PAGOSA SPRINGS, Colo. (UPI) — The Colorado wildfire known as the West Fork Complex has burned more than 79,000 acres with zero containment and potential for growth, fire officials said.
Conditions for fighting the fire, near Pagosa Springs, Colo., north of Denver, improved Tuesday with winds up to 20 mph through most of the fire zones, the National Weather Service reported.
The fire is a combination of three wildfires — West Fork, Windy Pass and Papoose – in the area, The Denver Post said.
It is regarded as "very active" and "extreme fire behavior," Inciweb, the U.S. Forest Service information management system, said.

*This article goes into the world of analytics in hockey. If you are not familiar with words such as "Corsi" and "Fenwick," ExtraSkater.com and ArticIceHockey.com give simple definition of each.
Like it or not, analytics are here to stay in the NHL and Ron Hextall is bringing them to the Philadelphia Flyers. Hextall is a smart executive and plans on building from within, a deviation from the normal course of action the Flyers have taken.
Part of his vision is using analytics to determine the worth of current and future players.
@DNFlyers: Hextall on analytics: "That's where we're going. It's going to be a huge part of what we do going forward."
That quote should be music to the ears of Flyers fans.
The obsession with numbers in sports became famous thanks to Michael Lewis' book "Moneyball." Since its release, analytics have become more common in the front offices. Sam Hinkie, GM of the Philadelphia 76ers, plans to build the Sixers into a winner using advanced statistics. So far, it seems to be working.
Analytics in the NHL, however, is either met with open arms or with an angry mob. A happy medium does not exist, which is the only way advanced statistics will work and will be embraced.
Steve Simmons, who has covered hockey for the last 30 years, published an article for the Toronto Sun on Tuesday afternoon. Simmons criticized analytics for not telling the whole truth of games. One of his main criticisms was that "sample sizes" only told a small portion of what transpired on the ice.
Simmons pointed to how the 'stat mavens' were more than happy to point out how Corsi and Fenwick stats predicted the collapse of the Maple Leafs, but these same people were not so accurate about the Colorado Avalanche in the regular season.
The playoffs for the Avalanche was a much different story.
While Simmons is correct that analytics do not always correctly predict what team will win and what team will lose the game at hand, advanced numbers are more of a long-term statistic to consider. If a player or a team show poor Corsi and Fenwick numbers on a consistent basis, it is a sign that all might not be well.
More than half of the teams in the NHL have an analytics employee. Out of the 16 teams that made the 2013-14 playoffs, nine of them use analytics in some form. *Three of those teams came from the Eastern Conference, six came from the Western Conference.
Like all data, Corsi and Fenwick numbers should not be taken at face value. There are underlying circumstances that affect each stat and context must also be considered as well. Sometimes the puck bounces right when it should go left. Sometimes the defenseman makes a blind pass or an ill-advised clearing attempt that ends up in the back of the net. Sometimes the hockey gods intervene. But while these, among other limitations, are the drawbacks of advanced statistics, the good can outweigh the bad.
Let's take a look at the team Paul Holmgren left to Hextall:
(*Screenshot from ExtraSkater.com)
Concentrate on the two columns highlighted. The players are rated by the amount of games played. This makes it more simple to eliminate the outliers.
Let's focus on Sean Couturier for the moment. Couturier's Corsi stats — Corsi 49.1 percent, Corsi Rel -1.2 percent — tell us more shots are directed toward the Flyers net net when he is on the ice. When looking just at these two numbers alone, an average fan may think Couturier is a detriment to the Flyers. What the stats do not reveal is that Couturier is the shutdown center for the team and faces the toughest competition out of anyone on the team. With this context, Couturier's stats are impressive.
Now let's breakdown another situation with Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds. Both of these players have poor Corsi statistics as second-line players, but Schenn and Simmonds spent a majority of their season playing with Vincent Lecavalier, whose possession numbers are among the worst on the team.
Andrew MacDonald has the worst possession numbers among defensemen on the team. This is because he allows the forwards to enter the zone more freely than other defensemen.
Looking for this context is also known as the eye-test, it is the other half to the happy medium executives, analysts and fans must find. Statistics only reveal so much about a player. They do not reveal creativity on the ice, nor do they credit hockey sense or mental makeup to measure the worth of a player.
Despite playing less than 19 regular season games with the Flyers, MacDonald helped stabilize the defensive unit with his skating ability, poise with the puck and defensive acumen. Luke Schenn, who had had a terrible season and was often paired with MacDonald, regained some of his form we saw during the lockout-shortened season.
Advanced statistics are not perfect. They will not guarantee what team will win the Stanley Cup at the end of the season, but they can serve as an indicator. Hextall's belief in analytics is a step in the right direction for the Flyers, but he cannot solely rely on Corsi and Fenwick statistics to build a Stanley Cup contender. He and his team of executives need to rely on the eye-test as much as they will rely on the fancy stats. Finding the middle ground is key to a parade down Broad Street.
*The nine teams that made the playoffs and use analytics.
Eastern Conference:
Boston Bruins
Tampa Bay Lightning
Pittsburgh Penguins
Western Conference:
Chicago Blackhawks
Minnesota Wild
Dallas Stars
Los Angeles Kings
San Jose Sharks
St. Louis Blues

Tech Unemployment Half of National Average
According to Dice, the recession is over for software developers, system administrators, and other IT specialists.
The unemployment rate for technology professionals is less than half the national average, according to a recent report from Dice. Specifically, the unemployment rate for technology professionals averaged 3.3 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. The national rate, however, averaged 7.8 percent during the same quarter.
According to Dice's Tech Trends Q4 2012 Report, the unemployment rates for specific job titles were as follows:
- Programmers: 4.6%
- Network and system administrators: 4.3%
- Web developers: 3.5%
- Computer systems analysts: 3.3%
- Software developers: 2.9%
- Database administrators: 1.5%
And, according to the Dice.com Hiring Survey, developers will be highly sought in 2013 as well. The survey, with 1,059 tech-focused hiring managers and recruiters responding, said that the top five hiring priorities for 2013 are: Java/J2EE software developers, mobile developers, .NET developers, data analysts/analytics, and software developers.
Dice noted that the category of data analysts/analytics wasn't even in the top ten last year. But, according to Dice, "harnessing information for business gains is becoming a core skill" and a necessary investment -- causing "big data" job postings on Dice to more than triple, year over year.

After last Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins, a game that was supposed to be a must-win if the Bengals were to have a winning record this season, as they have arguably the toughest second-half schedule of any NFL team. They must bounce back this week if they are to keep these hopes alive, as a loss to the Browns would be crippling in a multitude of ways. Since Marvin Lewis has been the head coach of the Bengals, losses to their Ohio rivals have spelled disaster for the rest of the season.
In 2004, an early road loss to the Browns dropped the Bengals to 1-4 as they finished the year 8-8.
In 2007, with a promising core of players returning after just missing the postseason with an 8-8 season, the Bengals opened up the year with a huge Monday night football win over the defending AFC North champion Baltimore Ravens. They then went to Cleveland, where they dropped a 51-45 shootout to the Browns, and went on to lose 5 of their next 6 to start 2-6 and finish 7-9.
Then in 2008, the Bengals and Browns played in week 4 with the Bengals sitting at 0-3, and after holding a third-quarter lead behind the arm of Ryan Fitzpatrick, the Cincinnati defense could not hold on as Cleveland rallied to drop the Bengals to 0-4 as they started the year 0-8 and finished 4-11-1.
While the Bengals theoretically have a slim chance of still making the postseason this year, in the history of the battle of Ohio, the Bengals have only made the playoffs once since 1988 when losing to the Browns during the regular season. Under Marvin Lewis, all three of the teams' postseason trips came after getting clean sweeps of the Browns, and if the Bengals want to reach their goal of returning to the postseason, something they haven't done in consecutive years since 1981-82, then Sunday is essentially a must-win.

Sony Unveils IPELA Security Cameras and Network Surveillance Recorders at ISC West Show
LAS VEGAS (ISC WEST, Booth # 22063), April 5, 2006 – Sony Electronics is introducing two new IPELA cameras and three network recorders at this year's International Security Conference (ISC) West in Las Vegas. Other announcements...
Sony Offers Motorola-Compatible IPELA Cameras
As part of a reseller agreement with Motorola, Inc., Sony Electronics today announced that its IPELA SNC-RX550N/W-MT and SNC-RX550N/B-MT cameras are compatible with Motorola's MOTOMESH technology, which supports up to four radio networks in a single access point, and Motorola's Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA), a wireless network that maximizes performance and bandwidth efficiency. These cameras differ from Sony's standard SNC-RX550N models since they are designed specifically for Motorola network compatibility.
Being sold by Motorola as its Mesh Camera Wireless Video Networking System, according to the company, the compatibility of its mesh technology with Sony's camera transforms it into a router in the network. The solution is ideal for municipalities looking to improve incident response via cost-effective wireless video monitoring, said Motorola officials.
Through MOTOMESH and MEA wireless PC modem cards, the SNC-RX550N/W-MT and B-MT cameras will draw less power than those cameras requiring external modems and access points, allowing municipalities to reduce deployment costs upwards of 50 percent. Sony's IPELA SNC-RX550N/W-MT and B-MT cameras, compatible with Motorola's mesh networking technology, will be available in May through select resellers.
Laguna and Newport Beach Installations
The task of monitoring and maintaining the safety of swimmers along Laguna and Newport Beach on the California coast is now aided by a wireless deployment of Sony IPELA SNC-RZ25N robotic network cameras. The innovative adaptation of IP-based security technology is key in the off season, when it serves as a force multiplier for the beaches' limited lifeguard staff – giving them a better chance to respond quickly and appropriately to emergency situations. Eric Bauer, lifeguard battalion chief for the Newport Beach Fire Department, said that the initial test of the IPELA system was completed last fall. The first 10 cameras have been deployed to assist through the off season this winter. In addition to delivering visual information back to the command center, according to Bauer, patrol teams will also have access through laptops in patrol vehicles. He added that before long, cameras will be on duty all along the beach and become a regular part of the scenery just like lifeguard towers.
Orlando Regional Healthcare Chooses Sony
Orlando Regional Healthcare (ORH), a private, not-for-profit healthcare network with 1,572-beds spread over eight hospitals in the Orlando, Fla. area, is migrating from analog video security to an IP-based system using Sony's IPELA SNC-DF70N mini dome, fixed-angle network camera in what will grow, according to hospital officials, to be a 500-plus IP camera installation over the next three years. The decision to replace the existing analog system came after hospital officials saw that future security needs at the growing institution could not be met without the fundamental improvements that IP-based systems offer.

To close out Canada Day, my first macro. A very lame play on "you don't have to be crazy to work here, but it helps." Because we all know Canada's first PM was fond of his alcohol.
Happy Canada Day, guys. Enjoy the fireworks that are probably being set off in your city.

Lots of people absolutely can't stand the snow…
However, I can say that my character Peter 'Drake' Smith would love the snow… because he's an ice dragon…. and he thrives in cold temperatures (anything below freezing is best).
Maybe he'd go a little power crazy if England was covered with this much snow…lol
My character's from Bromley, so I based the background on the below, it's near Essex… which is about 1 hour away :)

¡Ask a Mexican!
Published: May 5, 2013
Dear Mexican: Why is it that people from Chihuahua and Monterrey are such jackasses? They come from pinches ranchitos and talk about their haciendas. They cross the border and act as if their cagada does not stink. Why do pinches chihuahuenses act as if they are better than us American citizens? They eat at all-you-can-eat $6.99 buffets and still want to take a plate to go for their abuela and primos and try to feed the whole familia. They stay at our hotels and treat the maids like rats, as if they were conquistadores. They speak loud as if every one wanted to hear what they have to say — they are not E.F. Hutton. They think that their putos pesos can buy anything, When you ask them where do they come from, they start by telling you that their abuelos are Spaniards and most of their familia are Spaniards as if they are ashamed to be called mexicanos. The women wear their pantalones so tight that when they walk, they go up their puto culo, with their fake blond hair. Please tell those cabrones chihuahuenses and putos monterreyes que cool down, they are just as Mexicans as the rest of us, that they still smell like frijoles and are not Spaniards.
Hernan Cortez
Dear Gachupín: Nothing like some intra-Mexican hatred to prove that the idea of a Mexican nation united for Reconquista is as realistic as a Mexican government free of narco money! Your specific insults toward people from the Mexican state of Chihuahua (or, as they're known in El Paso, fronchis) and city of Monterrey (their nickname is regiomontanos) marks you as someone from Texas, as that's where the majority of immigrants from northern Mexico have landed. And the reason they act so uppity isn't so much because of where they're from but what they are: ricos who have fled the chaos of their home states for the safety of Texas, where pompous, ostentatious pendejos are not only welcomed, they become governors and presidents.
I'm a gabacha...kind of. I was born here but my padres are mexicanos. So I'm a gabachacana. Anyway my question is in regards to fixing my authentic mexicano's papeles. He's 23, and I heard that once you're past 18, it's harder to do it. He's never been in trouble with the law, he pays taxes, and he's a hard worker. But I heard that even all that would do him no good and if I go through trying to fix his papers, he would need to spend like 10 years in Mexico. Now, I'm a patient person, but que chingado man? I'm not gonna risk him meeting some paisana hoochie over there and having me wait 10 years for him. So, what steps can I take to prevent such an atrocity? What would you suggest be the best way to go about in fixing his papers without the risk of having him meet some skeezer down south?

Brandi Glanville Denies Eddie Cibrian Affairby Free Britney at . Comments
Brandi Glanville is lashing out over online rumors that she's been having an affair with her ex-husband, Eddie Cibrian, insisting she would "never do that."
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star has been linked to her ex since his current wife, LeAnn Rimes, checked into a treatment facility last month.
"I'm NOT cheating with my ex husband I would never do that #EWWWWWW," Glanville, who has publicly supported Rimes, wrote on Twitter Sunday.
Glanville and Rimes have famously been at odds since her affair with Cibrian when he was still married to Brandi and LeAnn was Mrs. Dean Sheremet.
Despite a bitter relationship that included Glanvile threatening to kill LeAnn, she, Eddie and Rimes appeared to have reached a truce in recent months.
"I totally support LeAnn's decision to enter rehab," she said in a statement. "My top priority is my children and at the end of the day we are a family."
Rumors persisted that LeAnn's stress and anxiety issues stem from Glanville finally getting revenge for Rimes' wrecking her marriage to the actor.
Not the case, she insists, though the affair likely played an indirect role in driving LeAnn to seek treatment. She's endured merciless bullying over it.
The country star left her in-patient treatment program Friday for three days of concerts. She's announced she'll be returning to the facility Monday.

Holly lighten up. The main thing people are critical of is the fact that she committed adultery with a man who had two young children. Bow your head and pray for her soul.
Actually I should state it's not a given he has cheated on her but a woman usually knows intuitively if something is amiss..and she's feeling it. Chances are if it hasn't happened yet it is probably just a matter of time. First time i've ever posted but had a friend go through the same and it was painful to watch. This particular scenario pisses me off.
I do not understand how she WOULD NOT know deep down that the same would happen to her after the end of the "honeymoon" period. His cheating ways are not s result of the women he is with but his own issues obviously. If a beautiful wife and children could not keep his interest what makes her think she would? I feel no empathy whatsoever for LR..she behaved very badly not only by horning in on a troubled marriage and not giving his longterm partner the respect of closure in a proper way...but PARADING herself as a "bonus" mom and taunting the wife w her ridiculous pictures all over the internet of her new "family"...in a very painful period..the end of her marriage. Her behaviour after the fact showed her true colors. What an absolute hag for having no consideration or iota of integrity. Women like this
weaken womamhood as a whole. And HIM! Don't care if he's decent looking...what a WEAK specimen of a man.
May the Lord continue to look after LeAnn and give her the strength to over come the words out of those who do nothing but tear down her EVERY move. (bowing my head). God bless her always! Holly in East Tennessee (a day one fan of her). P.S. I can't wait to hear her new songs! (big smile)
What's wrong with Brandi's face? She looks NASTY!!!
If he's not cheating, he will be. Maybe she's petrified because she knows it's coming. What goes around, comes around Leann dear!!!
Holy crap Brandi Glanville looks like she was just liberated from a POW camp--nothing but bones. Her kneecaps are wider than her thighs.
wow what a perfect revenge if it were true. "So how does it feel?"

Help with Group Policy?
Hi everyone,
I Googled this to death, but could not find a direct or easy answer to how to do this or even if its possible.
I want to know if its possible, on one local machine, to apply Group Policy restrictions to just one user account, or at least to prevent the restrictions from being applied to the administrator account? When I apply the Group Policy restrictions they do work, but they're automatically applied to (my) admin account as well.
Is there any feasible way to figure this out? You'd think it would be possible to do.
Thank you SO much to anyone who helps out.
|My System Specs
|27 Oct 2009
Hi CIS,
As the concept of group policy is derived from the Client server network model a local policy, which I would assume is the type involved here, will apply to all local accounts.
If you can give more information on the restrictions you are trying to apply there may be an alternative method of achieving this for certain user groups only
|My System Specs
|27 Oct 2009
Thanks muchly for your quick reply, Nigel!
Basically I want to prevent the people who use the standard user account from closing a certain progam that will run from startup... it's the OpenDNS automatic IP updater software.
I know that Group Policy can block both the task manager and the system tray, so I'd hoped to use it. I can still use GP if there are no other workarounds, I'll just have to temporarily remove the settings every time I want to use the computer... which is a minor nuisance but I figured there must be a way to avoid applying the Group Policy restrictions to the admin account altogether.
Anyway thanks for your assistance.
|My System Specs
|27 Oct 2009
One way that may work is to change the user permissions on the executable for the program you wish to restrict
for the task manager this would be taskmgr.exe.
if you add specific rights for those users you wish to use it and remove all the access from the everyone group from the executable, that should stop anyone using it you do not want to.
Another way would be to add the run as administrator to taskmgr.exe. any attempted use by a std user account should cause a UAC elevation prompt.
If I recall the actual openDNS updator can be hidden so that may be enough depending on the level of your users.
The run as admin trick is more difficult with this directly as you presumably wish it to run from a std user login - this is possible by setting the run as admin and then starting the program by use of a start-up task scheduler event for each user with the run with highest rights set on.
One warning with any of this is of course make a backup of the program before you experiment in case you lock yourself out.
You may feel that the group policy method is easier of course
|My System Specs
|27 Oct 2009
Thanks again for your suggestions, Nigel.
I checked OpenDNS Updater and yes, it turns out there is an auto-hide option. Now all I have to do is disable the Task Manager, which I'll just do through Group Policy.

In order to fill out a deposit slip, you may need to list information such as the account number, amount of money being deposited, and whether or not these funds are in the form of cash or checks. You may also need to include the amount of cash you would like to receive back, if any. You will likely need to sign the form as well. The document may vary based upon whether you are adding money to a savings or checking account. It can also change from one financial institution to the next.
In most instances, you will need to know your account number when making a deposit. This number may already be printed on these forms in some cases. This is usually true of checking accounts, which typically provide pre-printed slips along with new orders of blank checks.
Most financial institutions require you to list the amount of money you wish to add to your account. A deposit slip may have separate lines for you to enter individual checks. This may be followed by a subtotal block. After this, another area may be reserved for you to write in the amount of cash you are depositing.
If you would like to receive part of the deposited money back, in cash, you can indicate this on the deposit slip. This way, the teller can pay you this amount after the total has been placed into your account. This sum should be deducted from the overall deposit total, in order to determine the amount that has been added to your checking or savings balance.
A deposit slip is not normally valid until it has been signed. This should only be done in ink. It should also be executed at the time the deposit is being made. This is so that another individual cannot use this document to gain access to your account, should it become lost before you arrive at the bank.
Even though the basic information required is generally the same, the actual deposit slip may differ from a savings to a checking account. The form provided by one financial institution may also look different than that of another. For these reasons, it is important that you read this document carefully when you are making it out.
Filling out a deposit slip can be intimidating at first. After you have done so a few times, it will likely become very simple for you to do. This can make it easy for you to add money to your bank account and take control of your finances when doing so.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

Friends remember Wolfeboro Realtor killed in crash
Ferenc Nagy, 50, of Gilmanton was driving his Chevrolet pickup truck south when it struck a northbound Chevrolet Impala driven by Mary Lovasco, 54, of the Mirror Lake area of Tuftonboro.
Nagy, Lovasco, and two of Lovasco's dogs were killed in the crash.
Police Chief Ryan Heath said the cause of the accident is not yet known.
"The autopsies have been done, and about all I can say now is they both died on contact when the crash occurred," Heath said.
Nagy, who lived in Gilmanton and was a former member of that town's conservation commission, became a broker associate at Wolfeboro Bay Real Estate four years ago, and was very popular with customers and office mates, said Lisa Williams, a broker and owner of the firm.
Nagy, who was of German descent and spoke with a slight accent, Williams said, was "highly intelligent, sweet, kind, pleasant person" who was also very successful in real estate sales, she said. He loved the outdoors, was a hunter and fisherman.
He moved to the state 15 years ago after graduating from Northeastern University, according to his self-written biography for the business's website. He was involved with the Boy Scouts as a volunteer, where he had his "first glimpses of the quality of life here in the Granite State."
"He was a great guy, and he loved it here," said fellow Wolfeboro Bay Realtor Dave Belleau.
Williams said she had been working with Nagy in the hours before he died.
"At least I got those last few hours with him," she said. "He was talking about his Florida trip, he was leaving this weekend. I can't believe he's gone."
Funeral arrangements for Nagy and Lovasco were not available Thursday.

The Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) cut-point method, proposed by Beaton (1994), is a shortcut derived from the probability approach described above. In contrast to the probability approach, the EAR cut-point method simply requires the distribution of requirements to be symmetrical. It is not necessary to know the actual variance of the requirement distribution, only its size relative to the intake variance. Like the probability approach, the EAR cut-point method requires knowledge of the median requirement (the EAR) for the nutrient and the distribution of usual intakes in the population.
Table 4-1 summarizes whether nutrients for which Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) have been established as of this writing (IOM, 1997, 1998b, 2000) meet the assumptions necessary to apply the EAR cut-point method for assessing the prevalence of inadequacy for groups.
The cut-point method is very simple. The population prevalence of inadequate intakes is computed as the proportion of the group
Box 4-1 The EAR cut-point method—what it is, and why it works
This method is very straightforward, and surprisingly, can sometimes be as accurate as the probability approach. With this method, the population prevalence of inadequate intakes is simply the proportion of the population with intakes below the median requirement (EAR). Modest departures from any of the assumptions listed below are likely to have only a small effect on the performance of the EAR cut-point method. However, the method does not work with nutrients such as energy where it is known that intakes and requirements are highly correlated, or with iron requirements in menstruating women where the requirement distribution is known to be highly skewed rather than symmetrical.
This method works well when:

The audition
Hooray for Bollywood
Over two afternoons of a weekend in early September, six returning members of Shaan, the newest a cappella group on campus, held auditions in the O'Connell House music room, an elegant parlor with intricate molding, a fireplace, and a somewhat gritty grand piano. Having lost seven members—five to graduation and two to attrition—the coed ensemble, which numbered 15 performers last year, was looking for new vocalists, "especially a tenor and a bass," said Priyasha Chaturvedi '14, Shaan's president, its music codirector, and a soprano. It was a scene likely mirrored at auditions going on across campus for Boston College's nine other a cappella groups, except for one question on the Shaan audition sheet: "What's your favorite Bollywood song?"
Shaan, which means "pride" in Hindi, is Boston College's first South Asian a cappella group. To the doo-wahs and vocal beatboxing of standard collegiate a cappella, Shaan adds the rhythms, melodies, and Hindi lyrics of popular Bollywood songs, sometimes entwined in mashups with popular western tunes—"Kabira" (Encore), from the 2013 generation Y romantic comedy Yeh Jaawani Hai Deewani (This Youth Is Crazy), paired with Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors," for example.
The group was founded in fall 2010, as an offshoot of the South Asian Student Association (SASA) and made a splash at the SASA 2011 Culture Show the following spring, when the vocalists performed an arrangement of "Jiya Jale" (My Feelings are Rekindled), a fast-paced lilting tune from the 1998 movie Dil Se (From the Heart). The group has opened for Voices of Imani, the University's gospel choir, and for a Bollywood-themed theater department production of A Midsummer Night's Dream staged at the Robsham Theater in April 2012. Now a registered student organization in its own right, Shaan performed at Acappellafest on September 14 and will sing at the Arts Festival in the spring, the men dressed in white tunics over maroon pants with maroon-and-gold scarves, and the women wearing maroon tunics over white leggings with white and gold scarves. The group's performances are fist-pumping, hip-swaying exuberant, even while shying from the flamboyant choreography of Bollywood shows.
The Shaan auditions attract students with a range of musical backgrounds. "Some are people who come to college with choral experience and know they want to continue singing," said Jessica Leong '14, a soprano in her third year with Shaan. "Some have never had the opportunity to sing with a group and want to explore that in college."
Sourabh Banthia '17, a bass, was first to audition. He didn't have any sort of formal music background, he said, though he had recently joined the marching band as a cymbal player. Learning that Banthia had arrived from India for the first time less than two weeks earlier, Chaturvedi, a native of Masachusetts, encouraged him to attend a SASA gathering the next day. "There are going to be samosas," she promised.
When it came time to sing, Banthia looked nervous, shifting back and forth from foot to foot. "We'll warm up along with you," Chaturvedi said, and Shaan's members, seated in chairs lined up along the window, joined him in ascending oooh's and descending aaahs's. Chaturvedi listened for the limits of his range, and reported to codirector Mat Thomas '14 that "the F sharp was too low, but the G worked." Next, she told Banthia, "Mat will sing a note, and you should try to match his pitch and volume, blending so you sound like one voice." Finally, the group sat back and listened as Banthia performed his audition song—"Tum Hi Ho" (It Is Only You), an earnest, slow-paced ballad from the recent Bollywood blockbuster Aashiqui 2.
Shaan's secretary, John Thompson '14, a bass who is also from Massachusetts, was positioned at a table outside the music room, greeting visitors with audition sheets and a package of chocolate chip cookies. When the next candidate turned out to be another international student, this time from China, Thompson observed to a companion, "By default, we're the most international a cappella group on campus." When he tells people he performs with Shaan, he said, the usual reaction is, "'Do you speak Hindi?' But honestly, I don't know what I'm saying." "I'm here," he says, "because I just love to sing and I like new and different things."
When there are Hindi lyrics that everyone needs to learn, Chaturvedi emails a phonetic version to the group. As Leong describes the experience of singing with Shaan, the words may not be familiar to her, but "I'm making the right sounds."
If the soloist doesn't speak Hindi, Chaturvedi says, she usually works on the pronunciation one-on-one.
Most of the student auditioners—there were 15 in all—opted for a solo in English. Andrew Lee '16, a tenor from Massachusetts by way of Seoul, Korea, and Los Angeles, noted on his audition sheet that he had spent two summers singing opera in Italy. After apologizing for his scratchy voice ("Don't worry, we're all sick too," replied Chaturvedi), he belted out Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes off You." Afterward, Leong asked Lee, "When you first walked in, you said you really wanted to join this organization. Why?"
Lee explained that he had missed the group's recent performance at an a cappella showcase held for freshmen in the McMullen Museum, "but my friends said, 'Dude, you've got to join that group—that mashup was so sick.'
"I said, 'But I'm not South Asian.' My friends said, 'It's OK, there was a white guy there.'" The members of Shaan cracked up, and all eyes turned to Thompson, who just grinned.
Though South Asian a cappella may be new to the Boston College community, it's been part of the collegiate scene for almost 20 years, with the 1996 founding of Penn Masala at the University of Pennsylvania. (There is no tradition of a cappella in India.) An invitational showcase, Sa Re Ga Ma Pella (after Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, the name of a singing competition on Indian TV and the pitches in an Indian musical scale), was started at the University of Michigan in 2010 and has since been hosted on several campuses.
When they were starting out, Shaan's members looked to more experienced groups for inspiration, watching their performances on YouTube (Chaturvedi also consulted a cousin in Michigan's Maize Mirchi). Now Shaan generates its own repertoire. The group votes on a list of song prospects, and codirectors Chaturvedi and Thomas work out arrangements of the top three or four picks.
And how have more established musical groups on campus reacted to the newcomers? "They're great," says Terry Gelsi '15 of the Dynamics. "Most people here haven't heard traditional Bollywood, let alone it mixed with Coldplay. They bring a much-needed cultural component to a cappella at BC." Shaan's visibility on campus will likely increase with the release of its first album, due out this winter.
With auditions concluded, Shaan numbered 13 members (11 singers and two beatboxers). Lee and Banthia both made the cut, as did three altos: freshmen Haesoo Yoon and Lucy Xu, and Kayla Costigan '15.

I've been here for a few months, but I haven't written anything about myself until now.
I'm from Krakow (Poland) and photography has been my passion for more than 15 years. I don't have "my" subject, and this is cool on the one hand, but on the other, well, I cannot focus on one thing. For more than 3 years I've worked as a wedding photographer (I can name it my "second" job). I use Nikon, but I learned photography with an old, manual Porst (m42 system) - it was a great and enjoyable time.
Sometimes, when I look at pictures here, I have a strong temptationto opening awindow and throwing my cameras, lenses and other stuff away, but the problem is that I live on the ground floor, and something could survive This place is very inspiring, showing so many good, fantastic and even better photos. It's nice to be a part of it and I hope my photos will improve
welcome to ePz new member
We all have periods of photographers block, being away from the camera sounds scary but it can help, leave it alone for a few weeks if you can, without stressing about it, just browse the images here if that helps, it should certainly inspire you until you find your subject.
But why stick with just one subject when you can flirt with them all, good luck
i always find buying new kit help with inspiration .....kidding..sort of.
actually buy or borrow some photo books, theyre great for finding ideas. or try setting yourself a project. doesnt have to be anything great, just 'black and white trees' or 'snow'.
Hi Pawel and welcome to the friendliest photo site. I had a look at your portfolio and I think you have taken some good shots. I started taking pictures many many years ago with a Zenth and just like you Prost everything was manual so you learned what worked and what didn't. For a focus on what to do think about what you like to look at and if there's more than 1 thing pick something to try. We have all been there but eventually it works out.
WELCOME TO THE SITE - your portfolio has some great shots. Love your sense of humour. The daily challenge is a good forum to participate in because it challenges us. Photography is something everyone can keep improving on - and we learn from the inspiring people on this site, some of who have been taking photos for many years therefore have a lot of knowledge to pass on. As long as we keep light hearted and just enjoy our craft, we will keep improving.
Thanks very much for the warm welcome
Daily challenge... well, sounds interesting I think I could have a go.

Christian, It's Time to Get Your Hopes Up
- Friday, September 27, 2013
This isn't a prosperity gospel, however. I'm not saying that God is obligated to give us whatever we want — such as a great job — if only we have enough faith. How could I, given current headlines? Christians are getting mowed down in Syria, Kenya, and Pakistan, just to cite three examples. Yet are they without hope? I think not! As Scripture says, "Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints" (Psalm 116:15). No, whatever life or the devil throws at us, however terrible, it comes at the permission of God. We have hope in all circumstances, in this life and the next (Romans 8:18).
The question is, what are we going to do in the face of calamities as big as ethnic cleansing or as small as a job loss? As one who faces the one and not the other, I choose to hold onto hope. The Book of Hebrews encourages us "to hold fast to the hope set before us. … a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul" (Hebrews 6:18-19).
We Christians talk a good game when all appears to be going well — when nothing throws a roadblock in front of our pursuit of personal peace and affluence. But what is anchoring our soul when something bad comes our way … when a storm blows in? What do we say? And what do we do?
I choose to act as if this "Christianity thing" is real and that it makes a difference, in good times and in bad, so that people who see my response are so intrigued that they ask me to give a reason for the hope that is in me (1 Peter 3:15). I don't always succeed, but that is the goal. What's yours?
One of my models in this approach to the hard things of life, which we all can expect, is the late Tony Snow, who died of colon cancer. "The moment you enter the Valley of the Shadow of Death," he wrote a few years ago, "things change. You discover that Christianity is not something doughy, passive, pious, and soft. Faith may be the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But it also draws you into a world shorn of fearful caution. The life of belief teems with thrills, boldness, danger, shocks, reversals, triumphs, and epiphanies."
I want to eagerly live in a "world shorn of fearful caution," too. Don't you? It can be dizzying for sure. But that's what hope is all about.
Christian, it's time to get your hopes up.
