COLLEGEVILLE – A year ago this weekend, No. 12 St. Thomas Football faced No. 8 St. John's here perhaps as a slight underdog, but used the bruising running game of junior halfback Jordan Roberts behind a dominant offensive line to break a halftime tie and win 35-14.
On Saturday, the No. 4 Tommies (4-0) arrived here perhaps as a slight favorite over No. 6 St. John's, and with Roberts sidelined by an injury they turned to different heroes – a freshman halfback and an opportunistic defense that forced five turnovers – for a 33-21 win.
The win didn't come easily. The Johnnies (3-1) rallied from a 27-7 second half deficit to cut the St. Thomas lead to six points with five minutes to go before halfback Josh Parks broke loose for a 46-yard touchdown run.
It was the third straight win for St. Thomas over St. John's and came before 16,514 fans in Clemens Stadium, the second-largest crowd in Division III football history behind 17,327 at the St. Thomas-St. John's game last year. The road team has won the last five regular-season games between the two teams.
Coach Glenn Caruso was effusive in his post-game praise for his defense. He cited linebacker Adam Brant (14 tackles, including two for losses and two forced fumbles), cornerback Michael Alada (two interceptions and six tackles) and lineman Anthony King-Foreman (touchdown run off a fumble recovery).
"Anthony's scoop and run came at a critical moment," Caruso said of the second-quarter play, when King-Foreman picked up a fumble by St. John's quarterback Jackson Erdmann after a Steve Harrell sack and ran 57 yards for a 13-7 lead. "Honestly, I didn't have a good vibe at that point in the game."
Defense plays key role in first half
The play by Harrell and King-Foreman highlighted a defensive effort that forced three St. John's fumbles in the first half and led to 14 of St. Thomas' 20 points before the break.
Ryan Winter recovered a St. John's fumble on its second play from scrimmage on the opening drive, and five plays later quarterback Alex Fenske scored on a five-yard keeper. The extra point gave the Tommies a quick 7-0 lead.
On its next series, St. Thomas drove to the St John's 20 behind 54 rushing yards from halfback Tucker Trettel, but the Johnnies blocked a 37-yard field goal attempt by Carter Schmitz. Four plays later, Erdmann found a receiver on a short pass route and a St. Thomas defender jarred the ball loose, but it was snared in midair by receiver Evan Clark. He raced 68 yards down the sideline for a touchdown to tie the game at 7-7.
Three plays into the second quarter, Harrell forced the Erdmann fumble – the first time he had been sacked this season – and King-Foreman ran for the lead. The Johnnies blocked Schmitz's kick.
"We practice that play every day: scoop, run and score," King-Foreman said. "I'm thankful I was in the right spot at the right time. The ball was close – a couple of feet away – and I fielded it like a ground ball and ran. I was a little out of breath at the end."
Chuck Foreman, the father of King-Foreman and a star running back for the Minnesota Vikings in
the 1970s, stood near his son during post-game interviews and smiled when asked about the play. "I'm so proud of Anthony as a football player and a young man," Foreman said. "He's special."
St. Thomas stopped St. John's on the next series, thanks to a fourth-down sack, and took over at the Johnnies' 38. The Tommies drove to the St. John's 11 and kicked a field goal, but St. John's roughed kicker Bryan Steinsapir and St. Thomas had new life with a first down. Two plays later, halfback Trucker Trettel scored from the 5. Steinsapir made the extra point kick for a 20-7 lead.
St. John's drove to the St. Thomas 27 with a minute left in the first half, but another Johnnie fumble – this one recovered by Matt Mitchell – ended the threat.
Pace slows in second half
Erdmann's first interception of the year led to seven more St. Thomas points early in the third quarter. Cornerback Michael Alada picked off his third pass, and 10 plays later Parks ran it in from the 2 for a 27-7 lead with 8:12 left in the third quarter.
St. John's bounced back with an eight-play, 61-yard drive to trail 27-14. Erdmann completed three passes of 14 or more yards, including a 20-yarder for a touchdown on 3rd and 11.
Fenske threw his first interception on the next series, but St. John's had back-to-back three-and-out possessions, the second one ending with a punt blocked by Jordan Lundell. The Tommies again couldn't move the ball, and Steinsapir missed a 42-yard field goal.
St. John's drove 76 yards on the ensuing drive, capping it with a 30-yard Erdmann touchdown pass with 5:08 remaining. The first seven plays of the drive were runs, but on the eighth play Erdmann threw the scoring pass, and suddenly it was 27-21.
The Tommies picked up one first down on a third-and-9 pass from Fenske to Luke Iverson near midfield. Parks ran for two yards and then busted a 46-yard touchdown run off right tackle to cap the victory with two minutes to go.
"We had been running the play all game," said Parks, who transferred from the University of Minnesota after looking at St. John's. "I knew we had a chance to break it. We just kept pounding the ball. I was fortunate. Once I broke a tackle at the line, I knew I just had to beat the safety."
The touchdown run gave Parks 109 rushing yards on the day, his second straight 100-yard game off the bench. He ran for 143 yards a week ago against Carleton, with touchdown runs of 70 and 57 yards.
During a post-game interview on WCCO Radio, which broadcast the game, announcer Dave Lee remarked that the sun came out right at the end of the game to break up the day-long overcast skies.
"The sun does shine on St. Thomas today," Caruso responded.
Tommie Notes
• St. John's outgained St. Thomas 328 to 308 yards, holding a 245 to 114-yard edge in the air. The Tommies won the ground game, 194 to 83 yards. Aside from two runs of 37 and 17 yards, St. John's had only 29 yards in 31 rushes.
• Erdman came into the game ranked second nationally with a quarterback efficiency rating of 236.2, 12 touchdown passes, no interceptions and no sacks. The Tommies picked him off twice, sacked him four times and forced a fumble off a sack.
• Fenske, No. 6 nationally in quarterback ratings, had a quiet day with nine completions in 18 attempts and one interception. His 114 passing yards put him over 3,000 for his career, giving him 3,101.
• St. Thomas returns home on Oct. 1 for a Homecoming game against Augsburg. The Auggies (1-3) won their first game Saturday with a 49-17 win over Carleton.

Document Type
- Doctoral Thesis (2) (remove)
- Modulraum (2) (remove)
In this thesis the combinatorial framework of toric geometry is extended to equivariant sheaves over toric varieties. The central questions are how to extract combinatorial information from the so developed description and whether equivariant sheaves can, like toric varieties, be considered as purely combinatorial objects. The thesis consists of three main parts. In the first part, by systematically extending the framework of toric geometry, a formalism is developed for describing equivariant sheaves by certain configurations of vector spaces. In the second part, homological properties of a certain class of equivariant sheaves are investigated, namely that of reflexive equivariant sheaves. Several kinds of resolutions for these sheaves are constructed which depend only on the configuration of their associated vector spaces. Thus a partially positive answer to the question of combinatorial representability is given. As a particular result, a new way for computing minimal resolutions for Z^n - graded modules over polynomial rings is obtained. In the third part a complete classification of the simplest nontrivial sheaves, equivariant vector bundles of rank two over smooth toric surfaces, is given. A combinatorial characterization is given and parameter spaces (moduli spaces) are constructed which depend only on this characterization. In appendices a outlook on equivariant sheaves and the relation of Chern classes to their combinatorial classification is given, particularly focussing on the case of the projective plane. A classification of equivariant vector bundles of rank three over the projective plane is given.
In this dissertation we consider complex, projective hypersurfaces with many isolated singularities. The leading questions concern the maximal number of prescribed singularities of such hypersurfaces in a given linear system, and geometric properties of the equisingular stratum. In the first part a systematic introduction to the theory of equianalytic families of hypersurfaces is given. Furthermore, the patchworking method for constructing hypersurfaces with singularities of prescribed types is described. In the second part we present new existence results for hypersurfaces with many singularities. Using the patchworking method, we show asymptotically proper results for hypersurfaces in P^n with singularities of corank less than two. In the case of simple singularities, the results are even asymptotically optimal. These statements improve all previous general existence results for hypersurfaces with these singularities. Moreover, the results are also transferred to hypersurfaces defined over the real numbers. The last part of the dissertation deals with the Castelnuovo function for studying the cohomology of ideal sheaves of zero-dimensional schemes. Parts of the theory of this function for schemes in P^2 are generalized to the case of schemes on general surfaces in P^3. As an application we show an H^1-vanishing theorem for such schemes.

Summary – Ideas come first in a team, then comes the work.
Watched CSI yesterday on ntv7. Typical CSI series as always. By the way, love the series… hehe
Do excuse the entry if you're not a fan of the tv series. One thing I noticed from the show is that the CSI team always think out loud. When they see a small fiber, they will say it out loud.. "There's a fibre there, which shouldn't be there" or even when they are alone, they will speak up. highlighting this and that. Why ya? did they do that? The reason are maybe as follows –
1) They are acting.. and in real life, police may work quietly, But if they do the series quietly, it will be one dull series. Unfortunately.. I believe this is the actual reason why they speak up every piece of their mind.
2) Many heads are always better than one head. Usually with these guys, time are always against them, they need to solve the case ASAP. so by highlighting what they see to the rest of the team, all will be updated simulataneously and maybe some other guys have better insight on the things. So guys… this is actually how a team should be.
I remember when I was studying. For one of our subject, we were put into a group of 5. Our group consist of 4 Malays and one foreigner from Turkmenistan. And as always, our group tends to discuss everything in Malay. So he is very pissed everytime the meeting was held (I can't blame him). To cut things short.. the foreign student finally gave up and instead of supporting with his creative ideas, he just did all the work. Shame on us…
I guess we might have gotten better grade in that subject if we allowed his creativity and ideas to be discussed. He is one of the best student there.
The lesson I learnt from this is not from my proudest experience. But for the record, the foreign student was staying in the same block with me, and most of the time, after the meeting, I will describe to him what the meeting is all about. Most of the time… *Sigh
Conclusion – the reason teams are formed is to share the ideas, not to share the work. Work, anyone can do.. Ideas, can only surface if everyone support each other.Anything else from the show that you might noticed?

"Do not attempt to dissect me from my art: my art is the very essence – the deepest and truest expression – of who I am." – Autumn Dawn Leader
When I first created this quote/picture, I did it out of frustration with people attempting to "get me to see my worth and value apart from my talent". That never goes over too well with any artist (in any medium), really. It's not that we are (all) unaware, or refuse to acknowledge, the other (perhaps good) stuff that's in us. It's that we (primarily) want to be perceived and known by our "deepest and truest expression". So, that's what this quote is about. I said it for all musicians, singers, songwriters, painters, sculpters, photographers, etc. – all artists, everywhere.

A wheel of energy.
That was Schellas Hyndman's impression of Duke Hashimoto when the Southern Methodist men's soccer coach saw the Iolani senior play in a mainland tournament during spring break 2002.
"Duke was a very active player, a slasher. He got knocked down and got right back up. He took on people, had good speed, was extremely quick and fearless," said Hyndman.
"He was only 17 and he was playing Under-19."
That assessment led Hyndman to recruit Hashimoto, who had seen a lot of other schools, once interested, disappear after he suffered an ACL injury to his right knee his junior year at Iolani.
Hashimoto, a two-time Star-Bulletin All-State first team selection, made a recruiting trip to the Dallas campus, liked the Mustangs program, and signed a national letter of intent.
"I've been happy with the decision. For me, it was just getting used to being in Texas. It is a different environment," said Hashimoto, a senior striker.
He has enjoyed success with the Mustangs, who joined Conference USA this year and are picked to win the league title.
Hashimoto started 19 of 21 matches as a freshman and tied for second in scoring with six goals and five assists.
"Duke did well his freshman year and was a solid starter his sophomore year. He always finds the right time to be in front of the goal," said Hyndman.
"He is not going to hit 25- or 30-yard rockets, although he keeps trying. He is very active in the goal-box area. We call the two areas on either side of posts black holes, because it is very physical in there. Duke has a way of getting in there."
Hashimoto has been the third-leading scorer the past two years with four goals and five assists in 2003 and five goals and three assists in 2004.
However, last year was cut short when he suffered an ACL injury to his left knee in the ninth match, the first conference match of the season against Creighton.
"It was a corner kick. The ball came across and I was just going to kick it away. I must have planted wrong. There was no contact," said Hashimoto.
"I was real upset because I couldn't play and I was just coming off a week where I had scored four goals."
Hyndman had sent Hashimoto back into the match with 5 minutes to go and SMU leading 1-0.
"I knew he would be active on defense for us. The surface was FieldTurf and he made an explosion move," said the SMU coach.
"Duke was our leading scorer at the time and we missed him."
Hashimoto had surgery in mid-October 2004 and it was six months before he played again. He managed to finish his rehab in time to play in a couple of matches at the end of spring practice, although he had to overcome some tentativeness.
"I was backing off the 50-50 balls and my teammates pointed out that I wasn't going hard," Hashimoto said.
"It was a matter of getting back into things.
"Once I got past the first two games, I just started going hard again."
He regained a starting berth in the Mustangs lineup after the first of two exhibition matches.
"Duke's injury is healed, but he still isn't 100 percent. We don't talk much about that because we want him to play with confidence," said Hyndman. "His timing is still off a bit, but that is not uncommon. He lacks game time but has improved each week.
"Our leading scorer is ineligible and that puts more pressure on Duke. I've got two 5-foot-7, 140-pound strikers who give everything they have and I appreciate that, but we need more. Our leading scorer is a defender."
Hashimoto, who has scored twice this year, was quick to respond when asked if he had a highlight goal or match.
"We were playing No. 4 St. Louis last year. I got put in the second half. It was 0-0 and I got the game-winner in overtime," said Hashimoto.
"One of their defenders made a bad pass on the left side and my teammate (Dario Saintus) intercepted and gave me the ball," added Hashimoto. "I hit the bottom left corner of the goal from between the 18- and 12-yard lines.
Hyndman recalls seeing Saintus pushing the ball into open space and Hashimoto taking it about 30 yards on a breakaway before scoring with his left foot.
Hashimoto is majoring in general business, but wants to play soccer as long as he can with the goal of someday performing for a Major League Soccer team. He is aware of the route Honolulu Bulls Soccer Club teammate Kenji Treschuk (Moanalua, Penn State) is taking by playing in Europe.
After the Bulls won the U.S. Youth Under-19 national title last summer, director of coaching Phil Neddo had a talk with Hashimoto.
"Phil knows what I want to do. We always talk about playing professionally, but last summer he talked about the business side, talked about contracts and about agents," said Hashimoto.
After he graduates in May, Hashimoto will have to consider options based on his degree and his athletic success.

Diseases Home > Scleroderma Diagnosis
Various medical specialists can diagnose scleroderma. The diagnosis is largely determined by the results of a physical exam, including a look at your symptoms. The diagnosis may be fairly easy to make if you have typical symptoms and rapid skin thickening. However, a diagnosis can take months, or even years, to confirm if you only exhibit a few symptoms or they go away on their own.
Depending on your particular symptoms, a scleroderma diagnosis can be made by one of the following:
- A general internist
- A dermatologist (a doctor who specializes in treating diseases of the skin, hair, and nails)
- An orthopedist (a doctor who treats bone and joint disorders)
- A pulmonologist (a lung specialist)
- A rheumatologist (a doctor specializing in the treatment of rheumatic diseases).
A scleroderma diagnosis is based largely on your medical history and findings from a physical exam. When considering the diagnosis, your healthcare provider will ask you a lot of questions about what has happened to you over time and about any symptoms that you may be experiencing, such as:
Once your healthcare provider has gathered a thorough medical history, he or she will perform a physical exam.
Finding one or more of the following factors can help the healthcare provider diagnose a certain form of scleroderma:
- Changed skin appearance and texture, including swollen fingers and hands and tight skin around the hands, face, mouth, or elsewhere
- Calcium deposits developing under the skin
- Changes in the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) at the base of the fingernails
- Thickened skin patches.

Wake Up Call
Capricorn Horoscope for week of August 19, 2010
The poet Jean Perrin dreamed "of marrying the dawn with the light of the moon," and I invite you to do the same. The darkness you've been immersed in will leave you soon. As it does, please don't forsake the pale, moon-like radiance that has provided you with a bit of guidance and consolation. Rather, bring along what it has taught you as you head into the far brighter phase you're entering. In other words, retain some of the wisdom the dim light has compelled you to learn.
Change wooshes Fresh into my brain and sets loose dusty cobwebs of habitual thought. Possibilities are myriad! Potentialities are reachable, and worth considering. I feel a flutter in my chest with anticipation of the unexpected and a brightening in my eyes. Perfectly timed with our move and our strong desire to de-clutter and simplify, I have come across several very inspiring pieces of writing - Your Money or Your Life, a book that has helped hundreds of thousands cut their expenses by focusing on their life values, and two blogs which are dedicated to minimalist living - "the less you have, the more epic your life": Rowdy Kittens, and Far Beyond the Stars.
It feels as if, very recently, a veil has been lifted in my thinking, and my mind and heart said, "Oh, yeah!" in their remembering: I've been thinking too small. I've been Being too small. My view has been too myopic: not in seeing the universe in the fractal-like details, but just .. letting the details be a universe in themselves. I've been experiencing a lot of anxiety lately. Learning to deal with it by breathing into it, but maybe I should have let it be an indicator to me that change is in order. Maybe I'm letting it be that indicator right now. I imagine myself to be a little mouse with my nose down trying to find the cheese at the end of the maze, when, if I would stand up I could see that the maze is located in the middle of a lush food forest (or cheese shop in Switzerland!).
From Far Beyond the Stars, 99% of the people in the world are content to exist within the confines of their own settled mediocrity. The boredom of sitting under florescent lights all day begins to set in over time. Their current situation burns into their psyche, and they stagnate.
The thought of rejecting the status-quo scares the crap out of them.
It starts with the idea that you have to be realistic. Everyone knows a horde of people who either are being realistic or will tell you to be realistic. Well, these people are wrong. They're blinded by their own passivity.
They've given up. They're walking zombies. You don't want to be one of these people.
And more importantly, don't listen to these people.
They call them worker drones for a reason. These people are not being compared to busy bees, they're being compared to The Borg.
Does this sound familiar? When you look at yourself in the mirror are you beginning to see the last remnants of life seeping out of your soul?
I have dreams about Lucent Dossier (the performance company I danced with when I first came to CA) often. They stick with me. One that really hurt my heart was: that I was walking along a country road with them, and talking with them as they made their way to another magical gig, when I realized they didn't recognize me; I was a stranger to them. I looked down and was dressed 100% preppy with clothes from the mall. I felt ashamed. I know this sounds very shallow. But I have come to think of these dreams as oracles. What this one told me was that I was not being my true (magical) self. I was clothed in the coverings of someone with an inner life other than my own truth.
The most recent dream I had was that Lucent had marketed a fragrance. It was the Essence of Sensuality (not the narrow definition, but sensuality as drinking in life fully - with all of the senses). It was sold in individually enchanting, antique bottles with cute stoppers (I love tiny, unique bottles!). I rushed to the store to be the first to see them, and tried to make my way to the display secretly. I opened a bottle. The scent went on like metallic copper powder (like eye shadow), and smelled of fine sandalwood. The dream diverged from there.
My oracular interpretation of this is that I'm wanting to re-member how to drink deeply of Life, in the way that is so essential to the M.O. of Lucent Dossier. And, what's so awesome is that, as my parenting guru Scott Noelle always says, that awakening of Presence is always available; you simply need to open yourself to allowing it.
"The Master in the art of living
makes little distinction
between work and play,
labor and leisure,
mind and body,
education and recreation,
love and religion.
You hardly know which is which.
You simply pursue your vision of
excellence in whatever you do,
leaving others to decide whether
you are working or playing.
To you, it is always both."
from Rowdy Kittens, poem By Marcia
I didn't finish a "good enough" marriage, cull all my stuff and leave my hometown and family of friends, move thousands of miles, dance with a mystical circus, and be cleansed by fire in the Black Rock Desert, to become bogged down and fall asleep. I came to get down and get funky!
I finally watched Avatar. Since I don't watch tv, I didn't know anything about it except its popularity - which usually frees me from having to see something. As soon as I saw the fantastical creature on the cover (I love costuming!), I had to watch it. And of course it's not a story of a distant planet, but of our own blue and green ball. It re-minded me of our true essence, our birthright: to run and jump from treetop to treetop unafraid, to telepathically communicate with other animals because we are truly connected, to worship Nature because she really is our Mother, and to be 100% free in our own bodies, our own skin, because we are as regal and able and noble as any jungle animal.
I have been asleep and it's time to Wake Up!
From Far Beyond the Stars
It's never too late to start having unreasonable expectations for yourself….
1. Set at least one unrealistic goal to achieve in the next year. I've become a firm believer that everyone should set unrealistic goals for themselves. Take a moment and think, draw, write down your unrealistic goals. For reference: last year my unrealistic goal was to work from anywhere, quit my job, and move to another city. Done. Done. Done.
2. Map out your ideal life. So you've set your unrealistic goals, now you need to visualize them. Tim Ferriss calls this practice Dreamlining. It's the idea of mapping out your unrealistic ideal life. On that piece of paper, start adding more details to the unrealistic world you're creating. Do you want to be sipping margaritas on the beach? Swigging wine with Colin Wright in New Zealand? Training to run marathon? Ask the girl of your dreams out on a date? Write it all down: but please, do NOT be realistic.
4. Remove the floor. Many people exist with a constant safety net to catch them if they fall. What if you remove that net? Take it away, and then start to have unreasonable expectations for yourself. The Bahamas or the gutter, which will it be? You'll have no choice to fly to the top, because there are no other options.
5. Be unrealistic about what you don't need. Just like thinking about what you unrealistically want, but the opposite. What can you survive without? Basically, everything. You can live in a room, eat Brussels sprouts and be happy. ..
10. Ignore everybody. People will nay-say you into oblivion, and they are not to be trusted. Do not listen to negative opinions or influences. You are able to accomplish anything if you put your mind to it.
Via Dream (artistic director of Lucent Dossier) ~ Those who achieve great things, defeat long odds, and become legends didn't have anything you don't have. They just kept showing up, expecting a miracle, long after everyone else got practical. ~ Notes from the Universewaking life
SACRED ADVERTISEMENT (from Rob) Your imagination is the single most important asset you possess. It's your power to create mental pictures of things that don't exist yet and that you want to bring into being. It's the magic wand you use to shape your future. And so in your own way, you are a prophet. You generate countless predictions every day. Your imagination is the source, tirelessly churning out images of what you will be doing later. *

In the Kitchen
I have noticed throughout my adult life that when words fail to surface to describe my inner life, other forms of creativity have taken center stage. This is the way it was for me towards the end of my college career ~ with a focus in Creative Writing; I couldn't bare to eek out another externally-demanded piece of written "creativity" but I found myself drawing and painting again for the first time in years (I can't think of a more effective way to rid a young enthusiastic soul of her creativity than by making it a major in an institution where your output equals your worth. This, and more, is why the ideas of Unschooling resonate so strongly with me.).

Getting a Lift
-Going outside, even just for a minute.
-Riding my bike, even just for a short errand. I feel free. And especially now that I have a front rack for bags so that I can carry things while also carrying Anjali (like produce from the farmers' market), I am set and feel so free.
-Going to farmers' markets. I love them.
-Being creative in the kitchen. I am reminded over and over. Unless I'm trying to rush, and even then sometimes, I end up having fun.
-My voice lessons.
-Swimming. I love being in water. Playing in waves at the beach, and going underwater in a pool (*not* doing laps) remind me of being a kid. Ahhh!
-Jogging. Even though it often feels like a "should".
-Gardening - even just pulling a few weeds or picking and feeding some clover to the chickens through the garden gate.
-Dancing - even just boogying a little hip bump to the music.
-Taking a shower. I don't shower daily. When I get around to it, it always feels good.
-Rubbing my face with coconut oil (that's what I use as lotion).
-Giving a dollar to a sidewalk musician.
-Petting a kitty cat on the sidewalk.
-Having an orgasm.
-Being outside in the sunshine.
What a feel-good list! It is insightful to see so many parts of my everyday life that truly give me pleasure.And interesting to ponder that some feel like "shoulds" even while being on a feel-good list.

Today's nails were originally supposed to be a jelly sandwich, but when I saw how brightly lime green the base colour was, I decided to go with a pale glitter for contrast and leave the sandwich open-faced.
After a "primer" coat of OPI Did It On 'Em, I used about a coat and a half of The Face Shop GR501, a shimmery, near-jelly, practically neon lime green. It's translucent enough for a bolder glitter to show through, but like I said, with such an intensely bright colour, I thought subtler was the way to go, so I added a coat of OPI Pirouette My Whistle on top.
Radioactive kiwi, anyone?

December 19, 1982, Section 1, Page 30Buy Reprints
Tales of death and despair in the frozen north are not new in Alaskan folklore, but seldom have men recorded their own fatal adventure as graphically as Carl McCunn, a photographer of wildlife.
When a state trooper cut open the tent and found Mr. McCunn's wasted body last Feb. 2, he also found a diary the starving man had kept until he ended his suffering with a rifle bullet.
''They say it doesn't hurt,'' the 35-year-old Mr. McCunn wrote before he pulled the trigger. He died in a wilderness camp near a nameless lake in a nameless valley 225 miles northeast of Fairbanks. He had gone there to photograph the tundra. But he had not been specific about plans to be flown out, and so he was stranded and ran out of food.
His diary, 100 pages of looseleaf paper, began in tidy, block letters recording the wonders of an emerging summer. It ended, eight and a half months later, in the scrawl of an abandoned soul crippled by frostbite, scavenging the half-eaten prey of foxes. Tale From Coroner's Office
The diary wound up in the coroner's office here, where, at an inquest, the plight of Mr. McCunn unfolded. On the last page, he wrote: ''Am burning the last of my emergency Coleman light and just fed the fire the last of my split wood. When the ashes cool, I'll be cooling along with them.''
Mr. McCunn had been flown into the valley in March 1981 as winter was ending. He knew the area. In 1976, he had spent five months alone in the desolate Brooks Range.
This time, with about 500 rolls of film, photography equipment, firearms and 1,400 pounds of provisions, he had planned to stay through mid-August.
His father, Donovan McCunn of San Antonio, Tex., described his son as 6 feet, 2 inches tall, weighing 240 pounds, with curly, reddish blond hair and an outgoing personality. He was born in West Germany to an Army family. Four Years in the Navy
After high school, he went to college for a semester before joining the Navy for a four-year tour. Then he worked on a ferry between Washington State and Alaska and did odd jobs after making his home in Alaska, probably in 1970.
At the coroner's inquest, testimony from friends and notes from Mr. McCunn's diary suggested that he had failed to make specific arrangements to be picked up. The coroner's jury ruled his death a suicide.
In early diary entries, he wrote of the return of the animals to their summer grounds and commented, ''Humans are so out of their 'modern-day' element in a place like this.''
By early August, with his supplies dwindling, his concern grew. ''I think I should have used more foresight about arranging my departure,'' he wrote. ''I'll soon find out.''
By mid-August his diary entries were not dated; he spent much of his time searching for food, shooting some ducks and muskrats and drying the meat of a caribou that died in the lake. His anxiety grew.
He wrote: ''Come on, please. Don't leave me hangin' and frettin' like this. I didn't come out here for that.'' Meanwhile, concerned friends asked the Alaska State Troopers to check on Mr. McCunn. Trooper David Hamilton flew over Mr. McCunn's camp. He testified that he had seen Mr. McCunn waving a red bag. He said he circled, and Mr. McCunn ''waved in a casual manner and watched us fly by.''
''On the third pass he turned and walked back toward the tent, slowly, casually,'' Mr. Hamilton said. ''We surmised there was no immediate danger or need for emergency aid.'' Realized He Gave Wrong Signal
In his diary, Mr. McCunn tells of being elated on sighting the plane, then realizing that he had given the wrong signal to the pilot.
''I recall raising my right hand, shoulder high and shaking my fist on the plane's second pass. It was a little cheer - like when your team scored a touchdown or something.
''Turns out that's the signal for 'ALL O.K. DO NOT WAIT!' Man, I can't believe it!'' Snow came and the lake froze over. He saw his first wolf, ''like a giant husky,'' tried to shoot it with his .22 and heard it yelp. But it crashed away into the underbrush. ''Bad shot and bad show of patience,'' he wrote.
By October, he was competing with wolves and foxes for the rabbits he snared. From the diary: ''It's been a terrible day for me and I won't go into it. Hands getting more frostbitten every day. Have only one meal of beans left. Honestly, I'm scared for my life. But I won't give up.''
In November, Mr. McCunn ran out of food. He considered trying to reach Fort Yukon on foot, 75 miles away. He wrote a letter to his father, telling him how to develop his film. He caught a squirrel, ''but that's only a tease even when you chew up and swallow all the bones too.''
Around Thanksgiving, he began having dizzy spells. ''I feel miserable,'' he wrote. ''Have had the chills upon awakening for the past three days. I can't take much more of this. Can't stop thinking about using the bullet.''
He used the last of his fuel, fed the fire a final time and wrote: ''Dear God in Heaven, please forgive me my weakness and my sins. Please look over my family.'' He added a separate note asking that his personal items be returned to his father, and he said that the person who found him should keep his rifle and shotgun. He signed his name and attached his Alaska driver's license. ''The I.D. is me, natch,'' he said in the diary's last entry.

Product Description
Simon designed and pieced the striped blocks for this quilt with another collection in mind but as often happens with good intentions time deleted this concept. While Simon's was away, Robbie and Jenny go to and started to embroider these beautiful red floral designs, with the idea of putting them on Simon's pieced fabric. Robbie and Jenny had a 'tiny' in-studio struggle convincing Simon that their idea was a good one; hence the name War of The Roses! All the embroidery is done with Jenny's Embroidered Decoupage technique, so perfect every time!

A laser-diode-pumped zigzag slab Nd:YAG master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system featuring high pulse energy and high average power was developed for pumping of an ultrashort-pulse laser system. The MOPA system consists of an oscillator, a preamplifier, two postamplifiers, and image-relay telescopes. The postamplifiers have an angle-multiplexed ring-type double-pass configuration. A pulse energy of 1.26 J and an average power of 251 W were obtained at a repetition rate of 200 Hz. The frequency-doubled power when a crystal was used was 105 W at a repetition rate of 170 Hz. The intensity profiles of the fundamental and the second harmonic are nearly top-hat shaped and are suitable for pumping.

Galvanized steel pipe is a steel pipe that has been coated with zinc. This coating protects the steel from corrosion. It is most commonly used for outdoor construction like fences and handrails, or for some interior plumbing. It is also sometimes called galvanized iron pipe.
The process of galvanization was first discussed by scientists in the 1770s, nearly 60 years before it was finally introduced in the 1830s. French engineer Stanislaus Tranquille Modeste Sorel took out the first patent for the process in 1937, and began manufacturing it soon after. By the 1850s, Europe was producing galvanized steel out of manufacturing plants located around the continent. The United States followed shortly thereafter, opening its first plant in the 1870s.
To create galvanized steel pipe, steel materials are placed into a molten bath of zinc. This process is also called hot dip galvanization. The two metals are chemically bound to one another in this process, and will therefore never separate, resulting in a more resistant and longer lasting version of steel.
This type of pipe is not suited to gas lines, but was very commonly used for full, in-home plumbing until the mid- to late 1900s, when copper replaced it as the pipe material of choice. It was discovered at that time that lime scale buildup occurred faster in galvanized steel pipe than in copper or plastic. It is still sometimes used indoors for plumbing, particularly for the replacement of small areas of pipe, in which the flow will not be greatly interrupted by sections of lime scale.
Outdoor applications are a more common use of galvanized steel pipe in the modern age. It is most likely to be seen on chain link fences or handrails. It is highly resistant to corrosion, which makes it a perfect choice for goods or materials that will be exposed to the elements on a regular basis.
Galvanized steel pipe is generally connected by threads on either end of a length of pipe. A small amount of adhesive is typically placed on the threads before screwing them together, in order to reinforce the connection. If no threads are available, the pipes and fittings can be welded together, although caution should be taken because the heat from welding can release dangerous zinc fumes into the air. Pipes can be cut using a cutoff saw or hacksaw.

Who needs Les Mouches when you've got 54 Below? Tony winner and Broadway legend Patti LuPone has signed a multi-year deal with 54 Below. LuPone will play two two-week engagements at the swanky venue each year through 2016. The agreement launches with The Lady with the Torch, which begins tonight.
In The Lady with the Torch, the two-time Tony winner entertains with an eclectic collection of torch numbers. She sings the songs of Arthur Schwartz, Howard Dietz, Jule Styne, Sammy Cahn, Billy Barnes, the Gershwins, Cole Porter and more. LuPone brings the act to 54 Below after a sold out engagement at Carnegie Hall.
LuPone was the inaugural performer at 54 Below back in 2012 with her solo show, Far Away Places, which was recorded for a live album. She returned to the Times Square hotspot later that year for another engagement and a special New Year's Eve show, and in 2013, brought her critically acclaimed Could, Woulda, Shoulda… (Played That Part) to the nightclub. The Lady with the Torch will run through August 2.
LuPone took home Tony Awards for her performances in Gypsy and Evita. Her additional stage credits include Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, Sweeney Todd, Anything Goes, An Evening With Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin, Noises Off, Matters of the Heart, The Anarchist, Master Class and the New York Philharmonic's Company. LuPone's film and TV appearances include American Horror Story: Coven, Girls, Driving Miss Daisy, Witness, Parker, City by the Sea, Life Goes On, 30 Rock and Ugly Betty.
Check out this blast from the past below, when Broadway.com caught a behind-the-scenes look at LuPone's inaugural 54 Below concert.

What is discipleship?
The essence of discipleship is teaching and training believers to think, act, talk, and look like Jesus. (Matt.10:24, 40-42; Luke 14:25-35; 9:23-26, 57-62)
Discipleship is that development process of the local church that progressively guides Christians from spiritual infancy to spiritual maturity so that they are then able to make disciples of others. (Matt.28:18-20; 2 Tim.2:2)
Discipleship isn't a program or an event; it's a way of life. It is not for a limited time, but for our whole lives. Discipleship is God's primary way of transforming people by His Spirit through the Gospel of Christ from the inside out. It describes the process following Jesus.
The plan to accomplish the goal starts at the front door of membership. In our Membership Class, we will explain the expectation and opportunities of discipleship to every new member.
How do we disciple others?
Our Sunday morning studies will continue to address issues that call believers to an "all out" commitment to Christ.
Lifegroups are small groups of no more than nine men and women who meet for the purpose of intentional discipleship.
Men's Groups
Man Up Men's Groups are designed for men to invest in one another as they deal with issues together relating to men.
Titus 2 Women's Groups are small groups of 3-4 ladies who meet regularly for the purpose of encouragement and discipleship.
6 Truths About Authentic Discipleship
1. Jesus commanded us to make disciples, not be disciples. The way many Christians
talk, you'd think Jesus told us to be disciples. He commanded us to make disciples.
2. Discipleship is simply linked to evangelism. You can't be a disciple without being an
evangelist. And for sure, the opposite is true. You can't be an evangelist without being a
disciple. But somehow many people would rather be disciples without being evangelists.
3. A mark of an authentic disciple includes getting it wrong sometimes. After all, Peter
didn't get it right most of the time when he was around Jesus.
4. A morally messy church is…inevitable. The fact that you have these problems may
actually be a sign that you're making progress with the unchurched. You don't want to
leave them there, but when people really start engaging with Christ, tidy categories are
hard to come by.
5. Maturity takes time and is not linear. It would be great if there was instant maturity in
faith and in life. But it never works that way.
mark of His followers is love (John 13:34-35).

As my mother has claimed for quite a while that Jack reminds her of how I was as a child, and as I see much in him that I also see in me, I have decided to do what I do, which is put it on the Internet for everyone to see.
1. We both adore french fries and ice cream.
2. We're detail people. Jack likes to study large drawings to find the details within, and I have similar tendencies. (I used to be a copy editor, for instance.)
3. Neither of us likes being told what to do, especially if it involves us not getting our way.
4. Neither of us does well with being yelled at or criticized. It can feel like a physical assault to me that I run over and over in my head. And I can see the same thing on his face.
5. We LOVE to cuddle with each other.
6. We both have a focus that can drown out everything around us.
7. Neither of us follow directions very well.
8. We both love to laugh. Oh dear God, that boy's giggle could keep the world turning.

She had just turned 13 when she ran away from home and got into a scuffle with the police officer who found her.
Charged with assault, the teen was housed in a youth center operated by the District's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. When it was time for her first appearance in D.C.

RGV CeltFest 2010
I am coordinating the 2010 RGV CeltFest Children's Activities Tent and Children's Parade. I would like to get in touch with whoever organizes AMTGARD events; We love you; your "Fight A Knight" activity from past festivals is PERFECT located near our "Castle Cardboard", and I would like to include AMTGARD in our planning, preparations, signs and promotions. I would also like to invite your group to participate in the "Children's Parade", held mid-afternoon each day of the festival. The parade has a special section of marchers representing the "Celtic Imagination" (Story Land?)- THAT PART SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN, THAT IS... and a "Royal Procession" by AMTGARD would be just the thing! The 2010 Celtic Festival will be May 15 & 16 at Balloon Fiesta Park. Thanks! firstname.lastname@example.com

Carpool for events
I want to get folks to events this year and I have use of a "big-ass" van to help. It is a 12 passenger van for a group that packs light and a 9 passenger van when you need to pack heavy. There is a roof rack for gear with canvas bag to keep small items from blowing around and a trailer hitch if we need to tow something, through gas costs might go up a bit in that case.
If there is interest in doing such things I'll start taking reservations soon :)
Estimated gas costs per person...

STOCKHOLM, Aug 27 (Thomson Foundation) - Water, sanitation and hygiene are part of a new World Health Organisation strategy to fight neglected tropical diseases which afflict more than 1.5 billion people, the WHO said on Thursday.
Those suffering from the 17 diseases, such as intestinal worms, river blindness, leprosy and sleeping sickness include many of the poorest people in the world.
"If we put in place universal access to safe water and sanitation and hygiene then the neglected tropical diseases in most cases will completely disappear or be put under control," Maria Neira, head of public health at WHO, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Including water and sanitation in local and national programmes would reduce infections, improve treatment, and reduce the discrimination and stigma that people disfigured by diseases often face, the WHO said.
"Those terrible diseases require hygiene and sanitation and we hope that this contribution will add to our argument that access to safe water and sanitation is one of the most important determinants of our health," Neira said at the launch of the initiative at a global water conference in Stockholm.
Neglected tropical diseases thrive where people live in extreme poverty with poor sanitation and little access to healthcare - usually in remote rural areas, urban slums or conflict zones.
"Water and sanitation require resources that exceed what WHO can generate for neglected tropical diseases, so we want to make sure that interventions both in public health and water and sanitation reach the poorest as a matter of priority," Dirk Engels, director of the Department of Neglected Tropical Diseases at the WHO, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The new strategy was announced just weeks before a new set of development objectives - known as the Sustainable Development Goals - is due to be adopted at a U.N. summit in September.
The new goals include eradicating extreme poverty by 2030 and providing universal access to water and sanitation.
More than 660 million people around the world live without access to clean water, and 2.4 billion do not have access to proper sanitation, according to UNICEF and the WHO.
WaterAid, an international charity which has been working with communities affected by neglected tropical diseases, gave the example of leprosy, saying that nearly 5,000 new cases are reported each year in Ethiopia.
"Once you have the severe form of a disease like leprosy, you pretty much have it for life and the people affected often suffer from exclusion," Yael Velleman, WaterAid senior policy analyst on sanitation and health, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
The stigma associated with those diseases mean that people who have them may not be allowed to use the same washrooms as family members and may be unable to access water, because if they have a disability it is harder for them to carry water, Velleman said.
"It's not just about controlling a disease, it's making sure that the poorest of the poor and the most marginalised have access to these basic services," she said.

Despite a few progressive steps forward over the past few years, there still aren't that many gay superheroes running around, saving the day.
Though debuted in the 1990s, the two mutants characters didn't realize their mutual attraction until a few years ago, while still in their ageless twenties, only to be torn apart by some heroic adventure: you know, Shatterstar was left in space after saving the world, and Rictor, who could once create earthquakes, found himself powerless in New York. Standard superhero stuff.
Now, Shatterstar has returned to earth, tracked down his earth-moving lover and the two are embarking on a relationship. But, of course, it's never that easy, especially in comic books, so in the latest issue of X-Factor, the men are tackling a topic so taboo that even real life gay couples don't always address it: open relationships.

Sayre, Pa. – The vascular laboratories at the Guthrie clinics in Sayre, Wellsboro and Towanda, Pa.; Ithaca, Owego, Big Flats, and Corning, N.Y.; as well as the ultrasound department at Troy Community Hospital in Troy, Pa., have earned vascular testing accreditation by the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC), formerly called ICAVL.
"We are very proud to have earned this prestigious status. Our patients can rely on this accreditation as an indicator of the quality of care they will receive at Guthrie," said Paul Henry, RDMS, RVT, RT, Technical Director of the Vascular Lab at Guthrie Sayre.
Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of death in the United States. Early detection of life threatening disorders, such as carotid artery blockages and aortic aneurysms, is possible through the use of non-invasive vascular testing procedures performed in both hospital and office locations. Patients should remain vigilant in ensuring that their vascular testing procedures are performed within accredited facilities, since in most areas it remains a voluntary process.
Accreditation by the IAC means that these clinics and labs have undergone a thorough review of their operational and technical components by a panel of experts. Accreditation is granted only to facilities found to be providing quality patient care in compliance with national standards through a comprehensive application process, including detailed case study review.
IAC accreditation is widely respected within the medical community and is required in some states and regions by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) and by some private insurers. Guthrie is a non-profit integrated health system located in north central Pennsylvania and Upstate New York, serving patients from an 11-county service area.
Guthrie is comprised of a research institute, home care/hospice, hospitals in Sayre, Pa., Corning, N.Y., and Troy, Pa., as well as a multi-specialty group practice of more than 260 physicians and 130 mid-level providers in a regional office network encompassing sub-specialty and primary care sites in 23 communities throughout Pennsylvania and New York. Guthrie offers a wide range of services and programs designed to enhance the health and well-being of those it serves.

The Maryland real estate community that may present challenges with respect to its name is Riverdale (or East Riverdale or Riverdale Park). This is a special, humble and culturally diverse community of approximately 7000 people within an area of 1.68 square miles. This area began as streetcar suburbs of Prince George's County. It is surrounded by Hyattsville on the south and southwest, with College Park to the north.
As part of Prince George's County Public Schools, Riverdale is served by three elementary schools, two middle schools and three high schools. Riverdale has its own police department, two volunteer fire departments and an EMS department. In spite of its history within this Maryland region, this is an evolving and energetic young community that takes its civic pride and responsibilities quite seriously.
An indication of this energy is evident in the most popular Riverdale careers, those of construction and electrical repair and maintenance. Its community works diligently toward such objectives as economic development, retail expansion strategies and assisting small businesses.
This is a small but worthwhile community that continues to look for ways to improve its surroundings, resources and people strengths. For those who seek a place that perpetuates historical and traditional values, works toward the best interests of its people and seeks new ways to improve their quality of life, Riverdale Park easily qualifies. Part of its value is to be found in its affordability, a pleasant surprise when you consider how close it is to some of the most important real estate in our country.

The Great Buck Howard gives the loopy John Malkovich the showcase he deserves, and not just because he gets to fly as high, and flaky, as he likes. It's also because writer-director Sean McGinley has grounded Malkovich, allowing him to create a character with as much fascination as folly. His Buck Howard, a loving, ? fictionalized version of the Amazing Kreskin, is a former superstar of "mentalism" who is now a joke with a rubber handshake, a relic babbling on about his 61 appearances on ?The Tonight Show. He performs to half-full theaters in places like Bakersfield, Calif. ? ("I love this town!" he crows). Yet his act is still amazing. Buck reads people's minds, with a fusion of cheesiness and wonder. Or is it all a great big fraud? That's the tease at the heart of the movie, which traces his brief, shining moment of so-out-he's-in resurgence. A dryly winning Colin Hanks costars as the wide-eyed law-school dropout who becomes road manager to the doting, now apoplectic, maybe gay, lost-in-the-leisure-suit-era Buck. The Great Buck Howard is in love with kitsch, the backwaters of showbiz, and true magic. It's ? a wee charmer that left me enchanted. A?

The Luxurious Amenities of Business Class Travel
Travelers walk into the yawning door of the parked airplane and make their way down the aisles. They stare somewhat enviously at the lucky denizens of the business class travel seats. After all passengers have been seated, one of the stewardesses ensures the curtain is drawn to separate worlds in airline travel.
Business class airline tickets can be prohibitively expensive, and people often wonder what amenities and luxuries actually come with their purchase. Two of the common features of advanced class seating are more legroom and fully reclining seats. For long haul trips, these amenities alone can make the extra fees worth it.
However, there are levels in first class within an airline and between one airline and the next. We have found some of the most outrageous and expensive travel amenities around the world!
Singapore Airline, on their Singapore to London flight, offer lucky travelers a suite if they're willing to fork over the cash. That's right. A suite, complete with a real bed, sliding wooden doors, and turn-down service.
Emirates Airline, not to be outdone, installed two spas for first class travelers. Each spa includes a full shower system in a marble oasis.
These are only two of the many airlines who have begun catering to the rich and powerful.

One of the things that makes project management so interesting is that no one can ever say that they have all the answers. Project management approaches and strategies are constantly being evaluated, revised and improved, and successful project managers make it a priority to stay informed about the latest developments in their field.
In recent years, the world of project management has been the scene of a growing debate over two fundamentally different approaches to defining and assigning project tasks: the top-down approach vs. the bottom-up approach. Here, we'll take a quick look at the benefits and limitations of each strategy.
Top-Down Project Management
The top-down approach is the more traditional of the two project management approaches. A top-down strategy calls for all key decisions to be made by the project manager or senior organizational leaders. When a project is managed from the top down, the work breakdown structure and project plan are usually completed by the project manager alone, after which team members are told which tasks they will be completing and when their tasks are due.
Top-down project management remains very common, and it is well suited to projects in which there are few unfamiliar tasks and few unique challenges to be met. However, many organizations have begun to find that the top-down approach can leave team members demoralized and demotivated, as they typically have very little control over what they are expected to do and how they are expected to do it.
The Bottom-Up Approach
Bottom-up project management is rapidly gaining popularity, especially in industries where projects tend to involve new challenges that require innovative solutions. In the bottom-up model, project objectives are still determined by organizational leadership, but the team members who will be doing the work are asked to provide input as to how the project goals will be met. Task lists and project timelines are usually not completed until after the project team members have weighed in, which often results in more realistic schedules and fewer surprises down the road.
Companies often find that employees are more personally engaged on projects that use the bottom-up approach. One potential drawback of this strategy is that the initial project phases can take significantly longer, as project managers need to incorporate input from a large number of stakeholders into the project plan.
Choosing a Direction
Few organizations are likely to make a formal decision to adopt either the top-down or bottom-up approach for every project. Instead, more and more companies are looking for ways to incorporate certain elements of the bottom-up philosophy into their current project management practices. Even companies in industries where projects are typically repeatable and predictable can improve their employee morale by allowing team members to participate in the project planning process. Organizations in rapidly-evolving industries like software and technology have even stronger incentives to move to bottom-up project management, in order to get maximum benefit from their employees' expertise and creativity.
Clarizen's highly flexible project management solutions can help you find the right project management approach for your organization. Whether you prefer the bottom-up or top-down approach, be sure to avoid the top project management surprises that'll blow your project budget.

Shout it out loud then. Meanwhile, keep playing with fire. Those men you think are hot are probably old, bald, fat and pervy. Look for real people.
