Course Description
The AP Studio Art Portfolio course is designed for students who are seriously interested in the practical experience of art and wish to develop mastery in the concept, composition, and execution of their ideas. (C2) AP Studio Art is not based on a written exam; instead, students submit portfolios or evaluation at the end of the school year. In building the portfolio, students experience a variety of concepts, techniques and approaches designed to help them demonstrate their abilities as well as their versatility with techniques, problem solving, and ideation. (C4) Students also develop a body of work for the Concentration section of the portfolio that investigates an idea of personal interest to them.
Summer Assignment
Create an altered book. Document your summer. Do not do copy work, but work from direct observation instead. Take risks and try new ideas and media. Glue stuff into your altered book: ticket stubs, receipts, pebbles, lists, found papers, gum wrappers, etc. Create photography and glue it into your book. Draw or paint onto collaged materials in your book. Go wild and fill the book.
• To encourage creative as well as systematic investigation of formal and conceptual issues in the Quality, Concentration, and Breadth sections of the portfolio.
• To emphasize making art as an on-going process that involves the student in informed and critical decision making to develop ideation. (C5)
• To develop technical versatility and skills while using the visual elements and principles in compositional forms.
• To encourage students to become independent thinkers who will contribute inventively and critically to their culture through the making of art. (C7)
The AP Studio Art course addresses three major concerns that are a constant in the teaching of art: (1) a sense of quality in a student's work; (2) the student's concentration on a particular visual interest or problem; and (3) the student's need for breadth of experience in formal, technical, and expressive means of the student's art. AP work should reflect these three areas of concern: quality, concentration, and breadth. AP Studio Art: 2-D Design Portfolio requires the student to produce a minimum of 24 works of art that reflect issues related to 2-D design. (C1) These works may include traditional as well as experimental approaches to 2-D design. Drawing, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and collage are all appropriate means for expressing design principles.
In the Concentration section, students develop a body of work that is derived from a planned investigation of an idea that is of personal interest to them. Ideas may be developed in any media or process. Students will use informed decision-making and problem-solving skills in an ongoing process to develop and select the 12 pieces of work for their concentration. (C3) In the Breadth section, students will experience a variety of concepts and approaches to demonstrate their abilities and versatility with techniques, ideation, and problem solving. The Elements and Principles of Art are explored extensively in the Breadth section. Five Quality pieces are selected from either section or are created independently of Concentration or Breadth.
During the first week of school, the course is outlined to the students. The individual sections of each portfolio—Quality, Concentration and Breadth—are discussed in detail. I show extensive slide examples from both the College Board and past students' work that correspond to each section of the portfolio—with special emphasis on the distinctions between the Drawing Portfolio and the 2-D Design Portfolio. Additionally, the students review the images and instructions from the AP Studio Art Poster.
As in any college-level course, it is expected that students will spend a considerable amount of time outside the classroom working on completion of assignments. Ideas for projects or solutions to problems should be worked out in a sketchbook both in class and outside of class. The sketchbook is an essential tool in recording ideas, capturing visual information, working on compositional issues, and just fooling around. Altered books are checked frequently for progress.
AP Studio Art students are encouraged to participate in exhibitions and competitions. At the end of the school year, students will submit portfolios to the district-wide art exhibition where as a senior they will compete for scholarship awards.
Assignments that are open-ended in nature and that explore a variety of approaches to design are made during the first semester. Assignments have end dates. Students should make every effort to complete work by the end date; however, there may be circumstances that cause an assignment to be delayed. It is important that students have a discussion with the instructor if work is going to be turned in late or they will miss a critique.
Work is evaluated in progress and in the finished state through critiques with teacher and peers in-group and individually. (C6) The AP Studio Art rubric, which is distributed separately, provides the grading criteria.
Course Schedule
Classes meet every day for 50 minutes. The course focuses on both sections of the portfolio (Breadth and Concentration) throughout the year, with the best artwork selected for use in the Quality section of the AP Studio Art portfolio. The Breadth work is generally teacher driven. I try to vary assignments from year to year, and encourage individual and unique responses to all work. The assignments made are based on a variety of collected problems commonly encountered in college-level 2D Design courses. The students have specific in-class and out-of-class assignments; they also are expected to complete some in-class work out of class, depending on the schedule of assignments.
Possible Breadth Assignments
Create a design with a repeated figure that places emphasis on symmetrical, asymmetrical or radial balance using a sharpie marker.
Create a portrait, self-portrait, landscape, or still-life in the style of another artist in which formal aspects of design are emphasized—i.e. Monet/Impressionism, Matisse/Fauvism, Picasso/Cubism, Warhol/Pop, Dali/Surrealism, Van Gogh/Postimpressionism, etc. You may have to do a bit of research to understand the stylistic tendencies of these artists/movements.
Create a self-portrait, or several different ones, that expresses a specific mood/emotion–e.g., anger/rage, melancholy/loneliness, happiness/joy, etc. Manipulate light and color to enhance the psychological atmosphere. Also, consider the development of the environment/setting.
Create some exploration with mixed media. Do a piece (portrait, self-portrait, landscape, or still-life) in which you use at least three different media—i.e., a wet medium, a dry medium and some collage element.
Create a portrait, self-portrait, still life, or landscape using either a complementary, analogous, or split-complementary color scheme (you may use black and white as well as shades and tints of the chosen hues).
Create a drawing of a futuristic cityscape—e.g.,
Create a composition with cakes, candies and gumball machines. Look at the work of Wayne Thiebaud.
Create a graphite drawing of a still-life arrangement that consists of reflective objects—your goal is to convey a convincing representation with a full range of values. To add interest to the composition, you might also want to render yourself being reflected in the objects.
Create a drawing of an unusual interior—for instance, looking inside a closet, cabinet, refrigerator, inside your car... use your imagination!
Create a painting/drawing/mixed media combo of a toy. Look at Chris Cosnowski, local artist John Hartley, Cesar Santander and Andy Warhol.
Create a color rendering of a still-life arrangement consisting of your family member's shoes—try to convey some "sense" of each of your individual family member's distinct personalities in your piece.
Create a composition that shows progressive magnification of a subject. Select either an organic or inorganic object to draw. Divide a large piece of drawing paper into nine equal sections. Starting in the top-left box, draw a representational, overall view of the object as accurately as you can. In the next box to the right, imagine that you have a camera with a zoom lens and draw a close-up portion of the object in accurate detail. In the remaining sections, continue zooming in on the object and enlarging finer details. The last frame should be an enlarged detail created with the aid of a magnifying glass or microscope.
Recreate an Old Masterpiece Painting. Select a painting, sculpture, or well-known image from art history for interpretation. Redo the work . . . update it, or change colors, media, characters, etc.
Create an Architectural Myth with Photomontage: Collect photographs/photocopies of city skylines, landscapes, and seascapes. Also collect photos/copies of household and technical objects—e.g., eggbeater, toothbrush, toaster, electric fan, automobile grill, etc. Carefully implant the photo of the technical gadget within the photo of the environment to create a surreal cityscape or landscape. (You might want to look at the work of the artist Max Ernst who took printed images and recombined them to create hybrid forms).
Create cut-paper self-portraits, interiors, landscapes.
Create distorted interiors.
Create gridded and distorted self-portraits.
Create Pop-inspired pieces working with personal symbols or words (Robert Indiana, Ed Ruscha).
Create a piece that combines photocopied body parts (face, hands, feet) with anatomical drawings.
Create an acrylic painting using analogous or complementary color scheme.
Create a funky portrait of classmate in environment using thick bold outlines/contours, and areas of flat color (David Bates).
Create paintings or color drawings investigating imitation of metal or glass objects.
Create a tromp l'oeil painting by direct observation of objects placed in a box or glued on a board.
Create pinhole photography utilizing Principles of Design. Create your own camera and develop paper in darkroom.
Create photograms.
Create an Andy Warhol/Robert Rauschenberg Pop Art piece by way of photo transfer. Colorize it with prismacolor, acrylic paint, pastel or watercolor.
Create a social commentary piece involving experimentation with acetone transfers and gloss medium transfers to be further developed with text and imagery—literal, metaphorical, or symbolic. Look at Robert Rauschenberg.
Create text and image piece in which student is asked to physically write (soft graphite pencil) across a surface that has been coated with undiluted gesso an excerpt from an account of a most memorable moment—good, bad, horrific, terrifying. The direction and spacing of the text are up to the student. Within a rectangular (inset) area, the student is instructed to gesso out all text and then superimpose imagery within the space that is invoked by the story—literal, symbolic, or metaphorical.
Create compositions that involve the use of inset imagery (image within image such as details/close up views).
Create a drawing composition that alternates from a simple contour drawing into a fully rendered drawing at student-designated focal points.
Create a three-part piece inspired by work of Jim Dine: In the first piece the students are asked to render an ordinary object or tool, bigger than actual size, making it the dominant aspect of the composition. The students are also directed to blur the distinction between positive shape and negative space. In the second piece, on a larger surface, the students are to create three distinct images of the object, while making the whole piece work. In the third piece, the students have to include an actual object, though it does not have to be the object they have been working with. It can be a different object that is related to it—literally, metaphorically, or symbolically.
Create a composition in which the students use various neutral tones of torn papers (with a variety of textures) collaged on a surface to define areas of a still life. The piece is further refined as the student superimposes a linear drawing upon the collage with black, sepia or white conté.
The students are encouraged from the beginning of the class to formulate ideas for their Concentrations and, where allowable, to start working on those ideas. The concept of working in a series is explained by looking at various artists.
Possible Concentration Topics:
A series of works done with encaustic, printmaking, and a variety of other media, concerned with different approaches to the picture plane as discussed in the text Drawing: A Contemporary Approach (Claudia Betti and Teel Sale 2004,
A series of works done in graphite, colored pencil, and Adobe PhotoShop illustrating aspects of the subject "Roller Coaster." The investigation increasingly moved away from illustrative renderings to bold, graphic symbols.
A series of works done in 2D and low relief. Look at Jim Dine. The student investigates a tool (hammer) in a body of work done in a variety of media, with a variety of techniques as well as processes. Investigation combined interest in imagery developed from direct observation as well as engaged in issues of formal design.
A series of works from a student's visual journal. Sophisticated in terms of development, the book included text, personal photographs, collage items—ticket stubs, product labels, fortunes (fortune cookies), netting, bubble wrap. Student enhanced the compositions with intimate illustrations, many figurative and/or based on human anatomy.
A series of black-and-white photos that showed strong evidence of investigation into a number of design elements and principles. Examples included works showing repeating shapes/patterns, geometric division of space, and balance.
A series of photos related by subject—such as portraits, self-portraits, landscapes, architectural details, a family history.
A series of mixed media pieces based on childhood memories using collaged and layered imagery that incorporated text.
Photographic documentary of a subject.
A series of work based on the life of the graffiti artist.
A digital self-portrait series that incorporate digital photos with text.
Critiques are an integral part of all classes. All students are brought together for critiques at regular intervals—generally when they have major assignments due. Each student must show his her work and briefly discuss his or her intent. The class is then expected to provide positive feedback and offer suggestions for improvement. All students participate. The vocabulary of art is introduced through the foundation classes and is reinforced through the verbal and written critique. We have class critiques on the days work is due. These generally take the entire class to complete, sometimes more than one class period. For grading purposes, I use the AP Scoring Guidelines for Studio Art. It is important for AP students to be familiar with the rubric that will be used to score the work in their portfolios. Additionally, there is ongoing dialogue with students on an individual basis during class time. The students also dialogue daily with each other about their work.
In the AP 2-D class some work is done with the use of transferred images. In these instances, the students know that the work must be significantly altered and incorporated into a larger idea of their own. Sometimes, there are subjects that the student could only reference through a photograph (such as certain animals). In these instances the students are instructed that the image must become part of their larger individual expression.
Keeping Track
Students may choose to include work in their portfolios from previous studio or design classes. Consequently, each individual student will have a very individual portfolio. In order to keep up with individual progress, a file folder is established for each student that is kept in the filing cabinet in the room. The folder contains an inventory sheet that lists all completed work by category, including the size of the piece and the medium, a statement about their Concentration idea, and slide sheets that are updated as each piece is photographed. These folders are necessary so that I can keep an overview of each student's progress in mind.

The Institute of Science in Society has a pretty long article on why biofuels may be a worse cure than the addiction our society has to oil.
Biofuels for Oil Addicts
About Simon Robinson
One Response to Biofuels for Oil Addicts
Mark C R UK 10 March, 2007 at 9:15 pm #
I've read it. It's a out of date already – written 12 months ago!
They quote David Pimentel's work at Cornell.
That dates back 6 years!!!
Even so with the developments (I've posted elsewhere on here) – from DuPont…
… mean that biofuels are looking postive.
I find it funny how the science is now moving on so that the biofuels cynics are out of date!
I also have to question some of the detractors – since some of the criticisms are based on an industry that is not yet fully developed technologically. Until it is – they have no real basis for some of the arguments.
Just look at the impact of cellulosic-biofuels on the net energy balance… it's a quantum leap for the biofuels sector.
The following leaps will involve other clean technologies – including novel reactor designs… membrane-reactors (minimise energy of separations), novel energy inputs (microwave or ultrasonication)…
I could go on…
Best wishes simon,

If your child travels as an "unaccompanied minor" here's news you need to know from United Airline's updated policy:
What's New: Non-Stop Flights Only
As of Dec. 5, United Airlines says kids traveling alone in its unaccompanied minor service (and children aged 5 to 11 must use this service) are restricted to non-stop flights only. This service is optional for youngsters aged 12 to 17 but if they use it, they too are limited to non-stops. If they travel as adults, connecting flights are allowed. Children under five are not allowed to travel alone on United.
Minor Fee – Still $150 Each-Way
The charge for United's unaccompanied minor service is $150 each-way, and that is in addition to the price of the ticket. It's important to note you must arrange for this service by calling United (but it is not clear if that will also incur the usual $25 phone fee).
When children sneak onto planes
Other Airlines
Airline policies on unaccompanied minors vary significantly (and are often changing). Some airlines, like Allegiant, do not accept children traveling solo at all. Others that allow kids to fly by themselves have different age limits but most don't allow children under 5 to go it alone. Rates vary too from about $50 to $150 each-way. Find your airline's policy by searching "unaccompanied minor."
Flight Attendants and Unaccompanied Minors
If you send your child on a plane alone, you must be aware that flight attendants are not babysitters and looking after your child is not part of their duties. That said, it would be a hard-hearted flight attendant indeed who would ignore a little one traveling by themselves. However, the onus is on the parent or guardian to be sure the child is capable of solo travel. If not, travel with the child.

— Goldust tweeted out the following today after it was announced that Scott Hall will be joining DDP's Accountability House:
@SCOTTHALLNWO hey scott, just wanna say i love you as do so many. There is a better life for u buddy if you want it. You can do it! Period!!
@SCOTTHALLNWO the life of sobriety is fucking good and i know you have to be sick and tired of being sick and tired! I love you #perseveranc
— Kevin Nash posted the following to Twitter today in response to the news about Scott Hall entering DDP's Accountability House:
I love everyone telling me about what Scott needs, been dealing with this for 20years.Scott will get healthy when Scott wants 2 period
No offense to Nash but letting Scott deciding when he wants to get healthy isn't a good idea. I know Nash knows from experience but letting Scott decide when he wants to get healthy is path to hell and self destruction. Sometimes people need to be pushed or persuaded because right now Hall doesn't want to get better, he wants to die (Not a bashing comment). Hopefully DDP's, Jake's,Goldust's and all the fan support can help Hall make the right choice. If Jake the Snake can do it in this condition or a disabled army veteran can do it then i'm pretty damn sure Scott motherfuckin Hall can do it too. C'mon Bad Guy give your addiction the ole Razor's Edge Strut out like a Champ like before!
Clearly, Nash has given up on him. That's fine, can't blame him. He's tried everything.
But to diss those who haven't? Just show's Nash's lack of class (like we needed to see it yet again).
Nash knows like any former addict, it's purely on the person to decide when they want to truly get clean. You cannot force an addict to stop unless it's what they want. Hopefully Hall gets himself clean before it ends up killing him, but unless it's what Hall truly wants then it won't happen.
It seems like rehab does Scott no good, maybe moving in with Page will be the difference Scott needs to finally straighten him out.
Yeah, he needs more than to just be in a controlled environment for a short period, he needs guys he knows and trusts to take him in and steer him right for an extended period. If he can get to 60, 90, or 120 days of staying clean, THAT is when he will be on a road to recovery. He needs a clear mind to realize how bad off he really is/was.
A controlled environment doesn't do any good, it's not the initial period after addiction that's the struggle, it's long term that's the struggle. Most addicts will relapse AFTER the 90 day period, not before it. Addicts have to make permanent changes to their lifestyle, and avoid temptation as much as possible because it's a life-long struggle not to relapse. The failure to cut off ties with people who push you towards addiction, and changing your environment permanently is the reason for relapses in addicts.
I have to say, I really love the work DDP is doing.
Class act. Always was. He was never the biggest name, but always had the biggest heart.
I actually saw a post on Facebook from a friend who knows nothing about DDP or wrestling. It showed how he helped a vet walk again when everyone else gave up on him. He's just a great guy.
That shows Nash knows nothing, he needs support not his so-called friend going "hell get it done when hes ready"
for real…it was like he was saying it wouldnt work. Nash sucks
Technically, he's probably right about it not working. But saying it? Trying to get others to give up on Scott? Gimme a break. What a ##@$#!
You clearly don't know addiction, "friends" don't do addicts much good. Addiction can ONLY end if the addict wants it to end, no sooner. I'm a former addict, and know several and all of them will tell you the same thing.
Not a great comment from Nash, it's like he's saying only he knows Hall and no ones gonna be able to help. I know Nash mentioned Hall has some dark secrets from his childhood which have messed him up so I hope he can overcome them and get clean..
I get what Nash was saying, I really do. But for him to say that on a worldwide forum like twitter is kinda reprehensible. You never know, Hall might be at a stage where he NEEDS his friends. I don't think Nash gave up on him. He's just saying what it really is. But the way he said it and where he said it plays a huge part in how fucked up it sounds. It's not like he was overheard saying that among a group of personal friends, he TWEETED that shit for the whole world to read! That more than kinda fucked up, it completely fucked up! With friends like that etc etc.
What Nash is saying is 100% dead on. Until Scott is ready for change, nothing will change. Period.
I want Scott to get some help like we all do…and I know he's sketchy as shit with the women in his life…but hell I thought his kid was gonna get a push as a wrestler. Where is he? Don't you want your dad to live? Luckily my father is a rock of greatness, but not everyone has that…and Scott shows signs of being a good dad helping his son with wrestling? Where the hell is his kid?
Bottom line…no diss on his kid at all, but honestly, if I had to rely on Kevin Nash for anything…I'd be dead, broke…or wishing I was.
he had his son living with him for a while but even with him there it wasnt doing him any good unfortunately

Nearly 9 million Americans 50 and older face the risk of hunger, according to new research commissioned by AARP Foundation. The report, produced by James P. Ziliak of the University of Kentucky and Craig Gundersen of the University found more than nine percent of older Americans were at risk of hunger in 2009 – a 79 percent increase since 2001.
The report, "Food Insecurity among Older Adults," is the first of its kind to examine this issue among people age 50 to 59 – the youngest of the baby boomers. Because they are typically too young for Social Security and Medicare and too old to qualify for programs designed for families with children, this age group can be hit particularly hard in bad economic times. In 2009, 4.9 million 50- to 59-year-olds were at risk of hunger, representing a staggering 38 percent increase over 2007.
"For the first time, we have a fuller picture of hunger risk among all Americans 50-plus," said AARP Foundation President Jo Ann Jenkins. "But sadly, it's far more bleak than before. The recession has taken an especially large toll on older people – especially those in the middle class." Jenkins noted that between 2007 and 2009 the most dramatic increase in food insecurity was among those with annual incomes above twice the poverty line. [The 2011 federal poverty guideline is $10,890 for a single person and $22,350 for a family of four.]
She announced the new research Aug. 30, 2011, at the Meals On Wheels Association of America (MOWAA) annual conference in Chicago. The AARP Foundation report builds on earlier research commissioned by MOWAA to examine hunger among people 60 and older. AARP Foundation is working with hunger relief organizations like MOWAA and Feeding America to combat the growing problem of hunger among older Americans.

Philadelphia U. 9 Rider 0
Women's College Tennis
Philadelphia University 9, Rider University 0
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The Rider University women's tennis team lost the 2012 spring opener on Thursday afternoon at the Arthur Ashe Tennis Center.
For the Broncs, freshman Michelle Caravaglio (Manalapan/Freehold) took her second singles match to three sets before losing 10-4 in the tie-breaker.
"It was our first mach of the spring season and Philadelphia played a little steadier," said head coach Ed Torres. "We had a few players higher in the lineup than normal and while they fought hard, as a team we were over matched."
Rider played without three starters who missed the match due to prior academic commitments and exams.
Also for Rider, junior Marly Roche (Sussex/High Point Regional) won nine games at first singles and freshman Samantha Troxell (Mays Landing/Buena) also won nine games at six singles.
The Rider men open their spring season Saturday at Rutgers Camden with the Bronc women back in action on Sunday at La Salle.
"With the full team together, I think we will fair a little better as the season goes along," Torres added.

Winemaker Notes
The Diamond Dust Vineyard lies just south of the town of Geyserville in the renowned Alexander Valley wine region. Its old, low vigor vines consistently produce Merlot with more power and depth than typically found in the appellation. Stylistically, the wine is full-bodied and powerful in the mouth with wood behind the fruit. Trig Point Alexander Valley Merlot shows fresh black raspberry, cedar, and toasty vanilla aromas, with cherry, black currant, and spice flavors.

I'm sorry to have to say this, but a posted business in AZ ...DOES.... have the weight and authority of law.
Now, in this particular case, all they are saying is you must have a permit. No more, no less.
And may I politely ask why it will take you 60 days to get your permit. With my original permit, plus two renewals, the longest time I had to wait was 14 days....including the weekends. Assuming you have yet to take a class, may I suggest you pay real attention to AZ CC law. There are a couple of hidden quirks in AZ law of which a permit holder needs to be aware.
Lastly, AZ Constitutional Carry does NOT change anything about who may be permitted to own a firearm, nor a change is any prohibited place.

MANCHESTER: As luck would have it, debutants Boyd Cordner and Josh Papalii were having breakfast together when Australian coach Tim Sheens wandered over to let them know they will become the Kangaroos' latest Test players.
The 21-year-olds have each capped remarkable rises from developing first graders to internationals ahead of their first Test match against Fiji on Saturday (Sunday, 7am AEDT).
Fairfax Media witnessed the moment when Sheens told Australia's youngest players on tour of their selection. Cordner, who can now add a Test jersey to his Origin debut and premiership ring for the Sydney Roosters, was still coming to terms with his meteoric rise.
"It was unbelievable," Cordner said. "I can't wipe the smile off my face.
"Josh is a top bloke and to find out he is playing with me – I can't wait to play with him. I watched him play all year at the Raiders and he killed it.
"Tim just came up and said 'you boys will be playing this week' and told us what positions we'll be playing.
"I'm still shocked but it's starting to sink in now."
Papalii will start in the second-row while Cordner will play off the interchange bench in a vastly different outfit to the one which beat England to kick-start Australia's World Cup campaign with Sheens keeping his promise to rotate the squad.
Only Darius Boyd and Johnathan Thurston remain in the same positions in a reworked backline from Australia's team which beat England with Greg Inglis taking Billy Slater's place at fullback and NSW pairing Michael Jennings and Josh Morris combining in the centres.
Daly Cherry-Evans will start at halfback in his second Test.
"As soon as I can get hold of brother and my old man I will let them know," Cordner said. "I'm still pinching myself.
"It hasn't really sunk in yet. I don't know when it will. Maybe in a couple of months, maybe in a couple of years time.
"I'm just enjoying it at the moment at taking it all in."
Australia's front-row remains intact with James Tamou, Matt Scott and Cameron Smith to start the game while Luke Lewis and Nate Myles will join Papalii in the back-row.
Robbie Farah is again the bench utility while Cordner, Paul Gallen and Andrew Fifita complete the bench rotation.
Fiji were aggressive in their 32-14 win against Ireland and the Australian's are expecting a bruising affair.
"Fiji have got a lot of NRL players and they showed against Ireland that they are a real threat," Cordner said.
"I want to be in the 17 for the rest of the tournament."
Australian team: Greg Inglis, Jarryd Hayne, Josh Morris, Michael Jennings, Darius Boyd, Johnathan Thurston, Daly-Cherry Evans, Matt Scott, Cameron Smith (c), James Tamou, Luke Lewis, Josh Papalii, Nate Myles. Interchange: Robbie Farah, Andrew Fifita, Paul Gallen, Boyd Cordner.

The great port of Gondor, Pelargir, was one of the first settlements of the Númenóreans founded in Middle-earth during the Second Age.
It was located above the delta of Anduin river south of the White Mountains.
Pelargir was built in SA 2350.[2] During the years of Númenor's fall it became the chief haven of the Faithful as they migrated to escape the persecution they faced from the King's Men. When Númenor finally fell the city became a part of the newly founded Kingdom of Gondor.[3]
As Gondor's power grew, Pelargir became the home of its navy. But during the civil war of the Kin-strife, the city was besieged by Eldacar, as it had become a stronghold of the sons and supporters of Castamir, The Usurper. The siege was partially a success, as Eldacar had driven his enemies out, but they escaped and set themselves up in Umbar. Their heirs became known as the Corsairs of Umbar.
With the decline of Gondor's power, Pelargir was attacked many times by the Corsairs, who were in secret allegiance with Sauron, but the forces of Gondor managed to defend the coasts. In TA 1634, however, the Corsairs ravaged and ruined the city, slaying King Minardil. The city was quickly regained by Gondor.
The conflict with Umbar finally came to a head during the War of the Ring, when a great Corsair fleet besieged the city. As Gondor's army was tied up at Minas Tirith, there were few troops to defend Pelargir or the coasts. Then Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli, along with the Grey Company and the Army of the Dead, arrived and defeated the Corsairs. The heroes used the black ships to reach Minas Tirith and defeat Sauron's forces.[4]
After Sauron was defeated, the Corsairs no longer attacked Gondor.[5]
Pelargir is a Sindarin word that meant 'Garth of Royal Ships'.[6]
Other InterpretationsEdit
In Games Workshop's The Lord of the Rings Strategy Battle Game the garrison of Pelargir is the Wardens of Pelargir. They carry shields emblazoned with the original Men of Gondor heraldry rather than those seen in the War of the Ring. Games Workshop also name Corinir as the Lord of Pelargir.

Mission to Paris (original 2012; edition 2012)
by Alan Furst
Work details
Mission to Paris by Alan Furst (2012)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Europe on the brink of war and an American movie star travels to Paris to make a french movie. He gets caught up in The German Reich Foreign ministry web as someone to help in publicity for their cause. They want Paris to surrender to Germany before war comes. Fredric Stahl is one of many interesting characters in this novel filled with German bad guys and french aristocrats and emigres.
The plot is okay but lacks great plot twists or surprises. What I enjoyed very much was the time in Paris, the heart and soul of Europe in this novel. It's restaurants and cafes, hotels, and streets scapes arebrought to life at this dark time in history.
(as I read it, the Fredric Stahl character reminded me of the english actor Ronald Colman)
Furst has long been on my TBR.
As this was my first Alan Furst novel that I've read, the first thing that came to mind me was how it kind of kept reminding me of John le Carre's works in a sense of the dark atmosphere, the smooth way in which the espionage business was carried out.
Besides that, there wasn't much in it. There was an awesome book lost somewhere in "Mission to Paris", but Furst did not find it. The end concludes too quickly, and characters are introduced and dropped. On top of that Paris as a setting was woefully wasted.
Also hard to stand and understand was the way Furst tended to caricature most of the German characters. I'm not sure whether Furst stays on the right side of the line cliche-wise. The difference between a lazy cliche and a comfortingly familiar type can be pretty fine in fiction."
In 1938, Fredric Stahl, a daringly handsome actor from Hollywood heads to Paris to shoot his new movie, a war drama called After the War. He has a good history with the City of Love, and hopes to not only make a great film but enjoy the city that he belongs in. Yet, life is never that simple, is it? With war from Nazi Germany knocking firmly on France's thin fragile door, Paris is in a constant wave of ups and downs of morale. On the outside France seems to be run calmly by the French, but the Nazis are slowly creeping their influence into French politicians by the way of bribery and fear.
While just trying to make a movie and maybe meet a nice lady, Stahl gets caught up in the political game of the Germans, a party invite here, a favor there, seems innocent right? Or is it all a part of a scheme to use Stahl. As you read Stahl meets an array of characters to which seem to be friends, but in a country where the balance between war and peace can be tipped over by the most tiniest of pushes, one can never be so sure. You end up questioning the motives of everybody Stahl meets even up to the very end of the book.
I enjoyed this book a lot, I honestly didn't think I would just because spy novels are not really my cup of tea but when I won this in a Goodreads giveaway I figured it couldn't hurt to try it at least. I'm pleasantly surprised how much I liked it, characters were likable and each has their own interesting tale to tell, story was fast paced and never dragged on, and the ending was very satisfying. The only problem that I had was the first 15 pages, though important, weren't fun to read, they felt like I was just reading a list of titles, names, and places. It wasn't until you start following Stahl that the story drastically improves. Alan Furst created a wonderful story and I am definitely going to read some more of novels.
Just to throw one little personal quarrel, the copy I received from the giveaway, which I assume is a review copy, is literally covered in reviews of the book and the author. There are reviews on the cover, the back cover, two full pages within the book, and even on the spine. So just as a suggestion, please don't send copies like that to giveaway winners, it feels like a cheap way to manipulate you into giving it a good review. Let the book stand on it's own merits, but then again this is a personal irritation.
Alan Furst never disappoints me.
This time the hero is Frederic Stahl an Austrian born Hollywood movie star who is in
Paris in 1938 to star in movie called Après la Guerre. The city is crawling with Nazis and he is covertly approached by several who want to have him work on their side. Stahl wants nothing to do with them and finds refuge with the American attaché, Wilkinson who connects him with a Russian actress and spy Olga Orlova who has deep contacts with Hitler's henchmen.
Lots of intrigue, filming in Paris, Morocco and Hungary and a daring escape from Hungary. Good spy novel.
I'm a huge Alan Furst fan and this is his first novel that disappointed me. The story line was OK for the most part, but the dialogue and the atmosphere created by his narrative didn't exactly ring true. The dialogue in particular bothered me, especially early on in the story. Very "mannered" sounding, which along with the narrative attempted to create a glamorous milieu for the lead character, a famous American actor of Viennese descent.
In his previous books, you (or at least I) could sort of close my eyes and imagine the scene and the action taking place. Not so much in this one. It was still a decent read, but not one to savor. If you're just starting to read Furst, please start elsewhere.

Ryan Gosling Covers GQ January 2011
In the midst of promoting his new movie "Blue Valentine," Ryan Gosling landed the cover of the January 2011 issue of GQ magazine.
On newsstands nationwide December 21, the hunky actor was interviewed by Brett Martin while visiting a few favorite L.A. spots including the Magic Castle and The Varnish.
Discussing family and his various jobs outside of acting, highlights of the GQ interview are as follows:
On his family's willful suspension of disbelief:
"My mother still believes in Santa Claus. We tried to break it to her once, but she wasn't having it. There are very few believers in the world, but my mother is one of them. I don't know if she'd admit that this is why she does it, but it's just more fun to believe in Santa than not to."
On why he got a job at a deli after his Hollywood hit, The Notebook:
" 'I'd never had a real job,' he says. The problem with Hollywood, he goes on, is that nobody works. 'They have meals. They go to Pilates. But it's not enough. So they do drugs. If everybody had a pile of rocks in their backyard and spent every day moving them from one side of the yard to the other, it would be a much happier place.' "
On expecting retribution from his success:
"Look, this is crazy. I don't understand how I'm here, living this life, wearing this suit. I assume I'm going to pay for it someday…. And that's okay. It seems fair to me. I just want to be ready for it. I want to meet it like a gentleman."

05 645Ci backup light replacement
Hi guys & gals. I'm new to Bimmerfest and am very thankful to have a DIY Forum to get information on upkeeping and avoiding expensive dealer repair costs. Yesterday I received the alert message that I have a reverse light malfunction indicating a bad bulb. Has anyone replaced this themselves? I understand it is mounted in the bumper but does it require the bumper to be removed to get to it? Sounds like an expensive repair to have it done. I wonder if it is more trouble than it's worth to just have it replaced by the dealer. Thanks for any info provided.
It is a simple 10 minute job to pull the rear bumper. You need a helper though.
An indie mechanic should charge you 1/2 hour labor max, or you can try it yourself - rear bumper removal instructions.
Thanks Yorgi! I really appreciate you sending the instruction sheet for the bumper removal. It doesn't look to difficult. I will replace both bulbs to save myself the trouble of having to repeat the process if/when the other side goes out. Thanks again.

It's fantasy week at Masters for 54-year-old amateur
AUGUSTA, Ga. – The financial adviser from Alma, Mich., missed his short par putt on No. 18, signed his Masters score card for 81, and left Augusta National Thursday with a smile on his face. Five bogeys and two double-bogeys never felt so good.
"That's my all-time favorite 81," Randy Lewis said. The score might have other players here ready to bend their putter around the nearest magnolia tree. But no rain on Lewis' parade.
"This is a dream come true," he said. "There's nothing that can be bad about a sunny day at Augusta on the first round of the Masters.''
BLOG: Round 1 as it happened
PHOTOS: Top shots from Augusta National
Not when you're a 54-year-old amateur, and this is the first Masters of your life.
Not when the gallery calls your name, and you would have been thrilled just to be here on the watching side of the ropes, let alone the playing side of the ropes.
Not when your family is here, including the 19-year-old son whose name tag makes it pretty clear how much his parents love golf.
Say hello to Nicklaus Lewis.
"We kind of subjected him to a life of misspelled first name," his father said. "Jack was always my hero."
Augusta loves stories like this one. At least on Thursday and Friday, before the big guys get down to serious business on the weekend.
Start with a man who didn't play golf until the age of 16. Add in a career of worrying about stock prices during the business day and yardage to the green most other times.
Make him the oldest U.S. Mid-Amateur champion in history in 2011, which bestows a Masters invitation. Then send him to Augusta.
Put him by chance at a practice round here in March, on the same day Nicklaus was in town. Have his heart pounding when he finally worked up the nerve to meet him.
Now move to Monday's practice round, and have him standing at No. 14, looking around, soaking everything in, because he understands it is highly likely he will go around only once at Augusta. Like Kentucky basketball players, he will be a one-and-doner.
"I wish things would slow down," he said to himself. "This is going by way too fast."
To other players here, the first major. To Randy Lewis, fantasy week.
Now put him on the No. 1 tee Thursday morning, pleading to the golfing gods to be merciful. His nerves had been awful Wednesday at the par-3 contest, but were better.
"I've been thinking about that first tee shot for six months," he said later. "It was like, 'Please, don't top it. Don't pull hook it. Somehow get it in the fairway.' "
Straight down the middle.
Nearly five hours later, he came walking up No. 18. Most of the chairs were empty, for this was only the second group to finish. No sponsor's attire for him. He wore a white Masters cap and blue Masters shirt. The pro shop workers will know him like a cousin by Friday. He said his Visa bill must be closing on a thousand, and he will leave with enough Augusta gear to last 10 years.
"I'm going to be one of those guys," he said, "always wearing Masters stuff."
The day had been wonderful, including Nicklaus Lewis introducing himself to Jack Nicklaus. Who cared about the 81?
"I was disappointed I didn't drive the ball a little better," he said. "I putted really well. My score would have been higher if I hadn't been rolling it so good."
He aims to savor every leaf and blade of grass. Odds are, Friday will be the second and last official Masters round of his life. If there is any justice, he will get his first birdie. He's staying the weekend to watch, because this is too good to end early.
"I joked with my wife, they're probably going to have to have security guards escort me out of here," he said. "You know what? I've been thinking about it every day for six months, so it's probably time to get back to a normal life."
Back home, there are 401ks to monitor. Next week will mean hard work, inspecting portfolios. But right now, he's a player at the Masters.

Griffin is solid when he gets the minutes his stat line last night 37 minutes 22 points off of 8-11 shooting 2-4 from 3 pt 12 rebounds and 4 blocks.

[NASL REWIND: Week 10] Forward Daryl Fordyce scored in each half to give FC Edmonton a 2-1 win over the Carolina RailHawks, its first win in eight games. The loss left Carolina in a four-way tie for second place seven points behind the first-place New York Cosmos.
Former Eddies defender Paul Hamilton scored to cut Carolina's deficit to 2-1, but the hosts survived a nervous final quarter of an hour to earn the three points.
"It was a
genuine team commitment and a win I thought we deserved," said FC Edmonton coach Colin Miller. "Carolina threw a lot at us at the end but we always looked
really good on the counter attack. I'm really pleased for the owner and the great fans here that we got the three points today."
On Saturday, the New York Cosmos opened up a
seven-point lead with a 1-0 win at Minnesota United FC on Paulo Mendes' goal in the 53rd minute.
Goals either side of halftime from Martin Nunez and Bradlee Baladez gave the Fort Lauderdale Strikers a 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies in front of a crowd of 3,612 at Lockhart

Steve O
Warning: contains profanity and extreme, adult themes unsuitable for stuffed animals
Stuntman, comic, author, and graduate of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Clown College, Steve O has been slaying audiences on live tours celebrating his famously outlandish antics. As a central member of MTV's Jackass stunt-comedy crew, Steve O has tempted fate by tightrope-walking over alligators, stapling his body to his body, and baking bread without first letting it rise. From the safety of their nonpierced seats, fans can spy clear views of Steve O's many tattoos, which trace self-portraits, Santa Clauses, and other absurd silhouettes all over his body. During his live show, Steve O may recount stories from his recent tome, [Professional Idiot: A Memoir](http://gr.pn/wjkFIH), pull off a balancing stunt, or subject audiences to musical torture as seen on his latest reality TV show, Killer Karaoke. ####Tom Green
Warning: contains rants about the married and sharply enunciated foul language
Whimsical absurdist Tom Green comes full circle with an energized return to his standup roots. Known for his MTV talk show The Tom Green Show, the cult-classic film Freddy Got Fingered, and his televised triumph over testicular cancer, Tom's multifaceted career has encompassed the arts of writing, acting, rapping, skateboarding, and giving birth to an adorable litter of puppies. Tom shares his delight to be back on the standup circuit by treating fans to a guffaw-inducing set that explores the nooks and crannies of his untamed mind. Longtime devotees and new recruits to the cult of Tom can expect an exciting evening, jam-packed with fresh jokes, unpredictable movements, and chances to hear new raps about cured meats.

Welcome to Katie Anderson Interior Design Consultants, a full service interior design firm based in San Francisco. We are excited to now be offering online design services, check out our services page. We would like to introduce you to some of our favorite furniture and lighting designers and their great products, provide information on what constitutes good design, its process and of course great value.
Our latest featured item is the gorgeous Tao Bookshelf by Hellman-Chang. Hellman-Chang's award-winning, modern furniture line is the work of self-taught designers and lifelong friends Daniel Hellman and Eric Chang. Each unique solid-wood piece is handcrafted in their New York studio from local sustainable materials, and carries with it their passion that one's personal style can be rewarding and bold, and yet still comfortable and gracious for the home. Eric Chang describes below their inspiration for this wonderful piece.
The Tao bookshelf was a natural extension of our award winning Tao line. The key here was the negative space and using the same classic lines to create an interesting piece that maximized potential for accenting objects. Vases and sculptures work great in the space in addition to stacking or resting your favourite literature. One important element that carries throughout the Tao Line is the canted edges – the perimeter edge cants inward at an angle to draw people towards the negative space. As a result, light hits off the top corners in a more dynamic way. Versatility was also critical as the bookshelf can be used as a room divider, or specified to sit horizontal as a console.

We are happy to answer any questions you may have and to provide you with a purchase price quote.

I'm new to reloading and recently started to reload some SD loads I did some Speer 230 gr GD's which are going to the range today to check on function,but I was thinking about the XTP bullet Until I heard some really disturbing info I was wondering if others could validate.
The round does not expand,better off with a fmj.Problems with feeding have to play with the .oal,going over suggested .oal We all like to save a little $,but to me $7-$8 on a box of 100 is well worth the insurance on an SD round if I know it's going to expand and I don't have to play around going over the recommended .OAL of a bullet to make it function properly.
have other's experienced problems with the XTP round reloading it? I don't want to throw away $ trying to save a few dollars.With the .45 do we really need a expanding hp anyway,I'm a Vet I used the .45 and I never experienced or saw a case of over penetration with the FMJ,but with everyone screaming Law Suit,I figured I better carry a HP to be safe in civilian life.

Aquasky, locals tbc
We just can't get enough of Aquasky! Whilst they are renowned as breakbeat legends and frequent visitors to Australia, don't be fooled into thinking that Aquasky are on their way out…in fact they're going up, way up!
Having blown the roof off at the Hordern at the first 360 with Masterblaster, the trio consisting of Kieron Bailey, Dave Wallace and Brent Newitt celebrated 10 years of being one of the most proactive, daring and innovative breakbeat acts in music by returning to our shores in 2006.
This year they are back and they're ready to rock, with 10 tour dates across Australia and New Zealand in promotion of their brand new LP This Way Up.
Aquasky have had a career that many acts in breakbeat could only have dreamed of, having notched up countless releases on some of dance music's most respected labels and collaborated with the likes of Freq Nasty, The Breakfastaz, Meat Katie and Sinden.
The trio started working on music together way back in '95 and originally rose to prominence as drum & bass producers. After a few albums, it was their befriending of nu-skool breaks pioneer Adam Freeland in 2000 that ultimately saw them drop their BPM and embrace the world of breakbeat. 12 years later, Aquasky have released more tracks and remixes than any other breakbeat producer, and so it's safe to say that breakbeat fans all around the world are more than thankful for their decision to ditch d n b!
There's no slowing down for these Bournemouth lads in 2007, with the release of their 8th album Ultimate Breaks and Beats imminent and extensive tours around the world planned!
And just to make it extra special this time around, these Passenger label owners have decided to invite friends and fellow collaborators from the new LP Nick Thayer and Dopamine to join them on selected dates across Australia and New Zealand to provide the ultimate This Way Up experience!

In my newpaper, someone is selling a willys jeep for 300 and an extra chassis for another 250. Anyone know what this is??
Willys who made the car made the jeep being a willys it was made in the 40s,50s,.Till they where bought out by AMC. you could say the for runer to the cj5. Chuck,,,
OK, Thanks
your welcome!! Chuck,,, :D
Tell me it's not true - you have never heard of a WILLYS JEEP?!?!?!? My goodness, that is about all Willys is known for! It has only been a few years since Chrysler acquired the American Motors Corp. which absorbed Willys in the 50's. The Jeep and Willys have been synonymous for most of a century. As you evidently don't know (how can that be!?!?), Willys motor Co. was going bankrupt in the late 30s-early 40s. When the war came, they took the body off their passenger cars (42 Willys) and plopped on a Jeep body and sold a slew of them to the military for WWII. Claim is that the Jeep won the war. Willys couldnt keep up with demand so several companies (Ford for sure, not sure who else) produced the vehicle using Willys plans.
Here is a more detailed history from a Jeep owner's club web site
"Although Jeep vehicles are now a Chrysler trademark, the word "Jeep" has slipped into our everyday vocabulary. When spoken, it creates an image that everyone understands.
The first coinage of the word "JEEP", as applied to a motor vehicle, occurred during WWI. According to Major E.P. Hogan, who wrote a history of the development of the Jeep for the Army's Quartermaster review in 1941. The word "Jeep", he wrote. "is an old Army grease monkey term that dates back to WWI and was used by shop mechanics in referring to any new motor vehicle received for a test." Jeep was still used in Army motor pools well into the 1930's as general purpose or "GP" for short. Though in a 1941 Army manual it refers "GP" as Government 80" wheel base car (Jeep). Before then in 1936, the term 'Jeep' was it introduced to the world by a Popeye comic strip character, "Eugene the Jeep". The only words Eugene could say were "Jeep, Jeep", and "GP" then became "Jeep". Then the "Willys Quarter-Ton Jeep was 1st used by the U.S. military in WWII. When the WWII Jeep was issued during wartime, the term "Jeep" was here to stay."
The "CJ" moniker refers to 'Citizen Jeep", sold to the general public, as opposed to "Military Jeep". They were the Humm Vs of the 50s.
Wow, I must be getting way too old! Guess I better start looking at 'homes'.
No Willys, Your never to old if you can still turn a wrench!! lol No, Really, I've never been much of a jeep person, that and true hotrodding isn't really big in this area and I'm only 22 if thats an excuse. But Thanks for the info. :)
A buddy of mine owned a 61 or 62 willy's army jeep in highschool,he dropped a 350 chevy in it,added powersteering and 33"mud tires.only car I've ever seen on the street that could smoke all 4 tires away from a stop light.
He told me that AMC bought out willy's the year his jeep was made.
Willys built small cars until WWII, when they got the contract to build the majority of Jeeps (mainly a Bantam design -- who also made small cars, but didn't have a big enough factory to build enough Jeeps). Kaiser-Frazer bought Willys out in the mid to late 50s, when it became Kaiser Jeep Corp. AMC bought Jeep in 1970.
Now you done it, you got Willy all riled up. There are a few rules around here;
#1. Don't mention the word "Willy's" and the fact you know nothing about them around Willys36, cause that fact will soon change.
#2. Don't ever bad mouth Ed Roth or any of his creations, he'll kill ya.
I think that should be added to the user agreement, what do you think Jon? :D
We like to keep him in a stable frame of mind, you wouldn't want to be chased by that Hemi down some dark highway like a scene out of "Christine" would ya? :D
I mean think about it, he built that thinly disguised dragster of a Willys and he was in a good mood then! If you get him pi$$ed off he might build some alky burning dirt bike engined (hemi of course) chainsaw or something and hound your butt.
Think about it? :)
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[ May 15, 2003: Message edited by: email@example.com ]

Does it say what year of Willys ? I'm just about finished with a 1951 Willys Jeepster. Two more weekend max and its a driver :)
Here is a good little article on the Willys Jeep
RUN>>> :eek:

Roof begins to go up on London Olympic stadium
By Avril Ormsby
LONDON (Reuters Life!) - The roof of the main 2012 Olympic stadium began going up this week -- a symbolic stage in Britain's preparations for the Games -- but doubts remain over a long-term tenant.
The first 30-meter steel section was lifted into place on the showpiece 500-million pound ($715.4 million) stadium, taking its height to almost 37 meters(120 ft) above podium level.
The roof should be finished in nine months' time and the entire stadium by the Summer of 2011.
"The construction of the roof starts to give a real indication of the height of the structure," said John Armitt, chairman of the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA), responsible for building the venues.
"People can start to see for themselves how the Olympic Stadium will look during the Games."
The stadium will host track and field events as well as the opening and closing ceremonies.
But concern remains about its legacy after leading football clubs ruled out moving in because of its size and the retention of the athletics track around the pitch.
The stadium's 80,000-seating capacity will be reduced to 25,000 after the Games -- too few for a Premier League football club -- and fans do not like being so far from the field of action. Continued...

ETBU Press Release:
MARSHALL, Texas – East Texas will be the new home for Joshua Eargle as East Texas Baptist University has hired the former NCAA Division I and II coach as their next head football coach. Eargle has Texas roots moving back to his home state after coaching stops in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma.
"I am very pleased to have Joshua Eargle as the new Head Football Coach at East Texas Baptist University," stated Director of Athletics Kent Reeves. "Coach Eargle is a solid Christian man who will motivate our young men to be great both on the field and off. We are excited to have Joshua and his family coming to join the ETBU family."
Eargle is very familiar with East Texas and has recruited this area for Nicholls State, the University of Arkansas-Monticello, and Ouachita Baptist University. He has also coached in the area as the defensive coordinator for Hallsville High School in 2011 when they were Bi-District finalists. Coming from Sulphur Springs, Texas, where he was a Texas Sports Writers 4A All-State lineman, he played for his uncle, Chuck King, before moving on to the University of Memphis where he was a three-year letterman.
Coaching both sides of the ball, Eargle has been an offensive and defensive coordinator in his young career. This past year he was the defensive coordinator at Southeastern Oklahoma State (NCAA DII) and served as the offensive coordinator for the University of Arkansas-Monticello (NCAA DII) in 2010.
"With Coach Eargle's experience as a recruiting coordinator, offensive coordinator, and defensive coordinator, he will bring a good working knowledge of the game to our program," stated Reeves.
Post season games have also graced Eargle at the NCAA Division I level along with conference championships. He has coached in four bowl games, winning two as an assistant coach at Southern Mississippi in the 2007 GMAC Bowl and the 2004 New Orleans Bowl. He took part in the 2010 Capital One Bowl on the staff at Louisiana State University and the 2003 Liberty Bowl at Southern Mississippi.
In his first year as a graduate assistant at Southern Mississippi, he was a part of the 2003 Conference USA Championship with a perfect 8-0 record. In his second stint at Southern Mississippi, they won the Conference USA-East Championship in 2006 at 6-2.
He has made coaching stops at the NCAA Division I BCS (Bowl Championship Series) level at Southern Mississippi ('03, '04, '06) and Louisiana State University ('09). In 2007 and 2008, he coached at the NCAA Division I FCS (Football Championship Series) level at Nicholls State. Making stops at NCAA Division II programs, he has also coached at Southeastern Oklahoma State ('12), the University of Arkansas-Monticello ('10), and Ouachita Baptist University ('05).
Under his guidance, he has had 10 players earn first-team all-conference and 17 players earn an all-conference award. At every program he has coached for, at least one player has earned a first-team all-conference award.
This past season at Southeastern Oklahoma State as the defensive coordinator, his pass defense was the 11th best in NCAA Division II and first in the Great American Conference. The overall defense finished 29th in the nation out of 156 programs and was third in the Great Amercian Conference.
The 2001 graduate of the University of Memphis was an offensive guard that earned the Top Tiger Award which was presented by head coach Tommy West. He finished with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science. He then earned a Master's Degree in sports administration from the University of Southern Mississippi in 2004. He is married to Kristen and they have two daughters.

Major update!!! He is all done at least for now
Major update!!! He is all done at least for now
You looked great at DragonCon! My only advice would be to cut down your chest pieces a bit. They are a tad large (unless you made them that way so you can grow into them.).
yeah I was thinking about that, I like it big but it will probably look better small...good idea
Yeah I was going to say the same thing about the armor. The Ab part is the one that really seems too big. It's your costume though, so don't let us dictate how you wear it, have fun with it! The costume turned out great!
I took your guys advice and trimed the armor, its looks better, much better! Thanks for thr feedback keep it comein.
I think it looks good man; the only real criticism I have with it is the cape. It looks small to me. I'd either get something longer, or lose it entirely. Other than that it looks good.
I actully prefer the cape small, they just get in the way if its to big...for my taste anyway.
Looks like you're having a lot of fun with this! I would suggest weathering the armor a little. Good job for do it yourself
Thanks kristen, but to be honest I dont like weathering at ALL. Clean is where its at.
Am I missing something here? Kyram, do you have any more recent pics?
Well just the ones above the -------- they just show my backplate and legs boosters thats all.

The true extent of problems at High Street fashion chain Hobbs was laid bare today as the fashion firm swung into a loss.
The brand, whose fans include the Middleton sisters and Andy Murray's girlfriend Kim Sears, suffered a £1.9 million loss for the year to the end of January, according to accounts posted at Companies House. It made a £8.2 million pre-tax profit over the previous 12 months.
The figures come in the wake of private-equity giant 3i, which has a 47% stake, having recently cut the value of its investment by more than half to £21 million, thanks in part to the chain suffering a tough Christmas.
"The disappointing performance was the result of changes to the core ranges, which were not well received," said the accounts.
"The unseasonal weather was unhelpful but not the principal cause of this underperformance against our expectations."
Turnover fell 8.2% to £111.7 million while gross margins dropped 0.8% to 62.5% as stores struggled to sell dresses, skirts and tops at full price.
Chairman Phil Wrigley joined Hobbs in January, and in June named Meg Lustman as the new chief executive, replacing Nicky Dulieu who left earlier this year.
Bosses have said sales are now improving under the new management.Reuse content

Though the app isn't perfect, iHome has worked out some early bugs and continues to improve the app and make small feature enhancements. (A full accounting of the app's features is available at iHome's Web site.) All in all, the concept of making what's essentially a robust, software-upgradable alarm clock is a great way to go. That said, it would be more ideal if the app automatically launched when you docked your iPhone (alas, you have to launch it yourself). It's also worth pointing out that if you have a bulkier iPhone case, you might have some trouble docking your unit, but you should make a connection just fine with the standard slimmer cases (yes, your device charges when docked).
The iA5's not going to blow you away with its sound, but it certainly sounds better than the typical clock radios of yesteryear, including some of Sony's Dream Systems. For those living in dorm rooms or smaller bedrooms, it can serve as a passable primary sound system (barely), but the reality is that it's more suited to serving up background music at mid to low volumes. (Yes, the iA5 is GSM-shielded, so a docked iPhone won't cause any annoying interference on the speaker.)
The dearth of a built-in radio means that you'll need to use your iPhone/iPod Touch for anything you want to listen to. That's fine if you've loaded it up with lots of music (iTunes) or plenty of streaming apps (Pandora, Last.fm, AOL Radio, Sirius XM, NPR, etc.), or if you've bookmarked iPhone-compatible streaming sites. Just don't expect quick and easy access to your local AM/FM stations.
We also have a handful of design gripes. The dock locks the iPhone/iPod into the upright (portrait) position; that means you can't watch videos in the preferred landscape orientation, and the phone's top blocks easy access to the snooze button--not good for groggy wakeups. We were also disappointed that brightness adjustments (for the clock, the top power icon, and the iPhone screen) were all manual; at this price, we would've liked to have seen autobrightness adjustment via ambient light sensors. None of these are deal-breakers in and of themselves (for us, anyway), but taken together, they might give you reason for pause.
The iHome iA5 lists for $100, but can be had for about $10 less online. For what you get in terms of sound and build quality, that's a bit expensive (we'd like to see this more in the $60 to $70 range), but the app is free, so you could argue that you're paying the extra 25 bucks or so for that software--and the updates that come with it. So long as you're OK with that value equation--and you don't mind any of the design caveats listed above--we have no problem recommending the iA5, which delivers on its billing as an "enhanced" alarm clock.

"Floating" on Wet Concrete
I am in the process of building a permanent telescope pier and the pier itself is now done. It is basically a 3' long, 8 inch steel pipe that stands vertically (welded) on a flat steel plate (1 foot square).
The pier will be J-bolted to the pier pad (concrete) and it would be handy to just set the pier/bolts on top of the wet concrete and let the pier itself kind of 'find its home' on top of the pier pad. The pier assembly weighs right at 100 pounds.
What is going to happen when I set this pier assembly on top of wet concrete (100 pounds spread over 1 sq. foot)? Is it going to sink down and down or will it pretty much 'sit on top'? The pier pad itself is basically a cube that is 2.5' x 2.5' x 2.5' (roughly). It will be around 3500 to 4000 psi concrete (and will contain a goodly number of brick sized rocks whose only purpose is to reduce the volume of concrete to be mixed).
You want to inbed just the jbolts in the wet concrete,if you try setting the whole thing on the wet concrete,it's going to sink to a certain degree,and may tip one way or the other.
You do have holes drilled into the steel plate,do you not??
Just the bolts. If you wait until the concrete has set up enough so the pier won't sink, it won't be wet enough to consolidate around the bolts. And if you put it in there wet, it'll sink.
Just make a cardboard template and use that to locate the bolts.
199 Attachment(s)
Can you use a plywood template of the base plate? Attach the J bolts to the plywood and wet set it when you pour the mud- remove the plywood after it cures then set the permanent plate.
199 Attachment(s)
A little slow on my posting...
You could use expansion bolts too. Drill them in after the mud cures
couldn't you just drill the setup concrete and use epoxy to set your anchors (threaded rods not j-bolts).
[QUOTE=DaveLeeNC;1143252]The holes are drilled in the plate (one in each corner). I can set the J bolts with a wood template. I just wasn't looking forward to trying to wrestle a 105 pound pier assembly around trying to line up four holes/hour J bolts.
Can you use a plywood template of the base plate? Attach the J bolts to the plywood and wet set it when you pour the mud- remove the plywood after it cures then set the permanent plate.
As eplumber said is the easiest way,just use a nut on the top and bottom of the j bolts,with the plywood in between.
When all is said and done I guess it is a trade-off between wrestling a 105 pound pier assembly onto J bolts vs. a fair amount of drilling. Not being familiar with the using epoxy in concrete I'll probably go the J bolt/plywood template (wrestling) path.
One thing I've learned when doing work like this in industrial situations is to leave one bolt about 1 inch higher. You can catch this one 1st and use it for a pivot point to line up the other 3 (or many more in industrial situations). It makes it much easier to line everything up.
