QB Dellapiano leading Masuk's resurgence
Published 8:17 pm, Wednesday, September 30, 2015
MONROE — While uncertainty seemed to loom over the quarterback position at Masuk High in the offseason, little did anyone know that the Panthers had their answer all along.
Tasked with lifting the once-proud program back to prominence, second-year coach Joe Lato entered mini-camp this past June with a few different options to replace last year's starter, Zach Kaufman. The most experienced of the bunch was junior Nicholas Dellapiano, who interestingly enough, had not played quarterback at all since first arriving at Masuk in the fall of 2013.
Although there was no clear-cut choice on paper, Dellapiano's production on offense in 2014 spoke volumes in Lato's mind. Starting on the same offense as his older brother, Michael, who was the Panthers' lead tailback, Dellapiano racked up 617 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns while splitting time in the backfield and at receiver during a 7-4 campaign.
"Nick started every game as a sophomore on offense," Lato said, "and he played a lot on defense. That's pretty invaluable for a sophomore to do that."

To no one's surprise, Dellapiano is now an invaluable piece on a team that is once again making waves in the SWC. Lato handed Dellapiano the keys to Masuk's offense, and so far the quarterback's rewarded his coach and a starving fan base by turning defenders on their heels.
The Panthers averaged 44 points in their three September wins and are one of only three remaining unbeatens (Newtown, Stratford) in the SWC. Believe it or not, it all makes sense to Lato.
"Before I got the job, I believe he was the JV quarterback as a freshman. He has taken reps," Lato said. "It wasn't like, 'Oh, let's see what Nick can do.' He worked hard at it. His athleticism is something that you can't teach. He doesn't get rattled. He's made some good plays, just by keeping his eyes downfield."
So after two straight years of mediocrity — a pair of 7-4 seasons that came with little fanfare and no trips to the postseason after a dominant run under John Murphy — the Panthers are hoping that Dellapiano is the solution to their problems. At the very least, they feel like they're back on the right track after storming out of the gates with resounding wins over Bunnell, Weston and Barlow.
"I think we are," said sophomore Ryan Shaw, who's second on the team with 16 catches for 194 yards and three touchdowns. "We've got a lot of players young and older, so we're going to be strong for a while."
The quarterback figures to be a key ingredient. After beating out sophomore Matt Hersch for the starting gig, Dellapiano's thrown for 594 yards, eight touchdowns and only two interceptions to start. Perhaps even more impressive to the Panthers are his 284 rushing yards and four scores.
"He's doing great," added Shaw. "He's a doing a great job of adapting to being the quarterback. It's awesome to see how far he's come."
While Hersch was sidelined with an injury from baseball season, Dellapiano took a majority of the reps under center at the June mini-camp and the 7-on-7 Grip-It-and-Rip-It tournament. His athleticism, Lato noted, was hard to ignore.
"Hersch was hit ... in the head during one of his freshman games. He was done for spring sports, and he was cleared during the summer. It's good we have a couple of kids to choose from at the quarterback spot. It helps when you've got a playmaker at QB. He can do a bunch of things.
"The pieces are there."
Now it's a matter of Dellapiano and Co. arranging them properly. So far, so good.
"In camp we just worked on all the little things, and now it's just paying off," Dellapiano said. "It's always been pretty natural just to play quarterback."
Now the question is, just how good can he be?
"I can be real good," Dellapiano said, "when I want to be."

Two Endangered Species Get A Second Chance
Last week proved to be big news for two endangered animals. A nearly extinct primate was discovered in a remote part of the world and endangered pygmy rabbits gave birth to babies in the wild for the first time in a decade.
Scientists with Conservation International made a remarkable discovery when they found 455 northern white-cheeked gibbons living in a remote portion of a forest inside Vietnam's Pu Mat national park. It is the largest known remaining population of the critically endangered primate.
The gibbons were identified through "auditory surveying," a technique that uses the "species loud morning calls" for identification. CI confirmed 130 separate groups (455 animals in total) living in the area which borders Laos.
Gibbons are on the brink of extinction throughout the world due to loss of habitat and hunters who sell their body parts for its alleged medical value.
Gibbons are called the most "romantic primates" because they mate for life and "serenade their partners with song."
Ben Rawson, regional primate expert for Conservation International, who led the gibbon research project, said in a press release, "We are extremely excited about this discovery. Pu Mat was already important for its great diversity of species and for its benefits to the surrounding communities, and now it is a top priority for global gibbon conservation."
The Second Discovery
Conservationists in Washington State declared their own victory for another endangered animal last week. At least one Columbia Basin pygmy rabbit, a species that numbered only 16 in 2002, successfully gave birth to three wild-born kits.
Researcher Penny Becker found the litter of tennis sized balls of fur. Columbia Basin pygmy rabbits are the smallest rabbits in North America, weighing only one-pound when they are fully grown.
The Oregon Zoo and Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife were thrilled with the discovery. They have been working on the recovery program for ten years. Currently the zoo breeds the rabbits, but none have been born in the wild.
In 2007, 20 rabbits were released into the Sagebrush Flat Wildlife Area, but only one rabbit survived the first reintroduction process and that animal had to be returned to the zoo.
Oregon Live reported the rabbits died from various diseases and being hunted by predators.
Scientists learned from their mistakes and this year built protective burrows for the rabbits and released them later in the year. More than 100 healthy rabbits were returned to their natural habitat. The discovery of the newborns was very encouraging.
"They're healthy and surviving well enough to have kits," said David Shepherdson, the zoo's biologist. "Those have to grow up and breed next year, so this is the first step …in having a self-sustaining wild population."

text: My dad has a Ranger bass boat and is getting ready to install a 500 series Humminbird unit (I don't recall the EXACT model, but it is a 500 series down imaging unit). At any rate, his goal is to use it at the driver's console and be able to reposition it to use it from the front of the boat. He wants to use the ram mount to allow this rotation, but even then it would require a very long arm to be able to rise over the windshield. I had an idea today to utilize a GearTrac on the gunwale and a Screwball for the base mount to allow him to slide it forward of the windshield when using it in the front position. My question is actually two-fold, but only one of the questions relates to the screwball: How many rotations would be required to loosen the ball enough to slide up and down the track? Obviously with the power and transducer cables attached we need to be concerned with how many times he'd have to turn it. The second question is more GearTrac related, but I'll just throw it in this post: Would you recommend using a fullback or two since the base of the trac would be fiberglass? I'm really certain we should at least use bolts/nuts as screws shouldn't thread well in fiberglass. Any other considerations we should have when mounting this to fiberglass? Thanks in advance!

Journey of the Heart
Ilhan Eeda's only memory of her home country of Somalia is of the night she fled in 1993. Her father had just been killed by rebel soldiers embroiled in the country's civil war, and a four-year-old Ilhan vividly recalls a cramped van ride to Kenya down a dusty road paved with emaciated lions. The road led Ilhan to a months-long stay in an abandoned warehouse owned by a violent man her grandfather knew, to five years of dwelling in a mud hut in a Kenyan refugee camp, and ultimately to a new and uncertain future half a world away in the United States.
Her early years in the US were rocky, but Ilhan eventually made many friends and found a passion for helping others as a phlebotomist at Intermountain Healthcare.
She thought that was enough for her until she learned about the Venture Course in the Humanities, a free two-semester course that introduces people living on low incomes to a variety of humanities courses. Venture led Ilhan to the nursing program at Westminster, and through generous scholarship grants, Ilhan will graduate from Westminster in 2017 without student loan debt.
Read more about her remarkable story and what she has planned for the future in the current issue of the Westminster Review.

Europol smashes football match-fixing ring
The Hague: Police have smashed a criminal network suspected of fixing 380 football matches, including in the Champions League and World Cup qualifiers, Europol announced on Monday.
"It is clear to us that this is the biggest investigation ever into suspected match fixing," Europol chief Rob Wainwright told journalists.
At least 425 referees, players and other officials are suspected of involvement, with matches rigged so that major sums of money could be won through betting.
Most of the allegedly fixed matches were played in Turkish, German and Swiss championships, but other matches around the world are also concerned.
Two of Europe's Champions League matches and some World Cup qualifiers are also suspected, Europol said.
Europol showed television coverage of a suspect match, an international between Argentina and Bolivia, during which a Hungarian referee awards a highly dubious penalty.

A SMALL cannabis farm was located in Penhill this morning after the electricity company raised concerns about a property.
Officers from the neighbourhood policing team were alerted to the property after a visit from the electricity company unearthed a number of cannabis plants being cultivated.
The property was vacant at the time and the resident will now be arrested upon his return to the area.
Hydroponics and plants have now been removed from the house on Inglesham Road and suspect named to police.
PC Lloyd Griffiths, beat manager for Penhill, said suspicions were raised when it appeared the address was not routing any elecricity.
"The address was entered some time this morning, and a small amount of cannabis plants were located," he said.
"There were around seven adult plants and a number more in the early stages of growing, so this was not a massive operation by any means.
"It seems the guy had not been using any electricity, so a warrant was obtained through the electricity company. They have entered the property and found the plants before they called us, and we have been dealing with it since.
"It was a property on Inglesham Road which has been entered. The male was not in the property at the time, and there is information that he might work away from the town during the week, so we can deal with him when he comes back."
Anyone with information regarding drugs in their area should contact Wiltshire Police on non-emergency number 101.

That's the off shoot of the ruptured Achilles he suffered Sunday, ending his season.
Church, who made the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent in 2010, finally earned a starting job in 2012 and was looking forward to proving that he belonged only to see his dream taken away three games into the season.
"It's disappointing but I have to stay up beat and positive for the team," Church said. "I will continue to do that."
Church suffered a quad bruise last week against the Seattle on the same leg that the he ruptured the Achilles. He admits that weakness in the quad may have played a role in the injury.
"It was run play," Church said. "I think it was a freak accident. I went to help on the run and soon as I planted it popped."

Reader's Bathrooms: Vicky's Metallic Momentum
(Welcome to Bathroom Month! We're taking inspiring bathroom submissions from our readers and giving gifts in return. Join us. All info is here.)
Welcome to Vicky!
Not sure if this qualifies as a bathroom as there is no "bath". I suppose that technically, it is just a powder room. I needed a little intimacy and color in my otherwise pale and open loft. The silver paint is soft and reflective on the walls and the overall steel-y qualities reflect the cast iron columns just out side the door to the room...
The tile came mounted on 12"x12" mesh squares and after it was installed, but not grouted, I moved many of the disks to obscure the straight lines between each mesh square. Painstaking, but worth it!
For perspective, the bath is about 5' X 5' and the vanity cabinet is 3' 3" wide.
Backsplash Wall: metallic and red circle mosaic from Artistic Tile
Sink: ceramic "steel" vessel sink from Artistic Tile
Floors: Ironworks "steel" rectified porcelain from Artistic Tile
Vanity: wall mounted wenge cabinet from Henrybuilt
Faucet: Jado Glance monoblock lav faucet
Walls: Janovic silver paint
Toilet: NeoMetro Cerine toilet from Gracious Home

Hello Friends!
I am really excited to be kicking off our fourth season of Sister Bridge. Can you believe in three short seasons we have sent back over $35,000 to these women overseas? I am so grateful for giving this idea a try…Several years back, I ordered some product and kept ordering more and more as women in Kentucky absolutely loved it and wanted so badly to help women in much different circumstances than their own.
This year, my health has been pretty rough again, but I was still led to order these products and say, "Lord, it's Yours. Sell it if You want! I'll do the little I can." I was so compelled because of the stories I have heard this year. I'll share a couple with you.
First, when I contacted the women who runs the ministry of Beads of Java in Indonesia about ordering some more jewelry and ornaments this year, she told me that last year our order literally kept the ministry afloat. She said it may have closed down if it wasn't for that order. And mid-Spring 2014 as sales were low, one beadmaker decided to take a job in Macau instead of stay in Indonesia working for BOJ where she was safe from human trafficking. The missionaries were so sad to see her go, because it could very well be that she was walking into a terrible situation. This ministry exists to keep women from having to turn to slavery to have food on their table, and we are proud to support them and all they do. You can help BOJ by going to their website and purchasing Christmas gifts, booking a party, or ordering and selling mass amounts like SB does.
Second, I read a book by Holly Prosser, about her life story, her adopted daughter, and her adopted daughter's birthmother who is still living today in Ethiopia. To make a long story short, I feel like I saw a movie as I read that book; I watched a birthmother who had already run away from an abusive husband have to take two of her children to an orphanage because the only job she could get was prostitution and she refused to let her daughters grow up in that environment. As a lover of adoption, I have to say what any of us who love adoption would say: Adoption is redeeming a bad situation and helping a need. It is beautiful and we are honored to be a part of it, but adoption is only fixing something that was never meant to be. Mothers were meant to be safe, loved, and able to take care of their children, period! But since so many are not, adoption exists. Anything we can do to keep mothers safe, loved, and with their children, we will do with all our hearts…And ministries like BOJ, Timbali Crafts, Cooperative Outreach of India, and Rahab's Rope are doing that!!! They are keeping women from having to work degrading jobs with tyrant bosses, they are providing safe and godly community and friendships, they are offering hope in the gospel of Christ and counseling, and they are changing lives.
I could say more but I'll save it for another day…
May God bless these precious and sacrificial missionaries and ministries around the world who are taking care of Jesus as they take care of the most vulnerable women and children in our midst. And may we stand alongside them in this calling!

With the Superb already making waves as a strong competitor within its segment, it seems credible that it will lend a helping hand to its sub-compact sibling.
In 2015, the Fabia broke through as a middle of the pack in Europe as far as sales were concerned, edging out rivals such as the Dacia Sandero, Citroen C3, Seat Ibiza and Hyundai i20.
At the same time, it falld behind the Yaris and trailing the likes of the Peugeot 208, Opel Corsa, VW Polo, Renault Clio and Ford Fiesta by a wide margin, so freshening it up a little could boost its appeal.
This rendering is pretty much identical to what the Fabia currently looks like, with the slightest of differences regarding the Superb-infuenced headlights and grille that, naturally, were shrunk to fit the smaller car's dimensions.

I'm starting a self-study creative writing course today to help me refresh my writing skills while I have a little time over winter break. I am using a course found here at Open Learn, Open University UK. Feel free to follow along and to comment below if you have discussion points.
Today I'm working on sections 1 and 2, and here are the results of my activities:
Activity 1: Write what you know
Writing what you know means pulling snippets of your daily life and using those words in your writing. it means taking details from around you and making them create a realistic environment for your reader.
Activity 2: Listening activity
Activity 3: Building a believable world
From memory-
Two tall dressers with a chocolate-brown papered-on finish stand on either side of a honey-toned half dresser, topped with a clunky square TV. The California-king has a regal wrought-iron headboard that always pokes me in the back of the head while i'm trying to read, and the mattress is somehow always topped with my least-favorite comforter in the house. Twin nightstands are at the head of the bed, mine topped with library-borrowed craft books and often crafts themselves; Mark's with his alarm clock and the remains of yesterday's pocket contents that did not get transferred to today's pocket.
From observation-
The flat-paint finish of cheaply-maintained apartment walls is beginning to look more scuffed than clean around the edges, and the standard beige short-pile Berber carpet has a distinct walking path, plus a few spots from craft accidents, cats, or messes otherwise. Matrix promo cards, cat toys, and laundry litter the edges of the floor, and on the day before New Year's Eve, the calendar is still pinned up as November. If I change it right now, at least December will see one full day.
This past weekend, I had the opportunity to participate at an eco-holiday craft workshop for San Jose's Our City Forest. I brought along several project ideas for decorating without purchasing anything new, and my plastic bag yarn Christmas tree was a big hit!
Materials:Cardstock or thin cardboardHot glue gun & gluePlastic Bag YarnGlitterDecoration for top
To begin, find a piece of thin cardboard or cardstock. Cereal boxes work well, old poster board from a past school project is perfect for larger trees, or anything flexible yet firm that you can roll up into a cone shape will work. I'm using a piece of used bristol paper from a scrapped drawing assignment last semester.
Find the center point of your edge, and roll the edges of the paper in on themselves. You'll have to cut the bottom to be flat, so don't worry if it's not evened out.
Once you're happy with the shape of your cone, hot glue the edges of the outside down all the way around. Let the glue cool, then trim the bottom of your cone so it sits flat.
Starting at the top, glue the end of your plastic yarn into the hole at the tip of the cone. Laying down a line of glue all the way around the cone tip, wrap the plastic yarn carefully into the glue. Once you get all the way around, continue wrapping the yarn down the cone in a spiral fashion, keeping the yarn tight to the round above it. Add more glue as necessary.
Continue wrapping and gluing plastic bag yarn all the way down the cone. When you get near the bottom and the last layer looks even across, trim excess yarn and cardstock.
Now it's time to decorate our tree. Over an area that will collect excess glitter or hot glue, such as a box or a large piece of paper, apply a dot of hot glue on the plastic yarn tree. Low temperature hot glue works best here, but if you just have a high temperature glue gun, be careful that the hot glue doesn't move around on your tree much.
Holding the tree over the box or paper, and while the glue dot is still hot, cover the hot glue in glitter. Allow glue to cool completely, then shake off excess glitter. Wait for each hot-glue-and-glitter ornament to be completely cool before applying the next one.
If necessary, dust excess glitter off plastic bag yarn with a soft dry paint brush.
Finally, decorate the top of your tree. I used two circles punched from a recycled foil-lined envelope, which I glued back-to-back and finished with a confetti star glued to each side. I cut a tiny slit on both sides of the cone tip, added a little hot glue, and stuck my star medallion to the top.
Here's the tree on my craft table at Our City Forest's Eco-Holiday Craft workshop. You can see people making recycled ornaments in the background. Everything was a big hit!
Here's to great decorations, creating less waste, and a happy holiday to you and yours. Cheers! <3
New Yoga Position: Downward-Facing Diz
The holidays are here, and it's time to spread the good cheer. Why not make an effort this year to reuse and recycle as many of your gifts as possible?
Today I'll be showing you how to make t shirt yarn, which is great for creating custom yarns, from slim to bulky weight, that can be made into any number of great home decor or fashion gifts.
First, collect t shirts. Specifically, you want a tube knit shirt with no side seams for the best results. Harvest shirts from your give-away pile, your friends' or family's cast-offs or closets (after asking, of course!), or from thrift stores. If you opt for the last option, this is a case where bigger is better. Hit up the men's sections first, heading straight to the xxxl's if possible. Bigger shirts will get you more yardage for the same amount of money.
Wash and dry all shirts when you get them home. Next, we dissect.
Begin by cutting off the hemmed portion of the t shirt as close to the stitching as possible. From there, cut a spiral strip from the bottom edge of the t shirt all the way up to either the armpit area of the t shirt or to the printed design, whichever comes first.
The thickness of your strip will determine the thickness of your yarn, but be careful not to cut down to less than a quarter of an inch strip or you won't be able to stretch your strips into yarn.
Here's one 3xl shirt, cut into 1 continuous strip, before stretching.
Begin stretching the strips between both hands by pulling the strip lengthwise. This works with the properties of a knit stitch to curl the cut ends of the fabric in on the strip, creating a rounded piece of fabric that is easy to work with and looks smooth. Continue pulling the strip until the entire length of the fabric has been stretched.
Here's the same 3xl t shirt after being cut and stretched, waiting to be rolled into a ball.
Here's my original pile of t shirts after being cut, stretched, and wound into balls. As you can see, I've already started crocheting them into a Christmas-colored rag rug. The rag rug was raffled off at the Our City Forest Eco-Holiday Craft Fair, and now has a happy new home!
Enjoy your new yarn, and enjoy making a green impact on our world!
On Thanksgiving I finally got a chance to crack into my cotton spinning kit that I ordered from The Woolery. I brought it to my in-laws' place and after dinner my step-niece Alissa and I played with the kit together. I taught her how to brush a rolag with my new 120 pt carders, and then we started to practice spinning.
Here's the carders after Mark assembled them for me. I just cut a flap in the box to accommodate the handles for now, until I can find a more permanent storage solution. Below the cards is my handy dandy cotton spinning kit, complete with tahkli spindle. I like the weight and balance of it. It spins like crazy.
In no time, Alissa was spinning on her own. She got the principles down really quickly, and I think if she had the opportunity to practice she'd get pretty good at it.
Here's the payoff: somewhere around 3 yards of her very own handspun cotton yarn! Cotton isn't easy either, so I've gotta hand it to this kid. She picked it up quick, and she seemed to enjoy it the whole time. I know I had fun helping her learn!
In this video, Megan LaCore demonstrates plying two single-spun yarns together on a top-whorl drop spindle. Spinning two or more yarns together is a helpful and versatile technique that every spinner should have in their knowledge base.

In this timelapse video, I'm working with superwash wool, a top-whorl drop spindle (The Babe) and a handmade felted wrist distaff. A distaff is designed to help keep fiber clean and neat while spinning, and keeps it from catching in the yarn as it is being spun. It also helps limit fiber shedding onto clothing and furniture, and minimizes collection of particles, pet hair, or random fuzz into the fiber.
Last night I finished a new pattern I designed for a birthday present for one of my best girlfriends. It's a big shawl, perfect for the cool fall days in the bay area, and great for curling up on the couch to read with.
I have a feeling I'll be making a bunch of these this year, because they're fast, easy, and knit up with huge needles and only 3 balls of yarn. Can't go wrong there!

One problem is that popular clients and servers only do exclusive locks, so current practice is not sufficient to answer the unanswered questions in RFC2518. We could cut shared locks from WebDAV, require that only one resource's lock may be updated by a LOCK refresh request, and that would codify existing practice. I believe that works even for collection locks since a collection lock may not overlap another exclusive lock. So the new requirements would be something like: - The LOCK refresh request MUST address the resource that was locked (the root of the lock) - The If header on the LOCK refresh request MUST contain one (and only one) lock token, the token for the lock that is to be refreshed - The server MUST reject the request if the request-URI and token do not match LisaReceived on Wednesday, 2 June 2004 11:16:50 UTC

The Blue Bonnet Restaurant Ratings and Reviews
How perfect to lunch at Blue Bonnet before enjoying American Mariachi at the DCPA. Two of my favorites - great Mexican food and theater! The food was delicious, especially the Brunch Pork Posole Stew and Crispy Relleno. Unfortunately, the Crispy Taco's shell stopped being crispy ... it became soggy. Over all though, a beautiful afternoon! It was also nice being able to make a reservation on line - very easy!
I took my adult daughter for dinner and we both loved the food. It's highly ranked every year on Open Table so we tried it. The chips tasted like they made at the restaurant and the salsa had a nice amount of heat, but not too hot.
I ordered the smothered burrito, which is one of its specialties. I would happily order it again. My daughter ordered enchiladas that she said were delicious. They have outdoor seating if that's your thing. The ambiance was not special, but our waiter was friendly and likable.
The bottom line: I look forward to returning.
The food was pretty good, our waiter was very nice and everything came out of the kitchen timely. My biggest complaint is the table wasn't wiped down well, and 4 out of the 5 chairs were covered in chips. This is a training issue...chairs should be cleaned as well as tables. Under the table was not too clean either. Don't know if I'd go back.
Used to live in Denver and went to The Blue Bonnet now and then. ALWAYS had their crispy chile rellenos, just fantastic. We moved away from Denver about five years ago, but had to go back last week for a short visit. Went back to Blue Bonnet, had the crispy chile rellenos, and they were just as good as we remembered. And the Perfect Margarita was fantastic, too.
This restaurant did an excellent job of taking care of large groups on "Dining Out for Life" during the dinner hour. Everyone had drinks, chips (even gluten-free), and salsa immediately after being seated and then diner orders were taken in a timely manner AND there were no mix-ups in serving a party of 11. The food was generous and gluten-free items were served with everyone else with no waiting by anyone. Individual tickets were given, with no mix-up on orders, and change or charges were promptly given to everyone.
We had a nice time and the food is always great and they are always willing to make adjustments for dietary needs. Waitress was a bit forgetful however very nice and apologetic when she was. Lighting was very dim and difficult to read the side of the menu that was black with colored lettering. Great prices!!
Blue Bonnet has been a staple of the Denver restaurant scene for decades. Their formula is consistent, and it works: decent Tex-Mex at a reasonable price, good service, and a just-plain-folks atmosphere with a hopping bar scene. Service is generally good, as it was on my most recent visit.
I've been a fan for a long time, even though I don't make it in as much as I used to. It's still a destination for me if I know I'll be in south Denver.
The mole was very good. A perfect blend of flavors. The chimis were good and the green Chile sauce had a very good flavor. I found the guacamole good but overpowered by the onions and jalapeños. The margaritas were ok but seemed watery. Not much citrus to them.

Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, February 1, 2004
Long ago, the theory regarding death investigation was that if one person could be made aware of all deaths they might be able to notice avoidable patterns. If several people died after drinking from a specific well, or if a particular piece of machinery on a farm kept claiming victims, the death investigator would be the person the community would rely on to pinpoint the cause and suggest an alternative.
"There have been death investigators for years and years and years. Most people (don't want to) die any sooner than they have to, and if something is leading to the death of people they want to get rid of it ASAP," Lockard said. "Our role now is to look at deaths and point out patterns that could lead us to changes."
Lockard said the job of medical examiners isn't to help the victim, but rather to help the next person who could fall prey to a corner where accidents keep taking place, a strange illness or even a murderer.
"If people are falling over after having chills and a cough and dying before they get to the hospital my role is to see that the CDC knows about it. Another role would be to get evidence where people have met with misadventures that would be of assistance to police and the prosecutor," Lockard said. "That's the whole reason we're here, to prevent other people from dying."
In a standard case, the role of the medical examiner is to determine the manner, cause and time of death. Often, they'll talk to the victim's family or physician to learn about the victim's medical history and help form an opinion regarding the cause of their death.
And what deaths do they investigate? Well, basically all of them.
"We try to investigate every scene. For me not to be involved in a death it has to be natural, expected, and the person has to have been seen by a physician (no more than two days prior to when the person died) who can certify the cause of death," Lockard said. "If they don't meet all those criteria we have to be involved."
Lockard has several assistant medical examiners and hospice nurses who are trained and certified to process a death scene.
"There are several people I've sent to courses on that. Wayne State and the MSP have a two-day course on death scene investigation every year and the Michigan Association of Medical Examiners has a three-day program every fall," Lockard said. "I think if you're going to do something and do it right you have to do it more than a couple of times a year and you have to stay informed."
And staying informed takes on added significance when its taken into account that death scene investigators often play a dual role when arriving on a scene. Until a manner of death is determined, death scenes must be treated as crime scenes and everything could be evidence.
"Death scene investigations are crime scene investigations until you've determined they're not," Lockard said. "You think twice before flipping light switches and tracking everything up. Ninety-nine percent of the time you determine it's not a crime scene immediately."
One can imagine some grisly scenes death scene investigators are forced to confront, but Lockard said in spite of that he feels good knowing he helps make the citizens of the county safer.
"It hasn't bothered me. The things you would think of as bothering people haven't bothered me much. You see some really sad things," he said. "But I think it's a general perception that our job is to pronounce the person dead. Our job is to ferret out patterns to make sure no misadventure occurred that is likely to recur and basically to make the county a safer place."

>> Freeride 2013 TESTING
Thanks for this very informative post.
get soundcloud services
I think we just need to remove the blue bottom, and enlarge the painting, because to me it's giving off a clown like vibe, anyways, the board is an awesome all around board, I've set it up for some downhill, freeride, and a little techsliding. I think we should shave a few inches off, maybe make it around 37in or so?? To me when I stand over it, I think of the archetype, but with double kicks. The wheel wells are big, but could be a little deeper, as I still had to use some riser to avoid bite with a 70+mm wheel.
Thanks for the feedback, Ken.
fyi, regarding the clown-like vibe of the graphic, we hear ya. That's clearly from the crop and color combo. That will be addressed.
I really dig this board!!!
For starters, it could/should definitely be a few inches smaller, this things a tank!
As far as for sliding, it is far superior to my mini shaka for foot space, concave, and having that locked in feeling. It would be nice to have a microdrop though just so that theres some sort of foot pockets so that you don't have to find exactly where you want to put your feet during various slides. 9/10
For downhill I haven't had much experience, probably around 35-40 tops, and it felt good. But again I would feel a bit more comfortable if there was some sort of space to put you feet while riding. 9.75/10
The W-concave feels perfect while riding, but all of my hills involve a lot of pushing, so maybe if it was a little wider and/or flatter...? Maybe even no W? 8/10
Overall, this things a tank, feels awesome down a hill both rolling and sliding. I would give it a solid 9.5/10.
I also like the Manifest as a board name. Makes the board sound just a badass as it really is!!
PS... a little more rocker couldn't hurt! :)
the concave felt primo but a foot stop of some nature would be sick. because while i was digging putting my feet right on top of the trucks and getting a lot of leverage it didn't really give me a locked in feeling that ive found with dropped boards. don't get me wrong i'm in love with the concave and am not suggesting a drop but if we could find a way to construct a foot stop the platform would be perfect. the shape of the kicks is nice and proportional in my opinion. however i do feel that their is room for an additional set of holes on the inside of the board. the graphic is DEFIANTLY giving me a clown vibe that is a major turn off. i would defiantly revisit the color scheme immediately
I think 2" shorter would be great and keeping as large of a wb (like 24ish) as possible with the smaller size( if that works), i think a little waist on it would look good. I love the kicks, angle and size are great, the concave is beautiful, right now it is the only dk I would dh on, the name manifest seems nice, and the graphic is "meh" I don't mind it
Hi guys, been looking for this forum, I am pleased to join your community!!
Thanks so much for this information. I have to let you know I concur on several of the points you make here and others may require some further review, but I can see your viewpoint. http://eyebrowthreadinginfo.com/
If we were going for the cometogether vibe thing, this graphic would have won if it were posted earlier, I think comet should put up three graphics, and now have the community vote, because more people were voting in the beginning, and just stopped at the end.
good job guys, found a lot of useful information, I am pleased to join your community!
Pretty nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wanted to say that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts. After all I'll be subscribing to your feed and I hope you write again very soon!
Good ideas, Ken. We did a last call on voting and emailed all forum users and posted everywhere. Maybe next community design project, we'll run a top 3 voting round. Thanks.
btw, it would be rad to do something like Adam's mashup some day. In some ways, it reminds me of those limited run one-of-a-kind mashups that Kaya screened in 2012. Would love to see that again!
This graphic better win. i really think there should be a vote that has like the three best graphics: the one that is currently going to be the board graphic, this graphic, and another one that everyone likes. i think this graphic would really make the board have a community vibe.
Well, those graphics simply didn't have the votes. It's time to move on. Such is life, eh? There will definitely be another community design project here. We're looking forward to it. The community will grow.
For those who have more thoughts on graphics -- even ideas on how we can run the graphics contest in the future -- please post to the Graphics topic:
For this "Testing" topic, let's get more feedback on the ride of the prototype. Thanks!
Also, we're stoked to see some shots of you shredding on a prototype!
Post a photo here or email email@example.com. Let us know where the photo was taken. We're looking forward to getting some up on Instagram.
The wheel wells on the board have to be bigger, and the mounting holes need to be lined up better, because with tkps I get some bite, even when using a riser
So far the only addustments that have really been said are 1-3" shorter total length and deeper/better placed wheelwells and I agree with both.
A cut out in the bottom to mount a gopro at the perfect spot would be a cool feature. Just sayin

Bandra's slums send a green message
Fight Back Theatre, a theatre group comprising 14 kids from the slums in Bandra, will be spreading the message of forestation and the need for sustainable development, as part of their street performance at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival
"We need development, one that can bring more jobs, better roads, better houses, electricity, means of transportation, education, and equal opportunities of growth for all sections of the society. But this development shouldn't be at the cost of nature," is the message that theatre director Zubin Driver and his team of 14 young artistes will stress on at a street performance at the Kala Ghoda Arts Festival. Known as the Fight Back Theatre, its members were raised in the slums of Bandra and will be staging the play, The Giving Tree, to spread the message of forestation on February 15.
Members of the Fight Back Theatre group during a street performance
Driver, who founded the group two years ago, and has been mentoring them since then, says that the play speaks of the giving nature of trees and the human greed, and how dangerous the latter can be. "It's based on a children's poem by the same name, and looks at the relationship between a giving tree and a boy. During the play, the tree keeps giving everything to the boy, till only the trunk is left," he adds.
Zubin Driver
The play aims to highlight the struggles of the people of Aarey Colony to retain the forest around it. "The forest reserve around Aarey Colony offers a major buffer zone for the Sanjay Gandhi National Park. If we destroy it, we will be putting the national forest at danger, and a natural habitat, which has grown over more than four decades. The government says, it will plant trees to make up for the deforestation, but how will a man-made forest replace the natural forest, built over decades?" he asks.
Driver informs that the kids at Fight Back Theatre are not only a part of the cast, but were also actively involved in the creation of the play. "The play didn't have a single writer or director. The entire group has written and directed the play together, improvising on it whenever needed. My role was of a mentor to help them fill the gaps and as a co-writer and co-director, and it has turned out beautifully," he admits.
Driver speaks of the team, "It is made up of kids from the slums in Bandra (E), aged between 17 and 21. Some do part-time jobs in the day, others attend night schools, and some attend college — all come from financially weak backgrounds, but are very passionate about theatre and the subject. Despite living in Bandra in such an environment, they got involved in protecting the forest reserve; it's time the middle and upper class and the people in Aarey joined hands to save the forest reserve," he asserts. Despite the kids having to juggle various things, Zubin always thought that theatre would be the last priority for them.
But the kids surprisingly turned out to be more disciplined than expected. "This programme is more than just about theatre. We talk about personality development, society and politics. They hail from a background where there is a lot of drugs and gang violence. So, it keeps them safe from that also," feels Driver.
NOTE: The play was created in association with the Save Aarey Group, an initiative by volunteers and activists to protect the forest reserve around Aarey Colony.

STUTTGART, Germany, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Daimler AG on Thursday affirmed the outlook for its trucks business for this year after saying it would trim production at its biggest truck plant in October. Daimler Trucks has so far said it sees 2012 operating profit at least matching the 1.88 billion euros made in 2011. The company earlier said it would suspend production at its plant in Woerth on four days in October due to low order levels. A person ...

Former champion reclaims fiddling title
April 18, 2011 at 4 p.m.
Updated April 17, 2011 at 11:18 p.m.
HALLETTSVILLE - The finals of the 2011 Texas State Championship Fiddlers' contest featured an all-star lineup.
Defending champion Wes Westmoreland, of Temple, former two-time champion Carl Hopkins, of Porter, and 2009 Gone to Texas winner and 2010 state champion runner-up Bubba Hopkins, of Burleson, went bow to bow Sunday in a round-robin playoff of five songs each.
The Cliff and Velda Fryer Texas State Championship playoff included - determined by the random turn of a domino - a polka, reel, swing, rag and hornpipe.
When the resin had settled, Carl Hopkins, the 1996 and 1997 champion, regained the crown during the 40th annual Fiddlers' Frolics.
"I don't really know what to say. I know I had a heck of a good time up here. It was really fun," Hopkins said after the announcement and presentation of a $1,500 check. "You guys make me feel at home here every year. You're fantastic people."
In addition to the cash prize, Hopkins won a Texas State Champion belt buckle, a plaque and an invitation to the Grand Master Fiddling Championship in Nashville in the fall.
Westmoreland took home $1,250 and Bubba Hopkins, $1,000.
Carl wasn't the only Hopkins to go home a winner. His father, E.J. Hopkins, won the senior division and his son, Hyatt Hopkins, took top honors among youth accompanists.
Hyatt's father had some words of praise.
"I want to thank all these guitar pickers up here, especially my son. I am real proud of him," Carl Hopkins said. "Maybe that's what all you fiddle players should do, have kids and teach them to play the guitar."
Victoria's Paul Prater, 96, finished fourth and Dan Jasek, 79, of Moulton, placed eighth in the senior division. Victorian Bonnie Riley placed 19th in the state championship division.

The pre-Gamescom 2017 Microsoft press conference has the company open preorders for the upcoming Xbox One X with a special edition of the console-- the Project Scorpio Edition.
Named after the machine's original code name, the Project Scorpio Edition has a custom gradient design on the exterior, together with the Project Scorpio branding stamped on the controller and console. Meanwhile the retail packaging features a giant X reminiscent of the original Xbox.
However one has to keep in mind the Scorpio Edition is identical to the regular Xbox One X-- it is simply something special for the fans and early adopters.
Officially presented back at E3 2017, the Xbox One X is the confusingly named upgrade of the Xbox One. Described by Microsoft as nothing less than "the world's most powerful console," it rivals the PlayStation 4 Pro with a custom 8-core AMD CPU clocked at 2.3GHz, a 6 teraflop GPU clocked at 1.17GHz and 12GB of GDDR5 video RAM.
The result should be a machine able to push 4K resolution visuals at 60fps, together with HDR and Dolby Atmos support. It also promises to improve the visuals for customers playing games on regular HDTVs, and a UHD Blu-ray drive and 1TB storage are included.
The Xbox One X hits the market in both regular and Project Scorpio flavours on November 2017.

Roma Teen Brutalized and Left for Dead in Shopping Cart by French Youth
A 17-year-old Roma boy was horrifically beaten outside of Paris last week after being abducted by a rowdy gang of French youth who claimed he was responsible for a series of thefts in the neighborhood.
When they'd finished with him, they dropped the boy, known by the first name "Gheorghe," in an abandoned shopping cart, leaving him for dead or close to it — he's remained in a coma since, and the outcome in his case isn't certain. Should he survive, he could be facing lifelong disability, including brain injuries as a result of repeated blows to the head.
The incident, and photographs of the young man lying in a shopping cart like so much garbage, has shocked France, but it may just be the inevitable outcome of the rise of xenophobia and right-wing extremism that's sweeping across Europe. France in particular has played a significant role in European political shifts. The far right National Front has performed well in French elections and while the nation's President, Francois Hollande, has issued a statement condemning the attack, critics argue that his administration has been involved in the stigmatization and marginalization of the French Roma community.
Originally called "Gypsies" because they were mistaken for Egyptians when they began migrating to Europe in the Middle Ages, the Roma have been part of European society for a very long time. They've also lived on the fringe of European society and culture, marginalized because of their traditions, cultural practices, dark skin and other traits that set them apart from much of Western Europe. Throughout their time in Europe, the Roma have been hounded from place to place, with European communities breaking up their camps and forcibly removing them, accusing them of being criminals who endanger the communities they visit.
In France as in many other European nations, Roma communities have popped up on the fringes of cities or in abandoned areas. Families shelter together in structures cobbled together from available materials and attempt to make a living for themselves until their camps are broken up by riot police. Police often destroy belongings along with the camps, sending communities out on their own with nothing, and while cities are supposed to help the Roma resettle into public housing, most do not.
Gheorghe and his family come from Romania, and may be forced to return there. The French government has been involved in the deportation of thousands of Roma back to their countries of origin, despite the fact that Eastern European nations aren't equipped to handle sudden influxes of deportees — in France, officials claim that Roma "can't integrate" and their lack of ability to assimilate makes them poor candidates for citizenship. The family may also voluntarily move; currently, media report that they are in hiding, concerned they may become targets as well.
For Gheorghe and so many other Roma teens, life offers few opportunities. Access to schools, employment and social benefits are limited for children who are forced to move frequently and who are viewed as suspect and criminal by the society around them. The situation for the Roma in Europe is dire, and a solution requires a fundamental rethinking of how this marginalized community is approached — starting with recognizing them as marginalized and treating them as a group in need of protection. Too late for Gheorge, but perhaps not for other vulnerable Roma youth.
As it stands, no arrests have been made in this terrible case.

I believe LILO just puts some bootstrap code in the MBR and stores a list of disk blocks to load in order to get all the lilo code (typically the blocks of /boot/boot.b which is almost 6Kb on the RedHat machine I'm looking at). Sure 6Kb is still small, but no where near small enough to fit in the MBR. Rick

Hotel Heinrich Heine History
Built in 1898-1900, this luxury hotel was originally named Hotel Fürst zu Stolberg (Prince of Stolberg Hotel), after Prince Otto of Stolberg-Wernigerode (1837-1896). A number of important political figures have stayed here over the years, including Paul von Hindenburg (second president of Germany from 1925-1934), Wilhelm Pieck (president of East Germany, 1949-1960) and Juliana of the Netherlands. The ornate terraced central tower was completely enclosed sometime circa 1920. After the second World War in 1945, the hotel's name was changed to Hotel Heinrich Heine. Russian officers were reported to have lived quite extravagantly in the complex for some time; the hotel was subsequently operated by the Reisebüro der DDR (Travel Bureau of the GDR - all tourism in East Germany was controlled by the government).
Due to its proximity to the East/West German border, the hotel could only be visited by permit, and all guests had to wear ID tags at all times - however the Heinrich Heine continued to be quite popular, and rooms were often sold out, typically by government officials and wealthy businessmen. Rumors were occasionally whispered of lavish secret parties, held at Heine's night club Dachsbau (Brockhouse).
After the reunification of Germany in 1990, the high-class guests, as well as the GDR parent company's funds, vanished into thin air. The resort limped through the next few years operating as a Travel Hotel until 1995, when it was finally closed for good. The property was purchased by an anonymous bidder in Berlin for 43,000€ in 2007, however the buildings remained neglected. They were eventually razed in 2016.

For parents of children with special needs such as Down syndrome, becoming strong advocates for them may be more of a necessity than a choice. By becoming activists or community leaders, such parents make a positive impact in the lives of their children and others with special needs. Learn how to become an advocate for special needs children with these tips.

How Parents Can Become Community Leaders

Create a local group in your area to unite parents of special needs children but understand that support groups can be a real challenge. Many times, members get discouraged if support groups don't offer something other than parent-to-parent interaction. Support group leaders can ensure the group is relevant to members by contacting local organizations about inviting professionals to make presentations during meetings, answer questions from parents or services to families. Support group leaders should also invite parents of older special needs children, as they can share their insights and experiences with parents of young special needs children.

Support group leaders may also share interesting reading materials during meetings, organize discussions about important topics and devise strategies to tackle common concerns parents of special needs children have. They can promote their group through social media or create an online group. Parents can create a private group on Facebook or start a blog about raising special needs children.

Many parents become experts as the years go by and find paid opportunities to become professional advocates or leaders in their communities. Organizations are always in search of new generations of leaders and parents. Those who work hard and believe in their own voice can eventually build a career that allows them to make their living doing what they love--advocacy and leadership. Paid opportunities for parent leaders are available through school districts, early intervention programs, and nonprofits.

Characteristics of Leaders

Leaders know their communities well and can voice their needs in an objective way, identifying opportunities to be heard and understood. Leaders understand that not everyone living in the same circumstances feels the same or has the same thoughts or needs. Leaders don't try to transform people's personal beliefs. They respect different ways of thinking and work with others towards the main objective instead of trying to impose their beliefs on the team. Leaders think of themselves as just another team member rather than as the boss or person who dictates what others say or think.

Leaders understand that leadership is not about exercising control. Instead, it is about identifying everyone's strengths in order to win the battle. Leaders empower their peers by pointing out their strengths and suggesting creative ways use them in order to achieve the common goal. Leaders find joy in motivating others to believe in themselves. A leader is always looking to share responsibilities and grow as part of a team, where success is a common goal that brings pride to everyone.

Judy and Brad Niemeyer designed the layout, instructions, and foundation papers for the Lakeshore Hosta. A collection of batiks designed by Judy and Judel Niemeyer with Timeless Treasures called Lakeshore were selected to make the sample shown on the cover. A sewing technique called foundation paper piecing is used to assemble the units required to make this quilt. Traditional piecing and curved piecing techniques are used to join the units after the foundation piecing is completed. Thank you to Vicki Ibison for the fantastic custom quilting on the cover quilt, which was pieced by our European Certified Instructors and Judy Niemeyer.
The color layout for the quilt on the cover was designed in Quiltster, a subscription-based fabric auditioning application that Quiltworx has been working with a design software development firm to bring to the Quilting Industry for the last two years. With Quiltster, you can load fabrics into spaces on a quilt design to see what it looks like before completed. Quiltster is set to launch in spring 2016 to a consumer audience!
This pattern publication also marks the launch of a series of patterns using new units designed to fit the original Fire Island Hosta layout. When all of these patterns are published, a customer can use Quiltster to mix and match units from each design to create their own unique quilt pattern! As a Quiltster subscriber, you will not only be able to try out fabrics, but mix and match the blocks between the Hosta layouts to create your own unique design! We are excited for the Quiltster launch and the upcoming release of many other elements to use with the Hosta Layouts. With the launch of Quiltster, you will be able to order a kit of individual sections of each quilt, with the pieces you like, from the available patterns. We can't wait to see what you all come up with!

Broadcasters Ruel Camba and Jerry Cambay (who are long been suspected to be half-brother because they are dead ringer who have almost similar surnames too) asked me to join them last Thursday at DWPR as they interviewed Congressman Leopoldo Bataoil (2nd District, Pangasinan).
|Rep. Leopoldo Bataoil (2nd District, Pangasinan) strike a
pose with broadcasters Gerry Cambay and Ruel Camba
when he guested recently at DWPR in Dagupan City.
I asked the solon the consequences in case the hated pork barrel would be totally excised from the congressmen and senators.
ME (Me was my Chinese name when I was a tot in China): Sir, alam naman natin na ang mga congressmen at senador ay ang nag i-identify sa mga projects through lump sum fund. With the brouhaha against the PDAF (priority development assistance fund or pork barrel) iyong pag bigay ng lump sum sa mga congressmen gagawin na na line items. Pag ganoon po, hindi ba delikado iyon kasi mga congressmen hindi na nila ipapasa ang mga bills na gusto ng Malacanang dahil tinangalan na sila ng power to identify projects of their whims? Pag ganoon po, baka to the extent impeach nila si Presidente (Benigno Aquino III). What's your take on my observations, congressman?
CONGRESSMAN BATAOIL: Ha, ha, ha advance talaga ang isip mo Mortz. Believe ako sa iyo.
ME: Malikot lang ang isip ko sir.
CONGRESSMAN: Itong kaibigan natin he thinks way way way ahead (chuckle).
Bataoil elaborated that all these hullabaloo and uproar on the pork are part of the things Filipinos as a nation has to go through.
"Good point, the people are deeply involved and have attested their desire for change," he stressed.
He said he is one of those solons who attentively listen to the wishes of the Filipinos for change.
He explained that in the bill for the 2014 General Appropriation Act (GAA) that all allocations anchored to the "pork" or PDAF have been deleted.
He explained that it was even cited on a specific provision of the proposed GAA 2014.
"So what we have to do now? We'll maximize our oversight functions. Oversight na responsibility namin? Monitor the implementation of these projects on the GAA. For that matter all other projects which will be implemented by implementing agencies iyan ay commitment ko as your congressman," he stressed.
When asked if he would run as governor of the 44-town 4 -city humongous province in 2016:
He said presently he is preoccupied and focus on his work at his congressional district to give the best he can for his constituents.
"If we are really meant (for the governorship) doors will be opened. (That post) is God's greater destiny," he said.
POLITICAL EQUATIONS: A political spectator said that in 2016 in case Bataoil throws his hat for the gubernatorial derby the political and governmental landscapes there would be the following:
Either Rep. Kimi Cojuangco (5th District, Pangasinan), Rep. Conrad Estrella (Abono Party), Vice Governor Ferdinand Calimlim, or "Provincial Liga ng Barangay President" Amado "Pogi" Espino III join the gubernatorial fray. Exiting governor Amado T. Espino runs in the 4th Congressional District by challenging the "hegemony" of the de Venecias in exciting congressional tussles since Ali fought Foreman, er, since former Dagupan City Mayor Benjie S. Lim challenged former Speaker Jose de Venecia in 2007. Espino versus either Gina or Jose de Venecia would dichotomize the loyalty of the five mayors in the district. The spectator further said that in 2016 former Alaminos City mayor Hernani Braganza returns in the political firmament as cabinet secretary in lieu of Secretary Mar Roxas who would throw his hat for the presidency or settles as undersecretary, and 2nd District Engineering Office Elpidio "Pidiong" Paragas of the Department of Public Works and Highway would be the regional director of the Department of Public Works & Highway while media men RJ Jimenez, Atong Remogat, Harold Barcelona, and Ronel de Vera would no longer frequent Lingayen, Pangasinan but spend most of their media hours in San Fernando City, La Union brainstorming how to solve the problems of the world.
Have I miss somebody on these political equations in 2016? Post your message in the here-under box of my blog.

On the 8th…the CBI sending message to all money changers…the CBI will no longer be involved with the auctions.
The CBI is handing off the auctions to the banks – (as it should be).
With the IBAN System…money will be able to move in and outside of country…
The exchange rate has NOT changed on the CBI website yet…but the CBI's website still shows January 4, 2017.
Only one thing left…the dinar has to change…and that announcement has to come from the CBI.
Looks like they've got the GREEN-LIGHT!
The only thing left is to raise the value…The CBI has to make their move… release the lower denominations.
From now until Thursday is going to be interesting.
