2012 Documentary of an Uncertain Future
This video shows us what has been happening literally around the world, over the last two years. This is directly-tied to the entire planet in every country. When you look at the world there are no "borders" no states: Only the earth, sea, sky and the people that live here.
Send this video as far and wide as you can because this is probably the last actual NOTICE that most of us will ever get; before we too become entangled in whatever is doing this, in our tiny section of the universe.
Until now, in Amerikkka, this place has steadfastly remained compartmentalized to what has been happening to us individually and locally. Our response has been to remain steadfastly embedded with our heads in the sand: Whether it has been criminal-police murdering people without cause, or government stripping Amerikkkans of every right while simultaneously taxing and stealing from the public in every way imaginable—we have remained SILENT in the face of every indignity.
What this video clearly demonstrates is that everything on this planet has been changing and is about to get much, much worse. This time there are things that can be done by the people of the planet to begin to make ourselves and our concerns felt and changed: Not in years, but virtually overnight. If and only if we begin to think and act together, can we overcome these massive and mysterious events that have just begun to be felt across the world.
We have to begin to think and act like citizens of the earth, first last and only. In the U.S. we need to come together regardless of every phony label that we have adopted. We must descend on every city hall in the nation and every media outlet, with DEMANDS, that can be dealt with at local and national levels—by the people that will be the most directly affected: We must ACT to change things!
What changes? We must rip AGENDA 21 out of every community and destroy the program along with throwing out every politician that has been trying to capture the American public in this way.
All of us know 'people' that are involved in government or private corporations that work for weather-modification programs such as: HAARP, FEMA, TSA, DHS or the Federal Government. We need to call on people individually, and demand that they each of them explain their agencies part in all of this. NO MORE SECRETS OR NATIONAL SECURITY TO HIDE BEHIND. Perhaps most of all we need to DESTROY HAARP and all its equipment wherever its anti-human facilities are configured—beginning with Alaska!
We are not helpless. Neither can we continue to remain deaf, dumb and blind to what is happening in virtually every nation on the planet. This is GLOBAL. The RESPONSE must be global and taken up by ordinary people around the world.
We don't need local-boards, BS-committees or more "studies". We need the KNOWN causes for these CRIMES-AGAINST-HUMANITY. We need to force individuals to answer for everything that they have been doing to all of us. This has to be done in concert with others over the next six days, in order to maximize our effect upon the silent-shadow-officials that are already killing us by the thousands, soon to be hundreds of thousands…
Think about it and figure out what you and your friends can actually do together to change this nightmare. What is mentioned above contains a large part of what has been causing much of the weather modification that we are all in DANGER of being hit by; at any time or in anyplace upon the earth.
Please do whatever you can to alter this situation, as quickly as possible — because the obvious forces shown throughout the video are truly awesome and are very, very far removed from most of us at the present time.
We have to DO SOMETHING THIS TIME, as never before.
In this process most people will begin to understand just how compromised we have allowed ourselves to become; financially, militarily, sociologically and just as ordinary human-beings.
Because ordinary people are everything—we are the most important part in this equation.
Watch the video and send it to everyone, while you still can.
Good Luck!

Revisiting the Tartine Basic Country Bread
For the first time in a few months, I baked some Tartine Basic Country Bread. It remains among my favorite breads for crumb texture—it hits the perfect point for me between light/pillowy and chewy.
I follow Robertson's formula, except I only make enough levain for one recipe (halving his formula), and this time I used Central Milling's Organic Type 85 flour for the levain build. I made the 1970 gram dough batch into three loaves, a 600 gram boule, a 600 gram batard and a 770 gram boule.
Due to space constraints in my oven, I baked the two smaller loaves in a first batch, and the bigger boule alone (having set it in the fridge for two and half hours at the beginning of the proof, then letting it finish proofing for three hours at room temperature). This allowed enough time to re-pre-heat the oven and iron skillet with lava rocks for the second bake. The cold-retarded boule got the best oven spring.
I note a recent comment in Eric Hanner's post on "Tartine Bread- A Dissenting Viewpoint" (http://www.thefreshloaf.com/node/20544/tartine-bread-dissenting-viewpoint#comment-223087), asking whether there is an error in Robertson's formula that explains how wet and sticky the dough is. The answer is "No!". Though this dough is hard to handle, and takes judicious use of flour on bench and hands, and lots of rice flour/AP flour mix in the brotformmen/bannetons, the high hydration is one of the keys to the wonderfulness of this bread.
To shape these loaves takes a light dusting of flour on the board, regular applications of flour to the hands, and quick movements with hands and bench knife. With practice, it can be done.
My loaves yesterday wanted to stay in their brotformmen, and the sticking deformed a couple of the loaves a bit, but the results were fine. Next time, even more flour in the brotformmen.

Today on a morning walk in search of Dunkin Donuts coffee I passed a woman who was weeping as she walked down the street. My heart went out to her and I wondered what her pain might be. Did she lose a loved one? A relationship? Did she lose her job? Perhaps she or someone she loves had received a devastating diagnosis. Or maybe she felt hopeless and alone. A mystery women in pain amongst ten million people all with their own problems. I will never know the cause of her tears. But God does.
Just minutes later I noticed a bedraggled old man wedged into the corner of an office building. He held a crudely written sign begging for money as vacant eyes scanned the throngs stepping over him. I wondered what had gotten him to this place. I have to tell you that the morning walk was a bit sobering today. Maybe that is why New Yorkers mind their own business. There is so much pain and so many hurting people in this city. You feel helpless in many ways.
I thought about how self-centered and self-absorbed I can become. How I can judge others who are downtrodden or difficult. A song called "The Face of Christ" by Chris Rice came to mind for this week's iPod Devotional.
How did I find myself in a better place
I can't look down on the frown on the other guy's face
'Cause when I stoop down low, look him square in the eye
I get a funny feeling, I just might be dealing
With the face of Christ
Chris Rice talks about how much of our lot in life is completely out of our control.
See you had no choice which day you would be born
Or the color of your skin, or what planet you'd be on
Would your mind be strong, would your eyes be blue or brown
Whether daddy would be rich, or if momma stuck around at all
If I get a little too full of myself I have a surefire cure. I look in the mirror. What I see there is a man who is capable of nearly everything I get angry about with others. I see a man who has made mistakes that could have led me to a very bad place. Somehow God's grace has preserved me and I am humbled again that God is patient as I work this out. Regular readers know of my admiration for the group Casting Crowns. The song "Who Am I" comes to mind in this context.
Who am I?
That the Lord of all the earth,
Would care to know my name,
Would care to feel my hurt.
Take a moment to meditate on that. Then take a moment to meditate on a later verse.
Who am I?
That the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love
And watch me rise again.
That God sees my sin and looks on me with love is mind boggling. How can I accept that love and not at least attempt to offer it to others? Because there is not a (Christian cussing warning) dang thing that I have done to deserve mercy like that. Too often I fear that I judge and have judged people who acted poorly because of incredible pain and difficulty in their daily life. The thought that I might add to the song is who am I that I should not extend the grace to others that I have received in spite of who I am? This is my favorite bridge of the lyric.
Not because of who I am,
But because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done,
But because of who you are.
That is the message I hope to spend my remaining days proclaiming. I have hope and freedom and joy. Not because of who I am or what I have done. My hope, freedom and joy are because of Christ. Because of what He did for me. Christ has given me a new identity. I am given His righteousness and I am freed from condemnation, guilt and shame. I wish I would have had the courage to share that with those two hurting souls today.
John wrote about how God's love should compel us to action.
If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God's love be in that person? (1 John 3, NLT)
I used to get a good batch of self-condemnation worked up over verses like that. But I am realizing the power source for that challenge and John writes about it in the next chapter.
We love each other because he loved us first. (1 John 4, NLT)
That is it. We need to accept and trust that love. Living out of that truth gives us the power to love others.
I pray that I will not look down on struggling people and dismiss them for making bad decisions. I pray that I will believe the old saying that "there but for the grace of God go I". I pray that I will love because I have first been loved. And I pray that I will see the face of Christ.

In 1980s Britain, with disaffected punks and skinheads taking to the streets, and the repercussions of racism triggering explosive riots, it is not the best time to be a member of Her Majesty's Constabulary - particularly if you are a woman. Set on location in colourful Soho and Covent Garden, The Gentle Touch tells the story of tough cop Maggie Forbes. But this is no conventional cops and robbers series - this is real life drama. At times shocking, at times moving, and always utterly gripping

Digital printing is an amazing process that involves your artwork "The Tale Of The Three Brothers" being processed by a computer and then printed directly onto the surface of your product. Digital printing is not a heat transfer or applique, as the ink directly adheres to the fabric of your shirt. Each printing process has its strengths, and our artwork team will weigh these when deciding which to use for your art.
Plot Printing Consists of both Flock and Flex Print, This process transfers your artwork "The Tale Of The Three Brothers" from a special foil through an immense amount of pressure and heat. Flex images are smooth, a little plastic like and a tad bit glossy. Flock images have a fuzzy velvet-like texture and appear slightly more elevated. Think of drawing just the shadows and how that would appear without color. 3 colors plus the color of the garment itself is used to print.

Matthew Gerke needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 207 designs submitted by 41 freelance designers.
Skeptive.com is a brand new web company offering a unique service: we tell you whether what you're reading on the internet is true or false. We will offer a plug-in that checks the website that you're reading. If there's something on the site that's false, the plug-in flags that sentence. Sort of a lie detector for the internet.
We will be launching this summer. If we like what we see, there may be a lot more work where this came from!
We want to make this easy to use -- friendly, unintimidating, straightforward, simple, not a lot of noise. Your grandmother should be able to use it. We also want it to come across as reliable and safe -- not boring, but not complicated. What you see is what you get.
We are looking for a logo -- maybe a typographic treatment, or something very simple and elegant. Probably no photographs or busy pictures.
Logos that we like:
One idea that we came up with was combining an S with a question mark (see attached file below). Feel free to incorporate the idea, or discard it as you see fit. I'd like to see at least a couple of entries using this theme, though.
We don't have any fixed ideas about colors, so feel free to experiment. On the site, there are very small amounts of color, in which red/orange denotes untrustworthy or false, and green denotes trustworthy. These colors need not be in your design though; the site is a blank slate.
The files we will require are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .jpg and layered .psd (RGB)

Great Barrier Reef
Earth : Oceania : Australia : Queensland : Far North Queensland : Great Barrier Reef
The Great Barrier Reef is a coral formation, the largest in the world, located off the Pacific coast of Queensland, Australia. It is home to a spectacular array of marine life and offers awesome diving opportunities.
Get in
By day trip reef boat
Day trips to the reef run from most of the length of the Queensland Coast. Generally speaking, the further north you leave from, the shorter the trip to the reef, as it approaches the coast near Cape Tribulation.
The general trip plan for the major operators provides for a early morning departure, Tie up a few hours later off a pontoon or cay where they have purchased rights, usually lunch is available (or included) and a late afternoon return to port. They always return to one or two specific locations, and it is not unusual for several boats to be within a few hundred metres of each other.
These types of trips are offered (at least) from the mainland coastal towns out of Cape Tribulation, Port Douglas, Cairns, Townsville, Airlie Beach (Shute Harbour), Mackay, Gladstone, and 1770 (from north to south). Check destination guides for more information, as not all trips run every day from every town.
Reef islands
There are many islands scattered off the Queensland Coast in several different island groups. Many cater for day trips, overnight stays, or both, offering widely varying standards of facilities accommodation. Not all islands off the coast are on the reef. Some are continental islands, some coral cays. Some of the continental islands have coral gardens off the beach, others do not. Some islands are teeming with marine life, and others have little. Check the specific destination guides, to see if the island you are thinking of visiting is a snorkeller's paradise, or just a nice place to pull up a deckchair and relax.
The islands that are not on the reef, generally run some sort of day trip by boat to the reef. Some of these trips, especially those in the Whitsundays, can pick up from the mainland prior to picking up from one or two islands, servicing daytrippers from the islands to the coast, coast to islands, and coast and islands to the reef. In these cases, prices are usually similar to what you would pay from the coast. However, there are some islands (typically the premium ones) that offer their own trips, and these can cost considerably more.
Get around
Cairns is considered the gateway to the reef but boats also leave from Airlie Beach, Cooktown, Port Douglas, Mission Beach, Townsville & Yeppoon.
Reef Tours
Scuba dive
The Great Barrier Reef is a famed diving destination, although divers with experience of the tropics find parts of it overused and damaged.
Most travellers learn to dive in Townsville, Cairns or Port Douglas: all have a very competitive dive industry. Most students prefer to do a two day pool and classroom course, followed by a two or three day liveaboard visiting the reef to the east of Cairns. It's possible to learn with some of the operators that travel to the Coral Sea, but check first about the difficulty of their dive sites. Land based learn to dive courses cost about $500, dive courses including a liveaboard start at about $700.
Some day trips to the reef are available from Cairns and Port Douglas diving operators. These trips involve about 2 hours boat travel in each direction and will cost $170-$200. Most operators do three day liveaboards to the reefs east of Cairns, starting at about $500 for 3 of days diving and 2 nights on the boat, meals included. Snorkelers can travel on these trips for reduced prices, but check first about the suitability of their sites for snorkeling. Serious divers generally prefer the five or seven day liveaboards visiting the Coral Sea to the north.
Most boat trips, particularly liveaboards, may be up to 40% cheaper if booked at the last possible moment on standby rates. A certain amount of risk is involved in doing this: you must arrive at the destination hoping that a booking will become available, you need to be able to be somewhat flexible about your date of departure, and you may not be able to travel with your first choice operator. However, most divers report that they are able to find at least one standby trip when they try this. Dive travel agents may also be able to advise you.
Some of the islands have a fringing reef, and it is possible to dive or snorkel from shore.
The southern part of the reef off Townsville is known mostly for the wreck of the Yongala, visited on both liveaboards and day trip operators from Townsville, Ayr and Magnetic Island. The Yongala sank in 1911 in about 30 metres (100 feet) of water. As the bottom is otherwise featureless in this area, it is a haven for fish and coral. However, as the site is unprotected many trips have to be cancelled if weather conditions are not favourable.
Reef day trips sell alcohol on board. Reef islands nearly always have at least one bar, usually much at the centre of island life. Some have innovative pool bars. Some have a young party scene, others have cocktails by the pool, and others close early, targeting the demographic that prefers to wake early to see the dawn, rather seeing it through the haze of the night before. Check the destination guides.
Stay safe
There are marine threats on the reef, from Stonefish to Sharks, Sea Snakes to Jellyfish. Many trips to the reef are made all year around, and injuries due to any of these causes on the reef are rare. Still, take advice from authorities, obey all signs, and pay close attention to safety warnings.

Thursday, January 06, 2011
By Gerry Dulac, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
Aaron Smith has spent the past two days on the Steelers' practice field, wearing the same gear as his teammates and going through the same stretches and warmups. It is the first time he has done that since he sustained a torn triceps tendon in his right arm that caused him to miss the past 10 games.
But, soon as his teammates begin team drills and go through a light practice, Smith goes back to doing what he has been doing since late October -- watching.
And that might not change anytime soon, if at all.
Smith's appearance on the practice field has given hope to an imminent return, even for him. But there still are many questions and concerns from all involved -- his teammates, coaches, the organization, even the 6-foot-5, 300-pound defensive end himself -- about whether he can return any time before the Super Bowl, should the Steelers make it that far.
This much is known: Smith will not play when the Steelers open the postseason Jan. 15 in a divisional playoff game at Heinz Field. The earliest he will return is if the Steelers advance to the AFC championship game Jan. 23, though even that possibility is uncertain at this time.
But having him back on the practice field, even for just light conditioning, is a step in that direction.
"When all the information is in, the ultimate decision is up to me," Smith said Wednesday after practice. "I'll hear what everyone has to say and see what their verdict is and make an informed decision at that time."
The Steelers want to give Smith, one of their best and most-beloved players, every opportunity to show he can come back from his injury and play, even if it is in a limited capacity. But, in the end, Smith could end up like former offensive tackle Marvel Smith, who missed the final 10 games of the 2008 regular season and was placed on the injured-reserve list right before the playoffs when it was determined he would not be ready for the postseason.
"If he comes back, I don't want him to come back unless he can play," said defensive end Brett Keisel. "I don't think he should come back if he's 75 percent. He needs to get his body healthy. That's when he'll be most effective."
The Steelers have left open a roster spot for Smith, 33, since he was injured Oct. 24 in Miami. Still, they remain concerned about a recurrence of his existing injury, or even a new injury that might result from three months of game inactivity, if he plays. That would be another major setback for Smith because it would likely sideline him again until training camp.
The Steelers think Smith can play a couple more seasons and they don't want to jeopardize that possibility by having him appear in a limited role in the postseason.
"You don't want to force him back and reinjure it and start this process all over again and miss all the [offseason training]," Keisel said. "You definitely have to be careful."

Parr said this over to Congress and then we get to it and then to take air missile peaking get credit ... from the left for having taken on this issue whereas there is less likelihood they add that this will pass through this existing Congress or at least not the degree that he's pushing and can't walk away says wash on Capitol Hill to do something ... rotten in the state backing to say ... gosh what's really examine and study ... why we have these terrible terrible mass shootings ... I they seem to be a little bit more frequent Weese recent years but let's look at that they then let's figure out ... how really to tackle this issue ... well I mean that Washington does everything is getting credit less that the acting is acting immediately and that's what you see here even ... though my any puts together this task force but really the time from when it started to the moment which he delivered his recommendation was incredibly short ... with no real way to examine as you said some of these really pressing problems of what we know to be the sum of the biggest problems are in fact he meant because they go to ... the mental health issue and questions like privacy laws ... on questions like via the interaction between patients and doctors ... these are these are enormous problems and an enormous that he she is ... they can take a one time to sort through and get the right solution we haven't done that I can so instead we're going have this and a half baked discussion now about what the president proposes that its chances of getting to Congress and the sun and gun control site another half a discussion on Capitol Hill ... the surprise ...

Executive coach and founder of the Lead With Giants movement, Dan Forbes, joined me on #HealthyLeadership to talk about how he leverages his values and strengths as he takes a GIANT LEAP in life to pursue his vision.
During the interview Dan explained how he created and has grown #LeadWithGiants, a highly successful and engaging leadership community, by staying out of his "comfort zone".
Checkout the interview on #HealthyLeadership.
This article talks about the growth and success of a leader. It shows the different zones of progress and how to be successful being in the
learning zone will be the best bet. As an
administrator making sure you and your staff are not in the comfort zone but in the learning zone will create an atmosphere fostered by learning.

While I am happy to be working with teachers and students to help develop #FutureLeaders, the findings of this Gallup report are alarming.
Here are a few facts that tell the tale of our poor student engagement in schools and its relationship to our declining economy:
Student engagement in school drops precipitously from fifth grade through 12th grade. About three quarters of elementary school kids (76%) are engaged in school, while only 44% of high school kids are engaged. The longer students stay in school, the less engaged they become. If we were doing this right, the trend would be going in the opposite direction.

I've always been a fan of Maslow's hierarchy of needs and I really appreciate this "tweaked" model because it maps it very close to the principles of employee engagement.
On the survival level, I would add "I can't retire" as a common sign of disengagement. As a supervisor, I do all I can to engage many of these staff as they often provide great context and insight as to what has been done in the past and how efforts can be optimized in order to succeed the next time we try them.

Check out the recording below to find out how I was hurting myself and wasting valuable energy at the gym by allowing my anger and resentment to drive my actions and focus. The time we spend at the gym is precious and we should not waste a moment of it on anything other than our goals! Why let others rob us of the little time we have to work on what WE are can achieve?

Exports are projected 50 million bushels lower reflecting the slow pace of sales and shipments, and an outlook for increased foreign competition. Projected U.S. exports are lowered 25 million bushels each for Hard Red Winter (HRW) and Soft Red Winter (SRW) wheat. Projected all-wheat imports are unchanged, but imports are projected slightly higher for HRW wheat with an offsetting reduction made for SRW wheat imports. The projected range for the 2012/13 season-average farm price is narrowed 10 cents on both ends to $7.75 to $8.45 per bushel. Global wheat supplies for 2012/13 are projected 1.9 million tons lower. Beginning stocks for 2012/13 are lowered 0.3 million tons. Higher 2011/12 feed and residual disappearance in EU-27 and lower production for China account for most of the reduction in global 2012/13 beginning stocks. Higher 2011/12 production for Pakistan and lower exports for Australia raise 2012/13 beginning stocks for both countries and partly offset the reductions for EU-27 and China. Global wheat production for 2012/13 is lowered 1.6 million tons. Production is reduced 2.0 million tons for Australia as continued dryness during grain fill in October further reduced yield prospects in western and southeastern growing areas. Production is also lowered 0.3 million tons for Turkey based on the latest confirmations that cool, wet weather during the early growing season delayed development, increased disease problems, and lowered yields in the country's central growing region. Small increases are made in production for Pakistan, EU-27, and Algeria. Global wheat trade is raised for 2012/13, reflecting the continuation of strong shipments from the Black Sea region and India, and the growing competiveness of wheat from the EU-27. Exports are raised 2.0 million tons for Ukraine, 1.0 million tons each for EU-27 and Russia, and 0.5 million tons for India. Partly offsetting these increases is a 1.5-million-ton reduction for Australia with the smaller expected crop and the 1.4-million-ton reduction projected for U.S. exports. Imports are projected 2.7 million tons higher with increases for China, Egypt, EU-27, Israel, Kenya, and Mexico. Global wheat feeding for 2012/13 is lowered 2.5 million tons with reductions for EU-27, Russia, Ukraine, South Korea, and India. Small increases in expected wheat feed use for Egypt, Israel, and Japan limit the global decline. World wheat ending stocks for 2012/13 are projected 1.2 million tons higher with increases for the United States, Pakistan, China, and Egypt. Lower stocks are projected for Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, and Australia. At the projected 174.2 million tons, global stocks remain 46.0 million tons above the recent low in 2007/08.

More than 3.5 million people drive trucks professionally in this country. They are the ones responsible for the food you buy in a grocery store, the TVs you purchase at Wal-Mart, the cars for sale on car lots. In short, truck drivers are the lifeblood of our free market society.
Because of that, each year, drivers are recognized for their hard work and sacrifices – which include days, or even weeks away from their families - with their own week, National Truck Driver Appreciation Week.
This year, the American Trucking Assns. is sponsoring a video contest for people to submit 1 to 2 minute videos explaining why truck drivers are essential parts of society. The winning video will be posted to ATA's web site at www.truckline.com.
Deadline for contest entries is Oct. 15, 2009, so time is running out. According to ATA, videos can be submitted via video camera or cell phone and the organization is placing an emphasis on creativity and message rather than production of the video.
You can visit the organization's web site to see some sample videos already posted. Full rules are also posted. So good or bad, tell your story.
Entries can be sent to [email protected] or American Trucking Associations, ATA Image and Outreach, 950 N. Glebe Rd, Suite 210, Arlington, VA 22203. Or, submissions can be posted to YouTube, tagged with "ATATrucksBringIt" and the URL emailed to [email protected]

ANAHEIM – Dan Boyle was missing this morning when the Sharks skated at Honda Center in preparation for their game tonight against the Anaheim Ducks.
If everything about that except for the arena sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened last week in San Jose.
"He's still fighting the cold and flu bug and that kind of stuff so he doesn't need to be skating in pre-game skates in the morning," Todd McLellan said, adding the Sharks "anticipate him playing."
That was the same explanation on Jan. 29, too. Boyle didn't end up playing that night as the Sharks struggled before winning a 3-2 shootout. Guess we'll find out shortly before 7 p.m. tonight if the pattern continues as far as Boyle's presence or absence.
All indications are that back-up goalie Thomas Greiss will get his second start of the season tonight. McLellan didn't go further than swaying there was a good chance that might happen, but Greiss was the first of the ice this morning and that's usually a pretty strong signal.
If it comes to pass, it'll be the battle of the back-ups as Ducks coach Bruce Boudreau indicated he plans to go with Viktor Fasth, who has played only two games but whose GAA (1.44) and save percentage (.938) are much better than Jonas Hiller's.
Two other Ducks lineup notes while we're on the subject. Defenseman Cam Fowler is out with an apparent head injury. And former Shark forward Brad Staubitz should be in for Devante Smith-Pelley. (Not saying things will go this direction, but anybody who needs a reminder of what Staubitz can provide should check out his classic fight with Jordin Tootoo.)
*****The forward lines were once again shuffled a bit, but it looks as if James Sheppard is getting another start alongside Logan Couture and Ryane Clowe. No changes to the top line, I probably should mention.
But today McLellan had Tommy Wingels back on the third line after missing one game as the odd-man out, skating on left wing with Michal Handzus at center and Marty Havlat on the right side. The fourth line looks to be Andrew Desjardins, Scott Gomez and Adam Burish.
Wingels sat out the shootout loss to Nashville on Saturday and McLellan later indicated it had to do with struggles two nights earlier against Edmonton.
Here's Wingels reaction to being scratched:
"We have 13 good forwards and every one wants to be in the lineup every night. It's a competitive atmosphere and obviously you don't want to be the guy sitting out. I think it helps in practice because all of those guys go a little harder because you want to show you deserve to be in the lineup."
On the blue line, rookie Matt Irwin missed his first game of the season against the Predators with the return of Jason Demers, but would be back in if Boyle ends up sitting this one out.
Irwin said he knew when the season began that he'd be the likely candidate to sit when Demers or Brent Burns returned. He liked the opportunity he had to show what he could do over the first seven games and welcomed his next chance, whether it's tonight or down the road.
******One other result of Demers' return was the shifting of Brad Stuart to the left side as Boyle's partner. Stuart, who had said he hadn't skated regularly on the left side since 2008 with the Los Angeles Kings, acknowledged it was a bit of a challenge at times.
"It takes more than a game to get real comfortable over there, but I thought it was OK," Stuart said. "A few times, I was over on the right side when I shouldn't have been and got a little confused, but I figured it out quick enough."
*****Finally, McLellan was asked about the lack of practice time both in a reduced training camp and compressed season. Some nice insights in his response, that started out by noting that in a normal year, the season would only now be getting started after seven or eight exhibition games.
"We would have another probably four or five days of training camp leading up to game one and you can practice," McLellan said. "You can practice hard, you can practice fast, you can get the intensity level up. Here, we're torn between rest and practice.
"We're erring on rest right now and until our players prove us wrong, we'll probably err that way," he continued. "So how do you replace the practice time? Video, the ability to teach there. We might have a little more of this than we do in normal years, but it's because we're not on the ice doing it."
It's not the same, of course, but in more ways than the obvious.
"We encourage them to ask questions, because when they're on the ice they tend to ask questions," McLellan added. "When they're in a room and there's 25 of them, no one wants to put their hand up. We're encouraging them to get interactive and vocal in that environment, but it's hard."

Introduction to the Wet Plate Collodion Process
June 27-28, 2015
Please keep in mind, this course will fill on a first come, first served basis - ONLY 2 PEOPLE will be accepted into this workshop. With limited seats, it will fill and close fast.
Studio Q / Quinn Jacobson Photography
Aurora, Colorado
This is an intensive, two-day, hands-on workshop that covers all aspects of making positive Wet Plate Collodion images; including Ambrotypes (black and clear glass), Tintypes/Ferrotypes, Alumitypes, and positive images on alternative substrate such as plastic, mirror, etc.
This course is designed for people who have never worked with the Wet Collodion process or for people that have and want more formal training in it. No darkroom experience is required but is helpful. No large format camera experience is required but again, it's helpful.
Students will get to see the process executed from start to finish and the workflow methodology that Quinn uses for his work.
Quinn will teach an in-depth segment on chemistry. Every (individual) chemical will be discussed and described in detail. Students learn about each chemical's function and purpose in the process – this is very important as it relates to troubleshooting. Safety, storage and handling are also major components of this segment. Students will participate in making each of the chemicals for the process. Students will have the option to purchase a complete chemical kit to take with them at the end of the course (if they are driving). The kit can also be sent via FedEx. The chemical kits are $325 - that includes everything needed to make Wet Plate Collodion images when you leave the workshop.
All of the equipment will be covered - that includes equipment for field work as well as studio work. Quinn will explain the essentials; from beakers to dark boxes, he'll show you everything you need and give you information on the best places to get it. You'll also be able to use a portable dark box (making images in the field) as well as using the luxury studio darkroom. Everything is covered and you will experience it all.
Plate Making
The students will use (Alumitypes) Quarter-Plate, and 4x5 format sizes. Students will have the opportunity to work in both of these formats. The second day of the workshop is devoted to plate making which includes preparations, glass cutting, cleaning, etc. pouring plates, sensitizing plates, exposing plates, developing plates, fixing plates and varnishing plates.
Critiques & Troubleshooting
At the end of the second day, there will be an overview/critique about the images made. This critique is based on troubleshooting – things that went wrong and things that worked. It's a very valuable part of the course.
What's Provided?
- You can attend the workshop with nothing but a pen and notebook. Cameras, chemistry, substrate and facilities are all provided. You are welcome and encouraged to bring your own camera (if you can). Using your own equipment helps when you start making images on your own.
- You will receive a copy of Quinn's book, "Chemical Pictures" and access to the online video workshop. The book will be used throughout the course. The online video course is a great visual reference for what you will see in the workshop (making chemistry, exposure, troubleshooting, etc.).
- There will be drinks available at the studio (coffee/espresso, water, soft drinks, etc.) throughout the day.
Course Date: June 27-21, 2015
Location: Studio Q / Quinn Jacobson Photography
Aurora, Colorado
Time: 9AM - 5PM (with a lunch break)
Cost: $750
How to Pay
"Course Deposit" - ($250 USD) Required to hold a spot in the course
"Balance for Course" - ($500) after deposit) Due on or before the first day of the course
"Full Course Payment" - self explanatory

Open22 Mike needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 90 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Lollipop Clothes
We are starting a childrens resale clothing and toy store, meaning we buy kids clothes and toys that are used but still in good condition and then put them on the shelves to sell. So the seller gets some cash out of stuff they don't need and everyone else can get some great clothes/toys they need for affordable prices.
Taking care of the environment is a big part of our company culture. I plan to take clothes that can't be resold because of tears or stains and use them in parts of my store instead of sending them to the landfills.
Our store is going to be for parents who love their kids and want the best for them now and later.
Our target audience of course is parents of children 10 years and younger, but they need to immediately know that our store is where they can buy things for their children.
Need an eye-catching logo with an accompanying picture that shouts "kid stuff sold here".
Needs some modern children's colors, none of the basic red, blue, and yellow of the 80s.
And of course the name of the store is Lollipop Clothes, so incorporating lollipops/suckers would be awesome.
And please, a logo and a picture/graphic of some sign. Just our name in fun font ain't going to work.

Columbia, Mo. - The Tennessee State men's basketball team's three-game win streak was snapped on Saturday when the team fell to Missouri, 38-68 in front of a crowd of 10,338.
TSU (4-6) forced 19 turnovers, but shot 23.8 percent from the field (15-of-63) and made just six of its 24 three-point attempts.
Robert Covington and Jordan Cyphers were the only members of the TSU team to score over ten points, as Covington led the team with 12 and Cyphers added 11.
Patrick Miller tallied a game-high five assists and played all 40 minutes of the game.
Missouri (8-1) won the tip and Laurence Bowers hit his first of seven first half shots, putting Missouri up 2-0 with only 20 seconds gone off of the clock.
Bowers finished with a game-high 18 points and 10 boards.
TSU answered UM's quick score with a layup from Deshawn Dockery and Covington nailed a three-pointer at the 18:19 mark to give Tennessee State a one-point lead.
TSU got up by as many as four when Cyphers hit a wide-open three pointer, but Bowers and Alex Oriakhi were able to keep Missouri in the game by scoring the team's first 19 points.
With the score tied at 15 with 10 minutes left in the first period, TSU's defense clamped down and didn't allow Missouri a single point for nearly five minutes. TSU forced five turnovers during the stretch which helped the team accumulate 11 during the first half of play.
Missouri also played well defensively during the first stanza, as TSU only shot 29.6 percent from the field.
Bowers hit a three-pointer with 45 seconds left, putting TSU down 23-20 at halftime.
Missouri opened up the game after the break, and went on a 14-3 run that spanned seven minutes and 21 seconds.
TSU had a handful highlight reel play during the second half including a pair of strong, breakaway throw downs by Covington. The second was an alley-oop at the 2:52 mark off of a pretty dish by Miller, but it wasn't enough.
Tennessee State scored just 18 points during the second half and lost to Missouri 38-68.
TSU's 38 points was its lowest total since scoring the same number against Westminster in 1960.
TSU was outrebounded 52 to 27, leading to 30 points in the paint for Missouri.
TSU will try to get back into the win column on Sunday, Dec. 16 when the squad hosts Lemoyne-Owen at 4 p.m.

Pynenberg Named NCAC Defensive Player of the Yearby Brent Harris • November 21, 2006 Share:
Wabash junior linebacker Adrian Pynenberg has been named the Hank Critchfield Award recipient for 2006 as the North Coast Athletic Conference's Defensive Player of the Year. Pynenberg also heads a list of 12 Little Giant football players named to the league's All-Conference teams.
Pynenberg led the Little Giants in tackles for the third consecutive season, recording 101 stops in 10 games. He was fourth in the conference in total tackles, tied for second in tackles for losses (14), and third in sacks (7.5). A preseason First Team All-American selection by both d3football.com and Lindy's College Football Annual, Pynenberg was also named to the ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District V Second Team. He recorded a career-best 20 tackles in the Little Giants' victory over Millikin, one of five games he reached double figures in total tackles. Pynenberg has started every game of his career and was named one of four co-captains for the 2006 season. He is currently second in school history in career tackles for losses with 47, fourth in total tackles (283), and eighth in quarterback sacks (18.5).
Pynenberg was selected to the All-NCAC First Team for the second consecutive season, as well. He is the third Wabash player to win the Critchfield Award, named for the 1927 Wooster graduate and presented each year by Mr. Ernie Infield of Wooster. Nate Boulais '03 won the award in 2002 and Blair Hammer '04 was the 2003 recipient.
Joining Pynenberg on the All-NCAC First Team is senior quarterback Dustin Huff. Huff led the NCAC and was third in the nation in total offense with 3,287 yards. He topped all NCAC quarterbacks with 2,961 passing yards and 29 TDs, and led the conference and was fifth in the nation in passing efficiency with a rating of 170.9. He threw for over 300 yards five times and tossed three or more touchdown passes in six different games. Huff also ran for 326 yards and four scores.
Mike Russell, Patrick Millikan, and Will Certain were also First Team All-NCAC Offense selections. Russell, a junior, led all wide receivers in the conference with 60 catches for 1,052 yards and tied for the top mark in TD receptions with 13. His receptions and yardage totals also placed him among the top players in nation --- he finished the year ranked sixth in receiving yards per game (105.2) and 28th in receptions per game (6.0). Russell's 13 touchdown catches tied him for the second-most in a season in Wabash and NCAC history. He also became only the fourth Little Giant receiver to eclipse the 1,000-receiving yards mark.
Senior co-captains Certain and Millikan both started on the right side of an offensive line that helped Wabash to the third-best passing offense in the nation with an average of 301.2 yards per game. Their offensive unit also ranked 13th in scoring (35.6 points per game) and 12th in total offense (423.1 yards per game). Certain, a guard, and Millikan, a tackle, were both also named ESPN The Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-District V First Team selections. Millikan earned All-NCAC honors for the third time after being named to the conference Second Team in 2004 and First Team in 2005. Certain was an All-NCAC Second Team member in 2005.
Senior defensive end Frank Knez joined Pynenberg as a First Team All-Conference Defensive pick. The senior moved from linebacker to the defensive line early in the season after an injury to teammate Jared Lange. Knez finished the year with 46 tackles, including nine tackles for losses totaling 45 yards and six sacks. He added two interceptions to his season totals before capping his career with a safety in the 113th Monon Bell Classic to secure the 23-20 win for the Little Giants.
Geoff Walker, Richard Roomes, and Chad Finley were Second Team All-NCAC selections. Walker, a senior wide receiver, played in the first six games before seeing his season end with a knee injury at Wittenberg. Despite the injury he still finished eighth in the league with 33 catches and sixth in receiving yards per game with an average of 66.7. He caught five touchdown passes for a total of 11 in his career.
Roomes, a junior, started nine of ten games at cornerback, finishing fifth on the Little Giant team in tackles with 42. His first career interception came at Wittenberg, picking off a pass and returning in 41 yards. He made a career-best eight tackles at Franklin in the season-opener, with six solo stops. Roomes blocked an extra point against Allegheny in a Homecoming victory for Wabash. He recorded a forced fumble in the win over Ohio Wesleyan.
Junior kicker Finley was the second-leading scorer for the Little Giants with 56 points. He kicked 41 extra points to break the Wabash single-season PAT record. Finley was 5-of-7 in field goal attempts, including a career-long 46-yard boot against Millikin. He also handled the punting duties for the Little Giants, averaging 35 yards per punt. He hit a season-best 60-yard punt in the Wabash victory at Earlham.
Two other Little Giants were named to the Honorable Mention All-Conference team. Senior TJ Schaffer made 30 tackles as a defensive tackle, including two tackles for losses totaling 20 yards. He made a career-best five tackles against Ohio Wesleyan, then matched it once again in a win over Wooster. He also recorded 1-1/2 sacks for 18 yards and one quarterback hurry. Schaffer was also an Honorable Mention pick in 2005.
Senior tight end Tim Schirack earned his first All-Conference honors after making seven catches for 131 yards. He made a career-best two TD catches on the season, including a nine-yard touchdown catch against DePauw in the Monon Bell Classic. His biggest career reception also came in that game when he hauled in a 32-yard pass near the goal line to set up the first touchdown of the game.

Ken Loach introduces A Blonde in Love (1965), a wry tale about the impossible odds of a youthful romance in Communist Czechoslovakia directed by Milos Forman. Loach describes the similarities between Forman's work and his own, and the preference both directors share for using non-professional actors.
Ken Loach was speaking at a screening of A Blonde in Love shown courtesy of BFI Screen Epiphanies in partnership with American Express®.
Born: 17 June 1936, Nuneaton, Warks.

Pay no attention to that band behind the curtain. (Or in the orchestra pit.) Not that you'll necessarily need to. In the touring version of "The Wizard of Oz" that wraps on Sunday at the Civic Theatre, there almost isn't one.
Patrons scanning their programs at the show, presented by Broadway/San Diego, may be startled to see it lists just three musicians — a keyboardist, a trumpet player and a drummer-percussionist — plus a musical director/conductor.
Even by the standards of a non-union tour such as this one, that's tiny. By comparison, Broadway/San Diego's recent Equity (union) presentation of "West Side Story" employed 18 musicians, 15 of them locally based. On Broadway itself, orchestras tend to be even larger: There are 23 musicians in the still-running "Oz" spinoff "Wicked" (although that show's touring versions typically have smaller orchestras).
It's a different story for rock musicals: The touring version of "Next to Normal" that Broadway/San Diego brought to the Balboa Theatre in January had a seven-member band, two of them local.
But "The Wizard of Oz" is no rock musical; it features essentially the same score as the iconic 1939 movie. So where do all those strings and other orchestra-like sounds in the show come from? The answer lies in a separate credit given to keyboardist Jonathan Loving: "Notion operator."
Notion is a software program that musicians can use, in the words of the manufacturer's Web site, "to bring the magic of a full orchestra" to a production. The site boasts that Notion also has been used in touring shows from "The Producers" to "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels."
But is simulating "the magic of a full orchestra" the same as having a live orchestra playing in the pit? (Never mind that the "Wizard" program does indeed describe the three-piece ensemble as an "orchestra.") And on the flip side: Does a typical audience member really notice the difference?
One thing is sure: The amount Broadway/San Diego is charging for "Wizard of Oz" tickets is comparable to that for the full-orchestra "West Side Story" — with a top price (including fees) of about $120.

LONGMONT -- A 52-year-old man accused of causing a tragic accident last week recently was told his lymphoma had returned and had only months to live, his father told the Times-Call in an email Wednesday.
Gary Sheats, who is accused of driving drunk and causing a Thursday wreck in which a 27-year-old pregnant woman lost her baby, admitted to a police officer that he had been drinking before the crash, according to reports.
Officers arrested Sheats on the 1200 block of Winslow Circle, after a witness followed him from the crash at 17th Avenue and Pace Street. According to reports, he drove on the rim of the one of the tires on the Dodge Durango he was driving.
Police believe Sheats was driving west on 17th Avenue on Thursday afternoon and turned left onto Pace Street in front of Heather Surovik's white Pontiac Grand Prix.
Surovik, 27, was badly injured and she lost a baby boy due to be born within days. Passenger Terry Koester, 48, Surovik's mother, was seriously injured. Surovik's 5-year-old son was uninjured. A third vehicle driven by Martha Rudd, 68, also was struck. She was uninjured.
Sheats' father, Billy Sheats, told the Times-Call in an email on Wednesday that his son did not live in Longmont, although police reported Gary Sheats' address on Winslow Circle.
Billy Sheats wrote that his son lived in Denver until three or four months ago when a doctor told Gary Sheats that his lymphoma had returned and "suggested he plan his life in months instead of years."
Billy Sheats said his son sold his Denver condo, bought a motor home and left on a long trip through the southeastern states. He returned and was visiting with his parents in Longmont for a few days while the motor home had some work done.
"That is why he borrowed one of our cars to go to see his sister (two) miles away. He was returning from such a visit when the accident occurred," Billy Sheats wrote in the email.
Billy Sheats wrote that his son had a driver's license in his wallet at the time of the accident, but police report it was suspended.
"We are saddened about the death of the fetus and the injuries to those in the other car," Billy Sheats wrote. "We are praying for all parties involved."
When police caught up with Sheats on Thursday on Winslow Circle, Officer Christopher Skuster approached Sheats and asked him if the Durango belonged to him. Sheats replied that the SUV belonged to his father, but he was driving it and admitted that he was in the wreck.
"You're probably going to arrest me," Skuster quoted Sheats as saying. The officer asked why and Sheats reportedly replied, "because I have been drinking."
The officer reported that Sheats struggled to stand on his own and fell over several times during roadside tests.
Police also found a silver marijuana pipe and four small partially smoked marijuana cigarettes, police reported.
Sheats submitted to three blood draws and a breath-analysis test that showed he had a .292 blood-alcohol content. Under Colorado law, drivers who have a BAC of .08 are driving under the influence of alcohol.
Police found Sheats had been arrested on suspicion of DUI on Jan. 18, 1980, in Adams County; Aug. 14, 1988, in Denver; Sept. 5, 1992, in Arapahoe County; March 19, 2008; and on Aug. 13, 2008, in Denver.
As part of the investigation, police checked with doctors at Longmont United Hospital, and they reported that Surovik suffered "intracranial hemorrhage" and "intrauterine fetal demise."
Sheats has been charged with vehicular assault, two counts of leaving the scene of an accident, two counts of driving under the influence, one count of DUI on a third or subsequent offense and one count of careless driving. He is in the Boulder County Jail on $100,000 bond.
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said vehicular homicide could only be charged if the baby was born, then died of injuries suffered in the crash.
The Boulder County coroner will make the final determination on whether the baby, Brady Paul, lived outside of his mother's womb before his death. The coroner has not yet ruled on cause or manner of death. Under Colorado law, an unborn baby is considered a fetus until birth, according to prosecutors.
Police report that Sheats did not have a valid license and, according to reports, found his license was suspended due to insurance termination.

This is an archived article that was published on sltrib.com in 2012, and information in the article may be outdated. It is provided only for personal research purposes and may not be reprinted.
Provo • Junior wide receiver Cody Hoffman is arguably the best football player at BYU this season, one of the top talents in the state of Utah, and seemingly on the verge of having an All-America type year.
Nobody in his hometown of Crescent City, Calif., pop: 7,562, is the least bit surprised.
"He is doing nothing more now than he was doing in high school," says his father, Richard Hoffman. "It is no surprise to me, or hundreds of other people around Del Norte County that have seen him play. People will tell you all the time, it was a total joy watching him grow up playing here."
And dominating so much so that he was referred to as baseball great Ken Griffey Jr. during a Little League baseball game when he was 12. When he was a freshman in high school, the local newspaper reported that opposing players pointed at him on the football field and said, "Look, there's Randy Moss."
The Daily Triplicate still keeps tabs on the favorite son with a couple of features each season, along with reports on how he performed in almost every game.
Much like Jimmer Fredette turned the town of Glens Falls, N.Y., into an enclave of BYU fans, Hoffman has done the same thing in the scenic town just 23 miles from the Oregon border. Crescent City is roughly the size of Heber City or Richfield, but far more isolated.
"Oh, yeah, everybody is a BYU fan right now," said Richard Hoffman, a guard at nearby Pelican Bay State Prison, which houses California's most dangerous and violent criminals. "All my friends, and all his teachers, and even his cousins, they are all BYU fans now."
That was evident last October, when more than 200 Del Norte County residents made the five-hour trek to Corvallis to watch Cody Hoffman catch nine passes, including a juggling, circus catch that became a YouTube sensation, for 162 yards in the Cougars' 38-28 win over Oregon State.
A similar following is expected on Nov. 17 when BYU plays at San Jose State. Simply put, Cody Hoffman is a rock star in Crescent City, the hottest export since quarterback Buck Pierce, who starred collegiately at New Mexico State (2001-04) and now plays for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.
"It is just so surreal, and such a great feeling to me, knowing that not even a handful of guys have gone from my high school straight to a Division I school for athletics," Hoffman said. "It is great to look back at where I came from, and where I am now, and hopefully where I will be in the future. It's just crazy."
Having caught 61 passes for 943 yards and 10 touchdowns last year, topping it off with an MVP performance in the Armed Forces Bowl, Hoffman is being touted as an All-America candidate in 2012. That won't change his approach, he said.
"I am still going out there as hungry as I've been before, if not hungrier, because I want it more now that I am a name player. It will just drive me to compete harder and try to do bigger things for the team," he said.
In Crescent City, he was doing big things athletically almost from the time he could walk, and Richard Hoffman knew Cody had a special gift. When he was just 3 years old, he would play catch in the living room with his dad's friend, a former Chico State pitcher, and fling the ball back as hard as it was thrown to him.
"Amazing coordination, and he was just three. It was something that I will never forget," Richard Hoffman said.
A year later, Cody threw a matchbox car at his mother so hard that it gave her a black eye.
"Kind of hard to explain around town, how your wife got a black eye," his dad said.
By the time he hit high school, Hoffman was already a legend around town, and he didn't disappoint on the football field, although his father claims baseball was his best sport. He was all-conference three straight years, yet the only four-year college program to offer him a scholarship was Sacramento State until BYU got wind of him.
By now, BYU and Del Norte fans are familiar with the story: Mendenhall and Crescent City native Terry Vance were roommates and track teammates at Oregon State in the mid-1980s. A teacher at Del Norte, Vance called Mendenhall and told him about what has turned out to be one of the best recruiting finds in BYU football history.
Ironically, Hoffman was on a recruiting visit to Sac State with his father and was being pushed for a quick commitment when a Del Norte coach called and said BYU was expressing interest. Cody Hoffman said he had never heard of the school, let alone its sponsoring institution, The Church of Jesus Christ Latter-day Saints.
A few days later, the Hoffmans boarded an airplane bound for Salt Lake City, and Mendenhall offered Cody a scholarship just hours after he got to Provo. Unlike Sac State, BYU coaches didn't want an answer right then and there, instead urging Cody to think about it for a few days and talk it over with his parents.
He committed a few days after that. After a redshirt year that Hoffman and his father say was extremely tough to deal with, Hoffman made an instant impact in 2010, catching 42 passes for 527 yards and seven TDs. He became the go-to guy for quarterback Riley Nelson, his former roommate in Provo.
"I thought last year was pretty special [for Hoffman]," Mendenhall said. "I think you use that as the baseline and hopefully he will do more. I am sure he wants more, and it will help our team if there is more."

How to get elapsed time ? and can we display integer on the screen?
Elapsed time can be measured using the <ctime> library.
I am not an expert on displaying things on screen (yet), so if you want to just easily and quickly test something i'd recommend debugging it somewhere.

Second, debonair: In addition to what GClements said, you can use std::chrono in C++11 or boost::chrono otherwise. Also, what Windowing toolkit are you using? FreeGLUT, Qt, SDL, GLFW, ... ? Most if not all of these already provide means for timing in a x-platform manner.
Aside from the usual approach GClements mentioned, OpenGL has never had any facilities to directly render text. You can use various libraries like FreeType, libcairo + libpango and various others or you go the easy way and do it yourself, with the obvious drawback that you don't have support for multiple fonts and can only support characters you already represent with a texture. In other words, yes, you can haz integerz.
heres a little time pausing function i wrote:
the problem i think is that eventually clock will get too large for its type and wierd things will happen. good if youre just screwing around, but not good for serious work.Code ://time function #include <time.h> void skip(float t) { clock_t time = clock() + (CLOCKS_PER_SECOND * t) while (clock() < time); }

Neither is it a view of the anglicized minority which has lost touch with its roots... nor does it speak for the Marathi masses who may lack the "worldview".

Lift Off!
With a roar, the space shuttle takes off on a new mission. Inside it's a bumpy ride for the astronauts. They are pressed back in their seats by the speed of the takeoff.
Just eight minutes after launch, the shuttle is in space. The booster rockets and the large, black fuel tank have detached. The engines turn off, and the shuttle quietly begins to orbit Earth.
When the astronauts are ready, they open the doors to the cargo bay. The bay is large enough to hold a bus and may be carrying a satellite such as the Hubble Telescope or modules to build the International Space Station. A long robot arm on the shuttle will lift out the cargo.
After about a week in space, it's time to come home. With a blast from its engines, the shuttle falls from orbit and glides back to Earth. As it touches down on the runway, the shuttle releases a parachute that slows it down enough for the crew to apply the brakes.
Welcome home! Mission accomplished!
Did You Know…
A special trolley carries the shuttle to the launch site. It moves very slowly and carefully, only a few feet a minute.
Two rocket boosters help blast the shuttle into space. They have parachutes in their tips so they can fall safely back to Earth and be used again on the next shuttle flight.
The shuttle opens the doors of its cargo bay. On some missions the shuttle carries scientific equipment and space station parts.
Astronauts help to build the space station.
- booster:
- A device used to help launch a vehicle such as a rocket.
- module:
- A unit of a spacecraft that performs a specific task to help the spacecraft function.
- How can you tell the space shuttle is going fast as it takes off?
- The space shuttle's engines turn off after the shuttle reaches space. Do you think the shuttle is going faster or slower than it was when it was flying towards space?
- How do you know the shuttle is going fast when it lands on the runway?
