Hiram Police Charge Men in Robberies
In addition to the robbery of the Powder Springs restaurant, the men face charges out of Hiram as well.
Powder Springs Police detectives have charged two Douglasville men in connection with the Feb. 7 robbery at Zaxby's on Brownsville Rd.
The initial report detailed that a white man entered the business as it opened and demanded cash from the employee. That man then fled on foot toward the parking lot behind the business where he got into a waiting vehicle and fled the scene.
According to a news release Friday, 46-year-old Stanley Ray Chastain and 40-year-old Scott Ray Chastain, both of Douglasville, have been charged with robbery in connection with the incident.
Powder Springs Police and Hiram Police detectives worked closely during this investigation as similarities, such as the suspect vehicle and M.O., were found with a Feb. 6robbery in Hiram. Hiram Police have charged both men in connection with that incident.

Did you know that Selima Optique has a range of eyewear for kids, designed exclusively for Crewcuts?
My friend Angel, who works at Selima's Bond Street boutique, introduced me to the line one day when I dropped by the store to shop for myself. The collection is so freaking cute, I knew I had to tell my readers about it!
The frames come in several classic shapes and a snazzy array of colors, for style options to suit any budding fashion maven. Jackson and Walker loved rocking the sunglasses that Angel lent us to review and photograph, and it was amazing to see how they gravitated to different styles that perfectly complimented their very different personalities. Jackson immediately picked the Delancy frames as his favorites and started channeling his inner movie star, whereas Walker looked utterly himself the second he donned the insanely-precious-yet-still-totally-badass-pint-sized aviators.
I am in love with the range of mauves and pinks that the Scout style come in. So pretty, right? Doing this post is making me want my own new pair of sorbet-colored glasses! Lucky for me, Selima has the grown-up styles covered too ;)
Shop the entire collection of children's sunglasses online at J. Crew, or bring your kiddo by a Selima store location to get a custom fitting for prescription lenses.

The thing I ran over with my karma. Sorry man, I just hit your dogma with my karma.
2. | dogma | ||
1) A doctrine or a corpus of doctrines relating to matters such as morality and faith, set forth in an authoritative manner by a church.
2) An authoritative principle, belief, or statement of ideas or opinion, especially one considered to be absolutely true. See Synonyms at doctrine. 3) A principle or belief or a group of them. Usage: -- Dogma, Tenet. A tenet is that which is maintained as true with great firmness; as, the tenets of our holy religion. A dogma is that which is laid down with authority as indubitably true, especially a religious doctrine; as, the dogmas of the church. A tenet rests on its own intrinsic merits or demerits; a dogma rests on authority regarded as competent to decide and determine. Dogma has in our language acquired, to some extent, a repulsive sense, from its carrying with it the idea of undue authority or assumption. This is more fully the case with its derivatives dogmatical and dogmatism. The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present" (Abraham Lincoln)

'The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia' movie
Dyslexia Support
By Marci Orr
This is a story of hope and encouragement. Come and bring anyone you feel would benefit from understanding The Big Picture.
The Big Picture: Rethinking Dyslexia provides personal and uplifting accounts of the dyslexic experience from children, experts and iconic leaders, such as Sir Richard Branson and financier Charles Schwab. Directed by James Redford, the film not only clears up the misconceptions about the condition, but also paints a picture of hope for all who struggle with it.
Shining a spotlight on the latest scientific and psychological research, the film also highlights the work of Drs. Sally and Bennett Shaywitz, co-founders and co-directors of the Yale Center of Dyslexia and Creativity to illuminate the hidden origins and implications of dyslexia. Proving that dyslexia is a neurological issue and not a character flaw, The BigPicture beautifully illustrates that while the condition is an obstacle, it also carries some unique advantages, and ultimately can be overcome.

The Limits of Connoisseurship
Recently, there's been a legal and art historical controversy over the authentication of paintings by members of the New York School. That group of artists, also known as Abstract Expressionists, included Jackson Pollock, Mark Rothko, and Robert Motherwell, among other well-known figures. They emerged in New York in the late 1940s, and constituted the first internationally influential US art movement.
In the case at hand, the Dedalus Foundation, founded by Motherwell before his death to protect his legacy, authenticated a number of paintings purported to be by him, which dealers then sold. Later, Dedalus officials became skeptical about the works and withdrew their endorsement, in effect labeling the works forgeries. In the spirit of full disclosure, one of the dealers is a friend of mine, so I was more sensitive than I might have been to the very difficult position they were put in. Neither forensic testing nor the lawsuits that ensued actually resolved the question of the works' origin. If it is this difficult to authenticate art created within the living memory of many of those involved, imagine what happens as we move further back in history!
This situation got me thinking about the value and limits of connoisseurship. The term "connoisseur" raises hackles in many parts of the art world because it carries with it the notion of inborn "taste," something instinctive and unmeasurable, yet superior; the elitist connotations are obvious. If we define connoisseurship as an ability honed through years of deep study and careful observation, it becomes more palatable, even admirable. Problems arise, though, when connoisseurship is wrapped up in the ego of the connoisseur. If there is a need to be the leading authority on a particular artist's work, and to retain that informal title, it can undermine serious analysis. In many instances, questions about a work's authenticity or attribution (who painted it) remain in flux, whether the art is modern or very old. (Not long ago, I wrote about a Renaissance painting in the museum's collection that was hidden under a 19th-century fake; the attribution of the older work remains in question. Eventually, further research and/or improved scientific methods of study may deliver an answer, but in the meantime neither refined taste nor a highly educated eye is going to settle the matter.)
Personally, I have mixed feelings about connoisseurship. I dislike the term's snobbish associations. But because museums offer unique opportunities to engage with physical objects—it is our primary reason for being—they are a natural venue for the development of connoisseurship, in the staff and in audience members who want to explore art history. There can be enormous intellectual and sensory rewards to the intense study and observation of art, and I love that aspect of our work.
Then there's the question of our increasingly DIY culture: With the ascent of the internet and social media, which has made a lot of information accessible, people increasingly seem to expect (and want) to intuit their way through learning. The new mode, which pretty much strips connoisseurship of its power, is more democratic, and if you learn things impelled by your own curiosity, they may have more significance for you. Yet, while the easy availability of information and the situation with the Motherwells underscore the limits of connoisseurship, I wouldn't throw it out all together. This is an age of entrepreneurship, but how many of us are really independent entrepreneurs, in business or in learning? Most of us benefit from an existing structure, even as we build on it. Without a base of established knowledge, how deeply will most people go into any subject? At its best, the museum provides that foundation, acting as a guide, opening the doors to individual exploration and discovery.
Until next month,

Yes, Tywin cared about Jaime. But he woulnd't let sentimentality hurt his cause. If Jaime stayed inprisoned, Robb still wouldn't be able to use him, he'd be simply released after Lannister victory. Or perhaps killed by someone desperate as last payback, which, while somewhat satisfying, wouldn't really help Robb any.
It makes total sense that Catelyn would value life of her two of three remaining children more than hope to annoy stone cold Tywin.
ETA: to put the thread more on topic, I do in fact think less of Catelyn the person because of her reaction to Jon and I think it is possible to put some blame on her. But it is none the less common reaction that doesn't make her a bad person.

help! My POD Farm2 has latency+delay.
Like (0)
Before my computer have been format, I have no problem.
but yesterday I got format and reinstalled pod farm2, it had latency and delay.
I hit the string once, it sounds "ding~ ding" ring twice. (it sounds like turn on delay.)
and it have latency. (change hardware setting, this problem still...)
But I run cubase 5 and vsti farm2, it is no problem. no latency, no delay.
just POD Farm2 run stand alone, it has problem.
I don't no what is reason. I want to run POD Farm2 stand alone. help please.
and sorry my english. but line6 hompage in Korea hasn't require the question.
When you said hardware setting, did you mean the buffer size?
I was not sure if you had done this so I will say what to do below:
Open Pod Farm Standalone and go to 'File', then 'Preferences', then 'Hardware', then 'Tone direct settings'
and go to where it says 'Tone direct and usb audio streaming'. Then move the sliding knob/lever to the along to the left. Then play your guitar. If the sound is stopping and starting or making pop noises, then move the slider to the right one place until it sounds better.
I am not sure what else could be doing this.
I hope you get it working.
Let me know if it still is not working.
Maybe someone else has some ideas about what could be the cause of this problem.
God Bless you,
sounds like you have monitoring enabled in cubase... so you are hearing everything twice....
You said its happening in 'stand alone' mode, but I suspect what RealZap says is basically correct - you have direct monitoring enabled on whatever input device/interface you are using so you are hearing the direct signal PLUS the signal going through PodFarm (with a slight latency delay on it).
Hmmm.... I heared in cubase, sound is clearly once.
OMG. I solved the problem!!!!!
fflbrgst is correct!! Thank you very much!!
The problem is direct signal.
After unchecking the "listen through this device" in the windows sound settings, I only can hear it once.
Thx every one!!!
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Victory Place @ Coppell video among top winners
By Dan Eakin, email@example.com
A video produced at Victory Place @ Coppell for the Coppell Independent School District is one of three top winners in a �20/20 Vision� video contest sponsored by Edgenuity, a leading provider of online and blended learning solutions.
Edgenuity has announced that the Coppell Independent School District is among two runners-up in the video contest which highlighted how online and blended learning solutions are improving academic outcomes for students, teachers, schools and districts across the country.
Winner of the grand prize in the contest was Henrico County Public Schools in Virginia, which received a $5,000 technology grant.
Ron-Marie Johnson, Victory Place @ Coppell principal, said her staff worked with students in order to produce the entry. Teachers who assisted students included Brian Kennedy, Marco Rodriquez, Jamie Lackey, David Hume and Rhonda Shaw.
Sari Factor, Edgenuity CEO, said, �All of the contest participants showcased great examples of the many ways schools can use Edgenuity to engage students and help them achieve their academic goals. We�re thrilled to award the winning schools with additional support to help them continue to drive positive academic results with effective, results-oriented online and blended learning solutions.�
Factor added, �Coppell Independent School District�s submission shows how Edgenuity is transforming the learning process. Its video, �The Future is Here,� focuses on how online and blended learning solutions help to cultivate self-directed, resourceful problem solvers.

Firefighters in the East Contra Costa County Fire Protection District work an average of five 48-hour shifts per month, which works out to an average work week of 56 hours.
There are a total of 48 fire-suppression positions in the ECCFPD, 43 of which are currently staffed. The remaining five positions are back-filled by overtime, which Fire Chief Hugh Henderson said is less expensive than hiring additional employees with full benefit loads and other employee expenses. It also allows firefighters to work extra hours to supplement their base pay, one of the lowest rates in the Bay Area.
There are three classifications of firefighters in the ECCFPD: 12 entry-level firefighters; 15 fire engineers, who drive the engines and manage equipment; and 16 fire captains, who command the engine crews and manage individual station operations.
The command staff of the ECCFPD consists of three battalion chiefs, one per shift, who oversee district operations and provide overall incident command on calls, coordinating multiple engine companies and other agencies.
In overall command of the district is Henderson. In addition to running the district administration, the chief's duties can include command of major incidents, managing media or even operating the district fire boat, as occurred last week.
Rounding out the district's full-time staff is one administrative assistant, who manages the district office, including payroll and placing equipment and supply orders.
The district also employs about 20 reserve firefighters, who are paid $13 per hour and average 20 to 25 hours per month, mostly in training.
Basic wages
Firefighter pay and benefit packages vary widely across California and the nation due to varying population densities, terrain, local demographics, tax laws and collective bargaining agreements, to name some of the variables. The largest district in the county is the Contra Costa County Fire Protection District (ConFire) – which borders the ECCFPD to the west in Antioch – and serves 600,000 people in nine cities and unincorporated areas covering 304 square miles.
The accompanying chart are the basic rate, average overtime and total wages for the full-time fire positions in the ECCFPD, alongside the base rate (not including overtime) for the same positions in ConFire:
Retirement benefits in the ECCFPD are managed by the Contra Costa County Employees' Retirement Association (CCCERA). The fixed-benefit pension system is a three-percent-at-age-50 (3@50) formula, which provides 3 percent of an employee's average monthly salary over the previous 12 months worked for every year of employment. Overtime is not used when calculating the previous year's salary for retirement purposes.
Therefore, an ECCFPD fire captain earning $5,000 per month and hired at the age 28 (the average age at which public safety employees earning 3@50 are hired, according to a study by CalPERS, the state's largest public employee retirement organization) and retiring at 50 would receive a pension of $3,300 per month, or $39,600 per year. The benefit also provides a maximum 3-percent annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA).
By working until age 58, the same captain could retire after 30 years of employment, earning as much as 90 percent of his final year's salary. According to CalPERS, about 34 percent of all public safety employees, including police and prison guards, reach 30 years of service. One percent reach 30 years of service by age 50.
"The 3@50 (formula) is an industry standard now," said Contra Costa County Supervisor District III Mary Piepho. "(ECCFPD firefighters) are underpaid as far as the Bay Area goes, but the 3@50 provides some level of competitiveness for the district to attract skilled and qualified personnel to serve the public."
Depending on their age when starting, employees in the ECCFPD contribute between 13.7 percent (starting at age 21) and 20.20 percent (starting at age 49 or older) of their pension costs, the district paying the remaining 80 to 87 percent. As public employees, district employees do not pay Social Security taxes on wages, nor are they eligible for Social Security upon retirement.
District employees are eligible for retirement benefits after 10 years of service when retiring at 50, or at any age after 20 years of service.
Retirement benefits accrued but not yet paid for are known as unfunded liabilities. Due to retirement policies put in place during more affluent times plus losses in retirement fund investments caused by the recession, and because pension amounts are fixed, unfunded liabilities pose a major funding problem for nearly every public agency. As more employees retire, larger and larger percentages of the district budget will be consumed to pay off retirements. Approximately one-fourth of the ECCFPD's budget now goes to pay unfunded liabilities, a total that could reach as much as 50 percent in coming years.
Pension reform for new hires could include reducing the percentage of salary used to calculate retirement, using three years instead of one to figure the salary used in the calculations. Raising the retirement age and/or reducing COLA increases could also be part of a revised pension formula, all of which will require years before it impacts the district's bottom line, according to the county's website.
The ECCFPD's current contract with International Association of Firefighters Local 1230 was extended last month for a year. Negotiations are expected to re-open following the June vote. Local 1230 also represents ConFire employees, who last year took a 5-percent pay cut and dropped a future 5-percent raise. President Vice Wells, in announcing the ECCFPD extension, said pensions are a significant concern everywhere, and will be under discussion when talks resume.
Measure S does not include additional pay for firefighters other than a maximum 2-percent COLA.

Why The Video Looks Shaky (Don Ward)
Updated: 06/18/2013 - We did a quick helicopter tour of the Black Forest burn area. Someone asked why the video looks shaky.
11 News has a warning about a suspicious message that may have already ended up on your cell phone. Crooks are sending them, trying to get ahold of your bank account information.
Scammers are sending a seemingly harmless text message to cell phones. At first glance, people may be tempted to fall for the scam.
In the last two days, 11 News has had countless calls come into our newsroom about the fake message. The text, sent out to cell phone users, is an apparent warning about Wells Fargo debit and credit cards being deactivated.
The number listed on the text to call back is a local 719 number, hoping to bait people into giving up personal and valuable information.
"I did use a Skype account, called this number, it was an electronic voice; first thing it asked me was for the 16 digit account number on my debit card," Springs homeowner Kent Nelson said.
Nelson knew better, but says he's still upset about the message. He showed us the text had been sent to both of his phones, and said his entire family received them as well.
"My first thought is, it really irritates me. I don't like to get ripped off, and I don't like to see people get ripped off, and that's what these (scammers) are trying to do," Nelson said.
Nelson hopes others will take his advice and if they get the message, to just delete it.
Wells Fargo says they have been made aware of the scam and that they will never text you asking for personal or account information.

"I started out as an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) surgeon, but since 1981 I have exclusively specialized in laryngology, which deals with voice, swallowing and throat diseases. Many people with chronic cough, however, fall through the cracks between the medical specialties, and often such patients come to see me, because I am an expert in silent ("atypical") reflux, one of the most common causes of chronic cough. Chronic cough is often disabling and life-disrupting. This interactive blog has an overview article and illustrative cases. Please feel free to contact me."
Background: Chronic cough is the most common symptom for which a patient seeks medical attention; however, many patients with chronic cough fail to obtain an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. Chronic cough patients are especially enigmatic for the otolaryngologist.
Materials and Methods: Retrospective review of 50 consecutive chronic cough patients. None of the subjects had primary pulmonary disease; although 54% (26/50) had been previously diagnosed with asthma. All subjects underwent laryngeal examination, 92% had reflux testing, 72% had esophagoscopy, and 60% had laryngeal electromyography.
Results: The clinical diagnosis for chronic cough was reflux alone in 40% (20/50), neurogenic (cough) alone in 14% (7/50), and both (reflux-related and neurogenic cough) in 46% (23/50). Eighty-six percent (43/50) had pH-documented reflux; 56% had neuropathic findings on laryngeal EMG; and 46% met criteria for both reflux and vocal fold paresis. The mean number of pH-documented pharyngeal reflux events pH <5 was 146. Of the 43 abnormal pH studies, 93% (43/46) had pharyngeal reflux, but only 37% (16/43) had abnormal esophageal pH data (pH <4). Thus, had those subjects undergone traditional esophageal or impedance reflux testing, 63% (27/43) would have been falsely considered negative. In addition, 36 subjects underwent esophagoscopy and 64% (23/36) had significant pathology. Eighty-eight percent (44/50) responded favorably to treatment.
Conclusions: Although other causes must be excluded, chronic cough in otolaryngologic practice is usually related to airway reflux and/or a neurogenic cause. Airway reflux testing for chronic cough requires specific pharyngeal pH-monitoring technology that is not yet widely available; however, accurate diagnosis is essential to provide effective, patient-specific treatment. In addition, the alarmingly high rate of esophageal pathology in this series of chronic cough patients underscores the need for esophageal screening in patients with airway reflux.

Trying to calculate a straight return on investment for social media based on traffic and sales following a Facebook or Twitter campaign misses the point and could neglect meaningful measurement of engagement metrics, restaurant marketers said.
• Pei Wei counts down to Sriracha Chicken debut via social media
• Taco Bell tops Expion ranking of engaging Facebook posts
• More restaurant industry social media news
Jersey Mike's Subs and Hard Rock Café, two brands that recently grew their bases of social media followers and, more importantly, increased engagement with them, discussed results from recent social media campaigns with Nation's Restaurant News.
A very social summer for Jersey Mike's
Jersey Mike's grew its number of Facebook likes 30 percent over this past summer, mostly on the strength of a "Christmas in July" fundraiser that raised more than $200,000 for the nonprofit organization Wreaths Across America. The charity funds an annual wreath-laying ceremony on the graves of American soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.
More importantly for Jersey Mike's was that the number of people posting about and replying to the brand on Facebook more than quadrupled during the height of its fundraising campaign, said chief marketing officer Rich Hope.
Social media and return on investment remain "incredibly difficult" to gauge, Hope said, because the positive same-store sales Jersey Mike's has recorded over the past 16 quarters began before the brand got deeply involved in social media. "The investment is low, so that's one good thing about the ROI on social, but to measure exactly what it returns, I can only guess that it's high," he said. "We'll post a photo of a sub in the morning, and we see comments that people are going out to buy it that day, so it's more anecdotal than trackable."
In the second quarter, Jersey Mike's was ranked No. 100 in the Restaurant Social Media Index, produced by Nation's Restaurant News and DigitalCoCo.
For Jersey Mike's, which has more than 500 restaurants in the United States, the most important number to grow was not the total of Facebook likes, but rather the number of "people talking about this brand," which Facebook calculates by tabulating all the likes, comments and shares a brand receives for a short period of time. The 75,000 total likes the brand had at the time of the campaigns were nowhere near the numbers for a rival like Subway, Hope said, but the 10,000 people talking about the brand was Jersey Mike's highest percentage for the year.
"Some brands try to get as many likes as possible, and they 'buy' them by offering a freebie," Hope said. "There are reasons to go that route, because your name pops up on people's news feeds, but we really try to get engagement. … We're trying to get more people talking about us and only have people come on board if they truly like us."
The fundraising campaign proved to be Jersey Mike's most successful social-media initiative.
"We truly believe in cause marketing," Hope said. "We celebrated military heroes on the page, which hit people where they live. Brands try to have stunts to engage people in some way, but when we try things that depart from the true culture of our brand, it doesn't work well. But Wreaths Across America fits with our culture."
For the rest of the summer, Jersey Mike's celebrated its past, posting iconic images or Jersey Mike's ads from each decade from the 1950s to the 1990s. The "Throwback Summer" campaign had a peak engagement of about 5,000 people talking about the brand, but did not really approach the success of the Wreaths Across America tie-in.
"Both campaigns worked well, but Wreaths Across America had more substance and therefore better engagement," Hope said. "That's the trick. Our best engagement comes from posting a photo of our product or talking about our giving culture."
Hard Rock embraces the madness
Similarly for Hard Rock Café, a formula that accurately measures social-media ROI can be elusive as platforms like Facebook and Twitter keep evolving, said Kim Matlock, senior director of marketing and customer relationship management. She and her team keep a close eye on how much Facebook's "people talking about" metric grows and the volume of tweets for a given period of time. Improving those levels of engagement is a worthwhile goal, even if they cannot link it directly to sales, she said.
"Because our customers enjoy our brand as much as they do, they come back to the brand and we stay top-of-mind in their heads," Matlock said. "That's probably the best metric, because we don't do a lot of promotions with discounts to bring people in."
A recent, clear-cut result of Hard Rock's social-media strategy, however, was the 138-unit brand's win in the inaugural Social Madness competition put on by the Business Journal network. In mid-September, Hard Rock was crowned the medium-size business winner, sharing honors with small-company winner One Louder and large-company victor Target. Hard Rock beat other medium-size companies by growing its total count of Facebook likes and Twitter followers, as well as improving engagement metrics during the 15 weeks of the competition.
Hard Rock, which has more than 2.7 million Facebook likes and more than 215,000 Twitter followers, was the No. 16 brand ranked in the Restaurant Social Media Index in the second quarter.
Matlock and digital-marketing manager Sebastian Quinn said photos on Hard Rock's timeline on Facebook did the most to spur the engagement that helped the brand advance through several rounds of Social Madness voting. Whether it was Hard Rock posting its professional photography of food, restaurants or merchandise, or fans uploading their own pictures taken with Instagram and other photo-sharing platforms, photos got people talking about Hard Rock.
"We really work on conversations that mix things up with the audience, and some good posts went really viral," Matlock said. "Pictures with Slash and Ozzy Osbourne in our cafes, or old-school photos of stars hanging out at a Hard Rock in their '80s attire, really got some organic growth for our Facebook page."
Without using discount codes or special keys at a POS system, Hard Rock cannot make a direct correlation to sales, but "we have proof in the photos," Matlock added. "People are posting their photos of their experiences in our cafes, and you can tell where they've been if they post pictures of their food, or T-shirts, or vacation."
Before Hard Rock was established on Instagram, Quinn said, "we started to seed an account with our pictures and found that there were already tens of thousands of photos that people had tagged with us."
"There's your evidence," Matlock said. "It's kind of a reverse ROI."

LOG MOUNTAIN — The Bobcat defense put on a command performance and the offense got rolling after a slow start as Bell County pulled away for a 50-6 win over Middlesboro in Friday's late game at the City/County Bowl.
Bell's defense held the Jackets to just 59 yards of total offense and four first downs. They recorded two safeties and forced four turnovers on the night.
"Our defense really got us going. Those kids flew around and gave a great effort. It was great team defense tonight," said Bobcat coach Wayne Mills. "Our boys felt like they had something to prove, they were a little upset with the way they played at Bryan Station and they really pushed each other this week in practice. It wasn't so much about Middlesboro as it was our kids wanted to give a good effort in front of the home crowd."
The Bobcats rolled up 441 yards on 36 carries. Johnathan Polly led the way with 236 yards on 14 rushes. Ryan Collett added another 189 yards on 12 runs and scored four touchdowns to earn Bell's offensive player of the game.
"There's no question they've got an outstanding football team. That team is going deep in the playoffs and possibly even to the state championship," MHS coach Randy Frazier said. "Our kids fought hard up front, but when you run into a team that runs a defensive line in and an offensive line in, and as big as their offensive line is it just wore on us."
Early on Middlesboro's defense bent, but didn't break. The Jackets stopped the Bobcats on downs twice inside the 10-yard line in the first quarter. But they were never able to flip the field position and Jeffrey Saylor recorded the game's first points when he sacked Major Edwards in the end zone with 6:10 to play in the opening period.
"In a big rival game both teams are going to come out playing on emotion. We didn't execute particularly well," Mills said. "I thought (Ryan) Pittman hit us early and really got his team going. But we just settled in and started playing, kept banging at the door. We knew it was going to break through eventually, because our line and our backs do such a great job for each other."
The Bell running game got going in the second quarter. Collett had a five-yard touchdown run and Hayden Gilbert's kick made the score 9-0 with 10:31 to play in the second.
Collett broke loose for a 45-yard touchdown run on the next Bobcat possession and soon after Tyler Green hauled in a deep ball from Peyton Collett and went for a 48-yard touchdown and it was 22-0 with 6:30 left in the half.
A 13-yard touchdown run by Ryan Collett extended the lead to 28-o by halftime.
"I probably should have made some adjustments to the stack a little earlier and changed defenses a little. But you come out for a quarter and a half and stick it to them," Frazier said. "I take that responsibility."
It was more of the same in the third quarter. Peyton Collett scored on a 13-yard run and Gilbert's kick stretched the lead to 35-0 at the 6:57 mark. Touchdown runs of four yards by Polly and 26 yards by Ryan Collett made it 48-0.
"We've got to play all four quarters. The kids really fought hard, but once it got out of hand we might have hung our heads a little bit. That can't happen," Frazier said. "That falls on my shoulders and that's something that I have to push through."
Saylor recorded his second sack for a safety later in the third quarter, this time throwing Tyler Yoakum for the loss to put the score at 50-0.
The Jackets got on the board in the fourth quarter. Edwards hooked up with Jake Brock for a 28-yard gain and then scored on a three-yard run with 9:00 to play. The conversion pass failed and 50-6 would be the final score.
"It's Middlesboro-Bell. It's a rivalry game, people jaw back and forth, the players go to the movies together, they date each other's girlfriends and stuff," Mills added. "But I wish them the best the rest of the year. I'll be for Middlesboro for every game they don't play us."
Parker Uhl led MHS with 41 yards on 12 carries and Donnie Foister added 22 yards on two rushes. Middlesboro quarterbacks combined to complete three of 13 passes for 33 yards and two interceptions. Brock was named the Jackets' offensive MVP after providing a pair of highlights with that 28-yard catch and a 13-yard run.
Justin Warwick and Ben Collett had the picks for Bell County while Middlesboro's Tyler Prater also had an interception and was named the Jackets' defensive player of the game.
Saylor had those two safeties and several other tackles for loss to earn the defensive MVP for the Bobcats.
Bobcat freshman Peyton Collett completed 4 of 6 passes for 76 yards and a touchdown with one interception. He'll be the starter for the rest of the season as senior Corey Oslonian will be out for the year with his knee injury.
"He threw several nice passes, ran our offense good," Mills said. "I just hate it for Osi. It's his senior year and it makes me sick every time I think about it. You don't want to see anybody have their senior year disrupted because of an injury. He's gave so much to this program over the years and my heart breaks for him. He's going to be a part of our football team regardless and we're going to get behind him and see him through this thing."
Bell County (2-1) is back at home next Friday to take on Whitley County.
Middlesboro (1-2) travels to Harlan next week.
"I don't think after a loss like this that our season is over by any means. If (Bell) was in our district they'd be the state champions in 2A," Frazier said. "We can get better, our young kids can get better. I apologize to our seniors, it was the last shot they had at them. There are a lot of positives to build on and our younger kids have to realize that we're going to get better every week. Our coaches are going at 110-percent and all we ask for is attitude and effort. We get that and we can make it through anything and I think we'll be successful."

Wind power data can be accessed online for free
David Hicks/NREL
An online atlas of global renewable energy potential has been launched to try to identify the most promising places for investment and to help guide governments' energy policies and planning.
The open access 'Global Atlas for Solar and Wind' was launched last month (13 January) at the annual general assembly of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), an intergovernmental organisation based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The project aims to help users identify areas of interest for future investment by enabling them to visualise data on wind and solar resources, and then overlay additional information on such things as roads and protected areas.
The goal is to add software and tools that will allow users to calculate the amount of power that can be generated from a renewable energy resource and so its economic potential.
At present, 39 countries have declared their support for the project, including Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Saudi Arabia, the Seychelles, South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.
"A signing ceremony was organised during IRENA's general assembly and we are happy to see that so many countries are willing to join," says Nicolas Fichaux, programme officer for resources assessment at IRENA.
Participating countries can share data, manpower and expertise. The information in the atlas comes from data providers from all over the world. Solar maps for Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America are already available on the site.
The atlas will also generate new datasets on wind energy under a project funded by the Danish government.
The plan is for the atlas project to gradually expand to become a true global online atlas of renewable energy, including hydroelectric power as well as bioenergy and geothermal energy.
Aimed at both the public and private sectors, the atlas's end users are most likely to be policymakers and private companies looking to support or invest in renewable energy.
India is also participating in the project. "It is operating a massive solar measurement programme and has already developed a detailed wind atlas. There is a lot of expertise in the country and the Indian experience may be of great use to other countries," Fichaux says.
J. Srinivasan, a professor in the Centre for Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, says: "A global database of renewable energy will be useful for planning future renewable energy projects. Many developing countries — where resources are abundant — do not have data on solar and wind energy. Private companies are reluctant to locate projects in places where data is not available."

Robert Hughes, the Australian art critic best known for his bestselling history of Australia, "The Fatal Shore," and his documentary, "The Shock of the New," has died at the age of 74.
Hughes was often called the "most influential art critic" of his generation—a position he jestingly likened to being called the "the most influential bee-keeper" in a 1997 interview with "60 minutes."
A statement from his wife, Doris Downes Hughes, released today said she was with her husband when he passed away peacefully at the Calvary Hospital in the Bronx, New York early this morning.
"Bob was a true public intellectual. He genuinely wanted to share his passion and knowledge with ordinary people. He was elitist when it came to evaluating art but he was absolutely egalitarian when it came to communicating why certain works mattered," added his wife.

You're looking ugly man! (but i'm sure that's the point! lol)
I don't know if it's due to the color correction, but the blood doesn't look so real to me...
You're looking ugly man! (but i'm sure that's the point! lol)
I don't know if it's due to the color correction, but the blood doesn't look so real to me...
Its actually not due to color correction.. as you can see here... Since these were just tests I didn't use the "good stuff", but some cheap halloween variety we had lying around. I color corrected these to make the blood look alot more realistic. The real deal, will be done with stuff that looks like real blood.
looks good, how did you encahnce the color for the photos, before and after. I can't believe the difference between the two.
I'm feeling frisky!
With a plugin in photoshop called "Topaz Adjust".
I may actually have some footage in a bit.. crossing my fingers that my DP can get me something!
I know I keep saying we will have footage soon, and we will.. just not yet lol.
So in the meantime.. here is another photo from last nights shoot!
the ole HV40.. fitted with IRVB focus ring, and a cine city mattebox and cine city rails. It look pro-fessional again.. without a 35mm adapter.. woo!
now take some black gaffer tape and cover up all the canon crap like the 10x zoom. and the other writing on the cam, makes it even better looking to me.
I'm feeling frisky!
lol I might just do that.
While I absolutely love the color-correction on your makeup test stills, I'd caution you to go easy on the added grain, especially if you're editing and coloring on a screen much smaller than your destination size. A little goes a long way. Really looking forward to your trailer!
This is neat, I'm going to keep following this thread. Thanks!
Footage coming as soon as vimeo decides to convert my video.. in.. 25 minutes..
I'm gonna upload what we shot with the Jag35 so you can see the difference.
Cool, looking foreward to seeing some footage, can you post it both ways/ with the adapter and without?
I'm feeling frisky!
Here is a few clips of footage. No audio yet, and this is just to give you an idea of what everything looks like. I don't want to give away too much just yet. I slightly color corrected it in vegas, but the actual film is being cut in Final Cut Pro. The music was created in Magix Music Maker 15.
I have this password protected because its only meant to be shown to my filmmaking comrades.

Here is the adapter footage. Notice how dark it is. We had exactly the same amount of light for both... quite the difference I'd say.
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unvi10YwFRA"]YouTube- JAG35st footage on HV40[/ame]
Definitely changed my mind. I already sold all of that stuff.
I swapped out the shrigg, adapter, lenses.. for a set of normal rails, an IRVB focus ring, and a raynox.
at the password.
The vimeo footage looks great.
There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.
Looking good, Az... Can't wait until it's finished!
|Shallow Depth of Field cannot conceal shallow depth of narrative.|
looks nice man, The only thing I found odd was the vintage police car, which I love by the way, but it didn't fit in the scene with modern cars. seems a bit odd thats all, the footage looks nice though. Now the fun part comes when syncing up the two. naw, it's actually not all that hard, just make sure you slate it, other wise, you screwed.
I'm feeling frisky!
Seriously, it might be the static version of the Jag, but my static Twoneil beats it hands down, even with dirt in the focusing screen.
And i'm using a cheap macro lens found on ebay as an achromat.
Yeah, once you see the entire film it will make more sense. Its a very small town, everything is "modern" but the deputy is kind of stuck in the past..
there are other law enforcement as well who are all "modern", he's just been on the force so long he's mainly there because it gives him something to do, they don't actually expect him to serve and protect, so all he really ever does is annoys these kids.

Actually, it's a hunting weapon to capture Predacons. The toyline, for some reason, thinks that the plot of Beast Hunters is the other way around.
I suspect that the third season and toyline were developed independently of each other, which is why we've got this big difference in the toyline direction and the perceived show direction.
