Legacy Place Panorama, originally uploaded by stevegarfield. CC BY-NC-SA
Robert Campbell writes in today's Boston Globe:
"My problem with Legacy Place isn't the forgettable architecture. It's that everything is here to be bought. On the old Main Street, the one that is supposedly being copied here, much of the action was about maintaining things, not merely buying them. There was maybe a shoe repair, a watchmaker, a tailor or dressmaker, a hardware store, a pharmacy, a dentist, a church, a clinic, a funeral parlor, a post office. Nothing like those exists at Legacy Place."

Shawn was born and raised in Montreal, and has been acting in his beloved city for about 20 years now.
He's worked in theatre (As You Like It, Dracula, The Real Inspector Hound, The Pillowman, Danny and the Deep Blue Sea), television (Blue Mountain State, Being Human, Bullet in the Face, Ascension) and film (I'm Not There, Imaginaerum, 3 Saisons (which was nominated for 3 Genie Awards)), to name a few projects, not to mention many commercials and short films.
He's been especially busy in the last few years with voice work, motion capture, fight choreography and stunt performance, often having the chance to combine his love for all those things in video game work. As a relatively new field of artistic development, voice and motion capture for video games has become one of Shawn's main focuses in his career, having worked for Ubisoft, Eidos and Warner Brothers. His love of gaming and acting, combined with his years of skill and expertise in stunt fighting and choreography, have recently given him opportunities to be involved in projects he would only have dreamt of a few years ago.
He's had the privilege of working on almost all of the Assassin's Creed games in the series to date (Assassin's Creed, Assassin's Creed II, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, Assassin's Creed: Revelations, Assassin's Creed III, Assassin's Creed III: Liberation, Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, Assassin's Creed: Unity, Assassin's Creed: Syndicate) not to mention having played Father Antonio Maffei in the 3-part web series Assassin's Creed: Lineage, one of the few characters of the series to survive into AC2, where he was subsequently assassinated by millions of players. Shawn played head assassin Niccolò Machiavelli in the series, as well as the love-to-hate punching bag Duccio de Luca. He was also Stephane Chapeau, the meat-cleaver wielding, English-hating butcher and ally in AC3. Other titles he's worked on include Shaun White Snowboarding (1-3), Deus Ex: Human Revolution, Far Cry 3 and Outlast.
Most recently, Shawn played the ultra-popular character Wrench in Ubisoft's Watch Dogs 2. The game is receiving great reviews, and the fan reaction to Wrench so far has been incredible.
Additionally, Shawn was the Takedown Choreographer for Eidos Montreal's recent hit, Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. He designed and motion captured all of Adam Jensen's moves in the game, as well as doubling for him in a number of physical scenes.
He's also playing the lead character, Blake Langermann, in Red Barrels' upcoming survival-horror game Outlast 2, sequel to the previous smash hit of the same name. It releases later on this year.
A few years ago, Shawn poured a lot of time, passion and energy into a very special, personal project of his. Representing a culmination of many of his passions (acting, choreography, comic books, filmmaking), The Punisher: No Mercy aimed to redefine the fan-film genre, by gathering the talents of like-minded industry professionals and combining them to produce the highest-possible quality film for next to nothing.
Completely not-for-profit and meant as an homage to one of Shawn's favourite comic book characters, The Punisher: No Mercy is now up on YouTube, and has almost 450 000 total views combined! Click HERE to see it!

After a few weeks they were
put into a 40"x 12"x 12 inch (1000mm x 300mm x
300 mm) Corydoras community tank where they grew well during
the summer months. They were fed on a mixed diet of flake,
beefheart/spinach mix, white worms, and tubifex worms. My
judgement had been good - one female 3" (75mm) and
two males 2" - 2½" (50mm - 62mm).
On the Friday afternoon of our Bank holiday weekend the
barbatus decided to spawn, the female was laying
eggs 1" (25mm) below the water level, all the eggs
were placed in a tight clutch which is unusual with Corydoras.
It was not possible to move the fish therefore the eggs
were moved to a 4"x 4"x 2"(100mm x 100mm
x 50mm) box and light aeration was used, somewhat later
than intended the family set off for Blackpool for the weekend.
Returning home on Monday night my first concern was for
the eggs, but alas all had perished, so there was nothing
for it but to try again. This time the trio were placed
in a 24" x 12" x 12" (60cm x 30cm x 30cm)
tank with ½" of gravel which was planted with
Cryptocorynes in pots and subdued lighting, (water conditions
were P.H. 7 - Temperature 70o - 72o F - Dh ?). A week passed
, then a month, Christmas came and went, and by this time
the trio did not look happy at all, so they were returned
to the 40"Corydoras community tank.
One evening the female was very active swimming up and down
the front of the glass and showing great interest in one
of the males and butting him on the side, after a time the
male began to chase the female around the tank, eventually
they settled on the gravel in the characteristic 'T' position.
The male gripped the females barbels with one of its pectoral
fins, after 5 - 10 seconds they broke away and she swam
to the top where she placed 10 - 15 eggs, she rested for
a few minutes and then went looking for the male. Sometimes
she rested on one side clasping the eggs in her pelvics
and seemed to be fanning the eggs with her pectoral fins,
70 eggs were laid 2" (50mm) from the water surface
in a small clump as previously described., the spawning
only lasted for a ½ hour, (P.H. 7 - Temperature 70o
- 72o - Dh ?). I decided to remove the eggs as the 40"
tank was unsuitable for rearing fry. The eggs were creamy
coloured and about 2mm in size, a 10" x 6" x 4"
(25cm x 15cm x 10cm) tank containing 3" (75mm) of water
taken from the community tank, a sponge filter and some
gravel was set up for the eggs. Two days later the eggs
had a slight tint as though they had a covering of algae,
only a few turned white and these subsequently fungused.
After a period of five days all the remaining eggs hatched
but the fry were not visible as they had taken refuge in
the gravel, by the second day the yolk sac was absorbed,
the first day some 'Liquifry' was added and on the third
day some Microworm, newly hatched Brine Shrimp, and some
powdered flakewas added. At this stage it is essential that
all uneaten food and mulm is removed and so I siphoned off
one pint of water topping up with mature water each day.As
soon as the fry are ready (normally in the 4th or 5th week
when they start to look like little catfish) the fry are
removed to a 24" x 10" with 6" (15cm) of
water, growth is rapid if the fry have a good diet, normally
by 10 weeks they measure 2cm and may be divided up or removed
to larger tanks, I feel a 24" is big enough with frequent
water changes as it saves the fry searching for food. As
they grow larger they can then be moved to larger quarters.
I remove the eggs because I feel it is pointless to disturb
the adults when they are settled in an environment that
suits them.
For the last 9 months the barbatus have been housed
in a 36" x 15" x 12" (90cm x 37cm x 30cm)
tank with 8 Corydoras blochi and have regularly produced
eggs every 6 - 8 weeks, the fry being raised as described.
Remember these two important points which should help you
on your way to success.
Keep the fish in tip-top condition by changing the water
Keep them happy by including other Corydoras as they
do not like being alone and prefer to live in larger groups
of at least 10, they are naturally a shoaling fish, so it
is better to buy several of one species rather than pairs
or trios.

Brian Lashchuk of Beyond the Grave Productions and myself, Christopher Brielmaier (Rogues Hollow Productions) had become fast friends after meeting in 2008. Our mutual love of horror films and in particular the Halloween film series often led to very long conversations that would stretch into the wee hours.
We often discussed how, if we had the opportunity, would reboot Halloween for a new generation. That's when we decided we had to actually make our own Halloween fan film!
It was my suggestion we create a trailer instead of doing the traditional fan film simply because it would allow us to lay out a story by visually hitting on the plot points of the movie we wanted to get across. I knew finding people that could actually act would not be an easy task for something we weren't spending any real money on. Making a trailer meant we could focus on "moments" rather than big scenes.
However that didn't mean we could ignore actors all together. No we still had to find a few people. Most important was our Sam Loomis. Brian knew a real psychologist who he thought would be perfect for the part, if it not for the fact she was a woman. "So now she's Samantha Loomis" I quickly responded.
While we were a little concerned at first about having a female Loomis, those concerns evaporated quickly when we met Sandra Mulhinch who stunned us with her powerful take on the character. I literally had goosebumps on the very first take during Loomis big speech! It was simply perfect and we knew we made the right choice!
To fill out the cast we tapped friends, relatives and neighbors. The opening shot of Trick or Treaters was actually shot in November! Brian managed to talk his neighbors in his home of Dearborn Michigan to put up some Halloween decorations and send their kids out trick or treating! We had 3 houses participating with decorations and a bunch of kids from all over the neighborhood. The result is production value that truly captures a midwest October evening!
Brian's wife Trisha and a couple friends played our babysitters. The steadicam shot of them walking through a perfect autumn neighborhood was shot on a bitterly cold December evening. Our cop, played by Brenden Harrison, was a quick shot done in Brian's back yard and it turned out better than we had envisioned it!
Back in Ohio we shot my sister and her boyfriend getting murdered in my house along with that epic shot of Michael looking over the Bannister. In hindsight its amazing we got so lucky getting help on shooting this dumb little fan tribute!
The response to our video has been great and we appreciate all the wonderful comments fans have made on youtube! We've been working on a entirely new take on Halloween and who knows, maybe we'll finally get around to shooting it soon!

New Pornographers show - Someone throws a CD at Carl Newman and Neko Case Regulates. The girl who threw it got bounced and the CD was given to an audience member an hour later. Boston Show - 2010-06-18
I believe her.
Between this incident and the absolutely stupendously incredible Adult Swim pilot of Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge, Neko is maxing out her possible points in the humor column.
For the record: the only time I interacted with her in person, she was thoughtfully needlessly completely polite.

"As an editor, I observed that sometimes otherwise congenial/collegial individuals would become rather brutal (Blackwell, 2004) in their role as manuscript reviewer. This is somewhat akin to the person who is usually quite considerate and polite until he/she gets behind the wheel of a car. This is the kind of reviewer who makes personal, snide comments about the author, is sarcastic, and tends to be quite destructive in tone. Such behavior is a blatant violation of the ethic of reciprocity and sabotages the goal of adding value to the manuscript by offering ways to improve it."
Charles C. Fischer
Everyone is familiar with the reviewer who writes unfairly aggressive reviews, something which often prompts (and the reviewer knows this will be the outcome) the editor to tell the authors: never show your face again in this journal with this paper. Why do reviewers do this kind of reviewing? I have some guesses:
1. It's a blood-sport. It's always fun to draw blood, and we are trained to do it in grad school. See my earlier blog entry citing the article on pit-bull reviewers.
2. It's an easy way to eliminate perceived competitors. This motivation drives researchers who firmly believe that the perceived scientific importance of researchers is a zero-sum game: for one person to become more important, the nearest neighbors have to be brought down. Result: reject all papers from the competitors.
3. Eliminating ideas that the reviewer does not believe in or does not support must be prevented from entering the public domain. Reject.
Here's a much more comprehensive document than mine on this topic:

Six T4O students will travel with their education and outreach coordinator, and two T4O board members to Washington DC to attend the Blue Vision Summit. Look for lots of information on our blog and website next weekend.
From the Bluefront.org website:
TODAY THERE IS DESPERATE NEED to develop and expand not only our biological knowledge of the seas, but also an active and educated political constituency to protect the oceans' living resources.
There are two major new reports on the state of America's seas, the first of their kind in over thirty years. They are from the independent Pew Oceans Commission and the federal US Commission on Ocean Policy. Both recognize that or marine ecosystems are in crisis. "A 9/11 in the ocean is sitting there waiting to happen if we let it," warns Admiral James Watkins, head of the federal commission.
Among their recommendations is passage of an American Oceans Act. Like the Clean Air and Clean Water acts of the 20 th century, this would help assure the continued life, health and use of a vital public resource. There's also a call for an independent ocean agency, a kind of EPA for the seas, and a doubling of ocean science support (today's funding for ocean exploration is roughly one one-thousandth of NASA's space budget). Still, government action is unlikely without an upsurge of citizen action to demand change.
The Blue Frontier Campaign is working to link seaweed activists and concerned citizens who, getting so much from the sea in terms of recreation, transportation, food, security, livelihood and spiritual renewal, are now ready to give something back.
The Blue Frontier Campaign has produced dozens of print, radio and television reports on America's last great wilderness range: Its imperiled living seas. Along with addressing the latest controversies surrounding beach closures, collapsing fish stocks, killer algae, hurricanes and oil spills, the campaign seeks solutions, It does this by educating the public about a "seaweed rebellion" of coastal citizen-activists, local governments, and waterfront communities who are working to protect and restore the sea's health and our own.
The Campaign also provides public speakers to the nations leading aquariums, to journalism and science conferences, on college campuses and to maritime and ocean activist organizations.
If you'd like to have a speaker address your group you can arrange it through the Blue Frontier Campaign, (202) 387-8030 or email@example.com

noticing the wait...
Andrew laughs at me, because in all reality I am rarely quiet and not often still. This Friday will mark a month without a day off from work. To celebrate I've been staying in evenings to work on me-focused projects: making some pretty summer dresses for myself, planting dahlias, reading fiction. I get up three times a week to "run," a project that, as of this week, is actually more running then walking for a change.
Maybe it's just that I was a little punch-drunk on the spring and the sunshine, but sometime this past weekend it started to feel like we hit our stride. The running and the tulips and the tiny splinters in my hands from the piles of mulch and compost we've been using to make up for the clay soil in our front flower beds are all working together to keep my shoulders relaxed, my body calm. Coming home to a building full of good folks who are becoming good friends, to a home that often smells like fresh sourdough bread made from our own starter that we have kept alive almost the entire time we've been waiting doesn't hurt either.
Sunshine in Seattle never lasts. As a result those of us who live here have learned to live into every moment of blue sky warmth that we get, to try and stock up on it so that when we wake up the next morning, like we did today, to grey skies and windy misty rain, our bodies can still remember the way the earth was warm, not two days ago.
So I'm trying to let the coping skills I've developed for the weather seep into the other up-and-down seasonal changes in my life. To bask in the sunshine of friends and home, and the many sweet moments of our life as I can. Whether it's a quiet afternoon digging in the flower beds with one of my sister-friends, a sunny Sunday morning walk holding hands, or a rainy night eating cupcakes with neighbors - I can choose to bask in these things, to savor them.
That way, on other days, when I'm busy, discouraged, lonesome for that little person who is out there somewhere, or just plain worn out from my overactive brain's insistence on dwelling on a time that isn't here yet, I can do what we of the Pacific Northwest have learned to do so well. Chin up, ignoring the grey mist that wets my face and obscures the mountains in the distance, I can remember that the sun shone a few days ago, and it will be summer soon enough.

You are so eloquent! What can I say, except: Boy can I relate! I know I am not allowed to get impatient yet, as I've only just started waiting, but I can see the impatience in the future -- this post is a great reminder of how to cope -- we make through that awful March after 6 straight months of rain. Eventually July comes, when I can finally believe that the sun is here.ReplyDelete
I love dahlias. And I love the smells of spring. http://health.howstuffworks.com/smell3.htm Okay, I'm a geek, but I love this podcast... Another distraction?ReplyDelete
I have to say, my hobbies have seemed to greatly increase since we started this process. Maybe it's my hearts way of dealing with everything that's going on and maybe it's just the idea of motherhood has me excited about life.ReplyDelete
P.S. You are such a wonderful writer! I so enjoy your posts! :)

Abstract—A local image transform based on cumulative similarity measures is defined and is shown to enable efficient correspondence and tracking near occluding boundaries. Unlike traditional methods, this transform allows correspondences to be found when the only contrast present is the occluding boundary itself and when the sign of contrast along the boundary is possibly reversed. The transform is based on the idea of a cumulative similarity measure which characterizes the shape of local image homogeneity; both the value of an image at a particular point and the shape of the region with locally similar and connected values is captured. This representation is insensitive to structure beyond an occluding boundary but is sensitive to the shape of the boundary itself, which is often an important cue. We show results comparing this method to traditional least-squares and robust correspondence matching.

Image correspondence, stereo, motion, contour tracking.

- Bloom's taxonomy plays a vital role in education and all it takes is a
quick Google search to find several images of the taxonomy with
several helpful descriptions of each stage. What I like about this one,
however, is that it provides instruction and assessment examples for
each stage.
- It can be easy to say that the "Analyze" level involves examining key
elements, but what does that actually look like in the classroom? This

It looks like it's going to be a tough decision between Ryan Miller and Jonathan Quick to start for team USA. Although I am biased being a Sabres fan, I would start Miller just because of the experience and what he did in 2010. Either way USA should be solid in goal and I wouldn't mind if Quick started since he is my 2 favorite goalie to watch in the NHL.

Well, day 4 feels much, much better than day 3. Got a fuzzy head and feel like I've got flu but not nearly as done in as yesterday. Phew!! Had a little moment of panic this morning when on the way out to buy a packet of cigs I realized I didn't smoke anymore. The little voice was saying 'Just one and you'll feel better'. So I silenced it with half a jar of nutella and a spoon he he.
My worry now is getting over the weekend. We're off to a festival for my sister in law's 30th and it's gonna be tough tough tough. Can't get out of it, meeting lots of new people who are all going to be drinking, so I don't think I'm going to be able to avoid a couple of beers. Gotta be mega strong!!! Still, I guess the earlier I get into the habit of socializing without the weed the sooner I'll recondition my brain to accept it right?
Anyway, day 4, bring it on, feeling strong!!

On October 29th, hurricane Sandy destroyed the Brooklyn studio in which the outfit was going to track, annihilating all the recording equipment and instruments. After a couple of days they luckily managed to start recording with the invaluable help of producer Andrew Schneider and Dave Curran of Unsane's fame. The result is an aptly furious endeavour that encapsulates the feeling of powerlessness really well. Full of pummeling bass lines, dense drumming and sludgy riffs, this record is at once unabashedly groovy and punishing, showcasing the trio's knack for crafting off-kilter noise rock that doesn't steer clear of unexpected flourishes.

Strawberry G&T
13 Jul
Guess what?
Today is day two of my Birthday celebration! my real Birthday was Tuesday, but Tuesday is a lame day for a Birthday, so I am celebrating again tonight.
Since it's Friday, and since I'll be getting my drink on tonight, I think you should too!
I am a big wino and normally I choose to drink wine in most circumstances, in fact I pretty much polished off a half litre to myself on Tuesday…
HEY, it was my Birthday.
Although I likey me wine, gin is usually my spirit of choice if I am to have a mixed drink. People already think I was born 85 years old so why fight it.
Plus gin and tonic is fairly low cal in the realm of mixed drinks so it all works for me. I think a single gin and tonic usually comes in at around 100 calories, so that's a big plus!
The other night I was making myself a G&T when I noticed I had a bowl of strawberries in the fridge and that's how this baby was born.
You can feel all fancy when you're muddling your strawberries and lime. And you can feel all tipsy when you realize you ran out of strawberries….and tonic…2 drinks ago…
What an imagination I have, making up such bizarre stories like that…
Strawberry G&T:
Makes one 5 ounce drink
2 strawberries
1 tsp sugar
2 wedges of lime
1 ounce gin (I always buy Bombay Sapphire but use whatever brand you like)
4 ounces tonic water
Crushed ice
Cut up the strawberries into quarters, place into a bowl with the sugar and stir. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes until the sugar granules are dissolved.
In a serving glass, add the strawberries and squeeze in one of the lime wedges, and drop the juiced lime wedge into the glass as well. With a wooden spoon (or you might have one of those fancy muddler things) squash the strawberries and the lime together for a few minutes, until the strawberry is in small pieces. Add the ice, gin and then tonic water and give the whole thing a good stir.
Garnish with the remaining lime wedge.

Wetherby is a 1985 British drama film written and directed by David Hare, known as one of the leading British playwrights of his generation.
Set in the town of Wetherby in West Yorkshire, the film focuses on Jean Travers, a middle-aged spinster schoolteacher. One evening, she invites married friends for a dinner party, only to have some terrible repressions and past traumas dredged up when guest John Morgan expresses his emotional pain. The strange young man arrives at Jean's cottage the next morning with a gift of pheasants. While sitting at the kitchen table waiting for tea, he puts the barrel of a gun in his mouth and kills himself.
From this point onward, the film's story is told in chronologically discrete, interlocking flashbacks to the recent and distant past, showing actions and events as seen and experienced from various points of view. The central mystery of Morgan's suicide is the fulcrum around which the narrative turns. The narrative construction of the film resembles a jigsaw puzzle and, in keeping with Hare's style of exposition, frequently appears to have key pieces missing.
There are further scenes of the dinner party as well as scenes of the police investigation into the suicide. We learn Morgan had not been an invited guest — he walked in with others who assumed he was an acquaintance of Jean's, and Jean assumed that her friends had brought him with them.
An aloof and peculiar young woman named Karen Creasy — a former classmate of Morgan's — is delivered from the funeral to Jean's doorstep by Mike Langdon, one of the policemen conducting the inquest. For several weeks after, the girl insinuates herself into Jean's life and home and shows no intention of leaving. Sullen, self-centered, and seemingly devoid of motivation, Karen is curiously unmoved by John's death and is even hostile to his memory. It is later explained that Morgan had developed an obsession with Karen when they were both students at the University of Essex, and she had harshly rebuffed his attempts to initiate a relationship with her. It is implied this rejection may have been the precipitating factor in his decision to leave Essex for Yorkshire with the intention of committing suicide.
When Jean suggests to Karen she may have been responsible for John's decision to kill himself, the young woman angrily denies that her behavior was — or is — in any way provocative. She makes it clear that she resists — and resents — having any kind of emotional involvement with people, including Jean, and promptly leaves Wetherby for good.
In addition to the events occurring in the present day, there are flashbacks of Jean and her lifelong friend, Marcia, as teenagers in 1953. These scenes reveal Jean had been engaged to airman, Jim Mortimer, and that she failed to stop him from going away on active service in southeast Asia. In a cruel twist of fate, Jim was senselessly murdered in a gambling den during the anti-imperial uprisings in British Malaya.
As these episodes from the past and present criss-cross and overlap, Jean begins to understand the dull resentment and lonely despair that drove Morgan to take his life. She also seems to gain some insight into the restlessness and self-destructive impulses of the younger generation. In a related incident, she tries to get one of her female students to see the value of continuing her education. At the end of the film, Jean is told that the girl has dropped out of the sixth form to run away to London, presumably with a boyfriend.
Jean is likewise affected by the diminished hopes of her contemporaries, who deplore the state of the country under Thatcherism. She regularly discusses these current matters with Stanley Pilborough, Marcia's husband and the town solicitor, who is often purposefully drunk. She observes the unhappy marriages of her middle-aged friends, particularly the endless bickering that goes on between Roger and Verity Braithwaite. Even lonely, despondent Mike Langdon confesses the failure of his relationship with his mistress, Chrissie, who eventually leaves him to return to her sheep farmer husband.
In the end, it seems that Jean no longer needs to mourn for the life she might have had — and the person she might have become — had she not allowed her fiancé to make his fatal departure for Malaya three decades earlier. She will make the best of what she has — and what is — in the here and now.
In her review in the New York Times, Janet Maslin observed the film was written "with a playwright's ear for elegant dialogue and a playwright's portentous sense of symmetry. While the former is certainly welcome on the screen, the latter is less at home, and it serves to make Wetherby a peculiar hybrid not entirely suited to either medium . . . the film's momentum varies unpredictably, with a rhythm that is sometimes abrupt, sometimes languid. Equally uneven is the acuteness of the dialogue, with passages that are particularly pointed interspersed with those whose bearing is at best indirect . . . However, Mr. Hare has assembled a superb cast, and its ensemble work is very fine . . . Miss Redgrave's warm, credible performance is very much the heart of the film. She brings to the character a crisp intelligence and a very deep compassion, while still managing to make every movement a surprise."[1]
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times called it "a haunting film, because it dares to suggest that the death of the stranger is important to everyone it touches - because it forces them to decide how alive they really are."[2]
Time Out London notes, "Redgrave's performance is superb and she's ably supported by Holm, Dench, and Hamilton in particular."[3]

Simon Pegg & Nick Frost are back!
Ah man, I have just returned from watching Hot Fuzz with my girlfriend Deena and I have a jaw ache from laughing so much. Deena has a mad attack of the hiccups right now. This film is so hilariously funny, and there are not many films that can make me laugh this hard!
Straight from the massive success of their last film, Shaun of the Dead comes Hot Fuzz! The pair join forces together when Sergeant Nicholas Angel (Pegg) is transferred to a small crime free village of Sandford. On his first day he arrests Danny Butterman (Frost) who he eventually finds out is his partner! Angel doesn't get off to the best start with the village community who seem to have very loose views on crime
Just as Angel begins to become increasingly frustrated with the lack of action which this village has, a series of strange murders unleashes the dark side of the village community. Angel and Danny then investigate only to have their claims dismissed by the residents.

Big fish, small pond
"When I left for the ground this morning, I told my family I would hit Shoaib Akhtar for a six today." Not many batsmen in the world would begin their day with such a prophecy and then see it fulfilled, but then not many batsmen are Rizwan Cheema.
The 30-year-old Cheema has taken Canadian cricket by storm - first by smashing West Indies around during the summer, and then demonstrating his immense hitting prowess against Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in the recently concluded T20 Canada tournament.
Associate countries are rarely blessed with players who have such an immediate impact on the team, but from the moment Cheema dispatched West Indies' Jerome Taylor for his first six in a 61-ball 89 in his second ODI for Canada, there has been an air of expectancy around him.
Canada has no shortage of cricket fans but the vast majority would struggle to name a single player in the national team. Cheema's heroics have gone some way in building a following for Canadian cricket, but at the moment it is almost exclusively tied to his fortunes.
The buzz he creates is similar to that which greets Shahid Afridi when he steps out to bat. It isn't the expectation of a knock laced with deft touches, precision cuts or elegant drives; it is primal: the crowd wants Cheema to smash the ball out of the ground, and in his short career he has rarely disappointed.
In the recently concluded T20 tournament, which also featured two of history's greatest hitters, Afridi and Sanath Jayasuriya, it was Cheema who emerged the home-run king, with ten sixes - the most in the tournament. Cries of "Boom-Boom Cheema" were heard whenever he walked out to bat and the player admits to getting a kick out of it, especially with Afridi around.
Born and raised in Pakistan, Cheema only ever played cricket at club level, which he sought to continue doing after he moved to Canada six years ago. "I love playing cricket, so I just wanted to find a team in Toronto that I could play for recreationally. I didn't think that I'd end up playing for Canada".
It took a couple of years for Cheema to make a name for himself as an allrounder in the Toronto and District Cricket Association league, which besides being the best in Canada is also the biggest league in North America. While his medium-pace bowling was certainly useful, it was his tendency to belt the ball into orbit that really caught the eye of observers around the league.
Following his exploits in international cricket, there are now a number of people in Toronto's cricket circles who claim to have discovered Cheema during his earliest days in the league. But it wasn't until 2005 that he turned in a noteworthy season, scoring 627 runs (with three centuries) in 14 matches at an average just under 50, and taking 24 wickets at 13.12. After a disappointing 2006, Cheema established himself as the league's most dangerous batsman the following year with two big hundreds: 161 off a scarcely believable 61 balls (eight fours, 15 sixes), and an effort of 145 with 15 fours and nine sixes. It was clear that Toronto's amateur weekend cricket league would not be enough for Cheema and at this point he certainly was on Cricket Canada's radar, but eligibility issues stood in the way of an international debut until this summer.
|"By the grace of God I know that I can make ten runs in an over whenever I want"
Canadian teams of the recent past were overly dependent on John Davison for runs, a tendency which has continued, with the burden now on Cheema. In the seven international matches he has played for Canada, Cheema has scored three half-centuries, all against Full Member countries. In that period no other Canadian player has passed 50 even once. Since his debut Cheema has only had one real failure with the bat, when he was dismissed for 2 runs in the third-place match against Zimbabwe in the T20 tournament. Predictably Canada collapsed, folding for 75 all out. Cheema however is loath to criticise his team-mates. "The players are all good, in my opinion, but I think they just need to be a little more confident."
When pressed if the pressure to do the bulk of the scoring for the team is an annoyance, his reply is typical. "No, not at all. In fact, I always tell my partner at the other end to just be easy and relax and not worry about the runs, I'll handle that. By the grace of God I know that I can make ten runs in an over whenever I want."
It may sound cocky, but Cheema does not come across as arrogant, just someone who believes in his own abilities. And it is this confidence that makes him tick, whether he is muscling Shoaib Akhtar away for a low, flat six or charging out of his crease to clobber Ajantha Mendis out of the park.
Fearless to a fault, Cheema admits that his targeting of big-name bowlers is deliberate. "Anyone can score a single off Shoaib Akhtar, but not everyone can hit him for a six. I like doing things that not everyone can do."
His 43-ball 68, scored off the likes of Dilhara Fernando and Mendis, was also pleasing: "I feel very good about the innings against Sri Lanka. It was amazing. If the team is good you feel better about the runs that you score. I feel happier after I've scored runs off better bowlers."
With Cheema in sparkling form it is unfortunate that personal reasons have kept him out of Canada's squad for the West Indies Regional Tournament in Guyana later this month. Notwithstanding the bounty of international cricket this season in Toronto, playing for Canada ultimately means that opportunities to take on the world's better bowlers are few and far between outside of the World Cup. But maybe not in Cheema's case. There is some talk of IPL interest in him, which is simply astounding for a largely unknown amateur cricketer from an Associate country. If he does make it to India, Rizwan Cheema may not be unknown for much longer.

The last three wins for Anthony Pettis have all been submissions over Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts.
The latest, though, might have been the most important.
Pettis, a former UFC lightweight champion, locked up a guillotine choke on Charles Oliveira in the co-main event Saturday night of UFC on FOX 21.
"I'm here for one thing and one thing only," Pettis said. "And that's the belt."
"Showtime" had lost three straight at lightweight via decision, prompting his move to 145 pounds. Prior to the setbacks, though, he submitted Gilbert Melendez and Benson Henderson.
"I punched him unconscious in the first round," Pettis said. "I gassed myself out a bit. I'll made some adjustments."

Snooki has come a long way from her drunken Jersey Shore days. In the past few months, we've gotten to see a gentler Nicole Polizzi, a dedicated mommy to little Lorenzo, on her new reality show Snooki & JWoww. Like it? Don't get used to it!
It sounds like Snooki's reality show days are numbered. And she could be leaving TV for the best reason ever.
His name is Lorenzo ... and she wants to give him the childhood that she had. Aww! Snooki, you're making us a little weepy!
The MTV star was talking to XOJane this week, which did an amazing make-under on the new mom, when she dropped the bomb that she'd be saying bye bye to TV by the time Lorenzo is leaving babyhood:
We want [Lorenzo] to have as normal a life as possible. That's why I don't want him on TV once he starts going to school. Once he's like two or three I don't want him on TV anymore. Just because growing up in a normal school doing normal things has made me a great person, and I don't want him to feel like he's special or better than everybody. I just want him to go through normal life things that everybody goes through.
Once he's 2? We don't have much Snooki time left, it seems. Lorenzo is already 7 months, and he'll bid babyhood goodbye before we (or his parents) can blink.
But you know what? I'm glad to hear Snooki is making this decision for her son's sake, and it's sweet hearing her talk about the childhood her parents gave her in regular old Poughkeepsie, New York (that's right, Snooki is only a Jersey transplant). She may be world famous these days, but she knows better than to think that's what her kid needs to be happy.
Isn't what she's talking about exactly what the best parents try to do for their kids? We try to find the best pieces of our childhoods and re-create them for our kids? Whether it's reliving our favorite bonding activities with Mom and Dad or making the decision over private vs. public schools based on our own experiences, a large part of parenting is trying to remember what it was like to be a kid so that OUR kids can benefit from our memories.
Will we miss Snooki making us laugh on TV? Of course. But this is one decision out of her that truly makes us smile ... with her that is.
Are you trying to create a childhood like yours for your child? What do you most want to repeat for them?

But Richard Dawkins is eloquent in his observations and everyone should be reminded how unintentional life really is. So many people talk about how much they honestly believe that they should be guaranteed some power and importance in this world. Maybe religion helps alleviate the fear that arises when some of us recognize how unlikely that is: however I can say religion offers me nothing when I consider how brief our time is.
When you think about it, the planet existed long before our consciousness ever sparked and it will go on for a very long time after we're no longer here. Whatever happiness we have is right now and if we're to live fully, we need to embrace the majesty that the natural world provides us. It is fleeting and sometimes very harsh, but it can be so much more if we don't squander it on the illusions modern society pushes on us.
Excerpt from Chapter I, "The Anaesthetic of Familiarity" of Richard Dawkins 1998 book Unweaving the Rainbow
To live at all is miracle enough. ~ Mervyn Peake, The Glassblower (1950)
We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.
Moralists and theologians place great weight upon the moment of conception, seeing it as the instant at which the soul comes into existence. If, like me, you are unmoved by such talk, you still must regard a particular instant, nine months before your birth, as the most decisive event in your personal fortunes. It is the moment at which your consciousness suddenly became trillions of times more foreseeable than it was a split second before. To be sure, the embryonic you that came into existence still had plenty of hurdles to leap. Most conceptuses end in early abortion before their mother even knew they were there, and we are all lucky not to have done so. Also, there is more to personal identity than genes, as identical twins (who separate after the moment of fertilization) show us. Nevertheless, the instant at which a particular spermatozoon penetrated a particular egg was, in your private hindsight, a moment of dizzying singularity. It was then that the odds against your becoming a person dropped from astronomical to single figures.
The lottery starts before we are conceived. Your parents had to meet, and the conception of each was as improbable as your own. And so on back, through your four grandparents and eight great grandparents, back to where it doesn't bear thinking about. Desmond Morris opens his autobiography, Animal Days (1979), in characteristically arresting vein:
Napoleon started it all. If it weren't for him, I might not be sitting here now writing these words … for it was one of his cannonballs, fired in the Peninsular War, that shot off the arm of my great-great-grandfather, James Morris, and altered the whole course of my family history.
Morris tells how his ancestor's enforced change of career had various knock-on effects culminating in his own interest in natural history. But he really needn't have bothered. There's no 'might' about it. Of course he owes his very existence to Napoleon. So do I and so do you. Napoleon didn't have to shoot off James Morris's arm in order to seal young Desmond's fate, and yours and mine, too. Not just Napoleon but the humblest medieval peasant had only to sneeze in order to affect something which changed something else which, after a long chain reaction, led to the consequence that one of your would-be ancestors failed to be your ancestor and became somebody else's instead. I'm not talking about 'chaos theory', or the equally trendy 'complexity theory', but just about the ordinary statistics of causation. The thread of historical events by which our existence hangs is wincingly tenuous.
When compared with the stretch of time unknown to us, O king, the present life of men on earth is like the flight of a single sparrow through the hall where, in winter, you sit with your captains and ministers. Entering at one door and leaving by another, while it is inside it is untouched by the wintry storm; but this brief interval of calm is over in a moment, and it returns to the winter whence it came, vanishing from your sight. Man's life is similar; and of what follows it, or what went before, we are utterly ignorant. ~ The Venerable Bede, A History of the English Church and People (731)
This is another respect in which we are lucky. The universe is older than a hundred million centuries. Within a comparable time the sun will swell to a red giant and engulf the earth. Every century of hundreds of millions has been in its time, or will be when its time comes, 'the present century'. Interestingly, some physicists don't like the idea of a 'moving present', regarding it as a subjective phenomenon for which they find no house room in their equations. But it is a subjective argument I am making. How it feels to me, and I guess to you as well, is that the present moves from the past to the future, like a tiny spotlight, inching its way along a gigantic ruler of time. Everything behind the spotlight is in darkness, the darkness of the dead past. Everything ahead of the spotlight is in the darkness of the unknown future. The odds of your century being the one in the spotlight are the same as the odds that a penny, tossed down at random, will land on a particular ant crawling somewhere along the road from New York to San Francisco. In other words, it is overwhelmingly probable that you are dead.
In spite of these odds, you will notice that you are, as a matter of fact, alive. People whom the spotlight has already passed over, and people whom the spotlight has not reached, are in no position to read a book. I am equally lucky to be in a position to write one, although I may not be when you read these words. Indeed, I rather hope that I shall be dead when you do. Don't misunderstand me. I love life and hope to go on for a long time yet, but any author wants his works to reach the largest possible readership. Since the total future population is likely to outnumber my contemporaries by a large margin, I cannot but aspire to be dead when you see these words. Facetiously seen, it turns out to be no more than a hope that my book will not soon go out of print. But what I see as I write is that I am lucky to be alive and so are you.
We live on a planet that is all but perfect for our kind of life: not too warm and not too cold, basking in kindly sunshine, softly watered; a gently spinning, green and gold harvest festival of a planet. Yes, and alas, there are deserts and slums; there is starvation and racking misery to be found. But take a look at the competition. Compared with most planets this is paradise, and parts of earth are still paradise by any standards. What are the odds that a planet picked at random would have these complaisant properties? Even the most optimistic calculation would put it at less than one in a million.
Imagine a spaceship full of sleeping explorers, deep-frozen would-be colonists of some distant world. Perhaps the ship is on a forlorn mission to save the species before an unstoppable comet, like the one that killed the dinosaurs, hits the home planet. The voyagers go into the deep-freeze soberly reckoning the odds against their spaceship's ever chancing upon a planet friendly to life. If one in a million planets is suitable at best, and it takes centuries to travel from each star to the next, the spaceship is pathetically unlikely to find a tolerable, let alone safe, haven for its sleeping cargo.
But imagine that the ship's robot pilot turns out to be unthinkably lucky. After millions of years the ship does find a planet capable of sustaining life: a planet of equable temperature, bathed in warm starshine, refreshed by oxygen and water. The passengers, Rip van Winkles, wake stumbling into the light. After a million years of sleep, here is a whole new fertile globe, a lush planet of warm pastures, sparkling streams and waterfalls, a world bountiful with creatures, darting through alien green felicity. Our travellers walk entranced, stupefied, unable to believe their unaccustomed senses or their luck.
As I said, the story asks for too much luck; it would never happen. And yet, isn't that what has happened to each one of us? We have woken after hundreds of millions of years asleep, defying astronomical odds. Admittedly we didn't arrive by spaceship, we arrived by being born, and we didn't burst conscious into the world but accumulated awareness gradually through babyhood. The fact that we slowly apprehend our world, rather than suddenly discover it, should not subtract from its wonder.
Of course I am playing tricks with the idea of luck, putting the cart before the horse. It is no accident that our kind of life finds itself on a planet whose temperature, rainfall and everything else are exactly right. If the planet were suitable for another kind of life, it is that other kind of life that would have evolved here. But we as individuals are still hugely blessed. Privileged, and not just privileged to enjoy our planet. More, we are granted the opportunity to understand why our eyes are open, and why they see what they do, in the short time before they close for ever.
Here, it seems to me, lies the best answer to those petty-minded scrooges who are always asking what is the use of science. In one of those mythic remarks of uncertain authorship, Michael Faraday is alleged to have been asked what was the use of science. 'Sir,' Faraday replied. 'Of what use is a new-born child?' The obvious thing for Faraday (or Benjamin Franklin, or whoever it was) to have meant was that a baby might be no use for anything at present, but it has great potential for the future. I now like to think that he meant something else, too: What is the use of bringing a baby into the world if the only thing it does with its life is just work to go on living? If everything is judged by how 'useful' it is — useful for staying alive, that is — we are left facing a futile circularity. There must be some added value. At least a part of life should be devoted to living that life, not just working to stop it ending. This is how we rightly justify spending taxpayers' money endangered species and beautiful buildings. It is how we answer those barbarians who think that wild elephants and historic houses should be preserved only if they 'pay their way'. And science is the same. Of course science pays its way; of course it is useful. But that is not all it is.
After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with colour, bountiful with life. Within decades we must close our eyes again. Isn't it a noble, an enlightened way of spending our brief time in the sun, to work at understanding the universe and how we have come to wake up in it? This is how I answer when I am asked — as I am surprisingly often — why I bother to get up in the mornings. To put it the other way round, isn't it sad to go to your grave without ever wondering why you were born? Who, with such a thought, would not spring from bed, eager to resume discovering the world and rejoicing to be a part of it?

I have the day off from work! No, I didn't call off, it's my scheduled day. I have some serious house cleaning that I want to get done. I also want to find some new tunes for my IPOD. And I want to spend a couple of hours reading. I am reading two books right now, and I thought I would share a little bit of my opinion of them with you all. Now remember everyone, I am BEHIND the times! Let me just go ahead and get this one out of the way!
I am so Behind the times, that I think this is some kind of generic book cover or something. It took me forever to find a picture of it! I found tons of sites that had the hands holding the apple. It made me wonder if I was reading the right book! I was at Walmart last weekend, and finally remembered to look for it. There it was, in paperback for $5.95. Well, I couldn't pass it up. Normally I would buy the hardback, as I just prefer the "feel" of a hardback book over a paperback. If I really get into it, I will go back and spring for the good one. I'm only on page 32 right now, but I think that I am going to like it. I'll keep you posted.
This next one, I started about two weeks ago, and I am having a hard time with it! It started off weird, and it keeps getting weirder. I don't really like it, but I have to know how it ends. Again, behind the times. I would LOVE to go see the Broadway Production, but for now I will struggle through the book. I actually prefer to read a book before seeing the movie or stage performance. So here it is...
I am about half way done with it, and it's my goal to finish it before the end of the week. I keep hoping that there will be that "Ah-Ha" moment where it all comes together, and the weirdness of it all makes so much sense. We'll see!
And I am throwing this review in here as a treat just for you. Go ahead, yell at me.....blow off some steam...throw something at the monitor...kick me out of the chick flick club...question my judgment for what I am about to write...I watched this the other night...
Still. Nothing. I must be doing something wrong, because people LOVE this movie! I love musicals. I even liked "Moulin Rouge" for crying out loud.
What movies did you have high expectations for, that left you feeling like the odd one out?

As boys lacrosse expands — this season brings the addition of Class 4A for the first time — we are also seeing how the talent has spread throughout the state.
Evidence of the new blood: Columbine, which last season made its first trip to the quarterfinals (and then to the semifinals), leads Class 5A's preseason coaches poll. Wheat Ridge, which has never made a trip to a championship game, is on top of 4A.
Yes, the traditional power teams — defending champion Arapahoe, five-time champion Kent Denver, four-time champ Cherry Creek — will still be a factor. But Columbine is leading a new wave of teams in 5A, including Mullen (preseason No. 3), Rock Canyon (No. 7), Mountain Vista (No. 8) and Monarch (No. 10).
Likewise, the addition of 4A will provide an opportunity for others to shine. Wheat Ridge is loaded, and would likely have competed for the 5A championship, but as it is the Farmers are heavy favorites in 4A.
Air Academy's boys have a chance to join the girls in their successes, and Steamboat Springs is also expected to be a player in 4A.
Important dates.
• Thursday: First day of competition.
• May 4: Regular season ends.
• May 8: Playoffs begin.
• May 22: 4A, 5A championships at Sports Authority Field at Mile High.

How did you learn best? As I play with maps of memories, it is games, fun and pleasures that come to mind.
Language teachers have always (at least since I have been a teacher), introduced games in lessons, whether for speaking, reading or writing practice and grammar. A quick search in the ELT literature will show up a wide range of publications focusing on language games.
Today, it is even easier for language teachers and any educator to create their own specific game with freely available tools, or to dip into shared resources and online games. So why are games so appealing to use in classrooms? Consider:

Off2Class a library of games, quizzes and learning activities for ESL. Initially free for a 30 day trial, teachers then need to subscribe.
However, it seems that teachers may still use game resources.
Common Sense is a rich resource for teachers, with an inspiring section, Lesson Flows. One can find lesson plans for different subjects, adapting them as one sees best for one's context. Zombies and Maps - Surviving a Zombie Outbreak Utilizing Latitude and Longitude Skills, is a great example of what you can find there.
Breakout Edu games teach critical thinking, teamwork, complex problem solving, and can be used in all content areas.
Here is an example with Science Detectives - Training Room Escape

weeknight meals
At Nana's house, 1981. Age 5. Say hello to the most delicious Albondigas Soup Recipe… When I get sick, the only thing I can think about is Phil Donahue and soup. It's true. As a child, when I would get sick, my mom (who was a working, single parent), would take me to my Nana and Papa's house, where I would rest and be treated like a royal queen. (It paid to be the only grandchild). On these days, I can vividly remember getting wheat thins from this ginormous pantry that always smelled like red wine vinegar, the uber 70's wallpaper in the kitchen, watching Phil Donahue in the afternoons, and Nana making me ...Read More

Let me cut to the chase: weeknight meals stress me out just like you but I made a BOMB chicken tortilla soup that you and all those picky eaters (husbands, I'm talking to you), will love! This simple soup recipe is a variation on a family recipe. The key to me on this soup is grinding up the tortillas and adding them to the soup, then blending the soup, veggies and all, with the tortillas to create a super thick but still chunky consistency. (I make sure to leave some of the veggies and and tomatoes out). You'll add the corn, beans, and chicken after which give it a chunkiness too. Oh, ...Read More
This summer, I've been trying to come up with easy weeknight dinners that are easy and light. Though I usually feel like we always need a protein rich meal, (read: some sort of meat as the focus), with all the amazing fruits and vegetables in season, I realized that maybe it's time to give it a rest. Maybe #meatlessmondays are not such a bad idea… especially since Monday comes right after what I call Vitamin Sunday (i.e. Farmer's Market day). This past weekend, Peter and I had dinner at a restaurant in LA that we love. Now, let me be clear– it's been pretty damn near impossible to feel as moved and amazed ...Read More
Is this fancy iPhone work, or what?! As if life isn't hectic enough, (and that doesn't include wedding planning), I'm hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year for 23 people. Thankfully, everyone is bringing a dish, so all I have to do is cook the turkey (hi, mom), and make the table look pretty (hi, Pinterest). Needless to say, this past week has been a little crazy. In an effort to stay sane (and healthy) during "go, go, go time," I've been leaning on some "go to" recipes that I know I can whip up easily. Some of my go-tos are meatloaf, crockpot turkey chili, shredded chicken tacos and takeout ...Read More
