Several months ago my husband and I were at the movies and we saw a trailer for a film called Rise of the Guardians. We both did not know what to make of the film. It featured Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy, Jack Frost and the Sandman. That was sort of an odd collection of characters. We assumed it was a Christmas move since it was just before the holidays when we saw the trailer. The trailer was enough to intrigue us. We love holiday movies so we added Rise of the Guardians as a movie we needed to see.
Sadly, we never saw the film in the movie theater. Thankfully the movie is not going to be available on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital Download. Look for it where ever movies are sold starting tomorrow, March 12, 2013.
I received an advanced screener copy and I was so excited to watch it that we made a Family Movie Night out of it, with the exception of our daughter who slept over her friends house.
Before watching the film I assumed it was a Christmas movie. In the trailers it seemed like Santa was the main character. I was surprised to see that he wasn't the main character but one of the main characters. There are several main characters including Jack Frost, the Sandman, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and of course Santa. In fact the main character is really Jack Frost.
Santa, the Easter Bunny, the Sandman and the Tooth Fairy are known as "guardians". The guardians protect the hopes and dreams of children all over the world.
The characters are not cute and cuddly like you have seen them in other movies. Santa is a big, burly guy with tattoos (voiced by Alex Baldwin). The Easter Bunny (voiced by Hugh Jackman) can be a bit gruff. He's certainly not a fuzzy little bunny that you want to snuggle with. And the Tooth Fairy (Isla Fisher) is a humming bird/bird like fairy, not a traditional fairy.
The guardians learn about an evil plot by the wicked spirit called Pitch (Jude Law) they need to ban together to find a way to stop them.
The guardians are ruled by the moon, and the moon directs them into what they should be doing. The moon tells the guardians that there is another one, a new guardian, who can help them to defeat Pitch – Jack Frost (voiced by Chris Pine).
Jack Frost has no interest in helping anyone out. He's a loaner and typically uses his powers against humans, not to help him. After all, Jack Frost is responsible for the snow and ice that makes people slip and hurt themselves and cars have accidents. How is that someone like Jack Frost could even be considered a guardian. Since they others have to go by what the moon tells them it's up to them to convince Jack Frost to help them against Pitch.
Initially Jack is reluctant to join the other guardians. He doesn't see himself as a guardian and is not interested in helping them wage a war against Pitch. With each passing day Pitch is becoming more and more of a threat and without Jack's help the other guardians might be powerless against him.
Will Jack Frost finally give in and help the other guardians, or will Pitch find a way to take over the world once and for all? To find out you'll just have to pick up a copy of Rise of the Guardians, available every where movies are sold on March 12, 2013.
Some Rise of the Guardians packages also include a pair of hopping eggs (just wind them up and they hop around).
I didn't see this as a Christmas movie. If anything I think it would lean more towards Easter, which would make this a great Easter basket stuffer (especially if you can get the package with the hopping Easter Eggs). This movie can actually be enjoyed any time of the year too. Even though if features a couple of holiday characters (Santa, Easter Bunny…) you can still watch this in the middle of July and it would not see odd, unlike watching Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer.
I loved the movie. Visually speaking the animation was amazing. I imagine it would have been so much nicer on the big screen. Still, on my TV the colors were vibrant and spectacular and the animation was truly amazing.
The characters were like-able. I was a little "iffy" about them at first but as the movie when on I liked them more and more.
Overall it was a fun movie for the whole family. My husband loved it and even my hard to impress 13 year old liked it.
There are a few scenes involving Pitch that might be a tiny bit scary for younger children (the under 5 crowd). You will have make that judgement yourself when it comes to your own child or grandchild. I would think most kids would be fine but the overly sensitive or easily scared children might find Pitch, especially his horses, a bit creepy.
There are A LOT of great bonus features that come in the Blu-ray/DVD combo pack.

I haven't made my way through all of the bonus features yet. We did play both of the games. I actually got pretty good at throwing snowballs and dodging them in the Jack Frost Snowball Showdown! game.
I have to put the DVD in my computer to check out the printables. I haven't done that yet. I love that they offer printables. I think that is a cute idea for a bonus feature.
Dreamers and Believers is a great feature because you get to see the cast of the film. I would have loved to have been on that set, especially with Huge Jackman, Chris Pine, Jude Law and Alex Baldwin. 🙂
Dreaming Up the Look and Naughty & Nice also provide viewers with an in depth behind the scenes look at what it took to bring these characters and their world to life. It's truly fascinating.
Rise of the Guardians is a great Easter gift for your child or grandchild and a perfect addition to any family's movie collection.
Look for Rise of the Guardians where ever movies are sold.
You can also check out the film's official website, www.RiseoftheGuardians.com. There are games and printables on the movie's website too. There is even an app you can download.

Foreshadows Most Expensive 'Discussion' in State History
Democratic candidate for governor Maggie Hassan confirmed today that she would like to raise taxes and fees if elected governor. Speaking at a gubernatorial forum Hassan said she would increase taxes on cigarettes and welcome a discussion on tolling New Hampshire's roads and increasing the gas tax.
Hassan's remarks can be heard at this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxHHNexFal0&feature=youtu.be
"Today Maggie Hassan admitted that the 33 tax and fee hikes she imposed as Majority Leader in the state Senate were just a starting point," said RGA communications director Mike Schrimpf. "Beginning with her support in 2002 of an income tax, continuing with her vote as a state senator to increase taxes and fees by $300 million, and now on to her campaign for governor, it's clear that Maggie Hassan thinks New Hampshire residents should be paying more taxes.
"Here's a tip for all New Hampshire residents: When Maggie Hassan says 'we should have a discussion,' she means 'you should pay more in taxes,'" Schrimpf continued. "If you see her on the campaign trail, just wave, but don't stop and talk – you can't afford it."
"The fact is, Maggie Hassan is a skilled politician, but even she can't hide the fact that she really wants New Hampshire residents to pay higher taxes across the board," Schrimpf concluded.

ColorofChange.org: 36 companies have now dropped ads from Beck
Blog ››› ››› MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
From an August 24 ColorofChange.org press release:
Facing increased pressure from ColorOfChange.org members, 16 new companies have pledged not to run additional ads on Fox News Channel's Glenn Beck Program. Thirty-six companies have now committed not to support Beck's show since ColorOfChange.org launched its campaign three weeks ago.
The defections come as ColorOfChange.org members mobilized last week against corporations who still refused to pull their ads from Glenn Beck by placing thousands of phone calls to company executives. By the end of the week, three of these companies - Clorox, Lowe's and Sprint - had pledged not to run additional ads; Red Lobster and Vonage have not yet responded.
The new companies distancing themselves from Beck include Airware Inc. (makers of Brez anti-snoring aids), Ancestry.com, AT&T, Blaine Labs Inc., Campbell Soup Company, Clorox, Ditech, The Elations Company, Experian (creator of FreeCreditReport.com), Farmers Insurance Group, Johnson & Johnson (makers of Tylenol), Lowe's, NutriSystem, Sprint, The UPS Store and Verizon Wireless. They join twenty other companies who previously pledged not to run additional ads on Glenn Beck. The moves come after the Fox News Channel host called President Obama a "racist" who "has a deep-seated hatred for white people" during an appearance on Fox & Friends.

2013 John Anson Ford Theatres Season Announced
The Los Angeles County Arts Commission announced the 2013 John Anson Ford Theatres summer season. It marks the 20-year anniversary of the Ford Partnership Program, which nurtures locally-based artists, arts organizations and community, celebrating and reflecting on stage the diversity of the people of Los Angeles County. The Ford summer season opens June 7 and runs through October 12. Full schedule detailed below. Tickets can be purchased at FordTheatres.org or by calling (323) 461-3673.
To coincide with the 20-year anniversary, the LA County Arts Commission presents the inaugural Zev Yaroslavsky Signatures Series. This two-concert program benefitting the Ford Theatre Foundation pairs world-renowned performers with a local treasure. With support provided by L.A. County Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky, the Signature Series kicks off on June 9 with Tony Award-winnerMandy Patinkin in concert with the Pasadena POPS. The evening will dazzle with this musical adaptation of popular song and Broadway classics. On August 10, Lula Washington Dance Theatre joins Complexions Contemporary Ballet featuring Los Angeles premieres and audience favorites. "Over many decades, the Ford has become one of our most distinctive County performing arts venues, a first-class and truly unique space," Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky said. "I want to make sure that the Ford's diverse programming remains accessible to all of our Los Angeles communities."
The Ford Theatres, owned and operated by the County of Los Angeles, has a rich history dating back to the 1920s. Former L.A. County Supervisor Ed Edelman championed the theatre, supporting the creation of the first summer season, named "Summer Nights at the Ford," in 1993. The program was designed to enable Los Angeles County-area music, dance and theatre groups to produce successfully in a major venue, providing production and marketing support and often facilitating their first important public appearances. Twenty years later, the program is more robust than ever and has served hundreds of arts organizations and producers. "Supervisor Edelman saw the Ford as a County asset that was being under-utilized," says Laura Zucker, Executive Director of the L.A. County Art Commission. "He challenged us to find a way to restore the shine to this local treasure and we responded with a program that offers a physical location, technical assistance and a way to generate revenue. We've watched these organizations flourish, building capacity and connecting to new audiences."
Highlights of the 2013 summer season include the Ford return of Viver Brasil Dance Company, with a world premiere piece entitled Intersections / Ajê celebrating the Afro-Brazilian dance company's 15th anniversary, and the Fountain Theatre, with their popular Forever Flamenco featuring a special tribute to co-founder Deborah Lawlor. Colibri Entertainment honors Freddy Fender's musical influence with ¡Viva La Tradición! A Tribute to Freddy Fender, featuring The Texmaniacs, Flaco Jimenez, Rick Treviño and other guests.New to the Ford this year is Leimert Park's World Stage Performance Gallery, bringing Jazz Masters: A Tribute to Kenny Burrell; ROCK OUT! with Wayne Kramer, a Jail Guitar Doors Benefit Concert; and MARA, the masterMIND behind it all..., an evening of Indian dance theatre performed to a mix of Indian classical music and jazz presented by the Shakti Dance Company.
The Big!World!Fun! family series offers music and dance appropriate for children ages 4 to 12 and is presented on Saturday mornings in July and August in the outdoor amphitheatre. Children are admitted FREE and adults pay $5. J.A.M. Sessions is a FREE
During the off season, the Ford completed the first phase of planned renovations. Audiences for the 2013 summer season will be greeted by new seats in the amphitheatre, making their evening of entertainment under the stars - a Southern California tradition - a bit more comfortable.
ABOUT THE FORD At 1,196 seats, the Ford Theatres creates an intimate concert experience that is a favorite among Angelenos. Each summer, the Ford hosts a diverse roster of events representing music and dance styles reflective of the communities that comprise Los Angeles County. Operated by the Los Angeles County Arts Commission, the Ford summer season events are in partnership with Los Angeles County-based arts organizations and producers. Unlike a traditional presenting model, these organizations apply to be part of the season and receive significant marketing, box office and house management support while keeping the majority of box office proceeds. This historic venue was built in 1920 and is located in a beautiful County park in the Hollywood Hills, just off the 101 Hollywood Freeway across from the Hollywood Bowl and south of Universal Studios.
ABOUT THE LA COUNTY ARTS COMMISSION The Los Angeles County Arts Commission fosters excellence, diversity, vitality, understanding and accessibility of the arts in Los Angeles County. The Commission provides leadership in cultural services for the County, encompassing 88 municipalities, including funding and job opportunities, professional development, and general resources for the community, artists, educators, arts organizations and municipalities. For more information, visitlacountyarts.org.
SEASON AND SERIES SPONSORS AND FUNDERS The Ford Amphitheatre 2013 season is a program of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission with core support provided by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. Additional supporters include Angell Foundation; The Boeing Employees Community Fund; Department of Cultural Affairs, City of Los Angeles; Discover Hollywood; The Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation; The James Irvine Foundation; L.A. Parent; Kenneth T. & Eileen L. Norris Foundation; KPFK Radio, 90.7 FM; Tom LaBonge, City of Los Angeles 4th District; LA Weekly; LA18; Macy's; The Ralph M. Parsons Foundation; Sony Pictures Entertainment; Wells Fargo; Supervisor Zev Yaroslavsky; Yelp.com.

I've found a lot of great apps thanks to commenters on our site, and credit for this one goes to an anonymous visitor on our article about automatically restarting crashed apps. The program I'm talking about is called Kiwi, and it has some unique monitoring capabilities that aren't found in many other applications. There are both free and paid versions, but I know that the functionality offered in the free version will appeal to some of you.
Kiwi will monitor any application that you tell it to, and can either report back or take action based on certain events. What do I mean? One good example is that Kiwi can both alert you when an application exceeds a certain amount of memory usage, and if desired it can even close the offending program. That's just one example of the monitors available in the free version. Here's a quick list of the other things available:
- You can get alerted when via email:
- When a program starts
- When a program ends
- When it exceeds a specified amount of memory usage
- When it has been running for a specified amount of time
- You can take the following actions:
- Close a program after it exceeds a specified amount of memory usage
- Close a program after it exceeds a specified amount of CPU time
- Close a program after it has been running for a specified amount of time
- When a program ends, turn off the computer
- When a program starts, execute a specified application
- When a program ends, execute a specified application
The paid version offers a ton of different monitoring options including remaining hard drive space, testing IP/URL availability, checking to see if a file exists, and checking whether an app is inactive or unresponsive. What's nice is that you can see all of the features that would be available to you by flipping over to the advanced tab. There's upwards of 75 monitors/actions that you'll need to upgrade if you want to use them, but that doesn't detract from the usefulness of the free version.

Michael Phipps of Haiku

Attending tech conferences as well as perfoming booth duty means that I get to meet and converse with a lot of technical people, many of whom are project leads. The ones who stick out in my memory are those who are really passionate about their project. Combine that passion with sound engineering design and you have my complete attention.
Michael Phipps of
definitely had my full attention when I met him at SCALE in February. I know I'll be spending some time with Haiku once it is released. In the mean time, Michael was kind enough to answer some questions regarding the project.
For the benefit of those who aren't familiar with Haiku, please describe its evolution (from BeOS and OpenBeOS) and how you became Project Lead.
In August of 2001, Be, Inc announced that they were going to stop development on BeOS and sell their intellectual property to Palm, Inc. The general feeling in the community was that it was not acceptable that such a wonderful operating system should fade away. I personally had felt that this was coming for some time, so I tried many other operating systems and didn't find any that suited my needs.
I posted to the mailing list that we should write our own, open source version of BeOS. The response was generally positive and we got started.
A few years into OpenBeOS, when it became obvious that we would be in this for the long haul, I thought about my personal liability if Palm should press their trademark, so we had a naming contest and Haiku was chosen. We also filed for and received 501(c)3 status from the IRS in August of 2004.
The Haiku website states that the "Be Operating System introduced progressive concepts and technologies that we believe represent the ideal means to the end of desktop computing." What concepts are you referring to?
There are a lot of "little things" that make Haiku unique. Few of them do not exist on any other platform, but they haven't been put together in one place before.
Zero configuration is very important. You can remove a hard drive from a BeOS or Haiku computer, put it in another computer and the hardware (that drivers exist for) "just works". No need to reinstall drivers or mess with setup. That means that one shared disk image, for example, could be used to image thousands of different machines easily. A full backup of a Haiku drive is as easy as zip.
Bundling the whole OS together, as compared to, say, Linux, allows us to stay out of a lot of the dependency issues that other operating systems have. By going further and building a lot of functionality into the OS, we will try to reduce that even more.
We respect your hardware. It is outrageous that an OS should require 1 gigabyte of disk space to install in or a new video card. You buy your computer to run applications, not operating systems.
Every PC out there will be multi-core and/or multi-processor before long. Haiku was built from the ground up to take advantage of that in ways that other systems do not. Every window runs in a separate thread. This makes the user interface seem much more responsive than other systems.
Haiku's intended audience is desktop users. As a desktop user, how will the Haiku experience compare with commercial offerings such as Vista or Mac OS X? Or with other Open Source offerings such as PC-BSD or Ubuntu?
Our initial release is all about matching what Be delivered in 1999, but in an open source offering. We realize that 1999 was a long time ago and that the state of the art has moved on since then. Our second and third releases will be focused on moving up to and beyond the state of the art.
Haiku uses the
file system which supports an unlimited number of extended attributes. Why is that useful and how does that compare to other Open Source (such as EXT3 or UFS) or commercial filesystems (such as MS and Apple filesystems)?
Attributes are data that are about the file but not stored in the file. All filesystems support things like "filename" and "modified date". Attributes allow the end user to store any information in the same way. One example is music files. ID3 tags store data about an MP3 inside the file. With Haiku, you can store that data outside the file (thus supporting getting this data from any music file with the same source code) and allows you to query from the desktop. We store contact (PIM) information with all of the data in attributes. Users can create arbitrary attributes on any file type or unique to one file. So, for example, you can attach a "todo" list to a word processing document. Or you could attach lyrics or liner notes to an MP3. Our filesystem allows you to decide which attributes are indexed, as well, so you can quickly search for files on your system based on the criteria that you often choose.
Software dependencies are an issue many desktop users don't know how to resolve, and it could be argued, shouldn't have to resolve. How does Haiku handle library changes and reduce the likelihood of "dependency hell"?
Dependencies are caused by programmers using shared libraries. Shared libraries are good because they reduce load on system resources, make software more stable and easier to write. They are, however, hard to manage. Haiku follows in the BeOS tradition by trying to include all of the functionality that developers are likely to need to build an application. In doing so, it becomes less likely that they will need external code to begin with. We also work very hard to keep our libraries binary backward compatible.
For cases where the developer does decide that they need to include some external code, our runtime loader will resolve library and other dependencies in such a way that applications can be installed self contained in a single folder anywhere on the system. It does so by first looking for libraries in the application's folder, then among the user installed libraries, then among the system libraries. Many BeOS developers release software with all the needed libraries included and in such a way that the installation expands to a self contained folder which the user can then put anywhere. On current computers, the painless handling of selfcontained software is more important than the benefit in efficiency, if libraries are reused. However, Haiku supports both.
Choosing an Open Source license which meets a project's goals is a difficult task. Please describe the thought process that went into choosing the MIT license for Haiku.
Business friendly was the major key. I actually see
as a good thing. If someone wants to roll some of Haiku's code into another project, it doesn't take away from Haiku, but adds to the rest of the world. The more people using Haiku code, the more people know the code base and the more developers we will attract. Haiku is and always will be free - no one can take that freedom from anyone else, even if they build a locked down version of Haiku.
Please provide an overview of the
build tool and why it is used instead of Makefiles.
Jam features a simple yet powerful procedural language. It does already come with large set of procedures, called rules, that your build system can extend and override. It is possible to define a simple reusable rule for an arbitrarily complex task. For instance adding an application to Haiku's build system is as simple as this:
Application 〈app name〉 : 〈list of sources〉 : 〈list of libraries〉 ;
All the magic is done by the "Application" rule and the rules it invokes. For a shared library replace "Application" by "SharedLibrary".
Names identifying Jam build targets are usually path-less, and Jam uses only a single namespace for targets. Names of source and object files are automagically made unique by the rules that work with them, using a concept called grist (a string normally derived from the relative path of the file prepended to its name). An advantage of this approach is, that it allows to refer to your "high level" targets by a short name. E.g. you can simply pass "libfoo.so" as library to be linked against to the "Application" rule and Jam will find it regardless were it is built and placed.
At a larger scale this is also how we specify the contents of Haiku's disk image. It's all done in a single file -- basically a large listing of the targets and in which directory they should be located in the image.
Another nice feature of Jam is its fast built-in mechanism for scanning source and header files for dependencies. Fully done on-the-fly -- no outdated objects, no need for an explicit "make deps" or the like.
Currently Haiku's build system contains about 950 Jamfiles. After an initial run on a two or three generations old computer Jam needs only a few seconds to parse and execute them, and only a few more seconds for doing a complete header dependency analysis for everything on Haiku's disk image. A recursive make system would not only lack the nice features, it also wouldn't even come close performance-wise.
Once Haiku is released, what software will be available? Anything from
(or elsewhere)? Will there be a built-in package manager to ease the installation and de-installation of software?
We are nearly 100% binary backward compatible with BeOS. We ran a copy of Mojo from 1998 a few weeks ago and it worked flawlessly. The community is smaller than it used to be, but I believe that our first release will bring a swell of developers back much like what Be had in the late 90s.
Package management is still somewhat up in the air. Many BeOS applications right now use zip files.
While KDE is making strides in Human Interface Design, Open Source desktops still tend to lag in this area. How will Haiku compare?
We have a number of volunteers who are exceedingly passionate about
, myself included. BeOS, in my opinion, has always been the easiest operating system to use and maintain. Haiku strives to meet and exceed that ideal.
Anything else I missed and you'd like to mention?
Like every open source project, we are looking for more help. If you are an experienced C++ developer and would like the chance to be a significant part of an OSS project, Haiku might be for you!

Great post Dru, I didn't know anything about BeOs/OpenBeOS/Haiku. Also, I would have asked him about the level of haiku with respect of hardware compatibility (drivers).

I was attracted to your post based on your opener for booth duty, then read your enjoyable open-source update starting from where I left off with BeOS several years ago. Here is a recent link to one of the first open-source projects back in 1981 - certainly the first for embedded mobile devices:

That's nice, I have been using BeOS 4.5 years and years ago, it was really an OS in front of the others.

Life with the Lady Flames: Megan's Minute
Well, we had our first road trip of the season this past weekend. Since we lost to VCU (Virginia Commonwealth University) in our first game, we were put into a consolation bracket in the Preseason WNIT. We were assigned to play at Western Carolina along with Lafayette, UC Riverside and Western Carolina. It was a pretty fun road trip!
We also have a week off from school this week, because of Thanksgiving break, which is nice. A lot of the girls chose to spend the bus ride catching up on some much-needed rest. Some of the other girls, including myself, worked on some schoolwork on the bus. I always enjoy road trips, because there is a lot of quality bonding time as a team.
One thing that is always fun, is to find out who you will be rooming with for each particular road trip. It is pretty neat, because we rotate roommates for each road game. As a result, we have a chance to room with every single person on the team throughout the course of the year! My first roommate was Becca Lightfoot (a fellow senior on the team).
We left Lynchburg on Thursday morning and then had practice in the afternoon at Western Carolina. Friday was game day for us! We were matched up with UC Riverside on the first day. It was a hard-fought game throughout, with various lead changes during the game. It was a pretty exciting game down to the very last second.
We were up by two points with about six seconds to go in the game. UC Riverside then passed the ball in bounds and a girl hit a three-pointer on us, which put them up by one with just under four seconds left in the game. Coach Green then called a timeout, and we ran a play that allowed us to get the ball across half court, where we then called another timeout. Coach drew up another play, and we attempted to run it, but UC Riverside intercepted the ball. Next thing I know, the referee blew the whistle. I was thinking someone fouled the girl who had intercepted the pass. We came to find out the girl had traveled, which gave us the ball back one last time.
I looked up at the clock, and we had 0.9 seconds left to play and possession of the ball under our basket. Coach drew up another play that we executed perfectly. It truly was a great team win! Everyone did what they were supposed to do, and we ended up making a layup to win the game! That game goes to show you, that no matter what, a person should never give up and should always keep fighting. The Lord chose to bless us on Friday night. I know there are not too many situations when a team is behind with 0.9 seconds to go and is still able to win the game.
On Saturday, we played Western Carolina (the winner of the game between Western Carolina and Lafayette). I was not able to play, because in the last second of the previous night's game, I sprained my ankle. How I wish I could have played, but the Lord had other plans.
Western Carolina was a tough game for us, and we ended up coming out on the short end. It is tough to lose anytime, but I think through the loss we will gain knowledge of things that each and every one of us need to work on and improve for the betterment of the team. We have a lot of talent on the team, but also a lot of youth. With each and every game, we will continue to unify and draw closer to one another.
Saturday night, everyone on the team was a little down, but we were able to spend some quality time with one another. We went back to our hotel and ate in one of the restaurants there. It was a lot of fun, because our team had our own room to eat in. It was a great time to be able to talk with each other and really just enjoy one another. We all know there is more to life than basketball, so it was great being able to chill off the court as a team.
We had a lot of laughs that night. Each of us went around and shared what we did not like to eat, but probably one of the funniest things I heard all night was from Rachel Hammond. She was doing a pretend toast with water and she said, "There are steel ships, and there are wood ships, but the best ships are FRIENDSHIPS." Everybody started dying laughing, but that statement really is true.
As I think about Thanksgiving time approaching, I reflect back. I truly am thankful for the many friends the Lord has brought into my life. I have so many things to be thankful for in my life. I am most thankful to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! He is who I live for and who I desire to follow. As we approach this Thanksgiving, I encourage everyone to take time and think about who or what you are thankful for!
Well, I guess that is all from me for now. Our next games are this coming weekend, when we play in a Thanksgiving tournament at George Washington in Washington, D.C. We will keep you posted on how we do!
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

UPPER ARLINGTON -- Gertrud Relle, 93, passed away on Wednesday, March 20, 2013, at her home. Also known as Trudi, she was born in Karlsruhe, a region of Baden-Baden Germany on Dec. 2, 1919, to Eugen and Else Tubach. She is preceded in death by her husband, Ferenc M. Relle and a brother, Artur Tubach.
Trudi was educated in vocal music and theater arts. Upon completion of her examinations, she was certified as theater-ready (Buehnenreife.) She was employed as an opera singer (coloratura soprano) in the "chorus with solo" at the Mulhausen/Alsace Municipal Theatre/Opera House. She also went to business school and trained as a machine bookkeeper, because her father insisted that in those uncertain times she needed a second profession.
After Mulhausen, Trudi lived in Bavaria which became part of the American Zone after the war. Trudi then sang in performances for the American troops -- singing a whole new repertoire of songs and doing it in English.
She met Ferenc, a Hungarian, in Landshut where they were married in 1946. Their son, Ferenc Jr., was born in Landshut. Later, as Displaced Persons (DP's) in Munich, they stayed in a DP camp of 12,000 people.
Trudi, Ferenc and their son were sponsored to the United States by Brookwood Presbyterian Church (Columbus, Ohio) through Church World Services. With a group of orphans in their care, they arrived at Ellis Island on Nov. 14, 1951, aboard the transport ship, the USNS General C.C. Ballou. After leaving Ellis Island, the orphans were taken to their sponsors and Trudi and her family were put on the train to Columbus where they were met by the Rev. and Mrs. Keith Conning. They became members of Brookwood Presbyterian Church, joined the Young Couples Club and served in many capacities throughout their 62 year membership. They led Brookwood's effort to sponsor six more people to the U.S., some of whom were Hungarians from the 1956 Revolution.
On Dec. 14, 1956, Gertrud took the Oath of Allegiance and proudly became a citizen of the United States of America.
Trudi sang for many functions and with various groups such as the Germania Trio, the Columbus Damenchor, and Vaudvillities. She was a charter member of the Columbus Symphony Chorus. For many years, Trudi sang the Star Spangled Banner for the opening of the Central Ohio United Nations Festival (now known as the International Festival). For 56 years, Trudi continued to sing with the Damenchor of the Columbus Maennerchor, who are scheduled to perform during the Friday evening visitation hours.
Trudi had been a lifeguard on the Rhine River in her youth, and continued to swim for exercise. For over 45 years, she tended several large vegetable plots and gardens of flowers. She was a long time member of Civitan, an international service organization, and travelled with Ferenc throughout the U.S. and parts of the world for Civitan functions. She volunteered for Special Olympics held at the local, state and international levels. She enjoyed playing board and card games with her family.
On Oct. 9, 2010, Gertrud and Ferenc celebrated their 64th anniversary and Ferenc passed away the next day; ironically on the same day Trudi's father died in 1946. Also, Gertrud passed away the day after her oldest son celebrated his 66th birthday on March 19, 2013.
Gertrud is survived by children, Ferenc Matyas (Candace) Relle Jr. of Wooster, Ava (Mike) Gegenheimer of Upper Arlington, and Dr. Attila Tibor (Kim) Relle, also of Upper Arlington; grandchildren, Monica (Amos) Wright of Bath, Me., Dr. Ferenc Nicholas (Rachel) Relle of Wooster, Anneliese Gegenheimer of Chicago, Gabriella and Brigitta Gegenheimer and Ilona Relle, all of Upper Arlington; great-grandchildren, Declan and Frida Wright, Kalie, Calen, and Emmett Relle; a sister, Eugenie Carr of Tempe, Ariz.; sisters-in-law, Eva Relle of Gyor, Hungary, and Anne Relle of Cary, N.C.; a niece, Maureen Schandert; nephews, Brian and Paul Relle; cousins, Angelika Palm and Werner Schlag of Bonn, Germany; and a host of other family and friends in Germany and Hungary.
Family will receive friends on Friday, March 29, from 2-4 and 6-8 p.m. at Schoedinger Northwest Chapel, 1740 Zollinger Road, Columbus 43221.
Funeral services will be on Saturday, March 30, at 10 a.m. at Brookwood Presbyterian Church, 2685 E. Livingston Ave., Columbus 43209, where visitation will be from 9-10 a.m. prior to the service. Pastor John Birkner will officiate. Interment will be in Dublin Cemetery.
Contributions may be made in Gertrud's memory to Ohio Special Olympics, 3303 Winchester Pike, Columbus 43232. Please visit www.schoedinger.com.

[Plugin: WordPress Content Slide] Titles positioned on top of image links
In my content slide with custom images, I positioned my titles on top of the images (http://investigativereportingprogram.com).
As you can see in your own demo (http://wptuts.info/wp-content-slide/) the images work as links but the titles are output in div.cs-title, which does not work as a link. This may be okay when the title is below the image, but it's a problem when the title is positioned on top of the image.
So I modified coin-slider.js to add an absolutely-positioned element (div.titleLink) within the slide link, and used z-index to stack that empty element, which picks up the link, on top of my titles.
This is pretty complicated and requires I modify coin-slider.js whenever the plugin is updated. Is there an easier way to make the titles in div.cs-title work as links that doesn't require modifying the plugin files?

Might Have to Take the PlungeAug 10th, 2012 | By Editorial Staff | Category: Geri Roskopf's Blog
As you know, advice I am not a fan of Facebook, sales or let's just say I'm a bit skeptical of this form of communication. I think I'm cautious in a world where everything in a person's life is out there for all to see. My kids tell me it's the only way to stay connected and updated on what's happening with friends and family. My friends who are grandparents say it's wonderful to see new photos of their grandkids and their activities. And I've been told having a Facebook business account is right up there with Google when consumers are searching for a product or service.
I spoke with a friend who says she does little in the way of traditional advertising for her business such as Yellow Pages and brochures. Most of her potential customers have come word of mouth (which I think is probably the best and cheapest advertising a business could ask for) and the Internet.
If you would have told me five years ago that my towing business needed to be connected to the Internet for advertising, I would have said you were crazy. How could a customer look me up on their computer while they're stranded on the side of the road?
Guess I'm the one who's crazy for not taking the plunge. It might take a bit more time, but I'll keep you posted on when I test the waters of Facebook.

Volleyball: Cannon Falls wins five-set thriller over Kenyon-Wanamingo
In the second family showdown, Cannon Falls head volleyball coach Melissa Huseth continues to hold an edge over her sister, Jen Nerision, as the Huseth-led Bombers won a five-set thriller over Kenyon-Wanamingo, 25-20, 21-25, 25-15, 26-28, 15-10, Thursday in Kenyon.
"It was such a hard-fought game; it was bittersweet for sure," Huseth said. "Many of our girls were coached by Jen, too, when she was a coach here. They wanted to win, but they don't want to play against Jen."
After dropping a heartbreaker in the fourth set, Cannon Falls got off to a fast start in the decisive fifth set. Opening with a 6-0 lead, the Bombers never relented as they secured the Hiawatha Valley League victory.
"The girls knew they had to come out strong with the serve," Huseth said. "We were in the driver's seat and continued to attack the ball."
Carly Broze was Cannon Falls' top hitter with 16 kills. Hailey Huseth put in a strong effort in the family affair, helping her mom's cause with 10 kills, 21 set assists and three ace serves. Becca Vandenheuvel shored up the back row with 36 digs, and Lydia Franken quarterbacked the Bombers' offense with 31 set assists.
"I knew it was going to be a great match; K-W has a good program," Melissa Huseth said. "I knew it would be a hard-fought point-by-point match. During the break, the girls said, "Coach, we got this one," and they had the confidence that they knew they could do it. … It really could have gone either way."
Mara Quam finished with a team-high 14 kills for the Knights, while setter Meg Clark added 42 set assists in the loss. Audra Clark had a team-leading 15 digs.
Cannon Falls (5-1, 4-0 HVL) heads to the Jackson County Central tournament on Saturday, opening play against Windom, the ninth-ranked team in Class 1A.

Michael Ealy stars as Detective Travis Marks on the new USA Network original drama series COMMON LAW.
From his breakout role in "Barbershop" and "Barbershop 2," Michael Ealy is quickly rising through the ranks as one of Hollywood's leading young actors. He will next be seen starring opposite Taraji P. Henson in Screen Gems' "Think Like A Man," based off the widely successful Steve Harvey novel. He recently starred opposite Kate Beckinsale in "Underworld 4: New Dawn."
Ealy co-starred in last summer's smash box office hit "Takers" opposite Matt Dillon, Idris Elba and Hayden Christensen. He also starred in Tyler Perry's "For Colored Girls" with Janet Jackson, Thandie Newton, Kimberly Elise, Whoopi Goldberg and Phylicia Rashad, which earned him the Best Supporting Actor Award from the African-American Film Critics Association (AAFCA). Ealy starred in Sony Pictures' "Seven Pounds" opposite Will Smith and was personally selected to play the pivotal role of Smith's younger brother in the dark drama by the actor himself. He also starred in Spike Lee's World War II drama "The Miracle at St. Anna."
On television, Ealy was a series regular on the hit CBS series "The Good Wife" with Julianne Marguiles and Christine Baranski. He was featured in a five-episode arc on the Showtime series "Californication" playing Natascha McElhone's love interest. Ealy starred in the hit ABC series "FlashForward" where he portrayed CIA agent Marshall Vogel. He was also featured in the docu-miniseries, "The People Speak," based on Howard Zinn's acclaimed book portraying the historical figure "Malcolm X" alongside other performers including Matt Damon, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Penn, Josh Brolin and Don Cheadle.
Ealy earned a Golden Globe® nomination for lead performance in a mini-series for his portrayal of a Muslim FBI agent sent undercover to infiltrate a terrorist cell in Los Angeles in the Showtime mini-series "Sleeper Cell." The program also earned a Golden Globe® for Best Miniseries and an AFI Honor for Best Program of the Year. He was handpicked by Oprah Winfrey to star opposite Halle Berry in the ABC and Harpo Films telepic, "Their Eyes Were Watching God." The critically acclaimed special was viewed by more than 26 million people and Ealy earned an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Actor in a Television Movie, Mini-Series or Dramatic Special for his portrayal of "Teacake." Ealy also starred in a Sundance selection: the film noir, "Never Die Alone," opposite DMX, for Fox Searchlight Pictures.
A native of Silver Spring, Maryland, Ealy graduated college with a degree in English. Shortly after, he headed to New York where he performed in several stage productions, including the Off-Broadway hits Joe Fearless and Whoa Jack, for which he earned an Adelco Award nomination for his performance.


text: Talked to a lot of BYU football coaches and players this week about how the Cougars are preparing to face Georgia Tech's spread option offense on Saturday, and I learned one particular thing about BYU's team that I didn't really know before. This third or fourth-string quarterback named Christian Stewart, a walk-on from Snow College, is quite the player. A junior, Stewart is pretending to be Georgia Tech quarterback Vad Lee in practices this week as he directs the scout team offense. "Probably the best I've seen at doing it," defensive coordinator Nick Howell said. "He's done a really good job. Christian is a good player. It is fun watching him run the option. I love watching the option. It is fun to defend, too." Actually, Stewart runs the scout team every week, and Howell isn't the first coach or player to say the former Timpanogos High signal-caller is good at what he does. "I would say he duplicates Georgia Tech's quarterback really well. He can move and he can read defenses," said BYU linebacker Austen Jorgensen. A few years ago, when BYU was preparing to face a triple-option team, receiver and holder Matt Marshall would serve as the scout team quarterback, drawing upon his experience running the wishbone at Skyline High for legendary coach Roger DuPaix. Players would also rave about Marshall's ability to play that position as well. Coach Bronco Mendenhall's success against option football is the topic of this story in today's Salt Lake Tribune. Reporters weren't able to get much out of Mendenhall this week about how much loves the challenge of going against the spread option, aside from the one comment included in the article. But other coaches and some players acknowledged it is Bronco's "specialty," as it were. "I think we know what we are doing," Howell said. "And I think coach Mendenhall knows what he is doing. It is from experience. He puts a lot of time into it, a ton of time during the offseason, so we are all on the same page. I think we have a good system. The thing about an option team is they are always going to come out with a little wrinkle that you have never seen. It takes a ton of preparation." More comments on how BYU's defense is preparing to deal with the option: Linebackers coach Paul Tidwell on whether they can duplicate last year's success: "Every year changes, and we are playing more plays now with our fast-paced offense. Can we do it again? Who knows? I think we will go out and we will play hard and we will play well. Guys will do their assignments and I am sure they are improved as an offense. They are putting points on the board. So it will be a good battle." Tidwell on how Georgia Tech does "They've added a few [new formations]. Studying them over the years, there is usually always a little twist with an option team, the way they block it. Maybe the way their running backs are approaching motion, or not in motion. So there is usually a twist or two. You have to keep your game plan simple so your players aren't thinking too much, and are just reacting. If you are thinking too much and have too many calls in and there are too many adjustments, they are going to get you. So you keep it simple."Howell on how BYU was able to stop it last year:"Guys did their assignment in our system, and then in my opinion we had really, really good players. When you have Ziggy and Romney and Russell playing the option, playing the front, you are pretty good. And they did their jobs exactly right, and Ogletree and Uona and Kyle and Spencer and those guys did a really nice job. Last year, our offense ate up the clock, and we were playing with a lead."Howell on not getting beat by the pass: "It is run, run, run, and then you fall asleep and you get beat by a deep pass."Howell on how to get the edge against the option: "You gotta have a negative play. I mean, if they chip at you three yards, three yards, three yards, they are going to go for it on fourth down. … You know, for them to go 0 for 10 last year on third down, that's unheard of. If you get them in third and long, you got a chance. If you get them in third and 2, they are going to get first downs."

The Character of God
The Holiness of God
The Justice of God
The Depravity & Condemnation of Man
The Great Dilemma
God's Action
While maintaining His holiness and justice, the Bible also affirms that God is love, and that in love He has responded to the plight of man.
Motivated by Love
The Cross of Christ
The Resurrection
Man's Response
Repentance begins with a recognition and confession that what God says
A genuine recognition of our sinfulness and guilt will also lead to genuine sorrow, shame and even hatred for what we have done.
Apparent sincerity of confession alone is never definite evidence of genuine repentance. It must be accompanied by a turning away from sin.

"I would rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints"
ISTJ seeks INFJ
I am passionate, affectionate, intuitive, spontaneous, creative, playful, rare (11% of the population!) My friends describge me as loyal, honest, generous, intelligent and humorous.
I was born on the west coast, so mountains are in my blood, but I grew up in Montreal, lived overseas, and ended up in Toronto.
Six months ago, I decided to make some lifestyle changes. After dieting for six months, I am one-third of the way to my goal weight and gotten fitter. After training for 5 months, I completed my second race with a personal record best time and will take on a tougher race in a couple weeks!
So far, I'm loving it and have plans for five more races this year. By year's end, I hope to have two half-marathons under my belt.
- making people laugh
- enjoying life
- having an opinion
- keen observations
- smartass remarks
- kissing
- Positive Attitude
- Youthful appearance
Among other things, I love bookstores, plays, galleries, museums, exhibits, movies, restaurants, conversation, writing, music and long walks. I'll tell you more, as we get to know each other...
The feel and sound of crunching snow underfoot; the crisp smell of fall leaves; cloudless, clear blue skies; the quiet sounds of nature in the very early morning; sunlight dancing through the summer forest's green leaves; the cold, wet, gritty feel of sand between your toes on the shore's edge; the smell of cold, salty ocean air; the refreshing cool breeze after a summer rain shower.
I have a child's curiosity, imagination, and sense of wonder and play.
Other stuff too, but I don't know you yet. Trust me, your patience will be worth the wait!
I am looking for my best friend forever. She is my complement: a passionate, affectionate, intelligent, humorous, confident, considerate, feminine woman, who knows what she wants, but knows how to compromise. The ideal relationship will naturally have its 'ups' and 'downs', and so requires daily care and nurturing to make it flourish.
E-mail me and we'll see where the conversation takes us...

Like others in boos, industry consultant (and DBW partner) Mike Shatzkin thought it would be Barnes & Noble that partnered with Waterstones on selling devices and e-books (Shocking news from the UK: Waterstones selling the Kindle):
The announcement that Waterstones, the nearestUKequivalent to Barnes & Noble as a bookselling chain, will be selling the Kindle in their stores came as somewhat of a shock.
There had been rumors that B&N was closing in on a deal to partner with Waterstones on the Nook.

Things I Learned On My Beach Vacation [PHOTOS]
To say I'm struggling thru my first workday back from vacation is an understatement. After am amazing week at the beach with my family, I almost need another few days off just to recover. It takes a while to adjust back to reality, right? Well, like it or not, my break from the real world is over… dang it!
But, I did learn a few things while beachin'. Check em out!
1. I love the beach. Sure, this isn't a new thing, but I'd forgotten just how much I love the beach. The sand, waves, instant relaxation, smell, sound of the ocean.. yep, I love it. I should make a promise to myself to go to a beach at least once a year.
2. One of my favorite smells in the whole wide world, is the smell of Banana Boat tanning oil. The first little spritz on my legs was heavenly… for real. I took a moment and really smelled it. Actually, I think I maybe inhaled a little too much, but, until I sneezed, it was awesome!
3. I like seafood! When I was little, I walked out the back door of my grandparents house and found my great-granddad and older cousin cleaning up some catfish. I still see that terrible picture in my head to this day. So, I'm not big on fish. I'll eat tilapia and that's about it. But… I was feeling adventurous one night at dinner and ordered some fish tacos. Guess what?? They were delicious! And, I ate a shrimp! Not a kid popcorn shrimp, but a real shrimp! Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks?!?
4. Don't ever try to hustle my family in anything… especially sports. My sister, her 15 year-old twin boys and I were minding our own business walking over to the volleyball court, when a man approached us to play a friendly game. After laughing because none of us play volleyball, we said, "Sure!" Now, let's just get it out in the open that my sister and I had been enjoying some delicious paradise punch all afternoon, so we were feeling extra sporty, ha! Guess what?!? That man and his US Junior Olympic-wannabe volleyball team went down!! Yep, that's right… we won! See, he didn't factor in the competitiveness of my family. We don't lose well and will do just about anything to win. Oh, it didn't hurt that we picked up a few helpers along the way 😉
I'm still getting sand out of places that should not be there…
5. When an almost-five year-old hands you a shovel and tells you to start diggin', you grab a shovel and start diggin'! Hands down, my favorite part of this trip was how much time I got to spend with Carsyn. Just plain ole' playtime. She absolutely LOVED the beach and everything about it. Sure, we had some rough days, ha, but, overall, just having time to play was just what I needed last week. Plus, I'd forgotten how much fun it is to really build a sand castle!
Welp, there's my vacation in a nutshell. And, besides from the brief stomach bug that welcomed me home Saturday morning, it was a perfect week.
Until next year…

Prognosis and survival for brain and spinal cord cancer
People with brain and spinal cord cancer may have questions about their prognosis and survival. Prognosis and survival depend on many factors. Only a doctor familiar with a person's medical history, type of cancer, stage, characteristics of the cancer, treatments chosen and response to treatment can put all of this information together with survival statistics to arrive at a prognosis.
A prognosis is the doctor's best estimate of how cancer will affect a person, and how it will respond to treatment. A prognostic factor is an aspect of the cancer or a characteristic of the person that the doctor will consider when making a prognosis. A predictive factor influences how a cancer will respond to a certain treatment. Prognostic and predictive factors are often discussed together and they both play a part in deciding on a treatment plan and a prognosis.
The following are prognostic and predictive factors for brain and spinal cord cancer.
Tumour grade
Low-grade tumours have a more favourable prognosis than high-grade tumours.
Tumour type
The type of brain or spinal cord tumour is an important prognostic factor. Some types have more favourable prognoses than others. For example, most gliomas have a more favourable prognosis than primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). Of the glioma subtypes, oligodendrogliomas and ependymomas have a more favourable prognosis than astrocytomas.
People younger than 65 years of age have a more favourable prognosis.
Performance status
People with a high performance status (Karnofsky score of 70 or greater) before treatment have a better prognosis than those with a lower performance status.
Location and size of the tumour
The location and size of the tumour are important prognostic factors because they determine whether the tumour can be completely removed by surgery. Easily accessible and smaller tumours have a more favourable prognosis.
Surgical removal
Tumours that can be completely removed by surgery generally have a more favourable prognosis.
Tumour spread
If a tumour spreads to other areas of the central nervous system (CNS), the prognosis is less favourable.
Neurological function
Neurological function before surgery is a strong prognostic factor for how well the person will function after surgery.
- Severe neurological problems, which show changes to the way the nervous system functions, are less favourable prognostic factors than mildly to moderately severe problems.
- In general, people with severe neurological problems do not tolerate treatment as well.
- Tumours that grow rapidly and cause immediate neurological problems have a less favourable prognosis.
- For people with spinal cord tumours, the severity of weakness is the most important prognostic factor for neurological recovery. Severe weakness and paralysis in the lower part of the body (paraplegia) are less favourable prognostic factors.
Chromosomal abnormalities
About 80% of oligodendrogliomas have a chromosome abnormality. These tumours have a more favourable prognosis than oligodendrogliomas that do not have the change to the chromosome. Tumours with a deletion of the "p" arm of chromosome 1 and the "q" arm of chromosome 19 are more responsive to chemotherapy.
The measure of how well a person is able to perform ordinary tasks and carry out daily activities.
Examples of scales used to evaluate performance status include the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG), World Health Organization (WHO) and the Karnofsky performance status scale.
We realize that our efforts cannot even be compared to what women face when they hear the words ... 'you have cancer.'
Investing to reduce cancer burden
Last year CCS funded $40 million in cancer research, thanks to our donors. Discover how you can help reduce the burden of cancer.

The Victorian government's bushfire response relies on $250 million it does not have and it has yet to formally apply for funds from the federal government.
The state government released the Powerline Bushfire Safety Taskforce final report on December 29. It had held the report since September 30. The report's funding estimates include $250 million from the federal government to pay for safety improvements – almost a third of the cost of the reforms.
But the federal government said it had yet to receive a formal request for funding and a spokesman said it was a "bit rich" for the Victorian government to promise to adopt the recommendations when they relied on federal funding.
The project will require energy distribution businesses to install equipment to cut and restore power in areas of high bushfire risk and to replace old powerlines, and will cost up to $950 million.
The costs will be borne by the state government, energy distribution companies and, Victoria hopes, the federal government.
Federal funding could come from either the Minister for Emergency Management,
A spokesman for Mr McClelland said no formal application for funding had been made.
Mr McClelland said the Natural Disaster Relief and Recovery Assistance arrangements set out the criteria for federal assistance.
"If and when Victoria submits a formal proposal, the Commonwealth will examine it against these national criteria," he said.
A spokesman for Victorian Energy Minister
A spokesman for Mr Albanese said that before the state election in November 2010 the Coalition had promised to "overhaul dangerous and out-of-date electricity assets across Victoria" and at no stage had it said this would be conditional on receiving federal funding.
"Now they are in government, they should get on and honour in full the promise they made," he said.
