Emerald Harbor resident and retired geological engineer Dr. Weldon Frost says oil-and-gas drilling off the shores of Longboat Key is a no-brainer.
But the 37-year Mobil Oil employee is quick to point out that he doesn't believe oil will spout anywhere near the island's shores.
Still, Frost doesn't think it hurts to look.
At a Longboat Key Public Interest Committee debate on oil drilling held Thursday, Jan. 28, at the Longboat Key Hilton Beachfront Resort, Frost sparred off against Tallahassee-based Natural Resources Defense Council consultant Susan Glickman.
Glickman opened the debate by explaining an amendment filed in the Legislature last year to open up a former moratorium on offshore drilling on Florida's Gulf Coast would destroy the state's biggest industry.
Weldon, however, disputed Glickman's claims by calling himself "a victim of his own experience."
The retired geologist, who oversaw approximately 60 offshore drills with no incidents, said he was as much of an environmentalist as anyone else in the audience of approximately 55 people.
Frost said that 49,000 wells have been drilled in the Gulf, and there are currently 81 working oilrigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
"But the future of oil rigs in the Gulf is in deep water," Frost said. "Forty-one of the 81 working rigs are in water depths of 1,000 feet and 15 are working in water depths of more than 5,000 feet."
Frost stressed that he believes drilling is the right thing to do.
"This country imports approximately 70% of oil, while the Department of Energy that President Jimmy Carter created has grown to a budget of more than $24 billion," Frost said. "We have no energy leadership."
Frost said it bothers him that the United States spent $265 billion last year buying oil and spends $100 million per day to get oil from Venezuela.
But Glickman said Florida shouldn't consider oil drilling, because the United States only has 3% of the world's oil reserves.
"We can't drill our way to energy security by getting a limited amount of oil," Glickman said. "What we have to do is get away from oil."
Glickman did agree with Frost that there's not a whole lot of oil to be found between 3-to-10 miles off the Gulf coast.
"And if oil is found more than 10 miles offshore, the state couldn't even get any money from the drilling rights because it's currently not a revenue sharing state," Glickman said.
And although the state's energy association claims more than 24,000 jobs could be created if oil drilling is allowed off the coast, Glickman was quick to point out that even Frost said that only about 1,000 jobs would be created if oil were found off the coast.
Said Glickman: "Twenty-two oil wells were drilled off the state's coast years ago and they all were dry. So why are we thinking about spending money to open up drilling where there's no oil?"
Weldon, though, said he thinks companies should continue to drill everywhere.
"I think there's a lower risk from oil spills than having two years of red tide back to back," Frost said.
Frost received laughter from the audience when he said he found it funny that beach communities have no problem building a 10-story condominium "on a strip of pristine beach."
"But those residents have no problem complaining about a tiny light that they see nine miles out on an oil rig at night," Frost said.

- I believe the pipes and platforms that could restrict our limited source of proper sand for beach renourishment is more concerning than adding to the sate revenues. Also if huricanes break off the platforms, the well does not leak but the pipes fillied with oil do as was the case with Katrina. Oil on the beaches would make red tide seem like paradise.
- 2.
- Dr. Frost is far from being an idiot. He knows that we have to drill in our own yards if we are ever to be less dependent on foreign resources. The rigs would not be seeable from our shores. Anyone who thinks they will knows little or nothing about offshore drilling.
- 3.
- Great artice and hats off to Dr Frost nice to see someone with comman sense. Not found with most of the 'part time resident owners here
Longboat will always be a nice island, however it comes at a cost
The island is built out its time to renourish and rebuild and get rid of nay sayers. They seem to be against everything related to progress.
However they all whine & complain and drive 15 miles off ilsand to buy cheap gas.
They want it Cheap, but can't see the flowers for the trees.
Drilling in the Gulf won't even be seen here.
Most are half blind anyway --Just watch then drive down GMD
- 4.
- I would be willing to bet that most if not all of the people that are against offshore drilling are in favor of reducing our dependency on foreign oil.
The problem is that when it comes to making the sacrifices necessary to achieve that goal we always seem to want "the other guy" (e.g. Galveston) to pay the price.
- 5.
- Dr. Frost is an idiot, if he wants to look at oil wells, let him move
to Galveston.

Sonic Implants Complete Symphonic Collection Strings DVDR D4 AiRISO
Complete Symphonic Collection
Complete Symphonic Collection
The culmination of the efforts of nearly one hundred
recording engineers, sound designers, programmers,
and professional musicians, The Sonic Implants
Complete Orchestral Collection is the ultimate in
beauty, elegance, and power. A sample library of
intricate detail and precise programming, The
Complete Collection is also extremely playable,
making it the first choice for composers, producers,
and players alike.
The Sonic Implants Complete Symphonic Collection
isut the need for additional processing or comprised
of four volumes, Strings, Woodwinds, Brass,
and Percussion. Recorded exclusively within the
exquisite Victorian confines of the renowned
Sonic Temple in Roslindale, MA, the Sonic
Implants Symphonic Collection offers exceptional
recordings of orchestral instruments performed
by musicians from the Boston Pops and Ballet
orchestras, captured in sparkling detail by a
team of award-winning recording engineers and
honed to perfection by a design crew with more
than thirty years cumulative experience in
soundware development. Offering a singular
acoustic aesthetic that is spacious yet
revealingly intimate in its ability to
impart clarity, depth, and definition to the broad
spectrum of orchestral instruments, the Sonic
Implants Symphonic Collection also offers users an
orchestral solution with prodigious
flexibility, intuitive programming, and an
authentic virtual soundstage that allows for the
correct respective placement of instruments and
sections witho panning.
Of course, talk of technical specifics shouldnÆt
serve to obscure what are, ultimately, the defining
characteristics of any sample collection; fidelity
and feel. Creating music is such an elusive pursuit,
that musicians canÆt afford to waste time and energy
with sounds that donÆt deliver the goods. From the
beginning, Sonic ImplantsÆ goal has been to create a
collection of symphonic instruments whose
expressiveness and playability would do more than
just serve the composerÆs creative muse, but inspire
it. With the completion of the Sonic Implants
Symphonic Series, Sonic Implants is proud to offer
an orchestral solution that accomplishes all these
goals and much more.

Lavender ... it's been one of the most controversial topics in Sudbury this year.
The Asian restaurant was in the spotlight back in May after it was issued a liquor license violation the night Annual Town Meeting ended, when Selectmen Larry O'Brien, John Drobinski, Town Manager Maureen Valente and other town officials gathered to celebrate.
The restaurant, which had been given two courtesy warnings that night from the Sudbury Police Department, was cited for hosting patrons past the allowed hours.
And there was the car accident involving Elizabeth Rust, the Sudbury Department of Planning and Community Development employee who crashed her car during the early morning hours of May 9 on Concord Road when she hit two signs and a granite post at the Union Avenue intersection. She told the responding officer she had left Lavender and was cited for her third OUI. That case is still pending at Framingham District Court.
At the last Board of Selectmen meeting, the Board voted, 2-1, to allow the restaurant to stay open until 2 a.m. on Thanksgiving (Wednesday into Thursday). Drobinski argued it's been a tradition as local kids come home from college and want a place to congregate. O'Brien, who had recused himself from all Lavender talk until the last meeting, voted to approve the motion. Bob Haarde voted against.
What do you think, Sudbury? Should Lavender be given the special exemption?

Volume 35, Number 21 Weekly Summary for Jun 25-Jul 1 Issued July 2, 2012 Crop Conditions Decline Very little rain fell in Oklahoma over the last week, with the highest total only 0.61 of an inch in Goodwell. Almost all of the state was considered abnormally dry according to the June 26th Drought Monitor and 48 percent was in a moderate to extreme drought. Precipitation for the period since March 1 was below normal for all districts, and only two-thirds of normal rainfall in the West Central district. Average high temperatures ranged from 98 to 105 degrees across the state's nine climate districts, and a high of 112 degrees was recorded in Buffalo and Freedom this past week. Both the lack of precipitation and the excessive heat continued to affect crops and pastures in the state. Condition ratings fell for all row crops except for peanuts. Hay and pasture conditions also worsened. Producers are already facing decisions about cutting corn and sorghum for hay or silage, and livestock producers are concerned about pasture conditions and stock pond levels. Topsoil moisture conditions were rated mostly short, with 25 percent rated very short. Subsoil moisture conditions were rated short to very short, with 24 percent rated adequate. There were 6.8 days suitable for field work. Small Grains: Plowing of wheat ground was 67 percent complete, 33 points ahead of normal and rye plowing was 57 percent complete. The oat harvest was virtually complete, and plowing of oat ground was 53 percent complete by week's end. Row Crops: Conditions declined under the heat and lack of moisture. Corn and peanuts were rated mostly good while sorghum, soybeans and cotton slipped to mostly good to fair. Sixty percent of corn was silking by Sunday, 13 points ahead of the five-year average, and 17 percent had reached the dough stage. Sorghum planting was 97 percent complete, and 86 percent had emerged by the end of the week, 20 points ahead of normal. Sorghum began heading and was 12 percent complete by Sunday. Soybean planting was virtually complete, and 93 percent had emerged by Sunday, 22 points ahead of normal. Eight percent of soybeans were blooming by the end of the week. Twenty-two percent of the peanut crop was pegging by Sunday, 15 points behind the five-year average. Almost all cotton was emerged by the end of the week, and 23 percent of the cotton crop was squaring by Sunday. Eighty one percent of the watermelon crop was setting fruit by the end of week, ten points ahead of normal. Hay: The 100 degree temperatures are taking their toll on hay production: hay condition ratings continued to decline, rated mostly good to fair. A second cutting of alfalfa was 93 percent complete by the end of the week, and a third cutting was 34 percent complete, still ahead of the five-year average. A first cutting of other hay was 88 percent complete, and a second cutting was 15 percent complete by Sunday. Pasture and Livestock: Pasture and range conditions were rated mostly good to fair, with 22 percent rated poor to very poor. The extreme heat damaged pastures and the lack of run-off has lowered pond levels. Livestock conditions continued to be rated mostly good. Prices for feeder steers less than 800 pounds averaged $153 per cwt. Prices for heifers less than 800 pounds averaged $140 per cwt.

With the introduction of the Silencio 550, Cooler Master ushers in a new era of silent towers by creatively combining smooth styling, strength, and stealth. A true marvel enveloped in a sleek black steel case, it holds the capacity to support the most elaborate computing configurations. The front panel adorns a mirrored high-gloss finish which speaks to the class and elegance only embraced by Cooler Master products. Paramount to the Silencio 550, as the name suggests, are the barely audible tones at which it runs. Sound silencing foam padding deadens the slight reverberations of the fans and the whirrs and clicks of hard drives. Combine this with a solid-steel frame, rubber feet, two Cooler Master quiet-spinning fans and this chassis nearly sheds all forms of noise. It makes it the perfect tower for those who value a quiet computing environment. Within the Silencio 550s simply elegant exterior lays a clean, intuitive, and spacious interior. Three 5.25", seven 3.5", one 2.5" hard drive bays are set inside a solid steel frame. An easily-removable hard drive cage allows computer aficionados to mix and match various hard drives for maximum flexibility and drive space. Lying behind the front panel is an external hot-swappable drive dock for those quick changes on-the-fly. This slot, along with lightning-quick, backwards-compatible USB 3.0 ports and a versatile SD card reader provides the users with a veritable holy trinity of data connectivity options. A surprisingly efficient intake-exhaust cooling system throughout the interior provides for maximum airflow. Should users want to utilize liquid cooling alternatives, the Silencio 550 includes rear retaining holes for an optional water cooling radiator installation. Abundant cooling options, ingenuity, aesthetics, and a reasonable price make this chassis the perfect silent partner for any enthusiast. For more information, visit the product page.
Reminds me of the Cosmos. It has a similar front door and those foam parts on the panels. The effectiveness of the foam is questionable though, It just made my case hotter on the inside.
Plain and simple. I like that. No stupid and ugly side windows, no glowy LED's all over. Just black with piano gloss finish in the front.
Not enough changes for me to warrant a change to this version of the Silencio, though, i do like the idea of the hole for the backplate of the cpu. I dont really like the idea of having a door on the front again though.
Betcha all the gloss means its mostly cheap plastic for doors/etc. Looks nice n all but I'd question cooling ability.
The film Mulholland Drive came into my mind when I hear the word silencio In anycase, I noticed something weird with these cm chassis.. I have this as well on my cm690.. the expansion cards are somewhat not aligned? Its kind of not straight.. youl notice it on the pic.. 6990 is somewhat bent. Heavy card?.. I have an 8800gt before as well.. those were significantly lighter and they were not aligned also on the cm690
Gloss is only on the front door so don't rub on it like you want to have its children and you should be ok.
Hehe, I thought about the same thing. Though I hope that the case is not as complicated to fit parts in as the movie was!

Undercover United States Postal Inspection Service officials and Manatee County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a Manatee County man Aug. 14 for accepting a package containing child pornogoraphy.
According to Manatee County Sheriff's Office reports, an ongoing undercover operation with the United States Postal Inspection Service identified several individuals for purchasing items containing child pornography or child erotica from a commercial company in California. William J. Zimmerman, of the 1200 block of 51st Avenue East, was on a list of more than 700 individuals meeting the criteria of purchasing this type of material.
Zimmerman received correspondence from the USPIS in an undercover capacity (fictitious company letterhead) regarding specific details on available videos that contain that of child pornography, to purchase via a mail order. The descriptions of the videos ordered by Zimmerman via this correspondence were clearly that of hardcore child pornography.
An undercover agent delivered a package containing four DVDs to Zimmerman at about 8:05 a.m., Aug. 14. Zimmerman accepted and signed for the package. At the completion of the controlled delivery, a federal search warrant was executed about six to seven minutes later. The package and its contents were located and recovered in the defendant's bedroom on his bed.
An interview with Zimmerman post-Miranda revealed information not only relating to this investigation but also information about other incidents that may include lewd and lascivious molestration of a minor, the report said. Zimmerman admitted he knew the contents of the package and that it was illegal to order, purchase and possess child pornography. Zimmerman said this was not the first time he has ordered child pornography. During the interview, Zimmerman admitted to downloading and viewing child pornography on his computer.
Zimmerman will be charged with four counts of possession of child pornography, with other charges pending.
Tha Manatee County Sheriff's Office's Internet Crimes Against Children Unit is asking that anyone with information on victims to contact Det. Todd Sellitto at 747-3011, Ext. 1909.

You thank you now look what we have.
Cuyahoga County you've heard the word it took a lot of -- a long time to learn to pronounce it it's Cleveland and surrounding and it is so important that everybody in the world knows.
There are keys to winning for the Republican and a Democrat they -- joining is the Republican national committee chair Bob frost is on your left.
And it didn't do it as -- as -- that Bob lemon crops -- and -- democratic counterpart.
Stewart Stewart -- is on the right gentlemen good afternoon.
Good afternoon -- rob let's start with -- -- the Republicans what's the key in Cuyahoga County which can't be the key to Ohio.
Our key here is turning out are voting counting -- -- but thanks for having me on -- I wanna make sure your viewers know.
That -- -- can deliver the highest vote total of any county in Ohio for governor Romney tomorrow.
We intend to do that we intend that to deliver Ohio's eighteen electoral votes for governor Romney and winning Ohio and winning the press.
-- -- what do you need for numbers there numbers in Kyle accounting for the president to go okay Ohio's all right.
Well we're we're looking for.
2008 numbers perhaps even better but.
2008 we came in and about 258000.
That was sufficient to carry.
To carry out President Obama threw to a victory statewide so we fully expect.
To -- those kind of numbers again.
-- the analysts around here said 250000.
In Cuyahoga county and and Cuyahoga County may well belong to the president and -- Cuyahoga County county belongs to the president Ohio probably belongs to the president.
You buy that.
Well the the president may wind county county but the margin is going to be a lot smaller than it was last time around it won't be 250000.
How we can already see that from the early voting.
There are fewer Democrats voting early this time 171000.
Fewer ballots voted early buyout by Democrats this this time -- 2008.
But we've got 121000 more Republican early ballots cast than than four years ago.
So you're looking at right there is a 29000 votes swing you take that out across the state that's a 300000 votes we -- more in the state of Ohio have more than makes up for the difference.
Stewart is -- and rob to both of you this time.
Two different plans to different ways of approaching.
The ground game -- if we could start with you it's my understanding that the president's ground game offices -- been -- since.
Well before the president was the president some of them.
Well well then that's that this ground game has been has been has been in effect probably show up for maybe a year and a half.
Halfway -- remember we -- we had senate bill five which became an issue to.
Last November of 2011 that was the collective bargaining.
Eradication of collective bargaining for the public unions that really energized.
-- -- Democrats.
And independents and as a result.
There was a lot of effort done by.
By the -- -- failed bombers campaign people were came men and graciously provided a lot of assistance and quite frankly.
Never shut down.
-- on the ground for quite frankly about a year and a half.
Must have did Stuart -- invokes issue too we also had on the ballot last year issue three which was the repudiation of a lot obamacare in Ohio.
It passed in in Cuyahoga County pastor resoundingly.
Across the state of Ohio Ohio and said we don't want obamacare now we have the chance to what governor Romney the next president.
And repeal obamacare so we've been up and running really ever since that effort.
We have 34 now actually victory centers open in Cuyahoga County.
And the difference in the ground game is what the Democrats are doing -- just going out and -- their base in trying to mobilize it.
What we've seen governor Romney do his closing argument has been to reach out to the independent voters he did that here yesterday in Cleveland with a huge rally.
And we're gonna do we're gonna Kerry the independent voting -- accounting.
We're gonna win a larger percentage than you've seen out of -- county county since the Reagan Democrat -- back in the 1980s.
Rob out as the day before how concerned are you.
That tomorrow what everyone's going to be talking about is an op Ed piece about president that governor Romney's stance.
On the auto industry.
I'm not very I think that our governor Romney has an answer that well here in Ohio when he talks very correctly.
About the outsourcing now happening.
With Ohio jobs.
Ohio jobs with Jeep that's not Toledo west of here and now you see -- expanding production in China.
This is what President Obama did I he saved the auto industry so that we could be expanding the the auto jobs in China.
I don't think people are buying it I think the argument is standing and I really think it's about all the president Scott Stewart what I've seen in the -- suggests otherwise.
-- apple first of all not no one -- -- is buying.
Now what is -- governor Romney's.
Notion that's been GM and Chrysler are going to be.
I shipping the jobs over to China.
They're going to be building plants over there for Chinese effort for her for China's consumption.
But -- that that that canard has been shredded by every newspaper and and and and if not just that alone.
The -- -- to CEOs of General Motors and Chrysler both come out repudiated the jobs are staying here in Ohio that's why Ohio one elevator.
-- have jobs are directly connected to the auto industry.
That's why Ohio.
Is doing so well right now and that is why we have one of the lowest unemployment in the state of Ohio is because of the fact that the auto industry is -- And -- and not because we let it go bankrupt but because we provided with essential financing -- at the public's.
At the public's that assistants and this is while I was doing so well.
-- -- -- and rob frost Democrat and Republican Cuyahoga County.
We'll see you see you two gentlemen tomorrow best of luck.
Thank you thank you all right well that's.

Hi All
I have an eeepc 901 running linux mint 10. It has recently started being unable to unmount drives. if I try and unmount by ejecting the drive I get the error message: /bin/umount: 1: Syntax error: EOF in backquote substitution If it try 'umount -a' in a terminal I get the following /bin/umount: line 1: unexpected EOF while looking for matching ``' /bin/umount: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file Googling this turns up issues where there is a ' misplaced in a file somewhere, but nobody seems to have the same issue as this! I've checked grub & fstab and they haven't been modified since first install, /bin/umount isn't readable in any editor I've tried. Incidentally mounting & unmounting ISO files works without issue.... Can anyone shed some light on how to resolve this? Cheers |

P&G recalls some Iams ProActive
Procter & Gamble Co. PG -0.22% said it voluntarily recalled certain bags of Iams ProActive Health Smart Puppy dry dog food, due to detected aflatoxin levels above the accepted limit. Aflatoxins are toxins produced by mold that grows in nuts, corn, wheat, seeds and legumes. Although they are known to cause cancer in animals, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration allows them at low levels because they are considered unavoidable contaminants and pose little risk over a lifetime in occasional and small amounts. P&G recalled 7-, 8- and 17.5-pound bags of the Iams dog food with use by or expiration dates of Feb. 5 or Feb. 6, 2013. The company said no illnesses were reported in relation to the affected product, but it was instituting the recall as a precautionary measure. Pets who consumed the product and exhibit symptoms including sluggishness or lethargy, reluctance to eat, vomiting, yellowish tint in the eyes or gums or diarrhea should be taken to a veterinarian, P&G said. The affected bags were distributed in Alabama, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Maryland, Maine, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Virginia. Those who bought the product are asked to stop using it immediately, throw it out and contact Iams for a replacement voucher. No other P&G pet food products are affected by this recall.

We have owned this toy for about 2 months now. My son is 4 months old now, and he plays with this toy every single day. When he was little he would sit and watch it. I would have to press the button for him, but what I liked is that the song and lights stay on for a little while (maybe 45 seconds??) which is a lot longer than some other toys we have. Once he learned how to push the button himself he became obsessed with this toy! He lays on his side with the turtle in front of him and will play with it for hours if I let him. He also enjoys tummy time when I put this toy in front of him. There is a nice variety of songs and lots of different colored lights. He isn't old enough yet to use the second setting, but I think once he is, he will love that too. He has knocked it off of the couch a few times and it still works perfectly. If anything ever happens to this toy we will buy another one immediately! It is a MUST have.

As much as my daughter loves music she just wasn't that much interested in this toy. I bought it because I read a review that says it moves but it was the opposite. It only plays songs and that's it nothing else. It only keeps her for few seconds and that the most the toy does.

Great toy
By Carrie
from Chicago
Great toy. I just wished it played the music longer. It will be better once my little one is older and can hit the buttons herself.
Amazing toy!!
By Momma bambam
from Wallkill ny
See all my reviews
All you have to do is turn it on and let them push the buttons! My favorite thing is if you switch it to the other setting it teaches your children to mix different sounds together to make a song they like or don't like! It says 3 months but it is best for a older 3 month year old or a 4 month !
Good option for crawlers
By TP
from Chicago, IL
This is a great product for children, my baby enjoys.
Great musical toy for little ones!
By First-time mom
from New Albany
My 6-month old loves this toy. It has helped him learn how to sit up when I put it in front of him. The music has two volumes and is less annoying than many musical toys I've heard! The combo of lights & music will keep him entertained by himself for a while. Absolutely worth the purchase.
Good fun

My one year old loves to jump and dance at this music. It is simple toy but keeps him entertained for few minutes. A little pricey.

By Zmom

This toy has so many things that it keeps my son busy on and off all day. Its nice because its one piece. Also easy to clean
for younger babies
By Emily
from Omaha, NE
I bought this for my 7 month old son and I think he's a little advanced for it. It's a little pricier but it does have lots of different sounds/songs. It would be good for younger babies, 4-6 months, maybe learning to crawl even if they enjoy musical toys it lights up too.
By MisterEsMom
from Wentzville, MO
Got this as a baby gift. My son is almost 5 months old now and he has figured out how to press the buttons for different sounds. He likes that the buttons light up. Pretty good toy.

Preview | Other Dance Festival 2011
Stories from the Other decade of indie dance at Hamlin Park.
With a $5 class series kicking off on September 6, the Other Dance Festival rolls out its tenth anniversary bill, which adds a fourth weekend of performances, workshops, a brunch, alumni who've left Chicago performing live via Skype and more. The fest's home, a second-floor studio theater in Hamlin Park's fieldhouse, is inextricably linked to the Other; repeat participants know the space inside and out, routinely taking advantage of its more unique features, such as a second, raised stage behind the main one.
The Prairie-style, Chicago Park District building, which received its last major updates in the 1930s, hosts basketball, boxing, fencing and other indoor sports. Dance fans often walk into the fest through a crowd gathered for a late-summer baseball game on the diamond outside. "One year, a large group of Balkan folk dancers rented the room across from the theater during a performance," remembers ODF cofounder Kay LaSota. Another year, 300-some boxing fans cheered pugilists sparring downstairs. Dance pieces presented at ODF have historically had "an odd sonic backdrop of punches, grunts, screams and mayhem," LaSota told me via e-mail. "We no longer run ODF during the boxing match, which is in October, and rent the room across the hall to prevent further Balkan intrusion."
In an Early Childhood Learning classroom behind the theater, used as a dressing area for the performers, many of the chairs are pint-sized. ODF's other founding force, Elizabeth Lentz, remembers the spectacle of long-legged dancer-choreographer Sheldon B. Smith perched on one. Lentz, who now teaches dance at the University of Southern Mississippi, plans to return to Chicago for ODF's tenth annual. Her favorite memory of producing the Other is "walking into the theater about ten minutes before we cleared the stage to open the house. [All of the dancers] rolled around on the floor together, warming up, talking about art and bodies and food and making jokes. I was struck by how ODF was really the dance community's living room."
Other stories I heard from past participants:
"In 2003, Lucky Plush [Productions performed] an early version of a work based on Charles Darwin. It was a little too complicated in terms of lights and video, and we blew the circuits in the space. Fortunately, I think that it was a dress rehearsal."—Julia Rhoads, artistic director, Lucky Plush Productions
Behind the raised, secondary stage, there is "an even trippier, hidden prop room. It's a curved corridor about five feet wide that's crammed floor-to-ceiling with props from who-knows-when. When you step inside, the door automatically slams shut, leaving you to grope around in pitch darkness. An eight-foot, glowing nest made out of a couple-hundred gallon milk jugs, two white vinyl trees and three felt dresses have to fit back there for [my performance] this year. I hope Atalee [Judy] from BONEdanse doesn't need to fit her six-foot, foam sandwich costume back there at the same time."—Janet Schmid, independent artist
"Last year was the first time I performed at ODF.… I grabbed the bull by its horns and spoke and improvised in [my solo], which nauseate and terrify me, respectively. That dream, where you show up to your final exam and realize that you've both forgotten to study and to put on pants? That's how I felt, all the way up until dress rehearsal. I hated the piece, until opening night, when some sort of magic happened. The audience was the crucial, missing ingredient."—Jonathan Meyer, Khecari Dance Theatre
"My most memorable ODF was in 2006. It was the Friday-night performance and a huge storm came through, including a tornado that touched down not too far from Hamlin [Park]. The audience and most of the performers were downstairs waiting to see what would happen.… Happily, the show went on; the piece I was showing was a work about my father, who had passed the prior December. I was so grateful to be able to perform it again in his memory."—JulieAnn Graham, independent artist
"My very first professional dance experience [was at ODF] and was the first time I ever got nervous about performing. It was about 90 degrees that night and it was about 99 degrees inside of the Hamlin theater. Margi [Cole, director of the Dance COLEctive] performed a solo that same night in her bra and underwear. The first words out of my mother's mouth weren't about the show, or about my performance. They were to Margi, telling her that I wasn't ever allowed to perform in my bra and underwear!"—Molly Grimm-Leasure, member, the Dance COLEctive
"When I first moved to Chicago, I found out about ODF and decided to volunteer in the box office for all [three] of the weeks. I was fascinated to learn about what was happening here."—Ayako Kato, Dance Union curator and independent artist
"Performing Distractions by Shirley Mordine at the Other Dance Festival this past season was truly magical. It's rare to be able to dance an intimate, sophisticated work in a setting where the quiet, sure artistry of mature performers is not only respected, but deeply valued."—Michael McStraw, executive director, Giordano Jazz Dance Chicago
"Advice for performers in the Other Dance Festival: Convince rising star Matthew Hollis that you need him and that he needs you. Allow Matthew Hollis and his gaggle of cheerleaders to heckle you during dress rehearsal. Turn down all subsequent offers to be in the festival because you are having babies. Return in 2011 and attend all ODF events."—M.K. Victorson, independent artist
The 2011 Other Dance Festival runs September 6–30 at the Hamlin Park Fieldhouse.

BLUE HILL, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- It has been tearful times for people in town, as the community is mourning the loss of three well-known people in Blue Hill who died over the weekend.
51-year old Janet Butler Torrey was the deputy town clerk in Blue Hill for years. She passed away on Saturday morning after suffering a heart attack. The very next day select board chair Duane Gray died at the age of 66.
Friends and family of both people say they were caring and charismatic and loved serving the people of Blue Hill. Janet Torrey lived in the town her entire life and was the proud mother of four daughters.
They say the people she loved serving most were her family.
"I would be at work in the middle of the day and get a text from mom saying 'I love you' and ya know it's so nice," said Nancy Laine Astbury, "she was always thinking of us...every single one of us."
"We were still in a state of shock in a state of grief...trying to plan what we were going to do Monday morning...how we were going to move to fill the void left by Janet's passing," said town selectman John Bannister, "and the next phone call I get is 'You won't believe this Duane just passed'...and you're already numb and now you're even number."
The shock would then continue for Blue Hill on Monday. Former selectman Judy Eaton passed away after a long bought with cancer. She served on Blue Hill's select board many years ago.
Town leaders say for now Duane Gray's seat on the select board will sit vacant. A new selectman will be elected at the next town meeting in April.
Gray owned a pharmacy in Blue Hill and was in the midst of his third term on the select board. He also served on the town's budget committee.
A memorial will be held for Duane Gray inside the gymnasium at George Stevens Academy on Saturday September 29. Memorial services will be held for Janet Torrey on Sunday September 23 at the Blue Hill Baptist Church at 3 p.m.
A fund has been set up in Torrey's honor to support the education of two of her daughters. Contributions can be sent to:
'Janet Butler Torrey Fund' - Care of Ann and Rioux - 211 Turkey Hill Farm Road -- Blue Hill, ME 04614

Most visitors to this town of 2,400 spend time twisting down water slides or floating in wave pools. What almost certainly ranks as one of the most kid-friendly vacation spots in the Heartland revolves around giant indoor and outdoor water parks, such as Mount Olympus (left).
But be sure to see the Dells, the unique, craggy bluffs rising over the Wisconsin River like stacks of sandstone pancakes. Some of the best views are from double-decker excursion boats. And attractions in nearby Baraboo, including Circus World Museum and the International Crane Foundation, are worth leaving the pool for as well.

Commercial drones will soon populate U.S. airspace, and venture capitalists like Tim Draper are placing their bets.
Draper, an early investor in Hotmail, Skype and Baidu, is now backing DroneDeploy, a startup that's building software to direct unmanned aircraft on land mapping and the surveillance of agricultural fields. Draper even expects drones to one day bring him dinner.
"Drones hold the promise of companies anticipating our every need and delivering without human involvement," Draper, 55, wrote in an e-mail. "Everything from pizza delivery to personal shopping can be handled by drones."
Venture investors in the U.S. poured $40.9 million into drone-related startups in the first nine months of this year, more than double the amount for all of 2012, according to data provided to Bloomberg News by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the National Venture Capital Association. Drones are moving from the military, where they've been used to spy on and kill suspected terrorists, to a range of civilian activities.
Congress has directed the Federal Aviation Administration to develop a plan to integrate drones into U.S. airspace by 2015 and to move faster on standards for drones weighing less than 55 pounds.
It's not just startups that are anticipating the changes. ConocoPhillips says that drones could be used to monitor ice floes and marine mammals in the Arctic. Entrants could also include established drone makers AeroVironment Inc., Boeing Co.'s Insitu unit and Israel Aerospace Industries Ltd. in Tel Aviv, according to Bloomberg Government.
Sales of civilian unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, will reach $8.2 billion within the decade, up from nothing today, according to Phil Finnegan, director of corporate analysis at researcher Teal Group, which tracks aerospace and defense.
"There's going to be a lot of growth in this market," Finnegan said.
While the capital invested in drone-related startups has surged, it's still concentrated in just a few companies. Three startups account for all of the money raised in the first nine months of this year, compared with five in all of 2012.
Draper backed DroneDeploy through his Menlo Park, Calif.-based firm, Draper Fisher Jurvetson. Airware, a startup in Newport Beach, Calif., raised $13.3 million earlier this year from investors including Andreessen Horowitz, Google Ventures and First Round Capital to develop customizable autopilots for UAVs that cost about $4,500 to $7,500, according to the company's website.
Airware found it much easier to attract the attention of venture capitalists this year after testing the product with customers, said Chief Executive Officer Jonathan Downey.
"We'd looked at raising money last year, and it was very different," said Downey, who plans to move the company to San Francisco in January.
The business of drones still carries plenty of risks. UAVs will have to occupy parts of the airspace not used by airplanes, and investors don't yet know what the rules will be. Concerns over privacy are most notable given the history of drones as tools used by the government and military.
The American Civil Liberties Union has warned of the possibility of a "surveillance society" spurred by drones. "The only way to avoid this dystopian future and prevent mass, suspicionless searches of the general population is to ensure that information collected by drones for one purpose cannot be used for another purpose," Allie Bohm, a strategist for the ACLU, wrote in an August blog post.
Andy Wheeler, a partner at Google Ventures, said drones are moving into the mainstream because of the steep drop in the cost of sensors, which have been mass produced for smartphones. The plunge in costs helped convince Google Ventures to invest in Airware as well as another drone-related startup, Wheeler said, declining to say which one.
"We are talking orders of magnitude lower than military technology," Wheeler said, referring to the prices for commercial equipment.
While DroneDeploy is building software and Airware is developing systems, some startups are focusing on services. Matternet Inc., funded by Andreessen Horowitz, aims to use drones for delivery of items such as mail and medical supplies.
Bloomberg LP, the parent of Bloomberg News, is an investor in Andreessen Horowitz.
Firefighters and law enforcement officials are likely to be some of the early beneficiaries of the drop in costs, said Kent Goldman, a partner at First Round Capital in San Francisco.
"I see a bright future for non-military applications," he said.

Gweithgar wrote:Thinking more about this thread...
Before I started McDougalling, I was aware that vegetarian or even vegan eating was a healthy way to go, but I was very resistant to the idea of "giving up" meat and dairy. I didn't think it would be truly healthy to do so, and felt like there were too many fanatical plant-eaters out there. I didn't want to be the "weird one". I honestly think that if anyone had leaned hard on me at that time to accept a vegan diet, I might still be eating my Sally Fallon "Traditional" diet. I had to come around to it in my own way and my own time. I had to fight against it before I was ready to embrace it. So maybe that just makes me unusually stubborn, or something (gee, ya think?!); but I really don't think you can badger anyone into healthy eating unless they are already set to make the switch, and even then you need to tread lightly. You can offer a good example, and maybe point them toward some good books, but it has to be done gently. You can encourage and support them once they take the plunge, but it has to be their own decision.
