The week in review
Best boost for presidential candidate John Kerry: The Massachusetts senator wins the January 19 Iowa caucuses.
Worst horror on I-95: A fuel truck plunges off a three-story overpass in Maryland, exploding on the interstate below and killing four motorists January 13.
Most shocking death statistics to come out of Iraq: 22 U.S. servicemen committed suicide there last year.
Best sign City Council elections are looming: Less than three weeks before the February 7 Democratic convention, chiropractor David Brown and Rose Hill Neighborhood Association president Kendra Hamilton toss their hats into the race for three open council seats. At press time, incumbents Maurice Cox, Meredith Richards, and Kevin Lynch had not announced their intentions to run or not.
Least welcome paving of a dirt road: Neighbors are grousing about SunCom founder Thomas Sullivan's plans to pave a three-mile section of Blenheim Road at his own expense, David Dadurka reports in the Daily Progress.
Worst hiking story: Delores Kay Reed, 46, of Stuarts Draft is found dead in Shenandoah National Park January 14 by her husband, who reported her missing January 12. Authorities are awaiting an autopsy report to determine the cause of death.
Worst end to a bad story: Convicted pedophile Richard A. Ausley is found dead in his prison cell January 13. Ausley abducted 13-year-old Paul Martin Andrews, buried him in a box and sexually molested him in 1973, leading to a Virginia law last year that can keep serial abusers incarcerated after serving their prison sentences. [See News story, page XX.]
Best outrage: Valley pilots cry foul after a January 14 CBS News story says little private airports, such as Eagle's Nest in Waynesboro, could pave the way for terrorist attacks. Eagle's Nesters say their planes are tied down, locked up, and safe– according to the Waynesboro News-Virginian.
Most mysterious absence: UVA women's basketball star Brandi Teamer is suspended indefinitely, and Coach Debbie Ryan remains mum on exactly what team rules Teamer broke.
Worst way to get a smoke: Someone tosses a cement block through the window of the Joy Food Store on East High Street early January 12 and makes off with 20 packs of Marlboros and 16 packs of Newports, according to the Progress.
Least successful fencing: Shoplifter Michael Cody, 41, of Culpeper confesses to stealing more than $25,000 worth of merchandise and is discovered when he tries to sell a purloined antique toy train on eBay.
Best idea to come out of the DMV recently: Publishing wait times of offices on its website, dmvnow.com.
Best media saturation: Soloist Dave Matthews appears on the Today Show January 8, on Jay Leno January 13, and on VH-1's Driven.
Best plug for Charlottesville: Several locals– including John D'earth, Joel Jones, and Chris Tetzeli– appear on the recent Driven episode detailing the early years of Dave Matthews. Photos by Hook staffers Jen Fariello and Hawes Spencer also appear on the show.
Best second act: Virginia Tonight, the 30-minute show that public TV station WVPT airs after The Newshour with Jim Lehrer, picks Crystal Abbe Graham as co-host. Graham was editor of the Observer during the reign of Jeffrey Peyton and now runs an online newspaper with her husband, Chris, in Waynesboro.
Headline most likely to cause a double-take: "Sodomy law under review" tops a photo of two men campaigning for Senator John Edwards in the January 14 Progress.

Ensuring your servers stamp as small a carbon footprint as possible on the earth and in your data center can encompass everything from making sure they are shipped in recyclable packaging to hiring an analyst who can predict the total life-cycle environmental impact.
For this test, we examined power consumption as a way to judge whether Windows Server 2008 or Linux is, in fact, the 'greener' operating system. As the price of power hits record heights, power reduction mechanisms shipping within an operating system should play a key role in you energy conservation plan.
See related story: How we did it See related story: Greener pastures for Web server farms? See related story: NOC infrastructure may thwart green OS ideals See related story: Virtualization thwarts green OS initiatives
Our tests point to Linux as the winner of the green flag by margins that topped out at 12 per cent. But we must note that our results are full of stipulations imposed by our test bed, and as the more truthful car advertisements might warn -- your wattage may vary.
We ran multiple power consumption tests using Windows Server 2008 Enterprise Edition, Red Hat's Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5.1 and SUSE Enterprise Linux 10 SP1 on four, popular 1U server machines, one each from Dell and IBM and two from HP. The results showed that while Windows Server 2008 drew slightly less power in a few test cases when it had its maximum power saving settings turned on, it was RHEL that did the best job of keeping the power draw in check across the board.
The variable settings allowed by both Windows and Linux -- which let you toggle between having a high energy efficient server vs. a high performing one -- can certainly have an impact on overall server consumption. But again, your mileage will also vary given the workloads you place on your servers and whether or not you're using popular virtual machine hypervisors to support multiple operating system instances on the same physical server.
The edge in either test category will likely not last as operating systems become more finely tuned to work in lockstep with advanced server chipsets, and as additional coding techniques that more closely tie operating systems and applications to power considerations take hold across the industry.
Part of the current "green" operating system difficulty lies in the disconnect between how an operating system and its applications can be optimized to let the underlying system quiet itself down to a lower power-consuming state while at the same time not sacrificing the ability to react to servicing application (and therefore system and user) needs.
In our testing, we found that the CPU 'throttle-back' mechanism -- the main technique for how an operating system can aid in reducing a server's energy draw -- requires new firmware and updated drivers that specifically support that feature. Only the IBM x3550 and the HP DL-360 G5 arrived ready for optimal power conservation. The HP DL-160 and Dell 1950 servers required several updates throughout our six-week test period to accommodate the CPU throttling features of Windows 2008 and Linux.
We truly know from the trenches that it really isn't easy getting your servers to be green.
CPU conservation
No matter the operating system, Windows or Linux, the leading form of power conservation comes from throttling back the CPU to let the server rest during quiet activity times. Spinning down hard disks to a quieter state is the other major power-saving setting available to Windows servers.
Even though Linux desktop distributions can use the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) specification, which is designed for laptops, rather than servers, that feature was not implemented by Red Hat or SUSE for the servers we tested.

Release Date: July 30, 2012
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Architectural historian Despina Stratigakos, an award-winning scholar of modern German architecture, is at work on the first in-depth study of the aesthetic and ideological constructions of the "domestic" Adolf Hitler and the uses to which they were put by propagandists of the Third Reich.
She has received a prestigious two-year Marie Curie Fellowship from Germany's Gerda Henkel Foundation, to support her ongoing research and writing of the book, "Hitler at Home" (forthcoming from Yale University Press).
Stratigakos, PhD, an associate professor in the department of architecture at the University at Buffalo, says "Hitler at Home" will span the fields of architectural history, social history and politics and explore how the Fuhrer's domestic spaces -- which reveal a great deal about his self-conception -- became a part of the national cultural imagination and were used to launder his image in Germany and abroad.
"My goal with this book is to demonstrate how power can manifest itself in seemingly innocuous architecture and how Hitler transformed his domestic space into an instrument of political influence," says Stratigakos.
"Through the design of his homes we see how Hitler imagined his private life, and how he positioned this self in relation to his public identity," Stratigakos says, "as well as how intricately and expertly the artists and propagandists of the regime interwove these facets into a seductive whole.
"I am investigating the many ways in which Hitler's domestic spaces were packaged to sell the Third Reich to the German people and international audiences," she says.
Stratigakos says Hitler's homes were the result of his complex, long-term collaboration with his designers and his image-makers.
"Gerdy Troost could be called the interior decorator of the Third Reich," she says, "and Hitler worked closely with her. However, Hitler had a hand in every aspect of his home design and decor. He is credited with designing the architecture and approved the interior decoration, from the choice of fabric to the color schemes and furniture." He also selected the art works from his personal collection.
The elaborate, aggressive public theatrics of the massive Nazi rallies held at the Nuremberg party grounds designed by Albert Speer were carefully conceived to leave a distinct and lasting impression of the Reich and Fuhrer as the all-powerful, threatening, and untouchable leader of the German people.
"The staging of Hitler's domestic life, however, aimed to leave an impression of Europe's worst nightmare as familiar, respectable, and one of the people.
Stratigakos will focus on two domiciles: his luxury Munich apartment, which was a private home sometimes used to impress visitors but never seen by the public, and the Berghof, an Alpine estate in the Obersalzberg crafted as the idealized German home writ large -- a reflection of its principal inhabitant and his racial fantasies.
The Berghof was a public stage upon which the domestic Hitler lived amidst what was described as "soft greenery and snow white cascades." Its rooms were famously said to be full of music, bowls of fresh flowers, softly twittering Harz mountain canaries and watercolor sketches by the Fuhrer himself.
"This presentation of a deer-petting, dog-loving, child-friendly, country gentleman of artistic taste and gentle demeanor," says Stratigakos, "was useful because it appeared to contradict the accounts of violence and persecution coming out of Germany. It was employed by Nazi propagandists in the 1930s to disarm critics at home and abroad."
One way in which this was done, she said, was by promoting Hitler in reassuring magazine and newspaper spreads published in Germany and around the world. A testament to the Nazi PR effort, these appeared long after Hitler's intentions toward world domination were painfully obvious.
Stratigakos cites a notoriously obsequious article in a 1938 issue of Britain's Home and Gardens. Titled "Hitler's Mountain Home," it described the Berghof in fawning detail as an elegant paradise whose many charms reflected those of its creator, the Fuhrer himself. Indeed, as late as October 1939 a Life magazine spread on Hitler's artistic and design ambitions admired his "tasteful" home.
It didn't end there, however.
Dozens of pastoral images of the beloved Berghof appeared on contemporary postcards and were mailed by the thousands throughout the world by Germans proud of the Fuhrer and his home. Many of the postcards survive today, relics of the normalizing propaganda of the Reich.
Publicity photos and newsreels showed Hitler entertaining heads of state, international stars, diplomats and his own people at the Berghof, backed by the startling Alpine landscape.
"So powerful was the propaganda surrounding Hitler at home," Stratigakos says, "that both the Berghof and the Munich apartment were sites of fascination and public pilgrimage during Hitler's lifetime and well beyond."
In fact, after the war, she says the West German government was able to stop tourists or followers seeking out the apartment -- which the public had never even seen -- only by turning the entire building into a police headquarters.
The charisma of the Berghof was another thing entirely.
"Thousands trekked to the Berghof during the 1930s to see the place and catch a glimpse of Hitler and his cronies, some of whom had homes on the estate," Stratigakos says, "and they continued to come long after the estate was bombed, burned and virtually destroyed through the efforts of the Allied forces and the post-war German government."
Stratigakos says all of this testifies to the frightening power and success of the Nazi campaign -- and Hitler's personal effort -- to represent this place and its principal inhabitant as the benevolent heart of a new order.
Stratigakos is the author of the book "A Women's Berlin: Building the Modern City," a history of a forgotten female metropolis, which won the 2009 German Studies Association Book Prize. She also has published extensively on issues of diversity in the building industry, the public image of women architects, connections between architectural and sexual discourses in Weimar Germany, and exiled Jewish women architects in the United States. She received her Ph.D. from Bryn Mawr College and taught at Harvard University and the University of Michigan before joining the faculty at UB.

PRINCETON, N.J. – The No. 2 Yale lightweight crew team came close, but ultimately narrowly lost to No. 1 Harvard in the annual Harvard-Princeton-Yale regatta. The regatta, held on Princeton's home course, on Lake Carnegie, featured many close races across the board. The Bulldogs finished first in the first freshmen event, however, Harvard, propelled by wins in the three varsity events and second freshmen event, took home both the Vogel Cup for overall team dominance, as well as the Goldthwait Cup for its varsity race victory.
The first race of the day, the second freshmen race, did not include a Yale entry, thus it pitted Harvard and Princeton directly against each other. Harvard fielded two fours, which both finished in front of Harvard's four. Harvard A came out on top in 7:31.0, compared to Harvard B's time of 7:38.6 and Princeton's time of 7:42.5.
The next race was the first freshmen race. Yale gained an early lead, however all three crews were within a few seats over the first thousand. Over the next 500, Yale and Princeton started to pull ahead of Harvard and were even going into the final quarter of the race. Yale used a strong sprint to move away from the Tigers and win in 6:10.3. Princeton was two seconds back, finishing in 6:12.3 and Harvard finished third in 6:14.6. This victory allowed Yale to capture the second annual Freshman Bowl, awarded to the winner of the first freshmen eight.
In the following race, the Yale second varsity fought hard, but ultimately Harvard's moves proved to be too much for the Bulldogs. Harvard won the race in 6:04.0, Princeton finished second in 6:07.4 and Yale finished third in 6:10.9.
The highlight of the regatta was the first varsity race. Coming into the race, Harvard and Yale were both undefeated and ranked the top two teams in the nation. Yale got off to a fast start and held an early lead. Establishing a strong rhythm, Yale was able to push out and held a lead going into the second thousand of the race. However, Harvard used a strong move to gain a slight lead going into the final 500 meters. Yale was unable to counter and ultimately fell to Harvard by 1.4 seconds. Harvard won the race in a time of 5:51.0, Yale was second in 5:52.4 and Princeton finished third in 5:57.0. The win earned Harvard the Goldthwait Cup.
The last race of the day was the third varsity race. Yale and Harvard were locked together for most of the first 1000 meters. However, Harvard used a strong second half to pull ahead, winning by 5.5 seconds. Harvard finished in 6:15.2, with Yale second in 6:20.7 and Princeton third in 6:23.1.
Harvard's victories boosted them to a Vogel Cup victory with 39 points. Yale was second with 25 points and Princeton third with 20 points.
Yale now has three weeks to further train and improve before the championship season begins with the Eastern Sprints on May 19.

View of Grafton
"View of Grafton, West Virginia, occupied by the Federal Troops, under the command of General McClellan, in 1861. This beautiful little town is situated on the banks of the Monongahela, and is the junction of the Norhwestern Virginia Railroad. It is ninety-six miles below Wheeling, one hundred and ninety from Pittsburg, and two hundred and seventy-nine miles from Baltimore. Its principal hotel was the Grafton House, owned by the railroad company, and conducted on very liberal principles. The town was occupied by the Federal troops in 1861, and was a position of considerable importance. The beauty of its situation can be readily seen from our sketch. It is one hundred and ninety-eight miles from Harper's Ferry, and two hundred and one from Cumberland." —Leslie, 1896

We just reported on three emulators being removed from the Windows Phone Store, but now we're pleased to relay news that the apps are once again available. Developed by M.k, Snes8x (Super Nintendo), VBA8 (GameBoy Advance), and VGBC8 (GameBoy Color) were spotted to be M.I.A and immediate reaction led to speculation that Microsoft had started cracking down on emulator apps.
We learnt that develop M.k actually voluntarily pulled his own emulators from the store and failed to renew his developer account. We're not entirely sure why this occurred, but we're sure many fans will be pleased to see his work be made available once again. It's an added bonus that all three are listed for free.
You can download Snes8x, VBA8 and VGBC8 from the Windows Phone Store (all three require Windows Phone 8).

This past weekend, I was the editorial guest of honor at Capclave 12, a literary science fiction convention held in the Washington D.C. area. Capclave is an old-school con—no masquerade and little hallway cosplay, no film or anime tracks, but tons of talk about books books books stories and authors and editors. So I fit right in!
Capclave is relatively small—a few hundred attendees—but is very professional, and the con attracts significant guests. Next year's guest of honor, for example, is George R. R. Martin, who needs no introduction. There were also important guests this year: Michael Dirda of the Washington Post—the rare "mainstream" book reviewer who loves SF and writes about it frequently—appeared for example. The dealers room was quite nice—independent presses and bookstores were represented, as were gaming stores, and jewelry and apparel operations. And every attendee got a goodie bag with a free book and magazine of some sort, plus coupons to local shops. (Most smaller cons don't do a goodie bag, so it was a pleasant surprise.)
Capclave is also a good convention to attend for anyone who aspires to be a writer, as editors and major writers appear, and there are panels oriented around writing and publishing, workshops, and plenty of time to make friends, or even, *gulp* to network. One advantage I had as guest of honor is that nobody tried to pitch me their manuscript. The only way I'm buying anyone's novel is if they move to Japan, learn Japanese, publish in that country, and get famous over there, after all. I pity other editors who might make an appearance though!
Capclave also features parties every night, and the con is convenient to Washington D.C. tourist attractions and a decent little strip mall with a number of fast casual restaurants if one tires of hotel fare. It's definitely worth attending, and perhaps even flying out for.
I had a great time hanging around with the author guest of honor John Scalzi (an early supporter of All You Need Is Kill and horror author Brian Keene (a lover of Otsuichi's ZOO), and other writers as well. I gave a writing workshop on idea generation to a fully packed house, gave a solo panel about Haikasoru, where I gave away copies of Belka, Why Don't You Bark? My sister even attended the convention, because, as she said, she "wanted to see people being nice to you." She also brought cookies.
And treated nicely I was! In fact, here's the ultimate symbol of honor, a handmade glass ornament made especially for me. Check it out:
As you can see, it's Cthulhu from the stories of H.P. Lovecraft (I'm a Lovecraftian!) seeking enlightenment under the cherry blossoms, with a bottle of sake. Or perhaps it's spinal fluid. John Scalzi received a similar gift based around some of the themes of his novels.
So definitely check out some old-school SF conventions if you have any in your area! They can definitely be as fun as an anime or manga convention, even if you're not the guest of honor. (Though I also recommend working your way up to guest of honordom if you can.)

Ivorian international winger Salomon Kalou is the latest player to fall under the microscope of GiveMeFootball, with the 26-year-old Chelsea winger reportedly courting interest from Barclays Premier League suitors.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool are being linked with a move for the versatile former Feyenoord forwards, who is claimed to have flown back to England from African Cup of Nations training to discuss his Stamford Bridge future.
With his future in England far from clear, we discuss the pros and cons over a move for the player, and ponder where his future could lie on February 1st.
Experience. Kalou has played a staggering amount of games for the Blues since joining in the summer of 2006 - 148 Premier League matches and an overall total of 230 appearances in all competitions.
He's also played in a Champions League final, appearing regularly in Europe for the Blues, as well as in the 2010 World Cup finals in South Africa.
His ability to score goals also can't be under-estimated, with the last two seasons his best. He scored ten in 31 league matches last term, and is certainly aware of how to find the back of the net.
At 26, Kalou also offers good value for money at a reported £3 million in-terms of longevity, with plenty of years left in the 37-cap international's tank. He has just six-months left on his deal with Chelsea.
Versatility is also another advantage, with the Ivorian able to adapt to playing on either flank in a 4-3-3 formation or lead the line alongside a team-mate in a 4-2-2 line-up.
Whilst the Ivorian has featured under most managers at Stamford Bridge, he's rarely been used as a starter, and holds the record for most appearances from the substitutes bench in the Premier League at just over 100.
His wages are also a probable stumbling block, with Kalou reportedly wanting in the region of £90,000 - a factor which is preventing him from securing a new deal in west London.
On the pitch, Kalou can drift in-and-out of games, and has often been criticised by Chelsea fans for giving the ball away too cheaply on the flanks.
Andre Villas-Boas also seems to be unsure over the player's ability, with just eight appearances under the former Porto manager's guidance and minimal impact made this season.
Kalou's time with Chelsea appears to be coming to an end under Andre Villas-Boas, and with no new deal on the horizon and his contract coming to an end, the Blues could easily cash-in on the player.
Arsenal is arguably the best option, with the Gunners struggling in the forwards department - aside from Robin Van Persie and loanee Thierry Henry, who happens to be Kalou's hero.
The Gunners have told the BBC that speculation over a move is untrue, but various newspapers have claimed that he's jetting into London for talks at the Emirates, and it seems like a solid if unspectacular move for Arsene Wenger.
As for Liverpool, Kalou represents a much cheaper option for Kenny Dalglish than Darren Bent, another reported target, but would have to leave the capital to switch to Anfield.
TalkSPORT is today claiming that the Reds have made an enquiry over the player's availability, but it could be too little too late.
Expect Arsenal to hold the advantage, and a move to happen in the next week or not at all.

Rated 1 out of 5 by ianh from Dull and Useless I just got this from my wife as a Christmas present - mainly because I asked for a zester for Christmas. The zester appears to have never been sharpened at the factory - totally useless. The channel knife is pretty dull as well but due to its design can still gouge out a trench. Going to take the set back tomorrow and see if I can find one that works. The pouch is cheap plastic and the set has low-end plastic handles but I would expect plastic to make it dishwasher safe. Not in the same ballpark (or even the same state) quality-wise as my Wustof knives that I dearly love.Date published: 2013-12-25Rated 5 out of 5 by dude from Exceeded Expectations!!! I'm pleased with the quality of these garnishing tools, and with the ease of use. They fit the hand (my hand, which is pretty average) and are keenly sharp.Date published: 2013-05-06

Benchmark Your Computer with Debian 5 Lenny
Ever want to know how your computer stacks up against other computers? Are you running a decent machine or are you seriously underpowered? Debian 5 Lenny provides an easy way to start making some comparisons.
Choose Preferences and "System Profiler and Benchmark". When the window opens you will see that you can generate a system profile which will provide you with a list of your system resources, hardware, etc. This is a very handy troubleshooting tool. But it also provides a way to benchmark your computer. A benchmark runs a standard test on your hardware and operating system to determine how you stack up against other machines. It will give you a good reference point if you need to convince the wife…you need a new computer!
The benchmarks are at the bottom of the left hand screen. It may be the easiest just to click "Generate Report" at the top of the window because that will run it all and provide the reports in a web browser…easy.
Once you generate the reports you will be able to see how you match up on each of the benchmarks. The comment at the bottom of each window tells you if the best is a higher or lower score in each benchmark. It also compares your score with an Intel processor and a PowerPC. Once you have reviewed your benchmarks closely this is what you say to the wife:
"Honey, Lenny told me I need a new laptop"
"Who is Lenny?"
"Oh, Lenny is my new assistant, he just started work on Valentines Day."
Good Luck on the laptop.

Methodism 101
What makes a United Methodist Christian different from other Christian believers? It has been said that United Methodists are a people of grace. Not that we have a selfish, hoarding, stronghold on God's grace, but that we tend to talk more about grace, live out of that grace, and gravitate more toward God's grace than […]

The Argos Data Collection and location System (DCS) is a data collection and relay program that provides global coverage and platform location. The Argos program is administered under a joint agreement between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the French Space Agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES). Additional partners include EUMETSAT and ISRO.
The system consists of in-situ data collection platforms equipped with sensors and transmitters and the Argos instrument aboard polar-orbiting satellites. The global environmental data sets are collected at telemetry ground stations in Fairbanks, Alaska; Wallops Island, Virginia; and Svalbard, Norway; and pre-processed by the National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS) in Suitland, Maryland. Two CNES subsidiary companies, Collecte Localisation Satellites (CLS) in Toulouse, France and CLS America in Lanham, Maryland process the data and deliver it to the end user.
Flying the Argos system aboard polar-orbiting satellites provides worldwide coverage. Additionally, incorporating the Argos instrument on a moving satellite allows for locating an in-situ platform using Doppler shift calculations. This positioning capability permits a wide variety of applications such as monitoring drifting ocean buoys and studying wildlife migration paths.
There are currently more than 21,000 active Argos platforms collecting data for over 2,000 distinct projects in 100+ countries. Notably, U.S. applications account for ~40% of total system use, on average; and there are 44 distinct projects being managed by various NOAA offices.

Every year, athletes from around the world are hand selected and invited to participate in SNOWBOARDER Magazine's Superpark. There is no prize money; no gold, silver or bronze medal and regardless, hundreds of the best riders in the sport attend every year. Park builders and riders gather to exchange ideas, attempt new tricks, work with and push each other and the limits of the sport. For each, the exposure provided by the many photographers, videographers and SNOWBOARDER magazine coverage is a potential career catalyst. Additionally, Superpark puts a great deal of unique emphasis on the actual feature build component, a crucial creative process that regularly gets overlooked. This year, build teams included Seven Springs Resort, Bear Mountain and Boreal Resort. PistenBully provided four ParkPros, a PistenBully 400 Park Winch, a PistenBully 600 Park Winch and a PistenBully Scout.
For the first time in its nineteenth year of existence, Superpark was held in the east at Seven Springs Resort, Pennsylvania. Granted the relatively better snow season that the east experienced, it seemed like a good year for creative director, Pat Bridges to switch things up. Bridges explained, "No matter where we take it, Superpark is always 'super' and having the gathering at Seven Springs was no exception." For the resort, however, playing host is a big deal. Seven Springs is a much smaller resort than the previous event destinations, but is home to the east's only Olympic-size halfpipe in addition to six progressive terrain parks boasting nearly 100 features. Hosting Superpark was a perfect way to highlight these attributes.
In addition to being an honor, hosting and preparing for Superpark is exceptionally hard work. Making sure that the PistenBullys run without critical problems and facilitating builders' meticulous planning is crucial for a successful Superpark. PistenBully Product Specialist and renowned park builder, Jay Rydd reports that at Superpark 19 "The machines were pushed way beyond what is normally asked of a machine, and true to the PistenBully reputation, they just kept going strong." Equally complimentary, Director of Mountain Operations at Seven Springs Resort, Joel Rerko commented "The success of the event was in large part to the support provided by PistenBully. The equipment operated flawlessly throughout the build process while pushing and shaping massive amounts of man-made snow."
Seven Spring's snowmaking team had to make enough snow for all three build teams, a tremendous task given the size of Superpark features. The terrain staff not only had to construct multiple features of their own, but also had to insure that each other team had everything that they needed to complete their work. Extra preparation was necessary to accommodate the unpredictable weather of the east. PistenBully New England Sales Representative, Josh Nelson reported that "Mother Nature kept everyone on their toes throughout the entire event, from hot to cold; rain, sleet, snow, sun and fog." Joel Rerko and his team did a phenomenal job preparing for weather challenges and all building teams excelled at using every possible snowflake available to them.
Building the extreme features necessary to make Superpark a success takes around-the-clock effort. Clayton Shoemaker, Director of Park Development and Youth Marketing at Bear Mountain expressed "It takes the right machine and the right crew to move the amount of snow that was made at SNOWBOARDER Magazine's SuperPark 19. The build team from Bear Mountain came out to prove that we can push with the best of them and with the Park Pro 400 one of the most creative features I've ever seen at Superpark was constructed." Despite a week of exhausting work , Shoemaker says "The only thing I can think of is what the hell is Bear going to build next year!"
Reviewing Superpark from a creative standpoint, Pat Bridges stresses that "Superpark can only be as good as the men and machines who make it. Without superior grooming vehicles, the best terrain park builders aren't able to reach the limits of their abilities and creativity." He continues, "The PistenBully ParkPros that KATV brought to Superpark are the keys that unlock the door to the next level feature creation. They were versatile, reliable and eager to tackle any task making Superpark 19 quite possibly the best one yet." Joel Rerko additionally highlighted that "Providing state-of-the-art snowcats and mechanical support truly shows the dedication PistenBully has to terrain parks and the future of the ski industry."
Working with SNOWBOARDER Magazine and creative genius, Pat Bridges is a privilege for PistenBully. It is exciting to be a part of such a truly progressive event. Superpark is a one-of-a-kind creative gathering of talented athletes and hardworking people who share a common love and passion for the sport and the culture around it. PistenBully strives to continue enabling and progressing the hard work and creativity that Superpark so perfectly represents.

I thought the pushed-up sleeves conversation was very interesting but here is an even more taboo-ish concept for Americans – jacket on the shoulders
I have seen a few young Americans doing it lately but it still seems so specific to the Italians.
Why don't women do it more often?
let's discuss…

If you were reading last month, you would have seen that I made a Dump Truck for Shannon's son. Recently, she linked up a really cute video on my Facebook Page (click on photos and then scroll to the bottom for photos and videos). Her adorable son was running around wearing his little backpack. Take a peek - he's a cutie!
Next up, I need to finish this backpack... (and then a new one for Joshie and then one for Baby Bunny).
Note: I create and sell toddler backpacks through my Josh & Teo ETSY Shop. However, if you know how to sew and would like to tackle this project, visit Made by Rae's website to purchase a PDF copy of the pattern.
Happy Sewing!

Your favourite Animal Collective Song
yes! Slippi is their best song! SLIPPI IS THEIR BEST SONG! me? i was BORN slippy!
ananana slippi (intense screams). those screams are insane, i love that song
God yes. Fucking love Leaf House. I didn't know it til someone showed me this strange book he had, but its about this book called House of Leaves. Crazy fucking book, but neat. Leaf House is probably one of my top favorite songs. Love that shit on headphones.
SLIPPI is top five also. Love love love
leaf house is their most industrial and technical song, like, the composition is perfect. dat buildup
avey hadn't read house of leaves... it was may 2007! ... i said man you GOT to read it! i bet he never did! damn that avey!
tsk tsk
50 Year Sword this OCTOBER came out Oct 2005! been waiting 7 years for this god dammit! but it won't stop the pain of the bullshit that is THE FAMILIAR expected it 2012 (since 2000 / 2006 / 2012..just made SENSE!) but no! 2014 27 volume ... 1 per 3 months until 2021? oh man screw that! gah! i see the idea behind him doing a "serialization" of it and wanting feedback / people talking but this was sept 2010 first announced then sept 2011 and now it's almost sept 2012 it coulda shoulda been THIS year oh WELL i'll just continue to burn in hell!
Native Belle
Couldn't narrow it down so i'll do my favorite from each album: Alvin Row Meet the Light Child Pride and Fight Moo Rah Rah Rain Slippi Winter's Love Grass Fireworks Guys Eyes From Centipede Hz so far it'd have to be Monkey Riches From EPs: People Water Curses I Think I Can Solo: We Built a Robot Untitled 3 Bros You Can Count on me Ghost of Books Best single b-side thing: Safer
It's all about Alvin Row. That song fills me up with a lot of emotion. I was walking to school listening to it and I randomly burst out laughing. The drop in that song is also very incredible. SOMEDAY I WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY THE WHOLE THING. My favorite back to back is Native Belle and Hey Light though.
Why hadn't I listened to Water Curses before?? I feel like a big big fool
rokky i always forget that you havent even heard a good chunk of their discography.. or has that changed since spring?
Which album has the best cover in your opinion? I really like strawberry jam's cover and I also really like Fall Be Kind's cover
Here Comes the Indian by far!!! ac isn't really all that great for album covers and they're REALLY bad for music videos mostly! i find this so odd!
definitely hcti and i love mpp too
JACOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -inside the singing box. I started with MPP. After seeing their other albums MPP seems almost boring. When I am an old man with little ability to hear or listen to music, if I hear merriwheather it will conjour nastalgia that no other music from now could.
No love for the Sung Tongs cover? I mean, look at it. [IMG]http://i46.tinypic.com/i1fvkk.jpg[/IMG] Look at it. [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2hzk2nm.jpg[/IMG] L-look a-at it.. [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/1582fif.jpg[/IMG] L-l-loook at iitt-LOOK AT IT!!!! [IMG]http://i49.tinypic.com/2s5xy6b.jpg[/IMG]
I know ticon, I've barely listened to any of the EPs yet, and I need to right that soon..
youre in for a treat, FBK is golden
of all the sounds they have gone through (freak folk, post-modern pop, satanist, etc) my favorite is what they did for water curses. That is my favorite. stange percussion that is automated allows panda to sing, the guitar sounds cool, interesting lyrics and all that. I wish it was a full LP because that set up and sound is soo cool. I would incoporate FBK into that to an extent at least wwiws which is an amazing song
When were they satanist? I've never heard that used to describe music. I really like the vibe to Water Curses too, especially Cobwebs and Seal eyeing. It's my favorite EP. That and People
Oddsac = satanist Lol
they were briefly satanist in 2006... not much was going on that year release-wise and they dabbled slightly with satantik sounds but then realized they had gone too far! (to lose it all!)
i never really dug seal eyeing (SEE: LION! lying in a coma that poor feline!) and people as an EP is kinda off... the live people and lemming colours... it should have been PEOPLE/TIQUID/FICKOSYKO/muffins+colors! oh if only! and then maybe HONEYCOMB/GOTHAM/MURKMAN/CRIMSON+CLOVER!
also i never felt the sung tongs cover matched the album's sound... i think i said this before! in a weird way the indian art fits more with it but that's due to the similar feeling of the rabbit video / 7inch cover ... THAT fits more the feeling i gets!
i think their best era of sound/set-up is a tie between danse manatee and FBK
whats an example of their satanist sounds? The Indian artwork is probably my favorite, I would love a huge poster of it, but the LP will have to do!
[img]http://i685.photobucket.com/albums/vv215/jevaisaulit/HereComesTheIndian.jpg[/img] It's pretty agreed that the Indian cover art is fantastic. G.O. [!]: I actually feel the Sung Tongs cover really does match the album's sound. Then again, I have very trippy connotations with that album, so maybe that's why. The stark red and yellow, the grinning zombie-types, match perfectly my connection to the album (if that doesn't sound pretentious) Back to what you said earlier, G.O, I don't like AnCo's music videos that much either, though I rarely like a music video unless it's something special. But I love the majority of the covers, and by the way has Spirit not been mentioned?
Here Comes the Indian is clearly their best album cover, worst would be Hollindagain for me, i kinda like the cover for Danse as well for some reason..
Spirit's cover fits the music so well, it seems kinda creepy and stuff. I really like these: https://encrypted-tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhyBjS80Ui971aGRwb1SiEeqaa2ibNwJ4intQms3u4vvVZMpk6 http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&rlz=1C1LENN_enUS496US496&authuser=0&biw=1920&bih=971&tbm=isch&tbnid=Jki2TAG5Jxm3pM:&imgrefurl=http://www.last.fm/music/Animal+Collective/Spirit+They're+Gone+Spirit+They've+Vanished&imgurl=http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/37151973/Spirit%2BTheyre%2BGone%2BSpirit%2BTheyve%2BVanished%2B294_550.jpg&w=350&h=350&ei=ZnU7UMynCJGByAGfn4HwDA&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=345&vpy=140&dur=578&hovh=225&hovw=225&tx=157&ty=101&sig=116382233468728550808&page=1&tbnh=146&tbnw=158&start=0&ndsp=49&ved=1t:429,r:1,s:0,i:76
I dont know which one is the actual cover though
I think their best music video is the one for Blush. The dancing, the color, the bubbles, all fit perfectly with the song. It looks like a lucid dream. Their videos seem to be a visual experience to go along with the mood of the song rather than story based, except for WCWAR.
The one with the angels is the cover for Spirit, the first one is for the Spirit/Danse reissue CD from 2003, they weren't called Animal collective when Spirit first came out. I love the original handmade Hollinndagain covers http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/Hollinndagain.jpg http://www.munumu.nu/media/images/records/md/1325-1.jpg http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/529/14471kb9.jpg/sr=1
Really digging the pantha du prince Peacebone remix right now!
Although the only resemblance to the song Peaebone are a few samples taken from it.
i need to get an OG hollin before they disappear off of the face of the sell-osphere
i think sung tongs is my favorite cover. To me it looks like a visual for freak-folk music. my favorite AC song atm is their cover of On a Plain. I finally actually listened to it.
The Hollins are prettey expensive, I wish I had money
ive seen animal crack boxes go for more than OG hollins
im kidding about the satanist thing but if you need an example... some of ttg and oddsac?? naw,definetly some negative feelings going on in ttg. People is strange to be called an ep to me. I loved tikwid and listened to just that song for 500 times straight and then got very very sick of hearing it. I never got much into the actual song people as its kind of like really getting into queen in my pictures, nice to sick back and listen to but not enough substantial cpntent to be like "this is my favorite song!!!" I like sung tongs art. Warm colors, warm music. still need to hear animal crack box
people (live) is PART of the people ep, not a bonus song. i think thats awesome, like a little ep wrapped by the centerpiece
This is funny stuff speaking of this satanist stuff. Ftom an article on ODDSAC But one shoot involving child actors came to a crashing halt when one of the mothers accused Perez of being a Satanist, pulled her child out off the set and threatened to sue if he used any of the footage. Further adding to the prevailing air of bad vibes, a gaffer fell off a ladder and hurt himself, the producer assistant suffered a panic attack, and one of the child actors ate too many cookies off the catering table and vomited all over herself. The scene, which Perez refers to as 'The Satin Entertainer,' features Animal Collective's Dave Porter, aka Avey Tare, wearing caulky white-face makeup and satiny-scarlet vestments, seated on a dais, surrounded by children and making cryptic utterances. The scene was filmed at the home of Dibb's parents. Dibb's mother is a 'spiritual consciousness therapist' and there is a meditation room adjoining the Dibb family homestead in Maryland. The room is hexagonal and festooned with a purple carpet, and because of its small size, only cast and crew were allowed inside during the shoot. When the parent in question—hopped-up on Red Bull and chain-smoking, according to Perez—got a look at the set, she assumed they were filming some kind of Black Mass ritual and went ballistic in front of all the other parents. Soon everyone was demanding an explanation."I had to sit all the parents down and assure them that I was a nice guy and there was nothing to worry about," recalls Perez. "They wanted to know what other scenes we had shot and everything I could think of was not very parent-friendly—'hmmm, let's see there's the scene with the vampire with the melting head, and the girl in the room with the black goo coming out of the wall and the family sitting around the campfire with marshmallow goo foaming out of their mouths'— but somehow I gained their trust back."
Hehe thats hilarious

Smart phones and technology advancements have revolutionized the way people behave, interact, consume and live. However, organizations have conspired to make it a little too easy to efficiently "process" customers, rather than figuring how to effectively and intelligently "serve" them. This is increasingly causing frustrating customer service experience and increasing the divide between what customers want and what organization do.'Future Ready' Customer Service means staying agile. It's about redesigning customer service operations to be "agnostic" in how they deliver "satisfaction" through available call-center and web channels. Where possible, it's about delivering that satisfaction without any need for customers to use either channel, which can be accomplished with smarter engineering of "intuitive" products and services at the outset. The channel-agnostic Future Ready customer service platform relies on predictive analytics to expand self-serve options even as it increases opportunities for representatives to cross-sell or up-sell when they do engage customers. In the process it transforms the customer service function from a cost proposition to a value proposition.

Points of Interest
- At age four, Amber survived spinal meningitis after being in a coma for three days. Doctors told her parents that she would probably die, and that if she did live she would likely be brain damaged and deaf.
- Amber is also a cancer survivor. She was successfully treated for melanoma (a potentially deadly skin cancer) in 2007.
- Amber is a dedicated Christian and credits Jesus as the foundation for her personal and professional accomplishments.
On September 24, 2008, Amber Neben won the time trial world championships, becoming the fourth American woman to do so. The race was held just six weeks after the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. Amber competed in the Olympic road race, but came in 33rd after fighting a mechanical problem. She also took back-to-back wins (2005 and 2006) in one of the most prestigious international women's stage races, the Tour de l'Aude in France.
In high school in Orange County, Calif., Amber competed in soccer, track, and cross country, but she suffered from frequent stress fractures. Later, she attended the University of Nebraska in Lincoln on a track and field scholarship, but the stress fractures eventually sidelined her from active competition.
She began serious cycling while she was studying for a PhD in molecular biology, genetics, and biochemistry at the University of California in Irvine. After a top-10 finish in the collegiate national championships, Amber decided to cut her doctoral studies short — taking a master's degree in biology instead — and enter professional cycling.
Amber has won major races all over the world riding with some of the most successful women's cycling teams in the world. Her husband, Jason Neben, is an assistant professor of education at Concordia University Irvine.

Full-Court Press: One-and-done rule helping the little guys
Philadelphia, PA – The one-and-done rule has had an interesting effect on college basketball. While it has guided many top-caliber players to school for a season to create a much deeper talent pool, they rarely stick around for another year of unpaid labor.
The one-and-done rule has become the adopted title of the NBA's decision to implement a 19-year-old age minimum on its incoming players. High school seniors with hoop dreams have the option of joining the development league, playing in a foreign country or attending college for a year. The majority end up choosing to play for one of the top-tier college basketball programs.
Mid-major programs benefit from the one-and-done rule due to the trickle-down effect. Schools like Wichita State are able to sign higher-rated recruits who need more than one season to prepare for a professional career. Kentucky found a way to win it all in 2012 with a squad made up primarily of underclassmen, but it will be very difficult for more than one school to consistently compete using such tactics.
Andrew Wiggins, who is considered the best high school basketball prospect since LeBron James, has still yet to sign of a national letter of intent. The highly sought recruit has narrowed his list to four with North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky and Florida State still remaining viable options. But will any of those programs benefit from one year of Wiggins?
Team chemistry is a key to finding success on the hardwood, and it can be undermined by a general focus on talent. On paper, Kentucky looked like it was destined for another trip to the Final Four in 2013 after John Calipari managed to land four blue chip prospects in last year's recruiting class. However, the Wildcats were upset in the first round of the NIT.
Meanwhile, coach Gregg Marshall's Wichita State Shockers displayed mental toughness and a veteran approach during their march to Atlanta and the Final Four.
Ben Howland attempted to follow Calipari's blue print last season by bringing in arguably the best recruiting class in the country with Shabazz Muhammad, Kyle Anderson and Tony Parker - three McDonald's All-Americans. Jordan Adams also made an impact as he ended up being the team's second-leading scorer as a rookie before suffering a season-ending injury in March.
Although UCLA had four freshmen who could have gone anywhere in the nation and found playing time to go along with a solid group of returners, it was hardly a title contender for various reasons. The Bruins were unable to get past the second round of the NCAA Tournament and Howland is now stuck in the unemployment line.
Despite its disappearance from the NCAA Tournament field, Kentucky still lost two of its top three scorers to early decisions. Nerlens Noel, who is expected to be selected very early on draft day, still elected to make the jump although he suffered a season-ending injury during the heart of the Wildcats' Southeastern Conference schedule.
Noel would have been one of the first players chosen in last year's NBA Draft had he been allowed to declare out of high school, but instead landed in Lexington to play 24 more games at the amateur level.
The NBA's age limit policy is intended to enhance the degree of the incoming rookies to create a better product. While Noel's draft stock wasn't diminished by his injury, his rookie season in the NBA will be much more difficult until he returns to full form.
Calipari's unrivaled recruiting skills made it very easy for him to replace Noel and Archie Goodwin and his Wildcats are expected to be a national contender once again. If Wiggins selects Kentucky, Calipari's recruiting class may go down as the best of all-time. With or without Wiggins, the Wildcats will be loaded with talent and fun to watch at the very least.
The high school prospects predicted to follow the one-and-done path will still remain at the top of every college coach's wish list for as long as the NBA age minimum exists because of their ability to immediately elevate a program. But late bloomers have quietly become much more valuable to college basketball.
Duke finished the regular season ranked second in the national polls. The Blue Devils were guided by the senior trio of Seth Curry, Mason Plumlee and Ryan Kelly. Although he clearly had a knack for scoring to go along with his great pedigree, Curry played his freshman year at Liberty in the less-celebrated Big South Conference. Plumlee and Kelly rarely saw action during the early stages of their careers.
Mike Krzyzewski is not completely opposed to one-and-done-caliber players as Kyrie Irving and Austin Rivers both had very brief stays in Durham. Coach K's balanced approach to recruiting makes it easy for the Blue Devils to absorb the loss of them.
Butler has risen to national prominence since the one-and-done rule was instated. The Bulldogs have been ranked in the Top 25 for all but a few weeks since the beginning 2006-07 season. They also became the first mid-major program to reach the championship game in successive seasons since 1979, when seeding of the tournament began.
Brad Stevens is brought up every time a premier coaching position becomes available yet he doesn't appear to be vacating his post on Hinkle Fieldhouse's home bench anytime soon.
He has not had a player depart after one season to pursue a professional career and the two Butler players who left early for the NBA, Gordon Hayward and Shelvin Mack, are still working toward graduating. It will be interesting to see how the Bulldogs' migration to the new-look Big East plays out next season.
If he had any desire, Wiggins could infiltrate the Bulldogs' lineup and be a valuable addition to the roster. But adding a group of one-and-done players to the fold would be very difficult and possibly detrimental.
Butler is categorized as a "well-coached" team because of its discipline on the court. Stevens's players are well versed on how to react to different situations and know his offensive and defensive systems very well. Each member of the team appears to cherish his role.
The NBA's age limit does not appear to be going anywhere anytime soon. The rule's effect on the landscape of college basketball will continue for as long as it exists, for better or worse, unless the NCAA decides to react with change.

The Cleveland Browns provided the most drama on draft weekend, from general manager Ray Farmer's deals to a homeless man's wishes to Josh Gordon's potential suspension. But the craziest story of all seems too nutty to believe.
ESPN Cleveland's Tony Grossi had a source who says the draft card prepared to be given Commissioner Roger Goodell in New York originally had Teddy Bridgewater's name on it. According to the source, the name was replaced with Johnny Manziel's name with 10 seconds left on the clock because of owner Jimmy Haslam.
"That is not true," said Browns spokesman Zak Gilbert. "I was in the draft room. That didn't happen."
Coach Mike Pettine came even stronger on the topic Monday at a charity golf event Monday via The Plain Dealer, saying the suggestion was "beyond laughable."
Farmer said after the draft that Haslam in no way tried to influence the draft process.
The Bridgewater card story sounds too ridiculous and too ripped from the movies to be true. But there's no way to know the truth now, and we probably never will. We do know that Browns fans unfortunately have to deal with wacky stories like this trailing them around like a cloud of dust. Even if the story sounds fantastical, enough crazy things have happened in Cleveland just since Haslam arrived to make you wonder.
The Browns are covered differently than almost any other team. The town clearly loves football, as does its local media. But the relationship between the Browns media and team sometimes seems uncomfortably close, careening between overly positive to pained, which is the other side of homerism. It is in this atmosphere that wild conspiracy theories are created.
Too many people following the Browns for years instinctively expect the worst. It's like that old quote: "Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't after you."
The "Around The League Podcast" wrapped up the draft by picking our winners and losers.

ATLANTA, GA – The York College baseball squad concluded their stay at the 2011 Emory University Rawlings Classic on Sunday afternoon with a 10-5 loss to the host Emory Eagles. The Spartans fall to 1-3 overall while the Eagles improve to 4-1 overall.
The Spartans jumped out to the early 2-0 lead in the top of the first. Sophomore catcher Justin Cohen had a sacrifice fly to plate the first run while senior Joe Doyle also had an RBI single as the Green and White got off to a good start in the game.
The Eagles wasted little time in responding as they tallied three runs in the bottom of the second inning. Gabe Shivers plated all three runs in the frame with a two-out bases loaded triple, giving Emory the one-run lead. The Spartans tied the game at three in the top of the third as junior Steve Tretter walked, advanced to second on a throwing error, to third on a fly out to right and then scored courtesy of a Doyle single to right.
Emory answered quickly as they plated three runs on three hits in the bottom of the third to forge a 6-3 lead. They pushed it to 7-3 in the bottom of the fourth on a Ryan Jones RBI double.
The Spartans cut into their deficit in the top of the sixth thanks to some shaky Emory defense. The Spartans received an RBI ground out from senior Kyle Cook and a sacrifice fly from Tretter as the Spartans got two runs without a hit.
Emory got a trio of runs in the eighth as junior Brandon Ullom had an uncharacteristic outing as he allowed three runs on three hits with a Spartan error in the frame.
Jason Edwards earned the win for Emory as he went six innings, allowing three unearned runs on five hits with three walks and a strikeout. He improves to 1-1 for the season. Ryan Orlovsky allowed a pair of runs in his one inning of work while Matt McMahon and Ryan Toscano each threw a perfect inning of relief for the Eagles.
Sophomore Brian Lusby suffered the loss as he allowed seven runs on 10 hits with four strikeouts and two walks during his four innings of work. He falls to 0-1 with the loss. Freshman Tyler Alexander was stellar in his three innings of work out of the pen. Alexander allowed one hit with one strikeout as he gave the Spartan offense a chance to get back into the game. Ullom allowed three runs, two earned, on three hits in his one inning of work.
Shivers led the Eagle offense with three hits, three RBI and a run scored while Jones added a pair of knocks and a trio of RBI. Andrew Cohn and Brandon Hannon each had two hits as Emory banged out 14 hits in the win.
Doyle led the Spartans with two hits and two RBI as York could manage just six hits in the game. Worthman added two runs scored for the Spartans.
The Spartans head home to York on Sunday night before heading to Salisbury University for a three-game Capital Athletic Conference series starting on Friday. First pitch from Salisbury on Friday is slated for 2:30 pm.
