The fabric for this jacket is a hand dyed brocade polyester/cotton mix.The jacket is fully lined with anti static lining and the collar and lapels are taffeta.
Not a very easy jacket to make as you have to put it all together inside out ,fully sew apart from the sleeve hems then pull it all through the sleeves and hey presto there it is you hope.
This product is for sale

Hi G! Beautiful work, beautiful jacket! What you have done is make a jacket with a "bagged lining" Tricky but fun. You can also do it by sewing the sleeve hems as well, leave an opening in one of the sleeve seams, and pull it all through that. As for me, I actually enjoy inserting a lining by hand, but I love to make things more difficult than they need to be ;-)))

I am a newbie taking classes for appliance repair
I checked a frig today and noticed that there is air flow the fan is spinning but the air seems quite cool...
I don't use a lot of after market parts, but Aspen manufacturing sells a pretty reliable evap motor p # erwr60x162. This motor turns counter clockwise but is reversible. I use this motor in many different design refrigs. I pay appr. $12.00. I've only ever had to replace one out of a thousand. On the ge, most turn cw. This is ccw so for two extra bucks I throw a fb403 five blade fan blade. Keeps me from reversing. Done. If your working on a lot of these is an apartment complex, it's a good part to keep on hand. This motor is in some cases better than the original part. Aspen 1-800-327-1794. Open a business acct and tell them to send you a catalog.
Or you could purchase the ERWR60X162 from our parts affiliate AppliancePartsPro.com for $3 more and help support our site.They also have the fan blade part # fb403
Your suggestions make it a possible fix so I owe someone a beer
is there anything I should look for to make sure that this part will in fact be compatible? or is there anything I should be aware of in converting other then what is previously mentioned

"Yesterday afternoon, I went to the White House and asked the President to be allowed, for personal reasons, to resign from my position as D/CIA. After being married for over 37 years, I showed extremely poor judgment by engaging in an extramarital affair. Such behavior is unacceptable, both as a husband and as the leader of an organization such as ours. This afternoon, the president graciously accepted my resignation."

Residents and community activists are demanding answers after the fatal shooting of a mentally ill man by Los Angeles police officers on Monday night.
Earl Ofari Hutchinson, president of the Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable, said Wednesday he has asked for a meeting with Police Chief Charlie Beck after he saw media reports about the shooting.
"One of the things we wanted to make clear to the chief was you really want to get ahead of the situation," he said. "Anyone that has information about it -- given the fact that it is a priority item for the LAPD and for the community -- they need to come forward."
On Wednesday, LAPD released a detailed narrative of the confrontation, alleging that the man tackled one officer and went for his gun before police opened fire.
LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith said two veteran gang officers were driving down West 65th Street on Monday night when they spotted Ezell Ford, 25, walking on the sidewalk. An LAPD statement, citing a preliminary investigation, said the officers got out of their car and tried to talk to Ford but that he "continued walking and made suspicious movements, including attempting to conceal his hands."
When the officers got closer, Smith said, Ford "whirled around and basically tackled the lead officer." Ford reached for the officer's gun, Smith said, prompting his partner to open fire. The officer on the ground reached for his backup weapon and also fired, Smith said.
Ford was handcuffed -- as is routine in such shootings, according to the LAPD -- and paramedics were called to the scene. He died later at a hospital.
But some who lived in the area questioned the police account. A friend of Ford's family told The Times that she witnessed part of the incident and saw no struggle between the officers and Ford.
Dorene Henderson, 57, said she had crossed the street in front of Ford when she heard someone yell, "Get down, get down."
Henderson said one officer was out of the car when she heard a gunshot. She said neighbors began yelling at the officers, "He's got mental problems."
Henderson said she saw the other officer get out of the driver's side of the police car, and that she then heard two more shots.
A man interviewed by KTLA-TV said Ford was complying with officers or had been subdued at the time of the shooting.
These accounts prompted a backlash on social media against the LAPD, with some comparing Ford's death to the shooting of a young, unarmed black man in Ferguson, Mo., that has sparked ongoing protests and national headlines. Some called on Facebook for a rally outside LAPD headquarters on Sunday.
Smith cautioned that the LAPD's investigation into the incident was ongoing, as are separate reviews by the department's inspector general and the Los Angeles County district attorney's office. But, he said, "there is a lot of misinformation out there."
"He didn't comply with any of the officers' instructions," Smith said. "He was grabbing the officer's gun with the officer underneath him."
Coroner's officials have yet to release details about Ford's wounds.
On Wednesday afternoon, friends and family gathered at the site where Ford had been shot in the Florence area of the city. Blue and white candles marked the location.
The graffiti-pocked neighborhood has one of the highest rates of violent crime in Los Angeles County, according to crime reports analyzed by The Times' crime database.
A portrait emerged of Ford as a troubled young man who was well known in the neighborhood as struggling with mental health problems.
Los Angeles County court records show Ford had convictions for marijuana possession and illegally possessing a loaded firearm. His most recent conviction came in January, when he was put on three years' summary probation for trespassing in Long Beach.
Ford's parents, who said they were still seeking information about their eldest son's death, described him as an active, social boy who dreamed of becoming a basketball star but suffered from mental illness. When he was 18, they said, he began to withdraw, becoming less social.
"He constantly kept moving around and would look at you like he didn't trust you," said Ford's father, Ezell Ford Sr.
Ezell Ford was diagnosed with depression, his parents said, and later schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. As he got older, his father said, he began taking medication that made him less active.
"I was sad," his father said. "Why was my son going through this?"
Most recently, Ezell Ford's parents said they knew their son as a drifter. He'd go on long walks from his house, sometimes to his grandmother's home in the West Adams area. Once, his parents said, he walked all the way to Long Beach for no apparent reason.
Residents in the area and police officers knew about Ezell Ford's mental health, his parents said.
"At the end of the day, he was a good kid," his father said.

Golden Planet necessitava di un nuovo design di pagina web e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 106 design presentati da 12 designer.
Golden Planet
We are building online stores for companies primarily in Denmark (nice little Kingdom in Northern Europe). Starting our business in 1996 and are today among the leading providers in this neighbourhood of the world :)
The design will be used in hundreds of pretty different e-commerce stores so hence the design must be very universal. However as you can read in the requirements we will offer flexibility to each shop owner for them to fit it for their specific look and even each product.
The goal is to present products in a nice and creative way on the front page of online stores.
It will be one product at a time in the top center of the page.
The presentation consist of:
- Product image
- Price
- Title/headline
- Product description
- Previous/Next navigation
- Background image
We have made a sketch to illustrate the requirements:
The shop owner will be able to chose from from different background images or upload his own. This will be per product so if you are selling shoes you might want to upload a background image with grass and make something in the style of http://www.monobofootwear.com/
The shop owner will also be able to set the font color to make sure the contrast to the background is readable so no need to worry about that in the design ;)
We will provide the shop owners with 4-5 different backgrounds to choose from so it would be nice if you could make (some of) these, taking into account that they should have different contrast to the product image.
We are here at 99designs because we don't do much creative work ourself so if you want new contacts to potential customers we would be happy to direct our customers to the profile page of the winning designer ;)
Winning design should be delivered in layered .psd file and then we will code it into jQuery or flash slider.

Some years ago, I developed my new blog with this old address (rudymh.blogspot.com), after some years configuring my first website address at rudymh.8m.com. One day I felt this old address seemed too egocentric. Then, I started to change this address to the new one, i.e. pojokgagasan.blogspot.com, which is supported by Blogger's technology. Thanks to Blogger's team.
Surprisingly, one day, when I was researching the internet, I found that my old blog address had been referring by some website with the internet link directly to this my old blog, like http://lpse.blogdetik.com/. As some people may know, I have been sharing my knowledge in developing e-Audit module for Indonesia e-Procurement system, which we call it Layanan Pengadaan Secara Elektronik (LPSE). I didn't want they felt disappointed because the link was broken. And then I reactivated this address again to serve them. But, know I will share not only for them, but also for the general people.
Now I'm thinking that this address will be used for putting my general idea in improving Indonesia, and on the other side the address at pojokgagasan.blogspot.com will be used to capture my idea in improving information technology implementation and fighting corruption.
When we have a blog, we felt very touched when the blog was accessed by many people and gave benefit to them. That is why only you who can judge if this blog really gives benefit to the people. I'm just putting my idea in improving the country, to make it better, so our country could be more competitive and wealthy happened for the people.

The Leitrim Genealogy Centre is organizing the return of the Leitrim Roots Festival for September 2013. The Leitrim Roots Festival hopes to attract anyone who has connections with Leitrim. Its aim is to get visitors to spend a week in Leitrim and get to know the beauty and history of the county of their ancestors. The festival is also for visitors who want to have a genuine Irish experience and interact with local communities and it is for Leitrim people who would like to experience all that their home county has to offer.
Sinéad McDermott of the Leitrim Roots Festival 'We are looking forward to welcoming visitors from all over the world to the this event. The Festival will be of great interest to people young and old whose ancestors came from Co. Leitrim and people born in the county. I must highlight we also welcome people who want a genuine Irish experience'. This will be a week to remember!'.
It is estimated that there are approximately 1,000,000 people in the United States who have Leitrim ancestry. There are also large numbers of people in England, Canada and Australia who can trace their roots back to Leitrim. Leitrim has many famous sons and daughters such as US Actor's such as 'Patrick McGoohan' from the Prisoner, the legendary 'James Cagney', and Actress 'Maura Tierney' of ER Fame, who all have family roots in the county. In 2006 the Leitrim Genealogy Centre organised the first ever Roots Festival which attracted visitors from all over the world for a week-long event. The event was very successful and as a result the Leitrim Roots Festival returns in 2013 and aims to be the biggest and best party ever. Everyone is welcome.
For many visitors it will be a dream opportunity to visit Leitrim with a wonderful programme of events, visits, lectures and cultural events to take part in. New for the 2013 programme is meeting people from local communities all across Leitrim. We hope that festival attendees will enjoy meeting with the many characters and experience the hospitality and warm welcome that County Leitrim is so famous for.
The Leitrim Roots festival will take place from 20th - 28th September 2013.
Some of the highlights include:
• Leitrim Ancestry with visits to both the Leitrim Genealogy Centre and the County Library in Ballinamore where you can attend a workshop on 'Tracing your Leitrim Roots'. Staff will then be happy to help in any way that they can with your research. A visit in the afternoon to The Glenview Folk Museum which has a collection of over 6000 items some of which may reconnect you with your Leitrim roots.
• Famine Connections with a visit St George's Heritage Centre in Carrick on Shannon where the exhibits and displays give an insight into Leitrim's famine heritage. This will be followed by a visit to the Attic Memorial in the old Workhouse where a palpable sense of the past will come hauntingly alive. Then onto lunch to Strokestown Park House and Famine Museum which commemorates the history of famine in Ireland.
• Walking in the footsteps of one of Ireland's most famous poets William Butler Yeats; visiting areas that inspired him including Glencar in North Leitrim which featured in 'The Stolen Child' and the Lake Isle of Innisfree which features in one of Ireland's most popular poems. This Yeats filled day will be followed by an evening of poetry and dinner overlooking Lough Gill.
• Leitrim Community Day sees you visit the community that you have most connections with. Our Leitrim Ambassadors will meet with you and take you to places of particular interest and answer any questions you may have.
These are just the highlights. There is a full seven day programme available which also includes theatre nights, traditional music entertainment, a cruise on the River Shannon, Céilís and many other events. Please visit www.leitrimrootsfestival.com for more details.
Overall this will be a wonderful week in Leitrim and for some a first ever opportunity to have an in-depth look at the county. For others there will be the opportunity to visit the parishes in the county where their ancestors lived out their lives. It is anticipated that of the many people who have already had research done by Leitrim Genealogy Centre, many will take this unique opportunity to visit Leitrim. This week will also be a great opportunity for Leitrim-born people from all over the world to visit Leitrim

Author Notes: This recipe is adapted from Rose Levy Berenbaum's Open Faced Fresh Blueberry Pie, circa 1998. I used a cornmeal crust (inspired by a Gourmet recipe that I can no longer find to properly attribute it) with white whole wheat flour, and I like the crisp texture and slightly bitter taste of the whole wheat against the sweetness of the blueberries. The mint comes as a surprise because you make a minted simple syrup and use it to make the blueberry jam that binds the pie together. What I love about this pie is that it's all about the blueberries. We only get fresh blueberries a couple of months a year, and I find myself making this frequently. Because you blind bake the pie crust, you can make the crust in the morning before it gets too hot to turn the oven on, and make the filling when you like. The filling is a little loose, and sometimes a few blueberries escape when you cut into the pie--but that just adds to the pleasure of eating fresh blueberries. You may need to add more sugar if your berries aren't very sweet, and you can certainly vary the berries that you use. —drbabs
Serves: 1 pie
Cornmeal Crust
egg , separated (reserve white for after crust is baked)
tablespoons ice water
1 1/4
cups all purpose or white whole wheat flour
cup yellow cornmeal
tablespoons sugar
teaspoon kosher salt
cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
Blueberry Filling
cup packed fresh spearmint
cup plus 2 tablespoons water, divided
cup sugar
cups blueberries, rinsed and dried
tablespoons corn starch
teaspoon freshly squeezed lime juice
pinch of kosher salt (Diamond Crystal)
Cornmeal Crust
- Whisk 3 tablespoons ice water and egg yolk in small bowl to blend. Mix all purpose flour, yellow cornmeal, sugar and salt in processor. Add chilled butter. Pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Drizzle egg yolk/water mixture into the processor. Pulse until moist clumps form, adding more ice water by teaspoonfuls if dough is dry. Gather dough into ball. Flatten dough into disk; wrap disk in plastic and refrigerate 30 minutes or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 375°F at least 20 minutes before baking. Roll out dough between 2 sheets of parchment to 12-inch round. Remove top sheet of parchment. Invert dough, paper side up, into 9-inch-diameter glass pie dish. Press dough into pie plate. Dock the crust by stabbing it all over with a small fork. Lift off parchment and trim edges. (If the butter has warmed too much to lift the parchment easily, put it back in the refrigerator for a few minutes.) Lay the parchment back onto the pie crust.
- Fill the pie with rice or dried beans. Bake for 20 minutes. Carefully lift out the rice or beans with the parchment. and bake 5-10 minutes, or until the crust is pale golden. Cool the crust on a rack for 3 minutes, so it is no longer piping hot, then brush the bottom and sides with the egg white.
Blueberry Filling
- Place the mint, 1/2 cup of water, water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil. Turn the water off, and let the mint steep in the water, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar, and pressing down on the mint leaves to release their oils. Let this steep for about 15 minutes till it comes to approximately room temperature.
- Measure out 1 cup of the blueberries. Place them in a large saucepan. Strain the minted simple syrup into the pan. Add a pinch of kosher salt. Cover and bring the blueberry mixture to a boil.
- Stir cornstarch into 2 tablespoons of water till completely dissolved. Whisk together the cornstarch slurry and lime juice. Make sure the cornstarch is fully blended and there are no lumps. Set it aside.
- When the syrup and blueberries have come to a boil, lower the heat and simmer, stirring constantly for 3 to 4 minutes or until the blueberries start to burst and the juices begin to thicken and reduce. Stirring constantly, add the cornstarch slurry mixture. Simmer for a minute or until the mixture becomes translucent. Immediately remove it from the heat and quickly fold in the remaining 3 cups of blueberries.
- Spoon the mixture into the baked pie shell and allow it to sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Serve this with some lightly sweetened whipped cream or good vanilla ice cream.

Fresh off rave reviews for her Golden Globes co-hosting duties, Amy Poehler is about to tackle a more daunting task –- the Super Bowl ad for the troubled Best Buy chain.
The comedian and actress, who scored what was probably the most oft-repeated line of the Golden Globes fest (it's at about the 1-minute, 50-second mark of the opening), will be the star of a 30-second ad for the electronics chain during the first quarter of the game, according to the Associated Press.
"Amy is this comedic everyperson who can make things simple," said Scott Durchslag, president of Best Buy's online and global e-commerce. "And Best Buy is trying to accomplish the same thing — making technology simple."
Simple? That's the message?
Well, maybe after last year -- which was no laughing matter for Best Buy -- the chain is waxing nostalgic for simpler times when it was not being crushed by online competitors.

Author Notes: This recipe was first inspired by the gorgeous blood oranges that have been at the market recently. They always remind of Italy and the time I spent there in college, so I made a Blood Orange Cardamom Marmalade and turned it into a Blood Orange Cardamom Crostata, a rustic Italian jam tart with gorgeous pieces of candied peel. The marmalade recipe is adapted from Elise Bauer's at Simply Recipes Sevilla Orange Marmalade —piccantedolce
Makes: 1 8"x11" rectangle tart
blood oranges, enough for 2 cups juice
cups water
3 1/2
cups organic cane sugar
cardamom pods
In This Recipe
- Scrub the oranges and lemons with soap and water to make sure the skins are clean. Half all of the oranges and juice each half well until you have 2 cups of blood orange juice. Be sure to reserve any seeds or membranes in a separate bowl.
- Take the rind from one of the juices halves, cut it in half and using a spoon or the edge of a small knife scrape out as much of the white pith as possible. The pith is what determine how bitter the end result will be. Repeat with each half and then thinly slice the rind into long strips until you have 3 1/2 cups of peel.
- Half and juice each lemon and add the lemon juice to the orange juice, also reserving any seeds and membrane.
- Put the seed and membranes into 4 layers of cheesecloth and tie up tightly with string.
- Place the thinly sliced rind and water in a 4-5 quart thick-bottomed pot. Stir to combine. Place the cheesecloth with the seeds etc in the pot, it's smart to tie one end on to the pot's handle.
- Bring the mixture to a boil and let boil uncovered for 20-30 minutes until the peels are soft. Taste the peel to determine softness. Remove from heat and place the pectin bag in a bowl and reserve until cool.
- Once the pectin bag is cool enough to handle, squeeze it to extract any residual pectin into a bowl. Add any reserved pectin, the orange & lemon juices and the sugar to the juice/peel mixture. Place the cardamom seeds in a few layers of cheesecloth and into the pot.
- Return to heat and bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring occasionally for approximately 30 minutes. Cook until the temperature reaches 220F on a candy thermometer, being careful not to over cook. To test for doneness. Place a few small plates in the freezer and as the temperature gets close, place a tsp of jam onto the plate, place the plate back in the freezer for 30 secs to a minute, if it sets up without running all over it's done.
- Remove cardamom pods. Ladle marmalade in sterilized jars (I place mine in a 200F oven for 10 minutes to sterilize) and boil in a hot water canner for 5 minutes.

Clearing Mines to Save Lives
Landmines are easy to lay, but far harder to clear. Once in the ground, they threaten human lives and livelihoods when people cannot use contaminated land. Azerbaijan is one of many countries struggling to clean up landmines in the wake of a conflict. Its mine problem goes back nearly a quarter of a century to the 1988 clash with Armenia over the autonomous region of Nagorno Karabakh.
- Since 1999, ANAMA has cleared nearly 186 square kilometres of land, in the process destroying over 665,000 mines and other explosive weapons.
- More than 160,000 people displaced by conflict have been resettled.
- Mine risk education programmes reach over 50,000 children in schools.
- ANAMA has supported other countries with their national mine action programmes.
- Clearance priorities are directly linked to people's ability to reuse land or find employment.
In 1998, the Government called on UNDP for assistance in establishing the Azerbaijan National Agency for Mine Action (ANAMA) as a non-military agency mandated to conduct humanitarian demining, focusing on areas posing the greatest threats to human safety and livelihoods. UNDP brought in international experts to train ANAMA staff on all aspects of mine action—such as carrying out surveys to identify mine locations, removing explosives and supporting survivors of accidents. Initially, it also helped mobilize resources and broker international partnerships to support the agency; by 2003, it was ready to assume this role itself. By 2004, ANAMA was operating primarily using the expertise of its own staff.
UNDP's support to ANAMA has consistently emphasized the socio-economic impacts of demining. Mine risk education programmes reach over 50,000 children in schools. The ministries of health and labour assist survivors of mine accidents with medical care and physical rehabilitation programmes. ANAMA manages a micro-credit initiative to improve the livelihoods of victims and their families, and oversees efforts such as carpet-weaving workshops that develop new skills.
Clearance priorities are directly linked to people's ability to reuse land or find employment. In the Alkhanli region, for instance, decontaminating the banks of a local river has allowed farmers to once more draw its water for their crops. Irrigation has been extended to 250 hectares of cultivated lands that produce 500 tons of grain each year.
UNDP has stood by Azerbaijan's efforts to build its own national institution, recognizing that mine action may continue for decades. ANAMA has grown from a fledgling organization to one fully equipped to clear mines, provide risk education and assist survivors of accidents. Since 1999, ANAMA has cleared and certified as safe nearly 186 square kilometres of land, in the process destroying over 665,000 mines and other explosive weapons. More than 160,000 people displaced by the conflict have been resettled as a result.
Fakhraddin Maharramov, a resident of Zobcug village, lived in a camp for displaced people until clearance meant he could safely return to his land. He says, "We are happy to be back and work on our fields without fear."
Today, Azerbaijan interacts with a variety of international institutions involved in mine action, facilitating a two-way exchange of knowledge on successful practices. ANAMA has also begun supporting other countries with their national mine action programmes, such as Georgia, Turkey and Afghanistan. Given that dozens of countries still need to rid themselves of mines, Azerbaijan's success within its own borders should be widely shared.

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (UK - BD)
Click here to read Chris' review of the first instalment of Lucas' space saga...
It all starts here, with the (chronologically) first instalment of George Lucas' space saga. Given the massive hype surrounding the release of The Phantom Menace there can't be many people out there who aren't at least partially familiar with the film, but here's a brief synopsis just in case you're too young to remember or have been living in a hut on Dagobah for the last decade.
The credits outline the basic plot: the taxation of trade routes is in question and the greedy Trade Federation has set up a blockade around the peaceful planet of Naboo, prompting the Supreme Chancellor of the Galactic Senate to dispatch two of his ambassadors to resolve the dispute. Upon arriving on the Federation ship the ambassadors are swiftly identified as Jedi Knights, the guardians of peace and justice throughout the galaxy for countless generations. Unfortunately the Federation has no intention of negotiating and sends battle droids to kill the Jedi. After an intense battle the Jedi retreat, only to discover an entire invasion army poised to attack Naboo. Stowing away on a Federation landing craft they head to the planet to seek out Naboo's young queen, Amidala, who is sure to come under fire from the Federation.
The ensuing adventure takes the viewer on a journey to many fantastical locations throughout the galaxy, introducing you to many weird and wonderful characters along the way. Chief among these are the Gungan Jar Jar Binks - an annoyingly clumsy amphibian who causes trouble wherever he goes - and a young slave boy named Anakin. Anakin is very strong in the Force - the mystical energy field that binds all living things - and is able to assist the Jedi in their quest to foil the Trade Federation and restore order to the galaxy. Old enemies also return in the shape of the Sith, practitioners of the dark side of the Force who thirst for galactic conquest and theaten the very existence of the Jedi Order.
The Phantom Menace was released in the summer of 1999 to extraordinarily high public expectation, but it wasn't long before this turned to widespread public indifference. The years of anticipation that preceded its release had hyped the film to such an extent that disappointment was almost inevitable. A number of controversial characters and plot developments didn't help matters, but the film did become the second highest grossing movie of all time behind Titanic so someone must have been paying to see it.
Prior to this Blu-ray viewing I hadn't watched the film in a long time, largely because it's probably the weakest entry in the series. In fact I'd go as far as to say that it has some fairly major flaws. The biggest problem I have with the film is the reliance on slaptick and toilet humour. The original trilogy had comedic moments but these were largely free of the immaturity that plagues The Phantom Menace. The antics of CGI creation Jar Jar Binks are downright annoying here, which is something that even George Lucas himself appeared to acknowledge by reducing his screen time significantly in the next two instalments. If only they'd toned the character down just a little he would have been a tolerable addition to the cast in the mould of R2-D2 or C-3PO. I had hoped that these elments would be more bearable after years away from the film, but if anything they're even more annoying.
Pacing is also an issue, with a number of scenes that are far too protracted for my liking. The pod race, much of the Gungan stuff, the talkie political elements... all seem to drag on forever and there's a real slump in the middle of the film. However, to be fair to Lucas he did warn us many years before work commenced on the prequel trilogy that the new films were going to be more about political intrigue than all-out space battles. The The Phantom Menace is really all about the beginning of the Emperor's rise to power; it's a scene setting film, one that had to be made in order get from point A to point B as it were. I just wish the journey had been a little more exciting at times.
My final moan relates to the acting, some of which is so wooden I almost felt the need to coat the TV in creosote. Granted the original trilogy wasn't Shakespeare, but some of the dialogue and delivery in this film are downright cringe worthy. The much-maligned Jar Jar Binks is a heavy offender - with much of his dialogue being either incomprehensible or just down right irritating - and Jake Lloyd (who plays the young Anakin) puts in a performance that pretty much guaranteed he'd wouldn't have a film career after Star Wars. Although I don't like to rip on child actors Jake Lloyd earns his 'Mannequin Skywalker' moniker and I can't help but feel that the prequels would have benefitted from making Anakin closer to the age Luke was in ANH. The symmetry between he trilogies would have been a nice touch and it would also have made the inevitable romance with Padme (spoilers!) more believable. Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi) looks a tad bored with the whole affair, but perhaps this is because he has little to do until the final act of the film. His imitation of Alec Guinness is pretty good though. Natalie Portman is also a marginalised and struggles under the weight of her elaborate costumes and necessarily stilted delivery.
Anyway enough of this fault-finding, let's talk about some of the positives. While the standard of acting is variable overall both Liam Neeson and Ian McDiarmid deliver pretty decent performances considering the material. However, the undoubted star is the man with the fewest lines of all - Ray Park as the dark side apprentice Darth Maul is the absolute show-stealer. His portrayal of the Sith Lord is intense, exciting and leaves you wanting much more. With just a look he is able to convey the pure evil in Maul's heart as he wields his deadly dual-bladed lightsaber against the Jedi in the final show-stopping confrontation. It's just a pity that Lucas killed him off.
On the whole the special effects are also good, especially when measured against the computer effects of the time. The integration of CGI characters with live action actors is generally believable (at least as far as any such interaction is), although oddly for a character with so much screen time Jar Jar is sadly the least convincing member of his race. However, the battle droids that make up the bulk of the film's cannon fodder look great, as do all of the various spaceships, vehicles and technology found throughout the film. As ever it is John Williams' sensational score that sticks with you long after the closing credits, particularly the magnificent 'Duel of the Fates', which has to rank as one of the finest pieces in the entire saga. Speaking of 'Duel of the Fates', that particular piece of music accompanies what is possibly the best lightsaber duel in the whole saga. In fact The Phantom Menace contains a number of thrilling lightsaber battles that feel more energitic than anything that came before or after.
The version of the film presented on this disc is the third iteration of the film, with changes over and above those found on the 2001 DVD release. These range from subtle things like a new Jedi super-speed effect and a better looking viewscreen, to very obvious changes like the replacement of the freaky looking Yoda puppet with a CGI variant. This is actually a really positive addition to the film and provides continuity between the prequels (and to a lesser extent all six films). But enough of me rambling on. I'm sure you all have pretty strong opinions about the film one way or another and are really here to discover how well it has translated to Blu-ray, so let's crack on with the technical appraisal.
It might come as a surprise, but The Phantom Menace was the film I was most eager to revisit with this Blu-ray release. Unlike the other prequels The Phantom Menace was shot on 35mm film and I was quietly confident that the Blu-ray would finally do it justice on a home format. Years ago my less critical eyes actually thought the DVD release of the film was okay, but as time has passed and I've become more familiar with various visual deficiencies it's now painful to watch. The transfer is terribly grainy, in a clumpy, unattractive way, and there is a ton of edge enhancement (even more so on the R1 release). The colour timing is really off, with the pervading pink tint that makes the whole film look odd, and it's also very soft and mushy with little in the way of fine detail. As for the film artefacts, oh dear... Of course it's an ageing DVD so judging it by today's standards isn't entirely fair, but even HDTV broadcasts of the film have left a lot to be desired in my experience.
In light of the above issues you can imagine my excitement when I learned that the film had been restored for this Blu-ray release. Unfortunately the results aren't quite what I was hoping for, but thankfully the positives are actually fairly numerous. One thing that becomes apparent relatively early on is that this 2.35:1 widescreen (1080/24p AVC) transfer has been opened up somewhat to reveal more of the image than any previous home video or TV version. I say relatively early on as the opening scenes actually display less information, but after about five minutes the frame opens up and remains that way for the majority of the picture. The other thing you'll notice is that most of the distracting heavy grain has been eliminated, which brings it in line with the other prequels visually. Although the anamorphic photography ensures a soft overall look there are plenty of shots that exhibit detail far beyond that of the DVD. Colour has also been much improved from the standard-definition offering, with the ugly pink tint banished to the Great Pit of Carkoon where it belongs. Blue skies are now just that, instead of some horrid reddish colour, and numerous scenes have been retimed for added visual impact. Best of all the horrendous edge enhancement that plagued previous releases has been all-but eliminated.
Sounds good so far, right? Yes, but unfortunately there are still a number of visual inconstancies and problems that prevent this from being a great transfer. While the aforementioned softness appears to be inherent to the filmed source the new, cleaner look appears to have been accomplished by way of filtering. DNR has almost certainly been applied, often in very liberal doses, eradicating detail and turning some shots into waxy affairs. It's never as bad as the very worst offenders, but it's still excessive at times. While the altered colour timing is generally a boon some scenes look oversaturated, and the current trend of contrast boosting occasionally results in black crush and blooming. It's a real pity, because without these entirely avoidable problems this could have been a fantastic transfer. As it stands it's merely a good effort, insomuch as it's the best looking version of the film available by quite some margin even with the aforementioned flaws. Those with smaller screens or those less obsessed with visual imperfections will likely find this to be a very pleasing image, and even I have to admit that parts of the film look wonderful, hence the score.
Whatever the reservations I have about the visual quality of the film they don't carry over to the aural elements. To put it simply, The Phantom Menace sounds sensational on Blu-ray. I remember being impressed by the Dolby Digital 5.1 EX track on the UK DVD release all those years ago, but the Blu-ray's DTS-HD Master Audio 6.1 track is better in every respect.
As the sounds of John Williams' iconic opening title music fade the distant rumble of a Republic cruiser can be heard before the camera pans down to the ship and the noise of the engines gets even louder as it passes by. The use of the surround channels during this sequence is excellent, with the ship seemingly flying right over your head! The opening skirmish with the battle droids is also a sonic delight, with blaster bolts whizzing around the soundstage as the hum of lightsabers cutting through air and steel is heard. The lightsabers themselves are worthy of special mention as they've really been beefed up since the DVD release, adding a different dimension to the duels. You can almost feel the crackling energy as the blades meet and the distinctive hum is now more of a roar. This is particularly true of Darth Maul's dual-bladed saber, which sounds like a laser-powered chainsaw!
The Jedi's arrival on Naboo (just before they meet Jar Jar) also sticks in the mind, as the native wildlife stampedes across the soundstage as it flees the Trade Federation troop carriers, which themselves make a thunderous noise as they traverse the landscape. The climactic battle on four fronts is absolutely fantastic, with the juxtaposition between the ground-based warfare, orbital dogfights and and lightsaber duel making for a thrilling experience. In fact there is always something going on in this mix, be it all out action as described above or more subtle ambient effects like those found in the forests of Naboo and the underwater city of Otoh Gunga, or the bustling streets of Mos Espa and overcrowded skies of Coruscant. These gentler moments are really atmospheric and what sets the Star Wars universe apart from lesser sci-fi franchises sonically.
The clarity of the effects is much improved over the DVD release, with the greater dynamic range afforded by the lossless audio really paying off. The low frequency effects now pack quite a punch in everything from the aforementioned lightsaber duels to podracer engines and the myriad explosions. Dialogue is also perfectly balanced in the mix, never once becoming buried under the constant assault of the effects. I was also happy with the relative volume of John Williams' music, which I had feared would be marginalised in favour of the more bombastic elements of the soundtrack. Thankfully it's present and correct for the whole of the runtime, serving up one delightful piece of music after another. From the chilling, creepy music that signifies the presence of the Sith to Anakin's whimsical theme and beyond, its is great stuff and my favourite of the prequel scores. This really is a fantastic soundtrack that goes a long way towards compensating for some of the visual shortcomings.
The only disc-specific extras are a pair of audio commentaries. The first is the old DVD track featuring George Lucas, Rick McCallum and others production staff. It makes for generally interesting listening, with each participant giving their perspective on the production, although it does tend to focus on the technical aspects of the production rather than story elements. Lucas is his usual monotonous self, but thankfully the others are livelier as they prevented me from falling asleep! It would have been nice to hear the reasoning behind some of the plot decisions.
The second commentary is one of those patchwork efforts stitched together from various interviews with cast and crew. Pretty much all of the major players are here, from Liam Neeson and Ewan McGregor, to Natalie Portman and Ian McDiarmid. Even Ray Park and Jake Lloyd get a look in. It's a bit of a disjointed affair but there actually a lot of interesting information to be gleaned from it and it's always nice to hear some of the lesser-known actors' thoughts.
There are no other extras on the disc, but additional content relating to The Phantom Menace can be found on disc seven of the nine included in the 'Saga' set. You can find details of those extras by returning to the main page that brought you to this review, or by clicking here.
For my money this is definitely the worst of the Star Wars films. Time hasn't been particularly kind to it and what was clunky and annoying in 1999 is still clunky and annoying in 2011. With that said, for once Lucas' additions are positive ones, particularly CGI Yoda. While I was slightly disappointed that the transfer traded one set of visual problems for another I have to concede that it's still the best the film has looked on a home format. The audio is absolutely top-notch however, which comes as no surprise given that it was the most impressive aspect of the ageing DVD. Dedicated extras are not particularly impressive but there is more content to be found on the prequel bonus disc (which is covered in the review of the 'Saga' boxed set). All things considered I'm relatively happy with what we have here, even if I know it could have been better.

Top 20 stories of 2012 — #18
# 18 Pingree couple grand marshals
BLACKFOOT - The Eastern Idaho State Fair's board of directors named Gary and Muriel Judge of Pingree as grand marshals of the 2012 Eastern Idaho State Fair. They led the annual Fair Parade down Shilling Avenue.
"Gary and Muriel are no strangers to the Eastern Idaho State Fair and I can't think of two more deserving people to represent us this year as grand marshals," said George Hamilton, president of the EISF Board. "Their lifelong contributions to Eastern Idaho's agriculture community and to this Fair have been outstanding. I can't remember a Fair without them."
For decades, both Gary and Muriel have been actively involved in numerous aspects of the Fair. For 33 years, Gary was the swine superintendent, a position from which he retired in 2011. The Fair has been a part of Gary's life since he was eight years old as a 4-H youth exhibitor.
In the 52 years since, he has missed the Eastern Idaho State Fair only three times, when he was away in college.
As swine superintendent, Gary was been involved with the 4-H Market Hog Sale, ensuring delivery of the hogs and overall floor responsibility.
Through the years, he and Muriel have continued to exhibit products from their 300-acre farm, including swine and malt barley.
He has helped the agriculture exhibit areas by laying the grain sheaves.
"It is a real honor for Muriel and me to represent the Fair as grand marshals. I look forward to seeing the parade this year since I won't be responsible for the pigs as I've always been in years past," said Gary. "Every year, I enjoy the Dutch Oven cooking barbeque dinner at the Fair, so I'm looking forward to that, as well."
Outside of the Fair, Gary is former president of the Southeast Idaho Pork Producers Association. In 1986, he was recognized as Idaho's up-and-coming pork producer and represented the state of Idaho at the National Pork Producers Council.
For 43 years, Gary served as a 4-H leader in his community, including president and secretary of the 4-H Bingham County Council; Muriel also has served in 4-H leadership for 29 years. He also is president of the Bingham County Farm Bureau.
Originally from Coeur d'Alene, Muriel first experienced the Fair in 1974, soon after she and Gary were married. Muriel began exhibiting swine alongside Gary, and she later exhibited in the quilting and baking categories.
As a substitute teacher with an interest in educating children, Muriel has brought "fun" to the swine department. For youth, she created an educational packet with pork-related games and activities designed to teach kids about the pork industry. Alongside Gary, Muriel has been responsible for the swine department's bookkeeping; each year, fairgoers and exhibitors enjoy her signature "Pig Sugar Cookies," which she bakes from a favorite recipe.
"It's such an honor for us to represent Eastern Idaho in being the grand marshals," said Muriel.
#19 Charter high school coming
By Leslie Mielke
BLACKFOOT - The corner of Riverside Plaza has been home to the Plaza Twin Theater, Bradbury College, the Blackfoot Bookstore and before that, sports cards were traded there.
Coming Fall 2013, plans are for a new charter school, Bingham Academy , to fill the corner space at Riverside Plaza.
Fred Ball, project director for the charter high school and administrator of the Blackfoot Charter Community Learning Center, said the board has received authorization from the Idaho Public Charter School Commission.
The proposed Bingham Academy would be a four-year high school with an emphasis on college and career readiness.
Greg Sigerson, chair of the Bingham Academy Founding Board, acknowledged the $199,680 check presented to Bingham Academy on Nov. 30. This three-year start grant was awarded through the Charter School Program of the U.S. Department of Education. For three years, Bingham Academy will receive this amount of money on the condition that the charter high school is approved.
Bingham Academy is the only school in Idaho to ever receive a direct federal start-up grant. It hopes to open its doors next fall.
"This is a strong indication of the solid organization and quality we will offer in our curriculum," said Sigerson.
"We are in the final stage of presenting our petition to the idaho Public Charter School Commission for approval," he said. "This approval is necessary in order to secure the grant."
Money from the start-up grant can only be used for software, computers and curriculum needs, said board member Pat Kolbet.
The start-up grant will also support the administrator's salary for his/her first year.
Kolbet wrote the application for this grant.
"I scan the federal register every few days for every grant I can find," she said.
Nearly 700 schools across the U.S. applied for this grant, Kolbet said.
All eligibility requirements were met by 68 schools but only 18 schools in seven states received these grants. Six schools were in Oregon; Bingham Academy was the only school in Idaho to receive this grant.
An additional $200,000 grant is available from the J.A. and Kathryn Albertson Foundation once the charter is authorized.
Plans are to lease space in the Riverside Plaza and to renovate the 17,000 square foot space into classrooms, locker space and a small gymnasium.
Zac Fillmore of MBA Construction in Blackfoot will be in charge of renovation.
Speaking of the need for a charter high school, Sigerson said, "I'm really doing this for my son, who is a second grader. "He is in a charter school now and I love the interaction the teachers have with my son, my wife and me."
Brian and Angelina Thelin were two people who worked to bring in a charter school to Blackfoot.
"We started this project because I know enough people who needed it," said Angelina Thelin.
"Parents deserve a choice," said Brian Thelin. "One size does not fit all."
#20 Truck crash awakens citizens
By BOB HUDSON
and LESLIE MIELKE
BLACKFOOT — Don Dewey and his wife Charlene live near exit 93 off Interstate 15.
About 2 a.m. on Oct. 3 they were awakened by two explosions.
"We thought the Sinclair had blown up," Don said. "We thought one of their tanks had blown."
The Deweys live about one block from the Snake River Sinclair station on U.S. Highway 26.
Don got up and made his way to Anytime Fitness where he and others watched the fire caused when two semi-trucks collided. He said several people working out at the gym had to have witnessed the explosion.
Eyewitness Alisa Coles works the midnight to 8 a.m. shift at Motel 6. She called 911 after she heard the crash and saw the explosion.
"I happened to be standing by a window when I heard a crash," Coles said. "About 30 seconds later, there was an explosion.
"It was pretty big," she said. "I backed away from the window in fear it might break."
There were three fires, Coles said. The semi-truck cab was on fire. There was a fire on the embankment and the third fire looked like debris from the two semis.
"The driver who was hit, George, was brought to the motel," she said. "ISP paid for a room for him for the night.
"The other driver was taken to the hospital with minor injuries," Coles said.
"George said if the driver had come by five or 10 seconds later he would have been dead because he was walking alongside his truck," she said. "He said he saw the semi hit his truck and then side- swiped the length of the trailer.
"The driver had 30 seconds to jump out," she said. "When he was jumping out of the truck is when his truck exploded.
"It was a scary sight to see," said Coles.
The ISP report indicated that George Riedel, 57, of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, had stopped on the shoulder of the interstate to check a flat tire. While he was calling for help, another semi, driven by Peter Spicer of Pocatello, rear-ended Riedel's truck.
Spicer's truck then tipped over onto the side of the road and both semis caught fire.
Spicer was taken to Bingham Memorial Hospital.
According to the Idaho State Police report, troopers and other emergency personnel responded to the fire which blocked the northbound lanes of the interstate. Those loans were closed and with traffic flowed through Blackfoot much of the day.
Blackfoot Fire Department and EMS personnel assisted ISP. at the scene and Idaho Transportation Department officials were involved in the crash investigation.

BMW X4 Concept Unveiled in Shanghai
- Fastback, 5-door design reminiscent of BMW X6
- Styling cues from the upcoming 4 Series Coupe
- Production model launch scheduled for 2014
BMW chose the Shanghai Auto Show to debut their latest concept, a crossover that the company calls its second "Sports Activity Coupe." The BMW X4 Concept is not a two-door as that name implies, and it's not quite an SUV either. The X4 blurs those lines much as the BMW X6, another model that BMW categorizes as a Sports Activity Coupe, does. But the X4 is more compact and shares styling cues with the upcoming 4 Series.
The 4 Series debuted earlier this year at the Detroit Auto Show and replaces the 3 Series Coupe. BMW expects the popular coupe to arrive for sale later this year. For drivers that like the coupe's look but need more practicality, the X4 Concept is scheduled to arrive as a production model in 2014.
The X4 is not a coupe in the traditional sense; it's more like a 5-door hatchback. In fact, its body type is very similar to that of the X6: SUV-like, but with a fastback design instead of a squared-off rear end. It's decidedly sporty, but may not offer the practicality of the more conventional X3, which has a wheelbase and overall length that's identical to the X4 Concept's. BMW did not provide details on the X4's passenger and cargo space, instead focusing on exterior design.
Aside from its overall shape and proportions, the X4 is stacked with performance design cues. The front end features BMW's signature kidney grille flanked by full LED headlights. Below, the lower grille features side air intakes similar to those on some of BMW's high-performance M models. Big, 21-inch wheels and contrasting wheel arches and sills suggest rugged capability. At the rear, integrated dual exhausts, LED taillights and an underbody panel with metallic accents complete the look.
With the addition of the X4 next year, the German automaker will have no fewer than five so-called "Sports Activity Vehicle" models. Three of those -- the X3, X5, and X6 -- are built in the U.S. at BMW's Spartanburg, South Carolina plant. The production version of the X4 will also be U.S.-built in Spartanburg. We'll provide more details on the X4's features, pricing and fuel economy as that date approaches and specifications are available.
What it means to you: Like the ride and capability of an SUV, but with a distinctive, coupe-like appearance? The upcoming BMW X4 may be the vehicle you're looking for, but you'll have to wait. It's scheduled to arrive in 2014.

The idea of capturing fleeting moments, whether they are human elements or the solitude of the natural world has always resonated deeply within me. A feeling or quality of light can only last so long before the harmony changes and something is new again. So it has been my interest to look past the literal and share my emotions through these images. I can't deny there is beauty all around us even in the most depleted and haggard areas of the city streets, there is something to be created or admired anywhere. Photography has been the building block in my visual life, it has inspired me to explore different art forms and appreciate the ever-evolving landscape. With accomplishments in music, cinematography and graphic design, making a strong photograph is above all when it comes to the passion I feel a connection with the most. For the last 12 years I have had the pleasure of studying my attachment to this planet through the lens. There has always been a need to understand nature, with understanding comes progression in the craft and progression offers these visual gifts as my thanks. By simply paying attention, it can be the greatest show on earth and that is something that should be preserved.TO INQUIRE ABOUT PRINTS, EMAIL: firstname.lastname@example.com

EAGLE POINT — At 13 feet deep and well over an acre in size, one of Gary Harrington's three illegal reservoirs off Crowfoot Road looks more like a private playground than a rain-fed, backyard fire pond.
A fishing dock lined with rods and rod holders is tethered to shore near an outdoor barbecue. Boats line the bank. A fish feeder floats nearby, dispensing food to the illegally stocked largemouth bass Harrington says he bought from a Medford pet store.
It's a place where family and friends spend hot summer days and where wildfire rigs can hook up to a water line any time they need a refill, free of charge.
"The fish and the docks are icing on the cake," says Harrington, 63. "It's totally committed to fire suppression."
It's a story state police and water managers have heard for more than a decade and still consider irrelevant. Ditto for state courts that three times over an 11-year span have convicted Harrington of illegally storing water without a permit. On Wednesday, Harrington must report to the Jackson County Jail for a 30-day sentence for his latest conviction.
Jackson County Circuit Judge Timothy Gerking last month ordered Harrington to drain the ponds, breach the dams built to create them and pay $1,500 in fines.
But Harrington's not budging, and he's undergoing a series of gyrations to keep the ponds and dams intact.
Now 0-for-3 in the court system, Harrington is taking his case to the court of public opinion to gather property-rights sympathies as simply a landowner capturing the rain that falls on his land.
To state officials, Harrington is a serial water thief. To supporters, he's "Rain Man," a poster boy for those who believe government is overstepping its bounds.
He's done about two-dozen radio and television appearances since his July 25 sentencing, all carefully screened to ensure his property-rights message gets across.
"We're controlling what's being said, so we get the facts out there," says Dominic Nutter, who calls himself a legal researcher and not a lawyer who is advising Harrington and screening his media requests. "We're trying to make sure people understand what their rights are."
Water resources officials say his rights are clear: He cannot store water without a permit, and he does not have a permit.
The law exempts water collected off parking lots or rooftops and funneled into rain barrels, water resources officials say. If it's not gathered on an artificial, impervious surface, such as a rooftop, then you need a state water-right permit to collect it.
That's way different than the roughly 40 acre-feet of water — enough to fill 20 Olympic-sized swimming pools — Harrington illegally captures without a water right behind dams as much as 20 feet tall that he built without permits, state officials say.
"Mr. Harrington has operated these three reservoirs in flagrant violation of Oregon law for more than a decade," Oregon Water Resources Department Deputy Director Tom Paul says.
"What we're after is compliance with Oregon water law, regardless of what the public thinks of Mr. Harrington," Paul says.
Harrington said he has appealed his conviction to the Oregon Court of Appeals and has asked the Oregon Supreme Court to step in and keep Gerking's rulings from being enforced during his appeal.
On July 18, a week after his conviction and a week before his sentencing, Harrington deeded four tax lots that include the three ponds for $4 to the Farm of the Family Health and Recreation Association. Harrington calls it a "private member association" he set up on June 1 that includes Harrington and select friends and family.
Nutter says the ponds now belong to the association, which has no legal beef with water resources managers.
"The crime follows Gary, not the properties," Nutter says.
Because Harrington was issued three years of bench probation that includes conditions that he drain the reservoirs and breach the dams, those conditions still apply, says Kate Medema, a state Department of Justice spokeswoman.
"If he says he has no authority to do so in light of these deeds, we'll probably end up back in court," Medema says. "We expect Mr. Harrington to follow the conditions of his probation."
Harrington has argued in court filings that neither he nor any Oregonian is beholden to the water resources department because its members failed to take and file the proper oaths of office Harrington claims are required by the Oregon Constitution.
Gerking ruled against Harrington's claim.
"Mr. Harrington misinterpreted the state and federal constitutions and his reading of them is overly broad," Medema says. "His reading would, essentially, require every state employee to take an oath of office."
Harrington has posted signs on his properties warning any state officers to stay off his property, citing protections under the First and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution.
Sine Harrington's sentencing, state water-resources officials have attempted to gain access to his property to see whether Harrington has complied with the judge's order, but were denied, Paul says.
"I think the court is going to look to us to enforce the judge's order," Paul says.
Water resources officials further discussed the case last week with Patrick Flanagan, the Department of Justice prosecutor who handled the most recent case, Paul says. Paul declined to discuss the nature of those discussions.
Between radio and television appearances last week, Harrington set up a website with links to interviews on Fox News Channel's "Fox and Friends" and other media outlets. Fox News is owned by News Corp., which also owns the Mail Tribune and Ashland Daily Tidings.
The website, www.empoweringthejury.org, includes a petition to the state of Oregon to reverse Harrington's July 11 guilty verdict.
Harrington has solicited a videographer to film footage showing that his reservoirs don't have creeks flowing into them. He intends to post it and other information about his defense that he wasn't allowed to present in court, he says.
Frustrated water managers are unimpressed.
"We've been working on this about 10 years," Paul says. "We very much support what the court did."
As the water drama continues to play out, Harrington relishes his Rain Man role in what he and his supporters couch as one little guy's fight against big government.
"I guess I'm not surprised," Harrington says. "I realized a while ago that this is a fight worth fighting."

Saturday afternoon in a 4-1 win over UAB at the Alabama Softball Complex in the first game of the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional Tucker led all batters with three hits, including a double to left field, the first hit of the game.
It was her fifth straight game in postseason to get a hit, going back to the Atlantic Sun Tournament last week. Saturday afternoon the Lady Bisons, 49-11, face Alabama, the No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament at 1:30. If the Lady Bisons are going to challenge the Crimson Tide, 49-9, they will be counting on players like Tucker to come through for them.
"I can't say enough about the boost Mac gave us right off the bat with the double to left in the first inning," Lady Bisons coach Kristin Ryman said. "It definitely calmed everybody a little bit.
"Mac is a very smart player. She understands the game extremely well. On the biggest stage today she stood out big time. She is in a zone right now hitting –wise and it is perfect timing."
One of the keys for Tucker was being able to mentally block out the Alabama surroundings and concentrate on her work in the field and at the plate.
"I thought back to when we played UAB on our home field," Tucker said. "I pictured us at Lipscomb on our home field without all of this Alabama stuff around. I was able to stay focused, and if I am focused I am able to hit the ball.
"I go up to the plate with confidence in what is working for me. If the slap is working then I am going to slap. If my hitting is working I am going to hit. I go with what I feel comfortable with at the time."
All of the Lady Bisons will have to find a way to ignore sea of red that fills the stadium. Ryman found the crowd of more than 2,200 fans, and the atmosphere their cheers and shouts produced, to be an exciting back drop.
"I think it is a pretty neat thing to be able to play in front of such a big crowd," Ryman said. "Obviously, it is a biased crowd. They are here to support their team.
"But I think anytime you can play in an environment like this it is exciting. We don't have the opportunity to do that very often so to do it, regardless of where it is, is a pretty cool thing."
Kiihnl getting attention: Both the players from other teams and the media are taking notice of Lady Bisons pitcher Whitney Kiihnl. "Obviously, their pitcher is very talented," Alabama shortstop Whitney Larson said. "Her numbers say a lot about her skills. If we stay disciplined at the plate and our game, then we'll be fine."
The Crimson Tide beat Alcorn State Friday night 9-0 in five innings. Alabama had nine hits, led by second baseman Kayla Braud with three hits and four runs batted in. One of her hits was a three-run homer.
Kiihnl knows the talent level of the Crimson Tide, but she is taking it all in stride. She would like to maintain her earned run average, the best in the nation.
"Alabama is one of the best hitting teams in the nation, if not the best," Kiihnl said. "I'm going to have to be very confident and just throw my game.
"If they hit it, they hit it. If they don't, they don't. That's the way it goes."
Kiihnl has won a number of awards this season, but she remains humble. Ryman knows she doesn't have to worry about Kiihnl every becoming over-confident.
"Whitney never walks out on the mound thinking she is going to dominate," Ryman said. "She walks out and goes about her business and lets it happen."

Last week, country music -- indeed, the world of music overall -- lost a giant in George Jones, who died Friday morning in Nashville at the age of 81.
But Tuesday brings happier news: the 80th birthday of another one of country's kings, Willie Nelson.
Actually, Nelson (whose many duets include his and Jones' delightful take on "I Gotta Get Drunk") says he became an octagenerian on Monday, though hospital records reportedly list his birthdate as April 30.
PHOTOS: Iconic rock guitars and their owners
In any case, the man whose career stretches over a half-century -- as not only a singer and songwriter, but an actor, activist and income tax scofflaw -- is hardly easing up with age.
Earlier this month Nelson released a new studio album, "Let's Face the Music and Dance," with characteristically charming renditions of standards such as the title track and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home." It's his second disc in less than a year, following last May's "Heroes."
And, of course, Nelson is on the road (again). According to his website, he's scheduled to play a gig Tuesday night in Estero, Fla., just ahead of his appearance this weekend at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival.
In August he'll play two nights at the Hollywood Bowl with fellow Texas native Lyle Lovett, one of the countless artists Nelson has inspired.
Watch a video of Nelson performing "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" below, and be thankful that we haven't had to follow the song's instructions just yet.

Processing of artifact in electrically evoked action potentials
Suche in Medline nach
|31. Mai 2005
Electrically evoked compound action potentials (ECAP) are strongly affected by stimulation artifact. In this study we analyze and compare different methods to process the stimulation artifact affecting the electrically evoked compound action potentials.
Materials and Methods
The methods for artifact processing considered are based on (1) the use of masked responses to subtract the artifact to the contaminated response; (2) the use of a tri-phase stimulus in order to control the transitory to the electrical perturbation in the vicinity of the stimulation electrode; and (3) the application of numerical methods to compensate for the stimulation artifact. In this analysis we include ECAP recordings from 5 patients implanted with a MED-EL Pulsar device. The responses were recorded by means of the auditory response telemetry incorporated in this cochlear implant.
Even though the masking method sometimes provides appropriate cancellation of the artifact, since the artifact for a couple of stimuli is different to that for a single stimulus, sometimes the artifact is not appropriately cancelled and a false ECAP response appears. The use of tri-phase stimulus provides a more appropriate cancellation of the artifact because the electrical perturbation after the stimulation can be reduced with an appropriate configuration of this stimulus. This procedure does not produce false ECAP responses. Numerical methods must be carefully applied because the selection of an improper function to fit the response results in false ECAPs.
Tri-phase stimuli is a promising method for artifact cancellation in electrically evoked compound action potentials.

Shout out to @derekhuether for letting us know. We didn't even know such a thing existed.
So what does this mean to be the "Most Influential Project Manager?"
We have no clue…
But we hope that it means that we're providing value to the community.
Let us tell you though what we have been doing and maybe that can help you out to bringing your message to the community.
We do tons of reconnoissance, or recon:
- Blogging – At least once a day (sometimes twice).
- Reading – We burn through our FeedBurner like no ones business and comment and retweet awesome content.
- Research – We scour the web for newest news from some of the best sources out there: Agile Practitioners (Not arm-chair theorists).
- Conversate – We meet up with tweeps, go to conferences, and local meet ups. We bring the online content to life by meeting with the people who practice Agile.
- We have fun – We love what we do. Sometimes you get recognized for loving your profession!
- Conferences – Yep. Go to them. Like the PW&WCBA Conference that Agile Scout is the premier blogger for.
Let us know if there is anything we can do to bring Agile to the masses and make information on Agile more accessible to all. Maybe that person is you.
*Edit: We queued this post up a week ago. Looks like we've been bumped off of first!


text: Since it launched in 1983, quality and craftsmanship have remained at the heart of the iconic American brand that is J.Crew. With its modern wardrobe heroes - think soft jersey basics, silk shirts, statement necklaces and cashmere knits - the New York-based label nails cool, off-duty design. Its trend-led collection of printed dresses also offers the perfect mix between cocktail and office appropriate to carry you through from the boardroom to the bar.
