Welcome to Pacers Digest! New around here? Here are three tips for making the forum a great place to talk about Pacers basketball.
- Log in. Even if you want to read instead of post, it's helpful because it lets you:
- Change your signature options. You can hide all signatures by choosing "Settings" (top right) then "General Settings" (middle left) and unchecking the box "Show Signatures" (in the "Thread Display Options" area).
- Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.
Enjoy your time at PD!
You don't have any ?
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

text: EverBank Field, as it has been known since 2010, has been the home of the Jacksonville Jaguars even when the stadium was named Jacksonville Municipal Stadium and Alltel Stadium. The Field opened in 1995 to accommodate the NFL expansion. In an incredibly short span of 19 months, the city demolished old Gator Bowl Stadium and in its place put Jacksonville Municipal Stadium into duty. The newly created Jaguars rolled into town and were greeted with a state of the art stadium. EverBank Field has seen its fair share of highs and lows over its nearly two decade history. The stadium has been home to many playoff games over the years, including the hosting the AFC Championship game in 1999. The stadium is also the home to the annual Gator Bowl, one of the more storied and longest running bowl games in NCAA Football history. The stadium's shining moment came in 2005 when it hosted Super Bowl XXXIX.Speaking of the Super Bowl, that was when EverBank Field received a $63 million facelift in preparation for the event. New bars, convenient elevators and new scoreboards and monitors were added to give the stadium a more modern and refreshed feature list in terms of functionality and looks. Shortly across the stadium, the old practice fields have been converted into a 400,000 square foot entertainment zone called Pepsi Plaza. On game days, Pepsi Plaza is a lively area for pre and postgame entertainment. On any given Sunday during the season, you can bet EverBank Field will put on a good show.

The Style Evolution of Daft Punk
May 21, 2014 via Pepsi
The Style Evolution of Daft Punk
There are few duos as instantly recognizable as French electronic music dynamos Daft Punk. Clad head to toe in chic, post-apocalyptic ensembles, their getups make them look like Sith Lords headed to a rave. Of course their style is important, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter are better known in costume than they are without them. Seen as integral tools that ensure that the music is put first in a world that is overly obsessed with the notion of celebrity, Daft Punk remains at the forefront of fashion without abandoning key pieces that have become synonymous with the duo. This is the style evolution of Daft Punk.
1. Homework - 1997
When Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter entered pop culture relevance it was clear that they were no strangers to eccentric behavior and clothing that would match their spirit. Donning a variety of masks - from that of bugs to traditional Kabuki affairs to clowns with protuberant red noses - Thomas would say at the time, "I think dance music is too cold, y'know? We don't really take it very seriously."
2. Discovery - 2001
Daft Punk's now signature aesthetic was heavily inspired by the 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still and can be credited to Tony Gardner of Alterian Inc. - who happened to also create the Jumbotron. He was tasked with creating something that could hide their identities but also show off their "personalities." Initially, Thomas sported a helmet with a horizontal display unit that showcased text while Guy-Manuel had one with a vertical display that was more a home to a quasi-light show of yellows and reds. Both men also sported yellow-tinted, spandex gloves. Thomas Bangalter once said, "We did not choose to become robots. There was an accident in our studio. We were working on our sampler, and at exactly 9:09 am on September 9, 1999, it exploded. When we regained consciousness, we discovered that we had become robots." Additional differences included Guy-Manuel having an appearing and disappearing detachable rear half on his helmet.
3. Human After All - 2005
When Daft Punk emerged after a four-year hiatus, the world saw them in more subdued masks and costumes - forgoing all LEDs except for ones that appeared on Guy-Manuel's ears. One can't discuss this period without mentioning their "Encore" helmets as well, which came slightly later, and featured glowing red outlines around stark, black ensembles. Additionally, the 2006 film Daft Punk's Electroma saw the group break out new silver and gold helmets for a project Bangalter said that he wanted to "create without any rules or standards."
4. Tron: Legacy - 2010
For the band's appearance in Tron Legacy, they recruited the film's special-effects maestros Ironhead Studios to handle helmet duties. Guy-Manuel's helmet showed the most noticeable differences from past iterations - with both helmets now coming equipped with light-blue LEDs.
5. Random Access Memories - 2013
For his Saint Laurent Music Project series, Hedi Slimane recruited and photographed Daft Punk for a series of black-and-white ads, as well as styled their new Random Access Memories album artwork that saw the duo in sequined-dipped Le Smoking tuxedo suits. Additionally, the French musicians pulled off capes, leather pants, and even fur for a spread in L'Uomo Vogue during this period.

"Windsor Hotel review"
Overall Hotel Rating:
The Windsor hotel, like Egypt itself, is a strange but wonderful place. The staff there are good, the bar staff excellent, and the hotel in general cannot be knocked. Unless of course you are given one of the worst rooms known to man. Which is what we had originally and then got moved the next day.
The first room we were in was awful, the toilet that barely flushed was, shall we say, in need of flushing when we arrived and I do mean for the worst reasons. The bed was a joke with a mattress and frame that defied logic by still standing, the dirt (as in general dust) was everywhere and it looked like someone hadn't stayed in there for some time, though of course the present in the toilet reminded us some obviously had! Even the beds position in the room just didnt make sense with it being pressed right against a wall when it didn't have to be, making it very hard for one person to get out of bed with out climbing up the slope of the mattress (although I really should use another word, it wasn't a mattress) and then trying to climb over your partner without waking them (assuming they can sleep on strange rock like surfaces) or destroying the bed at the same time.
However once we were moved to another room it was a completely different story. Although not the Hilton it was fine in every way and fantastic in some. The thing with the Windsor is nearly every room seemed to be completely different. Most are fine, some are like a modern day English bathrooms that you would find in any newly built house and some are quite luxurious. The one to get is apparently the one Michael Palin stayed in when he went round the world in 80 days not because of its high standard but simply cos 'he' stayed there, (if you can try and watch the episode in question as it'll give you a good idea what its like and the kind of thing you have to accept).
One of the main features though has to be the Swiss styled bar. It was probably the best bar we came across in Egypt in terms of style and warmth and that cosmopolitan feel that some places just naturally have, plus some great barmen. I recommend watching a game of football with them, as most Egyptian men are obsessed with it. Also try and catch the Egyptian 'who wants to be a millionaire', after a few beers its quite a show. The restaurant also was good with a bit of a mixed menu and they were happy to help in any way they could if there was nothing on the menu that took your fancy.
Cairo itself is one hell of a place and could scare you death as much as hug you like a long lost friend, but I would recommend everyone goes at least once and not just cos of the pyramids but because it's a sample of life that you wont get anywhere else. We went in January and it was a perfect time as it was pretty much deserted of tourists and warm without being stifling like the summer is. Indeed most Egyptians whilst we were there had coats on whilst we walked round in t-shirts.
We did have a bit of a problem when it came to paying, as there was some confusion as to the price. Sort this out with them at the start though and I would imagine it's a different story. Make sure you point out that you want the final price with all taxes etc added on and that you wont be paying anymore no matter what they say and you should be fine. We didn't and we got stung!
But given the chance I would be back in a flash.

Overall Hotel Rating:
I was grateful to find the Windsor, a welcoming oasis in the hustle and bustle of Cairo. The Barrel bar is spectacular, and remains virtually unchanged since the 96 year old Swiss owner purchased the property just after WWII. The rooms are small but very comfortably, the food is very palatable, the staff are absolutely charming and most speak some English/French/German.The ambience of the whole hotel is charming and speaks of a different, colonial Cairo. April 2008 a single room cost just $40 which includes continental breakfast - an absolute bargain, I would have paid twice the price.

11 Fascinating Knoxvillians of 2013
Here are some of the most interesting figures we wrote about in the past year
Despite jaw-dropping good looks and talent formidable enough to win the admiration of established stars and snag an Academy of Country Music Newcomer of the Year nomination in 1979, and despite touring with some of the biggest names in the industry and being the first artist invited to sing on Ralph Emery's Nashville Now, Cob Hunley lost deal after deal in the late '80s to lesser talents in big hats. His drinking became the subject of gossip, and he finally came home to Knoxville and went into business with Steve, leaving behind a contingent of fans who wondered whatever became of Con Hunley.
The short answer is that he's fine. He's sober and making music that matters with people he trusts. He's reconnecting with his fans via a thriving Internet-based family music business, and his personal journey is the stuff of classic country songs—and is, in fact, the subject of a moving, as-yet-unreleased autobiographical song called "If You Could Read Between the Lines on This Face."
The former Warner Bros. publicist who was one of the first to believe in him thinks he probably got out in the nick of time.
"He could have gone on and on like he was and he probably would've been singing with Elvis by now," says Bonnie Taggert, who once stopped New York City traffic at the Holland Tunnel so Hunley could be photographed for an official promotional shot.
"Instead, he stopped drinking, took control of his life, and he's still loved and still has an incredible life and I think his silver hair is gorgeous." (Betty Bean, "Con Hunley," Jan. 31)
Cruz Contreras
Clutching a pair of vintage yellow lamps he bought two hours ago, Black Lillies frontman Cruz Contreras strolls past the sleek, modern front office of Gay Street's Attack Monkey Productions and heads downstairs into his band's de facto headquarters: a messy quasi-living room littered with effects pedals, musical instruments, and shabby furniture. To his right is a media shelf filled with CDs, separated by genre and other categories—jazz, country, local, independent; on his left, a roughed-up Fender Rhodes piano.
"This is my crash pad," he says.
Crouching to the floor, Contreras pulls a hidden latch to open a trap door that leads to another stairway, which leads to another basement—one that vaguely resembles a medieval dungeon. Dirty and mostly bare, it hardly looks like a functioning rehearsal space.
"There's no dead bodies down here," he says, a coy grin punctuating his scraggly, country-boy beard. "I promise."
Contreras has big plans for the basement, which he is in the process of converting into a rehearsal space for the band. He's spent most of the day in local thrift stores, finally ending up with the yellow lamps he's holding.
"In a few days, you won't be able to recognize this place."
He also has big plans for his band, which has undergone its own extensive renovation since forming in 2009. Fans familiar with Contreras from his former band, the CCstringband, or the Black Lillies' casual early shows, might not recognize the seasoned group they have become. They played more than 230 shows in 2012, while also finding time to record their third and most fully developed album, Runaway Freeway Blues. They have earned spirited praise from all over the country, including from Nashville's country-music industry, and now they're set to play their first headlining show at the Tennessee Theatre to celebrate the release of their new album.
In many ways, this long-awaited homecoming performance will serve as a victory lap for the band, whose quick ascent to regional success with national potential almost didn't get off the ground in the first place. But it's also the beginning of a new chapter, with brand-new challenges. (Ryan Reed, "Runaway Success," March 14)
Holly Warlick
There's a Pat Summitt bobblehead doll on the shelf above Holly Warlick's desk. Usually, it has a whistle hanging around its neck—the one Summitt presented to her longtime assistant coach last year when she formally stepped down, ending a season of stress, speculation, and grief that followed Summitt's announcement that she has early-onset Alzheimer's Disease—but lately, the whistle's been out in the front office because so many people want to see it. Almost as much as the eight gleaming Waterford Glass national championship trophies, it is a historical artifact. But Summitt stays where she is, right over Warlick's shoulder.
"I like having her here," Warlick says.
Leaving aside bleed-and-die partisans, there are two kinds of sports fans: those who love winners and those who love underdogs. Both kinds can find something to love in Holly Warlick, a winner to whom nothing has ever come easy. (Betty Bean, "#StillTenn," March 21)
Ashley Klappholz and Ellie Kittrell
Tucked against the far wall of Panera Bread on North Peters Road, among the besuited business people chatting seriously over coffee and the large groups of moms whose members alternate between wrangling small children and laughing with their friends, are two women sitting at a table covered in binders and documents. One is on her cell phone and the other is sipping her coffee as she looks over the pages of notes in front of her.
When Ashley Klappholz hangs up, she smiles and apologizes. She has the harried look one assumes is typical of a person in charge of a big project. And Klappholz's project is indeed big. She, along with Ellie Kittrell (sitting across from her at the wobbly table), are trying to start a completely new children's science museum for Knoxville called the MUSE.
"When we moved here with our kids, we realized this [a children's museum] was something Knoxville was lacking," Klappholz says.
"There's some good things here. Oak Ridge has a great science museum. But in terms of a larger-scale, discovery, interactive center—we don't have [one]," Kittrell says.
Knoxville, Klappholz and Kittrell have found, is one of the largest cities without a science center for kids. But it also attracts professionals in science fields who come here to work in places like the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the Y-12 National Security Complex.
"There's a lot of transient people in the community that are coming from all over the nation who have been exposed to children's discovery, interactive, science centers on a larger scale than what we have in our area," Kittrell says. (Paige Huntoon, "Science Project," March 28)
Tim Burchett
It's 7:30 in the morning, and the sun's not yet fully up outside Powell Elementary School. But as Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett walks down the hall, fist-bumping students and hugging teachers, you get the feeling he's been awake for hours.
Actually, he probably has been—Burchett's somewhat of an insomniac, an affliction that may or may not be influenced by his propensity for Mountain Dew regularly supplemented with iced tea. Yet Burchett's animation isn't simply that of the highly caffeinated, or the perky morning lark. Instead, the mayor seems to feed off the energy of the kids that are quickly filling the cafeteria.
If you haven't spent a lot of time with Burchett, you might just assume this is typical political glad-handing, even if the hundred or so fourth- and fifth-graders who come to see him won't be eligible to vote for him for a very long time, long after he's left his mayoral post in 2018. (Although Burchett refuses to officially confirm that he'll be running for reelection next year, it seems likely. It also seems likely he'll be unopposed, at least by a serious candidate.)
But if you have spent a lot of time with the mayor—or if you have just read through his Twitter account—you can tell his enthusiasm for hanging out with kids is real. You also get the feeling that a lot of days, he'd rather be eating lunch in elementary school cafeterias (despite his frequent complaints about the quality of Knox County Schools food, especially the pizza), rather than hobnobbing at business lunches at Bistro at the Bijou or Chesapeake's.
This, in a nutshell, is what people love about Tim Burchett. It is also what drives other people crazy. (Cari Wade Gervin, "Citizen Burchett," May 9)
Marcel Neergaard
When Marcel Neergaard decided to start a petition calling for StudentsFirst—a national political action committee pursuing "transformative" school reforms—to revoke the "reformer of the year" honor it had awarded to Tennessee state Rep. John Ragan (R-Oak Ridge) in April, he grabbed a dictionary and thesaurus. The legislator had introduced the Classroom Protection Act (another "Don't Say Gay" bill) earlier in the year, and the 11-year-old Oak Ridger felt this wasn't right. So he wanted to express his thoughts just so.
"We looked at words, and they were huge words, because for something like this, I can't use fourth-grade words. This is a petition, this is something big. Instead of using the words 'take back,' I learned the word 'rescind.' I never knew that word!" he says.
The learning curve has been steep in more ways than one. Neergaard thrust himself into the media spotlight about two weeks ago when he put his name on the petition he posted on MoveOn.org and sent it out into the world, not knowing what kind of response he would get.
But within an hour, the petition had 1,000 signatures, thanks to MoveOn.org promoting the petition to its followers. By last Wednesday, he'd reached his goal of 50,000 signatures. And the petition worked. In a June 5 blog post, StudentsFirst director Michelle Rhee, the former chancellor of Washington, D.C.'s troubled school system, announced that the group had revoked Ragan's award. (Paige Huntoon, "Youth Action," June 13)
Marcus Hall
In one way or another, fashion has always been part of the narrative of Marcus Hall's family history.
Take his grandfather, L.C. Nelson, a former factory worker at Dempster Brothers. A salt-of-the-earth blue-collar man by day, L.C.'s dress outside of work was executive chic. Possessed of his own prismatic vision of 1970s haute couture, he loved to peacock in bright polyester shirts with big collars, perfectly creased polyester slacks with a white belt, and patent leather shoes, polished to a glossy sheen.
Dressed to the nines, he climbed behind the wheel of an enormous blue Cadillac Fleetwood so long he couldn't close the door of the modest family garage.
"My grandfather always told me that when you leave the house, even if you didn't have a million bucks, you should dress like a million bucks," Hall says, relaxing at a desk in his eccentrically appointed warehouse off Magnolia Avenue, a concrete bunker decorated with surrealist paintings, Knox memorabilia, and 1970s furniture.
Hall's mother, Juanzel Nelson, a licensed practical nurse and a pastor at Parkview House of God, was also the family seamstress, hemming, altering, and even sewing whole new wardrobe additions for her four children when money was tight. She taught Marcus to sew when he was 12 years old.
And two of his brothers, Xavier Barton and Monrico, several cousins, and any number of other friends and acquaintances worked for years at the old Cherry Street Levi's plant off Magnolia, a veritable institution for local families until it closed in 1989. "Because my brothers were there, because I always loved clothes, I just assumed I would work there, too," says Hall, now owner of nationally known Marc Nelson Denim. (Mike Gibson, "Who the Hell is Marc Nelson?", July 11)
David Madden
The week David Madden turned 80, he took a long walk around his hometown.
Though he's one of Knoxville's best-known living authors, Madden hasn't been a regular on our sidewalks in half a century. After several teaching posts in the '60s, he was, for 40 years, a writer in residence at Louisiana State University, where he eventually became head of LSU's creative-writing program. In 2009 he moved back, or almost back: He and his wife live in Black Mountain, N.C. He's been showing up here in town more lately, and still knows his way around. And even when he's been gone, whether his readers know it or not, his memories of Knoxville keep churning up in his fiction. Sometimes Madden's Knoxville shows up in rural Eastern Kentucky. Sometimes, as is the case with his latest novel, Knoxville emerges in 17th-century London. You might have to know where to look.
Madden was once Knoxville's literary prodigy, our boy wonder; at 16, he won second prize in a statewide one-act play competition. His play, Call Herman to Supper, was performed in Ayres Hall in 1949. Later, his novels got national attention, among them Cassandra Singing, The Pleasure-Dome, and The Suicide's Wife, which in 1979 became a CBS movie starring Angie Dickinson in the title role.
His 1974 novel, Bijou, an explicit coming-of-age novel with the Gay Street landmark as its hub, is the one that stirred the most nervous speculation here. Set in a thinly disguised downtown Knoxville, it's at turns hilarious and appalling, as it follows the adventures of precocious 13-year-old Lucius Hutchfield, a thinly disguised version of David Madden.
At an age when some writers run out of steam, or ideas, Madden still likes to surprise. "I'm deep into seven books," he says, both novels and nonfiction works. (Jack Neely, "The Whole Story of Knoxville," August 8)
Butch Jones
Saturday night in Neyland Stadium. The lights are on. The band has played a rousing rendition of "Rocky Top." Players in orange jerseys are lined up on the sidelines, awaiting their chance to shine. New head coach Butch Jones runs out on to the field. The crowd roars.
Yet it's not football time in Tennessee, not yet, no matter what the voice on the loudspeaker says. This is practice. Not the Orange and White game, not even a scrimmage—it's practice. A Saturday night in August University of Tennessee football training camp practice.
But because it's open to the public, and it's the first time in the modern history of the program it's happened, and because Jones is new, and because Vols fans are hoping he'll erase the bad taste of the past several years—the decline and fall of Phil Fulmer, the Lane Kiffin debacle, the dyed-to-order orange pants of Derek Dooley that didn't have magical powers after all—there are 30,000 fans, give or take a few thousand, in the stands watching UT's four possible quarterbacks run plays. When the plays result in a "touchdown," the crowd cheers as if it actually counted. Even when the skies open and driving rain pours down and doesn't stop, people stay and watch. Both the desperation and excitement are palpable.
And UT fans are desperate. It's been quite a while since the Vols have been so bad for so long. Sure, Auburn had a worse season last year, and yeah, Arkansas was right up there, and Kentucky' well, they're Kentucky. But Auburn won a national championship in 2010, and Arkansas didn't even have their real coach. And sure, the team's still on NCAA probation until 2015, thanks to Kiffin's assistant coaches, but that's not the reason the Vols haven't won an SEC Championship since the storied 1998 season.
But now there is Jones, and he is the reason—and pretty much the only reason—fans are excited for this season. (Cari Wade Gervin, "Butch!", August 27)
Lauren Hopson
Blame it on Lauren Hopson, if you want. She's fine with that. In fact, she's more than okay with it.
"I've always been pretty vocal," Hopson says with a slight laugh.
Hopson, a cheery third-grade teacher with a blonde bob, now in her 13th year teaching at Halls Elementary, had no idea she'd become the face of a movement when she spoke for a mere five minutes at the Oct. 2 meeting of the Knox County Schools Board of Education.
"The things I said were nothing new," Hopson says. "I've been saying them for two years at teacher talks and forums. I said them at the school board last year. Nothing's changed. In fact, some things have gotten worse."
It might have ended there, as most comments at poorly attended public meetings generally do. But Hopson's speech emphasizing her frustration with the county's evaluation process and KCS Superintendent Jim McIntyre's leadership was uploaded to YouTube eight days later. Entitled, "Tired Teachers - What TN teachers really think about new evaluations," it's the same poor quality video that you can watch on the KCS website, complete with a sign-language translator in lower corner.
Five weeks later, it has almost 100,000 views.
"I am tired of trying to plan five different lessons a day that hit 61 different indicators on a rubric, and that's just to score a rock-solid 3. I am tired of the public being convinced that Knox County is moving in the right direction when I see good teachers at my school in tears at some point during the day on a regular basis. I am tired of having to waste instruction time to give tests every week, whether I need to or not, just to have data," Hopson says in the video. She's calm, not impassioned, but the strength of her feeling—and her anger—comes through.
In that video, Hopson is standing in front of empty seats. But by the time the Nov. 6 board meeting rolled around, the room was full of hundreds of people wearing bright red to signify their support. (Cari Wade Gervin, "The War on Teachers 2: Teachers Revolt!", Nov. 21)

Hey Animation Guild - recognize this?
Clearing out stuff and discovered some ancient artifacts.
Re: Hey Animation Guild - recognize this?
Here is a PBS show, animated in Canada, about outsourcing. http://www.pbs.org/wrenchturns/epguide/outsourcing
Re: Hey Animation Guild - recognize this?
I'm willing to bet that 21.2% of people currently in the Guild will recognize these signs.
They're picket signs from April 2000, the last time Guild demonstrated for something. In this case, to get the Public Broadcasting System to stop using US taxpayer money to fund animation production in countries other than the US.
I saved these pickets signs. I carried two of them and I think Snakebite carried the third one 10 1/2 years ago.
Yep, AN was there. We marched with the Guild. In addition to Snakebite and myself there were many others not in the Guild who picketed that day thanks to AN. In fact, it was the AN Movement that gave the union the kick in the ass to do something other than complain about things.
Nothing happened after that demonstration. It didn't change the situation. From what I understand, American taxpayer dollars are still used to fund animation production outside of the US for content that is broadcast on US television. But it was a fun day no less.
These are the signs I saved.
Re: Hey Animation Guild - recognize this?
As a matter of fact Charles, Steve and I were talking about the PBS strike the other day. We found pictures of those days. Tom Sito and his crazy hat. Steve and Mr. Cataldi.
Indeed. Those were different times.
Re: Hey Animation Guild - recognize this?
You said it. Those were indeed different times. If it were to happen today I wouldn't waste the effort with you guys. You had a lot of goodwill back then. You squandered it with your ill focused hostility. You can't even field a second candidate for president and you can only muster 1 in 5 of your members to vote in your own elections. Did you guys save a picket sign from that march? I'd be surprised if you did. Most people in your union have no idea this even took place. I don't think they care much about it anyway.

There is an application called Save Webpage which will let you do it, I don't know of any other way to do it in the stock browser.

Elton John and Mumford & Sons will hit the Grammys stage to pay tribute to Levon Helm.
The Recording Academy announced Wednesday that T Bone Burnett, Mavis Staples, Zac Brown and Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes also will perform "The Weight" at Sunday's awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
"Can you think of a song that fits (more)?" said Ken Ehrlich, producer of the Grammy Awards. "Philosophically it fits the moment."
Helm was the drummer and singer for The Band. He died of complications from cancer last year at age 71.
Ehrlich said the lineup of performers is a representation of Helm's diverse sound. They'll sing "The Weight" when the show has its in memoriam tribute, which honors musicians who died last year.
"Generationally it's very mixed, and genre-wise it's certainly mixed, and ... that's what (Helm) was all about," Ehrlich said. "He was about old and young, country and pop. He was this incredibly eclectic artist."
The 55th annual Grammy Awards will air live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. on CBS.

Drew Brees is the only recent franchise QB I can think of that didn't show that 'spark' right away - I haven't seen any spark from Tannehill.
I believe any man's finest hour - his greatest fulfillment to all he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle...Victorious
If Tannehill isnt progressing next season, then we draft a new QB. With the new CBA and rookie salary pool, its entirely possible to spend a high draft pick on a QB and not be in salary cap hell for 5 years.
For those who think Tannehill needs some WR's, I agree he does but never mind those right now. First let Ireland draft o-linemen with our top 3 pics for the next 4 years and then we'll get some WR's in rounds 6 and 7 in the 2021 draft.
Ozzy rules!!
Tannehill will get all next season regardless. I think bess and hartline are 2 good receivers but we need someone too demand attention from Dbs and who can give the offence a boost all over. No 1 receiver, harline and bess is solid 3 receivers.
if tannehill is terrible next year which hopefully isn't the case, as posted above, his rookie contract isn't huge and we draft another. Puts us back 3 yrs but with cba and the passing league we have its the way to go.
im hoping tannehill is just having growing pains and is learning and will become our long term answer
His tunovers and ineffectiveness cost us all the games we lost. I know there were other weak areas with the team in those games, but if he had played decent and didn't screw it up, we still win. Devlin rarely turns it over and consistently completes passes and moves the ball and wins games, just look at both of these quarterbacks college carreers.
I think even Philbin knows that Devlin gives us a better chance to win, but Philbin is not in control of that because of the investment and expectations this organization has in Tannehill.

Not all flowers have nectar that makes good honey; and bees other than honeybees make honey for food. but there are many hundreds of honey varietals. The flavor and color of honey are determined by the nectar source. The U.S. produced 171.7 million pounds of honey from 26 million bee colonies in 2003—from clear-as-water to dark brown, from very mild to very strong flavored, from delicately perfumed to pungent. (NOTE: New Zealand and Australian specialty honeys are included in this chart because they are now arriving in U.S. specialty food venues. Look for them.)
Crystallization depends on the proportion of fructose to glucose in the honey (each varietal has its own proportion); the higher the fructose, the less likely to crystallize.
As with wine, the flavor and color of honey can differ every year, even from the same location and beekeeper. While the same type of flower from a different region can produce a different region, even locally, as with grapes, a difference in the weather and "blossoming season" will make a difference in the honey.
Finally, it's important to note that while some honeys taste exactly like their source—buckwheat honey tastes exactly like buckwheat—a honey does not necessarily taste like the fruit of the plant. Blueberry honey does not necessarily taste like blueberries, nor raspberry honey like raspberries, etc. Honeys are based on the nectar of the flower, not on the infusion of the fruit of the plant. Sometimes there's a close correlation, sometimes not. Some fruit honeys are enhanced with extra flavor; read the labels carefully. Raw honey means that nothing has been added. "Milky" is the classic honey flavor.
There are hundreds of varietals in the U.S. alone. This list aims to feature those most frequently found at retail.
Numerous other varietals are available. See HoneyLocator.com.

Waste Site Cleanup & Reuse in New England
Westfield Lofts - Providence, RI
(April 2006)
Programs: EPA
Revolving Loan Fund and EPA
Targeted Brownfield Assessment
Grantee: Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation (contacts)
Summary: Westfield Lofts is the historic rehabilitation and adaptive re-use of two nineteenth-century brick mill buildings into sixty-nine affordable and market-rate loft apartments.
In Providence, RI, when the former Rau Fastener Mill Complex ceased operations in the 1990's, things went downhill fast in the neighborhood. The vacant site quickly became an eyesore, with weeds overgrowing the property, and trash-dumping and other illegal activities abounding.
The West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation became involved, both because of their own interests as an abutting property owner and potential developer of the vacant site, and also in reaction to grass-roots concerns by the people of the neighborhood. But the site was a brownfield that had almost certainly been contaminated by chemicals used in the mill's manufacturing process.
Through vision and persistence, in a ten-year effort, the West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation spearheaded the team effort to take this discarded property left to ruin, and see it assessed, cleaned up, and virtually "re-born".
West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation received a $400,000 subgrant (which does not have to be re-paid) and a $500,000 loan from the Rhode Island Economic Development Corporation, using money that came from a $3,000,000 EPA Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund grant awarded by EPA in 2003. Also, EPA Brownfields "Targeted Assessment" services worth over $100,000 were contributed to the project.
This is the first phase of a four-phased, multi-use redevelopment of a former brownfield site within the West End of Providence. In this phase alone, there were created 47 market-rate loft apartments, 22 affordable (about $500/month) loft apartments, and a tree grove. In real estate ads, the lofts are touted for their "high ceilings, huge windows, wonderful natural light, exposed brick, on-site management, free parking, free community room, and flexible floor plan".
Says one individual: "I worked at Rau Fasteners…I left RI in 1974…It's good to see the old place again…".
More generally, this project already enhances and supports the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The whole image of the West End of Providence is being positively impacted.
The next phases will include a public park, home ownership center and commercial space in a historic building, new affordable single-family homes, 23 new three-story attached residential townhouses, sidewalks, and lighting.
1890's: Rau Fasteners factory begins operations.
1990's: Rau Fasteners closes. West Elmwood HDC develops interest and plans.
2001: Redevelopment plans firm up.
2003: EPA $3,000,000 RLF grant to RI.
December 2005: Grand Opening / ribbon cutting.

The Creston/O-M Panthers jumped back into a first-place tie in Class 3A District 1 with their historic 34-14 homecoming victory over Harlan Friday night.
With ADM's 28-27 loss to Atlantic, the top of District 1 now has a four-team logjam at the top — Creston/O-M, Harlan, Lewis Central and ADM — all with one loss. ADM and Creston/O-M are each 3-1 in district play, while Harlan and LC are 2-1.
Harlan, ranked second in Class 3A last week by the Des Moines Register, fell to No. 9 on Sunday. Creston/O-M rose from ninth to seventh. Associated Press ratings are updated Tuesday, with Harlan and Creston/O-M ranking sixth and eighth, respectively, going into Friday's game.
Creston/O-M, which took a 13-0 lead on two early Harlan turnovers, trailed 14-13 at halftime, but dominated play in the final two periods. Tailback Bryce McIlravy had 111 yards rushing in the second half as the Panther ground game chewed up first downs and the clock in a 14-0 fourth quarter.
Harlan's pass-oriented offense was disrupted by the Panthers' pass rush and three interceptions by Panthers Brandon Phipps, Briar Evans and Luke Neitzel. Harlan quarterback Adam Juhl finished 20-of-37 for 218 yards passing with three interceptions and one TD.
Creston/O-M quarterback Luke Neitzel had three rushing touchdowns and 130 yards on the ground. McIlravy had a 7-yard TD run in his 129-yard night.
Phipps returned his interception 87 yards for a touchdown to give the Panthers a 13-0 lead in the first quarter. Earlier in the period, two Panther defensive players who had big nights — end Keaton Hulett and linebacker Trevor Frain — combined on a big play. Frain jarred the ball loose from Juhl, and Hulett returned the loose ball to the Harlan 36-yard line.
Five plays later, the Panthers were on the board first on Neitzel's 10-yard run.
On Harlan's next series, the Cyclones were clicking in their short-passing game, marching from their own 47 to the Panther 17. Then, Phipps made the play of the night, covering slot receiver Brandon Bjoin on a sideline route.
"He ran an out route. I read it and jumped it," said Phipps, who ran 87 yards with the interception. "Guys were blocking downfield for me."
It wasn't the start veteran Harlan coach Curt Bladt had in mind for his team in a tough road game.
"Fumble here and they go down and score," Bladt said tersely afterward, "then an interception and they go 90 yards and score. I mean, you can't do that!"
The big plays proved valuable, as Harlan's offense gained its rhythm during the rest of the half in taking a 14-13 lead. Juhl finished the half 13-of-18 for 153 yards and a touchdown.
Dominant half
The second half was a totally different story. Rushing, Harlan had 4 yards on 3 carries, all in the third quarter. Creston/O-M ran for 171 yards on 34 attempts. Through the air, Harlan was 7-for-19 for 65 yards and two big fourth-quarter interceptions by Evans and Neitzel. Creston/O-M was 1-for-3 on a 46-yard completion from Neitzel to Maxx Walters that set up the go-ahead TD by Neitzel in the third period.
"I was running straight down the field," Walters said. "The guy was right with me. I was playing like it was going right at me, and then went off to the side to catch the ball."
"Maxx made a great read on the ball," Neitzel said.
Commentators on Medicacom's MC22 broadcast of the game noted the second-half blocking of Creston/O-M's offensive line and fullback Trevor Frain. It was exemplified best on the final scoring drive, eating up 83 yards and seven minutes of clock on 14 plays, culminated by McIlravy's 7-yard jaunt through a crease to the end zone.
"They controlled us up front and did everything they wanted to do, and we did nothing," Bladt said. "That's exactly what happened. Some guys didn't give us a good effort tonight, and we gotta get that changed."
"The guys up front did a great job of getting a push," McIlravy said.
At halftime, changes were made to adjust to Harlan's defensive alignment designed to squeeze the ends and take away Creston's gap scheme. Frain ran in motion less, and performed effectively as a lead blocker for gains by Neitzel and McIlravy.
"We changed some things up," guard Cole Tanner said. "We did a lot more counters, some pulling, and that helped open up some holes."
Pass pressure
Defensively, Creston/O-M came out in its nickel package in the second half, moving more people into the short passing lanes and forcing Juhl to look downfield against the twin safety coverage of Evans and Neitzel. McIlravy and Kainen Somers were coverage corners, after starter Caleb Thompson left with a lower leg injury.
The move to nickel proved effective as the three-man front of mostly Hulett, Tanner and Nate Robinson executed a good pass rush. End Adam Baker was also involved in chasing Juhl.
Twice on interceptions, Juhl was being hit by Hulett on his release.
"It's kind of disheartening," Bladt said. "They basically beat us with a three-man rush, and we threw into double coverage and they picked it off. Hulett got in our head a little bit."
Hulett said the pressure improved over the course of the game.
"They had a good tackle, and you really had to use your hands and get after it," Hulett said. "We put some pressure on the quarterback and I think that caused them some problems. We kept working. We were the more physical team tonight."
It was only Creston/O-M's fourth victory ever in the 44-game history of the series (see related chart). The two back-to-back wins in 2011 and 2012 are also the most lopsided by far, by a combined score of 76-34.
"Within our district there are very few teams that beat Harlan consistently," Morrison said. "They are a great program. Our kids were focused and came out in the second half and executed. I couldn't be more proud of the effort. It's a huge win for the community, and it's a huge district win."
Looking ahead
Creston/O-M travels this week to Glenwood, a 35-15 winner over Sergeant Bluff-Luton in non-district play Friday. After that is a non-district trip to Winterset, followed by the district finale at home against Lewis Central. Harlan has three tough district tests left against Lewis Central, Atlantic and ADM.
"It's always good to win this game," Phipps said. "But we are making bigger goals than just beating Harlan. It's a stepping stone."

Cher Horowitz — I Mean, Alicia Silverstone — Is Back!
Amelia McDonell-Parry @xoamelia / September 19, 2012
5 of 6
Alicia Silverstone a thing of the past? As if! The actress, best known for her roles in "Clueless" and a couple of epic Aerosmith videos, sat down for an interview with director Amy Heckerling in the latest issue of Bullett magazine. Heckerling directed Silverstone in "Clueless" and the two reminisced about the good ol' days (ahh, the 1990s!) and what Silverstone would have done differently following her rise to stardom. But maybe any regrets she has will fade away if her latest effort with Heckerling, the upcoming film "Vamps," has critics and audiences totally buggin'. Let's hope! See the full shoot here and read the interview at the link! [Bullett]

What's the job of a coffee table these days?
Rest your drinks on?
A stable surface for the odd TV dinner?
Rest your feet on?
How about storage?
What about laptops? Ever bent over your coffee table to use your laptop? How about sitting on the floor and trying it?
Several years ago, we bought a coffee table that was pretty much what we wanted.
It was large, rustic-looking and solidly built.. but a bit high!
We'd find that we'd sit back on the couch at the end of the day and put our feet up, only to find the coffee table was so much higher than the seat of the couch that it would soon be biting into our achilles tendons.
It was last day of my holidays and I found myself sitting back, watching "Hot Fuzz". After shuffling my legs about on the table trying to get comfortable I thought it was about time to put a long held plan into action.....
So, I checked with the boss and she liked the sound of my idea - mod the coffee table or get a new one!
-Lower the coffee table
-Add storage area/s
-Add some kind of funky lid to get to the storage areas
Step 1: What you'll need..
Screw drivers (electric driver/drill makes this more fun)
Pinch/wrecker bar or something similarly thin and strong to prevent you bending your screw driver.
Old blanket to catch splintered wood, screws, scraps and keep the boss happy ;)
Oh, and ear protection (hammering the pinch bar and smacking at the wood from the underside of the table generated a fair bit of noise and caused my ears to ring before I grabbed the 'muffs)
Parts required to make something similar at your place..
A similar table to start with ;) - Something with a fairly heavy base if you are going to make it open up..
Nyloc nuts
Hardwood for the cantilever hinge
Any extra wood required for shelves etc.
Replacement wood for any bits you damage
(I had to sacrifice the top routed edging as it was nailed and glued to the table and the table top)
question: The hinges are wonderful, but I want something a little controlled to move it slowly up and down.
Do you think the pressurized door hinges, like the ones you get for hatch backs on cars doors might do the trick?
I get so impressed with renos like this!
Wonderful job.
Hey man, REALLY diggin' this project. Planning to do one for myself. But I have a question, how do I go about creating the hinges so they'll move the table-top to a specified height & distance out from the original table, so it works perfectly with the seat height of my couch?
Decided to make one from scratch! Turned out beautiful! Still leaving the option of adding trim at the bottom but for now I love it! Thanks for posting!
LOVE IT! Make me one. Lol
They are for sale and they are quite expensive!
I bought a lift top coffee table which I love except that it hinges up way too high to comfortably use my laptop. Anyone have an idea for modifying the height?
Hey, just saw your instructions for sale on listia. This guy grabbed one of my instructables and sold it without permission as well.
One question I had though. How do you stop the hinges from continuing to swing? It's a little hard to tell but do they just stop because they resting up against the box of the coffee table when it is open?
I find I also do alot of prep work for cooking at my coffee table now as well. I take my cutting board & bowls & go to work while watching tv. I especially love it when I have to make huge batches of potato salad & I sit there & take care of all the prep work there. It works wonderful for me. My 2 yr old grandson came to visit & I had put lunch on the table & had planned for him to sit beside me, but he sat on the other side of the table where the top lifted up from & he enjoyed his lunch at the right height for him. (Just don't leave it unattended with a child around while it is up). We had no problems, but it is just a thought to be safe.
High Five for you
What are they attached to?
1. So the hinges butting up against the table is basically how you determine how far the table comes towards you, right?
2. Have you seen any wear and tear on your hinges as they keep banging up against the table top? Are they getting dented up? I suppose you could file away the inside of the table top right where the hinge meets the table, so it meets a flat surface instead of a corner.
Anyway, I'd appreciate your thoughts!
You just have to be sure it isn't taller than the two rails when closed, and that it won't get in the path of the top rail as it is coming down. As a bonus if you put four of these in (one for each rail) and you measured everything just right it would add a lot of stability to the top when opened.
There are a few variables that determine how far the table extends towards you, as well as the height of the extended table.
These include:
-the length of the arms
-the height at which they attach to the inside of the table
-the distance they attach/pivot from the inside edge that is closest to you
-the distance from the edge that they attach to the table top itself
If I remembered maths from school there is probably a simple equation that would explain it - personally I just used a couple of bits of scrap wood and laid them out in the shape of the hinge to work out the travel :)
You will also find in testing that these lengths and distances will be limited to what will actually fit inside the table.
2 - Nope, haven't noticed any wear and tear. But we don't extend the table every time we use it. One of my goals for this project was to lower the table as well so that we could put our feet up on on it ;)
The wood I used for the hinge is hardwood and the inner edge of the box that forms the table is pine, so any wear is likely to be seen there.
If it was a worry, you could sand the angle of the edge as suggested and or include some kind of rubber to form a stopper.
I have been thinking about a table for our living room which is not as big as we would like so I prefer most furniture to fulfil more than one need & this is just the job.
I have in mind a mod for a seagrass chest with the structure & storage built into it, I may also include an idea from falconsabre about incorporating a power supply as I have also experienced mishaps with trailing cords.
Have you entered it into the woodworking competition yet?
I just saw the date on some of the other comments, I guess entering it into the current woodworking competition would not be an option would it :-)

BU Today: Latest Headlines
- Could Pee-Wee Football Lead to Brain Injury? September 3, 2015Last January, HBO's Real Sports host Bryant Gumbel interviewed former NFL coach and player Mike Ditka. One of the things Gumbel asked Ditka was, if he had an eight-year-old son now, would he allow him to play football. "Nope," Ditka said. "That's sad. I wouldn't, and my whole life was football. I think the risk is worse […]
- Nickerson Field Gets a Face-lift September 2, 2015Nickerson Field gets a workout. Home to the BU men's and women's soccer and lacrosse teams and used by several club sports and ROTC, Nickerson averages 3,000 hours of use each year. At the height of the year, the field is in use as many as 14 hours a day. Nickerson's last face-lift was back […]
- Introducing the New Dean of Arts & Sciences September 2, 2015The new dean of the College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences is an academic's academic. Ann Cudd jokes that she and her economist husband discuss the insights of economics so often that their three children "speak in terms of opportunity cost and marginal benefit." Cudd became the Arts & Sciences leader August 1. […]
- Textbooks: Buy, Rent, or Go Digital? September 2, 2015If you think the cost of textbooks is skyrocketing, you're right. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, while prices for all consumer goods have doubled over the past 30 years, textbooks have seen a six-fold increase. The College Board estimates that the average student at a private university can expect to spend approximately $1,253 on […]
- Designing Protective Headgear for Teachers of Children with Autism September 2, 2015Diana Smith's summer challenge was daunting: create protective headgear for teachers of children with autism, some of whom occasionally become physically aggressive. The final product had to be easy to wear, nonintrusive, and preferably resemble a baseball cap. Smith (SAR'16), who is working towards a master's degree in occupational therapy, was teamed with recent New […]

First snowstorm of 2014
again incompitent photgraphers taking more then one pic of the same thing and posting ALL of them..did we really need to see the same postperson 5 times in a row..i think they really need to goto photography school..or go work for a cartoon program..haha..
fyi these digital cameras do all the work for you..so it is NOT the camera they need to learn..its about their "eye" that needs work..
Yea I agree,,,,,I get the idea its a mailperson delivering the mail in the snow. One pic is good I get the idea but more than that and its a bit too much.
My complaint all the time about pix series. They send out some office clerk with a auto camera and no idea what photography is about and call it news photos. That's what you get when you run a "newspaper" with minimum wage employees. Papers like the SR are the fast food employers of the news business.
Okay, take a bunch of photos of the same thing with slight differences. Then for your gallery, choose the best one and move on to a NEW subject! Honestly, I understand that getting really good pictures is often the result of taking a bunch of okay pictures with one fortunate stand-out. But that doesn't mean you have to PUBLISH all of the only okay pictures! Gardenman is right: We get the idea. No need to beat your readers over the head with it. Repeatedly.

Sofia's Details
About Sofia
Sofia Mulanovich is more than a pro surfer -- she's an icon, surrounded by enough cameras and fans to rival a tabloid starlet. As the first (and only) South American to win an Association of Surfing Professionals World Title, Sofia electrified a generation of Peruvians with hope, self-confidence, and a love of surfing. And her perseverance and amazing attitude wins her fans around the world. So it's no wonder Sofia was named the number one female surfer in four consecutive Surfer Poll Awards and the "Best Female Action Sports Athlete" at the 2005 ESPYs.
Nicknamed "La Gringa" back home for her blue eyes and blond-streaked hair, Sofia's drive, graciousness, and uncanny natural ability have all the makings of a true athletic hero. In between traveling the globe in search of another World Title and good waves, she is looking forward to pouring energy into a new philanthropic effort to get Peruvian kids into surfing. But in every endeavor you'll find Sofia having fun doing what she loves: surfing with friends.

One of the most common criticisms of True Christianity by hellbound trash is that we True Christians aren't tolerant. Phony-baloney liberal "Christians" seem to be under the delusion that the Bible commands tolerance. If they actually pulled the shrink wrap off of their Bibles, they would know that the exact opposite is true.
Here is what both the Old and New Testaments say about tolerance for sin:
Ezekiel 33:8-9: When I say unto the wicked, O wicked [man], thou shalt surely die; if thou dost not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of his way to turn from it; if he do not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Revelation 2:1-6: Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have [somewhat] against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
These Scripture passages do speak of tolerance, but they don't exactly identify it as a virtue, do they?
Yes, there is a place for Christian love. But keep in mind that true Christian love does not tolerate sin, but instead motivates us to lead people away from it:
Galatians 6:1: Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
James 5:19-20: Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Finally, some hippy-dippy liberal "Christians" say that the New Testament calls us to be more tolerant than the Old Testament did. Then let them explain this:
Acts 17:30-31: And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by [that] man whom he hath ordained; [whereof] he hath given assurance unto all [men], in that he hath raised him from the dead.

Well your NOT really toleratant, MSTT love!! In fact, most are INtolerant and overflowing with SELF RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENTS and ASSumptions!! Someone comes here and you people immediately jump on them and begin making all sorts of UNFOUNDED ASSumptions calling them, usually, HOMERS. I must say, love, I've never been in the midst of soooo many HOMOPHOBIC people. Perhaps, love, if true xtians were a BIT MORE tolerant without the ASSuming and judgements things MIGHT go a bit better for EVERYONE involved. What do you think MSTT love?

Twink you are the epitemy of abomination! You are SIN incarnate! God is not intolerant and neither are we as True Christians. As posted previously, God in the form of JESUS died for your sins so his WRATH would be averted and you had better thank JESUS for that because otherwise you (and everyone like you) would be feeling the WRATH OF THE LORD right now!

Re: Tolerance
Your passages neither condone tolerance nor prohibit it. Therefore, I choose tolerance. Tolerance does NOT mean that you don't warn others. It simply means I won't demand that you do things my way to get the same results. Hey, if it works, it works. Who cares how you get there?
Re: Tolerance
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

Re: Tolerance
I can't say that people are tolerant here (besides Zeke, he seems to be a rare case so this is not directed at you), but I do have some advice to stop the ongoing constant accusations that people here are known as "Christian Extremists":
- Don't judge people until you actually understand where they are coming from, thinking you do know is different to asking if you have it right.
- Knowing other religions beliefs, reading their "version" of a bible/Qu'ran is a start. It may even enlighten you and help you better understand your own. Even say, "Wow, this is directly parallel to my bible"
- People are not "unsaved trash" this is rude and is a very negative put-down to call someone hence why alot of people are negative towards you all, too my first point, it is not your place to judge. Jesus will do that so nothing needs to be said. Leave it to the man in charge.
- No one is more important than anyone else. In the large scheme of it. We are all insignificant earthlings with our own morals and beliefs. Asians, Europeans, Australians, Africans, Canadian, Americans we are all the same. Thinking your above anyone is discusting. I can tell you right now that if one of you did, sure there will be upset people, but to most people... who are you. If America suddenly combusted, Im sorry to say but 99 percent of other countries will be cheering rather than crying.
Lastly.... What is a religion?
Religion is your OWN PERSONAL beliefs. Whether it is believing in a God or multiple. I don't see know one person can be so ignorant to think that there are no other possibilities in the world. Christianity, Anglican, Catholic, Muslim. All it is is categorising beliefs. The sign of a strong person is not one that follows the flock, but one that listens different views and makes up their own mind. I personally think that many people here need to grow a spine.
Banning me or giving me an infraction to this is just proving my point.
Just remember, it is better to attract people to your religion than turn them off and about now I am tempted to run

The Two-Way
Occupy Wall Street Doesn't Endorse Philly Conference
Occupy Wall Street tells The Associated Press that a national conference being planned in Philadelphia this summer was not approved by its General Assembly, meaning the group does not endorse it.
On Tuesday, we reported that the "The 99% Declaration," an Occupy Wall Street working group, was planning a meeting of a "National General Assembly," made up of 876 delegates — a man and woman from each Congressional district. On July 4 in Philadelphia, the group would draft and ratify a set of grievances, which would then be sent to the three branches of the U.S. government.
The group was backed by Michael S. Pollock, an attorney who advised Occupy protesters in New York, but Occupy members from across the country have said the group is simply co-opting the Occupy name.
"Han Shan, a member of the Occupy Wall Street public relations working group, said Thursday that the conference was mainly Pollok's idea and that, while Occupy Wall Street may support some of its ideas, the group isn't endorsing the conference itself.
"'We think it's critically important to truly build consensus,' Shan said. 'This was not something that was built around consensus.'
"The Occupy Wall Street movement began in New York City and spread across the country, with protesters denouncing corporate excess and economic inequality."
In a statement, the Occupy Wall Street Press Relations Working Group said that not only does OWS not endorse the 99% Declaration, but that it was flat out rejected by the Philadelphia General Assembly and the declaration "generated more controversy than consensus" at the New York General Assembly.
"The group's plans blatantly contradict OWS' Statement of Autonomy, as passed by the General Assembly at Occupy Wall Street," the statement reads.
The Statement of Autonomy declares that OWS is "party-less, leaderless, by the people and for the people." It invites people to "speak with us, not for us." But also says that any statement released outside of the movement's official website, "should be considered independent of Occupy Wall Street."

I have a SHP file of sub-areas of U.S. counties (roughly about the size of a Census tract) that I've reprojected into a 'true distance' projection (World Equidistant Cylindrical) in QGIS 1.8. However, when I measure the length of the sub-area border segments I get results that don't make sense (3 meters for instance). I've done this before in earlier versions of QGIS and my results seemed fine. Any idea what the problem could be? Thanks for your help.
