NEW YORK, NY – The Bespoke Man's Narrative CD to be released on March 19, 2013, by Mack Avenue Records, provides jazz pianist, arranger, and composer Aaron Diehl the unique opportunity to share with the music world his extraordinary talent in formulating complex and enjoyable jazz compositions through an antithetical strategy that emphasizes understatement and dignity.
Diehl's concept of The Bespoke Man's Narrative is to reflect a certain kind of order and discipline — but at the same time allow the artists performing to exert individuality, uniqueness and creativity in their approach to the 10 musical selections on the CD.
"The idea for the metaphor was that the composition and concept were specifically for these musicians," Diehl says, referring to his working quartet of 30-ish all-stars – vibraphonist (and Mack Avenue artist) Warren Wolf, bassist David Wong and drummer Rodney Green – that interprets the five originals and five arrangements comprising the program. "There's a sequence, an arc, a beginning, middle and end. Each piece has something to do with my musical development."
If all this sounds familiar to the seasoned jazz aficionado, you guess it right – Diehl's approach to his debut album, The Bespoke Man's Narrative, is model after John Lewis' Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ).
The MJQ was John Lewis' greatest achievement. Of course the individual talents of each member were critical to the group's longevity and artistic accomplishments. But even more important was the vision that defined how those talents would be employed, and that vision was entirely Lewis'. And the incredible Aaron Diehl has successfully pulled off a remarkable feat by employing the John Lewis technique with the artists in The Bespoke Man's Narrative.
One need only to listen to vibraphonist Warren Wolf in other settings, where his fiery style was allowed to burn hotter, or to drummer Rodney Green, whose playing is almost is never as stark as when he adds his personal touches to each selections in the quartet arrangements, and bassist David Wong executes a delicate and graceful style complimentary to his fellow musicians. In fact, Diehl's quartet shares a deep fondness and respect for the late MJQ drummer Connie Kay, as well as pianist John Lewis, vibraphonist Milt Jackson, and bassist Percy Heath.
The 26 year-old winner of the prestigious 2011 American Pianists Association Cole Porter Fellowship in Jazz, Diehl's approach to producing the compositions in this CD is elegant, as well as having an emotional reserve; this is apparent in the spare, on-the-beat chords of the Single Petal of a Rose track, my personal favorite, with its impeccable placement and economy in which he eloquently shines in his solo performance. Simply a beautiful work of art!
It should be noted that Diehl is playing on the most sophisticated piano in the world — the Fazioli Model F278 Grand Piano, which he was able to reproduce the piano's magnificent transmitting power, its extensive dynamic range and harmonic richness can be heard throughout this CD.
Diehl's accompaniment is slightly more active on Lewis' 1966 masterpiece, The Cylinder track, yet there is still an objective, detached quality to the way he drops tidy little figures, the bare minimum to nudge the beat and add dash of flavor, to the flow. The tune is a perennial favorite of Diehl's setting, which is animated by the conceit that this blues "has the rickety feeling of an old car" as Lewis once said about the tune when he first played it. From the canonical theme statement to the humorous close, piloted by drummer Green, the performance is a model of interplay. Diehl suggests the stride piano tradition in his use of time and early Count Basie in the defining purity of his chords.
Aaron Diehl's The Bespoke Man's Narrative is an important piece of musical jazz fine art because it reminds us, as a practical matter, knowing what came before us can have real value in suggesting solutions to present problems in the world. Music is a universal language that speaks volume to the masses. Diehl's fascination and respect for the influential and important work of Lewis' MJQ will provide additional light on an earlier era of jazz which refuses to die, but is continuously progressing.

My first real solo hunt in Wyoming was to be a hunt close to camp. It allowed me to sleep later than we had been.
I headed up a closed off road. It's USFS here and the roads aren't always clearly marked. It is your responsibilty to know which roads are opened/closed and to what type of usage.
This particular road was closed to all motorized vehicle, including ATVs. Basically, it was walk, horseback or bicycle.
About 1/4 mile up the road there was a camp. They didn't get the memo on the road. They were in a small wall tent, still sleeping I suspect. They had driven their rig (4X4 pickup) to the spot they were camped at.
I continued on the road until I reached my jump off spot. It lead me to a saddle between 2 ridges. My son had gotten an elk to answer one of his bugles up there but, that was as far as it went. That was the same morning I arrived at camp, 4 days ago. I was hopeful that the bull was still around. That side of the road had seen very little pressure, compared to some of the other areas.
When I finally crested the saddle, and began to descend into the next system, I just couldn't catch a break on the wind. It eventually caused me to end up lower than I had wanted to cross over to the next ridgeline. At some point, while on this nature hike, I did throw a few bugles and sat around but, there were no responses or other indications of interest. There was fresh sign but, this morning, they were MIA for me.
I decided I had plenty of chores and cleaning that needed to be done in camp, and with the sun getting high and the temps rising, I did the unthinkable and veered straight toward camp. I abandoned the whole plan of crossing over to the second ridgeline.
I cooked brunch and cleaned everything I could, myself, my laundry and every bit of pots and pans I could find. I even hung a line to dry the laundry. I made sure I would be finished in plenty of time to make the evening hunt I had discussed with my son, the previous day, before his departure. I was going to return to the ridgeline he had taken me on my first evening in camp.
The plan was to hunt both Thursday and Friday evening on this ridge, with his decoy silhouette elk, that he owned a couple years and had never actually deployed. The thinking was that, if an animal showed up for the party, they'd be focused on the silhouette and that would allow for a closer shot with my recurve setup. Having 2 tags in my wallet, one being general(any elk) and the other a cow/calf only tag, I wasn't planning on being picky. Yes, of course I would have loved to shoot a bull but if I were to fill the cow tag, that would take the pressure off of the meat supply issue. As it turned out, I didn't have to make any choices on this hunt.
Around 5:30, I began to get responses to both bugling and cow calls. Before it was all said and done, I had 4 bulls down below and/or across the canyon from me but, only one even sounded like he might be heading my way. Two of the bulls had very distinct bugles and I knew they were bulls we had heard over 2 1/2 miles away, near where my son had killed his bull. All the pressure over there had pushed them toward this canyon.
I found myself running out of daylight again and had to pick up and head back to the quad. As I reached the road, and headed toward the quad, I noticed there were fresh elk tracks over my quad tracks from my ride in. I couldn't help but think I needed to spend more time in this general area.
When I arrived in camp, I poured over the maps I had with me. There was a horse trail in the bottom of this canyon I had just come from. I considered that the planned hunt for the next day(as discussed with my son) might be a waste of time. We had seen quite a few rifle deer hunters over there and they had been doing alot of shooting.
The decision was made. I would abandon the plan I had discussed with my son before he left camp. I would head in on the horse trail, on foot, and hunt the bulls in the canyon where I knew they were. I was so sure I would at least see and hear one or more of the bulls the next morning that I actually had trouble getting to sleep at first.
The next morning, I have to admit, my heart sank a bit when I arrived at the trailhead and there was a horse trailer there that had not been there the night before when I passed through. I was concerned they might hear the big boys screaming and start hunting where I intended to hunt. There was alot of country back up that trail and I just hoped they were deer hunters trying to get to the higher spots for deer before light, hence their early departure on horses. I headed in on the horse trail, in the dark. I got back a couple miles and did some triangulating on saved position above. I decided I was in the right spot to head across the creek and up and over the ridge.
I have to say it didn't look nearly as steep in the dark or early light but, it was nearly straight up. I was beginning to become accustomed to the terrain but, the thin air was another matter that was not so easily adapted to.
I picked my way through it and up. I would cow call softly every once in awhile, just in case someone (or rather some elk) was listening.
When I thought I was getting within a reasonable distance of where I thought the elk were likely at, I threw out a bugle. Immediately two bulls answered. One of them was a bull we had heard before, near where my son had killed his bull. I decided at that point he would be my intended target and started making my way toward him, checking the air currents constantly. I continued to make soft cow calls as I moved on up and around the two hogback points I believed were between he and I. It was still early and the air currents hadn't stabilized. I knew once the sun was up, being on a mostly west facing slope, I would have wind or air currents blowing down hill. I tried to stay at the halfway elevation of the hills until the air stabilized better. There were times when I would blow my windcheck powder and it would just drop straight to the ground.
Finally, I made my way close enough I felt it was time to force his hand. It was somewhat open where I was. Basically, in a dirt strip that ran up and down the hillside for about 300 yards. I knew if he came out in this strip I would be able to see him. I only hoped he hadn't dropped down the hill at all, during my latest movements toward him.
It was time. I bugled, followed by a couple cow chirps directed downhill and away from where I last knew him to be.
Immediately he answered, almost not allowing me to finish my challenge.
I was concerned that he had faced away from me somewhat when he answered. I hadn't heard any cows with him yet, so I wasn't sure if he had any cows to defend or push away. I did know one thing, he was less than 100 yards away, on the other side of the strip and uphill. Uphill was good, as the sun was breaking over the top and wind currents were pushing my smell downhill and away from him.
I decided it was time to try the old trick that has sealed the deal in the past. I picked a doug fir arrow from my quiver, nocked it on the string of my recurve and laid it on the ground to be ready to access, in a split moment , if needed. I picked up a big dry branch and started to thrash the bush I was hiding behind.
That was it. He came unglued and headed straight at me. He popped out above me in the strip and walked across the opening. I thought he was going to move into the brush on my side and drop below me to try and wind me so I shifted around for a 15yard shot in an opening I thought he might get to before he was below me.
At the edge of the brush, he did a 180 and walked (more of a pacing actually) to the middle of the strip just above me. All the while, he was staying within 20 yards of me and had not detected me. I carefully and slowly turned again 180 degrees to prepare for a shot out from behind the brush pile in the opposite direction and into the open strip. As if on cue, he walked into the window I had picked and, I came to full draw and released in one fluid motion.
The wooden shaft hit it's mark and, on impact, blood poured from around the feather fletched wooden shaft sticking out his side.
He ran downhill at what seemed like 50+mph spilling blood out with every leap.
I watched him for the 150 yards of sprint he made in the open and as he turned hard left into the brush below, near the bottom end of the clear strip. It coudn't have been 5 seconds but, it seemed longer, and then, I heard the crashing of his beastly body as it hit the ground. At least, that is what I convinced myself I had heard.
I tried to calm myself. It's always more of a task when you're by yourself. I thought how I wished my son were here with me, to help calm me down and share in that moment.
I snacked and drank some water but, after a mere 15-20 minutes I could stand it no longer. I walked over to where the bull was when I hit him. There was blood and hair, I knew there would be. I decided I wanted to follow the entire tracks/bloodtrail he had left. Follow it all the way to where he entered the brush, and then, based on what I saw blood colorwise and amountwise, I would make a decision whether to sit longer or head in after him.
Just 40 yards from where I had hit him, on the blood trail, was half of the wooden shaft. It looked as if I had 3/4 penetration, judging from the blood on the arrow. All of the blood on the trail was out one side but, it was squirting and spurting with every leap and bound he made. It was really just as I had remembered it, when it was happening.
I made my way all the way to where he had turned into the brush and was convinced, even more so now by the amounts of blood seen, that he was down. It must have been him that I heard crash to the ground in the brush.
As I slowly moved into the brush, following the blood trail, an animal took off running. Actually it sounded like more of a trot. I thought to myself "now you've done it, you started after him too early and jumped him". as quickly as that thought entered my mind another came, "run at him and make sure it is him and make him bleed worse". Sounds rediculous, I know, after the fact but, it didn't at the time. I actually nearly caught up with the animal as it was going up the steep side of a draw. It was a cow and she was huffing and puffing trying to make it up the other side.
At that moment, of seeing the cow, a calming moment of relief came over me. I knew, in that exact moment, without a doubt, my bull was down. I believe she smelled his rank, rutting, musky odor and was near him when I spooked her. I moved directly toward where she had come from, which just happened to coincide with where I heard the crash earlier (go figure). This is what I saw as I approached the site
Now the work began. He was drapped over a log where he fell. I will spare everyone all the details but, I spent the next few hours trying unsuccessfully to reposition him so I could break him down. Eventually, I realized how much energy I was wasting on this. I decided to gut him and prop him open to cool. I then headed to the trailhead and camp to gather tools (come along, rathet straps and packboards) to better muscle him around and break him down.
Wen I returned, I was able to get him all bagged and laid out on a log, elevated off the ground, to allow cooling throughout the night until we could return.
I carried the head and rack out in the dark.
When I arrived at camp, my son was already there. I asked him if he had seen my note yet. He hadn't, so I walked him to the back of my pickup and opened the canopy. I should have had a camera right then, what a picture it would've been.
I was so happy he had brought the horses back with him. It was still up in the air whether he would when he had left on Wednesday evening.
The next morning we headed off with the horses and some gear to pack my bull out.
After the 2 or so mile ride in, we tied the horses up and headed into the brush and up the hill to move all the meat and gear down where we could get the horses to.
There was some bushwacking involved.
Then came the usual even out all the panniers and pack the horses.
As we came to the trailhead with the elk, a Game and Fish officer was pulling up. He said he had been on the opposite side of the canyon listening to us as we moved the elk to the horses and then pack to ride out. I'm guessing he wasprobably near where I had been the evening I had heard the elk bugling.
He looked familiar and I asked him if he was the same officer that had checked me the day I had shot an all drake limit of Goldeneye on the Salt River(back in December). He answered yes and said he remembered me. He actually inventoried all the meat to check we had not wasted any. He asked to see each quarter, back strap tenderloins and hamburger trim. He came to our camp and checked the head and antlers shortly after we returned there.
When we returned to camp, it wasn't long and the rest of the clan arrived. We butchered, wrapped and put most of the elk in the freezer.
Then there were some pictures taken of old Paw Paw and his elk head.
Then came the proclaimed family time, which lasted the duration of the weekend.
It was my daughter inlaw's B-day today. So, what else, a party next to the river.
Young Hunter played in camp with the friends he brought with him, the family GSPs
Here he is with Lily. Lily is the dog I wrote about that had had the accident with the horse.
The other 2 dogs were there too. Sage the old hunting dog and Scout, the pup we brought over on our August trip.
The following day, Hunter shot his bow with dad.
We broke camp and headed home. The weather was rolling in as we drove the 50 miles of rock to the hardtack.
My son had taken his skull in to the skull shop for dermestid beetle treatment, when he came back to town for work during the week. So, we went to the shop for a few pics of both racks together, for future records.
My Son and I still both have a cow tag each for the same area. I'll be headed back for a rifle hunt in October. Wish us luck.

PRINCETON, N.J. -- After four weeks of non-conference play the 2012 Ivy softball season progresses into the League portion of the schedule this weekend.
Last season, Harvard won the 2011 Ivy League title and claimed the League's automatic bid to the NCAA Championship field. The North Division Champion Crimson swept Cornell in the Ivy League Championship Series on May 7-8 in Cambridge, Mass., by shutting out the Big Red in back-to-back games, 5-0 and 4-0, to return to the NCAA Championship for the first time since 2007. Cornell had advanced to the Ivy Championship Series by winning the South Division for the third consecutive season, which they clinched with a final day win over Penn in a thrilling 1-0 game. It was the second straight season that culminated in a Harvard-Cornell Ivy League Championship Series.
Brown junior Stephanie Thompson had an impressive week at the plate for the Bears as they played five games at the UC Riverside Tournament in Riverside, Calif. She batted .667 with 12 hits in 18 at-bats, including a double, a triple and a homer on the week. She added five RBI and four runs scored and did not strike out in the five games. Thompson was last named Ivy League Player of the Week on March 15, 2011. She carries a five-game hitting streak into this weekend's Ivy League play.

Harvard sophomore Laura Ricciardone (Slidell, La.) led the Crimson to a split with Lehigh in a pair of weekend doubleheaders. She hurled a nine-inning shutout in game two on Sunday, scattering eight hits and fanning two in a game that Harvard eventually won, 1-0. She did not allow an earned run in 15 innings pitched and also recorded a pinch-hit single in Saturday's 3-1 win. With her teammate Rachel Brown earning the first three Pitcher of the Week Awards, the Crimson have claimed four consecutive Ivy League Pitcher of the Week honors to open the 2012 season. Ricciardone last earned the honor on April 5, 2011.

Dartmouth freshman Kristen Rumley (Katy, Texas) helped the Big Green in many ways last week. She recorded wins over Stetson and North Texas while striking out six in each of those victories. In her four appearances overall, she allowed just three runs on nine hits, with just one earned run 19.2 innings of work, good for a 1.07 ERA.
Rumley also paced to the Big Green offense. She got her first collegiate at bats in the doubleheader against Stetson and went 5-of-5 against the Hatters. She was also 2-of-4 against North Texas. For the week Rumley was 9-of-18 with three RBI. For the season, she leads the Big Green with a .474 batting average. In the circle, she has a team-best 2.39 ERA and leads the Big Green with 49 strikeouts. She is the first Dartmouth player to Ivy League Rookie of the Week honors since Hillary Hubert did so on April 20, 2010.

Ivy Title Talk
Dating back to 1980, the first season of Ivy League softball play, six Ivy teams have combined for 35 titles in the 32 seasons of play. Yale won the inaugural title in 1980, while Princeton leads the League with 17 titles. Cornell, Brown and Harvard each have five titles, followed by Yale (2) and Penn (1). In 2010, Cornell prevailed in Game 3 of the Championship Series over Harvard, 3-2, for its second title in as many seasons, before Harvard halted that streak by sweeping the Big Red in 2011.
The softball championship series, which pits the regular season champions of the North and South Divisions against each other, began in 2007. That season, Harvard defeated Penn in consecutive games to win the first Ivy League Championship Series. The Cimson have represented the North in four of the five League Championships series (all but 2009 when Dartmouth won the North Divison).

Since the Ivy schedule format change in 2007, a team has finished with 17 or more League wins five times and won its division on each of those five occasions. In 2008, Princeton set the record with an 18-2 mark en route to claiming the South Division title. In 2009, Cornell became the second team to crack the 17-Ivy win plateau with a 17-3 record to take the South Division. Then in 2010, both the North (Harvard) and South (Cornell) Division winners reached 17-wins. In 2011, Harvard tied for the most League wins all-time at 18-2 while becoming the fifth squad to win at least 17 Ivy games and win its division.

I have learned a new word this week: cyberchondria. It basically means giving yourself the willies by self-diagnosing on the internet. It's something that comes up a lot in my life, as more of my patients are doing it. I'm frequently asked about it in interviews, and I make TV shows with associated websites that positively encourage it.
Londoners are particularly fond of using the internet to diagnose, usually because of time constraints, but there are right and wrong ways of going about it.
Writer Malcolm Gladwell reckons it takes 10,000 hours to make an expert. A junior doctor's first year probably covers about 4,000 hours and consists mainly of learning just one thing: who is really sick and who isn't. That can be very difficult indeed, and there is still a long way to go after that. So it stands to reason that an amateur attempt at armchair diagnosis may often be unsuccessful. It's very hard to remain emotionally detached when diagnosing oneself, and to apply cool logic when sifting through possible diseases. The temptation to apply the worst you come across is strangely powerful.
Scientists at Microsoft analysed the internet behaviour of a million surfers around the world to discover how it is giving many of us rare but imaginary diseases. One of the main reasons is that common diseases don't feature much in writings — they are dull. Exciting things such as brain tumours do, and so are frequently present in searches for headaches, even though they are rare.
One of the most useful pieces of advice I was given in medicine is to apply a little rule called Occam's Razor. It can be interpreted in many different ways but I like to explain it simply as: "Common things are common". A more colourful version is: "If you hear hooves, think horses not zebras".
This gem has proved itself right time and again and reminds you that you are more likely to have something that everyone gets rather than a rarity.
Our innate hypochondria will make our internet diagnoses wrong 99 per cent of the time because we will likely have a common problem. Even the uncommon is likely only to be an uncommon manifestation of a common disease, rather than a common manifestation of an uncommon disease.
I'm a fan of patients looking things up. I think the internet has made patients more interested in their own health and more inquisitive about things they can do to help themselves. It also keeps us doctors on our toes, otherwise our patients know more than us.
The one big stumbling block is the quality of the information available. Medical websites have improved over the years but as a general rule of thumb, if a web address ends in .edu or .org, the content is less likely to be tosh. A .com suffix usually indicates business sponsorship, so I urge more scepticism. I generally steer well clear of one-man bands.

text: I have 2 Tivo TCD652160 HD's. They both used the dreaded Brighthouse tunning adapters. They both use linksys wireless bridges (but I have ran a cat5 cord right to the modem, it makes no difference.) About 2 months ago they both started the "guide data will run out" stuff" although they had both successfully connected. The living room one has had 1tb drive that I but in for about 3 years and has been working well. Other than restarting it and forcing it to connect I have not done anything to it. The one in my bedroom had a 3 month old 2TB drive that I put in using the original drive image. I got that one stuck in the in the "guided set up." I replaced the drive with a spare one and the original drive as a source and it has been working fine for about a week. Now it is back to doing the S03 error. They both do exactly the same thing. They get all the way to either "loading"or "Preparing to load". I am thinking the it is not my units that are the problem. It is really hard to believe that I have 2 units and 3 drives that are all sick. I am thinking Brighthouse changed something, but I didnt really want to try using the "guided set up" since that got me stuck in loop the first time. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure what my thought process was with that one. I actually can't even begin to explain why I thought it would be a fun idea, but then again I don't know why I did most things.
In third grade, my antics started to land me in trouble. I had a habit of disrupting class, especially during science. I couldn't be bothered to learn the difference between herbivores and carnivores, or what caused rain. In my mind, "rain is magic" was a suitable answer for weather patterns, and I spent most of the daily science lessons drawing pictures and quietly passing them to the girl who sat next to me in class, Lee Sugars.
I had a crush on Lee, but I also hated her guts, and I think the feeling was mutual. As a result, every note I passed her was either mean, or disgusting, or both.
I had a tendency to take whatever recent lesson was being taught and turn it into an inappropriate doodle: Helen Keller with giant torpedo boobs, two Martin Luther Kings making out (sometimes with torpedo boobs of their own), and so on. Because of this, my teacher Mrs. Bateson hated me. She sent me to the principal's office literally every week, and even though I usually deserved it, I still felt like a child martyr and detested Mrs. Bateson for what I deemed to be unfair prosecution.
She also looked like a thumb, which only added to my dislike of her.
Mrs. Bateson finally drew the line in October that year. The class was making jack-o-lanterns out of construction paper and she'd put on a CD of Halloween sound effects—rattling chains, crackling thunder, yowling cats and the like. When Derek Stevens got squeamish at the sound of beating hearts and nervously asked Mrs. Bateson to turn the CD off, I loudly told him to "quit being a pussy."
In my defense, I didn't even know what a pussy was. I barely knew what a vagina was, let alone its noms de guerre. Hell, I still thought girls peed out their butts. I thought "pussy" was a gently mocking term, synonymous with "wimp" or "wuss," so I was baffled when Mrs. Bateson lost her shit over it.
I wasn't sure how to respond. I truly didn't know what was so offensive about what I'd said, but Mrs. Bateson wasn't having it. At recess, she made me stay behind to discuss my behavior.
"Adam, you can't use that word," she told me. "It's not a nice word."
"Yeah, ok, sorry, I won't do it again. Now can I go? I can hear them starting foursquare and—"
"We have to discuss your punishment." I narrowed my eyes at her suspiciouly. There was a field trip scheduled that afternoon to tour the Hancock Ice Cream Factory, and everyone in class was excited for the ice cream we'd inevitably get at the end of the tour. I was nervous my punishment might involve the field trip. Mrs Bateson continued, "I think it's only fair that during the field trip this afternoon, you shouldn't be rewarded with ice cream like everyone else."
I couldn't muster any words, I could only stare at Mrs. Bateson, who herself seemed unfazed. I could almost make out the hint of a smile on her thumb-face.
I knew from experience that I couldn't argue with her. I pouted through lunch, scowled through the van ride to the ice cream factory, and lingered in the back of the group frowning while a cheery, elderly woman in an apron pandered to us about how interesting the history of ice cream was.
At the end of the tour the cheery lady handed out cones to everyone—except for me, of course. Mrs. Bateson took the ice cream lady aside and explained that I was a demon child and didn't deserve treats, so I was forced to watch everyone else enjoy ice cream around me. I was stewing in disgruntled self pity when Lee Sugars sauntered up to me, a cheshire cat grin plastered across her face.
"You can have my cone, Adam," she said sweetly." I don't even like ice cream." I gave her a cautious side-eye, but my gluttony overtook me and I accepted her offer.
My tongue had barely touched the chilly sweetness of Huckleberry ice cream when Lee turned away from me and hollered to Mrs. Bateson.
Mrs. Bateson turned and shot daggers at me with her eyes.
As the group was ushered out into the parking lot, I leaned in and whispered into Lee's ear.
During the van ride back I kept my eyes fixed on Lee, willing her to spontaneously burst into flames. I fantasized about the van crashing into a semi truck of toxic waste, which would spill on Lee and burn her skin off. The entire time, she grinned back at me like a smug weasel.
When we arrived back at school and one of the chaperones opened the van's sliding door, I unbuckled my seatbelt and angled toward Lee before hopping out of the vehicle. "This isn't over," I told her. She glared back at me, her stare icy. I shifted away and scooted across the seat but before I could hop down to the sidewalk, I felt a forceful pair of hands on my back and before I knew it I was flying out of my seat. I hardly registered that Lee had pushed me—I was falling, face first, toward the pavement. It was only a few feet, but to a child it seemed an eternity. Time seemed to slow as I careened toward the concrete.
I landed on the right side of my forehead. The sound from inside my own skull was sickening, like having your head inside ceramic vase and someone whacking it with a hammer, except my head was the vase and the earth was the hammer. After the collision I remember little. Chaperones clamored around me, kids murmured and were shooed away. The aftermath is a blur, but I recall being seated in the nurse's office, a kindly young redheaded nurse holding a bag of ice to my forehead, and myself screaming and screaming with tears running down my face.
In retrospect, I don't accurately remember the pain, just shrieking nonstop like I was dying because the pain was so severe. "Your mom will be here at 3:30," the nurse told me. "Just try to calm down until then." I glanced at the the clock. It was only 2:30. I could see the principal in his office. He was talking to someone on the phone, laughing jovially like nothing was wrong. Why was nobody worried about my injury? Why wasn't I in the hospital? I might've had a concussion, or maybe cerebral edema. There might be internal bleeding!
I thought of Mrs. Bateson, up in room 227, chuckling to herself that her least favorite student was downstairs dying from massive head trauma.
Nobody took things seriously in the 90's. Teachers didn't need to worry about their shortcomings being captured on camera phones and uploaded on YouTube. Kids were too busy huffing scented markers to notice they were being neglected by their caretakers. It was no wonder the administration couldn't care less. If they just kept me contained until the end of the school day, I'd be my mom's problem.
When my mother did arrive to pick me up, I barely noticed because I was too busy howling.
The office aide told my mom that I'd fallen out of the van, even though I'd spent the last hour screaming that Lee Sugars had shoved me.
I probably should have gone to the hospital, but like I said, it was the 90's. This was before Gwyneth Paltrow taught us that bread is poison, before we knew measles vaccinations caused children to mutate into lizard monsters.
The next day, I had a big bump on my forehead where I'd landed. The swelling went down, but the bump never disappeared completely. It actually changed the shape of my skull slightly, and the lump can still be felt.
I feel like that bears repeating. I'm 26, and I still have a bump on my head from when I fell out of a van eighteen years ago.
Is it too late to sue? What's Gloria Allred's email? I'm assuming it's firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes
Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt and starring James Franco, Freida Pinto, John Lithgow, Brian Cox, Tom Felton, David Oyelowo, and Andy Serkis. Written by Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver, it is 20th Century Fox's reboot of the Planet of the Apes series, intended to act as an origin story for a new series of films.[6] Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake of that film.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes was released on August 5, 2011, to critical and commercial success. The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. It was also nominated for five Saturn Awards including Best Director for Wyatt and Best Writing for Jaffa and Silver, winning Best Science Fiction Film, Best Supporting Actor for Serkis and Best Special Effects. Serkis' performance as Caesar was widely acclaimed, earning him many nominations from many associations which do not usually recognize performance capture as traditional acting. A sequel to the film, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, was released on July 11, 2014, and a third film, War for the Planet of the Apes, is planned for a July 14, 2017 release.
Will Rodman, a scientist at the San Francisco biotech company Gen-Sys, is testing the viral-based drug ALZ-112 on chimpanzees to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease. ALZ-112 is given to a chimp named Bright Eyes, greatly increasing her intelligence. However, during Will's presentation for the drug, Bright Eyes is forced from her cage, goes on a rampage, and is killed. Will's boss Steven Jacobs terminates the project and has the chimps euthanized. However, Will's assistant Robert Franklin discovers that the reason for Bright Eyes' rampage was that she had recently given birth to an infant chimp. Will agrees to take in the chimp, who is named Caesar. Will learns that Caesar has inherited his mother's intelligence and decides to raise him. Three years later, Will introduces Caesar to the redwood forest at Muir Woods National Monument. Meanwhile, Will treats his dementia-suffering father Charles with ALZ-112, which seems to restore his cognitive ability.
Five years later, when Caesar reaches adolescence and sees a dog on a leash like his own, he questions his identity and learns of his origins from Will. Meanwhile, Charles's condition returns as he becomes resistant to ALZ-112. Caesar injures a neighbor, Douglas Hunsiker, while defending a confused Charles. As a result, he is placed in a primate shelter where he is treated cruelly by the other chimps and the chief guard, Dodge Landon. Caesar learns how to unlock his cage, gaining free access to the common area. With the assistance of a gorilla named Buck, he confronts the sanctuary's alpha chimp named Rocket and claims that position. Meanwhile, Jacobs clears development of a more powerful, gaseous version of the drug – ALZ-113 – when Will tells him it can also improve intelligence. Will takes the drug home to try to save his father, but Charles declines further treatment and dies overnight.
After attempting to test the drug on a scarred bonobo test subject named Koba, Franklin becomes exposed to ALZ-113 and becomes ill. Attempting to warn Will at his home, he sneezes blood onto Hunsiker. Franklin is later found dead. Will attempts to reclaim Caesar, but the chimp refuses to go home with him. Instead, he escapes from the facility and returns to Will's house, where he takes canisters of the ALZ-113. Upon returning, Caesar releases the gas and allows it to enhance the intelligence of the other apes. When Dodge attempts to get him back into his cage, Caesar speaks for the first time, yelling "No!" and then unintentionally electrocuting him to death. The apes flee the facility, release the remaining chimps from Gen-Sys, and free more apes from the San Francisco Zoo.
A battle ensues as the ape army fights their way past a police blockade on the Golden Gate Bridge to escape into the redwood forest. Buck sacrifices himself to save Caesar by jumping into the helicopter in which Jacobs is riding. The helicopter crashes onto the bridge, trapping Jacobs in the wreckage. Jacobs is then killed by Koba. As the apes find their way into the forest, Will arrives and warns Caesar that the humans will hunt them down, and begs him to return home. In response, Caesar hugs him and says that, "Caesar is home." Will, realizing that this is indeed their last goodbye, respects Caesar's wishes. The apes embrace their new lifestyle in the forest.
In a mid-credits scene, an infected Hunsiker leaves his house for work as an airline pilot, arriving at San Francisco International Airport for his flight to Paris. His nose begins to drip blood onto the floor. A graphic traces the spread of the humanity-ravaging virus around the globe via international flight routes.
- James Franco as Dr. William "Will" Rodman, a scientist who is trying to discover a cure for his father's Alzheimer's disease by testing ALZ-112 on chimps. He is a father figure to Caesar. James Franco was cast after talks with Tobey Maguire broke down.[7][8]

Development and writingEdit
In 2006, screenwriter-producer Rick Jaffa was searching for a script idea. As Jaffa searched a newspaper articles clipping, one about pet chimpanzees that become troublesome to their owners and heartbroken for not adapting well to the human environment intrigued him. As Jaffa eventually realized it fit the Planet of the Apes series, he called his wife and screenwriting partner Amanda Silver to express his ideas of such a chimpanzee eventually starting the ape revolution, and then the couple started developing the character of Caesar. Jaffa indicated that "it's a reinvention" and if he had to pick between calling it a prequel or a reboot he would say it is a reboot: "It's a different story of who Caesar is, and how he came to be. So it's really kind of hard to put a label on it. We are hopefully rebooting it." He went on to say that "we tried really hard to create a story that would stand on its own and yet also pay homage and honor the movies that came before us."[9] Jaffa and Silver then wrote a script and sold it to Fox, producers of the Apes franchise. The script added other elements which the couple had researched, such as genetic engineering.[10] Several tributes to specific scenes, characters, and cast and crew from the previous Apes film series were added in the script. In particular, Caesar's treatment at the primate sanctuary parallels Taylor's treatment as a captive in the original film.[11][12]
In a segment of a video blog post, director Rupert Wyatt commented on the originality of the plot: "This is part of the mythology and it should be seen as that. It's not a continuation of the other films; it's an original story. It does satisfy the people who enjoy those films. The point of this film is to achieve that and to bring that fan base into this film exactly like Batman Begins."[6] In a 2009 interview, Wyatt said, "We've incorporated elements from Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, in terms of how the apes begin to revolt, but this is primarily a prequel to the 1968 film...Caesar is a revolutionary figure who will be talked about by his fellow apes for centuries...This is just the first step in the evolution of the apes, and there's a lot more stories to tell after this. I imagine the next film will be about the all-out war between the apes and humans."[13] Mark Bomback did an uncredited rewrite of the script.[14]
Filming began in July 2010 in Vancouver, British Columbia.[15] Filming also happened in San Francisco, California (the primary setting of the film),[15] and around Oahu, Hawaii, which doubled for the African jungle as the schedule and budget did not allow for location shooting in Africa.[16]
Visual effectsEdit
As the apes in Rise were meant to be actual primates, the producers decided not to use actors in ape suits. After considering real apes, instead Weta Digital created the apes digitally in almost every case through performance capture.[17] Advances in the technology allowed the use of performance capture in an exterior environment, affording the film-makers the freedom to shoot much of the film on location with other actors, as opposed to the confines of a soundstage.[18][19] The main breakthrough was a camera that enabled viewing the motion capture dots in daylight, employed mostly for the Golden Gate Bridge battle. A maximum of six actors could have their movements captured, with larger ape crowds using fully digital animals animated using Weta's move library. The Golden Gate Bridge set used both a physical set which was extended digitally, and a fully computer-generated model of the bridge that also included the ocean and nearby hills.[20]
After shooting the actors playing humans interacting with others wearing the motion capture suits, a clean plate was shot with actors for extra reference. Actor-stuntman Terry Notary guided the actors on realistic ape movement, while Weta studied the chimps in the Wellington zoo for reference. The digital apes also received detailed models with skeletons, muscles and nerve tissue layers for accurate animation. Cast models of apes' heads and limbs helped the texture department replicate skin details such as wrinkles and pores. Given the difference between human and chimpanzee facial muscles, the animators tweaked the performance through a new facial muscle system adding dynamics, ballistics, and secondary motion. As the silent performance required expressive eyes, a new eye model was made to depict both greater accuracy in muscle movement in and around the eyes, and also tears, pupil dilation, and light refraction.[17][21] While Andy Serkis was the primary performer for Caesar, as the effects team considered that at times "Andy overcame the character," other motion capture team actors were also used, especially Devyn Dalton, whose height matched that of a chimpanzee. Along with that, they used Notary to play Caesar in stunt-filled scenes such as the Golden Gate Bridge scene.[22]
The score for the film was written by Patrick Doyle and performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony conducted by James Shearman.[23] The main concern was to have the music help progress the plot in the scenes without dialogue, for instance, conveying the emotions of Caesar's relationships with Will and Charles. To turn the score into a "driving force that keeps audiences paying attention," Doyle employed an African-American chorus and focused on percussion and "low and deep" orchestra sounds. Doyle collaborated closely with the sound department to make the music complement the sound effects, including writing a recurring theme based on their recording of a chimpanzee.[24]
Critical responseEdit
Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports an 81% "Certified Fresh" rating, and an average rating of 7.1/10, based on 251 reviews. The site's critical consensus is: "Led by Rupert Wyatt's stylish direction, some impressive special effects, and a mesmerizing performance by Andy Serkis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes breathes unlikely new life into a long-running franchise."[25] Another review aggregator, Metacritic, reports a score of 68 based on 39 reviews.[26]
Roger Ebert gave the film 3 out of 4 stars and praised the role of Caesar and Andy Serkis by stating it was a "wonderfully executed character" and "one never knows exactly where the human ends and the effects begin, but Serkis and/or Caesar gives the best performance in the movie."[27] Giving the film 5 out of 5 stars, Joe Neumaier of Daily News labelled Rise of the Planet of the Apes as the summer's best popcorn flick.[28] Nick Pinkerton of The Village Voice wrote, "Caesar's prison conversion to charismatic pan-ape revolutionist is near-silent filmmaking, with simple and precise images illustrating Caesar's General-like divining of personalities and his organization of a group from chaos to order."[29] Roger Moore of Orlando Sentinel wrote, "Audacious, violent and disquieting, "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is a summer sequel that's better than it has any right to be." He gave the film 3.5 out of 4 stars.[30] Manohla Dargis of The New York Times praised the film by saying, "Precisely the kind of summer diversion that the studios have such a hard time making now.

Regarding the story setting up possible sequels, director Rupert Wyatt commented: "I think we're ending with certain questions, which is quite exciting. To me, I can think of all sorts of sequels to this film, but this is just the beginning."[50] Screenwriter and producer Rick Jaffa also stated that Rise of the Planet of the Apes would feature several clues as to future sequels: "I hope that we're building a platform for future films. We're trying to plant a lot of the seeds for a lot of the things you are talking about in terms of the different apes and so forth."[6]
On May 31, 2012, 20th Century Fox announced that the sequel would be named Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.[51] Reports said that Wyatt was leaving the sequel due to his concern that a May 2014 release date would not give him enough time to properly make the film;[52] he was replaced by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves.[53] Jaffa and Silver returned as producers and to pen the screenplay, with rewrites from Scott Z. Burns[54] and Mark Bomback.[14]
Taking place ten years after Rise, Dawn follows Caesar's growing nation of evolved apes threatened by human survivors that put both sides in the brink of war.[citation needed] Andy Serkis, Terry Notary and Karin Konoval reprised their roles as Caesar, Rocket and Maurice.[55] James Franco returned as Will Rodman in a "cameo via video".[56] Judy Greer and Toby Kebbell replace Devyn Dalton and Christopher Gordon as Cornelia and Koba, respectively.[citation needed] Filming of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes started on North Vancouver Island in April 2013.[57] The film was released July 11, 2014.
On January 6, 2014, 20th Century Fox announced a third installment with Reeves returning to direct and co-write along with Bomback, with a planned July 2016 release.[58][59] In January 2015, Fox delayed the release to July 14, 2017.[60][61] On May 14, 2015, the title was given as War of the Planet of the Apes,[62] later re-titled to War for the Planet of the Apes.

pergola framing ?
i am planning on adding brackets on the end wall of my addition that stick out 3' and creating a pergola roof to bock some sun. I didn't want to run tall header beams but maybe a double or triple 2x6 or 2x8....
how far apart can I span these brackets? thanks
It is a free country, you can span them however much you want on your own property.
I think there's no standard size for a pergola frame. So far I've seen pergola frame about 12x16-20. There shouldn't be a problem with the size you have in mind.
is there a recommended span between supports? I am looking at around 12' to 18' between supporting brackets..... and don't want it to sag in the middle in time.....

Stepladders, a household product used by thousands of people every day, are a surprisingly common cause of injury. In 2009, more than 187,000 Americans visited the hospital after sustaining stepladder injuries, many of which resulted from a fall. A recent human factors/ergonomics study explores how improved design and user behavior can decrease the likelihood of future accidents.
In their upcoming HFES 55th Annual Meeting presentation, "The Role of Human Balance in Stepladder Accidents," HF/E researchers Daniel Tichon, Lowell Baker, and Irving Ojalvo review research regarding loss of balance and describe possible solutions to stepladder hazards.
Compared with a flat surface, stepladders present a smaller and less rigid surface on which to stand, and the narrow steps make it easier for a person to lose his or her balance. While standing on a stepladder, users may not be able to take a step to regain their balance or grab something to steady themselves, particularly while holding tools or other objects.
"In order to most effectively improve the safety of ladders, the causation of accident needs to be analyzed and better understood," Baker says. "In many of the cases we have investigated, the claimed cause of ladder accidents is that the person 'just lost their balance,' or 'just fell.' This raises several questions, including what factors cause someone to lose his or her balance in general, how a fall from a ladder can be precipitated by disturbances that would not lead to a fall for a person standing on the ground, and how ladders can be designed and used to minimize the risk of a fall."
The authors believe that both designers and users can make a number of changes to reduce injuries. For example, the ladder could be more rigid to provide a stable work platform, which could offset human balance problems. Front and rear rails could be manufactured with closed tubular sections and with cross-shaped spreader bars.
Users should be warned to avoid excessively reaching or looking above their heads while standing on a too-small stepladder, as this can cause them to sway and lose their balance. The person's age can exacerbate this, as older users cannot reach as far or maintain balance as well as younger ones. Using a taller ladder can mitigate this added risk and also provides something stable to grip. Choice of footwear makes a difference; shoes with thin, hard soles can improve balance and stability.

Waterborne and DHEC.
We all know about the laws from dhec becoming stricter year after year. Heck I was handed a paper the other day that requires me to write down what day my booth runs and how long it runs and that I have inspected all my filters that day.
Question is...how do all these rules comply with waterborne paints? If you switch to a total waterborne system (including your clears and all) what happens then? I can't seem to get an answer anywhere...it's almost like a "DOH!" response when I ask anyone. Anyone have any insight? Do waterborne systems still emit some sort of contaminant into the air or what?
Who issued the paper?, Is this a city thing, sounds like it?
Yes if it is a real requirement in your city/ state then waterborne base is not going to change a thing and of course they are coming out with more low VOC bases for people who are having problems using waterborne and either way all the solvents are not gone, so I would guess the paper work must be done.
Next major law I know of is sometime in 2011 or close to that and one of the changes is a paint booth is mandatory.
Waterborne clear?LOL, That would solve your problem as you would be out of business in six months or as soon as an irate customer shot you, whatever comes first.
Just got to thinking, I do believe there is a law from 2007-2008 for paint strippers as far as booth requirements and if I'm right off top of head, soda would fall under this, of course.
yes it is a city / state thing. I will be attending a meeting in December where dhec is going to be coming in and talking to us. Pretty soon you are going to have to be certified to have a paint booth (maybe you already do?) and be a certified "spray technician" to spray in it. crazy.

Not sure I saw this ask or you mention it, but which model gauges are those? I love how they look and the Prosport EVO's I have in now I'm getting bored with and I love your look. I have the SMY cluster too and hate how expensive it is...but man is it worth it once you have it in.

Installed one of the Sparco Milano's today. The blackish gray Alcantara looks pretty good, but the other seat is off at JPM Coachworks to get some custom work done. Once that seat is done...we'll do this one as well, so this look is temporary. :devil:
A better shot of the Sparco Milano before the custom work is done to it.

ProTuned Stage 3ish '11 WRX Ltd HB (SWP) ~ 354 awhp 404 ft-lb tq on E85
Friends don't let friends drive Mitsubishis.
The main reason behind doing the seats was actually difficulty I am having with issues in my lower back. The stock seats provide basically zero lumbar support and these Sparco's have an adjustable lumbar. The stock seats were just killing me on longer drives...especially in the mountains where I felt like my core was having to strain too much to keep my body in the seat. These feel much better already. I just wish Subaru would give us the Recaro option so I could have just ordered that from the start! That said...once JPM gets finished doing the custom work to the seats...they are going to flow much better with the interior.
Also...the modding isn't done yet and some track days are in the works.

Some 40 percent of Japanese aged 20 or over feel they are not well off, while fewer than 10 percent think they are financially comfortable, a Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry poll showed, pointing to particularly high rates among unemployed men, whose ranks include those aged 80 and older.
Released Wednesday, the survey, conducted last July by the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, an affiliate of the ministry, covered around 21,000 people at some 11,000 households nationwide.
Some 30 percent of the respondents said their budgets were rather tight, while around 10 percent said they had a very difficult time making ends meet.
The combined proportion of respondents who said they were rather well off or very well off was less than 10 percent. About half of all respondents said they were leading normal lives.
The proportion of those who said they were not well off was the highest among jobless men in their 40s, at 71.9 percent, followed by jobless men in their 30s, at 66.9 percent. The lowest figure was 22.4 percent for unemployed men aged 80 or over and unemployed women in the same age bracket.
Some 40 percent of the respondents said that their standard of living had worsened somewhat or considerably compared with five years before. Around half of the respondents said it had not changed.
Asked about the influence of the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, 17.6 percent of the respondents said their bonds with members of their families and friends had become stronger.
A total of 10.4 percent said their income had dropped after the disaster. The proportion stood at 19.9 percent among men in their late 40s. The survey is conducted every five years.

The Future Is Ours – Make It So
And then, one Thursday, nearly two thousand years after one man had been nailed to a tree for saying how great it would be to be nice to people for a change, a girl sitting on her own in a small café in Rickmansworth suddenly realized what it was that had been going wrong all this time, and she finally knew how the world could be made a good and happy place. This time it was right, it would work, and no one would have to get nailed to anything. - Douglas Adams. I think I've quoted that here … [Read more...]

Because It Deserves Repeating – Dr Pamela Gay's Speech At #TAM2012
The "Stopping Harassment Starts Here" T-shirts at TAM (image of graphic above) are shirts I had printed with my own money to sell to raise money for the AAUW Legal Advocacy Fund, which pays for legal aid for women facing gender discrimination in education and the workplace. These shirts are in purple, which is the color of domestic violence awareness, animal cruelty prevention, and LGBTQ Awareness. These are all issues I care about.If you're at TAM and you'd consider raising your own voice agai … [Read more...]

Happy Second Birthday To The Michigan Skeptics Association!
About a month or so ago, Adam Bourque got in touch with me about a celebration that they're having over in Michigan.Now, since I'm in one of the most isolated cities in the world, on the other side of the planet, you might wonder why I was keen to contribute. Well, firstly, if there's any skeptical group who needs a hand (just ask the number of Australian SkeptiCamps that I've sponsored or donated or just plain promoted over the years, even groups like NYC Skeptics or QEDCon!), I'll try to … [Read more...]

On Podcasting, Skepticism, Atheism… And Truffles
Podfade - "Podcasting has drawn thousands on the premise that anyone can create an audio program, build an audience online and even vault to stardom. Less celebrated is the fact that untold numbers of shows just wink out just as suddenly as they started." - Podfading Takes It's Toll, Wired, 2008. "We Should Totally Do A Podcast!" - Shit Skeptics Say. One of the things I pretty much inadvertently did with the book The Scope of Skepticism (I know, I know - but it's new and all and I've nearly sold … [Read more...]

About two hours north of Green Bay, Wisconsin past idyllic countryside, dairy farms and wide open roads sits the small town of Crandon, where the peaceful silence of nature is replaced by the roar of 900 horsepower engines competing in The Off-Road Racing Championship (TORC) battling for victory while jumping, drifting and wrecking at the world famous Big House. We had an all-access pass to Jarit and Jessie Johnson from team Husqvarna as they continued their race for the championship.
When daydreaming of a classic summer road trip vehicle, a pickup truck is not what normally springs to mind -- especially a massive 5,800-pound one that gets 17 mpg.
