denied what appeared to be a stonewall penalty on the half-hour when Aleks Kolarov was felled just as he was about to double the advantage – but perhaps the thought of sending a home player off, as he surely would have had to, was too much to stomach for referee Yaacob!
As it was, Malaysia stood firm until three minutes after half-time when a threaded ball from Aguero put in Tevez who held off his marker to hit a low left--foot drive past the keeper. With the proverbial floodgates swung open, Aguero again was the provider just four minutes later with a sumptuous lob finding Johnson who wrong-footed the keeper with smart finish from eight yards - game, set and match.
The hosts sent the sizeable crowd crazy with a late consoltaion from Akil making it 3-1, but this victory was the perfect way to end a successful tour, both on and off the pitch.
Booked: Tevez (City), Robbat (Malaysia)
CITY: Pantilimon, Zabaleta, Savic, K Toure (Boyata 76), Kolarov, Razak (Evans 67), Y Toure (c) (Scapuzzi 58), Suarez, Aguero (Lopes 70), Tevez (F Mancini 76), A Johnson
UNUSED SUBS: Johansen
GOALS: Aguero 17, Tevez 48, Johnson 52 for City; Akil 87 for Malaysia

Orange and white flowers draped Ward's casket as mourners flocked to upstate New York for his funeral on Thursday. Mourners also were dressed in orange and white, Ward's racing colors.
Ward was remembered as a happy-go-lucky kid around Boonville, N.Y. Townspeople said he was always polite and respectful.
Mourners heard stories about Ward's talent on the racetrack. He had a bright future ahead, family and friends told the grieving audience. They did not want Ward to be remembered as an accident victim, but as a young man who embraced life and lived it to its fullest.
On Saturday night at Canandaigua Motorsports Park, Ward was killed when he tried to confront Stewart on the track after Stewart sent Ward's winged car into the wall. Ward was fatally struck by the right rear tire of Stewart's car.
As of Thursday, Stewart had remained silent and no charges had been filed.
Ontario County sheriff Philip C. Povero issued a statement Tuesday setting expectations for a two-week investigation, including a recreation of the fatal crash. Povero said there are no facts to support a criminal charge at this time.
The sheriff's words provide little consolation to Ward's father, who clearly places the blame for his son's death on Stewart.
"The one person that knows what happened that night is possibly facing 10 years in prison," Kevin Ward Sr. said earlier this week. "Is he going to say what he done?"
One of Stewart's NASCAR rivals has come to his defense.
"Tony Stewart is a great person," Kevin Harvick told Sports Illustrated. "I know in my heart he would never do anything like that on purpose. We just have to let it all play out. I do know that Tony is a great friend of mine; I've known him a long time, and he probably has the biggest heart of anybody in that garage."
He has not announced plans for this week, when the Sprint Cup comes to Michigan International Speedway.
Stewart is on the entry list for Sunday's race. He withdrew from a sprint-car race Saturday at Plymouth Speedway in Indiana, according to the track.
"It is still an emotional time for all involved, Tony included," team representative Mike Arning said. "He is grieving, and grief doesn't have a timetable."
