MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury Union High School football coach Dennis Smith said he remembered a game like his team's 20-14 overtime win over visiting Otter Valley Friday — when he was a high school freshman in 1983.
OV coach Dennis Perry said of the wind-swept, rain-soaked battle that, "It was just a couple of big old heavyweights going at it in a slugfest, and they were the last man standing."
MIDDLEBURY — Leaders of the Parent-Child Center of Addison County are saluting the organization's 30th birthday with a $2 million fund-raising campaign to perpetually extend services to needy clients.
The local Parent-Child Center is widely considered Vermont's model organization for giving young parents the counseling and support services they need to become independent and productive citizens.
RIPTON — Ensconced in a former farmhouse tucked away amid the tree-filled slopes of Ripton, one could already argue that attending classes at the North Branch School is akin to going back to nature.
But the more than two-dozen students and faculty at North Branch took that concept a step further last week, as part of their contribution to the more than 5,200 worldwide global warming action events that occurred on Oct. 24 through the efforts of 350.org.
ADDISON COUNTY — Tomato season has come and gone, but late blight — a fungal disease that infected many tomato and potato crops in Vermont this summer — is still on the minds of many gardeners this fall.
As farmers and gardeners put their plots to bed, they're taking care to make sure the blight, credited with causing the Irish potato famine of the 1840s, won't spread to next year's crops.

MIDDLEBURY — On Sept. 1, family members and friends of the U.S. Army 8-1 Cavalry regiment set out to travel 10,239 miles.
This was the total distance that the troops in the unit had traveled to reach Afghanistan from their home base in Washington state, and their loved ones set out to travel the same distance — by adding up miles exercised — in the "Race to Afghanistan."
VERGENNES — City Planning Commission Chairman Neil Curtis discussed at the Oct. 27 city council meeting two issues planners have dealt with in recent months: backyard chickens and off-site sandwich boards.
Essentially, Curtis said planners believe that all chickens are illegal under current zoning, but that new laws could offer room for compromise.
"That's something we'd like to consider changing for smaller numbers," he said, noting planners also believe aldermen should consider a "nuisance ordinance" for backyard fowl violations rather than harder-to-enforce zoning provisions.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Oct. 27 inched closer to a decision to accept ownership of the land under the city pool and nearby recreation facilities and discussed a way to help finance long-term operation and maintenance of the pool.
City Manager Mel Hawley suggested that the city council should request that the Vergennes ID school board, which now owns the land but is scheduled to dissolve next June, sell an adjacent eight-acre parcel it also owns and turn the proceeds over to the city.
The take from the sale could create a fund to help Vergennes afford pool ownership, he said.

Williamsburg, June 1.
Gwin's island which contains 2300 acres of land, with about 500 head of cattle, 1000 sheep, etc. situate at the mouth of Piankatank river, is now possessed by the enemy. Lord Dunmore landed 800 men there on Monday last [May 27], who have thrown up an entrenchment on the land side, which is guarded chiefly by the black regiment.
Virginia Gazette (Dixon & Hunter) June 1, 1776
About this entry:
In November 1775, Dunmore had emancipated the slaves of the American patriots and invited the slaves to join him. He named them "Dunmore's Royal Ethiopian Regiment". It is this regiment that guarded the land side of the island, facing the Gloucester County mainland.

I'm 26 and have been a heavy smoker for half my life.
In auctions and on trade lists I always see the:
"from a smoke free home" tag.
My question for the non-smokers is, just how bad is it? Can you actually tell when an LP or a CD came from a smoker or not?

yes, it is definitely noticeable. still it differs a lot. got records that had only a slight smell of smoke which was getting volatilised after some time, but there were also records with plague-yellowish staining to the jackets and inner sleeves and an overall stink right when i opened the parcel. guess it depends on how you have stored your records so far and how much you have smoked at home. is there a seperate room where you keep your records?

I don't know about the damage it can cause to vinyl, but when I get CDs whose booklet smell like smoke, it doesn't bother me too much. The smell fades and disappears over time, so long as they're not visibly damaged, who cares.

Yes, you always can. If it is a home that is smoked in (Not a home lived in by smokers, but a home that smoked in), you can almost always smell it on whatever it is. Especially if it is clothes.
Shirts from Moribund ALWAYS smelled like smoke. The smell is always stronger to those who do not smoke. Personally, it does not bother me. I do not smoke, but I do not have a problem with it. The smell can be washed out of clothes.
The problem arises when the tar attaches itself to LP sleeves and the vinyl itself. Go to someone's home that has been smoke din for awhile and a take a picture off the wall - guarantee it will be whiter underneath.
There is a local bar/restaurant here that has been smoked in for YEARS; everything in that place is this fucking yellow-ish brown. I think it adds a nice rustic charm...

at first, i thought it was no big deal .. maybe kinda cool
after 100's of used records.. its defenitly gotten to me ..... the nicotine/chemicals EMBEDS itself into the cardboard, and over time, it gets this putrid smell that never goes away .. if anything, it gets worse and more pungent .. some arent that bad, and some i desperately want to throw out, but can't let go if its a good album .. the worst are the ones from heavy cigar smokers .. one whiff of that and you'll be gagging!
also, try to avoid collections that have been sitting in cellars and attics for years ... unseen mold! and more rotten smells
i actually get sick over it sometimes (head colds, ect) ... maybe im a wimp, but it really fucks with the experience for me

if it smells like smoke it's no longer mint, like comic books
i remember getting some svest, cantus bestiae, christicide etc tapes and opening the package released the thick aroma of marlboros.
since that brief moment, i've never noticed it.
As a smoker I should keep all my collection in plastic wrappings so they do not attract such a tarnish, in case i end up hocking all my stuff to the ebay collectors

It's bad.
Being a heavy smoker myself, I moved to a new place a few
years ago. used to smoke at the old place - a lot. At the new place
I decided to refrain from doing so (still smoking, but not in the flat).
Don't want to go back. Can't stand the smell anymore, can't stand
that sticky layer of yellow nicotine anymore (affecting everything,
books, records, walls, windows...). It really does make a difference.

So the smell fades in time? Granted it has been smoked around for years?
I know all about the yellowing too. In my old bedroom, I smoked for years and years. I'd just stay in there for days in a drug haze. Chain smoking and getting high without even cracking the window. One day I took a poster off the wall and noticed how bad it actually is. I also noticed it on some CD booklets and some jewel cases actually had a sticky yellow goo on them.
I'm asking, because I'm curious to see how terrible it is for some non-smokers. I've sold stuff in the past that was smoked around and never had anyone throw a hissy fit.
My cousin is one of those anti-smoking, obsessive personality disorder pain-in-the-asses. He's a real stickler about the smell of cigarettes, but I've never seen him refuse to take something that I've given him.
I "try" not to smoke in the house and don't really do it constantly as I used to. I also don't smoke around my collection. My sense of smell is gone after all these years, but the yellowing I can't stand. THAT is damage and to pay hard earned money on stuff to ruin it like that is pretty stupid. It also hinders your chances of getting rid of it later if you decide you no longer want it.
I've also heard smoke could effect playback on vinyl after a while, which makes sense. If it's actually staining and leaving residue on your walls, then it's doing the same to your records.
Notice I only care about the effects it has on my records and not my health, ha.

"Dear Dave ...": The Virus Writes Back!
This blog entry was written in response to the "Write a Letter to HIV" Campaign. Find out how you can be part of this campaign, and write your own letter to -- or from -- HIV.
Are you surprised? Seriously! How can you be surprised? You knew all about me before we met and let me remind you ... you knew what to expect! How many friends had I killed, with you watching me do it and yet still determined to get into bed with me eventually? Oh please, don't tell me you never meant for this to happen! You pretty much knew how to avoid it, or am I wrong?
So friend, excuse me if I don't shed a tear for your predicament. I've been accused of being many things but compassionate isn't one of them; it's not built into my DNA. Apart from that, let's be honest, you've not got it that bad pal. Okay, you've been through a few medication regimes; had a few uncomfortable secondary infections and now have neuropathy which you claim has ruined your life! Well boo hoo! A little pain and physical exhaustion never killed anyone (and God knows I've tried!) so count your lucky stars, it could have been much worse.
What's that you say? You do appreciate that others have it much, much worse? Oh how good of you; can you see my sneer? A bit of a cop-out don't you think? What you mean to say is, thank God that others are worse off than you and let me remind you, God had very little to do with it!
Every day I can still hear you thinking that it's all going to get better soon. There's still a tiny part of you that thinks that one day you're going to wake up and life will be back to normal. That makes me giggle. All you're going to do is one day wake up and smell the roses and they don't smell of optimism! Anyway, who's to say you'd have learned your lesson? You'd probably pick me up again somewhere, somehow! You're stuck with me I'm pleased to say; another convert on the road to world domination and damn the scientists who've managed to keep you and the rest of the so called survivors alive this long. Oh well, never mind, I've still got Africa and Asia and don't get me going about the business potential in Russia, Eastern Europe and China. I've got enough deals going on there to keep me busy for decades to come.
You never mentioned it but back to your guilt complex; there must be enough potential there to stress you to death and all those others who are wracked with guilt over what's happened to them. I also happen to have influence over the mind you know and the longer you all live, the stronger that influence will become. Happy days! Oh wait, you're one of those who doesn't really feel guilty aren't you? You've swallowed the politically correct BS that tells you nobody was meant to die of sex and the fault is all mine! Wise up buddy; sex has killed people throughout history. Syphilis was a colleague of mine until they found the right antibiotics but he's still around. The Middle Ages right up to the 19th century were good times for him and various plague relatives but he doesn't kill so much anymore although he can still make lives miserable enough. So don't blame me buddy boy; it's like blaming the chickens for bird flu. The blame is all yours ... feeling better yet?
Remember Tony, or Steve, or his friend (the name slips my mind and apparently yours too ... shame on you)? Remember how they were in the last months? Sure you do but you prefer not to, don't you? Don't you think that if you'd been thinking of those faces and their blotchy bodies and skin and bones, you might have been able to cancel the appointment with me? How many Aids films did you cry over? How many Aids novels did you read, with bottled up horror? How many times were you told about another of my victims and felt the lump in your conscience grow bigger? So give me a god dammed break! I'm not the one to blame; the spider's raison d'être is catching the fly! I was just hanging around and you blundered with full awareness into my web. You can't even blame alcohol or drugs can you? Yeah I know you tried but ... Hello! Choices! They were all yours.
Strange eh! You've got to give me credit; I found the one human weakness that's common to just about everybody. Lust is a beauty and can always be relied on. I know, drugs needles and blood transmissions were co-conduits but I have to confess, they were more like happy accidents. I am still getting quite a few clients from those sources and by the way, I can't say I agree with free needles and junky tolerance. C'mon, the fun is in swapping and sharing them a few times!
It's the perfect sting. Humans aren't going to give up lust; it's one way to escape from the rest of their miserable lives and so long as I can use the human metro to travel from one body to another, I win every time. Oh wait, not every time! I forgot about condoms. They are irritating but luckily they're irritating for me and you both, so enough men leave them off and toss the dice ... win, win!
Another of my ace cards is that many people now think that I'm a "treatable" disease and don't take me seriously any more. You thought that didn't you? Yeah you did; just a little bit! A few pills a day to keep the virus away: you wish! I got that bit of advertising free but you all forget that suppressing me is not getting rid of me!
Anyway, within a few decades all you people from the first wave will be dead anyway, so let me talk about the youngsters. Now there's a rich source for the future. Carefree, loving sex, hating condoms and open to persuasion -- my sort of people! I almost wish I could be an extreme, right wing Republican, or an Iranian Mullah and campaign for family values again. Ha, family values, that was always a hoot! Fifty percent divorce rates sort of make a mockery of that don't they? But I digress, the youngsters are my future and they don't have the inbuilt nightmares of having seen me in action, like you guys. You're dinosaurs now; they don't believe you; can't identify with you; it never happened! Now that's how to spin a virus. Although, first-hand witnessing never stopped you did it? Feeling guilty now? Not even a tiny bit? Maybe you are a hard nut to crack! Oh wait, you took me on ... actually you were a pushover!
Oh, I see, now you're saying that you're a fatalist? Que sera, sera and all that clichéd crap. You're the type who says that if it's your time, you can't do anything about it; or if the bus hits you, you were powerless to change what happened and getting HIV and neuropathy, plus lung problems and arthritis was either predetermined or a product of life's chaos theories. Well keep thinking that pal, if it makes you feel better. However, one day, maybe your last day, you'll wake up to see the truth for what it was. It's been nice knowing you really it has but don't fool yourself: letting me into your life I took to be an invitation, not a result of fate. How does that fit in with your "positive outlook!"
With my best interests at heart,

Tax Review Board[Record group 70-100]
Agency home page.
Agency Function
- The Tax Review Board is the official agency of the City of Philadelphia to which taxpayers may appeal decisions made by the City's Revenue Department concerning their tax liability.
The powers and duties of the Board include the following:
All hearings held by the Tax Review Board are open to the public. Decisions of the Tax Review Board for compromises and waivers of interest and penalty are considered final. All other decisions of the Tax Review Board are open to appeal to any court of competent jurisdiction.
- Reviewing and deciding on appeals for the assessment of taxes for wage earners and businesses, excessive water and sewer charges and license and inspection nuisance abatement fees;
- Determining appeals filed for the interest and penalties on delinquent taxes;
- Approving or modifying petitions for refunds and offers in compromise which have been granted by the Revenue Department;
- Hearing petitions resulting from the denial of refunds by the Revenue Department.
- Agency History
- The Tax Review Board was authorized by Section 3-100(f) of the Home Rule Charter in 1951. A City Council ordinance, approved on 9 September 1953, empowered the creation of the Board and defined its powers. It consists of five members appointed by the Mayor for terms of six years, who are charged with the duty of hearing appeals from the decisions of any City administrative office fixing the amounts of taxes, water or sewer rents, and license fees, or from decisions of the Revenue Commissioner concerning refunds of such monies or the denial or compromising of claims for them. At least one member must be an accountant and one a lawyer. None of the members can be an officer or an employee of the legislative or executive branch of the Philadelphia government or of any governmental agency which receives an appropriation from the City. Under the Mayor's Executive Order 4-95, signed on 1 September 1995, the Tax Review Board was placed under the jurisdiction of the newly-created Office of Administrative Review in the Office of the Director of Finance.

It's Thursday already?
Obviously, the meds and home care wouldn't be enough. She was scanned again and this time they found a "thickening" on her gall bladder. (Later, we were told that CT scans aren't capable of seeing gall bladders well and that ultrasounds are much better.) The ER doc said her gall bladder would probably have to come out, but there wasn't a surgeon on staff here on weekends. She'd have to be transferred to St. Johns in Tulsa.
The ambulance arrived, not the city ambulance but a company that does nothing but transport patients between hospitals. Lyndsay wanted to ride with her mom and the crew said it was OK, but she'd have to ride up front. She said the ambulance rattled and squeaked. The driver hit every pothole and seam on the road because he was concentrating on chatting her up. Lyndsay was not impressed. Later, Mary even commented on the harsh ride and noise, and this from a woman who was more than a little dopey.
I drove down to Tulsa after getting a few things together for Mary. We suffered through the afternoon and evening, her face a grimace of pain when the morphine wore off. Lyndsay wanted to stay overnight, but the head nurse wouldn't allow it.
Monday morning, they did an ultrasound and it revealed what the surgeon called a "sick" gall bladder. He said it didn't have gall stones or an infection. It was just sick, and it wouldn't get any better. It had to come out. He did the surgery that afternoon.
If you're at all interested in how this is done, there's a video on YouTube, of course. It's not gory. In fact, I watched it while having lunch. But the truly squeamish may want to avoid it.
That night, she was very sore and stiff. The nausea continued and she was running a fever. The surgeon had installed a drain "to get all the badness out of her" and it was yet another impediment to getting up and down from the bed. The usual procedure was for one of us to walk backwards in front of her, holding her hands for balance, while the other trailed behind carrying the drain apparatus and rolling her IV stand.
Lyndsay and I returned on Tuesday morning. There had been little change from her pre-operative condition. She was still in considerable pain that the morphine controlled, but it caused a lot of drowsiness. Little by little she improved through the day, until by evening she was tossing an occasional sarcastic remark my way. That was a very good sign.
Lyndsay stayed at the hospital Tuesday night. She said 'Nurse Ratched' was off shift and another nurse allowed her to stay. This probably had something to do with Lyndsay's job as a nurse tech, since the nursing staff would be burdened with one less patient. She pushed two chair together and fell asleep wrapped in a couple of blankets. Mary got up during the night and tip-toed past her to the bathroom. The duty nurses were amazed she was walking on her own so soon.
At home, I told Jordan and two of his friends about the Nurse Ratched bit, and received blank stares in return. So I had to explain about the book. These kids are pre-literate.
Wednesday, Mary was almost herself again. They discontinued the morphine. She took a different pain killer, but still slept more than she was awake. We were hoping she'd go home. Her mild fever continued, though it was well-controlled by acetaminophen, and the nausea was reduced. But the doctor didn't release her. Lyndsay and I jetted home so she could get a shower and a change of clothing, then she was off to spend the night again.
That brings us up to today - Thursday - and tomorrow is Christmas Eve. My original plan was to do my shopping this week. Fat chance. I'm still not finished and it looks like I'll run out of time. I'm staying close to home because we cannot leave Mary alone. I have to make one run tomorrow, and Lyndsay will be here. I don't know what we're doing for Christmas dinner because Jordan will be working, Mary won't have much appetite, and Lyndsay and I are hardly going to cook a big meal for just the two of us. Maybe we'll just celebrate Orthodox Christmas - what my grandmother called Russian Christmas - in January.
I feel like a huge weight has been taken from my shoulders. Sure, the last week has been intense and exhausting, but I have my family here for the holidays and they're a treasure beyond compare. My wife and daughter are lionesses, fiercely protective and caring of their own. I'm proud to know them. My son does his best impression of stoic resolve, but I know this tears him up inside. He tries to hide it, not always successfully. And me? I'm simply exhausted. Daughter has thrown me out of my room so she can look after her mom, and not one of my protests was given serious (or any) consideration.
It won't be the first time I've slept on the couch.

De Anza founds San Francisco
Juan Bautista de Anza, one of the great western pathfinders of the 18th century, arrives at the future site of San Francisco with 247 colonists.
Though little known among Americans because of his Spanish origins, Anza's accomplishments as a western trailblazer merit comparison with those of Lewis and Clark, John Fremont, and Kit Carson. Born and raised in Mexico, Anza joined the army when he was 17 and became a captain seven years later. He excelled as a military leader, displaying tactical genius in numerous battles with the Apache Indians.
In 1772, Anza made his first major exploratory mission, leading an arduous but successful expedition northwest to the Pacific Coast. Anza's expedition established the first successful overland connections between the Mexican State of Sonora and northern California. Impressed by this accomplishment, the Mexican viceroy commissioned Anza to return to California and establish a permanent settlement along the Pacific Coast at San Francisco Bay.
Although seagoing Spanish explorers had sailed along the northern California coast during the 16th and 17th centuries, the amazing natural harbor of San Francisco Bay was only discovered in 1769. The Spanish immediately recognized the strategic importance of the bay, though it would be seven years before they finally dispatched Anza to establish a claim there.
Anza and 247 colonists arrived at the future site of San Francisco on this day in 1776. Anza established a presidio, or military fort, on the tip of the San Francisco peninsula. Six months later, a Spanish Franciscan priest founded a mission near the presidio that he named in honor of St. Francis of Assisi—in Spanish, San Francisco de Asiacutes.
The most northerly outpost of the Spanish Empire in America, San Francisco remained an isolated and quiet settlement for more than half a century after Anza founded the first settlement. It was not until the 1830s that an expansionist United States began to realize the commercial potential of the magnificent natural harbor. In the wake of the Mexican War, the U.S. took possession of California in 1848, though San Francisco was still only a small town of 900 at that time. With the discovery of gold that year at Sutter's Fort, however, San Francisco boomed. By 1852, San Francisco was home to more than 36,000 people.
The founder of San Francisco did not live to see it flourish. After establishing the San Francisco presidio, Anza returned to Mexico. In 1777, he was appointed governor of New Mexico, where he eventually negotiated a critical peace treaty with Commanche Indians, who agreed to join the Spanish in making war on the Apache. In declining health, Anza retired as governor in 1786 and returned to Sonora. He died two years later, still only in his early 50s and remembered as one of greatest trailblazers and soldiers in Spain's northern borderlands.

Conanwrote a review of NAU Riding Jacket - Men's on July 20, 2013
I like it..
Familiarity: I've used it several times
Fit: True to size
Its a little shinier than it looks in the photo but it works. The upper pocket on the front has a zipper and the inner pocket is a little small.
There is a button near the collar so you can button it up tight it things get nasty.

Tuesday's Conference Check-In Teaser…Posted by Brian Goodman on January 11th, 2011
Our conference correspondents around the world of college hoops get you caught up on the week that was in their conference check-ins. For the full articles, click the links or point your mouse to the "Conference Check-Ins" dropdown tab at the top of the page.
- ACC: Duke (15-0, 2-0) dominated UAB before getting the job done against Maryland. Duke's two close wins to start conference play might be cause for concern, but no one has waltzed through their schedule so far. The Blue Devils are going to lose a couple of games this year, probably on the road when threes aren't falling–and the other team is shooting well. But wins are wins, and it's very important to know how to win close games as well as blowouts." (Matt Patton)
- Big Ten (The conference names will be hyperlinked to live posts): "The Big Ten powers continued to dominate this week, as Illinois, Purdue and Ohio State are a combined 10-0 in conference. The other teams though are starting to look very vulnerable. Michigan State's loss at Penn State revealed some problems with the Spartans' attack, while Minnesota doesn't seem to have the firepower to hang with the top teams in the conference. And where is Wisconsin going to be when this all shakes out? The Badgers are the conference's biggest enigma." (John Templon)
- Big 12: "Outside of conference play, there were two more games of note. Saturday, Texas dropped one at home to the ninth ranked Connecticut Huskies late in overtime by just a point. Right now, the sense is that the Longhorns have solved the concerns from a year ago, but this Longhorn team actually sits at a worse record than the team that collapsed so epically last season." (Owen Kemp)
- Missouri Valley: "The Missouri Valley Conference has been known historically as a guard-oriented league, but several teams are relying on their frontcourt players to lead them along: Missouri State's front line of Kyle Weems and Will Creekmore, Creighton's Doug McDermott, Kenny Lawson, and Gregory Echenique, and Southern Illinois' Gene Teague, Mamadou Seck and Carlton Fay are examples of players that are carrying their teams that are not necessarily guards." (Patrick Marshall)
- Conference USA: "It took three overtimes to decide the winner of UTEP at UAB on Saturday afternoon. In a nationally televised game, the Blazers and Miners went back and forth with UAB coming away with a much-needed 100-97 win in their conference opener. The Blazers had been beaten by more than 20 points earlier in the week by No. 1 Duke. Before that, the team had won five in a row. As for the Miners, they had been winners of ten of their last eleven until Saturday's loss." (Stephen Coulter)

Arch-Shaped Socks
I finally took pictures to show off my Arch-Shaped Socks. I knit the fishbone cable & twisted rib version (there are about five others you can choose from the pattern, including several different ones with stranded colorwork and a knee-high Aran version I'm longing to knit) in Teeswater wool from Shaggy Bear Farm in Scio, Oregon (purchased via A Verb for Keeping Warm's Farm Series).
I'm just crazy about them. I wondered whether the twisted rib would be comfortable under the sole of the foot; I'm happy to report that it is indeed. I've worn these five or six times already. Thanks for a wonderful pattern, Meg!

Happy Fourth of July to you all!
The American flag is proudly waving in front of my house and hundreds of others in my small community.
Yesterday my husband Bob and I enjoyed a great barbecue and saw some spectacular fireworks. We also nourished the patriotism we feel in our hearts about this great country.
While on the subject of patriotism, I want to give you some news concerning the biography I wrote about my dad, published in 2008. The first paperback edition of A Salute to Patriotism: The Life and Work of Major General Howard L. Peckham, has sold out and is no longer available.
Here's the good news. The second edition, published in May 2011, is now on Amazon.com. Please take a look inside by clicking on the following link. I think you'll be glad you did.

Former Sebastian Bach Drummer Mark 'Bam Bam' McConnell Dies
There's sad news to report as onetime Sebastian Bach touring drummer Mark 'Bam Bam' McConnell passed today (May 24).
Bach himself alerted fans that McConnell was in ill health yesterday, asking his fans to pray for the stickman. Another McConnell associate had informed fans that the drummer's liver and kidneys had begun to shut down and that he had suffered partial brain damage.
McConnell's wife Rikki paid tribute to the musician in a Facebook posting. She stated, "My sweet, beautiful best friend and husband. I miss you so much and so do Sara and Patch. I'll take good care of them. My time with you was way too short, but what an adventure! Wow! I'll love you always and always! You'll be in my heart!!! Xoxoxoxox." The drummer reportedly passed at 9:42AM ET this morning (May 24) surrounded by his family and friends.
McConnell was part of Bach's touring band from 1997 through 2005, and also played with the group Blackfoot in 2006 and 2007. Tributes from friends, family and peers have been left at the drummer's Facebook page.

Last year, most of the stories about the problems in the Jets' locker room centered around receiver Santonio Holmes. This year, Jets coach Rex Ryan gives Holmes much of the credit for creating a more harmonious atmosphere.
Ryan told Conor Orr of the Star-Ledger that one of the big changes he has made this season is he has become more involved with the offensive players instead of simply keeping all of his focus on the defense. Ryan said he believes he's been able to foster team unity by getting involved more in the whole team, and he says it was Holmes who persuaded him to make sure he was involved in the offense.
"The first guy that told me was actually Santonio Holmes," Ryan said. "We had some very honest conversations, and he was the first one that told me."
Holmes is done for the season with a foot injury, so he's not contributing at all on the field. But to hear Ryan tell it, Holmes has been a positive force on the Jets off the field. Which is a major change from a year ago.

Kirilenko continues to compete internationally with the Russian national team. In 2011, Kirilenko became an American citizen.
He is sometimes nicknamed AK47 because his initials are AK and his jersey number is 47.

Stop-motion animation is one of the simplest, most fun animation techniques. Mix equal parts digital camera, computer, and imagination (you've got all three), and you're on your way. Although flashier computer-generated animation is in vogue, stop-motion has a rich heritage of its own.
And it's not limited to claymation, either–Tim Burton used stop-motion and puppets to create The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Comedy Central's Robot Chicken uses stop-motion with action figures and toy props.
You can use just about anything in your stop-motion animation, and thanks to digital cameras and computers, creating one is now super easy. There are many ways to go about shooting, editing and finalizing a stop-motion short; Sanjeev Nanda your guide will be covering the simplest. Don't be discouraged by the number of steps! It's much easier than it first appears.
Things You Need for Stop Motion Video
The first thing you need is, of course, an idea. Try to stick with something simple for your first one–any action that can be split up into smaller parts works well.
You may wish to make an inanimate object appear as though it is alive; for example, a sock inching its way across the floor or a piece of paper that crumples itself up. While brainstorming, keep in mind that you can expect to shoot around 10 photos for every second of film.
Second, you'll need a digital camera. Since you won't be printed these photos, you can set your camera to the lowest size image setting. This will let you fit more images on your memory card at a time. Depending on how long you'd like your movie to be, you may need to "fill and dump" your camera (copying the photos to your computer and erasing the memory card) multiple times before you are finished.
Finally, in order to turn your images into an animated video you will need video editing software like Apple's iMovie or QuickTime Pro. There are also a number of free and shareware programs for Mac, Windows, and Linux, some of which are listed at the end of this tutorial. More information about these programs is available on their respective websites.
Step 1: Shoot Your Animation
Let's say, for example, that you would like to make an action figure move itself across the floor. Start at the beginning: place the action figure somewhere and take your first photo. Remember, you want to use camera (still frame) mode, not movie mode.
Using a tripod and only moving your object will make it appear as though your object is moving through your frame. Keeping the object in the same general area in each frame by moving the camera along with it will make it appear as though you are traveling with the object. It's up to you.
After you've taken your first photograph, move the action figure slightly in the direction you want it to travel and take another photo. Move it again by the same distance, and take one more. Continue this until the action figure reaches where you want it to stop. You can manipulate your object in creative ways to add visual interest to your film, just make sure that whatever movement your object makes is done slowly over several frames.
Finally, if you make a mistake while shooting, delete that picture on your camera and take another. This will save you from having to edit your film later.
Step 2: Download Your Photos
Now that you've captured your images, you'll need to get them onto your computer. This process varies widely from camera to camera and computer to computer. Consult your camera guide and software "Help" if you are unfamiliar with this process.
First, import your image files to the camera, and give them their own album. Once your photos have been imported, open any movie authoring software, for eg. iMovie for Mac, JPGVideo for Windows.
Step 3: Animate Your Photos
In order for your animated short to play properly, you must tell the software you are using, how long you want each photo to appear before showing the next one. It's kind of like creating a slideshow, except instead of giving each image a few seconds, you give it only a fraction of a second. The timing you choose will affect the overall tempo and length of your film.
For action figure example Sanjeev Nanda used a duration of 3 frames-per-photo. Normally movie authoring softwares play at 30 frames-per-second, a setting of 3 frames-per-photo means you'll see 10 photos every second. Now you can see why you have to shoot so many photos!
If you use the 3 frames-per-photo setting, you can easily estimate how many photos you'll need to create a movie of a given length. In our example we used around 100 photos, for 10 seconds of video. If we wanted to make an animation exactly 30 seconds long, we'd shoot 300 photos.
This next step is very important, so stay with us! If you are using iMovie, select all of the photographs in your stop-motion album (the quick way to do this is to click on the very first photo and then, holding down the shift key, scroll down and click on the last photo.) Now click "Show Photo Settings" and type in "0:03″ for your duration in the floating window that appears. Click the Apply button and your photos will start getting sucked into the timeline at the bottom of the window.
Once iMovie's finished filling the timeline, hit play. You just created your first stop-motion animated video short!
Final Touches: Music and Sharing
To fine tune your animation, you can slow it down by choosing to use more than 3 frames-per-photo. You can also add music to your short by dragging MP3s or AIFF files to the timeline. To share your stop-motion video, you'll want to convert it to avi or mp4 or any other popular format.
That's it! Don't forget to save your project often as you go along, and check out Vimeo — a cool place to upload your finished videos!
One of the best stop motion videos i've seen:

I don't suppose many people go to see movies in search of "great walking scenes." Even I don't do that. But if a movie happens to contain the odd great walking scene, then so much the better.
And so it is with Seven Psychopaths, which I saw at the weekend, a movie that's so in love with itself it's actually rather hard to love, but which has its climax in Joshua Tree National Park. The director has a casual disregard for distances and proximity (it's that kind of movie, and I have no complaints on that score), but any movie that has both Colin Farrell and Christopher Walken tramping through the desert void is OK by me.
A couple of hours after I'd seen the movie I encountered a hot and bothered young woman walking along the street, flustered, apparently lost, and she asked me urgently which way was Hillhurst Avenue. I pointed her in the right direction.
"Is it far?" she asked.
"Yes," said, "it's a bit of a walk."
I didn't specify how far. It was probably a mile and a half, and she didn't look like much of a walker but I didn't want to jump to conclusions.
"Oh my fucking LIFE!" she said, to nobody in particular, certainly not to me, and walked on. Well, I didn't expect to be thanked …

Have a look at the services offered by Construire en santé!
MÉDIC Construction is a private insurance plan reserved exclusively for members of the construction industry; it is funded entirely by the construction industry. This insurance plan is universal for two reasons:
This universality enables workers to preserve their rights even when they change employers or work regions.
The MÉDIC Construction insurance plan offers coverage:
This coverage is determined by the industry's union and employer associations. MÉDIC Construction is administered by the Commission de la construction du Québec (CCQ).
Workers and retirees in the construction industry may be covered by MÉDIC Construction's basic insurance plans or the retirees' insurance plan if they meet certain conditions. Some trades have supplementary insurance plans offering additional coverage to that in the basic plans. MÉDIC Construction provides family insurance coverage - that is, dependents of insureds may also receive certain coverage.
Those insured by MÉDIC construction also profit from a health-promotion and -management program, CONSTRUIRE en santé. This program gives them access to professional services related to physical and mental health.
The MÉDIC Construction card confirms the insurance plan under which the worker or retiree is covered. It also permits the holder to use direct payment for certain medical and dental expenses.
For the insurance period of July to December 2018, more than 134,000 people were insured. When dependents are taken into account, MÉDIC Construction covers about 300,000 individuals.
