Coming into the 2012 season, Dylan Davis's career high in kills was the 15 that he recorded in the NCAA semifinal match on May 5, 2011. Davis has now topped that career mark in consecutive matches- following up Wednesday night's 22 kill effort with another 17 on Friday night against Long Beach State.
Unfortunately, Dylan's sky-high output was not the only symmetry to be found betwen UCSB's last two matches. For the second match in a row, the Gauchos lost a hard fought, five-game match that spoiled outstanding performances from the UCSB middles. Friday night's loss was all the more agonizing considering UCSB's two-nil game advantage heading into the third set.
Game scores for the match were 22-25, 20-25, 25-21, 25-19, 15-13. Long Beach moved to a game over .500 at 9-8, with a 5-7 conference record. The 49ers retained their spot in seventh place in the conference standings. UCSB fell to 5-11, 3-9, and also retained their tenth-place spot in the standings thanks to a Hawai'i loss.
For the Gauchos, the star was clearly junior middle blocker Dylan Davis. Davis led the Gauchos in kills for the second consecutive night with 17. Finding the form that made him the most efficient hitter in the MPSF last season, Dylan finished with a .483 hitting percentage. Davis was also a monster at the net on Friday night, leading all players with nine total blocks- a whopping five of them solo.
Also impressive was sophomore middle blocker Ryan Thompson, who recorded five kills on just 10 swings to go along with 5 total blocks (3 solo).
The strong play from the middle blockers was indicative of budding chemistry with sophomore setter Bryce Miller, who in just his third appearance of the season picked up 47 assists-which, impressively, is actually his lowest output so far.
The success of the middles could not be replicated by the outside hitters, who struggled in the later parts of the match. Junior Miles Evans had a double-double for the third straight match, collecting 10 kills and 17 digs to lead the group. All three starting UCSB outside hitters were held to hitting percentages below .100 and accounted for five of the team's six receiving errors.
That lack of balance was especially acute in the decisive fifth set, when the Gauchos registered just one team kill and hit .-167.
Despite that lack of offense in the fifth, UCSB fought to the bitter end. A timeout from Head Coach Rick McLaughlin with UCSB trailing 8-13 seemed to re-energize his squad. Strong blocking from the Gauchos forced Long Beach State into several attacking errors, capped off by a double-block from Davis and freshman outside hitter Austin Kingi that brought UCSB within one point of a tie at 13-14.
However, Long Beach's Trevor Crabb crushed any thoughts of a comeback on the next play with a cross-court spike from setter Connor Olbright to claim the match.
Fueling the 49ers' come-from-behind victory was Jim Baughman, who put down 22 kills and four aces, which led all players in both categories. Libero Kyle McElderry was a rock on the back line, tallying 12 digs. Middle blocker Jeff Ornee tied Baughman for the team-lead in blocks with five.
Assistant Coach Aaron Mansfield lamented his team's performance, but dispelled any questions about physical fatigue after the two-hour, ten minute marathon. "I don't think physical fatigue played a factor, our guys are in pretty good shape. I think it goes back to us being a young team that needs to learn how to mentally grind. You saw us do it for 45 minutes but we need to learn how to keep it up for a whole match."
UCSB continues their five-match homestand next week, playing host to UC Irvine on Mar. 7 and UC San Diego on Mar. 9. The match on Wednesday, Mar. 7, will be the last for the Gauchos this season at Rob Gym. Beginning Friday, Mar. 9, the Gauchos will play the remainder of their home matches at the Thunderdome.
Tickets for those remaining home matches can be purchased here or in-person at the ticket office in the Intercollegiate Athletics Building on campus.
For those unfamiliar with the Thunderdome, directions to the UCSB campus, as well as maps and parking information can be found here.

Adelitas Way, 'Dog on a Leash' – Exclusive Song Premiere
Little by little, Adelitas Way have been inching closer to their new album, and now they're partnering with Loudwire to exclusively bring you the full version of their new song, 'Dog on a Leash.'
In addition, the mysterious shot below is an exclusive from the group's upcoming video for 'Dog on a Leash.' This goes along with the recent debut of the single artwork for the track, the band's in-studio video preview and the recent teaser for the single as part of the rollout in anticipation of their new album.
As for the song itself, it starts with a bluesy opening fueled by Rick DeJesus' emotion-drenched vocals, but eventually picks up into a full-on rocker with DeJesus providing an in-your-face delivery of the chorus.
Frontman Rick DeJesus recently told Loudwire of the teaser clip, which finds the band rocking 'Dog on a Leash' live, " "We had so much fun filming our Vegas show. In a city where people want electro club dance, Las Vegas wanted rock 'n' roll on that night. The sold out crowd was electric and we felt every person there. It was the first time we ever played 'Dog on a Leash' live, and we were so excited to show all of our fans how hard we been working, and what we been working on."
The band has been working with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Deftones, Alice in Chains) on the new album and a title and release date is expected soon. The group is also expected to turn up at several festivals and have begun booking some spring dates. See their current itinerary here, and purchase the 'Dog on a Leash' single at iTunes.

Happy Gotcha Day Banshee! I remember that day so well because mom was leaking about how long you spent at the shelter and how they made you a poster and all that! What a happy day!

Happy Gotcha Day, Banshee!
A plumber left a hole under the house once and very large rats (wharf rats from the mill) got in the walls and chased smaller rodents and scared Jan half to death. Drove us crazy because we could hear them but not reach them. So Jan has an idea how your PM is taking the mouse problem.

Disclaimer: These interviews are not associated with a-m-v.org, and do not reflect the opinions of its administration.
Welcome to the Lip Flapper! Each week, we delve deep into the community and get a good look into both individual members as well as group discussions on various issues that surround our hobby.
This Week in "The Lip Flapper"
This week is all about AMV contests and conventions! We talk with contest and convention coordinators, people who have been to conventions, those that judge AMV contests, and naturally just everything about them!
We have a 4 part series, finished up with an AMV Review on Friday with an action video that doesn't suck!
The Panel
____________As somebody that has operated an AMV Contest or Anime Convention, what's something that you want to tell potential contestants or participants? Perhaps advice, or just something that you want to DRILL into their heads?
CodeZTM wrote:My situation is a little different than the typical convention situation, but as the guy that runs Project OrgEditor, there are a few things I want to mention for this year's contest.
1) If you sign up, PLEASE sign up with the intention of competing all the way through. I realize that there are just some things that can't be helped down the line, but having nearly half of the contestant pool drop out during the first round? That's very disheartening for both myself and the other contestants.
2) Naming your files the correct naming format is lovely. I hate having to re-name Sequence01-3.zarxgui264.mp4 and go through a scourge of pms to figure out who sent what.
3) Reading the rules before you sign up is lovely. I can't tell you how many questions I got asked last year via MSN that could have been found within 2 minutes in the rules/FAQ thread with the "find" function.
4) Advice wise? Since this is an extended iron chef with a lot of twists and turns, ripping and preparing a wide variety of footage is almost always the best thing to do before the contest actually begins. This way, you can spend 2-3 days experimenting with different types of footage, and if they do not work out, you're not stuck re-ripping footage halfway through the week.
5) If you do not know the time zone conversion to my date/time zone for the deadline, ask this before the contest starts. This way, confusion is avoided, and you're not handing in a video 2 days late.
I know that seems like a lot of really obvious things, but they're some of the more common problems that I faced.
kireblue wrote:For starters, people need to get better at naming their files. Submitting a video named video.avi is just not OK. The name of your video file should have relevant info in it like your name and the title of the video. And on that note, I don't understand why some people refuse to think of titles for their videos. Most of the time, I have a title thought up for a AMV long before I even start it. Of course, sometimes the title changes during the editing process, but I rarely get to the rendering stage without having at least a general idea of what I want it to be called.
Also, you should always look at the content guidelines for the contest that you're submitting to, and try to adhere to it. Being on the borderline of the content guideline is not something that usually awards you extra points. If anything, it just puts the judges in a sometimes difficult position.
ngsilver wrote:READ AND FOLLOW THE RULES! Seriously, the most annoying thing for a coordinator is having to disqualify a good video entry simply because the editor didn't follow the rules. Rules are in place in order to make life easier for a coordinator and often to ensure the best compatibility for the final viewing format. If we allow 1 video to get in even though it didn't follow the rules what does that say to the others who did?
Also, coordinators are human and we often can and do make mistakes. We do our best to ensure that doesn't happen but that doesn't mean we don't screw up from time to time. Be understanding about that. Any good coordinator will do everything in their power to make up for the error. It's like the saying you can go farther with sugar rather then vinegar. You have a right to be angry, and to have your problem fixed, but as in most situations there are ways to express it that will make the situation more pleasant for everyone.
Nya-Chan Production wrote:3) Technical aspect of making an AMV is EASY. If you don't want to spend a few hours over it (or ask some friend to help out), you're probably not dedicating it enough.
Also, AMV contest is not a BETATESTING FIELD. If you have half-assed AMV, don't send it in just so you can see the crowd react. You're supposed to send in polished piece and doing otherwise is like saying "Hey, you got good vids, but I don't care about making something as good, throw this in."
Oh and one last thing. Saying "I can't do anything like [insert any good editor's name here] in my life" is a lie. You can do it, you just don't want to try that hard.
(inb4 controversy)
BasharOfTheAges wrote:FORMAT YOUR FILENAMES LIKE I ASKED YOU TO – PLZKTHX!!!
Also, thanks for submitting, we couldn't do it without you. Perhaps come by one year if you have the time.
____GloryQuestor wrote:The best advice I could give to editors submitting for a contest is to be professional when dealing with the convention organizers. From experience, I can say that there are many out there who do not take rejection from a contest lightly, and even more who try to ram themselves down the throats of the convention staff and administration to get their way. They should understand that a convention doesn't simply reject a video because they want to, it's rejected for particular reason(s). Understanding those reasons is an important step towards eventually producing video projects that actually may get into contests in the future. Also, being rejected at one convention contest does not mean that editor couldn't later turn it over to another convention contest whose rules could accept the video. So, it's a lot of stress and anxiety that really people shouldn't have. They should learn to let it go and move on.

A Fun Contest?
You may have noticed that I used a lot of interesting images for banners this week. Well, that's for a purpose!
Each of these images are from an AMV of a prior interviewee (a full interview, not a panel). If you can successfully name all 4 AMVs that these screenshots came from, you can get to develop a panel for the Lip Flapper over any (appropriate) topic of your choosing!
1) All four of these screenshots are from AMVs made from a prior full interview.
2) All of the AMVs were released after 2010.

I have a Hytera PD705LT which I got from 2nd hand for very little money.
I cannot read out the codeplug because it is password protected, and cannot clone a blank codeplug to the radio because my CPS is at version 7 and the radio's firmware is older.
I've tried to upgrade the radio firmware, but I get the message that the Upgrade Kit cannot upgrade the radio as the model number [PD705-0000000L-0000E0-U1-0-A] is beyond the upgrader software.
None of the upgrade kits that I've been able to find on hamdigitaal.nl and other places will upgrade this radio, is there anything the learned posters on this group could suggest?

Life-long dreams weren't all they were cracked up to be for the replacement officials.
There was a collective sigh of relief from the football world as the previously locked-out officials returned to the field Thursday night. The crew even received a standing ovation from the M&T Bank Stadium crowd -- which was a ridiculously hilarious moment.
Jeff Sadorus told Sam Borden of The New York Times that three regular-season weeks as a replacement ref wasn't exactly what he expected.
"Honestly, sometimes during this whole thing, it felt like the national pastime in this country had changed from football to bashing replacement officials," said Sadorus, a former college official who worked as a field judge. "Everyone wanted perfection, but come on: The last guy who was perfect they nailed to a cross. And he wasn't even an official."
It was open season for blatant disrespect of the replacement refs by the media, fans, players and coaches. The replacement refs were under-qualified, thus put in a no-win situation. Outside of the obvious mistakes, er "Monday Night Football," every minute call was examined at length. Players and coaches knew they could intimidate the officials. Things got worse each week when I thought it would trend in the opposite direction.
It's hard not to have some sympathy for guys who realized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, only to become a national joke. They didn't try to fail.
"Working these games was something I'd wanted to do forever," Sadorus said, "and there were some incredible moments. But there were also parts of this that I don't think anyone could have expected.
"We worked very, very hard. As demonized as we were, I hope people remember that we are people, too."

There's something alluring about big, round anniversaries. People just can't seem to get enough of them. On the 50th anniversary of JFK's assassination, for example, virtually every media outlet in the United States—and more than a few overseas—responded with tributes, photos, videos and analysis. Even less-significant round anniversaries—say, the 40th anniversary of the Philadelphia Orchestra's historic 1973 tour of China—often garner a remarkable amount of attention.
Here, LIFE.com looks back at 1964 through the lens of LIFE magazine covers. While not nearly as momentous as other dates from that tumultuous decade (1963 and 1968 come readily to mind), 1964 was, like any other year, nevertheless filled with events, personalities, triumphs and tragedies that, to greater or lesser degrees, still resonate today. From the release of the classic 007 movie, Goldfinger, to the emergence of a brash young fighter named Cassius Clay; from the first rumblings of Beatlemania and the British Invasion to America's deepening entanglement in Southeast Asia and Vietnam, LIFE covers at the time provided readers with a sort of weekly visual tally of the year's significant people and moments.

So I've been able to stay almost entirely apolitical on this blog. But I hope you'll forgive me this exception for the first genuinely funny thing published in a Norman Chad column in ten years.
David Weaver, from Birmingham, Alabama wrote in to ask: "If Hillary Clinton is qualified for the White House because she watched her husband be governor and president for 20 years, why haven't the Atlanta Falcons offered their quarterback job to Deanna Favre?"

An unsent letter from Albert Einstein proves to have a strange connection with a freely named playing card.
Playing-card manufacturer A. Dougherty leaves explicit cues on his cards and card cases that lead to spectators locating the four Aces in a shuffled deck.
Giobbi explains his masterly opening sequence for the Cups and Balls.
The guarantee card in the deck assures, in surprising ways, that chosen cards will be located-even in the most difficult circumstances-not just by the magician but by spectators as well!
A chosen card materializes in a mirror-a very eerie and unusual effect.
Dai Vernon's "Trick That Cannot Be Explained" is given the Giobbi treatment, which produces a tremendously entertaining and impossible result.
This and much more is taught along the way. Each trick, routine and essay is a vehicle to share numerous lessons that contribute to expert, professional conjuring. Those familiar with his acclaimed Card College series and Secret Agenda will know what to expect: one of the finest and most revealing texts ever written on the subject of card and close-up magic. Reading Confidences is like having an ear next to Giobbi's lips as he whispers some of his deepest secrets to you. These are true confidences. Read them and be ushered through the closed doors of professional magic.
"...a marvelous book of performance material and magic theory by one of our most important contemporary writers and teachers." -Eric Mead, Genii Magazine

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Kentucky's search for its next basketball
coach won't include Rick Pitino.
Pitino said Monday that while he enjoyed his eight years with
the Wildcats, he's happy coaching Louisville and wouldn't consider
returning to the school he led to the national championship in
"I would never ever leave [Louisville] to go to another college
because they're my family," Pitino said.
Though Pitino said he was "shocked" by Tubby Smith's sudden
departure last week, he sees too much potential in the Cardinals to
consider leaving. Louisville went 24-10 this season and finished
second in the Big East before falling to Texas A&M in the second
round of the NCAA Tournament.
While Pitino acknowledged leaving Kentucky following the 1997
season was a "mistake," he joked that at age 54 he's "too old to
leave" Louisville, but understands why there's so much speculation
about his interest in the job.
"It's a great job. I had eight years of Camelot, I've said
that," he said. "It's the Roman Empire of college basketball."
Florida coach Billy Donovan, who played for Pitino at Providence
and spent several years as a Kentucky assistant under Pitino, could
be among the candidates to replace Smith. Pitino declined to
speculate on whether Donovan is considering leaving Florida.
The defending national champions play UCLA in the Final Four on
Saturday and are trying to become the first team since Duke in 1992
to win back-to-back titles.
"Billy is like a son to me and I stopped telling Billy what to
do and what not to do in 1987," Pitino said. "He's got a great
opportunity right now. He's not thinking of anything else."

Monday, February 14, 2011
Joey Houssian of the Outdoor Adventures Whistler company will be speaking to the media about the alleged slaughtering of approximately 100 sled dogs. These dogs were said to have been killed due to a decrease in business and stories have been running rampant through the media. There have been conflicting reports as to how the dogs were actually killed and who is responsible for their deaths. It's easy to see how a story such as this can trigger strong emotions, which is why it's so important to find out what really happened.
I think it's going to be very important for people to take a step back from their initial response of wanting to believe the worst and listen to what the company has to say from their perspective. We can only hope that the animals didn't endure what some reports have stated, and that we can learn how to prevent this type of situation from happening in the future if these animals were needlessly killed. Even if they died a humane death, I think many people are wondering if these animals were ever given the opportunity to be adopted, and I'm willing to hear what Joey Houssian has to say.

West Haven grand list grows by over $18 million to total of $2.82 billion
WEST HAVEN -- The city's 2011 grand list grew by $18.06 million compared to last year's, despite a drop in real estate assessments and a stagnant economy, officials said.
The boost, which brings the grand list to $2.82 billion, wasn't driven by any significant building projects, but came through a few different avenues, according to Assessor Ann Marie Gradoia.
The figure represents about a 1 percent increase from last year's $2.8 billion and will bring the city about $500,000 in additional revenue, Mayor John M. Picard said.
"Half of a million in more revenue is always welcomed here. Would you like it to be more? Always, but it's a welcome step in the right direction," Picard said, adding that the grand list decreased last year.
The grand list reflects the value of all taxable real estate, motor vehicles and business equipment.
Residents' purchases of new vehicles contributed to the increase, as the net total of motor vehicles went up from $224.09 million to $239.6 million, according to the assessor's office.
The results of a personal property tax audit program also helped, as business equipment increased from $86.74 million to $90.32 million.
A contractor had assisted the assessor's office in tracking down city residents' vehicles that were registered in other states, as those cars can be billed here for property taxes, according to Gradoia. She offered the example of people who live in other states for part of the year and drive a car between the two residences.
Gradoia said the city is also getting additional revenue from businesses that hadn't yet registered in the city.
The real estate total took a small dip, going from $2.495 billion to $2.494 billion.
Picard said Thursday that he anticipates the grand list to show additional growth next year, thanks to upcoming building projects such as a CVS pharmacy proposal.
Mike Last, leader of the City Council's Finance Committee, called the extra revenue "much needed," adding, "I think it's a small increase, but it's positive, and I'm looking forward to better years, certainly with a City Council that's more business-friendly, a revamped planning and zoning board that's more business-friendly."
Regarding grand list increases in each fire district, the Center District went up by $6.2 million, Allingtown by $6.06 million, and West Shore by $5.79 million, according to the assessor's office.
Picard will submit a proposed budget for fiscal 2012-13 to the City Council in March, and a new tax rate will be finalized after the council approves a budget this spring.

After the biggest change in state assessment in almost 30 years, the first round of Unbridled Learning scores are being released state-wide today.
Oldham County is the highest-ranked county district in the state and the seventh-highest ranked overall. The top six schools are all independent districts.
The new accountability system awards recognition levels based on percentiles.
As a district, Oldham County is one of just two county districts in the state's nine Districts of Distinction, the highest recognition level.
The University of Evansville is proud to announce that North Oldham High School alum Brandon Causey was honored at the Heritage Federal Credit Union Student-Athlete Academic Honors Breakfast on Sept. 27 in UE's Eykamp Hall.
At the event, the University of Evansville was announced as the recipient of the 2011-12 Missouri Valley Conference All-Academic Award, given to the school whose student-athletes post the highest cumulative GPA.
Raven Byars, a South Oldham High School junior, and her Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher, Diane Poe, recently returned from the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America Capitol Leadership Training, held Sept. 30- Oct. 3, in Washington, D.C.
As the Kentucky FCCLA vice-president of finance, Byars had the opportunity to participate in the leadership academy program.
This powerful leadership development and certification program focuses on team building, service, professionalism, planning, communication, networking, and ethics.
Officials from the Oldham County school district recently suspended a middle school teacher for more than a week without pay for violating district policies.
According to documents from the Oldham County Board of Education's Sept. 24 meeting, East Oldham Middle School teacher Kevin Cox was suspended eight days without pay.
Cox, the school's band director, was suspended from Sept. 4 through Sept. 13.
School board candidates had a chance to speak publicly at a forum last week, ahead of an important November election.
Four of the five board seats are contested this year and many consider it an important time in Oldham County Schools' history as construction is set to begin on Brownsboro Elementary and the district continues to tap into financial reserves to avoid raising taxes.
Although school board positions are non-partisan, the Oldham County Republican Party hosted a forum for candidates Sept. 25.
College and career readiness is now a benchmark for high school students across the state, and local officials say Oldham County students are off to a good start.
The new standards, part of Senate Bill 1 from 2009, are designed to increase college completion and job attainment for high school graduates.
Oldham County students passed more than 1,500 advanced placement exams in 2012, making them eligible to earn college credit before graduating high school.
Students passed two-thirds of the 2,287 tests issued with a 3 or higher on the AP exams' five-point scale.
Most Kentucky public universities will accept a 3 or better for college credit.
Presidential and congressional candidates are dominating the airways this election season, but expect to see signs cropping up for candidates for local offices as the Nov. 6 election approaches.
The deadline for candidates to file for the general election was Aug. 14.
Four of the five Oldham County Board of Education seats are contested, and no candidate is running unopposed.
Oldham County Schools graduation rates fell last year, according to a report released last week by the Kentucky Department of Education.
But district administrators said the number doesn't accurately reflect graduation rates because of a change in the way rates are calculated.
Oldham County's district-wide graduation rate for 2010-11 fell to 85.6 percent — falling nearly 3 percentage points from 2009-10.
School district tax rates will remain the same, despite a $220,000 projected deficit.
Oldham County Board of Education members unanimously agreed Aug. 10 to keep the current rate of 68.9 cents per $100 of property value.
Retaining the current rate will cause the district's revenue to be $219,000 less than the 2012-13 estimated budget, said Randy Davis, the district's assistant chief financial officer.

Mini Dental ImplantsFor an appointment call our office today at 870-246-2242 or Make an Appointment
Mini Dental Implants
Mini dental implants are an alternative to conventional implants. As implied by the name, they are smaller than regular implants, about half the width. Mini implants are most often suggested for patients whose bone width is not dense enough to support regular implants. They can be used to stabilize dentures or a restoration for a small tooth, front tooth or teeth located in a narrow space.
The procedure for placing mini implants is much quicker and less invasive than that of placing traditional implants. Because they are small, there is no need for complex surgery, and they are usually placed in one visit. The minimally invasive procedure also allows for a faster healing process. Plus, there isn't as significant a disturbance to the bone and tissue, so the procedure doesn't cause a great deal of discomfort.
During the procedure:
- A local anesthetic or light sedation will be used to reduce discomfort
- Using a controlled technique, your dentist will place the mini implant into the jawbone, acting as an anchor for your tooth restoration or denture
- Once stable, the mini implant will hold your restoration securely in place
To find out if you might be a candidate for mini implants, call Arkadelphia Dental Care at 870-246-2242 to schedule a consultation.

DEER VALLEY — Former Secretary of State James Baker said being among the GOP elite at a weekend retreat for Mitt Romney's biggest supporters reminded him of a similar gathering held nearly four decades ago in the mountains of Colorado.
Then-President Gerald Ford had brought together the nation's top Republicans to Vail to talk about what would ultimately be a losing election for him that fall against Democrat Jimmy Carter.
But Baker, who ran Ford's unsuccessful campaign and later served in key roles in the Bush and Reagan administrations, was much more optimistic Saturday about the outcome of Romney's bid for the White House.
"I think it's going well. I really do," Baker told reporters gathered outside the exclusive Chateaux, one of several hotels hosting the more than 700 Republicans attending the retreat. "We're going to have a different result. This year, we're going to win."
Another member of what's been called a Republican "Dream Team" of presenters at the retreat, strategist Karl Rove, told KSL he was happy to be back in Utah. He later tried to avoid a group of reporters by sprinting to a waiting golf cart.
We're going to have a different result. This year, we're going to win.
–- James Baker, former Secretary of State
"I was damn good," was all Rove had to say about his presentation on the media before being whisked away.
The retreat, which ends Sunday with a round of golf, is a perk for Romney's top supporters. The price tag for admission was contributing a minimum of $50,000 or raising at least $250,000 for the Romney Victory fund.
Security was tight for the event, with Secret Service agents and local law enforcement authorities patrolling the grounds. The hotel itself was closed to the press and the public, but a few reporters managed to mingle in the lobby with the well-connected guests.
A longtime Romney fundraiser looked around the crowded room and said it used to be tough to get many people to attend an event for the former leader of the 2002 Winter Olympics. That's changed since he became the party's presumptive nominee.
"Now," the fundraiser said, "they have to come."
Some of the big contributors and fundraisers were clearly star- struck.
Californian Larry Conti showed off an autograph from Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan, viewed as a GOP leader on budget issues. "I'm like a little kid," Conti said. "I'm just sitting there as a fan taking it all in."
Peter Ullrich, a doctor from Wisconsin, described the retreat as "a little bit like going to a rock concert. It's absolutely amazing. You see what's going on and what they're doing with your money."
Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah, one the later presenters on Saturday along with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R- Virginia, and former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, said he was surprised at how much information was being shared.
"I thought it would be more rah-rah," Chaffetz said. Instead, he said, donors and fundraisers got an inside look at "Romneyworld," including how decisions are made on a daily basis.
Chaffetz, a surrogate on the campaign trail for Romney, said there's a marked difference from the start of the 2012 primary season.
"When I joined Gov. Romney on the bus in Iowa for a week, it was just myself and (South Dakota Sen.) John Thune. There were several other empty seats," he said with a laugh. "Now it's hard to even get close to the candidate."
Romney held a cookout Friday night at Utah Olympic Park, mingling with the people providing the funding for his campaign. His wife, Ann, and Olympic gold medalist ice skater Dorothy Hamill held a tea Saturday afternoon.
Several Republicans viewed as possible vice presidential picks, including Ryan, attracted plenty of attention from attendees, Chaffetz said.
"A lot of people are getting their picture taken with who might be the vice presidential pick," he said, identifying them as "any one of the brand names in there, from Paul Ryan to Sen. Thune, to (former Secretary of State) Condoleezza Rice."
Locals and visitors outside the hotel wondered what was going on, especially with the lineup of police vehicles and SUVs with tinted windows out in front.
Jaime Masner, an analyst visiting from Durango, Colo., said she and her husband were on a bike ride when they spotted Romney being driven to the hotel. "He was reading the paper," Masner said, and didn't return their wave.
Store clerk Debby Pierce said she's spotted a few of the retreat participants, but they're not spending much on souvenirs.
"I can obviously tell that people in dress pants and shirts are not the normal people" that visit the mountain resort, she said.

24 November 2008
On the Morning After Turning Forty
I'm just a girl with my head screwed on
I'm just a girl with a smoking gun
— Eurythmics
There was, oddly, no palpable change. The alarm clock went off as usual. The cold milky white light of early winter flooded through the windows, as it always does when the sun dips low on the horizon at this time of year. The morning coffee tasted the same, the first cigarette crackled and burned in a familiar way. Neither flooded with a newly acquired sage omniscience nor weighed down with the depression of wasted youth, one showered and shaved with the usual alacrity, and made one's way into the city, with its demands and quibbles and annoyances, beeping appliances and red lights and merge lanes.
At what is most likely the prime of my life, I remain unfixed. Gazing in the mirror, the act of vanity, I closely examine the face reflected back, my face. People tell me I do not look my age. Yet, I notice the signs, the lack of elasticity, a persistent sagging under the eyes, the mild yet durable imprint of lines across the forehead. One's skin does not bounce back from a late night or a stressful week in the way it once did. The face settles into a jowly countenance of, of what? Disappointment? Preoccupation? Distraction? Dissonance? Only by bringing my mouth into a wide, clown-like grin do I approximate conventional happiness, of a mildly insane sort. Tired with the effort, I let my face fall, resuming its somber sobriety, the battle scars of all the good times.
I wish I could say that attaining my current state of grace has given me, serendipitously, some sort of insight into the meaning of life, about what is most important, about separating the wheat from the chaff, of sons and daughters calling me Daddy and the warm, nightly embrace of another who loves me for the proverbial me, the compelling messages of advertising and popular culture and sentiment. A random day on the calendar, of course, does not endow us with such enlightenment. I turn away from the mirror with a shrug, return to the computer, sip a Fresca, light a cigarette, and load Facebook.
There, in that digital bonfire of the vanities, I scan the photos of my contemporaries, my Facebook 'friends,' some who are actual friends and others somewhat more imprecise, some from those vaunted bright college years and others from graduate school. Some look older and others, disturbingly, the same. And yet still others have an effect that is neither, yet both. They look evolved, comfortable in their skins. I too have evolved, but into what?
All I know for sure is that I have survived an arduous year, the life equivalent of swimming the English Channel, and now I return my shoulder to the wheel of the tenure-track, to an approximation of regular life, to work. Arbeit macht frei, or so they say. My social world, once broad and lively and pleasantly distracting, has severely contracted, a retrograde movement from macro to micro. I dislike talking on the telephone and am terrible about email. I promise to write but am distracted by work, by the lake, by listening to Tom Petty and Alphaville and Mary J. Blige, by smart little books on Bismarck's German Empire and catching up on my Michael Cunningham. Only a handful of stalwart holdouts have managed to develop a benevolent tolerance for such bad habits, spread out in an archipelago stretching from San Francisco to Toronto to Montreal to Providence (of all places).
More importantly, there is nothing like a life crisis to palpably demonstrate who one's friends really are, and I would be lying if I said I was terribly surprised that over the course of the last year so many have disappeared into the ether. Somehow, such sudden, trap door exits now seem expected, normal, unremarkable. People change, tastes diverge, interests and enthusiasms become too elongated through time and space, taxing their elasticity beyond even the supple, insipid boundaries of sentimentality. As goes Facebook, so goes the world. I have been 'un-friended' by many I once thought intimates, and as on Facebook, one is generally not notified when one is unceremoniously removed from a life. My desire to know, to plumb the reasons and rationales remains, is matched by the knowledge that one will never really know why for sure, only that there is no longer any there there. Certainly there are worse things, but the effect of this process of loss has been a curious distance fueled more by boredom with the machinations of people than passionate feeling. I shrug my shoulders.
Rodriguez once wrote,
Though I am alive now, I do not believe an old man's pessimism is necessarily truer than a young man's optimism simply because it comes after. There are things a young man knows that are true and not yet in the old man's power to recollect. Spring has its sappy wisdom. Lonely teenagers still arrive in San Francisco aboard Greyhound buses. The city can still seem, by comparison with where they came from, paradise. (27)
I returned to this quote in Rodriguez's morbidly fascinating essay "Late Victorians." What this young man knew that the older one cannot recollect is an abstraction, of course, since we are real time compendiums of our experiential knowledge, but perhaps a useful abstraction. This young man believed in friendship, in community, in ambition matched only by gleeful dissipation. Forty seems to mark a space where dissipation becomes slightly more literal than figurative, a lack of elasticity. As for friendship and community, well, in my current state I'm no longer sure where exactly to place those. Hypothetically, they exist, but like rare orchids or an elaborate facial ritual, they're a bitch to maintain.
Rodriguez's queer first words of "Though I am alive now" always struck me as intriguing. The narrator must, on some level, be obviously alive, yet the connection of that state of living to knowledge seems purposefully unclear, for Rodriguez is too much of an anal retentive stylist for such a line to be an accident. It seems to place Rodriguez in a strange position of generational interlocution, but a confusing one that smacks of hypochondria and delusion, two sentiments not unfamiliar to Rodriguez, but still.
But perhaps that is the point. I am a coastal extraterrestrial (ethereal, homosexual, intellectual), crash landed in the mid-western zone of North America. Salvaged from the wreck: notepad, laptop, one-half pack of cigarettes, a lighter, a dogeared copy of Joan Didion's "The White Album," one compact disc by Yoko Ono, one travel-size tube of ClarinsMen Shampooing Ideal, and an orange Lamy fountain pen.
Though I am alive now.

Happy birthday.
(You're not the only one who's felt her circle of friendships contract rather severely in recent years, and I don't even have a crisis to blame. Is this just to be expected in middle life? I don't know.)
And God, I love and miss your writing.

Ah, my dear, wait until you are 50 and are in peri-menopause and a dying marriage. More than the skin sags, believe me. (And I am still looking for a TT job - !!) At my age, a Chronicle article by an adjunct professor relating how finally landing a permanent job came hard on the heels of her Botox treatment becomes something of an inspiration (however desperate) instead of the dismal confession of the ruthlessness of today's academic job market it ought to be.

The blink of an eye. That's how fast a mission can fail if vision is compromised. But there is more to goggles than protection. Comfort is essential for eliminating distraction. The field of view must be wide and unobstructed, and the visual clarity must be razor sharp and true.
A standard issue goggle that sets the standard, the Oakley SI BALLISTIC GOGGLE 2.0 takes a lean-and-mean approach that maximizes comfort and offers a field of view that earns the rank of best in class. The low profile design weighs a mere 3.7 ounces, yet its impact resistance complies with ANSI Z87.1-2015, EN-166 BT K and U.S. Army MCEPS, plus MIL-DTL-43511 ballistic impact resistance requirements in all lens configurations. All lenses feature the unrivaled clarity of High Definition Optics (HDO), and Polaric Ellipsoid geometry maintains visual fidelity all the way to the lens periphery. That means objects appear in their true position, not shifted like the view from ordinary goggles. It all comes in an interchangeable lens design that holds the lens securely in place yet allows for quick and easy lens changing in the field, thanks to a convenient locking slide.
Engineered for minimized facial standoff, the frame is matched with a low-profile, flame-resistant strap system designed for quick release and enhanced with anti-slip tack strips. Moisture wicking fleece foam maintains comfort along the facial contact area.
The compatibility of this goggle is wide-ranging, and it can be used with MICH, ACH, LWH, CVC, FAST, Crye and Ops-Core helmet systems, as well as helmet-mounted night vision devices.

Legless Marine Conquers Marathon
(CHICAGO) -- When more than 38,000 competitors set off Sunday at the Chicago marathon, few of them likely had a more incredible journey to the start line than Ben Maenza.
Maenza, a Marine lance corporal, lost both his legs two years ago when they were blown off by a bomb in Afghanistan, weeks after his deployment there had begun.
But instead of losing his competitive nature, Maenza was fueled by his injuries. Using a hand bike, he has now competed in multiple marathons and even ridden across the country from Florida to California.
"People think you can't do stuff like that without your legs, so being out there and proving that you can and making it happen, it's really gratifying," Maenza, 24, said in a phone interview from his hometown of Nashville, Tenn.
That motivation to succeed on his bike came at a crucial time for Maenza.
After leaving Afghanistan, he spent a year and a half in rehabilitation at the Walter Reed Medical Center outside of Washington, D.C. It was there that he started talking to Achilles International, a group that helps athletes with disabilities.
"It was exactly what I needed at that point in my recovery," he said. "I was at a crossroads. They came in and gave me a way to get a sense of accomplishment. It gives you something to work towards, the knowledge that you are capable and you can do it."
"I never really was a runner or a cyclist before, but when Achilles approached me and asked me to do it, it kind of lit a fire in me and, quite frankly, I'm pretty good at it."
During his races, Maenza feeds off the crowds, mentioning the motivation he gets from seeing fans waving U.S. flags.
"When people cheer for you, I get goose bumps," he said. "It's overwhelming."
Maenza had to overcome some equipment problems Sunday in Chicago, but he still managed to finish the marathon in an hour and 48 minutes.
"Obviously, I was a little slower than I intended, but I've got a good excuse, my wheel was broken," he said.
Maenza also has academic goals to go with his athletic ones. He hopes to earn a college degree, and do it with a 3.0 GPA to boot.
"As silly as it may sound, the only thing that's intimidated me is school. I am terrified of it," he said. "People think you're a Marine, you're tough. But I'm a human being, you know? I'm just a normal guy, just missing my legs. That's it."

Phillips de Pury & Co. to Launch Carte Blanche Auction at New Space on Park Avenue

Phillips de Pury & Company
will open its new flagship at 450 Park Avenue with the much anticipated first Carte Blanche auction and Part 1 Contemporary Art Evening Sale on November 8th.
The Carte Blanche sale is comprised of 33 works with a low estimate of approximately $80,000,000 /£51,000,000.
We are thrilled at Phillips de Pury to inaugurate our new space on 450 Park Avenue in New York with the first of a new type of sales. We have given Philippe Ségalot a Carte Blanche to curate the sale of his dreams. This sale will be a game changer in the way auctions are being prepared. Simon de Pury, Chairman Phillips de Pury & Company.
The groundbreaking Carte Blanche series will début with the inaugural sale curated by Philippe Ségalot. The auction will be followed by other Carte Blanche sales to be curated by artists, collectors, curators or gallery owners. Thereby continuing Phillips de Pury & Companys tradition as innovators in the art market.
Philippe Ségalot is the former international head of contemporary art at Christies and has been an art advisor within his company Giraud Pissarro Ségalot for the last 10 years. He has developed the Carte Blanche sale with the same focus and attention to quality that a private collector would develop their own collection.
I have always been interested in the concept of curated sales, where the artworks are selected not for their market value but for their artistic quality, historical importance and coherence within the group. Here, I tried to push this idea further by bringing together a small collection comprised of my favorite works by my favorite artists. The result is a true self-portrait, a close representation of my life as an art lover, an art collector and an art advisor. Philippe Ségalot.
With highlights rare to the market such as Andy Warhols, Men in Her Life, 1962, Maurizio Cattelans, Stephanie, 2003 and Takashi Murakamis, Miss ko2, 1997, the inaugural auction promises to be an electric and unmissable event for collectors and art lovers worldwide.
Highlights from the sale include:
Andy Warhols, Men in Her Life, 1962, estimate on request. Men in Her Life is an outstandingly important work from one of the most significant and creative moments in Andy Warhols career. Made in the fall of 1962, arguably the artists breakthrough year, the picture is among his earliest silkscreen paintings, and it combines in one image many of the central themes of his oeuvre: celebrity, wealth, scandal, sex, death, Hollywood, icons of American life. The present painting, moreover, is one of only four works in the Men in Her Life series; it is one of only two of these works on a large-scale, multi-image format; and it is the largest of all the four pictures in the series. It is a work of great significance, fascination and beauty.
Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Untitled (Portrait of Marcel Brient), 1992, estimated at $4,000,000 6,000,000. The candy pieces are the most celebrated and iconic series by Felix Gonzalez-Torres. Untitled (Portrait of Marcel Brient), 1992, is an especially important example from the series and an unconventional portrait of the artists close friend, the important French collector, Marcel Brient. It is one of only two such works all in blue a color especially beloved by the artist and the only one in the series to bear a word on the original wrapper PASSION. While his other candy portraits have an element of elegy and lamentation mixed in with the beauty, the present work instead seems to focus more exclusively on joy and celebration.
Jean-Michel Basquiats, Self Portrait, 1982, estimated at $4,000,000 6,000,000. SELF PORTRAIT is one of Basquiats most intimate and autobiographical works. In it the artist depicts himself as a man-child. The materials and the anatomy of the figure directly evoke the style of childrens drawings, and yet the picture manifests a depth of self-analysis that has few rivals in modern and contemporary art. Self Portrait is a votive and reliquary, a tabernacle of memory and desire, hope and loss, making the work as much a fetish or a sculpture as a painting.
Takashi Murakamis, Miss ko2, 1997, estimated at $4,000,0006,000,000. Miss ko2 is the first large-scale sculpture Murakami ever made of a character inspired by the fantasy world of otaku, the obsessive Japanese subculture of anime, manga and video games. It is hyper-sexual and emphatically artificial - Miss ko2 embodies both ancient Japanese traditions, and their contemporary transformation in otaku culture; and it points to some of the same transformations emerging in the hybridization of culture all over the world today.
Robert Morris, Untitled, 1967, estimated at $400,000 600,000. Untitled, 1967, is one of Robert Morriss earliest felts. A central figure in the New York art scene since the mid sixties, this work is from Morris permutation series minimal sculptures based on elements that were regrouped daily in order to calculate all possible configurations. Two layers of felt are juxtaposed on top of one another and hung eight feet high from the floor.
Maurizio Cattelans, Charlie, 2003, estimated at $2,000,000 3,000,000. Charlie, 2003, was created for the international exhibition of the 50th Venice Biennale. He is a remote-controlled, doll-like self-portrait of Cattelan as a child who pilots a small tricycle. By way of the works remote control, the Cattelan doll, can be made to drive the tricycle in any direction desired, and can also be made to move its eyes, or even roll them in cartoonish exasperation. Charlie is an iconic example of what Cattelan has dubbed his mini-mes - works that act as Cattelans physical and emotional surrogates and as tools to both deconstruct and elaborate his public persona.
Paul McCarthys, Mechanical Pig, 2005, estimated at $2,500,000 3,500,000. In the grand scheme of Paul McCarthys art, full of the exaggerated and the grotesque, Mechanical Pig is one of the few works that is seemingly naturalistic and straightforward. Not only is the sculpture life-size and made of materials that mimic the color and texture of animal skin with uncanny accuracy, it even pulses with the appearance of inner vitality: the pig breathes rhythmically and occasionally moves her feet, tongue and eyeballs. Moreover, like a sculpture on a pedestal, the pig is placed atop a set of machines that power its illusion of life, and the wires and pulleys that connect the pig and the machines are fully exposed to view.
Cindy Shermans, Untitled # 153, 1985, estimated at $2,000,000 3,000,000.The only work from this edition not in a museum collection, Untitled #153 is one of the most iconic from Cindy Shermans Fairy Tale series. Shermans persona lies sprawled out on the grass, seemingly dead and partially buried yet with eyes open. Focusing on the gruesome and the macabre in this series, Sherman presents us with an altered perspective to the commercialized, happily-ever-after of fairy tales.
Maurizio Cattelans, Stephanie, 2003, estimated at $1,500,000 2,000,000. Cattelans work Stephanie, 2003, is a portrait commissioned by newsprint magnate and magazine publisher Peter Brant of his wife Stephanie Seymour. It is a lifelike, nude waxwork of Seymour, the legendary supermodel Designed to be mounted on the wall, the piece turns the effigy of Stephanie Seymour into a literal trophy wife, her voluptuous form arching gracefully out of the wall. Stephanie certainly has mischievous overtones that suggest Cattelan may have been having fun at his commissioners expense, but the work also resonates in a way that pushes it beyond the bounds of a simple prank.
Thomas Schüttes, Grosse Geist No. 16, 2000, estimated at $1,000,000 1,500,000. Grosse Geist No. 16, 2000, is cast in aluminum and one the most intricate sculptures from Schüttes Grosse Geister (Big Spirits) series. The figures are ghostly, colossal, fluid, and monstrous boldly striking yet wrapped in unexpected contradictions and tensions. Completed between 1995 and 2004, Schütte created seventeen different versions of these Big Spirits, each in an edition of three and each of the three in a different medium: aluminum, polished bronze or steel. No two of these works are exactly alike.
David Hammons, Hair Relaxer, 2001, estimated at $800,000 1,200,000. Hair Relaxer is an outstanding example of David Hammonss artistry. The title of the present work refers to the practice among African Americans of relaxing or straightening their hair. Like many of his best works it is at once philosophical and humorous, deep and light-hearted and made from a combination of cast-off materials and high-minded principles. It is simultaneously a reflection of African American experience and a response to European American Modern Art. Hammons has often used hair in his works as a means of provoking thought but perhaps no other piece by the artist does so on such a large scale or in such a bold way.

Last Wednesday, our church had a Fall Festival & Trunk or Treat in conjunction with Awana. At some point during the evening, my camera went missing & is still lost. So all my pictures are what I took with my phone.
|Throw a pie at the pastor was a big hit!
I forgot to take a picture of my trunk but instead of decorating it with the typical Halloween/Fall decor, I decided to go with a UGA theme. I took everything UGA we had in the house & even downloaded some UGA music to have playing while the kids came by! I don't know what everybody else thought about it, but I loved it! I may or may not have continued to listen to the UGA music throughout the week.
On Halloween, we were looking forward to trick or treating in our neighborhood. Emma dressed up in an 80's outfit & volunteered to hand out candy. Dougie didn't dress up but wanted to walk with the little boys & help Asher carry his basket, which was his UGA helmet. (Dougie's idea!)
I tried to get a video of Asher going up to a door & saying "tick-a-teat!" but it was really dark & you couldn't really hear him. =(
When we got back to the house, Emma told us how she had run out of candy & had to resort to handing out gummy snacks. Good thing I'd just bought a bunch of them!
We had a really good time & made some great memories! Love y'all!
