A Warrior legacy
As Henrico H.S. turns 50, alumni recall proud tradition
On opening day Sept. 4, 1962, tenth-grader Lee Good Hanchey was one of 1,167 students at the brand new Henrico High School, where she needed 23 units to graduate and racial diversity was practically non-existent. Teams and clubs had yet to be formed, traditions yet to be made.
"It was a clean brand new campus and very different looking from the older high schools with lots of new things to be part of," Hanchey recalled recently. "I thought it was a very exciting place to be."
Hanchey would go on to teach at the school she loved from 1979-2009, pioneering and guiding the Center for the Arts, helping to lead and define Warrior spirit.
This year, Henrico High School celebrates its 50th anniversary with a "Warrior Jubilee." Hanchey, other former and current teachers and administrators, and alumni gathered around a conference table at the school last month to talk about what they've seen change and plans for the school's future.
Warrior Spirit begins
The summer before the school opened in 1962, students were brought together from rival middle schools, Brookland and Fairfield, to decide the colors (green, gold and white) and pick the mascot (the Warrior). Pregame bonfires the Thursdays before homecoming were the norm and helped build unity in the newly formed community, Hanchey said.
"It was a lot of fun to gather out there and celebrate as a group, but I can't imagine doing that today, but it was a lot of fun," she said.
Even into the 1970s, every Friday during all sports seasons – not just football season – there was a pep rally, said Judy Whytley Ganzert, who taught at Henrico from 1974-1989.
Hanchey said that the pep rallies she attended as a student were different from those she saw as a teacher, because the whole school community was really involved.
"I remember everybody cheered, because everybody knew the cheers – they were taught the cheers," Hanchey said. "It was a big deal – it created a tremendous amount of school spirit. It wasn't a disengagement from school."
Judy Ganzert fondly remembered the massive homecoming parades that would start at Azalea Mall, go through the small field, and end with two laps around the track surrounding the football field.
"The kids would spend forever dreaming up their themes and their plans and rigging their trucks, and the girls who were on homecoming court got the convertibles and rode in the convertibles," she said. "The homecoming court would be dropped off at the main gate and the princesses would go up and sit in their little seats."
Tom Jeremiah, the school's director of student activities and a multi-sport coach who came to Henrico in 1985 to teach English, said that while the parades still take place, they don't occur on the track anymore. Principal Ron Rodriguez said, with a laugh, that there are no plans to bring the bonfires back.
Curriculum and culture change
Coach, physical education and drivers' education teacher Bo Ellett, who worked at Henrico for 38 years and retired in 2006, said that when he started at the school, there were just 12 students who weren't white. "The changes were really gradual," Ellett said.
Hanchey had looked forward to the newly desegregated school system when she started as a student but said that it wasn't until she was a teacher that she saw the biggest demographic shift, particularly after the International Baccalaureate program came to the school in 1995 and the Center for the Arts in 1990.
"What I really, really loved as a teacher here was that we had kind of a mini United Nations," Hanchey said. "We had students from every conceivable country, and it's just a great place to teach because you have lots of different kinds of students come to this school to study.
"It made this school – and this school was already a welcoming place, the students very accepting of other people and of their talents and of their abilities, and I love that about Henrico High School."
Ellet said that when the school added the IB program, it made him a better teacher. It also brought in different viewpoints about activities, Jeremiah said, and diversified the types of clubs the school offered.
As of 2011, the student population was 72 percent African-American, nine percent Asian, 15 percent white, three percent Hispanic and two percent other, Rodriguez said, with 47 percent of the student's families living at the poverty level.
In 2009, Newsweek magazine ranked the school as No. 929 of its list of the top 1,500 U.S. high schools – the only Henrico County school to make the list.
"When you look at that [poverty rate] and turn and look at the success rate and the achievement level we get at Henrico High School, it's still very high. We're very proud of that," said Ganzert, who left Henrico in 1989 to become the specialist for social studies for Henrico County Public Schools.
Expectations and support
Sometime in the last half-century, the attitudes of some alumni toward the school changed and multi-generational attendance and support waned.
"Lee and I, in working on the 50th, are trying our hardest to change some alumni thinking about what Henrico is today," said Lynette Riddell Metzger, class of '72. "Unfortunately, some people say, 'I don't want to go back to that school; I don't want to be on that campus for a football game.' We're like, 'What?' Lee and I don't get it, but we're trying to understand."
That's also Jeremiah's greatest frustration.
"Somebody whose child is going to another school, they come and look at the trophies and say, 'I graduated from here, I did this, I did that. Why come back?'" he said.
Hanchey said she'd heard the same thing when she was advocating for the Center for the Arts. People would say, "It's dangerous there." She'd respond, "'If it's dangerous, why am I still teaching there now? I would not be working for a place that's dangerous.' The biggest thing was that once I got them onto campus and they saw the programs, they were sold about how wonderful this school is."
Attitudes already are changing for the better, Rodriguez said. Metzger is determined that the anniversary celebration – to be held on campus for all alumni – will be the chance to prove to everyone what a great place it is.
"If we can just get them here, I told them it's like the movie 'Field of Dreams,'" Metzger said. "I'm looking at Lee like, 'If we plan this they will come. Right?'"
The event will feature walking tours, speeches and performances by distinguished alumni (including noted author David Baldacci), opportunities to get involved in pre-game activities, a 5K run benefiting Henrico athletics, recognition of alumni, faculty and administration and catered events. Students will be helping with many of the events.
Some familiar sights
The meeting place for many a student break, for parent pick-up and emblem of school spirit always was the stately Warrior head mounted in front of a small wall at the front of the campus, said Metzger. "It still is," Rodriguez said.
"Over the years, it was always having paint thrown on it. When we played Hermitage it would be painted blue or red," Metzger said. "It was always a target for rivalries."
The original head – designed by Henry "Chuck" Richardson, one of the original three black students at the school who later became a Richmond City Councilman – was blown up years ago. All that remained was a piece of metal rebar, Ganzert said, but the spot remained a popular meeting place for nearly another decade.
Nobody ever discovered who blew the head up, but its void did present an excellent learning opportunity for the students at the then-new Center for the Arts to design a new Warrior, Hanchey said.
Among other things that haven't changed: No one likes inclement weather at this outdoor campus.
"I used to say, 'You'll love Henrico High School – it's like being at Kings Dominion with a water ride. You will get wet,'" Hanchey said.
Last month, the Henrico County School Board approved a $23-million, three-year renovation budget that will change the way foot traffic flows around the campus. Improvements will include combining the auditorium main office and gym in one locale, Rodriguez said. These and other improvements will help create a more secure campus and force everybody to centralize.
"That is going to be so cool," Ellett said.
The renovation, however, will not impact the Warrior head, which will remain in its "sacred" location as a beacon of school spirit, Rodriguez said.

2008 gear
So what changes are you guys and gals making for 2008
If you are switching please tell from what to what and why
I will start off.
Keeping my Drenalin but also buying a Drenalin LD, plan on using the LD for target and hunting
I am going to be using the new MO camo. Nothing worng with break up just need some new clothes.
I am upgrading from Vortex Diamondbacks to Vortex Vipers ....These binos are great www.vortexoptics.com
for the $ they can not be beat.
I will be shooting FOB's instead of Blazers...I still love the blazers but the FOB's really stabilize my broadheads well.
Everything else is staying the same.
I switched bows for 2008 Went from a Hoyt Vectrix to a Hoyt Katera. Just needed a new toy. Everything else I will probably keep the same.
I'm hoping to upgrade from the Hoyt Trykon to the Katera. That and a dozen arrows and I will be set. Well.......I should upgrade my bino's.....and since I started filming most of my hunts this year, I need a few more treestands so we don't have to carry a cameraman stand into the woods with us every time we go out.
I switched from a Mathews SQ2 to a Hoyt Katera XL. I kept my Cobra Sidewinder sight, Thunderhead broadheads, Limbsaver stabilizer, and my Scott release. EVERYTHING else will be new.
I plan on shooting Beman ICS Hunter Elites and a Trophy Taker dropaway rest. I need to figure out a quiver yet, I'm not sure if I'm going with one by Hoyt, Tru-Glo, or what. Any recommendations?
I'm making the big switch from alum. to carbon arrows.
(Yeah I'm a little slow.);)
Careful now, don't hurt yourself. :p
I may get some more arrows. Probably 2 sets. I set for hunting and logs for 3D. I really should get a bow just for 3D, but I can't bring myself to spend the money. I'm in Hunter Class anyway.
I'll be picking up a range finder. I can't think of anything else at the moment. I usually use my stuff for a while before I get something new.
LOL They still make aluminum?
not really hunting equipment, but getting a new corn planter and a new combine for the food plots. and sure there will be some new toy that comes out that I will just have to have.
anyone get one of those butt pullers? and if so, what did you think? not impressed with it as it went in easily enough, but kept hanging up on the pull back out.

After a few pictures of the celebratory BRE 370Z , we were able to receive a few details on the 370Z as the old BRE members got together for a reunion-type weekend. The guest of honor at this revelry; a model built to commemorate the arrival of the first Datsun 240Z on the US market 40 years ago.
The BRE 370Z is painted in the now famous red, white, and blue BRE paint scheme designed by Peter Brock. Brock and driver, John Morton, were part of the celebration weekend at Road Atlanta that lead to a few trial runs of the BRE 370Z.
"To be able to gather with many of my old BRE crew members at Road Atlanta was truly a special occasion," said Brock. "It was fantastic to see so many BRE tribute cars and to have so many fans join us for the celebration was very gratifying."
Peter Brock was very excited to be able to get behind the wheel of the BRE 370Z, but hopes to be able to drive it "as it should be driven," adding that the 370Z has "strong, sculpted shapes" that allowed him to display a bold color scheme.
The BRE 370Z, however, is not just a show car, it's first and foremost built for the track. As is appropriate to commemorate the championship car, it was built to current SCCA T2 racecar regulations and will see track duty later this year.
Press release after the jump.
Press release
Forty years ago, the Datsun 240Z arrived in North America and changed the sports car landscape forever with its combination of sleek design, excellent performance and amazing value. That same year Peter Brock's Southern California-based Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE) racing team helped to change the motorsports world by claiming the first SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) National Championship for the Z® in production racing over long-established champions from Germany and England in head-to-head competition. That win, and the follow-up win in 1971, changed the perception of the Z® and other Japanese cars and the motorsports world was never the same. Those championships wins, with driver John Morton at the wheel, firmly established the performance and engineering credibility of the Z®.
The #46 championship car carried the now famous red, white and blue BRE paint scheme designed by Peter Brock. This past weekend at Road Atlanta Brock, Morton and many of the BRE team members reunited with a replica of the #46 (the original was unfortunately destroyed many years ago) and many of the famous original BRE cars at the Classic Motorsports Mitty at Road Atlanta. In recognition of BRE's multiple championships in Nissan products and the Z®'s first championship, Nissan North America again teamed with Brock to create an updated rendition of the famous BRE livery on a specially modified 2010 Nissan NISMO 370Z Coupe.
The BRE 370Z was shown for the first time at a special BRE Reunion dinner on Thursday evening when Brock drove it into view for a sellout crowd. It received a very warm welcome and was displayed throughout the weekend along with large collection of the famous BRE racecars and a 40th Anniversary Edition 370Z. Brock, Morton and many of the original BRE team members spent much of the weekend reminiscing about their BRE team days. The team even had a chance to jump back into action when one of the old team cars wouldn't fire just before the celebration laps on Saturday. They quickly diagnosed the reluctant racer and fired it just in time to take to the track for a few laps with all the BRE team cars led by Brock in the BRE 370Z. While the speeds were limited the BRE team members couldn't resist the opportunity to occasionally run up the revs to feel a little surge of acceleration and revisit that 1970 championship for a brief moment.
"To be able to gather with many of my old BRE crew members at Road Atlanta was truly a special occasion," said Brock. "It was fantastic to see so many BRE tribute cars and to have so many fans join us for the celebration was very gratifying."
The BRE Nismo 370Z was well received by the fans at the Mitty and Brock looks forward to getting behind the wheel when he can experience the full performance of the car. "Because the 370Z has strong, sculpted shapes, I was able to make the livery even bolder and more aggressive," said Brock. "I'm really pleased with the livery and I enjoyed driving it around the track but I'd like get a chance to drive it as it should be driven sometime."
The BRE 370Z is not just a show car, it's built for the track. As is appropriate to commemorate the championship car, it was built to current SCCA T2 racecar regulations and will see track duty later this year. It will also be on display at multiple Z® Club events around the country, including ZCon 2010, the annual Z convention, from July 28 to August 1 in Nashville.

A Russian Expatriate Adrift in Berlin
The most striking image in "Gorilla Bathes at Noon," Dusan Makavejev's whimsical cinematic collage set in present-day Berlin, is a gigantic statue of Lenin that stands as a ludicrous anachronism in the post-Communist era. In one of the film's zanier scenes, Victor Borisovich (Svetozar Cvetkovic), an expatriate Russian soldier and the film's main character, impulsively hoists himself on ropes to the statue's head to wash its face. Moments later, the police arrive and ensnare him in a net from which he protests, "Ich bin ein Berliner!"
Not long afterward, workers begin detaching the head of the statue from its body. Lifted by crane, the severed head is lowered slowly onto a flatbed truck and carted off through the streets of Berlin. So much for Communism and kitsch monuments exalting its heroes.

What with the start of school, Fashion's Night Out, and keeping up with all of Fashion Week's happenings, I had forgotten to post this. In search of savoring the last of summer's rays I headed to The Hester Street Fair on Labor Day. Though small space is allotted for the market, there is an abundance of great stands to stop by and see. When first entering through the market's iron gateway, to the left was QP & Monty, or what one might call flea market heaven. I sifted through their bowls full of random knickknacks and key chains that would make a nice addition to a charm necklace. Other things of interest sold at their stand included vintage sunglasses, old fabrics, a typewriter, and some decorative plates.
I was extremely hungry so I opted for a chicken empanada and cucumber limeade, while my parents purchased from Luke's Lobster Shack some of the freshest lobster and shrimp rolls I've ever had (better than any I've ever had in Maine).
A nearby vendor to Luke's was a man selling beautiful vintage Danish jewelry that he had found and collected over the years. While Extinct Optics, sold, well just that—unique vintage frames. Unfortunately, he sold no cat-eye sunglasses continuing my hunt for a decent pair.
The real stars of the Hester Street Fair were those who sold dessert. Between my parents and me, we had 4 desserts in total and loved every bite of it. Our first indulgence was at LA NEWYORKINA, where we got the Elote or corn flavored Popsicle, with actual chunks of corn inside. I was a little skeptical at first as to how the pop might taste, but it turned out to be seriously delish; the corn was sweet with a touch of savory and added a bit of crunch. Other flavors of that day included Cantaloupe, Orange-Peach, Chili-Mango, Spiced Tomato, Hibiscus, and Coconut.
Our second dessert stop was at the Melt Bakery stand, where they put an artisanal spin on the typical ice cream sandwich. It was so hard to choose which flavor to get because they all sounded equally delectable. This is probably why my family felt the need to buy two: the peach ice cream and brown butter bourbon shortbread cookie sandwich along with the salted caramel ice cream and brownie sandwich. They were absolutely worth every calorie; usually in an ice cream sandwich either the cookie is too bland or too sugary but in Melt's, both elements succeeded.
Just as we were about to leave the market, we spotted Guerrilla Ice Cream and what with flavors like Lemon Poppy Seed, we knew it was a must-try. The last time I had olive oil ice cream was during a trip to Woodstock, and I thought it was honestly incredible. After sampling Guerrilla's own take on the flavor, I really wanted their honey, olive oil, and lemon peel combo, but was out voted. We ended up getting Chai Masala with sliced almonds and candied fennel seeds. It was delicious, but still not the same as olive oil ice cream—I'll have to go back and try theirs next time.
vintage Southwestern print dress, wicker picnic purse, thirft purchase black belt, red sandals via Payless
I was super full from all of the treats purchased, so we decided to walk for awhile towards home. If you're curious, the dress and wicker picnic basket-style purse I'm wearing were purchased on my recent vacation to Maine at a local thrift store for $4 each! Maine thrift stores have unexpected treasures for reasonable prices (everything I bought was under 10 dollars); if you can't tell the dress is Southwestern-themed, printed with little cactuses, bulls, and sombreros.

Dateline BEA: Canadian Markets and No Brownie Love
The morning panel on the publishing industry in Canada, perhaps, suffered in my estimation because of differing expectations. What we got was more of an introduction to the industry, from big houses (Random House and Simon & Schuster Canada) to the big box bookstores (Indigo, which owns Chapters & Coles) to the warehouses (yes, Sam's Club is on its way to taking over Ontario, and let's not forget Costco and Canada's Superstore, aka Loblaws but evil in a different way) and the indies (as represented by Paul McNally of McNally-Robinson fame.) And all well and good, especially when the discussion turned to how the Canadian dollar's massive rise in the last year or so has profundly affected how to price hardcovers, but I was hoping for a fuller discussion on how to navigate rights issues – since Canada is sometimes Commonwealth, sometimes North American, and sometimes all by its lonesome. Never mind that most of the audience was comprised of Canadian industry folk…so it was more like preaching to the choir.
After taking an extended lunch break (aka getting to see the Phillips Collection's "Masterworks" exhibition for free) and catching the tail-end – pun not really intended – of Chris Anderson's presentation on his Long Tail Theory, along came the NYTBR panel with a decidedly defensive looking Sam Tanenhaus. It was as if the edge creeped into his voice right before the proceedings began and never let up. The topic, of course, was the much-talked-about "Best American Novel of the last 25 years" which is the main subject of the May 21 issue. It took a while before all the panelists were fully engaged (the beginning was the "Sam and Greg" show, aka Tanenhaus and the Book Review's research analyst explaining why they used the 1965 poll from the defunct Herald-Tribune as a model…and then didn't) and for Cynthia Ozick and Liesl Schillinger, especially, to perk up and contribute.
Things became decidedly more entertaining in the Q&A, much in part due to Ed Champion's back-and-forth (he's got more details, but I will say it was immensely amusing to sit next to him the whole time) which elicited the admission alluded to in the subject header: Sam Tanenhaus is not a brownie fan. Lost a bit in the hubbub was the fact that the pickings were short on women, and if Tanenhaus's assertion that most of those who declined to take part were, indeed, women, why was this the case? Did they feel that their votes weren't worthy or were meaningless? Perhaps there is room for such a discussion in the future.
Ron adds: Unfortunately, because Ed folded the question about the paucity of women into another question about why Tanenhaus has never said 'thank you' for the brownies Ed sent, the gender disparity issue got lost in the shuffle, as Tanenhaus sighed, "Where to start?" and then laid out the basic counter-arguments. (1) A lot of the women he asked had better things to do with their time than answer his questions. (2) Tanenhaus challenged Champion to name a book review section in the country that paid more attention to serious fiction (to which my mental response was, "You did not just say that in Book World's hometown. I know you ain't that crazy"). (3) "I'm under no obligation to acknowledge your brownies."
I got a little more productivity out of approaching one of the other panelists, Thomas Mallon, and asking him what it meant that such a significant percentage of American literary culture's gatekeepers seemed to think that everything peaked sixteen years ago with the publication of Beloved. What have we been doing since 1990, I thought to myself, marking time? (Also, Mallon's Henry and Clara was completely robbed, but don't take my word for it; it's an amazingly beautiful novel which I insist you read for yourself. Likewise his Two Moons.) And Liesl Schillinger had some very thoughtful comments to make about the experimentalism of younger writers who, for whatever reason, didn't wind up on the NYTBR radar. I'm not 100% sure of where I would point to the most accomplished literature of the last few years coming from, but after talking to them, I got the strong sense that there's hope beyond Toni Morrison yet…

A preliminary plan to move the Extended Care Unit from Adams Memorial Hospital was approved Wednesday night by the Adams Health Network (AHN) board of trustees at their regular monthly meeting.
Hospital officials emphasized the move of ECU to the "B" wing of the Woodcrest Nursing Home makes sense from an economical standpoint and should not be construed by people as meaning an ECU patient will become a nursing home patient.

WABASH — What's the difference between winning and losing?
How about making a foul-line rim-rattler at six-tenths of a second vs. missing a 45-footer off the rear rim and glass?
That's how Adams Central, thanks to Keaton Fiechter's huge final goal, assured itself of a winning 2010-11 season on Tuesday night with a 60-58 decision over gritty Southwood.

Benefits of Dental Implants
Due to the advanced design and technology of dental implants, these restorations are often the best choice for replacing missing teeth. Compared to fixed bridges and removable dentures, they offer greater freedom to eat various foods, cause no speech impediment, and reduce the risk of bone loss. In addition, dental implants do not require reshaping of the adjacent teeth, which means that patients' healthy dental structures can remain intact. Dental implants also last significantly longer than bridges and dentures. This is because dental implants are anchored in the bone and do not cause teeth decay, gum irritation and other dental problems. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Bridges and dentures, on the other hand, usually need to be replaced every seven to 15 years. While the placement of a dental implant might require somewhat longer time than placement of a fixed bridge, the former procedure delivers permanent results that enhance both the functionality and aesthetics of one's smile.
Cosmetic Procedures
Many patients who have received advanced treatments at cosmetic dentistry San Jose offices of the area's talented cosmetic dentists notice great improvement in both their appearance and self-confidence. The increased self-assuredness often inspires them to undergo additional elective procedures they might have been considering for some time. For example, many women who constantly feel self-conscious about the appearance of their breasts undergo breast augmentation in San Jose to achieve more curvaceous body contours. They often begin their journey towards a more beautiful body by scheduling personal consultations at plastic surgery San Jose offices of the city's most accomplished cosmetic surgeons.

When the improbable success of Mumford & Sons put the spotlight on scruffy youngsters toting banjos and mandolins, this Duluth, Minnesota, crew was one of the bands peeking back out from the shadows. Trampled by Turtles started in 2004 out of pure necessity: After his previous band's equipment was stolen, singer Dave Simonett figured a group that didn't need amplifiers would be less of a target. Now TBT are seasoned regulars on the bluegrass-festival circuit and released their sixth collection of breakdowns and ballads, Stars and Satellites, earlier this year.

On 8/11/09 I had the most offensive experience! Establishment is blazing HOT!!! Immediately inquired Âwhat happened to the AC? Staffer states ÂThe AC broke yesterday Surprise! 1 of the maybe 20 tables were occupied. B line to sit directly under a ceiling fan. Attempted to order a Happy Hour Special but told we must sit at the Bar to get HH Prices. Pointed out that the bar only had 2 seats left over in a corner where there was no fan so we requested an exception bc the AC was broken. Another staff states ÂWe donÂt even have an AC system here I said, ÂWhy did the 1st staffer LIE saying that the AC broke yesterday? Requested that the staff go and ask the Owner (who was outside) if our request could be kindly obliged. Staff member states ÂHe (the owner) said ÂIf You Want To Talk to Him You Can Go Outside & Talk To Him Yourself     U-Turn for the Exist. Asked the owner specifically if he made that reprehensible statement and he began with a nervous stutter. Guilt written all over! Shit Service = Shit Not Worth My Time & Money.

I have been frequenting the restaurant for several years. It seemed to go through a shaky period last summer but they have really improved! The price point for the portions is a great deal anywhere in town ( hello can everyione really affored $28 entrees?!)and the menu offers enought to please everyone (ahem my picky vegetarian friends). Its a great casual and date spot although I wouldnt use it for business meetings. I'm glad they've pulled it together because so many places lose steam after a couple of years.

Native doesn't leave up to its name! The food was average but the service was just terrible. "No Hello", the waitress slapped the menus on the table and we damn near had to sit ourselves. Am all for supporting local businesses but was turned by the staff unfriendly facade.

I first tried Native when I moved to Harlem in August 2007, and we all liked it very much. Since then, I have returned several times in hopes of matching that first delicious meal. But after my latest awful experience, I am unlikely to return. Perhaps the owner, Brian Washington Palmer, needs to overhaul the kitchen. The cooking has become downright bad.

My wife and I stopped in one night for dinner at Native, which is not far from our new apartment. It was a good, solid meal. The decor is okay - what it does do effectively is evoke a smoky, mysterious, passionate feel. Decent wine list. If you're in the neighborhood, it's worth a try.

WASHINGTON — David Fales, who led the nation in completion percentage during the regular season, completed 33 of 43 passes for 395 yards and two touchdowns Thursday to lead No. 24 San Jose State to a 29-20 win over Bowling Green in the Military Bowl.
Fales led the drive that set up Austin Lopez's 27-yard field goal with 4:43 remaining, and De'Leon Eskridge's 1-yard run with 2:34 left provided the insurance.
San Jose State (11-2), in the national rankings for the first time since 1975, capped the year with a seven-game winning streak for its first 11-win season since 1940, a remarkable turnaround for a program that was 1-12 just two years ago in Mike MacIntyre's first season as coach.
But MacIntyre left earlier this month for a bigger payday at Colorado, leaving defensive coordinator Kent Baer in charge for the bowl. Baer was interested in the job full-time, but the school instead hired San Diego's Ron Caragher, who attended the game as an observer.
Bowling Green (8-5) had a similar turnaround, improving from 2-10 in 2010 under coach Dave Clawson. A defense that allowed only 15.8 points per game in the regular season - ninth best among FBS schools - did a decent job against a San Jose State team that was averaging 35.3 points.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — - Duke running back Josh Snead fumbled at the Cincinnati 5 with 1:20 left and Brendon Kay threw an 83-yard touchdown pass to Travis Kelce with 44 seconds to go, lifting the Bearcats to an improbable win over the Blue Devils.
Kay threw for 332 yards and his four scoring passes were a Belk Bowl record.
Duke appeared to have the game in hand and was driving for the go-ahead score - and its first bowl victory since 1961 - but the final 80 seconds proved disastrous. With the game tied at 34 and the Blue Devils positioning themselves for a winning field goal, Snead fumbled with 1:20 left and Bearcats defensive lineman John Williams recovered.
Kay then connected with Kelce down the middle for the go-ahead score.
Cincinnati (10-3) sealed it on the next series when Maalik Bomar came crashing into Duke quarterback Sean Renfree, forcing a deflection that Nick Temple returned 55 yards for a touchdown.
Renfree threw for 358 yards - another Belk Bowl record - for the Blue Devils (6-7).

Over the next few weeks, students may notice something different about Goldfarb Commons. From October 10-31, the commons will be home to the Clothesline Project, a display of shirts with messages and pictures, designed by women who have been victims of sexual violence and their friends or families. The project is sponsored by the student group VAWA (Violence Against Women Awareness), and is designed to honor the strength of women who have come forward and to raise awareness about sexual violence. The project also allows individuals to share information in a safe and confidential manner. Brown School students had the opportunity to design their own shirts on October 10-12, which will be displayed in the commons for the rest of the month. If you are visiting or working at the Brown School during the month of October, be sure to take some time to read their inspiring messages.

I am NOT a winter person. I love the snow, but I just can't handle the cold. I wear layers upon layers to stay warm all winter long. Nothing warms my bones more than a wonderful, tasty hot cup of soup. I have to say, creamy potato is my favorite. After a full day of work, I get my book, a hot cup of soup, and enjoy the tranquility.
I have childhood memories, as I'm sure many of you do, of drums made from coffee cans, cardboard tube horns, and guitars made of rubber bands and a Kleenex box or a cigar box. Not only did these homemade creations roughly (emphasis on roughly) resemble the instruments they were modeled after, but we could occasionally make actual "music" with them.
Watching the news never really worried me until I moved to Kansas City. Now, I should tell you that we sure have our share of heinous events going on Back East, but news broadcasts here seem to relish in the macabre. Maybe, it's just me.

Many of us will admit to being procrastinators. We put off doing an assignment or project until the last minute, and then finally, we put the effort in and wrap it up in a flurry of activity. It's estimated that 80-95% of college students procrastinate, and 75% of them actually consider themselves procrastinators. They devote weeks to gathering information but are unable to finish their paper because they didn't leave enough time for actually writing the paper. "Student Syndrome" is the term

Yosemite: Snow Creek Falls Hike
You have to make reservations for Yosemite Lodge almost a year ahead of time for any reasonable chance of scoring a room, so planning a hiking trip in the springtime - Yosemite's most beautiful but most unpredictable time of year – is something of a dice roll when it comes to weather conditions. And when you've scheduled a date nearly ten months out, you're pretty committed to seeing it through – even if spring snowfall totals approach record levels, or air temperatures are 25 to 30 degrees below average, or the forecast calls for another day of snow flurries. Or, in the situation we experienced last week, even if all three of those conditions apply.
Another notable, and far more distressing, drawback of Yosemite is that people die there. Lots and lots of people, in fact – more than 900 since the park's inception. I happened to be acutely aware of this, because for three weeks prior to our trip I tore through Off the Wall: Death in Yosemite, an exhaustively researched, morbidly fascinating account of every known traumatic fatality within the park borders, written by two longtime Search and Rescue dudes. The appeal of the book – aside from the morbid fascination thing – is its reinforcement of what NOT to do when you're cavorting in the wilderness. If you spend lots of time in the wild, the book should be required precautionary reading. If you're interested in learning about the crazy things some (overwhelmingly male, naturally) people do to get themselves killed, it's really an outstanding collection of tales.
But if you're too busy to check it out, I'll help you out a bit. The main theme of Off The Wall can be effectively condensed to a couple of fairly simple rules: 1) Follow the rules, and 2) Don't be an idiot. Use common sense, and don't overestimate your abilities just to stoke your ego. Coincidentally, we'll file that little lesson away for later in the report on the hike my wife and I took in the Snow Creek Falls area. For now, we'll get started with the photos:
Our hike began from the Tenaya Creek Bridge on the far eastern side of the valley floor. All week long, rain and snow showers had been forecast for this day – so when the morning broke with merely near-freezing temperatures but no precipitation, we decided to go for it. We weren't sure whether this would be a 30-minute hike or an eight-hour day; we just knew we wanted to give it a try.
The first mile of the trail is actually a gently graded asphalt path that winds past Mirror Lake. During this trip, we learned that the name of the area is officially called Mirror Meadow now, for reasons that are more evident from above.
After the first mile, the trail assumes the signature Yosemite Valley mixture of dirt and granite, with large rock slide areas on one side …
… and the looming presence of Half Dome on the other.
About 2 miles in lies the trail junction for Snow Creek Falls trail, which is also the route to North Dome and Indian Rock. The Falls are about 1.8 miles from this point, most of which is straight uphill.
Snow Creek is perhaps the steepest route in and out of the valley, with several very tall switchbacks to help offset the morning chill.
Along the way, you cris-cross a handful of mini-waterfalls bursting from the overhanging rocks. In another park, a waterslide this large would at least be given a name; in Yosemite, it's considered a seasonal runoff channel - one of perhaps thousands.
Gaining elevation quickly, we enjoyed some nice views down into Tenaya Canyon …
… and the series of Quarter Domes on the other side …
… as well as a cool angle of the top of Half Dome. That sharp upturn is where the cables run, and the little notch is the famous diving board. (Photo links from this report).
If you click to enlarge this shot, you'll see a pair of waterfalls on Tenaya Creek (at lower right) in the floor of the Valley below. Even with our remote distance, the sound of these waterfalls was clearly audible for most of our ascent. Meanwhile, we were getting closer to …
… this thing, which was looking more and more like a real waterfall the nearer we got to it. It was also making the trail somewhat treacherous in places …
… as cold granite tends to get pretty slick with an ankle-deep sheet of snowmelt running over it. Trust me on this one.
Above 5500' or so, the entire face of this rock was covered with runoff, and we were beginning to get hit from above by snow falling off of overhead tree cover. It was around this time that I optimistically remarked how lucky we were not to see snow on the trail.
Around 5600', we saw it.
I found the view from the end of this switchback particularly arresting: water streaming over the granite ledge to the right, Half Dome still imposing on the left, and the steepness of the canyon we were climbing out of plainly visible on both sides.
Also, see those white clouds rolling in to the right? …
… They became more and more prominent, as we gradually lost our killer views across the valley …
… and quickly lost our trail underfoot. The trail we were following was about 6 to 10" below what you see here, but we were plucky, and decided to soldier on for another 500' or so of vertical gain.
It wasn't much longer before whiteout conditions found us: we couldn't see the sky, couldn't see the trail …
… and had completely lost our view across the canyon. And suddenly we weren't so warm anymore.
Also, remember that book I mentioned earlier? Its chapters are (again, somewhat morbidly) divided into mechanisms of death: waterfalls, drownings, rock climbing (a very big chapter, by the way), BASE jumping, etc. I mention that because it was right around here that my wife and I started having the following conversation:
Wife: So if we die out here, would we make the book in the "Hiking Off Trail" section, or somewhere else?
Me: Nah … there's a whole chapter on "Snow", and another on "Getting Lost"; I think we'd be in one of those.
See, here's the thing: when you're having conversations about how your impending death might be classified, that's probably a good indication that it's time to turn around. Recall rule #2 – don't be an idiot – that I mentioned above. And since the terrain ahead looked like this:
… and snow flurries were starting to fall on us, turning around seemed like a very good idea.
(However, to demonstrate that I can't completely abandon my foolishness, we continued upward far enough to go from 6990' on my GPS to an even 7000'. To her credit, my wife didn't punch me when I proposed this.)
Aside from watching our step on a very slippery downhill slope, backtracking our route was fairly easy: all we had to do was follow the two lonely sets of footprints in the snow that we made on our way uphill.
Here's another example of how I married the right girl: about 10 minutes down the hill, trying to escape a possible snowstorm, I said "Hey, wait! I need to get some pictures of the gear I'm wearing for a blog review!" and only received a mild eye roll before she agreed.
Curiously, once we descended below the cloud bank, the snow flurries seemed to cease as well; it was like the snow was completely self-contained in the overhead clouds, and couldn't be bothered to fall all the way to the valley floor below. Not that we were complaining.
(This is also a great shot of why it's called Mirror Meadow now; the whole area is more of a marshy pool than an actual lake. Credit Yosemite for being ecologically correct.)
At the base of the trail, we were kind of bummed that we couldn't reach the summit of the climb, so we cruised around the valley floor for a bit – first, to this footbridge further up Tenaya Creek …
… and later on the trail that skirts the north edge of the valley towards Yosemite Lodge. The trail is full of massive rock slides and improbable boulder formations …
… such as this one that forms a natural cave, with a pine tree somehow growing straight out of the granite roof. Whenever I walk around Yosemite, I get the feeling that God just decided to show off a little bit when creating this place.
Eventually we made it back to Yosemite Falls, and then to the Lodge after about 10 miles of hiking. Our discouragement from not reaching the goal of Snow Creek Falls was quickly remedied by a heated room, hot shower, and a quick nap before dinnertime.
While it may be hard to predict exactly what you'll encounter in Yosemite on any given day, it's fair to say that any part of this park you explore will leave you impressed and amazed. Perhaps we'll see Snow Creek Falls another day, or maybe we'll keep discovering new hikes to occupy our days here. The only thing I know for certain is that I'm looking forward to finding out.

Scaling 2D surface or image entities
Two-dimensional surfaces and Image entities can be scaled just as easily as three-dimensional geometry. The scale tool's bounding box contains nine scaling grips when scaling a 2D face. These operate in a similar manner to the grips in a 3D bounding box, and also work with the Command (Microsoft Windows) or Option (Mac OS X) and Shift modifiers.
The bounding box is a 2D rectangle when scaling a single 2D surface that lies in the red-green plane. The bounding box will be a 3D volume if the surface to be scaled is out of plane with the current red-green plane. You can ensure a 2D scale by aligning the Drawing Axes to a surface prior to scaling.

text: When the Confederate lines gave way all was confusion and disorder. The boys up and down the line stood up in the ditches, adjusted their accouterments, and prepared for the race before them. The officers urged the men to remain in the ditches and wait for orders to leave. If the orders were given, I never heard them. I could see our lines giving way on our left, and all at once the entire line jumped out of the ditches and started on a disorderly though rapid run for the Franklin Pike, a mile away. I could see the Yankee columns flanking us on our left, and we all realized that we should soon be captured unless we saved ourselves by flight. The ground was very muddy, and not a good race track, though we made very good time. The fall of Minie balls, accompanied by shell and grapeshot caused us to increase our speed. I passed our major general, Edward Johnston [sic], who was on foot. He had left his horse for safety, and had gone in the line. Being very corpulent and unaccustomed to running, he was soon far behind. I overtook the orderly with the general's horse, but he refused to take the horse back. One daring fellow offered to do so, but the orderly would not release the animal, and the General was captured. Just as I reached the Franklin Pike, at the foot of the mountain, some one with a battle flag waved it, crying: "Halt and rally round the flag, boys!" Soon there were several hundred of us formed in line across the pike, and we began firing at the bluecoats in the valley below. I don't think there were any officers present. It seemed to be a "private" affair, though "free for all." This voluntary attempt to rally did but little good, but it checked the rapidly advancing column for a few moments, and enabled many exhausted Confederates to escape. We fired a few rounds--the last shots fired, at the battle of Nashville--and when the enemy were getting uncomfortably close some one cried out: "It's no use, boys; let's give it up, or we will be captured," and all fell back in wild confusion. Night was soon on us and the road was fearfully muddy. We had no rations, and had gotten but little sleep for several nights. Tennesseans never had a more disagreeable night march. Thus in the midst of winter and but poorly clad we started into Hood's memorable retreat from Nashville, which lasted nearly a week, while the ever-vigilant Yanks were thundering in our rear day and night.Anon., "Last Shots in the Battle of Nashville." The Confederate Veteran, VII(1899):154.

Casa Outdoor Rug 2 2
Disappointed I bought the blue mat. Unfortunately the sun bleached out the vibrant colors in a matter of only a few months. Now it looks awful. July 23, 2013
Pretty but not durable This was a great looking rug when we first got it. The colors have faded (over a couple of years) somewhat but not too badly, but the fabric topping recently peeled off the rubber backing. It looks terrible and is a real tripping hazard. I'm disappointed as this rug hasn't seen a ton of use, nor was it ever washed. I hope my replacement is longer lasting. May 30, 2013

"I used the default design and just changed the wording so it was very easy to create my post cards. I am very happy with the paper quality. I chose Wedding Paper Divas because of the great reviews, and they exceeded my expectations. My fiancé is also very happy with our purchase and we can't wait to send them to our friends and family."
"This postcard Save the Date was just what my fiance and I were looking for. We loved the colors and the way we were able to customize the text. We received many compliments from our guests!"
"I love these save the dates! They are simple and elegant, and unique enough to not be all like every other save the date out there."
"I found this Save the Date card and I was so excited for it. The web version does no justice to the card in person. It is so unique and cute! Everyone that has seen them has said that they are wonderful. The quality of the card was more than I could have asked for. Beautiful colors and designs. I got this order within a week which was perfect for me. I will for sure be using Weddingpaperdivas.com in the future!!"
"This save the date I ordered as a postcard. The design and print quality was just outstanding. No errors whatsoever. Printing and delivery was quick and accurate. I will not order my invitations anywhere else but wedding paper divas!"

Ricksy Business
This is the bizarre creature featured in the finale episode of Rick and Morty called "Ricksy Business" that takes Lincoler down. The idea behind it was to create a menacing bioluminescence cat like creature. I did some pencil sketches while getting my car repaired over lunch and tried to add a mix of bat, saber tooth tiger, and chimera features into one animal. I wanted it to have lifeless eyes with no pupils to make it feel like the ultimate killing machine with no other purpose. Turned out to be one of the scariest creatures of the season, onward to season 2!!

RICK and MORTY - CTHULU!!!
Introducing CTHULU!!! This is a design I did for the Rick and Morty opening title sequence, which turned out to be one of the trickier scenes of the season to nail down. I was so excited to work on this mythical creature and really wanted to finesse it as much as time allowed us since it appears in every episode. The beak mouth on the second page I referenced an Octopus mouth and was shocked to find how their mouths really worked, so for our Cthulu this is whats revealed underneath all those tentacles as Cthulu comes flying into screen trying to grab Rick and Morty. I created a profile and front flight cycle to make it easier on the animator but the animator didn't seem to follow the board posing and all that we gave him and had kind of dropped the ball to those involved, still looks great, but can always be better, hopefully if theres a season 2 we can fine tune it. For the color we wanted it to feel like it had this evil inner glow existing inside that propels it. The Cthulu holding Rick and Morty is a special pose I did as my departure drawing to the rest of the existing crew on my last day there, (the actual drawing was much more phallic). The show premiered last night on Adult Swim and am so happy that the crew can finally enjoy all the hard work put into this beast of a show and share it with the world. So proud.

We teamed up with a studio in India to help assemble all the materials and technical side to finalize it into an app for the iPad. Its a first for me, so plenty to learn Im sure, but I am really enjoying the process so far.

9/11 Memorial
This is a collaboration piece I did with my friend Jim Budman. He owns a gallery workspace studio in Venice that I paint in from time to time. He originally had taken a photo of the twin towers a year to the day before the tragic event from the balcony of his studio in New York. He asked artists to do whatever they pleased with the photograph. The piece covers a little of the story of whats happened since and the moment itself. The matador bull represents the bull market, with bricks collapsing inside of it representing the housing market. The Bear, Bear market taking over, and the Dove in the wine glass is in honor of the people who passed along with the vertical array of striped color representing the variety of ethnicity.

FOX - Allen Gregory
I did these pieces during development for Fox's "Allen Gregory". The rough expressions are what the characters ended up looking like in the final form. On the Allen Gregory page and the Principal Gottlieb and Jeremy page, the designs to the left are designs I liked that didn't make the cut. Richard stayed the same mostly. On the previous post below showing Allen Gregory publicity art is what the final design of the characters eventually looked like.
