Who Has The Best Southern BBQ in The Magic Valley? [POLL]
I have a friend who claims that the best BBQ in the Magic Valley comes from an angry man in Gooding who cooks over a wood fire. I have also been told the best BBQ comes on a Hoagie in Kimberly. I personally don't feel like I have had true Southern BBQ in The Magic Valley.

Learning by Gerhard Steiner
Book DescriptionThis book is a systematic introduction to learning psychology. It describes, analyzes and explains learning by means of 19 scenarios from everyday situations. The reader may therefore connect theoretical considerations with experiences he or she can easily follow. Several scenarios stem from family situations, others from school and business, and still others refer to very individual learning processes: modification of one's own behavior, acquisition of motor skills, or elaborating one's knowledge structures or problems solving abilities. Having worked through the 19 scenarios the reader will be acquainted with the important learning theories: behavioristic, cognitive, social-cognitive as well as the Gestaltists'.

Earning a bachelor's degree is achieved by completing the necessary course of study offered by the college or university you enroll in. Completing this study may take three to seven years depending on where you seek your degree.
If you are thinking of any higher education system that will affect your life positively while giving you practical knowledge and skills, then Canada's education system is what you need. Travel to Canada for your education will make you appreciate the creativity and innovation of the lecturers in these higher learning institutions.
This large French-speaking province in Canada is a choice for many especially French natives living in the country when it comes to undertaking higher education. However, not all regions use French but the most important higher education institute in the region is Universite du Quebec which enrols thousands of the local students annually.

Jess Hartley is a gaming guru, talented author, and mother of three. She travels the country extensively as a guest speaker at various gaming conventions and in my mind is an exemplary example of someone dedicated to their craft and loving every minute of it.
Gaming is a big part of your life. When did that interest start and what's the appeal for you?
In terms of general gaming, I've always been a gamer. I can remember playing checkers and chess with my parents, playing Monopoly and Life with my sister and cousins when I was very young, and one of the first Christmas gifts I remember vividly was a handheld electronic game (back when they were a big deal) called Merlin. It was incredibly simple by today's standards, but it could play tic-tac-toe and several other games via a grid of blinking red lights. It sounds archaic now, but it was amazing back then.
I came into RPGs (role playing games) much later in life. I bought a copy of the D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) "Red Box" when I was in my early 20s and tried to teach myself and my friends how to play with varying degrees of success. But my "good ex" introduced me to what gaming was supposed to be like, and we had a group of friends who played while he was stationed at Fort Lewis (just outside of Tacoma, Washington) for several years. He and I were the only ones in the group who had a place off of the base, so they'd arrive en masse just after they were released on Friday afternoons and we'd play off and on until Sunday night when they had to head back to get ready for work on Monday morning. We did a lot of Advanced D&D (First and Second Edition) but also GURPs and Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles and Marvel and Aftermath — pretty much everything we could get our hands on. It was a social thing back then, with a lot more emphasis on discovery and destruction than on in-depth roleplay for our group (although there were certainly some ongoing character stories that were very intense roleplay).
I discovered the World of Darkness even later than that, maybe 15 years ago, first online through MUDS and MUSHes and then through LARP (live action role play) and tabletop. The shift of focus from exploration/exploitation (i.e. killing things and taking their stuff) to interpersonal story and political machination was something I found very appealing, and that has taken up a large portion of my interest over the past decade or more.
I'm a fairly new visitor to the world of "indie games," although I'm a fast fan. The opportunity to incorporate new dynamics, like style/fate/peril/luck points is really intriguing to me, as they shift more of the responsibility (and benefit) of creating the story proactively onto the players, rather than having it rest solely with the DM/GM/ST (dungeon master/game master/story teller). That really appeals to me, since it both encourages a greater depth of investment on the part of the players, and allows for greater diversity in storylines and themes.
How has working with White Wolf been?
For the most part, it's been great. I've learned a lot about the industry and had the chance to really hone my skills — writing, editing, game creating, etc. Writing on deadline for a wide variety of different developers, and on teams with a broad spectrum of experienced and new writers can be really challenging, but at the same time, you learn so much. If you don't keep moving forward, keep your head above the proverbial waters, you don't make it for long, so you get better to keep "alive" in the industry. Thanks to my time with White Wolf, I've had the opportunity to work on projects I'd never have been able to touch otherwise (like Changeling: The Lost), and to work with some fantastic writers, editors, developers, artists, and game creators. I've been able to travel to conventions all over North America and meet with other game professionals, folks who are running game stores or events, game masters and players. It's been an amazing opportunity.
The best part, however, is knowing that you've helped create products that people are having fun playing and reading. There's nothing quite like having someone come up to you and say, "You know that monster you made? It almost killed my character last week — we had such a great time!" Knowing you've helped folks have fun is a fantastic feeling.
What inspired you to start One Geek To Another and how has it been going?
One Geek to Another was kind of a tangential product of the blog posts I did just before GenCon this year, which focused on using conventions to break into the gaming industry. (As was Conventions for the Aspiring Game Professional, but we'll talk about that later.) Some of the information included in the blog posts was very basic (hygiene, personal interaction, etc.) because, well, if you don't meet certain basic assumptions and standards of behavior, it's very hard to overcome that and get someone to take you seriously. The blogs met with a lot of support and approval within the gaming community and the larger geek community as a whole — they were posted on SlashDot and reached thousands of readers, which just blew me away. The response was absolutely amazing.
In the course of talking with folks about the blogs and their reaction to them, I really began to get the feeling that there was a niche there that wasn't being filled. Everyone can use someone to come to for advice, and while there's a lot of places to get advice on running games or being a good player, there's little about how to handle some of the interpersonal and social challenges that arise within geek circles. While I have nothing but respect for Miss Manners and other advice columns, sometimes the challenges that we face as part of geek society are best addressed from within, by folks who understand things like cosplay, fandom, alternate sexualities and religions, or the unique social dynamics behind activities like gaming, movie nights or conventions.
So, I decided to throw myself into the proverbial lion pit and create One Geek to Another. We're now in our third month of weekly columns and are available not only on my website, but also at Pen and Paper Games, the Ideology of Madness, and we'll be excerpted in issues of Big Iron Vault, a gamer lifestyle magazine. Reactions have been universally positive, and we couldn't be more pleased.
You attend a lot of conventions. How did you get into that and do you have advice for people attending for a first time?
My first convention ever was Orycon in Portland, Oregon, some *cough*fifteen*cough* years ago. I got a late start in joining the gaming/geek/sci-fi community, and often felt like a black sheep for having an interest in reading fantasy/cosplay (aka playing dressup)/medieval history/gaming/etc. as I was growing up — back when "geek" was an insult, rather than the reclaimed badge of honor it's become today. So stumbling across hundreds of people all gathered to celebrate those same "abnormalties" was like coming home — very similar to the first time I went to an SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) event.
For many years, I attended conventions like Orycon and Norwescon as an attendee. I played games, went to panels, stood in line for autographs, and came home with way too much geeky paraphernalia from the vendor's room, but I only contributed as a consumer. After I wrote my first novel for White Wolf, I organized a lot of book signings at bookstores and ended up being invited to act as a guest at some conventions. By this time we'd moved from the northwest to the northeast, so we attended LunaCon, Arisia, ConBust (at Smith College in Northampton, MA), and a lot of local conventions. Word gets around, and I was fortunate enough to be invited to more events, further away: UBCon in Buffalo, NY, Anime North and FanExpo in Toronto, and Connecticon in Hartford, among others. After we moved back west (this time to Arizona), some of the folks who'd had me out for northeast conventions wanted me to come back to speak on panels, run Q&A sessions, and generally act as a connection point between their con attendees and the gaming industry. It's a role I love to play. I'm still a gamer at heart, first and foremost, so the chance to chat and play with folks from all over the country — all over the world — is something I'm very grateful for.
Now that I'm in the southwest, I've had the opportunity to attend some great conventions out here too: RinCon in Tucson was fantastic in October, and I just came back from NeonCon in Las Vegas. Next month, there's a great little mini-con in Mesa — Game Dayz held at the Gamers Inn the first weekend of the month. It's always a lot of fun.
As far as advice for new convention goers — rest up beforehand. Come prepared with whatever food/drinks you'll need, or money to obtain them while you're there. Take care of yourself. A good standard is 5-2-1. Get at least five hours of sleep, two decent meals, and one shower (not negotiable!) every day!
And don't be shy. Conventions are a great opportunity to meet new friends, try new games, learn new things. Challenge yourself to break out of your habits. If you're a steadfast D&D fan, try playing a different RPG. If you've only played video games or tabletop, give a LARP a try. If you've only played Magic: The Gathering, try out a new board or card game. Sit in on a panel, then go up and talk to the people who spoke after they're done presenting. Walk around and ask questions about what's being played — you might just discover your next favorite game!
Conventions are full of opportunities to try new things. Most of the game sessions are one-shot (rather than part of an ongoing chronicle) and limited duration (between two and six hours in length). Most are designed either with pre-generated characters, so you can just sit down and play, or will take you through a fast character generation before game begins. And there are tons of demos — people come to the convention specifically to teach new folks how to play their favorite game. Sometimes you even get to play with the creator!
And, if you're interested in getting into the gaming industry, conventions can be an awesome opportunity. I wrote a 34-page .PDF product, Conventions for the Aspiring Game Professional, that addresses how to best use conventions and other face-to-face events as a way to put your best foot forward as an aspiring game professional — whether you're an artist, a writer or a game designer. It's available for download for $1.99 from Flames Rising, DriveThru RPG, Indie Press Revolution, and Paizo — wherever you prefer to get your electronic game materials from.
How do you fit in writing with your family life?
I'm really blessed to have a spouse and children who both understand and support my career. I couldn't ask for a better team to help me with my writing. They understand when I need to shut the door and get a project done, and they are always willing to help me brainstorm and throw ideas around. My youngest invented the symbol and part of the name for the Bodhisattvas of the Broken Cage from Lords of Summer. I was talking with my husband about what I was trying to create, and she chimed in with the idea of using a sigil that had a birdcage with a sprung door. My family has always been like that, supportive and creative and… well, they're just really amazing.
And, I have to say, the whole freelancing thing started for me because of my family. As much as I love writing and my career, my family comes first, and it's been great to be able to mold my projects and schedules around my family's needs as well. They put up with me working 12-14 hour days sometimes, but then there's other times when I can get away for a few days or even several weeks at a time, to concentrate on family stuff. My daughter's allergies were really bad last year, and she missed almost five weeks of school because of a horrible cough. No one had any idea what was causing it or how to stop it, and I felt very fortunate to have a job where I could work and still be there for her when she needed me, without trying to wrangle sick days or FMLA time off.
Do you have any advice for people wanting to break into the gaming industry?
I came into the industry knowing nothing about how it worked, and consequently made a plethora of mistakes or just wandered around in the dark for several years. I was fortunate enough to stumble across some helpful industry professionals, folks like Matt McFarland, Joe Carriker, Ethan Skemp, Chuck Wendig, Rich Dansky, and Ari Marmell who were willing to answer a newbie's questions and not laugh (too hard) at how little I knew. With their help (and the aid of more folks than I could ever list in one interview), I managed to get my footing and proceed without making too many career-destroying mistakes. But I remember how scary it was, to be fumbling around with no real idea of what was happening. Because of that, I've always tried to be accessible to aspiring game professionals, and to share what I've learned with them.
I'm always available to answer questions – folks can just drop me an email or catch me at a convention, and I'm happy to make time to chat with them. I'm also working on providing the answers to the most commonly asked questions (and most frequently made mistakes), both through One Geek to Another, through products like Conventions for the Aspiring Game Professional, and through interviews like this.
My short answer is: Do your research. Learn as much as you can about how the industry works. Figure out what you want to do, within that framework. Find out what the company(s) you want to work for are looking for, and provide that to them. Use all available resources (forums, panels, current game pros) and treat it like the business that it is, not just the next step in your recreational enjoyment of games.
Can you tell us a bit about Tinker's Damn and where it currently stands?
Tinker's Damn is a steampunk-themed, non-collectible card game that I've been working on as an independent project. It's still in the fine-tuning stage, but I'm hoping to finish working out all the details and have it ready for public consumption next year some time. I'm still debating self-publishing it, versus finding the right home for it with an established game company. There's pros and cons to both options, but my focus right now is on making it the best and most fun game it can be.
You have your hands in various types of writing related ventures from gaming to fiction to editing. Do you have a favorite and if so which is it?
I think that writing is a lot like cooking. You may have favorite dishes, but very few chefs want to make the same dish over and over every night. Each has its own pros and cons, and a good mixture keeps your hunger honed to keep taking on new projects. Gaming, for example, is a great opportunity to collaborate with other writers and creators, but it can be limiting because you're working in someone else's intellectual property. Original fiction gives you much more flexibility for creativity, but can be a little lonely if you're accustomed to working with a team and bouncing ideas around with other creative types. Editing is like the bread served between courses. It clears your palate and helps you learn how to make your own writing better by catching mistakes and thinking how to improve others' projects, but it lacks the sheer joy of creating that writing possesses. I'm very happy to be working on a plethora of projects right now, running the gamut from gaming to novel-length fiction to short stories.
Have you found that the state of our economy has affected the gaming industry and if so, how?
Oh, definitely. I think the current economic crunch is affecting the gaming industry on multiple levels, in some positive ways and some negative. More and more families and individuals are looking for ways to entertain themselves while getting the most bang for their buck. It's difficult to beat play-at-home games for that. Even the high-end RPGs or board games offer (literally) countless hours of enjoyment for a very low investment. For the cost of two hours of passive entertainment – say a pair of movie tickets and refreshments at a theater – you can buy just about any game out there and play it over and over with different groups of friends for years. Games are the affordable entertainment.
But that's not the only way the current economy is affecting the industry, of course. Many folks who were working day jobs and freelancing on the side are finding themselves unemployed and scrambling to make ends meet by adding in additional freelance work. Others are finding that their day jobs have become so demanding they don't have time or energy to freelance (or they've had to take a second full-time job, which leaves no time for freelancing). Some companies are farming out work that once belonged to in-house employees to freelancers, to keep expenses down. Some are even lowering freelance rates or benefits (reducing the number of copies an author receives of the books they've worked on) in order to try to lower overhead. More freelancers are looking towards the video game industry to try to make better income, and more companies are hiring new writers/artists because they'll usually work for less. Some freelancers have begun looking towards creating their own .PDF or POD (print on demand) products, to try to supplement their income, and some game companies (such as White Wolf) are also focusing their attention on those electronic avenues as the wave of the future.
There's lots of movement going on out there, and lots of ripples spreading across the industry as a whole. Where it will all be in a few years is hard to say.
What upcoming projects do you have?
I've got so many irons in the fire, I can't see the fire any longer! I promised myself that this year (fall to fall, since the new year starts after the convention season ends) would be the year I branched out. After several years of writing almost exclusively game content and almost exclusively for White Wolf, I'm spreading my wings and taking on some new challenges. I just worked on a game supplement project for Margaret Weis Productions, called Supernatural Adventures. It was very exciting to be a part of, in no small part because I'm such a big fan of the television show that the game is based on.
I've also been working with Lone Shark Games on some interesting projects. The one that released in October was for Old El Paso (yes, the Mexican food company) for their international "El Tacodor" promotion. After years of working mostly on things that only gamers see, it was kind of neat to be able to point out, "Hey, I did that!" to friends and family members who aren't gamers and have them have some clue what I was talking about.
As for current projects — well, some are under non-disclosure agreement, which means I have to be hush-hush about them. But I'm contributing an essay to The Bones, a book that Will Hindmarch is creating about gamers and their dice, and in the upcoming Family Games: The 100 Best by Green Ronin. I'm working on finding a home for my original novel, La Serenissima, and a short story based in the same world as the novel will be part of an upcoming anthology that should be out after the first of the year. I'm also doing some game-related fiction work and some indie supplemental work, but I can't really say more about that at this point. I think next year is going to be really interesting, and I can't wait til some of these projects start coming out.
And, of course, we've already talked about Tinker's Damn and One Geek To Another. Between those and the others I've mentioned, I'm staying pretty busy. But I'm always looking for new opportunities, so if you hear of something interesting — let me know.Powered by Sidelines

Everything you wanted to know covered in helpful Lightroom tutorial
Adobe's Lightroom 5 is a powerful program, but that power comes at the expense of a learning curve that some find pretty steep. In this excellent video shot at B&H, Photographer Robert Rodriguez, Jr. walks photographers through the functions and features of Lightroom's Develop module in an hour-long hands-on tutorial.
Despite the first few minutes (when attendees are seen still taking their seats), the video soon moves to a view of Rodriguez's desktop as he works through several images from start-to-finish and covers just about every panel and slider in the Develop module.
The video is part of the B&H Event Space Seminars, a series of free events that teach photographic technique and skills.

I think that this is one of the best tools for photo editing. LR5 is powerful especially for night and landscape photographers. Easy to use, manages your photography, and is easy to adjust into your work flow. A lot of great photographers use LR to create great images.
This video is 8 months old why post it now when there are so many other good LR videos?
Because you are regurgitating reddit 4 days ago:
Lightroom isn't difficult to use at all, in fact it's really simple, one of the best laid out and user friendly image processing programs out there.
If you find Lightroom difficult to use then it's your photography skills that need improving in the first instance. Once you nail that then Lightroom is easy and very intuitive.
Don't blame the tools
Ditto. I got Lightroom 5 when I bought my Samsung NX300M two months ago. But I've been avoiding the learning curve and just staying with jogs. With this video, I felt able to give it a try with some RAW images, and the results have been good. Thank you, Mr. Rodríguez!
Video looks very useful. Physical problem here...must be able to watch the video in 10-15' intervals. Can it be downloaded & saved to my computer (Mac)?
There are lots of YouTube downloader programs available.
I don't use Mac, but here a couple of many:
I must say this is very cool of DPReview to post this type of thread seeing as how DPReview is owned by Amazon; and with B&H being a strong photographic equipment competitor.
Great video but it's amazing how this has grown from something that was easier to use than Photoshop, to what it is now.
I started with Ps 2.5...look at it now!
it still is easier to use than PS
I don't think it was ever designed to be easier to use than PS, just more focussed. In any case it is still much easier to use as a package than PS. With PS there are 100's of functions that I don't even know about let alone use whereas with LR I use all of the functions in the modules I am interested in.
i still have lightroom v4 64bit ,for it permorms better then v5
honestly i did not find new v5 feature to push me to buy v5
is really v5 more powerfull then v4?
is worth to upgrade?
by the way thanks for the video!
no it is not. It is a minor update, unlike from 3 to 4 which was bigger, better engine. The engine here is basically the same, but very few minor features like: straighten your image a little easier and spot heal is from photoshop which is a tad better then before.
the only reason I even upgraded was adobe trick of not updating camera raw on older software and just new one. Got a Sony A7, which wasn't supported in LR4. No, I am not interested in adobe dng converter for any old lightroom versions.
LR4 has spot correction.
L5 has a some small but crucial enhancement to the perspective correction: aspect ration, without it does not always produce good result.
I really like the circular layer, it is very easy and intuitive to use, much easier and faster to use than the brush which.
Smartpreviews arw useful if you use external USB drives for images.
Here's a meandering video discussing the new stuff.
Spot healing/removal is much much better. Pre LR5 you got to fix a dot but with LR 5 you can drag the spot removal which is incredibly useful for all sorts of stuff, from removing a hair to a light pole.
Spectro is way underselling the "straighten your image a little easier". The new tools go way way beyond just twisting your picture a bit, it can analyze buildings and correct for some forms of perspective distortion making crooked lines straight. Sometimes it falls on it's face but when it works it can be great.
I also find myself resorting to the radial filter a lot. If you take pictures of people it's so easy to just select a face and lighten shadows without affecting the entire picture. You can do this with the adjustment brush in LR 4 but it would take 4evah compared to LR5 with the radial filter.
Nice explanation of the "upright" tool
Even if LR 6 was released in two weeks, the information given in this video would still be relevant.
That's unless Adobe has changed the filing system from previous versions of LR yet again.
[LR Update problem from 3/4 to 5... filing system got changed slightly, could result with users thinking that all files were lost .... not a happy state to be in ]
Very nice LR video.
1hr 15mins and it kept my attention throughout :-)
Thank you DPR for bringing this to our (or at least my) attention.
Thanks, but he should have waited 2 weeks or so and done one on LR 6. :-)
Good information, but I have to comment on the opening "Lightroom 5 is a powerful program, but that power comes at the expense of a learning curve that some find pretty steep." The learning curve describes how quickly the effort of doing something goes down as you do more of it. A steep learning curve means you learn quickly and easily, so the effort drops a lot in a hurry.
If you meant to say that Lightroom can be difficult to learn, this opening has it backwards. The fact that lots of other people have learning curves backwards too doesn't change that.
This has nothing to do with the content of the piece. The problem is that people who know about learning curves will think "if they can't get this right, how much can they know about Lightroom?" A good deal, it seems, but if you turn readers off before they even get to the article, some of them won't make it that far.
Please try to use "learning curve" correctly in the future.
This ship has sailed, my friend.
I don't think anyone ever uses it correctly anymore, meaning that the incorrect way is now correct. It's a shame, but that's how it is. Incidentally, I do think Lightroom is one of the easiest programs to learn. Adjusting photos was never as easy before it arrived on the market, so perhaps it's "learning curve" in its original sense, after all...
They turned off one reader. They'll survive.
"Arguably, the common English use is due to metaphorical interpretation of the curve as a hill to climb. (A steeper hill is initially hard, while a gentle slope is less strainful, though sometimes rather tedious. Accordingly, the shape of the curve (hill) may not indicate the total amount of work required. Instead, it can be understood as a matter of preference related to ambition, personality and learning style.)"
There are some great videos put up by B&H.
Anybody that does their own printing should watch the video by the same instructor as above called 'Introduction into fine art printing'.
Excellent information given in a concise and easy to understand manner.
B&H training videos are an excellent resource. I go back to many particular videos quite often.
Extremely good tutorial thanks. LR is a fabulous program, it's a shame so many blame it when in reality they just don't know how to use it.

Moose Ultimate Southwest, or MÜS for short, is Southwest high School's Ultimate Frisbee team. Come join in the fun!
We play in both the fall and the spring, and we encourage everyone with an interest in Ultimate and Frisbees to come out and play! Learn to throw and catch a disc! Sure we field teams in competitive leagues, but ultimate is all about the Spirit of the Game (fair play and mutual respect). We provide numerous opportunities for everyone to learn and play. Anyone who wants to play will play -- even if you've never played before. There are no cuts. Even part-time participation is enthusiastically embraced!
The spring ultimate season is coming soon! Mark your calendar for the following events:
Be sure to mark your availability for all events in TeamSnap.
MÜS will play a game vs. a SWHS faculty and staff team on Tuesday, September 13, 2016. The game will be held right after school in the SWHS Stadium (our only chance during the year to play there). Round up everyone you know and come join the fun.
After the game, go to the Chipotle at Calhoun Commons between 6:00 and 8:00 to help raise money for MÜS. Just tell them you're there for the Southwest High School Ultimate Frisbee Team fundraiser when you check out.
MÜS Booster meetings will be held on the 2nd Thursday of each month this year. This is primarily for coaches, captains, and parents, but all players are welcome. We use this time to discuss and make plans for the team involving such things as practices, leagues, tournaments, jerseys, recruiting, fundraising, etc. All meetings will be held at 7:00 at the Kinneavy/Lee home unless otherwise noted. See TeamSnap for details any changes to the schedule. This year's meetings are currently scheduled for the following dates: 9/8, 10/13, 11/10, 12/8, 1/12, 2/9, 3/9, 4/13, and 5/11.
It's time for the fall ultimate season to begin. This is a long message, but there's lots of important information here, so grab a cool drink, sit back, relax, and read on…
FALL PRACTICES will begin the first day of school and will held Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 3:45–5:45 at Martin Luther King Park (42nd and Nicollet). As always, everyone is welcome to play at practice even if they can't come every day and whether or not they intend to participate in the fall league.
FALL LEAGUE is offered by Minnesota Ultimate again this year with a slightly different format and a different location. MÜS will register one or two coed teams depending on numbers, so please email firstname.lastname@example.com ASAP to let him know whether you intend to play in the fall league or not. Games will be held on Saturdays at 10:00 at the West Minnehaha Recreation Center, 685 W Minnehaha Ave, St Paul, MN 55104. Players are responsible for finding their own transportation. It will begin September 10 and runs through November 5, 2016. The fee for players with a current USAU membership is $25 (add $17.50 for players who need a USAU membership for fall).
The MÜS Boosters offer financial support for any player that needs help with the above fees. Please contact a coach or send an email to email@example.com.
REGISTRATION FORMS are available in the Fall Season section. All players practicing with MÜS this fall need to complete a MÜS Application Form and the MÜS Medical Waiver. Players playing in the fall league will also need to complete a USAU medical waiver, have a USAU membership, and pay the registration fee. See the Fall 2016 MÜS Registration Information and Checklist for more details.
TEAMSNAP will continue to be the primary vehicle for communication again this year. Please log into your Teamsnap account ASAP and verify that the phone numbers and email addresses for your family are correct. Also please add your jersey number and a photo!
RECRUIT new players! This is a great time of year to recruit new players and to have them come out to practices to check it out. They're welcome to come practice with the team and learn about the game for free. They do NOT need to pay fees unless they are registering for fall league (though we do ask that they complete an application form and a medical waiver).
Show your team spirit by joining us for a fundraiser to support Southwest High School Ultimate Frisbee Team. Come in to the Chipotle at 3040 Excelsior Blvd. #104 in Minneapolis on Tuesday, September 13th between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. Tell the cashier you're supporting the cause to make sure that 50% of the proceeds will be donated to Southwest High School Ultimate Frisbee Team.
Print the flyers and pass them out to everyone you know. Be sure to tell them to mention the fundraiser when they go in.

The show begins with Team dos Santos' number one pick Shamar Bailey, who's been suffering from a lingering back injury.
"I just want to get these fights over with and go from there," he says.
Just as Bailey begins to delve into his injury, who else but his next opponent and supposed "spy" Chris Cope walks through.
"I feel like that dude is lurking from every corner and he's like listening to our conversation," says Bailey.
Back at the gym, Junior dos Santos is working closely with his number four pick Ramsey Nijem, who will be up to bat next taking on the gritty Clay Harvison.
"Ramsey is the best wrestler on my team. If he catches Clay the fight is over," says dos Santos, confident of Nijem's wreslting pedigree.
During a confessional, Ramsey discusses his family who hails from Palestine. Regular trips to the the war-ravaged country gives Nijem a sense of pride with his current profession as a mixed martial artist, asserting that fighting in a controlled environment is much safer than fighting for his life in the midst of war.
UFC president Dana White walks into the gym with budding contender Brian Stann. The Marine Corps Lieutenant, who also doubles as regular spokesperson, has come to talk with the fighters and help motivate them in their efforts to become the next "Ultimate Fighter."
"Not only is (Stann) very well respected in the mixed martial arts community, but he is very well respected in the military community," says White.?
"Success breeds success" is a sentiment shared by Brian, who insists that though the rigorous military training is difficult, mixed martial arts comes as a very close second.
Clay Harvison has had his stitches removed following his dislocated finger, which was injured in his preliminary match-up with Mick Bowman. Although the bone protruded the skin, Harvison will continue on with the competition.
"Once I get adrenaline going, I smell blood and then it's all good," says Harvison, the number four pick for Team Lesnar, who is still suffering some pain from the wound.
Brock steps in the cage with Clay to go over a few techniques, specifically working the whizzer should Harvison tie up with Ramsey.
Harvison knows that Nijem's only method of winning will be to take him down and look for a choke, though Brock is growing increasingly confident with Harvison's progress. Dana is equally impressed with the grit he's shown by continuing to fight one week removed after his bone protruding incident.
Just moments before the fight begins, Ramsey is feeling very ill, though he still breathes confidence, and it shows.
The fight is underway, and Nijem wastes no time in clinching Harvison against the fence, immediately scoring the takedown. "Stripper Ramsey" takes Clay's back immediately, sinks in the hooks, and fishes for the choke. Just 56 seconds into the bout, Harvison taps to a rear naked choke.
"Thats how you fight when you get sick? My gosh!" raves an elated Junior.
"Clay was just outclassed with the wrestling," says Brock bluntly.
The next fight up will be Shamar against Cope.
Coach dos Santos talks about Bailey's previous injury, which he says is now a non-issue and anticipates a dominant performance turned in by his top pick.
Shamar's motivation for the bout stems from Chris' incessant "wooing" around the house, which has woken him up from sleep on several occasions. ?
"I'm fighting Shamar. Even though he doesn't like me much, I like him a lot. I think he's a great guy," says Cope, who has been consistently upbeat despite catching the most flack amongst the fighters. He's generally thought of as a "double agent" by his castmates and the weakest fighter of the bunch to boot.
Cope maintains that while Shamar has made the bout personal, he's just looking forward to the "fun" experience.
Lesnar works with Chris one-on-one, employing the same technique he went over with Harvison, the whizzer, to which Cope seems a little more receptive too.
"What I saw in Shamar in his (preliminary) fight was that he looks very one dimensional to me," says the UFC head honcho, who says that he can see Cope winning this bout if he proves to be the more diverse fighter of the two.
And now, the fight is underway.
In the first round, Shamar charges Chris with a few solid shots before backing him up against the fence and fishing for the takedown. Chris is defending well, popping Shamar with shots to the head. Bailey continues to look for the takedown, but Cope has phenomenal balance and defense against arguably the best wrestler in the house. The round ends with Shamar continuing to look for a single leg, though Chris is utilizing the whizzer.
Chris is becomes more confident in round two, and begins to circle away from the cage, attacking Bailey with punches as he advances. Try as he might, Shamar cannot take Cope down and the fight heads to the judges' scorecards. All three judges score the bout 20-18 in favor for Team Lesnar's Cope. It would, to date, have to be the biggest upset of the show. ?
"Chris did a wonderful job, wowed us, and made chicken salad out of chicken (expletive)," says Lesnar.
After the win, Dana anticipates that Chris will be doing plenty more "wooing" around the household.
Highlights of the next show feature Tony Ferguson of Team Lesnar going ballistic.
Then the remaining quarterfinal bouts are underway as Ferguson takes on Ryan McGillivray of Team dos Santos, while Team Lesnar's resurgent Chuck O'Neil attempts to exact revenge in his rematch with Zach Davis. The semifinal bouts will also be announced.
At the end of the first pair of quarterfinal bouts, the Team Lesnar and Team dos Santos are tied up at one apiece.

Created attachment 502504 [details] [diff] [review]
blacklist everything but NVIDIA in GLX
With GLX (aka OpenGL on linux and unix systems), many drivers are crashy to the point that just creating a GL context crashes. However, at least the NVIDIA proprietary driver is good and non-crashy.
This patch blacklists everything but the NVIDIA proprietary driver.
This really should go into beta9 because it fixes a severe post-beta8 regression on Linux. Post-beta8, a change in how we create GLX contexts (bug 613079) started triggering lots of GL driver crashes with GLX. Together with WebGL getting enabled by default, and many webpages creating WebGL contexts just to be cool (modernizr does), this means that lots of Linux users experienced crashes on many pages: bug 616416, Bug 622294, Bug 621699.
Meanwhile, I am also working in bug 616416 on changing the way we do GLX initialization to be less prone to triggering driver crashes. But that is taking more time and is a lower priority.
Note, you can bypass this by defining the MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST environment variable.
Created attachment 502585 [details] [diff] [review]
land me!
This version is ready to land:
- cleanup suggested by vlad (smaller patch)
- changeset metadata
Since the tree is currently closed I can't push it myself.
ok, pushed.
Should this be backed out on trunk once the beta is built?
I have thought about this some more and this is entirely the wrong solution.
1. This is supposed to be blacklist and NOT a whitelist.
2. Adding a feature that only work using a proprietary driver is in direct opposition to the entire idea of Linux.
3. I have zero issues or crashes using the Xorg ATI drivers that are currently available under fedora 14, so I think this is just a people are using old kernel/driver issue.
If this is really such a huge crash issue then it should be turned off with a pref so that users who want to test can turn it on with a pref. The you can turn it on with an ENV variable does not work well for the case where Firefox is launched by clicking on a link form an external application.
Bill, can you open a new bug instead? Keeps things cleaner.
OK. For the record I guess this is OK if it is the best we can do for the beta. I just don't think it should remain on trunk.
Bill filed bug 624593.
Benoit, was there a reason to make this an env var and not a preference?
Only ease of implementation. The plan is to make it a preference, and to make it not GLX specific. I think we should have a global gfx.ignore-blacklist preference.

difficult to set up and hard to reach technical su
by AAA on 8/19/2011
bought this camera because it is less expensive when comparing with others. I am not that good at computer and networking, but I was able to get my computer to see what the camera is seeing. Unfortunately, I was not able to see the camera when I was at my office or Starbucks. Tried to call their technical support and could not get through for the past hour. Their web site was also down and that should give you a hint of what is going on. I am returning the camera...

Shield of Achilles
The Shield of Achilles is the shield that Achilles uses in his fight with Hector, famously described in a passage in Book 18, lines 478–608 of Homer's Iliad. The intricately detailed imagery on the shield has inspired many different interpretations of its significance, with no definitive answer.
In the poem, Achilles lends Patroclus his armor in order to lead the Achaean army into battle. Ultimately, Patroclus is killed in battle by Hector, and Achilles' armor is stripped from his body and taken by Hector as spoils. The loss of his cousin prompts Achilles to return to battle, so his mother Thetis, a nymph, asks the god Hephaestus to provide replacement armor for her son. He obliges, and forges a shield with spectacular decorative imagery.
Homer's description of the shield has garnished attention from historians in the 21st century, as it provides one of the first known uses of ekphrasis in ancient Greek poetry. Ekphrastic poems provide detailed commentaries about the creation of art. The intended goal is to add deeper meaning to artwork by reflecting on the process of its creation, in turn, allowing the audience to envision artwork that they can't see. The ability of Homer to produce such a vivid image of a mythological object is a true statement to his skill and creativity as a storyteller. Ekphrastic texts are of high importance for historians, due to their reflection of historical thought during ancient time periods.[1]
The passage in which Homer describes the creation of the shield has actually influenced many later poems, including the Shield of Heracles once attributed to Hesiod.[2] Virgil's description of the shield of Aeneas in Book Eight of the Aeneid is clearly modeled on Homer.[3] The poem The Shield of Achilles (1952) by W. H. Auden reimagines Homer's description in 20th century terms. Of other significance, this passage is recognized as the first example of cosmological mapping in the history of Greece.[4]
Homer gives a detailed description of the imagery which decorates the new shield. Starting from the shield's centre and moving outward, circle layer by circle layer, the shield is laid out as follows:
- The Earth, sky and sea, the sun, the moon and the constellations (484–89)
- "Two beautiful cities full of people": in one a wedding and a law case are taking place (490–508); the other city is besieged by one feuding army and the shield shows an ambush and a battle (509–40).
- A field being ploughed for the third time (541–49).
- A king's estate where the harvest is being reaped (550–60).
- A vineyard with grape pickers (561–72).
- A "herd of straight-horned cattle"; the lead bull has been attacked by a pair of savage lions which the herdsmen and their dogs are trying to beat off (573–86).
- A picture of a sheep farm (587–89).
- A dancing-floor where young men and women are dancing (590–606).
- The great stream of Ocean (607–609).[5]
The Shield of Achilles can be read in a variety of different ways. One interpretation is that the shield represents a microcosm of civilization, in which all aspects of life are shown. The depiction of law suggests the existence of social order within one city, while feuding armies depict a darker side of humanity. The imagery of nature and the universe also reinforce the belief that the shield is a microcosm of Greek life, as it can be seen as a reflection of their perception of the world. Also, the sun and the moon are shown shining simultaneously, which some consider representative of a general understanding of the universe and awareness to the cosmological order of life [6] and as such, its akin to a mandala of antiquity.
The shield shows images of conflict and discord by depicting the shield's layers as a series of contrasts – i.e. war and peace, work and festival. Wolfgang Schadewaldt, a German writer, argues that these intersecting antitheses show the basic forms of a civilized, essentially orderly life.[7] This contrast is also seen as a way of making "us…see [war] in relation to peace.".[8] Another interpretation is that various scenes shown on the shield represent an overwhelmingly aristocratic way of life. Some interpret the beauty and the festive continuity within the shield as an emphasis on the benefits of an aristocratic lifestyle, as the shield juxtaposes images of happiness and order, with images of violence and chaos.[9] The shield's description falls between the fight over Patroclus' body and Achilles' reentry into battle, the latter being the impetus to one of the poem's bloodiest parts. Consequently, the shield could be read as a "calm before an impending doom," used to emphasize the brutality of violence during the Trojan War. It could also be read as a reminder to the reader of what will be lost once Troy ultimately falls.[10]

If you have hoarding disorder, you have an extremely difficult time parting ways with possessions because you feel like you need to save them. You may feel anxiety or distress when you think about getting rid of these possessions and your hoarding may affect your everyday life.

Symptoms of Hoarding Disorder

Pathological or compulsive hoarding is a specific type of behavior characterized by these symptoms:

acquiring and failing to throw out a large number of items that would appear to have little or no value to others, such as papers, notes, flyers, newspapers, or clothes

severe cluttering of the person's home so that it is no longer able to function as a viable living space

significant distress or impairment of work or social life

feeling more attached to items than most people do, which includes not wanting others to touch or borrow them

organizational difficulty because there are so many items

food or trash piling up to the point of being unsanitary

feeling ashamed or embarrassed because of the amount of clutter

having trouble making decisions or routinely procrastinating, which leads to problems handling everyday activities

How Hoarding Impacts Your Life

Hoarding disorder can range anywhere from mild to serious. In severe cases, your home may be so full of the items you've been hoarding that it's difficult to get around in or even virtually uninhabitable. If you hoard animals, your home may be unsanitary because of the number of animals living there and the impossibility of keeping up with all of them. With mild cases of hoarding, you may notice little impact on your life.

If you have hoarding disorder, you may save items because you are afraid you will need them and not have them when needed; you believe the items may eventually become valuable; you are afraid of running out of something; you have sentimental attachment to the items; or it may make you feel safe to have many items, especially particular ones.

The Biggest Challenge of Hoarding Disorder

Most people with hoarding disorder do not have insight into how debilitating their problem may be. They may not see their hoarding as an issue or realize how irrational it is.This can make treating them challenging. However, with treatment, sufferers of hoarding disorder can significantly improve their lives and understand their behavior.

Treatment of Hoarding

Hoarding does not seem to respond as well to medications such as Anafranil (clomipramine) or Paxil (paroxetine) as other forms of OCD. A cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach may be more effective, as it specifically targets the harmful thoughts that are often present among people who hoard.

How Hoarding is Related to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder

Hoarding disorder is in a category called "Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders" in the current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual-5 (DSM-5) because it is related to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and has many of the same symptoms. About 15% of people with OCD report compulsive hoarding as their primary problem. While it usually begins in childhood, hoarding often goes unnoticed until adulthood. People who hoard often have relatives who have also engaged in compulsive hoarding.

On April 16, 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in U.S. Airways, Inc. v. McCutchen http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/12pdf/11-1285_i4dk.pdf finding in favor of U.S. Airways in its quest to recover $66,866 in medical expenses incurred by its employee as a result of a traffic accident.
McCutchen was a participant in the U.S. Airways Group Health Plan (the "Plan"). McCutchen was injured in an automobile accident and incurred $66,866 in medical expenses which were reimbursed under the Plan. He retained an attorney, sued the other driver, and recovered $110,000 from the third-party and/or its insurers. McCutchen's attorney extracted a $44,000 (40%) contingency fee, so McCutchen netted $66,000. U.S. Airways demanded reimbursement for the full $66,866 it paid from the Plan based on a plan provision which requires Plan participants to repay the Plan for any amounts recovered from third party payers. McCutchen refused and U.S. Airways brought suit.
The District Court ruled in favor of U.S. Airways based upon the Plan language. However, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the award on the basis that such a recovery would be unjust enrichment in favor of the Plan sponsor. Based upon a split in the circuits, the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari and heard oral arguments on November 27, 2012. Justice Kagan in her majority opinion stated that health plan administrators may use ERISA Section 502(a)(3) in the courts to obtain appropriate equitable relief to enforce the terms of the Plan. Rejecting McCutchen's claims of unjust enrichment, the Court vacated the Third Circuit decision and remanded the case. However, interpreting the recovery provision in the Plan, the Court determined that the terms were ambiguous with respect to whether recovery could be obtained against the gross amount (the $110,000 award) or the net recovery after attorneys' fees ($66,000). As the Supreme Court had found that there was a contractual gap, it then applied the "common fund" doctrine under which attorneys' fees are allocated between the Plan and the Plan participant so that the Plan would not benefit from the participant bearing the burden of all the attorneys' fees as a collection agent for the employer. Accordingly, the case was remanded back to the District Court for further proceedings.
The McCutchen case means that reimbursement provisions in group health plans will be enforced by the courts on the basis of contract theory. As a condition to enrolling in a group health plan, plan participants and beneficiaries may be required to agree that in a scenario where the medical expenses are a result of an injury caused by third parties, any recovery from those third parties must be shared with the group health plan. The plan language could also be explicit about which party bears the cost of the attorneys' fees. The Supreme Court's decision implies that a plan does not have to share in the costs of the participant's lawsuit if the plan provisions expressly state that the plan recovers first, without regard to attorneys' fees that must be paid.
Employers will want to review their plan language in light of this decision to determine the extent to which the plan expects to be reimbursed from these types of recoveries and the extent to which the plan will pay a portion of the costs of that recovery.

Principles of English Stress by Luigi Burzio
Book DescriptionLuigi Burzio's Principles of English Stress challenges many of the assumptions that have underpinned the generative description of English stress and more generally 'standard' metrical theory. Central to Burzio's analysis is a novel typology of metrical constituents that includes ternary feet and excludes monosyllabic feet. The analysis is essentially nonderivational in character: principles of well-formedness check for the presence of stress and weight in the output. The principles themselves are organized into a hierarchy consisting of a hardcore-controlling foot form that in cases of conflict may override principles of metrical consistency and alignment of edges. The interplay among these competing principles accounts for the cyclic effects of the standard theory. A special role is accorded phonetically null syllables that analyse hidden metrical structure to preserve a simple foot inventory and sharply curtail the standard theory's extrametricality.

Click HERE for the movie review. Below is a review of the soundtrack.
Two of the big films awaiting release - once the dry spell of the ongoing Cricket World Cup passes - are both Abhishek Bachchan starrers, and incidentally also action thrillers. The first is Game, directed by Abhinay Deo, and the second is Dum Maaro Dum (DMD), directed by Rohan Sippy. Here are music reviews of both films; Game is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy (S-E-L) while DMD is a Pritam enterprise. Both, unfortunately, end up being underwhelming albums overall despite select strong tracks in each. Game
The album kicks off with It's a Game, a track that will most probably be used in the opening or closing credits of the film. Sung by Vishal Dadlani, it's a strong start to the album. Dadlani's deep vocals and S-E-L's intense and mysterious tune make it an apt theme song for a thriller. It also reminds of 'Main Hoon Don' from Don: The Chase Begins Again, also a S-E-L composition. The Reprise by Sunitha Sarathi is just as good. It's mixed differently, a slower tempo, and Sarathi gives it the right amount of suspense and sensuality.
Maine Yeh Kab Socha Tha has a very "flashback sound" to it, i.e. I can guess with some certainty that it will be used in a flashback in the film. For one, it opens with an evocative piano tune, and then slowly builds into a rather typical S-E-L ballad, complete with an English refrain. Towards the end, it goes into a more serious orchestral mood, again indicating that it'll be used to tell a love story in flashback. However, vocals by Anusha Mani, Loy Mendonsa and Shaan make it just above average despite its predictability.
With the next track, Mehki Mehki, the album sadly slips further into the ordinary. The music is an odd mix of middle-eastern, salsa and jazz influences, but surprisingly offers nothing new or exciting with the sound, except the intriguing guitar and piano interludes in the midde. With powerful singers such as Shreya Goshal and Kshitij Wagh, a somewhat lethargic tune detracts from the overall experience. The Remix doesn't get any better, either.
The last song of this short album is Kaun Hai Ajnabi, sung by K.K and Aditi Singh Sharma. S-E-L inject their usual peppiness into this track with the singers providing ample mood. It bears the trademark mystery thriller sound that is associated with a film such as this, but doesn't rise beyond that. It's not a bad track, but also doesn't have the repeat value or 'wow' factor of the thrilling song it could have been, much like the title track of this album.
Listen to the songs of Game here.
Dum Maaro Dum
When you decide to compose a new version a timeless classic of a song – that too one with a fiercely loyal cult following – you're already playing with fire. Pritam does just that with Mit Jaaye Ghum, a rehash of the R.D.Burman classic 'Dum Maaro Dum.' The original was already ahead of its time so the team here pushes the boundaries in their own way. Pritam brings in Anushka Manchanda for the vocals and makes the song a heavily synthesized techno track. Manchanda's vocals are feisty but the lyrics border on crude, making the song's new avatar an acquired taste. The best part of the song is still the hypnotic chorus, the Burman melody that makes the original unforgettable. This version, however, will be quite the nightclub hit.
Te Amo, sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Ash King, is designed to be a Portuguese-influenced love song (in line with the film's setting in Goa). Unfortunately, it's also a pretty listless track. The Remix version is about the same. The Reprise, sung by Mohit Chauhan, is better by a margin, if only because of the simple acoustic guitar tune.
The best track in the album is Jiyein Kyun, crooned by Papon. It's a soft rock ballad about heartbreak, and very reminiscent of the music of Life in A Metro (one of Pritam's best). The music is typical of Pritam's rock ballads but it's Papon who adds a very refreshing touch to it with his vocals, exhibiting quite a range and making it the right emotional experience for the mood.
Singer Zubin Garg's dynamic and forceful voice (as heard in 'Ya Ali' in Gangster) is wasted in an extremely ordinary rock ballad in Jaana Hai. The song doesn't offer much novelty in lyrics or music, with Garg's passionate voice being the only aspect to this song that warrants one listen.
The film's lead actor, Abhishek Bachchan, gets behind the mic for a rap song, much like the hit 'Right Here, Right Now' from Bluffmaster, his last collaboration with director Rohan Sippy. Thayn Thayn has Bachchan along with Earl and Ayush Phukan in a rap song designed to be ultra-cool and with ample socio-political commentary. Luckily, the track lives up to Bachchan's last outing as rapper, proving to be just as catchy.

Anne Goodpasture was a career CIA officer who served in 1963 as the top aide to Winston Scott, the longtime chief of the agency's station in Mexico City. She also worked closely with David Phillips.
When the CIA's photo and audio surveillance monitors picked up on the curious actions of a man identifying himself as "Lee Oswald" in September and October 1963, the reports were sent to Goodpasture. Thus Goodpasture became acquainted with Oswald's political views, personal history and contacts seven weeks before JFK was killed.
When first questioned by JFK investigators in the 1970s, Goodpasture denied that the Mexico City station had tapes of Oswald's phone calls. She later changed her story and admitted, under oath, her role in disseminating the tapes after the assassination .
According to the National Archives online JFK data base , the CIA has a 286-page file of Goodpasture's operational activities that has never been made public.
5. Howard Hunt's operational files
E. Howard Hunt by www.jfkfacts.org
E. Howard Hunt was a career CIA officer known for his prolific prose and conservative politics. In 1961, he was a leader of the CIA's failed effort to invade Cuba at the Bay of Pigs. Embittered by what he regarded as JFK's failure to support the invasion, Hunt wrote a book "Give Us This Day," which castigated JFK's Cuba policy as "shame-faced."
In 1963 he worked at CIA headquarters in Washington. He was close to David Phillips.
Hunt became famous in 1972 when he was arrested for running a burglary team breaking into the offices of the Democratic Party in the Watergate office complex in Washington. Hunt and the burglars were paid and apparently directed by President Richard Nixon and his aides. In the resulting scandal, Hunt all but blackmailed the CIA by threatening to talk in court about what he described as "numerous highly Illegal conspiracies" in which he had participated.
Later in life Hunt made cryptic remarks about a possible CIA plot to kill JFK in 1963 that he called "the Big Event." Hunt's comments can be seen and heard on YouTube , Hunt was convicted burglar and a scoundrel so his testimony has to be handled with care.
Was Hunt involved in a JFK conspiracy?
The question cannot be answered definitively because the CIA retains six files containing 332 pages of material on Hunt, according to the National Archives' online JFK data base.
6. The files of David Sanchez Morales
David Morales by www.jfkfacts.org
David Morales was a career CIA officer who served as the chief
of operations at the CIA's Miami station in 1963 where he worked
with David Phillips and Howard Hunt. He later served in Laos and
Vietnam where he gained a reputation as a skillful and deadly
In retirement, Morales did not often speak of his CIA exploits but when a friend referred to Kennedy's assassination, he reportedly said, "We took care of that son of a b*tch, didn't we?"
