11/03/2010, Cape May, New Jersey
The next good stop on our way was Cape May and it is a long way from Barnegat Inlet. We started out as soon as we could see. Since it was a clear morning, we were on our way at 6:50 AM.
We motored in light wind for about 3 hours. The wind picked up and from a favorable direction so we set the sails. We got all three sails flying (main, genoa and staysail) and the wind immediately dropped off. Within a half hour we had the genoa and staysail furled again and were motor-sailing with just the main. That was a lot of work without any gain. You can see in the picture how hard Fuzzy was working. That's his typical sailing position.
We might have had better speed under sail, but the prop wouldn't set again. We had this problem earlier this summer and thought it was fixed. Our transmission is hydraulic, so there's no gear to hold the prop still. We have a Max-prop which is supposed to feather to reduce the drag. When it works, the prop stops spinning. When it doesn't work, the prop spins, the shaft spins and the transmission spins. It makes a terrible whine. Anyway, yesterday the prop set perfectly. Today, no go. We sailed anyway because it's not supposed to hurt the transmission, but it's terribly annoying. I'm sure we put the engine on sooner than we might have otherwise.
We sailed past Atlantic City and I added a couple of photos to the gallery. I started a new album now that we're on the ocean, just thought it would be easier to view the pictures if there weren't too many in any one album.
Altogether we went over 76 miles. That's a long day at about 7 mph. We got here to the marina just after 5, by the time we bought fuel and got in our slip it was going on 6.
The folks at this marina are very nice, but it's another one not set up for sailboats. Bud did a masterful job maneuvering. You have to make a 90-degree turn to the left to go from the main channel to their entrance channel. Then you have to make a 90-degree turn to the right to get in the opening in their bulkhead, and it's not all that wide an opening. We came straight in the marina main channel to the end; where Bud had to pull, bow first, into a slip for fuel. Once fueled, he had to back out, and come back out the channel a bit to our assigned slip. There wasn't room to just back out and turn, Bud had to go forward and back again to get turned. The slip was next to a 48-foot powerboat. The man and woman came out and were ready to fend as Bud began to make his turn into the slip, but no fending was necessary. I could see how worried the man was seeing a 44-foot sailboat with one engine and no thrusters try to pull in next to him from a narrow channel, but in the end, he just stood and watched and said, "Nice job."
It was about 7:30 by the time the sails were tidied. We still had to walk to a convenience store and cook and eat. We are both really tired. The bad part is we have another long day tomorrow! We need to make it around the point of Cape May and up into Delaware Bay tomorrow, as the wind and waves are going to pick up through the day and all day Friday. If the weather wasn't going to turn bad, I'd love to stay here an extra day. It wouldn't be an issue if we could take the Cape May Canal and skip going out around the point, but there are two bridges with only 55 feet of clearance. That 63-foot mast is causing problems again.
Sailing on a deadline (even as vague a deadline as coming winter) is not so much fun. I'm still dreaming of warm weather and lazy days!
11/02/2010, Barnegat Bay, NJ
Today we SAILED on the OCEAN. It was great. We were only able to sail for about two hours, but for that time we had about 12 to 14 knots of wind on a broad reach. We had full main and 135 genoa out and were doing over 9 knots (we must have had some help from the current again, but Earendil was doing most of it herself). It was quiet and smooth and so nice. We've been motoring for so long that I was beginning to wonder if I'd find sailing stressful or too much work; not at all. Sailing is restful. The only thing you lose is the constant source of power from the alternator.
Unfortunately, once we got out past Sandy Hook and turned south, the wind was astern. We sailed off our course for a while to try and keep both sails filled, but after about a half hour decided we'd never make Barnegat Inlet if we didn't use the engine. There wasn't another place to stop in a day's sail, and with all the traffic in the area we were not ready to sail through the night. We motor-sailed with the main for a quite a while, but eventually had to take that down, too, and become a trawler with a big stick again.
Barnegat Bay has great places to anchor, but it's still too cold for us. We don't like to leave the generator run for hours and we really don't want to go without heat. So we had to find another marina. I thought in a place like this it would be easy, not so. Most of the places are set up for powerboats. They're too shallow for us. There is one yacht club and we checked that out, even though they want $3.50/ft per night. They could take us, but because of our length we'd go on a long dock with only 50 Amp power. We take 30 Amp power, and because too much power has never been a problem on Lake Ontario, we have adapters to go from 30 down to 20 or 15, but not up to 50. The club had no adapters, so we chose to go to the commercial fishing marina instead. We were warned that this was a fishing marina, we wouldn't fit in the lagoon and we'd be out near the wall. They thought they would have a place we could go that would have power. We arrived right at 4 PM and pulled in to the gas dock. Unlike gas docks that cater to pleasure boaters and have fenders or some protection all along the dock, this gas dock had no fenders and pilings on the outside, so your own fenders won't do much good. We got in with no problem. They showed us the slip we could use; it was right on the inside of their front wall. Again, the docks are lined with pilings. The commercial fishing boats don't bother with anything like fenders. Bud decided to back in, and he did it pretty well. It took a while to get the lines and fenders set up for the tide and pilings but now we are safe and secure and have power again. Earendil fits right in with the fishing boats, don't you think?
We celebrated our first sail with a seafood dinner at a local restaurant. We enjoyed it, but Fuzzy wasn't too pleased to be left alone on the boat. He does like the smells around the fish dock, though.
11/01/2010, Great Kills Harbor, Staten Island
If it were warm enough to anchor we would be out of New York State tonight. But the low is still in the 30's, so we opted for a marina again. Looking at the chart, we decided it would be less overall distance if we went to Great Kills Harbor, on the south shore of Staten Island rather than down to Atlantic Highlands behind Sandy Hook, New Jersey. Besides, this marina (Nichols Great Kills Marina) was $.50/ft less. So as much as Bud wanted to get out of New York, he agreed to come here.
We had quite a ride down the end of the Hudson. At one point we were doing 9.9 knots with the current and ebbing tide. That's the fastest we've ever gone on this boat, and we didn't even have the sails up.
The ride down past Manhattan was beautiful. I took a few pictures of the city and have posted them in the gallery. There were a few barges around, but most were anchored. It looked like the up-bound barges were anchored until the tide changed. We passed one other traveling sailboat. It was probably less than 30 feet and was from Juneau, Alaska. I hope he sailed it from Alaska, I find that reassuring.
Once we got below Manhattan things got interesting. We installed an AIS, Automatic Information System, receiver. It's supposed to receive information automatically broadcast from commercial vessels. The first time we encountered a barge on the Hudson we were pretty happy to have the alarm go off and "Dangerous Target" come up in a huge box on our chart screen. Once we got to lower Manhattan the alarm was going off constantly. The AIS is supposed to be able to give us detailed information about each vessel. We weren't getting anything but the alarm and the box, so we'll have to figure that out later. There were ferries and barges, cruise ships docked, freighters, Coast Guard vessels, dredges and more. It was a challenge to sort them all out and stay out of everyone's way. The picture for today is of the Statue of Liberty with two ferries crossing in front. That sort of sums up sailing through New York.
Our paper chart ended at the George Washington Bridge. We have the chart on our chart plotter and we have electronic charts on the computer. I went down to the computer and planned a route to our marina. It worked pretty well after we figured out that the green buoys numbered "23" and "21" on the computer chart were "21" and "19" on the chart plotter. I determined a point to head for that would take us safely across some relatively shallow flats (16 feet for most of it) and put that in as a waypoint on the chart plotter. We steered to the waypoint and from there to a light and a buoyed channel that took us into the marina. I know this seems pretty simple, but to do it for the first time and to have all the systems work together correctly felt like an accomplishment to me.
So Earendil is back in salt water and tomorrow we go to sea!
10/31/2010, Haverstraw Marina
We got up early today to try and get going with the outgoing tide. We were also hoping to avoid fees at Norrie Point. We were just trying to figure out the best way to cast off when Bud saw the dockmaster approaching. So instead of leaving, we stayed and pumped out. The dockmaster helped us turn the boat around so we could reach our holding tanks. We told him about our docking experience last night. He said at low tide it was pretty shallow in the basin and we were best off out on the gas dock like we were. The marina is actually part of a state park there. We asked him what we owed for the pump-out and the night's docking. He said 7 bucks for the pump-out, and since he hadn't been around to help us dock, he wouldn't charge for the docking. So another free night with power. I added a picture to yesterday's post of Earendil at the dock, now facing out and ready to go again.
It was a sunny cold day. The wind started on our nose. It was supposed to move around to the northwest. When it came abeam Bud wanted to raise the main to save on the engine and gain some speed. I was concerned because we were coming to a narrow place in the river with high hills on either side. We got things tidied and stowed so we could sail, but waited until we entered the narrow part. The wind increased, but shifted directly behind us, so we didn't set the main. We were gaining almost 2 knots with the current already. The wind continued to go around us, the next time we got into a wide place in the river; it was back on our nose! By the time we got to the marina, the wind had wrapped our ensign completely around the pole.
We sailed past West Point today. That's very impressive. The picture is looking back north at the older buildings along the south side of the peninsula. The oldest part is on the right of the photo and looks like an old fort.
We didn't want to repeat yesterday's fiasco, so we were careful about the marinas. (No going without power tonight, the low is supposed to be 28! That is NOT boating weather as far as I'm concerned.) Haverstraw Marina seemed a reasonable distance, so I called ahead and gave our length AND our mast height. They could take us. As the day went on, and the current from the tide picked up, we thought we could perhaps make another 11 miles to Tarrytown. That was even more expensive than Haverstraw, but we thought the extra mileage would be worth it. So I called, but had to leave a message. When no one had returned my call as we neared Haverstraw, we headed in, even though it wasn't even 1:30 yet. We are safe and docked with power and have just finished a nice Chinese dinner cooked by Bud and I still haven't heard from Tarrytown. Glad we stopped. I wonder if we'll get Trick or Treaters here.
It will be a long day tomorrow, but we still should be able to get past New York City.
10/30/2010, Indian Kill
This morning we put on both foresails, decided the baby stay was too loose and tightened it up again and put on the staysail again. At least the staysail is easy to work with, and for once there was almost no wind. I hooked up the line to the backstay antenna while Bud ran the reefing lines. It all took morning to do these things and clean up the boat to get it ready. It's nice to have it back as a sailboat. We don't even have the extra lumber on the decks.
We were anxious to get off so we left as soon as we were ready, even though it was already 1:40 in the afternoon. Out on the river there was a strong breeze against us (of course) and not much help from the current or tide. We were only doing about 5 knots and at times less than that. We looked for a place to stay about 20 miles down river. We wanted a marina or yacht club because it's supposed to go down to the upper 30's tonight, so we wanted power for heat. I checked our "Skipper Bob" book and found a marina with a pump out (we need to pump our holding tanks, too). They said they monitored VHF channel 16, but this time of year we're finding that's not too reliable. Happily, we have the computer and internet access, so I went below and Googled them and found the phone number. I also checked out their website and it said they could accommodate boats up to 160 feet. The man at the marina asked me to call back at 4:45, since they close at 5. I called, at 4:45 we were just about to turn into Rondout Creek and go up to the marina. Bud had noticed a bridge in the distance. I was sure it wasn't a problem because neither the guide book nor the website had mentioned any bridge clearance. I asked, the bridge clearance was 56 feet. Our mast is 63 feet off the waterline. We weren't going there!
Now it was already 5 o'clock and we had no place to stop. I asked the man there if he knew of another marina. He said there were none near-by, he thought that the closest one was already closed for the year. He said there was a good anchorage on the east side of the river behind Esopus Island.
We headed down the river. I called Poughkeepsie Yacht Club, they had just finished pulling their docks. I tried to call the Norrie Point Marina but their phone was not in use. That usually means it's a seasonal phone that has been shut off. We started to plan to anchor. We got out a length of nylon dock line to use as a snubber. That's a line that's attached to the anchor chain and led to a cleat. Then as the boat pulls, it's pulling on the cleat and not on the windlass that raises the anchor. The only problem was we weren't sure how to attach the line to the anchor chain. I checked two of our reference books, but neither helped. So Bud suggested I call Jon and Arline. Jon described a knot, and told me to look up taunt line knot for better instructions. I found instructions on how to tie it on the internet. Then Bud asked me to make sure the end of the anchor line was secure in the anchor locker. I had to move two sails, two folding boat seats, Fuzzy's unused Pup-Head and a basket of miscellaneous stuff to get at the anchor locker, but I managed it. The anchor was secured.
When I got out on deck we were approaching the area the man at the marina described. He said we'd see other boats at anchor and on mooring balls. There was nothing. There was about 16 knots of wind coming straight through with no shelter. We continued to look for a likely spot. We saw one boat that might be at anchor, but it was well past the island. Bud headed towards shore, I went out on the forepeak and got the anchor ready to drop. Suddenly Bud slowed way down and turned back out towards the river. We were almost aground! The water went from 30 to 40 feet deep to 7 or 8 feet deep in an instant! At that point I persuaded Bud to go back about a half mile to the Norrie Point Marina. We had passed it, and there were still a few boats tied up, but there was no one around that we could see and they looked like pretty small boats. The guide said they had 6 feet of water at the approach and docks. That's not much more than our draft of 5' 8". Plus with the wind blowing towards the shore Bud wasn't sure he'd be able to maneuver to a small dock. It now seemed like our best chance, so we got to try it in the dark! (Oh, yeah, it was now dark.)
Bud turned the boat in circles out in the river as I got fenders and docklines set up on both sides of the boat. Then he sent me forward with a flashlight and told me to tell him loudly if I saw a dock. We still had 16 knots of wind. Happily, as we came through the flashing red and green entrance lights I made out their gas dock. Bud headed for that. I got off and got a line around a cleat. The gas dock sits right at the entrance, so with the wind angling across the river there is no protection. However, our slip at TYC gave us lots of practice in tying off against wind. About a half hour and 8 docklines later we felt pretty secure. Best of all, there was a 30 AMP working plug on the dock, so we even have power and heat.
Bud said he would just as soon not do something like this again tomorrow; I heartily agree.
I'll post a picture of the boat at the dock tomorrow, when I can see it.
Be safe and Fair winds to ya.
They were in stock in Buffalo - don't know where the nearest store is on your route though. Lots of advice if you Google "chain Snubber"
10/29/2010, Still at Catskill on the Hudson
Today was another day of work. This retirement thing is not what it's cracked up to be! We started before 8. We moved the boat into the slip where the crane is to lift the mast. We took the leaf off the dinette table and then pulled the table and set it off to the side to keep it out of the way when the mast is placed. The boat has a metal piece bolted to the top of the keel where the mast sits. It's actually called the step, I think. Anyway, we have always had trouble getting our mast tuned right (that is getting it held up straight and centered on the boat). Bud and I both looked down at that step and thought it was crooked. Mind you, we could have looked down at that step at any time since October 16, when the mast was unstepped. But no, we waited until an hour before it was scheduled to be put back up to decide that it was crooked and really needed to be fixed. We scrambled and got the step loose, cleaned it and the giant screws that held it in place and put it back in with new caulk. We broke the caulk gun doing it. Bud thought he might have been able to move it a little bit, as the screws went through slots on the step. The slots were actually fore and aft, and we needed to move it a bit side to side, so we're not sure if we changed anything, but we felt better for trying.
Shortly afterwards the marina folks came and set the mast. It all went very smoothly. Once the mast was up off the center brace, we had to partially disassemble it to get it off the mast pulpit and out of the way. Then they dropped the mast down through the hole in the deck and we had to take the tape and bag off the bottom and uncoil the wires and feed them through the holes in the side of the mast near the bottom. I did that, so I was below when Sean, who runs the marina, put the mast in place. I couldn't believe how they did it. Their crane does not move from side to side. They had tied the boat off so the hole for the mast was pretty close to directly under the crane. Once they had the mast suspended and down through the hole on deck to within an inch of the step, Sean tells them to move the boat, just a little aft and a little in towards the dock. They did, and they dropped that mast exactly in place! I would never have thought they'd move the boat instead of the crane, and I'd never have thought they could be so quick and accurate.
Next we had to pin back all the shrouds and the two forestays and the aft stay to hold the mast in place. If you're not a sailor, these are all the metal cables that hold the mast. After that, we could move the boat out of their slip so they could do the two other boats that were waiting.
For Bud and I the fun was just beginning. First we had to tighten all the shrouds. As I said, we've not been satisfied with the way our mast was set, so we wanted to do a really good job. I read one of our cruising how-to books and we carefully followed those directions. We tried to center the mast from side to side by tightening and loosening the top shrouds first, the cables that go all the way to the top of the mast. Our mast seemed to be leaning quite a bit to port, so we tightened the shroud on the starboard side to try and bring it over. After over half an hour of adjusting, we looked up the mast from the base where it was obvious that only the top of the mast was moving to starboard. The mast had a distinct bend in it about two thirds of the way up. This is not good. Anyway we loosened things back up, literally pushed the mast over where it came up through the deck and put some wedges in to hold it, and tightened some of the lower shrouds until we had it straight. We also took up on both of our head stays (the ones that run to the front of the boat). Since both of those having furling drums on them that involved a lot more work. While Bud finished those up and then tightened everything up evenly all around, I went down and reconnected the wires from the mast. I had to hook up the radar, TV antenna, Windex, tricolor light on the top of the mast, white anchoring light on the top of the mast, steaming light and deck light. Hallelujah, everything works! Then there was the boom, and the main sail to get back on. We ended up having Brittany and Scott help us with the main. It all came off so easily, still in the stack pack, but getting it back on was another thing entirely. Of course it got windy as soon as we started to work on the sail. At the end of the day, Bud hoisted me up the mast and we reattached the lazy jacks, lines that keep the main on top of the boom as it is lowered.
We finally quit after dark, which is when I took the picture. It's hard to see, but the mast, boom and mainsail are back in place. Bud was exhausted. We still have to reattach our reefing lines, put on both our headsails and hook up the backstay antenna to the SSB radio. I'm guessing the way things go that's another three or four hours of work. But then we can SAIL...SOUTH...where it's warm. (Did I mention it was pretty cold out there today?)
Be safe.

The maths unit can do multiply with accumulate, which gives you the ability to perform matrix compositions and apply matrices to vectors very quickly. It also has a hardware divide which you can use for perspective projections and clipping tasks. Because the maths unit doesn't take control of the bus, you can overlap its work with the workaday 6502 stuff of fetching data for the next multiply or storing the last result. For that reason it's probably smart to do the very low level stuff in assembler but you could easily write the vast majority of your project in C, though you'd possibly want to reserve (as in, permanently) a large chunk of the zero page for the assembly portion.
I wrote what 3d stuff I provided with BLL, I think, but the source bundle I received from Karri was for CC65 so I assume that's exactly the route he was taking. The stuff I provided was incomplete in some significant ways, and I recall Karri finding and fixing at least one bug. I couldn't tell you to what advances he's made with the code since then.
If you want to see something that I really don't think you'd be able to pull off anywhere near as well in C, check out my olden times Mode 7 demo. The code is lost but I still have the cartridge image, and it'd be relatively easy to rewrite. I'm not sure there's much point unless I can think up a sufficiently efficient way of masking out-of-bounds accesses though.
I don't have any Lynx development tools set up at present and I don't think there's a version of HandyBug I can use on my Mac anyway, but I do keep meaning to get back into this stuff.

Oh, yes, I recall that my actual transform stuff was for 'small' objects in a much larger space — I can imagine that getting planets in there would have been some effort. It's a shame that you can't step debug your original source with the current free/public tools. I did briefly work on exposing debug functionality in one of my emulators via an HTTP RESTful interface, which would mean that an external tool could remotely control the emulator so as to provide that sort of functionality but that's the sort of thing that's very difficult to organise.
In Stardreamer I got stuck as after a while the transformations started to act weird. Planets I had already passed popped out of nowhere and the world did not behave well. I thought of running some tests to find the bugs but it turned out to be too much for me.
Definitely put my name down on the list if you build it.
I had a plan to release a new cart with Stardreamer on it. The working name was Black Pearl for the cart. That schematics is ready and a prototype exists. It has an amazing 8Mb space for game streaming (sound, game code and world data). Who knows. Perhaps this will become reality.

I would be happy if it did. If you finished it completely I would be delighted to buy a cart

Sage's tracker is really nice, and all the stuff we have for sound right now is already better than Epyx's old SPL. Although I feel bad that I am a little slow with my own tools, haha.
Huge problem imo is always the sound. Sage was so nice to give me some WIP tools for doing Lynx-music and I asked two friends of mine who can work miracles on the Mega Drive/Genesis, but I just couldn´t get them motivated to do any music.Of course in the end matashen can do some himself, but it´s just a different thing to have a really talented composer who also refines his tunes a lot.
Yes, it is very easy to make things up to 16Mbit for Lynx nowadays. Things probably would have gotten much bigger if Atari wasn't so cheap, and the cartslot wasn't so slow to access.
As for Stardreamer... I´d love to see that happen. Finally a Lynx game not restricted by small card-size! 8 Mbit was what GameBoy and Game Gear games ended up using occasionally too, so someday the Lynx should definitely have such a big game too!

But you can do many of the same things on the Lynx as on the NES without DPCM. Maybe you should try asking some NES guys?
Posted Sun Jan 29, 2012 6:58 PM
I think it is always good to ask, just in case. But yes, if things are kept unpaid it is always difficult to convince people to join in this sort of project.
For the NES scene, there may be talented people there as well, but as a stranger, without knowing them it is kind of akward asking them to do an unpaid job for a system they don´t care about.^^

"What keeps me up at night is that if I am asked to deploy 20,000 soldiers somewhere, I am not sure I can guarantee that they are trained to a level that I think they should be over the next two or three years because of the way sequestration is being enacted, and that's really of a concern for me," Odierno said when asked about his greatest concern regarding sequestration.
The sequester, a series of mandatory, across-the-board spending cuts that took effect on March 1, will reduce the Pentagon's budget by about $85 billion this year.
Odierno said that sequestration is taking a toll on training new Army recruits.
"Yes we'll still send soldiers. Yes, we'll be able to train them to a lower level and they'll be individually ready, but they will not have been able to train collectively, the way we would like," he said. "That means operations will take longer, but most importantly it probably equals more casualties."
Odierno added that the Army is faced with problems when recruiting 18-24 year olds because the men do not meet the requirements needed to serve — a high school diploma and sufficient physical fitness.
"The problem we have is not the propensity to serve, he said. "The problem we have is, are they qualified to meet our requirements to serve?"
"What we're finding is that about 23 percent are qualified to come in to serve."

Belichick postgame quotes
|08.26.10 at 11:02 pm ET
FOXBORO — Bill Belichick didn't have much to say following the Patriots' 36-35 loss to the Rams on Thursday night. Most questions were met with similar answers, but here's what the coach said:
On the game:
"We didn't do well on anything. We just didn't have a good night."
"We didn't perform well."
"It's concerning any time you don't play well."
"I think we need to play better and coach better. "
On the impressive play from rookie tight end Rob Gronkowski, who had two touchdowns:
"When you can't make a first down in the first half it's hard to find a lot of bright spots on offense."
On first overall pick Sam Bradford:

It seems like this weekend was too much of a good thing. In the shadow of "Star Trek"'s $76 million haul, six new specialty films opened in theatres - including high profile entries like Kirby Dick's exposure of closeted gay politicians, "Outrage," and Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna's reunion, "Rudo y Cursi" - and not one found a per-theater-average above $10,000.
The highest average was actually from the lowest profile film, with "Helvetica" director Gary Hustwit's new doc "Objectified" taking an estimated $9,400 from its sole screen at New York's IFC Center. That makes it the eighth time in the past nine weeks that a documentary led the iW BOT, which ranks by per-theater average.
"We had an amazing run with 'Helvetica' in 2007 at IFC Center, so we're psyched to have a strong opening with 'Objectified' there," Hustwit told indieWIRE today. "In the current distribution climate, I think these numbers show that there are great opportunities for self-distributed films to find their audiences. It's gratifying that there's a demand for documentaries about design and that audiences are curious about the manufactured objects in their lives and the process of the designers that make them."
Beyond "Objectified," the best numbers came care of Kirby Dick's "Outrage." On 5 very appropriate screens - in West Hollywood in LA, Chelsea in NY, San Francisco, Washington and Philadelphia's Ritz at the Bourse - the doc grossed only $35,000, averaging $7,000. Considering the huge amount of press that surrounded the film - which outs a number of high profile politicians - that's a disappointing number for distributor Magnolia Pictures. Dick's previous work - 2006's "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" - averaged over twice that in its opening frame ($15,332).
Gay audiences weren't overenthusiastic about another film targeted toward them either, though Robert Pattinson undoubtedly helped Regent Releasing and Here Media's "Little Ashes" find the numbers it did. On 12 screens, the film - which stars Pattinson as Salvador Dali and features much-publicized gay love scenes - grossed an estimated $77,000, averaging a decent, but certainly not great, $6,416. Currently screening in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago and San Francisco, "Ashes" expands to other major markets throughout the month of May including Seattle, Tampa, Boston, Portland, Washington, D.C., Ft. Lauderdale and St. Louis. The film is currently set to open in more than 30 markets.
Carlos Cuarón's "Rudo y Cursi" was the widest new specialty release, and perhaps also the most disappointing. On 70 screens, the Gael Garcia Bernal-Diego Luna soccer rivalry reunion grossed $210,647 for a weak $3,009 average. This disappointment is most clear when you look to recent examples of films that successfully catered to Hispanic audiences. Last Spring's "Under The Same Moon" opened on a much more aggressive 266 screens, and managed a $2,769,655 gross and a $10,412 average. And then of course there's "Y Tu Mama Tambien," Bernal and Luna's previous co-starring work, which grossed $408,091 on 40 screens back in March, 2002 - averaging $10,202.
"Rudo" was released through Sony Pictures Classics, which made the curious decision to open two notable films on the same day. Atom Egoyan's "Adoration" also hit theaters this weekend, and didn't fare much better. On 10 screens the film grossed $43,734, averaging $4,373. That's certainly not a disastrous number, particularly by most recent Egoyan's standards. His last film, 2005's "Where The Truth Lies," averaged $2,468 on 95 theaters in its opening frame. However, in 2002 his "Ararat" - opening on a more comparable 6 screens - averaged a whopping $35,188.
Sony Classics should probably be most pleased this weekend with the fourth weekend performance of "A Chorus Line" doc "Every Little Step." On 24 screens the film actually beat out "Rudo"'s average with $3,649. That takes its cume to $343,078, and makes it one of 2009's highest grossing docs thus far.
Magnolia Pictures also man an unfortunate double-dip this weekend. In addition to "Outrage," the distrib released Erick Zonca's "Julia," which stars Tilda Swinton as an alcoholic kidnapper. On 3 screens, "Julia" grossed only $12,524. Its $4,175 average failed in comparison to Zonca's 1999 "Dreamlife of Angels," which didn't even have the star-power of Swinton (but did have more glowing reviews). "Angels" grossed $59,333 on 6 screens in its opening frame, for an average of $9,888.
Among holdovers, a trio of documentaries joined aforementioned "Every Little Step" as examples of decent continued business. Truly Indie's "Valentino: The Last Emperor moved to 37 screens in its 8th week and found another $93,000 gross and a $2,514 average. Its $830,000 cume continues to climb, and impress. Abramorama's "Anvil! The Story of Anvil" rose to 17 screens in its fifth weekend, gorssing another $36,400 (for a $2,141 average) and taking its total to $280,000. And the little yoga doc that could - Balcony Releasing's "Enlighten Up!" added 5 screens this weekend, bringing its total to 8, and helping it find another $16,300. Its $130,000 gross from 6 weekends out is impressive considering how minimal its screen count has been (this is the first weekend it's been over 3).
Finally, last weekend's iW BOT leader, Jim Jarmusch's "The Limits of Control," went from 3 to 11 screens and saw its average fall over 75%. The Focus Features release grossed $47,243 for a $4,295 PTA, which considering the performances of this weekend's openers, is not bad at all.
indieWIRE:BOT tracks independent/specialty releases compiled from Rentrak Theatrical, which collects studio reported data as well as box-office figures from North American theatre locations. To be included in the indieWIRE Box Office Chart, distributors must submit information about their films to Rentrak at firstname.lastname@example.com by the end of the day each Monday.

Senior Director, Late Development Statistics, Merck & Co.
An Overview of Issues Surrounding Multi-Regional Clinical Trials
The conduct of a Multi-Regional Clinical Trials (MRCTs) presents significant challenges for those conducting the trial and those who need to make public health decisions based on the trial outcome. MRCTs promise efficiency and cost savings by allowing a near simultaneous global registration of a new product using a single data package. However, to achieve this the quality and integrity of the data needs to be assured regardless of where the MRCT was conducted. Following discussions at the FDA/PhRMA meeting on the "Challenges and Opportunities of Multiregional Clinical Trials" held October 2007 in Maryland, a PhRMA MRCT Working Group was formed to address clinical, ethical, operational, statistical, and regulatory issues raised by MRCTs. This presentation will give an overview of issues regarding MRCTs, with specific mention of current areas of research by the PhRMA multi-regional clinical trial group. The PhRMA MRCT group welcomes comments and feedback on this presentation, and encourages partnerships with those in academia interested in improving MRCTs.
Bruce Binkowitz is a Senior Director in Late Development Statistics (phases II through V) at Merck and Co., Inc. He currently heads the Late Development Statistics Cardiovascular Franchise, which is globally responsible for all products under the broad cardiovascular therapy area, including atherosclerosis, hypertension, and heart failure products. In 23+ years of industry experience he has had a wide variety of health authority interactions during the development and approval of compounds worldwide across broad and diverse therapeutic areas including oncology, respiratory, metabolism/diabetes, dermatology, ophthalmology and endocrine. Dr. Binkowitz is currently serving the first 1 year of a 3 year term as a member of the PhRMA Biostatistics and Data Management Technical Group. He is also co-chair of the PhRMA multi-disciplinary expert group focusing on issues surrounding Multi-Regional Clinical Trials.

Most of us remember the workday before the Internet. After I saw a coworker at her desk playing solitaire on Facebook we joked about how Windows' Solitaire — and Minesweeper — were the main ways we wasted time before the web.
What else did we do at work before the Internet?
• We doodled. Now instead of doodling at our desk or in meetings, we grab our smartphones and play Flappy Bird or Angry Birds.
• We avoided long distance charges at home by calling friends and family at work.
• We faxed stupid jokes and photos to people across the country. We still do that today but no trees are harmed.
• We read newspapers. How quaint. And sometimes we even played the newspaper word search or crossword puzzles.
• We did more office pranks.
What are some things you did to waste time at work before the Internet?

Requirements for a major in accountancy
All Western Michigan University accountancy majors are required to complete 30 hours of accountancy credits. Students should consult information about the accountancy major in the WMU catalog.
Undergraduate program flowchart
Additional requirements
All accountancy majors, beginning with students entering WMU under the 2012 catalog, must take one of the following three courses: PHIL 4100 Professional Ethics, MGMT 4040 Business and Society, or LAW 4870 Accounting Ethics and Legal Liability. Note: PHIL 4100 Professional Ethics is required for all accountancy majors beginning with students entering WMU under the 2005 catalog.
Effective with the 2008 catalog, a minimum GPA of 2.5 in ACTY 2100 and in ACTY 2110 is required for enrollment in ACTY 3100, ACTY 3220 and ACTY 3240.
Two 4000-level electives are required for all accountancy majors.
Certification requirements
Graduates with a major in accountancy can take the following exams, among others:
- Certified Public Accountant
- Certified Management Accountant
- Certified Internal Auditor
The requirements to sit for the various professional exams differ by exam and state. It is each student's responsibility to determine the requirements for a particular exam. The student should be aware that the exam requirements may change over time.
Internships in accountancy
Accountancy majors can apply for internships that provide practical experience in accountancy. Internship positions are available in public accounting firms, businesses and industry.

Many accountancy students actively participate in a variety of honor societies and business clubs, such as Beta Alpha Psi, the student chapter of the Institute of Management Accountants and the National Association of Black Accountants. Some of the activities these organizations sponsor include tutoring introductory accounting students, preparing tax returns for low income taxpayers, visiting corporations and public accounting firms and meeting with representatives from business, industry, government and public accounting firms. Through these organizations, students establish professional contacts and participate in a wealth of career-enhancing programs.

Late to the ball, so sorry if this is known, but seems some guy drunkenly spoke about doing technical work for a game called Red Dead revolution. Now the article states this was the name for Red Dead Redemption prior to it's official name (never knew that either) but makes me think, is it the third game with that title, or a third game, just Revolution is the place holder name until they think of an even cooler word beginning with R?
Red Dead Revolution
Apologies if this is know, old, or proven to be fake. First I've ever heard of it, and it got me excited. slash worried, as I don't know if a new Red Dead game could outdo the story of Redemption. That story was amazing. Hope it doesn't go the route of GTA with the same story just rehashed for each new instalment.

I don't think there will be another Red dead, I mean where could it possibly go from where it left off? The game is a masterpiece and can't be improved IMO.

As i've always said and thought, they don't necessarily have to pick up where Redemption left off, I mean Redemption didn't exactly follow on from Revolver did it? They could quite easily go back to the glory days of the west in the mid-1800's and maybe show Landon Ricketts as a young gunslinger, or they could just create a completely new character.
(And no I haven't bothered to read any of the prior posts to mine, i'm out of training with my forum etiquette... coincidentally, is it considered standard procedure to place two or three fingers up the anus when greeting a fellow member, i'm sure it's three but I can't quite remember.)

Welcome to Best Medical Canada
Best Medical Canada has been the pioneer of in-vivo dosimetry for radiotherapy, brachytherapy and radiology applications for over 30 years. BMC MOSFETs (TN-502RD-H) are real-time dose readout dosimeters that connect to a wireless and battery-operated mobileMOSFET reader. The advanced features of the software allow for dose verification in comparison to target dose, and electronic dose reporting with data transfer to R&V systems. The hand-held Portable Dosimeter system is intended for cost-effective MOSFET dosimetry and portability during clinical use at uncompromised accuracy. BMC MOSFETs, based on patented dual MOSFET technology, are the only in-vivo dosimeters with unmatched dosimetric characteristics such as temperature independence, gantry angle, dose rate, energy and good linearity at full dose range.
In addition, we have developed various product accessories providing tools to enhance the quality of treatment delivered by medical professionals. For example, we provide build-up caps for Dmax measurements, phantoms for beam QA, and different types of dosimeters tailored towards various applications in radiotherapy. We have also developed a calibration jig specifically for MOSFET dosimeters which promotes reproducible calibration.

The number of break in attempts via ssh is just exploding. My FreeBSD system has wonderful system and security emails each day and this morning it reported more than 2000 break attempts via ssh. This particular attack was hitting pretty hard, with several attempts happening every second for more than 25 minutes. I've had attempts like this before, but they weren't as fast and didn't last as long, usually only a few hundred attempts lasting less than 10 minutes.
Will there ever be a time when being on the Internet will be less dangerous than it was the year before? It isn't looking that way.

YouTube: Christians broadcast God
Thirty-five Californian college students are getting credit for watching YouTube and posting comments. Alexandra Juhasz, media professor at Pitzer College, designed the course, "Learning from YouTube," to examine YouTube's social role. Eric Bramlett said Juhasz' students aren't the only ones who can learn from YouTube. Christians can, too.
Bramlett, creative arts director at Community Christian Church, directed a parody of the Mac vs. PC commercials, poking fun at the straight-laced, suit-wearing, bumper-sticker-loving Christian stereotype. Bramlett said a Christian site and an Apple site found his YouTube video and linked to it: "In one day, we had a ridiculous amount of hits."
Bramlett has posted 50 videos on YouTube and boasts almost 1,000 subscribers. "Churches can take advantage of that kind of buzz that YouTube can create," Bramlett said. "It's got real potential to be a front door for your friends who don't go to church." Bramlett said videos can give non-believing friends a taste of your church experience, and he has used his clips to witness to non-believing friends.
Bramlett said churches who use YouTube are adapting to the culture's new language: "We live in a short attention span culture. ... The language of that culture is short, two-minute videos that are easily watched, easily finished." Some may object that Christians should be changing that language, but Bramlett disagrees with the assumption that length equals depth: "I think you can be very poignant with few words and with little time." Bramlett also believes that humor can both relax and challenge people.
Bramlett said YouTube is one way for Christians to "have a say" in modern culture: ""You can start a buzz, you can start a spark, you can plant a seed."

My sister-in-law is 33 weeks pregnant with a baby girl. She has an almost 3-year old son that was born by c-sec after an induction at 38 weeks and "failure to progress" after 12 hours...
At first, her ob-gyn told her she could have a VBAC but now she's claiming she doesn't want to "risk it" because it is only safer to try VBACs with a larger interval than 4 years between births... Anyway, my siste-in-law thinks she can't handle labour and is keen on having a c-sec.
My question is related to another detail her ob-gyn told her: she says its "dangerous" to have her go into spontaneuos labour and wants to perform an elective c-sec at 39 weeks...
Can someone find me some studies or official data on this last question? Is it really safer to schedule a c-sec or can it be as safe and best for baby if the c-sec is performed after she enters in labour spontaneously?
Views: 22
Thank you for your answers.
We live in Portugal and some doctors here are very close-minded... Her ob-gyn is the militar type: "do this, do that 'cause I'm the doctor and of course, I know best". My SIL doens't have the courage to inquire about the studies because she doesn't want to upset the doctor... The hospital where she will have the bb has 24 hour ob-gyn emergencies service, and she lives like 10 minutes by car from it, so I think there wouldn't be any problem with waiting for spontaneuos labour... except for her doctor, that would have to be available to come at the day and hour my SIL required, if she wanted her to perform the c-sec and not some other doctor (and she does).
Thank you again and all the best for MyBestBirth!

Have Legal Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Hello JA Customer:
First, I don't think the tutor's membership in NILD is relevant to your decision as to whether you continue to pay for the tutor's services. In fact, I would encourage you to make a report with NILD.
You are off to the right start by corresponding with her in writing and I would encourage you to continue emails or other written communication. I would suggest that simply advise her that you believe she breached the contract when your child became overwhelmed and his grades actually slipped even further. Advise her that if she will drop this matter and cease her repeated requests for the remaining payments you will not sue her to recover the money you have already paid. I would also remind her that you are ready to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the Attorney General's Office if she continues to pursue this matter.
I hope this helps, best of luck!

Yes this is a shame. At least you found out relatively quickly that it wasn't working with this tutor and LINKEDIN is a great new tool.
I hope your son gets the help he needs and I wish him the best of luck!

Estimating the Field Capacity of Farm Machines
The field capacity of a farm machine is the rate at which it performs its primary function, i.e., the number of acres that can be disked per hour or the number of tons of hay that can be baled per hour. Measurements or estimates of machine capacities are used to schedule field operations, power units, and labor, and to estimate machine operating costs.
The most common measure of field capacity for agricultural machines is expressed in acres covered per hour of operation. The effective field capacity (EFC) of a machine in the field can be easily calculated by dividing the acres completed by the hours of actual field time. Recording acres and hours for several fields over the whole season can be used to find an average field capacity in differing terrain and weather conditions.
Effective field capacities for many implements are estimated in Table 1. Average field conditions are assumed. If your implement differs markedly in size, speed, or field efficiency from those listed, effective field capacity should be calculated by using the information and equations shown on the final page of this publication.
Table 1 is presented in the accompanying "pdf" file that you can access by clicking here or on the icon above.
Calculating Effective Field Capacity
Theoretical field capacity (TFC) depends only on the full operating width of the machine and the average travel speed in the field. It represents the maximum possible field capacity that can be obtained at the given field speed when the full operating width of the machine is being used. It can be calculated from equation (1).
(1) TFC (A/h) = width (ft) x speed (mph)/8.251
A machine cannot maintain its TFC for very long periods of time. The ratio of actual or effective field capacity (EFC) to TFC is called the machine's field efficiency (FE).
Field efficiency is expressed as the percentage of a machine's TFC actually achieved under real conditions. It accounts for failure to utilize the full operating width of the machine (overlapping) and many other time delays. These might include turning, idle travel across headlands or to wagons, filling seed and pesticide hoppers, emptying grain tanks, cleaning a plugged machine, checking a machine's performance and making adjustments, and waiting for wagons and operator rest stops. Delay activities that occur outside the field, such as daily service, travel to and from the field, and major repairs, are not included in a field efficiency measurement.
Average field speed can be easily measured by marking off a distance of 88 feet in the field, placing a stake at each end, and counting the seconds it takes to drive between the stakes. Average field speed can then be calculated from equation (2).
(2) Speed (mph) = 60/seconds to travel 88 feet
For example, if you traveled between the stakes in 12 seconds, your average field speed was 5 mph.
After you have calculated the machine's average field speed, TFC can be calculated from equation (1) using the full width of the machine. The FE can be taken from the table in this publication or estimated using equation (3) if you have a representative value of EFC.
(3) FE (%) = EFC/TFC x 100
Conversely, if you need to estimate a machine's EFC and have an estimate of FE, use equation (4).
(4) EFC(A/h) = TFC x FE%/100 =
(width (ft) x speed (mph) x FE%) / (8.25 x 100)
The working capacity of harvesting machines is often measured by the quantity of material harvested per hour. This capacity is called the machine's material capacity (MC), expressed as bushels per hour or tons per hour. It is the product of the machine's EFC and the average yield of crop per acre, and can be calculated from equation (5).
(5) MC(bu or tons/h) = EFC(A/h) x crop yield
(bu or tons/A)
For example, a baler with an EFC of 2.5 A/h working in a field yielding 2 tons of hay per acre would have an MC of 2.5 A/h x 2 tons/A, or 5 tons/h.
1The factor 8.25 is derived by dividing the number of square feet in an acre, 43,560, by the number of feet in a mile, 5,280.

Mike Daisey is back in town.
The peripatetic monologist-provocateur and his director wife, Jean-Michele Gregory, are bringing two new shows to the Seattle Repertory Theatre. Starting Wednesday, he'll perform "American Utopias" (about his travels to the "paradises" of Burning Man and Disney World). And next week, Daisey orates "F**cking F**cking F**cking
Ayn Rand," about the Russian-born author and her cult philosophical novels, admired by such politicians as Republican congressmen Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan.
Daisey jump-started his career here in the late 1990s, coming to prominence with "21 Dog Years: Doing Time at Amazon.com," his memoir about working for the Seattle Internet giant.
It was all up from there, until last year, when Daisey (now a Brooklynite) triggered a scandal with "The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs," a love letter to Apple products and impassioned exposé of labor conditions in the Chinese factories where the company's communication devices are made.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite
Most Read Stories
Here and elsewhere, the show initially won raves. But when the "This American Life" radio program confronted Daisey about some fabricated material involving Chinese worker abuses, then retracted the piece, his reputation took a hit. He apologized but also defended the intent of the piece.
That led to a fascinating debate over distinctions between art and journalism, the value of full disclosure and partial exaggeration. How did he withstand the angry news-media drubbing he received?
"I wish the reaction had been more nuanced. But I'm a much better artist now," says Daisey. "We say adversity is a great teacher, and it's true. I'm really thankful for a lot of the things I've been able to figure out going through that experience."
Such as? "One thing I didn't fully reckon with was the power and hunger we have for witnessing. Nothing I talked about in that show is in dispute, everything I talked about existed. But I apologized, in a reasonable manner, because there were some breaches of trust and liberties taken."
He's proud, however, to have drawn attention to the factory conditions (which he says have, in some respects, improved). And he's cagey on how the controversy affects his oeuvre.
"I'm not making any hard-and-fast rules. If anything, I'm promising to do what I did before, with some caveats. I'm trying to be more transparent in some ways."
"American Utopias" coalesced after he traveled to Disney World, then later attended the freewheeling Burning Man festival and observed the Occupy Wall Street encampment in New York's Zuccotti Park.
"A modern utopia can be a heaven on Earth, or to other people it can look ridiculous," he reflects. "The disconnect between the two things really interests me."
Ayn Rand has fascinated him since he read her books in high school, and after the tea party "co-opted her work."
"The basic format of my piece is a pocket biography of Rand, who had a fascinating life we never hear about because her work looms up larger than her own story. I also examine her books 'The Fountainhead' and 'Atlas Shrugged' and her theory of objectivism. Her idea of people becoming so perfectly realized that they have no human faults or weaknesses sounds great. If we found any people like that, it might actually work out!"
The brouhaha over the Jobs monologue seems to have spurred Daisey on, rather than set him back. This fall in New York he'll perform a 29-night "lunar cycle" of monologues, a different one each night.
"I'm looking at new models, new formats for my work. I'm coming to theaters outside the regular-season schedule, trying to keep ticket prices down, putting monologues online. I feel this strong need to make our work really accessible to everyone, to make people feel that what happens in the theater directly connects to them."

Watch the final video in our Year of the River series
We released a short film today with our partners at American Whitewater and the Hydropower Reform Coalition that tells the story of historic dam removal successes on Washington's Elwha and White Salmon rivers. The seven-minute film premiered at the Wild and Scenic Film Festival in January and is the final installment in the "Year of the River" series by filmmaker Andy Maser.
"As a paddler and adventure filmmaker, having the chance to witness and document these dam removals has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my career," said Maser. "My hope is that these films will continue to build momentum for more dam removals and support the efforts of people on the ground working hard to restore free-flowing rivers." Maser is also working on a long-term timelapse project documenting the removal of Condit Dam and the restoration of the White Salmon River and surrounding ecosystem.
Take action to remove more dams in 2012.
The Elwha and White Salmon rivers are already beginning to restore themselves. Once the dams are completely removed, salmon and steelhead will have access to upstream habitat for the first time in 100 years. The Klallam people on the Elwha and the Yakama on the White Salmon will have vital parts of their culture and heritage restored. The free-flowing rivers will also create new fishing, paddling, and other recreation opportunities.
"I was so determined that the river run free and that the fish would return. I couldn't stop. I always believed that Condit Dam would come down someday. What I didn't think would happen, is that it would be in my lifetime," said Phyllis Clausen of Friends of the White Salmon in the video.

The Walking Dead
The Walking Dead Marathon Starts July 4, 2014! See AMC Schedule
UPDATE: Here are more details on AMC's "Dead, White, and Blue" Fourth of July weekend marathon, which will include a Season 5 preview special and two cool documentaries!
Original story:
Yes! AMC is once again giving The Walking Dead fans an excuse to be shut-ins over Fourth of July weekend. If you've seen one fireworks display you've seen them all, but each episode of TWD is a unique snowflake and we never get tired of seeing them play out in marathons. Besides, Mary's BBQ > your neighbor's BBQ.
AMC has scheduled another marathon, starting on Friday, July 4, 2014. It's a full series run, beginning with Season 1, Episode 1, "Days Gone Bye," at 9 a.m. ET. The marathon continues into Season 2 that night and keeps going all weekend until Season 4 finishes on the evening of Sunday, July 6. That makes it the first full series marathon to include Season 4 as well. We're up for it!
There was recently a fan report saying AMC was planning a July 4 marathon themed "Dead, White and Blue." This should be it, and we'll have to wait to hear the official news from AMC, along with any extra details. But we can probably expect some Season 5 teases and behind the scenes footage to be included in this marathon, which is extra incentive to watch. AMC is good about rewarding the faithful viewers who put family first — The TWD Family!
The Walking Dead Season 5 premieres in October on AMC.

Shahraj a newcomer among contemporary Indian tantric painters, belongs to Kerala a state described as 'gods own country' and is well-known in india for tantra and black magic, a branch of tantra. He now lives in his own little hamlet in Palakkad district close to the border of the state of Tamilnadu.
Though his mother tongue is Malayalam the language of Kerala, he had his education through Tamil medium in the border region of Tamilnadu. Educated only upto the school final year, even from a very young age he had talent and interest in painting. So he worked as a commercial artist in Coimbatore for a few years drawing advertisement boards. At the same time he was active as a tamil litterateur. He became a recognized short story writer in literary and popular magazines. A writer who has won various prizes and awards for his short stories, he gained recognition among contemporary litterateurs as an anti-poet also. Apart from these occasionally he wrote articles on art and literature and literary reviews. In addition he drew modern drawings / paintings in a few little magazines and in the books of co-litterateurs. He is a multi dimentional creator whose opinions, poetries and paintings create controversies in the circles of those magazines.
From the begining of this millennium he has given up commercial painting and has become active as a full time litterateur. Spiritualism and music are his other interests. As a result of his grate interest particularly in tantra he was fully involved in metaphysical studies and the creation of tantra paintings since 2010. Though born in a family traditionally engaged in performing pujas Shahraj abandon his faith in god when he was thirteen. An adherent of Osho's philosophy 'There is no god but only godliness', his recent tantric quests have made possible new discloses into the grate truths of Hinduism. His modern tantric paintings are drawn to reveal them. A mixture of various fields including spiritualism, science, psychology, theosaphy and black magic and a combination of creative methods like realism, magical realism and hyper fiction, these modern and post modern tantric paintings are a fusion of Indian tradition and European modernism.
This website is primarily meant for the contemporary modern tantric paintings and the articles of Shahraj. In addition, some of his selected anti-poetries and tantric poetries also find a place for your viewing. Very soon he is going to conduct a one man show of his modern tantric paintings in Coimbatore.

Garcia says he dreads the arrival of spring because he is a snow sculptor.
Grand Rapids, MI (WZZM) --After such a fierce winter, many people can't wait for the sun to come out and the snow to melt.
But not Stephen Garcia of Grand Rapids Township.
"It's really depressing when the sun comes out," he says with a laugh. "I curse it. The sun is my enemy."
Garcia says he dreads the arrival of spring because he is a snow sculptor. All around his house he creates art from piles of snow. This year a giant snow shark with gaping red mouth dominates his front lawn.
"I had a strange creativity but never could figure out how to use it," he explains. "When I moved here 12 years ago I started playing in the snow like a little kid and I figured out this is kind of artsy. People started stopping and looking."
Garcia puts in many hours of his free time making snow art on his lawn. He says it is hard work, but it gives him pleasure.
"Mostly just to see people laughing and liking it," he says. "I like to see people get excited by it."
After entertaining and amazing his neighbors with snow sculptures of dinosaurs, crocodiles, a fluorescent tiger and a surfing rabbit, Garcia suddenly stopped working in the snow 5 years ago.
He says he was tired, out of energy.
But this year he says there is so much snow, he couldn't resist going back outside.
"There was so much snow I didn't have to work that much to get a pile going," he says. "Now I want to regain my youth."

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Saluki freshman thrower Josh Freeman became the first ever 19-and-under Saluki male athlete to earn a spot on Team USA after his second-place finish in the shot put on Thursday at the USA Outdoor Track and Field Junior Championships.
Freeman threw 19.72m (64-08.50) for second place and will join champion Coy Blair of Purdue as the two junior Team USA representatives in the shot put at the Pan Am Junior Athletics Championships held in Medellin, Columbia, from Aug. 23-25.
The native of Fox River Grove, Ill., is coming off a superb freshman season at SIU where he earned two All-MVC honors in the shot put, one of those coming from an individual championship outdoors. In the Saluki record books, Freeman already ranks fifth all-time in the indoor shot put, and sixth all-time outdoors.
Southern will have two competitors on Friday, one each in the junior and senior championships. Freshman Brandon Shemonia will run in the 10,000 meter run at 9 p.m., and at 5 p.m. five-time All-American and former Saluki J.C. Lambert will compete in the hammer throw.

Some were concerned that our new uniforms would look like the Minnesota Gophers. No more with the changes they made. They now have six combinations. Take a look. Do they look black to you instead of maroon? It's a new color from goofy Brewster.
kare11.com :: KARE 11 TV - Sports News Articles Gopher football team unveils new uniforms
Cocah Brewster said Wednesday the new uniforms will make the team faster.
Ha, theres only make them faster! Ours make us faster and stronger!
They look pretty maroon to me...

"The fit is a lot more tighter, it makes you feel a lot more faster, cuz you know the design is a lot more tight."
Yep that describes them perfectly!
I like ours a LOT better.
I like them. I like ours better but they have good looking unis. I really like the white and white combo.
As a long time Gopher fan I initially hated them, thought our old uni's were better, but they are starting to grow on me. Supposedly all the recruits liked them so what the heck.
I am hoping Minny, Indiana, Purdue and Illinois become really good for some reason. They jerseys look better.
If I was a Gopher fan, I would find it somewhat disconcerting that my head football coach is so into uniform styles and colors; wouldn't he have more important things to concern himself with?

Well he does already have 4 recruits commited for next year. (I know I know, most people here hate Minnesota and Brewster, but I'll actually stand up for him).
I know this is kind of off topic, but having grown up in eastern Iowa and knowing how the Minnesota game is EIU's big rivalry, I find it funny that the gophers don't really give a crap about the hawks. Its just another game to those folks up here.....Now mix in the badgers and there is minnie's boarder battle game....thats their rivalry game. Myabe EIU should take the Gophers off the schedule too, for lack of recognition....
Not a fan of the half stripe on the side of the knee, and way to much piping for me.
