The layout artist won't draw every character pose that makes up the animator's performance. The animator has to take the layout and background and then in turn - stage each and every one of his poses so that the whole performance of the character is easy to see.Staging for Animators - making the poses read.
Here's what Frank and Ollie have to say about that:
Control The Audience's Attention With Clear PosingIt's the animator's job to control the audience, to make sure the viewer's eye doesn't wander around the screen wondering what is happening. A good animator knows which parts of every action are the most important and forces he viewer to take notice of them and catch the meaning that the animator intended. This requires great skills and drawing tools.
Here's what Frank and Ollie have to say about that:
Silhouettes read better than jumbles
The ingredients of a good Silhouette are :
The general overall pose of the the character tells you the direction of the character which in turn can tell you many other things-his attitude, what he is doing, which character is leading the action...
The negative shapes within your pose tell you what the character is doing.
Some part of your pose is more important than the rest of the pose. Maybe a character is pointing. Then you have to make that part of your sillo more obvious than the rest of the body. Draw attention to it.
Don't distract from the pointing by having other parts of the body stick out of the silhouette as much as or more than the pointing action. Have the rest of the body being pulled along by whichever part is causing the action.
When everything is moving all the time, it becomes hard to tell what is happening. You can see this problem in many late 30s cartoons, when animators were outdoing each other by having the characters constantly change shape and each part of the body had secondary actions, overlapping action, tons of squash and all the animation tools happening all the time and competing with each other for attention. Watch some "Captain and The Kids".
By the 40s, most top animators learned that good clear poses were more effective in selling a story than constant random motion.
Strong and obvious lines of action and silhouettes were very popular and expertly done in the 1940s.
40s cartoons based the entertainment more on action, while 50s began focusing more on dialogue and design.
Subtle Lines Of Action - it happened in the 50s
By the 50s, many animators began toning down their lines of action and bold silhouettes. They didn't abandon them completely, just made them more subtle.
Brilliant 50s Jones design- full of classic principles and tricky contrasts.
The more "modern" character designs tended to have more straight lines and angles, so it naturally makes an animator tend towards less obviously rounded organic posing.
Characters tended to stand up straight more. These Harvey Eisenberg 60s comics still have all the classic drawing principles evident, but the balance of them has changed. The poses are less obvious, but still very clear.
As the good animators toned down their principles, new animators came into the business who didn't understand them at all and couldn't see the subtleties in the more experienced animators' work. This led quickly to the disappearance almost altogether of lines of action and clear silhouettes.
Why Man Learns From The Past
Now and then, someone will write in the comments that young artists don't need tools. They just need their own God-given creativity and their beautiful natural-born styles. They needn't hamper themselves with knowledge and techniques that were learned through trial and error by experts over decades. The young genius artist wants to start from scratch and make all the same mistakes that thousands of more talented artists had long ago learned to correct.
Every artist of course has the right to do whatever he wants. Every builder does too. You could poopoo hammers as cramping your creativity and try to punch nails into wood as you attempt to build a house in a completely new way without even a plan. It's not against the law or anything. - But good luck in ever finishing it or having it stand up by itself.
But it eludes my reasoning why anyone would want to choose to have absolutely no control over their finished products. Skills, practice, knowledge and tools put you way ahead of your competitors.
You have a much wider freedom of creative choices if you understand the basic tools of your trade.
Being able to clearly and creatively stage your poses, makes you more capable of getting your audience to feel and see what YOU want them to see. Posing is one of many important tools that gives you more control.
To rebel against tried and true effective tools when you have never been able to handle them yourself in the first place seems very self-defeating to me.
It's one thing if you are Picasso or John Hubley and you want to veer off into abstraction, but it's not the same thing for a smelly little graffiti artist who just can't draw but wants you to believe he has a unique style.

Zen Prostitution
Now I know why I keep the comments section open.
Yesterday I sat at Angel Falls coffee shop (don't get the wrong idea, my friends in The Netherlands, this one only sells coffee, tea and pastries) wracking my brain for about three hours to come up with yesterday's post. I was trying to put my finger on the one single thing that bugged me the most about Genpo Roshi's latest enterprise.
I wasn't really satisfied with what I wrote. But I'd spent enough time on it and I thought it was OK if not quite what I wanted it to be. Then about fifteen minutes after I put it up, a commenter named Broken Yogi said in part:
"The relationship between student and teacher is supposed to be a sacred one that is untouched by worldly motives, and really is directed towards liberation and enlightenment, which by their very nature are free, in every sense of the word, including the financial sense. To transform these into a monetary business relationship of consumer and service provider is not only to debase the entire process of enlightenment, it actually brings it to a sudden end. Nothing good can possibly result from this."
And I'm like, THAT'S IT! That's the whole thing in a nutshell. What bugs me most is that he is turning the student/teacher relationship in Zen into a business arrangement. He is charging his students not so much for enlightenment as he is charging them for their relationship with him. This is Zen prostitution (I hastily added some words to that effect to the post below after reading Broken Yogi's comment).
The relationship between a Zen teacher and a deshi (to use Genpo's preferred term) is a very intimate thing. We're not talking here about someone who might occasionally attend a lecture or retreat. A deshi would be a long term one-to-one student. There would have to be some sort of formalized public initiation ceremony involved to get to that level.
To my way of thinking, saying, "You can be my deshi for a price" (which is precisely what Genpo is saying, you can read it for yourself) is like saying, "I will fall in love with you if you pay me for it." Even if you meant something like that sincerely you couldn't possibly do it. You can't decide to fall in love with someone and then just sort of will it to happen. And you can't put a price on that.
It's not that Genpo ought not to be allowed to do it. I'm saying it can't be done. It's just impossible. For anyone.
As I said before, I have no problems with Zen teachers who charge for lectures, seminars, books and so on. I also have no problem with Zen teachers who take donations. Everybody's gotta find a way to pay the rent. I can even see setting up a tuition system for priest training or setting up an ongoing donation system to help keep a temple functional. No problem.
But charging for the teacher/student relationship is not a good thing. Because it can't really be done. What you'd have if you charged for such a relationship could only ever possibly be an imitation of that relationship. It's like the difference between going on the Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point amusement park and going on a real runaway coal cart in a real abandoned mine shaft. It's not even a good approximation of the thing. It's a poor imitation created for amusement and profit. The real runaway coal cart might kill you. If the Cedar Creek Mine Ride injured you, you could sue. Same deal here.
The reason I write about this is not to constantly point a finger at Genpo and go "shame on you." He's not gonna listen to me anyway. I'm concerned that if this goes unchallenged by someone like me who is in a position to challenge it, then it could become more widespread. It probably already is. What are these "Big Mind® Facilitator Training" things Genpo offers? My guess is people are seeing Big Mind® as a potential money maker and they want to get in on it too. Genpo's model for Big Mind® would appear to be based on a McDonald's type enterprise where you grant licensed franchisees the right to use the name and logo as long as they send part of their revenue back to headquarters.
If Genpo didn't insist on conflating Big Mind® with Zen I wouldn't be griping about it. It'd be just one more scam meditation thing. But he does by using the standard terminology of Zen, such as the word deshi as used in a Zen context.
Becoming someone's deshi is an organic thing. The ceremonies involved are more like an engagement ceremony or even a wedding. They are a public affirmation of a relationship that already exists. They're not like the first down payment on an extended tuition plan.
Maybe my saying this won't really matter much in the end. I doubt it will have any real impact on Genpo's business. But I gotta say it.

This is true. That's really the cost, you also have to factor in the fact that even though you might find them for $2 a piece you'd then have to get them, clean them, press them, put them in yourselves, tie the bows yourselves, then collect them all after and find a place to store them until you could pawn them off on the next poor sucker.

Today's xkcd comic genuinely mystifies me. I'd like you to try to imagine me writing the following post (the beginning of it, at least) with a more honest voice, not the sarcastic one I usually employ. Today's comic asks us a question: "Ever notice how Wikipedia has a few words it really likes?" And the thing is, I haven't. I have never noticed that. Have you?
Now it's true that I don't spend as much time on wikipedia as some people, those who notice some very specific facts about the website, so perhaps I am not in the best position to judge.
But really- what word is he even referring to? It can't be "Malamanteau," since that isn't a real word and isn't on wikipedia (though of course some xkcdicks tried). Some have suggested that the joke of this comic is that wikipedia loves the words "neologism" and "portmanteau" but that seems silly; the fictional page on "malamanteau" should have all those words in it, as they are crucial to understanding what the word "malamanteau" means.
Alas, like all xkcd comics, and wikipedia ones in particular, many xkcd fans assume that it is the height of cleverness to attempt to twist wikipedia to fit the world of xkcd. Why people do this, I do not know. Some seem to take a perverse joy in it. (that last forumite would be particularly terrible to argue with, I suspect - "let's get enough of us shouting the same thing and it will have to be correct!").
Anyway - I still have to ask: What words do they mean? Do they mean words that have articles about them (ie, wikipedia likes some words so their pages get to stick around while others are deleted) or do they just mean some words get used more often in articles?
this comic is like observational comedy but no one has shared the experience it is describing.
Here is an example of a terrible way to tell a joke. He starts with the conclusion, then explains the process which got us there, then says the conclusion we've already seen as though it is a punchline. BAD JOB.
I got way far behind on Homestuck recently and am trying to catch up. It is not fun, and I do not know why I am doing it.
Achewood has taken a turn a turn for the very, very creepy recently, but as should be expected, is doing it well.
Dinosaur Comics and Overcompensating both have new DISTURBINGLY SIMILAR shirts for sale. I see their sale and i call: shenanigans.

Why You Need an Electric Vest
(Fundamentals of Biological Cooling in Mammals)
When you were a kid, your mom yelled at you to wear your hat and boots, even made you wear those dorky mittens attached to your coat with strings. When you asked why, she just said "Because I told you to." Mom had the right idea, but here's a better explanation. When you get cold, your body automatically decreases the amount of blood circulating to your limbs and skin in order to decrease the rate of heat loss and protect the head and vital organs for the longest possible time. So when you're riding through a damp 55° evening and your hands and feet feel frozen, it's because your body is trying to protect you by shutting off some of the blood to your extremities. An electric vest will 'fake out' your body by keeping your trunk warm, then plenty of warm blood will be allowed to circulate to your fingers and toes, letting you ride in greater comfort and control. The difference is so dramatic that you may never take another trip without an electric vest.

If you currently own a Nokia Lumia 900 Windows Phone you're probably considering the Lumia 920 as your next Windows Phone. But how do the two compare?
Sure, the Lumia 920 has NFC support, the Pureview camera and Windows Phone 8 but how do these two Windows Phones compare with regards to design?
Here's the tale of the tape on the two. The Nokia Lumia 900 measures 5 x 2.7 x .45 inches and weighs 5.64 ounces. The Nokia Lumia 920 measures 5.13 x 2.79 x .42 inches and weighs in at 6.5 ounces. On paper the Lumia 920 is longer, wider but thinner than the Lumia 900. The Lumia 920 also weighs almost an ounce heavier than the Lumia 900. While on paper these differences are easily noticeable, in the hand the differences are not.
While I can tell the Lumia 920 is the larger phone when held, the 920 doesn't feel larger. In a blindfold test, it would be tough to tell the two Lumia Windows Phones apart just by the way they feel. The extra weight is nicely distributed to avoid feeling heavier and the larger screen size is accommodated by a balance of making the phone's frame wider and taller.
There are some design changes that will give away the Lumia 920. Such as the charging port now on the bottom of the phone and headphone jack centered at the top but feel alone, these two phones are very similar.
Nokia did a good job of increasing the size of the 900 without adding to the bulk. With regards to design and feel, the 920 is a refined version of the 900. If you like the fit and feel of the Lumia 900, you'll like the Lumia 920 just as nicely.

Kony has launched MobileFabric. This product unifies a mobile application development platform (MADP), mobile backend as a service (MBaaS), Application Programming Interface (API) management, and Platform as-a-Service (PaaS) infrastructures under a single, open, and standards-based mobile infrastructure platform.
Kony claims that MobileFabric shortens time spent on app development by more than 65 percent.
The firm's Burley Kawasaki points out that the demand for high-velocity app deployment will overwhelm infrastructure and operations teams that are not staffed, budgeted, or prepared to handle a rapid scale-up of mobile apps.
With the initial release, 350 MobileFabric apps were published and more than 400 MobileFabric clouds have been created in the last 90 days to support the development of cloud-based mobile applications.
"Kony MobileFabric removes the complexity and effort spent integrating multiple technologies in a typical enterprise mobile development project, with pre-built back-end services for identity, integration, orchestration, messaging, and location services. In addition, it provides offline sync capabilities, along with full platform as-a-service productivity through seamless elastic provisioning, monitoring, and analytics," said Kawasaki.
MobileFabric supports the most popular development languages with prebuilt Software Development Kits (SDK). It integrates through open RESTful APIs with mobile app development tools and frameworks that developers already know. This includes support via a set of downloadable SDKs for native iOS and Android, JavaScript, and PhoneGap development.
"This launch is interesting because it marks a shift to more loosely coupled architecture in mobile applications. As organizations start getting strategic with mobile application development, they are thinking in a somewhat more decoupled manner about their front-ends on the devices and their back-end systems," said Al Hilwa, program director for software development research at IDC.
Hilwa continues, "They are building back-ends in line with new API architectures to handle not just mobile devices but a brave new world of IoT devices that need to engage with the enterprise. More mature thinking around mobile means that API back-ends are being developed to handle many mobile and web apps, and mobile and web front-ends are being designed to compose API services from many back-end systems. It is a new strategic way of thinking about mobile architectures that will play out over the next few years."

Having grown up in Manhattan well away from car culture, I have no particular prejudice against getting a minivan--I have heard the arguments before about how uncool minivans are, but in my mind, ALL cars are uncool, so really for us it purely comes down to a functionality issue. Also, let's remember that I'm already uncool, so it's not like the car I drive is going to change that. (Obnoxious penis-substitute car drivers, take note!) Anyway, the most likely finalists are the Toyota Sienna versus the Honda Odyssey--we're leaning towards the Toyota because it's somewhat cheaper--but if anyone has any particular recommendations on a seven-to-eight-seater car, please feel free to recommend or dissuade. Whatever the brand, we will likely get one of the lowest trim packages (meaning no DVD players, no navigation, no leather seats, no flux capacitor), so fancy features are not a concern. The only add-on that Joe thinks we should likely get is some sort of "backing up" camera, mostly because I am, uh, not a good driver, and he wants to make sure I don't run over anything vital, like our mailbox, or a mailbox-shaped human.
(Of course I have been reading online car reviews and consumer report guides, but I have noticed one thing in the minivan guides in that after you read many of them in a row, you realize how many of them are jarringly anti-kid. One example from Motor Trend magazine: "...since children and their Cheetos-encrusted boogers are the target audience, perhaps a really nice interior doesn't mean a whole lot in this segment." In minivan reviews, apparently, there are lots of "jokes" like that, mostly related to how disgusting and annoying multiple children are. You could well make a drinking game out of it. Drink every time a review mentions crushed Cheerios messing up the backseat. Drink every time a review talks about the DVD players quieting your squalling hellions. Drink every time a review talks about how multiple kids are the death of cool, and how the utilitarian suburban drudge cart is now your cross to bear. I GET IT, CAR MAGAZINE, YOU HATE KIDS.)
* * *
19 weeks. Look, a different shirt!
I know that externally, it seems like kind of a gradual progression, but let me assure you that it sure doesn't feel that way. Look, just think of this week-by-week photo project (granted, more for personal archival purposes than anything else) as the most boring flip-book ever. Anyway, the fundus is just below the umbilicus that this point, and I can tell we're moving along because the umbilical port scar from my old med school lap appy is actually visible now. THINGS ARE EVERTING. Sorry, was that gross? Well, take it from a doctor, that's how the human body is, kids. Gross. Gross but functional. Like a minivan.
(And that's what we call "coming full-circle.")

Marching Band Festival will resume in fall
The Rolla Board of Education Thursday night voted unanimously to spend $812,743 to install synthetic turf, add 450 seats and make other improvements to the football stadium at Rolla High School.
"This is not just a turf project," Assistant Superintendent Kelly Hinshaw stressed during his presentation on what is known today as the Lions Memorial Stadium Project.
The board accepted the base bid of $629,555 from ATG-Ram Industries LLC, a Kansas company with an office in St. Louis that has converted about 150 Missouri football fields from turfgrass to synthetic turf.
That base bid covers the cost of the field conversion.
Added to that is $183,188 of more work at the stadium.
These alternate bids were accepted along with the base bid:
A center "R" logo in maroon on the synthetic turf.
End zone lettering.
End zone colored maroon.
A protective soccer net on the 10th Street side.
Relocation of the wall to allow expansion of the field so soccer can be played on it.
Addition of two bleacher sections.
Reconnect irrigation on the practice field.
Turned down were alternate bids for a center logo bulldog picture, rotating goal posts and synthetic turf on the practice field.
The Turf by '12 committee has rasied $285,355.62 in cash, interest, pledges, in-kind donations and fence banner contracts as of March 14.
"I think they'll continue to make contacts," Hinshaw said of the private fund-raising effort.
Hinshaw made a lengthy presentation on the Lions Memorial Stadium Project as he sought to dispel what he described as public misunderstandings about the project.
Not only is it not a turf project solely, it also isn't recent, he said, seeking to place the genesis of the project back in 2001 with a Missouri School Board Association conference at which school administrators picked up samples of synthetic turf and brought them back to Rolla.
After that, the project solely evolved, he said.
Long-range planning committees of the board studied turf in 2006-2007. Then in 2012, the board approved a Turf Committee comprising alumni, patrons, parents and school district employees to "collaboratively work toward securing the funding support necessary for installing field turf at Lions Memorial Staidum."
That phrase "collaboratively work" meant the district would be involved in the funding, he said.
The committee was charged with creating a vision, sharing the vision, creating enthusiasm, discussing an alumni support networik, discussing internal school support stratagey and indentify revenue resources.
Tasks given to the Turf Committee were to seek board support, meet to discuss issues, develop a strategy to create an alumni network, develop the internal support strategy and develop a communication plan.
"I want to thnak this group for what they've done," Hinshaw said. "I think they did what their charger asked them to do."
A dozen business, plus some individuals, have signed up for fence banners, paying $15,000 over the next five years. There are other donations and pledges of even higher amounts.
And there are many donations of lower amounts. All donations are important and needed, Hinshaw said, and they'll continue to be accepted.
Timeline for the projects calls for construction to begin May 1 and its completion to be July 1. An official with the ATG office was at the meeting. He said the company would like to start April 1, weather permitting, and be completed by June 1.
School administrators in previous discussions stressed the synthetic turf will make the field available for more activities more often. Once installed, the field will drain 16 inches of rain in an hour.
Rain has caused problems in the past, and killed a popular music festival held each October at the football field.
"2008 was the last date for the Route 66 Marching Band Festival," Hinshaw reminded the board. Rain had either caused cancellation of the festival or created mud that soiled musicians' costly-to-clean uniforms so often that the district ended the festival.
Mitch Lewis, an officer with both the turf committee and the band boosters organization attended the school board meeting. After the board approved the bid, he announced the Route 66 Marching Band Festival would return in October of this year with a target of at least 15 bands and hopes of growing that figure back to 30 by 2014.
ATG will maintain the field for eight years with a full warranty. Its life expectancy is 10-12 years. Replacing the turf will not be so expensive as the initial construction cost, because all the excavation and underlayment will not need to be repeated.
ATG has built 150 fields in Missouri, about 72 percent of all the synthetic turf fields in the state.

Don't forget that this is the weekend to help repair some of the damage done bye the Weber Fire. Last year, acres and acres of private land burned and displaced many residents as the Weber Fire swept across the hills of Mancos, leaving behind dust and ashes.
It is now time to plan to give back to the land.
The planting day will start at Boyle Park beginning at 9 a.m. Volunteers will branch off to the various planting sites by 9:30 a.m.
The Firewise Council of Southwest Colorado, the Southwest Bar Association and the Colorado State Forest Service are planning a seedling tree and shrub planting day April 27.
There will be 1,500 trees planted across eight private properties impacted by the Weber Fire last June.
But these organizations need the help of fellow Southwest Colorado residents. That is a lot of trees to plant, and the more hands to help, the better, said Rebecca Samulski, Montezuma County Coordinator, Firewise of Southwest Colorado and Wildland Fire Education Specialist, Montezuma County Fire Chief's Association.
Those who wish to participate are asked to call Samulski at 564-4007, to ensure there will be enough people to plant and there will be enough lunch to go around.
Samulski estimates that about 100 volunteers are needed.
"This will be a fun day, sun or shine, to get dirty and give something back to a mountain community that lost its forest," Samulski said.
Donations to support more tree planting on Colorado lands impacted by wildfires and other natural events, such as beetle devastation, can also be made online at https://advancing.colostate.edu/RestoringColoradosForests.

GREENCASTLE — In terms of history, success tends to be measured by a team's record.
Thus, Greencastle-Antrim's 5-5 varsity football campaign in 2012 will likely be viewed as an 'average' season for a program that annually holds itself to a higher standard.
But, for those who actually experienced the journey, this past fall acted as a reminder that adversity builds character, an ideal in which the Blue Devils admirably embraced down the stretch.
Sitting at 2-5 in mid-October, G-A was forced to revise its agenda, needing to win its final three games in order to avoid the program's first losing season since 2003.
Fueled by the ever-present factor of 'Blue Devil Pride', G-A managed to conquer the uphill climb, collectively exemplifying the definition of a team to achieve one, singular goal.
"We were truly a team this year," G-A head coach Chuck Tinninis said. "After starting 2-5, we could have fallen apart. Instead, our guys stuck together and kept plugging away to finish .500. They practiced hard, they played hard, and as a coach, that's what you want to see. We made some blunders along the way, but when we came to work, we worked. I have no complaints whatsoever."
Considering the trying circumstances early on, the Blue Devils benefitted from a senior class that led by example, not allowing doubt to overshadow progress.
In return, the three-game winning streak to finish the season served as a fitting sendoff for G-A's memorable group of seniors, including the likes of Austin Scott, Hunter Szaflarski, Stephen Ernharth, Josh Young, Adam Moore, Luke Bitner, Patrick Bontrager, Alec Waddelow, Holden Baker, Kareem Aiken, Jeff Seilhamer and Ronnie Stine.
"It was neat to see them grow up a lot the past couple years," Tinninis said of his seniors. "They saw some pretty high peaks during their careers with two division titles and they also experienced a challenge to fight to finish .500. They were a tight-knit group and it's sad to see them go."
Coming off a torn ACL that brought an abrupt halt to his junior campaign, Scott shouldered a significant leadership role on and off the field, rehabbing his injury during the offseason before returning as one of the area's premiere dual-threat quarterbacks.
As G-A's signal caller, Scott accounted for 17 total touchdowns in 2012, passing for 885 yards and eight scores while adding 423 yards and nine touchdowns on the ground. Defensively, Scott also acted as a shutdown corner in the Blue Devil secondary, being named to the Mid-Penn Colonial Division 2nd Team on both sides of the ball.
"Scotty took on a lot of responsibility as our leader this year," Tinninis said of his quarterback. "He's a great athlete and week in and week out he played his butt off. He kept an upbeat attitude when we were struggling in the middle of the season and got the other guys going."
Originally thought of as simply a change-of-pace ball carrier, Szaflarski emerged as a versatile weapon in all phases, impacting the game on offense, defense and special teams.
Pound-for-pound one of the toughest players on the field, Szaflarski, who's listed at 5-7, 155 pounds, rushed for 557 yards and 10 touchdowns on just 48 carries, finishing with an outlandish average of 11.6 yards per attempt. The speedster also reeled in 12 receptions for 266 yards and a score while returning a punt for a touchdown in G-A's 44-27 victory over Big Spring in Week 8, earning him a spot on the Colonial Division 2nd Team as a receiver and return specialist.
Szaflarski's rushing yardage was second on the team to primary bruiser Ashtin Byers, who paced the Blue Devils' ground attack with 625 yards on 96 carries, including seven trips across the goal line.
Also frequently called upon in G-A's 'ball-carrier-by-committee' approach throughout the season were the talents of Young, Moore, Aiken, Matt Montedoro and Justin Smalls, each of whom contributed to the Blue Devils' average of 269 rushing yards per game.
Through the air, Joel Zola splashed onto the varsity scene as Scott's primary target, recording a team-high 24 receptions for 311 yards and four touchdowns, granting the offense a deep-threat option downfield.
On defense, Ernharth (MPC-Colonial 2nd Team) and Moore anchored G-A's front eight from their respective middle linebacker positions with Young and Montedoro containing the edges behind an imposing rotation of linemen, including Colonial Division 1st Team selection Bobby Rider.
Joining Rider in the trenches were the physical statures of Waddelow, Bontrager, Seilhamer and Stine with Kristian Sheeley and Jared Starliper also making their presence known around the line of scrimmage in supporting roles.
Baker complemented Scott and Szaflarski at safety in the secondary, with the unit combining to hold six opponents to less than 75 yards passing on the year.
In his third year as G-A's kicker, Bitner was again a dependable asset, converting 36 of 39 extra-point attempts on his way to being named to the Colonial Division 1st Team.
All things considered, the upcoming graduation ceremony this spring is certainly going to take its toll moving forward. But, much like they seem to do every year, the Blue Devils appear poised to replenish the wealth.
"Looking at the division, I don't think any one team will be heading into next year as the favorite," Tinninis, who will be entering his 26th season at the helm, said. "We'll have a nucleus of players coming back, our JV team finished 6-3 and our ninth grade team only lost one game this year, so we're looking forward to some of those guys moving up. We should be right in the mix of it and whoever's going to win the division will need to have a good offseason of preparation. We've already started that process."
A look back at the 2012 G-A varsity football season:
Week 1
Chambersburg 49, G-A 7
As evident by the score, it wasn't how the Blue Devils envisioned getting underway in 2012.
Following Scott's 56-yard touchdown pass to Cody Kriner to tie the game late in the first quarter, it was all Chambersburg in the renewal of this rivalry, with the Trojans scoring 42 unanswered points en route to the lopsided victory.
Chambersburg scored four times on plays of 45 yards or more while holding G-A to what would be a season-low 190 yards of offense.
Devin Statler's 55 yards on six carries led the Blue Devils on the ground.
Week 2
G-A 28, Boiling Springs 3
Looking to quickly forget the opener, the Blue Devils evened their record against the Bubblers, with Moore (81 yards on 13 carries) and Byers (73 yards on 13 carries) handling the majority of the workload.
A pair of touchdowns by Byers accompanied a 1-yard scoring run from Moore, giving G-A a 21-3 lead at the half.
Zola's 40-yard touchdown reception in the fourth quarter capped the victory, accounting as the first scoring grab of the junior's varsity football career.
Defensively, G-A forced four Bubbler fumbles, recovering two of them.
Week 3
Susquehanna Twp. 43, G-A 14
A 10-yard scoring connection from Scott to Zola gave the Blue Devils the early lead on the road before Township reeled off 34 unanswered points, including four touchdown runs by tailback Colby Grant.
Scott found the end zone on a 1-yard keeper to draw within 20 heading into the fourth, where a 78-yard Indians passing touchdown essentially sealed the outcome.
Byers rushed for a career-high 118 yards on 18 carries with Scott adding 98 yards through the air to close out G-A's non-league schedule.
Week 4
G-A 50, Gettysburg 3
After somewhat of a slow start, leading just 15-3 at half, the Blue Devils erupted for 35 points in the closing two quarters, overwhelming the Warriors to open their Mid-Penn Colonial Division schedule in dominant fashion.
Scott and Szaflarski each rushed for two touchdowns, with the G-A quarterback racking up a game-high 109 yards on just seven carries.
Byers and Smalls also recorded rushing scores in the win while Chris Eadie's 23-yard return for a touchdown highlighted a three-interception performance by the Blue Devil defense.
Week 5
Northern York 21, G-A 7
Deadlocked at 7-7 in a slugfest with the Polar Bears, a failed fourth-down conversion paired with a costly turnover late in the game ultimately resulted in a disheartening defeat for the Blue Devils in a game that slipped away at Dillsburg.
Scott's 22-yard touchdown strike to Zola tied the contest right before the half, with neither side managing to find the end zone in the third, setting up the decisive final quarter of play.
After Northern took the lead at 14-7 with 8:21 remaining, G-A was stopped short on fourth-and-two from its own 45 prior to the Blue Devil defense forcing a three-and-out following the change of possession, thus seemingly returning the ball to Scott and the offense with plenty of time to mount a game-tying drive.
A muffed punt ensued, which was recovered by the Polar Bears at G-A's 12 to set up a Northern touchdown two plays later, culminating into the 14-point loss.
Week 6
West Perry 35, G-A 28
Despite a resilient rally, the Blue Devils inability to slow down the Mustangs' option offense created a 35-14 deficit early in the fourth, rendering a pair of G-A touchdowns in the final eight minutes too little, too late.
West Perry quarterback Zach Smith, who was named Offensive MVP of the Colonial Division, rushed 29 times for 171 yards while passing for three scores, keeping the Blue Devils guessing throughout.
Three fumbles, two of which were lost, also stalled promising G-A drives in the first half, allowing the Mustangs to extend their advantage.
Byers accounted for both Blue Devil touchdowns in the fourth quarter (one rushing, one receiving) while Scott and Szaflarski each made a trip across the goal line in the loss.
Week 7
Shippensburg 36, G-A 17
Rekindling memories of two epic showdowns in 2011, the Blue Devils went toe-to-toe with eventual Colonial Division champion Shippensburg in the early goings before the Greyhounds' rushing attack ultimately proved to be the difference, gashing G-A for 416 yards on the ground.
Scott's 68-yard bomb to Szaflarski tied the game on the Blue Devils' first offensive play from scrimmage with a 24-yard field goal by Bitner granting G-A an 11-8 advantage.
Three touchdown runs for Shippensburg's William Burt ensued prior to a 7-yard keeper by Scott cutting the lead to 29-17 at the half.
The tempo slowed over the final two quarters, as Ty Kater's 69-yard scoring run accounted for the only points of the second half, extending the Blue Devils' losing streak to three games.
Scott ended with 163 passing yards, connecting with Szaflarski six times for 144.
The Greyhounds went on to finish unbeaten in Colonial play at 7-0, dethroning G-A as back-to-back division champions.
Week 8
G-A 44, Big Spring 27
With the revised goal of finishing .500 as the focus, the Blue Devils began their late-season surge by returning to form on the ground, as G-A's backfield committee combined for 571 rushing yards en route to a season-high output of 606 yards of total offense.
Szaflarski found the end zone four times, scoring on runs of 43, 28 and 10 yards while also returning a punt for a touchdown in the third quarter.
Surprisingly, Szaflarski's rushing total of 97 yards placed him third on the team, as Byers and Scott both cracked the century mark in the collectively impressive outing. Byers' 151 yards broke his previous career-high set earlier in the year at Township while Scott notched 131 yards and two scores.
The trio of Young (67 yards), Aiken (59 yards) and Montedoro (58 yards) also added 184 yards to G-A's season-high rushing total.
Week 9
G-A 49, Waynesboro 14
The Blue Devils carried the newly found momentum into their annual backyard rivalry with Waynesboro, seizing control from the opening whistle, never looking back after establishing a 35-7 lead by halftime.
A 63-yard touchdown pass from Scott to Young got the G-A offense rolling less than three minutes in before two additional scoring runs by both Scott and Byers essentially put the game out of reach heading into the locker room.
Montedoro then barreled in from 2 yards out to extend the margin in the fourth with a 35-yard hookup from Scott to Zola capping the scoring with 2:35 remaining.
Through the air, Scott completed 8-of-11 passes for a season-high 185 yards while Montedoro finished with a career-high 81 yards on 15 carries.
Week 10
G-A 62, James Buchanan 7
Despite the game being postponed from Friday to Monday as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the change in routine had little effect on the Blue Devils, with G-A hanging a season-high 62 points on the Rockets to achieve a final record of 5-5.
The finale was arguably the Blue Devils' most well-rounded performance of 2012, dominating in all phases of the game to close out their Colonial schedule at 4-3, finishing fourth in the division behind Shippensburg, West Perry and Northern.
Szaflarski capped his senior campaign with his second four-touchdown outing of the season, scoring on runs of 38, 34, 34 and 18 yards, needing just five carries to record his game-high total of 124.
Byers, Young, Montedoro, Aiken and Matt Oberholzer also found the end zone for the Blue Devils, with Young racking up 98 yards in the final appearance of his career.
G-A was just as impressive on the defensive side of the ball, holding JB to only four first downs and 66 yards of total offense.

Most of us are used to the concept of time zones. Central Time, Pacific Time, whatever. You move a few hours up or down depending on how far east/west you are.
Boy Scout Time (BST), however, is a time zone that has absolutely no basis in reality. Here's how it works:
Some guy allegedly in charge sends out an email/phone message/smoke signal/semaphore flag that we will meet in the parking of local church/school/mortuary at 7:30 in the morning.
7:25: Grumpymobile containing Frank, Craig, and I shows up, joining 1-2 other cars.
7:30: Nothing happens.
7:38: Guy who sent email out shows up, makes lame excuse.
7:40: Two more cars show up.
7:45: 3 other cars show up, one forgot something (like a kid), goes back home for it.
7:47: Guy who sent email wanders around trying to do a head count and complains about people being unreliable.
7:48: Single mom shows up, blames her ex for giving her the wrong time.
7:50 Another car shows up. Driver asks if we want anything from Starbucks, then leaves to go get his own.
7:51: Guy who sent email starts calling people who aren't there but had confirmed. 50% of the time he gets voicemail, 50% he wakes them up.
7:55: Person who left to get something from home is back.
8:00 Guy who went to Starbucks returns. Got my order wrong.
8:05: Email guy finally gives up, announces everyone should follow him to the day's activity, discovers he left address at home, calls and wakes up his wife to look for it on the kitchen counter.
8:15 After we all leave, insane parents who showed afterwards call and ask as to come back to the parking lot so they can follow, too. Email guy makes an illegal U-turn to go back, and we all follow him. Because we are morons. And the local traffic cop turns on his lights and siren.
And this is how Boy Scout Time works.

Johnny or Jared?
A couple of weeks ago, In Touch reported that Johnny Depp was spotted sneaking out of Ashley Olsen's apartment in NYC on February 27th after having spent the night there. Click here for a refresher. Since it's In Touch, and therefore salt-grainy, that story came and went pretty quickly.
Today the NY Daily News published an item about Ashley Olsen and Jared Leto. The two were apparently all over each over at the Polo Lounge on Sunday. He played with her hair, stroked her arm, and at one point she put her head in his lap.
I wanted to write about this so I started looking for some photos of Jared and I came across these, taken on March 21, showing Jared in Beverly Hills, described by the photo agency to resemble Johnny Depp.
Was it Jared then who was leaving Ashley's apartment in February but mistaken to be Johnny? If so, In Touch Weekly is f-cking around with a pretty serious misidentification. I mean, for Johnny, I wonder if it's almost worse being confused with Jared Leto than it is being erroneously linked to Ashley Olsen. And before you defend Jared Leto, feel my hand on your mouth and click here.

Turks & Caicos (UK)
- United Kingdom Sub-Bureau
Turks & Caicos (UK)
Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force
To protect life and property, prevent and detect crime and maintain peace.
To make the Turks and Caicos islands a safe and secure country.
Respect, transparency, compassion, integrity, professionalism and fairness.
As with all UK Overseas Territories, Turks and Caicos has its own constitution, government and local laws. Territory constitutions set out the powers and responsibilities of the institutions of government, which include the appointment of a Governor, an elected legislature and ministers. Governors are appointed by the British Monarch and have responsibility for external affairs, defence and internal security, including ultimately the command of the national police force.
The Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force (RTCIPF) is headed by a Commissioner of Police who answers to the Governor. RTCIPF was established in 1799, making it one of the oldest Caribbean police forces. Today it has a strength of more than 270 police officers serving a population of more than 31,000 people living across 270 km² of archipelago cays and islands.
RTCIPF serves all of the inhabited Turks and Caicos islands, namely:
- Ambergris Cay;
- Dellis Cay;
- North Caicos;
- Middle Caicos;
- Parrot Cay;
- Pine Cay;
- Providenciales (counting for 85% of the population);
- Salt and Grand Turk;
- South Caicos.
RTCIP Structure:
Five Divisions:
- Headquarters Division;
- Two Divisions (A and B) which each have law enforcement responsibilities for specific Islands and Cays;
- Marine Division;
- Criminal Investigation Division (CID).
INTERPOL Manchester's Sub-bureau for Turks and Caicos
Located on the island of Providenciales, INTERPOL Manchester's Sub-Bureau for Turks and Caicos (SB) is part of the CID's Joint Intelligence Unit (JIU). SB staff include an Inspector who is also in charge of the JIU, an INTERPOL network security officer, technical staff and a contact officer.
The Sub-Bureau is the essential link between RTCIPF and INTERPOL's international law enforcement community. It serves as the contact point for all INTERPOL investigations relating to Turks and Caicos or requiring RTCIPF action.
The Sub-Bureau is the designated contact point for the General Secretariat, Regional Bureaus and INTERPOL member countries requiring RTCIPF assistance, criminal intelligence or data for international investigations and the location and apprehension of fugitives.
The Sub-Bureau works with other SBs and NCBs worldwide on a daily basis, processing international requests for cooperation and criminal data checks. It helps countries globally to identify suspects involved in international investigations, checking stolen travel documents or stolen vehicle data connected to crimes involving the Turks and Caicos islands. It provides investigative support to RTCIPF investigations or data checks requiring international police outreach.

Greetings all,
I live near Chicago and have been searching around for an Orthodox (OCA or ACROD) parish that still does congregational chant with a cantor.
I agree with you that it is a darned shame that prostopinije is so neglected. It is my second favorite form of chant after Byzantine. I use it in my private prayers quite often. I don't know any parishes in your area using it though.
I am more at home in the Byzantine-Slav tradition, I identify with it.
I thought this would seem rather obvious, but the big clue here is your OCA/ACROD stipulation. The liklihood of finding a single (or few) chanters with congregation plainchant singing with your OCA/ACROD stipulation is probably even less likely than finding a GOA or byzantine style parish that doesn't employ single/few chanters and uses only full choir. Different traditions.
Prostopinije is a chant form indigenous to the Carpathians and in a related form in use in Galicia. It is congregationally sung with a cantor led, either in monophony or natural harmony of 3rds. It is quite beautiful and is a complete system that can be used by itself for all Orthodox hymns. It fell into disuse in America because when the Byz Catholics went Orthodox they were russified. Some ACROD parishes still have it and limited arrangements of prostopinije show up in OCA parishes from time to time.
Does anyone know where some good examples of prostopinije might be online?
http://www.grkat.nfo.sk/hudba/sl09.mp3 ---> I can guarantee you would never hear this in America but it still sounds nice.
Does anyone know where I could purchase a CD of a Divine Liturgy sung in the Prostopinije chant? It would not matter if it were Slavonic or English. I'd really like to become more familiar with this music.
This is tone 5 irmos "Rejoice oh Isaiah" and is sung thus by a few yet (Fr. Jack Custer comes to mind) at ordinations. I was at more than one ordination in the Pittsburgh area where he lead this.
Perhaps Deacon Lance will recall it. I could probably get the notation for you if you are interested.
Really, when I heard it sung it sounded diffrently. It almost sounds like they were putting an ison in...?Anastasios,
Does anyone know of an OCA parish in Chicagoland that has retained the congregational plainchant?
It seems terribly odd that there would be not even one, since His Grace, Bishop Job of Chicago, is of Rusyn background and is a lover of prostopinije...
http://www.grkat.nfo.sk/hudba/zbors17.mp3 ---> majestic sounding
http://www.grkat.nfo.sk/hudba/sl09.mp3 ---> I can guarantee you would never hear this in America but it still sounds nice.
Anastastios, you are so wrong! http://www.grkat.nfo.sk/hudba/sl04.mp3 is the same track as: "Turn Not Thy Countenance"
Prokeimenon of Forgiveness Vespers, Tone 8, Carpatho-Russian Chant from our cd! :booty: :headbang:
Some decades ago, a 10-inch 78 rpm record of the Divine Liturgy in Slavonic was issued by Michael Hilko, the cantor and choir director of St Peter and Paul Church in Passaic. Prof Hilko was a Russian patriot politically and had thorough professional musical training, but unlike most Russian choir directors he recognized the value of Prostopinije and arranged it for his choir, using the version preserved in the oral tradition of his parish.
A set of instructional records, also in 10-inch 78 rpm format, was issued in then Czechoslovakia, along with the Papp Irmologion of 1970 (a revision of the Bokshai book of 1906). These have a *lot* of Prostopinije sung solo by a Greek Catholic cantor of Preshov, Nikifor Petrashevich. They were reissued in the United States.
Is your parish Carpatho-Rusyn? Or does it just pick out neat arrangements? My point which I should have elucidated better was that in an American Carpatho-Ruysn parish that arrangement is NOT common. But I am glad that your parish does it as it is such a beautiful melody.
Nah, were OCA, but our Priest is of Carpatho descent, although I don't think that influences that music that much as we do a lot of Znammeny. David Drillock seems to think we do the most of any parish in the country (Znammeny).
You'll hear a chant and style that everyone can sing.

This week a Hacker News post indicated that Facebook is reading our privately sent messages, scanning them for content, and Liking pages depending on said content. For instance, if you send a friend a message about the Beyonce concert that includes a corresponding link, it's possible Facebook will go ahead and Like Beyonce's official page for you – maybe even twice.
A video explaining how the social network scans and analyzes message content for "likeable" data showed how one such message increased Like counts by two – the video has since been pulled from YouTube. But privacy researcher and consultant Ashkan Soltani created a test page to see if sending a link via Facebook Messages could bump up its likes. You can try it by grabbing this link, and without hitting Like, send it via private message to a Facebook friend – and before you do, note the number of Likes. Once sent, that number should increase by two. You can watch this in action below.
While the test page method consistently works, there's a little more confusion about actual brand pages. I sent a handful of brand page links to a Facebook friend, noting the number of Likes before and after. Though the numbers increased, there's no way to definitively tell if this is from my sending them or from other users legitimately hitting Like on these pages.
Still, there's some pretty overwhelming evidence to suggest Facebook is reading private messages. Soltani, who also originally saw the post on Hacker News and checked out the since-pulled YouTube video, explains. "The video was focusing on how to boost likes, and one thing I noticed from the demonstration was that in order to do this, he was sending private messages, and this implies Facebook is scanning private messages." Basically, when you send a link through a message on Facebook, it creates a thumbnail that you essentially are previewing. Facebook does monitor this preview to make sure you aren't sending malware – a simple security system. "But the value only gets increased when the link is actually sent – the preview and URL verification won't increase the number of Likes," Soltani tells me.
"We know Google has been doing this for awhile, but I think it's surprising for most people that Facebook is doing it," he says.
Not only is it surprising that Facebook is monitoring messages, but that it's leading to Like-boosting. It does two things for brands: One, it gets them those new Likes. Two, it gives them a more accurate view of their organic shares. Privacy options on Facebook means it can be difficult for marketers to track how their pages are being shared, but Facebook reviewing what's in private messages mean they can get a better idea – Soltani, in fact, found that Facebook Insights were reporting the increase in organic shares of his page over private messages.
In response to the report, a Facebook spokesperson says that while private information isn't being shared out of messages, data is being recorded to give brands better organic share numbers and also admits there appears to be a bug increasing Likes:
"Absolutely no private information has been exposed. Each time a person shares a URL to Facebook, including through messages, the number of shares displayed on the social plugin for that website increases. Our systems parse the URL being shared in order to render the appropriate preview, and to also ensure that the message is not spam. These counts do not affect the privacy settings of content, and URLs shared through private messages are not attributed publicly with user profiles. We did recently find a bug with our social plugins where at times the count for the Share or Like goes up by two, and we are working on fix to solve the issue now. To be clear, this only affects social plugins off of Facebook and is not related to Facebook Page likes. This bug does not impact the user experience with messages or what appears on their timelines."
It's an interesting twist shortly after Facebook has staked so much in ridding the site of Like-jacking and faked Likes – not to mention the social network's unending bid to win user trust.

The battle is raging, but peace may soon be at hand. Is one cloud better than the other, what's the difference, and can you have the best of both worlds?
Cloud computing (a.k.a. grid or utility computing) has matured to the point where most organizations are currently in the cloud to some degree or are contemplating making the move. The benefits in terms of savings (fewer hardware and software investments), scalability, and agility are well documented. So the decision to head for the cloud is virtually a no-brainer — especially for companies that don't already have enterprise-level datacenters with the requisite compute, storage, networking, and operating system resources. Deciding what kind of cloud, however, requires a bit more brainpower.
The Public Cloud
The public cloud provides commercial services like Google Apps, storage, sales force automation, and other suitable Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications over the Internet in real time. By sharing IT infrastructure with others and benefiting from the flexible distribution of resources, companies realize significant savings and faster time-to-market for deploying new services and bringing proprietary apps online. The downside? By throwing in with the public cloud, you have less control. Which is why some IT managers are looking to bring the benefits of an external cloud in-house by delivering metered services exclusively via internal resources.
The Private Cloud
A private cloud takes all the upside of its public counterpart and parks it inside the corporate data center. According to Wikipedia, it "emulates cloud computing on private networks…and offers the ability to host applications or virtual machines in a company's own set of hosts." A private cloud provides "the benefits of utility computing — shared hardware costs, the ability to recover from failure, and the ability to scale up or down depending upon demand." The key technologies required are virtualization for scalability, flexibility, and maximum hardware utilization; automation for fluid workload provisioning; and, authentication to restrict unauthorized access. But unlike with a public cloud, you have to build and manage the infrastructure yourself, and thus, won't see the upfront savings on capital outlays and management expenses that come with a publicly shared resource pool. Since the economy has been a key driver behind the attraction of cloud computing, why would you want to bring the cloud inside?
Why Go Private?
The primary reasons are security and control. For starters, in a public cloud, you effectively put all your eggs in one basket. If the cloud goes down or the vendor goes out of business, you're out of luck. With a private cloud, you provision your own services and control access via an in-house Web portal.
By keeping data within the data center, you eliminate out-migration costs, gain direct control over Service Level Agreements (SLA), and enable better compliance with a variety of regulations surrounding data privacy, protection, and storage. In fact, some government regulations and corporate governance mandates dictate that certain types of customer data must reside on premises, making the use of a public cloud unfit for some applications.
So Where's It All Heading?
Analysts say that organizations with enterprise budgets and deep staffing will increasingly use private clouds for delivering mission-critical business apps and hosting development and test sites — particularly if they already have major investments place. An additional application that is showing great promise is the use of "partner" clouds as self-service Web portals for customers and partners. While organizations are not likely to move their entire IT infrastructure to a private cloud, it's clear that the provisioning of commodity services across shared, virtual resources can have a major impact on the bottom line: lower costs, less management burden. One caveat, though — to be cost-effective, a private cloud needs to draw enough workload to justify the investment. Without sufficient volume, it will not benefit from the economies of scale inherent in cloud computing.
The Best of Both Worlds
Given their many positives, it's not surprising that private clouds have become very appealing. A recent IDC survey revealed that 55 percent of IT executives said they'd prefer using a private cloud over a public offering — but not for all applications. The lines between the two are blurring and as luck would have it, a public-private hybrid model is a hot, new trend. Mike Vizard of IT Business Edge notes in his blog that "cloud computing will routinely become more hybrid with application workloads dynamically shifting back and forth between internal and external clouds. Once that happens, however, the distinction between public and private cloud infrastructure will start to fall apart and the term cloud computing itself may simply disappear…" To hasten that development, new technologies that let you build virtual private clouds on top of public infrastructure are emerging. Just this February VMware introduced a connector for moving virtual workloads between VMware-based private clouds and publicly hosted cloud services. "The software makes it as easy as possible for VMware customers to extend their datacenters into the cloud," said Matthew Lodge, VMware senior director of cloud services. It appears that maybe you can have it all.

According to an AAA monthly report, the price of gas in January was the second highest average on record for the month.
According to an AAA monthly report, the price of gas in January was the second highest average on record for the month.
The national average price of gasoline increased 13 cents (four percent) a gallon in January, which was the first monthly increase since August. Gas prices nationally have increased 14 days in a row for a total of 22 days during the month. Drivers in the Northeast continue paying among the highest prices in the continental U.S. because local production and supplies still have not recovered from Hurricane Sandy.
Drivers in the Midwest saw the highest price increases for January as a result of rising crude oil costs in the region and decreased gasoline supplies. States with the highest monthly price increases included Minnesota, 33 cents; Indiana, 24 cents; Michigan, 23 cents; Illinois, 23 cents.
AAA expects the national average to increase in February due to seasonal refinery actions, but at a slower pace than in the previous two years when the average climbed by 29 cents per gallon, (2012) and 27 cents per gallon (2011). Despite the expected slower overall pace, it is likely the national average will rise temporarily above year-ago levels in the coming days.
