Peters Township, Bethel Park battle for top spots in girls' soccer
PT, BP filling gaps in offense
Peters Township and Bethel Park are attempting to duplicate their winning ways under the same guidance of head coaches Pat Vereb and Jon Gentile respectively. However, they do so without the aid of key weapons that produced success in 2012.
The Lady Indians graduated Olivia Roberson (81 goals) while BP graduated AJ Baroffio (75 goals). Their leading scorers are now teammates at Duquesne University.
Plus, Veronica Latsko is still on the road to recovery. The All-American tore her ACL May 19 during a PA West championship game. The senior striker has scored 107 career goals. She had also led the Indians to three straight PIAA championship gold medals and two WPIAL titles.
The Indians and Hawks, however, appear to not have missed a beat. Both were undefeated until their showdown, Sept. 7. In the non-league fray, a rematch of last year's PIAA first-round playoff game, BP topped PT, 3-2. Although Emily Franty staked PT to a 1-0 advantage six minutes into the action, Tatiana Ruzzini and Halle Hammer powered BP's comeback.
Ruzzini registered goals with 13:05 to play in the first half and 10:55 to play in the game while Hammer supplied a tally four minutes into the second half as BP opened up a 3-1 lead, which narrowed when Maddie Schwerzler scored for PT with six minutes to play.
Ruzzini registered 12 goals and eight assists last season while Hammer provided 22 tallies and nine dishes when the Lady Hawks recorded one of their best records in school history (20-3). Hence the two are expected to pick up the slack caused by Baroffio's graduation as well as Alexis Keibler's matriculation to Malone University.
"We are relying upon them for scoring," said BP skipper Jon Gentile. "We'll get our goals up top from them."
That Ruzzini sabotaged the PT protection did not surprise Gentile. She's done that to other team's defenses for four years.
"She's been invaluable," he explained. "She's a hard worker. She never gives up. She creates plays out of nothing.
"With AJ at Duquesne, it's Tatiana's time to shine up top. She's got great pace. Not many have the speed she does. Plus, she's a great team player. So unselfish. There are only good things to say about her."
Kudos, also, are the only thing Gentile can give to his defense. The foursome in the back is the same group that helped BP race to an undefeated section championship title last fall and third-place finish in the WPIAL so as to qualify for the PIAA tournament.
Lindsay Boss and Rachel Gaddis anchor the unit at the center back position while Alexis Machi and Jess Horgan return as the outside backers. Nicole Bock, Hayley Hulbert, Megan Barr and Kelsey Tischler also contribute in the back.
"Defense, defense, defense," Gentile emphasized. "That's been a key for us. I cannot say enough about those four girls in the back."
The Lady Hawks, who recorded 11 shutouts last fall, are up to form, too, as they opened defense of their Section 4 title with a 7-0 shutout against Ringgold last week. They opened the 2013 campaign with a 1-0 decision against Penn-Trafford. With the win over Peters, they improved to 3-0 overall heading into this week's action, which includes a battle at Highmark Stadium at 3 p.m. Sept. 14 against rival Upper St. Clair.
BP is continuing its success because of veteran midfielders such as Lauren Toth, Chelsea Conway and Sarah Buczkowski. Conway and Buczkowski are co-captains. They each contributed five goals last fall. Buczkowski also provided nine assists.
In addition to the aforementioned eight returning starters, BP has relied so far on newcomers like Laura Page in the nets, Tara Nath as a striker to compliment Ruzzini, and Molly Gorges to solidify the midfield.
Alexa Kalogeris is also a goalie while Holly and Taylor Tamburo, Emily Kukan, Sely Patrizio, Karissa Coffield, Mia Wohlgemuth and Maria Winzek add strength to the middle of the field. Alexa Kalogeris also contributes to the club.
While Gentile pointed to the fact that each season is different because of new groups of players with different styles of play, he believes his veterans will take Bethel Park far this season.
"Our senior leadership is unmatched and as a whole we are focused," he said. "Our goals as always are to win a section, WPIAL and state championship."
Those, likewise, are the objectives of Peters Township, which has won the last three straight PIAA titles. The Lady Indians also are the defending section and district champions. They posted a 12-0 Section 5 slate on their way to an overall mark of 24-1.
Prior to their loss to the Hawks, PT ran its record to 3-0 after its Section 5 opener, an 8-0 triumph over Brashear.
Against the Bullets, Maddie Santo scored twice. Carly Johns, Laurel Carpenter, Emily Cottril, Madeline LaVigna, Caitlin Pendergast and Riley Partyka supplied single tallies for the Indians.
Carpenter collected two assists. Johns, Lavigna, Kristen Cjzakowski, Franty, Andi McGinnis and Erin Helbig each chipped in one assist.
Megan Parker recorded one save in posting the shutout.
Parker is back in the nets for the Lady Indians after recovering from knee surgery that wiped out her junior year. Parker's return enabled Johns to move back to defense. Franty and LaVigna join Johns and Parker as the only veteran starters on this year's club.
The Lady Indians, however, have been bolstered by the play of newcomers on the forward line such as Santo, Cjzakowski, Partyka, Cottril and Nicole Kittleberger as well as defenders such as Mariah Vuchich and Mackenzie Gentile.
While head coach Pat Vereb expected BP to be a tough opponent, he also anticipates section foe, Upper St. Clair, and crosstown rival, Mt. Lebanon, to provide stiff competition for his club.
With that in mind, however, Vereb pointed to the program's success as a vital strength to carry on PT's tradition of winning. "The competiveness of the program and commitment to excellence," he said, is what keeps the Indians on top.
Other action
The Peters Township boys started the season on a winning note, with victories against Kiski, 3-1, Mercyhurst Prep, 4-0, and Ambridge, 3-0.
Against the Cavaliers, Mario Mastrangelo racked up two goals. His twin brother, Nicco, supplied the other tally. Dylan Weyers netted an assist.
Joshua Deyarim earned the shutout in the nets against Prep. Troy Eskew had the hat trick. Matt Dekman added the fourth tally. Mario Mastrangelo and Ryan Ponchione had assists.
In the Section 5 opener against the Bridgers, Max O'Hare was in the nets for the shutout. Nicco (2) and Mario (1) Mastrangelo accounted for the goals. They each also had an assist as did Sean Harrison.
The Indians also added a 3-1 win over Ringgold. The Mastrangelos struck again with two goals from Mario and one from Nicco. Eskew and Wes Ward collected assists. Nicco Mastrangelo also garnered an assist.
After battling Canon-McMillan last night in a rematch of last year's WPIAL championship match, the Upper St. Clair boys will play their third game at Highmark Stadium at Station Square in Pittsburgh. The Panthers battle Bethel Park at 5 p.m. Sept. 14.

Chantal Banks says she loves her rats more than she loves people. So when her husband told her he didn't want rats in the house anymore, she moved into a two-bedroom apartment so she could keep her 19 pets.
Banks is being featured on an upcoming episode of The Learning Channel show "My Crazy Obsession." In an episode preview, she says she felt like she found her purpose in life when she got her first rat at 16 years old and has had them ever since.
But Chester Banks, her husband of 11 years, got frustrated at coming home to find more rats in the house. When he told Chantal Banks he no longer wanted the animals, she moved out.
Chantal Banks said her husband's decision to no longer care for her rats was "demoralizing and difficult." And while he hopes they will reconcile, she doesn't see that in their future.
READ: Iranian sharpshooters target rats
"My husband will never have the type of bond that I have with my rats," Banks said. "My rats don't judge me. They love me for who I am. When I cry, they lick my tears. And when they're hungry, I feed them."

"My husband Jeff is 58 and was diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer's Disease at 55. His disease has progressed very rapidly. He is now in the advanced stage. My husband was in the Bapinuzemab clinical trial. You can imagine our extreme sadness when we got the phone call saying the study had been cancelled. I literally wasn't able to even swallow I was so crushed. It was almost as bad as the day we got the diagnosis.
My beautiful wife of 54 years started with Alzheimer's disease 7 years ago and now is unable to do anything for herself and must be cared for 24/7. Sad thing is we have 8 beautiful grandchildren and she is unable to know them or her 4 children and will ask me where her husband is. We, all of the country, must understand this disease and help in any way they can, with contributions, or just help your neighbors.
Toni made this moving and highly personal video about her family's experience caring for her mother who has Alzheimer's disease. Toni, her husband and four young children explain the facts and warning signs of Alzheimer's and their personal and often positive ways of coping with dementia.

I keep reading so much about this Scal-Por creature on the .Org that I decided to create one of my own. Using the strangest mixture of parts I could come up with (at least for now), I created a creature so odd and wicked-looking that no one in their right mind would want to be him/her (in this case, him specifically). At the very least, this will probably get some price hikers mad at me (I stick my tongue out at you if you do ); at the most, I'm hoping my figure becomes a favorite on the .Org. So, without further ado, here he is:
Evil Hiker of Prices
Real Name: Lacer Tactilia
Off the coast of the Ocean of Gnarl and surrounded by the Mystic Mountains is the realm of evilBay. There lives a hawker of evil intent who loves nothing more than money! By sending out his slaves to buy items at cheap prices and in massive quantities from all over Eternia, he saves himself cost and then raises the prices to twice, three times, and sometimes even ten times the original price! And because of the high Moutains that surround his realm, the people who live close by have no choice but to pay his exorbitant prices. The creature—a green Scalean (lizard-man) nicknamed Scal-Por for both reasons of his high prices and his favorite method of teaching theives a lesson—uses magic and secret paths to send his slaves across the mountains and even himself when he has to. He wears a magical mane of fur complete with rib bones sticking out at the shoulders, and a large medalion on the front to help him with his magic, and can often be seen with a battle axe or scythe to protect his goods. Unknown to King Randor, this hawker continues his evil scheme in secret and plans to bring the world to its knees by collecting every last shilling from the peoples of Eternia!

I've been on a bit of a Sherlock Holmes kick lately (I blame Peter Cushing) and these books have been great so far. I'm only on the second, though, because it's hard to find free time when I'm not drawing and whatnot. But I plan to get the next five in the series once I'm done with the third book. Good stuff.

WAYNESBURG – A project to renovate the Waynesburg Borough police station, estimated to cost more than $350,000, is being completed for significantly less, thanks to the state Correctional Institution at Greene's Community Works Program.
A crew of four inmates and a CWP labor foreman have been busy on the project for months, tearing out old walls and dropped ceilings, constructing and finishing new rooms, restoring the original ceiling and replacing floors.
"We're more than satisfied with the entire project," police Chief Timothy Hawfield said.
Hawfield said the inmates have conducted themselves well. They have been courteous, have refrained from even the use of any "inappropriate words" and their work has been excellent. "There have been no complications at all with these men," he said.
It's been nearly 40 years since the borough has completed any work on the police station. Because of the costs, using the inmates "was the only way we could have done it," Hawfield said.
When the borough originally considered renovating the station, the architect who prepared the design drawings estimated the cost at between $350,000 and $450,000, borough administrator Bruce Wermlinger said.
"The SCI crew probably did 90 percent of work. I estimate the savings to the borough at close to $300,000," he said. The borough expects to spend slightly less than $50,000 on the project for materials and to pay a certified electrician to complete the wiring.
The work has been extensive, Wermlinger said, and the crews have done a good job.
Working around the inmates also hasn't been a problem, said Athena Bowman, the borough's administrative assistant. The crew is usually busy, and she's busy, too, so there has been little interaction.
But they always say "good morning" and "excuse me" when they have to get passed her. "They've been very polite," she said.
All of the inmates who work with the CWP have to complete an interview and achieve community and minimal supervision status, said CWP labor foreman Dave Thomas, an SCI employee who supervises the crew.
"You have to have a little more trust in these inmates than you do of inmates on the inside," Thomas said. In the years he has been a foreman, Thomas said, he has never had a problem with the men.
Most of the inmates are nearing the end of their sentences.
"The majority are getting ready to go home, and they're learning a trade to help them get back into society," Thomas said. Many of the inmates enter the program with very few construction skills, "but they're willing to learn and they pick it up fairly quickly," he said.
The inmates also appear to like the work, Thomas said. "They would rather be out here working than inside the institution," he said.
The crew that has been working at the borough began part of the project early last year, when members renovated Hawfield's office and created the lieutenant's office and an armory.
Since November, they have been busy converting three or four rooms in the front of the station into one large patrolmen's room and a processing room.
SCI Greene has been operating the community works program since the prison's opening. It now has three CWP crews. "All three are busy," Thomas said.
Thomas said his crew does most of its work in Greene County. It is allowed to complete projects for nonprofit organizations and local governments.
The crew, which can include up to 10 inmates, has done work for Habitat for Humanity, Washington City Mission, the Nineveh Community Center, Waynesburg and Franklin Township, among others.
They have cleaned, painted, completed new construction, which involved framing and dry wall or siding work, and done roofing and electrical work. A crew also once helped the borough dig sewer lines and they regularly assist the state Department of Transportation clean up along state highways.
Borough employees certainly have appreciate their efforts. "I highly recommend them," Hawfield said. "They provide a good service to the community."
Organization or local governments that would like more information about the program or are interested in applying for it can contact Jeff Rogers at SCI Greene at 724-852-2902, extension 551.

Why this School?
Thank you for Zane Fischer's column last week for an honest and accurate account of the real story at Alvord Community School. The question, and Zane poses it brilliantly, is, "Why this school?" The parents and staff at Alvord have been told our test scores are too low and, when we create graphs with the most current district-wide test data showing that our students are above the district average, it's tossed aside. When we refute the district's budget for Alvord, including a custodial cost of $86,000 per year, we are told no one really wants to look at the numbers. That leaves us curious as to what the real reason for closure might be.
Both The Santa Fe New Mexican and the Journal North report incorrect numbers on enrollment, test data and student proficiency. Someone is providing those bogus numbers and, as usual, the question is why. Zane Fischer visited our school and saw firsthand that we are not a privileged population. But we are a success. And hats off to Zane, Gov. Richardson, [Santa Fe Public Schools Board of Education Vice President] Richard Polese, [City Councilor] Patti Bushee, [School Board President] Angelica Ruiz, Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela [D-Santa Fe], Sen. Nancy Rodriguez [D-Santa Fe], Sen. Phil Griego [D-Los Alamos], Sen. Peter Wirth [D-Santa Fe] and [former School Board President] Martin Lujan for their support of one of Santa Fe's oldest and best public schools.

On the Market
Thank you for the Q&A section with Bruce Bernstein. What a wonderful job he has! I have been going to the Santa Fe Indian Market for 30 years. It never gets old to me with the many artists from all over the world, as well as New Mexico.
I rarely buy these days because I don't need anything. The care and skill that goes into each piece of jewelry, sculpture, etc. are equal to any studio in Paris, Venice or the ends of the earth. The best time to go is at 6 am when things are cool and uncrowded. Really, it's the greatest show on earth!

NDN Introspection
With respect to NDN Jones of white man's name, this half-blood wishes to say there is not a living person today whose family or culture, either currently or historically, has not been devastated by war/hate/greed. Most forgive.
When living in the PAST, buildings and foreign trees were not responsible for harmful actions to fellow humans nor was the earth they grace; people were—mostly dead NOW.
If destruction is the only way to forgive the past, why stop here? Eradicate the ground where every non-full-blooded NDN stood in history. Send all non-whole bloods back with their polluted soil to their homeland(s). When returning me, and those similar, which half will depart? Right or left?
While purifying, ban non-whole-bloods from entering NDN businesses, polluting them with non-NDN dollars, restricting them as you do with your schools and hospitals. NDNs can construct their cities and all else with only technology originating from NDNs paid for with pure NDN minted currency! If purity means discrimination, discriminate without hypocrisy.
Does destruction today make a better present reality, or heal the past?
Consider sharing with your non-NDN brother as you share his name and all else.
One blood, one breath, one human species.

Challenge to Washington Co. judicial candidate withdrawn
Challenges to a Peters Township attorney's nominating petitions to appear on the ballot in the May primary as a candidate for Washington County judge have been withdrawn.
Democrat Robert K. McGrady and Washington County Republican Party Chairman William Merrell notified Commonwealth Court in Pittsburgh on April 2 they decided to discontinue the cases brought against Thomas Fallert of Venetia, challenging the legitimacy of some of the signatures on the candidate's petitions. A hearing scheduled for April 3 in Pittsburgh was canceled.
Fallert cross-filed to appear on the Democratic and Republican ballots in the primary. McGrady challenged Fallert's Democratic petitions while Merrell challenged the Republican ones. Fallert is among eight candidates seeking two seats on the bench.
McGrady and Merrell could not be reached for comment. Their attorney listed on the appeal, James R. Jeffries Jr. of Washington, said he withdrew as counsel in the case last week and had no comment on its outcome.
A registered Democrat, Fallert said the objections to his petition were withdrawn at the "eleventh hour" and he was not provided any notice of the decision from McGrady or Merrell.
"These objections were an abuse of the judicial process, a waste of the court's, and my time and resources," he said in an emailed statement. "From a legal perspective, the facts and conduct of the objectors and their counsel on the record crossed the line on multiple levels. This was a vicious political move in an attempt to discourage me in this campaign. It had no merit whatsoever."
He said the challenge was baseless and that politics should have no place in evaluating judicial candidates.

Getting things started with a Horde double feature:
Horde Wraiths
Hordak's elite warlocks
Hordak knew that to go against the Council of Elders and its enfocers, he needed an army capable of defending against and using the most powerful magics. He already had the means to transform anyone's abilities far beyond natural limitations, and had no shortage of willing candidates, but having himself betrayed his old master, Hordak would not simply trust such power to anyone. There had to be a price to pay: anyone transformed into one of Hordak's elite warlocks would have to relinquish part of their free will. They would no longer be able to disagree with their lord and master, nor disobey any of his orders.
Even with such a severe cost for power, Hordak had no difficulty finding volunteers. The Council of Elders had imposed limits to the teaching of magic to other races and all but forbidden the teaching of warlock magics. Many were willing to ignore the true motivations behind the offer of great power or even fully embraced Hordak's true goals to begin with.
The hooded, glowing-eyed figures of Hordak's elite became the spearhead of the magical forces of his army. Proud of their great magical prowess they often chose to levitate rather than walking, setting themselves apart from anyone not instilled with such power. They soon became known as wraiths among Hordak's troops and enemies both.
Despite their absolute loyalty, not many wraiths found their way among Hordak's most trusted lieutenants. Perhaps as a result of this only a handful were with him when he became trapped in the time vortex in Despondos. Their number was deminished further, when Hordak had to leave most of them behind to keep open the portal needed to escape from Despondos. Finding himself and his army in a radically changed situation, Hordak never created more wraiths using the same method as on Eternia.
Cut off from their leader, the wraiths nonetheless kept fighting the war for Hordak, though splintered and without central direction. They were formidable opponents nonetheless, and the war stretched on for years even in the absence of Hordak. Time was not on the wraiths' side however. Even despite their inability to rebel, Hordak had implemented a contingency plan that slowly drained them of their augmented power in the absence of their master. Whether it was part of the plan or not, all of the surviving wraiths on Eternia took their life soon after the end of the war.
Maladdon of the Primigus tribe
The Manmot warrior Maladdon was banished from his tribe after disobeying tribal laws and consequently killing a high-ranking elder in a fit of rage. Doomed to a life of a vagabond and shunned by the other Manmot tribes, Maladdon wandered south from the plains of Frigia where his people lived. He found his way to the Serpent Citadel where he heard a great warlock was hiring warriors that could prove their worth. Soon Maladdon was recruited into Hordak's growing army where he abandoned his tribal name, going by Tusgore from then on. He became notorious for his way of eschewing projectile and bladed weapons, choosing instead to slay his enemies with the force of his iron-knuckled fists and his mighty steel-tipped tusks.
Hordak himself was impressed by the fierce elephantine warrior, but was disappointed to find out most of the Manmots were too peaceful to befit his purposes. He was still certain they could be used as a breeding stock for fearsome warriors, if they could be manipulated to become more like Tusgore. Hordak appointed Tusgore to lead the northern legions to Frigia and conquer the Manmots for his uses. This proved to be a mistake, as Tusgore took the opportunity to terrible wreak revenge against his kind, burning down villages just for fun and slaughtering his entire native tribe. When Hordak found out Tusgore had ruined his plans with this insubordination, he punished the Manmot by trapping him in a glacier, magically frozen solid yet still fully aware of his situation.
Tusgore remained encased in ice for the length of the Second Great War, not knowing that the warlock had eventually been trapped in another dimension. During the following millenia he slowly drifted into a state of delirious stupor, which he was in when a group of Nephilian explorers found him and thawed him out, amazed to find the giant warrior alive, though catatonic. He was toured around Eternia as an unwitting part of a traveling show, until eventually Hordak managed to return to Eternia. Desperate for able warriors he sought Tusgore out, cured him of his madness and allowed him to join the Horde once again.

Reviewed by 4 customers
This is great. Have a small garden so I start my lettuce, etc then move to garden & start more. The trellis allows you to grow climbing plants. Holds water while not having plants sit in water reducing need to water.
- Was this a gift?:
- Yes
- Easy Set Up
- Long Lasting
- Looks good
- Sturdy product
- Wish it came in white
Best Uses
I purchased this three tiered self watering planter three years ago and loved it. It held up really well, and I was able to grow a garden in it, as well as plant flowers. I only had to purchase a new one because as I was packing it to move, I placed it on the sidewalk for one second to speak to a neighbor and someone took off with it. I purchased a new one with the trellis this time around. I still love it.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Attractive
- Functional
- Gauges Don't Read Right
- Plastic can break
Best Uses
- Self watering
I bought this to use in an area of a Denver backyard that didn't have access to the sprinkler system. It is beautiful in bronze. It holds a sufficient amount of water to keep plants watered for a few days - 3-4 days - in an arid climate. I would recommend getting the planters set up in the frame, then put in the potting soil and plants, rather than trying to put the soil/plants in before you put the planters in the frame. Once they are full, they are very heavy and difficult to maneuver into the frame. I broke off a section of one of the planters trying to put it in the frame. The gauges don't really read correctly, not at all reliable, but it really doesn't matter as all you need to do is feel the soil to see if they need to be refilled or not.
- Was this a gift?:
- No
- Durable
- Looks good
- Arrived With Rust
- Difficult to return
Best Uses
- Growing Fruits And Veges
This is my second container garden with trellis. We liked the first so well, we bought a second to grow more fruits and vegetables. The product is easy to assemble, looks good, and based on my first purchase, seems very durable.
However, the second garden with trellis arrived with rust already present at the sodered joints and on the screws themselves. I would have sent the item back to be replaced but my son was way too excited to plant the "vertical farm" and the item comes in 3 very large boxes. There was no way I was going to try to repkg the pieces and return it, even with the return labels. Just too cumbersome and time consuming (plus I would have had a very upset child!)
I was surprised to have a quality issue from Gardeners. Since the item will be outside, I just accepted it anyway. Hope it doesn't rust out quickly and I'm not sorry.

The number two movie looks rather dull. I'm not even sure what it is about. The only thing I remember from the previews were "smell my feet." Not overly exciting in my book.
What is the total for Indy? Anyone know? Is it doing well?
I thought I'd start a weekend movie box office thread. I've always been fascinated by the box office and sometimes I like commenting/posting on results, but I don't always like getting into the spoiler world of individual movie threads. Here are the box office estimates from boxofficemojo.com for this past weekend:
1. Kung Fu Panda $60 million
2. You Don't Mess with Zohan $40 million
3. Indiana Jones $22.8 million
4. Sex & the City $21.3 million
5. The Strangers $9.3 million
I was expecting Kung Fu Panda to win this weekend and Indiana Jones (drop 49% from last week) to beat out Sex (drop 62.6% from last week) due to stronger matinees. I think The Incredible Hulk will win easily next week, but I wonder about its legs. The Happening is the only other major movie opening next week.
The number two movie looks rather dull. I'm not even sure what it is about. The only thing I remember from the previews were "smell my feet." Not overly exciting in my book.
What is the total for Indy? Anyone know? Is it doing well?
According to Yahoo movies, Indy is at $253,026,000
All time box office (US) is about #43, just above Tim Burton's Batman. It's doing good.
I havent seen it, I want to but havent gone.
It's a fun movie, and I'm glad to see Indy make up its production budget back almost twice. Just remember to see it through the eyes of your younger self, and you'll have a great time.
...and I'm spent...
Mandola [my band!]
Kung Fu Panda is no surprise at the top. It's an awesome movie.
Very few movies are about having legs anymore. Move movies are made (or broken) by opening weekend box office.
Got Man-E-Faces, Give 'em Whiplash when I Battle-Cats
Kung Fu Panda was great! Looking forward to Hulk this Friday!
This space for rent, apparently.....
Different strokes for different folks, I guess, since I hated the Indy movie
The previews for Kung Fu Panda looked pretty funny and actually made me want to see it, so I might sometime. It's getting pretty solid reviews over on Rotten Tomatoes too. I thought the animation looked beautiful-- it caught my eye much more so than Wall-E, which doesn't interest me in the slightest.
There is no way I'd ever see the Zohan film since I can't stand Adam Sandler, so that's pretty much an immediate no. But I do still need to see Iron Man, since Jon has assured me that it doesn't contain the cheesiness of Spider-Man 2 (bleh).
I guess the movies I'm looking forward to now are Hancock, Dark Knight and possibly Hellboy II.
As for Zohan... I used to really like Adam Sandler. Billy Madison, Happy Gilmore, and Big Daddy amuse me to no end. But there is no way in hell I could see this movie. That and the Love Guru movie look to be equally ridiculous, but not in the good way.
But, I'm pretty out of touch with the average movie-goer. I'm used to not understanding why movies that look absolutely asinine to me are popular and movies I loved fail miserably.
Bill :: guitargod694
LOL, yeah, it's next on my list. Rod and I made a pact because I want to see Iron Man but he has no interest in it (or only very slightly, anyway), yet he wants to see the new Hulk movie when it comes out, which I have no interest in... So I told him that I would see Hulk with him if he sees Iron Man with me. We even shook on it!Kung Fu Panda is a lot of fun, and for the love of God, SEE IRON MAN!!!!
So Iron Man is next... after he takes me to see Sex & the City tomorrow for my birthday
I really don't understand what she has against the Hulk...
Bill :: guitargod694
I must also add to the comments about seeing Iron Man! I strongly feel it will prove to be one of the best films of 2008! I havn't even seen Hulk yet and I bet it blows it away! (I think Hulk will be good but not as good as Iron Man!)
Everyone's screaming about four bucks for a gallon of gas, but there's half a billion to spend on going to a movie. We're through the looking glass, people.
I didn't hate Indy 4, but it just didn't compare to the original 3 in my opinion. Karen Allen kept giving me the impression that she hadn't done any acting since the 80's...even if that's not the case. Which was disappointing, because I loved her in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Starman. I can't quite put my finger on why I didn't love the movie...I just know I didn't.
Iron Man ROCKED. Totally can't wait to see Hulk.

Kung Fu Panda was SOOOOOO much fun! I didn't expect it to be as good as it was. I'm usually a little let down by the dreamworks flicks, I tend to enjoy them enough to say it was ok, but KFP really made me walk away satisfied.
we'll most likely see a sequel so I hope they keep up the good work (and give the furious five - esp Master Monkey, more lines and a showcase)
Iron Man was great, best Marvel movie to date IMO.

Fear is faith in failure
"I wouldn't be surprised if this movie has Adam as a skinny nerd from Earth battling another skinny nerd-hacker from Earth that used an alias of Keldor. They then enter Tron-style to a cyber world called Eternia, where they control muscle-bound avatars to battle (called He-Man and Skeletor). And these same avatars come to life and continue to battle in present-day Earth." - VZX
I will have to go see Kung Fu Panda soon, it looks so cute.
Everytime Adam Sandler makes another movie, I die a little inside. His movies remind me of the stuff I find on public toilet seats...
At least we're finally getting Madagascar 2 this November......
This space for rent, apparently.....

The police chief of Washington announced Thursday he is stepping down from the post he has held for 13 months and returning to his former rank of lieutenant.
Chief Robert Lemons Jr. said he made the decision to return to his former role as shift supervisor of a patrol unit for personal reasons. Today is his last day as chief of the 31-member department and he will return Monday as a lieutenant.
"I appreciate the opportunity," Lemons said Thursday in announcing his decision. "I was happy to be able to serve the residents and businesses for the last 13 months."
Mayor Brenda Davis said she learned of Lemons' decision Wednesday.
"We sat down late Wednesday and went through his reasons," Davis said Thursday night. "It is what he wants and I respect his decision.
"He displayed outstanding character as the chief," the mayor added. "He brought new ideas for the department. He was a good chief."
As chief, Lemons increased the presence of patrol officers not only in the business area, but neighborhoods. Officers were encouraged to walk a beat, as well as patrol in their cruisers.
Lemons joined the force in 1992 and was promoted to the rank of lieutenant in 2011.
When contacted Thursday, Councilman Joe Manning said he was "shocked" by the announcement and said he knew nothing about it.
Since the announcement was so sudden, Davis said she wants to take her time and evaluate the position before making a decision on Lemons' successor.
"I will evaluate the appointment so I can make the proper decision," Davis said. "I will look at all options and make a decision that is best for the city. This is a very important decision for the city. It has to be the right fit."
Davis has not yet decided how she will approach filling the vacancy. In making her initial appointment, Davis asked for letters of interest from eligible officers. When asked if she would look outside the department, Davis reiterated she would do what is best for the city.
Capt. Robert Wilson will serve as officer in charge of the department until Davis makes a decision on the new chief.

A 19-year-old North Franklin Township man told months ago to stay away from a 14-year-old girl by her father was arrested Wednesday by South Strabane Township police.
Joshua Walter Anthony, of Broadview Place, was arrested on charges of statutory sexual assault, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse and corruption of minors. Township police Detective Ken Torboli Jr., who filed the charges, said Anthony allegedly had sexual intercourse with the girl on multiple occasions between February and June.
The two reportedly met in February through mutual friends. Torboli said the parents were aware their daughter was talking to him. The father reportedly told Anthony to stop contacting his daughter.
On Friday, the parents called police after finding Anthony hiding in a bathroom at their home. Anthony climbed out a window and ran into a wooded area.
Torboli said Anthony has had other incidents involving women. Prior to his arraignment on the charges before District Judge Jay Weller, Anthony was found guilty of summary harassment by the judge. The 19-year-old went to Applebee's, Trinity Point, March 22 and shoved his former girlfriend while she was at work. The former girlfriend is the mother of his one-year-old child.
Police also have charged Anthony with violating a protection-from-abuse order obtained by his former girlfriend. Police said he also was charged with various offenses as a juvenile.
Anthony was placed in the Washington County jail on $50,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday in Central Court.

CHARLESTON, ILL (WIAT) – The Jacksonville State Gamecocks won their first round OVC Tournament game on Wednesday 5-3 over Eastern Kentucky. The sixth-seeded Gamecocks (27-25) advanced to the winner's bracket of the double-elimination tournament behind the hitting of Kelci Johnston and pitching of Tiffany Harbin.
EKU (34-19) was the tournament's third-seed. Jacksonville State moves on to face the winner between No.2 SIU Edwardsville & No.6 Tennessee Tech. The game will start Thursday at 12:30 pm.
Here's a detailed recap of the game provided by JSU Sports Information:
CHARLESTON, Ill. – Kelci Johnston homered and drove in three runs and Tiffany Harbin struck out nine to left the Jacksonville State softball team to a 5-3 win over Eastern Kentucky in the first round of the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament on Wednesday.
The sixth-seeded Gamecocks (27-25) answered a three-run fourth from the third-seeded Colonels (34-19) with a three-run rally in the sixth and advanced into the winner's bracket of the eight-team, double-elimination tournament. JSU will play Thursday at 12:30 p.m. against the winner of Wednesday's game between No. 2 SIU Edwardsville and No. 6 Tennessee Tech.
Johnston, a native of Northport, Ala., went 2-for-4 with a two-run double in the third and a solo homer in the sixth that erased a 3-2 EKU lead and tied the game. Jax State used the momentum from Johnston's tying homer to start a two-out game-winning rally in the sixth.
Junior Hayden Crawford laced her second single of the day into left to set the table for back-to-back RBI doubles from freshman Ella Denes and senior Krystal Ruth.
Harbin (14-13), a native of Hazel Green, Ala., earned her first win since April 7 by allowing one of the league's top offenses just three runs, two earned, on six hits in her 16th complete game of the season. The win give her 56 in her career and ties Ashley Eliasson for second in JSU history. She struck out nine batters to run her school-record total to 675, including a stretch of six in a row early in the game.
EKU ace and All-OVC pitcher Leanna Pittsenbarger (20-9) suffered the loss after giving up five runs, three earned, on eight hits in six innings in the circle. Shaylon Robb tossed the final frame for EKU allowing a walk.
EKU scattered its six hits throughout the lineup, with Christina Ciolek picking up the Colonels' two RBI.
The Gamecocks put runners on in each of the first three innings and finally pushed a pair across in the third to give JSU a 2-0 lead. With two outs in the inning, Johnston lined Pittsenbarger's 3-2 pitch off of the wall in left to score Savannah Sloan and Jessica Guy to put the Gamecocks on the board.
The Colonels took advantage of an opportunity in their half of the fourth, getting a two-out double from Ciolek to tie the game at 2-2. She then scored when Lauren Mitchell pop fly to short was dropped to give EKU its first lead of the day at 3-2.
Johnston struck again in the sixth, this time to lead off the Gamecocks half of the inning. She got under Pittsenbarger's 2-0 pitch and watched it carry over the wall in left to tie the score at 3-3. It was her second round tripper in less than a week and the 22nd of her career, tying her for 12th in school history on the career home runs list.
The scoring didn't stop there, however. The Gamecocks mounted a two-out rally in the sixth, starting with Crawford's second hit of the day, a line drive single to left. Freshman Denes and Ruth followed with their back-to-back doubles and put the Gamecocks in front, 5-3.
Harbin held on from that point allowing just one baserunner over the final two innings to advance the Gamecocks into the second round.

MONONGAHELA – A Donora man was returned to the Washington County jail Thursday under a higher bond after the prosecution added a charge of attempted homicide against him in connection with a stabbing last month at his residence.District Judge Mark Wilson increased James Russell Tyree's bond from $25,000 to $100,000 upon hearing the Washington County district attorney's office amended the criminal complaint against him. Tyree, 61, is accused of stabbing Lamont Dixon in the heart following an argument about Tyree refusing to wear clothing in the presence of a child, court records show.Assistant District Attorney Josh Carroll also amended the complaint to charge Tyree with a felony count of aggravated assault after reviewing the case Monday.Dixon, 33, of Donora, was critically injured when stabbed Sept. 8 while leaving the residence at 938 McKean Ave. His wife, Natasha, initially thought Tyree had pushed her husband against a wall and then rushed him to Mon Valley Hospital after noticing blood, borough police stated in the affidavit.Police said he was stabbed about 7:40 p.m. with a knife or some type of cutting instrument, neither of which has been recovered.UPMC-Presbyterian Hospital, Pittsburgh, discharged Dixon Thursday after he had been in and out of the hospital, where he underwent open-heart surgery after being stabbed, Carroll said.Tyree's preliminary hearing was postponed Thursday, a day after the county public defender's office discovered it had a conflict in representing him. The office is representing Dixon in an unrelated assault case before Washington County Court.Tyree's hearing has been rescheduled for 1:45 p.m. Nov. 1 before District Judge Mark Wilson, the record indicates.

Legislation that will reform the way property reassessments in Pennsylvania are conducted is headed to the governor's desk, and it likely will play a part in the impending reassessment in Washington County.
The county commissioners Tuesday held a news conference and lobbied for passage of Senate Bill 66, which will put reassessments under the oversight of the state Department of Community and Economic Development, develop uniform statewide standards and provide resources to help with technical aspects. At the same event, they said they would "reluctantly" proceed with seeking proposals from vendors for the reassessment project.
They have fought since two local school districts took them to court in 2008 to force action.
On Wednesday, the state House passed the legislation unanimously. It previously had been approved by the state Senate and is headed to Gov. Tom Corbett, who is expected to sign it into law.
"We are obviously glad that this bill passed," commission Chairman Larry Maggi said Thursday. The commissioners have said they would like Washington County to be a pilot program under the soon-to-be new law. "(Commissioner) Diana Irey Vaughan knows the governor, and we will work through that relationship. We will also contact DCED and our state legislators to make that happen."
Largely based on bills authored by area state Reps. Jesse White, Brandon Neuman and Rick Saccone – and on the House Task Force on Property Valuation and Reassessment created under their legislation – the bill would standardize reassessment processes that wildly vary among Pennsylvania's 67 counties, and that often lead to dramatic property tax increases for home and business owners.
Under the bill, the responsibilities of the State Tax Equalization Board are moved under the umbrella of the Department of Community and Economic Development to use more modern resources to carry out the technical aspects of a reassessment.
The bill also makes a number of reforms recommended by the task force, including:
• Creating an operations manual to be used by counties when reassessing;
• Creating and maintaining a statewide database for counties to use and report property values;
• Developing and maintaining a statewide training program for anyone involved in the valuation of property within any county during a reassessment;
• Developing contracting standards for assessment services.
"This was a win for taxpayers, and a big win at that," said White, D-Cecil.
White said he believed Washington County would "fit perfectly" as a pilot county because of the timing and because of the variety of properties in it.
Neither Maggi nor White knew what the timeline would be for implementing the changes once the legislation is signed.
"We will take a wait-and-see attitude. We're going to see what this means," Maggi said. "We will contact White and see how this will affect us and what we need to do to become the pilot program."
White said the question is whether the attorneys representing McGuffey and Washington school districts will wait to allow the new program to be implemented or force the county to advertise for vendors for a reassessment even as the state law is changing.
"I don't know how a vendor could respond to a (request for proposals) even as state law is changing under their feet," he said. "We need to sit down with DCED and estimate a timeline and find out what we need to do."
He said much of the groundwork has been laid and therefore it should not be a lengthy process to begin a pilot program. While the legislation would shift the cost of reassessment to the state, it could provide some grant money and technical assistance to the county.
Also unknown is what, if any effect, a new law might have on a June 4 hearing in which the McGuffey and Washington school districts are asking that the county commissioners be held in contempt of court for not completing a reassessment as ordered by the court by Jan. 1, 2012.
The commissioners have balked at the prospect of a reassessment, claiming that a change in state law could cause them to needlessly spend up to $8 million footed by Washington County taxpayers.
Both Maggi and Irey Vaughan said they preferred to be the first county to reassess under a new system than be the last to reassess under the current system.
"While we operate under the current tax system, it is essential that county reassessments are accurate for the taxpayers," said Neuman, D-North Strabane Township. "With the governor's signature, this bill will create essential databases, manuals and contracting standards that will streamline the reassessment process and make it fairer and accountable to taxpayers."
"These hard-fought reforms were an absolute necessity to help prevent unfair property tax increases, especially for senior citizens, and the end result of this legislation will be a more equitable system in each county across Pennsylvania," said Saccone, R-Elizabeth. "Everyone acknowledges the property tax system is fundamentally broken in this state, so we have to take advantage of every opportunity to close loopholes and prevent backdoor tax increases. This day was long overdue, but taxpayers can finally rejoice over the fact that some of this property tax mess has been untangled."

A passenger in a car traveling Interstate 79 north died and the driver was injured Wednesday when the vehicle collided with a utility truck in Amwell Township.
The female driver lost control of her car about 4:25 p.m. just south of the highway's Marianna exit, causing the vehicle to spin and collide with a West Penn Power line repair truck also traveling north during a snowfall, state police said.
The passenger, Sarah Marie Graham, 20, of Frederick, Md., was pronounced dead at the scene at 5:40 p.m. by Washington County Coroner Tim Warco, who said she died of blunt force injuries. The driver of the Ford sedan was flown to a Pittsburgh hospital, Warco said.
He said the driver of the car was traveling in the passing lane when it swerved into the guardrail before striking the truck, which was traveling in the right lane.
The car came to rest along the northbound berm. Vehicle rescue crews from the Amwell Township and Lone Pine fire departments were called the scene. The investigation resulted in the closure of highway's two northbound for more than three hours. Traffic there was rerouted onto nearby Route 19.

Revision as of 16:50, 4 October 2013
It is possible to create your own landscapes for Stellarium. There are three types of landscape:
- Single Fish-eye Method Using a fish-eye panorama image.
- Single Spherical Method Using a spherical panorama image.
- Multiple Image Method (also called "old style" landscapes) Using a series of images split from a 360° "strip" panorama image + a ground image.
Each landscape has it's own sub-directory in
<user directory>/landscapes or
<installation directory>/landscapes. The name of the sub-directory is called the landscape ID. The sub-directory must contain a file called
landscape.ini which describes the landscape type, texture filenames and other data. Texture files for a landscape should by put in the same directory as the
landscape.ini file, although if they are not found there they will be searched for in the
.../textures directory, allowing shared files for common textures such as the fog texture.
For example, the Moon landscape that is provided with Stellarium has the following files:
.../landscapes/moon/landscape.ini .../landscapes/moon/apollo17.png
landscsape.ini file must contain a section called
[landscape], which contains the details necessary to render the landscape (which vary, depending on the type of the landscape).
There is also an optional
[location] section which is used to tell Stellarium where the landscape is in the solar system. If the
[location] section exists, Stellarium can automatically adjust the location of the observer to match the landscape.
Single Fish-eye Method
The Trees landscape that is provided with Stellarium is an example of the single fish-eye method, and provides a good illustration. The centre of the image is the spot directly above the observer (the zenith). The point below the observer (the nadir) becomes a circle that just touches the edges of the image. The remaining areas of the image (the rounded corners) are not used.
The image file should be saved in PNG format with alpha transparency. Wherever the image is transparent is where Stellarium will render the sky.
landscape.ini file for a fish-eye type landscape looks like this (this example is based on the Trees landscape which comes with Stellarium):
[landscape] name = Trees type = fisheye maptex = trees_512.png texturefov = 210 angle_rotatez = 17 tesselate_rows = 28 tesselate_cols = 60
- name is what appears in the landscape tab of the configuration window.
- type identifies the method used for this landscape. "fisheye" in this case.
- maptex is the name of the image file for this landscape.
- texturefov is the field of view that the image covers in degrees.
- angle_rotatez (optional) Angle (degrees) to adjust azimuth.
- tesselate_rows (optional, default=20) If straight edges in your landscape appear broken, try increasing.
- tesselate_cols (optional, default=40) If straight edges in your landscape appear broken, try increasing.
Single Panorama Method
This method uses a more usual type of panorama - the kind which is produced directly from software such as autostitich. The panorama file should be copied into the
<config root>/landscapes/<landscape_id> directory, and a
landscape.ini file created. The Moon landscape which comes with Stellarium provides a good example of the contents of a landscape.ini file for a spherical type landscape:
[landscape] name = Moon type = spherical maptex = apollo17.png
- name is what appears in the landscape tab of the configuration window.
- type identifies the method used for this landscape. "spherical" in this case.
- maptex is the name of the image file for this landscape.
- angle_rotatez (optional) Angle (degrees) to adjust azimuth.
- tesselate_rows (optional, default=20) If straight edges in your landscape appear broken, try increasing.
- tesselate_cols (optional, default=40) If straight edges in your landscape appear broken, try increasing.
Note that the name of the section, in this case
[moon] must be the landscape ID (i.e. the same as the name of the directory where the
landscape.ini file exists).
Multiple Image Method
The multiple image method works by having a 360 panorama of the horizon split into a number of smaller "side textures", and a separate "ground texture". This has the advantage over the single image method that the detail level of the horizon can be increased further without ending up with a single very large image file. The ground texture can be a lower resolution than the panorama images. Memory usage may be more efficient because there are no unused texture parts like the corners of the texture file in the fish-eye method.
On the negative side, it is more difficult to create this type of landscape - merging the ground texture with the side textures can prove tricky. The contents of the
landscape.ini file for this landscape type is also somewhat more complicated than for other landscape types. Here is the
landscape.ini file which describes the Guereins landscape:
[landscape] name = Guereins type = old_style nbsidetex = 8 tex0 = guereins4.png tex1 = guereins5.png tex2 = guereins6.png tex3 = guereins7.png tex4 = guereins8.png tex5 = guereins1.png tex6 = guereins2.png tex7 = guereins3.png nbside = 8 side0 = tex0:0:0.005:1:1 side1 = tex1:0:0.005:1:1 side2 = tex2:0:0.005:1:1 side3 = tex3:0:0.005:1:1 side4 = tex4:0:0.005:1:1 side5 = tex5:0:0.005:1:1 side6 = tex6:0:0.005:1:1 side7 = tex7:0:0.005:1:1 groundtex = guereinsb.png ground = groundtex:0:0:1:1 fogtex = fog.png fog = fogtex:0:0:1:1 nb_decor_repeat = 1 decor_alt_angle = 40 decor_angle_shift = -22 decor_angle_rotatez = 0 ground_angle_shift = -22 ground_angle_rotatez = 45 fog_alt_angle = 20 fog_angle_shift = -3 draw_ground_first = 1
- name is the name that will appear in the landscape tab of the configuration window for this landscape
- type should be "old_style" for the multiple image method.
- nbsidetex is the number of side textures for the landscape.
- tex0 ... tex<nbsidetex-1> are the side texture file names. These should exist in the
.../textures/landscapesdirectory in PNG format.
- nbside is the number of side textures
- side0 ... side<nbside-1> are the descriptions of how the side textures should be arranged in the program. Each description contains five fields separated by colon characters (:). The first field is the ID of the texture (e.g. tex0), the remaining fields are the coordinates used to place the texture in the scene.
- groundtex is the name of the ground texture file.
- ground is the description of the projection of the ground texture in the scene.
- fogtex is the name of the texture file for fog in this landscape.
- fog is the description of the projection of the fog texture in the scene.
- nb_decor_repeat is the number of times to repeat the side textures in the 360 panorama.
- decor_alt_angle is the vertical angular size of the textures (i.e. how high they go into the sky).
- decor_angle_shift vertical angular offset of the scenery textures, at which height are the side textures placed.
- decor_angle_rotatez angular rotation of the scenery around the vertical axis. This is handy for rotating the landscape so North is in the correct direction.
- ground_angle_shift vertical angular offset of the ground texture, at which height the ground texture is placed.
- ground_angle_rotatez angular rotation of the ground texture around the vertical axis. When the sides are rotated, the ground texture may need to me rotated as well to match up with the sides.
- fog_alt_angle vertical angular size of the fog texture - how fog looks.
- fog_angle_shift vertical angular offset of the fog texture - at what height is it drawn.
- draw_ground_first if 1 the ground is drawn in front of the scenery, i.e. the side textures will overlap over the ground texture.
- calibrated (optional, not used in this file). New since 0.10.6: Only if true, decor_alt_angle etc. really work as documented above. The (buggy) old code was left to work with the landscapes already existing.
Note that the name of the section, in this case [guereins] must be the landscape ID (i.e. the same as the name of the directory where the
landscape.ini file exists).
A step-by-step account of the creation of a custom landscape has been contributed by Barry Gerdes. See Appendix Creating a Personalised Landscape for Stellarium.
landscape.ini [location] section
An example location section:
[location] planet = Earth latitude = +48d10'9.707" longitude = +11d36'32.508" altitude = 83 light_pollution=3 atmospheric_extinction_coefficient=0.2 atmospheric_temperature=10 atmospheric_pressure=1013
- planet Is the English name of the solar system body for the landscape.
- latitude Is the latitude of site of the landscape in degrees, minutes and seconds. Positive values represent North of the equator, negative values South of the equator.
- longitude Is the longitude of site of the landscape. Positive values represent East of the Greenwich Meridian on Earth (or equivalent on other bodies), Negative values represent Western longitude.
- altitude Is the altitude of the site of the landscape in meters.
- country (optional) Name of the country the location is in
- state (optional) Name of the state the location is in
- name (optional) Name of the location
Since 0.11, there are a few more optional parameters. If they are missing, the parameters do not change to defaults.

2 . Part the Middle
Using the corner of your comb and standing in front of a mirror find the middle of your nose and then drag the comb straight up slowly until you reach your hairline and then continue back in a straight manner to achieve an even middle part. A middle part is a great way to make small, round face shapes appear longer and thinner.
3 . Flip Head and Use a Diffuser and Fingers
Tip your head upside down and move the diffuser up to the ends, motioning the diffuser to the scalp in circular movements. Make sure the blow-dryer speed is on low and try not to completely dry the hair off. Leaving a little bit of moisture will allow the hair to dry naturally.
4 . Piece the Ends Using Wax
Apply a small amount of wax to your fingertips and then lightly piece and pinch the ends of your hair.
5 . Apply Smoothing Shine
Apply a very small amount of smoothing shine to the palms of your hands and then run it through the mid-lengths and ends of your hair. Be careful not to add any to the roots or a large amount to any section of the hair as smoothing shine can be very heavy on the hair, weighing it down and making it appear oily.
6 . Apply Hairspray
To finish, apply a minimal amount of hairspray from an arms length distance to the top, sides and back. Take care not to use too much or you will end up with a white, flaky residue which looks like dandruff.
