K-On! (けいおん! Keion!?) is a Japanese four-panel comic strip seinen manga written and illustrated by Kakifly. The manga was serialized in Houbunsha's seinen manga magazine Manga Time Kirara between the May 2007 and October 2010 issues. It was also serialized in Houbunsha's magazine Manga Time Kirara Carat. The manga relaunched from April 2011 to June 2012 with two separate storylines published in Manga Time Kirara and Manga Time Kirara Carat. The manga is licensed in North America by Yen Press.
A 13-episode anime adaptation produced by Kyoto Animation aired in Japan between April and June 2009. An additional original video animation (OVA) episode was released in January 2010. A 26-episode second season, titled K-On!! (with two exclamation marks), aired in Japan between April and September 2010, with an OVA episode released in March 2011. An animated film based on the series was released in Japan on December 3, 2011. Bandai Entertainment had licensed the first season until their closure in 2012. Sentai Filmworks has since re-licensed the first season, in addition to acquiring the rights for the second season and film. The title of the series comes from the Japanese word for light music, keiongaku (軽音楽?), which in the Japanese context is similar to pop music.
In K-On! in an unspecified part of Japan, four Japanese high school girls join the light music club of Sakuragaoka Girl's High School to try to save it from being disbanded. However, they are the only members of the club. At first, Yui Hirasawa has no experience playing musical instruments or reading sheet music, but she eventually becomes an excellent guitar player. From then on, Yui, along with bassist Mio Akiyama, drummer Ritsu Tainaka, and keyboardist Tsumugi Kotobuki spend their school days practicing, performing, and hanging out together. The club is overseen by music teacher Sawako Yamanaka who eventually becomes their homeroom teacher as well during their final year of high school. In their second year, the club welcomes another guitarist, underclassman Azusa Nakano. After Azusa joins they gain more structure and begin to practice more.
After their third year, Yui, Mio, Ritsu and Tsumugi graduate and enroll into a university. There they join its light music club alongside three other students: Akira Wada, Ayame Yoshida, and Sachi Hayashi. Meanwhile, Azusa continues to run the high school light music club alongside Yui's sister Ui, their classmate Jun Suzuki, and new members Sumire Saitō and Nao Okuda.
K-On! began as a four-panel comic-strip manga written and illustrated by Kakifly. The manga was originally serialized in Houbunsha's Manga Time Kirara manga magazine between the May 2007[1] and October 2010 issues, ending on September 9, 2010.[2] The manga also appeared as a guest bimonthly serialization in Manga Time Kirara's sister magazine Manga Time Kirara Carat starting with the October 2008 issue.[3] The manga relaunched from April 2011 to June 2012 in two separate magazines.

Say Goodbye to the Post-Holiday Mess with Tips from The Maids
Jan 03, 2013, 10:28 EST
OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The holidays are over. There is a silvery strand of tinsel entwined in your hair; a mysterious brownish-red stain blemishing the living room carpet; and a blob of baked-on gunk covering the bottom of the stove. In the kitchen, a tower of dishes leans precariously. And it seems that someone used the three-berry dessert you served to create a beautiful finger painting on the bedroom wall. Everyone had way too much fun.
Now it's time to face the remains of the year-end bubbly party and its raucous guests.
The Maids, the only franchised residential cleaning service to clean for health using environmentally preferable products, offers some tips to ease you out of the mess and happily into the New Year.
1. Put the house back in order.
Pick up any trash or food left around the house and take out the garbage.
If you didn't think to do it the night before, run the dishwasher and hand-wash all of the other plates, wine glasses and serving dishes. If you need to, fill sticky pans with warm water and dish soap and let them soak for 20 minutes or so to make cleaning easier.
Walk through all of the rooms where guests congregated and wipe clean any tables or other surfaces where food or sticky fingers may have landed. In most cases a warm water/soap mixture will do the job. Be sure to wipe surfaces dry before you move on.
2. Accidents happen.
A few spills are inevitable during any party. Most stains – berries, alcoholic beverages, gravy and other foods – are water soluble and can be removed by blotting up the stain, working from the outside of the spot inward. Clean using a simple solution of about a teaspoon of non-bleach detergent or white vinegar mixed with a quart (32 ounces) of cool water. Use only a small amount of the solution at a time, rinsing and drying as you go, making sure food dyes or other coloring doesn't spread to clean areas of the carpet.
More stubborn stains – wine, vomit, tea – may need an extra treatment, but you should know what your carpet is made of before trying out products that contain bleach or ammonia.
At least once a year – and now might be a perfect time -- consider having the carpets cleaned professionally or rent a steam cleaner and do the job yourself.
3. It's still Thanksgiving in the refrigerator.
If you haven't used all of the leftovers and you've actually forgotten just what those containers in the way back of the shelf carry, spend a few minutes cleaning out and reorganizing the refrigerator. Toss what you won't eat and plan your menus around what's left. While you are at it, wipe down shelves, paying particular attention to spills or sticky spots.
4. Tidy up the oven.
Luckily, most modern ovens make clean-up a snap.
Self-cleaning ovens use high heat to burn off spills and stains. Try to wipe away the spill using a warm water/vinegar or dishwashing soap mixture. Never use metal utensils or other items to try to scrape away baked-on food. Remove any racks or other items from inside the oven and set the oven to clean. The process usually takes anywhere from two to six hours. Once the process is complete, allow the oven to cool. The high heat will have turned any food and stains into ash. Wipe the residue away with a damp sponge or cloth.
Because continuous-clean ovens perform the chore regularly, most spills and stains do not bake on. Simply wipe the interior of the oven with warm water and dishwashing soap or vinegar.
5. Goodbye decor.
If you don't already have an organizational strategy for all the Santas, lights and mistletoe now gracing your home, develop one now. Save boxes or purchase enough containers to house all holiday decorations. When you are ready to put them away, label each box with the contents so next year's job will be easier.

|3DO Blaster
|Creative Labs
|Fourth generation
The 3DO Blaster is an add-on produced by Creative Labs and designed to allow compatible Windows-based PCs to play games for the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer. It is a full-sized ISA compatibility card, and unlike other such add-ons, it does not emulate a 3DO system, but rather the whole system's logic board is included, with the input (controllers) and output (video & audio) redirected to the PC.
The product was marketed as a single board for CD-ROM drive owners (but only of a particular CD-ROM drive model, see below) or bundled with the necessary CD-ROM drive. The software drivers allowed for DOS or Windows (3.1) based gameplay, although Windows based gaming featured real-time stretching of the game window and screenshot capturing. As graphics boards of the time (1994) were not up to par with the system's needs, a pass-through using a VGA feature connector link was used, thus reserving an area on screen to be used by the 3DO Blaster card's output (on the Windows environment - running under DOS, full-screen was the only option). Thus, there was no impact on the CPU. As with the first 3DO system from Panasonic (REAL FZ-1) an FMV daughter-card enabling Video CD playback was planned, but since the 3DO Blaster failed to achieve momentum, it was never released. Saved games were stored in NVRAM on the card, supposedly not using resources on the PC to prevent hacking.
The only CD-ROM drive that worked with the card was the Creative CR-563 (a Panasonic model, re-branded by Creative).
The card was sold with the cables needed, a 3DO controller by Logitech, and two 3DO games on CD: "Shock Wave" from Electronic Arts and "Gridders" from Tetragon. Despite showing the 'long boxes' of the two games on the back of the packing box, they were included in jewel cases only. A third CD, containing demos of popular 3DO games was also included.Not included was software from Aldus; Aldus Photostyler SE and Aldus Gallery Effects Vol. 1, but pictures of both titles can be seen on the back of the 3DO Blaster packing box.

L. Laurin-Lam and E. Lam, Wifredo Lam: Catalogue Raisonné of the Painted Work, Volume II 1961-1982, Acatos, Laussane, 2002, p. 301, no. 68.04 (illustrated).
Lam returned to Paris in 1952, after spending ten years in his native Cuba. The works he created upon his visit to the island, particularly between 1942 and 1950, constitute a significant body of work and led the artist to the iconic imagery of his late works. The principal forms, gestures, figures and stylistic elements seen in Lam's Parisian works have their origins in works from the 1940s, when Lam embraced Surrealism and returned to his homeland as an adult and a mature artist.
In 1923, Lam left Cuba for Spain to study art, eventually moving to Paris in 1938, where he came into contact with Picasso and was influenced by his work and by Cubism and by collections of African art he encountered there. In 1942, escaping the Second World War, Lam returned to Havana via trans-Atlantic trip to Martinique with a number of European intellectuals, including André Breton and Claude Levi-Strauss. Surrealism, in particular, became an important force in his work; its influence was cemented during this historic trip.
His early relationship and work with André Breton is particularly relevant. Upon encountering Lam, Breton was immediately drawn to him as an authentic being, one unspoiled by European norms, a true primitive from the tropics. Breton writes:
It seems probable that Picasso found in Lam the only confirmation acceptable to him, that of a man who, in relation to his own work, had traveled the same path in the opposite direction. Lam started off with a great fund of the marvelous and the primitive within him, and sought the highest point of consciousness by then assimilating the most skillful discipline of European art, this point of consciousness being also the meeting point with the artist--Picasso--who commenced his own journey with perfect mastery over his disciplines but has always insisted on the necessity of a constant return to basic principles in order to retain the power of rejoining the marvelous.(1)
While in the Caribbean together, Lam and Breton attended vodou ceremonies in Haiti and together produced Fata Morgana, Breton's epic poem about his self-imposed exile illustrated by Lam. The images Lam created for Breton's poem develop his interest in presenting a body that is part animal, part human. From this, he developed his well-known femme cheval (horse woman) figure. Other signature tropes also developed from these drawings, including elongated chins and noses and protruding horns. He also begins to elongate limbs and necks, forms that will eventually become cylindrical appendages in larger paintings. These elongated limbs and features would also become references to sexual organs and to narratives of Afro-Cuban ceremonial rites. In Untitled, (Idoli), we see the development of these figures from those present in works of the mid-1940s and 1950s. Here, the forms of human limbs have become angular, planar shapes that merely allude to body parts.
Also central to this period in Lam's work is the influence of the Chilean painter Roberto Matta (1911-2002). Significantly, it was also André Breton who introduced Matta to Surrealism. Matta left Chile for Paris in 1933 and also spent ten years in New York before returning to Paris in 1948. Perhaps most noteworthy in Matta's work, as it relates to Lam's, is his description of his work as a kind of landscape of the interior mind, or inscape. His blending of mechanical, natural, and human forms across an invented landscape--a reference to the intricate workings of the subconscious-are similar to Lam's own figures that perform a variety of acts and movements linked to the supernatural. In Lam's paintings of the 1940s, his figures alluded to rites and rituals of Santería (now Lucumí) as practiced in Havana and elsewhere in the Caribbean. There are remnants of the performative aspects of this, mixed with Matta's influence, in Lam's later paintings. Matta's works feature dream-like settings, extended limbs, and complex figures that hybridize mechanical and human parts in much the same way that Lam's figures conflate human and animal parts. In Lam's later paintings, the settings are hazy, undefined, dark, and solid-colored, as in many works by Matta from the same period. Across this backdrop, Lam's figures--mostly hands, heads and impossibly long limbs-move across the plane in a slow, surreal dance.

I must admit.
I have caught myself doing what I hate...but at least I caught myself, right?
Here is the thing. I was watching the news, and Hilary Clinton's photo came up, and said to myself,
"ugh, I hate her hair. It looked so much better shorter."
Then, the other night, when Candy Crowly was moderating the debate, I looked at here and said to myself, "Ugh. Candy? Really? Spiral curls? Not a good look."
And then, I stopped.
If Candy and Hilary wear their hair long, curly, ponytails, who cares?
The other day, my colleague and I were at an event, and a young woman was dressed in a nice jacket and incredibly short skirt (as I think is the fashion these days). It was a young fashionista polished look. Here's the thing, though, she was a largish young woman, and the the short skirt , well, revealed a lot of heavy legs. I thought to myself, "Not a good look for you, honey..."
And then I stopped.
I reframed my thought, and said to myself (o.k. yes, I do talk a lot to myself....but isn't the perogative of middle age?), "Good for her for having the confidence to rock her look."
I don't know about you, but I feel like, as women, we need to support what is on the inside of our sisters. I need to be better at this...because we are all socialized to look at the outside in order to assess the whole person.
Don't get me wrong, I love to pick out clothes, I love to don my bracelets and earrings, and pick out lip-gloss. But if I show up wearing baggy pants, ruffled hair, and a shade of lipstick that doesn't really favor my coloring, it makes no difference of who I am on the inside. A strong, capable, proud, beautiful person with depth and integrity.
That's what I need to remember when I encounter people--go beyond the skin. To wonder at the inner life of someone. To think to myself, wow, "Candy Crowley, I wonder what it is like to be you right now--moderating a presidential debate! Did you ever think when you were 16 that this is what you might do someday?"
So, I am going to work on my inner-sexist critic thing. And celebrate confidence and character in women...and men.
And that's it for now!

Friday Five!
Whoopsie! Friday Five
|random photo of Daisy dog
Wow, how is it that it is the second Friday of October, already??
I don't know about you, but this fall has been incredibly FULL, and time is flying faster than I can keep track of it!
So, first things first.
Take a moment, and take 5 deep slow breaths...
Yep, I did it again. It's going to be a breathing kind of weekend.
Well, I feel more centered now.
So, let's get on with a Random Friday Five.
1. Tell us a moment of blessing that you have experienced in the past week.
Well, it's hard to pick one, but yesterday my colleague and I went to the assisted living center next to our church to lead Protestant worship and only one lady showed up. We visited with her and then shared communion together. It was a simple sweet blessing. Her smile and laugh were gentle and sincere.
2. Share the first thing/story that comes to mind when you read "When I was a child..."
2. Share the first thing/story that comes to mind when you read "When I was a child..."
My friend Vanessa and I would spend all day building Barbie doll mansions out of blankets and furniture in her rec room in the basement. By the time we finished, we ran out of time to actually PLAY Barbies.
3, 4, and 5. If you were the host of a t.v. talk show, what three people would you like to interview on your first show, and what would you ask them.
3, 4, and 5. If you were the host of a t.v. talk show, what three people would you like to interview on your first show, and what would you ask them.
I would definitely invite Sylvia the Pet Psychic and have her talk to my cats and dogs that I have adopted to find out what their stories were before I got them from the shelter, street.....
Then I would interview the Property Brothers from HGTV, and have them help me redesign my kitchen.
Finally, I would interview the Dalai Lama, because I am bummed that he is speaking at the tiny Tibetan Buddhist Center two blocks from my home but it's a closed event. I would just ask him to share his heart wisdom.
Clearly, the name of my talk show would be, "All About Me" (shaking my head at myself....)

3. Cold Products and Remedies
Having a cold is not funny, especially when the products to alleviate symptoms are so in the category of "wizardry and hocus pocus". I've spent a lifetime trying to figure them out. Inevitably, years of research and experience had me develop my own regimen of techniques for dealing with a cold. As a service to FOD, my friends, here is JIMBO"S REGIMEN FOR THE TREATMENT OF A COLD
a. At the first sign of a cold –get loaded.
It seems clear to me that an increased alcohol level will kill all of those little microbes that have invaded your nether regions. You're coating your upper respiratory system with the equivalent of an alcohol swab, right? And, as your blood alcohol level rises you are disinfecting your entire body –from the inside.
Numbing yourself also has the effect of giving you that, "I don't give a shit mentality." What a great way to approach the day when your cold has you feeling like death warmed over.
"Jim, it sounds like you have a cold!"
"Fuck off!"
I'll be darned, but research has proven that alcohol actually lowers your immunity. No, way! If that is so, why do so many cough medicines and other elixirs contain alcohol?
b. Take a dose of Airborne ©.
Invented by a teacher, this mixture of herbal/naturopathic remedies can put a cold to bed if you're lucky enough to take it at the first sniffle or sign of a scratchy throat. I mix mine with ginger ale, giving the concoction an orange juice like feel. BONUS: You can combine #1 with #2 by just adding a double shot of vodka. Harvey Wall Banger, anyone?
There's nothing funnier than a snotty nosed drunk, right?
Usually I can get out from under these cold symptoms with just a few applications of this treatment. If the symptoms escalate, then it's on to Phase II - Jimbo's Anti-Viral Shock and Awe Treatment.
c. Roasted Whole Garlic:
Yes, the ancient remedy works wonders if you can stand the smell. Take a whole garlic bulb, break it down into cloves, skin it, slice it and place it in a garlic roaster, then drizzle it with olive oil. I also sprinkle the cloves with oregano (another spice said to have antibiotic properties). Bake this for 12-15 minutes at 350 degrees. You can eat the little suckers right out of the container.
MMMM! MMMMM! Good!
That massive dose of allicin can kill a cold before it kills you.
There are some drawbacks, of course. Your house smells like a pizza shop/Olive Garden and after a few treatments you begin to sweat that "garlic odor" out. No matter, you don't want your friends and loved ones getting too close to you anyway, because spreading those germs brings further complications. You can always spray yourself with Axe Body Spray to mask your Mediterranean swarthiness.
d. BUCKLEY'S COLD MIXTURE©:
So, you have a hacking cough that brings sputum to your mouth, and keeps everyone in the family up all night. Not a pretty picture.
Here in Canada we have a product known as Buckley's Mixture; a foul tasting syrup which can cut your bark down to a whimper. Its taste cannot be described in words, but can be expressed in the facial contortions of those taking it. Watch the trailer to Paranormal Activity (Audience Shots) and you'll know what I mean. It tastes so bad you could put it on your dog's butt to prevent it from licking there.
I've thought of mixing the stuff with Bourbon to cut down the bitter taste, but discovered that drinking the bourbon prior to the Buckley dose is a better practice.
Inebriation begets courage, my friends.
The bottom line is that this product is effective. Even their commercials state, "It tastes awful, but it works!"
BTW, this product contains camphor. Isn't that the stuff they put in horse liniment?
e. Hot Baths:
Oh, yes! When your body is aching and your nasal passages are clogged there's nothing like a steamy hot bath. We have a bubble tub, so once you get those jets blasting; the air is filled with wonderfully southing steam.
The trick is to add a few drops of Tea Tree Oil. That stuff will clear your nasal passages so fast you might have to catch the drippings in a cup.
Tea Tree Oil is used to prevent and alleviate head lice in children. So, for a double-dip, drop your head below the water line, and presto you won't have to worry about "cooties". Hey, you can lie back in that warm water, burn a few candles and sip on your Harvey Wall Banger. What could be better than that?
A535© and Vicks Vapo Rub©, that's what.
f. A535, Vicks Vapo Rub and Socks:
I read once that if you spread Vick's Vapo Rub on your feet and wear your socks to bed you'll stop coughing for the night. Well, my friends, I tried this technique and it seems to work.
There is a drawback, however, in that amorous pursuits will have to be put on hold because now you smell like your grandmother. Smearing it on your chest and neck will also decrease your partner's libido by a factor of 100. I have empirical evidence to prove this.
"Roll over and go back to sleep, Jim!"
I also like to slather A535 –a muscle heating product- on my lower back and ribs. The soothing warmth is amazingly therapeutic.
If you chose (e) above, do not baste yourself with A535 nor spread Vicks Vapo Rub on any part of your body. I did that, forgetting that a hot bath opens your pores. Getting those products in your pores is akin to self-torture. The hot burning heat you feel on your skin is like the sunburn from hell. All you want to do is writhe and contort yourself in a kind of routine worthy of, "So You Think You Can Dance?"
g. Gargle With Salt Water:
Mix a little salt in some warm water, then stir and gargle with that concoction. I heard a Doctor say that this is one of the best preventative measures for colds. It kills germs on contact.
The trouble is, as I remember, I grew up with parents that swallowed salt water in order to make themselves throw up when they were feeling ill. (I used that technique a few times to skip school). So be careful when you're gargling because if you accidently swallow, your cold may quickly escalate into the flu!
h. Hot Drinks from the Pharmaceutical Department
These are a last resort for me.
These hot drinks come in any number of configurations. Some have also graduated to "heating" syrups. The combo of symptoms they fight reads like a Who's Who from the Centre for Disease Control. The only thing I like about them is that they put you into a deep sleep. But, with a deep sleep comes the dreaming.
"Whoooooaaaaa! Help me! I'm being attacked by alien head lice that smell like Tea Tree Oil. They've infested my bathtub and are attempting to lower by voice by 2 octaves."
Believe me, you can walk into a Pharmacy with a cold and walk out of there a pauper with a cold. These things cost an arm and a leg.
So, that's my cold regimen. You can take it for what it's worth. (Probably nothing, because I haven't had a cold yet that didn't go away until IT wanted to.)
I do have some nostalgic remembrances from my youth that may also become remedies of last resort. Like:
The Mustard Plaster:
Get this! My mother spreads a mustard mixture between two pieces of cheese cloth then attaches same to my chest with safety pins pinned to my "jammy" top.
If you think it burns when you put A535 on your body after a bath – then you haven't experienced this method of childhood torture. In the morning this "plaster" has turned to just that. It feels like a solid piece of cardboard and it smells like someone's ass.
The Steamer:
Picture a little ceramic thingy with a heating element.
Fill with water and place at bedside. Slather Vicks Vapo Rub at the steam vent opening. Hot steam is emitted supposedly clearing your passages. But don't reach out in the night or you might receive third degree burns when that sucker tips over. There's also the danger of the water boiling off and the element overheating thus starting a fire. I'd stare at that thing for hours worrying that, the thing that was there to cure me, just might kill me.
The Wet Towel Tied Around the Neck:
Ok, you've got a sore throat that's been killing you for days. No problem. Mom soaks a towel and wraps it around my neck before bedtime. The ever popular safety pin (the giant diaper size) is used to hold said garrote in place.
"Good night, Jimmy. Hope you feel better in the morning!"
I hope I'm alive in the morning. This ligature technique surely wouldn't be considered safe today. Besides I've had those safety pins pop open in the night, giving a piercing I neither wanted or expected.
Someone call Child Services, PLEASE!
Cod Liver Oil
It may prevent scurvy but my mother also believed it prevented/cured colds.
Imagine drinking the oil squeezed from a cod's liver. It tasted worse than Buckley's and smelled like rotting fish. The odor lingered on your breath for hours.
Better to squeeze my liver and drink those oils because I can guarantee you that the alcohol content there is sufficient to kill any microbe - DEAD!
I guess the choice is yours. If you get a cold or the flu you can follow Jimbo's lead or you can take the retro approach and apply "Old wive's tale" techniques for both torture and relief. Nevertheless, this blog is about to become a trilogy. We have two more reasons, "Why A Cold is Not Funny", to explore.
Well, maybe! There seems to be a lot more "funny" happening these days.
BTW –this old cold of mine is almost gone. I almost feel well enough to line up in one of those H1N1 Vaccination lines.

Harry's thoughts
Following the conclusion of the international fixtures, the Premier League will recommence this weekend for the first time since the end of the recent transfer window.
Following the conclusion of the international fixtures, the Premier League will recommence this weekend for the first time since the end of the recent transfer window.
Manager Harry Redknapp offers his thoughts on our business conducted over the summer period.
We made six new additions to the squad in Kyle Naughton, Kyle Walker, Peter Crouch, Sebastien Bassong, Niko Kranjcar and Jimmy Walker, while Didier Zokora, Chris Gunter, Gilberto, Darren Bent, Yuri Berchiche, Pascal Chimbonda and Kevin-Prince Boateng left the Club and we wish them all well for the future.
"I never felt that we needed to make a lot of changes this summer because we already had a lot of quality within our squad," reasoned Harry.
"Sometimes I think that you can have too many players and it does nothing but give you problems. The squad is stronger, I think we have bought well and it is a well-balanced squad now in all parts of the field.
"We are looking to get some of our longer-term injured players back now like Michael Dawson, Gareth Bale, Jonathan Woodgate and Jermaine Jenas. They should all be coming back to fitness pretty soon and when they do return it will make the squad even stronger.
"We did make enquiries about one or two players and there were one or two deals that were put to us. In terms of the players we were interested in bringing to the Club, the ones that we followed up our interest in, we ended up signing. We didn't miss out on anybody.
"We went for Niko Kranjcar in the last couple of days of the window and we got him. It was always my intention to bring Niko in, regardless of the injury to Luka Modric. I know Niko from my time at Portsmouth. He is a great talent and a terrific lad. He was in the last year of his contract and I know there were other Premier League clubs trying to take him but I felt he was a terrific signing for us. He knows how to play and has got real good ability on the ball. He can play in several positions, he is a real top player in my opinion who is still young enough to improve further.
"We also brought in Jimmy Walker to give us a bit of insurance with the goalkeeping situation. Jimmy is a great pro who has been around for some time. I knew him and always admired him from his days at Walsall. I thought he was the best goalkeeper outside the Premier League in those days so I am delighted to have him here. He is a real good character and will act as cover for the two quality goalkeepers we are fortunate enough to already have here in Heurelho Gomes and Carlo Cudicini.
"The two lads from Sheffield United were the first ones in at the start of the window and I think both have got great futures ahead of them.
"Kyle Naughton has come here and is still learning the game but his chance will come. It is early days for him but he is a player who I can see one day going on to be an England international full-back. He is already in the Under-21 team and we feel there are great things ahead for him. I think right-back is his best position but he can do a job elsewhere and will never let you down. He is a player with a big future.
"We loaned his team-mate Kyle Walker back to Sheffield United to get experience, which he is doing and he will join us next year. I think he has tremendous pace and I believe he is going to be a top player. Our Chief Scout Ian Broomfield went to watch him last week and I hope to go and watch him in the next couple of weeks when our fixtures do not coincide with Sheffield United's.
"Peter Crouch has been great since he has arrived. It has not been easy for him. He has come in here and he didn't start the first few games but has come off the bench and shown a fantastic attitude. He hasn't sat about sulking, feeling sorry for himself, he has trained well, he's been good around the dressing room, he's been part of the team and they are the type of people you need. Crouchy has shown why he is such a popular lad and a good pro. He has worked hard. He came on against Birmingham, turned the game in my opinion, and was fantastic. His chance is going to come soon and when it does he is going to be a real threat to everybody.
"Sebastien Bassong came in when I lost Michael Dawson and Jonathan Woodgate and he has done a great job for us. It was important that we got somebody in and he has turned in five great performances, four in the league and one in the cup and I couldn't have asked for more. He always has a smile on his face - a good trainer, good player and a smashing lad."

ECHORR Challenge 2016 - 11/5 and 11/6/2016
Kutztown PA
The 2016 Challenge had a new venue, a new Team event format and a new SS Individual event format. This year, for many reasons, we decided to have the team racing under IROC format. Each team was asked to bring a set of IROC cars and these sets were matched to the Challenge tracks. We used the same 10 lap sprint format as in the past. This year since we did not have to do tech on the team cars, we decided to run 2 individual events, Nostalgia and Indy, after the team event on Saturday afternoon. On Sunday, we ran the ECHORR SS class in a Sweet 16 bracket format to decide the Individual Champion.
On Friday during the individual practice, I and a helper matched the various IROC cars to the 5 tracks in the hall. About 1pm we voted on the tracks for the individual events so that everyone would have ample time to practice and set up their individual cars on the proper tracks. Team numbers were drawn, team intros and pictures taken and final prep for the weekend's events.
Saturday started with a driver's meeting and a moment of silence for our friend and supporter, Rick S. "Resin Dude", who passed away this past year. General ground rules were discussed and it was off to the races.
First the team event: This format proved to be a huge success, we ran a variety of cars and setups, all without any practice with the cars. I can tell you that there was some hooting and hollering and laughing going on all day! Close, fun racing with no "super" cars dominating the field. This format proved to be a lot less expensive for the teams and a lot less stressful for all involved. The best part of the race from an organizational stand point was: NO TECH!!! This saved 3 to 4 hours on Saturday and no stress or fighting over rules.
The Team event was followed by an hour break for lunch which was catered by a local hotspot eatery know as Spuds…killer burgers, cheesy fries, perogies and all the fixings.
Next up was the Nostalgia and Indy individual races. The group was randomly divided into 2 groups and the 2-minute round robin races were run at the same time in two different tracks. Each group raced one track and class and then switched over to the other track to race the other class.
On Saturday evening the Team awards and the Nostalgia and Indy awards were given out and then it was off for some food and adult beverages.
Sunday the doors opened at 8 am after everyone got an extra hour sleep due to the time change. We had about 45 minutes of last minute practice, the driver's meeting and started the Feature Individual race of the weekend. We used a bracket style sweet 16 format and it was close racing and a dog fight to get to the final four.
All Results follow below.
I would like to thank Henry Harnish and Brian Vanbuskirk for getting the tracks to the Hall, Randy J Haydt for doing the leg work on the hall and insurance, setting up the catering and helping setup the event in general. Herman Farrer, Bryan Kisthardt and Brian Sponagle for helping in the track set up. Jody Williams, Sarah Feldner and Gary for their help in the raffle ticket sales. Joe Rinn, Randy Haydt and Derek S, for their help in race directing and a big thank you to Russ Upton who flew in from Arizona and ran the SS show on Sunday. If I forgot anybody my apologies…..
Next I would like to thank the sponsors of the event; these are the persons we need to support and buy from because they are more than generous to us:

Excellent piece by Trevin Wax at "The Gospel Coalition":
Debate moderators and reporters love to ask pro-life candidates hard questions about abortion. Curiously, they don't do the same for pro-choice candidates.
Here are 10 questions you never hear a pro-choice candidate asked by the media:
1. You say you support a woman's right to make her own reproductive choices in regards to abortion and contraception. Are there any restrictions you would approve of?
Because the media are the extremists on this issue, they see anyone who doesn't belief life begins at birth as freaky, Christian nut-jobs.
Polls show, though, that a majority of the country is pro-life, which makes the media look even more extreme.

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by madness, starving hysterical naked, dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix, angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night, who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of cold-water flats floating across the tops of cities contemplating jazz, who bared their brains to Heaven under the El and saw Mohammedan angels staggering on tenement roofs illuminated, who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy among the scholars of war, who were expelled from the academies for crazy & publishing obscene odes on the windows of the skull, who cowered in unshaven rooms in underwear, burning their money in wastebaskets and listening to the Terror through the wall, who got busted in their pubic beards returning through Laredo with a belt of marijuana for New York, who ate fire in paint hotels or drank turpentine in Paradise Alley, death, or purgatoried their torsos night after night, with dreams, and drugs, with waking nightmares, alcohol and cock and endless balls, incomparable blind streets of shuddering cloud and lightning in the mind leaping toward poles of Canada & Paterson, illuminating all the motionless world of Time in between Peyote solidities of halls, backyard green tree cemetery dawns, wine drunkenness over the rooftops, storefront boroughs of teahead joyride neon blinking traffic light, sun and moon and tree vibrations in the roaring winter dusks of Brooklyn, ashcan rantings and kind king light of mind, who chained themselves to subways for the endless ride from Battery to holy Bronx on benzedrine until the noise of wheels and children brought them down shuddering mouth-wracked and battered bleak of brain all drained of brilliance in the drear light of Zoo, who sank all night in the submarine light of Bickford's, floated out and sat through the stale beer afternooon in desolate Fugazzi's, listening to the crack of doom on the hydrogen jukebox, who talked continuously seventy hours from park to pad to bar to Bellevue to museum to the Brooklyn Bridge, a lost battalion of platonic conversationalists jumping down the stoops off fire escapes off windowsills off Empire State out of the moon, yacketayakking screaming vomiting whispering facts and memories and anecdotes and eyeball kicks and shocks of hospitals and jails and wars, whole intellects disgorged in total recall for seven days and nights with brilliant eyes, meat for the Synagogue cast on the pavement, who vanished into nowhere Zen New Jersey leaving a trail of ambiguous picture postcards of Atlantic City Hall, suffering Eastern sweats and Tangerian bone-grindings and migraines of China under junk-withdrawal in Newark's bleak furnished room, who wandered around and around at midnight in the railroad yard wondering where to go, and went, leaving no broken hearts, who lit cigarettes in boxcars boxcars boxcars racketing through snow toward lonesome farms in grandfather night, who studied Plotinus Poe St. John of the Cross telepathy and bop kaballa because the cosmos instinctively vibrated at their feet in Kansas, who loned it through the streets of Idaho seeking visionary indian angels who were visionary indian angels, who thought they were only mad when Baltimore gleamed in supernatural ecstasy, who jumped in limousines with the Chinaman of Oklahoma on the impulse of winter midnight streetlight smalltown rain, who lounged hungry and lonesome through Houston seeking jazz or sex or soup, and followed the brilliant Spaniard to converse about America and Eternity, a hopeless task, and so took ship to Africa, who disappeared into the volcanoes of Mexico leaving behind nothing but the shadow of dungarees and the lava and ash of poetry scattered in fireplace Chicago...
The dedication reads 'for Carl Solomon'. 'Howl' is not a poem that could ever be described as beautiful, or evocative, or inspiring, or mystical, or any of the myriad other adjectives that reviewers like myself are wont to use. Indeed, it doesn't seem to be very 'poetic' (in the traditional sense of the term) at all; it's unstructured to the point of incoherence, violent, bizarre, crude, sprawling, energetic ... all told, more of a delirious rant than a poem. Yet poem it is, and a brilliant one at that. In the sheer _scale_ of its undertaking it has very few peers [1], while the mode of expression is both stunningly original and perfectly suited to the underlying emotion / theme / state of mind. An incredibly wild ride... thomas. [1] Dylan's 'Desolation Row' springs to mind, as does T. S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland'. [Digression] 'Howl' in its entirety is a very long poem indeed, and I meant to run only a dozen or so versets... as it happened, each time I picked a good place to stop, I'd discover something new and magical a line or two downstream, and would feel compelled to extend my selection. I guess it just goes to show... [Minstrels Links] In previous posts I've mentioned Ginsberg's inheritance of Whitman's mantle; you can read more about the former at poem #244, and about the latter at poem #246. 'Desolation Row' can be read at poem #227 [Notes from the Net] Allen Ginsberg's monumental poem was first heard in a series of famous readings that signaled the arrival of the Beat Generation of writers. The first of these readings took place in October 1955, at the Six Gallery in San Francisco. It was Allen Ginsberg's first public performance, and it made him instantly famous at the age of twenty-nine. The poem is part Walt Whitman, part Old Testament hellfire ranting, and hundred-percent performance art. The lines in the famous first part of the poem tumble over each other in long unbroken breaths, all adding to a single endless sentence... Ginsberg is describing his fellow travelers, the crazy, lonely members of his community of misunderstood poet artists, unpublished novelists, psychotics, radicals, pranksters, sexual deviants and junkies. At the time that he wrote this he'd seen several of his promising young friends broken or killed... [various lines in the poem] describe real-life events by people Ginsberg knew, but the poem is especially dedicated to Carl Solomon, Ginsberg's crazy-insane hyper-intellectual friend who he'd met in a mental hospital years before: -- [broken link] http://www.charm.net./~brooklyn/Poems/Howl.html To accusations that "Howl" is a negative and destructive poem, Ginsberg responded by saying: "The title notwithstanding, the poem itself is an act of sympathy, not rejection. In it I am leaping out of a preconceived notion of social 'values', following my own heart's instincts - allowing myself to follow my own heart's instincts, overturning any notion of propriety, moral 'value', superficial 'maturity', Trilling-esque sense of 'civilization', and exposing my true feelings - of sympathy and identification with the rejected, mystical, individual, even 'mad'. "Howl is the first discovery as far as communication of feeling and truth, that I made. It begins with a catalogue sympathetically and humanely describing excesses of feeling and idealization." "Only if you are thinking an outmoded dualistic puritanical academic theory ridden world of values can you fail to see I am talking about realization of love. LOVE." "To call it work of nihilistic rebellion would be to mistake it completely. Its force comes from positive religious belief and experience. It offers no 'constructive' program in sociological terms - no poem could. It does offer a constructive human value - basically the experience - of the enlightment of mystical experience - without which no society can long exist." -- [broken link] http://www.cwrl.utexas.edu/~slatin/20c_poetry/projects/gh/eberhart.html [Afterthought] This, by the way, is one poem that I'd _strongly_ advise you to read out loud.

Sprint and Sierra Wireless have announced that May 18th is the date when the first device in the US will merge 4G connections over LTE and WiMAX networks, thanks to the Sierra Wireless 4G LTE Tri-Fi Hotspot for the Sprint network. The Sierra Wireless Tri-Fi Hotspot is said to offer the optimal combination of speed and coverage to Sprint customers, letting families, small businesses and traveling co-workers to share high-speed connections in a jiffy. Just how much will subscribers need to fork out for this device? We are looking at a $99.99 price tag prior to taxes for the Sierra Wireless Tri-Fi Hotspot, and this is also after a $50 mail-in-rebate and agreeing to a two-year service contract.
You will be able to pick up the device itself and sign up for 3G/4G plans at select Sprint retail stores, or opt for the online route if you prefer to avoid human contact, or call 1-800-SPRINT over the phone. There are also Sprint data plans for this particular device that start from $34.99 onwards for 3GB to deliver a combination of 3G/4G data, while doubling that amount would cost $10 more, and $79.99 will net you 12GB of 3G/4G data.

Online Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS)
With a Master of Library and Information Science (MLIS) degree, you can work at the forefront of the dynamic field of librarianship. School librarians help teachers and students navigate the evolving world of information and technology, and they help students develop the lifelong skill of research.
Thanks to rapid advances in technology and systems, librarianship today is radically different from librarianship 10 years ago. An MLIS program prepares you for this changing environment of technology, including online education and resources. Some responsibilities of a librarian in a school setting include service to faculty and students, reference, circulation, technical services, serials management, manuscripts, music, digital files, media services, teaching, management, and more.
A master's degree from an accredited institution is essential to becoming a practicing school librarian. This, along with state certification, will allow you to become a librarian at any grade level.
MLIS Programs
Each MLIS program has its own set of prerequisites, so you should contact your accredited institution for detailed information regarding its policies.
- Application: Fill out an initial application, which you can find on the website of the accredited institution of your choice. Paper and online forms are both generally accepted.
- Bachelor's degree: You should have a bachelor's degree or the equivalent from an accredited institution prior to applying to an MLIS program.
- Transcripts: Request transcripts in advance of the application deadline, and upload one official copy of each transcript from any postsecondary schools you have attended.
- Personal statement: Write a personal statement, which is typically in the form of an essay. You may be required to submit multiple essays to fully express the intent and purpose of your application. Below are some common topics that should be mentioned in a statement.
- Your main academic and personal interests
- Experiences in school or work that have helped to prepare you for this course of study
- Why you wish to study for the degree you've chosen
- Why you wish to study at the university
- Your plans for the future after you earn your degree
Ranked #1 in information systems and #4 for library and information studies among Library and Information Studies Schools by U.S. News and World Report, Syracuse University iSchool offers the opportunity to combine a Library and Information science degree with certificate programs in data science, school media, or cultural heritage preservation.
Sponsored Program
The curriculum and number of credits required to complete a master's program vary widely depending on your school and specialization. However, a typical MLIS program includes courses in:
- Information organization
- Library and information studies
- Research methods
- User center information services
- Information technology
After completing an MLIS program, the next step is to get licensed. This certification will enable you to officially work in the field of your choice. Every state has its own licensure requirements to become a school librarian. The median annual salary for a librarian was $56,880 in 2015. School librarians with an MLIS degree can work at the elementary through high school level.
In addition to these common school librarian roles, there are also specializations and different roles that a graduate with an MLIS can pursue, including:
- Academic librarianship
- Archival or special collections librarianship
- Cataloging or metadata
- Digital librarianship
- Digital preservation
- Information technology and information science
- Library management
- Museum studies
- Public librarianship
- Reference librarianship
- Special librarianship
- Youth services
- Children's librarianship
- Teen librarianship

Creatures of the night exist,
if not in the streets then in our minds,
to hold us prisoners of the black, indeed--
to shred our souls, to make us dust.
There is no safe reside.
Daylight beings perceive no threats
though dark shadows dance
in back of their eyes.
An evil collected binds them all,
the same dance, the same shadow,
hiding in every one.
They work not to know, to see...
but in their dreams they can feel a terror,
more frightening than death itself can be.
