Indianapolis/Stuttgart - September 21 - After the premiere of the Porsche-Pirelli-Supercup on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year, the world's fastest international single marque series returns to the legendary circuit for the two final rounds with two American racing stars added to the talented international field.
Sam Hornish, Jr., the 22 year-old Defiance, Ohio, racer who won the 2001 Indy Racing League championship, will step out of his open-wheel racer into a Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car to challenge the best GT sedan racers from Europe in two races preceeding the U.S. Grand Prix September 29 - 30.
Hornish, who has spent the last two years running the ovals of the IRL schedule, has four years of road racing experience including successes in the U.S. F2000 Championship and the Kool/Toyota Atlanta Championship (1999) including the first victory ever at the then-new Chicago Motor Speedway.
David Donohue, 34, from Malvern, Penn., has taken a different route in his career as a race driver, winning the Bridgestone Supercar Championship during his first professional season (1994) and the CART Super Touring Driver's title in 1997.
Donohue, whose late father Mark won the Indianapolis 500 in 1972, didn't start racing professionally right after his graduation from Lehigh University in 1991. After spending several years in amateur club racing, he began his profesional career at the urgings of Mark Donohue collegues Johnny Rutherford and Mario Andretti.
Since turning professional, Donohue has raced anything and everything with four wheels, from sports car racing to driving NASCAR, GT, Super Touring, FIA and ACO International GT sports cars competitions as well as the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series.
The third American racing star is Gunnar Jeannette, from West Palm Beach, Florida, who, at 19 years-old, is the youngest driver in the event. Son of Kevin Jeanette, a veteran Porsche race car restorer and preparer, Gunnar became the youngest driver ever to enter the 24 Hours of Daytona in 2000 at the age of 17 when he co-drove a Porsche with Paul Newman, the oldest driver in the event.
U.S. road racing fans will also recognize the entry of Sascha Maassen, the German GT driver who is in contention for the second year in a row for the American Le Mans Series championship in his Alex Job Racing McKenna Porsche 911 GT3 RS.
Besides the American guest drivers, these two Porsche-Pirelli- Supercup races feature the European drivers who will be fighting for the season points title.
Travelling to the USA as favorite in the 370 hp, 180 mph Porsche 911 GT3 Cup car is 25-year-old businessman Jorg Bergmeister from Germany. At the inaugural Supercup race last year in Indy, Bergmeister swept the field, taking pole position, fastest race lap and victory in Sunday event. Over the 2001 season, Bergmeister has turned seven pole positions into six wins and currently leads the series by 25 points. Victory in the Supercup is rewarded with 20 points; 40 points are up for grabs over the Indy weekend.
Bergmeister's only real threat comes from his team mate and toughest rival Marco Werner from Germany. The 35-year-old Porsche specialist won the Austrian and Belgian rounds and has regularly finished in the top five. American sports car fans might remember Werner as part of the team that won the 1995 24 Hours of Daytona - the last Porsche overall victory at that event.
While the fight for the title is an all-German duel, other competitors are determined to show the American public their mettle: 1998 Le Mans winner Stephane Ortelli from Monaco won his home race in Monte Carlo as well as the German round this season. Ex-Indy 500 driver Alex Zampedri climbed the podium twice this year (3rd in Austria & Hungary) and is looking to bring a repeat result from his favorite track.
The six Supercup main-players after ten rounds:
1st - Jorg Bergmeister (Germany, 25 years-old), entry no. 5, 157 points, Infineon Team Farnbacher. Born 13 February 1976 in Germany, Bergmeister is one of the youngest competitors and contests his second Supercup season this year. Seven pole positions and six wins from ten rounds. In 2000 secured the German Carrera Cup championship and currently ranks second overall this season. Also won the final Supercup round in Indy (USA). 1993 Formula Konig champion, 1995 Formula Opel vice-champion.
2nd - @!Marco Werner (Germany, 35 years-old), entry no. 4, 132 points, Infineon Team Farnbacher. Also in his second season the ex-F3 ace took victory in Austria and Spa, second at the season-opener in Imola and third place in Monaco. Retired in Silverstone with gearbox damage. 1991/92 German Formula 3 vice-champion, won the F3 GP in Monaco in 1992. Switched to GT sport in the mid-nineties, won Daytona with Porsche in 1995. 1996/97 STW and Porsche makes cups.
3rd - Wolf Henzler (Germany, 26 years-old), entry no. 9, 123 points, Porsche Centre Rhein-Oberberg. Now in his second Supercup season, secured top five results from almost every round so far with two second places (MC, GB). 1995-1998 German F3, 1999 European F3000 championship.
4th - Stephane Ortelli (Monaco, 31 years-old) entry no. 15, 111 points, Kadach Tuning team. Victory in Monaco, third in Imola, second in Austria. Retired in Silverstone with brake problems and in Hungary after a collision with Wolf Henzler in the first corner. The bachelor and racing professional won the Le Mans 24 Hour race in 1998 with Porsche and took second last year. Ortelli finished his 2000 Supercup season third overall.
5th - Tim Bergmeister (Germany, 26 years-old) entry no. 12, 104 points, M.A.T. Racing. After a shaky start to the season the elder brother of the series' leader collected points from the last four rounds (EUR 2nd; GB 3rd; D 4th, H 2nd). Like his brother, the qualified master mechanic won the Formula Konig (1992), moved temporarily to the USA (Barber Dodge Pro Series), before taking up the Porsche Cups challenge last year.
6th - Philipp Peter (Austria, 32 years-old) entry no. 6, 97 points, Infineon Technologies Team Farnbacher. Undoubtedly the quickest new-comer to the Porsche-Pirelli-Supercup this year. Climbed the podium in Spa and Monza in third and secured regular top ten finishes. Rose through the motorsport ranks: From Formula racing to Austrian F3 vice-champion, STW, Indy Lights (3rd in 1999), second in his class (and third overall)at Daytona last year driving a GT3 R.

Beutler Air Conditioning & Plumbing has been serving homeowners of Sacramento since 1947 with plumbing needs,
homeowner questions and tips to offer the public. Speaking of which, our
service manager
Neil Chapman was recently on KCRA-TV (NBC 3) offered some thoughtful tips on how to conserve water.
One of the main tips Chapman shared with viewers was something we call
"silent leakers," which are typically found in the bathroom.
"You don't always hear them leaking, and a small toilet leak can
waste up to 20 gallons of water a day. A good way to check is a little
food coloring in the tank. If it runs through to the bowl then you have
a leak," Chapman said.
As California continues to experience its worst drought in state history,
we believe it is vital to understand water-saving tips so we can help
both our city and our state save as much water as possible. Other conservation
tips Chapman offered KCRA-TV are as follows:

From Softray
pink screen?
- the local firewall does not allow incoming/ougoing UDP (there should be an option to specify a fixed local UDP port...)
- utcrypto / mode = hard: as softray does not support encryption, right now.
- have you enabled lan connections? check with
utadm -l; change with
utadm -L on
local firewall
for testing disable it, or try enabling incoming UDP (outgoing traffic is usually allowed by local firewalls -- softray needs outgoing TCP 7009)
How do I setup a testing environment?
Well, there are many different ways to do this. I tend to virtualize all I can:
I am doing all protocol observersions on a Lenovo x86_86 notebook, Fedora12 (Fedora11 previously), VirtualBox, WindowsXP VM - RDP server, Solaris10 VM - RayServer.
The LDAP-database on the ray server can be analyzed with jXplorer (SF.net site).

|"Ah, if only."
I know I usually just mention the behind-the-scenes trivia as it comes up, but this bears setting some time aside to talk about it.
While this two-parter was written by Russell T. Davies, it was directed by Keith Boak, who later went on to direct "Rose." (The episodes were not filmed in broadcast order.)
Keith Boak would never direct an episode of Doctor Who ever again.
Now, in all fairness to Mr. Boak, it was up to him to set the tone of these episodes. And the Revived Series of Doctor Who, while he was at it. No one knew what Doctor Who should feel like. There was going to be experimentation no matter what. Sure, Davies wrote the words, but it would be up to Boak to decide if the text would be played like a comedy or a drama.
He chose comedy.
I mentioned in my Review of "Rose" that Mickey's actor, Noel Clarke, was under the impression that the new series of Doctor Who was going to mostly be aimed at a younger audience. Hence, his goofy performance. I can only imagine he was under that impression because Keith Boak was under that impression.
Keith Boak also decided that he would rewrite the episodes' scripts as they were filming. Usually, this is done out of necessity; perhaps an actor broke his leg and can't do a chase scene, or the sets got vandalized and can't be used, or something. Boak rewrote the script because he thought he could make it funnier with toilet humor.
In the end, that decision was pretty disrespectful to pretty much everyone. Not only did it undermine the integrity of Davies' script, but rewriting a script on set is a hassle for the actors, having to learn new lines and figure out how best to deliver them. Christopher Eccleston, who prefers stage acting, is kind of impatient with how movies and TV are filmed as it is (which has given him the reputation of being hard to work with). Boak's antics were pretty much the last straw, and Eccleston decided to leave the show after a single season. Luckily, this was the first episode filmed, so Russell T. Davies had time to figure out a way to kill him off in the finale and give him a proper sendoff.
In fact, Christopher Eccleston ended up growing disillusioned with TV acting altogether, explaining why his character on Heroes ended up disappearing. It helped that his character literally had the power to disappear. It wouldn't be until 2011 that he would do more than a single episode of any given show again.
I firmly believe that these episodes were unsalvageable. Not because of the director's antics, or the poor script, or the bad effects. The story simply doesn't work as a whole.
If you ask someone what this two-parter was about, they'd probably say "farting aliens."
|"Some people sum up my whole season like that."
Instead of picking one idea and going to town, they pick three ideas and bury them under each other. Though I will say this: Faking an alien invasion to gather all the alien experts in order to kill them is a great story hook.
Iraq Allegory
The allegory for the Iraq War is pretty pointless. There's really no follow up on the references to the Iraq War, they're just kind of there. If there's a larger statement than "Look! It's like real life events!" then I can't see it. And they only become obvious about halfway into the second part, so the allegory can't be the main point of the episode.
I think it's also important to point out that, in the Doctor Who canon, Tony Blair was murdered by Slitheen. Originally, the Prime Minister's face was going to be seen. But when they discovered that their Tony Blair impersonator didn't actually look like Tony Blair, they kept his face hidden.
Deconstruction of the Classic Series
I do admire this two-parter for attempting to examine the implications of a young girl randomly running away with the Doctor for who-knows-how long. Especially when you consider that companions don't always return. But the idea is never really explored; the deal with the cops is easily cleared up, and Jackie keeps forgetting that she hates the Doctor when it interferes with the plot. Later episodes will touch upon this idea and use it to make much more of an impact.
In the interests of fairness, I've thought long and hard about how to fix this episode into something at least watchable, while keeping the basic plot. Or at least, each plot in turn.
Option 1
Do a story about an alien invasion faked by aliens who have already infiltrated the Earth's governments. Steven Moffat went on to use a similar plot to great effect.
Option 2
Have the villains be all too human.
Imagine this: Friendly aliens that look terrifying have popped by for a visit. But after the whole plastic people thing, the UK is on edge and remains utterly convinced that these aliens are hostile invaders. (And the UK has already been burned by supposedly-friendly aliens called "the Axons" in the Classic Series, which can't help matters.) The human prime minister spins a yarn about their destructive capabilities, in a meta reference to Tony Blair's comments to the U.N. And in the end, the Doctor barely wins this one. Because while humans have the potential to take their place in the galaxy, the still need a little help from the Doctor, now and then. Less of a pointless reference to real life events, more of a metaphor for racism and suspicion in the wake of 9/11.
Option 3
Set the story from Jackie's point of view as her daughter returns after a year abroad with a strange man. See the fear and terror through her eyes. See the sadness left behind when the Doctor comes in and scoops your loved ones away. Have flashbacks of the lies Jackie told about Mickey. Because sometimes, the Doctor creates monsters, too.
The Doctor
The Doctor is his normal self... mostly. Aloof and mysterious. Unfortunately, there's a downright cruel streak to him in how he treats Mickey. I guess this could be chalked up to the show's growing pains, as well as his trying to figure out how to make the character work, but it comes across very out of character for the Doctor to be such a jerk to an innocent man whose life he'd ruined accidentally.
But a detail that I do like is that the Doctor doesn't get involved at first. Instead, he's glad that humanity's going to take its first baby steps into the galaxy… but he'll double check on the alien. Just in case. And when he discovers that the body's a fake, then he takes his usual course of action. Nice touch.
Rose Tyler
It's very interesting to see exactly how time/space travel changes a person. And over the course of only a couple episodes, too. Alas, the possible negative consequences are swept under the rug as she insists that she's fine and dandy; and we're supposed to side with her, despite how she's suddenly treating her loved ones after accidentally leaving for a year. Welcome to the origin point of the Rose hatedom.
Jackie Tyler
Jackie is really annoying in this two-parter. And part of that is because her story arc had no story and no arc. She's just complaining and crying off-and-on through both episodes. No resolution, no arc, Rose just tells her not to worry. If she had some kind of story to her interactions with Rose, then I wouldn't have much of a problem with her Coronation Street-style performance. As it is, she's just a rain cloud over every other scene.
Mickey Smith
Mickey Smith is karma's urinal. The Doctor ruins his life, Jackie makes him into a pariah, and nothing really fixes either of these problems. And the episode acts as if everything is just dandy with him in the end.
Harriet Jones (Penelope Wilton)
Harriet Jones is a stiff-upper-lipped woman who isn't afraid to fight the good fight. Honestly, I really like the character. Penelope Wilton's performance evokes professionalism and a very human vulnerability, tempered by a very British resolve in the face of danger. Plus, her down-to-Earth worldview contrasts nicely with the Doctor's own alien point of view, reminding us that this man we watch on TV still thinks and acts with a different morality system than we do, on a different scale than we're used to. With Rose going native in the TARDIS, she kind of fills the role of the companion in a way that Rose can't anymore.
Monsters of the Week
Captain Pork
You know, it's kind of funny. "Aliens of London" treats Dr. Sato like a bit of a fool for thinking that aliens might possibly look like a humanoid version of an animal from Earth. And yet, we're less than ten episodes away from the introduction of alien cat people.
|Close, but not quite.
|There ya go.
The Slitheen simply do not work as villains in any way, shape, or form. While their plan and method are fairly interesting, well, let me count the ways in which they fail.
|Apart from failing to pick up the phone that would let them destroy the world.
- Their "humor" pretty much consists of fart jokes, meaning that they don't even work as comedic villains. At all.
- The costumes look fake.
- The CGI looks fake.
- The CGI and the costumes look completely different from each other.
- The pot-bellied, baby-faced design isn't very intimidating.
- The actors' performances are over-the-top and buffoonish, reducing their credibility as a threat.
- They explode when you toss pickle juice at them.
- Their obsession with hunting people is kind of random and adds nothing to them as characters.
- The zippers on their foreheads disappear and reappear.
- They have zippers on their skinsuits.
- They put said zippers on their foreheads.
- They're slow, lumbering, and the actors clearly can't see a darn thing in those suits.
|No, I'm not talking about the Sandmen.
|Behold... the Vervoids.
|"Why does everybody always bring up the vagina-faced plant people?"
This is a terrible two-parter.
The first part is marginally better than the second, but that's not saying much. This two-parter is definitely the lowest point of the Ninth Doctor's sadly-short run, and some would argue that it's the lowest point of New-Who as a whole. But with episodes like "Love and Monsters," "Fear Her," "In the Forest of the Night," and "Sleep No More" existing, the title of "worst episode" is completely up to the individual viewer.
But seriously, feel free to skip this two-parter if you haven't seen it. It's honestly one of the worst things I've ever had to watch for this blog.
Next time, we go from one the Ninth Doctor's worst episodes to one of his best as an old foe returns….
See you then!

In this post I will lay out what the first paragraph of my paper will be. This is subject to editing as I get deeper into my research and hash out my thoughts a little better.
In order to be involved in the debate regarding violent video games and their correlation to violent behavior one does not have to be a video game player. In fact this issue has taken the forefront on the national scene in the past decade with many blaming video games for violent tragedies including school shootings like Columbine and Newtown. Research into this topic has been conducted for the past two decades as researchers try to get a handle on how violent video games effect people's behaviors, especially young men. This paper will examine the past two decades worth of research in an attempt to better understand what scientists thoughts are on this topic. The expectations in this research is that there will not be a consensus among researchers and most research will be too split to draw any reasonable conclusions.
This paragraph will be followed by a few short paragraphs that will briefly discuss my findings before jumping into the meat of my paper which will discuss in further depth and analyze data that will support my thesis statement.

I had my first session of laser yesterday and though I would give a few first impressions. Firstly, for those that are worried about pain, I think if I can cope you can. I have extremely sensitive skin, and although it certainly wasn't pain free, I could handle it. It mostly just feels like a short burst of heat, but immediately disappears. If you know about laser you would understand that unlike waxing or shaving, the hair removal is not immediate. In fact laser doesn't even claim to be hair removal, just permanent hair reduction. This means that over time you hair will grow back, but it could take years and will be very minimal.
The entire ession for me was about 10 minutes, including the explanation from th theapist. I think even if you got your etire body done, from head to toe, you could never be there longer than an hour. It is certinly much quicker than waxing, and I hope that over time I will be impressed with the resuslts.
I will keep you updated on how I go, fingers crossed it involves a future of shaving my underarms once a month!

View Nievert's own "whimsical, imagined world"
In October 2016, the Advocate did a feature on Mt. Hood's newest full-time painting instructor, Matteo Neivert. This month, his artwork is being featured in the Visual Arts Gallery on campus.
The Advocate caught up with Neivert to get an update on the showing.
How many new pieces of art did you create for this show?
"That's like asking my mother how old she is. In painting, even if a piece is several years old, I often paint on it and change it as it evolves over time. About three-quarters of the work is new. Only four or so large pieces are from a few years ago, but I also painted a bit on them, as well. Many pieces go through several changes and evolve over time but are considered new since I have just finished them – even though I started working on them a few years previously.
When you look at a Monet in a museum, often it says "Circa 1880-84," meaning it took four years to complete the painting or it went through many changes until being shown for exhibit within that time span. Art is like a cake that never goes bad. Let's say you make a chocolate cake and want to put roses on it and make it vanilla. You pull it out the painting of the cake and paint over it or alter it. You can also change it entirely."
So, which ones are the truly new pieces?
"Many, too many to list… There are over 70 new paintings of eyeballs and faces alone in an installation piece; 12 more faces on porcelain plates. Many landscapes featuring icebergs in reflective pools of the ocean. Many new surreal paintings of barnacles dancing on water."
Did all of your work in the gallery have a connecting theme?
"My overall theme is the human connection and disconnect with nature. Many pieces illustrate our deep connection with the natural world, and other paintings are fantasies within that concept. Sometimes a painting functions as a lamentation for the parts of ourselves that we lose when we disconnect with nature. I also like to explore objects such as icebergs which are temporary since they melt. Their beauty, like a rose, is not always long-lived.
Many topics are questions I seek answers for such as: What would the planet look like if we became extinct? How did life occur on earth? Does an inanimate object have a life force or energy, since it can be seen, observed, touched?…
Many things are fodder for my own whimsical, imagined world. Even when I paint serious subject matter, I feel it is important to have some whimsy, comedy, and lightheartedness."
The time allotted to you since I first interviewed you and now is rather short. Was it difficult to produce the new work in that time?
"It was definitely a challenge to create so much work in a short span of time. I worked hard painting after work, late at night, and on the weekends. I had my own homework up to my ears!"
When did you finish the last piece before the showing?
"I finished the last painting, "Sandy Barnacle," the day I delivered the paintings on Sunday, Feb. 5! I finished "Let Your Fingers Do The Walking" on Feb. 4."

If you're one of Simon Porte Jacquemus's 280k Instagram followers then you'll know all about his love affair with his native South of France.
Now the 27-year-old designer has now made this love for Marseille and the surrounding Calanques official, with the opening of two exhibitions, the release of a book and a big public fashion show, all of which reflect his nostalgia for everything he grew up with in that region in the 80s: lashings of blue and white, tons of stripes and dots and plenty of sun and fruit.
Jacquemus has created Marseille je t'aime as the guest of honour for the 2017 edition of OpenMyMed festival. It includes a double exhibition featuring Maisons (for which he created his first sculptures) and Archives (a photographic experience that references Willi Dorner's human sculptures for Bodies in Urban Spaces).
There's also Images at the MuCEM, for which he "came up with a more fun and direct installation using my personal images and inspirations, in a patchwork of real and poetic videos: a flower, a shoe, my cousin, a moment of life…" To give people real insight into what excites him, he says he wanted the public "to get inside my phone" (the repository for all the visuals that stir us).
On the weekend, Jacquemus also staged Marseille's first major fashion show, presenting his Spring-Summer 2017 collection on the Place d'Armes du fort Saint-Jean. "Les Santons de Provence is the one collection of mine that was absolutely made to be shown in Marseille, on Marcel Pagnol's land. It was a dream," he says.
If you can't make it down to Marseille, there's still something for you. He's made a book "with friends, artists from all around the world, bringing them together in this city that I love, mixing their work, Marseille and my vision. Sharing Marseille beyond borders." Marseille je t'aime contains exclusive images from 20 artists, including photographers Pierre-Ange Carlotti and David Luraschi and contemporary artist Ruth Van Beek.

What's Best For Your Pet? The Denton Vet vs. The Mobile Vet
The next time you need a Denton vet, think about what you want in a vet. With the Mobile Vet, not only is your pet better taken care of, but you are! We come to YOU. Dr. Rod Munsell can offer a stress-free, high-quality experience.
Is this you heading for a traditional Denton vet? Maybe this is something you go through with your cat, but I'm guessing you've experienced this before. You've probably experienced some other things as well - driving along only to realize your precious pet just threw up in the backseat, making it to the Denton vet clinic late, waiting in line for your usual Denton vet with a host of hostile animals (poor Fido) . . . yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Maybe you've just accepted this. Maybe you want a better pet care experience, but can't think of one. Well, there is a better way; there is a solution. Even if you are one of the lucky few who don't have a problem with the traditional Denton vet clinic, there's another, better option you should consider.
What is this amazing solution? What else could there be besides a trip to a usual Denton vet? Two words: Mobile. Vet. Have I sparked your interest? I hope so. A mobile vet is exactly what it sounds like - a vet who will travel to your location at your convenience. This is something that a traditional Denton Vet is obviously not capable of. How exactly does that work? Well, in my case, I'm a vet who worked in clinics for over twenty years. I recognized a problem that many pet owners had: difficulty or inability to bring their pet to the clinic. For example, older women and men with large dogs that they couldn't handle. Or older dogs that couldn't stand the trip. Not to mention the normal, everyday clients who just had busy schedules and pets that didn't like vets. It was a problem.
Now, as a mobile vet, I understand why people want a vet who can travel to their homes. Because of my previous experience with people who actually braved all these situations for a Denton vet – mainly because they had no other choice – I can personally recommend a mobile vet. Now, I worked in a clinic myself. There's nothing wrong with any Denton vet clinic! They just aren't able to serve your pet as well as a mobile vet can. Here are some things I offer that a normal Denton vet doesn't have the ability or time to propose:
● A stress-free visit. Let me put some emphasis on that. A stress-free visit. A house call visit takes so much of the chaos out of your pet care experience. We do the driving. We bring everything to you. We'll even call to confirm the appointment!
· ● Better health care. I'm not claiming to be a miracle worker, but because I work in your home, I have a slight advantage over most Denton vets. I can see what your pet comes into contact with, and your pet will also be easier to work with in the comfort of their own home. I also can apply a greater amount of focus than a traditional Denton vet, because I don't have a line waiting outside my door. We think you'll really like that part. I'm also completely devoted to your animals in a way that a traditional Denton vet doesn't have time for.
· ● Better interaction between doctor and patient. As a mobile vet, I travel to your home and can have a better relationship with you and your pet! Vets in Denton do a great job, and they can be very friendly, but they don't usually have the ability to travel to your house. The average Denton vet has an extremely busy schedule. I want to meet you and your animal. If you have any questions, I can answer them! I'll give you detailed explanations on what I'm doing. You get a play-by-play commentary of our nose to tail exam, assessment and and treatment plan.
· ● Convenience!
Right now, for a limited time, I'm offering some great promotions to make it easier for you and your pet to experience a house call and the benefit of my services. When your pets need some healthcare, consider a mobile vet instead of a traditional Denton vet. My first house call visit fee is free. This is a value of over $30. It can be used with our other promotions, which include Military discounts, Senior discounts, Multipet discounts (get all your animals checked at the same time for a discount!) and even a Neighborly discount. Most Denton vets can't offer all of these. More information is at mobilevet1.com/

Live concerts are meticulously coordinated events, with dedicated roadies ensuring that each instrument is tuned and that each baby knows when it's time to crawl onstage. See a seamless show with this GrouponLive deal to the Marin Symphony's Ingenious Interplay concert at the Marin Center in San Rafael. Choose from the following seating options:
- For $16, you get one seat in dress-circle rows 32–34 (up to a $39.05 value, including all fees).
- For $28, you get one seat in dress-circle rows 28–30 (up to a $66.50 value, including all fees).
- For $40, you get one seat in dress-circle rows 21–26(up to an $82.90 value, including all fees).

Choose between the following performances: * Sunday, March 4, at 3 p.m. * Tuesday, March 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Ingenious Interplay celebrates the Marin Symphony's 59th season by pairing two contemporary pieces by Estonian classical composer Arvo Pärt with four of Bach's famous Brandenburg concertos. Concertmaster Jeremy Constant's sprightly violin solos gradually give way to cinematic menace in Pärt's Fratres, which audiences may recognize from the film There Will Be Blood in the scene where Daniel Day Lewis teaches his son how to apply a fake mustache. Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten elegizes the titular English composer with mournful strings and tubular bells, and the complex orchestration of Bach's Brandenburg concertos no. 1, 3, 4, and 5 capture the whimsy and regality of the Baroque era. Prior to the show, ticketholders can explore the music's history and learn how to clean a trumpet with peanut butter with conductor Alasdair Neale during a free one-hour discussion. A Tuesday-night wrap party invites guests to hobnob with the orchestra over drinks and complimentary hors d'oeuvres at the nearby Embassy Suites. The Frank Lloyd Wright–designed Marin Center sends showgoers to and from the 1,960-seat Memorial Auditorium amid leaping arches and soaring atria.

First mentioned by a dying Provine as the new location of the Federation's Control complex, the hunt for Star One involved Blake, Servalan and Travis each with their own reasons for finding it. It turned out to be located on a single planet circling a white dwarf well outside the galaxy proper, and thus the first star to be encountered by anyone travelling between the Milky Way and M31. The Fool on Goth gave its co-ordinates as "grid reference C17320 in the 11th Sector", a position Jenna later described as imprecise. The planet itself was cold, temperatures rising above freezing point only around the equator during the day. The computer complex was underground, and shielded by some unspecified means. The teleport could not work through this shield, though this was probably coincidental. Orac was able to access Star One's computers, since he mentioned making a cursory analysis of the systems concerned with the antimatter minefield.
Control was moved from Earth, according to Travis in Pressure Point, some thirty years before Blake's attack on Earth, but Travis also later reported, on Freedom City, having seen Docholli "two years ago". Lurena, one of the technicians on Star One, was young enough to have had to have been a child when Control was moved from Earth, as were most of the other technicians seen there. Perhaps she had spent some of her time in suspended animation (to extend the period of time over which she and her colleagues would be present?), or Control was moved from Earth to an interim location whilst Star One was under construction. Alternatively, Travis might have been misinformed or lying.
Many of the technicians Docholli operated on thirty technicians who had built Star One (other cybersurgeons may have operated on additional personnel, but this is never indicated). Those that chose to remain there were possibly different people altogether. At least twelve people were present at the complex when Blake arrived, although all but one was in fact an alien infiltrator. Named technicians were Stot, Parton, Lurena, Marcol, Leeth and Shokov. Blake killed "Stot", Avon killed "Parton" and one other, Lurena killed "Shokov" and was herself killed along with four others by an explosive device planted by Blake. At least three other aliens were unaccounted for.
Star One was, from what Durkim said, responsible for climate control on many frontier worlds (Sooni, Vilker, Palmero, Carthenis and Heeron were mentioned) and for Computer Flight Co-ordination, sabotage of which caused the collision of the Nova Queen with an unmanned ore carrier above Keldon City. It also maintained and monitored the antimatter minefield sown by the Federation to keep out the threat of an invasion from M31. Durkim referred to no rain on Sooni and continual rainfall on Vilker for 60 days, suggesting that alien interference in Star One's systems might have begun about this time. Travis in The Keeper said that Star One "controls climate on more than 200 worlds, communications, security, food production... it is the key to our very lives."
Avon on the surface Travis acquired the location of Star One from the brainprint left on Goth by Lurgen. Blake found the information hypnotically planted in the Charl's Fool: by travelling at Standard by 12 he arrived hours, if that, ahead of Travis, who may have acquired one of the aliens" ships along the way (it was of a type Jenna could not recognise). Blake, Avon and Cally teleported down.
Entrance Blake abandoned his intention to destroy Star One when the alien threat became apparent, and Liberator remained in the vicinity to hold off the alien fleet until Federation reinforcements could arrive. Federation Battle Commander Squadron 6 reported the aliens destroying Star One during a surprise counterattack at some point during the war.
Liberator in front of Star One Cally pointed out that "many, many people" would die with the loss of Star One, a toll Blake was prepared to accept. The after effects of its destruction, however, were never remarked upon after the War except in Aftermath, when Servalan told Avon that "half the civilised planets" were now left to their fate.

The different effects with text alone is infinite. Let your imagination go and STAY OUT OF THAT BOX!!!!
Born in Los Angeles in the middle of the last century, I have always wanted to be a writer. After twenty-five some odd years spent working in the computer industry in the heart of the Silicon Valley, first for Lockheed as a Systems Programmer and later for Cisco Systems as a test tool developer, I managed to retire early and begin my next career as a self-published author.
Along with writing and publishing my own novels I also publish the works of my wife, Melanie Jackson. During the past four years I've published well over 100 books in paperback and eBook formats. Oddly enough this includes eBooks on how to self-publish books and how to create professional looking book covers using the GIMP. I've also recorded and distributed a pair of audiobooks available for purchase on Amazon and Audible. Finally, I spend a portion of my time maintaining both my website and my wife's website, which was developed using WordPress.
My last endeavor, begun in July of 2014, was to record training courses for distribution via Udemy. My goal was to provide low cost high quality screen cast based educational material focusing on my area of expertise; namely, self-publishing and book cover design using the GIMP.

Glendale Applies for Nearly $800K in Grants from Longtime Nemesis Tohono O'odham Nation
An artist rendering of the Tohono O'odham Nation's proposed West Valley casino
A Glendale City Council decision to apply for nearly $800,000 from the Tohono O'odham Nation signals a major shift in the city's relationship with the Indian community and reveals the city's newfound perspective of the TON's plans to build a resort-style casino in the West Valley.
Council members of the cash-strapped city voted unanimously to submit various grant applications for money that is part of a revenue sharing program in which all gaming tribes are required by law to participate.
For years, Glendale officials -- both elected and appointed -- fought bitterly in Maricopa County Superior Court, U.S. District Court and in the court of public opinion and spent millions of dollars to stop the Nation from moving forward with its casino plans.
Last week, Glendale decided to try and reach into the tribe's pocket.

Glendale didn't just fight in legal arenas -- the city exhausted its political capital using Arizona Governor Jan Brewer and Arizona's U.S. lawmakers, including Congressman Ed Pastor and Congressman Trent Franks. City officials, working closely with the Gila River Indian Community, leveraged those lawmakers' support and got them to propose legislation to block the casino.
GRIC opposed the TON's casino plans because, at present, GRIC is the only tribe with a West Valley casino. A new casino would undoubtedly cut into their market share.
Glendale and GRIC were once close allies. But now, Glendale is sidling up to the TON.
As part of the 2002 voter-approved gaming compacts, which allow the tribes sole authority to operate casinos in Arizona, tribes were required to dole out a fraction of their revenues to cities, towns or counties for services that would benefit the public.
- City officials agreed on June 10 to apply for the money for the following projects:
- Glendale Public Libraries - $101,699: More library space
- Glendale Gets Healthy-Fitness and Nutrition Program - $47,639.55: After-school program to combat childhood obesity
- Youth Sports Program - $43,056: Sports programs for children 4 to 17 years old.
- Police Department - $136,500: Purchase of two crime scene response vehicles
- Police Department - $60,164.12: Purchase of ten mobile data computers for cop cars.
- Fire Department - $376,704: Upgrade and refurbish the fire department's 32 heart monitors purchased in 2006.

And I am finally able to say I was alive to see the Islanders win a playoff series, as I was born merely months after the Islanders sent Jagr packing for the first time. Now I have witnessed the Islanders sending Jagr packing again.
Sort of:
See this is going to be a long story, one that goes beyond hockey. Saturday, April 9th, The Red Bulls had a home match vs. Sporting Kansas City. As a member of the Empire Supporters Club, I also am one of three main drummers in the group. We each take turns on the drum game by game. Except that game, none of us were able to go due to work and travel commitments, so we had to get one random guy to drum. suffice to say things were bad. So well before Game 6 was announced, I committed to being there last Sunday to prevent it from happening again. I was hoping it would be an early game, but of course the NHL sets it for the exact same time. So I was walking to my car from Red Bull Arena after a thrilling 3-2 win over Orlando City when I saw that the Islanders tied it with under a minute to go in the third. And who else but John Tavares to tie it?
I get to my car and I notice that I needed food badly. Overtime had just started, so I went to the Wendy's in Harrison, NJ to get food. One problem: no commercials on radio during the dry scrape. Even if there was one, it wouldn't be long enough to cover running inside and getting food, since the drive-thru was backed up. Once overtime ended, I got food, ate in my car and left for home.
I'm now driving on the Garden State Parkway, and I'm now nervous for two reasons: 2-OT and I'm low on gas. I'm listening intently while trying to make it to the rest stop with enough fuel, when I suddenly hear this.
Then in true soccer fashion, to tie the two sports together, I did the only thing I could've done: My best Andres Cantor impression:
No joke, I was shouting "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLL!!!" In my car for about 10 minutes. Even broke out the Spanish with "¡QUE GOLASO DE JOHN TAVARES!" and "¡LOS ISLEÑOS GANAR!" which translates to "THE AMAZING GOAL OF JOHN TAVARES!" and "THE ISLANDERS WIN!"
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. And we sing in both English and Spanish at the games. So thus the Spanish overflows.
Plus goal calls sound better in Spanish, as Arley Londono proves on the radio in South Florida.
Ok now that this is done, let's pick the Islanders-Tampa series. Or all of them for that matter. Let's start with San Jose and... oh...
Round 2 begins before round 1 is over, as the Islanders and Lightning begin their series the same night as Game 7 between Anaheim and Nashville, with the winner to face San Jose in Round 2. I know you're saying "How the (heck, H-E-Double hockey stick, or f***) are we supposed to negotiate this for the playoff pool. I present to you, an Edit by Ryan!
The 2nd Round of the Playoff will begin on Wednesday...before the 1st Round is complete! This will affect the Playoff Pool and submitting picks. I have determined the fairest way to deal with this is to give everyone two days of Round 2 for free.
You get to watch the Islanders-Lightning game before you submit your picks. You will also get to watch all Thursday games if you wish, before submitting your picks.
Round 2 picks will be due by FRIDAY at noon Eastern time.
Just a heads up.
Ok so I edited the post to fit the same exact thing he said yesterday. So maybe an edit by Ryan and Phil?
But your problem is now solved! Get your picks ready. Do me a favor and don't change your original thoughts based on how the Islanders-Lightning game goes on Wednesday. Honor system. Just a personal request.
While you're checking that out above, check out the RHI vote! Easy vote, as not many sent in entries. I couldn't due to time constraints and computer troubles, but life gets in the way sometimes. Regardless, these concepts still need votes, so VOTE!
While you're voting, check out our COTW vote. We have it every week, so the only things that change, or at least should change, are the nominated concepts and you not voting. Emphasis on changing the latter.

Alan S: Detroit Red Wings Concept
Not the cleanest Photoshop job to isolate the jerseys.This seems like a team Sweden recolor. But that's not a bad look for the Wings. However, I swear if I see those Adidas stripes on an actual NHL jersey I will lose it. Red wings jerseys have the C on the opposite side of the jersey, because of the end of their logo. Also it should be larger. I'd like to see equipment as well as the back to these jerseys.
Flying solo here: 65%
Connor L: Team North America U-23 (WCH) Concept
I love this so much but I would've done one thing: The way you put XXIII on the sleeves makes it wrap around and say XXIIIXXIII. Put half of it on the sleeve so it looks centered like the sleeve numbers. the Adidas logo on the sleeve looks bad so just ditch it or make it look centered like the numbers.
Well, your score isn't U-23: 70%
Jared L: Boston Bruins Concept
ID like to see some ID on your concepts. OK that joke was dumb. I do like seeing a yellow Bruins jersey, but I would prefer their current logo. The serifs on the B in the current logo improve the look of it. Chest numbers have not been a favorite of mine. I lived with them for about 4 years with the Isles and it was 4 too many. The outer stripes are too thin for my liking, especially since the yellow goes up against the white on the first jersey. I think yellow stripes with black outlines would look fantastic. On the yellow jersey I'd like to see the logo as is and not recolored as you have it,
Best yet IMO: 73%
Jared L: Buffalo Sabres Concept
I think I see what you're doing here. You're trying to merge eras of the red and black with the blue and gold. However, based on the logo you are using, which is too big mind you, red is best used as a trim color. I like the font choice, but again with the front numbers. I know the Sabres have them now, but they shouldn't. Sleeve numbers are also too low. No ID-ea why I keep making bad jokes about not having ID.
A cut below your previous: 52%
Lucas D: Toronto Planets (RHL) Concept
I'm going to review these together.
I think that logo is FANTASTIC. However the outline you have here isn't thick enough to warrant an aqua colored jersey. Purple would probably be better. here. Much better logo than what they originally had. The jersey striping is perfect for the logo. There's really nothing else I can sat about this except for wanting equipment.
Out of this world: 82%
Ryan C: Lethbridge Hurricanes (WHL) Concept
I love how the blue on the shoulders form an H on the front. Modern and unique look for the Canes. Absolute brilliance. Execution issues: Where are the pants and gloves? You have half of the equipment here already. There's also no CHL logo on the back hem. I wonder if this look would look great with a modern Hartford Whalers look....
There was no calm before this storm. But that's a good thing: 88%
Ryan C: Sherbrooke Phoenix (QMJHL) Concept
Ditching the shield and the vintage white actually works. It's similar enough to the Toronto Maple Leafs but different enough to establish it's own look. Simple, classic and no complaints other than the same execution issues I mentioned in your Lethbridge concept.
Rising from the ashes: 88%
Spencer M: Team Canada concept
Simple looks and a red jersey that is going places. But it can't go further until you clean up your work. White jersey is a paint-bucket syndrome with a small logo and no sleeve numbers. The red jersey has a different shade of red unnecessarily. The leaves on the shoulders need to be positioned horizontally. No sleeve numbers again. Number is too low as well as too big. Logo is too small. Striping should overlap stitching. Where are the pants? I'd love to see them.
Decent start but far to go: 37%
The winner of my COTW nomination is nobody! We have a tie this week between two concepts by the same artist. So I don't want to nominate an artist with two equally good concepts. So YOU decide.
I hope to see you guys next week. I have some HUGE jersey news that I'm currently working to confirm. All I can say is that one team may be bringing in some heritage jerseys, and I don't mean the Heritage Classic. WHICH TEAM? WHICH THROWBACKS? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON DRAGON BALL Z!!

Pete Anderson, trainer and jockey who rode Forego, dead at 82
Pete Anderson, a jockey who once rode Forego and a trainer who had strings of horses for top Florida breeders, died on Tuesday at Palmetto General Hospital in Hialeah, Fla., after suffering a heart attack, according to his daughter, Aggie Ordonez. Anderson was 82.
Anderson rode Forego for 10 of the three-time Horse of the Year's first 11 races, including the gelding's maiden win and his fourth-place finish in the 1973 Kentucky Derby. But Anderson, who was short but relatively stocky, had trouble making weight on the colt, and he was replaced by Heliodoro Gustines, who rode the horse until being replaced late in 1976, first by Jacinto Vasquez and then by Bill Shoemaker.
Anderson won most of the major stakes races of his time, including the Acorn, Ashland, Top Flight, and Gazelle, and he regularly rode the top horses Bold Bidder, Verbatim, Cannonade, and Stupendous. When telling the story of his 1958 Belmont win, he often said that Cavan's victory was given short shrift because of the breakdown of Tim Tam in the stretch.
"Cavan was leaving Tim Tam before he took that bad step," Anderson told Jay Hovdey of Daily Racing Form in 2010. "No way he was beating my colt that day."
Following his retirement as a jockey, he took out his trainer's license and settled in Florida, where he was a fixture at Calder Race Course. During his second career, he trained horses for John Nerud, John Brunetti, Hobeau Farms, and Tartan Farms, Ordonez said. Ordonez is a trainer based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
In recent years, Anderson trained the stakes winners Delightful Kiss, Chary, and Wild Mia. Delightful Kiss, a multiple stakes winner, won more than a million dollars during his 36-race career. When he was shipped to California, Anderson put the horse under his daughter's name as a trainer. She took over ownership of the horse in 2012.
Ordonez said she had last visited her father with the rest of her family in Florida one week before his death. Anderson had a heart attack around New Year's, Ordonez said, but he had been feeling better since being released from the hospital in late January before taking a turn for the worse this week.
"He had me drive him out to Calder to cash a ticket, because he had bet on a couple of my horses," Ordonez said.
Ordonez said that her father was "devoted to horses" throughout his life. Born in Long Island in 1931, Anderson got his first job at Belmont Park when he was 12 years old.
"He loved horses so much, probably more than he loved people," she said. "All animals, really – dogs and cats. If he found a stray, they wound up at our house. He always put the horse first. As long as he had a horse, I never worried about him."

Would Diablo be decent for an intermediate level rider on a XC oriented hardtail? A buddy wants to ride it in a few weeks, and I ride a hardtail 29er. What do you guys think? Do a lot of guys take off the rack light hardtails up to Diablo? Thanks.

750,000 people walk through every day Grand Central Terminal is also the main terminal for the Metro-North Railroad, which travels to upstate New York, including Westchester County, and to Connecticut. There are lots of different ways to get around in New York City. One of the easiest ways to get anywhere in the city is through use of the subway. The subway travels the entire length and width of New York City, with stops at every main section. If you plan on using the subway, you will encounter Grand Central Terminal.
Look Up, But Don't Stumble
There is beauty all around at Grand Central Terminal, including straight up! When you head to Grand Central Terminal, make sure you look up in the Main Concourse. You might want to be standing still when you do, as the constellations on the ceiling can get you dizzy, and it wouldn't be good to bump into a hurried passenger! The ceiling has been painted to look like the night sky, and many famous constellations are there, including Orion, the hunter, and Pegasus, the winged horse.
Is There A Garden In There?
Grand Central Market is located on the main concourse level. Grand central market has a number of active shops, including Penzey's Spices, where you can buy any spice for much less than it costs you in a grocery store. Greenwich Produce is at the end of Grand Central Market, and is filled with some of the freshest produce in New York City. Imagine, fresh produce in a train station! It would only happen in New York.
Electricity Is Romantic?
Some of the stars in the ceiling are lit with electricity, so that they can be seen easily, day or night. Looking at the domed ceiling during the daytime is amazing, but the entire view changes as dusk falls. The lit stars make for a very romantic setting, and in a city where the buildings block the view of the sky sometimes, New Yorkers have to take advantage of the sky, whether real or painted, wherever they can get it!
A True New York Meal…Quick and Easy
For a quick meal, you can grab some bread at Zaro's Bread Basket, some cheese at Murray's Cheese, a cup of coffee at Oren's Daily Roast, and some chocolate for dessert at Li-Lac Chocolates. Unlike the center of New York, where you have to travel blocks to find specialty stores, Grand Central Market has them all located, very conveniently, steps away from each other!
The Main Concourse
Directly inside the building is the area known as the Main Concourse. This is a huge area that is generally filled with crowds. There is an information booth right in the middle of the Main Concourse as well as a clock that has a face in every direction, which is very well-known. The face of the clocks are made from the semi-precious stone, Opal, and the clock itself has been valued to be worth between $10 and $20 million dollars.
What's An Oyster Bar?
One level down from the Main Concourse is the Dining Concourse. This area is where all of the fast food outlets, and restaurants, are housed. The world famous Oyster Bar is probably the most well known restaurant in the Dining Concourse. It was begun in 1913 and has since become known as the best place to get seafood in New York. Back then, many of the high-society New Yorkers were the only ones to frequent the restaurant, but now anyone who makes a reservation and wants to buy good food can have a meal there.
Being An Engineer, The Easy Way
The New York Transit Museum is located inside of Grand Central Terminal as well. This museum is focused on showing visitors exactly how trains got started. There are workshops and a resource center. The museum has the honor of being the largest museum in the entire United States to be devoted to the history of public transportation! It makes sense, in a way, that if you are going to be riding on the train, you may as well understand how it works!
Dunking The Beef
Michael Jordan, the dunking master, decided one day that he wanted to have his own restaurant. Instead of creating a beautiful, gourmet restaurant somewhere in Los Angeles, he decided to open Michael Jordan's Steak House in New York City. And, realizing that sometimes train riders get extremely hungry, decided to locate it in Grand Central Terminal. The steak house has a delicious menu to choose from, whether you're a carnivore or vegetarian, and an extensive list of wines to choose from.

Located on the Mt. Rose Highway, 30 minutes from Reno is the oldest non-profit ski and snowboard training facility in America, Sky Tavern. Since 1948, tens of thousands of kids have been taught skiing and snowboarding with some going on to greatness as members of the US Ski Team. Tamara McKinney and Reno's first Olympic Gold Medalist, David Wise, both got their skiing starts at Sky Tavern as have many more champions!
Sky Tavern is best known for the Junior Ski Program, a volunteer staffed program, operating winter weekends with the parents helping for a few hours. Some parents are instructors, while others work in support roles such as the cafeteria, lift lines or other positions. Sky Tavern may best be described as a co-op. Parent and other adults giving up time, talent and treasure to run a training ski area for the kids.
Sky Tavern has a large number of certified ski and snowboard instructors and coaches that oversee all training. Lessons range from first time on the snow to advance all mountain and alpine racing. Instruction starts at age three for kids with parents joining or nine for kids wanting to come up on the bus program and continues through high school ages. And yes, there are even lessons for Mom and Dad!
A weekend only program starting in January, the objective is to provide a safe and fun environment that fosters learning, family fun, trust and a lifelong love of winter sports at as low a price as possible. Lessons are in the morning and kids have the afternoon to show off what they've learned by free skiing. Mom and Dad can take lessons after lunch or try to keep up with the kids on the snow!
Mountain biking has gone on at Sky Tavern since the beginning of the sport, but now the nonprofit has plans to expand from just winter operations to offer summer programs and recreation too and bikes will play a large part of that. The goal is to make Sky Tavern the center of area biking, with trails up to the Mt. Rose summit and down to Galena Park.
It started by building two advanced level downhill trails from top to bottom, a dual slalom course near our winter terrain park and a cross country single track. Sky Tavern has hosted collegiate races for the University of Nevada for the past 3 years with great success but more groups need to be able to ride here.
Kids and families are always at the forefront of any Sky Tavern plan, so construction has multiple phases starting with building skills areas in the base area at the lodge and climbing trails to the rest of the mountain. Once those are completed, events for kids, families and devoted bikers can begin. Racing, demo days, events and a mirror image of the Jr. Ski Program on wheels are all on the list of things to come. After that more trail construction will happen. Sky Tavern will become where some first experience the sport on easy flowing trails and where adrenaline junkies can jump all day. Some days the chairlift will get you to the top, some days you will be all on your own! This will be fun, fun for everyone!
Building sustainable trails is not cheap and Sky Tavern needs miles of them. Currently in the process of applying for grants to help fund the building of your community bike park, we also plan to sell trail supporter passes, engage in crowd funding, find business partners, do anything to get this built. You can show your support by getting involved or donating today.
With lift-served access on the outskirts of Reno, the Sky Tavern Bike Park already provides a downhill track and a dual slalom course. The proposed new trail will feature a mix of natural features and machine-built sections, including natural rock gardens, steep rolldowns, jumps, and berms, dropping 650 vertical feet.
Sky Tavern is a blank page and can only be made great through the efforts of those that feel the outdoors is important for everyone but especially kids. Let's build something.
LIVE MUSIC: 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm
LOCATION: Aspens at Sky Tavern
COST: FREE w/suggested $10 adult donation
Bring your picnic, blanket and low back chairs.
Sky Tavern will supply BBQ's with hot coals.
Beer, soda, water & snacks for purchase.
Eric Stone played the inaugural performance at Sky Tavern's newly created Aspens venue in 2013. After three great seasons of summer music at Sky Tavern since, it will be fantastic to have Eric return for another show.
Eric is a singer/songwriter, now with his 13th CD "Time to Fly". He has a huge loyal fan base that rivals major label acts.
Sprinkled through the titles of Eric's CDs lie a string of island adventures. Stories lived and memories made by this talented sailing, surfing, songwriting singer. His music is a mix of rock, pop and country. A "Jimmy Buffett" type performer with island, nautical, and even reggae inspired tunes.
Eric is a riot ... he does have a certain lifestyle that includes certain songs about boats, bars, beaches and ballads... Great fun! Bill Henderson/Sky Tavern Executive Director
Stone's "Time to Fly" CD is an instant classic... Robert Lipkin/Cruising Outpost Magazine
"Songs for Sail" has sold over 100,000 copies making it certified gold, no small feat, considering that it was an independent release... Jan Heins/All At Sea Magazine
Eric packed the house every single night... Charles Tobias/Pusser's Resort, Marina Cay, British Virgin Island

@ The new Aztec Student Union
This ThatCamp is special because it is organized through a unique collaboration between 4 regional institutions: San Diego State University, UCSD, Cal State University at San Marcos, and University of San Diego. Inspired by the open, grass-roots efforts of our regional networking group, DHSoCal, this ThatCamp promotes working together and collaborating across disciplinary, departmental, and institutional divides.
All ThatCamps are open to all kinds of campers, but this one is envisioned as a way to get new folks engaged in the DH and to create new networks of collaboration. So, if you have any kind of inkling to learn about the Digital Humanities– whether you're already a dedicated digital humanist researcher or an absolute newbie, whether you are a student, teacher, or curious community member– come to camp!
Our ThatCamp is about jumping into the Digital Humanities, getting wet, and learning to swim.
Dive in. The water's fine!
