NYCortaca Continues the Tradition of Togetherness
As families around the country gather together for Thanksgiving, there comes a story out of New York City about Ithaca College alumni gathering to cheer on the Bombers and give back to the community.
NYCortaca, an event that celebrates the match-up between IC and SUNY Cortland, has been held every year since 2009, and it gives alumni living in the Big Apple the chance to get together and relive the traditions they enjoyed as college students. These IC alumni may not have been huddled on the chilly bleachers, but their cheers could still be heard loud and clear.
The alumni also carried on the spirit of giving by collecting food for victims of Hurricane Sandy. The food was donated to the New York Food Bank.
"We filled the back of an SUV to the roof with boxes of canned goods," said Jared J. Smith '06. "It was easily hundreds of pounds of food."
Smith organized the first East Coast event in 2009 after living and working in Los Angeles, California, and attending Cortacal, another satellite watch party. After securing a place to stream the game, the crowds just started coming. Now in its fourth year, NYCortaca doesn't seem to be letting up, growing from just over one hundred people in the first year to over 700 people this year. Smith attributes the success of the event to the strong bonds people form on South Hill.
"I think people are rooting for Ithaca to win the game, but the game is secondary to getting together and reliving that feeling of community you have in college," Smith said.
Smith said the crowd includes recent grads and people who graduated five, 10, or more years ago. He said, "They get to reminisce, tell stories about college and have fun the same way they did during Cortaca weekend when they were actually in Ithaca."
The added food drive was the perfect way to give back, Smith said, without asking people for money.
"That felt good, being able to turn this event into a little more than just partying and watching a football game," Smith said.
Brian Hoeflschweiger '06 has helped Smith organize the event in the past and looks forward to the crowds of IC alumni each year. He said, "The sheer size of this event is a testament to the sense of community that IC alumni feel."
This year's NYCortaca was at the Brooklyn Bowl, but with a growing crowd it may need an even bigger space next year.
"Each venue thus far has provided a unique experience and I can't wait to see where we celebrate next year," Hoeflschweiger said.
Leanne Gabinelli '08 said no matter one's borough or occupation, everyone comes together each November for the big game.
"When you are at NYCortaca, you forget for a minute that you are an accountant or marketing associate or lawyer and you really feel like you are back in college with all your friends watching the game!" Gabinelli said.

Attaching big names to audio products has become a popular trend. The Dr Dre-endorsed Monster Beats headphones are now some of the most popular around – even Lady Gaga has leant her name to a pair. Now it's Bob Marley's turn. House of Marley's new range of earphones and headphones is huge, and the Freedom Zion Mist sits at the top of the in-ear line.
While the Zion Mist earphones have audiophile aspirations, part of the House of Marley image has little to do with sound quality. Wherever possible, they are made from recyclable materials, and the packaging they come in is itself recycled.
The earbuds are made using a mix of aluminium and wood, in line with the "natural" leanings of the brand image. The back bit is aluminium, while a ring of wood sits near the end, softening the look of these earphones. This wood appears to be sonically inert, there for the look rather than to colour the sound.
We think this wooded approach works better in the black version of the Zion Mist, where the wood is stained dark. In the light silver version we reviewed, it has something of the flavour of a piece of pine furniture from Ikea. It is a proper little bit of wood though, with natural grain visible – and House of Marley says they are FSC-certified too, meaning the wood used been reaped in a sustainable manner. A cynical mind might question the need for this wood when it, as far as we can tell, is just there for the look.
The darker edition looks pretty moody
This dual-material construction works extremely well in use, turning the part most susceptible to wear into the strongest. The back is ergonomically moulded to your finger grip, making taking them in and out of your ears feel that little bit better. It's a pity the cable is not removable – a very desirable feature in an expensive earphone – but the quality of construction is excellent.
Common to all the House of Marley headphones, the 52in cable is braided and daubed with the colours of the Rastafari movement, yellow, green and red. This is the only part of the Zion Mist that is aggressively Marley-themed – this model is classier than most of the range, although the whole Freedom line-up is rather more mature-looking than the deliberately outlandish Jammin' models. Still, the design is unusual enough to stand out among other sets a similar price, such as the Shure SE215 and Phonak PFE 012.
Looks aside, the Freedom Zion Mist earphones are pretty standard fare, spec-wise. They use single 9mm dynamic drivers claiming a 20Hz-20,000Hz frequency response. At this price, many manufacturers start to use balanced armature drivers rather than the dynamic type. Although one doesn't necessarily offer better sound quality than the other, armature drivers tend to have a higher precision sound though with less bass. However they are better-suited to the demands of the high-end headphone buyer.
They come bundled with a selection of single- and dual-flanged rubber tips. No foam tips are included, but we found the supplied tips extremely comfortable. Getting a fit with these earphones is blissfully simple – unlike some other pairs you can simply bung 'em in. This is likely because of the tiny holes bored into the underside of each earbud, which act as an escape route for the onrush of air caused when inserted into your ears.
House of Marley also includes a handsfree and remote housing, designed to work with iOS devices, and a carry pouch. In keeping with the eco-friendly vibe, it's made from hemp and leather. Much nicer than the average, but not in itself a reason to buy.

How Brat won
GLEN ALLEN, Va. — Eric Cantor had several million dollars, seasoned political consultants and a poll-tested message.
Dave Brat had two paid staffers who ran his campaign on a flip phone.
Story Continued Below
That contrast is a microcosm of the difference in sophistication between Cantor's campaign, and the insurgent challenge of Dave Brat, a relatively unknown economics professor from Randolph-Macon College. And it illustrates just how shocking it is that Brat was able to topple the majority leader after 13 years representing Virginia's conservative Seventh District in Washington.
( Also on POLITICO: How Big Money failed to rescue Cantor)
In interviews here with Brat and Cantor allies, and Brat himself, a sketch of the insurgent's winning strategy emerges — and it runs completely counter to the conventional wisdom of this election cycle.
This year was branded as one where the establishment strikes back. In some places, it has — Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) toppled his tea party challenger by running an aggressive campaign.
But people in Cantor and Brat's camps say that the majority leader struck back too hard.
Cantor's aides take pride in running a strong race against any candidate — Democrat or Republican. But the $2 million Cantor spent to brand Brat as a liberal professor may have had the reverse effect, people close to him and Brat say. It showed voters there was an alternative to Cantor -and that was exactly what many voters wanted.
( Also on POLITICO: For Jewish Republicans: Oy veh)
"The negative ads calling me a liberal professor at first they started off with kind of comic strips," Brat said in an interview here late Tuesday night. "And everyone kind of liked them. Me and my boy watched them the first night and kind of died laughing. We thought they were funny."
"They gave me $1 million in name ID and I think that got us going, I think. I'm not a political expert on that, but I think they kind of saw that was happening and they made those a little darker, and they were black and green and looked like a Star Wars thing by the time they got done with it – it made me look like a pretty serious guy."
In both Richmond and Washington, the political class is stunned by Cantor's defeat. But in an April interview with POLITICO, and again Tuesday night, Brat maintained that he thought he had Cantor cornered. He just didn't have the polling or political operation to prove it.
On Tuesday night, when the 11-point win was in the books, Brat conceded he was shocked. His supporters flooded the atrium of an office building here in the Richmond suburbs. But Brat sat removed from the action in an office with empty soda cans strewn across a table, chatting on his cellphone. A few volunteers, aides and supporters ate freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and crackers. Brat was sifting through 100 voice mails and 300 texts and emails, he said. Brat said he had not spoken to Cantor since the majority leader conceded in a ballroom at a Westin Hotel in Richmond.
( Also on POLITICO: Who is Dave Brat?)
National mood, he said, played a role in his victory.
"I think it was just kind of a perfect combination of when I was walking door-to-door, you just go up to the door and talk to the average person and everybody is in agreement that the country's on the wrong track, right?" he said, before appearing on Sean Hannity's Fox News program.
"You just walk up to the door and say, 'How are you doing?' and everyone knows we're on the wrong track. The problem with modern politics is everybody is doing sound bite stuff. In my stump speech, I give 20 minutes on why I think we're off track. And I think people do really want to engage in a serious high-level discussion on how to get the country back on track because people care about their own country."
Indeed, Brat did talk about policy in his stump speech. He railed on Cantor for enabling President Barack Obama, said he supported "amnesty" for undocumented immigrants and blamed him for lax insider trading rules for lawmakers and aides on Capitol Hill.

From my interests in fibre, I have met many other shepherds and all of our goals are to raise happy healthy animals that give us lovely fibre to spin. I have been working over the past few years to increase the softness and fineness of my shetland sheep while maintaining the breed standard of a well built hardy self sufficient animal that grows well and has few problems at lambing time. I am starting to see the fruits of my labour pay off this year and have been able to launch a line of shetland wool products called HOPEFUL SHETLAND, all from my own animals.

INDIANAPOLIS - Shortly before he left home for Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Marco Andretti watched a documentary that showed his grandfather, Mario, at the famed track.
"It was him and (radio announcer) Paul Page, they were walking down the start finish line and he said, 'You know, I always said I hated this place,'" Andretti recalled. "And then he paused for a while and said, 'I lied.' That pretty much tells it all. We've been through a lot here, but we live for it."
Five different drivers from the famed Andretti clan have combined to make 80 starts in the Indianapolis 500. Mario Andretti's 1969 victory remains the lone win and the family has been answering questions about the "Andretti Curse" for decades now.
It was Michael Andretti who had it the worst, leading 431 laps in 16 career starts and never getting a chance to drink the celebratory milk.
But it's not been any easier for Marco, the third-generation driver who has suffered his own share of heartache at Indy. He was passed by Sam Hornish Jr. on the final straightaway in 2006, when he raced as a 19-year-old rookie with his father in the field. Hornish won the race, and Marco and Michael finished second and third.
He believes he gave away the 2008 race, which was won by Scott Dixon while Andretti finished third. There was another third-place finish in 2010, and then he went into last year's race convinced it was "mine to lose."
"And we lost it," he said Thursday with a shrug.
Upset with his car all day, even as he led a race-high 59 laps, an ill-timed caution shuffled Andretti back into the field after a pit stop. He was struggling with his handling, and crashed out of the race 13 laps from the finish.
So the curse has been passed down, even as Andretti does his best to put his own positive spin on the suffering.
"I believe that as a family, having one win in 70-something tries, that's frustrating as competitors," he said. "But I think we're blessed as a family because we are all healthy. And I am still young, knock on wood, and I'll have a lot of shots at this race. So I'm blessed because we are able to compete. I love this place and it's an honor to be able to compete."
He then took his own pause before continuing, "But we want to win, dammit."
Andretti has another shot on Sunday when he starts third, on the front row for the first time in his career. Funny thing is, he wasn't even focused on qualifying and the best starting spot of his career came as something of a surprise.
And all five of the Andretti Autosport entries have been fast this month, and teammates James Hinchcliffe and Ryan Hunter-Reay combined to win three of the first four races this year.
Andretti, meanwhile, is off to the best start of his career after a focused offseason of figuring out what he needed to do to be better. The results are two podium finishes so far this year and he heads into the Indy 500 - a race he's always considered a contender regardless of how his season started - ranked second in the IndyCar standings.
"Marco sort of woke up halfway through last year and decided that he needed to be better for himself," said Hinchcliffe. "The effort we saw over the offseason was a big change. He is a different guy. He was at the shop a lot more, he contacted his engineer a lot more, he was really focusing on himself a lot more. And it shows. He's second in points, he's off to the strongest start of his career. And he's just consistent. And he's aggressive.
"I think he's going to have a breakout year and I hate to admit it, but this one might be his. This guy gets Indy better than most."
His grandfather sees it, too, in the 26-year-old standard bearer.
"He just loves this joint," Mario Andretti said. "He knows his way around here, and he has excellent race craft here."
Andretti doesn't harp on the offseason work he put into his career, which came at the end of a season in which Hunter-Reay won his first championship and Hinchcliffe had a breakout year in his first season with Andretti Autosport. The namesake, meanwhile, finished a career-worst 15th in the standings.
So he worked with a driving coach, studied his weaknesses and recommitted himself to his career. It's no coincidence he now admits racing simply wasn't fun for him last year.
All that work has helped him to this strong start, and helped him recapture his love of racing.
But four-time IndyCar champion Dario Franchitti, who has known Andretti since he was a kid and was his teammate in 2006, said the joy everyone sees now comes from running well on the track - something Andretti has worked hard for.
"Marco has really calmed down. He just seems a lot more focused, but I don't want to use that word because that would be a disservice to what he's done before," Franchitti said. "But I think he's got his priorities straight. He's got all the talent in the world, he just needed to get it funneled. And he seems to have done that."
And Franchitti notes that Andretti races with a pressure no one else in IndyCar can understand.
"Marco has something that none of us have - he's got to live up to his name," Franchitti said. "He's not his grandfather, and he's not his father, and a lot of fans will never forgive him for that. They are savage about him, and they were the same with Michael because Michael wasn't Mario. And so even when Marco does something well, Marco can never do anything right. And that's not his fault."
His birthright can also be a burden, but one that gave him a magical childhood of hanging around the old speedway motel, listening to announcer Tom Carnegie, watching everything he could on closed circuit TV as he figured out ways to sneak into the garage at the historic race track.
So it's difficult sometimes to keep from daydreaming about kissing The Yard of Bricks, dousing himself in milk and celebrating with his family.
"I have to stop myself from thinking what it would be like," Andretti said. "But I think it would be all of our misfortunes, it would be so bittersweet that it would all come out with one victory. I think it would be so emotional for the family. That one victory is going to make up for a lot of things. God willing. That would be awesome."

Referee Signals in American Football
A lot of gesturing goes on during a football game. The hand signals to pay attention to are those made by the referee. Their signals help you understand what just happened on the field.
Maybe a player grabbed another player's face mask, resulting in a penalty. Maybe a coach called a timeout. Maybe someone scored. All of these actions — and dozens of others — have a corresponding hand signal to communicate to the fans and the timekeepers what just happened on the field of play. You can see the different types of signals, grouped by similarities, at the following links:

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – Miranda Cornejo scored on a header 3:20 into the first half of overtime to give UC Santa Barbara a 1-0 win over visiting Pacific on Friday night.
Cornejo's first goal of the season came off of a low arching corner kick from Geneve Dromensk. Cornejo redirected the corner, bouncing it past Tiger goalkeeper Tashia Long. While it was Cornejo who scored the goal on an assist by by Dromensk, it was all made possible by Angelisa Cortez.
The Gauchos (2-2-1) were awarded the corner after an outstanding hustle play by Cortez who pursued a Pacific (0-4-1) defender to the end line and then used her body to maneuver around the opponent and knock the ball off her and over the end line.
The Gauchos' goal ended a defensive battle that saw UCSB outshoot the Tigers 14-5. Long was up to the task for most of the night as she recorded six saves. Beth Ritter, making her second career start in the stead of injured Makenna Henry, was credited with her first career victory and shutout. The win was the Gauchos first over Pacific since 2003 (0-3-5).
The win was also a nice rebound for Santa Barbara, which lost 1-0 in the last minute of the second overtime on Sunday at Loyola Marymount.
The Gauchos remain at home and will host Cincinnati on Sunday at noon at Meredith Field at Harder Stadium. Tickets can be purchased by logging on to UCSBgauchos.com or one-hour prior to kick-off at the Harder Stadium box office.

Wait, you can make money playing games?
Yes, it's a job now.
Some sites and mobile game companies will pay you for testing their game. The good news about it is they're getting more and more millennials and influencers (like Instagram Models!) to attract people to play their game.
It's good if you register in several sites to get familiar with the process and get to see different offers. It's just like freelancing.
Many people make money playing games but what they don't know is there's no age limit for this. It just depends on the company on who they're making the game for.
But this isn't an overnight quick-rich scheme. It's still hard work. Sometimes they'll want you to test the game for long hours.
So better treat like an office job. Well, a more fun and exciting office job where your boss pays you to shoot stuff.
By the way, don't forget to register with paying sites like Paypal and update your resume before trying to get a video game testing project. You're playing to have fun but doesn't excuse you for not being professional.
It's their research to see if the game will do good or not. And some of them (I kid you not) are from affiliates of the military. Don't ask me why it's probably confidential.
Now here are a few sites for you to choose from to play games that will pay you.
Author's note: I am simply trying to boost my blog traffic. I am not affiliated with any of these sites and companies. I will not give you their links. You can search for them yourself in Google.
1. Swagbucks
Swagbucks is more than just a gaming site. It's where users can earn, uhm, "Swagbucks" points for finishing hard tasks… like surfing the internet, answering surveys, and watching videos (yep, not kidding).
It's an extremely popular website that pays its users to play games online at the comfort of their home. This site, believe it or not, has paid over $150 million to their top-ranked users!
2. GSN Cash Games
GSN Cash Games is the most trusted site by gamers everywhere in the world. Only problem is they usually have cheap projects.
It's a hub for money-paying game companies that can pay you as much as $50 per hour. Sometimes they even do crowdsourcing project and pose it as a contest. And the winner gets the prize!
3. Bingo! Zone
Remember what I said about these companies hiring ANYONE AT ANY AGE? Here's why.
Games aren't only limited to killing and fighting scenes. You also have simple ones like BINGO.
Created by Gameville, Bingo Zone was made for people who love playing Bingo. Most of the time they give projects to people above 30 years of age.
4. Second Life
Ever heard of a Chinese girl named Anshe Chung? She was the first-ever lad to earn one million dollars when she converted her game assets to real money. Go ahead, Google it.
This made Second Life popular as hell to game lovers, especially to those who used to play The Sims.
Now more than 2 million active gamers test games for Second Life. Making it a very competitive place for you if you're just starting out.
5. Inbox Dollars
Inbox Dollars is a reward site that's like Swagbucks, they pay you for doing different tasks including playing different games created by app developers.
The difference is they offer GSN Cash Games which allow you to get paid to play games that are GSN hosted.
They have paid over $50 million to their users and are planning to expand their company. This is a hint for you to get in the game early if you want to get in this exciting new job trend of being a paid game tester.
6. App Cent

7. Cash Crate
Cash Crate is another reward site like Swagbucks and Inbox Dollars. You earn points by doing different tasks and one of them is by playing games.
Completing an activity in here can pay you up to $50.
You also have tournaments where the winner receives a prize. Though their tournaments require a certain fee to enter.

More are out there…
There are more out there but these are sites that I have tried and experienced first hand. You can use any of these sites to start making some side money. Though I don't recommend you make it your actual job as project volumes are very spontaneous.
Just do it for fun and some extra cash, that's it! And it doesn't matter if you're young or old they'll likely hire you if you qualify. Good luck!

My family room draperies are completed and I think it was worth the wait. Take a look……
This is the track that I won from Somfy when I went to Inspire. The track can be ordered for pinch pleat or ripplefold draperies.
Here is a close up of the ripplefold heading. It's a great look for more modern settings and the stack back is less. The track is attached to a wood fascia that I painted gold.
The fabric came from Spoonflower, they are a company in NC that prints custom fabric. The designer was so great to work with; she was able to adjust the color and pattern repeat to exactly what I wanted.
I think Zoe likes the new look. What about you ?
That was my first YouTube video…. Could I sound any more Southern ?
Custom window treatments can be the single most important element in pulling together your decorating scheme.

Ms. Teklu's students have little control over their life

bluesign® Approved Fabric
Patagonia has worked with bluesign technologies since 2000 to evaluate and reduce resource consumption in our materials supply chain, and to assist us with managing the chemicals, dyes and finishes used in the process. bluesign technologies, based in Switzerland, works at each step in the textile supply chain to approve chemicals, processes, materials, and products that are safe for the environment, safe for workers, and safe for the end customers.
In 2007, Patagonia became the first brand to officially join the network of bluesign® system partners.
Any fabric you see that's bluesign® approved offers the highest level of consumer safety by employing methods and materials in their manufacture that conserve resources and minimize impacts on people and the environment.
Odor Resistant
Polygiene® odor control permanently protects your garments from smelling like a middle school locker room. Sweat itself is odorless, but it creates the conditions that bacteria need to multiply, and some of those bacteria produce odors. Polygiene permanent odor control stops the growth of odor-causing bacteria on fabrics, so you can wear more and wash less.
Active only on the fabric surface, Polygiene permanent odor control does not interfere with perspiration or with the skin's natural bacterial flora. Polygiene particles are more than 100 times larger than nanoparticles and therefore are too large to penetrate to the skin's barrier. Polygiene-treated fabrics have received Medical Class 1 approval in Europe, the same class that includes bandages.

When my buddy Brian dropped by, I was at the kitchen table rigging up a couple new tip-ups I'd recently given to my son. I was hoping to take my teenager ice fishing over the weekend, but I wanted to make sure I picked a spot that we would have a lot of action. My friend suggested I take him out on a bay at the north end of Lake Winnipesaukee where he fishes with his sons. He told me they catch some big pickerel out there and if I was game, he'd take me out there that day and show me right where to go with Ian.
"Our kids are in school today," he said. "What do you say we pack up our gear and head out there just to make sure the fish are biting, after all we wouldn't want you to to bring him to a spot where you don't catch fish?"
"You say there are big pickerel out there?" I asked.
"Giant ones," he replied with a grin. "My sons have caught a quite a few that measured more than 25 inches long."
"Well I can't take him out there if I don't know where to go," I answered. "So, I guess we better gather up our gear and go check it out."
Brian headed home to get his gear together and I quickly tossed a couple tip-ups, a jigging rod and some jigs, extra hooks, leader and some sinkers in a bucket and headed out to meet my friend. By the time I arrived at his house, he had everything loaded in his truck and after loading my gear we made the hour long drive to a snowmobile trail that lead us onto the bay.
"Where do fish out here?" I asked as we dragged the sled through the snowonto the ice.
"Do you see that little island over there to your left?' Brian asked. "We like to set up about a hundred yards off the end of it."
We followed some snowmobile tracks right out to where we were going to fish, then as Brian cleared snow off the spots he wanted to set up a tip-up, I cut the holes with the power auger.
"The water out here is about twenty-five feet deep and there is a thick bed of weeds long the bottom," he said. "Make sure you sound for bottom and mark you lines about three feet from the bottom so you can keep your minnows just off the weeds."
I took his advise and set my two tip-ups three feet off the bottom. Since we were fishing for pickerel, I made certain to hook my live shiners through the mouth, rather than through the back. Then after Brian and I both had our traps set, we flipped over our plastic buckets for seats and poured a hot cup of coffee.
"All we've got to do now is wait," Brian said as he grasped the warm cup with both hands and blew into the cup.
Nearly a half hour went by before we watched the first flag pop high into the air.
"That one's yours," Brian yelled as we both sprang from our seats. "Just take it easy. We've only got six-pound leader on there and you know how sharp their teeth are. I've snapped off quite a few out here in the past."
When we got to the tip-up the reel was still spinning slowly. I waited for it to stop before I knelt down and eased the tip-up from the hole. Then I slowly lifted the line until I felt some resistance before setting the hook easily.
I felt some real weight on the line immediately as I slowly gained back some of the line the fish ran off when it bit. I could feel it shake its head when it got close to the hole, then it ran off nearly all the line that I'd gained. A short time later it flashed by the hole and we could tell it was a pretty good one. I carefully worked its head into the hole and slid the 24-inch pickerel onto the ice.
"That's what I'm talking about!" Brian yelled as he gave me a high five. "That's gonna make some fine chowdah."
I baited the hook and sent the shiner down the hole again. Before I got the flag set I looked over Brian's shoulder just in time to watch another flag pop high into the air.
"Your turn," I said pointing to the tip-up.
Brian hobbled off and by the time I got over there, he was already fighting the fish.
"I don't think it's as big as the one you just caught," he said as he made short work of bringing the fish to the hole. Moments later he slid a fat thirteen inch white perch onto the ice.
"That's the first white perch I ever caught out here," he revealed as he quickly baited the hook again.
Before he was able to set the flag again something grabbed the bait. He set the hook, tossed the tip-up on the ice and battled another good fish to the ice. It was a fat 24-inch long pickerel
We were excited to see that second big pickerel and about an hour later when yet another flag popped, I was hoping for another one. However, when I set the hook, I pulled it out of the fishes mouth.
"Missed that one!" I shouted
We ended up losing two other fish but managed to land one more big pickerel that measured nearly 27 inches long before we ran out of bait and had to call it a day.
"So do you think your son will enjoy fishing out here?" Brian asked as we dragged the sled back to shore.
"I think these huge pickerel might even make him put the I-Pod away for a few hours," I replied with a laugh.
"When he sends a text to his buddies and sends them a picture of the big fish he's catching, maybe their dads will take them fishing too," he added.
