About this Costume
- Construction Details:
The boyfran had been wanting to do a Pyramid Head cosplay for a while, and asked if I would make a Bubblehead Nurse to go along with it. Considering that the Silent Hill movie was one of the first movies we had watched together (and I've been finding a new delight in cosplaying creepy/evil characters), I jumped at the chance to do it. :D
The dress itself was really easy to make -- Baru had bought a pattern for something similar at one point, so I altered that pattern a bit and whipped up a nice little white cotton dress....and then destroyed it. Seriously. Most fun thing to do ever. I dipped it in a black tea and RIT dye mix, rubbed it with all sorts of coffee grounds and dirt and basically beat the crap out of it. I burned the edges instead of hemming, and then went over places with rubber latex to give it texture/a really creepy feel. Then I added acrylic paint and ta-da! Nurse dress! I did the same thing to the hat after I made it, as well as the shoes (which I had lying around from an old Halloween costume).
The mask was the last part and was a bit intimidating as I'd never done anything like it before. Salty gave me some really helpful pointers for starting it (plastic face mask with a baseball cap taped to it), and I went from there. It's several layers of plaster of paris and then covered in rubber latex and acrylic paint.
No, I cannot see or breathe very easily in this costume. Derp derp. It's super fun to stumble-walk and be generally creepy with my Pyramid Head though.

Chris Watt smiles on the football field.
The toothy, wide grin would seem friendly in most other lights, a pleasant expression from the gentle 310-pound giant of Glen Ellyn, Ill. On the field, behind a face mask, it has a different effect.
Manti Te'o knows. He saw it for years.
This month, the Chargers chose Watt in the third round of the NFL Draft. The selection reunited two former college teammates. Watt, a guard, and Te'o, an inside linebacker, arrived at Notre Dame together as part of its 2009 recruiting class. Over four seasons, Te'o grew familiar with the quiet smirk that very well may define Watt as a football player.
For Te'o, the smile came during practice.
"He's possibly one of the most kind guys off the field," Te'o said, "but when you get on the field, he doesn't say anything. He doesn't talk. He just smiles at you. He'll whack you and then just smile at you. I think that's the most intimidating thing, someone who can put pain on you and just smile after. That's the most humiliating thing. He's not a rah-rah type of guy. He knows his role. He knows what his talents and strengths are. That's going out there and smashing people.
"He will literally pancake somebody and just move on and pancake somebody else and move on. After the play, if you watch him, you wouldn't even know he just pancaked two people on one play. That's how he is."
Watt laughed when asked about the smile.
It's not an accident, he said.
The timely expression traces back to his prep days at Glenbard West. An offensive line coach there, former Wisconsin tight end John Sigmund, advised him to smile at the opposition. A defender may chirp between plays. Just smile in return.
"I'm not really a talker," Watt said. "Maybe sometimes during practice, I might say a couple jabs at some guys. But for the most part, I just like to go out and hit people, smile, and do it again, line up, and do it again. … I love the game. It's a lot of fun. I just enjoy it."
He is the anti-D.J. Fluker of sorts.
The Chargers right tackle is a locomotive, screaming and fog-horning down the track. That style is effective for the physical 2013 first-round pick. It could become a matter of preference for defenders in the coming years: At which volume do you take your pancakes?
For Te'o and Watt to both be in San Diego is something of a novelty.
Before the Chargers drafted Te'o in the second round in 2013, they previously went 18 full drafts and 147 picks without selecting a Notre Dame player. Two have been picked now in consecutive years between eight selections.
Practice, they agree, ought to be fun.
In South Bend, the two were friends. All freshman football players live on the same floor during the summer before the first season. They came to know each other well. Over the years, both evolved into core leaders in the locker room.
Notre Dame ran a 3-4 defense.
That gave Watt and Te'o their share of encounters in practice.
Watt said Te'o often would get the better of him. There was that one time Watt sent Te'o to the ground, the kind of moment that almost certainly drew hollers from teammates and coaches. But Watt wanted an asterisk over it because Te'o tripped over a player.
"I blamed it on a guy, but he got me," Te'o said. "He definitely got me. … He and I went at it in practice. We competed, and it got heated sometimes. That's how it's supposed to be. You push each other. He'd get the better part of me, and I'd get the better part of him sometimes. There were some big collisions in practice between me and him. When he got drafted, I called him up and said, 'It looks like I've got another three to four years to go up against you again.' "
Say cheese.
The grin is here to stay.

text: I'm starting to print bigger. Started from 8x10 and now I am printing 11x14 more. In a week or so, I will be printing 16x20, I hope. Here's a question for those who have experiences in printing big. How do you minimize waste in paper? I can print 8x10 and get adjustment and contrast right, but when I scale up to 11x14, pure mathematical calculation doesn't do it. Contrast looks different and the overall impression of the print isn't the same - beyond the size difference. I find I need to bump up the contrast 1/4 grade or so, and lighten the print slightly to get the "same" print. I'm expecting, by going to 16x20, the difference will be greater. In short, I can practice on 8x10 but I will have to go through few trials on 16x20 as well. Are there any tricks and tips on minimizing waste on large (and expensive) paper? To start, I'm going to use Pearl RC paper.

Pierce County, Wash., officials say they're just trying to stave off private-sector competition for county employees by paying 12% of its workers more than $100,000 a year. That explanation isn't sitting well with some citizens.
The local newspaper recently revealed that the number of employees earning six figures jumped 70% last year—partly because 2009 had 27 paydays instead of 26. That created backlash from taxpayers and some local officials, who point out that the median household income in the county is $70,000.
County employees also got 5.2% pay raises last year—although furlough days ate much of the bump.
A County Council spokesman said it may consider offering no pay raises for 2010.

The Visualisation of Spatial Social Structure
401 pages
August 2012
The visualization of spatial social structure means, literally, making visible the geographical patterns to the way our lives have come to be socially organised, seeing the geography in society. To a statistical readership visualization implies using data. More widely defined it implies freeing our imaginations.
The Visualization of Spatial Social Structure introduces the reader to new ways of thinking about how to look at social statistics, particularly those about people in places. The author presents a unique combination of statistical focus and understanding of social structures and innovations in visualization, describing the rationale for, and development of, a new way of visualizing information in geographical research. These methods are illustrated through extensive full colour graphics; revealing mistakes, techniques and discoveries which present a picture of a changing political and social geography. More complex aspects on the surface of social landscapes are revealed with sculptured symbols allowing us to see the relationships between the wood and the trees of social structure. Today's software can be so flexible that these techniques can now be emulated without coding.
This book centres on a particular place and time; 1980s Britain, and a particular set of records; routine social statistics. A great deal of information about the 80s' social geography of Britain is contained within databases such as the population censuses, surveys and administrative data. Following the release of the 2011 census, now is a good time to look back at the past to introduce many new visualization techniques that could be used by future researchers.

"One of the more enjoyable aspects of this book is that every section begins with an interesting quote from the literature, which adds up to 60+ quotes that readers may wish to consult for future reference. A final, light-hearted observation: each chapter is divided into exactly seven sections! In some cultures, this would be interpreted as an attempt to curry favor with fate. Readers will have to decide whether Dorling played a lucky hand in turning his doctoral dissertation into a book, two decades on." (Journal of Regional Science, 1 October 2013)

What would happen if you applied the data visualisation techniques of 2012 to data from the 1980s?
Danny Dorling explores this in his latest book: The Visualisation of Spatial Social Structure.
Published by Wiley, The Visualisation of Spatial Social Structure introduces new ways of visualizing people in places. Using examples from 1980s Britain, Dorling is able to visualise the society inherited by Margaret Thatcher's government in 1979 and show how that society had been changed by 1990, the year of her forced resignation.
While the case study is 1980s Britain, the application of techniques demonstrated in the book are far wider. The author presents a unique combination of statistical focus and understanding of social structures and innovations in visualization, describing the rationale for, and development of, a new way of visualizing information in geographical research. Today's software can be so flexible that these techniques can now be emulated without coding.
Lavishly illustrated with full colour graphics throughout, Dorling's unique approach shows how statistical data visualization techniques can enhance social science data.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have stormed the world of music winning many different awards, including Best New Artist, among others, at this year's GRAMMYs!
There was a point in time over the past couple of years when you couldn't go anywhere without hearing one of their songs.
Everybody thinks knows who they are, but do they really? I'm sure 9 out of 10 people could spot Macklemore in a crowd, but couldn't come close to pointing out his producer/DJ, Ryan Lewis.
Jimmy Fallon put this theory to the test on his show last night and sent out Ryan Lewis himself to find out, which is today's Viral Video of the Day.

All quotes by Grace Park
(14 quotes found)
"I'm feeling good, ... For the last month or so I've been working very hard. I kept telling myself it's never too late to play well again, and I wanted to finish the season well. I'm glad that it's turning around."
"I have had a few chances to play with Michelle, ... I think she is a sweet girl. She is a wonderful player, very strong and got great skills. But to me she is still a 16-year-old. When she talks to me she is like a little sister. We'll have fun playing together."
"I'm very excited to be in the position that I'm in, ... Obviously, I had a sour finish last year but, you know, I'm leading again, and I hope to have a different story at the end of the tournament."
"Going into today's round, I knew I would have to have my 'A' game. She was top class but I'm still pretty happy."
"I hope I have that momentum going but this course is different from Mission Hills that it's going to require so many more different game plans, ... I'm glad this is a three-day event, because I have an extra day to rest and recuperate before I begin again, so it will definitely be a plus."
"I'm looking forward to this year and I'm happy and relieved to get the first round out of the way. Shooting a first score of 66, I'm very happy. I had a little butterflies in my stomach starting off the round. That is why I'm relieved."
"I was waiting for this day for the past six weeks, really working hard on my game and getting my strength back and waiting for that first day of the new season. And I had a little butterflies in my stomach this season starting off the round."

Ars Magica - interview @ RPGCodex
View Single Post
October 25th, 2012, 18:19
BTW, for those who aren't familiar with Ars Magica magic works like this:
There are 5 "verb" magic skills and 10 "noun" skills. Latin is used for the names. You combine a verb and noun skill to cast a spell.
(from Wikipedia)
Creo is the technique that lets the Magus create from nothingness, or make something a more "perfect" examplar of its kind; this includes healing as healed bodies are "more perfect" than wounded bodies.
Intellego lets the Magus perceive or understand.
Muto lets the Magus change the basic characteristics of something, giving something capabilities or properties not naturally associated with its kind.
Perdo lets the Magus destroy, deteriorate, make something age and other similar effects - essentially, making something a worse example of its kind.
Rego lets the Magus control or manipulate something without affecting its basic characteristics.
Animal is used for animals. Since bacteria were unknown in medieval times, illnesses are evil spirits, which come under Vim.
Auram is used for anything that has to do with the air, including lightning. Weather phenomena such as rain and hail may be covered by Auram or Aquam.
Aquam is used for water, or any other liquid. This includes ice in the 5th edition; In 4th edition, Ice was Terram, since it is a solid.
Corpus (the incorrect declension Corporem was used in older editions) is used for the human body.
Herbam is used for plants and fungi, and their products - cotton, wood, flour, etc.
Ignem is used for fire, and fire's basic effects of light and heat.
Imaginem deals with images, sounds, and other senses, though humans' ability to perceive them is part of Mentem.
Mentem deals with intelligence and the mind, such as human or ghosts. The minds of animals are not affected by Mentem but by Animal.
Terram stands for earth and minerals, or any other non-living solid.
Vim has to do with pure magic; many spells to ban or control demons and other supernatural beings also belong to this Art, as such beings often have a form that expresses magically.
So a "fireball" spell would be a powerful Creo Ignem (create fire). But Creo Ignem could also be used to light a campfire, create a light, dry out wet clothing, incinerate an entire forest, or anything else involving the creation of heat/fire/light.
One of the really fun things is that you can think of lots of way to do something. So using the "dry out some clothing" example above I could use Creo Ignem to warm it and thus dry it, Perdo Aquam to destroy the water in it, Rego Aquam to remove the water from it, Creo Aurum to create a breeze to dry it, and so on.
There are lists of fixed spells that you can learn in addition to the spontaeous magic. The fixed spells are easier to cast and more effective but of course far less flexible.

Behind the elegant appearance of New Jersey-born painter Dotty Attie, there lurks something less genteel—as evidenced by the skull-and-crossbones earring that hangs from her right earlobe. Attie will show a new body of work, her first in four years, at P.P.OW. Titled "The Lone Ranger" (Nov. 21-Dec. 21), the show comprises five works, each composed of a number of 6-by-6-inch oil paintings in gridded formations. Each small painting proposes a playful, delicately rendered riff on the idea of concealed identity. "All of my work is about our hidden selves, the part of us we don't want to share with others," said Attie, who spoke to A.i.A. recently at her East 22nd Street studio.
For this show, the 75-year-old artist drew inspiration from the titular American icon. "It's sort of the secret life of the Lone Ranger," Attie said with a laugh. Some stray to the naughtier side: Curious Places (2012-13) depicts nude or scantily clad women engaged in whipping, spanking and bondage. Another, Assistance Needed (2012-13), shows people in peril: men with guns to their heads and knives to their flesh. Rather than spell out the idea of a mask, these works highlight the notion that behind closed doors, everyone lives a different life-and that each one of us has the capacity for violence and sadism.
Attie's inspiration for the five works came from her previous series, "What Would Mother Say," shown at P.P.O.W. in 2009. Similarly made up of multiple small paintings, the series contained text panels that read "Keep That Up Her Mother Said" and "And Who Knows What You Could Become." The premise was to depict children engaging in typical, innocent behavior that could be read by adults as either provocative or shameful, or heroic and admirable—depending on the child's gender. One image depicted a little girl doing a backbend, revealing her underwear; the corresponding image revealed the feared future result: a nude, prone, sexualized female body. The complement showed similarly questionable behavior by a boy, with the opposite result. "I made a painting of a little boy kissing a horse, and then the boy grows up to be the Lone Ranger," says Attie. "It was the only body of work I ever made that I considered gender-specific. It was based on the idea that, if a little boy does something, he will grow up to be a hero. But the little girls, doing the same thing, all become whores."
Attie's best-known works feature her interpretation of famous paintings, such as Courbet's L'Origine du Monde, mixed with text panels inscribed with enigmatic prose. "At one point, I joined [women's gallery] A.I.R.," explains Attie. "There was a group show, and I didn't know what to do. So I made a lot of drawings, very small. All images from art history, and they were all kind of weird, of course. When I had done about 12, I saw that they made a story. So I kept looking for things to further this story. I had read The Story of O, and it impressed me. So I went through it and took sentences that I thought were innocuous or really, really sinister. I put them together with drawings, and I've kind of been doing that ever since."
As her latest series of images suggest, Attie is still intrigued with what remains hidden. "I was at a junk shop recently, and I found a series of books called Crimes and Punishment: A Pictorial Encyclopedia of Aberrant Behavior," Attie said, laughing. "I thought: 'That was made for me!'"

The announcement might have come Friday from state Education Commissioner John Winn. But for Duval County's intervene school communities, the source of the decision allowing the School Board to continue managing these schools another year was clear.
"In my view it was nothing but God," said 17-year-old Ayanna Thomas, a senior at Raines High School, one of the county's four intervene schools. "Because someone just doesn't change their mind on something that important."
Intervene schools are the lowest-performing schools in the state. Duval's intervene schools face closure if they do not improve in the next three years. To get off the intervene list, the schools must earn a "C" grade on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test.
On Tuesday, the commissioner recommended Duval's appeal to keep control of the four schools — Ribault, Raines and Andrew Jackson high schools and North Shore K-8 — be denied. By Friday, Winn said that given the short amount of time before the beginning of the school year, it would be best to give the district another year of control — with conditions.
The Miami-Dade County school system also appealed on behalf of two of its intervene schools, and Winn will recommend that district also receive a waiver.
Winn spokesman Tom Butler said the change of heart was due to the commissioner's desire to have recommendations posted with the State Board of Education's agenda, which is published a week prior to the meeting. But Butler said Winn made the initial recommendation with full knowledge that he would continue to consider the issue.
The state board, which has a history of following the commissioner's recommendation, will vote on the appeal Tuesday in Tampa.
The three conditions Winn included in his recommendation to approve Duval's appeal includes the need to host a "well-publicized" event by Aug. 5 at each of the schools to showcase the options students have to transfer away from the schools.
Also, the district must seek the services of a management organization to help improve the schools and it must issue monthly reports to the commissioner.
And thirdly, the district must participate in a Race to the Top initiative that includes having five public meetings in the first half of the school year to review options for improving the schools and engage community leaders to come up with ideas the leaders would participate in.
Board 'pleased'
Superintendent Ed Pratt-Dannals said the conditions were appropriate.
"We're very pleased and appreciative that he did this," Pratt-Dannals said.
Pratt-Dannals said he and several School Board members will still make the trip to Tampa, where he will make a presentation to the state board.
The issue of how to deal with the four schools has been contentious and divisive for the School Board and caused angst and anger in the community. Winn's recommendation put smiles on school officials faces and cheer in the voices of community members who attended Friday's news conference.
Board member Betty Burney, who represents the community containing Raines, voted against handing the schools over to an education management organization and vowed to oppose the process throughout.
On Friday she was elated.
"There is a God in heaven," Burney said. "This has been a prayerful process because I know what can happen with these schools with one more year."
Burney said that with the likely allowance of one more year, the time for excuses regarding the four schools is over.
"I will do everything I can to continue our diligence and to make sure that management gets it right this year," she said.
"Going forward, the board must make sure that every person from the superintendent to every teacher in the school is held accountable. There should be no excuses."
School Board member Paula Wright, who represents the other three intervene schools, also voted against the management option and agreed with Burney.
"Not only no more excuses, but whoever we need to move, we're going to have to move," she said. "Because it's about these children. I don't care about positions, I don't care about titles, all we're going to focus on this year is who is able to help our children succeed."
Tommy Hazouri, who voted with Burney and Wright on the intervene issue, said the outcome was what the district wanted from the beginning.
Burney and Wright agreed that Winn's conditions for allowing one more year in "turnaround" status were fair.
Cleve Warren, executive director of Duval Partners for Excellent Education, the nonprofit created by the school system to serve as the management entity for the struggling schools, said he had no comment on Winn's reversal.
Duval Partners had become a lightning rod in the debate over the schools and a source of acrimony in the community. The group has its first open meeting Monday at the Schultz Center for Teaching and Leadership.
The intervene schools issue also helped give birth to the new organization The Friends of Northwest Jacksonville Schools.
Pervalia Gaines-McIntosh, one of the group's founders, said her organization still plans to take a group to Tampa.
"We want the state to know that we're holding everybody accountable, including ourselves," Gaines-McIntosh said.
Principals for two of the schools said they were happy to hear about Winn's change of heart.
Iranetta Wright, Andrew Jackson's principal, called the news "fabulous" and said her school community can now have a "sense of calm."
George Maxey, principal at Raines, said he was excited to be able to continue working toward improving student achievement at the school.
"I know my students will meet the challenge before them and it will be the responsibility of me and my staff to get them there."
Ayanna, one of Maxey's students, led an effort to organize students to voice their opposition to the management option. She also made a tearful plea to the School Board to reject the management option.
On Friday, she hugged Pratt-Dannals and thanked him.
When school opens in August, Ayanna said she will tell her peers that this must be their year of success.
"We should take advantage of what's given to us because tomorrow's not promised," she said. "And work hard and stay focused because as soon as something is given to you it can be taken away."

As reported on http://www.mercurynews.com:
Mavericks Surf Ventures loses out on permit to host big-wave contest
By Julia Scott – San Mateo County Times
SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO – Call it a David and Goliath story with a twist.
A new organization calling itself the Half Moon Bay Surf Group Inc. won a permit to produce the world-renowned annual surf contest at Mavericks from the San Mateo County Harbor Commission on Wednesday night, but not without a dose of controversy.
The new group, which represents the 24 big-wave competitors, succeeded in its campaign to replace Mavericks Surf Ventures Inc. as the event producer after it poached the company's main event sponsor, Barracuda Networks. Barracuda has made a three-year commitment to support the Half Moon Bay Surf Group, a coalition of surfers and local community members led by Katherine Clark Kelly, who is known as the matriarch of Mavericks. They have a new came for the contest: the "Maverick's Invitational."
The process has been stalled while the two groups fought over the event permit, and the result is that the permitted contest window will be smaller than ever this year, between Dec. 1 and Feb. 28.
Wednesday, Mavericks Surf Ventures CEO Keir Beidling surprised everyone by accusing the new group of stealing "trade secrets" and violating his company's intellectual property rights. He said his company has trademarked the name "Mavericks Surf Contest," which it uses in its successful apparel line.

Wednesday is here again but unfortunately it's not new comic day for everyone. The flooding in the midwest has screwed up shipping schedules, pushed books back, and in some extreme cases has wiped out whole comic shops altogether. If your head is above water then count yourself lucky. I'll be keeping tabs on the flooding and relief efforts for comic shop owners that have suffered from the rising waters. Keep your eyes on this space for info on how you can help. In other news, the DC editorial offices have taken a beating this past week from some of their top writers and, according to Diamond comics estimated sales for May, have lost even more of the comic market share to Marvel. If heads aren't rolling out of that office soon we're going to have to form a mob and do this ourselves. Good old fashioned vigilante justice folks, that's what we need. We'll get us a riled-up group of surly nerds with pitch forks and torches and march on the DC offices. Who's with me…
OK, we'll try this again next week.
Lets look at some new comics you've gotta pick up before they disappear and remember you can click on the links for previews and other information.
"Charlatan Ball", Image Comics, Written by Joe Casey with art by Andy Suriano
If you haven't been reading Joe Casey's other Image book,Godland, you should be. It's excellent and all the other kids are making fun of you behind your back. With Godland and his latest offering Charlatan Ball Casey has established himself as the "wildman" of modern comics. These are stories that couldn't be told at Marvel or DC. Casey's psychedelic science fiction hearkens back to the genius of creators like Jack Kirby while keeping a decided modern and twisted sense of humor. I can't recommend his Image books enough. Charlatan Ball has been referred to as graphic fiction on shrooms and nothing could be closer to the truth. Paired with the amazingly original art of Andy Suriano, who has worked on The Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, and the animated Star Wars Clone Wars, Casey weaves a magically weird tale that you don't want to miss. However, don't be surprised to see retailers turn up their nose and order this one at lower numbers than Casey's Godland which checked in at #295 on the 300 most ordered comics list for April shipping a whopping 3072 copies nationwide.
"The Incredible Hercules"Written by Fred Van Lente and Greg Pak with art by Rafa Sandoval
Again I find myself screaming. WHY AREN'T YOU READING THIS BOOK? Last Thursday I threatened to beat a guy over the head with an Issue of The Incredible Hercules, thereby destroying it's condition, unless he read it. Sure enough the guy loved it and bought the entire run. This is just an example of one of the lives that I have touched with my geek knowledge but that's not the point. The point is Herc continues to sell out every month and is not going to reprints. These issues are going to be hot and I don't mean until the Secret Invasion storyline ends. I'm talking about hot for the foreseeable future. It certainly doesn't hurt that this issue is a Secret Invasion tie-in, a fact that will make this issue sell out even quicker. If you haven't been reading the Incredible Herc and can't find the issues you're in luck. This week Marvel Comics released a Hardcover edition titled "The Incredible Hercules: Against the World" that collects Herc's saga so far. Issue #118 pits Herc and a rag tag group of earthly gods against the Skrull's pantheon of gods. If there's a better superhero comic on the new self this week I'll eat it.
"Willaim Katt's Sparks #1", Catastrophic Comics, Written by Christopher Folino with art by J.M. Ringuet
Now if you are like me then right now your saying "who is William Katt". I'm ashamed to admit I forgot him but William Katt was the guy with the curly-blond-afro that starred in The Greatest American Hero. A show that I more than loved as a child in 1981… I just dated the heck outta myself didn't I. Anyway, William can sleep well tonight knowing that putting his name on a comic book (not writing mind you, Will just came up with the idea) is enough to make Matt Baum subjugate his own morals and pick said comic to be hot that week. That and the fact that I'm betting 90% of the comic retailers out there either had no idea who William Katt was or didn't take the time to dig through the independent section of their Diamond Comics catalog long enough to even look at the modest Catastrophic Comics section. I'm not saying this one is going to be worth millions someday, just that it'll be hard to find this week. By the way, my retailer not only knew who Katt was but also ordered his book. Nice job Jase.
So that's it for now kiddies. Get out there and get your funny books. I'm sending good vibes to all you nerds underwater at the moment. Like I said as soon as I hear of a relief effort for flooded comic shops you can count me in. If any of you guys are above water but cut off from your local comic shop drop me a line and I'll hook you up with some quality retailers that will get you your issues by mail. Until next week feel free to post to the forum topics in the comic books community and tell me what you're reading/collecting. Also check out my other blog, The Comic Speculator, where I discuss classic yet still affordable back-issue comics. If you have any questions about these books or anything else in the comic book world feel free to contact me or post your question in the Comic Book community forum. Want to know what your comics are worth? Join Worthpoint for free and post your titles in the "Ask A Question" section.

All quotes by Joan Chen
(83 quotes found)
"The mainstream welcomes kung fu films - martial art films, right? So that's one type of Chinese-ness that's welcome."
"All my girlfriends were learning musical instruments - forced to learn musical instruments because if they knew a musical instrument, they would be in the performance troupe. Even if they were sent down. Then they wouldn't be in the fields. Then they'd probably be treated a little better. That was the hope."
"I will always have a career. I believe in working. I don't believe that taking care of your house and children is enough for a woman. You don't feel complete."
"When you feel so strongly about something and other people feel equally strongly, you have to feel stronger about it in order to succeed."
"There are a few stories that I like, but I don't know how to approach them because there's no part for me-just books I read."
"I don't believe beauty exists without suffering-that's just a tourist picture in a travel agency, which isn't beautiful to me."
"The difference between me and American-born actors is that I came here with the expectation of not being treated fairly."
"Beauty is the result of having been through an experience all the way through to the end-therefore it has a poignancy. Beauty that is singular always comes from following an experience to the point where you can go no further."

Louisville has hosted Fairfield, Ohio three-star offensive lineman Danny Burns several times already, but when the 6-foot-6, 321-pound tackle brought his grandparents with him for his most recent visit to the school, Fairfield head coach Jason Krause knew it was getting serious.
With his grandparents and other family members beside him, Burns committed to the Louisville coaching staff on Thursday during a visit to the campus.
"Since the first time he went down there, they were always at the top of his list," Krause said. "He just really liked the school atmosphere, the proximity of it to the city of Louisville and obviously the coaches and the program. He has kind of compared every place he's visited to them."
Article Continues Below
Thursday's visit to Louisville was Burns' third of the recruiting process, and ultimately became the deciding trip.
"He was really leaning towards them," Krause said. "Today he spent a little more time not really on-campus, but around the campus in the city. He called me a couple hours ago and said he was going to commit."
Through his interaction with the Louisville staff and evaluation of their offense combined with his insight to Burns' game, Krause likes the fit for his rising senior offensive tackle in the Cardinal's program.
"Speaking with the o-line coach down there, Danny's development is going to be tremendous," Krause said. "That is going to be a great fit for him.
"Offensively what they do is going to mirror what we have combined with our offense the last couple years with some run out of the spread package and being a zone guy. Danny's been kind of doing that with us."
Burns held more than a dozen offers from schools around the Midwest, and he was named the offensive line MVP at the Cincinnati Rivals Camp Series stop back in April. Krause broke down what Louisville is getting in the offensive tackle prospect.
"I think the first thing that is obvious is his size," Krause said. "His agility and the way he moves and bends at that size is hard to find at that size. His strength is already there. He is not a guy who is going to have to develop strength or size or weight - he has all the pieces already."
Burns is ranked as the No. 32 offensive tackle prospect in the country and the No. 23 player in the state of Ohio's 2014 class. He is the fourth prospect from Ohio to commit to Louisville in this recruiting cycle.

The Vow, QU style
Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:54:54 GMT —
For John and Lisa Fischer,
Quincy University
is more than just the place where they met.
"We were married in October 2004, here, at the Chapel," Lisa said. After 8 years of marriage, the Fischers thought it was time to renew their vows.
"It's like a homecoming for us," Lisa said.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Quincy University's St. Francis Chapel. Since its opening, more than 500 couples have gotten married within its walls.
Dozens of those love birds gathered at the chapel Sunday morning to renew their vows.
"We haven't been on campus since our wedding," John said. "It's been awhile and it's nice to come back."
This is the first year QU has held a renewal ceremony.
"It recalls for them that special moment that it was for them," Father Ferd Cheri, the priest that lead the renewal ceremony, said. "It also enables them to recommit themselves to again to the vows that they made and as they do it, they do it witnessing the mystery of their married love as they have lived it out for as many years as they've been married."
For some couples, this was their first time renewing their vows. For others like Richard and Pauline Weir, it was their fourth.
"It was kind of special to us, because it's been 55 years," Pauline said. The Weirs were married at the chapel in June of 1957 when Quincy University used to be called Quincy College. "I graduated one Sunday and we got married the next Saturday," Pauline said.
But even after all the years of marriage, saying "I do" again and again never gets old.
"It brings back everything you promised to do," Pauline said.
"It's been great," Richard said.
A lifetime of greatness the Fischers hope to experience as well.
"Hopefully, we can come back when we've been married for 40 some odd years and still see the chapel," John said.

Hey, see here for another bug code (the display is broken) awesomescreenshot when the post-excerpt are displaied.
The footer fly on the right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have verificated this problem with firefox 5.
can you post a link to the page where this error occurs? We can investigate it first hand then.
Hi Dude, my site have a htaccess file. Send me your e-mail where I can transmit the my data access.
You can send me the login data to: (Email address hidden if logged out) – I'll forward it to Kriesi so that he can debug the site personally.
I have sent.
I think this post: http://www.edilpress.com/archives/20 misses a strong close tag in the excerpt. This causes various errors. Please fix this. That said I don't think it's a theme bug but just a html coding error…
In that post (http://www.edilpress.com/archives/20) I don't have a my own excerpt. The excerpt you see for this post is the automatic generated excerpt. How do I find an html coding error?
Indeed I think that those errors are generated by the function to create the excerpt bult in the theme (and I think that this depend from the code loop that contain the automatic excerpt).
Thanks for your patience.
Carlor, that is the same issues I was having with my blog. Yes, the automatic excerpt generated breaks the theme so to fix it just manually add one. That seems to be working for me. Would be better if the auto would work though, haha cause I have so many posts!
I reported it as a (severe) bug to Kriesi. It's caused by the avia_excerpt function. We'll release an update soon.
Definitively resolved the archive bug. The layout works fine (see the solution here(Purchase code hidden if logged out) – (Purchase code hidden if logged out) ">here).

709 Tasting Notes
So this isn't actually so bad. The beau and I have been looking for a good apple tea (that is more cider-esque than anything else) for a while. We've had a few contendors, but they always seem to be get discontinued. We tried this bagged tea last evening, and I was relatively impressed by it. Might get some to have on hand for when we want something easy and appley. Also, stay away from Tim Hortons Chai Lattes, as I'm pretty certain that espresso or coffee or something else in that terribly bitter neighbourhood was added to mine, though I don't know why. : (
Had a wonderful re-visit with this tea yesterday while visiting the in-laws. Steeped to perfection, I had wonderful juicy blueberry taste, a thick mouthfeel and a hint of the cream cheese aspect (while hot – I find the cheesecake/cream cheese flavours to appear only when hot). The black tea was there underneath it all supporting the delicious flavours, which was nice. The beau claimed he over-steeped his, but mine was WONDERFUL!
Sad to be on my last pack of this, it is one thing that always makes me sad when I truly love a 52Teas tea. This is one of only 2 or 3 that I liked enough to want continuously, but it's saddening to know that when it's gone, it's gone.
This one comes from my 12 Teas of Christmas sampler – when I opened it, I thought it was the Extra Bold Masala Chai, and was surprised to read it was Caramel Vanilla. The aroma pre and post steeping is just that of the bold chai (which I have had bad experiences with, it can get very very bitter). I did this cup with boiling water and a brief steep, maybe two minutes. After letting it cool I could get a hint of caramel aroma, but the taste was pure chai. Very similar to the Extra Bold Masala Chai. I get a hint of caramel at the end of the sip, but it is more an echo than a taste. As it cools it becomes more bitter, so I added a bit of milk which enhances the illusion of caramel and vanilla. Certainly not a favourite, but I haven't had a chai in a while so that's nice.
Update: That black tea is SO BITTER. Might do the rest of the sample as stovetop with milk, but I definitely shouldn't use boiling water. Might go add some sugar as well as the milk (neither of which I usually add. I happen to think it's a poor tea that requires milk or sugar, but I know that isn't a popular opinion). Hoping that with alternate preparations I can really get the most out of this sample. Sugar and milk helped cut down the bitterness, but I'm still making a pinched up face while I drink!
I agree with you—teas that require milk and sugar are lacking. Let the stoning begin for our heathen opinions! :)
I enjoy teas occasionally with milk and sugar, but I agree, if a tea requires it to be drinkable, then it's a poor tea indeed.
REQUIRES is totally the word I needed. I'm going to edit that in there. i have no problem with a tea being enhanced by additions, but requiring it is just upsetting.Good to know I'm not alone. : )
Well. Once upon a time, I had a pouch of this tea. I found it too boldly vanilla, almost coconutty – My pouch moved along to a proper vanilla loving person and I moved on with my day. But, then came Christmas and the 12 Teas from Frank. Yesterday was the dreaded Coconut Cheesecake Honeybush (I loathe coconut) so I took the day off, looking forward to today. Imagine my unease when I smelled today's blend. Luckily, I'm liking this. I learned from past mistakes and went light on the steep time, and I have a nice smooth vanilla, with no traces of coconut. Of course, the re-blend is likely a bit different from the original, but I am glad to enjoy this cuppa. I am moving the rating up a bit based on today's success, but don't regret my passing along of the original pouch. Merry Christmas, all!
Wow. I am finally in the same residence as may 12 Teas of Christmas (and my family, yay!) so I am giving this a shot. I've got to say, I'm impressed. I don't like green tea as a general rule, and the idea of marshmallow green tea never appealed. However, this is quite tasty. While my conditions are far from perfect (microwaved water, eek) it yields a tasty sweet cp of tea. I'm not getting much green (which I don't mind) but there really is a marshmallow and rice krispy taste going on here. I am pleasantly surprised! I'll give it another steep later on and see how that goes, for now I am saving the other half of my sample for my beau, when he arrives on Friday.
An explanation, first. I have tried a small number of flavoured oolongs but am not overly keen on them. Nothing wrong with them, but never my go-to tea. I have never really given unflavoured oolongs a try, though I did try a sip of the beau's at Sawadee Tea House once (brewed Western style) but I mostly found it bitter and over-steeped. Tonight I brought out my gaiwan and my tiny cute double walled glass teacups to do "Western style Gong-fu" (I am not using flash rinses, but instead a sightly lower temperature for 1 minute or so). I don't really know what to call it, but that's what I think of!
Also, a note for poor Mercuryhime who sent me a couple of lovely looking oolongs to try – I wanted to cut my teeth on the relatively inexpensive and very available DT Tie Kwan Yin so I can (hopefully!) better appreciate the ones you sent. I WILL be trying them soon!
Initially, the dry leaves smell delicious and appealing, lightly sweet and floral, but mild (remember that I'm a dedicated black tea drinker!) First steep got 1 min or so and yielded a light greenish liquor, with a mild floral taste. As I told the beau, it reminds me of a blooming tea but not as strong in flavour. Likely a user error, but really nice nonetheless. The leaves unfolded a lot and are HUGE at this point, lovely full leaves. Stunning to watch.
Steep 2: Similar steep time/temp (I don't use a thermometer or timer, hah!) Flavour is similar (sweet, lightly floral) but with a bit more strength. The liquor is a bit more yellow, and this too is a satisfying cuppa. I'm definitely not catching any nuances of flavour here, but there is definitely nothing objectionable. I am used to bold flavours, but for a lighter sort of tea, I have no problem drinking this. I know I've said it already, but this still reminds me of blooming teas I have tried. I presume it is the floral notes that I am being reminded of here.
Steep 3: Stepped up to boiling water, to see if it would add anything to the mix, really. I'm afraid that if I don't I will just be drinking hot water. This steep came the closes to a hint of bitterness, but was really the same smooth sweet floral taste I've had all along. I'm out of time for today, might try some more tomorrow or might let it rest.
I'm gonna give this a rating of high 70s for now, likely to be adjusted when I have more experience in the field. This was a beautiful tea and experience, and I'm glad I gave it a shot. I didn't experience any bitterness from this tea like I did with my bad experience Western style attempt many moons ago – Yay for potential oolong appreciation!
Ok, I admit I'm anxious to see what you think of the oolongs I sent, but I can wait. Take your time. :)
I tend to like my black teas bold as well, so I need to be in a certain mood for them. My default cravings lean towards lighter and more refreshing flavors. Lately, I've been really craving minty and desserty teas though. Anyways, oolongs can be an expensive habit. Just a warning. hehe
Having a cup of this while in switchboard today. Unfortunately, today it isn't quite what I wanted. The chocolate is still rich and bold, but I am not in the mood for that. I think I'm really in the mood (once again) for a lovely black tea with natural cocoa notes rather than a flavoured tea. I also desperately want to try the oolongs sent to me by MercuryHime (and the two I picked up at DT last night to go with them) but first I need to have time to sit down with my gaiwan (and the beau) to try them out. I am excited because I can use my tiny double walled glasses when the time comes!
Anyway, this tea. Getting dark chocolate, with a hint of sweetness (more on the end of the sip than the flavour). I am feeling a hint of chili burn on my lips, but it isn't overly present in the taste. I do remember that coming out more as I got deeper in the cup last time though. Solid tea, just not to my tastes at the moment. If only I could afford to go home in the middle of the day for a couple hours and have lovely tea as I want it.
Santa Baby, Coming down my chimney tonight…
But only with this tea! Creepiness of that song aside, this tea is still going strong. Delicious, creamy and smooth, it has a richness that is surprising, considering the fairly minimal ingredients list. I wish I had ice cream that tasted like this… Though at this point, I wish everything tasted like this. Yum!!
Seconded on the ice cream (even though I shouldn't have it). The only candy cane ice cream I can find is full of chocolate, booo!
There was a Chapmans one at my grocery store that looked good, but I boldyl walked by. not sure if it included chocolate, though..
If it was the one with a penguin on it, then yep! Choco city. Boo. But I have grown to love Chapman's since moving up here!
I've had candy cane ice cream without chocolate…I think Scotsburn has it without chocolate (actually, I don't think I've ever seen it with chocolate).
I find this tea much more satisfying (and makes me feel less guilty) than the candy cane hot chocolate from tims!
Oh, I've had it, I just haven't been able to find it since moving to Toronto. It's for the best anyway, I can't really have it.
I knooooooooow. It's so sad! Those towering scoops of ice cream is every flavour imaginable . . . I miss it so much.
I've had this for a while but somehow never got around to trying it. I only bought 20 grams, but it is such a light tea that I got one of those little silver bags DT uses almost full. The smell of the dry leaves is fairly typical black tea, in my opinion. The steeped smell however, is a different beast. I smell honeyed notes, a natural sweetness that I LOVE to find in my black teas. Honestly I am in the mood for something with cococa notes, but I don't think this will suit that need. Also, I'm having some almonds with this, so we'll see what impact that has!
Almonds aside, this was surprisingly mild. I get a honeyed sweetness in the taste, but it's not overbearing. There is no bitterness at all, and this is a very smooth tea. I don't know that I can pick out any specific flavours, but I am loving this. It's a nice easy drinking black tea, the kind that would make a good companion to a lazy afternoon with a great book. MMmmm…
I pushed this one to three steeps in my small/medium sized Gaiwan – The first two were really good but the third was a bit of a stretch, I think. Can't fault a black tea that yields two delicious steeps, though!
@Cattibrie – I've had a couple plain blacks that I am crazy for, but they are largely inaccessible to me (Harney's Golden Snail, Keemun Mao Feng). This one is a pretty good stand in though, and I do love some natural sweetness. Now I need DT to have a yummy Golden Snail-ish tea! : )
Found some of this in the "far back" of my tea cupboard while digging out some favourites over the weekend. I brought the few remaining bags with me to work to use while at reception/switchboard. Had a sore throat this morning so I went for this one rather than a bagged black and was glad I did. I still quite like this one for a bagged tea, the flavour comes through as sweet mandarin, but not cloyingly so. I've had trouble finding nice orange teas, so this one is a treat. : )

MCUs - SoC for dashboard-mounted car navigation and infotainment systems offers enhanced audio and video functions
Post a comment
San Jose, Calif. - Renesas Technology America, Inc., has launched the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) system-on-chip (SoC) device for compact portable navigation and infotainment systems and low- and mid-priced dashboard-mounted car navigation and infotainment systems. The new SoC, the third product in Renesas' SH-NaviJ Series, speeds development through OpenGL ES1.1 support and offers enhanced multimedia functions such as terrestrial digital TV broadcast support.
The SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) makes it possible for developers to create AV navigation and infotainment systems that combine low cost and compact size in less time. Sample shipments began in Japan on October 8, 2009.
The SH-NaviJ Series comprises compact, single-chip SoC devices that provide map rendering functions and high quality based on the SH-Navi series, which are already used in a variety of high-end systems, while offering a carefully chosen selection of functions suitable for low-end to midrange systems.
The new product incorporates a more powerful version of the graphics processor, with 2-D and 3-D rendering support included from the earlier SH-NaviJ1 and SH-NaviJ2, while also implementing support for OpenGL ES1.1, the industry-standard programming interface for graphics processing in embedded devices. This enables 3-D graphics software development that previously required the use of a development board to be performed on a PC. The graphics processor supports high-level image display, such as rendering a variety of 3-D objects on a map or implementing a graphical user interface (GUI) with detailed and realistic looking 3-D elements. Support for OpenGL ES1.1 greatly simplifies and speeds up development of the necessary software.
To fully meet the requirements of today's AV navigation and infotainment systems, the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) incorporates high-performance multi-codec video processing IP with support for the H.264/MPEG-4 AVC (H.264) video compression standard used in ISDB-T terrestrial digital broadcasts for mobile phones and other devices. This IP employs technologies and skills based on the SH-Mobile series of application processors for mobile phone systems and delivers encoding and decoding performance of 30 frames per second (fps) in VGA format (640-480 pixels), supports MPEG-4 encoding and decoding as well as VC-1 decoding, and can be used for a wide variety of video application functions.
Terrestrial digital broadcast formats used overseas are supported, such as DVB-H (Europe) and DMB (South Korea). This reduces the number of external components or software processing load required to build an AV navigation and infotainment system, lowering the system cost and shortening the development time. Finally, the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) is the same size (21 mm - 21 mm) as its predecessor, the second product in the SH-NaviJ Series, which contributes to compact system design.
For audio processing, the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) integrates a 24-bit dedicated audio DSP with support for a variety of compression formats, including AAC (Advanced Audio Coding), MP3, and WMA (Windows Media Audio). This 24-bit dedicated audio DSP also processes the AAC Plus (Advanced Audio Coding Plus)*7 audio compression format used by terrestrial digital broadcasts. Performing this processing in hardware rather than in software, as was previously the case, reduces the processing load on the CPU by the equivalent of about 50 MHz according to comparisons done by Renesas Technology. This makes it possible to further reduce the power consumption of the CPU.
There is also a built-in edge-emphasis function for high quality display of terrestrial digital broadcasts. It prevents blurring when QVGA-format (320-240 pixels) video is enlarged to VGA or WVGA (832-496 pixels) size. Other on-chip peripheral modules essential to car navigation and infotainment systems include a GPS baseband processor module, a TS interface for receiving terrestrial digital broadcasts, and CAN and MOST interfaces for a vehicle LAN. This large number of high-performance peripheral functions reduces the number of components required by the system, making it possible to reduce the overall cost while achieving excellent performance.
Additionally, a wide variety of middleware resources are available for the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3), including video middleware supporting H.264, MPEG-4, and WMV, and audio middleware supporting MP3, WMA and AAC Plus (Advanced Audio Coding Plus).
The SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) supports two-screen display. For example, two screens of WVGA graphics images can be displayed at the same time. (When a single screen is used, the maximum display size is WXGA [1,280 - 768 pixels].) This enables, as an example, one screen to be used by the car navigation and infotainment system and a second screen to be used as a rear monitor for the backseat passengers. The range of possible applications expands enormously. Of the two input-output signalsystems, one can be used to generate 24-bit color digital RGB output, enabling the display of subtle color gradations.
Demand is expected to grow in the years ahead for low- and mid-priced car navigation and infotainment systems, such as compact "memory navigation" systems that employ flash memory to store map data and are suitable as dashboard-mounted car navigation systems for compact cars.
At the same time, increasing demand for improved functionality and flexibility has led manufacturers of car navigation and infotainment systems to develop low-end and midrange products in parallel with the development of their high-end products, and the pace of this development work is speeding up. As a result, there is strong demand for SoC products that integrate on a single chip the key functions needed in a high-performance and compact car navigation and infotainment system, while also providing connectivity with storage devices such as flash memory cards and USB drives.
Another important priority is increasing development efficiency by making effective use of software resources originally developed for high-end products. In response to these requirements, Renesas Technology launched the SH-NaviJ Series in 2008. These compact single-chip devices retain the sophisticated map rendering functions and high quality of the SH-Navi Series of SoCs for high-end systems and offer a carefully chosen selection of functions suitable for low-end to midrange products such as dashboard-mounted car navigation and infotainment systems.
Dashboard-mounted car navigation systems and simple car navigation systems such as personal navigation devices (PNDs), are increasingly being equipped with the ability to receive terrestrial digital TV broadcasts, and this trend is expected to grow in the future. Renesas Technology has integrated into the SH-NaviJ Series intellectual property (IP) developed for the popular SH-Mobile Series of application processors for mobile phone systems. The result is the SH7777 (SH-NaviJ3) with enhanced multimedia functions.
Product details
Like the previous products in the SH-Navi Series, the SH7777 is built around the SH-4A, the most powerful CPU core in the SuperH Family. At the maximum operating frequency of 533 MHz, CPU processing performance is 960 MIPS and floating-point processing unit (FPU) processing performance is 3.73 GFLOPS (giga [billion] floating-point operations per second). This ample processing power enables developers to build systems delivering high performance. The instruction set is upward-compatible with the SH-4, so programs developed for existing systems using the SH-4 can be reused. This contributes to a shorter system development time.
As with the SH77721 and SH77722, which preceded it in the SH-Navi Series, the SH7777 has an on-chip 2-D/3-D graphics processor with sophisticated rendering functions. In addition to 2-D rendering functions such as thick line rendering and anti-aliasing, it realized more spatial and real 3-D rendering by enhancing a variety of 3-D rendering functions such as triangle 3-D rendering and texture mapping, making means of expression like multi-texture, etc., possible.
A highly expressive GUI combining 2-D content such as maps, icons, and menus can be combined with 3-D content such as buildings or landmarks superimposed on the maps, using a single rendering processor. To extract the maximum performance from the graphics processor, high-performance 3-D and 2-D graphics libraries are provided. The 3-D graphics library supports OpenGL ES1.1, the industry standard, for maximum convenience in making use of the rendering functions supported by the graphics processor. The 2-D graphics library complies with the GDI-Sub specification, which supports Windows Automotive 5.0 Service Pack 2, from Microsoft Corporation.
A unified memory architecture is also used that enables modules to share the same memory, thereby reducing the need for external memory. The external buses provided are a 32-bit dedicated bus for connection of high-speed DDR2-SDRAM and a 16-bit expansion bus for connection of flash memory or SRAM.
The E10A-USB emulator, which connects to a host PC via a USB interface, is available as a development tool. There is also an on-chip debugging function that supports real-time debugging at the SoC's maximum operating frequency.

The age-old debate of rest vs. rhythm is in play this week as Sounders FC hosts the Portland Timbers on Sunday at CenturyLink Field.
"When you're playing games you get into a rhythm of playing and that's a good thing," Seattle Head Coach Sigi Schmid said after training on Wednesday. "I think our guys would have much rather played a game tonight than had a hard training."
While Seattle was at home relaxing on Wednesday ahead of a day off on Thursday, the Timbers were engaged in combat with Real Salt Lake at JELD-WEN Field.
With both teams missing key players and Salt Lake playing down a man for the final 11 minutes, RSL rallied back with a stoppage-time equalizer to steal a 3-3 draw in what was an up-and-down match for both sides.
Portland got out to an early lead on a goal from Rodney Wallace, but Salt Lake would take a 2-1 lead before halftime on a tap-in by Nat Borchers and a Javier Morales penalty. Just before the halftime whistle, the Timbers were dealt a blow when midfielder Diego Chara was cautioned for a bad foul, giving him five yellow cards for the season and a suspension for accumulation for Sunday's match in Seattle.
"He covers as much ground as anyone in the league," Schmid said of Chara on Wednesday. "I don't think there's a blade of grass or (turf) that he doesn't touch in a game. His ability to get up and down, get around the field is pretty impressive."
The Timbers equalized in the 57th minute with a Diego Valeri penalty, then took a man-advantage when Yordany Alvarez was ejected for a hard tackle in the 79th minute. While Salt Lake bunkered in to play for a draw, Kalif Alhassan found open space in the box and pounced on a shot to take a 3-2 lead.
That set the stage for Cole Grossman to score his first MLS goal, knocking in a loose ball from 16 yards out to equalize in stoppage time.
"In the end, we're disappointed, but we don't have time to be too disappointed," Timbers Head Coach Caleb Porter said. "We have a big game on Sunday. I told the guys there's some things we need to address, but mostly we need to put it behind us quickly and get to work on Seattle. We can't have a hangover in this tight of a window. Psychologically we need to move on quickly, get ready for Seattle."
While Salt Lake was playing without Alvaro Saborio, Kyle Beckerman and Nick Rimando, the Timbers had several absences for injuries, as well. Will Johnson and Jack Jewsbury were both out of the lineup for Caleb Porter with injuries. Both Johnson (scapular contusion) and Jewsbury (left ankle) were listed as questionable on the pre-match notes.
The draw leaves Portland with 39 points at 9-3-12 and Salt Lake remains atop the West at 12-8-6. Seattle is just five points behind Portland and eight points behind Real Salt Lake. Sounders FC has two games in hand on the Timbers and four in hand on RSL.

by John Kmiecik | February 21, 2013 7:30 am
Many investors consider a stock reaching five-year highs a special occasion, but where it goes from there can be a really special event — especially if the investor is bullish.
The following covered call trade idea focuses on a stock that is doing just that: flirting with its long-time highs.
Banking giant JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM[1]) is well-known by many people and is generally regarded well by many analysts. The bank suffered last spring amid the "London Whale" incident[2], but it has since recovered and actually moved higher than where it was trading before the monster loss was revealed.
Click to Enlarge As mentioned earlier, JPM is looking to make a new five-year high and recently broke through resistance (several previous pivot highs) right around $48. The next area of resistance JPMorgan might face will be around $52, which was a pivot high set back in early 2007.
Example: Buy 100 shares of JPM @ $48.61 and sell the March 50 call @ 44 cents.
Cost of the stock: 100 X 48.61 = $4,861 debit.
Premium received: 100 X 0.44 = $44 credit.
Maximum profit: $183 — that's $139 (50 – 48.61 X 100) from the stock and $44 from the premium received if JPM finishes at or above $50 @ March expiration.
Breakeven: If JPM finishes at $48.17 (48.61 – 0.44) @ March expiration.
Maximum loss: $4,817, which occurs in the unlikely event that JPM goes to $0 @ March expiration.
The maximum profit potential for this covered call strategy is for JPM to just rise up to the sold call's strike price ($50) by March expiration next month. The stock moves up the maximum amount without being called away and profits are enjoyed on the shares and the option premium. The process can be duplicated for the next expiration if so desired using either the same 50 strike if the outlook on the stock or market is neutral, or a higher strike if the outlook continues to be slightly bullish.
If JPM rises faster than anticipated before March expiration, the 50 strike call option can be bought back and a higher strike with a March or later expiration can be sold against the position to avoid assignment. This will allow the stock to remain in the portfolio and also give the position a chance to increase its return especially if stock moves higher.
The breakeven point of this trade is just above support at the $48 area (previous resistance), which should help the stock from falling. If the upward trend doesn't continue and the stock drops in price more than was anticipated, it might make sense to close out the entire trade (stock and short call) to avoid further losses.
As of this writing, John Kmiecik did not hold a position in any of the aforementioned securities.

Maybe. Maybe not.
What *exactly* do you get for the annual subscription that you
can't get on a 3 month subscription? You might want to try it
for 3 months, or take one of their free-trial offers, just to see
what you're getting.
Back when they offered each new database free for 21 days, I
rarely found anything on those that was useful.
The on-line census indices, which I access via a local library's
subscription, has given a reference on about 50% of the names I'm
hunting (given name + surname combo). It has missed a few because
someone misread the name or mistyped it, or something. The
search I did for someone in TN turned up negative, but I have yet
to discover whether the family wasn't in TN or if the database is
wrong. (g)
The databases appear to be heavily New England. There isn't much
in there, other than the census, for Virginia, Maryland, or
Georgia. The Blue'n'Gray stuff isn't impressive, there are
several MUCH better sites with an easier payment plan, including
several that are flat-out free.
But -- all that is from at least two years ago; abt 2 years ago I
quit going there monthly and sometime between then and now they
seem to have eliminated the freebies.
Bottom line? Yeah, you may regret spending the money, but then
again, you may also regret NOT spending it. Hard for anyone else
to say.

CEL modules claim best-in-class ZigBee performance
Post a comment
California Eastern Laboratories (CEL) recently announced sample availability of its MeshConnect EM357 Mini Modules, which are built around the EM357 ZigBee chip from Ember Corporation. Applications include energy management, smart home, LED lighting, and machine-to-machine applications.
The EM357 SoC IC consists of an RF transceiver with a baseband modem, a hard-wired MAC and an embedded 32-bit ARM® Cortex -M3 microcontroller with internal RAM (12kB) and flash (192kB) memory. It provides numerous general-purpose I/O pins and peripheral functions such as timers and UARTs enabling customers to access its rich mix of on-chip functionality. The high-power modules provide a market leading +123 dB link budget and run using the EmberZNet PRO ZigBee stack.
A striking feature of this module is that the high-power (+20dBm) and low-power (+8dBm) versions of the chip have the same footprint. In addition, the CEL module features the smallest footprint of all Ember-based modules today. Rich Howell, director of business development at CEL, tells me that this makes the module comparable with discrete solutions for designs with tight space-constraints.
