Archive for the 'Television' Category
I wanted to love "Once Upon a Time." I think I did at one time. With such a large cast, there are characters we're going to love and ones we're going to hate. It's inevitable. And while I did favor the villains (Regina, Mr. Gold, etc), I always had a soft spot for the "good guys." That is, until this current season, when I came to a realization about this show: it's really all about Emma.
And the worst part is, she knows it. I mean, most shows do gravitate around a particular character and the difficulties they encounter, the struggles they've endured. But a kind of "reset button" is pushed from week to week that sort of grounds said character. Not Emma. I've watched her character develop, and it's amazing self absorbed she is!
Emma is the savior. She's the daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. She's got magic, and she's powerful. And recently we've learned that at one point she had a special relationship with Elsa and Anna's aunt (bringing Frozen into "Once Upon a Time" this quickly? That's a rant for another day). Is there anything this girl isn't? Can we don her with the title, "Creator of the Universe?" Maybe she should be worshipped like a female deity – more than she already is now, of course. Hmmm…
Her narcissism is astounding, though. What I find particularly non-humbling about her is how prepared she is for everything to be about her. When something bad happens, she immediately thinks it has something to do with her even if that motive isn't clear at all yet because that's the way she is. It HAS to be about her. It just HAS to. Because Emma is the air we breathe, the ground we walk on. Emma is beyond human comprehension.
Most everyone around her is falling over backwards to help her with anything she needs, and she eats it up. Every villain that they encounter has SOMETHING to do with Emma. They want her because she's super powerful, she's the link to something else, she's the freakin' savior and they need to destroy her – like I said, it's ALL about Emma.
And the sad part is, she's not really that complex of a character. Ok, she had a rough childhood. That sucks. She's what? 30-something now though, right? I mean, there comes a time when she has to stop whining. The recurring guilt trips on her parents makes her even more endearing (insert eye roll). So perhaps they shouldn't have sent her through the portal, and taken the risk that she'd be slain. Whatever position you take on this issue, it's becoming clear that Emma's just a whiny wannabe teenager.
She actually brings very little to the table. She lacks maneuverability, and has very few talents. She's brash, impulsive and her decision-making skills leave much to be desired. She has magic, yet cannot figure out how to master it yet. She makes a mess of her own life and everyone else's around her. And everyone wants to destroy her because she's the epicenter of the "Once Upon a Time" universe. And boohoo, her parents sent her through the portal as a baby, blah, blah, blah. Rinse and repeat.
And this constant Emma obsession has left other characters – ones like Regina and Gold who actually have layers to them – to be underexplored. My only hope is one day we'll really get to delve into the characters a bit and give Emma some much needed rest. Or at least write her to be less self-absorbed. That'd be great.
Any dedicated fan of the show has no doubt witnessed what our favorite group of survivors has had to endure throughout their time in the apocalypse. Life as they once knew it is gone, and the constant search for food, water and supplies (along with the brutality of their environment) takes its daily toll.
And as the story continues, we can see how the characters change – some for the better, and some for the worse. But perhaps the most dramatic and controversial change can be seen in the inhabitants of Terminus.
[Spoiler Alert – if you're not up to speed on TWD, stop reading here!]
So what do we know about Terminus? We know that it was once a safe haven for survivors. It was a legitimate sanctuary. And we know that they were over run at some point by rapists and pillagers. After enduring horrific torture and punishment, the "Termites" did eventually take it back and exacted their revenge (did they actually eat the bad dudes? Do we know for certain? In any event, revenge was dished out).
Here's the moral dilemma — because of what they endured, do they have a right to be the way they are? In other words, are they excused from having to follow a basic moral code that's unspoken but goes something like, "We shall not eat other people, ever"? Is what they endured so horrible, that going forward they have the right to trap innocent people, thus butchering them and processing them for food?
Seeing as how we don't live in a zombie apocalypse (yet), it's hard to see things from their perspective — from a survival-at-all-costs point of view. But I subscribe to the theory that there comes a point where they cannot use the terrible things that were done to them as an excuse. They took their camp back and punished their captors. What does that mean for all of the other people who have wandered into the camp? Did Rick and the gang deserve to be eaten because of crimes committed by others?
Perhaps the most haunting aspect of this comes next. When the gang escapes, Rick wants to kill each and every one of them, yet a few step in and tell him to let them be. Well, for those who have watched what happens to Bob, it becomes crystal clear that if Rick had been permitted to kill the remaining "Termites," then Bob wouldn't be the main course of a cannibal banquet right about now (a Bob-beque, perhaps?). Talk about hindsight being 20/20. (A side note… he was crying outside when they captured him — can we deduce that perhaps he was bitten? Does this mean that the Termites could be eating infected meat? Or, when cooked to a certain temperature, will the virus die inside human flesh?)
Where do you weigh in on this issue? Were the people of Terminus justified, or had they gone too far?
With the vast array of television entertainment available to us today, many of the shows and characters seem perpetually boring and terribly predictable. So when I finally come across one that stands apart from the rest, one that really causes me to reconsider everything that I've ever known to be true, I know I've found something (or someone) special. And this is the point of this new series of articles I'll be writing – to share, in detail, everything I can about a character that is worthy to be discussed. I'll try to ensure that the shows are current and are still running, but there might be times when I revisit ones that are no longer airing because, yes, the person of interest is that important to warrant a visit back in time.
So let's talk True Blood, shall we? And if you watch the show, you are more than acquainted with the lovely yet troubled Tara Thorton.
Tara walks around Bon Temps with a chip on her shoulder, a roughness that exudes from her very core. We find out through the progression of the show (not discussing the book form this time around, just HBO's version) that she came from a rough home life. Her mother was an alcoholic, and quite often Tara would find refuge at Sookie's grandmother's home. The girls grew up as best friends, but did Tara's rough beginning cause her to be as jaded as she is? I mean, Sookie and Jason lost their parents at a young age, and neither have as much hatred toward the world as Tara does.
But as she ages, life doesn't get any better for Tara. She lives through a series of terrible events – mostly at the hands of vampires. From the death of Eggs to being kidnapped and raped by the vampire Franklin, to the breakup with her girlfriend from New Orleans, Tara is a mess. And yet, in probably the most selfless act imaginable, she gives her life to save Sookie's – who then has her turned into a vampire because she can't live without Tara. Selflessness is repaid with selfishness.
Tara contains varying degrees of rage and has shown herself to be vicious with both words and actions. I don't believe she deserves the bad rap that she seems to get from the other cast members. Life isn't fair; we all know this. Tara has had her share of hard knocks, some of which would bring the much of the world down to their knees. Yet she's still standing.
Make no mistake; Tara is a survivor. While she does have a very well-hidden and barely visible soft side, she will do whatever she has to do in order to ensure her survival. And for her, it's a day by day basis. This girl falls into the worst kind of bad luck imaginable. It makes one wonder what she could've possible done to piss karma off as the attacks are unrelenting. As I watch season after season unfold, I continually ask myself, "How much can one girl take?"
Yet through all of this, she just wants to be loved. I know, I know – it's such a cliché, yet it's true. Tara is ferocious until someone continually shows her love and compassion. If they can hold out beyond her nastiness, if they can get her to see that it's not a façade but the real deal, she will often open enough for some semblance of a relationship to take place. It's getting to that point that's tricky for her though. How many times can one be burned before giving up seems like the only viable option?
That's Tara in a nutshell. Stay tuned for the next article in this series when I discuss another very popular character and their inner workings and motivations!
The DW-Time Zone
The New York Comic Con at the Jacob Javitz Center has come and gone, and while the new Avengers movie took center stage, fans of a certain Time Lord showed their support and dressed like the beloved Time Lord.
I, too, could not resist showing up in my TARDIS T-Shirt and I would randomly walk up to the fans and say, "I am collecting 'Doctor Who' photos" and the attendees were kind enough to allow me to photograph them. I snapped photos of people dressed as the 10th Doctor or the 11th Doctor. My favorite was the 11th Doctors because I would say (derisively), "I can't believe you are wearing a bow tie!" and I would not leave them alone until they said, "Bow ties are cool!" And each one was kind enough to do so.
To you people who thought I was harassing you (and I was), thank you and enjoy the following photographs of "Doctor Who" fans from the New York Comic Con.
Welcome back! This is my third article in this series where I take a look at past sci-fi shows and evaluate their technology to see if it has been introduced into today's society. Previously I talked about 'Star Trek' and 'Babylon 5,' but this time we're going to shift gears and think back to the times when 'The Six Million Dollar Man' aired.
I can't believe I'm admitting this, but I remember watching 'The Six Million Dollar Man' on television. I'm not reluctant to admit this because I'm ashamed I watched the show – that couldn't be further from the truth. This show was, in my opinion, one of the best ever. My shame comes because I'm actually at an age where I can recall its appearance on TV as part of regular programming. Yes, I'm getting old. Mid-thirties, actually. But to my credit, I've only ever watched the reruns. By the time it was taken off the air in 1978, I was a mere 16 months old.
If you've never seen it (and many of you "youngin's" haven't) it's about a man named Steve Austin who's severely injured in a crash. He's subsequently rebuilt during an operation that (you guessed it) cost about six million dollars. Because of the enhancements he received, he experiences increased speed, hearing and vision which far surpass a normal human's ability.
The purpose of this article isn't to get into a history of the show (which I could easily continue to do since I loved it so). My goal here is to discuss technology, so let's switch gears a bit, shall we?
So – is it possible that people could have mechanical parts which would allow them to live full lives? Some would argue that a pacemaker is a good example of this, and they wouldn't be wrong. But I want you to think bigger than this. Think prosthetics, but not the usual kind that one would attach and detach from themselves.
According to an article by The Telegraph, people are already receiving "bionic implants" to help them achieve a higher quality of life than before.
For those who suffer from hearing loss, cochlear implants have made a world of difference. These little robotic devices are installed in the patient. They turn sound into electronic pulses, which in turn the brain is able to interpret, thus allowing the wearer to "hear." Amazing stuff.
But what's even more exciting is what's being done in the realm of limb replacement. A perfect example of this is a little boy by the name of Patrick Kane. When Kane was just 9 months old, he lost his left hand after contracting meningitis.
This prosthesis is unlike many others out on the market. His actually works with sensors. Basically when he tenses his muscles in his arm, two electrodes that make contact with the skin transmit electricity from the nerves and cause the hand to open or close respectively.
"It's the little things that the hand allows me to do that have really made the difference. I can open bottles with both hands now, hold my fork and tie my shoelaces," said Patrick.
Another interesting case is that of Claudia Mitchell. In 2004 Mitchell was in a motorcycle accident that caused her to lose her left arm. However, thanks to some cutting edge technological bionic implants, she's able to live an independent life. The bionic limb, designed by Todd Kulken, helps her by rerouting the nerves that would've normally ended in her arm and hand to end in her chest. It is here that the bionic arm is able to pick up on those nerve impulses. So when Claudia thinks about moving her arm, it does just that. A computer in her arm interprets her thoughts and turns it into motion.
But what if you're looking for something even more advanced than this? What if limb replacement isn't enough?
Researchers are currently trying to find ways to replace individual muscles with bionic implants. Some are experimenting with synthetic polymer gels which expand and contract similarly to that of real muscle tissue. This type of implant is actually geared toward those who are suffering from serious types of sports injuries or who may have lost muscles in accidents.
Amazingly enough, researchers at the University of Texas have actually produced artificial muscles that are 100 times stronger than their human counterparts. Wild, isn't it?
But what about the sense of touch? Many who have used prosthetics have complained that not being able to feel is very frustrating to wearers. Well, this may very well be an issue of the past. Scientists in Italy are currently designing a synthetic skin that actually allows robots to have a sense of touch. While this was initially designed just for our robotic friends, there are other researchers who are attempting to adapt this technology to allow amputees and others who have lost limbs a chance to actually feel again. They're trying to find a way to bond the robot skin to a human's nerve cells.
Are we close to building our own Steve Austin? Not yet, but we're not as far off as one would think…

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger hailed the "exceptional attitude and determination" of his players after they secured a top-four finish in the Barclays Premier League at the expense of arch rivals Tottenham with a 1-0 win at Newcastle.
Central defender Laurent Koscielny stabbed home from close range seven minutes after the break at St James' Park to ensure the Gunners ended the season a point ahead of Spurs, leaving Wenger beaming.
"I am happy because the exceptional attitude and determination of this group of players has been rewarded," the Frenchman said.
"They continued to believe when we were seven points behind Tottenham in mid-March. We had no room for error anymore and you could never see any sign of giving in.
"That's why the exceptional mental attitude of the players has been rewarded."
However, Wenger warned his players that the job is not yet complete, with a potentially tricky qualifier to come before they can install themselves alongside the continent's elite.
He said: "It means to us to be able to play with the top teams in Europe - that's what you want.
"It means as well that it's easier to bring in players when you have a chance to be in the Champions League - let's not forget, we are not in yet, we have to qualify and that is always a very tricky round for us.
"But at least we have a chance."
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew promised the Magpies will be better next season after a demoralising 2012/13 campaign.
Pardew's men finished in 16th place on just 41 points - 24 fewer than they managed last season, when they finished in fifth.
Despite the disappointment at a year of under-achievement, the bulk of a crowd of 52,354 stayed behind to acknowledge the applause of the players and to pay tribute to keeper Steve Harper as his 20-year career on Tyneside drew to a close.
Pardew said: "The importance of the fans here, I wanted to highlight today because they have been magnificent for us and the support we had today on the season we have had was just remarkable, really.
"Harps touched on that as well. In the 20 years he has been here, it's just unbelievable support. We are very, very lucky and the players should feel very lucky to have the support we have got.
"Therefore, we owe them a debt next year to make sure we serve up a better standard of football and better quality results."

Gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "shotgun wedding".Yep.I have no problem with legal gun ownership, though.
My dad had guns when we were growing up and we learned to shoot rifles on camping trips. I'm not scared of guns or dislike them but I don't really feel a need to own one right now- or maybe ever. Not sure.
I've been to a few gun shows though. Those are very interesting and informative. And it's weird but I've never seen so many pregnant women in one place before.
HAHA... too funny. i plan to get one when i begin driving alone for work. i wouldnt get a glock though. too much kick and horribly inaccurate.

Unwanted risks can bring a business down pretty quickly, which means you want to identify them, analyze them and mitigate or eliminate them pretty quickly. One of Members Insurance Advisors' specialties is creating and implementing comprehensive risk management programs for small to mid-sized businesses. Not only that, they'll monitor your program on an ongoing basis so that your business stays strong.
It's still a smart idea to have Members Insurance Advisors evaluate your business. They may find ways to prevent losses before they ever occur. And because of this, they'll be able to prevent costs associated with managing claims, paying legal expenses, losing employees due to injury, losing revenue due to property or business interruption loss, and assuming liability of others.
Members Insurance Advisors takes a five-step approach to risk management. Here are their steps:
First, they identify your company's exposures to risk by:
Then, they analyze them to determine:
Next, their consultants work with you to determine how best to avoid, control, reduce and transfer risk. They do this by:
Then, their consultants use the information gathered in previous stages to help determine how to fund losses. A few options may be buying insurance and retaining risk (self-insured deductibles).
Careful consideration should go into deciding how much risk to retain versus how much to insure, and they use several methods to determine what's best for your business. When insurance becomes the preferred method of funding and risk transfer, they become an active partner in marketing your company to multiple insurers so they can secure coverage for you.
The last step of the process is to create, implement and monitor a comprehensive risk-management program. They'll develop a written plan that includes an action plan to reduce future risk.
Call 404-677-4131 or 866-444-4617 to speak to a representative. You can also inquire by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX makes slight gain after bank results, energy lags oil
(Adds portfolio manager comment, updates prices)
* TSX ends up 13.33 points, or 0.1 percent, at 12,753.60
* Six of the TSX's 10 main groups fall
By Alastair Sharp
TORONTO, Feb 25 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index notched a small gain on Thursday as two major banks rose after reporting quarterly numbers, while energy stocks weighed despite a late rally in crude prices.
Shares in Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce jumped 2.5 percent to C$89.66 after the bank beat on profit and raised its dividend, although, like other lenders that reported this week, CIBC reported rising bad loans in the oil and gas sector.
Its larger rival Toronto-Dominion Bank rose 1.4 percent to C$51.92 as its U.S. presence benefited from a weak Canadian dollar and wholesale banking profit fell.
"They're certainly not expensive," Paul Harris, portfolio manager at Avenue Investment Management, said of Canadian banks.
"This doesn't mean that their loan books are not going to get worse in a period of time where resource companies in this country are under a lot of pressure." Continued...

Gun trafficking triggers crime in area - The Herald Dispatch
Rather lengthy article on how the state of West Virginia is contributing getting getting guns to people who don't need them. I don't believe it and this just sucks big time. Looks like the Brady's are at it again.
HUNTINGTON -- Julie Callicoat never had an issue with guns until a bullet from a stolen .22-caliber pistol changed everything in September 2003.
The gunman legally purchased the once-stolen pistol from a pawn shop and used it to shoot Callicoat's daughter, his girlfriend at the time. The now 30-year-old victim survived, but remains a quadriplegic five years later.
The gunman, who had prior arrests with at least one misdemeanor conviction, entered a plea that led to a conviction for attempted murder. He remains in prison. Callicoat believes stronger gun laws may have prevented him from obtaining a weapon.
"I used to be a happy person, but I'm not anymore," she said. "This whole thing has been a nightmare."
Federal agents refer to West Virginia as a source state for firearms, which means guns purchased, stolen or acquired in West Virginia are often recovered by police in other states. One gun-control group analyzed the data and determined West Virginia was the nation's top exporter of firearms in 2007, based upon population.
Gun-control advocates blame that on relaxed gun laws, which attract criminals from states with tougher restrictions.
Gun-rights supporters say they believe new laws infringe upon the rights of the innocent and do little to reduce crime because criminals find other ways to obtain weapons.
Either way, West Virginia guns that go to other states contribute to crime in other places and here, because criminals are drawn to the area to acquire the weapons. Police spoke of more burglaries in the Tri-State, while the weapons lead to violent, sometimes deadly, disputes here and elsewhere. Local gun crime reached such a level that federal agents formed a task force last year, and it is making arrests.
The Brady Campaign, a well-known gun-control advocacy group, distributes a scorecard each year gauging the strength of state gun laws. West Virginia continually ranks near the bottom of the list. This year it scored four points out of 100, placing it two points ahead of last-place finishers Kentucky, Louisiana and Oklahoma in the Brady Campaign's rankings.
Brady spokesman Doug Pennington said weak gun laws affect a much broader audience. He said gun laws in 40 states do next to nothing and 38 states, including Ohio, scored below the 20-point threshold, which Brady considers to be a poor score. He described his group's proposals as compromise legislation that would reduce gun trafficking without infringing upon the Second Amendment right to bear arms. Gun-rights supporters strongly disagree.
"It shouldn't be treated as the rocket science as apparently a lot of elected officials want to treat it like," Pennington said. "We regulate automobiles to infinity and beyond, but there were 10,000 gun homicides in 2007, according to the FBI. ... That's exactly what firearms are designed to do. They're designed to kill things, but for some reason we are squeamish."
The National Rifle Association is Brady's chief opponent. The gun-rights group points to the large number of violent crime in states where tougher gun laws exist, such as California, New York, Illinois and Pennsylvania.
West Virginia State Trooper Rusty Reed investigates gun crimes as the leader of the state's gun lab. He also is a federally licensed firearms dealer and member of the NRA. He analyzes evidence from violent gun crimes everyday, but sees no reason for the state to adopt proposals put forth by gun-control groups, such as the Brady Campaign.
"In my 22 years (at the West Virginia State Police), I've seen a lot of things that are disheartening," he said. "If I thought there was one law that would fix all of the problems, I would certainly be behind it."
Criticism from gun-control groups does little to move West Virginia legislators. About six gun-control bills were introduced during the during the 60-day legislative session that concluded April 11. Zero passed.
The nation's top source state
More guns left West Virginia's borders, per capita, than any other state in the nation during 2007, according to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns. The gun-control group based its information upon trace data reports from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
The ATF would not confirm the Mountain State's ranking, but Resident Agents in Charge Paul Cross and Bernie Teyssier said their agency does consider West Virginia to be a source state supplying firearms to people living in areas with tougher gun laws. The designation is based upon data compiled by the ATF, whose agents trace firearms to their state of purchase.
"Guns are traced here all the time," Cross said.
Teyssier, whose field office covers portions of West Virginia and Kentucky, said the two states are very similar. Both states ranked in the top five for highest export rates, according to the Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
Cabell County Sheriff Tom McComas and Chief Deputy Doug Ferguson offered possible reasons for West Virginia's distinction. McComas, an avid outdoorsman himself, said the state's heritage includes hunting and firearm collecting. Ferguson said its proximity to major metropolitan areas increases its popularity with out-of-state criminals.
Regardless of the reasoning, Pennington said West Virginia should be ashamed of its distinction. He believes it is better to live in a tough gun-law state, where criminals are forced to look elsewhere for firearms.
"You don't want to be the source state for the country's firearms. That's awful," he said. "West Virginia is responsible, disproportionally, for gun murders, gun robberies and gun assaults because it is supplying weapons to criminals that they otherwise wouldn't be able to get."
The local gun trade offensive
Huntington Police Lt. J.T. Combs sees gun trafficking at the street level as a member of the ATF's River City Gun Crimes Task Force. He said guns leave West Virginia every day from Cabell and Wayne counties.
Combs, Teyssier and Cross all link the flow of guns to drugs. The dealers are attracted by lucrative profits at both ends. Crack cocaine and other drugs sold in the Tri-State bring a large profit, while guns sell for high prices in states such as Michigan.
"A gun is as good as money because these drug dealers love them," Combs said. "They will take a gun over jewelry. It's just something easy to move."
The constant demand for firearms in those states can prompt dealers to commit local crimes to obtain weapons. Combs said some drug dealers convince addicts to buy guns on their behalf, thus violating federal law. Some weapons are stolen, while others are traded for drugs.
Once the weapons fall into the dealers' hands, other crimes can occur. Combs said turf wars and disagreements over drug debts can prompt shootings.
Many times the violence occurs in Huntington. Combs said the guns funnel into the city, which serves as the hub for drug activity for a 50-mile radius.
Teyssier said the ATF was so concerned about the level of violence and number of firearms recovered in and around Huntington that the agency started the Task Force.
"We certainly want to try to help Cabell County and Huntington reduce the flow of firearms from this area to market areas," he said. "Every time a gun out of Huntington is recovered in another city the question is asked, 'Why is it coming from there?"
Combs and Teyssier said the burglary cases, an easy but illegal way to obtain weapons, are of particular concern of their potentially violent nature. Teyssier said the Task Force reviews burglary reports filed by local police departments.
The examples are plentiful, and not every case involves drugs. Police say gun theft motivated the shooting death of Huntington minister Mark McCalla at a shooting range last summer. Police arrested U.S. Army Spc. Daniel Smith and Stephen Wilson. The defendants sold some of the guns in Newport News, Va., according to court testimony. The ATF continues to search for some guns in the McCalla case, Teyssier said.
Two defendants were indicted by a federal grand jury last month.
James Paul Blake, 22, of Huntington was charged with possessing three stolen firearms and doing so while he was addicted to a controlled substance. The incident occurred Oct. 8, 2008, in Huntington, according to the indictment.
Jonathan Luke Ross, 23, of Barboursville was charged with being a convicted felon in possession of firearms and stealing the guns from a licensed firearms dealer. It was linked to a July 2008 theft at Sam's Gun & Pawn in Wayne County.
Teyssier said those indictments indicate the year-old Task Force is starting to make an impact. Each case involves a meticulous investigation that can last upward of a year. The investigations involve locating the original owner and determining the gun's next stop. Many times a crime gun will pass through many hands between the initial purchase and recovery.
Huntington Police Chief Skip Holbrook said he has witnessed no greater presence or availability of guns in Huntington than other cities he has worked, but he said the Task Force's presence boosts law enforcement efforts.
"We felt like there was a need for maybe working the case beyond the seizure of the gun," he said

Re: [Hammock Camping] Re: MacGyver report
Expand Messages
- Thank you, Sandy. I just learned last night what a whoopie sling is, reading on the hammock forum. I'll tell you what, reading that forum is like learning a foreign language. I mean, you have a total hammock rookie here who never heard of a Prusik knot till yesterday (still don't know what it is.) But I've had the hammock and cat-cut tarp pitched for 3 days now including yesterday when it rained all day, and all my stuff is still dry. I also figured out what to do with my backpack. Hung it by its lift/hang loop with a biner from the circle-cinch buckle just under the tarp, pulled my Tyvek groundsheet through the same loop so it hung down on both sides of the pack, and fastened the sides together w/ little binder clips. Looks goofy but it's off the ground away from the mice and it's totally dry even tho it wasn't completely under the tarp. So that's one more thing figured out.
From: Sandy sandykayak@...
opie at whooopieslings dot com has an all-in-one system now. I think it's about 4' of strap to protect the tree, a whoopie sling, aluminum ring (to prevent water from dripping into your hammock), and then a chain of his ultralightweight whatever (same as used for whoopie slings) that are tied or pulled thru channel of hammokc.

Our shortlist for the Best Tablet of 2011 included tablets in sizes from 7in up to 12.5in, in various styles including convertible laptops and tablets with keyboard docks. We asked you to vote for your favourite, whether that was a tablet you owned or one you simply wished you owned.
Having tallied your votes we whittled down the shortlist to three finalists: the Apple iPad 2, Asus Eee Pad Transformer and the Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1. The chosen finalists showed just how Android has caught up with the iPad in the past 12 months and also showed that tablets could even challenge laptops.
Our panel of experts then got together to discuss and debate the merits of each tablet getting a chance to put each through its paces before voting for the winner.
While the voting was very close, looking at the judges' comments, it is clear that they felt the outstanding battery life, great value and flexibility of one particular product made it a superb product and worthy winner of Tablet of the Year 2011.
Transformer is brilliant tablet and raised the bar the most out of the 3 shortlisted. This ex IPAD owner really noticed the difference in the huge extra options; and functions on android honeycomb delivered on some solid hardware.
Actually, I find it hard to believe that the Asus pips the iPad!
But as you say, iPad is king of the castle at the moment. And, I guess the iPad needs to competition!

About Me
See my updated measurements & portfolio images...
Part-time model, in school (fine art) and prioritizing paid assignments. Currently I am not booking nude shoots, implied nudes are a consideration. My current rates are $70/hour, $100/hour implied nude, and 2-hour minimum per shoot. I am available to travel to Rockford, Milwaukee and Chicago.
Outside of the basics, I am a super fun model to work with. I'm unafraid of the outdoors (though I detest the cold!) or trying ideas outside the box. I am very comfortable with my body, but that does not mean I am okay with disrespectful photographers.
Best way to reach me about my availability is through MM or sending me an email at email@example.com

Formation and closure of canopy gaps in the rain forest at Nouragues, French Guiana

Formation and closure of canopy gaps was monitored for three years in 12 ha of primary rain forest at Nouragues, French Guiana. At the first inventory, in April 1991, 74 openings in the canopy > 4 m2 (sensu Brokaw 1982a) were located; 60 of these gaps were formed before January 1990. Between January 1990 and December 1993, 5 to 15 gaps were annually formed, opening 0.64–1.33% of the forest canopy each year. Of all gaps, 41% were created by a falling, snapped tree, 34% by a falling, uprooted tree, 22% by a falling branch, and 3% by a falling dead stem. A refined nearest neighbour analysis showed that gaps formed after January 1990 were clustered: uprooting of trees seemed to be related to shallow soils, and relatively many other trees fell when a tree uprooted, independent of the dbh of the uprooted tree. In 37 gaps, canopy openness in the gap centre (determined by hemispherical photographs) was monitored over three years. In 54% of the gaps, canopy openness increased in two successive years. It is reasoned that edges of especially large gaps may frequently be re-disturbed by falling trees or branches. Results suggest that gaps have closed after around 15 years. More data are needed to verify this.

In 2013, the total online sales in China is expected to reach $265 billion, exceeding all other countries including the US. China has 242 million online shoppers, accounting for about 40% of its entire population.
It's another heavy smog day in Beijing, and the Chinese government finally decided to do something about it – to find PM 2.5 a proper Chinese name. To help their government, Chinese netizens weighed in with creative name suggestions.
An earlier song by famous singer Li Shuangjiang, whose son was recently detained for gang rape, became a new meme song on the Chinese Internet. Its name is American Soldiers Are Good For Nothing.
A survey by People's Forum among 2156 government officials across China showed that more than half of government officials in the country have Weibophobia.
On February 21, high-ranking Chinese military officer Luo Yuan, major general, opened a personal Weibo account. Instead of welcomes, Chinese netizens showered Luo with bitter questions and criticism. The peacetime general's hope to win over public favor is crashed completely.
Men and women in North Korea are encouraged to choose from one of the 18 female hair styles and 10 male hair styles recommended by their government.
Less than 24 hours after Sina Weibo verified that Frank Hsieh, former presidential nominee of Taiwan's pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), opened an account, the account has already been deleted. Chinese netizens viewed the move as a major setback in re-unification efforts.
A picture is worth a thousand words. Tencent News recently put together a picture essay of the severity of water pollution in China.
It's funded by the Chinese government. Its CEO is Deng Yaping, former world ping-pong champion. Kai-Fu Lee, former president of Google China, was banned from Weibo for criticizing it. Chinese netizens couldn't help but ask: "Is all the drama a publicity stunt?"
"I'm in deep regret…Why did I participate [the protests]? What if I didn't step in this mess? Why did I seek trouble for myself?" said Lin Zulian, one of the leaders of Wukan anti-government protests in 2011 and newly elected village committee director.

Re-enactors in Gettysburg answer call for big events like 150th anniversary
GETTYSBURG -- Fireflies flash below the feet of statue of Winged Victory, perched atop the Pennsylvania Memorial nearly 100 feet over the battlefield.
The nighttime clouds, high and deep blue, break open. Stars flank the statue, its inky metal darker than the sky above.
The sun has set and the crowds have gone. No streetlights mar the paved paths through Gettysburg National Military Park. The only nearby light flickers from campfires and candlelit tables, where the mirthful chatter of weary, wool-clad men rises from the rows of canvas tents into the warm, damp breeze of Pennsylvania farmland in July.
More than 158,000 soldiers fought at Gettysburg July 1-3, 1863. The 150th anniversary is drawing tens of thousands of re-enactors to staff living history encampments in the park and take part in battle re-enactments scheduled before and after the three-day anniversary.
"It's very moving. The 150th. All of us have been looking forward to that number," said Steve Hawkins 62, of Squirrel Hill.
He's among more than 200 Union reenactors camping on the field Monday through Wednesday. Beyond the tree line about a mile to the west, Confederate counterparts bivouac near a memorial to Confederate Gen. James Longstreet, the man who warned Gen. Robert E. Lee against attacking the Union-held Cemetery Ridge on the climactic third day of the battle, July 3, 1863.
About 10,000 reenactors took part in the first reenactment, which ended Sunday, and more are expected at the second, which begins Thursday.
"The hobby," as many of them call it, can swallow thousands of hours and dollars. The price of this ground-level understanding of history includes long nights in the rain under open-sided tents that are little more than canvas sheets over wooden poles, and marches across muggy fields wearing wool coats in 90-degree heat. One set of clothes can cost $1,600.
"We're kind of nuts," said Brandon Bies, 33, of Washington, D.C.
"You're being generous," said David Golimowski, 49, of Baltimore, who encamped with Bies and other Confederate reenactors in Pitzer Woods, on the battlefield.
Bies works as a National Park Service site manager for Arlington House, Lee's former home. Golimowski helps maintain and operate the Hubble Space Telescope for the Space Telescope Science Institute.
Elsewhere on the field were a university carpenter, retired military personnel, fathers and sons, young husbands and wives, and the great-great grandson of Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, John Grant Griffiths, 70, of Fredericksburg, Va. Griffiths' first reenactment was 1956.
"Back then, you didn't have tents, you didn't have good units, you didn't have reproduction weapons, you didn't have the level of interest you have today," Griffiths said.
Bies and Golimowski spent part of Tuesday morning discussing different methods of weaving fabric used to make period pants. The camp's resident expert, Charlie Childs, explained the intricacies of blending cotton and wool, and how the word "jeans" referred to a type of weave before it was a kind of pants.
Childs, 61, of Paris, Ohio is credited by some reenactors with vast improvements to the accuracy of period clothing during the 30 years since he started making it.
Some of the period equipment can get pretty bulky -- Bill Smith's cannon, for instance. The captain of the 19th Ohio Light Artillery regiment based in Salem, Ohio, operates a 1,900-pound cannon forged just north of Philadelphia in 1862. It's unknown where the cannon -- specifically, the "tube" from which projectiles fire -- saw action because the building that held the record of this cannon's serial number burned down about 100 years ago, said Smith, 70, of Ellwood City.
More than 150 years after the cannon's forging, Smith's unit still uses it in shooting competitions held annually at a military artillery range in Michigan. Batteries using Civil War equipment take aim at a wooden target 4 feet by 6 feet set 10 football fields away, or more than 1⁄2 mile. Their last time out, they hit it 12 times in 15 tries. When it's firing a 10-pound ball, the recoil lifts the cannon into the air and pushes back between 8 and 10 feet, Smith said.
Monday, they set up on Seminary Ridge, where they fired empty barrels westward at 8 a.m. to commemorate the first shots of the battle, then again a couple hours later to commemorate the Seminary Ridge Museum's opening.
"It's just an honor," Smith said. "This is the first time shots were fired from this position since 150 years ago. This is the exact position of the first day's battle. They were here."
This connection to the past often links reenactors to ancestors they never met.
Jordan Hoffman and his father, Paul, portray soldiers in the 14th Tennessee Infantry. During the actual Pickett's Charge, a sergeant in the 14th Connecticut Infantry captured the Tennessee colors near the Union wall. A descendant of that soldier is a reenactor in the Connecticut regiment, and the Hoffmans' commanding officer arranged for him to leap the wall during the reenactment Sunday and follow in his ancestors' footsteps to capture their flag, Paul Hoffman said.
"It was pretty tear-jerking," Paul Hoffman said.
Two of Steve Schnyer's ancestors fought with New England units in the Civil War. One of them camped not far from Schnyer's tent with the Union encampment near the Pennsylvania Memorial.
"I'm older than he was when he was here," said Schnyer, 52, of Keene, N.H. He sat beside his tent, cleaning a replica Springfield rifle as dusk settled over the ground his family defended 150 years ago that day.
"Everybody's got a different reason for doing it," Schnyer said.
One of his comes on the march, where his 6-foot-2-inch frame puts him near the rear of most formations. When the terrain is just right, the column in front of him dips, and then the leading element rises on the far hill, a flag-bearer in the lead, visible over the shoulders of the men in front of him. "You see the colors come up, and your heart goes right into your throat."

Nuclear inspectors have identified a new radioactive leak at the power plant that was badly damaged in this week's earthquake, it emerged yesterday. The Nuclear and Industrial Safety Agency said radioactive iodine had leaked from an exhaust pipe at the Kashiwazaki-Kariwa atomic energy plant in Niigata prefecture. Inspectors said the leak posed no threat to human health or the environment, but the plant will remain closed until its safety can be assured. It could remain inactive for at least a year, increasing the likelihood of power cuts during the sumer peak for electricity demand.

Bank denies financing murder of Daniel Pearl
A Pakistani bank sued by the widow of an American reporter murdered by Islamic militants has denied responsibility for the killing in 2002. Mariane Pearl, the widow of Daniel Pearl, filed a complaint in a US court on Wednesday accusing Habib Bank of knowingly providing financial services to al-Qaida and other terrorist groups. Backed by the bank, terrorists "carried out the kidnapping, ransom, torture, execution and dismemberment of Daniel Pearl and broadcast those images nationwide", said the lawsuit. It named an Islamic charity, the al-Rashid Trust, as a defendant, as well as alleged terrorists.

Reporter accused of fake report on cardboard buns
Police have detained a Beijing reporter for faking a hidden camera report about street vendors selling buns stuffed with cardboard. Beijing Television apologised during a news broadcast on Wednesday. The Xinhua news agency named the journalist as Zi Beijia, whose footage appeared to show people making buns stuffed with 60% cardboard softened in caustic soda, and 40% fatty pork. An inquiry revealed that Zi had taken the ingredients to a site in Beijing and asked four migrant workers to make the buns while he filmed. The story was carried as an agency report in the Guardian.

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
I believe I am begining to see improvement with my peripheral vision in my left eye. Is this a sign that the inflamation could be going down? Do most people see improvement with their peripheral vision first and then gradually see improvement with central vision? i have two days left of x3 prednisone followed by 2 days of x2 then 1 day of x1 pill. But even still at this point the fact that I can still see out of the eye and see large print etc shoudl still be seen as encouraging right? Thanks, Ryan
Hi Ryan
I am glad you are noticing improvement. Any improvement you notice is positive and means the inflammation is beginning to improve. What is very encouraging is that you have useful vision and have noticed some improvement which should continue in the next few weeks, hopefully all the way back to baseline. Keep me posted Ryan, Have a good night, Dr. Stevens

The 2013 season started extremely well for the St. Louis Blues. As we flipped the page on the calendar from January to February, the Blues held one of the NHL's best records of 6-1-0. Since then, there's been very few positives as the Blues rattled off five straight losses, several of which were of the blowout variety. If you've watched the team's past few games, it's a mess. There's no intensity, no desperation and mental and physical errors from start to finish. Evidently, coach Ken Hitchcock's instructions have fallen on deaf ears. Is it time for the St. Louis Blues to make a trade? They certainly could use some help at defense and, depending on Jaroslav Halak's health, a new face in net. Perhaps most importantly, the entire club needs a good old fashioned wake up call that a trade might provide. Over the past few years, the Blues have run through their fair share of coaches. Andy Murray had the helm between 2006-2010 before making way for Davis Payne. Payne was never supposed to be the long-term solution, so current coach Ken Hitchcock was brought to the mix in 2011. For both Murray and Payne, the Blues were criticized for not playing hard. It was believed to be a leadership issue, not a player issue. Under Hitchcock, the Blues have played spectacularly well - until the month of February. Now they're resembling the teams that gave minimal effort under both Murray and Payne. The team's core group of players is mostly unchanged since we saw the Blues turn in horrible effort after horrible effort under Andy Murray. This is a worrisome trend. At some point the coaches no longer hold the responsibility for a team's effort. The Blues are on their third coach since 2010. Maybe the problem lies on the bench, not behind it. That brings us back to the topic of a trade. The rumors are already circulating. Rumor lovers out there. #flyers scouting Blues last night, #stlblues scouting Flyers Toronto. #Flyers need scoring, #stlblues could use Dman — Andy Strickland (@andystrickland) February 12, 2013 The Blues could certainly use some help at defense, but do the Philadelphia Flyers have a piece that could help? That's a highly debatable point. Still, the point here is that the Blues are actively scouting other teams and not just with their scouts. The Blues sent both their GM, Doug Armstrong, and their director of Pro Scouting, Rob DiMaio, to the Toronto / Philadelphia game on Monday night. Blues GM Doug Armstrong and Director of Pro Scouting Rob DiMao are at the ACC taking in the Leafs-Flyers game. — Greg Thomson (@GregThomsonNHL) February 12, 2013 Interesting. This might not lead to a trade between the Blues and Flyers, but the Blues did have some noteworthy individuals in attendance, especially when you consider the Blues were playing at home on the same night. In a shortened season, timing is more important than ever before. In other seasons you may have been able to wait an additional game or two before pulling the trigger, but in the abbreviated 2013 campaign moves and changes need to be made promptly. Will the St. Louis Blues make a deal in the near future? Several signs are pointing to "Yes". Stay tuned. [follow]

Pressing the Restart Button in 2013
After a tough second half of last season for both Turn One Racing and myself, 2013 was set up as a year of fresh starts. Losing sponsorship at the beginning of the year in 2012, Turn One Racing left NASCAR Camping World Truck Series competition, and after July 2012, I was watching from home as well and looking for better opportunities. Fortunately, I think we've both found it this year and I'm really pleased with our plans to run the entire NCWTS season with the No. 60 WinField Chevrolet Silverado.
In the offseason I signed a multi-year contract with Richard Childress Racing, and we decided to partner up with Turn One Racing to run the entire NCWTS season. With WinField backing us, it was going to be the perfect chance for the team and myself to rebuild with a solid, consistent year of competition. I'll get some extra experience too in the NASCAR Nationwide Series, running five races for RCR. I've already run two of those, at Auto Club Speedway and Charlotte Motor Speedway, and both races I thought we had great cars, just didn't have the luck at the end to produce a finish that showed it.
In case you didn't know, former driver and veteran of the sport, Stacy Compton, is part owner in Turn One Racing and has been a huge help to me so far this season. He's been acting not only as an owner, but as a driving coach too, helping me learn quicker at tracks that I haven't been to before or with anything that's been a challenge. His knowledge of the sport and driving skills have really helped me improve and I'm looking forward to leaning on him as the season goes forward.
My crew chief at Turn One, Gere Kennon, has also been around for a long time in the racing world and has given me some great trucks in the first six races of the season. Our relationship with RCR is really helpful too, because they're basically like extended teammates. We have engineering help and ECR engines that have really stepped up my level of competition. It's really been a great relationship so far, and I think our goals of running consistent each week and steadily improving our finishes is easily attainable.
Looking forward I think there will be a lot of curve balls thrown at us this year. There are still a few tracks that I haven't been to before since I haven't run a full season yet, so it's going to be up to me to get up to speed quickly so we don't have to spend all weekend learning. I think there's a lot of hype around the dirt race at Eldora, so it's going to be interesting to see how that race plays out and we'll definitely need to make sure we're up in the point standings before getting there. I really enjoy road course racing so I'm looking forward to going to Canadian Tire Motorsport Park; I've already run some races on the simulator though and I know it's going to be super challenging for everyone.
For Texas this weekend, I'm really hoping we can put last weekend's struggle at Dover behind us and gain back the points we lost. I know Texas Motor Speedway has aged some over the past few years but I remember how fast it was and how great the racing is. I know the trucks will put on an exciting show, so I'm ready to get racing under the lights on Friday night and hope the No. 60 WinField Chevy will be up front mixing it up for the win.

spiced almond carrots and greek yogurt
cast iron chicken diavola
I've been roasting chicken in a cast iron skillet a lot over the past few months. Sometimes I season a bird with grainy Dijon mustard mixed with some chopped tarragon, making sure to smear plenty of the mixture under the skin. Other times I keep it simple with just salt, pepper, olive oil and lemon. The skillet goes from stovetop to oven (and straight to the table, sometimes) which simplifies things even more.
You can easily find pre-seasoned cast iron pans now, but when I bought mine oh-so-many-years ago that wasn't an option. Those pans are treasured tools in my kitchen for sure, with a patina that bears witness to half my lifetime of cooking.

The whole bird is usually eaten in one sitting in our family, but this time we had leftovers. My kids don't go near cold roast chicken, but – HA! – they do when it's baked into this creamy, cheesy mixture I told my son was Pasta Pot Pie. Just for the record, he didn't go for it (he's 13, and still suspicious of any green vegetable that isn't broccoli or green beans), but my daughter was all over it. [Read more…]
