Local photographer Jane Spencer displays her work at PAH
PUNXSUTAWNEY — A true artist is one who not only has a passion for art, but also an eye for detail.
And there are many forms of visual art, such as painting, drawing, sculpting and photography.
For Jane Spencer, her love of all things art began at a very young age.
"When I was a kid, I used to draw cartoons out of the funny pages," said Spencer.
As a teenager, she began to do still-life art, as well as oil painting.
Spencer says that once she got married, it was hard to find time to paint or draw, especially after having three children.
Once her children grew older, she started taking painting lessons with the late Reba Hamilton — an accomplished artist who taught classes in the Punxsy area.
In the 1980s, she became interested in photography, and it was while she was on a trip with her parents and sisters in Italy that she truly embraced that passion.
"I took a million pictures and found myself hooked," said Spencer.
She has been to Italy seven times and has traveled to other foreign countries, and she has "tons" of film from her many adventures.
Once the world of photography moved into the digital realm, Spencer stepped up and embraced it. Now, it has helped her create and showcase her art to a broader audience.
"Basically, I am a nature photographer. I love trees, animals, landscapes and water," said Spencer, adding that she likes to do set-ups and still-life photography.
She loves to do concept pictures — an example would be a photograph that she did of a tomato that had a bump that resembled a nose, on which she then put a salad leaf.
To many, such a practice may sound odd, but to an artist, there is no limitation on creating a work of art.
Spencer talked about working with "available light," which is a photographer's term for natural light.
She hates working with flashes and lamps, but instead chooses nature's lighting sources. If a picture is to be taken, she will either take it outside or close to a window.
In her opinion, natural light captures the photograph much better then the flash does. After she snaps her photographs, she uploads them onto Photoshop.
"With Photoshop, the picture I take becomes my palate," said Spencer, adding that once she is done with her editing, she's no longer dealing with the same picture.
For example, a picture she took of some deer in her backyard was uploaded to Photoshop, and from there, she was able to use a technique called layering and a tool that allowed for a dry brush stroking technique.
The finished project shows her photograph as a watercolor painting.
Through Photoshop, artists are able to add changes to photographs through a variety of different techniques, which helps them to capture more attention then a normal photograph would, she said.
In the late 90s, Spencer took a film correspondence course through the New York Institute of Photography.
She then joined the Punxsutawney Arts Association Inc., before it became incorporated, and she is still a member to this day.
"I joined PAAI, and that's when I began to take it more seriously, because I could now show pictures," she said.
In October 2006, she put some of her photos on a online site called shutterprint.com, and over time her collection on the site has grown to more than 600 pictures.
She has received more than 450,000 views and has sold 141 photos. One year, she even won a Mother's Day contest that was sponsored by the site.
The theme was Mother's Day, and after entering a photograph, she said she was shocked to win the first prize of $500 and a year's worth of free storage space on the site.
Though eight pieces of her artwork are currently on display at the Punxsutawney Area Hospital, Spencer has also had some of her work displayed throughout town.
Years ago her artwork could be seen throughout the Pantall Hotel, and now some of it can be found at Fairlady & Company.
One of the pieces that sits on display at Fairlady & Company is a photo of a groundhog nibbling on a dandelion leaf.
Some of her artwork has also been made into keychains.
During the Groundhog Day Art Show, Spencer had 15 pieces displayed and successfully sold a few.
Aside from photography, Spencer is also a published writer who used to write and sell short stories in the romance genre.
At the age of 32, Spencer went back to college, and at 39, she finished with a degree in psychology and sociology.
For the last 33 years, she has owned and managed the Sycamore Apartments, a job she refers to as a calling and not a career.
She loves working with people and being able to provide homes for those who don't have one.
Her passion for learning the arts still remains, as she continues to learn the new digital techniques that keep coming out.
Now, with photographers equipped with not only digital cameras, but also camera phones, the world of photography has certainly grown.
For Spencer, the educational journey has certainly been a long one, with other passions being found along the way. However, her love of photography is still her strongest, and that passion can be seen through each and every piece of her work.

Flag row 'deteriorated relations'
The deterioration in relations between nationalist and unionist politicians in Northern Ireland was sparked by a decision to limit the flying of the Union flag over Belfast City Hall, Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the IRA ceasefire, the Sinn Fein chief said Democratic Unionists and Ulster Unionists have retreated into a coalition with rejectionist unionism and loyalist paramilitaries.
Mr McGuinness said it was borne out of "anti-democratic protests" over the flag row and the refusal of unionist leaders to accept compromise and a democratic decision.
Martin McGuinness said the dispute over the flying of a Union flag over Belfast City Hall had caused a deterioration in relations
"The decision to restrict the flying the flag to designated days is, of course, a compromise position. A compromise which Sinn Fein was prepared to support," he said.
"But the unionist parties have been incapable of accepting this compromise and have railed against this democratic decision.
"And it is that failure, the failure to accept a democratic decision, the failure to work towards compromise, the rejection of dialogue and negotiations to resolve contentious issues which is now at the heart of the problems that we are facing."
Mr McGuinness challenged unionist leaders to take initiatives similar to his handshake with the Queen and involvement in royal events to improve relations between the communities.
The former IRA commander said: "I have personally tried to understand and reach out to the unionist population not least in my engagements with Queen Elizabeth.
"But reconciliation is not a one-way street. Unionist leaders need to engage in similar initiatives."
The IRA's landmark ceasefire of August 31 1994 still sharply divides opinion in Northern Ireland 20 years on.
At the time was met with victory celebrations in republican areas across the region, while unionists leaders declared the Provos had accepted they had been defeated.
In an address at the Rath Mor centre in Londonderry, Mr McGuinness called on dissident republicans to give up their struggle.
"There can be no return to the violence and repression that scarred this society for so long," he said.
The Sinn Fein chief added: "The real threat to the political institutions is stagnation and the absence of progress. The real threat is the retreat of political unionism from dialogue, compromise, agreement and reconciliation. And none of this is about abandoning sincerely held political beliefs or positions."
Reflecting on the peace process and the historic ceasefire, Mr McGuinness paid tribute to former Irish taoiseach Albert Reynolds who died just over a week ago.
He said he was set apart through his formal engagement with Sinn Fein and claimed that the Irish establishment traditionally enforced policies of isolation, censorship and repression until Mr Reynolds' time in power.
The Sinn Fein leader, joint leader of the Northern Ireland institutions with the DUP's Peter Robinson, offered a damning assessment of the breakdown in relations at Stormont over the last year.
He said Mr Robinson threatened to collapse the institutions three times in six months - over IRA on-the-runs, the contentious Orange Order parade past the nationalist Ardoyne shops in north Belfast and welfare cuts.
"The rejection of dialogue and negotiations has spread like a virus to all other issues, including those already agreed such as the development of the Maze/Long Kesh site. Similarly with welfare cuts," Mr McGuinness said.
The Northern Ireland deputy leader accused the DUP of backing an "anti-poor agenda of the Tory millionaires in London" and said it was Sinn Fein's position that cuts to welfare will hit both nationalist and unionist communities.
Mr McGuinness called for the US to reassert its influence over Northern Ireland politicians and said leaders in London and Dublin also need to promote talks on the issues of flags, parades and dealing with the past.
The historic IRA ceasefire came after years of behind the scenes talks between some leaders of the terror group and the British establishment.
It prompted a similar announcement from loyalist paramilitaries within several weeks in 1994.
The Provos returned to violence in February 1996, when it blew up London's docklands.
It called another ceasefire in July 1997 - a move that paved the way for Sinn Fein's inclusion in political negotiations that culminated in April 1998 with the signing of the historic Good Friday Agreement.
Ulster Unionist peer, Lord Empey, marked the anniversary by reiterating that the ceasefire was an acceptance by the IRA that their campaign had failed.
"At the time of the ceasefire the Ulster Unionist Party was extremely suspicious," he said.
"We assumed - based on the evidence of previous encounters between the Government and the IRA such as in 1972 - that it was probably politically driven and the product of some kind of deal.
"There was also a suspicion that the IRA was using the ceasefire as a political bargaining tool and to some extent this notion was justified when the IRA breached their ceasefire in 1996 with bomb attacks on Canary Wharf in February and Manchester in June."
Lord Empey said unionists did not appreciate the extent to which the IRA had become infiltrated by the security services.
He added: "With hindsight, the ceasefire's significance was that it represented the IRA's acceptance that their campaign had failed and they realised there was no point in continuing."

text: Hi all. I recently added a radiant heat zone for a basement bath and am planning on running it off of an existing boiler. the boiler is only being used for heating purposes and there are 2 baseboard zones in addition to the new radiant zone. The baseboard zones are wired to call for heat from a t-stat on the main floor and for a t-stat in the basement (2 seperate zones) when they call for heat the boiler fires and the main circ. pump kicks on. What I want to do is wire an additional t-stat for the radiant zone so that both the main circ. pump (and boiler) kick on as well as the radiant circ. pump independantly of the baseboard zones.....can anyone hold my hand on this one....it would be greatly appreciated.

Challenge Passes $40 Millionby Jim Amidon • May 17, 2011 Share:
Launched publicly at the end of October, the Wabash College Challenge of Excellence has surpassed $40 million, President Patrick White and campaign co-chairs Allan Anderson '65 and Ted Grossnickle '73 announced Saturday.
The three-year campaign to generate funds in support of scholarships, faculty development, international learning opportunities, and programs to enhance career preparation has a goal of $60 million.
"We're in a great position right now," said Anderson (pictured right). "We've surpassed our benchmark ahead of schedule, which tells all of us involved in the effort that our central focus with the Challenge of Excellence — Wabash students and faculty — resonates with our alumni and friends."
Almost $5 million has been raised since early November. According to Dean for Advancement Joe Emmick '92, gifts to the Challenge of Excellence have been wide-ranging.
"We announced the Challenge of Excellence in October and after just five months in a public campaign, alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and foundations have made possible a range of new endowed scholarships, four additional study abroad opportunities, a freshman tutorial summer immersion trip, equipment funds for Hays Hall, nearly 30 summer internships, and funds to ensure we attract and retain the best teachers possible. This is what makes Wabash distinct — individual alumni and their families making meaningful philanthropic gifts to support opportunities for our students and faculty."
President White (pictured left), along with campaign volunteers, has spent the spring engaging alumni in the goals of the Challenge of Excellence.
"As I have traveled around the country and talked with alumni and friends of the College, I am amazed by their depth of interest in what we're working to accomplish," said the President. "Most campaigns focus on large brick and mortar projects — buildings. Our alumni and friends realize that in this effort, we're supporting the most essential work of Wabash, and enhancing possibilities for students and faculty to reach farther and dream bigger dreams."
Grossnickle '73 said momentum is clearly on the College's side, and he credits the campaign's alumni leaders who help make the case for Wabash.
"This campaign's volunteers are doing a terrific job," Grossnickle said. "They do their homework, reach out to alumni and friends, and they represent Wabash with integrity. I'm very proud of them."
Commitments to date total $40,250,000. Much of the growth of the Challenge's total has come from significant contributions from across the alumni body, something that makes the alumni association president proud.
"All 25 board members of the National Association of Wabash Men have made significant financial commitments to the Challenge of Excellence, backing up their already-substantial commitments of time and talent," said new NAWM President Greg Castanias '87. "We wanted to lead effectively by example, in the hope that all of our alumni will rise to the same challenge."
Key commitments to the Challenge of Excellence since its public launch support all four areas of focus outlined in the Case Statement. Dean Emmick described the gifts and pledges as coming from a range or sources — individual alumni and their families, friends of the College, and foundations. Examples include:
• Gifts to the Challenge of Excellence established the William C. Placher Fund for Faculty Support, a growing $5 million fund that honors the memory of Dr. Bill Placher '70. The Fund will enable the College to enhance faculty salaries, making it more competitive in hiring and retaining excellent teachers.
• Alumnus David Kendall '66, a Rhodes Scholar and Washington, D.C. attorney, has endowed a scholarship for students from small communities like his own hometown of Sheridan, Indiana.
• A commitment to the Challenge of Excellence by a member of the Board of Trustees, who wishes to remain anonymous, provides four new study abroad opportunities each year at the University of Harlaxton in England.
• Emeritus Trustee Dudley Burgess '64, his wife, Judy, and their sons have established the Burgess Family Scholarship, which will be awarded to teacher education students in their junior and senior years.
• Private foundations have been generous to the campaign as well. A $750,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation will fund a collaborative Asian Studies Program with DePauw, and a $250,000 grant from the Arthur Vining Davis Foundations is supporting new student retention programs.
Grossnickle (pictured right) explained why he and his wife — and scores of the College's alumni and friends — are dedicated to the Challenge of Excellence.
"Marcia and I have decided to support this campaign generously because we believe in its goals, and we believe that Wabash is on the right course for the future."

Minimally invasive hip replacement is a technique used to perform
Alternative Names
Small incision total hip replacement; MIS hip surgery
To perform this surgery:
- A cut will be made in one of three places -- on the back of the hip (over the buttock), on the front of the hip (near the groin), or on the side of the hip.
- In most cases, the cut will be 3 - 6 inches long. In a regular hip replacement surgery, the cut is 10 - 12 inches long.
- The surgeon will use special instruments to work through the small cut.
- Surgery involves cutting and removing bone. The surgeon will remove some muscles and other tissues. Less tissue is removed than in regular surgery. Most of the time, muscles are not cut or detached.
This procedure uses the same type of hip replacement implants as regular surgery.
Why the Procedure Is Performed
As in regular surgery, this procedure is done to replace or repair a diseased or damaged hip joint. This technique works better for patients who are younger and thinner. Minimally invasive techniques may allow for a quicker recovery and less pain.
Talk with your surgeon about the benefits and risks. Ask if your surgeon has experience with this type of surgery.
After the Procedure
There is often lessblood loss and pain with this technique than with open surgery. People who have this surgeryoften have a shorter stay in the hospital and faster recovery. Ask your doctor if this procedure is a good choice for you.

The new SQL Server Developer Tools (previously codenamed Juneau) is designed to close the gap between relational database development and BI development. From my point of view the new Developer Tools is overdue. It never did make sense to me why I needed to do T-SQL development using SSMS but when I wanted to use Reporting Services or Integration Services I needed to use BIDS – this was especially annoying because you knew that both SSMS and BIDS were both built on top of the Visual Studio shell. A recent project that I've been working on really pointed out this problem. While working on an ASP.NET application I needed to have Visual Studio 2010 open for working on the web application, SSMS open for developing the T-SQL stored procedures and database schema, and BIDS open for developing the Reporting Services reports used by the application. Then I spent a good deal of time tabbing between the different environments. You might point out that I could have done my T-SQL development in Visual Studio but I've never liked Visual Studio for T-SQL development. There are little problems like the data types not being displayed in the explorer dialog but the main issue is a lack of visibility into the SQL Server instance.
SQL Server 2012's (formerly code-named Denali) new SQL Server Development Tools is supposed to solve a good chuck of these problems by combing the relational and T-SQL development capabilities from SSMS with the BI development features in BIDS. Don't worry both SSMS and BIDS are still present in Denali – at least as far as CTP3 goes. However, BIDS may be dropped from the final release.
My experiences with SQL Server Developer Tools were a bit disappointing. The SQL Server Developer Tools are not part of the CTP3 package itself. Instead, you have to download and install them using the slow and failure prone Web Platform Installer. The Web Platform Installer, which failed three times during the excruciatingly slow download and installation process, is a great example of how change doesn't always equate to progress. Downloading and installing an EXE or MSI file would have been 10x times faster and I would have only had to do it once.
You have the choice of installing SSDT into Visual Studio 2010 with SP1 or as a standalone tool. I opted to install it standalone. If you install it into Visual Studio, it acts like LightSwitch and it adds the BI project types in the Visual Studio shell. Standalone you still can not use it to develop SQLCLR projects. You still need Visual Studio for that.
After finally getting the SSDT installed I didn't find it under the SQL Server Denali CTP3 Start menu options like you might expect for a SQL Server tool. Instead, it was confusingly installed un the Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 menu option. You can see the new SQL Server Developer Tools IDE shown in the following figure.
From a relational T-SQL point-of-view I found SSDT a bit better than Visual Studio. The Server Explorer is more capable – but not as capable as the one in SSMS. You can see multiple databases and the Server Explorer allows you to work with server level objects like logins But you still can't do everything. For instance, the first thing I wanted to do was attach some databases and I needed SSMS for that. From a BI standpoint I found it almost identical to BIDS with the Schema Comparison option thrown in.
Next time I'll tell you about my experiences attempting to use SSDT to replace my tried and true SSMS, VS2010, BIDS combo for application development (see, "The Case to Upgrade to SQL Server Denali").

But there's more than that! The Virtual Console games can be played in black and white or Game Boy green. It's even possible to boot up the game with a virtual Game Boy boarder, giving the sensation of playing an actual Game Boy. The only thing that's missing is the Game Boy's 10 to 30 hours of battery life.

Good point, re trusting baby. I have always had a hard time reading his cues, and I'm a worry wart.
He skipped another bottle feed and ate from the right then the left then the right again and doesn't seem hungry. He only was on the left 3 minutes and the right a total of maybe 12-15... seeing as I have no idea how long a baby should eat from each breast this seems like not enough. But, if I go from cues, he seems satiated... so confusing!

With the finale of "The Bachelorette" having aired Monday night, Andi Dorfman and her new fiancé Josh Murray can finally go out in public together ... and they did so the first chance they got.
Dorfman picked Murray over fellow suitor Nick Viall and the new couple immediately jumped on the red eye at LAX to do the morning shows in New York City.
Andi and Josh clearly couldn't wait to be together -- the video was shot around 9:15 PM PT ... and Dorfman making her pick didn't air on the west coast until around 9:45 PM.
Spoiler alert?

[Note: This post was previously called "The Geography of Loss." After I hit "publish" I discovered/ remembered that Patti Digh, the author of several well-known self-discovery books, is writing a book and class with that title. On my own (Patti did not contact me) I changed my title because the word "landscape" is less of the study (as geography is) and embraces more of where one finds oneself and includes the struggle of change and creation. (As the image below shows). I also have a chapter on Imagined Landscapes in Raw Art Journaling, and this change suits the whole experience better. ]
The week in Cincinnati was hard work, fun, interesting and well organized. North Light, my publisher, treated me well. Of course, a company is made up of people, and the two people I spent most time with, Amy Jones (editorial) and Christine Polomsky (photographer) were patient, professional, and spoiled me. I would say, as I often do in my studio, "OK, time to change the watercolor brush
water," and Amy or Christine would reach over and do it. (That never happens in the studio!) Amy stood in for Tonia Davenport, my editor, who is based in Phoenix. That means more work for both of them, too, as they communicate back and forth over details that Tonia can't see and Amy has never read the text for. It's enough to make their heads hurt and eyes water.
I met the design team, the cover designer, the sales and marketing staff. And for one solid week, I reproduced the art, step by step, for the book so Christine could photograph it. At night, I'd edit the text, finish diagrams, and write the bits and pieces I'd left undone. I have never spent so much continuous time making art. (I have a day job– a thriving creativity coaching business as well as developing and teaching writing, from grammar to technical writing, to business clients. I own the company, but it's still work.)
Christine directed and photographed every project in the book, but not any of the illustrations –and there are a lot of them– scattered throughout journals, and done on separate pieces of paper. I thought they would be photographed this week, too. Nope, separate step. "When will that happen?" I asked, thinking maybe the next week. Nope, again. And when it is photographed, the artwork is kept until the book is delivered to make sure that nothing is lost and it's all kept together.
That means I won't see my journals and the free-standing pages, the covers, the folders, the contributors' art until January of 2014. I wasn't expecting that. And it doesn't matter that I understand clearly why that needs to happen. It was a huge feeling of loss. I didn't use "prepared" journals–these are my daily journals that I write in, figure stuff out in, and deal with life. And they are gone, for a long while.
Yes I can make more; yes its a privilege to have them in the book; yes, I will get them back, but my journals are part of my life in a very intimate way, and for now, they are missing. It triggered a lot of emotion about "missing" happening in my life lately. The food I no longer eat, the changes to my behavior that's healthier for me, the consequences of some decisions I've made, some health issues, the loss of a friend who was threatened about the changes in my life, illness and bad news in my family group—things I don't talk about on the blog or Facebook, because I believe that not every aspect of life is a sharable moment.
So there I was, facing the things I talk about–fear, sadness, mixed in with joy and relief (my part of the book is largely done!) but washed over by a huge sense of loss. I'd just finished reading Stella Pope Duarte's Writing through Revelations, Visions, and Dreams, and a powerful idea from her book came back.
Darkness is a teacher. If we look into the dark parts of our lives, we will encounter the truth, explore our dreams, come to term with our ghosts, and we will see parts of ourselves alive and well in the darkness, and they will live on in the characters we create
Or, in my case, not characters, but art. While re-creating a piece for the book, I brought with me letters from the friend I lost, menus and wrappers of food I no longer eat, photos of places I will never see again in the way I did when seen with those who won't travel with me again.
I created a landscape from the shapes I use as icons and talismans–the wavy lines that connect us all, and I stitched over them to hold them in place. It was a piece of mourning and a piece of memory, and I will recognize it in a different way when it comes back to me in a year.
We can run from fear and pain, and then we will spend our lives running. We can hold still, let it catch up with us, wash over us. It will not drown or kill us, because the human spirit is resilient and grows, even in fear. It may not be fun to sit with hard emotions, but there is peace in it. And after peace, we change, and we continue the journey changed, but we are no longer hiding and afraid. And that, for me, is success.
—Quinn McDonald has completed the Inner Hero book. It will be in book stores in January of 2014. She is now developing classes to go with the book. One of them will be about the landscape of loss.

As part of my UCLA spring ball preview, we break down the position groupings. With a new coaching staff, the competition should be fierce in the spring, as few players did much too cement starting roles going into spring ball. The Bruins are going to more of a base spread offense and a base 3-4 defense – though they will mix packages and personnel frequently – so take into account the changes. This is only a spring preview, so only freshmen who are participating – T.J. Millweard and Marcus Rios – will be listed.
Looking Back
Patrick Larimore 81 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1.0 sacks, 1 INT, 4 PBU, 1 FR, 1 FF
Eric Kendricks 77 tackles, 4.5 TFL, 2.0 sacks, 3 PBU
Jordan Zumwalt 60 tackles, 6.0 TFL, 1 INT, 1 PBU
Damien Holmes 32 tackels, 6.0 TFL, 1 sack, 2 PBU, 1 FF
Keenan Graham 20 tackles, 2.5 TFL, 1 sack
Isaiah Bowens 9 tackles, 2 FR
Todd Golper 2 tackles
Projected Depth Chart
OLB: JR Jordan Zumwalt, RS JR Keenan Graham
ILB: RS SO Eric Kendricks, RS SO Aramide Olaniyan, RS JR Isaiah Bowens, Ryan Hofmeister
ILB: RS SR Patrick Larimore, RS JR Todd Golper, Mike Orloff
OLB: RS SR Damien Holmes, JR Anthony Barr, RS FR Aaron Wallace
Coming In / Heading Out
In: FR Aaron Porter, FR Jeremy Castro, FR Nate Iese
Out: Glenn Love (graduation), Sean Westgate (graduation)
The UCLA linebacker corps was penalized through no fault of their own by a defensive line that had more give than a 60-foot rubber band. The corps, however, does claim fault for poor tackling and angles of pursuit that proved futile time and time again. The buck doesn't stop there, though: The Bruins' rotation at the position last year, from starters to backups, was downright baffling.
Now, with a shift to at least a heavy lean toward the 3-4, a new set of problem presents itself. UCLA needs to find a four-man crew that plays off each other better, and there is the talent here to do that. Will they be able to wrap up, though?

When it came time to break camp in 2010, Victor Cruz was decidedly on the bubble. It's not that he wasn't talented, but rather that the Giants weren't yet sure what they had. Ideally, they would have cut him and stashed him on the practice squad. It was a risk, given that any other team could have signed him, but the Giants front office doubted any other team would use a roster spot on an untested, undrafted receiver out of UMass.
Enter Rex Ryan. In the first preseason game, Cruz scored three times against the Jets, and after the game, Ryan couldn't contain his enthusiasm or his personnel plans.
"I hope they cut him," Ryan said after Cruz torched his backup defensive backs. "I know one team that would be ready to sign him, and that'd be us."
Knowing that if they cut him there'd be at least one team waiting to snatch him up, the Giants crammed him onto the 53-man roster. The rest is salsa.
Giants' Victor Cruz rose to surprise stardom after team nearly waived him [Star-Ledger]

Tough Decisions: The Washington Redskins Secondary, Who to Keep?
It's hard to believe, but there truly looks to be "more" competition for roster spots on the Washington Redskins this year than last year. Seriously, other than quarterback, kicker and punter, there's an abundance of quality players battling for a position. The offensive line, defensive line and receiving corps all could see some changes, but the most intriguing area to me is the defensive secondary.
Take a look at the names on the roster: Read the rest of this entry »

The Celebration Trailer of the Borderlands 2: Game of the Year Edition.
I waited all year for the GOTY edition to come out, and it's totally worth it. Loving every minute of this game.
Really wish the people behind stuff like this weren't the same ones deceiving their fans.
I still respect them as a developer. Borderlands 2 and the Brothers in Arms series were great experiences for me. Not to mention I felt that their expansions for the original Half-Life were better than the game proper.
I just don't really trust them anymore. It's a sad thing. As nice a guy as Randy Pitchford seems . . . he's a shady businessman.
amazing all that content for some reason i just couldnt get into this one. ive bought and played through part one many times over and the music was so much better in part one for exploring around and i liked the map layout in part one better aswell it might sound dumb but that played a huge part in me not playing it

Album Review: Mark Sultan, "$"
Forget the Black Lips, forget even King Khan–Mark Sultan (aka The BBQ Show) is the unsung hero of the gritty garage-soul sound. This album, which deftly combines messy, distorted steel guitar sounds (straddling the same border between Jesus and Mary Chain + garage as The Raveonettes) with Sultan's distinct, plaintive doo-wop wail, may be that sound's best manifestation yet. This album sounds like finally making out with the best friend you've always had a crush on. PLAY ALL!
Especially: 2+++(yah! yah!), 3+++(gorgeous doo-wop), 4++, 6+++(awesome, rockin'), 9+++(better version of King Khan and BBQ Show song)

Canadian low-cost carrier WestJet today announced the launch of nonstop service between Toronto, Canada and New Orleans.
The new nonstop to New Orleans will begin November 1, 2010 on a Boeing 737-700 with 136 seats in a single class of service configuration. The seasonal service will operate 4 times per week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday through May 8, 2011. The flight will depart Toronto at 9:30am and arrive in New Orleans at 11:30am with a 12:15pm departure from New Orleans and 3:55pm arrival in Toronto.
The WestJet announcement represents a route previously served by Air Canada. That service was lost after Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
The Airport, the City Administration, tourism and business leaders have ongoing dialogue with airlines now serving our market as well as with airlines who could potentially serve our market, to present data supporting the message that New Orleans is a world-class city with a growing demand for air service.
"We are pleased to announce this new service to Toronto", said Iftikhar Ahmad, Armstrong International Director of Aviation. "WestJet is a growing airline. We congratulate them on their 14thyear of business and look forward to acquiring additional WestJet service in the future."

[We have now] read the complete manuscript of LORD ALEXANDER'S CIPHER. We are in agreement that it has good potential, and has many of the right 'ingredients', but is still in need of work.I am not sure what Miss Snark would make of it, but I reckon that this is more of a "yes" than a "no". This is my first novel, after all. I would be suspicious if an agent suggested that it didn't need work.
I suggest that, if you are willing, we meet soon to discuss things in detail.
With the post-Christmas backlog the meeting won't be for a couple of weeks. I am not counting chickens, but I am counting the days.

With the world's population expanding and space at a premium in densely settled areas, transport needs are increasing all the time. This calls for economical solutions that take environmental concerns into consideration. Mercedes-Benz has developed a strategy that takes us progressively closer to a vision of emission-free mobility and that fulfils the different requirements of local and long-distance transport.
Our F125! research vehicle demonstrates that emission-free driving is possible without compromising on comfort, safety or performance. It gives us an insight into how vehicles will look, two generations from now, in 2025 and beyond.
Many technologies featured in the F125! are still the focus of basic research but have shown great future promise, and therefore have a realistic chance of implementation in future series-production vehicles. One example is the structure integrated hydrogen composite storage unit – a technological revolution that allows the hydrogen tank to be integrated fully into the body shell structure. This creates new possibilities when it comes to vehicle architecture and range, which stands at 1000 km for the F125!
The F125! is driven by powerful electric motors fed by a fuel cell stack. This evolution of F-CELL technology would accelerate the F125! to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, with a top speed of 220 km/h. In the process it emits only steam and heat.
The F125! represents a milestone on the road to an emission-free future and builds on the legacy of a concept from 1994. NECAR1, a huge van with a fuel cell stack in the load area, was the first step of many. Now there are more than 100 B-Class F-CELL vehicles, attesting to the day-to-day suitability of fuel cell vehicles. In the not too distant future, the F125! vision could become a reality. In the meantime, we continue to drive forward the development of all types of drive systems:

A Draft Generic Environmental Impact Statement (DGEIS) has been completed and accepted for the proposed action described below. Comments are requested and will be accepted by the contact person until November 21, 2011. A public hearing on the Draft GEIS will be held on November 10, 2011, at 3:30 p.m., at the Town of Babylon Town Hall Board Room. Name of Action: Planning Board Job #11-05ACE, New Frontier II, LLC, App. #91896 Description of Action: The applicant proposes to rezone nine (9) parcels zoned Business E and Residence B to a Multiple Residence Use District and construct 500 units (213 one-bedroom and 287 two-bedroom units), 45,500 square feet of proposed retail space and associated site improvements. The application includes the subdivision of the nine (9) parcels into five (5) for the purpose of a five (5) phased development. The nine (9) parcels total 20.26 acres. The project site currently has 356 mobile home units. Location: E/s Broadway, 127.77' n/o Nathalie Avenue, Amityville, New York, SCTM Nos. 0100-163-01- 54, 55, 56, 57 and SCTM Nos. 0100-164-02-2, 5, 9, 10, 25.

Potential Environmental Impacts: The proposal involves a significant change in existing land use at the subject location. The redevelopment of the site will result in the construction of 500 residential housing units and 45,500 square feet of retail space. The project involves a number of phases which must be considered in the overall analysis in connection with potential significant adverse environmental impacts. These separate phases will have common and cumulative impacts. The proposal may result in secondary impacts to area roads. Drainage and sediment and erosion control impacts must be analyzed for the overall project and more specifically for each phase through the preparation of Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plans (SWPPPs). The proposal will change the existing community character of the site. Social impacts in connection with relocation must be examined. The proposal is a significant development, 500 residential units, 45,500 square feet of retail space and associated site improvements on the 20.26 acre site. Based on the magnitude of the project, the phasing of the development and potential secondary environmental impacts, the preparation of a Generic Environmental Impact Statement is appropriate for this project.

Ophelia of Butterflies and Wheels has been writing some excellent posts lately about the abuse and oppression of women in Christian communities. One of them led me to an outstanding blog titled Love, Joy, Feminism. Its author, Libby Anne, grew up in an incredibly strict and fundamentalist Christian home that practiced a way of life she calls "Christian Patriarchy" (some might also refer to it as the Quiverfull movement). She and all her (twelve!) siblings were homeschooled, indoctrinated with religion from their earliest years, taught that women's role in life is to obey men and that women must give up their dreams and ambitions to better subordinate themselves to their future husbands.
Despite the endless chores and incessant hard work, despite the perpetual religious indoctrination, despite the beatings doled out as discipline, Libby Anne's childhood wasn't miserable. On the contrary, she remembers it as a blissfully happy time. She genuinely wanted to be a good, submissive daughter, and took pleasure in fulfilling her parents' expectations. She was excited about the idea of her father selecting a husband for her, which she viewed as a romantic fantasy, and she couldn't wait to become a housewife and devote the rest of her life to serving her husband and having as many children as possible for Jesus' right-wing cause. One could, of course, argue that this was the happiness of enforced ignorance; she was happy in this way of life because she had nothing to compare it to, because she literally wasn't aware that there were any other ways to live.
How did she escape this? Despite all they believed about Christian patriarchy, her parents also valued education, and they allowed her to go to college. While she was there, she met people who didn't follow the script, people who led happy, fulfilled lives despite not hewing to the strict rules she grew up with, which she'd always been taught was impossible. She also found herself defending her religious beliefs for the first time, and she kept encountering arguments she'd never heard before, arguments that could punch holes in the beliefs she'd grown up learning as absolute truth. Eventually, the worldview she'd been taught crumbled, and despite intense emotional pressure and guilt-tripping by her parents, she found the courage and the honesty to walk away. (See also her longer account of her deconversion.)One thing I noticed while reading these posts is the startling number of similarities there are between the Christian patriarchy and the Islamic one: women kept isolated at home, forbidden to work, get an education or travel without male approval. (Libby Anne's parents were unusual in letting her go to college; here's another post by an escapee who didn't, and now laments her inability to support herself.) They're taught that their only role in life is to serve and obey men, treated as property to be passed off from father, to husband, and sometimes to son – this happens in fundamentalist Christian communities as well as Islamic ones.
Another observation, readily apparent, is how absolutely consumed by fear these people's lives are. Parents who follow the teachings of Christian patriarchy are, necessarily, terrified of letting their children come into contact with any idea that doesn't conform with what they've been taught – which is why they go to such extreme lengths to isolate themselves. Despite biblical verses like the Great Commission, we're increasingly seeing believers like Libby Anne's parents conceding the battleground of ideas, propagating their beliefs only by reproducing and not even attempting to convince outsiders. As society becomes more secular and atheism becomes more influential, we're going to see more of this sort of thing: fundamentalists retreating into these isolated, closed-off bubbles and locking the door behind them.
This is just what Daniel Dennett is talking about when he writes in Breaking the Spell that any faith which has to "hoodwink — or blindfold — [its] children to ensure that they confirm their faith when they are adults, [that] faith ought to go extinct." But that's easier said than done, and it creates a dilemma for us. How can we effectively evangelize for atheism and teach ideals of human freedom and liberty to those inside these communities? How can we reach people when their entire upbringing is organized to deny them contact with the outside world? I don't have a good answer for this, but I'm open to suggestions.

With Turkish Airlines, you can enjoy discounted ticket offers for infant passengers when you travel with infants aged 8 days and over who have not yet reached their 2nd birthday. We also allow infants who are between 2 and 7 days old to travel if parents can present a doctor's note stating: 'There is no particular reason for the patient not to fly.'

Infant passengers can only travel accompanied by a guardian. The guardian must be at least 18 years old and each guardian can only accompany 1 infant passenger.
Infant passengers travel on the lap of their guardian, with a special infant safety belt. Guardians can also request a seat for infant passengers. In this case, infants must have their own baby baby car seat-style carrier which will be placed on the aircraft seat. The dimensions of the carrier must be 40x40 cm. If a seat is requested, a discounted child ticket will be issued for the infant and there will be no additional charge for the baby carrier. Baby carriers must be provided by the guardian.
A mother, father or adult aged 18 or over can accompany up to one infant on a single flight. If traveling with more than one infant, an infant ticket (sitting on the companion's lap) will be issued for the first infant, and a child ticket (paid, in a separate seat) will be issued for additional infants. Infants sitting in seats must be in a carrier in order for their seatbelt to be fastened.
Strollers for infant passengers can only be transported in the cargo hold. However, infants in their strollers can be brought as far as the plane entrance, where guardians can hand over the stroller to staff. At the end of the flight, the stroller will be unloaded by our staff and given back to the guardian.
On Turkish Airlines flights, you can choose from 2 types of fruit and vegetable baby foods, both of which are served in glass jars. These must be requested during the reservation process or at least 24 hours before the flight. We also carry additional baby food in the cabin for passengers who have not made a special meal request before the flight. Please note that our additional baby food service is limited.
You may bring enough liquid or solid baby food with you to meet your child's needs during the flight. Take care to ensure that liquid baby food is carried in containers with a volume no greater than 100 ml.

(MSC is defined as the airline flying the most significant and/or longest leg of the journey, in accordance with the regulations of IATA [International Air Transport Association]. For joint flights, the baggage regulations of the airline company that qualifies as the MSC are applied.)
All child passengers aged 2 and over who have not yet reached their 12th birthday must be accompanied by either their parents, an adult authorized by their parents, or a companion assigned by Turkish Airlines.
Turkish Airlines child passengers, enjoy a discount and, are entitled to the same baggage allowance as adult passengers. On international flights, special meal requests for your child must be made at least 24 hours before the flight.
If you are unable to travel with your child and do not have a guardian to travel with them, Turkish Airlines can assign a travel companion for your child as long as you meet their full flight costs.
Our assigned in-flight companion, along with members of ground staff, will ensure your child has a safe flight. All your child's needs during the journey will be dealt with by our assigned staff member who will deliver your child to a nominated adult waiting at the arrival destination at the end of the journey.
You must make your request for a companion at least 48 hours before the flight. A request for a companion can only be made by the child passenger's parent or someone authorized by the parent. The person bringing the child passenger to the airport and handing them over to staff must be the child's parent or a legal guardian, and must be carrying a notarized document indicating they have the authority to hand over the child passenger.
The discount for child passengers is applied to international routes only when permitted by flight regulations. The discount amount may vary on some routes.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Big Bird, binders and ... bayonets! Well, at last we know the three Twitter memes of the debate season - and they all start with `B.'
But beyond President Barack Obama's `bayonet' zinger - more on that in a moment - the final presidential debate was notable for how the two candidates, in ways verbal and nonverbal, switched roles in a sense from their first debate. This time, political communication analysts say, Mitt Romney seemed more passive and defensive, and Obama more forceful and in command.
And speaking of that word "command," the president was eager to use it whenever he could - to show how he and only he had the policies, temperament and experience for the top job. "As commander in chief .. " Obama began more than one answer.
Did his tactics work? Some impressions from the third and last presidential debate, from analysts of political communication and body language:
Let's get the sports analogies over with: Some analysts focused on how Romney was playing it safe this time - or "playing for a draw," in the words of Jonathan Paul, director of debate at Georgetown University. "That seemed to be his strategy in the questions of foreign policy." In other words, first make no mistakes.
"Romney's purpose was not to lose," said Jerry Shuster, who teaches political communication at the University of Pittsburgh. "He was underplaying, almost demure. Attack was not part of his strategy." Analysts noted, though, that this may have been the least risky strategy when dealing with issues of foreign policy.
As for Obama, he knew he had to come appearing presidential and leader-like, and he did so, Shuster said: "He came prepared to be presidential and prepared to win."
Call it the great pivot: Romney managed to veer the conversation a number of times to domestic issues, an area where he had more definitive things to say.
"You could tell he didn't want this debate to be about foreign policy - he wanted it to be about jobs and China," Paul said.
But did it work? It probably depended on who was listening. "I call it deviation, rather than a pivot," Shuster said.
The difference on Monday night, added Paul, was that as opposed to the first debate, Obama was better prepared to answer those domestic questions.
What happened to the boxing match (sorry, another sports analogy) that was the second presidential debate?
Thanks mostly to the change in format - the second debate was a town-hall style meeting, whereas on Monday night the candidates were seated at a small desk - the debate was a lot less physical. You didn't see a lot of personal space violations.
There was also less room for the interruptions, on both sides, that bothered some viewers in the second debate.
But even though the two men were sitting down and close to each other, there was some fodder for body language experts like Lillian Glass, a body language coach in Los Angeles.
"Romney was definitely nervous," Glass said. "He was sweating on his upper lip. That's the nervous system kicking in."
However, Glass liked the body language that Romney exhibited later in the debate, a back-straight posture that she termed "powerful."
"They both were at the top of the game," she said. "It was a draw. They both get As."
Most analysts, though, felt Obama was more successful than his opponent in getting across the message he needed to: that he was the presidential one. Facial expressions reinforced that.
"Romney seemed to frown a lot," Glass said.
As for Obama, "The president made good eye contact, balancing it between his opponent and the moderator," Shuster said. "He also maintained a steady gaze, as if to say, `What I am saying is on target.'" Shuster saw Romney's expression as more a grin than a frown or a smirk, as some called it - albeit a very uneasy grin.
"He had that grin when he listened to Obama, which to me said, `I don't know what I'm going to say in response to this,'" Shuster said.
The responses Romney did give were problematic for him on another level, said Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a professor of political communication at the University of Pennsylvania. While Obama got flak in Denver for nodding in agreement with his opponent, this time it was Romney who found himself agreeing with a number of Obama's pronouncements on foreign policy.
"You can't indict someone for a foreign policy you basically agree with," Jamieson said. And that was compounded by Romney's apparent reluctance to rebut a number of Obama's criticisms, she said.
"The danger for Romney is that he didn't respond to charges that he's inconsistent," Jamieson said. "He didn't specifically rebut much of anything."
Romney's moderate responses did have one big advantage, Jamieson added: They probably helped reverse the perception among some that he would be more likely to bring the country to war. She says a survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania has indicated that perception is a vulnerability for Romney.
Who knew that Big Bird would have a moment this election season? And wasn't it even weirder when it was binders, that essential school supply, that emerged in the sunlight?
This time it was bayonets, after an Obama comment that was the most tweeted all evening and is probably just in the early stages of its pop-culture shelf life. When Romney repeated his criticism that the U.S. Navy is too small and has fewer ships than it did in 1916, Obama was ready:
"Well, governor, we also have fewer horses and bayonets," Obama said, painting Romney as out of touch. "We have these things called `aircraft carriers', and planes land on them."
Was it snark, or simply a clever use of humor?
"I thought it was very effective - one of his best moments," said Paul, the Georgetown debate coach.
Shuster, at the University of Pittsburgh, said the best thing about the remark was how it illustrated, pithily, the president's view on military spending - one of the few foreign policy areas on which the candidates have real disagreements.
Now the existential question: Does any of it matter to the election results?
Pundits universally declared Romney the winner of the first debate, and Obama the winner, albeit by a much narrower margin, of the second. The president was perceived by many to have won the third, but perhaps a tweet from Larry Sabato, director of the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, said it best.
"Glancing down Twitter," he tweeted. "Shocker: All D's think O won, all R's think R won."
Debate impressions: A reversal in body language?
NEW YORK (AP) -- Big Bird, binders and ... bayonets! Well, at last we know the three Twitter memes of the debate season - and they all start with `B.'
