Why do we fail?
And more importantly, why we do fail repeatedly and what are the thematic patterns in our failures. Is it technical skills that we are lacking? Or is it something else?
A lot of studies have been done to show that it is rarely technical…it is not b/c we lack presentation, coding, excel or powerpoint skills. It is almost always psychological. We make the wrong judgment calls when it matters most…these are what we call: Thematic Errors.
A mentor and close friend, Jim Loehr, arguably the world's top behavioral psychologist, has spent over 30 years coaching and training elite athletes: in sports, medicine, military and business. He found the #1 cause of why we fail is our "Internal Terrorist". No matter how many people tell us we suck or that we are victims, nothing is worse than what we tell ourselves. This is the "Internal Terrorist" perpetuating fear in our lives. Either paralyzing us or making us act as victims.
So the simple question is…how do we kill this terrorist?
ANSWER: Talk It Out
Not by yourself but with someone you trust. You trust them to have your interests even above their own. How many times have you said something to someone and they think "asshole" and then you see another person say the exact same thing and they're like "wow, that's exactly what I needed to hear, thank you". And you're like "what? that's what I said…" The difference is trust. They trust, sometimes even in a stranger…that they are giving advice with intentions to help them vs boosting our own egos.
At Next Jump we created a program called: Talking Partners (TPs). Two people who MEET everyday, VENT out their toxins, and then get to WORK. The most critical step in all this is to talk out your toxins. The most common mistake is for the TP to try to solve and help vs just listen. VENT: Empathize and help you talk it out.
Ever have a good cry over something, nothing has changed but you feel better. This is the exact same thing, a problem in your life, shared and talked out b/w two people, allows for the poisonous toxins to come out of your system. In essence, you end up demystifying fear, bringing down the cortisol levels that have you in a fight or flight mode…you kill the internal terrorist. And yes, TP also stands for toilet paper.. they take our shit.
Once that is done, you can get to work.
What patterns have you seen in your repeated errors and how have you solved for them?
Read Part 2: MEET, VENT, WORK, discussing how to work with your TP in practice.

Welcome to the Community & Junior College Libraries Section Wiki. The purpose of this area is to facilitate communication within the Section and its committees.
The Community and Junior College Libraries Section (CJCLS) contributes to library service and librarianship through those activities which relate to libraries and learning resources centers and services and which support the educational programs in community and junior colleges and equivalent institutions. View our official web site.
ALA Annual 2009 FYE: Connecting First-Year College Students with the Library Program
ACRL's Community & Junior College Libraries Section (CJCLS) and the College Library Section (CLS) are sponsoring what is sure to be an interesting and useful session on library interaction with First Year Experience (FYE) students and faculty. The program will be held on Saturday, July 11, 2009, from 10:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. Check your ALA Conference Planner for the venue.
Dr. Donna Younger, Director of the Learning Center, and a nationally recognized educator from Oakton Community (IL) College, will identify best practices leading to student success in First-Year Experience programs. Librarian panelists will suggest strategies for integrating the library into these college programs for freshmen based on their own institutional experiences. Panelists include: Judith Arnold, Coordinator for Information Services, and Carrie Croatt-Moore, Reference Librarian and Instruction Coordinator, both from Wayne State University; Sarah Greene, Librarian, Tidewater Community College; and Olga Conneen, Director of Library Services, Northampton Community College. Lora Mirza, Associate Library Director,Georgia Perimeter College will moderate.
First Year Experience (FYE) programs are a growing program format in higher education. FYE faculty work to improve the quality of the first college year experience for students through modification of teaching styles, increased interaction with students, and through educating students about the myriad of resources available from their higher ed institution. For more on FYE programs, see National Resource Center for The First-Year Experience and Students in Transition.

Three informational meetings on how to file an application to receive the sixth round of money from the Local Share Account of gambling revenues from The Meadows Racetrack & Casino are coming up.
The gatherings for governmental and nongovernmental representatives hoping to tap into the approximately $8 million expected to be available during this sixth round are scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday at the Smith Township Building; 2 p.m. Tuesday at Western Area Career and Technology Center; and at 7 p.m. Aug. 30 in the public meeting room of the Courthouse Square office building.
The 2013 local share is based on 2012 revenue, and the exact amount will be available in January.
Those interested may attend a meeting convened at any location, said William McGowen, executive director of the Washington County Redevelopment Authority, which administers the local share program on behalf of the county commissioners.
�Maybe there�s somebody new in the government or nonprofit,� McGowen said. �And it�s for review for other people, too. Maybe they haven�t applied in a couple of years.�
The series of meetings began Wednesday in Donora. Applications are available online at www.RACW.net.
Applications are due Oct, 17 with dates of public hearings on the proposed projects held on dates to be announced.
Slot-machine gambling at The Meadows casino was introduced in June 2007, while table games were added more recently. Applications for special projects are made in addition to the $10 per capita �revenue sharing� allocation for most municipalities.
Although no mergers of municipalities appear to be imminent, McGowen noted that merging boroughs, cities or townships receive a bonus for three years, and the amount of their �lifetime� local share will remain the same as the municipalities would have received separately so as not to penalize them for consolidating.

Hey ComicsFan, I am interested, I sent you a PM have a look and let me know, kind regards.
The Top of the Mountain
Top of the Mountain - Forum
Dungeons & Dragons 4e
Estimated Members Requested: 5
"Come over here, child. Let me tell you a story."
So many adventurers started just this way, with a grandfather or elder sitting you down and telling you stories of a far-off land with wonderous sights. He would delight you in grand, epic adventurers with untold riches and honor at the end. The good always defeated evil in the end.
Then you grew up, and realized that those stories aren't the way things really are. There is not always untold treasures at the end of an adventure, and often evil did triumph. Sometimes you had to DO evil to accomplish what you set out to do.
Life is not black and white. You learned that very quickly.
So when stories and rumors about activity starting up near the top of Wyvern Mountain, the old stories you heard come back to you. This is the same mountain that myth held had dragons and wyverns and other hordes of monsters. This is the same mountain that held untold treasures, according to some.
But you also know stories aren't the way things really are. You know other adventurers have climbed the mountain, only to return empty handed or not at all.
So, why are rumors about the mountain popping up now all of a sudden? Is there something new inside?
--- --- --- ---
--- Answer the following questions in the Voice of your character ---
1. Why are you an adventurer?
2. You have the choice of saving an innocent girl or killing the wizard that holds her captive. Choosing to save the girl ensures the wizard escapes, leaving no trail for you to track. Choosing to kill the wizard ensures the death of the girl. Which do you do and why?
3. How do you like your eggs cooked and why?
4. If you were a king/queen, what would be your first edict?
5. What is your one regret in life?

Peters should not build new school
A round a year ago, Peters Township residents were surveyed to see if they would support the construction of a new high school, which would come with a possible tax increase. The result? A resounding no. Low and behold, last week at the Peters Township School Board meeting, a group of parents asked the board to consider building a new school, due to overcrowding in the current building, as well as school safety.
The parents, most of whom are members of the PTA Area Council, went so far as to have a color brochure printed up, citing issues with the current building that include: "Limited classroom space restricts course offerings." "Over-crowding during class changes presents safety concerns in the hallways and stairwells." And, "The gym capacity of only 1,050 prevents the entire student body from participating in assemblies and pep rallies."
It's worth noting that the current building has a student capacity of 1,500 and a current student population of 1,496. Next year's projected student enrollment drops to 1,474. In fact, even as late as 2018, the projected enrollment is only 1,537. While that exceeds current capacity, it just doesn't make sense to build a new school to fit just 37 extra students.
As of press time, an online petition started by the parents contained a mere 403 signatures, compared to the total Peters population of 21,213, according to the 2010 Census.
These parents must be out of their minds. If per chance, this gets passed, have they considered the time and money involved? Where would students go to school in the interim? Would they actually be OK with raised taxes? We doubt it. And, what is wrong with adding on? Let us not forget that an extensive renovation of the high school was completed in 2000.
We hope that the board does not get pressured into such a ridiculous plan in order to keep pace with other new high schools, including Upper St. Clair and Mt. Lebanon – which is what many members of the community speculate this is really about. Perhaps if Peters Township residents had been more responsive to the request last year, the notion of a new school wouldn't seem so preposterous.
And, we are not discounting the importance of school safety in any way, shape or form. If overcrowding does indeed pose a serious problem, the school board should look at the possibility of an addition or expansion of the current building.
But to tear the current school down and construct a new one? That idea gets a big, fat F.

I decided to start an album of my symptom pics. I am calling it This Is What I Look Like When I Flare. Obviously, there are symptoms that are just not photographic (fatigue for example) but these are selections of ones that are. I wanted a place to share with you what my symptoms look like and get feedback on them. Please feel free to swing by and leave a comment. I will try to add new photos of symptoms from time to time.
this may sound a little weird but I am a little worried. I have a 2nd opinion appointment with a new rheumy on the 2nd and right now I am feeling soooooooooo good, that I am barely showing any flare signs. Ankle swelling, gone. Stomach has been good. Psoriasis on eyelids cured with the FML. Random rash on legs just a mere scar now. Cheeks noticeably less red lately. Energy level is up. Joints are feeling good enough to go dancing and walking again. *sigh* I realize that this is actually
Wow! I just realized that I have a blog on here. Cool. What to say, what to say? Tomorrow I am going to PA to see my niece graduate high school. Makes me feel very old. I am going to swing through NJ on the way home to see dad, which is really good since it's Father's Day and also my youngest brother's bday. Work was good today. Got alot accomplished. Cleaned up a ton of files. Got the supply order put away. Almost done with a report for one of my bosses. Overall, pretty good. Was tired

Very helpful!
The service I received was first class. This is a family run business that treats its customers like extended family. Chris picked my car up from work and left a courtesy car for me should I need it. The job was completed entirely to my satisfaction and the management and staff are so friendly and utterly professional. I popped into the garage the next day with a separate minor issue with my car and Chris sorted it out on the spot and no charge was made. I'd recommend this garage to anyone without hesitation. Thanks John and Chris.

Excellent, cheap as well!

I was shown step by step the process of regenerating the air con as well as being given valuable advice regarding its use in the future. Coffee (as promised on the phone!) arrived immediately and despite arriving early for the appointment, my car went straight in (literally!) to be hooked up. Very friendly staff, family run business who operate a professional service ,with reasonable prices and even pick up and deliver your car if requested. I will certainly be calling again for other quotes and envisage I would use them again in the future with confidence! Thanks Trevor, Trudi and the team!

Wishing To Be Caught
I really love to wear pantyhose. I am a straight man and I have four kids. I would really like to be caught wearing pantyhose so that I won't have to hide it anymore, but I am nervous about what it would do to my family. I have been wearing them for many years, and it turns me on to think of a woman seeing me wearing hose and heels.

Five questions to consider before converting to a Roth IRA
With the possibility of higher taxes looming less than three weeks away, you may be considering some proactive approaches to your year-end tax planning.
If you are in the camp that believes taxes may be going up and are searching for ways to cut your tax bill in the future, then you probably have looked at the idea of converting your IRA to a Roth IRA.
A Roth IRA allows your contributions to grow tax deferred and if accessed properly, the distributions can be removed – this includes all growth – tax free.
Here are five factors to ask yourself to help you make this important decision
1. When will you need the money? If the answer is soon, then a conversion may not be right for you. The Roth works best when the money has a chance to accumulate tax free for a period of time, and spending it right away will defeat that purpose
2. Where will the money come from to pay the tax? Upon converting your IRA, you need to pay the taxes on that money this year. Since removing the money from your IRA to pay those taxes will lower the value and maybe even cause you to pay penalties, you should have other monies outside the IRA to pay the bill.
3. What do you think future rates will be? Do you believe that the government will raise taxes in the future? If so, then now is the time to consider this move. If not, then don't bother paying a higher tax on your money now, if you believe you will be in a significantly lower tax bracket in the future.
4. Other reasons to consider the conversion. You may have favorable tax attributes in this year, such as large charitable deductions, carry-forward losses and investment tax credits; you will not have to take required minimum distributions starting at age 70 1⁄2; you will have the ability to make contributions even after age 70 1⁄2 if there is eligible earned income; you can also provide an income-tax-free inheritance to your heirs.
5. Other reasons to NOT consider the conversion. You may not believe the government will keep its word and continue to allow tax-free growth in a Roth. Maybe you have decided to leave your IRA to a charity, in which case it will receive the money tax free, so why should you pay that tax now?
This is a good start to the conversion discussion; however, it is just that – a start. You need to consult your tax professional and your financial adviser before you make your final decision, but you may want to be quick about it.
The end of the year is fast approaching, and so may be the end of our record-low tax brackets.

Five shows into the series, we've looked at what your options are, what's changed and what's new with the new Office. We threw skydiver Fully Sik out of a plane to test if Office 365 ProPlus could be installed during 90 seconds of free fall; we took a look at the new Office telemetry to help you optimize your Office configuration; and we've explored identity and data access with the new user-based Office and caught up with Zero Day and Trojan Horse Sci-Fi author and industry renowned cyber-security expert, Mark Russinovich on the security model for online services. We even performed the great race of Office installs.
We've received a lot of your questions along the way so, for our sixth show, we changed gears to present a live 60-minute episode of the Garage Series Live! on real world adoption tips and tricks with live Q&A. If you missed the show you can see it again here.
So what was special about the show?
For one, our guests. We were joined by friends from our early Office adopters program: Marvin Correa from Sephora, Patrick Wirtz from Walsh Group and Sebastian Stein from HhpBerlin. Journalist, author and blogger Paul Thurrott from winsupersite and our Lead Test and Deployment engineers, John Hoegger and Jefferson Criddle also joined in the conversation. This was one of the first times that we've had early adopters of Office 365 latest technologies, as we have only really been in market with them for a little over a month. Paul, Patrick, Marvin and Sebastian were awesome to work with and brought a wealth of adoption experience to the show. They were all looking to deal with the trends of users bringing in their own devices, multiple devices per user, high demand for touch capabilities with the introduction of tablets, evolving mobility requirements, providing Office services to seasonal workers and improving communication services across Windows and non-Windows devices.
Paul the skydiver
Paul challenged himself and our hosts to have him appear as a skydiver or in a clown suit in an earlier winsupersite.com post. This was to pay homage to our first ever XStream install, where we install Office within 90 seconds of free fall. You can see the result, which provided one of the more comic moments of the show and our favorite tweet:
"World, I can die now. For I have seen everything. @thurrott+jumpsuit@office garage" -Travis Lowdermilk
Paul also arranged for a special recording of Windows Weekly where he quizzes Leo Laporte to see if he can provide the right answers to the most commonly misunderstood questions about the new Office as a service with Office 365 ProPlus. We didn't quite capture the true outcome as we introduced Paul on the show, so watch to see how Leo really scores out of 5.
Who won the trivia?
If you caught the show or watch it now, you'll see that we ended with a lightning trivia round to challenge the knowledge of our guests in an East versus West coast trivia fight. Part of the fun of live broadcasting was that because we were running overtime we didn't manage to declare the winner of the competition – the East couch. Congratulations Paul, John and Patrick!
High-G aerobatics
We have a bigger special in store, where we subject co-host Yoni Kirsh to high-G aerobatics in Australia to see whether Office can install before he loses his lunch. Join us next episode to see what happens.
Be sure to mark your calendar for new episodes and learn more at www.microsoft.com/garage where you can discover additional resources and check out the complete archive of all previous Garage Series shows.

how interesting! thanks for the rec!
This is a topic where you can say which documentary has really impressed you, and why people should see it. Can be a recent one or an all-time favourite. Can't be your own though, sorry...
This topic is for praising the work of others, not your own. If you want to beat the drum for your own documentary, please don't do it here. Fans use our Public Classifieds, and Professionals have their own Shameless Self-Promotion topic.
We also have a Documentary Films topic for our Professionals where the debate is private and possibly more controversial. This topic here is for recommendations to the documentary-interested public.

Hi everyone,
Not sure if I should ask here or somewhere else. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a "first person" documentary film? Meaning, the film is about a person but it is filmed from their perspective. For example, I'm the director, the film is about my story and I film everything from my view.
Sat 18 Jun 2011
There's a whole slew but a seminal work in this genre is Ross McElwee's Sherman's March.

Hi Reid, I know this isn't the place for self-promo, but in answer to your question, my film A Lot Like You is a first person doc...
Sun 19 Jun 2011
Yay! Thank you Ramona and Eliaichi, I will check both of these out today.

My pick would be AMERICAN HARDCORE.
As a lifelong music freak (and former employee of WNEW-FM NYC, the world's GREATEST rock station ever) it moved me in ways no other film has. I always thought punk rock was noise, but this film really got me into the artistry of it, the characters involved, and after I watched it, I bought more songs on iTunes than I had in a long time by bands I never knew much about-Bad Brains, Dead Boys, Minor Threat, etc.
Most touching of all was the story of how Johnny Ramone stole Joey's girlfriend and married her-it was a scar the shy/sociall awkward Joey carried with him until he died-really showed that these artists are dimensional and above all, very human. I couldn't recommend this film more highly.....

D-Worders may remember that we did a special topic two years ago on the controversy surrounding the release of Fredrik Gertten's film, BANANAS!*.
For those of you who (like me) didn't have a chance to see the film on the festival circuit, you can now watch it on Distrify – and finally make up your own minds.
Highly recommended!
Mon 19 Sep 2011
Congratulations to distrify for having Bananas on the platform (which is looking terrific, by the way – I always loved the triangles as their logo)!
Mon 19 Sep 2011
It's more of a matter of Dogwoof partnering with Distrify for their entire online distribution. Fredrik didn't even know BANANAS!* was up there. :-)
I#m just wondering if the above rental works anywhere or whether it's been geo-blocked for UK availability only?
Wed 21 Sep 2011
Yeah, I did too and that sign-up notice appeared and that made me not want to continue. I sort of tune off sites that ask for my emails for basic access.. was that just because of geo-blocking? or do users have to register to watch a film?
Wed 21 Sep 2011
Eli – At the moment, it's even doing that here in the UK although Dogwoof is a UK distributor. I've emailed Peter to find out.
Pablo – What do you mean, "for basic access"? You need to register in order to make a purchase (VoD or DVD) or to access your previous VoD purchase. You don't need to register to watch the trailer.
Wed 21 Sep 2011
Update: the bug is fixed, but the film may still not be available in all territories. (You might have to empty your cache before you try again.)
Thu 22 Sep 2011
In reply to Ben Kempas's post on Wed 21 Sep 2011 :
Fair enough.. I guess I just sort of expected to be directed to a page with a slot for a credit card number and then to the film in two simple steps. Its a great service, don't get me wrong... Thing is i just unconsciously seem to close pages that ask for email addresses up front..

PITTSBURGH – An auto repair shop owner helped a former natural gas drilling company executive launder more than $762,000 in allegedly stolen money as part of a scheme authorities have said cost the energy firm as much as $10 million.
The money laundering conspiracy charge filed against Daniel Pikel relates to thefts from Falcon Drilling, whose former controller has pleaded guilty to helping the company's former chief operating officer steal some of the missing money.
The controller, 43-year-old Cheryl Brooks, of Clymer, will be sentenced May 31. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Melucci said at her guilty plea hearing in January that authorities planned to indict Falcon's former COO, Larry Winckler, in connection with the stolen money. He also said that investigators had traced about $10 million in stolen funds, though the investigation was continuing.
Winckler, 52, of Indiana, Pa., has not been indicted and his defense attorney, Martin Dietz, did not immediately return a call for comment Wednesday.
Dietz previously confirmed the ongoing federal investigation of his client, who was charged by state police last year with stealing nearly $1 million from Falcon Drilling. Those charges have been dropped, with the state police saying they had enlisted the FBI and Internal Revenue Service to help their investigation as the tally of stolen money grew.
Brooks pleaded guilty to conspiracy, mail fraud and tax fraud and acknowledged helping Winckler steal more than $5.4 million from Falcon, including $557,000 she kept for herself.
The new charge against Pikel, 57, of Home, contends he used his business, Pikel Universal Auto Repair in Rayne Township, to help Winckler steal $762,450. Pikel's defense attorneys didn't immediately return requests for comment.
According to the criminal information filed by federal prosecutors in Pittsburgh Monday, Pikel cashed 28 checks that Winckler wrote against Falcon's petty cash account from June 2009 through December 2011.
Pikel then faked invoices from his company, which suggested that his auto repair company had sold Falcon drill bits.
In fact, no drill bits were delivered and the whole process was a ruse to help Winckler steal the money, which Pikel then gave to Winckler. The charges don't say whether Pikel kept any money for himself as part of the alleged scheme.
Brooks' attorney, Patrick Nightingale, has said she is "full of remorse and grief" and is cooperating with investigators and working to repay the money by selling real and personal property she owned before the thefts – that is, not property she bought with the stolen money. The attorney said she is also surrendering a vested pension.

CARMICHAELS – The first time was a charm Sunday evening. It was the first time a student from Connellsville Area High School won the title of Pennsylvania Bituminous Coal Queen. It was also the first pageant for the young lady who took the crown, Marina Stefano. Stefano, 17, is a daughter of Patrick and Christina Tesauro-Stefano of Connellsville.
"I'm speechless. It is a relief for it to be over. You don't want to feel too confident. Everyone is so good. But, I did feel confident, just not overly confident," Stefano said after being crowned.
Three hours after the pageant started inside the Stan Ferek Auditorium at Carmichaels Area High School, a court of five were selected.
The fourth runner-up was Gabrielle Omatick, daughter of David and Lori Omatick of Connellsville, representing Geibel High School.
The third runner-up was Jenna McCracken, daughter of Chad and Jennifer McCracken of Waynesburg, representing Waynesburg Central High School.
The second runner-up was Kendall Lewis, daughter of Mark and Jeanette Lewis of Carmichaels, of Carmichaels Area High School, and the first runner-up was Chelsea Feudale, daughter of Beth Hutson of McClellandtown and James Feudale of Leechburg, representing Albert Gallatin High School.
Several other awards were presented during the pageant.
Miss Congeniality, as selected by the contestants, was Sidney Popielarcheck, daughter of John and Nikki Kinstlich Popielarcheck of Washington, who represented Trinity Area High School.
The Top Sponsorship Award went to Mackenzie Moore, daughter of Gregory and Terri Bartolomucci, who represented Beth-Center Area High School.
The Interview Award went to Feudale and the Evening Gown Award went to Lewis.
The On-Stage Question Award went to Johnna Purcell, daughter of Jack and Annamarie Purcell of Farmington, who represented Uniontown Area High School.
Stefano was selected to receive the Community Bank Most Photogenic Award and took the category of top talent with her dance number. She has been performing since the age of 7 in community musical theater productions, including parts in "Beauty and the Beast," "Grease," "A Chorus Line" and "The Sound of Music," among others.
The pageant category she found most challenging was the onstage question.
"They asked if there was one thing you could change about yourself what would it be, and why," Stefano said.
She told the judges there wasn't anything she would change. Stefano said this is because it is all a part of the person she has become. Everyone has weaknesses, she said, noting the key is to turn them into strengths.
Stefano was a student of the Koza and Company dance studio for nine years before moving on to the Pittsburgh CLO Academy. She is also a vocal student of Ricardo Tobia of Pittsburgh and has studied piano as a student of Levi Graft of Connellsville.
Stefano is a member of the National Honor Society, student council, chamber ensemble, Thespian Honor Society and the All-States Program.
Both sides of Stefano's family have been active in the coal mining industry. Her paternal great-grandfather, Steven Susa, was a coal miner before working his way up into management in one of the Frick mines. He followed in the footsteps of his own father, who also worked as a coal miner. Her maternal great-grandfather, Stanley Squirek, also worked in the mining industry in the Lemont Furnace fields.
Stefano's future plan is to attend a performing art school to become a dance instructor. She currently does dance therapy with a young autistic boy and said she would like to do something for autistic children as Coal Queen.
Eventually, she would like to earn a nursing degree in the field of plastic surgery.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — West Virginia lost more than 1,200 coal mining jobs in the last quarter of 2012, nearly two-thirds of them in strip mining.
Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration data show the number of jobs dropped to 21,400. The Charleston Gazette says that figure is based on disclosures that operators file with MSHA.
Production from strip mining was down to 8.1 million tons, half of what it was at the end of 2008.
Analysts say the trend will likely continue because of competition from natural gas and surface mines in Wyoming's Powder River Basin.
The industry often complains about anti-coal environmental regulations.
But the data show employment levels remain as high as they were when the Obama administration began a series of regulatory actions to minimize the environmental harm that coal causes.

Court to decide whether bulldog is dangerous
More than a month after an American bulldog named Zeus attacked a dachshund in Canonsburg, some residents told borough council Monday that the neighborhood is unsafe as long as they are sharing it with the animal.
Joe McCay, whose college-aged son owns the dachshund that was attacked, said he has not seen the bulldog outdoors. Yet he worries that it could escape from the Hutchinson Avenue home and jump over the owner's six-foot fence, which he described as being an improper enclosure.
"Those dogs can jump six to seven feet," McCay said. "I didn't believe it. There's YouTube videos; they're catching balls 10 feet in the air."
Whether or not Zeus should be considered a "dangerous dog" under state law will be determined by District Judge David Mark in a court hearing Oct. 1.
Sean Kenavey, Zeus' owner, did not say how he would plead to the charge of harboring a dangerous dog. He said Thursday he is weighing options that would be the most beneficial for Zeus and all parties involved.
If Zeus is deemed a dangerous dog and Kenavey chooses to keep him, he would have to pay a $500 registration fee each year and post a bond or obtain $50,000 in liability insurance for injuries the dog could cause, according to the state Dog Law Enforcement Office. Zeus would also need to be confined in a proper enclosure, muzzled and leashed when outside, neutered and given a microchip implant.
Zeus has been required to follow some of these regulations ever since he broke loose from his enclosure and attacked a dachshund on the corner of Hawthorne Street and Belmont Avenue last month. Kenavey said workers in his yard were replacing a latch on his fence gate, which allowed the dog to escape.
The dachshund, named Sutton, required surgery for an abdomen puncture, lacerated liver and muscle damage. "A quarter-inch, he would have hit the chest cavity," McCay said. "He would have been dead."
Prior to that incident, Zeus was involved in an altercation with a greyhound named Gracie in Town Park in February. Gracie ran from the area and was missing for 12 days.
Sherry Sulkowski, Gracie's owner, said she is also concerned that Zeus could attack again.
"We're trying to establish what's in the best interest of our neighborhood," Sulkowski said. "It escalates. Each one of these incidents has escalated."
Kenavey, who was not at the council meeting, said he has been following all state regulations. He said Zeus is kept indoors, but he puts a muzzle and leash on him when he needs to go outside.
"I don't know what they want. We're doing everything we're told to do," Kenavey said, adding that there is "no chance" Zeus could escape. "This has gotten so much press it's out of control. It's not like it's a rabid dog waiting to jump on children and elderly people."
Samantha Krepps, press secretary for the Department of Agriculture, which oversees the Dog Law Enforcement Office, said Kenavey is required to keep the dog in his possession and follow state law until the district judge determines the next step.
"We're waiting for the court hearing, so (the dog) would be deemed dangerous or not," Krepps said. "That's what the court hearing is about."

Dear B,
"The sight of her face…together with the maddening fragrance of food, evoked an emotion of wild tenderness and hunger in him which was unutterable."
—Thomas Wolfe, "April, Late April"
I'm in Tallinn, Estonia, having just finished dinner at a restaurant specializing in garlic. While we were eating, I recalled others' tales of full-body alioli massages and an anecdote from a book by former New York Times restaurant critic Ruth Reichl, about an all-garlic extravaganza she once attended.
Most people we know would avoid going anywhere near raw garlic if they had hopes of getting any, but not us swarthy Mediterraneans. Did you know that garlic is yet another purported aphrodisiac? Naturally, it was the Greeks and Egyptians who embraced garlic's ostensible attraction for hanky panky, whereas Tibetan monks were forbidden from entering the monasteries had they consumed garlic because of its reputation for awakening the passions.
Yes, it's that time of year: Love & Sex. It should be easy to write about food within that context, but here I am, struggling with it. On the one hand, it's like writing about pregnancy cravings in that nobody's are like anyone else's, yet few people have anything interesting to report. On the other hand, the world's best-selling sex manual, The Joy of Sex, was named after a cookbook. Food and sex: two big things that usher in a lot of complicated feelings for people. What do I know? To each her own bag of gummi bears, novelty items and frozen dinners. I will try not to say anything mean about those ubiquitous chocolate-covered strawberries, despite finding their popularity perplexing and their laconic symbolism suggestive of not much more than bad taste.
Today I walked past an advertisement for a play called Homefucking is Killing Prostitution. It made me think of Valentine's Day, which looms ominously ahead. What if home cooking began "killing" the restaurant business? Our local restaurants need all the help they can get, but Feb. 14 is probably the worst night of the year for a lot of restaurant staff and not much better for patrons. Will you stay home? A meal prepared and enjoyed at home leaves a lot more space, freedom and comfort—plus one can control the lighting and music before falling into bed. What more could you want?
So I sit thinking about lust, longing and appetite, trying to find a topic that won't make me sound like a celibate Victorian who looks upon St. Valentine with disdain. I'm fixated on the Placebo Effect, on the importance of being receptive to new ideas and information. It's been well-established by now (by biochemistry, consumer testimony and the FDA) that there's no such thing as a true aphrodisiac. The list of debunked myths carry on: gris-gris bags, emu eggshell capsules, horny goat weed, testosterone cream, Cialis with the lady's morning Earl Grey tea. Many foods have long been considered libidinous for resembling sex organs: bananas, asparagus, carrots, avocados, cucumbers, parsnips, artichokes, potatoes, mangoes, pomegranates, peaches, strawberries, guavas, passion fruit, persimmons, dates, figs, pine nuts, coconuts, chestnuts, walnuts, almonds and pistachios. The baklava stands in Turkey sell something called "Turkish Viagra," a butter-drenched pastry brimming with pistachios. Then there are herbs, spices and aromatics, fruit and vegetable juices, yohimbe, tribulus and maca.
On the subject of truffles, Tamasin Day-Lewis writes of their "raw earthy flesh, which then releases its priapic scent and almost overwhelmingly sexy taste." As for alcohol, Billy Shakespeare said it all: "It provokes the desire, but takes away the performance."
Perhaps you'll find little of what you need for romance in the produce section, but so what? According to Dr. Ruth, the best aphrodisiac to serve your partner is respect. Turn to a balanced diet with lots of antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids, others recommend. "Steaks and a comedy," an American friend suggests. "Make her laugh. Make her come. Make her dinner."
Legend has it that Casanova would often eat 50 raw oysters for breakfast. Sure, they're high in zinc (especially when wild and cooked over moist heat), which helps out sperm production. Then again, so is braised calf's liver and most prepared cereals, and you don't often hear of a couple of lovebirds making googly eyes across a table full of offal and raisin bran. I used to love oysters until the day the ambulance arrived to carry me off into the sunset, curled into a rigid ball and covered in hives. From then on, oysters no longer held the key to my heart, but I had everything I wanted: your hand in mine and an almond croissant, as I explained to the doctor that I'd eaten 50 Kumamoto oysters in under four minutes, and he looked at me like I was either dim, greedy or both.
Billy Joel said, "There's nothing better than good sex. But bad sex? A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than bad sex," and I feel the same about egregious references to sex in food writing. I once saw a reference somewhere to a dish that made the writer "salivate from every orifice," a repugnant phrase that inexplicably conjured the saddest image of the writer, whom I pictured as a blander, blonder Bridget Jones, standing at home, aperitif of diet soda pop and vodka in hand, dusty "crystal" tchotchkes and scented tea lights on every surface and a wall of books with titles like How to Love Yourself Minus A Man, Help! My Biological Clock is Burning and 1,001 Recipes for Grand Marnier. Also, may I just say that I hate the phrase "food porn"? Make the observation and allude to it; you don't have to spell it all out.
Food and sex. I'm reminded that neither must be extraordinary to be enjoyable. "It could be argued," wrote a friend, "that the everyday good experience delineates and defines the extra-special. But mediocrity is tedious and there is no excuse for no effort."
"Here's the thing," my friend continued. "The very first real food I ever tasted came straight from a beautiful, soft, warm nipple, thus delivering food and sex in one package."
This I know is true: The best food is made with love.
Happy Lovebirds' Day or whatever.
Dear B,

It's been waaay to long since I've posted something. Here is my custom Red Gygor based on the unused concept illustration depicted in the Power and Honor Foundation's catalog, that I made for Powercon's customs panel with Joe Amaro, Master English and Hunter Knight (thanks guys for making that possible). As soon as I received my copy of the catalog at the inaugural Powercon, I couldn't put it down. When i flipped to the page with "red gygor" I knew instantly that I had to make him. One of the fun qualities motu has always been the balance of figures, ie: Battle Cat vs Pathor, Stridor vs. Night Stalker, Gygor vs RED GYGOR!
Guns Blazing!
Stand down position
To start, I drew the basic shape of the new armor on the Gygor Buck so I could see how it would all fit. After getting the design settled, I started building up the armor using Aves Apoxie Sculpt and styrene
More styrene and Apoxie
Belly Shield Detail: That's Optikk's sheild center!
Belly Shield Profile
Guns! I gave the gun mounts articulation with Lego Galidor parts covered in rubber ring washers
Ready for paint!
At this time, I'm not taking commissions or selling any of my customs. Sorry everyone, I'm just a tease.
WISHLIST: Green and Purple Mask of Power demons, Blastar, Panther/Cat Men, Peekablue, Prince Dakon, Rotar, Twistoid, Kayo, Vizar, Lizorr, Sagitar, Quakke, Mara (prototype), Garth, Blackbeard, Gleedal, Gargons, Garn (mini-comic), Hawke, Fang-or, Great Black Wizard, Red Stripe, Granita, Brainwave, Contractor
You beat me too it mike! I started the exact same project to make the red gygor just last week.. lol.

Funny thing is I posted about a "Good" version of Gygor and it get's ignored because yes it is a good version just like Battle Cat/Panthor Zoar/Screeech etc.
OK, help me out (and great custom BTW): was this at POWERCON 2012 and did you use Lego parts?

Bento boxes cool creation for library's Otaku-Lebo club
The Otaku-Lebo Japanese pop culture group at Mt. Lebanon Public Library recently made Bento boxes.
Bento, Japanese slang for "convenient," is a single portion, boxed meal prepared in an entertaining fashion to encourage a pleasurable, healthy eating experience.
Japanese mothers and fans of Japanese culture (called "Otaku") prepare children's lunches with popular culture anime or other cartoon characters, animals and flowers. Not only is Bento artistic and culturally enriching, but the portioned sizes and representative foods (usually fruits, vegetables, bread, tofu, cheese, etc.) also provide healthier dietary choices and are a great way to use leftovers. Students enjoyed creating and eating their Bento box cuisine after being inspired by representations from the Internet and books from the library's collection.
Each month the library's Otaku-Lebo club for middle and high school students shares their love of anime (Japanese cartoons) and manga (Japanese graphic novels or comics) by watching movies and learning about Japanese culture and holidays. Participants also draw, play games and make crafts. Some of the activities they enjoy regularly include origami, bonsai, the Asian strategy game "Go" and both candy and felt sushi making.
The group meets after school on the second Thursday of each month during the school year, and all middle and high school-age students are invited. The next meeting will be a special celebration of the lunar New Year (the Year of the Snake) from 3:15-4:30 p.m. Feb. 14.

The very symbol of warmth and comfort, it is little wonder that the fireplace is often the epicenter of any living room and the de-facto gathering place for families on a given evening.
Contrary to stereotypical belief, there is no rule that limits fireplaces to living rooms. The right model will work wonders on your kitchen, dinning room, even your bedroom as well.

A North Strabane Township mother and son were arraigned Tuesday in connection with three house burglaries late last year in North Strabane, South Strabane and Somerset townships.
Pamela Cessna, 53, and Nicholas Cessna, 21, both of 57 Hothouse Lane, were initially arrested Dec. 24 for a burglary of a neighbor's home. But those charges were withdrawn and refiled Tuesday to include all three burglaries.
The two are accused of burglarizing the home of Rene and Gene Hudock, 48 Hothouse Lane, North Strabane, on Dec. 8; the home of Mark and Nancy Scopel, 134 Roupe Road, South Strabane, on Dec. 21, and the home of Reid Yannacci, 647 Lincoln Ave., Somerset, on Dec. 23.
Washington County First Assistant District Attorney Michael Lucas said when police searched the Cessna home after their arrest, they found property believed to be stolen from the homes in South Strabane and Somerset.
"It took some time to verify whose property it was," Lucas said Tuesday. "Then a decision was made to bring all the charges together."
Pamela Cessna also was charged by police with forgery, dealing in proceeds of unlawful activities and bad checks. She allegedly got two people to cash checks totalling $2,500 that had been stolen from Four Seasons Landscaping in November.
North Strabane police were investigating the use of stolen checks when they received information from someone who had gone with the Cessnas while they sold jewelry.
At one resale, Nicholas Cessna allegedly remarked that "we had a big score" and would not have to do anything illegal for awhile, according to court documents.
Police were able to get documentation of Pamela Cessna selling some jewelry at a store in Monroeville. The Hudocks were able to identify the jewelry as belonging to them.
When police went to their home Dec. 24 to arrest them, Ray Cessna, Pamela's husband and Nicholas' father, gave police permission to search the home. A charm bracelet matching the description given to South Strabane was found along with drug paraphernalia. Police also found a receipt for the sale of a diamond ring belonging to Lawanda Yannacci.
During the arraignment, Nicholas Cessna told District Judge Jay Weller the evidence appears to involve his mother more than himself.
Weller set bond for each at $100,000. Frank Arcuri, attorney for Pamela Cessna, argued the amount was excessive since she is not a danger to herself or others.
"The charges are excessive," Weller answered. Both are charged with three counts of burglary and theft and one count each of conspiracy and receiving stolen property.
She was transported to the Washington County jail. Nicholas Cessna had been lodged in jail on a probation violation.
Also on Tuesday, Nicholas Cessna waived unrelated charges of driving under suspension, unauthorized use of a vehicle and possession of paraphernalia to court.
A preliminary hearing on the new charges is set for Feb. 12.
Cessna and her husband are also facing charges filed by the state attorney general's office in July for allegedly failing to pay business-related taxes.
