I ♡ YOU and...
I know. I've been MIA. You know the drill: I'm STILL deep, DEEP in Revision Hell.
It's evil up in here, yo.
(eek. his forked tongue FREAKS me out! *shudder*)
(also, every time I see the Savage Chickens, I always think it says SAUSAGE chicken.)
Speaking of sausage and evil, I'm stress eating my way around the plot holes.
And maybe imbibing in a cocktail (or two).
Truth be told, I miss you.
Before I crawl back in my writing hole I need to share a few things with you:
1) Do yourself a favor, go read my (hilarious and brilliant) friend Kristen's blog post today, her Query Letter Manifesto (and tomorrow's part 2)...it's genius and SO, SO damn funny. If you like it, and I KNOW you will (pinky promise), please leave her a comment and click her little follow button. (tell her *hello* for me)
2) I know I am behind on all the generous and kind awards many of you have given me recently. I promise, I WILL get to them. I'm really trying to stay offline and finish these revisions, and all the linkage will take me some time. So, I promise I will get to them SOON. Thanks for understanding.
3) Here are a couple of pictures of my Halloween decorations, as promised (more to come next week...and I will also have pictures from the Halloween part we are attending this weekend.) I'm dorky and love to decorate for all the holidays....so this is a VERY small bit of what I have going on in the house right now (no time to download more right now):
|this is on the top of our grand piano
|Yes, she's creepy. Husband is afraid of her and won't go near her.
|in a hallway corner
4) Know that I read and LOVE every single comment and ♡ every single one of YOU. THANK YOU for visiting me and for being in the world.
How is YOUR writing going? Read anything mind-blowing lately? What are YOU doing this weekend?
(my weekend frolicking will be the BIG halloween costume party on Saturday night, and having company on Sunday for football. Otherwise, I'll be revising.)

I am also in revision hell. In that, I've read through it once and red penned the crap out of it, and now have to sit down at the computer and make all the changes, including figuring out the notes I wrote while on the elliptical and the ones that simply say "This chapter sucks."

I wish we had more Halloween decorations! Little by little, year after year, I'll build up our cache.
Hang in there with your revisions -- there's a line forming of peeps out here anxious to read your book :D
I just finished a short story that I'm pretty excited about, but waiting for feedback before I call it a success. Sometimes, the work I think is my most brilliant falls flat for the reviewers. (Go figure!)
Thinking of you, and wish we could share one of those yummy-looking green cocktails! One day!

Hey, Miss Lola, it's been too long. I've been away as well because life has been too frigging busy since I published in February, and seemingly busier by the week. I keep wanting to quit my day job, but wifey says no; apparently the kids like eating far too much. Lord knows I would be a wreck if I couldn't shop iTunes nearly every week. ;)
Take care,

- My name is Lola. (I'm not a showgirl) Yes, L-O-L-A Lola. It's the least of my worries. Let's move on, shall we? This blog is mostly about my misadventures on the journey to publication and beyond. My passion for lush prose, quirky characters, art, music, literature, performing arts and anything creative will be a major theme here. This journey of mine will not always be pretty. Much like rubbernecking a train wreck, I know sometimes you just can't help but look at the carnage that is often my life. So strap on your neck brace, helmet and 5-point harness and come along for the ride! Licentia poetica.

Sept. 27, 2003
With 119 team points, the women's cross country team finished second at the Iona Meet of Champions held in Bronx, New York.
Yale's Melissa Donais was the Bulldog's fastest runner on the day, finishing with a time of 22:14.4, good for 9th place among the collegiate runners.
Yale's other top finishers included Cara Kiernan with a time of 22:27.6 in 13th place, Rebecca Hunter in 29th with a time of 23:04.8, Nadia Sawicki in 31st at 23:06.9, and Alex Sawicki in 37th place with a time of 23:13.1.
Princeton University easily won the meet with just 26 team points, but the Bulldogs placed well above the third place finishers from Pittsburgh with 181 points.

In a last-ditch attempt to thwart a Texas Education Agency takeover, the Beaumont Independent School District filed for a restraining order barring the state agency from intervening at the school district after state investigators identified multiple egregious "failures" on the part of the BISD Superintendent Timothy Chargois and the BISD Board of Trustees in fiscal responsibility and oversight – costing taxpayers and students of BISD millions of dollars in losses. Filed on behalf of the school district as a whole, BISD Board of Trustees President Gwen Ambres and BISD Board of Trustees Vice President Janice Brassard in both their official capacity on the school board and as residents and taxpayers of Beaumont, Houston lawyer Chris Tritico filed an argument with the Travis County District Court in Austin asking that the district court grant the plaintiffs "declaratory judgment, (a) temporary restraining order, temporary injunction and permanent injunctions."
In the preamble to the court when requesting the provisions, the plaintiffs assert that both Ambres and Brassard are elected to the positions they hold – but Brassard's elected service ran out last year. Some members of the BISD Board of Trustees, such as Tom Neild, question why only Ambres and Brassard were named in the litigation, as the entirety of the Board of Trustees secured Tritico's services when it was decided in a 5-2 vote to ire the Houston-based attorney with a $50,000 retainer fee.
According to TEA spokesperson DeEtta Culbertson, "Beaumont ISD's request for a temporary restraining order was heard in 261st State District Court (on Wednesday, May 14). Judge Lora Livingston heard arguments." Culbertson said that part of plaintiff's arguments were disposed of right away, but BISD attorneys would not receive a complete ruling on the matter until the end of the week.
Ambres and Brassard claimed through their BISD-billed attorney that TEA Commissioner Michael Williams "violated the Texas Education Code in an attempt to achieve an improper purpose" when determining that BISD's accreditation status warranted "Accredited - Probation" and installation of a Board of Managers to take over the duties of the ruling Board of Trustees; and the lawsuit was necessary "to stop imminent and irreparable harm occurring as the result of the Commissioner's actions."
It was further alleged in the court filing that, "The Commissioner has deprived BISD of the statutory procedural due process," and erred in reassigning BISD's accreditation. TEA's Culbertson reported that, "In regard to the record review on lowering the district's accreditation…Judge Livingston denied the Beaumont ISD's TRO request.
"The judge has given the district until (Thursday, May 15) to produce any additional documents for the record review. (Livingston) has not ruled on the TRO request on the Board of Managers and asked for letter briefs."
Livingston is expected to make a determination on the remaining litigation requests as this newsprint circulates. Updates will be provided at www.theexaminer.com [3] as they become available.

MANLIUS – The Erie-Prophetstown Panthers came into Manlius Friday night with one thing on their minds: Breaking a 16-game losing streak to Bureau Valley that predates the creation of the EP co-op.
The Panthers got the job done, taking an early 8-0 lead and never looking back in a 42-29 win, spoiling the Storm's homecoming while improving to 4-1 on the season. Bureau Valley fell to 1-4.
The story of the game was offense.
The Storm never figured out a way to stop the Panther running attack, led by senior Nick Williams, who rushed for 342 of the Panthers' 529 yards of total offense on 39 carries.
Williams' night was highlighted by scoring runs of 45, 48 and 53 yards.
"Our offensive line has been playing at a high level all year," Erie-Prophetstown coach Chuck Milem said. "Our fullback gets a lot of credit for it, but our offensive line is playing at a very high level. Owen McConnell is our anchor there at right guard, and Ken Cole at left guard. They've been pretty good."
The game started with a flurry,
as the Storm answered the
Panthers' first score with a
Parker Neuhalfen touchdown run of 64 yards on the first play after the ensuing kickoff.
Tommy Johnston got the Storm within one with the PAT kick.
After the teams exchanged scores, EP's Ethan Howard gave his team some breathing room in the opening minute of the second quarter with a 10-yard scoring run.
After a calm in the offensive barrage, the Panthers looked to have the game won when Chris Bauer scored from 5 yards out with 3:49 left to play.
But the Storm tried to come back, as Neuhalfen hit
Johnston for 41 yards with 3 minutes left in the game.
Neuhalfen was also good to Jake Smith for the two-point conversion to draw his team within seven at 30-23.
The Panthers fell on the ball on the onside kick by Bureau Valley, and then sealed the
victory on Williams' 53-yard scoring scamper.
The Storm still didn't give up, scoring once more with 1:41 left as Neuhalfen hit Smith. The Storm tried another onside kick, but the Panthers recovered.
"I really thought that we played harder than heck," BV coach Jeff Ohlson said. "If you take out the fourth quarter, it was basically a one-possession game from the first quarter to the fourth quarter."
Ohlson is not ready to give up on his team or the season.
"We've got four games left," he said. "If we come out and play those four games like I know that we can, good things will happen. By any means, we have not lost anything until that final whistle blows. We've lost to quality people. We have to get good things done in practice and go from there."

Oct 13 (Reuters) - Hip and spine bone mineral density increased significantly among post-menopausal women on Merck & Co's experimental new osteoporosis drug who had previously taken a standard older company treatment, the drugmaker said on Saturday.
The favorable results were seen in a mid-stage trial of Merck's odanacatib, a once-weekly pill which works by blocking an enzyme called cat-K found within bone cells. The enzyme plays a key role in the body's natural process of dissolving bone tissue.
The study involved 243 women with osteoporosis who had previously been treated for at least three years with alendronate, the chemical name of Merck's Fosamax drug. It belongs to an older class of medicines called bisphosphonates whose sales have been hurt by rare reports of leg fractures and deterioration of jaw bone in patients taking them.
"Odanacatib may be a viable alternative for patients who need continued therapy and who want benefits beyond what they received from bisphosphonates," senior Merck research executive Albert Leung said in an interview, referring to favorable data from the new trial.
Patients were given 50-milligram weekly doses of odanacatib, or a placebo, for 24 months. All patients also received vitamin D3 and calcium supplements, if needed.
At the end of the study, bone mineral density was shown to increase by a statistically significant degree at three pre-specified hip sites, including a 0.83 percent increase for the total hip. That compared with a 1.87 percent decline in bone mineral density for the total hip among patients receiving placebos.
Bone mineral density increased by 2.28 percent at the lumbar spine among those taking odanacatib, compared with a 0.3 percent decrease for patients on placebos. There was no difference between the odanacatib and placebo groups in changes of bone mineral density in the forearm.
The overall incidence of side effects were similar between the two treatment groups.

Energized by a turnout of hundreds of thousands on the National Mall, pro-abortion activists are looking to the November presidential elections to reverse what they see as the gradual chipping away of women's reproductive rights (search).
From across the nation and from nearly 60 countries, women marched Sunday with their daughters, mothers, husbands and others in support of the Supreme Court's 1973 Roe v. Wade (search) ruling that made abortion legal.
That ruling, they say, is under attack by the Bush administration. So too, they worry is a broader scope of women's health issues, including equal access to birth control and sex education.
The rally stretched from the base of the U.S. Capitol about a mile back to the Washington Monument. While authorities no longer give formal crowd estimates, various police sources informally gauged the throng at between 500,000 and 800,000 people. That would exceed the estimated 500,000 who converged on Washington for the last major pro-abortion rally in 1992.
Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (search) of New York urged marchers to vote in big numbers on Nov. 2 to evict an administration "filled with people who disparage sexual harassment laws, who claim the pay gap between women and men is phony ... who consider Roe v. Wade the worst abomination of constitutional law in our history."
From women's rights to the environment and other issues, feminist author Gloria Steinem accused the administration of squandering the outpouring of international good will after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. "This government is the greatest danger on earth," she declared.
Organizers set up voter registration tables, and supporters of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (search) handed out stickers.
Stirring anger and fear among abortion-rights supporters are two pieces of legislation President Bush (search) has signed into law in the past six months. The first is a ban on what critics call partial-birth abortion; the other is the first federal law to endow a fetus with legal rights distinct from the pregnant woman.
After opening speeches near the Washington Monument, the crowd marched along Pennsylvania Avenue, and then looped back to the Mall near the Capitol.
A much smaller number of anti-abortion activists lined several blocks along the march route. From behind steel barricades and under the watchful eye of police, they prayed and chanted "shame on you" as they waved giant posters showing a fetus at eight weeks.
Ashley Judd, Allison Janney, Susan Sarandon and other Hollywood celebrities shared the stage later with politicians, diplomats and leaders of the pro-choice movement.
Holding a white hanger, Whoopi Goldberg told the crowd: "Never again will this be the choice of any woman in our hemisphere."
"There is a war going on," she said. "It's not the war we see on TV. It's a war on women."
Carole Mehlman, 68, traveled from Tampa, Fla., to participate in the rally.
"I just had to be here to fight for the next generation and the generation after that," she said. "We cannot let them take over our bodies, our health care, our lives."
Andrea Fleming, a senior in college, came from Orrville, Ohio, with her mother. She said the right to choose is a guarantee that must not be taken away. "I don't think anybody believes abortion is a good thing, but making it illegal isn't going to stop it," she said.

Oopsie...so sorry! My fab uploader Christy brought it to my attention that I misspelled the word ninth on one of the It's Elementary, My Dear Brads. So, here's the link to the corrected asset. Also, for those who download the bundle in the future, it has been corrected there.
Yep...gotta love having a typo in my very first Pixel Scrapper kit.
Well...talk about humbling. A dear friend of mine noted that I spelled photography wrong in my "A Bouquet of Freshly Sharpened Pencils - Word Snippets" kit. It was spelled it photgraphy...such a silly typo and incredibly ironic considering I'm a photographer. Anywhoo...the correction has been made in the kit. The individual elements haven't yet been uploaded, but as soon as it's available, I'll go ahead and post the link here. My sincerest apologies!

T he soft plink of tennis balls ricocheting off rackets filled the air on a recent Sunday afternoon at the high-end condominium development here called White Pines, sitting on a hilltop with stunning views of the surrounding Berkshire ridge lines. A sense of moneyed exclusivity wafts though the air now, but the soundtrack was once much different.

Daniel, a 15 year old male from SIngapore asks on September 10, 2005,
viewed 16883 times
No one has yet made an effective gamma ray reflector. It is much easier to "stop" gamma rays than to bounce them backwards. Since several methods of detecting gamma rays don't entirely stop them, but merely cause them to lose some energy, it's possible to chart the course of a gamma ray with multiple observations, thus giving (somewhat crudely) a direction from which it came.
It would be highly useful to actually be able to image gamma rays directly, as when using a lens or mirror with light. Since reflection seems to be out of the question, refraction (bending) remains. There are some technologies under development that could be applied to future imaging gamma ray satellites. The main problem is that gamma rays are hard to bend -- most techniques only manage to slightly alter their direction. As a result, focal lengths from a "gamma ray lens" to a detector must be huge with currently proposed techniques -- hundreds of meters to thousands of kilometers! This is too large for an individual spacecraft, but could be achieved by spacecraft flying in formation, one with a detector, one with a lens.
You can read about one effort at the web pages of the European Space Agency.

Ferris State University landed another highly-successful coach from the Grand Rapids area when Charlette Muller was appointed to an assistant coaching position in the women's basketball program under head coach Colleen Lamoreaux-Tate.
Muller served as the program's full-time assistant coach in 2012-13 before settling into a role as a volunteer assistant.
Muller spent the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons as the varsity head
coach at Grand Rapids Christian High School where she led the
Eagles to back-to-back regional finals appearances and a 44-5
(.900) overall record. Her final team in 2010-11 claimed a
second consecutive district championships and a second Ottawa-Kent
(OK) White Conference crown before bowing out to Lamoreaux-Tate's
Grand Rapids Catholic Central team in the regional title game.
"I'm extremely excited to have Charlette on our staff," said Lamoreaux-Tate. "I've known her for nearly 20 years and we've always stayed connected. She brings loyalty and a great knowledge for the game. It's a really great combination."
In 14 seasons as a head coach or junior varsity coach of highly-successful West Michigan prep and college programs, Muller developed a track record for winning, graduating student-athletes and developing talent. She won 90 percent of her games as a varsity head coach and was the 2010 Associated Press Class A State Coach of the Year.
In her head coaching tenure at Grand Rapids Christian, Muller coached seven all-conference players and had eight student-athletes claim academic all-conference recognition.
Muller's first team at Grand Rapids Christian in 2009-10 compiled a 22-2 overall record with her second team notching a 22-3 mark in 2010-11.
Before becoming a head coach on the prep level at her alma mater, Muller served as Grand Rapids Christian's assistant varsity coach under Al VandenBosh for five seasons (2004-09). She helped GR Christian assemble a 56-game conference winning streak, which was the longest in school history.
Prior to her stint with the Eagles, Muller was an assistant varsity coach at East Grand Rapids under Lamoreaux-Tate from 1999-2004. In her time with the Pioneers, she also was the junior varsity coach and helped developed players who eventually made two Michigan High School Athletic Association (MHSAA) Final Four appearances.
"This is a wonderful opportunity for me to return to the college game and I'm thrilled to be working with Colleen again," Muller said. "Colleen was one of the premier coaches at the high school level and was always running a college-level program. She has a way with student-athletes that is a lost art and it's a fantastic atmosphere that I'm ecstatic to be part of at Ferris State."
Muller is no stranger to the college ranks as she was a junior varsity coach at Aquinas College from 1995-97 and served in the same capacity at Calvin College from 1997-99 before making the move to the prep level.
A member of the Basketball Coaches Association of Michigan (BCAM), Muller earned a bachelor's degree in business administration from Aquinas College. She played basketball for the Saints under Patti Tabaldi and was a two-time All-Wolverine Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) First Team selection.
Muller and her husband, Tim, reside in the Grand Rapids area along with their children Haley, Sydney, Cole and Isaac. Her husband has also served as an assistant coach alongside her at her previous coaching stops.

In a recent Times-News article, Henderson County Commissioner Larry Young is quoted as saying the Flat Rock Playhouse is "going to produce plays that the public around here can support, with no foul language or sex or anything like that. So we got that solved, too."
In a recent Times-News article, Henderson County Commissioner Larry Young is quoted as saying the Flat Rock Playhouse is "going to produce plays that the public around here can support, with no foul language or sex or anything like that. So we got that solved, too."
In a Times-News guest column, Robert Danos, former chairman of the Henderson County Republican Party, refers to those who say there has been "too much rough language in some shows in the past few years" and says, "The current leadership team has received that message clearly, and I can tell you that the 2013 season doesn't contain a single show I wouldn't watch with my own mother."
These gentlemen obviously don't see the irony in their statements. The Republican party in general and local Republicans in particular are hysterically vocal in their opposition to what they consider to be government control of any aspect of citizens' lives. However, both of these gentlemen see nothing wrong with censoring the productions of the Flat Rock Playhouse and dictating the type of plays that are performed there.
This is from members of the party that decries government regulations of any kind and that invokes the Second Amendment with a howl whenever anyone suggests there should be some restrictions on the purchase of guns in a country in which more gun deaths per 100,000 population occur each year than in any other advanced industrialized nation on Earth, and four times as many as in the next 22 high-income countries combined in 2003, according to the World Health Organization (Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery, January 2011).
Those who would censor Playhouse productions can't have it both ways. The question of what type of plays the Playhouse performs is a matter of freedom, the same freedom that Republicans routinely bray so loudly about. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the one before their hallowed Second, guarantees freedom of speech. That freedom includes the right to perform plays some people might find offensive. Those who do not want to attend theatrical performances that contain "sex" or "foul language" can choose not to do so.
There are those who do choose to see such performances. They understand and appreciate that the world's greatest dramatic works, including those by the great Greek and Roman playwrights, Shakespeare and the Elizabethans, the authors of English Restoration comedy, and the writers of classic 20th-century American plays, hold a mirror up to nature and reflect on stage the realities of the world in which we live, no matter how absurd, harsh or ugly those realities happen to be. Anyone who doesn't want to see these realities depicted on the stage can choose not to see them.
In Mr. Danos' column, the movies "The Godfather" and "Braveheart" are cited as being acceptable, but the plays "Art," "A Few Good Men" and "Red" are labeled offensive. In other words, cinematic depictions of war, violence, bloodshed, mayhem and murder are OK, but a little sex or "rough" language on stage is not. That logic, or lack thereof, reflects the same mentality that is offended by Michelangelo's David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Playhouse censors apparently don't see the similarity between this mentality and that of dictatorial regimes like the Taliban and Stalinist Russia. It is interesting that our local controversy has occurred at a time when a Russian art exhibit, banned for 50 years (since the Khrushchev era), is being seen in Russia for the first time. Considering these two events, it appears that Russia is making progress in the realm of freedom while Hendersonville is regressing rapidly in that regard.
The American Library Association regularly publishes a list of books that have been banned or challenged in the U.S. For the 2000-2009 10-year period, the following titles were among the top 100 books on that list: the "Harry Potter" books, "Of Mice and Men," "Huckleberry Finn," "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Slaughterhouse Five," "Fahrenheit 451," "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings," "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest," "In the Night Kitchen" and "Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret." The repressive mentality that seeks to ban these books rivals that of the Soviet era and of today's Iran and North Korea, which bans the Christian Bible. This mentality, just as that depicted in Orwell's "1984," says, "You'll do things my way or no way at all. I'll decide what you can and can't say, see, hear or do."
Those who would censor Flat Rock Playhouse productions do not represent the views of everyone in the Hendersonville area, and the would-be censors do not have the right to dictate the artistic standards of this community. Flat Rock Playhouse has the constitutional right, indeed the duty, to perform the best works of world drama, regardless of their content and regardless of whether they are offensive to some individuals.
As for Playhouse productions suitable for watching with one's mother, I would have taken my mother to see any of the three plays mentioned as being so offensive, and she would have understood and appreciated them for what they are: attempts in a free country to address in dramatic form the conflicts and struggles that are part of the human condition.

Bigger Better Bass
Photos by Tony Cordoza What do these ten subwoofers, ranging from $399 to $1,690 in price, from 8 to 15 inches in Driver size, and from 1 to 5 cubic feet in overall size, have in common? They were submitted in response to our call for subwoofers that would appeal to a music lover or home theater enthusiast looking to replace his current sub with one that offers fuller, deeper bass at a reasonable price.
And you will find some true values here - subwoofers that can go unusually low, achieve unusually high sound-pressure levels, use unusually small cabinets, or offer first-rate performance at an unusually low price. But impressive spec sheets and handsome product brochures can't tell the whole tale, so I carefully listened to and tested each sub before deciding which ones are the real bargains. (I even measured the enclosure dimensions myself, sometimes coming up with figures different from the Manufacturers' specs - usually larger because I included grilles and protrusions like output terminals.) See page 100 for an explanation of the test procedures and the lab measurements not given in the write-ups on the individual subs.
When it comes to features, all of these subs have the basics, like line-level inputs, a volume and phase control, a variable-frequency electronic crossover, an internal amplifier, and a long power cord. Most turn on automatically when an input signal is sensed and shut down when there's no signal for several minutes. It's the less common features - like additional line inputs, speaker-level inputs, filtered speaker-level outputs, and a crossover bypass (so you can use the bass management in your receiver or preamp) - that help some models stand out from the pack.
Like you, I was primarily concerned with how these subs performed. You'd expect them to do well in the midbass. The big question is, can they go nice and low - into the 25-Hz region of synth bass lines, bass-drum thwacks, and action-movie explosions - and still provide smooth, even sound at a decent volume? That's what separates the men from the boys in the big, bold world of subwoofers.

White Papers and Application Notes
Multiphysics Simulation of Thermoelectric Systems - Modeling of Peltier-Cooling and Thermoelectric GenerationM. Jaegle
Fraunhofer-Institute for Physical Measurement-Techniques (IPM), Freiburg, Germany
Electro-thermal interaction is commonly considered only as a matter of joule heating. In addition, the Seebeck-, Peltier- and Thompson-Effects are significant in materials with high thermoelectric figure of merit Z. These thermoelectric materials have a high Seebeck-coefficient α, a good electric conductivity σ, and a poor thermal conductivity λ. They have widespread areas of application. Thermoelectric systems are used for measurement techniques, for peltier-cooling and direct energy conversion of heat. For an accurate modeling of these applications the thermoelectric field equations have to be solved.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the sixth straight season the MIT women's lacrosse team qualified for the Intercollegiate Women's Lacrosse Coaches Association (IWLCA) Merit Squad as it posted the third-highest GPA of 56 programs. Bryn Mawr College led the way with a total of 3.49, followed by the University of Rochester (3.453), and the Engineers (3.4).
Individually, Laura Watson earned her second selection to the Academic Honor Roll as Stephanie Brenman and Lily He were first-time honorees. Since the inception of MIT's women's lacrosse program in 1993, the Engineers have had at least one award winner every season.
New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foes Mount Holyoke College, Wellesley College, and Wheaton College were named to the Division III Honor Squad and each had one representative on the Academic Honor Roll.

I don't think think the blur or focus issue is an issue. The fur is soft which I like. Very sharp portraits are murder on the subjects, every facial hair, zit and wrinkle is perfect! (not good). I soften portraits by stretching panty hose over the lens hood. Works better than any filter I have tried.
very nice photo of the cat. I agree, the soft look is better for this shot. The pantyhose idea is a good one. Now, you did say it goes over the hood and not the cat, Right?
INMHO, most folks want to see themselves as how they think they look, not how they really look. If you want to try it, take a technically "perfect" photo of your wife/ girlfriend/ significant other with everything in perfect focus and then another with the panty hose stretched over the lens hood. 9 times out of 10, the first one gets deleted, unless they are a dog or cat. I find it much safer to photograph my dogs/dragons/snakes/birds than my wife. Everyone is much happier
I absolutely love cats and cat photos. I have one cat ( but he lives with my parents right now). I'll post some photos when I get a chance to take some with my new digi cam.
Here is an old pic of him taken with a really old digi cam- a Polaroid PDC 640
Here is an extreme closeup of my cat taken with my new SD500 in macro mode.

Saitek Cyborg 5.1 Headset Review
Most of us have been berated for having the volume on our computers too loud while we game, watch movies, or listen to music. Is there an affordable headset solution for this, but without losing the quality of sound? Yes - a 5.1 surround sound headset is exactly what we're looking for. Could this be something that can give us the same, if not better, sound quality than that of our speakers, but only be heard by our own ears?
Saitek has just released the Cyborg 5.1 surround sound gaming headset. This headset claims to have true 5.1 surround sound capabilities. Will this claim hold true? Or will it just be another run-of-the-mill headset? Let's put the Saitek Cyborg 5.1 surround sound gaming headset on and thoroughly investigate what it can do!
Closer Look:
The Saitek Cyborg 5.1 headset is packaged is partly revealed in its packaging. On the front, as well as the back, you'll find key features of the Cyborg headset. There are multiple languages on the back of the box; the more languages the better, because it potentially reaches a larger audience.
When you pull the Saitek Cyborg headset from the box, you'll notice that it's in half of a case. You'll find the other half holding the CDs and instructions.
The Saitek Cyborg 5.1 headset has a software CD, user manual, a list of worldwide technical support information for Saitek and the microphone for the headset.
Now let's take a closer look at the Saitek Cyborg 5.1 headset itself.

President Barack Obama took his second presidential oath on Monday, having been re-elected to the most-powerful office in the world.
President Barack Obama took his second presidential oath on Monday, having been re-elected to the most-powerful office in the world.
Whatever your political leanings, it would be unpatriotic to wish Obama anything less than the best as he embarks on his second four-year term.
We can bicker about political policy and which direction we prefer for the nation, but part of what has kept us free and thriving for more than two centuries is Americans' enduring respect for our cherished institutions.
That is not always easy.
Political differences can drive us apart to the point where we openly question the legitimacy of our officeholders.
In the long run, that behavior weakens all of us and our nation.
In a representative government, no one is going to get his or her way all the time. Each party wins some and loses some.
Our government is purposely designed to play various groups against one another rather than making it easy to advance political agendas.
Checks and balances within our institutions are set up to keep one party or the other from getting elected and enacting an extreme set of changes.
Instead, each party must work with the other, compromise and get some measure of its ultimate goals through the process.
Accusations of partisanship and gridlock have been leveled recently against both political parties, and there is some truth to all of them. But that spirit of intransigence seems to have intensified in recent years with each party being all but unwilling to even listen to the concerns of the other party.
In the rare cases when the parties have to work together — such as the recent "fiscal cliff" compromise — they generally can find enough common ground to work in unison for the entire nation.
That spirit of cooperation would be useful in the coming years. Neither the Democrats nor the Republicans can lay claim to an American mandate. The American voters sent both parties back to Washington in the recent elections, and we all expect and deserve for our officials to work together.
We are not naive enough to think that will happen in every instance, but America's people and businesses need to be able to trust that our leaders are concerned with their priorities, not those of the two parties.
Welcome back to office, President Obama. Please use the weeks, months and years ahead to extend or accept a working relationship with the other side of the aisle — for the good of the nation.

All News Releases By Date
Good Reason for Thanks: EPA Grants Help New England
Release Date: 11/25/2008
Contact Information: David Deegan, (617) 918-1017
(Boston, Mass. - Nov. 25, 2008) – Over $380,000 is being awarded to New England programs, promoting ongoing environmental and public health initiatives. The grants are part of EPA's 2008 Healthy Communities Grant Program.
The 14 grants, totaling $380,426, will fund projects working to reduce environmental risk, protect and improve human health, and improve the quality of life for communities across New England.
EPA's Healthy Communities Grant Program joins resources from nine EPA programs to strategically address environmental and public health issues burdening New England communities. Funding is used to restore or revitalize the environment; provide education, outreach, and training; and organize and conduct community planning activities.
"Especially in these tough economic times, EPA is very proud to be able to help out local programs that are helping to improve peoples' health and our environment," said Robert Varney, regional administrator of EPA's New England office. "Working together, we're making great progress for a cleaner environment and healthier communities."
The grants were awarded to the following recipients:
The Connecticut Department of Public Health was awarded $35,000 for the "Building a Statewide Comprehensive, Sustaining Tools for Schools Program" project. This effort will help 90 schools in Connecticut improve the indoor air quality of the school environment for children by implementing Tools for Schools, providing training for school staff, and other activities to reduce exposure to asthma triggers and create healthy indoor learning environments.
Ledge Light Health District was awarded $19,232 for the "Comprehensive Asthma Project". This work will provide comprehensive environmental and clinical care to 30 families and training to over 150 coaches to address pediatric asthma in New London County through education, outreach, intervention and training to benefit children diagnosed with asthma.
The Connecticut Coalition for Environmental Justice was awarded $12,750 for the "Get Hartford Recycling" project. The project will create a Speakers Bureau to educate Hartford residents on the benefits of recycling, how to dispose of hazardous waste, will increase in the amount of materials recycled in the city and reduce the total waste and hazardous waste burned in local incinerators.
The Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians was awarded $28,000 for their "Asthma Healthy Homes Initiative". The project will develop a culturally appropriate healthy homes education and outreach program that will also include home visits for families with asthmatics to assure that tribal families have the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to improve their asthma self management and quality of life.
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head was awarded $25,000 for the "Lead-Free Fishing Outreach" project. This effort will provide education, outreach and compliance assistance activities to raise awareness of lead-free alternatives to traditional fishing weights reaching at least 3,000 individuals through local tackle shops, and through high visibility events including the Martha's Vineyard Striped Bass and Bluefish Derby.
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head was awarded $33,000 for the "Environment and Natural Resources Outreach Kiosk". The project will create an interactive, educational kiosk which will provide local residents and visitors to tribal lands an understanding of environment and public health issues, current projects to protect and restore natural resources, compliance assistance efforts, and information on the Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head.
The Wampanoag Tribe of Gay Head was awarded $14,330 for the "Hazardous Materials & Multi-Casualty Incident Training" project. This work will coordinate an island-wide, multi-agency training, response activity, and table top demonstration of a hazardous materials scenario on or near Tribal lands to allow agencies, emergency responders and the tribe to develop an effective response protocol which protects ecological and tribal health.
The Pioneer Valley Asthma Coalition was awarded $34,594 for the "Building Asthma Safe Environments" project.

Missy still missing in montreal
Thank you to all of you who wrote words of encouragement about Missy's disappearance. We posted on all the missing animal and shelter sites. We also posted on Craig List and local classifieds. We put posters up over a large area, on the street, the vets, the businesses and the pet shops. we registered her with the local pound and also a couple of others. A Montreal company that offers emergency services for animals posted Missy's disappearance on their Facebook page and sent it to their over 800 friends including vets and shelters. We contacted the companies that have the contract to pick up wounded and dead animals, they told us that they would have contacted us if she was still wearing her ID tags. We went door to door in the neighborhood, spoke to people and left posters in their mailboxes. We had quite a few responses but it was never Missy but other cats that looked like her. We are brokenhearted that such a loyal, sweet and adored household member could disappear this way. We always assumed that we would spoil her in her old age and that she would be at home with us until the end. But we haven't given up. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR MISSY. I'm including a couple more photos, I finally found one with her eyes open...she has the habit of closing her eyes when she sees a camera.
Thank you for caring
I hope you find Missy soon. So glad you haven't given up on her. One day she's just likely to stroll up to the house as if nothing happened and you'll never know her adaventure story!

Why the hell not? It looks like Sonar Entertainment and Panacea Entertainment are teaming up to create a new TV series based on the "Hellraiser" franchise. Nothing has actually been written or sold to anyone but if all goes well you'll be seeing Pinhead on Fox Family next Fall.
The "Leprechaun" reboot is finally getting some traction today, dropping the news that it will be titled "Leprechaun: Origins" and has a little leading man in the form of Hornswoggle. Apparently that's a wrestler and I have no idea what his real name is but based on the amount of twitter action I saw this past Sunday during Wrestlemania 95% of our readers have semis right now.
I don't know about you but I loved "The Woman in Black". I want to open mouth kiss it at inspiration point. So now I'm excited for the three way I'm going to have in the back of my Honda CRV because a sequel has just been announced. "The Woman in Black: Angels of Death" will pick up 40 years after the first film and is being penned by Jon Croker who worked as the story editor on the first film. Alright I know you can't have sex with a movie. A guy can dream though can't he?
Get excited, kids! "We Need to Talk About Kevin", everyone's favorite "my son is an asshole" flick is coming to Blu-Ray and DVD on May 29th. That's all I got. Please tip your waiter.
Listen up you little white trash toddlers! Here's a story about a Louisiana man who died at a Wrestlemania party this past weekend after his cousin put him in a choke hold. I have no idea how you little scamps are still alive.
And here without further adieu is the greatest Juggalo freestyle of all time.

While goalies don't have to move a considerable distance across the ice, they do need to be nimble between the posts. With lightweight goalie pads, goalies can block a larger fraction of the net. In addition, goalie pads provide players with necessary protection from the ice and from incoming pucks.
Reebok P4 Goalie Series from Reebok are among the best goalie pads available. These lightweight pads are designed to offer increased flexibility and reduced fatigue. With these pads, goalies can easily go down to their knees to block a shot and get back up without missing a beat.
For added comfort, Reebok Larceny L9 Sr. Goalie Pads are made with memory foam so the pads conform to the contours of a goalie's legs. At Great Skate Hockey Supply Company, we have a wide selection of goalie pads in many different styles. Many of the goalie pads we carry, like Vaughn Vision GP9450 and Reebok P4 Sr. Goalie Pads, include a boot channel for increased protection.
In addition to having a large selection of goalie pads, we also have the hockey bags necessary for you to carry your equipment. Our goalie bags, like the ReFlex 9 goalie bag from Bauer, can help you organize your accessories, skates, and pads.
For help deciding which goalie pads are right for your size and level of play, call toll free at 1.800.828.7496, or visit us at www.greatskate.com.

Northern Maine family offers cash, gallon of gin for recovery of stolen vintage canoe
ALLAGASH, Maine (AP) — A northern Maine family is offering an unusual reward for the return of a vintage canoe stolen a month ago.
Darlene Kelly Dumond of Allagash says the family is offering $250 and a gallon of gin for any information leading to the recovery of what she calls a family heirloom.
The canoe that belonged to her father, Tyler Kelly, was last seen tied up at the village's public landing on Aug. 12.
Kelly, now 75 and retired, was a well-known guide and riverman who used to race canoes.
His daughter tells the Bangor Daily News (http://bit.ly/Pi9SO6 ) the unusual reward was thought up by a friend who figured a gallon of gin would spark some interest in the dry town.
The Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is investigating.
