I started a new blog. The focus will be on comps and storyboards - mostly as they are related to advertising - though I am open to including other aspects of concept art like film, animation and video games. The first posts are picked up from last week's series, but I have added one more, which features several ads from storyboard studios that advertised their services in the 1985 edition of the Creative Black Book.
I hope to make this new blog more of a community effort, so please feel free to contact me if you'd like to guest author a post (or posts). Show off your work, share examples of old storyboards and comps you hung onto by past greats, tell us about that nightmare job you sweated through.. whatever!
Take a peek at the new Storyboard Central
Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.

Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry are engaged
Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry are engaged.
The former "Roseanne" star, who now serves as a co-host on the daytime series "The Talk," started dating the 4 Non Blondes rocker in 2011. Perry, who has also had great success as a songwriter penning hits for Pink and Christina Aguilera, proposed over a picnic in Los Angeles.
Announcing the news on "The Talk" on Monday, Gilbert said, "We go to a park, and we have food and we're eating it, it's really sweet and there's this guy sitting playing guitar, like a street musician, and he starts playing this song that we love. ... I'm like, 'Oh, that's so weird, this is so magical and amazing.'
"So that ends and she's like, 'Oh, I'm gonna ask him to play this other song,' but this other song is really obscure and this guy wouldn't know it, but magically he knows it. ... And suddenly the people picnicking next to us pull out string instruments from under the blanket and walk over and they start playing "Love Song" (by the Cure)."
Gilbert continued, "Then she goes to her backpack and she pulls out some T-shirts and the first T-shirt says, 'Will,' and then she puts on another T-Shirt that says, 'You,' 'Marry,' 'Me' and the last one is a question mark. And then she goes to her backpack and gets a ring."
And Perry even called on her pal John Waite for a surprise private performance of "their" song, "Missing You."
She adds, "So then she says, 'OK, turn around,' and I turn around and our moms are there and a couple friends... So I think that's it and it's the most amazing proposal ever and then ... this guy walks up and she's like, 'This is John Waite,' and he starts playing 'Missing You.'"

PORTLAND, Ore. — Damian Lillard usually sticks to the rookie script, rarely showing much excitement.
But when the Trail Blazers' guard sank the game-winning three-pointer against New Orleans last week, he celebrated by high-fiving a fan seated near the bench.
"I have no idea who it was," Lillard said, laughing. "He was the first guy that I saw."
Lillard, playing with a veteran's poise and a rookie's humility, is the early favourite for Rookie of the Year.
"I think he's a wonderful player," said San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich. "His skills are obvious but I like his demeanour as much as I like his skills. He really plays within himself, he's not afraid of contact and he understands how to take advantage of situations."
Popovich knows. Lillard dropped 29 points on his Spurs last Thursday in a 98-90 Portland win. Then he hit the game-winning three with 0.3 seconds left in a 95-94 victory over the Hornets on Sunday night.
Lillard was the sixth overall pick in the June draft out of Weber State, where he was a two-time Big Sky Conference player of the year. He averaged 24.5 points, five rebounds and four assists as a junior with the Wildcats before declaring early for the draft.
From the start, Trail Blazers general manager Neil Olshey called him the team's "franchise point guard." Lillard was the key component as Portland rebuilt around LaMarcus Aldridge, Nicolas Batum and Wesley Matthews after finishing 28-38 and out of the playoffs last season.
"You can break his game down and quantify the shooting, the ball handling, the assist to turnover ratio, the pick-and-roll efficiency. What can't be quantified is his leadership ability and the gravitas he carries himself with as a young player," Olshey said.
The six-foot-three point guard excelled first in the NBA's Summer League, where he averaged 26.5 points and was the league's co-MVP.
In Portland's opener on Halloween night against the Los Angeles Lakers, Lillard had 23 points and 11 assists. He joined Isiah Thomas and Oscar Robinson as the only players with at least 20 points and 10 assists in their NBA debuts.
Lillard had at least 20 points in his first three games, matching Grant Hill for the NBA record set in 1994. He is averaging 18.8 points, best by far among the NBA's first-year players, along with 6.3 assists, 3.3 rebounds and a labour-intensive 38 minutes per game.
He is the only Blazer to start in all 23 games and he had at least one three-pointer in his first 20 pro games, tying an NBA record. Lillard was the league's Rookie of the Month for November.
"It's almost like he glides with the ball. He has a high basketball IQ," Toronto Raptors coach Dwane Casey said. "The thing you love about him more than anything else is he plays with a chip on his shoulder. He's one of those underdogs who went to a small school who is out to prove to everybody he's an NBA player."
The Blazers' last rookie sensation was Brandon Roy, who was the Rookie of the Year in 2007 after averaging 16.8 points, 4.0 assists. He was the third Trail Blazer to win the award, joining Geoff Petrie in 1971 and Sidney Wicks in 1972. Now Lillard is making his case.
Portland has leaned on him of late while the Blazers ride out a wave of injuries. Batum has struggled with back pain. Matthews' streak of 250 straight starts ended because of a hip injury. Most recently, Aldridge sprained his left ankle in the final minute of the victory over the Hornets.
Matthews and Aldridge are uncertain for Thursday night's game against the Denver Nuggets. So the Blazers might have to turn to Lillard again.
Lillard, for his part, just wants to keep it simple.
"My main focus is to keep trying to help us win games," he said.

It's probably worth pointing out that Raimi didn't direct the GRUDGE movies, BOOGEYMAN, etcetera. He just produced them. I think the last horror movie Raimi actually directed was THE GIFT, which was was pretty good.
**MILD SPOILERS** Huh, surprised there aren't more reviews on here. Anyway, I really enjoyed it, even though I was kinda hoping it would be even MORE wild and outrageous and off-the-wall that it was. I appreciate that Raimi was trying to tell a real, fleshed-out story with real characters (a rarity in horror movies nowadays), but somehow the movie felt a little TOO subdued and grounded. I really wanted to see him go a lot crazier, and throw all kinds of weird shit at the screen. Unfortunately though, most of the scares came either from shadows or from the old woman popping up out of nowhere-- which, well, started to get a bit old after awhile (although the attack in the parking garage was absolute BRILLIANCE). And the fact all the craziness was limited only to the girl was a bit disappointing too. And as great as most of Raimi's direction was, his twist ending was made PAINFULLY obvious, and really undercut (at least for me) the entire last act of the movie. I would have expected him to disguise that a lot better than he did. Still though, there was a lot of fun stuff in here, and I definitely had a good time overall. If you're a Raimi fan (and judging from the excited reactions at seeing the Evil Dead car, there were a lot of them in my theater ), you should check it out.
Well maybe I just watch WAAAY too many movies. The whole ruse felt like something I've seen many times before. Plus the movie gave me way too much time to think about it once I realized something was probably up. (hmm, looks like my spoiler code isn't working. darn)
I think I saw it coming in the car, but when she found it, I dismissed it completely. I'm trying to be as vague as possible since the spoiler code wasn't working for me either, ha.
Loved it. Good old fashioned scare you with suggestion, and loud noises. I miss those horrors. Plenty of laughs too. My non-horror-liking friend seemed to enjoy it too. Probably see it again soon. Saw the twist coming too, then just dismissed it until she looked in the shop window and it clicked in to place again.
I saw the twist coming, but only because I assumed that since Sam Raimi is one cruel bastard he'd go for it. Other movies would have had a happy ending.
I have just returned from viewing it, I loved it. It was more in the typical style of the Evil Dead movies, and just Raimi's earlier style of direction, but still distinguished itself well. It didn't feel like a retread so much as it just felt like a continuation of that very individual manner of film making. Some really clinically gross out moments but without employing too much in the way of extreme splatter effects, excellent building of tension, really good performances, the only thing it was missing was Bruce Campbell.
I'll just add another voice to the chorus of "I liked its". As for the twist ending--I knew some kind of twist was coming, but didn't anticipate what made the twist possible. If you know what I mean. It was a very satisfying twist, in any case.
Fantastic film, Raimi at his best. I think there are few directors who could mesh a classic old school horror (jumps, shadows and noises only) with gross out green goo spewing old lady corpses, and make it funny and scary in equal measure. Did see the twist coming, and the cartoon violence was just a bit too cartoony at times, but on the whole this was wonderful, great little homages to some of my favourite horror films like The Haunting and Night of the Demon (even down to the railway station ending) Justin Long must be the youngest professor ever though...
Many spoilers, but if you can't guess them from the previews, I want you to stop breathing the same oxygen I do.... Drag Me To Hell is a movie that pretty much starts out great, but ends up being dragged down to hell by the third act, mostly because Sam Raimi can't avoid, well, convention. It's got some great sequences, and is pretty frightening, enough to forgive the fact that it's mostly driven by things popping out and going "Boo!" Unfortunately, what happens if you see a gun in the first act that doesn't go off in the third act? You wonder why they even let us know there is a gun in the first place. Beginning: Kid is dragged to hell by a demon (the Lamia). Spiritualist devotes her life to stopping it. Half way throug: The Spiritualist is back, but guess what? All she does is talk, die, and pad the film. Because hey, who wants that? And then the movie just goes down the same beaten path every horror film goes down. So why bother? Why should I even care at this point, if I know what's going to happen next? And, because it's a horror movie, our hero gets dragged to hell. Sorry, I know, it's a spoiler. But is it really? It's on the posters, in the trailer, and I went to the theater KNOWING it was going to happen. I just hoped I would be surprised. But hey, it's a typical horror movie and I guess they needed a typical horror movie ending. Instead of something original. I don't need a happy ending. I just think a tacky, cliched, predictable unhappy ending is just as stupid as they typical Hollywood Happy ending... Because all horror films end this way. I want something fresh. If you must have an unhappy ending, at least don't give us the one we know will happen from the get go? Or at least, have more to it than that. Quite frankly, it was a cop out ending. Actually, I screamed "Cop out!"
I can't deny I was hoping for some interesting twist, and I expected the ending, but with any other film maker I would probably have expected the happy ending to have stuck.
How so? I have twenty-nine horror films in my DVD collection, ranging from classics like The Exorcist and The Omen to schlock like The Car and The Devil's Rain, and only one of them has an ending that even somewhat resembles Drag Me to Hell's.
Again: how so? (That's not a rhetorical question, BTW: I would honestly like to know how you see it as typical, since it doesn't seem that way to me)
Have you seen the movie Thinner? It's about a guy who is cursed by a Gypsy, gets thinner, and dies. This is a movie about somebody who is cursed and Dragged to Hell. It's just conventional horror movie crap. Often times in horror films, they go for the downbeat "scary ending" even when it's one we see coming miles away. Hence, Typical horror movie ending. Twin Peaks had a better ending.... It was an unhappy one... But at least it wasn't what we expected. Nor was it simply "Haha hero dies bad guy wins" which, by the way, was what this was. It was a terrible ending that's become too common. And we all knew it was coming. If you didn't, I really think you should tear up your high school diploma because damn, I really don't think you deserve it.

Putting an assert_fail makes sure you notice if you forget to come back and fill in the body of a test.

no scientology and vodoo arent the same.Vodoo works for the believers.It is still practiced in deep south louisianna.Tales of the loupan,rogaroo and other supernatural things are still believed.Believe me,I have seen many things in the swamp at night I didnt believe.Maybe they were wild imaginations of a young boy who was told tales maybe not.I havent been proven otherwise.
I never had to be hypnotized, or pay any amount of money, etc, to be a member of the Catholic Church.
I would gladly become a muslim before ever becoming a scienwhackado. Too bad some good actors and actresses are on the list. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scientologists
I sure can't agree with that sentiment. Scientology is a scam, out for $$. Islam (per the Koran) is aimed at world domination, and directed by Alah to kill all who refuse to convert or live in slavery.
Terry there is a None to None chance I would ever be a muslim and even less of a chance I would become a scienwackado.
Never mind - Arguing with a Muslim apologist is a complete waste of time. Anyone doubting the murderous nature of Islam need only read the Koran. Infidels (that's you and me) only have three choices, per the koran: 1. Convert to Islam 2. Live as slaves to Islam 3. Die.
I found the words of Muhammad in Hadith 4294: "Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war...When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of these, you also accept it and withhold yourself from doing them any harm. Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them....If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them." No Jesus, no end times - just a general directive.
Oh - for the record - both the Jews and the Christians are considered "polytheists" to the Islamists.
they are doing that today in africa you moron what are you a closet muslim ?? hope not for your sake , hope so for entertainments sake eh ... m Sir i watched a mass slaughter last night 28 muslims attacking a Christian school in africa they took 8 hours of footage i watched 10 mins your real proud of the army of allah how they rape little girls and boys kill anyone older and burn many people alive because they could not fight back bound into their wheel chairs but krhoads supports that sir i've a pork bone for you i'll love to deliver it to you myself and shove it where your allah likes to touch little boys but instead i'll just post your IP and sentiments to some friends like seafood ??
krhoads is, I believe, a troll. He jumps in, makes a controversial post, gets lots of responses, then never addresses any point raised.
I REALLY MISS THE OP............ boB......BROTHER, WHERE ART THOU........??????? [Quran..koran...allah book....whatever......wipe my ass with the pages....]

I don't really love having Luis Castillo on the bench but he's pretty much the best backup 2B available. Offensively the only available player I'm really interested in is Casey Klotchman, but I'm not sure who to drop/trade to make room for him.
I'm pretty happy with my pitching staff but I'm open to hearing suggestions for improvement. Right now Oliver Perez and Scott Shields are both available in my league so I'd love to find a way to add them to my roster.
Anyway, thanks in advance for any feedback.

IEEE Introduces App-E-Feat; to Help Change the World, One Mobile App at a Time
Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Help Engineer Solutions to World Problems
New York, NY – September 23, 2013 – IEEE, the world's largest professional technical organization dedicated to advancing technology for humanity, today announced the development of a website that will help non-profit and non-governmental organizations develop mobile applications that will further their causes and potentially impact millions of lives. As part of its Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) Commitment to Action introduced at the CGI Annual Meeting, App-E-Feat will connect non-profits, non-governmental organizations, and corporate initiatives with engineers around the world to help advance their goals through a digital platform.
"CGI's focus on providing innovative solutions to the world's most pressing problems is directly in line with the mission of IEEE: to foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity," said E. James Prendergast, Executive Director and COO of IEEE. "Leveraging the mindshare of the IEEE community to provide technological support and education to CGI member organizations can have a great impact on their humanitarian efforts around the globe."
The App-E-Feat website will serve as a resource gateway that connects engineers with nonprofits and nongovernmental organizations to help support their need for mobile technology resources. Organizations will be able to match their technology and educational requests with engineers who can provide expertise and open-sourced code needed to create low-cost, scalable solutions to humanitarian issues. The code available to the organizations will be designed to provide real-time information and pertinent data that can be leveraged to create new health, economic, and social opportunities for populations around the globe.
"President Clinton's plenary address at the CGI 2013 Mid-Year Meeting addressed the impact of mobile applications on those less fortunate and it inspired IEEE to create App-E-Feat," said Karen Panetta, IEEE Fellow and Vice President of IEEE-USA, and Associate Dean at Tufts Graduate School of Engineering. "Access to mobile technology resources can help these organizations further their individual missions that do not have significant resources. IEEE is offering the engineering community the opportunity to collaborate with these organizations to create mobile applications that will help these organizations do just that."
The IEEE's Clinton Global Initiative Commitment to Action spans two years and estimates that hundreds of apps will be developed through App-E-Feat during that time. App-E-Feat will be open for participation to CGI member organizations in its first year and expanded in year two to include more organizations in need of help and more companies looking to share their technological mindshare. As part of its Commitment, IEEE has also made its extensive technical expertise, assistance, and members available to the Clinton Global Initiative to help further causes related to engineering and technological advancement.
About IEEE
IEEE is a large, global professional organization dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities, IEEE is the trusted voice on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics.

Program Note: In the next installment of CNN's Black in America series, Soledad O'Brien examines the successes, struggles and complex issues faced by black men, women and families, 40 years after the death of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Watch encore presentation Saturday & Sunday, 8 p.m. ET
We devote several days on the blog to smart insight and commentary related to the special.
Editor's Note: Lynn Whitfield is an Emmy Award winning actress famous for her role as Josephine Baker in 'The Josephine Baker Story.' Her other films include 'A Thin Line Between Love and Hate,' 'Gone Fishin'' and 'Eve's Bayou.' Below is a response from her and her daughter after watching Black In America's 'The Black Woman and Family.'
Lynn Whitfield
My daughter Grace and I watched the premier of CNN's groundbreaking "Black in America." I thought we would have lively discussions around many of the themes concerning black women in this country. However, when she saw the segments on interracial marriage and the children of those relationships, she had a visceral response.
I saw an activist being born.
Grace seemed ready to adapt James Brown's black anthem to her cause: "Say it loud, I'm blended and proud!" I saw my daughter stand up for the equality of blended people like herself in all her olive-complexioned, big curly afro-like glory. She went immediately to the computer with dignity, passion and everything but a fist in the air and wrote the statement you are about to read:
Mixed in America
Grace Gibson (16-year-old daughter of Lynn Whitfield)
Although I found this segment of "Black in America" to be highly informative for the general public, I was disappointed that the interviews in the section on what it is like to be biracial in America seemed to focus only on the more negative aspects. With the eyes of the world now on Barack Obama, I had hoped for a more balanced discussion on what a positive symbol a mixed race person can project.

The top seeded Stevens men's lacrosse team claimed the program's first ever Empire 8 Conference title on May 5 with a 10-7 victory over Ithaca College at the De Baun Athletic Complex in a matchup of the top two teams in the Empire 8. Senior defender Matt Marks was named the championship's Most Valuable Player after leading Stevens with six groundballs and four caused turnovers. The Ducks will head into the NCAA Tournament with a 16-2 overall record, matching the most wins in school history and a seven-game winning streak.
After the Bombers (12-6) netted the game's first goal in the opening two minutes of the game, Stevens went on a 3-0 run over the next 6:32 to build a 3-1 advantage just over halfway through with the first quarter and never fell behind on the scoreboard the rest of the game.
Junior midfielder Rich Dupras tallied the Ducks' first score of the game unassisted two minutes after the first Ithaca goal. Fellow junior midfielder Harrison Dorne then put Stevens in the driver's seat with another unassisted goal just 2:30 after the Dupras score. Exactly two minutes ticked off the clock before the third consecutive unassisted Stevens goal was recorded by senior attack Alex Hofrichter. Dupras finished the game with five points on two goals and three assists, while Hofrichter later assisted on a score.
Ithaca responded with 1:45 to go in the first quarter to make the contest a one-goal difference, but junior midfielder Nicolas Philippi staked the Ducks back to a two-goal lead in the final seconds of the period off a feed from Hofrichter.
Philippi then put Stevens ahead by three scores, striking first in the second period off a pass from Dupras with 12:19 left in the half. Philippi would post a game-high five goals in the game, including four of the last six tallies by the Ducks.
The Bombers would fight back, however, with a 3-0 run of their own in the second period over the final 10:39 to go into halftime deadlocked at 5. Ithaca netted its first goal at the 10:39 mark and then picked up another just three minutes later. The first half scoring closed out with just 17 seconds to go on the final score. All three goals registered by the Bombers were assisted.
Stevens' suffocating defense showed up in the second half and allowed just two goals to Ithaca over the final 30 minutes of play. In the past four games for the Ducks, their opposition has only scored six second half goals.
Philippi would net two straight man-up goals to begin the third quarter off passes from Dupras. The first extra man chance came with 9:42 in the third and the next happened 1:47 later, pushing the Ducks' lead back out to two goals, 7-5.
A man-up opportunity for the Bombers brought the difference back to one goal, 7-6, with just over five minutes left in the period before senior attack Kevin Rose picked up his lone point of the game on the final score of the third period off a transition pass from sophomore long stick midfielder Tim Culloty.
Dupras put the Ducks ahead by three, 9-6, in the opening 1:20 of the fourth to end his offensive output. Ithaca answered back with 11:07 remaining in the game, but the final tally went to Phlippi off a pass from senior midfielder Taylor Brown to secure the victory and first conference title for Stevens with 9:20 left in the contest.
Freshman Matthew Deiner picked up his fourth straight victory and fifth of the season in 60 minutes of action in cage. Deiner stopped six shots in the win.
That stout Stevens defense caused 11 of the 18 turnovers by Ithaca and scooped up more groundballs, 23-19. The Ducks also forced the Bombers to fail on five of 19 clear attempts, while Stevens was unsuccessful once in 16 tries.
The Ducks would also take more shots than Ithaca in the contest, 37-24.
Stevens will await to see who, where and when it will play in the NCAA Division III Men's Lacrosse Tournament after tomorrow night's Selection Show. No time for the show is available at this moment.

How One Man's Meat Is Another Man's Muse
The 'Meat America' photograph exhibition at the Bambi Gallery is a show case of how one man's meat is another man's muse or rather art! Dominic Episcopo in the exhibition displays photographs that feature pictures that have been made of beef and other meats! His collection includes pictures of Elvis Presley, Abraham Lincoln, American states like Texas, New Jersey all in meat. While Florida was depicted using alligator meat, Alaska had Caribou meat representing it. The exhibition opens at Northern Liberties in Philly.
Butchering, sculpting and photographing various forms the meat was molded into was hard work and took almost two years for the work to be put together. This meat is another man's muse indeed. The meaty muse work continued and dozens of Philly based photographer's works are in exhibition at the show.
If it is any solace, almost all the meat that was used for the photographs and the remains were consumed by Episcopo, his wife, friends and family. Over the course of the months, the meat found its way into meatballs which were frozen. These frozen meatballs were served to hundreds of guests during the first birthday celebration of their son. The meat becomes muse with Episcopo's images appearing in the Bambi Gallery through January 30 at Piazza in Northern Liberties.

The Rise Of American Wine
AFTER TRYING TO PRODUCE DRINKABLE WINE for three hundred years, we finally got the hang of it—so effectively that in the last quarter-century our results have raised the quality of winemaking all over the world
December 1996 | Volume 47, Issue 8
As with most discoveries, the story be- gins with a crucial moment of realization, an eye-opening instant filled with the awareness of new possibility. In this case the moment came twenty years ago, in Paris, where a young Englishman named Stephen Spurrier ran a wine school called L'Arcadé mie du Vin. In May of 1976 Spurrier invited some of the most respected French wine experts of the day to a formal tasting of prestigious classified-growth Bordeaux and grand cru white Burgundy. Spurrier included a number of California Cabernet Sauvignons and Chardonnays in the tasting—in part because of his admiration for these then-obscure wines and in part because of his characteristically British desire to deflate Gallic pretension. This was not the first head-to-head comparison of French and American wines, but it was the first competitive tasting to be held in France with French professionals serving as judges. And it was blind, meaning that the judges had to evaluate and rank the wines without knowing which were which. To everyone's surprise, including Spurrier's, the winning wines turned out to be American—the red a Stag's Leap Wine Cellars 1973 Cabernet and the white a Château Montelena 1973 Chardonnay, both from the Napa Valley. (In second place came two very famous French wines, Château Mouton-Rothschild 1970 and Domaine Roulot 1973 Meursault-Charmes.) The press, which Spurrier had been sure to invite to the tasting, jumped on the story. In France the reaction reflected anger and disbelief, but in America it was pure glee. Writing in The New York Times , Frank Priai noted that Europeans frequently had denigrated American wines by denigrating American tastes. "What," he asked rhetorically, "can they say now?" Time magazine put the case more succinctly: "Last week in Paris the unthinkable happened—California defeated all Gaul."
Of course nothing of the sort had really happened. One event cannot by itself determine supremacy in a field as subjective and changeable as that of wine. Spurrier himself insisted that the Paris tasting should be thought of less as a competition than as a vehicle for discovery—"an opportunity to acknowledge that a young vineyard area can produce top-quality wines, given the same love, interest, skill and money that has been lavished on European vineyards for centuries."
Yet the Paris tasting had farreaching consequences. It demonstrated to Europeans and Americans alike that the United States (and possibly other New World countries) actually could produce world-class wines. In America it inspired the wine industry to raise its standards and to begin thinking of "world class" as a goal. In Europe it led winemakers to look to American wine with a new appreciation and respect. The realization that great wine could come from vineyards that did not have centuries of grape-growing history behind them suggested to people on both sides of the Atlantic that they had to rethink what great wine was all about. In short, the Paris tasting woke everyone up. It presaged radical change, in the Old World as well as the New.

Create a panel containing an array of 16 TextArea components that change color to correspond with the start, stop, and step values entered by the user. Perform the following tasks to create the Checkerboard Array application shown below. When the user enters the start, stop, and step fields and then clicks the Go button, the results are also shown below.
1. Call your application Checkerboard.java
2. You will need the following variables declare them as private:
a. 16 component TextArea array
b. a Panel to hold the array
c. 3 TextField components with length of 10
d. 3 int variables to receive the start, stop, and step values
e. 3 Labels to display the words Start, Stop, and Step
f. a Go button
g. a Clear button
h. a Panel to hold the 3 TextFields, 3 Labels, and the 2 Buttons
3. Create a constructor method to:
a. construct each of the components declared above and initializes the start, stop, and step variables to zero (when constructing the TextArea components, use the following parameters: null, 3, 5, 3)
b. set the Frame layout to BorderLayout
c. write a for loop to loop the array and set each of the 16 TextArea components in that array so they cannot be edited. In the same loop, set each of the TextArea components text to be 1 more than the index number. Also in this same loop, set the background of each of the TextArea components to white.
d. set the Panel for the TextArea components to GridLayout with 4 rows, 4 columns, and both gaps set to 10
e. set the Panel for the TextFields, Labels, and button to GridLayout with 3 rows, 3 columns, and both gaps set to 5
f. add the components to their respective Panels
g. make the buttons clickable
h. place the Panels in the Frame put one in the NORTH and one in the CENTER
i. Enter the addWindowListener() method described in the chapter this is the method that overrides the click of the X so it terminates the application
4. In your actionPerformed() method:
a. convert the data in your TextFields to int and store them in the variables declared above
b. write a loop that goes through the array setting every background color to blue
c. write another loop thats based on the user inputs. Each time the loop is executed, change the background color to yellow (so start your loop at the users specified starting condition. Youll stop at the users specified stopping value. Youll change the fields to yellow every time you increment your loop based on the step value. REMEMBER: Your displayed values are 1 off from your index numbers!!)
5. Write a main() method that creates an instance of the Checkerboard Frame.
a. set the bounds for the frame to 50, 100, 300, 400
b. set the title bar caption to Checkerboard Array
c. use the setVisible() method to display the application Frame during execution
6. After you get all of this complete, include error handling to make sure:
a. the values entered in the TextFields are valid integers
b. the start value is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 16
c. the stop value is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 16
d. the step value is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to 16
e. the start condition is less than the stop condition
f. when an error occurs, give an error message in a dialog box that is specific to their error, remove the text from the invalid field, and put the cursor in that field so the user has a chance to re-enter this can be accomplished by using multiple try/catch statements
g. only change the colors if the numbers are valid
7. Create a clear button as seen in the example below. This button should:
a. clear out all 3 TextFields
b. change the background color of all TextArea array elements to white
c. put the cursor in the start field
8. Document!!

Fryer on football: Week 6's games
Century League
Where, when: El Modena High, Friday, 7 p.m.
The last time: 2011 – Villa Park 28, Foothill 21 (OT)
The series: Foothill leads, 28-13-2
The coaches: Foothill, Doug Case (142-89-4 overall, 92-61-1 at Foothill); Villa Park, Dusan Ancich (31-10)
Outlook: It might be early to describe a game as being for the league championship. But this game just might make the description applicable. Villa Park was favored to win the Century League championship in the preseason coaches' poll. Foothill was picked to finish second. Villa Park might be the more physical of the two, but Foothill certainly can play it tough in the trenches, too. Foothill, averaging 37 points a game, has an advantage in playmakers on offense, with the Moss brothers, Jarrell and Julian. Jarrell has 21 receptions for 321 yards and four touchdowns, Julian has 17 receptions for 374 yards and three touchdowns. They get targeted frequently by Knights quarterback Jack Gilchrist who has completed 63 percent of his passes for 175 yards a game and 11 touchdowns. Villa Park gets a lot done offensively with running back Meki Tafuna, who averages 90 yards a game and 5 yards a carry. These teams engaged in a great game last year. Villa Park won in overtime, 28-21, in overtime. It could be similarly close this time. Look for Foothill big-play its way to victory.
Winner: Foothill

Thursday's schedule
South Coast League
Where, when: Trabuco Hills High, 7 p.m.
Outlook: El Toro and record-setting quarterback Conner Manning whipped their way through the nonleague part of their schedule, going undefeated while winning by an average margin of 32 points. The Chargers were in the Sea View League last year. As part of the 10-school Coast View's arrangement of placing teams in its higher South Coast League or its lower Sea View League sport by sport, El Toro football moved into the South Coast League. It is quite a step forward in competition. San Clemente is not the team it was last year, when it reached the Pac-5 Division championship game. The Tritons have played the past couple of weeks without starting quarterback Sean Donnelly, but he could make his return in this game. That will help the San Clemente offense. But the Tritons simply cannot match the offensive firepower that El Toro has with Manning and the Chargers' deep group of receivers.
Winner: El Toro
Also Thursday (all games 7 p.m.)

Friday's schedule
Garden Grove League
Where, when: Bolsa Grande High, 7 p.m.
Outlook: The preseason poll of Garden Grove League coaches had Rancho Alamitos as the league favorite, but by only a slim margin over Garden Grove and Los Amigos. So this league opener is a crucial one and could set the tone for the remainder of league play. Rancho Alamitos has beaten a group of teams that mostly are longshots to make the playoffs. The ones the Vaqueros have defeated are a combined 4-16. Rancho's loss was to 2-3 Sonora. The Vaqueros do not have that one offensive standout they have had so often in years past. Los Amigos does have such a player. Running back Jerry Saldivar, a 5-foot-6, 160-pound senior, is averaging 177 rushing yards a game and 7 yards a game. Neither team throws the ball much, but that is typical of the Garden Grove League. Rancho Alamitos' defense has to limit Saldivar's production. The thinking here is that the Vaqueros do so and get the victory.
Winner: Rancho Alamitos
Sea View League
Where, when: San Juan Hills High, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Plenty of our rockin' readership is aghast that a 2-3 team (Servite) can be in the Orange County top 10 while an undefeated team like San Juan Hills is not even in the top 25. We're big on strength of schedule, pals. While the Stallions and first-year coach Aaron Flowers deserve laud for going from 0-10 last season to 6-0 this season, San Juan Hills has not conquered any mountains. The teams the Stallions have defeated are a combined 13-20. Last week's 27-14 victory over Dos Pueblos of Goleta might have been their best one, as Dos Pueblos at the time was ranked No. 9 in the CIF-Southern Section's Western Division. Laguna Hills' record is a bit deceiving. The Hawks beat Corona del Mar in the season opener, but that victory became a forfeit when it was discovered that Laguna Hills used an illegible player. Their one true loss was to Foothill, 31-0. Laguna Hills coach Bruce Ingalls' team is having a better season than he is. Ingalls last week had to undergo hip replacement surgery to fix a previous hip replacement that did not take. The outcome of this one should make him feel better.
Winner: Laguna Hills
Where, when: Aliso Niguel High, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Dana Hills might be the best 1-4 team in county football. The Dolphins have played a tough schedule. Their losses are to teams that are a combined 19-8. Dana Hills got its first victory last week in a 22-7 triumph over Irvine. Aliso Niguel beat Woodbridge, 50-41, last week as quarterback Nathan Cole passed for a school-record 491 yards. He completed passes to seven receivers. Dana Hills might be the more physical of the two teams. While its offense has been averaging only 15 points a game, it has happened against the aforementioned tough competition. Aliso is scoring at a 44 points a game clip that it won't reach in this game. But if Aliso's offensive line can protect Cole enough so that he can string together completions here and there, Aliso Niguel will win.
Winner: Aliso Niguel
Sunset League
Where, when: Huntington Beach High, 7 p.m.
Outlook: Notice those teams are ranked right next to each other. Close, yes, and the outcome could be close, too. Fountain Valley lost a tight one to Trabuco Hills, 21-14, two weeks ago before taking their bye week last week. Barons quarterback Chris d'Entremont has completed 60 percent of his passes and is averaging 178 passing yards a game. That's not Conner Manning stuff, but that's a fine average for a high school quarterback. Fountain Valley receiver Jason Baker has 20 catches for 315 yards and five touchdowns. Huntington Beach is led by dynamic junior quarterback Kai Ross. Ross is averaging 83 rushing yards a game and 125 passing yards a game. Huntington Beach is a young-ish team, without many senior starters. The Oilers beat Fountain Valley, 30-12, last year. Fountain Valley is the better team this year.
Winner: Fountain Valley.
Trinity League
Where, when: Saddleback College, 7 p.m.
Outlook: After being shut out two weeks in a row for the first time in 19 years, Servite scored points last week in a 38-6 victory over St. Paul of Santa Fe Springs. No, the Servite team bus stereo did not play the "Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's "Messiah" on the return trip to Anaheim. Travis Waller, a sophomore, played quarterback in place of injured junior Neil Pauu and Waller probably will the start in this one, too. Junior running back Andrew Moore had a fine game for Servite, rushing for 151 yards and two touchdowns. Notice the words "sophomore" and "junior" keep appearing here. That's a big part of Servite's unsteadiness so far this season. There are only a few senior starters for the Friars. Santa Margarita is missing one of its top seniors. Quarterback Johnny Stanton is out for the rest of the season because of a knee injury. It might be Josh Canty at quarterback in this game, it might be Kyle Sweet, it might be both or even three different guys. Santa Margarita had a bye last week, giving Coach Harry Welch and company a couple of weeks to work it out. Give Welch two weeks to solve a challenge, and see what happens. The Eagles will miss Stanton, but they still have enough playmakers on offense with Ryan Wolpin, River Cracraft and more. The defense remains solid, and don't forget the team's offensive and defense lines still might be the best units in the county. Servite has beaten Santa Margarita seven times in a row. That streak ends in this one.
Winner: Santa Margarita
Where, when: Orange Coast College, 7:30 p.m.
Outlook: So Lutheran is cruising along, gathering momentum and confidence while going undefeated in nonleague play. The same has happened with JSerra. Here comes the concrete wall that we call The Trinity League. Bosco is 1-4, but is 5-0 on the field. The Braves had to forfeit its first four victories for using an ineligible player, a player who already had used up his eight semesters of athletic eligibility. Bosco sophomore quarterback Josh Rosen has completed 64 percent of his passes for 180 yards a game and 13 touchdowns with three interceptions. Ex-Lutheran receiver A.J. Holman is Bosco's leading receiver, with 21 receptions for 323 yards and five touchdowns. Lutheran, under first-year coach Chuck Petersen, has been running the ball well. Tavi Jimmerson is averaging 116 yards a game and 7 yards a carry. It does not look like Lutheran has played the type of nonleague scheduled that would get the Lancers prepared for the Trinity League. The combined record of Lancers opponents is 8-17. They have played one Pac-5 opponent in nonleague games, and that was 0-5 Long Beach Wilson. St. John Bosco's nonleague schedule included a 45-0, pre-forfeit victory over Loyola of Los Angeles which, with the forfeit victory, is 6-0, and a 54-7 victory over Lakewood, which is 5-1 including the forfeit victory.

Old Saybrook — Incumbent Rep. Marilyn Giuliano, R-23rd District, will serve a sixth term representing Old Lyme, Lyme, Old Saybrook and Westbrook. She defeated Democratic candidate Adam Stillman on Tuesday.
Giuliano won a total of 7,387 votes in the towns, while Stillman picked up 4,665, according to unofficial results.
Giuliano won 2,986 to 1,921 in Old Saybrook, 833 to 586 in Lyme, 2,693 to 1,653 in Old Lyme, and 875 to 505 Westbrook, according to preliminary results. In Old Lyme, the numbers reflect nearly 70 percent of registered voters, while the numbers in Lyme reflect nearly 78 percent.
Giuliano said her win Tuesday indicates that people want an affordable Connecticut. She called the results a referendum on the government's spending and tax raises.
"I'm very grateful for the voters and their confidence in me," she said.
Both Giuliano and Stillman are Old Saybrook residents who stressed the importance of boosting the economy in their campaigns.
Giuliano, 59, a psychologist for the Lyme–Old Lyme Public Schools, is the minority party leader of the Education Committee and a member of the Appropriations Committee.
Stillman, 45, a lawyer who serves on the Old Saybrook Zoning Board of Appeals, ran a campaign focusing on the economy, the environment and civil liberties.
The candidates spent all or part of Election Day greeting voters throughout the district's towns.
Stillman said running for state representative was a great experience, as he got the opportunity to meet people from other towns, such as Old Lyme. He will reassess closer to the next election if he will run again.
"We ran a nice campaign," he said.

A reverence for woodThe special knowledge of which wood is suited to which task, the ready identification of native trees, the reverence for wood, the instinctive knowledge that wood can warm the soul as well as the body -- these virtues of a bygone age are revived in Eric Sloane's remarkable work. Heavily illustrated, with a section on identification of nearly sixty native trees, A REVERENCE FOR WOOD provides an illuminating view of the resource that made possible so much of the early settlement of North America. |

If you're like most marketers, you've been using social networks to push out your latest messages – promotions, sales, thought capital, etc. – and maybe have occasional interactions with customer and prospects. You've probably also been working hard to increase your followers and likes. And as more social networks such as Google+ and Pinterest have emerged, you've likely established a presence on these sites and begun pushing out your content on these platforms too.
These are all good and necessary first steps for social marketing. But ah, there's so much more. In 2013, consider looking beyond social as a stand-alone channel and beginning to consider how social can be integrated into ALL your channels. For starters, just put yourself in your customers' shoes:
Now imagine they see a Tweet from a friend about your cool offer and click through, only to arrive at your page and find a bunch of corporate-speak and a 15-field form. Talk about bringing your relationship momentum to a screeching halt.
Today, an "antisocial" feel on ANY of your channels can hinder your marketing efforts, so it's smart to evaluate the social component of each one. To get you started, here's a look at four key channels social is impacting today, along with some quick starter ideas for how you might approach them to enable a more relevant customer experience:
1) Search: In the constantly evolving world of search, it now takes more than a few strategically placed keywords and inbound links to move you up in the rankings. As social has exploded, search engine algorithms have shifted to place more weight on social media. The number of people who retweet your content or the traffic driven to your blog post via social, for example, helps determine where you rank. Similarly, video is popping up more in search results. The takeaway? Your content (see #3 below) must be conducive to social sharing for you to thrive in search.
2) Website: Many sites have been loosely connected with social in the past – a social "follow" icon here, a "share this" graphic there. In 2013, try bringing social data into your website to build trust. For example, you might include info such as number of downloads, user ratings and customer comments beside your content or products. True, you lose some control of the message, but by sharing the opinions of other buyers you'll enhance the visitor experience and ultimately build trust in your brand.
3) Content: Think about what drives social sharing of your content. It's likely that one of the biggest factors is how uniquely relevant it is to each of your customers and prospects. So, make it a point to brainstorm new ways you can drive personalization – perhaps by adding more behavioral marketing elements into your campaigns – and connect your content with social conversations. If you're not already doing so, take a look at embedding content with social sharing options and consider building campaigns around sharing in 2013.
4) Apps: Does your company have a mobile app to help increase engagement with the growing number of smartphone and tablet users? Smart move. Once you've got your app, though, it's time to think about the biggest factors in whether a customer downloads it. In most cases, the number of people who downloaded an app and how they rated it are the most critical drivers of future downloads. So, think about how you as a marketer can best respond to what people are saying and how they're engaging with your app. Perhaps an app email welcome program that educates users on how to get the most out of your app might increase customer satisfaction and boost ratings.
So, what new social strategies do you think are critical to success in 2013? Share your thoughts, check out my video below on social in 2013, and please let me know if you have any questions on the concepts outlined here.

Redington Reels
I purchased 2 Redington Reels in Feb, 2000. I use the 7/8 for Salt, and 5/6 for fresh. I hav fished the 7/8 everday since April, 4 hours per day. I have found the performance to be outstanding. The drag has held up just fine, the largest fish being a 38" Striper, with several in the 25-33" range. I have not had any drag related failures. I do take very good care of the reel, and I think that is the key to keeping the drag smooth. Another friend has the same reel, and NEVER cleans, lubes, or rinses it, and has had one freeze on a 29" Striper. He cleans and lubes it now. I have an Abel Super 8, and find that to be a superior reel too, however I find myself taking the Redington every morning. The wooden post/handle cracked and fell apart, but the fly shop gave me a new one. Spool cahnges are fine, and the sharp edge hasn't been a problem. Start up and smoothness during a run is fine wet or dry. I like cork drags as with the Abel because cork is more consistent, but so far the Redington has been worth the price in every respect.
RE:Redington Reels
Great testimonial. I liked what I saw price/performance wise and have been curious what people would say at the *end* of this season about them. Chalk one up for Murph and his new reels, bringing quality stuff at working man's prices - and a top warranty to boot.
I haven't bought one yet but appreciate you sharing your good experiences with them. |
RE:Redington Reels
I have the 5/6 Gold for my 9' 5wt rod. I used it Idaho on the Henry's Fork. I like everything about it except for the reel handle. I think it is a little too small and is hard to take up line fast. For smaller trout it doesn't really matter but on the big guys it is important. I prefered the Bauer Little Mac more. It is a beautiful reel and has a molded larger handle.
RE:Redington Reels
I bought my redington 9/10LA earlier this summer and on it's first outing the drag made some wierd noises and hitched a bit on the fast runs. There were no problems after that(mid-july) until last nite. I was fishing in roug surf and catching nice fish all nite, but towards the end of the evening the drag started making noises again and hitched a little, not as bad as the first time, but still worrisome, especially since i'm going to MV this weekend to try to hookup with my first tunoid. I wash/wipe down/oil&grease the reel after every use, so it's not like it's being neglected.
I think it just doesn't like being submerged. Both times i had problems i was wading in rough waters and was knocked down by the surf more than once, submerging the reel. It seems to be ok now, but i'm going out tonite to (hopefully) test it before the weekend. Matt |
RE:Redington Reels
I had the same problem with the standard arbor 9/10 (same mechanisms). Believe its the spool click pin hanging up. My problem occurred after having fished one night, left the stuff in the car(didn't rinse after use),then fished in the morning. I took the reel apart per the instructions, cleaned and lubed. The click pin will get gummed up with oxide/rust so you want to clean that up real good. Then apply a bit of lithium grease to to the click pin and click spring. I have not had a problem since. But, if I thought I was going to get into tunoids or something I'd just remove the pin all together to be safe.
Regards, Fred A. |
RE:Redington Reels
Well, I really put the redington 9/10 through the paces this weekend on MV. It handled my first 3 flyrod albies from shore with amazing aplomb. I never even had to think about the reel during the fights with these amazing fish(which is huge, since my mind was already on overload after seeing the first fish take in knee deep water with less than a foot of flyline outside my rod, what a rush!). After this weekend I'm a believer, the redingtons are for real.

Pumpkin works great for lose stools or constipation. Just pure canned pumpkin not anything with sugar or or added ingredients. I keep several cans on my dog truck for such problems while I'm on the road. I just cut back for one feeding to 1/2 ration & add 1/2 can of pumpkin. You should see immediate results. If still loose cut back food by 1/2 again & add 1/2 can of pumpkin. Cheap & natural - and it works.

What about metronidazole? Just took my pup to the vet Friday for suspected Giardia. The vet and I knew she was exposed to it, but he couldn't see anything on the slide. He decided to treat anyway with Metronidazole. A client of mine had her dog test positive for it last week and her vet also prescribed the same thing. No Panacur prescribed, though I did ask if he was going to give pup a worming agent -he said no.
What interested me is that he said some dogs build up an immunity to it in varying degrees. We live in a wet coastal area with lots of cows and pasture and cow ponds and creeks. Giardia is prevalent. My vet, who has lived and practiced here for 20 plus years said he estimates that at least half of all local dogs have it, but with little detrimental effects due to an immunity to it.
I had never heard this before.
"Power is of two kinds. One is obtained through the fear of punishment and the other by acts of love. Power based on love is a thousand times more effective and permanent than the one derived from fear of punishment." Mahatma Gandhi
Isn't there a vaccine that helps build immunity to giardia?
