All through the 80s I had a flat stylized kinda style-inspired by Ed Benedict and the 50s commercials. I didn't find UPA cartoons themselves entertaining, but I loved the idea of striking flattish designs.
Everyone else in the studios hated it! No one would let me do it.
I met Mike Giamo once while looking for artists to work on ...I think it was Mighty Mouse and I realized that he and a few other artists also liked that sort of thing. But they liked it in adifferent way.
Mike is probably most responsible for steering the Cal Arts students in that direction-they combine the flat shapes of UPA with Disney-style (Frank Thomas) eyes and expressions and that's basically the Cal-Arts style. Cruella DeVille's face on Gerald McBoingBoing's head.
George Lucas hired a bunch of Cal Arts guys and made a paper cut out movie (I forget the name-help me out!) that Amid and many Cal Arts fans folks love. It's extreme Cal-Arts.
I thought that Mike and all these artists were very talented, but I took the flat designy stuff in a different direction.
To me, the style is just a tool-not an end in itself. It has functions.
It's great for commercials. It doesn't lend itself well to "personality cartoons". Super stylized characters are more like general symbols, rather than detailed layered living characters.
That's why I like Ed Benedict so much. He took a graphic style but made his characters look like characters, not just symbolic representations of generic people types.
I grew up watching early Hanna Barbera cartoons, that are a somewhat watered down version of graphic character design, but they are real characters-they seem alive and they interact with other characters and with us in the audience.
The only problem I have with UPA and it's descendants is that it philosophically leaves out the audience. It's intended for artists, not for regular humans. I, like other artists can find a lot of good in it, but I wanted to use the ideas to entertain a wide audience.
When we did the fake commercials in Ren and Stimpy, the artists and I attempted to go with a real 50s retro look to contrast with the design of Ren and Stimpy in the story cartoons.
These commercials were not meant to be stories or personality explorations. They are bookends to the stories.
Prizes in the cereal. Window dressing.
Here's one that Bob Camp did the storyboard for. He himself is not a stylized designy cartoonist, but he is a great all around illustrator and good at picking up styles fast. LOG was the first fake commercial we did, so we just stole the design from Marky Maypo. Basically to get used to drawing in a retro style.
I had Dave design the first Powdered Toast commercial and he did hilarious 50s style versions of Ren and Stimpy, but Nickelodeon flatly refused to let me do it. They thought it would confuse the kids, so sorry folks you didn't get to see that. It was a real treat!
I should have known better. That's what happened with the real UPA. Everyone copied the wrong parts-the cold, sterile blandness and the seemingly simplistic looking designs. History repeats itself I guess.
I'm making a commercial now in Rex's style.
Soon, I will show you what I think is best about the UPA cartoons. Here to start....
1) It's not the individual character designs themselves-or any of the little details. It's the stage design-how the characters all fit and compose with the backgrounds and the colors.
scene staging. And this is the part that no one copies. Anyone can draw stick figures today, but I don't see very many people who can make a composition and that's a huge difference.
Here are cluttered non-compositions from a UPA cartoon and others. Superficial imitations of the good stuff.

Charles is looking for a way to bring the joy of interactive storytelling found in video games to the "RL". He has built installation pieces that are reminiscent of the game Myst, with the audience searching the contents of rooms to unravel a hidden story. Now he is working on creating an alter-ego: Treggor McMasters, a super hero who will bridge the gap between fiction and reality by bringing the story off the screen, off the page, off the phonograph and onto the streets and into the chair across from you...face to face.

Today is the 70th Anniversary of the day Pearl Harbor was Sneak Attacked by the Japanese — that caused the USA to officially enter into World War II.
Most of the Greatest Generation of Americans would be 83 years old or older — my own father is now 85 (center, front Navy man). It is just him and my uncle Ted (back, left Army man) who remain alive now.
How fortunate for my Busia, that her four sons returned to her (in Detroit) alive. My uncle Joe (2nd from left in back Army) was stationed in Hawaii after Pearl Harbor was attacked. My uncle Steve (left-most, front Navy man) joined Joe there in Hawaii briefly for a war time reunion / shore leave.
From 1941 to 1945, receiving a telegram was something to dread. My grand-aunt, Antonina (Toledo) awaited her four sons too. God Bless my family, but eight men returned from the war safely to resume their lives. Alas, for Antonina and her ailing heart, receiving a telegram about one her sons was too much for her sickly heart and though her sons survived the war, she did not survive that telegram bringing news from the war.
In my wife's family her uncle Milton, a 2nd Lt. in the Army is buried at Arlington National Cemetery (he had survived WWII too). Her own father had finished his service to country in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyards — just two weeks. He died from that service. He contracted mesothelioma (asbestos poisoning) from his final two weeks — but was fortunate enough to raise a family before succumbing 42 years later to this hidden War-time scourge.
Detroit was the Arsenal of Democracy, shifting from cars to tanks/planes. Many people do not realize that population shift that war caused. A Huge migration from the South swelled the population of Detroit as workers were required to keep the factories running 24x7x365. I still remember eating Southern "cuisine" in diners in the greater Detroit area decades after the war.
Back East, the Shipyards were busy building the warships with their armaments. The USS Dixie (AD-14), Tender Destroyer that my own father served on was built right here in Philadelphia (launched on 27 May 1939) — probably in that Navy Ship Yard. A far cry from that 1913 September day that my grandmother arrived in Philadelphia. How funny for a Midwestern boy, that Philadelphia would be where my grandmother arrived, where my father's WWII ship was made and where I would wind up living and raising a family with my Philly girl.
Before, I started genealogy 15-16 years ago, I did not know my grandmother arrived in Phillly (we thought Ellis Island like my grandfather and so many others). I did not know that ship my father served on was built here. I had not even moved to Philly yet. Destiny draws you to these places and then you discover that the history of your family preceded you. Full circle.
Remember the Day of Infamy (70 years ago) ! Remember 9/11/2001 too, now ten years ago. Family History Marches on.

Monkeymind: The Ezekiel argument is not serious monkeymind, hyper religiosity is something you cannot relate to Ezekiel, and compared to others, like Daniel (for example) you get to see a huge difference; hypergraphia is also not really something you can accuse this guy of, because he only wrote one book, which is shorter than Harry Potter or pretty much any novel. This book is formed by different revelations he received in different times, so... are you implying he shouldn't write them?Now, this of Ezekiel being unable to speak is not described as such in the bible. It would be more like he didn't speak when people was going to visit him unless God told him to say something. Whenever he had to say something he would, instead, go and tell what he had to tell to people.Finally, this "doctor" also did the same with Samson, he is trying to become famous, and that's it. As for evolution, I would like you to brief me of what you know of evolution, thanks by the way, for being a worth contributor to the topic.Jaimehlers: Man, most people don't know of the errors in the bible, most people don't even read the bible. Do you think that will prevent them from going to heaven if God exists?As for Occam's razor, you just have to consider evolution before choosing "where to cut", let's see what Monkeymind have to say about that particular subject.
Astreja, you don't need to pray, you can just limit yourself to believe and do something good just for the sake of it.
I don't know you, but let's say you are capable of adopting a child, or at least a homeless dog. DO IT, then keep on with your life...
...later on, decide if you want to say you did it in the name of God, or in the name of random chaos, or just because you are good.
I can tell you this: if you do mostly bad things, eventually your own heart will accuse you, and you will feel bad for things you did...
...and , your actions will have their weight in your soul...
Truth is, you don't have to pray at all, whenever you see a sunset, or get a loving kiss, you can simply say "thanks God", you don't even need to say it, it is enough if you feel it, and if you show you are grateful with your actions, to make this world a better place, and to let others share your joy. If you do this, you should be ending up believing in God, and you will know for sure you have not been under hypnotism.
...and a total eclipse of the sun on a clear, bitterly cold day in Winnipeg in February 1979.
I must be a sinner. It was cloudy on that day in Oregon. All I got to see was the streetlights turn on in the middle of the morning.
You should just let the Holy Spirit to guide you, ...it's pretty simple actually because every human being knows what is good,
If every human knows what is good, why do we need a guide?
Monkeymind: Not Persian, just not from USA.Astreja: I cannot say anything to that except: "You've earned my respect"Add Homonym: Could you explain this?Quote from: Graybeard on February 25, 2012, 09:33:23 AMIf every human knows what is good, why do we need a guide?Hello Sir, the answer is simple: There is good and there is evil, and we humans can experience both, we can act driven by either, Jesus asks us to do what's good and ignore evil.Imagine there were a religion talking of selfishness and hate, well... there is actually, but we are not talking about religions, more like "probabilities of God's existence", let me know if you're interested in taking part of this debate, and if you are, please read my previous posts.
There is an interrogative sentence and an afirmative sentence, the first talks of an insect, the second talks of a random organism and not about... thank you for that precious piece of trolling.You know guys? maybe I am in the wrong place, I don't want you to provoque me, causing us all a bad time without reason. I wish you all luck in your worship to "Random", the god of yours.Let me know by PM if there is anyone that want to represent the atheist side on a debate, if there is, "good", if there isn't "good too", but I'm stopping this open troll topic right now, at least consider me out.
BTW Augusto, My sister is Muslim and my best friend is Muslim. My other family members are all Christian. I love them all, and I am equally tough on their beliefs. I just think it is silly to believe in anything supernatural. I have a brother in law that is a conspiracy theorist and believes aliens control our world. I'm tough on those beliefs too.My wife is a new ager who believes in homeopathy and the law of attraction. I am equally tough on those beliefs.The common thread: No reason to believe anything without evidence. Nearly everything can be explained as part of nature and virtual nothing supernatural can be confirmed. What can't be explained (YET) it's easy for me to say "I don't Know."
Good morning Augusto:I hope you don't mind me asking. Are you Persian? You "sound" a lot like my Persian friend.
Let's wait then, such person have not posted in here yet. I sent you a PM jetson, about the flamming, spamming, trolling and offtopic that is going on in here. I'm sure you'll be able to see it by yourself. I would like to ask you to keep an eye in here, because, you know... basically I'm a muslim in islamic territory, and people like to break the rules against me because I'm new in the comunity, and because I'm different.Pretty much like in school. May I count on you to keep an eye and guarantee everyone (and not just me) follow the rules?
Alzael: I don't know what you mean by preaching, but it's nice you are doing your work, have you found anyone else in here breaking the rules, or just me? Thanks in advance.
>snip< I had one question to God, which was "what is your porpoise for people who are born with deformities?" and I got my answer. >snip<
Consumption of whale and dolphin meat, as is the practice in Japan, is a source of high levels of mercury poisoning.
There is a 1 on 1 debate taking place in the debate room. You should ask Azazel to use your arguments is you think it might be useful, this, because a debate between me and the whole comunity wasn't possible because of different reasons.
Velkyn: The reason I "dodge" the study of prophecies is because it have been studied already, there is no point in using our time to replicate something that have been already established.
About the failure to Jesus to fulfill certain prophecies, it have been discussed before, and it is the way it should happen, either way other prophecies could not become true. For example, if Jesus would have rebuilt the temple in his first coming, Jewish people would have believed in him and another prophesy would have been broken, specifically the one about Jewish and non Jewish people.
It was necessary that Jewish deny the Messiah so his word would come to us. From the logical point of view, Jesus is the only possible Messiah and there is no chance that another Messiah could come today or in the future, and the construction of the temple, for example, is not "excused" by his second coming, but NECESSARY.
As for the rest of your arguments, I find just a problem in explaining everything to you as if this were a religion class, I mean, you need more information. I admire your desire to post on a logic way, but you just need to know more. I wonder if there is someone in here that knows enough.
Hey guys, I feel like I'm butting in, but what Augusto initially brought up made some sense to me. I felt like it could have used a little development, so if you don't mind here I go:
Which as Augusto pointed out has no historical antecedent, making the logical argument to probability a lot weaker. Then in Ezekiel 36, the promises that are made take a more practical nature. in verses 34-35"the desolate land shall be tilled, which was formerly a wasteland exposed to the gaze of every passer-by. This desolate land has been made into a garden of Eden, they shall say. "The cities that were in ruins, laid waste, and destroyed are now repeopled and fortified." We understand that after the Jewish people returned to Israel, they were met with a wasteland. Swampland had invaded most of their fertile ground in their absence, there was very little water and so on. It was at this point they invented drip irrigation, and now they have these farms stretching over what was once desert and swamp. Now Israel is considered to be the breadbasket of the West.

Englewood Cliffs-based food and consumer products conglomerate Unilever today announced plans to sell its Skippy peanut butter business to Austin, Minn.-based Spam maker Hormel Foods Corp. for $700 million in cash.
The transaction includes Unilever's Skippy manufacturing plants in Little Rock, Ark., and Weifang, China, though in an e-mail, a company spokesman said "a limited number of nonmanufacturing employees in each of the functions across the business solely dedicated to the Skippy business … will be informed on an individual basis" if the sale will impact their jobs in New Jersey. The spokesman did not respond to a request to specify which job functions and how many positions at the company will dissolve when the deal closes early this year, pending regulatory approvals.
The agreement signals the company's fourth sale of food brands in two years, as ConAgra Foods Inc. bought its Bertolli and P.F. Chang's frozen meals brands for $265 million in August; Parsippany-based B&G Foods Inc. acquired its Culver Specialty Brands portfolio for $325 million in cash in October 2011; and Cargill paid approximately $342 million for its consumer tomato products business in April 2011.
In today's announcement, Unilever North America President Kees Kruythoff said "as we continue to sharpen our portfolio to deliver sustainable growth for Unilever, we believe that the potential of the Skippy brand can now be more fully realized with Hormel Foods."
Hormel anticipates the product will rake in annual sales of approximately $370 million, including nearly $100 million in international sales — mostly from China, where it is currently the leading peanut butter brand. Hormel CEO Jeffrey M. Ettinger said in a statement he expects Skippy's dominance in China to be "a useful complement to our sales strategy" to bring its existing deli meat products into that market.
Ettinger added the acquisition "allows us to grow our branded presence in the center of the store with a nonmeat protein product." Presently, non-refrigerated grocery products comprise 16 percent of Hormel's net sales, according to the company's fourth-quarter earnings statement.
Hormel expects the deal to be modestly accretive in fiscal 2013, and add 13 cents to 17 cents per share in fiscal 2014.

BATON ROUGE — Nineteen conservative members of the House, including two who represent Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, have asked the Attorney General's Office for an opinion on whether the state budget is constitutional.
BATON ROUGE — Nineteen conservative members of the House, including two who represent Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, have asked the Attorney General's Office for an opinion on whether the state budget is constitutional.
Reps. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, and Dee Richard, an independent from Thibodaux, both signed the petition.
The effort is being led by Rep. Kirk Talbot, R-River Ridge, who said he wants to know if the 2012-2013 budget is unlawful on multiple grounds.
Certain appropriations, for example, are being questioned.
"We are seeking guidance regarding whether exceeding the revenue forecast, use of contingency funds and one-time funds in the budget are lawful and constitutional," he said.
Talbot, vice-chairman of the House Commerce Committee, said those lawmakers who expressed concern about the budget during this year's regular session need to continue their push until the budget yields a "result that best serves the needs of the people, families and businesses of Louisiana."
Harrison said lawmakers were forced to craft a budget based on a proposal from Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration and the opinion could help clear up some long-held arguments.
"I think it's time we show who is fiscally responsible and who's not," Harrison said.
Richard, who could not immediately be reached for an interview Monday when the opinion request was filed, was a vocal critic of the budget during the regular session, going as far as to co-author an unsuccessful proposal with Treasurer John Kennedy to reduce state jobs and spending on certain consulting contracts.
Both of the local lawmakers argue state law requires a balanced budget, and both the state constitution and revised statutes prohibit so-called "deficit appropriations" or budget appropriations that exceed the forecast of available money.
In the related request sent to Attorney General Buddy Caldwell, Talbot wrote that the state budget includes $8.3 billion in appropriations from the state general fund and another $3.8 billion from statutory dedications for the fiscal year that runs from July 1, 2012, to June 30, 2013.
However, the official revenue forecast, which was adopted April 24, "reflects only ($8.1 billion) in state general fund revenue," Talbot added.
Talbot and his fellow petitioners also argue nonrecurring revenues were used to pay for recurring expenses and the decision constitutes an "improper use."
Talbot specifically calls it a "revenue shell game," adding its "conflicts with the state constitution are manifest."
He also asked the Attorney General's Office to explore whether the constitution's prohibition on "contingent appropriations" was violated.
Since some appropriations in the budget were contingent upon the passage of other bills, in addition to the "occurrence of highly unlikely or uncertain events," Talbot believes the prohibition may have not been followed when lawmakers adopted the budget and Jindal left the provisions intact.
The Jindal administration was asked such questions during this year's regular session, with administration officials routinely answering that every decision made was lawful and constitutional.
The group of supporting legislators who signed the petition have hired Kyle M. Keegan and J. Brian Juban, of the law firm of Keegan, DeNicola, Kiesel, Bagwell, Juban and Lowe of Baton Rouge to serve as the lead attorneys on the matter.
The other lawmakers who signed the petition are:
- Rep. Johnny Berthelot, R-Gonzales
- Rep. Thomas Carmody, R-Shreveport
- Rep. Ray Garofalo, R-Chalmette
- Rep. Cameron Henry, R-Metairie
- Rep. Brett Geymann, R-Lake Charles

In the throes of the Christmas Season, Niall McGahon delves in his experience of MS and shares with us how he deals with the uncertainty by keeping things in the moment, in the day. Read on to calm…. I am forever amazed at how the small things that you take for granted when younger have such a massive impact as you get older. "The evenings will soon be on the turn…." is a saying from my Dad when I was growing up (and still is for that matter!). It meant one of two things: the evenings would be getting shorter or they were about to get even longer! I loved the thought of the latter as it meant come March, the evenings would be longer, school would nearly be over and golf was the only thing I had on my menu! This has changed over the years, but my core excitement of the longer evenings has not changed one little bit. Warmth returns, growth begins again and last Spring (2017) was so very special- we welcomed our first child. This only confirmed for me that Spring truly is the most wonderful time of the year. Life regenerates and the cycle starts again, fresh growth appears in the trees and the bright colours are abundant in the sky. As the season turns, I look to Spring because it is quite the opposite of what I am now facing in my health. There is little regeneration and the cycle is not restarting. If anything, its quite the opposite and we are essentially trying to stop MS dead in its tracks; stop it so that I retain function and stay well. This is a particularly difficult time of year for me because it was 4 years ago this month that I found out that I had MS and my life was changed forever. Now, I am living life from day to day, week to week, month by month. Staying in the moment is welcome. However, not knowing how I am going to be when I wake up in the morning can impact greatly on the day and night I have. It can also have an impact on those around me- I am difficult to decipher and who knows what version of Niall they are going to get on any given day. On some days, I am nothing short of a pain in the ass. I try and catch myself but…thankfully, I have a massively supportive family near and far, a beautiful home, great friends and a good job. When I do wake up in pain (most days lately) I know its part and parcel of what I've got to deal with, difficult as it may be. Little by little, I am getting better at being kind to myself. I keep it simple. Daily, I have one of two choices to make- I can either have the outlook of Springtime, where the light is bright, where there's warmth and life is in abundance or I can close my mind and let the winter darkness come over me. Yes, it is a difficult time of the year but I choose to use my Spring outlook and grasp whatever life has in store…no matter what way the wind blows this winter.

This week Grace Kavanagh writes about what the International Day of People With Disabilities means to her and what we as individuals understand about living with a disability. I'll forgive you if you weren't aware that there was such a thing as International Day of People With Disabilities. I wasn't either before some research. It is an initiative set up by the UN in 1992 to promote understanding of disability issues and to raise support for those with disabilities to enable them to participate equally in society. It is held yearly on December 3rd and the theme for this year is "Inclusion is for everybody". The day is recognised at the UN headquarters in New York with organisations and groups around the world encouraged to hold their own events. I love the idea of social equality but think in reality we have a long way to go. Raising awareness is one thing but raising understanding and empathy is quite another and this is where I think the focus should be. So what do I as a person with disability think the International Day of People With Disabilities should include? I don't think any one person can understand all the challenges people with differing disabilities face and I certainly can't speak for everyone. I do however think that we all need to think a bit more about other people and try not to be entirely caught up in our own worlds. We have all been guilty of unknowingly causing issues for others by our actions so here are some things to consider in our everyday lives that might have an impact on people with disabilities. ● Viewing things from the perspective of the person with a disability would help us all to see how our actions can impede others. It could also help us to be less irritated or frustrated when we understand the challenges the other person is facing. ● Experiences that give an insight into the life of someone with a disability can really boost understanding. For example the MSunderstood cafe gives people the opportunity to view the world from the perspective of someone living with MS. I'll be sending my husband when it comes back to Dublin! ● In a similar way, I know of a charity for the visually impaired that requires employees to spend time wearing glasses that distort vision and use a wheelchair so they understand the difficulties people they work with may have. ● I taught computing to a lady with hearing difficulties. She had a sign language interpreter who enabled her to be an equal participant in the class. I learnt to address my comments to her and not her interpreter, just as I would with any other member of the class. ● Think before you park your car! Parking on pavements or up on the kerb leaves no safe route for people in wheelchairs, while parking in disabled bays when you don't need to means a person with a disability can't use the facility. ● Don't get me started on the pavements in Dublin! They are a hazard to everyone but in particular those with mobility issues. Try not to add to the problem by leaving obstructions like bins on the path. Disabilities aren't always visible. You don't know what someone else is coping with just by looking at them. They could be living with chronic pain but look fine. Try not to judge what you don't know.

This week Aoife Kirwan writes about the upcoming event for Young People with MS on 29th November 2018 (6pm-8pm) in the Davenport Hotel, Dublin. Register for the event here For almost eight years I have been living with the knowledge that I have MS. My diagnosis came at a time when I was just getting started in adult life. Years of education were behind me and I was in the final months of my degree. Prior to my diagnosis, I had a very clear vision of what I wanted in life, what I wanted to do, to be, to become. This moment in time changed everything for me. The future I had envisioned for myself was now unclear. The main symptom that I had was optic neuritis in my right eye which left me with just about 2% vision in that eye. I had been working towards becoming a secondary school art teacher. I felt like I had to say goodbye to that idea, as I didn't feel it would be a secure enough given the issue I had with my sight. I felt like I was at a crossroads. It was still early enough to change my mind about the best path forward but that didn't make it easy. The promises that I had made myself were destined to remain unfulfilled. I feared what was to come because for years I had been looking in one direction and this diagnosis forced me to look around. It made me uncomfortable. The way I felt about myself and the way I felt the world saw me, changed. My sense of identity was shaken. I didn't think a support group would be my kind of thing. I didn't like the diagnosis; I was all about trying to be positive and felt that the niggling negative thoughts might grow stronger if I saw other people who were more seriously disabled by MS than me. What I didn't realise then was that I needed connection. To speak to others my age who were living with MS. I needed information that was relevant to me, support around decisions that we often come up against in early adult life like education, relationships, self-acceptance. Early adult life sees people lay the foundation blocks for their future and I needed support with making my foundation solid. Next Thursday, November 29th MS Ireland, in collaboration with Novartis, is hosting MS Explored, an information and support event for young people living with multiple sclerosis (18-35). Speakers include Moira Tzitzika who will talk about Relationships and Intimacy. Moira has a PhD in Psychology and specialises in Disability Counselling and Sexual Medicine at the European Society of Sexual Medicine. Psychologist Karen Belshaw, founder of Stress Management Ireland, will speak on Mental Resilience and past-president of the Union of Students Ireland, Michael Kerrigan will show us Road-mapping for Success. This event will take place in the Davenport Hotel, Dublin from 6-8pm. A live stream will be available for those who are not able to attend in person. Students unions around the country have been incredibly helpful in organising on-campus hubs where the live stream will be shown. Questions for the speakers can be sent in by direct messaging our social media platforms. The event is free to attend but please register using the following link: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/ms-explored-meeting-tickets-52707199653 This is a great opportunity for young people living with MS to meet with their community. Connecting with others who are at a similar stage of life and navigating similar issues can be a very empowering experience and I look forward to seeing you there.
Monday, November 19th is International Men's Day, a celebration of the positive value men bring to the world, their families and their communities. Today Keith Byrne shares his experience and talks about 'manning up to MS'. I've been lucky to share my life with some great men. My Dad, my Granddads, extended family members, colleagues and friends. I think that's what made it so hard for me to initially open up about my MS diagnosis. It was as if I didn't belong in the same category as these men that I idolised. I in no way tick any of the pre-requisites society associates with being a 'manly man'. I'm not the strong/silent type or 'tall, dark & handsome' at 5ft. 4 and bald. There is also the statistic that more than twice as many women are diagnosed with MS than men. I was a gamma male, never to be an alpha. Yet being diagnosed with MS awoke a strength in me that I always knew was there yet I never felt I had a reason to channel it. Once I came to terms with my diagnosis things started to improve both mentally and physically. This didn't happen overnight. It took a number of months as well as discussions with my MS nurse, nutritionist and my close family too. Eventually, after my first 'MS Newly Diagnosed Day' I gathered the strength to come out of the MS closet. Talking about my diagnosis is something I've learned to be very comfortable with. I've since done newspaper and radio interviews. I also started seeing a counsellor. Over the summer, I took part in a video for my job to promote mental health awareness. As part of the promotion for the video, I was asked to speak to a group of approximately fifty of my peers (most of whom I'd never met in person). Each scenario has been a massive challenge as each time I felt totally out of my comfort zone. I can develop an inherent shakiness in these circumstances and I'm conscious that might come across when I'm talking to a crowd of people. Yet I find each time I challenge myself, I'm a little less nervous and little more brave the next time around. It can't be underestimated how much stress affects our health. I'm intentionally putting myself in situations where my confidence is stretched to its core. It might sound like I'm bringing unnecessary burdens upon myself but there is method to the madness. I feel that, by deliberately challenging myself, I might be that little bit more prepared for situations that are out of my control. I wouldn't say I do this on a daily basis. Ultimately, I have relapse remitting MS From time to time I need a break away from everything. Outside of the daily challenges caused by MS, like fatigue and brain fog, my biggest challenge to date was the Dublin Marathon at the end of October. In the 3 and a half years or so since my mobility and vision returned back to a somewhat acceptable level I've been trying maintain an active lifestyle. A couple of lunchtime runs a week and maybe a longer one at the weekend led to me signing up for the marathon. The crowds of people out showing their support from the outset of the 26.2-mile trek was so uplifting. I especially felt humbled when I was struggling around mile 20 and I got a pat on the back from a guy as he ran past wearing the same TeamMS t-shirt as me, "Come on pal not long to go, you can do it". Thanks for the motivation and I'm proud to say I did do it! On the way into the marathon I met a man from Cork who was in Dublin for the day just to run it. We shared a taxi into town. He told me he was 66 and on his 313th marathon. An unbelievable achievement by any means but he also said he only ran his first one in 1999. I'm sure he had his reasons for starting something so taxing relatively late in life and it made me think; we all have our own path to follow and sometimes we get knocked off track. MS has certainly changed the course of my path. Perhaps, in some strange way, it's helped point me in the right direction. I no longer feel inferior to the men who inspire me. I have gained the awareness to realise they already see me as their equal. To all the men out there, fellow MSers, Carers, well-wishers and generally sound lads I'll leave you with this quote by Liverpudlian songwriter John Power: "Someone will always be more than I'll ever be so then I'll be myself"

The Darwinian Problem of Evil
Charles Darwin laid out what I call The Darwinian Problem of Evil. In his autobiography he wrote:
That there is much suffering in the world no one disputes. Some have attempted to explain this in reference to man by imagining that it serves for his moral improvement. But the number of men in the world is nothing compared with that of all other sentient beings, and these often suffer greatly without any moral improvement. A being so powerful and so full of knowledge as a God who could create this universe, is to our finite minds omnipotent and omniscient, and it revolts our understanding to suppose that his benevolence is not unbounded, for what advantage can there be in the suffering of millions of the lower animals throughout almost endless time? This very old argument from the existence of suffering against the existence of an intelligent First Cause seems to be a strong one; whereas…the presence of much suffering agrees well with the view that all organic beings have been developed through variation and natural selection.

The state of Florida has produced another prospect for Louisville coach Charlie Strong, Gainesville High linebacker Keith Kelsey Jr.
The state of Florida has produced another prospect for Louisville coach Charlie Strong.
His latest addition is Gainesville High linebacker Keith Kelsey Jr., who verbally committed to the Cardinals on Monday morning.
Kelsey chose Louisville over Kentucky and USF, among others. He officially visited all three schools this month. The 6-foot-2, 215-pounder was named first-team all-state by The Associated Press after registering 193 tackles in his senior season, including 14 in the state championship game.
Kelsey is the 14th member of Louisville's 2013 class and the seventh from the Sunshine State. This past year, Strong had 34 Floridians on his roster.
"It felt like home when I went there," Kelsey said. "I was comfortable with the players. So many of them are from Florida and they act just like my teammates. They're real down to earth and I can relate to them a lot."
Kelsey was visited by Strong at GHS last Tuesday and is eager to learn from the former UF defensive coordinator.
"He's just a great coach, not only on the field but off the field," Kelsey said. "He cares about his players and he's going to push you to be the best person you can be."
"He wants me to come in and play right away. They need some linebackers to jump right into the rotation, so he's looking for me to contribute as a freshman."
Louisville started recruiting Kelsey as a junior and offered him his second scholarship. The Cardinals' 2012 campaign sold him on the school.
"They started showing me more interest this year," Kelsey said, "and I started having more interest in them because they were ranked high and winning a lot of ball games. Then when I saw them beat Florida, I knew they were for real."
Cedderick Daniels, Gainesville's co-defensive coordinator and linebackers coach, said the Cardinals are getting a proven performer and student of the game.
"I'm very proud of Keith," Daniels said. "It's a great move for him and Louisville. He has always excelled with everything and the stats speak for themselves.
"His film study is going to help him out the most. It's one thing to play football, everybody can do that to a certain extent. But he knows the game so well and he's able to identify plays before they happen. I think he's going to do very well."
Kelsey's father, Keith Sr., played linebacker at Florida from 1995-1999 and helped the Gators win the 1996 national championship. He graduated from Newberry High and was The Sun's Area Defensive Player of the Year in 1994.
The younger Kelsey looks forward to representing his city and school at Louisville.
"I'm really excited about the opportunity to play college football and rep Gainesville on that big of a stage," Kelsey said. "It feels good to be able to come out of GHS and say I'm doing something with my life."

It's strictly down to business in this "industrial" home workout room. State-of-the-art, heavy duty equipment rivals what can be found in a professional gym. Lines are crisp, clean, and minimalist-the sole decorative element provided by an abstract in warm oranges to soften the overall steel on blue color palette. This is a space that sends a clear message: you're going to sweat!
Also relying on multi-functional equipment to make the most of a relatively small space, this exercise room has a sunny, open ambiance enhanced by its off-white and beige color palette. A large wall mirror visually increases the already abundant natural light and allows fitness regime participants to continually monitor their posture. A view to the adjoining outdoor patio makes for pleasant daydreaming when reading a magazine on the treadmill or exercycle just isn't the order of the day.

Rangers - 0 20 085 101 - 17 20 2Wow.
Red Sox - (10)02 010 14x - 19 17 2
Recapping this game -- which tied the American League record for most combined runs -- is out of the question. Instead, here are a few tidbits:
David Ortiz hit two three-run home runs in the first inning, becoming the first Sock to collect six RBI in one inning since Carlos Quintana on July 30, 1991 (also against Texas!). Flo likely was robbed of a third tater in the fifth when an idiot fan reached over the wall in dead center and caught the ball.
Kevin Youkilis made the first and third outs in the first inning, both on strikeouts. He also committed two errors, one at first base and one at third. But, after hitting a two-run dong in the fifth, he blasted a three-run bomb to left in the eighth, giving Boston its margin of victory.
Dustin Pedroia went 5-for-6 and scored five runs.
The other AL game with 36 runs? The Red Sox won that one, too. June 29, 1950: Boston 22, Philadelphia 14. Three weeks earlier, the Red Sox had pounded the St. Louis Browns 20-4 and 29-4 on back-to-back days. That 1950 team could mash: it scored 1,027 runs in 154 games (6.67 per game).
The major league record is 49 runs (Chicago 26, Philadelphia 23, August 25, 1922). The Phillies recovered and shutout the Cubs 3-0 in 11 innings the next day!
Scott Feldman (4.82, 88 ERA+) / Charlie Zink (MLB debut)
Zink, who turns 29 in two weeks:
"This is everything I have ever dreamed of. It has come true now and I'm going to the major leagues. It's ridiculous. I'm at a loss for words. I really don't know what to say about it. I'll be smiling forever now. This is just awesome. Awesome."
Zink has had an exceptional year in Pawtucket: 13-4, 2.89 in 25 starts, with a .228 opponents batting average. Two weeks ago, he said:
It just gradually kept getting better and better. Now it's finally to the point where I'm not ever worried about throwing a ball. Full counts, I'll throw a knuckleball still. I don't worry about walking people anymore.Zink was signed as an undrafted free agent in April 2002 on the recommendation of Luis Tiant, his coach at Georgia's Savannah College of Art and Design. In addition to the knuckler, he throws a fastball (low 80s, faster than Wakefield's), curve and changeup (thrown at roughly the same speed as the knuckler, 66-71).
A lot of it is me just having to believe in it. I always wanted to go back to throwing hard. Now I know I can't do that anymore, so I have to be able to figure it out to throw consistent knuckleballs up there that will move and hopefully not get hit hard.
Manny Delcarmen:
Once he became a full-time knuckleballer, I couldn't even play catch with him anymore. He just kept hitting me so much. I had bruises everywhere.Justin Masterson:
He consistently comes out and pitches like you would expect a veteran to. ... He's been working so hard that many of us thought he should have been here already. He's fun to watch ... so laid back ... slicing and dicing.Zink will be starting on only three days rest, having thrown seven innings and 104 pitches on Friday. He has pitched on short rest three times this season: 15.1 IP, 1 run, 8 BB, 13 K.
Kevin Cash, on Zink:
I caught him probably three starts last year, and he threw the ball very well. This year, obviously, what he's doing in the International League, he's probably made some drastic improvements. I've caught bits and pieces from guys coming up, and I've asked about how he's throwing.The New York Times wrote about him this past in June:
He pitches a lot like Wake as far as, he's able to throw his knuckleball for strikes and when he gets behind 2-0 or 3-1, he's still committed to throwing the knuckleball. I think that's big. If you're not committed to doing that, you're going to get in trouble throwing 80-mph fastballs when you're behind in the count.
He uses a protective gel on the nail of his index finger, because that one rubs against the ball. He grows the nail on his middle finger long so he can dig it into the ball. He calls it a "one nail and one knuckle" grip, which is what he thought he had seen Wakefield do on television all those years earlier. Wakefield actually uses two fingertips. ... "I haven't seen anybody else with this grip."The Globe's Sunday magazine featured Zink in May 2008. (His Japanese-American grandparents, while living in California, were imprisoned in a US internment camp during World War II.) ... He was also featured in The New Yorker back in May 2004.
Finally, here are two older interviews -- from 2004 and 2005.
What number will Zink get? He wears #16 with Pawtucket, but Luis Alicea has that number in Boston. It would be cool if he got 30 -- the atomic number for zinc -- but Jonathan Van Every received that number earlier this year.
Yankees/Twins at 8 PM and Rays/Athletics at 10 PM.

1959 Fleer Ted WilliamsTed Williams was one of the greatest hitters ever to play the game ! The 'Splendid Splinter' played from 1939-1942 and 1946-1960 all with the Boston Red Sox. He missed 1943 thru 1945 due to military duty when he was a pilot during the wars. For his career he hit .344 with 521 home runs. Ted Williams was one of the biggest stars baseball has ever seen, and his baseball cards remain very popular and valuable.
Ted's rookie card was in 1950 Bowman and he was exclusive with Bowman from 1950 thru 1954. In 1954 he also allowed Topps to make his cards which they did from 1954 thru 1958.
In 1959 Fleer signed Ted Williams away from Topps and assumed the star Ted Williams would be retiring, put out an entire 80-card set of cards highlighting Ted Williams and illustrating his life both in and out of baseball. Williams decided late in the fall to resign for another year perhaps damaging the sets impact. Today these cards remain extremely popular with most of the cards in teh set still quite affordable.
There is one very rare card in this set, #68 picturing Ted with Bucky Harris.
UNFORTUNATELY Topps had Bucky Harris under exclusive contract and
Fleer had to quickly halt production of this card making it a significant
SHORT PRINT. Only a few made it out to the public. This card is quite rare,
hardly ever seen and a plain old simple checklist making it the perfect
candidate for counterfeiting.
Other interesting cards are those that picture Ted with Babe Ruth, Jimmie Foxx, Sam Snead and Jim Thorpe. In addition, cards of Ted fishing or with his airplane are also very popular.

1961 Topps Baseball Cards AUTOGRAPHED Set info/informationBy now you all heard of the rash of counterfeit autographs on the market.
The following autographs all come with auction house LOA's (Letters of Authenticity) from the top authenticators in the hobby - PSA/DNA or James Spence !!!
The 1961 Topps baseball card set included 587 standard size 2˝" x 3˝" cards (#1-#598 with several skipped numbers). 2 cards were accidently numbered #463, one of them (the Braves Team card was supposed to be card #426).
The 1961 Topps set included the following special "subsets":
* League Leaders (10 cards)
* World Series highlights (10 cards)
* Highlights (11 cards)
* MVP's (16 cards)
* Checklists (7 cards plus several variations)
* Team cards (xx cards)
* Special Multi-Player cards (xx cards)
* Managers (xx cards)
* Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies (xx cards)
* Sporting News All-Stars (#566-#589)
1961 Topps was the first of the very popular and continuing Topps Rookie All-Star Trophies subsets. Cards from the last series (#523-#589) are scarce "High Numbers" making the set fairly expensive to complete.
MLB Baseball expansion led to one of the least attractive aspects of the 1961 Topps baseball card set. The American League made several changes. The Los Angeles Angels were added, the Washington Senators became the Minnesota Twins and a new franchise was granted to the Washington Senators who also debuted in 1961. Possibly because of these team changes, many players had their portrait photos taken without their baseball caps. Not only did most of the players look awful without their caps, they looked more like your old, not so handsome uncle then athletes!
Card backs were black print on an army green background on a dark card stock making them somewhat difficult to read. TOP ROOKIES: #35 Ron Santo, #141 Billy Williams, #417 Juan Marichal, Willie Davis, Zoilo Versalles & Jim Maloney; are popular players but still reasonably priced.
More interesting tid-bits from the 1961 Topps set:
Card #1 features All-American basketball player Dick Groat
Collectors of 1961 Topps cards may also want to take a look at 3 other baseball issues Topps released that year: a Topps Dice Game, Topps Magic Rub-Offs and a series of Topps Stamps.
Although some dealers and collectors consider this set boring, with it's clean design, many special subsets
and multiple cards of some of the games top stars including 6 Mantle's I rate it much higher.

HILLSDALE � After an uncharacteristic week in which it struggled offensively, the Hillsdale College men's basketball team as righted the ship in a big way.
For the second straight game, hot shooting propelled the Chargers to a win, this time an 86-59 victory over the Ohio Dominican University Panthers in a Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Association game Saturday at Jesse Philips Arena.
Three players scored in double figures for Hillsdale (10-4, 6-4 GLIAC), which never trailed in the contest. After shooting at a 60-percent clip in Thursday's victory at Tiffin, the Chargers were even more on fire Saturday, shooting 68.6 percent from the floor.
"Going into the Christmas break we were playing well, but in the first two games after that set a terrible pace and didn't work hard enough," Hillsdale coach John Tharp said. "We addressed having pride in the program and talked about getting back to the things we're about."
The Chargers took control early in the first half with a 14-4 run and never looked back. Baskets by Nick Washburn and Darius Ware broke a 4-4 tie, then consecutive 3-pointers by Brandon Pritzl and Washburn lifted Hillsdale into an 18-8 lead just over six minutes in.
Ohio Dominican (3-12, 0-10 GLIAC) answered with a 3-pointer from Morgan Jones, but Tim Dezelski and Washburn answered with baskets before Anthony Manno and Pritzl buried consecutive missiles, making it 35-13.
The teams exchanged baskets in the final four minutes of the half, and Hillsdale carried a 41-19 lead into intermission.
"We were disappointed (last Saturday) against Saginaw Valley, and Thursday we played with and edge," Tharp said. "The guys did a good job looking for each other and creating opportunities."
The Chargers pulled further ahead early in the second half with 10 straight points. Dezelski and Cody Smith kicked off the run with inside baskets, then Dezelski added two more baskets in the paint, giving Hillsdale a 51-21 lead.
The Panthers answered with a 10-4 run of their own. Jones hit four free throws and a layup by Trent Weaver made it 55-31, but Hillsdale halted their momentum with 12 straight points. Tony Nelson and Dezelski scored inside baskets, then Ware scored a layup and converted a traditional 3-point play, making it 67-31 midway through the half.
Three minutes later, Ryan Choiniere threw down a dunk and hit a layup, then Pritzl sank another 3-pointer, increasing the Chargers' lead to 29.
"We feel our bench is a big reason for our production," Tharp said. "Ryan facilitates our offense and looks for the open player, and guys like Manno, Nelson and Jason Pretzer have been quite good for us the majority of the year."
Dezelski finished with a game-high 21 points to lead Hillsdale. Washburn recorded a double-double with 19 points and 12 rebounds, while Pritzl had 11 points. Ware finished with nine points.
Jones, who entered the game ranked sixth in the league in scoring, was held to 11 points. Jordan Cowgill led Ohio Dominican with 12 points off the bench, while Chad Nelson scored eight points.
"We did a better job with our 1-2 rotation, and the guys have a belief in our formula of good defense and rebounding," Tharp said. "We have a lot of respect for Jones and his talent, and Nick did a good job protecting the lane. Darius is one of the best on ball defenders in the league."
The Chargers are back on the road Thursday when they visit Lake Erie College for another GLIAC contest.
NOTES: Tharp earned his 100th victory as Hillsdale's coach Saturday. He posted his 300th career victory Dec. 6 at Northern Michigan...The Chargers are 5-0 against Ohio Dominican since the Panthers joined the GLIAC in the 2010-11 season...Hillsdale improved to 8-1 at home on the season.

Heu U_J,
It looks like you provivded a PO Box as an address. We do not send prizes to P.O Box addresses but if you get back with a full address they will get it resent to you.
Takes awhile but you'll recieve your item if the info you provided is correct.
I won an ultimate race a couple years back and recieved a 2,500$ check, so i'm sure if i got that, you'll get your hat..
Firstly the Covers Experts Customer Service department is located in Ireland, so if theyu somehow found a way to mask their phone number and put on an impressive Vegas accent I doubt it was them
Secondly they do not cold call anyone when it comes to Sales. The only time they make calls is when they are replying to a voicemail or an email requesting that someone contact them.
Clearly whoever iscalling you is a scammer, my advice would be not to answer their calls but saying that, if you do decide to answer I would be interested to know what BS they are saying.
As the guys confirmed you are eligible for cash prizes should you win one. However only contestants who have adresses in the US and Canada can receive Hats or Hoodies.
If you have an address of a friend or relative in the us that you would like us to send a prize to please let us know and we would gladly deliver it there.

It means that there is no guarantee but everybody gets paid.

As the Somerset County Business Partnership and county freeholders get to work drafting a plan to target areas for economic development, the head of the project said feedback from the private sector during the business outreach phase has shifted the focus.
"Our perspective had been based on a long period in the '80s and '90s that saw a lot of growth along our interstate highways. That rapid sprawl development was almost overwhelming and seen as a threat to our quality of life," said Michael Kerwin, president and CEO of the partnership. "But we're in a different world now, with rising office vacancy and corporate relocation."
According to Kerwin, the key industry sectors with potential for business retention and growth under the comprehensive economic development strategy, or CEDS, include advanced manufacturing, finance, technology, and pharmaceuticals and life sciences. But Kerwin said the county may lose its grip on those industries unless it enacts a plan to simplify regulatory procedures, effectively train its work force and retool vacant commercial sites.
Though the CEDS will align with the economic growth strategies of the county and state, Kerwin said the state's strategic plan in its present form targets investment in urban areas with major transportation networks, but "does not bear in mind we have large office complexes along our interstates that have served as an economic engine for the state for many years — and they need to be supported with state incentives, as well."
"Pharmaceutical relocation is an issue statewide, but we could bring something to the table to retain those companies by reinventing our space to form corporate centers for the industry … and looking at some ways to make it easier to get them than driving," Kerwin said. "It's not that we're against the rebirth of cities; it's just that we're pointing out we have these large complexes that we have to support to keep business in Somerset County."
Regardless of the state's willingness to provide aid, Kerwin said the CEDS project will undertake developing work force training programs that better fit employers' needs and building research ties between businesses and institutions of higher education. Those partnerships currently are limited to Raritan Valley Community College, even though 17 colleges are located within a 10-mile radius of Somerset County, Kerwin said.
"The main reason Allergen just moved into Bridgewater was because they knew about our educated work force, which has exceeded their original expectations. If we can get the resources to form a marketing team specific to Somerset County, we could tell even more businesses what we have to offer, and what we hope to offer through this project," Kerwin said. "We didn't have to promote ourselves in the past, but it's clear that we do now."
Kerwin said the partnership is on track to complete the first draft of the CEDS by December and submit it to the county as an element of the master plan by February 2013.

In 1964, Truman High School opened its doors as the second high school in Independence.
Now, students, staff, alumni and the community are celebrating the school's 50th anniversary.
"I think living in Harry Truman's backyard, we take for granted the history that is here," said Angie Zarrillo, Student Council Adviser at Truman. "Truman Patriots are some of the greatest people around, and it is all because they grew up in a place that is dedicated to its students and education. This is the time we should all come together as one community to celebrate the people we are and have become from being a part of Truman High School."
The 50th anniversary celebration starts Oct. 4 and 5 during Truman High School's Homecoming. There will be an alumni tent at the game with live music starting at 6 p.m. There will also be "Buck Stops Here" specials at the concession stand. The football game is at the Independence District Football Stadium, 1223 N. Noland Road. The game starts at 7 p.m.
At 10 a.m. Oct. 5, Truman High School will have its annual Homecoming Parade on the Independence Square. Zarrillo said Homecoming is actually an alumni event to begin with, so to have alumni come back to celebrate the high school's milestone will be exciting.
"Like Harry Truman said, 'It's amazing what you can accomplish, if you do not care who gets the credit.' We have all created this school together and this sense of Patriot pride over the last 50 years, so everyone should come share their love for red, white and blue," she said. "Alumni can also be a part of our parade, if their class would like to coordinate a float, or walk in the parade or say if you were in a sport or a club, you could go get on that float with your fellow members of the group or sport."
Zarrillo said Homecoming weekend is just the starting point of the anniversary activities. There is also the Hall of Fame ceremony at the school's annual Pack the House game, and there will be additional events during Courtwarming week this winter. She said what she is looking forward to most about the homecoming activities is seeing the pride among Truman Patriots.
"We have had an overwhelming response to the shirt we have created for all students, families and alumni, and the love of the flier. I have had all ages of people contacting me, asking about it, and the coolest part is they all start their e-mail or conversation with their year they graduated, like they still have that Patriot pride and love for Truman," Zarrillo said. "They sound so proud to be a part of Truman's history, so I am just excited to see how many people come to see what successes we have over the years and who we are now."

Clayton resident Lynne Newlin overtook her Democratic opponent Dave Brown 582 to 294 to win the Democratic Primary Tuesday for the recently moved 11th District Representative.
Clayton resident Lynne Newlin overtook her Democratic opponent Dave Brown 582 to 294 to win the Democratic Primary Tuesday for the recently moved 11th District Representative.
She won with 66 percent of the vote and with six of the eight polling locations including Townsend, Blackbird, Kenton and Marydel. Brown won the polling locations in Hartly and Camden-Wyoming.
Newlin and Brown were facing off to be the Democratic candidate for the 11th District, which was moved from the Wilmington area to the western portions of Kent and New Castle counties as a result of last year's redistricting process.
Prior to winning the primary, Newlin said if she were to be fortunate enough to win she would "hit the ground running going into the general election."
Newlin will now face off against Republican Jeffrey Spiegelman and Libertarian Margaret McKeown in the Tuesday, Nov. 6 General Election.
A native of Kent County, Newlin is the president of the Smyrna School Board and is the information technologies manager at the University of Delaware.
With a passion of serving, Newlin thinks the 11th District is a great opportunity to bring a new voice to the General Assembly and she hopes to be that voice. If elected, Newlin will fight for quality education, good-paying jobs for residents, the district's rural character and services for senior citizens and veterans.
"I know what's important in our community, both in Kent County as well as New Castle County," Newlin previously said. "I live in a community with a diverse workforce perspective as well as from an economic perspective, and I feel that I am a good candidate to represent the entire area."

Using cloth wipes with your cloth diapering system is very sensible and practical.
Disposable wipes are very costly and may contain undesirable chemicals. Parents spend an average of $200.00 on cold disposable wipes over a 30-month period.
Cloth wipes are extremely soft against your baby's delicate skin.
They are easy to use. Wet the cloth wipe with plain warm water, clean your baby's bum and toss the wipes into the diaper pail. Wash wipes with your cloth diapers on washday.
