Baseball season preview.
One of the high school Spring sports that has the same coach from last season, WHS Baseball, isn't absent of changes for 2013.
"You're going to see a lot of new faces," said third-year Head Coach, Jesse Dale. "We return three guys that received some sort of league honors last season, Alex Weiss, Noah Wolff, and Blane Anderson." Those players, all seniors along with Loren Farley are the only returners with significant experience after the team lost a big batch of seniors from a year ago. The team also lost Nick Becker, senior, who was a Second Team All-State third baseman his junior year. He'll be swinging a golf club instead of a bat this Spring.
Aside from the new faces, the team has hassled with weather conflicts in the early days of practice.
"The Monday we were supposed to start, we started getting all those snow days," Dale said. "...So we're a little behind in that respect, we're just trying to get everything covered before we open up." The Crusaders start their season in Rose Hill on March 25.
"It's a little bit of a tough date, since it's the Monday after we get back from Spring Break," the coach noted, saying there will be practices in the latter part of this week. "It makes those Spring Break practices that much more important because you don't have any time to get back into the routine of coming to school and going to practice right after and all that." In the time that the baseball team has gotten to practice, they have conducted a couple of scrimmages to help the coaches fill the depth chart.
"We've got 38 kids out...that's really a pretty good number for us," Dale said. Last season, the Crusaders batted .269 as a team, lead by Weiss who averaged .408; accounting for 26 runs, 31 hits, 13 RBI's and one homerun.
Anderson will be the player to watch on the mound, he amassed a 3-2 record as the team went 12-9 in 2012. His ERA was 2.20, which was a team best, Anderson also threw 33 strikes a season ago, second only to Weiss who pitched 43. Anderson will also spend time at third this year in Becker's absence.
The home-opener for the Crusaders is set for Thursday, March 28, a double-header against Mulvane, starting at 4 p.m., which is the first in a three-game home-stand. But first, it's a double at Rose Hill at 4 p.m. this coming Monday.
"Our game plan really doesn't change a whole lot," Dale said. "We've got to be really, really sound defensively and execute offensively...We're going to run the bases aggressively." A lot of the power-hitters from last season graduated, so the coaching staff is focusing on the fundamentals to get the team ready for the season.
"We're going to have to do all the little things," Dale said. "We're going to have to bunt the ball well, and run the bases well, and sure as heck going to have to pitch it well."

Luke Haynes – textile artist and quiltmaker – yarnbombed this house / storefront on Capitol Hill in Seattle , Washington on Sat . Sept 25 with a group of 17 yarnbombers . The yarnbombing was to prepare for the opening of bookstore .
3 Great Things About This
1 . This building is going to be the space for a new bookstore – " Ada's Technical Books " . The owner Danielle Hultonsaid contacted Luke Haynes and asked him to make an art installation to herald the immanent coming of the bookstore . She told him to do what ever he wanted . He decided to do a communal yarnbomb .
2 . Luke Haynes solicited yarnbombers to help him on Facebook . He also asked people passing by . That's the part I like – I'm thinking of standing around on the street and asking people going by if they want to yarnbomb .
3 . The idea was that the yarnbombing would draw Seattle neighbors over to contemplate the house and the knitting and that would tune them into the feeling that something warm and wonderful was coming . Luke Haynes also wanted this to be art made by the people of Seattle and not just by one singular artist .
Creative Secret ; This yarnbomb was made by open invitation to anyone who wanted to knit or crochet or sew – anyone could work – but the complete idea was held in the mind of the artist Luke Haynes . So many people love to make art and to work with a group . This can happen very successfully if one person steadily holds the idea and thoughtfully arranges all the varying elements .
Aesthetics : The entire store was yarnbombed – inside and out with knitting , crocheting and – most unusually – quilts . The effect is compelling , charming and suffocating . It has a quality of being boarded up and protected , comforted after being abandoned . The words 'Hello World " are embroidered on the front of the house which is what a wordpress blog says when you first start one – this yarnbombing is the beginning of communication by the bookstore .
Some of the knitting and crocheting was made new for this installation and some of it was from Luke Haynes storehouse . He's known with his art for covering the inside of a house with used clothes as part of " Mad House " art project .
This installation on Capitol Hill takes yarnbombing a little further along from just ' How fun ! " to a comment on our desire to acquire more clothes , quilts , afghans , textiles , stuff – and our desire to give it all away .

Welcome to a new Monday and a new meme.
In the year 1647, some 364 years ago in some Polish parish somewhere, was a priest with some free time at the end of the year 1646 or the beginning of 1647 and of course a good bit of artistic talent.
Stanczyk laughs at the priest's macabre sense of whimsy. Forgive me that I forgot last year to capture the note of where I found this "artwork". I am sure it was in a Digital Library or Archive and not from some microfilm I was viewing (see the red border).
Here in the USA, we have had a long tradition of viewing the New Year as a baby and the Old Year as an old man (usually with a long beard). But skeletons, one of which holds the Grim Reapers scythe??? Of course, I approve the use of an hourglass as a metaphor for the passage of time. Such embellishments and details. Perhaps he was reminiscing the old year's (1646) significant passings :
- March 11 – Stanisław Koniecpolski, Polish soldier and statesman (b. c. 1592)
- December 22 – Peter Mogila, Orthodox Metropolitan of Kiev and Galicia (b. 1596)
At any rate, as I was reviewing my collection of digital pics from Church Books, it occurred to me that I have a new repeating meme: Embellishments, Oddities, and Notations found in Church Metrical Books.
I foresee discussing priestly entries (if I can find them,) such a notation about a meteorite that struck in the local parish. I also will include examples of marginalia or possibly end of year notations that a priest makes — one of which affects my family tree.
Meanwhile … it is time for some hot coffee. Talk to you later (God Willing) …

Fitness gifts that will really get used
Fitness gifts that friends and loved ones will really use are harder to come by than you might think – there are plenty of things out there that companies label as "fitness" gear, but as anyone who works out will tell you, a lot of it is just junk that winds up at the bottom of the closet (running books might be a notable exception).
When something stands the test of time, that's when I start shelling out the bucks and sharing. These are a few items that passed this year:
Music-friendly ear muffs
Keeping your ears toasty while hiking or running can be an exercise in frustration when earbuds are involved – sometimes it's too warm to wear a hat or hoodie, but your ears get cold, and yet, we also want the tunes along. The Exolite 180s Ear Warmers are ideal, because they're lightweight and fold up by twisting the earpieces sideways, so that they lie flat in a pocket, and they are ingeniously designed so your earbuds can slip comfortably under the flaps. There are also women-specific models, Bluetooth-friendly and versions with fur. Bonus: The flaps are removable for washing. Cost: starting at $35.
Cold-weather headwear
Lucy makes exercise wear for women, but the company's Reverse the Cold and Brave the Cold hats are especially fabulous, in part because each has a smart and durable slit that will accommodate a ponytail – crucial for allowing the wearer with long hair to snug the thing all the way down and actually keep her head warm. And if you don't need it, you won't even notice it's there. The hats come in black, grays, blue and green, in sweat-wicking fabrics. Cost: $25-$29
Muscle cramps no more
Regular exercisers should be looking at massage as a necessity, not a day at the spa, but in lieu of or between a good rub-down, the next best thing is an all-over workout with a foam roller. Gaiam offers a variety of sizes, densities and lengths, each of which can target differing muscle groups to release tension and improve alignment, as well as be used for exercises, toning and stretching. Cost: $10-$45
Getting to the heart of the matter
Knowing your heart rate is one of the single most effective tools for analyzing your workout and improving it. Garmin's FR70 heart rate monitor is one of the easiest on the market to use, a straightforward setup that tracks your heart, time and calories, with optional add-ons for distance and speed as well as cycling. Upload the data to your computer for further study, or connect to others to bolster your efforts. Cost: basic unit starts at $130, add-ons at $70

The only nonprofit agency in the region that offers treatment for children and adults with serious developmental issues is in trouble, local officials say.
The only nonprofit agency in the region that offers treatment for children and adults with serious developmental issues is in trouble, local officials say.
"We've never had to ask for a handout in 20 years or for assistance from the community," said Greg Gleason, director of Options for Independence, a community-based social service agency in Houma. "But it's getting to the point where if we are going to stay in business like we want to stay in business, we're going to need some partnerships within the community — that's a no-brainer."
Options, located on La. 311 adjacent to the Terrebonne Mental Health Center, primarily serves adolescents and adults who are mentally ill or have other serious behavioral issues. On average, Options works with about 200 children and their families at any given time. However, services for adults are almost nonexistent with a waiting list of about 80 people.
Gleason said cuts to nonprofits are nothing new, "but this is probably the most extreme we've ever seen. The cuts are going pretty deep."
Any child who goes through the court system and tests positive for narcotics is court-ordered to go to Options, Gleason said.
Resources for Options' Medicaid-funded adolescent substance-abuse program, however, has been cut in half, which has Gleason concerned, especially with synthetic drug cases on the rise.
"Youth crisis-intervention services are one of the greatest needs in the area to protect any community from long-term problems," Gleason said. "Substance abuse affects everything."
Houma resident Brian Gilbert's 16-year-old son was court-ordered to attend Options for substance abuse issues.
"The program helps kids and parents communicate with each other," Gilbert said. "My son would probably be out on the streets getting in trouble without this program. A lot of adolescents on the streets right now have nowhere to turn to except here."
The community should be concerned about losing Options because it improves the quality of life for everyone, said Misty Robichaux, one of Options' program supervisors.
"Isn't it a comfort to know that there are agencies that these kids can go to who need extra support to make a safer environment for everyone else?" Robichaux said. "If we didn't have programs like this, there would be no place for these kids to go, and I just can't imagine what that would be like for them."
Robichaux added that the school system doesn't necessarily have the specialized training and resources to deal with the severe behavioral issues typical of children at Options.
Options for Independence is one example of a community-based nonprofit that Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has surmised can help take the brunt of the state's overhauling of public mental health services.
But Gleason said providing treatment to people already enrolled at Options, especially if they don't have insurance, is becoming increasingly difficult.
"In the past, having insurance was not even an issue," he said. "If you showed up here, we serviced you. We would worry about how to pay for it later — but not anymore."
In an email sent by the state Department of Health and Hospitals, the department emphasized that children can get intensive behavioral health services through the Louisiana Behavioral Health Partnership operated by Magellan, a private company the state turned to in March to coordinate behavioral health care services across the state using Medicaid money.
The lion's share of money for Options now comes from Magellan. However, Gleason said Magellan's service rates aren't high enough to provide services properly. Moreover, Magellan doesn't take into account travel expenses in a rural area, Gleason said. Options covers the entire tri-parish region and provides services remotely to individuals who don't have transportation.
Without more support from the state, Gleason said he doesn't know how much longer Options can maintain its business.
"Will it be soon? I can't answer that. I won't do it. We just keep taking them in. But there will come a time when we will have to start turning people away if we don't find a solution."
Though Gleason said he believes Magellan is on the right track, "their rate for services to adolescent substance abuse is horrible. And that is one of the things that has put us in the situation that we're in."
On the other hand, Gleason said Megellan, too, is burdened by state budget cuts, which were announced last month and include slashing money for health treatment and domestic violence programs to close a nearly $166 million budget gap.
David Precise, executive director of the National Alliance on Mental Illness, a grass-roots mental health advocacy organization, agrees.
"I wouldn't put the fault solely on Magellan," Precise said. "The bigger issue is larger cuts toward mental health in Louisiana. No matter how you look at it, our state spends less than half on mental health than any other average state does."
Precise said Magellan is having the difficult task of trying to implement a new system, and as quickly as possible.
"It's not feasible for them to keep up with the demand for services," he said. "And what that means is that a lot of people who need mental health services are going to suffer."
To offset costs, Gleason said he's had to get creative.
Options has recently partnered with Terrebonne Parish Public Schools, offering a day-treatment program for students.
Gleason said he's looking for similar opportunities and recognizes the need to create public awareness for Options during its fiscally tough times.
"Supportive dollars are the key to maintaining these children's programs," Gleason said. "Technically, the state is providing those Medicaid dollars, but it just isn't enough. If we had a little more of that supportive piece, these programs would take off."

My only childhood experience with figs came in the form of a Newton
My only childhood experience with figs came in the form of a Newton and, given that I was a child, I never thought much of them beyond that.
It wasn't until I got older that I learned that the "fig" in the Newton actually came from the figs in the produce section and that those figs offer us many unique benefits that should spur us to give them far more dietary attention.
A fig are unique in many ways, beginning with the fact that it bears its flowers on the inside, which makes it rely upon wasps to crawl inside it to pollinate it. This unique fertilization process is called parthenocarpy.
The second is that while most fruits and vegetables contain only small amounts of protein, figs supply an impressive amount — nearly 1 gram of protein per large piece.
Figs are also among the richest plant sources of calcium and fiber and according to USDA data for the Mission variety, dried figs are richest in fiber, copper, manganese, magnesium, potassium, calcium, and vitamin K, relative to human needs and have smaller amounts of many other nutrients, as well.
Figs also contain different types of antioxidants that have been shown in studies to raise antioxidant activity, which mop up those free radicals that can contribute to the development of cancer, heart disease and the visible signs of aging. The riper the fig, the more antioxidants it will contain.
Figs do have a slight laxative effect, so they should not be consumed in excess, particularly when dried.
There are hundreds of varieties, ranging in color from nearly black to almost white, and only the female fruits are edible.
Green varieties are normally reserved for drying.
Figs can be eaten whole and raw, including the seeds and the skin, and have a sweet, mild flavor.
Most commonly, figs are dried and then eaten as a sweet or rehydrated for use in cooking. However, there are many ways to enjoy that childhood fig flavor in different ways today.
Here are two different ways to indulge your body in the fabulous health benefits of figs.
Fancy figs
12 dried figs
1/3 cup toasted almonds, chopped
1/2 cup dark chocolate, chopped
In a small pot over low heat, place chocolate and stir constantly until chocolate melts into a velvety, smooth liquid. One at a time, hold a fig by its stem and dip it in the chocolate first, then coat with almonds. Place dipped figs on waxed paper- lined tray. Place tray in refrigerator to set then return to room temperature before serving.

Festooned figs
16 dried figs
1/4 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1/4 cup fresh grated asiago cheese
Fresh ground pepper, to taste
16 toasted pecans
Balsamic glaze
In small bowl combine cheese and pepper. Using a small knife, make slit into the side of the dried figs Using your hands, stuff fig with about 1/2 teaspoon of cheese mixture then press a toasted pecan on top of it and press down. Line up on plate and drizzle with balsamic glaze right before serving.
Approximate servings per recipe: 16 Bites.

Radical anti-government patriot groups and militias, galvanized against gun control, will continue to grow even as the number of groups operating in the U.S. reached an all-time high in 2012, a report Tuesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center finds.
The center tracked 1,360 radical militias and anti-government groups in 2012, an eightfold increase over 2008, when it recorded 149 such groups. The explosive growth began four years ago, sparked by the election of President Barack Obama and anger about the poor economy, the center says. That growth is likely to continue as the groups recruit more members with a pro-gun message, the centers senior fellow Mark Potok said.
Obamas second term and a gun control movement bolstered by the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School is intensifying anti-government rage and will lead to more growth for the groups, Potok said.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil-rights advocacy group based in Montgomery, Ala., defines the patriot movement as groups of people who believe the federal government is conspiring to confiscate Americans guns and curtail liberties to create a socialist government or new order. Most are non-violent citizens groups. Some groups also include militias, which arm themselves and conduct military-style training, the center said.
Conservative critics say the center uses its rhetoric to undermine right-wing and conservative groups.
The Southern Poverty Law Center uses its extremism report as a way to raise funds, says Bill Hahn, a spokesman for the John Birch Society, a conservative, anti-communist group based in Appleton, Wis, that advocates limited government. The group is on the centers list of anti-government groups.
The center is very adept at creating the specter that armed groups will overthrow the government or that the continuously dying supremacy movement is lurking behind every rock, Hahn said in a written statement. The SPLC will continue to utilize fear to fill their bank accounts.
The John Birch Society opposes violence and urges its members to take action to restore and preserve constitutional freedoms, Hahn said.
Everett Wilkinson, whose Florida-based National Liberty Federation is not listed in the report, says many of the groups simply engage in peaceful rallies and letter-writing campaigns aimed at promoting free markets, fiscal responsibility and limited government.
The Southern Perversion Law Center is a liberal organization that likes to spread propaganda about right-wing and conservative groups, Wilkinson said.

I used to bake...when I was thinner...
I used to love to bake. I was in 4-H and won Food Exhibtor three times! I baked Angel Food Cakes, Carmmel Rolls, bread, and jelly rolls. I was also 70lbs lighter.
I had to bake some goodies the other day for our Christmas with the in-laws (soundsl ike a bad movie). I made Sopilla Cream Cheese and a Sugar Cookie Cake. I made them at the last minute hoping that would keep me from eating each and every bite. My husband even told me that no one wanted to eat half eaten desserts.
The house smelled awesome! Just as it should during Christmas baking. As it came out of the oven it was tempted to just sit down with a fork and eat, but I didn't. I did test small corner of each dessert just to make sure it tasted alright, which even my mother-in-law told me they were both very good!
Hate to say it, but I'm a little proud of myself. It's good to know that I have developed some sort of self control! Now, bring on the rest of the Christmas with the in-laws!

For offroad use only. The following must be considered when using Bassett wheels for on highway/street use when the wheel/tire assembly is being balanced. Bassett wheels are lug centric, which means they are built off of, and must be balanced using, the bolt circle and NOT the wheel center hole. Improper use of a tire balancer that centers the wheel on the hub bore, not the bolt circle, will result in an incorrect reading for rim runout as the center hole is not in the perfect center of the bolt pattern. The only machine capable of performing a lug centric balance is the Hunter GSP 9700 with the flange plate bolt circle adapter and no centering cone.

It's a new year, but the impassioned debate over motorized access to public lands isn't going away.
In early December, Dolores District Ranger Derek Padilla released a final decision - Modified Alternative D - for travel in the Boggy-Glade landscape, on San Juan National Forest land north of Dolores.
The document triggered a 45-day appeal period, ending Jan. 25.
To have legal standing for an appeal, an individual or advocacy group had to submit a written comment earlier in the review process.
One prominent dissenting voice is Casey McClellen, cofounder of the pro-motorized group Timberline Trail Riders.
Before the Montezuma County Board of Commissioners Monday, McClellan decried the loss of terrain accessible to dirt bike and ATV users.
"For 40 years, everything was fine. Map after map was consistent. Practically overnight, it changed," he said. "It seems like an abuse (of authority). (Forest managers) have a mandate to designate, not close off entire sections. It's just unnecessary."
Padilla and Deborah Kill, an environmental policy analyst with the Dolores Public Lands Center, were present to answer questions.
Comments from the public were factored in, Padilla said. He acknowledged that the majority were pro-motorized use.
"But it isn't really a democracy," he said, elaborating that because national forests are multiuse, rangers have to balance competing interests - timber, rangeland grazing, mining, recreation - with soil, watershed and wildlife health.
"It's truly a balancing act going on," Padilla said.
McClellan argued that "by whittling the number of trails down to a select few, you're putting a lot of pressure on the ones left over."
Monday was the first official public meeting for new commissioners Keenan Ertel and Larry Don Suckla, who were sworn in last week. The commissioners plan to file their own appeal against the Boggy-Glade decision before the deadline next Friday.
Aside from Boggy-Glade, the two other landscapes in the Dolores Ranger District are Mancos-Cortez (Haycamp Mesa, Transfer Area, Echo Basin) and Rico-West Dolores (Rico, Bear Creek, Calico, Burnett Creek, Willow-Divide, Black Mesa, Ryman Creek). Travel management is already in effect in Mancos-Cortez, as there was no appeal. The Rico-West Dolores decision was successfully appealed and remanded, meaning sent back to the Ranger District for further analysis and edits.
Montezuma County will have a new attorney for the first time in more than a quarter century.
By a 2-1 vote on Monday, the commission chose not to renew the contract of Bob Slough, the county's legal counsel since 1987. New commissioner Ertel and the returning Steve Chappell voted to replace Slough, with Suckla, also newly seated, dissenting. Slough was not present during the vote.
Instead, the commission opted to offer Slough a new position as attorney for social services.
"Bob has a heart for dysfunctional families and for kids not doing well in society," said Chappell.
When asked Tuesday, Slough said he would decline the offer, but has no intentions to move from the area.
"I'm thankful to the people and to previous boards. They gave me the honor and privilege of serving (the county)," he said.
Chappell had complimentary words for Slough and emphasized the decision was not in response to any single incident.
"In no way do we mean to dishonor or imply anything negative about Bob Slough. He has an ocean of experience and has served the county well. The board just felt it was a good time for a change, with new commissioners coming on board," he said.
There is no replacement ready at this time.
Nathan Keever, a Grand Junction-based attorney, was approved to represent the county in its tax dispute with CO2 extractor Kinder Morgan. He is the second candidate to be tapped for the job. Phillip Barber, the county's first choice, was hired in October but resigned because Kinder Morgan called his participation a conflict of interest.
County assessor Mark Vanderpool said the alleged conflict was related to Barber representing the Cortez Pipeline in a separate case more than 10 years ago. The pipeline transports carbon dioxide 500 miles from the McElmo Dome to oil fields in west Texas.
Vanderpool said Keever came "highly recommended" by Barber and Mary Ellen Denomy, an accountant who has advised the county before on the Kinder Morgan issue. He is employed by the law firm Dufford, Waldeck, Milburn & Krohn.
"I specialize in oil and gas work. I'm very familiar with audits and royalty cases related to oil and gas operators," Keever said Tuesday from his Grand Junction office.
Kinder Morgan is trying to recoup about $2 million in property taxes already paid to the county. A second point of contention is the company's relationship to the Cortez Pipeline. The county argues that because Kinder Morgan, with Exxon, owns an 87 percent majority stake in the pipeline, the use tariffs they pay are in effect circulating back into their own coffers.
"Our opinion is that they are, in effect, paying themselves," Vanderpool said.
A hearing before the state Board of Assessment Appeals is scheduled for Feb. 19, but Vanderpool said the date will be postponed until May or June to give Keever time to study the case file.
The county is moving forward with plans to hire a full-time veterans affairs officer. Currently, the department is staffed by Bud Carriere on a part-time basis of 15 hours per week.
County administrator Ashton Harrison said more help is needed to cope with the volume of paperwork. According to figures from the U.S. Census Bureau, Montezuma County is home to about 2,500 veterans.
The VA department is charged with connecting veterans - as well as dependents and surviving spouses - to benefits including disability compensation, home loans, health care, education and job training.
About 15 veterans from various branches listened Monday as the commissioners discussed the new hire.
Robert Valencia said helping veterans was "a bigger job than 10 years ago", given the younger service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Over the next two weeks, leaders of local posts - the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Disabled American Veterans and American Legion - will brainstorm about desired credentials and report back to the commission with recommendations. The county will then publicize the job opening and start taking applications.
Carriere will be retained as an assistant after the full-time position is filled. The initial appointment will last two years and be extended based on performance. Harrison said the VA department will set up in new offices in the county annex building, both for space reasons and to make it more accessible to the disabled.

But then I noticed there were some pretty good things in there, so I thought I better mention them.
The Non Cal Arts Expressions Look Great
I like how the eyes are sunk into the skin of his eyelids here. I wish we could see it better.
After the blurry stuff stops, he goes back into the Cal Arts business.
Here's some very clever stuff...
I'd rather it wasn't blurred though.
These hands are great!
The Textures Are More Subtle Than Usual
These characters look like Seuss characters - at least when they aren't making Disney expressions and that in itself is a huge advance in modern cartoon design.
I hope there is at least one sequence that is rendered in the style of my favorite Seuss book:
Maybe the Blue Sky artists are slowly pushing back against the forces of Hollywood/Disney formula. This definitely looks better than most feature cartoons. It's at least cartoony underneath the expressions and in a few short bits. Maybe there is more of that in the film.
I wish they could just go ahead and do some shorts using the Seuss stories as is, and not have to fill them up with Hollywood sappy story stuff and characters who have to examine their inner selves and learn that it's ok to be yourself. Just tell the stories and use the original poetry and get good character actors with fun voices to narrate.
Come up with a animation style that is as silly and cartoony as the drawings. Seuss is pure silly fantasy. It's not supposed to have fake heart or be believable. It's supposed to be funny and clever and imaginative. An escape from the mundane.
That'd make a great DVD.
A note on individual interpretations of classics:
I'm actually all for individual creative additions to classic properties, as long as they don't completely undermine the essence of the material. Unless they are satires, of course. (Good ones). It's like covering a standard pop song.
Clampett and Jones both did their own interpretations of Seuss and Horton and you can sure tell the difference between them. I think Clampett did the better version and closer to the source, but that's just my opinion. The Grinch has a lot of good things in it. Both directors obviously have great respect and admiration for Seuss, but are also very strong stylists themselves and couldn't possibly help adding their own personalities to the cartoons. I wouldn't want them to just take Seuss' drawings and inbetween them.
That's not the same thing as a corporate whitewashing of a classic. My complaint is that the same bland formulaic makeover is applied to everything today. There's no sign of anyone's individuality anywhere. It's like there is only one animation creator and he makes every frame of every film. The same expressions, same acting, same contrived story gimmicks are just pasted over any subject matter.
There are lots of truly creative people in the business that could do marvelously entertaining, exciting and popular cartoons if only we could discard the corporate formula veneer that smothers every attempt to be sincere and creative.

Three people were injured Wednesday morning on I-135 in an accident caused by slick roads.
According to Harvey County Sheriff reports, at about 6:30 a.m., a 26-year-old man from Wichita slid into the guard rail of the median as he was driving north. He was driving a 2003 Dodge Ram pickup. He got out of the vehicle to inspect the damage and his truck was hit by another vehicle. That vehicle was a 2001 Chevrolet Silverado pickup driven by a 61-year-old man from Wichita. The impact pushed the vehicle into the first driver.
Names had not been released as of Wednesday afternoon.
The 26-year-old was transported by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital in Wichita and was reported to be in critical condition. His passenger was not injured.
The 61-year-old male driver of the Chevrolet Silverado was transported by ambulance in serious condition to Newton Medical Center and later transferred to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita.
His passenger was also transported to Newton Medical Center in non-serious condition.
Personnel from the Harvey County Sheriff's Office, Newton Police Department, Kansas Highway Patrol, and Newton Fire/EMS assisted at the scene of the accident.
The accident remains under investigation.

Lea Wainwright, a French teacher at Appoquinimink High School, was named the district's Teacher of the Year during a dinner at the Marion Proffitt Training Center on Tuesday.
Lea Wainwright was on maternity leave from a plumbing wholesaler when a struggling student came to her for some extra tutoring.
"The light bulb just went off and I realized this is what I wanted to do," the French teacher at Appoquinimink High School said. "The next day I enrolled in classes at the University of Delaware to get my teaching certificate."
More than 20 years later, that decision culminated in Wainwright being named the Appoquinimink School District's 2014 Teacher of the Year.
"I couldn't be more honored and flattered," she said following a gala dinner at the Marion Proffitt Center in Odessa on Tuesday. "But my first action as teacher of the year will probably be to go home and grade some papers that are on the backseat of my car right now."
Wainwright was selected from a pool of 15 nominees, each of whom was chosen as their school's teacher of the year.
Each of those teachers was nominated by a fellow teacher, student or parent before being awarded building honors by a committee of their peers.
Each building-level winner then submits a portfolio that includes a statement about their personal teaching philosophy, a resume of their teaching experience, education and activities, as well as three letters of recommendation.
Those portfolios are then scored by a committee – made up of administrators, teachers and the district's current teacher of the year – which also conducts interviews with the candidates and observes each of them in the classroom at least twice.
"Each candidate is scored in those areas and we use that to pick our top three," explained Debbie Panchisin, the district's director of elementary education, who heads the teacher of the year committee along with Ray Graveur, the district's director of secondary education. "From there we have a conversation about who best represents the district and has the best chance of winning at the state teacher of the year competition."
Panchisin said all three finalists were excellent candidates, but Wainwright was consensus choice.
"She had a well written portfolio that included her philosophy of teaching and a strong resume with community involvement," she said. "She also is well spoken and responded with poise and confidence to the questions posed during the panel discussions."
During her acceptance speech, Wainwright recalled a student who once remarked how her classroom feel like a family.
"Everybody is this room is kind of a family … everybody in the community is part of a big family," she said. "We all want the same thing. We all want our kids to succeed and to be happy and healthy and to feel good about being together with us, so thank you all for acknowledging me as being a part of your family."
Wainwright will now compete for the Delaware Teacher of the Year honor, which is announced in October.
She also will receive a $2,000 salary bonus from the state later this year and a $500 grant from the Appoquinimink School District for use toward a professional development program of her choice.
Meanwhile, Katie Martinenza, the district's 2013 Teacher of the Year, implored the other 14 nominees to cherish that honor by serving as an example for their co-workers.
"Find ways to inspire those around you to take their classes and their teaching to the next level," she said. "Take the reigns as the building-level teacher of the year and make it the most amazing year you can. Volunteer to lead professional development in your building, get out in the community, attend district events and make your classroom the stage for all the amazing and wonderful things you are doing."

I have been talking with Zac via email. If you guys put together a kickstarter project and raise around 2-3k I will handle moving the forum to a new server with updates etc.

Any personal sites of yours (or AGD proper) could all run on the same server. And in effect you would still retain control of them.
Not sure where the $3k comes from.
Yeah Im not sure where that $3k figure comes from either...
me aither...
BTW I'm Zac
Because I have to pay guys to go pull the data off the server, setup the new one, buy the software etc. I will be transferring it to my current provider away from Delaware,net so that is two bills.
Then I still have to take care of Zupe because the store runs on that server on more old software. All the parts and products need to be transferred and setup on the new store with new software. Thats a job in itself. The agd website has to go over too. I am not going to do that, someone has to pay for it. Dave doesn't have the dough either.
So its more than just transferring a list of members and some posts.
I think there would be more sales for the AGD online store if it were easier to navigate.
Like being able to click a "buy" button and pay with Paypal.
If you have to call in to buy something, to me thats a sales prevention website.
Either way if Tom or Dave or someone wants to set up an official "Update AO" Paypal account and keep us updated on the progress I'm in.
ahhhhh, I see I see said the blind man to the deaf dog
so lets get kickstarter going
i will get it going tomorrow morning.
I'd be more than happy to actually put my money where my mouth is. If the kickstarter helps out AGD as well, so much the better. Easier navigation - and easier to buy - at AGD's website would benefit AGD (or so I would like to think). As for easier navigation, don't forget to make it easy to purchase for all the non U.S. customers out there. *hint hint*
Oh, and to make a very easy incentive for people to contribute to the kickstarter without any cost/discount to it, how about that everyone who contributes a certain sum gets their photo at the top of the page, much like the gentlemen at the top of the page at the moment.
see now I'm sad cause I'm poor
I bumped the page
Well I'm looking at the Kickstarter info.
I can start it, but I'm going to end up getting hit with income tax on the funds received. So it may be better if Tom sets this up himself. I mean, I CAN, but I'd rather not pay this in my taxes next year.
kind of a different subject... on another site (neons.org) dealers pay a fee to be able to sell their stuff and have their own forum section...
sorry, luke and all them, but it is extra revenue

If you think there is any real money making after market parts for the Automag think again.
If I told you how much money I make doing this you would call me an idiot for doing it.
it was just a suggestion. I know theres not alot of profit in this. I'm just posting what another forum is doing to raise money. I'm not AT ALL saying that youre taking advantage of us.
dont ever take what I say as an attack on you. I'm a generously nice person... its also why I'm so poor

BT, can you edit your first post putting a list up for those that will pay to support this site.
Well, once Tom sets up the Kickstarter account, we can link to it and go from there.
But as I said - that part is something Tom's going to need to handle, I'm not willing to take the financial tax hit.

everyone willing to donate put "I WILL PAY" in their response
I'm no dummy. I wouldn't call you an idiot. I'd just place yet another order for work.Originally Posted by luke
I read the details on Kickstarter.com and it looks like we don't apply. They will not let projects go on that involve website stuff.
Anyone have any other ideas?
well Tom, can we trust you to hold our money
Everyone could send me a check and if we don't get to the target price you can cancel the checks.
whats the target price?Originally Posted by AGD
why not add an item on the AGD web store?
That would work for those of us currently outside CONUS. Although I'm not sure how refunds would work.Originally Posted by Dayspring

sleep, lack of sleep, insomnia, privacy, contact information, depression
I took last week off for vacation. I am not sure I can really call it that. I ran some errands on Monday, was down Tuesday. Took my uncle to Kansas City on Wednesday, was gone ALL day, and then was down on Thursday and Friday. Felt okay Saturday so we had our turkey dinner and was down a bit on Sunday.
Back to work today and wondering where the vacation actually went. I am not sleeping again. During the week off I only slept one whole night. The other nights I was lucky to get up to 3 hours of sleep. I am exhausted!
So that is our topic today. Sleep, or rather the lack of sleep.
One of the symptoms of RA and Fibro is insomnia. It can be impossible to get to sleep and very difficult to remain asleep during flares, and even when a person is not having a flare. Yes, I take prescription sleeping pills, but obviously they do not work during a flare. Even after taking them, I was up all night. My body is not able to 'reset' itself without sleep and therefore unable to break the flare. I need sleep to allow my body the required time to calm the inflammation and repair what it is able to. This will be discussed at my next appointment. I have quite a list already made for January appointment, if I make it that long.
(I have to admit I took a beating to my attitude of this whole thing. I have to admit to myself that I am losing more ground.) I am not able to open a jar, I can't just 'run' to the city for a day and be ready for anything the next day, I can't even lift a skillet from the stove if it has something in it, and I am fighting depression over the things that I have lost in the last month, let alone the things I have lost since this disease started introducing itself to me.
Every one of us goes through steps of grief due to the ravages the disease inflects on our bodies. This isn't a one-time process. This happens multiple times and becomes somewhat of a vicious cycle. Right at the moment I am coming out of denial into acceptance, which allows for the depression. I am trying to focus on the anger. That is when I will get that wild hair and fight with everything I have. If you pay close attention to my posts you will be able to determine each stage as I go through it.
I try to add quite a bit of personal impact in the posts so that you can get a feel for what I am going through, while at the same time not providing too much personal information that I lose all privacy. I hope you can understand that in today's virtual world, I try not to mention family members and friends by name as that would compromise their privacy and I will not open them up to that at any time. This is MY story to tell. While they are all a part of the story, they are a separate part. While I didn't sign up for the disease, they did not sign up for the publicity. They have enough to handle helping me get through a single day, sometimes even a single hour.
If you would like to contact me, please email me at email@example.com.

Hendersonville City Council tweaked, cut and shuffled budget lines Friday in a last-minute maneuver to cover expenses and forestall a raise in taxes one more year.
Hendersonville City Council tweaked, cut and shuffled budget lines Friday in a last-minute maneuver to cover expenses and forestall a raise in taxes one more year.
Budget year 2014, however, doesn't look so good, as state lawmakers eye eliminations that threaten city revenues.
Councilman Jerry Smith made a motion to pull $480,000 from the city's healthy fund balance to cover a budget gap that would have otherwise been bridged by a 3-cent property tax increase. The decision passed unanimously.
The council also trimmed more than $70,000 from the $29.6 million proposed budget and found a way to fund a part-time position for the city's Main Street program. It also earmarked funds currently in the budget for Berkeley Park to cover an extra student resource officer to police two city schools, if the city is awarded a federal grant to foot most of the bill for three years.
The proposed budget still includes a small hike in water and sewer rates and a $2-a-month fee to support a citywide switch from recycling bins to roll-out containers.
The budget will take effect in July if approved by council at its June meeting.
City Finance Director Jim Rudasill said the average residential water customer will likely see a 40-cent increase in their monthly bills, which will include a 4-cent surcharge to fund a $66,125 commitment to protect the city's watershed. Customers who consume larger amounts of water will get a bigger bill.
A tax increase may become a reality in 2014-15 as the city braces for the threat of more cuts from the state.
The General Assembly is mulling over a bill that would eliminate privilege license taxes levied by cities, which the N.C. League of Municipalities predicts could take $60 million fom cities in 2015.
Hendersonville raised $300,000 in privilege license fees last year. The revenue will disappear if the bill becomes law.
"We could really get hurt if they take the business license," said interim City Manager A. Lee Galloway.
Another bill aims to lower the sales tax, trimming the city's gains.
Neither bill has left the Senate, where they were introduced, but there is a law that may boost city coffers by $25,000. The state's new Tag & Tax System, set to take effect this July, requires buyers to pay taxes on a car to the Department of Motor Vehicles before a tag is issued.
"New legislation about the motor vehicles tax should generate additional revenue for us," Galloway said, but not enough to feed the $6 million "elephant in the room."
That "elephant" is a new fire station and fire truck that adds an annual debt payment of $506,800 to the city's expenses. The initial draft of the proposed budget called for a hike in property taxes to foot $480,000 of the bill.
When the city faced the threat of a risky fire insurance rating, council "made a commitment to upgrade the fire service offered in the community," Galloway said.
The city purchased a new fire engine to replace a 38-year-old unit. To combat slow response times through traffic congestion to the east side of town, council agreed to build a fire station on Sugarloaf Road.
Galloway said the new station should open in the spring of 2014, allowing the city to maintain or lower its level 5 insurance rating and save customers from higher insurance premiums.
"We had to build the fire station, whether we wanted to or not... either way, we're forced to pay," Smith said.
But Councilman Ron Stephens argued they didn't have to spend so much this year on Main Street. The final phase of Main Street improvements cost the city $2.5 million this year.
We spent a lot of extra money, he said.
"I'm proud of what's gone on with Main Street," said Councilman Jeff Collis, adding that city fathers faced a lot of flack for giving the downtown strip its serpentine pattern, but that turned out well.
Councilman Steve Caraker said that "once you start something, you better be committed to present the best project you can."
Stephens doubts the money spent on the new "mountain fountain" at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Main Street will generate new business.
"It's water over the dam," he said.
"It is what it is. We can't take it back now," Mayor Barbara Volk added.
The proposed budget includes a 1.7 percent cost of living raise to help "employees meet their basic needs for food, housing and vehicular costs." Galloway said those costs have been "rising well above the rate of inflation."
The draft also includes funding for 2.5 percent merit raises for an estimated 80 percent of the city's workforce.
The proposed $600,000 water line extension to serve homes struggling with tainted wells in the Dana community will likely be entirely funded by grant money.

Nearly 200 children and teens from Sussex County put their skills on the lane to the test Tuesday when Milford Bowl hosted the Special Olympics Bowling Tournament.
Nearly 200 children and teens from Sussex County put their skills on the lane to the test Tuesday when Milford Bowl hosted the Special Olympics Bowling Tournament.
"I love bowling with my friends and today I'm hoping to go on to win a gold medal," said 17-year-old Kaleb Hudson, a junior at Milford High School. "My average is 110 and I've got a 95 right now with a couple of frames left to go."
Hudson was among the dozens of students from Milford schools who competed in Tuesday's event from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The local competition was one of six bowling tournaments Special Olympics Delaware sponsored throughout the state this week.
Bowlers in those tournaments played two games in one of several categories, including bumper for younger children, ramp for athletes in wheelchairs, singles, doubles and unified doubles in which Special Olympics athletes team up with non-disabled partners.
"Bowling is one of our most popular sports," said Gary Cimaglia, the senior director of sports for Special Olympics Delaware. "One of the neatest things about our athletes participating in bowling is that they can then transfer what they learn when they have opportunities to bowl with friends and family, which is a very popular thing to do over the upcoming holidays."
Kaleb's mother, Cordelia Zook, said that opportunity to foster friendship is what she likes best about Special Olympics events like this week's bowling tournament.
"Obviously, kids with disabilities, like Kaleb, don't get a lot of chances to shine," she said. "Things like this really help to boost their confidence and help them feel like a better person."
Zook said the inclusion of unified partners also goes a long way to help remove the stigma disabled children can feel amongst their peers.
"If the other kids only see them at school, there is a tendency to judge a book by its cover," she said. "By interacting together as partners in settings like this, kids on different levels get the opportunity to know each other, and that helps foster an understanding that they otherwise wouldn't have."
Special Olympic athlete Makhi Peacock and his unified partner Josh Blandino, both fifth graders at Lulu Ross Elementary School, said they might not have met if not for their school's Special Olympics bowling team.
"We're in different classes, but now we're friends and we have fun together," Josh said. "We help each other out and give each other tips, like today he's doing good and I'm not playing my best, so he's giving me pointers."
Makhi said he and Josh plan to carry their partnership over into other athletic endeavors.
"After this, we're both going to play basketball," he said. "We're hoping we get to be on the same team together because we have fun."

Voters in the Indian River School District, will vote next month on a school tax referendum that seeks to raise $6.2 million in new funding.
Voters in the Indian River School District, which includes Georgetown, will vote next month on a school tax referendum that seeks to raise $6.2 million in new funding for the construction of 38 classrooms and the hiring of new teachers.
The proposed property tax increase would increase the current school tax rate 6.5 percent from $2.623 per $100 of assessed value to $2.77 per $100.
School officials said the 14.7-cent rate increase would equate to an annual increase of $38.05 for the average property owner.
The Jan. 29 referendum will include two separate ballot questions, each requiring a "for" or "against" vote.
The first question will seek a 3.2-cent increase in the property tax rate to raise money for the annual debt payment on district's $4.4-million share of a proposed $11 million construction project that would add 38 new classrooms at six schools, including eight classrooms at North Georgetown Elementary, and eight classrooms and a new kitchen the Georgetown Elementary/Georgetown Middle School complex.
The second question will seek an 11.5-cent rate increase to raise $1.81 million to fund the hiring of 20 new teacher positions, provide new classrooms with furniture and supplies, and fund increased utility and fuel expenses related to the building expansions.
Voting on Jan. 29 will be held from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Georgetown Elementary School, East Millsboro Elementary School, Long Neck Elementary School, Lord Baltimore Elementary School and Selbyville Middle School.

Happy Groundhog Day! Neither of the local celebrity rodent weathermen, Punxsutawney Phil and Staten Island Chuck, saw their shadows, a harbinger of early spring. Actually I assume it's other people looking for their shadows, as who can really see into the mind of a groundhog? And I don't know how it worked out like that, because it was sunny around here, but I'll take an early spring.

Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon
Further readings for the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Adding to its range of image stabilised lenses Canon has brought out this new EF 28mm f2.8. 28mm is a useful focal length and while f2.8 is not very wide, the IS makes this an attractive proposition. Taking into account that this is optically pretty good too and the result is quite promising. Photographers looking for a good all round wide angle for their kit bag could do much worse.
Even though it appeared in Canon's lineup in 1995, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 is one of the most recent wide-angle prime lenses for full-frame cameras. Built around 10 elements in 9 groups with one aspherical element, this lens feels pretty solid in hand. Its ultrasonic motor (USM) makes it very silent and quick to focus. In terms of image quality, the Canon EF 28mm F/1.8 provides a really good value for money.
Announced at PhotoKina 2010, the Zeiss 35mm 1.4 lenses for Canon and Nikon are arriving on the market and have now been tested on DxOMark.
With these new lenses, the German brand extends its already extensive line of fast wide-angle lenses such as the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZE Canon and the Carl Zeiss Distagon T 28mm f/2 ZF2 Nikon.

A Springfield man allegedly tried to escape from police Friday by boarding a Springfield Mass Transit District bus after a traffic crash at St. Cabrini Court and East Trinity Avenue.
Aaron Solomon, 20, of the 100 block of East Mayden Road reportedly sped away from Sangamon County deputies near Milton and Clear Lake avenues about 2:15 p.m. The deputies weren�t looking for him at the time, but they started to pursue him north on Milton when they saw him speed away, a sheriff�s report indicated.
Solomon turned right off Milton and headed east on East Trinity but ended up rolling his vehicle about block later at St. Cabrini Court.
He allegedly fled on foot carrying a blue plastic shopping bag that he dropped somewhere on East Enos Avenue. He then boarded a bus at Milton and Enos.
Officers saw Solomon board the bus and were able to stop it. Solomon was arrested without incident.
Deputies said the plastic bag contained marijuana.

New London police say man admits to shaking baby
New London — A 24-year-old city man remained in prison under a suicide watch Friday after allegedly shaking his 2-month-old son and causing a life-threatening brain injury consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
The baby was first taken to Lawrence + Memorial Hospital early Friday morning and later was flown to Yale-New Haven Hospital for advance medical treatment, according to a police report on the case.
Medical personnel in New Haven have given the unidentified infant a poor prognosis. He was listed in critical condition Friday evening, police said.
Police charged the boy's father, Adam M. Browne, with first-degree assault and risk of injury to a minor. The arrest came shortly after Browne's alleged admission that "he shook the victim and caused the injuries," the police report says.
Browne was arraigned in New London Superior Court and ordered held in lieu of a $500,000 bond. The case was transferred to the court's Part A division for serious felonies.
Court records indicate that Browne is on a suicide watch in addition to a medical watch and mental health watch.
New London Deputy Police Chief Peter Reichard said that if the infant dies, it would be the decision of the New London County State's Attorney's Office whether to upgrade the charges against Browne.
Police were first alerted to a situation at 2:30 a.m. Friday, when Browne called 911 from his 48 Crystal Ave. apartment to report that his son was limp and not breathing, police said. While a dispatcher walked Browne through emergency medical procedures over the phone, the fire department sent personnel and later transported the baby to the hospital.
Police, meanwhile, questioned Browne about what had happened.
Browne lives with the child's mother and her two 4-year-old children. He said she was visiting a friend at the hospital Thursday night and the children were in his care, police said. Browne told police he put all three children to bed. His son was in a car seat where, he said, the infant sleeps more comfortably than in a crib.
At first, Browne told police he had checked on his son and had found him limp and not breathing. He later changed his story, police said, admitting in a recorded confession that the baby had woken up crying at about 11:30 p.m. Thursday. He said he had changed the diaper, had tried feeding and burping the infant, but the child was still crying and spitting up.
"The accused stated the victim continued to cry and he got frustrated," according to the report.
Browne's response, according to police, was to shake the infant five or six times while holding the infant under the arms.
"The accused stated the victim's head was moving back and forth," according to the police report. "The accused reported the victim stopped crying and became docile …" and "looked like he was sleeping."
He then placed the child back in the car seat and left the room "to take a break," police said.
Browne returned to the room to find his son limp and not breathing, at which point, police said, he brought a piece of ice to wake the child. Becoming frantic, Browne also attempted mouth-to-mouth resuscitation before calling 911.
Lawrence + Memorial Hospital reported that the infant had sustained "bilateral hemorrhaging to the brain," according to the report. On a follow-up call to Yale-New Haven Hospital, police said, a nurse practitioner reported the child was not likely to survive.
Browne is due back in court on Nov. 6.
