Silverton's 118th rodeo begins Wednesday, and it promises to be far different from anything that preceded it.
Silverton Buck Wild Days Rodeo
Wednesday: Steer roping, 9 a.m.
Thursday: Mutton bustin', 6 p.m. PRCA events, 7:30 p.m. The band ''No Dry County'' performs after the evening rodeo events.
Friday: Mutton bustin', 6 p.m. PRCA events, 7:30 p.m. The band ''Jake Hooker and The Outsiders'' performs after the evening rodeo events.
Saturday: Mutton bustin', 6 p.m. PRCA events, 7:30 p.m. The band ''Jake Hooker and the Outsiders'' performs after the evening rodeo events.
Tickets: $10 for rodeo and $10 for concert. Children under 10 are $5 for rodeo, $5 for concert. Wednesday's events are free.
Renamed the Silverton Buck Wild Days Rodeo, the event will be sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association for the first time.
That will make Silverton, which had a population of 611 last year according to city-data.com, the smallest town in Texas to host a PRCA rodeo when steer roping begins at 9 a.m. in Wood Memorial Arena.
"We just wanted to make it a better rodeo," Silverton Rodeo Committee president Ken Wood said.
"Probably 80 percent of our contestants over the past three years were already PRCA cowboys."
The rodeo was a Texas Cowboy Rodeo Association event.
What was known then as the Briscoe County Rodeo was named the TCRA's Rodeo of the Year in 2007 and 2008, and earned the association's Richest Rodeo Award last year.
The committee voted almost immediately after last year's successful rodeo to take the leap up to the sport's top level, according to committee vice-president Byron Brock.
"Last year at the end of our rodeo, we voted that we were going to try and do it," Brock said.
"We just wanted to have a pro rodeo in Silverton. Being able to do it is all due to the sponsorship and support that we have here."
Former National Finals Rodeo bareback champion Will Lowe of Canyon is expected to compete Saturday night. And seven-time PRCA all-around champion Trevor Brazile, an Amarillo native, is also expected to be in Silverton, Wood said.
There will also be country music concerts following the evening performances Thursday through Saturday, as well as performances from motorcycle stunt rider Wild Child.
Wild Child, a top PRCA show, was brought to Silverton with the help of stock contractor Carr Pro Rodeo Co.
Carr Pro Rodeo, owned by Pete Carr, has been producing some of the top-scoring roughstock in the rodeo business.
Carr's Up In the Air was named the top Texas Circuit bull in 2008. The animal was raised in Morse - about 120 miles north of Silverton - and is expected to be at the rodeo.
The Silverton Rodeo Committee also agreed to put up $3,000 added money for each event winner, including both ends of the team-roping event, Wood said, up from $2,500 last year.
Wood and Brock said they hope the superior stock, added money and flashier show will bring in the rodeo's biggest crowd.
Wood said some of the rodeo's proceeds will go to fire departments and EMS units in the area, as well as scholarships for Silverton and Valley high school seniors.
Wood hopes making the jump to the PRCA will help make their community contributions larger than in the past.
"It's a good community event," Wood said. "We do a lot of things in the community with the proceeds. We'd like to do more."

Whats gone wrong
Posted 27 May 2013 - 06:45 AM
Posted 27 May 2013 - 07:51 AM
If that's the case Abu what's the point of having two head coaches??
Think you will find that Craig Barker does nearly all the coaching at derwent park ?
I don't think anything has gone wrong, we are in a scrap for survival in this league and while we think we should be winning these games the opposition will target them as winnable games too. A bit of better game management 3 points would have been in the bag and nobody would be over reacting. On our last play we are in their 20 and we don't kick the ball dead. They then make yards off the return and get a repeat set and then score on the hooter to win the game. If the ball goes dead we kill as much time as possible, set our defence and the game is ours. Just a stupid play and the injuries IMO was the difference between the teams. Having said that if Forber had kicked at goal as well as Sanderson it would have been at least a draw, also our line speed was poor and we allowed Cooke to play in space yet again. They ran the same diagonal play over and over and it caused us all sorts of problems.
But we have lots of injuries and miss the players who are out and losing Hulme yesterday caused problems with only forwards on the bench.
I'm sure the lads will sort it out for Thursday.
Posted 27 May 2013 - 11:01 AM
Posted 27 May 2013 - 11:05 AM
The shape of the team was all wrong , some by choice and some bad luck.
Forber played well last week but all his deficiencies were shown up yesterday, Lupton at 13 didn't work cos he's our most creative player but wasn't in the game at all and with Connor and Morris out we had Hulme in who got injured in the first 5 minutes and we've seen before that great player that Olstrum is no way is he a centre, it's a specialist position especially in defence.
Cooke did us again, a couple of things he does every time makes the difference.
Posted 27 May 2013 - 11:08 AM
hulme got injured very early and looked a bad one ankle ligaments i heard. lawton played most of the game and got a good try through good support play finishing a move off
How long did Hulme and Lawton play?Hope Hulme is ok as Ashame if injured.I agree about Lawton he needs more aggression but I hope after time will develop this attribute.

exactly, i think there was only davidm who said go back to lupton. you have to play your in form players and against hunslet forber was really good. we need lupton to control our game and from 13 he cant do that.what i dont think many of us didnt take into consideration was the weakened side that hunslet put out.
To be fair most of us clamoured for Forber to keep his place him and Callum worked well against Hunslet but Doncaster offered a different challenge and we probably needed Lupton at 6 but hindsight a a wonderful thing

Not much I'm afraid, Widnes as of yesterday (out of a squad of 30) had 8 players unavailable due to either injury, suspension or loan deal. Of the players available (excluding the 17 needed for their own game), Lawton was the only forward, plus Declan Hulme (now injured), Shaun Briscoe (FB), Danny Craven (FB/SO) and Grant Gore (SO/SH). I can't see them loaning any other player(s) for our thursday night game, with their own important match against Catalan due in only three days time. Lets hope that some of the Widnes injured players are available for Sunday or it may be (to ensure a fit group of nineteen) that only two players will be available for DR (on Thursday), and possibly not the only spare forward.
With a short turn around and coming off a pretty poor and tired performance , would they really shake them up and go big on DR on Thursday to pull back this result ?

Gutted for the lad and with his first start as a centre too.At the moment we have a terrible amount of injuries and also Hock suspended.
Posted 27 May 2013 - 08:02 PM
Hope he hangs around he's only getting better , gives real starch to a defence doesn't he ?

exactly, i for one dont want charlo and oggy to leave but getting someone to help is never a bad idea and im sure they have a good relationship with paul working with him for cumbria and a lot of the players will know him.
just remember how bad you were under rotherham, charlo oggy and barker done a great job
Posted 28 May 2013 - 12:27 PM
What happend today we should be beaten teams around us at home like
Nothings gone wrong Fester, we just lost a game to a team who were a bit better than us on the day, let's stop all this doom and gloom, we haven't become a bad team overnight.

Bali and surroundings of Villa Baruna
Bali is one of the most touristic islands in Indonesia and has much to offer. Beautiful sunsets, beautiful rice fields and friendly people makes Bali a perfect holiday destination.
North Bali
Villa Baruna is located in the North of Bali near Lovina in Dencarik. There is less tourism than in the south of Bali. Lovina is a famous village with restaurants, cafes, shops, markets and even a bakery: Bakery Buda.
Lovina is famous for its dolphins. Every morning you can go with a boat trip to look at the wild dolphins in the sea. In and around Lovina you can find a rich choice of good restaurants with a delicious national and international cuisine . You can have lunch and dinner in European style at Le Jaenzan and Damai. For Balinese food you can go to Warung Apple.
Do you want to get married in Bali or spend your honeymoon or express your wedding vows again? This is possible at Villa Baruna. Ms. Soetens the Dutch wedding planner has years of experience in planning weddings and ceremonies in Bali. She will arrange everything for you regarding the wedding.
The city Singaraja was once the capital of Bali, and is still the largest city in North Bali. You can still discover several districts where Dutch settlers once lived and worked.
In Singaraja you can do your daily shopping at the big supermarkets Hardy's and Carrefour. The city is about 30 minutes drive from the villa. In Singaraja you also will find department stores, hospitals, pharmacies, banks and markets.
In the center of Singaraja at the beach there is a beautiful Chinese temple Ling Gwan Kiong.
South Bali
Ubud is the cultural center of Bali. The city has a rich history in Balinese painting. Besides the painting there are also other art forms well represented. Around Ubud there are several craft villages and in the center you can find many types of traditional dance performances. Ubud is a paradise if you are looking for wood carvings, paintings, batik, bamboo articles and Balinese art. A visit to Ubud is definitely worth it.
The best beach locations of Bali are Kuta, Legian, Seminyak and Sanur. Here you can surf, do shopping and partying till the morning. It is therefore not surprising that there is more tourism than comparing to the north of Bali.
West Bali
On the coast you can find Menjangan Island. Around this island you can snorkel and dive. The water is clear and the flow is minimal. The coral is beautiful here and you can find all kinds of exotic fish and sea plants.
Menjangan is located near the Bali Barat National Park. This is a park which was founded in 1941 to protect the nature and endangered species of Bali by the Dutch people. You can walks through the mangrove forests and enjoy the swamps, reefs and different animals.
A short distance from Menjangan you can find the village Pemuteran where a turtle rescue center for sea turtles can be found. Near the turtles you will find a pearl farm: Atlas Pearls and Perfumes. Here you can take a look at the nursery and even buy real pearls.

Moscow has some 2 million Muslims but only four mosques. Possibly in response, the king of Saudi Arabia wants to support a new mosque in the heart of Russia. That's fine, the Russians said, but only if they can build an Orthodox Church in the Muslim holy land. Fat chance.
These two proposals have sparked an often intriguing discussion by Russia's Muslims and Christians over the role religion plays in defining the two societies and about the role of law in regulating that, a discussion that could either enrich or complicate the Kremlin's relations with Muslims inside Russia and Muslim states abroad it is currently trying to court.
Julia Duin of the Washington Times writes:
As we all know, the Saudis have a habit of constructing mosques in dozens of world capitals while forbidding houses of worship for any religion whatsoever outside its Wahabist brand of Islam. They've gotten some bad PR locally for some of the hate language in textbooks at the Saudi Academy in northern Virginia. Not only are hapless Christians terrorized and jailed for daring to hold private prayer services in Saudi Arabia, but God help them should they try to convert someone to their religion. And that's for a fellow People of the Book: One can only guess at what the treatment of Buddhists and Hindus must be like.
Wouldn't it be so ironic if the Russians were the first Christian body to win acceptance of the right to build a church in, say, Riyadh? (Some of the Russians are calling for a church in Mecca, but the chances of any other religion getting a foothold within walking distance of the world center of Islam is less than zero.) Of course we all know the Saudis aren't about ready to let Bibles or other religious literature, let alone a church, anywhere near their homeland, but all the same, it's amusing to see the Russians give the Saudis a taste of their own medicine.

Regional electric power demand elasticities of Japan's industrial and commercial sectors
In the assessment and review of regulatory reforms in the electric power market, price elasticity is one of the most important parameters that characterize the market. However, price elasticity has seldom been estimated in Japan; instead, it has been assumed to be as small as 0.1 or 0 without proper examination of the empirical validity of such a priori assumptions. We estimated the regional power demand functions for nine regions, in order to quantify the elasticity, and found the short-run price elasticity to be 0.09-0.30 and the long-run price elasticity to be 0.12-0.56. Inter-regional comparison of our estimation results suggests that price elasticity in rural regions is larger than that in urban regions. Popular assumptions of small elasticity of 0.1, for example, could be suitable for examining Japan's aggregate power demand but not power demand functions that focus on respective regions. Furthermore, assumptions about smaller elasticity values such as 0.01 and 0 could not be supported statistically by this study.

I have a freezer full of spinach thanks to my vegetable garden this year. I've already used a lot of it to make Spinach Pesto, I've been using it a little here and there in my other usual meals too but I wanted to make something new with it.
So I crack open my copy of The Flavor Bible (which was a gift from my husband and is wonderful by the way) to have a look and see what kind of flavours go with spinach. Usually when I check in there I find that somewhere in my head I already knew the things that taste good with one another, but it helps me to feel more confident about putting flavors together. After a few minutes looking up different things, matching and cross-checking I normally have an idea for a meal.
We've been eating a whole lot of pasta again, as we usually do when it's hot outside. I try to keep salad greens on hand but I'm generally thwarted by my 8 year old refrigerator, it has been used and abused by who knows how many occupants of this rental apartment and doesn't really do a great job at what it's supposed to do. So for us, pasta is easier for summer. It's light and I don't generally have to have the stove on for too long to cook it, which is an issue in the summer when you don't have air conditioning and it's 89F (32C) and humid outside.
Fresh Pasta
Recipe very slightly modified from the back of a package of Bob's Red Mill Semolina Flour
Combine 1 cup unbleached all purpose flour with 1/2 cup semolina flour and 1/2 tsp salt. Add 2 beaten eggs, 2 tbsp water, 2 tbsp olive oil and mix to make a stiff dough.
Knead for 10 minutes or until dough is elastic, then wrap dough in a towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.
On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to the desired thickness and cut as desired.*
*Note: I rolled mine by hand and had trouble getting it thin enough, it's very labor intensive to do by hand but can still work.
Spinach, Mushroom & Mustard Sauce
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Cook the pasta, fresh will take less time to cook than dried so be careful to not overcook.
Lightly saute 2 minced cloves of garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil until fragrant. Add 2 – 3 cups of roughly torn brown mushrooms and 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper and saute together for a few minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown. Add 2 cups of spinach to the mushroom-garlic mixture and lower the heat.
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup creme fraiche and 1tbsp whole grain dijon mustard. Add the sauce to the saute pan and mix everything together.
Turn off the heat and add the cooked, drained pasta to the mixture. Stir so that the sauce coats the pasta and serve with freshly grated Parmesan.

SongBuddy lets your friends point you to the good stuff.
So get on SongBuddy, get your Catalog going and get the word out!
(Thanks to all the friends who helped test it out and offered suggestions and reminded me that I had to still keep building it. And thanks to David for the design I butchered for the site.)
For the geekier among you, here are some tech specs:
The site is running on the LogiCreate PHP application framework. As I wrote before, it's a breeze to program for. You'd do well to check it out and figure out how to make a module.
The site supports some pretty nifty things, like RSS for keeping up with your buddies' songs. It also exports your user profile and Catalog in FOAF format. I'm working on reading external FOAFs, once that is going you'll never need to add your friends once the next social site flavor of the week comes along. Hooray for open formats!
Speaking of open formats, to play the music the site generates an m3u file which lists the URLs for the songs in the Catalog or Buddies List that you want to listen to. Your media player will take care of the rest. iTunes for Mac users might want to read "How can I get iTunes to create a new playlist when I click Play""
All the data on the site is licensed under the Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 Creative Commons license so if you think you can do something cool with the data, I'd love to hear about it.

Nice. I'd heard for years from many people that someone should put together something like this, but this is the first time I've seen it implimented.
Oh, btw there is a an issue in IE 6.0 with the header background image. I tried saving a copy of it on my local machine, and fooling around with it, but I couldn't get it to show up. Perhaps it's either the relative path, or IE doesn't like to to do background images using GIFs? Anyways, if it's still after work I'll see if I can find a fix, as long as that's alright.Posted by: Jessica Breckenridge at January 26, 2004 10:13 AM
Yeah, I just saw it on IE 6 and saw the break. I was surprised it hadn't been mentioned, but then I looked at my stats and only 6% of users were using IE which means I run with a pretty geeky crowd :)Posted by: George at January 26, 2004 10:24 AM

Taking Bulgaria by the Horns
Bulgaria: a neighbor of Turkey to the west and chock-full of interesting churches. This was key territory for the Orthodox Church as well as for the Ottoman Empire. We had a short stay and saw what we could, avoided a near pick-pocketing and sampled a tasty dessert called 'sweet milky banica.' All in a day's work.
We really enjoyed getting acquainted with the Bulgarian Church, particularly for how lively it is. Rila monastery is a buzzing place and painted with every color in the palette. And yet many churches also have a more calming energy than you might find in other Orthodox traditions. The Alexander Nevsky church at the top of the post has muted artwork and iconography inside and its massive dome sort of makes you feel miniature in a satisfying way.
Our time in Bulgaria was too short but better than none at all. We have about two months left on the journey and I hope to keep posting photos as much as I can. We are in Bosnia now and later in the month we will take some time to visit Anna's relatives in Sweden.
One response to "Taking Bulgaria by the Horns"
Ellis Shuman says :
I am glad you enjoyed your visit to Bulgaria! I lived there for two years and your pictures brought back warm memories. Oh, luckily you only had a near pick-pocketing. My wife experienced the real thing.

The weeHouse | A wee For Every Need
Contributing Monkie G Living Staff Monkies
Published on February 24, 2009
Filed Under Architecture / Interior Design, G Living Tags Prefab, Sustainable Architecture
I'm not sure what I like more: the weeHouse website or the weeHouse itself. As far as prefabs go, the weeHouse is similar to the Micro-compact in that it arrives by truck, factory-built and ready to live in, and it can be set down just about anywhere. Even on your roof.
Framed in wood and steel and floored in sustainable bamboo, the house is can be as simple or as complex as you need it to be. From the LiveRight studio apartment-sized to the 2 bedroom SleepTight, the weeHouse was "inspired by sustainable design principles such as building small and efficiently." But unfortunately, that's about as "G" as the wee gets in the base model. If wee want greener materials and systems (solar, a green roof, etc.) wee have to request them.
But that's all good in the weeHood because the wee was made for customization, which is where the über-cool website comes into play. Whether you need a house, a cabin, a playroom or an office, there's a weeHouse for you. And you can peruse them all so long as you have the latest version of Flash installed on your computer. (The site's build and price function is not up and running yet, but it's still fun to scroll through the various floor plans and stacking options.) There are even informative downloads for more serious-about-buying site visitors.
I will definitely be back to look at the 2008 wees. Hopefully by 2009 I'll have my own. And whenever I invite people over, I'll say, "Hey, you want to check out my wee?"

Did not have reliable WiFi for the 3 days, despite moving rooms. Management expected the 1 router in the office to feed WiFi to the entire motel. I could never get the office router to show up as an option in my settings. Office was closed at 10pm and opened at 9am, so when I returned to my motel the first night at 11pm there was no one available for assistance. Management also supplied cable WiFi, but I continued to get a "too many devices message" when trying to connect. This is an old motel, overpriced and over rated. The beds probably cost them $50. The 3 star rating should clearly be 1 star.
We had a great stay at the Ocean View Terrace. We were there over the busy 4th of July weekend. Due to mix up with bookings.com, we had a reservation for two people instead of three (which turned into four people). In response, the owners of ocean view terrace went above and beyond to accommodate all of us, giving us a 2nd room at no additional cost.
The rooms are clean, comfortable, the staff awesome. The private beach and pool were fantastic for a small family gathering. It felt like we had the place to ourselves.
No complaints
Here's why:
We're not the seller.
At KAYAK we don't set the prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We compile tonnes of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we can't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find, on occasion, that certain prices are no longer available.

This past August, I spent two weeks in mainland China, giving keynote addresses with my colleague Nansook Park at two conferences in Beijing, the first hosted by Tsinghua University and the second by Beijing Normal University. These were the first conferences in China devoted to positive psychology.
I have not written any blog entries yet on my experiences in China, perhaps because these were so personally meaningful. I've always said that there are two sorts of experience that matter, those one enjoys in the moment and those one enjoys after-the-fact because one can think and talk about them. My China experiences were so much in the former category that I have resisted placing them in the second category. A life-long dream of mine - starting as a kid growing up in the Midwest of the United States - was to visit China, and it finally happened. Between the conferences, we tried to visit as many places as possible, including the Forbidden City, Tiananmen Square, the Great Wall, and the city of Xi'an to see the Terra Cotta Warriors. And the food was unbelievable, especially the dumplings in Xi'an.
Although I enjoyed very much my sightseeing and my meals, the highlights of my trip all involved my experiences with people. I loved the Chinese people I met! We did not talk politics with anyone - they were after all our hosts - and I am sure we might have disagreed on things. But our hosts were decent, diligent, and gracious ... and funny! That's an important part of what matters, regardless of national policies.
In particular, we met a number of undergraduate and graduate psychology students - mostly female, like in the US - who were bright beyond belief but also kind and gentle and supportive. They did everything possible to make their guests - us - feel comfortable and to insure that we enjoyed our visit. Their helpfulness was genuine and above-and-beyond anything that I have ever experienced. The point is that positive psychology should not simply be an export endeavor. It should also entail import, and those of us in the Western world have much to learn from those elsewhere, including in particular China.
Contributing to my enjoyment of my China experience was the fact that I am a tall (6'3") and big (i.e., fat) American who provided a frequent photo op for the citizens there. Apparently the Chinese love taking pictures, and I lost count of how many times I had my picture taken at the conferences as well as on the street by random folks. I guess I looked different - exotic? - to the typical Chinese resident. Cool. I have never been exotic in my entire life.
During my visit to the Great Wall, I took a break and rested while the rest of my party forged ahead. But my time was not idle, because numerous Chinese visitors approached me and asked if they could take a picture of me, invariably with their child. My self-esteem is just fine, thank you, but I never thought I was among the seven wonders of the world! But I happily complied.
Children often followed me around. We laughed and smiled, even if we could not otherwise communicate. All children are cute, and the Chinese children who followed me around melted my heart.
One of my favorite encounters was with a boy - maybe eight years old - in Xi'an who boldly walked up to me and craned his neck. He said "hello" tonally, pronouncing it like the Mandarin nee-how (hello). I said hello back.
He then told my host something that she did not want to translate, but I insisted. Apparently he said, "I'm glad I'm not an American."
I asked why, which was dutifully translated by my uncomfortable host.
He replied, "If I were an American, then I would have to speak English, and I do not speak English very well."
It was a Piagetian moment beyond precious. My host tried to explain to him that if he were American, he would indeed speak English. I interrupted her, saying (to her) that counter-factual reasoning was not where he was at. I simply bumped fists with the little boy, and we both smiled. I had made a friend for life.
Anyway, I have decided that it might be of interest to you readers to share some of my impressions of China vis-à-vis positive psychology.
First, there was great interest in the perspective of positive psychology. With the increasing affluence of China, there is worry about the negative impact of wealth on the mental health and well-being of its people due to materialism and conflicts with traditional values. There is a special concern about the younger generation. They are not only are part of a global culture but also subject to huge pressures for success. These pressures are exacerbated by the "one child policy" because family expectations necessarily focus on that one child. We were told by numerous young people that they grew up lonely and stressed.
We originally thought that we should use euphemisms for happiness in speaking to our hosts, lest we be dismissed as shallow hedonists. But no worries. The Chinese want their people, and especially their children, to be happy. Then their problems might be minimized. I agree, but the Chinese openness to happiness theory and research was nonetheless surprising. There are of course cultural differences in what constitutes legitimate happiness, but it is also obvious that happiness is a universal desire.
Second, China is big - really big, not just geographically but population-wise - and highly centralized. Something I learned that I still have trouble wrapping my head around is that since 1949, China has had only one time zone, as opposed to the five time zones it would warrant anywhere else in the world. The point is that if and when China decides to implement ideas and interventions from positive psychology, the scale of so doing would be mind-boggling. The conference at Beijing Normal University, on positive psychology and education, was attended by educators collectively responsible for almost 300 million students in primary and secondary schools.
Third, China is different from Western nations and especially the United States in terms of important cultural values with implications for the reception of positive psychology. China is not only a highly collectivist culture but also one that takes a very long time perspective on things. We often heard mention of the "seven generation" view, which means that the Chinese take into account the consequences of policies for at least seven future generations. Positive psychologists in the United States often focus on the individual and short-term benefits of attention to happiness and well-being. A rationale framed in these terms would miss the boat in China. Instead, emphasis should be on the benefits of positive psychology for the group and for future generations.
It has been said that there are very few differences among people. It has also been said that those differences that do exist are very important. My China visit underscored both of these truisms.
Seeing is believing. If you can, visit and experience a different part of the world, especially the people who live there. They will change you, and you in turn will change them.
We can only hope for the better in both cases.

To mark the first anniversary of the Hubble Heritage Project, we present four NASA Hubble Space Telescope images of nebulae surrounding stars in our own Milky Way galaxy. Two of these Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 images (Herbig Haro 32 and Hubble's Variable Nebula) show interstellar gas and dust around young stars at the beginning of their lives, and two more (NGC 2346 and NGC 2440) show gas ejected from old stars that are nearing the end of theirs. Remarkably, in spite of the completely different evolutionary stages, the nebulae have more striking features in common, including evidence of diametrically opposed gas ejections from both the young and old stars.

LITTLE ROCK, AR -- Rising temperatures can cause a rise in health problems.
Today was one of the hottest days of 2014.
But the hot weather didn't stop people from enjoying the outdoors.
With higher temperatures, local EMT's see a higher volume of calls.
MEMS Paramedic Mac Hutchinson says days like these can easily send people to the hospital.
"Know the signs and symptoms. If you start feeling dizzy, you may have muscle cramps go out of the heat. The best treatment for you is to get out of the heat," Hutchinson said.
MEMs also reminds you to stay hydrated. They recommend drinking 2 to 4 glasses of water each hour if you're out in the heat.

How 'Telecopter' creator changed the way we see news
John Silva — free-press icon? Well, maybe not quite. But the creator of the first news helicopter, the "Telecopter," did change the way news is reported.
The New York Times reported recently that Silva, whose invention debuted in 1958 for Los Angeles TV station KTLA, died Nov. 27 at age 92. His legacy would have to include helping to reshape the identity of our modern free press, both in how it reports the news and in the public's expectations of how news is presented.
Silva refitted a two-seat Bell 47G2 helicopter — a civilian version of the bubble-canopy chopper used in the "M*A*S*H" television series — with a camera adapted to the jittery aircraft, and an antenna could send a consistent signal back to the station.
That gave the news an eye in the sky. At first, Telecopter reporters focused on the L.A. freeways. But KTLA and other stations' news choppers came to provide news and images from events as diverse as the 1994 O.J. Simpson "white Bronco" police chase, brush fires, urban riots and natural disasters.
Silva later earned two Emmy Awards for his pioneering engineering work. But the impact of his work was far from just technical.
Images of street riots in 1965 that wracked the Watts area and incidents such as the Rodney King beating in 1992 that sparked additional urban violence were available live and unfiltered from a bird's-eye view. Ultimately broadcasters adopted self-imposed ethical guidelines to guard against prompting the news even as they reported it — out of a concern that some rioters might be encouraged by the cameras.
Similarly, an on-air suicide inadvertently shown live via airborne coverage led most TV stations either to put such news reports from the scene on time-delay or ban them — though those rules don't always apply.
On Sept. 28, an Arizona carjacker who shot at police and at a news helicopter, later stopped, got out of his car and shot himself — and all aired live on Fox News Channel. Anchor Shepard Smith apologized, saying the video was on a five-second delay but the network failed to cut the video feed in time.
Then there are the car chases tracked endlessly from the air – not necessarily newsworthy, though they may appear to be. They make for good television, to the extent that TV series based on car vs. car are a staple of "reality" cable programming.
Journalists aloft have not always been welcomed by officials on the ground. Safety concerns have always limited the extent of aerial news reporting, but during last year's Occupy Wall Street demonstrations, New York City police were accused of expanding a no-fly zone to exclude news helicopters from taking video of the police clearing public spaces of protesters.
News consumers' appetites were dramatically whetted beginning in 1958, and have been conditioned ever since to expect the on-the-spot, immediate and "all-seeing" news coverage made possible by Silva's new news tool. The Telecopter was the precursor of the 24/7, always on and available cable TV and Internet-based news culture.
Newsgathering is protected by the First Amendment as surely as is publishing — one without the other prevents a "free press" from operating freely. But the immediacy and rawness of live video inevitably will produce images we would sometimes rather not see, and news that officials sometimes would rather not be gathered.
Thus far, how and when we get news from the Telecopter's progeny is fairly well regulated by the court of public opinion, rather than courts of law or legislative hallways. It's a First Amendment-friendly approach.
Such is the legacy of John Silva, whose technical wisdom changed the way we see the news — and whose vision, at times, made it even more controversial.

Sum of the Parts repeats in Phoenix
The Tom Amoss-trained Sum of the Parts, who became the first horse since 1963 to win undivided runnings of the Phoenix in back-to-back years, paid $27.20 after completing the race in 1:09 2/5.
The history of the Phoenix, the oldest stakes run in North America, can be traced to 1831. Restricted to three-year-olds in the nineteenth century, the Phoenix has been won in back-to-back years by Mount Marcy (1950-51), Sea O Erin (1955-56), and Editorialist (1962-63) since the race was open to older horses. Honey Jay (1972-73) and Zuppardo's Prince (1980-81) also won in consecutive years, but in each case won at least one divided renewal.
Finishing fourth, a half-length behind Go Blue Or Go Home, was 2-1 favorite Gentlemen's Bet. Completing the order of finish were Occasional View, Marchman, Laurie's Rocket, Reload, Hoofit, Winning Cause, Ghost Is Clear, and Jasizzle. Global Power, Hogy, and the also-eligible Console were scratched.
Owned by Klaravich Stable and William Lawrence, Sum of the Parts also scored stakes wins in the Red Legend at Charles Town and the Tom Ridge at Presque Isle Downs, both in 2012. He's now earned $716,543 from a line of 15-6-2-0, and will likely be pointed for the November 2 Breeders' Cup Sprint at Santa Anita, a race he finished fourth in last year.
"I have to talk to the owners about that, but if it's my vote and my vote alone, it's on to California," Amoss said.
"I made a grave error with him last spring: I brought him back too quick and tried to do too much with him before I ran him, and it cost me," said Amoss, referring to the colt's three early-season losses. "That's how training goes. When you make those kinds of mistakes, you're going to have to sit and wait, which is what we did and he came back really good this spring. I told the group I was with, 'This the most athletic horse I've trained. He's the quickest horse I've ever trained out of the gate.' He really showed that today. All the credit goes to the horse."
Bred in Kentucky by Farfellow Farms, Sum of the Parts brought $75,000 as a Fasig-Tipton Kentucky July yearling before selling for $150,000 as a Barretts March two-year-old in training. He is out of the Grade 2-winning Slew's Royalty mare Enjoy the Moment, who closed out her career with a third-place run in the Grade 1 Santa Monica Handicap in 2000. He is the first stakes winner from the mare, who is a full sister to stakes victress Miss Inn Zone, herself the dam of Grade 3-placed stakes hero Zoning In.

Phillip would fit in well about now. His father needs some help.

|But isn't it out there that they were casting for Eric anyway? Also, I would think Meng's not just talking about character, but a beloved actor/character. I will be very surprised if Kristen/Susan, played by ED, aren't soon back on Days.

|I don't think he is talking about the Eric re-cast. I only say that because IMO it would only be "big news" if it was Jensen Ackles in the role. Given this whole thing with EJ's paternity... I am guessing ED.
|Jun 24 2012, 10:52 PM Post #91

If anyone has any recommendations I'd be most appreciative.

DocuClub in February!
Our next DocuClub screening will take place on Thursday, February 23, at 7p.m., at DCTV, located at 87 Lafayette (at Walker).
This month, we will screen a rough cut of "Miracle on 42nd Street" by Alice Elliot. The film documents the unique apartment complex called Manhattan Plaza located in Manhattan's historic theatre district, a neighborhood also known as Hell's Kitchen. Located on the block between 42nd and 43rd Streets, it is often called the "Miracle on 42nd Street†due to the near-miraculous effect the complex has had on the once-blighted neighborhood and on the lives of its residents. Seventy percent of the occupants work in the performing arts and thirty percent are Hell's Kitchen residents who are elderly, disabled or have been relocated from substandard housing. The film tells the story of how this innovative affordable housing experiment came to be, the artists it has nurtured, the close community its residents and management have created and the positive impact it has had on the economy of Manhattan's West Side. By making this film, the filmmakers want to tell the story of the pioneering people, community leaders, government and business people who joined together to resurrect a blighted neighborhood. To watch a trailer of the film, please go to: http://miracleon42ndstreet.org/home.
Director Alice Elliott is an Academy Award-nominated documentary filmmaker whose films are dedicated to celebrating the role of community activism in elevating the quality of people's lives.
Producer Mary Jo Slater was an original tenant of Manhattan Plaza. As a working single mother, she was able to launch a successful career as an award-winning casting director while also supporting the career of her son, actor Christian Slater.
Producer Nancy Perkins lived in Manhattan Plaza in the 1980s along with her actor husband, Ron Perkins, where she began a successful career in casting, rising to become head of casting at Universal Television Studios for fourteen years.
Editor/Producer Lisa Shreve has lived in Manhattan Plaza since the building opened and resides there today, working as an editor of award-winning documentary and narrative films.
Producer Erika Lockridge of Bahr Productions has joined on as a producer because of her belief in the Manhattan Plaza concept of affordable housing.
Producer Cindy Cowan is currently producing the feature "Red Lights" (starring Robert DeNiro).
Our moderator will be Caitlin Boyle. A leading champion of grassroots and community distribution for independent films, Boyle is the architect of national screening and audience outreach initiatives for dozens of feature documentaries, including "King Corn," "Pray the Devil Back to Hell," "The End of the Line," "A Small Act" and "Bag It." Previously on staff at NPR affiliates WFIU and WFUV and PBS affiliate Thirteen/WNET, she is a graduate of Columbia University and the Indiana University Graduate School of Journalism. Her workshops and presentations have rallied filmmakers at SXSW, Hot Docs, Independent Film Week, Sheffield Doc/Fest, the Los Angeles Film Festival, and The New York Foundation for the Arts. She serves on the board of Brooklyn documentary arts center UnionDocs, and on the advisory board of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts Research Institute for the Advancement of Cinema Arts and Commerce. To learn more about her film services, visit: www.filmsprout.org.
If you're planning to attend, please RSVP to email@example.com.
Admission at DCTV is free for current DocuClub members and $6 for non-members.
Tickets will be sold at the door, cash only.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. No admittance after 7:15 p.m.

Hello filmmakers! My nonprofit is launching a new short (very short... 5 min. and less) film competition on the topic of mental health. The winning film will be used in our education, advocacy and field-building work on college campuses and nonprofits around the U.S., plus win $1,000 award for future work.
I hope some of you will consider putting something together for this. The quality of the work will really determine the caliber of nonprofit partners we can attract, and I know we've got some heavyweights on this list! We already have some pretty major players (national NGOs) interested in using the films in their work – assuming it's well done. In many ways this is about using your film to create positive change through dialogue.
If you have comments, or questions, please get in touch: cary [at] artwithimpact.org and more info is on our website: artwithimpact.org

Washington DC-area folks, Docs In Progress has two programs this week:
Thursday, February 9 from 8:00 pm – 10:00 pm at the Takoma Park Community Center (7500 Maple Avenue in Takoma Park, MD)
We'll be screening a documentary by one of our alums, Lillie Paquette. WE ARE EGYPT looks at the story behind the story of 2011's Arab Spring. The 85-minute film showcases Egypt's passionate democracy activists who toiled for years before seeing success from their sacrifice. It is an account of their struggle against extraordinary odds to remove an uncompromising authoritarian regime determined to stay in power. Following the screening, filmmaker Lillie Paquette will answer questions about the film. This is a free community screening and no tickets are required. More info at http://docsinprogress.org/events/38/free-alumni-screening-of-we-are-egypt/
Sunday, February 12 from 10:30 am – 12:30 pm at the Goethe Institut (812 Seventh Street, NW Washington DC)
We'll be offering a special Docs In Progress work-in-progress screening at the Our City Film Festival. This is an opportunity to provide feedback on story and character development to a documentary filmmaker presenting a not-quite-finished version of a film while you also support the festival's sponsor Yachad, a nonprofit dedicated to affordable housing and community development in Washington DC. The rough cut being screened is Ellie Walton's FLY BY LIGHT which follows a group of DC high school students as they go through a transformational journey in the mountains of West Virginia. Tickets are $10 and can be ordered through Our City Film Festival's website
We'll also be at the Center for Social Media's Media That Matters Conference on Friday and Saturday and hope to see many of you there.

Hey Everybody! My name is Kevin Hallagan. I am a cinema student but my goal is to become a documentary filmmaker. Do you know of any Independent documentary filmmakers who are looking for an assistant this summer or wouldn't mind having a shadow? I have earned a lot academically and I am a videographer for my university, but I am looking for some in-field experience this summer because I know I haven't learned a lot of things I'll need to know if I'm going to dive into filmmaking right out of college.
so... is anyone looking for some helping hands?
Thanks everybody!
Good luck on your endeavors
– Kevin Hallagan

The 2012 Independent Pilot Competition
Fri 10 Feb 2012
Regarding the ad above, I"m curios as to what other people think about this. Although it does seem like an interesting contest, from what I can tell after reading their rules/regulations, it appears that basically by entering the contest you are forfeiting any right to your concept and material and that A&E can basically take whatever they want and don't owe you anything for it. So by doing this contest, they potentially get the rights to thousands of concepts and only have to pay $10,000 to a winner who will be able to "participate" in the production of a pilot but also, from what I can tell, will actually not have any right to their concept.
Fri 10 Feb 2012
There are many "contests" like this, Greg. Many people still submit.
Fri 10 Feb 2012
Also, when one submits cold to Discovery, for instance, you basically have to sign something similar before anyone will look at your stuff. From their point of view, they get thousands of submissions, many for ideas that look pretty similar to each other, and would rather be protected from what they see as reasonable-looking, but actually not, stolen ideas. Particularly if the submitted does not have an industry track record.

IDA's DocuDay is almost here. An all-day orgy of documentary deliciousness featuring back to back screenings of all the nominated shorts and features. Happening in LA and NY.

Story Consultant needed – After working on my political documentary for 4 years, I realize that I need someone experienced with fresh eyes who help shape what I've put together into an exciting must watch documentary. Since this is a political documentary, the subject matter won't be for everyone, as I'm telling a story, not pushing an agenda.
Pay would be in some combination of salary and equity. This is an independent film, however, so keep that in mind. DBLasdon AT ca.rr dot com

On Monday night in LA, I'll be moderating a special International Documentary Association Doc U dedicated to the pursuit of the little golden man, and how the Academy's new Oscar rules might change that lovequest in the coming year.

I plan to ask a lot of questions :)

Sounds good. Is there a D-Word promotional code? IF not, no probs!

Nope. But $15 if you're an IDA member. You ARE an IDA member, right Jill? Not that I'll fight with you over it, but ya know...

(Published Feb. 12, 2007, 10:38 a.m.)
The Spirit Shop, 171 W. Main St., Whitewater, is not only helping bring business to Main Street, but it is also providing student entrepreneurs with valuable experience in management, marketing, accounting, human resources and sales.
On June 1, 2006, the Spirit Shop, with the help of the UW-Whitewater Collegiate Entrepreneurs' Organization (CEO), opened its doors with the hopes of bridging the gap between the community and university.
"We are a one-stop shop for local community members, tourists, students' parents and alumni," said Derek Henze, president of CEO in a news release. The store is open 4-7 p.m. Thursday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturdays and 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Sundays. With opposite hours of the UW-Whitewater Bookstore, the Spirit Shop hopes to bring more students, parents and tourists downtown.
Great strides have been taken by the CEO to promote the Spirit Shop and other downtown businesses. The Spirit Shop has a contract with the University Bookstore to provide customers with UW-Whitewater apparel. The store employees also have the opportunity to work closely with the Whitewater Area Chamber of Commerce. With the chamber closed on the weekends, the Spirit Shop provides customers with information on the city of Whitewater. Customers can also purchase a Whitewater quilt at the store. Other businesses the Spirit Shop has worked with include the Double Dip Deli and Dapper Dogs.
Board members of CEO operate all aspects of the store. "Working at the Spirit Shop has given me the opportunity to go through every aspect of a business," said Tiffany Dawson, vice president of community involvement for CEO. "I can see myself starting a business from this experience.
"The Spirit Shop is a growing business," Henze added. Since June, the store has seen a 2,000 percent increase in sales. All profits go back to the student organization.
"The Collegiate Entrepreneur's Organization and Spirit Shop has taught me to think big," Henze said. "I can accomplish great things because of my experiences."
CEO invites any student seeking entrepreneurship experience to volunteer at the store or join the organization.
