The Jacket
From Quotes
Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that but simply growth, We are happy when we are growing.William Butler Yeats
The Jacket is a 2005 psychological thriller film about a military veteran who returns to his native Vermont suffering from bouts of amnesia. It is directed by John Maybury and written by Massy Tadjedin.
Jack Starks
- The real events that have happened to me have been fucked up, not my mind!
- I was 27 years old the first time I died. I remember there was white everywhere. There was war and I felt alive, but really I was dead.
- Sometimes I think we live through things only to be able to say that it happened. That it wasn't to someone else, it was to me. Sometimes we live to beat the odds. I'm not crazy even though they thought I was. I live in the same world as everyone else. I just saw more of it, as I'm sure you have. They'll find my body tomorrow. You can check it out if you don't believe me. I've seen life after my death, and I'm telling you this because it's the only way to help you and your daughter have a better life of your own. Jean, you're gonna pass out one day smoking a cigarette and burn to death. Your daughter grows up living the same life you're living right now. And she misses you so much. Sometimes life can only really begin with the knowledge of death. That it can all end, even when you least want it to. The important thing in life is to believe that while you're alive, it's never too late. I promise you, Jean, no matter how bad things look, they look better awake than they do asleep. When you die, there's only one thing you want to happen. You wanna come back.

- For me... that is a really difficult question Dr. Laurenson, because the world around me is shrinking... and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are comin' to see me today, and they're not bringing flowers which... just makes it real difficult to get organized.

Crosby extends point streak to 6 games, Penguins crush listless Capitals 5-2NHL.com @NHLdotcom
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Sidney Crosby extended his points streak to six games with a goal and two assists and the Pittsburgh Penguins pounded the lifeless Washington Capitals 5-2 on Thursday night.
Evgeni Malkin also added a goal and two assists while Pascal Dupuis, James Neal and Matt Cooke scored for the Penguins, who have won five straight. Pittsburgh's revamped power play produced three goals, while Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 23 shots for the Penguins, who moved atop the Eastern Conference standings by beating Washington at home in regulation for the first time in more than five years.
Alex Ovechkin and Mike Ribeiro scored for Washington but couldn't stop the NHL's worst team from losing for the fifth time in its last six games. Michal Neuvirth made nine saves for the Capitals before getting pulled for Braden Holtby, who promptly let in three goals in his first seven minutes on the ice.

Scoring chance lost on interference call
KANSAS CITY -- Was it batter's interference?
The batter, Lorenzo Cain, didn't think so. But the plate umpire, Chad Fairchild, did, and it's his opinion that counted.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Was it batter's interference?
The batter, Lorenzo Cain, didn't think so. But the plate umpire, Chad Fairchild, did, and it's his opinion that counted.View Full Game Coverage
The result was that a splendid scoring opportunity was squelched in the eighth inning of the Royals' 2-1 loss to the Tigers on Friday night.
"I didn't think it was a good call at all. It was a big difference in the ballgame," Cain said. "It could have been a runner on third, no outs, and that was a huge key in the game. We could have probably got that run in. I definitely didn't like it all."
Here's what happened:
Nori Aoki singled off reliever Joba Chamberlain. With Cain at the plate, Aoki took off for second, and catcher Bryan Holaday's throw was wide and went into center field. Fairchild immediately signaled that Cain was out for interference even as Aoki was reaching third base. Aoki was sent back to first base.
"We put a hit-and-run on, and I was watching Nori's jump," manager Ned Yost said. "I glanced and saw Lo's swing and looked back at Nori, so I really didn't see what happened. The umpire said that there was contact -- Cain swung and leaned over the plate and there was contact, thus interference. I haven't had a chance to see the replay, but it definitely changed the momentum in the game at that point."
It sure did, because Eric Hosmer followed with a single, with Aoki advancing to second base. Then both Salvador Perez and Billy Butler flied out to center, and the inning was over.
"I was following through with my swing," Cain said. "I don't know what the rules are, but I guess the catcher had to make contact with you. But I didn't think he made contact with me. I didn't think I affected his throw at all."
The pertinent rule, 6.06, states: A batter is out for illegal action when (c) He interferes with the catcher's fielding or throwing by stepping out of the batter's box or making any other movement that hinders the catcher's play at home base.
Yost, a former catcher, gave his interpretation of the rule: "If the hitter swings and he's in his box, it's not interference. If you swing and you're leaning out over the plate, even though your feet are in the box and you make contact ... it's interference. ... It's based on contact and not giving the catcher a free lane to throw."
Holaday, for his part, said that he had to alter his motion.
"I had to shorten up my stride, and even [then] my throwing hand hit him on the shoulder when I came through," Haladay said.
Said Fairchild: "It was batter's interference on the swing. He interfered with the throw going to second base."
And no, this play is not subject to challenge under the new instant replay procedure.
"He threw it, and I thought the ball was well on its way before he kind of leaned into me," Cain said. "I don't know if he touched me or not, but I don't think I affected him at all. I don't think it was a good judgment call at all."

This year has been extremely hard for many of our friends and neighbors in Montezuma County. The county has enacted two emergency declarations, once for the Weber Fire near Mancos and again for the Roatcap Fire near Dolores. The impacts on those citizens who were affected were extremely stressful and trying. These impacts are always a concern to those law enforcement agencies, fire departments and all other agencies who respond. Overall, the cooperation and support from our citizens to emergency responders has been nothing short of amazing and is greatly appreciated by everyone involved.
During the Roatcap Fire, there was one unfortunate incident that has been highly publicized in the county. As the deputy emergency manager for Montezuma County, I want to take this opportunity to explain the objectives of the initial attack or response phase so that our citizens are better prepared to respond to future emergencies.
The emergency responders have two primary goals or objectives during the initial response or initial attack phase of any incident or emergency. First and foremost is life safety. This includes both public safety and the safety of those personnel who respond. The initial response phase can range from minutes to hours, even days, depending on the complexity of the incident.
During the Roatcap Fire, with the fire spreading rapidly, the law enforcement element was tasked to do several things with only limited number of deputies on duty. They were tasked to conduct two roadblocks, go house to house to conduct mandatory evacuations, and control traffic for firefighter personnel and other emergency responders. Unless human life safety was concerned, no one was allowed to enter the area.
The second goal for the emergency responders is (in laymens terms) to get their arms wrapped around the incident or to start to control the chaos. Initially, the responders are trying to gather intelligence about the situation (how severe, is everyone accounted for, resources needed, damage assessment, etc.). The initial attack no matter how experienced, well trained, and well equipped responders are will never be completely fluent until numerous questions are answered and appropriate resources arrive on scene.
In both the Weber Fire and Roatcap Fire, Sheriff Dennis Spruell understood the concerns of people affected by the fire. After the initial response phase and after consulting with other responding agency authorities to ensure it was safe to do so, Sheriff Spruell authorized deputies and other law enforcement personnel to escort people into evacuated areas to check on their homes, gather items such as clothing, medications, pets or animals, etc. This was both the right time and right way to address the needs of our public without jeopardizing the safety of our citizens and response personnel during these emergencies.
In any future emergencies, I would like to ask all citizens to be patient and to follow all requests given by law enforcement/response personnel. As soon as resources and the situation allow, individual needs will be addressed.
I would like to thank all of our citizens for their great support and cooperation during these emergencies.
Paul Hollar is deputy emergency manager for Montezuma County.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. -- Louis Oosthuizen isn't making big plans to see Merion ahead of the U.S. Open because he's not sure he will be there. His wife, Nel-Mare, is expecting their third child on the Saturday of the tournament.
In a perfect world, she will have the baby the weekend before.
''But if it's during the U.S. Open, I won't play,'' Oosthuizen said. ''If it's Monday and she hasn't gone into labor, I probably won't go. When the doctor said the date, I looked at the calendar and said, 'Wow. Well done.' But family is more important.''
His other two children were born in December and February, so the South African hasn't had to cope with babies born around the majors.
OGILVY GETS HIS MATCH: Geoff Ogilvy missed out on the WGC-Accenture Match Play Championship in Arizona when he plunged in the world ranking, a tough blow for a guy who has won the event twice and reached the championship match another time.
But he won't be shut out from his favorite format.
Ogilvy was on the charter from Sawgrass to Bulgaria to take part in the European Tour's Volvo World Match Play Championship this week. His agent called him a few weeks ago to make sure he had no plans to play the HP Byron Nelson Championship and to let him know he might get in the Volvo Match Play.
''It wasn't even on my radar,'' Ogilvy said after missing the cut at The Players Championship.
Ian Poulter is the defending champion in a 24-man field that includes Graeme McDowell and Henrik Stenson. There are eight groups of three players who play a round-robin format with the top two advancing to single elimination.
''It's a good format for me, probably – hopefully,'' said Ogilvy, who is having a year to forget. He not only failed to qualify for the Accenture Match Play in Arizona, he narrowly missed out on the Masters. He already has missed seven cuts this year. Match play is his favorite format, so maybe this can shake things up for him.
''Besides, when am I ever going to go to Bulgaria again,'' Ogilvy said. ''And it's a match play tournament. And they're getting us there easily. And I wasn't going to play Dallas, anyway. Why not at this point?''
DIVOTS: Jimmy Walker has made 22 consecutive cuts, the longest active streak on the PGA Tour and only 120 tournaments short of Tiger Woods' record. ... Sandy Dawson of Australia, former captain and now president of Royal Sydney Golf Club, has been appointed captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews for 2013-14. He is only the second Australian appointed to the post. ... Ernie Ransom, president of Pine Valley Golf Club from 1977 through 2001, died last week at age 86. ... Phil Mickelson has confirmed that he will return to the Scottish Open at Castle Stuart, a week before the British Open. ... The European Tour returns to Denmark next year for the first time since 2003. The name of the tournament is ''Made in Denmark.''
STAT OF THE WEEK: For the second time in his career, Tiger Woods won his last tournament before the Masters and his first tournament after the Masters.
FINAL WORD: ''Nobody has ever sued the tour for being cleared of getting a drug violation.'' – Padraig Harrington on Vijay Singh's lawsuit

When you yourselves know: 'These things are good; these things are not blamable; these things are praised by the wise; undertaken and observed, these things lead to benefit and happiness,' enter on and abide in them.

The key ingredient in any AC system is refrigerant (more commonly known by its trade name, Freon) which is compressed by a compressor into a high pressure gas where it's released into a closed loop of copper tubing. The blower, which serves both the AC and the furnace, is attached to ducts which function as pathways to move it throughout the house. Star Idaho conditioning and cooling reviews. The system is controlled by the thermostat. The evaporator and blower (also called the handler) unit are located inside the home, usually in a basement, attic, or closet.

This outside coil is called the condenser because the refrigerant is condensing from a gas back to a fluid just like moisture on a cold window. The entire system will normally give about three times the cooling energy that the compressor uses. Star Idaho AC conditioner – conditioning repair. This odd fact happens because the changing of refrigerant from a liquid to a gas and back again lets the system move much more energy than the compressor uses. From that point, the condenser or outdoor unit then turns the refrigerant vapor back into a liquid, removing any heat. By the time the fluid leaves the evaporator again, it is a cool, low-pressure gas, eventually returning to the condenser to begin its trip all over again.

This works just like the cooling that happens when water evaporates from your skin. The evaporator coil is filled with a special liquid called a refrigerant, which changes from a liquid to a gas as it absorbs heat from the air. The refrigerant is pumped outside the house to another coil where it gives up its heat and changes back into a liquid. A pump, called a compressor, is used to move the refrigerant between the two coils and to change the pressure of the refrigerant so that the refrigerant evaporates or condenses in the appropriate coils. The energy to do all of this is used by the motor that runs the compressor. The United States consumes more energy for air conditioning than any other country.

About Instrument Amplifiers
For electronic instruments, amplifiers are absolutely essential. And they don't just stop there: even an acoustic show can make a really good case for an amp if you're playing a big venue and need to be heard all the way up in the nosebleed section. There are tons of different amplifiers to choose from, so no matter what instrument you play or where you plan to play it, you can find the right hardware here to really bring your performance home.
One of the first decisions you should make is whether you're looking for a combo amplifier or a standalone model. The difference between the two is simple: combo amps have built-in speakers for an all-in-one enclosure, while discrete amplifier heads need to be connected to a separate speaker cabinet for them to produce sound. In most cases, the biggest differences are power and versatility. Standalone amp heads can be connected directly to mixers or to your choice of speaker cabinet and they're available in higher power levels. That makes them great for recording, customizability, and playing huge venues in which a combo just isn't big enough. Where the combo amps do have the advantage, though, is in convenience and portability. You can still get some solid power out of a big combo amp, and with just one unit to bring onto the stage, everything is more straightforward.
When we think of amplifiers, the first instruments that pop into our heads are probably the electric guitar and bass - but those are just the beginning. Not only can any electronic instrument use an amp directly, but by simply connecting a microphone, you expand that potential to any instrument at all. This is one reason for all the variety you'll find here: there are guitar and bass amps, of course, but also keyboard amplifiers, electric drum amps and even acoustic models that you can use to amplify practically any instrument. The bottom line is that whenever you want your performance to be heard, there's an amplifier ready to make it happen. Once you start narrowing down the choices here based on your instrument of choice, power needs and preferences, you're sure to discover the amp that's perfect for you.

The documentary genre is perhaps the best method for presenting the world of pro wrestling on film; most stories from the ring wars and backstage dramas often seem trite when told as fiction. Give your average wrestler a few minutes to tell their story, though, and you'll usually have a world-class narrative.
So it is with Marshall Ward's film Live for Sunday, an explication on the current whereabouts and happenings of Jimmy Valiant (either "Handsome" or "Boogie-Woogie" depending on your favourite memories).
The film premiered at the Guelph, Ontario Indie Film and Music Festival on September 22nd, and is to be screened in Waterloo, Ontario, right next door to Ward's hometown of Kitchener, on October 7th at 7:00 p.m. Marshall Ward spent some time after the Guelph premiere talking to SLAM! Wrestling to preview the Waterloo screening.
As opposed to the still pre-eminent wrestling documentary, Hitman Hart, of which Paul Jay has suggested that it wasn't exclusively Bret Hart himself who drew the filmmaker to the story, Marshall Ward is unabashedly up-front about his reasons for making this film.
"It was a dream come true to meet Jimmy," Ward admits, exuding excitment over the phone. He vividly recalls going to a house show in Kitchener as a youngster mainly because his friends were going -- he didn't have more than a passing interest in wrestling at the time. That night, though, changed his whole outlook on the sport and started him on the road to what he admits is an obsession of wrestling.
"Jimmy Valiant was to wrestle Harley Race that night, but it was changed and he ended up fighting The Great Kabuki in an NWA U.S. title match," he recalls. "It left such an indelible mark -- I didn't even know wrestling was a scripted spectacle at that time. From that point on, though, for the 12 or so times that wrestling came to Kitchener, I camped out all night so I could get those front row tickets."
Ward went on to garner a small measure of fame in Kitchener, appearing in the Kitchener-Waterloo Record newspaper with his massive collection of wrestling figures and a mountainous stack of magazines behind him. Yet, after all the videos he's collected and events that he's attended, there's always been one man that loomed over everything: Jimmy Valiant.
While wrestling remained a passionate interest, Ward developed his own career as an artist and found his skills best put to use in the visual arts, with his work literally admired around the world. Afterwards, as he began teaching Art at Wilfred Laurier University, the last thing he would have considered himself to be was a filmmaker.
Ward explains that the ease of entry into filmmaking offered by low-cost equipment, especially in the world of documentaries, started the wheels turning and he began exploring the possibility of focusing a film on his childhood idol.
"I had made two documentaries previously with Bill Boehlen and Mike Seto, and they knew I was a wrestling fan," Ward explains. His previous films, Behind the Robe and Love Will Set You Free, Jay Semko: An Approach to Songwriting, created a comfort and trust among himself, Boehlen and Seto, a dynamic that would prove crucial to allowing Ward to chase down his dream.
"I found out he had a wrestling website and I realized I could approach someone like Valiant and come to his school," Ward recalls. "On email he said yes, be my guest and come on down. I didn't know much about who he was, but I had read he was a nice man and that he and his wife Angel were very welcoming."
Ward was about to take a risk that many people decide is not worth the potential reward: would he finally come face to face with a hero and be sadly disappointed by the actual person? "When I got there he was everything I could have wanted and more," Ward declares.
At this point Ward responds to the question that this all sounds too good to be true. If Valiant is such an accommodating person, and Ward is such a huge fan, frankly, is there an interesting story to be told or is this film going to be a love-in for Valiant fans only?
"What was so unexpected was that his school welcomes young people who I don't think any other wrestling school would bring in," Ward says in response. "There are a lot of guys who have special needs, there was a special Olympian there, there were people that have physical deficiencies and mental deficiencies. Some guys were off the streets -- they just didn't have a chance and that was the beauty of being there. Jimmy was so nurturing."
The film therefore relies very little on Ward's realization of a lifelong dream, and even less so on Valiant's past antics and glory as a wrestler. In fact, due to what Ward categorizes as an "independent budget in every way," the filmmakers have extremely limited access to past publicity or video materials -- even though Valiant said they could use whatever they wanted.
"Jimmy is a funny guy," Marshall says with a laugh. "He seems to ... not be in touch with reality in regards to copyright. He offered up all these videos but we can't use them. What we did was to be careful about scanning pictures from Pro Wrestling Illustrated." Ward used a contact at PWI to make sure that what they were doing was appropriate and allowed, and they proceeded to painstakingly pry what images they could from the archives.
With so little material available from the past, therefore, Ward was forced to focus on the present. He admits to not pre-planning any kind of storyline (and it should be noted that, although most people associate documentary filmmaking with the un-planned "Direct Cinema" style, many productions take great care in targeting what kind of story they want to tell), and the trust previously mentioned was critical towards the filmmaking team's success in venturing to Virginia, for a tiny window of only three days, and coming home with a story intact.
Ward, for his part, continually credits Valiant's school with providing a natural basis for an intriguing film. "It was such a family atmosphere -- it was such a supportive atmosphere," he says. "He tries to help these people reach their dream of wrestling somewhere on the independent circuit, but he doesn't give any delusions, doesn't let anybody think they're going to the WWE or TNA."
"Jimmy trains them and tries to get them out to wrestle, sometimes just in front of 20 people," Ward relates. "He believes that everybody should be given a chance. And I'm such a big fan that I don't see myself as being much different than them."
As for the full audience potential for the film, including the potential for bringing in non-wrestling fans, Ward is very cognizant of the select audience he is likely to reach. "I'm hoping that it resonates with anyone who had a childhood hero -- the power of dreams and the importance of heroes," Ward says in conclusion. "But I don't think for a moment that it will win over wrestling fans -- it's just a really colourful, fun film."
In truth, any film with Jimmy Valiant as the focus would be hard-pressed to not be colourful or fun.
Dave Hillhouse is a screenwriter and professor living in the Niagara region. Maybe, just maybe, this will give him the inspiration he needs to track down The Goon for a documentary. Yes -- he loved The Goon. You can find Dave on Facebook if you want to admit that you loved him too.

Baking is as much science as it is art, and you can make the whole experience a lot merrier with the right tools, ingredients and techniques.
Before you get started, take stock of your kitchen.
Use the best quality ingredients you can afford. For instance, always use pure unsalted butter and real vanilla extract.
Also, unless you're a pro, stick to the ingredients called for in the recipe. Whole-wheat flour doesn't act the same way as all-purpose; steel-cut oats have a completely different texture than rolled; and baking soda and baking powder are not interchangeable, just for a few examples.
And make sure your ingredients are fresh! It may be tempting to use the leftover glace cherries, chocolate or pecans from last Christmas, but don't. Nuts, butter, seeds and other oily ingredients will go rancid in that time, and will almost certainly taste bitter and old. Dried fruits will turn to leather or hard little pellets. Spices will lose their flavour after six months. And chocolate is even more likely to spoil.
Always buy fresh. And if you find yourself throwing out too much stuff, maybe buy a little less this year.
Unless the recipe says otherwise, always follow these tips:
Finally, all your baking questions are answered in The Art & Soul of Baking, by Cindy Mushet for Sur La Table (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $44). It's well worth checking out.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Lipscomb women's golf team will return to play at the TSU Big Blue Intercollegiate scheduled for Monday. Originally a two-day event, the intercollegiate has been shortened to just one day, March 24.
The event was shortened due to the expected cold weather forecast.
The 18-hole event will consist of a four-team field: Lipscomb, Trevecca, Belmont and the host Tennessee State.
The teams will be competing at the Hermitage Golf Club on the General's Retreat course. The 18 holes spread over 6,645 yards.
The event will tee-off at 10:30 Monday.
The Lady Bisons are returning to the links after taking part in the Dr. Donnis Thompson Invitational in Honolulu, Hi. earlier in March.
In a 15-team field that featured multiple top-50 ranked teams in the nation, Lipscomb finished the event in 14th.
Sami Khan had the best three-round total for Lipscomb, carding rounds of 73-77-83 for a 36th place finish.
Check back with LipscombSports.com on Monday for a full recap, including comments from Lipscomb's coach Buddy Harston.

The Republican convention reached an exciting climax Thursday, with Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan and their families waving from the stage to throngs of wildly cheering delegates as 120,000 red, white and blue balloons were released from the ceiling and immediately, for security reasons, shot down by Secret Service snipers.
Before that, Mitt gave a strong acceptance speech, presenting his vision for America, and then — as part of the ongoing effort to establish his humanity — stripping off his dress shirt to reveal a back zit the size of a quarter. Adding to the glamour of the night was surprise speaker Clint Eastwood, who gave a gruff-yet-eloquent endorsement of the Romney-Ryan ticket, then decked a hippie.
So overall, it was a highly successful convention for the Republicans, who are now getting out of Tampa whatever way they can, including digging tunnels under the security perimeter. Over the next few days, the thousands of law-enforcement personnel, media people and protesters will also leave, and the actual residents of Tampa will emerge, blinking, from wherever they've been hiding. In time, the miles of butt-ugly fences and barricades and NO PARKING and ROAD CLOSED signs will be removed, and people will once again be able to venture downtown and patronize local businesses, and Tampa will gradually recover.
Then some day, years from now, some civic visionary will propose that, to enhance its national stature and reap vast financial benefits, Tampa should host another national political convention. And the people of Tampa, if they have any sense at all, will beat that visionary to death with sticks.
But getting back to the convention: The Republicans are fired up about their ticket after listening to three days of carefully themed speeches, which for your convenience I have condensed here into a single All-Purpose Republican Convention Speech:
"Good evening. I stand before you tonight as the lieutenant governor of a critical swing state as well as a member of a minority group and CEO of the nation's third-largest manufacturer of curtain rods.
"Yes, I am living the American dream. But let me tell you about my childhood. My family was dirt poor. In fact we didn't even have enough dirt to go around. We all had to share one small dirt clod. At bath time, you would smear the clod onto yourself and sit in the bathtub; then, when you were done, you would smear the clod onto the next family member. The dirt didn't get washed away, because we also had no water. For that matter, we didn't have a real bathtub. We had to sit in an imaginary bathtub. And not a fancy imaginary bathtub, either: It was a nasty old used imaginary bathtub.
'But we did not complain. We did not ask the government for a handout. And do you know why? Because we also could not afford vocal cords.
"No, seriously, we did not complain because we believed in hard work. Everyone pitched in with the family business, even us kids. My father woke us up every morning before dawn and put us to work. It wasn't easy: You try selling curtain rods door-to-door at 4:30 a.m. People would throw rocks at us. We collected these and ground them up to make dirt.
"So it was a struggle, but we did not give up, and you know why? Because we believed in America, and freedom, and opportunity. Those are not just words, my fellow delegates: Those are key convention buzzwords, along with "leadership" and "jobs," that will be repeated 19 million times before we finally get out of Tampa.
"And that is why I am proud to support Mitt Romney for president of the United States, pause here for applause. Thank you. Mitt Romney will bring us the leadership that we need to create jobs through freedom and opportunity and the creation of jobs in an America that is free and has leadership resulting in opportunity and jobs out the wazoo. In closing, God bless America, and we also do custom installations."
So there you have the Republican message. Now it's the Democrats' turn to present their vision for America (short version: "It's Not Our Fault").
Even as you read these words, the Democrats are starting to descend on Charlotte, N.C., whose residents and businesses have no doubt been told by civic visionaries that the Democratic convention will be a great thing for their city.
Run, people of Charlotte. Run like the wind.

Billy Costa
Local radio and television personality Billy Costa returns to host an all-new season of High School Quiz Show.
Costa has been helping entertain audiences on KISS 108's Matty in the Morning show nearly every morning for the past 30 years. On weekdays, he delivers news and entertainment headlines as part of the Matty team, while manning his own Top 30 Countdown program on Saturdays. He is also the host of Dining Playbook, a restaurant review and lifestyle show airing on NESN.
"I was amazed by the level of competition last year," said Costa. "We're excited to be opening up the competition to the entire state this season and hope to generate even more community support and pride for all that the participating students have accomplished."
Inspired by the original College Bowl, a popular televised quiz bowl that dates back to the 1960s, High School Quiz Show emphasizes the importance of academics. For Costa, hosting a program that showcases high school students is a natural fit, and not his first foray into working with teens on television. Early in his career, he earned a Children's Television Award for Rap Around, a talk show on WBZ that focused on teen issues.
Costa is an alumnus of the New Preparatory School in Cambridge and attended Merrimack College before transferring to Emerson College, where he graduated with a degree in English.

Well the above image is my best Perseid meteor, it was taken a couple nights ago during a wild Aurora event, and I might add made the front page of SpaceWeather.com, and their online Aurora gallery here. I'll be posting a bunch of the Aurora images next post, as far as the actual shower, well the picture below speaks for itself, lots of clouds and lightning.
I should have known better, after all on my way to my site I almost hit a black cat, slammed on the brakes, the cat stares at me with shiny black eyes, then crosses in front of me, I figure I'm doomed. I get to the site and take some pics of the clouds and lightning just in case I get lucky and a Perseid crosses my path as well, no luck, so I sit it out in my car hoping the clouds roll away. Two hours later, they do, woo hoo, get out of the car, set up my equipment and start enjoying the shower and taking pics.
Got some images, the meteors themselves were very small and fast, then all of a sudden off to my right and behind me, the brightest meteor in Cosmos land, think it burned a hole in my retina and I wasn't even looking at it, the camera of course was pointing towards Perseus, where the meteors are supposed to be.
So I'm minding my own business viewing the meteor shower when along comes the Fuzz, driving slowly by my location, then stops and starts to back up.
So I'm thinking to myself, look inconspicuous, well as inconspicuous as a man on a dirt road with a tripod and camera in the middle of nowhere at 1:00 am can be. I'm going through all the possible scenarios of what is about to take place, like can they arrest me? Like the master chess player and wordsmith I am, I anticipate and meticuliously plan out the various possibilities of intelligent banter that will ensue. So the officer exits the vehicle, walks up to me and says;
Police guy : "Taking Pictures?"
Me: "Yeah, I'm taking pictures of meteors"
Police guy: "Cool, I wish I was, I have a camera as well"
Me: "Cool"
It went on a little longer, and then he had to get back to patrolling the city, fun well it lasted, always cool when your not arrested. After about half an hour the clouds rolled back in and it was back home for me. I stayed up all night in case the sky opened up again, at 4:30 it was clear, went back out, saw a few more and was lucky enough to capture another Perseid.
I'll leave you with a clip a put together of some of the meteors and Iridiums I've imaged since the camera purchase.

WOW!!! What a Perseid meteor story. Loved every minute of it. Glad you saw some great meteor flashes. While I was reading about the Fuzz, I was wishing I could loan you my backyard so you didn't have to worry about the road traffic.
Blessings! JJ

Those are absolutely great images of the meteors. And, your patience is like a boulder. Never move, and never give up. That's why you always get your shot. The video and the music were great also. Loved them all.
Keep up the outstanding work.
Happy stargazing.

Hi Bob, Congrats for getting published. The interaction with the police guy was entertaining too. So you hang around in the middle of nowhere at 1 am and take pictures of inconspicuous objects... :) LOL

Hi Bob! Well, we may soon have to pay to start coming here. Congratulations on another publication.
You're a man of many talents with your guitar playing as amazing as the unique images you showcase here.
Mind you, the money you could make would certainly come in handy for bail money.
Take Care,

10 Meals To Make In 10 Minutes Or Less
It seems these days a quick meal is less than 30 minutes — thank you Rachael Ray. But there are nights, now and then, when even 30 minutes can seem like a luxury. With 30 minutes we could cook a 3-course meal, do some laundry, run the dishwasher and whittle a horse from a spare piece of wood. In the real world, when you're dashing from one evening activity to another, dinner sometimes needs to come together in 10 minutes or less. Here are a few recipes to keep in mind for those occasions!
Last year we rounded up 10 recipes that could be made in 15 minutes or less and we're taking it one step further this time. 15 minutes is so last year, 10 minutes is where it's at! Check out the recipes below and make sure to add your quick weeknight dinners in the comments below!
1. Quick and Easy Fried Rice: Fried rice can come together even faster than 10 minutes if you happen to have a good selection of leftovers floating around. It's the end-all recipe to using up leftover rice and is tasty enough to eat for any meal of the day — yes even breakfast.
2. Apple-Arugula Salad Wraps: Although wraps seem more like a lunch food, for a quick dinner they can contain actual food groups and even do away with dishes if needs be. Perfect, no clean up!
3. Thai Crab Salad with Chili, Ginger, and Coconut: Since this meal merely needs to be chopped and tossed, it's quick to throw together and has big bold flavors that will satisfy without a laundry list of ingredients.
4. Miso Soup: Miso soup is perfect for those worried about over cooking tofu as it simply warms in this rich broth and suddenly, dinner is served! Check out this version with a poached egg — extra tasty!
5.The BEST Pancakes Ever: Pancakes might traditionally be breakfast food, but they're perfect for any meal in fact… we want some right now!
6. Egyptian Tomato Soup: This recipe just barely passes the 10 minute mark, but it can be made entirely from your pantry so there's minimal chopping or prep — making it a winner in our book!
7. Friday Night Slow-Cooked Brisket and Onions: So technically speaking this meal takes 5-8 hours to make, but there's really only 10 minutes of prep work involved. Make it before you head out the door to work and when you return dinner is already done for you!
8. Spicy Grilled Shrimp: These shrimp get a quick brine before hitting the grill, but since they cook up so quick, we're willing to overlook the extra brining time (only 30 minutes). Just make sure to drop them in the brine the second you come home from work or possibly lessen the salt and brine them while you're away (so they don't get too salty) to make things extra easy.
9. Thai-Style Omelet (Kai Jeow): This recipe comes together in less than 10 minutes which might even leave you time to walk the dog or check your email before dinner!
10. Scrambled Eggs with Fresh Corn, Goat Cheese, and Oven-Roasted Tomatoes: This meal is labeled as a 10 minute dish and mixes up with many things that you probably already have on hand.
What are your favorite no-time, extra-quick weeknight meals?

Here I am again at the very last minute playing along with Unity Friends With Flair! I love this card but it's been rejected at least three times so I am finally sharing it with you. To create the background, I used the damask stamp from Happily Ever After, a couple of the scrolls and ornaments from Greetings of Christmas and the title sentiment from Think Happy Thoughts. To get the two-toned orange and pink colours in the damask, I used the rock-and-roll technique.
I'm selling a lot of Unity sets under my For Sale tab HERE so please have a peek and let me know if you're interested in giving these wonderful stamps a new home! :)
I wish you all a fun weekend! It's the Family Day weekend here in Ontario and a few other Canadian provinces so I'm happy to have my husband home for an extra day. Maybe I'll get in some crafting time if my mojo ever returns. LOL
