North Suncoast alumni updates
A quick look at how some notable North Suncoast alumni are faring:
Ex-Mitchell RB Ricky Trinidad has transferred from Nebraska-Kearney to Colorado Mesa, his family said in a recent email. He earned honorable mention all-conference honors at UNK last fall and will be a junior at the NCAA Division II school in Grand Junction.
Former Pasco star Janarion Grant is still impressing coaches as a true freshman receiver at Rutgers. He could see time on special teams, according to NJ.com, and coach Kyle Flood said Grant "continues to make plays" for the Scarlet Knights during practice.
At Georgia Southern, Nature Coast alum Matt Breida has made it onto the depth chart at running back, according to the Statesboro Herald. The newspaper has also noted that Breida's county rival and roommate, Hernando product Tyrail Hawkins, is lining up at cornerback. He played everything from quarterback to cornerback to running back for the Leopards in high school.
Wesley Chapel product Greg Jenkins had his first two NFL catches, for 17 yards, for the Raiders in last week's preseason game against the Saints. He added a 12-yard punt return and a 24-yard kickoff return.

A little over three years ago, Rob Mullowney made his way into a British Columbia rink to watch a hockey game.
And to wait for the moment when he would effectively become unemployed.
The rink was Vancouver's GM Place. The game was the 2010 Olympic gold-medal final between Canada and the United States.
Mullowney, a native of St. John's, was a member of the Vancouver Organizing Committee's marketing and sponsorship team.
Two years previous, when he was hired and asked to list his goals for his new job, he included, "to be in the building if Canada got into the gold-medal game" in men's hockey.
"I was fortunate enough to have been asked to be venue marketing manager for the Games at Canada Hockey Place, which meant I spent the full tournament — every game, every day — in that building," said Mullowney, now vice-president of operations for the American Hockey League's St. John's IceCaps.
"I went through all the ups and downs with Team Canada, but they got to the gold-medal game and so I was in the building for that game and I found a spot in the press-box area, which for the Olympics are in the middle of the stands.
"And there I was, 10 rows back of centre ice and in front of Chris Cuthbert, who was calling the game (for TSN). It was one of the best spots in the house.
"Canada went ahead 2-0 and you felt it was going to the perfect ending, because we'd not only be winning in the sport that means the most to us, but because it would mean we would set a record for most gold medals by a host country in the history of the Winter Olympics.
"Then, things started going the other way. It was 2-1 and then 2-2 and then it was overtime. But Sidney Crosby scored to give us what was probably an even more perfect ending.
"I put my hands up in the air and cheered and celebrated with everyone else. But in all that elation, this little voice that was in the back of my head all game started to get real loud.
"It went from 'Yeahhh, we won the gold medal!!!!!' to 'Shoot, I'm out of a job.'
"I always realized it was coming. You pretty much knew on the day you started which day your job would end. But it was still very surreal."
Mullowney wasn't out of work for long. He did some consulting work for the American Hockey League's Abbotsford Heat, which was to begin play in the fall of 2010. He then joined the TwentyTen Group, made up of alumni of the Olympic Games sales and marketing organization, which had set a record for most sponsorship money raised for any Winter Olympic Games.
In that job, Mullowney worked as a consultant with the Canadian Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee and the Vancouver Whitecaps, a Major League Soccer expansion franchise.
He liked his job.
A lifelong passion
He and his family — wife Mary-Lynn and daughters Peyton and Maeve — very much enjoyed living on Canada's west coast. But Mullowney, who had spent seven years with the AHL's St. John's Maple Leafs before that team moved to Toronto in 2005, couldn't ignore an urge to get back into hockey which, as a game, has been a lifelong passion.
A forward for Bishops College and the St. John's AAA (now major midget) program, Mullowney spent three seasons in the local junior league with the Avalon Capitals, finishing as that team's captain, and went on to the senior ranks with the St. John's Caps, Goulds Pacers and later, the Mount Pearl Blades.
"But it was the experience of teaching at Randy Pearcey's hockey school, something I did for 15 years, that taught me that you could be involved with something you loved and still make a living at it."
While an undergraduate at Memorial, Mullowney saw a poster advertising a masters degree in sports administration at the University of New Brunswick. He applied, was accepted and as part of the program, wound up doing an internship with the AHL Leafs. He joined Glenn Stanford's small and young front-office group in 1998 and eventually took charge of sales and marketing.
When the Leafs' franchise moved, he very nearly moved with it to Toronto, but that was a lockout year and the job he was to have with Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment disappeared in a hiring freeze. So it was west to the Pacific, never thinking he'd be able to stay in his chosen profession and return to St. John's.
"When we moved the Vancouver, my youngest daughter was eight weeks old and my oldest was just four. Over four years, we were building a life in that part of the world and it was a good life," he said.
"Honestly, I never thought we'd go back to Newfoundland."
But Mullowney, who can't ever recall going coast-to-coast on the ice in his hockey career, would end up doing it twice in sports management.
The return trip began with an emotion felt just a few months after the Olympics ended.
"The Canucks were going to the Stanley Cup final that spring. That's the year they went to Game 7 (against the Boston Bruins).
"I just felt the excitement in the community and I said to myself, 'Why am I not part of something like that? It's what I love to do. It's what I want to do.'
"I told myself I had to find my way back."
So he began searching and in the spring of 2011, he was close to a job with the Edmonton Oilers. But during his fourth interview with Stew MacDonald, the Oilers' chief operating officer casually mentioned that word in the NHL community was St. John's — through the efforts of Danny Williams and Stanford — was going to get another AHL franchise, this time as the farm team of the Winnipeg Jets,
It was the first Mullowney had heard of it. But the next day he got a call from Stanford, who himself was returning to St. John's to become the IceCaps' chief operating officer.
Mullowney would say yes to his old boss's new job offer, but while it was what he wanted in so many ways, it turned out to be the toughest decision of his life.
"It was hardest for my daughters," said Mullowney. "All they really knew was living out there. It was where their friends were, where school was. It was their life. So they didn't understand at first. I have to say that moving them was the hardest thing I've had to do as a parent.
"But kids are pretty resilient. It took a little time, but things worked out."
So did his job with the IceCaps, which officially sees Mullowney overseeing the team's business operations, but in reality, involves a myriad of duties, with sponsorship, ticketing, social media, game operations and supporting others in the office when they need assistance.
He might be described Stanford's right-hand man, or since we're talking hockey, Stanford's right-wing.
Still, the job proved to be a scramble at the start, especially with Mullowney coming on board Sept. 7, 2011, with opening night just four weeks off.
"We were certainly a turnkey operation," he said. "And it was a challenge to get in front of things. Plus, we've had to do it with the smallest staff in the American Hockey League. But we have great people with great experience and with great drive. Without that, we would have never had the success in the first year, let alone be able to get things going."
There are those who say, that given the local economy, the appetite for AHL hockey seven years removed from the Maple Leafs, and the fact the majority of seats for IceCaps' games are filled by fans with three-year season ticket commitments, it was more of a push-button operation than a turnkey one.
Mullowney understands that perception, but says in reality, the team's success as a business creates its own demand — sort of like trying to maintain and service an engine that's running full-out, full-time.
"I can tell you that every single person who works for our team works 60 to 80 hours a week," he said. "We're continually trying to improve our product. We are never satisfied. We're driven to improve.
"That's what will make us a model franchise."
Assisting in that drive are fans who are knowledgeable about hockey ... and the hockey business. And with a total of 30,000 followers between Facebook and Twitter, plus email and the more traditional communication methods of phones and face-to-face talks, those fans are having their say.
"So much has changed since the Leafs' days," said Mullowney. "Fans in our market, whether its through the Web or through TV or through travel, have had more experience with NHL hockey or other sports markets.
"They know what they want and what they expect.
"No longer can you rest on your laurels. That's been a gigantic change. Fans do call us out on things they don't like and they also put forward suggestions. So we're using it as a business tool. That's not to suggest everything they don't like will be changed on a whim, but it's a big part of our consideration. For us, it's an important form of research.
"They are demanding of our team on the ice. They are demanding of our team off the ice. And that's the way it should be.
"It's a tough business. But if don't love this business, you're not going to last.
"And I love it."


text: 'Jessica was his little angel' January 5, 2003 Story Share Everyone remembers the weather that day. Hot. Sunny. A picture-perfect afternoon. How could anything so awful happen on such a magnificent day? "It was August 14, 1993. The sun was shining and the sky was the bluest color you could ever imagine," Tina Haber recalls. Nearly 10 years after the tragedy, she remembers details with the indelible clarity that accompanies life-altering events. "I was home on break from college. It was four days before my 21st birthday." She spent her birthday in the intensive care unit at Charleston Area Medical Center. On her milestone 21st birthday, family members buried her little sister. Her sister, 11-year-old Jessica Marie Ayers, was part of her expanded family, a sibling she gained through her mother's marriage to Charley Ayers Sr. of Pinch. On that fateful day in 1993, Tina took Jessie for a ride on an ATV. They joined the rest of the family for birthday cake. Then, Jessie begged Tina for another ride. Tina took her, of course. "She was like that," Tina said. "She would pester you until you did what she wanted. Such a funny little kid. She had a fun spirit that anyone would fall in love with." They were having a great time on the ATV. Then, disaster struck. Rumbling down the hill on the four-wheeler, gleeful Jessie holding on, Tina heard the gears make an odd, growling noise. "We were flying down this hill. There were no brakes. I tried first gear, but it was jammed in neutral. "I told Jessie to hang on. Maybe I should have told her to jump, but I didn't. She did what I said and hung on for her life. I was almost to the level ground when my wheel went into the ditch and drug us into a tree. We crashed." Breaking the eerie silence that followed, she called to Jessie, asking if she was all right. Again and again, she asked. "She never said a thing." A neighbor saw the injured girls — Tina in the ditch, Jessie lying beside the tree. He raced to the Ayers home. Alternating CPR with his brother, Charley Ayers tried to revive his daughter. "We had her breathing with a faint heartbeat," he said, "but she never regained consciousness. They lost her when she got to the emergency room." One life was lost, another irrevocably damaged. Tina remembers sweating and chilling and feeling faint, knowing somehow that this was how it must feel to die. "If the paramedics had not gotten to me when they had, I would not be here." Taken by helicopter to CAMC, she suffered life-threatening internal bleeding, a lacerated liver, crushed pelvis and a broken hand and arm. She required extensive surgery and extended rehabilitation to learn to walk again. She copes with chronic pain. "The accident changed her completely," said Tina's mother, Joy Ayers, Charley Ayers' second wife. "She was in college studying to be a teacher. With the stress of the wreck, her sister dying and her fear of being alone at WVU with the injuries she had, she didn't go back to school. She was too scared. "Even her personality changed. She used to be happy-go-lucky. Now, she's very serious. She doesn't do the spontaneous things she used to do. She won't get on a bike." Every day, the family passes the tree with the bark torn off, the one the girls crashed into. "A neighbor offered to cut it down," Joy said, "but we'd still see the stump and that would be twice as bad." Nobody agonizes over Jessie's death more than Tina. "Her life was taken at the blink of an eye, for something that I had no control over," Tina said, "and yet I feel responsible. This is something that I will have to live with the rest of my life." "Please don't blame my other daughter for the death of her sister," Charley Ayers said. "If you have to blame anyone, blame me, for it is the parents who let their children on the ATVs." The family fervently supports strict ATV regulations for young people. "They should wear helmets," Ayers said. "They ought to be more strict on it. I don't know if a helmet would have made a difference, but I am so sorry that I didn't ask her to wear one." Jessie dreamed of becoming a doctor, he said. "She was very bright. She made good grades. She'd be kind of bashful until she got to know somebody, but then she was windy and asked a lot of questions. She was very curious. She was my baby." "Jessica was his little angel," Joy Ayers said. "He always called her Jasper." Joy and Charley Ayers had been married about a year when Jessie died. "We took each other's children as our own," Joy said. "Jessie called me mom, but she missed her mother a great deal." Jessica lost her mother in 1991 after an eight-year battle with cancer. "All she talked about was seeing mommy in heaven." Tina likes to think that they're together. "Jessie always talked about heaven and that one day she would be with her mother. I believe Jessie is there right now, rejoicing and singing with the angels." To contact staff writer Sandy Wells, use e-mail or call 348-5173.

No, that's not quite true. If you looked beyond the keynote stage, there were plenty of technical sessions on Lotus Notes and Domino, including some on making Notes and Domino more social, but also lots of nuts-and-bolts tutorials on development and administration. After all, those were the technologies that attendees were most likely to have deployed on a large scale or (in the case of consultants and integrators) to be servicing for their clients.
[ Can't afford to pick wrong? See 10 Questions Before Choosing An Internal Social Network Platform ]
Because social business is my meal ticket, I got the most out of the case studies from TD Bank, 3M, Caterpillar, and others, as well as insights into social business strategy and the coming upgrades to the IBM Connections enterprise social platform.
Social business is exciting precisely because it's 90% vision, 10% reality at this stage. That means the possibilities are endless! Lotus Notes is boring because it has been overwhelmed by the practicalities of system administration and maintenance, including the challenge of integrating and modernizing legacy components--software that was once shiny and new but is now out of step with the latest system architectures and requirements. In the long run, social business technologists will have to deal with all of that. Already, they are facing the demand to integrate backward and meet the owners of platforms like Notes halfway.
Lotus Notes was the "groupware" sensation of the 1990s that cemented Ray Ozzie's reputation as a software innovator and led IBM to acquire Lotus in 1995. Born as a client-server system, Notes entered the Web era with Domino, a version of the Notes application server that worked with either a Notes client or a Web browser. Domino made it possible to create Web-based Notes applications, but many existing Notes applications never made the transition. One of the biggest applause generators in the Lotusphere opening day keynote was for a promised browser plugin that functions as a lightweight version of the Notes client. That would mean that applications designed with a Notes user interface could be made available on the Web without conversion.
Porting Notes applications to other platforms can be challenging because apps that take full advantage of the Notes document-oriented database don't translate neatly to Web architectures that rely on a relational database back end. Fortunately, IBM has replaced some of the early kludgey Domino Web application technologies with XPages, a Web 2.0 development framework that takes advantage of standard Web technologies such as XML, JavaServer Faces, and the Dojo Toolkit for JavaScript and AJAX. The result is a more-accessible and powerful Web user interface builder.
There is even a GBS Transformer utility that can automate the translation of older Notes apps to XPages. Lotus partner GBS claims that can save 90% of the cost of rewriting the applications manually.

JEANE Trend-Hill's hobby is anything but conventional. The 47- year-old visits cemeteries across Europe – to take photographs of tombstones.
She teams family holidays to places like Venice, Paris and Vienna and visits sites where hundreds of people were buried during the Victorian era.
She said: "I started photographing Victorian cemeteries and memorials to preserve their memories. Many are being lost, so I wanted to do something before it was too late.
"I really enjoy walking around cemeteries. A lot of people think it would be eerie, but I find it very peaceful.
"Some are creepier than others, but a lot of cemeteries are also really beautiful.
"The Victorian headstones have so much more detail than the ones today. It's interesting to learn so much about the people who are buried in them."
Jeane, from Langdon Hills, quit her job as a local authority fraud investigator in 2006, and is now a full-time headstone hunter.
Her love of photography stems back to her childhood. She said: "When my dad was alive he was a very talented photographer, so I was always brought up around cameras."
Her interest in all things Victorian, and in the afterlife, has also seeped into other aspects of her life and career.
She advises on the symbolism of graves, and has written 29 books, as well as articles for national newspapers and magazines.
She also studied mortuary science and criminology, and is involved with preserving monuments.
Jeane admitted holding back about her hobby when meeting new people.
She said: "If I am not sure how they're going to react, I hold back and tell them I'm just a photographer."
Jeane is not alone with her love of photographing gravestones, and a national competition takes place every year to showcase the unsung beauty of memorials.
Two years ago, Jeane was the winner, and for the past two years she has made it into the top ten finalists.
This year she was handed a bronze certificate in recognition of her photography.
Christopher Lodge, director of masonry at national funeral directors, Lodge Brothers, which sponsors the competition, said: "Memorials play a part in our social history."

Rios back in right after strong Saturday night
ARLINGTON -- Alex Rios has been slowed lately with a sprained ankle, but he showed Saturday that he can still impress with his arm and his bat.
Rios made two highlight-reel plays in the Rangers' 5-4 loss: a fine throw from right field to get Josh Hamilton at the plate in the fifth inning, and a two-run single with two outs in the seventh.
"Both felt good," Rios said of his contributions. "The throw was good because I saved a run from Colby [Lewis]."
Hamilton was so far out that he didn't bother to slide, instead coasting to a stop several feet from the plate and running into catcher Robinson Chirinos' tag. It was Rios' fifth assist from the outfield this season, and surely the least climactic.
"It's all the same, if you get him by 10 feet or 1 foot, it's an out," Rios said.
Manager Ron Washington had planned to use Rios at designated hitter on Sunday, but instead, he was in the lineup in right field. Sunday marked the first time Rios, who injured his right ankle just after the All-Star break, started in the outfield on three consecutive days.

Break Out the Barbell, Part I
I played hooky much of the day Wednesday. At the invitation of a longtime Real Money reader, I attended a spring training baseball game, taking in the sunshine and baseball-related conversations, though we did touch on the markets in the aftermath of Ben Bernanke's testimony on Capitol Hill. The Federal Reserve chairman consoled markets, saying that the majority of Fed governors favored continued quantitative easing and that the practice would continue for the foreseeable future. He said that the need to support the economy outweighed the risk of creating asset bubbles down the road. He sees no such bubble at this point, apparently.
This is a hard blow for traditional income investors. Rates are going to remain low for an extended period. Low-risk, interest-paying instruments such as Treasuries, CDs, municipal and even corporate bonds are not going to pay a high enough rate to provide the income needed to support a pre- or post-retirement lifestyle for many people. I am amazed that seniors groups have not stormed the Hill to protest the changes wrought upon them by the Fed's Zero Interest Rate Policy. Money is basically forced into riskier assets, and this can put principal -- even basic financial security -- at risk....608 more words left in this article.

The driver for the Intel Centrino Wireless-n 2230 can also be found at
Right at the bottom of the page is the download for the 2230. Lots of information on the page as well. Although I'm unclear about the difference between firmware and drivers.
On that page it says
A few times I've had pages unable to load. Even when I've got ethernet plugged in and 'connected', sometimes pages will not load (I have to disconnect and reconnect in Wicd and then the pages load). I'll have to do some more reading on firmware loading (whether it's enabled in my kernel) and the modprobe commands that people are mentioning (although I see no mention of modprobe on the Linux Wireless page, the one I linked to above). I've also got to do some reading in the ubuntu community documentation. I'll post again if I have any questions.The driver loads the firmware using the kernel's firmware_class infrastructure.
Another lspci command for finding out what hardware you have: lspci -n | grep xx:xx.x (where the x's are taken from the output of lspci | grep -i [word to look for]).
For example

Survey: UK Public is Unaware of Female Scientists

Dorothy Hodgkin, who discovered the structure of insulin
(Source: vcharkam)
Survey indicates a majority of the British population cannot name one female scientist
According to a recent poll by
, a public opinion researcher from England, two-thirds of British population (who participated in the survey)
cannot name even one
famous female scientist.
The Royal Society
, which is a fellowship of individuals who represent all areas of science, organized this survey. The poll showed that almost half of the participants were able to identify at least one male scientist while two-thirds could not name even one female scientist.
Furthermore, 90 percent of 18 to 24-year-olds could not name a current or historical female scientist. Lorna Casselton, Vice President of the Royal Society, said these results were "frustrating."
The number of those who were aware of
scientific figures in the poll were very low, with 18 percent who identified Dorothy Hodgkin as the creator of the structure of insulin, and only six percent who identified Jocelyn Bell Burnell as the scientist who played a role in the discovery of pulsar stars.
Other results were that 20 percent of 1,000 adults chose "Nobel prize-winning scientist" as the best role model for their daughters. These adults were given six role model choices to choose from, ranging from doctor to lawyer and pop star to athlete. Almost half chose "life-saving
" as their first choice.
"People are still unaware of the contribution made by women to science in the past, [but] overall I am encouraged by the findings of this poll," said Casselton. "They suggest public perceptions of women in science are changing. [We] want to encourage more girls (and their parents) to see science as an achievable and desirable career path. Most importantly, we want to encourage them to see science not only as a fulfilling career, but one that can change the world and contribute to our quality of life."
In other news, the United States government is
encouraging Indian women
to enter science and technology-related fields by offering research fellowships and internships that could bring these women to the U.S. With support of the Indo-U.S. Science and Technology Forum, the U.S. embassy New Delhi created a one-day workshop about women in science where many young women in high school and above listened to female business leaders encourage them to "stick with science."

Harrison hurls scoreless inning in 'B' game
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Pitching in a "B" game with a bizarre format, Matt Harrison threw a scoreless inning Tuesday morning while pitching under game conditions for the first time in 11 months.
Harrison needed just 11 pitches to get through the Royals' loaded lineup, allowing just one hit. He was the first of five Rangers pitchers to hold the Royals' six-man lineup scoreless through seven innings.
"It went quicker than I thought," Harrison said. "I like quick innings. My back feels good, so hopefully we'll keep progressing. Everything felt great. The big thing is how I recover the next day, but I don't expect anything bad. I feel good and I expect to keep progressing."
Harrison made just two starts last season before suffering a herniated disk in his lower back. He needed two operations to correct the problem, missed the rest of the season and had some issues early in spring that have put him behind all other pitchers. The Rangers haven't announced when he'll pitch again, but it probably won't be more than one or two innings.
It's also likely that Harrison won't have pitched at least five innings in a start before the Rangers break camp on March 26. Harrison, if he doesn't have anymore setbacks, is expected to need at least two to three more starts after that in the Minor Leagues.
"I would like to be back before mid-April, but we'll see," Harrison said.
The Royals' lineup consisted of Major League hitters Alcides Escobar, Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Danny Valencia, Jarrod Dyson and Brayan Pena. All but Pena were used as "designated hitters." The Royals used Minor Leaguers to play the field when the Rangers were hitting.
Rangers pitchers still dominated the affair. Justin Germano threw three scoreless innings, while Shawn Tolleson and Miles Mikolas pitched one scoreless inning each. Tolleson, who has overcome a sore shoulder, and Mikolas, who had some soreness in his elbow, were pitching for the first time since the intrasquad games back in February. Minor Leaguer Martire Garcia also pitched a scoreless inning.
"They all threw the ball well," manager Ron Washington said.

I can't get the 132 to come back at all, but the 143 fades a bit after it goes way right. I've only thrown a Katana once, but it's probably a good comparison for these things. Imma gonna sell them to this girl at league who threw the light one once and loved it.

I'm not sure that this room is for my thread or no. Admin please fix if it's on the wrong place.
In recent days, I was playing with touch api of mobile safari on iPhone. As it is webkit based, some other webkit based browser that have touch capability may use it, like Android. WebOs is not supported as it does not support for touch base event.
Basic idea is remote XBMC via iPhone/iPod Touch.
There is already some application on iTunes App Store, but having some alternative is not a bad thing. Especially the gesture based remote only available on paid app.
I prefer gesture based for remote, as on touch based devices we lost the feel of physical button, we could not just feel where is the center button, then move finger for arrows, we need to see the devices to tap the right point. With gesture based remote, we does not need to care where we start to touch and were end, just how we move our finger.
Download http://web1.spot.net.id/wtouch.zip
- Download the wtouch.zip
- Extract it into XBMC application web folder.
- On linux should be /usr/share/xbmc/web/
- On os x should be /Applications/XBMC.app/Contents/Resources/XBMC/web/
- On windows should be c:\Program Files\XBMC\web\
- You should have a new folder wtouch under the web folder.
- Open safari on iPhone/iPod Touch, browse to http://(yourip):8080/wtouch/
The last slash (/) as important for images as it used relative path in the html.
- Tap on (+) sign and select Add to Home Screen. This will give the webapp as full screen, no more url bar, no bottom tool bar.
- Usage:
Press the help button on the app for more usage
Any comments and suggestion are welcomed. May need help to fix my english for the help page or any documentation.
Oh BTW, I'm no longer going through SVN these days, So i'm just use XBMC 0911. As XBMC change the Web Server, if things was changed on the httpcommand api, this module may not work too.
Just testing and updating to comply with XBMC 10.5.
And if you are using SVN, there is extra feature that use the new jsonRPC.

With the San Diego Comic-Convention ever growing in size and scale, getting a booth inside the exhibition floors isnt always necessary anymore. With so much of the party oozing outside of the convention center, more and more studios and companies are looking for other options. NBC Entertainment, for example have taken over the local Tin Fish eatery, disguising it as a fairy tale forest from the hit show GRIMM, entering its second season next month.
Besides ordering up some amazing fish & chips, Comic-Con attendees could get their arms branded with the GRIMM logo everyday. Theres also an enchanted forest walk through where guests can learn more about the beasts in this realistic fairy tale world. Guests can even enter Aunt Maries Trailer full of props direct from the show and take a souvenir bag for their belongings.
Also heavily promoted is the upcoming show REVOLUTION. The pilot directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man) tells the story of a future without any power. Anything man-made has turned into nature and its up to non-electric-based tools to carry out a typical day.
Both GRIMM and REVOLUTION also had respective panels at San Diego Comic-Con.
GRIMM premieres on NBC August 13.
REVOLUTION premieres on NBC September 17.

This is an advertising item from Silva's Liquor Store in PIttsburg, KS.. Or rather the state line, 4 1/2 miles east of Pittsburg. The liquor store sat across the state line into Missouri. My father in law used to go there on Saturday evening and buy a bottle. Several others would be there and sat in the parking lot and had a drink and a "social hour" then moved on. Liquor laws were much more lax when it came to drinking and driving in those days. This would have been in the late 50's and throughout the 60's.
This pencil features a list of beverages and ingredients on the barrel with a twist menu. When you select one of the drinks, the numbers line up as to what proportion of what beverage is needed to make the drink!
I have never seen anything like this pencil before. I found it in a box of personal belongings to my deceased father in law. I expect this pencil is at least 50 years old and probably older.

http://www.koreanbuddhism.net/master/priest_view.asp?cat_seq=10&priest_seq=27&page=3 wrote:His contribution to modern Korean Buddhism was to suggest "Seon with recollecting Buddha's name" in an atmosphere tending toward hwadu meditation. He claimed "the Buddha's name, for example Amitabha Buddha or Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, is a hwadu itself that the Buddha shows us. This new way of practice is in harmony with personal spiritual capacity, without opposing hwadu meditation. It makes you find that you and Buddha are not two, to recollect Buddha's name repeatedly while praying for what you wish."
The book's arguments consistently privilege and emphasize the assumptions and statements of Thai informants over scholarly theoretical and explanatory models, regardless of how much the former fail to conform to the expectations of the latter.

Keppinger unhindered by offseason injury
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- There's a reason why Jeff Keppinger has struck out just 173 times over his eight-year career, covering 2,459 at-bats.
"When I was a little kid, I used to cry when I struck out. I hated walking back to the dugout knowing I couldn't run to first base," Keppinger said. "I felt like everyone was looking at me and upset with me that I didn't hit the ball. So it's something that has carried with me throughout my life and career."
The White Sox are hoping this Keppinger trait carries through into the 2013 season and beyond, with the free-agent signee providing a little offensive diversity into the free-swinging White Sox lineup. Keppinger sustained a broken right fibula upon falling down the stairs at home during this offseason, but reports no Spring Training setbacks from the injury.
"I feel good. The ankle is doing good," Keppinger said. "It doesn't seem to be limiting me taking ground balls.
"I'm doing a little more running to build up my feet. I kind of just followed my physical therapist. As far as I know, I didn't have any setbacks. I'm feeling good and ready to get started."

From the talks between the Nets and Grizz, I have come to the conclusion that the Grizzlies are wanting cap space more than anything in a trade for OJ Mayo, meaning a team with space is going to get a steal come the deadline.
Pacers get:
OJ Mayo
Grizzlies get: (either of the packages offered)
1: Dahntay and a 1st in this draft
2: AJ and a 1st, a future 2nd and rights to Stanko
Why I like Package 1: It cuts $3M off of their payroll without bringing in someone who is horrendous (besides the whole black hole thing) in Dahntay who can also hit shots. He isn't going to be a cancer and command a start. They also get an extra pick in the most stacked draft since '03.
Why I like package 2: They save nearly $5M. Enough said? No? Alright. A pick for the same reasons, another pick for their troubles, and rights to Stanko, who might be a decent NBA center. He could make an impact in Memphis if Speights doesn't work out and he is dealt again.

A long time favorite at Bob's Red Mill, these vegetarian wraps can stand on their own as appetizers or pair them with roasted fava beans and this great tomato salad recipe from Jamie Oliver for a truly Italian dinner. These do take a little more time in the kitchen, but they are well worth it. Cheers!
Tuscan Quinoa Radicchio Wraps
- 3/4 cup uncooked Quinoa
- 1-1/2 cups Water
- 1-1/2 cups cooked, rinsed and drained Cannellini Beans
- 4 Plum Tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 cup Black Olives, pitted and sliced
- 1/2 cup Red Onion, chopped
- 1 small fresh Fennel Bulb, trimmed and chopped
- 1/4 cup Pine Nuts, lightly toasted
- 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 large fresh Lemon, juiced and grated zest
- 1 Shallot, minced
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 3 heads Radicchio, leaves separated into "cups"
- 1 to 2 cups fresh Basil Leaves
Place quinoa into a large saucepan and dry toast over medium heat just until a few grains begin to pop. (Not necessary to wash Bob's Red Mill Organic Quinoa Grain because it is pre-washed).
Add water, bringing to a boil, then cover, reduce heat and let simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the quinoa has absorbed all the liquid. Remove from heat and let stand, covered for 10 minutes, then fluff lightly with a fork.
Place cooked quinoa into a mixing bowl with beans, tomatoes, olives, onion, fennel and pine nuts.
Whisk together olive oil, lemon juice and zest, and minced shallot until well blended. Add to mixing bowl with quinoa mixture, tossing gently to blend. Season as desired with salt and pepper.
Spoon mixture into a small bowl; place on a large platter with radicchio leaves and basil. To eat, spoon quinoa mixture into radicchio leaf cups; top as desired with basil leaves, rolling the radicchio leaves to close (serve with plenty of napkins).
Makes about 12 appetizer servings.

This show was originally planned to be at a much smaller venue, but due to ticket demand, English dance-pop singer Ellie Goulding will headline Saltair. Her first album's title track, "Lights," reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop songs chart; her second album, "Halcyon," debuted in October at No. 9 on the Billboard album charts. In a phone interview, Goulding said it was listening to the radio for the first time in her small village of Lyonshall that opened the world to her. "I was in blissful ignorance," she said. "When I discovered music, it was the most musical thing in the world. I was more into it than other people around me." The singer's first music purchase was a tape by British band Blur, and now, at 26, Goulding has become more popular in the States than Blur ever was. As a result, the British press records her every move, especially her reported romance with electronic artist Skrillex. "Even when I get photographed or interviewed, I am always myself," she said. Being in the papers so much has a downside, though. "People tell me I'm way prettier in real life," Goulding said. St. Lucia opens.

KNIFE-WIELDING robbers have carried out five attacks in four days, spreading fear among shopkeepers in Deane.
Staff at KC Top Shop newsagents in Deane Church Lane were the latest victims when it was raided at about 8.15pm on Sunday.
It followed two robberies at hair salons, Talking Heads in Deane Church Lane, on January 16, and Cabello for Hair in Wigan Road, on Saturday.
Police have stepped up patrols and are linking the raids to two street robberies last week.
Shop owners have spoken about concerns for their staff's safety after the wave of attacks.
One shop, Cake Delight in Deane Church Lane, is closing temporarily to have extra security installed.
Insp Andy Sidebotham, of Bolton Central Neighbourhood Policing Team, said: "Officers in uniform and plain clothes are trying to identify people.
"We are carefully examining the crimes and going through the evidence. I am appealing to anyone with information related to these crimes to let us know."
Police believe the culprits are local. He added: "Businesses should take sensible precautions, these robberies are happening at all times of the day.
"People should be aware of their surroundings particularly when they are going to get cash.
"Hopefully the public will know we are doing everything we can to find these offenders and bring them to justice."
In the latest raid, the robber was wearing a Call of Duty skull mask and threatened staff with a knife.
He fled on foot with about £50 from the till, was chased from the store and is thought to have dropped his keys in an alleyway. No one was injured.
One of the men who chased him did not want to be named, but said: "I came out of my house because I heard a load of noise.
"The guy was running down the alley at the side of my house and he dropped his keys down there. He was dressed all in black, about six feet tall and he had a Call of Duty skull mask."
At about 7.30am on Thursday, a man had £200 stolen from him and was punched to the ground in Dorris Street.
On Saturday night, at about 10.15pm, Craig Greenhalgh, aged 23, was attacked on his way home from the pub, where he had been celebrating the birth of his daughter with friends.
The attackers did not steal anything but Mr Greenhalgh was punched in the jaw during the struggle in Back Deane Church Lane.
Staff at Talking Heads were threatened with an eight-inch kitchen knife and handed over about £200 in the raid at 3pm on Thursday. On Saturday, the thugs stole about £350 from Cabello for Hair at noon.
One robber is described as being in his early 20s, six feet tall with a dark-coloured scarf over his face. The second man is said to be about 5ft 9ins tall, gaunt, with a dark hooded top.
Anyone with information is asked to call police on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.

We are avid readers at my house and we do everything that we can to instill that same love for books into Lucas as well. As a result, the kiddo loves books just as much as his mama and dada! Storytime is a favorite around my house! I'll be honest though–I have a hard time finding children's books that I really love. You know those books that you actually enjoy reading to your child? Like Dr. Seuss for example–he is one of my all time favorites, but it is almost impossible to find those types of books anymore. Until I discovered Shankman & O'Neill Children's Books.
Ed Shankman and Dave O'Neill are the perfect duo when it comes to writing children's books. Ed Shankman has been writing children's books since he himself was a child. Dave O'Neill is an illustrator and graphic designer who also began drawing when he was a child. Together, they have written three children's books–I Met a Moose In Maine One Day, The Boston Balloonies, and The Cods of Cape Cod Love Their Summer Vacation.
About the Books {from the website}:
I Met a Moose In Maine One Day
In this lovable creation, a moose walks right into a boy's home and introduces himself. The child narrator tells us:
"I met a moose in Maine One Day.
Just how it happened, I can't say.
I brushed my teeth, I combed my hair
And all at once, the moose was there!"
Together, boy and beast play hide-and-seek (not the best game for a moose), walk into town, dance the night away, and then take off on a fun-filled adventure that neither will ever forget. You won't forget it either.
The Boston Balloonies
For children, is there anything more magical than a balloon? So what could be more fun than "Balloonies"? What exactly are Balloonies? Read and discover!
"The Boston Balloonies
Float all over town,
And they whirl and they twirl
And they bounce up and down."
But that's not all. According to Shankman, Balloonies are never too busy to put on a show:
"They play banjos and bongos and oboes and flutes, And the one who plays trumpet swells up when he toots. There's a beautiful singer who hollers and hoots,
And some back-up balloonies with fabulous boots."
And did we tell you about the Boston balloony ballet? "Most people say it was quite a display!"
The Cods of Cape Cod Love Their Summer Vacation
Kids love this charmer about a family of codfish and their friends — a bunch of fun-loving sea creatures.
"The Cods never know
Who they'll see by the sea
'Cause their friends come to visit
Whenver they're free . . ."
". . .They come to the Cods
'Cause they want to have fun
And when fun's what you want,
Cods are second to none."
We know you'll agree.
Shankman and O'Neill were nice enough to send Lucas all three of their books for me to review and I am totally in love with them! Truly, these are some of favorite books to read to Lucas and more importantly–Lucas loves them too! They are whimsical and fun and the words just roll off your tongue. The illustrations are so creative and cute and encourage children to use their own imaginations. Words aren't enough to express how much I love Shankman & O'Neill books. They truly belong in every child's bookshelf. Shankman and O'Neill are like the modern day Dr. Seuss for our children's generation. Just watch the three book videos above and you will see exactly what I mean. Trust me. You will love them! Now that the holidays are right around the corner, I highly recommend any one {or all} of these books as gifts! Your kids will love to receive them and you will love to give them!
Want It: The books can be purchased at various retailers and online. They retail between $10 and $12. To purchase, please visit ShankmanOneill.com for more information. Make sure you check out Dave O'Neill's blog for the latest book art!

Cornell Wildlife Specialist Attempts to Culture Deadly EEHV Virus
At first, the baby elephant was quiet. She appeared to have a mild episode of colic. Within three hours, she was lethargic and had stopped eating, The next day, despite aggressive treatment, her head and tongue had grown swollen. Twenty four hours after the onset of clinical signs, she collapsed. The calf, one of just a handful of elephants born in captivity in North America each year, had died. This is the tragic but typical progression of EEHV, or Elephant Endotheliotropic Herpesviruses – the leading cause of reproductive failure, abortion, and neonatal and juvenile mortality in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus).
"This is a devastating disease – and it is compromising the long term sustainability of the captive population," said Noha Abou-Madi, Senior Lecturer in the Section of Wildlife & Exotic Animal Medicine at the College of Veterinary Medicine. Having recently lost a young elephant to its ravages, Abou-Madi has witnessed firsthand the effects of EEHV, which is estimated to be highly fatality in Asian elephants.
Abou-Madi decided to do something about this deadly disease. "Excellent researchers at the College of Veterinary Medicine are working with viruses, including herpes viruses," said Abou-Madi. "We thought that we had the tools available here to make a difference."
While many strains of EEHV have been identified through PCR, none have been cultured. Based on the affinity of the virus for endothelial cells, which are the cells that line blood vessels, Abou-Madi's hypothesis was that EEHV would replicate best in a laboratory setting (in vitro) in elephant endothelial cell cultures. Drawing on resources available at Cornell, and funded through grants from the Morris Animal Foundation and the Elephant Managers Association, Abou-Madi's team isolated and successfully cultured endothelial cells derived from the umbilical cord of elephants. Culturing the virus will advance understanding of the biology of the virus and hopefully lead to the development of a vaccine.
While Abou-Madi gathers samples from the tissues and blood of infected animals in the field, much of the basic laboratory analysis is being performed under the mentorship of Julia Flaminio, the Harry M. Zweig Assistant Professor in Equine Health. Professor of Virology Ed Dubovi and research technicians Mary Beth Matychak and Michelle Hilton have also been essential for the realization of the project. "We hope that these efforts will greatly contribute to elephant management and conservation worldwide," said Abou-Madi.

A sudden illness, an accident or an assault, or a natural
disaster - these are all traumatic experiences which can upset and distress us. They arouse
powerful and disturbing feelings in us which usually settle in
time, without any professional help.
A traumatic event occurs when a person is in a situation where
there is a risk of harm or danger to themselves or other people.
Situations like this are usually frightening or cause a lot of
stress. In such situations, people feel helpless.
Examples of traumatic events include:
Immediately after a traumatic event, it is common for people to
feel shocked, or numb, or unable to accept what has happened.
Shock - when in shock you
Denial - when in denial, you can't
accept that it has happened, so you behave as though it hasn't.
Other people may think that you are being strong or that you don't
care about what has happened.
People react differently and take different amounts of time to
come to terms with what has happened. Even so, you may be surprised
by the strength of your feelings. It is normal to experience a mix
of feelings. You may feel:
Strong feelings affect your physical health. In the weeks after
a trauma, you may find that you:
Family and friends will probably be able to see you through this
difficult time. Many people find that the feelings that they
experience after a traumatic event gradually reduce after about a
month. However, you may need to see a professional if your feelings
are too much for you, or go on for too long.
You should probably ask your GP for help if:
Following a traumatic event, some people experience a particular
condition called post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD). Symptoms that are most
commonly experienced by people with PTSD include:
If you are experiencing problems that might be PTSD, you should
seek professional help.
Your GP might suggest that you talk with someone who specialises
in helping people cope with traumas. They will usually use a
talking treatment, such as counselling or psychotherapy. For
example, a talking treatment called cognitive behavioural therapy
has been shown to be helpful.
Medication can sometimes be helpful following a trauma, but it
is still important to see your doctor regularly to check how you
are doing.
There are drugs that can help to reduce the anxiety that can
follow a trauma. They can also help you to get off to sleep. They
are often called 'tranquillisers'. Common ones include diazepam
(Valium), lorazepam (Ativan) and temazepam.
You can become ill with depression following a
trauma. Depression is different form normal sadness - it is worse
as it affects your physical health and it goes on for longer.
Depression can be treated with either antidepressant medication, or
with talking treatments such as counselling or psychotherapy.
It can be helpful just to spend time with someone, even if they
don't want to talk about what happened. Let them know you are
available to listen and offer to visit again.
They may find it helpful to talk about what happened. Don't
pressure them - let them take things at their own pace.
They may find it more of a struggle to look after themselves and
keep to a daily routine. Offer some help, such as cleaning or
preparing a meal.

Do I need to say more?
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Yeah we are just easily blowing out legit playoff teams like its nothing...I knew it was over before the second quarter was over...I love this team so much...just so fun to watch. IM LOVING IT!
Wow. This isn't even close to the best basketball this team is gonna play this year. Anyone on this team can go off for twenty and you wouldn't be suprised. The defense is far and beyond the best in the league. 82-0 anybody?
Oh yeah, and we've done well to limit our turnovers the past couple of games. We were averaging around 20 in the first four games, 15 in the last four, 13 tonight.
Lance passing the ball to West, George and Scola is a thing of beauty. It's just about unfair. Lance has some maturing to do but give him more time with the most talent on the floor and he will make the game easy for them. But it's going to take more practice and good discipline on his part.
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
I'm kinda bummed that the Thanks button is not working right now because I'm sooo damn happy that I would thank everyone in this thread
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
Really enjoying this ride right now.....I haven't felt like this since the 03'-04' 61 win season
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
How many Lance assists were to West? I lost track after a while. Those two have beautiful chemistry, and it often works both ways. West is great at finding Lance when he cuts.
Not to look too far ahead, but I'll go out on a limb and say that we will beat the Bucks at home with three full days rest to go 9-0. That means the next night we will be playing in Chicago with the chance to go 10-0. Holy crap that game is going to be intense. We know that the Bulls will treat it as if it's Game 7 of the NBA Finals, and we should too.......
@espn: With the win tonight, Indiana stays on PACE for an 82-0 season.
Right now, no team Is making it past 6 games in s series with us
Quick thoughts from me:
1. Love what Buckner said: "any man, any night". So true. Anyone can star on this team any night. So deep.
2. George Hill played a phenomenal game. Love it when he plays aggressive.
3. If West & Scola are hitting that midrange jumper like they are, you're toast.
4. If the Pacers continue to defend like that, you're toast unless you have a LeBron-type player to do the ridiculous.
5. It's boring to talk about how good these starters are...but they are. It feels weird to say it's boring to heap praise on Lance's triple-double, but it's just not a shocking result. When he plays like that, on this team, it's almost expected. I absolutely believe he has the talent to do that more than once a season.
6. What impresses me about 8-0 more than anything: this team looks focused and hungry night after night (OK, maybe they take a quarter off here or there), and they look like they're having fun doing it. Most teams would just get bored at some point, or tired, or lazy. These guys don't. They just keep coming at you.
7. My only negatives on the night: I expect more from CJ Watson off the bench both offensively and defensively, but it looks like he may be one of those guys that's an OK starter and an average reserve. Average will work. Still see young guys like Lance & OJ falling asleep on defense. Still not sure exactly what Solomon Hill brings to this team yet (in that I'm waiting to see it, not that he can't). But all very, very minor quips.
8. OJ is going to take those backup wing minutes left over when/if Granger returns, and I think he's going to make the most of him. Still worry about him a bit on defense just from an awareness and concentration standpoint, but I'm fine with his shot from distance and I love that he's adding an attacking element to his game. Could be fun reserve to have on the squad.
9. I continue to be enamored with Ian Mahinmi's play off the bench. He's doing exactly what he needs to in order to keep #55 fresh and keep opponents respecting the paint in the process. Just looks much more confident than he did last year.
10. When your human victory cigar is Chris Copeland, you're probably pretty damn deep.
I agree that we are the better team, but it will be a super intense atmosphere and we know they will be treating it like it's a playoff game.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
The site is fixed and the Pacers just destroyed last year's 2nd best D. Needless to say I'm pretty pumped
Chicago fans think the other way around...LOL
Nice start ever by a Pacer team in franchise history...next record to break? http://www.nba.com/features/AllTime_Best_Starts.html
Thanks. The chemistry between Lance and those two guys is just a thing of beauty.
wow. We are starting to sniff some rare air.
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
I was a fan of the Grizzlies last season, they played great defense like the Pacers. But now they are just another team, they don't pay defense like they did. I have to assume the coaching change is the cause for the defense that is now average.
Lance is a beast.
Right now Solo is a lesser wing version of Jeff Foster. Good on defense terrible on offense, but not so terrible that you can't play him if you have 4 starters on the court. I like how Vogel is using him right now. Not because he is contributing well, but because it allows him to get some experience while still having enough talent on the court to make up for him.
Other than that I think you hit the nail on the head.
So many wins I forgot that you only do player of the games when we win.
I mean, we easily beat them when we played an eh game
