Salomon stars for Windsor in 4A state finals
March 1, 2013
DENVER — Joel Salomon pulled a fast one Saturday night.
Salomon, Windsor's senior 113-pound wrestler, used a go-behind move for a takedown with 13 seconds left in his Class 4A state title match against heavily-favored Broomfield standout Drew Romero to record a 4-2 victory.
Salomon's 152-pound teammate Kennen Lanteri (42-5) won in similar fashion — a 5-3 decision over Falcon's Cody Soulka — but minus the drama.
The Wizards, in a quest for a three-peat of their Class 4A team title came up short, finishing third with 129 points, less than point behind runner-up Discovery Canyon and well behind winner Broomfield.
The sly Salomon (48-2) capitalized on a failed strategy by Romero (39-3) in the final seconds, then threw his hands in the air as he faced the Windsor faithful.
Simultaneously, Windsor assistant coach Dick Thomas fell to his knees and grabbed his head, saying to nobody in particular "My friend. My little friend. I'm going to miss my little friend."
Thomas and Salomon are workout partners with Thomas displaying a scrape on his ear to prove his pupil's toughness.
Sitting mat-side, Windsor head coach Monte Trusty turned to his father/assistant coach Milo and shouted "he did it. He did it."
What Salomon did was avenge an 11-0 loss to Romero a little more than a month ago. Salomon changed his own strategy, not letting the more physical Romero get in on his legs as much and keeping him from circling on the edge for takedowns.
In fact, Romero conceded an escape point to Salomon between the second and third period, knotting the score at 2-2 and figuratively challenging Salomon to beat him on his feet.
"I said to myself 'all right, I'll take that,' " Salomon said. "Then I stayed in good position on my feet."
After two more legitimate shots by Romero, Salomon was a bit surprised to see Romero stay on the mat instead of coming up for a reshot.
He then went into a front headlock mode and scooted for the go-behind and the winning points.
"I saw him twist a little bit, and all I had to do was go behind him and keep him down," an elated Salomon explained. "After four years, this feels really good."
Lanteri (46-7) won in similar fashion, recording a reversal with 59 seconds left in the match.
He had previously scored a reversal with just 3 seconds left in the second period after hearing Trusty holler at him "get his face, no hook up the leg. Hook it."
Lanteri followed the instructions perfectly, and actually battled off of his back, nearly giving up near fall points, to record the convincing reversal.
"I saw the referee start to count, and knew I couldn't give up points," Lanteri said.
In the final 20 seconds of the match Lanteri wasn't about to give an inch, holding off Soulka's final chance at scoring.
"I didn't need a scramble," Lanteri said. "I was definitely in a defensive position."
Windsor heavyweight Robert Bishop-Cotner was hardly a match for Golden's Dakota Gulley (34-2), falling behind early 5-0 before finally succumbing to a pin in 1:27 in the 4A heavyweight match.
Trusty shuns the credit, instead giving it to his wrestlers.
"Salomon's win was big for us and Keenen wrestled tough," Trusty said.
Lanteri explained how his endurance also played a role in the victory, remembering Trusty preach about being able to outlast competitors.
"You'd say to yourself 'yeah, well everybody is going to be in good condition, but in the end it paid off. Monte was right."

This chandelier is a great way to add color to any room, is fun for all ages and will make a great gift. Buy two and drop them low to use as bedside lamps. Or use this chandelier to jazz up your kitchen or dining room!
From the Style at Home with Margie Collection.
Made from crystal glass and metal, this chandelier measures 30"H with a 20" diameter. The lamp uses four 40-watt candelabra bulbs. Hardwired; professional installation is recommended. Clean with a damp, clean cloth. Dry with soft, clean cloth. Professional level of assembly is required (approximately 1-2 hours). UL approved; for indoor use only.
Please Note: We make every effort to ensure colors are represented accurately online. However, due the nature in which these lamps are crafted, slight color variations in stained glass are normal and help to make each lamp beautifully unique. Also, the appearance of the colors in the shade will be dependent on the lighting in the room. Cloth shades with a pattern may vary because of how the fabric is cut.

A good lighting scheme is arguably the most important aspect of decorating and the most powerful way to define a room's ambiance. Choosing the right types of lighting requires knowing a little something about the different purposes lighting can serve, the types of lamps and shades available, what some technical terms mean, and how to tailor a lighting scheme to your specific room and needs.
Like all large ceiling fixtures, chandeliers provide excellent general room illumination. Most chandeliers use a number of low wattage bulbs (40-60 watts is common) that should all be installed, and occasionally replaced, at the same time. A total bulb wattage of 200-400 will provide ample light for most dining rooms. When installing a chandelier in the dining room, the bottom should be about three feet above the table to allow for headroom. Center the chandelier over the table, not in the center of the room. The overall diameter should be a little less than that of the table. If you have a high enough ceiling, a chandelier also makes an excellent ambient light source for other rooms in your home. Foyers, living rooms and wide staircases are all ideal locations for a beautiful chandelier.
Types of lighting: Lighting falls into three categories: ambient, task and accent lighting. Well-lit rooms feature a combination of the three, allowing you to be comfortable without squinting or straining your eyes. The number and types of fixtures will vary with your room sizes, décor and personal preferences.
You have the perfect lamp and you've carefully chosen a shade for it, but what kind of light bulb should you choose? You may not think much about light bulbs, but the kind you choose has the greatest impact on the overall effect and effectiveness of your lamp. Many people make the mistake of buying a light bulb more powerful than they need for a particular lamp. This unfortunately can make a lamp so intense or distracting that it is rarely used. The simple solution to this problem is to use a smaller bulb. Most table and accent lamps require no more than a 60-watt bulb, even if they are rated for something much higher. While it's very important to never exceed the recommended bulb wattage for a lamp, there is nothing wrong with using a less-powerful bulb.
Aside from wattage, there are other factors to consider when choosing a light bulb. Light bulbs come in four basic types: incandescent, fluorescent, compact fluorescent and halogen.

It may be David Hinkins first stint as a state senator, but he is already up to his neck in assignments and issues before the session of the state legislature begins in late January.
"This has been fun so far, but we have a lot of work to do," he said in a cell phone conversation as he drove through Salt Lake on his way to the state capitol for a meeting.
Hinkins, the first Republican to serve as a state senator representing Castle Country in decades, said that he has already been able to garner some standing that it has traditionally been hard for Democrats from the area to get.
"I am on a number of committees this year and I am already the chair of the appropriations committee for Workforce Services," he said. "I am also on the appropriations committee for Natural Resources as well as on the standing committee for Health and Welfare."
In those capacities Hinkins can have some substantial input on funding and policies toward those areas.
Like everyone in government these days, Hinkins says the shrinking state budget will be a big deal during the next session of the legislature.
"I believe we will still be looking at a 7.5 percent cut for state agencies for the rest of this year (until July 1) and then next year the cuts to all agencies could be up to 15 percent," he stated. "However I do believe the cuts to public education and Health and Welfare will not be that large if they have one at all. Lower cuts could be accomplished by bringing in rainy day fund money to supplement what is needed to keep these areas at present funding levels."
Gov.Jon Huntsman Jr. has proposed that the cuts to all agenices be smaller by taking money out of the roads and highway funds to keep the percentages down. However, Hinkins believes doing that would be a mistake in an era of cheap labor and materials.
"Look at what we could get for our money if we do road construction and rebuild projects now," he said. "Steel is down 50 percent over what it was last year and concrete is nearly down as much. Contractors don't have as much work, so they will be hungry to bid for projects that they can work on. The new national administration is talking about making money available for public works projects, particularly roads, and we are talking about cutting those funds. To me it makes sense to continue with projects and to get more for our money."
Hinkins is also going to be working on some bills and resolutions of his own. One resolution will be to support sending 200 state prisoners to a new jail that San Juan County plans to build.
"They need the state to commit to filling some of the beds at that jail before they can get the financing for it," he stated.
He is also working on a bill that has to do with the attourney general's office as well as another concerning a monopoly in the car salvaging business that is taking place in Utah County.
He also says that he will be doing all he can for the College of Eastern Utah concerning funding. In early December, CEU sent out letters to more than 40 faculty members who were told their contracts for next year may not be renewed because of funding concerns. What will actually happen remains to be seen, but with a possible 15 percent cut looming from the state legislature beginning July 1, some positions in all aspects of the college including faculty, professional staff, administration and in the classified ranks are at risk.
"I just want to be sure we can do what we can to keep as many people employed as possible at the college. We also want to keep tuition from rising more than necessary to continue operations there," he concluded.

I've realized something after BSing with another reader over in a PM, Prometheus has this "Warhead" weapon as mentioned on page 205... I think this thing's packing a nuke... in which case oh crap... and in that case that makes a lot of sense as to why it was the one Gundamjacked by Katherine... The Preventers were contemplating using the "Nuclear Option."

New theory:
Each of he scientists started building 2 suits, but ultimately just finished one. The ones that weren't completed where gathered up and somehow put under Quatre's jurisdiction without his knowing. And that is why they all look like their EW counterparts!
Ya, I kinnda wish they would look somewhat more different/ evolved then the EW ones.
As far as Quatre with the bow and arrow, the kid is not just a gifted musician. I wouldn't be surprised if he even knew how to preform a Japanese tea ceremony at this point.

Try as much as you will, it just doesn't make sense that there were incomplete suits lying around in Quatre's basement. Especially not incomplete Mars Suits. Unless you're telling me that the scientists all survived Libra's fall (which admittedly wouldn't be very surprising considering how no one in the freaking series gets killed in an explosion ...except for Darlian ), there is no reason for them to design something to be used in an environment that's hardly accessible or significant at the time.
...then again, Epyon is flying around Mars, too. So I guess it's easy to refit normal MS for Mars use. I still stand by my point though. Why waste precious resources to build two suits?
And if anyone hid them in his basement, it ought to be Zayeed. I can't believe Instructor H just stuffed them in there and no one knew. Then again, Quatrine popped outta nowhere, too. Huh.
I also have the sneaking suspicion that he's wearing a Goron tunic underneath his shirt and pants because seriously, that kid is totally heat-resistant. Trekking through the desert? Traveling in a spaceship with temperatures above 80°C/180°F? Except for sweating his butt off it doesn't seem to faze him. o_o

I thought the translation was 80°F and used to laugh at this... 180°F makes much more sense. Poor Quatre, he must have baked on his way back to earth.

Depending on how you look at it Promethus could be considered just keeping with the theme that HA/Kai and Sandrock/Kai set, thing is if that is true then it's even more like Sandrock's upgrade will be minor.

The more changes the better, that said it was a good thing to be pointed out that it wasn't just Katoki who left HA as he was for the most part. In fact Katoki changed HA Kai for the most part more then Okawara.

Hey everyone. I'm know as Purdy in the GW fandom and have been a long time fan of the anime. But like most of us, as we grew up, GW has lost its relevance until Frozen Teardrop came to be. Since then, I've been dropping in and out of this forum to update myself on this convoluted, plot hole ridden, train-wreck of a sequel to our beloved anime. Just reading snippets here and there are enough to have me go dizzy with confusion; like the original show itself wasn't hard enough to follow. One thing for sure is, you can't fault FT for being uneventful or slow like the series was:S.
In any case, I still find myself hard to keep up with what's going on so I have a few questions. Anyone willing to answer, I'll be very thankful . So...
1. I already knew from Wikia that Duo was nothing but a selfish, irresponsible ass to Hilde for jerking her about by leaving, then marrying, then leaving her again, not to mention piling her with debt....but I just read from a past post here that he in fact actually married her FOR HER MONEY?!?! So not only was he a selfish deadbeat but he was also a gold digger? o.O
2. Am I to assume that Katsuyuki also rewrote EW? What is all this talk with the music box? Since when did Marie or Heero have a music box? What's the significance?
3. I've read "Interlude of the Heart" Part 1, the continuation to Preventer 5 (to my utter dread :S). So far, I'm not liking it but its entertaining at how crazy its getting. Has part 2 come out yet? If yes, what happened and where can someone link me?
4. What is the relevance of revealing everyone's past?? Like Heero's, Treize's, Relena and Milliardo's parents, etc. Is it neccessary? What's the connection with what's going on now? Can someone quickly summarize their stories to me too? I know that Relena's mother and aunt were twins and Relena's mother was tutored by the original Heero Yuy....and Relena's and Milliardo's birth father's name was Matrix? @_@
5. The last bit of plot I heard was that Heero fought with Zechs and Relena told Heero to kill her. (wow, shocker =.=) Anything else that's happened?

I never put to much thought into what others would say about how my daughter would never leave my bed since we co-sleep, but I think it still would creep in every once in a while. Especially once I found I was pregnant I started to wonder how will we do this, Our daughter is now 21mo. we had already started the transition well our daughter had started it after her first birthday. And then this past week it happened she didn't come into our room until the sunlight woke her up. She is fully transitioned to her own bed. I am feeling so confident in our parenting style especially seeing how it works. She was ready, it took a few nights for me to sleep since I am so used to the middle of the night wake-ups but it's unbelievable. No upset, No tears, just a happy well rested child and parents.
No announcement yet.
Yeah it works
new posts
Yeah it worksTags: None
Congratulations!! It's such a great feeling to have that confidence in your parenting style. Enjoy your sleep!
A little after my daughters first birthday we went out and bought a King size bed to make it easier on us since she was getting so big. We also decided to repaint our room and freshen it up so we all moved to the guest room with our old bed for a few nights. When it was time to go back to our room she didn't want to go to the new bed, she would go to the guest room for our nighttime routine. Then when she would wake up I would bring her to our room. She would stay for 1.5 and then it would go to 3 hours at night. Then as she has gotten bigger it has been longer and longer. And after a week of us all being on vacation and in the same bed all night long, we came home and she didn't come into our room until the sun came up. I thought it was a freak thing but then it kept happening. I didn't really do anything I just followed her lead and kept introducing new things to her room. We officially took down her nursery and turned her crib into a full size bed in the guest room and switched the rooms around so now she has the guest room with all her things in it. It was so neat to watch her make the transition with really no hard prompting from us.

Top image from the Star Trek sequel.The Dark Knight Rises Here's a page from the I Can Read series children's book Batman vs. Bane, which is a novelization of the movie aimed at people who are still a good eight or so years away from reading their first novel. The page depicts Bane kidnapping Commissioner Gordon and taking him into "his secret lair deep in the underground tunnels." Whether we'll actually see Tom Hardy and Gary Oldman acting out that scene is an open question, as I'm guessing plenty of things in the movie have to be condensed and changed for the children's book audience — assuming the book is really even based closely on the movie at at all — but I think we can officially throw "Bane kidnaps Commissioner Gordon" into the giant pile of things that may or may not happen in the final Batman movie. Thanks to Daniel for the tip and the great photo! Here's the latest piece of viral marketing. This time, it's a communique between Lucius Fox and Bruce Wayne. You can also check out the link for a transcript. [Comic Book Movie]The Amazing Spider-ManStar Andrew Garfield offers a great encapsulation of Peter Parker's journey towards truly being the superhero Spider-Man over the course of this movie: Advertisement I think what's cool about this movie, is that he discovers the power of what he's created; he doesn't create the symbol with any high-mindedness, he creates it so he can protect himself while he searches for his uncle's killer. He is a vigilante for part of this story, this particular story. I think it's true for any teenager who goes through any amount of tragic events, to have the impulse to kick out and rebel, to use their power in a way that they're not thinking responsibly or not thinking at all. That whole section is Peter running away from the pain, the guilt. he's putting it into something physical, and sweating it out.So there's a period where he's acting out these impulses, he accidentally discovers the symbol he's created that's bigger than him, that can be used for good. It's also important that he started with a heroic impulse, without any power to do anything with it.There's more at the link.

[Coming Soon]Star Trek 2Co-writer Roberto Orci has officially ruled out some potential villains — and, by extension, the identity of Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch's role — for J.J. Abrams's sequel. Neither Cumberbatch nor anyone else is playing the android Ruk, marooned human Charlie Evans, or ascended godlike being Gary Mitchell. Of these, only Gary Mitchell was even vaguely considered a serious possibility for the movie's villain. Of course, Orci didn't rule out Khan as a villain, which people are making a lot out of because, well, a lot of people would really like Khan to be the movie's villain. But then, Orci also didn't specifically say Benedict Cumberbatch wasn't playing Trelane, the Squire of Gothos, and nobody is reading that as indirect confirmation that Cumberbatch is playing Trelane, which is actually a vaguely awesome idea now that I think about it. Advertisement Orci also said Yeoman Janice Rand, who along with Nurse Chapel was probably tied for eighth most notable cast member on the original series, will not make an appearance, which eliminates the slight chance new cast addition Alice Eve was being brought in to play the part, which wasn't really a rumor anyway beyond the fact that Eve actually looks quite similar to Rand. And, finally, Orci says the Borg won't be showing up, which nobody was considering a real possibility — though I would argue that, if you're going to go the trouble of semi-rebooting the franchise and making this shiny new timeline, you might as well go all the way and give us Kirk vs. Borg in the third movie or something. I imagine there may not be unanimity on this point though. [Cinema Blend]Catching FireAlice in Wonderland star Mia Wasikowska has reportedly dropped out of contention for the part of Johanna Mason. That leaves model/actress Zoe Aggeliki as a contender, alongside the newly rumored addition of Sucker Punch star Jena Malone.

Slashfilm suggests that Nash might be up for the part of former Hunger Games victor Brutus. [EW via /Film]Avatar 2Sigourney Weaver reportedly revealed that James Cameron has plans to make Avatar 2, Avatar 3, and Avatar 4, all in fairly close proximity. Also, Weaver will potentially be in all of them, despite that whole "dying in the first movie" detail that Cameron long since decided wasn't particularly important. The story suggests Weaver is setting time aside to film the three sequels this fall more or less simultaneously, but I'm going to guess that may end up getting pushed back until, say, 2017. Really, James Cameron has enough money to move at whatever damn pace he wants. [Showbiz411]Guardians of the GalaxyMarvel Comics has reportedly filed a bunch of trademark applications for various tie-in products related to their cosmic comics property. The applications cover such things as jewelry and cosmetics — which may be the sorts of random items — along with other things covered by the applications such as "computer games, fabrics, foods, paper goods, entertainment and internet services, and even retail store services" — that would fall under the heading of tie-in products for a big motion picture. So, basically, there's a better than decent chance that Marvel Studios is close to going ahead with a Guardians of the Galaxy movie, something studio president Kevin Feige has been talking up some time as one the projects he most wants to pursue. [Bleeding Cool]Doctor WhoAccording to her CV, Call the Midwife actress Jessica Raine is set to appear in a season seven episode that is directed by Jamie Payne and at least provisionally entitled "Phantoms of the Hex."

That's the first episode new companion actress Jenna-Louise Coleman filmed, it's seemingly set in a haunted house, and indeed a previous rumor had suggested it was called "The Hider in the House." So either this is another episode Payne is directing — which is entirely possible — or this is another working name for the same episode. Certainly, a haunted house story could quite easily be called "Phantoms of the Hex", insofar as I can even work out what on earth that title means in the first place.

The Comprehensive Communities Program (CCP), a demonstration program run by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), was funded for only one year. It was a comprehensive, community-based crime control and prevention program that promoted the involvement of local and state governments, the private sector, and neighborhoods in addressing violent crime, drug abuse, and the quality of life in communities.
In 1994, BJA awarded CCP grants ranging from $1.5 million to $2.2 million to 16 jurisdictions. Subsequently, the COPS Office entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with BJA to fund the community policing component of CCP grants in 10 of the 16 sites. Each site received $1 million to increase the number of police officers on the beat, provide more effective community policing training, and encourage the development and implementation of innovative community policing programs and new technologies to promote crime-prevention activities.
The COPS Office's role in the program included coordinating community policing-related budget clearances with the Office of the Comptroller, conducting occasional site visits to examine community policing activities, participating in BJA-sponsored conferences bringing together site representatives, and attending monthly Comprehensive Communities Program-Technical Assistance (CCP-TA) Providers Consortium meetings. The COPS Office was also involved in planning a national conference in June 1998 for all CCP sites to evaluate the program and determine next steps. Conference participants included political leaders (mayors, city managers, and city council members) from the CCP sites, CCP coordinators, law enforcement executives, community leaders, and representatives from city agencies and service providers.
COPS funded sites in Phoenix, AZ; California East Bay Corridor Partnership; Washington, D.C.; Wichita, KS; Boston, MA; Omaha, NE; Columbia, SC; Ft. Worth, TX; and Seattle, WA.

Gustavo Dudamel is defined by his untiring advocacy of access to music for all. As a symphonic and operatic conductor, his music making on four continents continues to inspire audiences of all ages. Currently serving as Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Music Director of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela, the impact of his musical leadership is felt internationally. While his commitment to these posts accounts for the major portion of his yearly schedule, Dudamel also guest conducts with some of the world's greatest musical institutions, including the Vienna Philharmonic, which he returns to lead in Vienna and on tour. This season, opera features prominently in his schedule with an August performance of La Bohčme at Teatro alla Scala with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra, followed by a return to the Berlin State Opera for a new Marriage of Figaro production, and an April 2016 Vienna State Opera debut conducting a new production of Turandot.
Now entering his seventh season as Music & Artistic Director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Dudamel's contract has been extended through 2021-2022 season. Under his leadership the Los Angeles Philharmonic has expanded its diversified outreach through many projects, most notably Youth Orchestra Los Angeles (YOLA), influenced by Venezuela's widely successful El Sistema. With YOLA and additional educational expansion in Los Angeles, Gustavo brings music to children in the underserved communities of Los Angeles, and also serves as an inspiration for similar efforts throughout the United States, as well as for programs in Sweden (Hammarkullen) and Scotland (Raploch).
At the Los Angeles Philharmonic where he spends extensive periods in both the fall and spring, it is not only the breadth of the audience reached, but also the depth of the programming performed under Gustavo Dudamel that is remarkable. Programs at the Los Angeles Philharmonic continue to represent the best and the boldest, including numerous world premieres, commissions, and a spring tour to Europe, kicked off by two New York appearances at Lincoln Center. The 2015-16 Los Angeles Philharmonic season begins by once again uniting the LA Phil and the Bolívars, this time for a complete Beethoven cycle.
As Music Director, his 17th season, of the entire El Sistema project in Venezuela, he continues to lead the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in his native Venezuela, as well as on tour around the globe. In summer 2015, he brings the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra to La Scala performing La Bohčme for the World Expo, as well as several concerts in the famed Italian opera house. Later that season, he tours the Bolívars to London and then Europe. His work in Venezuela serves as the cornerstone of his work with young people, and he steadfastly commits some twenty-five weeks of his annual schedule to his work with the El Sistema orchestras and children, both in Caracas and around the country.
A Deutsche Grammophon artist since 2005, Grammy winner Gustavo Dudamel has numerous recordings on the label. Having written the score for the motion picture Libertador, the sound track was released in summer 2014; the monumental and highly celebrated work by John Adams, Gospel According to the Other Mary, commissioned and played by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, was released that spring. As part of a major Mahler recording project over the past few years, DG has released a Mahler 7 with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra in 2014, Mahler 9 with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Mahler 5 with the Bolívars, as well as Dudamel: Mahler 8 - Symphony of a Thousand Live from Caracas (DVD + Blu-Ray), featuring the combined forces of the LA Phil and the Bolívars. In 2013 there was an international release of an all-Strauss disc with the Berlin Philharmonic (CD), and in 2012 an LP of the Mendelssohn Symphony No. 3 with the Vienna Philharmonic. Recently, Dudamel has independently produced an all-Wagner recording with the Bolívars, exclusively for digital download. His latest DG recording, newly released in August, sees him conducting the Staatskapelle Berlin in the Brahms Piano Concertos, with Daniel Barenboim at the keyboard.
Many video/DVD releases capture the excitement of important live concerts in Gustavo Dudamel's musical life with the LA Phil, Bolívars, Berlin and Vienna Philharmonics. In June 2011, a documentary, Let the Children Play, featuring Dudamel, was shown in over 500 Fathom movie theaters nationwide. Gustavo Dudamel has been featured three times on CBS's 60 Minutes and appeared on a 2010 PBS special, Dudamel: Conducting a Life, with Tavis Smiley. He appeared on Sesame Street with Elmo in February 2012.
Gustavo Dudamel is one of the most decorated conductors of his generation. He received the 2014 Leonard Bernstein Lifetime Achievement Award for the Elevation of Music in Society from the Longy School, was named Musical America's 2013 Musician of the Year, one of the highest honors in the classical music industry, and was voted into the Gramophone Hall of Fame. In October of 2011, he was named Gramophone Artist of the Year, and in May of the same year, was inducted into the Royal Swedish Academy of Music in consideration of his "eminent merits in the musical art." The previous year, he received the Eugene McDermott Award in the Arts at MIT. Dudamel was inducted into l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres as a Chevalier in Paris in 2009, and received an honorary doctorate from the Universidad Centroccidental Lisandro Alvarado in his hometown of Barquisimeto. He also received an honorary doctorate from the University of Gothenburg in 2012. In 2008, the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra was awarded Spain's prestigious annual Prince of Asturias Award for the Arts and, along with his mentor José Antonio Abreu, Dudamel was given the "Q Prize" from Harvard University for extraordinary service to children.
Named one of Time Magazine's 100 most influential people in 2009, Gustavo Dudamel was born in 1981 in Barquisimeto, Venezuela. He began violin lessons as a child with José Luis Jiménez and Francisco Díaz at the Jacinto Lara Conservatory. He continued his violin studies with Rubén Cova and José Francisco del Castillo at the Latin American Academy of Violin. His conducting studies began in 1996 with Rodolfo Saglimbeni and, that same year, he was given his first conducting position, Music Director of the Amadeus Chamber Orchestra. In 1999, he was appointed Music Director of the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra and began conducting studies with the orchestra's founder, Dr. Abreu; a few years later, in 2004, Dudamel was brought to international attention by winning the inaugural Bamberger Symphoniker Gustav Mahler Competition. He then went on to become Music Director of the Gothenburg Symphony (2007-2012), where he currently holds the title Honorary Conductor. His early musical and mentoring experiences molded his commitment to music as an engine for social change – a lifelong passion.
Access to music for all has been the cornerstone of Gustavo's philosophy both professionally and philanthropically. He has now further expanded this commitment via The Gustavo Dudamel Foundation, the goal of which is to expand opportunities to experience music for as many children and communities as possible – the mission by which Gustavo Dudamel lives.

Loved the reveal with the horror movie-esque kind of music. Although i must say im kinda disappointed with obito's voice. Totally doesn't fit in with what i had imagined. Y didn't they just re use the original seiyu that did him in the kakashi gaiden episodes? That would have been apt.

Supporters of a higher minimum wage in Massachusetts hope to place the issue in front of voters next year. A group called Raise Up Massachusetts" held rallies around the state Wednesday, including one outside the Walmart in Hadley.The group backs a proposed ballot question to hike the minimum wage while also guaranteeing sick time for workers.
Walmart customer Judy Lora supports the proposal.
"It's just fair. Everybody gets sick, everybody has emergencies. You shouldn't have to be without pay if you're ill. So, I think it's a great thing and Walmart's probably a great place to do it, because a lot of people go in here and they haven't had the best reputation," Lora said.
A spokesperson for Walmart said its average hourly wage for full-time employees in Massachusetts tops $13 per hour. The state's minimum wage has been set at $8 per hour since 2008.
The National Federation of Independent Business said in a statement that an increase would end up hurting workers. The group said a minimum wage bill that was introduced in the legislature would cost the state 63,000 jobs over the next ten years.
John O'Neil , Sam Hudzik and the Associated Press contributed to this story.

The Sun Advocate's web page has been recognized by the newspaper's parent company and the Utah Press Association.
Headquartered in San Diego, Calif., Brehm Communications conducts an annual contest for the company's 51 newspapers.
When the judging process was completed, the Sun Advocate captured the top award for the overall best and organized website in the company.
"This was a totally unexpected award," commented Ken Larson, the newspaper's publisher.
Brehm Communications presented the company-wide web page award based on evaluations prepared by an Internet expert in Florida, Ron Stewart.
"I thought the Sun Advocate's designer put a lot of thought into a site that is consistent in its look and organization," said Stewart. "It has the elements I was looking for: consistent design, fresh news in the middle frame, feature buttons to the left and info items on the right. Each page had a similar look and was, therefore, easy to navigate. If neat and tidy were the designers goals, I suppose he made it happen."
In addition to garnering the company's top honor, Larson accepted UPA's award for the best newspaper web page in the state at the association's convention recently in St. George.
Designed and maintained by Jason Bailey, the Sun Advocate web page is a result of a lot of work as well as trial and error by the newspaper's staff. But Bailey set the site up in its current configuration. Bailey is also the webmaster for the Emery County Progress web page.
"I look at a lot of sites that are well-organized for ideas," explained Bailey. "Sometimes, I draw from other things I see that are out there, too. Anything that is well-organized is of interest to me."
The Ferron resident has been with the paper since August.
"After looking around I just kind of set up what I like," added the College of Eastern Utah freshman. "Then I get suggestions and input from everyone around me. That's how I think a good site is developed."

Trail of Painted Ponies
The Trail of Painted Ponies, like its predecessor, the Cow Parade, are beautiful, often humorous, replicas of the original public art displays. The original Trail of Painted Ponies consisted of life-sized ponies, painted and decorated by top artists from across the country. They were displayed in public places throughout New Mexico, after which they were auctioned off with most of the proceeds going to youth, arts, social, cultural, animal and environmental non-profit organizations.
Enesco has created these figurine replicas of the original Trail of Painted Ponies. The figurines are either resin or ceramic, and each is hand-numbered. The whimsical designs and beautiful craftsmanship make them an instant favorite for any collector or horse lover. Toni's Collectibles carries the full line of painted ponies, including special seasonal designs.

greetings everyone
I received my x201 a few weeks ago, and by and large I am pleased with it, except for the fact that at random times there will be a high pitch whine coming from the back left of the computer. I've done a fair bit of research on the problem, and I know it has to do with the power states of the processor (which is the core i7-620m on mine), and I have found no general solution to the problem. I found the only thing that stops this whine from occurring on my laptop is disabling the cpu power management in the BIOS and setting the cpu power level in the power manager to its lowest setting. This is really inconvenient as it kills the battery life and really restricts the capabilities of the processor. I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem on the x201, or if it is a problem lenovo can fix?
My advice would be to record the noise on a microphone and send it to Lenovo technical support they should be able to find some sort of solution they might even replace the mainboard.
If they decide to do this backup your important documents you might be without your laptop for a while if you don't have onsite warranty repair support.
Had same problem... called Lenovo Support and they worte me back, that the phenomen is normal and refered me to the folling websites:
Laptop is working as designed!!! I should check the following website:
and other forums
Morover, I update my BIOS
And TURN OFF all Powermanagement SETTINGS (- which will lead to a BATTERY Loss of 10%!!!, according to Lenovo)
Config-->Power-->CPU Power Management: Disbale
Config->Power->PCI Bus Power Management: Disable PCI Express Power
Config->Power->Management: Disable
All these instructions did not turned off the HIGH PITCH Noise, which is causing me head ache!
Paying almost 2000 US$ for a business notebook to produce myself headache is not really productive!!!
However Lenovo says - WORK AS DESIGNED!!!
Several of our new X201 users reported this whining. I could not hear it but my boss could. He eventually traced it to the larger 95W power brick. Try swapping that out. Only certain ones exhibited the behavior.
See thread 'X201 CPU Chirping Sound. Annoying!' started April 1, 2010:
I just (2010-12-05) posted my findings relating the problem to one of my power adapters.
12-08-2010 12:53 AM - edited 12-09-2010 03:18 PM
For the noise located in the upper left corner - Just look at the solution I found here (at the bottom of the page):
It turns out that in my case, the majority of whining was caused by Firefox!!! I applied the tweak described above and now there no whining when I'm using firefox! In my case it solves the problem because the most annoying thing for me was the whining when browsing late at night!
Check this out, maybe it may help you as well!
EDIT: unofrtunately, the whine is back... suppose there is no software fix for it, as its the hradware issue :-(
12-10-2010 08:13 AM - edited 12-10-2010 08:14 AM
Power adapter has NO problem.
My high pitch sound comes from the areas of WINDOWS and left ALT Key (English Keyboard).
Firefox Setting applied - NO changes...
Finally local Lenovo Account Manager will induce a change the CPU.
Lets see.
it seems that only a motherboard change may set us free from the whine.. unless the new motheboard would have the same issue (which is probable - I read a thread of Mac users - one of them had 3 different laptops in row and each one one them had the whine problem... He just gave up).
Next time I but thinkpad, I will listen to it carefully before paying...
my whine comes from where the left ALT AND X Key s located.
will CPU change not stop the whine?
frankly, I doubt it - it has something to do with coils on the motherboard - the CPU uses different ammounts of power in different power schemes and this makes the coils vibrate - thus emit the noise..
Is it really loud? I can get used to it - it is annoying, but to be honest once when I forget about it - I don't hear it anymore...
I wonder whether there are any laptops with SSDs and LED that do not produce any sound at all?

Great shoe
"I wish they had a black sole but can't find black soles anywhere. My kid loves these. But these are our 'nice' sneakers not our play ones. They're too nice to ruin. However, we wore out in wet grass and sand once and the got pretty dirty fast. I had to scrub with a shoe brush ASAP. They were ok after. Some of the pink material did stay stained."

Of course women are a ways away from having a WMLB. No one has argued against that here. We have stated on here many times before in other threads that in order to have a solid women's pro league, many other things need to happen first, including creating more girls' youth leagues, making baseball a sport for girls in high school, making baseball a varsity collegiate sport for women, and developing some sort of minor league system... perhaps with some of the women's amateur teams that exist now.
The person who started this thread asked if the reason there isn't a WMLB is because of the strength issue. The purpose of my post was to point out that that isn't the reason there isn't a WMLB, and I stated some of the main reasons why there isn't. I went on to say (supporting my statement that the strength issue isn't a reason for not having a WMLB) that there are plenty of women around the country who play on men's teams and in men's leagues who don't have any problem with doing so and being successful, and there are women's teams that could beat some men's teams because they are better fundamentally and mechanically and that the strength issue doesn't come into play all the time. I'm talking about amateur baseball here, not about collegiate baseball or minor league ball or MLB.
You stated something to the fact that saying that the women who can play against/amongst men and the women's teams that can beat men's teams are the cream of the crop for women and therefore, it isn't valid to say they can beat men. You stated it as if saying the best female players of today are pro players or something, and therefore it isn't fair to compare them to the average "Joe" who plays. Like I've already stated, 99.99% of us female players have never played high school baseball or collegiate baseball. Most of us play less than 15 games per summer, which I know is far less than what most men's leagues play.

The Ultimate Racing Truggy!
Following up the success of the D8 buggy, HB released the truggy version of the D8, the D8T! The D8T is a fully race-ready kit, able to take on the most rugged tracks around the world! From blue-groove to artificial turf, rutted clay to sloppy mud, the D8T is the ideal kit to take on the toughest competition!
With a range of features taken from the World Champion D8 buggy, the D8T truggy is perfectly suited for every driver on any race track. Designed to take advantage of its ideal weight distribution and race-winning features, you'll be able to take the fight to the track and get on the podium with the D8T!
The D8T starts with a brand new extended chassis machined from solid 4mm thick 7075 aluminium, with 10 degrees of front kick-up. The chassis plate has angled sides for extreme stiffness front-to-rear, giving you a solid platform for race tuning.
The longer chassis allowed HB lead off-road designer Josh Alton to move the engine nearly to the centre of the chassis, with the weight of the battery pack up front between the servos. Stand-up servo mounting points allow the weight of modern metal-gear servos to sit as close to the middle and front of the car as possible. With the receiver sealed away at the rear, the weight-forward design lets the D8T have better chassis balance than other truggy designs.
Strong composite chassis braces provide stiff bracing with minimal weight, while the chassis is machined for lightness under the servos and engine. The one-piece radio tray from the D8 is used in the D8T for easy clean-up and maintenance.
In addition to keeping the car pointed in the right direction, the suspension has to keep the tyres on the ground as much as possible, so the power from the engine is transformed into traction on the ground! This is the job that the D8T suspension must cope with, and we know it's up to the task. It's been refined over months of extreme testing in pure racing conditions, to make it the best possible performer on the track and help you get the winner's trophy!
16mm Big Bore shocks with threaded shock bodies are used to keep the tyres on the ground and you in control. These are connected to extra-long solid suspension arms to let you go right over bumps and ruts in the racing surface with the same already-legendary stability of the the World Champion D8 buggy!
The HB Inverse Steering Block Design and aligned king pin and universal joint pivots combine to give you total confidence on the track and a superb driving feel. A full range of suspension adjustments are possible with the total racing design: adjustable roll centre, thick turnbuckle links, sway bars, steel turnbuckles and HB's unique counter-rotating shock mount screws.
Getting the power from the engine to the tyres is yet another job that any good race truck must be able to perform properly. Getting as much power as possible with a minimum of loss or drag is just as important as keeping the tyres in contact with the ground, which the D8T suspension does with superb ease. The D8T features every detail you'd expect to see in a top-level competition truggy, and more!
The D8T uses extra heavy-duty spiral-cut 'worm gear' diffs to get the power from the driveshafts to the wheels. Six steel universal dogbones are used for the centre driveshafts and at each corner to get the power from the middle diff to front and rear diffs, and also from the diffs to the wheels. The dual fibre disc brakes can be adjusted separately front and rear using the unique linkage that brings the adjustment linkage of both brakes above the middle block deck.
The 150cc fuel tank is large enough to keep you running longer than the rest, so you don't have to stop for fuel as often. With a handy 'clunk' inside, the engine will continue running even when you're on your lid! A complete set of rubber-sealed ball bearings keeps everything spinning smoothly through the nastiest muck. 17mm hex adapters are used to allow any truggy wheels to fit, and new HB tall truggy wheels are included in the kit.
The fantastic, all-new racing body was designed specifically for the D8T. This is the lowest, sleekest and raciest truggy body we've ever seen, and we think you'll agree! The body extends all the way to the rear wing, giving it a look that emulates a full-size pick-up. Plenty of cooling air can get to engine, which is fully protected yet within the airflow that goes under the body. The body is supplied clear so you can apply your own racing colours, and is formed from extra tough polycarbonate plastic.
The D8T includes an all-new, super-low profile racing bodyshell with a unique look and style all its own! The body protects the engine head while allowing as much air as possible to flow to the high-downforce rear wing. You get fantastic design and great performance all in one package!
HB D8T Spec:
- Chassis length (bumper to rear of wing): 530mm
- Width: 405mm
- Wheelbase: 380.5 to 383.5
- Kit Weight (approximate, with electronics): 4.1kg (9 lbs)
#67800 Hot Bodies D8T Kit 1/8 Scale Nitro Competition Truggy with clear bodyshell - no engine, radio or tyres included

Well-meaning advocates for privacy worry that the Internet and how we share is making us dumber, crasser, distracted, and vulnerable to threats of all kinds. But Jeff Jarvis argues that the Internet and our new sense of publicness are, in fact, doing the opposite. Based on exclusive interviews with Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Google's Eric Schmidt, and Twitter's Evan Williams, Professor Jarvis introduces us to the new world of sharing.
Professor Jarvis explores the promising ways in which the Internet and publicness allow us to collaborate, think, and create--how we manufacture and market, buy and sell, organize and govern, teach and learn. What are the choices and the responsibilities?

Phil Kessel is about to get paid
Cam Charron
August 29 2013 11:03AM
via Chris Peters
The National Hockey League now caps contracts at eight years, and the change most fans will notice in the coming years is that this will mean a higher salary cap hit for most of the league's star players. In the last agreement, the long-term "back-diving" deals which are now outlawed saw players paid a pittance at the end of a deal because the salary cap hit simply averages out the salary paid out over the years of a contract.
A good example to use is Miikka Kiprusoff, who was paid $8.5M, $7.0M, $7.0M, $6.0M, $5.0, $1.5M over his long-term contract that expires next summer. However Kiprusoff retired at the end of this past season, so he won't play this season for $1.5M. In theory, his salary cap hit was $5.83M, the average of $35M spread over six years, but in practice his cap hit should have been $6.7M, since he was really paid out only $33.5M over five years.
Now, the NHL's years limit wouldn't affect the Kiprusoff example, but the NHL did tighten up the year-to-year variability rules. For a front-loaded deal, a player's salary can't drop by 35% of more year-to-year, nor can any one year of the deal be less than 50% of the maximum salary under the contract. The drop between Year 5 and Year 6 of the deal would have been illegal under the new collective bargaining agreement (Kipper's salary dipped by 70%), as would have been the Year 6 salary of the deal in general (with the maximum year being $8.5M, no yearly salary could be lower than $4.25M).
The original deals signed by players like Daniel Briere, Jeff Carter, and a host of others were designed to maximize the amount of dollars paid to a player in his prime years while keeping his salary cap hit artificially low. Carter's $5.3M salary cap hit would be $1M higher if his contract were cut off at eight years, since years nine, ten and 11 of the deal, he's making just $7M combined for those seasons. To combat this, the NHL is simply going to do their best to make teams actually pay for their teams' best players, and that's going to become a lot more noticeable in the coming years.
It's easy to look Evgeni Malkin and assume that he's making more than Crosby with his $9.5M hit to Crosby's $8.7M, but that's just an effect of the collective agreement. Crosby's cap hit would be worth $10.8M if he were cut off at eight years. Be wary of comparing salary cap hits from contracts signed post-January 2013 with those signed between August 2005 and September 2012.
So what does this mean
I was listening to James Mirtle's segment on TSN radio this morning with friends of Leafs Nation Macko and Cauz. One of the focus points of the segment was the looming UFA contract for Leafs superstar Phil Kessel, and Mirtle suggested that Kessel would sign a deal coming in around $8-million a year. During the segment the hosts got a text message from a fan that suggested "$8-million for Kessel? LOLOLOLOL."
Kessel had a "one-on-one interview" on Sportsnet at his golf tournament yesterday. He's a shy guy and doesn't say a lot in front of the cameras and he wasn't giving anything away, but the takeaway is that he would like to have an extension done before the season starts. That's preferable for the Leafs, since if Kessel goes off the way he did in the second half and the playoffs last season a second-consecutive campaign, his value will be way higher going into unrestricted free agency and he'd be tougher to re-sign.
I've looked at this previously as to what Kessel will be worth in the coming years, and it's clear that players lose scoring touch past the age of 27, including elite goal scorers. Kessel will shortly be starting his 26-year-old season, and Gabe Desjardins has shown in the past that that's about where players begin to lose some offensive production. Kessel quite possibly had his career year—his first time ever being above a point-a-game—in a shortened season.
It's worth noting that since 2009, when Kessel joined the Leafs, he's 7th among all NHLers in goal-scoring with 119 goals. Obviously it's helped that he's played the last four years in his prime years, but he still has more goals and points over the span as John Tavares, Bobby Ryan and Jonathan Toews. It's clear that Kessel is an elite offensive performer and that's generally what NHL general managers pay for, so it's not ridiculous to think that Kessel could cash in next summer with a ludicrously high pay day.
Because the forecasts suggest that players will drop off in scoring in their late 20s, if I'm running the Leafs, I give Kessel a shorter-term contract, but at a much higher salary range. The five highest years on Corey Perry's recent deal are worth $10M, $10M, $9M, $9M and $9M. That's a $9.4M salary cap hit, which seems reasonable to me. If you wanted to go longer, you slightly dip Kessel's salary in Years 6, 7 and 8 of the deal down to $5M, which would be the minimum salary allowed for such a contract. That brings a salary cap hit of $8.25M, which also seems reasonable.
For Mirtle, it's a case of the Leafs having to ask themselves "do we want this guy or not?" I'd be more wary about an eight-year deal that will expire when Kessel is in his mid-30s, but it's quite clear that the guy is going to get paid, and you'd rather him get paid with Toronto than anywhere else.
If the Leafs do want Kessel, then there should be something happening soon, and the salary cap hit may surprise some people. This post is really designed to ease the shock. In exchange for the long-term security, players gave up salary, but since the teams can't offer security past eight years (seven for unrestricted free agents on other teams) then it becomes a matter of how many dollars a team is willing to offer.
Contract info via the indispensible Capgeek , of course.
If Kessel signs for about 6 to 7M range, then the tandem of Bozak/Kessel is attractive at 10 to 11M even given all the faults. Otherwise, at 12M plus that tandem is not as appealing.
August 30 2013, 06:44AM
This is a smart proposal. No question he's going to be in the 8m range. Shortening the term but upping the burden would reflect an appropriate cost:goal ratio and give the Leafs an out after 5 years. To me, there's no question the Leafs should sign Kessel, though I like your proposal more than the longer term commitment. And better to do it sooner than later. Then deal with Phaneuf, depending on how the defense crew develops. But the priority should be Kessel.
Just imagine how much it would cost to sign Kessel for another 5 years if he didn't have Bozak dragging his numbers down.
That's the plan, right? Get Kessel signed then bring in a 1C?
August 30 2013, 06:53PM
I'd give Kessel all the tea in China if it were up to me.

The Newsweek- Daily Beast Merger Is Off
After much flirting, the rumored merger of Newsweek and The Daily Beast has reportedly been called off due to disagreements over who would control what. The truth is, nobody could figure out how the fuck it would have worked.
Yes, it was an intriguing idea. It would have maybe given Barry Diller some sort of light at the end of his bleak financial tunnel funding The Daily Beast; it would have maybe given Sidney Harman a genuine fresh new direction for his beleaguered new property; and it would have given Tina Brown a new paper toy to play with. But figuring out exactly how a combination of those two properties would have worked—who gets laid off? Who gets hired? Who goes where? Who writes what? Where's the benefit? Who calls all the shots?—was a parlor game that stumped most media types who think about these things. And, according to Russell Adams, proved too hard for the parties involved to figure out as well.
Now Howie Kurtz is actually stuck writing for the internet. Sorry dude.
Update: Tina Brown's statement is here.

Was the Norway Shooter Part of an International Anti-Muslim Terrorist Group?
Did Anders Breivik, the Norway massacre suspect, act alone? In court today he claimed that he was aided by an extremist organization with two cells still at large. He previously ranted about founding an militant anti-Islam group called the Knights Templar.
Breivik confessed to both the bombing in Oslo and the shooting massacre on the island of Utoya, which together are believed to have killed 76 people. But he pleaded not guilty today, because he "believes that he needed to carry out these acts to save Norway."
Also, today, Breivik hinted that he was acting on behalf of an organization which is still at large: "there are two more cells in our organisation" which would continue his work, Breivik told the court.
It seems the organization he's referring to is a weird, medieval-themed racism club called the Knights Templar, which he claims to have founded in London. In his 1,5000 page manifesto, he describes a 2002 London meeting where he and some buddies re-founded the Knights Templar, a 900-year-old group of crusaders now best-known as fodder for The Da Vinci Code:
Pauperes commilitones Christi Templique Solomonici – PCCTS (the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ and of the Temple of Solomon), the Knights Templar was re-founded in London in 2002 by representatives from eight European countries, for the purpose of serving the interests of the free indigenous peoples of Europe and to fight against the ongoing European Jihad (referred to as the "third Jihad"). The Knights Templar was re-founded as a pan-European nationalist military order and a military/criminal tribunal with two primary objectives. The order is to serve as an armed Indigenous Rights Organisation and as a Crusader Movement (anti-Jihad movement).
The Manifesto included a list of founding members: 12 anonymous individuals from a host of European countries. Judging from his admiration of al Qaeda—he lauded its "superior structural adaptation" in his manifesto—the Knights Templar may have been modeled explicitly after its enemy.
So, is there some international network of Christian extremists that fancies themselves modern-day crusaders? This could all be some fever-dream cooked up by Breivik—his claims to be associated with the far-right English Defense League appear to be exaggerated, for instance. But the spectre of Muslim and anti-Muslim terrorist groups duking it out with dueling attacks is, well, terrifying.

Collaboration was key at WantedDesign 2014, which took place this year from May 16 to May 19 in New York as a satellite event of the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. In its fourth iteration, this year's WantedDesign showcased the work of 75 designers, emerging and established, for an audience of more than 10,000 visitors. A number of those designers, particularly new talent, teamed up to share resources and creative inspiration. We're profiling the work of three of those collectives. Read on to meet "Nasz," an exhibition of Polish design, and then check out the collaborations from designers in Chicago and Seattle.
Poland made its first appearance at WantedDesign this year, with "Nasz," an exhibition of designs curated by Tomek and Gosia Rygalik of Styudio Rygalik and sponsored by Culture.pl, a Web-based resource for Polish culture that is hosted by the national Adam Mickiewicz Institute. Tomek and Rygalik brought together products that had a coherent, quiet presence, displaying the resourcefulness and timelessness of the country's designers. Though the collection of seating, storage, lighting, tables, and tabletop products was modest, it wasn't without whimsy—four white chairs hung askew from the ceiling while a moveable wooden dinosaur dangled its tail off of a round, white table.
Double-Thread Tapestry, Jakub Jezierski
So accustomed are we to wall tapestries depicting pastoral settings that Jakub Jezierski's 110-cm-by-213-cm Double-Thread Tapestry will catch you off guard. No need to squint to see what he calls "a metropolitan apocalypse": dragons breathing fire on buildings, cars burning, soldiers marching, and police spraying citizens. The artist who co-founded the Association of Polish Graphic Designers worked with folklore artist Malgorzata Peplowska to create the ominous design. "In the center of the composition is the Temple of Divine Providence: the biggest modern church that arouses various emotions in people," Jezierski says. "Who is behind it? Who are they? Which side are they on?" Only the end of time will tell.
H2 Tables, Piotr Kuchcinski for Balma
For "Nasz," Polish furniture manufacturer Balma reissued its H2 Tables with new oak elements instead of steel. Created as conference-room piece, its base is inspired by the art of paper folding and appears to have been cut entirely out of sheet metal and bent in the corners at its square base. "The entire construction lost its initial character after changing the material," the company writes in a press release, "from a delicate and linear structure to a more architectural one resembling a timber roof truss."
Gloria Dot, Marek Cecula
When it comes to fine china, gold designs are generally what signal to buyers and users that the pieces are classic, timeless, and of value. Ceramicist Marek Cecula wanted to create a new paradigm with his Gloria Dot pattern, which features black polka dots in place of any gold decoration on the Poland Porcelain Factory Chodziez's china. "Gloria Dot is an attempt to re-position classical material from the past into contemporary language with minimum intervention," he says. Though Cecula was born in Poland and now lives in London, he's made stops all over the globe—including establishing Modus Design Studio in New York, being the visiting professor at the National Academy of the Arts in Bergen, Norway, and now teaching as a visiting professor at the Royal College of Art, London.
King Lizard, Antoni Bielawski
The King Lizard is a wooden toy for "people aged 7 to 105," says its designer, Antoni Bielawski. Inspired by Polish wooden folk toys, the lizard's movable wood oak parts are connected by rubber. "The toy is nice to the touch and its mobility makes it so attractive you will want to hold it in your hands and animate it," he explains. Bielawski is a student at the Faculty of Industrial Design at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw.
This article has been updated with a correct image for Balma's H2 table.

SNAP Remains a Safety Net for Veterans and Families in Need
Cross posted from the disability.gov blog:
Today, I was thinking about the last entry I wrote for Disability.gov's blog just about a year ago and considering our accomplishments in 2012 and the opportunities that are ahead for 2013.
The need for food assistance remained high in 2012, with an average of 47 million people participating in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) every month. Program participation increased in response to natural disasters, such as Hurricane Isaac in Louisiana and Hurricane Sandy in the New England states. However, overall the program grew at a slower rate and even flattened toward the end of the year. SNAP continues to be the cornerstone of the national hunger safety net by helping those in need put healthy food on the table. Read more »
