2012: Learning More About The Landscape Of The Lightweight Division
- Written by Rian Scalia
The lightweight division, which we consider to be around 60-63.5kg, has always been living in the shadows of the two main divisions in kickboxing, 70kg and heavyweight. It still is, but 2012 was a big year for the lightweight division.
One of the main problems in evaluating the lightweight division has always been the separation between the fighters in Japan and the fighters in the rest of the world. Since Japan has so many quality fighters in this division, it's always been essential that we see some crossover and that fighters from Japan fight fighters from outside Japan, so we can really just get an overall feel for the landscape of the division. Well, that's started to happen this year with Krush's efforts to bring in foreigners, and to a smaller extent, other Japanese promotions such as RISE. There still really isn't a big stage like K-1 or GLORY where all of the best lightweights can fight on, but compared to the past, what Krush has done this year is a great start and was very much a large factor in LiverKick starting to do rankings for the lightweight division.
Even outside of Japan, there were a lot of meaningful and relevant fights between 60-63.5kg with some of the best fighters fighting each other. France is one of the main fight hubs for lightweight fights, housing Yetkin Ozkul vs. Thomas Adamandopoulos and Thomas Adamandopoulos vs. Karim Bennoui this year, to name a few. France, aside from in my opinion being one of the strongest countries in all of kickfighting, is also one of the strongest when it comes to the lightweight division, which I've been able to determine based on French fighters' results internationally and the quality of fighters domestically. More importantly, Krush forged good relationships with French managers and brought us fights between some of the best French fighters and some of the best Japanese fighters at lightweight, two powerhouses in the division.
Aside from Krush, It's Showtime played their part in putting on Javier Hernandez vs. Masahiro Yamamoto, another very important fight for the rankings of the division. Hernandez alone was involved in quite a few fights that were helpful in evaluating the landscape of the division, notably against Ruben Almeida, against Yuki in RISE, and against Mickael Peynaud. Top lightweights in general have been pretty active this year in regards to fighting each other, and the same goes for fighters sitting outside the rankings that are trying to establish themselves as top fighters. As a result of all this crossover it's become much less of a difficult task to evaluate where lightweights stand amongst each other in kickboxing.
If everyone sticks with what they've said in regards to 2013, next year should be an even better year in establishing not just lightweights but lighter weights below 70kg in kickboxing. Krush is already bringing in foreign fighters for their scheduled January events and there are plans to bring in even more, and possibly even bring Japanese fighters to fight in Europe. K-1 is supposed to be doing 63kg next year and GLORY in turn is doing 65kg, which are the two platforms that can really spark interest in weights below 70kg and attempt to take these weights away from the realms of relative obscurity that they've been in for most of modern kickboxing's existence. 2012 was a good start in that there was finally some crossover created in match-ups internationally. Hopefully it continues throughout 2013.

Below you will find the soundtrack to the first part your week:
Well The Magician unveiled his latest Magic Tape today so we thought it would be a good idea to jump on the bandwagon with the rest of the blogs and share it with you. As always, it features new and currently unreleased tunes and it maintains the level of magical consistency that we've grown to expect from everyone's favorite mix series.
Lee Foss's essential mix? Yes pleeeease. If for some crazy reason you're not familiar with the man (some might say legend) then this 2 hour MASTERPIECE will certainly change that. If you only listen to 1 mixtape in this post it should be this one. Oh…and he's playing this Friday at Satori here in Denver so if you're planning on going to that simply because every one else is and because they're giving away guest list spots like condoms at planned parenthood..then you best educate yourself!!!
As a bonus..I encourage you to check out my November mixtape. It's chock full of some fresh new tunes that I'm sure you will enjoy.
You're welcome. Cheers:)

Technologies like the one used on the Veredus VereMTB (image) lab-on-chip device are revolutionizing the diagnostic industry
Gone would be the days when patients will have to walk-in to their pathologists for diagnosis of a disease and wait for several weeks to get the result for tests conducted by conventional methods. Laboratories are now shrinking to chips that could be as small as thumb size.
Lab-on-chip device is a concept of miniaturized laboratory that comes in a size of credit card and is embedded with network of micro-channels, electrodes, sensors, and electronic circuits. Evolved from micro electro mechanical systems devices, lab-on-chip can replicate all the functions that are being performed in several clinical diagnostics tests.
With an effort to bring the revolutionary platform for faster, accurate and cost effective diagnosis of tuberculosis, Singapore-based Veredus Laboratory recently launched VereMTB, a disposable cartridge that serves as on-chip DNA lab. VereMTB is a multiplexed molecular diagnostic chip capable of fast and accurate detection of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Complex (MTBC).
Its mutations can complete the diagnosis and identify specific mycobacterium causing the infection and drug resistance in less than three hours from natural samples, avoiding the need for culturing, the most time-consuming part of the traditional method. It combines Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) with microfluidics to create a bank of micro-reactor chambers in silicon. Veredus Laboratories launched its first lab-on-chip device, VereFlu, in 2008 for rapid detection of all major influenza types.
Explaining the technicalities of the platform Ms Rosemary Tan, CEO, Veredus Laboratories, mentions that to carry out a diagnosis on lab-on-chip device, its channels are filled with sample DNA taken from the sputum of a suspected TB patient, which is then amplified into a usable quantity through a process called polymerase chain reaction (PCR). The amplified DNA sample then passes into the microchip's microarray-based detection area where its DNA is matched against the DNA of TB, its mutations and non-TB cousins.

One of them pulled me aside, and, noticing my rookie enthusiasm for the job, asked if I thought that the Globe readers who were contacting my office to comment/complain about the paper generally seemed to be full of good-old grassroots wisdom and common sense. When I answered in the affirmative, he shook his head sadly and warned me that in a year, I'd be slamming the phone down and cursing said callers.
There was a certainty in his voice.
Part internal-affairs cop, part complaint department, American news ombudsmen are truly a unique breed. They work in what has often been considered one of journalism's most thankless jobs: getting an earful from angry (and sometimes crazed) readers and getting the cold shoulder from angry (and sometimes crazed) colleagues whom they dared to criticize, usually gently, in their columns. In addition, ombudsmen frequently toil in the shadow of public suspicion since they are paid by the same news outlets they are charged with independently evaluating.
For the record, I was the Globe ombudsman for a little more than two years, from 1995 to 1997. It's fair to say that being an ombudsman or public editor or readers' representative is not for everyone.
In his new book, Public Editor #1, Dan Okrent recounts his career as the first ombudsman (or, as they call it, "public editor") at the New York Times. His introductory chapter is titled "Notes On An Unendearing Profession" in which he recounts a telling anecdote about his introductory meeting with Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr.
What was the first question Sulzberger asked of the first person to be paid solely to publicly evaluate the paper's performance?
"Why on earth would you want to do this?"
Last month, after a little less than a year on the job, Globe ombudsman Richard Chacón — a good guy who saw the job as a chance to create better dialogue between the paper's journalists and its readers — abruptly left the post to become communications director for Democratic gubernatorial candidate Deval Patrick, a gig that might not last past primary day. Although he didn't say so, it's fair to assume that Chacón was less than enthralled by some of the less pleasant chores of the ombudsman's office.
Even the acronym for the umbrella group — the Organization of News Ombudsmen — is the rather lamentable "ONO," which, let's face it, is an exclamation usually uttered when someone acknowledges a terrible mistake (or a noun referring to the destructive force behind the break-up of the world's greatest band).

This is the part Mike has been looking forward to: We were off to the big USA Air Show at St George where for the first time in 12 months an F22 Raptor fighter jet worth $150 million dollars would do its "stuff" as well as the world famous Blue Angels in 6 x FA18 hornets doing the most amazing stunts imaginable
Mike called the Air Show manager who told us the closest area would be at least 4 miles (7kms) away on a dirt road just into Arizona. We drove there, a huge treeless, dusty area, parked the RV, (the only lonely RV here) unhooked the car, and went for a drive to see where the air show was being held. Unbeknown to me, Mike was thinking that maybe we could find somewhere closer.
About half a mile from the airport we came across an area where there were a couple of tents and an information booth..... Mike asked if we could park our RV on this site for the duration of the show. It was set aside for 500 boy scouts & Leaders who were volunteers at the show, and were going to camp here, so unfortunately it was not possible. No sooner had we got back to the RV, Mike informed me "We are moving, follow me in the car". Off we went,
onto the freeway, (he almost ran off the road, trying to watch the Blue Angels who were practicing overhead) and drove within 200 metres of the Scout camp ..
He actually suggested we ride our bikes to the show, as he knew there would be a lot of traffic.... It was the first of this type of event for St George. The thought of somehow carrying our folding chairs, and backpack with cameras, lunch etc, and riding along the freeway looking like a flying fowlhouse is not my thing, so I managed to talk him into driving, get a park & then maybe riding bikes, if it was a long way to walk. (I was hoping not to use the bikes at all!!) Also the weather forecast was for wind, rain and possibly snow, so a good reason NOT to ride
On Saturday morning, we got up all ready to go to the show, and as we left the RV, some
men were putting up barriers, ready for the traffic, and they informed us that we would be fined, and maybe towed, or have our wheels clamped if the RV stayed there. They were very nice, but just gave us the info from the police. To just up & move from this place, would be quite a feat, considering all the bumper to bumper traffic heading to the show
inform the police. Mike had already put a sign in the window of the van, giving his phone number to ring, as well as saying the van had an alarm!! (it does, just not connected to anywhere) He had an Australian cap on with a 'crown & anchor' badge from the Caribbean cruise ship & pointed it out to the council workers as if it was a 'scout badge', and then rang 'Constable Jace ' of the Logistics Utah Police department, gave our rego & phone number and
let him know why we were parking there. Hmmmmm so far so good!!
Then of course we don't go on the road that 50,000 others are using to get to the air-show as there was a huge line up.....we get in line with the scouts, and follow them up to the show....a police officer was stopping each of the cars in front of us, and when it came to us he said, 'You don't look like you're with the scouts', ... once again Mike points to his hat
badge, and said that we are following the scouts, (not a lie, as that was exactly what we were doing) and asked for directions to the carpark
typical Australian terms, no worries Mate, Cobber & talks about the weather, the days events, asks how his mother is, & whether he has a cat or dog, and chats like a long lost friend, so in the end we were waved through, even though I think the police officer did have doubts, seeing our bikes on the back of car, & Mike with no scout uniform on. THEN....it doesnt finish there, ... just in case anyone rings him about the RV, Mike put a message on his phone stating that he was at an event which involved the international scout assoc, and may not be able to hear his phone as he is at the air show. The funny thing is that radio 5AA rang him for an interview, and as we had no phone signal they would have received this odd message .... and must have thought ... "What else is this guy into!!! "
Now before you all jump to conclusions & think that Mike told some big whoppers, let me tell you how his mind works......
Back in 1969 when Michael was just 11 years old he went to 2 Scout meetings with a
school friend and distinctly remembers that the Scout Master said that Scouts are a worldwide organisation where you are invited for life to be a part of any function anywhere in the world ..
Anyway, no-one rang, our wheels weren't clamped, we didn't receive a fine, and we had 3 nights of free parking.
Now a bit about the show itself, for you guys who love the sound of jets, engines, etc.
The Yanks really know how to put on a show, we have been to some airshows before, but nothing like this. As always, being very patriotic, they started with the national anthem, and everyone stood with hand on their heart & sang loud
The roar of engines, (& it was loud!!) the skill of the pilots, as they performed the stunts, near misses, fast & slow fly by's, and flying the jets straight up, till they almost disappeared into the clouds was amazing. Mike just revelled in the sounds, the tank battles, and the non-stop
action, and he also enjoyed chatting to some of the pilots. As always, he started talking about Israel, asking one of the crack USA pilot's if it was true that the Israeli pilots are among the most elite. Although this American pilot didn't like to admit it, he had to say "They are the best in the world". I have to say, that I also enjoyed the day, even though it was bitterly cold, and we could see it snowing on the mountains.
We also witnessed a lady who went up on a bi-plane, and was strapped to the wing, as it did stunts, flips, rolls and all manner of manoeuvres. She is known as a professional wing walker, and it was something I thought I could do as a part time job, when I get back. We got some
photos & films of Boofie & Dummar on a tank and with a couple of army sergeants.
The only negative about the day was that NO-ONE sold any hot drinks
Anyway hope you enjoy the photos & film clips of our time in St George.
Next blog - Zion National Park - One of our favourite places in USA.
Anyway thats all, Bye for now, thanks for reading the blog, and for your comments, keep safe
and well, God bless....Miss you all.

There are some things you don't publish until certain family members have passed on. There is no need to spoil the image of their grandfather who they considered a hero of the Civil War because we was wounded and eventually discharged prior the surrender of General Robert E. Lee to General U.S. Grant at Appomattox Court House, April 9, 1865. The truth is Daniel R. Woodward received his injuries when he fell over a stump in Camp.
Daniel's federal Civil War Invalid pension application provides a great deal of information about his enlistment.[1] We learn that
Daniel R Woodward served under Col. James Pike, Company E, 16th New Hampshire Infantry. When Daniel enlisted at Franklin, New Hampshire on 12 September 1862 for 9 months he was described as a thirty-nine year old man who stood five feet nine and on-half inches tall, had a light complexion, blue eyes, and dark hair. He was a stonecutter by trade. Daniel was mustered into service as a private, 23 October 1862 at Concord, New Hampshire. Muster rolls for the unit indicate that he was present in January and February, 1863; present, March and April 1863; and sick in hospital at New Orleans since March 6th. The muster our roll dated 20 August 1863 reports him discharged at Charity Hospital in New Orleans and he was given a certificate of disability.
While on night guard duty at Camp Parapet near Carrollton, Louisiana, Daniel sustained injuries to a knee and ankle when he fell over a stump in camp about the 25th of January 1863. He was discharged, 3 May 1863 at Charity Hospital, New Orleans. Daniel also claimed that subsequent to the fall he had suffered chronic diarrhea and rheumatism. In an affidavit dated 26 April 1881, Daniel listed of, no less than, twenty-six times that he had been incapacitated for a period of five to thirty or more days in succession when he was sick.
Daniel Russell Woodward was born 10 April 1833 in Salisbury, Merrimack County, New Hampshire,[2] son of Daniel S and Dorcas (Adams) Woodward.[3]
I've just found a copy of the History of the Sixteenth Regiment, New Hampshire Volunteers.[4] I'm looking forward to reading it. Hopefully, I'll learn how the 16th NH traveled from New Hampshire to Louisiana.
A copy of a delayed marriage record is located within Daniel's pension record. The delayed record was recorded in Concord, New Hampshire and stated that the marriage was conducted in Lowell, Massachusetts. For years I sought, to no avail, for that marriage record in Lowell (and nearby communities), and the Massachusetts state vital records. I searched every variant spelling of Woodward, but I never searched the indexes for the bride, Laura Davis until late August of 2005. I remember that day well, because while I was going over my lecture notes on the Lowell Mill Girls for a presentation later in the day at the FGS annual conference in Boston, I took a break. I think Laura was sending me a message telling me to forget Daniel and search for her. Eureka! The surname of Daniel and his father were recorded as "Woodbury" and not Woodward. I originally located the record at NewEnglandAncestors.com
Daniel Woodward and Laura Davis were married in Lowell, Massachusetts, 30 January 1854, by Baptist clergyman, Rev. Howe. Laura, a resident of Franklin, New Hampshire, was the daughter of Lewis and Nancy [Glines] Davis. [5] Family tradition indicates that Daniel and Laura were working at the mills in Lowell, Massachusetts, when they wed. This is probably so, since "operative" appears as an occupation on the Lowell marriage register.
Laura and Daniel had eight children. In an affidavit on 6 July 1896, Daniel listed the seven still living with their birth dates.[6]
- Emma Jane Woodward, born 28 September 1854.
- Frank Daniel Woodward, born 12 May 1868.
- Annie Laura Woodward, born 2 June 1865.
- Wellington Russell Woodward, born 14 December 1866.
- Grace Gertrude Woodward, born 12 august 1869.
- Agnes Mabel Woodward, born 2 May 1874.
- Florence (Flossie) Maud Woodward, born 28 June 1877, and died 21 December 1893.[7]
- Oscar Herman Woodward, born 18 January 1880.
Prior to the Civil War, Daniel was occupied as a stonecutter or marble worker,[8] a trade he learned from his father Daniel S. Woodward
Family papers contain several obituaries from unidentified newspaper clippings. I'm including images of an obit of Flossie and one for Daniel R. who died 6 January 1910.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I'm headed down Feb 2 for a couple of weeks, I'm staying in Double Bay. Don't catch them all.
Good luck to you. I hope the temps go up and the wind settles down.
FYI - the flies that I caught the big bones on were tan and white #4 clousers that I tied. I experimented with some darker and larger flies and had no problems.
I'm now a believer in presentation, presentation, presentation more than color or size.
BTW - the celeb named C Lo Green has been renting a house near Tippy's. He's had dinner there a few times, was at the fish fry and used the chef from Pascals. He might be filming a music video.
Thanks for posting the report Marty.
I have a friend that's been on the island a couple of weeks and just sent me a report that reads much like yours.
I'm headed down in the morning for a couple of weeks and hoping the wind will subside at least a little bit. I've been looking at that southern portion of Savanna Sound on Google Earth and had it on my list of places to explore. I fished down there with a guide from a boat a few years ago where I caught "mudding" fish but not too much sight casting opportunities that day til we went across the fished the shoreline along Windermiere. I hope to check it out this trip and will report to you how that turns out.

Eleuthera Report 1/13-1/20/2013
Good afternoon everyone.
Here's a short report regarding Eleuthera last week.
Temps were low 70's to 81 with strong (12-17 mph) easterlies finishing up with a northerly which brought in a squall.
Overall it was more of week of exploring rather than catching a lot of fish. The Atlantic side was blowing too hard for sight fishing and too tiresome to blind cast.
It wasn't all bad. Caught my largest so far at 23"-24" and estimated at 6.5 lbs in Savannah Sound and another near that size at Rock Sound the following day.
Tried the flats on the south side of the road that leads to Windermere Island. It looks very fishing with lots of sign and has a bottom similar to deep creek. Hooked many small baracuda there but no bones. And no sightings either. I'll keep trying it.
Deep Creek didn't produce for me either but I didn't have a chance to spend the right amount of time there. It was tough everywhere.
Overall caught runners, grunts and a large mutton snapper and even a 7 inch turbot (looks like a flounder) in the creek connecting Winding Bay with Half Sound. The bones I caught were large and it seemed like very few fish were around. It may have been colder temps but not sure.
I got a follow from a 3.5' baracuda at Savannah Sound with a refusal.
Maybe another trip in March or Arpil will bring more luck.
Another few months and the stripers will be back.

Steamboat Springs Editor's note: Longtime Pilot & Today columnist Jean Wren, who compiled The Way it Was, has died. Her contributions will be sorely missed. The Pilot & Today will be reprinting a selection of Jean's previous columns.
March 7, 1923
Alarming reports reached Steamboat concerning the mishap which struck the passenger train which left here Saturday morning. One rumor being that the train had been struck by a snowslide on "the hill" and swept down the mountainside, many people being injured. As a matter of fact, the train was derailed and two coaches turned over. The accident was on South Boulder Creek, east of Rollinsville, about 40 miles west of Denver. There were no injuries more serious than cuts from broken glass. The passengers rolled and fell to the right-hand side of the cars, heads, arms and legs going through the double windows.
Attorney J.M. Childress of Steamboat Springs was standing in the aisle of the smoker when the mishap occurred and he found himself standing on his head, his shoulders through a broken window. One hand was slightly cut, but his hat protected his face and head from the glass. R.I. Gwillim of Oak Creek, who was also in the smoker, landed on his feet, standing erect on the ground, with his body through a window. Mrs. Russell Baer of Steamboat was occupying a seat on the left-hand side of the parlor car and was able to retain a hold upon the arm and protect herself. Instead of creating a panic, the accident was accepted as a joke.
The first sound heard after the noise of the fall was a general laugh and a sigh of relief that it had not been worse.

E.H. McClenahan, state prohibition director, reports that he sent officers to Oak Creek Feb. 26 and that the next morning the proposed raid did not materialize. It ended at the same time. McClenahan claims that there was a tipoff.
The liquor was disposed of, at least it appears so, the men didn't find any.
"I venture to say that at this time Colorado is the driest state in the United States," McClenahan said.

Christ Church, near Jerusalem's Jaffa Gate, was the first Protestant church in the Middle East, established in the nineteenth century, when the winds of modernity first began to blow in this ancient land.
Christ Church was built by the Church of England following the purchase of the land in 1833, in what was and still is an excellent location. It holds regular services in several languages and runs a charming guesthouse.
From an architectural point of view, it is a very unusual house of prayer. Neo-Gothic in style, it contains no overt Christian symbols, but rather is replete with Old Testament ones. The intricate stained glass windows, for example, depict some of the Seven Species of Deuteronomy 8:8 and other Old Testament themes; the Ten Commandments are inscribed in Hebrew behind the wooden altar and paneling behind the altar is reminiscent of the Torah ark in a synagogue.

Recall -- Firm Press Release

Win Luck Trading Inc. Issues Allergy Alert on Undeclared Eggs in Lam Sheng Kee's Shrimp Balls, Lobster Balls and Fish Package Eggs and Fresh Fish Cakes
Wendy Zhu
(201) 332-8878
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - May 29, 2013 - WIN LUCK TRADING INC. of Bayonne, NJ, is recalling all lots of Lam Sheng Kee's 7 ounce packages of Shrimp Balls, Lobster Balls, Fish Package Eggs and Fresh Fish Cakes because they may contain undeclared eggs. People who have allergies to eggs run the risk of serious or life-threatening allergic reaction if they consume these products.
The recalled Lam Sheng Kee's Shrimp Balls, Lobster Balls, Fish Package Eggs and Fresh Fish Cakes were distributed in retail stores in New York and West Virginia during January 2013 to March 2013.
The products come in 7 ounce, printed plastic packages with the following codes:
Shrimp Balls - UPC 6949682804640
Lobster Balls - UPC 6949682804602
Fresh Fish Cakes - UPC 6949682804589
Fish Package Eggs - UPC 6949682804633
No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this problem.
The recall was initiated after it was discovered that the egg-containing product was distributed in packages that did not reveal the presence of eggs. Subsequent investigation indicates the problem was caused by lack of translation of scientific name to common name of Albumin.
Consumers who have purchased Lam Sheng Kee's 7 ounce packages of Shrimp Balls, Lobster Balls, Fish Package Eggs and Fresh Fish Cakes are urged to return them to the place of purchase for a full refund. Consumers with questions may contact the company at 201-332-8878. (Monday to Friday, 10AM-5PM, Eastern Time Zone).

Besides introducing popular products and amusements like the zipper, the Ferris wheel and the ice cream cone, the World's Fair offered an opportunity for nations to polish their images before the world.
The fairs were the place for countries to show off their creativity and innovation, art and industry. So successful was the Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of all Nations, as it was properly named, that cities vied to host them throughout the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The influence of these World's Fairs in shaping consumer taste is the theme of a substantial new exhibition opening this Saturday at the Nelson-Atkins Musuem that's getting some international attention.
Inventing the Modern World: Decorative Arts at the World's Fairs runs through August 19th at the Nelson-Atkins Museum. By the way, like our Local Show Facebook page and look for a chance to win a pair of passes to the exhibit.

I had to run to some of the stores to return figures and had to pop into Toys R Us. I started browsing through the figures on the pegs and didn't even notice it at first. Then I looked over and there it was: the Disturbance at the Lars Homestead. It was the only one sitting on the shelf (actually, it was sitting on top of one of the Arena Beast things that won't sell; it didn't even have its own spot), so of course I had to buy it. It is big and beautiful. I am so going to have to pull out my T-16 and bull's-eye the womp rat at least once.
The next destination was Wal-Mart. There I found the only first day foil I was missing (EVO trooper) even though the cardboard is a little wavy. I also noticed they had some of the new Star Wars cases still sealed and all piled up Jenga-style in the middle of the aisle. I not-so-subtly went over and found the one I was interested in: the EU Comic 2-packs. They had an Evolutions box too, but I already had all of those. So I cut the comic pack box open and was able to get the rest of the comic packs from the Cade Skywalker/Darth Talon/Dengar/etc. wave.
All in all a pretty good day. I'm liking the Lars Homestead. Inside is a table and it has a "removable roof" for easy access. The moisture vaporator is a nice touch. The paint on Uncle Owen's face is a little odd. It looks like he has brown streaks down the side of his mouth and huge gray bags under his eyes. And of course, Owen and Beru have very little articulation (not that they really did much anyway). I like how they sculpted Owen's one hand into a pointing finger, like he's chastising the sandtrooper.

Like most people on vacation, you run amok with your digital camera knowing that you can delete the photos you don't like later. You know what happens next: You don't delete anything. You come home, download the photos from your camera to your computer, and then publish every last one of them to Shutterfly. Now everybody on your friend list is slogging through the blurry outtakes of you with your eyes closed.
The alternative isn't to waste hours editing your photos down to a more manageable, audience-worthy bunch. Try these tips to get it done in a few minutes. (Your friends and family will thank you.)
Step No. 1: Tag the good photos.
After you download your pics to your computer, scan them quickly and mark the good ones. If you use Windows Vista or a more recent version of Windows, you can assign keywords -- which are called tags -- to files. Tag the good ones with "Good" or "Share" or anything you want. If you have a Mac, you can label files by doing a two-finger tap on the file name and selecting a color (or get a third-party app like Tags). Then, just drag the good photos to a subfolder.
If you have five shots of yourself holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa, pick just one. Don't agonize over this part. Nobody will be as enamored with your vacation photos as you are.
Step No. 2: Batch-edit your photos.
If you have local photo-editing software -- such as Lightroom, Photoshop Elements or Aperture -- you can apply edits to all of your photos with a single command. This is called batch editing, and it's ideal for functions such as removing red-eye, converting to black-and-white or bumping up your exposure when your images are too dark. You just tell the program where your photos are, select an action and sit back. In a few minutes, the software does the work for you. You can take advantage of batch editing with some online photo services too, such as Google's Picasa.
Step No. 3: Reduce photo file size.
I set my camera to take big photos because I want the option to make large prints of the good ones, so each file is at least 2 MB. That's great for posterity -- but not so great for sharing. Fortunately, batch editing can step in here too. I can tell my editing software to reduce photo sizes by 50 percent, and it will do the heavy lifting for me in a matter of minutes. At the same time, I can tell it whether to overwrite the existing photos or create copies (copies, please), adjust the levels and sharpen. When it's done, I have manageably sized photos that I can upload quickly or email without eating up precious bandwidth on friends' devices.
Step No. 4: Upload all photos at once.
Wherever your files are headed, don't send them there one at a time. Pretty much every major photo site now offers batch uploading, which means you can select as many photos as you want and click "Upload" just once. If you're using Flickr, you can download a third-party desktop tool that will send files to the site with all the data -- title, description, tags, sets -- that you've already designated.

I have been keeping an eye on this brilliant idea from boutique urban vinyl pop culture company Super7 since I heard about it last year, and the production pieces were shown off at SDCC this year, which I got the honor to photograph:
The idea comes from the canceled 3.75" Alien movie line, whose prototypes were shown at Toy Fair in 1979 and then lost to time, but through brilliant detective work and dedication to creating new product that was true to the 1970s Star Wars and Alien action figure styling, Super7 has brought 5 figures inspired by that line out as a new line that goes beautifully with classic Kenner Star Wars figures, right down to the size of the foot-pegholes and stands.
Super7 isn't one of the big boys, yet their SDCC-exclusive "discovered salesman sample" unpainted Alien and Kane 2-pack had so much demand that the fire marshal shut down their line on PREVIEW NIGHT twice, and they ran out of the exclusive before the first true day of the con. So Super7 has really made a splash with this series, and it looks like they'll be doing Aliens figures as well. Check it out, I think there's some SW crossover appeal.

"You can't play what you don't see."
"Before you make a move, make sure it cannot be defeated by a check, capture, or threat."
"More pawns in the middle are good."
"Never trade something for nothing."
"If you are going to study openings, you may as well pick a sharp one where knowing more than your opponent is helpful."
"Chess is all about making decisions; if you don't want to take the time to make better decisions you can't make better moves."
"The average value of the pieces is different in the endgame than it was in the opening and middlegame."
"In the endgame the king's fighting value is about four pawns."
"Think of the exchange as being worth about half a piece."
"The trick to improving is to find a way to not make the same mistakes over and over."
"Always play with confidence, aggression, and respect for your opponent's ideas."

Material/Production: Gelcoat–Sandwich
On Land:
The first big difference in comparison to last year's model is noticeable when you lift up the board: instead of 7.1 KG, it only weighs now 6.2 KG. Also, there is the characteristic channel along the rails, which allows for a rounder deck contour. The foot straps are relatively hard but are now easy to adjust for big feet and can be altered in seconds via one Velcro stripe only. No additional screwdriver is needed for the fin in the US–Box, the one that comes along for the foot straps works.
On Water:
Within the first few meters it is noticeable that the cure has done the Starboard way: The new Flare feels by far, more lively and agile than the model from the previous year. The board planes early and accelerates to top speed with only a little sheeting in. In comparison to last year, the Starboard feels free and sporty. The rounded deck dome gives a comfortable feel in the upwind position, without putting stress on the ankles.
Short characteristic:
Starboard improved a lot compared to the previous year model – agile, sporty and extremely well balanced. Everybody can use the board. It doesn't matter if you are a Classic or New school Trickster, a lightweight or heavy weight sailor. The flare convinces predominantly through user range, it belongs with out doubt to the best free style boards of 2009.
Surf–tip: top–all–rounder

George Bashian founded Bashian Rugs in 1931, at the height of the Great Depression. Many Americans couldn't even afford food and clothing, let alone luxurious, imported floor coverings. Despite the harsh economic climate, Bashian Rugs prospered — thanks in large part to Bashian's remarkable ability to spot designs that deeply resonated with the public. Today George Bashian Jr. runs the family business, which offers wool and silk floor coverings imported from China, Nepal, India, Iran, and Pakistan. Chinese decorative painting, geometric shapes, European textiles, and architecture are among the many sources of inspiration for Bashian's hand-knotted, hand-tufted, hand-loomed creations. Popular series include the Chelsea — bright-colored rugs featuring contemporary designs and a subtle abrash — and the Wilshire's tufted styles made from New Zealand blended wool. Bashian's one-of-a-kind rugs will bring opulence to any room and stand the test of time.

ill guppy-appears bitten-help
I have what I believe to be a male yellow-tailed guppy in a 20 gallon long. I have noticed what seems to be a pretty obvious crescent-shaped, what appears to be, bite mark in the top of his head behind his eye. Looking at him top-down, his head looks swollen, gray and rectangular (not the normal, slimmer, oval) guppy shaped head. The rest of his head is lumpy and some scales protrude outward from his head. The only other bigger fish I have in the tank that might be responsible are a wagtail platy and a lyretail Mollie and black Mollie. Should u medicate or remove the I'll fish ?
its better to remove the fish to a hospital tank and medicate there - this way healthy fish don't have to be medicated, you can monitor the effect of the medication on the sick fish better, plus the sick fish does not suffer any stress from other tank mates. Better odds for recovery all the way around.

If it's a bite mark, then regular fresh water might help - keeping it in a QT with maybe 2 large water changes a day might help it heal - if it appears infected, there are antibiotics available - I apologize I can't recommend one due to lack of experience but I would try my 1st suggestion before putting meds into the tank.
the addition of a fair quantity of salt could help too. guppies like hard water and sometimes even brackish, and the salt can also help
slow down any pathogens that might infect the wound otherwise.

Support the eruv
Original post made by Eruv is up, Palo Verde, on Sep 10, 2007
Over time, the effect wil be profound. We thank Hashem that we were able to
reach this milestone.
Now we need to pay off the debt that was incurred to speed up construction. The
total for the Eruv, which included a whopping $20K in one-time permit fees, was
over $150,000. The debt we still owe involves just under $100,000.
There are five people who have indicated a willingness to give even $10,000 each
but they have asked that their contributions be matched by smaller contributions
from a wide distribution throughout the community. One such $10,000 contribution
has already been matched. Now we must cover the rest.
The levels of giving are the following:
Builder: $10,000 -- there are three donors in this category already, and four
more who have pledged at this level.
Pillar (pole sponsor): $2,500 -- there are already seven donors who contributed
at this level. There are, of course, 44 poles.
Stepping-up: $1,000 -- there have been six contributions at this level
Friend: $500 -- there have been 37 contributions at this level, and another 26
Friends who came in at levels up to $500.
The goal from the beginning has been to have 100 Friends of the Eruv. Because of
the wide benefit, we are looking for wide participation.
Contributions should be sent to the Palo Alto Community Eruv (PACE), a separate
POBox 60675

Are you posting here to ask for money or are you starting a new thread for discussion?
The money for this should be raised through the various synagogues, not in a public forum.
However, it is good to know the cost of this. I hope you manage to raise the money. I have a question, is the new JCC part of the Eruv?
If so, Lucas Light & Magic may help out because they are backing the JCC.

Glad to hear the Eruv is up. Sad to hear that fact in Town Square. It will only accelerate the inevitable. It will be vandalized.
In other Eruv threads posters have boasted they will vandalize it..... Remember, this is Liberal Secular Palo Alto.
Hope ?? is right and ILM can provide some funding. Sad truth, you are going to need the $$$ for maintenance.....

This should never have been allowed, it is a clear violation of the separation of church and state, particularly an intrusion when this is allowed, but Chistmas decorations are not.
I would not be surprised to see this vandalized in protest, so you are certainly going to need to check it every week, both before each Sabbath and afterwards to see if it was vandalized during that.

Joe, interesting and sad to hear that you think that militant citizens of PA would vandalize something like an eruv. Any idea who the odious zealots would be? I'm sure the community does check it regularly (I know that is true for other eruvs).
RZ, the difference between an eruv and Christmas decorations or a Buddha is pretty evident. An eruv is nearly invisible; moreover, my understanding is that it does not represent any sacred object or concept - it represents a wall (creeks and cliffs also commonly serve the purpose), so that certain tasks can be performed "indoors." It is practical, not holy. If other religious groups have un-obtrusive, practical requirements, I believe they should be accommodated as well.
I am glad to hear the eruv is up!

Some of the most beautiful buildings and art in the world are of a religious theme or practice. These are to be cherished much more than some of the so called art in Palo Alto.

Youre the one arguing against the existence of God while presupposing He exists, not me. You made an appeal to people making decisions and yet if your atheism were true peoples decisions would be already pre-determined in accordance to natural law. So you were appealing to something that can only be true if God existed and trying to use it to argue against Gods existence.
You are presenting trap arguments or you are trying to turn debates into traps. Your requirement to presuppose the existence of god before I can argue that he does not exist is a completely wrong use of a presupposition.
No, I was pointing out that you trapped yourself by your own argument. You made an appeal to something that could not be true if atheism were true and yet you were using it to argue for atheism; thats called a self-refuting argument, I merely pointed out you were using it.
Let's make it easier for the insane. My opinion is that God does not exist, nor has he ever existed, nor will he ever exist. Now you can plaster your version of 'presuppose' where the sun does not shine (presupposition: The sun shines).
Well you are free to have the opinion that God does not exist just as much as someone is free to have the opinion that air doesnt exist, opinions do not prove anything though. As soon as you try arguing that God in fact does not exist you begin to resort to self-refutation exactly like someone who begins trying to argue that air doesnt exist. That is where I must step in and point the self-refutation out.
Sadly you are quite long on assertions and rather short on argumentation, I already gave an example of how Phins_4_Ever was appealing to something that could not be true if his atheism were true, that in itself is an inconsistency, but couple that with the fact that he was appealing to that very thing in order to try and prove his atheism were true and we have ourselves a self-refuting argument. If youre an atheist you cannot appeal to human decision or choice because there is no room for it in a purely natural universe.
Not exactly, his problem was that he merely made an assertion (only the Universe exists), which doesnt prove anything. So he can either make an assertion which doesnt prove anything either way, or he can try to form an actual argument. The only problem is that logical argumentation relies on presuppositions that can only be true if God exists, so we see the atheist is really in a bind, prove nothing or refute his own position.
The posts this guy comes up with ARE such utter drivel.
Fixed that for you.
Again, you just made another assertion, you can try to make an argument to support your position and I can show you how you presuppose God in the argument or you can continue to stick your fingers in your ears and pretend I am the one ignoring the facts, its up to you.

All your self delusional nonsense are the by product of one of mans failings, hubris.
I presupposed that he exist? Are you kidding me?Youre the one arguing against the existence of God while presupposing He exists, not me.
You are using presupposition in a contradictory format which does not exist at all.
I.e. You say that Irish said that the Universe exists and you continue on to say that it doesn't prove anything because it is just an opinion and to make it true he has to presuppose that God exists. This is only true to those who believe that God exists.
In Irish's case:
The Universe exists. God does not exist.
a) The Universe exists.
Presupposition: The Universe was created.
b) God does not exist.
Presupposition: He has never met God, nor has he spoken to God, nor are there any eyewitnesses to God's existence.
The Universe exists. God does not exist.
Presupposition: The Universe was created but not by God.
A presupposition is a precondition which has to exist to make a statement true. A presupposition is not an additional statement which contradicts the original statement in order to prove it. That's what you are doing. You can never prove a statement with a contradictory preconditional statement because if the contradictory statement would be true what is the point of making another statement.
What you don't understand is that the burden of proof that God exists or existed lies with you. You have to proof that he existed. You cannot turn around and make us use contradictory preconditions to prove our point because of your inability and lack of evidence to prove his existence.
Everything you have posted in this thread is based on this premise "I, Statler, throw some **** up against the wall and you scratch it of and proof to me that it was whipped cream". And when we scratch it off and prove too you that it was **** you come up with the notion: "To prove that it was **** you have to presuppose that it was whipped cream in the first place because I said so."

Wait...if Im understanding Statler here, and admittedly I only skimmed the post, God exists because you have to assume he exists to disprove God? What?
Nobody can prove God doesnt exist anyway. Just like how you cant prove he does exist. I know you think you can, but you cant.

American presidential transition is theme of King Day event
Posted January 7, 2009; 05:42 p.m.
Princeton will commemorate the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. with its annual King Day celebration Monday, Jan. 19, in Richardson Auditorium of Alexander Hall. The event, which is free and open to the public, will start with musical selections at 1 p.m.
The theme of this year's program follows the hotly contested presidential election and asks, "If he were alive today, what would Dr. King most want our newly elected president to be concerned about?"
The event will include the presentation of awards to essay, poster and video contest winners in grades 4 through 12 from area schools. The students submitted entries in which they assumed the role of a cabinet member advising the president on a key issue that would be of particular interest to King. The names of the contest winners will be posted on the University's King Day website, and many of the posters also will be on display Jan. 19.
During the program the University will present the MLK Day Journey Award, which recognizes a member of the Princeton faculty, staff or student body who best represents King's continued journey. The event also will include a performance by Oasis Youth Steel Pan Ensemble, which is part of the Oasis Folk Arts Academy program in Newark, N.J.
The keynote address will be delivered by Hugh Price, the John Weinberg/Goldman Sachs Visiting Professor of Public and International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.
Price, who began a five-year appointment at Princeton this academic year, is the former head of the National Urban League. He has dedicated his life to advocating for civil rights and equal opportunity. During his time at Princeton, he will lead courses that explore the many ways in which governments, foundations and nonprofit organizations can use their resources and influence to address social issues.
In addition to serving as president of the National Urban League for nearly a decade, Price has been a vice president of the Rockefeller Foundation focusing on at-risk youth, a senior vice president of the Thirteen/WNET public television station in New York and a member of the editorial board of The New York Times, writing about education and criminal justice. Price is the recipient of many honorary degrees and awards.
The King Day event will be webcast live on the WebMedia site. It is convened by the University's Martin Luther King Day Committee and is coordinated by the Office of the Provost and the Office of Human Resources. For more information, visit the King Day website.

A View from the Bridge
Though rarely described this way, engineering is the bridge between the sciences and humanities. Simply put, engineers apply scientific principles to advance the human condition. Their success relies as much upon an understanding of physics and math as an appreciation of history and psychology. Engineering bridges the limits dictated by science (e.g., the laws of thermodynamics) with the limitless nature of human talents and passions.
It is a shame that engineering is not usually put into this context. Instead engineers are often portrayed as über-science introverts or as nerdy tinkerers. Is it any wonder that only about 5% of college graduates in this country are choosing engineering as their major?
It is going to take a great deal of effort to change the populist notions about engineering, especially as an education. Not all history majors become historians; not all chemistry majors become chemists; and certainly not all engineering majors pursue careers as professional engineers. But engineering majors have invested in an education that ties the sciences to the humanities, develops quantitative thinking, and teaches design and problem solving in the face of incomplete knowledge. Engineering is the quintessential liberal education for the technologically driven world in which we live.
And given that a bridge is only as sturdy as its footings, it is hard to imagine a more ideal setting for the study of engineering than at Yale, where even geographically we are located between the humanities and the sciences. As we grow and advance the School of Engineering & Applied Science, we have no more important mission than to lead by example, developing and showcasing engineering as the interconnect that it is.

By Patsy R. Brumfield/NEMS Daily Journal
Conservative voters' domination in north Mississippi spelled victory Tuesday for Josiah Coleman's quest to the Mississippi Supreme Court.
With 632 of 638 precincts reporting, the Oxford attorney garnered 58 percent of the vote, crushing opponent Richard "Flip" Phillips of Batesville.
Unofficial results show Coleman with 206,644 votes compared to Phillips' 146,860.
The 353,504 total for both is about 24,000 votes short of 2008 contests to fill two of the region's three seats on the nine-justice court, the state's highest.
Longtime political observer Curtis Wilkie at the University of Mississippi says that despite the judicial race's non-party labels, everyone knew from his backing that 40-year-old Coleman was the conservative choice.
"It's conservative and it's Republican," Wilkie said Wednesday, noting Coleman "was identifiably the Republican in the race, despite the alleged nonpartisan nature of Supreme Court elections."
The Mississippi Republican Party had endorsed Coleman.
While Phillips' 40-year career trumped Coleman's 13 years of legal experience, Wilkie said Phillips was portrayed "as a nefarious, rapacious trial lawyer" and that was "tarred" by independent spending advertisements by in-state pro-business, pro-doctors political action committees and at least one conservative out-of-state group.
"That 'independent' campaign no doubt helped Coleman," said Wilkie.
Coleman will succeed Justice George Carlson of Batesville, first appointed to the court by Gov. Ronnie Musgrove. Carlson retires at the end of the year.
Wednesday morning, Phillips, 65, wasn't interested in talking about what went wrong with his campaign.
"It's yesterday's news," he said via email. "I'll leave that to the politicians and philosophers. Lots I can still do from THIS side of the bench."
A look at Tuesday's totals shows Coleman got strong support across 26 of the 33-county district. Both candidates got their highest county totals in population-rich DeSoto County where some 90,000 voters are registered.
By and large, Coleman's county majorities tracked GOP nominee Mitt Romney's wins in the presidential election.
Coleman also got other large returns in Lee, Lafayette and Lowndes counties, while dominating 2,853 to 635 in his Choctaw County native home.
Phillips carried only seven counties, including his home base Panola County by more than 2-1.
Coleman, who just celebrated his 40th birthday, is one of the youngest justices to join the Supreme Court since then- Itawamba legislator Michael P. Mills was appointed at age 39 by Gov. Kirk Fordice.
Mills is now chief judge of the U.S. District Court of Northern Mississippi.
Wilkie, a proponent of appointing judges rather than electing them, said it remains to be seen how or if Coleman's decisions on the court are affected by the desires of his financial supporters.
"Those seats have been bought for years," he said, noting until passage of legal reform in Mississippi, the court's makeup was dominated by so-called trial lawyers.
