For his breathtaking project "Atypical," the Warsaw, Poland-based illustrator and graphic designer Pawel Nolbert creates a typeface unlike any other. Composed of globular, thick brushstrokes saturated with dense color, his letters take on a tangible and material form, becoming what he calls "half-realistic, half-illustrative figurative sculptures." For the series, the artist, who is also an art director, photographed paint splatters, and he later enhanced them and added depth through digital manipulation.
What emerges from Nolbert's compelling work is a refreshing and visceral take on the written word, which in our contemporary culture can seem stale and lifeless. Here, language becomes physical as the body, writhing and twisting with vivid pleasure. The two dimensions of the page become the three, with thick, textured lines overlapping and creating an unexpected depth of field. Displaying an impressive grasp on color theory, the artist uses cognitive and perceptual tricks to extend the letters and numbers into three dimensionality. Complimentary colors are layered atop one another, creating an engaging visual dynamic: orange is paired with blue, purple with yellow, and green with red.
In a cultural landscape in which we are constantly bombarded with images, language moves to the wayside, and yet Nolbert finds a way to reclaim our attentions and bring us back to the fundamentals of words, letters, and numerals. Dancing about and leaping from the page, spewing paint in unexpected directions, his "Atypical" posters remind us of the vitality and creative potential inherent in verbal expression. Take a look.

The New Kent High School Lady Trojans ended their season with a three-game loss to the Chancellor, the Battlefield District Champion and #2 seed in the Region 1 tournament. New Kent jumped to an early lead in the first game, taking advantage of Chancellor hitting and serving errors to score off their own attacks. But Chancellor got over their early game jitters and finished strongly with tough serving to take the game 25-21. In the second game Chancellor dominated the Lady Trojans with a strong serving game that completely took New Kent out of their offensive system. But the Lady Trojans, who's hallmark has been to never give up, battled back in the third game, again getting some aces and kills of their own, while not quite being able to secure the win and extend the match.
Chancellor advances to the Region I championship match against Jamestown on Saturday. The Daily Press indicated on Friday that the match will be played at Jamestown High School at 2:00 pm, but this should be confirmed.

With the New Kent JV team down a game and York serving for the match, both varsity teams were lined up and anxious to take the court and start their warmups. But the Lady Trojan JV team rallied behind the serving of Rachel Baldwin to win four straight points and the second game 26-24, sending the Varsity teams back to the auxillary gym while the JVs played the deciding third game.
New Kent won the toss and Court Captain Amanda Branch elected to serve in the third game while the York Falcons decided to switch sides to the "winning" court. But the Lady Trojans took full advantage of the serving opportunity and moved out to a 11 to 1 lead in the 15-point third game behind the serving and setting of Megan Weaver (3 points) and Rachel Baldwin (8 points). York rallied briefly behind their second sever who got them to 11-6, but the Lady Trojans required only two more rotations to close out the win 15-7 with three serves by Sarah Barnett.
The win improves the New Kent JV record to 6-3 going into the final match of the front half of the season, away at Tabb next Tuesday, September 23rd.
In the second match of the night, the Lady Trojan varsity won in three including 25-4 in a near perfect second game that saw only on digging error and two errors on jump serves. The first game saw an even attack distribution from the Lady Trojans with Sharda Braxton recording 5 kills, Ashton Wallace 4 kills, Courtney Jamerson 4 kills, and Hillary Metheny 2 kills. Setter Rachel Day benefited from her hitters' performance by tallying 12 assists and a .414 setting efficiency for the game.
The second game was a "serve fest" with jump-server Jessica Phaup finding a grove that resulted in 15 New Kent points including eight aces. Braxton and Wallace added another 4 kills each while Day contributed 3 and took credit for another 7 assists. New Kent's attack efficiency for the game was .750 as a team.
The third game saw Head Coach Cyndi Burnett switch to a 6-2 offense with sophomore Lena Ciaravino sharing the setting responsibilities with Day. Directing a balanced attack that saw six players tally kills, Ciaravino recorded 4 assists on 7 sets for a .571 setting efficiency. Junior varsity rookie Jalesa Johnson swung for 4 kills, junior Karianne Burcham recorded 2 kills and 2 aces from the MB position, while sophomore Meagan Clark also recorded a kill from the outside.
With the win, the Lady Trojan record improves to 8-1 and they remain in second in Bay Rivers, one match behind leader Jamestown. The Falcons fall to 8-2 and ninth place in the eleven team district. They are off on Tuesday.
Tuesday, September 16
Both the New Kent varsity and JV volleyball teams staved off final game runs by the Islanders of Poquoson High School to secure 3-0 and 2-0 victories respectively in their matches at New Kent High School on September 16. The Poquoson JVs started the match with a 5-2 record and ended tied with the Lady Trojan JV who improved to 5-3 with the victory. The Poquoson varsity entered the gym with a 5-2 record in sole possesion of third place in the Bay Rivers District and left the gym in a four-way tie for third with Grafton, Lafayette, and Tabb. Meanwhile the Lady Trojan varsity moves retains a firm grip on second place with a 7-1 record just a game behind district leader Jamestown.
New Kent Head Coach Cynthia Burnett commented, "The coaches were happy to keep this match to three games. Poquoson has been a spoiler this season, taking Grafton and Tabb five games and winning a game from Jamestown. Winning this match puts us two wins ahead of the four teams tied for third and only one loss behind Jamestown."
Varsity stats leaders for the night included Rachel Day with 26 assists, 3 kills, 2 blocks, and 4 aces; Ashton Wallace with 11 kills, 6 digs, and 1 ace; Sharda Braxton with 7 kills, 2 blocks, and 3 aces; Jessica Phaup with 6 kills, 10 digs, and 10 aces; Courtney Jamerson with 5 kills, 1 assist, and 1 ace; Hillary Metheny with 2 kills, 1 assist, and 1 ace; and Casey O'Leary with 13 digs.

The Falcon varsity enters Thursday's match with a 2-7 record in ninth place in the Bay Rivers District.
Monday, September 15
The New Kent varsity volleyball team survived two close matches to sweep their opponents in a rare three-match week.
The week started with the Lady Trojans hosting Warhill in a game that was postponed from the second week of the season due to both school's gyms being out-of-commission. Warhill entered the match with a 2-2 record having beaten Southampton and York while losing to Jamestown and Grafton. Midway throught the first game, New Kent appeard to be in control of the match with a seven point lead when Warhill setter Michelle Bottles rotated to the service line. Before the Lady Trojans could get control of a Bottles serve and win a sideout, Warhill had surged into the lead, winning the game 25-22.
New Kent recovered in the second game, just managing a 25-23 win. The momentum continued to swing throughout the match with Warhill winning the third game 26-24 while New Kent finally managed a more comfortable 25-20 win in the fourth game. In the deciding game, New Kent started off fast, but Warhill fought back with the Lady Trojans just prevailing 15-12.
New Kent had an easier time in the second match of the week on Tuesday, September 9 when the Lady Trojans swept the Southampton Indians 25-8, 25-13, 25-20. Commented New Kent varsity Head Coach Cynthia Burnett, "While the competative games like yesterday's [Wahill match] are great for the fans and players; coaches live for games like tonight's. We got to play everyone, practice some different lineups, and move some players into alternate positions. The game scores got closer as the match progressed, but our bench got some good playing time which will prepare them to step in later in the season."
But the third match of the week at Lafayette High School was another nail biter with New Kent falling behind 1-2 at the end of three games 25-23, 21-25, 18-25. With a "do or die" situation facing them, the Lady Trojans rallied in the fourth game to win by a more comfotable eight-point margin 25-17. In the deciding game, New Kent again moved into an early lead only to see the Rams challenge late in the game and work back to two-point margin before losing 15-12.
For the week, stats leaders were: Ashton Wallace with 35 kills, 3 assists, 16 digs, and 3 blocks; Sharda Braxton with 27 kills, 2 assists, 5 digs, and 14 aces; Rachel Day with 88 assists, 7 kills, 29 digs, 3 blocks, and 14 aces; Casey O'Leary with 36 digs, 3 assists.

The New Kent varsity volleyball team showed strength and depth during their season premiere at the James River High School Jamboree this Saturday. In their first competition of the season, the Lady Trojans tallied a 5-3 record against four Richmond-metro AAA schools. After a slow start against Cosby, the Lady Trojans only lost one other game in three matches, winning games against James River, Hermitage, and Atlee High Schools.
In the first game of each match, Head Coach Cynthia Burnett employed the 5-1 (single-setter) offense the Lady Trojans used during the 2007 season using 2007 first team all-district setter Rachel Day. Seniors Shardä Braxton and Ashton Wallace filled the M1 and O1 positions while seniors Hillary Metheny and Casey O'Leary filled the Opposite and Libero positions respectively. The first game lineup was completed with the addition of juniors Courtney Jamerson and Jessica Phaup at the M2 & O2 positions.
In the second game of each match, Coach Burnett employed a 6-2 (two-setter) offense with sophomore Lena Ciaravino taking on the second setter duties while a variety of players including juniors Karianne Burcham and Grace Belcher and sophomore Megan Clark saw action as the sixth hitter. Senior defensive specialist Brittany Strimple saw action as both a Libero and backrow sub while junior utility player Jalesa Johnson filled in as both DS and OH.
Assistant Coach Stuart Burnett commented, "We had trouble setting up a scrimmage this year due to our two main gyms being under construction. Midlothian Head Coach Mary Allen told us about the James River Jamboree at the VCU Team Camp. We called the James River coach that night. Micah (JRHS Head Volleyball Coach Micah White) needed one more team and was excited to add a 'new face' to the mix. Micah coaches for the Diamonds club and was familiar with the New Kent Juniors teams, so he knew we could compete with the AAA schools already committed to attending."
"It was a great opportunity for us to get in some real match play early in the season," said Head Coach Cynthia Burnett. "We got to see four different teams, work on both of our offenses and defenses, and everyone got good playing time. I was especially pleased with the performance of our juniors and sophomores. We were able to sub and keep our level of play at the high standard set by last season's starters."
Assistant Coach Stuart Burnett continued, "It was nice to show the Richmond volleyball community what a good team New Kent has. Many of the coaches at the Jamboree are friends going back over 20 years to our playing days at RVC or my ref'ing days when Group A & AA used to play in the winter and I ref'ed at the AAA schools in the fall. And we've already had one inquiry about scrimmaging one of the teams at the tournament next year."
The Lady Trojan varsity will next see action in a scrimmage at Mathews HS at 6:00 pm on Thursday, August 21. The JV team will also scrimmage Mathews, but they will play at another Mathews school gym at the same time. Check the Locations page for directions to Mathews High School.

Wednesday, August 6

Our returning juniors and sophomore will be competing for starting positions and give the team depth at every position. Our two new team members are picking up the varsity systems quickly.

Mr. Natsios previously served at USAID, first as the Director of the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance from 1989 to 1991 and then as Assistant Administrator for the Bureau of Food and Humanitarian Assistance (now the Bureau of Democracy, Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance) from 1991 to 1993.
From 2000 to 2001 Mr. Natsios, while he was Chairman of the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, also served as the Chief Executive Officer of Boston's Big Dig, the largest construction project in American history. He took the project over after $2.4 billion in undisclosed cost overruns were discovered. Prior to that, he served from 1999-2000 as Secretary for Administration and Finance for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
From 1993 to 1998 Mr. Natsios was Vice President of World Vision U.S., the largest faith-based non-governmental organization in the world, with programs in 103 countries. From 1987 to 1989 he was Executive Director of the Northeast Public Power Association in Milford, Massachusetts.
Mr. Natios served in the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1975 to 1987 and was named legislator of the year by the Massachusetts Municipal Association (1978), the Massachusetts Association of School Committees (1986), and Citizens for Limited Taxation (1986).
Mr. Natsios is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government where he received a master's degree in public administration. In 2002 he received an honorary doctorate from Georgetown University.
The author of numerous articles on foreign policy and humanitarian emergencies, Mr. Natsios has also written two books, U.S. Foreign Policy and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (Center for Strategic and International Studies, 1997), and The Great North Korean Famine (U.S. Institute of Peace, 2001).
After serving 23 years in the U.S. Army Reserves as a civil affairs officer, Mr. Natsios retired in 1995 with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He is a veteran of the first Gulf War.
Because of his meritorious public service and humanitarian efforts and because of his commitment to justice and peace, Reverend President, I hereby recommend Andrew S. Natsios for the Marquette University degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa.

Compute uses the nova-scheduler service to determine how to dispatch compute requests. For example, the nova-scheduler service determines on which host a VM should launch. In the context of filters, the term host means a physical node that has a nova-compute service running on it. You can configure the scheduler through a variety of options.
Compute is configured with the following default scheduler options in the /etc/nova/nova.conf file:
By default, the scheduler_driver is configured as a filter scheduler, as described in the next section. In the default configuration, this scheduler considers hosts that meet all the following criteria:
The scheduler caches its list of available hosts; use the scheduler_driver_task_period option to specify how often the list is updated.
Do not configure to be much smaller than ; otherwise, hosts appear to be dead while the host list is being cached.
For information about the volume scheduler, see the Block Storage section of
Cheap Real Eastbay Sale 2018 Unisex TSE Knit Cashmere Vest Latest Collections Online RbXkzANDzF
The scheduler chooses a new host when an instance is migrated.
When evacuating instances from a host, the scheduler service honors the target host defined by the administrator on the evacuate command. If a target is not defined by the administrator, the scheduler determines the target host. For information about instance evacuation, see Evacuate instances section of the OpenStack Administrator Guide.
The filter scheduler () is the default scheduler for scheduling virtual machine instances. It supports filtering and weighting to make informed decisions on where a new instance should be created.
When the filter scheduler receives a request for a resource, it first applies filters to determine which hosts are eligible for consideration when dispatching a resource. Filters are binary: either a host is accepted by the filter, or it is rejected. Hosts that are accepted by the filter are then processed by a different algorithm to decide which hosts to use for that request, described in the Weights section.
The scheduler_available_filters configuration option in nova.conf provides the Compute service with the list of the filters that are used by the scheduler. The default setting specifies all of the filter that are included with the Compute service:
This configuration option can be specified multiple times. For example, if you implemented your own custom filter in Python called myfilter.MyFilter and you wanted to use both the built-in filters and your custom filter, your nova.conf file would contain:

Lampard set to miss Sparta clash
Frank Lampard will have to wait to score his 200th goal for Chelsea as interim manager Rafael Benitez has chosen to rest the midfielder for Thursday's Europa League tie against Sparta Prague.
Lampard's Stamford Bridge future may be in doubt but the 34-year-old's goal scoring prowess is not, having fired five goals in his last six games for the Blues. That run has seen Lampard move just three goals shy of Bobby Tambling's all-time record of 202 for Chelsea - a target Benitez fully expects Lampard to pass before his contract runs out at the end of the season.
Benitez plans to rest him for the last-32 tie with Sparta, for which the west Londoners boast a one-goal lead from last week's first leg, but - with Sunday's trip to second-place Manchester City clearly in mind - the Blues boss said: "Lampard will not be in the squad tomorrow because we have to manage it a little bit."
Benitez added: "If he can score a lot of goals it will be fantastic for him and will be fantastic for us.
"Everybody knows that he is close. I am sure they will try to help if they have a chance. If we have a penalty, he can take it and things like this.
"But the main thing is he's doing well, scoring goals. We have more competition now and that's good for me. It's a problem, but a good one because we have too many games, so to have many players available is good."
Lampard has impressed Benitez since his November arrival, scoring a goal in almost every other game under the interim boss. His importance to the side is clear and similar to the role played by Steven Gerrard during the Spaniard's time at the Liverpool helm.
"In terms of liking to score goals and their timing getting into the box is really good, that's their similarity," Benitez said. "Both are offensive midfielders who can score every game.
"They can take penalties, free-kicks and can still score in open play. They are two great players.
"It's important to have these kind of players, they are good professionals, who train properly and stay fit. He's doing that so I have to manage him."

Dixon refusing to dwell on poor start
Paul Dixon insists Scotland will focus on picking up as many points as possible for the remainder of their World Cup qualifying campaign rather than dwell on a poor start.
The Tartan Army had hoped for six points from two qualifiers at Hampden against Serbia and Macedonia but Craig Levein's men were able to take just one point from each of their opening two matches.
Next up is a double-header away from home against Wales and Belgium next month, and Dixon said: "I'm sure we can understand the frustration but we are unbeaten and there are still 24 points to play for. We will be focused on trying to get as many of those 24 points as we can."
The Huddersfield full-back, who made his international debut against Serbia on Saturday, was keen to focus on the positives despite the 1-1 draw against Macedonia following the weekend goalless stalemate.
He added: "It's a draw, we are unbeaten again. We created plenty of chances and it's just a case of taking those chances.
"The positive thing is that we are making the chances."
Scotland may trail Serbia, Belgium and Croatia by two points in Group A but Christophe Berra refused to entertain suggestions that hopes of reaching Brazil in 2014 are all but over already.
The defender said: "I think that's stupid talk, let's be honest. There is a long, long way to go.
"Scotland, in the past, have went away and won big games so why can't we do it again?
"We've got the players to do it and we will be looking forward to it."

"Pittsburgh, to me, has always been one of the cities in America that tells the story of America, from the times of Native Americans, the pioneers, the boatmen, the immigrants, the men and women of the iron and steel industries — the work and the sweat, the injuries and the deaths — that, in one way or another, built Pittsburgh and, in substantial ways, built this country. The excellent historian Charles McCollester has painstakingly assembled a new — and different — history of Pittsburgh, and by so doing has assembled in a remarkable way a history of this country. This is a history of ordinary people — of men and women, blacks and whites — not just alleged great white men — and of the men and women of the American labor movement — who created the fascinating city of Pittsburgh and did so much to create this country. I applaud Mr. McCollester's efforts, and its product, enormously, for this is a history that has not been written before. I urge Pittsburghers — and Americans — to read it."
William Serrin, author
Homestead: The Glory and the Tragedy of an American Steel Town.
This book tells an epic story. The Point of Pittsburgh is about how one city was the key to the industrial development that made the United States a world power and how the struggle of the regions people for democratic rights and a decent standard of living was central to the creation of the American middle-class.
Many books have been written about Carnegie, Mellon and Frick, their ambitions and contributions, and no history of Pittsburgh could be told without them. But most of this book tells a story that has not been told. It is about the Indians and the workers, not the generals or the titans of industry. It is about those who first stood at the Forks of the Ohio, those who dug the coal, tended the furnaces, wrested the iron, steel, glass and aluminum from raw material, ...

DOJSCB needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 141 designs submitted by 15 freelance designers.
Department of Justice, Victoria, Australia
NOTE: ** Concepts or sketches only are fine. This contest is not for finished artwork **
The Department of Justice in Victoria, Australia, seeks design concepts for a vehicle fleet livery.
Our fleet is always on the road throughout metropolitan and regional Victoria. We want a livery that gives our cars high visibility.
The services we deliver are important in keeping people safe. Our divisions are engaged in the operation of criminal and civil courts, correctional services (prisons) and emergency services. We enforce laws and regulations, including those to protect consumers or regulate gaming and racing and the service of alcohol. Uniformed Sherriff's officers travel extensively to enforce court-issued warrants for the collection of fines.
Employees driving these cars include office-based staff, prison officers, sheriffs and court officers. Some wear uniforms, some don't. Some work in regional areas, others in the city. Wherever the cars are—on the highway, on country roads or in suburban streets—and whether moving or parked, they represent a department that protects the community, upholds human rights and provides for a fairer society.
The public: anyone who sees our cars. The 6,500 staff across our organisation are important: they should be proud to drive these vehicles or see them on the road..
NOTE: ** Concepts or sketches only are fine. This contest is not for finished artwork **
A large and growing part of the fleet consists of low-emission vehicles. All are white. Artwork for the Toyota Prius is provided. Designs should work for this shape but not depend on it–the design must be adaptable to other sedans.
The design requires:
A: the 'base' branding. This consists of the nameplate with the words "Department of Justice" and the Victorian State Government slogan (portrait or landscape). The nameplate is usually orange (R222 G135 B3) but an alternative pallet may be used. The Victoria logo/slogan must be R0 G64 B122
B. 'Dressing up'. The car decked out for the Sherriff's office: that means adding the badge, high-visibility markings, and a slogan "Collecting unpaid fines".
We want to see B (front, side and rear) but it has to build on A. Put it another way: all cars will have the A treatment; to some the B treatment will be added.
Finished art is not required. We are looking for ideas and concepts—a fresh, innovative and imaginative response to what our vehicles could look like. Don't get bogged down in technical detail about the visibility patches.
The vehicles must be eye-catching and convey authority without being aggressive. These are NOT police cars
The department's visual identity makes use of a 10 degree angle on design elements. Your design should include elements that are sloped at 10 degrees. Feel free to ask questions.

As a colony, Rhode Island performed several enumerations. While the earliest census of the state was taken in 1706, it did not survive, or has been lost. The first extant census taken was one ordered in 1730. This early census enumerated all citizens, male, female, black and white. It has been transcribed by Mildred Mosher Chamberlain in her Rhode Island Roots VII: 16-17 and X: 1.
John R. Bartlett in 1858 put together a manuscript which transcribed the 1774 census into book form at the behest of the State of Rhode Island. This manuscript has been published online by the Google book project and is freely available through this link: Census of the inhabitants of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. In this 1774 census, all townships were present except for the township of New Shoreham. In printing the census, the orthography of the original manuscript has been followed in the names, as nearly as possible.
The 1777 Military census was also transcribed by Mildred Mosher Chamberlain and appears in a work published by Genealogical Publishing House, but is currently out of print. This military census of Rhode Island is an enumeration of all males over sixteen both able and unable to bear arms. In addition, the census was to provide the names of men already in the state militia or in Continental battalions, and to identify transients, Indians, Negroes, and Quakers. The result is a town-by-town list of about 8,500 Rhode Island men-- the records given here in full are for twenty-three towns. Three towns, those of Exeter, Little Compton, and New Shoreham had their records lost, while the three towns of Middletown, Newport and Portsmouth never had enumerations taken, as in 1771 they were occupied by British forces.
The final census taken as a colony was done in 1782 and has been published by Jay Mack Holbrook as Rhode Island 1782 Census. This same census was later published by Katharine Utter Waterman during 1941/1942 in the New England Historical and Genealogical Register, using the same title, and used copies can be found occasionally through the following links:
- Rhode Island census of 1782 (New England Historical and Genealogical Register)
- Rhode Island census 1782
Members of the NEHGS should be able to consult the yearly edition of the publication and have access to that data online.
The Federal census was enumerated every 10 years in Rhode Island since 1790 and other then the 1890, all records have survived. The state also conducted census every 10 years starting in 1865 and continuing until 1935. Copies of the 1865 census is microfilmed at the Rhode Island Historical Society and they provide an every name index. The 1875, 1885, and 1925 state census are available at the Rhode Island State Archives physical location. A transcription to the 1915 state census was recently put online and is accessible via the correct county link below.

VIDEO: LeBron James tries his best to explain his historic night
HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — What do you do for an encore of one of the greatest months in NBA history? When you're LeBron James you turn in one of the greatest nights of your storied career.
The Heat star had a February for the ages, becoming the first player since Shaquille O'Neal in 2003 to average 30 or more points and eight or more rebounds while shooting better than 57 percent from the field for an entire calendar month (a minimum of five games played). Toss in LeBron's seven assists a game in February and only Wilt Chamberlain, in February of 1966 has had a wicked stretch of that sort.
That's why LeBron going for a career-high 61 points in the Heat's 124-107 home win over the Charlotte Bobcats on Monday ranks right up there among his greatest performances ever. He did it with a mask on, protecting his recently broken nose. He did it with Dwyane Wade resting in street clothes, as part of ongoing maintenance program. And he did it with work from all over the floor, including a career-high tying eight made 3-pointers.
He needed just 33 shots, 22 makes, to notch the 10th game of 50 or more points of his career and his first outing of 60 or more. He's one of just five players to reach the 60-point plateau shooting better than 65 percent since the 1985-86 season — joining Carmelo Anthony from earlier this season, Shaq in 2000 and Tom Chambers and Karl Malone (both in 1990) as the only players to accomplish that feat.
Oh, and unlike high-scoring escapades by superstars in recent seasons (you know who you are, 'Melo and Kobe Bryant), LeBron made sure to stick to his usual formula (he did have an assist or two … or five, to be exact) on his outlandish scoring night. The fact that he's still rewriting his own history this deep into his career speaks volumes about the sort of competitor and player he is now and really has always been.
How many other guys can get 60-plus points without it becoming an absolute hysterical exercise from one basket to the next? If you watch the highlights, it looks just like any other night from LeBron … save, of course, for the 3-point storm he rained down on the Bobcats.
VIDEO: LeBron makes it rain 3-pointers against the Bobcats
LeBron setting his own career-high for points and breaking Glen Rice's Heat franchise record of 56 (against the Orlando Magic in 1995) is just another milestone he can add to his overflowing collection. It's a reminder, though, that the great ones will dial up the unthinkable when you least expect it.
Who knew a Monday night game against the Bobcats would serve as one of LeBron's finest moments?
Just so we're clear about what kind of run he's on right now, LeBron has scored 187 points on 68 percent shooting from the floor over his last five games. The last time someone did that in the NBA was when Michael Jordan did it November of 1988.
And that envy he spoke of regarding the January exploits of one Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder … well, if February and the early days of March are any indication, LeBron wears envy as well he does the black mask he wore in his comeback outing (a 31-point treat dropped on the New York Knicks last Thursday on TNT).
This stretch run and race for the MVP between LeBron and KD should also serve as the ideal appetizer to whatever they have in store for us come playoff time, too.
Get your popcorn ready!

Pa. health club that was scene of 2009 shootings adds security after patron is found with guns
BRIDGEVILLE, Pa. – A Pittsburgh-area health club that was the site of a mass shooting four years ago has added security after a patron was found carrying two guns in his gym bag.
Collier Township police tell the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review (http://bit.ly/1eDnzGi ) that the man wasn't charged, but he was committed for a mental health evaluation. Police were called to the LA Fitness last week after an employee reported being harassed by the man.
Police say the man had a permit to carry the guns and was involuntarily committed to a mental health facility but was released Friday after doctors examined him.
In August 2009, George Sodini fatally shot himself after killing three women and wounding nine others at the club.
Police are posting an on-duty officer at the club indefinitely.

NaTuRaL KoNcEpT Invades Dalton
Story by Josh "JZ" Zickert
Photos by Paco & Shurika Kiuchi
Dalton, Georgia—located an hour northwest of Atlanta was once known as "the carpet capital of the world" before NK shredded that title on its recent tour this past June.
But before we get into the madness here are a few more interesting facts about Dalton:
1 – Jon Newport's birthplace.
2 – The KKK originated here (Adrian Mcelhaney mentioned on our last NK summer tour he could feel the history in his afro).
3 – The Wall Skatepark, owned by skater Ozzy Alvarez, was the sh-t until it closed in 2005. Ozzy Alvarez once linked up a G.G. Allin show in Dalton. Craze.
Fortunately Loretta Scriven opened up North Georgia Skatepark in 2006 and saved the day for the local skaters in Dalton. The park has a 30-foot wide mini and an editing studio where the groms can learn how to edit their own skate vids. DGK skated the park in early 2009, Kris Markovich popped in for a quick demo in March, and this trip makes NK's second appearance within the past 10 months.
Dave Davis, Trevor Uriona, Chris Kays, and myself spent five days chillin at Loretta's mansion grillin' stakes, swimming, and getting chauffered around in a Cadillac Escalade to skate Dalton, Chattanooga, and Atlanta. This was truly a vacation. We visited the aquarium in Chattanooga, took the Jaguar for a spin, and drank beers poolside each day/night.
We did scoop footy for our upcoming NK video—Chris Kays tail drop backside flipped off a bridge into a sketchy bank for the super banger of the trip. In Atlanta we skated foundation, scoped Stratosphere, seshed Stevie Williams' mini ramp, bombed hills downtown, hit up the stripbars—Tattletales and The Dollhouse (meant to hit up The Cleremont Lounge, but ran out of time), and finished the night off with more drinks, a late night swim in the condo pool, only to be escorted out by the security and a fierce bottle rocket war inside Jenny's apartment.
Mad props to Loretta for stylin' out the trip, Drunknmunky, Pull-in, Paco and Shurika Kiuchi for shooting the flicks. And Arizona Iced Tea for the drinks.

At crime scenes, the police are in charge.
They can and do tell journalists and the public where to stand so as not to interfere with an ongoing investigation.
Problems arise, though, when the police literally try to call the shots, telling photographers what they can and cannot shoot.
As a former police reporter, I know that this is not a new issue. Oddly enough, most clashes occurred over matters of taste.

St Patrick was Welsh by the way.
So he would wera a red shirt :)

I'm sure if most priests were given the choice, they'd go for the Bushmills.
- January 10, 2012 at 5:05 AM
For some strange reason (we're not Catholic) we got the Autom catalog for quite a while, and it was a rich, ongoing source of bewilderment and amusement.

My mom got me a white clerical shirt at one point. My response: 'Might was well take it back, won't wear it.'

Does it come in ORANGE for our's?

I saw the shirt in their latest catalog. The majority of their inventory is fairly quiet, but this one's a bit loud for my liking.
- January 10, 2012 at 11:05 AM
Thankfully,I can't imagine any priest I know wearing that thing.

Two comments: (1) Until sometime in the late middle ages, green used to be the color of a bishop's cassock. The only remnant of that is the green and gold chord holdling a bishop's pectoral cross and the green tasselled hat (galero) on a bishop's coat of arms.
(2) White clergy shirts are common enough in hot countries, or even in the Southern and lower Midwestern States during the hottest months of the year.

I will stick with black! Autom makes a decent clergy shirt, if you like the tab-collar variety! I bought several shortly after ordination and wore them for several years with minimal fading. Eventually, I gave up on the tab collar variety, but I would take the Bushmills (is that about $25 per bottle???)
BTW, who said St. Patrick was Welsh? All I know is that his father was a Roman citizen, presumably a legionaire! I didn't think the man had any celtic blood at all!

- Father Cory Sticha said...
I will echo my brother priests and say, "Keep the shirt, send the Bushmills." Definitely had a bit of a laugh when I pulled that catalog out of the post office box. I know one priest who might buy that shirt, but he's the same one who as a deacon at seminary dyed a white shirt orange to wear on Halloween.
- January 10, 2012 at 1:43 PM
I have one. Great fun for one day a year. The color on the cover is much too subdued.
- January 10, 2012 at 9:01 PM
I don't drink alcohol, but even I'd prefer a bottle of Bushmills (or Toilet Duck for that matter) to that "clerical" shirt!

I saw Namibian Lutherans wearing clerical shirts in current liturgical colours - and green was the colour they wore mostly. Very cool ;-)

That's not the worst I've seen.

I had an Irish great uncle (from County Mayo, and definitely Roman Catholic) who preferred Bushmill's (made in Northern Ireland, I believe) to either Jameson's or Tullamore Dew. It was a puzzle. I like Tullamore Dew myself...if I can't get a good single malt Scotch.
- January 15, 2012 at 5:27 PM
St. Patrick was from "Brittania". That included what is now Wales, what is now England, and even what is now Brittany in northern France. It was all one region then. (Even now, speakers of Welsh and speakers of Breton can usually understand each other. ) While his father was Roman, it's probable that his mother was either British or a Roman/British mix.
- January 16, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Back in college, at a thoroughly secular university, my dorm front desk used to get the Autom catalog.
I would only ever buy this as a joke.

...about clergy shirts- is there a conspiracy afoot to make priests crazy will all the different sizes of tab collars out there? I think my husband has about 4 different sized collars- I suppose it he had bought about 10 shirts of the exact same brand he wouldn't be searching for collars...(he wears black most days, but he does have some grey and white)

In th nordic lutheran churches the green clergy shirt is reserved and used by deacons./Fredrik

@JC Fremont: Bushmills is not only here in Northern Ireland, it's the sort of village where I (being from the Irish Republic originally) wouldn't even open my mouth! I'll still drink their whiskey though :-)

Actually, Bushmills is made by protestants from NORTHERN Irelands. So I'm sure a good Catholic priest would prefer the TRUE Irish Jameson

Tullamore Dew or a really nice 30 year old Jameson's for the priest of whom I am most fond.
This? Jeesh.

Bushmills sixteen yr old. Expensive but absolutely worth it
- April 18, 2012 at 1:14 PM
So... you think the designer had a medieval cassock in mind when concocting this silly shirt?
- April 20, 2012 at 11:21 PM
I thought St. Patrick originated from Italy...
- April 20, 2012 at 11:22 PM
I'm a Baptist, so I could be wrong since my minister doesn't wear vestments, but isn't green the liturgical color for ordinary time?

Folding bike specialist Tern Bicycles debuted a key upgrade to its range at the Taipei Cycle Show, while sister company BioLogic showed off its latest Bike Mount Plus for Apple's iPhone 5. Though these bits don't attract as much attention as carbon fiber racing gear or the latest in aerodynamics, there's still a lot of clever thinking at play.
Tern's slick Physis "handlepost" already featured a well-engineered tapered shape and secure locking hinge that lent a surprising amount of rigidity to the front end of its folding bikes while staying reasonably lightweight. New for MY2014, however, is the Physis 3D, which integrates the mast and hinged base into a one-piece forging.
Tern claims the new design is stronger and yields a cleaner aesthetic. The Physis 3D will be integrated as a rolling change on all models previously fitted with the original version.
BioLogic iPhone solutions
Tern's sister company, BioLogic, unveiled two new cases for the iPhone 5.
The Bike Mount Plus features a weatherproof, hard-shelled plastic design with o-ring seals, a touch-compatible transparent membrane, and quick-release clamps to securely lock your phone inside. The mount can be used on both stems and handlebars, the case can be rotated for portrait or landscape viewing, and flip-down ports allow access to headphone and charge ports when needed.
BioLogic has also fitted the Bike Mount Plus with a silicone rubber liner to absorb impact and a handy 'kickstand' on the back for use on a tabletop when you're not riding. Suggested retail price is US$55/€55.
The phone can still be operated through the thin transparent film
BioLogic also showed a new aluminum Hard Case for the iPhone 5 for US$125/€125. Unfortunately the associated bike mount isn't due until late fall but, as with the Bike Mount Plus, all of the phone's buttons, ports, and cameras are fully accessible and there's a silicone rubber liner to absorb shock.
BioLogic says its aluminum Hard Case is certified to IP68 weatherproofing standards, meaning it's sealed from dust and submersible up to 15m (50ft) – good features if you regularly ride in nasty conditions. The plastic Bike Mount Plus can't quite match that level but BioLogic says it's still certified to IPX4, so it's "not waterproof, but good against drizzle, mud, and sweat," said Tern/Biologic consumer marketing man Eric Mah.

text: Round one joint-leader Leishman is taking part in the Masters for only his second time [AP]Like all Australian golfers, Marc Leishman knows all about his country's jinx at the Masters.No Australian has ever won the Masters and for a country that is used to sporting success, it has become a source of national frustration. The agonising near misses of Greg Norman have only added to the country's obsession to end the drought but every new year brings fresh hope. "It was awesome, but I never really got ahead of myself, because I know that this course can bite you pretty quickly" Marc Leishman On Thursday at Augusta National, Leishman emerged as Australia's latest contender, shooting a brilliant six-under-par 66 in the first round to grab the clubhouse lead. Leishman and Sergio Garica both shot 66 for a one-stroke lead over American Dustin Johnson and two ahead of a group including English debutant David Lynn and past champions Fred Couples and Trevor Immelman.The 29-year-old Australian made a nervous start, bogeying the first hole, but did not drop another shot all day as he charged up the leaderboard with a run of birdies on the back nine."It was awesome, but I never really got ahead of myself, because I know that this course can bite you pretty quickly," he said. "If you miss it in the wrong spot, you can easily have a bogey, and then double is pretty easy to come by around here."You've just got to miss it in the right spots and I was able to do that today. It obviously felt good to get on a roll with the four birdies in a row." Mastering dream Leishman made his Masters debut in 2010, a year after he became the first Australian to be named PGA Tour Rookie of the Year, but was overawed by the event and missed the cut.He failed to qualify in 2011 and 2012 but earned himself an automatic spot when he won his first PGA Tour event last year and said he is better prepared this time."The first time I was here a few years ago, I was like a bit of a deer in headlights," he said. "You just put all your mistakes in the memory bank and try and not make them again."Australians have won each of golf's other three majors but the Masters has eluded the country's best golfers since Jim Ferrier, the 1947 PGA Champion, blew a three-shot lead with six holes to play at Augusta National in 1950.Peter Thomson won the British Open five times in the 1950s and 1960s but his best result at the Masters was fifth place in 1957. Then came Norman, whose cruel close calls at Augusta became torturous viewing for Australians.Norman finished runner-up in 1986, bogeying the last hole to miss out on a playoff with a 46-year-old Jack Nicklaus. A year later, he was beaten in a playoff by Larry Mize, who holed out from a bunker, but his darkest moment was yet to come.In 1996, Norman led by six shots heading into the final round but crumbled to shoot a 78 and finish second again.In 2012, Australia's Adam Scott held the outright lead with two holes to go with countryman Jason Day his nearest challenger. But both were overhauled by South Africa's Charl Schwartzel who birdied the last four holes."Growing up as a kid, you know, you just (imagined) having the putt to win the Masters," Leishman said. "(Winning the Masters) would be huge obviously, but there's a lot of golf left and a lot of hurdles to clear."But if I can keep playing the way I'm playing, keep holing the crucial par putts and just putting the way I have been, there's no reason why not."

Another day, another picture of Jeremy Clarkson on the ground thanks to a broken chair. This time it appears his daughter Emily has included a more concrete explanation for how the Jezza ended up on the floor.
She included the following message with this picture of her outspoken father this morning
The Daily Mail was right. He is fat. It's happened again.
This is the Daily Mail article she's referencing. We still aren't positive if intoxication, weight or just a poor furniture decision are truly to blame for Clarkson's chair destruction, but we wouldn't be surprised to find out all three are somehow involved.
Hat tip to K5ING!

Previously, we said motors are special victims of power quality problems. It's also true that motors are special contributors of these problems. With their inrush currents, inductive load characteristics, and electronic drives (if not harmonics corrected and power factor corrected), motors place heavy burdens on a power distribution system. Even the physical connections require extra care and attention beyond that afforded to "normal" distribution system loads. This is why you can buy a roll of rubber "motor lead tape." How many other loads can you name that have a special lead tape named for them?
Article 430 ("the Motor Article") is the longest Article in the entire National Electrical Code, and yet other Articles of the Code still deal with motors. Part of the solution to that part of the motor maintenance puzzle dealing with the power distribution system is in Art. 430. If your motor supply doesn't conform with Art. 430, then you're going to have a "high maintenance" situation. If you are in that situation, review Art. 430. You might just find that someone installed it improperly.

Ladies showcase the state of women's snowboarding at Sochi Olympic slopestyle qualifiers
Women's slopestyle riding took to the world stage at the Sochi Winter Olympics Thursday afternoon as 23 riders stepped up to the massive course. While there were "women's tee" takeoffs on the side of the each of the jumps, almost all of the ladies opted to send it off the main jumps, just the same as the guys. That choice was a testament to how far women's slope riding has come. Well, on the jumps at least. The rails were more a barrage of 50-50s and boardslides but the jumps, those were legit. What better platform to showcase women's riding than the debut of Olympic slopestyle?
At first tough, it all seemed like just another contest to Canada's Spencer O'Brien. "But once I strapped in and I could see the stands at the bottom and the flags, I was like 'Oh, shit,'" Spencer says. "It really set in, what was happening. With all the other events in snowboarding, you get them every year and there's no long-term goal. With Sochi it's been three years of hard work just to get here so to drop in for my first run was pretty cool."
The Olympics also differ from other snowboard contests in that a rider isn't just trying to win for themselves, but also for their country. "At X Games it's just me," Spencer says. "If I land, that's great but it's still just for me. Here I have the whole country on my back and I'm wearing my flag. It's really cool to be a part of something bigger than myself."
What better incentive for the ladies to throw down? Switzerland's Isabel Derungs did just that when she took the top qualifying spot in Heat 1 with a second run score of 87.50 for a line that included a massive backside 720 to backside rodeo 540. Picking up the second spot was Australia's Torah Bright, who made her first slopestyle appearance in a long time. Torah approached the slope course with the same smooth style she displays in the pipe, landing a Cab 540, backside 360, and frontside 360 on the jump line. Spencer qualified third with her first run, which included a switch backside 540, frontside 360, and backside 540. On her second run she mixed it up and added a frontside 720 but didn't land as cleanly overall.
Like Finland's Enni Rukajarvi, who also qualified in this heat, Isabel, Spencer, and Torah's ranking advances them straight to finals. The top four riders are also taken from Heat 2, for a total of eight riders who move right to the medal round. On Sunday, those who didn't make it will have one more chance in semifinals to get the last four start positions in finals.
In Heat 2 Austria's Anna Gasser edged out US rider Jamie Anderson for the top spot with a jump line that included a Cab underflip, frontside 720, and backside 360. Anna is one of the few ladies who can do a Cab double underflip, and she has one her mind for the finals on Sunday.
Jamie qualified second for this heat by sending it deep into the landings of the jumps and powering through the compression on a switch backside 540, backside 540, and Cab 540. Jamie took a heavy bail in practice so after locking in a spot for finals with that first run she skipped her second in order to save herself for Sunday. Overall though, Jamie thought the level of women's riding was impressive, especially for qualifiers.
On the subject of injuries, US rider Ty Walker bruised her heel in practice but rode a throw-away lap beside the jumps in order to advance her to semifinals in case her heel feels better by then. No athlete can be eliminated from competition before the Olympics start, and that isn't until the opening ceremonies take place on Friday, so all Ty had to do was start the course to make it semis.

Adapting to Social Media Analytics
As businesses – both small and large – adapt to the increasing demands of social media, the way these companies analyze its return on investment on these networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, must adapt too.
Visible Technologies, a social media monitoring company, launches new features each quarter, rapidly enabling organizations to do just that. The company recently announced multiple enhancements to its Visible Intelligence platform.
"Brand leaders, marketers, and customer support teams need a fast and efficient way to analyze, assess and adjust to real-time consumer feedback," said Richard Pasewark, CEO of Visible. "Social strategy is becoming a focal point for corporations of every size; they demand solutions to access, understand, and act on the fresh consumer conversation happening on the social web. The Visible Intelligence platform - and these important new updates - provides a powerful competitive edge by making social data easy to access, simple to comprehend and relevant to the marketer."
The new features include Klout influence scoring, upgraded search functionality, expanded widgets, streamlined post actions and more.
The company expects these new enterprise-class features to increase the efficiency and speed of managing social media and analysis. Additionally, the integration with Klout helps marketers react to social media influencers.
"In the content realm, as content is flowing in, we are often looking at people was saying, but another is the influence score people assign" said Pasewark. "Klout scores are way to get direct measurements."
Measurements can also come in the form of sentiment, which marketers using this Visible Intelligence platform, can sort by positive or negative sentiment. For example, if a company launches a new product and announces it on its social networks, marketers can quickly see what is trending and turn that impactful info into action like emphasizing a feature that received positive feedback or even, in extreme cases, offering refunds or recalls.
Also in this launch, are improved data graphics, such as a 'sentiment pie.' As not all marketers are deep analytic users, these graphs help them view insightful info, quickly.

Infusion du jour
When the days get darker (alias now), I crave for more hot drinks, especially in the evening. I drink lots of tea, but in the evenings I want something without caffeine, so I usually go for various herbal infusions. I know these are not proper 'teas', but that's how they were called at our house, and I find it difficult to call them otherwise. My favourites are peppermint tea (from my mum's garden), camomile tea and linden tea – all at various times. I can happily have peppermint infusion for breakfast, which seems a bit odd to some of my friends. Camomile obviously helps me to unwind and calm down, and mixed with honey this is the 'first aid' remedy against colds. Linden always reminds me of the huge linden tree at my grandparents house and collecting its crop with my cousins...
And my current favourite concoction is quite unusual but extremely pleasant. I mix couple of pieces of dried raspberry twigs and leaves, some sage and some lemon balm.
Again, as they are from my mum's garden, it reminds me of home. And it is a perfect cure for any homesickness, should it occur. Believe me, give it a go!

Hi Pille,
Yep, I can do peppermint at breakfast too. An refreshing, cleansing start to the day. So does your mum sent you raspberry twigs and things through the post to brew up..? That would be very cool!

I can do peppermint at breakfast too! :) Looks lovely to make the teas like you do, with whole twigs etc.

I love herb teas and drink them all the time, especially when the weather gets colder.

Iain - nope, I stock up whenever I'm visiting, which is usually 2-3 times a year. I once brought over a pile of semi-fresh peppermint, sprigs and leaves. They were squeezed into a plastic bag and didn't really smell minty at all at that stage. I was very worried that they want to check my luggage at the customs and I might need to explain what's in my bag:) Once I got them out of the bag, and air-dried, they regained their nice minty smell luckily:)))
Tanja - well, I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only peppermint for breakfast person. I guess I've been surrounded by lots of black tea or strong coffee drinking people. I've converted some of them into drinking peppermint tea, but only as a late night option...
Paz - I agree, there's nothing as warming and comforting as a cup of hot herbal tea on a cold dark night...

It was Zoe Saldana's 33rd birthday yesterday and boy, does this actress/model/Glamour cover girl have a lot to celebrate. Namely, a successful career, the ability (and desire) to give back and a keen sense of style that separates her from the starlet pack! In honor of the birthday girl's awesomeness, here are the top 5 looks from Zoe's 32nd year that we kind of want to steal. And, Zoe, here's to many more!
Leopard And Coral In The Prettiest Least-Tacky Way: This Dolce and Gabbana leopard and lace dress is super cute, especially on Zoe's gorgeous skin tone! The coral pumps add a pop of color and the suede makes them look expensive, not tacky. Love!
Low-Key Blue Jean Cool: Again with the leopard! Here, Zoe used a patterned pump to jazz up a slim blue jean and leather jacket (this one is Diane von Furstenberg). Gals, add this classic outfit idea to your fall "try" list.
Red Hot On The Red Carpet: Diaphanous fabrics in fiery, bright colors epitomize sultry summer style. Zoe paired this stunning Prabal Gurung number with a pretty pink pump, red lip and swept-up hairstyle. Genius.
Clean Cocktail-Ready Minimalism: Everything about this Calvin Klein look is 100% right: the dress fits her perfectly, the color is unexpectedly subtle and the accessories have just the right amount of edge. This is 90-degree-heat perfection.
Flower Girl Glamour: Zoe might be a tiny little thing but she carried this patterned Vionnet gown with total grace and glamour. And that's kind of why we love Zoe's style, isn't it? Girl can pull off anything!
