History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.
Bishop Hill State Historic Site
Four historically significant buildings are owned by the State of Illinois and are maintained as part of the Bishop Hill State Historic Site. These architectural treasures are the two-story Colony Church (1850), the three-story Colony Hotel (1852-ca. 1860), the Boys Dormitory (ca. 1850), and the Colony Barn (mid-1850s) that has been relocated behind the Hotel. In addition, the central village park contains a reconstructed gazebo and war monuments. On the south edge of the village, stands a new brick Museum to house a comprehensive collection of paintings by colonist and self-taught artist, Olof Krans (1838-1916).

CITY:Bishop Hill
Three sisters, Sadie, Lillian, and Goldie Cohen, expressed a wish that the 400-acres of farmland located adjacent to the city of Chillicothe, IL be dedicated as park land and a model farm for educational, recreational, and conservational purposes. While the Cohen sisters lived just off Moss Avenue in Peoria, they loved their family farm. Their vision was for the property to remain agriculturally related. The master plan envisions the creation of a living history farm, a central activity building, large festival areas, a welcome center, restaurant, agricultural equipment museum activity area, and outdoor natural amphitheater. The open fields and forested areas offer unique space for special events, concerts and festivals.

Bureau County Historical Museum
The Bureau County Historical Society Museum is located behind the Courthouse square at the intersection of beautiful Park Avenue West and Pleasant Street in Princeton, Illinois. The museum consists of two buildings that are next door to each other: the Clark-Norris Home, a handsome Prairie Square mansion built in 1900, and the Newell-Bryant House, a stately Greek Revival house dating back to 1853. The Museum is behind the Courthouse. There is free parking on Park Avenue in front of the Museum.
The Princeville Heritage Museum opened to the public in 1999. The museum is a part of the Historical Association of Princeville (incorporated in 1987). The 15,000 square foot handicap accessible facility features antique agriculture equipment, steam powered tractors and threshers, area artifacts, a genealogy research area, and much more.

Comments: Used a full bed of this in my IG Prestige MP at 52 lbs and loved it. Nice pop on serves and volleys, good
spin and control with groundstrokes and arm-friendly. Wish it was still on sale!
From: Dalton, 7/14
Comments: Great string. I am currently testing a bunch of polys and as soon as I hit with this one it shot to the top
of my list. It offers the best ball pocketing I have seen from a poly, lots of spin, ample power, and better than average feel. I have
it strung at 52 lbs. So far have played about 10 hours with it and it is still lively.
From: Michael, 7/14
Comments: Really good string. I have played with a number of strings and while this is not the softest poly, it has a
nice cushion to it while being firm. The access to power and control is very nice. I haven't gotten used to the feel yet, but it is
just need to zero in on it for the drop shots. People are correct when comparing it to RPM Blast. For reference, I've played with
following strings and would place the iO 17 as one of the top 2 or 3: BHBR7, Black Widow 17, Sonic Pro Edge 16, RPM Blast/Team
and 17, Beast 16, etc.
From: Mike, 7/13
Comments: Awesome string! It is a soft, arm friendly version of RPM blast. Nice access to spin, very responsive. My
new string of choice!

Five Critical Questions Concerning the John Tortorella Hire
Thomas Drance
June 21 2013 01:42PM
John Tortorella is a pretty unique figure in the professional hockey industry. A taskmaster in an age of coddled multimillionaire professional athletes, and a guy with no time for the media in an age where information travels quickly, and where personal relationships shape coverage (arguably to an undue extent).
With the news breaking on Friday that the Canucks are reportedly close to hiring John Tortorella as their new head coach, there's five big questions that we have about the Tortorella hire. Read on past the jump.
1. How Will Tortorella's Tough Motivational Style Play with a Veteran Club?
Over the past month we've seen several Canucks players go on the record and pour cold water on the notion that this team needs a hard-ass, in the mold of a John Tortorella, to light a fire under their collective asses. Kevin Bieksa, for example:
Bieksa on coach search: "I don't think we need somebody to come in and crack the whip. We can work together toward a common goal." #canucks— Ben Kuzma (@benkuzma) May 23, 2013
Also Dale Weise, who started his career in the New York Rangers system, shared a similar sentiment - albeit it one couched in praise for John Tortorella - in a conversation with Jim Jamieson:
"He did a wonderful job when he came into New York. They had a good team, but they didn't get the extra push from the coach for whatever reason. He came in and changed the culture there. He demands a lot from players. I think you can kind of look around and see that his style is kind of fading out of the coaching. There's a way to be hard on guys and to push guys, but I think nowadays you've got to be a little more of a communicator. You can't just put guys in the dirt and expect guys to get out of there themselves."
For some fans, who overreact to things like "the Canucks do yoga after losses," these sorts of statements only cement their deep belief that the Canucks "country club" atmosphere was in need of a shakeup. Those same fans are convinced, based on a few selectively edited episodes of 24/7, that Tortorella is the best man for the job.
That's one side of the coin. But the other is that Tortorella can alienate his charges - just ask Henrik Lundqvist.
CanucksArmy writer Jeff Angus shared on Twitter on Friday that he'd heard from his usually reliable sources (you might remember that Angus was way out ahead of the Malhotra "don't call it a comeback" story in 2011, and on the Schneider > Luongo story in 2012) that the Sedins were pushing for Tortorella to be hired:
#Canucks core players have been involved in coaching process. From what I have heard, Sedins, in particular, were pushing for Tortorella.— Jeff Angus (@anguscertified) June 21, 2013
That'll come as a surprise, I'm sure, to those who haven't followed the twins very closely over the past decade. Contrary to the reputation they've inherited from lazy, and or xenophobic hockey fans and commentators over the years, the twins are tough players and they want to win. If they thought the team needed a more passionate, challenging head coach, it's certainly not hard to fathom them pushing for the team to hire Tortorella (or a guy like him).
The Sedins after all, will be unrestricted free-agents next summer. So if Angus's sources have this right and the Sedins are fully behind bringing in Tortorella, that would certainly help eliminate some of the "risk" inherent in this particular hire.
2. Did Ownership Drive the Bus on Hiring Tortorella?
There's a plethora of reliable Vancouver media folks who are very publicly asking this question on Twitter today:
Given Gillis' stated desire for offence and integration of young players, have to wonder if he or Aquilini is hiring Tortorella.— Iain MacIntyre (@imacVanSun) June 21, 2013
This hire has Aquilini written all over it....#Canucks— Brad Ziemer (@BradZiemer) June 21, 2013
MG wants up temp style and Torts is the guy?. Doesn't make much sense. Wonder how much weight ownership has in the decision. #Canucks— Dan Murphy (@sportsnetmurph) June 21, 2013
In an ideal world you'd rather not deal with ownership interfering with hockey operations, obviously, but that the Aquilini's are "hands on" with the Canucks is nothing new. There's been a lot of scuttlebutt over the years, for example, that ownership was the driving force behind the Roberto Luongo contract. And that worked out just swimmingly for all involved.
If Canucks ownership is deeply involved in hockey decisions of this magnitude, that should probably be some cause for concern for Canucks fans going forward. Then again, if Mike Gillis was adamant that Tortorella was the wrong fit in Vancouver, I doubt ownership would overrule their President and General Manager...
3. Will John Tortorella make the Sedin twins block shots?
When the situation calls for it, sure, but I very much doubt that John Tortorella would use the same systems in Vancouver that he used in New York.
John Tortorella is many things - bad at dealing with the media, rough around the edges, not particularly good at controlling his temper - but he's not an idiot. In Tampa Bay, John Tortorella's teams played a totally different brand of hockey than his teams in New York did. Tortorella will adjust his game plan based on the strengths and weaknesses of his roster (and his opponent's roster) because that's what head coaches do.
Moreover, John Tortorella's deployment patterns actually tend to match Alain Vigneault's rather closely. Here's a player usage chart for Rangers forwards who played more than twenty games last season, and here's one for the Canucks (courtesy somekindofninja.com). They're eerily similar, with the major difference being that Tortorella had more forward depth at his disposal last season than Vigneault did in Vnacouver, so his primary offensive unit was able to deal with modestly softer matchups.
In terms of zone-starts and in terms of specialization, Tortorella's Rangers zone matched two lines (one in the offensive end and one in the defensive end) and then used two lines in a more standard "two-way fashion" last season. That pretty closely echoes Alain Vigneault's modus operandi over the last three seasons.
Despite a glaring lack of forward depth, Tortorella will have a good deal to work with in Vancouver and It'll be fascinating to see what style of hockey a Tortorella coached Canucks team will play. I'd imagine Tortorella will play to the club's strengths which includes generously utilizing the club's plethora of offensively gifted blue-liners, and emphasizing puck possession whenever the twins are on the ice. Or in other words, I'd expect a Tortorella coached Canucks team to have a somewhat different identity than what we saw from his teams in Tampa Bay and New York...
4. Can John Tortorella handle the Vancouver sports media professionally?
John Tortorella has a reputation as a snide, unhelpful bully in his interactions with the media. It's a reputation that's hard-earned, frankly, though I've never covered Tortorella personally (I'm sure that'll change next season).
My preferred type of sports coverage comes from writers who don't need to lean too heavily on quotes from players and coaches anyway. I like it when sports writers know enough about the game they're covering that they can figure some of that stuff out on their own. But it's key for a coach in a passionate marketplace to be communicative with his club's paying customers. Most often that communication takes place through the intermediary of the media.
So yeah, Tortorella is going to have to reign it in, at least somewhat.
5. Can the Vancouver sports media handle John Tortorella professionally?
My least favorite type of sports coverage, by the way, involves writers unnecessarily inserting themselves into a story. I hate that. The worst example I can think of off the top of my head is when Don Brennan wrote an entire column about his penis. Just embarrassing.
Will there be competition between some in the Vancouver hockey media to earn the title of "Vancouver Larry Brooks"? I'd be very surprised if there weren't. Will that competition be distracting, unbecoming and ultimately pointless? Yep.
If the Canucks exceed expectations, John Tortorella will be praised for "changing the culture" of the Canucks' "country club atmosphere".
If the Canucks perform below expectations, John Tortorella will be blamed for being too "old school" and for creating "media distractions".
The pre-determined narrative will live on.
June 21 2013, 02:49PM
I am 85yrs old a former season subscriber at Rangers. John Tortorella was the first Ranger coach I dispiesd I wonder who his Vacouver Sean Avery will be I pity the poor guy. I don't think Torts has cahnged one bit and will no change
And isn't that what hockey's all about?!
As a Ranger fan, I can say that it became difficult to separate fact from fiction as Tortorella's tenure progressed. He arrived after Sather had 9 years of no success with the mercenary approach to constructing a roster. Under Torts, the organization developed a core from within. Immediately Staal and Girardi were given more responsibility. Players like Callahan, Dubinsky, Korpikoski, Anisimov, Stepan, McDonagh, Del Zotto and Hagelin were given opportunities to establish themsleves. (Jim Schoenfeld and Gord Clarke's contribution not be overlooked,it was a team effort.) There was committed hard-working team that made the mistake of over achieving in 2012 playoffs. Trading for Nash and being made the favorite changed the expectations and the long-term plan was history. Lots of roster turnover and the result was an imbalanced roster with only two real centers, one of who (Richards) was awful all season long. The local writers were always primed to trash Torts, given his winning personality, and there were elements of the fan base who never forgave Torts for getting rid of Avery and who blamed the coach for not matching the money the Habs overpaid to Prust. Despite all this, after the deadline the roster was more balanced and without Staal and Clowe, the NYR finished the season 10-3-1, then beat the hottest team in the league in the first round without and they certainly did better against the Bruins than the Penguins did. The players never quit on the coach. But Sather knows best. The decision to fire Torts was totally his, imo. With the exception of maybe one or two guys, I don't think there was any kind of player rebellion (a story peddled by one local writer in particular, who Tortorella had belittled on a regular basis. Plus Sather himself wouldn't commit to that scenario. Basically it came down to Sather wanting a change and the media more than happy to demonize the coach on his way out of town. The Rangers have won three playoff series in the last two seasons. In the prior decade since Slats rolled into town they only won two.
This! All the negative publicity about Torts has come from the sports media (and their sycophants, like Doug McLean). Most of the so-called sports journalists (including most in the mainstream media in Vancouver!), actually no very little about the game of hockey. All they no about is looking for a "story". So when you see journos criticizing Torts for his "defensive" style, take it with the proverbial pinch!
All good coaches will be fairly adept at instigating the best system that they think will optimize their team's chance of winning. It obviously depends on the roster they have on hand. A successful coach at the NHL level is, by definition, one of the best in their profession. Until we see just what Torts is able to do with this team come September, let's not be dupes for our poor bemoaning local media, and, instead, wait and see how he actually manages!
1- Torts is gonna find out how Keenan felt coming into a country club left to him by the coach and GM. Bieksa statement says it all. If Bieksa knows what should be done with the club, why doesnt he retire and go into coaching, the last time I checked, he and his team could not get it done against Boston , so it's safe to say that Bieksa should stick to his expertise, which is inconsistent hockey.
2- You be the ownership had a big say if not the go ahead on Torts hiring. If I owned a club and saw how bad it's been tanked in the gutter by Gillis, I'd make all the big decisions from there on and keep Gillis just a tool for the dirty day to day work before I sack him later.
3- the Sedins better be blocking shots. They already dont kill penalties, hit, fight, shoot outs, they don't want to play on a different team, and they obviously dont show up in the post season. Can we baby the Sedins even more? The C should stand for Captain, not Comfort.
4- You bet Torts will explode sooner or later, the blind media here deserve it.
5- The Van sports media have no clue about winning a championship. They, like many of the fans, are more interested in a pretty loss than an ugly win. I would have prefered Scotty Bowman, but than again, he probably wouldnt want to come here and the Canucks motto for the ages has always been to not hire winners.
Well, Boston won the cup with Marchand, so there's some merit in having that kind of player. Don't forget that Avery was one sick puppy, a troubled and disturbed human being who's troubles spilled outside of the rink and into his disturbed life. Avery should thank Torts for giving him ice time, otherwise, it wouldn't surprise me to someday hear on the news about Avery running around the streets strip naked and shooting at passing cars. That ( Avery )guy was a defective leaky meat pie waiting to explode in the oven.
That clip is gold. This website is gold.
Torts had his hand forced this season as the team changed markedly from the one that had gone to the conference finals. Most of the toughness was gone with Prust, Dubinsky, John Mitchell, Fedetenko and Rupp all leaving and only the disinterested Asham arriving. Plus Dubinsky, Feds, Mitchell, Anisimov, and occasionally Boyle gave a lot of depth and versatility to the third and fourth lines. Was still mostly a three line coach, but this past season it was basically a case where there were only enough quality forwards to have 2 lines. I guess the plan was for Nash-Richards-Gaborik was supposed to be so elite that they'd carry the team. I know he's a national hero and all up there, but Richards was awful this season. If anything he should have been benched earlier but there was no alternative on the roster. Trying to make do with two of Brian Boyle, Darrell Powe or Jeff Halpern to center the third and fourth lines was not a formula for success. Those three combined for 102 GP and 2 goals, both by Boyle. Torts was involved in personnel somewhat, so he can share the responsibility for the roster, but is the only one who gets held accountable. Removing Torts personality from the mix, it was actually a fine job of coaching to get the team as far as it went. But it was a no-win situation for Torts - he played the way that gave the team the best chance of winning, and that was some ugly hockey. If he opened it up NYR never would have made the playoffs, and if the Rangers were out of the playoffs and the Icelanders were in, he definitely would have gotten the boot. If he does get the job in Vancouver, I don't think you will see him try and recreate what he was doing with the Rangers, just like he didn't try to recreate in NY the "Safe is Death" system he had with the Lightening. Torts is no dummy, he will adapt to what he has to work with. Whether he gets a fair shake with the media up there is an unknown, as both sides would need to approach it with a clean slate. Can Torts button it? I don't know. One of the more veteran writers here spoke to him about the way Tom Coughlin changed in his dealings with the media, and although he felt Torts understood intellectually the wisdom of softening his approach, it wasn't a sure thing that he was capable of changing. He definitely dialed it back this season but it seemed that once or twice a month Torts was unable to help himself when asked some inane question. At any rate, he did a great job in a difficult situation and really deserved another season. I think he'll do just fine in Vancouver, probably better than AV will in NY. The only question with Torts is how long it will last.
Good stuff! Clearly, the guy who should have gotten the boot in NY (long ago) was Sather! He has so often fallen for the big name guys without thinking of team balance. I think Torts (if he makes it) will possibly do better in Vancouver, especially because the top guys are all hard workers, and will give him a chance.
"Clearly, the guy who should have gotten the boot in NY (long ago) was Sather!"
Understatement of the decade. Other than Lou Lam, who has actually won a few cups since the Internet was invented, what GM gets to hire six coaches without producing squat? Tortorella was clearly the best of the bunch, and what did he get for his efforts? A nice shove in the back at the first sign of trouble. Just the latest in the countless foibles of our resident genius. The height of the stupidity was Sather the GM firing Sather the coach and our local scribes seeing it as some sort of unprecedented move of sports management brilliance. Our owner is a know-nothing dilettante and will never get beyond Sather's rasputin-like hold over him. It's really a sick joke on Ranger fans. Really hope we don't lose Jeff Gorton while we wait for Slats to fade off into the sunset. Anyway, here are some select soundbites from the Sather era:
''I still believe you can't buy a winner." - Glen Sather, 6/1/2000
"I didn't want to be the lowest-paid coach in the league anymore." - Ron Low, 6/12/2000
''It felt like I was talking to myself.'' - Glen Sather on Bryan Trottier's 90-page essay, 6/2/2002
''We're making the playoffs, I don't know how much more I can guarantee it than by doing this myself.'' - Glen Sather on hiring himself as coach, 1/30/2003
''And I'm guaranteeing it, too,'' Jim Dolan on Sather's playoff prediction, 1/30/2003
''I like being around the guys. They work hard, just not all the time." - Glen Sather, 2/25/2004
''We sort of gambled." Glen Sather on drafting Al Montoya 6th overall, 6/26/2004
"It's pretty exciting. We ranked them both as number ones, and we never expected to get both of them." Glen Sather on spending over $86 million on Chris Drury and Scott Gomez, July 1, 2007
"He's somebody that we had targeted immediately. He was our No. 1 guy on defence. We're quite happy we've got him," Glen Sather on Wade Redden, July 2008.
"When you sign anybody as a free agent, I've come to expect a little bit of relaxation." - Glen Sather, 6/27/2009

Brian Burke Cares
Pension Plan Puppets
April 10 2012 11:26PM
Among the many stupid questions (and the odd good one) that mittenstringers asked at the season ending feeding frenzy were a number that questioned how Brian Burke felt about this season. 'Obviously' his anger was manufactured and he couldn't possibly care that much. Reading his answers to questions hardly do them justice as it's impossible to see the evident frustration and anger with which he spoke to the media.
A full transcript is available here but this one stood out when I was watching:
This is four years in a row you've sat here and talked about the disappointment of not making the playoffs, do you have to make the playoffs next year?
I want to make the playoffs every season. I haven't slept in a month, a few months, I can assure you the GM is far more disappointed, whether we have to make the playoffs, that's ownership's right and prerogative, and you can ask someone in ownership
Greg Brady of the Fan590 didn't appreciate the insinuation that Burke might have been more disappointed than fans at the outcome this year. However, I don't know how you can square the downplaying of Burke's feelings with what we know about his competitive personality. The picture tells the entire story. There he is looking absolutely gutted to be on this stage with four other stooges that are pleased as punch to have been such abject failures that they need to take advantage of the NHL's equivalent of food stamps.
Say what you will about Brian Burke - and I'll be saying a lot over the next few months - but the man cares. The poor bastard might care so much that it hinders his ability to do the job.
April 10 2012, 11:31PM
Credit to Burke, he was the only one who looked pissed off that he had to go to that farce.
April 11 2012, 09:13AM
At this time I would like to offer my sincere apology to you the #1 Leaf Nation Fans for the lack luster performance by our hockey organization the Toronto Maple Leafs this season. I realize that the Toronto Maple Leafs have not made the playoffs for 8 years now and have not been in the Stanley Cup Finals since 1967 but I want to ensure that if you keep supporting our organization for another 20 years we will make the playoffs, we are currently in a rebuilding stage that will take another 10 years before we are a competitive team fighting for the 8'th playoff spot.
Please keep supporting our organization and paying $300 per ticket for the next 20 years watching us lose over and over again.
Your loyalty is important to us and we are proud that you like our losing team and we hope you are patient enough because "There is always next year"
Brian Burke
P.S. We will be planning a Stanley Cup parade next season after we win the first 5 games of the season.

Per-fold cross validation accuracy, AUC, etc.
Is there any way with the built in cross validation functions to get the CA, AUC, etc. for each fold? Thanks!
No, but there is a very simple trick that you can use. Use MakeRandomIndicesCV to get fold index for each of the data instances. In the loop, sample the data to test and train subsets (according to cross-validation), use learnAndTestOnTestData from orngTest and then use any performance measure from orngStat that you need.

Candy Memories
Ah, pixy stix in the summer! I always bought them at the swimming pool because you could really enjoy your stix, get the sugary fun all on your hands & face & then jump in to "clean yourself off". To this day, the smell of chlorine, suntan lotion & pixy stix take me back to being 7 years old again. Grape flavor was my personal favorite & the GIANT pixy stix were the treat to have. It was all that length of sweet & tart candy in a plastic straw that didn't get squishy since most times my hands were wet from swimming. And besides, you could use the empty straw to keep little brother in line! Jana from Oklahoma

Nah, it still matters where you hit them, it clearly leaves more damage at the area that is impacted (hence the spiral-shaped wounds). While it's obviously not nearly as pinpoint in its damage as Chidori, it still makes a difference if you aim for a lethal location or not. Naruto, Jiraiya, Minato, Konohamaru... all of them always go for a non-vital spot, every single time. That's just the way the attack works in the manga, but realistically if they hit someone in the face with a Rasengan it'd be a 1-hit kill. You can't just ignore the fact that Rasengan always hits someone in the gut and sends them flying, purely because that's how Kishi chooses to draw the attack/demonstrate the damage.
I don't even question it anymore, I just accept the fact that we'll always see the attack misused. It's like how Kenshin's final move was always a swipe across the torso, and never aimed at someone's face/neck (although he explicitly had no intentions of killing). It's just a big flashy move designed to send bad guy's flying, leave them KO'd but not dead, and leave some superficial injury to prove the bad guy got owned.
Anyway, the new chapter better be out in like 2 seconds, because if we're debating the lethality of Chidori/Rasengan in terms of piercing power/area of effect damage, and the nuances of all the Chidori/Rasengan variants... well, let's just say it's not the most interesting discussion we've had.

The ice fishermen are out on Joe's Valley. The lake is frozen over and the weather has been clear and cold. On this day the weather was clear with the sun glaring off the snow. The five-10 mile per hour Northwest wind was blowing snow and making small drifts across the lake which made the bright sunshine of the day much colder than it appeared. The lake ice was reported to be about four inches thick.
Three groups of ice fishermen were observed on the lake. Some of those fishermen were bundled up in snow mobile suits standing over their ice fishing hole, some sitting in lawn chairs by their ice fishing hole, while others were using light weight canvas ice fishing houses to protect them from the wind.
Clayton Ward from Huntington was one of the ice fishermen guarding his ice fishing hole. He said he caught one small Splake fish.
Clayton was with Ryan Cowley and Ryan's two boys Nathan and Jamie also from Huntington. They had not caught a fish yet. This group of fishermen had been fishing for five hours and were only rewarded by catching the one fish caught by Clayton.
Clayton said this was the first time he had fished at Joe's Valley since 1992 when he stepped into an ice fishing hole. At that time he fell in up to his shoulders. He has ice fished in several of the other lakes over the years in and around Emery County.
They were enjoying the last days of the Christmas vacation by fishing at Joe's Valley.

After the succes of the SBS Tv show in korea , Jean Yves blondeau, the Rollerman, have been Approached by a big compagny. Korea Telecom (AKA olleh) wanted to prepare a commercial film featuring Buggy rollin.
They wateched the video in internet and particulary "Extreme". (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EI7O7NW8Vv8 )
So they went together with jean yves and his fresh made silver buggy rolin suit in Barcelona, Spain. They spend one crasy week to reprocuce all effect of the extreme video with cinema camera. The direcor was Korean, the production was spainish, and the agency was french.
Jean Yves met hyan Bin for the first time, and kim nam hoon teached him his first inline skating skills.
Later they finished the advertising at incheon airport in korea. This film was aired 20 time a day on every channel during 6 month in south Korea. That have made Jean Yves small star in asia.
The grafiti wall sequence
When the team arrived on the location, the floor was full of trash, it was impossible to skate. Nobody thought about it. So when JY saw it he took a broom and started to clean before making test. But the film schedule was tight. Every hour is expensive. So the director went VERY ANGRY and yeld in korean to the all team. They were all panic like hunted annimals, and run in all direction with the heads under the shoulder to find a broom to clean the place. After 3 minutes of race it was ready. But hte wall was deep framed by metal structured wich did not allow to land back correctly. It need a lot of precision and effort and was too short. So they cut the sequence on edition. so nobody every see theses pictures.

Ulster returned to the victory trail, in the PRO12, after claiming a 22-18 victory over Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.
Ulster returned to the victory trail, in the PRO12, after claiming a 22-18 victory over Leinster in Dublin on Saturday.
The win moves Ulster into second position in the standings and ended Leinster's winning streak in the league.
It was the boot of Ian Madigan which separated the sides at the break as his four penalties took the hosts 12-8 ahead, with the visitors' response coming through Robbie Diack's try and Ruan Pienaar's penalty.
Madigan added two more three-pointers in the second half but Iain Henderson's touchdown and nine more points from Pienaar sealed a courageous win.
Despite one point separating these two teams going into the encounter, their respective forms were vastly different.
The Dubliners went into the game having won seven in a row in the PRO12 while the Northern Irish province had secured just a single victory in five league matches.
However, the Ulstermen had several players returning from injury and they started brightly, putting pressure on their opponent's defence.
But it was the hosts who took their opportunities early on when Madigan kicked successive penalties to take them into a 6-0 lead.
Although the visitors immediately responded with a try from Diack, after an excellent burst by Nick Williams, a third three-pointer via the boot of Leinster's fly-half took them 9-5 ahead.
Madigan and Pienaar then traded kicks from the tee as Joe Schmidt's men took a 12-8 advantage into the interval.
The home side's stand-off was again successful via the boot, but a pair of penalties from Ulster's scrum-half reduced the deficit to one point after 57 minutes.
And they shocked the majority of the RDS crowd when Henderson touched down after an excellent period of play which saw the ball moved through several phases.
Although Madigan kicked his sixth three-pointer Pienaar's long-range effort secured the victory, despite a late Leinster onslaught.
The scorers:
For Leinster:
Pens: Madigan 6
For Ulster:
Tries: Diack, Henderson
Pens: Pienaar 4
Yellow card: Payne (80th minute)
Leinster: 15 Rob Kearney, 14 Dave Kearney, 13 Brendan Macken, 12 Gordon D'Arcy, 11 Isa Nacewa, 10 Ian Madigan, 9 Isaac Boss, 8 Jamie Heaslip (c), 7 Shane Jennings, 6 Kevin McLaughlin, 5 Quinn Roux, 4 Devin Toner, 3 Mike Ross, 2 Richardt Strauss, 1 Cian Healy.
Replacements: 16 Sean Cronin, 17 Jack McGrath, 18 Jamie Hagan, 19 Leo Cullen, 20 Rhys Ruddock, 21 John Cooney, 22 Andrew Goodman, 23 Andrew Conway.
Ulster: 15 Jared Payne, 14 Andrew Trimble, 13 Darren Cave, 12 Stuart Olding, 11 Craig Gilroy, 10 Paddy Jackson, 9 Ruan Pienaar, 8 Nick Williams 7 Chris Henry, 6 Robbie Diack, 5 Dan Tuohy, 4 Johann Muller (c), 3 Ricky Lutton, 2 Rory Best, 1 Tom Court.

At the April Huntington City council meeting, the council continued following the necessary steps in the building of a new fire station by holding the required public hearing for the Municipal Building Authority for the intent of bonding for the new building. The city council did the necessary steps in approving moving forward.
Councilman Travis Larsen reported that the engineer, city personnel, fire chief and other concerned citizens, met and fine tuned the floor plan, location of building on the site, the exterior of the building and any other ideas brought up to make the building both beautiful and functional.
Mayor Hilary Gordon reported the purchase of the ground for the station is almost complete. The Oveson site is done and the Earl property is 90 percent complete with just the final paperwork holding up the purchase.
The city finally received a price on a piece of property located on Main Street and 400 North from UDOT and the council proceeded with the purchase of said piece of property. The city discussed future uses of the property from commercial uses to a welcoming park. Future discussions will be held.
The city will contract with Rocky Mountain Power for the addition of three new streetlights in town. These will be installed close to 560 W. 520 N., 155 N. 100 W. and 150 E. 300 S. The council also authorized a resolution to the power company to move a pole at the site of the new fire station.
Councilman Jerry Livingston reported that the sidewalk project for the season is almost complete. The low bidder was a company out of Lehi. Livingston was pleased by the professionalism of the crew and how quickly they got the job done.
Livingston also reported that the city employees are doing a good job of keeping the dump site clean and that the city residents are being responsible about putting all items in their proper location at the site.
Councilman Mark Justice reported that the city flowerpots will be filled the first Wednesday in May. He also reported that they have toured the old fire station in Orangeville and he leading the way for a future use of the current Huntington city fire station once the department moves to its new location.
It was also reported by Larsen that the snow pack in the mountains in better than average and that there will be no need for rationing of water this summer season. The reservoirs are dumping water now in anticipation of the spring run-off.
Councilman Julie Jones reported the annual Easter egg hunt was a success. Also two new business licenses were issued to JC Seal coats by Jordan Grange and Dog Grooming by Rosie Burgess.

19 And when she had done giving him drink, she said, I will draw water for thy camels also, until they have done drinking.

Consider the federal job search your "job".

The Emery County RSVP, Retired Senior Volunteer Program is preparing to walk to Hawaii and they enlisted the help of the Emery County Commissioners. Celeste Lute explained the program to the commissioners. She said seniors are more likely to exercise if they do so in a group. The seniors in the county will walk the 6,000 miles to Hawaii and back. Figuratively, not literally they will begin their quest. They want help purchasing pedometers to monitor their walking. "If you are already exercising, then that's good. We encourage you to do more and keep moving," said Lute. When the seniors reach the half way mark they will have a party. They want to encourage seniors to come out and make new friends. They will be having a kick-off party to get started and at the end they will have a Hawaiian luau to celebrate reaching Hawaii, on paper anyway.
Betty Hatch of RSVP is the supervisor for the program.
Lute said, "We appreciate what this county does for the seniors. We already have 107 people signed up."
Marvin Gardner, retired senior said he would foot the bill for the luau at the end of the walking. Sylvia Nelson said they are working on getting a free trip to Hawaii as a prize at the luau.
Commissioner Gary Kofford said it is a worthy project and voted a $250 donation from the commission which was approved by Commissioners Drew Sitterud and Jeff Horrocks.
Pro Rehab also donated $250 to get the "Walk to Hawaii" program off the ground. The kick-off party will take place as soon as the pedometers arrive.

I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
So now the immediate threat will disappear but that's nothing compared to what's to come when Acnologia starts the next apocalypse.
The Dragon Slayers are still too weak, they had trouble with these dragons and their all fodder to Acnologia, I don't know how but they need some insane power up to even have a fighting chance.
Acnologia is going to break them, I'm sure.
Question is where is Zeref? We haven't seen hims since the "time skip".
^ Playing chase with Acnologia ? From the looks of it Acnologia is after Zeref, for whatever reason he/she/it has. Seemingly, according to this arc, Zeref had a lot to do with Acnologia becoming a Dragon, so maybe it is revenge, or a countermeasure so that no one else will be able to claim that level of power as well ?
Now that I think about, all those Zeref's Monsters/Demons might have been actually created to battle Acnologia, but humans have used them against each other ? I have also seen a theory that they were made to kill Zeref himself, since he can't die because he constantly sucks out life from the surrounding or something like that.
Lucy and Rouge already are from 2 different futures, so if the gate is destroyed all it should do is create another future. If it doesn't than will just be a major plot hole. Hopefully the dragons will stay, I would hate if this plan actually worked.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
Speaking of Acnologia,
1) Did he gain the ability to kill so many dragons because of Zeref, or did Zeref's magic merely transform him into a dragon after or as he bathed in the blood of dragons. I am uncertain which is/was the case.
2) If Acnologia became the Dragon King X-hundred years ago, why then did he vanish from history only to reappear occasionally (in close proximity to Zeref). Did Zeref do something to Acnologia that removed him from this plane after he had transformed into a dragon? Did whatever Zeref did link Acologia to Zeref such that he Acno, can only materialize where and when Zeref is? Is Acnologia trying to kill Zeref or perhaps otherwise release himself from Zeref's power?
3) Compared to today's Dragon Slayers, Why was acnologia so insanely powerful? It is obvious that the level of power from today's DS magic is puny next to what Acno had. Is there another level of DS magic, or is it something you get to after killing multiple dragons one by one?
Note sting and Rogue's dragons had them kill them, was this to give Sting+rogue a rapid power boost? Did they also bathe in their dragons blood?
4) Igneel is counting on Natsu. Did Igneel invest an alternate method of empowering a DS in Natsu that could eventually compete with Acnologia's power levels?
If this future is reversed (assuming that is what Future Lucy said), Would Ultea come back to life?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
1) It's not certain, according to Zirconis he slaughtered dragons and bathed in their blood but according to Arcadios his research indicates Zeref played a hand in his transformation which is plausable since Zeref seems to be connected to him in some way.
2) His the Black Dragon of Apocalypse, the answer is in the name. His purpose is to bring about the next apocalypse and then go back to sleep, that's why Zeref was pissed at Grimore Heart because their evil intent awakened him and he said "now mankind will have to embark on another long journey" meaning Acnologia is going to do his thing.
3) I've also been thinking about this, my theory is he was already someone powerful and sinister on Gildarts level and then Dragon Slayer Magic gave him even more power or he could've ambushed his dragon when it dropped it's guard which is more plausible since Sting was able to kill Vicelogia when he dropped his guard and let him go for the kill willingly.
4) That's unknown but what I find interesting is that they seem to also know about Zeref, Grandine was going to mention something regarding Zeref but she let it go, if he created Acnologia then he would be the only one who knows how to defeat it, although he did say that's something that you can't win against not to mention his shit scared of Acnologia
I'm sorry Paul but Ultear is dead, I'm gonna miss her too she had a killer body with the best curves lol
If according to the rules of their future changing plan then anything that happened after the opening of the gate is subject to change, including the death of Ultear etc. I think
A pie in the sky?
About Ultear, so sad. (Even if she's a witch the Bleep bleeps! and the Oompahpahs! on Her were well, cough cough, very very well designed..aesthetically speaking of course..Ahem! cough cough)
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Then agian, the timeline in Rave seemed to be quite linear, but in FT, Mashima already have shown that there are at least 2 known timelines and what Jellal's aim is to get to a third, new best one, rather than to the original like Ultear wanted.
If time was to be linear, then F.Lucy from 10,000 Dragon world and F.Rogue from Acnologia world, wouldn't be able to exist at the same time, unless they have come from separate timelines.
Seeing as GS themselves can't scratch Dragons, I wonder just what they really slay. At first I though perhaps that they might be similar, or even almost the same as DS, since in some legends Dragons are considered Gods, but that doesn't seem the case, even if they have similar powers. In other words, they seem to be slayers of something else, perhaps high ranking demons, like False Gods or Dark Ones, or whatever there was ? Or perhaps all other creatures that reached God-Status, like Pheonix, Turtles and the like ? After all, there might be a race that Dragons themselve battled against before they started to fight amongst each other.
BTW. I hope that the new Rave x FT OVA will ignite the will to create more OVAs about Rave ;D, well I'm not hopping that we will get a new series, but a few OVAs would be nice, like Haru vs Sword Saint. You know, in similar manner as they did Tsubasa OVAs like Tokyo Revelations and the like >.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant's sideline histrionics last weekend didn't bother Minnesota Vikings end Jared Allen.
Truth be told, Allen kind of liked what he saw.
"It happens. I've seen guys dang near try to choke each other on the sideline and it never gets caught on tape," Allen said this week in the Vikings locker room.
WEEK 9 PICKS: Oh, brother, Saints vs. Jets
RUN DOWN: Where are all the 100-yard rushers?
"It's a passionate game, and honestly, not that I like seeing it all the time, but when you see that kind of heat and that energy, you know that person's invested. That's better than the guy that's just moping on the sideline by himself with his helmet off."
Audio released of the televised exchange between Bryant, receivers coach Derek Dooley and quarterback Tony Romo revealed Bryant — amid the arm waving and shouting — was attempting to have a productive conversation at a critical juncture in the game against the Detroit Lions.
Things became more heated when Bryant blew up again after the Lions' winning touchdown with 12 seconds to go, to the point veteran tight end Jason Witten screamed back and defensive end DeMarcus Ware, inactive for the game, grabbed Bryant's jersey to restrain him.
"The biggest thing is everybody was just really telling him the same thing — 'Dez, we love you, we understand what you're saying, but let's get ready for the next play,' and that's the way it was," Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said. "I've been around, in my career, some really, really passionate players and coaches and they typically tend to be the best ones."
But at what point does a sideline confrontation cross the line?
"Once you start being negative about your teammates," Washington Redskins receiver Josh Morgan said. "You don't do that."
Or, as Vikings linebacker Chad Greenway put it: "I think when you start attacking other people for doing their job or for not doing their job. You can't start attacking people's character, attacking people's decisions."
That often was the perception surrounding another emotional receiver, Terrell Owens, who famously refused to let then-Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb walk away from him on the sideline — an incident the pair playfully mocked during a later game.
"More than anything, people think when someone throws their hands up and they're emotional, they take it and run with it because it's a good story and then you get a lot of ratings," Romo said. "But in reality, there's just nothing negative that can come — unless they're doing it in a deceitful, mean manner, and (Bryant) just doesn't do that."
Romo had his own heated moments with Owens, whose name quickly comes up in any discussion about sideline etiquette. But Owens is far from the only player to push the boundaries — and quarterbacks aren't always on the receiving end.
During his days in Indianapolis, Peyton Manning was caught on camera trading profanities with his longtime center, Jeff Saturday. New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had a shouting match with coordinator Bill O'Brien. Last season, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler shoved tackle J'Marcus Webb.
"No matter how frustrated you may be inside, you want to have positive body language," Redskins backup quarterback Kirk Cousins said. "I would always encourage myself and teammates to stay positive."
Receiver Ted Ginn once had to get between former San Francisco 49ers coach Mike Singletary and quarterback Troy Smith. Offensive tackle Barry Richardson shoved a coach while with the Kansas City Chiefs. Then-Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Cullen Jenkins had a point-blank confrontation with coach Andy Reid — during a preseason game.
"We'd rather for our guys to communicate in a fashion where we can talk back and forth as opposed to having an outburst on the sidelines that could be a distraction for our team," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. "But I do understand how passionate our players are and how much they want to win."
There have been coach-on-coach incidents, too, none more memorable than Buddy Ryan punching fellow Houston Oilers coordinator Kevin Gilbride in 1994.
"Heck, me and Frazier have been nose-to-nose on the sideline pointing each other in the chest," Allen said. "It doesn't mean I disrespect him. It doesn't mean I don't love him. … I was pissed off at a situation. I'm venting my frustration about what I think needs to be done to win that game, and 99% of the time it's never about the individual."
Allen has some latitude as a five-time Pro Bowl pick, though. And he admits the line is "wherever the coach will let (a player) take it to without fisticuffs."
Bryant, who had two touchdown catches in Sunday's loss, surely falls into that category — though the audio of the first exchange didn't strike players around the league as over the line.
"Dez didn't say anything that was negative," Baltimore Ravens end Chris Canty said. "I didn't hear anything derogatory coming out towards Tony or anybody on the offense. It sounded like words of encouragement."
Bryant just delivered them in a slightly more demonstrative way than others might have — and made the mistake of reprising his antics while there was still time on the clock.
"I don't get into that stuff, because I don't feel it's appropriate for me to do it in that fashion," Redskins receiver Santana Moss said. "There have been some times when I have blown up before, but it may not have been caught on camera.
"I'd never knock a guy for what they do when they're out there and you can count on them. Now, if you're a guy who's out there ranting and raving and you can't bust a grape, you need to sit down."
Fair or not, plenty of attention (and TV cameras) will be trained to Bryant if the Cowboys offense struggles Sunday against Allen and the Vikings.
The longer any exchanges with Romo and company go on, the better the chance it'll get caught — and the better the chance it will become the distraction the Cowboys say Bryant's blowups were not last weekend.
"Maybe we can get a shot clock on it, right?" Allen said. "I don't know. If it becomes the helmets off, then it can be a little destructive. … I've thrown my helmet plenty of times. I've been nose-to-nose with coaches plenty of times, with other players. It happens. …
"I have a bigger problem with people that are detached (and) counting butterflies on the side when you're trying to get a win. So, yeah, maybe you shouldn't go on all the time, but honestly, I saw the clips (of Bryant) — I didn't think it was that big. Now all of a sudden the audio comes out and everybody's like, 'Oh, he's so passionate.'
"Give the kid a break. He was hot, for a minute. It's just like family. You're around each other every day, all the time, (and) sometimes you need a vent session. Sometimes you need to just, hey, L-I-G it — let it go. Move on."

Great for skinny calves
"I have skinny calves, and this boots hug my legs...I would not recommend them for anyone with wider calves as you won't be able to zip them up. They are unusually narrow for tall boots.I love these boots so much...very comfortable and a good mid-height heel makes them easy to walk in. However, the taller front of the boot hits right into my knee. which is uncomfortable and looks funny too. They are too tall.Bottom line...if you are taller with skinny calves they will be perfect!"

The Emery High Golf Team hosted a region meet at Millsite Golf Course on Sept. 5. Four other schools, Carbon, Lehi, North Sanpete, and Delta, attended this 18 hole tournament.
Emery High's roster includes, Mike Reid, Kendrick Wilson, Darrell Swasey, Scott Lofley, Wylee Merrell, Conlee Luke, Zac Gasser, Chandler Pearson, Louis Duke and Dereck Brotherson.
Each team from these five schools hosts a meet on their home course during the season. The team from Emery travels to Sunset View Golf Course in Delta, Palisade Golf Course in North Sanpete, Carbon Country Club in Price, and Thanksgiving Point in Lehi.
Coach Duane Merrell says this team has a lot of potential and looks to have a great season. They have only a couple of seniors, so the team is a little younger, but they are really excited about this year.
The team from Delta won first place at this meet, with Lehi coming in second. Emery High took third place, Carbon placed fourth and North Sanpete took fifth place.
Emery's golf team's next meet will be on Sept. 12 at Palisade. The two remaining meets will be Sept. 16 at Thanksgiving Point and Sept. 26 at Sunset View.

France 1859 – 1891
The circus (sketch)
[Le cirque (esquisse)] 1891
oil on canvas
canvas 55.0 (h) x 46.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Gift of Mrs Jacques Doucet, according to her husband's wishes 1937
© RMN (Musée d'Orsay) / Hervé Lewandowski
By the late 1880s a new venue had become a favoured subject for artists portraying modern life. In his essay, 'Circuses, Theatres, Social Commentary' published in La Revue indépendante in December 1887, the critic Félix Fénéon had complained that the Parisian stage was in a serious state of decline:
For a long time now the stories of adultery recounted on our stages have been utterly dull. Unbearable in everyday life, they've not gained any attraction for having been prolonged by the performances of our best actors ... What's left are our circuses.1
Towards the end of the nineteenth century, Paris had four large circuses: the seasonal Cirque d'Eté and Cirque d'Hiver, the chic, more fashionable Nouveau-Cirque, and the Cirque Fernando (subsequently known as Cirque Médrano).2 The Fernando was the subject of the present work, Seurat's The circus (sketch).
Here we see a young female equestrian performing bareback on a prancing horse, a crop in one hand as an acrobat cavorts behind her. To the left, the ringmaster holds an outstretched whip, orchestrating the performance, while in the foreground a smiling clown stands with his back to the viewer—indicated by his shoulders, while with one hand he pulls back the curtain on the scene. The background shows the bare outlines of a few members of the audience and an orchestra conductor with his baton raised.
This work is the only known oil sketch for Seurat's monumental 1.85 x 1.52 metre painting The circus 18913. Both this sketch and the larger canvas, along with several preparatory drawings, were made in the years 1890–91. For The circus (sketch) Seurat has chosen the primary colours of red, yellow and blue, applied in feathery brushstrokes on a painted white canvas, and used mixtures of these to make the additional colours of pink and a green.
Seurat had met the French scientist Charles Henry at the eighth and last Impressionist exhibition in 1886, where his work A Sunday afternoon on the island of La Grande Jatte 18864 was on display. This was Seurat's groundbreaking painting heralding the arrival of his new style. His interest in Henry's theories of linear expression consolidated his own earlier absorption of such ideas, which were expounded by Charles Blanc, whose writings Seurat had begun reading at the age of sixteen.5 The circus (sketch) exemplifies Seurat's interest in linear expression, where a warm palette and upwardly moving lines evoke a sense of joyfulness, evident here in the artist's adoption of dynamic and uplifting lines and his use of reds, pinks and yellows. This painting also reflects the influence on artists by the noted French poster-maker of the day, Jules Chéret, whose brightly coloured, playful imagery entranced all of Paris.
