dang skin tones. i do those there self portraits of the day, like Mr. Jone's does. I've done over 100 black and white ones and I'm quite sure I want to do color every day now. But, mixing skin tones is so freaking hard.
I was thinkin of lookin at different masters paintings, takin them into photoshop, and lookin at the different colors in the skin tones of their portraits. I dunno if that will help a lot though. I was also thinkin of maybe just tryin to look at a color they mixed and then just try to mix it myself. I don't like copying other peoples work much, though. :-\
I'm also going to be workin through "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green," but that moreso applies to just mixing colors. I need to learn to SEE the colors in the skin better.
Maybe I should get one of those true white lights... it couldn't hurt, right?

My car has 132k on it and originally had 3 options for ride control: plush, normal and firm (or stiff). Now I only see 2 options: Normal and Plush so what is going on with it and how can I get the firm setting back? The system "appears" to be in good working order and the car rides very nice. I can hear the air pump running from time to time as well.
have the same problem?

After our stay in Balloch at Loch Lomond we headed to Edinburgh, but on the way we added a couple of hours in Stirling. After all the time we spent in the nature of the Highlands, coming to Stirling felt coming back to the world of mankind. It was a bit of a culture shock, because I really wasn't used to the presence of a larger amount of people - and Stirling isn't even that big!
Stirling's most famous sight is Stirling Castle. Throughout the centuries, this castle was one of the most important political locations in Scotland and home to many of its kings and queens. Mary, Queen of Scots, was born and crowned here when she was only six days old and during the Jacobite Uprising Bonnie Prince Charlie tried to take control of the castle to benefit of its strategic importance, but failed to do so. Stirling Castle is an impressive relict of Scotland's cultural heritage and visiting helped me learn more about the country and its rich history.
One more piece of practical advice: The entry fee to Stirling Castle (as with all the other big Scottish Castles) is pretty high and while I recommend visiting nonetheless, it is worth looking into purchasing one of the Combination Tickets if you're planning to visit another castle (most notably Edinburgh Castle and Urquhart Castle) in the near future.
The castle is located on top of a hill with views over all of Stirling. If there was an army coming, they could see it miles ahead.
This is a reconstruction of the Great Hall. While most of the buildings are still in their original state, the Great Hall was rebuilt. I can barely imagine that there was a time when all the building were in this color! It's something that I often forget to realize when I visit old monuments: Time does a lot to construction material and the way something appears today doesn't necessarily have to be the way it appeared a couple of hundred years ago. I wonder what some of our iconic modern building will look like in a century's time!
The difference is quite staggering, isn't it?
What is the most impressive castle you have ever visited? And if you have never been: Which castle would you like to visit one day?

A Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training was held Oct. 16, 18, 20 and 21 at the PRISM Fire Training Center in Kenai.
Fourteen citizens from the Kenai, Soldotna and Sterling areas and numerous emergency response personnel participated, including Sam Satathite, Abe Porter Capt. Eric Wilcox, John Harris and Chris Cushman with the Kenai Fire Department; Mitch Langseth with the Kenai Police Department; Keith Randall, chaplain with Central Emergency Services; Cory Lehl with the Nikiski Fire Department; Deputy Cadet Commander John Bittle with the Civil Air Patrol, and cadets Jewell Briggs, Pat Peters, Jesse Cobb, Paul Adams, Jenna French, Cole Chase, Carolyn Knackstedt and Eric Cole; and Glenda Landua, Citizen Corps program coordinator.
This particular class was organized from a waiting list of interested people. The list was generated from health and safety fairs as well as through program presentations to community organizations. Prior classes have been organized through local community schools programs (Soldotna, Homer and Seward) and advertised in the paper and on the radio.
The CERT program is a partnership between first responders and the communities they serve. CERT training prepares people to take care of themselves and others in the event of a disaster.
The Kenai Peninsula Borough encompasses over 25,000 square miles of varied landscape and weather patterns. Flooding, hurricane-force winds, extreme cold, avalanches, volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis are a few of the hazards in our area that can have a drastic impact. If the event is serious enough, emergency response resources, communications, transportation and utilities may all be disrupted. In a large-scale event, such as a major earthquake, it's conceivable that communities will be temporarily cut off from each other, outside support and emergency services and supplies.
CERT training is intended to train people to care for themselves and work as a team to care for their neighborhood, school, business or surrounding community until help arrives.
The CERT training that just concluded included sessions on:
· Disaster preparedness information about local hazards and steps that people can take to prepare their family, home and workplace.
· Fire suppression basics about fire behavior, fire suppression techniques and personal and team safety.
· Emergency first aid and triage basic assessment and emergency first aid skills to help in situations with many casualties and life-threatening injuries.
· Team organization: familiarization with basic incident command system structure and team organization skills to quickly organize teams to provide the most help for the most people.
· Disaster psychology information about the emotional environment rescuers will encounter and steps that can be taken to relieve stress for themselves and those of disaster survivors.
· Terrorism and CERT the definition of terrorism and what type of targets and risks there may be in our area, types of weapons, risks, CERT protocols and protective actions.
· Disaster drill a simulated disaster, which provided an opportunity for class participants to exercise their skills.
CERT training is offered through the Kenai Peninsula Citizen Corps Program in the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management. It is a grant-funded program, which works with emergency response organizations to provide emergency preparedness information and training to borough residents. The training is ability oriented, which means everyone no matter their age or physical ability are encouraged to attend. CERT training is ideal for neighborhoods, schools, clubs and organizations, faith communities, amateur radio operators and businesses in short, any group of people who live or work near each other or are together on a regular basis. Disasters, after all, aren't confined to work days, evenings, weekends or any other schedule.
For more information about CERT training or to sign up for future classes, call or e-mail Glenda Landua at 262-2098 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

So I tried to find Tom Clancy's The Division through Instant Search. It didn't work as good as I expected.
Searching for
division or
the division returns anything but the game I was looking for. At the same time
thedivision query returns the right game and only it, but it's not the way people would normally search for it
I partially agree with you on this point. When I entered division or the division string then instant search searched on short description as well. The word division appeared on a couple of game's description thus it returned unexpected results. But if you search for "the division" string it works perfectly. It returns the expected value.

The Accidental PilgrimJackie Rowe, via The Good Book Stall
Maggi Dawn's book is full of memorable moments in her exploration of pilgrimage. She begins by describing her experiences on a study tour to Israel when she was a student. At first her view of the groups of pilgrims rushing from one 'holy place' to another was a cynical one. She had set out on the expedition feeling clear that she was not going to waste her time on ancient superstitions and relics that had nothing to do with reality. But by the end of the visit she had found herself drawn into something more profound than a study trip. She had not set out on a pilgrimage but had become an 'accidental pilgrim'.
The rest of the book is an unfolding of Maggi's own journey of discovery of what it means to be a pilgrim. She writes, movingly, of a brief visit to Lindisfarne: 'And here, cut off by the tide, small squabbles of church order and theological correctness were restored to their proper place. My own sense of place in the world was restored: not too important, yet not insignificant either.' Her circumstances change and other journeys have to take place with her child in a pushchair and later still, when illness strikes, the pilgrimage is an internal one. Maggi's honest and compelling writing about her own pilgrimage has encouraged me to persevere with mine.

Celebs cheer wheelchair, senior citizens' marathonJanuary 15th, 2012 - 10:48 am ICT by IANS
Mumbai, Jan 15 (IANS) Bollywood actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Shabana Azmi cheered to support the physically challenged participants and senior citizens as the Wheelchair Event and the Senior Citizens' Run was flagged off here Sunday during the ninth edition of Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon 2012.
As many as 1,800 people participated in the Senior Citizens' Run and 200 in the Wheelchair Event which started from the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) in south Mumbai and will culminate after covering a distance of 4.3 km near Metro Cinema.
Twenty five differently-abled students of the School for the Education of the Crippled (SEC) caught attention of many as they participated in the Wheelchair Event despite various physical disabilities including cerebral palsy and congenital defects.
Aged between 12 and 15 years, the students were accompanied by alumni and staff members to raise awareness about the treatment of the physically challenged in the city.
Actors Anil Kapoor and Gulshan Grover were all cheers for the participants of the Senior Citizens' Run. Tina Ambani, who promotes the cause of better lifestyle for senior citizens through her magazine Harmony, also cheered for the elderly.

Originally posted on Fox Sports North | Last updated 9/29/12
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. The Minnesota Vikings challenged themselves prior to last week's game against the San Francisco 49ers and came through with the biggest win for the team since the team made it to the NFC Championship game in 2010.Now, the Vikings' challenge is coping with handling success and continuing the momentum gained from last week's win."Talked about that, for sure, and what we have to get done, how important this week was from a preparation standpoint and how we needed to prepare so now we have to go out and play well," coach Leslie Frazier said about talking with his team about handling success.Minnesota (2-1) has a chance to build on last week's performance as it heads to Detroit this weekend to face the 1-2 Lions on Sunday. Here are five things to watch as the Vikings play their first game within their division this week: 1. Can Minnesota end its NFC North slide?It's been a long time since the Vikings enjoyed any success in their own division. In fact, the last NFC North win was at home against Detroit in Week 3 of 2010, a span of 11 games. It's the second-longest current streak in the NFL. Only the Cleveland Browns, who got an early jump on Minnesota by losing to Baltimore on Thursday night, has gone winless in their own division longer with a as 12-game losing streak. The Vikings were swept within the division last year and were 0-5 in 2010 following the win against the Lions. The last road win in the NFC North for Minnesota was in 2009 on the road against the Green Bay Packers.Quarterback Christian Ponder was well aware of the streak. Running back Adrian Peterson said he didn't know, but now that he does he wants to end it. Coach Leslie Frazier has talked about the importance of winning games in the division, and the two-game swing that goes along with it. Sunday will be the Vikings last chance for an NFC North win for a while too, as their next division game isn't until Week 10 at home against the Lions. Five of the final seven games this season are in the NFC North. 2. Can Minnesota protect Ponder?Like the Vikings, Detroit's defense starts with its front four. The Lions rely on defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and defensive ends Kyle Vanden Bosch and Cliff Avril to stop the run and rush the passer. The fourth starter on the line, Corey Williams, had knee surgery Tuesday and will miss Sunday's game. He'll be replaced by Sammie Hill and Nick Fairley. The defensive line was responsible for all seven of Detroit's sacks in the first two games. But last week's loss to the Tennessee Titans was a different story. The Lions had no sacks and only one quarterback hit while Tennessee quarterback Jake Locker threw the ball 42 times. Meanwhile, going up against San Francisco's defense with pass rushers like Justin Smith and Aldon Smith, Ponder wasn't sacked behind Minnesota's remade offensive line. If Ponder has time to throw Sunday, he very well could continue his strong play and post another 100-plus quarterback rating and 70 percent-plus completion rate. 3. Is Chris Cook up to the task of covering Calvin Johnson?Cook, the Vikings' 6-foot-2 cornerback, says he relishes the chance to go up against Detroit's 6-foot-5 receiver Calvin Johnson, the league's toughest receiver to cover. Each had their share of highlights in last year's first game between the two teams when Cook was in the lineup, but Johnson had the last laugh with two touchdowns in a comeback win by the Lions. Perhaps Cook's best game in the NFL was last year when he drew the primary assignment of guarding Johnson and rose to the occasion. He will need to do the same this week. Johnson is third in the league with 24 catches and has a league-high 396 yards receiving.This is what Cook was drafted for when he was the team's top pick in the 2010 draft. Cook has had a solid start to the season, aside from when Jacksonville's Cecil Shorts got behind Cook and made a big 39-yard touchdown catch in the final minute of regulation in the season opener, but Cook was also supposed to have help on the play as well. Cook will need help against Johnson at times, but if he can slow down Detroit's best receiver, it will be a big step in a possible Vikings' win. 4. What impact does Jerome Simpson have in his first regular-season game with Minnesota?Everyone has been eager to see Jerome Simpson back in a Vikings' uniform after his three-game suspension to start the season. Simpson was signed in the offseason to be a speed threat that can challenge defenses down the field, something Minnesota has done very little of the first three weeks. Simpson has the speed and athletic ability to make defenses pay if they choose to commit too many players in stopping Peterson, receiver Percy Harvin or tight end Kyle Rudolph.Simpson is coming off his best season in the NFL last year with the Cincinnati Bengals when he averaged 14.5 yards-per-catch, with 50 catches for 725 yards. Everyone, especially Simpson, has been eager to get him back in the lineup and add another element to the Vikings' now versatile offense. Ponder and Simpson seemed to develop a rapport quickly in minicamp and they are hoping to do the same now that Simpson has been practicing for the first time in three weeks. 5. How healthy is Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford?Detroit was playing coy with Stafford's availability early in the week after he left last week's game with an injury and backup Shaun Hill came in and threw for two touchdowns while bringing the Lions from behind to put the game in overtime. Stafford and coach Jim Schwartz avoided saying how Stafford was feeling or if he would be ready for Sunday, and Frazier said they would be preparing for Stafford and Hill.Stafford then missed Wednesday's practice and was listed with a hip injury after reports had initially said he was dealing with a hamstring injury. But as the week progressed, Stafford practiced more and appears ready to go for Sunday. He was limited in Thursday's practice and was a full participant on Friday, drawing a probable designation for Sunday. Hill has proven to be a competent backup, but Stafford is coming off a breakthrough season with over 5,000 yards passing and 41 touchdowns in leading Detroit to the playoffs last year. The Lions own the league's top passing attack this year, though Stafford's been a bit inconsistent through three games. He will play Sunday, but how much will the leg issue be bothering him and will that allow Minnesota and it's potent front four the chance to pressure Stafford. Follow Brian Hall on Twitter.

When Manchester United demolished Liverpool back on Easter Sunday, many pronounced the Premier League race as good as over. But following today's pulsating 2-2 draw at Middlesbrough things don't look so simple. Arsenal may have run out of steam in the February mud but Chelsea have kept chugging along, rarely as impressively as they did under Jose Mourinho admittedly, but still well enough close the gap.
Avram Grant's side are now just three points behind United, who they still have to play at Stamford Bridge. Before then, United must face Arsenal and make a tricky looking trip to Blackburn too. And while Chelsea have tough away matches at Everton and Newcastle it seems only right to ask: is the title race back on?
Run-in: Manchester United: Arsenal (h), Blackburn (a), Chelsea (a), West Ham (h), Wigan (a); Chelsea: Wigan (h), Everton (a), Man Utd (h), Newcastle (a), Bolton (h); Arsenal: Man Utd (a), Reading (h), Derby (a), Everton (h), Sunderland (a)
Latest odds: 1-3 Manchester United, 11-4 Chelsea, 25-1 Arsenal, 999-1 Liverpool

Federal Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains announced a $1.7-million contract for an advanced visioning system for the International Space Station this morning at the Canadian Space Agency in St-Hubert, Que.
The system will be designed by Ottawa's Neptec Design Group Ltd.
The microwave-oven sized system will employ a 3D laser, a high-definition camera and an infrared camera, and be mounted on Dextre, the CSA-designed and built robot arm.
The device will be used to inspect the space station for damage caused by small meteorites and space debris and will reduce the need for spacewalks by ISS astronauts.
"Investing in the optical technology for space will also give Canadians an edge here on earth," Bains said. "The technology also has applications in mining, undersea oil and gas infrastructure, and self-driving vehicles."
Bains was joined by astronaut Jeremy Hansen and CSA president Sylvain Laporte for the announcement Thursday.

What does image worship mean?
Definitions for image worship
Here are all the possible meanings and translations of the word image worship.
Image worship
Image worship is the practice of venerating images or idols representing divine figures. Common in a number of ancient religions, the practice continues most prominently today in Hinduism. The Abrahamic religions, on the other hand, specifically ban image worship, which they describe as idolatry.
The Nuttall Encyclopedia
Image Worship
in the Christian Church is reverence, as distinct from the supreme adoration of the Deity, paid to the crucifix and to pictures, images, or statues of saints and martyrs, and understood really as offered through these to the personages whom they represent. The practice, unknown in apostolic or sub-apostolic times, was prevalent in the 4th century, provoked by its excesses a severe reaction in the 8th century, but carefully defined by the second Council of Nice (787), has continued since both in the Greek and Roman communion; there is still controversy as to its propriety in the Anglican Church; the Lutherans still use the crucifix freely, but other Protestant Churches have entirely repudiated the practice. See Iconoclasts.

WSFS celebrates 75 years in 2016
2016 will be the 75th anniversary year of the Western States Folklore Society. We are planning to hold our annual conference at University of California, Berkeley on 8-9 April 2016. Please put these dates on your calendar and check back here as plans develop. We hope to see you there. Click on the 2016 Meeting button for details.
WSFS has a new business manager and a new treasurer
Effective September 1, 2015, Elliott Oring, retired as the Society's Business Manager, an appointive position he held for over 15 years. At the April, 2015 meeting, the Board and membership approved the appointment of Paul Jordan-Smith to take his place as Managing Editor. To effect the change, Paul resigned as Treasurer, turning it over to Erik Aasland.
Elliott's managership was particularly productive for the Society, and he will be missed in that role. However, he will undoubtedly retain his equally much-needed roles as scholar and gadfly at the Society's annual meetings.
Call for papers: Western Folklore
For its upcoming 75th year of publication, Western Folklore: The Journal of the Western States Folklore Society is issuing a call for papers and reviews dealing with folklore in a historical context. Research papers could be focused on particular historical topics, events, trends, persons, schools of thought, and so on, in folklore studies. For this special issue, we are particularly interested in papers dealing with the last 75 years, but writers are encouraged to submit all papers dealing with "Folklore in a Historical Context." We also welcome suggestions for books on historical topics to review in this issue. The deadline for submissions is October 15, 2015, and the publication date is anticipated for Fall of 2016. Papers should be between 6,000 to 9,000 words in length. For further details, please refer to the submission guidelines at www.westernfolklore.org/Submissions.html. For further queries, please email the editor Tok Thompson directly at email@example.com.
Two students awarded travel stipends at 2015 Annual Meeting
The WSFS awards three student travel stipends of $150 each to students coming to the conference to deliver a paper. At this year's meeting, only two students—Magen Olsen and Lee Olsen (unrelated)—applied; each won the award.
Membership benefit: JSTOR access to folklore journals
All members of the WSFS will be able to get access to the JSTOR archive of the back issues of Western Folklore and other folklore journals for a payment of $15/year. Visit the News page for details and a link to the AFS page for subscribing to JSTOR.

Issue Date: October 25, 2007
Effective Date: October 25, 2007
Expiration Date: October 25, 2008
Note: This bulletin updates Bulletin No.07-27 to include coding instructions for development letters sent to NIOSH as well as coding the response received from NIOSH.
Subject: Supplemental Guidance on Processing Cases Affected by OCAS-PER-012, entitled "Evaluation of Highly Insoluble Plutonium Compounds."
Background: Bulletin 07-27 outlines the process of processing cases affected by OCAS-PER-012, entitled "Evaluation of Highly Insoluble Plutonium Compounds." After the issuance of Bulletin 07-27, the need for ECMS codes to track development letters sent to NIOSH, and their response, was identified. This bulletin provides the codes associated with sending letters to the PHAs at NIOSH inquiring as to the applicability of OCAS-PER-012, as well as coding the response received from NIOSH.
References: NIOSH document, OCAS-PEP-012 Rev-00, "Program Evaluation Plan: Evaluation of Highly Insoluble Plutonium Compounds," approved on March 29, 2007, viewed at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/ocas/pdfs/peps/oc-pep12-r0.pdf; OCAS-PER-012, "Evaluation of Highly Insoluble Plutonium Compounds."
Purpose: To provide procedures for processing claims with a final decision to deny that may be affected by NIOSH's OCAS-PER-012, including ECMS coding instructions.
Applicability: All staff.
1. Action item 5 in EEOICPA Bulletin 07-27 discusses a separate list of cases being provided that are not on the NIOSH list of cases requiring reopening, but appear to be affected by OCAS-PER-012. The responsible CE should review each case on the list and confirm that the case meets the parameters for the PER, i.e. Super S site, POC <50%, DR signed prior to February 6, 2007. Once all three parameters are determined to have been met, the CE sends a letter to the PHA assigned to the district office at NIOSH inquiring as to the applicability of OCAS-PER-012 (see Attachment 4 in EEOICPA Bulletin 07-27). At that time, the CE enters the code LNS (Letter sent to NIOSH) into the claim status history in ECMS. The claims status date of the code is the date of the letter. The CE should also send a letter to the claimant explaining our action (see Attachment 5 in EEOICPA Bulletin 07-27). When a response to the inquiry is received from NIOSH, the CE enters the code LNR (Letter/Response Received from NIOSH) into the claim status history in ECMS. The claim status date of the code is the date the response is received in the appropriate office, which is the date of the date stamp. Once NIOSH responds, the DO proceeds to reopen the case if appropriate.
Disposition: Retain until incorporated in the Federal (EEOICPA) Procedure Manual.

AUGUSTA, Maine — In 2002, Maine was ranked 12th in the U.S. in an annual study of the nation's roads and bridges, but in the recently released updated study, based on 2007 data, Maine has dropped to 28th in the nation.
"It certainly will come as no surprise to the people of Maine that our numbers show the state's primary road system — that is, the state-owned roads off the interstate — are the ones that are really weakening now," said David Hartgen, author of the study released by the Reason Foundation. "Maine has a lot of roads and does not have the population match needed for those roads."
Hartgen is a retired professor of transportation studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and has been the author of the annual study of how all the states compare in the management of their resources to assure adequate roads and bridges. He visits Maine frequently, most recently last summer, and lived in Orono for several years, where his late father, Vincent Hartgen, was a well-known art professor at the University of Maine.
"There is both good and bad in the report," Hartgen said. "But it is clear that the state is not investing enough in its transportation infrastructure, and that has economic consequences for the state."
For example, he said, the state ranks 10th best in the country for its administration of the Department of Transportation and is No. 1 in the nation for the quality of its rural interstate highways. But among rural highways, the study ranks Maine 43rd in the nation in the quality of its roads.
"Going from 12th in the nation to 28th in the nation is very concerning and disappointing," said Sen. Dennis Damon, D-Trenton, co-chairman of the Legislature's Transportation Committee. "However, it is not surprising. We are not doing enough for our transportation system here in Maine."
Damon said he has received many letters from visitors to the state complaining about the poor condition of state roads, pointing to the stark difference between the interstate and the roads that "feed" the interstate. He said the state's economy is hurt by the condition of the roads, and that includes the very important tourism sector.
"I ask you, 'What are we trying to do, race to be the worst?'" he said.
Maria Fuentes, executive director of the Maine Better Transportation Association, agreed the report is no surprise. She said state efforts to maintain roads and bridges have lagged behind the identified needs for years. She said that 30 years ago, 26 percent of all revenue raised by the state went for roads and bridges. It is now less than 10 percent.
"When you look at that, this should come as a surprise to nobody," she said. "We need to be doing more as a state."
Maine Transportation Commissioner David Cole said the annual study by Hartgen is "the standard" by which states are measured. He is particularly pleased with Maine's 10th-best ranking in the country for its efficient use of resources, but said the data used in the study lag current efforts.
"One of the things that dragged us down is the bridge deficiency number," he said. "This does not take into account the governor's bridge initiative."
The study ranks Maine 42nd in the nation for its efforts to repair and maintain its bridges. Cole said the state has embarked on a four-year, $130 million bridge repair effort that lawmakers approved last year and that should help in the state's ranking.
"When I look at the 28th position, certainly we would like to be doing better," he said. "But we are still in the middle of the pack, and we are doing better than most Northeastern states."
Cole agrees with Hartgen that the state does not have the resources, either from the state or federal government, to maintain the roads and bridges on the schedule they should be repaired or replaced.
"We have about twice the number of miles of road as New Hampshire, but we get about the same amount of money from the federal government," he said.
Cole hopes Congress changes the federal aid system from one based on population to one that bases some of the aid formula on the amount of miles a state maintains. He said Congress would consider changes as part of the new five-year transportation authorization bill in the new year.
Damon said the report should be a wake-up call for lawmakers that Maine needs to spend more on its transportation infrastructure to help the state recover from the recession and grow its economy.
"We should be embarrassed," he said. "We should be held to a higher standard."

text: I have wanted to try a glass rod for a while, and this week made a bit of a spontaneous purchase. I bought a Lamiglas Obsedian fly rod blank E glass 6' 8" 2 pieces tip over butt 4/5. I got the rod today and while the tip isn't perfectly straight, I can easily wrap it on the straightest axis. I guess my question is does anyone know anything about this? I clearly understand the length and 4/5wt, and I will probably call Lamiglas tomorrow, but just curious if anyone knew about this model? It is very light and the wiggle test feels great. Not a noodle at all, but does flex very low into the butt section. Honestly feels terrific. Anyone have experience with this rod? Can't find anything on a google search, other than Obsedian is probably just the name of the color. Thanks, Mike

Rory McIlroy, Stacy Lewis and Roger Chapman have been named the Players of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America.
They will be honored during the GWAA's 41st Annual Awards dinner on April 10, 2013, in Augusta, Ga. It is the first GWAA Player of the Year award for each player.
McIlroy, who won five times worldwide in 2012 and also claimed Player of the Year awards on both the PGA and Europoean tours, earned 190 of 194 first-place votes, as he was joined on the ballot by Brandt Snedeker (three votes) and Tiger Woods (one).
Lewis, who became the first American since 1994 to win the Rolex Player of the Year award, received 78.8 percent of the vote (153 votes), while Na Yeon Choi (31 votes) and Inbee Park (10) also received consideration.
In the senior balloting, Chapman, a two-time major winner in 2012, received 60 percent of the vote (116 votes), compared to just 22.6 percent for Tom Lehman (44) and 17 percent for Bernhard Langer (33).
This is the third consecutive year (and fourth time in five years) that the GWAA award has gone to a European-born player, following Graeme McDowell (2010) and Luke Donald (2011).

Yep, sure is different! I have no /etc/conf.d or /etc/conf.avail directories at all!! There is a nice /etc/fonts directory now. The conf.d and conf.avail is in there, and neither of them mention all the texmf and texlive fonts. I think I saw a message from a Debian texlive maintainer (Norbert??) that since many of these fonts don't work with fontconfig, this is not activated 'out of the box' ... also if you do searches for this, other people are talking about it, Red Hat is enabling it ... I wonder how useful and how easy it would be to add all or some of these fonts. TeX has SOO many fonts, so it would be awesome to add them to X!! Erin

At first, the first sublingual tablet I took, sometime in the early afternoon, made me seriously moody or more like very low, by the late evening. However, the next try was just before bead, I definitely felt relaxed, almost too much (lacking motivation for anything), good thing I was just about to sleep and I did slept well. Felt great in the morning. In all, this GABA supp. is effective, the question is, what effect you are looking for and what your needs are.

Jake Locker hasn't played in six weeks.
When the Titans quarterback steps back on the field — he's expected to start on Sunday against the Dolphins — it will be trial by fire. He hasn't thrown much to his wide receivers, so chemistry could be an issue. He hasn't faced a fierce pass rush.
So will the coaching staff be forgiving if the second-year pro is less than sharp?
"He needs to be ready to play and play to the best of his ability," quarterbacks coach Dowell Loggains said. "We don't have time for anybody to be rusty. That excuse isn't available for anybody, including him. And he knows that. It's part of the deal. And if you ask Jake, he doesn't expect to be rusty. He's worked his butt off to be ready."
Locker took reps with the first team on Wednesday for the first time since he was knocked out of the Sept. 30 game against the Texans with a dislocated left shoulder.
PICKS: Every Week 10 game projected
Coach Mike Munchak said Locker would be monitored the rest of the week before making a final decision about his status for Sunday's game, but for now it's all systems go. Doctors cleared Locker for contact.
"I feel good. And I don't think they'd give me this opportunity if I didn't," Locker said. "As a competitor you want to be out there and you want to be helping your team any way you can, so I am excited. Any time you get the opportunity to play it is exciting, especially when you have sat and watched for a month or so."
Munchak said he liked the way Locker practiced on Wednesday. He also said there's no reason to delay Locker's return until after the bye — which follows Sunday's game at Miami — especially with the Titans (3-6) in need of a spark after a 51-20 loss to the Bears.
Locker began pressing coaches to let him play weeks ago, but doctors held him back.
In the meantime, Loggains worked with Locker on footwork and throwing mechanics. Locker also asked for extra assignments, and he assisted Matt Hasselbeck, who started the past five games.
"There is really no advantage to waiting until after the bye because there will be a longer period of time since he's actually played in the game," Munchak said. "Jake is very determined. His mindset is he could have played last week if we would have let him. He has been ready mentally."
BUBBLE TEAMS: Contenders or pretenders?
How quickly Locker is able to get into a rhythm, however, remains to be seen.
He first dislocated his non-throwing shoulder in the season opener against the Patriots, but he bounced back to start against the Chargers in Week 2.
He began to heat up in Week 3 against the Lions, going 29-of-42 passing for 368 yards and two touchdowns in an overtime victory. Then he was hurt again early against the Texans.
Former NFL quarterback Kelly Holcomb said Locker is certain to face challenges. He pointed out that Hasselbeck threw three interceptions in the first two games Locker missed.
"It does take time," Holcomb said. "The speed of the game, you can't simulate that in practice. Practice is one thing, but when you have live bullets coming at you on Sunday it is a different deal, plus this is Jake's first year starting.
"I think he'll be knocking the rust off, but he is one of those guys who can move around, and when you can do that the rust is not as apparent as a true pocket passer."
One thing Locker said he wouldn't worry about is his left shoulder, despite the fact he's one big hit away from being shut down for the season. He plans to wear a harness under his pads.
"I am not going to go out and play with any concerns, or anything in the back of my mind. I am just going to go out and play like I always have," Locker said. "I am not going to worry about that, because if it's going to happen it is inevitable. There is no way I can prevent it."

There's been a handful of guys the team has been "playing it safe" with. Why wasn't Bullocks mentioned among them. That's some "valuable, need-to-know" information that's kind of important in determining that he's going to struggle to get the starting gig.

Sure, the net result may be that he's got an uphill climb through training camp, but I'm more confident in the guy knowing that his practice time was limited due to injury rather than talent, ability or the coach's confidence.TimThttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-42476506369196876992009-07-02T00:04:40.533-04:002009-07-02T00:04:40.533-04:00TimT-- Okay, this is the thing though.

Okay, this is the thing though. He played all 16 games on this same knee last year . . . now he misses all of the OTAs? Did he have another surgery?

I'm guessing that he did drills, but no scrimmaging in the veteran-only minicamps, and Tom was basing most of his evaluation on that--and the fact that they were installing the defense with him on the sidelines. Presumably, he's near-100% now and ready to contribute . . . but again, he's got to be way behind all the others in knowing the defense--and he MUST know it cold in order to be able to play with the freedom and abandon he once did. As Schwartz said, reps will be at a premium, so he'll have to do a lot with the few he gets.

Peace

"Wednesday was my first day of two-a-days; in the first mini-camp I didn't get to do anything," he said. "But Wednesday was my first day of two-a-days. I also practiced back-to-back days for the first time, too, as well. It felt pretty good."

Meanwhile, Killer, Niyo and whoever are spinning the same yarn.

Is he practicing and leaving a bad impression? Or, has he been injured and not practicing much at all?

Any judgment of Bullocks's starting status at this point by Killer does him and Bullocks a great disservice.TimThttps://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-24194075837926569142009-07-01T15:05:16.262-04:002009-07-01T15:05:16.262-04:00Drews-- Yeah, being at the mercy of the camera gu...Drews--

Yeah, being at the mercy of the camera guy has always been frustrating. What I really want is for other channels to have other angles I can switch to. I appreciate that the producer in the truck is better at picking out camera angles than I am, but I want to see all 22 guys presnap, and most of those 22 from the snap forward.

I envy the youth of this nation, growing up with HDTV, DVR, Sunday Ticket, NFLN, ESPN Classic--and, of course, the Internet. For most of my formative years, NFL info was only available by the over-air networks, the newspaper, and ONE ESPN (which wasn't nearly as football-obsessed as it is today) . . . now you have access to hundreds of times the information as ever used to be available.

I just remembered--did you ever videogame football with "passing windows" on? It was a fad back in the mid-90s. Half of the screen would be taken up by an extreme close-up of your three top passing options, to show if they were covered or not. I remember practically throwing cartridges over what a horrible view of the field they offered . . .

I don't know what it is with the second-round curse. I really, really, really thought that out of the whole roster, safety was the only unit being "set" with young, talented starters.

Peace

I have a pretty large collection of self-made game film that I like to analyze as a hobby (yes, quite pathetic). I have always been frustrated by the lack of secondary coverage that's in-screen.

On Bullocks... he might be damaged goods. I sure hope not. That's another high draft pick we'll have to expend next year when we already need tackle, guard, receiver, defensive tackle, end and corner. Sheesh. Can just a few of Millen's second rounders work out? Thank God for Raiola and even that's not saying too much.

PSSST If you're thinking of a move at the moment we've a great role that could really appeal. I can obviously tell you all about it when you apply, but in a nutshell the client is a well-established full-service agency and the MD is looking for someone that's going to work closely with him effectively becoming his number 2. It's a brilliant opportunity to join them at a time when you would get the chance to help shape the future of the company rather than just be a part of it. A good strategic head on broad shoulders is what's needed; you'd be working on lots of brand, a bit of TV, some activation, and all forms of digital.

Weekly Media Roundup - January 18, 2012
By Luci Manning
Youth Facility Open for Play (The Daily Times, New Mexico)
A new youth facility with a full-size basketball court, a playground, office, storage space and bathrooms opened in Kirtland earlier this year after being in development for seven years! The Kirtland Youth Facility now houses The Kirtland Youth Association's afterschool programs and other youth activities. The group will host a grand opening ceremony on Saturday. Charles Kromer, the executive director of the Kirtland Youth Association, told The Daily Times that the association hopes to make the facility a "full service community center."
Brother's Love Strikes a Chord (The Boston Globe, Massachusetts)
Afterschool students at the Plugged In program in Needham are rocking out for a good cause. The students, ages 8 to 18, learn how to play rock music and then showcase their talents at a concert at the end of each term. For each concert, the afterschool students vote on a charity to support. This year, 12-year-old electric guitarist Nelson Barnett eloquently spoke about his younger brother Roland, who was born with a rare genetic condition called chromosome 15q duplication syndrome or Dup15q for short, and convinced the group to support the Dup15q Alliance as this year's beneficiary for the winter "Believe" concert. Nelson and Roland's mother Nancy told The Boston Globe that the students have already exceeded their $3,000 fundraising goal.
Zumbathon Raises Money for West Bank Boys & Girls Club (Times-Picayune, Louisiana)
In Gretna, grownups and youth participated in a Zumbathon at the Westbank Boys & Girls Club to raise money for the Club's afterschool program. Local elementary teacher and Zumba instructor Miriam Rosa organized the fundraiser because she said she saw how important the afterschool programs at the Boys & Girls Club were to her students last year.
Bike Education Programs Strive to Ratchet Up Teens' Interests (Chicago Tribune, Illinois)
Students from Chicago's West Town Bikes, near Humboldt Park, traveled to New York City last weekend to participate in the second annual youth bike summit and give a presentation on its Girls Bike Club. Proponents of bike education programs told the Chicago Tribune that the increase in bike education has paralleled the growth in charter schools and project-based learning and that the hands-on, visual style of learning reaches students who are not engaged by conventional methods. West Town Bikes runs 14 afterschool programs that provide young people with mechanical skills, work readiness, physical fitness, environmental awareness and personal pride.

Another new formation, another defeat - it was a familiar story for Leeds United at Wigan even if they were not disgraced in losing 1-0 to the likely Sky Bet Championship play-off team.
A single goal on 33 minutes by Martin Waghorn proved enough to give cup semi-finalists Wigan a victory in a drab game that failed to catch fire.
Leeds were unlucky to lose this one after forcing their opponents back for most of the second half, but they did not create enough clear chances for all their possession and are still in need of a few points if they are to be safe from relegation.
Manager Brian McDermott was pleased with the way his side competed against opponents 10 places higher in the league.
He said: "The important thing is to stay in the game in this league and we did that, there was nothing between these two sides at all.
"We have not stayed in games recently, so today was an important experience.
"Wigan will be a force to reckon with, but we kept our shape and we have to move on positively for the next game."
McDermott sprung another of his surprise selections after going for a new 3-4-1-2 tactic with Matt Smith and Noel Hunt up front and Ross McCormack playing in behind them.
It worked in stifling Wigan to some extent, but Leeds failed to trouble home keeper Ali Al Habsi in the opening 45 minutes.
The hosts were not much better and could have been down to 10 men in the opening minutes when James Perch elbowed Stephen Warnock in an aerial challenge only to be yellow carded instead of shown red.
Wigan did go close twice through Perch with a header and Jordi Gomez's long-range strike.
They took the lead out of the blue in the 33rd minute when Waghorn's low shot from the edge of the box found the net with United's on-loan keeper Jack Butland only getting a weak hand to the ball when he should have done better.
Wigan started the second half confidently as Perch's shot was deflected over by Warnock and Waghorn's free-kick went just over.
But they were then pushed back for the remainder of the game and United finally began to create something up front.
Sam Byram shot over from the angle of the box, Smith headed over and Michael Tonge gave Al Habsi his first save with a 25-yard shot that was deflected.
Butland saved easily from James McLean's shot and Tom Lees headed over from a free-kick before Leeds came closest to their elusive goal when Smith found McCormack on the edge of the box and the Scottish international was unlucky to see his deft lob land just wide.
The Whites had one more chance when Jason Pearce headed over from a Warnock corner, but it was not to be and the big travelling contingent was left to reflect on more money wasted in their support of this team.

There's a good chance you've heard of Square before. It's the newest venture from Jack Dorsey, one of the co-founders of Twitter. The idea behind Square is pretty simple. Download an app for your mobile phone, and you can charge credit cards just about anywhere, with the only charge being a per-transaction fee. Square can also send you a tiny little credit card reader (for free), which reduces the transaction fee as it lowers the chance of fraud.
Pretty cool, right? Square's been up and running for just about six months, but only recently became able to fulfill requests for readers en masse. The end result of Square is in a sense the democratization of credit card payments; anyone can use their credit card to pay for just about anything anywhere, with little to no hassle.
This is actually pretty similar to a system that's been in use for a few years in Kenya called M-PESA (the m stands for mobile and pesa is Swahili for money). M-PESA allows individuals to transfer money and mobile phone minutes from one user to another, with little to no interaction with a traditional bank. As a result, financial transactions become location independent and easy to accomplish, since the system can piggyback upon existing mobile networks.
Using mobile phones as a payment device isn't all that new though. In the U.S. they've been used to purchase ringtones and the like for some time, and they've acted as complete mobile payment solutions abroad for years. But what's great about Square is that it could potentially open up the purchasing power of the U.S. consumer credit system to everyone – from independent artists to tiny companies to international charities.
Brings new meaning to the phrase "accepted everywhere," doesn't it?

The Los Alamos Youth Business Grant Program is never at rest, with dozens of recipients working, due to the help of the Los Alamos Commerce and Development Department.
Last summer, the program had 12 recipients, six landscaping yard work businesses, a religious jewelry making business, a weaving business, a string quartet business, T-shirt making, a greeting card and knitting business and a dog grooming business.
Chandler Lauritzen, 14, received a grant for $400 from the YBGP.
"If it wasn't for the grant, I would have never started the business," Lauritzen said. He used the funds to purchase starter supplies and begin the process of advertising.
The Los Alamos High School student was looking for a way to earn spending money, while allowing him time for sports.
"I liked how it gave me something to do instead of sitting on the couch watching T.V," Lauritzen said.
The YBGP committee provides grants with varying amounts based on criteria selected by the program.
The YBGP worked with committee members Brian Korzec, Judy Ruggles, director of human resources at Buffalo Thunder; Sarah Taylor, director of the Hope Pregnancy Center; Bryan Farmer, business advisor of Los Alamos Commerce and Development Corporation and Heather Campbell of the LACDC.
Korzec has been a workshop presenter for the University of New Mexico-Los Alamos Small Business Development Center, offering courses on time management, stress management, leadership and building successful teams. He is the owner of KorRelations Institute.
In order to apply for the grant, students must be at least 14 years old and must submit a detailed application outlining their business plan, goals and ideas for how they will be accomplished.
Students also submit a final report, outlining their accomplishments and describing the stumbling blocks they encountered during their work.
Lauritzen has continued with his business and the time has come for him to give back to the community that gave to him. Through his business, Christ Cross, he will donate a portion of his sales to youth projects until spring break begins.
Lauritzen attended the Search Institute conference in November and is attempting to raise funds to offset the cost of the trip and begin implementing several youth projects.
"I would like to use what I learned from the conference and apply it to events where people would find this information useful," Lauritzen said.
The crosses sell for $10 each and are available in a variety of colors. The necklaces can also be converted into zipper pulls for coats, purses and jackets.
Green and gold have been the top sellers, with NFL and college sports team colors gaining on sales.
Christ Cross is assisting these endeavors by working with Community Matters to sell re-useable grocery bags to benefit the community in several ways. The green bags are available for $2 each and can be delivered in Los Alamos or White Rock.
Those who wish to help can donate funds to support the Youth Business Grant Program. Volunteers are also welcome to mentor a young entrepreneur and information is available on their Web site at www.ybgp.org or by calling Emiley at 661-4803.
Lauritzen can be reached at 672-4089 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com, for questions regarding of availability of cross colors or delivery of green bags.

"You blast off in 5-4-3-2-1!!!" said a voice of the radio.
"Blast off!!!" yelled Commander Mac as the space craft blasted off.
The trip was underway.
"I can't wait!" said Captain Bee, "I wonder what's on Io?"
"I don't know," said Captain Lexi, "But I bet it's yellow."
"No, "said Mac, "It'll be orange."
The navigator, and mapmaker, Jack sighed, "Who cares what color it is?"
"I do!" said Mac and Lexi, together.
Jack shook his head, rolled his eyes, and went back to looking at his map.
Bee was absolutely glued to the window of the shuttle. "Look! We just passed Mars!"
"Wasn't Mars a Greek God or something?" asked Colin, the expedition's geologist.
"No," said Lyle, the engineer, "I am… It is all about me, you know."
"Yeah, we know," said Lexi, "you only tell us this every day."
"We should touch down on Io in approximately two hours," said Gilligan, who was the pilot.
"What do you expect us to do until then?" whined Colin.
"Five minutes until touch down," updated Gilligan, "We are currently passing Jupiter."
The other six rushed to a window to look at the giant planet.
Lyle moved away from the window, and started to dig through his bag. He pulled out a pink notebook.
"What's that?" asked Colin.
"My diary."
Lyle opened the book and began to write.
"Dude," he said, to no one in particular, "How do you spell 'Io'?"
Everyone turned around and stared at him.
Finally, Colin said, "How do you expect me to know?"
Then, at that moment, they landed on the surface of Io, which, ironically, is spelled with an I and an O.
A half an hour later, the seven space explorers ventured out onto the surface of Io. They had all of the equipment to do their respective jobs, except for Lyle. He had nothing but a CD player.
They wandered around the around on the surface for about an hour without finding anything unusual.
Colin went ahead of everyone else. One minute he was walking in front of them, and the next he was nowhere to be seen, however, he could be heard.
"OWWWWWWWW!!!" he roared.
Mac ran over, she couldn't afford to lose one of her crew. "What happened?"
"Something tripped me!"
Mac looked around. There, sitting by Colin was a neatly folded pair of pants.
The others had caught up by now. They looked around and saw pants for as far as their eyes could see.
Bee went up to Colin, who was still rolling on the ground, clutching his ankle, and said, "Hello, my name is Bee. I'm trained in First Aid. I do not wish to help you."
"I don't need First Aid!" yelled Colin.
"Good," said Bee, as she wandered off to look at a pair of pants a few feet away.
"Why do you think they're here?" asked Lexi.
"I don't know," said Lyle, "but I really don't care."
"Poke… poke… poke… poke… poke…" Bee was kneeling next to a pair of pants, and for reasons unknown, was poking them.
Lyle was utterly bored. He took out his CD player, popped in his Swan Lake sound track, turned up the volume all the way, and put on his headphones…
The pairs of pants that Colin had tripped over twitched. Then, they started to unfold.
The crew backed away slowly.
The pants stood up. They were huge, perhaps nine feet tall! The other pairs of pants began to rise, too.
Then, all of a sudden, the pants began to, well… dance.
Yes, the pants were in fact, dancing. A million pairs of nine foot tall pairs of pants were dancing to Lyle's ballet CD. They were very graceful, for being so big. They leaped and spinned perfectly.
Lyle stopped his CD, and stared.
At the same moment, the pants froze for a moment. Then they started to advance on the crew.
"Lyle, play your music again!" yelled Lexi, "That seemed to charm them or something."
Lyle did as he was told. Immediately, the pants began to dance again.
"So," asked Jack, "what are we going to call this place? Grove of the Dancing Pants?"

So, what is Super Robot Wars, anyway? Put simply, it's a series of video games. They have graced every major home console since the 8-bit Nintendo, with the exception of the Genesis. They've even already got one slated for Dreamcast. The basic premise behind Super Robot Wars is that giant robots from different anime series join together to fight evil. The game is war simulation format, with an overview map showing your troops and the enemy troops. Once you send one of your troops to fight an enemy, the game switches to a cool battle sequence in which each robot performs its attack. The pictures in the gallery are almost always going to be from these battle sequences, since the overview maps make for boring pictures.
To start us out, I've taken a bunch of pics using an SNES emulator and the Super Robot Wars Side Story: Lord of Elemental game. This game features the Masou Kishin (roughly "Magical Mechanical Armor God", with an English subtranslation of "Lord of Elemental"), which are robots especially designed for the Super Robot Wars series. Hence the name Gaiden, or Side Story, since the game focuses not on the actual anime characters but on the characters created just for the game. It is also one of only two SRW games to show its robots in normal size, instead of the Super Deformed size. The normal size makes for cooler pictures.
This is the Cybaster, the Masou Kishin of Wind, piloted by Masaki Andou. Cybaster is the main character of the Masou Kishin series. Masaki himself is a great fighter but not such a great thinker (his expressions throughout the game usually show this).
This is the Cybird, an alternate form of Cybaster.
This is the Goddess, the Masou Kishin of Water, piloted by Tootie Noorbook. The Goddess seems to be the weakest of the four Masou Kishin, but it also has healing abilities. Tootie is calm and serene most of the time, and acts like a big sister to Masaki.
This is the Granveil, the Masou Kishin of Fire, piloted by Hwang Yan Long. Yan Long is very calm and reserved, a real thinker. It was hard for him to admit that Masaki had better piloting skills. A philosopher, Yan Long is also a great pilot and utilizes Granveil well.
This is the Zamzeed, the Masou Kishin of Earth. It was originally piloted by Ricardo Silvera, but he was killed in an early part of the game. He was replaced later by Mio Sasuga, pictured. Mio was actually brought into the world of Masou Kishin by accident, but Zamzeed chose her to be the new pilot. She is very energetic and likes to tease people a lot, especially Masaki since he has a lot of girl problems on his hands.
This is Valcionne R, piloted by Ryuune Zoldark. Ryuune is the daughter of Bian Zoldark, who created the Divine Crusaders, the organization that comprises the "bad guys" for the first part of the SRW saga. When Masaki killed Bian, Ryuune came looking for revenge. However, Ryuune ended up getting a big crush on Masaki and followed him back home. Masaki actually has a crush on another girl, who also likes him. This, of course, throws a monkey wrench in Ryuune's plans. The more playful members of the team have made it a sport to tease Masaki mercilessly about his predicament.
This is the Granzon, piloted by Shuu Shirakawa. Shuu is Masaki's archenemy, a Char to his Amuro, a Hakaider to his Kikaider, a Furio to his Leo (you get the idea). Shuu killed Masaki's mentor while storming the city. Masaki actually killed Shuu once, but he was revived. Eventually, though, Shuu resented having his strings pulled once he was revived and turned on his masters, siding with Masaki to bring them down.

Our national leaders have recommended that we get back to living normal lives so that the major evil which arose Sept. 11 in New York City would not get the best of us. I agree with this recommendation. Part of my living normally is to point out where local mischief lies and figure out how to excise it.
As I write this on March 4, the courts are considering a rewrite of certain districts in the Eagle River and Mat-Su area following the politically motivated work of the Tony Knowles-dominated Reapportionment Board. This board gave us one of the most pathetic, politically driven, misuse of taxpayers' funds in a long time.
I will admit to a small responsibility to this debacle. The Legislature created the means by which the governor could dominate who was to be on the Reapportionment Board. Legislation allowed Knowles two selections, the Legislature two and the Supreme Court one. We should have known in advance that the chief justice, appointed by Knowles, would appoint a person, Vicki Otte, favorable to the governor's interests. Why? Otte (who also chairs the board) is married to Ron Otte, former commissioner of Public Safety, also appointed by Knowles. Too many naively assumed the chief justice would be fair and apolitical. This string of bias ultimately meant that Knowles' people would be in charge of the board by three to two, and be in a position to redraw district boundaries that would be politically advantageous to them.
That being the case, the Reapportionment Board gerrymandered boundaries to create more than three score cases where well-known Republicans have been forced to run against each other. The theory is that the conservative ranks will be greatly thinned, thereby opening the door for the Democrats to seize control of the Legislature.
In my case, what the board did was so transparent, so obvious, that you have to ask, "Did the board really think we were that ignorant?"
I own a home that I've been remodeling a little more than a mile south of Knik-Goose Bay Road near Wasilla. It is within my present legislative district (26). Along comes Tony's Gang where they drew a line, a new boundary, conveniently down Knik Road, but bypassing Fairview Loop Road, including my neighborhood. For no reason other than political (that is to force me to run against my friend Beverly Masek), they shoved me into Beverly's district to the west. There is no known logical reason for this action. There is not even an excuse for it.
Why did the board commit this obvious, self-serving act? According to one wise pundit, "Because they can!" Let's hope the court action will show the people of Alaska that Tony Knowles' Reapportionment Board is found guilty of political arrogance. Also let us hope that an unbiased, rational, redistricting map can be drawn solely on the geography of all the people in Alaska as it's supposed to be.
In the meantime, I moved my official residence back into my current district, strictly out of self-defense. This means that Beverly and I will not have to fight it out to the Democrats' amusement. It means that the actual home I was working on for my new family will now have to be sold or rented. I was able to outmaneuver Tony's efforts politically but he was successful in creating a hardship for me and my family on a very personal level.
If I were the attorney involved in this redistricting case, I would subpoena the governor's majority on the board and put them on the stand with the question, "How do you justify the obvious gerrymandering?" It would be laughable to hear them explain.
If the governor and his left-wing hacks are able to get away with such obvious, irresponsible behavior on a simple matter of redistricting, with a feeble excuse, "the Republicans did it to us 10 years ago", then what will they do to us in other matters like taxation, spending and regulation if they had control of the Legislature? How can we trust them to look after our best interests? This is just one more example of a long list of why the answer is: We can't!
It is also a massive waste of tax dollars and the court's time when it has to take on the "Tony Legacy: Boundaries That Could Not Be Explained Away!"

American Studies
Houghton Mifflin, 1994 - Fiction - 275 pages
Reeve thinks his life is over: his career is at a dead end, his face is a mess, and his landlord is evicting him from his apartment because he made too much noise when a hustler beat him up. As he lies in his hospital bed, trying to figure out what to do next, he finds himself brooding about the parallel ruin of his comrade and mentor Tom Slater, a famous American literary scholar who dabbled in communism and was driven to suicide during the McCarthy era. And there is the further distraction of the patient in the next bed, a silent youth who arouses feelings Reeve has vowed not to have any more, the dangerous longing for the sweetness and menace of straight men. Never at a loss for the telling detail or bitchy aside, Reeve offers a sweeping view of gay life in this century as he reconstructs the troubled world of Tom Slater (a figure inspired by the critic F. O. Matthiessen) and recalls his own insouciant youth and horny old age. Dark humor and decadent prose infuse this story of desire, betrayal, and healing.
