Saturday's your last chance to vote early
BY BECKY SCHLIKERMAN Staff Reporter email@example.com November 2, 2012 7:40PM
Lauren Kaeseberg, with her son Atticus, 5 months, was one of the many Chicago voters who lined up to cast their ballots in early voting at the Cook County Office Building, 69 W. Washington, Friday morning. | Rich Hein~Sun-Times

Saturday is the last day for Illinois residents to cast early votes, and election officials believe the polls will be busy.
"I do expect people to be coming out of the woodwork," Cook County Clerk David Orr said Friday. "Assuming the weather is nice, I expect a big turnout tomorrow."
That's the same for city of Chicago sites.
"Get there early" said Jim Allen, a spokesman for the Chicago Board of Elections. "If you don't get there early, bring a book."
Allen said some of the city's busiest sites saw waits of more than two hours Friday.
All city and suburban Cook County sites are open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., officials said.
On Friday, about 200,000 suburban Cook County residents, or about 14 percent of registered voters, voted early, according to the clerk's office. In the city, more than 200,000 residents, or about 15 percent of registered voters, had cast early votes as of Friday afternoon Allen said.
In 2008, 226,084 suburban Cook County residents voted early, according to the clerk's office. In the city that year, more than 260,000 voters cast early votes, Allen said.
Saturday is also the last day for "grace period" registration and voting, which can only be done at 69 W. Washington, 6th Floor, Allen said.

Monday - October 27, 2014
Handsome and Homeless: A Down-and-Out RomeoDr. Phil sits down with "Homeless Joe," a 26-year-old YouTube sensation who survives the mean streets of Manhattan by panhandling during the day and picking up women at night. Joe says he relies on his good looks and charm to convince women to take him home -- giving him a place to sleep and a hot shower a few nights a week. On the other nights, he makes his bed on a piece of cardboard. How did he end up living on the streets? Joe's friend, Pedro, says Joe is a good guy but is an alcoholic who needs help -- which is why he drove Joe across the country to meet Dr. Phil. Is this "cardboard Casanova" interested in turning his life around?

Bright, Beautiful and Blowing It: "Help My Teen Before It's Too Late!"Vanessa and Kurt are fed up with Vanessa's 15-year-old daughter, Emily, who they say is drinking, smoking pot, popping prescription pills and causing constant chaos. Vanessa admits she has no clue what to do, and Kurt says Emily makes life in the house so unbearable that he rarely speaks to her — and would prefer she move out. Emily admits she occasionally drinks and smokes pot but insists she's not the partier her mother and stepfather make her out to be. How does she describe her behavior? And, hear from Emily's biological father, Jason, who says he supports his daughter and doesn't believe she is out of control — is he just naive? Dr. Phil brings this blended family together in search of a solution. Will Emily and her parents take ownership of the situation and get this family back on track?
Wednesday - October 29, 2014
Minny and Lon Return: "What Can We Do to Get Our Children Out of Foster Care?"Nine months ago, Minny and Lon appeared on the show after their then 17-year-old son, Andrue, tragically tried to take his own life. Andrue said he acted out of desperation and accused his mother and stepfather of physically and mentally abusing him along with his three younger siblings — allegations Andrue's parents have strongly denied. Based on testimony from Andrue, the younger children were placed into foster care. Now, Minny and Lon, who have separated, are back on the show in an effort to regain custody and hopefully mend their relationship with Andrue. Dr. Phil has some tough questions for Minny and Lon, who seem relentless in pointing fingers at each other. Is either fit to raise the children? Emotions run high when Andrue joins the conversation — what does he want for his siblings? Can Dr. Phil calm this family's chaos and put a plan in place for the future?
Thursday - October 30, 2014
Abused Wife Refuses to Leave Her Pro Fighter HusbandKaitlyn and her professional fighter husband, Josh, made headlines in August when he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her on two separate occasions over one weekend.

She insists Josh, with whom she has two kids, doesn't belong in jail and blames her mother, Karen, for "meddling" and contacting police. Emotions run high when the women sit down with Dr. Phil — why is Kaitlyn defending Josh? Hear the unusual explanation she gives for some of his questionable behavior. Then, in an exclusive interview, Josh speaks out for the first time in a phone call from jail. What does he say about the situation? Dr. Phil has a strong warning for Kaitlyn — and an offer of help.

Michelle's mother, Patricia, and sister, Jennifer, insist the young mother never would have taken her own life, and they believe Michelle's boyfriend, Jeremy — a sheriff's deputy — killed her, which he denies. Michelle's brother, Scott — also a sheriff's deputy — supports Jeremy and says his mother and sister need to stop living in denial. How does he answer his mother's accusation that he's betraying his family to save his job? Dr. Phil brings this fractured family together in search of answers. What happened to Michelle that night? Hear from one of the first responders on the scene — why does she believe the initial finding of suicide was wrong? Plus, can this family put their differences aside and come together and grieve for Michelle?

Liu Bolin's Latest 'Hiding In The City' Photographs
Chinese artist Liu Bolin's artistic angle has often seen the artist blend seamlessly into the general landscape around him whether it be pre-existing art walls or even the likes of supermarkets and gun racks (seen his full selection of past examples here). His latest endeavor captured by Alex Brown for the NY Times involves the streets of New York City as he takes on a part of Meres One's "Jungle" wall at 5Pointz Aerosol Arts Center in Queens. Bolin is currently in town as part of his exhibition at Eli Klein Fine Art and this latest contribution to his "Hiding In The City" series has followed a similar urban path across the world.

Vladimir Lenin's birthplace will be home to Bombardier Inc.'s newest factory if a planned joint venture comes to fruition. But the escalating crisis in Ukraine and the threat of additional sanctions against Moscow could halt progress on those talks just as Bombardier gets set to grab a piece of the growing Russian aviation market.
The Montreal-based aerospace company is currently negotiating with state-owned Rostec Corp. to jointly build a new plant in Ulyanovsk, a special economic zone about 900 kilometers southeast of Moscow that takes its name from Lenin's birth name. That plant would manufacture at least 100 Q400 turboprops for Rostec and leasing company Ilyushin Finance Co. in a deal worth US$3.4-billion at list prices.
Bombardier's shares rose 2.6% when the proposed deal was announced last August. Since then, shares have plummeted 20%.
In addition, Ilyushin ordered 32 CSeries jets with options for 10 more. If the options are exercised, that deal would be worth another US$3.4-billion.
But the ongoing violence in Eastern Ukraine, which intensified last week when Russian-backed rebels allegedly shot down a Malaysia Airlines flight, is adding uncertainty to Bombardier's business ventures in Russia.
"Bombardier remains committed to the
The Department of Foreign Affairs did not respond to a request for comment.
The deputy CEO of Russian tank maker Uralvagonzavod said recently that sanctions will hurt North American firms like Bombardier more than they'll hurt Russian companies like his.
"They wanted to enter the Russian market. Now some other companies will take their place," Alexei Zharich told Russia's ITAR-TASS news agency, referring to Bombardier and Caterpillar Inc.
But Russia only accounted for a tiny portion — about 3% — of Bombardier's overall revenue including rail contracts in 2013, according to Brian Langenberg, principal of industrial analysis firm Langenberg & Co.
"At the end of the day, I actually don't think there's a long-term impact if Russia says they will or will not be buying more Bombardier aircraft," Mr. Langenberg said.
However, Bombardier stressed the growth potential of the Russian aviation market.
"Russia remains a key market. We see a huge amount of growth coming out of that market because the aviation industry needs replacement aircraft," said Ms. Delabarrera.
Russia's airline passenger numbers will see a compound annual growth rate of 7.7% between 2012 and 2017, according to a forecast from the International Air Transport Association.
And Russia's huge land mass and cold weather — much like Canada's — make it an ideal market for the Q400, said Mr. Hansen.
"It's still a relatively small piece of aerospace business today, but it is an important growth market and it really is well suited to their aircraft," he said.
"They need new growth opportunities and Russia is a really attractive one."
Russia could also turn into an important market for the CSeries jet, which has been beset by delays. Bombardier has been struggling to secure firm orders for the plane with the goal of reaching 300 before its scheduled entry into service in the latter half of 2015.
Ilyushin is the second largest customer for the CSeries after Indiana-based Republic Airways Holdings Inc.

My friend and I were discussing the end of Free! ES and she was like "where attractive anime/manga males now"?
And so I said "you know how I occasionally get you into random fandoms? Well…let me introduce you to Karneval…."
A video made for the Museum of Cluny, and its "The Sword: Uses, Myths and Symbols" exhibit. It tries to dispel some of the beliefs that are still prevalent today about the weight and mobility of fighters in plate armor and show some of the techniques used in combat against armored opponents
I'm always pleased to see videos like this. It's as if people won't believe unless they're shown (and there are always some who go "ah, yes, well, in aluminium stage armour it's easy.")
Well, the Museum Cluny video, like the Royal Armoury demo team, uses real steel armour: those two pictures at the start show the originals; the video uses reproductions because no curator will let someone take two exhibits from his museum and roll them around on flagstones. Mike Loades in the UK has been doing similar armour demonstrations for years, as has Tobias Capwell of the Wallace Collection. Eventually the old "clunky, immobile, in with a wrench, out with a can-opener" image of plate armour will go away – but I won't hold my breath. (That shade of purple isn't a good complexion anyway…)
Even the faster demonstrations of these combat techniques are still dialled back to about half speed. Try to visualise how much quicker and more brutal this would be if the two fighters meant business, when the first rule was Do It To Him As Quickly As Possible Before He Does It To You.
Writer and swordsman Guy Windsor writes about doing motion-capture work for a computer game; his completely authentic techniques couldn't be used because they were so small, fast and economical. The game needed big swashing movements because the real thing looked unrealistic, too insignificant to be effective…
You won't see a "killing fight" (full speed, full power, full intent) recreated very often, either on documentaries or in museum exhibitions, because it's very, very dangerous for (when you think about it) obvious reasons. These techniques from 600-year-old fight manuals were how men in armour maimed and killed other men in armour - and since they're the original material, not a re-interpretation after 600 years of being diluted down to sport-safe levels, the techniques will still maim and kill men in armour. Even a blunt "safe" sword is pointed enough (first demo on the video, 1:54-59) to go into a helmet's eye-slot and through the skull inside…
But if you're lucky enough to see a full-speed demo between fighters in real armour using wasters (wooden practice swords), be prepared to pick your jaw up from the floor. It is awesome. And also as scary as hell.
Comments on comments:
"Pretty much proof positive that the people who claim that skimpy female fantasy armor is for increased maneuverability don't know what they're talking about."
They know exactly what they're talking about. They want to see T&A on fantasy game and book covers, and since they don't have the balls to be honest about it, this is their excuse.
"It amazes me that the old saws about Western armour and techniques are still going about, because surely two minutes' thought would let you know that of course knights had to be able to get up off the ground… Europeans were wearing armour for centuries, why wouldn't they develop techniques of fighting in it?"
It's easier to laugh (do the same people laugh about samurai?) and repeat what "everyone knows about armour" than it is to waste that two minutes thought. Thinking might reveal something to mess with set opinions, and that would be annoying…
"Biggest pet peeve: People commenting on the weight and shape of armour restricting mobility…"
As before - "everybody knows" that European armour is massive and clunky because that's what "everybody knows." God forbid they should ever apply the "if it was so useless then why was it used" logic to anything. Because then they might realise that what "everybody knows" is wrong.
I'm going off to (not) hold my breath for a while… :-P
I saw this video in the fascinating special exhibit at Cluny last time we were in Paris. So pleased to be able to have it on tap, because it was most excellent.

Georgia Thunder
Gene Rivers, age: 43, Snellville, GA
Gene Rivers, who towed up all the way from Snellville, Georgia, with his E-Body, took home the best time slip of the day and garnered the "long distance" award. Gene's beast is a factory 'Cuda 340 that now uses some hefty internals to displace 396 inches of small-block thunder. Gene, who won several musclecar-type shootouts in the late '80s and early '90s, admits he's probably ruined this car as a collector's item, but he has those regular 11-second timeslips to prove it was all worth it.
Gene's plan was to simply get laps in and fine-tune the engine for better performances. The fairly radical car is normally street-driven 100 miles when going to Atlanta Dragway, but the crew towed to New Jersey. Previously, his best time had been an 11.55 at 117.9, a number he bettered on all but two runs this day.

Along with leach-craft known to all our respected Chirurgeonate I have learned what the ancient Greeks call masso and from the Arab's mass, meaning to press, squeeze or knead. I plan along with another healer trained as I to share our healing touch at events we attend. The first of which I will be attending is this Saturday as has already been mentioned. We will also be attending Fighter Practice this Sunday. If you wish to partake of our skills there is no charge at these events.

Cliff Redd is coming up on the first anniversary of his self-proclaimed "life sentence." The John Lithgow look-alike fairly squirms in his seat as he talks about his return to the Shakespeare Festival of Dallas, where he took up last April 15 where he left off in 1997 as executive director. His perch is no electric chair, certainly, and not exactly a hot seat; although, considering the sheer magnitude of the changes he's made in less than a year, you'd think something was burning his butt. "This is our experimental year," he says. "After a 30-year, successful history in Dallas, we're looking to plan the next 30 years. My focus is on the festival of the future."
Redd ran the Shakespeare Festival from 1989 to 1997, then spent 18 months heading up Dallas' art charity, The 500 Inc. With a theater-practiced, passionate delivery, he explains how he wasn't miserable, exactly, during his short stint at The 500 Inc.; he just couldn't shake being identified with Shakespeare. "They tried to rebrand this face with the new organization," Redd says, "but it didn't work. People would walk up to me in the grocery story and start talking Shakespeare." Board members and other supporters and colleagues at the festival kept after him, even as he struggled to do his best for The 500 Inc. So he agreed to come back. And now that he's back, he's in it for the long haul. "I love what's happening here, and I love what's happening with the festival," he says. "That's why I say now it's a life sentence."
Redd's renewed energy for his old job is palpable as he talks about new programming ideas for the 2000 season, planned celebrations for the Shakespeare festival's 30th in 2001, the revamped Web site (www.shakespearedallas.org), and the re-establishment of the festival's active guild of volunteers and benefactors. But first, he's busy digging the nonprofit arts organization out of a hole. In his absence, Redd says, the Shakespeare Festival of Dallas fell on hard times, accruing $250,000 in debt. "We've done a great job of getting it back on track in less than a year," he says. "We're in the midst of a matching grant of $125,000 from the Eugene McDermott Foundation."
Another big project and risky undertaking for the Redd-led festival is the recently announced one-year, $850,000 capital campaign for major, permanent facilities improvements at the festival's home in East Dallas' Samuell Grand Park. "We've talked about this for 10 years at least," Redd says. "We have made some progress over the years, but it's never as fast as you want it. This year, we made a shift. We were looking to make some profound demonstration to the Dallas Parks Department and to the city council that we would undertake some fund-raising ourselves for some of these buildings that were for us."
He believes they're off to a flying start. The Dallas Foundation has given $75,000, and the Karl Hoblitzelle Foundation recently kicked in $93,000 toward the project.
The improvements include a new entry plaza, an expanded sound and lighting booth with reserved VIP seating, and a pre- and post-performance pavilion for wooing and rewarding corporate donors. Redd believes fund-raising and construction of the multi-facility mission can be accomplished in two or three years. "The city has made it very easy for us to do this," he says, citing support from Councilwoman Veletta Lill, Assistant City Manager Jill Jordan, and parks and recreation's Larry Smith. "It's my belief that if we build one or two of these buildings, then I think the city will become very involved to help us finish the rest of what we want done."
Lill can't say that the city's perennially tight budget would have any room -- now or in the future -- to build some Tudor-style park buildings used less than two months of the year for Shakespeare. But she's been industrious about supporting the project. "There is some money that was part of the 1998 bond that was for Samuell Grand Park, and some of that will be used specifically to do ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance and to leverage the dollars that the Shakespeare Festival is raising," she says. Lill says $150,000 is available, and since it is a re-allocation of money already earmarked for the park, she expects council and parks department support for using it for the improvement project.
Redd's proposed improvements will solve another problem for the city park, Lill says. "Our concern has been over time that Samuell Grand has been underutilized." Lill says the city needs more venues to offer to the hundreds of requests for special-event sites and believes that existing arts organizations might be interested in the new and improved amphitheater. "Other theater performances can be staged there, the symphony can play," she says, "and it could serve small arts groups and school arts groups throughout the year. There is nothing better than sitting under the stars."
Redd wouldn't argue with that, and he's supportive of sharing his potentially stellar digs with other arts organizations. "The gift of the Shakespeare Festival is, we can make alliances and partnerships and we're not in competition for the ticket dollar of everybody else in town. I believe the future of the arts in this country is all about partnerships." To build bigger audiences for Dallas' only "free cultural-literacy program," he's pounced headlong on a new programming strategy -- presenting productions of Shakespeare rather than producing them -- and using partnerships with other Shakespeare companies to do it. "There is essentially no cost difference in our putting on five productions as a presenter this year compared to mounting two plays as a producing organization," he says.

I am using a Tamron 200-500mm on a D7000. Since a few weeks I have been having trouble with the lens. Using another Nikor lens does not give any problems with the same body.
I am getting a f33/fee error if a turn the lens too much clock wise. Also sometimes I cannot use autofocus, the motor seems to spin step by step which takes for ever to focus.
What to do???
I live in Costa Rica in the jungle, only monkeys here and I have already asked them..
It sounds like a hot sweaty place. Have you tried storing the lens in a plastic bag with some silica gel. Perhaps the contacts have moisture in them.
aperture ring is at smallest value locked of course
I'm very sad as I love this lens:
Can't find anything online and no repair shop close by...
just had the lens in a bag of rise (not touching the rice..) for 24 hours. didn't help.
Camera works well with other Nikor lens so I guess that's not it. Will do the battery trick to make sure.
any other suggestions?

a Genius thought
Finding Amazing ways of seeing / understanding each other through a different light to help us all change for the better.
- Ask me anything /
- Submit /
- Archive
Today was good …I can just tell the difference…thanks to God…
Wondering how long this will last?
Playing your string…
Good Morning…Charles R. Swindoll once said "We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude."
Our attitude should be one of faith in our Lord. This morning I was having this conversation with my sister about her Red Bull energy drink she left at home in the fridge. She said that she was just mentioning it to me… I simply replied well you better home its there when you get home…and she "Hahaha lol! I was already praying and hoping lol"
At that moment I thought well should we not be just hoping but believing in Him that we have it and receive it by faith. It is often hard for us to transition ourselves this way of thinking because we are so used to the earthly realm of instant gratification. Where we can simply just go get what we forgot from practically any store 24 hours a day any 7 days of the week any month of the year. Wouldn't you think just looking at this one particular situation…have you played on the one string you have, and that is your attitude to make you that much closer to God.
That's why we have all these genius minds that God has used to help us understand the much more of his great love he has for each one of us.
So I'm ready to go…just going to throw my clothes in the back seat..grab a basket of clothes..couple bags with the essentials in it….and I'm off…now the question all are asking is where are you going??
Doing good…
In the Bible from 1 Timothy 2:1, of the New Living Translation it says to "Pray for all people. Ask God to help them; intercede on their behalf, and give thanks for them." …Wow to be able to do this is a tremendous turning point for oneself. The self control one must have to not be so mad at their enemy or the person that just made them so angry 5 minutes earlier but to think in this verse it says to pray for all and intercede on their behalf. I am sure that most work-aholics or people that are trying to climb up that corporate ladder to only make a better future for their family, themselves, or because they feel they have to do it to feel acknowledged in some way.
Many that know me know that I have always been very book smart and I catch on to things that others seem to think no one is watching. You got to love those people who try to do things like that because you know they are really trying to do something that in their mind they think is or would be the best. Then most of the time the things do not work out the way they wanted it to work.
So always as it says in scripture pray for others on their behalf.
A simple Call …
Jeremiah 33:3 (NIV) - 3 'Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.' - when I read this for the first time I literally imagined me making a phone call to him and him answering on the other end , just like old friend we go into a conversation of depth about all these things that I wanted to know. - - I am going to just get myself to make that call and hear from him - - all I want to know…

The Tribe began their roadtrip with a tough defeat on Tuesday night, losing 9-8 against the Arizona Diamondbacks in extra innings during the first of a two-game series. Justin Masterson was not particularly sharp, lasting just four innings. He allowed five runs on seven hits and four walks, with six strikeouts. D-backs starter Wade Miley had similar struggles, giving up five runs of his own, although only four were earned. Along the way, he walked two and allowed eight hits, striking out just three batters. The game turned into a battle of the bullpens, which Arizona would eventually win on a walkoff hit in the 14th inning.
Key Innings
Top of the 2nd, Indians trail 1-0
After a messy first inning by Masterson, the Dbacks grabbed an early lead. The Tribe struck back in a hurry, adding four runs in the second. Carlos Santana led off the inning with a walk, before a pair of singles from Jason Kipnis and Yan Gomes tied the game. Lonnie Chisenhall followed with a triple to center field, scoring two more runs. A sacrifice fly off the bat of Ryan Raburn made the score 4-1.
Bottom of the 6th, tied 5-5
Arizona clawed their way back into the game, scoring once in the second and twice in the fourth before tying it up in the fifth inning. After Kyle Crockett allowed a pair of leadoff singles in the sixth inning, he forced Miguel Montero to ground out. With runners at second and third, Vinnie Pestano came on and promptly allowed an RBI single on the first pitch to Aaron Hill to give up the lead.
Top of the 9th, Indians trail 6-5
Addison Reed has never fared well against the Tribe, and Tuesday night was no exception. He walked Asdrubal Cabrera to lead off the inning, then allowed Santana to walk as well. With two outs, Gomes singled to center field to score the tying run and take the game into extra innings.
Bottom of the 14th, tied 8-8
After a two-run blast by Santana in the top of the 11th, Arizona returned with two runs of their own to tie the game yet again. The deadlock remained until the 14th, when Mark Lowe gave up a walk-off single to Hill to end the game.
The Positives
It's impossible to ignore Santana's night, which included four hits and two walks, including a home run in the eleventh inning. The Tribe's bullpen gave a solid effort as well, especially John Axford. Although he allowed one of Shaw's runs to score to tie the game in the ninth, he escaped a bases-loaded jam with a pair of strikeouts to keep the D-backs from walking off in the 11th.
The Negatives
There were two key defensive miscues. With two on and no outs, Masterson got a double play ball in the first inning, but Santana took his foot off the bag and missed the out at first base. The close play resulted in a lost challenge that could have been used later in the game, when the umpire called Masterson out on what should have been an infield single in the second inning. Later in the game, Chisenhall and Cabrera botched a rundown between second and third.
Check It Out
– Scott Atchison and Carlos Carrasco have the 12th and 13th best-ranked K/BB rate in the American League among qualified relievers, with 4.80 and 4.50, respectively. In contrast, John Axford has the 12th worst. (Oakland's Sean Doolittle leads all of baseball, with an astonishingly high 50.00 K/BB rate.)
– The D-Backs' pitching staff is 13th in the National League in WHIP, at 1.35. Their 4.45 ERA is ranked 14th.

Big HD screens, a menu of savory pub fare, and hospitable, scantily kilted servers, whom the restaurant calls cast members, populate the Tilted Kilt's lively, Celtic-inspired consumption quarters. Congenial nights kick off with a mouthwatering appetizer, such as the Tilted Kilt irish nachos, whose freshly cooked potato chips arrive sporting a delectable cheese sauce, seasoned ground beef, and tomatoes, or the roasted garlic fries tossed in garlic butter and parmesan cheese. Dining duos return from rousing billiards games to celebrate sunken 8 balls or puzzle over levitating cue balls with creatively topped flatbread pizzas, or the classic Big Arse hamburger, a 10-ounce patty of choice ground chuck delivered by mini-kilt-clad waitresses. Amid a sea of sports-tuned HDTVs, soda and coffee hydrate throats parched from shouting answers during Wednesday trivia or from shouting improvised choruses at live-music performers on most Fridays.

Meanwhile, the Maui WoWee pizza boasts a doughy archipelago of pineapple, mushroom, and canadian bacon swathed in the warm embrace of melted cheese ($9–$17). Diners looking to bookend their ingredients instead can nosh grinders such as the tangy barbecue chicken ($6.95) and the veggie supreme, which comes drizzled in italian dressing ($6.95). Like Little League games or small-claims court hearings, guests' activities are best supplemented by a goblet of domestic beer ($2.25) or premium suds such as Fat Tire, Sam Adam, and Yuengling ($3; alcohol must be paired with a food item).

Inside, 16 beers on tap fill glasses, while friendly staffers serve burgers and handcrafted pizzas, pirouetting between tables with the finesse of a running back on roller skates. As diners kick back beneath the glow of mounted high-definition TVs, Sam's team of chefs work hard behind the scenes, making soups, sauces, and dressings from scratch daily.

Cragnacker's Bar & Grill simultaneously satisfies appetites for fresh grub and amusement, dishing out a diverse spread of classic pub eats amid a collection of fun-dispensing attractions. Dining duos commence feasting by tag-teaming a pile of wings, which are served mild or cloaked in a sauce hot enough to melt tableside ice sculptures.

In between rounds of drinks, bouts of shuffleboard, darts, and billiards occupy glassless hands as spectators watch from atop a refurbished shoeshine station. Buffalo's Nashville also hosts special events and parties in a pair of private rooms overlooking the Cumberland River and the Titans' LP Field.

MD Anderson Cancer Center: Grand Central Station with fewer words, more emotions
It's noon and the lobby in the main building of the MD Anderson Cancer Center is buzzing. My appointment is over and I've got nothing to do. Houston's heat is too much for a walk outside, so I linger.
The velocity of this place resembles Grand Central Station, but there's far more emotion and fewer words. People are rushing, though many can't keep up. Some are in wheelchairs, some with walkers, and some shuffle along, weakly. There are able-bodied patients like me, as wells as doctors, nurses, a vast support staff and an army of volunteers.
A pretty young woman hurries down the hallway. She's letting her hair grow back, the light brown fuzz still sparse, evidently indifferent to wearing a scarf or wig. Probably too hot. She can make this look work, thanks to her fit body, pretty eyes, fine features.
A middle-aged woman retreats from a clutch of people and turns to face a window, quietly convulsing. "Just tell them to make her comfortable," she says through sobs. I realize I'm eavesdropping. I stop.

A visit to Fukushima Ground Zero
By Issei Kato
"This day finally came."
That was my first impression when I was chosen as a pool photographer on behalf of foreign media based in Japan to visit the tsunami-crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
We were allowed to enter the plant last Monday, ahead of Japan's one-year anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami, which triggered the world's worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl. The media tour was the first to take place since the Japanese government announced in December that reactors at the plant had reached a stage of cold shutdown. We were allowed to cover not just from inside a bus, but from a certain outlying spot close to a reactor building for 15 minutes.

Tragedy in Fukushima: when can we go back to home again?
After covering myself from head to toe in protective clothing in the hope of protecting me from radiation, I went to accompany evacuees who were temporarily allowed to visit their homes in the 20 km no-entry zone surrounding the tsunami-crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, a place now notorious for its radiation leaks.
My destination was Okuma town where the whole population of about 11,000 had been evacuated since last year's earthquake. The town is still afflicted with high levels of invisible radiation.

Fukushima's invisible fear
By Issei Kato
These days, a mask, protective clothing and radiation counter have all become a usual part of reporting trips, as essential as a camera, lenses and a laptop. Soon, this situation will have gone on for a full year.
The 20 km (12 mile) zone around Japan's crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant is now a virtual ghost town after being evacuated of residents due to radiation. I asked a friend, who was forced by the disaster to leave the area and has been searching for a way to resume work, for help, and was able to enter the area where he used to live.

Invisible snow
Invisible Snow from Reuters Tokyo Pictures on Vimeo.
When the Fukushima nuclear power plant exploded, I was in Fukushima covering people who had evacuated from their houses near the plant, as they underwent radiation checks as authorities isolated those who had showed signs of exposure.
The disaster control center in the prefectural government hall in Fukushima city, situated about 63 km (39 miles) north-west of Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant, was chaotic. However, once I stepped out the building, everything around me looked the same in the city and it was difficult to comprehend what was actually happening. People in the city were walking their dogs outside and riding their bicycles on the streets, although lights were out and many places were experiencing cuts in water supplies.
from Photographers' Blog:
Beefing up radiation checks
Since covering the Fukushima nuclear crisis in March, I have photographed various radiation scenes in the months that followed.
Starting with shocking scenes of people who were actually contaminated with radiation being cleansed and scenes of people being isolated into a building.
from Photographers' Blog:
Chernobyl graves
Every year Orthodox Christians in Belarus throng to local cemeteries to commemorate their deceased relatives and loved ones on the ninth day after Easter, following an ancient Slavic rite on a revered day called Radunitsa. They tidy up tombs and adorn them with wreaths, and bow their heads in somber silence.
But in the southeast of Belarus, people stream to a tightly guarded area surrounded by solid fences and barbed wire, where whole villages were evicted 25 years ago after being contaminated with deadly radiation spewed by a blown up reactor at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in neighboring Ukraine.
from Photographers' Blog:
Japan's nuclear crisis and my life
As a Reuters photographer, I have covered many disasters and incidents over the last ten years but these things had little direct affect on my life. Just like the saying: "The photographer must be taken out of the picture", I was a third party in most of these cases. By and large, those catastrophes had nothing to do with my personal life. Once my assignment was over, I used to go back to my normal life and switch from emergency mode.
But last month's magnitude 9.0 earthquake and tsunami that sparked the worst nuclear crisis since Chernobyl in Japan was different. I am not exempt from the fear caused by the disaster nor am I immune to the threat of the invisible nuclear radiation.
from Russell Boyce:
Asia – A Week in Pictures, March 27, 2011
Japan continues to dominate the file from Asia with new photograhers rotating in to cover the twists and turns of this complex and tragic story. In a country were the nation rarely buries its dead, the site of mass graves is quite a shocking scene to behold. Holes the length of football pitches are dug in the ground with mechanical digggers and divided into individual plots by the military and are then filled with the coffins of the victims of the tsunami.

Currently working on my top 5 Michael Scott moments of all time, as a lead up to his final episode this Thursday night.
And I gotta say, of all the top 5 lists I've done…this one's by far the hardest.
That's what she said.
As a humorous addendum to the previous post, FYE's computers were down, so I wasn't able to actually purchase the CD. So I still can't vouch if it's any good or not. Way to be, FYE. Didn't know you guys were going out of your way to lose business, but well played.
When I was eleven years old I used the first money I ever made(shoveling snow or some such) to buy a CD. It seems kind of ironic to me now, especially considering that I haven't bought a CD in recent memory, and I stopped buying them or even using them as a medium five or six years ago. But I really wanted a CD, and I was eleven, so I got it.
Not just any CD, mind you. Back in the dark ages of 1997, MTV and Vh1 actually showed music videos. My favorite video at the time, maybe ever, was Everlong by the Foo Fighters. If you haven't seen the video, it's pretty rad, so I suggest you put it on your to-do list. It's just these weird dream sequences, and it's got that classic Foo Fighters essence to it…before you know it, guys are pulling themselves out of other peoples mouths and the band just starts playing while the colors go wild. It was awesome.
So I went out and got The Colour and the Shape, played the hell out of it, took it with me with my discman everywhere…I think one of my art projects in 8th grade was a recreation of the cover art.
Which brings us to the present day. (I don't know if iit really brings us to the present day, but I needed a segue.) I heard the Foo Fighters came out with a new album, and after a job interview I walked around the mall and came upon it at FYE. As I said, I haven't bought a cd in years, but the cover was really cool. Check it out.
Mitchell is on. Really thinking about how if I ever have children, and one's a boy, he's gonna be named Mitchell just so I can do the "Mitchell" call whenever he's in trouble. Either that or Velociraptor Schwarzenegger.
A while back, the FBI launched "The Vault", an online database of thousands and thousands of declassified documents, many of which are only interesting to the right people. On set of documents in particular however, that have gone mainly unnoticed relate to the strange crash at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, seems to point to the crash of an alien craft and the recovery of several alien bodies and not a weather balloon. Spoooky.
I haven't watched Scooby Doo since I was a kid, so let me get this straight. The Joker and Penguin have a five minute head start and a helicopter, and somehow arrive to the destination after the Mystery Machine…which just so happens to have gone out of the way to drop off Batman and Robin. Were they like "Muahahhaa, excellent, our plan is coming to fruition!…but let's stop for some burgers, no rush."
And where the hell are Batman's pants?!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
A graduate with that kind of grammar?! Its our first year at this school. I hope it will be a good experience.
I have three children going to this school.They're in 10th,9th and 7th. This school year 2014-2015 will be our fourth year here.The 1st year was tough.They complained a lot,But we sticked with it, my children love their school now.honestly we made a good choice it was either this school or sending them to Workman Jr or Sam Houston high. The school is not perfect,no school is.Disorganized sometimes,yes,but the intentions are good.Teachers :They're dedicated, example Mrs Brown 7 th very motivated!(I hope they pay her good!).They're opinionated, I disagreed with them sometimes and I will tell my children differently.we as parents instill values in our children not the school.everybody have different sets of values. The rest of the stuff like carlines, PTA or nothing to do with academic performances are irrelevant ways to rate the school. bottom line we send our kids to this school because we care about their future.If you're looking for all kind of attentions for your children go to private schools.this is a charter school closely resemble private school but tuition free and publicly funded,therefore the are some imperfections like any other schools.I highly recommend this school.
I transfer school three times during my high school career. This school is my last stop. There are many reasons behind this. First, the education that is provided to the students are superb. Before coming to this school, I barely know how to write and the teacher taught me how during his spare time. At a regular public school of some sort, spare times for teacher would be at home or going shopping. Second, I was able to create a bond with my classmates. Our class had barely 30 students so getting to know them and their life was not that hard. Lastly, the connection with the teachers. I texted my teacher about a clownfish, class, and colleges, he was gladly to respond in about ten minutes even late at night. At other schools, teacher usually don't give out their numbers for purposes but at this school it was different. Due to these facts I have fallen in love with this school and decided to settle down. I am now a graduate of Summit and will never forget the memories [both fun and sad] that it have given me. Please ignore the claims about carline, PTA, and other non-education related claims, we don't go for school for those things, we come to school to gain an education. Dos.
Commitment from teachers and staff to the education portion of School Life is amazing. The Road to College focus threads through all grades and field trips to colleges began this year, in our son's sixth grade year and our first year here. Communication outside that of directly with teachers, for lack if a better word, sucks. Parents are not spoonfed info and have to be resourceful. This is unfortunate, but considering the quality of education he is receiving, a burden I will muddle through. Sports programming is awful. They are moving from A to AAAA this coming year and given out experiences with sixth grade, I expect it will be a mess. Our son is an intense athlete, but that's not what we care about. We will peruse club sports to fill in the gap. Homework is intense, but he found a groove and achieved A/B honor roll the entire year. The new component of school, when constrasted to mainstream education, is that teachers are passionate about their subjects and seek out ways to transfer this passion to their students.
My school is Summit International Preparatory school. I feel it is an excellent school because my son has made tremendous progress since he started at Summit. He had speech and comprehension problems when the school year started. Now, he is speaking clearly and his comprehension is so much better. I owe it all to the work his kindergarten teacher Mrs. Ray and I have done as a team to get him to this point. All schools have their challenges (carline, PTA, etc.), but if that is your only problem with the school, then you really don't have any "problems". Academics are the most important thing.
Summit is an excellent school with the most dedicated teachers around. My expectation is to see growth in my children each year. Other parents posted complaints about disorganized school functions, PTA, carline, etc. I don't send my kids to school for those things. I send them to get an education and they are receiving an amazing education. One of the strengths of Summit is the amount of time the school takes to train their teachers and the ability to let under-performing teachers go. My kids have had life-changing teachers at Summit. Summit's expectations for their students are high. If your child has been at a different school for years, it can be an adjustment for them to keep up with homework and grades at first. I have three kids at Summit and the younger two have only been to Summit. I've watched families complain about the workload and pull their kids out. My kids rarely have more than 20 minutes of homework. I think that is because they are used to the rigor and have learned to to their work at school when given an opportunity. My sixth grader has 45 minutes every day to to do homework at school and rarely has to do any at home.
This is our first year at Summit. Educationally, it's been fine. My son has learned to read well and do simple math in kindergarten. Far, far, far too much homework is given to kindergarteners. I have been very disappointed with the amount of screen time, as pointed out by a poster below. PE should not be a platform for movie time. Operationally, the school is a disaster. Functions are poorly planned and executed. Parking is extremely inadequate. The carline is an absolute nightmare. Many of the specials teachers and administrators of the primary school have inappropriate expectations for behavior of kids this age.
Extremely unorganized. I don't think anyone there has any knowledge on how to run a school. I stopped going to any meetings or festivals because it's so ridiculous how No one knows what they're doing. If your child goes to the nurse, you don't get told about it. Hardly anyone follows the dress code but you Will get a phone call for having even nude nail Polish on. They lie about having smaller class sizes. My daughter has 24 students in her 1st grade class and there's No teacher aid. They show movies in art, music, and even PE Alot. They aren't educational ones either. I didn't choose this school for that, she can watch movies at home. I chose it so she could have a bit of a higher education. Teachers are great but can be disorganized too, I think the way the school is ran is to blame for that. I will let my daughter finish the year but this was a huge regret.
The school is poorly ran. The organization for events is always a disaster. For example, grandparent's day breakfast and the awards assemby. I also called one day because my daughter was going to miss school and they said that I don't have to call them if she will miss. I found that a bit odd or like they weren't concerned. However, I love, love, LOVE my daughter's 1st grade teacher. She is amazing. She's very dedicated to teaching and helping her students learn. I love the weekly email she sends out letting the parent's know what's going on for the week.
My son started going there this year and he loves it. The teachers are nice and are willing to help you with any question you might have. At first I wasn't sure about the school because I couldn't get any one to return my calls at first but I am glad that I stayed on it.
I have a 9th student and a 6th grade student at Summit. Kids at this school seem to have a tight bond. Teachers work amazing hours and the dedication is refreshing. Teachers are also always available to the student till 9 pm by cell phone. Curriculum is advanced and expectations are high. Positive atmosphere. A little unorganized, but inspected with the amount of stuff they try and fit in.
I never had a chance to find out about the school. My son was accepted and when I asked to have a tour of the school before going further, I was told they didn't have time for a tour. They politely said the adminstrators were too busy admitting other students. Guess that decided it for me. My son won't be going there if there isn't any more effort made than that to accommodate the parents.
Everyone who is saying bad things about this school is wrong maybe its your kid who does not work hard. I go to school here and my teachers are great the teacher there actually make school fun. i don't like learning but with the way they teach i just don't want to stop learning!! I love all my teachers and classmates. And parents that say that this school is not good then first look at your child and then say things about it because your child does not want to learn and you are blaming the teachers and the school. Everyone this school is great and i I give this school a 100!!!!!!
This is our second year at Summit and I couldn't be more content with the academic results. Luckily, my children are small (1st and 2nd graders) so they got to experience important skills early on. During the summer, my Kindergartener was able to read chapter books thoroughly and my first grader was telling time and working with currency, Most importantly, their self esteem and attitude demonstrate a sense of maturity at such a young age. The staff is friendly and maintains a profressional attitude at all times. Parent involvement can be better.
This school was the worst school that my child has EVER been to. The teachers just don't care. Two of my child's teachers didn't even have an education and they were teaching! He used to be a straight A student and fell behind a year from being in this school. Please do not make the same mistake as we did. I do not recommend this school to ANYONE.
Our first year at summit has been a good one. My son's kindergarten teacher has been great. She genuinely cares and is easy to contact if there are any questions or concerns. I agree that Summit is not perfect, but what school is. For those who posted complaints - did you ever bring these concerns to the director, or did you just sit and complain. If you are a parent with a concern about a teacher, it is your duty to let the director know - this school is here for your student, stand up for them. The school requires that each family do 40 hours of volunteer work at the school, but when I went to put in my 40 hours, I only saw the same few parents there every time. The people who complain the most are probably those who do the least. It takes a whole village to raise a child - don't expect to send you child to school and have the school do everything for you. Things that are challenging about the school: Hours: Mon, Tues, Thurs, Fri ; 8:00am-3:30pm Wed: 8:00am-1:30pm No Buses: To pick your child up you must wait in a carline, and some of the parents are always trying to cut in line. Lack of Parent Involvement: It seems like a lot of the parents are not involved.
What a complete disappointment this school is. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing, new teachers with out education degrees. No consistency from the teachers and no accountability. No true extra cirricular activities, sports or clubs. Teachers are demanding of the kids but don't deliver themselves.........................very sad that they have many families fooled.
It is important to note that those test scores represent the first graduating class. Some of the students scored very high on the SAT and some did not. That is why it is called an average. Texas overall had a low average SAT. Those students came to the school starting as 9th graders and all have been accepted to a 4 year schools. You have to start some where and the expectation is to see even higher SAT scores in the future. $6.4million in scholarships and grants is not a bad number for 22 students. What other school is the area can give you that?
My son hated school because he was not challenged in Public school. Here the teachers expect more from the students but also help them achieve those high goals. Everyone is involved from there Advisory teacher, the the principle, to the clubs leadership. Thanks, Summit
Summit has lofty goals but is far from reaching their goals. Go to the TEA website and you will find their SAT scores are well below average as well as their college readiness scores. Teachers and administration lack common sense. Their moto states that students are responsible for their own learning, which is the truth. Teachers are grasping at straws and do not teach well. Students are expected to teach themselves. If you are not a native Spanish speaker, your child will have a disadvantage in ranking and AP classes. Students are expected to forgo lunch, bathroom breaks, and sleep even with an extended school day. From experience, I would not recommend this school to anyone.

One question. Who's "you" that you keep referring to all the time?
On Thu, Feb 10, 2011 at 5:44 PM, andrew.wallace <
andrew.wallace () rocketmail com> wrote:
Thankfully you are very rarely involved with public and private sector
business talks in the UK, so the situation will probably never arise we are
in the same board room.
Stay in America and keep away from the UK is the best thing that could ever
happen to you, because frankly meeting you would be a complete nightmare for
me and I would find it hard to work with you on any meaningful level.
One thing for sure is you have pissed me off with the way you speak to me
via private email and your perceived perception of who I am, and what you
think n3td3v is.
Maybe in the beginning it seemed like disorganised non-sense to you, but it
has evolved and shaped over the years with me and is now a serious force to
be reckoned with and is able to compete with other consultancy orgainsations
in the UK, now that there are serious consultants on board from the business
and government sector in the UK, where we work on meaningful policy reform
within organisations, to tighten security against foreign powers, terrorist
attacks and other matters.
To be perfectly honest, I would like to say, I think you've been reading
mailing lists too much, a lot more goes on in industry than the stupid
disclosure community, work actually gets done that is meaningful and
satisfying when I come home at night.
My advice to you is, stop reading mailing lists, get on with the physical
industry and stop basing your views of people based on back and forward
horse play people have have had between 2004-2009.
That part of n3td3v is behind you, me and everyone, I removed the mailing
list as a symbolic gesture to move on from that.
I'm now a professional, consulting and liaising with other consultants in
the UK in the public and private sector through the consortium, the
consultants who ive had dealings with in the physical domain who have
decided to join through knowing me in a working relationship.
The organisation is nothing to do with what it might have been, n3td3v is
rethought and matured, along with me.
You couldn't possibly say the same orgainsation I started when I was 18 is
going to be the same orgainsation today now that I'm 30, it isn't.
I've changed, we've changed, the type of people I come into contact has
changed through opportunities I've gained in the physical domain.
n3td3v is very much nothing to do with anything online-based, but has
shifted into the physical domain, in that, its people I actually know who I
can shake hands with who are members.
That is why the name was changed, the brand, its now a consortium, its
nothing to do with online or some silly Google group mailing list.
The beginning days of n3td3v between 2004-2009 and the Google group mailing
list was used to push my name out into the industry to become known, you
should be able to work with me in a meaningful working relationship if you
ever had to through work commitments.
Everyone else who I meet in the physical domain knows who I am, but they
don't judge me for it, they shake my hand and move on with the problems in
the industry that are needing solved.
They don't say, that's Andrew who used to post in the disclosure community,
let's huff and puff about it.
They take me as I am in the physical domain, realise it was silly horse
play from the past and move on.
I hope you are able to do the same, because your attitude just annoys me
that you cannot have a mature and professional approach in the way you talk
with me.
