Making technology work for people living with dementia
Dr. Alex Mihailidis, Associate Professor / Barbara G. Stymiest Research Chair at the University of Toronto / Toronto Rehab Institute
We use technology every day to make our lives better, often times without thinking about it. But biomedical engineer Alex Mihailidis tells us that using the same devices to help people with dementia is largely limited to smart phone apps that remind them to take medications and GPS tracking devices for those who wander.
However, Mihailidis, who is also a professor in occupational science and computer science at the University of Toronto, envisions a suite of smart, computerized devices to help people with dementia live as independently as possible.
Funded in part by the Alzheimer Society Research Program, he leads a team of computer scientists, gerontologists, psychologists, bioengineers and speech pathologists in a quest to perfect devices such as "the talking bathroom." The bathroom has sensors to detect when someone has not turned on the tap or has forgotten soap, and which then trigger a gentle voice to prompt them. It includes a video screen in front of the sink to demonstrate proper hand washing.
The team is also working on "Ed," an interactive robot that looks like an upright vacuum cleaner with a flat video screen face. Ed can follow you into the kitchen and give voice prompts to help you complete daily tasks, such as making a cup of tea.
Preliminary tests at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute show people with dementia are willing to interact with Ed and follow its prompts. Later tests will determine how much Ed's help will improve someone with dementia's ability to complete specific tasks.
"We're still in the research phase. These are complex technologies," says Mihailidis. "Our goal is to work with users to translate these devices into useful technology and move them out of the lab into the real world."
But before this can happen, there needs to be a change in the way we view these technologies.
"We need to stop seeing them as medical devices and look at them as part of the personal consumer electronics market," he says. "We need to be able to buy them in the same locations we buy our consumer electronics."

This has all traits of phishing, apart from the extended validation SSL cert. Is this site run by the real PayPal?
I believe it is legitimate. If you visit paypal.com, switch to the "Germany - Deutsch" site and check out the links on the resulting site, you can see that, for example, the "Sicherheit" (Google translate as "Security") link points to https://www.paypal-deutschland.de/sicherheit/.
Of course, one could argue that this means very little.
If in doubt, visit paypal.com and use the designated German site which appears to remain on the paypal.com main domain.
I'm going to go ahead and say the unexpected - it looks legitimate to me actually.
A quick whois on the domain shows that the same DNS servers serve paypal-deutschland.de as paypal.com (as well as the registration information being almost identical in every other way) - this, in addition to an SSL Cert from VeriSign would be quite difficult to fake. The SSL Certificate being issued from Singapore looks suspect, I will admit, however it appears as though this exact matter was discussed in This German Forum.
That said, if you wanted to be 100% sure you could always contact PayPal support.
Only trusting the CA that this page is legitimate may not be the best solutions.
I fired up Google and looked at the site from that perspective:
Links going into suspsected phising site from paypal.com:
link:www.paypal-deutschland.de -site:www.paypal-deutschland.de SITE:paypal.com
About 3,930,000 results. I verified several of them, and Paypal.com is infact linking directly to the suspected phising site.
With that I would trust this site a whole lot more. Not only is a trusted CA telling you that this is Paypal's company, but Paypal is also telling you that this is their site. Unless the attackers has managed to compromise Paypal.com's sourcecode via injection or some other vulnerability it is very likely that this site is safe.

The Huguely tape: Court finally allows glimpses of evidence
During his trial, spectators could hear George Huguely's interview with police in which he went from matter-of-fact discussion of Yeardley Love "freaking out" to near hysteria and denial after getting told she was dead. In that same courtroom more than two months later, after several media organizations pressed for release of the trial evidence, the public on the morning of May 15 was finally allowed to see the video recording of Huguely.
A couple dozen people, mostly reporters, gathered in Charlottesville Circuit Court to see the one-hour police interview, nearly 200 photos, and about 30 slides of documentation that were difficult to read unless sitting on the front row to better understand what happened before Love was found dead in her 14th Street bedroom early May 3, 2010.
Judge Edward Hogshire did not allow release of any photos of Love's body, nor were any recording devices allowed in the courtroom. In February, Huguely was convicted of second-degree murder with a recommended 26-year prison sentence for the 2010 killing. He faces formal sentencing August 30.
Huguely's police interview starts around 7:53am in a small interview room when Huguely signs a release saying he's been advised of his rights. He's sitting in the far corner of the room, trapped behind a rectangular table up against the wall, wearing a Police band t-shirt and an expression that seems to say, I'm really hung over and why am I here?
In a low-yet-nasal voice reminiscent of James Spader's preppy character in Pretty in Pink, Huguely recounts his past 24 hours. He demonstrates certain parts of his narrative: "She was hitting her head," while banging his own on the nearby wall. "She was freaking out."
He takes a sip of his coffee and says, "She kept hitting her head. I never hit her in the face."
Huguely describes Love as "flopping like a fish out of water." He insists he just wants to talk to her. "She's like"– he pauses as he shivers in imitation of Love– "get away from me."
"I may have grabbed her a little by the neck," Huguely volunteers while miming a loose-gripped choke for Detective Lisa Reeves. "I never strangled her."
Huguely recounts Love's visit to his apartment a week earlier, during which she was "totally freaking out," and hitting him in the face. He tells the initially sympathetic-sounding Detective Reeves that the romance broke up because Love wanted to go to New York after graduation and he to San Francisco.
But Huguely seems unable to halt his tale of the break-up, and, unprompted, describes how Love went to "Carolina" a week earlier. Love, according to Huguely, accused him of being violent and told him she's slept with someone else.
In Huguely's narrative, Love too is violent, having hit him in the head when she comes to his apartment and trying to push him out of her bedroom after he'd kicked the door in. "I just want to talk to you," he insists he told Love.
Huguely seems unaware of how detectives might feel when hearing an over-200-pound man describe "wrestling" on the floor with a woman half his size and seemingly oblivious to the coldness of the assertions: "I tossed her on the bed. She had a bloody nose."
At the same time, he reiterates, "I never struck her." And he shows Reeves scrapes and cuts on his hands and legs. "That's all from lacrosse," he says.
Fifty minutes into the interview, Reeves tells Huguely Love is dead.
"She's dead?" he asks. He stares. He puts his hands on the back of his head, and then under his chin. "How the f*ck is she dead?"
He puts his head down on the table. "She's dead?" he repeats in seeming disbelief. "How?"
"That's why you killed her, because she hooked up with another player," says the detective. "You're here because she's dead."
Huguely reacts like a person in shock, and denies– repeatedly, dozens of times– that she's dead, and maintains that he did nothing to seriously hurt her.
"She's not dead," he protests. "She had a black eye."
Next, he accuses the detectives of lying to him.
"There's no way," he says over and over. He stamps his feet, insisting, "I didn't murder her." He puts his head back on the table, sobbing and sniffling. "She's not dead," he says again as the tape plays on.
As for the photographs, those bits of evidence begin with the Love sisters, Lexie and Yeardley. One from Love's apartment shows a living room decorated with posters of Audrey Hepburn and vintage French advertising.
Her room is neat and clothes are visible. A black and white sweater is draped across a chair. Other garments are pink and red. A computer cord snakes across the floor. Photographs of friends occupy a wall around her bed, and there's one of Love and her sister Lexie on the bedside table. A turquoise bracelet, candle, and lighter are on the same table.
It looks like a typical college-aged young woman's apartment, except for the angry, dark-red stain in the middle of the green pillow on her bed.
The evidentiary photos include Huguely, shackled and wearing flipflops, with rulers beside the scrapes on his leg that look suspiciously like leftovers from kicking in a door.
Photos of his apartment show a fondness for Bob Marley and the Grateful Dead. Empty beer cans and bottles crowd a coffee table.
Huguely's bedroom isn't neat like Love's. Clothes are piled on the floor and spill out of drawers. A remote control, lighter, and pen lie on his tousled bed.
Exhibits of texts show Huguely's unsuccessful attempts to entice other young women that night, the last one around 11:22pm on May 2– shortly before he headed over to Love's apartment.
Thirty slides of trial evidentiary documents were shown for a maddeningly slow minute each for less interesting items like the receipt for Love's Dell laptop.
The same minute flew by on the single screen that showed all the April 30 emails between Huguely and Love, with a reporter able to scribble mere fragments:
She: "Not everything is about you."
She: "You were trying to hook up with Stephanie."
He: "A week ago you said you'd get back together with me and I stop drinking and you hook up with Burns. How f*cked up is that?"
The public gets another chance to see the evidence on the afternoon of Wednesday, May 16.This story is a part of the Huguely trial coverage special.Read more on: George HuguelyYeardley Love

Who really gives a flaming eff? Sentence the jerk and put him away.
Yeardley was no skank !
We care and aparently so did the jury !
Thanks Lisa
Can't wait for The Hook to expose more and inform us on hopefully a muli-million judgement against each party! The resignation of many Atheletic department people and the Coaches!
Skank? Who are you to judge? You are in sore need of some class.
Just a thought, but could it be that Huguely was framed?
I have been reading far too much about this case, but I still have so many questions. I am grateful to Sharon Love for suing the coaches and the university, because I want to know what these men were thinking, why they did not step in, what part of "in loco parentis" they do not understand -- and why new contracts were issued to men who know that 8 other lax players have also been charged with crimes committed under the influence of drugs, including alcohol. But I was hoping to learn -- through detailed descriptions of this police interview -- why GH did not seem to know that punching YL in the face, grabbing her neck, shaking her, and smashing her head into a wall would kill her. Why? How can he not know that she surely must be badly hurt if not dead. He seems to remember many other details about that night, so it seems as though he was not in a blackout. How can he not know that she is dead? How can he not fear that she is at least gravely injured?
If anything George didn't learn from his two prior arrests it's this: don't talk to cops. I'm surprised his lawyers aren't suing the Charlottesville police for entrapment. Did they inform Huguely why they were bringing him in that morning?
Katey Sue -- The prevailing rule today is that institutions of higher education NO LONGER act in loco parentis to their students. Students, from freshmen through seniors, are considered adults, and universities no longer have special, parental-type duties toward the students. In fact, the first of many hurdles for the plaintiffs in the suit you reference will be to establish that the Commonwealth/University and the named coaches had a duty to Ms. Love that extended to her private social relationships, off campus and outside school hours.
Two other problems with your analysis -- 1.) It has been widely reported, and it may have even come out in the criminal trial that Mrs. Love knew of at least one of her daughter's prior altercations with GH -- the choking incident -- yet she never contacted the police, the university or anyone else to report it or any fears she had for her daughter's safety. How can you or anyone else argue with a straight face that the University or the coaches had a higher responsibility to protect YL than her mother. 2.) your curiosity (or that of the Love family) is NOT a legitimate basis for filing a lawsuit. As litigious as the American public has become, one still isn't allowed to put someone through the pain and expense of a lawsuit just because someone feels "entitled" to information -- no matter how sympathetic the plaintiff is.
For more comments on the civil lawsuits, you might want to read the comments under the The Hook's three prior stories on them. So far, your views are in the minority on the propriety of the suit against the coaches, et al. Moreover, not only is your comment about the prior alcohol offenses of the UVa lacrosse players misleading, it is really incorrect -- some players in the recent past were alleged to have committed alcohol violations -- i.e., were caught drinking underage and the like. No matter what your views are on underage drinking, fake ID's, etc., the charges (and, as I recall not all charges resulted in convictions) were not for committing "crimes" while under the influence.
As to the state of Huguely's knowledge of Ms. Love's condition at the beginning of the questioning, you are making assumptions about the altercation that were not proven, e.g., that he punched her. The autopsy photos have not been released, but from juror's accounts they are quite gruesome. However, most times bruising, etc. appears far worse later, than immediately after the injury. Accordingly, I don't find it at all difficult to believe that the guy so drunk at midnight he was still slurring his words at 6:30 AM (when the questioning started), did not understand the true nature of Ms. Love's injuries when he left the apartment. I am not condoning his actions at all, mind you.
Thanks to An Observer -- I appreciate the distinctions you are making. It's not of concern to me that my views are not widely shared as I am not of this current generation nor from Virginia or even the East Coast. I don't think that I have the wrong impression about UVA's lacrosse players, though. From what I have learned, "Sunday Funday" seems to guarantee that most of them are drunk as lords at least every weekend if not many other nights throughout the week. Sad. My dad had a little rhyme that explained this boorish country club behavior: "Good looks, education, and money are often wasted on the slow. So, all things in moderation, honey -- and moderation is the first to go." Mr. Observer, you did not explain how a 6'2" drunken lout could smash the face of a 5'4" woman without knowing it would result in serious injury for the woman. How could he not know that he had seriously hurt her?
I have not read accounts of his interview that indicate GH is slurring his words. As described, he seems to be pretty well put-together. One site mentions that the police leave him unattended for several moments during which he picks his nose, stares, passes the time without apparent agitation. There is no proof of him punching her in the face? Really? I do not think there is any way YL could have given herself a black eye (which Huguely himself mentions) or hit herself in the eye so hard that it was swollen shut (as a juror who saw the photos described). GH, with 209 lbs, behind him, gave her 117-lb. frame a beat-down and yet he seems not to know that she is even hurt. It's amazing.
Katey - you are of course entitled to your own opinions. But, not your own version of the facts.
As to the slurring, see the story in the Charlottesville daily newspaper, The Daily Progress. Since you found The Hook from outside Virginia or "even the East Coast," you should be able to find the DP story. Even though "you are not of this current generation," you seem to be pretty good with the internet.
Entrapment? Wha??
I do not condone GH actions at all. He is a violent and abusive man with a drinking problem. But I do believe it is possible for an extremely intoxicated 200+ lb violent and abusive man to be so drunk to have not fully comprehend or process the extent of the damage he did to her. He was a big dumb animal that night. It's tragic and so awful that he could have just called 911 and she would have likely lived. He was a rough man who was rough with women when drunk. Despite that, no way did he want her dead.
Katey Sue, Not saying he didn't necessarily do so, but there are a number of ways to get a black eye without having been punched.
Hope for Yeardley - But I do believe it is possible for an extremely intoxicated 200+ lb violent and abusive man to be so drunk to have not fully comprehend or process the extent of the damage he did to her. - While this may be true, please clarify that you are not trying to make an excuse for him...thus your comment of "I do not condone GH actions at all." Being drunk is no excuse for any bad action.
Opps, sorry Hope for Yeardley, I just saw the above post you were referring to....Gallipoli1915 apparently didn't read the article in which the video tape stated he was advised of his rights.
Really?!?!?! "there are a number of ways to get a black eye without having been punched." Really?!?!? I am not an experienced bruiser, but I'm at a loss for alternate realities that explain the damaged eye, damaged eye socket -- indeed, the battered face of Yeardley Love that was described by a juror who said he would never be able to forget that image.And being as drunk as others say would mean that GH would not have been able to return to his apartment and lie to his buddies about where he had been nor would he have been able to estimate how long it took to beat her to death -- 8 to 10 minutes, it coincides with every other timeline I have been able to find -- being as drunk as some claim he was would mean that he would not have the crystal clear recall that he seems to have. I'll agree that GH may not have planned to kill YL, but he did think there was nothing wrong with giving her a brutal beating. "Drunken lacrosse player" is not a defense. Given what we have all learned about UVAs lacrosse players, drinking is a way of life. They build tolerance through practice, practice, practice. GH was a skilled drinker, more skilled than most. No, soothsayer, there are not many other ways to achieve YL's battered face beyond the application of a fist.
Hi Onwidit, no worries, and to clarify, no way do I give him an excuse. I was responding to the question / comments Katey Sue and others have around "how did he not know the damage?!?"...I'll tell you how, because his brain was completely soaked to the core with alcohol.
His actions caused her death and for that he should be held responsible, but her death was not premeditated.
Katey Sue,
Have you ever met or spoken with a UVA lacrosse player? Have you ever even talked with someone who has? Or do you just form all your opinions about UVA lacrosse players past and present from online articles you've read about the Huguely trial?
I would respectfully suggest that you have no freaking idea what you are talking about.
Agreed. Yeardley Love's death does not seem to have been premeditated by her killer, George Huguely, although he seems to be undisturbed by any pangs of remorse for the beating he serveded to her. From the accounts I have read, he seems to be secure in his perceived entitlement to beat her, and he seems to be fairly confident that the authorities will believe that she hit her own head, blacked her own eye, and harmed HIM by shoving him into a wall! And what about the horrifying incident of her flinging a purse at him? GAH! She probably mussed his hair up good with that resounding blow.She really had it coming, huh?
Go home and sleep it off, Vaughn. Don't beat up your girlfriend on the way out, OK?
Katey, I do not agree that he had "crystal clear" recall. From the interrogation scripts I've seen, George was rambling, being liberal with some details while glossing over other details of the night. I am guessing he was still fairly intoxicated from the day prior (how I wish we could find out if they tested his alcohol level!!)
I also don't think he thought there was "nothing wrong" with giving her a brutal beating - his statements clearly make an attempt to downplay the force he used and his involvement with her injuries (accusing her of banging head, fish out of water, etc.) The guy was clearly not aware of how badly he injured her and fudging the story to make himself look better.
And one more thing, not sure what you mean by skilled drinker, but given his history with alcohol I would say he was decidedly NOT skilled at drinking - it caused him and others a lot of trouble, and it cost Yeardley her life.
So because I dont believe that all UVA lacrosse players are drunken louts who beat women it makes me a drunken lout who beats women? Very open-minded of you.
Like I said, you have no idea what you are talking about.
My apologies for missing the part about the rights. Hope for Yeardley, I was merely speculating. Of course GH was grossly out of line and in need of serious help.
Vaugh, I have no way of knowing who you are and you have no way of knowing who I am but -- as you meant to point out, perhaps -- words and actions paint a picture of a person's character. Reading about UVA's lacross players has been intriguing -- the ritual drinking at Boylan Heights, the drinking and golfing with dads at the country club, the late-night beer runs after a full day and evening of drinking. Oh, and the other UVA lacrosse players who were involved in incidents fueled by drinking. Oh, and the drinking and other seamy incidents involving the prep schools that feed players to the University of Virginia. It seemed to me, reading from this distance, that theculture of the UVA lacrosse team is heavily steeped in drinking. Vaughn, I'm a middle class person who grew up with parental lectures about controlling myself for good behavior, treating other people respectfully, meeting personal obligations to every group with which I am affiliated. It has struck me as odd that UVA's lacrosse team does not seem to know that their own reputations are affected by the people they hang around with. "Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas" as my mother used to say. The young men and women of UVA's lacrosse team seem to have been given every advantage in life -- George Huguely squandered his.Whether or not you are a lacrosse player, Vaughn, do not give GH an inch of comfort in your mind nor stoop to defend the indefensible. I have not seen the tape of his conversation with the police, but from what I have been able to learn, it does not seem that GH is feeling any guilt or remorse for the beating he knows he has given to the much smaller person, Yeardley Love. And, yes, from a distance, the drinking rituals of UVA lacrosse players look dirty and dangerous -- not that it matters what I think, Vaughn. I'm a total stranger to your world and your way of life, so I could never be included in a jury of your peers.
Not defending Huguely in any way. He's a despicable person. Just think you are painting with a very wide brush.
For the record, I'm middle-aged too and my athletic days are many years in the past. But I've had the privledge of interacting with a number of UVA lacrosse players over the last 20 years and the vast majority are nothing like what you are describing.
Well, take it up with the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun and The Hook and Time Magazine -- and the players themselves because nobody made up these stories out of whole cloth. As I said, I had a middle class upbringing pre-Title IX -- no prep schools for me, no scholarships to play a game that nobody else can even play, no nannies coming between my children and the big, wide world that has harshly judged many others for much smaller offenses. It is surprising to me that the lacrosse team thinks that the rest of us will not think less of them for the disgusting milieu they have created among themselves.Maybe they'll make adjustments when other people stop apologizing for them.
How many UVA lacrosse graduates end up working for the Secret Service I wonder...
Exactly, Gallipoli1915.
Katey Sue -- I am glad you are proud of your middle class up-bringing, probably like most of us commenting here, but you sure are quick to stereotype.
As Vaughn pointed out and you essentially admit, you have NO PERSONAL knowledge about UVa Lacrosse or lacrosse in general. In fact, I bet you have no personal knowledge about UVa, either. Yet you have obviously formed opinions about them based solely on what you read on-line. Really?? Most of my comments regarding the case have been attempts to correct wrong or incomplete reporting on the facts of this tragedy or on the applicable laws. Every medium I have read has been guilty of that.
As to Huguely's contrition or lack thereof -- you have no knowledge on that, either.
You don't know, for example, that lacrosse is the fasted growing sport in the country -- it's biggest growth is west of Mississippi. Or that in many of the hotbeds of the sport you are as likely to find plumbers' and firemen's sons and daughters playing the game as trust fund babies.
As I stated before, you are entitled to your opinions, even it they are misguided, but you are not entitled to your own facts.
Dear observer, I've cited my sources, now you cite your souces and after I check them out I'll believe you.Without them, I'll continue to believe what reputable online newspapers and journals have already reported: lacrosse is a sport for spoiled rich kids, of whom GH is just the saddest example.
Lacrosse is a richboy sport. It's like rugby: violence played by gentlemen
Kately -- your last post showed nothing more than a small mind. Good luck to you.
Here -- I'll let a professional like Katie Baker, who writes sports news over at Deadspin, handle it: http://deadspin.com/5530777/by-virtue-not-by-force-are-the-white-boys-of... (I don't think The Hook's rules allow me to post the final word, which rhymes with "sticks") As I say, it's not my world and I thank god for that. Interesting that I am singled out as small minded while the poster "Friedrich Nietzsche" dismisses lacrosse players more soundly than I do -- but Katey Sue is a woman's handle and women are not allowed to talk back to lacrosse boyz.
Sorry Katey -- FN is small-minded, too. As is anyone else who lacks personal knowledge and engages in stereotyping.
And, BTW, there you go again falsely relying on your narrow world view -- I am a woman . . . .
Nietzsche once said "God is Dead." I've news for him: "Nietzsche is Dead." - God
How can god tell?
Well he did come back from the dead didn't he?
There YOU go again, Observer, falsely relying on your own small world view. BTW -- have you any sources for your claims regarding the new, open spirit of lacrosse or are you relying on those brochures from the alumni association?
Who? Nietzsche?
No, Jesus Christ (aka God)
Why are people making this case a source for sociology?
Katey -- those who know the sport, and you clearly do NOT, have laughed about that Youtube video for years. It is certainly an indictment of you that you can't identify parody. But wait, the parody supports your opinion of lacrosse -- a sport you had never even heard of until you became infatuated with this tragic, yet salacious case.
But your feigned interest in hearing facts that counter your opinions, is belied by your failure to note positive articles on lacrosse that you must have run across on the journey that led you to Branford W.
Try googling "lacrosse fastest growing sport." If you actually take the time to read reports that don't support your view, you should come across one from the NYT on March 20, 2010. It includes the following quote:
"Varsity lacrosse has another potential benefit. According to the N.C.A.A., among freshmen entering school from 1999 to 2002, the graduation rate of lacrosse players was the highest among 17 men's sports and tied for second with gymnastics — behind skiing at No. 1 — among 18 women's sports."
Another search for your edification should include: "Inner city youth lacrosse programs."
Happy reading. Hope you're big enough to admit you learned something.
Why not make an analogy between lacrosse and the French Revolution of 1789? Circles, circles...
To say that something is "fast-growing" is meaningless. Even one lacrosse team in Kansas would be a 100% increase -- fast-growing indeed. "Inner city youth lacrosse programs" = scarce federal dollars going to graduates of UVA to stay involved in lacrosse. Not impressive. Why not admit that lacrosse is a sport for cossetted children of the rich, as Katie Baker notes in her article for Deadspin?
Someone's been reading too much John Stuart Mill...
Katey -- thanks for providing the answer to my last point above. But then again, I knew what that answer would be . . . .
" the graduation rate of lacrosse players was the highest among 17 men's sports and tied for second with gymnastics — behind skiing at No. 1 — among 18 women's sports"
Well lets see, there are two a man and a woman that did NOT graduate from UVA men's and women's team as I oberve.
There are also many on the team that have voiced their concerns. I love LAX and played it. It is real Native American sports.
When the boosters and donors become REAL men and women and tell the UVA admin.that donations will stop if the sport is about win at all cost, then the sport can be in glory.
Coaches are supose to be mentors. Not like pro-athelets that will sometimes flat out say, they are not role models.
Coaches are suppose to educate men and women in how to live with the sport as a way to reinforce life in day to day world.
They sure preach that they are educators and have the best interest when recruiting.
So, I think a civil jury will hold the coahes and admin to the very highest level.
AND, George after waving his rights told the police he got his wounds playing lacrose. George opened the door! In these tapes, he seems to be saying he got whipped playing or practicing, so....
It is fair game, no pun!
Let him spew about UVA, he seems to be a stand up guy, right? NOT!
Yes, of course -- I totally thought the YouTube video was a documentary. Of course I did. You're always right, except when you're wrong. Again, Katie Baker from Deadspin on the socilogical make-up of lacrosse teams: http://deadspin.com/5530777/by-virtue-not-by-force-are-the-white-boys-of... "By Virtue, not Force" -- now, THAT's catchy.

Young, feminine, flirty, and very Gossip Girl!
Zac was back with his Spring 2009 collection that showed his range, versatility, and top-notch tailoring. He mixed couture gowns with bathing suits, cocktail dresses with pant suits. Some silhouettes were sheer and very body hugging, while layered fabric on some pieces created a beautiful doll-like effect. They were gorgeous – perhaps some of my favorite pieces of the collection. I liked how the designer switched between the form-fitting silhouettes and the forthy, layered look. He certainly has a lot of imagination. I loved the pieces in the collection that channeled Alice in Wonderland meets Gossip Girl. It just had this feminine whimsy to it. I loved the costume turkey dress at the end, with its huge pink, white, and black flounce. It added the right tone of fun, drama, and panache to the collection.
I also enjoyed the live interview that Zac gave to the very charming Andrew Leon Talley on the runway after the show. It gave us insights into the mind of this wunderkind. Can't wait to attend his next show.

The MQ will use this thread for discussion. We have long discussed a story with an offspring of Jagar Tharn coming back and causing some of the issues you hear talked about in the early stages of Oblivion and that are mentioned in our lore timeline. The story revolves around Thadas Tharn who was raised by adoptive parents and one learned of his heritage after some sort of sabbatical. The PC gets involved with Thadas in some way and befriends him only to be faced with the task of having to destroy him in the end or watch Tamriel fall into chaos as his former friend goes mad and power hungry.
This synopsis does not have to be what we use for the MQ. This thread can be used to come up with an entirely different story or change the story of Thadas Tharn dramatically. Either way we need to come up with a story that can be told in game and not be predictable or seen a thousand times.

Oh dearest, what a beautiful feast and it has been so long since I have had a Fall dinner party!!!! IT IS SO GOOD TO SEE YOU!!! THANK YOU for always coming with kind words and encouragement! Now tell me, how is the art coming along for you????? You had mentioned my Etsy shop. Well, the first two weeks were UNBELIEVABLE! I was selling to the point that I could not keep up, and NOW.....NOTHING! DAY SIX MARKS another day of no sales. BUT I think I am learning from dear friends that this will happen and I need to come up with a holiday offering. My blog post was a poetic musing on how I am growing wings ONLY by exercising the necessary PLANS to make my dreams into reality. IT is all so new to me, but after I do what is necessary to make my work MORE VISIBLE, then I will see if it is going to be successful. But I am willing to try. I wish you great happiness and success and that every day will be an opportunity for you to take one step closer to what YOUR HEART DESIRES!!!! BIG HUGS, Anita

That is true, I grew up always going to holiday parties and events during December. And I've always thought of having my own traditions aside from the ones I grew up with.
Love the rustic theme! The center pieces, and favors are good DIY projects! Oh aside from serving soup in a pumpkin why not in a bread too!

I love Autumn because it seriously entices all the senses. I love the rustic colors, sounds from walking on fallen acorns/leaves and the smells like apple, pumpkins and cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon is my all time favorite smell.
An Autumn dinner party sounds like a fabulous and fun idea.

I am so sorry, it's right on top of Christmas so I know this is a big ask. Is there a kind L'Anna owner who would be prepared please to whip off the back panel and post a photo of the silicone hose arrangement in respect of its layout and connections with the pump and flow enter.
Anna has developed a problem and I fear will be out of action over Christmas without knowing the above.
Thanks so much and a very merry Christmas to all!

For a game in late September, the stakes couldn't be much higher for Ohio State and Wisconsin. The Buckeyes are riding a nation's best 16-game winning streak and positioning itself for a return to the BCS title game stage; the Badgers, aside from one controversial loss, is taking on the look of a team poised for a third consecutive trip to the Big Ten championship game.
Add in a primetime kickoff and 100 thousand-plus fans in the Horseshoe in Columbus, it should make for an electric college football atmosphere.
The Buckeyes, though, decided to add to that big-game atmosphere by inviting the best basketball player on the planet as its guest.
LeBron James, born in Akron and a dyed-in-the-wool Ohio State fan, will be on the OSU sidelines Saturday night at the request of head coach Urban Meyer. While he won't give a pregame speech as previously reported, Meyer is still ecstatic that a player he tried to recruit while on the coaching staff at Notre Dame — James was an all-state wide receiver in high school — will be at the Columbus stadium for what's easily his team's biggest game of the season thus far.
"Give me all kinds of LeBrons," Meyer said. "You just see the way he articulates, his look, the way he treats people, the focus. We use him in those leadership meetings we use, those videos, his face is plastered all over them. First of all, our guys all admire him. And the head coach really admires him."
James' connection to Ohio State runs deep. If he had not decided to go straight from high school as the No. 1 overall pick of the 2003 NBA draft, he likely would've played basketball for the Buckeyes. Earlier this year, James was given a locker in OSU's hoops locker room.

Carpet gets grimy, wood floors scratch and crack, and vinyl? Well, vinyl looks like vinyl. You have several choices when it comes to flooring, but no other flooring can match the durability, value and timeless look of ceramic tile.
Although quietly beautiful, ceramic tiles are deceptively tough. Ceramic Tile is extremely scratch resistant, temperature tolerant and stain resistant. Qualities you'll be hard-pressed to find elsewhere.
Ceramic tiles are also a cinch to clean; usually just a little light wiping or damp-mopping does the trick.
Tiling is an environmentally safe, natural choice for flooring. Ceramic tile lasts much longer than most other flooring materials, so over time there's less wasted money and materials. It's no wonder people turn to tile time and time again for their flooring needs.

Even more course options: Cross-registration
Returning to the questions blog readers asked me to cover this spring, Mirza is going to describe options for cross-registration. The opportunity to cross-register for up to a quarter of the classes a student takes toward a Fletcher degree is one of the factors that makes us say that no two students graduate with exactly the same curriculum.
One of the many great options at Fletcher is cross-registering at other graduate units of Tufts or Harvard University, or even beyond. (Keep in mind that MALD or MIB students are allowed to cross-register for four classes total during the two years at Fletcher.) With so many great higher education institutions in Boston, such cooperation and sharing of resources among different schools makes sense and you should by all means take full advantage.
Currently, in my second semester at Fletcher, I am taking two classes at Harvard — one at Harvard Kennedy School (Values, Interests and the Crafting of U.S. Foreign Policy) and one at Harvard Law School (Political Economy After the Crisis). They have both been challenging but intellectually rewarding, and have offered a slightly different perspective and learning environment from Fletcher. Combining such outside academic experience with the Fletcher experience has been, at least for me, extremely valuable.
Not everyone, however, will find cross-registering beneficial to their academic and professional path. For some, Fletcher offers exactly what they need, and this is perfectly fine. It can also be overwhelming to browse through hundreds of captivating courses at other schools, in addition to over a hundred amazing courses at Fletcher. Still, it is an option well worth keeping in mind as you think about the courses and fields that you'd like to pursue while in graduate school. One piece of advice is that you should not cross-register during your first semester at Fletcher. The incipient relationships that you form with your classmates are quite important, and you don't want to hinder that vital component of the graduate school experience. As you settle in, however, venturing outside of Fletcher and Tufts will not be a problem, and will likely add considerable value to your academic growth.
Like almost everything in life, there are pros and cons to cross-registering. Here are a few tips, based on my experience, to keep in mind should you wish to cross-register:
- A different perspective (Always a good thing.)
- A new network (Also always a good thing.)
- A better awareness of the many free events, lectures, and seminars in the area. (These are the activities from which you will learn a whole lot — really worth exploring, and Harvard offers a great deal of them, all throughout the academic year.)
- Harvard Square (It's quite lovely, but bring waterproof boots in the winter.)
- Access to the beautiful Harvard libraries (They are, indeed, quite nice.)
- Time spent traveling to Harvard Square (Not so bad, but in the rain and during midterms/finals… it can become a drag.)
- Group work taking place outside of Fletcher (So even more time spent traveling.)
- Conflicting class schedules between Fletcher and Harvard (Not usually a problem, but HBS especially can be tricky.)
- Nostalgia for Fletcher (It's true — we're all at Fletcher because we love it for one reason or another, so it's possible to start missing your "real" home even if you're away for just a short while.)
Overall, cross-registration is not a biggie, and there are so many great courses that it's worth at least a quick look to see if something strikes you. The rest is just logistics — a bit annoying, but not enough to prevent you from taking a great class. A quick note regarding MIT, Boston University, and other Boston-area schools: they do not participate in the official cross-registration process with Fletcher, but it's possible to take classes there with the instructor's permission and a couple of logistical "tricks." Feel free to talk to me about it if you wish to find out more — I'll be taking classes at both MIT and BU next year.

Alpina Hütte and Café Hauser (St. Moritz, Switzerland)
In St. Moritz, skiing takes a backseat to the social scene. Bogner-clad blue bloods down caviar and jeroboams of champagne at lunch, polo is played on the frozen lake, and Russian oligarchs touch down in G-Vs while their Ferraris and escorts are shipped in by train. It's only fitting, then, that the world's glitziest ski destination (sorry, Aspen) boasts equally extravagant nightlife. But donning a blazer and tie to swill Bellinis at Mario's Bar in Badrutt's Palace Hotel, or rubbing shoulders with Liz Hurley on the dance floor at the Dracula Club – a chalet-cum-late-night disco – will always feel more urbane than alpine.
So where's the actual après-ski scene? Rest assured, fearless drinker, it exists, just on a smaller scale than you'd expect from a resort with such a reputation. And that's probably a good thing. Between all the indulgent lunches and late-night clubbing, the jet set tends to take a break between skiing and dinner, leaving the post-ski partying to the locals.
For a good time, follow the ski instructors, who end their days in the slope-side cabanas at Alpina Hütte, a stone and timber cabin with a beach-like outdoor bar perched at 8,000 feet. Grab a stein of Calanda from the snow bar or split a Café Grischa, a liqueur-infused coffee that's so strong you might need to leave via helicopter evacuation rather than skis. Temper the booze with a plate of Bündnerfleisch (thinly sliced beef that's a local specialty) and thank us later.
Next up is Hotel Hauser. After a quick ski into town, you'll stumble (literally) onto this hotel's popular terrace – just look for all the red ski school uniforms swarming the tables. Set amid the luxury boutiques littering St. Moritz's congested center, Hauser's outdoor bar is an ode to its owner's Australian wife. Beer, Jagermeister, and Red Bull flow liberally, while the kitchen whips up slider-sized Kangaroo Burgers (believe us, their tastiness outweighs any guilt you'll feel for eating something so cute). Thanks to heat lamps and a friendly crowd, things stay lively until 7 p.m., when drunk ski instructors are forced to go home and change out of their uniforms or risk a 400 Swiss Franc fine from their employers.
As for you, it's time to retire, too. That ascot you packed isn't going to iron itself, good sir.

Public heated at meeting to keep West York police
Outsourcing offers tabled
There are concerns about the future of West York's police department. Its contract is about to run out with the borough, which received the first outsourcing proposals from a nearby department at a public meeting Monday night.
Public comment got heated for the first time at one of these meetings. In the crowd of about 100, there was a show of hands of who was in favor of keeping West York police officers. Only three hands did not go up.
In the end, the two proposals for police coverage, one from York city, the other from York Area Regional were tabled.
While council says the shopping made sense, a West York business owner who spoke Monday said the alternative is un-American.
"This is an emotional situation. Who is going to protect our children, who is going to protect our property, who is going to protect our county? And you want me to just sit idly by while you destroy West York? When you outsource police, next is the fire department, then the highway department. What left? The councilmen getting a paycheck to do nothing? That's not what this is about. This is about keeping West York West York," said Mike Stantzos, West York resident.
There was a loud cheer when the idea of a special election on the deal came up. The borough solicitor says that's unlikely and made even more unlikely Monday night because West York will keep its police officers at least for now.

Celebration dinner held at Water Street Landing
The Lewiston/Niagara-on-the-Lake Rotary Club celebrated 75 years of service to the community with a dinner on April 17 at Water Street Landing.
Club President Leslie Scibilia welcomed more than 40 representatives of community organizations, members, and past members from both sides of the border who have been positively impacted by club efforts. In attendance were representatives of several organizations who have recently received support from the club, including the Terry Fox Run in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the maternity department at Mount St. Mary's Hospital, the Heart, Love & Soul Food Pantry and Dining Room in Niagara Falls, and the Historical Society of Lewiston, among others.
Guests included the Niagara-on-the-Lake Lord Mayor David Eke.
In addition to spotlighting its works done in the local communities and around the world, Rotary Club Secretary Dr. Thomas Gerbasi presented the prestigious Paul Harris Service Award to Club Service Director Ronald Danielewicz of Youngstown. The award is named in honor of the founder of Rotary International and is presented to individuals for outstanding service to their club and community.
Rotary's main objective is service - in the community, in the workplace, and around the globe. There are 1.2 million Rotarians who make up more than 34,000 Rotary clubs in nearly every country in the world and share a dedication to the ideal of "Service Above Self."
In the local community, the Rotary Club has assisted the libraries and historical societies in both Lewiston and Niagara-on-the-Lake; has provided defibrillators and other necessary equipment for the Lewiston Police Department; and offered support for the coffee cart for patients, staff and family members at Mount St. Mary's while also providing funds for a new transport crib for newborns at the hospital's Center for Women. In addition, the Rotary Club continues the fight against cancer by supporting the Terry Fox Run in Canada and the Relay For Life in the U.S.
A large number of international events are also supported by the organization, including young professional exchanges in India and the Netherlands, and an annual medical mission by local health care providers to Chiapas, Mexico.
The LNOTL Rotary Club meets every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at Water Street Landing in Lewiston. For additional information on the group, contact Ron at 716-870-1307. Community members are always welcome to visit the LNOTL Rotary Club.

It was just a week ago that Techdirt warned about a new "Snooper's Charter" that would be rammed through the British Parliament in record time. As feared, that has happened, and the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill -- DRIP to its friends -- has received the Royal Assent and is now law in the UK. That's the bad news; the good news is that the fight back has already begun. Today, the UK's Open Rights Group (ORG) announced that it would be challenging DRIP in the courts:
Originally Published: Fri, 18 Jul 2014 22:35:49 GMT
Quote:Whilst Parliament swallowed Theresa May's tired arguments that "terrorist plots will go undetected" and "these are powers and capabilities that exist today", she failed to make a compelling argument that holding everyone's data is necessary and proportionate. Frankly, the Government was evasive and duplicitous, and they were in a hurry to cover their tracks.Although that's hugely welcome, it's not surprising: bringing these kinds of cases is very much why ORG was set up. The following, though, is unexpected:
Tom Watson MP described the process as "democratic banditry, resonant of a rogue state. The people who put this shady deal together should be ashamed."
And the European Court's decision was very clear: blanket data retention is unlawful and violates the right to privacy.
The courts will have the final say on whether DRIP breaches human rights. And no matter what David Cameron believes, the UK has international obligations. The European Convention on Human Rights, the European Charter of Fundamental Rights and our own Human Rights Act -- all exist to defend our rights and are where we will be able to challenge DRIP.
And that's what we will do.
Quote:As the controversial Data Retention and Investigation Powers Bill (DRIP) slips its way through the House of Commons and into the House of Lords, the outspoken boss of broadband ISP Andrews & Arnold (AAISP), Adrian Kennard, has promised to use "all practical legal means" in order to protect their customers from state sponsored Internet snooping.Now, that may just be one ISP, but the example of iiNet in Australia, which has been fighting on behalf of its users there for years, shows what can be done. It would be nice if more UK ISPs did the same, but even if they don't, it's likely that others will join the fight against DRIP and its undemocratic passage through the UK Parliament, given the outrage this has caused -- in some quarters, at least.

> The Brewers had their chances on Thursday night, but in the end could not capitalize in a 3-0 loss to the Padres. They wasted a good start from Jimmy Nelson (4-3, 3.51 ERA), who rebounded from his worst start of the season against the Reds and posted arguably his best start. He went eight innings– his longest start of the year– while giving up two runs on just five hits. Nelson walked one and struck out five.
He received no help from his offense, however, which was stymied by a dominant James Shields (2-5, 3.12 ERA). The Padres righty scattered seven hits across seven scoreless innings while walking one and striking out nine.
The respective staff aces exchanged zeros through the first three innings before the Padres broke through against Nelson in the fourth. Wil Myers led off the inning with a single and then stole second base. Nelson rallied to record two outs and had a way out of the inning, but Melvin Upton Jr. dashed those hopes with an RBI single. The only other run against Nelson came in the seventh on an Alexei Ramirez sacrifice fly. Upton gave the Padres some more insurance in the ninth inning with a solo home run off Tyler Thornburg.
> The Crew certainly had opportunities against the Padres, but Shields managed to put out the fire in every situation. The Brewers' most promising rally came in the sixth, when they had runners on first and third with one out thanks to singles from Jonathan Villar and Scooter Gennett. However, Shields managed to induce a Ryan Braun double play to escape unscathed. That was one of three double plays San Diego's defense turned behind Shields, which definitely helped his cause.
> Milwaukee acquired right-handed reliever Jhan Marinez from the Rays last night in exchange for cash. Marinez has logged nine total big league innings since he debuted back in 2010. He has appeared in the Majors with the Marlins (2010), White Sox (2012), and Rays (2016) and has allowed three runs (3.00 ERA) in that small sample size. He's logged a 4.00 ERA across 432 1/3 in 11 minor league seasons, including a 3.63 ERA in 178 1/3 innings at Triple-A. Marinez features just two pitches in his arsenal: a fastball that averages around 95 MPH and a mid-80's slider. However, he has posted some encouraging stats during his long minor league career, including a 9.8 K/9 as well as a 25.1% strikeout rate. Conversely, Marinez has also shown control issues, with a career 5.3 BB/9 and 13.5% walk rate in the minors.
In a corresponding move, the Brewers designated left-handed reliever Michael Kirkman for assignment. Milwaukee claimed Kirkman off waivers from the Padres last week and he made just one appearance in a Brewers uniform, allowing a run in an inning.
It'll be interesting to see if Marinez can hold down this final Brewers bullpen slot, which has been somewhat of a revolving door since the season started. Ariel Pena was rewarded the roster spot out of spring training, but was DFA'd after a disaster appearance on opening day against the Giants. Lefty Sam Freeman replaced him for a time, but he was also DFA'd after posting an ERA over 12.00. Kirkman most recently vacated the slot prior to Marinez.
> Will Smith will throw off a mound today for the first time since he tore is LCL towards the end of spring training. If that goes well, he'll begin a throwing program. However, if he continues to struggle with the injury, surgery, which Smith has attempted to avoid at all costs, might be inevitable.
> The Rangers signed former Brewers starter Kyle Lohse to a minor league deal today.
> Nelson's start against the Padres is the longest of any Brewers starter so far this season.
> Despite going 1-for-4 last night, Braun remains fourth in the Majors in batting average at .376.
> The Brewers outhit the Padres eight to seven last night. Upton had three of San Diego's seven hits and was responsible for most of the damage.
> Gennett went 2-for-3 in his first start since coming off the disabled list.
> With his start against the Brewers last night, Shields has faced all 30 big league teams.
> The Brewers will hope to even up this four-game series tonight at 7:10 p.m. CT. Junior Guerra (1-0, 6.00 ERA) will take the mound for the Crew for his third career start. He's allowed four runs over six innings in each of his first two starts this season. San Diego will counter with Christian Friedrich (0-0, -.– ERA), who will be making his Padres debut. In two career starts against Milwaukee, both of which came with the Rockies, Friedrich is 0-2 with a 6.39 ERA.

How much do Alvin Community College graduates earn after graduation?
The value of a degree from Alvin Community College appreciates over time. Seven years after graduating, the average salary for Alvin Community College graduates is $33,700. That's higher than the national average! This number only increases in subsequent years. After nine years, the average salary for Alvin Community College graduates is $39,000 per year.
What is Alvin Community College graduation rate?
Graduation rate gives you an idea of how much a school invests in the success of its students. The more students who graduate, the more likely those students are to have received all the academic support they needed during their studies. What's more, an impressive graduation rate decreases the chance that you'll have to study for longer than you expect.
NaN% of students at Alvin Community College graduate from a bachelor's degree program within 150% of the normal completion time, which is six years. This is a reasonable time frame for completing a bachelor's degree program.

I have always felt compelled to attend the memorial service of friends and family that held a place in my heart. I don't particularly like it but I feel the compulsion to show my respects for the dearly departed. In the past few years I have had individuals in my own family who passed away and I chose not to attend their service. To the great chagrin of the still living members of my family. My reason for not attending- I did not respect the person and what they stood for. Is this a valid excuse to be a no show? Unfortunately my decision has created what looks to be a permanent rift in my relationship with certain members of my family. 'To thine own self' be true has always been a tenet I have tried to follow. Listening to a memorial service about someone who you have good reason to not respect seems to fly in the face of being true to oneself. Is this a selfish attitude?
Views: 664
To whom are you showing respect? The person in the casket will never know or have need of it. It is to the living that we really show respect, so I would think that if you respect those who now grieve, then it is they you should be in attendence to support.
I am not sure the fact that the deceased will not be cognizant of my presence is a valid reason for one to be absent. With your logic if one did not know the deceased's family members then there is really no reason to attend. So I guess my attendance, which is predicated on respecting and caring for the departed, is for my own benefit and closure as others have alluded to.
That is not the logic I am using for ALL funerals. Of course if you care about the deceased you could go despite knowing no one else there, but that is not the scenario you presented. There is no single reason why one should or should not attend a funeral. I was merely giving you a reason why you could or should go.
My point was that if people you care about are affected and your presence would be comforting to them, then it isn't necessary that you know, care, or respect the person in the box. If you can help people you care about cope with a loss that they feel, then why wouldn't you?
I'd like to add that if you really do not want to attend the funeral, then that is a valid enough reason to abstain.
I came to say pretty much what Reggie just said. Funerals are for those who are grieving. And even some of those who are grieving can have mixed feelings, too.
I too would have to agree with Reggie.The guy in the box doesn't know you were there. Funerals are for the ones left behind. If you had no respect for the deceased, I agree, stay away.I would assume grieving families looking to be comforted by kind words would likely not be up for hearing negative things about the deceased. As to not attending your father's funeral, you obviously have some personal issues that may be at the root of your question.I really hope this post helps resolve them.
I've attended way too many funerals in the last two years. Two of them were brothers of my stepmother, and I wasn't close to them and didn't know them very well. I attended their funerals (about a year and a half apart from each other) because I wanted to support my stepmom, who I love very much. So I think that it's important to attend in order to support the people who are very affected by the death, even if you didn't care for the person or know them very well. I know from experience that when someone you love dies, it is very nice to feel encouragement, sympathy and love from others.
When I was a teenager, a classmate OD'd. He was a guy people never really talked to. I was confused at the response of everyone in our class. People who had never even given him the time of day were suddenly grief stricken, crying, and telling stories about how amazing he was and how they once rubbed elbows with him in the hallway. Almost my entire class took the day off to attend his funeral. I didn't. That situation really stuck with me.
My mom LOVES funerals. No, really. She will offer to go to any funeral with anyone, even funerals for people she'd never met. I don't understand that at all. I rarely attend funerals regardless of relation. I won't be attending my father's funeral.
I even joke about how much I'd like to have a VIP list and a bouncer at my own funeral. "Oh, I'm sorry Mr Smith. It says here you hadn't spoken to Jewelz for 10 years except to call once in a while to ask for money. You're not on the list. Next."
In the case of, say, the death of one of my children's friends, I would certainly take them to a funeral if they wanted to attend. And if someone needs me to go with them, I would probably go. Other than that, I feel that if I didn't respect someone during their life, I'm not going to put on a fake show of respect after they're dead. Honesty is too important to me. Apparently you and I are on the same page.
"I won't be attending my father's funeral."
My situation as well.
I have often wondered at the tendency for people to treat the deceased as a saint even if they actively disliked the person in life. Why do people people put on a fake show of sympathy just because someone has died? If they were assholes before, don't pretend different just because they passed.
I think children are susceptible to melodrama when it comes to death. They not only feed off eachother, but they likely don't know how to feel or act when a peer dies. I have had a few peers die at various stages of my youth and witnessed that very thing to varying degrees.
When adults do it, it may be a way to gain attention or enjoy fellowship, though I couldn't say for sure. I know that I have never felt compelled to become panegyrical over someone simply because I am at their funeral.
Funerals give you a chance to support the other friends and relatives of the deceased, but perhaps just as importantly they give you a chance to get closure. Even as an atheist there is something about collecting your thoughts about the person, and saying a final "goodbye" (albeit in your own mind) that helps get you through the grief process.

PALATKA, Fla. – A 20-year-old convicted Tuesday of first-degree murder in the June 2010 robbery and murder of a Crescent City man was sentenced to life in prison without possibility of parole.
A Putnam County jury found David Martinez guilty after hearing evidence in the stabbing death of Zenovia King. He was also convicted of robbery with a deadly weapon.
A second man charged in King's slaying, Demarkis Phillips, 19, pleaded guilty in August 2011. He was also sentenced on Tuesday by Circuit Judge Carlos Mendoza. He received 23 years in prison to be followed by 10 years of probation.
Assistant State Attorney Jason Lewis said Martinez fatally stabbed King several times in the neck and upper torso with a knife. After the robbery, the defendants split the victim's property, including some marijuana, and dumped his body in a wooded area.

Couldn't a happened to a nicer guy...at this point you think people will start saying "...You mean THE Ward Jenkins?" when you tell them your name?...I always felt THAT was when you know you're bigger then you think.ReplyDelete
Very nice, very nice. This sort of interview should be read by every bonehead kid sitting in a high school guidance counselor's office debating whether or not to waste their parent's money at SCAD. One of the most telling aspects of Ward's artistic sensibilities, from my perspective, is his passion for the work, the sort of passion that is pivotal for sucess. Ward really IS one of those "I draw because I must" types, and it shows in the quality and variety of his work. Today's commercial art student cannot choose art simply as a passing fancy; the competition is simply too brutal.ReplyDelete
Ha! Thanks, forlackofbetter—but I'm afraid that this will never happen to me. Animators are notorious for being shy and bashful. I think.ReplyDelete
Pope: With what honor do I have to receive such a nice comment as this? Are you sure this is THE Robert Pope? Seriously, big thanks for your kind words, my man. I'll print your comment out and carry it around with me all day, putting it under my pillow at night and chanting the words five times a day for 40 days.
Oh, and you're so right—the competition is indeed brutal out there.
Hey, random artist guy here. I just wanted to say that I've been following your blog for a few months now (I don't remember where I got the link from) and I wanted to thank you. Your work (especially the greaffiti and character design) as well as the older work you spotlight has definitely had an effect on my own work. Thanks for keeping eyes open and giving them more to see.ReplyDelete
You never cease to impress me.ReplyDelete
I'm proud to be your friend.
Niiiiiiice, Ward!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your spotlight moment with Design Inspiration.
I think you're Doug's "secret weapon", much like you say Andrea is yours!
I admire you for juggling everything you do – successfully!
T: Thank you very much for your nice words. I'm glad to be of some service for others out there who are doing their thang. Thanks for visiting the blog—I hope I don't ramble on too much!ReplyDelete
Slim: No, YOU never cease to impress me. Thank you for your friendship throughout the years. It's one of my neccessities.
Justin: I think Doug's "secret weapon" up and left this place and is now living in New York City....! Thanks alot for leaving, buster! I do juggle far too many things in my life right now, but not so sure about the "successfully" part. Still working on it.
Thanks again guys.
Ephemera. That's pretty.ReplyDelete
Congrats Ward!
Ya wanna do an interview on MY blog now?
No?...Yeah, I didn't think so
Hey Ward, good interview. Funny to see you in different 'look' to your PROFILE pic!!ReplyDelete
Yeah, kinda funny, huh? That profile image was just me being silly with some 70's big-frame shades that Andrea found thrifting. You can check the photobooth pic here, if you're curious.ReplyDelete

This article is about an entity that either no longer exists or that may no longer be active in solar cooking promotion. It is retained here for archival purposes.
I am traveling around the world and trying to teach people in poor communities how they can build their own solar thermal technology. I am currently working on homemade solar thermal powered car that my girlfriend and I will use to continue your trip around the world. We are hoping the solar thermal car with its large mirrors will create interest in people to build their own solar thermal cookers.
News and recent developments[edit | edit source]
- Aug 29, 2013, Solar thermal powered car update, sun tracking complete and moving to a bigger test model- I have successfully tested sun tracking on my small solar thermal model. The sun tracking used the same controller, sun sensors, program and switches that will be used on the full scale solar thermal car. The sun tracking can move in both directions to track the sun while the car is driving. This video shows the sun tracking being tested outside. I have now completed all the testing possible on the small model (1ft by 2ft mirror). I will now be building 6ft wide 2ft long mirror model. This model will allow me to test parts in full scale for the solar thermal car. I can test sun tracking, glass vacuum tube insulation, oil pumping, salt heat storage, steam boiler, steam turbine and much more in full scale. I can test the temperatures the solar car will be able to produce. The power I get from the test stand will allow me to calculate the power for the solar thermal car. The picture of the larger test stand does not include the mirror that will be curved to the supports. Many different types of mirrors will be tested to find the best one for the solar thermal car.
- June 21, 2013 Baking bread by focusing light on a pipe using tin foil – I started by looking at the large solar thermal trough power plants. I thought: why can I not build small versions of this using cheap material? Using wood I was able to build a 0.66 m^2 aluminum foil mirror solar thermal device. I just used a metal fence post that I found lying around to absorb the concentrated heat from the sun. All I had to do was paint the pipe with high heat flat black spray paint. I really think this could be built in third world countries for very little money. I got two pop cans that I used to cap the ends of the pipe. When I pointed it into the sun and the pipe heated up to 162c, in less than 15 minutes. I then got the idea to cook a long piece of bread in the pipe. I made a small batch of bannock bread. I made a long piece of dough and lay it on tin foil and slid it into the hot pipe. In about half an hour the bread was baked just like it would have been in the oven just without using any fuel or electricity.
- June 1, 2013: Boiling noodles using the sun, and materials found in the garbage - I am currently in La Paz, Mexico testing different applications and building material for solar thermal devices. For this project I wanted to build a solar cooker using only garbage. I found some strong cardboard in the garbage as well as a cereal box and a small piece of plywood. I cut out two parabola shapes from the thick cardboard and then bend the cereal box to form a curved surface. I covered the cereal box in tin foil (I have also used chip bags which work well) to focus light on a spray can or pop can. The video is shown below. Then in order to create a small oven I cut a section out of a large pop can. I painted the pop can with high heat flat black paint. I kept the cut out section and painted it black and insulated it with silicon. I glued four small pieces of pop can to this lid to prevent it from falling into the can. When placed on the can it formed a nice insulating lid. I also covered both ends of the pop can with additional silicon to provide more insulation. As a test I filled up the pop can with a small amount of water and cooked a hand full of spaghetti. I also baked a small amount of bread in this unit. I used this test to prove to myself that a useful solar cooker can be made almost exclusively out of garbage. I then moved back to my much larger solar unit to further explore all the uses for solar thermal.
