text: Home Culture Get Busy Online, Then Quickly Take It Offline Ask Demetria: Finding your mate may be a click away, but meeting in person is key. By: Demetria L. Lucas Posted: Aug. 9 2012 12:13 AM 0 Thinkstock (The Root) -- "I'm in my 30s and haven't had much luck dating. Where I live, there aren't very many options to meet the type of guy I like. I'm a little embarrassed that it's come to this and nervous about who I'll meet, but I am finally ready to try online dating. Any thoughts or anything I should be wary of?" --A.E. Good for you! I encourage online dating, although I've always thought of the term as a bit of a misnomer. Online is a great place to meet people, but you shouldn't "date" them there. "Dating" should be reserved for the real world (more on that in a moment). A single woman who doesn't wish to be single, or is just looking for some dating fun, should be exploring all of her options. There's no reason to be "embarrassed." Online is the third-most-popular way for singles to meet, according to a 2010 Match.com study (pdf). (Work or school is the most popular, followed closely by a hookup from a friend or family member.) The same study claimed that one out of every five singles in the U.S. have dated someone they met online. I suggest taking a similar approach to meeting guys that I would takein the real world. Since you have a "type" that you like, then sign up for a site where you will be most likely to find him. If your "type" is largely based on personality, aim for sites with the most people so you have the most options. But if your "type" is more specific, like "Christian," "single parent" or even "wealthy," head to a niche site where you'll find folk who at the very least identify heavily with whatever it is you're looking for. Just like showing up to an event hoping to meet new people, you'll need to put in some effort to meet who you like online. Signing up isn't enough to get results. That means you will need to think carefully about your presentation, i.e., what picture you select for your profile and how you describe yourself there. You'll also have to put in some work to seem friendly and approachable, and with more than just a flattering picture with an engaging smile, though that helps tremendously. Scroll through the profiles and contact people in whom you're interested. A compliment on a photo or something mentioned in a profile and a question to get him talking will have a similar effect online as they do in the real world -- if the guy is interested. Don't take it personally if you don't get a response. The lack of face-to-face interaction makes people less likely to use their social etiquette. It's just the nature of the Internet. Once you get a response from someone you're interested in, or you get a message from someone who sparks your interest, trade a few emails. (Note: Writing back and forth isn't dating; it's having a technology-savvy pen pal.) Then quickly take the "conversation" offline within a week. (If you're squeamish about giving out your number, get a dedicated line for online dating via Google voice.) After a couple of phone conversations to gauge if there's chemistry or common interests, suggest that you meet in person in a safe, open public space, of course. If he can't meet up soon for any reason, move on. This timeline may seem fast for some, but what I'm trying to help you avoid is getting caught up in some of the mind games that come with online dating. I've been privy to horror stories where hopeful women head online for companionship, get stuck in the instant messaging or phone-talking phase and become emotionally caught up in guys who are figments of an imagination at best, or straight-up liars at worst. Of course, people can pretend to be someone they aren't in person, too, but it's by far easier to create a charming persona or hide a wife when you're operating behind the anonymity of a screen or phone line.

Beautiful, but I think their tile designs are more done for beauty than functionality. They look hard to distinguish between. Ideally each piece would be made of a radically different colored wood to begin with, and then etched very differently.
[–]dkey1983 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
Well, you could in theory at least stain the different pieces different colors.

My exact thought when I saw this board on Etsy. Who in the fuck would actually want to play Catan on a monochromatic board?
Roughly 350 people.
[–]Superhans18 -1 points0 points1 point 11 months ago
Hah. I'd argue half of them play on the board a couple times then realize it sucks. The other half convince themselves it's good and keep playing on it because they are stubborn and just spend $300 on a board game they already owned.
[–]themooninthesky 0 points1 point2 points 11 months ago
One of the many reasons I want the Star Trek version of Catan. The pieces fit together beautifully, and the colours. It's just well made, and gorgeous.
Also. Star Trek.

A trail alongside the Pigeon River may materialize between Canton and Clyde, but recreation will not be its primary purpose.
The goal is to create a buffer zone clear of any development 100 feet from the riverbank as a safeguard in the event of future floods. The buffer strip could additionally be used as a walking trail or biking trail beside the river.
"It's much more than a recreational use — it's mitigating a flood hazard," said Canton Town Manager Al Matthews.
Haywood County, along with the towns of Canton and Clyde, undertook the project shortly after massive flooding on the Pigeon left a devastating wake in 2004.
All three worked together to lock down $1 million from the state Clean Water Management Trust Fund. Though that is far less than the $10 million they originally applied for, the trio still has a chance of receiving additional funding from Clean Water.
Most of the work on the trail now involves acquiring conservation easements for nearly 100 properties in the flood plain next to the river, a process that could take years.
Property owners will be reimbursed for participating with a share of the $1 million that's been set aside.
Though the program would be mutually beneficial to both landowners and the river, it will be strictly voluntary, according to Tony Sexton, project specialist for Haywood County.
For those who participate, farming alongside the Pigeon could continue, though building new structures would be forbidden.
For now, Sexton is not positive a full-fledged greenway will be achievable. He anticipates a checkerboard effect of conservation easements along the river.
"It's unusual to get three or four property owners in a row that ever agree on anything," said Sexton. "The odds of having a continuous swath of property owners is fairly remote."
Asheville-based Martin-McGill Associates is coordinating the project and will be responsible for acquiring properties or negotiating conservation easements with property owners.
While everyone hopes that the 2004 disaster won't repeat itself, a buffer would be helpful in case another major flood strikes, said Ellen McKinnon, grant administrator with Martin-McGill.
"This is a proactive thing to do before the next flood," said Sexton.
McKinnon has begun talking to property owners about the easements, but still spends most of her time with paperwork at this stage.
Sexton agreed that securing the $1 million grant has been a drawn-out process.
"There's lots of hoops to be jumped through and committees that only meet once every three months," said Sexton.
Nevertheless, enthusiasm for the project hasn't faded over the years.
"What we're trying to do is make the Pigeon River as healthy as possible, so that it can handle the influx of water," said McKinnon. "These buffers are incredibly helpful to keep the banks stable and keep that sedimentation out of the water."
"We are excited," said Joy Garland, town administrator for Clyde. "It's a great opportunity for the towns, as well as the county."

Storytelling in San Francisco
Sunday, August 23rd, 2009I'm on vacation but I have an inspiration for a post so I'm writing this from Berkeley, California.
Seven years ago Beth Lisick and Arline Klatte invited six people from different backgrounds to tell ten-minute true stories at a San Francisco club. Porchlight Storytelling was successful from the start, attracting a diverse Bay Area audience and storytellers from hipsters to dotcom execs. I went to a show about 6 years ago and loved it so much that I imported the model to Tucson.
Writer/performer Beth (disclaimer, she's my daughter-in-law) told me about the beginnings of Porchlight. She was invited to tell a story at The Moth, the New York City storytelling event that came to San Francisco for a show, and a club owner suggested that she start a storytelling event in San Francisco. Since she was involved in the poetry slam community where it was common to start new events, she decided to just do it.
Beth and Arline are easygoing hosts at this popular monthly event that attracts hundreds of people. They're a good team because they have different connections so they can feature a diverse group of storytellers.
Although it's difficult to get everyone together for a rehearsal, Beth says it makes a better and more cohesive show when all the storytellers can hear each other's story and get and give feedback.
Mostly the stories are well received but they did have an unpleasant surprise once when a volunteer from the audience told an unrehearsed story that turned out to be racist. When Arline and Beth returned to the stage they weren't sure how to handle it so they announced that they don't agree with the views and opinion of all the storytellers.
After six years of running the event on their own, Porchlight was picked up for sponsorship by Friends of the San Francisco Library. Beth and Arline are branching out into teaching and will be presenting a four-week workshops at Intersection for the Arts in San Francisco.
Beth, besides being a published author, is half of the comedy duo Groomed for Success with Tara Jepsen, and she's working on another book.

I love how the one behind him has the fuck this shit face.
i think...it's an otter...but im not very sure about that
I think it might be an otter and some shit taxidermy.
It's no otter I'VE ever seen before. I think that MAY be the face of a mudpuppy and the body of a terrible accident with a sheet of LSD.
I don't know what it is either, but it makes me very, very sad. I just want to pet him and tell him that he's fucking weird as shit, but that's what makes him so adorable.
I kinda wish they sold him in a pet store.
lol sweet.
He kind of looks like he could be a Dr Seuss character, too.
Yeah, he definitely has a Lorax thing happening. Like, if the Lorax didn't have a mustache.

Former judge Stanley C. Young, Jr., "Spike" as he was most commonly known, died peacefully in his sleep Jan. 1, 2010 in Reno, leaving the county with a lifelong legacy of both professional and community service. He was 84.
He leaves behind his wife of 31 years, Louise, and seven children.
Young's life was a slice of Plumas County history. His grandfather, John C. Young, owned and operated several businesses and a dairy in Indian Valley in the 1860s, after he and two of his brothers migrated from Canada to stake their claim during the Gold Rush. Young's Market in Taylorsville carries the family name.
As a youngster, Young's father, Stanley Sr., worked at the family dairy. Eventually, Young Sr. obtained his law degree and began practicing in Quincy. After graduating from Quincy High School in 1944 and San Jose State in 1948 with a degree in history, Young Jr., who always admired and respected his father, also decided to pursue a career in law and went on to earn his degree from Hastings School of Law in 1952.
After passing the state bar exam, Young returned to Quincy in 1953 to establish what became a distinguished career as an attorney, prosecutor and Plumas County Superior Court judge.
He started out as a partner in a law firm with his father until 1964, when Young Sr. began phasing himself out of the practice. About that same time, Young Jr. was offered and accepted a position as deputy district attorney and was subsequently elected the county's district attorney in 1965.
While serving as Plumas County's DA, Young prosecuted the case involving George Parell, who was accused of arson in the infamous fire at the historic Quincy Hotel. Young often lamented to friends that it was a trial he felt he should never have lost and one, as it turned out, he would never forget.
In 1969, Young Jr. was appointed Plumas County Superior Court judge by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan, succeeding Bertram Janes, who was appointed to the Third District Court of Appeals. Judge Young presided over the court—running unopposed for re-election every six years—until 1989, when he felt it was time to step aside and let someone a little younger take his place. That paved the way for what became the county's first contested election for judge.
But Young, who was quoted once as saying he loved the "fascinating dilemma law presents," wasn't quite ready to completely retire, so he spent the next two decades as a sitting assignment judge, mediator and arbitrator.
He told friends his last—and most daunting—trial a few years ago took him to Mendocino County to preside over a gruesome 1986 murder involving four members of the Hells Angels who were ultimately convicted.
Young's list of accomplishments was long and impressive. He was very active in the community. Rarely was there a public or private event where he wasn't asked to be the master of ceremonies.
He was a member of the Rotary Club for 62 years, again proudly following in his father's footsteps. Young Sr. was a founding member and the service club's first president.
At the encouragement of some community leaders, he ran for the Assembly in 1968, losing his one and only bid for state office to Pauline Davis.
In 1979, as an outgrowth of a highway safety project instituted by Quincy Rotary, Young headed an impressive movement that included several local business and community leaders asking Caltrans and state lawmakers to make immediate and long-overdue improvements to state Highway 70.
Their efforts ultimately resulted in the addition of more guardrails, turnouts and passing lanes in the Feather River Canyon.
In the early 1980s, he and Louise owned and she operated a restaurant in Quincy, Gansner Bar and Grill.
In that same timeframe, Young and three associates purchased the land the Quincy Hotel once occupied that is now Dame Shirley Plaza. Their hope was to build a hotel and convention center on the site, only to find out after years of exhaustive research it wouldn't be feasible.
Scott Lawson, Plumas County Museum director, who also served on the Townhall Association board with Young, said he will remember Spike for his appreciation of local history and the county's heritage, but added that Spike also keep looking forward for ways to better the community.
"We lost a true county icon with his passing," Superior Court Judge Ira Kaufman said, adding that in the courtroom and on the street Young really knew what he was doing. "He truly had a sense of the county and the people in it."
Judge Janet Hilde said, "Judge Young was a wonderful, supportive role model for me. In addition to being a well-respected judge in our county and around the state, he was truly dedicated to his community and affected many people's lives in a positive way."
Young's lifelong best friend, former county supervisor Jim Gossett took the news of his passing hard. "From the time we attended grammar school to the present, we were as close as any two people could be. I learned a lot from Spike and loved his sense of humor. I'll miss him."
As of press time, services are tentatively planned for Saturday, Jan. 16, at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Quincy. His full obituary and details will appear in next week's newspaper.

Paranormal Activity
After all the hysteria and hoopla surrounding 1999's Blair Witch Project died down, the "found footage" niche more or less disappeared for nearly a decade. Then came Oren Peli's Paranormal Activity , and suddenly, this subgenre exploded all over again, and in much grander fashion than before. And not without reason, either. While Blair Witch is still hailed as a genre classic by some, and even as one of the most influential films of all time by a few, it was really just a movie about a few scared kids wandering lost in the woods until they met a grisly end that was left largely to the imagination of the viewer. It did a decent enough job establishing a creepy atmosphere the first time around, but it had no replay value to speak of, and it's lack of any kind of formal script did not exactly model a formula that most filmmakers would want to follow. Paranormal Activity tweaked that formula instead of merely ripping it off.
Basically the only things that the two films have in common is that they are both shot with home video cameras owned by characters in the movies, they were both made on small budgets, and they both feature actors with the same first names as their characters. Paranormal Activity not only benefits from a fully cooked script, it also reaps the reward of a story that is simply more engaging and more fully realized by its actors. This was the first found footage film that truly felt like a real movie, with a coherent beginning, middle and end. Finally, studios had a formula for success that they could easily glom onto, although it speaks to the quality of the Paranormal films that most of the other attempts at riffing on the same tune have been vastly inferior.
One of the benefits of having an actual script is that the characters in Paranormal Activity are easier to wrap your arms around. Rather than spending most of their screen time wandering around panicking and screaming in the wilderness, the viewer is invited into the home and personal lives of Micah (Micah Sloat) and Katie (Katie Featherston). We get to watch as they become increasingly uncomfortable in their own home due to the escalating haunting that becomes ever more obvious and malevolent. We are also given just enough backstory to know that Katie has been a haunted individual for most of her life, which makes it more believable when she decides to seek out the help of a psychic (Mark Fredrichs). When the psychic makes it known that what Katie and Micah face is no run of the mill ghost, but an actual demon from Hell who has never been human, and who will stop at nothing to claim Katie for its own, Katie's fear elevates to a palpable level. Micah's resolve to catch the entity on tape is reinforced by this news as well, even though he is still reluctant to believe that something supernatural is truly going on, and despite Katie's protestations that the video camera is making things worse.
Now, before I go any further, it behooves me to say that I am not one of those people who reflexively likes just any "found footage" movie, nor am I the type of person who thinks that "less is always more" when it comes to the question of whether the "monster" should be shown to the audience or left to their imagination in this type of film. Sometimes, leaving a lot to the imagination can be spectacularly effective. Other times, it's a blatant cop-out, and an admission that the creators of the film couldn't come up with any truly scary visuals. However, Paranormal Activity is a film that I truly feel is a near perfect example of the "found footage" premise done right. Moreover, it rather skillfully sidesteps the whole "less is more" or "more is more" debate by finding a middle ground in which the audience does get tons of creepy and well-executed visuals without ever seeing a fully revealed demonic entity. The fact that the demon never abandons its invisibility to the human eye makes it all the more scary as its attacks on Katie and Micah become more and more fierce. What starts with doors slamming and blankets lifting seemingly by themselves soon graduates to Ouija boards spontaneously bursting into flame, main characters being yanked bodily from their bed and dragged down hallways, and bruises and bite marks that are inflicted upon them while they sleep. Soon after, the demon demonstrates that it has the ability to affect Katie's mental state as well, and even control her to a degree is that not fully revealed until the shattering ending (or endings, more accurately, since there are at least a half dozen alternate ones floating around out there).
As well-crafted as these moments are, some of the smaller, quieter moments in Paranormal Activity are perhaps even more effective. When Katie finds a singed picture in the attic that should have been lost in a house fire when she was a little girl, both she and the audience know what that implies. When Micah sprinkles baby powder in the doorway to their bedroom, only to find hoof prints tracked through the powder the next morning, the viewer can feel the same eerie feeling that the characters do upon seeing tracks leading into the room with them, but none leading out . And when the psychic is called for a return visit, only to refuse to take more than a step into the house and immediately bidding a hasty retreat, we pretty much know that these characters are doomed, and have no other resources to turn to for help.
As is the case with a lot of these types of movies, Paranormal Activity is not a film with a high body count, opting instead to drop us into the lives of 2 main characters as a shapeless evil they can scarcely understand unravels them. A big part of the leg up this movie has on other films that employ similar tactics is the charisma of Sloat and Featherston, as well as the chemistry they have together. The script gave them the bare bones they needed to establish that chemistry, but Peli's competence as a director and the skill of the actors themselves kicks it up more than a few notches. Another cool little touch is the fact that the movie counts out every night of filming on screen for the viewer. When it flashes "Night 1", we know we can probably still feel a little relaxed, because surely the worst is yet to come. But by the time we get to "Night 5", the film has effectively established that all bets are off and anything can happen, because the severity of the haunting has been steadily increasing every single evening.
I have always thought that this film had more replay value than most movies of its ilk, but I did initially fear that I might get sick of it after a handful of viewings. However, the direction chosen for the sequels, which have thus far made every installment another chapter of a continuing story told backwards, lends more enjoyment to each previous installment every time a new film in the franchise is released. It's actually even more fun now to go back and see how the events of Paranormal Activity inform the events of PA2 and PA3.
There is a vocal minority out there who finds the entire Paranormal Activity franchise boring and unimpressive. While opinions of any movie will always run the gamut, it's my theory that a lot of these people simply did not approach the first film with an open mind, and have never given the franchise a serious second look. While this first entry does not slash up a dozen drunken teenagers, or boast any cat-and-mouse chase sequences, it excels at presenting a realistic and intimate view of a lovely young couple battling a force they cannot hope to defeat, and the fact that it moves at the speed of real life is sort of the point. Sure, there are moments that don't exactly crackle with excitement, just as there are mundane moments in the lives of most real people who are simply hanging out at their own houses. But even these moments add to the characters of Katie and Micah, helping to establish their personalities and making the love they share ring true. Although the shit does indeed hit the fan soon after, quickening the pace of the movie, I personally would not have cared nearly as much about anything that happened to these characters if those seemingly ordinary moments earlier on had not so skillfully drawn me into their lives. To me, Paranormal Activity represents a damn fine opening volley in a franchise with true staying power that has reshaped the landscape of horror movies the way no other film had since Scream. There will always be people out there who want to tear down any movie that proves to be influential, but in my opinion, Paranormal Activity is influential because it deserves to be. Just like the demon that wreaks so much havoc throughout the film, this movie is a force to be reckoned with that refuses to be forgotten.
I should have time to crank these things out a bit faster over the next few days, so be on the lookout for my next installment!

Westmont woman sheds 100-plus pounds
WESTMONT – With the amount of weight-loss programs and diet plans out there, it's difficult to find the one that works, but a Westmont native has discovered the secret: a positive attitude.
Tracy Hermanek said people comment more on how much she smiles rather than the 100-plus pounds she has lost over the past 15 months.
"People respond better to me not just because I look better, but also because my attitude is better," Hermanek said.

Volunteer for NIAID-funded clinical studies related to tuberculosis on ClinicalTrials.gov.
Most babies born to HIV-infected mothers receive the bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine to prevent TB. However, this study supports earlier recommendations that HIV-infected infants should not receive this vaccine. In this study, researchers measured the immune response of three different groups of infants: 1) HIV-negative infants born to HIV-negative mothers; 2) HIV-negative infants born to HIV-positive mothers; and 3) HIV-positive infants, at 3, 6, and 9 months after vaccination with the BCG vaccine. T cells, which are produced by the immune system in response to vaccination, were found in lower numbers in HIV-positive infants and were virtually absent in those infants later in the first year of life. The recommendation to discontinue this vaccination in HIV-positive infants is further confirmed by the fact that BCGosis, an infection caused by the live bacterium in this vaccine, is a common side effect.

If you're travelling as far afield as Australia you'll want to spend some time there and get under the skin of the land Down Under. Taking flights to Sydney are a great starting point. In the Harbour City be prepared to have the time of your life. It's a modern and multi-cultural, some call it brash. This city has established itself as world-class whatever your interest – sport, nightlife, culture or food. Make a beeline for Sydney's famous harbour where you can find plenty to do. First, make sure you head for the iconic orange-segment shaped Opera House. Catch a show here in the evening and marvel at the sight of the city and harbour by night. A boat ride across the harbour by day offers a great view of the city's business centre, its impressive skyline and the rest of the beautiful harbour of course.
After your long flight to Sydney you'll want to stretch your legs. Those who like an adrenalin rush should consider scaling the Harbour Bridge. For a more relaxing time, to get over the jet lag from those direct flights to Sydney, hit Bondi Beach, where you can soak up the Aussie sun, take a dip in the ocean or try surfing. In Oz, sport is a way of life and there are plenty of reminders of this, including the Olympic stadium, built for the sporting event that was held in Sydney in 2000. It's a worthwhile visit, whether an Aussie Rules match is taking place or not. Foodies who endured cardboard-like meals on their Sydney flight won't be disappointed. In the land of the BBQ, seafood and meats are outstanding, and the broad range of restaurants in the city centre reflects the diversity of its residents. Sydney is flamin' marvellous.

A longtime Keys woman who recently beat back cancer died in a motorcycle crash over the weekend.
Marathon resident Marlin Joyce Gunter died in a Saturday near mile marker 29. According to several of Gunter's friends, the 51-year-old had just recently overcome cancer related to hepatitis C and was working to regain her physical strength.
Her funeral is Friday.
An avid biking enthusiast, Gunter was a lifetime member and longtime board member of the Southernmost Chapter of American Bikers Aimed Toward Education, or ABATE. Her illness had kept her away from riding until very recently.
"She just spent the last year fighting [cancer] and she beat it. We had a benefit for her just last year and she finally beat it and this tragedy happened," longtime friend Garry Finch said.
Gunter died Saturday afternoon where she'd spent many of her happiest times here in the Keys on the back of a motorcycle.
"She loved riding. I've ridden many miles with her. She didn't ride but she was always on the back of somebody's bike," Finch said.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Gunter was aboard a 2004 Harley Davidson ridden by fellow Marathon resident Thomas Bateman, 51, just south of Big Pine Key.
They were reportedly rear-ended by a 1993 Chevrolet driven by 50-year-old Big Pine resident Eric McHenry, which pushed the motorcycle into the rear of a 1990 Jeep driven by Tavernier resident Dean McGinnis.
According to the FHP, Gunter and Bateman were thrown from the motorcycle onto the highway. Gunter was confirmed dead at Fishermen's Community Hospital.
Bateman remains in critical condition at Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami. He is reportedly in an induced coma.
Most recently, Gunter, who many described as a hard worker, had been driving the well-known golf cart at Castaway Restaurant that transports customers from parking spaces down the street.
"It's very sad. Joyce was a great lady, Castaway owner John Mirabella said. She had taken about the last eight months off. She just got off that and started driving the cart like two weeks ago. She had a big heart and everyone loved her/
According to the Monroe County Sheriff's Office, there were 21 traffic accidents reported during the busy Fantasy Fest weekend from Friday until 8:30 a.m. Sunday. Gunter's was the 17th traffic-related death this year south of Florida City.
There is a celebration of life for Gunter scheduled for Friday at the Brass Monkey Lounge, in Marathon's Kmart plaza, from 5 until 7 p.m. Her ashes will be spread Saturday morning, with details about the location to be provided at Friday's celebration.

Councilmember Steve Kozachik ("The Koz") to speak at Drinking Liberally
Monday, April 2nd, 2012On March 24 I reported that Drinking Liberally has moved their weekly meetings to Wednesday evenings (click here for background of this group).
This Wednesday April 4, the invited guest speaker will be Ward 6 Republican Councilmember Steve Kozachik, who was elected in Nov. 2009, upsetting incumbent Democratic Councilmember Nina Trasoff. The email notice from Drinking Liberally states:
Steve has been busy butting heads with his own party over the recent spate of state bills aimed squarely at Tucson and Pima County, and over the Rio Nuevo board appointed to 'fix' our TIF district.
Drop by The Shanty (NE corner of E. 9th St. and 4th Avenue) after 6 p.m. to hear "The Koz" speak on these City of Tucson issues, and to answer questions.
More info on Councilmember Kozachik (click here).
Other Republicans who have been invited to speak at Drinking Liberally in the past (as far as I remember) have been LD 30 State Senator Frank Antenori, former LD 30 Senator Jonathan Paton and House Rep. Marian McClure, and District 4 Pima County Supervisor Ray Carroll.

I guess Alec Baldwin and folks who won't shut off their iPhones aren't the only problems in the air these days.
Twice in the last week we've had flight attendants going at it. The first incident involved two flight attendants on an American Eagle flight from New York to Washington getting into it. The plane had to be brought back to the gate and passengers waited FOUR HOURS for a new crew, according to travelmole.com. Yikes, would that piss you off or what?
The latest brouhaha came when attendants on a United flight from Raleigh-Durham to Chicago got into a knockdown fight that was so vicious the pilot had to go back to the airport in Carolina. The Raleigh-Durham News and Observer said no arrests were made as there was no physical assault.
Travelmole said the pair "had been in a prior altercation and the accidental brush of a leg while attendants were seat near each other was the start of the incident."
Can't we all just get along?
It sounds like the Ford brothers are making inroads into New York City. That may be a little unfair, but it's interesting to read an Associated Press report Thursday that tells how the world's biggest Ferris wheel is to be built on Staten Island.
I hadn't heard the phrase, but apparently some folks call Staten Island New York City's "forgotten borough." That might be better than being the Bronx and being known for crime and terrible housing, but Staten Island tourism types no doubt look at the growing cultural/hotel/food/bar scene in Queen's and, especially, Brooklyn and wonder why they can't get a piece.
The wheel will be 625 feet tall (191 meters), higher than the London Eye and the Singapore Flyer and a "High Roller" wheel planned for, where else, Las Vegas.
Riders will get tremendous views of the New York harbour, including the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. Good views also should be had of the financial district and Donald Trump's ego which infairness, is visible from Delaware.
The package also is supposed to include a 200-room hotel and a 100-shop outlet mall.
"The New York Wheel will be an attraction unlike any other in New York City - even unlike any other on the planet," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
The Staten Island Ferry, which is free, is a nice attraction, but it sounds like it's mostly for commuters and that most tourists simply take the boat for the views.
Staten Island is the only New York borough not accessible by subway. But it does have its attractions, including a minor league ballpark and, this is hilarious, a groundhog called Staten Island Chuck. Chuck is supposed to be able to predict the onset of spring, much like Wiarton Willie in Ontario or Punxsutawney Phil in Pennsylvania. It's not clear in the AP story if Chuck is much of a prognosticator, but he does have the distinction of having once bitten Bloomberg.
Now THAT'S a photo op.

Beware of Blipdar, an anonymous dumping ground for slander, insults and cyberbullying
1 Oct
(CBS) – As if we didn't have enough to worry about in this wired modern society. After getting trapped in a chain of links, I stumbled upon a college site that literally caused my jaw to drop.
Blipdar launched in June of 2011 after a change of name and ownership in January. Originally called College Anonymous Confession Board (ACB), the site launched in 2008 and provided a forum for college students to post anonymously about any topic they wish. More often than not, topics are of other students.
After reading a few threads in the Relationships and Love area, I was flabbergasted. And I'm not easily shocked. The topic ranged from wildly inappropriate to downright rude. Students, who were accused of being promiscuous, also had their identity posted. Some were rumored to be serial date rapists or having STDs. Fear!
Nothing is sacred
Many of these allegations had full names, phone numbers and Facebook profiles to identify the person in question. Some names were redacted, but most were not. We can only speculate that the moderators received earnest requests from concerned parties.
The implications of sites like this can be best demonstrated with a plea for help from a helpless parent. It's the worst form of cyberbullying we've ever seen.
Is your child being cyberbullied?
How to spy on your kids online
I discovered a post on an unrelated help forum from a parent asking how to remove their daughter's name from a Google search result, which lead to a slanderous post on Blipdar. Yikes!
Yes, Blipdar's posts are indexed by Google and their SEO ranking is high. When I ran a search of a student that was being slandered badly on the site, Blipdar's results were second only to YouTube, but above Twitter.
Blipdar's predecessor, College ACB, stirred up controversy on college campuses with countless students threatening lawsuits. The site was operated by Peter Frank from February of 2009 to January of 2011, before selling his share to an undisclosed buyer. FYI, the domain's new owners have a proxy to protect their identity. Figures.
The site's mission statement says they champion anonymity because "everyone has something that they're afraid to say out loud." Speaking of the collective community, Blipdar states, "to censor words is to censor ideas."
While Blipdar doesn't have the immense popularity of College ACB – Frank claimed to have garnered 900,000 page views in a day – it's damaging nonetheless. The most discouraging aspect to this story is that these bulletin boards have the potential for honest engagement.
How can you protect yourself?
If you find your identity or phone number posted on these sites, email Blipdar directly and ask them to pull down your information.
Unfortunately in the the case of Blipdar, they claim to continuously dump IP addresses, so that they do not store any information. Therefor, in theory, they would not be able to identify the accused poster.
I spoke with retired FBI special agent Jeff Lanza on how a person could fight anonymous slander. Aside from contacting the person or site directly, you could hire a reputation defender or beat them at their own game. Creating social media profiles, blogs and websites with good content associated with your name is a way to beat the offending site at their own game.
I reached out to Blipdar, but have yet to get a response.

The cautionary tale here is that we've definitely entered an age where Googling yourself is not a vanity move, it's a matter of defending your reputation.

Senior lineman keeps head in game despite foot injury
CAROL STREAM – Although he has yet to wrap up his high school football career, Eric Graham has begun to think about getting into coaching.
And for the past two weeks, the Glenbard North senior offensive lineman has gotten an early glimpse into that world.
Sidelined since the season opener due to a stress fracture in his right foot, Graham is doing the best he can to help out his replacement, junior Axel Vargas.

WAG's October 5 Show Spotlights Luisiana Mera and Jason R. Reed
Watkins College of Art, Design & Film presents "bodies of work" by Luisiana Mera and Jason R. Reed, which includes paintings, drawings and photography of the human form, at its downtown gallery WAG during the October 5 edition of the First Saturday Art Crawl.
WAG – an acronym for Watkins Arcade Gallery – is located in suite 77 upstairs in the historic Arcade and is open the first Saturday evening of the month during each Art Crawl, which runs from 6-9 p.m., and by appointment.
Mera, a junior Fine Art major, reveals Indefinite Beauty, with two series of portraits – "Chelsea," in oil and "Nostalgia," in charcoal – that offer contemporary updating of figure studies within a classical tradition. Born and reared in Panama, Mera was part of a strict, technique-driven classical ballet school for 10 years before moving to the United States at age 18. Particularly influenced by the Baroque, her work serves to reject societal and cultural perceptions of beauty and the body, imposed by forces such as family and church, by simultaneously referencing and rejecting classical aesthetic and practice.
Reed, a junior Photography major from International Falls, MN, will display a series of intaglio prints titled Ecdysis, after the process whereby an animal, such as a snake, sheds its skin because it has outgrown it. The work [originating from digital photographs by Reed] explores how a transitional period might affect one emotionally at different points throughout life.
"Both artists are investigating the body from a physical and emotional place as a container of meaning and symbolism," said Kristi Hargrove, Fine Art department chair and WAG faculty liaison. "Questions of assumptive beauty and transformation are critical themes in their process as they challenge the viewer to step beyond technique and story to question the malleable, shifting and changing conditions of the collective 'body'."
The Watkins Arcade Gallery – WAG – is a public exhibition space of Watkins College of Art, Design & Film committed to serving the College community and the community at large through exhibitions and programs that enhance curriculum as well as engage a greater audience in the visual arts. WAG is dedicated to supporting the educational and cultural mission of the College by encouraging students to think independently and creatively about their art practice and role as critical thinkers within the cultural landscape. The venue will present shows year-round featuring work by Watkins students, alumni and other professional artists.
WAG joins approximately 20 participating Art Crawl galleries along Fifth Avenue of the Arts and upstairs in the Historic Arcade. Admission is free, and the Nashville Downtown Partnership provides two free shuttles traveling among the venues. For more information on the First Saturday Art Crawl, visit www.nashvilledowntown.com/play/first-saturday-art-crawl.
WAG is the second Watkins-run gallery space, joining the Brownlee O. Currey, Jr. Gallery, the primary exhibiting space on the College's campus in Metro Center. Currey presents a year-round schedule of two- and three-dimensional artwork, as well as multi-media installations including sound, video and performance, by students, faculty and visiting artists. Admission and parking are free.
