GREENCASTLE — In itself, the sport of track and field has a uniqueness that few other forms of competition share.
It starts with a mass quantity of participants specializing in various events, with standout competitors being rewarded on an individual level come postseason time.
Thus, the key to overall team success relies upon finding a collection of individual talent spread across multiple disciplines, each capable of shouldering their share of the workload.
A season ago, Greencastle-Antrim benefitted from such balance, with the boys' completing an undefeated dual-meet schedule (7-0) en route to the Mid-Penn Colonial Division title while the girls' finished runner-up (6-1) to league champion Gettysburg.
Still, despite the return of several key contributors poised to personally take the next step, G-A's focus remains on winning as a team first this spring, before turning its attention to individual accomplishments later in the year.
"The goal is for everyone to be successful," head coach Devin McCauley said. "In order to be good individually, you also have to be a team player. We want our kids to reach their potential through dedication to both themselves and the team. Winning division championships will then follow."
Similar to last season, both squads are relatively young, with a total of just 12 seniors being joined by a wealth of underclassmen.
Although small in numbers, the soon-to-be graduates headline the long list of returning talent, starting with the duo of Nakita Gearhart and Ashton Rockwell — the only seniors on the girls' roster.
Gearhart has been a versatile staple for the Blue Devils throughout her career, competing in the high jump, discus and javelin, qualifying for the District 3 Championships in at least one event each of the last three years.
Rockwell also returns with a trip to states in mind, entering the season as a three-time district qualifier in the 100-meter hurdles.
"They are exactly what you want as leaders for your team," McCauley said of Gearhart and Rockwell. "They both have great work ethic and a drive to get better. We're hoping they can get over the hump and make it to states as seniors."
Sophomore Shelby Stouffer acts as G-A's third girl who's coming off a district appearance in 2012, when she made the field for the 1,600-meter run as a freshman.
The likes of Caroline Schemel, Lauren Powers, Nikki Garns, Madison Hurley and Caitlyn Hetrick are all also conditioned distance runners, an area in which the Blue Devils are expecting to thrive.
The additions of Jane Herman and Jordan Pizzarro will boost G-A's depth on the track while Erica Helm returns as a signature competitor in the triple jump, long jump and hurdles.
"I feel like we have a very solid girls' team," McCauley said. "We lost a couple pieces from last year, but we've also added a few girls that are going to make immediate impacts. We're definitely excited to see how it all comes together."
On the boys' side, G-A welcomes back a pair of district qualifiers from a season ago in David Spinder and Taylor Kirkpatrick, both of whom are looking to cap their careers on a high note.
Spinder, who shined in the shot put, will lead a well-rounded cast of throwers, including Luke Bitner and Bobby Rider.
While continuing to focus on the high jump, Kirkpatrick is also projected to compete in multiple events as a sprinter, joining Devin Statler, Eli Bock and Austin Scott as speedsters to watch this spring.
The return of Scott, who missed his junior year after tearing his ACL in football season, adds one of the area's premiere athletes to an already solid lineup, giving the Blue Devils yet another proven threat. As a sophomore, Scott was a member of G-A's state-qualifying 4x100 relay team, providing the accomplished quarterback-turned-track-star with a taste of postseason success two years ago.
Now 100 percent healthy, Scott could be showcased in as many as five events per meet, with an honest shot at qualifying for districts in each.
McCauley also has high expectations for distance runner Daulton Monn, who qualified for states during cross country season this fall.
"Our boys' have a lot of talent," McCauley said. "There's several guys that have a chance to make districts in multiple events. We also have plenty of promising underclassmen that came out this year. How quickly those younger kids contribute will be key to our success as a team."
G-A opens the season on Saturday at the Tim Cook Invitational held at Chambersburg High School. Aside from their Colonial schedule, the Blue Devils will also be participating in two additional invitationals later this season, made possible in part by sponsorship funds provided by Antrim Insurance and the Frederick family.

A few years ago, quite unexpectedly for a Protestant of completely lackluster, OK zero, participation in any religious activities, I found myself inexplicably Catholo-curious. Something about the ritual of Mass was mysterious and magnetic, and then comforting. The space in Catholic sanctuaries is like none other, simultaneously personal and quiet while offering ornate public tributes to a higher power. Dont even get me started on St. Patricks Cathedral in Manhattan or, for heavens sake, the Basilica at Notre Dame.
My curiosity, which ran deeper than buildings and rites, brought me dangerously close to pursuing bona fide Catholic credentials, but I could never get past the politics. As much solace I found in the space that attending Mass and imagining participating in the church community, the disconnect that exists between the dogma dictated from the Vatican and the lives most Catholics live was too vast for me to reconcile. So I remain unaffiliated, but still marvel at the glacial pace of church doctrines evolution, wishing semi-secretly for a centuries-overdue acceleration of its position on things like contraception, and how women are treated both in the church and, more importantly, in the world.
It isnt coming any time soon, of course, but there are some signs of ever-so-infinitesimal movement with the selection Pope Francis.
First, there is the mere fact of a conclave not predicated on a papal death. Pope Benedict XVIs retirement was revolutionary in and of itself, the likes of which has not occurred in 600 years. Then, there is the Vaticans first look beyond the First World in more than 1,200 years, appointing a pope from Argentina. Never mind that Jorge Mario Bergoglio, 76, was born in Buenos Aires to Italian parents and, therefore, is still fundamentally an old white guy. His selection is a big deal for a church that has in recent years paid less attention than Pope Francis would like to the worlds poorest inhabitants and changing the conditions that keep them in such poverty.
Choosing a pope who is widely known for his commitment to and connection with those struggling the most, whether in poverty or in illness or in circumstances of oppression, was a big step for the Catholics. That is the best of what the church does, and Bergoglios long history of simple living goes far beyond issuing doctrine. He seems to live what he believes.
Perhaps, in a few more millennia, Pope Francis priorities will have evolved church doctrine such that it recognizes that poverty is compounded by limited access to contraception, and that women who lack the skills, education or power to change their circumstances will be stuck in a poverty cycle that continues for generations. There are tiny glimmers of hope here and there the church, after all has softened its position on condom use such that married couples can use them to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS if one spouse carries the virus but a wholesale leap into the present tense is not likely to be forthcoming. Francis and the churchs work to help those with AIDS would be far more effective if there was a prevention component based on widespread condom use.
Those connections can and must come, but for now still exist in the shadows, populated by the Catholic heroes who do not let a little disconnect bring them down.
The nuns in trouble with the church for spending more time on social justice work than on carrying the Vaticans stale anti-birth control water or those priests and monks and nuns who heed liberation theologys call to right social injustice care more about how they demonstrate their Catholic beliefs than how the Vatican interprets what those beliefs ought to be. That is the deepest of faith.
Then there are the millions of Catholics who nod obediently at the archaic proclamations and positions held by their churchs leaders and then carry on in their own ways, using birth control, loving people of the same sex, or any number of Vatican no-nos, taking the good with the bad. That is admirable faith.
For a neophyte maybe-sometimes-wannabe Catholic like me, that is too big a leap and so I will for now, remain a voyeur, taking in the moments of beauty and solace found in visiting a church and attending Mass and seeing the selfless work so many Catholics do on others behalf.

UV rays are just as dangerous on the slopes as they are on the beach. For every 1,000 feet above sea level you ascend, UV radiation exposure increases about 5 percent--that's a nearly 15 percent increase atop Killington, plus snow reflects up to 80 percent of UV light, meaning you often get zapped twice by the same rays.

Skinless Chicken Thighs with Shallots in Red Wine Vinegar (Poulet Au Vinaigre)
This popular French chicken dish, made with vinegar, shallots, and white wine is quick and easy to make. Red wine vinegar gives it an intense, tangy flavor, that mellows as it simmers. Shallots are similar to onions, and are always a staple in my house along with onions and garlic. They can transform any ordinary dish and make it extraordinary. The ease of this dish makes it perfect for a busy weeknight dinner.
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I had a wonderful Christmas surrounded by family. Most of my gifts were cooking related. My husband surprised me with new Rachel Ray cookware, I got some fun kitchen gadgets and lots of cookbooks. I'm so excited to try some of the recipes from my new books and give them a makeover to share with all of you!
This recipe was adapted from Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking by Paula Wolfert. I used skinless boneless chicken thighs, to keep it lean and replaced the créme fraîche with low fat sour cream.
Skinless Chicken Thighs with Shallots in Red Wine Vinegar (Poulet Au Vinaigre)
- 32 oz (8 lean chicken thighs, boneless, skinless)
- salt and fresh pepper
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar

- 1 tsp butter
- 1 large shallot, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 2 tbsp light sour cream
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- Season chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a medium saucepan, combine vinegar, honey, 3/4 cup chicken broth and tomato paste.
- Boil about 5 minutes, until it reduces down to about 3/4 cup.
- Remove from heat.
- In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat and add chicken.
- Cook on both sides, until brown, about 6-8 minutes.
- Remove chicken and set aside.
- Add the shallots and garlic to the skillet and cook on low until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken, add the wine, remaining broth salt and pepper.
- Cover and simmer about 20 minutes until tender.
- Remove the chicken, add sour cream and stir into the sauce (if sauce dries up, add more broth).
- Boil a few minutes then return chicken to skillet.
- Top with fresh parsley.

You might be surprised how many injuries have hit the Browns this year, even though they have weathered the storm. Here's the list, including the latest casualty.
The Browns emerged from the bye week another man down but in relatively good shape regarding injuries.
Coaches took a chance by bringing special teams captain Quentin Groves back from an ankle injury for the recent Baltimore game.
He re-injured the ankle and on Monday was declared out for the year.
"Quentin's a valuable part of our team and of the leadership on our team," head coach Rob Chudzinski said. "Obviously, we're disappointed."
While the Browns restart their engines with a manageable injury profile, they have had their share of issues. Bryant joins this list of key players who have lost time to injuries:
• Running back Dion Lewis went on injured reserve Sept. 27 after emerging as a promising change-of-pace back.
• Running back Montario Hardesty fell victim to multiple preseason injuries and eventually was waived.
• Quarterback Brian Hoyer started three games, all wins, but he played in just two series of the third one before blowing out a knee. He went on i.r. Oct. 13.
• Quarterback Brandon Weeden hurt his right thumb in the first Baltimore game, opening a door for Hoyer.
• Defensive end Ahtyba Rubin missed the first two games with a calf injury but has started the seven games since.
• Defensive end Billy Winn has missed five games with a quad injury. He returned for the recent Baltimore game, but was in for just one regular snap, as a fullback, and three special teams plays.
• Wide receiver Travis Benjamin. Before blowing out a knee in Game 8 at Kansas City, he scored on a 79-yard punt return, brought back a kickoff 86 yards, made a 45-yard run and caught a pass for 39 yards.
• Defensive end Jabaal Sheard has been back for the last three games after missing three games with a knee injury.
• Right guard Shawn Lauvao missed the first four games with an ankle injury but has started the last five games.
• Guard Jason Pinkston. He has been activated from the injured reserve/designated for return list after sitting out the first nine games.
• Outside linebacker Barkevious Mingo missed the opener with a bruised rib but has played in the subsequent eight games.
Usual starters who have played all nine games coming out of the bye include:
• Offense (7): Left tackle Joe Thomas, left guard John Greco, center Alex Smith, right tackle Mitchell Schwartz, tight ends Jordan Cameron and Gary Barnidge, and wideout Greg Little.
• Defense (9): Nose tackle Phil Taylor, defensive end Desmond Bryant, inside linebackers D'Qwell Jackson and Craig Robertson, outside linebacker Paul Kruger, cornerbacks Buster Skrine and Joe Haden, and safeties Tashaun Gipson and T.J. Ward.
If the Browns don't win the AFC North, they have a playoff Plan B.
They are in a crazy chase for the second of two wild-card spots available in the AFC.
Favorable outcomes in Sunday games enhanced wild-card chances. In upcoming games, some of the wild-card contenders will be knocking each other off.
Teams are heading into a mad dash for prime position during the next month. Here is a look at the next month's schedule for the main contenders for the second wild-card spot:
Jets (5-4): At Buffalo, at Baltimore, vs. Miami, vs. Oakland.
Dolphins (4-4): Played at Tampa Bay Monday night; vs. San Diego, vs. Carolina, at New York Jets, at Pittsburgh.
Browns (4-5): At Cincinnati, vs. Pittsburgh, vs. Jacksonville, at New England.
Ravens (4-5): At Chicago, vs. New York Jets, vs. Pittsburgh, vs. Minnesota.
Titans (4-5): Vs. Indianapolis, at Oakland, at Indianapolis, at Denver.
Chargers (4-5): At Miami, at Kansas City, vs. Cincinnati, vs. New York Giants.
• After placing Quentin Groves on injured reserve, the Browns promoted rookie linebacker Brandon Magee to the active roster from the practice squad.
Magee is a small (5-11, 225) linebacker who spent training camp with Dallas. He played football and baseball at Arizona State and has been drafted three times by Major League baseball teams.
• The Bengals lead the AFC North with a 6-4 record. After they play host to the Browns Sunday, they will enter their bye week, after which they will play at San Diego, face Indianapolis at home, then play at Pittsburgh.
• Browns placekicker Billy Cundiff is 13 of 15 on field goal tries after making his last nine in a row.
Cundiff kicked for the Ravens in 2010 and 2011. Justin Tucker, who has been Baltimore's kicker the last two years, did the Browns a favor with an overtime field goal that beat Cincinnati Sunday. He is 18 of 20 on the year.
• Joe Thomas has played 6,444 consecutive snaps at left tackle. If he maintains the streak through the season, he should reach 7,000, putting No. 73 on pace to reach 7,300 snaps in 2014.

Next Meetup
What we're about
Come out and knit, crochet (and frog)!
This group is for people who would like to meet up with other knitters and crocheters in/near Burnaby (and we have recently decided to try out Port Moody as well). We will get together to work on projects, compare patterns, share techniques and trade tips. And of course, get to know each other & gab!
We meet on Thursday evenings at a local coffee shop (weekly in Burnaby and biweekly in Port Moody). From time to time, we schedule field trips to special events or a LYS (Local Yarn Shop).
All experience levels welcome, including beginners! If you are interested in learning, please read this discussion thread:
http://www.meetup.com/froggers/messages/boards/thread/9721529 .
~~ What is Frogging???? ~~
"Frogging" is the term used to describe the act of UNknitting or UNcrocheting your project (or portion of your project). The term was created because you may say "Rip It, Rip It" (ribbit, ribbit) as you undo your work!
Thanks for joining!
PS: Regarding membership payment: If you haven't yet attended a meeting, and would like to come and check out our group before deciding whether you wish to become a paying member, please come out and meet us. If you like us enough to come again, we will ask for payment at that time. For more information, please read this discussion thread:

Capital Press
RED BLUFF, Calif. — A conservative California congressman says he has made a "pivot" with regard to immigration reform and now believes it should be done soon.
Rep. Doug LaMalfa, a rice farmer and member of the House of Representatives' agriculture committee, adds he believes there may finally be enough political will in Congress to pass a series of targeted reforms.
LaMalfa said he has been swayed by conversations with farmers – particularly in the nursery industry – who have suffered through labor shortages in recent years.
"Certainly we've had some very spirited conversations about how tough it is on them," the freshman congressman said while appearing at a recent cattlemen's dinner here. "It's been those conversations that have made me kind of pivot and say we've got to get something done."
LaMalfa noted that while there's been "a lot of noise about" immigration reform, polls still show it low on a list of priorities for American voters. However, he believes there's a pressing need to control the borders while also providing a stable source of workers for farms.
The lawmaker's comments add to a sense that there's growing momentum for immigration reform, which will be one of President Barack Obama's priorities in the coming weeks. A comprehensive bill passed the Senate last year but was rejected in the House, as conservative Republicans resisted an approach they considered amnesty for illegal immigrants.
The House is expected to pursue a piecemeal approach that the chamber's Democrats hope will adequately address workforce and human-rights issues affected by long-term congressional inaction on the issue.
Farm groups including the California Farm Bureau Federation and California Strawberry Commission have been loud advocates for reforms. Strawberry growers took part in a rally with Obama in November, arguing a lack of reforms put their farms and surrounding communities at risk.
On other issues, LaMalfa:
• Said he strongly disagreed with a California Supreme Court ruling allowing an illegal immigrant to practice law in the state. An immigrant from Mexico, Sergio Garcia has been living in the country for nearly two decades, according to CNN.
• Said he hopes the current drought in California will "wake up" city dwellers to the needs of farmers. He said he would be in favor of a water bond that focuses on storage "rather than everything else."

ADRIAN — Look at any list of Top 10 Christmas-movie classics, and it's fairly certain that somewhere on the list will be the Academy Award-winning 1947 film "Miracle on 34th Street." It's one of those old chestnuts whose storyline has often been copied in film and TV remakes, and yet arguably its quality has never truly been duplicated.
It certainly wasn't duplicated in the 1963 stage-musical version written by Meredith Willson, either.
Willson's musical is onstage this weekend and next at the Croswell Opera House, with an extremely talented cast of performers who on the whole do a terrific job with the material.
The thing of it is, Willson's playwriting efforts with this show, honestly, leave a lot to be desired. It's kind of hard to believe that the same person who wrote "The Music Man" and "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" wrote this work too, because it's inferior to both of those musical-theater classics. The Toronto Civic Light Opera Co. revised it twice to fix many of the problems, leaving one to wonder what it was like before.
But at the Croswell, the production is improved upon by being staged by a very impressive group of actors. You almost couldn't ask for a better Santa than Mark Hyre, or a better Doris than Alison Seibold, or a better Fred than Karl Kasischke, because they're all just terrific. And 9-year-old Arielle Osstifin, who plays Susan, is a real find, bringing a stage presence and a polished performance to the role that is beyond her years.
At the same time, people like Rob Kuschell, who plays the frenetic assistant Shellhammer, and Terry Hissong as Macy, are in parts that seem tailor-made for their acting talents. And a special shout-out has to go to the many children onstage for the fact that — the occasional standing there with feet crossed or looking around at the audience aside — they are engaged in the action, determined to do a good job, and very enthusiastic about their parts. Six-year-old Maggie Mae Page in particular is just delightful to watch.
Willson originally set his version in the 1960s and even rather inexplicably gave the show a completely different title than "Miracle on 34th Street." Happily, the version Croswell audiences will see goes back to the film's 1940s time frame.
The script follows the movie's plot pretty much exactly, a few additions and subtractions aside, all the way down to having some lines that are straight out of the film. But in the course of creating a musical rendition of the story, Willson wrote some numbers that are cute and catchy but which are also generally forgettable. There's a reason why none of this music ever became popular as stand-alone songs, except for "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas," which incidentally you'd never pick out just by looking at the program because it's hidden inside another tune.
And rather than packaging everything into a nice, tight format, the end result is some two hours and 45 minutes long, with a first act that lasts an hour and 15 minutes (and although the intermission seems to come at an odd place in terms of the action, really, it's about time).
Largely, this is because some of Willson's scenes just go on way too long. For example, while re-creating the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade is a cute idea, and of course somewhat necessary to the storyline, there's a point where it begins to seem like the scene will last as long as the real thing. But there are also a few scenes that are completely gratuitous. They just add to the show's length without really doing anything to add to the story.
And it has to be said that while the Croswell stage crew did yeoman's work on opening night with all the scene changes, and that the familiar tactic of having action taking place in front of the curtain while the changes are occurring behind it does help, the show nevertheless has something of a disjointed feel to it, with the action often coming to a complete standstill in between scenes.
But the production does accomplish the goal of giving people a big, splashy, old-fashioned musical, with lots of community faces of all ages onstage, and even helping spread the original film's Christmas cheer and its message of the childlike innocence of believing in things you can't see.
Plus, given the quality of the cast, some stellar music direction by Wynne Marsh and nice choreography by Kristi Davis — who accomplishes an especially Herculean task given the number of children she's working with — and an onstage look that works well courtesy of scenic designer Ryan Tymensky and Michael Lackey, who doubled as scenic painter, and costume designer Pam Krage, there really is a fair amount to recommend this show.
And it's a great show for families to experience together. Just be mindful of its length when bringing your kids. Also note that the production has earlier curtain times than has been usual for the Croswell, with evening shows at 7:30 p.m. and matinees at 2:30 p.m.
The show has a matinee performance today; an evening show Friday, Dec. 7, two performances Saturday, Dec. 8, and a matinee Sunday, Dec. 9.

Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Redmile
Rainwater harvesting is the process of collecting, filtering and storing of rainwater for domestic, commercial or industrial use in Redmile. It is an important water conservation method, which makes use of rainwater that would otherwise flow through gutters into sewers and drains in Redmile.
Benefits of Rainwater Harvesting Systems in Redmile
In a typical Redmile home, water used for flushing toilets, watering gardens, washing cars and laundry accounts for up to 54% of usage and can be harvested from rain. This provides huge savings in terms of water bills, while conserving precious water resources.
Rainwater harvesting has several benefits including:
•Conserves groundwater
•Reduces flooding and soil erosion
•It is free and saves water bills
•Provides sufficient water for irrigation and other large scale requirements
•Contains no chemicals
Premier Tanks is a leading supplier of rainwater harvesting systems in Redmile to suit all types of requirements. They are made from high quality 100% virgin resin and glass, and do not contain chalk fillers which weaken the structure.
What makes Premier Tanks perfect for my needs in Redmile?
•Tough, durable and long lasting
•Have a heavy duty shell for protection in all ground conditions
•Rust and corrosion free for clean water
•Resistant to temperature fluctuations, impact and shock
•Fitted with pressure sensitive, dry run protected pumps for constant pressure
•Automatic shut-off when no water is detected or required
•Require little maintenance or repairs, saving you money
•Integral lifting eyes for ease of installation
•Keying-in lip to anchor tank into concrete or pea-shingle
•Optional Elite indicator to display tank water level
•Self-cleaning and easily accessible filter
Rainwater harvesting systems specifications
Premier Tanks supplies rainwater harvesting systems in two configurations
•MR 1Rain Cell for outdoor use only with tank sizes between 1,100L to 12000L

These distortions of scale within an image can be removed through orthorectification. During orthorectification, digital scans of aerial photos are subjected to algorithms that eliminate each source of spatial distortion. The result is a georeferenced digital mosaic of several photographs with uniform scale throughout the mosaic. Features near land are generally georeferenced with greater accuracy while the accuracy of features away from land is generally not as good. Where no land is in the original photographic frame only kinematic GPS locations and image tie points were used to georeference the images. After an orthorectified mosaic is created, photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer.

Prints and diapositives were created from the original negatives. Diapositivies were then scanned at a resolution of 500 dpi using a photogrammetric quality scanner, yielding one by one meter pixels for the 1:24,000 scale photography. All scans were saved in TIFF format for the purposes of orthorectification and photointerpretation.
Georeferencing/mosaicing of the TIFFs was performed using a variety of softcopy photogrammetric software including Socet Set Version 4.2.1, Autometric Softplotter, PCI OrthoEngine, and Erdas OrthoBASE. First, lens correction parameters were applied to each frame to eliminate image distortion. Airborne kinematic GPS was then used, to provide first order georegistration.
Image to image tie-points were then used to further co-register the imagery, especially for photos taken over open water when ground control points were not available. Fixed ground features visible in the scanned photos were selected for ground control points (GCPs) which were then used to georeference imagery. GCPs were measured using a Differentially-corrected Global Positioning System (DGPS). We obtained points with a wide distribution throughout the imagery, especially on peninsulas and outer islands whenever possible since this results in the most accurate registration throughout each image. Only ground control points for terrestrial features were collected due to the difficulty of obtaining precise positions for submerged features.
Pre-existing USGS 10-meter digital elevation models were used to correct for relief displacement
Person who carried out this activity:
301-220-2591 (voice)
Average spatial accuracy of individual photomosaics is reported in Chapter 3 of Benthic Habitats of the Main Hawaiian Islands. Positional accuracy was determined by solution of Softplotter generated model (RMS less than 1) and by comparison to independent ground control data. The georegistration of these photographs is at least 95% sigma RMS of 5 meters.
No color balancing was attempted since this alters color and textural signatures in the original imagery and interferes with the photointerpreter's ability to delineate habitats. As a result mosaics have visible seams between adjacent photos. This provides the photointerpreter with "true color" imagery for maximum ability to identify and delineate benthic features.
Once all of the photographs were orthorectified, the best segments of each photograph were selected for creation of the final mosaic. Segments of each photograph were selected to minimize sun glint, cloud interference, and turbidity in the final mosaic. Where possible, parts of images obscured by sun glint or clouds were replaced with cloud/glint free parts of overlapping images. As a result, most mosaics have few or no clouds or sun glint obscuring bottom features.

I have found it useful if you show up in relatively decent shape and most important, don't compare yourself to others in the clinic. If you feel intimidated or bored, the learning process shuts down. I do an excellent job of matching each player with drills and competition suited for the appropriate levels of play.
There will be young players in attendance as well as adults. I will group you by age and skill level an hour into the clinic -- I do it for safety reasons and to make you feel more comfortable. The coaching staff will be watching each individual execute the skills during "Survivor"... this is where we enforce the teaching cycle.
Please remember it is not important who you play against or who you play with, all that matters is how you are performing each skill during "Survivor."
You will want to bring: an extra T-shirt, kneepads, water and other personal items you may need.
If you are under 18 years old and received a ride to the clinic, please inform the staff when your parents plan to pick you up. Until a responsible party arrives, we would ask that you remain inside the facility. Thank-you for your cooperation in this matter.
Parents are more than welcome to spend all day with us. The best time to watch is the last hour of each day as that is when we will be playing Survivor.

I'm sure most of you know the story by now (or at least, you probably should), but for the sake of consistency; I'll not skip over the plot synopsis. One day, seemingly a seemingly innocent, average, and undignified man is kidnapped and imprisoned in a small room resembling a cheap hotel room. He is not given reason for his imprisonment, and is simply left to his own devices, with nothing but a journal, a disturbing painting, and a television set to keep him company. Through this television he's informed that his wife has been murdered, his daughter has gone missing, and that he is the prime suspect.
Edko R3
Tartan R1
Starmax R3 (Final Edition)
Starmax R3 (Special Edition)
After fifteen years of being knocked unconscious with gas for grooming, eating the same pan-fried pot stickers, logging his thoughts, and beating his fists bloody against the wall, the prisoner is mysteriously set free. He is informed via a third party stranger that he has five days to figure out why he was held hostage, if he doesn't, he will be killed.
Oldboy may very well have been the best, and the most important film of the twenty-first century, had it not been for those pesky New Zealanders and their damned Hobbits. A poignant mix of visceral reactions and subtle introversions, the film speaks volumes for modern cinema's post-modern sensibilities, modern societies apathy, film's progression as an art form and an entertainment source, and perhaps most importantly, South Korea's relevance in the realm of influential art. The film works on so many levels, it can be simply overwhelming to even the most studious viewer.
Unlike Tarentino's Kill Bill films, which took the classic exploitation theme of bloody vengeance and created a funhouse homage to the classic genres of the underground scene, writer/director Park Chan-wook has stripped the theme of its cinematic carnal pleasures. Like the film's thematic predecessor, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, which showed two sides of revenge and allowed events to play out in a most tragically objective manner, Oldboy turns classic clichés of modern cinema on their heads. While bloody revenge may be what the audiences initial, visceral gut reaction it craves, the truth and realism behind the action rears its head.
Visually, it's as if Park as taken all the lessons of modern cinematography and editing, including the ever-hated music video and video game methods, and distilled them into a eloquent yet seedy whole. There is a dreadful calm to the entire film, the anticipation of violence always bubbling to the surface, but never spilling over, at least not until the frenetic final revelation. The framing, camera motion, and set and costume design all exude an undeniable visual poetry in the face of some of the ugliest events in mainstream film. The duality of the image is fascinating.
The acting is great all around, but it is Choi Min-sik as the lead victim Oh Dae-su, and Yu Ji-tae as the sadistic Lee Woo-jin, that steal the show, as it should be, because they are the Yin and Yang of the plot. Choi's physical transformation in the hands of his torment is a site to be absorbed by every aspiring actor alive. The character has to undergo three distinctive emotional changes, and each step is achingly believable. Yu, who is basically playing an emotionally scarred and slightly more sociopathic version of Lex Luthor, is charmingly slimy, maintaining his collected calm, only breaking twice in his adult state. His performance is in the end, perhaps even more important than that of Choi, as he's given the impossible job of making the audience pity a monster, which is the thing that separates Park's films from other revenge dramas.
Edko R3
Tartan R1
Starmax R3 (Final Edition)
Starmax R3 (Special Edition)
Oldboy is the most challenging non-indie film to see major release since the gloriously hilarious, Nietzschean adventures of Tyler Durden in David Fincher's Fight Club. It begs repeat viewings, requires an open mind, and demands acceptance at all costs. It has become the quintessential modern South Korean film for good reason, it is nearly without flaw. Oldboy is so good that my writing skills can't express it. My feeble skills aren't any match for its layered grandeur, and I simply hope all cineaste's simply take my word for it, and soak it in as soon as possible.
Editor's Note: I have included screen captures from the Korean Starmax 'Final Edition' and original special edition to further enhance the comparison.
Before I continue, I want to make it perfectly clear to the site's regular readers that when it comes to technical knowledge, I am no Chris Gould. This comparison is going to be the best I can manage with what I have. I do also apologize that none of my screen caps here really capture the semi-subtle differences between the two transfers. I tried to pick scenes that were more or less obvious on the big screen, but it seems that it was somewhat in vain.
The region three Hong Kong disc of Oldboy suffers. It's not a bad transfer, but considering the film's recent vintage, and the care the filmmakers put into its production, it really should've looked better. The first offences appear very quickly, during the black on white opening credits. Eagle eyed viewers will notice two things, one, that the black isn't exactly the deepest it could be, and two, there is some heavy digital blocking due to low level noise. This low level noise is present in almost every deeply dark sequence throughout the film.
The second offence appears immediately after, as the sun bleached South Korean skyline flashes into view, edge enhancement rips across every, um, edge. Though not so much a problem during indoor or night sequences, this rascally imperfection can be seen throughout most every daylight scene.
These are the transfer's two biggest problems, and they are quite noticeable at times. Film grain is scarce, and detail levels are sharp, though obviously too sharp at times. The colour is slightly too cool, and loses some of the richness of the image. The omnipresent purples suffer the greatest, but had I not seen another transfer (complete with a cinematographer's commentary), I probably wouldn't have known any better.
Edko R3
Tartan R1
Starmax R3 (Final Edition)
Starmax R3 (Special Edition)
The Tartan region one transfer is a marked improvement, but still suffers the same inadequacies, however in a much slighter intensity. The opening credits still have the same digital blocking due to the same low-level noise, but darkness throughout the rest of the film fares better than the Hong Kong disc. For the most part it is unnoticeable except during sequences of almost total darkness.
The biggest improvement, beyond the lack of compression artefacts, is the image colour balance. Everything appears warmer, and is more true to Park's original vision. During the commentary a lot of time is spent discussing colour choices, and the film was meant to be artificially green and violet. Beyond these artificial colour choices, the Tartan disc also presents warmer skin tones, which in this case isn't as important, but most welcome regardless.
It should be noted that the Hong Kong release utilizes an interlaced transfer, while Tartan's disc utilizes the superior progressive format. This doesn't create that much of a discourse so far as ghosting goes, but most likely contributed to the compression issues with the Hong Kong disc.
Both discs come with the option of DTS or Dolby Digital Korean. The Hong Kong disc states that the tracks are ES and EX enhanced, which unfortunately I am unable to verify, as my system does not meet those particular specs (feel free to E-Mail me anytime, and we can discuss the 'Gabe Powers Audio Upgrade' pledge drive). The Tartan disc states that it too has EX enhancement on the Dolby track, but claims seem to differ on if the DTS track is ES enhanced. I'm going to go ahead and assume it is. All four tracks sound more or less the same.

Tartan R1
Starmax R3 (Final Edition)
Starmax R3 (Special Edition)
I know there's apparently a great amount of upgrade when it comes to DTS vs. Dolby, but, here especially, I don't hear it. What I do hear is a slightly higher volume level. I suppose if I cranked it up until my ears were bleeding, I may notice more distortion in the Dolby track. There is no more division between the channels, no more crispness to the dialogue, nothing but more volume. I suppose that the bass channel is, if I listen real close, a little less diffused on the DTS track.
So far as the difference between the DVDs, as I said, it's negligible. The Tartan release gets a slight edge when it comes to overall oomph, as the Hong Kong disc is quieter on similar volume levels. Neither disc is superbly impressive, and only really come to life when the beautiful electro-symphonic score kicks in. If you're looking for a demo disc, neither release is your ideal destination, but mostly due to the film's nature, not the mixes themselves. I should note that the Tartan release contains an English dub track that I decided not to listen to.
Here's the bit of my comparison review that is rendered moot. These are two of the plainest releases of this film available. Had I one of the many special editions on the market, rest assured, there'd be some major comparing here (maybe Mal could see it in his heart to 'lend' me his Korean Ultimate Edition for an update on this article someday). As it stands, the Tartan disc wins out because of two simple inclusions: deleted scenes and a director and cinematographer commentary.
The Hong Kong disc only includes a few of the expected basic extras—all in Chinese, or Korean with Chinese subtitles—or are commercials. The behind the scenes feature is really just a longer trailer, and again, without subtitles anyway. I personally purchased this edition because of its cheap price, and when it comes to DVD extras, you usually get what you pay for.
A little more unexpected is Tartan's lack of solid making-of material, especially considering their more inclusive, two-disc UK release. Why those addition features weren't included is a mystery to me. The aforementioned deleted scenes and commentary track are nice to have, but neither particularly blew my mind. The deleted scenes reveal very little more of the film, and were obviously cut for pacing reasons. They total five in all.
Edko R3
Tartan R1
Starmax R3 (Final Edition)
Starmax R3 (Special Edition)
The commentary is far too technical for my taste, and is mostly dominated by talk of the film's look, which though enormously important, is not the whole film. There is no word, for instance, about the use of ants as imagery, something I was hoping to have explained to me. Perhaps the mystery is part of the drama, and better left to the viewer's imagination. This lack of true question answering follows through into the brief director interview, which is really a Q and A session. I'm led to believe that Park isn't interested in spelling out his film's meanings to his viewers, a stance that can prove frustrating to fans, but is ultimately admirable.
The rest of the Tartan disc is made up of trailers, including the winner of an online competition, which in some respects is better than the ads Tartan chose to run with, but ultimately doesn't have that polished and professional look.
Of these two editions (the most modestly priced on the world market), the Tartan disc wins out due to its superior picture merits. Though it doesn't show so well on my provided screen captures, there is a definite difference, mostly due to too much digital compression on the part of the Hong Kong release. The audio presentations are pretty much identical. Extras are slim on the Tartan release, when compared to their UK release, and nearly nil on the Hong Kong release. Both discs pale in comparison to other, far grander releases in the extras department.
(Readers may know that I tend to base my final score about 70% in favour of the quality of the film, but as this is a more technically based review, I've decided for an actual average for my final score.)

Chemical engineers apply the principles of chemistry, biology, physics, and math to solve problems that involve the production or use of chemicals, fuel, drugs, food, and many other products. They design processes and equipment for manufacturing, test production methods, and oversee byproducts treatment. Process engineers are specialists working in a particular process, such as oxidation or polymerization (making plastics and resins).
A Professional Engineering (PE) license can be acquired later in one's career. Licensed engineers are also called professional engineers (PEs). A PE can oversee the work of other engineers, sign off on projects, and provide services directly to the public. State licensure generally requires a degree from an ABET-accredited engineering program, a passing score on the Fundamentals of Engineering (FE) exam, and 4 years of relevant work experience. The initial FE exam can be taken after earning a bachelor's degree. Engineers who pass this exam are commonly called engineers in training (EIT). After meeting work experience requirements, EITs can take a second exam, called the Principles and Practice of Engineering. Each state issues its own licenses, although most states recognize licensure from other states. Beyond major requirements within the department, you may consider Clarendon College thermodynamics as a complementary elective.

"You write one check - We do the rest ... It's that simple."
How Does a PEO Arrangement Work? Once a client company contracts with a PEO, the PEO will then co-employ the client's worksite employees. In the arrangement among a PEO, a worksite employee and a client company, there exists a co-employment relationship in which both the PEO and client company have an employment relationship with the worker. The PEO and client company share and allocate responsibilities and liabilities. The PEO assumes much of the responsibility and liability for the business of employment, such as risk management, human resource management, and payroll and employee tax compliance. The client company retains responsibility for and manages product development and production, business operations, marketing, sales, and service. The PEO and the client will share certain responsibilities for employment law compliance. As a co-employer, the PEO will often provide a complete human resource and benefit package for worksite employees. (Source NAPEO).

PEO Revenues
NAPEO estimates the PEO industry grew a very robust $5 billion in 2008, to $68 billion in gross revenues. (The industry defines gross revenues as the total of its clients' payrolls and the fees PEOs charge them for taking on their human-resource activities.) Small- and medium-sized businesses outsource to PEOs everything from administering the payroll and paying employment related taxes, to risk management, recruiting, providing health benefits, and securing workers' compensation coverage.
About 700 PEOs are operating in 50 states. The industry's gross revenue has grown as PEOs attract more diverse, fast-growth clients and the typical salary of the worksite employees increases. PEOs' expanded human resources services and employee benefits provide a high value and efficient outsourcing option for businesses from many different industries
