Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger Handgun Ammunition is designed specifically for law enforcement agencies. There are certain FBI protocols for ammunition and Hornadys Critical Duty line is made exactly for those protocols. Part of the FBI protocols require the ammunition to reliably penetrate barriers such as plywood, auto glass, wall board, sheet metal, and heavy clothing. These requirements are different than normal self defense ammunition. Normal self defense ammunition does not have deep penetration requirements and the preference is actually the opposite. Usually people buying self defense ammunition are concerned about shooting through a wall on accident and hitting someone innocent. Hornady Critical Duty Ammunition is the exact opposite, it is designed to accurately shoot through small barriers and hit the target behind it. The requirement by the FBI for penetration is 12 to 18 inches of penetration into gelatin after going through the small barriers listed previously.
The FlexLock bullet has two main functions that set it aside from competitor bullets, the Flex tip and the Interlock band. The flex tip helps in an extremely reliable bullet expansion, even when hitting sheet metal and other targets that clog hollow points. The interlock band keeps the jacket and core together for great weight retention. Great weight retention results in deeper penetration because of density and momentum. Hollow point ammunition usually fail the FBI penetration tests because the jacket and core separate, resulting in lighter projectiles that cannot penetrate as well.Hornady Critical Duty 9mm Luger Handgun Ammunition

Francis Fukuyama shot to fame with a 1989 essay called "The End of History?" which he expanded into a 1992 book, The End of History and the Last Man. His thesis was a reworking of the "end of ideology" argument propounded in the 1950s by Daniel Bell and others, with an even more emphatic twist. "What we may be witnessing," Fukuyama declared, "is not just the end of the Cold War, or the passing of a particular period of postwar history, but the end of history as such: that is, the endpoint of mankind's ideological evolution and the universalization of Western liberal democracy as the final form of human government." The argument seemed hubristic, a product of the era's American triumphalism.

This multiple-address option is ideal if your business or organisation has more than one address. For example your restaurant chain or company's offices.
But it's also great for sharing several Points of Interest (POI's) with your website visitors, whether that's the departure points for your top 10 hikes or outlets that sell your products.
And because downloading addresses onto a TomTom device is so quick and uses up so little memory on a TomTom device, you really can add as many POI's as you want your readers to be able to reach.

Family: Lycaenidae, Gossamer-wing Butterflies view all from this family
Description The Western Pygmy Blue (Brephidium exilis or Brephidium exile) is one of the smallest butterflies in the world and is the smallest in North America. It has a wingspread of about half an inch.
It is a Gossamer-wing Butterfly form the family Lycaenidae and the subfamily Theclinae.
Gossamer-wings are our smallest butterflies. Their wingspans range from 0.5-2.0 inches (1.2-5.1cm). There are about 7,000 species worldwide with about 139 species in North America.
Gossamer-wings include the subfamilies Hairstreaks, Harvesters, Coppers, and Blues.
Their flights vary from the fast, erratic Hairstreaks to the slow, bouncy Blues. They like to feed at flowers, and males like to puddle at damp ground. Most male Gossamer-wings locate females by perching, while some males patrol. The turban-shaped eggs are usually laid singly. The larva is oval-shaped with a flattened underside. Some species have honeydew glands that attract ants. Ants like to eat and collect the honeydew made by the caterpillar. In turn, the ants will swarm over anything that might try to harm the larva. The chrysalis is usually formed in leaf litter. Many chrysalises can make faint noises. Scientists believe this noise might ward off predatory ants.
Dimensions 3/8-3/4" (10-19 mm).
Habitat Cities, suburbs & towns, Forests & woodlands, Grasslands & prairies, Meadows & fields, Scrub, shrub & brushlands, Shorelines & salt marshes.
Range Northwest, Southwest, California, Rocky Mountains, Texas, Plains.

Outstanding. I'm getting a German Shepard in Feb and would love to run some hunt tests (retrievers) with her!
Chris Barnes
German shepherd or German shorthair?
The Boykin Spaniel was first recognized by AKC in 2009? and was placed in the Spaniel category thus allowed to run only spaniel (upland) hunt tests. The title for a Master Hunter was "MH" as a suffix. In December 2011 AKC recognized the Boykin as a versatile gun dog thus allowing them to compete in Retriever Hunt Tests alongside labs, chessies, goldens, flat coats, curly coats, etc. To differentiate the two titles AKC designated "MHR" for Master Hunter Retriever again as a suffix. I think NARHA also has a MHR title but is a prefix to the dogs name? As of today there are 5 "MHR" Boykins don't know exactly how many "MH" Boykins but there are no combined titled Boykins to date. Three of the 5 MHR Boykins competed in this year's Master Nationals with one getting a pass. It can be confusing but a "MHR" for a Boykin is exactly the same as a "MH" for a Lab.

With AKC opening up Retriever Hunting Tests to more breeds, will there be an opportunity for retrievers to run Spaniel/Flushing HT's in the future??
A great many ... maybe most ... retrievers are used as upland flushing dogs exclusively, as are used as waterfowlers exclusively
Prolly a dumb question I guess ... it WOULD mean more revenue for the AKC, wouldn't it.

Dont wave your phony patriotism in MY face! If you really love America, open your wallet and hire an American kid to build what you buy. Doug Fraser (paraphrased) 1980
Real Americans buy American.
That's a tough one to touch without bias - some spaniels being used exclusively as
waterfowl dogs but not getting their crack at retriever hunt tests.
Mr Montler would tickled to know that you have a Spaniel on your truck, until he found out it was a Boyk!
Hope the holidays were great and that all is well in TX. See you when summer gets here.

UPDATE: Police question man over nurse's murder
Another in custody in connection with deliveryman's killing
ST MARY, Jamaica — Police officers in St Mary are now questioning a man about last night's shooting death of registered nurse Shellion Pinnock-Lafayette of Farm Heights, Port Maria, in the parish.
The police report that about 10:30 pm, residents heard explosions and called them. Upon their arrival, Lafayette, 30, was seen suffering from gunshot wounds in her motor car. She was taken to hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
Lafayette, who worked at the Annotto Bay Hospital, died leaving two young children.
Meanwhile, detectives have also taken a man into custody in connection with the killing of Milton Lue of Breadnut Hill, St Ann, who was killed in Gayle, St Mary yesterday afternoon.
Lue was shot while he was making deliveries with a colleague in the community.
Reports are that men allegedly hopped aboard the truck and opened fire, hitting the two. The colleague managed to escape and raised an alarm.
The police were summoned and both men were taken to hospital where Lue was pronounced dead.

The shot was, believe it or not, 70 YARDS!!! I was using a Mossberg 835, what a surprise, and that gun will, and has killed turkeys at 70yards and more efficiently and ethicaly. Say what you like, but when i hunt, its for food, not fancy hunts for good stories. We use 3 1/2 inch shells from Winchester with 2 1/4 ounces of power, so we can shoot that far. That was my first gobbler ever thogh, and it was AWESOME!!!!

The unexpected shrinkage of the US economy late last year illustrates the biggest threat it faces in 2013: sharp government spending cuts and budget fights that could slow growth and potentially raise unemployment.
A plunge in defence spending helped push the economy into negative territory in the October-December quarter. The likelihood of another recession is remote, but economists warn that further spending cuts would weaken an already modest recovery.
"One way or the other, government is going to be a constraint on growth," said James Marple, senior economist at TD Bank.
Deep spending cuts in both defence and domestic programs are set to take effect on March 1. And most of the federal government could shut down March 27 if Congress doesn't extend a temporary measure authorising funding.
Finally, America's borrowing limit needs to be raised by May 18 or the government could default on its debts.
Any resolution of those issues will almost certainly result in more spending cuts or possibly even tax increases.
The economy shrank at an annual rate of 0.1 per cent in the fourth quarter, the Commerce Department said today, mainly because companies restocked at a slower rate and the government slashed defence spending. That's sharply lower than the third quarter's 3.1 per cent growth rate.
The contraction is the first since 2009 and jeopardises President Barack Obama's efforts to shift away from the economy to other issues, such as immigration and gun control.
Obama can take some actions on those issues without Congressional approval. But he would need agreement from Congress to reverse spending cuts or take other steps to fuel growth.
Looming government cutbacks may have already hindered the economy: Concern over the year-end fiscal cliff could be one reason businesses slowed their restocking. And defence spending may have fallen as agencies prepared for automatic spending cuts in the cliff.
The drag from government comes as private sector growth is picking up, economists note. Consumers and businesses spent more in the fourth quarter compared with the third.
"The private domestic economy ... actually performed reasonably well, better in fact than (it) did in the previous two quarters," Marple said.
Consumer spending added 1.5 percentage points to growth and business investment contributed 0.8 percentage points. Rising home construction added nearly 0.4 percentage points.
But government spending cuts and slower company restocking, which can fluctuate sharply, subtracted a combined 2.6 percentage points from GDP. And a drop in exports subtracted another quarter-point.
Defence spending plummeted by more than 22 per cent, the steepest drop in more than 40 years. Nearly all the cuts were in services, such as weapons maintenance and personnel support.
The Defence Department said spending fell in part because of the drawdown in forces from Iraq and Afghanistan.
A deal to avoid the fiscal cliff and delay across-the-board spending cuts for two months was reached Jan. 1. The cuts amount to about $85 billion.
They appear increasingly likely to take place. Congressional Republicans see them as a way to force Democrats to make budget concessions.
At the same time, Americans are coming to grips with a Jan. 1 increase in Social Security taxes that has left them with less take-home pay.
The lower pay could cut roughly a half-point off growth this year. The automatic spending cuts could shave off another 0.3 percentage points if they take place, Marple estimates.
They would require a 7 per cent cut to the Pentagon budget and a 5 per cent cut from domestic agencies. Everything from the National Park Service to federal law enforcement to health research would be affected. Social Security and veterans' benefits, along with other entitlement programs, would be exempted.
Federal employees would face temporary layoffs and contracts would be delayed or cancelled.
Medicare providers like doctors and hospitals would have to absorb a 2 per cent cut in their payments. That could lead to job cuts at some hospitals.
And if the two parties don't agree on an extension of government funding March 27, a shutdown could follow. Each week of a shutdown could slice a quarter-point from growth, Marple said.
Weaker growth could discourage companies from hiring, pushing up the unemployment rate. It has stood at a painfully high 7.8 per cent for two months. The government will release the January jobs report Friday.
Some trends, however, will offset the drag from reduced government spending.
Exports, which dropped in the last quarter by the most in nearly four years, should rebound this year. China's economy is picking up after a brief slowdown. Even Europe may emerge from recession this year.
And home builders are stepping up construction to meet rising demand. That should create more construction jobs.
Home prices are rising steadily. That tends to make Americans feel wealthier and more likely to spend. Housing could add as much as 1 percentage point to economic growth this year.
In addition, auto sales reached their highest level in five years in 2012. That's boosting production and hiring at US automakers and their suppliers.
The approach of the fiscal cliff last year had one benefit: Incomes jumped in the fourth quarter as companies paid out nearly $40 billion in special dividends and bonuses ahead of expected tax increases.
After-tax income, adjusted for inflation, rose 6.8 per cent, the most in nearly four years. But incomes may fall in the current quarter because of the end of the Social Security tax cut.
Superstorm Sandy likely also dragged on growth by closing factories, disrupting shipping and shutting down retail stores. While the department did not specify Sandy's effect on GDP, it estimated that Sandy destroyed about $36 billion in private property and $8.6 billion in government property.
Wednesday's report is the first of three estimates of GDP the government issues each quarter. GDP measures the nation's total output of goods and services from restaurant meals and haircuts to airplanes and appliances.
The estimates of GDP are revised by an average of 1.3 percentage points between the first and third estimate. That means the final figure for the fourth quarter might end up showing either growth or a steeper contraction.

Publicity is very important for Go clubs, since a large proportion of the population have not even heard of the game. Some of these people would become keen Go players once they knew what the game was about.
A good time for concentrated publicity is when a club is about to start meeting in a reasonably sized venue, possibly as an expansion from a small group meeting in a members house. After finding a suitable venue (see section 2.1 [5]), it is necessary to fix upon a day for the first meeting; this should allow sufficient time for advance preparation (say 4-6 weeks).
There are various ways of publicising the opening of a Go club. Posters, which can be obtained free from the BGA Secretary, should be displayed at work or school. Even better is to place notices at the local university or technical college, since students often take to Go quickly and spread the game amongst themselves. Advertisements should be placed in the personal columns of local newspapers (especially student newpapers) and in newsagents' windows. Notices should be placed in local libraries, and also in members' windows. Contact the BGA Membership Secretary to establish whether there are any unattached members already in your area who can be approached to join. Finally, a good way to spread Go is to talk about the game - many people who would ignore other publicity try out the game because a friend of a friend plays Go.
A major publicity effort is essential to get a new club started. However, it is also very important to maintain a smaller amount of continuous publicity, since a club needs a steady flow of new members in order to keep going. Furthermore, if there have been no recent recruits to the club, a beginner who does turn up is often put off by the high standard. Most clubs will not be able to spend any money on regular publicity, but there is still a lot that can be done.
The first thing is to maintain some of the initial publicity by keeping up posters and notices for as long as possible. Your local public library will normally be willing to display a small card giving details of your go club, which should include where and when it meets, a website address, who to contact for information (with email address and telephone number) and a few words about the game itself. Go should also be covered in any lists of local societies; these are often organised by libraries, newspapers and information services.
It is also worth putting a card in any local board games shop; some shops have a board of contact cards for various game-related groups and these often attract new visitors to your club.
Although a local newspaper will not want to publish regular articles about the game itself, it may be interested in results of club matches and of local players in tournaments, particularly if they win prizes. Another way to generate publicity is to organise a tournament (see Chapter 7 [6] for details).
Many people find out about go, and their local clubs, through the internet. It is therefore essential for a club to have an up to date website, listing meeting times and places, with directions (it is easy to link to a map using Google maps [7], streetmap [8] or multimap [9]) and contact details. The site should also state that the club is open to and welcomes visitors. The BGA website maintains a list of clubs [10] and provides a small amount of free web space (up to 50kB) to BGA affiliated Go clubs. If you want your club to have its own page, but have nowhere to host it, just send the webmaster an email containing the text (in html if you can manage it) and any graphics.
It is easier to keep beginners keen on go if they have other beginners of the same standard to play against. Partly for this reason, and partly to make teaching easier, it is a good idea to try to recruit a large number of beginners at the same time, and the best way to do this is to run widely publicised open evenings every year or so.
In university clubs such events should obviously be run at the beginning of the academic year, in other clubs the best time is less easy to determine, but the Autumn is usually best. Even if you are not a university club, it is worth targetting local universities at the beginning of the academic year. Contact the students union at the beginning of the summer to get details of when they hold their Freshers' Fair. There will usually be a small charge for this, but it can be worth it in terms of the numbers of people who then come to the open evening.
The vital thing about an open evening is that it should be widely advertised. Local libraries and the local press are a good start, but deliberate raids on the chess and bridge clubs in the area have the great advantage of concentrating on people known to have a propensity for playing games in clubs. There may also be groups in your area which meet to play other games such as Dungeons and Dragons or Othello which can be raided in the same manner. Games shops are a good source of information on the whereabouts of such groups.
When it comes to actually running the open evening the important thing is to spend as little time as is absolutely necessary teaching the rules, and to get people to play as many games as possible reasonably quickly (chess players in particular have a tendency to spend far too long thinking in their first few games) and only using 9x9 boards. Photocopied small boards will usually suffice but look a bit tacky.
How you run the open evening depends on the sort of people who turn up. In particular, teaching adults requires a different approach from teaching children. One way of running an open evening goes as follows:
There are other approaches you can take. Some people have success teaching large groups (particularly groups of children) by beginning with First Capture Go, then moving on when dead stones stop being overlooked. Many bright children discover ko and even life and death for themselves this way.

Welcome, kishorebalakrishnan!
Good to see you here, edd.
Zooko is cool and friendly!
Ironically, now wmf is no longer certified. Quick, go do the deed!
Thanks to a certification campaign launched by wmf, I'm now accepted by Advogato! Thanks to everyone who helped out.
A special thanks to emk for rating me a Journeyer after doing research. Eric is a certified hoopy frood after the time I've spent with him on UserLand's DG.
Add myself as a contributor to MusicBrainz
I'm not quite sure how all these people manged to find me and certify me, but, thanks guys! Didn't know I had so many fans... ;-) Still, Advogato won't trust me!
I also just realized that I've been getting confused between Jim Winstead (jimw) and Jim Whitehead (ejw). This may take me a while to sort out... If you guys are going to work on the same stuff (WebDAV) you might as well pick different names! ;-)
I just set up SWAP but I can't seem to add people (like connolly) to it. Worse, timbl isn't even on the site yet. Perhaps I need to gain more trust-strength before I can do these things.
Update 2001-07-02: connolly seems to have added himself.
wmf was nice enough to certify me, but that doesn't seem to get me a site-wide certification. Oh well -- maybe soon.

Blizzard isn't even trying to hide it.
Disney completely ripped off the idea from Blizzard.
1. Pandaren reveal trailer
Here is a comparison of the Pandaren reveal and an international poster for Kung Fu Panda 2:
The only major difference in stance is that the left leg is back instead of forward. The sun is in the same location. The temple is on the right instead of directly behind, but uses the exact same coloring (which is far from the most common, especially for temples). The environment is likewise similar. Obviously it's not identical, that would mean lawsuits. But it's undeniably similar.
A company like Blizzard does not *accidentally* make a major product preview so similar to another major product preview of a similar theme. They have entire departments devoted to ensuring that does not happen. Unless you believe that Blizzard is utterly incompetent, you realize that - at the very least - they were aware (beforehand) how similar their reveal would be to KFP and decided to keep it that way.
2. Racial traits remove any doubt
Gourmand/Epicurean: Po loved food and ate in excess (which is the exact definition of Gourmand). He was also a cook. There's really no argument here. Blizzard did not pull those traits out of thin air and just happen to have them match KFP exactly while having nothing to do with the WC3 Brewmaster.
Inner Peace: Inner Peace plays a large, mentioned-by-name role in KFP, with Po told that if he finds it, it will lead to a drastic improvement in the speed of his training. Herp derp, rested exp. Again, exact reference to KFP, yet has absolutely nothing to do with the WC3 Pandaren Brewmaster. Unless you consider a drunken haze to be Inner Peace.
Bouncy: Some may have initially thought that this was some sort of reference to cuddly bears or something, but think back to how much bouncing around Po did and the actual source of the name becomes clear. This also has nothing to do with the hardy, drunken-brawling, never-falling WC3 Brewmaster.
Merely having a Panda-like creature in WC3 does not get Blizz off the hook for the similarities, especially not when the Pandaren revealed have much more in common with KFP than the WC3 Brewmaster. Again, this thread is not meant to be criticism of that fact, just to point out how the similarities are blatant, and too many + too exact to be coincidence. I don't know if it's a marketing tactic (pop culture reference = instant wider appeal) or if they were just looking for inspiration to flesh out the idea, but it's there and it's undeniable.
Please stop saying that the comparison isn't valid unless you can explain the above similarities without arguing that they are a series of big, logic-defying coincidences that Blizzard's legal and PR departments mysteriously missed.
The average giant panda eats as much as 9 to 14 kg (20 to 30 pounds) of bamboo shoots a day. Because the giant panda consumes a diet low in nutrition, it is important for it to keep its digestive tract full.
1. Pandaren reveal trailer
Inner Peace
quote:I heard that they planned on releasing Kung Fu Panda in 2003, but Blizzard stole their thunder.
The Panderan Brewmaster came out in Warcraft III: Frozen Throne (2003) -- Kung Fu Panda came out in 2008.
quote:Sorry. You may want to create another thread about the Mists of Kung Fu Panda. This one has pretty much become a troll thread.
can we make this not about the kung foo panda crap and keep it to the worlds of warcraft expansion please?
Is that a new class and race?
is GW2 alliances or hordes?

Morton's neuroma is an injury to the nerve between the toes, which causes thickening and pain. It commonly affects the nerve that travels between the third and fourth toes.
See also: Foot pain
Morton's neuroma is more common in women than in men.
The exact cause is unknown. However, some experts believe the following may play a role in the development of this condition:
Symptoms of Morton's neuroma include:
In rare cases, nerve pain occurs in the space between the second and third toes. This is not a common form of Morton's neuroma, but treatment is similar.
Your health care provider can usually diagnose this problem by examining your foot. A foot x-ray may be done to rule out bone problems. MRI or high-resolution ultrasound can successfully diagnose Morton's neuroma.
Nerve testing (electromyography) cannot diagnose Morton's neuroma, but may be used to rule out conditions that cause similar symptoms.
Blood tests may be done to check for inflammation-related conditions, including certain forms of arthritis.
Nonsurgical treatment is tried first. Your doctor may recommend any of the following:
Anti-inflammatories and painkillers are not recommended for long-term treatment.
In some cases, surgery may be needed to remove the thickened tissue. This can help relieve pain and improve foot function. Numbness after surgery is permanent, but should not be painful.
Nonsurgical treatment does not always improve symptoms. Surgery to remove the thickened tissue is successful in about 85% of cases.
Morton's neuroma can make walking difficult. Persons with this foot condition may also have trouble performing activities that put pressure on the foot, such as pressing the gas pedal of an automobile. It may hurt to wear certain types of shoes, such as high-heels.
Call your health care provider if you have persistent pain or tingling in your foot or toe area.
Avoid ill-fitting shoes. Wear shoes with a wide toe box.

Really? Find me a better radio station, and I'll gladly tune in. Besides... I love KCRW.
Really? Find me a better radio station, and I'll gladly tune in. Besides... I love KCRW.
Listening to the second of two '80s songs with famous guitarists (often listed un-credited ) on "back-up" ... "Beat It," after "Let's Dance."
I predict that the upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi film will include the word "and." Multiple times.
I know who played guitar on "Let's Dance" (SRV) but who played on "Beat It?" Didn't Slash play on some MJ song... maybe "Dirty Dianna?"
"Beat It" was Eddie Van Halen. He did another song on HIStory, but I don't recall which.
Slash played the intro part (playing in the background while the kid's arguing with his dad) on "Black and White." He also played on a HIStory song, I think "D.S."
That's my jacket!
Funny, I always thought it was common knowledge that EVH played guitar on Beat It, but I had no idea who played on Let's Dance... I had to google it, but can't say I'm familiar with the guy.
Big thanks to DarkJedi5, TheRealDubya, obi-dad, morpheus282, Tycho and Kidhuman for great deals/trades.
Please tell me you're joking.
That's my jacket!
Stevie Ray Vaughan? Seriously, I've never heard of him... seems like he's had a couple of hits in Britain backing other artists, but never in his own right.
Big thanks to DarkJedi5, TheRealDubya, obi-dad, morpheus282, Tycho and Kidhuman for great deals/trades.
The dude could play guitar behind his back better than some can play it normally.
Here is an acoustic version of one of his most famous songs, "Pride and Joy."
Okay, I wasn't trying to sound obnoxious, but that comes as a bit of a surprise. The guy was easily the most successful (and one of the most talented) blues musician (regardless of instrument, including voice) of the past 40 years. He had several hits stateside, which is incredibly rare for anyone playing blues after the British Invasion (not counting Zeppelin, who pretty much are heavy blues even if they don't say so).
That's my jacket!

OXFORD – Cannon Motor Co. held a grand opening Thursday for what co-owner Michael Joe Cannon considers its flagship dealership.
The Oxford location is one of eight Cannon-owned automotive franchises in the state.
"My family and I had moved back to Oxford and wanted to build something that the area could be proud of for generations to come," he said.
Cannon, business partner Jay Hughes, employees and construction officials broke ground on the facility on Highway 6 West in May, and operations began at the new location Dec. 3.
The facility's showroom, service department and body shop have 26,500, 20,000 and 14,000 square feet, respectively, and replaces the former location on Jackson Avenue.
Cannon said the highway site and additional space adds convenience for both local and out-of-town customers.
"Our new location on the bypass will serve us well given the flow of traffic and the layout of the facility," he said.
The air-conditioned, ozone-controlled repair shop includes three dedicated quick-lube lanes, and the parts and service departments are open all day Saturday.
Lafayette County Board of Supervisors President Jeff Busby said, "They're going to be an asset to Oxford and Lafayette County, as they have been already."
Oxford Mayor George "Pat" Patterson congratulated the Cannon and Hughes families and quipped, "I'm already looking forward to the extra sales tax this place will bring in."
Cannon Motors operates dealerships in Oxford, Greenwood, Cleveland, Grenada, Calhoun City and Jackson, offering Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac, Ford, Lincoln, Nissan and pre-owned vehicles.

Congratulations to all of today's graduates. Today's ceremonies include Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Mississippi University for Women, Blue Mountain College, Southern Mississippi and Itawamba Community College. Read more about these graduations and see more photos in Sunday's NEMS Daily Journal newspaper.
Stadium architect speaks at MSU, her alma mater
STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — An internationally known architect of baseball stadiums, Janet Marie Smith, told graduates of Mississippi State University that hard work, passionate conviction and unwavering courage are skills that will help them succeed.
Smith spoke during commencement ceremonies Friday and Saturday in Starkville. She told graduates they don't have to conquer the world to contribute to humanity; they just need to find something they love to do.
Smith earned her architecture degree at MSU in 1981 and her master's in urban planning from City College of New York.
She has designed stadiums for the Atlanta Braves, the Boston Red Sox and the Baltimore Orioles. She is currently senior vice president of planning and development for the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Evers-Williams at Ole Miss: 'Soar, and be free'
OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Civil rights leader Myrlie Evers-Williams has told graduates at the University of Mississippi to "soar, and be free."
She spoke Saturday during a commencement ceremony on the university's main campus in Oxford.
Evers-Williams told graduates to work not only for themselves but also for the betterment of Mississippi and all mankind.
She was presented with the University of Mississippi Humanitarian Award. This was only the third time the award has been given.
Evers-Williams' first husband, Medgar Evers, was denied admission to the University of Mississippi law school in 1954, when the state's education system was still segregated. He worked as field secretary of the Mississippi NAACP and was assassinated outside the family's Jackson home in June 1963.
Evers-Williams was national chairwoman of the NAACP from 1995 to 1998.
Bryant to USM grads: 'rise up and do great things'
HATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant told graduates at his alma mater that he wants them to "rise up and do great things."
Bryant spoke Friday during two commencement ceremonies at the University of Southern Mississippi's main campus in Hattiesburg.
The Republican has been governor since January 2012. He is a 1977 graduate of USM, with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
Bryant said Mississippi has overcome great adversity, from the Civil War through Hurricane Katrina and even through the F-4 tornado that caused damage in Hattiesburg and the surrounding area in February.
"We could have stayed down, but we decided to get up," Bryant said of the state. "Graduates, rise up and do great things."
USM researchers have helped attract industry to the state, the governor said. GE Aviation recently opened a manufacturing plant in Ellisville, and polymer science research developments from USM will be used in items produced by the company.
He urged the graduates to stay in Mississippi and use their talents and skills to help the state make progress.
"Grow where you have been planted. Mississippi needs you," Bryant said. "Each year, we lose a third of our best and brightest as you go to some other state to find your fame and fortune. But opportunity is here."
Before being elected governor, Bryant served as lieutenant governor, state auditor and state representative from a district at the Ross Barnett Reservoir outside Jackson. He started his career as a Hinds County deputy sheriff.

Monday Challenge 12/03/12
Posted 03 December 2012 - 08:06 AM
In a good piece of design, whether it be a painting or a scrapbook page, you will incorporate many, if not all of the principles and many of the elements of design. We will be focusing on one or two of the principles each week, but don't put aside the other aspects of good design.
Balance in design is similar to balance in physics
A large shape close to the center can be balanced by a small shape close to the edge. A large light
toned shape will be balanced by a small dark toned shape (the darker the shape the heavier it appears to be) (Artist John Lovett's website)
It is a state of equalized tension and equilibrium, which may not always be calm.
Types of Balance
Asymmetrical produces an informal balance that is attention attracting and dynamic.
Radial balance is arranged around a central element. The elements placed in a radial balance seem to 'radiate'
out from a central point in a circular fashion.
Overall is a mosaic form of balance which normally arises from too many elements being put on a page. Due to the lack of hierarchy and contrast, this form of balance can look noisy.
For today's challenge, I want you to give particular attention to your layout's Balance. I encourage you to read further by Googling the Principles of Design. You can do a layout of any subject with any number of photos that you wish to use.
Post your layouts in the General Message Board Gallery.

Born of Irish/Scottish parentage, Lynne Graham has lived in Northern Ireland all her life. She has one brother. She grew up in a seaside village and now lives in a country house surrounded by a woodland garden, which is wonderfully private.
Lynne first met her husband when she was 14. They married after she completed a degree at Edinburgh University. Lynne wrote her first book at 15 and it was rejected everywhere. She started writing again when she was at home with her first child. It took several attempts before she sold her first book and the delight of seeing that first book for sale in the local newsagents has never been forgotten.
Lynne always wanted a large family and has five children. Her eldest and her only natural child is 19 and currently at university. Her other children, who are every bit as dear to her heart, are adopted. She has two 9-year-olds adopted from Sri Lanka and a 3- and a 5-year-old adopted from Guatemala. In Lynne's home, there is a rich and diverse cultural mix, which adds a whole extra dimension of interest and discovery to family life.
The family has two pets. Thomas, a very large and affectionate black cat, bosses the dog and hunts rabbits. The dog is Daisy, an adorable but not very bright white West Highland terrier, who loves being chased by the cat. At night, dog and cat sleep together in front of the kitchen stove.
Lynne loves gardening, cooking, collects everything from old toys to rock specimens and is crazy about every aspect of Christmas.

So here's my question: what's the best home audio set-up I can get for $700 budget? I am looking for a pair of headphone & a amp.
Types of headphone I'm looking for:
-Open/closed design
-Wide soundstage & great details
-Just right "enough" amount of bass with smooth mids & crisp highs.
-sound as clear as the AKG K550
-Full size circumference that covers my ear entirely
-suitable for all genres of music
-Using it mostly for music.
Currently, I am looking at AKG K550, Sennheiser HD598/HD650/HD600. Open for recommendation.
As for amp:
-Not necessary to have built-in battery
-pair well with the headphone
-Must be external as my PC has no extension slots
-Portable or not does not matter
Not much experience with amp. Had only tried Beyerdynamic A1 & iBasso D7. iBasso DX100 if you consider them as an amp/dac hybrid
Side notes:
I am trying to avoid used headphones as this will be my last purchase for years.
Help appreciated

The 2012 high school football season featured conference championships, playoff appearances and some memorble moments for players competing for teams throughout the Tri-Cities area. We honor some of the best local players with our 2012 all-area team.
Brannon Barry YEAR Junior SCHOOL St. Charles East Barry helped lead the Saints to their first playoff appearance since 2009 this season. The wide receiver was second in the Upstate Eight River with 41 catches, and he also had five touchdowns and over 500 yards receiving. He was UER all-conference as a receiver. As a defensive back, he had an interception return for a touchdown.
Kyle Brown YEAR Junior SCHOOL Geneva The Vikings were a run-based team, but if they ever needed a big pass play, Brown helped deliver it. He led the team with 24 receptions and six touchdowns, and his 457 receiving yards accounted for over 50 percent of Geneva's receiving yards. Brown was one of just four receivers to earn Upstate Eight River all-conference accolades.
Mike Candre YEAR Junior SCHOOL St. Charles East One of five East defensive players named Upstate Eight River all-conference, Candre was a physical presence for a Saints defense that surrendered just 80 points in six conference games. East led the area in turnovers, thanks in no small part to Candre's two interceptions and three forced fumbles.
Micah Coffey YEAR Junior SCHOOL Batavia Faced with the task of replacing an all-state quarterback, Coffey shined in his first varsity season. The Upstate Eight River all-conference selection completed 60 percent of his passes for 1,732 yards, and he had 18 touchdown passes to just five interceptions. Coffey also rushed for nearly 4 yards per carry and five touchdowns.
Reece Conroyd YEAR Junior SCHOOL St. Charles North Conroyd wasn't in on every tackle for the North Stars this season, but it sure seemed like it. The Upstate Eight River all-conference linebacker was far and away the statistical leader for North's defense, tallying 84 tackle assists and 47 solo tackles. North's defense allowed just 160 points (17.7 per game) and held five opponents to 14 points or less.
George Edlund YEAR Senior SCHOOL St. Charles North A two-year varsity standout, Edlund once again powered led the team with 150 carries, 738 yards and eight touchdowns. His rushing attempts accounted for over 52 percent of North's total, his rush yards were over 58 percent of the total, and he scored more than 53 percent of the North Stars' rushing TDs to earn Upstate Eight River all-conference honors.
Colin Griffin YEAR Senior SCHOOL Geneva Griffin led the Vikings' defense with 8.1 tackles per game. Despite missing a mid-season game, he finished fourth on the team with 65 total tackles, but led the team with 21 solo tackles and also recorded half a sack this season. He was one of two Geneva defensive players to be named to the Upstate Eight River all-conference team.
Bobby Hess YEAR Senior SCHOOL Geneva Hess continued Geneva's tradition of producing prolific running backs. He had a trio of 200-yards-plus and five-touchdown games. On the year, he rushed for 1,496 yards (166.2 per game) and 22 touchdowns. He accounted for more than 65 percent of Geneva's rushing yards, 60 percent of the touchdowns and nearly 47 percent of the total offense.
Joe Hoscheit YEAR Senior SCHOOL St. Charles East A powerful fullback that came up clutch in short-yardage situations, Hoscheit really made his mark on the other side of the ball as a linebacker. The Saints' defensive leader was also that unit's leading tackler, and opposing coaches took notice, naming him Upstate Eight River defensive MVP and Class 7A all-state.
Marquise Jenkins YEAR Senior SCHOOL Batavia A high-energy player who gave offensive linemen all they could handle, this 6-foot-3, 215-pound defensive end finished with 43 tackles (26 solo), many of which came on the other side of the line of scrimmage. The Upstate Eight River all-conference selection had eight tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks, and also had 14 quarterback hits and hurries on the year.
Zach Kirby YEAR Senior SCHOOL St. Charles North At 5-foot-11 and 160 pounds, Kirby didn't have the prototypical wide receiver build, but he was the North Stars' top wideout nonetheless. He led the team in every major receiving category with 24 receptions, 463 yards, 19.3 yards per catch and four touchdowns. His four scores were half of North's total through the air, and his receptions and yards were more than one third of the team's total.
Evan Kurtz YEAR Junior SCHOOL St. Charles North Forming a 1-2 backfield punch with senior George Edlund, this 6-foot-3, 215-pound bruiser was tough to tackle. He averaged 5.4 yards per carry (third on the team) and racked up 454 yards and six touchdowns for the year. After his breakout junior season, he is poised to become a focal point of the offense next year.
Jimmy Mitchell YEAR Junior SCHOOL St. Charles East A banged-up backfield meant the Saints had to put the ball in the hands of this 6-foot, 180-pound quarterback, and he delivered. Named Upstate Eight River all-conference in a conference with several quality quarterbacks, Mitchell finished the year with 1,121 yards passing and 11 touchdowns to just five interceptions.
Anthony Scaccia YEAR Junior SCHOOL Batavia The 5-foot-8, 160-pound speedster was a game-changer in nearly every facet of the game. He averaged 26.1 yards per kickoff return, but earned Upstate Eight River all-conference honors as a running back where he racked up 1,279 yards (8.25 per carry) and 11 touchdowns on the ground. In the passing game, he had 249 yards and a touchdown.
Mickey Watson YEAR Senior SCHOOL Batavia Watson was the leader and signal-caller for a stout Batavia defense that held five opponents to 15 points or less and pitched two shutouts. He led the team with 85 tackles, including 60 solo takedowns, and had seven tackles for loss, three sacks and eight quarterback hurries and was named Upstate Eight River all-conference.

Do you happen to know why this happens?
I'm not using any pull-up resistors also. Should I ?
2k2 means 2.2 kOhm and 4k7 means 4.7 kOhm. The bus capacity is added up from the capacities of the connected devices plus a bit for the bus cables. If you don't have the capacity per meter cable of the wires you use, guess it from a similar cable. Usually it's a few pF per dm. If you have a scope you don't have to calculate the bus capacity, you can simply try different resistor values and have a look at the changes of the signal picture.In your case I would try with 2k2, this probably fits your needs.
Thank you. Is this how I should connect the resistors?
Should the GND of the compass be connected to Arduino's GND in order to work as a slave device, just like with the slave Arduino? Cause currently I have it on the GND of the circuit.

|The Quintessential Trout Trout angling is the core of flyfishing worldwide.
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Glad you made it. If i remember we had crystal blue skies that day, not really the best for fishing but great for sight seeing. I heard that they bumped the flow up to around 300 cfs lucky you got in when you did. I've fished lily a few times in the last couple weeks waiting for the runn-off to slow and the fish are in spawning mode. I have only managed 2 fish but the colors are spectacular.

Late South Platte Report
Last week I got the chance to fish the South Platte River in Colorado while on a business trip. I went to a picnic area below Deckers that Brad suggested. Its a pretty area and the ride in was interesting with a 15% gradient road that I wouldn't like if there were any snow. I fished from about 2-5 last tuesday and managed a couple of pretty browns on a bead head PT nymph. Duty called at five and I went to find a phone to call home in time for my sons bed time. Driving out I realized how wiped I was and I decided to go to the hotel rather than back to the river. The rest of the trip was business, and I never did get to try Lily lake which Bob D suggested.
I took pictures and hopefully they will come out.
Thanks again to Brad and Bob D for the help.

I like the way he transforms.
Only Meister and Grimlock to go and I think I have all I'm going to be collecting - except who is the Honda? I think it was Windcharger, but I'm not positive. I "might" get him. It looks like I'll like figuring out how to transform him.
Anyway, that'll probably be it for me until they do Decepticons that are PLANES and to scale...
25th Anniversary Starscream - keep the dream alive!
Anyway, I like Tracks.
Haven't been sorry about the Alternators I've bought yet.
Honda IS Windcharger in America. He is is Overdrive in Japan.
And it looks like Honda made Hasbro neuter Windchargers gun.
Oh, I got the Energon Grimlock/Swoop pack yesterday. Their transformations are pretty similar to their G1 counter parts. Swoop is the better of the two. The only thing that really bugs me is that he has no true hands like in the box art, and the flaps that prevent his legs from moving forward more. Grimlock is too short. If he was a little taller he would look more proportional and therefore better. I wish he had a gun, but the claws from alt mode make good hand weapons (think Wolverine) in bot mode. Wish his faceplate was painted like in the box art.
I hope that's not true about Windcharger's gun, that thing was way cool!
Adam, I think you just saved me from buying Grimlock/Swoop there, I was already on the fence before hearing any reviews and your review touches on a few issues that bugged me from the photos alone.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
What in the name of wanna-be-politically-correct is Honda doing asking Hasbro to not include a gun on Windcharger?
Are they serious?
What is this going to accomplish? Make kids less into violence because 1 Transformer doesn't come with a gun (it's a violent genre) or is it going to make more kids want to shoot people working in the corporate management of Honda?
I'm all for the latter. Can they do some kind of "free Alternator give-away" with proof of confirmed kill?
I think Adam means that Windcharger's gun, which on the test shot included a long barrel made from the driveshaft, no longer has the driveshaft (which would explain why Hasbro's site photo has the gun all stubby like that - I was hoping it was a photographer's mistake).
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.

I got Meister today in what was a pretty awesome day for toy hunting!
I picked up not only
1 Rabe
2 Senator Yarua
2 Pablo Jill
3 Sly Moore
1 Queen Theed Ceremony!
Anyway, onto my review of Meister - the first toy (and only toy) I've opened since I got home.
Mesiter is the most flimsy, cheaply put together Alternator I've ever handled!
This is not to say I don't like him.
Mesiter's Pros
4 doors open, including the reversed rear doors - very cool.
Very detailed interior.
Nice white, sporty color.
He rolls fast and his wheels hold his direction straight.
His Transformation is pretty cool and has some sort-of unique elements to it.
His gun is like the exhaust muffler in the back, instead of the engine like most Alternators.
The gun is an awesome long-barrel when it transforms in 3 or 4 steps!
Meister's drawbacks
Meister's right arm fell off while I was transforming him. It easily fits back into the plug, but this should never have happened.
The plastic is getting cheaper and lighter weight. Interesting after Tracks came out as such durable, high quality.
Meister's head is sort of inset, sort of like his head is in a turtleneck. It still rotates just fine - it's just that perhaps I just don't like this element of his design.
Anyway, the pros outweigh the cons and a nice bright white color is great to add to your Autobot car fleet.
I'm actually very glad I bought him!
I would say pick them up if they're ever on sale. It's not a bad set, but like many things in this line, it could have been better. They're deffinately better than the Scavenger you picked up on sale.Originally Posted by JediTricks
And yeah, that is exactly what I was refering to about Windcharger JT.
My favorite Walmart had a ton of new figures. They had all the new Alternators too. I threw Tracks and Jazz on layaway along with various other Christmas presents. I briefly thought about picking up the bots that make Energon Superion but i held off. No sign of Grimlock and Swoop though. Some new TFUs also, but nothing that i felt like buying. Are these the final figures for this line or will we be seeing a couple more pop out before Cybertron premieres?

Fractures of the bones are classified in a number of ways. A simple fracture involves a single fracture line through a bone. A comminuted fracture is one in which the bone has been fractured into two or more fragments. An open fracture is one in which the fractured bone penetrates the skin.
The three main treatment options for bone fractures are:
While the patient is pain-free (general or local anesthesia), an incision is made over the fractured bone. The bone is placed in proper position and screws, pins, or plates are attached to or in the bone temporarily or permanently. Any disrupted blood vessels are tied off or burned (cauterized). If examination of the fracture shows that a quantity of bone has been lost as a result of the fracture, especially if there is a gap between the broken bone ends, the surgeon may decide that a bone graft is essential to avoid delayed healing.
If bone grafting is not necessary, the fracture can be repaired by the following methods:
a) one or more screws inserted across the break to hold it.
b) a steel plate held by screws drilled into the bone.
c) a long fluted metal pin with holes in it, is driven down the shaft of the bone from one end, with screws then passed through the bone and through a hole in the pin.
In some cases, after this stabilization, the microsurgical repair of blood vessels and nerves is necessary. The skin incision is then closed in the usual fashion.
The advantage of internal fixation is that it often allows early mobility and faster healing. Unless the internal fixation causes problems, it is not necessary or desirable to remove it. The long-term prognosis is excellent. The length of the hospital stay depends on factors such as the condition of the bone, the presence of infection, the state of the blood and nerve supply, and presence of other injuries. Children's bones heal rapidly, usually in 6 weeks time.

Accommodating Seismic Movement
The main approach to piping a building to accommodate seismic activity is to use a rigid piping system that will minimize overall piping movement. Too much swing could affect other pipe and equipment, despite being within the capability of the grooved coupling.
Typically, more than 95 percent of the grooved couplings used in a system will be rigid, while the remainder will be flexible couplings, which allow for linear, angular and rotational movement in areas as needed.
The Test
Victaulic couplings were tested at the ATLSS center, a member of the nationally recognized NEES (Network for Earthquake Engineering Simulations) testing group, to prove the reliability of Victaulic grooved system components when exposed to seismic movements. Victaulic couplings ranging in size from 4"-16" (100 - 400mm) were exposed to accelerations up to 50% greater than the Northridge, California earthquake. http://www.nees.lehigh.edu/
The Results
The water-filled assemblies were pressurized to 200psi/1375 kPa for the duration of each test and no pressure loss or leakage was noted during any of the tests.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Thumbs Up
MSU created five turnovers, and it shut down the potentially potent Arkansas offense in the second half. That helped State outscore the Razorbacks 28-0 after halftime.
Quarterback Tyler Russell had another fine outing, overcoming a slow start to finish 19 of 32 for 274 yards and four touchdowns. The running game got back on track, totaling 203 yards to shake off a tough three-game stretch.
Thumbs Down
MSU missed some opportunities during the first three quarters, scoring only three points off an Arkansas fumble, interception and turnover on downs. That did get turned around, with MSU scoring three consecutive touchdowns off turnovers.
The defense couldn't do anything to slow down Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson early, as the Hogs staked a 14-7 lead.
Keys for victory
Evaluating the keys to victory in Saturday's GameDay section:
1. Communicate: The MSU secondary had gotten burned during a three-game losing streak because of communication issues. The Bulldogs had trouble covering receiver Cobi Hamilton early, but they shut him down in the second half. Coach Dan Mullen said there were "a couple of errors" in the communication department Saturday, but on the whole it was better.
2. Regain the run game: After being held to 192 yards during the three-game losing streak, State rushed for 203 against Arkansas. Tailback LaDarius Perkins, who missed the LSU game with a quad injury, led the way with 91 yards on 17 carries.
He got good help from Nick Griffin, who had a 60-yard touchdown run, and Josh Robinson (four carries, 26 yards).
3. Pressure Wilson: Arkansas quarterback Tyler Wilson was sacked twice, and MSU was credited with three QB hurries. He proved elusive at times, but the defensive line and linebackers did a solid job of not letting Wilson be comfortable all the time.
Good coverage downfield helped as much as anything.
LaDarius Perkins: Besides his rushing totals, Perkins caught three passes for 40 yards and two touchdowns. His 13-yard TD opened the game's scoring, and a 24-yard score gave MSU a 31-14 lead late in the third quarter.
Bottom line
MSU got back to doing what had worked so well during its 7-0 start: Forcing turnovers, running the ball and stepping on the gas in the second half. There should be plenty of confidence heading into the Egg Bowl.


text: I was out training with my 8 month old Grady pup this morning when I say something that I have never seen before. He was splashing through a belly deep piece of water with duck in mouth when he came to an abrupt halt. After blowing on my whistle a couple of times I noticed a circle of miniature waves cascading away from him, HE WAS TAKING A PEE. He obviously had to go really bad because he stood there for the longest time before he finally brought the duck on in. As you can see by the picture, he thought it was pretty funny.

Apparently, Stormynature & naf456 justified it quite well. I appreciate their responses.
Did you read their responses? Naf's was pretty much as vague as yours, and Stormynature didn't really offer an opinions.
It's not like there's a shortage of things to dislike about windows. Coming up with a list shouldn't be that hard, and then we can have an actual discussion instead of a collective circle jerk of vagueness.
My main issues with Windows are:
1) Poor driver support for some older hardware. (Allthough this is primarily the vendors fault)
2) Annoyingly hard to load unsigned drivers (which makes problem 1 worse)
3) Poor support for multiple monitors. (Ok, i can expand my desktop to cover all monitors or mirror my displays, but why don't i get separate taskbars and taskswitchers, shortcuts to move applications between monitors, and other usability features ?) (There are some really good third party apps for this though but they cost almost as much as the OS itself and it should be a standard feature these days)
4) no solid package manager to speak of, (The add/remove software thingy in the control panel is so insanely slow that its not even funny and it can't be used to actually install software)
5) insanely buggy sleep on my desktop (works great on my laptop though)
6) No HUD.
Unfortunatly similar issues exist on all platforms.i had to switch from Ubuntu 12.04 to Linux Mint since Ubuntu insisted on using an older nvidia driver that was buggy as .... (why the heck would they use a broken display driver in a LTS release for several months after a fixed driver has been released ?)and it didn't make it easy to drop out of X to install a newer driver manually, it was quite a big letdown (i really liked the HUD in Unity though and wish Windows and Mint had something similar),
My problems with Linux Mint right now are:
1) Poor flash performance (annoying if you want to play the more demanding flash games).
2) Graphical glitches with some compiz features. (unfortunatly its the more useful ones such as window tabbing and grouping that are glitchy)
3) I can't get the ssh agent to remember the password for my keys when i open a new terminal, (it works in X but i have to re-enter the password to use my keys from a terminal)
4) No HUD.
5) Slightly buggy sleep/hibernate on my laptop. (havn't tried on the desktop but i'd expect it to fail spectacularly there since Windows struggles with that one)
6) Some of the programs i want to use aren't available and have no really good alternative.
I have no problems with OS X since i don't use Apple products(purely political) but i'm sure it has its share of problems aswell.
Its definitly a problem that Windows is so dominant since it does make the software and driver issues with other platforms harder to overcome (and it is a pain in the ass to find a good, reasonably priced laptop without Windows pre-installed).
as for Win8 i'm not going to judge it until i've used the finished version of it.

The perfect gift for any art enthusiast:Memberships start at just $85.
NARRATOR: In Verdict No 1, a triangle slices across the canvas. The form was based on an image, which DeFeo found in Scientific American, of an airplane causing a sonic boom shock wave. DeFeo was fascinated with the idea of a noise becoming visible, and with the form of the triangle moving quickly through space.
DeFeo painted Verdict No. 1 in 1982. It was the first painting that she'd made in oil on canvas since completing The Rose sixteen years before. Leah Levy.
LEAH LEVY: These early paintings and the ones that followed them in the 1980s are a celebration of her return to color, to a canvas that was flexible and responsive in a different way to the oil paint that she always loved more than acrylic.
NARRATOR: Even working in this traditional medium, DeFeo experimented with her materials.
LEAH LEVY: In her new Oakland studio where this work was completed, DeFeo had boxes of tape of various sizes, colors, textures and widths, and Verdict No. 1 is an exceptional example of her incorporating and collaging those additional materials into her paintings.
NARRATOR: DeFeo used this tape—among other things—to lend the paint a depth and texture it wouldn't otherwise have.
LEAH LEVY: Here, we can't tell even with careful examination sometimes what's oil paint, what's tape, where the edges of one form end and the tape begins, or what the layers of paint are that look like tape.
