I was bored and wanted to get out of my comfort zone, so I decided to play with my Mehron palettes, to create a simple leopard look you ladies you can do for Halloween. I did it superfast so of course you can cater it to your liking, make it neater, etc. Especially since some costumes cost an arm and a leg nowadays, or if you really don't feel like dressing up, you can quickly whip this up...AND it's totally work safe! LOL. You can also customize it to your preference(make it sexier or scarier), I just created the basis for the look so feel free to add your own accessories, outfit, etc. I was gonna make the nose bigger (using more black) and I forgot!
I will be doing more Halloween looks so stay tuned!
What I used:
- Mehron "Tropical" Palette
- Halloween White Face Paint
- Halloween Black Crayon
- Revlon Liquid Eyeliner
- Fangs (optional)
- Mehron "Tropical" Palette: Mix of yellow and coral color to create the color of the face, dabbed it on with a sponge, let dry.
- Using white face paint (or similar), create the area around the eyes and mouth, let it dry.
- Using the Halloween black crayon, create the nose and mouth area.
- Using the black liquid eyeliner, create the "whiskers" and "spots".
- Apply eyeliner and mascara
- Using the brown color in the Mehron "Pastel" palette and a concealer brush, create the "leopard spots" on your face, then with black eyeliner create the border of the spot.
Apply black lipstick, eyeliner and, mascara...

this looks cool, too bad we won't be celebrating Halloween here. btw, i cant help but wonder, how to erase the paint if we accidentally draw it wrong?
- October 22, 2008 at 2:00 AM
- Vanessa said...
Hi Sloppy, it's a bit tricky but it can be done, since it's water based you can remove a few layers and reapply, or simply just add a few more layers. For more intricate parts (such as the mouth area) it was all liquid eyeliner which is easy to remove, and you can just apply more paint, let dry, then reapply the liquid eyeliner.

I'd love to see more of your halloween looks. I'm not sure what I want to be this year. Probably something slutty and generic as usual. =P I think I might by some of that Mehron makeup.

Riverbed Technology has announced new developer tools aligned towards performance acceleration. A new programmable infrastructure capability extends the interfaces available in the firm's application performance software.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
- Mobile Content Management: What You Really Need to Know
- New Technologies to Optimize Mobile Financial Services
The promise is one of "better visibility and control" through a custom IT portal with automated provisioning and management within a software-defined datacenter. There is also intelligent closed-loop performance remediation here.
President of Riverbed Products Group Eric Wolford says that core to his firm's new developer tools is a product called FlyScript. "This enables integration and automation within the Riverbed performance platform, as well as with third-party tools and customers' proprietary software.
NOTE: Riverbed FlyScript developer tools are a set of programmability resources that allow for a broad range of applications for the Riverbed performance platform, such as scripting, automation, and building custom rules and views. Product-specific APIs provide access to configuration and reporting via HTTP or HTTPS. The APIs allow developers of custom applications to access raw data and directly configure appliances.
The company invites developers, programmers, and operators to join Riverbed Splash, an online community where users can learn more about using FlyScript to get better performance, control, and scale for their applications. Riverbed Splash also features best practices regarding configuring, deploying, and managing Riverbed products.
"In an effort to create a more dynamic and responsive IT environment, organizations are increasingly deploying new virtualization technologies and software-defined architectures. To extract the full value of these flexible environments, IT is also exploring how to customize and program these environments to best serve the unique needs of their business," said Bob Laliberte at Enterprise Strategy Group. "Riverbed's FlyScript developer toolkit enables IT to quickly create programmable infrastructures without requiring extensive training or experience, and accelerates the time to deploy a customized solution."
The introduction of FlyScript developer tools builds on the scripting and customization capabilities of Riverbed Stingray Traffic Manager for building custom functionality or implementing traffic management policies that are unique to an application. Adding to these capabilities, FlyScript developer tools now offer that programmability within the broader development and operations lifecycle.
As part of FlyScript developer tools, Riverbed introduced REST APIs for the Riverbed performance platform solutions, including Cascade Shark, Cascade Profiler, and Stingray Traffic Manager.
These REST APIs give developers a supported way to access raw data and manage the configuration of Riverbed solutions in an industry standard web service design model.
To simplify the coding process for casual coders and application programmers, Riverbed introduced the Python Software Development Kit (SDK), built on top of fully documented and supported REST APIs to develop custom modules and applications.

"TWIN" Puts On A Brand New Face
Panelist Greg Biffle normally spends a significant amount of time on This Week in NASCAR trying to finish a sentence. The enthusiastic and overbearing Michael Waltrip has struggled this season to manage the transition between working with Chad Knaus and Biffle.
On this Monday, Waltrip changed his tune. From the drop of the green flag by host Steve Byrnes, Waltrip was silent when he was supposed to be silent. The good news was that he still brought the positive parts of his unique personality that have served him well on Monday nights for over a decade on SPEED.
What Waltrip found, either on his own or through some encouragement, was that television works much better when everyone on the program is respected. Biffle has been one of the most patient men on NASCAR TV this season. Coming off an exciting program with Chad Knaus, Waltrip would find that Biffle was easy to domninate and that is normally exactly what happened.
Let's give some credit to Biffle, he is not a natural showman like Waltrip or a trained TV veteran like Byrnes. It has been a struggle for Biffle to get to the point where he is right now on TV and viewers have been able to watch him along the way. On this night, he was informative and interesting with his well-placed comments.
Without having to wrestle Waltrip, Byrnes hosted a fast-paced program and TWIN showed the potential it really has with this combination of host and panelists. Certainly, a third voice on the panel that had a slightly different perspective than a current driver or crew chief would be an improvement. But, what viewers got was good.
When Knaus is on the show, the combination of the analytical crew chief and the spontaneous Waltrip simply makes for good TV. The challenge for the NASCAR Media Group production team was to define what to do with Biffle. They finally seemed to have solved that problem.
Late in the show, Byrnes revealed that Jimmy Spencer will be sitting in for Waltrip next week with Chad Knaus on the panel. That should make things even more interesting. Waltrip is on the way to Italy after Richmond on a trip for SPEED.
TWIN was finally the enjoyable hour of NASCAR information and entertainment that many of us thought it could be.

I noticed right off the bat that MW was unusually quiet. I couldn't believe that Biffle was actually able to finish multiple sentences without being interrupted. I'm thinking MW was just off camera biting his tongue to prevent putting his two cents in. Anyway, it was a noticeable improvement to the show no matter how MW got the message.
Next week's show should be interesting with Spencer. He's always good for a rumor or two.
- September 7, 2009 at 9:38 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
There has to be a reason it is Spencer with all the other drivers in town.
Wonder if this is an audition?
- September 7, 2009 at 9:40 PM
- kbaskins said...
I don't usually watch TWIN because I find Mikey overbearing and rude. However, tonight was a study in how he can be fun and effective. I haven't been watching TWIN because I couldn't stand Mikey's antics any more. Tonight was a pleasant surprise. I may even tune in again in two weeks when he returns from his trip.
I'm not so sure about next week, though. I'm no more of a Jimmy Spencer fan than I am Michael Waltrip. The only worse substitution would be Kenny Wallace. My vote would have been Kenny Schrader or Kyle Petty. Johnny Benson would have been OK, but he's a lot like Chad Knaus, so the show wouldn't have been terribly dynamic.

First time I've watched TWIN in a long time. Great to hear Biffle talk. Waltrip wasn't annoying, liked his throw-away line about the thickness of a penny when Biffle was talking about bump stops.
Can't say I share the glee about Spencer but at least it isn't Kenny Wallace.

A very enjoyable show. Greg is a thoughtful, well-spoken driver --- when Mikey gives him a chance. LOL
Next week could be "veerry interesting" with Spencer and Knaus.

Slow start IMO. TWIN showed 17 in the fence,48 and 18 sliding, and 2/43 wrecking 3x to open the show. We get it. Of all the highlights, they had to use the same examples 3x? And for the TWIN prep crew not to know what officially happened to the 99 18 hours after the end of the race? Byrnes and teammate Biff both had to guess - not good. But I do agree Biff's contributions were better tonight - they even threw the camera to him coming out of a video highlight. Pretty cool to boot.

I usually watch TWiN while doing something else - like balancing the checkbook. Nothing too strenuous. Just to tone down the Mikey overload. Tonight was very different & pleasantly so. Da Biff was very good to listen to, and he has gotten much more "comfy" being on air with a much calmer MW, and it was a good show with "flow" - not sure if thats a tech TV term but its the only way I can think of to describe it.
I really liked the hot laps bit towards the end, good questions were used.
About the Jimmy Spencer thing... oh please don't let him talk down at us fans. Its the only thing he does that drives me over the edge. Chads' gonna have night next week, wonder if the Danica will be mentioned. I would have preferred to have Johnny B or Kenny S. but this could be interesting. Really think some one is leaving?
- September 7, 2009 at 11:30 PM
- Richard in N.C. said...
Greg B is one of the rotating guests on PRN's Monday night call-in radio show and it appears to me he has become more savvy in public. I believe crew chiefs do bring a perspective that drivers do not - strategy, etc. - and that both Monday shows are improved when there is at least 1 crew chief on the panel.

My husband watched the whole show with me...and that is saying something right there. I haven't watched for a while, but saw JD's comment about Mikey announcing something so I got sucked in :-)
Glad I did. Agree about the repition of the same highlights.
Greg was much better. Did notice he was a bit tense before Steve mentioned it. Can't imagine the pressure these guys are under to make the chase.
Also noticed Mikey pursing his lips at one point...pretty funny. Either they are reading this blog or they got tired of Mikey's antics.
Jimmy Spencer...Nooooooooooo!

I think Spencer will be good.

I watched the beginning of the show and it was more serious without Mikey talking over everyone. Unfortunately, Mikey poisoned the water and I can no longer watch or listen to him. Anytime I hear him, I hit the mute button. Twin certainly is searching for a niche in Nascar reporting. I'd love to see the ratings over the past five years.

Great show for a change. I noticed Waltrip was less spastic than normal and that made the show much better. I just figured he'd taken his Ritalin before the show but it would be nice if that was the new and improved Waltrip.

Won't be watching next week with Spencer. Even if I don't like a driver or TV personality I usually try to give them a chance but I just can't stomach Spencer.

Well darn! Now I wish I hadn't cancelled the recording of TWIN. I just wasn't in the mood to stomach Mikey's shilling for the sponsors and constantly running his yap over everyone.
Jimmy Spencer??? Oh geez! I might as well cancel recording the series for good. I skip through him and Kenny "we're race car drivers" Wallace on Race Day, and didn't bother watching Victory Lane because of them.

I was ready to change the channel
when SB mentioned the closeness in
points and Mikey responded with
his Reutiman/Aarons ad response of
the 99's position. I didn't and was pleased at the flow of the show. I liked Biffle's input which
we've haven't previously been able
to enjoy. He could grow into a
Schrader if given a chance to grow.
I can't believe they think Spencer
can add anything to the program. His babble will downgrade the show.

Finally! MW let the show "speak"!! Greg, as I have said before, is informative and knowledgeable when he is allowed to show it. Good info as well as give & take from all three.
Jimmy Spencer??????????????? Did I hear that (or maybe have missed the show) that Kyle Petty was sitting in for Jimmy on RaceDay? Get Kyle to do TWIN w/Chad.
- September 8, 2009 at 9:32 AM
- DL said...
TWIN good this week. MW, better. Biff looked nervous, as they were talking about the Chase finale, but did good otherwise. Not sure why Spencer is coming in. I spent years disliking JS the driver, but once he got the on air gig, he grew on me. It'll be interesting with him and Chad.

- Kahnefan98 said...
Love Spencer don't get me wrong... but TWIN is not the place for him. I mean picture that.... you know Jimmys personality and TWIN just won't work with that. He's loud and energetic and TWIN is a laid back type thing. With occasional laughs.
Will be interesting to see this...
- September 8, 2009 at 2:08 PM

Jimmy Spencer & Kenny Wallace are truly the terrible twosome. Spencer is just too annoying & Wallace always seems like a guy who forgot to take his medication that morning.
Love TWiN, but won't watch with Spencer on it.

Spencer turns my stomach. He is one of the few drivers I ever booed, and I can't even remember what he had done!
Before I got HD, people said that the picture was so clear that you could see nose hairs on it. Well, I haven't seen Jimmy's nose hairs, but his other physical flaws only add to the dumb things that come out of his mouth. I won't be watching TWIN next week, will read about it here.
- September 8, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- Snafam said...
First, you pump me up about Mikey actually letting Biff speak. Then you shoot me down about saying Spencer will be on next week. I have tuned out most of RaceDay because of him. While it is on, I usually only pay attention when drivers are being interviewed. Spencer just annoys me, or I would pay more attention to Raceday. Now, I don't need to watch TWIN either!

Jimmy Spencer on TWIN?? That would be the shows downfall. Mr Excitement would be looked at as being Mr Excrement, because he is full of himself and 'it'!
Someone needs to ask him about how many toupees he owns!

You know what that show honestly needs to try, a spotter. The guys know what every car on the track is doing about every second of the race.
I think it would bring an interesting point of view into the show.
Ive had my fill of Spencer for the year, but will give it a shot next week.
- September 8, 2009 at 3:45 PM
- GinaV24 said...
OK, so good news, bad news. Someone told Mikey to "shut up", thank goodness. I only DVR this show any more because I cannot deal with the Mikey mess and then you tell me that Spencer will be on next week. Well, that seals the deal. I won't bother recording it. I have quit watching raceday because of Wallace and Spencer talking down to the fans. "Nascar knows best" is no longer an adequate answer for any host. that's a load of rubbish and I won't waste my time listening to it. We were at Atlanta and never even went near the raceday stage.
If someone can continue to make Mikey stick to being a little less of a shill and stupid, I might start watching the show live again - for now, I'll continue to DVR and fastfoward the show.

Books and Authors
March 9, 1996
to the Seventh Annual
Oklahoma Book Awards
National Cowboy Hall of Fame and Western Heritage Center
Oklahoma City
John Hope Franklin
recipient of the
1996 Arrell Gibson Lifetime Achievement Award
On January 2, 1915, in Rentiesville, Oklahoma, John Hope Franklin was born, the son of
Buck Colbert, an attorney and the first Black judge in Oklahoma district court; and Mollie
(Parker) Franklin. He attended Fisk University, and Harvard University, receiving a Ph.D.
in 1941.
Dr. Franklin is devoted to recovering the ancestral past of Afro-American history, and
to rescuing its own particular progenitors and predecessors from the obscurity that has so
often been their fate. He discovered the joy of the study of history more than 50 years ago
when he was a student at Fisk University in Nashville.
Dr. Franklin is the James B. Duke professor of history emeritus and for seven years was
professor of legal history at Duke University. He has taught at a number of institutions,
including Fisk University, North Carolina Central University, and Howard University. In
1956, he went to Brooklyn College as chairman of the department of history. In 1964, he
joined the faculty of the University of Chicago, serving as chairman of the department of
history from 1967 to 1970. He was the John Matthews Manly Distinguished Service
Professor from 1969 to 1982, when he became emeritus professor there.
Dr. Franklin has written a number of books, including The Emancipation Proclamation, The
Militant South, The Free Negro In North Carolina, Reconstruction After The Civil War, The Color
Line, and A Southern Odyssey: Travelers In The Antebellum North. His Jefferson Lecture in the
Humanities for 1976 was published under the title Racial Equality In America. His George
Washington Williams: A Biography, published in 1985, received the Clarence L. Holte Literary
Prize for that year. A collection of essays covering Franklin's teaching and writing career of
50 years was published early in 1990 entitled Race And History: Selected Essays, 1938-1988.
Perhaps his best known book, From Slavery To Freedom: A History Of Negro Americans, first
published in 1947, has sold more than 2 million copies and is translated to French, German,
Portuguese and Japanese.
In 1978, he was elected to the Oklahoma Hall of Fame, and in the same year was one of
eight Americans cited by Who's Who in America for significant contributions to society. He
has received honorary degrees from more then 105 colleges and universities. Last fall, Dr.
Franklin received the President's Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor.
It is perhaps unfair to call history Dr. Franklin's first love. That honor is reserved for his
wife, Aurelia, whom he met while they were both students at Fisk. She saw great things in
store for the tall studious young man who would become her husband, saying "there was
just something special about him." Mrs. Franklin is a retired librarian.
Dr. Franklin's primary hobby is raising orchids. He has a custom-built green house at his
home in Durham, North Carolina. More than 1,000 orchid plants are part of his collection.

Fun and health will go hand-in-hand at the Delaware Children's Museum this March, as children learn how to have fun while keeping their bodies fit and healthy.
Fun and health will go hand-in-hand at the Delaware Children's Museum this March, as children learn how to have fun while keeping their bodies fit and healthy. And as spring approaches, it's the perfect time to explore ways to stay active indoors and out.
From this Saturday, through April, children can play and exercise their way through the "DCM Gym" with different stations that will put their strength, agility, and other skills to the test. Exploring the power of their bodies, kids will jump, stretch, tumble, and skip through fun exercises designed just for them.
On Saturday March 19, join in on the fun and learning in the DCM's "Junior Engineers" series, led by high school students in The Charter School of Wilmington's "Science Ambassadors" program. This month, aspiring engineers-in-training can try their hand at building a sea-worthy vessel out of LEGO bricks and K'NEX and testing if she floats.
Continuing the month-long focus on a fun and healthy lifestyle, parents can join in for "Growing Together," a new monthly seminar series presented by Nemours, on March 20. This month's topic will focus on "Rainy Day Play", where parents will get tips about how to keep their children active (even when the rain keeps them indoors), as well as how to make healthy snacks as a family.
On March 23, families can join for a special "HEALTHY Hour" with the Junior League of Wilmington. Children will learn how to portion a nutritious meal, make their own healthy trail mix, and get their bodies moving in a scooter race and obstacle course!
On March 28, families can exercise their ears and lungs during a special performance of "Pee Wee Glee Club: The Obertones." Joining for the second year in a row, this all-male a capella group from Oberlin College, OH, will perform an interactive set that is sure to get you on your feet. After the performance, The Obertones will teach some beat-boxing tips and tricks, and they'll also lead everyone in a big-group, a capella sing-a-long.
All programs during normal hours are free with admission, unless otherwise specified. For more information visit the DCM.

POETRY DISPATCH No. 381 | August 31, 2012
Editor's Note: Access, accountability, attention… What is it about those writers who speak to us and those to whom we turn a deaf ear…because those who speak to us are what they write, are what we need to know (more) about ourselves? Only they open that door. Invite us immediately into their home, their heart, their life.
Paging through another new book by Ronald Baatz, I come across:
"I cannot read Williams tonight, but I can read Para." I'm hooked immediately, knowing Williams, knowing Para…wondering where the hell is Baatz going with that line? With Para in particular? "Williams seems like a stranger while Para is like/a friend who has come to drink and spend the night." Well, you gotta love that. … "But tonight I want to listen to Parra talk about being an old man./… "Should an old man living alone/have a dog?/Should the dog be old also? Would it be better if/the dog were to die first?…"
This is his BIG book (maybe Baatz's biggest). 155 pages, New and Selected Poems. On the upper left-hand corner of very last page sits a tiny, untitled, final poem all by itself:
Orange peels-
the shadows of them
as I remember
the shadows of them
curling in childhood.
"curling" …brilliant. No poem without it.
Welcome (back) to Baatz's world. A world of curling orange peels, of parents shuffling into the surrealism of age (the poet but a few steps behind)…of loneliness, birds, dogs, sheep, friends, world famous writers, artists, musicians who sustain a poet's own words, women who come and go like Michelangelo…
Oh, hell. Open the door yourself. I'm still stuck in Baatz's desert where I always thought I would find myself at the very end. — Norbert Blei
I cannot live here when I am old.
It is too cold for many months out of the year.
As it is, I am having a rough time dealing with
the cold now. When I am old I want to live
in the desert. I suppose this is a common goal
for people who live in the cold. Although, thankfully,
this past winter was a blessing, so unbelievably mild was it.
The morning newspaper explains why
there is such an abundance of yellowjackets.
I was stung recently. I was sitting on the green lawn chair
at the back of the house, minding my own business, reading,
when suddenly I felt an itch on my leg. As I scratched this itch,
one of these yellowjackets let me have it. It had managed to crawl
up my leg, underneath my pants. After stinging me
it fell to the ground and walked away; for some reason not flying,
perhaps too exhausted from having stung me.
My first instinct was to kill it; instead I just moved away from it.
I will leave these heavenly purple mountains to the bugs and the bears
and whatever else wants to claim them as their own.
I do not want to be exposed to such cold when I am old.
I want to bake in the sun. I want to be like a dried fig.
If I had money, then living here would not be such a hardship.
I'd be able to defend myself from the cold with money.
But there is none, and there appears to be nothing I can do
to rectify this problem. I live where the winters are harsh and
I have no way of keeping myself warm. I am profoundly disappointed
in myself. I will not even have the money necessary to move
to the desert when the time comes. So why do I even talk about it,
dream about it. I have been pathetic at creating a decent income.
I will die in this lousy cold. I can see it all now: when I die
others will come to take my body away, my belongings.
They will make a thorough search of my room for money
that I might have hidden away, and they will find not a dime.
Then they will unearth thousands
of poems, and they will know why.
I find it is a good time in my life to be reading the autobiography
of Gabriel Garcia Marquez. When Marquez was a child he was
able to gain the attention of adults by telling stories in which he
greatly distorted the details. As an adult he carried this
lovely habit into the writing of his books, even when it came time
to tell the story of his life. The beautiful, magical occurrences that
take place in this telling make it easier for me to accept the horrors
of Alzheimer's that plague my father. His twisted, misshapen
memories, his hallucinations, his forgetting from one moment
to the next, his face contorting with fear; all this seems slightly more
bearable to me when I feel like a fish at the bottom of the sea
looking up at the stars crying in their infancy. Unfortunately,
Marquez is of no help whatsoever to my mother. His disease
might be the death of her before it is the death
of him. The amount of patience needed to interact with my father
is almost too much to ask of a person. Yesterday
she ended up in the bank crying to a teller. Crying
in public is becoming more and more frequent for her.
She doesn't know from one day to the next what awaits her.
It's questionable whether we will have a birthday party
for him this summer. Would he be able to play the role
of a birthday person with even a stitch of understanding
and joyfulness? Would he recognize who came to the party to
celebrate his being ninety years old? Would everyone
appear as a dangerous stranger? Would the gathering
cause him to be capsized in dark bewilderment and sorrow? But,
he has always said that he wanted to live to be one hundred.
Now this miraculous event might indeed come to pass, at
least in his head, since when he last spoke of the subject he
proclaimed that he will be one hundred on his next birthday. And
if he recognizes not a soul at the party, then it will no doubt
feel to him as though he has lived "a hundred years of solitude."
I meet my mother at the lawyer's office in town.
We thought it best to talk about my being given
health care proxy and power of attorney for
my father without him initially being present.
The lawyer's on Main Street. He has new shoes.
He is a very quiet and accommodating man with overly
bushy eyebrows that might crawl off
his forehead at any second. His secretary, the older one,
performs all the small talk about the weather.
The younger is obsessed with eating a bowl of frosted flakes.
We are in there for a very long half an hour,
charged one hundred dollars which I find cheap. Afterwards,
I suggest to my mother that we have coffee together,
but she says she should get back to the house as soon
as possible since my father is being looked after by a neighbor.
So, crossing the street, I walk her to her car. She holds
onto my hand. Her hand is the hand of a woman in her eighties.
It is diminished and bony but still capable of being firm.
She was an exceptionally beautiful woman. Still is. I was always
so proud of the fact, when I was a kid, of just how beautiful
my mother was. Naturally enough, I could never understand how
my father had managed to actually have this woman in his life.
I lived with the suspicions that he could read such thoughts in
my eyes. But, I'm well aware of the fact that their love endures
on a level I may never know. I feel like weeping right here
in the street. I help her into her car. She makes a u-turn and
drives off in the direction rain is coming from. I stand there,
rooted in front of a closed movie theater in a decaying town
that lies between a river and a creek. It is a morning in April.
At some point Alzheimer's could force us to put my father in
a nursing home. I don't talk to my mother about this too much.
We know the possibility exists. I dread the day when
I'll be responsible for separating them. It will be like
tearing the wings off a bird and throwing them up in the air and
expecting them to fly.
There's a sadness to it, of course, my becoming more
and more isolated from the world. I remember, years ago,
when I was living at the motel, there was this woman who
used to come and go, sometimes staying for months at a time.
Every so often I'd go over to her room, sit around, and talk with her.
The room would smell from clove cigarettes and dirty wash.
Over the lampshades pieces of clothing were draped, to bring
the light down to the most remarkable dimness. This light
never failed to charm and attract me, as a moth would be
attracted to a bright light (although, I suppose moths are
drawn to dim light also). Anyway, I find myself steadily
becoming increasingly like this woman, and it's not always
the most comfortable realization. Although, I cannot say
that I am living with dirty wash. No, this I cannot admit to.
If anything, I'm fanatical about washing clothes. My
clothing has worn thin, not from my wearing it but from
the continuous washings. But, my god, like this woman
I'm letting the house go dark. She died at the motel, from cancer.
Some nights I'd see her crossing the parking lot, meager flesh
on her bones, and she'd knock on my door and she'd ask me
to play Mozart on my stereo set. She loved Mozart.
In her youth she had been a very promising violist, but
injury and shock from a fire had made her a ghost
of her old talent, her old self. I used to feed her also,
the miniscule amount she was capable of eating.
She loved sharing a thin sandwich as much as
she loved Mozart. I told her it takes
a lot of solitude to write a poem.
She told me it takes a lot of solitude
to die.

|You like-a the gel? I like-a the gel.
In his recent excellent book, Just Ride, Grant Petersen has a chapter called "Gloves: the least necessary accessory." Now, he truly knows more in his little toe about bicycles and riding than I do in my whole body, but sometimes I like riding with gloves. Sometimes they do not seem like a needless affectation to me, a spurious accessory foisted on an unsuspecting bicycling public by corporate-funded bike racers. So I reflected on the facts of my usage of them, and, as always, will try to let them speak for themselves.
What are gloves (allegedly) good for?
cold weather, accident protection, comfort, sweat drip removal
Do they actually accomplish these?
Cold weather: check, but I don't experience that very often
Accident protection? A couple times when I crashed, they performed very well in protecting my hands and palms, particularly in a mountain bike crash on gravel, when many other parts of me fared much worse.
Do I use ever them:
for commuting? No, never
for grocery-getting? No, never
coffeeneuring? No, never
city road rides? Usually, for the longer ones, anyway, I think the ride is more comfortable
mountain biking? Always
Do I wash them? Once in a while, yes. Usually when the salt and grime becomes visible.
Are there other less necessary bicycle accessories? Surely!
What about: spoke cards? handlebar tassels? pie plates? lawyer lips?

Rolla team takes No. 1 spot in state robotics challenge
Two days after a Rolla student robotics team was named the state champions, one of its members still cannot believe it.
"We hoped we were going to win, and we were trying as hard as we could," said Aysen Malone, a Rolla High School student and member of Team 4964 also known as the Rolla Patriots. "It was really exciting. It's a pretty nice experience, and I'm still in disbelief."
For a video of the team reacting to the win, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xyTR6iEbuSE
The Patriots was one of two Rolla teams — the other was Team 6168 known as the Maniacal Mechanics, which placed seventh in the state — that competed against more than 30 teams at the FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC), a statewide robotics competition, Saturday on the Missouri University of Science and Technology campus.
FIRST means "For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology."
Saturday's competition marked the second year in a row that the Patriots competed in the state competition and the team has only been in existence for two years.
"I feel pretty good," said Jacob Pommerenke, a Patriots team member. "We were definitely hoping to win but actually doing so is a really fun experience."
Both Malone and Pommerenke were part of the Patriots team last year and Malone said having that previous experience helped them this year.
The team even saw improvement as it competed in regional competitions this school year.
"At the beginning of our first competition, we looked at what other teams were doing and how their robots worked, and then we took some of their ideas and improved our robot with it," Pommerenke said. "Practice does make a major difference."
Team members also said they learned to prepare for failure before it happens.
This year's challenge called "Ring It Up!" had teams try to score more points than their opponents by placing plastic rings onto pegs on a rack that looks like a tic-tac-toe board.
Pommerenke noted that the Patriots did not communicate as much with the other teams during last year's competition, but this year, "we had team members specifically scouting out other teams for the alliance stage and just general communications, seeing if they needed help or if they could help us."
Team member Morgan Long said, "There were no real hard feelings ... until the last rounds when the stakes were higher."
During the Patriots' first year, members not only made it to the state contest, but also to the world championship.
Last year, judges awarded the Patriots team with the second-place Inspire Award, which came with an automatic bid to the world championship. The Inspire Award is given to the team that truly embodies the challenge of the FTC program and is chosen by the judges as having best represented a role model FIRST Tech Challenge team.
This year, the team will compete again in the world championship held in St. Louis again. This year's event is scheduled for April 27-30 at the Edward Jones Dome.
Long explained that there are two parts to the state competition: "Half of it is robots competing against each other and that has a winner based on points and how well you perform and there is a panel of judges for the other half," he said.
"Last year, we made it (to the world championship) with the judges choosing us and here we made it by performing," Long said.
As the team prepares for this year's world championships, they will focus on practicing driving their robot.
Additionally, the team is reaching out to businesses for sponsorship opportunities to help with travel and other expenses for the world championship. Businesses interested in helping sponsor the team can contact RHS teacher Leigh Ann Tumbrink at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Malone said the team is already starting to work about next year's design for its robot.

SPEED's "Tradin' Paint" Suddenly Very Calm
There was a lot of anticipation before the Saturday edition of Tradin' Paint took to the air on SPEED. Host John Roberts had regular panelist Kyle Petty alongside and USA Today NASCAR Reporter Nate Ryan as the media guest.
It did not take Kyle Petty long to get cranked-up a bit about the Roush Racing penalties on the 99 team. Ryan offered that the penalties were right along the lines that NASCAR has followed since the COT was introduced.
Petty agreed, and decided that the point in question was really that "intent" had been the excuse offered by the Roush organization. "Intent is not in the rule book," said Petty. "Intent is not anything, take it and wipe your rear end with it."
Ryan was the USA Today reporter who highly publicized the comments of Lee White, now with the Toyota organization. Roberts made Ryan defend his story and White's comments, which he did by slipping behind the "free speech" excuse. Petty responded that White should have been questioned about why he made these comments.
"Lee White has no dog in that fight," said Petty. He continued to question why Ryan chose to use this type of comment in a national publication. Ryan was reminded that the Ford Racing management did not attack Michael Waltrip Racing and their engine additive issues one year ago in Daytona. The point was well made.
Changing the subject, Ryan responded to the Robby Gordon appeal with suggestions that the NASCAR appeal system is murky at best. Petty's point was that a mistake is a mistake, and Gordon's issue did not even merit the original penalty.
The remainder of the show featured polite conversation on topics that the Producer had chosen to offer the panelists. This season, that has been one of the problems with this program. It has gotten polite.
SPEED switched the positions of the panelists this season, which features the host in the middle and the other two panelists sitting awkwardly at the two ends of the main desk. As Jenna Fryer from the AP asked, "where do you put your legs?" It simply has not worked.
Another new wrinkle is trying to put the two panelist in a video effect featuring two boxes side-by-side. The pace of the show and the willingness of John Roberts to jump-in quickly makes this almost impossible. It might work for Larry King Live, but not for Tradin' Paint.
Roberts is the key to this program, and his role has to be defined. If this show is going to cream-puff NASCAR issues, it will join Pit Bulls on the cancelled shelf. Roberts let Ryan off-the-hook on why he chose to put a big sensationalized story in USA Today that was just as suspect as the Roush explanations it addressed.
Taped in front of a small crowd in the cold, this edition of Tradin' Paint was not exactly what the doctor ordered on a weekend packed with high-profile NASCAR news. Last season, after Petty joined the show, Tradin' Paint was on the "can't miss" list all year long.
This season, the SPEED executives need to do a little work on the set, the format and the topics to get this TV series back on-track. As the only show where non-TV media personalities are featured, it plays a vital role in exposing to the TV audience a lot of viewpoints that are not put forward by the full-time NASCAR TV announcers. It would be a shame if it faded away.

I am so glad you mentioned two things I "hate" about this season
1. The bizarre desks where we are forced to see profiles of the guest and Kyle at opposite ends of the table. Looks HORRIBLE on television, SPEED.
2. I loathe and detest the SPLIT SCREEN use for Kyle and Ryan. As you said that works for CNN or FOX yak shows but NOT TRADING PAINT.
I don't miss Kyle NOT going ballistic but this show is just odd to me this year. I think half the problem is the new table. Tonight Ryan kept LEANING FORWARD over the table and I wanted to yell "Sit up straight".
LOOKS are everything to the TV viewer on a talk show. Much like I do not like the "high chairs" on ESPN...looks awkward.
I may try this show one more time but it better get more interesting and LOSE the SPLIT SCREEN habit and the most awkward looking table on tv.

*Hate the new set where you can see the media guest's legs. Jenna was so right about that.
*I think Nate Ryan is one of the best NASCAR reporters out there, though he did look like a little kid with his sneakers dangling on his stool.
*I don't think Ryan's story was sensationalized AT ALL. Saying that it was or pointing out it was in a national publication brings back unpleasant memories of Brian France being upset with Ryan writing at 2006 season end that NASCAR's ratings and attendance had fallen. (In other words, the truth.) Just because he writes for the biggest paper that covers NASCAR doesn't mean what he writes is sensationalized and should be criticized more because more people are exposed to it.
*I thought Kyle's comparison of Carl's situation to M Waltrip's situation was weak. News flash: Mikey had any possible advantage discovered and rectified before the race. Carl won the race with a possible advantage when a Toyota - or a Chevy or a Dodge - could have won the race he participated in. Two different issues that shouldn't be compared.
*Because of the situation, Lee White had every right to comment and Ryan had every right to seek him out. Did White have to comment? No. But think about all the "sensational" comments Jack Roush has made about Toyota the past two years. Did he have to make those comments? Nope. Free speech works both ways.
* I'm disappointed that after all of today talking about the reporters doing a good job and being fair that Ryan writing something like this is accused of being sensational. After all, if Ryan hadn't written what White said, would all of those drivers have been asked later that day by other reporters what they thought and have been so candid? Was it also sensational or slipping behind a free speech excuse when the drivers spoke up? Wasn't the whole point made earlier that the drivers speaking up made SPEED and ESPN look ridiculous?

I wish you had written about "NASCAR Performance." The whole first segment was about the oil tank cover. Chad Knaus showed it at the cutaway car, and said there would be a downforce gain if the cover was off. Chad said he thought the screw might have backed out, but on the cutaway car he showed, it was clear to see there were three holes for three screws.
Bootie Barker said he thought it was a definite advantage yielding maybe 100 pounds of downforce. Bootie explained that every team knows this, and admitted that he had run cars in practice. He hemmed and hawed a bit but then said, he doesn't believe it was an accident. He said that a team of that caliber has so many things they double-check, it's hard to believe that it was an accident.

Anon@11:05, tell us how you really feel. ;) Incidentally, I saw the show and agree with the points you made. Good conclusions.
If it hadn't been for the print media like USATODAY continuing to follow the oil lid Gate reaction late this week, SPEED wouldn't have talked about it more objectively today and NASCAR Now wouldn't be talking about it more objectively tomorrow and Monday. And we wouldn't have seen all the snarky comments from the drivers, which were surprising. I think having one person like the Toyota rep give an opinion so openly makes it easier for others to come out of the woodwork, so to speak, when asked for an opinion. And that's what happened yesterday.
Roush called the Toyota rep an ankle-biting Chihuahua. Not nice. ;) But free speech, I guess. Get those desk chairs back, Tradin' Paint!

Last season, we did not review NASCAR Performance because it was strictly a "tech show" that featured content that was not meant to be editorial or controversial.
The Saturday night show was amazing. What does it mean when the best explanation of the problem all week long on TV comes from a show that is supposed to "talk tech?"
Chad Knaus did in three minutes what two networks could not do in a week. Tim Brewer should be made to watch this show. Love him or hate him, Knaus presented facts and nothing more.
Maybe SPEED will use his clip for Raceday. It would be a smart idea.

"This season, that has been one of the problems with this program. It has gotten polite."
The reason I haven't been watching this year was: I was sick and tired of seeing Kyle Petty yell at people and not be able to carry on a civilized disussion. (I thought the consensus here was that Kyle was too over the top last year.)
If it's gotten polite, then I'll tune in again.
- March 8, 2008 at 11:37 PM
- SophiaZ123 said...
just wanted to clarify, I did NOT like the angry, short-fused Kyle last season at all, either.
But the awkward 'face to face' set up of the desks is ludicrous. Kyle can still have an attitude.
What is the POINT of this stupid new desk? for Roberts to pick up a chair and a whip if Kyle gets out of hand??
I think the show lacks interest because I don't think it addresses the real issues enough.
But I don't miss Kyle's tirades.
The addition of the SPLIT screen and the current set IS enough to keep me from watching.
I'd rather watch NP.

JD, I didn't see Nascar Performance and their story on the oil tank cover but I did see Jeff Hammond show it, with explanations, yesterday during practice. He too showed that there are holes for 3 screws and also showed that the part where 2 of the screws could go does fit in a groove and if the single screw is secure can't come off. So there was some good explanation of it on Speed during the day.
- March 9, 2008 at 8:54 AM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
Knaus made the Hammond thing seem amateurish. I know Jeff had maybe a broader audience, but Knaus was not political, just matter-of-fact and that is how this should have been presented.
I also share the issue of Kyle getting upset, but he worked to contain that and the vast majority of the time, it would up making him look foolish.
What I meant to point out was that the topics being selected by the Producer and the way they are politically correct when presented by Roberts makes things soft.
Nate Ryan should have been called out for his story and asked the reason he wrote it. Is the media on-hand to stir-up trouble as Kyle believes? Or are they on-hand to report the reality of what is going on in a news context?
Ryan's story was just like Angelique Chengelis on Friday's NASCAR Now, one side presented as fact when it was not.

I like having KP and the guest sitting across from each other but the desk itself doesn't work. I noticed that last week because it is especially bad for women who sit with their legs together but evidently even the men can't get close enough to look comfortable. I was also expecting a little more excitement from this show especially when I realized who was the guest. All I can say was that spark wasn't there and I was somewhat disappointed. I've see Kyle go off when it wasn't a topic as big as this one and now calmness prevailed, why I don't know.

It's pretty clear that Kyle Petty would prefer the motorsports media only cover the "happy" topics and just ignore anything he thinks is "negative" about the sport.
That's not repoting, that's cheerleading, and it isn't their job, whether Kyle likes it or not.
But at least he wasn't a jerk like he was last year when anyone disagreed with him.

The NASCAR print media is a powerful bunch. What they report steers the sport in the public eye.
Petty has said he is upset by things being reported that are not true. I have not heard him say things that are not flattering to the sport should be held back.

Bootie Barker didn't pull any punches the slot before, on NASCAR Performance. His take was that was too good a team for that to fall off accidentally.
I agree with you that Trading Paint needs to pick it up if it wants to keep me as a viewer.

Petty claims they're not true.
The writers, as you know, don't fabricate the stories or the quotes. Given KP's displayed temper and anger with stories he simply doesn't like--like the one this week with the Toyota exec quote (he doesn't say it's factually incorrect, he just didn't like it being reported)--I'll trust the writers over him.
He doesn't have to come out and say the words you suggest--his attitude toward stories he doesn't like speaks volumes.

I've been watching Nascar Performance for the past few years and have very much enjoyed it and learned a lot. Chad and Bootie were not having as much fun as they usually do but between the cold and the topic it wasn't a fun day. With Chad's history he could not afford to express his opinion about oops vs intent but he still can explain which he did very well. This is why I think he will be a good choice for TWIN, he can explain very technical things in a way that I can understand. Bootie doesn't have the history issue and can say what he thinks which he does on a regular basis which is one the reasons I like him. He also would be good on TWIN because he also explains things well. Nascar Performance is one the most under-rated Nascar related shows on Speed

NASCAR performance as usual was on their game. This is the first time anyone actually used a visual of the oil tank/lid. Ive been wondering all along why isnt anyone showing the fans what this thing looks like?
In Regard to Tradin Paint...disapointing is the only word I can use to discribe this years show. Set up etc. should be revamped, listen to the fans tradin paint and things will only get better.

I have not heard him say things that are not flattering to the sport should be held back.
But that's the impression you yourself are giving; that the reporter on Trading Paint shouldn't have "stirred up trouble" with his story that you say presents one side (I don't agree, and I read it the morning it was online). It's as if USA Today is supposed to be a NASCAR cheerleader, as posted above, purely because it is influential and widely circulated.
I agree with poster 10:41:
Petty claims they're not true.

I don't understand why Nate Ryan should have been "called out" or why his story is considered sensationalized. Lee White presumably made the comments of his own free will and Ryan reported what he said. Had Ryan not reported those comments, which were news-worthy, then he would have been doing a disservice to his audience. Multiple others including Elliott Sadler and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. echoed White's comments that what the #99 team did was blatant cheating, a performance advantage and something that other teams have tested or tried before. Were those comments also sensationalized? I hope Ryan and others in the motorsports media continue to seek out comments that are actual opinions as opposed to meaningless fluff.

In some people's thinking, I believe that may be the case. I'm a NASCAR fanatic (aren't we all?) and I've got Word files on my laptop where I save all the interesting articles during a season, because a lot of them disappear after a few weeks and aren't on websites anymore. It's also interesting to read them again after the season is over to see what the news was -so much news it's easy to forget.
I saved the USA Today article (11/15/2006) which Brian France disliked, written by Nate Ryan, I thought it was excellent and read it a few times because it talked to so many people (including France and Earnhardt Jr) and covered so many issues.
That article was also memorable because it's the only time I can remember Brian France criticizing a particular article on TV - on RaceDay. Him doing that also got written about. What was interesting is that he didn't say it was inaccurate, he said the article was "done in incredibly bad taste" and "the timing was wrong" because it was written the week of Homestead. Our local and excellent sports columnist in Charlotte, Tom Sorenson, completely mocked France for complaining, wisely pointing out that it's not the reporter's job to save a news article until after the championship is over. (I saved those two articles, too.)
So I do think some people are more sensitive to USA Today writing an alledgedly not-positive article because they want all the NASCAR news in there to be positive -likely because sponsors and such read it. I think USA Today should be treated like every other media, especially when the content is accurate.
PS: interesting quote from Kyle in that USA Today article:
"Some observers, such as third-generation driver Kyle Petty, say the season's length — from February to the Sunday before Thanksgiving — can be interminable. "I'm an idiot, and this is all I've ever done, but my God, 36 freaking races a year? Even I'm not going to tune in every week," Petty says."

I agree about not missing the "angry Kyle"." Because of his behavior the last couple of years when a "bad" story comes out I figure that he's just trying to set himself up for a cushy executive job inside NASCAR once he retires. He's just become such a yes man that it makes sense.

As a journalism major in college, I learned there was a big difference between news and commentary.
That is why I try to make sure to call my content "columns."
Both in NASCAR Now on Friday and in USA Today, only one side of an issue was reported and with lots of commentary presented as news.
Bottom line, it sold papers.

Your statement that USA TODAY presented one side of the Edwards/Roush/Toyota story is your column's opinion. Not fact.
We don't have to accept it as such and some of us won't. I do not agree that the story was commentary presented as news. I do not agree with your opinion.
By the way, I have a master's degree in journalism and worked in the industry as a hard news reporter for a number of years. Many of us in the United States (and abroad) have a journalism background. Having studied journalism doesn't make your opinion into truth, nor does it make your opinions any more valid than those opinions expressed by any of your readers - whether they have a similar background or not.

I liked the show and thought that Nate and Kyle did a good job. They stated their opinions, shared their thoughts and either agreed or disagreed in a professional manner. It was fun to watch.
I do agree with comments about Nate's posture and his shoes, though. It was pretty distracting. And the split screen stuff. That was weird. I'd rather just see all three of them on one screen. And if someone wants to wear comfy shoes that don't really go with the outfit they're wearing, put them under or behind the desk so we can't see it.

Because Ryan wrote that Roush denied that the #99 team did anything intentional and also had comments from Larry McReynolds in which he said there's no way to know if it actually was intentional or not. In addition, there's a link to another article about the Edwards situation that has comments from Geoff Smith from Roush. It seems to me that Ryan did give readers the other side of the story, however, the main point of the article is the comments by Lee White so naturally that's what the majority of the article is going to be about. I agree with anon at 1:23 and I see very little in that article that is commentary, at least from Ryan.

Yep, I think maybe the point has gotten skewed a little bit here.
This is a TV blog, the point is that on the Tradin' Paint show, we are looking for topics that start discussions. There is no problem of issue with Nate Ryan, he is a veteran reporter.
The issue is about TV. When you have someone on like that who is high profile and now making news with a big story, you should talk about it.
Nothing wrong with the content, just that is should have been discussed as well as the reason why it came about.

Wow. Suddenly there's no problem or issue with nate ryan? This is what you responded over on the Nascar Now blog when I asked if Nate Ryan was focus of the day of being blamed for Nascar's ills:
"Nate Ryan was on Tradin' Paint and was allowed to skate away without being pressed about his real agenda. The failure of this program to address this issue is contained in the Tradin' Paint column."
You first wrote the following in that blog, which is why I posted:
"Aust put things in perspective, and actually did a good job of calming down the media frenzy that Nate Ryan and USA Today did a superb job of starting."
You also said more than once upthread that this article was onesided. Now there's nothing wrong with the content. I'm shaking my head right now. When all else fails, I see it's OK to fall back on the this is a TV blog excuse.

I don't like the desk but I do like the split screen, it lets me see both guys and their reactions at the same time.

You are still not getting it. Last season, Roberts was put in the position of jumping-in and pinning down the issues resulting from the answers of the panelists.
This season, as with Ryan, he was allowed to offer his spin on his story and nothing was followed-up.
Roberts said nothing and Petty addressed another issue totally. You are confusing two issues. One is what Ryan wrote and the other is this TV show.
As you can see from my column, the point is how this TV show will present itself this season. Ryan, Jenna Fryer or even Bob Pockrass this season on the show resulted in a very different program.
Are viewers going to tune-in to see two people offer their viewpoints and then move on, or debate the issues of the day. One of them what the reason why Ryan chose to publish that story.
That help?

John - Not sure about NASCAR RICK, but it doesn't help me. You're talking in circles instead of saying what you wrote about the article was wrong. You didn't critique the performance on tradin' paint, you critiqued the content of the article. Many times. Until posters pointed this out, it had nothing to do with Roberts or the show. Now it does.
If you're wrong, admit it instead of writing explanations - the last two comments you posted - that barely make sense.

Is the desk new, or just the same one as last year with the participants seated differently? I am fine with the seating arrangement, but the desk does not accomodate it well.
I think it is fair to say that Roush's comments about Toyota last year angered Toyota and they took an opportunity to give back - maybe without thinking things through enough.
Bob Margolis has written that the effect of a loose oil sump cover was well known in the garage - but I have yet to see any TV or print reporter ask a complaining driver or crew member whether he had been involved in doing the same, which I find very curious.

I know I'm running the risk of being too verbose here, but I agree with you 100%!
