What students learn in Future Farmers of America (FFA) doesn't just aid them in high school, it's education they can take with them for their future careers.
A major component of FFA education is learning from hands-on experience, including a supervised agricultural experience (SAE) project.
"We have some kids who have some pretty amazing SAE projects," said Brandi Boyd, agricultural education instructor and FFA advisor at Clarke Community High School.
Boyd, who currently has 38 students working on SAE projects, said the projects also help students learn about record keeping and financial management.
"They'll all have their own focus," Boyd said.
In SAE projects, there are many degrees, or levels of advancement, students can achieve, including the Greenhand, Chapter, State (Iowa) and American degrees.
"Hopefully, what it's teaching these kids is that they'll be able to use these skills in the real world," Boyd said.
Clarke senior Ashley Jackson achieved her Iowa degree last year. This year, she will be competing against other students who have a project similar to hers.
Jackson's SAE project includes documenting what she's learned about working on her family farm.
"Everybody being involved — doing their part — is a really important part of her SAE," Boyd said. "What she does is, her responsibility is a lot of record keeping, but, then, also, she focuses on taking care of baby calves and the horses."
Here are other Clarke students who are currently working on their SAE projects:
Tiffany McKnight
McKnight said she wants to be an equine trainer when she's older. Right now, she's training three horses and giving lessons to their owners.
"These skills will help me because I am getting experience with all the different types of horses that are out there," she said. "Basically, that's kind of how I'm going to progress to be an equine trainer."
As for challenges, McKnight said she's encountered problems with scheduling and horse training.
"For instance, one of the horses was rearing up and trying to attack me," she said. "So, I had to go to other trainers and ask for advice."
McKnight said one of the most important things she's learned is how to make a bond with the horses, as well as the owners.
Kooper Brimm
Brimm's SAE project includes international relations by working at an orphanage and building houses in Haiti.
"This kind of ties into agriculture because, also, while we were down there we were working on plowing fields and planting it with corn," Brimm said.
According to Brimm, Haitians will plant corn on any hill, including hills with 90-degree angles. He said one of the goals of traveling to Haiti is to help Haitians produce food for themselves.
Writing summaries and logging hours are also things Brimm has to do for his project.
"I learned not to take anything for granted," Brimm said, "and what we have, even though we might not think it's a lot, is actually a lot."
Jake Manternach
Manternach's project falls under the SAE job-placement category, and he is employed at Fareway. Manternach logs his hours for his project every time he works.
"At Fareway, everything in the store somehow relates to agriculture, whether it be the cardboard boxes that come in to produce," he said.
Manternach said what he wants to do in the future is something with food safety, similar to U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) meat inspection.
While Manternach might not be able to work in the store's meat department, he said his current job at the store is a good way to "get his foot in the door." He said he is learning important skills at Fareway.
"And you have to know to keep everything safe and clean, and that's a big part of everything," Manternach said.
Kaitlyn Boyer
Beef production is the focus of Boyer's SAE project. She has a small herd of Limousin cattle, and her family owns the business the Harvest Barn. The family also takes their beef and pork products to sell at Downtown Des Moines Farmers' Market.
"I get to help sell the beef directly to the consumer there, so that kind of helps me with the public-speaking skills," Boyer said.
According to Boyd, an important aspect of Boyer's SAE project is actually raising the products from the farm and providing it directly to the consumer.
Boyer said she also focuses on improving the genetics of her herd, including embryo transfers, artificial insemination and fertilization.
"When I get older, I'm definitely going to do something with beef and beef production — definitely with agriculture," Boyer said. "I like doing stuff with genetics, so I maybe want to look at becoming a geneticist, or just something with cattle."

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Mar. 8, 2005) - East Tennessee State senior catcher Caleb Moore (Knoxville, Tenn.) was named to the 2005 Johnny Bench Award watch list Tuesday by the Greater Wichita Area Sports Commission. Thirty-seven catchers from sixteen conferences make up the list for the award given to the nation's top collegiate catcher.
The watch list will be narrowed down to ten semi-finalists, whom will be announced May 17, 2005. A comprehensive biography will be created on each of the semi-finalists and sent to the national voting panel at the end of May for a vote to determine the three finalists. The finalists will be announced June 1, 2005 prior to the NCAA Regionals and Major League Baseball Draft. A final vote among the national committee will occur during the College World Series. All finalists will be brought to Wichita and the winner will be announced at the 8th Annual Greater Wichita Sports Banquet on June 29, 2005.
Johnny Bench presented Cal State-Fullerton catcher, Kurt Suzuki, with the award last June in Wichita, Kansas. Chris Iannetta of the University of North Carolina and Landon Powell of the University of South Carolina were the other finalists for the award.
Moore is looking to repeat on one of the best seasons in Southern Conference history, as he led the nation with a .455 batting average and .60 doubles per game in 2004. Moore also led the SoCon in slugging percentage (.752) and was second in on-base percentage (.509), third in total bases (152) and fourth in hits (92). In addition, Moore hit nine home runs with 45 RBIs and 59 runs scored. He also served as the Buccaneer closer last season, going 2-0 with six saves.
Following the season, Moore was named SoCon Player of the Year by the league's coaches and media and was a second-team Louisville Slugger All-American. Caleb was named as a first-team preseason Louisville Slugger All-American for the 2005 season.
Caleb has had a great start to the 2005 season, hitting .387 through ETSU's first nine games. He leads the team with three home runs and 14 RBIs and has also hit four doubles.
Moore has been dominant on the mound so far this season, going 2-0 with four saves in six appearances. He has allowed just three hits and no runs in seven innings pitched.
ETSU returns to action tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. as the Bucs host Samford from Cardinal Park in Johnson City, Tenn.

|Why does our website tell people's Chinese Zodiac Animal Sign different from the other sites?
Many Chinese horoscope sites determine people's Chinese astrological sign by the Chinese New Year's day. In Chinese astrology calendar, the first day of the year isn't the Chinese New Year's day, is the day of Start of Spring, which is the first day of the Tiger month. That means some people were born in January or February might be given a different answer from different Chinese astrology or horoscope sites.
Also, In Chinese astrology, the animal sign represents a person is from their birthday, not the birth year. We tell people's animal sign using their birthday and use the statement like "You are a Tiger and were born in year of Dragon". To find your horoscope sign is to click here.
More information about Chinese lunar calendar, please read
The Theory of Chinese Lunar Calendar.
|I wasn't born in January or February. Why my Chinese Zodiac Animal Sign is different from other sites?
In Chinese Astrology, the Chinese Zodiac Sign of birthday represents the person, not the Animal Sign from the birth year. You can see your Chinese Astrology Birth Chart from the Find Your Lucky Element and Balance Chart page. For example, 1970 is a White Dog Year. If you were born on June 15, 1970, then the page will say "You are Red Tiger (Day), born in the year of White Dog". Many Chinese Zodiac sites don't have Chinese Astrology Calendar, they don't know the Chinese Zodiac Sign of a birthday.
|Will be the Result of the Chinese Fortune-Telling Different Using Birth Year or Birthday?
They just use different angles to predict people's fortunes. The result will be similar. To use animal sign of birth year to do the fortune telling means we only have 12 types of person in the world. We have more combinations if using the birthday. Our site is a Chinese Five Elements astrology site. That means we tell people's fortune by Five Elements, not animals.
Using the birth year to tell fortune was far away before Chin Dynasty (221 B.C.), which is the first Dynasty in China. About a thousand years later, Chinese began to use birth year, month and day to predict the fortune during the Tang Dynasty (618 A.D.). To use birth year, month, day and hour to study the fortune like today started in Sung Dynasty (960 A.D.). The reason to make these changes is simple. It's more accurate. In Chinese astrology, the birth year zodiac sign contains the information about people's family background, public social relationship and image shown in the public. The people's internal personality, love and family relationship are from the zodiac sign of birth date.
The Chinese astrology treats the Sun is the center of the universe when the view is from the earth. The day is the time of the Sun. So the center point of the birth chart is on the day. Chinese use same Chinese character for day and sun.
The advantage to use birth year horoscope sign is the fortunetellers can tell people's fortune right away without a calendar. Therefore a fortuneteller won't lose a customer not knowing his or her birthday.
However, the horoscope information from the birth year is still very true and valuable. There is no reason to abandon it.

Houston executive caught in Grimm corruption case
WASHINGTON - A 47-year-old Houston businesswoman has become a key player in a potential public corruption case against U.S. Rep. Michael Grimm of New York, the fiery second-term Republican who came to national attention last week by threatening a journalist with bodily harm.
Diana Durand is scheduled to appear in federal court in Brooklyn on Feb. 12. She is expected to plead not guilty to three federal campaign finance-related charges lodged by federal prosecutors in connection with Grimm's campaign for Congress in 2010.
Durand attorney Stuart Kaplan says the charges are being used by the FBI and federal prosecutors to try to turn Durand against Grimm, her former boyfriend.
"There is no doubt that Diana Durand is of no interest to the government other than seemingly they would like to squeeze her to get something on Michael Grimm," Kaplan said in an interview. "Obviously Michael Grimm is a big fish. If they can make a case against a politician such as a congressman from New York it gets them a lot of attention and a lot of accolades."
Donations questioned
Durand, an executive with RelaDyne, a company that distributes lubricants and fueling products, allegedly choreographed more than $10,000 in donations to Grimm's campaign between March 2010 and October 2010 using so-called "straw donors" including foreign nationals, as well as donating the $4,800 maximum herself.
She also faces charges of illegally donating $4,800 to another congressman and lying to FBI agents about the donations when asked in an interview in June 2012.
Federal Election Commission records show Durand donated $9,800 in her own name to Grimm in New York, from 2009 to 2011, as well as thousands more to candidates in congressional races in California, Illinois, South Dakota and Virginia. None of the contributions were to Texas candidates.
Durand was arrested in mid-January on the charges by FBI agents from New York and Texas who picked her up at her tree-shrouded, three-bedroom brick home in far northwest Houston. She was taken to the federal courthouse in Houston to be formally advised of the charges which she will face in federal court in New York next month.
Durand could not be reached for comment, and the voicemail for her phone number was full.
She currently works as a Houston-based manager for the fueling division of a company that distributes lubricants and fueling products in Texas and Louisiana. Public records also indicate that she has been a board member or ranking officer, such as a vice president or director, for several Texas-based companies.
'Precarious situation'
"Unfortunately this poor woman is in a very precarious situation right now," said Kaplan, her lawyer. "She's a working mom, a single mom and this obviously has had a devastating impact on her and her life until she gets through this."
Grimm apparently met Durand before he ran for Congress, when he started a trucking company in Texas, Austin Refuel Transport, a fuel-hauling company headquartered in Houston. Durand's brother and sister-in-law were also executives in the firm, according to the New York Daily News.
The charges against her stem from a sworn statement by FBI Special Agent Geoffrey Ford, a member of a New York-based squad "tasked with conducting investigations into the activities of individuals and criminal groups responsible for public corruption."
Part of wider probe?
Federal authorities have already won the cooperation of Ofer Biton, an Israeli national who generated more than $500,000 in campaign contributions for Grimm from followers of Orthodox Rabbi Yosef Pinto. Biton pleaded guilty to visa fraud last August in a no-jail plea deal.
Federal authorities in New York declined to discuss whether the campaign finance case against Durand had become part of a wider probe into public corruption involving members of Congress.
"Congressman Grimm denies any wrongdoing, and we look forward to an early and favorable resolution of the investigation," said the lawmaker's attorney, William McGinley.
Grimm, 43, a former Marine and former FBI agent, verbally and physically confronted NY1 television reporter Michael Scotto last Tuesday night on Capitol Hill after an interview about President Barack Obama's State of the Union address.
Grimm stormed out of the interview when Scotto asked him about the ongoing campaign finance investigation by the Justice Department.
With the television camera still on, Grimm abruptly returned to berate Scotto, threatening to throw the reporter over a two-story balcony and to break him "in half," "like a boy."
The congressman apologized to Scotto the next day. "I was wrong," Grimm said in a written statement on Wednesday. "I shouldn't have allowed my emotions to get the better of me and lose my cool."
Scotto accepted the apology. U.S. Capitol Police announced Friday they would not pursue charges related to the incident.
Grimm faces investigations by both the Justice Department and the House Ethics Committee into allegations that he solicited and accepted banned contributions during his successful 2010 congressional campaign to unseat Rep. Michael McMahon, D-N.Y.
A former FBI agent who served undercover for two years in a sting operation that led to the arrest of more than 30 traders and brokers in 2003, Grimm was far behind McMahon in fundraising in the weeks before the 2010 election, according to the American Almanac of Politics.
Grimm faced an uphill political fight, having raised only $925,231 by mid-October compared to the incumbent's funds of $2.5 million.

Ricky Gervais doesn't understand why you're so afraid of him.
"People come up to me and say, 'Oh, I was scared to ask for your autograph in case you put me down,'" Gervais says in a hushed tone during a recent interview in New York. "No, no, I would never do that."
It's not difficult to understand this misperception. Ever since "The Office" catapulted him to global fame a dozen years ago, the writer, director, actor and professional provocateur has come to be synonymous with a brand of humor that, although never truly mean-spirited, is fueled by discomfort.

Release Date: March 26, 2013
BUFFALO, N.Y. — When architectural luminaries from around the world come to Buffalo this April for the Society of Architectural Historians annual conference, experts from the University at Buffalo will be on hand to introduce out-of-town guests to the marvels that make Buffalo unique, and to the innovative ways in which the city is planning for the future.
The annual meeting takes place April 10-14 at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center. It will bring hundreds of architectural historians, architects, planners, preservationists and media critics to Buffalo for five days of conversation, paper sessions and tours.
One important focus of the conference will be how Buffalo uses preservation as a tool for long-term urban, cultural and economic sustainability.
Faculty, staff and alumni from UB will be leading workshops, as well as expert-led tours of cultural treasures like Kleinhans Music Hall and the Hotel @ the Lafayette.
Despina Stratigakos, associate professor of architecture in the UB School of Architecture and Planning, is the conference's local co-chair with Tom Yots, executive director of Preservation Buffalo Niagara and an alumnus of UB's master of architecture program. Stratigakos, who joined UB in 2007, campaigned heavily for the Society of Architectural Historians (SAH) to come to Western New York.
"After arriving in Buffalo, I kept telling people elsewhere what an incredible city it is in terms of the architecture and the planning idea — the creative past and continuing spirit — and at a certain point, I realized that it really has to be seen, in a way, to be absorbed," she said. "Buffalo has many architectural gems, but more than that, there's a very interesting, radical history here of innovation."
Members of the public can register for the conference, or participate in individual events or tours for a fee. Online registration closes on Friday, March 29.
Some conference events led by members of the UB community:
— Robert Shibley, dean of UB's School of Architecture and Planning, is working with Catherine Schweitzer of the Baird Foundation to organize "Future Design Solutions for Buffalo," a roundtable discussion that will feature Pulitzer Prize-winning architectural critic Paul Goldberger and focus on the future of preservation in Buffalo, including what the city's next steps should be. Shibley will also introduce a full-day preservation seminar entitled, "The Sustainable Post-Industrial City: Using Buffalo's Architectural Legacy for Growth and Vitality."
— Kelly Hayes McAlonie, interim associate vice provost of UB's Capital Planning Group, will partner with developer Rocco Termini to deliver a tour of the Hotel @ the Lafayette. The hotel was originally designed by Buffalo's own Louise Bethune, the first woman admitted to the American Institute of Architects.
— Architect Theodore Lownie, who has taught senior and graduate design studios at UB's School of Architecture and Planning, and Denise Prince, a graduate of UB's Department of Visual Studies, will help lead a tour of Kleinhans Music Hall. Lownie, a partner in Hamilton Houston Lownie Architects, has been supervising the building's restoration, while Prince completed her master's thesis on the role of acoustics in the concert hall's design.
— UB Libraries is sponsoring a paper session titled "Modern Architecture and the Book," which investigates the use of the book to document, describe, promote and critique modern architecture from its inception at the end of the 19th century to its alleged death in the late 20th century.
Many other members of the UB community are involved in planning or presenting, and the UB School of Architecture and Planning is one of the conference's lead sponsors. The UB Libraries and UB Gender Institute are also local sponsors. Stratigakos encourages all interested Western New Yorkers to participate by attending some of the meeting's public events.
"SAH has never been to Buffalo in its 65 years of holding meetings, and the last time the conference was held in New York State was in the 1960s, so it's a big deal that this event is coming to town," she said.
"We feel it's very important for people who live and work in Buffalo to participate. People are coming from 25 countries around the world, and they're going to hear all about Buffalo and our projects and our challenges, and then they're going to take that home, back to their countries," Stratigakos said. "But we also want to be learning from them. There may be some really interesting preservation project going on in some other place that sparks ideas about better practices and alternative methods we could use here."

Linking to Myanimelist and the wikipedia should definitely be recommended too. As for blogs, I'm not strictly against linking to them as long as they provide useful (English) information that cannot be found in the standard sources yet. Which might happen in the early stages of planning. What I don't want is that people mistake the link list for some kind of fan site directory.
Mentioning the studio was in my original proposal but I took it out as you can see. At the moment. I'm opting for a minimal approach (what, when, where to look for further information) because I fear we might be opening a can of worms here. First the studio, then somebody wants the genres to be listed, then the target demographics, the director, etc. First, this defies the idea of this being just an overview. Second, somebody has to actually fill the information it. And second, this might trigger a death spiral: many empty fields -> people conclude that the project is dead -> more empty fields.
I'm not even sure if this project isn't already stillborn as it is. I already feel guilty that GHDpro puts so much work into this before we had more discussion. "I think this is a good idea" =/= "I will add information". And don't look at me, I already said in my opening post that in some seasons, I simply don't have the time. Whenever I complile a list, I will add it of course.
For images, see arguments above. Although it would certainly look nice if it works out. But it takes even more energy to add an image than to simply type in the studio. If we do this I'd suggest such a structure
And of course the logo must be a Kairin logo.

Whew, it took some effort, but I think I got the vBulletin integration nailed!
You should now be able to login with your AnimeSuki forum login, and when you look at the preferences, your email address should automatically be filled in.
There are a few things I'd like you to test/look out for though. First, make sure the wiki user id (as shown in preferences) is the same as your forum user id (as is used in the URL of your "member" page, which you can get to by clicking on your username in "Welcome, User" text near the upper-right corner).
Second, MediaWiki has some specific restrictions regarding usernames. It'll be interesting to see users login who have:
- Spaces in their username
- Underscores in their username
- Special characters in their username (especially those which aren't allowed in URLs)
Especially users with usernames as described above, try to login and create your own info page (click on your username, next to "my talk", then click "create page", write something and try to save it).

I for one will help in some way to update the Wiki, especially since the criteria you wanted doesn't require a lot of digging. However, will this only deal with upcoming anime or will we try to enter all anime that existed in the wiki?

MediaWiki basic features seem to work fine too.
Good job, and thankyou!
ps. Either use a grayscale version of the animasuki favicon or add a little mark to it, its confusing having both forum and wiki tabs. ^^;;

That's how my minimal solution would look like. Yes, it's heavily inspired by you-know-what. Maybe somebody wants to add a different arangement for comparison?

It's a little late here, so I'll continue working tomorrow.
I'll have a try at a list layout too. One thing I'd like to try is to make it look a bit more like the torrent listings in terms of style. Plus I still need to enable uploads to allow images.
Also, I think we should probably make heavy use of templates for links. For example instead of pasting http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl...anime&aid=6652, you'd enter {{anidb|a6652}}. This saves space, and will be really useful in case sites change URLs or go down permanently (let's hope not).
One thing I've been wondering... should each anime series get it's own wiki page? For the most part, I can't see a convincing reason why, except for categories. You can add anime series in tons of categories, such as one per genre [[Category:Adventure_(genre)]] or [[Category:Licenses_from_2009]] or [[Category::Anime_by_Studio_Bones]] or [[Category:OVA]] etc, etc.
The only downside would be that each wiki page for anime series would be like a stub with very little info except for links to other sites. Basically not much more than what's on top of the series pages for torrent listings right now.

I'd rather more information at a glance, though. Just a title does absolutely nothing for me unless it's a known franchise. I want more details, a brief summary (maybe 2-3 lines max, not large paragraphs) and perhaps genre/content tags, though limit them to just a few so we don't end up with huge clouds on some series.

Uploads are now enabled. Be aware that I will also nuke all uploaded files when I reset the database before going live (which, considering the progress, could be any day now) so keep a copy of any image you want to keep.
This is my idea of a series listing (temporary on a different page):
Note: refresh the page with CTRL-F5 (or clear your cache) to refresh the CSS on the page, as most of the table styling is in the skin ..... which reminds me... it may look ugly in other skins.... hmm.
@Ichihara Asako
As you can specify a date format in the preferences, I'd figure there must be some way to customize dates to users. Though if full pages are cached (and that's likely) for speedy rendering, this may not be possible.

And if you set dates to a logical format like dd/mm/yy or yyyy/mm/dd it'll be fine, it's just mm/dd is illogical.

Bug report of sorts:
I still think that this bloated version contains too much information and might even deter users from adding material. But I don't religiously stick to the minimal version and I'm fine with trying out the current one. I only have one major and one minor worry:
1. (major) How short is this "short" description supposed to be? I'm afraid it might turn into walls of text in some cases, and biased text at that. I also don't want to scroll for hours just two find out which 2 or 3 anime have been added since last week. Everything > 300 characters should go to the wiki page or the forum.
2. (minor) I'd rename the link "forum" into "anime" and add the information somewhere on top that this refers to animesuki. That way one can simply also link to "manga" or "prequel" for example, instead of using a lengthy "manga thread in the forum" or something like that. But alternatively, one could put these related links into the description. I also see that the "forum" links go to the unaired subforum which I assume is for demonstration purposes and not supposed to be the default. It would be a bad idea to make it the default because it gives no visual hint that the entry is provisional and it downright invites people to make anime threads that might already exist.

- Regarding the DB error: I've made a small change that should hopefully prevent this error from happening. Please let me know if it happens again.
- Regarding description: my intention was for the description to be short, very short - preferably just 1 line, and 2-3 lines max.
- As for the "Forum" link, yes the target was just an example. Should there be no forum page to link to, that section should be empty.
I've altered the Kimba entry in the list to a different format - which do you like best? Personally I still prefer the latter format.

Also I like the desc. I agree with 1 line for a very brief summary, not a full synopsis, but I like it visible at a glance so I can look through a season for things that may interest me, if the line is descriptive enough.

I've modified the second entry some more to give an example of the kind of descriptions I'm thinking about. In this case, I gave no real info about the story, but more factional info about what the series is based on. The links once again are examples btw.
I've also thought about whether we should mention either fansubs or license information in these listings. I think you really can't avoid at least mentioning some info. I propose either an icon or some color coding (for the background color of the series title) to distinguish between:
- Anime that hasn't been licensed nor fansubbed (color: Neutral - current color & no icon)
- Fansubbed anime (color: light green and/or link to Site, as demonstrated in Battle Spirits entry)
- Licensed anime for TV/DVD/BD (color: light red or disc [cd/dvd] icon)
- Licensed anime for Streaming (color: light blue or pc icon)
If an anime is licensed for streaming the link to it should be included in the info links (something like "Streaming"). I do not propose the names of any licensor, nor any further fansub info other than a link to the site, to be mentioned.

I'd say use the second (Battle Spirits) version and simply write "Forum links:" in front of the forum links. The other links are self-explaining. Yet another alternative would be using more abbreviated labels that are explained on top of the page, like "Forum(M)" for the manga thread or something like that.

I like the new second option much more, yes. This is very good.
Also you mentioned earlier quicklinks to like anidb, ANN, MAL etc; they all use numbers for their series, so this would be a good option. Just do like {anidb|6978} and {mal|6901} etc is an excellent idea; not sure if you can parse it further so all they have to do is ANN:#### or MAL:#### etc. But keeping it as simplified as that would be nice.

Yes it works, and OK, I'm fine with putting links into the description. As soon as the wiki is up and running for real and I find the time, I'll start adding some anime with basic info and we'll see how the collective mind of animesuki will flesh that out.

I've now made another change that tries to rewrite your username back to what it was on the forum. Once again, it'll be interesting to see what will happen with user accounts with strange characters in their name. For example, it's technically possible to have one user named "Slice of Life" and another as "Slice_of_Life" as vBulletin threads them as different usernames. But in MediaWiki, they're both the same as it converts underscores to spaces.
Anyway, I'll reset the wiki sometime tonight and will initialize it with the anime listing we've decided upon.

The wiki has now been reset and is live BUT please wait until I've created some initial pages first, thanks.
I'll post again when it's okay for you to make your own edits to the major page (fall 2009 season etc).

Okay done
Go ahead and expand the list I'll expand it myself too, but not today (worked enough on the wiki already).
Visit the main page first for notes regarding editing. If you have never edited Wikipedia before this page may also be useful.

New Concrete Furniture From Holmes Wilson
Way back in 2006, we wrote about Holmes Wilson, a furniture design team based in the North Bay. Now they've got some stunning new pieces that are ideal for outdoors, so we thought this month was the perfect time for another look.
If you're looking to invest in some statement furniture for the garden before the summer kicks in, Holmes Wilson is definitely worth a peek. The smooth concrete forms of their tables and chairs feel somehow quite organic despite their material make-up.
Some of the pieces are very plain, while others are embossed with impressions of leaves and other botanicals. Some table options have wood or steel bases, while others are entirely concrete, giving the impression of a functional kind of sculpture.
Here are a few favorites (pictured above, left to right):
• 1 The Yer Lounge Chair is sleek and contemporary, but would also be at home in a rustic space. We can just imagine how it would soak up the sun and feel warm for lounging even on days when it's not exactly lie-out weather.
• 2 The gorgeous botanical detail on the Pliny End Table is customizable, but we love all the existing examples shown here. A set of these as garden stools would be divine.
• 3 Likewise, the Hand-built Table would also be amazing as a seat or a place to rest your cocktail out on the patio. The rough texture is refreshingly different from the usual smooth poured concrete look.
• 4 The pale gray color of the Sophie Chair would be beautiful with, say, a reclaimed wood table.
• 5 A mixture of colors and shapes in these Concrete Seats would be such a fun look in a modern garden with lots of grasses and whimsical plant choices.
To see the full collection and get pricing information, check out the Holmes Wilson website.

RVIA Board Votes to Lower Seal Price to $25
June 11, 2010 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on RVIA Board Votes to Lower Seal Price to $25
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA) board of directors capped four days of intense activity at Committee Week 2010 by voting unanimously Thursday (June 10) to reduce the RVIA seal price by $5 to $25, effective July 1, 2010.
The vote was included among a number of actions taken by the board on the final day of Committee Week as the result of recommendations from many of RVIA's standing committees that met earlier in the week at the Century Center in South Bend, Ind.
This is the second reduction in the seal price in a three-month period. The board had previously approved a similar $5 reduction at its April meeting. The seal price had been increased to $35 in July 2009 to ease pressure on the association budget caused by the reduction in show and dues revenue triggered by the economic downturn. This action helped avoid further program cuts and allowed RVIA to continue providing essential association services at a critical time for the membership and industry.
"With the RV market gaining strength and the economic outlook improving, we are happy to once again lower the price of seals for our members," said RVIA President Richard Coon.
The new $25 seal fee will apply to all member manufacturer vehicle types. The Go RVing per unit assessment of manufacturer members remains unchanged at the current levels of $46 for folding camping trailers and truck campers; $61 for travel trailers and fifth-wheel travel trailers; and $74 for motorhomes.
In other actions at their meeting on June 9, the board:
• Approved publishing a new Consumer Demographic Profile Study in FY2011 in order to identify changes in current owner demographics in the RV marketplace.
• Approved several changes to wholesale shipment reporting, including: providing wholesale shipment statistics for diesel and gasoline type B motorhomes; eliminating the category of type A diesel motorhomes without slideouts from market surveys and reporting since nearly all reported having slideouts; and reporting sports utility trailer shipments on a quarterly basis.
• Voted to establish a subcommittee of the Market Information Committee to review methods of reporting industry retail sales and retail inventory levels.
• Directed that manufacturer exhibitors in the California RV Show be permitted to have up to 20% of the units in each booth space composed of units from the previous model year with the remaining 80% devoted to units from the current model year.
• Approved four Trouble Shooter Clinics to be scheduled for FY2011 and FY2012, with one session in 2012 being an advanced clinic.
• Approved $15,000 in FY2011 to support the RV Safety Education Foundation (RVSEF), providing a report on past and future activities is submitted by the RVSEF to the RVIA annually.
• Approved supporting the National Association of Trailer Manufacturers (NATM) in developing an SAE brake performance and testing standard that would establish uniform brake requirements for manufacturers of light- and medium-duty trailers (less than 26,000 pounds GVWR) and that an RVIA-designated representative work with the NATM brake task force.
• Approved an update to the Vacation Cost Comparison Study, which was last conducted in 2008.
• Approved the FY2011 RV Market Expansion and Reinforcement Program to be executed by Barton-Gilanelli, subject to budget considerations. This consists of the RV Top-of-Mind-Awareness Program, including national electronic and print media outreach, RV media luncheons, satellite media tours and other spokesperson activities.
• Approved publishing the 2009 Annual Survey of Lenders' Experiences and continuing the research for FY2011.
Programs with specific budgets for FY2011 are pending until final approval by the RVIA Executive Committee at its August budget meeting and the RVIA Board of Directors at its September meeting.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 17, 2005) - Head coach Karen Kemp and the Lady Bucs basketball squad are set to open the 2005-06 season this weekend, as they travel to Starkville, Miss., to face SEC foe Mississippi State at 2 p.m. CT, Sunday. The Lady Bucs will be looking to avenge last season's 74-64 loss in Johnson City, in the teams' first-ever meeting.
Season Preview
After ending last season with an impressive conference tournament run, the 2005-06 Lady Buccaneer basketball team looks for big things in the coming season. After posting a 9-11 record in regular season conference play, the Lady Bucs stormed into the postseason, blasting through the first two rounds of the conference tournament, including a 55-50 upset win over top-seeded Chattanooga to advance to the conference semifinal. The Lady Bucs then came within two points of the conference final, falling to Georgia Southern in a 73-71 overtime heartbreaker.
Following last year's postseason success and four of five starters returning, head coach Karen Kemp has nothing but high expectations for the upcoming season.
"As a coach, you always have high expectations," said Kemp, who is entering her 12th season at the helm of the ETSU program. "Last year's postseason gave the players a lot of confidence, and really gave them something to build on over the summer."
A top priority for the Lady Bucs will be replacing the inside presence of 2004-05 Conference Player of the Year Tiffani Mayes. Mayes led the team in scoring last season with 19.7 ppg, including three performances with 30 or more points.
"We definitely have big shoes to fill," said Kemp on making up Mayes' numbers. "She gave us some big numbers and we're going to have to have two or three people step up and make up those numbers. Our perimeter game is going to have to be stronger and B.J. (Banjo) is going to have to do more scoring. Most of the rebounding will fall on Candace's (Gibson) shoulders. Where she had seven or eight rebounds a game last year, she'll have to get 10 or 12."
The Backcourt
Leading the Lady Bucs in the backcourt will be senior point guard B.J. Banjo. Banjo had a banner year in 2004-05, scoring 15.7 ppg, nearly 10 points more than her scoring average from the previous season. The then-junior also put up career numbers in assists (118), rebounds (125), and steals (76). Banjo's improvements were also noticed in conference play as she was named to the all-conference first team following the regular season, and was also a first team all-conference tournament honoree.
"B.J. and Candace really gained a lot of confidence after their play down the stretch last season," said Kemp on her senior duo. "We'll be counting on both of them to put double-digit points and minutes every game, and step up and perform consistently day in and day out. To be successful this season, B.J. is really going to have to take care of the ball and Candace is going to have to control the boards."
Joining Banjo in the ETSU backcourt will be fellow veteran guard, junior Brooke Wilhoit, a member of the all-conference freshman team following her rookie campaign in 2003-04. Wilhoit dished out 53 assists last season, the second-most on the team, along with 36 steals, the fourth-best total on the squad.
Also expected to see some minutes at the guard positions will be junior Holly Moring, along with sophomores Alisha Holmes and Kelly Turman. Moring has been a consistent spark off the bench in her first two seasons at ETSU, while Turman showed much promise during her rookie campaign, especially in her 21-point effort at Chattanooga (1/29/05). Holmes also displayed signs of a bright future, averaging 12.3 minutes in 28 games as a freshman.
"Our perimeter play will be our strength this season," said Kemp. "We have a lot of guards who will be able to push the ball up and down the floor. We'll be playing a lot of full court man-to-man, trying to create turnovers and get some easy buckets."
New to the Lady Buc backcourt lineup will be freshmen Adaeze Azubuike and Farren Stackhouse. Azubuike, an athletic shooting guard, is expected to make an immediate impact after a stellar prep career in which she helped her Lexington Catholic squad to the 2005 Kentucky State Championship. Stackhouse, who is also likely to see time in the post, also brings some impressive credentials to ETSU, after averaging 18.0 points per game, along with 7.0 rebounds per contest during her senior season at Camden County High School in St. Mary's, Ga.
"Azubuike will step up early," Kemp said of the freshman guard. "She has a lot of quickness and is very coachable. She's eager to learn and really wants to be out there, so I think she'll contribute immediately."
The Frontcourt
ETSU will rely on senior Candace Gibson to be a force on the inside throughout the season. Gibson also had a career year last season, pulling down 8.1 rpg, tops on the team. The junior was especially tough down the stretch in ETSU's conference tournament run, tallying a monster 27 points and 18 rebounds in the Lady Bucs' loss to Georgia Southern in the conference semi-final.
The Lady Bucs also return a pair of sophomore forwards, coming off stellar rookie campaigns last season. Nichelle Akers led all freshmen with 22 starts, followed by Michele DeVault, who got the starting nod in 20 contests. DeVault led the rookie contingent in scoring with 6.4 ppg, with Akers chipping in with 4.6.
"Nichelle and Michele had a major impact last year," said Kemp. "They need to come in and build on what they started as freshmen. They are both much better players now, and have really grown and matured over the summer."
Akers, a defensive force last season, will be expected to step into more of a scoring role this year, whereas DeVault, a three-point threat, will need to do more ball-handling and improve her mid-range game. According to Kemp, both players returned to Johnson City this fall with expanded games and will see time at both the guard and forward positions.
Also in the Buccaneer frontcourt will be sophomore Jenny Norman, along with rookie Sharnae Hunt. Both listed at 6-2, Norman and Hunt add needed height under the Buccaneer basket. Norman played in 18 games last season, while Hunt averaged 10.0 ppg and 9.0 rpg game in her prep days in Annapolis, Md.
The Atlantic Sun Conference
The Lady Bucs enter a revamped Atlantic Sun Conference, which welcomes back eight of last year's 11 member schools, plus newly added ETSU, along with Kennesaw State and North Florida. With the departure of Central Florida, last season's regular season champion, the A-Sun looks wide open going into the 2005-06 campaign. Belmont is the highest returning finisher from last season, coming off a fourth-place showing during the regular season. Stetson, which won an NCAA tournament bid after winning the conference tournament, finished fifth in regular season play.
Historically, the Lady Bucs have limited experience against Atlantic Sun teams. This season's meetings with Campbell, Florida Atlantic, Gardner-Webb, Jacksonville, Kennesaw State, Lipscomb, and North Florida will be the first in program history. The Lady Bucs have only played current A-Sun schools a total of eight times, posting an even 4-4 record.
ETSU has seen Mercer a total of four times in program history, with the series standing at 2-2. However, the Lady Bucs haven't played the Bears since the 1984-85 season, long before most of the current ETSU players were even born. The Lady Bucs have met Belmont a combined three times, taking on the Bearcats most recently in 2002. Gibson was the lone member of the team that dropped a 94-71 loss to the Nashville squad, making the senior the only current Lady Buc to have ever faced an A-Sun opponent. ETSU's also fell in its lone meeting with Stetson, losing a tight 74-71 decision during the 1995-96 campaign.
"It will definitely be a challenge and it's been a long time since we've played anyone from the A-Sun," said Kemp on the new conference. "It's a competitive league and come the first conference game, we need to be prepared and ready to compete."
ETSU's inaugural Atlantic Sun competition is scheduled for Dec. 1, when Belmont comes to Johnson City, closely followed by Lipscomb on Dec. 3, also in Memorial Center.
The Non-Conference Schedule
The 2005-06 Lady Bucs will waste no time in the early season, jumping right into high-level competition from some of the top conferences in the nation. First up, ETSU will travel to Starkville, Miss., to take on Mississippi State, from the always powerful Southeastern Conference (SEC). In the teams' first-ever meeting last season, the Bulldogs bested the Lady Bucs by a 74-64 margin in Johnson City.
"I always try and make our non-conference schedule as tough as possible to prepare for conference play," said Kemp. "The teams we're playing this year have all been in postseason play year in and year out. Hopefully by the time we're through our non-conference schedule, we'll have had enough experience to prepare us for the A-Sun."
Following MSU, ETSU heads north to face Cincinnati, a recent addition to the challenging Big East Conference. The teams have faced off twice in program history, with the Bearcats taking both matchups, the last in 1999. Also on the non-conference schedule will be Eastern Kentucky (Nov. 29), Western Kentucky (Dec. 11), and Southeast Missouri State (Dec. 28), along with Southern Conference foes College of Charleston (Dec. 7), and Appalachian State (Dec. 21).

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Dec. 5, 2009) - The Lady Bucs have been scoring in bunches their last two games.
ETSU had four players score in double figures and out-rebounded North Florida 54-29, as the Lady Bucs cruised their way to an 82-54 victory in their Atlantic Sun Conference opener on Saturday afternoon inside the
A crowd of 3,005 people braved the cold and snowy weather to come out and enjoy "Family Day" activities, and after seeing John Waller perform for over an hour, the Lady Buccaneer faithful witnessed ETSU move its mark to .500 (3-3, 1-0 A-Sun). The Ospreys have now lost six of their first seven games to start the season and dropped to 0-2 in league play. Following the game, the Lady Bucs rewarded the children in attendance with a free basketball and cheerleading clinic on the court.
Senior Atlantic Sun Preseason Player of the Year selection Siarre Evans (
Despite receiving the news that senior post Latisha Belcher (
"Siarre is just tenacious on the boards - she gets in there and rebounds - and I wonder how sometimes," added head coach Karen Kemp, whose Lady Buccaneer squad is averaging 88 points in their last two wins.
"TaRonda really got on the boards for us, and we did go small today. When we do go small, everybody realizes they have to block out and crash the boards. We have used this small line up early in the year, but hopefully our freshmen post players will finally catch on with what they have to do in order to contribute."
The small line up gave ETSU some benefits and a lot of the success came from 5-5 junior point guard Tara Davis (
"This senior class tends to get all the accolades, but T.D. (Tara Davis) has really been the spark plug for this team," added Kemp. "She gets this team going and has been playing extremely well on both ends of the court for us."
UNF had one fight in them during the opening half, as the Ospreys got to within six, 22-16, at the 8:18 mark; however, the Lady Bucs closed out the final eight minutes on a 15-4 run to take a 37-20 lead into the break.
Neither team shot well in the first 20 minutes, but the difference was ETSU draining six more field goals than UNF - with four of them coming from beyond the arc. The Lady Bucs were 14-of-40 (35.0 percent) from the field and 4-for-17 from beyond the arc (23.5 percent), compared to the Ospreys going 8-of-26 (30.8 percent) and 0-for-6 from 3-point range. ETSU got the job done with its stifling defense and aggressive rebounding. The Lady Bucs forced UNF into 14 first half turnovers - converting those into 21 points - while ETSU's 12 offensive rebounds resulted in 14 second-chance points (UNF with zero). Evans nearly missed a double-double in the opening 20 minutes - leading all players with 10 points and nine rebounds.
The Lady Bucs never let North Florida really pose a threat in the second half, as ETSU extended its 17-point halftime lead to 23, 58-35, after Davis found Evans open for three with 14:02 on the clock. From there, the Lady Bucs continued to roll and coach Kemp was able to go to her bench. ETSU eventually built a 30-point advantage (80-50) when sophomore Natalie Pickwell (
ETSU shot a blistering 51.6 percent (16-31) in the second half and finished 30-of-71 (42.3 percent) for the contest. The Lady Bucs made a season best 11 three-pointers and forced the Ospreys into 21 turnovers. ETSU used those miscues to its liking by turning them into 30 points on the offensive end.
UNF finished 21-of-59 from the field (35.6 percent) and were led by Brittany Kirkland's 14 points.
The Lady Bucs will now have 12 days off before travelling to Appalachian State on Thursday, Dec. 17. Tip is set for 5 p.m. inside the

Hocus Pocus (US - BD)
Jonathan would suffer less if he dunked his head in a boiling cauldron..
When three 17th century Salem witches are accidentally summoned by modern-day pranksters, the 300-year-old trio sets out to cast a spell on the town and reclaim their youth, but first they must outwit three kids and a talking cat. (From the Disney synopsis)
I was a Disney kid growing up. For some reason our cable provider didn't have Cartoon Network and the local channels the box picked up didn't include WB, so the Disney channel was my primary source of entertainment and I watched and enjoyed nearly every corny movie that played on it; theatrical or straight-to-television. I saw Hocus Pocus on this channel when I was too young to understand what being critical of entertainment was, and yet I couldn't stand it. Three actresses that don't appeal to me dressed up as cartoony witches, talking like babies... it was grating to me as a child and upon re-watching the film today, I can say my reaction hasn't changed much. The trio of actresses are clearly having fun in the roles, but the enjoyment stops on their end.
This time around I did enjoy the brother/sister chemistry between Max (Omri Katz) and Dani (Thora Birch). As an ardent fan of her work in Ghost World, it was fun to see Birch as a child completely owning the role of the wisecracking younger sister. She steals the movie on more than one occasion. It was also enjoyable to see Doug Jones in a slapstick zombie performance. Though I have no nostalgia for Hocus Pocus, watching the movie now I did find myself fondly remembering the production quality of horror fantasy movies from the 1990's. Especially the darker, more Halloween-themed ones like Tim Burton's earlier work and Nicolas Roeg's take on Roald Dahl's The Witches. The detailed sets, flying broom wire work and neon lit cauldrons in Hocus Pocus are charming relics from that era, even if they're in a movie I can't stand.
Disney continues their trend with Fall catalog titles: no extras, but no skimping on a quality 1080p image. There's only the film on the disc, and yet it was given a BD-50 to make room for a solid transfer. Of course, it doesn't live up to the lofty standards of their major releases, but quality is a notch above what most studios put out for their old titles. There's a nice light grain that consistently rests over the image. The grain has a nice texture to it, but the image detail underneath is on the softer side. The image has a very warm push to it. Despite having sinister witches, a headless zombie and a green boiling cauldron, everything has a red/orange appearance to it. Compression artefacts aren't a problem, but black levels can get really soft and even have a greyish appearance at times. This seems mostly contained to VFX shots, though, so I'm willing to bet it's the result of the dated visuals and not the transfer to the digital format.
Like video, the sound on this Blu-ray release doesn't disappoint. The surround channels of this DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track are especially active for an older catalog title. When witches are whooshing around on their brooms, when a crowd gathers for a celebration and when the witches break out into an unfortunate musical number, every channel is bustling with some form of activity. A lot of the sound effects feel understandably dated, but they're spaced out well in this dynamic mix. Dialogue can be hard to decipher at times, as the music often takes precedence over voices in terms of volume. It doesn't help that the witches talk in shrill baby voices, making them harder to understand. I can't say John Debney's score left any impression on me, but in this mix it feels the front channels nicely, utilizing the LFE-channel when appropriate.
A DVD copy of the film comes with the Blu-ray, but there are no extras to be found on either disc.
Hocus Pocus could very well be my earliest memory of actively disliking a movie. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III might have it beat, but it's a close one. I still think it's an irritating movie, but seeing Thora Birch and Doug Jones in early roles was a small delight. Disney gives this movie a much better transfer and audio mix than it requires, but there are no extras on the disc.
* Note: The above images are taken from the Blu-ray release and resized for the page. Full-resolution captures are available by clicking individual images, but due to .jpg compression they are not necessarily representative of the quality of the transfer.

5 Cool Melon Soups for the Last Days of Summer
These are the dog days of summer, aren't they? Just when you think some relief is near, the hottest days stretch on before us. Luckily, melons are in season and they're just the thing for a little cool relief. Let's take a look at some cool soups from around the web that are made from the seasonal fruit:
• 1 A somewhat savory option, this melon gazpacho recipe from Nugget Market also calls for tomatoes, olive oil, and shallots.
• 2 Melon soup by chef Amy Goldman via PBS.
• 3 These are actually two mix-and-match melon soups from Martha Stewart, to be combined for a beautiful presentation.
• 4 This recipe from Shape magazine incorporates an unexpected sparkle: champagne!
• 5 Served in the melon rind, this recipe we spotted at Channel 4 includes a frozen sorbet element, too, for extra coolness.

text: This a is phrase that is usually followed by a stern look of caution ... and luckily, I've yet to muster this to my own child. Yet the list of "phrases my mom used to say" are certainly starting to surface. So, when I stumbled upon this product designed by student Emanuel Cohen, I was impressed to see a candle and crayon making nice. The design is stellar and execution on point. The only question is - how long is the wick? It would be great if the crayon could way out live the candle.

Want a little bit of coffee in your beer? Maybe a little beer in your coffee? A new offering by local brewers Fordham and Dominion Brewing Company wants to wake up tailgating mornings with a limited edition beer, featuring a staple for most morning pick-me-ups.
Just in time for a few final football tailgating parties, Fordham and Dominion Brewing Company will release a new coffee bean-infused beer this Thursday, Nov. 15.
"Morning Glory," a full-bodied espresso stout will be Dominion's final pin-up inspired "Bomber Girl" of 2012. The company describes its new offering as a robust espresso stout brewed made with locally roasted coffee beans. There are also chocolate, crystal, smoked and wheat malts contributing to the rich body and flavor. Bravo hops provide the bitterness and clean fruit notes.
Glory wakes up at 9 percent alcohol by volume and 60 IBUs with the aroma of espresso and hints of chocolate. IBU is a beer measurement that refers to bitterness, strength and color. Available for a limited time only, she will be on draft and in conditioned 22oz bottles.
Master Brewer Walter Trifari is excited about the collaborative nature of this particular beer.
"We chose to seek out a local coffee roaster for this beer to make sure that the coffee beans used would be up to our standards," Trifari said. "With the help of Espresso-N-Ice, we were able to participate in perfectly roasting the 65 pounds of coffee that the stout was warmed on for 13 days. That extra effort has allowed us to create an exquisitely balanced, full-flavored espresso stout and a community partnership that will extend well beyond the production of this beer."

Seniors key 13-2 Broncos victory
BLACKFOOT — It was a fabulous way to end the regular season and for a quintet of seniors and even better way to leave the home field a winner as the Blackfoot Broncos sent Jeremy Leavitt, Jeremy Johnson, Jaron Katseanes, Colton Fairchild and Shawn Whitehead home with fond memories of their 13-2 conference win over Rigby on Wednesday evening.
"It was nice to get a home win," Blackfoot head coach Kenny Dahle said.
Not only did the seniors go away winners on senior night but they each played big roles in the final outcome of the game as well.
Jeremy Leavitt had a stellar 2 for 4 game in the lead off position for the Broncos as he drove in 4 RBI on the night.
Colton Fairchild was equally as impressive as the big first baseman drilled an RBI double on his way to a 2 for 3 performance.
Jeremy Johnson and Jaron Katseanes both picked up a pair of hits and both crossed the plate twice in a huge 11 run fourth inning which sealed the deal for the Broncos.
Perhaps most impressive however was the efforts of Shawn Whitehead who picked up a win for his 5 innings of 2 run baseball pitched on the bump for Blackfoot. Whitehead scattered 7 hits while striking out 6 and helped his own cause with a towering 3 run homer over the left field fence in the mammoth fourth inning.
"We've talked about setting the tempo of a ball game," Coach Dahle said. "That tempo all starts on the mound and tonight Shawn threw well, our defense went and attacked the baseball when it was put in play and once we took control in the field, it carried over to the plate."
Rigby led 1-0 after a lone run in the top of the second inning but Blackfoot quickly erased that deficit with a 2 run home half of the frame with Fairchild ripping an RBI double down the left field line to score Zach Later who was running for Whitehead who had reached via a base on balls. Fairchild scored two batters later as Johnson and Katseanes each hit singles.
Rigby tied the game with a run in the third inning before Blackfoot put the hammer down in a fourth inning that witnessed each member of the Blackfoot lineup reaching base and eventually scoring.
"We started the inning playing small ball, getting the bunts down and forcing Rigby to make a play. They are an inexperienced team and we took advantage of that," Coach Dahle said. Even Shawns at bat he squares around on the first pitch, gets a good look at the ball and then crushes the homer. It's nice to see the small things adding up to big results. Hopefully we will be able to carry this forward into districts."
WIth the win Blackfoot improves their season record to 12-9, 6-4 in conference play and finish in a tie for third with Hillcrest. Hillcrest wins the tie breaker due to their split with conference leading Bonneville so Blackfoot will face this same Rigby squad on Saturday. The winning team will then advance to the double elimination tournament which will begin on Monday at Melalueca Field. The loser will pack up their cleats for the season.

A friend of mine just defended his Ph.D successfully (congratulations, Nabil !), and sent me this excerpt (extracted from here) in response to my email congratulating him:
In February 1995, on a beautiful sunny day with clear Carolina blue skies, I turned in the final,signed copy of my dissertation. The graduate school staff member did some last-minute checks on the document and pronounced it acceptable. After six and a half years of toil and sweat, I was finally done! While walking back to the C.S. department building, I was sorely disappointed that the heavens didn't part, with trumpet-playing angels descending to announce this monumental occasion. Upon hearing this observation, Dr. Fred Brooks (one of my committee members) commented, 'And the sad fact is, you're no smarter today than you were yesterday.'"
Another amusing take on graduate student life, from the same article:
Being a graduate student is like becoming all of the Seven Dwarves. In the beginning you're Dopey and Bashful. In the middle, you are usually sick (Sneezy), tired (Sleepy), and irritable (Grumpy). But at the end, they call you Doc, and then you're Happy.

Starting with features meant for us home users first, the Time Slider feature in Nautilus has received a number of improvements and new features. Time Slider is, simply put, a front-end to the revision and snapshot features of ZFS, allowing easy access to these otherwise technical aspects of ZFS. New in this release is the ability to create a snapshot of your filesystem at any given moment, and you can now also delete individual snapshots at your leisure. The interface has also been polished up, and when looking under the hood, you'll notice that they've multithreaded the entire thing, meaning that browsing directories with as many as 4000 snapshots (3000 years!) will cause no slowdown.
Codeina is a new utility in this release which allows you to easily install multimedia codecs, drawing them from the Fluendo store. Some of those are available for free, while others require you to pay for them. Also included in OpenSolaris 2009.06 is the Elisa media centre. It's available in the repositories under
Moving on to the administrator side of things, OpenSolaris 2009.06 comes with improved support for CIFS. "OpenSolaris CIFS service now includes many new features such as host-based access control which allows a CIFS server to restrict access to specific clients by IP address, ACLs (access control lists) on shares, and client-side caching of offline files and synchronization when reconnected." Better interoperability with Window is always a good thing, so many people will welcome these improvements.
Another feature which I'm sure some of you will be very happy with is Crossbow. "Crossbow network virtualization promotes more effective sharing of network resources and enhances the ability to consolidate server workloads. Using the basic building block of Virtual Network Interface Controllers (VNICs), virtual switches and interconnects, Virtual LANs (VLANs), plus OpenSolaris routing and firewall functionality, it is possible to consolidate an entire distributed computing environment on a single system for prototyping, testing and even deployment scenarios."
Obviously, hardware and laptop support have been further improved as well. Get it from their download page.

Wilcox Legion team downs Fox Township
WILCOX – The Wilcox American Legion team remained undefeated in the early season with a 5-2 victory over Fox Township Monday night at the Jones Township Community Park. Wilcox (2-0) opened the game with a run in the first inning. Leadoff hitter Cole Peterson reached on an error at second base by Fox Township, an overthrow which led Peterson to second base. He moved to third on a Jesse Reynolds groundout and scored on a bunt by Mitchell Holmberg for the game's first run. Johnsonburg coach Jeff Peterson said with Fox Township throwing pitcher Bob Vollmer, runs would be at a premium. "That's a big win. I knew they would be throwing him. and we were going to be in for a battle so we played some smallball," coach Peterson said. "Those early runs and the small-ball, the squeezes and everything. These kids are all team players. They'll take that bunt and give up that run. They'll lay it down and do it and they'll all do it. It's a big thing. I try to teach them to use small-ball to win games. It's proven that it will keep you in the game and you have to play that way." Justin Quiggle led off the fourth inning with a hard-hit ball to right field which was good for two bases. Quiggle was looking to stretch the hit into a triple but was thrown out by a series of relay throws to open the fourth inning from right fielder Quinn Luhr to second baseman Frank Kocjancic to shortstop Cole Peterson to third baseman Jesse Reynolds. "Defensively, we're tough," coach Peterson said. "Quinn Luhr getting that ball off the fence, hitting the cut to Frankie, Frankie to Cole and Cole to Jesse. That's how a relay's supposed to work. That's what we practice. It paid off, we got the big out. That was a momentum killer, I think. They had stuff going right there." Joe Holmberg led off the fourth inning by reaching on another Fox Township error as the shortstop overthrew first base. Holmberg reached second. Cameron Grumley then tried to bunt Holmberg over to third but another infield overthrow left runners on the corners with no one out. After a flyout, Quinn Luhr hit a sacrifice bunt to score Holmberg and put the lead at 2-0 and move Grumley to second base in the process. Frank Kocjancic then clutched up from the ninth spot in the batting order with a single to score Grumley and make the lead 3-0. Robbie Watts and Brandon Vollmer were walked with one out in the fifth and Luke Schreiber reached on a fielder's choice on a ball hit to third. Watts was able to avoid the tag at third and leave the bases loaded with one out. Brian Merritt hit a sacrifice fly to plate Watts from third and make the lead 3-1. Wilcox answered with a run of its own in the home half of the fifth. Jesse Reynolds and Mitchell Holmberg walked to lead off the inning. Josh Mitchell then hit into a fielder's choice to second, erasing Holmberg from the bases and leaving runners at the corners. Louie Imbrogno pinch ran for Mitchell and was caught in a rundown off a pickoff throw between first and second. Imbrogno was able to stay in the rundown long enough to allow Mitchell Holmberg to score from third and put the lead back to 4-1. In the top of the sixth, Justin Beimel reached on a 1-out walk and Rocco Harshbarger singled to put runners on first and second. The two runners moved up on a passed ball to second and third which proved helpful for Fox Township. Austin Krise grounded out to score Beimel. Zac Luhr walked with one out in the bottom of the sixth. Pinch runner Mitchell Vallone moved to second on a passed ball and scored as Frank Kocjancic blooped a single in between shortstop and left field. Kocjancic was 2-for-3 with two RBI. Kocjancic recently started hitting left-handed and coach Peterson said it is making a difference. "Frankie is doing a great job batting lefty," coach Peterson said. "I just had him start hitting lefty. He's a right-hander. I had him start hitting lefty when we played Ridgway this year. I realized he could hit left-handed and I've been making him hit left ever since because he swings a lot harder bat and there he is with two big hits."Johnsonburg used a trio of pitchers to get the win. Cole Peterson threw three shutout innings, Mitchell Holmberg allowed one run in 1 2-3 innings and Josh Mitchell allowed just one run in 2 1-3 innings to close the game. Coach Peterson said the pitchers all did a great job with Mitchell not allowing Fox Township to get back into the game. "I told him to throw strikes and the guys will make the plays behind you," coach Peterson said.Wilcox had only three hits in the game but reached three times on walks and took advantage of four Fox Township errors. Wilcox is scheduled to host Smethport at 6 p.m. Wednesday.Individual statistics:Fox Township AB R H BIBrian Merritt 3 0 2 1Bob Vollmer 4 0 0 0Justin Quiggle 4 0 2 0Justin Beimel 2 1 0 0 Rocco Harshbarger 3 0 1 0Austin Krise 3 0 0 1Brandon Vollmer 1 1 0 0Robbie Watts 3 0 0 0Luke Schreiber 2 0 0 0Mike Fox 0 0 0 0Totals 25 2 5 22B: Quiggle.

Main Site - :: Why Won't God Heal Amputees? ::
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
Please post all commentary regarding the debate in this thread.
The title differs from the debate question in the first post.Is the topic about one or more generic 'deities' or a specific single deity such as Yahweh?
No Levan, i know all to well about the burden of proof.
I don't have to 'learn the arguments' to be capable of having a debate. Yes, it's important to know what other people have thought, but I have my own ideas. Why would I depend on the arguments of other people for how I express myself? It's like asking for the canvas to be printed with lines and numbers for colors to be added.
For now, he offers to debate me, or any others, on the Kalam argument.
Exactly. I wanted to point this out on the other commentary thread. He perceives his opinion as fire proof mostly because he read it somewhere and it made sense to him. Had he actually come to his opinions on his own, he'd understand the arguments presented against him and be able to explain how it all makes sense to him. But he is not capable of doing this, because he's basing his argument on other people's conclusions.
DEBATE CANCELLED!Majesty has notified me by PM that he declines this debate. He said that he is in the process of learning "all the arguments" to prove god, but at the moment he is still perfecting the Kalam. He thinks that he might need "all the arguments" to debate the topic I propose, so for now he declines--although he might accept "soon."For now, he offers to debate me, or any others, on the Kalam argument.

DailyDirt: Fuel From The Sun
from the urls-we-dig-up dept
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is working on an artificial photosynthesis process that could produce hydrogen as a fuel. These scientists are looking at molecules designed to absorb sunlight and create an electrical current that can break water into molecular hydrogen and oxygen. [url]
- Natural photosynthesis isn't all that efficient, so maybe researchers can augment plants with nanomaterials to give photosynthesis a little boost. Adding carbon nanotubes to chloroplasts can enhance photosynthesis by a measurable amount, but scaling this augmentation up might be tricky. Also, we should probably figure out how this actually works before we introduce this grey-green goo into the environment.... [url]
- The SOLAR-JET project is working on a chemical reactor that uses sunlight to power the production of syngas from just water and carbon dioxide. The syngas will be further reacted using the Fischer-Tropsch process to make a form of jet fuel (hence the name of the project). [url]
