Brush with death is a wake-up call

Larry Gray is a 54-year-old ex-Marine who was in Vietnam. His life is wrought with near-death experiences. Larry, who is my niece Lisa's husband, sat in our living room this week, talking about his life and the brushes with death that he has had. He recently came from the hospital; most it spent in ICU, where he was for two months, having faced another near death experience. This time he says it was a wake-up call for him.
When Larry was 6 years old, he was traveling with his daddy and his grandpa somewhere in West Texas. He remembers it was night, and he was in the back seat by his grandpa, lying down on the seat, and even though he was so young, he remembers looking up at the full moon in sky. Then he may have fallen asleep because the next thing he remembers there was a loud crash and he was out side the car, tumbling over and over again, on the ground.
He had been thrown from the car, out into a plowed field, and his head hit a stump, or something, he says, and he stopped tumbling. Then he remembers his daddy and grandpa calling his name, from way far off. He saw the headlights of the car, and the shadows of his grandpa and daddy in the distance. He jumped up and ran to them across the field crying. Larry was okay, except from that night on he began to stutter in his speech. His mother took him to doctors and they could not do anything for him.
Larry graduated from Highland High School in San Antonio and joined the Marines when he was 18 years old. He was in the infantry and went to Vietnam. He tells us about another time he should have been killed.
They were in a trench far out it the field in Vietnam. The trenches were just wide enough for one man and about 8 ft. long. They started getting rockets coming in from the enemy. Larry ran and jumped in a trench. He got down, and then he heard rocket hit and go off. A rocket hit right beside him in the trench. But it didn't explode! It turned out to be a "dud". It wasn't his time to go, Larry said.
He had another brush with death in later years. Then he was living out in the Hill Country near Boerne. He was on his motorcycle on a winding road. It was nearly dark and all of sudden a large deer jumped out it front of the motorcycle. He just had time to grip his hands and his arms hard, on the handlebar of the cycle as he hit the deer broadside. The motorcycle flew over the deer, when it hit, and the deer was dead. He was still on the motorcycle. It had landed several feet on the other side and the cycle was nearly demolished, but Larry stood up not badly hurt at all. Just some scrapes and bruises.
As Larry thoughtfully stared at the floor, he turned and looked at me, and stated that he had three friends who had been killed on motorcycles. And one was when he hit a deer. I could tell he was thinking: "Why had God spared his life?"
Two months ago Larry got up one night to let the cat out. He fell down a flight of stairs that night, and lay in a pool of blood when finally Lisa who was asleep, woke up and heard him calling her name. He broke five ribs and his nose, but wound up in the ICU. Larry's heart was not functioning right (he is on disability because of his heart), also developed kidney failure and pneumonia, then being put on a respirator, was in critical condition, and we didn't know if God was finally going to call him home.
But God intervened again, and with the doctors and nurses taking care of him, he lived and is slowly gaining his strength back. Larry said to me that day in our living room, when he fell down the stairs, it was a wakeup call for him. I think he realizes that God wants him to make the most of the rest of his life. There were too many times that he should have died and God saved his life. He doesn't just want him to sit around the house and do nothing. He is excited about life now. He is thinking of what it is God wants him to do.
The first thing Larry and Lisa are going to do is take a long needed vacation. Lisa is a 2nd grade school teacher and these last two months have been draining for her too. She spent April and May teaching school, and then going to the hospital when she got off work. She didn't know if Larry was going to make it this time. It has been long days and nights for Lisa.
Bon voyage, Larry and Lisa! Hope you have fun in Cancun!

Geoducks Snap Six-Game Skid
September 23, 2005
Olympia, WA - The only thing sweeter than your first game win: your first match win. After an hour and a half of play, The Evergreen State College Geoducks pulled out their first volleyball win of the season.
Taking the first two games to get warmed up, Evergreen ordered up a five-game win over the visiting Warner Pacific Knights: 29-31, 25-30, 30-16, 30-24, 19-17.
The Geoducks win handed the Knights their eighth loss of the season and their sixth conference loss. Previous to tonight's match, Evergreen was sitting on a six game losing streak and at the bottom of the Cascade Conference standings, along with Warner Pacific. After tonight's match, the Geoducks have inched up a notch in the standings and are looking to turn the corner in the first half of the season.
Leading the Geoducks in the statistics were Mattie Blevens and Elyse Johnston, each with 12 kills. The sophomore/senior duo added to Evergreen's total 52 kills on the night, a number also matched by Warner Pacific. Katey Carpenter led the Knights in kills with 17. Evergreen's Chelsea Jacobson matched Warner Pacific's Kaylee Stone with assists, at 38 a piece.
The Geoducks host Cascade College Saturday evening at 7 p.m. The Thunderbirds are currently sitting on a 2-7 overall record, 1-5 in conference.

Bill Murray, in full William James Murray (born September 21, 1950, Wilmette, Illinois, U.S.), American actor best known for his trademark deadpan humour on television's Saturday Night Live and for his film roles.
Murray, one of eight children, began his acting career on the National Lampoon Radio Hour (1975) alongside fellow comedians John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd. From 1977 to 1980 Murray performed on NBC's Saturday Night Live comedy sketch show, on which he popularized a seedy, shifty comedic persona. He launched his film career with a string of commercial hits, including Meatballs (1979), Caddyshack (1980), and Stripes (1981). In 1984 Murray starred with Aykroyd and Harold Ramis in Ghostbusters, which became one of the highest-grossing films of the decade.
A run of unsuccessful films led Murray into a self-imposed hiatus until he directed and starred in Quick Change (1990). After playing a burned-out weatherman in the existential comedy Groundhog Day (1993), Murray began tackling more thoughtful and challenging film roles, including supporting roles in Tim Burton's Ed Wood (1994) and Wes Anderson's Rushmore (1998).
In addition to earning an Academy Award nomination, Murray won a Golden Globe Award and a British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Award for his role as a washed-up American actor visiting Japan in the acclaimed film Lost in Translation (2003). The depth and sensitivity of his performance surprised critics and solidified his place as an accomplished dramatic actor. Murray also earned critical acclaim for his performance as a longtime bachelor who reexamines his romantic choices in Jim Jarmusch's Broken Flowers (2005).
After Rushmore, Murray appeared in several other films by Anderson, including The Royal Tenenbaums (2001); The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), in which he starred as a world-weary oceanographer; The Darjeeling Limited (2007); Moonrise Kingdom (2012); and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). He provided the voice of the sardonic cat Garfield in two commercially successful films (2004 and 2006) based on the eponymous comic strip, as well as the voice of a badger in Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), an animated film adaptation of Roald Dahl's children's book. Murray also took supporting roles as a funeral director in the whimsical Depression-era comedy Get Low (2009) and as a mobster in the thriller Passion Play (2010). In 2012 he starred as Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt in Hyde Park on Hudson, which focused on the president's private life during a weekend in 1939 when he entertained British royalty. He later played a member of the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFAA) unit, which recovered works of art stolen by the Nazis during World War II, in The Monuments Men (2014).

JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg boys tennis features a mix of new and returning players entering the 2014 season.
The Rams have just six players on the team as of the preseason. Nate Field, Tyler Martonik and Mason Walters are the returning players on the team while Brenden Dauber, Pranay Medapally and Zane Hodgdon are newcomers.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg track and field hosted Oswayo Valley and Port Allegany in a tri-meet Wednesday afternoon at Johnsonburg Area High School.
The Johnsonburg girls swept the meets. Johnsonburg won 113-29 over Oswayo Valley and 113-35 over Port Allegany.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg rebounded from an opening loss to Smethport with a 10-3 win over Kane Wednesday afternoon at Knothole Area Recreational Park.
"A little more life [yesterday]," Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson said. "I think the younger kids, I think they were really nervous [Tuesday], not that they weren't [yesterday]. It's a work in progress. Cole threw real well. We had a couple errors, I don't think they had an earned run again."
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Ramettes overmatched a young Kane Lady Wolves squad Wednesday afternoon in a 12-2 five-inning game at Knothole in Johnsonburg.
The Ramettes, comprised of student athletes from both Ridgway and Johnsonburg in the first year of a cooperative sports agreement, tallied 12 runs on 10 hits in the game.
Facing a three-run deficit early in Wednesday afternoon's game, the Elk County Catholic Crusaders rallied to defeat the Ridgway Elkers 5-3 in a contest that was the season opener for both teams.
It may have been overcast and a bit chilly, but both teams were happy to finally be on the field playing baseball.
"It's good to be outside," said ECC head coach Fr. Eric Vogt. "The third day of the year we're outside and we play a game. We got the win though."
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg baseball lost 7-3 to Smethport to open the 2014 season Tuesday afternoon at Knothole Area Recreational Park in Johnsonburg.
Miscues hurt the Rams in the season opener as Johnsonburg made four key errors which led to Smethport's runs. Three of those errors came in the outfield on relatively routine flyballs. Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson said he thought the outfield would be something that needs improved but expected better quality than what was displayed Tuesday.
The Ridgway varsity wrestling team was honored with a banquet Saturday night at Aiello Cafe in Ridgway.
Sam Delhunty was presented with the Bruno Iorfido Memorial Most Valuable Wrestler Award. Delhunty was 21-10 this season and finished with a 37-32 career mark.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg boys tennis opened the 2014 season at home against Bradford with the Owls taking a 9-0 victory over the Rams Thursday afternoon at Johnsonburg Area High School.
At No. 1 singles, Nate Field of Johnsonburg lost 2-6, 6-4, 5-10 to Cody Bly of Bradford. In the No. 2 singles match, Mason Walters lost 6-0, 6-7, 9-11 to R.J. Jordan of Bradford.
JOHNSONBURG – Johnsonburg varsity wrestling was honored with a banquet Wednesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
Varsity head coach Mike Votano expressed appreciation to assistant coaches Eric Iorfido, Bart Nelson, Beau Iorfido and Dylan Nelson.
Votano recognized the wrestlers. Alex Zimmerman won the Aaron Muroski Memorial Award and the Most Outstanding Wrestler award, the latter award won for the third time by the Johnsonburg seniors. Votano estimated Zimmerman's 4-year record at 85-17.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg junior high wrestling program was honored with a banquet Wednesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
Johnsonburg junior high wrestling head coach Tim Raubenstrauch spoke about the optimism in the program. He expressed appreciation to assistant coach John Norlin and Dan Carnovale along with the varsity coaching staff for all of their help.

EDMONTON - In a previous column, I noted that one can't speak of the growth and evolution of the California wine industry without mentioning the name Paul Hobbs. The same is true to an even greater extent with Hobbs's influence in Argentina.
Hobbs's thirst for a challenge, and a friendship with former University of California Davis classmate Jorge Catena, led him to Argentina in the 1980s. There he met Jorge's brother, Nicolas Catena, who wanted to change the way wine was being made in Argentina.
At that time, according to Hobbs, Argentina was at the bottom of the pile in terms of the quality of the wine being produced. The wineries were run down with outdated and broken equipment and the wines were "the worst I've ever tasted in my life."
But Hobbs was immediately impressed by the high-elevation vineyards in Mendoza and accepted the challenge presented by Nicolas to work with them to develop a program to raise the quality of the grapes in the vineyard and the winemaking techniques.
Catena wanted to focus on Chardonnay, and Hobbs went on to produce a wine that he entered into blind tasting at California's Simi Winery with a number of California Chardonnays and white Burgundies. The 1991 Catena Chardonnay finished in second place and launched Argentina's wine industry to the world.
Hobbs was also responsible for the first Malbec sold outside of Argentina. At the time, Malbec was held in very low regard, used predominantly in low-end blended wines. But Hobbs saw the potential in Catena's 80-plus-year-old vines, and improved viticulture techniques. The result? Alamos Malbec. Malbec has, of course, grown to become Argentina's signature grape variety, largely due to the influence of Paul Hobbs.
Vina Cobos Felino Malbec 2012, Mendoza, Argentina; $25; CSPC: 723907
Dark and vibrant with layers of blackberry, cherry, plum and raspberry with hints of spice, supple tannins and a bright, lingering finish. A blend of Malbec grapes from the higher elevation Uco Valley that provides some nice floral notes and the warmer Lujan de Cuyo; a nice match with lamb and bison.
Vina Cobos Felino Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Mendoza, Argentina; $25; CSPC: 723911
Approachable and fresh with bright blackcurrant, plum and mocha flavours, plush tannins and a round, elegant, concentrated finish. The grapes are all from Lujan de Cuyo. Perfect for grilled wild boar chops or a New York striploin.

- average/decentRalphDined on 7/4/2014Average decent restaurant. Good time. Food reasonable, not gourmet, prices appropriate. good service. We go there about once a month. Consistently satisfactory--never a problem.
- Orange Marmalade tooCactuspalDined on 6/15/2014Went for brunch on Father's Day. Had reservation and recommend reserving. One can sit at the bar. A fair number of customers with servers who were kept busy. Server quick to take our order but was quite a delay in receiving corned beef hash and an omelet, from another helper. A good idea for delivery, but not sure of the hold up since we were ahead of the later groups. Food served hot and was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Marmalade CafeYumyumVIPDined on 6/13/2014Great service and the food was okay. The server was very energetic and attentive to anything we needed. I ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup. The tomato soup was eh, they did not blend the herbs enough or the tomato skins were kind of stringy. Something was stringy and getting in the way of the good experience. The grilled cheese was amazing, I added the bacon and tomato which I recommend. My girlfriend had the cobb salad which was really good. I only had a couple bites but she seemed to also really enjoy.Special Features:
- Good mealdiningsbDined on 5/28/2014four for dinner, we sat on the patio off the parking area, did not notice the car traffic. The service was good and friendly. The food was good and ample swerving. Good value for the meal, priced well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Pre theater dinnerHikerValVIPDined on 2/26/2014Enjoyed drinks and food at the bar. Bartender was welcoming, friendly, and accessible. We enjoyed this first time visit to Marmelade Santa Barbara.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great PlaceAlecDined on 2/21/2014Great place, good food, would definitely go again.
- The best server in Santa BarbaraDragonslayerDined on 2/21/2014We were warmly greeted by our waitress/server named " Natice" She was Angelic and Efficient all at the same time. After she told us that she was from Kuai, everything clicked. Our food was hot and delicious. Her suggestion to try the Pot Roast was also right on the money. The restaurant is overall one of the best I've been to in 46 years of residing in the S.B./Goleta area. If you choose Saturdays to enjoy a delicious, well prepared dinner, then your dining experience will be enhanced by requesting "Natice" as your attentive serverSpecial Features:
- poor servicesueyDined on 2/14/2014Had been to Marmalade in past and enjoyed the food. However didn't return due to poor service Thought we'd give it another try. Unfortunately, the service was dismal, just pathetic. Sadly we will not be returning.
- Third Visit at MarmaladeelaineVIPDined on 1/11/2014This was our third visit at Marmalade and each time the food and service has been great! Particularly like the BBQ Chicken salad!Special Features:
- Saturday dragCzarMeVIPDined on 11/23/2013What a difference a location makes. This Marmalade Cafe - Santa Barbara was a horrible start to a weekend trip to SB. Service was...well what service. We barely saw our server. She barely showed her face to the table let alone actually serviced our meal. This is how much she didn't want to service the table...we were trying to pay but because she could not be found. We waited an additional 10 minutes for this process to complete. We had the check booklet sticking out from the table. She approaches to grab the book and says "do you need change??" She assumed we we'd pay cash and that is why she disappeared!? Wow! Horrible!Special Features:
- Great FoodelaineVIPDined on 10/4/2013We had been to Marmalade before and really enjoyed it so were delighted when I got an email offering me a 2-for-1 coupon for my birthday. We went last Friday night and had their Prime Rib special. REALLY good. Only thing I wish and that the meal included a salad.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- incredible servicerienmeVIPDined on 9/22/2013Food is always consistent as is the friendly, helpful staff, from the managers to the bussers.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Okay for a strip mallMikeyDVIPDined on 7/4/2013The fish and chips was pretty good bar the tasteless coleslaw. The lamb burger was way over done.
- Sadistic Starvation for BreakfastMoodyVIPDined on 6/29/2013We get to Marmalade, and the hostess doesn't even ask if we had a reservation, granted there was ample seating, but by courtesy she should have at least asked. We get seated, and order our food, and drinks, the latter gets there momentarily, the food, however, took what seemed like our entire morning, waiting, and waiting, and... it must have been at least half an hour until we were finally served our first breakfast dish. We ordered the pancakes as a desert, and the waitress said she had just put the order in, and it will only take about a couple minutes. 10-15 minutes later was finally when we got served our second course. The ambience is fine, the food is barely decent (ihop, dennys rank but twice the price), and the service is TERRIBLE!
- Last visit to Marmalade CafebiyahDined on 5/25/2013My Lobster dinner was good. Wasn't crazy about the location of our table. The service was just average. Server didn't listen to our requests very well. I might go back for the Lobster meal again sometime.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Marmalade is MarvelousOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/12/2013I've never had a bad experience at the Marmalade Cafe in Santa Barbara!We had a Baby shower for my Sister at the Marmalade Cafe in the Event room or Banquet room. The set-up was beautiful and so clean! The menu that Warren Butler put together for us was excellent. The food was great as usual and the service we received from everyone was absolutely amazing. They do everything for you!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely for lunchOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 3/3/2013Our food was very good and our waitstaff pleasant. I was a little disappointed that there was no acknowledgement of our daughter's 23rd birthday, as she is currently wheelchair-bound and I'd mentioned the birthday in advance when making the reservation online, as well as when we checked in. She hadn't been out since she was hit by a car (vehicle vs. pedestrian,) and I think that management should have let us know that the establishment doesn't do anything for guests' birthdays. We would have made arrangements for a special dessert. We're not looking for freebies, we just wanted our daughter to have a little pampering on her special day. We didn't eat outdoors, but the al fresco setup looked nice.Special Features:
- Very good food and service.CinCTVIPDined on 1/16/2013Very good food and service. Three of us had dinner here on Jan 16, 2013, starting at 5:30pm. I ordered mushroom soup, salmon and tiramisu from the "early bird" menu, and all were delicious and beautifully presented. Bottles of wine are half price on Wednesdays, but the Qupe I selected from the three syrahs on the wine list was not available. The Consilience was listed on the menu as a Sonoma County product, but the wine label said Sant Barbara County. I have been to Marmalade perhaps 10 times over recent years and will not hesitate to return.Special Features:
- My boneless short ribs dishscribbleDined on 12/31/2012My boneless short ribs dish was overly salty. My husbands chicken pot pie was un-appetizingly dry. The manager offered to put some more gravy on his dish, but that didn't help noticeably. Although the service was attentive, courteous, and prompt. Would recommend witgh some hesitation. This is not haute cuisine.Special Features:
- Great place for a family dinner007checkPleaseDined on 12/30/2012We really enjoyed this restaurant. Good food and fair prices. Recommend!Special Features:
- A Place for a Special EveningOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 12/29/2012The dinner menu had lots of options, including a range of interesting items to comfort food. The atmosphere was very friendly, comfortable and adequately casual without losing a sense of being a special evening. In particular, the service was outstanding (responsive, attentive and timely).Special Features:
- Our son visiting from LasOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 12/28/2012Our son visiting from Las Vegas and thought the food was great and the service was too.Special Features:
- Great service. We made reservationsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/15/2012Great service. We made reservations for a birthday lunch for five, celebrating the 81st birthday of my uncle. Two of our party including my uncle showed up an hour late (he was taking his DMV test), so we ate in shifts over a period of about 3 hours, sitting outside on the patio. Our server was very attentive throughout. She brought my uncle a nice birthday ice cream sunday with a candle and took pictures for us. Food was very good.Special Features:
- We were seated earlier thanConnieVIPDined on 9/3/2012We were seated earlier than our reservation and were grateful for that. The server was terrific, but there must have been a problem in the kitchen as our food was very delayed, and it was just breakfast food. The server and host apologized. Dining outdoors was a treat, though.Special Features:
- Made a reservation for a 6OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/28/2012Made a reservation for a 6 woman birthday gathering and the out door patio was perfect. Quiet enough to chat, the food was very good with a lot of variety and reasonably priced. The wait staff was professional and friendly. We'll be back!Special Features:
- Good restaurant.OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/25/2012Enjoyable dinner with family and friends. Surf and turf great. Service good.Special Features:
- I had a reservation for 7OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/22/2012I had a reservation for 7 for our department at work. We were very tight on time, so I decided to have everyone leave early for our lunch arrival. I had the advantage to call in our orders at 10AM and I was greeting warmly to that idea. Needless to say we had our meal shortly after we sat down and had 30 min to chat and travel back to the office.Special Features:
- Good brunch; careful ordering eggsOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 6/17/2012Service was somewhat slow- but was Father's day, so not too bad, but time between ordering and food arrival was noticeably long. Possibly led to food standing for a time before table delivery as the plates themselves were incredibly hot. Most of the food was good; perfectly cooked filet mignon, good hollandaise on salmon Benedict, but do not recommend ordering eggs-over-easy. Had to return two attempts after finding the whites of the eggs severly undercooked once the cooked surface pierced; yolk fine, but whites completely runny -difficult to understand how eggs could have been flipped given how under-set the whites had to have been to end up on the plate in that state. Ended up asking for scrambled. Waitress was a champ throughout.Special Features:
- Have only experienced breakfastOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/17/2012Have only experienced breakfast and it was absolutely delicious and the service at Marmalade is excellent. Would recommend to anyone looking for a great place to eat. Looking forward to having lunch and dinner there.Special Features:
- Everything was excellent!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/16/2012Everything was excellent! Excellent service, excellent food, excellent place! I would visit again!
- our lobster stew had a niceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/16/2012our lobster stew had a nice sauce, although very rich, but the lobster and shrimp were so tough you couldn't eat it. For a one night special, the cook should have done alot better. The appetizer (artichoke) wasn't nearly as good as at Stella Mare's- the sauce dull and boring.Special Features:
- We went for the Saturday specialOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/19/2012We went for the Saturday special and it was sold out. Second time we went for the special. Both times they were out.
- Our family had a very enjoyableOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/13/2012Our family had a very enjoyable lunch for Mother's Day, We loved the food and the service was great.Special Features:
- Great atmosphere, bad serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/8/2012Probably would have given a better review, if the wait staff had been more knowledgeable about what items on the menu were still in house. My wife ordered the Fried Chicken, and wasn't told for another ten or fifteen minutes that there was none. She then order the Shrimp Scampi but the shrimp tasted so fishy that she couldn't eat it. After informing the manager on duty, we were told that the chef had personally tried it and didn't think there was anything wrong. For future reference, it's never a good idea to basically tell your customers that they shouldn't trust their own taste buds. On the bright side the ambience is wonderful, and it's very quiet.Special Features:
- I've been to this MarmaladeCinCTVIPDined on 2/23/2012I've been to this Marmalade Cafe in Santa Barbara six or seven times over the past few years, generally for lunch. The food is consistently good and the service has varied from barely OK to very good, as measured by how long it takes to get waited on. On this visit I had the Reuben sandwich and mushroom soup and they both were excellent. Others with me were quite happy with their soup, crab cakes and salads. As a side note, this Marmalade does not have any beers on tap.Special Features:
- Very nice food carefully prepared.OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 1/19/2012Very nice food carefully prepared. I went with my 100-year-old mom and have not seen her eat like that in a long time! She really enjoyed her chicken Marsala.Special Features:
- When I requested a booth,OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 1/8/2012When I requested a booth, the hostess told me I was certainly welcome to sit in the open one. But she said there wss only one server taking care of the whole section and service would be slow. This was at 1:30 p.m. on a Sunday. I asked for a medium well ribeye and it was too well done and the accompanying fries were dry. I did not ask for a replacement as we were in a hurry. This establishment is no where near the quality of it's sister restaurant in Westlake. Very disappointing.
- Good standby with good foodScottDined on 1/7/2012Good standby with good food and a varied choice of menu items.Special Features:

A PitBull4 module which shows an arrow that points to raid members.
Q: Why does the arrow some times not work?
A: Players can be in different zones or different "levels" within a zone. When that happens, GetPlayerMapPosition() returns nothing.
Q: Why does the arrow not track mobs or enemy players?
A: The Blizzard people figured that'd be too OP. You just can't do that.
Q: How come the minimap can show me all that stuff?
A: The minimap is special, and has does a lot of stuff not available to the addon API.
- Shows an arrow that points to raid members.
- Make the moving of the arrow move the distance text with it.
- Add an option to make the arrow be a child of the unit frame instead of hard coding it to UI Parent.
Known bugs:
- None so far.
Reporting bugs:
- Please post bug reports here. While I monitor the comments on curse.com, it makes my life easier if bugs are reported in the wowace bug tracker.
- This video shows the addon in action, with some wonderful commentary by the author, his wife, children, and dog!

Entire movies compressed into single barcodes
Choice of color in a movie can say a lot about what's going on in a scene. It sets the mood, changes the tone, indicates a change in point of view, so on and so forth, which is why moviebarcode is so fun to click through. The concept is simple. Take every frame in a movie and compress it into a sliver, and put them next to each other. Voilá. Movie barcode.
The above is The Matrix, making it obvious when they're in and out of the system. Below are Kill Bill and The Social Network, respectively.
See dozens more on the moviebarcode tumblr, which is also selling these as prints.

Although people can come up independently with this idea, maybe it's good to give the guy credit who first came up with this, 10 years ago: Jason Salavon.
Here are some examples:
Thanks Steeph. I clicked over from the google reader feed to post the exact same thing
I had him as a professor for a digital art class that covered a lot of things relevant to this blog…particularily renderings of data in Processing
Here are a couple others:
This one: http://salavon.com/AmVar_Census/AmVar_Census.php
is from a commission for the Census Bureau. Obviously, his work as an artist is more on the artistic side than the data visualization side (this one is based on county population data…but it is certainly not a tufte-compliant representation of the data)
makes for a great PC wallpaper :)
I have a book by Brendan Dawes who, I thought, came up with this technique: http://www.brendandawes.com/
Saw him present at FlashForward 2006 in Austin, Texas
The earliest I saw something like this was at a presentation by someone (I don't recall the name) from Interval Research, around 1994 or 1995. I was working at Asymetrix on digital video editing software at the time. Both Asym and Interval were Paul Allen companies, and we (the tools folks at Asym) occasionally got some cross-pollenation from the research labs at Interval.
The application was fast scene selection and "video scrubbing" via slices like this–once you compress frames like this, it's easy to visually cut and paste scenes. The researcher showed how scene reordering could rewrite the plot of Terminator (similar to the faux trailers popular on YouTube nowadays).
interesting. I've used similar techniques myself to visualise editing cuts in TV programs, although the technique was well established long before I tried it.
There's an interesting parallel here with slit-scan photography. Flong.com has an interesting roundup of similar projects (mostly photographic, but some are pretty abstract).
Interesting to see how dark a lot of the movies look…
Shame that the interface does not allow collaborative annotation, it would attract droves of users and make the vizzes way more meaningful
I love the movie barcodes!
When and Where can I download the app that uncompresses the barcode and plays the movie on my Android or other mobile device? :-)
it seems a freaky work, but when you think deeper about it, it is a very good chromatic representation of the film. you can imagine the different scenes that compose it. great!
I love that Uma Thurman's yellow suit turns up throughout Kill Bill's color barcode

Motivational Refrigerator Magnets, I named the site this because I wanted to choose an uplifting, yet direct name. It's longer than I would have liked, but easy to remember, as long as you don't have to spell it out loud. This whole thing started when I got on another "word cards" painting jag. I periodically go through this compulsion to paint out phrases and laminate them. I have done this for years as my friends refrigerators can testify.
When the idea to share them hit me it was scary but very persistent. What if nobody thinks they are motivating? What if people think they are stupid? My experience has shown me that "What ifs" will kill a good idea faster than a frontal lobotomy so I made up my mind to push through. The result is this site. I humbly share my funky little word paintings in the hope that these motivational quotes and motivational sayings will enrich your life or at least make you smile. I can testify – they make good gifts, but make sure you get some for yourself too.
ClicClick small picture to enlarge. ClicPic Gallery Software.
After years of painting and making everything under the sun, these word cards have kept popping up. This time I was in overdrive. I literally could not stop. My head was exploding with quotes and the only way to get any relief was to paint them, so paint I did. No one was more shocked than I to discover that the majority were motivational in nature. Where did all this come from? Motivational Quotes!?
"I choose a block of marble and chop off whatever I don't need." - Francois-Auguste Rodin (1840-1917), when asked how he managed to make his remarkable statues

According to court records, Lisko accused 18-year-old Joel Kennedy, of New Berlin, for stealing morphine and gold coins from him. Lisko allegedly hung Kennedy upside down and ordered his dog "Bubba" to attack.
Lisko was found guilty of false imprisonment and first-degree reckless injury in May.

Day Sequerra has updated its M2.0 HD modulation monitor, adding some nice and very useful features.

Witch of Life!!
More people wanted Feferi when I asked if I should do her or Eridan next. So explanation timessss
For the symbol. I was gonna use a different symbol originally, but it was too complex. Green is often used to represent life, and since Jade did a little homage to the wizard of oz witch, I did a tiny one too! (cept mine isn't as noticeable). But basically, inspired by the hood shape of the witch queen from Snow White. I also left out her tiara, cause I didn't think she really needed it in god tier.
Hurray! :D
I tried to put this behind a readmore, but readmores just don't work for me. :\
Sorry, Sollux?
faithluvscabadre asked you:if so, could i have feferi and eridan being cutesy & lovey? :) and also the same for hunk/dorothy from the wizard of oz? :) (not as a scarecrow, human)I don't really know The Wizard of Oz, so you just get the first one, sorry
Yep. You proceed to do absolutely nothing.

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) -- The Wild have made qualifying offers to five restricted free agents: defensemen Jared Spurgeon, Tyler Cuma and Kyle Medvec, and right wings Justin Fontaine and Carson McMillan.
The move to retain their rights was made Tuesday. Minnesota did not make a qualifying offer to forwards Joel Broda or Benn Ferriero, making them free agents when the NHL market opens Friday. Ferriero was acquired in a draft-day trade with the New York Rangers for defenseman Justin Falk. The Wild also received a 2014 sixth-round pick in that deal.
Spurgeon, a top-four blue-liner last season, is the most important of the Wild's restricted free agents. Center Matt Cullen is their most prominent unrestricted free agent, but there might not be enough room under the salary cap to re-sign him.

auriferousLine breaks: aur¦if¦er|ous
Pronunciation: /ɔːˈrɪf(ə)rəs /
(Of rocks or minerals) containing gold: not all the quartz veins are auriferous
More example sentences
- To protect potential mining sites and timber supplies, the Box-Ironbark eucalypt forests which characterised auriferous soils were held back from agricultural settlement.
- The combination of these factors limited the nature of auriferous fluids, if any, that could have deposited gold in zones of structurally induced permeability.
- The auriferous veins there are usually interbedded sandstone mudstone varieties metamorphosed into greenschist facies.

Fine Tuning Your Lens
There are two issues at stake here: one is the accuracy of the auto focus detection mechanism in estimating the exact, correct focusing distance to produce a perfectly sharp image on the sensor. The other issue is to do with the accuracy of the focus screen used for manual focusing and whether the light path distance to the glass screen is exactly the same as that to the sensor. I am reminded here of what happened to a photographer's assistant who accidentally broke the ground glass screen to his boss's 5x4 plate camera. Not wanting to incur the wrath of the photographer (who was known to have a nasty temper), he set about finding a replacement screen and fixed it himself. The only problem is he got caught out, as he'd put it in the wrong way round with the ground glass facing outwards!
Anyway, I digress, in both these circumstances if there is even just the slightest amount of deviation in the physical distance for the screen, the sensor or the lens itself, this can result in minor fluctuations in focusing from the assumed factory standard. The main variable here is the lens itself and it is interesting, if not shocking, to discover just how much variance there might be between an individual lens and the 'assumed' lens focusing behaviour.
Enter the LensAlign® system, a calibration tool designed by Michael Tapes that provides a method for calibrating the lens focusing in those digital SLR cameras that provide a custom auto focus calibration setting control. These include the latest Canon EOS 1D MkIII and 1Ds MkIII, 5D MkII, the Nikon D3, D3X, D300 and D700, plus several more. Now I admit I do happen to know Michael, but my purchase of LensAlign came from a genuine desire (and need) to calibrate the lenses I shoot with and I have to say I'm glad I did, because it has revealed significant focusing errors with a couple of the lenses I use regularly.
Fig 1. The Lens Align Pro and LensAlign Lite calibration tools.
Here is how it works. The LensAlign calibration tool comes in two versions: Lite and Pro. Both offer the same degree of accuracy, but the pro version is larger, more robustly built and can be adapted to take a long lens ruler adapter. Basically, you first of all have to set up the LensAlign assembly so that it is aligned straight on to the camera and at an optimal distance from the chart of x25 the focal length of the lens to be tested. There are instructional videos on the website that show you how to do this and the tool is cleverly designed to allow you to check the alignment by spying through a tiny aperture at the back as well as when looking through the camera lens itself. Once aligned for the camera body and lens combination you wish to test, you set the lens aperture to its widest setting and simply let the auto focus system of your camera focus on the main target and take a picture. Now, because the ruler scale is positioned at an angle to the camera, when you examine the captured image in close-up, you can use the numbers on the ruler scale to help determine whether the focusing system of your camera is focusing correctly (i.e. when the sharpest detail on the ruler scale is at the zero point).
If it turns out that the camera and lens combination is not focusing correctly, you can now work out if the error is due to front or back focusing. Armed with this information, you then need to locate the Auto Focus calibration setting from the camera menu and try making a calibration adjustment for the lens you are currently shooting with. Shoot another test and see if this improves the focus accuracy. Once you have worked out the appropriate level of correction that's it, you can move on to test with the next lens in your camera bag. Providing you make the focus calibration adjustments on a per lens basis, the camera stores this information in its internal memory and will automatically know in future just how much correction to apply to the auto focus for whichever lens you choose to shoot with.
As I say, I was both impressed (and shocked) at what I found. One of my lenses required the maximum amount of front focusing correction available in order to achieve optimum sharpness (see Figures 2 and 3). The difference between the before and after is quite staggering. Bear in mind here that this test is designed to show up the focus accuracy at the widest lens aperture. When shooting normally it very often won't matter if the focusing is slightly out since at least some points in the photo will be at maximum sharpness and at smaller apertures the depth of field will increase to compensate and bring more points into apparent sharp focus. However, it is reassuring to know that for those times when pin-sharp focus is required at wide apertures, there is a way to ensure the focusing is as spot on as possible.
Figure 2 (below). Here you can see a close-up view of an initial lens test in which the auto focus mechanism was clearly off target and front focusing.
Figure 3. In this example you can see how the LensAlign target was captured after I had applied an auto focus calibration adjustment.

Music to Your Ears
Love Me Tender Loin
Daddy Long Loin—or Kevin Kinane, if you want to talk day jobs—is used to being by himself. Not socially, but categorically. He's the only local musician I know of who brings a 12-string Chapman Stick (a bass/guitar hybrid that somehow looks Thai to me) to all of his shows. He's just one guy, decked out in colors so bright he needs to wear shades, shuffling in harmonica, keys, foot-powered drums, loops and samples, and that arresting Chapman, like a many-armed Vishnu- Zappa incarnate.

More than that, the Dresden Dolls cultivated tendrils of thorny but beautiful lyrics and shoots of surprising and precise rhythmic sensibilities.

MACON – For a quarter and a half, two neighborhood rivals battled to a near draw in a hard-fought start.
Then, thanks to a little help from Tim Quarterman, Johnson-Savannah found its offense.
The LSU commit scored 9 of his game-high 21 points in a 3:30 stretch to key a run that gave the No. 3 Atom Smashers the lead and sparked them to a 61-51 win over No. 2 Savannah for the Class AAA title.
It's the first state title since 1992 for Johnson (25-6), who never surrendered the lead after gaining it around the halfway point of the second quarter, early in that effectively deciding run. The Johnson lead grew to as many as 16 during the second half.
It looked like neither team would ever take control early, as the first quarter grinded on with only 14 total points scored between the two rivals.
The Atom Smashers led 8-6, but it felt like the teams were just standing at midcourt slugging each other.
It stayed tight past the 5-minute mark of the second quarter, when Johnson finally broke free.
Baskets by Devon Holmes and Adrian Bonds started the run, and then Quarterman scored the Atom Smashers' next 9 points, turning a 2-point lead into 8 points. The 13-4 run gave Johnson the advantage, and the Blue Jackets (28-4) never got closer than 5 the rest of the way.
Every time Savannah would make a couple of baskets and look like it could make a run to get back into the game, Johnson had an answer.
One such moment came with 2:19 left in the third, when back-to-back dunks by Tyreese Rivers and Chris Cokley made it 40-30. Johnson took a timeout, Quarterman knifed to the basket for a layup, and the Savannah momentum was quelled.
A big part of the reason Johnson was able to keep Savannah at arm's length throughout the second half was defense.
The Blue Jackets shot only 34 percent overall and 22 percent on 3-pointers. The Atom Smashers turned the ball over 18 times, but their ability to make shooting difficult for Savannah made up for any ball-control issues.
On offense, Johnson's advantage inside also paid dividends, outscoring Savannah 34-20 in the paint, along with posting a 32-28 rebounding advantage.
Jermaine Williams led Savannah with 18 points and 6 rebounds; teammate Jamal Norman had 16 points and 7 rebounds. The Atom Smashers only attempted three 3-pointers and didn't make any.

What a bore,we read about this hype in having to move the games between these two to other arenas in Savannah to accommodate the large crowds that come out to see these hotly contested battles.What happened last night? Happy I didn't travel from ATL to Macon to witness a mediocre game.

Congratulations to the AtomSmashers!!! I believe with many Savannah schools now playing in a region based on their actual attendance, we will see more state championships for teams from Savannah.
I'm also proud of 'The High' but Saturday nite was a smashing success for SCJ!

@Ernest, I would say its ONE of the most unique…don't know of too many teams called the Grangers either lol!!! Congrats on the title though…who knows how many titles were lost because the Savannah schools had to play up
March 11th, 2013
4:43 pm
@SGT CHRIS, Cairo is known as the Syrupmakers and I would say that is unique also I agree, I wonder how many titles Savannah schools would have won had they played in the region based on their actual attendance. They may have been more competitive in football also though they aren't known for that.

The Savannahs schools played up in classification for all those years beause they let Camden County "Pimp" them into doing so!!!

Love it or hate it, one thing for sure smoking marijuana is not the same crime it used to be. In fact in New York City it has been decriminalized to the point that it's a slap on the wrist if you're caught with a small amount.
But with Colorado and Washington State legalizing possession, some wonder if New York may soon follow suit.
Attorney Arthur Aidala said the floodgates are now open for the discussion of legalizing the green leaf in the Big Apple and beyond.
"It is definitely within the realm of possibilities that there will be an initiative put on the ballot either this November or next November regarding marijuana being legal," Aidala said.
But he said that despite state laws, there still may be consequences for possession on a federal level.
"Federally speaking the United States of America still says marijuana is illegal," he said. "The confusion is going to be if New York, New Jersey or Connecticut says it's okay to sell small amounts of marijuana is the FBI going to come in and start making arrests?"
People we spoke to had mixed reactions to the prospect of freely possessing pot in New York.
So while pro-legalization advocates have high hopes for change, lighting up and inhaling in New York could get you a summons.

I like the prettiness of snow and all, but when it's coming down like this and the temperatures start to drop I prefer to stay indoors. It's easy to get bored when you stay indoors when it's cold and snowy and we need to find things to do to pass time.
The snow is still coming and temperatures are supposed to drop to single digits this weekend as well as below zero next week. So here are some ideas as to what to do indoors when it's so cold and snowy. Mostly fun ones, but also some that are not so much fun that should be done.
- Play a Board Game
- Do Some Winter Cleaning
- Binge on Movies and TV shows that are taking space on your DVR
- Spend Time with the One You Love
- Read a Book, Magazine or Newspaper
- Cook, Bake or Experiment with a New Recipe
- Get Caught Up on Bills, Paperwork, Bank Statements, etc.
- Work on Puzzle
- Start a Craft Project
- Build a Fort

A nor'easter will bring heavy snow to parts of western Massachusetts, along with a mixture of rain and ice for tonight and Thursday. Snow looks likely after 10 p.m. from south to north. It will intensify overnight, delivering the first major snowfall of the season for the region.
Expected snowfall totals: downtown Springfield 1 to 3 inches, Northampton 2 to 4 inches, Greenfield 4 to 6 inches, Berkshires 6 to 9 inches...with isolated amounts closer to a foot.
The day itself today will be dry across western Massachusetts, even with clouds filing into the region throughout the afternoon ahead of an approaching nor'easter.
Just like the last couple of days, bundle up a bit as high temperatures will be in the mid-30s. This morning's commute was fine, as will this evening's. Thursday morning's commute will be hazardous.
Tomorrow morning, a slight mild push from the south will start changing over that snow to rain (with patches of ice in between). This changeover will be most prominent in the valley, while the hilltowns will hold onto the heavy wet snow for a while longer. This will help limit the total snowfall accumulations for the Springfield area.
The factor that will throw off these snowfall totals is when the rain mixes into western Massachusetts ... too soon and snowfall totals will be reduced, barely any rain and snowfall could be much higher. The expected snowfall totals above count on rain commencing for the valley by early Thursday morning.
By Thursday evening, we will see all the activity taper off. Most of the activity in the Springfield area is expected to be rain showers at that time, but another changeover back to a quick coating of snow, ice or both is possible when temperatures fall again for Thursday night. Friday will be a drier day, with just some leftover snow flurries in the Berkshires.
