Hmm ... watched ep 2, and enjoyed it.
The only problem for me with the whole thing is that astronauts are not really interesting in general, but that aside the human interactions are very good.
Continuing to follow the series - not jumping up and down over it, but it is "serious" and solid material.

A boy trapped in a man's body. I think that's a pretty apt description for Muta.
At the same time he's already full of regret and he isn't even halfway past 30. It's understandable to have such a lofty dream only to have reality push you down when it feels convenient, and far more easy to give up and just go with the flow. Chasing a dream is harder than most people think, and these two episodes make that fact apparently somewhat brutal with Muta's brooding soliloquies.
But life tossed him a bone to catch up and, maybe one day, gain one step ahead of his brother. In the first episode I think it was very fitting they didn't show his face when his acceptance letter arrived. Indeed, I don't think any sort of animation can accurately picture the face of a person given a second chance at making their dreams come true.
For episode 2, well, looks like we have our main cast more or less. I also have that habit of fiddling with my chair, or most anything for that matter, since I can't help it if I feel something's wrong.
Definitely a strong and very down to earth introductory episodes. Can't wait for episode 3.

I really appreciate the atmopshere of this anime. In a way it is serious and funny at the same time. Realistic too and it is a refreshing change. Is it just me, or does it also have an old school feeling about it?
I remember I wanted to become an astronaut when I was 8 years old and my mother cooled my ambitions by telling me, that women cant be astronauts. I wonder why she even bothered to burst my phantasy bubble..... most kids have crazy career ideas when they are kids and then they grow up, right? And my dream of becoming an astronaut took a sharp dip with my moms words. And maybe thats why I think it is really neat they made one of the austronauts a woman. It goes with the modern times and makes me feel good too.
I will definately continue watching this. It is a really nice anime.

It just goes to show that it doesn't matter if someone screws around with you so long as you've got your head screwed on the right way.
To be sure, though, I remember reading that those with "the right stuff" to be astronauts tend not to be mavericks. Rather, they tend to be people who remain extremely calm under pressure, a quality that comes with experience no doubt, but some naturally fare better than others. However, they also tend to be anal-retentive, with a keen eye for details. I suppose that's what the interview was designed to discover.

Those you who have never seen Philip Kaufman's excellent film The Right Stuff, based on a book by Tom Wolfe, might want to give it a look. It recounts the story of the original seven US astronauts from their early days as test pilots through the orbital missions of John Glenn and Gordon Cooper. It actually opens a decade before the Mercury program began with a depiction of Chuck Yeager's flight that first broke the sound barrier. The cast is excellent, and I had my first screen crush in quite a while watching Barbara Hershey portray Yeager's wife Glennis. The horseback riding scene with Hershey and Sam Shepard as Yeager near the start of the movie is beautifully directed and subtly erotic.
Test pilots clearly had to be "calm under pressure" since the chances were good that they would crash and burn. As I recall the odds were about one in six (!) that a test pilot would not return. Both the book and the movie spend a lot of time with the men's wives who spent their days out on the high desert cringing in fear that they would become widows.

Watched Episode 2 last night:
I like how they weave in the flashbacks to a young Mutta to the present-day Mutta striving to find his path. It does say a lot about him that he'd pick the trumpet, which is the hardest of those to initially play. Hibito picking the guitar would be something I expected, and Aunt Sharon's choice of the piano also says a lot about her too.
I really liked the "loose screw" test and how Mutta managed to partially re-screw it back in. It is looking like he, and a few other new characters might have the inside track to become astronauts.
I'm really pleased that this series is doing pretty good in the ratings(2nd episode got nearly 4% which is around what Beezlebub did and isn't far behind Hunter X Hunter's ratings).
Next episode which is later today, shows Mutta have to deal with the physical exams. Interesting to see how he fares with those.

Just watched the first episode. As an older brother that is doing his best to stay ahead of his very talented younger brother this episode felt specially painful and joyful at the same time to watch. Excellent. Excellent series. I'm completely in.

It's kind of funny how it's a role reversal here. Most of the time it's the younger brother who lives in the shadow of the elder brother, and in Eastern Asian cultures the eldest brother is placed under a lot of pressure to be the one who excels and continues on the family lineage and prestige. Here in episode 3 it's Muta who lives under the shadow of his younger brother, and everyone else has their preconceptions about him and what he will be able to do. Muta's fears are understandable since there's a lot of (unfair?) expectations placed on him, and his age and fitness relative to the younger applicants will of course make it more difficult for him.
So far I'm liking how they manage to include Muta and Hibito's shared memories of their childhood that really shows the difference between the dreams of youth and the demands of reality. I doubt Muta ever thought that the dream he wants to achieve would be this hard when he was a kid, but he clearly has the drive to succeed.

The lung capacity test in episode three is cribbed directly from The Right Stuff. The testing in that movie has some really hilarious moments, particularly the scene where the candidates have to provide sperm samples.
For those who thought this was a kids show, I point to the opening scene. I wonder how many dads watching with their kids had to try and explain just what it was Mutta was saving for later! Quite an active imagination there, too, Mutta-san.
Placing the roses in a strategic location during the doctor's examination was one thing, but placing them over Mutta's butt later on was hilarious.
I like how Serika is drawn as a rather ordinary looking, though still attractive, woman. Too often a character like this would be much more beautiful and thus less realistic. I must say, though, if one of the guys would have caught my eye it would have been Kenji, but the tie between Mutta and Serika's father, and their stare-down during the test, make her interest in him more plausible. She must be in remarkable shape to still be doing exercises in her hotel room after a full day of strenuous testing.
I notice that, according to ANN, Sawashiro Miyuki not only voices the adult Serika but also the young Mutta. I've always liked her boy roles starting with Kurenai Shinkarou. Her adult voice is quite pleasant as well.
I was happy to see them give the older-brother/younger-brother meme a rest in this episode. I understand what Meo says above about the importance of birth order in Asian cultures, but the "I must get ahead of Hibito" refrain got a bit old by the end of episode two.
I'm guessing Mutta, Kenji, and Serika will all pass; as I recall there's only room for one more? Maybe one of the twenty-somethings?

Another great episode. I really like the female character (whose name I can't remember yet). I love how they are showing her own side of the story & dreams.
I will also support a relationship between her and Mutta as long as it does not end like Planetes

I guess someone (I am assuming the manga-ka) was a fan of the movie.
Anyways hope this is okay to post here but I thought this was a cool moment of American history related to the space program. It's from an old game show called "I've Got a Secret".
Spoiler for Video Under Cut:
Really goes to show how special it was back then. Of course no one in the video would know what this would mean just yet.

Sometimes I am asked by students what the best way is to honor a Sensei who has passed away. Over the years, I have heard and seen different approaches.
One is to raise a monument to the Sensei.
Another is to promote him posthumously.
Another is to have a magnificent ceremony.
Another is to write books and articles about him.
But the way that I would recommend is to sincerely practice what he has taught. Monuments just take up space and birds will make a mess on them. Posthumous promotions are irrelevant. A ceremony is good, as long as it is a celebration of the Sensei's life and accomplishments rather than a political event. Books and articles may be good, again if they celebrate and document the Sensei's life and accomplishments.
Sometimes, students try to build up their Sensei in order to build up themselves. I have even been asked if the death of a Sensei automatically results in the promotion of all students by one level. Of course not!
When a Sensei dies, we should honor his life and memory by practicing what he taught, both in the dojo and in our daily lives. That is the greatest tribute.
Before he passed away in 1998, I had the privilege of meeting Sensei Tomu Arakawa only one time (at the Blaisedale Center during an Okinawan expo when Mr. Nakasone from Shureido was visiting). But today I get to meet him every time I meet and train with his senior students, such as Sensei Alan Lee and Sensei Kyle Nakasone. Because they carry on his teachings, I can meet Arakawa Sensei through them. They honor their Sensei each and every day by their actions. This makes me think that Arakawa Sensei was truly a great Sensei. His students are his monument!
One last thing, you certainly don't have to wait for your Sensei to die to do this. While he is living you can honor him through your sincere and dedicated practice.

Understanding Exodus Through the Cross
Open Your Bible
Genesis 15:13-15, Psalm 136:1-26, Luke 24:13-32
BY Guest Writer
Scripture Reading: Genesis 15:13-15, Psalm 136:1-26, Luke 24:13-32
Jesus said the book of Exodus was about Him.
To the religious leaders who wanted to kill Him, Jesus said, "if you believed Moses, you would believe me, because he wrote about me" (John 5:46). And when He appeared to the travelers on the road to Emmaus after He had risen, "beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures" (Luke 24:27). Passages like these tell us there is no better way to read to the book of Exodus than in light of Jesus' cross and empty tomb.
The entire story of Exodus rests on promises God made to His people. There is the promise the Lord made to Abraham four hundred years earlier—to take his descendants as His own and love them with an everlasting love (Genesis 12:1–3). Exodus says it was because of this ancient promise to Abraham that God delivered the people of Moses (Exodus 2:24). This has always been the way of the Lord. The grace He extends to you and me is not based on how He feels about us in any given moment. His faithfulness is anchored in ancient promises He made long before we were born. God doesn't change. His steadfast love endures forever (Psalm 136:1).
But there is an even greater promise at work in Exodus than the one He made to Abraham. When Adam and Eve sinned against the Lord, God swore that one would come from the woman who would crush evil's head (Genesis 3:15). The life, death, and resurrection of Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise. Every word of Scripture that follows rests on God's vow to redeem and restore His sinful, wayward people to Himself, which He accomplished through the ministry of His Son.
Exodus points to how Jesus would save us. We see Him in the Passover Lamb, in the bread from heaven, in the water that flowed when the rock was struck, and in the burning bush which spoke the name "I AM." We see Him in the liberation of a people oppressed by tyranny and enslaved to the kingdom of this world. Even more, we see Jesus as the presence of God coming down from heaven to dwell among His people (Exodus 40:34-35, John 1:14).
When we stop to ask why any of these events took place, the answer is because God made a promise. He made a promise to rescue us from slavery to sin (Romans 6:18). He made a promise to lead us through the wilderness of this life (Psalm 23). And He made a promise to bring us into our eternal promised home (2 Corinthians 5:1). All these things have been accomplished for us through the sacrifice of our perfect Passover Lamb, Jesus—the Son of God (1 Peter 1:18-19).
The Bible is a book of promises made and promises kept, and Jesus is at the center of them all (2 Corinthians 1:20).

He keeps his promises! He loves us so much!
32They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?"
I love this verse! It shows just how powerful the word of God us and how we can still experience his presence by reading it. It's like Jesus was saying to them, "I have not left you. I can always be found in the Scriptures."
God keeps his promise. He's the Savior of the world. His love endures forever.
Really and truly it's a love story, the first 3 chapters of the Bible deal with God creating man, and sin separating us from God. The last the chapters in the Bible deal with God recreating a new earth, sanctifying us and bring us to be with Him forever. The rest of the Bible is all just a story of His redemptive love. A perfect 7 ♥

EAA Airventure is months away as I am now thinking of warmer weather. If you are getting that itch though to catch a glimpse of a few planes, or should I say skiplanes, the annual EAA Skiplane Fly-In is approaching. Traditionally it has been in January, but the date has been moved to Saturday, February 8, at EAA's Pioneer Airport in Oshkosh, to increase the likelihood of sufficient snow to host flying activities.
This incredible winter event, which has welcomed more than 30 skiplanes in the past, celebrates skiplane flying as well as the anniversary of the first-ever meeting of the Experimental Aircraft Association which was on January 26, 1953.
In the unlikely event that snow and weather conditions do not permit aircraft arrivals at Pioneer Airport on February 8, other activities will continue as planned, including complimentary chili and cake served beginning at 10:30 a.m.
The Skiplane Fly-In runs from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and is free of charge to the general public. Signs will direct visitors to the skiplane area upon arrival to the museum. Shuttle services will also operate from Basler Flight Service and Orion Flight Services for those landing at Wittman Regional Airport. Regular admission rates apply for guests visiting the museum itself.

Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland performed mostly solo material to a sold-out crowd at the Stagecoach Country Music Festival on Saturday night.
Nettles performed her own songs like "Me Without You," her latest single from her January released album "That Girl."
Other songs she performed from the album included "Falling" and "Jealousy."
"I appreciate it," Nettles said to the cheering Mane Stage audience.
Before the song "Jealousy," she said it was about "a woman coming to terms with the shady part of herself."
She also performed Sugarland's song "Baby Girl" but with no help from the other members of the band.
Vaness Bada, 23, of Fontana said Nettles set went smoothly.
"I was able to dance around with my friends," Bada said.

The Dis-Enchanted Oracle
So, I came across this interview with Fantasy Artist, Jessica Galbreth on Facebook. Apparently, after years of sharing her amazing images of beautiful winged Fairies, Goddesses and Vampires, she has decided that these talents were the result of "demonic possession". Demons? Really?
If you watch the interview in it's entirety, you will learn that Jessica became interested in the occult at an early age, experimenting with the Oujia board and Tarot cards, which ultimately led to the creation of her own, Enchanted Oracle Tarot deck and apparently, her demonic possession. She even considered herself a Witch! :::Gasp:::
Gee, me too! I grew up in a family that was very open in terms of it's acceptance of the paranormal. We played with the Oujia board, held seances and read whatever books were available at the time on Witchcraft, Satanism, ghosts, hauntings and paranormal phenomenon,. And yet, we considered ourselves a Christian family. By this I mean, we were baptized, received communion and confirmation, celebrated Christmas and Easter and if we were so inspired, actually attended church on those occasions, didn't eat meat on Fridays and fasted during Lent. We believed in God and for us, that was enough.
Delving into the "dark side" was scary and fun. However, when presented with the fact that we really didn't know who we were inviting in during our Oujia Board dabbling sessions and seances....our parents pulled the plug on our connection to the other side and the Oujia board ended up collecting dust in the attic.
It didn't stop me from eventually leaving behind my Christian upbringing to follow a Wiccan path. Do I believe that this is the result of "demonic influences" left over from my "dabbling" phase? Hell no! (pun intended). It was due to the fact that I had found a religious Path that resonated with me and where I found spiritual fulfillment. I don't hate Jesus. I don't hate Christians. I simply believe that there is a spiritual path for everyone and one will ultimately know it when they find it.
Jessica says that her realization came when her daughter became frightened by her images. Well, lots of things frighten little kids. Dolls used to scare the shit out of me and I'm not entirely sure that they still don't. She also said that she felt as if a dark cloud was hanging over her. According to the CDC, that "dark cloud" might be depression, which strikes 1 in every 10 adults. I would begin there before I began blaming Satan's minions for the fact that I was not entirely thrilled with my life. Even the most successful people find themselves dissatisfied with their lives, Winston Churchill, Vincent Van Gogh, Michelangelo, Edgar Allen Poe, just to name a few. It kind of goes hand and hand with the whole depression thing. Jessica also claims she felt "prideful". Really? Well I can't imagine why? I wonder if she considered being proud of her accomplishments a sin before or after she was reborn?
The way we find and embrace spirituality in our lives is uniquely personal. No two people, even when sharing the same religious belief system, will experience Deity in the same way. At times, the religious path which we inherited from our parents is enough for us and we feel no need to look any further. Or, like myself, one finds no connection to the Path handed down to them and they seek spiritual fulfillment elsewhere. That doesn't mean that there was something wrong my previous beliefs. It simply means that Deity had chosen connect to me in a way that I would understand and embrace. A spiritual rebirth, in the purest sense of the word, shouldn't include the prompt condemnation of the Path one left behind. In that case you've only succeeded in being reborn into a more hypocritical version of yourself.
All this being said, I find it regretful, if not a bit amusing, that Jessica now considers her talent, "Satanic" and all her successes demonically inspired. And yet, she is still able to create in a very similiar style, except now, with a more angelic, Christian influence?

text: Lupus can be treated and effectively managed by acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. While acupuncture can help with almost any disorder by balancing the body as a whole, keep in mind that the field of Oriental medicine is much larger than just acupuncture. Adjusting your diet is central to the prevention and care of most diseases, and after the diet has been adjusted Chinese herbs should be incorporated to maximize the healing potential of Oriental medicine. And remember that aside from acupuncture treatment modalities like guasha, cupping, and moxibustion can also help to restore balance to the body. To maximize your healing potential all aspects, including lifestyle, should be examined and adjusted according to the principles of Oriental medicine. Be sure to check the bottom of this article to see if we can recommend any practitioners in the Honolulu area that regularly treat Lupus.Additional Keywords: , ,

If all goes as planned, producers will have a new corn rootworm trait available for the control of Western corn rootworm, Northern corn rootworm and Mexican corn rootworm.
Syngenta Seeds has submitted to the USDA a petition for the deregulation of Event 5307, which has demonstrated resistance to corn rootworm in Syngenta trials. This protein binds differently in the gut of target insects than the protein in Syngenta's Agrisure RW corn rootworm trait. Once approved, Event 5307 will provide Syngenta with the opportunity to create proprietary trait stacks with multiple modes of action against corn rootworms.
Syngenta will stack Event 5307 with its Agrisure Viptera trait, its Agrisure RW trait and traits with multiple modes of action against European corn borer, to create a reduced refuge stack, the Agrisure Viptera 3222 E-Z refuge stack, the company's refuge-in-a-bag product.
This trait stack is anticipated to be available in 2014 following receipt of all U.S. regulatory and key import market approvals. It will feature multiple modes of action on all major above- and below-ground corn insects and a 5% refuge in the Corn Belt. Syngenta plans to make additional regulatory submissions to the Environmental Protection Agency and Food and Drug Administration, as well as key export countries to gain the necessary regulatory approvals.

Maintaining a style guide for your brand can give it a distinctive look, clear up uncertainty, and provide you with quick access to information when you need it most.
Your brand is unique and intricate, and it needs to be treated as such. Having an instruction manual right at your fingertips can help you make sure that your brand has a cohesive style and a distinctive look—and even help you keep sane when deadlines begin mounting up.
When you need to look something up quickly, you'll find that a style guide is more useful than white-out. Hey, having one around might even reduce your need for the stuff.
Style guides come in all varieties. The simplest among them list color, font and logo information; the more encompassing ones include information about clinical trials, word preference and the inevitable exceptions to the rules.
So, what exactly can you gain from a style guide?
There are hundreds, thousands, millions of brands in the world today. The ones you remember are those you see over and over—and in the same way. Having a brand style guide that allows you to outline fonts, colors, and rules saves you from compromised or distorted execution.
And if you happen to be collaborating with other agencies for your biotech or device brand, you may discover that having a style guide as a reference can help you maintain a consistent approach in the work. Refer to your brand guidelines with every new project.
You have a style guide because you have a brand identity to uphold. Of course, as the keeper of a brand, you know how things are supposed to look and read. A style guide is invaluable when it comes to working with outside vendors and freelancers.
Make sure you remember to give them the current guidelines. You'll save them from asking a lot of questions—and save yourself from having to answer them.
When you are getting ready for MLR meetings, your style guide can be a great help. You can reference trademarks, logos, generics, and clinical information (depending on the depth of the guide) quickly and from one source.
Taking the time to document these essential pieces of information can save you hours and reduce your stress before taking your materials in for review. Get everyone on the same page initially—your boss, your MLR team, your production team—to make the whole process run smoothly.
Are you noticing office disputes about the PMS color of a particular turquoise, or the use of the serial comma? Put an end to the disagreements. Your brand style guide will be a quick go-to for answering these questions.
The best part about a brand style guide? It's always accurate. That is, of course, if you're keeping it up-to-date. Create an electronic style guide and make it a priority to update it as needed. Establish a schedule of monthly, quarterly, or yearly updates to maximize accuracy.
Adhering to a style guide won't make you the kind of person who is preoccupied with rules. Instead, it will free you up to concentrate on the exciting creative work that your agency is putting in front of you—a place where you want your focus to be.

Coconut and carrot soup with lime and basil
I know, I know. It's summer and you're probably wondering why would anyone write about soothing vegetable soups, no?
Well, here's a flavoursome and vegan and gluten-free soup that'd be perfect for those slightly cooler summer nights that we are (at least here in Estonia) bound to encounter every now and then. It's mostly store-cupboard ingredients, so a lovely stand-by recipe. Somehow the coconut and carrots and basil and lime together are very refreshing, and surprisingly suitable for summer months. We thought it worked also well as a cold soup, but that's up to you.
The recipe is adapted from Lina's Matkasse, a popular Swedish grocery-and-recipe delivery service.
Coconut and carrot soup with lime and basil
(Kookose-porgandisupp laimi ja basiilikuga)
Serves 4 to 6
350 g carrots
1 medium onion
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
220 g red lentils (about 1 cup), rinsed and drained
1 litre vegetable stock
thumb-sized piece of fresh ginger, finely grated
400 ml coconut milk
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1.5 tsp cumin seeds, ground
1.5 tsp coriander seeds, ground
0.5 tsp salt
1 lime, juiced
a pinch of chilli flakes (I used Aleppo chili)
a handful of fresh basil leaves
Peel or scrub the carrots and cut into 1 cm slices. Peel and chop the onion.
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry for a few minutes. Add the carrots and lentils and a sprinkle of salt, sauté for another few minutes.
Now add the vegetable stock, grated ginger, crushed garlic, cumin and coriander seeds as well as the coconut milk. Bring into a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, until the lentils and carrots are soft.
Process the soup until smooth (I prefer a jug blender, but an immersion blender would work as well). Season to taste with salt, lime juice and chilli flakes.
Garnish with basil leaves and serve.
EDIT November 29, 2012: Lydia Walshin featured this recipe on her SoupChick blog. Thank you, Lydia!

FRANKLIN, Ind. — UCLA coach Steve Alford fit right in Wednesday at Franklin College.
Instead of walking into the annual summer basketball camp wearing his traditional red attire, Alford dressed in a blue-and-gold T-shirt that was just a few shades short of matching Franklin's school colors. Heck, even the school nicknames, Bruins and Grizzlies, both represent bears.
And, of course, he enjoys being around a community where he is still so revered that the Division III school sold out every spot for this week's event.
"It's always fun. This is the fifth different coaching job I've had and at every spot I've had at least one Indiana guy," Alford said during a mid-afternoon break. "I still recruit this area."
For Alford, it's a rare break from the day-to-day responsibilities of monitoring his new players' progress, tracking recruits, meeting with a new staff and getting players acclimated to doing things his way.
Here, he's working with roughly 200 boys and girls in grades one through six, most of whom know his name but have only learned his resume through their parents: 1984 Olympic gold medalist as a teammate of Michael Jordan, leader of Indiana's last national championship team (1987), second-round NBA draft pick and now the head coach of one of America's most prestigious basketball programs.
"Are you going to be on TV?" one young child wearing a Bruins baseball cap asked after seeing Alford finish an interview.
If all goes well in Los Angeles, he'll be a regular on the airwaves.
Usually, his annual homecoming is a family affair. This time, though, his wife and children stayed in Los Angeles as they adjust to big city life while Alford came back to this small town, located about 25 miles from downtown Indianapolis and not far from the corn fields that dominate the landscape south of Indy.
Why here? It's home.
His father, Sam, played basketball at Franklin and was an assistant coach at Franklin High School. The campus is located just a few miles from the hospital where Alford was born and only a couple dozen miles from the hometown of another Indiana basketball star with UCLA connections, John Wooden. When camp ends, at 4 p.m. each day, Alford can make the short drive to his parents' lake house, and over the last 27 years, he's worked this camp at different times with his father and two sons, Kory and Bryce.
This time is different. During a lunch break Wednesday, Alford attended a dedication ceremony for Johnson Memorial Hospital's new reflection garden. It honored Alford, perhaps the city's most famous son, with a special brick that the son says was more the result of his mother and father than anything he did. Then it was back to work in a familiar venue.
"We think about it more like a family thing than that," Franklin athletic director and basketball coach Kerry Prather said when asked about Alford's new job. "But it's pretty incredible to think he's found his way to Pauley Pavilion and through some of the Martinsville connections as John Wooden."
UCLA is never far from Alford's thoughts.
He got off to a rough start, being criticized for the way he left New Mexico so soon after accepting a new contract with the Lobos and he issued a public apology after getting a surprise grilling for the way he reacted to sexual assault allegations against one of his former players, Pierre Pierce, when he was coaching at Iowa.
Alford is no longer talking about those problems, opting instead to focus on adding another national championship banner to the 11 that already hang above the Bruins' home court.
Alford said forward-center Tony Parker has lost 18 pounds and guard Norman Powell has made big strides in the offseason. He's added size and more shooters to the roster during the offseason, and he's looking forward to coaching both of his sons next season, too, after playing and coaching with his father for so many years.
The biggest obstacle may be bringing fans inside.
"We sell a lot of season tickets, but there is so much to do in Los Angeles from the winter sporting events like the Clippers and Lakers and Kings and then you've got the beach," said Alford, who has worked and played primarily in smaller cities.
His job is to rebuild the image of UCLA basketball, which is still looking for a long-term successor to Wooden. Alford is not billing himself as that.
"I don't think you do that," he said. "There are certain people in our business that you don't replace — Bob Knight, Dean Smith, Mike Krzyzyewski and you don't replace John Wooden, either. I think it's about understanding the excellence he created here. You walk into the library, you walk into a school building and you see (Wooden's) pyramid of success. He's meant so much more to the school outside of basketball, and I don't think there will ever be another coach with 10 national titles. You try to be yourself and understand the excellence."
Blue-and-gold? It's something Alford is getting used to.
"I thought about that the other day. You know I grew up being red and I've been all different colors through my coaching career. I never thought I'd be in black and gold and then I went to Iowa," he said. "But blue-and-gold is new and I like it."

OSWEGO, NY – Jason Simmons has been racing around Oswego Speedway for seven years and Saturday night he finally took his D&S Landscaping No. 98 machine to Turning Stone Resort Casino Victory Lane at the 'Steel Palace' as a part of the Helena Chemical Company Memorial Day Weekend 'Triple-Header.'
Simmons and early race leader Mike Bruce swapped the lead on a couple different occasions with Simmons eventually locking down the race lead at lap 22 to go onto the Tony White Memorial win over Bruce, Dalton Doyle, Russ Brown, JJ Andrews, Mike Bond, Jon Tesoriero, Tim Gareau, Kreig Heroth, and Jack Patrick.
"It feels great, finally," said Simmons. "Seven years it has taken, and it's too long. My guys have been busting their butts for years with me; Brian Dana, Mikey O'Connor. You know, these guys have never left my side, they believed in me, and we finally put it together."
Simmons went on to explain how the night unfolded including his tremendous battle with Mike Bruce for the race win in lapped traffic.
"We were fast in the first warm-up, but we struggled in the second warm-up and in the heat," said Simmons. "The guys hit it on the money in the feature. I didn't want to tear my car up in lapped traffic; I was trying to be cautious. I saw him (Bruce) out there and I was racing him hard, but I knew I was faster. I was a little discouraged when he got by, but I knew we would get back by him, and we did it and that's all that mattered."
Bruce and Doyle would start up on row number one for the 35-lap Tony White Memorial, with Bruce getting the early nod in the No. 22. Doyle would quickly tuck into line with the No. 22 as the front duo charged away from the pack early consisting of Andrews, Simmons, and Gareau in tow, until the race's first caution waved at lap 4.
Andrew Schartner, driving the Crow Motorsports No. 18, tagged the outside while in corner number four with great force ending his night to turn on the yellow lights.
After the restart Doyle, whose season has been off to a rough start, managed to wrestle away the top spot from Bruce on lap 6 and at the same time Simmons began to mount his charge from sixth on the grid, driving by his teammate Andrews to third position on lap 7.
Simmons would not stop there as on lap 9 he would then drive by Bruce to move to the runner-up spot.
While Simmons was charging his way to the lead, a battle was being waged further back between championship contenders Bond and Brown. The pair started tenth and eleventh respectively, several times swapping positions from each other, but working together to slice their way through the field.
As the lap counter hit eleven, Simmons found the lane he needed as he drove on by Doyle to the low side to take the race lead. Doyle would stay high on the race track allowing Bruce to follow through into the second position with Doyle now third ahead of Andrews, Gareau, Brown, Tesoriero, and Bond.
By the 18th circuit Simmons and Bruce had pulled their way out from the rest of the pack with heavy lapped traffic beginning to loom.
At lap 19 Simmons tried to maneuver the lapped car of Anthony Losurdo and in doing so pinned himself to the low end of the race track, giving Bruce a wide open lane on the top side to retake the race lead. The two drivers would barely touch wheels in a great battle for the lead, but it was to be short lived.
Once cleared from traffic, Simmons quickly drew a bead back on the back bumper of the Bruce No. 22, diving to the inside on lap 22 to take the lead for the second time. The move made for the fourth lead change of the race between three different drivers in just 22-laps.
Simmons would then prove to be in a class of his own driving out to over a half straight lead on the pack behind with Bruce, Doyle, Andrews, Gareau, Brown, Tesoriero, Bond, Heroth, and Patrick all locked together.
As the race drew to a close, Simmons would have to hang on through a couple late race cautions including one for May 11 winner Mark Castiglia, who blew a tire and made hard contact with the main straight wall on lap 33.
After seven years of trying, nothing was going to hold back Simmons on this night, as he again drove away from the field with two laps to go to rack up his first career Pathfinder Bank SBS win at Oswego Speedway over Bruce and Doyle.
Bruce, who had a great run going in the Teddneck No. 22 two weeks ago before pulling pit side, was more than pleased with a runner-up effort on Saturday.
"That was a riot, I hope we put on a good race for the fans," said Bruce. "The class is made for beating and banging and putting on a good race. Nobody wrecked and it was a heck of a race, it was great to run with Jason (Simmons). He had a great car and he has worked his butt off to be in victory lane finally, so congratulations to Jason Simmons."
After a start to his season that Doyle would rather forget, a third place finish on Saturday likely felt like a win.
"This feels a lot better," said Doyle. "We've had a terrible start to the season, but after tonight the car felt a lot better. It still needs some work, but we started up front and stayed up front, so I am happy with that."
Doyle was again locked with JJ Andrews for much of the event, including the race's final lap as they battled for a podium position.
"We actually got together a bit on the back stretch there, when he (Andrews) came up on the outside of me," said Doyle. "I don't know, we we're going for it and made contact, but it is all clean as far as I know, so."
The evening's Nice Price Auto Sales 'Up & Comer' award recipient and the winner of the Sherwood Racing Wheels 'Lap Leader' award was Jason Simmons.
The D&S Landscaping 'Hard Chager' award went to Jeremy Pitcher, in the TNT Motorsports No. 14, for the second week in a row.
The White's Car Care '4th place' award, given in honor of Tony White each week at the Speedway, was won by Russ Brown.
Shell Shock Custom Helmet Paint heat race wins were awarded to Kreig Heroth, Mike Bond, and Tim Gareau.
Bond will be credited as the first driver to un-officially clock a lap of under 19-seconds in an SBS machine with a lap of 18.939 seconds on the way to his heat race win. No driver in the history of the division has ever scored a lap under 19-seconds on the AMB transponder scoring system at Oswego Speedway.
Oswego Speedway will next be in action on Saturday, June 1 as the "Road to the Championship" continues with Best Western PLUS/Quality Inn and Suites Night at the Races featuring a 50-lap Novelis Supermodified main event and a 30-lap Pathfinder Bank SBS feature.
Grandstand gates will open at 4pm on June 1 with racing beginning at 6:30pm.

Yesterday was one of those days. Grey, rainy, and cold — I didn't want to leave the house, let alone venture out to a coffee shop where I'd have a fighting chance of getting some work done. So yesterday was devoted to internet television and baby knits. It did kinda feel like giving up, though.
I finished up the body and cast on for the sleeve. As you might have noticed, I knit this in the round instead of "on two needles" as suggested by the pattern. It just seemed like simpler way to go, especially since I wanted to avoid all that seaming up and matching stripes. So far, the yarn has been cooperative, stipes have marched along in their appointed order … with only one more sleeve to go, I'm hoping the luck holds.
[ETA: oops! I never did mention what pattern I'm knitting (it was obvious enough to me after all): EZ's superlative February baby sweater. Since the stripes were providing quite enough interest, I went with plain stockinette over the gull pattern. Modified to knit in the round — instead of flat, which is more interesting from a construction point of view, but also requires more finishing — with only 6 buttons (chubby tummies should be available for tickling at all times), it really flies off the needles.]
In other news, I've got a wedding shawl to plan.
Right now, Rock Island is the frontrunner. At first, I was ready to make the plunge and almost bought some lovely madelinetosh to try out, but then … the cat fountain broke and Alice has been a Somewhat Unhappy Kitty, so … that's where the yarn budget is going this month. Luckily, the stash is expansive and varied.
This purple laceweight looks like it might just get the job done. Cat foundtain included.
And now, back to work. The sun is out and it's time to get busy.

Sometimes you want to change icons, there not consisted in color or you don't like them.
Where is this done ?
Let say you like the theme "cool and clean" but you noticed some inconsistend colors.
In Windows this is the path:
- Code: Select all
In the other platforms something very similar but without the c:\ of course.
Most of the times a reload of the page is sufficient.
However image you still find it odd that the Icon above the word Discover is yellow and you want it in black and white as the rest.
You will not find the icon in the path above.
First the icon name isn't discover.png but cover.png one can learn this by right clicking on the icon and save it.
Second this cover.png icon takes it color from the default theme because it's not declared here
- Code: Select all
So copy the yellow cover.png make it in black and white
I use Gimp select picture ==> color ==> Desaturate ==> average
Put the line below in the the coolandclean.properties file above
- Code: Select all
coverImage = icons/coolandclean/cover.png
One need to restart madsonic and probably clean the cache from the browser.
Here you'll find grey icons for Madsonic (Cool & Clean ) theme : https://drive.google.com/folderview?id= ... sp=sharing
Kind regards

OAKLAND — It's tough enough to win playoff games in the NBA, more so for a team that has the proverbial dark cloud hanging over it.
The Clippers on Sunday entered Game 4 of their Western Conference series at Golden State with a lot on their minds, no thanks to racist comments toward African-Americans allegedly made by team owner Donald Sterling made public less than 48 hours earlier.
Right away it seemed the Clippers were not as focused as they were the previous two games — both wins — because the Warriors and Stephen Curry bolted to a quick lead that twice grew to as many as 23 points late in the second quarter.
Although the Clippers scratched and clawed their way back into the game by pulling within nine points with eight minutes left, that was all they had as the Warriors defeated them 118-97 before an extremely noisy crowd of 19,596 at Oracle Arena.
Two Warriors fans in a suite held up signs. One read, "I brought a black guy 2 the game." The African-American fellow next to him had one that read, "I'm black."
Game 5, with the best-of-7 series tied at 2-2, is Tuesday at Staples Center.
The Clippers wore black bands on either their wrists or arms, and black socks. They wore their warmup jerseys inside out, all apparently in protest of Sterling, who was not in attendance. His estranged wife, Shelly, was. She sat courtside wearing black.
"We talked about it as a team," Paul said of the black socks and bands. "At the end of the day, it had nothing to do with the game."
A reporter asked Blake Griffin how tough it was to go out and play the game.
"It was like any other game, it really was," he said. "That's not sugar-coating anything. Like I said yesterday, there are distractions all the time. All the time there are distractions. And you just come and play basketball.
"I just thought we didn't do what we were supposed to do. We didn't stick to the things that had been successful in Games 2 and 3."
Curry, who made an NBA-high 261 3-pointers during the regular season, had struggled with his shot in the first three games. He broke loose for 33 points — 17 in the pivotal first quarter, after which the Warriors held a 39-24 lead. Curry made five 3-pointers in the quarter, 7 of 14 overall.
"We tried to come out with a sense of urgency," said Curry, who was complemented well by 21 points and nine rebounds from Andre Iguodala and 15 points apiece from David Lee, Harrison Barnes and Klay Thompson, who fouled out midway through the fourth quarter.
Paul blamed himself for Curry's quick start.
"It's all on me, it's all on me," he said. "I let him get loose early."
Jamal Crawford led the Clippers with 26 points off the bench. Griffin scored 21 points with six rebounds, Paul had 16 points and six assists and J.J. Redick had 12 points. But DeAndre Jordan, who got into foul trouble in the first half, played 25 minutes and had zero points and just six rebounds and two blocks. In a Game 3 victory, he brought down a playoff franchise record-tying 22 rebounds and blocked five shots.
The Clippers also turned the ball over 19 times and shot just 42.9 percent from the field.
The Warriors shot 55.4 percent from the field — by far their highest percentage in the series. They made 15 of 32 from beyond the arc for a terrific 46.9 percent.
Coach Doc Rivers was asked if the Warriors' blazing beginning happened because they were playing well or because the Clippers had their minds on other things.
"I think they were playing great," Rivers said. "I think you've always gotta leave it at that. Once the game starts, there are no excuses not to play, and to play like we did."
He took the heat.
"That's my fault," Rivers said. "It really is. I've gotta do a better job. Whatever the distractions, whatever … I've gotta do a better job. I didn't do my job tonight. I take that personally."
Rivers elaborated.
"I don't know, I just know it's my job as a coach to get them ready," he said. "And I just didn't feel like I did the right stuff."
Besides Jordan, Paul and Crawford played in foul trouble. Was it because of the emotions with which they entered the game?
"Listen, it could have (been)," Rivers said. "I'm not going to deny we had other stuff. Listen, I just believe when the game starts, the game starts and nobody cares anymore. Golden State surely didn't care."
Warriors coach Mark Jackson did not believe all the controversy played a part in the way the game went.
"No, no," he said. "I think certainly everybody was affected by what took place. I don't believe it was just the Clippers. I don't think there was anything said directly toward the Clippers and their players. I think it was insulting to all of us. … We got blown out in Game 2. We own that.
"At the end of the day we played extremely well today and we won the ballgame."

Omix-ADA and Rugged Ridge Recall Certain Extended Brake LinesPosted in News on February 10, 2014
Omix-ADA and Rugged Ridge have recalled certain extended brake lines due to a potential risk of leaking fluid around the end fittings and possibly rupturing during their expected installed life which could decrease available braking and increase the risk of an accident. The extended brake lines in question were those sold for Jeep CJ, Wrangler, Cherokee and Grand Cherokee owners manufactured by CarFlex Auto Co., LTD and sold under the Omix-ADA and Rugged Ridge brands between May 4, 2012 and November 22, 2013
It's important to note that this is simply a precautionary, voluntary, pro-active recall that CarFlex has issued. This product is not manufactured by Omix-ADA, it is supplied to them by an outside company, but Omix-ADA is working with CarFlex to replace, free of charge, anyone's brake lines that may have been affected. This includes paying for up to .4 hours shop labor/per brake hose replaced (at local prevailing rate) through an installer or a local qualified off-road shop.
Omix-ADA wants all their customers to know safety is their primary concern.

During his confinement, Sánchez said, he shared an 86-square-foot (8-square-meter) jail cell with 12 other prisoners. The cell, he described, had three walls with tiny windows near the ceiling, bars on the front, and a toilet with running water only once a day. "If we wanted to have water the whole day, we had to store the water in our own buckets," he said.
The irregular water service along with a lack of cleaning supplies severely affected the prisoners' health, the journalist said: "Detainees, including me, were diagnosed many times with severe, chronic diarrhea and parasites." At one point, it was so bad the state health agency had to be called in, Sánchez said.
Some of the detainees sharing Sánchez's jail cell had committed
murder and other serious crimes. Sánchez himself was in prison for "social
dangerousness," a vague charge in
The journalist explained that dangerous criminals regularly act as agents for local authorities in prison by monitoring and harassing journalists and political prisoners. He said they would make up rumors or provoke fights—he was once beaten.
Despite all the obvious difficulties of his situation, Sánchez decided to keep his profession on track while in jail. "I committed myself to reporting on prison conditions and slipping shorts stories into my family's and friends' hands during visiting hours," he said.
An original 2007 four-year conviction was later reduced to three years. But even after three years incarcerated, Sánchez remains firmly committed to his work: "I would prefer to continue reporting and writing about current affairs on the island, including human rights violations by the Cuban government," he said to Miami-based Radio Martí the day after the release.
Twenty-one journalists remain

Sudden Oak Death
A disease known as Sudden Oak Death, caused by the fungus-like organism, Phytophthora ramorum, has been potentially introduced (not known) into Indiana through exposed nursery stock. This pathogen is devastating to oaks but also affects several other plant species. This pathogen does not effect humans or animals.
Indiana has established an emergency quarantine of California nursery stock susceptible to Sudden Oak Death.
People in Indiana that have ordered plant genera known to be susceptible to Sudden Oak Death from any California nursery are prohibited from receiving that material until the California nursery has been inspected and shown to be free from the Sudden Oak Death pathogen by the USDA APHIS PPQ or California Department of Food and Agriculture using the federal inspection protocols.
If you have already received plant material from California which includes one of the regulated genera in the list provided, you must do two things:
- Remove that material and any intermingled plants from the sale.
- Have the DNR inspect the material and release it.
You must contact the DNR and let us know that you have nursery stock that needs to be inspected.
Please read the Notification of Indiana Emergency Quarantine of California Nursery Stock, and the Indiana Emergency Quarantine, for complete details.
