Twice in the mid 90's, Mike and John Gaffney tried to dethrone mighty Mount St. Charles, and both times they came up empty. Mike, the father and Toll Gate head coach, and John, the son and Toll Gate player, lost to the Mounties in the championship series in both 1995-96 and 1996-97.
Mike's still on the case. The former head hockey coach of all three Warwick public high schools is now the head coach at La Salle Academy, and he'll be once again trying to knock off the Mounties when his Rams, coming off an upset victory over Hendricken in the semifinals, take on Mount this weekend for the state championship.
John won't exactly be there with him this time, but he won't be too far away either. He'll at least be in the same building.
And when Mike isn't coaching La Salle's upset bid, standing atop the bench, he'll spend some time watching John's own upset bid.
Together, they're the very definition of a hockey family, and they're both on the verge of history.
Mike will be trying to bring La Salle its first state title since the 1976-77 season. John, meanwhile, is the head coach for Prout, and he'll be looking to lead the Crusaders to their first Division II title ever when they take on unbeaten Lincoln this weekend.
A father and a son, both trying to get to the top.
"A lot of life lessons I learned from him through hockey," said John, who is 34, of his father. "That's what's made me the man I am today. I think we probably have different coaching styles, and the motivational techniques might be different, but I think the message is the same – being a good person on and off the ice."
John graduated from Toll Gate in 1997, and after college, came back to begin his coaching career. He took over a Prout program that was just starting out and has turned it into a regularly-improving contender. In 2008-09, he led the Crusaders to the Division III title. After moving them up to D-II, he led the team to the finals last year, where it lost to Coventry. This season, he pioneered Prout to the No. 2 seed, and now it's back in the finals again.
"We're just very passionate about hockey," John said. "It's ingrained, and it's not like that's a bad thing. There's a lot of good in the life lessons you can teach in and around the rink."
It's come as no surprise to Mike that John is now a successful head coach. In fact, John's not the only Gaffney son in the coaching tree. Stephen Gaffney, 28, is an assistant coach with Mike at La Salle, while James Gaffney, 28, assists John at Prout.
That makes four Gaffneys coaching on Rhode Island's biggest high school stage.
"I think hockey's in their heart," Mike said. "They love it. I might be a little prejudiced, but I think they have something to offer, too. I think it kind of shows."
Mike would know a thing or two, as his high school coaching career extends all the way back to the 1970's when he served as the head coach of Warwick Vets. He's also coached Pilgrim and most recently Toll Gate, until he took a few years off after the 2003 season. Then, he started up his journey at La Salle, doing what he loves.
Realistically, he's doing what all the Gaffneys love. He's just been doing it for a little bit longer. Mike and his wife Debbie have seven children – six of whom are sons – and sports, particularly hockey, are a binding quality among them.
"I think that our family is unique in just the passion," John said. "The genetics, or the upbringing, all of us. We have that intangible. It's just there. Whether we're playing street hockey or on the pond, there's that true genuine love for the game."
And while the Gaffney name and the love of the sport show the similarities between Mike and John, there are certainly some differences in the style of the two head coaches.
Mike's a little more old school, while John comes from a younger generation. Stephen and James are even younger, and they provide a little bit of a different perspective.
"I hope they're far better than my style," Mike said. "I hope the coach they played for at Toll Gate, who was the coach and the father, I hope they learned some of the things that you'd like to do, but also some things where they probably say, 'Gee, I wouldn't do that.' They're their own men, and they run their own program."
Whatever their differences are, though, Mike and John have done one thing in similar fashion – win. Mike has established winning programs at every one of his stops, and John's one stop has yielded the same thing.
And, luckily for them, they don't have to square off against each other very often. They played once in a non-league game this season, with La Salle winning 4-1, but right now that's about as far as the rivalry goes.
"Somebody said, 'Oh it'd be great to have you and your father playing for a state championship,'" John said. "I'm thinking, no, because someone is going to win and someone is going to lose. And Easter dinner or Easter brunch is going to be a little awkward, to say the least."
For now though, they don't have to worry about crossing that bridge. La Salle certainly isn't moving from the state's top division, and Prout may still have a few more years before it's quite ready for that level of competition.
Playing in separate divisions also affords them both the chance to win a title. Prout plays today at Brown's Meehan Auditorium, Saturday and Sunday, if necessary. La Salle is scheduled to play Friday, Saturday and Monday, if necessary.
That should be a staggered enough schedule for each of them to put their fan hat on.
"I'll go there and be a fan of Prout for those games," Mike said.
"I'll be rooting for the La Salle Rams," John said.
Certainly circumstances have changed from the Toll Gate days of the mid-90's, but the ultimate goal is still the same.
A father and a son, both trying to get to the top.

Ok, I finally got some lighting setup and on Saturday we had a wedding to attend. That combination is gold for getting the family to do a quick photo shoot! My kids have no patience for me and my photography..but I had their attention for a few moments!
My lighting setup (sorry no pics of it) are
47" Octobox w/diffuser with 2 V860II in Manual mode either both at 1/4 or 1/2 power.
I had the X1T-C to control the V860's and a YN622C on my camera and one my hand to trigger the camera.
The Octobox was probably 8-10 feet to the right of the image and about 8-10 feet in the air...angled some what downward and slightly turned away.
Shot with my 70D and 18-135mm. I did not have time to try with my 50mm or 55-250mm for different affects...wish I did though.
Anyway...critique is what I want....lighting, pose, camera settings, white balance...give it to me!
These have been slightly edited in DPP for sharpening or a slight bump in shadow.
I will clone out the the flower stand or birdhouse and mesh in background but I really want critique in all other areas.

Community expresses concerns about June Mountain closures
"If you think you can wait until November to decide to reopen this mountain, you can't," said June Mountain Ski Area's general manager, Carl Williams, to a packed room of citizens at the Mono County Board of Supervisors meeting in Bridgeport on Tuesday.
Williams' comments capped an emotional hour and a half as residents and June Mountain aficionados spoke at length about the impact Mammoth Mountain Ski Area's closure of June for the summer and coming winter (announced publicly June 21) would have on the unincorporated community of June Lake.
They spoke about themselves and their friends and neighbors losing jobs, they spoke about their love of riding or skiing June, they spoke about their frustration that the whole thing happened so fast that they had very little time to prepare. The short notice made the entire issue even worse, they said.
They talked about knowing people who were interested in buying the resort and they talked about their frustration that (they believed) June was never prioritized or marketed properly as a ski area by MMSA.
They asked the county supervisors to support them in all this (see breakout box below), noting the county, too, would suffer if June Mountain shut down.
Williams spoke after most of them had vowed to fight for June, to find a solution that would reverse the news that came out two weeks ago.
If June Lake residents were looking for reassurance, they didn't get it from Williams.
"If anyone has brilliant idea and very deep pockets and doesn't want a return, that would be great," he said.
"Dave McCoy called me the other day to ask me how I was doing," Williams said. "I told him a very wise man (McCoy) once told me that when it stops being fun, it's time to do something else. Well, it has stopped being fun.
"I know the numbers, probably better than anyone, better than Rusty. If you want to keep this mountain open, it starts today. We cannot decide in November to open a ski area."
It's not possible, he said. There is too much that needs to be done in advance of the fall, to get the mountain open again.
No answers
Even the Inyo National Forest, the agency that holds the special use permit that allows MMSA to operate the ski area, vented frustration.
"I found out about this on June 20," said Mammoth and Mono Lake District Ranger Jon Reggelbrugge. "We advised them that we were somewhat disappointed, both in terms of our relationship with them and because they did not benefit from consultation with us.
"They said they had pressing reasons for this (abrupt decision)," he said, but then added that he did not know the details of why MMSA made such a drastic, eleventh hour decision to close June the very day it was supposed to open for the summer season.
In fact, Reggelbrugge seemed as mystified about what had happened—and why—as was most of the audience. If the audience had hoped for concrete answers from the forest service, they didn't get that either.
Reggelbrugge reiterated comments made last week by the Forest Service that operating the ski area is a "privilege not a right" and he said MMSA was clearly violating its permit.
But he didn't give any specifics about how long such an action could continue before the Forest Service forces the MMSA's hand, and he didn't say what the consequences would be to MMSA if it didn't reopen the resort anytime soon.
Instead, he said that he and Ed Armenta, the forest supervisor, would meet with Gregory next Tuesday and begin discussion.
"After that, I will know more," he said.
Even Ron Cohen, executive a tMMSA, didn't have much information to add to the discussion. He deferred most questions to Gregory, saying that until Gregory and Armenta met, he was not at liberty to add to anything that MMSA has already said about the situation.
The county supervisors vowed to support the June Lake community and put pressure on MMSA and the Forest Service to be involved in upcoming discussions, but it was clear they didn't have many answers either—and not much power.
June Mountain Ski Area is on public land. MMSA is a private corporation. Both of those facts severely limit what a county government can do, something that Tim Hansen, the county supervisor for Lee Vining and areas north, was well aware of.
"It's not like we can go tell a private company what to do with their money," he said.
County Supervisor Larry Johnston was defiant.
"Closure is not an option," he said. "This is on public lands. This is our land. They shouldn't be meeting in private.
"We are going to hold their feet to the fire," he said to applause.
County supervisor Hap Hazard was subdued.
"It's natural we are here today, we will do everything we can do to help but it's premature," he said. "We simply don't know what the heck Mammoth Mountain is thinking about or what they are going to do."
The county did agree to address a list of demands by the citizens and to prioritize the June Mountain issue by making sure county supervisors were involved in various meetings, such as the upcoming June Lake meeting next Tuesday when Gregory is scheduled to speak to the June Lake Citizens Advisory Committee. The JLCAC meeting is Tuesday, July 10, at 7 p.m. at the June Lake Community Center.
Local business owners, such as Double Eagle Resort and Spa owner Connie Black and other members of the JLCAC said the CAC group would be the primary citizen action group related to the closure issue from here on.

Elephant engraved on artifact
From Crespi Collection Cuenca Ecuador.
Crespi gold plates with elephants (bottom corners) and Paleo-Hebrew characters. From Crespi Artifact Collection, Ecuador
Yalloch, Guatemala, Late Classic, 600-900 A.D.
The mystery of America's Elephant plates
Harris, Neil J.; Science Digest, 69:74-77, March 1971
Oaxaca, Mexico
While these finds are strong evidence for the existence of elephants in America, they do not tell us when those elephants were there. These images could be the result of stories passed down to each generation. Because of the shape of the elephants skulls, I do not believe they could have gotten these images from remains they found, unless these remains still retained some flesh, such as those rare examples in the far north.
It would be much more convincing if some elephant remains had been found that could be dated, since the ideas contained in art could be much older than the artwork. The following are a few example of archeological and historical evidence for the existence of elephants in America much more recently than commonly thought.
Near Concordia, Columbia, a complete skeleton of a mastodon was found in an artificial salt pond, which had been constructed by Indians. The pond, with its bottom of paved stones together with the animal, had been entombed by a sudden landslide (Victoria Institute,1886, 22:151).
Rock carvings of the mastodon was found in Hava Supai Canyon, Arizona, and were believed to date back to 10,000 B.C. In the same location, however, utensils were found made out of live, not fossil, ivory, which could lower the date considerably (Santesson, 1970, p.39).
"From the City of Mexico comes a statement bearing the signature of Dr. Nicholas Leon, archaeologist of the National Museum of Mexico. The signature would justify the belief that proper investigation of the facts related has been made. The one great fact is that an ancient city, which was located near the present town of Paredon, in the state of Coahuila, some 500 miles north of the City of Mexico, was suddenly destroyed in some past age by an overflow of water and mud, and that its remains are still existent on the spot. Many massive walls have been found, but they are covered with a mass of deposited earth, sixty feet in thickness. And mingled in this earth are human skeletons, the tusks of elephants, etc. , are distributed in a way which indicates that the overflow of water and mud was sudden, giving no time for escape...
"According to the estimates of the scientists under whose directions the excavations are now being made, the city in question had a population of least 50, 000. The destruction which was brought by the flood was complete. All the inhabitants of the cities were killed, as well as all the animals. Skeletons of the human inhabitants of the cities and of the animals are strewn all through the debris, from a depth of three feet from the surface to a depth of sixty feet, showing that all the debris was deposited almost at once. Measurements show that the debris is on an average, sixty feet deep where the largest of the cities stood.
"Most remarkable of the minor finds that have been made at Paredon is that of the remains of elephants. Never before in the history of Mexico has it been ascertained positively that elephants were ever in the service of the ancient inhabitants. The remains of the elephants that have been found in Paredon show plainly that the inhabitants of the buried cities made elephants work for them. Elephants were as much in evidence in cities as horses. Upon many of the tusks that have been found were rings of silver. Most of the tusks encountered so far have an average length for grown elephants, of three feet, and an average diameter at the roots of six inches. Judging from the remains of the elephants so far unearthed, the animals were about ten feet in height and sixteen to eighteen feet in length, differing very little from those at present in existence. ( Elephant Remains In Mexico; American Antiquarian, 25:395-397, 1903)
In 1929 the skeleton of a mastodon was found in Ecuador. Evidently killed by Indians, a circle of fires had been built around the body for convenient roasting of the flesh. A landslide covered the site, which also included broken painted pottery and artifacts. This remarkable find was dated at the beginning of the Christian era (Scott, 1962, p.261).
In 1928 a Mayan workshop was uncovered in Central America. The archaeologist concluded that the owner of the shop, dated from the second to the fourth century A.D., must have kept a mastodon, for the bones of the animal were found among smashed bowls and jars (Wendt, 1956, p.524-525).
One paleontologist believed that mammoths still lived in the interior of the American continent at the time of the first Spanish explorers. He supported his belief by the fact that such bones are found under a few inches of peat. Many accurate descriptions of the elephant have been collected from various Indian tribes in America and Canada (Scientific Monthly, 75 [Oct. 1952], 215-221).
Even as late as 1560 "the Italian cartographer Paula de Furlani drew a map, which is preserved in the British Museum, depicting elephants in the region of the Mississippi Valley.... On the way to the New World, Columbus stopped at the Canary Islands and observed: 'Other Canarieans also inhabit the wild regions extending from Mount Atlas through the sands of Lybia, places covered with black dust and filled with serpents and elephants'" (Cheesman, 1984, 55).
Johnson goes on to explain that "There can no longer be any doubt that man and elephant coexisted in America.... Probably it is safe to say that American Proboscidea have been extinct for a minimum of 3000 years" (Johnson, 2). If the elephants had died off at least 3000 years ago, they would still have been well within range of the Jaredite era. And as noted above, some evidence indicates that the elephant may have survived in limited numbers for centuries later.

Root cells need, like other plant cells, oxygen.
For that your bonsai soil should be well-drained and should have sufficiently large drainage holes in the bottom of the bonsai pot.
Especially with large drainage holes the substrate trickles after repotting from the drainage holes. Therefore, these openings are covered with plastic grids.
How to do that ? Quite simply. Just follow this step by step guide:
It should be slightly larger than the drainage hole of the bonsai pot.

TSU will play in the CIT for the second time in as many seasons. The Tigers fell to the Mercer Bears last year in the tournament's opening round.
The Tigers are coming off of an 18-14 campaign in which they recorded back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 16 years. The club also set a school record with an 11-2 mark in the Gentry Center.
In TSU's last game, Belmont ended the Tigers' hopes of an OVC Championship by winning, 82-73 on March 8.
Kellen Thornton paced TSU with his ninth double-double of the season, scoring a team-high 22 points and a game-high 12 boards. His performance earned him All-OVC Tournament honors.
Also recording a double-double was Patrick Miller who poured in 17 points on 6-of-13 shooting and 12 assists.
With his 12 dimes, Miller tied Kareem Gilbert's school-record for assists in a season with 191. He also set a TSU modern-era record by playing 1148 minutes on the year.
Senior Robert Covington had another solid game for TSU, dropping 16 points and securing six boards. The forward is averaging a team-best 17 points and is seventh in school history in both points and rebounds.
For the Purple Aces, they come into Tuesday's game much like TSU- with an identical 18-14 record. Evansville is also 14-3 at home.
UE is led by Colt Ryan who averages a team-best 19.6 points per game and his 587 points are the second-most in the Missouri Valley Conference. Ryan is also an able passer and is fourth in the league in assists per contest at 4.0.
Ryan's play has allowed the Aces to move into second place in the MVC in assists (504) and lead the conference in turnover margin (+3.3).
Evansville has won four of its last five games and TSU is 1-1 against EU all-time. The Tigers dominated the last meeting, 101-78, in 2001. Current TSU grad assistant Josh Cooperwood led Tennessee State in the game by pouring in 20 points.
TSU is 0-3 all-time in postseason games since joining Division I.

With its 50th edition about to hit the streets, the NEC has now seen more revisions than a lot of electrical industry professionals have celebrated birthdays, but it's no less revered or relevant than when it was first published more than 100 years ago. From its humble beginnings in 1897, to becoming the go-to guide for safe electrical installations, the Code has taken on a "higher" significance and developed an almost religious following. Electrical designers, construction personnel, maintenance technicians, and electrical inspectors track its every move and study its nuances ad infinitum. It's as if this material object has some type of attractive power that draws people in and converts them into lifelong acolytes.
And if you need proof, just look around at your colleagues. EC&M readers are as committed as anyone in the industry. I see this each and every time I review the independent reader research data supplied to me by our marketing department. For instance, take a look at some key statistics from our recent research reports.
73% read the August and September Code Quandaries department
72% read the July Code Basics article, "Don't Get Your Signals Crossed When Installing Radio and TV Equipment"
78% subscribe to CodeWatch, EC&M's e-newsletter on the Code
74% read the June Code Violations article, "What's Wrong Here?"
80% read the April Code Quandaries department
4.8 out of 5.0 was the importance rating assigned to the Code by EC&M readers
But it's more than just the numbers. When we asked you what you want to see discussed in the magazine in greater detail, these were just a few of the many Code-related suggestions you gave us:
"Code issues involving UPSs and gen-sets"
"Electrical design and how the NEC applies"
"Expanded viewpoints of NEC code selections"
"NEC changes for present Code throughout the three-year cycle, as well as up-and-coming Code changes slated for the new Code series"
So as not to disappoint you or keep you from work as a Code disciple, this month's cover story, written by NEC consultant Mike Holt, presents the Top 25 need-to-know revisions of the 2005 NEC (page 44). From added requirements for GFCIs and revised rules for AFCIs to clarified definitions and intent of grounding and bonding requirements, we've got you covered.
In an industry where safety requirements constantly evolve, the measure of its standards is how well they adapt to members' needs. And the true measure of its members is how well they educate themselves on those evolving standards. If you don't choose to get your Code change information from EC&M, get it somewhere. We need as many informed — and safe — installers who worship in the church of the Code as we can get.

Virtualization on Linux
It's the best way to run multiple operating systems at same time on your running operating system, in this article I will talk linux virtualization only, but some of these application I will mention works on many operating systems such as "Linux, Macintosh,Windows, …"
Virtualization not just for these operating systems only, also virtualization works on mobile and pocket PCs and I will talk about that on other article.
- Why I want to use virtual machines ?
It's a really good way run multiple operating system at same time, I use it a lot to try new distributions release like this one I reviewed for ubuntu 10.04 alpha 3 Lucid I was using sun virtual box.
Some users want to use Windows and any linux distribution on same time, not for testing, with complete installation on virtual machine.
Used to use sun virtualbox, KVM, and Virtual machine manager.
1. Sun Virtual Box
VirtualBox is a powerful x86 and AMD64/Intel64 virtualization product for enterprise as well as home use. Not only is VirtualBox an extremely feature rich, high performance product for enterprise customers, it is also the only professional solution that is freely available as Open Source Software under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). See "About VirtualBox" for an introduction.
2. VMWare including "VMware server and player"
VMWare is a commercial virtualization platform that currently offers two free products: VMWare Player and VMWare Server (the latter with a free renewable yearly license). VMWare Player can play virtual appliances that have already been created, whereas VMWare Server (which has a broader range of features) allows the creation of virtual machines. In general, VMWare Server is recommended unless you only need to play an appliance. (Appliances will also run in VMWare Server). Users that wish to run servers (or processes) that need to be available to a network from within the virtual machine should use VMServer. If you wish to install a new OS within a virtual machine (other than in an appliance), you will need VMWare Server.
KVM (for Kernel-based Virtual Machine) is a full virtualization solution for Linux on x86 hardware containing virtualization extensions (Intel VT or AMD-V). It consists of a loadable kernel module, kvm.ko, that provides the core virtualization infrastructure and a processor specific module, kvm-intel.ko or kvm-amd.ko. KVM also requires a modified QEMU although work is underway to get the required changes upstream.
4. Xen
The Xen® hypervisor, the powerful open source industry standard for virtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set for virtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. It supports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows®, Linux®, Solaris®, and various versions of the BSD operating systems. More
QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.
When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86, server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.
6. Virtual machine manager
The "Virtual Machine Manager" application (virt-manager for short package name) is a desktop user interface for managing virtual machines. It presents a summary view of running domains, their live performance & resource utilization statistics. The detailed view graphs performance & utilization over time. Wizards enable the creation of new domains, and configuration & adjustment of a domain's resource allocation & virtual hardware. An embedded VNC client viewer presents a full graphical console to the guest domain.

You maybe have heard of "some dude" who created "injectFXAA" to inject antialiasing into games.
I was wondering whether it is possible to inject SMAA (subpixel morphological antialiasing) in the same way. Apparently - it is.
To be honest, the hardest part was to find "some dude" and get his source code. Some parts had to be changed and it seems to work quite well with SMAA. I even managed to get rid of "pDevice->CreateDeferredContext failed" in Unigine Heaven 2.5.
Maybe the changes introduced incompatibilities with "injectFXAA"-compatible games.
Lets see how this little project evolves.

Mango Salad with Black Beans, Avocado, Mint, and Chile-Lime Vinaigrette
Slice the mint leaves into thin chiffonade pieces.
Gently mix the chopped onion and sliced mint pieces into the salad mixture.
Mango Salad with Black Beans, Avocado, Mint, and Chile-Lime Vinaigrette
(Makes about 4 servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
1 can black beans, rinsed well and drained
1 avocado, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces
1 mango, peeled and diced into 1 inch pieces
2 T minced red onion (can also use shallots or sliced green onion)
1/4 cup thinly sliced mint leaves (you could use cilantro if you don't have mint)
1 T + 1 T fresh-squeezed lime juice
1 tsp. white balsamic vinegar (or rice vinegar)
1/4 tsp. ground cumin
1/4 tsp. chile powder (chile powder is a blend of mild chiles, but any mild ground chile will work)
salt to taste (I used just a pinch of salt)
2 T good-quality olive oil
Peel the avocado and dice into 1 inch pieces, then put in plastic bowl. Toss avocado with 1 T fresh-squeezed lime juice.
Peel and cut up the mango and dice into 1 inch pieces. Add mangoes to the bowl with the avocado. Add drained black beans and stir very gently to combine. (Don't stir too much or the avocado will get mashed on to the other ingredients.)
Chop red onion into small dice. Wash mint (or cilantro) leaves and spin dry with salad spinner or dry with paper towels. Slice mint leaves into thin slices until you have 1/4 cup (or chop the leaves if using cilantro.) Gently stir the chopped red onion and mint or cilantro into the salad mixture.
In a small dish, stir together the 1 T lime juice, white balsamic vinegar (or rice vinegar), ground cumin, chile powder, and salt to taste. Whisk in the olive oil, one tablespoon at a time. Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently stir to combine.
This salad will keep for a few hours at room temperature, but it's best served the day you make it.

Blanca Pradenas needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 55 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Pradenas Consulting
Human Resources Consultant. I love this work. I work closely with CEO's/President's helping to set the foundation of their company's personnel policies and procedures. I do recruiting, employee recognition, HR policies and procedures, employee handbook, employee relations, compensation plans, immigration, benefits, payroll and executive coaching. I want to come across as professional but at the same time alive and energetic.
I would like a card I'm proud to hand out. Primarily will hand out to presidents (movers and shakers) of hi-tech start-ups in silicon valley, Calif. These are out of the box thinkers, but at the same time they want someone they can rely on to get the job done correctly and quickly.
I would like my business name Pradenas Consulting, as well as my name Blanca Pradenas, cell phone number 650 773-0777; office number 408 261-1704 and email email@example.com on the front of the card.
I am not artistic and have been struggling with a logo design for quite awhile. My favorite flower is the daisy. If that can be incorporated in the design and still look professional (not pre-school) that would be great. Maybe a watermark in the background?

Ever urgent as the clock ran down, Barack Obama's and Mitt Romney's teams pressed voters to get to the polls while thousands who were already there waited in long lines for their final chance to avoid the Election Day crush.
"I thought I'd come today to beat the rush tomorrow," 24-year-old Britnee Luke, a Romney supporter from Columbus, Ohio, said Monday in a line where she had stood for more than an hour Monday morning. "Oh, well."
That line - more than 1,000 murmuring voters winding in a maze through a former department store on Columbus' west side - was just one of the many scenes where some of the 2012 presidential campaign's final acts were playing out across the country.
For a race viewed as neck-and-neck nationally, that transition from a focus on early votes to the arduous final task of mobilizing millions for Election Day is meaningful. Although the campaigns have prepared for both phases of voting, Obama is viewed as having the early-vote edge overall while Romney's team is confident it will receive more Election Day votes.
Ohio is a particularly pivotal state for both candidates. Virginia, Florida and Iowa are crucial, too, and volunteers scoured neighborhoods and looked for stragglers they might convert.
The lines in the former Kohl's store moved at a healthy clip, although most voters who arrived by 9 a.m. EST didn't walk out into the traffic-snarled parking lot for at least an hour. John Laudeman shuffled along, looking up at the ceiling in boredom: "I'm trying not to think about it."
While it was all business in Columbus, in Cleveland the atmosphere was festive.
Music blared across the street from the county elections board office. Hot dog vendors, campaign button sellers, even the Rev. Jesse Jackson sought to woo the crowd. The line curled around the corner until the early voting deadline arrived at 2 p.m., when security turned away latecomers.
DeVonte Anthony, a student at Cuyahoga Community College and an Obama backer, fought the traffic and a snarled parking lot near the elections board to vote early with five family members. "We all came out today so we don't have to wait in line tomorrow."
More than 30 million people had already voted in 34 states and the District of Columbia, either by mail or in person.
Both candidates were staging last-minute events in Ohio, urging voters in person - and in Obama's case, with rocker Bruce Springsteen - to vote.
Elsewhere Obama was working to turn out African-American voters with actor Samuel L. Jackson and comedian Chris Rock doing interviews on radio stations.
But much of the real work was being done elsewhere, and with far less fanfare.
Kim Williams and Kristi Layer were among about 30 volunteers at a Republican phone bank in north Columbus leaving messages on home voicemails to encourage people to vote Tuesday.
"This is the first election I've felt it's so important for me to do something besides vote," said Layer, a mother of two who owns a residential construction contracting company with her husband. "I'm panicked."
A few miles away, Artie Rothenberg and Yonas Asfaw were heading out of the Obama campaign office on the edge of the Ohio State University campus, arms laden with information packets and leaflets designed to hang on doorknobs. Rothenberg, an OSU graduate student, voted last week and had the time to volunteer.
Asfaw, though, had driven eight hours from New York to volunteer in Ohio for Obama. "He needs my help more in Ohio than he does in New York," he said.
More than 700 miles away, in Enfield, N.H., Obama volunteer Sarah Ayres nervously drove down a dirt road, unsure if she would find the house on her list.
"There were no people home," she reported later. "But the goat was there. So I don't know if I should count that."
Scott Giesecke was in Romney's Bedford, N.H., office by 9 a.m. for another shift of phone calls, as he's done for months. By 10 a.m. the place was hopping with volunteers.
Giesecke said people have become numbed to the intrusion. "They've just been hammered," the Manchester Republican said.
No one had slammed a door in his face during weeks of door-knocking. "You have the occasional hang-up with people who are frustrated ... but you can't take it personally."
While volunteers practiced patience and manners, frustration with the long, negative campaign bubbled near the surface in some voting lines.
"There's been a level of intrusiveness in this election that is unprecedented, so I think we are all kind of dismayed about that and wanting that to be over," said Barb Jones, voting early in Milwaukee.
Obama, Romney and allied groups have spent more than $1 billion on television advertising since June, primarily in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
In St. Petersburg, Fla., Sheila Harris was eager to cast her ballot to finally end the campaign. "I'm sick of all the negative stuff," she said. "I'm sick of the big, glossy fliers. And the phone calls - I'm sick of the phone calls."
At that moment, a local candidate who was campaigning for last-minute votes nearby handed Harris one of his fliers.
But the last grueling days of the campaign were also stoking the emotions of its footsoldiers. Iowa Democratic Party Chairwoman Sue Dvorsky started weeping Monday as she entered the Iowa City home of Rod Sullivan, a longtime friend and Obama volunteer.
"This is more than an election for us," Dvorsky said. "This is a very personal matter. We really have all been together in this."
Associated Press writers Holly Ramer in New Hampshire, Ryan J. Foley in Iowa, Tamara Lush in Florida, Carrie Antlfinger in Wisconsin and Thomas J. Sheeran in Cleveland contributed to this report.

Additional grant funding significantly lowers total cost
Williams & Works out of Grand Rapids will be heading the engineering details for the 2.2-mile stretch of trails through the city of Belding that are expected to be completed by summer of 2014.
Belding City Council members approved a motion to accept the company's bid of $72,000 at Tuesday's meeting with a 4-1 vote. Council member Joe Feuerstein was opposed.
The second bid, which council members rejected, was $43,000 from Fleis & Vandenbrink Engineering. The city has used the company in the past, but council members Mike Scheid and mayor protem Andrea Belding said there were a number of negative issues that had to be dealt with at the time.
During proposal discussion, Belding City Grant Writer Julianne Burns said Williams & Works have been involved in the Rails to Trails project throughout the region since 2008, it performed original surveys and worked with community groups, has been an advocate and has the greatest knowledge of the project in other parts of Ionia County. The company also has been endorsed by other groups, she added.
David Austin from Williams & Works addressed the council, and said the reason the bid is higher is due to payment of consulting engineers, the level of service the company will provide, behind-the-scenes work, administrative work and the additional effort they are prepared to take to make the trails strong and aesthetically pleasing. Austin added the company is planning on emphasizing the bridge crossings and making sure erosion problems are corrected and creating them to be more structurally sound.
Austin said thanks to additional grant funding from the Michigan Department of Transportation, the funds that have to be collected by the local community dropped from about $500,000 to $100,000.
Scheid said he liked seeing more detailed work in the packet from Williams & Works compared to Fleis & Vandenbrink Engineering, and is also happy to see the city's contribution of $25,000 will not change.
In public comments, Lynn Mason said Austin has been present at all meetings regarding the trails, has the experience and understanding of the project to make the it the best it can be. In regards to the other bid, she said cheaper is not always better.
Local citizen Jeff Hunter also voiced his opinion, saying the vagueness of the Fleis & Vandenbrink Engineering can be unsafe for the city, as extra costs could be added during the project's construction.
After the approval, Belding Mayor Ron Gunderson said he is pleased to have an offer for the trails and believes the corridor will have a low maintenance cost because of the attention dedicated by Williams & Works.

Fit Kidnections
I am an elementary teacher and certified personal trainer who wants to help fight childhood obesity. I am a very passionate person about healthy living. I was a very overweight person who lost 138lbs and have regained my life back. I want to reach kids before they get to that point of wanting to give up on their health.
Our children's gym will be taking up half of an exercise studio (other half is for adults) and will host P.E. classes for homeschoolers, physical activity for toddlers and preschoolers, and after school activities for elementary and middle schoolers that will include structured play. We will have a variety of programs with small groups of 3-5, larger groups of up to 20, as well as individual personal training for kids up to age 18. Our goal is to get kids to enjoy being active. We will also have a nutritional component.
Our mission statement is: To provide a haven for kids of all ages to engage in a stimulating mix of activities that build strong bodies, promote an appreciation for healthy living and foster confidence and self esteem.
Our tag line is "Connecting kids and their families to a lifestyle of healthy habits"
A new market in our area for kids 2-18. Some will be working out with me while their parents work out on the adult side of the gym. We are also targeting homeschoolers for a daytime P.E. class, and afterschool kids who need activity (could already be active and healthy or might be overweight) and probably not involved with team sports.
Our programs do not involve competitive sports
The logo would be displayed on building signs, business cards, stationery, website, t-shirts, water bottles and advertising in magazines and newspapers.
Want a 3 color logo in as many digital formats as possible
Different digital formats (vector, JPEG, etc.); not sure exactly what types of formats I need but wanted to make sure that I will be able to display the logo on the following: building signs, business cards, stationery, brochures, Word/Publisher documents and the like, website, t-shirts, water bottles, and advertising in magazines and newspapers.
A logo that would incorporate the business name - Fit Kidnections
Would also want a logo that could stand alone without the business name
Logo could have activity as well as nutrition representation within the logo
Logo could empahsize the "connection" between kids and exercise & nutrition
Would like an emphasis on the Fit Kid part of Fit Kidnections
I don't have any preconceived ideas about what the logo should look like. I just really want it to capture the attention of kids of all ages and entice kids to want to be at the gym and want to hang out there (I want to transform kids into gym rats). The challenge is to have a logo that is appealing to 8 year olds or 18 year olds. Really want something that pops.
I don't want it to have a representation of a team sport (football, basketball, soccer, etc.)

Sound — it shapes how people perceive the world, and plays a vital role in communications and education. Schools depend on designers and architects to understand the science of sound — acoustics — and to do a good job of managing sound within a structure. But today's world and the structures being built can make this task challenging.
Background noise
Background noise is one obstacle affecting acoustics. It can come from a variety of sources inside and outside a space. Even a vacant building is not silent. Computers, copiers, lights, vending machines and refrigerators contribute noise. The noisiest offender often is heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment.
The HVAC system's effect on a building's acoustics may be overlooked during design because the systems are already a significant building cost, and schools are reluctant to direct higher percentages of budgets away from areas that do not benefit student learning directly. A silent HVAC system can be designed, but it is an intentional design. Silencing the system involves specially insulated equipment, heavier units to deaden fan noise and larger ductwork to permit the easier flow of air.
Activities in adjacent spaces also can contribute to background noise: exterior sources such as nearby roads, railroads or industries, and internal sources such as other classrooms, band rooms and offices.
The big space challenge
In addition to managing background noise, acoustic designers must consider another key contributor to the acoustics challenge: reverberation. Reverberation is the time it takes for sound to fade or decay in a space. Large rooms where people congregate present a considerable acoustic challenge.
A typical college student center has dining and food-preparation areas, as well as general space where students congregate, so there's a lot of noise generated by both people and machinery. In a space like this, sound-absorbing material is important with consideration to maintaining the space's aesthetics and durability. Sound-absorbing materials often are part of the decor of the space, adding colors and textures to create inviting spaces.
It's also important to look at sound transmission with regard to adjacent spaces. For example, offices that are near large, open spaces not only have to be protected from unwanted sound entering, but also must keep sound — and private conversations — from escaping.
Sound transmission across these boundaries must be controlled through proper construction of the walls and openings. Walls should be extended to, and sealed to, the structural deck, and insulation placed in the ceilings. Staggering studs and the use of sound-attenuating insulation also will help block sound. When special attention is paid to walls and ceilings, then doors, windows and electrical outlets often become the weakest elements through which sound will still pass. The careful arrangement of these elements in a space plan, such as staggering door openings in a hallway, isolating noisy spaces such as gymnasiums, and ensuring that electrical outlets are not placed back-to-back, can help. Uniform building code (UBC) requirements may not be adequate to block sound — or optimize acoustics — in any space. If blocking sound is a key concern, consider the need for all materials in a space to carry a high sound transmission class (STC) rating, or insulation quality.
Often, large spaces have conflicting acoustical needs. A chapel or performance hall, especially where there will be classical music, needs a "live" acoustical quality. That means the room must be designed so sound can reverberate. However, reverberation can interfere with speech intelligibility — long reverberation times can cause a speaker's words to be muffled, so that one word cannot be distinguished from another. An ideal space for speech has low reverberation, called "dead" or "dry."
Reconciling these acoustical opposites often is done with sophisticated sound systems. A space designed as a live space can incorporate a well-designed sound system to create the sound clarity needed for quiet events or speeches. Because the number of attendees also can affect acoustics, consider using absorptive seating to maintain a consistent acoustical environment.
School gymnasiums usually are large, rectangular boxes with hard-surface walls, floors and ceilings. The elements make a highly reverberant space where teachers can have a difficult time making themselves heard — even when students are paying attention.
The most common solution is to add sound-absorbing material to the space, like acoustical block for walls or a layer of sound-absorbing panels over hard walls. Sound-absorbing materials installed on non-parallel surfaces will lower reverberation and make a space quieter. For good speech intelligibility in these larger rooms, sound designers will recommend installing a wall absorber with high sound absorption on the rear wall. Also popular is acoustical decking, which is a type of under-ceiling with perforations and sound-absorbing material. Selecting durable acoustic materials that will withstand the impact of kicked and thrown balls is a key consideration for multipurpose rooms used for sports.
First things first
Mistakes with a room's acoustics happen when a facility's design does not account properly for the acoustics. Sound-design experts start by thinking about the acoustics of a space before any lines are drawn on paper. They consider the intended use of each room or area, and determine an acceptable reverberation time and design. This information is shared with the building designers to create the design of individual rooms, as well as where each room should be situated within the facility.
Even spaces with similar uses may need different reverberation times and different materials to handle the sound. For example, band rooms and choral rooms sometimes are given the same acoustical treatment, but this may lead to problems with volume and speech intelligibility.
Multipurpose rooms are an economic reality in many schools. The best approach is to determine the most common use and to design the reverberation time for those needs. Most often, the need for quality, intelligible sound for instruction is paramount, so here the multipurpose spaces may be designed as "dead" spaces, and hard surfaces can be brought in when a higher reverberation is required.
Although cost containment is a reality in building projects, skimping on acoustics almost always costs more in the long term. Spaces that are not designed properly for their uses may be retrofitted; however, the cost to do so often is higher, and the results rarely are what they could have been if accommodated for during design. An acoustic treatment may be suitable for the present application, but the constantly changing uses in a facility can quickly change the picture.

It's just conjecture, but an early recreational fishing season seems possible given a number of signs, including the recent discovery by commercial draggers of a sizable number of porgies in 26 fathoms of water, relatively close to shore. The question is, will the fish arrive early, or did they never leave?
Steven Forsberg of the Viking fleet of party boats in Montauk reasoned that the scup (porgies) never went offshore. "They never went anywhere," he said. If the porgies have stayed around in ocean water that has remained much warmer than usual, prey species have as well.
Ken Reney of the Seafood Shop in Wainscott said on Tuesday he expected his first shipment of shad roe the following day, a bit early.
Unfortunately, the shop will carry the roe but not the delicious fish itself. Shad have an unusual array of side bones and are extremely difficult to cut. There is a special process requiring a complete knowledge of shad anatomy as well as the hands of a surgeon. Eric Krom, the shop's longtime cutter, had such knowledge and hands — the one that held the fish was girded in stainless steel chain mail. He was "a masterpiece," Mr. Reney said, but he's moved to Wyoming. He might be filleting trout from the Snake River.
The point is, the shad run has begun up and down the coast, as has the annual flight, from estuary to sea, of other herring species including alewives, the local favorite. Fly fishermen have begun to target them in recent years. And, there are other signs.
In early February small gulls were seen picking tiny shrimp or the like from the surface, and large schools of dolphin were seen cruising along the south shore. No surprise that ospreys have been spotted. The sea hawks are fishing already.
The food chain is in gear and the arrival of striped bass, bluefish, and bluefin tuna might be close at hand because they never went very far.
Meanwhile, codfishing, which was lean this winter as a function of warmer ocean temperatures, has improved of late.
"It's back to reality, the way it was for the last 25 years. The last three years was exceptionally good, overwhelmingly good. This year it's back to normal. We had 25 guys out on Feb. 23. They had 85 cod, and about the same number of ling. They were real quality fish, a lot of gaffers," Captain Forsberg said, using boat lingo for fish big enough to require the help of a mate wielding a gaff to bring them over the rail.
Captain Forsberg said, "Everything is running six weeks behind for all fisheries," by which he meant that cod seemed to have kept a late-fall, early-winter mind-set as they did three years ago. "If we go back three years, we didn't catch anything in January and February. They showed up in March and we had another six weeks of good cod fishing."

text: Thursday, October 13, 2011 New in the Literature: Heel-raise Training (J Strength Cond Res. 2011;25:2605-2015.) Heel-raise training in elderly women can increase soleus thickness within the triceps surae and improve postural control modality and stability that are effectively contributed to by leg muscle, say authors of an article published in Journal of Strength Conditioning Research. This training consists of a low-intensity exercise that requires neither special machines nor a specific environment and can be performed safely for all elderly populations, they add. For this study, researchers assigned 26 elderly women evenly into training and control groups. Participants in the training group performed 100 heel raises per day for 2 months. The training was aimed at hypertrophy of the soleus muscle, which has a relatively high proportion (ca 90%) of slow-twitch muscle fibers and is 1 of the main postural muscles. Dynamic balance was measured while arm flexion was performed in response to a visual stimulus (simple-reaction condition) or at the participant's own pace (own-timing condition). Plantar flexion strength, thicknesses of the gastrocnemius and soleus (by ultrasound), reaction time of the anterior deltoid in the simple-reaction condition, activation onset timing of postural muscles with respect to the deltoid, movement angles of ankle and hip joints, and postural fluctuation were compared before and after the training period. In the training group only, the following training-related effects were demonstrated: (a) increase in plantar flexor strength and thickness of the soleus; (b) shortening of the deltoid reaction time; (c) earlier activation of the erector spinae in the simple-reaction condition and the soleus in the own-timing condition; and (d) increase in ankle movement in the own-timing condition and a decrease in postural fluctuation. Comments that was a great article and i really enjoy doing the exercises. thanks again. Posted by maryam adabi on 11/1/2011 11:05 PM

I was going to say that it makes the Old Quarter look like a toxic waste dump.
But then I didn't.
I was gonna say it'd be nice to see some screenshots, and then there they are!
May I suggest though, that some screenshots are posted on the first post of the thread for easy viewing?
Pretty nice textures Gecko, though for me they feel a little.. I don't know, like they don't gel too well together. The contrast between each texture feels a bit much. Hard to describe, I'm not sure I explained that really well, sorry. Also don't take that the wrong way, just trying to give constructive criticism.
I really like the mossy floor texture, however I noticed in screen3 most specifically that the moss is noticeably repeated when tiled. Perhaps you could go back and tweak the moss on the texture a bit so it doesn't look as repeated when tiled? (Does anyone else see what I mean by that?)
I was going to say that it makes the Old Quarter look like a toxic waste dump.
But then I didn't.
Nice troll there. I'd love to say more about your post but I don't want to derail this thread any further with pointless argument.
Oh YOU.
For some reason I cant download the pack from clearings mirror?
edudrekibI think not all objects! But many of them. new ai textures aren't easy I think. But I will try it! More screenshots soon thanks for all critic!Can I also ask if you are updating all the textures for the Ai & all other objects in the game as well..?
Well thank you very much!
I got it, but damn me if as usual I cant get the damn thing to work. Has anyone posting in this thread actually tried it, or know of anyone who has? Looking at screenshots is one thing but playing it in game could be different. I want to try! A big problem I have had with these types of things is that there is rarely a complete walkthrough in "plain english" that explains step by step how to do everything. I still play on my 98 system with classic crt. lol Ah, but oh well, Ide rather live in 2001 than 2012. My point, is that I have never had any imminent inclination to ever try ddfix. I think that is needed here. I tried to do the ddfix thing, but nothing I do works, because I am almost certain that there are lots of little steps that I just am completely unaware of. ddifx, for example. The version I ended up downloading, when unzipped, called for a file that wasnt present in the zip. Story of my life. Thank you for your time, Taffers.
The file, I assume you are referring to, is the msvcrt.dll or whatever it's called. That means you need to download Microsoft's .NET package if I recall correctly. And I think it's 2.0 but I could be wrong? Anybody out there can confirm this?
If you are on 98, I don't see any need to use ddfix unless of course the game is not working out-of-the-box as it were. The whole point of ddfix is to patch the game for modern hardware, although I guess one of the good benefits of using ddfix is that you can take screenshots in a different format and can play in 32-bit rendering, etc.
I haven't tried this yet, but if you look back a few posts you can see that you aren't the only one who is having a problem with this.
XX Manual version:
Extract ddfix.dll and ddfix.ini to the same directory as thief2.exe
Open thief2.exe in a hex editor, locate the first instance of 'DDRAW.DLL' and change it to read 'DDFIX.DLL'. (This is at offset 0x27996C in my version of thief, but may vary)
open ddfix.ini and change the screen resolution there to match what you want to use in game. (Using your desktop resolution is recommended, but anything will do as long as it's 800x600 or above.) If required, you can also turn on the duel core and video fixes here.
Open cam.cfg and edit the game_screen_size line to match the resolution set in ddfix.ini
XX GUI version:
Extract ddfixGUI.exe, ddfixGUI.dll, ddfix.dll and ddfix.ini to the same directory as thief2.exe. Run ddfixGUI.exe, click 'apply patch' and choose the resolution you want.
On windows vista, the GUI must be started with admin rights to avoid issues when trying to patch thief2.exe. (Use '-noadmincheck' as a command line argument to disable this check.)
You can use '-createdefaultini' to replace ddfix.ini with an unedited original copy. (This will also be done automatically if ddfix.ini doesn't exist.)/readme
I went for the GUI one, but my extracted folder doesnt have the ddfixGUI.exe file. So to my horror, I gave up right there!
Oh, ddfixgui.exe. I just recently uploaded a copy of ddfix 1.3.11 that includes that, here.
It's not really required, you can easily do the manual install of ddfix but if you really want ddfixgui, well I've now given you the link for it.
Thank you sNeaksie. Now when I run the ddfixGUI.exe, I get the damn error message:
The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135).
Keep in mind that not only do I still use Win98, but the computer itself is from around 2001. Not only that, but its a cheapo that I built. It runs all my favorites nice enough. Dont laugh now...
Intel Pentium 4 - 2.40 GHz
504 MB Ram
Onboard Video
I also put WinXP Professional on a partition to get this guys patch to work. Wait... is this pack gonna bring my computer to a crawl? lol
Microsoft's .Net framework 2.0 is needed to run ddfixgui.exe, check to make sure you have that.. Could be why it's not working but I'm not sure. May just be that it doesnt work on windows 98. If you don't want to mess with ddfixgui then just do the "manual version" method as you posted above.

As a UT level designer I can really appreciate all the work here, I know it makes some serious changes but HOW COOL! and thank you for your hard work.
Still, the limits of simply replacing the textures are obvious. How feasible is the idea of reworking the actual maps and their use of textures, tiling etc.? I don't want to dive into the legal issues, just know if something could be done about it.
And i spend hours and days to make the new textures fit. The Brightness of the texture is so important for the whole atmosphere! I use Photoshop for it...
I have so often replaced my first texture by a new one because I thought it´s a better one and more matched too the mission...
Everyday I learn something new when i work with textures.
In recent days I've taught myself how to edit normal textures to use it for "tilling"...
That's great! now i can use a much higher resolution and all the textures which are not "tiled".
Very nice work, many thanks!!
The textures flicker enormously. Is there a way to fix this?
I have enabled all possible quality settings in the Nvidia control center - but it did not change anything.
Anyway good job.
As for getting ddfix to work on win98, forget it. The api's that it depends on either don't exist for 98, or they are hopelessly outdated.
Quit good! But I'am sure, we'll need DDFix for a while, also for transponding into 2013. Don't think about http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=_sUeGC-8dyk. Gecko still works around it and it 'll fresh a couple of new experiences for the Gold-Empire. Win98 should be ever mentioned, too, because it doesn't need so much power. We will remember this at time....f*** my english knowglege.The original game doesn't support any modern texture file formats

Long a Marxist and briefly a feminist, Betsey converted to Catholicism in 1994 and became an exceptionally strong voice for the culture of life and the rights of the unborn. A Harvard-trained historian and acclaimed teacher, she wrote extensively on literature, religion, politics, education, and related subjects. Her numerous books and articles on French history, the American South, and women's history, literature, and politics provoked extensive discussion, winning her an appreciative national audience — and subjecting her to bitter and increasingly vicious hostility. When she died in January 2007 at age sixty-five, she was Eléanore Raoul Professor of the Humanities at Emory University, where she had founded the Women's Studies Program and trained a record number of Ph.D.s in several departments.In Miss Betsey, Eugene Genovese — Betsey's husband of thirty-seven years and an equally accomplished scholar — movingly tells the story of their courtship, life together, and professional and political collaboration. Betsey is shown to have been a woman of uncommon strength of character who refused to feel sorry for herself in the face of lifelong illnesses. Even in her last dozen years, crippled and wracked by constant pain, she devoted herself to her husband, students, many friends—and God. Eugene Genovese confesses that "time does not heal all things," but he also affirms that is was on the day of his "improbable blind date" with Elizabeth Fox that "the Holy Ghost pronounced my sinful soul worth saving."

|What They're Saying...
"Gene Genovese's tribute to his late wife moved me deeply not only because of the touching beauty of his prose but also because he and Betsey are figures who shaped my life. It is impossible for me to read this work without recalling my first meeting with this remarkable couple many decades ago and about how deeply they impressed me even then. Gene's recollections about Betsey ring true even for someone like me, who was merely her distant admirer. Like her husband, she had many such devotees, all of whom she fully deserved."
"Eugene Genovese has written a beautiful memoir of the life of his late wife Betsey Fox-Genovese and has given a compelling portrait of the strong tie of marriage between two renowned historians—the son of a Sicilian American worker and the daughter of a university professor from an old American family. We see Betsey as a young Marxist professor demanding fair treatment for striking service workers at her university and Betsey as a mature and deeply spiritual Catholic, assisting the priest in administering Communion. We see her as an influential scholar, a contentious political writer, and devoted teacher, reading a student's doctoral dissertation in the pain of her last days. Passionate, partisan, humorous, and self-mocking, Eugene Genovese's book is a paean of love for a remarkable woman."
"In this beautifully written memoir of a marriage, Eugene Genovese captures his beloved wife for all those who knew her and, as well, those who did not but here discover her for the first time. We see the devoted and witty wife; the brilliant scholar; the dedicated teacher; and, finally, the unbeliever whose spiritual journey led her home to Catholicism. The seriousness of that journey is a wonder to behold as one contrasts it to the superficial features of our age."
"Gene Genovese's beautiful evocation of life with his beloved Betsey is the quintessential labor of love. In it and through it, we see what the marriage of true minds looks like. For them, it meant sharing extraordinary joys and griefs, amused forbearance in small things and passionate unity in large ones, always sustained by the sheer irreplaceable pleasure of one another's conversation and company. Their improbable tale will make you laugh and weep, often at the same time. But above all it will remind you that an intense and exhilarating love that lasts a lifetime, and more, is no sentimental myth."
"We hear a lot of grim reports about marriage these days, and a lot of vapid cheerleading. This memoir is neither, and it brings good news. It would make a fine gift for a bookish young couple just starting a lifetime together, or an old pair looking back with gratitude."
"Genovese's book takes a measured look at academia---that wondrous world of flexible schedules, professional autonomy, travel opportunities, job security, innumeralbe perks, and prestige---instructive to individuals distanced from the ivory tower."

A Troy police officer about to be arrested for drunken driving broke down several times.
But Candace LaForest, 34, who is scheduled to appear in court Tuesday, would not be given special treatment during her arrest, colleagues told her, according to a detailed report from 10 officers that assisted with the case.
Free on a personal $1,000 bond, she is charged with operating with a high blood-alcohol content, a misdemeanor that carries up to a 180-day jail stay upon conviction, according to Michigan's super drunk laws. Her charges stem from an off-duty traffic stop at midnight Jan. 18 on Big Beaver Road near Rochester Road.
Patrol officers said they saw LaForest hit a median curb twice, and that she came to a stop on top of a pile of snow in the median. Her blood-alcohol content was later found to be 0.27 percent — more than three times the legal limit of 0.08 to drive a car, prompting the charges.
The officer, a 12-year veteran of the Troy Police Department, is scheduled for a pretrial at 1:15 p.m. Tuesday in 52-3 District Judge Julie Nicholson's courtroom.
Candace LaForest — or Candace Rushton, as some reports list her — was driving home from a night at "Norm's Field of Dreams" bar, which was about a mile from where she was stopped.
Officer Melinda Weingart made the initial stop after noticing LaForest's Dodge Ram pickup swerve several times, driving up onto the snowed-over median next to the left lane and back off again. Weingart then approached the truck and saw someone who knew her well enough to call her by a shortened version of her name.
"Mindy it's me, Candace," said LaForest to her colleague.
After that interaction, Weingart and another officer who responded called their supervisor.
In her report, Weingart recalls that when she asked her coworker — who she also said smelled of alcohol — what she was doing, "she appeared to be confused by my question." Later, the report notes, LaForest "was rambling and telling me she just wanted to go home ... stated she just wanted to make sure Jack (her dog) was ok.
"Candace, come on ... you know we can't let you drive. ... Don't make this harder on yourself," Weingart could be heard saying to LaForest on a patrol car video of the arrest after LaForest asked to be taken home.
After initially refusing to get out of her truck, LaForest eventually complied and was taken to the Troy Police Department lockup. She didn't have her department-issued gun with her, the report said, but a bottle of Diet Pepsi with a small amount of liquid in it that looked "too light in color to be Diet Pepsi" and "smelled of intoxicants" was confiscated.
Weingart's report mentions that LaForest had talked about a recent divorce, and "told me she was just trying to get through the divorce."
Once at the Troy Police Department lockup, LaForest would not get out of the patrol car. Capt. Robert Redmond, who was called in from home to respond, talked his subordinate out.
"I told her that she was under arrest for drunk driving and that she was going to be treated just like every other citizen that gets arrested," Redmond wrote in his notes.
She eventually agreed and refused a Breathalyzer test while in the lockup area, during which nearly two hours passed.
Officers got a warrant to draw LaForest's blood, and the tests came back the next week three times the legal limit. In all, four officers responded to the traffic stop and six more came in some type of contact with LaForest's case.
Farmington Hills attorney Arthur J. Weiss is representing LaForest — who pleaded not-guilty during her arraignment Feb. 4 — declined to comment.

Rays Win Series Against Cubbies
Rays 5, Cubs 4
I saw a wild trio on the field on Tuesday night that brings back the saying "You Can't Go Home Again".
Well, you can go home, just do not expect a huge bucket of victories from this crappy Rays bunch. On the turf were current Manager Joe Maddon, departed chief Lou Piniella, and innaugural whipping boy Larry Rothechild. Each manager was responsible for a different era of growth for this team.
Larry got the "younger years". the time where veterans were hired to get the franchise through the lean years before the farm system could restock the team. He never got to see that dream.
Lou, sweet Lou, came here to teach more the aspects of being a Professional and how to carry your team on you back. He did that. He might not have gotten the end result he envisioned when he signed on, but a few of these guys are great players because Lou rode them hard and let them play their game. His era of the Era of development and toughness.
Last, but not least, is the Era of Joe-ism. I can't put a finger on the accomplishments yet in a nutshell, but this team blossomed under his letting go of the righs a bit with the guys. Letting them develop, but guide them in the same voice. Joe is a wise guy, with a theasarus for a mind. If you can't play for Joe ( Delmon), you can't play anywhere before adjusting yourself accordingly.
3 Masters of the Rays Universe all standing there looking at a team the two Chicago visitors only recognize in name and cetain players. The rest is the crown jewel of Joe Maddon. It is his team to lead upward and onward now. Larry Rothchild must love seeing smiles on the players' faces, they were never contenders in the lean years. And I think in Lou's mindset, this is the team he dreamed of for those many years. Joe, I think either of these guys would swap places with you in a heaetbeat and still know it was your baby all along here.
Trivia Fact of the Night:
Since 1876, there have been only 2 years that a triple play did not occur in the major leagues: 1961 and 1974.
Thank You Mark DeRosa for getting the scoring started on Wed night in front of a ESPN audience. It must be hell to be you today with the cellphone messages, and the email bloopers, blunders and Cubbie jokes segment on the TV. But, we here in Rays-town know that feeling all too well.
Even after a great vicotry over your team, most of the talking heads from Bristol still do not get it. The Rays just won their 9th Consecutive home series of the year.. NINE, never before have we gotten to this point before the All-Star break, but still we are considered the "Also-Rans" of the AL East. I heard a comment recently on "Baseball Tonight" that the Rays will fade in time. I also read and heard that we are "playing above our heads".
Both might be true, but I think this team is in for a "Miraculous Summer". It is alreafy one of the best on record for us, but might just surprise the nation real soon. You know, in the next homestand, the Red Sox come back to the A/C refines of the Trop.
If we sweep them again, what will be the talk, that neither team can play in the opponents park, or Bosotn is not playing with "playoff intensity" right now. Give credit where credit is due guys. This sqaud will make believers of you, but I guess winning two straight from the team with the BEST record in baseball is not a big thing to you guys.
Rays starter Andy Sonnanstine has the right stuff again. He mixed his pitches well last night and earned his 8th victory of the season. Sonnanstine pitched 5 innings of 7-hit, 3-run ball to help the Rays take the first 2 games against the Cubs. Andy only threw 94 pitches tonight, but got 57 strikes out of his performance. Sonnanstine coming into the game has not given up a homer since Mat 21st in Oakland, and is curently 6th in the AL in runs allowed.
Eric Hinske has been so valuable to the Rays this season he should maybe be the next guy to see a renewed contract and a raise for his efforts. Anywhere you put him, he has come through this season for the team.
Eric was hitting in the clean-up spot for the first time this year and went 1-3 on the night with a RBI and a run scored for the Rays. Eric event got his 6th stolen base of the season last night in the 7th inning.
Hinske came to this team in the spring just looking for a job, not even gauranteed a spot on the roster, and has produced more ans more for the upstart Rays. The Rays are 19-3 when he homers, and 34-17 when he is in the lineup for the Rays.
Four different Rays got RBI's last night in a total team effort to beat the Chicago Cubs. B J Upton, Evan Longoria, Hinske and Willy Aybar each got a single RBI for the team.
Speaking of teamwork, let me tell you a few stats on our Rays:
The Rays matched their season and franchsie record highwater mark at 13 games over .500. Before this season, the team had never been more than 4 games over .500 at any point in their history.
The Rays tied their record for most wins before the All-Star break with a victory last night. In 2004, under Lou Piniella, the Ray were 42-45 at the break. The Rays have now won 24 of their last 28 at home, and the Ray have pitched to a 2.38 ERA at home, best in the majors this year.
According to "Elias Sports Bureau", the last team with 9 straight home series won within a single season was the Colorado Rockies in 2007. The last AL squad was the Oakland A's in 2005 ( 12 straight). The Rays have won 13 series overall for the year, one shy of their entire amount in 2007.
I put this last guy in the end of the blog becuase that is where we all know he is the strongest member of the Bullpen crew. Troy Percival can be a monster most nights on the mound, he has only allowed 19 baserunners in 26 appearances, two of them last night. Of his 26 opportunities, 17 have been perfect innings. 19 of them have been scoreless innings for the Rays.
For his career, Troy has converted 340 out of 395 save opportunities, for a 89.1 percent save rate. Since saves became an official stat. in 1969, only 6 pitchers have bettered that mark.
And on Wed. night, without any hoopla or fanfare, Troy tied with the Hall-of Famer Rollie Fingers for 9th place on the All-Time saves list. All this from a guy who at this point last year was considered retired by major league baseball. Next up for Percival on the list is…………Randy Meyers in 8th, with 347 saves.
With success and a continued Rays winning attitude, Troy could be nearing Jeff Reardon in 7th with 367 by the end of the season, or pass him in 2009(?)

Congratulations to Jim O'Rourke!/
FCA's Newest Private Pilot! Jim O'Rourke passed his Check Ride on Sunday, July 16, 2017. Congratulations to Jim and his instructor Bryan Gonzalez! Welcome to the club, Jim!
Congratulations to our distinguished CFII!
Fitchburg, MA – JAMES POWELL has been recognized for his high standard of flight instruction by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA), the world's largest aviation association. POWELL has been awarded a spot on the Flight Training Experience Awards as a Distinguished Flight Instructor, a title given to high scoring flight instructors from AOPA's 2018 Flight Training Experience Survey.
AOPA's Flight Training Experience Awards were created to highlight the best flight training the industry has to offer. "This year's group of schools and CFIs were especially close as we analyzed the results of the 2018 Flight Training Experience Survey," said Chris Moser, director of AOPA's Flight Training Initiative. "It gives me great confidence to both hear about some incredible flight training providers and to see how much their customers truly value them."
Powell said; "I am both honored and humbled by this prestigious award. I would not have been rcognized without the input from so many students and clients, so I am extremely grateful for their time to endorse me. I could also not be as successful without the day-to-day support from our other highly esteemed instructors and our attentive management team at FCA Flight Center."
The 2018 awards were drawn from flight students and pilots who voluntarily reviewed their flight training experience last summer through an AOPA online customer satisfaction survey. The process yielded an evaluation of 1,048 different flight schools and 2,012 individual flight instructors.
