WASHINGTON (AP) - John Schoof scored 16 points to help American to a 59-50 victory over Colgate in a Patriot League quarterfinal Wednesday night.
Tony Wroblicky added 14 points and 10 rebounds, and contributed a pair of late dunks to ensure the second-seeded Eagles (18-12) will host third-seeded Holy Cross in a semifinal Saturday.
Darius Gardner added 12 points for American, who won at seventh seed Colgate on Jan. 11 before losing at home to the Raiders (13-18) four weeks later.
Murphy Burnatkowski scored 15 points for Colgate, which saw its win streak snapped at four in a season-ending defeat.
Austin Tillotson and Damon Sherman-Newsome each added 10 points as the Raiders failed to come back after American assembled an 18-0 first-half run to lead by as many as 17.
Colgate shot just 50 percent (9 of 18) while tying season-lows for points in a game and in a first half.

Contact Info / Websites
I was talking to him online and he threw a baby picture at me after a long time trying to convince him to. It's no wonder he hasn't made his baby visually public:
First off,
I'd like to thank people for such a positive response from most people. I have to admit, i didn't think this movie would do well at all on this site. For the simple fact that it's very short, and is a bit slow to reach such a simple punch-line. Whatever the case, you guys surpassed my expectations. But the best part is, those few people who were bound to be offended by my ridiculous cartoon. They always leave interesting reviews. They're funny.
The most populated country in the world can now share all the love, creativity, art, collaborative efforts, and dick jokes as one. This is a big step for Newgrounds, but more importantly, Chinese history!
First off,
I'd like to thank those who helped out my little starting business by purchasing the "One Shot" comic book collaborative project.
However, It's felt a little mysterious. I guess I'm used to the Newgrounds system in that I instantly receive feedback through reviews. I would like for those who purchased to write a review of it. Give me an idea of what you thought as a first issue for ODD Comics. This way I can make sure the next one is better.
So go ahead, spill the beans below.
Check it out! It's done! Finished! Complete! And ready for you to get your hands on them while supplies last!

Reviews have spilled! Artists all over say "YOU GOT ONE SHOT TO GET 'ONE SHOT'!"
read the following!
"I never thought it'd be the day I'd find so many artists all surpass me in every art skill I contain in just one book. I'm gonna off myself, Mates!"
-Adam Philips
"I didn't think that German Fag would actually finish, Mate."
-Ross O'Donnavan
"boo. no entiendo el ingles."
"I'm buying one cause I want to have the pleasure of shooting something as close to inhumanly cool as this."
"fuck off Hans"
'One Shot' is ODD Comics' first issue. It is a collaborative piece involving over 20 artists, most of them from the Newgrounds community. I just finished sending each artist who contributed [and provided me their mailing info] their own free copy and send a box-load of them to Tom Fulp to sell in the NG store.
This box contains the first 50 copies of the first issue, each of these 50 stamped with the ODD Comics seal in black ink by hand. I put lots of care into these things, put them in plastic, stamped the protective cardboard, slipped it in, taped it shut. multiply that process by 100. I'm very excited and thankful for Tom's generous help with these comics. We'll all see where this goes.

Games: Castle Crashers, Halo 2, Left 4 Dead, Elder Scrolls Oblivion.
befriend me xbox-wise and feel free to kick my ass.
Hi everyone!
-Let me start off by saying [that i really like your form] that I haven't been online this week because I'm in the middle of moving. Moving from Emeryville (Pixar Land) to Kensington, just north of Berkeley California. It's a really nice place and i love the neighborhood. So I've been scrambling about moving stuff left and right. And I am really happy to have been chosen for this. It's a fun opportunity.
-Second, I finally own an Xbox 360. A Nintendo 64 is awesome, don't get me wrong. But after having only that for basically 2 years, and playing it on a shitty little flickery fuzzy screen... it gets old. I bought myself a nice 20 incher and my Xbox 360 and a copy of Left 4 Dead which I find to be a very special game. Simply because it's right on the edge of being plain repetitive, but isn't. I'll review that fully later.
-In other news, Tom made me a Judge for the 2008 NG Tank Awards, just in case you didn't catch that. So I'm dissecting away at all the nominations. Also, thanks to whoever wrote my description in the Judge list. :3 whatta shwell guy.
-Best for Last! I received the 100 copies of 'One Shot' Comic books, and with some of the corrections I made, they look sweller than ever. I even bought plastic cases and cardboard fillers so that the issue you buy will be clean, crisp, and in tact.
I have an idea of making an official stamp to press on the back of the cardboard inside the plastic making an "Odd Comics Seal of Original Print" logo. Tell me what you guys think. Would that be a good idea? It would require waiting a bit more to buy in the store because I need to make the stamp. But it could be a really cool addition to your purchase.
Here's a picture of me being glorified by the Godly aura of the box full of books:
"Good-bye Great Britain, Hello San Fag-cisco."
That's right, I arrived yesterday from what has to be a fantastic week of my life. Every London Meet just gets better and better. Thanks Lu. As totally fucking sweet it was hanging out with some old NGers (or N****rs), I have to say it was equally cool meeting new friends. It was a fun mixture of drinking, brainstorming, drawing, walking, drinking, talking, and Newgrounds. But what else is new with the NG meet-ups?
Most of the staff I had already seen at comic con, briefly though. Tim and Rob were two n00bies to my 'list of people I know' library. Although I didn't get to spend as much time with Tim (besides watching shape movies in Luis' bedroom), Rob I got to talk to quite a bit, and I can say he's the definition of 'Cool Person'. So being that he's the newest edition to the NG staff from what I recollect, let's give him a nice uber delayed welcome.
One of my favorite nights was the Karayoke Bar. Not only did we get to experience Tom Fulp shake his ass for Luka's camera to a funky song I can't remember the name of now, but I managed to make an ass of myself and Butcher the o' so glorious song 'Piano Man' by Billy Joel.
It was really hard for me to say good-bye that last day, after spending some time at the sports bar in the very loud Eagles/Cardinals game, Me, Nogfish, Sqeezy, Tom Vian, Rob, NegativeOne, Luis' sister and a couple others headed out for a more quiet pub and I had my last drink before meeting up with my uncle. It's hard saying good-bye to such good people. Especially when I know coming back home to California I got no friends waiting.
The day before I left I walked all around London, and I mean ALL around. It was beautiful, I sure am going to miss that place. Now I'm back home, and I've decided to have fresh start. Today is my new year, the 'official' start of it at least. A number of things really. My family and I are moving to a new house, not a small crammed apartment, a decent one in Berkeley. I'm getting this Comic book thing going because Tom Fulp gave me the green light on selling them in the NG store. I'm getting a new job, and a handful of projects.
And to really give myself a 'fresh start' feeling. I shaved my head.
oh btw, my old header with jesus tearing himself out of the cross was all sarcasm, I'm not really religious.
Hello people,
Calling from London! Just dropping off a message that Tom Mogly pinched me nipple last night. The following picture consists of Hans' nipple and Tom Mogly's fancy fingers.
Let me know how fetishy it is.
-Hans :3
p.s. our flat is purple.

how to run this cron job
Hi all,
I have the below cron job and it ran as follow:
[sde@test MYDATA]$ ./compress_test.sh
ArcSDE 8.3 Build 284 Thu Jul 17 14:55:03 PDT 2003
Version Administration Utility
Compress state tree: Are you sure? (Y/N):
the question is "how can you implement the Y in the option above so your job can run as schedule time???"
You should be able to use the "yes" command for this:
yes | ./compress_test.sh
If your script won't accept a lowercase y:
yes Y | ./compress_test.sh
Keep in mind that the yes command will keep on feeding "y"s to your program if it does
any more reads.
thanks for your input.
this is what I would like to do:
schedule this script into the cronjob so it can run every night
1. how can you build what you suggest along with the cron job I have in the cron tab???
2. one more favor from you, how can you trace the statistics of the job into the log file so that we will know if the job running succesfully or not????
thanks so much
Run the command:
crontab -e
as the user you want the script to run as. This opens up your crontab in vi; hopefully you have the vi basics down.
You want the following to appear in your crontab:
0 1 * * * cd /path/to/MYDATA && yes | /path/to/compress_test.sh &> /path/to/"$(date --iso).compress.log"
(It should be all be on one line.)
Adjust the "/paths/to"s accordingly; they don't necessarily have to be the same. This will run it at 1:00 a.m. every night; see man crontab to adjust this. The log files will contain whatever your program outputs. The log files are prepended by the date so it won't overwrite previous nights runs and so they sort by increasing date when listed.
ok so confused and my cron job doesn't work.
below is what I have in my cronjob save as compress_test.sh
export ORACLE_SID
export SDEHOME
$SDEHOME/bin/sdeversion -o compress -i esri_sde -u sde -p sde
--save this script and compress_test.sh
--change the permission so the user can execute
--I did run the script manually and it ran successfully
so now I ready to put this scripts into the cron job as follow:
10 10 * * * cd /home/sde/stuffs/scripts/mytest/ && yes | /home/sde/stuffs/scripts/mytest/compress_test.sh
and I got the below error on the mail
X-Cron-Env: <SHELL=/bin/sh>
X-Cron-Env: <HOME=/home/sde>
X-Cron-Env: <PATH=/usr/bin:/bin>
X-Cron-Env: <LOGNAME=sde>
/home/sde/sdeexe83/bin/sdeversion: error while loading shared libraries: libsde83.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
My first guess is the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable isn't in the environment set up by cron to run your script.
What to do:
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable adds places to search for shared objects (also known as dynamically linked libraries).

Small Individual parties providing Freight services and providing normal invoice(no ST bifurcation) who don't have consignment note. As a company (a service receiver) required to pay ST at 30% under RCM. Such service amount above 30000/- p.mAdd to favorites
Incase of RCM there is no basic money limit.
Consignment Note is a essential element for becoming eligible for transporter definition and to become eligible for claiming abatement.
During service tax assessment it may create a problem for assessee to proof it's abatement claim if no consignment note is provided.
Thank you Sharma Sir,
One of my client A receiving GTA service & not paying ST under RCM @30% saying since party is individual they does not have consignment note (party providing one small printed paper as invoice).
One of other client B paying ST @30% even-though party is individual who provides small paper as invoice.
Pls reply me whether ST required to pay if party gives you only small printed paper as invoice.

Dave Chisnall was left rueing missed chances once again in his televised defeat to Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
The Morecambe-based arrows ace lost 7-5 to the 16-times world champion despite hitting seven 180s.
Chisnall's defeat last night in Nottingham leaves him lying joint eighth with Taylor in the Betway Premier League table after six games with just one victory, his opening week win over Robert Thornton.
And as in recent matches with Raymond van Barneveld, Michael van Gerwen and Gary Anderson, Chisnall played well but could not find the killer touch when it mattered.
Taylor, himself searching for only his second win after a poor start to the season, won a nervy opening leg by landing double 16 at the fifth time of asking.
Chisnall posted two 180s before landing double ten to level but 'The Power' responded with a 12-darter and then a 97 finish to move two legs clear.
'Chizzy' pulled it back to 2-3 and then wired two darts at double 18 allowing Taylor to pull 4-2 ahead, but the Morecambe man levelled the match in impressive style after a near-miss on a 170 checkout, then a 180 and double top finish.
After the two men traded the next two legs, Morecambe's world number five looked poised to win the match at 5-5 after powering home two 180s.
But 'Chizzy' missed double eight and 16, and Taylor landed double 16 to move 6-5 ahead.
And 'The Power' broke Dave's heart in the final leg. Despite Chisnall's seventh 180 in the match, he missed the bull to claim a draw and Taylor kept his composure to pin double 16 for the match.
Afterwards, Taylor's joy was obvious as many experts had written him off after his recent fall in form.
"I know my form is picking up and this is great for my confidence," said Taylor. "Dave played well and hit some great 180s but missed a couple of doubles there in the last leg and let me in."
In other results, Peter Wright stayed top of the table after a 7-4 triumph over Simon Whitlock who remains bottom, reigning champ Michael van Gerwen routed Wes Newton 7-1, Adrian Lewis edged Gary Anderson 7-5, and Raymond van Barneveld and Robert Thornton shared the spoils 6-6.
The Betway Premier League Darts continues next Thursday with the seventh league night to be held at the new First Direct Arena in Leeds, with a crowd of up to 11,000 set to welcome the tournament to the city for the first time.
Chisnall will play Aussie Simon Whitlock.
As always the matches will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Schedule; Points Table; Guide; Photos
A foul from Ishfaq Ahmed on Jan Stohanzl earned the hosts a free kick in the 44th minute and Anelka was quick to capitalise. The former Chelsea star's strike curled above the defensive wall to the left post with a helpless goalkeeper, Sandip Nandy, diving in a desperate attempt.
Anelka, who had missed the first three matches due to suspension, showed his class and also earned the much needed three points for his side.
The hosts looked like a new side in the second half, rejuvenated by their one goal lead. They attacked well, seemed eager to add a few more goals to their tally and came close to achieving it a few times.
Mumbai had the chance to double the lead in the 58th minute when Stohanzl skied the shot and frittered away the golden opportunity. Indian forward Subash Singh was also guilty of missing a sitter in the 74th minute.
Anelka did everything right to beat the three defenders and feed the ball to Singh who shot it over the cross bar. Anelka seemed desperate to make up for the lost matches and the French striker came close to adding to his tally by going solo in the 86th minute and the goalkeeper blocked it.
Moritz found the ball on the rebound but couldn't slot it home. The 35-year old had another opportunity a minute later but Moritz squandered the chance inside of the box and went wide.
The hosts looked to increase their lead even in the dying moments of the game when Nadong Bhutia hit the top bar, a few seconds before the close of the match.

"Why fit in, when you were born to stand out"
– Anna Wintour –
This past weekend on 17 September 2016, I attended the 2nd annual "Fashion for Brunch" hosted by the ladies of Mafashio. Having arrived a little bit late, I was excited but a little nervous to speak on the ice breaker questions right off the cuff. Was I stylish or fashionable enough for this group of cool edgy fashionistas? But quickly I realised they are real.
Cool yes.
Stylish yes.
Even edgy…oh hell yes!
But real enough to recognise the beauty in our uniqueness and eccentricity. Bloggers celebrate difference and this group was slightly different from last year, but just as ambitious, just as knowledgeable and just as creative.
I am gonna share some more sights from the Brunch, but wont go into detail because the nitty gritty of the event has bèen covered vastly by others. Check out other posts on the Vodafone-JUMP platform. As well as Chilo's and NizaMaria's posts on the same.
Am gonna end by saying, It will be a great year for bloggers and you are likely to see more collaborations soon.
Photography is a mix of Images from Kwitu's Kabelenga, Rain photography's Zhivu and my Samsung A5 phone.

Pharrell Williams has another reason to be happy!

"This is going to be so fun," Williams posted to his own Twitter account as a reply to the announcement.
Williams, 40, was welcomed to the singing competition via Twitter by PEOPLE's Sexiest Man Alive, Adam Levine.
"@Pharrell Welcome to the circus dude!" he wrote.
Usher joined the online welcome, writing, "Congratulations to my brother @Pharrell for joining #TheVoice as a new judge on Season 7. RT to show my boy some love! #Happy"
In addition to Levine and Usher, season 6 coaches include Blake Shelton and Shakira.
No word as to whether Christina Aguilera will return to the show next season. The pop star is expecting with her second child – a girl! – and got engaged to Matt Rutler in February.

Melbourne, Nov. 22 (ANI): Former Australian leg spinner Shane Warne has nominated Michael Clarke as his 'bunny' for tonight's All Stars Twenty20 match.
As preparations go, Warne has done no bowling, plenty of fitness work and sledged Clarke.
"I've been calling Clarkey 'Daryll' (as in Cullinan). He's my new bunny," the Daily Telegraph quoted Warne, as saying.
Clarke will lead an Australian XI at the Gabba tonight against Warne's All Stars, who boast Adam Gilchrist, Matt Hayden and Glenn McGrath.
Also in Warne's side are Victorian batsman Brad Hodge and Redbacks skipper Graham Manou, who made his Test debut on the Ashes tour.
The 40-year-old said he was edgy in the lead-up, fearful the likes of Clarke, David Warner and Cameron White might belt him around the park.
"I'm a bit nervous," Warne said. "I'm really fit at the moment, 88 kilos and training hard, but I don't bowl at all now. I haven't bowled a ball to get ready for this game. I'll bowl a few today (Saturday) to see how they come out and loosen the shoulder up."
Warne's primary cricket role these days is as captain-coach of the Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League. "I've loved my role in the IPL. I've been able to prepare for, and play, cricket the way I think it should be," he said.
"I'm a big believer in free time, not sitting around endlessly in rooms in meetings the way things were under Buck (John Buchanan) towards the end of my career. No one was happy. That's the way cricket and sport is going. Endless boring meetings."
"In the early days, under AB (Allan Border) and Tubby (Mark Taylor) we'd train and there were some essential team things but no endless meetings and no computers. It was all cricket and we'd talk about it over a beer and while playing golf, not sitting around in rooms for years and years."
"You need these three things to be ready - feel fresh, happy and prepared to play." (ANI)

Wilco played the first (and driest) of its two shows at Central Park SummerStage last night. Since the Brooklyn Flea handles the food and beer concessions, we get to watch things from up close. Here's a fun clip from the band's opening number "Art of Almost." We're going back tonight, but with foul weather gear in hand!
Greetings From The Big Island
If you've noticed fewer posts from us over the last day and half it's because we've been trying to be on vacation. We say "trying" because Northwest Airlines did its best to sabotage out trip to Hawaii for Mrs. B's best friend's wedding, but despite missed connections and lost luggage, we finally made it to the big island yesterday in time to enjoy this sunset with drink in hand. Don't worry, though, we've been wearing our Clinton Hill baseball hat with pride.

Hartlepool, United Kingdom (PressExposure) May 28, 2009 -- Bulgaria is becoming more popular with British buyers, according to the first quarter results revealed by major UK portal Property Abroad.com.
Bulgaria grew into one of the most popular destinations during 2006 and stayed in the top group for 2007, but its popularity began to wean when over-supply became a problem in the popular areas.
Now its popularity is growing again, from 9th most popular in the first quarter of last year to 8th most popular in the 1st quarter of this year.
"Not a major jump by any stretch of the imagination, but for us, immersed in the industry, watching and reading the negative press about Bulgaria and seeing thousands of British buyers rushing to sell-up, this is quite a pleasant surprise for us," said Les Calvert, Property Abroad director.
"The rise can be attributed to Bulgaria's economic performance: Bulgaria is now one of only four EU member states forecast to avoid recession this year, and forecast to do so in the most impressive way; strong growth with a firm handle on the budget deficit. That and the low-prices of course." emerging markets analyst Julie Liddle chimed in.
Property Abroad is currently advertising hundreds of properties for sale in Bulgaria, resale and off plan, with both available from under £10,000. The portal is also advertising properties for rent in Bulgaria.

Lyme Ambulance is yet another reason to love living in Lyme. It is one of New England's few remaining "no-cost to the patient" emergency & basic-care ambulance services… which means patients never have to hesitate.

Since our beginning 40 years ago in 1975, our proud volunteers have answered more than 5,000 calls. Forother ambulance associations, that's over $2.5 million in fees.

Well, I just made a test call. It didn't record (unless I did something stupid). I'm using franco's kernel with AOKP B31. Call Recorder was granted super user permissions before and after call, but no call recording appeared.
Can you suggest a good kernel?
EDIT: Still doesn't work at all. The notification pops up but does not record any calls. Tried with alsa as well as kernel recording. Nothing works.
I'm afraid # means that the line is commented out (i.e., doesn't matter). Having this, each line is <variable><TABS><value>, where variable is the name of the control you're setting, and TABS is one or more tab (0x9) characters. Please mind that the spaces are not trimmed, because I was too lazy to fix that, sorry...
He is probably wondering, why is 'TWL6040 Power Mode' not set to High-Performance in /data/data/com.skvalex.callrecorder/files/live.cfg file, since he changed the value with sklavex Alsa Mixer app. Well it is because Alsa Mixer app doesn't know nothing about Call Recorder, therefore it won't touch anything in it's directory.

Part of the second stage of the Spinal Basics Warmup is the Squat Flow.
Muscularly this exercises goal is to stretch the adductor muscles of the leg, the hamstrings, and the gluteal muscles. The major joints are the hip sockets, secondary joints are the knees and the tertiary joints are the ankles. Neurologically squat flow is increasing proprioception and helping to increase balance and coordination, too.
The athlete stands in a wide stance. The stance should be wider than a sumo dead lift stance. The athlete allows one knee to track anteriorly over the same foot. The weight is maintained on the heel with the head over the pelvis or the head may be BARELY forward of the pelvis. This position is held for 3-5 seconds. The other leg should feel the stretch in the inner thigh. The athlete reverses the knee direction while standing up to the same wide stance. Next the athlete does a wide stance squat. The buttocks has to track back and down to get a good stretch of the hip joints. The athlete should hit a mechanical end to the squat in the hips because of the wide stance. The athlete holds the squat for 3-5 seconds. Next the athlete stands maintaining the wide stance and goes the opposite direction by allowing the other knee to teach forward. The athlete goes back and forth from side to side with a squat between until they feel their hip sockets open up and their inner thighs are released.

Thousands of Spaniards demonstrated Sunday in central Madrid against austerity measures that a new poll showed has dented the support for the Socialist government of Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero.
As many as 15,000 people joined the march against the belt-tightening measures worth 15 billion euros (18.6 billion dollars) that Zapatero announced in a new bid to shore up Spain's public finances after stocks plunged over fears it could follow Greece into a debt crisis.
Police put turnout at the demonstration, called by unions and non-governmental organisations, at around 5,000 people.
The new austerity plan triggered a nine-point plunge in the support for Zapatero's Socialists, which would take only 33.7 percent of votes against 42.8 percent for the opposition conservative Popular Party, according to a poll published Sunday in El Pais.
Zapatero's new austerity plan includes a five-percent pay cut for public sector workers from June, and a pay freeze from 2011. Pensions except for the poorest will also be frozen in 2011.
The poll found that Spaniards approve of the pay cut for public workers, but two-thirds opposed the pension freeze, and three-quarters thought the measures will be insufficient to get Spain out of its crisis.
The cuts are on top of a 50-billion-euro austerity package announced in January designed to slash public deficit to the eurozone limit of three percent of GDP by 2013 from 11.2 percent last year.
El Pais did not say on what dates nor how many people were questioned in the poll conducted by the Metroscopia firm.

Pearl doesn't mean to be a troublemaker. Trouble just seems to find her.
Pearl Petal and Ben Silverstein can't wait for their first official day as apprentices of Dr. Woo, veterinarian for imaginary creatures. That is, until they are tasked with clipping the sasquatch's toenails. Gross!
Then Pearl spots a monster in the lake behind the hospital. Even though they were told not to leave the building for any reason, Pearl sets off for a closer look, with Ben trailing cautiously behind.
The outing goes awry when Ben is captured by the creature and held hostage on an island in the middle of the lake. It's up to Pearl to hatch a rescue mission. Will she save the day or cement her reputation as the town troublemaker? And will the hospital's secret patient be able to help?
In this fun-filled series, Suzanne Selfors takes listeners on an incredible adventure filled with mythical creatures and astonishing discoveries that are anything but imaginary.

Worth a listen for children
My grandchildren, girls 8 & 12, listened intently to the book while we were traveling during our family vacation. I enjoyed the book also although probably would not have been a personal choice without the children. The story kept the girls interest and they eagerly asked for it to be resumed after traveling breaks.
I recommend it for children. Although fictional it is not stupid and has a good plot overall.

40 Year Old Swimming Pool To be Sunk
12:43pm 3rd July 2013
Demolition work has begun on a swimming pool that's been in Dorchester for around 40 years.
The Swimming Pool building at Thomas Hardye School hasn't been used since the new Dorchester Sports Centre opened last October.
It's now in a bad state of repair.
It was built sometime in the 1970's and contains a four lane pool and a smaller pool. The new centre next door contains a six-lane pool.
Yesterday (2nd July) work began to remove the building and the school told us there are no plans for any structures to go in it's place. We spoke to Tony Day, from Hardye's who said that perhaps a grass area or parking spaces may be put there instead.
The Old School Sports centre will be refurbished once the swimming building has been demolished.
The structure is set to be completely removed by early September this year.

Ric was asked to Direct a series of spots with a fast turn-around to highlight the creation of NBC The Voice's top 4 talent's music videos, sponsored by Chase's Freedom Unlimited card: Adam Wakefield, Alison Porter,Hannah Huston, and Laithe Al-Saadi.
With extreme deference to the the other production team creating the music videos, Ric was able to create unique pieces that stand alone and share the personality and excitement of the different musical artists, while getting us excited about seeing the final product.
Check them all out here:
I'm not gonna lie… my husband is a REALLY talented guy.
His lifestyle pieces go beyond honest and thoughtful; they make you want to be there.
It probably stems from from the fact that he truly cares about his subjects (whether it's a person, a product or a place) and will spend countless hours figuring out the best ways to tell their story (on budget and in time) in a unique way.
That's why I was thrilled (and thought him the obvious choice) to be tapped as Director for Esquire Network's MANMADE pieces.
Sharing other artisans' stories… it's obviously his passion as he's created several award-winning shorts as personal projects. Check out his Ahrtuh-zen pieces: Dave Lefner and Jeremy Thomas where he explores the process behind their art and CZAPPA: a discussion about what it takes for one man to be an artist. In each of these pieces, like in MANMADE, the artist and their work helps dictate the story. Layering stills to show linocut in Lefner, using the deliberate pacing of the artisan and his craft in Thomas, and building stop motion segments to honor the builder in CZAPPA.
True, the MANMADE spots were different as each piece had to meet client needs as well as tell the story, but that's also what makes them so great. To create compelling, creative stories in a quick, commercial environment, now that's special. Ric is able to help these artisans share their craft and present them all in unique ways – just like the artists they're portraying.
I know I'm biased. I not only get to see the beautiful end product, but also all the time, care and expertise Ric puts into each project – for the client, the subjects, and the creative team working with him.
…and maybe it's just me, but I think it shows.
MANMADE: RISING SUN: Brought to you by Esquire Network & Samuel Adams, this sixty second on-air spot features Mike Hodis, owner and designer of Rising Sun & Co, as he discusses the importance of craftsmanship.
MANMADE: DEUS: Brought to you by Esquire Network & Samuel Adams, this sixty second on-air spot features Michael Woolaway, Design Director at Deus Ex Machina, as he discusses the importance of craftsmanship.

Truly honored to have Nora Germain – jazz violinist – and already a sensation at the age of 23 ask me to shoot her portraits. She's hip, yet grounded and wanted to get a range of images to showcase her versatility. Youth, talent and style all in one package.
It was a quick session, but we managed to capture 4 setups and 3 different looks. She's such a natural beauty that we didn't want to go extreme with any of the processing or setups, but wanted to share her youthful vibrance with bold color, her sleek style with bright white, her natural easy-going nature with an outdoor setting and the classical stage vibe to harken back to her intense training and serious passion for her art.
(Side note: I was stoked to finally paint a wall in my studio for a session. So far, we've brought in backdrops that have sufficed, but this time I went for a bold purple wall that rocked. I fell in love with the stage setup so much that I ended up using it for a later shoot with Stephnie Weir for her 1-woman show poster image. More on that zany and awesome project later! )
Read more about Nora and give her a listen here. If you haven't heard of her, no doubt you soon will.

There are these amazing moments when capturing someone's personality, or trying out new ideas, when everything is working, and you just don't want to stop shooting.
This happened when I got the chance to photograph KOTOMI recently.
(This also makes it SO difficult to edit down your selects.)
When listening to her music, I realized that she is able to be both transcendent and approachable, synthetic and earthy, and this beautiful blend works throughout her music. Hoping to capture those different sides, we ran around on-location and in-studio to bring out her vibe. I still believe that the images could use more layering – as is shown in her music – but I was so captivated by her presence in some of the shots, I didn't even do any post work on them.
Take a look, and a listen, and I think you'll be drawn in as well.
A little BTS note: All of the fog was captured in-camera: a great combo of luck and timing. And the flowers were quick snips from our garden pulled into a mesh headband. voila!

Passion projects are good for my soul. They challenge me. They keep me honest. They force me to be ultimately responsible for every decision that ends up on screen. And so it's these projects that I'm most proud of and want to represent who I am as an artist and storyteller. Two of my short documentaries on artists Dave Lefner & Jeremy Thomas continue to surprise me with the new audiences they're reaching.
Dave Lefner was chosen to have his work shown in the lobby of the Laemmle Royal Theater in Santa Monica as part of the Laemmle's Art in the ArtHouse series. For the duration of his three-month exhibition, my trailer for his documentary played in the lobby as well as a preview before their film screenings. And during the opening night event, the full documentary screened in one of their theaters. Dave Lefner's piece, with music by Quiet Lights, was also selected as one of the Vimeo Staff Picks.
And my piece on New Mexico sculptor, Jeremy Thomas, was invited to screen on the New Mexico PBS arts program, COLORES. In order to air the program, I had to have the film re-scored, so I reached out to friend and collaborator, Matt Bowen, to compose the new soundtrack. Together with percussionist, Jo Pusateri, and engineer, Will Hampton, they breathed new life into the documentary about inflating metal and polished what had been somewhat of an un-finished piece for three years prior.
And both pieces were responsible in my being chosen to direct a series of short documentaries for Esquire Networks. The short pieces, produced by Moving Parts, Inc., will hopefully be released this summer.
Someone once told me that instead of having the single that shoots to the top of the charts, he'd rather be the song that people continue to sing in shower years down the road. I like that thought.
And I like singing in the shower.

GNOME.org: Developer Interviews: Raph Levien, graphics hackerMay 25, 2000, 19:16 (0 Talkback[s])
WEBINAR: On-Demand
No-Size-Fits-All! An Application-Down Approach for Your Cloud Transformation REGISTER >
[ Thanks to S.Ramaswamy for this link. ]
"In this section, we'll be conducting short interviews with GNOME developers to put some faces to the names. Up first is Raph Levien, a Benicia, California hacker who's been central in the development of the GNOME graphics infrastructure, including libart, the GNOME canvas, GNOME Print and Gill."
"Q: So, what's the focus of your GNOME work at the moment?
A: Right now, I'm mostly working on Libart and an SVG renderer to get vector icons in Nautilus. Another major focus now is high quality inkjet drivers, which I am of course plan to integrate with GNOME Print. I keep my toe in the water for a fairly large number of GNOME things. There's a lot going on. I also devote a fair amount of time to Advogato, which is not a GNOME-specific project."
"Q: Where do you see GNOME going in the coming year, and what part are you going to play in it? What areas are going to be emphasized?
A: One of the more exciting directions is Pango, which will bring high quality text rendering in a variety of scripts to GNOME. GNOME is already pretty strong on internationalization, and I expect things to get even better. Owen and I discussed the Pango design a lot in the early days, but all the recent work has been his. I'd like to get back to it and make it do really fine typography (one of the original goals), but it's hard to find time to do all the things I'd like."

I find that this is a fairly common problem with Chinese writers (and perhaps with many writers translated from other languages - I don't know). It seems they are treated with too much reverence by their publishers, or that the mediation of the translator frees them from the strict control of an editor. It probably doesn't help here that Ma's translator is his wife, Flora Drew. Somebody really needed to tell him that this novel was massively self-indulgent and needed to be radically trimmed. There is no need at all to tell the whole of Dai Wei's life story (I suspect that Ma just had a lot of autobiographical sketches lying around that he wanted to get published somehow); in particular, the long account of his major undergraduate love affair and his frequent reminiscences about it during the Tiananmen days are tedious and pointless. The coma sections of the book could at least be drastically pruned (many of the accounts of the different treatments his mother tries out for him are rather repetitive, and seem to jumble the timeline). And the endless 'epigrams' - often seemingly just an excuse for the author to show off the arcane medical knowledge he has gleaned from his research, as he crafts obscure metaphors around bodily function at the cellular level - are just excruciatingly crass. And there are so many of them: really, there's one - sometimes more than one - on almost every page, so there are some hundreds of them in total.
My gravest misgiving of all concerns the final pages recounting what happened on the night of June 3rd/4th. There still seems to be some uncertainty and controversy over just how the clearing of the Square was accomplished, and whether there were any fatalities there. Dai Wei's recollection seems to suggest that, although there were casualties around the immediate approaches to the Square, the Square itself was cleared without gunfire; although he later also reports a rumour from a student fleeing from the direction of the Square early the next morning that there is a 'massacre' in progress of the handful of protesters still remaining there. This ambiguous massacre/no massacre account is very frustrating for readers hoping to find the truth of these events. It also suggests that perhaps in his 'no massacre' version Ma was following The Tiananmen Papers. This book, supposedly a translation of official Chinese government documents, is a detailed and persuasive narrative; but it is widely suspected that many of these documents were fabricated as part of a covert propaganda exercise to bolster the official Chinese line that Western media reports of the 'massacre' had been greatly exaggerated. Again, I would suggest that you can't incorporate a major historical tragedy like this into your fiction without some discussion of your sources.

Giulio Cesare Trailer (2005)
"Giulio Cesare (2005) Glyndebourne Festival Opera. Handel / Italian" 01 December 2005 Music 206 mins
David McVicar's production of Giulio Cesare manages to combine serious insight with entertainment, bringing Handel's masterpiece to life in a powerful, convincing and highly intelligent way. ln every line of the complex narrative the subtle nuances are apparent, reflecting perfectly the transparent and exquisite nature of Handel's musical expression. Filmed in High Definition and recorded in true surround sound, the outstanding singing of the all-star cast, led superbly by Sarah Connolly, and the vivid playing of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment under the energising baton of William Christie reveal the colour and dramatic character of Handel's music in a most delightful manner.

Why Does Indian Ocean Matter for IORA
Jakarta, IORA - A history is in the making through the first Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) Leaders' Summit which will be held in Jakarta on March 7 by Indonesia as its Chair as an effort to promote the importance of Indian Ocean to the global affairs.
Being the world's third largest ocean, the Indian Ocean is home to around 2.7 billion people who live in the states whose shores are washed by the Indian Ocean's waters.
They are divided into a number of sub-regions along the coast of the Indian Ocean such as Australasia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, Eastern Africa, and Southern Africa.
"Indian Ocean has a strategic role in the international trade. Therefore, the ocean should be secure and safe," Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affairs Retno Marsudi said during a final inspection on the IORA Summit's venue in the Jakarta Convention Center here on Saturday.
Although IORA will be celebrating its 20th anniversary in March 2017, as the current Chair of IORA, Indonesia will host the first ever IORA Leaders' Summit on March 7 in Jakarta under the theme "Strengthening Maritime Cooperation for a Peaceful, Stable, and Prosperous Indian Ocean".
The leaders'summit will be preceded by a Committee of Senior Officials' meeting on March 5 and a Council of Ministers' meeting on March 6.
It has been confirmed that representatives from all 21 member countries, seven dialogue partners, as well as 16 VVIPs will attend the summit.
The 16 VVIPs who have confirmed their attendance consist of five presidents, four vice presidents, four prime ministers, and three vice prime ministers.
South African President Jacob Zuma and Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena have been confirmed to attend the IORA Leaders Summit before paying a state visit to Indonesian President Joko Widodo in March 8.
The summit is expected to result in several outcome documents, including the IORA Concord, the IORA Action Plan, and the IORA Declaration on Countering Violent Extremism leading to Terrorism.
"Indonesia is trying to contribute by putting a strong foundation in the Indian Ocean through the IORA Concord," said Minister Marsudi who was accompanied by Minister/ State Secretary Pratikno, Minister of Trade Enggartiarto Lukita and Director General for Asia-Pacific and African Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Desra Percaya during the inspection to the venue.
The IORA Concord is expected to be a reference for IORA member states in dealing with the current global situation and challenge in the region.
Many expected the summit to be a game-changer for regional cooperation in the Indian Ocean.
"A push from the leaders is necessary so that IORA could run faster and responsive to maximize its potentials" Minister Marsudi noted.
Meanwhile, Minister of Trade Enggartiasto Lukita stated that IORA offers a huge economic potentials for the member states.
Although the economic discrepancy between the developed and under-developed member countries is very much visible, IORA would be a forum to work together and fill each other, Lukita said.
"It would be the first opportunity in which business leaders and state leaders meet in the same forum," Lukita said.
Around 300 company CEOs of the member countries have been confirmed to attend IORA Business Forum which will be held as a side event on March 6.
"The tariff and nontarrif barriers still become the challenges. Those are what we need to come in one mind," Lukita said.
Statistics shows that the intra-IORA trade in 2015 amounted US$ 777 billion, a 300 percent increase compared to that in the 1994's, which was only US$ 233 billion.
According to the World Investment Report figures for 2014, the total Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) inflows to IORA Member States amounted to US$ 229.7 million whilst outflows from IORA Member States amounted to a total of US$ 9.3 million.
IORA prioritizes several areas namely maritime safety and security, trade and investment facilitation, fisheries management, disaster risk management, academic, science and technology, tourism and cultural exchange, blue economy and gender empowerment.
Today, IORA is a dynamic organization of 21 Member States including Australia, Bangladesh, Comoros, India, Indonesia, Iran, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Mauritius, Mozambique, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Seychelles, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Thailand, and Yemen.
In addition, IORA also have seven dialogue partners, namely the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, Egypt, France and the People's Republic of China (PRC).
Meanwhile, Director General for Asia-Pacific and African Affairs of Ministry of Foreign Affairs Desra Percaya emphasized the importance of maintaining regional security in the Indian Ocean.
"During our strategic chairmanship, we don't want the Indian Ocean region to become a region in which major powers are fighting for power," Percaya said.
Therefore, the implementation of a good governance based on the 1982 United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea is essential, he said during a press briefing earlier on Thursday.
The Indian Ocean has become a world's major shipping route which accounts for 70 percent of world's traffic of petroleum products.
It is not to mention the fact that the ocean provides abundant marine and fishery potential.
Withdraing an imaginary line from the Indian sub-continent to the south, the Indian Ocean, therefore, is split into two distinctive characteristics which have different challenges.
In the east, the ocean is home to major natural disasters such as tsunami which had devastated regions in countries along the coast of the Indian Ocean in 2004.
The asylum seeker crisis has also become a challenge in the eastern part of the ocean.
Meanwhile, the western waters of Indian Ocean is affected by man-made disasters such as sea piracy and conflict in Yemen.
"We don't want Indian Ocean to get messy," Percaya said.
Therefore, it would be the opportunity for Indonesia to play its role since IORA constitutes a realization of Indonesian maritime diplomacy to back up the country's vision on becoming a maritime axis, Percaya said.
The IORA Leaders Summit will be opened by a Troika, Indonesia as the current IORA Chair by President Joko Widodo, South Africa as the vice as well as future Chair by President Jacob Zuma and Australia as the previous Chair by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
Through the Summit, Indonesia will underline the importance of connectivity to bridge and integrate the common interest and to improve cooperation between the states on the shores of the Indian Ocean.

Amberen?(9 Posts)
I've been taking Amberen for almost two months. They stopped my hot flushes overnight and I have not had any since. BUT today, I have got a period (last one was Nov 2011). It's not heavy so far.
I'm guessing that as Amberen is supposed to restore hormone levels to a pre-menopausal state that this is to be expected but I can't really find any reference to periods returning in the googling that I have done.
Anyone have any thoughts/experience with this?
Two months isn't all that long. You will still be adjusting.
Bumping for any other views?
I am going to say things that you might not like- warning
I am not a great fan of expensive products that are advertised as wonder treatments!
No product IMO not even traditional HRT will stop symptoms over night. In the peri phase your hormones are all over the shop- you can have flushes etc that come and go overnight for months. Some women don't even have any. What is more likely is that you are not yet post meno, you still have some estrogen ( as shown by your period) and it's nothing to do with Amberen.
I've had a look at the Amberen website and it raises lots of questions. If a product could reverse ageing without use of hormones then surely it would be available on the NHS or at least from menopause specialists?
They use a lot of scientific terms which TBH are meaningless to anyone without a degree in chemistry or biochemistry. BUT it's a very clever and cynical marketing ploy because it implies the products work.
They say they have done double blind trials but they don't publish any results such as whether the researchers are independent, or how many women were in the trials- this is crucial to all research as small numbers of subjects ( fewer than thousands) are meaningless.
The other point is that if Amberen was able to turn back the clock and put your hormones back to where they were, it would be a potentially dangerous supplement, with side effects potentially the same as HRT can be for some women.
The other point is that if you are over 50 now ( are you?) and have had a period after a 14 month gap, you ought to see your GP as this is classed as post menopausal bleeding and should be investigated. The usual advice is any bleeding 12 months after a 'final' period needs investigating.
Sorry if this sounds a bit negative- but best talk to your dr.
Oh my goodness yes definitely go to see your GP as Missbopeep says. I feel completely negligent - I assumed that amberen was HRT and misread 2011 as 2012.
Hermione You might find this useful to read.
I did a dig around for the research papers and I found an abstract of one- a summary. It said that a small group of women had taken the supplement for around 3 weeks and they had reported "subjective" improvement- this means it was not measured scientifically, but was women reporting how they felt- so the placebo effect could be very powerful.
It also mentioned they had more calcium in their bones- which is not surprising as one of the main ingredients is calcium! This is not the same as proving the women had better bone density though because bone turnover is very slow and is measured by a DEXA scan only every 2-3 years.
Hermoine, I registered on here just to reply to this as I have been looking for the same answer!! I have been taking Amberen for about 3 weeks. My periods came back as well and I am completely stumped. My last period before this was just under a year ago. Have no idea whether this is meant to happen or not. The Amberen staff were less than helpful in this regard when I called them up, they basically said if this is your only side effect then keep going(!?) No idea what to do but have booked an appointment with my GP next week. For the time being will keep up the Amberen and go buy some tampons again! The only website where I could really find any reference to this (all the rest are complete spam..!!) was at www.menopausereviews.org/reviews/amberen/ and there were a few women over there who had their periods come back. That said it certainly does worry me and I hope my doctor has some answers! Please let me know what your doctor says, I'm completely lost for words!
Hoping for the best for you and all other women going through this hell
Sarah xx
Hi Missbopeep, thanks for the info, are you a medical professional?
Hi sarahfulltimemum, let us know what your Dr says please.
I've decided to take the 3rd months' worth. I will see what happens from there on.
I started it 4 months ago, age 39, still regular periods, but with serious perimenopause symptoms that were helped if I lathered on the progesterone cream until they just got to be too severe.
I was amazed that within 4 days of Amberen I snapped back to what has been a steady approx 28 day cycle since. Being on the one-month free trial I got nervous and sent the last 2 months back in time for my refund, but I realized that it had made such a difference that I didn't want to go without. So I ordered a 3-month supply.
I tried it after reading hundreds of positive reviews on I think on this site

Scare Me! . . . just a little
I visited a library in Southeast Minneapolis yesterday, and read from some of my books to a mixed crowd of mostly 1st through 3rd graders. Before I picked up the book titled "Cave of the Bookworms" from the Library of Doom series, I asked if anyone in the audience liked scary stories. Everyone raised a hand. So I started reading the creepy story that begins and ends with a young boy dreaming about monsters. The little kids' eyes grew wide. Their jaws dropped. They stared at the illustrations I held out to them. They responded so enthusiastically that I read another book from the series at the end of the presentation. After the kids had left, an adult came up and said how amazed he was that "the little girls liked the story as much as the little boys." Everyone likes to be scared, I said. Especially if you're in a safe environment such as a library or a classroom -- or, like one first-grader yesterday, on your grandmother's lap.

great creep illustration. Yikes! I would have never guessed that bookworms were carnivores with rows and rows of jagged teeth.

A line of severe thunderstorms that moved through Georgia and South Carolina on Wednesday evening caused minor damage in the Augusta area, and was blamed for at least four deaths in the two states.
Tornado warnings were issued for Richmond and northern Burke counties in Georgia, and southern Aiken and Barnwell counties in South Carolina between 4:30 and 6:30 p.m.
Possible funnel clouds were reported in Jackson and on Windsor Spring Road in south Richmond County, but the National Weather Service in West Columbia, S.C., cannot verify those reports until more data is collected today, said meteorologist Dave Schuetrum.
A tornado was reported in Aiken County, forecasters told The Associated Press.
The weather service will send out meteorologists Thursday to determine if the storms were tornadoes and how strong they may have been.
The roofs of two homes and a barn on Ramsey Road near Jackson were damaged, according to Aiken County sheriff's Capt. Troy Elwell.
In Richmond County, dispatch reported several car accidents during the storms, but none resulted in serious injuries. Columbia County Emergency Management Agency Director Pam Tucker said no damage was reported in her county.
At Augusta Regional Airport, a 58 mph wind gust was recorded at 5:05 p.m., Schuetrum said. There were no reports of hail.
Three recreational vehicles reportedly flipped over near Waynesboro, Ga., Schuetrum said. Downed power lines and a tree on a house were also reported.
More serious damage was reported in north Georgia, and one person was reported killed when a tree fell on an SUV. Capt. Tim House, of the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office, said the unidentified person was killed when a tree fell on the vehicle near the Fulton County line.
In west Georgia, Harris County school officials said the storm damaged schools and vehicles in parking lots as it passed through, but no children were injured. Damage also was reported to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
Harris County Sheriff Mike Jolley said two people who lived in a mobile home near the sheriff's office were injured and transported to The Medical Center in Columbus.
"We don't think it is serious," Jolley said.
The National Weather Service said penny-size hail was reported in Woodstock, Ga., as the storms passed through Cherokee County. The storms downed several trees in the Marietta and Smyrna areas.
Georgia Power Co. reported that several hundred metro-Atlanta customers were without electricity, mostly in Smyrna and south Fulton County.
A likely tornado that was part of a powerful cold front that swept across the Southeast on Wednesday blew through a rural community near Rock Hill, S.C., killing at least three and injuring a handful more. Police were searching to see if there were any more victims.
The tornado struck around 6 p.m., destroying or heavily damaging up to seven homes about five miles southwest of Rock Hill, said York County sheriff's Lt. Mike Baker.
At least one mobile home was blown several hundred feet across the street and into the woods, leaving behind only the concrete steps leading to the front door. Another home was buried under the branches of at least one pine tree and the side was ripped off a third home, according to television footage and still photos from the scene.
York County Sheriff Bruce Bryant asked South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley for state assistance.
