About the Stanley Drama Award
The Stanley Drama Award was established in 1957 by Staten Island philanthropist Alma Guyon Timolat Stanley and endowed through the Stanley-Timolat Foundation to encourage and support aspiring playwrights. The national Stanley Award competition is administered by the Wagner College Theatre program, listed for the last decade among the top five college theater programs in the country in the Princeton Review's annual Best Colleges Guide. The award carries with it a monetary prize along with the distinction of joining the illustrious list of past Stanley Award winners.
The Stanley Drama Award has a long and distinguished history. Past winners include Terrence McNally's "This Side of the Door" (aka "Things That Go Bump in the Night"), Lonne Elder III's "Ceremonies in Dark Old Men," and Jonathan Larson's "Rent." Among those judging for the Stanley Award have been playwrights Edward Albee and Paul Zindel, actresses Geraldine Page and Kim Stanley, and TV producer/pioneer talk-show host David Susskind.
2013 Stanley Drama Award winner: Brian Mulholland's 'The Return of Tartuffe'
He's returned — that 17th century con man whose delicious comic villainy has made him an audience favorite for over 300 years. In this sequel to Molière's comedy — written, like the original, in rhyming couplets — Tartuffe finds himself exiled to the American colonies, where he meets the target for his next swindle, the eminent author and theologian, Cotton Mather. Tartuffe's arrival coincides with the debate raging over the controversial concept of inoculation — a debate that Mather, a fierce proponent of the idea, is losing. With one of his typical tall tales, Tartuffe swings the debate in Cotton's favor, thus ingratiating himself and setting up Cotton as his mark.
Tartuffe also devises a unique seduction based on "inoculation theory," while a family debate brews over the honesty of his intentions. Traps are planned — and countered; tables are turned — and countered — and finally, turned again. Will Tartuffe's new and improved flim-flams carry the day? Has the great exploiter of over-piousness found his feeding ground in the heart of the Puritan experiment? Or will "righteousness" prevail? This comic romp will have you guessing right up to the end.
Playwright Brian Mulholland, a Rhode Island native, now lives in Cincinnati. "The Return of Tartuffe" is his first play. Mulholland's previous theatrical experience has been as an actor. He has appeared in leading roles at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, the Montana Rep, Southwest Shakespeare Festival, Dartmouth Summer Repertory and Seattle's Palace and Cirque theaters, among others.
2013 Stanley Drama Award finalist: Rob Winn Anderson's 'The Tenth Son'
It is the summer of 1722. The heat of the day pales in comparison to the turbulent relationship 16-year old Benjamin Franklin has with his older brother, James, and the intense passion he has found in the arms of a somewhat older Mary Beekman.
When James attempts to restrain what he considers Ben's growing arrogance, Ben challenges him, with Mary's help. In so doing, Ben becomes embroiled in a battle of medicine, religion and political manipulations. He must rely on all of his instincts to stealthily maneuver his way onto the pages of James' newspaper, The New England Courant, stand toe-to-toe with an influential Puritan minister and outwit two men determined to stir the pot and control not only the paper but Boston as well.
Fall arrives, and with it comes a glimpse into the man Benjamin Franklin is destined to become. As his life is turned upside down, Ben discovers that silence is no longer an effective tool, and that in order to have a voice you must use your voice.
"The Tenth Son" also won the 2012 Brian Christopher Wolk Award from Manhattan's Abingdon Theatre.
Playwright Rob Winn Anderson, of Orlando, Fla., is also a freelance director and choreographer. In addition to his writing and directing for the stage, he is a noted theme park director for such clients as Walt Disney World, Busch Gardens and Sea World. Upcoming productions of his award-winning work include "A Tennessee Walk" at the Southern Appalachian Repertory Theatre and Jacksonville State University, and "A Fine Line" at the Clockwise Theatre. Other award-winning plays by Anderson include "The Locker" and "Broad Strokes." Anderson was a resident playwright at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in October 2003 under Master Artist Eric Bogosian. Anderson is also an alumnus of the Lincoln Center Directors Lab, the Kennedy Center Playwriting Intensive, the Sewanee Writers' Conference and the Great Plains Theatre Conference.
2013 Stanley Drama Award finalist: Harold Ellis Clark's 'Tour Detour'
Set four months before the 2008 U.S. presidential election, a son, just prior to embarking on his fourth tour of duty in Afghanistan, visits his father who's serving a life sentence at a Central Louisiana prison. They haven't seen each other in twenty-six years.
Playwright Harold Ellis Clark of Gretna, La., began writing plays in 2010 at the suggestion of a local New Orleans actor who was impressed with the dialogue in one of his unpublished novels, "Marrero Action," a finalist for the 2007 William Faulkner-William Wisdom by the Pirate's Alley Faulkner Society. "Marrero Action" opened in March 2011 at the Anthony Bean Community Theater in New Orleans. Among his other work is the screenplay "Urban Realities" (2000), and the play "Fishers of Men," which opened in June 2012 at Dillard University's Cook Theatre in New Orleans. His current work-in-progress is titled "We Live Here."
For nearly 10 years, Clark has been the host and producer of WYLD-FM's "Sunday Journal with Hal Clark," a four-time winner of the Best Radio Talk Show award at the annual Press Club of New Orleans Excellence in Journalism competition. Clark also works as executive associate to the chancellor at Southern University at New Orleans.
Guest presenter David Ives was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play last year for "Venus in Fur." He is otherwise perhaps best known for his evening of one-act comedies, "All in the Timing," winner of the Outer Critics Circle Playwriting Award, and "Time Flies." Other plays include: "New Jerusalem," winner of the Hull-Warriner Award; "The Liar," adapted from Corneille, and winner of the Charles MacArthur Award; "The School for Lies," adapted from Molière's "The Misanthrope"; "The Heir Apparent," adapted from J-F. Regnard; "Is He Dead?", adapted from Mark Twain, and "Polish Joke." He has translated Feydeau's "A Flea In Her Ear," winner of a Joseph Jefferson Award, and has adapted 33 musicals for the New York City Center's celebrated "Encores!" series. A former Guggenheim Fellow in playwriting, David Ives lives in New York City.

Even though I've seen the name Amped Wireless at the local Best Buy, Walmart, and online at Newegg, I've never used any of their products. When you take a look at their web page, you will see tons of networking products like routers, USB adapters, antenna boosters, range extenders, and Access Points just to name a few. All of this equipment is designed to the same common requirement: To give their Amped Wireless users high-quality, long range products using advanced technology. Not an overly complicated mission, but one that many larger and more established networking companies sometimes forget. Because Amped Wireless is only about networking and not servers, or other computer hardware, all of their focus is in delivering quality user peripherals.
Turning back to the Amped R20000G Dual Band Router we have for today's review, it actually looks very good on paper. The router features Dual Low Noise, High Power 600mW 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz Amplifiers as well as two dual-band external antennas. The Amped line of networking products are designed to give users longer range performance in their network so we expect the R20000G to show us something special.
The R20000G is also powered by a powerful 620MHz internal processor designed for computing networking commands quickly and efficiently for better wired and wireless speeds.
R20000G Product Features:
The router has been available in stores for a few months and has an MSRP of $179.99. This price point of the R20000G is right near other top-performing N900 routers like the Netgear WND4500 and the recently reviewed ASUS RT-N66U. Right now, you can get this router from your favorite store or online vendor for under $160 shipped.
Let's take a look at the interface as we set up the Amped Wireless R20000G for the first time.

GLENDORA, Calif. --
"We are pleased to welcome Ken Clapp and Mike Cohen to the NHRA Board of Directors," Gardner said. "The balance required to serve all of the constituencies in our sport - from members and track owners to participants, sponsors, fans and beyond - is complex and becomes more so with each passing year. These two individuals bring strong backgrounds and a wealth of experience that will strengthen NHRA as we continue to move forward."
A pioneering race promoter on the West Coast, Clapp, a native of Danville, Calif., has a distinguished background in motorsports and has worked in a variety of executive positions at the sport's top levels. In the late 1960s and early 1970s Clapp served as the vice president of marketing and public relations for Sears Point Raceway (now Infineon Raceway) which led to a two-year stint as the director of marketing and public relations for Auto Week magazine. In 1977, Clapp purchased 12 racetracks throughout the west and managed those facilities until he joined NASCAR in an official capacity, serving first as the stock car sanctioning body's vice president for western operations and later as its vice president for marketing and development. Clapp retired from NASCAR in 1999 but continues to serve as a senior consultant. Two of his biggest achievements were playing a key role in the creation of Sears Point Raceway and bringing NASCAR's marquee Cup Series to the Northern California road course in 1989. His first work in the world of drag racing came in 1969 when he helped promote a Funny Car event at Sears Point.
Cohen is a partner in Morrison & Foerster LLP, a major national and international law firm. He heads the Corporate Finance Practice Group out of the firm's Los Angeles office. He has been practicing law for more than 38 years and specializes in corporate, real estate, and other business transactions with a focus on mergers and acquisitions. Cohen, whose professional experience includes auto racing and other professional sports, cable television, print media, branded apparel and professional service companies, was named a Best Lawyer in America in the field of Corporate Law in 2009 and 2010. Prior to joining Morrison & Foerster, Cohen was managing partner and a member of the executive committee for the Los Angeles office of Donovan, Leisure, Newton & Irvine.
Clapp and Cohen will join current board members Gardner, NHRA President Tom Compton, NHRA Executive Vice President Peter Clifford and NHRA Senior Vice President of Racing Operations Graham Light effective immediately.

Islanders at Capitals – 10/30/2009
The Capitals enter tonight's contest seeking their seventh straight win following a victory over the Atlanta Thrashers last night. The team, especially Alexander Ovechkin, is on a tear and has brought about this winning streak with their continued offensive power and improved defense. Against Atlanta, Ovechkin tied an NHL record with six multi-goal games in one month. In 12 games, Ovechkin has 13 goals and 22 points, both tops in the NHL. Over the past week and a half, the team has also received positive contributions from young call-ups Keith Aucoin and Alexandre Giroux, which is a great sign for a team already stacked with veteran star power.

Eating Is a Basic Need
Kimberly Kuchinksi, MD, MPH, FAAPMR
Yes, eating is a basic need, but approximately 25 percent of children have some form of feeding disorder. This number increases to 80 percent in developmentally delayed children. Improper early nutrition can present as growth issues, failure to thrive and susceptibility to chronic illness.
Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Pediatric Unit's Transitions Feeding Program is an intensive, inpatient program designed to help children with a variety of feeding challenges. The program can help:
wean children from supplemental tube feedings prevent gastrostomy tube placement in the failure to thrive population
assist children who have not made nutritional gains in outpatient programs
improve oral motor function
work toward decreasing oral aversions
improve the child's mealtime experiences
The program also helps to improve safety and efficiency with eating, promote proper nutrition and weight gain and prevent the development of serious health problems or tube dependency in infants and children with a range of feeding disorders.
The primary program goal is to establish developmentally appropriate feeding patterns that can be maintained at home. The program provides gastrostomy tube feeding management and promotes transitions from tube feeding to oral feeding. It also assists children who have had multiple surgeries and those with difficulty transitioning from bottle to solid food.
It's important to diagnose the root cause of the problem and then treat all aspects of the disorder.
The Transitions Feeding Program uses a developmentally based, child-driven approach. This means custom tailoring a structured program for each child. After treating the medical issues, we teach children not to be fearful of food. We let them play with their food to help overcome oral and textural aversions. A critical part of the success of the feeding program is intense family training to ensure a successful discharge.
A pediatric hospitalist medically manages the patient, along with a board-certified pediatric physiatrist who oversees the intervention team. The multidisciplinary team is the cornerstone of rehabilitation in general, and Good Shepherd employs this model.
Proper feeding practices improve overall patient and family well being. This was never more apparent than with a recent 3-year-old patient who would vomit at the site of food preparation. He was exclusively G-tube fed and had six to eight bowel movements a day. Within one month of treatment he went out to dinner with his family and was sampling food off of their plates.
Left untreated, feeding problems tend to persist and worsen over time. The clinicians at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Pediatric Unit provide comprehensive rehabilitation care to children up to the age of 21.

She provides expert inpatient and outpatient care at Good Shepherd Rehabilitation Hospital Pediatric Unit in Bethlehem, PA, where she specializes in the care of children with cerebral palsy, selected developmental disorders, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, acquired and traumatic brain injury, spinal cord injuries, childhood stroke and concussion management

Thanks everyone!
I would like to see everyone else's when they are done. This is like on Pendako's forum, they have a section called "Color Me" and people post line art for other to color.
I'm glad other people wanted to color my picture. I'll post the line art when I do another.

Here's my shot (my first try at coloring), although I haven't shaded it yet, just the basic colors. Oh well..
btw, you may notice that I've removed a few things from the lineart. Those were things that I didn't know what it was so instead of not coloring them I removed them
and also, how do you make shadings look that good?? The only tool i've used in photoshop to make shadows is the burn tool, but it doesn't get that good. Is there some other tool?
|2003-11-28, 12:48
|Link #31
is dime-a-dozen
i usually use the multiply and screen brushes, then maybe a little bit of white on hilights, and black on shadows to give them a little bit more contrast. then blend it w/ smudge tool until it looks like a smooth gradient then blur it so the edges of the gradient aren't easily seen. that's how i do it anyway...
it takes some work

As for being a "pro". Well it depends on your definition of "pro" I have been paid for my art for a little over a year now. My portfolio on my website is all of the work that I have been paid to do. Well, at least the published work, I can't post the more recent stuff that hasn't been published yet.
I personally like this piece a lot because I feel that I was able to capture about 80% of the original art style. What was flattering is that I had print outs of this picture for sale at the last show I did and someone thought it was original art and not fan art. The problem was that they thought that I just downloaded the picture and printed it.

The book is filled with insightful lessons about leadership, management, and competitiveness, and outlines the tools and principles that can help any company manage successfully in extraordinary economic times.

Love Lab 9/10
It's great for what it is, a comedy.
I laughed a lot.
Rec: To everyone.
Free! 9/10
Those animations, that water <3
Hot guys.
Just finished off Attack on Titan today after seeing so many people say good things about it., I enjoyed the very lovely animation and soundtrack along with the classical European look of the buildings and everything else it's a very cool looking series that reminded me a little of Full Metal Alchemist both in the setting and the dark tone mixed with some comedy. I enjoyed the gorefest action and some of the characters were fun. I really enjoy strong female characters i'm never a fan of the damsel in distress types so characters like Mikasa and Annie are my cup of tea.
I think most people will enjoy this series it's pretty accessible and it's just fun to watch. It has some downsides which i'll cover since some spoilers are involved.
Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hide
First downside is the fact so many characters exist just to be Titan food and i can kind of understand them wanting to make it shocking but we barely learn much about characters before they die so it's hard to feel bad when they die. Also the storyline in the anime moves so slow. Of course some would tell me to read the Manga but i think the anime deserves to be more satisfying too. There is an awful lot of questions and build up with no pay off at all. That isn't really good storytelling.
I think the fact people can become Titan's kind of makes it lose it's edge a bit. I guess i can kind of understand them wanting to do that but i think it was more fun when they were normal people building technology and facing incredible odds to win. Having their own Titans makes the enemy seem less threatening.
Also on the character i kind of wish Eren and Annie got some time together to try and put some context to their apparent feelings towards one another. It seems to suggest it but we barely saw them interact apart from one major scene during training.
I hope the next season as it seems like it'll be coming will offer a bit better pacing and some more connection to the characters so when they die it means something other than "lol he went splat"
In short. Watch it because it's great fun and doesn't try to be anything that it's not. The setting and ideas it has are really cool and the action scenes will have you coming back for more.
Rating it 8/10

Name of Anime: Tamako Market
Comments/Review: This series was pretty much like K-On!, but with mochi and an annoying talking bird...but at the same time I'm not at all saying this is a bad series. It's basically cute girls doing cute things like K-On! managed to do, however, as much as I disliked K-On!, I found Tamako Market a lot more entertaining. The reason for this is probably that there was a lot more going on throughout this series than in K-On!, where all they did was sit at their club and eat sweets and drank tea.....not much music playing happened at all cuz'...you know...their a light music club -__-. Anyways, I did find this series a bit more entertaining and the best part was that I wanted to eat some mochi the entire time I watched this series lol X3. I didn't care much for the OP or OST, but the ED was very good and I listened to it every episode. The characters were okay, just none of them I would call my favorite at all.
Rating: 7/10
Reccommended: Yes, but only if you have nothing better to do or watch. If you do have better things to watch, than don't bother watching Tamako Market, you won't be missiong out if you don't watch this

Strike Witches Season 1
Comment / Review: Just in case you haven't heard of Strike Witches, here's the premise. A mysterious alien race is attacking a steampunky WW2-era Earth for reasons unknown, so it's up to the Strike Witches to take them all down and defend Earth. Due to [purely scientific reasons], the Strike Witches all happen to be teenage girls (with the exception of one 20-year-old), and they aren't allowed to wear proper pants (to allow for their magic-enhancing fighter plane legs, which are pretty cool).
So yeah, lolis, aliens, friendship, dynamic 3D action shots, dynamic 3d panty shots.
Definitely was not bad to watch. It was even a little better than I expected. But I suppose it wasn't mind-blowing enough for me to tell everyone I know about it, lol. It's definitely TV-MA, just in case you had any doubts on that front. I'll hold off on the second season for a little bit, because my panty-shot quota has been filled for the rest of the year at least.
Rating: 8.5/10
Recommended? You probably already know if you'll like it or not.
Last Exile - Fam the Silver Wing
The original Last Exile that came out in 2003 is my all time favorite series. Despite the great visuals and soundtrack, Fam was disappointing in storytelling and character development aspects.
ef: A Tale of Memories
old fantasy romance from 2007 by studio Shaft. Quite confusing at the first few episodes but it really ends nicely with majority of the story resolved. As per Shaft quirky but great directing... the visuals were ok for an old series. The music is pretty average IMO too. I'd recommend for anyone looking for a romance anime.
edit: Actually I'll take back what I said about the music. The music is actually very good and they mostly fit and enhance the scenes.

I just finished this one last night! It was pretty good, but I feel like it didn't have to be 24 episodes, the whole pyramid scheme arc was pointless, and if they had just focused on the three main characters it would've been a whole lot better.
Only just finished Sunday Without God and damn...in in tears
"Wow, I have just finished this series and simply put, it's one of the finest out there. From the very first episode you will be hooked on the story, characters, beautiful animation and stunning music. I have never found an anime which could start and end perfectly in 3 episodes until this one. However the story grows strong and every episode is a sheer delight to watch. it will bring laughter, happiness but also a lot of tears. All the characters are amazing. You can connect with them and relate to how they feel which will make it personal to you and that much more emotional to watch. With there being such popular animes around such as "Attack On Titan", animes like this might get overlooked; but I haven't overlooked this and nor should anyone else. It's simply breathtaking, gripping and everything an anime should be. From start to finish it's top class in every degree! only WISH there to be a second season. I truly do <3"
Swim Free!! <3
Deadman Wonderland.
Good anime but doesnt have an ending (because it aired at the same time the manga was still being made)
Recommend reading the manga if you watch the anime.

Going to college in Canada sounds pretty interesting. I'm not sure why it's called SAINT Thomas University though. Is it Catholic?

Students who like a; Smaller class setting (the first year courses tend to be a bit more crowded that upper year courses, but they never exceed 50 or so. You will never lost in a sea of strange faces), and a semi tight- knit community will love it here! The more you get out of your dorm room the more faces you'll meet and the more people you'll recognize and get to know. It's very easy to make friends so you'll never have to worry about being a loner, but if alone is what you want you can easily do that as well whether it be for some study time (There is a study hall available for use for as late at 11PM on most days) or just some much needed down time.
Tips for prospective students
1. Make sure that a Liberal Arts education is what you're looking for. If you're someone who just wants to go off to university, take remedial courses and do exactly what that school tells you to do and take what they tell you to take right off the bat (i.e. Math, English, History, Science) all in your first year then I wouldn't suggest STU. The first year here is meant to be a year where, as a new student, you can take whatever courses you want. This is especially good for someone who doesn't know exactly what they want to do because you can get a feel for everything before making a final decision. 2. Come up for a visit before deciding that this is the school for you. Even if you feel completely sure that it is. If you're not from Canada, it may be hard to do so, but if you can't do that talk to some of the students that currently attend. There are various Facebook pages in addition to the STU website (STU.ca) that can easily connect you to anyone on campus. It doesn't have to be a school administrator. 3. (If you are an international student) Secure funds! Make sure you can afford to come here. There are various grants and bursaries that STU gives out so keep a look out for them. The first few come right in the application package which you can either request or download and print right off the website.
Bang for the buck
As an international student I do pay a bit more than a student who is a Canadian Citizen, but for everything that my paying the extra for covers, it seems more than worth it.
Am enjoying being here
From the moment I stepped foot onto campus (which was at around midnight) I was; warmly greeted by fellow freshman who helped me into the building, the residence advisers are (for the most part) very helpful, and the atmosphere is amazing! There's always something to do you just have to make sure you look out for it! Always check your STU e-mail or take a glance at the bulletin boards in every building, or even on the back of the bathroom stall doors. They're always very informative and offer up a lot of information on volunteering, open job positions on campus or just something to do on the odd Tuesday night.
Am learning a lot
I am currently only a freshman, so I haven't been attending STU for very long, but the Prof.'s that I have encountered have all been incredibly friendly and more than supportive. They're always willing to go the extra step and take time out of their own lives to help and assist you so that you better understand. There's no need to ever feel lost and confused. If you do ever feel that way there is Peer Tutoring, Academic Advisers, and a writing Center to assist you with your writing skills. They are all covered by your tuition.

A San Antonio man has been arrested after police say DNA evidence helped them link him to the rape and attempted murder of a 15-year-old Colorado girl in 1997.
The San Antonio Express-News reports results from a DNA sample taken from the girl's body led police to 42-year-old Ray Ojeda, whose DNA is catalogued in an FBI database of criminal offenders
Ojeda is currently being held in the Bexar County Jail without bond, awaiting extradition to Colorado.
Authorities in Denver say at the time of the attack, the girl was walking home from her boyfriend's house when she was kidnapped at gunpoint, taken to a nearby river and raped. The assailant then shot her in the forehead and left her there. She was able to later run to safety.

The community is rallying around the family of a Breakfast Point Academy teacher who passed away suddenly. Jason Mann, a happily married father of two, was a teacher of children with autism. He passed away unexpectedly from an illness on December 23rd at the age of 42.
Parents say he was well known for making a huge difference in the lives of autistic children in the community. A parent, Allison Albano, had this to say about Jason: "Your child had a bad day, he was still smiling. He was able to turn lemons into lemonade. And still smile laugh and make you feel like your child was special."
Jason's wife is also a teacher at Breakfast Point Academy. The loss is hitting the school, the district, and the Panama City Beach community very hard. Fellow teachers Lori Fitzgerald and Erin Brack joined NewsChannel 7 "Today" with more on what's being done to help Jason's family.
They are planning a golf ball drop for the Mann family on Wednesday, February 19th at 5pm at the Hombre Golf Course. Each golf ball is $10. They plan to drop up to 1600 numbered balls from a fire truck ladder, if your numbered ball goes in the hole, you could win $1,000. The public can purchase the balls at the Hombre Golf Academy or the Supercuts location off of Back Beach Road.
There is also a Facebook page to support the family where you can find more information about this event, just click on the link provided.

Nancy Grace hammers home the news that the kid's bodies are still lying where they fell and what about the poor parents.
Nothing like an effing ghoul making sure we hear every gory detail.
Our media is pretty tame compared to the media in Mexico.
There is a mexican 'rag' called ALARMA. (I wondered if it was still being published all these years later, and yep it's still going strong........)
We called it the "crash book" because of the pictures in it.
They had no problem publishing photos of people that had died grisly deaths - Nothing like seeing a person all tangled up in a death pose after an auto accident.
The Media down Mexico Way is nothing like the morons we have here in the US.
Cue the intro of the "School Shooting Massacre" with the eerie music in the background.

Once upon a time if you wanted to make a movie you needed a lot of money and a lot of connections. If you wanted to get that movie distributed and marketed that was much harder still. The barriers to entry for the business were enormous and those that controlled it guarded it jealously. Now there are signs that the walls have not only started to come down but are being systematically destroyed on all fronts.
Being able to start to make films cheaply really came to the world's attention with the Blair Witch Project and since its debut in 1999 there have been countless other examples of creative minds grabbing a camera and filming. But now crowdfunding is making it possible to make bigger budget movies by independents too for example Iron Sky. The low cost and high production quality of modern cameras and editing software like Apple's Final Cut Pro or Adobe Creative Suite mean that we can expect more content like Iron Sky.
Iron Sky is probably the biggest surprise from the world of independent Sci-Fi movies. Now, did you expect this level of effects from an indie movie maker?
But the real big change is more profound. Being able to stream content across the internet is revolutionizing the movie industry in ways never imagined. Frustrated at the lack of access to current and premium content streaming providers like Amazon and Netflix are looking towards finding and making their own in house content. This week Amazon announced its own kid's shows. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings has made it clear that they will increasingly look like a cable channel with their own content. Now it looks like Facebook will start to provide content, how soon till they too find the need to commission their own movies as well?
A little while ago gamers began to realize that by recording the actions of their on line avatars they could turn their games into short movies. The famous success story of this is Red vs. Blue which is a lot of fun. But with a HD camera, an idea, a script what's to say that anyone of us cannot become makers and providers of our own TV and movie content too? Before anyone shouts at the screen "that's YouTube" – yes, there are channels for popular regular submissions. What I have in mind however are homemade miniseries for the web like "The Confession". Perhaps the next Spielberg is out there and will find his break this way?

I hear often that when something new appears that "competition is good". The primary reasons competition is seen as good, are: it drives down prices; it gives consumers more choice; it pushes technology forward, quicker. Competition is not good because: competition is why consumers have to choose between HD-DVD and BluRay; competition is why DRM exists; and more. In this article, each of the supposed benefits of competition will be looked at in more detail.

"Greed is why DRM exists. Some companies believe strong control over their content is the best way to sell more content because they can prevent sharing."
Good point. I hear MSFT's DRM schemes built into Vista defended because "they are just what they have to as the production companies mandated the DRM" - that's nonsense because a)MSFT invented WM DRM in the first place and b)MSFT owns and promotes HD-DVD.
So it's not HD-DVD vs. Blu-Ray, its MSFT vs. Sony.
Don't believe either one of their smoke and mirror acts.

Sony Unveils its First OLED Professional Field Monitor
Sony Unveils its First OLED Professional Field Monitor
Asia-Pacific, May 7, 2010 – Sony is bringing the stunning technology that revolutionized consumer displays to its line of professional monitors. The new PVM-740 is the first field display to use an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display panel with Sony's unique Super Top Emission technology to efficiently deliver superb high contrast and vibrant color images, even in adverse lighting conditions.
Incorporating a 10-bit panel driver, the 7.4-inch high-resolution portable monitor creates life-like and smoother-than-ever gradation from dark to bright portions of a scene, such as in a sunrise or sunset. Its high-contrast imagery allows the deep black of a night scene be accurately displayed without the black portion of the image being raised, even in a low-illumination edit suite. As the black color is deep, peak brightness becomes more intense and can brilliantly express sparkling town lights and stars in the night sky.
Its blur-free, quick response to fast motion is perfect for sports or camera monitoring during panning and text scrolling. With its picture contrast greater than a CRT display, it is less affected by ambient light, allowing images to be viewed even in strong sunlight.
"Another breakthrough innovation from Sony, the PVM-740 is the industry's first OLED professional field monitor with Super Top Emission™ technology. With its excellent contrast, enhanced glare resistance, precisely vivid images and a full complement of functionalities, it sets the standard for critical field monitoring," said Paul Maroni, Assistant General Manager of Live Productions, Business Professional Products Asia Pacific, Sony Asia Pacific.
Sony's unique ChromaTRU technologies and 10-bit panel driver work effectively to emulate colors and gammas of CRT monitors, and to support broadcast standards (SMPTE-C, EBU, and ITU-R BT.709). The PVM-740 monitor is also equipped with Sony's unique feed-back circuit which works to monitor the light output and feed-back information to ensure precise white balance. This system ensures consistent color and gamma accuracy.
AR coating provides protection from scratches and enables a high transmission rate of the internal light source to keep the picture as bright as possible, while keeping reflection from ambient light to a minimum. As a result, when used in bright lighting conditions, high contrast is still maintained even in dark areas of the picture.
The versatile monitor can be used for a wide range of professional monitoring applications including acquisition, field production, research and development, outside broadcast (OB) trucks and even in 3D camera rigs with its flip mode. In the 3D rig, the monitor can flip a picture horizontally or vertically without frame delay. This feature is useful during 3D image acquisition using a 3D rig camera with a pair of 2D monitors. The monitor can be connected to the camera systems directly without need for an external signal converter, making system integration simpler.
A unique native scan function reproduces images without changing the input signal's pixel count – mapping the pixel of the input signal on the panel pixel-to-pixel. For example, when an SD signal is input, the monitor reproduces the image at picture sizes of 646 x 487 pixels in 480i and 480p, and 768 x 540 pixels in 575i and 576p.
The PVM-740 is equipped with standard interface connectors: a composite video, a 3G/HD/SD- SDI, and a HDMI interface. It accepts both SD and HD video formats. With the 3G-SDI interface, it accepts 1080/50p and 1080/60p formats, which is compliant with the SMPTE 425 standard, transmitting up to 4:2:2/10-bit 1080/60p and 1080/50p video data using one SDI cable. As sports and live production move toward a 1080p system, this single-link 3G-SDI system can be an ideal solution.
HDMI connectivity further expands the monitor's potential applications. For example, the PVM-740 monitor can connect with professional video systems such as Sony's XDCAM HD,XDCAM EX, NXCAM, and HDV series. Consumer video products such as Blu-ray Disc and digital cameras can also be connected, ideal for Blu-ray video authoring or digital photo image previews.
With a simplistic design and rich in functionality, the new monitor also adds AC/DC operations, a convenient control panel with luminous and assignable buttons, a camera focus function, a wave form monitor, 8-channel audio level meter, a variety of marker settings, and native scanning capabilities.
The PVM-740 monitor is available now.

Even our hardened panel of cynical scribes sees a classic opener brewing at 1410 S. Museum Campus Drive on Sunday (1 p.m.-Cincinnati's Channel 12) with a pair of 10-6 teams squaring off and defense in the center of it all at Soldier Field.
The Bengals.com media roundtable is split down the middle, but everyone agrees the Bengals and Bears are going right to the wire. Two of the four picks are 24-23 with Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune offering the biggest spread in a 24-21 Cincinnati victory.
Biggs, who has been in the trenches at The Tribune for 13 years after also covering the Bears for the Chicago Sun-Times, gives the Bengals the edge because of their Fortune 500 Front working against Chicago's revamped and inexperienced offensive line. But he also admits it's "a great game out of the chute."
John Mullin, who covered the Bears for two papers before moving to Comcast Sports and csnchicago.com, says the Bengals are the best team the Bears face in 2013. He also sees a one-point Bears victory given that their defense is at home.
Even Pete Prisco, the CBSSports.com pundit who picked the Bengals to win it all, doesn't give this club much room up in Chicago while predicting Cincinnati's one-point win. He's also going with defense and
Let's go around the table:
There are five games this week where, 'Wow, what's going to happen?'
Lovie Smith went 10-6 last year, had a winning record in Chicago, went to a Super Bowl and got fired. They made it clear it was because of the offense. Marc Trestman is going to get the offense right.
I fall into that category that Jay Cutler is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and a lot of people, like Phil Simms, feel that way. Marc will bring out the best in Jay. They have weapons. Brandon Marshall. I think Alshon Jeffery will have a breakout year. They've got Martellus Bennett at tight end. You have to cover big receivers. They're going to distribute the ball. I think they feel internally if it is a Marshall-laden offense, it won't be successful.
I think another big hire for them is Aaron Kromer coaching the offensive line. He's one of the best guys in the league. I also think Paul Alexander for the Bengals is good. Kromer is going to make them better and that's really going to help Cutler.
When you look at the AFC, there aren't many teams that can get to the Super Bowl. The Bengals are one. The Broncos are one. The Patriots are one.
THE EDGE: Bears, 24-23. I think the Bears defense is going to be really, really good. It's at home. The offense is going to be good. Having a Matt Forte at running back, Jay Cutler, the offensive line is improved. Can it deal with the Bengals front? That's it, there's the game. It goes from a seven-step drop to a five-step drop passing game to get the ball out quicker and help those guys up front.
You don't have to be a student of the game to know there are questions about the Bears offensive line and no questions about the Bengals defensive line. That's why Marc Trestman is there. In my power ranking this week I've got the Bengals as my top AFC team because the Broncos don't have Von Miller and Champ Bailey. I don't have the Bears in the top 10 and yet I'm picking them. Something doesn't add up, but you look at the big picture and the Bengals are going. But it's one game at home. Not all the home teams win, but … I reserve the right to change my mind.
Starting two rookie offensive linemen is going to be a problem going against one of the best defensive lines in football. Having one rookie on the offensive line is hard enough, but two on one side ... I think they're probably going to be good players, but it's still their first NFL start. That's a tough matchup. Geno Atkins and
People don't realize how valuable
But the Bengals have a different dynamic on offense now. It used to be all
THE EDGE: Bengals, 24-23. Close. I think they force Cutler to make some bad throws and I really like the Bengals defense in that situation.
The Bears have made a lot of changes on their offensive line and it's not a great matchup for them with the Bengals offensive line. Kyle Long, their No. 1 pick, has had a really good preseason at right guard. Jordan Mills, their fifth-round pick out of Louisiana Tech, got promoted to right tackle after the first preseason game. The Bears like him, but we're not talking about an SEC four-year starter. It's going to be interesting to see how it goes for them in the early part of the season.
For all the talk about Marc Trestman being a quarterback guru and fixing Cutler—and to a great degree their success depends on that—but I think Matt Forte is going to be the focal point of the offense. If you look when Trestman was the Raiders offensive coordinator when they went to the Super Bowl, running back Charlie Garner had 90 catches. Forte's skills are a perfect match for this offense.
The Bears should be excellent on defense. That's what leads this team. It was top five last year and all the parts are back except Brian Urlacher and they may get an upgrade there because at the end Urlacher wasn't the Urlacher we knew him to be. Their defensive tackle, Henry Melton, does what Geno Atkins does to a certain extent and at linebacker Lance Briggs is one of the best.
THE EDGE: Bengals, 24-21. This is a great game out of the chute. There are so many great matchups. A.J. Green gong against the Bears cornerbacks that both started in the Pro Bowl. I'm going with the Bengals because of their strength of their defensive front. It's going to be close. It comes down to can Cutler make the plays in the fourth quarter that he hasn't in the past.
The Bears think they're pretty good. Even though four of the five positions are new on the offensive line, the upgrades are substantial. They brought some swagger and there's a fun factor. Of course, that could change the first time Geno Atkins spins them around. The chemistry has gotten better with this group and I think Jay Cutler is better. His confidence level has gone up.
They keep talking about how old this defense is. Julius Peppers, Lance Briggs, Charles Tillman are all 30-plus. But they've not only gotten older, they've gotten smarter and better and there's such quality there that they are making the guys around them better. They really want to leave a mark on this franchise. You haven't heard of the nose tackle Stephen Paea or Henry Melton, the defensive tackle, because a lot of young players have been overlooked amid all the talk about how old the Bears are getting.
THE EDGE: Bears, 21-20. Cutler is talking about efficiency and ball security much more than he ever has and when I think of those two things I think of Andy Dalton. Not a game manager in a negative sense, but somebody who is not going to help you by throwing interceptions. I think these two teams are too good to let the other team run up a big score on them.
Two teams coming off 10-win seasons going at it right out of the gate, but the Bengals should win for two reasons.
Head coach Marvin Lewis is starting his 11th rodeo. His special teams coordinator has been with him for all of them, his defensive coordinator for more than half, and his offensive coordinator for three seasons. Bears rookie head coach Marc Trestman brings an experienced NFL staff into this one, but a new one.
Plus, the Bears are starting a pair of rookies on the right side of the offensive line against arguably the NFL's best defensive line. It's certainly the highest-paid front, but it is games like this it is worth it. A tough opener in hot, hostile conditions against a solid quarterback.
How rare is that?
The Bengals have had just two rookie offensive linemen start Opening Day under Lewis, left guard Eric Steinbach in 2003 and it didn't happen again until Kevin Zeitler at right guard last year. The only time the Bengals have had two rookie Opening Day starters on offense was two years ago when wide receiver A.J. Green and quarterback Andy Dalton did it in Cleveland. But if you're going to start your own era, you have to start the game.
Since the Bengals figure to start the game with Tyler Eifert in a double tight-end set, Lewis will keep his string intact of starting at least one rookie on Opening Day.
(Here's the list: 2012 RG Kevin Zeitler; 2011 WR A.J. Green, QB Andy Dalton; 2010 WR Jordan Shipley; 2009 SLB
So the Bengals should have the experience.
But they have two unsettling injuries with left tackle Andrew Whitworth probably out and converted safety Taylor Mays trying to fill the shoes of the team's best cover backer, Emmanuel Lamur, by learning his new position in a week.
Backup left tackle Anthony Collins is going to be making his 19th NFL start, but his first at left tackle since 2008 and his first-ever against Hall of Famer Julius Peppers. Collins is a steady guy who is quite athletic, but if some are talking about helping the young linemen in Chicago with short drops and quick passes, the Bengals may want to do the same thing to ease the pressure on Collins since they don't usually give their tackles much help.
And even though he probably won't start, Bengals rookie running back Giovani Bernard has a challenging debut in pass protection against an excellent defensive front that may not be as deep as the Bengals but has a formidable front four of its own.
With the Bengals being so good rushing the passer and so good covering in the back end, the best way for teams to attack them has been working the middle of the field with backs and tight ends, and with Lamur out that is really a big concern. And with Trestman known for using the entire field with his backs playing a key role and encouraging quarterback Jay Cutler to take the checkdown pass, the Bengals have to find an answer.
Dalton has had a rough go against top five defenses. In five full games against Baltimore and Pittsburgh, his passer rating has reached the 70s just once and it's well documented what the Texans have done to him in the playoffs.
And while the Bears have two rookies up front, Dalton's two best complementary players, Eifert and Bernard, are also rookies.
But Dalton also has a knack for winning in tough situations with an 11-5 road record. Despite a 58.5 passer rating against the Steelers last December, he made the big throw when he had to and stayed away from the big screwup.
Dalton doesn't get enough credit for keeping the Bengals in games by staying away from the big miscue. He gets ripped for not taking shots, but after he threw 11 picks in the first eight games last season and was instructed to take care of the ball, he threw five the rest of the way and the Bengals finished 7-1.
With the Bears rep for stripping the ball and turning picks into touchdowns (eight last year), Sunday is the perfect spot for Dalton to show how he's grown into a distributor while honing his ability to navigate the Bengals through choppy waters.
And he should have the weapons that allow the Bengals to probe the elite defenses instead of reacting to them.
But in a tight, defensive game like this, forget Dalton and Atkins. This thing will most likely be decided by
Kirkpatrick is going to have to come up big as he starts his sophomore season and shelves the horrific memory of the Dallas preseason game. He'll not only be the fourth cornerback, but he'll be taking the gunner spot opposite Miles covering Hester, the NFL's all-time punt returner with 12 touchdowns.
But covering punts was a huge strength for the Bengals last year and they led the NFL covering punts inside the 5 on their way to leading the league in the special teams top 10 major categories.
And the Bears are going to be worried about Jones's five career punt TDs. He didn't return a punt in the preseason, but special teams coordinator Darrin Simmons remembers 2011. Jones hadn't played for a year, spent the first six weeks of the season on PUP, practiced for a week, and went 63 yards the first time he touched it and would have had that sixth TD if he didn't pull a hamstring.
A tough opener. But if the Bengals do what they've done the past two years—go on the road with good defense and special teams and get one play and no big mistake from Dalton—they're 1-0.

Without any doubt, the last couple of years have been quite turbulent for AMD and often made the headlines in not the most flattering way. Under the new leadership, the company saw the return of some industry legends such as Jim Keller, arguably the best CPU architect on the planet (the person behind VAC in 1980s, Alpha, K7 and x86-64 in 1990s as well as Apple?s AX SoC?s of yesterday, today and tomorrow ? 2014 ?A7? will be the last SoC with Jim?s signature).
The arrival of Jim Keller has already had a profound effect on the company, especially a very risky decision to stop talking about ?execute? and actually start with a realistic roadmap. As a consequence, AMD reshuffled the roadmap and inserted several products which are considered as first generation efforts into the new markets, while giving engineers time to tweak the designs of the big dies. For example, this decision caused Richland platform to slide from Q4 2012 into the Q1 2013 introduction, albeit with completely different specifications (APU became the platform itself).
With the completion of custom silicon for Sony PlayStation 4 and Microsoft Durango (Xbox 720, Xbox Next) during 2012, AMD?s stretched engineering team was reoriented in order to create two new products for 2013: Beema and Richland. While Beema is successor to the recently introduced Temash APU (Brazos 2.0 platform) and scheduled to debut by end of the year, Richland is a low-power platform that debuts right now as the successor to Virgo, AMD?s notebook platform for Trinity APU.
AMD designated Richland as the ?Elite Performance APU Platform?, focusing on delivering Trinity desktop experience in half the power consumption. This ties into the new visual identity, leaving the ?VISION? and ?Fusion? branding behind. New branding is as simple as it gets ?AMD? is followed by the product number and that?s that. The company representatives claimed that the current way of branding products was confusing to the consumer and that the new branding will help the consumers to select their products accordingly. Seeing that we had Fusion A4, Fusion A6, Fusion A8 and Fusion A10 (and then add Fusion E-Series) and a CPU simply branded FX, we understand the need to simplify their product naming.
All of the stickers will be manufactured in high quality, giving a holographic effect. Now, onto the important question:
What Does Richland Bring?
With the Richland platform and the associated silicon, AMD is delivering two lines of products ? Standard and Low Voltage. Standard voltage products are being shipped now, while the Low-Voltage parts are scheduled to debut around Computex Taipei (beginning of June), where the OEMs are going to unveil their new models for the 2013 Back-to-School and Holiday Season sale cycles.
AMD?s ?Elite Performance APU Platform? is a mix?n?match of optimized silicon that should in theory, provide a better experience to the consumer.
AMD put special accent on optimizing hardware for the new user interfaces and you can expect a sea of touchscreen notebooks coming to the markets. Personally, I?ve used a touchscreen on a notebook and it got me hooked to the point that going back to my non-touch Ultrabook resulted in touching the screen during corporate presentations. It?s a good conversation starter, anyways. In order to power the laptop displays, Richland pairs 2-4 Piledriver cores with the (rebranded) Radeon HD 8000 graphics.
AMD?s Richland APU platform comes not just with transistor-optimized clocking, which significantly reduced the power consumption (Trinity vs. Llano) but with a ?bi-directional frequency scaling with extended boos latency based upon ambient temperature?. Translated into English ? AMD put sensors on the die that are checking hot spots on the chip and clocks the APU accordingly. During the talk with Sam Naffziger, AMD Corporate Fellow, we learned how Richland brings third generation of power optimizations that enable maximum performance at minimum power consumption.
The third generation of APU power optimizations brings ?fine grained dynamic power transfers?. This combines the current load of the CPU or GPU with the temperature achieved by the chip. The company integrated a dedicated micro-controller which does nothing else but pays attention to power consumption dynamic. On the notebook parts, Richland APUs will not enable you to overload the CPU and GPU part at the same time, should you try to max out the APU with power virus applications (let?s say running Linpack or Prime alongside with a GPU Burn-in Test).
As Richland silicon is mobile, it has to keep below 35W at all times. This technology is called Hybrid Boost and it will keep the power in check. Hybrid Boost is a combination of hardware and software, with the APU having temperature calculations written into the micro-code which dictate how the actual silicon operates. Given that mobile designs are mostly challenged with the heat dissipation capabilities, Richland pays special attention to the ambient temperature.
After all is said and done, comes the hardware lineup. Richland is divided into four parts, branded A4, A6, A8 and A10 accordingly. The entry-level processor is consisted out of a single ?processing element? based on two Piledriver x86-64 cores and Radeon HD8350G, a 128-core GPU which you can also find on the upcoming Jaguar-based parts (Beema).
The A6 and A8 parts are there for diversity and enhanced product positioning, while the big king of the hill is A10-5750M. This part gathers a lot of attention with its performance. In a mere 35 Watts Max. TDP, AMD managed to cram as much performance as the original 100W Llano offered. We?re talking about four Piledriver x86-64 cores, 384-core GPU (Radeon HD 8350G) with a quite surprising clock. A notebook part at 3.5GHz Turbo mode is something we definitely did not expect, while the GPU can be clocked as high as 720MHz. The part also supports DDR3L-1600 and DDR3-1866 memory for extracting maximum performance out of the embedded GPU.
AMD is no longer ?Hardware Only?, Rich Software Bundles Ahead
In our on and off the record conversations with people close to heart of the matter we heard a lot of details about the rejuvenated AMD. In order to generate cash for the new projects, the company sold its Austin campus, leaving the company with just the two major real estate assets
: HQ in Sunnyvale, California and ATI Technologies U.L.C. campus in Markham, Ontario. This move raised $164 million in cash and generated several kill pieces by various media.
However, the company did not decide to use the fiscal numbers to stay idle but rather to accelerate the market share initiatives. The recently announced Never Settle: Reloaded bundle is probably the main example of how the company is restructuring and pushing to offer more value to the consumer. While those moves attract ridicule from specific short-sighted Intel employees, or knee-jerk reactions from their direct competitors, the consumers are now able to receive between $170 and $320 in free software, with AAA games such as the hit title Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, BioShock Infinity and others. According to sources in the know, the bundles will expand beyond the discrete graphics onto the APU business as well.
For example, the company invited several companies to deliver accelerated applications which are now offered free of charge to its APU customers.
As you can see on the slide above, Richland comes with no less than six 3rd party developed applications for the ?AMD Software Experience?: Gesture Control utilizes the embedded HD camera on most notebooks to enable hands-free operation of the computer. Face Login is something that HP pioneered (and failed to recognize different skin colors) but AMD leverages the performance of its GPU to enable more sampling points, regardless of the skin color.
Screen Mirror is an answer to the growing talks about DaaS (Display as a Service) momentum, similar to WiDi (Wireless Display). This is Miracast service at its best or so AMD hopes.
Quick Stream, Steady Video and Perfect Picture HD are dedicated to offer as much convenience for the end consumers, utilizing the CPU and GPU aspects to enable smooth video streaming, video post processing and naturally, enhance the color features. While this is something we?ve seen already on different mobile apps (either as an app or built-in feature) the performance offered by the APU is such that the end result should be much better than what puny ARM cores can deliver.
The Bottom Line
On paper, Richland looks like a properly refined Virgo platform, and given the aggressive pricing strategy there?s no doubt that the company will enjoy a significant amount of design wins. Naturally, the availability is always the real challenge when it comes to the launch of AMD products but the company executives are quick to state that the new delivery dates to their partners are more aggressive than ever.
Only time will tell but for now, AMD seems to be making good progress.

Submission + - Origin of Neil Armstrong's 'One Small Step' Line Revealed (telegraph.co.uk)
SchrodingerZ writes: "In an upcoming BBC Documentary, Dean Armstrong, the brother of astronaut Neil Armstrong, reveals when the world famous 'one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind' line originated. For years, people have argued over when Armstrong came up with the line, whether it was on the spot or planned years ahead. Also debated is whether Armstrong meant to include 'a' before man, making the indefinite article 'man', which alludes to mankind, into a singular, 'a man', himself. According to Dean Armstrong, the quote was shared to him over a board game, months before the mission began. He says, 'We started playing Risk and then he [Neil] slipped me a piece of paper and said 'read that'. I did. On that piece of paper there was 'That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind'. He says 'what do you think about that?' I said 'fabulous'. He said 'I thought you might like that, but I wanted you to read it'. He then added: 'It was 'that is one small step for A man''. Armstrong had always insisted that he had said 'a', that that it was lost in communication static. This new story however conflicts with what Neil told James Hansen for his biography, stating he came up with the quote on the lunar surface. More on the historic moon landing and the life of Neil Armstrong in the new documentary Neil Armstrong- First Man on the Moon, on BBC."

Advisory committees within the jurisdiction of the Town of Fort Myers Beach will officially face changes that will "loosen" requirements and "clean up loose ends" in a Town document.
During a public hearing Monday evening, the Beach Council unanimously approved to adopt an ordinance to make amendments and allow more uniformity in policies and procedures that govern the Town committees. The changed criteria involve term of office, term limits, minimum number of meetings, quorum requirements and qualification of members.
Before the hearing, Town Attorney Marilyn Miller was directed to review any ordinances that regulate advisory committees, then suggest amendments for consistency reasons.
"I had done a spread sheet showing what the differences were in membership meetings requirements for various Town committees," she said. "It was Town Council's direction that I try to make all the criteria the same. (The amended ordinance) also cleaned up some items, because we no longer have a Traffic Mitigation Agency or a Times Square Advisory Council. It repeals that."
The ordinance to amend code relating to advisory committees was introduced at the March 4 Council meeting and a public hearing was set for Monday.
The discussion to "open up" Town advisory committees began back in early December 2012, when Beach Councilman Dan Andre asked about criteria during a meeting.
Andre made suggestions regarding participation on the volunteer boards, particularly the Marine Resources Task Force, which had to disband due to insufficient participation. His request was to expand the area to the full 33931 zone rather than just residents of Beach proper. That would allow more volunteers to become active in committees.
The suggestions were discussed further as a Council workshop agenda item in early January.
Ted Schindler, a resident of Siesta Isles just a mile off Beach, has tried to volunteer on either MRTF or the Anchorage Advisory Committee for years, but did not meet qualification requirements due to the location of his residence. He voiced his opinion during public comment before the issue went to a vote.
"I would hope that you recognize that there is some new blood out there that wants to volunteer. I think to limit it to the island is the wrong thing," he said.
Schindler, a Beach fire commissioner, has enjoyed the waterways around Fort Myers Beach and wants to have input on cleaning up the Back Bay and surrounding water.
"I think you will have a plethora of volunteers if you do pass this," he said.
Council appoints MRTF volunteers
Two members of the Beach area community were appointed to the Marine Resources Task Force.
Council approved the appointments of Peter Pin and Cristina Denegre to fill the final two slots on MRTF, a Town advisory board that promotes stewardship of the area's marine resources. The committee was disbanded until the appointments became approved.

Front end shudder - warped rotors?
Posted 09 February 2011 - 09:53 AM
Posted 09 February 2011 - 10:02 AM
Posted 09 February 2011 - 11:33 AM
Of all the cars I have owned none has had more front end shudder upon braking than my 2000 OBW. Turn or replace the front rotors and all is well but only for a few months before the problem returns. Thoughts?
Same problem with my wife's 2000 Odyssey. I hate to have her spill her beer on the way home from soccer practice (I keed, I keed!)
Posted 09 February 2011 - 11:36 AM
Getting the rotors resurfaced should solve that problem, and high quality pads should help.
You might want to considered ceramic pads to help keep it from happening.
Posted 10 February 2011 - 01:28 AM
Posted 10 February 2011 - 06:36 AM
newer generation subaru's warp rotors like crazy though. my 2002 OBW is vibrating like mad now once they get heated up.
warping older generation subaru rotors almost never happens for me and i've been driving those since 1993. the newer stuff just warps more for some reason...heavier cars?
Posted 10 February 2011 - 07:08 AM
No doubt, mildy overheated pads are the source of this problem. Sure, it may be due to the discs being under-dimensioned, but you can alleviate the problem with good pads.
What's a "good pad"...topic for a whole new discussion
I would suggest looking in the ceramic materials mentioned above.....part number/ brand names anyone?

The phenomenon is spreading further. Has anyone looked at today's Sunday Sweets post at Cake Wrecks? Some of those things are ghastly.
I guess part of the issue is what is considered part of Halloween. Aeris posted that Halloween is supposed to have corpses and tombstones and zombies. But the Halloween I'm familiar with is more black cats and witches and fog and pumpkins than zombies and severed body parts. More scary than creepy or realistic. Spooky, not gory. So tombstones, because graveyards are spooky. But not bleeding severed limbs or zombies or corpses. And for the record, I live across the street from a very old cemetery, so I'm not easily bothered by some things that would bother other people --I have a friend who won't visit my house after dark because of the graveyard across the street. What it comes down to for me is that I don't mind things that *suggest* the creepy and scary, like the fake tombstones and a huge kettle billowing steamy fog. I do mind the very realistic severed limbs and zombies. Suggest the horror, don't shove it down my throat. And don't put it out in places where I can't avoid it.
Quote from: Thipu1 on October 20, 2013, 09:43:31 AMThe phenomenon is spreading further. Has anyone looked at today's Sunday Sweets post at Cake Wrecks? Some of those things are ghastly. Really? I don't think any of those are particularly bad. The eyeballs on the second cake were *slightly* more detailed than I would have loved, but I certainly don't think any of them crossed any sort of line of appropriateness.It's Halloween - it's supposed to have corpses, tombstones, zombies, etc. If it looks so real it could legitimately be mistaken for real, or it features a super high level of 'viscera', then I think it could cross that line. But that stuff seems like a very well done version of your standard holiday fare.
If your neighbors are calling the 911 because they think your car fell on you while you were working on it you have gone to far. (Happened this year gory pictures) If you are chasing toddlers, elementary kids, and their parents off the street with a running chain saw, you have gone to far. (Happened to Sis, Loren, and Brett several years ago. Add in the fact the jerk was 9 sheets to the wind and still had the chain on the saw he was lucky he just got arrested and didn't earn the darwin award)If you are rigging real live people so they look like they were hung and can come to life you are an idiot, are chancing killing someone, and have gone to far. (If someone is a stunt person, worked stunts in film and/or theatre I'll grant an exception if they follow every single safety rule.)

6. Credit Card Data Distributed To Money Mules
Investigators said the cybercriminal organization distributed 12 account numbers from the compromised Muscat bank accounts to money mules in 24 countries in February. The accounts were configured with increased balances to people across the globe including Brooklyn and other U.S. locations. The heist took place in late February, and the cybercriminals, who were able to log at least 36,000 transactions within 10 hours, netted $40 million from ATMs.

Retired Contra Costa Sheriff Warren Rupf, the county's own larger-than-life lawman, died earlier today after a two-month battle with a swift and deadly form of cancer.
Rupf told folks about his diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia in early July and predicted then his time could be short. Few might have imagined just how quickly the cancer would strike.
Warren's wife, Carole, was at his side when he passed away at a Walnut Creek hospital.
Friends and family are working on the details of his memorial service and I'll post information as soon as it is available.
Rest in peace, sheriff. We'll miss you.

PALMER - The Kenai River Brown Bears have been the comeback kings of the North American Hockey League West Division. But on Friday, it was time for the Alaska Avalanche to rally.
Alaska scored four unanswered goals and erased a pair of three-goal deficits to grab a thrilling 5-4 come-from-behind victory over the Brown Bears at the MTA Events Center in Palmer.
"Character and heart. Absolutely character and heart," Alaska assistant coach Josh Petrich said of the key to the Avs' comeback.
Forwards Evan Hesse, Cobi Smith-Mass and Jordan Watt each scored before the three-minute mark of the third period to help first-place Alaska improve to 19-9-1 overall and move five points head of second-place Fairbanks in the standings. Kenai River dropped to 16-8-1 and now sits six points behind the Avs. The rivals meet again Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at the MTA Events Center in Palmer.
Kenai River built a 3-0 lead in the first period, led 4-1 early in the second and took a 4-2 lead into the third. Alaska came into the game with a 1-8-0 record when trailing after two periods. The Brown Bears on the ones used to rallying, with a 4-4-0 record when trailing after the second period. But the roles were reversed Friday.
Alaska scored the three third-period goals and outshot Kenai 15-6 during the final frame. But the key work came on special teams. Kenai River was 3 for 6 with the man advantage during the first two periods. But Alaska killed all five Brown Bear power plays during the third.
"We were willing to block shots," Petrich said. "So much of the penalty kill, especially up top, is willing to take it in the shin, willing to take it in the chest. We were willing."
Petrich said the types of shots the Avs took during the final two periods led to much better opportunities.
"Basically in the first period we didn't take one shot inside the house," Petrich said.
But during the second, and especially in the third, Alaska attacked the Kenai crease.
Alaska got on the scoreboard early in the second when defenseman Kristaps Bazevics put a shot from the point into the back of the net. After Kenai River took a 4-1 lead with its third power-play goal of the game, Brandon Brossoit crashed the net and cut the Bears' advantage in half.
Brossoit fell to the ice as he crashed, but managed to get enough of his stick on the puck to knock one in.
Hesse needed only 28 seconds to snap a wrister into the net early in the third. Less than a minute later, Mitch Kontney won a face off and fed Smith-Mass, who scored short-side from the left corner of the crease.
Alaska scored the game-winner at the 2:43 mark of the third. Gage Christianson skated the puck around the back of the net, from left to right, and centered a pass to Watt, who scored to give the Avs the 5-4 lead.
Kenai River used stellar special teams to stake the early lead.
"All four of their goals came on special teams. We've got to fix that," Petrich said.
Zac Lazzaro scored short-handed to give the Bears the early lead. Defenseman Ray Stenehjem knocked a shot off the post and into the net on the power play to give the Bears the 2-0 lead nine minutes into regulation.
Miikael Arkimo flipped a shot into the net from between the circles on another power-play chance later in the first.
"They definitely took advantage of every chance they got (in the first)," Petrich said.
Both teams chased opposing goalies from the game.
Alaska starter Bodhi Engum lasted only 17 minutes. He was replaced by Nick Kulmanovsky after allowing three goals. Kenai River starter Austin Severson was replaced after Alaska's three-goal surge early in the third. Paul Borbeau played much of the third period until he was issued a game misconduct for spearing with 44 seconds left in regulation.
Severson came back in to play the final 44 seconds of the game.

Just How Did The Big Dog's Baseball Picks End Up?
With the regular season for baseball now over and the playoffs underway, I thought it would be a good time to review the picks I made back in March when the 2014 Major League Baseball season opened. Here is what I wrote back on March 28.

Shattered Wrist, my wrist still makes wierd popping noises sometimes
Hmmm... When I got a sidewalk burn. My dog got lose and I dove for him, ended up catching him but not without scraping a 1cm+ of skin off of my ankle. Took a week for me to walk properly, then it got infected and I was on meds for awhile :/ pretty big cut. Worse thing about it was I couldn't sleep on my usual left side >.< gah.
Eddie Redmayne <3 aka Marius in Les Mis
One time I hit my pinky toe on the door frame. It really hurt and I had to hold it for like, 10 whole seconds before it would cool down.
Ey yo girl! How you livin'?
Well right now... Pulled Achilles Tendon YES!!
Walkin hurts! haha I still manage to workout tho...
Water aerobics for my legs... Still hittin the weights hard for upper body!!
lol Sigh...
Tired of all the fucking lies...
my worst injury would be a quad accident hit a chain link fence going 100mph broke both legs 3 ribbs my collar bone cracked the top of my skull and broke my left jaw connector
When I was little I had a really weak body in both ways.
When I was little I tried to pick up a rock that was as big as I was, dropped right on my left ring finger split it in half crushed the bone.
Went to the hospital.
I'm told I fell into a coma for a few days, but I don't even recall. I remember waking up in a bed in a secluded room and everyone was wearing a mask.
On top of this I contracted a nasty virus (Which I can't even remember the name for) which indeed was life threatening. Since the doctor knew I had a weak body he said it'd be a miracle if I came out of it okay. Honestly I'm surprised I did make it. All though I have scars on my body from what ever the hell that virus was.
Fun things are fun.
Well i don't think this counts but a got punched in the chest and then i had a asma attack :O
Never Forget, I miss you all and love you all so much. Thank you
Fell over on a bouncy castle and broke the lower part of my right arm. I was 4 and it was my friends birthday party.
Beep boop, I am a robot.
Got beat up by a large group of minorities for shouting racial slurs at them.
Never felt better. Best time of my life, that was.
My recent injury from work ( I pulled a nerve on my back close to the spine >_< )
I've been off for work for 2+ months already due to the injury so now I'm giving it my all to recover as fast as I could
Yoshimi <3 <3 <3
When i was 5 i couldent realy get out of a car like "normal" people. I always fell out some how, just tipping out instead och climbing. And one day i somehow managed to snap my collarbone.
Maybe not the worst, but kinda funny
say hello !
This happened when I was in 4th grade:
It was 10 at night and I was spying on these high schoolers outside my apartment. When they turned towards me I ducked and hit the window ledge right above my left eye
I had a scar but its gone now lololol
A couple of years ago, I was hiking in Canada and a polar bear bit my body off.
What just flew out of my butthole?!
Skull fracture
broken bones.
LexusKing & BimmerQueen
In perspective, my injuries really aren't that bad.
I have fractured my wrists three different times.
- When I was 2, it was because I put my hand under a mattress to retrieve a toy and my father rolled over it in his sleep. I screamed in his ear and that woke him up pretty quick.
- When I was 6, I broke the opposite wrist from falling off a rock pile my dad told me to stay off of. Obviously the lesson is that I didn't listen and ended up with a shattered wrist. I couldn't write for 6 or so weeks and had to learn to write right-handed.
- When I was 14 or so, I ran into a Coke machine (yes, you read that right) because I was running full speed to a class I was late for. I'm sure it was humorous to other people, but I didn't think it was so funny.
But yeah, nothing too serious.
Knitting up a storm!
