The forward march of time is rarely kind to those it tramples underfoot, be they flesh or fiberglass. Along with the physical indignities of the aging process--the loss of outward luster, the deterioration of vital substructures, the dulling of one's "performance edge"--there's a far more insidious development to contend with: the inexorable retreat of relevance. Today's hero is tomorrow's has-been, and so it has been since time immemorial.
The upside to dealing with impending senescence in the vehicular realm stems from the ease with which automobiles--and particularly Corvettes--yield themselves to the process of creative rejuvenation. Remove a fastener here, pop a retaining tab there, and pretty soon you're well on your way to a fresh, new look--no pills, unguents, or liposuction cannulae required.
With that in mind, we decided it might be instructive to take a not-quite-over-the-hill Corvette and treat it to an aesthetic overhaul using an assortment of top-quality aftermarket parts. While our test subject--a '99 fixed-roof coupe--was still in fine shape cosmetically and mechanically, this onetime performance flagship was starting to look a little dowdy next to newer offerings such as the Grand Sport, the Z06, and the ZR1. Let's examine the items we selected to bring it up to date.
Lewis Five Motorsports Body Kit
We'd featured cars equipped with Lewis Five Motorsports hardware in the past, so we were aware of the company's reputation for building Corvette body components that fit properly and look great. For our FRC, we drew liberally from L5's parts arsenal, selecting a set of flared front fenders and rear quarter-panels, along with a quartet of matching fiberglass splash guards. (The latter items are also available in genuine carbon.)
The fenders and quarters embolden the C5's looks considerably, while avoiding the "tacked on" look that afflicts some competing offerings. Up front, the additional 3/4-inch of width per side is subtle enough that it might be missed by a casual observer. There's no overlooking the rear quarters, however, which swell the car by 2 inches per side--enough to swallow virtually any wheel/tire combo one might choose to fit (more on that in a moment).
For the truly committed, L5 also offers a full wide-body kit that includes the aforementioned bits, along with new front/rear fascias and side rocker panels. We might take that step in the future, but for now, the fenders, quarters, and splash guards have our FRC on the path back to head-turner status.
Forgeline Wheels
In keeping with our focus on top-shelf quality, we chose a set of Forgeline's new CF3C Concave forged wheels to fill out our FRC's newly tumescent fenders. Like the company's popular racing wheels, the five-spoke CF3C uses a three-piece design that's held together with hidden stainless-steel ARP fasteners.
In sizing our new rims, we thought it important to one-up the current crop of Corvette supercars. Fortunately, the L5 rear quarters provide sufficient clearance for wheels of up to 12 inches in width--the same as on a new ZR1. Since the CF3C's modular nature makes it fully customizable, we were able to specify the precise size and offset required to occupy the available space and clear the C6 Z06 brake conversion that was recently installed on the car. You won't get that from just any old molded-aluminum rim. (We did stop short of specifying race-style center locks, though Forgeline offers them as an option.) Factor in a wide range of available finishes, and the 3F3C is a superlative wheel choice for any style- and performance-conscious Corvette owner.
Nitto Invo Tires
With our Forgelines spec'd out, it was time to select a tire. Naturally, we elected to use the widest rubber our new wheels would accommodate, in this case a 275/35-18 up front and a steamroller-size 345/30ZR19 in the rear. (For comparison's sake, the ZR1 wears 285/30ZR19s and 335/25ZR20s, respectively.)
Nitto's Invo is one of a handful of tires available in these sizes, and by far the most affordable. It's said to offer an ideal balance of performance and ride comfort, which sounded like a perfect fit for our mostly street-driven FRC. It also has a wild-looking geometric tread pattern that's sure to further enliven the car's looks, especially from behind.
Now that you know a little more about the individual elements, let's take a closer look at how the entire ensemble will come together on our subject car. In a future issue, we'll cover the final installation and paint processes, and unveil the finished product.

Oct. 6, 2009 -- Three-fourths of deaths due to breast cancer occur among women who do not undergo regular screening mammograms, a large study shows.
Researchers studied 6,997 women who were diagnosed with breast cancer in Massachusetts between 1990 and 1999. Surveys indicated that 80% had regular mammograms, defined as at least two screening mammograms every two years.
Over the next 13 years, there were 461 deaths from breast cancer; 345 (75%) were among women who did not receive regular mammograms and 116 (25%) were among women who were regularly screened.
The researchers then extrapolated the results to the more than 192,000 women who will be diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in the U.S. in 2009. It's estimated that, overall, 15% of these women will die over the next 13 years, says study head Blake Cady, MD, emeritus professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School.
But when looked at by their mammogram history, only 5% of those who were regularly screened are expected to die by 2022, he says.
In contrast, 56% of those who skipped regular mammograms are expected to die over the same period -- a rate similar to 1970, before the widespread use of mammography, Cady tells WebMD.
The findings were released at a news conference with the American Society of Clinical Oncology in advance of the 2009 Breast Cancer Symposium in San Francisco.
Benefits of Mammography
Other studies have shown that regular mammograms, which help detect breast cancers at earlier, more curable stages, cut the risk of dying from breast cancer by anywhere from 25% to over 50%.
But Cady says the large, population-wide analysis helps to better illustrate the practical benefits of mammography. The hope is that the "powerful figures" will convince more women to have regular mammograms -- ideally every year starting at age 40, he says.
There are a number of barriers to more widespread screening, such as lack of insurance, Cady acknowledges.
Still, "this is something many women can easily do to reduce their chance of dying from breast cancer," he says.
Some women, for example, shy away from screening because they��re scared of false-positives leading to unnecessary biopsies and anxiety, Cady notes. His response: "When you look at the huge reduction in deaths that can be avoided by mammography, concerns about false-positives and having to undergo biopsies seem minor."
The findings "remind us that mammography is one of the most powerful tools we have for improving breast cancer survival rates," says Lori Pierce, MD, professor of radiation oncology at the University of Michigan School of Medicine, who moderated the news conference.

(Eileen Dombrowski, from OUP blog) It's easy to spark discussion in TOK when the topic is Ethics. This area of knowledge offers its own tinder, and a spark can quickly flame. But what then? How much should we fuel student engagement with the case studies or issues, and how much should we instead encourage them to take a giant step back? In treating Ethics in Theory of Knowledge, we walk the line between two extremes, excessive engagement and excessive detachment.

The United States Sports Academy recently hosted its 28th annual Academy's Awards of Sport celebration, which annually pays tribute to those who have made significant contributions to sport.
This prestigious Awards of Sport event, which marked the university's 40th anniversary of excellence in sport education, was held Thursday, Nov. 1 at the Academy's Daphne, Ala., campus. The 2012 program, whose theme was "The Artist & The Athlete," recognized many of the world's top athletes, coaches and administrators from the 2012 London Olympic Games.
Also in recognition of the 40th anniversary of the landmark Title IX legislation that ushered in a new era of gender equity in college athletics, the Awards of Sport honored several women pioneers in the sport world. (Click here to see a complete list of the Academy's 2012 Awards of Sport honorees.)
This year's show featured the Academy's 2013 Sport Artists of the Year: Primo Angeli and Martin Linson. Primo Angeli is a world-renowned artist who the late International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Juan Antonio Samaranch personally selected to create the official poster to commemorate the 1996 Atlanta Centennial Olympic Games. Martin Linson is the IOC's 2012 London Olympics Sport and Art Contest winner in the sculpture category with his bronze, "Omnipotent Triumph," that pays tribute to the Paralympic athlete. He is the second American sculptor in the past three Olympiads to win the international art competition.
The Academy presents awards each year to honor exemplary achievement in coaching, all-around athletic performance, courage, humanitarian activity, fitness and media, sports art, as well as the top professional athletes of the year. The Academy recognizes these men and women through its Sport Artist of the Year, Honorary Doctorates, Distinguished Service Awards, Medallion Series, Athletes of the Year, and Alumni of the Year awards.
Honorees may be nominated by any of the Academy's worldwide constituents. This assemblage includes administration, alumni, faculty, national faculty, staff, students and members of various organizations and boards that work closely with the Academy on this special project. Following the nomination process, honorees are selected by the Awards of Sport Committee, a special group within the Academy that is comprised of the Academy President's Cabinet and other staff members with a vested interest and an extensive knowledge of sports and the arts.
Every honoree chosen by the Awards of Sport Committee is presented to the Academy's Board of Trustees. All honoree selections are subject to a vote and must be formally approved and ratified by this group. Award recipients are traditionally presented with the Academy's Order of the Eagle Exemplar Medal and Academy Rosette.

Aaron Nelson and Chamber board chair Paige Zinn compare notes before the State of the Community presentation. (Photo by Donn Young, courtesy of the Orange County Visitors Bureau.)
As the country, the state and the region pull slowly out of recession, the state of our community is strong — but still could stand to get stronger, particularly when it comes to housing.
That was the takeaway from the Chapel Hill-Carrboro Chamber of Commerce's sixth annual State of the Community report, delivered at the Friday Center on Tuesday by Chamber president Aaron Nelson.
View the full presentation here.
"(We have a) strong, educated workforce (that's) increasingly diverse," he says. "Our economy and community are resilent — we were late into this recession and we were first out — and many of those indicators look good."
Generally speaking, Orange County ranks among the best in the state in most indicators of social wellbeing, from educational achievement to the crime rate to public health. Fittingly, though — for a region so often concerned about its perceived status as a 'bedroom community' — many of the more worrying statistics relate to movement.
"We are growing, and we will still grow…(and) we've got to figure out where these folks are going to live," Nelson says. Orange County's population in 2012 was just shy of 138,000, up 22,000 from the turn of the century — and by 2025 Orange County is projected to add another 30,000 residents, for a total of more than 166,000.
"That's a lot of folks," Nelson says. "Let me give you some perspective: 140 West Franklin downtown, the big tall thing, that holds 300 people. I just said 30,000."
And the local housing market is struggling to keep up — a fact that's contributing to the already-high cost of renting and buying homes.
More than half of all housing units in Chapel Hill are occupied by renters — in Carrboro it's more than 60 percent — and affordable housing remains persistently scarce. More than half of all renters in Orange County now pay more than 35 percent of their income in rent, well above the "affordability" threshold.
"The rental market is growing, but the lack of supply is driving (the) rate," Nelson says. "This huge increase in those rates — folks are moving into our community and (adding) pressure."
And the cost of homeownership remains elevated as well. Nelson says the average closing price for an Orange County home has dropped slightly from its peak in 2010 — it's now about $319,000, down from $330,000 — but that's still far pricier than an average home in our neighboring counties, and it's not just because the houses are bigger.
"The price per square foot in our market is dramatically higher," Nelson says. "(It's) $134 a square foot (in Orange County)…in Chapel Hill city limits it's $180 a square foot. That's — my editorial comment — a supply challenge, because folks are able to build it in Durham for $93 a square foot."
Compounding the housing crunch, of course, is the demand coming from UNC: of the 29,000-plus students at UNC-Chapel Hill, 63 percent live off campus—more than 18,000 in total, all seeking housing in and around Orange County. That's already caused some controversy in the Northside and Pine Knolls neighborhoods, both very near campus—where Town officials have had to step in to address parking concerns, and longtime residents have been driven out by the rising cost of housing (and the resulting property tax hike) that came with the increased demand.
But Nelson says it could be worse: in fact, 55 percent of UNC's undergrads live on campus, a far higher percentage than many of UNC's peer institutions. (At Indiana University, for instance—in the Chapel Hill-esque town of Bloomington—only 40 percent of undergrads live on campus.)
And there are also several housing projects currently in the works near downtown that are specifically geared for students—a development that Nelson says will also go a long way toward alleviating the problem of affordable workforce housing as well.
"(In) my view, the greatest growth of workforce housing, workforce rental, has been new student rental," Nelson says. "If you go back in time (and) take a look at all the apartments that were student apartments in the late 1990s, early 2000s — when new student housing got built, students moved to that, and what was backfilled into the old student housing was workforce housing."
Still, with 30,000 more residents projected to move into Orange County in the next twelve years, the housing crunch is not likely to go away anytime soon—and Nelson says that'll be the case across the entire Triangle, where half a million more residents are expected to flock in by 2025.
We'll have more from the Chamber's State of the Community report throughout the week, but you can see the entire presentation for yourself at this link.

The New England Patriots are signing a tight end, but it's not Kellen Winslow.
Agent Rick Smith confirmed an ESPNBoston.com report that tight end Michael Hoomanawanui will be joining New England on Wednesday. Hoomanawanui -- not to be confused with former Ram Brandon Manumaleuna -- knows Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels' system from their days together in St. Louis.
The Patriots later announced the signing.
Winslow worked out for the Patriots but failed a physical with the team, according to Mary Paoletti of Comcast SportsNet New England.com. Hoomanawanui essentially will replace Visanthe Shiancoe, whom the Patriots on Wednesday placed on injured reserve and "designated for return" later in the season.Follow Gregg Rosenthal on Twitter @greggrosenthal.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to restart peace negotiations with the Palestinians using the pre-1967 borders as a baseline for a final status peace agreement, according to Israeli media.
Officials in Netanyahu's office told various newspapers that the proposal is actually a package deal that also requires the Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state, something the Palestinian leadership has vehemently refused to do.
Israelis see the Palestinian refusal to recognize Israel as a Jewish state as evidence that the Arabs intend to continue the struggle against Israel even after a supposedly "final status" deal is signed.
But the Palestinians have also been criticizing Israel for years over its refusal to base a peace deal on the pre-1967 lines, and so will have trouble brushing off that offer without appearing insincere in their commitment to peace.
On paper, Israel is not offering much more than it already has. Previous Israeli governments have offered the Palestinians nearly all of the territory up to the pre-1967 borders, with mutually accepted land swaps to accomodate large Jewish settlements.
But, Israel has always been careful to not officially accept the pre-1967 borders because that is not what the UN Resolution 242 originally intended, and because doing so would surrender the Jewish claim to Judea and Samaria. It is for precisely that reason that the Palestinians want Israel to publicly accept the pre-1967 lines, and Netanyahu could be setting Israel up for trouble by doing so.
There is concern that Netanyahu feels trapped and that he must make such an offer with the Palestinians threatening to unilaterally seek international recognition for a Palestinian state at the UN in September.
The UN General Assembly is certain to vote in favor of a Palestinian state, and though the decision would not be legally binding, it would create a very sticky situation for Israel. By making this new offer regardign the pre-1967 borders, Netanyahu and the Obama Administration hope to head off the Palestinian UN bid and convince Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas to drop it all together.
Israel has taken what it likes to see as "bold risks" for peace in the past, such as the 2005 Gaza withdrawal. But, like with Gaza, all have so far proved to be bad risks that only increased the pressure and demands on Israel.

Continued historically low interest rates and five-year lows in inventory are the highlights of the Longmont-area housing market heading into 2013.
Following the bottom falling out of the market in late 2008, it has been a long, slow climb back up for the real estate industry. The so-called Great Recession and the economic upheaval that went along with it have made for a bumpy ride the past several years.
But in 2012, things seemed to return to normal, with the federal government's incentives and the worst of the foreclosure situation having run their course.
Single-family home sales picked up in the St. Vrain Valley in 2012. Total homes sold in Longmont were 1,082, a 21 percent increase over the 892 sold in 2011. The average days on market dropped 16 percent, to 88 from 105 in 2011, and the median sale price was up nearly 12 percent: to $230,000 in2012 from $206,000 in 2011.
But the number of active listings -- 280 in Longmont at the end of 2012, compared with 309 at the end of 2011, according to Kyle Snyder of Land Title Guarantee Co., who compiles monthly stats for the Longmont Association of Realtors -- is at a five-year low, meaning buyers' choices are limited.
"I haven't seen a lot I've liked, but I like this," prospective homebuyer Barbara McCormick said as she toured a house in the Yeager Farms neighborhood last week.
Her real estate agent, Dene Yarwood of Wright Kingdom Real Estate, reported the next day that McCormick had decided to buy the four-bedroom, three-bath house.
Yarwood, a broker/associate with Wright Kingdom and 2013 president of the LAR's board of directors, said the Longmont real estate market really started ramping up last spring.
"It's still such a great time to buy," Yarwood said. "Interest rates are still so, so low. And prices haven't climbed as much as we'd like them to yet."
She said the normal laws of supply and demand don't necessarily apply in the market right now. Given how low inventory is, it would seem prices should be up significantly, but they are, in fact, lagging, Yarwood said.
"I think it's because of the issue that we had with appraisals before 2008 that put us in this position to begin with," she said. "In 2008, we were too free with our pricing, and right now we are being too conservative. If we can find something in the middle, it will help both buyer and seller."
While there is building going on -- at Yeager Farms, for example -- the homebuilding industry is still recovering from the complete stop of just a few years ago, Yarwood said.
"Suddenly after our market changed last March, it took a little while to get it going again," she said. "There is some construction going on, but I think now they're kind of playing catch-up."
Lisa Henry, a broker/associate with Legacy Real Estate Group, said the market now is almost a complete reversal of the way things were about seven years ago.
"Then, we had more listings than we had buyers," Henry said. "Now, we have more buyers than listings."
For example, she said, in Longmont, the largest number of houses sold are always in the $175,000 to $250,000 range. At the moment, Henry said last week, there are 40 of them on the market, "and of those properties, 19 are under contract."
Once you factor in specifics such as location and layout of a particular house, the field of choices for the buyer is narrowed even further, she said.
On the plus side, for the buyers, "they can buy more house for the same (monthly) payment than they did 10 years ago," Henry said.
On the seller end of things, the low inventory doesn't automatically mean people can simply hand out a for-sale sign and fetch what they're asking, according to Yarwood.
"I think you still have to present a good product to attract buyers," she said. "And while we're not back to pre-2008 pricing, we're inching up, and that's a good note for sellers."
Josh Hunter, the owner/broker of Metro Brokers/St. Vrain Realty, said he's noticing buyers are most interested in "the shiny one on the shelf" -- referring to how clean a home is, how move-in ready it is and what kind of improvements have been made, such as with kitchen appliances.
"Those are where we're seeing 10 days -- we're seeing low days to an offer," Hunter said. "Luckily, I was in four or five of those deals (last) year, where we were seeing multiple offers in just a few days.
"Those well-cared-for, ready-to-move-in homes, no joke, should be receiving an offer within 30 days," Hunter said. "I've been telling people: location, location, condition."

If I had been asked a few months ago to name the state with the largest chapter of Trout Unlimited, my first few guesses would have been the classic fly-fishing and trout states of Montana, Idaho or Wyoming. If I had been reminded of the low population densities of those states, I might have instead guessed Colorado (and some river in the Denver area) or Michigan (with its famous trout streams not too far north of Detroit) or even California or Oregon. Or perhaps Maine. Or New York.
Indeed, there are many other states I would have guessed before I landed on Texas.
Occasionally, such as when I am cooped up inside for most of the month of January, I get an uncontrollable urge to clean. Usually, if I just take a few deep breaths, the feeling passes in a minute or two. But sometimes I can't help myself. This past weekend, for instance, I cleaned out the laundry room.
My inspiration? The Sasquatch standing in the corner.

Snoop Dogg's Uncle June Bugg Officially Dies After Battle with Cancer
Snoop Dogg's beloved uncle June Bugg has officially passed away after a long bout with colon cancer.
The 70-year-old mentor of the Doggfather died on Sunday (March 30), according to his nephew Daz Dillinger. He tweeted:
This is a little confusing because we reported on March 22 that Snoop Dogg went on Twitter to announce that June Bugg had died. But it looks like he might have been still battling cancer. Doctors had given June Bugg one day to live but he held on for a week longer than expected.
Thankfully, the 'Gin & Juice' rapper was able to see his uncle and he reportedly acknowledged Snoop's presence before he died.
Uncle June Bugg was an adviser to Snoop Dogg and often joined him on tour as his background dancer. He also starred in 'Snoop's Upside Your Head' video from 'Tha Doggfather' album.
Initially, upon hearing the sad news of June Bugg's death, friends and family expressed their condolences on Twitter.
"Enjoyed watching big homie do his stuff on stage. Prayers 2 @SnoopDogg @DAZDILLINGER and family. RIP. #UNCLEJUNEBUG," tweeted Kendrick Lamar.
"RIP To June Bugg.... Say A Prayer Fo @snoopdogg He Just Lost His Uncle.. A Legend…," wrote TraeThatTruth.
Funeral arrangements for Uncle June Bugg are pending.

We're just 5 hours away from midnight but we've finally got something that we could call concrete as to what exactly has been announced at the press conference held earlier today. Until it is announced properly at midnight, we will continue to update this post.
|Click to Enlarge
Update 4: The episodes are now available on iTunes!
The Web Of Fear here.
The Enemy of the World here.
Update 3: The Independent has published (and then pulled) the story. Of note is the mention of prices (£1.89 per episode or £9.99 per serial) and the comments from Phillip Morris and BBC Worldwide.
"Asked whether viewers might also see the recovered episodes, without having to pay Apple £1.89 per episode or £9.99 to download the complete stories, BBC Worldwide said licence-fee payers had already enjoyed a chance to watch the programmes in the late 60s."
Phillip Morris couldn't be at the event so he left the message "I cannot be with you as the search is endless. My work must continue."
You can see the full article in the hastily put together image to the right or on Google Cache here.
Update 2: BBC Worldwide have pulled the DVD-quality Loose Cannon reconstructions for Enemy of the World and The Web Of Fear from YouTube.
Update 1: The Northern Echo just posted an apology note about the broken embargo mistake, with a phone call from BBCWW helping seal the articles fate tonight, not due to "inconsistencies" as has been mentioned already. Some more credit to the accidental leak?
The Northern Echo just posted (and subsequently removed) an article on the missing episodes stating that all of The Enemy of the World and almost all of The Web Of Fear have been returned and remastered, including comments from Phillip Morris. As usual, until it is confirmed officially please take with a pinch of salt. Here it is in full below:
FOUR decades ago, Dr Who's encounter with the mythical Yeti left a generation of children terrified and enthralled.
The six part serial Web of Fear became one of the best-loved serials of the Patrick Troughton era.
Sadly, in the 1970s the well-travelled time lord faced an enemy far deadlier than the Daleks - BBC beancounters.
In an effort to save money, tapes of classic shows were wiped and recorded over.
In a matter of months some of the Doctor's greatest adventures were lost... seemingly forever.
The Web of Fear is one of the most missed serials, along with another Troughton era adventure, The Power of the Daleks.
But now all six missing episodes have been found - in a dusty storeroom in Nigeria.
The previously lost nine shows were among 11 traced to a television relay station and the find brings back to life an entire six-episode story, while another is almost complete.
The newly found programmes - which introduce the character of Alistair Lethbridge-Stewart, better known to audiences as The Brigadier - will be available on iTunes from today and will later come out on DVD.
Phillip Morris, the director of Television International Enterprises Archive, unearthed the programmes by looking up the records of overseas shipments of tapes made by the BBC.
The stories, The Enemy Of The World (1967) and The Web Of Fear (1968) and both starring Patrick Troughton as the second Doctor, have now been remastered by BBC Worldwide, the corporation's commercial arm.
Mr Morris said: ''I remember wiping the dust off the masking tape on the canisters and my heart missed a beat as I saw the words Doctor Who. When I read the story code, I realised I'd found something pretty special.'' Only one episode of The Enemy Of The World - which featured Deborah Watling as companion Victoria and Frazer Hines, later to find fame in Emmerdale as Jamie - had remained in the archives, so the addition of programmes one, two, four, five and six have completed the story.
Fiona Eastwood, director of consumer products, BBC Worldwide, said: ''We are thrilled with the recent discovery of The Web Of Fear and The Enemy Of The World and we're very happy to be launching re-mastered versions of these treasured episodes to fans as we celebrate the 50th year of Doctor Who.'' The BBC still had the first edition in the Web Of Fear story, and the new finds mean only number three is missing. The tale introduced Nicholas Courtney as Lethbridge-Stewart, who began with the rank of Colonel but later became Brigadier.
The missing episode has been recreated using 37 still images which were available and the original audio which survived.
Many programmes from the era, along with many classic shows, disappeared as a result of efforts to save space. There are still 27 Doctor Who stories which have not been recovered or for which episodes are missing.
The show celebrates its half-century on November 23.

Housing for Canon XF300/305
Posted 07 September 2012 - 09:00 PM
Posted 08 September 2012 - 12:54 AM
One of the great features of the BS Kinetics housings is ONLY 2 o-rings. And they are big fat round o-rings that are easy to inspect and clean. No hidden o-rings building up salt or hiding grains of sand.
So, the lack of a flip filter and the necessary hole through the housing is, IMHO, a good thing.
As far as "red filters" go, this camera does not need one. The WB options, combined with the color-rich 422 footage, give you all you need for good color balance.
You can see from the attached photos how I do macro. The wet lens sits on the top of the housing, out of the way.
Just "flip" off the bungee, "pop" it on the front port, and "stretch" the bungee over the lugs on the side. (actually don't need that last step because the wet lens will stay in position on the port because it is a fine fit - but it keeps the bungee from floating into the image).
So, no flip filter, but it does have a "flip, pop, stretch" macro lens...
Posted 08 September 2012 - 01:13 AM
Wich kind of remote controls have you on housing?
Further to my post above, here is a photo of the controls on the BS Kinetics Takla Makan.
- The red button is start-stop record
- Two buttons below the red are zoom-in and zoom-out
- The button above the red button is auto/manual focus (does an auto-focus-lock)
- Top two buttons are focus in and focus out
- Yellow button is Power up and Power down (long press)
- Button to the right of yellow changes mode as per my previous email
- Two buttons to the left of the yellow button provide the up and down setting for that mode
- Two right most buttons behave according to the mode (e.g. switch from manual to auto exposure)
The mode number for the lower range of buttons is shown to the left of the monitor.
Sounds a bit complex when you first read it but, after sitting at the table playing with them for an hour or two, it becomes second-nature to get the setting done quickly. The buttons are labelled and BS Kinetics provides a table of functions but you wont look at them after the first few dives...
For completeness, I have added a photo of the housing underside too. Here you can see:
- The 4 weight pockets, each holding 1 kg dive weight. This enables you to travel light and add the weight when you get to the dive boat / resort. Having 4 kg below the housing keeps it very stable.
- The monopod - just twist, extend, position and twist to lock. Essential for good macro
- The extensible brass clips to hang the housing off the front of the BCD for hands-free ascents, etc.
- The macro lens in place on the front flat port.
David Cheong of ScubaCam helped me do all the extra bits and pieces needed to change this from a good housing to a great housing...

Just used this port in Papua shooting whale sharks. The footage is amazing...
Posted 08 September 2012 - 07:27 PM
A couple more quick questions...
- How coarse are the manual focus buttons? Can you do nice small increments when adjusting the focus and have you got access to peaking?
- What's the situation re. ND filters? I'm reading that the XF100 has auto ND filters. Any problems with blown out highlights?

Like most magnetic external buttons, they do have a fairly long "throw", about 0.5 of a cm. For most cases, that's fine, you just plunge them down as required. For fine manual focus, it does take some getting used to. I learned to push them about half-way and then give small taps to get it right. But, 95% of the time, I focus with the "auto-focus-lock" feature. I lock it on my fin, a buddy or a coral head for wide angle work. I lock it on the subject for fine macro work: focus on the critical place, re-position to the right framing and shoot. I find that works fine. Especially helpful for my 55 year-old eyes...
Yes, auto ND but, if you don't like them you can turn them off. I have not had a problem with blown-out highlights. I am editing some footage of a whale shark shot from below with the sun popping into the image around the shark. The camera dealt with it fine. Even the color balance was OK.
Here is simple screen-shot from the editor. It doesn't do the footage justice. In the video, the sun flickers around the whale shark with shafts of light playing around. But, you can see how it handled the extreme highlights.

3 Day Canoe Trip
- Varighet: 3 Dager
- Produktkode: 3Can
Day 1 – Arrive in Algonquin Park
Pickup at Finch Subway Station in Toronto (optional – you can drive yourself to Algonquin Park). We meet at 1pm at the Permit Office at Rock Lake in Algonquin Park. Before we start your guide will instruct everyone on the necessary skills and techniques for canoeing. With your "Expedition weight" kevlar canoes we will paddle into one of the interior lakes of Algonquin Park (Pen Lake). While kevlar canoes are much more fragile than other canoes, requiring you to be careful around rocks, you will appreciate their relative lightness on portages and their speed in the water. This differentiates Call Of The Wild from other canoe tripping companies. Our canoes are much more expensive and fragile, but much lighter and faster than the more durable whitewater canoes they use.
At the end of this three day canoe trip you won't be an expert but you will know how to pack and steer a canoe. After a three hour paddle (including a 300m portage) you will arrive at your wilderness camp. Since this is a true interior wilderness camp you will have to bring everything with you in the canoes, including the tents.Once you establish camp, with the help of your experienced guide, you are free to explore the lake we are on. There are several large rapids that were once used as log chutes that are quite interesting. Also, in this area it is quite common to see moose grazing by the edge of the lake – we have seen over a half dozen moose in a two day period here!
Day 2 – Exploring Algonquin by Canoe
Today is a day of exploration. You can spend it exploring the lake you are on, by canoe, looking for moose, or perhaps do another portage and canoe up a meandering river. If you decide to try another lake one option is to do a short portage past an old dam used for logging, and then canoe the slow moving waters of the South Madawaska River. Since you will have to get out of our canoes to pull them over several beaver dams be sure to bring shoes or sandals for the water! Depending on where you establish your base camp, another option would be to canoe half way down the lake and then do a couple of portages, ending with a 1.7 km hike to Welcome Lake. This is one of the prettiest lakes in Algonquin Park, with a nice sandy beach. Perfect for picnic destination on a sunny day.
Day 3 – Canoeing Home
After an early morning breakfast you pack up camp, load the canoes, and start the paddle home. The early start is a great opportunity to see moose or deer (if you are lucky) coming to the lake shore to drink. You will be backtracking your route through two lakes and one portage, but everything looks different in the opposite direction!Depending on weather and wave conditions you will stop at a cliff face where we will show you some ancient pictographs painted by the Natives centuries ago.

Linux Top Three: Peppermint, Mint and Arch Linux Get Updates
On the commercial side of the Linux Planet, Red Hat, Canonical/Ubuntu and SUSE dominate the landscape. When it comes to the community side however there are a whole lot more choices. This past week three noteworthy Linux distro released their latest milestone releases.
1) Peppermint Three
The goal of Peppermint has long been to have the best of both desktop and cloud worlds. In Peppermint Three that goal is achieved in a number of ways. For cloud based documents, instead of just using Google Docs via the browser, Peppermint Three uses GWoffice.
"This is a desktop Google Docs client that is lightweight and runs completely independent of Chromium," Peppermint Three developer, Kendall Weaver wrote in the release announcement. "It's still beta software, but we feel it offers a great improvement over using Docs from a browser or SSB."
SSB or Site Specific Browser is a great idea that delivers what the name implies – a browser just for a given site/application. Mozilla kinda/sorta tried to do this with Prism a few years back but Peppermint (unlike Mozilla) hasn't given up on the idea.
"SSBs allow an application to function in more of a standalone method than running them directly through the web browser," the PeppermintOS guide explains. "In addition they allow for the user to take advantage of additional screen space as they don't include all the functions and menus of a browser."
Peppermint while full of some great original ideas, also borrows heavily from others. The core distro is based on the LXDE derivative of Ubuntu 12.04 (Lubuntu) thought the update manager is based on one from Linux Mint (itself a one-time derivative of Ubuntu).
2) Linux Mint 13 KDE
Speaking of Linux Mint, that distro also had a release update last week. While Linux Mint is well known for its GNOME based efforts, including MATE and more recently Cinammon, it also support other desktops as well.
Linux Mint KDE is one of those 'other' desktops. Unlike GNOME however, Linux Mint has strayed from the upstream desktop, with KDE it has not. Linux Mint 13 KDE uses a mostly stock KDE 4.8 release.
There is an alternative KDE desktop known as Trinity, which was forked in much the same way that MATE was from GNOME. Trinity remains an effort to keep the KDE 3.x desktop alive, though apparently it's not a cause that Linux Mint KDE officially embraces.
2) Arch Linux 2012.07.15
Unlike other distributions released last week, Arch Linux has a rolling release model. That is, it's a distribution that is continuously updated and built. That said, every so often there is a milestone announcement release that serves as a media update for new installations.
Those new installations will now be a bit more work for new users than the prior media updates.
"Most notable change is that AIF (the Arch Installation Framework) is no longer included but instead some simple install scripts are provided to aid in the installation process," Arch developer Pierre Schmitz wrote in a news release. "This means a menu driven installer is no longer available and we rely more on documentation to guide new users."

Panoramic Perspectives was a joint Exhibition of Panoramic Photography by Barney Meyer, John Warkentin and Natalie Blom held at the Brunswick Street Gallery in Fitzroy (an inner city suburb of Melbourne) Victoria, Australia.
This exhibition featured what we expect were some of the highest resolution and largest prints exhibited in Melbourne.
Victoria is Australia's second smallest State and covers only 3% of Australia's land area but has the second highest population of all States and Territories. Victoria's mainland and islands have a total length of 2,512 kilometres coastline which is about 4.2% of Australia's 59,736 kilometres of coastline. Australia is the driest inhabited continent and Victoria is no exception although the state capital Melbourne has the reputation to have 4 seasons in one day. Victoria is located in the southeast of mainland Australia and includes the most southern point on mainland Australia at Wilsons Promontory National Park.

If you have sampled a handful of these iPod Devotionals you already know that my musical taste is eclectic. That is a kind word for weird. I have rock, oldies, indie, country, Christian, folk, pop and some unclassified on the device. Recently a forgotten oldie caused the neurons to fire oddly in my noggin. The song "The Book of Love" was written and recorded by The Monotones in 1958. Here are some of the lyrics.
Oh, I wonder, wonder who, mmbadoo-ooh, who
Who wrote the Book Of Love
Chapter One says to love her
You love her with all your heart
Chapter Two you tell her you're
Never, never, never, never, never gonna part
In Chapter Three remember the meaning of romance
In Chapter Four you break up
But you give her just one more chance
So there you have it. Before you get to Chapter Five you have already parted ways according to this version of the book of love. By the way, there is a little "boom" sound in the first lyric that is oddly translated "mmbadoo-ooh" above. The story goes that a kid was kicking a ball against the garage while the group was rehearsing and they thought it sounded cool. Inspiration can come for odd sources.
The part of the song that led to today's devotional came in the first lyric. I had never noticed the reference before.
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Oh, who wrote the Book Of Love
I've got to know the answer
Was it someone from above?
That is a good question. I would suggest that the book of love was indeed from above. And not just from someone. The book of love is from God. It is called the Gospel. Truefaced speaker and my friend John Lynch has written a wonderful piece called the New Testament Gamble.
"What if I tell them who they are?" What if I take away any element of fear in condemnation, judgment or rejection"?
"What if I tell them I love them, will always love them? That I love them right now, no matter what they've done, as much as I love my only Son? That there's nothing they can do to make my love go away"?
"What if I tell them there are no lists? What if I tell them I don't keep a log of past offenses, of how little they pray, how often they've let me down, made promises that they don't keep?"
"What if I tell them they are righteous, with my righteousness, right now"?
"What if I tell them they can stop beating themselves up? That they can stop being so formal, stiff and jumpy around me?"
"What if I tell them I'm crazy about them? What if I tell them, even if they run to the ends of the earth and do the most horrible, unthinkable things, that when they come back, I'd receive them with tears and a party"?
"What if I tell them that I am their Savior, they're going to heaven no matter what--it's a done deal?
"What if I tell them they have a new nature--saints, not saved sinners who should now 'buck up and be better' if they were any kind of Christians, after all He's done for you!"
"What if I tell them that I actually live in them now? That I've put my love, power, and nature inside of them, at their disposal?"
"What if I tell them that they don't have to put on a mask? That it is OK to be who they are at this moment, with all their junk. That they don't need to Pretend about how close we are, how much they pray or don't, how much Bible they read or don't?"
"What if they knew they don't have to look over their shoulder for fear if things get to good, the other shoe's gonna drop?"
"What if they knew I will never, ever use the word "punish" in relation to them?"
"What if they knew that when they mess up, I will never 'get back at them'?"
"What if they were convinced that bad circumstances aren't my way of evening the score for taking advantage of me?"
"What if they knew the basis of our friendship isn't how little they sin, but how much they let me love them?"
"What if I tell them they can hurt my heart, but that I never hurt theirs?"
"What if I tell them I like U2's music too?"
"What if I tell them I never really liked the Christmas hand bell deal with the white gloves?"
"What if I tell them they can open their eyes when they pray and still go to heaven?"
"What if I tell them there is no secret agenda, no trapdoor?"
"What if I tell them it isn't about their self-effort, but about allowing me to live my life through them?"
John's words summarize the miracle of grace that is the precious Gospel of Jesus. It was never really a "gamble" because God had planned this from the beginning of time. Jesus wrote the book of love on the Cross. Paul commented on that amazing story in Romans when he stated this startling truth.
For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5, ESV)
Could there be a more stunning book of love than that? While we were still sinners Christ died for us. I am grateful for the Gospel and for grace that makes the real book of love a reality in my life today.

Summer is an important time for the physical and academic well-being of children and teens, but without access to regular nutritious meals, they can suffer long-term consequences, both academically and in overall growth and development. Studies show that children are at higher risk for both hunger and obesity during the summer months.
To meet the needs of Dolores County children and teens, Care and Share Food Bank is once again sponsoring the Summer Food Service Program for children ages 1 to 18.
The program will provide free lunches and snacks Monday through Thursday between May 28 and Aug. 1 at the Dolores County School District.
Lunch will be served from 11 a.m. to noon, and snacks between 1:30 and 2:30 p.m.

The subject of faking his death comes up late on Andy Kaufman's "Andy and His Grandmother," the comic legend's posthumous first album. It happens during a phone conversation between Kaufman and an associate, probably his frequent coconspirator Bob Zmuda, about an album of real-life conversations Kaufman wanted to make. A former girlfriend angrily demands Kaufman hand over the tapes that feature her, but Kaufman refuses, while recording the conversation. He thinks he has a great album on his hands, which would be even better if the woman killed him and the whole story were captured for posterity. The conversation then turns to how Kaufman could find immortality if he faked his death. No one would believe he was dead.
It's an intriguing end to what is undoubtedly one of the strangest albums in recent memory. Kaufman died of lung cancer in 1984, and never got to make an album in his lifetime. But between 1977 and 1979, he recorded 82 hours of conversations and comic sketches to draw from. It's hard to know exactly what the album Kaufman wanted to make would have sounded like, but editor Vernon Chatman (co-creator of MTV2's "Wonder Showzen") waded through all of the tape and came up with the perfect tribute. He strikes exactly the right tone, with an appreciation for Kaufman's ability to provoke anger as much as laughter, adding a few sound effects and some voice-overs with Bill Hader.
Apart from a sketch called "Andy Can Talk to Animals" featuring an angry phone call with a pig, very little of the album is played for obvious laughs. There are cute and prankish conversations with Kaufman's grandmother, including one where he takes her for a ride in his car and winds up in a shouting match with a police officer. Those share space with a postcoital discussion between Kaufman and a lover that covers favorite positions and the possibilities of abortion and marriage, a scene in which Kaufman asks prostitutes out for bowling and pizza in a gimmicky character voice, and a more conceptual, absurdist bit of comedy meant to be enjoyed only by the sleeping.
The heart of the album is a series of conversations with two women in a love triangle with Kaufman. He says at one point that those are the best, most dramatic moments, and also the conversations no one wants him to tape. Indeed, there is one track devoted solely to people yelling at Kaufman to shut off the tape recorder. The screaming and fighting is absolutely cringe-worthy, with a touch of slapstick when each woman's name is replaced with sound effects of a dog barking or a honking horn. It is hard to tell if the participants are really angry or have just decided to play along to assure their role in the show. But that's exactly how Kaufman liked it. And it fits perfectly with the current emphasis in comedy on the awkward and uncomfortable.
On a logical level, it would be absurd to believe Kaufman was able to fake his own death and remain in hiding for almost 30 years. But wouldn't it be wonderful if he had? Wouldn't it be satisfying to that little part of the soul that atrophied with the revelation that Santa Claus isn't real (sorry, kids)? That's where a lot of Kaufman's appeal ultimately lies: his playful but provocative put-ons, seeing what he could get away with. Kaufman didn't tell jokes. He pulled stunts and invited the audience to believe it or not, Ultimately, it didn't matter which; the trick was to engage them in the argument. The trick was the doubt. Long live Andy Kaufman.Nick A. Zaino III can be reached at nick@

Is it possible to fix laptop memory slot failure with a guitar pick? Yes, it is. You will not fix the memory slot itself, but you can work around the problem. 🙂
Today I received a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop with the following complaint:
The laptop starts and works properly, but recognizes only one of the two memory modules installed. The laptop has two 256MB RAM modules installed, but registers only 256MB.
First of all, I removed the memory cover to find out if both memory modules are installed correctly. The laptop had two 256MB Kingston modules installed and they were seated properly.
When I started the laptop and entered the BIOS setup menu, I found that only one of the two memory modules is detected and the laptop registers only 256MB (262144KB) of RAM instead of 512MB (524288KB).
Just a side note. In the computer world 1MB=1024KB. That's why 256MB=262144KB and 512MB=524288KB.
I tried reseating both memory modules but it didn't help.
After that I tried installing both memory modules in both memory slots one by one and here's what I found. The laptop worked absolutely fine when both memory modules were installed into the slot A, but failed to boot with both memory modules installed into the slot B.
Apparently, there is nothing wrong with the memory modules and the laptop has a faulty memory slot B. The memory slot is permanently soldered on the motherboard. If one of the slots fails you'll have to replace the whole motherboard or use the laptop with only one working slot.
Buying a new motherboard for this older laptop wouldn't make any sense because it's too expensive, but the laptop is still in a good working condition except the faulty memory slot B, so I continued playing with that trying to find the solution.
I noticed that the laptop start normally with the memory module installed into the faulty slot if I slightly press on the module with my thumb. And this gave me an idea.
This guitar pick is going to fix my laptop. 🙂
I installed both RAM modules back into the slots and then placed the guitar pick over the module in the slot B as it shown on the picture.
I thought if I close the RAM door it will press on the guitar pick/memory module and it will have the same effect as pressing on the module with my thumb. And it worked!
Both memory modules were detected properly and the laptop registered all 512MB. After "the fix" I tested memory with Memtest86+ and the laptop passed the test.
I wouldn't call it the best solution for fixing a faulty memory slot but in some cases it will work.
By the way, I didn't charge the customer for this "repair", he knows what is going on and how I "fixed" his problem.

I have talked about "my quilt" a couple of times and use it at a backdrop when I am "hangin' out" with my cousin Dear MYRTLE.
As you can see, it was a Christmas present from my older daughter Carrie Worthington. She captured, in this one quilt, the pieces of my life, I'll share parts of this quilt here.
Music to my Dad, she says.
That is the boarder and background to this side of the quilt. Music has been a large part of my life. For example, I went through the US Coast Guard boot camp, in Cape May, NJ as a member of the marching band. Of course 4 years of high school and 2 years of college playing in the band and orchestra in both didn't hurt. But singing is what I have done more of.
Started out in a church choir with my brother and Grandfather. My dad, couldn't carry a note in a bucket, but he was the crucifer for the choir. I also sang Barbershop Quartet music in several chorus' and several quartets for about 15 years. Competed with a chorus in 1982 where we placed 2nd internationally.
But, lets go back a generation to pick up my mother in this quilt.
She loved horses and had a number of them over her life. So, Carrie's grandmother was remembered.
What about my dad? Besides a round or two of golf, it was about fishing.
OK, I like fishing too. But, this also picked up that her other grandfather owned a fish store, here in NJ.
I was a scout. Did that help me in the US Coast Guard? Oh yeah.
Oh yeah, the Coast Guard is here with all of this nautical stuff
She didn't miss to show one of her skills, but the skills of her mother.
Of course, she didn't miss herself and sister Jennie
and a few years later
Speaking of kids, and I have not clue where she got this one from
I think this was at Easter, Lionville, PA about 1946 or so.
Did I mention we lived in Washington DC for 15 years, and both daughters were born there?
We may live in New Jersey, but Jenn and I are still Redskins fans.
Can't forget out camping years
My 30 years working for AT&T wasn't missed.
Jumping ahead many years, Carrie's wedding with Jenn and my parents.
Maine was / is a favorite place to visit, so shortly after Patti and I were married, we went to visit the home of one of my ancestor's in Southwest Harbor, the Mountain House on the Carroll Homestead. Did I mention that Patti also does family history research?
You just can't drive down the road and pass a cemetery without stopping.
Can't forget the Grand Pup's
But, what about Genealogy?
You put that all together and you have:
Thank you Carrie !!

Moving from financial access to health
Over the past decade, the push for financial inclusion has united governments, companies, technology entrepreneurs, and nonprofit organizations in dozens of countries on every continent — and with remarkable success. In 2011, only 51 percent of the world's adults had a formal bank account. By 2017, as the World Bank recently reported in its new Global Findex data, we've reached 69 percent — that is 1.2 billion more people who are now connected to the modern economy.
As more people in emerging markets gain access to the formal financial system — fueled by the increased penetration of the mobile phone and associated digital financial services — the pace of financial inclusion is accelerating. At this rate, we're on track to reach universal financial access by 2020, a goal set by the World Bank, which is an important success milestone. Access to basic financial services, such as a bank account, credit, and insurance, is a crucial step in improving people's social and economic outlook.

ZK-383 submachine gun, left side
ZK-383 submachine gun, right side
ZK-383P submachine gun; note that it has no facilities to mount a bipod
ZK-383H submachine gun of post-WW2 manufacture, with bottom-feed magazine that can be folded forward for carrying
The ZK-383 submachine gun was developed during late 1930s by Czechoslovak arms designers brothers Koucky, who at the time worked at the Zbrojovka Brno arms factory. Produced since 1938, this submachine gun was exported to certain smaller European countries, as well as to Latin America (most notably the Venezuela and Bolivia). Production of the ZK-383 continued at Brno during German occupation, with most wartime guns being supplied to German Waffen-SS troops and occupation police forces. The ZK-383 was also briefly produced after the war, before being replaced in production with more modern and compact weapons such as Cz. Vz.48 / Sa 23. One of most notable European users of ZK-383 was the Bulgarian army, which used these guns until about 1966. The ZK-383 is an interesting weapon because it was initially developed more like a squad support weapon rather than an individual weapon - it was heavy, solidly made, and capable of some serious firepower (considering the pistol ammunition used, of cause). It was also fitted with 'long range' rifle type sights and integral folding bipod. there also were two later versions of the ZK-383 - the 'Police' ZK-383P which had no bipod, and post-war ZK-383H which also had no bipod and had folding forward magazine housing below the receiver (rather than fixed housing on the left side). Total production of all three versions of ZK-383 is estimated as no less than 20,000 guns.
The ZK-383 submachine gun is blowback operated, selective fired weapon. Unlike most other submachine guns, it had a quick-detachable barrel, with barrel lock / release mechanism located in the front sight base, at the front of the barrel jacket.ZK-383 fired from open bolt, and featured removable bolt weight which, when removed, increased cyclic rate of fire from about 500 to roughly 700 rounds per minute. Feed was from box magazines, inserted from the left side, with magazine slightly canted down, ejection was to the right. Manual safety was made in the form of the cross-bolt button located above the trigger, and fire mode selector was located on the left side of the receiver, above and to the front of the trigger. Gun was quipped with two-piece wooden stock and folding bipod, which was attached to the barrel jacket. When folded, bipod was partly concealed within the cut made in the bottom of the forend. Sights were adjustable for range between 50 and 600 meters.

Yesterday, Brig. Gen. Patrick O'Reilly, deputy director of the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency, said that Iran and North Korea are working together to develop long-range missiles capable of delivering their nuclear weapons. Bill Gertz reports:
North Korea test fired a long-range Taepodong missile in July, and Iran is working on a space launcher that would help develop an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) that could hit the U.S.
"Not only North Korea, but Iran has shown some significant developments in their [own] missile systems," Gen. O'Reilly said in a speech to the George C. Marshall Institute. "They are working in concert with the North Koreans," he said. "They have made a claim that they are working towards developing a space launch capability, which also would give them an ICBM capability."
The Pentagon believes Iran has a "new intermediate-range ballistic missile or space launch vehicle [SLV] in development," a Missile Defense Agency briefing slide stated.
The Iranians are "likely to develop an ICBM/SLV [and] could have an ICBM capable of reaching the U.S. before 2015," according to the briefing chart.
A day or two ago, Hillary Clinton demanded, in her usual schoolyard-bully manner, that President Bush resolve the situation in Iraq before he leaves office, rather than leaving it for the next administration. If she had any sense, she would be demanding that he do something about Iran, rather than leaving that problem for the next administration–potentially, hers. Of course, if she did that, someone might ask her to make a constructive suggestion as to what, exactly, the administration should do about Iran, and thereby violate the Democrats' strict code of silence on that topic.

What do baseball, rock 'n' roll, and the WWE have in common?
Nope? Give up? God, this is too easy.
Well, each of these fine cultural institutions has its own official Hall of Fame.
(As a side-quest, see if you can guess which Hall of Fame legendary US outfielder Pete Rose belongs to. Clue: it's not the one you think.)
All-time greats
Inspired by these three great establishments and fuelled by equal measures of alcohol and nostalgia, the powers that be at Steel Media decided to establish a Pocket Gamer Hall of Fame in August 2012.
In this venerable Hall, we celebrate the contribution of brilliant writers who have risen to prominence on these hallowed PG pages and left an indelible impression on the site's readership. A veritable who's who of the mobile games business, if you will.

This may totally shock you but I do have a life outside of loving NASCAR…shut up I actually do! I LOVE to write. And I LOVE photography. And I LOVE crafting of all types. I write daily (not necessarily here or in a public arena really even) so you will just have to trust me when I tell you that. Every single day- I have done some sort of writing. I am taking photography classes to get better there- so I don't do it daily but usually weekly because I have an assignment or five to turn in. So naturally crafting has kind of taken a back seat lately only because I do have a real job too and and Roxy and two adorable nephews that I love to play with and you know…sleep which is also good. Oh and did I mention I have this thing for baking too? I do. I love to bake because it's an exact science of measuring and following directions (unless you are my dad- who is the only person I know who can throw stuff in a mixing bowl haphazardly and end up with delicious cookies no matter what he throws in the bowl or how much). Ok so technically sometimes the love of writing and the photography thing intermix with NASCAR but they are actually also totally independent of each other. Really!
Anyway- today I got a little crazy and signed up for an online CROCHET-ALONG where we will get weekly clues as to what to crochet and by the time it's over we will have made a blanket. No problem right? I mean I know how to crochet. I haven't actually crocheted anything in over a year or maybe even more now that I think about it. But I have been wanting to pick up a hook again. I mean why NOT? So maybe I haven't EVER made anything as big as an afghan before- there is always a first time for everything right?
Well that is what my crazy right-brain side of me is saying anyway. The smart (albeit slightly anal) left-side brain is screaming things like DUDE ARE YOU SERIOUS? Another project? Really? It's not like you don't have FIVE different things you are currently writing (including this blog), and don't you have THREE different photography assignments you are working on? And when do you plan to sleep? Because this is actually the BUSY TIME of the year at work and they just included you on that new assignment that will probably be a lot of work. CRAZY! YOU ARE CRAZY! Oh and did you not forget that you are going to races in October and November AND champions week in Vegas? When will you have the time? When??????
So yeah- I am slightly crazy and added another thing to my plate but this will be FUN! And an ADVENTURE! Because not only have I not made anything as big as an afghan before BUT I also haven't ever crocheted anything without a solid pattern (with pictures) before I started. So it will be odd. Not knowing what it's suppose to look like while I am actually making it…so it could all go really wrong. I will keep you all updated on my progress.

Where is the Best Place to Get a Flu Shot in Sioux Falls?
SIOUX FALLS - With South Dakota experiencing widespread cases of flu and flu-related hospitalization rates climbing, the City of Sioux Falls Health Department, in partnership with local hospitals and health care systems, wants to remind people that it is not too late to be vaccinated against influenza.
Anyone older than six months of age who has not been vaccinated against the flu should be vaccinated as soon as possible. By getting your flu shot, you are protecting yourself and your loved ones by helping to prevent the spread of the flu. Flu vaccine is the most effective protection against the flu. It is especially important for those who live with or care for people who are at high risk for flu-related complications to be immunized.
People who develop influenza-like symptoms, which include high fever, cough, severe body aches, fatigue, and runny nose, are encouraged to see their doctor as soon as symptoms develop for treatment that can help lessen the severity and duration of the illness. People at high risk for complications, such as young children, woman who are pregnant, people who are morbidly obese, or people that have chronic health conditions should be seen early if they have symptoms.
For the overall safety and protection of patients and staff, the health care coalition is asking anyone with flu-like symptoms not to visit patients at our local hospitals at this time.
For more information about the flu or where you can be vaccinated, contact Avera Health's Ask-A-Nurse (1-800-658-3535), Sanford Health's My Sanford Nurse (333-4444), or your health care provider.
-- Courtesy of the City of Sioux Falls
You can also get flu shots at your local pharmacy. However, due to higher than expected demand, we recommend that you contact your closest pharmacy to check availability and/or to schedule an appointment if necessary.
