"There are ghosts in the machine"
Film Synopsis:
In the year 2035, technology and robots are a trusted part of everyday life. But that trust is broken when a scientist is found dead and a skeptical detective (Smith) believes that a robot is responsible. Bridget Moynahan co-stars in this high-tech action thriller that questions whether technology will ultimately lead to mankind's salvation . . . or annihilation.
My Take:
I, Robot was the first catalog title that I recall reviewing on Blu-ray that really blew my socks off in terms of audio/video quality. I owned the DVD and was pretty excited when it was announced for Blu-ray. The film is far from cinematic royalty but its terrific popcorn entertainment that is underscored by great production value and a solidified star in Will Smith. I reviewed I, Robot before coming to write here at AVS. I looked at my comments and decided to include them in the review. Here is what I said:
I like Will Smith, period. He has charismatic and genuine onscreen presence that I find appealing. This seems to transcend the various roles he plays. The first time I saw I, Robot was on DVD and while I had heard mixed reviews on the film, I liked it. Along with Smith the casting is solid, with Bruce Greenwood and James Cromwell two of today's finest character actors along for the ride. This is not a perfect screenplay however Smith's turn as the embittered Robot hating Detective was strong enough to keep interest high. Alan Tudyk did an excellent job in lending his voice to "Sonny" which is an integral element in the telling of this story. Pacing was great as the film never seems to drag. For me this is one of those movies that I like to return to from time to time because I never tire of it.
It has been a few years since I have watched the film from beginning to end but my opinion remains the same. I, Robot is lots of fun and makes for a great bit of escapism that is pitch perfect for sci-fi action junkies in need of a fix.

I, Robot 3D comes to Blu-ray Disc from 20th Century Fox featuring 1080p MVC encoded video and lossless DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio sound that has an average bitrate of 3.5 Mbps.
This film wasn't shot natively in 3D but was converted in post- production. It should be noted that the aspect ratio here is 1.78:1 versus the films OAR of 2.35:1. Going into this review I wondered how the film's effects and CG based elements would look in 3D. I was very pleased to see that the reproduction of the digital effects etc. translates as well here as it does in the 2D presentation. Depth is appreciable as evidenced by the near field detection of objects and/or people layered in the foreground/background which creates a perceptible sense of virtual space. High definition dimensionality and apparent resolution is identical to the 2D presentation. Comparing white/black levels, color and skin tone reproduction to the 2D presentation I found them to be identical as well. There isn't an abundance of 3D effects that transcend the boundaries of the screen but several sequences, such as the Demobot attack, the tunnel crash and beginning of the finale (when Spoon and Dr. Calvin arrive on the motorcycle) make use of flashy 3D imagery. The majority of the time the presentation sticks to varying levels of "natural" dimension that really neither adds or detracts from the experience. I didn't notice any distracting instances of crosstalk or other video related anomalies. I enjoyed watching I, Robot in 3D which like the 2D version looks terrific on Blu-ray.
Like the video quality The 5.1 channel DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack doesn't disappoint. This is an entertaining mix that utilizes the entire system to create a theater like experience. Sound staging is excellent as both the front and rear channels are seamlessly integrated. Sound effects traverse the room during the large fight sequences. Dynamics are energy filled and impact felt with discerning articulation and resolute clarity. This is a fairly aggressive mix that makes regular use of the subwoofer to accentuate its already strong dynamics. The quality of the bass is first rate as it is fills the room with clean, hard hitting, and deep resonating low frequency energy. Dialogue has excellent presence with clear, defining vocal character and noteworthy room penetration. This is a reference quality audio presentation that offers demonstration worthy material for those who like to show of their home theater systems.

I, Robot comes to Blu-ray Disc from 20th Century Fox featuring 1080p AVC encoded video that has an average bitrate of 24 Mbps.
I, Robot is among my go to video demonstration discs and has been since I reviewed it back in 2008. It is simply a superb looking Blu-ray that delivers high level detail, razor sharpness and resolute definition that brings out the lifelike textures captured by the camera's lens. Detail perception is nearly flawless with lucid visual acuity and fine rendering throughout. Colors are lavish with eye catching primaries and warm tonality that make them pleasing. Flesh tones are tonally natural with appreciable delineation among the varied complexional types in the cast. Boldly applied contrast and inky blacks provide excellent balance during bright scenes containing mixed content. Shadow detail is discerning which adds depth to the film's variety of sequences shot in low lighting. The CGI and green screen photography softens some shots but its effects are innate and fidelity remains unaffected. There are no compression related video artifacts or distracting noise present in this whistle clean high definition video transfer that remains top tier viewing. It should be noted that the aspect ratio here is 1.78:1 versus the films OAR of 2.35:1. This coincides with the 3D conversion and didn't have any deleterious effects on the quality of the video itself.
Bonus Features:
- 3D/2D high definition versions of I, Robot
- Bonus DVD of I, Robot (Original DVD release with legacy bonus material)
Final Thoughts:
I, Robot is as good now as it was when I first saw it. I have always found its high definition audio/video presentation on Blu-ray to be top notch and those elements carry over to this 3D offering from 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment. The 3D presentation doesn't make demonstrative use of the platform but as a fan of the film I found it to be an enjoyable experience nonetheless. I was disappointed to see that the supplemental package found on the original Blu-ray release wasn't included here. Purists may not like the fact that the film's OAR of 2.35:1 has been matted to 1.78:1 but I didn't find it to be problematic. If you like I, Robot and don't already own it on Blu-ray (and bonus features aren't that important to you), and are 3D ready this release is worth considering. Conversely this package probably doesn't warrant an upgrade for casual 3D viewers that already own the original Blu-ray. However if you're a true fan of the film and really enjoy 3D at home I recommend picking this up as a supplement to the original Blu-ray release. I of course will be keeping both!

Welcome to the Family
Hello everyone!
Preview sessions one and two went great last week! This was my first time being a preview guide and I had the best time! It was great to meet so many new smiling faces of excited freshmen and their parents! I have to say that my fellow preview guides and coordinators, did a great job of making all of the freshmen feel welcomed into the Mount Union community. With the help of Kate Carnell and Jesse Douglas, preview went smoothly without any problems.
While at preview, we took some short interviews of parents and students as they were awaiting the start of their preview experience and also during preview itself. In the video attached to my blog, Mrs. Bondra, wife of alumnus James Bondra, mother of alumnus Christopher Bondra and current senior and preview guide, Carolyn Bondra, states that what she loves the most about Mount Union is the great family atmosphere. This is exactly what we strive to show the incoming students and their families at preview! Mount Union is truly one of the best universities out there and the preview and orientation staff could not be more excited to welcome all of the new freshmen and their families to the Mount Union family!
Go Raiders!

A suspected drunken driver was rushed to an area hospital Thursday night after crashing into two poles.
San Antonio police said the accident happened around 11 p.m. on West Hermosa at San Pedro Avenue.
Police said the man, who is believed to be in his 30s, was speeding south on San Pedro when he lost control and hit a pole.
Accident investigators said the man was going so fast that the car ricocheted off the pole and went backwards to hit a second pole.
When police arrived, the man was passed out in the driver's seat and the windows had to be broken to get him out.
He was taken to University Hospital with multiple injuries and is listed in stable condition.
Police said he will probably be facing drunken driving-related charges.
His name has not been released.

It has been a fairly calm Sunday -- thanks to the Eagles not playing until Monday night. And the fact that, like every year, there was no reason to pay attention to the Phillies on the last day of the regular season. I'm sad, I'm embarrassed and I'm bitter. But I'm also used to it. They got my hopes up like always and I thought they really had a chance, but I think I also knew better. And so another Phillies season ends with disappointment, but not surprise.
Now back to football ....
Can't say I'm really looking forward to the Eagles game. Don't get me wrong, playing on MNF is always worth getting up for and the Eagles looked good last week. Granted, they looked really good the week before, too, but I was actually able to ENJOY their play because they didn't blow it late. But I'm not going to dwell in the past. What's done is done. I'll just say the Giants are beginning to look seriously overrated from all the preseason hype and the Eagles should be 3-0. But I'm not dwelling, really.
But back to the point, I'm not uber excited for the game purely because it is one of those games the Eagles could take for granted. The Packers are not good -- I mean, the Eagles are 10-point favorites or something absurd like that. Yes, we should mop the floor with them. And I think we probably will at least come close to that. But I'm not going to let myself overlook this game, in the hopes that the Eagles will follow my lead and treat this game with as much focus and drive as they will when the play the Cowboys in two weeks. (I'm not ready to go there yet, too much venom and bitterness.)
Just finished watching the Bears maul the Seahawks. Seattle looked BAD, and it wasn't just because Shaun Alexander wasn't there. The Bears on the other hand look like serious contenders for the NFC. And they should make the playoffs easily considering they can more or less sleepwalk to a division title. I mean, the NFC North division consists of the Bears, the Vikings, the Packers and the Lions.
And that, ladies and gents, is just not fair! Come on, let's put at least ONE other competitive team in there. True, it is the NFL and so any team (almost) can beat any other team in the league on any given day, but it would take a serious miscalculation or disaster on the part of the Bears to be taken down by any of those clubs.
The NFC East on the other hand ...
While many are starting to backpeddle on the preseason predictions that had the Eagles finishing dead last in the division, anything could happen in East.
Let's be honest here. As bad as they've looked in the last couple weeks, it's never a good idea to count out the Giants, since -- on paper -- they do have some serious threats when they take the field. So while it is probably safe to say they're not going to run away with the division like most pundits predicted in the preseason, I wouldn't count them out as contenders either. They have significant hurdles to overcome -- the canyon between the team and Tom Coughlin is going to hurt the team more and more as each week goes one, Eli has to learn to turn it on before the fourth quarter, etc. But they can't be taken lightly, that's for sure.
The Redskins? Well, the verdict is still out on the Redskins. Until their win today over the Jags -- SHOCKER!! -- the Redskins were the one team in the division that I would put money on finishing last. That's not to say they couldn't be a spoiler. But I just didn't see it coming together. And then they stunned the Jags. Let's be clear, the Jaguars that showed up in D.C. on Sunday bore no resemblance to the Jags that embarrassed the Steelers (sorry Family Logsdon) and terrified the Colts (even if they didn't beat them). And so I wouldn't rule out some element of the letdown factor for the Jags in the way they played against a Redskins team they might have taken a little bit for granted. But Mark Brunell is still the Redskins' quarterback. Sure, Santana Moss, Antwaan Randle El and Clinton Portis are a powerful crew. But there are still serious question marks and weaknesses across the rest of Washington's lineup. So all I can say about the Redskins at this point is they are a mystery. Which Redskins will we see from week to week?
It pains me to say this -- and I mean, HURTS -- but the Cowboys are the team in the NCF East that scares me the most right now. Drew Bledsoe is so up and down, he could wind up crying in a corner or leading his team down field for a crucial score every other possession. And sure, T.O. gives the Cowboys another element that can't be ignored. Who knows what his antics, injuries, overdoses (accidental or otherwise) -- just his overall distraction -- will do to the Cowboys (it's certainly not making Parcells any more pleasant). But when he is on the field, running plays, he is a threat. (Excuse me for a moment, I have to go burn my keyboard and shower repeatedly to cleanse myself of the dirty feeling that has engulfed me for saying that). But he is really the least of the concerns from Dallas. Terry Glenn is an excellent receiver. And with T.O. on the other side of the field, he's only going to get more and more cleaner looks and single coverage, and he can burn you everytime in that set up. Besides the fact he's going to be the one guy Bledsoe has a comfort level with, he will be the No. 1 option for Bledsoe. Throw in that Julius Jones can put a serious hurt on teams and open up the offense for Bledsoe and his receivers, and we'll mention Jason Witten and Marion Barber for good measure. Pair all of that with the fact that Dallas' defense looks pretty intimitating most quarters, and the Cowboys present the greatest concern for the division. (Excuse me again while I burn my replacement keyboard and shower a dozen more times.)
As for my Eagles, I do have high hopes for them this season. The heartbreak of the Giants aside, the preseason predictions seriously underrated the Eagles. Not that that was a bad thing -- being under the radar is a nice feeling after the last few years of melting under the 1000-watt bulbs of the glaring spotlight. The loss of Jevon Kearse is a serious blow and the nagging injuries that are already cropping up just three games in (Westbrook, Stallworth, our corners, etc.) aren't good signs for the longevity of players for the season. But the positive attitude of the team so far is refreshing. And I think the offense and defense have looked good and shown serious potential for taking down any opponent -- and never collapsing like they did against the Giants again. Then again, it's a Philly team, and depression is always lurking around any corner. Especially the last five weeks of the season, from Thanksgiving through the end of December: at the Colts, vs. Carolina, at Washington, at Giants, at Dallas, vs. Atlanta. That stretch run could kill any team.
So, let the heart-wrenching, nerve-wrangling resume on Monday night. Here's to hoping the Eagles that show up for MNF are those that played in the first half vs. the Giants -- and not the imposters that played in the fourth quarter.
I'll even spread a little joy to get the juices flowing for the game vs. the Packers.
The Syracuse Orange have a winning record! Their 11-game losing streak over, the Orange have won three straight! The latest win -- a 40-34 win in double-OT over Wyoming in the Dome might not have been pretty, but a win is a win. It's nice to see signs of improvement and hope for the future out of the ol' alma mater.

Tarpon fishing along much of the Gulf Coast usually comes to life in June and gets better as we head in the hot months of August and September. Many are caught in October, or until the cool fronts begin to chill the water. In fact, the Texas state record tarpon was caught on Oct 4, 2006.
So where is the best place to fish for tarpon along the Gulf Coast? Based on personnel experience, you can't go wrong out of Venice, La. Along the Texas coast, tarpon fishing can be pretty darned good from the Sabine jetties and on down the coast around Port O'Connor.
The bass fishing club that I belong to is not looking too good. A few days ago I went out to check on the water level and had to blink a couple of times to believe my eyes. The boat shed was almost high and dry, and there was nothing under the hull but dried mud. On one of the nearby trees, there were several buzzards surveying the scene and feeding on dead carp. An alligator was laid up in the reeds with only its toothy snout showing. Fishing on that particular lake has been sucked dry by the continuing drought.
I know we're only into the first official week of summer amid triple-digit temperatures, but believe it or not now is a good time to plug into this year's deer and duck hunting adventures. A little forward planning often goes a long way when opening day finally dawns.

There's a new market in town ladies & gentlemen… introducing the Village Market @ Cape Quarter! The market launched this past Sun and will be open every Sun from 10am to 3pm. They refer to themselves as:
A unique, European Lifestyle Market that supports local goods and produce, all the while striving to be as organic and environmentally friendly as possible.
But to be totally honest… the first thing that went through my mind was: "But will there be pancakes?"
We kicked off our market shopping with some interesting sounding spring rolls:
Then I was also tempted to try a fresh pie. My friend Johann had one and he looked pretty damn happy. Just look at this awesome display of featherlight crust:
The lovely lady at the Frying Dutchman stand gave us some free "poffertjes" to sample – basically they're like little pancake puffs sprinkled with cinnamon and dripping with chocolate sauce & fresh cream. How great does that sound?
After that I had to be dragged away from the Voila! stand with all their evil cupcakes, tarts & macarons:
Next we headed upstairs to what seems to be the main market area – but you'll find stands all over the new Cape Quarter extension. Here there was lots of seating place and it was buzzing with people.
The Heavenly Treats stand was a real stand out for me. Those quiches just looked… well… heavenly!
And then for some reason the sight of this bagel stand just made me want to run up and jump right into that stack. I dunno why exactly. It must have been a carb attack. hehe.
My friend Grant, who loves to cook – especially curries & potjies – went mad when he saw all the spices on offer. And I must say, it did make for quite a pretty photo:
He noted that a lot of these spices are very hard to come by, especially fresh, so this was a real score for him. Good to know. If I ever learn how to cook – I will keep this in mind.
I was very tempted to support the oysters & champers stand… well more for the champers than the creepy, slimy, gross oysters (can you tell I don't like them?). But seeing as it was only 11am – we hadn't quite reached "wine-o-clock" yet.
As we went back down, towards the outer edges of Cape Quarter, my dreams finally came true… we found the pancake stand! (well the dude called them "crêpes" – but that's just a fancy pants name for the same thing right). This guy was a real pro – just look at the ultra smooth hand movement, creating the perfect thickness for the fluffiest pancakes ever:
After all that eating, I felt like I needed a nap. But hey, that's what Sundays are for!
All and all, I think this market offers up some great things. I suspect that it's going to become very popular. I personally LOVE markets, so I think it's truly great that Cape Town folk have yet another cool one to check out.

More than 60 percent of adults with type 1 diabetes are not physically active, according to a study in the November 2008 issue of Diabetes Care. Their reason is fear that exercise will bring on hypoglycemia, leading to such severe consequences as loss of consciousness or even death.
The study, conducted by the University of Montreal, asked 100 types 1s-50 men and 50 women-what were the barriers to their exercising regularly. Fear of hypoglycemia topped the list, followed by such concerns as interference with work and low levels of fitness.
Many type 1s have experienced numerous hypoglycemic episodes, occurrences that are frightening and potentially dangerous. Research indicates that as time goes on, people with type 1 often lose the ability to discern when they are suffering from low blood sugar (usually defined as 70 mg/dl or below).
The study, conducted by the University of Montreal, asked 100 types 1s-50 men and 50 women-what were the barriers to their exercising regularly. Fear of hypoglycemia topped the list, followed by such concerns as interference with work and low levels of fitness.
The researchers found that only 52 percent of the study group's members understood how the body metabolizes insulin. They were more likely to engage in regular exercise if they knew how to balance food and insulin intake to take into account the effects of vigorous exercise.
The study members in the worst physical condition with the greatest fear of exercise were also those with the poorest understanding of how insulin works.
The study concluded that education programs aimed at type 1s need to clearly show how to balance insulin and food intake in a way that allows type 1s to exercise without running a high risk of hypoglycemia.

I lived in ABQ for 12 years & this is some of the best New Mexican food I have had in the metro area. I drive from Castle Rock & it's worth it.
Very disappointed with our trip to Jack and Grill. The food was over priced and the taste was just OK. Plus they charge for chips and salsa, where 95% of the Mexican restaurants offer this as complimentary. Also, the environment is more akin to a bar, and the overall ambiance was loud and unpleasing. Will not return.
Expensive and no good – My friend and I visited on the 6th..we had been there before. We sat on the patio. The table was sticky. After sitting for 10 minutes I got up and went to a little side table and got my own chips and salsa. After we ordered and the food came..mine was cold. I ordered a vege taco salad..my friend a Mexican Hamburger. I also had Margarita and my friend coffee..there was no coffee made so she had to wait. This was early afternoon. My salad came with very little cheese and cold. I had to order more cheese and ordered some green chili just to try and heat it up temp wise.
When the bill came it was almost $40 dollars for two lunches. They nickeled and dimed us for EVERYTHING..we both ordered Mexican lunches but they charged us for the salsa for example. I tiny bit of Guac was $2.00 Even though I had to get our own salsa..they charged me for it! I told our Waitress our food was cold and she just said she would tell the Manager.
The food was tasteless..the green chili no good and the cheese was processed flavorless at best. Skip this place and go accross the street to the fast food place..Santiago's they have good green chili..hot food and lots of cheese..you can't get a Margarita at Santiagos but you will pay less than half the cost of the meal..which will buy you a whole litre or two of Margaritas at the liquor store to take home later..Skip Jack N Grill..no good..dirty looking and just tastelss.
Worst Mexican food I have ever had the displeasure to eat – We visited the 92nd and Sheridan location on 7/23/2011
The biggest burger I've ever seen! – My boyfriend and I visited Jak-N-Grill last week, the place was packed so we sat outside. the service was great we got our drinks and chips & salsa right away. The only bad thing was they were out of several items such as onion rings, which ofcourse is what I wanted to have.... When we got our food we were very suprised to see this huge burger! it seriously covered over half of the plate and required both hands to eat. our food was very tasty and we had a great lunch for a reasonable price. we will go back if we ever are in the area again
Very disappointing – After waiting 30 minutes for a seat I was excited to try this place for the first time. Why else would this place be packed like this?
Once our table was ready we were asked about having some queso dip. RESIST! it is velvetta and diced green chile and probably water since it was so runny.
We got a burrito and a hamburger. The burger was fine since it had sides with it and you could add some salt and pepper. The burrito on the other hand was among to plainest buritto I have experienced to date. Mexican food has seasoning and this has NONE. Do people really think this is good food? ECK!
The prices were very reasonable for the portion sizes, but what about the flavor?
Disgusting!!!! Never going back. – I have never eaten food that was that bad. The 2 types of chili were gross and unfortunately they INSIST on smothering everything they make with it. Suprised it wasnt in my drink. Couldnt even taste my food because of the red chili (overpowering and tastes horrible). Yuck. Server was kind of pushy. Will never gone back and I would advise anybody thinking of trying it to stay away.
Good homestyle food – After JNG was showcased on Man vs Food I got curious about the burrito which was actually very good. This place is really nice as it offers tasty mexican dishes which don't cost much. This is one of the best places for mexican food because the food quality is excellent, green chili is the best, and the service is pretty okay.
Food tastes like Formula 409 - Mangement clueless Run Away!! – When I saw the review about the police being called because someone didn't want to pay for a terrible meal I thought they must be exaggerating, I couldn't believe a manager would be that stupid. I may have misjudged. Sun night @ 7:30 my wife and I decided go to the Westminster JNG since we live about 15 blocks from there. The hostess and seater were dressed like it was laundry day, we were seated in a booth with a 2 foot long tear in the seat and food on the floor all around. We contemplated leaving right then but Denise the server came over and she was very pleasant so we decided to stay. We ordered house margaritas, BLAND!!!!! My wife had the Combo plate #1, I had the carne adobada/bean sopa. Neither meal had much flavor, green chile was thin and tasteless. Then the fun started, the servers started taking the booths across from us apart and cleaning them with 409. Now our food tastes like 409, sadly not an improvement. I went to get the manager and my wife commented to the waiter about the rudeness of doing that while we were eating, he said he had been told to do it by the manager and apologized and stopped. The manager came over and offered to move us, we didn't want to move, we wanted to leave, everything now tasted like 409. He asked what I wanted, I said I want to know what I owe so that I could pay and leave, He said" Okay, Awesome!" I asked him if he thought it was awesome that they had ruined our dinner and we were leaving unhappy. He said that wasn't what he meant but I honestly think he didn't care, his attitude is terrible. He brought our check, comped nothing even though we could only eat half our meals. I commented that I couldn't believe he was charging me $42.00 for our ruined meals and he turned and walked away. The server Denise apologized several times. I tipped Denise well because it wasn't her fault that her manager is an inconsiderate imp with zero customer service skills. We won't go back!
dont complain|\ awful customer servicey cop – my son and his girlfriend went to store on 94th in westminster, it was a little before closing as he worked long hrs that day. they went to celebrate one year anniversary.. food was too bad to eat had a drink and decided to go elsewhere, manager was asked to delete meals as they were not eaten, and he would pay for drinks, manager said if he took a bite he had to pay my son asked for his credit card and was refused, and manager called police.. police asked no questions of my son or his girlfriend and were issued tickets for disorderly conduct and made to pay 40.00 bill. needless to say complaint filed with watch commander wesrminster police,and credit card disputed, and will be in court

ADA News
Dr. Jack S. Opinsky dies Oct. 1
West Hartford, Conn.—Dr. Jack S. Opinsky, a past trustee from ADA's 1st District (1985-91), died Oct. 1 from complications of a fall. He was 83 years old.
Friends and colleagues are remembering Dr. Opinsky as a dedicated community servant, hard-working volunteer for the benefit of the dental profession and dental education, and a dear friend.
"Jack was a committed and dedicated dental professional who had big dreams and ambitions, and fulfilled many of them to the betterment of dentistry, both locally and nationally," said his friend of more than 50 years, Dr. Howard I. Mark. "There was never anything too small or too large relative to dentistry that Jack did not play a role in."
Dr. Opinsky was president of the Connecticut State Dental Association and the Hartford Dental Society and a member of the CSDA Legislative Council—remaining actively involved in legislative initiatives throughout his career. The Dental Society of Greater Waterbury presented him with its highest honor for service, the Daniel Lynch Achievement Award. On the national level, he was a member of the House of Delegates and a fellow of the American College of Dentists, International College of Dentists and Pierre Fauchard Academy.
In the 1960s, Dr. Opinsky was part of a group that was responsible for founding the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. He later became a member of the dean's advisory group, a UConn trustee and clinical instructor in general dentistry.
Politics and the 1st Connecticut Governor's Foot Guard were two of his passions, said Dr. Mark. A lifelong Democrat, Dr. Opinsky "knew everyone, and he was everywhere he could be to help out." He was also a captain in the Foot Guard, one of the state's official military units, which posthumously promoted him to the rank of major.
Most of all, said Dr. Mark, "he cared deeply about people and showed it in the path he took," which included leadership in community organizations such as the West Hartford Public Health Commission and the Probus Club, an organization of business owners dedicated to helping people who have intellectual and physical challenges. "He set the bar high for those who followed," said Dr. Mark.
Dr. Opinsky served in the U.S. Navy in World War II and later the U.S. Air Force Reserve. He learned to cook in the Navy and was known to say, "I can only cook for 200." After the war, he pursued undergraduate and master's degrees at the University of Connecticut and received his dental degree from the State University of Iowa (now the University of Iowa College of Dentistry).
Services were held Oct. 3 in Hartford. Dr. Opinsky is survived by Phyllis, his wife of 59 years; son Martin; daughters Jami and Heidi; a daughter-in-law, two sons-in-law; and four grandchildren. Contributions can be made to: The Opinsky Scholarship Fund, UConn School of Dental Medicine, c/o University of Connecticut Health Center, Office of Development, 10 Talcott Notch Road, Suite 100, Farmington, CT 06032.

A gutsy pitching performance from RHS starting pitcher Jake Means, one key rally and a couple late timely hits helped Reed pull out a 7-6 Northern 4A victory in prep baseball action Saturday at Wooster.
The weekend affair was a far cry from Reed's 27-2 blowout romp at home over the Colts on Thursday.
"The other day was kind of a fluke and the score was elevated," Reed coach Ray Charles said. "Today, I thought we had a good approach at the plate at times, and not so good at other times. Our approach is something we work on every day in practice."
Reed scored single runs in the first and seventh to go along with five in the fourth, but in four other innings Reed failed to score.
Wooster (2-9, 0-6 Northern 4A) trailed 6-3 after five-plus innings but the Colts pulled into a 6-6 deadlock by pushing across three runs in the bottom of the sixth. Two Reed throwing errors helped the Colts' cause, extending the WHS rally. Only two of Wooster's three runs in the frame were earned.
So, knotted at 6-6, Reed needed another run to regain the lead and avoid a loss or extra innings. The Raiders got it in the top of the seventh. Spencer Jones led off, and with the Wooster center fielder playing in shallow, mashed a high drive that sailed over the outfielder's head and dropped near the base of the wall, resulting in a double.
Pinch runner Tyler Starley came on for Jones and quickly scored when Casey Higgins stepped up next and laced an RBI single to right field.
"For us to come back, after they had just tied it up and really had the momentum, says something about our team. I'm proud of our guys," Charles said.
Means did indeed make the 7-6 lead stand up, by hurling a scoreless bottom of the seventh. Wooster clean-up hitter Filiberto Castro started the Colts off with a leadoff double but that's as good as it got for the hosts. Means retired the next three Colts, on a strikeout, groundball to first base and liner right at Higgins in right field.
Means, Reed's steady right-hander, picked up the complete-game victory. He scattered nine Colts hits, gave up four earned runs and struck out seven without issuing a walk.
"He came over and told me he wanted to finish the game," Charles said. "His pitch count wasn't really what I wanted, but it was still under a 100, so I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He was able to finish it. I was proud of him.
"He's going to throw strikes. He's not going to walk a lot of people. If we make plays behind him, he usually keeps us in games. That's all you can ask from your starter."
The Raiders jumped on top with a run in the top of the first. Ryan Butler doubled and scored after a A.J. Silva reached on a Wooster error.
The east Sparks school extended its edge to 6-0 with a five-run outburst in the fourth inning. Drew Bryant singled and Higgins came on to pinch run. After a fly out, Connor Cox singled and Butler singled to plate Higgins. Beau Tittensor followed and roped a two-run double. The scoring was capped in the inning on RBI singles by Silva and Chuck Stroberg.
Wooster was able to break through against Means in the bottom of the fourth for a trio of runs, setting the stage for the late-game drama.
Reed, which started 0-3 in league play, has evened its record in conference clashes at 3-3. The Raiders sit 7-4 overall. They will be in action again Tuesday with a single game at home against Damonte Ranch.

Munchlax is one of the most useful Pokemon in Little Cup and thanks to its mammoth HP as well as its great Attack and Special Defense stats, it can simultaneously take an offensive and defensive role on most teams. A cornerstone of special walling, Munchlax is most teams' answer to vicious special attackers, such as Gastly, Chinchou, Mantyke, and Abra, and its very presence prevents special threats from running rampant in the metagame. At the same time, though, it is let down by mediocre physical defense and the lowest Speed in the entire metagame. However, its usefulness is undeniable, and it's easy to see why, despite its shortcomings, Munchlax is still one of the defining Pokemon in the Little Cup metagame.
Munchlax's high Special Defense lets it wall special opponents handily, threatening opponents such as Gastly and Drifloon with Pursuit. Return provides basic STAB, and is Munchlax's strongest attack. Body Slam is only slightly weaker, but it can paralyze threatening opponents that switch in, such as Aron and Gligar. Earthquake hits Rock- and Steel-types that resist Munchlax's STAB Return. Pursuit hits Ghost- and Psychic-types hard, which is one of the biggest reasons to use Munchlax in Little Cup. The fourth moveslot choice is up to your preference; Fire Punch can be used to hit Bronzor, while Ice Punch can be used to hit Gligar if it causes trouble for your team.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Like its older sibling Snorlax in OU, Munchlax can run a Curse set effectively in LC, with the distinction of possesing something like a recovery move, the Oran Berry-Recycle combination. After using Curse and recovering lost HP with Oran Berry, Recycle allows Munchlax to regain the Oran Berry. This means that Munchlax can recover 64.52% of its HP by using 2 Oran Berries.
On the offensive side, Return is a very powerful STAB move, but Body Slam can be used for paralysis support. Fire Punch allows Munchlax to hit Steel-types for super effective damage, while putting the hurt on Ghost-types. ThunderPunch can be used instead of Fire Punch, as it allows Munchlax to hit Rock-types for neutral damage and pesky Water-types (bar Chinchou) for super effective damage. Earthquake allows Munchlax to hit Rock- and Steel-types for super effective damage, but Flying or Levitating Ghosts such as Drifloon and Gastly will be immune to both offensive attacks.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Munchlax's incredible bulk and ability to stop common Rain Dance counters such as Snover and Chinchou make it a very competent Rain Dance supporter. Rain Dance and Damp Rock are essential to this set's success, since it can easily set up eight turns of rain. Return is Munchlax's primary STAB move, and is its best option against a variety of threats. Earthquake is important for 2HKOing Chinchou, while Pursuit allows Munchlax to trap Snover and other Pokemon. As previously stated, Damp Rock is the primary hold item due to its effect of extending Rain Dance, but an Oran Berry can be used as a viable alternative if Munchlax does not seem bulky enough. Oran Berry will also allow Munchlax to switch in more times to take more punishment, albeit while setting up shorter Rain Dances.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Thanks to its mammoth HP stat and general bulk, Munchlax is a good candidate to use Leftovers. Using at least 156 HP EVs will mean that Munchlax will heal 2 HP per turn from Leftovers. With Protect, this becomes even more potent, being able to recover health while scouting at the same time.
Munchlax has a sizeable movepool filled with things to catch counters off-guard. Seed Bomb can be used to hit for good neutral damage all around and hit Rock-types super effectively without the risk of Ground-immune Pokemon switching in for free on Earthquake. Surf can be used to hit the lower Special Defense of the Rock / Ground or Rock / Steel types, but loses against Rock / Water types. Substitute and Focus Punch can be used together, as Munchlax tends to force switches, which allow it to set up its huge 8 HP Substitutes. However, Pursuit is often significantly more effective for punishing opposing switches. Chople Berry can be used to surprise an opposing Fighting-type, but Munchlax loses significant bulk without Oran Berry's 10 HP boost, which leaves it open to some special threats. Munchlax is also a great Pokemon to use with Trick Room support. If used in Trick Room, Munchlax can make even better use of Life Orb to provide a power boost at the expense of bulk.
Checks and Counters
It is incredibly difficult to actually counter Munchlax because of the excellent power of its STAB Return. Ghost-types with Levitate are generally the most effective counters, but Pursuit, Seed Bomb, and Fire Punch are all threatening. Really, the only thing you can do is predict and pray. Don't switch Bronzor into Fire Punch, don't switch Ghost-types into things not named Return / Earthquake, and don't switch Rock-types into Seed Bomb or Earthquake. If you manage to do that you should be fine.
Revenge killing is slightly easier. Munchlax is dreadfully slow, and its physical defense is its only real weak point, so when you get the chance, hit it hard with the strongest physical attack that you have. Fighting-types, such as Mankey and Machop can easily demolish Munchlax. Really, just wear it down with repeated attacks. It is hard to keep it in on things that hit with any semblance of physical power.

Chipotle paste
Chipotle chillies - smoked Mexican jalapeño chillies - add an authentic smoky flavour to this stew. Chipotle paste is usually easier to find than the dried chillies.
- Heat the oil in a medium saucepan. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins or until softened and starting to turn golden, adding the garlic for the final min. Stir in the sugar, chipotle paste and tomatoes. Put the chicken into the pan, spoon over the sauce, and simmer gently for 20 mins until the chicken has cooked (add a splash of water if the sauce gets too dry).
- Remove the chicken from the pan and shred with 2 forks, then stir back into the sauce. Scatter with a little red onion, the coriander, and serve with remaining red onion, tortillas or rice.
Recipe from Good Food magazine, June 2010
Comments, questions and tips
Made this at the weekend for a group of friends. Couldn't find the paste anywhere so used fresh red chillis and some jalapenos from a jar plus some chilli sauce.
Went down a treat with everyone.
One can of tomatoes isn't enough however - I had to add an extra one just to cover the chicken and I only used 3 breasts rather than 4.
Made this tonight and myself and my husband thought it was really tasty. I couldn't find the chipotle paste in Dublin but I did find Chipotle chillis in a small tin in the Food Emporium in Abbey Street (if anyone from Dublin is reading this!!). I blitzed them in a blender and used a teaspoon and kept the rest in a jar in the fridge. I will use more than a teaspoon though the next time. I was spicy at the start of cooking but wasn't as when the cooking time was over.
The chicken was gorgeous and moist. I served it with boiled rice but might have it with the torilla wraps tomorrow!
Hands up who loves two day dinners!!!!
This recipe is an absolute gem! Ideal for a meal with friends or as part of a hot buffet. It's so so easy!
Like many I struggled to find the chipotle paste, but people in the North West who live near a Booths supermarket and larger Sainsbury's also stock the discovery brand.
That said, I think the many variations that not being able to find this ingredient brings out, is one of its charms. I used mild chilli powder, half a teaspoon of lazy chillies (for the kick) and then put in chopped Chorizo sausage with the chicken to give the nice smoky flavour.
I also find using extra tinned tomatoes instead of liquid helps give a more thicker and richer sauce too.
This is a delicious, low fat and quick and easy recipe for in the week - before we eventually tracked down chipotle paste in Waitrose, we used a packet of fajita seasoning mix instead which worekd well. When using the chipotle paste, I use a tablespoon rather than teaspoon for a decent kick. I serve this with a wholemeal toasted pitta bread to keep it healthy and filling. Yum!
I normally love all the recipies that I try on this website, but not this one. I can't say that it was 'bad' just disappointing. Maybe it is because none of my local supermarkets stock the past so I just used chilli and tomato past and one tsp of smoked paprika - also didnt go down to well with the kids who normally enjoy wraps.

6 ways to spice up reading and writing for your kids
by Virginia O'Neill on 20/02/2014 in
Kids Education
Reading and writing are core skills for any young person to possess; however, International studies have shown that even for English speaking countries like Australia, kids were found to have below average reading and writing skills. This is not surprising when you consider how heavily children today rely on digital technology to do the thinking for them. Just the other day, I caught my oldest daughter too lazy to correct her spelling mistake on her Word document. When I questioned her about it, her reply was simply, "It's ok, mom. The computer will spell check it for me." The key to improving our kids' literacy level is to develop their interest in reading and writing from a young age. If you find your kid struggling with reading and writing or simply lack the interest, give the following tips a try.

by Bec Wilson on 11/02/2014 in
Kids Education
Last week during Chinese New Year, my family and I were blessed to be invited over to our neighbour's place for a traditional new year celebration. Our little ones really enjoyed trying all the traditional Chinese dishes, learning about new year traditions and were even given 'red pocket money' for good luck. This got me thinking about the culturally diverse world our children live in today. Today more than ever, our children need to learn to respect and appreciate that everyone is different - whether it's their hair colour, skin colour, race... Here are some kids activities that helps to extend your child's cultural learning.

Or perhaps you have been a little too over-protective of your kids to leave the walls of your home and backyard. Well, it appears that you are not alone!

Kids Health & Fitness
I want you to think hard about the last time you managed to have some quality time to yourself, doing something that you enjoy and just let you mind and spirit unwind. If you're able to recall the moment straight away then you're amongst the minority of parents who are not suffering from the 'Pressured Parents Phenomenon'. We all feel pressured to be the perfect do-it-all parent but the truth is, by taking on too much and constantly denying ourselves of time to relax and rest, we are actually causing more harm to our relationships with our kids. We'll become more easily agitated and too tired to spend time with our kids. So, start incorporating some of the following tips to your weekly routine towards a more stress-free and balanced lifestyle.

There's no need to ever spank again!
by Virginia O'Neill on 28/12/2013 in
Kids Education
I am the first to admit that while I love my kids, it is not always easy to keep my cool when they misbehave. The argument of whether it is ever ok to smack your child as a form of discipline is an old one. Studies have found connections between spanking and development of "mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse/ dependence, and personality disorder" later on in life. Before you give into the temptation of spanking your kids next time, give these alternative methods a try.

Hi Folks!
Important Reminder: If you're on one of the Wilson Bros DIY Lawn Care Programs it's now time for Step 2: the application of Lebanon Proscape 18-0-4 w/Weed Preventer. One bag covers up to 12,000 square feet of lawn area feeding with a slow-release, golf course grade fertilizer and prevents crabgrass and other weeds for up to 6 months for $43.97.
Now to some NEWS-U-CAN-USE...
The Weather...
Okay, so it looks like Mother Nature let Old Man Winter off the leash this past week to blow his little last breath for the season. It's truly amazing how after things have warmed up nicely in April there almost always comes a short, late cold front to shiver our timbers. But Mother Nature knows what she's doing. It's usually mid-April or so when the her blackberry plants start to bloom. These flowers need a little blast of cold to set their best crop of fruit. And that's why this late cold snap is called Blackberry Winter! Anyway, we don't see anything remotely close to overnight lows in the 30's so it's time to plant anything and everything.
What's Hot?
Not much has changed since last week...everything is on fire at the nursery! Well, not literally on fire...that would be very, very sad...but you know what we mean:-)
As is usual this time of year, we have tons of shrubs, trees, perennials, veggies, tropicals, vines, low-maintenance roses, ornamental grasses and more in stock right now that are itching to be adopted and planted! Oh, but we forgot to mention one type of plant: annual flowers...or what some of you might call "annual bedding plants." At the nursery, we just call them "annuals." And that's exactly what we'll be focusing on this week.
What are Annuals? Simply defined, annuals are plants that live for one year and are primarily used in flower beds and container gardens to add vibrant splashes of color in the landscape and gardens as well as on patios, porches, decks and around other outdoor living spaces. In general, there are two types of annuals: warm season, and cool season. But we're heading into the warm season so that's what we'll focus on now.
These days, there are endless types and varieties of annuals to choose from. Some, such as begonias, petunias, million bells and geraniums produce colorful flowers while others such as caladiums and sun coleus are sought after and prized for their colorful foliage and the contrast and texture they provide in flowerbeds and container gardens.
For many, annuals are a go-to solution for many garden needs. Annuals are a quick way to fill empty spots in garden beds, create small or large splashes of vibrant color, or use singularly or mixed in container gardens. For any garden, there are dozens of annuals that work for particular sun/shade situations, soil conditions, and color preferences.
Check out the links below to get some annual plant gardening tips from our experts...

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beautiful invitations
Lovely Blossoms Rectangle Invitations I loved working with MagnetStreet. Everything was easy to use, and the design came out just like I wanted it to. I also used them for my save the dates, and those were great too!!
So pleased with these invitations
Lovely Blossoms Rectangle Invitations I ordered the rectangular invitations with RSVP postcards and envelope liners. I specified a Pantone color for the main color. I'm so happy with the quality of the color, printing, paper, and overall presentation. I would recommend this vendor to any upcoming bride.
Overall easy, nice product. Would use again.
Lovely Blossoms Save the Date Magnets We ordered save the date magnets. The customization was fairly simple and there were a lot of options. The price wasn't particularly inexpensive or expensive. The magnets took a little longer to arrive than I would have liked. However, the shipping presentation was a nice touch-- sample invitations and a neat little booklet. Overall good experience, I would use the company again.
Beautiful Invitations!
Lovely Blossoms Rectangle Invitations I couldn't be happier with the invitations and RSVP cards. It was so easy to personalize them and it didn't take long to receive them after I ordered. Great job!!

Valpo Drops Season Finale to Western Michigan
Related Links
Sunday, November 29, 2009
Valparaiso dropped its season finale to Western Michigan Saturday evening, 3-0 (25-22, 25-19, 25-15), in Kalamazoo, Mich.
The opening set featured ten ties and five lead changes. The Broncos rallied from a 16-13 deficit to score three straight points to force a 16-16 tie before Valpo went on a 5-3 spurt, featuring kills by Katie Britton (Mishawaka, Ind./Marian) and Jenny Pokorny (Geneva, Ill./Geneva) and a pair of terminations by Tara Diebler (Indianapolis, Ind./Franklin Central), to take a 21-19 advantage. After WMU scored three straight points to take the lead back, Angie Porché (Lynwood, Ill./Thornton Fractional South) tallied a kill to tie things up at 22, but the Broncos scored three more points in a row to close out the opener.
Neither of the final two sets was quite as close for the Crusaders. Valpo cut a four-point deficit to two points midway through the second set, but WMU responded with four straight points to take control of that frame for good and enter intermission with a two-set lead. The final set saw the Broncos run out to leads of 10-1 and 14-2 en route to earning the sweep.
Valparaiso's three graduating seniors all saw multiple sets of action on Saturday in Kalamazoo. Porché posted ten kills and eight digs in her final career match and closed her career with 2,046 career kills and 5,171 career attacks, both Crusader all-time records, to go along with 1,101 career digs. Kim Bukowski (Waukesha, Wis./West) dished out 27 assists and eight digs and ended her career with 3,543 career helpers, third-most in Valpo history, while Haley Wise (Mishawaka, Ind./Mishawaka) tallied five digs in her final match and finished her four years with 572 career digs.
"It was bittersweet to send our seniors off tonight," said Crusader head coach Carin Avery. "The result wasn't what I was hoping for for the three of them, but they have all been a big part of this program, helping to lead the team into the Horizon League, and have all made contributions to our team beyond the stat sheet that will live on for years to come."
Britton led the Crusaders offensively with 11 kills without committing an attack error, hitting at a .423 clip for the evening. Freshman libero Taylor Root (Jenison, Mich./Jenison) paced Valparaiso (22-11) with 22 digs on the back line.
Western Michigan (24-11) hit .378 as a team on Saturday, led by a .556 effort from Michelle Moore, who posted 15 kills without an attack error. Jessica Brown and Katie Eberling each also hit over .400 for the Broncos, who got a match-best 26 digs from Caitlin Strimel.

If the sink did not have it's own trap, then there would be no reason to vent it. If that were the case it would be sharing the washer's trap (which must have it's own vent). I have no idea if that would be allowed where you you live.
The type work you are planning requires a permit from the local municipality. I recommend you go speak to your local plumbing inspector and see what he thinks of your plumber's idea.
