I did already send this message out to a few local players already but here it is again just in case:
I'm new to cedar rapids iowa and would like to get lit up with some woodsball. i'm totally new to paintball, but, i do have 2 years experience in creating next gen ground solder systems for the US Army, so i know a bit about tactics. Also, I lived in L.A. for 18 years..... so I know a bit about hitting the floor and missing bullets.
I'm 33. Married with a few kids. Need to stop the FPS games and get out and do something that involves adrenaline. Currently in process of getting my X7 phenom SL8 mod and a custom scaled down QCB Tippmann A5 strapped to my chest. I'm hoping to find some guys i could go with in a group before I dump my hard earned cash into guns and stuff. It looks hella fun.

First of all, I really like this song. There have been some varying opinions as to how good it is and as mentioned in other threads I think this one had previously suffered from high expectations. While I still think the chorus could have been more powerful, it has definitely grown on me with each listen. There is a lot of musical depth, even more than I realized at first.
This song would have fit beautifully as one of the best on Chaos and is everything "How Kind of You" and "From a Lover to a Friend" wanted to be.
I think long after the initial excitement of New wears off, this ends up in my top 3. Really enjoying this

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov met in Geneva, Switzerland, September 12-14, to discuss matters concerning Syria, including the use of chemical weapons and steps to address these developments.
Taking into account the decision of the Syrian Arab Republic to accede to the Chemical Weapons Convention and the commitment of the Syrian authorities to provisionally apply the Convention prior to its entry into force, the United States and the Russian Federation expressed their joint determination to ensure the destruction of the Syrian chemical weapons program (CW) in the soonest and safest manner. In furtherance of the objective to eliminate the Syrian chemical weapons program, the United States and the Russian Federation have reached a shared assessment of the amount and type of chemical weapons involved, and are committed to the immediate international control over chemical weapons and their components in Syria. You can read more about these efforts in the Framework for the Elimination of Syrian Chemical Weapons.
Following his meeting with Foreign Minister Lavrov, Secretary Kerry said, "...Diplomacy requires willing partners. And I want to thank President Putin for his willingness to pick up on the possibility of negotiating an end to Syrian weapons of mass destruction. His willingness to embrace ideas for how to accomplish this goal, and his willingness to send Foreign Minister Lavrov here to pursue this effort was essential to getting to this point. And I want to thank Sergey Lavrov for his diligent efforts and the efforts of his entire delegation, who worked hard and in good faith to overcome difficulties, and even disagreements, in order to try to find a way, through tireless efforts, to get us where we are today."
Secretary Kerry continued, "...I also want to be clear about the endgame here. If we can join together and make this framework a success and eliminate Syria's chemical weapons, we would not only save lives, but we would reduce the threat to the region, and reinforce an international standard, an international norm. We could also lay the groundwork for further cooperation that is essential to end the bloodshed that has consumed Syria for more than two years.
"What we agreed on here today could conceivably be the first critical, concrete step in that direction. The United States and Russia have long agreed that there is no military solution to the conflict in Syria. It has to be political. It has to happen at the negotiating table. And we, together, remain deeply committed to getting there. From the beginning, President Obama has repeated again and again there is no military solution. We must find a political solution through diplomacy."
For more information:
There is still a paradox that needs to be resolved. To disarm Assad's regime of chemical weapons at the same time as arming the regime with conventional weaponry used on his own people is not in keeping with the basis for disarming him of chemical weapons in the first place, if not to save lives being that basis of "taking control" of those weapons.
But it is significant that Russia has taken the iniative to perform as a responsible member of the family of nations for a change.
And that change is what is significant...and sometimes it takes a lot for a government to make a fundemental realization that America is pretty reasonable...but far less so with dictators and their destructive potential.
That it may not be in a nation's national interests to support dictators, or arm them, only to have to go disarm them before rishing becoming complicit in the genocide dictators are want to perpetrate with the weapons sold to them.
Never mind that al-quaida loves a conflict like flies do...-.
And the opposition says "this agreement doesn't concern us."
And a lot of senators are musing that Russia has gained an "upper hand"...I think not.
Russia doesn't do anything that is not implicitly in its own national interests...and supporting Assad was a huge foreign policy mistake they have made, and are just now coming to grips with just how much of a mistake it actually represents to them.
The only way Russia can be worthy of other nation's respect is to lean on Assad's regime so hard that if Assad some how doesn't comply fully with the terms, that America won't have to get kinetic on him.
And since the Russians seem to be able to jerk Assad's puppet strings to do their bidding, it's only logical to assume they can ground his air-force, and silence his artillery, and tell Assad to park his tanks and have his forces return to barracks, or else....they'll remove Assad from power themselves to save us the trouble and them the embarrasment of having us solve their problem-child's malfunction of understanding for them.
I mean that a logicly minded person would have to wonder whether Mr. Putin is more perturbed by Mr. Obama calling for military action , or Assad being in the process of comitting genocide by making total war upon his fellow citizens of Syria?
At this point I can't see Mr. Putin being too pleased with Bashar al-Assad, and the most peaceful way to resolve all this is for the Russians to take Assad with them when they repo all the weapons they've sold to him.
Because if Putin could make that happen, he'll not only have corrected a serious foreign policy blunder in supporting Assad, he'll have earned America's respect...and be in a lot better standing with our government and our representitives. As well as with the rest of the world I suspect.
But if this is all a dog and pony show to keep Assad's freak show alive and well, continuing to conduct its grisly three-ring circus along with Hizbolla and Ayatollah's goon squads...
Mr. Putin will never hear the end of it.

Moab Trail Marathon Makes for a Rough but Rewarding National Championship
USATF Trail National Championships brought runners into the demanding depths of Moab's canyon country
On November 3, in the craggy canyon country of Moab, Utah, the Moab Trail Marathon served as the 2012 USATF Trail Marathon National Championship. The race presented a rugged and unique challenge to an intensely competitive field.
The race's website claims the title "Mother of All Trail Marathons," and, post-race, most runners concurred.
Jason Bryant, 40, the third-place finisher and master's champion from Elkin, North Carolina, said, "Several recent trail championships have been on rather easy courses. I like courses that require a runner to be fast on tough footing." Bryant called the race a "true trail course," where "simple speed was not going to rule."
Obstacles ranged from long, grinding climbs to descents that forced runners to slide bottoms first, to ladders and hand lines along exposed rock. The marathon began in narrow canyons framed by spectacular vertical walls. It teetered on rim tops of deep chasms, and included views of the rocky red wilderness as well as the Amasa back region, where the Colorado River winds through outcroppings of quintessential Moab sandstone.
The trail wound through Pritchett, Hunter and Kane creek canyons, offering clear views of the orange arches in Canyonlands National Park and the peaks and pine forests of the snow-capped La Sal Mountains.
The well-marked course varied from narrow singletrack to jeep and mining trails, and from slickrock to deep, sandy washes and flowing creeks, with approximately 3500 feet of elevation gain and loss.
Over 50 elites lined up on race morning, the first of three waves of competitors. The overall winner, Cody Moat, 34, of Fillmore, Utah, entered the chute in 3:08:26—complementing his victory at the 2012 Spartan Racing World Championships, a grueling marathon distance obstacle course. The second- and third-place finishers, Justin Ricks, 32, of Pueblo West, Colorado, and Bryant, followed competitively, crossing the line in 3:14:39 and 3:17:06, respectively.
The women's field was also loaded with stacked resumes and new talent. Megan Kimmel, 32, of Silverton, Colorado, second place female finisher, felt the competitive atmosphere. "I knew there were going to be a bunch of great, fast ladies at the race," she said, "and daunting as that can be, ultimately it makes a race exciting and really

Spankadelic's Arabic Eyes Contest
Happy Monday. This weekend was so relaxing...a bunch of my plans got cancelled so it gave me time to sleep, sleep, and sleep! I truly am back on track after my sleep-deprived week. My sorority plans were cancelled Friday night so it gave me an opportunity to participate in one of my fellow blogger's contest. I don't always get a chance to do this so I was excited to jump in!
My girl Spankadelic is celebrating her one year anniversary, yay! Part of her contest is to create a look inspired by an arabic makeup pic. My fav! I searched and searched the internet and ended up settling on a look she posted on her page. I wanted to do something uber dramatic since my last arabic eyes look was a bit more modern and understated in comparison. I also got to break out a Bindi I've been saving for years, yay!
Here is the inspiration pic:
My interpretation...I added a little extra to it .

May I select the student to receive my gift that is earmarked for scholarships?
My questions is not listed above, who do I contact?
What is Annual Giving?
This is a term used for the annual fundraising drives conducted by the Division of Institutional Advancement. Solicitations are made via the telephone, direct mail, and the internet.
Who do we contact?
Alumni, faculty, staff, and friends.
Will I get a separate call from my college, school, or department?
No. Phonathon student callers contact alumni from each college. You may always inform the student to direct your gift to a particular department or fund. In rare cases, you may also be contacted by a staff person from the University in connection with a special project. We encourage everyone to make a regular annual gift to DSU. Your participation is important to us.
Where does the money go?
To support academic programs such as scholarships, graduate fellowships, library resources, computer upgrades, program enhancements, chairs, professorships, and research that directly benefit the faculty and students here on campus and for athletics support.
How much of my gift really goes where I want it to go?
100% of each gift is guaranteed to go to the designation specified by each donor.
Why do you conduct a telephone campaign?
A significant portion of DSU's budget comes from federal and state allocations – the remainder must come from other sources, such as tuition and private gifts. We find that a quick friendly telephone call from a current student is a pleasant way for you to stay connected to the university, and for the student to be able to explain opportunities to support academic programs.
Where is the Phone-a-thon Center located?
The second floor of the Administration and Student Services Building and adjacent to the Office of Development. This is a convenient location for our student callers.
Are the callers really DSU students?
Yes. We employ 10-15 students throughout the year. In some cases, a student may continue working part-time after graduation.
Is the student a volunteer?
No. With over 10,000 alumni to contact, this provides a wonderful opportunity for students to earn money for college, while gaining valuable office and communications experience.
When do you call?
Our normal hours of operation are Monday thru Thursday evenings. We comply with all applicable state and federal regulations and do not call after 9 pm.
Why did I get called twice?
Typically all alumni should only receive one call from a Phonathon caller. Occasionally, you will receive a second call if both you and your spouse or significant other are alumni, or if you are a parent of a current student, or if your child is a graduate of DSU and still living at home according to our records.
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Yes, 100%. Once we receive your gift, you will receive a thank you letter verifying that your gift has been deposited into the account you have specified.
May I use my credit card?
Yes - once you receive your pledge card in the mail, you will see instructions for using your Visa, MasterCard, or Discover.
Is this the Delaware State University Alumni Association?
No. The Delaware State University University Alumni Association (DSUAA) seeks memberships from all graduates of Delaware State University. Annual membership dues are $25. These memberships are not charitable contributions and are not tax deductible. You may find more information about the Delaware State University Alumni Association at www.desu.edu/alumni [1].
Can I pay my DSU Alumni Association dues through the Phonathon?
No. These memberships are not charitable contributions and are not tax deductible.
May I choose where I want my gift to go?
Yes. While unrestricted funds are always needed, many alumni choose to designate a gift to any department, college, scholarship fund, other academic program, or athletics at the University.
Can I call you back?
Our students only work part-time, in the evenings, so it's very difficult to reach the particular student who may have attempted to reach you. You may call our Annual Fund Office at 302-857-6056 with your questions or concerns, Monday thru Friday 8:30a.m. until 4:30p.m. EST.
Will my company match my gift?
Very possibly! Hundreds of national companies will match a gift by an employee. This can double or even triple your gift to the Delaware State University. Contact your Human Resources Office for details. Note: spouses of employees, retired employees, and board members are often eligible for the match as well.
How does this work, exactly, if I want to make a gift?
It's easy! Simply tell the student how much you would like to pledge. Then we will send you a pledge form, with all pertinent details spelled out. An envelope will be provided for you to return your gift. It's that simple!
Can you send me a blank pledge card?
Yes. We will be glad to send you a packet of information for you to peruse at your convenience. When you receive this packet, we hope we can count on your participation.
May I select the student to receive my gift that is earmarked for scholarships?
No. In keeping with IRS regulations, a donor may not select the benefactor of a particular scholarship. The DSU Scholarship Committee is careful to strictly adhere to donor restrictions when determining the DSU scholarship recipients.
My questions is not listed above, who do I contact?
If your question is not answered above, please contact us at email@example.com [2].

You may not be the right person to ask but I am asking everyone so "How do you see hybrid disk drives?"
(For the record, I am not immediately related to Robert. At onepoint, "Pearson" was the 12th most common surname in the USA, but now doesn't even make the Top 100.)
Robert, I would like to encourage you and everyone else to ask questions, don't worry if I am the wrong person to ask, asprobably I know the right person within IBM. Some people have called me the "Kevin Bacon" of Storage,as I am often less than six degrees away from the right person, having worked in IBM Storage for over 20 years.
For those not familiar with hybrid drives, there is a good write-up in Wikipedia.
Unfortunately, most of the people I would consult on this question, such as those from Market Intelligence or Research, are on vacation for the holidays, so, Robert, I will have to rely on my trusted 78-card Tarot deck and answer you with a five-card throw.
- Your first card, Robert, is the Hermit. This card represents "introspection". The best I/O is no I/O, which means that if applications can keep the information they need inside server memory, you can avoid the bus bandwidth limitations to going to external storage devices. Where external storage makes sense is when data is shared between servers, or when the single server is limited to a set amount of internal memory. So, consider maxing out the memory in your server first (IBM would be glad to sell you more internal memory!!!), then consider outside solid-state or hybrid devices. Windows for example has an architectural limit of 4GB.
- Your second card, Robert, is the Four of Cups, representing "apathy".On the card, you see three cups together, with the fourth cup being delivered from a cloud. This reminds me thatwe have three storage tiers already (memory,disk,tape), and introducing a fourth tier into the mix may not garnermuch excitement. For the mainframe, IBM introduced a Solid-State Device, call the Coupling Facility, which can be accessed from multipleSystem z servers. It is used heavily by DFSMS and DB2 to hold shared information. However, given some customer's apathytowards Information Lifecycle Management which includes "tiered storage", introducing yet another tier that forcespeople to decide what data goes where may be another challenge.
- Your third card, Robert, is the Chariot, which represents "Speed, Determination,and Will". In some cases, solid state disk are faster for reading, but can be slower for writing. In the case of ahybrid drive, where the memory acts as a front-end cache, read-hits would be faster, but read-misses might be slower.While the idea of stopping the drives during inactivity will reduce power consumption, spinning up and slowing downthe disk may incur additional performance penalties. At the time of this post, the fastest disk system remains the IBM SAN Volume Controller, based on SPC-1 and SPC-2 benchmarks in excess of those published for other devices.
- Your fourth card, Robert, is the Eight of Pentacles, which represents"Diligence, Hard work". The pentacles are coins with five-sided stars on them, and this often represents money.Our research team has projected that spinning disk will continue to be a viable and profitable storage media for at least anothereight years.
- Your fifth and last card, Robert, is the World, which normallyrepresents "Accomplishment", but since it is turned upside down, the meaning is reversed to "Limitation". Some Hybriddisks, and some types of solid state memory in general, do have limitations in the number of write cycles they can handle. For thoseunhappy with the frequency and slowness for rebuilds on SATA disk may find similar problems with hybrid drives.For that reason, businesses may not trust using hybrid drives for their busiest, mission-critical applications, but certainlymight use it for archive data with lower write-cycle requirements.
technorati tags: Robert Pearson, Kevin Bacon, IBM, storage, Tarot, card, deck, Hermit, Four-of-Cups, Coupling Facility, Chariot, SAN Volume Controller, SVC, SPC-1, SPC-2, benchmarks, Texas Memory Systems, Eight-of-Pentacles, World, Hybrid, SATA[Read More]

Veterans Day is a time to pause and thank those who served or are serving in our armed forces and support the military. As part of the celebration, Vermont Woods Studios ran a four day benefit sale to raise money to donate to the Adopt a Soldier Program. With $20 of every sale being collected, we are proud to announce that we were able to raise $350 towards adopting Sgt. Peter A. Avila's family.
Sgt. Peter A. Avila is currently serving with the 25th Infantry Division, 3rd Brigade, D Company located in Hawaii. Peter began in the military as a Marine and now is a US Army Soldier. He has served four tours of duty in Iraq and Afghanistan and will soon be deployed again. Peter's wife Crystal is suffering from kidney disease and debilitating complications. Peter and Crystal's two little boys (Kenan and Kaleb) and a baby girl (Deanna) are growing up without their father's presence nor do they have family members living close enough to assist in times of need. Many other military families are in similar circumstances, serving their country without complaint.
The Adopt A Soldier website provides easy ways to help, such as:
- Donate a holiday gift or phone card
- Send letters to our troops
- Send a care package to a soldier or his/her family
- Make a financial donation to a soldier's family
Thank you to everyone who purchased from us or donated to the Adopt a Soldier Program during Veterans Day this year. And a big thank you to all of our military personnel! That staff at Vermont Woods Studios appreciates the sacrifices and dedication of our service men and women.
This blog is written by your friends at Vermont Woods Studios. Check out our Vermont made furniture and home decor online and visit our showroom and art gallery at Stonehurst, the newly restored 1800s farmhouse nestled in the foothills of the Green Mountains.

Nvidia Corp. has blamed its partners among computer makers for frequent re-branding of their products. The company said that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need to constantly offer customers something new, which is why Nvidia is forced to rename its old products.
Nvidia said in an interview with Bit-tech.net web-site that it only rebranded its products at the request of large PC OEMs and that the most rebrands are OEM-only products and would never be seen within the retail space. According to Nvidia, large suppliers of personal computers "often require new products because they need to have something new to sell to customers", besides, Nvidia itself has to be competitive against the new products by ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices.
The graphics chip designer from Santa Clara, California, started to rename its G92-based products back in 2008, when it re-branded the GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB into GeForce 9800 GTX and started to sell it as a brand new product. Back then, the company's competitive position was much better than today and the necessity to rename old products into new was not exactly clear.
ATI, graphics business unit of Advanced Micro Devices, also renames its old products into new, primarily in the notebook space, which creates no less confusion that is caused by Nvidia's actions. Still, ATI has not done re-branding for so many times.

Great job, Ren! She looks absolutely beautiful. The subtle smokey eyes look so natural and the blush is not too strong. No need for a diamond peel treatment. She looks so flawless.

Fantasy Strategy: Platooning your hitters
You know, I hear all the time about how certain players are substantially better against left-handed pitchers, or maybe exceptionally weak against righties, or vice-versa, or whatever. But just recently did I consider employing this knowledge as a part of my strategy. Sure, if Carlos Pena was up against a tough lefty, I'd sit him, more than likely, but I didn't check his splits until recently. He's currently batting .122 against left-handed pitchers, against righties hitting .252, with four times as many homers (16) in twice as many games (the ratio is less drastic looking at at-bats, I'll admit).

KRDO weather forecast
A very active afternoon across portions of southern Colorado today. Storms that produced heavy rains and road closures today are expected to diminish as the evening progresses. The burn scars and areas that received a lot of rain over the weekend remain our largest concern for flash flooding, should any storms move over these areas. High temperatures in the 70s and 80s, cooler with any storms.
Tonight: Storms capable of producing heavy rain will continue to drift over the area through about midnight, then gradually end late. Pockets of low clouds cover and fog may develop late. Low temperatures in the 50s and 60s for the plains, 40s and 50s for the mountains.
Tomorrow: A very similar weather pattern to Monday is expected to set up across our region. The early morning hours are expected to remain dry, however as the day progresses heavy rains and areas of hail are expected to enter the region. Highs on Tuesday are expected to reach the 70s and 80s across our area.
Extended: Thunderstorms capable of producing heavy rain, and possibly flash flooding, will continue through at least Wednesday. Starting Thursday the air will begin to dry out a bit. Thunderstorms may continue for many areas through the end of the week, but starting Thursday they should be less likely to produce real heavy rain. As the air dries out we will also warm up with afternoon high temperatures climbing back into the 80s and 90s for the plains. This weekend looks pretty hot, with storms most likely over the mountains.

Native Adirondackers and their distinct cultural identity
Over the years I have listened to lecturers, educators and hosts of other acknowledged experts explain how the Adirondack region got its name. Most experts agree 'adirondac' is a European linguistic interpretation of a term that various native peoples used to describe the lands and waters of the region.
The term that was used by one indigenous group to slur another translates roughly to "barkeater." It was intended as an insult to indicate the offended party was not capable of fending for themselves as hunters, and were thus reduced to eating bark to subsist.
I've alway thought the intended barkeater insult lacks adequate punch. If I wanted to insult a foe, I would directly insult his heritage, his appearance or his lack of bravery. Disparaging my enemy's dietary habits just doesn't seem to have the necessary zing.
It appears to me the term adironcac/barkeater was used to describe a natural/physical quality of the landscape. Creatures such as porcupines and beaver were likely the most predominant natural features of the land, and both animals are notorious barkeaters.
Prior to the arrival of the first Europeans in the region – which began with the Dutch in the south and later with the French in the north – the Adirondack region had been utilized by a variety of First Nations' people, including Algonquian, Iroquois, Abenaki, Mahican and Mohawk who regularly traveled through the Adirondack region to hunt, wage war for spiritual purposes and exploration.
Eventually, the region became a place of refuge for displaced Algonquian speaking people who had departed from New England and southern New York for religious, economic and political issues.
The region was also occupied by Indians who had sided with the French during the French and Indian Wars and later by those who had been aligned with the British during the Revolutionary War.
Residents of New York state, which was considered ground zero in both of those conflicts, continued to exhibit ill will toward most native people, regardless of tribal affiliations.
Resentment was especially bitter among European trappers who often
boasted of collecting a pile of good furs after firing a single shot into an Indian blanket.
Despite such a wide variety of natural resources, most experts tend to agree the Adirondack region was never considered a homeland and that native people failed to establish any permanent settlements in the area.
European-American history has been recorded on paper, while native history is mostly oral or available on wampum. History is also subject to interpretation, and it is more often recorded and enhanced by the victors rather than by the vanquished.
Experts continue to claim the Adirondacks were used by native people exclusively for purposes of hunting and travel, but there were never any permanent settlements established in the region, beyond the Awkwasasne mission on the St. Regis River.
At the time of first contact with Europeans, there was an overabundance of beaver in the Adirondack region, as well as numerous whitetail deer in the woods.
Historical reports indicate the salmon spawning in local rivers were so prolific they could hobble a horse.
The region also attracted such massive flocks of fowl that the skies darkened as they migrated along historic flyways throughout the region.
In the forests and fields, there were wild turkeys and grouse, varying hare as well as mink, beaver, fox, bobcat and more.
The 'Dacks of the day were a veritable woodland Walmart, and it's hard to believe native people lacked the skills necessary to enjoy the harvest.
With such obvious supplies of fish, fowl and game so readily available, it is difficult to understand how native peoples were reduced to eating bark. It just doesn't seem to make sense.
There is little doubt the Adirondack region was utilized by native peoples for a variety of interests. The vast interconnecting waterways provided them with easy access and safe travel, while the surrounding lands were rich in fish, fur, game and such fruit of the woods as berries, maple syrup, mushrooms and tubers. Corn was later introduced, and it soon became a staple of their diet.
The Adirondack region is literally laced with waterways that are surrounded by major water corridors, including Lake Champlain to the east, the St. Lawrence to the north, the Hudson in the south and the Great Lakes to the west. These natural corridors opened the land in all directions to trade, and villages were not isolated.
For native peoples of the northeastern United States, canoes offered the utilitarian equivalent of what horses provided to the Plains Indians of the west. Canoes provided ease of travel and the capability of transporting large quantities of trade goods, furs, food and other supplies over great distances.
Similar to a horse, a canoe could be handled by a single person, and yet they could easily carry two or more.
Canoe styles were refined and developed for purposes ranging from hauling freight to going to war. Birch bark canoes required considerable skill to build, but they were also lightweight, portable and easy to handle.
Canoes constructed of elm bark – the most predominant tree in the northeast at the time – were heavy, sturdy and quite easy to construct.
Dugout canoes were also very common. They were often to be found along the shores of many Adirondack lakes and ponds where they had been sunken or buried in mud to prevent rot and decay.
Dugouts were a primitive craft, but were very easy to construct by using fire to hollow them out. They could also be converted into very stable rafts by lashing them together with saplings.
The modern day Northern Forest Canoe Trail, which spans the Great North Woods from Old Forge to Fort Kent, Maine, traces a route that was historically utilized by Native Peoples for centuries by the Abenaki, Iroquois and Algonquian nations. There is little doubt the native travelers knew the land and the wildlife very well.
After pondering various ideas set forth by different "experts" over the years, I recently stumbled across an expert I can believe in. Oddly enough, I discovered her years ago in my own backyard. In fact, Melissa Otis was our neighbor in Elizabethtown and she graduated high school with my sister.
She has since left the region, and recently completed her doctoral thesis at the University of Toronto. It is a very intriguing piece of work.
Titled "At Home in the Adirondacks: A Regional History of Indigenous and Euroamerican Interactions, 1776-1920," the work provides valuable insight into the history of Iroquoian and Algonquian peoples prior to and following the interactions and relationships they developed with Europeans.
Ms.Otis debunks the long-held myth that Native Americans never settled in the Adirondacks by offering evidence of historic Indian villages that once existed in the Adirondacks, including a handful of native communities that were still in existence as late as the mid-19th century.
Through her extensive research of regional census records and property deeds, Ms. Otis also shines a bright light on the many native Adirondack guides who took sports through the wild Adirondacks during the 1870s through the 1890s, including members of the well known Sabbattis family of Long Lake.
It is difficult to escape the bitter irony of wealthy city sports traveling hundreds of miles into the Adirondack wilderness in order to hunt and fish with authentic members of "the vanishing race."
At the same time the city sports were lounging in rustic lean-tos festooned with evergreens, the Indian Wars were still raging in the West as the process of Manifest Destiny marched ever forward.
The overarching argument of the recent thesis revolves around the relationship between Iroquoian people and the Adirondack region. It is a story of continuity of use, location of exchange, shatter zones, the occupancy of a homeland and negotiations of space between various groups.
The study reveals that native people have always been an important thread in a blanket of distinct cultural identity known as Adirondackers.
Part two of the saga will be continued in next week's column.

In this piece I reflect on DCI John Luther's "overriding need to protect other people from injustice and harm, and even sometimes the consequences of their own sin and guilt," and how that fits in with the Christian (and particularly Lutheran) doctrine of vocation.
Indeed, the character's name itself is instructive in this regard. DCI John Luther (played by Idris Elba) is a kind of present-day embodiment of the ideas present in the popular book On Secular Authority, which contains works by the reformers John Calvin and Martin Luther on the restraining power of the civil magistrate.
As I write,
John Luther is a deeply troubled man. We get no real insight into his spiritual life, and he begins the second series of episodes on the verge of suicide. There is likewise little overt religiosity in Luther. But in the vicarious representative action of the natural lawman DCI John Luther on behalf of others, we see a broken and fragmentary expression of common grace, God's preserving work in the world.
In this way, as a force for civil justice and the restraint of evil, DCI John Luther might just be on God's side without knowing it.

The Osbourne women don't seem to mess around with any less than the best of Chanel bags these days. Here's Sharon Osbourne carrying a Chanel Boy Bag with ornate gold edges outside of Madeo Beverly Hills. Sharon had just enjoyed a cozy dinner date with her pal Mezhgan Hussainy (ex-fiance of Simon Cowell), pictured at her left. Last month, we spotted her daughter Kelly with a gorgeous metallic green Chanel Classic Flap in NYC.
Rumors are rampant that Sharon will return as a judge for the UK version of X Factor after a six year hiatus, which is confusing, I know, because back here in the States, she's only recently quit her gig as a judge on NBC's America's Got Talent and has no current affiliation with the US version of X Factor on FOX. That could all change in the coming weeks, however, as she's also a rumored replacement for Britney Spears.

A return of an old story being passed along social media sites — now as a new story — is causing confusion to the general public, according to a release from Saline County E-911 Director Lt. Tracy L. Felty.
The story is that people can dial 1-1-2 and get connected to the local police in all 50 states. This is incorrect.
The 1-1-2 number does not work in our area. 1-1-2 is the emergency number in Europe, not the United States. The designated number in the United States is 9-1-1 and any callers with an emergency should dial 9-1-1.
The story has been around since 2002 and reports that a female is driving down the road when an unmarked vehicle with a red-light attempts to pull her over. The caller dials 1-1-2 and is connected to the local police and police arrive and arrest a subject that was a rapist. The story continues that everyone should call this number.
Unfortunately, 1-1-2 is not the emergency number in the United States. The number is 9-1-1 and everyone should spread the word that 9-1-1 is the correct and only number to dial, according to Felty.

- Cut down on redundant work. Take advantage of patterns, reproducibles, templates, and forms.
- Cut down on homework. Don't assign it. It's developmentally inappropriate, and with school standards being what they are, kids get quite enough work at school.
- Cut down on schoolwork. Before breaks and holidays, eliminate — or at least lessen — classroom work.
- Cut down on missed work. When a student is sick, have someone collect all their work for the day.
- Cut down on messes. Keep baby wipes at the end of each table for quick clean-ups.

- Cut down on distractions. Assign a class "Greeter" to sit by the door with a log-in/message book and deal with visitors throughout the day.
- Cut down on student dependence. Use photographs for everything that identifies them.
- Cut down on confusion. Put Velcro dots on computer mice so students know where to put their fingers.
- Cut down on misunderstandings. Use props and stories to illustrate a point.
- Cut down on pencil sharpening. Give each child their own sharpener.
- Cut down on lack of motivation. Give students tickets or stickers they can "cash in" for points or prizes.
- Cut down on free passes. Make each student answer a question or demonstrate a skill before they can get their hand stamped as a pass to leave at the end of the day.
- Cut down on discipline time. Use the 1-2-3 approach — three strikes and you're out.
- Cut down on notes home. At the end of the day, rub ChapStick on the thumbs of students who showed good behavior. Each parent will know immediately if their child was good by whether they can see (and smell) a colorful thumbs-up.
- Cut down on fighting and mulling too long over prizes. Make lunch bags into mystery prize bags.
Don't forget to return, recycle, or reuse your shopping bags.
I hope these ideas will make your teaching life a little easier.
Have an economical weekend!

Hello Allie,
I like the shortcuts to save time which involve the children with on hand experience in the classroom.
Thank you,
I like what you wrote. Thanks.
I love the chapstick on thumbs. It might be too much for 4th graders but someone out there should try it!
I know a lot of these are for younger kids, but I laughed out loud at the thought of rubbing chap-stick on the fingers of my high school kids. I do use stickers as rewards for them. Believe it or not, the big goofs love them.
Hi Stacy ~ Thank you for reading my blog and I am glad you found good ideas to use. Thank you for the kind words too. ~Allie~
Wow, I teach special education and there were as many good ideas for sensory integration here as I have seen on most special education websites! Great job Allie! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Karen, I hope you found some fun ideas to try. ~Allie
I would not use latex balloons or gloves in a classroom as an allergic reaction can be quite severe.

The United Soccer Leagues PDL has announced its 2011 All-League Team, highlighting the top 11 performers from the league's 64 teams this season. The 2011 PDL All-League Team was selected through a vote of team management.
A pair of players selected will lead their teams into battle at the 2011 PDL Championship Presented by Umbro this weekend in Bremerton, Washington. Defender Daniel Scott of the host Kitsap Pumas earned his second career all-league selection after also getting the nod in 2009. The Western Conference-champion Pumas will face the Central Conference champion Thunder Bay Chill and all-league defender Wilson Rodrigues Neto in a semifinal on Friday.
Backstopping the 2011 PDL All-League Team is Mitch Hildebrandt of the Michigan Bucks, who turned in an MVP-type season with a league-best 12 shutouts for the Great Lakes Division champions. Also representing the Bucks on the team is defender Stewart Givens, a big reason why Michigan was tied for the league low of nine goals surrendered. Givens also chipped in four goals and four assists. Rounding out the back line is Dillon Barna of the Ventura County Fusion. Barna played nearly every minute for the undefeated Fusion, who allowed 10 goals in 16 games. Joining Barna from the Fusion is midfielder Daniel Barrera, who tallied seven goals and nine assists in 13 games to rank as one of the league's top midfield scorers.
With three goals and eight assists in 14 games, Central Florida Kraze midfielder Jonathan Mendoza earned his first PDL All-League spot and he is joined by Des Moines Menace standout John Sosa, who chipped in six goals and eight assists.
The PDL's top three 2011 scorers make up the forward trio on the team, led by scoring and assist champion Milton Blanco of the Fresno Fuego, who tallied 12 goals and 14 assists. The goal-scoring champion, Jake Keegan of the Westchester Flames, tallied a goal per game in his rookie PDL season. Rounding out the group is Chandler Hoffman of the Orange County Blue Star, who finished second to Blanco in points with 36.

TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning, NHL parent club of the Norfolk Admirals, have signed free agent center Zenon Konopka to a two-year contract today, owners Oren Koules and Len Barrie announced.
"Zenon Konopka is a prime example of the type of player we want to have in our organization," vice president of hockey operations Brian Lawton said. "He is a great leader in the dressing room and is one of those players that you love to have on your team, but hate to play against."
Konopka, 6-foot-1, 213-pounds, played in 62 games with the Syracuse Crunch of the American Hockey League last season. He scored a career-high 24 goals and recorded a professional-best 55 points. Konopka ranked third on the team in goals and was second in points. He also ranked second on the team with 11 power play goals and tied for fourth among forwards with a plus-9 rating. Konopka also played in three games with the Columbus Blue Jackets, recording four shots on goal and 15 penalty minutes.
A native of Niagara on the Lake, Ontario, Konopka has played in 32 career NHL games with Columbus and the Anaheim Ducks. He recorded a career-best four goals and seven points with two power-play goals in 23 games with the Ducks in 2005-06.
Konopka has played in 280 career AHL games with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Utah, Syracuse, Cincinnati and Portland. He has netted 86 career goals and recorded 212 points. He also played in 44 career Calder Cup Playoff games, recording 17 goals and 45 points. Konopka has also played in 91 career games in the ECHL with Wheeling and Idaho, recording 28 goals and 98 points.
The 27-year-old played in 242 games with the Ottawa 67's of the Ontario Hockey League during his junior career. Konopka scored 28 goals and recorded 98 points with Ottawa. He also played in 51 career playoff games, recording 16 goals and 37 points.
Undrafted out of juniors, Konopka served as the captain for the Crunch last season.

August 2006 Athlete Profile: Kickin' It With...Jermaine James
|Jermaine James, 17, of Cape Coral, Fla., is fresh off his first World Junior Taekwondo Championships, held July 26-30 in Vietnam. James, a lightweight, won matches over Norway (2-1) and Denmark (4-0) to reach the quarterfinals before losing to the eventual silver medalist from Iran. He is a two-time Junior National Champion and trains at Remarck Sport Taekwondo (RST) under the tutelage of Patrice Remarck and Sherman Spinks.
Before leaving for Vietnam, Jermaine answered the following 10 questions for this month's USA Taekwondo Athlete Profile...
JERMAINE JAMES: Hopefully I will be a successful businessman one day, make lots of money, have a family of my own and still be involved in Taekwondo somehow. I guess whatever God has in store for me, I will be alright.
JERMAINE JAMES: That the international fighters are much more patient than most U.S. fighters. You have to really think in the ring and fight smart.
Q4: Your hometown of Cape Coral is the 2nd largest city geographically in the state of Florida. What's it like?
JERMAINE JAMES: It's one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., very laid back. Most residents are retired and were born somewhere up North. You wont find many natives of Cape Coral. But it's very pretty, close to the Gulf of Mexico, a tourist place with most houses sitting on canals. They call it "Venice of the U.S."
Jermaine with Coach Patrice Remarck
Q5: You've played both football and track in high school. What position did you play in football and what events did you specialize at in track? What were your greatest moments in each sport so far?
JERMAINE JAMES: I was a wide receiver in football but didn't play long enough because the practice interfered with Taekwondo. In track I ran the 100 meter dash, 200 meter dash and the 4 x 100. I was the district winner in the 100 meter dash, running a 10.97 time.
Jermaine and his "biggest supporter", mom Sylvia
Q6: What has Taekwondo taught you about yourself?
JERMAINE JAMES: That I can do anything if I set my mind to it, believe in myself and work hard. And to follow my heart and instincts, regardless what other people say or think. It made me more of a leader than a follower.
2006 German Open gold medalist
JERMAINE JAMES: It reminds me of the adventure we had on the 4th of July in Atlanta before JO's, driving 30 miles one way just to find a store that sells fireworks at 1:30 in the morning. That's what you call true friends!
Q8: You've just made your first Junior National Team. What was on your mind at the Junior Olympic Trials in Atlanta?
JERMAINE JAMES: That this was my last year as a junior and that I could do this, I did train hard and I was ready. If I make the team and go to the Jr. Worlds in Vietnam then I have achieved just about everything possible as a junior.
JERMAINE JAMES: Yes, it helps me with my endurance and weight, especially the running. You never have a chance to get out of shape.
Jermaine with Steven Lopez
Q10: What are your goals in Taekwondo?
JERMAINE JAMES: To represent my country in the 2012 Olympics and one day be a national coach. I love coaching almost as much as competing........(almost).

Then, beat some eggs in a bowl with some water and milk. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/0/HT_Dredge-Cutlets-Step-04_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 3: Prepare a Bowl of Breadcrumbs Add some breadcrumbs with herbs or cheese. Tip: Try using panko. These Japanese breadcrumbs are light and fluffy. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Dredge-Cutlets-Step-05_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 4: Start Dipping the Cutlet To get your dip on, you want to go dry, wet, dry. Dry flour helps the wet eggs to adhere. Dip the cutlet just enough to coat, then the dry breadcrumbs provide the crunch. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/0/HT_Dredge-Cutlets-Step-06_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 5: Keep Clean To keep your fingers clean, dip them into a bowl of water between each cutlet. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/15/1/HT_Dredge-Cutlets-Beauty-02_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Step 6: Cook in Batches Cook the cutlets in batches on the stove so you don't overcrowd the pan. Use this technique for chicken, veal, turkey or fish. http://foodnetwork.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/fullset/2011/7/12/2/HT_Debone-Chicken-Beauty-1_s4x3.jpg.rend.snigalleryslide.jpeg Coming up How to Debone Chicken Follow this guide to learn how to break down a chicken, then watch our how-to video.

Marquette's Catholic, Jesuit identity calls members of the campus community to Be the Difference, preparing men and women for others. These fundamental characteristics and traits align nicely with social innovation and social entrepreneurship; attacking root causes of social problems with sustainable models that increase human capability.
Pedro Arrupe, S.J.
The Social Innovation Initiative is an ongoing exploration of a fit for social innovation at Marquette, including bundled offerings of speakers, residencies, learning activities, coursework, celebrations and community engagements. All campus members are welcome to opt in at any time, and resources are available for those seeking to embrace social innovation through the university experience. Goals for the initiative include equipping champions on- and off-campus, building curricular and co-curricular practices, and serving as a regional convener of like-minded agents of positive social change.
The genesis of the Social Innovation Initiative (SII) can be traced to October, 2009 when Marquette's first social entrepreneur in residence – Jane Leu, founder, Upwardly Global – visited campus for two weeks, engaging the university and city-wide audiences with an intriguing proposition: social problems can be solved, not just managed. Upwardly Global's story of solving unemployment among educated, recent immigrants was a compelling example of positive social change through social entrepreneurship, and it continues to exemplify how the field is a powerful tool for interdisciplinary learning and problem-solving, as well as a framework for life (service, leadership, civic engagement).
Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback to Jane's residency, and armed with a new awareness that social entrepreneurship is a burgeoning field in American higher education – one that aligns nicely with Marquette's mission and identity – SII was launched in earnest in early-2010 by the Office of the Provost in partnership with external funding sources. Since then, more than $500,000 in external gifts and grants have helped build out SII at Marquette, and the Office of the Provost provides modest, recurring support to help supply (programs, meetings, etc.) meet the growing demand for social innovation-related education.
Marquette University is especially pleased to be recognized as a "changemaker campus," a distinction enjoyed by few university campuses nationally through a selective partnership with Ashoka: Innovators for the Public, the largest global organization for social entrepreneurs. Marquette was selected with Duke University and Arizona State University in August 2010, joining George Mason University, University of Maryland and Tulane University, among others.
Going forward, SII's future seems especially promising as the University moves to implement a strategic plan that includes students equipped by a Marquette education serving as agents of positive social change, and the academic enterprise serving as part of the solution to the world's great challenges, locally and globally.

jaimie: i know, her skin was sooo pretty
rmcandlelight: llama e/s is a permanent color from MAC. in terms of applying individual eyelashes...it helps to use a tweezer and lay the lashes in between sparse areas in your own lashes so it looks more natural.
wes: awww thanks girl!

Excellent job. A lot of women of color are afraid to wear makeup, especially with lots of pigment. Ironically, those are the BEST ones for us to use. I think it has to do with the fact that makeup companies in the past lacked colors for us and their shadows, blushes, etc. tended to look ashy on our skin. Thanks Ren Ren for showing that those days have ended! Rock that color girls!
- August 8, 2008 at 12:29 PM
- Monique said...
Also Ren, it would be very cool to see you use colors like a gold and cranberry or deep burgandy colors such as MAC pigment in Burnt Burgandy. OH MY GOSH. That color is SICK on darker skintones. A definite must have!!!
- August 8, 2008 at 12:34 PM
- MakeupByRenRen said...
monique: i agree...a lot more companies are catering now to colors that look good on women of all colors...i actually have burnt burgundy pigment and it's one of my favorites! i'll try it on some of my darker toned clients soon :)

The Runnability Scale
Can that be run or—ow!
Three buzzards sailed down for a closer look. "I'm not dead yet," I yelled, gesturing a crusty middle finger. ...
Illustration by Kevin Howdeshell
Three buzzards sailed down for a closer look. "I'm not dead yet," I yelled, gesturing a crusty middle finger.
My knees were still bleeding, but my knuckles had dried. I tore off a piece of napkin, stuck it to a knee wound, and impassively watched it turn red as I pulled out my dinner. Sardines again.
I should've nailed the drop onto that hoodoo. The seven-foot flight was too much for a one-legged running landing, and I collapsed headfirst over the edge, completely missing the next hoodoo. I fell five feet onto hard dirt for a close-up view of Goblin Valley, Utah. Again.
The trot back to the car gave me time to assess the runnability factor of what I had just tried. On a scale of one to 10, I gave it a three. I could've run it on a better day.
The experience of running across the tops of hoodoos seven to 10 feet high still ranked a 10 in my thoughts, right up there with running across stone arches and cliff ledges. But finding the right combination of rocks proved to be more difficult than finding arches and ledges that worked. Miscalculations could result in brain surgery or, worse, not being able to run.

The site of the old Mercer County Jail is now a parking lot. But the former building's appearance and function before its demolition in 2010 was not static. At one time in the old jail's history cars could be parked in the basement, the front rooms and sally port were added and the building even served as the Sheriff and his family's residence with his wife cooking for the inmates.
