ERIE � After playing three consecutive games against the league's top teams, the Hillsdale High School girls basketball team caught a much-needed break.
Regaining their form in a big way, the Hornets stormed to a 54-9 victory over the Erie Mason Eagles in a Lenawee County Athletic Association game Friday.
Hillsdale (7-4, 3-4 LCAA) had dropped three straight games to conference powers Blissfield, Onsted and Ida before facing the Eagles. The game was played under a running clock for the majority of the second half.
"We needed a game like this now to get back on a winning streak," Hillsdale coach Nick Langston said. "We have some home games coming up, and we need to put some wins together."
The Hornets jumped out to a 21-4 lead in the first quarter and were never threatened after that. Hillsdale extended its lead to 31-7 by halftime.
The momentum carried into the second half, as the Hornets outscored Erie Mason 21-2 over the final two quarters.
Hayley Maystead scored 22 points and grabbed six rebounds to lead Hillsdale. Maddie Eves had seven points, while Jamee Thompson added five points and eight rebounds. Alana Thayer, Alyssa Anderson and Sarah Maples each scored four points, while Alex Lynch and Kim Sanderson both finished with two points.
The Hornets will host Leslie for a non-conference game Tuesday.

Providing care to older adults at home can improve their quality of life as well as provide a better value. The majority of older people and those with disabilities overwhelmingly want to remain independent and receive the assistance they need in their homes, instead of rest homes. Most, in fact, do so.
For many of these adults, the care they need as they age is personal care, not medical care, such as help with various activities including dressing, bathing or preparing meals. Often this assistance is provided informally by family members.
But some older people with disabilities confront barriers that take the choice away from them... particularly if no family is present to help.
Henderson County provides a program that helps older people and those with disabilities have a choice regarding the help they need. This program allows for assistance in a rest home or in a private living arrangement.
The program is called the Special Assistance Program. Based on an eligibility assessment and need, an older person/person with a disability can receive help with the cost of living in a rest home or services, support and additional income for care in their home.
The Special Assistance Program supplements the Social Security income of an older person or person with disabilities; they must be 65 or older, or age 18-64 with disability according to Social Security disability standards, and:
u Require assistance with their daily living activities at the rest home level of care based on their doctor's verification.
u A U.S. citizen.
u Meet income and asset eligibility requirements.
Older people or those with disabilities who reside in a rest home are assisted by Special Assistance with the cost of room and board. The program assists with the cost of care by supplementing a person's Social Security income. Both the person and the program contribute to the costs of care in the rest home.
Older people or those with disabilities who live at home are assisted by Special Assistance with the cost of care and additionally have a case manager helping with services and support. An assessment is completed by a case manager to determine whether the adult can remain home safely and what service supports and income are needed to assure the adult's needs are met.
Using the assessment information, the case manager works directly with the person and their family, or other supports, to develop a care plan that enables the adult to live at home safely rather than moving to a rest home.
The care plan includes both the needed costs of care such as shelter repair, food and other daily necessities and the arrangement of needed services such as in-home aides, senior companions and transportation.
The case manager's role is essential, and all Special Assistance In-Home Program participants receive on-going case management. Family, friends and neighbors can also be an essential part of the care plan.
An example of the Special Assistance Program for a person who lives at home is the case of "Mr. R." Mr. R. lives in Henderson County and suffers from multiple, debilitating health problems, such as diabetes. A friend assists with his care.
Mr. R. is 87. He values his independence and wants to avoid out-of-home placement. He uses services arranged by his Special Assistance case manager, as well as additional funds for home repair, utility bills and special food for his dietary needs.
Mr. R., his friend and the Special Assistance case manager meet monthly to plan for his care and safety. Without his friend and case manager, Mr. R.'s needs could not be met and out-of-home placement would be necessary.
Research and a study of the North Carolina General Assembly found that enabling people to live in their homes instead of in facilities is a better value for everyone. Programs used by older adults and disabled adults, including the Special Assistance Program, allow people an opportunity to live at home longer.
Overall, in-home services, support and additional income costs 29 percent less than assistance with the cost of room and board in a rest home. Medicaid and prescription drug cost savings were 30 percent.
The Board of Social Services believes that in times of belt tightening, Henderson County must find ways to reduce costs without denying essential care and self-determination for our community's older people and those with disabilities. The Special Assistance Program helping older people and those with disabilities is a win-win.

Providing care to older adults at home can improve their quality of life as well as provide a better value. The majority of older people and those with disabilities overwhelmingly want to remain independent and receive the assistance they need in their homes, instead of rest homes. Most, in fact, do so.

Appeal and Balance Of Design
Appeal isn't just a matter of drawing cute eyes. It's a matter of good looking shapes that balance well together.
This means you need to know how to use negative areas in your drawings.
Basil Wolverton has a way of drawing ugly that is actually very cute. He uses strong contrasts, negative spaces and obvious distinct forms. The details in the cross-hatching do not try to hide the beauty and imagination of the statement. If you erased the cross-hatching , the shapes would still be distinct and funny.
A lot of young (or amateurish) artists have a problem with clutter. I was talking to a student the other day who asked me to look at his drawings on his blog and they had a typical problem. Too cluttered.
Some clutternuts will draw a head shape and completely fill it with the face. No empty spaces. All fill. That makes the face hard to see, and also makes it hard to animate expressions. You need space above your eyebrows if you want your eyebrows to move and make expressions, for example.
You need empty spaces to draw your attention to filled spaces.
Clarity Of Design VS Ambiguity
A lot of young cartoonists are influenced by modern comic strip "art".
Many strips have characters that you have to stare at for a few minutes before you can even see which part is the face. Where the mouth or nose is, etc...What expression the character is trying to make.
Every design and drawing should commit to itself. It should be absolutely clear and distinct, so you have total control over what you are trying to say.
Organic Drawing

Semester 2 Cartoon Tools:
Bob Clampett, Tex Avery, Jim Tyer, Milt Gross and the rest are up in cartoon Heaven staring down at us wondering what the heck happened to the art they created and took to such high levels.
We should be able to take the head start they gave us and do work that makes them not only proud, but jealous!
This course explores 2 essential concepts of cartooning that just seem to have been completely abandoned
Exaggeration is not some uncontrolled anarchy like many stuffy animation critics would have you believe. Tex Avery was a highly structured master of what cartoons are and he was very careful in planning his seemingly crazy ideas.
Cartoon characters need to look alive, and motivated from within if they are to engage the audience.
Drawing characters that look alive seems to be a rare skill today:
Instead of life, we get a lot of pointy graphic clutter. I want students to learn to draw CHARACTERS, as opposed to graphic symbols. You should think of them as real creatures and draw them as if they are controlling the action, not being pushed around by you and a commitee of executives.
30s rubber hose character principles are continued and added to by more principles that make the animation and drawings more natural or "organic".
Overlapping Action/Follow Through
Weight Through Timing
Specific Walks and Runs
Lip synch For Assorted Muzzles and Beaks
4 legged characters
Timing Variations - Avoiding tricks
The visual language of acting
Acting in cartoons consists of appealing to 2 senses, the eye and the ear.
The voice actors tell your ears some emotions and the animator tells your eyes how the characters feel.
You should be able to do a story in complete pantomime using the visual tools that are at our command.
In this course, we would learn just the very basics of cartoon acting tools. In the next year's more advanced course we would explore more subtlety and specific acting.
Starting with simple basic expressions and the basic emotions, to get used to drawing them with clarity and form.
PosesLearn to make bold, distinct clear poses that tell how the character feels using all the good cartoon principles.
Mouth Shapes -
Generic mouth shapes are better than Specifically Disney mouth shapes, but not as good as mouth shapes specific to the character and the scene.
Training your eye and brain to see that.
Studying Classic Cartoon Acting:
Generic-early Disney, Tom and Jerry
Slightly Specific - Tex Avery
More Specific – Chuck Jones
How Timing Affects Your Visuals
With emphasis on:
Stage presence
Clarity of Message
Entertainment value
Superhuman ability
Professional performance
There will be exercises where the students have to combine principles and studies from different classes into drawing and animation assignments.
The students will consult with the instructor to design their own assignments.
They will have to write what problems they want to solve and how they will combine different ideas.
The assignments will be judged on:
Clarity of Concept
Success in Combining elements
Entertainment value
Your eye is a liar, but a sometimes intuitive interpreter.
Your brain is an analyst that has been dulled by too many kicks in the head from modern culture.
I want to train both these important faculties and this will enable you to learn faster and make you a much more aware and inventive functional cartoonist.
It should be fun to learn how to cartoon.
It should be fun to make cartoons.
Your goal should be to give the audience more fun than they ever imagined possible.
That's what this school would be all about.

Among the many versions of Windows 8 PCs pushing back against the traditional clamshell laptop is the detachable-screen hybrid. Examples include the HP Envy X2 and the Lenovo ThinkPad Helix, but the first version of this style we got our hands on was the Acer Iconia W510.
The version of this 10-inch hybrid we looked at during the Windows 8 launch was a nonfinal preproduction unit, but now that the final hardware is available, we've been able to benchmark the W510 for an official review. In truth, our experience with the early hardware and this final version differs little, and those initial impressions mostly stand.
While Acer's other Windows 8 systems, such as the Aspire S7 and W700, have impressed, the W510 is held back by a couple of factors. First, it's powered by a direct descendant of the Atom processors behind the Netbook, a nearly extinct laptop subcompact category that was hugely popular for a year or so before low-cost ultraportables and the iPad overshadowed it. The new Atoms are faster than their predecessors, while maintaining long battery life and power efficiency, but that may not be enough to satisfy laptop shoppers used to finding Intel Core i3, i5, and even i7 chips in the thinnest of ultrabooks.
The other psychological hurdle here is price. Atom-powered laptops from a few years ago cost $299 or so. The Iconia W510 is $749 (or $599 for the tablet/screen only without the keyboard dock). There are a lot of impressive laptops you can buy for $750 that are more powerful, have better features, and are easier to use than this one. To be fair, there are many Atom-powered Windows 8 tablets and hybrids that cost around the same or more -- but they don't make the most compelling case, either.
The idea of a touch-screen slate running a full Windows operating system that can instantly transform into a working laptop is an appealing one. In practice, the slate part of the W510 is well-built and responsive, and the hinge that connects the two halves is easy to use and secure.
But, the keyboard half (which contains an additional battery) is too light, making the entire thing top-heavy and prone to tipping over. Adding to my usability concerns, $750 only gets you a 64GB SSD hard drive (with about half that space free after OS and software overhead), and the tablet half has connections -- Micro-HDMI, microSD, and Micro-USB -- that are only useful if you walk around with a pocketful of adapters.
Hybrids such as this need to be priced appropriately (especially ones with Atom processors), and offer great design and usability in order to be a compelling alternative to other computing products in the same price range. As much as the Acer Aspire S7 touch-screen ultrabook was an excellent advertisement for Windows 8, the Iconia W510 feels like an advertisement for the iPad, or any of the $700 to $800 ultrabooks that offer slim, portable computing at a reasonable price.

Design and features
There are small differences in color, button placement, and overall visual ID, but Windows 8 hybrid laptop/tablets I've seen from Samsung, HP, Dell, Lenovo, Acer, and others generally look the same. None is particularly streamlined, as all require beefed-up hinge assemblies to keep the screen securely tethered.
The screen part of the W510 looks very professional, like a slightly smaller, squatter iPad, virtually indistinguishable from other Windows or Android 10-inch tablets with edge-to-edge glass and a gently curved back panel. It's solidly built, but not overly heavy.
In tablet mode, the Windows 8 UI moves smoothly, and the screen rotation in tablet mode feels faster and smoother than in the preproduction version of this system we tried several months ago. There's a rotation lock button on the top edge of the screen if you don't want the screen to reorient with every move.
The keyboard dock it plugs into is somewhat less upscale-looking than the tablet. It's bulky, but contains an additional battery, so connecting the two parts helps with battery life. The keyboard features white island-style keys against a light silver keyboard tray, with a small clickpad below.
The keys, as noted previously, are on the small side, and reminded me of typing on a tiny Netbook keyboard years ago. Keystrokes were definitely more accurate on this final version than on the earlier sample hardware, but I occasionally ran into a double input, where a keystroke would register twice.
The clickpad-style touch pad (which means it has the left and right mouse buttons built into the pad itself, instead of separate buttons) is functional, but feels cramped. As noted with the Acer Aspire S7, the Windows 8 interface doesn't work especially well with a touch pad, so you'll find yourself using a combination of pad and screen for navigation.
When combined, the screen and keyboard form something that looks and feels a lot like a traditional clamshell laptop. The hinge holds very securely, and the entire hinge assembly can also fold open to nearly 180 degrees.
The 13-inch 1,366x768-pixel display is clear and bright, and suffers no visual degradation from having touch incorporated into it. Despite my Atom-centric concerns, touch response is immediate and quick, and off-axis viewing (important for a tablet) was excellent from any angle.

Connections and performance
If you look at the W510 as a tablet, its ports and connections are decent. If you look at it as a laptop, it's potentially frustrating. As mentioned, the display has Micro-USB, Micro-HDMI, and a microSD card slot. The keyboard base adds a full-size USB port, but available USB ports are of the older 2.0 variety (something to look out for when getting an Atom over a Core i-series Intel chip).

As students return to school today, the Neosho R-5 School District wants parents to know that the safety of their children is a top priority for the district.
As students return to school today, the Neosho R-5 School District wants parents to know that the safety of their children is a top priority for the district.
District staff held a crisis management workshop on Tuesday, designed to educate or update teachers, staff and administrators on the district's emergency procedures.
Alma Stipp, Neosho R-5 superintendent, said though school safety is a timely issue following the December shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., Neosho district officials had already planned the work session prior to the tragic event.
Stipp said Tuesday's training was just one of several procedures in place to assure the safety of Neosho students.
"We've had safety drills and procedures in place for over 10 years," Stipp said. "We do take this very seriously."
Tuesday's training focused on six areas: first aid, mental health, security, search and rescue, family reunification and special education.
Each campus in the Neosho school district has an emergency team in place, trained to address any potential crises should they occur.
Those teams, along with the district's current safety plans and procedures, were implemented in 2008, according to a release from the school district.
"The safety of students, staff and patrons of the Neosho School district is of utmost importance to the administrative team and the board of education," district officials said in a prepared statement. "We feel these types of trainings are vital in the preparation for any type of emergency that could take place in Neosho schools."
While it is the practice of all schools in the Neosho district to keep all but the front door of the building locked, safety precautions have been taken a step further at the high school and junior high in the 2012-2013 school year.
Card readers were installed at entrances around the building, requiring students to swipe their identification cards to be allowed access to the building.
An additional doorway was also installed at the entrance of the high school. Now, those visiting the school without an access card must enter through the first set of doors, and check in with an office attendant to be allowed further into the building.
The school district also has a security officer, Dereck Price, on hand at the high school, and a school resource officer, Dustin Whitehill, who is a member of the Neosho Police Department.
Stipp said she believes the presence of the law enforcement officer and security officer adds to the sense of security students feel while at school.
She said security measures are also in place in classrooms across the district.
"Most of the time the classrooms are locked and are in the locked position when open," Stipp said.
She said in addition to Tuesday's training, the schools also hold routine training for students and teachers.
"We had already trained on moving students to a safe place and out of view," Stipp said. "We'll do more of the drills that we've done."
She said she expects students to participate in training early this semester.
Stipp said the district's security drills, including how to respond to an intruder, are done on a regular basis much like fire drills or natural disaster drills.
Stipp said while the Newtown shooting is still on the minds of many parents, she feels comfortable saying that students in the Neosho district are safe when at school.
"If we felt like there was an area that wasn't safe, we would be addressing it," Stipp said. "The safety of our students is of primary importance. Education is our focus but keeping them safe so we can educate them is most important."
She said parents who have additional safety concerns or who would like more information on the district's security measures are welcome to contact their children's school principals or district administrators.
"We're constantly looking at ways to improve security," Stipp said.

Don't settle for the first refinance rate you see. It pays to shop around for the best rates, so check rates from at least three lenders when you're looking to refinance your home loan.
It's best to refinance when rates are low. Rates can change daily, so keep track of the latest Brooklyn, NY refinance rates and work with your lender to lock in a rate.
Refinancing can help you use some of your hard‑earned equity to pay for large expenses, like major home improvements or college tuition, by taking out additional cash at closing.

22 May 2014
Sepang, May 22, 2014 – When Donald Chung decided to do a bit of shopping at KL International Airport (KLIA) while waiting for his flight to Kuching, little did he know that his little indulgence will win him a RM1million shopping spree and a trip to seven of the most glamorous shopping cities in the world!
Thirty-two year old Chung who hails from Kuching is the Grand Prize winner of Malaysia Airports' Indulge Till You Fly (ITUF) 2013-2014 Campaign. As the Grand Prize winner, he will be indulging in an RM1million shopping spree at KLIA over the next two days. He will then be whisked off to a 15-day trip to six other cities –Hong Kong, Tokyo, London, Paris, Milan and Dubai – for even more shopping and dining indulgence experiences!
Chung and his mother will fly business class to all the six cities where they will stay at five-star hotels and be chauffeur-driven to the respective cities' premier malls– compliments of MasterCard International, the official card for Malaysia Airports' ITUF 2013-2014 Campaign.
Said an elated and highly-excited Chung: "I have never won any contests and never thought that I could win! When I was contacted, they didn't tell me what I won so I thought I was going to be one of the monthly indulgers winning RM10,000. Of course I was keeping my fingers crossed but never thought that I could actually win the Grand Prize! This is unbelievable! It is a dream come true!"
When asked which city he is most looking forward to visiting, Chung revealed "London". "I've always wanted to go to London as I'd never been. This is a great opportunity to fulfill that desire. The amazing thing is, I get to go not only to London but other dream cities too!"
Congratulating Chung on his win, Puan Faizah Khairuddin, Senior General Manager Commercial Services, Malaysia Airports, said: "Our theme for this year's ITUF Campaign is 'Wonderland' and our fantastic ITUF Grand Prize is very much in line with the theme of the Campaign.
"It underpins the fact that airports are take-off-points to wonderful places where we can experience and learn lifelong lessons. At the same time, airports themselves are places of wonders and indulgences. Our monthly indulgers and Grand Prize winners can attest to that!"
Held for the fourth year, the ITUF Campaign is part of Malaysia Airports' annual drive to raise awareness of the dual roles of its international airports – as transportation hubs and as lifestyle destinations.
Participants of the Campaign had to spend a minimum of RM250 at any F&B or retail outlets at the five international airports. With that amount, they were deemed eligible to take part in the Indulge & Win Contest and entitled, automatically, to instant cash shopping vouchers worth RM10. MasterCard holders were given the privilege to double their entries and shopping vouchers.
Shoppers redeemed their shopping vouchers on the spot at one of the 40 Indulge & Win e-kiosks located throughout the international airports – KL International Airport, Low Cost Carrier Terminal – KL International Airport, Langkawi International Airport, Penang International Airport (PIA), Kuching International Airport and Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA).
All they had to do is to scan the receipts of their purchases and key in personal details; answer a question related to the Campaign; and redeem their RM10 shopping vouchers on the spot. Information captured at the e-kiosks was uploaded to an off-site server computer which randomly selected a Monthly Indulger prize winner of RM10,000 in shopping vouchers.
Seven (7) Monthly Indulger prize winners were selected throughout the Campaign period. Each Monthly Indulger prize winner would also be in the running to win the Grand Prize. The Grand Prize winner is selected randomly by the computer.
The final month indulger winners for the month of February 2014 are as follows and they are amongst total 49 monthly winners for Indulge & Win Campaign 2013/2014:
• Fetama binti Sedi from Kota Kinabalu, Sabah who made her purchases at Bagzbar Outlet in Kota Kinabalu International Airport (Payment mode: MasterCard)
• Lim Ching Chai from Limbang, Sarawak who made his purchases at Flying Emporium outlet in Kuching International Airport (Payment mode: MasterCard)
• Harizan Mansor from Langkawi, Kedah who made his purchases at Colours & Fragrances Outlet in Langkawi International Airport (Payment mode: Visa Card)
• Khairil Hafiz Jaafar from Merlimau Melaka who made his purchases at DFZ Outlet in Penang International Airport (Payment mode: Cash)
• Lee Zhun Keat from Subang Jaya Selangor who made his purchases at Ceeve Luxury Outlet in KL International Airport (Payment mode: Cash)
• Edwin Loke Chern Kwong from Petaling Jaya Selangor who made his purchases at ERAMAN Outlet in KL International Airport (Payment mode: Cash)
• Mohamad Firdaus bin Othman from Kelana Jaya Selangor who made his purchases at Pandora Outlet in KL International Airport (Payment mode: MasterCard)
NOTE: Grand Prize winner – Donald Chung from Subang Jaya Selangor made his purchases at Flying Emporium Outlet in KL International Airport (Payment mode: Cash)
Fetama binti Sedi, 53, a monthly Indulger winner from Kota Kinabalu, said shopping at airports give her access to quality items that are sometimes not available at malls in the city. Her favourite to-buy items at airports are handbags and perfumes.
Meanwhile, Lee Zhun Keat, 26, also a monthly indulger winner from Selangor said he enjoys shopping at the airport as it enables him to enjoy savings when purchasing items like chocolates, designer bags and jewellery.
Commented Puan Faizah : "The traditional view of airports, more specifically KLIA, as a place to catch your flight is changing. Today, we have travelers, their families and friends who have come to see our airports as a destination – a place where they can shop and dine.
"Through Campaigns such as ITUF, the position of KLIA as a lifestyle destination is further strengthened. Strategically, it augurs well for our goal of increasing revenues from non-aeronautical sources and in changing the overall perception of airports as lifestyle destinations."
"We will continue to come up with innovative and creative options; to give travelers the reason to make our airports the choice in their travels," concluded Puan Faizah.

Dexter was and will always be so special to me. I miss him so much. He was always my constant companion. He loved his treats and he loved to take rides in the car. He loved to lay in the sunny spot inside or outside. He was the best. R.I.P.1995-2010
Heidi was my sweet little baby girl. I miss her so much. All she ever wanted was to sit in your lap and be loved. Oh! and her treats, too. She would get so excited. She would run back and forth and bark with excitement when she knew she was getting her pumpkin muffin. She also loved her stuffed toys. She would be so happy just squeaking them. R.I.P. 1995-2008
Taylor a.k.a. Tay Tay. Loves, loves, loves to wake us up in the middle of the night with the cutest little meow to let us know he is ready for his can food. He also loves to rough house with Dylan. He had his favorite tree outside that he loved to climb and his special spot just around the corner from the bird feeder. hmmm. He was the best cat and will be missed. R.I.P. 2007 - 2010
Vanessa was part of a stray litter that was born when I was living at Daddy's after Mama passed away. So I started to care, feed and love them. I can never have too many furbabies. When I moved to Turkey I thought it was best for her to stay at her home since Daddy loved her too. Vanessa always had a little of a mean streak in her ( nothing different from any other cat, though). But, you can't help but love her. She is the last of her litter. Since Daddy's passing she has come to live with us. Vanessa passed away 2013. She was 12 yrs. old. She was deeply loved and will be greatly missed. She was such a special girl. R.I.P 2001-2013
Dylan's only mission in life is to seek and destroy any toy he gets. The only thing he hasn't been able to destroy is his basketball. He loves to run around the yard with that. He is very affectionate and loves to be near at all times. His favorite hobby is chasing Taylor around.
Dixie is a red brindle pie bald mini dachshund. She loves to be near at all times. She loves Dylan. She has turned into that "pesky" little sister. But he loves her. If Dylan is under the covers, so is she. If he is out of the covers, so is she. She loves to play fight with him. She loves to give kisses and she loves, loves, loves her treats. She loves her bones and her ball, too.
Aka Screwy Louie, Lou Lou, Louie Louie. He is the newest member of our family. He was found by the highway in Louisiana while we were passing through. He is the most loving, friendliest, happy cat. He loves to jump high up on the furniture. He loves to run around with Dixie. And he loves to eat.
Seymour is a bundle of cuteness. We found him in the parking lot of a Burger King. He loves to run around and is very fast.
Sophie decided she wanted to live here with us so she camped out on our front porch. She is such a sweet kitty. Very loving. She is about 5 1/2 months old.
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you .
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old. You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them.Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.. We do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs!
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown.
If it be I grow frail and weak,
And pain should wake me from my sleep.
Then you must do what must be done.
For this last battle can't be won.
You will be sad,I'll understand.
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest.
Your love and friendship stand the test.
We've had so many happy years.
What is to come will hold no fears.
You'll not want me to suffer,so,
When the time comes, please let me go.
I know in time, you too will see,
It is a kindness you do me.
Although my tail its last has waved.
From pain and suffering, I've been saved.
Do not grieve that it should be you.
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years.
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

For a while, coach David Stephenson's defensive strategy worked nearly to perfection.
Augusta's boys basketball team faced the tough challenge of No. 3-ranked Abilene Friday for the Orioles' home opener. The Cowboys had a much bigger, taller group of players, but the Orioles' defense befuddled them for most of the first half.
That success didn't last all game, though. Abilene's size was too much to slow down the whole game as the Cowboys, coached by former Augusta coach Terry Taylor, won big 64-50.
"We did what we could. We executed," Stephenson said of the Orioles' defensive effort. "We knew we were going to give up some stuff inside, but we worked a lot on guarding some of their sets, which are a lot like our sets. We did all right. They just kind of wore us down rebounding-wise."
Chase Winter hit a 3-pointer on a pass from Kyler Steinkamp right from the opening tip, and neither team took much time waiting to kick it into high gear. Abilene scored on some putbacks off missed shots in transition. Kolton Schenker and Connor Hurst both hit nice pull-up jump shots as the teams traded leads throughout the first quarter.
Augusta came down with seven steals in the first half, most of the which were from post entry passes that Abilene couldn't connect. The Orioles stayed aggressive to try and negate the Cowboys' size advantage.
As the game wore on, it was Abilene's depth advantage that took its toll. The Cowboys didn't lose much size with their bench players, and the putback opportunities kept creeping on Augusta. Abilene finished with 16 second-chance points and a 39-29 rebounding edge.
Augusta led 23-16 after a Schenker layup, but Abilene buckled down and had an 8-0 run and led 31-29 at halftime.
"We have a couple spurts where we let our mental focus get away," Stephenson said. "Against the No. 3 team in the state, it cost us eight points just like that."
Abilene mixed in some zone and press defenses to slow down Augusta's attack. Though the Orioles only had seven turnovers, they didn't get many clean looks at the basket. That's largely in part because of Abilene's Jacob Harms, who is 6-foot-8, and Trevor Witt, who is 6-foot-7 and came off the bench.
Steinkamp made two 3-pointers and led Augusta with 14 points. Schenker had eight. Brandon Smith had seven.
Augusta travels to play Circle Tuesday night.

Revision as of 16:50, February 4, 2012
The present State of Alaska within the United States of America was the site of the first Orthodox Christian liturgy held in the western hemisphere. The liturgy was conducted aboard the ship St. Peter, that was anchored in Alaskan coastal waters, on July 20, 1741, the Feast day of St. Elias. For the next one hundred years Alaska was the center of Orthodox evangelization among the indigenous population in Alaska, until the arrival in North America of the Orthodox immigration from the predominantly Orthodox lands of eastern Europe in the late nineteenth century.
During the sixteenth century Russian frontiersmen, called promyshlenniki, advanced eastward from European Russia in search of valuable fur bearing animals for the fur trade. The advance of these fur hunters was followed quickly by fur traders, merchants, and missionaries of the Orthodox Church. Sixty years after the Cossack Ermak crossed the Ural Mountains in 1579, the Cossack Dimitri Kopylov reached the Pacific Ocean, in 1639, at the sea now known as the Sea of Okhotsk. The promyshlenniki had traveled within a life time eastward about 5,800 miles, across the length of the Asian continent.
Over the following years, the Russians consolidated their possession of this Asian territory, now known as Siberia, and established trade relations with China, to the south. As the presence of Russians increased so did the Church. As the Russian frontier advanced eastward a fork southward occurred when the Albazin fortress on the Amur River was taken by the Chinese. This defeat in 1685 brought Orthodox Cossacks as prisoners to a settlement in Beijing that led to establishment of a China Mission. The Treaty of Nerchinsk, signed in 1589, formalized Russian trade and boundaries with China and provided an impetus to advance further to the east, on to the peninsula of Kamchatka.
In 1719, Tsar Peter I ordered an expedition to Kamchatka to settle the question of whether Asia and north America were joined or not. This expedition was unsuccessful. Peter was so obsessed to have a precise answer to this question before he died that he ordered a second, larger expedition. This one was to be led by the Dane Vitus Bering. Before the expedition could start Tsar Peter died. After Peter's death in 1725, the order for the expedition was continued by his widow, Catherine I.
Following the route pioneered by Kopylov in 1639, the Vitus Bering led expedition that took a year and a half to reach Okhotsk, arriving in the fall of 1727. Bering moved on to Kamchatka the following spring. Here his expedition built a boat, named Saint Gabriel, that sailed north along the Siberian coast looking for evidence of the American continent. After searching for two months he convinced himself that the two continents were not joined, but he had not sighted the American coast. Returning to St Petersburg, Bering was criticized for not physically confirming the separation of the continents. A new expedition was formed that finally sailed in June 1741 from the base on the Kamchatka peninsula, named Petropavlovsk, in two small square rigged ships, the Saint Peter and Saint Paul, commanded by Bering and Captain-Lieutenant Alexis Chirikov respectively. Separated by the foggy gloom of the northern seas, the St Peter, with Bering on board, arrived on July 16, 1741 at the Alaskan coast with a view of the snow covered mountains that were to be named the Saint Elias Mountain Range. On the same day Chirikov on board the Saint Paul discovered Sitka Bay.
On July 20, 1741, which was the feast day of St Elias, hieromonk Illarion Trusov, assisted by priest Ignaty Kozirevsky, celebrated a liturgy in thanks for their success. This was the first Orthodox Liturgy held in the western hemisphere.
On the return to Petropavlovsk, the St Peter wrecked on an island where Vitus Bering died and which now bears his name. Over the next fifty years promyshlenniki continued to visit the Aleutian Islands and southern Alaska. Many brought their Orthodox Christian faith with them that influenced the indigenous natives with whom they worked. In 1784, the merchant Gregory Shelikov established a permanent colony at Three Saints Harbor (now known as Old Harbor) on Kodiak Island. On September 24, 1794, eight monks from Valaam Monastery arrived to evangelized the native population thus beginning the spread of Orthodox Christianity in the New World.

Problems in Butler and surrounding townships persist and worsen with every passing year.
The litter problem persists. We need to start a program to adopt a neighborhood litter control like the state Adopt a Highway.
The problem of skateboarders and bicyclists on pedestrian sidewalks persists, with no enforcement of the fines posted.
The city and townships need to realize that any burning of fires that are not used to grill food should be prohibited in neighborhoods where houses are too close to each other. Wood, paper and trash fires are toxic, pollute the air and cause breathing problems for people with COPD or other upper respiratory problems.
Butler must start and enforce a curfew for the nighttime. Unsupervised kids of all ages are out carrying on and disturbing the peace past midnight. Round up the kids, find their negligent parents and fine those parents $100 a night for curfew violations.
Revitalization will never succeed in any city or township if these problems persist uncorrected. Our crime problem will worsen too, as more drug users and pushers continue to live and operate here. Butler is not safe anymore, day or night.
If people would just live by the rule of doing to others as you would want others to do to you, maybe things would be better and Butler County would be like it was When my parents and grandparents lived and grew up here in the 1940s, '50s and early '60s. Those decades were a lot more civilized than the 2000s. We can turn things around and have a great society if we work at limiting the kinds of problems I've consistently written about in the past few years. If not, then we have only ourselves to blame for the problems that make life miserable and places unlivable.

I have been following the situation between horse owners and the Equine Angels Rescue in the Butler Eagle, not knowing what really to believe. It wasn't until the last rescue of the Missouri fox trotters that I was motivated to find out for myself what is the truth.
One late afternoon about 10 days after these horses were taken there, I made an unannounced visit to the Equine Angels facility. Volunteers greeted me with smiles as they were cleaning stalls and moving hay. I met briefly with director Pam Vivirito and asked if I could just walk around to see the facility, but I specifically asked to see the fox trotters.
I took my time and stopped to visit each one of the horses. I was saddened and my heart sank as I saw their sunken-in bodies. These horses were visibly weak and malnourished. Ribs, hips and backbones were clearly visible. Some mares had foals that were still dependent on them for nourishment, as well.
Clearly, the condition of these horses did not deteriorate overnight. I asked myself how could anyone let this go on? For me, I found the truth that day. The evidence of neglect was right in front of me.
As far as the horse owner filing a lawsuit against Equine Angels Rescue, accusing them of harming reputations to get publicity for generating donations, I think not. If anyone has harmed this horse owner's reputation, she has already done that on her own.
Most of all, I do hope people can work together for the betterment of these horses. They seem to be the only ones without a voice.

Revision as of 14:33, 25 March 2013
The Build Node Deployment Guide provides instructions for deploying an OpenStack Build Node. The Build Node consists of several software components used to automate the deployment and management of an OpenStack environment.
The Build Node is based on the following software versions:
- Ubuntu: 12.04
- Cobbler: 2.2.2-0ubuntu33
- Puppet: 2.7.11
- NTP: 1:4.2.6.p3+dfsg-1ubuntu3.1
Ensure you have met the following prerequisites:
- Make sure you have tested network connectivity. The Build Node needs to download packages over the Internet to complete the installation.
- Download the Ubuntu Precise ISO to a location that can be accessed by the Build Node CIMC: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.1-server-amd64.iso
- Before starting the installation process, ensure that RAID is configured if a RAID Controller is present.
- Create a DNS entry for the name of the Build Node. Note: By default Puppet Agents expect to register to the Puppet Master with the name puppet. If the name of the Build Node is not puppet, ensure puppet.conf is configured with the correct name of the Build Node. This is typically accomplished using the cobbler-node.pp file.
- Time synchronization is required for proper operation of the system. Ensure you have at least one NTP server where nodes can pull time. Note: The default preseed file uses the UTC time zone, so ensure UTC is used for the Build Node or make the appropriate changes to the preseed file.
Starting the Ubuntu Installation
Open your web browser and log into the Cisco UCS CIMC of the Build Node.
Select BIOS under the Server tab and ensure that the boot order starts with CD/DVD and then Hard Disk. Note: Since the Build Node is being built manually; PXE Boot is not a necessary boot option.
Launch the Virtual KVM and accept any security warnings that may appear.
Mount the Ubuntu Precise ISO by selecting the Virtual Media tab, click Add Image… and browse to the location of the Ubuntu Precise ISO previously downloaded (from the Prerequisites Section). Lastly, make sure the Mapped check box is checked.
Reboot the node.
The server will reboot and should boot from the Ubuntu ISO. You will be presented with a screen to install Ubuntu Server 12.04.
Select Install Ubuntu Server from the Main Menu.
Select your desired language.
Select your desired Country or Territory.
From the Configure the keyboard menu, select <No> to Detect keyboard layout.
Select your desired country from Configure the keyboard > Country of Origin.
Select your desired language from Configure the keyboard > Keyboard layout.
Ubuntu Installation Network Settings
From Configure the network menu, select eth0 as your Primary network interface:
- Your server will dynamically receive IP addressing information if DHCP is configured for the network connecting to your primary network interface.
- If DHCP is not configured or working properly on the network connecting to your primary interface, the installation will notify you:
Hit return to continue if you are not using DHCP or wish to retry network auto configuration.
Select configure network manually
Note: We recommend configuring the Build Node with static network settings even if DHCP is used during the installation process.
Enter the IP address you wish to assign to the Build Node. The installer will automatically assign .1 as the gateway. Change if necessary. Otherwise hit return to continue the installation.
Enter the IP address(es) for up to 3 name (DNS) servers. Separate the DNS server IP addresses by spaces, not commas. Your server will query the name servers in the order entered. Leave this field blank if you will not use name servers, or you wish to add the name servers at a later time.
Note: Name resolution is required for the proper operation of several services within a multi-node OpenStack deployment. Add static records for OpenStack nodes in the /etc/hosts file if a DNS Server will not be used.
Enter the hostname (a single word) that identifies your system. The hostname should match the associated DNS Host record entry (referenced in the Prerequisites Section).
Enter the Domain Name that the server will belong to. Note: Make sure you use the same Domain Name for all your OpenStack Nodes.
Select the desired location for your Ubuntu archive mirror country. These mirrors provide repositories and archives of all software for the Ubuntu distribution.
Confirm the name of your Ubuntu archive mirror.
Enter Proxy information if you need to use a Proxy to get to the Internet or leave it blank and hit enter if none. Proxy information should be provided in the standard form: http://[[user][:password]@]host[:port]/
The installer will begin loading additional software components.
The installer will automatically detect your time zone. Make sure you select UTC (last option in list) as the time zone. This is important as the default Cobbler preseed for nodes is UTC and time much be synchronized across all nodes. Make sure to modify the preseed template in the cobbler::preseed manifest if you use a timezone other than UTC
Ubuntu Installation: Hard Disk Settings
The installer will begin detecting hard disks and hardware components. Note: If RAID is configured properly, only a single disk that represents the RAID Group should appear in the detected hard drive list.
You are then presented with options for partitioning your local hard disk. Select the Guided – use entire disk option and hit return.
Accept the warning message about lost data on the disk.
Select <Yes> to write the changes to disk and hit return.
The installer will then create the file system and install the base system.
Ubuntu Installation: User Account Settings
Create a Real Name (ex> John Doe) for the user account. This is the account used for not administrative (root) purposes.
Select a username for the new account. Note: We use localadmin as the username in our documentation.
Provide and verify password for the new username. Note: We use ubuntu as the password in our documentation.
Select no to the encrypt your home directory option. The software installation process will begin.
Ubuntu Installation: Configuring Discover Setting
Select No to the automatic updates option from the Configuring discover menu
Ubuntu Installation: Software Selection Settings
Only select OpenSSH server from Choose software to install list.
Ubuntu Installation: GRUB Boot Loader Setting
Select <Yes> to install the GRUB boot loader to the master boot record.
Ubuntu Installation: Finish the Installation
Your installation is now complete. Select <Continue> complete the Ubuntu 12.04 Server installation.
Ubuntu Installation: Post Installation
Click on the UCS Virtual Media tab to remove the Ubuntu 12.04 ISO.
Click on the UCS KVM tab to view the booting process.
- Note: Verify your BIOS setting (C-Series) or boot policy (UCS B-Series) if your server does not select the local hard drive as the first boot device.
After the server reboots, login using the Virtual KVM Console or through SSH.
Apply software updates. Note: preface commands with sudo if you do not have root privileges.
apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y
Restart the system
reboot now
Ping the ip address of the Build Node to see when it comes back from reboot
ping <build_node_ip_addr>
When you begin receiving ping replies, SSH to the Build Node IP address
ssh localadmin@<build_node_ip_addr>
Cisco Repository and Packages Installation
Skip the steps in this section except the Additional Required Packages if you will be deploying an Essex High Availability OpenStack environment.
1. After the Build Node has rebooted and you have logged-in, add one of the following Cisco Mirror repositories.
apt-get install python-software-properties -y # For OpenStack Folsom Release add-apt-repository ppa:cisco-openstack-mirror/cisco-folsom # For OpenStack Essex Release add-apt-repository ppa:cisco-openstack-mirror/cisco apt-get update
2. Now that the Cisco Mirror repo has been added, install the Cisco Puppet Modules (installed into /usr/share/puppet/modules).
apt-get install puppet-openstack-cisco
3. Optionally, you can install the following packages.
- Documentation (installed into /usr/share/doc/cisco-openstack-docs):
apt-get install cisco-openstack-docs
- Utilities' (installed into /usr/share/doc/cisco-openstack-utils):
apt-get install cisco-openstack-utils
- Additional Required Packages
apt-get install ntp puppet git ipmitool -y
If your cisco-openstack-utils package does not include the clean_node.sh script, then pull cisco-openstack-docs directly from the Cisco GitHub repository.

I put a new page up about zen books that don't suck. It'll be a permanent link on this page. I did that for two reasons. One was that people keep asking me for recommendations on what to read. I don't intend for this to be a comprehensive list of the good Zen books. There are a bunch I forgot that I'll probably put up there someday, like Charlotte Joko Beck's Everyday Zen: Love and Workand a few others.
I tend to avoid answering questions about what books to read because certain people think that Zen can be understood by reading about it. But it really can't. And yet, good books can be an important part of practice. Which is the second reason I put that page up there.
I remember early on in my study of Zen I read some book — maybe it was Buddha is the Center of Gravity by Joshu Sasaki, maybe it was someone else — anyway, this Zen teacher recommended his students to read a lot of good books. "What books are good?" his students asked. He said something like, "books that have stood the test of time." That's a pretty good answer. You can't go too wrong with stuff like Shobogenzo or the Heart Sutra or the Lotus Sutra or the recorded talks of Buddha. Books like that have been around long enough that they've garnered a certain degree of trust. In some cases the original words themselves have been changed by later copyists and, in many cases, significantly improved in the process.
Modern books are trickier. Trends come and go. Some writers are very good at hooking into the mindset of the times and making something that sounds pretty "spiritual" when it's really just trash.
I've told this story before. But once a few years ago someone wrote me and recommended some modern spiritual master's books, which he said were "so stilling, so present." I read some of the stuff and, indeed, I did feel the quality this guy had described as "stilling." But I also found myself becoming kind of envious of that teacher's amazing experiences and feeling that I was somehow inadequate because I wasn't as "high" as this teacher wanted me to think he, the teacher, was. There was something very wrong. There are lots of "stilling" books out there. But many of them are also trying to sell you something.
I started thinking hard about books and how they fit into practice when I recently took a job as a freelance copy editor for a Japanese publisher of New Age books. I know. It sounds pretty much like selling out. But all they wanted was someone who could fix up these books so that the rough English translations matched the original Japanese. What I found, though, was that the authors could be very persuasive and that some of their often rather warped worldview began creeping into mine. One of these authors said that the Heart Sutra was full of evil Taoist spells and that chanting it could be dangerous. For about 2.7 seconds I found myself wondering if he could be right. Uh oh, I said…
Then when I was driving back from San Francisco I heard this radio show all about the first and second performances of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. Apparently at the first performance the audience rioted. The guy who talked about this theorized that the piece was so dissonant and atonal that it screwed with people's brains. Their brains were trying so hard to deal with sound that to them sounded disorganized that they just went temporarily crazy. A year later the piece was performed again. But this time the audience was prepared for it and they just sat peacefully and applauded at the end. Twenty odd years later the same piece of music appeared in Disney's Fantasia , a family film for children. Kind of reminded me of what's happened to punk rock over the past twenty years.
This got me thinking about how these kinds of stimuli can affect us. Certainly reading a book like Shobogenzo can actually alter a person's perception of reality. Science fiction author Philip K. Dick talked about this and even experimented with it in his own books. Reading something like his books Ubik, The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritchor Time Out of Jointwas as jolting to me as a teenager as any acid trip. Maybe more so. Later on Shobogenzo affected me in a very profound way as well. Of course, Dick was a paranoid amphetamine addict and Dogen was not, which also makes a huge difference. Dick had insights, but didn't really know what to make of them.
Dogen warned against romanticizing old Zen stories where people suddenly burn all their books and devote themselves just to zazen. To Dogen these examples might have been right for those people, but that approach couldn't be applied universally. Reading and listening to teachers does have a place in practice. It's only when things get out of balance that there's a problem, like when you get too into reading and listening to teachers or, conversely, too into practice alone. People who get into a teacherless Zen practice often get way too full of themselves because the ego will grab hold of absolutely anything to enrich its position, including glimpses of its own unreality. Ironic, but true.
Anyway, all of this bullshit is just to say that good books can be good for Zen practice.
Happy reading!

ASPEN The family of a missing skier is consulting with psychics to help guide search efforts by the ski patrol and volunteers at Aspen Highlands ski resort.
A search for the third consecutive day Tuesday failed to lead to the discovery of Jeff Walker, 55, of Aspen.
The Pitkin County Sheriffs Office and Mountain Rescue Aspen suspended their search at the end of the day Monday, but the Aspen Highlands ski patrol said it will continue to look for Walker.
Weve got some strong feelings that hes still alive, said Liz Sathe, Walkers girlfriend.
She said Walkers family consulted with three psychics after intensive search efforts Sunday and Monday failed to yield any clues about Walkers whereabouts.
Sathe said information from the psychics about the type of terrain where Walker might be was provided to Aspen Skiing Co. for the search Tuesday, which was centered around the last ski lift where Walker checked in.
Ski company spokesman Jeff Hanle said the patrol is taking every lead seriously.
The search was expanded to the out-of-bounds areas on the Maroon Bowl side of the ski area Wednesday.
Walkers last known location was a scan of his ski pass at the base chairlift last Thursday, authorities said. He was reported missing Saturday evening.
The search has included eight teams of search dogs, a helicopter and dozens of volunteers in addition to authorities.

COLDWATER � Thursday afternoon, a semi truck hauling gypsum, a lime fertilizer, was traveling east on U.S. 12 heading to Sturgis when the semi drifted over the white line catching the accumulation of wet dirt and ice.
The semi tipped onto its side 1 mile east of Bronson.
"I'm�OK, but I'm a bit shaken up," said the driver of the semi.
With the semi on its side in the east bound lane and gypsum spilling onto the side of the road, traffic was down to one lane. Michigan State Police Trooper Jim Gochaour was one of the first to arrive at the scene.
"A heavy wrecker will be responding to the scene and will be here in about 45 minutes," said Gochaour. "They have to evaluate the damage and based on how long it takes to strap the truck and haul it out will determine clean-up time.
The Branch County Road Commission was also on scene to aid the police in directing traffic.
"We have two more guys coming out to help. We put up signs and help with the flow of traffic � help as much as we can," said Larry Collins of the BCRC.
No one was injured in the accident.

after 15 years, I'm giving up on me lil GTI VR6. Its been nice not having a car payment for about a decade, but six visits to the shop in the last year have beaten me down.
So now the process of finding a new car begins. Anyone want to rant or rave on a ride? Yes, I know a M3 is a killer ride, no I don't have that kinda scratch. Haven't had a payment in so long, I feel no need to saddle myself with a 500 dollar a month anchor.
Lets hear what ya got...I might spend 15K, might spend 30K. Not sure if I will buy American or not, but the fusion and the Dart are gonna be the first test drives. (yeah, Im gonna drive everything since i have no idea what i want)
edit: oops forgot I already drove the Camry, so I guess its the leader out of the gates.
