Speed Force
The Speed Force is a concept presented in various comic books published by DC Comics,[1] primarily in relation to the various speedsters in the DC Universe.
Source of superspeed[edit]
The Speed Force is a vaguely defined extra-dimensional energy force from which most, but not all, superspeed-powered heroes in the DC Comics universe draw their enhanced abilities. For example, the multiple heroes named the Flash (Jay Garrick, Barry Allen, Wally West, and Bart Allen), Johnny Quick, Jesse Quick/Liberty Belle, XS, the Tornado Twins, and Max Mercury all draw their powers from the Speed Force.[1][2] The Speed Force is also seen as a physical space to which speedsters can travel.[citation needed] Max Mercury traveled through time as a result of his efforts to enter the Speed Force and ended up several decades into the future every time he made an attempt.[citation needed] Bart Allen could control the Speed Force and could "commune" with the spirits in the Speed Force through meditation. When speedsters die, they become one with the Speed Force, as it is an afterlife for them.[citation needed] Max Mercury's own spirit is trapped inside following his possession by The Rival.[citation needed]
The Speed Force only exists in the DC Multiverse; when Wally travelled to the Marvel Universe in JLA/Avengers, he was powerless in the other world, requiring Steel to create a 'battery pack' that allowed Wally to absorb Speed Force energy in the DC Universe to give him a supply that he could use in the other world.
Abilities granted by Speed Force[edit]
The Speed Force serves as the ultimate measure of velocity in the DC Universe. It introduced several "new" powers/implications to Flash and other Speed Force-powered persons. Some already existed during the Silver Age, but were either unexplained or rationalized as molecular/vibrational control and later retconned into manifestations of the Speed Force.
- Infinite mass punch - Introduced in Grant Morrison's JLA title. Flash (Wally West), traveling near the speed of light acquired the relativistic mass of such speed to impart blows which could hit with the force of "a white dwarf star," enabling him to knock down such powerful foes as the White Martians with a single punch. Flash's own durability is regulated by the Speed Force in such cases.
- Speed lend/steal - Perhaps his most versatile new power. Because the Speed Force governed all motion, Wally could rob objects of their kinetic energy, motion, or momentum (e.g., bullets in flight or turning a supervillain into a statue) and use the energy to accelerate himself even faster. He could similarly lend speed to inanimate objects or allies, enabling them to temporarily travel nearly as fast as himself. Bart Allen's future self is shown to also have this ability in the Teen Titans Titans Tomorrow story arc.
- Metabolize wounds - Accelerating his healing factor while using the Speed Force to sustain him, Wally could heal from grievous injury without prematurely aging like his counterpart from another reality, Walter West. Related to the ability above, he would serve as the "team medic," healing other team members by accelerating their healing factors (without prematurely aging them).[volume & issue needed]
- Constructs - Wally discovered that if he concentrated, the Speed Force could be used to create solid constructs. The first time he used this ability was to create a solid armor enabling him to run despite having broken legs. Later examples included sealing up the openings of his costume against disease, creating pockets for holding things, etc. In JLA, when shot by Prometheus, his suit displayed bullet-resistant properties.[volume & issue needed] Most recently, it was used to repair the damage done to the various speedsters' costumes, allowing Wally to change his uniform; Jesse Quick to take up the uniform of her father, Johnny Quick; and Wally's daughter, Iris, to become the new Impulse.[3]
- Shield - Exhibited by Savitar, whose mastery of the Speed Force allowed him to reflect objects away from himself.
- Flight - Exhibited by Johnny Quick and his daughter, Jesse Quick; the only speedsters known to exhibit this ability. However, all speedsters traveling faster than escape-velocity exhibit "inverse flight".
- ESP - Exhibited by Max Mercury, whose communion with the Speed Force allows him to detect the motion of any object in the world, and especially to perceive other speedsters. Wally West exhibited a similar ability which allowed him to perceive Linda across time and space due to the strength of their bond.
- Total recall - Exhibited by Bart Allen, who can retain everything he speed-reads (in contrast to other speedsters, who only retain the information temporarily).
- Speed scouts - Exhibited by Bart Allen, who can create Speed Force-duplicates of himself that, due to the timeless nature of the Speed Force, can travel forwards and backwards through time. They can also manipulate objects or merge their consciousness with Bart, informing him of their actions. However, after one of his Speed Scouts was killed, Bart was thrown into a coma and hasn't used the ability since.
- Speed control - Traveling at any speed one believes they can move at.
- Negate Anti-Life Equation - Not yet explained, but it is seen in Final Crisis #4 when Barry Allen kissed his wife, who was under the control of Anti-Life, and the Speed Force surrounded her and she regained her free will.[4]
- Muscle growth - Exhibited by Jai West, who has the power to speed up the growth of his muscles, temporarily giving him super strength, but causing him to be exhausted after a short time.
- Intangibility/Self-molecular control - Exhibited by Barry Allen, Bart Allen, and Iris West. Their total control of kinetic energy at a molecular level allows them to match the vibrational frequency needed to travel easily into and through solid matter. Wally West has this ability, too, but with less control, so solid matter usually explodes when coming in contact with him. When Bart Allen internalized the Speed Force into himself, he too showed difficulty with this ability, melting matter if not concentrating enough. Iris' control is as effortless as Barry's, but unlike his, it is somewhat unstable. As an offensive ability, it can be used to scramble one's molecular structure to the point of literal disintegration.[5]
Despite its power, the Speed Force proved to be a weakness when Wally West was pitted against Brother Grimm, a sorcerer with the power to sense other dimensions; as well as being able to find the regular universe from his pocket dimension, Grimm can also sense the energies of the Speed Force, with the result that Wally must restrict himself to normal speed when fighting Grimm or Grimm will be able to sense his moves and counter them.
Status and future[edit]
During the events of Infinite Crisis, most of the speedsters in the DC Universe combined their powers to push Superboy-Prime into the Speed Force. Aided by Max Mercury, Barry Allen, and Johnny Quick from within the Speed Force, several Flashes vanished in the attempt; and, according to Jay Garrick, the Speed Force itself was gone.[6]
Bart Allen, dressed as the Flash, later appeared in Tokyo to warn that the speedsters could not hold Superboy-Prime, and corroborated Jay Garrick's claim that the Speed Force no longer existed.[7]
One year after the end of Infinite Crisis, the Speed Force was still believed to be missing, and Jay Garrick was the sole Flash due to his metagene compensating for the loss of the Speed Force. However, it was soon revealed that the Speed Force still existed. The Speed Force was now unstable and Bart was afraid it would kill him. According to tests run by S.T.A.R. Labs, the entirety of the Speed Force was now within Bart, who was now the only person who could use it.[8] Despite this, Owen Mercer, Bart's half-brother, still displayed occasional access to the Speed Force before[9] and after[10] Bart's death, which caused his body to generate a "background bio-electric field."[9]
When Bart died, Wally West reclaimed the mantle as the Flash and freely used the Speed Force at will. Wally's return had prevented Bart from accessing the Speed Force, inadvertently causing his death. With the Speed Force released from Bart, Jay Garrick could again go beyond the speed of sound (as he was limited to before),[11] and Jesse Chambers' speed returned.
In The Flash: Rebirth #4, Max Mercury revealed to Barry Allen that the Speed Force was created by Allen, himself, when he became the Silver Age Flash; adding that, "When [Allen runs, he generates] the kinetic wall between the present and the time barrier. It's an electrical energy that exists in every dimension, every universe, and every era. It touches every part of reality. It contains the knowledge of every place and time. The Speed Force is the all-encompassing Flash Fact."
The Speed Force had been seen in the future a number of times. A future Flash, Blaine Allen, was struck by a dilemma. His son, Jace, was infected with a virus by a future Cobalt Blue. Unlike many others in the Allen family, Jace was not gifted with superspeed by the Speed Force and his metabolism would not be able to handle it. Blaine removed all speed from all of the molecules on Petrus, effectively freezing the planet. Cobalt Blue pointed out that she liked the idea. "No one dies that way, it's true... but no one lives either." He thought this over and decided to take Jace to the Speed Force. As he ran Jace to the Speed Force, he was sucked in instead.[12]

Lowenstein Low Amateur at North Dakota Open
Aug. 25, 2014
Golden Gophers senior Tyler Lowenstein was the low amateur at the Bobcat North Dakota Open over the weekend. He carded a 3-under 69 on Friday and posted even-par rounds the next two days to claim the top amateur spot by one stroke.
"Tyler has done a nice job of working himself into a leadership role within Gopher Golf coming into the 2014-15 competitive season," head coach John Carlson said. "Winning the amateur division at the North Dakota State Open with three solid rounds is the culmination of many hours of preparation for his senior year as a Gopher. I asked all the players after our 2014 Big Ten Championship and NCAA Regional appearance to enjoy the summer of competition and time with family, while keeping in mind to have a goal of bringing total confidence in their games to the Gopher Invitational Sept. 7."
Sophomore Grady Meyer finished sixth among amateurs, and incoming freshman Riley Johnson tied for seventh. Transfer William Leaf, a sophomore, finished 17th.

Fête Accompli | Chanel's Tribeca Film Festival Dinner
Fashion editors, actors, artists all packed in together chic by jowl to celebrate the festival's Artist Awards Program at the Odeon last night.
Fashion editors, actors, artists all packed in together chic by jowl to celebrate the festival's Artist Awards Program at the Odeon last night.
Monday night's dinner for the Tribeca Film Festival Artist Program drew a veritable who's who in the worlds of art and entertainment.
At the world premiere of "Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston," director Whitney Sudler-Smith presented an affectionate, often kid-glove portrait of the fashion legend.
The photographer Francesca Woodman, a precocious talent who died too young, is the subject of a film at Tribeca.
Vidal Sassoon was no sissy. A new documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival explores the life of the hair virtuoso, who's now 82.
"Ultrasuede: In Search of Halston" is one of the most anticipated films at this year's Tribeca Film Festival.
Some of the highlights and lowlights of the opening.
If ever a neighborhood could symbolize economic devastation, it would be Manhattan's Bowery in the 70′s and 80′s. Overrun by crumbling squats populated with drug addicts and prostitutes, and flophouses for the homeless, this depraved landscape was nevertheless a fertile playground for artists, musicians and filmmakers like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Patti Smith, Jim Jarmusch and the Ramones, who came to epitomize Downtown style.
"We came out of this destruction… this very empty city," explains Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth, in the mesmerizing new documentary "Blank City," which along with "Burning Down the House: The Rise and Fall of CBGB," is having its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Both films chronicle the importance of location to the emerging punk and no-wave art and music scenes.
Imagine this. Winning $25,000 at the Tribeca Film Festival for the best feature film and, as a bonus, getting a Julian Schnabel painting. One unique aspect of the Tribeca Film Festival, which had its opening last night, is its Artist Awards Program sponsored by Chanel, which is displaying the trophy artwork at its SoHo boutique until April 29.
Every year, ten mostly New York-based artists donate their works to the winners of each film category. This year, the artists are: Stephen Hannock, Clifford Ross, Robert Mangold, Hank Willis Thomas, Fritz Chestnut, Mickalene Thomas, Kalup Linzy, Tom Slaughter, SunTek Chung and David Salle. Who gets what is decided during the festival.
He wore the tip of his fedora just a bit south to shade his all-knowing glances. An oversize scarf and pocket square ornamented his chest, and he wore a fair amount of makeup. On the 10th anniversary of his death at age 90, Quentin Crisp, the English writer, performer, gay cultural icon and former prostitute, is brilliantly portrayed by the actor John Hurt in the new biopic "Englishman in New York," premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival on April 27.
Crisp received constant threats of bodily harm for his womanly fashion sense in prewar Britain, but his biting barbs and one-liners were his weapons. (He wryly advised his bullies to make appointments to rough him up.) The publication of his 1968 memoir, "The Naked Civil Servant," and its 1975 TV movie adaptation made him famous, but what is remarkable about his life is that he was "out" when the gay liberation movement hadn't even been born.
It was only in 1981, when Crisp came to New York at the age of 72, that he found openness and freedom. He was the toast of Manhattan's peanuts-and-Champagne circuit, but even in his beloved America, he got mixed reviews. His blunt description of AIDS as a "fad" and his belief that homosexual love was impossible were heavily criticized by a community in the grips of an ever-widening epidemic. He flatly refused to retract his statements, and his theater performances were canceled. Toward the end of his life, Crisp would go to dinner with anyone who called and asked to meet him; as anyone who ever spent even the briefest amount of time with him knows, lying about himself and his opinions — however rash or idiosyncratic they might have been — simply wasn't an option.

4 smarter ways to save on your groceries sans coupons
(photo credit: Premeditated Leftovers)
I'm always looking for new ways to save on groceries because its not always just about the coupons. Like playing a video game, you can have multiple strategies to come out a winner!
It's all about planning, strategizing and putting those into action. While it can be as simple as using coupons and following the sales cycle, there's actually a whole lot more to it than that. With these tips from our DealPros, you can come out a big winner at saving on your groceries:
Buying bigger doesn't always mean cheaper
Have you every found yourself at a shopping aisle looking at a smaller product such as an 8 oz. can of tomatoes for 32 cents versus looking at a larger 15 oz. can for 67 cents. Should you buy two 8 oz. cans or buy one 15 oz. can? Which choice is cheaper? Laura of A Frugal Chick did this comparison and found that buying bigger doesn't always mean cheaper. She suggests you make sure you look at the price before grabbing things off the shelf.
Buy your favorite items at different aisles than where they are normally placed
Alea of Premeditated Leftovers shows where you can find your favorite products for a lot cheaper at different aisles of the store than where they are normally housed. For example, buy sesame seeds from the bulk foods bins instead of the spice aisle or buy artichoke hearts from the frozen section rather than the canned foods aisle. These small adjustments will not only will you save money, but you'll enjoy higher quality items for a lot less.
Don't get your groceries at the grocery store
If you don't get your groceries at the grocery store, where do you get it? Christina from Northern Cheapskate has a list of unconventional places to save on groceries. If you step out of your comfort zone of the traditional grocery shopping experience, you can save significantly at your convenience stores and even at garage sales.
Avoid falling into the grocery store trap
At some point, we've all fallen into one trap or another. By recognizing those traps we can fine tune our shopping experiences. Jennie of Bargain Blessings explains to us how we can avoid grocery store traps to start saving on our groceries.
When you look outside of the box, there are endless possibilities of ways you can save on groceries!
Want to learn more about how to save up to 50% on your groceries, join LearnVest & Savings.com for a live webinar on April 4th at 8pm EST.

One of my favorite MAC browns. It's a must have in anyone's kit. So pretty and universally good on everyone.
This was my first Mac eyeshadow. And i am in love with it. Perfect crease color. I use it everyday i've hit pan with it def going to repurchase.
Lovely golden brown eye shadow color. I use it as a crease color and then add a darker brown, such as MAC's Espresso for the outer V. Looks very natural on my NC 25 skin color.
i'm a nc25 in mac and of asian descent. i have smaller eyes and sometimes i like to make them seem bigger. cork is the best product to use to achieve that! i use it in the crease. i do the windshield wiper motion and make it so that the shadow is going in towards the end of my eye in the shape of a upper part of a circle. its the most natural looking color for me too. it helps that its matte because when your contouring your face, using a frosty or shimmery based product won't look right. you can always add the frosty base after the matte if you wanted that extraness. definitely would repurchase again and again when i run out!

This is my HG "crease" shadow. I've used it for years and find it perfect enough to wear day or night. I also use it to fill in any bald patches on my eyebrows. Will purchase again and again.
Love this colour !! I use it in the crease and usually pair it with Femme Fi and Goldmine. Gorgeous brown colour with great pigmentation and colour payoff. It's MAC so no surprises when it comes to quality and colour variation.
I use this daily in the crease. Such a perfect brown color. Easy to blend... smooth.. what more can you ask for?
A definate buy =]
This stuff is great. I love browns and neutrals and this a great one to add to the collection. Good for all over color for darker skin tones or for the outer V for lighter skin tones. Just darn good :)
I only love this brown eyeshadow. I have medium-fair skin and this is great for contouring. I can make my eyes pop out, contour out my nose bridge! the color is just right! (other brown are too dark or too stood-out on my NC30 skin) I can't live without this shadow! (MAC, don't discontinue this please!) Also, the staying power of MAC are never questionable!
I used this in my crease today and I realized how much I reach for this. It's my go to color for the crease. I prefer matte or velvet finishes so I find this perfect for the job! It's subtle but gives great depth to your looks and it's really versatile. Beautiful.

A screenshot
Now with graphics!
Half finished, apparently.
This is where I stand as of now. About half the time I have is past, and here's what I have to show for it.
Some of these are placeholder graphics, which is to say, the yellow resource is really ugly. And hopefully there will be an actual character sprite at some point, though I wouldn't hold my breath.
These are just placeholder graphics, I SWEAR
It is done!
Prize for the reckless
Vaguely unsettling abandoned place. OF DOOM!
Yeah I have no idea what the black stuff is either. I don't even know what this place is. It has tiled walls and metal floors. Maybe it's a hospital or something. Could be a swimming pool for all I know.
Are the floors broken, or is this some sort of bizarro staircase? And why are there two rooms full of spikes on the bottom floor? These are questions that I have about 5 hours left to answer.
My first puzzle!
Finally! I have made a brief tutorial, and enough elements to let the actual puzzling take place! Granted, it's not particularly challenging yet, and the graphics could use some work (maybe I'll throw some flowers in there or something if I have time), but it's playable!
Also, a new hat. Hats make everything better.
A tutorial and a background
Shut up old man and give me my sword
A new screenshot!
For the benefit of my loyal fans (all 2 of you), I must announce that I have finished the physics side of things, and the game is slightly playable. The red goo sticking to the walls will eventually be replaced by a real tileset.
And in case you were wondering where the sword from the last screenshot went, he's standing on it.
I'm in. I'm tossing up between Game Maker and Unity for this – probably end up with Game Maker because I'm more familiar with it.
My brother Ben says he'll be joining in too.
I surrrender
Sorry. The playable build is a lot less fun than I had hoped and a lot harder to tweak. I don't have time to start another entry. I guess I'll see you guys for the next miniLD.

Actually most farmers do not need those subsidies. What they need for protection would be drought, flood, and freeze insurance. And get away from banks that convince hem to get huge loans against the farm, and then collect when the crop year (s) go bad on them.

In the past two weeks, 25 Provo residents have reported stolen bicycles.
That number, up 50 percent from just two weeks ago, brings the total number of bikes stolen since May 1 to 144, Provo police said last week in a press release.
Sgt. Brandon Post said the city often sees an increase in bike thefts over the summer, but the numbers this year have reached a level that concerns him.
"The thefts this year have definitely been excessive," Post said. "We are definitely hoping to inform residents and help curtail these numbers."
Post said many of the thefts have been "crimes of opportunity" in that bicycles were stolen from open garages or were not locked up. He recommended that cyclists take special care in locking up and guarding their bicycles.
Police Chief Rick Gregory also suggested that residents register their bikes with the city to ensure that, if stolen, the bikes can be linked back to the owners.
Provo police will offer free bike registration at the Annual Night Out Against Crime event on Aug. 7 at three locations. For more information visit the Provo Police Department's website at www.provo.org/ppd.main.html.
Tips for keeping bikes safe
Always lock your bicycle if you leave it unattended
Use a high-quality bike lock with a heavy chain
Keep garage doors closed and locked, even if you are home
Keep a record of your bicycle's serial number in the event you need to report it as lost or stolen
Register your bike with Provo City
Be aware of and report suspicious activity to the police

Did Blowing on our Game Carts Really Do Anything?
I remember growing up and having a lot of problems with my NES… but not so much with my SNES. I had the first-generation 72-pin front loading model and, from what I understand, that was the worst one to have. Using the popular "Zero Insertion Force" (ZIF) connection method on the console, Nintendo designed this connector with nickel pins that would bend into position when a cartridge was inserted and then spring back after it was removed.
This ZIF method worked well in hard drives or VCRs where the disc was always held stationary, but in the constantly swapped NES, it was a pitfall. Seeing as how there was no mechanical arm to take the cartridge to and from the PIN slot, the force of the press-down would eventually wear out the springs and PIN set. It wasn't even a matter of being gentle or not; the springs on the console would eventually lose their elasticity and you'd no longer be able to make the full 72-pin connection. I was fortunate enough to never have any severe spring problems but I know several friends who had to use another game cartridge just to hold the initial one down. The dreaded flashing screen or blinking light was a common occurrence with this error.
Later, Nintendo would introduce a top-loading model akin to the Japanese model. This one didn't come with the built-in microphone functionality that the original Famicom had, but it was a much better NES. However, they didn't address one important issue: the copper connectors at the bottom of each cart. At the time copper was the best source of connectivity between electronics and naturally was selected for its resilience and cheap production cost. Unfortunately it was also very prone to tarnishing (patina) due to oxidation. That combined with a natural accumulation of dust and hand/finger oils created a very unstable bond between the game and the console. Man, the problems just keep adding up!
To make things even worse, American gamers not only had to struggle with the redesigned vertical ZIF connection and the copper oxidation, but had to initiate the 72-pin connection in conjunction with the region security lock-out chip. If only one of these connections were off, no dice.
Naturally when our games didn't work or when we got a glitched screen, we assumed the connection wasn't being made. But instead of blaming the pin connector, most of us assumed it was dust/dirt. Now I don't know how the theory came about, maybe we saw someone on TV do it once, but the general way to fix problems was to blow on the carts. Perhaps by just clearing out the debris on the connectors, we thought that we could get the game working again. After all, how complicated were these video game machines anyway? :)
Haha, well it turns out, blowing on the cart is actually the worst thing for it. Consulting the manager at the local retro gaming shop, Luna Games, he noted: "Yeah, don't blow on the carts. The moisture in your mouth is just promoting corrosion on the connector. These games are extremely durable, they will never go bad. It's merely the action of removing the cart and placing it back in the console that is causing this method to work."
But can the simple act of blowing really cause long lasting damage on the game? I mean, the theory makes sense.
Moisture->Corrosion+Mildew = Bad
But if a game's been blown (sorry! sorry!) is it damaged goods? Can it be recovered? I had to know, so I did more sleuthing on the matter. After a few consultations with mechanical engineers and the unearthing of an interesting experiment several years ago, I found my answer.
It turns out that yes, game carts do get damaged from breath, but only to a certain degree. A study done by Frankie Viturello of the Digital Press forums reveals that while damage does occur to the carts, it can be reversed by a proper scrubbing.
Frankie took two identical carts of Gyromite for the NES. For the first cart, he removed the plastic casing and left it naturally exposed to the environment. For the second, he not only removed its shell but also treated it to a blowing ten times a day. The first cart and the second cart were stored in the exact same place in the house and used under similar conditions. After one month, both the blown and non-blown games were tested and inspected, revealing a huge increase in corrosion and gunk on the contacts.
However, when both carts were cleaned and polished up, there was no noticeable difference between the two. However the experimenter notes that while both carts did work eventually, there may have been some changes to the contacts on the microscopic level.
"The build up of mold/mildew/growth on cartridge B never got much worse than what developed in the second week. While there's no corrosion going on at a really visible to the naked eye level, there may be some microscopic chemical reactions going on … and that build-up at the very least could prevent the games from working from a not-able-to-make-full-connection standpoint."
What's the takeaway from all this? You probably shouldn't be blowing in your carts. Heck even Nintendo states on their games that:
"Do not blow into your Game Paks or systems. The moisture in your breath can corrode and contaminate the pin connectors."
But John! If we don't blow in our carts, how will we ever clean them? Good question. The best way to properly clean and maintain your carts is debatable, but I personally use some rubbing alcohol diluted with water and some Q-tips/Mr.Clean Magic Erasers. Ideally you'd want to open up the screw and really get in there, but a few simple wipes on a closed cart will do the job. Luna Games mentioned that they feel the brass polish cream, Brasso, was particularly effective in cleaning games but any method would do, even Windex.
I usually recommend cleaning games immediately upon adding them to your system. That way you make sure the contacts are clean before they get anywhere near your console. The console itself is a pain to disassemble and maintain, so strike the evil at its source. Use the above method for the carts and an official Nintendo cleaning cart for the console. After that there's barely any maintenance even with heavy use. I'd imagine a cleaning once a decade would be sufficient. Spend the rest of your free time enjoying the games… with friends.

The Jets have made it clear they are returning to the Ground and Pound philosophy. They are going to be physical, which is essential to making the run game work again.
That should mean a big year for Shonn Greene. At least the Jets hope so.
Last season was Greene's first as the feature back, and he set career highs in carries with 253, yards with 1,054, and TDs with 6. The Jets want more.
"We want to be a run-first team," Ryan said this week during organized team activities. "In other words, bring them all in here (by the line of scrimmage) and we'll throw it. … We want to be a physical football team. You're going to know it. So we're not going to disappoint you. We're going to give the ball to Shonn Greene a bunch."
Shonn will see a lot of action, as there is not a great deal of proven talent behind him, after the departure of Ladainian Tomlinson. Joe McKnight is a good change of pace, but that is all we know for sure at this point. Bilal Powell has done nothing. We have to see Terrance Ganaway do it beore we say that he can, although he has great potential.

Alan Moore to Cameo in The Wolverine?
- Written by ThanosCopter on Monday, August 06 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Nope, it's just a very bearded version of Hugh Jackman.
Source: The Beat
Fox Pictures is currently shooting The Wolverine down in Australia and set pictures have been leaking all around the Internet. While we've been trying to avoid posting the spoilery ones, we discovered one this morning we just had to share.
The pic below features Hugh Jackman doing his best homage to Alan Moore, the bearded sorceror/writer responsible for works such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. While Jackman's beard still has a way to go before it matches Moore's lusterous mane, we're still quite impressed that Jackman was able to grow out such a fine beard in two weeks.
No word as to why Wolverine will be so hairy, but it probably has something to do with Japan or samurai or something like that.

Ravens take Notre Dame DE Lewis-Moore in 6th round
Saturday - 4/27/2013, 6:30pm EDT
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) -- The Baltimore Ravens have selected Notre Dame defensive Kapron Lewis-Moore with the first of their two sixth-round picks in the NFL draft.
The 6-foot-4, 298-pound Lewis-Moore was taken with the 200th overall pick. The Super Bowl champions also had a compensatory pick at No. 203.
It might be a while before Lewis-Moore can play for Baltimore, because he tore his right ACL in the national championship game against Alabama. He missed part of his junior year with a knee injury but returned to shine for the Irish in 2012.
Earlier Saturday, the Ravens selected Ohio State defensive end John Simon, Harvard fullback Kyle Juszczyk and Wisconsin offensive lineman Ricky Wagner.
Baltimore has two picks in the seventh round -- at Nos. 238 and 247.

It stands to reason that a place blessed with the mountains, beaches, and emerald forests along the Olympic Coast of Washington State in Pacific Northwest should be equally beautiful, productive, rich, and wonderful on the continental break just offshore- 200m or 300m below the tideline.

We have, available to us, inventories of rooms located on Disney property at the Walt Disney World Resort Florida, Disneyland Resort California, Aulani Hawaii, South Carolina and the Florida Atlantic coast, for rent.
You can reserve one of these rooms directly through Disney Central Reservations, or you can rent the very same room through members of the Disney Vacation Club, at prices that will leave you asking "HOW CAN THAT BE?".
These rooms, classified by Disney as "Deluxe Disney Villas", are all located within the Disney Vacation Club resorts. You DO NOT need to be a member of the Disney Vacation Club or David's Vacation Club Rentals.
The reservation will be in your name and you will check in at the regular Disney Resort arrival desk.
Similar to a reservation booked through Disney Central Reservations, the room will be assigned to you by the Disney Resort Cast Members on your arrival. You will be treated the same as every Disney Resort Guest and you will have access to all of the same amenities and and perks afforded to each and every guest staying at a Disney Resort.
The biggest difference is: There will be no room bill to pay when you check out unless you charge purchases to your room using your Key to the World Card, Room Card or Magic Band (where applicable).
Check in any day of the week and stay as little (2 days minimum) or as long as you like (up to 31 days). It is not necessary to arrive on a weekend and it is not necessary to stay a full week.
This is not a timeshare solicitation, no presentations are offered and your information is not shared with anyone outside of the booking member and Disney (of course).
It has been brought to our attention that the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge will be closing the feature pool for maintenance from September 3, 2014 – November 27, 2014. We have been assured by the Disney Vacation Club & Disney Central Reservations that all guests will still have access to the quiet pool at the Villas at the Wilderness Lodge as well as the pool at Fort Wilderness and the Contemporary.
David's Vacation Club Rentals is the oldest, largest and most trusted source for rentals of Disney Vacation Club Villas, having served hundreds of thousands of satisfied guests and tens of thousands of Disney Vacation Club members, since 2005.
The names and e-mail addresses you give us to put on your resort/room reservation must exactly match the names and e-mail addresses you have on your "My Disney Experience" profile and the names and e-mail addresses you have attached to any dining reservations. Do not attempt to link your room/resort and/or dining reservations unless you are sure your profile information is an exact match.
The "My Disney Experience" and "Magic Bands" programs are outside of our rental agreement and any inconsistencies must be dealt with directly with Disney.

I removed flowers and greenery off a large xmas wreath and affixed them on a smaller pine wreath. The candle holder nestles in snuggly in the middle.

I saw a similar candle holder at Macy's for $15 EACH! I made 5 of these for about $12. The candle holders were $10 for 5 at Big Lots. I bought a bottle of Testor's gold paint at Hobby Lobby for about $1. The ribbons were scraps and leftovers. I did buy the ivy print to make then for $6 but I had enough for the chandelier bow and to make another set.

Better to see the face than to hear the words.
Thinking that he has understood it, he asks
Wouldn't it be better to see the face and to hear the words?
Once you have seen the original face there is no need to hear the words. The original face is encountered only in absolute silence. words have no business there. Words are left far behind, far away. You have to go beyond the mind, only then can you see the face.
Mind consists of words. The moment you go beyond the mind you have gone beyond words. There is nothing to hear, but only to see. That's why we have called the great mystics the seers. And in the East, particularly in India, philosophy is called darshan. Darshan means the art of seeing.
It is not right to translate philosophy as darshan or darshan as philosophy. It is a mis-translation. But people like Casper Vogel go on doing these things. Scholars like Dr. Radhakrishnan and others have translated the Indian vision into other languages, and they have called it "Indian philosophy."
In India philosophy has not really existed at all - philosophy in the Greek sense of the word, philosophy in the sense Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Kant, Hegel, Russell or Wittgenstein will understand. Philosophy in the East is not philosophy, it is philousia. Philosophy means love for knowledge, love for wisdom; philousia means desire for essence or isness.
Truth is not something to be thought about, it is something to be experienced, seen. The Zen people call it your original face. It has nothing to do with the face, with your body, with your mind; it has nothing to do even with your heart.
The ordinary Indian religious person thinks there are three ways to reach God: gyan yoga - the path of knowledge; karma yoga - the path of action; and bhakti yoga - the path of devotion. Vivekananda also agrees with the ordinary mind, and he says these are the three paths to God. None of these is really a path to God. Action belongs to the body and the body has to be left behind. Knowledge belongs to the mind and the mind has to be left behind. Devotion belongs to the heart and the heart has to be left behind. Only when you have transcended these three do you know what Zen is.
Zen comes from the Sanskrit word dhyana; it has a beautiful history. Gautam the Buddha never used the Sanskrit language for two reasons. One, it was the language of the scholars, the pundits, and they are the most stupid people in the world. Buddha never wanted to use the language of the scholars and the pundits and the priests. He used the language of the people.

An Open Letter to Parents and Friends of FCA
October 20 Update: Manoj Sunny has joined Freedom Chess Academy and will be teaching the novice section of our Sunday class. Manoj is an experienced chess instructor and a UA freshman participating in the Every Move Counts program which teaches chess in city schools.
October 14, 2014 - We would like to make you aware of the recent change in FCA.
Dr. Stutts has resigned her role as chess instructor and board member of FCA. FCA respects her decision and greatly appreciates her tremendous efforts and dedication to FCA in the past 14 years.
FCA is pleased to announce that Dr. Ying Qin has joined the Freedom Chess Academy Board of Directors. She is taking on the office of FCA Secretary. She joins Denise Hills (VP), Junsheng Guo (Treasurer), and Neil Dietsch (President) as members of FCA;s governing group. Pat Alford rejoins FCA as a volunteer chess instructor.
Dr. Stutts departure requires FCA to make several short-term adjustments. For now we will reduce class meeting times from three classes per week to two. Chess instructors Neil Dietsch and Pat Alford will teach the Sunday class with assistance from parents.
These classes continue to be offered:
We are very appreciative of the response of parents. Several have volunteered to pitch in and help with teaching duties while we search for a new lead chess instructor for beginner and novice students. If there are others among you who would consider teaching chess part-time to beginners and novices, particularly on Wednesdays, please contact Ying Qin (email@example.com). Neil Dietsch will offer parent chess training for volunteers during the next two Wednesday classes (10/15 and 10/22) from 4:30 to 5:30 on the 2nd floor of the Tuscaloosa Public Library. If you wish to attend either or both of these classes, please notify Ying Qin or Neil Dietsch.
Along with the inconvenience of change, there comes the opportunity for positive improvement. It is a time when FCA can re-examine its goals and vision of the future. With feedback from parents, the new Board of Directors affirms the following as part of FCA's strategic vision going forward:
Thank you for your continued attendance, your help, and your understanding during this period of transition.
Neil Dietsch, President

Recently I was given the opportunity to design a book for 826CHI. The book was written by 106 students from 2nd through 8th grade. It started as an exercise in developing characters, and ended up being kind of like a game of telephone. A small group of students created the main characters, and then the story was passed along to other students, who wrote the next chapters, then passed on to other students to continue, and so on.
The book is illustrated by Aaron Renier and Laura Park, who turned around over 100 illustrations, one for every chapter, in just about a week. They also did a fantastic job on the cover illustration. Honestly, once I settled on the typefaces and how the stories would be structured, the bulk of the work was organizational…working on page breaks, formatting text. The one twist is that there are a handful of stories written in 1st person by three different characters, so I decided to set those stories as handwritten, and had to pick out three different typefaces for the three characters, one of which is a talking lizard.
The turnaround was very quick, and I'm very pleased with how it turned out. Fingers crossed that it will lead to more opportunities in book design. It can be purchased at The Boring Store at 1331 N Milwaukee Ave (Chicago), or online here.
