Lightweight design has enjoyed very high priority at Audi for decades now. As an efficiency technology, it makes an important contribution toward attaining fleet targets. The premium brand with the four rings does not rely on any one material, but instead on an intelligent material mix – of materials ranging from steel to aluminum, magnesium and fiber-reinforced polymers. The motto of lightweight design engineers is this: the right material at the right place and in the right amount.

Given this, I'm more than a little concerned about the validity of anything that appears in the book, or the research that produced it. Using me to endorse the book when I did no such thing suggests someone who is less than candid in other areas of research. The only question is who is responsible for the quote and why was it even put up. I'll have more on this in a later post.
All this presents a curious problem. Clearly the Air Force had heard of the case, and just as clearly they had written it off as a very bright meteor that had been reported over the eastern sea board on September 12. There is also a note that the meteor (or meteoroid for those of a precise and technical nature) landed somewhere in West Virginia (becoming a meteorite). Apparently the Air Force believed that the "landing" of the meteorite was enough to inspire local residents to imagine a creature on the ground. And, apparently, they believed that the meteorite would account for the reports of physical evidence.
"...we met two people who had seen a slow-moving reddish object pass over from the east to west. This was later described and 'explained' by a Mr. P.M. Reese of the Maryland Academy of Sciences staff, as a 'fireball meteor.' He concluded - incorrectly we believe - that it was 'traveling at a height of from 60 to 70 miles' and was about the 'size of your fist.'... However, a similar, if not the same object was seen over both Frederick and Hagerstown. Also, something comparable was reported about the same time from Kingsport, Tennessee, and from Wheeling and Parkersburg, West Virginia."
As they watched, there was a bright orange flare that faded to a dull cherry glow near where the object had disappeared. As three of the boys started up the hill, toward the lights, they saw them cycle through the sequence a couple of times. The lights provided a beacon for them, showing them where the object was.
They found the path that lead up the hill, opened and then closed a gate, and continued along the winding path. Lemon and Nunley were in the lead with May, her son Eddie, following, and they were trailed by others including Ronald Shaver and Ted Neal. Tommy Hyer was in the rear, not far behind the others.
Some of them reported that they saw, on the ground in front of them, a big ball of fire, described as the size of an outhouse, or about twenty feet across. It was pulsating orange to red. Interestingly, although it was big and bright, not everyone in the tiny party saw it.
Lemon reacted most violently of the small party when he saw the object. He passed out. There was confusion, they were all scared, and no one sure what to do. The boys grabbed the unconscious Lemon and then ran.
Still others, including the sheriff, eventually arrived. Most of them didn't bother to mount any sort of search, and the sheriff, who was clearly skeptical, refused to investigate further than talking to May and the boys. I think it is important to note here that the sheriff had been searching for a downed small aircraft reported earlier. He found no evidence of an aircraft accident and no one reported any airplanes missing. The relevance of this will become clear later.
A. Lee Stewart, Jr., one of the editors of The Braxton Democrat convinced Lemon to lead them back to the spot of the sighting. Given Lemon's initial reaction, it says something about the kid that he agreed to do so. They found nothing and saw nothing but did smell that strange odor.
Sanderson pointed out that the other physical evidence that had been reported, skid marks on the ground, an oily substance on the grass, and the foul odor, might have been part of the environment. The type of grass growing wild in that area gave off a similar odor and the grass seemed to be the source of the oil. Sanderson said that he couldn't find the skid marks, and knew of no one who had photographed them.
Barker also interviewed Nunley, whose description of the craft disagreed with that of his grandfather though he did say the object seemed to stop and hover before falling to the hill. I wonder if the disparity came from the different perspectives of the witnesses. Sometimes the angles from which something is viewed seems to change the shape and the direction.
Snitowski didn't tell his tale until two or three years after the fact. He then told it to an officer of the Flying Saucer Research Institute who published the account in the magazine. Looking at it from that point of view, that is, a tale told long after the national publicity that was provided for May and the others, there certainly is the hint that Snitowski was influenced by those articles. There is no proof he was, only the very real possibility.
Snitowski said that a foul odor began to seep into the car making the baby cry. Snitowski didn't know what this odor was but suspected it might be a sulfur plant nearby burning waste. It was then that a bright light flashed overhead and both Snitowski and his wife were confused by it. He said later, that looking down, into the woods, he could see what he thought of as some kind of dimly lighted sphere.
His wife screamed, and Snitowski yelled, "Edith, for God's sake. What's the matter."
Snitowski reached the car, climbed in, and grabbed a kitchen knife that he had in the glove box. He forced his wife down, to the floor and begged her to silence the crying baby. He didn't know what to do and said that the odor was now overpowering. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw the object, the sphere, beginning to climb erratically into the sky. It stopped to hover several times, and eventually disappeared. Suddenly it swooped, climbed upward in a bright, dazzling light, and vanished. When he looked outside the car, the creature was gone.
If his report is true, and there is no way, today, to learn if it is, then it makes a nice corroboration for the Flatwoods case. The problem, however, and as outlined earlier, is that the Flatwoods case was national news the day after it happened. At that point, the story was contaminated because an investigator could never be sure that Snitowski, or anyone else who came forward with a report, hadn't been primed by the story as published in the newspapers or even seen on television.
Years later, in the mid-1990s, Kathleen May Horner, was interviewed about the sighting. She told investigators that the two men that everyone thought were newspaper reporters were, in fact, government agents. She also remembered that a local reporter received a letter from some unidentified government agency that revealed the creature was some sort of rocket experiment that had gone wrong that day. There had been four such "rockets" and all of them fell back to earth.
There are few points of corroboration for this tale, even among those who were together that night. The descriptions of the craft in flight sound more like a bolide, that is, a very bright meteor. Newspapers from other communities in the region report on just such a meteor. P. M. Reese from the Maryland Academy of Sciences suggested the red fireball was relatively slow moving and 60 to 70 miles high.
And we know that meteors can seem to climb, though that is an optical illusion, that they can seem to hover briefly, and that they can seem to maneuver, again an optical illusion. The witness testimony here is not sufficient to reject meteor, especially when it is remembered that the object was seen over a large region, suggesting something that was very bright and very high. People looking up into the night sky are simply unable to judge height and speed with any degree of accuracy. A meteor of sufficient size and brightness was seen that night.
Jerry Clark reported that the witnesses stuck to their stories but that doesn't mean what they saw was grounded in our shared reality. That they were truly frightened only suggests they were telling the truth, but not that they saw an extraterrestrial being.
This case seems to be the result of the bolide and the hysteria brought on UFO sightings that were headline news around the country including the impressive sightings from Washington, D.C. It seems that those who climbed the hill, believing they were going to find a landed flying saucer, talked themselves into the hysteria and when they saw something in a tree with eyes that glowed in the light of their flashlights, convinced themselves they had seen an alien creature.
But there is that quote attributed to me on one of the sites that promotes this case as extraterrestrial and fair or not, that influences my perspective. If they would manufacture this quote, what else has been manufactured and who is responsible. I have tried to communicate with them but I have heard nothing from them.

Some stolen firearms, household items and tools were among items recovered Thursday after law enforcement conducted surprise search warrants at six Woodland homes.
The investigation and subsequent searches followed a two-month burglary spree, during which more than 100 incidents were reported during November and December, according to Woodland Police Sgt. Brett Hancock.
"The goal for today was to recover stolen property and make any applicable arrests," said Hancock in a statement. "Stolen property was recovered and six arrests were made."
One of the suspects, 23-year-old Mario Lopez, is still outstanding and should be considered "armed and dangerous," warned Hancock.
"He is wanted in connection to this investigation which is still ongoing. Lopez is described as a Hispanic male with brown hair and eyes weighing 180 pounds and 5 feet 11 inches in height," said Hancock, adding that anyone with information about his whereabouts is encouraged to call Woodland police dispatch at 666-2411.
Arrested were Mark Lasonde, 28, for burglary, possession of stolen property and a warrant; Kimberly Lalley, 24, for burglary, possession of stolen property and a warrant; Jose Garcia, 37, for possession of methamphetamine and a warrant; Blanca Hernandez, 30, for possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance; Elia Garcia, 22, for possession of methamphetamine and possession of stolen property and Salvador Villa, 34, was taken into custody for possession of methamphetamine.
All of the suspects are residents of Woodland and were booked at the Yolo County Jail.
The crackdown began around 6 a.m. Thursday and included several jurisdictions in addition to Woodland police including the West Sacramento Police Department, Davis Police Department, Yolo County Sheriff's Department, California Highway Patrol, Yolo County Probation and the Yolo County District Attorney's Office.
Homes searched were located in the areas of the 100 block of Railroad Avenue, the 1300 block of Coolidge Place, 1200 block of Carriage, 500 block of Oak Avenue, 500 block of Daniels Street and the 0-100 block of Sutter Street.
Anyone with information regarding this investigation - as well as those who are wondering if their stolen property may have been recovered - are encouraged to call the Woodland Police Department Investigation's Division at 661-7800.

By McCarton Ackerman, USTA.com
It was a stellar weekend for Team USA, with four young Americans advancing to form a pair of U.S. vs. U.S. finals on the USTA Pro Circuit.
The all-American clashes took place at the $25,000 Innisbrook Women's Open in Innisbrook, Fla., where 2011 US Open girls' singles champion Grace Min defeated two-time NCAA singles champion Nicole Gibbs, 7-5, 6-0, and the $15,000 USTA Men's Pro Tennis Championships of Calabasas in Calabasas, Calif., where current NCAA standout Marcos Giron upset No. 3 seed Jason Jung, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.
In a matchup of unseeded players, Min wore down Gibbs and stormed through the final eight games of the match. The world No. 183 has already won three USTA Pro Circuit singles titles on clay (all in 2012), and this marks her first pro title on hard courts. Min played extensively on the WTA last year, qualifying for five events and winning a round at the WTA Premier event in Charleston, S.C. She also qualified last year for both the US Open and French Open.
Gibbs has continued to post impressive results since turning pro after winning her second NCAA singles title last May. The world No. 192 won the $50,000 USTA Pro Circuit event last July in Yakima, Wash., and also won her opening round at the Emirates Airline US Open Series event held at her alma mater of Stanford University. Last month, Gibbs also qualified for the WTA event in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
With friends and family cheering him on, California native Giron broke Jung at love in the final game of the match to win his first USTA Pro Circuit title of 2014. In addition, Giron won two USTA Pro Circuit Futures in California last September, in Claremont and Laguna Niguel. The current No. 1 player at UCLA is set to move from No. 532 to inside the Top 450 when the new rankings are released next week.
"It's really nice that it's close by home and it's a local tournament that I was able to win," Giron told the Los Angeles Daily News. "It's like nostalgia over here. It brings back good memories. I've practiced on these courts a lot, so being able to play a tournament here, I felt really comfortable and I think that probably helped me some to get the title."
The runner-up showing continues Jung's rapid rise; he has climbed 200 spots in the last year, to No. 347 in the world. The former all-Big 10 performer at the University of Michigan won the $10,000 USTA Pro Circuit event last August in Edwardsville, Ill., while also reaching the finals at two other ITF Pro Circuit events. Jung has even begun making inroads in Challengers in 2014, reaching the round of 16 at the $100,000 USTA Pro Circuit event in Dallas and at two other $50,000 events.

Hotness from Top to Bootie
"Bought these babies on a "rush" to go to a Biker Party a few Friday's ago... darned in black leather, grays, and rhinestones... I looked great if I do say so myself... lol.My date greets me at my door, gives me the once-over, leans back on one leg, cocks his head to the side and smiles, "Nice boots... yeah...," with a scheme in his voice. We had a great time. That was 5 weeks and 9 dates ago. *cheesing* I give credit to the bootie!"

Nice addition to the shoe wardrobe
"These shoe are adorable but after wearing them all day they became quite uncomfortable around my toes. I have a narrow foot to begin with but these definitely run on the narrow side.Would I buy them again? Probably...they are just so cute!"

Stylish and super comfy
"The pics of the brown croc style don't do this shoe justice. It's much prettier in person. I didn't see the suede ones in the store, or I would've probably bought those, since I have no idea what I'll wear the brown ones with, but they were so pretty and so, so comfortable that I had to have them. They're a nice break from wearing super high heels everyday. These are just slightly narrow, but my feet are on the wider side of medium, so if you have narrow feet, they'll be fine. They're not too tight, just not a lot of room in the width. They are really pretty though and I'm very happy with my purchase!"

Court hearing delayed in Santa Cruz attorney's homicide
A hearing for a man accused of killing Santa Cruz attorney Celestial Cassman in Maui was delayed Tuesday because a psychiatric review was not yet complete.
Second Circuit Judge Joseph Cardoza was set to review a psychiatric evaluation for Gerald Galaway Jr., but instead he set a new court date for Jan. 29, 2013, prosecutor John Kim said.
Galaway, 39, pleaded no contest in June to manslaughter and kidnapping for Cassman's September 2011 death. He later entered a motion to withdraw his plea and claimed he was in a "trance."
Cassman, 35, was killed a day after she and Galaway arrived in Maui.
Maui police have said Galaway and Cassman fought on the side of a highway where Cassman was later found dead.
Robber described in taqueria heist
Police late Tuesday released a more detailed description of a man who robbed Fidel's Mexican Food on Airport Boulevard.
About 4 p.m. Tuesday at the restaurant at 301 Airport Blvd., a man who appeared 16 to 22 years old brandished a chrome handgun at a clerk, said Watsonville police Sgt. Tony Magdayao.
With several customers and employees in the restaurant, he demanded cash, took it and fled. No one was injured.
Police said the gunman appeared tall with a thin build. He wore a gray sweatshirt, jeans and a beanie. He fled south on Airport Boulevard.
Authorities searched the area with a K-9 unit Tuesday night but did not find him. Santa Cruz County sheriff's deputies and Santa Cruz County Gang Task Force members participated in the search.
Watsonville police asked that anyone with information to call investigations at 768-3350 or leave an anonymous tip on the tipline at 768-3544.
Man stabbed, woman battered while walking together Tuesday
A man and a woman reported being attacked Tuesday evening while walking in the area of Holm Road and Anna Street in Watsonville.
A police officer was at Watsonville Community Hospital around 6 p.m. on an unrelated matter when a couple entered the emergency room and said they had been attacked. The man had been stabbed once in the upper torso and both individuals had been battered, Sgt. Tony Magdayao said. The woman suffered lacerations and contusions to her face and body.
The pair told police that they were walking on the street near the track at Rolling Hills School when they were approached by four or five men, each approximately 18 to 24 years old. The suspects yelled gang slogans at the couple before attacking them. The man and woman, both in their late 20s, fled and drove to the hospital for treatment of nonlife-threatening injuries.
The victims were unable to provide much information regarding descriptions of the suspects but the investigation is being treated as a gang-related crime.
Watsonville police asked that anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident to call the investigations bureau at 831-768-3350 or the anonymous tipline at 831-768-3544.

A former girlfriend of accused murderer Corey Anthony Lopez told the jury in testimony June 19 about several incidents during their relationship when he allegedly choked her.
The 23-year-old Lakewood man faces first-degree murder charges in the death of 21-year-old Richelle Ann Best, whose death was attributed to strangulation.
Lopez also faces attempted murder charges of his ex-girlfriend, Samantha Eckendorf, who specifically talked about an incident in 2008 when, she said, Lopez attacked her after the couple had an argument. Eckendorf said the attack began when Lopez surprised her by grabbing her and throwing her onto the couple's bed.
"He just started wailing on me," Eckendorf said, describing being punched on both sides of her jaw before Lopez began strangling her. She said the strangling went on long enough for her to lose consciousness.
According to testimony, a friend at the apartment heard the altercation and intervened.
When asked if she ever reported the strangulation to law enforcement, Eckendorf said she did not, for fear of damaging her relationship with Lopez.
"As painful as it is to say after that, I still loved him and wasn't going to leave him," Eckendorf said.
According to Eckendorf, Lopez choked her on more than one occasion.
On cross-examination, Eckendorf was questioned closely about why, after saying she feared for her life with Lopez, she carried on a friendly relationship after their breakup in December 2010.
In particular, the defense attorney asked why she also had sexual contact with Lopez after the breakup on one occasion.
"I figured I was damaged goods and nobody was ever going to want me again," Eckendorf answered.
The defense also questioned points of Eckendorf's courtroom testimony that differed from what she told detectives last year.
In particular, on the stand Eckendorf said that she never actually saw Lopez being physically pulled off her by a friend during the 2008 incident. Instead, she admitted to losing consciousness and waking up with the friend by her side.
Also during the June 19 court proceedings, the jury had a chance to hear Lopez say, in his own words, what happened in the early morning hours of June 24 leading up to the death of Best.
The prosecution showed the court the tape of an interview conducted by Lakewood Police Department detectives two days after Best's death.
In the interview, Lopez eventually confesses that he believes he accidentally strangled Best while the two were in bed.
"I've been thinking about killing myself the last few days over that," he told detectives.
In the video, Lopez repeatedly insists that he never choked Best in anger and that he had no indication anything was amiss until he woke up the next day and found her cold and not breathing.
Lopez' trial is scheduled to conclude this week.

I never really got into Gantz because the blood and gore was a little too intense for my taste, but from the first couple chapters I definitely got the Gantz vibe from this manga.
Spoiler!The storyline's a bit unorganized and the character development a little rough (people are just dropping like flies.. the girl goes in and out of psycho mode…) but it is intriguing and the plot seems original. So far, 7/10.
yep it's story more or less like gantz but not to intense
but i think it's quite good
psychokinesis a.k.a telekineses - movement from the mind ... This is getting good
The manga looks alot like Bleach and alot of other titles I've seen so far. Also the story reminds me of Gantz. Why?Because of the whole getting transported to different place to fight monsters to survive.
Dont get me wrong, Im still reading this title and Im intrested to see what happens next.
After reading the rest of the thread I see you guys have also made the same observations I have.
ill have to disagree a bit.. although Gantz is a good comparison, this feels more like HunterXHunter Greed Island game. Points, goals, powers, fighting enemies and "friends" because of the promised prize money (like battera in HXH), a "sensei" for the main characters so they power up and learn t control their powers(bisk in HXH)... the only thing like gantz is the fact that this occurs with some sort of "alien" technology or magic while in HXH the source is nen.
liked the manga, cause I always liked the Greed Island game by itself. I would had bought the video game if they ever did one lol but it looks like this manga is going to be pretty cool.
I've had a mind-power fetish since the age of about eight, read a series called The Many Coloured Land by Julian May, and it had telepathy 'n stuff, coolest power was called Coercion, crushing peoples wills with your own. Damn sweet...
Also, fxu, your sig, fewkin' awesome quote.
wow, i just noticed this series and finished reading ch. 1-8. the first 2 ch. had me a little worried that it was going to be very "type A-ish". ageha seemed way too much like ichigo and yusuke at first.(kid that likes too fight, but has a good heart).
but boy did this series start to set it self apart from the crowd quick. while it is a little like gantz(and the matrix); that's a good thing. there's still plenty of interesting things to do with the base concepts of those series. besides it has enough originality to be a great series.
the thing a like the most so far is the pacing. so much stuff happens in just 8 ch. there's been no lulls or time to be bored so far. so many series start off slow trying set up the characters and the world around them; it was nice that this series just dives right in. i was so shocked with how they just killed off so many ppl so quick. and such a huge reveal in just 5 ch.(that they're in japan, and later that it's the future).
one of the few things i did't like is the villians name. Nemesis Q, kind of lame...
as for the latest ch. love how that matsuri chick tells them they all have some strange disease and their powers will awaken, then just speeds off. and for some reason matsuri reminds me of ageha's sister(both are tough, black haired chicks who like beer)
I really love this manga!It has a different atmosphere from the usual shounen manga I've read.I wonder what kind of special power Ageha will get.
Meh, kinda nothing-y chapter, only vaguely interesting bit was the cracked milk glass as a potential hint for kewl powerz. I'm also annoyed at how small the main characters in Manga always are, for no reason other than it's a pointless trope.
BTW, since I spotted you grammar Nazi-ing in a thread elsewhere, I have to point out that it should've been "Feel green? I do." Sorry fxu, but you set the standard by being a Nazi, you must keep it up. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
At least you're not an abonimable speller.

Cai Griffiths starts at tighthead prop for the Ospreys after re-signing with the club on-loan against Cardiff Blues on Friday in Swansea.
Cai Griffiths starts at tighthead prop for the Ospreys after re-signing with the club on-loan against Cardiff Blues on Friday in Swansea.
"It's important that we show the right character and spirit after a disappointing second half showing in Edinburgh last weekend," said Ospreys boss Steve Tandy.
"We were extremely disappointed to come away with nothing and we know how crucial it us that we bounce back and put on the kind of performance that is expected from an Ospreys team this weekend.
"It's a massive game, a local derby and a chance to see some great young Welsh talent on both sides going head to head, with some real quality older players thrown into the blend.
"I'm really looking forward to the game. When you look through the teamsheet and see the quality of players that we have still available even when missing so many, it says a lot about the work we are doing here to bring through players."
Meanwhile, The Blues ended a four game losing run in the PRO12 with their 14-7 victory over Zebre in Italy on Sunday.
"It was a really good game against Zebre last weekend," said Cardiff director of rugby Phil Davies.
"I thought we played very, very well and if we had been a bit more clinical we could have scored three or four more tries.
"We have said since the start of the season that we are in transition and we have a lot of young players coming through."
"What we have done over the last few months, although it has been painful at times with some of the results, is create some depth and given a lot of players opportunities.
"We have given opportunities to twelve or fourteen players many of whom are under the age of 22. This is good for us and the sort of experience we are gaining with them will help us on Friday night."
"We have a good chance against the Ospreys; they are in the same position as we are. It will be the next generation of stars on show and hopefully it will be an excellent game."
Form:Ospreys last seven games in all competitions have all been won by the home side on the day. The Welshmen are unbeaten at Liberty Stadium since Glasgow Warriors were the visitors on 14 September. Ospreys have won their last four matches against fellow Welsh regions, and have lost only once at home to such a side since 2007.Cardiff Blues ended a four game losing run in the RaboDirect PRO12 with their 14-7 victory over Zebre in Italy on Sunday. The Blues only win over a rival Welsh region in their last seven encounters was 16-5 at the Dragons on 15 September. Ospreys are unbeaten in their last four fixtures with the Blues in all competitions, whilst the Cardiff based outfit have triumphed just once on Ospreys soil since the regions were formed in 2003: 28-9 at Liberty Stadium on 22 December 2005.
The teams:
Ospreys: 15 Richard Fussell, 14 Ross Jones, 13 Tom Isaacs, 12 Andrew Bishop, 11 Eli Walker, 10 Matthew Morgan, 9 Kahn Fotuali'i (c), 8 Joe Bearman, 7 Sam Lewis, 6 George Stowers, 5 James King, 4 Ian Gough, 3 Cai Griffiths, 2 Scott Baldwin, 1 Duncan Jones.

Sutter out, Sutter in
Kent Wilson
June 09 2009 10:56AM
To no one's surprise, Brent Sutter made his departure from the Devil's organization official today. I think we can all agree that his appearing behind the Flames bench in the near future is a fait accompli, yes? The question is: will it be for this coming season or the next? TSN reports that Lamoriello cannot ask for compensation from the Flames under the auspices of this CBA, but is within his rights to refuse to allow Sutter out of his final year (and thus to coach anywhere else this coming season).
I personally find it hard to believe Lucky Lou will stick it to Sutter or the Flames out of spite or hurt feelings, so there's little doubt in my mind (and in the minds of intelligent others) that Brent will be hired to helm the Flames before the month is out.
If the unlikely happens and the cagey old GM sticks to his guns, expect the elder brother to coach the team in the interim - no point in hiring a guy who would doubtlessly be a lame duck the second he stepped into the building.
Besides his various siblings and close proximity to home, Brent has a number of connections to the Flames organization. He coached Dion Phaneuf during his time as a Junior for the Red Deer Rebels and was likely instrumental in pointing the Flames in his direction on draft day. He also played Dustin Boyd on Canada's top line during the '05 WJC, where the team (of course) won gold. Jim Vandermeer was also a player under Brent in Junior.
The fit in Calgary is such a natural one that I wondered aloud back in March why Brent wasn't the Flames coach instead. Turns out I was just few months early.
Not to be an ass, but wasn't Boyd on the 2006 World Junior team that won gold in Vancouver?
2005 was the uber-team during the lockout year. I'm pretty sure Boyd wasn't on that squad, because I've watched that gold medal game on DVD about a dozen times.
Ahh, yeah you're right. Good catch.
June 09 2009, 01:53PM
I wonder if Lamoriello couldn't extract something from the Flames though - he's not called "Loophole" Lou for nothing.
I'll grant that I have no idea how he would manage it, though.
I could totally see Lamoriello being a total ass about this.
Guy has always struck me as "grouchy".
@ Jonathan Willis:
No doubt about it. It's my assumption that Lou will release Brent with a "gentleman's agreement" in place for the Flames to gift them a draft pick or something in the near future.
June 09 2009, 06:32PM
I guess it's not to be. From Matheson's column:
Sutter will not be joining brother Darryl in Calgary. The Flames have been looking for a new coach since Mike Keenan was fired, and speculation was rampant that Brent would take the opportunity to join forces with Darryl, the Flames' general manager. Instead, Darryl will likely handle both duties.

Have you given up on me as a lost cause, Stephen? I was still hoping that you would give some explanation as to your own use of the term "experiential perfect." I'm still not sure I understand its semantic space in your typology, particularly since you say that you place it between resultative and anterior...which is seems to be extremely counter-intuitive to me. I would have put "experiential" as more anterior-like than "current relevance." Can you flesh out the reasoning behind the organization? I really, really want to understand your conceptualization of the system, but thus far all you've given is theoretical without examples.
In other news...
I heard back from Dag Haug. He told me that his "target state" should be viewed as equivalent to Bybee's "resultative" and his "resultant state" as existing as a fuzzy boundary between Bybee's Resultative and Anterior. Or more accurately, I told him that is how I had taken his 2004 labels and asked if it was accurate and he said "definitely yes."
As to the relationship between his discussions of the experiential perfect in his 2004 article and the 2008 article, he said he'd need to think about it.

The best and most loved website for searching Prescott area real estate
Dewey, AZ Golf Homes
Dewey, AZ Ranch Homes
The plaza at the Prescott Courthouse is the center for annual activities, including several craft fairs during the summer, car shows, antique shows, arts & craft exhibits, and Jazz concerts. Tuesday night "Jazz at the Square" has lately become a popular evening-out affair. Young and the young-at-heart alike bring lawn chairs to sit and bask in the evening warmth while listening to live Jazz by some of the area's top musicians. Prescott also boasts the "World's Oldest Rodeo", held each year at the Prescott fairgrounds. Come enjoy some good ol'-fashioned cow roping and mingle with the western culture that is Prescott, AZ.
The Phippen Museum has also recently expanded its space to accommodate more collections of western art. The Phippen Museum is proud to be Prescott's only art museum. The centrally located Sharlot Hall Museum is just a short walk from downtown Prescott. The Sharlot Hall Museum is a collection of the original houses and lifestyle (including the first Governor's Mansion) pieces. Set among beautiful grounds budding with roses, the site has also recently been popular for weddings! The Heritage Park Zoo is also an enjoyable day for the kids! The zoo is a great place to see local wildlife up close. Photographers should bring their cameras to get the best shots of native species that dominate the southwest like javelina (peccary), or the Pronghorn. Both can be seen running about in the forests and plains of Prescott, Prescott Valley and Chino Valley. In fact, the proliferation of the Prescott area Pronghorn have led efforts by city officials to "share the wealth", or success, with neighboring counties. Shortages due to human habitation have caused some Pronghorn populations to dwindle in southern Arizona. Relocation of several dozen Pronghorn may have a positive impact on other herds. Locals are split in their views as many enjoy the presence of North America's fastest land animal.
The Doce Fire, which recently ravaged the Granite Mountain Wilderness area is now the spot of fresh growth! Trails abound for the outdoor enthusiasts! Locals can find plenty to do in the hiking arena. Both front and backside trails exist at Granite Mountain. The front entrance is setup with a small lake reflecting the beauty of Granite Mountain; also home to one of the nation's highest cougar populations. Although rarely seen by hikers in the daytime, the mountain lion is one of North America's most formidable and majestic predators. Be sure to watch for them on any Arizona trails. The "backside" trail can be found by traveling up Iron Springs Road a few miles west of the main entrance. Locally designated as "the Little Granite Trail", the backside trail opens hikers up to the vast expanse and full view of Granite Mountain along with the plains west.
Thumb Butte is also a popular Prescott day-hike destination. With both a 1.2 mile strenuous hike up the front, and a 3 mile hike up the "less strenuous" backside, the mountain is a panorama of Prescott's natural beauty. With views in every direction, hiking Thumb Butte can give visitors a great perspective of what Prescott looks like from above. The trails are easily accessible and the front trail is paved all the way up! Thumb Butte is undoubtedly Prescott's icon. The mountain rises up like a tower at the west end of town. The top of the mountain has been closed off in recent years for Peregrine falcon breeding habitat along with sections of the cliff faces on Granite Mountain. Be sure to check the local websites for information before planning your trip.
Prescott, AZ also has many lakes for the day-hiker and/or fisherman. Both Lynx Lake and Goldwater Lake have traditionally been the spots for locals to fish. Both lakes are set in the pristine forests of Prescott. Lynx Lake takes its name from the creek that forms it, Lynx Creek. Rainbow trout, and bass can be caught in both lakes, but the big attraction are the bald eagles that nest and fish in the lakes. Prescott's eagle population has been increasing in recent years due to careful monitoring by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. Bring your cameras, and maybe you'll capture one of the amazing birds in everybody's hometown! Watson Lake has become a recent and popular destination for locals and visitors to Prescott. Watson and Willow lake are sister lakes amid the famous Granite Dells region. It's hard to beat the monolithic red-rock formations reflected on the blue waters. Even from the highway, visitors can take in the scene that has become an icon, associating Prescott with this landscape. Recently, new trails have been built by the city to allow easy-access from both the park and the Peavine Trail-head. Prescott also has many golf courses for the golf lovers. Although a few are private, most allow access to the public. To find out more information on Prescott's golf courses, click here. Prescott Valley has recently added a hockey arena! Home to the championship team, the Arizona Sundogs, Tim's Toyota Center boasts many activities all year around along with concerts, events, fairs, and of course, the CHL hockey season.

Lasagna lovers, here's a new one for you. It's creamy and delicious!
Improvise! When fresh asparagus is not in season, substitute 3 packages (10 ounces each) frozen asparagus cuts, thawed. There's no need to cook the frozen veggies.
The whipping cream and cheese mixture that tops this recipe forms a pretty golden brown and crispy topping. To "whip" up this topping in a flash, make sure that your cream is as cold as possible and chill the beaters and bowl for a few minutes in the freezer.

Teen Tech Week Events Across the United States
Add your plans for Teen Tech Week here!
Gaming Night and More
- At the Pitkin County Library in Aspen, Colorado we will be hosting a gaming night at the library and highlighting our new YA nonfiction collection which includes several titles on gaming- gaming careers, gaming strategies and game building. We will also introduce our new playaway collection which includes 20 YA titles at the event!
Anime Party
- The Public Library of Mount Vernon and Knox County in Mount Vernon, Ohio will hold a Teen Tech Week Anime Party that will function as the first meeting of our new Anime Club. We will watch the first DVD of the science fiction anime series "Lost Universe". We will also have a guest speaker who lived in Japan come and talk about Japanese culture. As our Anime Club gets going, we hope to help teens learn to make digital animations on their own.
Photography and Social Networking
- The Clermont County Public Library in Clermont County, Ohio is celebrating Teen Tech Week with contests that showcase photography skills and teens' knowledge of social networking emoticons, acronyms and symbols. The winner of the photography contest will have their images printed on Moo mini cards which will be distributed throughout Clermont County publicizing our upcoming Teen Summer Reading Program - "Express Yourself @ your library." Several of our library branches are also hosting Teen Game Nights with our recently purchases Wii consoles.
Teen Tech Bingo
- At the Johnson County Library, we will be playing Teen Tech Bingo! Teens will get a bingo card with a variety of Tech Activities such as create an online comic or create an avatar. Each activity completed marks a bingo spot. Small prizes will be awarded for a bingo. Large prizes will be awarded for a blackout! --Stephanie Iser, Assistant Manger at Oak Park Neighborhood Library of Johnson County Library
Techno-buddies--technology help provided by teens
- Members of the Teen Advisory Board of the Ocean County Library's Lacey branch will provide hour-long tutoring sessions for people who need assistance in programming cell phones, surfing the internet or signing up for an email account. Last year, adults who received assistance were tremendously impressed with the knowledge, communication skills and patience of our teen volunteers. Feel free to ask me for details on this program. --Karla Ivarson, Teen Librarian, Lacey branch of the Ocean County Library (firstname.lastname@example.com)
Hands-on Wikipedia
- We're creating a page for our library on Wikipedia. Teens will learn how to edit wikis (and why teachers won't allow Wikipedia to be a research paper resource), and the library gets more coverage. We'll be adding a link to our town/county wiki pages too. -- Eleanor wood, Adult Librarian at Decatur Public Library.
Resumes, Gaming, and Make your own Computer
- We are starting off TTW with a Resume Help Workshop for teens who are trying to get their first job and need to have a resume. We are also having gaming nights at the Main Library, but the best thing we are doing is a Program on How to Make Your Own Computer that will be happening on Friday. Teens will get to learn how to build a computer from scratch. -- Hannah Berry, Young Adult Librarian, Aurora Public Library - Main Library.
Myspace Matchup
- We're hosting events Monday-Friday, but the most interesting one should be a dating game called Myspace Matchup. Complete with a cheesy host and audience cue cards, the goal of this program is to teach teens about internet safety. We have created three myspace profile look alikes in Microsoft Power Point and written out scripts for our teen bachelorettes. What the teen bachelor doesn't know is that all of the profiles are based on the lives of actual female serial killers. When we've all had our laughs, as I'm sure we will the teens will be presented with tips on staying safe online and information that shouldn't be on their profiles. - Mz. Library Lady, Lakeland Public Library
Music, Guitars and More!"
- The Greenpoint Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library has 5 days of programming for Teen Tech Week. Programming includes Guitar Hero and Rock Band contests, Anime/Manga Club, Teen RIF and Music Appreciation! Since the theme is Press Play, I will be handing out earbuds in celebration of the event. Also, our local Friends group bought about 20 1GB flash drives for the teens as gifts!

Teen Tech Week 2009 Mini Grant Winners' Events
Congratulations to the 20 Teen Tech Week Mini Grant winners!
In celebration of the theme "Press Play @ Your Library", and stemming from an interest among our patrons in music programming and computer games, West Springfield Public Library plans to use the Teen Tech Week grant to purchase a Wii and Rockband for our youth room. The library staff is as excited as the patrons, and we are already thinking about forming a librarian 'band' to challenge the teens. Our high school interns this year planned a CD-sharing event that now occurs monthly at the library called Pump It Up! that has yielded some surprising revelations about what teens are listening to-- Classic rock is so-called for a reason, apparently, and Rockband is sure to be enthusiastically embraced for this, too.
The Normal Public Library in Normal, Illinois will be using the money from the Teen Tech Week Grant to purchase several games for the Wii, including Rock Band, which will enable us to set up a regular gaming program. Our first Game Day will take place during Teen Tech Week, and we hope to continue to have monthly game days at the library. Our teens have expressed a lot of interest in gaming at the library, and we hope that regular gaming events will continue to draw in new teens and help to familiarize them with the library, its staff, and what we have to offer them.
Teen Central at the Hennepin County Library will use our Teen Tech Week Grant a "Party Like It's Teen Tech Week" event to celebrate creative uses of technology by and for teens. The party will be hosted by our Teen Advisory Group from whom the idea for the grant originated. The main event will be a workshop on Circuit-Bending led by Librarian Camden Tadhg, who will be trained by the Science Museum of Minnesota. In having a staff member train for this event, rather than bringing in an outside presenter, we hope to spread this knowledge throughout the Hennepin County Library system with a "train the trainer" model. Additionally, our Teen Tech Squad will work one-on-one with teens in using rich media creation software such as Scratch, GIMP, Audacity, and ArtRage. The highlight of the day will hopefully be a Circuit Bending Jam Session where we will record the teen participants making music with the instruments they create during the Circuit Bending workshop.
Baraboo Public Library in Baraboo Wisconsin will be using our mini grant to improve our teen space in the library. A large, dark brick wall will soon be covered with a bright high-tech mural designed by a local teen artist. Teens will learn how to wire LED lights, construct LED clocks, and make a scrolling marquee as we combine paint, electronic gadgets, and bling bling to create a unique and eye-catching focal point for our teen area.
Passages Academy Library in Brooklyn, NY will be using our mini grant to purchase Nintendo DS systems and games. Because our students are incarcerated by New York City's Department of Juvenile Justice, they are not permitted to use the internet and have little exposure to technology while they are with us. We hope to use these systems to promote visual literacy and as incentive to participate in reading and gaming programs throughout our school library's sites in Brooklyn. It is our intention that these systems will be the beginning of ongoing gaming programs and technology programs at Passages Academy Library. During Teen Tech Week, we will be gathering student responses to the new initiative to better inform future development.
The Hayward Public Library will use the Teen Tech Week mini grant to fund a program called Manga Tech. Many of our teens are budding manga artists, this program will show them how to digitize their work. The library will purchase copies of the Tokyopop Manga Creator Software and manga clip art books. During Teen Tech Week, teens will be introduced to the software, learn graphic novel story structure from a local comic book author and play with the software to create their manga. At the end of the week, we will host a party to share their original manga and play manga related videogames. Manga created using this software will be added to the collection and loaded onto the web.
The Salem Church Branch of the Central Rappahannock Regional Library will use the TTW mini grant to fund a weeklong event, entitled, "Through Teen Eyes: Press Play @ Your Library!" Using the popularity of films and audio-visual experience, we will teach our teen patrons how to use Flip Video camcorders, purchased with grant funds, and the accompanying video-editing software. The teens will use these to record their original films, culminating in a Film Festival to showcase their work. We will begin the exciting week with a visit from a local newspaper movie reviewer, who will talk with the teens about what makes a good movie, and techniques they will want to consider or avoid while writing their screenplays. We anticipate that the films will show the teen world from their perspective, and that future use of the cameras will include making films about how to use new features of the library, as well as videos of programs and special events. Because a large proportion of the teens we serve come from technologically disadvantaged households, we hope that this experience will also help level the tech-playing field for them.
The West Covina Library, in the County of Los Angeles Public Library System, will be using their TTW MiniGrant funds to organize PLAY @ the West Covina Library. Teens will be able to write and tape a trailer about their favorite book, movie, or other library resource using Flip cameras purchased with the grant funds. The trailers will premiere for all library visitors on the last day of TTW, and the trailers will be shown on the television in the Teen Area of the library on a continuing basis.
The Grand Rapids Public Library in Michigan will be using their grant funds to purchase Flip Video cameras for teens to use in developing their YouTube videos on the topic of "It's Easy Being Green". It will also be used to do Twitter booktalks, especially for "Rash" by Pete Hautman, during TTW. Our teen programs are always promoted on Twitter, MySpace and Facebook. Our Facebook account has almost 1000 friends!
ArTech Fun @ the Dorris Van Doren Regional Branch (El Paso Public Library System in Texas) This program combines art and technology through the use of Wacom's Bamboo Fun Tablet. Funds will be used to purchase two digital drawing tablets and a small collection of digital art books to help teens take their art to the next level. Guest speakers will be invited to show teens how to use a digital drawing tablet and talk about their careers. Teens will then be able to reserve time slots to work on two projects. The first project is to create promotional art for the summer reading club and perhaps create an animated short. The second project is to create or upload their own artwork to be showcased in an art show that they plan at the library.
Atlantic Technical Center and Technical High School (Broward County, FL) will be holding a Teen Tech Week "Learn to Podcast" contest. Students may enter in any of the four categories: Pi Day Podcast, PSA (Public Service Announcement), Book Lovers Podcast (Digital Book Talk, Book Trailer), and Demonstration Podcast ("How to…"). All students who enter will receive a free ticket to participate in the school Wii Tournament in April. Winners in each category will receive gift certificates. The Wii Sports Console and contest prizes will be purchased with the minigrant funds from YALSA (Thank you, YALSA!) Tech Workshops will be held during and after school throughout Teen Tech Week for students who need assistance and/or instruction with creating their podcasts. For more information including complete contest and category descriptions, plus rubrics and resources, see the "Teen Tech Week at ATC" page of the ATC Media Center website: [1]

Here's a chart example to demonstrate many of the major themes of the Hellenistic tradition of astrology. In this essay I refrain from outright interpretation and simply discuss how one would see a chart according to the Hellenistic tradition. I choose a person well known to many Americans as both or either a politician and an entertainer.
Rush Limbaugh, according to some (Democrats), was the de facto leader of the Republican Party, yet he has never held elected or appointed office. He is an influential talk-radio host and self-proclaimed spokesperson for the conservative cause. He has been a national figure for the past twenty years. He has helped steer many a political cause, his depictions of liberal politicians can be devastating, and he is not particularly beloved by women. Yet even some liberals find him an entertaining guilty pleasure.
Let's take our time with what we have here. First of all we're seeing his astrological chart using whole sign houses, the original house (or "place" topos) system. In the next image of his chart, to make the contrast more clear, I have deleted the Midheaven degree, which in the ancient tradition was mostly used for predictive purposes. I have included the Ascendant that always falls somewhere in the first house or place.
The Sun and the Moon have been known as the two Lights for a very long time. In Hellenistic astrology, it was advantageous for the Sun and the Moon to have attending planets, just as any earthly royalty should have a court. Early on, it was recognized that the cycle of this pair was extremely important.
