Oil fell below $33 a barrel today after Saudi Arabia ruled out production cuts and US crude inventories rose, though a decline in US petroleum stocks limited losses.
Saudi Oil Minister Ali al-Naimi said yesterday production cuts would not happen, though more countries would join a deal to freeze output.
OPEC and non-OPEC producers who support the idea are planning a mid-March meeting, his Venezuelan counterpart said.
"Al-Naimi's remarks punctured an oil price rally that has lacked substance," said David Hufton of broker PVM. "The market correctly interpreted the presentation as bearish."
Brent crude was down 33 cents at $32.94 a barrel at 4.11pm Irish time.
US crude fell 85 to $31.02. Both dropped more than 5% in intra-day trading yesterday following the Saudi comments.
The US government's Energy Information Administration said today that crude stockpiles rose 3.50 million barrels last week.
Inventories on the Gulf Coast rose to the highest since at least 1990, after some refineries cut back production in response to low margins.
But petrol inventories fell for the first time since early November.
"It's a mixed bag for both bulls and bears as crude stocks continue to rise while gasoline and distillate stocks dropped," Chris Jarvis, analyst at Caprock Risk Management said.
"Overall, this week's data point will do very little to offset the Saudi oil minister throwing cold water on production cuts any time soon," he said.
Oil has slid from more than $100 a barrel in mid-2014, pressured by excess supply and a decision by the Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries to abandon its traditional role of cutting production to boost prices.
OPEC and outside producers have stepped up diplomatic activity after prices slumped to their lowest since 2003 last month, with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela and non-OPEC producer Russia saying on 16 February that they would freeze output.
One stumbling block in attempts to forge a wider agreement is Iran, which is increasing output after the lifting of Western sanctions in January and whose oil minister was quoted yesterday as calling the deal "laughable".

Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller
Jessica Alba, Powers Boothe, Josh Brolin, Rosario Dawson, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Eva Green, Dennis Haysbert, Stacy Keach, Jaime King, Ray Liotta, Jeremy Piven, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis
Sin City: A Dame to Kill For
Question: How long have we been waiting for this film? Answer: So long that the once daring visual experimentation directors Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller utilized way back in 2005 looks tired and dated in the light of 2014. Sure, we have little to go on except the tantalizing trailers (and MPAA censured character posters), but nine years is a lifetime in Hollywood. And to make matters worse, one of the highlights of the original neo-noir thriller, Clive Owen, is not back as Dwight McCarthy. Instead, the role will be played by seeming omnipresent Josh Brolin (as a post-facial reconstruction version of the character). Right.
If I Stay
R. J. Cutler
Chloë Grace Moretz, Mireille Enos, Joshua Leonard, Stacy Keach, Lauren Lee Smith
If I Stay
If you aren't already cried out after The Fault in Our Stars, here's another young people dying drama to get those tear ducts good and moist. She, Mia Hall (Chloë Grace Moretz), is a musically gifted cellist who falls into a coma after a horrific car accident. He, Adam (Jamie Blackley), is the guitar playing wildboy whom she loves. During an out of body experience, our heroine must decide if she will return to reality and live a life totally different from her previous existence, or slip off into the afterlife. Intense bawling ensues. Since we like Moretz a lot, will cut this claptrap some slack. For now.
When the Game Stands Tall
Thomas Carter
Jim Caviezel, , Laura Dern, Michael Chiklis, Alexander Ludwig
When the Game Stands Tall
Wait, didn't we just talk about this title a few entries back? A coming of age featuring a dedicated coach trying to teach his troubled players right from wrong? Okay, okay, so it's not really an uplifting tale of perseverance overcoming adversity. Instead, it's the true story of the record-setting 151-game winning streak by De La Salle High School Football Team of Concord, California, an accomplishment which lasted from 1992 to 2003. Wow. Jesus himself, Jim Caviezel stars as Bob Landouceur, who retired after winning his 17th State Championship. Sounds like an intriguing story. Save the Last Dance/Coach Carter director Thomas Carter is behind the lens.
Love is Strange
Ira Sachs
Alfred Molina, John Lithgow, Marisa Tomei, Charlie Tahan
Love Is Strange
John Lithgow and Alfred Molina are a gay couple who've been together for 39 years. When they decide to get married, all heck breaks lose. The latter loses his job as a Catholic school music teacher, and the pair can no longer afford their New York City lifestyle (because, you know, Catholic school music teachers make a mint). This results in a financially mandated separation, and some supposedly humorous hijinx. Reviews out of Sundance were relatively sedate, though most pointed out the flawless performances of the two leads. Of course, the subject matter couldn't be more contemporary, though one imagines less politics and more polite interpersonal foibles in the Ira Sachs-directed effort.
Are You Here?
Matthew Weiner
Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Poehler, Laura Ramsey
Are You Here?
He's written for Becker and The Sopranos and is best known as the guiding light behind the TV phenom Mad Men. Now, Matthew Weiner is trying his hand at feature filmmaking with this tale of a couple of childhood friends who take a road trip back to their hometown when one learns they've inherited a bunch of money from his estranged father. Originally, Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Aniston were set to star. Now, we get Owen Wilson, Zach Galifianakis, and Amy Poehler in the leads. Early reviews suggest Weiner delivers on his prickly primetime promise, with some suggesting a breakout career for Don Draper's creator.
The Prince
Brian A. Miller
Jason Patric, Bruce Willis, John Cusack, Jessica Lowndes, 50 Cent, Rain
The Prince
Bruce Willis. John Cusack. Jason Patric. South Korean pop sensation Rain. American rap idol 50 Cent. So why have we not heard about this crime thriller beforehand? Well, Lionsgate appears sheepish about its prospects at the box office, going the simultaneous VOD route during its perfunctory theatrical release. This reeks of a should-have-gone-direct-to-DVD-if-said-format-was-still-a viable-option effort, with the only unusual element being the non-characteristic roles played by the actors involved. We've got a crime boss, a man with a vendetta, and a hitman hired to help defend the don from his everyman menace. Guessing who plays what will be the only intriguing element, here.
The One I Love
Charlie McDowell
Mark Duplass, Elisabeth Moss, Ted Danson
The One I Love
This sounds a lot like Sex Tape, only a lot, lot smarter. Ethan (Mark Duplass) and Sophie (Elisabeth Moss) are a couple whose marriage is falling apart. They seek the help of a therapist (Ted Danson) who suggests they spend time at an unusual retreat. What happens there becomes the basis for their renewed emotional bond, as well as some spoiler-specific weirdness. Without going into detail, the "twist" supposedly turns this from a standard RomCom into a real winner. Screenwriter Justin Lader only had a 50 page script from first time filmmaker Charlie McDowell to work from. The rest is pure Duplass and Moss, and from the reaction at Sundance, it's delightful.
To Be Takei
Jennifer M. Kroot
George Takei
To Be Takei
He's already a cultural icon, thanks in part to his work in the seminal Star Trek TV series. But over the years, George Takei has also become a political powerhouse, using his status as an out and proud gay man to shed light on numerous LBGT issues. This documentary follows his entire life, from his earliest days as a prisoner in America's Japanese Internment camps to his breakout success as Mr. Sulu. Throughout, Takei exhibits his typical exuberant personality as well as his continuing disdain for a certain starship captain. How he's avoided being a documentary subject before now is baffling.
The Possession of Michael King
David Jung
Shane Johnson, Ella Anderson, Cara Pifko, Dale Dickey, Julie McNiven
The Possession of Michael King
If it's August, especially late in the month, it's time for Tinseltown to try out a few of its pre-Halloween horror films on the rapidly depleting college age demo (no, they're not dying, just heading back to classes). In this case, we have yet another found footage fright flick which sees a grieving father on a quest to prove/disprove the existence of God/the Devil and winding up being possessed by a demon in the process. Yeesh. From the looks of this trailer, expect a healthy dose of The Last Exorcism, The Devil Inside, and a bit of Paranormal Activity thrown in for good/groan-inducing measure.

Cutting a shotgun barrel
What's the best way to cut a shotgun barrel down?
I would research that thoroughly before doing anything. There are laws as to how short a shotgun barrel can be.
Here's a previous thread on the same subject. Read it!!
Also just a heads up, not only is that going to give a wider spread, but it's going to give you a louder pop when you pull the trigger.
Do it wrong and your pattern will go to crap.
my question is for what purpose? why would you want to make the barrel shorter? if it has a screw in choke, you will lose that, if not, all the choking is done in the last 2-3 inches of the muzzle, you would lose that. if the shotgun were old enough, it could lose value due to cutting the barrel. and as WOC said there is a legal limit to how short a barrel can be cut down to. go below this, and there could be some very intense agents giving you a visit.
Sawing off a shotgun barrel is easy. Measure twice cut once, with a tight, stiff hacksaw with new blade, make sure to cut straight across, not at a angle. I suggest cut a lil longer than minimal length legal.
Now, make sure you really want to do this, as it will surely ruin the value. If it is a older, classic shotty,, I wouldn't do it.
18 inches is the minimum length round here,, check local laws as mentioned above, mismeasure and you can end up with a felony, and loose all current and future guns.... be careful.
I have a Remington 870 that I sawed off to 18 1/4", and she works fine, kicks alil harder now but that was expected.
One more thing the end where you cut the barrel will be more susceptible to rust/corrosion so be sure to take some fine sandpaper and sand edge every no and then, oil accordingly. ..
Why would one want to cut a barrel on a shotgun?
A lot of guys I know take old interarm shot guns (about $50 at your local pawn shop) and cut them down to 20". They use it as their home defense weapon. You don't have to worry about aiming in the dark with those.
If you have a pipe cutter you can put it on your shotgun barrel at the desired length tighten it slightly on the barrel but do not crank it down, go around the barrel a few times then remove it, you will have a line all the way around the barrel to use to keep you cutting even and straight. Do not try to cut the barrel off with the pipe cutter as the barrel will end up slightly deformed on the end only use this for marking purposes.

Summer Organizers tell us about their July 16 Day of Action
This past weekend was a National Day of Action for the campaign. Across the country, we registered new voters to join in the political process and have their voice heard. Today, two of our Colorado Summer Organizers, Alex and Garrett, are sharing their experience from the Day of Action.
Garrett: This past weekend was our National Day of Action in beautiful Adams County, Colorado. I was out with my awesome volunteers, Nate, Cindy, Ann, Bev and Lynetta at the Anythink Library in Thornton.
Alex: I was joined by Roger, Nathan, Dorothy, Harriet and Russel at a Safeway in Westminster, near the Broomfield border. We all withstood the heat and got plenty of people signed up to vote. How'd the library go, Garrett?
Garrett: The Anythink Library is the Adams County voter registration gold mine, for a large part because of the great work of every volunteer who has been there. The temperature may have flirted with triple digits but that did not slow anyone down.
Alex: Yeah, thankfully we had an awning above us which provided some shade and — best practice alert! — I made sure all my volunteers kept nice and hydrated.
Garrett: The continued success of the library location keeps the excitement up each Saturday. Each week we try and beat the last number of voter registration forms collected. Everyone knows what numbers we're shooting for and owns the challenge of improving week to week. After this Day of Action we'll definitely have the enthusiasm to blow away our goals next week.
Alex: Absolutely — if anything, that gives you more motivation to do well next week. Every voter we register is a huge accomplishment for the organization — everybody counts.
Garrett: Definitely! I'm glad to have recruited and engaged so many volunteers out to help us engage people in our country's political process.
Alex: It's one of the best parts of the Summer Organizer position.Good luck next weekend!
Garrett: You too, my man.

LAYTON Anyone who refers to the past as a simpler time is speaking nonsense.
"There was no simpler time," historian David McCullough, a two-time Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award winner, said Tuesday.
Imagine if you were Abigail Adams getting up at 5 a.m., waking up the hired girl, raising the children and educating them at home because the schools were closed in the midst of war in 1776.
Then there was disease and coping with it. Teeth were pulled and mastectomies performed without anesthesia.
"Life beat them up more," McCullough told a sold-out crowd at Layton High School on Tuesday night. "We have no idea how difficult life was."
McCullough was in town at the invitation of Davis Reads, a community-based program which encourages literacy in Davis County, sponsored by the Davis School District and Davis Education Foundation. Davis Reads has encouraged county residents to read McCullough's latest book, "1776."
People ought to drop the phrase "self-made man" from their vocabulary, McCullough said, because people are shaped by everything and everyone around them a parent or teacher or someone who gives a second chance.
"We're also shaped by people we never knew or never met because they went before us," he said.
Some of those people are those often considered to be the founding fathers, but not the old men pictured on paper money.
George Washington was 43 when he assumed command of the Continental Army. John Adams was 40 when he signed the Declaration of Independence and Thomas Jefferson was 33 when he wrote it.
"None of them had fomented a revolution before started a new country before," McCullough said.
History is essential to leadership, he said.
"We have to educate people to be leaders or we won't have the qualities of leadership we need when we need leaders," he said.
Washington had never commanded troops in battle and yet he became commander in chief of the Continental Army.
"What he was, was a leader and a leader at exactly the right time," McCullough said.
But leadership begins with education, which begins at home, he added.
"We're not doing a very good job of teaching history to our children and grandchildren," he said. "We've got to do something about it."
Parents should take their children to historic sites."Let them see how much you like it," he said. "Show them what you love."

3 Days ago i saw a nice sketch on my instagram feed from a graphic designer who likes to draw and sketch . i thought it would be fun to bring the sketch to life by making a 3d visualization out of it . although i did the modeling of the room and the closet with the books from Models Pack 3 , the rest ( the bed , the desk chair and the macbook ) where models i got from here and there .
Description : For the rendering i used as always VRayforC4D , as for the lightning i used the physical sky tool from the VRay Studio Tools to cast some sky-lighting from the window , and because it was not enough , had to place an area light out side of the window to cast some additional light into the room . finally the ies where placed on the ceiling to lighten up the room more
at the end i added the materials and used VRay fur for the rug under the bed , and did the post production in Photoshop and added some lens flares to the first image using filters .
let me know what you think about the render , all comments and critics are welcome .

The U.S. Department of Labor announced that Bellevue College has received an $11.8 million grant under the Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training (TAACCCT) program to provide training in Health Information Technology for veterans and dislocated workers. It is the largest single grant the college has received in its nearly 50-year history.
The money – $11,775,297 to be exact – will fund the Health e-Workforce Consortium, led by Bellevue College, that will develop and pilot a health IT apprenticeship program and career services initiative.
Through a combination of on-campus and online classes at BC and seven other community colleges in Washington state and one in northern Virginia, the program will help over 2,000 participants (with 1,700 in this state) work toward certificates and degrees in health IT, gaining valuable education and training. In addition to Trade Adjustment Act-eligible workers, a special focus will be on assisting military veterans and eligible spouses. The materials created by the consortium will be available for other colleges nationwide to use to train even more people.
The goal is to create pathways to careers in the fast-growing field of health IT. With the computerization of health records, providers increasingly rely on information systems to manage patient information and other health data. As a result, demand for individuals who can implement and maintain these data systems, which require a unique set of skills specific to healthcare, is growing significantly. According to estimates by the American Medical Informatics Association, it will take as many as 200,000 workers to satisfy the projected job market demand, with thousands of positions in Washington state.
"This grant will do so much to help our returning veterans and others in our state learn the skills they need to get these good-paying jobs so they can support themselves and their families," said Interim President Laura Saunders. "It's also a win for health care providers and other companies who need qualified workers in this field."
Bellevue College has been a national leader in developing education and training programs in health IT. In 2010, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the National Science Foundation awarded the college grants of $6.4 million and $500,000 respectively to conduct training and create a national certification standard and training curriculum. This work led to the creation of a health IT bachelor's degree program, BC's third, that just launched with the start of fall quarter this past week.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'In the Know ( ITK )' started by Reserrved, Jun 10, 2011.
i mean i would be devastated and sad to see him go.......:001_005:
I don't think you should be so happy, there would go about half your posts...
i know i know hes a god i get it
I got excited about his ITK directly above that one. Then I read the VDV ITK and I'm pretty sure he's talking nonsense.
In statements 'Arry has given about our striker situation, when he talks about transfers someone who can play with VDV seems to be a priority. That would suggest to me he's not going anywhere.
He isn't a god, well certainly not for me as I don't believe in them, but if vdv is 'shit' then there are probably not many good players, let alone excellent ones walking around on this earth. There was one poster on this forum who used to post almost the same post every time both on here and on any Guardian story that involved Spurs. While no player is beyond criticism, you don't get to captain one of the world's best international football sides by being 'shit'.
i never said hes shit but the way we use him seems to hurt the team at times. and i dont think the dutch team uses him as a second striker like we do
Brownhead's records isnt the best, so its probably bollocks
I understand why some don't like vdv buy honestly. If rather keep him and bring in someone that can play with him than go back to a 4-4-2 with the crap we have at forward. Is it vdvs fault pav can't hold a ball up if his life depended on it. Its probably vdvs fault defoe missed all his one on ones and tap ins too. Be realistic. Vdv is class and I for one do not want to see him leave.
Well, way I figure the journos have been trying to make up bs reports about Luka, Bale, and Sandro leaving all summer. And maybe they have finally taken the hint (for a couple days at least) and realized they aren't leaving. Well, what do they do then? Make up bs reports about VDV leaving, of course.
This isnt journos........this is ITK......and Brownhead hasnt gotten much right over the year that I've followed his news.
**** sake, why are all of our best players being linked with a move away. This is one of the worst repercussions of not qualifying for CL. We are not allowed have top class players outside the top 4. I wish they would all just **** off.
Storts who is in my top 6 for ITKs said were not considering selling Rafa, so that puts to bed any doubts in my mind (not that there were any to begin with).
lets sell our top scorer who isnt even a fooking striker!!!!! well in hawkins
Guy that started this thread, I believe is on my ignored list. Buff said.
Top scorer ffs.
Doh. My mistake. Sorry 'bout that. Then again, maybe if I just wait and repost the same comment in a couple weeks it'll actually be true.
ha ha Joe Cole part II.........
thats normal mate.
Even clubs like chelsea , arsenal and man city have players that are linked with other clubs even if they play in the CL.
drogba to madrid etc nasr,fabregas to man u or barcelona, tevez to inter milan , boateng to bayern munich etc.
Thats how it goes with or without CL. Sure it would be easier to keep them if we are in CL but if we are in CL and they play great in it then it will be really really hard to keep them as well.

Welcome to interactivity at the Digital Dome at the Institute of American Indian Arts.
The IAIA technology hub is hosting the northern branch of the Albuquerque-based 18th International Symposium On Electronic Art, through dome exhibitions and an outdoor sound walk at the south Santa Fe campus.
In the U.S. for the first time in six years, the conference is showcasing artwork, science and technology in a multisite exhibition with more than 500 international artists from 29 countries. Paris, Sydney, Helsinki, Singapore, Montreal and Istanbul have served as previous hosts of the 30-year event.
The Santa Fe events begin at 2 p.m. today when artists Jason Baerg and Charles Lindsay talk about their electronic exhibitions at the dome.
At 5 p.m., there's an opening reception for the Buffalo, N.Y. -based Teri Rueb and ceramist Larry Phan's soundscape "No Places With Names: A Critical Acoustic Archaeology."
IAIA will end its branch of the symposium with more artist talks from 9 a.m. until noon on Tuesday, although exhibits run through Oct. 26.
It's all about art-meets-science and technology within a spherical shape that creates its own world.
"This interactivity in a dome is absolutely new in the world," dome director Ethan Bach said.
"It opens up a lot for artists to be able to explore that. It includes the audience," he continued. "The difference (between the curved shape and a flat screen) is the inclusiveness of it."
Cree/Métis artist Baerg of Toronto has been working with randomization software for several years. Born and raised in Sasksatchewan, Baerg turns specific Native numbers into stories, color and repetition in a 360-degree display of abstracted symbols, including the sun and moon. He never knows which symbol or shape will appear in a running ticker-tape around the Dome's concave screen. He calls his piece "There Was No End."
"I'm questioning the notion of linear time, which is supported by quantum physics," Baerg said. "Indigenous people have been questioning it for a long time."
"It's an early form of abstract intelligence," he added.
Visitors' physical bodies trigger responses from the piece.
"I'm an abstractionist," said the artist, who has been a painter for 20 years.
Flashing lights draw the curious into the black room, where the background colors inside the dome change according to the number of bodies beneath it. Much of the symbolism and 360 random shapes are mirrored in the indigenous calendar. The shapes create a circle.
The Plains Cree teepee features 16 poles, Baerg said, another number reflected in the program.
"Each represents a core value, such as honesty, truthfulness and respect," he said. "The work also incorporates the four directions and the 13 moons in the indigenous calendar.
"It was used as a governance model to teach children," he continued. "I was reading and contemplating the Ojibway relationship to the 13 moons. The strawberry moon is in June. It's a time when we get together and forgive. That's a redemption for all."
The Santa Fe event is the first time the artist has seen his work presented in an organic shape.
"This is my first experience and a career highlight," he said. "It's a real honor to be here."
Sound and GPS
Rueb's landscape piece uses surround sound and GPS to lure visitors on a walk around the IAIA campus. A custom mobile phone application weaves spoken words with sound waves around the campus "fire circle" ringed by buildings and the tendrils of trails. The app responds to the user's movement and location.
An artist in residence at the Santa Fe Art Institute, Rueb interviewed between 25 and 30 Santa Feans to produce "No Places With Names." The sample included artists, farmers, geologists and students to glean various perspectives on the land.
To take the sound walk, visitors download the free app to hear bellowing winds, trickling water and voices commenting on the meaning of landscape. A woman talks about her father's difficulty in maintaining a stable sleep cycle in the Arctic's constant daylight. Walk near IAIA's administration building, and a professor's voice talks about the campus' introduced, non-native plants. His Native students often ask him what they are for, since their fruit and seeds are nonedible.
"It's there because it's pretty," he tells them. "We talk about their leaf structure; we talk about their flowers."
The sounds emerge as if rising from the earth. The piece's title comes from the first passages of the Navajo creation story: "We hear of no places with names to the north."
Diné consulting anthropologist, archaeologist, weaver and potter Carmelita Topaha also contributed to the project.
"The whole point was to look at wilderness from cross-cultural perspectives," Rueb said.
"I consider my work a landscape practice," she added. "I like to get people out in the landscape."
Also as part of the symposium events, the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, 108 Cathedral Place, will host a reception for ISEA participants from 1-5 p.m. Tuesday. The event incorporates one of its latest exhibitions, "50/50: Fifty Artists, Fifty Years," a sampling of art from IAIA students from the school's permanent collections.

Turner sets TD record as Depew clinches playoff berth
Depew emphatically secured its playoff spot Friday night. The Wildcats dominated every facet of the game en route to a 45-16 win over Eden at the Constantino Athletic Complex.
With the win, Depew, ranked seventh in the small school poll, finished 4-1 in Class B South, moving to 5-1 overall with their season finale a non-league meeting with rival Lancaster next week.
"This was big for us," said junior running back Rodney Turner. "We needed it bad. We had to start out fast and we did that tonight."
It was indeed a fast and efficient start as the Wildcats scored on all six of their possessions in the first half behind their strong running attack.
Turner set a school record with five touchdowns, four of them coming in the first half. He finished with 21 rushes for 198 yards.
"He's just a great kid and he's such a good player," Depew coach Brian Wilson said. "He's really the heart and soul of what we're doing now on offense. He's just a great player."
He may be the heart and soul of the offensive plan at the moment, but Turner is quick to give credit to his teammates.
"Our fullback Nick Perrine and the offensive line was the key to the running game," Turner said. "Without them, I couldn't do what I did tonight. All of my credit goes out to them."
Junior quarterback Dylan Sekuterski (118 yards passing) connected with his older brother Derrick (80 receiving yards) for a 22-yard play for the Wildcats' other score in the half while Tyler Anna (interception) hit a 29-yard field goal in the final seconds for a 38-0 halftime lead.
The offense was set up by a dominant defense which held Eden without a first down for the first quarter. The Raiders didn't get a fresh set of downs until just under seven minutes left in the first half when senior quarterback Nick Sarratori hit senior Alex Smythe for a 19-yard pick up. But that drive was cut short when Mike Thornton pulled in an interception with 4:29 left in the half.
"Eden has a different offense than what we normally have to face and I thought our defense executed exactly what we wanted to do," Depew coach Brian Wilson said. "Their offense changes pretty much every technique we do defensively and the kids did a really good job with that, bottled them up pretty good."
In the first quarter, Depew's worst field possession came on its first drive – a start from its own 49. With the help of a personal foul call, the Wildcats scored three plays later on a 15-yard run from Turner.
Their second possession began at the Eden 40 and the first play was a 19-yard pick up on a pass from Sekuterski to Turner. Two plays later, Turner ran into the end zone from 19 yards out.
It took three plays for Turner to get his next touchdown, a 14-yard run after the Wildcats took over on the Eden 44.
On their last possession of the opening quarter, Depew began on the Eden 37 and needed just two plays to score – this time on a 22-yard pass play between Dylan and Derrick Sekuterski.
Depew needed to move the ball more in the second quarter with drive starts at their own 20 and 32. But only once did the Wildcats need to convert a third down, on their final possession of the half.
The Wildcats took the opening kickoff of the second half and constructed a 16-play, 70-yard drive which lasted 7:26, capped by an 11-yard touchdown run by Turner.
Eden got on the board when Smythe caught the ensuing kickoff around the 10-yard line and broke free for a score. Sarratori connected with Jesse Vondell in the back of the end zone for the two-point conversion, making it a 45-8 game.
Depew punted for the first time in the game with 36 seconds left in the third quarter as the Wildcats put in different players in different positions.
Eden added another score with 3:29 left when Cole Simmons ran the ball in from the 1-yard line.

THE grassy expanse of Bearsden's Garscube Estate provided an impromptu dancefloor when Glasgow Scouts gathered for a district camp in 1949.
The estate, which had only just been handed back to its owners, the Campbell family, by the Ministry of Works, after being requisitioned during the war, was the perfect place for the city kids to let off some steam.
Away from their mums and dads, they could climb trees, whittle sticks, light fires and get as grubby as they pleased, without any parental intervention. They could also practise their dance moves.
Come the Sunday of the weekend camp, proud parents gathered in their hundreds to watch their boys put on a display.
And you can bet, as soon as the boys were home, mum would have forced them into a bath before filling the hungry kids up with some home cooking.

Harry Butler always displayed humility as a public servant
It was about 9:30 on Sunday night. We were sitting in the front room of the family place in Crested Butte when I heard Bonnie look up from a school district email and gasp.
"Oh no," she said, "Harry Butler died."
I was preparing a different sort of column for this week. Those plans immediately changed.
You've grown accustomed to my use of quotes to emphasize points I try to make in my writing. In this case, nothing but one from Harry's favorite book would do, given his frequent scriptural references in public and private conversations.
This verse, from Philippians, seemed to fit.
"Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others."
I'm not a biblical scholar, far from it. When looking for something from the Bible that would reflect Harry's life, I'll confess to having used Google, not memory. And that's the verse I chose from among those presented when I asked for "scripture about servants."
Others who served with Harry on the Grand Junction City Council or the District 51 Board of Education won't question my use of the word "servant" in searching for that scriptural reference. They'll know why I chose the word "humility" and the reference to looking out for the interests of others.
All that aptly describes the Harry Butler I met shortly after I arrived at Grand Junction High School as a sophomore back in 1961. Harry was a popular senior, a basketball player and manager of the Tigers' football team.
But it was a different time back then, a different Grand Junction than the one that would later elect a black man to the City Council. In an interview with the late historian Kathy Jordan, Harry would recall his dismay at an "Aunt Jemima" depiction being part of the school's Cotton Ball and being consigned to a basement room at a Colorado Springs hotel with another black football star, Vernon Dickey, while the rest of the team stayed upstairs.
None of that, however, could diminish Harry's affection for his hometown or his pride in his family's pioneer presence here.
Three of his great uncles came to Grand Junction in 1888, two of them purchasing property way out on Orchard Avenue three years later. In 1901, his great-grandfather Elijah Hines, a former slave, joined them.
The family attended Handy Chapel when it was built in 1892. Harry would later marry Danielle there and become a pastor, conducting services in the historic structure. He was living with his grandparents when he graduated from GJHS in 1962, shining shoes with his grandfather and helping his grandparents clean the offices at Home Loan and Investment Company.
Retiring after 29 years with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Harry was elected to the Grand Junction City Council, where we served together from 2001 to 2005. He would have finished two terms on the District 51 Board of Education later this year.
We last talked a few weeks ago at the appreciation party for departing City Council members. As the lone attendee from those newly elected to the council, he was excited to continue his public service in his hometown.
We'll be poorer because of his absence. He would have been, I think, a moderating voice on a council obviously divided and sorely in need of a leavening influence. That's the kind of public servant I always found Harry to be, whether or not we agreed on an issue. And the kind of person I knew him to be since we first walked the halls of GJHS together more than five decades ago.
There's another scriptural reference I found in my search Sunday night that seems a fitting way to end this column, to commemorate the life of Harry Butler. It's from Matthew 25:21.
"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.'"

I am finding that there is a very fine balance for me, coming back to blogging (for reasons I discussed in the previous post). I have to put limits on how much I read other people's blogs, sometimes. I have to monitor my emotional responses so I can back off before things become too much. I might be able to handle things just fine, for a while, but then it gets to be too much. Or I might be in a good place to handle things one day, but the smallest things get to me, the next.
Returning to the Blogosphere
So, apparently I'm blogging again. No one is more surprised by this than me. The reason I stopped in the first place was to protect myself.
Last spring, people suddenly collectively realized, as if we had just magically appeared, that trans people exist and also use public restrooms. It's not as if I hadn't dealt with transphobia before, but I had never felt the weight of it like this before. I used to have this optimistic belief, at least on some level, that people were basically reasonable, that they could be swayed by logical, well-substantiated arguments and evidence. Like I was swayed when I started questioning the things I had been taught while growing up.Read More »
Religion and Fairy Tales
Yesterday I wrote about what I thought should be added to a list of things that atheists should stop saying (written by Christian blogger Benjamin Corey). Today I'll talk about what was on that list that I think shouldn't be, namely, the request that atheists stop calling religious people's beliefs fairy tales. This is the one thing on the original list that got the most push-back from atheists, which prompted a response from the author.Read More »
Shit I Wish Atheists Would Stop Saying
So, today I ran across a response to a blog post on Patheos that a Christian wrote about shit he wishes atheists would stop saying. I'd read that post before a while ago and, on the whole, I think the guy had some good points. When I think about the sort of obnoxious statements that he is likely responding to, I'm inclined to nod and say "Yea, totally, people should stop saying shit like that." But I do think his list of things atheists should stop saying also includes some things that don't fall under the "obnoxious crap" category (which other people have already done a good job covering, like the guy I linked above). However, he also misses a few things that should be on the list but aren't. So I thought I'd write my own post about shit that I, as an atheist, wish other atheists would stop saying.
Progress On My Needle Phobia
I've been seeing some improvement in my needle phobia since I started on T a few months ago (via intramuscular injection every other week). I'm still not able to give myself the injections, but I'm slowly working up to it.Read More »
Book Challenge
A while back, I wrote a post about a challenge given to me by a Christian proselytizer on my campus. If I read a book of their choice, they would read one of mine. Unfortunately, they never replied back to me after I emailed them, so it never happened. I don't know what happened there. Maybe they changed their mind. Maybe the email got lost. No way to tell. But I was pretty disappointed about it, after having put a significant amount of effort into selecting a book.Read More »

Day 4
Fuller blazes through 40-yard dash
Notre Dame's Will Fuller led all wide receivers in the 40-yard dash on Saturday, registering an impressive official time of 4.32 seconds.
Look at him go!
However, it appears that if you're looking for game-breaking speed in this draft, this class of wideouts might not be for you.
High-end athleticism is lacking among the quarterbacks, too. While former Louisiana Tech passer Jeff Driskel likely won't hear his name called until the middle of the draft, he came out on top during the 40-yard dash on Saturday.
Jones pulls up with injury during 40 run
One of this year's most intriguing quarterback prospects didn't have the opportunity to throw for scouts during Saturday's on-field drills.
Former Ohio State signal-caller Cardale Jones told Kimberly Jones of NFL Network that he was done for the day after pulling up with an apparent injury at the end of his second 40-yard dash.
Jones, who was demoted from his starting role in the middle of his junior season, will now be counting on a strong pro day performance to showcase his ability to NFL scouts.
Hackenberg struggles in passing drills
Inaccuracy was a problem for Penn State's Christian Hackenberg in college, and it reared its head again Saturday during passing drills.
Hackenberg was erratic, missing multiple passes that probably should've been easy completions, prompting some analysts to question whether inaccuracy will continue to be an issue for him in the NFL.
Treadwell, Coleman skip 40
Two of the top receiving prospects in the draft decided to skip the chance to show off their speed in the 40-yard dash.
Ole Miss' Laquon Treadwell, the top receiver on many analysts' boards, has suggested he wants to be timed only at his pro day, and Baylor's Corey Coleman is recovering from sports hernia surgery and isn't ready to turn in his fastest time.

Anne Hathaway might have rose to fame playing a princess, but the actress told Access Hollywood that the role she always dreamed of was Catwoman.
"Oh I love it! I love it," the actress told Access when asked about her Catwoman suit for "The Dark Knight Rises" during an interview for her current movie, "One Day."
"A lot of questions that I used to get asked were, 'So, every girl when she grows up wants to be a princess, did you want to be a princess when you grew you?'" Anne told Access. "And I so wish I'd said what I felt back then, because the truth was, 'No, I wanted to be Catwoman!' And now I am… That dream came true, for sure."
Stepping into a role previously played by Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Berry, Julie Newmar, Lee Meriwether, and Eartha Kitt is not something Anne takes lightly.
"So many great women have worn [the costume] before me," the actress explained. "It's an honor to don the suit."
The third installment in the latest Batman trilogy hits theaters on July 20, 2012, but first fans will see Anne and Jim Sturgess in "One Day," which opens on August 19.

(CBS) Wouldn't it be great if there were a simple questionnaire that could predict who is and who isn't going to attempt suicide? Turns out there is, and new research shows it to be extremely accurate.
PICTURES - Who's at risk for suicide? 5 life-saving questions to ask
Researchers evaluated the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) - already in use by institutions ranging from the World Health Organization to local fire departments - in three separate studies. One involved adults given emergency care for psychiatric problems. Two others involved adolescents who had been diagnosed with major depression or who had attempted suicide.
The study's lead author said the studies showed that the C-SSRS was "extremely accurate" at predicting suicide attempts.
"This is a very feasible, easy approach that will help us identify people we need to get to," Dr. Kelly Posner, director of Columbia University's Center for Suicide Risk Assessment in New York City, told CBS News. "It identifies people we would have missed otherwise, and avoids the 'false positives'" in which people who aren't truly suicidal wind up getting costly and burdensome evaluations.
The scale, which is available in 103 languages, can be administered in minutes by anyone trained in its use - not just health-care professionals, according to a written statement about the study issued by the university. The study was published online Nov. 8 and will appear in the Dec. issue of the American Journal of Psychiatry.
Dr. Posner said there hadn't been any comprehensive way to assess risk of suicide before the scale came into use. Given its simplicity and proven accuracy, she called on doctors to use the scale on a routine basis with their patients.
"Fifty percent of suicides see their primary-care doctor the month before they die," she said. "We should be asking these questions the way we monitor for blood pressure."
Dr. Jeffrey Lieberman, chairman of the department of psychiatry at Columbia and director of the New York State Psychiatric Institute, seemed to concur on the benefits of widespread screening using the scale. "The public health benefits in terms of lives saved could be enormous," he said in the statement.
Suicide is certainly a big problem. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, it was the tenth leading cause of death in the U.S. in 2007, accounting for 34,598 deaths. For every suicide, there are an estimated 11 suicide attempts

House Passes Patent Litigation Bill
On December 5, the U.S. House of Representatives passed [3] the Innovation Act (H.R. 3309 [4]) by an overwhelming vote of 325-91. Last week six higher education groups co-signed a statement [5] articulating their opposition to portions of the House bill, expressing concern that changes to the litigant fee system could have a negative impact on researchers' collaborative efforts. The Senate Judiciary Committee is tentatively scheduled to hold a hearing on its own patent litigation bill [Patent Transparency and Improvements Act (S. 1720 [6])] on December 17.

Systems Biology Aims to Remove Animals from Contact Allergy Testing
Bio-Modeling Systems and Persistent Systems entered a collaboration that marries non-mathematical heuristic modeling with mathematical modeling in an effort designed to increase the success rates of drug discovery and formulation development by the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. A key deliverable of this joint initiative is the development of a predictive in silico or computer-simulated skin model that will help eliminate the need to use animals in contact allergy testing. The deal follows on the heels of the European Union's ban on the import and sale of cosmetics containing ingredients tested on animals.
Bio-Modeling Systems will combine the outputs of its CADI™ modeling platform with a new software platform, Cell-in-Silico, developed by Persistent, resulting in heuristic model of skin cell interplay mechanisms to be enhanced through mathematical modeling. This strategic collaboration harnesses the scientific and bioinformatics capabilities of Bio-Modeling Systems and the information technology and scientific capabilities of Persistent Systems to provide the first truly holistic systems-based drug discovery solutions, according to Anand Deshpande, Ph.D., managing director and CEO, Persistent Systems.
"Bio-Modeling Systems and Persistent Systems have come together to develop a much-needed solution that will address the pharma and cosmetic industries' need for predictive modeling of skin in silico," said he explained. "Bio-Modeling Systems scientists have pioneered heuristic biological modeling with their CADI platform. By coupling this with Persistent Systems' strength in mathematical modeling and IT, we will develop a viable in silico alternative to animal testing."
"For the first time ever, mechanistic modeling and dynamics engineering will be merged, bringing a whole new level of understanding to the multi-scale biological space, enabling us to develop a fully integrated, outstanding set of solutions to previously intractable biotechnological problems," said François Iris, CSO, Bio-Modeling Systems. We look forward to addressing the industry's challenges head-on with this powerful offering."

Joe Cavaleri signed his email with the moniker thousands of Arizona Wildcats fans have known him by since he first became the school's unofficial superfan in 1979: "Ooh Aah."
It's easier for him to email sometimes, his speech slurred by the same Parkinson's disease that shortens his stride and occasionally freezes his eyes shut.
"As much as I am upset in my mind that I have to step down, my body is telling me to stop," he wrote. "I just don't want to listen to it.
"But it is time to step down. Believe me, it is the right thing to do."
At Senior Day at McKale Center, the "Ooh Aah Man" will say au revoir, a decision made by him and the UA. After today, he'll no longer walk onto the McKale Center floor to lead the crowd in timeouts in his trademark A-R-I-Z-O-N-A cheers.
He'll be around, though.
In retirement, Cavaleri, 61, will keep his basketball tickets behind the south basket, and will travel to the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas next week as the Wildcats' guest.
It will be strange to no longer lead cheers, stripping off layers of Wildcat-colored clothes at midcourt as the crowd roars, he said.
That had grown more difficult for Cavaleri in recent years. Earlier this season, he struggled to reach the court on time, and had to wait until the next timeout to perform.
The Wildcats have surprises in store for him today. He knows he'll be emotional.
"I'll try not to be," he said in a separate phone conversation. "I'll get through it, though."
He never thought, when he first started cheering the UA baseball team in 1979, six years after moving from Poughkeepsie, N.Y., that being the "Ooh Aah Man" would define the better part of his life.
Ask Cavaleri for his favorite UA moments, and he recalls him and his daughter meeting Derrick Williams after a game, around their birthdays.
He lists Steve Kerr, Jason Terry and a half-dozen of his favorite UA players.
"A lot of the older guys," he said.
He remembers traveling to Seattle in 1988, watching the Wildcats march to their first Final Four.
Cavaleri has been part of the team's official traveling party on all four of their visits to the NCAA tournament's semifinals.
"I remember seeing him when I'd come down to Tucson in the 1980s," UA athletic director Greg Byrne said. "When I came here (to work), I had recollections and memories of the importance of the 'Ooh Aah Man.'
"He's been a person to rally around."

: New to wavy hair
I'm 31 and just discovered that I have wavy hair. I went to get a haircut one day and my stylist suggested she use a diffuser to dry my hair, because she detected some curl to it, and voilà! I have wavy hair. I always used to blow dry it straight, and if ever I let it dry naturally it always looked awful and frizzy, so I never thought I had curl to it.
I figure I'm probably a type 2a, since my hair is wavy and fine, but thick. My stylist used Redken Ringlets on me and it did a wonderful job in the salon, but I can't get it quite as nice at home. What am I doing wrong? How do I use a diffuser correctly, and which products are best at bringing out my curls if I have type 2a hair? Someone suggested I try either Curls
Rock curl amplifier or
AG recoil
curl activator, but I'm not sure if either of these are good? I'm so excited to have discovered my new hair (I feel like a new person!) but I have so many questions - please help me bring out my curls! : )

A barn fire in Auburn Township Sunday night caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
At 8:14 p.m., the Auburn Township Fire Department responded to a structure fire near 16429 Munn Road, said Fire Chief John Phillips.
When crews arrived on scene, the entire roof of the 100-foot by 75-foot structure was already ablaze, Phillips said.
Some 200 cows are milked in the building, and all of the animals were safely removed from the building and no people were injured, he said.
The fire caused an estimated $200,000 to $300,000 in damage, but Phillips said firefighters were able to save the structure. The fire was brought under control at 9:05 p.m. and crews left the scene at 1:20 a.m. Monday morning.
While the cause of the fire is still under investigation, Phillips said an appliance is probably to blame. No foul play is suspected.
About 12 other departments provided mutual aid at the scene.

My independence - have you seen it?
Last week I performed a great feat. It was up there with my proudest moments: getting my first job at TVNZ, the first time I interviewed the prime minister, my first solo overseas trip. And now I'm adding to that list: the first time I walked from my house to the village centre in Babati. All. By. Myself.
To you it may not seem a lot. But let me explain.
Moving to Tanzania has been a huge adjustment. Not just in leaving behind friends and family, a steady income, or the luxuries of hot showers, flat whites and chocolate biscuits. One of the hardest things has been leaving behind some of my highly valued, hard-fought-for independence.
I'm not ashamed to admit I grew up surrounded by the Girl Power phenomenon. Being 25, one of my most vivid memories growing up is learning all the words to Spice Up Your Life so I could put on a spectacular lounge performance. As shallow as the beginnings may have been, it started an internal dialogue: that I would work hard, pave my own way, and become fabulously independent.
There were milestones along the way, as there are for everyone. I finished school, went to university, shunned parties in favour of essays (mostly), gave up semester breaks to slog my way through "work experience" (read: fetched coffees, held microphones and listened to cameramen's war stories). Eventually, though, I think I cracked it in some way. And then, I moved to Africa. And the game changed.
In Tanzania, or at least the small town of Babati where I live, being a white woman brings with it some challenges. It's not safe for me to go anywhere alone at night. I'm not supposed to look men directly in the eye if I don't know them. I'm not allowed to wear shorts, and shouldn't really leave my shoulders uncovered either. I should never address a man by his first name.
I'm not complaining, because this is what being different in a new culture is all about. And I'm not saying traditions here are any less important than the ones we have at home. But sometimes, it can be tough. Like when I go anywhere in public by myself ... and I get heckled, propositioned or accosted for money.
So adjusting has meant losing a little of the independence I fought pretty hard for. It's a lot easier and safer going places when MH is with me. I avoid a lot of drama when MH does most of the talking when we first meet new, local people.
But as I ease into life here, and get more confident going about my daily business, it means new milestones. The goalposts may have moved a little, but they're no less meaningful. I'm finding freelance work, making new contacts and new friends. But I'm equally proud of the smaller stuff, like the first time I drove in Babati by myself (obviously not when this photo was taken).
Driving here is part awesome, part terrifying. You get to drive as you've always wanted to (overtake anywhere, anytime.. and there's pretty much no speed limit), but everyone else is driving the same way...
Milestones, I've concluded, are relative.
I'd love to hear your stories. What have you been proud of lately?

AN ambitious plan to create a major cycling route has been launched and leading organisations and personalities are being urged to support the venture.
The Ryedale Trail is the idea of national cycling charity Sustrans, Helmsley Arts Centre, parish councillors and residents, said the campaign group's leader, Helen Gundry, outlining her plan to Pickering Town Council.
The aim, she said, is to link the communities in Ryedale with a route which will be safe for young and old, walkers, cyclists, buggies, dogs, horseriders and nature lovers.
"Sustrans can help with the bigger picture, backing our ideas with national research and case studies on how such major route would boost economic growth, improve health and help the environment. Including everyone in this attracts support from all quarters and attracts political powers to get major Government and EU funding," said Ms Gundry.
The venture comes only seven months before the Tour de France's Grand Depart in Yorkshire, which will see thousands of cycling enthusiasts as well as the racers themselves, heading for the county.
Ms Gundry said the details of the route needed to be studied at local level. "There may be different options to begin with, which will have pros and cons. Help from every parish and town council is needed so we can draw a basic map of how the Ryedale Trail could pass through a parish for the benefit of residents and visitors."
Town and parish councils are being urged to get involved on planning the route, together with landowners, to build a picture of the local scenery, and where facilities such as shops and cafés are located.
"We are hoping that more people will see the benefits and opportunities and become supporters," she said.
Organisations urged to get involved include English Heritage, National Trust, Cycle Touring Club, equestrian societies, chambers of trade, youth groups, Local Enterprise Partnership for Ryedale, North Yorkshire County Council, North York Moors National Park Authority, Ryedale District Council, The Ramblers and the NHS, as well as Robert Goodwill, MP for Scarborough and Whitby, and the newly-appointed Under Secretary of State for Transport, who has special responsibility for cycling.
"The big picture may turn out to be a walk/cycle/horse riding route parallel to the A170," said Ms Gundry.
A steering group is being set up, she said, and Pickering Town Council has given its support to the venture. Sustrans will detail how the Ryedale Trail could connect to the National Cycle Network, after which the steering group will hold its first meeting.
An action plan is being drawn up, which will include public exhibitions about the potential trail, putting forward a vision document and ultimately outlining a preferred route.

text: Well this is a weird one. When waking my phone up today to check the time, I noticed it said 2:51. I thought wow that seems early. Checked my computer, it was indeed 3:38. WTF? So I turn the screen off, and back on, and now the big clock on the screen (before you unlock it) says 3:08, but the little one in the notification bar says 2:51. Turn it off and back on again, and now it is 3:38 and 2:51. I unlock it and the notification bar still said 2:51. I play with the phone for awhile and it finally catches up and displays the right time, maybe 3:42 by now. Anyone ever heard of this? It's not like it's in the wrong time zone or something because it was off under an hour, and the fact that the two clocks didn't match was odd. Any imput is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Caught on camera: Man steals hanging plant
A Central Falls man is accused of stealing a hanging plant from a hardware store in Glocester, and police said it was caught on camera.
Glocester police arrested 41-year-old Robert Tavares. They said he pleaded no contest Thursday to taking $40 worth of merchandise from the store in Chepachet.
Police said Tavares told them he needed a gift for his mother.
Surveillance video recorded Monday shows a car pulling up and a man jumping out and opening the back door. He walks toward the store and grabs a couple bags of fertilizer.
The video shows the man walking toward the camera and snatching a hanging spider plant, then running back to the car and leaving.
One of the workers noticed the plant was missing Tuesday morning and checked the video camera.
In addition to calling police, the owner decided to post the video on the store's website in hopes of catching the suspect.
It worked.
Police picked up Tavares at about 5:30 a.m. on Putnam Pike after recognizing his car from the footage.
The merchandise has been returned to Chepachet Hardware.
