Our latest Artist of the Week is Air Traffic Controller, a Boston-based pop-rock group that takes their name from frontman Dave Munro's stint in the US Navy as, well, an air traffic controller. Citing as a musical foundation the formidable trio of Petty, McCartney, and Springsteen, Munro and his band – including his brother Richie Munro, Steve Scott, and Casey Sullivan – expand those classic pop sensibilities into a lush orchestral wave of sound. They are often accompanied live by a string section (Alison Shipton, violin, and Kiara Perico, viola) to better represent their unique and instantly appealing sound.
ATC compliment their expansive sonic prowess with lyrical insight. In our review of their 2012 LP, NORDO, we observed:
Air Traffic Controller relates the narratives of an average life with such exuberant grandiosity that even the most monotonous aspects of a normal day seem worth celebration. As Munro sings, "Sometimes you don't know if it's real / Or just some kind of magic show / So all you can do / Is pretend it's all true." For Air Traffic Controller, it's that type of magical belief in the splendor of every little moment that makes life not just bearable, but meaningful.
Now that album is getting a deluxe re-release for 2014, featuring new songs and remixes, as the band embarks on a quick tour of the UK before returning home to continue work on a follow-up LP. Check out the tour dates after the jump, along with the video for "Hurry Hurry," an indie pop anthem that will get a UK single release on December 6th and will be heard on MTV's Scrubbing In on 11/21.

The Making of a Masterpiece
Over the past decade, the Museum of Fine Arts has raised more than $500 million as part of an ambitious plan to reinvent itself. This month, the public finally gets to see what a half-billion dollars gets you these days.
Talk about an extreme makeover: In 1999, the MFA came up with a master plan to transform itself from a revered but intimidating archive of classic works to a user-friendly home for all art lovers. Entrances would be restored after years of neglect, and the total building area would grow by more than 25 percent — thanks mainly to the construction of a massive new addition, the Arts of the Americas Wing. The campaign would end up being the most ambitious effort in the museum's history.
[sidebar]"I felt that having this wing would be particularly significant here in Boston, the cradle of America," says the MFA's director, Malcolm Rogers. "You can tell so much about American history, and see how America has changed, through its arts."
All it would take was a mere $504 million — or about as much as it cost to build Gillette Stadium and Newton North High School. Combined. Fortunately, the fundraising campaign benefited from some fortuitous timing: It concluded in September 2008, a few weeks before the economy officially tanked.
On November 20 Bostonians will finally get to see what all the fuss is about. Even better, they'll get to see it for free that day. What they'll find are 53 new galleries totaling more than 50,000 square feet. In fact, the museum has been able to double the amount of American artwork on view to include many new acquisitions and pieces that have been mothballed for decades.
The new wing was designed by the London firm Foster + Partners, best known for topping Berlin's Reichstag with a glass dome. They've put the same emphasis on transparency with the MFA: The building's glass walls help break down the barrier between the salon and the sidewalk — a dramatic departure from the museum's once-cloistered image.
As Rogers puts it: "If you look in from outside and see people with strollers or in regular clothing, you think, 'Oh, I don't need to wear black tie to go to the MFA.'"

Season Review: February
Fellaini the fitting hero as Community celebrates 25th birthday.
It may be the shortest month in the calendar but there was no let up for the Blues in February as five games provided mixed results.
Off the field, Everton in the Community celebrated its 25th anniversary, with a wide range of activities taking place as the hard-working charity targeted a fundraising total of £1million.
To promote their cause, the visit of Aston Villa on 2 February was designated as a day of celebration, with main sponsor Chang donating their traditional space on the front of the shirt to allow the charity's logo to instead take pride of place.
Villa weren't feeling quite so charitable unfortunately and striker Christian Benteke drilled Paul Lambert's strugglers ahead inside two minutes.
The Belgian, an international teammate of Marouane Fellaini and Kevin Mirallas, was a menace throughout the contest, but Everton had a powerful presence of their own, the rejuvenated Victor Anichebe using his strength to roll Ciaran Clark and hammer home an equaliser on 20 minutes.
Yet, no sooner had the game kicked off again, the visitors were back in front through Gabriel Agbonlahor.
And as Everton pushed for a second equaliser, Matt Lowton seized the chance to counter-attack and Benteke steered the defender's lofted cross beyond Tim Howard.
It seemed, despite the occasion, that the afternoon would not belong to Everton. But with 20 minutes left, Fellaini offered hope.
Anichebe, again at his bullying best, was able to receive a pass from the Belgian before laying the ball back from where it had come. A 12-yard finish from the midfielder got Goodison believing.
Chances came and went and it looked as though the Blues would be beaten by the clock.
But Leighton Baines' corner was met by Fellaini in the sixth minute of injury time - the Club's No.25 the fitting rescuer of a 3-3 draw and a precious point.
Old Trafford was the port of call the following weekend, but Everton were unable to repeat their August triumph over Manchester United as Ryan Giggs and Robin van Persie helped the would-be champions to three more points.
Saturday 16 February saw a return to FA Cup action - and that unshakeable knack of conceding early.
Oldham welcomed the Blues to Boundary Park having already knocked out Liverpool in the previous round. And it was the League One outfit who took a shock lead through on-loan Reading man Jordan Obita on 13 minutes.
A lashed effort from Anichebe and a header from Phil Jagielka either side of the interval then looked to have put the Blues 90 minutes from Wembley.
But deep into added time, giant Latics frontman Matt Smith bundled home to force an unwanted fifth-round replay.
Next, two Norwich goals in the final seven minutes saw Leon Osman's opener cancelled out in cruel fashion at Carrow Road before the month was concluded with a much-desired win.
Strikes from Kevin Mirallas, Baines and Osman – his 50th for the Club - finally saw off Oldham at the second time of asking as David Moyes' men ended February sixth in the league and with their Cup ambitions still burning.

In this Article
Chloride is the major anion (negatively charged ion) found in the fluid outside of cells and in the blood. An anion is the negatively charged part of certain substances such as table salt (sodium chloride or NaCl) when dissolved in liquid. Sea water has almost the same concentration of chloride ion as human body fluids. Chloride also plays a role in helping the body maintain a normal balance of fluids.
The balance of chloride ion (Cl-) is closely regulated by the body. Significant increases or decreases in chloride can have deleterious or even fatal consequences:
- Increased chloride (hyperchloremia): Elevations in chloride may be seen in diarrhea, certain kidney diseases, and sometimes in overactivity of the parathyroid glands.
- Decreased chloride (hypochloremia): Chloride is normally lost in the urine, sweat, and stomach secretions. Excessive loss can occur from heavy sweating, vomiting, and adrenal gland and kidney disease.
The normal serum range for chloride is 98 - 108 mmol/L.
The bicarbonate ion acts as a buffer to maintain the normal levels of acidity (pH) in blood and other fluids in the body. Bicarbonate levels are measured to monitor the acidity of the blood and body fluids. The acidity is affected by foods or medications that we ingest and the function of the kidneys and lungs. The chemical notation for bicarbonate on most lab reports is HCO3- or represented as the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2). The normal serum range for bicarbonate is 22-30 mmol/L.
The bicarbonate test is usually performed along with tests for other blood electrolytes. Disruptions in the normal bicarbonate level may be due to diseases that interfere with respiratory function, kidney diseases, metabolic conditions, or other causes.

beautiful, just beautiful.
beautiful, just beautiful. Thank you for sharing this. I wonder if you had gone to a more progressive school if it would have hit you the same way. I work in a female dominated field and am only now really seeing what has been lost. Where are the women that paved the way for us? We need to celebrate them. Thank you for this. This might be one of my favorite posts of yours.
I'm going to share this with my women pastor friends. It's so good to remember who first encouraged us and helped us find our voice and passion. And to claim the reason why I stay in the church as a pastor despite the sexism from men and women.
celebrating de Rosset
I also sat in deRosset class at Moody and learned courage at her feet, excellence and humility. The boys who walked out of chapel still speak too loudly and hold too much control...but deRosset in her subversive ways is giving voice to many a woman out here.
A Counter-Perspective
As a Moody grad myself (and from the same era), I had to shake my head in half-bemused but mostly annoyed amazement at your characterizations of the school. First, the college is not ŌĆ£fundamentalistŌĆØ at allŌĆöthat would be Bob Jones or Pillsbury Baptist Bible College back in the day. It's evangelical in the conservative tradition, but certainly not ultra-conservative. The fact that you have either ignored or are unaware of this is astounding and revealing.
Second, on a minor issue with another revealing take-away, why would you say that men were not allowed to sport beards? They were asked to grow them when school was not in sessionŌĆöto avoid the ŌĆśscruffyŌĆÖ lookŌĆöbut were allowed to have them. To be so definite and so definitely wrong about something like this should give your readers serious pause regarding your other strongly-worded ideas. If you make a mistake in citing a clear policy of the school, it makes one question your other analysis.
Third, after a lifetime in the conservative evangelical traditionŌĆöincluding 4 years at the venerable Moody Bible Institute, I have never met a single person there or elsewhere who has ever said women cannot teach children. This matters, becauseŌĆöas fellow commenter Kerri Shaw Daugherty has also noted, the idea of a woman not teaching a man comes straight from the Bible.
1 Timothy 2:12, ŌĆ£I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quietŌĆØ (ESV). Also, 1 Corinthians 14:34ŌĆō35, ŌĆ£The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in churchŌĆØ (ESV). Feminists have worked for years to deconstruct these texts, and to deny their clear meaning. MoodyŌĆöthe ŌĆ£Bible InstituteŌĆØ that it isŌĆöpromotes this understanding.
Maybe you once met a person who would call a 7 year old ŌĆśa man,ŌĆÖ but I have not, and MBI has never officially taught anything like this. Based on the tenor of your entire article, itŌĆÖs easy to believe that your mischaracterization is not inadvertent. Your reader gasps that anyone would be so silly as to teach a woman not to instruct any boy older than 6. What professor taught you this? Maybe it was an instructor who first shut the door, then went on to subversively teach what Moody does not? (From what you write, you might at least admire that kind of moxy.) Where did you find that in the MBI statement of faith or in the student life guide? It wasnŌĆÖt there.
Last, I find it to be in bad taste that you would publicly bash a college that gave you (along with all students in residence) a full tuition-paid scholarship. As fellow commenter Cameron Smith has already intimated: if you didn't like what you were learning or the environment around you, why did you keep accepting the gift of that scholarship each semesterŌĆömany thousands of dollars? That's low. And if you only changed your mind later, which is not at all clear from your post, it is still bad form to write from a well of inspiration called vindictiveness. That's not ŌĆśworking out negative feelingsŌĆÖ as you stated in your justification of your article to Cameron. That's full out bashing a place that, despite your several bad experiences, invested a lot in helping you learn.
Okay, so you're a feministŌĆöperhaps even a radical feminist. We get that. Respect those who aren't, and who see the Bible as supportive of a far more conservative view than your ownŌĆöand JesusŌĆÖ representative the Apostle Paul actually meaning what he wrote about women's roles. You could have gone to lots of other colleges where your views would have been the majority perspective. This article is simply sour grapes.
Oh well, I guess fundamentalist is a pejorative term so conservatives don't want to be labeled with it. I can't say I blame them. Whatever you want to label it, the thing that characterizes the group the author is writing about is a position of literalist biblical inerrancy, which this respondant clearly holds to. Yes, she accepted a scholarship from a college that had views she didn't agree with 100%. Based on another post by her, it looks like it was a process for her to come to terms with her own feelings about how women are regarded in conservative circles. Attending the college kind of woke her up to that, but maybe she wasn't quite ready to completely break away from that culture by changing colleges. I think we have to give people room to figure things out, even if it takes time.
God's Inclusion
Thank you for a beautiful reminder of the inclusion that God has made available in Jesus. Both the life and teaching of Jesus were about erasing the boundaries that the law had placed on God's mercy. Those exclusionary boundaries were replaced with the sounds of love and grace for all to come and be complete and equal children of God. As for a preaching ministry . . . whom God calls, God equips. The clear and certain call of God evidenced in the grace-infused messages of woman preachers cannot be denied. Keep preaching and let that "fire in my bones" passion of Jeremiah be heard by all.
Better understanding of the Bible
Once you realize that the Bible is an expression of the beliefs and opinions of those who wrote it, reflecting the worldview of the time, and not the last word from on high from all time, you are then free to evaluate the text using common sense and your own conscience, leading to the obvious conclusion that gifted women should be able to serve and lead their church communities including preaching and everything else. The church is better for it.

Thinkqueermedia: Five Stages of Lesbian Heartache
Any breakup can be ugly. There are feelings to hash out, possessions to separate, and blame to assign. Breakups are understandably no fun for anyone. But in the world as I've experienced it, there ain't no breakup like a lesbian breakup.
Perhaps it's the way two women intermesh their…
One of my originals…
We've spent a considerable amount of time this evening discussing whether the Michigan Womyn's Music Festival is actually something we'd want to experience. Here are some of the highlights of our discussion, as I wipe away the tears of laughter.
On Workshifts
D: You know they require you to sign up for work in addition to buying a ticket.
B: Seriously? How much are tickets?
D: Not cheap, like $400+.
B: Then screw those hippie vaginas, I wouldn't work AND pay that much.
D: I don't think you have a choice. They walk you into the tent while you "volunteer" for work.
B: Could we work together, at least? I wouldn't want to work somewhere without you.
D: Maybe we could tell them we have codependency issues, and HAVE to work together.
*few moments of hysterical laughter*
B: But then they'd force us to attend one of the Womyn's therapy sessions.
*more laughter*
On Chem-Free and Chem-OK Status
B: Can you bring beer?
D: It's unclear. I think maybe you can, but other womyn can give you "gentle reminders" about your "chems".
B: "Chem?" That's offensive. It's not like you're dealing smack if you have a couple of Bud Lites.
D: They do provide support groups for those who wish to be Chem-Free. And you get to sit in the good seats at the shows when you're Chem-Free.
B: Do I need to sit closer to know God-Des and She suck? No.
D: True. And if anyone gave you a "gentle reminder", I think you'd likely knock her into next Tuesday.
B: True.
On Clothing Optional Events
D: You know they don't make you wear tops at this thing.
B: That's fine as long as I can give the womyn with fun bags hanging down to her knees a "gentle reminder" that bras aren't just for burning after she gives me a "gentle reminder" about having my "Chem" around her recovery group.
On Whether This is Our Scene
D: Maybe we are Dinah-style circuit party lesbians more so than granola festival lesbians?
B: All signs point to yes.
Sipping vodka sodas like WeHo lesbians. Diet cocktails = bikini bod summer!

It looks like they have apprehended the "Walmart Toe Sucker" but…
(Waznmentobe) JULY 13–A man posing as a representative of the "America's Funniest Home Videos" TV show tricked an 18-year-old Georgia woman into allowing him to suck her toe inside a Walmart in Georgia, police report.
According to a Columbia County Sheriff's Office report, the teen was shopping Tuesday evening when approached by the middle-aged suspect… This is to funny a story not to click!
As far as I know, the "Arkansas Toe Sucking Bandit" is still on the lam!!
Can anyone confirm Bills Clinton's location in September of 2011?
"ARKANSAS: Police in Conway have received two complaints in the past week about a man who seems desperate to suck women's toes — whether they want him to or not.
There's nothing illegal about a foot fetish but police are looking for a toe-sucking man they said has crossed the line into assault.
"We want him off the streets," said Conway police spokeswoman LaTresha Woodruff.
Last Saturday, Ruth Harris, 83, told police she was sitting in a chair in front of her apartment when a man approached and said he liked her feet. According to a police report, the man took off one of her shoes and began sucking on her toe.
"The man then asked if he could kiss her and she had told him no and told him he was crazy," the report stated.
The man left quickly after people walked into the apartment complex's courtyard.
On Tuesday, police received another call from a woman who said that on Saturday she was shopping when she noticed a man staring at her.
The man then told the woman that he had a foot fetish and that "her toes are so long and succulent" and he wanted to suck them. When the woman's cell phone rang, the man retreated"… Keep Reading

This slender, pocket sized camera is ultra-portable, perfect for any party, a trip to the park or for those globetrotters who like to travel light. Not much bigger than the average smart phone, this camera is surprisingly lightweight for an interchangeable-lens digital camera. Available in a range of six colours from a high gloss white finish to stunning pink with matching lenses for a cool appearance, this camera really is impeccable in design.
The bright 921k-dot , 7.5cm (3-in) LCD monitor, with protective glass allows a wide-viewing angle, perfect for studying every detail in your photos and movies–indoors or out. With clear menus featuring easy-to-understand icons, minimal operational buttons, a built-in flash and a conveniently placed mode dial, you won't be fumbling with numerous camera controls when trying to capture that key shot. When you really don't want to think about a thing, you can shoot in auto mode and let the Scene Auto Selector choose the best camera settings for you.

With the fastest autofocus system (AF) in the world[1], unique shooting modes, and brilliant low-light performance, this camera boasts all you need to capture standout stills and movies.
Always striving to deliver the best performance, Nikon's super high-speed CX-format, AF CMOS image sensor ensures your subject will always be captured in stunning detail. Developed to offer the ideal balance between speed, light sensitivity, resolution and depth-of-field it enables detailed 10.1-megapixel images of subjects moving at any speed, and any light.
The powerful EXPEED 3 image processor has been engineered to deliver unparalleled levels of speed and performance in any situation. Equipped with two powerful engines that can process images at an incredible 600 megapixels per second, the Nikon 1 J2 has superior noise reduction and with this technology allows the camera to operate with groundbreaking shooting modes.
The Advanced hybrid AF (autofocus) system focuses so fast you can capture moments without any delay. This mechanism instantly switches between Phase-Detection AF for shiny or moving subjects, and Contrast Detect AF if your subject is stationary, or poorly lit. And whichever system it chooses, the quick shot-to-shot turnaround gives you the freedom to shoot moments as they unfold without worrying about a thing.

Super high-speed AF CMOS image sensor enables detailed 10.1 megapixel images of fast-moving subjects in any light.

6230 Saint-Hubert
Montreal, Quebec
Metro: Beaubien, Rosemont
Bus: STM 13, 18, 25, 30, 31, 160, 161, 197
Visit: December 28, 2010
Recently opened in 2010, this restaurant has a pretty good location. Located in the Saint-Hubert street plaza, you can be sure that this place will see decent business. The service was very cordial from the beginning to the end. I read somewhere that someone mentioned that all the seats were too hard. I didn't find that to be the case, as I was comfortable enough.
Le Plaza Burger
This burger contains lettuce, tomatoes, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, cheddar, and bacon. This burger has a combination of all the perfect tastes for a burger. The bun was just right, the meat was fine, and the ingredients meshed well together. I decided to leave the pick in, to make sure the burger stayed together. This has to be one of the better burgers I've had in 2010. This meal combination was also very hard to finish, but very satisfying when done. Though, I need to note that I wasn't to thrilled with the coleslaw looking thing.

My husband and I and two friends stayed at La Luna in July 2012. We were looking for a true Tuscan Farmhouse stay and La Luna was everything and more. The passion Ilaria and Stephano have for this special place was inspiring. The meal that Ilaria and Stephano cooked for us was cooked with love and every morsal was delicious. I would not hesitate to recommend La Luna and my only regret was that we did not stay longer. Nicky (New Zealand)

Happy U.S. Thanksgiving to all. Enjoy the football games! A few quick NBA thoughts for you.
1. Brandon Jennings (Bucks): The combination of him and Monta Ellis have folks in Milwaukee enjoying their home team again. Jennings is averaging close to eight assists per game while scoring close to 17 points with over three steals a game. Needless to say, he's producing. The up-tempo style fits his game perfectly and he has the confidence of coach Scott Skiles. He has terrific ball skills and can impact the game defensively with his quick hands and pressure on the ball. Fun times for the Bucks. Entertaining, that's for sure.
2. David Lee (Warriors): Helping his improved team with another solid year with 15.6 ppg and 11 rpg. Relentless competitor who goes after it in the lane and has a very effective face-up game. Pace of play is not an issue with him. Produces in whatever scheme you run. Like his approach and professionalism. You can count on him each night. Runs the floor and gives you great second effort. A double-double man and consistent doing it.
3. Rudy Gay (Grizzlies): Nice having him heathy. Terrific frontcourt with Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph. How about this guy on some nights as a third option averaging close to 20 ppg. Not a bad situation for Lionel Hollins. He is a very good shooter with a good mid-range game who draws fouls and creates his own shot. Has a good overall feel for half-court offence and moves efficently without the ball. One of the really good teams in the West. If he stays healthy, they'll be a tough out come springtime.
4. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (Bobcats): Putting up good numbers as a rookie (11.7 ppg and 7.2 rpg, shooting 46 percent). Love his energy and motor. Plays all out and guards at a few spots. Major key for him will be whether he can improve his perimeter shooting. He's got an explosive first step and if he can be respectable in this area, his whole game will open up. A gamer who competes with fire.
5. Dominic McGuire (Raptors): With the injuries to Landry Fields and Alan Anderson, he's getting some run and for a coach like Dwane Casey who values defenders, he'll continue to see the court. Has his limitations offensively but to his credit, he doesn't force his game. A team guy who has given them the ability to mix/match him some nights based upon the playing ability of an opposing 3 or 4 man. Can guard almost any spot on the floor and is a good on-ball defender and steady overall team defender. Knows and accepts his role. Won't wow you but a valuable piece to have in spots to use.

Lester's Story
Lester Premo
Taking a slow boat down the Russian Pacific Coast and sailing through the Norwegian Fjords is still on Lester Premo's bucket list. But first, the 77-year-old aerospace and computer engineer from Portola, Calif., has to navigate through his prostate cancer treatment.
He opted to receive treatment at Renown Institute for Cancer because the hospital has the first and only program in the region to offer a nurse navigator for all patients with 24/7 access to support and information.
"I wanted to know more about my problem and treatment options," he said, explaining his need to talk to someone less technical than physicians. Premo had read about the nurse navigator program in Renown Journey during his wife's cancer treatment last year. When he contacted Lisa Gardner, RN, BSN, OCN, an energetic and personable nurse navigator with four years of experience in cancer care, he immediately felt supported and empowered.
"Lisa told me about a support group, informed me about the benefits of TomoTherapy, and arranged a meeting with an oncologist," he said about researching his choices. "I ended up feeling Renown's options were better."
When feeling overwhelmed and confused, the nurse navigator is the initial point of assistance.
"I just wanted someone to say, this is what I should do," Premo said. "Nurse navigators don't make decisions for you, but they do help you make the best decisions for yourself."
The role of the nurse navigator is to educate, Gardner explains. The former recreational therapist at a psychiatric facility is well versed in helping patients through emotional difficulties.
"I like to help people help themselves," she said. Nurse navigators provide resources and scheduling support, from initial diagnosis to survivorship. Part of their new, empowering tool kit is a detailed Treatment Guide. This efficient binder contains information on specific cancers, symptoms and treatment options. It organizes an appointment calendar, stores lab results and physician's input, and offers space to take notes. Treatment team contacts and medication diaries are all kept in one place.
Whenever a question arises, patients can also access an on-call nurse navigator 24 hours a day, get answers over the phone or schedule a next business day appointment for a full consultation with a nurse navigator.

Can a team called the Suns handle the cold? Bucks vs Suns Preview
Category: Game Previews
What to Watch For: Bucks
Normally the way to counter a team that likes to run is to send your guys back on defense instead of going for the offensive rebound. But it's not like the Milwaukee Bucks defense is going to stop the Suns anyway, so I feel like they just need to send everyone to get the offensive rebound. That's what the Chicago Bulls do. It helps keep the opposing team from getting in transition and keeps possessions going. This is not what the Bucks will do because Larry Drew is the least inspiring coach ever.
My current Bucks feelings can be summed up in this gif:
What to watch for: Suns
In stark contrast to the Bucks, the Suns have one of the best offenses in the league. It's easily the best offense without a certifiable superstar on the roster. They've been able to keep this really brilliant offense humming even with Eric Bledsoe out indefinitely. Bledsoe had been brilliant with Goran Dragic in two point guard lineups with both of them averaging over 15 points and 5 assists. But Bledsoe's value for the Suns has come more on the defensive where he's a solid man defender. In fact, losing Bledsoe may have helped the Suns offense since it gives more possessions to Dragic.
The Dragic, Channing Frye, Gerald Green 3-man lineup has the third best offensive rating among 3-man lineups in the league. They're just behind Ray Allen, Chris Bosh, and Lebron James and Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Boris Diaw. Frye has been an important pick-and-pop guy for Dragic. Green has been very efficient from midrange – shooting 52% from that area.

Ok, Ian. A 29 point loss seems to be a safe prediction.
More importantly, John Henson got screwed on All Star Weekend selections.
Sullinger, Waiters and Terrence Jones all trail Henson in most of the major categories. Henson 20.5 PERS is BY FAR better than any of those other player. Plus, his 2.2 blocks per game is top 5 in the entire league. Henson 12 points, 8 boards and 2.2 blocks plus shoots 53% from the field is way better. Really, not even close when you match up the player stats.
League must not want to reward 8 win team. Giannis sure to be more spectacular, I guess.
Ok Ian….you must have discussed your game prediction with Jeremy-only he could give a 29 point spread for this game!
Do I think the BUCKS could WIN tonight(?)-most definitely!
Would I bet my last dollar on it,…sure. I ONLY have one dollar to my name,and I will get good odds.
I believe that tonight's game is a WINNER for home team….
my prediction BUCKS 102-SUNS 97
More 'Slav Please…

Art explosion rocks Blaine
When Joseph Drayton, a civilian artist on Charles Wilkes voyage to chart the northwest in 1838, sailed into the harbor that would come to bear his name, he must have been awed by the beauty of the pristine body of water, almost completely surrounded by towering evergreens.
Delores Jordan, organizer of Drayton Harbor Arts thought it would be appropriate to commemorate the artist the harbor is named after. More than a hundred and sixty years later, Jordan and a handful of other Blaine residents are creating a place to make and display art in Blaine with a gallery and workspace that will be called Blaine Open Studio.
Jordan and her group have been given use of almost the entire first floor of the Blaine Trade Center in downtown Blaine by local landlord and banker Ken Kellar. Her financially strapped organization, which depends on membership fees, had wanted to pay a percentage of total sales as rent but had no takers before Kellar offered to donate the space. He said he believed in artists and gave us the space, Jordan said.
Right now, Jordan and the other members of Drayton Harbor Art are filling up their new space with art from the local community. For the big grand opening, tentatively set for June 29, Jordan promises the gallery will be full of art from all skill and experience levels. She says the Open Studio will give people a place to hang their art and a place for camaraderie. Its the fellowship the inspiration of being around other artists that is important, Jordan said.
Jordan has been painting for about 10 years. Her art education is mostly pieced together from classes shes taken at Western Washington University and other places. She had taken so many classes people new to painting would ask her which teachers, schools and classes were worth their time. Jordan wanted to organize and connect artists of all levels, so she began organizing art classes around Blaine, including Monday night meetings at the Free Unitarian Church.
The response has been tremendous. People are so happy they dont know where to scratch, Jordan said. Students come from as far away as Seattle to take classes. Were about education. We want to bring arts into the community. We believe the arts make a community strong, Jordan said.
Drayton Harbor Art also organizes 5 day, 5 night painting excursions on the M.V. Tahoma. The trips provide space on deck for students to set up their easels while sailing through the San Juan Islands. Students receive instruction on painting the scenery of the islands and its wildlife, including orca whales.
Its a very good thing for the community. Were hoping itll be a marketing tool and bring arts into the community, said Nick Bartlett, owner of the Tahoma.
On Peace Portal Drive, Charlene Zucca has a similar vision for Blaine. Zucca is converting the former Bordertown Tavern into an art gallery, a physical manifestation of Blaines transformation into an artsy urbane town trying to snare tourist dollars and attract retirees.
Some people might think Blaines the end of the earth, but a lot of people come here because they want to find a place like this, Zucca said.
Blaine has so much potential. Its like an unburnished gem. Its ready to be uncovered. Zucca wants to give people something to do, a destination for tourists and locals. Theres not a lot of reasons to get off the freeway right now.
The new gallery on the first floor of the 1909 stone building at the foot of the freeway exit will be home to the works of local painters, sculptors, potters and weavers. There are painters and artists all around and you can see why with all the scenery, she said.
The space is also large enough to host concerts and recitals. Zucca, like Jordan, will have space devoted to teaching. Two large rooms adjoining the gallery will be available for art instructors to rent.
Zucca would like to have an opening to coincide with the Fourth of July weekend. There wont be a lot of hoopla. One day Im just going to open the door and say come on in when you have the time, she said.

All About Olive Oil
Tips for using this healthy, flavorful oil
By Elaine Magee, MPH, RD
Reviewed By Charlotte E. Grayson, MD
This oil's got history going for it, that's for sure. One of the oldest known cultivated trees in the world, the olive tree is native to Asia Minor. It is thought to have spread to the Mediterranean region -- now well-known for its use of olive oil -- about 6,000 years ago.
You can buy domestic olive oil (using mostly Californian grown olives) or imported oils from France, Greece, Spain, and Italy.
This uniquely green and flavorful oil can be less green and less flavorful, depending on the type you buy. If you want to use it at high temperatures or in baking, try one of the "light" olive oils. This type goes through a fine filtration process, producing lighter-colored oil that lacks the classic olive flavor.
What if you want a fragrant and flavorful oil, for salad dressings or for adding to a dish after cooking? Olive oil that's extra-virgin and cold-pressed (a chemical-free process that involves only pressure, producing an oil with low acidity) is considered the fruitiest and finest type, according to The Food Network's online encyclopedia.
More and more people are cooking with olive oil, perhaps because Mediterranean cuisine is in vogue, or because of the oil's distinctive flavor, or its potential health benefits. How about all of the above?
A Smart Fat
Nutrition experts consider omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat found in fish and some plant foods, to be a "smart fat." The other "smart fat" is monounsaturated fat -- the type olive oil is rich in.
Environmental Nutrition (The Newsletter of Food, Nutrition & Health) recommends that monounsaturated fats make up most of your fat intake, with polyunsaturated fats comprising the rest, according to Luanne Hughes, MS, RD.
Unsaturated fatty acids, whether monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, can lower your levels of "bad" cholesterol (which decreases your risk of heart disease) if you eat them instead of saturated fatty acids, Hughes says. Saturated fat -- found mostly in animal products and in palm and coconut oils -- is the main dietary cause of high blood cholesterol, according to the American Heart Association.
Here's a breakdown of the fat makeup of some different types of vegetable oils:
And the oil that's readily available, usable in a variety of dishes, relatively reasonably priced (unless you buy a gourmet variety) AND has the highest amount of monounsaturated fat is none other than ? drum roll, please ? olive oil!
In fact, the FDA now allows olive oil labels to carry the claim that its monounsaturated fat can reduce heart disease risks -- with a few strings attached. The claim says that "limited and not conclusive scientific evidence" suggests that eating about 2 tablespoons of olive oil daily may reduce the risk of heart disease. To give this possible benefit, it adds, the olive oil must replace a similar amount of saturated fat in your diet -- and must not increase the total calories you eat in a day.
The potential health benefits of olive oil don't stop at heart disease.
Recent studies have suggested that, of all the fats we can choose -- aside from the omega-3s found in fish -- monounsaturated oils are the least likely to promote cancer.
And monounsaturated fat isn't the only thing olive oil has going for it nutritionally. Some olive oils come with phytonutrients that may offer their own disease protection benefits (still, it's not clear whether most of us can take in enough of these phytonutrients without going overboard on olive oil, says Joyce Nettleton, DSc, RD, researcher and editor of the PUFA Newsletter).
And, of course, olive oil is a key component of the well-studied Mediterranean diet, the others being a bounty of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Several studies have shown that this type of diet may have many health benefits, from adding years to the lives of healthy older adults, to lowering the risk of metabolic syndrome.

Patent Prosecution Highway Between USPTO and INPI-PT (Pilot)
The Patent Prosecution Highway Pilot Program in Conjunction With the Portugal National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI-PT)
Under this pilot program of the Patent Prosecution Highway, an applicant receiving a ruling from either the Portugal National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI-PT) or the USPTO that at least one claim in an application is patentable may request that the other office fast track the examination of corresponding claims in corresponding applications. This Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program will leverage fast-track patent examination procedures already available in both offices to allow applicants in both countries to obtain corresponding patents faster and more efficiently.
As of May 25, 2010, the USPTO has eliminated the fee for the petition to make special under the PPH programs.
The USPTO has implemented PPH 2.0 with respect to the INPI-PT. PPH 2.0 simplifies the PPH requirements and procedures in a consolidated and user-friendly framework, while at the same time ensuring that work sharing benefits to the USPTO are not diminished. It is important to note that PPH 2.0 has only been implemented at the USPTO at this time, i.e., unilaterally.
The Patent Prosecution Highway pilot program between the USPTO and the INPI-PT commenced on January 29, 2013, and will terminate on January 28, 2014. The USPTO and the INPI-PT will evaluate the results of the pilot program to determine whether and how the pilot program should be implemented after January 28, 2014. The pilot program may be extended if necessary to adequately assess its feasibility. The offices may also terminate the pilot program early if the volume of participation exceeds a manageable level or for any other reason. Notice will be published if the pilot program between the USPTO and the INPI-PT is terminated before January 28,2014.

A few weeks ago we got a look at the initial lineup of films screening at Toronto After Dark which ran the gamut from French Blaxploitation to eagerly awaited festival faves to the return of Coffin Friggin' Joe. That was only the first half of the schedule and nine more films have been added to the roster making Toronto a primo destination for genre fans the week of August 14-21.
Not much is known about the plot of "The Cabin in the Woods" currently but since it's a collaboration between Joss Whedon and "Lost"/"Cloverfield" writer Drew Goddard chances are it will be some kind of awesome. These three teasers posters bode well.
"The Cabin in the Woods" opens in February.
The next couple of months are going to be a good time to be a horror fan in Toronto. In August we've got Toronto After Dark (stay tuned next week to find out the rest of the lineup) and September 10-19 the city is host to the Toronto International Film Festival and it's genre-rific program Midnight Madness.
Last week we took a look at three of the movies recently announced at the 4th annual Toronto After Dark Film Festival. Today we finish out the initial lineup of films that will be screening at the fest August 14-21.
Someone's Knocking at the Door
The Toronto After Dark Film Festival, screening this August 14th - 23rd, has announced the first wave of films festival-attendees can check out. In addition to some much-buzzed festival favs like "Grace" and "Trick 'R' Treat", the fest has a solid lineup of fresh international genre pics.
In an attempt to lower the number of fatal traffic accidents, a safe driving campaign in New Zealand erected a billboard of a child's face that bleeds when it rains. Supposedly, it has been successful in reducing the death toll but there's no word on how many accidents have been caused by people driving past and gawking at the freaky possessed billboard.
The news that Werner Herzog was going to reboot "Bad Lieutenant" with Nic Cage in the title role was greeted by a massive "WTF?" from cinemaphiles. Then, we were treated to an escalating feud between Herzog and original "Bad Lietenant" director Abel Ferrara in which Herzog claimed to have never seen the movie he was remaking and to have never heard of Ferrara, which prompted Ferrara to invite Herzog to "die in hell" and said that the producer of the film "sucks cock in hell". Whew.
I admit it, I'm a lifelong "Star Trek" hater. Over the years I've tried to get into "Star Trek" a few times but I don't think I've ever made it all the way through an episode. Not that I minded that much - every geek needs another group of geeks they can look at and feel cool in comparison. If I became a Trekkie there'd be no one left for my scorn but the LARPers.
On Sunday British author J.G. Ballard died at 78 after a long battle with prostate cancer. Ballard was primarily considered a post-modernist sci-fi writer but his best known book was "Empire of the Sun", a fictionalized account of his childhood in a Japanese-run prison camp in WWII-era Shanghai which Stephen Spielberg adapted into a movie in 1987 starring a young Christian Bale.
Episode: "He's Our You"
Hi everybody. Your regularly scheduled tour guide Schnaars is off attending a fancy advance screening of "A Haunting in Connecticut", munching on lobster-flavored popcorn no doubt, so I'll be filling tonight for all your "Lost" related blogging needs.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

DBU Students Teach Principles for Life in Sierra Leone
October 21, 2011 | by Kalie Lowrie
Freetown, Sierra Leone - When Dr. Ross O'Brien traveled to Freetown, the capital city of Sierra Leone, in March of this year, he could not foresee that just seven months later he would be returning with five students from Dallas Baptist University as a part of his International Travel and Management class.
Dr. O'Brien started working with Global Connection Partnership Network last Spring to see how DBU might be able to support the organization's ministry in Freetown and impact the local Sierra Leoneans. The greatest need that Dr. O'Brien saw was for business training. Soon, he began developing a course at DBU for students to put their education into practice.
Group at Hope Center: Dallas Baptist University students pose with local people that they worked with during the week at the Global Connection Partnership Network in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
The course took form this fall with five students: Cami Duke, Becca Thompkins, Carrie Kennedy, Fred Ndavi, and Peter Roehnig. Dr. O'Brien wanted for students to have the opportunity to gain insight into how business is conducted in another part of the world. He could have chosen a very rich and prosperous nation with affluent people, but instead he chose one of the poorest nations in the world to provide his students with an opportunity to make a personal impact on the lives of those they would encounter.
Located on the West African coast, Sierra Leone has a very high rate of unemployment, and the people of this impoverished nation are daily fighting for a way to survive. Abundant with natural resources, the government lacks a strong infrastructure and economy to support the citizens since the Civil War that ravaged the country nearly 10 years ago.
While in Freetown, the DBU team worked with 11 local women who needed training in successful business practices. They had received six months of cosmetology training from GCPN and wanted to start their own salons; however, they did not have the business background and knowledge necessary to start such an endeavor.
Each day of the trip, the DBU team shared with the women how to develop marketing, operations and financial plans for their future businesses. Providing them with practical skills gave these women hope for the future. But they learned even more than that during the week; they also learned about the love of a Savior, Jesus Christ.
"We did not just teach them a business plan," said Dr. O'Brien. "We laid a biblical basis for work and for business. We talked about factors of success and causes of failure in business, among other things. "
One day, the group traveled into the heart of the capital to interact with local businesses and observe their system of commerce. Breaking into the groups, the students interacted with business owners and asked questions about where they received their supplies from and how they conducted general operations.
Aided by translators from The Evangelical College of Theology, the DBU students enjoyed getting to know the local Sierra Leoneans on a personal basis and observing their daily activities.
They also traveled to the city of Bo where they saw two ministries caring for orphans. This was a particularly moving experience for the students as they interacted with children at a local school.
Group at Hope Center: Dallas Baptist University students pose with local people that they worked with during the week at the Global Connection Partnership Network in Freetown, Sierra Leone.
"We were talking with the older kids and getting ready to take a picture with them, when the younger students (ages 4-10) were released from their classes," recalled Cami Duke, a business management major. "The team heard shouts of excitement and looked up to see a charge of little ones running after us. We all braced ourselves and were overrun by the many smiling excited faces. They were grabbing our hands and wanting to take pictures with us. I will never forget their smiling faces and especially the two little boys who held my hands all the way back down the hill."
The class trip proved to be life-changing for the DBU students who traveled out of their comfort zone to learn about a new people and culture.
"Everyone had their different desires for deciding to take part in the trip but the Lord really unified us and centralized our focus on completing the Kingdom work that was set before us," said Duke. "When the days were long and extremely hot, we accepted it and encouraged each other to make it through. All of our accomplishments throughout the week were a team effort and for God's glory."

I'm disabled and spend all of my time in the house because trying to go out and about wipes me out for days. I'd like to be able to be more independent and mobile and not worry about things like going shopping at the grocery store or going out to the park with family.
I used to really enjoy this blog. I think it was the disappointment of how boring the scifi and fantasy Coursera course was that made me stop doing it. I'm also in pain a lot. But now I have a program that allows me to type by just speaking so I may use that more … who knows. It's a little awkward and annoying to use the program.
I might be back. I might not be. We'll see!
Every good children's book has an element of exploration that is impossible for kids in reality. This allows them to vicariously explore the world through fiction in a way that is impossible for them in real life. For a child, a story that has no elements of boundary breaking is a boring one.
Most children live in a world of restrictions and dependence. Even those who are allowed to run somewhat free must comply to the rules of society such as being in school, being expected to respect those older than them, and being unable to make their own major decisions.
In Alice in Wonderland the first thing Alice does is to run off on her own without a thought to telling anyone where she is going. This is something most children are not allowed to do. She goes on to make her own reckless decisions about eating and drinking strange foods, and talking with difficult or weird strangers, and solving her own problems.
Alice explores not only the strange and fantastical Wonderland but also different states of being for herself physically and personally. She grows suddenly - as children do - and then wishes to be small again. She talks back to the Queen herself with confidence and fearlessness even at the threat of being beheaded. But she then gets away with this when the king pleads with the Queen saying, "… she is only a child!" So the Queen moves on.
She explores by behaving like a confident adult and then reaches a limit and settles for being treated like a child who gets away with rude things by default of being a child. This back and forth between pushing boundaries and then accepting the conditions that put the boundaries there in the first place is perhaps a common way of all children to explore the strange world around them.
In Grimm's Fairy Tales forests or woods are the setting in seemingly every other story and represent the real dangers and unknowns that peasants of a certain era faced in everyday life. The forests that bordered their farmlands and villages held very real threats. For example, they had reason to be afraid of the wolves that emerged and often attacked and killed the livestock that they so depended on and even sometimes attacked humans, perhaps especially defenseless wandering children. It's possible that some of the tales, such as The Wolf and the Seven Little Goats (in which a wolf who eats a bunch of young goats is cut open while sleeping and filled with stones in place of the still living goats so that he falls into the water when he attempts to drink and drowns) is a way of using humor to deal with the serious problems and anxieties that wolves caused in their lives.
Another danger in the forests were the bands of criminals that sometimes hid there. This danger is talked of in The Robber Bridegroom in which the bride is unknowingly given over to a robber who lives in the woods and associates with a group of "cut-throats".
Generally sinister people or magical talking creatures live in the woods in these tales. There is the classic tale of Hansel and Gretel, Little Red Cap, and The Robber Bridegroom, for a few examples. In some of the tales the innocent wanderer in the woods leaves bits of food or stones trailing behind them as a way to find their way out and home. People in those days often spent their whole lives near forests that they rarely ventured into so it's no wonder that they are not only thought of as places where you could easily get lost but places ripe for wild imaginings of what could be within.
This is maybe the best memoir I've ever read and although that opinion may be influenced by the fact that I very strongly relate to her experiences I'm an experienced enough reader to recommend her on the sole basis of her skill as a writer and a storyteller.
I just spent the entire night unable to put this book down. It's past eight in the morning and it was maybe the best night I've had in months.
If you are forced to confront your fears on a daily basis, they disintegrate, like illusions when viewed up close. Maybe being always protected made me more fearful, and I would later dip cautiously into the outside world, never allowing myself to be submerged completely, and always jerking back into the familiarity of my own life when my senses were overwhelmed. For years I would stand with a foot in each sphere, drawn to the exotic universe that lay on the other side of the portal, wrenched back by the warnings that sounded like alarm bells in my mind.
Cormac McCarthy now writes about serial killers and post-apocalyptic worlds. Michael Chabon writes about alternate realities and hard-boiled detectives. Philip Roth writes alternate history. Kazuo Ishiguro writes about clones. Colson Whitehead writes about zombies. Kate Atkinson writes mysteries. Jennifer Egan writes science fiction, as does Haruki Murakami (and as did David Foster Wallace). And on and on. (The borrowing happens the other way, too: writers like Neil Gaiman, Kelly Link, Catherynne Valente, John Green, Susanna Clarke, Richard Price and China Miéville, to name a very few, are gleefully importing literary techniques into genre novels, to marvelous effect.) Krystal brings up Gary Shteyngart and his love of Zardoz (not the movie, oddly, but the novelisation thereof), but what he doesn't mention is that Shteyngart's last novel, Super Sad True Love Story, is science fiction. These days, I find, literary novelists are much more interested in plot and much less interested in plausibility, or in realism, than literary critics are.
In other words — and here's the real nightmare, horror-movie reveal, wait for it — literary fiction is itself a genre, just like mysteries or westerns or fantasy. (I can't resist quoting M. John Harrison here: "The sooner literary fiction recognises & accepts its generic identity, the sooner it can get help.")
The course "Fantasy and Science Fiction: The Human Mind, Our Modern World", by Professor Eric Rabkin from the University of Michigan will be offered free of charge to everyone on the Coursera platform. Sign up at https://new.coursera.org/course/fantasysf
I'm taking this lit course and will be using the blog for a while to write about it. I've started on Dracula already which I found to be a big disappointment and now am putting off starting on Grimm's Fairy Tales (so boring). Later on in the course there will be better readings, many of which I've already read at some point which makes the course easier for me.
By the way, this course and many others is free and anyone in the world can join.
Here are the books we will be reading:
- Grimm — Children's and Household Tales
- Carroll — Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass
- Stoker — Dracula
- Shelley — Frankenstein
- Hawthorne & Poe — Stories and Poems
- Wells — The Island of Dr. Moreau, The Invisible Man, "The Country of the Blind," "The Star"
- Burroughs & Gilman — A Princess of Mars & Herland
- Bradbury — The Martian Chronicles
- LeGuin — The Left Hand of Darkness
- Doctorow — Little Brother
All of which are available free online except a few and that's what libraries and/or pirating is for.
Here is the goodreads group. And #courserafantasy on Google+
