The lights are on
When Deadly Premonition director Hidetaka "Swery 65" Suehiro announced D4: Dark Dreams Don't Die at E3,
he didn't reveal much other than it would be an Xbox One, Kinect-enabled adventure game that you could play casually while eating popcorn. People weren't sure
what to make of this, but from the trailer one thing was evident - Swery 65's
signature quirk is alive and well.
While at Tokyo Game Show, I saw Swery 65 demo D4
for the first time. It turned out to be one of my favorite games of the
show. Here's five reasons why.
Changing The Past
The premise of D4 invites plenty of intrigue, since it
involves warping into the past. You play as David Young, a man on the hunt to find his
wife's murderer. The only lead he has is a drug boss named, "D." He has no idea
who D is, but he seeks to change the past to resolve the case. This leaves
David inside a plane trying to not draw attention to himself. After
all, people might recognize that he's not supposed to be in the past, searching
for clues. Piecing together what's going on is part of the fun, but also there's
the tension of someone getting the lead on David's mission. You never know just
who's going to confront you. As told to us by a character in the demo, "This
case is going to take you places you don't want to go."
Kooky Characters
If Swery 65 has taught us anything, it's that he knows how
to make zany characters that leave an impression. It looks like D4 is keeping
the tradition alive. A normal-looking flight attendant quickly turns from a flirt into a woman issuing a stern warning that she's on to you by
saying the flight doesn't welcome "uninvited guests." But the star of this
demo, was none other than the green-haired fashion designer Duncan and his muse
- a gold mannequin he named Sukey. He's
frighteningly obsessed with Sukey, to the point of considering her his lover.
Duncan spews phrases like "avant garde" about his ambitions and makes
vogue-like poses. Let's just say Duncan has a flamboyant nature and doesn't
exactly seem to have it all together. See treating his mannequin like a person.
Action-Packed Sequences
The action is hardly a passing fancy and short-lived. A
fight sequence broke out with a drug smuggler in our demo, where he threw
suitcases, punches, kicks, and mannequin legs. The only defense you have is to
sync with the Kinect actions on the screen.
You'll push objects out of the way by waving your arm to the side, or raise your
arms up to grab a ledge. The turbulent flight also sent characters flying with
more obstacles. The voice commands even made their way into the action by
taking a megaphone and yelling, "Hey!" to startle the opponent. Perhaps the
best touch was being thrown a mannequin leg (sorry Duncan!), and swinging it
like a baseball bat to knock out our adversary's glass eye. Swiping your hands
can only throw slaps and punches. Too bad David ended up getting kicked right
where it counts. But one thing was certain, I wasn't bored during this entire
sequence and even found myself laughing as my enemy called me, "Mr. Point Break."
Keeping The Kinect Fun
I'm not a big fan of the Kinect, so I was a bit worried when
I heard this was a Kinect game. While D4 does offer the option to play with the
controller, the game is created around Kinect, so much so it feels like it'd
be a disservice to play it with a controller. Swery 65 even said he prefers you
play the game with the Kinect. I actually could see the enhancement of the
Kinect, it brings you right into the moment and none of the controls seem gimmicky. Searching for clues and actually being able to reach your hand out to
touch or raise objects just seems natural. Even the voice commands find their
place, as you say the phrase you want when prompted with choices. You raise
your points by choosing the response that best fits the character. The game is
casual and doesn't make you overdo any of its motion controls, which gets you
involved but at a leisurely level.
Making You Feel Like You're In A TV Episode
Swery 65 emphasized his desire for each sequence to play out
like a TV episode. You're looking for a momento to get you to the next scene.
Between the Kinect controls and role-playing with dialogue selection and voice
recognition, it makes you start to feel like you're the character on screen. You're
warped right into the intense scenes by being a part of them, doing actions
similar hand gestures to the character you're portraying. Watching somebody get
beat up is one thing, but it's another to actually perform the motions like it's
you in the scene. I have a feeling this will up the engagement level,
transporting you to these vital moments.
After my demo, I was left with wanting more. Swery 65 just
may have another cult hit on his hands.
What do you think about an adventure game using Kinect
controls? Will it take the genre to a new level?

Interesting article, I wasnt sure what to make of D4 when it was announced, but I have been looking for a game to get me excited about the new kinect and this sounds like it could be the one!
Awezome :3 This makes me feel like kinect may really evolve this generation. Finally im beginning to see xbox's vision a bit more clearly. Ths reminded me of persona a bit :3
Definitely getting this when it comes out!
Main character David...mysterious killer D....time travel..."places you don't want to go..."
It can't be that simple, can it? That's like a Scooby-Doo tier plot twist
Thank you for the write up Kimberley. I look forward to giving this wild ride a try.
Wait, a game that utilizes the Kinect, doesn't feel gimmicky, and actually works well? I call shenanigans!
This is good news. Hopefully more develops can utilize it properly. As long as it's not an "on-rails" experience. I prefer to be able to explore.
Sounds really cool.
I am glad to hear that there is a controller option for the game, even if it is built for the Kinect.
Yeah, I'd definitely say this will be quirky alright...
weird. i like it

Don't sit here and play stupid and act like the Colts are leaps and bounds better than we were.......they weren't. They drafted a QB that Goodell and the league would go gay for and make a great story with the head coach having cancer. They were barely a better team than we were last year and we were horrible. I will say it now, we sweep the Jags, Colts and split with the Texans.

Objective classification of responses obtained with Neural Response Imaging
Suche in Medline nach
|31. Mai 2005
Most cochlear implants are now implanted in young children. This population may provide minimal or no feedback and hence present a challenge to program accurately. Modern cochlear implant systems support objective measurements which can complement minimal behavioural measures and greatly ease programming. However, the inherent overlap of a large stimulus artefact with the much smaller neural response may also be difficult to interpret leading to a different set of challenges.
Materials and Methods
This paper describes a rigorous, largely automatic, statistically based method for determining whether or not a neural component is present. A principle component analysis approach was taken to reduce the noise in the data. Neural Response Imaging (NRI) datasets were analyzed using the automatic system and also by a set of experienced observers as in typical clinical practice. In particular, trained observers classified each trace as a response or as a non-response.
1076 traces of Neural Response Imaging (NRI) data were analyzed. Three experienced observers produced relatively poor agreement (agreeing on only approximately 50% of the measurements). The objective method correctly identified 97% of records labeled as responses by all observers. A similar number of non-responses were correctly identified.
Because further averaging can be used to increase certainty of the measurement in borderline cases, the objective classification method may be used clinically to automatically acquire neural growth curves. This should enhance the interpretation of neural measurements and therefore improve programming of difficult cases.

Women's Lacrosse falls 16-4 to Davenport in first game as varsity sport
Thursday, March 07, 2013
Story by Mitch Blankespoor
GRAND RAPIDS, MI - The Calvin women's lacrosse team made its varsity debut on Thursday as it traveled to nearby Davenport University for a non-conference contest Thursday. The Panthers defeated the Knights 16-4 at Davenport's Turf Field.
Davenport, which came into the contest riding a four-game winning streak, got on the scoreboard early with three goals in the first five minutes - two coming from sophomore Taylor Balch (Rockford/Rockford HS).
Calvin countered with a goal from senior Katie Pranger (Denver, CO/Denver Christian) at the 23:38 mark of the first half. The Knights, however, could muster one more goal in the first half from junior MIchelle Holwerda (Grand Rapids/Grand Rapids Christian) while yielding five. Davenport led 8-2 at halftime.
"We did a great job of transitioning from defense to offense," said Calvin head coach Blake Boehm.
The second half scoring spread turned out to be the same as the first - eight goals for Davenport and two for Calvin. Junior Lissa Busscher (Holland/Holland Christian) and freshman Carolyn Forbes (Farmington Hills/Marion) scored the second half goals for the Knights.
As a team, Calvin was outshot 33-10. Senior goalkeeper Lauren Spoelstra (Oakland, NJ/Eastern Christian) was credited with nine saves.
"We had great leadership from all of our seniors," said Boehm after the game. "Lauren [Spoelstra] played outstanding in goal. The [Davenport] easily could have had more goals. She kept some tough shots out of the net."
Both teams committed 19 turnovers. Davenport held the advantage in ground balls (19-12) and draw controls (13-9).
Calvin (0-1, 0-0 MIAA) returns to action Sat., March 9, when it travels to Cincinnati, Ohio, for a game with the College of Mount Saint Joseph. The game is slated to start at 1:00 p.m. EST.

As we find ourselves in the middle of yet another awards season let us take a moment and reflect on why we, people who have nothing to do with these damn things, care? And let us also add another item to this mental exercise – acquisition formats.
In the past three months the number or articles, tweets, posts, messages and smoke signals I have seen about films like Carol, The Revenant, The Hateful Eight and, yes, even Star Wars has been so staggering that even my daughter, who does not use the Internet has become familiar with several of them.
Although she has not asked me if this will be Leo's year to finally win the Oscar I cannot help that it is not far off. She goes to school now and the things from popular culture that already filter down to a Kindergarten student are somewhat astounding. So while Star Wars has made its way to her the debate of film vs. digital has not.
Which again makes it even more apparent that many of these discussions and debates are just advertising and marketing and promotion and nothing of much value. The number of reviews and comments I have seen about The Revenant that say much of anything of value I can count on one hand. More has been said about the acquisition format of the films I have listed than about the qualities of the films or the actors or even whether people like them.
As someone who is interested not only in watching films but also in making them I find I am interested in these aspects but even still only up to a point. That The Hateful Eight is being presented in 70mm in some locations is less interesting than the "roadshow" aspect of these presentations. Which are not one and the same. Yes, it will look different but that the film will have an intermission, that there will be a printed program, that the filmmakers are making an active push to say, "This is why you should see this film in a movie theater and have a shared experience with your fellow human beings," is much more interesting.
Yet all anyone can say is, "boy the frame is really wide!" and "he did it for interior scenes" because "it makes the blocking really noticeable!". Which is all well and good from a technical point of view but very little is being said about whether the movie is any good. Or whether people are finding the movie-going experience to be interesting, new, rewarding, worthwhile or anything else. Very little is being said about this aspect, which is what we should all be talking about.
The same is true of The Revenant. The experience is "immersive", the bear attack is "realistic" and shooting only with natural light is "neat-o". But then all of the comments concerning the film itself are either snarky and flippant, to one writer being thankful to have made it through the film (which is clever because their experience seems to mirror that of the main character…dear lord) or just that most in general found the film to be difficult to watch and grueling. Because, of course, when you watch a film that is about one man's incredible tale of survival against all odds you expect it to be light and chipper and float on by.
Because, of course, The Revenant is not trying to offer a unique filmgoing experience with anything other than the film itself. Which is not to diminish the film, the filmmakers or what they have achieved. But you cannot help and see that although these two films, which have in a way become pitted against each other (one for resurrecting not only a forgotten acquisition format and the other for being the first to make use of a cutting-edge technology) are getting attention for parts of their productions that are perhaps not the most interesting thing about them. That they were acquired under harsh conditions using these interesting technologies maybe isn't what we should spend all of our time talking about.
The same can be said for Carol, for different reasons and even the new Star Wars. Article after article has been written and shared about the formats chosen, the reasons why and what wonderful results have been achieved. Except, of course, the results we should be focused on are the films themselves. Not excluding the lighting and the look and grain structure but absolutely not limited to these aspects either.
I am ranting now and I try not to do that with strangers so forgive me. I have been paying more attention that usual to the state of film, largely because all of us are (I believe). What I find odd is that I am not sure what is being presented (the end is nigh) reflects that actual state of things. When The Walking Dead, Carol and fifty other well known television shows and films are making use of the super 16mm format is it really dead or about to be? When Kodak announces the release of a new, hybrid super 8mm camera are we living in the end times?
I know that many filmmakers are currently being asked to weigh in on the future of film and that is why the endless articles are appearing but it would seem, and forgive me if I am wrong, that the timing of this is about two years too late. Filmmakers and studios bonded together to give Kodak a reprieve. Now, indie filmmakers who had previously embraced low budget technologies to inexpensively make their films are choosing to make their new movies shooting using actual film.
Perhaps it is healthy that this issue is near constantly mentioned. That unlike two years ago when few were speaking or reading about it and the future of this format was truly in jeopardy now people are paying attention. I do not know.
What I do know is that so much attention is being paid to how the movie was acquired or how it is viewed but so little is being said about how people like or dislike the movie.
Perhaps that is what this award season is good for, with categories for the technical achievements as well as acting, direction and things like costumes it allows us to filter and sort through these different aspects. I am not sure.
What it feels like, as does nearly everything these days, is that it is just another marketed aspect of movies. Because we don't talk about whether Carol is a better film than the new Star Wars. We don't compare them for so many different reasons. I used to think this made sense. Cliffhanger should not be pitted against Casino, they are different kinds of movies with different aspirations. Yet we lump Carol with Tangerine and Sicario because of their budgets or subject matters or who the filmmakers are behind the films and, obviously, that makes much more sense.

While the cost of doing business is increasing, Gerlach comments that institutional investors are seeking to reduce fees, often in exchange for longer lock-up periods or larger investment commitments. He also appreciates the long-term commitment and more sophisticated discussion with institutional investors.
However, the environment of quantitative easing and reduction of market volatility has challenged CTAs the last three years. But this is the environment that can favor discretionary macro managers. Rather than redeeming from CTAs for earning lower profits than equity markets, institutions are maintaining their CTA investments while diversifying their exposure with discretionary managers.
Finally, Gerlach notes that changes in the regulatory environment are causing uncertainty for both managers and investors. Dodd-Frank in the United States and the ever-evolving UCITS regulations in Europe are raising questions about what strategies are allowed in the new regime. Specifically, investors are concerned about position limits on energy, metals and agricultural commodities, and whether those trades have different tax or regulatory status than trades in financial futures. With the rise of ETFs and 40 Act funds in the United States, managers are modifying fee structures, as incentive fees are an area of concern within the 40 Act regulatory regime.
The bottom line is CTAs are getting a new-found respect after 2008 and 2009, even though outperformance in down markets has a strong historical precedent for these managers. The ability to provide liquidity in any type of market, and the willingness to offer managed accounts where investors keep the custody of their assets, are increasingly prized by investors in this (hopefully) post-crisis era. The next time someone tells you that "in a crisis, all correlations move toward one," please remind them that there is an underappreciated asset class that has historically provided value in a down market. Your friendly neighborhood managed futures manager will thank you for the referral.

Juventus' Andrea Pirlo hasn't been beaten in a Serie A game in which he has taken part of since December 18, 2010.
The summer signing from Milan last tasted League defeat 480 days ago when the Rossoneri lost 1-0 at home to Roma.
The scorer on that Saturday was Marco Borriello, now a teammate of the playmaker at the Juventus Stadium.
That Milan-Roma tie was also refereed by Antonio Damato, the same official who will take charge of tonight's Juve-Lazio encounter.
The Old Lady, unbeaten this season, haven't lost in the Italian top-flight since a 1-0 reverse at Parma on May 15, 2011.

Research Summary
Mechanics of Motor Proteins and the Cytoskeleton The Howard lab is fascinated by the question of how small molecules like proteins, lipids and nucleotides self-assemble into cells and tissues that are thousands to millions of times larger than molecular dimensions. How do the molecules know where they are, and whether the structures that they have made are the right size and shape? By combining highly sensitive techniques to visualize and manipulate individual biological molecules, with theory and modeling, the Howard lab is trying to understand the interaction rules that allow molecules to work together to form highly organized yet dynamic cellular structures.
The Howard lab is approaching these questions in the context of the microtubule cytoskeleton. They are interested in the molecular properties of motor proteins, especially how they operate as molecular machines to drive motion and regulate the growth and shrinkage of microtubules. In addition to biochemical and single-molecule approaches, they also study a number of cellular systems include mitosis, cilia and flagella, and the neuronal cytoskeleton.Specialized Terms: Motor proteins, Cytoskeleton; Microtubule dynamics; Cell motility; Mitosis; the Axoneme; Neuronal Morphology, Optical tweezers, Single-molecule biophysics
Extensive Research Description
Motor and Cytoskeletal Systems: From molecules to cells
How do cells measure length and time? How do they count? How do they sense their shape? These are some of the most important outstanding questions in cell and developmental biology. For example, how do proliferating cells know how big they are and when to stop growing and to start dividing? How do organs, such as brain and liver, ensure that they manufacture enough cells, but not too many? How do cells control the dimensions of their organelles, such as endosomes, cilia and mitotic spindles? How do cells make certain that they have exactly two copies of each chromosome, that they have just one cilium, but that dividing cells have exactly two mitotic-spindle poles?
These are difficult questions because they address "systems-level" processes whose length-scales and time-scales differ strikingly from those of the constituent molecules—the proteins, lipids and nucleic acids—that form the molecular building blocks of cells. The goal of our research is to find molecule-level answers to these systems-level questions. Just as a radio or a computer must be understood in terms of their constituent analog or digital circuits, cell and tissue morphology must be understood in terms of underlying molecular circuits. These circuits comprise networks of interacting molecules. What kinds of computations can they perform? How do they assemble? What feedback-control mechanisms operate to control the size, shape and organization of molecular assemblies? Reaction-diffusion equations have dominated our thinking about biological patterning since the seminar work of Turing in the 1950s; however, we argue that active, mechanical processes mediated by motor proteins and the cytoskeleton, may play an even more important role in morphogenesis than purely chemical mechanisms (Howard et al. 2011).
Research Approach: Quantitative experiments to test theoretical predictions
Our research focuses on the biochemistry and biophysics of the cytoskeleton, with particular emphasis on the mechanics of microtubulesand microtubule-basedmotor proteins. On the one hand, the lab is interested in how these proteins work: i.e. how do kinesins,dyneins and microtubules act as molecular machines to convert chemical energy derived from the hydrolysis of ATP or GTP into mechanical work used to power cell motility? And, on the other hand, we are interested in the roles that microtubules and their motors play in shaping and moving cells and tissues. For example, how do the dynamic properties of microtubules drive spindle and chromosome movements in mitosis, and how does dynein drive axonemal motility? What roles do microtubules and their motors play in mechanoreception in sensory cells and in shaping neurons in the brain?
Our approach is to combine measurement and theory (Howard 2014). The challenge is that the complexity of biological systems makes quantitative measurements and their interpretation exceedingly difficult. The key to circumventing these difficulties is the use of single-molecule techniques, in whose development our lab played an important role (e.g. Howard et al. 1989). Using single-molecule optical techniques, the interactions between the individual motor and cytoskeletal molecules can be characterized in vitro and in vivo. These interactions constitute a form of mechanical signaling (Howard 2009). We then use theory, primarily from statistical physics and non-linear dynamics, to predict how the individual interactions lead to the collective behavior of ensembles of molecules. We then test these predictions with quantitative in vivo experiments on intact cells.
Microtubule dynamics
Microtubules are biological polymers that alternate between periods of growth and shrinkage. This process, termed dynamic instability by its discovers Mitchison and Kirshner, is crucial for microtubule length regulation, for the exploration of intracellular space, and for cellular force generation. Despite its central role in cell biology, dynamic instability is poorly understood.
We are taking several complementary approaches to understanding dynamics..
(i) We have developed assays to study microtubule dynamics using single-molecule techniques: total-internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (Brouhard et al. 2008, and see right for motors moving along a microtubule) and optical tweezers (Bormuth et al. 2009, Jannasch et al. 2013, Trushko et al. 2013).
(ii) We have used these assays to figure out how microtubule-associated proteins (MAPs) regulate microtubule dynamics. We have shown how depolymerizing kinesins target microtubule ends and couple ATP hydrolysis to microtubule shortening (Helenius et al. 2006, Varga et a. 2006, 2009, Friel and Howard 2011); we discovered that XMAP215 is a processive polymerase (Brouhard et al. 2008, Widlund et al. 2011); and we found that the end-binding protein EB1 recognizes the nucleotide state of tubulin (Zanic et al. 2009) to increase catastrophe and to synergize with XMAP215 to increase microtubule growth rates (Zanic et al. 2013). Recently, we discovered that a yeast kinesin, Kip2, is a microtubule polymerase and has the fascinating and unexpected property that the longer the microtubule the greater is the acceleration of growth (Hibbel et al. 2015)! This is a form of positive feedback. These single-molecule studies show that we are are still scratching the surface of as far as the variety of activities kinesins and other microtubule associated proteins have on the regulation of the cytoskeleton.
(iii) Most biochemical and biophysical studies on microtubules use tubulin from mammalian brain because of the protein's abundance in this tissue. However, brain tubulin is highly heterogeneous due to many different genes as well as post-translational modifications. We are therefore using two simplified systems - budding yeast and the Chlamydomonas cilium - to study tubulin dynamics and its regulation by MAPs in order to dissect their role in controlling microtubule length.
(iii) We are using theory to gain insight into microtubule length control (Varga et al. 2009), the catastrophe switch (Gardner et al. 2011, Bowne-Anderson et al. 2013, Bowne-Anderson et al. 2015) and the collective properties of motor proteins (Leduc et al. 2012)
The motility of cilia and flagella
That the motor protein dynein drives microtubule
sliding and bending in cilia and flagella has been known since the classic experiments of Gibbons, Brokaw and Satir in the 1960s and 1970s. However, how the activity of the dyneins is coordinated to give a periodic beat remains an open. We are bringing a new constellation of techniques to the problem. In earlier work, we hypothesized that the dyneins are coordinated through a force-sensing mechanism: sliding forces provide positive feedback that switches the activity of the motors across the axis of the axoneme (the motile structure within cilia and flagella) and couples the motors along the length of the axoneme (Riedel-Kruse et al. 2007, Howard 2009). Using high-speed imaging and high-precision image analysis, we showed that our hypothesis can account very satisfactorily for the beat of mammalian sperm.
We are now using the single-celled alga Chlamydomonas Reinhardtii as a model system to study (i) the beating of isolated, reactivated axonemes, the motile structure within cilia and flagella (Sartori et al. arXiv, 2015, Geyer et al. 2016, Sartori et al. 2016), (ii) the activity of axonemal subassemblies (Mukundan et al. 2014) and individual dynein molecules purified from these axonemes (Alper et al. 2013, 2014), and (iii) the role of hydrodynamics in shaping the beat pattern (Friedrich et al. 2010) and swimming path (Geyer et al. 2013). In this way we hope to obtain a molecular understanding of one of the most elegant and enigmatic examples of cell locomotion. Oscillators are a paradigms of emergence because the system behavior obscures the contributions of the individual players. We hope to the obtain the first truly molecular and biochemical understanding of a cellular oscillator
Branching morphology of neurons
The architecture of the brain and its constituent neurons is staggeringly complex. A fundamental insight into the working of the brain was made by the Spanish anatomist Ramon y Cajal who discovered the "dynamic polarization of neurons" (Ramon y Cajal, Nobel Lecture 1906). According to this principle, neurons are polarized cells, with dendrites and axons, usually on opposite sides of the cell body, and he deduced that the flow of information is also polarized, in a way that respects cell polarity: "nervous movement [i.e. electrical activity] in these prolongations [i.e. the dendrites] is towards the cell or axon, while it is away from the cell in the axons". By studying the morphology of individual neurons and identifying the dendrites and axons, he was able to map the flow of information through the nervous system. Thus, an insight from cell biology, i.e. cell polarity, provided the key to understanding the functional anatomy of the brain. My intuition is that the cell biological principles underlying branching morphology will likewise provide key information about signaling and information processing by neurons.
Our goal is to understand the principles underlying the branching of neurons, especially dendrites. We and others have shown that the microtubule cytoskeleton play a fundamental role, not just in "feeding" neurons, but also in building them in the first place. Using highly branched mechanoreceptors in flies as a model system, we are trying to understand the tradeoffs between intracellular transport from the cell body into the dendrites, on the one hand, and the flow of information from the dendrites back to the cell body, on the other.
Other projects
We are working on several other projects in which the dynamic and structural properties of microtubules underly important cellular processes such as mitosis (Coral-Garzon et al. 2016, Reber et al. 2013, Redemann et al. 2010, Pecreaux et al. 2006, Grill et al. 2003) and mechanotransduction (Liang et al. 2014, Liang et al. 2013, Bechstedt et al. 2010, Howard and Bechstedt et al. 2004).

A number of searchers...
RE: A number of searchers...
Hello all. I'm a searcher myself and I love the chase. In the big picture this gives a lot of people something to do. IMO, that's not all bad! It's actually amazing, the scope of it. That being said, I'm taking the gloves off and I'm playing the hypocrite.
Lets discuss this. Originally I took this to be a enormous clue. I even developed a reckon based on these facts. (I was certainly convinced) The statement has come from a man who refuses to give out hints or clues relating to the "hunt", yet he reveals this information to the world.
youtube.com/c/agypsyskiss. How do you know searchers have been 200' of the treasure?
youtube-ForrestFenn at the collected works bookstore in Santa Fe 10/23/13 32:45
Someone please explain to me the point or helpfulness of coming out and saying searchers have been within 200 feet. I use to believe this was a helpful clue, but now it is an uppercut. Jab in the eye with a sharp stick. Unless Forrest tells us who when and where, this is nonsense/BS.
If I'm a searcher that has emailed Forrest my search pattern, then I have the right to believe he is talking about me...I'm , I'm , Im confused here. In the past he goes out of his way not to give out hints, but "searchers have been within 200' and a lot of people have been within 500'. That's an enormous clue if you know for certain the first two clues? Or lets say the HOB. Let's say none of them. One could spend the time on GE and find maybe a dozen? or so places that fit this criteria. No?
Point being this could possibly rush a searcher into hurrying themselves into the woods again to find chest.
Spend more money, get lost, possible die?.
Somebody tell me what this information is good for? What good? Tell me. I'm waiting. Let me help, It's good for nothing. Period! If I'm wrong, explain. I'll concede.
All that being said, I can't wait for Spring to go look again. I want that chest.
Happy Holidays

RE: A number of searchers...
@ser - You are absolutely correct. That 200 ft info is pretty much useless unless we know who FF means. I think that so many searchers ask, "Is anyone close?" that FF has to answer something positive. One minute he says that searchers email him with their locations & that's how he knows. Then the next time someone asks, he says that he can't really be sure how close.
I don't know that searchers rush to their search areas though, ser ... assuming FF is speaking about them. That would be total stupidity. I've learned to give very little credence to the statements FF makes when answering searchers questions. So many of his answers have proven to be contradictory.
RE: A number of searchers...
(04-05-2014, 08:33 PM)jcm Wrote: In a recent article at go-star.com (posted on Dal's media coverage page) ff has stated that 'a number of searchers have been within several hundred feet of the treasure', a change in how he has phrased it previously. So do you think that more searchers are getting close and landing in the correct area or is ff just mixing up how he is referencing those who have been close to the chest? And he also changed within 500 ft to several hundred ft, so do you think he might be inferring that some are figuring out more than the first 2 clues? Perhaps this statement is meaningless, but to me, subtle changes such as these by ff are like a barometer measuring general progression toward the solving of the poem and finding the treasure.
This thread is an interesting archive.
I do believe the last two times Forrest talked about people being close, he said that nobody has told him the correct clues in the correct order. It has been a while since he mentioned the 200' closeness.
RE: A number of searchers...
I've been within 10 feet, not my problem that ya'll don't believe me! I found his blaze and from there you follow the map on the cover of Once Upon A While to the star (rock) covering the treasure. Three jars of Cloves in Peg's spice drawer is a hint to the Clovis Tombs in the area. Mammoth Tusk is hint of the Mammoth Temples I found. Bigger than finding it will be proving ya'll fools once and for all for having no faith in the only one who really knows his poem and the correct solution. I've taken over 12,000 pictures of the area and basically found North America's Macho Piccho which Forrest had found from his airplane while looking for possible Indian relics and artifacts.The FeΩΩatic
RE: A number of searchers...
Within 10 feet???
Ponder me this......
You (or anyone) have the 'PERFECT' WWWH. I mean this place is so perfect that it HAS to be the WWWH that Forrest is referring to.
Give that 'PERFECT' starting point to 20 different competent searchers. Guess what you'll have in a week? You'll have 20 different 'PERFECT' solutions that lead to 20 different 'PERFECT' end points.
And with that, how can you go to any of them with 100% confidence and know it's there? YOU CAN'T.
If all of them hold just as much weight as the other 19, then you can't be 100% confident (as Forrest said you will be when you know you have the correct solution.)
Once you know, then you'll know without a doubt. And once I know, then I'll know.
And that is why your starting point CAN'T be ANYWHERE on ANY map.
It can't be a place you can put your finger on because it is WAY too subjective and open to interpretation.
But I've already said too much......
You don't get it yet.
Good luck.
RE: A number of searchers...
I think that if you truly solve it, you'll know within 10.7639 square feet where it is. Is that a hint? It is if I'm right.
RE: A number of searchers...
I think he has hinted at finding the EXACT coordinate.
Why would he have said several times to bring a GPS? Only to not get lost? Possibly.
And why would he have said you could probably retrieve it in any weather if you know precisely where it is?
How could you possibly find it (even with a metal detector) if you have your search area narrowed down to a few square acres or even a few hundred square feet. You can't possibly go 'right to the spot' with that large of an area as your final destination.
Worse yet, try doing that in the snow.
My money is placed on him wanting us to find the exact coordinate.
RE: A number of searchers...
An exact coordinate might still be quite challenging to get to in the snow. I'm imagining even if you don't need a snowmobile that it might take considerably longer to get somewhere with snow on the ground. And if you've solved it to that degree why haven't you already gotten it? Personally I don't believe someone is going to solve this from home without having gone BOTG multiple times. I think Forrest designed it that way. Wasn't that what he wanted? For us to get off the couch and go see and experience some of the things he saw growing up? Some of my best memories from my childhood are those from trips where my parents spontaneously took us on long vacations camping whenever my Dad would be laid off. It puts a smile on my face just thinking about some of those trips. My Dad always got his job back by the time we got home too.

I completely agree.
Multiple times BOTG.
And Forrest didn't say it would be just as easy in all conditions. Just that it would actually be possible.
I'm not saying I have it solved. But if someone does solve it in the winter months, why now wait until thaw? I think you'd agree it is riskier in snow. Besides, what good is a couple million dollars if you're dead or get frostbite?

Chapter 20 Crumpled~Up Paper
"Did you know that a month from today, we will be getting married?" Ginny asked Harry. They were in their flat, cuddling up on the couch, her feminine body leaning against his broad chest. She was gently tapping her fingers on the top of his hand, which was grasped with hers.
"Time flies by fast doesn't it?" He asked, watching as each one of her fingers, tapped down on his skin. "Seems like just yesterday I got back together with you, seeing little Teddy. And now here we are, sitting in our own flat, set to get married in a month."
"Have you ever wondered what would've happened if you didn't kiss me that night?" She said, looking up at him. "I've always wondered if I'd still be with Dean, and you would still be with Cho." She said.
"I haven't really thought about that. And just to clarify, Cho and I would definitely be broken up. And anyways, I've had other things to think about." He said.
"Oh yeah. Like Quidditch stats and the score of how many times Ron has made the crumpled up piece of paper into the rubbish bin." She said. "Sounds like you've had so much on your mind." She said.
"That's not all we do." He said. "We throw paper airplanes too." He said.
"Are you serious?" She said, gently slapping his arm.
"No. We actually do work; we just do that during lunch." He lied. "And let me tell you, we like lunch a lot more than we do paperwork." He said.
"I bet that's all you do Harry. Playing that game all day long, just sitting there with nothing to do." She said, guessing at what the boys did at work. "Who's winning?" She asked.
"Ron just passed me today. One last shot before boss caught us, and he made it. I get a free shot tomorrow though."
"You boys sure know how to have a good time at work." She said. "For me, work is fun, but beats the hell outta you."
"I bet." He said, playing with her fingers. "You know Hermione keeps bugging me about the tux's. Do you know when they are going to be done?" He asked.
"No idea." She said. "Maybe you should go check, since you are the guy and it is your tux." She said.
"You are taking care of the wedding things. I am just there to marry you and get drunk afterwards." He then received a light, sorry, not so light slap for Ginny.
"You are such a guy." She said, standing up and walking away towards the kitchen. Harry just lifted his hands and said;
"What do you think I am? A woman?"
"Getting close mate." Ron said, leaning back in his chair at work. They both shared the same cubicle, which was magically enlarged and sounded off from the rest of the office. The two sneaky men had put a sound of typing keys to seem like they were working all day. Those sneaky boys.
"I know. It's three weeks away." Harry said, throwing a crumpled up piece of parchment into the bin. "Eat it Ronnikins." He said, boasting about his win with the basketball type game. Harry didn't want to make Ginny feel bad, so he said he was having hard work at his job also. But truth was that he and Ron just played that all day, pretending to work as other tattletale co-workers and the boss walked by. They would just carry on as Seamus or Walters (Ravenclaw year below them) walked by.
"Bloody hell." He muttered. "How did you get so good at this game? I still can't do the backboard shot." He said, referring to the shot where you bounce it off the wall into the basket.
"Try it then." Harry said. "It's not that hard."
"Fine." Ron said, shooting the piece of paper to the wall, in which it made contact with, and fell, onto the side of the trash bin, sticking on the side. "What did I tell you?" Ron said.
"It's gravity man." Harry said. "I can't do anything about it." He smirked, as he knew that he had really charmed the basket, to make all his go in, and Ron's go out. It wasn't cheating, in Harry's eye. He just wanted a good lead before he undid the spell. He was too stubborn to admit that Ron was, in fact, a better shooter than he was.
"Mate. We're wizards. We can do anything." He said, throwing up an apple, catching it, and taking a bite.
"Yeah, you could just levitate it, which would so totally follow the rules of the game." Harry said sarcastically, turning around, and typing a few things into the document that he had been working on.
"And so would charming the basket." Ron said, throwing a piece of paper backwards, hitting the wall, and bouncing it into the basket.
"I don't know Ginny." Hermione said, holding out her nails, carefully examining the color. "This one looks good, but I really like the sparkles on this one."
"It's nail polish Hermione." Ginny said, holding up the bottle. "And my wedding is two weeks away. We can figure this out the day before or the day of." Ginny said, leaning back on the couch.
"Ahhhhhh that is where you are wrong young one." Hermione said, imitating a very wise elderly man. She turned to face criss cross to Ginny, and looked her straight in the eye. "You don't know what it's like the few days before the wedding. There's always that feeling like you are forgetting something, and the pressure of being the bride and everything is just total chaos."
"But what I am asking, is how do you know that is what is going to happen at my wedding? Maybe everything goes smoothly, and everything falls right into place." Ginny said.
"Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't." Hermione said, shrugging her shoulders. "You just have to be prepared for the worst, and we are starting at the basics. And as I was trying to say before, Fleur already has your make-up planned out. Noticeable, but just barely. Gives you a natural glow, she says. And now we are working on bridesmaid's or in my case, the maid of honors, nail color." She said.
"But." Ginny said, trying to argue, once again. What could I say? She's Ginny.
"No buts Ginny. We have to get this done and over with if you want this to be a lifelong experience."
"Fine." Ginny said. "I like the sparkly one." Ginny muttered grumpily. Hermione just rolled her eyes, and looked down at her nails. With a flick of a wand, both of Hermione's hands were freed of polish, and all of the other bottles, were sent back to Hermione's bathroom cabinet. Ron didn't have a cabinet, he had a basket. She turned her entire body towards Ginny and placed her folded hands in her lap.
"Ginny." She said. "I know weddings might not be your thing. They aren't mine either. But something that you have to learn how to do, is accept things that are given to you, no matter how much you don't want to do them."
"But Hermi….."
"No but's Ginny." She said, silencing Ginny. "You have to live with it. Do you want to marry Harry?" She asked.
"Yes but…"
"One word answers." Hermione said. "Do you want to be with him forever?" She asked, pushing down Ginny's finger when it rose up as she attempted to make a point.
"Yes." She said.
"There ya go." She said. "Now I am due to meet Ron and Harry at the robes shop." She said, standing up. "Thanks for arguing with me." She said, smiling as she walked out the door
"Hi boys." Hermione said, walking into Madam Turkin's robe shop. Making special occasion robes since 9,000 BC.
"Hey Hermione." Harry said, slumping in his chair. Both boys did not like doing this, but Ron had no use of being there. It was Ron, no sense of style or patience whatsoever.
"Hey beautiful." He whispered in her ear, and kissing her cheek. "Have fun with Harry." He said, leaving before Hermione could say a word. She just stood there, rolled her eyes, and walked over to Harry. Who looked like he didn't want to be there at all, like Ginny had with the nail polish extravaganza.
"No wonder why you and Ginny are getting married." She said, setting down her water bottle that she had been holding. "You two are both so stubborn."
"Am not." He said, in the school boyish way.
"I am not getting into this argument." She said, turning around. "Now stand up, and let me call Davís." She said, using a French accent on his name. French wizards were known for their robes, what could she say?
"Hermione darling." He said, kissing her on both cheeks. "What can I get you today?" He said.
"I have a friend getting married in two weeks, and we were called in saying that his robes were ready. We just need those last minute tweaks." She said, looking at Harry, who looked like he wanted to die to get away from the torture.
"Ahh. Last minute perfections are my perfection." He said, laughing at his own joke. "Now what is this handsome young man doing in my shop today for? Oh yes you already told me, the robes." He said, doddling off to the back room.
"Hermione. You know I love you. You're like my sister, about to become one in two weeks. Now, since you are almost my sister. Can you do your sisterly ways and get me out of here?" He asked.
"I thought you liked weddings?" Hermione asked, sort of joking.
"I want to get married to her, I love her. Just I don't like the preparations." He said, slumping his body onto one side.
"It'll be worth it in the end. Trust me." She said.
"I sure hope so…." He muttered, as Davís came over, and started working his magic (no pun intended) on Harry dress robes.
"That wasn't that bad was it?" Hermione asked, as she and Harry strode down Hogsmeade's run down cobblestone.
"No." He admitted. "But now, all that's left is the writing of the vows, which I am not doing, and the actual reception." He said.
"You aren't what?" Hermione asked.
"I'm saying them right then and there. So it won't all be pre-written, with ideas from you or Ron. It'll be from the heart, and that's kinda the whole point anyway." He said, walking with his hands in his jeans pockets.
"Wow Harry." She said. "So heartfelt." She said sarcastically, holding her hand over her heart.
"Yeah I know." He smirked, as the two friends walked through the village, walking towards the alley in which they would apparate back to their own house, back to their loving partners.
"You are such a cheater!" Ginny said, slapping Harry's arm playfully. Ron had just finished telling the story of how Harry had cheated in the basket game, and Ron had originally known from the getaway.
"So is he really that good?" Hermione asked. They were all eating their weekly end-of-week dinner. It was now, a week before the wedding. Time was just flying by.
"Yeah he is." Harry said. "As much as I hate to admit it. But he let me keep the points I earned, and I'm still two points ahead." He said.
"Now how many did Ron have when you cheated?" Ginny asked.
"Sixty five I think." Harry said.
"How many did you have?" Hermione asked him, cornering him in a way. Now only if Ron would get in, and become the superman of the conversation; saving Harry from the wrath of two women
"A hundred and two." Harry said.
"Now how many are you up by now?" They both asked in unison.
"Two…." Harry said shamefully. Both the girls clapped and Ron just looked like he had won the lottery.
"See? This is what I call 'Revenge.'" Ron said.
"And this is what I call, humiliation." Harry said, leaning down on his hand, making his cheek go up. He then continued to be avenged for his cheating against Ron, in the paper shooting wastebasket game.

Porsche is partnering with Vector Martini Racing (VMR), a powerboat racing specialist and leading global marine performance brand.
The partnership will see the world's largest manufacturer of sports cars provide top of the range transport vehicles for the Vector event calendar as well as have involvement in the team's unique iRace programmes.
Launched in May 2014, the Vector Martini Race Team won overall at the prestigious annual Cowes Classic Offshore Powerboat Race last year, where the team also picked up an impressive seven trophies over the weekend. These included The Beaverbrook Trophy (overall winner), The Mellery-Pratt Challenge Trophy, The Cougar Trophy and The Waynefleet Challenge Trophy. The Team will be returning to Cowes on September 5/6 to defend their Cowes Classic Offshore Title, as well as prepare for a Cross Channel World Record attempt later this month.
The Vector iRace programme allows special guests the opportunity to safely experience speeds of up to 100 mph (approximately 86 knots) on the open water in a controlled environment. Vector is the only team in the world currently able to offer such a programme, nicknamed the iRace 100 Club.
Malcolm Crease, CEO of Vector World, said: "Porsche and VMR share the same attributes around technical performance and engineering excellence. We are proud and privileged to be working with such an established and iconic brand as Porsche and we look forward to benefiting in many ways from direct access to its market-leading expertise."
Felix Bräutigam, Vice President Region Europe, Porsche AG Germany, commented: "Our customers are used to driving their Porsche at high speeds on a race track, but doing this in a Vector boat on water is a thrilling new experience for them. On the one hand, these money-can't-buy activities are a great supplement to our own event portfolio. On the other they allow us to introduce our product range to a new but like-minded clientele."

Herbert Smith has concluded its redundancy consultation with all those due to leave the firm opting for voluntary redundancy.
In April the firm revealed plans to cut 84 positions from its London practice while also freezing salaries at the 2008-09 levels (20 April).
In a statement released today Herbert Smith said it had received "sufficient voluntary redundancy applications and requests for alternative working arrangements to achieve the required number of reductions" without having to make compulsory redundancies.
New positions will be created for those seeking alternative working arrangements, the firm added.

The council has said 'no decision' has been made yet on the future of a village day centre but it must become more 'cost effective'.
Henfield Day Centre in Hewitts, just off High Street, has been placed under review by West Sussex County Council (WSCC) and could face closure due to financial restraints and a drop in demand.
Local resident Rosemary French, 67, is a full time carer for her husband who suffers from Alzheimer's, and uses the centre twice a week for a bit of respite and to catch up on everyday chores.
But, after learning that the centre would be placed under review, she said the loss of a centre would dramatically affect her 'wellbeing and ability to carry on as his sole carer'.
The county council that funds the centre, said that in the event of a closure it would 'find alternatives for the customers'.
A spokesman for WSCC said: "We are consulting on how day services will be provided at Henfield in the future and no decision has been made.
"This is all being carried out in consultation with customers and their families and should the decision be taken to close the building we will look to find alternatives for the customers.
"Another option is to look to find another organisation to run the service from the Henfield Day Centre.
"The point is the service has to be delivered in a more cost effective manner."
A public consultation meeting on the service took place on Monday, April 28.

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. - A man is in stable condition at a hospital in Canada after plunging at least 180 feet over Niagara Falls in an apparent suicide attempt.
The man is only the third person known to have lived after going over the falls without a safety device.
Witnesses have told police they saw the man climb over a railing at the Horseshoe Falls just before 10:30 a.m. Monday and jump into the Niagara River. He surfaced in the river near an observation platform and made it to shore on his own.
Rescuers who were lowered to reach him have said he appeared to have chest injuries, including broken ribs and a collapsed lung. He was airlifted to Hamilton General Hospital, where a spokeswoman says he was in stable condition Tuesday morning.

Project aim
On the eve of his wife's funeral Colin Watts was burgled. Funeral money was stolen along with his wife's wedding ring and other possessions. My aim is to try and recoup that money in an effort to help Colin financially and hopefully it will go some way towards raising his spirits.
About the project
The following story appeared on the Argus website yesterday and in the paper today:
My first thought was where can we donate? After finding out that we couldn't I decided to set up this page in an effort to help. I spoke to Colin this morning after The Argus passed on my details and he is touched that we have decided to do this for him. Although the sentimental items cannot be replaced, let's see if we can recoup the £800 that was stolen from him.

Skip to comments.Henry Rollins' Letter to a Young American
Posted on 04/27/2012 6:46:42 AM PDT by Daffynition
Henry Rollins: Young person, youll find in your life that sometimes your great ambitions will be momentarily stymied, thwarted, marginalized by those who were perhaps luckier, come from money, where more doors opened, where college was a given--it was not a student loan; it was something that Dad paid for--to where an ease and confidence in life was almost a birthright, where for you it was a very hard climb. Okay, that happens all the time. Some of the greatest Americans, some of the greatest thinkers, artists, architects, politicians and other movers, shakers and creators all over the world have come from very meager beginnings like my favorite American Abraham Lincoln. And so, just because you come from nothing you must not let that be something that holds you back.
And you will encounter people who never have to pay in full. They get to wreck the room and never have to clean it. They can get all the way through high school and never understand where a dollar comes from because they just get it given to them. I went to school with guys like that. Youve had presidents like that. Youve had friends like that and youve suffered.
(Excerpt) Read more at bigthink.com ...
I look at this as a production aimed at the OWSers delivered by Anthony Bourdain.
>> Your president right now is a man who got where he is through very hard work and scholarships, mainly hard work and application and discipline.
Um, Obama?!?!?
Rollins wrote what should have been Obama's Theme Song:
You think you're going to live your life alone
in darkness and seclusion... yeah, I know
you've been out there and tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion
so you stagger back home and wait for nothing
but the solitary refinement of your
room spits you back onto the streets
and now you're desperate and in need of human contact
and then you meet me and yur whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear
so you drop all you defenses, I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerfull inside
you feel so lucky
but your ego obscures reality that you never bothered to
wonder why things are going so well
you want to know why?
'cause I'm a liar, yeah, I'm a liar
I'll tear (rip) your mind up, I'll burn your soul
I'll turn you into me, I'll turn you into me
'cause I'm a liar, a liar, a liar, a liar...
I'll hide behind a smile and understanding eyes
and I'll tell you things that you already know so you can say:
I really identify with you, so much
and all the time that you're needing me is just the time
that I'm bleeding you, don't you get it yet?
I'll come to you like an affliction
then I'll leave you like an addiction
you'll never forget me... wou wanna know why?
I don't know why I feel the need to lie and cause you so much pain
maybe it's something inside, maybe it's something I can't explain
'cause all I do is mess you up and lie to you
I'm a liar, ooh, I'm a liar
but if you'll give me another chance
I swear I'll never lie to you again
'cause now I see the destructive power of a lie,
they're stronger than truth
I ca't believe I ever hurt you, I swear I will never lie to you again
please, just give me more chance, I'll never lie to you again, no,
I swear, I will never tell a lie, I will neer tell a lie, no, no
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Sucker! Sucker! Sucker!
I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar, yeah, I am a liar
I lie you, I feel good, I am a liar, yeah
I lie X4 ooh, I lie, yeah, I lie
I'm a liar, I lie, I like it, I feel good, I like it, and again
I like it again and I'll keep lying, I'll promise
Thats a great video.
And his "godfather" for VP
Obligatory ping.
Hmmmmm...I'm wondering about the *convenient* timing of the popularity of this video. Must be a coincidence. Yeah, that's it.
I disagree with Rollins' politics (BIGTIME) but the man is very intelligent otherwise.
I saw him with Black Flag back around 1985. Wow, what a show.
Have you seen the movie "SUCK"?
He's in it along with Alice and Iggy.
Henry's got a really funny "bit" part.
I used to like them and you are right -- they were good then. Its funny though. I had a friend who was friends with Rollins around that time and so I met him a couple times. He was quiet, respectful and into poetry (at least the couple of times I saw him). Nothing like I thought he'd be. As for his politics -- "shut up and sing" comes to mind.
No, but now of course I will have to!
Oh, you are just going to *love* it to death.
A little something to whet your appetite.
>>And you will encounter people who never have to pay in full. They get to wreck the room and never have to clean it.
Kinda like what you did to Black Flag?
As an old school punk (1976 Los Angeles) myself, I never liked the preachy, anarcho-leftists (Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag) and had no trouble giving them hell, right to their lying faces. At 16 years old in '76 I already hated the hippies and yippies and when Reagan came along at just the right moment I wanted to die on the Russian Front while mowing down commies. Most of the punks from those places are dead or dying, and to give him some credit Rollins kept himself together physically, but watching him come on like a professor of poetry is grotesque.
Obama is a "LIAR!"
An awesome tune back in the day

Olympique Lyonnais Coach Remi Garde has denied rumours that striker Lisandro Lopez will join Fiorentina in January.
The Argentine forward has been heavily linked with a move to the Viola during the winter transfer window, but the 46-year-old tactician has quashed those reports, confirming that the Ligue 1 side's top goalscorer last season will be staying at Les Gones.
"For now we do not think he will move in January," Garde told a Press conference today. "Our priority at the moment is to seek continuity and balance. I do not think he will leave Lyon at the moment.
"I am not aware of any concrete bids, despite what the newspapers say.
"I am not surprised though that he is being watched by other European clubs. He is a great striker."

This year's shirts highlight Artomobilia branding details throughout, key event sponsors, and the original painting of the commissioned program and poster artwork of the 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 by Marijan Pecar.
The Committee shirts and Event shirts differ only in the color of the thread used to embroider sponsors logos on the sleeves. Event shirts feature a "less-shouty" tone-on-tone thread for the sponsor logos displayed on each sleeve.
In addition, we've created a collection of cheap and cheerful t-shirts that are sure to delight. Enjoy an every growing collection of designs in several styles for both men and women. Check-out the Artomobilia Store at TeePublic.

Each year, we try new things that add "texture" to the Artomobilia and highlight many of the assets of the Carmel and automotive hobby. This year, we will feature a variety of artists, including musicians, painters and photographers, on the streets of the Arts & Design District. Here are some of highlights that you'll see.
Legendary, award-winning builder, Troy Trepanier, and his shop "Rad Rides by Troy" will join the Artomobilia Team as the Class Steward judging our RestoMod Class for 2017. In addition to displaying some of his most amazing cars, Troy and team will provide an informal assessment and insight to each of the entrants in this special class. See more...
Plein-Air Paint-out. Artomobilia and the Hoosier Salon partnered to feature a plein-air paint-out and invited a collection of Indiana arts to paint in and around the cars of the Artomobilia. The work of Wyatt LeGrand was selected for our annual commissioned painting to be used on our poster and program cover. See more...

Steelers TE Miller inching toward return
PITTSBURGH — Heath Miller, yet to practice with the Pittsburgh Steelers, took the next step in the rehabilitation process after right knee surgery some eight months ago when he was taken off the physically unable to perform list.
The nine-year veteran tight end, who tore three ligaments in his right knee against Cincinnati last December, called the move a step in the right direction. He remains vague about a possible return date: The Steelers open the season hosting Tennessee on Sunday.

Young has operated Cryptome since 1996, creating a large repository of obscure or previously unpublished files focussing on intelligence and internet policy. Much of it is available on DVD, sold through a PayPal account.
Cryptome has recently published secret company guidelines for law enforcement liaison policy from a number of well known internet companies including Microsoft, Facebook, Skype, AOL, domain name monopoly Network Solutions, and PayPal itself, which is owned by eBay. On February 25 the site was taken offline in response to a DMCA request by Microsoft.
PayPal hadn't offered an with an explanation at press time, but we'll update this as soon as they do. ®
