Although I've notice Saki from the beginning, I must say her popularity after the main cast is surprising for a character without a single line. To me she actually has much more presence than the whole first year girls because I always try to see what she's doing when the first year group gets their screen time.
Another mystery is Saori's need to be popular. I mean, I thought from the beginning that she's must be one of those girl who's popular with boys. She has style, knows how to cook, is caring, has something that I'd call a mother figure, yet she's unpopular?

Lots of talking going on. I want to throw following fuels into the fire
1. Comparing this Girls & Panzer to movie "Top Gun" ?
2. If you study the best military leaders in the history, you will see that they all made plenty of mistakes. Their strength was that they were usually quicker than others to recognize their mistake and address it.
3. One of the mistake I like to point out for Miho is her not calling for aids and resources in her attempt to save the people in the tank sinking in the river. She dove into dangerous waters alone without telling anyone, which wasn't wise.
4. I do see many flaws with how many of the characters were designed. While these character and plot holes are evident, I am enjoying the whole series in spite of these flaws.

Do boys live and go to school in the same ship, or are there ships for boys and they are segregated?
Since Utsugi Yuuki (the 1st year radio comm) mentioned having a boyfriend in ep 1 and in ep 5 he dumped her. Was it a long distance relationship or was he living in the Oarai ship?

If you think about it, Miho isn't very strong as a strategic thinker. Most of her plans, while generally sound, tend to not work out very well.
That said, where her gifting lies is recognising that no plan survives contact with the enemy - I've seen plenty of anime characters shut down because their plans aren't working - and she can adapt, improvise, and overcome.
So, in conclusion: Miho is not so hot on strategy, but she is good at tactics and playing it by ear.

1. The ammunition is regulated by the League to certain standards as implied by the official rules. This is likely to imply that the rounds are modified either in the actual bullets fired or in the propellant or both. The effect is to reduce the effective penetration value while still retaining most of their ballistic properties.
2. The stated "Carbon Coating", which is implied to provide a level of protection for the tank crew that can protect against lethal penetrations. Thus as long as the crew is inside the tank, they're safe from any weapon's fire coming their way.
While I don't think GuP is gonna go into the subject of death, the official rules mention that accidentally killing someone is grounds for disqualification (well obviously ), and there's nothing in the portrayal of the rounds in the anime that suggests that the tanks rounds they use are non-lethal. Miho's only response to Saori's query on getting hit is that she's unlikely to get hit; she doesn't mention what happens if she does get hit, which we assume to be particularly gory.
Besides, these are rounds that destroy buildings and can shatter steel, it doesn't take much to see that these rounds quite live and lethal. They even have actual High-Explosive (HE) rounds available to them - see that scene where Hana shoots that snowbank. (Note on that scene: HE rounds do contain fuses that can be adjusted for time to detonation. Thus the shell going into the snow and then exploding after a few moments later is actually correct).

A good team leader is someone who can adapt tactic based on situation. Miho is a good leader. We have strategist to worry about something bigger like strategy.

Regards amateurs, there's a report in Armor Magazine that in 1992, a Brigade that was victorious in Iraq (first Gulf War) went to the National Training Center and got their asses kicked...
Not by OPFOR, the best-trained and most experienced fighting formation in the US Army, but by a company of National Guardsmen. Weekend warriors. (To be fair, the NG boys had gotten an intensive training course from OPFOR, and the parameters of the excercise were simulating Soviet conscripts taking on experienced US Army vets.)

I think there are three problems that have undermined Miho leading her team.
One is that she lacks command presence.She lacks the force of personalty to control her team naturally. That is why Momo was able to take over at the start of their first match even though she is an idiot.
Another is that she lacks the will to enforce discipline on her team mates.And before someone starts talking about how this is just a game let me just point out that you would never see that kind of half-assed running around with any high school football,baseball, or basketball team and they are all games.
If you put her two first faults together you can see that they make it very hard for her to be any kind of effective leader.
Her last problem is the she is only a so-so strategist .All of her prematch plans that we have seen have been very basic and uninspired.
But she also has her strengths.She can lead from example and she is good at forming bonds with her teammates.And most importantly she is a great tactician.All of their wins have come from her ability to react to the fast changing tides of battle and chart out a way through them.
I think that she is more suited to being a second in command.She could be the mother figure for a more stern and imposing leader while keeping up team morale.And I think she would really shine at front line of battle carrying out her orders in her own way while having her commander in the back looking at the big picture.

Those very basic plans are actually were used by many real-life tank commanders. Because strategy is not something as god tier, most of them are very basic things but still many commander fail to used them or other commanders used them successful. In battle, most general set up basic strategy and depend on situations, they change strategy and tactics.

Canadian, U.S. fines hover over Sikorsky
Stratford-based Sikorsky Aircraft is facing up to $80 million in fines from the Canadian government in a dispute over delays with delivery of the new Cyclone search and rescue helicopter.
Reuters reported this week that the Canadian Ministry of Public Works has pledged to fine Sikorsky related to multiple delays to the project. Sikorsky won the $5 billion contract for 28 Canadian search and rescue helicopters in 2004, but has been penalized by the government as it missed various deadlines in the development of the helicopter, the CH-148 Cyclone. Under the terms of the contract, if the Canadian government does not accept delivery of the first helicopter by June of this year, Sikorsky would be hit with the fine.
The Cyclone is an important program for Sikorsky, analysts have said, as it is the first military variant of the helicopter maker's S-92 aircraft and could lead to more sales if the Cyclone performs well, even with the delays and fines.
The S-92 has racked up solid sales on the civilian side and late last week, Sikorsky announced its Pennsylvania plant delivered the first of a 16 helicopter order to Avincis Group, which transports employees and supplies to deep sea oil rigs.
Sikorsky has provided four Cyclones to the Canadians for training and testing purposes, but so far the Canadian government has not signed the documents accepting delivery. And as the delays have happened and fines have been levied, the company has remained optimistic the end result will meet the Canadian's demand and provide revenue for Sikorsky. The $5 billion contract includes a future service agreement, valued at more than $3 billion.
According to a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filing by Sikorsky's parent company, United Technologies, the helicopter maker is close to resolving a $94 million dispute with the U.S. Department of Defense.
Paul Jackson, a Sikorsky spokesman, said the company does not comment on pending litigation or contracts.
In 2008, the DOD won a claim against Sikorsky for overcharging the government for improper overhead costs between 1999 and 2005. Sikorsky appealed that decision in 2009 and final arguments were held on Jan. 25 with a decision expected in the near future, UTC reported.
According to court records, Sikorsky distributed transportation and materials purchasing costs to several contracts, but the department originally approved the practice. Reviews later indicated the practice might be out of compliance, Sikorsky said in its appeal, and in 2005, the DOD and Sikorsky came to an agreement over new procedures and settled the dispute.
Sikorsky claims the DOD claim was brought to court too late, having been filed after the statute of limitations had run out and also violated the agreement the two reached.
The aircraft maker notes the procurement guidelines the two set in 2006 have saved the Defense Department $125 million on one contract alone. And in its SEC filing, UTC said, "We do not believe the resolution of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition."
Shares of United Technologies inched up 37 cents to $89.98 Wednesday in New York.

Product Description
"This panoramic photograph of Zion National Park was taken by James Blakeway looking south from Observation Point. Located in the southwestern corner of Utah, Zion National Park is a masterpiece of towering cliffs, deep red canyons, mesas, buttes, and massive monoliths, often said to be the most beautiful place in America. The North Fork Virgin River flows through Zion Canyon providing water to the canyon where annual precipitation is a mere 14 inches. Angels Landing, in the forefront and right of the canyon, is one of the more famous landmarks in Zion National Park along with Great White Throne located left of the river near the top of the canyon walls." - Copyright James Blakeway

I'm an artist and freelance photographer on Vancouver Island, available for creative projects in Canada and internationally.
My photographic style is a blend of photo-journalism and artisitc environmental portraiture.
I see beauty everywhere. Even in the darkest of places. I am goofy, intuitive, romantic and creative. I believe problems are opportunities. I work hard and dream big. I am passionate about creating images that are testimonials to the spirit and art of life.
I started chasing the light in 1997. I was studying painting, drawing, and psychology at Vancouver Island University when I got my first SLR camera. I loved how I could create an image, tell a story, or express an idea in a fraction of second. All those long nights of painting at an easel become long nights of developing negatives in a darkroom.
My interests in the colonial history of the Americas, social justice and the art and cosmology of indigenous cultures had me pursue a BA in Studio Art and Cultural Anthropology/ Archaeology at the University of British Columbia. During that time, I worked as a darkroom technician and assisted photographers. I also studied graphic design at the Nova Scotia College of Design and finished a psychology minor at VIU.
After graduating, I set off for 4 years to work and travel throughout Asia, Australia, Nepal and India. This travel helped train my eye and I started to work as a portrait and wedding photographer.
In 2011, I returned back to my heart town in Tofino. I love and am inspired by this place everyday. The land, the sea, the stories and the incredible light.

text: While most of the plays and novels of Maurice Maeterlinck have proved virtually impossible to film, the author's allegorical fantasy The Blue Bird has been translated to the screen no fewer than three times. The first version, directed by Maurice Tourneur and designed by Tourneur's favorite art director Ben Carre, was arguably the most visually impressive of the three (though the 1940 version, starring Shirley Temple), ran a close second. The story is the familiar one about two mittel-European youngers, Tyltyl (Robin MacDougall) and Mytyl (Tula Belle), who, unhappy with their present lots in life, embark upon a search for the Bluebird of Happiness. In the course of their odyssey, the children pay extended visits to the Palace of Joy and Delights and The Land of the Unborn, with a quick stop-over at the graves of their briefly resurrected grandparents. Learning an important Life Lesson at every turn, the kids discover what they should have known at the beginning: That the Bluebird of Happiness was in their own backyard all the time. A brilliant collage of genuine exterior scenes and splendiferous studio-designed sets, The Blue Bird may have seemed a bit stagey at times (indeed, it sometimes looked exactly like the stage play from which it was derived), but in terms of sheer beauty and entertainment value, the film could not be faulted. Some historians consider the film to be the best of Maurice Tourneur's surviving silent films, surpassing even his 1922 masterpiece The Last of the Mohicans.~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

EPA Signs MOU with The Green Grid to Enhance Energy Efficiency
Release Date: 04/22/2008
Contact Information: Suzanne Ackerman, (202) 564-4355 / email@example.com
(Washington, D.C. - April 22, 2008) On April 21, EPA signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Green Grid to promote energy efficiency in small computer rooms. This event recognizes the innovative efforts of EPA and the Information Technology (IT) industry to promote the "greening" of computer facilities. The effort begins with evaluating an existing EPA computer room for ways to optimize energy efficiency, then finding ways to standardize processes and performance measures. Ultimately, the goal of this partnership is to share best practices for replication with other governmental agencies and industry stakeholders. Future partnerships between EPA, federal partners, and associations will help design and build our way into a green federal IT infrastructure.
Computer rooms across the United States accounted for an astonishing 1.5 percent of total U.S. electricity demand in 2006 - equivalent to the annual electric consumption of the state of Florida. "Throughout the U.S., computer centers are becoming the fastest growing users of energy. As this sector experiences tremendous growth, EPA and The Green Grid see tremendous opportunity," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "By investing in energy efficiency in our own computer centers, we are proving that doing what's good for the environment is also good for the bottom line." While these computer rooms may be small, they are numerous at EPA and other large organizations, and this effort promises to yield large energy savings.
EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson and John Tuccillo, a director of The Green Grid, formalized the MOU in a signing ceremony held in Washington, D.C.
Energy Efficiency at the NCC
EPA has already begun reducing energy consumption in its National Computer Center (NCC) in Research Triangle Park, N.C. In FY 2007, EPA initiated numerous energy saving projects at the NCC including high-efficiency lighting, solar panels, and heating and cooling systems designed to prevent energy waste. The NCC achieved a 20.2 percent reduction in total energy use (e.g. gas, electric, etc.) for FY 2007 compared to FY 2006. This reduction surpasses the FY07 Conserve (EPA's energy tracking and forecasting strategy) goal of five percent for the NCC and equates to a considerable energy cost savings. In addition to recommissioning the entire facility, EPA focused significant effort in improving the energy performance of the computer wing. An extensive third party review of the data center's operating conditions resulted in EPA shutting off six of the facility's 13 computer room air conditioning units, while still meeting the sensitive cooling needs of the computer equipment. For more information on energy efficiency at the NCC: https://www.epa.gov/greeningepa/facilities/rtp_ncc.htm For more information on EPA's energy strategy ConserveE and EPA's FY 2007 Energy Management and Conservation Program Report: https://www.epa.gov/greeningepa/documents/2007energy_report508.pdf
About The Green Grid
The Green Grid is a global consortium of companies dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. The Green Grid does not endorse any vendor-specific products or solutions, and will seek to provide industry-wide recommendations on best practices, metrics and technologies that will improve overall data center energy efficiencies. Membership is open to companies interested in data center operational efficiency. Additional information is available at: http://www.thegreengrid.org

In the Nile River city of Luxor, assailants bearing knives and firearms massacred 62 foreign tourists and Egyptians in the majestic Temple of Hatshepsut in 1997. Some of the attackers belonged to the Gamaa Islamiyah, a militant group that announced last month it's forming a political party.
The group, led at one time by Omar Abdel Rahman, the "blind sheikh" serving life in a US federal prison for his role in the 1993 attack on the World Trade Center, is just one of a slew of Islamist organizations mobilizing for a share of the spoils in post-Mubarak Egypt. Though the group renounced violence in a deal brokered with Hosni Mubarak soon after the Luxor massacre, its members still adhere to the hard-line salafi interpretation of Islam.
"It's fascinating because you essentially have a former terrorist group deciding to throw its [hat] into the political arena," says Shadi Hamid of the Brookings Institution in Doha, who studies democratization in the region. "That's always a big deal, and it suggests that everyone wants a piece of the pie."
The salafis were forced underground by the Mubarak police state. Since his fall, they've had almost unprecedented freedom. But finding their voice has been accompanied by sectarian violence between Coptic Christians and groups that claim allegiance to the salafist movement. For many Egyptians, that scattered fighting is raising concerns about Egypt's Islamists going forward.
The United States fears that the chaos of a country in transition could lead to an increase in Islamist militancy in Egypt, and that some of the emerging salafi groups might turn to violence.
Earlier this month, US Coordinator for Counterterrorism Daniel Benjamin was among representatives from 30 countries and organizations who attended the Global Counterterrorism Forum in Cairo. Mr. Benjamin also met with senior Egyptian officials in defense and security.
"Many countries are trying to build relations with the new Egyptian government right now – the new people running things – and say, we have similar interests and concerns in trying to keep the bad guys out," says a Western diplomat in Cairo, speaking on condition of anonymity.
A push for sharia
Gamaa Islamiya (GI) has not yet announced its party platform. But like half a dozen other salafist parties, it is urging governance by Islamic law, known as sharia.
"I don't think anyone should be under the impression that [GI] has become moderate," Dr. Hamid says. "No – this is going to be a very conservative anti-western, anti-secular, Islamist party. This will not be like the Muslim Brotherhood in that respect." The GI insists that women's faces must be covered in public, and is generally less flexible than the Muslim Brotherhood on how Islam should be interpreted in the modern world.
The GI emerged from student groups in the 1970s after the Muslim Brotherhood renounced violence. For the next two decades, they carried out terrorist attacks and partnered with the Egyptian Islamic Jihad to assassinate Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1981. Islamic Jihad leader Ayman al-Zawahiri went on to be Osama bin Laden's No. 2 in Al Qaeda, and has now succeeded bin Laden as the group's official leader.
But over time, militant Islamist groups in Egypt lost support because of their violence. The Islamic Jihad eventually renounced violence as well (Zawahiri and many of his confederates, however, fled the region for Pakistan and Afghanistan). Today, the GI in Egypt claims to have about 50,000 members, according to Stephane Lacroix, an assistant professor at Sciences Po in Paris who studies militant Islam.
'Tea Party effect' could lessen Egyptian support for Israel
Analysts say Islamist groups have little chance of winning a large number of seats in upcoming elections, but that their mobilization will still have an impact.
The Brotherhood will no longer have a monopoly on the religious vote and will be forced to compete with more conservative groups that might ultimately drag religious parties in a more overtly pro-sharia direction, analysts say.
"It's like a Tea Party effect in the US," Hamid says. "You might end up seeing something similar in Egypt, where right-wing parties pull the Muslim Brotherhood and other mainstream parties to compete more on their turf."
Lacroix, however, argues that the opposite is also possible. Liberal groups could pull mainstream parties to the left.
Some Western governments are concerned that if politics shift toward the hard-liners, Egyptian government support for Israel cemented by years of financial aid could be threatened. Other concerns include women's rights and treatment of religious minorities.
Danger of disillusionment
On the positive side of the ledger, Islamist groups' incorporation into a political system could also help decrease the risk of terrorism, some analysts say.
Paul R. Pillar of Georgetown University's Security Studies program, a former US national intelligence officer for the Near East and South Asia, argues that when groups like GI are allowed to take part in political processes, they are less likely to use violence to achieve their aims.
"They will now enter the political field and try to train and adapt themselves to political standards and with time they have to be more modern," says Diaa Rashwan of Egypt's Al Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies.
But Egypt's liberals are not enthused. "We didn't start the revolution for the Islamists to steal it from us," says Amal Sharaf of the April 6 Youth Movement, who views religious parties as a threat to democracy.
But the salafis could well become more influential than their secular rivals, who have little funding and have shown minimal organizational skills.
"I don't know if it's a case of crying fire in a crowded theater on the part of these Egyptians… but the reality is that these liberals are not organizing themselves as a solid group, a party that would be able to combat the rise of Islamist, salafist groups," the Western diplomat says. "You have to look at people and say, 'Okay, stop your hand-wringing and do something.'"
The main concern for Dr. Pillar is that some Egyptians might move toward salafist groups if new political processes fail, either because the ruling military council doesn't help facilitate a smooth transition toward democracy, or because Egyptians don't see rapid improvement in their economic conditions over the next several years.
"That may cause more people to turn to extremist ideologies and to accept extremist messages that peaceful democracy doesn't work – that the extremists are right," he says.

A BlankTV Feature Presentation:
Ménage - "Bury Us Young"
This video, starring Lola and Michael, was shot in the Echo Park area of Los Angeles. The song was inspired by living in Echo Park, and is actually mentioned within the lyrics, so it only seemed natural to film it there.
"We wanted the characters to be played by children because the song is about our life in LA, away from our parents, in a town so very foreign from absolutely everything we grew up knowing. In the midst of all the madness and the lifestyle that possessed who we once were, and doing things that people back home were claiming would indeed wind up 'burying us young'. We did, ultimately, feel like children being set free into an urban jungle. The characters reflect us.
The window we peer through, shows us some of the things they get involved in; devious, sometimes dangerous, all in efforts to feel free, self sufficient, and hungry to survive. The sweet ending is the summary of it all, and the summary of us three. It shows that through all their erratic, delinquent behavior, their innocence is not lost. This is seen in the shy kiss at the end.
The characters of the kids are alive and coming into their own, as lost as they are, they are sincere and gritty, breaking all rules and past molds. The same is reflected in the live performance footage in the video. We are very much in love with raw energy in this video and think it embodies who we are as a band, and what we have lived through as individuals. This is Ménage unapologetically presenting ourselves to the world."

Hitchcock thriller from 1940
Dennis and I watched "Foreign Correspondent" tonight on Turner Classic Movies. It's a great Alfred Hitchcock movie that was made in 1940, the year that my mom graduated from high school.
Dennis watched for Alfred Hitchcock's cameo appearance through the whole movie, but somehow he missed it.
We speculated that he was one of the people in the movie's great crowd scene* where you look down at the round tops of dozens of open umbrellas and you follow the bad guy's escape by the disturbance he makes in the umbrellas.
However, according to an online list of Alfred Hitchcock's Cameo Appearances, Albert's appearance was "[e]arly in the movie, after Joel McCrea leaves his hotel, wearing a coat and hat and reading a newspaper." He must have been standing on the street.
Beyond the cameo which we didn't catch, the movie was dramatic with a complex spy thriller plot. The story and the relationships within it were interesting, and the plane crash scene at the end was amazingly realistic. There were quite a few creepy Hitchcock moments also, and some interesting plot twists.
We thought the movie was very much a glimpse back into the political turmoil immediately before World War II, as well as an interesting documentary of life as it was lived in 1940.
The movie ends with Joel McCrea standing at the microphone reporting to America from London. All the lights have gone out and bombs are falling. Americans who saw the movie in 1940 must have been chilled by his message:
Okay, we'll tell 'em then. I can't read the rest of the speech I had, 'cause the lights have gone out, so I'll just have to speak from the cuff. All that noise you hear isn't static - it's death, coming to London. Yes, they're coming here now. You can hear the bombs falling on the streets and on the homes. Don't tune me out, hang on a while - this is a big story, and you're part of it, it's too late to do anything here now except stand in the dark and let them come... as if the lights were out everywhere, except in America. Keep those lights burning, cover them with steel, ring them with guns, build a canopy of battleships and bombing planes around them. Hello, America, hang on to your lights: they're the only ones left in the world! (Source: Wikipedia)
As I listened to the "broadcast" of these words, I thought about my mother graduating from high school in 1940. I looked at a timeline of 1940 after the movie ended, and I can understand why she always stressed that her class graduated into a frightening and uncertain world. By May of 1940, Nazi Germany's blitzkrieg was well underway and western Europe was falling.

Alumni Field, Westfield, Mass.
WESTFIELD, Mass. -- Senior Gregg Jackson's (Wolcott, Conn.) 20-yard interception return with seven minutes remaining snapped a 27-27 tie and lifted Westfield State to a 37-27 Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference football victory over Massachusetts Maritime Saturday afternoon at Alumni Field.
Jackson's heroics came after the host Owls (4-2, 3-1 MASCAC) saw a 20-point third quarter lead slip away in the early moments of the final frame, as a 68-yard scoring strike from senior Mike Stanton (Quincy, Mass.) to junior E.J. Bennett (East Wareham, Mass.) just 2:52 into the stanza enabled the visiting Buccaneers (3-3, 1-3 MASCAC) to draw even. After an exchange of two punts each gave Massachusetts Maritime the ball back, Jackson stepped in front of Stanton pass and deep in the visitors' territory and returned it for the deciding score, as freshman Michael Orellana's (Springfield, Mass.) 42-yard field goal with 2:32 remaining iced the hosts' triumph.
After a scoreless first quarter, Westfield State grabbed a 7-0 lead midway through the frame on senior Tim Rich's (Chelmsford, Mass.) one-yard plunge that capped a 17-play, 90-yard drive, but the Buccaneers evened matters on their next possession when Bennett hauled in a 24-yard touchdown pass from junior John Trudel (Niantic, Conn.). The Owls responded with a nine-play, 63-yard drive that was capped when Rich found senior Kane Terilli (Cranston, R.I.) on a 13-yard scoring connection with 15 seconds to play in the half and a 13-7 lead at the break, and a pair of touchdown runs of 26 and 15 yards from senior Brian Beauchemin (Athol, Mass.) in the opening 6:42 after intermission extended the hosts' advantage to 27-7 with 8:18 remaining in the third stanza. Massachusetts Maritime began its comeback when Trudel found sophomore David Yerxa (Milford, Conn.) for a 12-yard touchdown pass on the ensuing possession, and Bennett closed that gap back to seven with 53 seconds remaining in the quarter on a 2-yard pass from Trudel, setting up the frantic fourth quarter finish that saw the Buccaneers tie the game and Jackson's heroics give Westfield State its triumph.
Beauchemin rushed for 131 yards on 18 carries to go with his two scores in the win for the Owls, as Rich completed 24-of-39 attempts for 268 yards, with Terilli hauling in 13 receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown for Westfield State, which amassed 436 yards of total offense in running 90 plays. Bennett shattered Massachusetts Maritime's single-game receiving yards mark with 274 yards on 15 catches (two shy of his own single-game mark of 17 set on September 28th at Worcester State), as Stanton completed 24-of-47 attempts for 315 yards on the day. Trudel has now accounted for 15 touchdowns in running just 79 plays from scrimmage on the season, nine of which have come through the air. The Buccaneers, who entered the game ranked second nationally in Division III in total offense at 582.6 yards per game, collected 440 yards in running 86 plays in just 21:20 of possession time.
Sophomore Breno Pessanha (Worcester, Mass.) paced Westfield State defensively with eight solo tackles, while Jackson added six stops to go with his pick six for the Owls. Sophomore Matthew King (Scituate, Mass.) registered a career-high total tackles (eight solo) in the setback for Massachusetts Maritime, which also received a career-best 12 tackles (seven solo) from sophomore Mike Williams (Marshfield, Mass.).
Massachusetts Maritime hosts UMass Dartmouth in a Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference match-up next Saturday afternoon at Clean Harbors Stadium that kicks off at Noon, while Westfield State travels to Bridgewater, Mass. to take on Bridgewater State in a MASCAC contest that begins at 1:00 p.m.

However, I've gotten really good at balancing the bottles on my thighs, so I can still function. But, maybe I'll splurge and treat myself to a hands-free bra. I bet it would make things much easier and I deserve one!

I have a fun post for you today. The JustRite Stampers Design Team have teamed up with the Stampers Dream Design Team to bring you a fun blog hop to introduce to you the JustRite new releases for March, which include:
Song in my Heart, My Rainbow, Heart to Heart, Hugs to You, Charmed, Vintage Ovals and Elegant Frames
To make this event even more fabby there are some goodies to be won too :) - more about that a bit further down in this post...
I am all about jazzing up everyday objects to make them extra special for celebratory occasions. For today's project I started out with a simple white box. I stamped a beautiful decorative border from JustRite's Elegant Frames set and cut/embossed the shape using Spellbinders Labels Twenty
Next I stamped the sentiment, also from JustRite's Elegant Frames set, on white cardstock and cut out the beautiful tag shape using JustRite's custom Spellbinders Nested Frame die template. After securing ribbon to all four sides and tying a luxurious bow on top I finished my project with a beautiful oversized butterfly, also from Spellbinders.
{How To}
One of the fun techniques that can be achieved with the JustRite custom die templates is called the letterpress technique. Start off by appling ink directly to the die template. Carefully flip over the die template onto your cardstock and secure with a strip of tape. Cut/emboss the tag. Once you remove your shape from the die template you will have a beautiful shape with perfectly inked 'letterpressed' edges.
Along the hop JustRite Stampers have 3 great blog candy prizes hidden! No one knows where the blog candy is! For your chance to win one of these three prizes simply leave a comment on each blog. Blog comments will remainn open until 8 pm CST - Tuesday March 22nd. The 3 winners will be announced on the Stamper's Dream Blog and the JustRite Blog on Wednesday March 23rd.
Here is what you have a chance to win:
4 JustRite Stamps sets of your Choice
$50.00 Prize package from Stamper's Dream
$50.00 Shopping Spree to the JustRite Webstore.

DENVER (AP) — The father of slain child beauty pageant contestant JonBenet Ramsey says he now believes it's not a good idea to put your child on public display.
John Ramsey tells ABC News he remembers his daughter appearing in a Christmas parade days before the 6-year-old was found strangled in the family's home in Boulder, Colo., in 1996. He says his mother-in-law later told him a strange man had approached the car that was carrying JonBenet during the parade, and it made her uncomfortable.
Ramsey, who has ties to Charlevoix, is promoting his new book titled "The Other Side of Suffering." He. says thinking about those things now makes him cringe.
Police haven't found JonBenet's killer. At one point investigators, said her parents were under suspicion, but prosecutors have cleared them.
JonBenet's mother, Patsy Ramsey, died of ovarian cancer in 2006.

text: The Hutchinson Fast Air is the only sealant Hutchinson recommends with their tubeless tires. It is a latex-based sealant that comes in a 75ml CO2 canister. It both inflates tires from 0 psi and seals from punctures. It can be applied before initial inflation or on a ride after a tire has gone flat (we recommend inspecting tire for cuts before using Fast Air). It can inflate a 26x2. 0 MTB tire to 30psi or a 700x23 road tire to 80psi in less than 90 seconds. In both cases, the pressure is a bit low, but should be enough to ride home on. We recommend being careful when applying. We've found that having the can off-center results in sealant squirting out onto the rim and leaving a latex hairball.

It is a computer program designed to infect files. In addition, some can have annoying, destructive or even irreparable effects on systems.
When they enter a system, without the user's consent or knowledge, they are normally hosted within the code of other programs. The virus does not act until the infected program is run. Some of them are programmed to activate when a certain condition is met (a specific date, a certain user action, etc.).
The term 'virus' is used due to the similarity with biological viruses. Just as biological viruses enter the human body and infect a cell, which in turn infects new cells, computer viruses enter computers and infect files by inserting their "code". When the infected program is run, the code is activated and the virus begins to spread.
The effects of viruses can be highly annoying to users as an infection of a file can lead to computer slowdowns or alteration of system behavior and functionality.
Viruses normally target executable programs (files with .EXE or .COM extensions). However, they can also infect other types of files, such as web pages (.HTML), Word documents (.DOC), spreadsheets (.XLS), etc.
Viruses can be classified according to several criteria: according to their functionality, the techniques they use to infect, the types of files they infect, the places they hide, the operating system or platforms they attack, etc.
One of the first and most dangerous examples of this category was the virus called Virus Jerusalem.
Viruses have not evolved significantly, as even today they are still created with the same objective: infecting files. Cyber-crooks do not create viruses for financial gain, which is, today, the main objective of these individuals. In fact, these types of threats have been in decline since 2005, as can be seen in the following diagram:
Despite the fact that the objective of viruses has not changed, there has been a change in the way infected files are distributed.
Initially, the spread of a virus was limited to the environment of the infected computer: as most computers were not connected to networks, an infected file would have to be physically transported to a new computer, which was achieved primarily through floppy disks. It would therefore take weeks for a virus to be transmitted, say, from one city to another. However, with the expansion of the Internet, viruses were able to travel around the world in just a few seconds.
Currently, the percentage of malware traffic represented by the Trojans worldwide is: Adware: 20.26%
Despite the declining prevalence of this type of threat, users should be on their guard and protect themselves against viruses. There are a series of basic measures that users can take to ensure that computers are protected against viruses:

HTC Droid Incredible, that is. Gingerbread is the Android version to have, and manufacturers are continuously trying to get the latest OS on the newest devices. Some older devices are definitely capable of handling a Gingerbread update, though. Like the HTC Droid Incredible, one of the most loved devices Verizon has ever seen.
Droid Incredible users will be happy to know that dessert is served. Just when we thought this update would never show up, Verizon has posted the software update PDF files. The good ol' Droid Incredible is actually getting Android 2.3.4, along with some other well-deserved fixes.
Update Fixes
- MMS messages will now send correctly
- Properly save audio files from MMS messages
- Successfully play audio from MMS messages
- Internet connection via Bluetooth now enabled
- VZ Navigator now operates on Wifi
- Change songs in the music widget by tapping the forward button
- Camera now functions with an SD card inserted
This is great and all, but what you guys really want to know is when the OTA is scheduled to roll out. (You've been waiting enough!). While the dates are not specified on Verizon's website, our friends at Android Central have gotten word that the update starts rolling out tomorrow, August 16. It seems only 10,000 users will be getting the update tomorrow, though. Another 50,000 updates will roll out Wednesday, and the rest of the users will get it on Friday.
There ya go! Our beloved Droid Incredible is getting Gingerbread after all. So you might be able to hold on to it for a while more. Time to start the Update Check chaos. Don't forget to take a look at the Update details and the instructions from Verizon's website.
What do you guys say? Well deserved, right? Will you be keeping that Droid Incredible longer, now that you'll be getting Gingerbread?

Life in Christian County, Kentucky...
Our Mennonite neighbors have been to Good Friday services this morning. I believe they reserve this day for worship and meditation and don't do any work except for the care that is essential for their animals.
Isn't is comforting to know that we live in a country where a relgious faith can choose such a life--horses and carriages, no wires to the outside world?
These pictures also remind me of a time when my husband and I were travelling through Amish country in PA. Our dog at the time could not keep himself from barking at the carriage horses as we drove past. Luckily those horses don't spook at much!
CONTENTMENT: Keep your heart free from hate, your mind from worry, live simply, expect little, give much, sing often, pray always, forget self, think of others and their feelings, fill your heart with love, scatter sunshine. These are the tried links in the golden chain of contentment.
(Author unknown)
IT IS STILL BEST to be honest and truthful; to make the most of what we have; to be happy with simple pleasure; and to be cheerful and have courage when things go wrong.
(Laura Ingalls Wilder, 1867-1957)
Thanks for reading.

Rocky Horror Picture Show, The/Shock Treatment (UK - DVD R2)
Paul Greenwood takes a jump to the left with his review of the camp cult-classics
There's a cracking documentary called Midnight Movies: From the Margin to the Mainstream which chronicles the rise of the, erm, midnight movie, through the early and mid '70s. Stuff that was the very definition of cult— Eraserhead, Pink Flamingoes, that kind of thing—would pack out fleapit cinemas every Saturday night for months on end, turning underground films into box office sensations. One of the films featured is The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which was considered a flop on its initial release, but word of mouth and repeat business turned into one of the biggest hits of the decade.
Adapted by Richard O'Brien from his own stage musical, it's styled very much like a '50s B-movie, complete with acting, direction, dialogue and visible microphones that wouldn't be out of place on Mystery Science Theater. Brad and Janet (Bostwick and Sarandon) are the all-American couple, out driving during a terrible thunderstorm on their way to visit an old professor friend. Naturally their car breaks down and they head for a nearby castle in search of a phone. There they encounter a collection of singing weirdoes, led by Frank N Furter (Curry), a mad scientist resplendent in basque and fishnet stockings. He's been working on bringing his pet creation, the Adonis like Rocky, to life and sets about trying to seduce our heroes. But all is not as it seems.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show really is pretty plotless, and its reason for existing is little more than an excuse for one musical set piece after another. But therein lies the hook—the songs are (nearly all) among the most insanely catchy you're likely to hear in a movie....sub Lloyd Webber '70s kitsch they may be, but I've been singing (if not actually doing) the bloody Time Warp all week.
The second factor behind the success and longevity of Rocky (and it may almost be as important as the first) is Tim Curry in an astonishing performance as the sweet transvestite from Transsexual, Transylvania. Think 'Stupid Sexy Flanders' multiplied by Freddie Mercury to get an idea of how charismatic, sexualised and downright appealing he is as he lusts after Brad, Janet and Rocky with equal ardour.
Elsewhere, there's not that much to get excited about. The best songs (Time Warp, Sweet Transvestite) come early but the rest—and there are many of them—are still good fun if not quite as memorable. O'Brien himself camps it up as Riff Raff the butler and Meatloaf pops up briefly as one of Frank's creations—if you've ever ached to see him share the screen with Christopher Biggins, this is the film for you.
Shock Treatment is the little-seen sequel of sorts that followed in 1981. Brad and Janet return but are now played by Cliff De Young and Jessica Harper. Back in their wholesome town of Denton, they take part in a TV show called 'The Marriage Maze' which ends with Brad in a straitjacket receiving the shock treatment of the title while the show's sponsor, Farley Flavors (also De Young), tries to steal Janet by making her into a star.
The quality of the songs is highly variable—some are fine, peppy and fun, but some are just terrible and there certainly aren't any that come close to the best of the first film. Some of the cast return (O'Brien and Quinn as doctors on a soap opera) but a lead with the presence of Curry is sorely missed. The film as a whole is horribly flat and just trying too hard to be bizarre without ever managing to achieve the perverse attraction of Rocky.
The standard of the picture is really pretty good for the most part, with excellent clarity depth if not sharpness. Colours are rich and skin tones are realistic, especially given the wild variations that can occur in lighting. Even in scenes where there are lots of very bright flashing lights, the transfer copes well with no flaring or smearing. The print does suffer from very occasional speckles, but otherwise there's no major damage or blemishes.
Audio comes in the shape of a patchy but reasonably effective 5.1 track. Dialogue can be tinny and lacking in strength and clarity, but songs are more forceful even if there isn't much help from the rears. Effects like thunder and lightning are bold and well supported by the LFE channel while the reanimation of Rocky finally gives the rears something to do.
All the extras on the first disc represent different ways of watching the film. First up is a commentary featuring O'Brien and Patricia Quinn who played Magenta. They seem to be talking to each other rather than us and spend a lot of time describing what's happening on screen and going off on tangents. There are some decent recollections but a lot of silences making this far from an essential listen.
'Multi View Theater Experience' leaves the film at various points and cuts to an audience who are acting out scenes from the film. 'Participation Prompter' is a subtitle track that tells you when to perform various actions throughout the film. Finally, there's 'Audience Participation', which essentially renders the film unwatchable, as all you'll be able to hear is an incoherent rabble drowning out the dialogue and songs.
Disc two kicks off with a thorough but not very exciting doc called 'Rocky Horror Double Feature Video Show', running for thirty seven minutes. It begins with its origins as a stage show before moving on to the low budget movie adaptation where some of the original cast were kept. There are fairly recent interviews with the rather dry producers but the stuff from Curry, Sarandon and Meatloaf looks like it was filmed in the '80 judging by the hairdos. They discuss how the film was a flop but took off at midnight shows.
Excerpts from VH-1 'Behind the Music' and 'Where Are They Now' is the other featurette and runs for a total of forty five minutes. It's broken up into several chunks featuring recent interviews with the likes of O'Brien and Meatloaf who offer interesting recollections of the stage show and the making of the film. Bostwick and Sarandon also appear, the former discussing how the resurrection of the film took him by surprise and how it was very much a product of its time, while Sarandon focuses more on her singing involvement.
'Outtakes' isn't so much outtakes as alternate takes of certain scenes—there are two alternate camera angle views of the Time Warp, five of Brad & Janet Undressed, two of Janet's Seduction and two of the Floor Show Preparations. There's a deleted song: Once in a While. 'Sing-A-Long' is basically a karaoke function for two of the songs—Toucha Toucha Touch Me and Sweet Transvestite. 'Alternate Credit Ending' is the same ending but with, erm, alternate credits.
'The Misprint Ending' shows how some prints of the film originally had the pictures from one song while a different song played on the soundtrack. Things are rounded off by the theatrical trailer and a photo gallery. Shock Treatment contains no extras.
It would appear that the extras on Rocky are exactly the same as those that appeared on the Anniversary Edition a few years back, so if you've got that then the only reason to pick this up would be for the rarity that is Shock Treatment—shame it's mince.
Rocky on the other hand is the sort of movie that has become a religion to some, while others will loathe it to their very core. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to check it out one time. It's just a jump to the left......

Sept. 29, 2007
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Coast Guard junior David O'Brien nodded home the winning goal with just 22 seconds remaining in double overtime, as the visiting Bears downed New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) foe MIT, 2-1, on Saturday morning. The loss was the first of the season for the Engineers at Steinbrenner Stadium.
Prior to Saturday's setback, the Cardinal and Gray had been 4-0-1 at home. With the defeat, it dropped to 5-3-1 overall and 0-2-1 in the conference, while Coast Guard improved to 6-3-0 and 1-1-0.
The Bears nearly opened the scoring in the 20th minute, but junior Thomas Cameron saw his powerful diving header hit the outside of the right post and bounce to safety. 12 minutes later, Coast Guard teammate Nate Wojcik also came close, as he reached a teasing cross by senior captain Martin Villa before Tech goalkeeper Tom Caldwell. However, Caldwell did enough to put Wojcik off and force his effort just wide.
MIT also saw quality first-half scoring opportunities go begging, as junior Andrew Bishara's dangerous 23rd minute free kick was blocked by the wall and sophomore Adam Talsma's flashing 30th minute header flew narrowly over the crossbar.
The deadlock was finally broken in the 60th minute, as Coast Guard defender Ben Walsh's cross beat the Engineers' offside trap and left rookie forward Nick Devine in alone on Caldwell. The freshman's rocket shot from a tight angle found the near upper corner, leaving the keeper no chance and staking the Bears to a 1-0 lead.
Bishara's curling 20-yard effort in the 66th minute looked likely to even the score, but the ball hit the face of the left post.
Talsma would eventually draw the home side level in the 83rd minute, however, with his second strike of the season. After receiving the ball just outside the six-yard box, the Guatemala City, Guatemala native had his first effort cleared off the line by a Coast Guard defender, but he was on hand to bundle home his own rebound to knot the score at 1-1 and send the match into overtime.
Chances were limited for both sides in the extra sessions, and the contest looked destined to end in a stalemate. However, with just 22 seconds remaining in the second overtime period, a corner kick by Walsh provided the Bears with a last chance to steal victory. The junior's serve was met at the back post by Peter Deneen, and the forward headed back across the face of the goal to O'Brien, whose downward header bounced into the upper corner of the net to secure his third goal of the season.
Caldwell made a pair of excellent saves for the Engineers and finished with four stops overall, while freshman Chris Tarbell made five saves for the Bears.
MIT will now hit the road for four straight games, beginning with a match at Brandeis University on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at 4:00 p.m. Coast Guard also next plays away from home at the same date and time, as it travels to Salve Regina University.

Sol Cohen Youth Project

Sol Cohen Youth Project provides leisure and educational activities to young orthodox Jewish people in Stamford Hill. The grant funded cycle training for their girls group, offering the chance to develop confidence and skill in road riding.
Project outcomes –
Young people involved gained a greater awareness and skill in riding their bikes on the road. This has given them greater confidence and promoted cycling as a way to not only have fun but to get about to the places they want to go.
Many parents of the project's members prefer their children to have undertaken cycle training before riding on the roads. This has provided confidence to those parents and also promoted cycling opportunities to other parents and members of the Project.
Some of the perceptions that cycling isn't a 'girl's' activity have been broken. Initially, the Sol Cohen Youth Project took some persuasion to offer the activity of cycle training to its girls' youth group. This was largely due to perceptions that young girls from the orthodox Jewish community would not take up cycling as an activity. The project youth worker stated, "I really didn't think it would work, but it did!"
Project offered a new activity to its girls group.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), a self-proclaimed lover of baseball, has developed a fondness for a new pastime: attacking Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Today Reid took to the Senate floor, and later the cameras, to lob insults at Romney and highlight the former Massachusetts governor's latest campaign stumble, surreptitiously recorded statements to donors in Florida that 47 percent of Americans don't pay federal income taxes and would never vote for him. Romney said that would not "worry about those people."
"Remember, he's running for president of the United States, not a percentage of the states," Reid said. "The job of president is to fight for everybody, regardless of the wealth, social status or what political party they belong to."
Reid then circled back to question why Romney won't release records of his tax returns. It's a challenge he has repeatedly issued on the Senate floor, despite some complaints from Republicans that he is overly politicizing the chamber.
Reid has claimed that an investor at Romney's former firm, Bain Capital, told him that Romney has not paid taxes in 10 years. Though Reid has never divulged his source, Romney also has not released the returns.
"For all we know, Mitt Romney could be one of those who have paid no federal income tax. But since he refused to release his returns, except for the one year after he decided to run for president, we'll never know," Reid quipped.
While Reid basked in the spotlight, Senate Republicans tried to avoid it. Rank-and-file Members were swarmed as they tried to vote and lunch in the Capitol, but Senate GOP leaders did not take questions in front of the cameras at their weekly media availability, instead leaving Senators such as John Thune (S.D.) and Roy Blunt (Mo.) to gaggle with reporters.
Reid earlier had questioned the separation Hill Republicans have started to build between themselves and Romney.
"Well, we have a long line of people who are running from Romney as if the Olympics are still on," Reid said, throwing in the latest sports metaphor of the cycle. "We have [the] governor [of] New Mexico [who] is running really fast. We have [Sen. Scott] Brown in Massachusetts, he's sprinting out there. We have [Linda] McMahon in Connecticut running for the Senate, she's way out there. We have lots of people running from him. And obviously there's a good reason for running."
He even got in a jab at fellow Nevada Sen. Dean Heller (R), who told reporters earlier in the day that he has a "very different view of the world" from Romney and said, "I don't write anybody off."
"I'm told that Dean Heller is running [from Romney], but Dean's gotta be very careful because ... I think he recognized how toxic Romney's comments are, but that's interesting coming from someone who just a short time ago compared the unemployed people to hobos, that was his word, hobos," Reid said.
With 49 days until Election Day, this week on Capitol Hill has been like the seventh inning stretch - everyone in the stands has been making a lot of noise in lieu of being a part of the action on the field. And Reid, it seems, is really enjoying being a part of the chorus.

by MistaT » Wed Mar 20, 2013 9:00 pmAwesome!
by mrorangesoda » Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:10 pmSweet. He tell you any cool stories from the old days? The Marvel Comics:The Untold Story has me more and more interested in that environment.
by Food Eater lad » Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:17 pmYes, we talked about Chris Claremont, Jim Shooter, Steve Ditko, Kirby and John Buscema.
He said he remembers when Claremont first started, he was a kid and a pest. Then he said he came a long way, and that at the last convention they did together they were mistaken for each other and he as asked long questions about the X Men that he couldn't answer. He said they both laughed.
He said that the first three years under Shooter were great. But then he got too controlling and alienated abunch of people. He said he was ready to quit but then Shooter got fired.
He also said that Ditko was one of the smartest people he ever met. But Steve and Stan constantly fought. Stan was always toning down Steve's political views in Spider Man which ticked off Steve. They fought so much that when Stan said that the Green Goblin was Harry's dad, Steve flipped and said it that in a city with millions of people why does everyone have to be connected to Peter Parker? Steve said it wasn't realistic. Stan told Steve that they didn't sell realism, and Steve walked. John said he didn't want to do Spider man, that he felt he was following Steve. He wanted to stay on Daredevil and make his own name. He said every month he was waiting to get fired.
He also showed me his last bottle of ink. He said he his hording it, as he can't find a replacement for it. He joked that when it runs out, he can't draw anymore.
by Food Eater lad » Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:29 pmHe said that John Buscema would tease him for erasing. Romita would erase whole panels that he felt weren't working. Buscema would then tell him to throw away his eraser that kids wouldn't notice, and that it wasn't fine art. He and Gene Colan would get teased a lot for laboring over panels and making sure they were right.
John Romita had a lot of respect for Gene Colan. He also was a fan of Jim Lee, who he said is was a great storyteller.
He also said that his son just got his first royalty check from the Kick Ass movie a few months ago. That bothered him. He said his son had to go and promote the movie, which took him away from working, and then it took years for him to get paid. And with the sequel coming out, he hopes he saved some money cause he will have to be away from his desk for a while only to be paid for it years from now. I can see Hollywood paying everyone BUT the guys who came up with idea. Sounds like them.
He also said he is done with conventions as he can't walk through the crowds anymore. The last convention he was at, some convention security guy actually stopped him from pulling his wheeled case of art supplies and made him carry it! The guy is in his 80s! He said he is done.
And he said something that I just have to agree with 100%. He asked me why is DC trying so hard to make the same mistakes that Image made in the 90s.
I think we are all wondering about that one.
He did lament the near death of printed comics. He said he understands why its happening, but its not something he is looking forward too. He said he felt that comics nearly died in 58, then again in the 70s, but he thinks this is the final gasp. I am sad, but I think he may be right this time.
by Keb » Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:30 pm
by Food Eater lad » Wed Mar 20, 2013 11:58 pmJohn was also sad that so many comic fans, and even artists had no understanding of the history of comics. He said that its shame so many don't know the work of Milton Canif, Charles Biro, and Noel Sickles.
( he got me on that last one)
He also told me to watch Charlie Chapmen films, something I had to admit I never did. So he actually gave me homework.
I am buying a book for him, to thank him for his time, and I will give it to my coworker to give to him. I actually got tears in my eyes when I saw the autograph he did in my comic I brought with me. He laughed and said, "everyone has a better copy of Spider Man 39 then me."
by Food Eater lad » Thu Mar 21, 2013 12:00 amOh, and I almost forgot. I didn't know he worked for 8 years for DC doing romance comics. He said that there is a collection of his DC work out, I have to get it now.

by Zenguru » Sun Mar 24, 2013 4:47 am
I remember reading somewhere that Ditko flew into a rage when Lee made Osborn the Green Goblin. It definitely gave the relationship a deep personal edge for Spidey. But I'm curious to know how things would have worked out Ditko's way. I also read about Romita's hesitation to leave Daredevil and take on Spider-Man. Who knows what the Marvel of today would be like if Ditko stayed and Romita never left Daredevil?
