New Games for Old Friends
Well, while it's been a while, I wanted to take some time to share some new games with you. While yes, I miss terribly, still play, and PRAY for the day World of Warcraft Minis sees light as a product again, I'm still taking time to play others... with that in mind, I'd like to introduce two games to you, one I've played and one I think looks worth it based on info... sink your teeth in and let me know your thoughts...
First up is a game I found in an ironic way. It's called Quarriors, like Warriors with a "Qu", and it's uniqueness is extremely intriguing and fun! Before I give you my spin, here's a great video to bring you up to speed on it!
My take? I've played about 20 games of this so far, and it's amazingly simple, fun, and full of strategy! First thing you notice is the design. The cards are beautifully drawn and have a unique flair to the artwork. It's not Anime and it's not overly cartoony, it really does fit itself though. The second thing you realize, is that it's extremely simple. I felt at many times like I was playing Dominion with dice... and yet, it flt new and exciting. While similar to Dominion in setup with a certain number of optional cards (or in this case dice) to acquire, the randomness of the dice and the combos seem well balanced and still enticingly strategic to pull you in.
I found myself, while only looking at 3 different versions of each character (regular, strong and mighty) trying to pick apart, ok, if I rolled this, and this, and did this, what would happen? It got me thinking, which I love a game to make me do.
Games take about 20 to 30 minutes as a 2 player, with it taking slightly longer (maybe 15 minutes per player added) for 3 and 4 player games. Set up is easy and takes moments. The length comes in using your dice rolls! Do you summon an army and go for glory points and attack (glory points are how you win) or do you build and acquire more, so later turns are more powerful? Or, do you balance your moves, scoring and building where you can?
Throwing dice is just always an entertaining activity to me, due to the randomness and the continued draw of "nailing it" and getting exactly what you wanted. Rolling the best results is like top decking in a card game and it really comes to life in this game when you roll the highest level of a character and get them in play to wreak some havoc!
My only drawback is I wish there were more characters to play with! The game does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life in art and game play, but after you've seen the Defender of the Pale in all 5 games you play in a night (even with the randomness of cards drawn for set up) you pine for more characters... which of course, means more dice, and hopefully leads us to expansions!
Ratings (1 through 10 with 1 being lowest and 10 being highest):
Design: 8 (It's simple and doesn't try to be more than it is)
Fun: 8 (More characters will add to this)
Ease of Play: 8 (Takes a game or two to grab the process of "culling" but it's not too hard to pick up)
Value: 7 (LOTS of cool dice and a nice tin for storage, but at a price of $44.95 retail)
Overall: 7.75 (Highly recommended)

Oh, and you might ask what was the odd way I found this title? I use an app called Zite on my iPad and one of my categories is "Board Games", and it showed a review of this one day, which lead me to the video shared, and then I was hooked.
Second up is a new Games Workshop item I found... Dreadfleet!
Once again, let's review via the power of YouTube:
This is the one I have not played, but want to. Let's face it, aside from price, we've all played a Games Workshop product at some point, and been amazed. Their products are top notch, their game play enveloping, and intriguing and brimming with so much strategy and tactical combat that even Napoleon couldn't shake a stick at it.
Henceforth, I can't say I'm disappointed in what I see in front of me at all when I see Dreadfleet. The opportunity launch a steampunked Dwarven pirate ships attacks at a dead man's chestful of an armada!? Count me in!

While I know we all miss that gorgeous ex-girlfriend of ours, WOW Minis... I thought I'd share these insights with you for discussion, your enjoyment, and your discussion.
I hope everyone is doing well and that as I find more gems like these, I can pass them on. In the meantime, if you have any games you have found you think I should check out, let me know!

Juana Maria Better-than-Nothing: The Strange Tale of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island
Juana Maria Better-than-Nothing: The Strange Tale of the Lone Woman of San Nicolas Island | KCET

It was 1853 on San Nicolas Island, the most remote of California's eight Channel Islands. Sixty-five miles southwest of Point Mugu, in Ventura County, one visitor reported the island's "shifting sand dunes, its 90-foot fog shrouded peak, its deep cut canyons, its bleak cliffs and the crashing seas breaking over its rocky shores" made it "just about one of the most desolate places on earth." This isolated isle had once been home to a thriving group of native people known as the Nicolenos. Now it was supposedly uninhabited, though sailors sailing by occasionally reported seeing a human figure waving her arms, running towards them on the foggy shore. In 1853, Captain George Nidever set out on his third trip in search of this legendary apparition. The year before, his crew had discovered footprints in the sand. This time, they found what they were looking for near three whalebone huts in a clearing among the sand dunes. Crewman Carl Dittman recalled the moment of discovery:
She was seated cross legged on the ground and was engaged in separating the blubber from a piece of seal skin which was lying across one knee and held by one hand. In the other hand she grasped a rude knife, a piece of iron hoop thrust into a rough piece of wood for a handle....Outside there was a high pile of ashes and bones showing that she had lived in this place for some time. Baskets of grass and vessels of the same material made in the shape of a flagon and lined with asphaltum, used to hold water, were scattered about. On a sinew rope stretched between two poles several feet above the ground were hanging pieces of seal blubber, while near her was the head of a seal from which the brains already putrid were running.
A woman believed to be Juana Maria (Braun Research Library Collection, Autry National Center, Los Angeles; P.1574)
The discovery of the lone woman put an end to a speculative mystery that had brewed in coastal California for eighteen years. But as was often the case for native people in the "new world," her "discovery" would soon lead to her death.
The Nicoleno tribe lived and flourished on San Nicolas Island for around 8,000 years. In fact, the huge number of town sites scattered across the three-by-nine mile isle have led some archeologists to speculate that it may have been a vacation spot for other Native American groups from the mainland. The Nicolenos were seafaring people, using canoes to trade with neighboring tribes like the Gabrielinos and the Chumash. The waters and shores of San Nicolas were rich in abalone, whale, fish and sea otter, supplying residents with abundant food and ample goods.
In the early 1800s, strangers in the form of Russian, American, and native Aleut hunters from Alaska began appearing on the island in search of sea otter pelts, so valuable they were referred to as "soft gold." In 1811, a group of 30 fierce hunters, employed by the Russian-American Company, invaded the island. They stayed for over a year, dramatically reducing the sea otter population. They also raped many Nicoleno women. Nicoleno men who attempted to protect the women were killed. A series of battles and sneak attacks ensued, and the Nicoleno population was decimated. The hunters eventually left, but returned in 1815 with Russian hunter Boris Tasarov. This time, they were stopped from doing further harm by Spanish authorities who arrested them for illegal hunting.
However, the damage was already done. By 1835, there were only 18-20 Nicolenos left on San Nicolas Island. After hearing of their plight, missionaries sent a ship called Peor es Nada (Better than Nothing) to "rescue" the remaining islanders. Once all the Nicolenos were on board, one woman begged to be put ashore, claiming her baby was still on the island. Before the crew could restrain her, she jumped overboard. Due to adverse weather or just plain spite, the ship left shortly thereafter, leaving the lone woman behind. The rest of the remaining Nicolenos dispersed to different missions on the mainland, and almost all soon died. Many thought the woman had suffered a similar fate and had drowned in the turbulent sea (the Peor es Nada itself sank off the coast of San Francisco a month after the "rescue").
Over the years, the legend of the lone woman grew. There were occasional sightings by passing sailors, and a strong oral tradition at the missions kept the story alive. Around 1850, an otter hunter visiting the island claimed to have found her hut. That year, a padre from the Santa Barbara Mission sent a local otter hunter to look for her. The hunter found nothing. A year later, George Nidever, a colorful fur trader and rancher, was titillated enough by the mystery -- as well as by reports of the abandoned island's huge seal and sea otter population -- to make the choppy journey to San Nicolas. He was unable to locate the woman during his first two trips.

On the third expedition to the island, his search party (which included mainland Native Americans) took a different route on the island, convinced the woman had deliberately eluded him the first two times. They soon found a basket filled with cormorant feathers and tools near the shore. In an attempt to prove she was there, they scattered her things along the ground. A few hours later they returned, and found the basket carefully repacked. Shortly thereafter, the woman was discovered, surrounded by a pack of loyal dogs. Captain Nidever described her appearance:
The old woman was of medium height but rather thick. She must have been about 50 years old but she was still strong and active. Her face was pleasing, as she was continuously smiling. Her teeth were entire but worn to the gums.... Her covering consisted of a single garment of shag's skin, the feathers out and pointing downwards, in shape resembling a loose gown. It was sleeveless, low in the neck and girded about the waist with a sinew rope. When she stood up, it extended nearly to the ankles. She had no covering on her head. Her hair which was thickly matted and bleached a reddish brown, hung down to her shoulders.
Though there are conflicting reports about the woman's initial reaction, she soon became friends with Nidever's crew. Unable to glean her real name, the men called her "Better-Than- Nothing," presumably in honor of the ship she had jumped off of all those years before. The Nidever party stayed on the island for a month, hunting and learning about the woman's life on the island. According to the Los Angeles Times:
The woman showed no signs of fear...and offered the visitors food. By signs she indicated that her baby had been killed years before by wild dogs which infested the island and that she had existed on seafood and seals killed with crude stone weapons....The woman showed them how she killed seals at night, made sinew fish lines from them, and hooks from abalone, which abounded along the shore. She also showed them well hidden caves and canyons where she hid when marauding Russians and Aleuts visited the lonely isle on foraging and pilfering expeditions.
In return, the crew stuffed a seal for the woman, much to her delight. "She hung it by a string to the roof of her hut," Dittman remembered, "and lying on her back under it would amuse herself for hours at a time by swinging it backwards and forwards."
Although no one could understand the language she spoke, she talked and sang incessantly and was an adept signer. Crewmen were impressed with her resourcefulness -- she kept every scrap of food she could, saving bones so that she could suck them to the marrow. She helped the visitors find fresh water and firewood, and showed Nidever how to make a water proof jug using heated stones and asphaltum. When it was time to leave, she boarded the ship willingly, her clothes and one filled large basket the only remnants of her former life.
She was taken to Mission Santa Barbara and placed in the care of Nidever's wife. She was a regional curiosity, and folks came from far and wide to see her sing and dance. Nidever was offered a chance to display her as a circus sideshow, which he declined. After so many years alone, the woman seemed thrilled to be with people once again. She was fascinated by the new sights and sounds around her. When she saw a man on a horse for the first time, she thought they were one creature. She was so amazed when the rider dismounted that she had to go over and touch them both. All of her kinfolk were dead by this time, and none of the other Native Americans or multi-lingual priests at the mission were able to understand her. But her kindness was evident to everyone. She was continually given gifts by visitors which she would accept effusively and then give to the Nidever children.

Only a few weeks after she arrived at the mission, she died. Though her death was blamed on an overindulgence of rich food, a simple illness that she had no immunity to was probably the real cause. On her deathbed, the woman was baptized in the Catholic faith and given the name Juana Maria. She was buried at the Santa Barbara mission.
Over the ensuing decades, San Nicolas remained a lonely, rocky outpost. Basque sheep herders occasionally lived there in isolation. By 1937, there was also a small Navy compound on the island, where radio operators sent weather reports to the mainland. The island is now a naval base, home to munition sites and special installations. It is closed to the public and is rarely mentioned in profiles of the Channel Islands.
But the legend of Juana Maria lives on. The classic children's book "The Island of the Blue Dolphins," based on her story, is still read by thousands of school children. As recently as this year, archeologists continued to dig up portions of the island. Navy archeologist Steve Schwartz uncovered a cave that he believes may have been used by Juana Maria. However, as of March 2015, all archeological work on the island has been halted due to a dispute between the Pechanga tribe (who claim kinship with the Nicolenos) and the Navy.
We know precious little about Juana Maria Better-Than-Nothing. Her thoughts during eighteen years of abandonment and isolation are lost to time, as is her real name. We do know she risked her life to save her baby, and that once she was "found," her kindness and strength impressed all who encountered her.

Wikipedia was revolutionary in that it managed to harness the creative drive of millions of amateur and professional scholars. Now Wikipedia is trying to become part of the establishment. It wants to be "encyclopedic". In order to do this, it seems to have co-opted the pettiness and self-aggrandizement of a thousands of amateur bureaucrats.
— Dan. I had to look up "aggrandizement". To save you the trouble: "aggrandize: to enhance the reputation of someone beyond what is justified by the facts". Thanks, OS X!


"Modern" mass transit came to Chicago on October 2, 1890. On this day 122 years ago, an electric streetcar line began operating on the South Side.
Back in 1859, the city had gotten its first street railway. Rails were sunk in the middle of State Street, between Randolph and 12th Street (Roosevelt Road), and horses pulled iron-wheel carriages along the track at three miles-per-hour. It wasn't any faster than walking, but why walk when you could ride?
The State Street horsecars proved popular, and the line was soon extended. Service was also added on other major streets.
Cable cars came to Chicago in 1882. First developed in San Francisco, the idea involved having a continuously-moving cable sunk in a slot between the tracks, pulling the car along with it. Within a few years, Chicago had the largest cable car system in the country.
The later 19th Century was the age of electricity. Cities were beginning to string overhead wire for street lights and telephones. Naturally there was talk of running street railway cars using electric power. After a few false starts, a successful electric car line was launched in Richmond in 1888.
A live electric wire was strung over each set of tracks. A pole on top of the car connected to the wire, gathering power to run the car's electric motor. The pole was known as a "trolley," so the new vehicles were often called trolley cars.
Chicago had many privately-owned transit carriers in 1890. The bigger companies seemed satisfied with horses and cables. It took a scrappy little outfit called the Calumet Electric Street Railway to bring in the new technology.
The city's first electric streetcar line ran on 93rd Street between Stony Island and South Chicago avenues, in the Calumet Heights neighborhood. In 1890 this was a sparsely-settled district that had been part of Chicago for only a year. There was hesitation about bringing the new trolley cars into the denser parts of the city.
But the trolley cars were triumphant. They were cleaner, faster, and cheaper to run. In 1893 the larger companies began converting to electric power.
The transition took some time. Until overhead trolley wire was allowed in the Loop, the electric cars had to towed through downtown by horses. Finally, in 1906, Chicago's last horse and cable railways were converted to electric power.

Varsity Baseball Preview 2022
Cade Wetter and Finn Maclennan, Author
After a rough 2020-21 season for the Ipswich Tigers Baseball Team, things are looking up for the 2021-22 season. Not only talent-wise, but there are 9 returning players this year, meaning they have strength in numbers, too. The returning players are experienced with at least one year on varsity, so there is minimal nervousness throughout the team. There are also 5 seniors on the roster, and they play a huge role in the team's success. They all show hard work towards the program and all love showing up every day and working hard. The rest of the varsity roster is rounded up with juniors and sophomores, who are also showing a refreshing sense of energy that the team seemed to lack in seasons past. Most of them are coming off of a very successful season on JV last year, with the JV roster going .500, and the varsity squad with only two wins. Coach Zack Lamkin is the head varsity coach with his new assistant coach Alex Zenus, who assisted on JV last season. The JV team is led by IHS math teacher Mr. Hughes and is being assisted by Officer Perna.
One big thing that has shifted from last season to this season is the renewed confidence and leadership that the team seems to have. The addition of assistant varsity coach Alex Zenus is a big part of that. Zenus is a very young high school coach, just graduating from nearby Masconomet Regional High School in 2018. He is a great guy for the team to have in the dugout to help everyone play loose and relaxed, and his baseball knowledge is second to none considering that he is just 4 years older than the seniors on the current roster. The two captains, seniors Evan Stein and Finn MacLennan, also bring a new sense of leadership to the team. They ran captains' practices at The Grind Factory (an indoor facility in Salem) all winter in preparation for the season. They lead in different styles, as Stein is the more vocal of the two, and Finn is a more "lead by example" type of player. That being said, they can both fill each other's roles efficiently. Head Coach Zack Lamkin recently said in a practice that they are "the best captains we've had in my time as a coach." The other seniors along with the lone returning varsity junior Matt McGowan and sophomore returners Drew Lane and Nate Baise make this team very well led and experienced.
Another reason that the team is going to have a successful season is the talent, and there is a ton of it. Starting off with the sophomores Drew Lane and Nate Baise. Last year they both had very efficient freshman years that are going to propel them into successful seasons in 2022. Drew is already one of the biggest kids on the roster, and he is slotted in as the 2nd starting pitcher and the starting first baseman on
The Tigers celebrate a win on senior night of the 2021 season
days that he is not pitching. He does everything you want a player to do. He throws hard, hits for power and contact, and is a brick wall at first base. Nate Baise is the consensus best infielder on the roster and is coming into his own as a hitter this year, too. Although he has one of the smaller frames in the CAL, his confidence and skill on both sides of the ball will make him one of the premiere underclassmen in the area. Juniors Matt McGowan, Jeremy Lathrop, AJ Pezza, and Mark Norris should also make an immediate impact. Matt is in the running for starting catcher with fellow junior AJ Pezza, along with having a spot in the outfield and on the mound. He is one of the more powerful kids on the team, as he can throw hard and hit far. AJ Pezza is looking like the main option behind the dish, as he is fundamentally sound and is one of the smartest players on the roster. If he is not behind the dish, he can be found making plays at 2nd base and in the outfield, so he is a very valuable player for the team. Jeremy Lathrop is seeming to slot in as the 3rd starting pitcher and is looking for a defensive position to fill. He is very solid everywhere on the field and is one of the team's top hitters, so he will have many opportunities to be on the field this season. Mark Norris is looking to be one of the team's main relief pitchers. The tall and lanky junior has a very effective curveball that works off of his fastball.
The seniors are also instrumental to the team's success this season. Evan Stein is going to be primarily in the middle infield with Nate Baise, along with some time potentially in the outfield, first base, and on the mound. He is also one of the team's most dangerous hitters. Finn MacLennan will be the starting pitcher on opening day and will be playing primarily in the outfield when not pitching. He could also potentially play first base when Drew Lane is on the mound. He is also regarded as one of the better hitters in the area. Brad McGowan is the no-doubt best outfielder the team has and is one of the best the team has seen in a long time. His speed and pure athleticism allow him to seemingly catch everything that gets hit his way. He is also looking like an above-average hitter. Cade Wetter is running away with the third base position and is also making major improvements at the plate that should put him in place to have a successful senior campaign. He is also going to be a relief pitcher.
The Tigers will host the Saugus Sachems on April 11, with Finn Maclennan starting on the bump and an eager infield/outfield behind him. The Tigers are looking to do some damage this season, with an overall goal of going .500, and therefore making the playoffs.

Who Loves You, Baby?
More on the Anne-Marie Slaughter confession/manifesto in The Atlantic
by E.J. Graff
That Anne-Marie Slaughter article sure kicked up a lot of discussion, didn't it? I heard about it in advance and knew it would be big, but I had no idea how big. Below, a little roundup of some relevant discussion-and a reason to have hope that your work may not always crush the rest of your life.
First, a personal report. Atlantic editor Scott Stossel tweeted in reply to the title of my piece here yesterday, "Why Does The Atlantic Hate Women?" His answer: We don't. He and I had a brief, if intellectually sophisticated (cough, cough) Twitter exchange. I reproduce it below, stripped of some of the twitty formatting, and with some serial tweets merged:
Stossel: We don't! RT @theprospect: Why does @theatlantic hate women? http://ampro.me/LIBRcz New @ejgraff post
EJG: Then why not run articles that accurately reflect women's lives?
Stossel: But you concede in your piece that Slaughter hits agonizingly close to the bone. And she's for policies that you support.
EJG: Slaughter's piece is good. The framing is horrifying: the title, the picture. And she addresses an idea of feminism that's off. Where is your Rebecca Traister? or Garance (in print)? Or me? Jessica Valenti? Karen Kornbluh? Joan Williams? There are many women with sophisticated insights into our shared problems.
Stossel: I half-concede your point about the framing--but I also submit that far fewer ppl would read it w/out the resonant framing
EJG: @SStossel True, fewer ppl wd read it BUT they wd be left with the right msg. This framing blames feminism, not social structure.
Stossel: @ejgraff We've published a few good pieces by Karen in print
EJG: @SStossel Will go look for Karen's articles. But pls, kill the baby-in-briefcase image. It's just ludicrous.
Of course, Stossel is half-correct about the framing: It got huge attention in part because it speaks to that agonizing feeling that so many women have that, they, personally and individually, are doing it all wrong. I would argue that that feeling itself is structural, a response to the fact that feminism didn't get far enough-or that over the latter half of the 20th century, the workplace devoured everything else, which is a problem for women, men, children, and (to quote an antiwar poster that was current during my 1960s childhood) all living things. The half-accurate, slightly sensationalized framing is true, of course, of the title my editor gave to my post: Why Does The Atlantic Hate Women? They don't, of course. But the cumulative record of The Atlantic over the past few years-to pay attention to women's worries but to frame them wrong-has led many women I know to conclude that the magazine is run by men who all have wives at home and don't understand what all the fuss is about. (My wife wishes I could afford to keep her home. But hey, she married a writer. Her mistake!)
Okay, on to more commentary. The brilliant Rebecca Traister hit the ceiling about the phrase "having it all," which she urges us to refrain from ever using again, even in air quotes:
The Atlantic's current cover story, headlined "Why Women Still Can't Have it All," depicting a toddler in a briefcase clutched by a headless woman in dark hose (whom I can only assume is Diane Keaton from 1987's "Baby Boom") puts me in mind of a modest proposal: Working women should eat their babies, thus simultaneously solving the problem of childcare and what to make for dinner.
No, my proposal is this: We should immediately strike the phrase "have it all" from the feminist lexicon and never, ever use it again.
Here is what is wrong, what has always been wrong, with equating feminist success with "having it all": It's a misrepresentation of a revolutionary social movement. The notion that female achievement should be measured by women's ability to "have it all" recasts a righteous struggle for greater political, economic, social, sexual and political parity as a piggy and acquisitive project.
What she said.
Hanna Rosin pledges never again to lie about what she's doing when she takes care of her kids, saying, "After so many decades of mothers working, maybe it's time to end the collective American fiction that toddlers take themselves to the doctor or that they get sick only on weekends."
Bryce Covert managed to comment on the piece twice, once at The Nation and once at Forbes (I don't know how she does it!). Both are worth reading.The Nation article explores the structural discrimination that keeps women from climbing as quickly as men do:
Women have to overachieve just to reach par with men. They are also penalized for having families in ways that men are not… .Yet Slaughter shies away from calling out the political and corporate structures that keep women out. ... As Ilene Lang, president and CEO of Catalyst, previously told me, "Often women get stuck having to prove themselves over and over again. That's a block; they're not going up."
Meanwhile, her Forbes piece's title gives away the problem: "If Women Can't Have It All, Neither Can Men." (That brought to mind Karen Kornbluh's article of nearly a decade ago, "Why Dad Can't Have It All." Do you get the feeling that folks are not listening?) At Forbes, Covert delves into this problem:
One of the causes that Slaughter points out is that while family life has been completely revolutionized by women's entry into the workforce over the past half century, our economy hasn't done the same. Worse, things are getting harder for those who have commitments outside the office. Mother Jones editors Monika Bauerlein and Clara Jeffery described this phenomenon as the "Great Speedup": employees are being asked to work longer and longer hours without getting more pay in return.
That pointed me back to Sara Robinson's Alternet article, reprinted in Salon, "Bring back the 40-hour work week: 150 years of research proves that long hours at work kill profits, productivity and employees." Robinson gives an amazing history of the fight to work only 40 hours, replete with the data that persuaded employers to do it: Working less means you are more productive. And she offers a fascinating exploration of how that gave way to the 24-hour-avaiability expectation for office workers. Imagine working a 40 hour week! I want to cry at the thought of it.
And the New York Times took notice of all the fuss with this round-up by Jodi Kantor, which also includes a look at recent pronouncements by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg about work, life, and women's ambitions. Here's my favorite excerpt from Kantor's article:
For her part, Ms. Sandberg remained silent, declining a request to address the Atlantic article. But Ms. Slaughter said in an interview that the Silicon Valley executive was one of the many readers who e-mailed her as soon as the article came out. Her message: they had to talk more about this, and soon.
Oh yeah, baby. If the A-list power ladies are going to start talking about work-life policies, maybe change really is gonna come.

John Britto
No talent gets success without efforts, struggle, pain, rejection, and patience. But, if one is born to achieve something in life then all qualities mentioned above will suit a person, and then we see a shining star in the world of performing arts. Here we are sketching the life history of a choreographer whom we know as John Britto. Today, he is the founder of a dancing school in Sterling road which is considered as South India's premier dance and Studio Company. But since John Britto had no Godfather, he had to seek with a paper banner 'I John Britto like to teach dance''- this is a piece of self- explained advertisement he carried around with him. John moved from every educational institution be it a college or even school, but his approach was turned down by the institutions. Finally, one day he arrived at his alma mater, and when he was spotted standing outside Don Bosco's principal office for a long, the principal acceded to his request. Thus his journey began. He used to post on the walls of Don Bosco a hand-sketched banner 'Summer Dance Classes By John Britto'' and his first dance class took off in 1993 with an admission of just 17 students. John was then a first-year college student. Later on, he completed MBA and is a gold medalist from Loyola Institute of Business Management. He also received the Top Alumni Award from Loyola College in 2014 for his excellence in media arts of dance choreography. As the enrollment of students strength was scaling up, he took a decision to start his first western dance school in Chennai in 1996. The journey followed, and there was no looking back. He was invited to the US for a cultural connect 100 % dance scholarship program to teach American students in the USA. But then his task of teaching dance did not happen all of a sudden. After completing MBA, he felt never to work in the corporate world. Hence, he had to face tough questions from his parents and friends. In 1999, he began to launch his dance workshop Artworx, which was a parent company of his John Britto's Dance Co. After his dance school was launched in a full-fledged manner in 2003, the dance pioneer made his way and placed his feet for TV dance shows where he choreographed the participants. He had choreographed for Jodi No 1 and consecutively for its four seasons in a row. He was awarded the best choreographer award from Prabhu Deva. As a self-taught dancer, he had learned dance styles such as jazz, hip-hop, and salsa himself. He also launched in 2014 an event titled 'JB'S CHENNAI DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP 2014'. The event was aimed at spouting out top dancers in the country through the participation of members from the school, colleges, and corporates even. The dance director also was given chances as a choreographer in some Tamil movies such as 'Rombha Nallavan Da Nee', 'Nadhigal Nanaivathillai', 'Ilami', Chikkiku Chikkikichu' and 'Ammayi'.

Water near Joint Base and Earle polluted by possible carcinogen: report
Russ Zimmer
Military bases, including the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and Naval Weapons Station Earle, used a firefighting foam rife with dangerous chemicals for decades after being warned of the risks, according to a new report by the Environmental Working Group.
That head-in-the-sand strategy resulted in pockets of contaminated groundwater across the nation, including here in New Jersey, the EWG's report concludes. EWG is a nonprofit environmental research and advocacy group.
The firefighting foam contained PFAS chemicals, which have been linked to developmental problems in children and higher rates of cancer. Watch the video at the top to see how pervasive these chemicals are.
MTV'S JERSEY SHORE: Nightclubs Bamboo, Karma in Seaside Heights file for bankruptcy
PFAS are a family of chemicals that includes PFOA, an ingredient in Teflon, and PFOS, which can be found in products like Scotchguard.
Because the use of PFAS has been so widespread since the 1940s and because these manmade chemicals never breakdown, there is very likely some level of PFAS in your body right now.
DRINKING WATER: No one knows how much PFAS is in our water
Research into the adverse effects of PFAS is inconclusive, according to the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, but studies suggest the chemicals could be linked to:
Developmental problems in children
Interference with hormones
High cholestrerol
Increased risk of prostate, kidney and testicular cancer
Manufacturers began phasing the use of PFAS out of consumer goods in 2000.
The federal government has a guideline for PFAS in drinking water, but nothing in the rule requires cooperation or forces polluters to pay for cleaning up their messes.
New Jersey vaulted ahead of other states last year when it declared an enforceable limit on PFNA, another fluorinated chemical under the PFAS umbrella. The state is also close to cementing regulations on PFOA and PFOS that will require compliance.
PFAS: EPA plans to regulate cancer-causing chemicals found in America's drinking water
In a statement accompanying the report, the EWG notes that there were warning signs as far back as the 1970s that should have persuaded the U.S. Department of Defense to pivot away from aqueous film-forming foam, a fire suppressing agent that coats liquid fuel and prevents it from mixing with the oxygen necessary for combustion.
"Members of the military and their families share an outsize burden from exposure to PFAS contamination," said Melanie Benesh, EWG legislative attorney and co-author of the report. "The Pentagon must finally own up to its responsibility and clean up this mess it not only helped create but perpetuated for decades."
Find out what was uncovered at the Joint Base and Earle below the timeline.
Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst
Samples from three of 175 private wells surrounding the Joint Base were found to be beyond the federal government's recommended limit on PFAS in drinking water, according to a presentation from the defense department last year.
The tests returned results as high as 24 times the threshold. The Defense Department pledged to pay for the extension of water service to two properties and to continue monitoring elsewhere for the next year, reads the summary document from 2017.
A spokeswoman for the Joint Base could not immediately respond to questions.
JOBS: Jersey Shore tourist attractions to hire nearly 5,000 for summer
Naval Weapons Station Earle
At Earle, 13 of 18 on-base water monitoring wells returned samples above the federal guideline, at least one of which was more than three times the advisory level, according to the 2018 presentation.
Two off-base samples tested above the threshold, indicating an elevated risk to private well water in the immediate area. Residents at those locations were provided bottle water before their homes were tied into the nearest public drinking water system.
In February 2016, the Navy offered to test the well water for homeowners near Earle's fire training center next to the Monmouth County Fire Academy in Howell.
The firefighting foam in question is no longer used at Earle's training center, said Bill Addison, spokesman for the station. Neighbors have nothing to fear, he added.
"At this time, the Navy has found no reason to be concerned," Addison told the USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey. "NWS Earle's environmental team continues to monitor and test the groundwater in the area of the Military Sealift Fire Fighting School and have found no reason for further (action) at this time."

I was so flattered when Almina Concept's founder, Angela, personally reached out to me last year. In her email, she introduced herself as an ex-New Yorker who worked as a merchandiser at Club Monaco and O'2nd and most recently at Loewe. She did offer me a code to purchase anything for 25%. I bought a camel sweater and a grey T-shirt, and they have remained my favorite basic pieces. And I've been eyeing their new-ins every seasons ever since.
Almina Concept, as introduced by Angela, is a contemporary modern womenswear brand. They launched in August 2017 and is based out of LA. Almina offers modern basics that are trendy yet timeless at affordable price point. Everything is made in Korea.
I have been looking for a perfect wool brown oversized blazer to add to my A/W wardrobe for quite a while now. And when I saw this Wool Blazer went live on the Almina website, I knew right away that I had to get it. Its retail price was $288, a little steep compared to many blazers out there on the high-street. Couple days before my trip to New York, I decided to reach out to Angela by email letting her know that I had been eyeing that blazer. She quickly got back to me and kindly offered me a 25% discount code, and I bought it within a heartbeat. I brought it along my Oregon Coast trip with Headlands, styled it with a pair of matching colored boots (gifted by Italeau), a cozy cream colored turtleneck and a pair of black skinny jeans.
At some angles, the blazer does look really big on me, but it looks so cool in person. It feels so special and different from many other blazers I've seen. It is 'handmade in Korea' and made from 100% wool, hence, it justifies the price. There are two front buttons, drop shoulder and peak lapel features. I love the two front pockets as well. Please note that the blazer is only one-size. It is very over-sized on me (I'm an XS-S/0 in most tops, but it still looks so cool on!), so I'm sure it will fit many sizes up. Say hi to Angela for me if you ever decide to buy anything from her store as she would appreciate it. *I'm saving money towards this sweater, this sweater, and this sweater. I love the clean and light aesthetic the brand images are. The quality of the fabric and attention to every design detail are there. And it just keeps getting better and better.
Check out Almina Concept, here.

121 South Marlboro Street or Jennings – Brown House (Restored)
City Directories and History: Architecturally, historically and militarily significant, the Jennings-Brown House was built by Dr. E.W. Jones, one of Bennettsville's earliest physicians, on a four-acre site which he purchased in 1826-27. It was one of the first houses built after Bennettsville became the Marlboro County Seat in 1819. Architecturally, this house is important as Bennettsville's only remaining two-story home built prior to 1853. It is recognized as a town and area landmark and before being moved in 1900 to 121 S. Marlboro Street and subsequently altered, was an authentic example of the fine homes built in this area ca. 1830. The house also served as headquarters for Major General Frank P. Blair, commanding general of the U.S.A. XVII Army Corps, which captured and occupied Bennettsville on March 6-7, 1865. Listed in the National Register February 23, 1972.

Kelley: Goodbye WOW, your print days are over
Annie J. Kelley
akelley@battlecreekenquirer.com
I had a dream about work last Wednesday. I was walking along the shore of a lake and there was a group of older women hanging out, bobbing in the water.
They hailed me and I waved. They wanted to know why there was no longer a WOW section. I explained it came down to money. This wasn't a sudden decision — it was given a stay of execution for almost a year, but the print section couldn't be saved. They understood and I continued walking.
When I woke up, it was the first Thursday in almost 25 years that there was no extra section.
WOW has been my baby for six years, even when I was no longer features editor. I worked to fill it with local content, to tell stories and always find something to do within a reasonable driving distance. I spoke to artists and hung out at the ballpark and rode a dog sled and looked through the windows of miniature houses. I thought about beer and festivals and what parents needed to keep kids engaged. Sometimes there was an entertainment reporter, sometimes it was just me.
And the mustaches; so many mustaches.
VIDEO:Columnist Annie Kelley at Mosiac Storytelling Showcase
When traditional articles weren't attracting attention, we tried different approaches: the infographic, the listicle, the food column. With the help of designers down in Louisville, the section was bright and looked fun.
It didn't work. There was no saving WOW for print.
Online, it doesn't matter. Stories are released into the wild when they're ready, not bound by a deadline for the printer. There won't be fewer entertainment stories, I keep telling myself. There will still be the entertainment calendar on Thursdays and Bill's Bites on Wednesdays.
Still, there won't be a little extra weight in the Thursday newspaper, literally and metaphorically.
I'll miss the physicality of it, the special feeling I get when my hard work is something that has texture and smells like ink. I'll miss the orderliness of it. I'll miss throwing challenges at designers like Branden Barker, who would take vague ideas and turn them into something cool.
I will not miss the extra pressure on Wednesdays, trying to put the section to bed. I will not miss missing the mark, week after week. I will not miss the feeling of wanting to walk up to people and hitting them with a rolled-up WOW section to get their attention.
Maybe you watched comedian John Oliver's video about the importance of newspapers last week, him making a case for why you should pay for journalism. Good work doesn't come free.
It was bittersweet, to see the difficulties of my job lined out so neatly. Especially knowing that the end of WOW was here.
When commentators talk about the demise of newspapers, the emphasis is on fighting corruption. It is true and a good argument to hang your hat on. Plus, it's business savvy — people LOVE to read about crime.
Kelley: Courtney Brown's light continues to shine
Kelley: Hanging out at the sushi bar
It's a lesson in perspective when someone says there's no good news in the newspaper. There is — sometimes we even put it on a silver plate and attach neon signs. But even as people pay lip service to the cliché, they don't walk the walk (or click the click?).
This has been the hardest for me to accept, but the time has come for it. Our audience isn't getting any mileage out of this particular boulder and it's time to find another one worth putting my shoulder behind and pushing up the hill.

1 tree0 trees planted in memory of Kazmier Stefanski.
Brooksville, FL/Uncasville, CT-Kazmier Marion Stefanski, 81, entered into eternal life March 15, 2019, at his Uncasville home, in the company of his loving family.
He was born in New London on October 8, 1937, he was the son of the late Anthony and Bronislawa (Konopka) Stefanski. Kazmier was a graduate of New London High School class of 1956. He retired from Robinson Paperbox in 1984 after sustaining a severe heart attack. He was given two days to live on March 2, 1984. Six months later he underwent aortic anuerysm surgery and was declared totally disabled. However, Kazmier endured and fought through every medical obstacle that came his way to remain with his family. He later underwent by-pass surgery with complications and continued his battle to survive and watch his family grow. He was a dedicated husband, father, brother, uncle and friend. He was a devout catholic who believed deeply in his faith and attended mass weekly.
He was the loving husband of Katie (Caroline Rogers) Stefanski. They were married on September 21, 1959. Just short of 60 years, they were a team that overcame strenuous hurdles but remained steadfast in their love. He was her "energizer bunny". Kazmier was able to find joy in life again when his oldest grandson was born. He became a "daycare Gaghi" instantly. His spirit was rejuvenated and his love of life shined through again! He became an avid golfer, a weekly bowler, a household carpenter and a perfect yard master. His lawn was always pristine and he took great pride in his home and family. He spent many years as an ASA umpire, coached Little League baseball for his son's team and went to every event that occurred in his grandchildren's life. In 2006, Kaz and Katie were able to become "snowbirds" in their beautiful Floridian home and enjoyed the warmth of the Florida sunshine. He enjoyed in his alone time in Florida with his wife but always looked forward to returning to his family. In 2018, he became a great-grandfather and the joy of his great-granddaughter brought him much happiness in his final year. He was a true gentleman and loved his family immensely. His continual drive and desire to fight for over 35 years was a true picture of what his family meant to him.
Besides his wife, Katie, he is survived by his three children, Robin Bonanno of Waterford; Darryl Stefanski (Wendy Witt) of Stonington; Kim Stefanski (Deb Pukas) of Waterford; his three grandchildren, Christopher Bonanno, Danyelle Estey (Danny), and Jeffrey Stefanski (Nicki); a sweet, special grandaughter Lila Rose; great granddaughter Hadley Nicole; his sister-in-law Ann along with many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his three brothers Edward, Anthony and Donald.
The family will receive relatives and friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, Mar. 21, at the Thomas L. Neilan & Sons Funeral Home, 12 Ocean Avenue, New London.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11 a.m. on Friday, Mar. 22, in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 63 Old Norwich Rd. Quaker Hill. Interment will follow in St. Mary Cemetery, Jefferson Avenue, New London.
To plant a tree in memory of Kazmier Stefanski, please visit our Tribute Store.


Why Tent It When You've Got a Car?
When we arrived in New Mexico it was already dark. We pulled into a camp that looked deserted, but at every turn the headlights would illuminate pods of tents clustered together.
I was a rookie. When I started firefighting, I was unaware that I could be "called out" on two to three week excursions with pieced together hand crews from around the area. This was my first roll down to the southwest, and I was terrified.
Camping is one of my favorite pastimes, but getting my life in order to pack everything and get on the road sometimes keeps me from venturing out into the wild. I can't count the number of times I've been close to my camp spot and realized I forgot my cookstove—or worse my food. Out of necessity, sanity, and for my general well-being and health (no more uncooked spaghetti, hallelujah), I have put together a checklist for myself that has shortened my camping prep time and stress.


Mother's Day is celebrated in the United States, as well as in Canada and in many other countries of the world. Nevertheless, Mother's Day is celebrated because of a Michigan woman who decided on the second Sunday of May to celebrate a grand memento day after a situation. While his wife was in church, her son's son was drinking in the street and the shepherd could not continue the ministry. So the lady went to the chair and asked all the other mothers to join the shepherd. The grandmother's children were so proud of their mother that they decided to honor her every year and they suggested that others be the same for their mothers. As the brothers had their day's goal, the Methodist Bishops' Church encouraged and announced that all mothers would be rewarded on the second Sunday in May and then on the rest of the world. It's one of the places where Mother's Day began.
Another version of the Maternity Day is that in 1907, Anna Jaris, of West Virginia, when she decided to honor her mother with a special service. Only seven years later, the Mother's Day became a national holiday by a presidential decree.
These are just some of the possible stories of Motherhood Day, and in reality, no one knows. However, the meaning of Motherhood is clear to all of us. That is because we honor our mothers on the occasion of Maternity Day. We allow them to know how much they are valued and why they mean it in our lives. Mother's Day gifts are just a way to show the mothers why they are so unique and allow special days to get gifts and enjoy the day they are for them. If you are interested in how to make this day special for your mom and try to present some mom's day gift ideas, then think of your long and hard-core mom and what she loves. If he really loves a particular restaurant then take him there and if he really loves to make a movie, do that. Just make sure that Mother's Day is your mother and she will have a great time.
Every day, half of America eats one or more sandwiches, mostly for lunch. That computes into 300 million a day. They're easy, they're filling, no muss, no fuss. And you do not even have to know how to cook. The varieties are endless, so where do we start? The short list includes the BLT, Grilled Cheese, Club, Dagwood, French Dip, Monte Cristo, Muffuletta, Pastrami or Corned Beef on rye, PB & J, Cheesesteak, Po 'boy, Reuben, Sloppy Joe, Submarine, Fried Egg. It's endless.
The British first referred to "bits of cold meat" as a "sandwich," named after John Montagu, 4th Earl of Sandwich, who was an eighth-century aristocrat. Legend has it that he intended his servant to bring him some meat between two pieces of bread while he was playing cards with his cronies. He could probably play uninterrupted, as the bread acted as a napkin (rather than his sleeve) and kept the card table tidy. His cronies talked on and followed his lead. What was in them we'll never know, but what a beginning (the Earl will never know).
1) Elvis immortalized the fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, although there's not a big call for the.
2) Dagwood, named after comic strip Blondie's husband, stacks up fills and bread, impossible to eat except in sections, but somehow Dagwood Bumstead managed.
3) The French originated this sinful sandwich in a Parisian cafe in 1910; there is no one named Monte Cristo but simply a French term (Croque Monsieur) to describe a fried sandwich of ham and cheese, not on any weight loss program to be sure.
4) Sloppy Joe: kids grow up on these tangy and messy sandwiches. Its origin dates back to the 1930s and was created by a short order cook named Joe in Sioux City, Iowa. Originally called a "loose meat sandwich" it looks Joe added tomato sauce which cranked it up a notch; as its popularity steep, Joe wanted to get credit and renamed it after himself. Folks in Key West Florida insist it was dreamed up at a local bar called Sloppy Joe's. Some historians want to give Cuba the credit, but let's just give it to Iowa, okay?
5) Submarine: sub sandwich shops seem to multiply daily with no end in sight; Also known as hoagies, heroes or grinders in the US with a multitude of fillings, they come in foot long and smaller sizes, perfect for Sunday afternoon TV sports or a quick lunch.
8) Peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese, both beloved no-brainers. 'Nuff said.
10) Those Louisiana folk sure love their originals. The Po 'Boy is basically a sub filled with meat or fried seafood, similar to the Northeast's lobster roll.
11) Oh boy, do not ask anyone from Philadelphia about Philly cheesesteaks, because they are fanatical about them. Be prepared for a long-winded answer. The same goes for Chicago's most popular sandwich, the Italian Beef: Italian bread loaded with thinly sliced beef, topped with peppers and dripping with jus, hold the cheese; all-American French dip (in spite of its name) is a take-off, but rather bland by comparison.
12) Can not leave out those wonderful "bound" fillings: egg salad, ham salad, chicken salad and tuna salad; we corner the market on those, whether they're daintily served at teas and parties or just a big old scoop on whole wheat.
12) Pita sandwiches crammed full of turkey, cheese, avocado, hummus or falafel; a trendy ethnic take on the basics.
Sandwich sales in the US topped $ 27.7 billion and that's not counting the sandwiches made at home. Wow, that's a lotta bread, literally. Similarly, the US is not the only country that likes their sandwiches. In 2017, the pre-made sandwich industry in the UK made and sold 11 billion in US dollars, and that's not counting freshly made.
We're not even going to get started on sandwich cookies (Oreos) and ice cream sandwiches. It's too exhausting. So many sandwiches, so little time.
1) Kansas City Chiefs: OT Luke Joeckel, Texas A & M Andy Reid saw last season when things are happening when you have a lot of problems. Joeckel is one of the first-ever elections this year. He will raise Branden Albert's (free agent) transformation and can for decades promote the offense line of Kansas City. The chiefs should be a qualified quarterback, but there is no slam-dunk choice to justify the best choice.
2) Jacksonville Jaguars: De Deathon Mour, one of the most corrupted players in Texas A & M- SEC, helps Jacksonson to put pressure on the quartet. Last year Jags registered 20 sacks. Gus Bradley is a defensive midfielder and will have the priority to defend his defense.
3) Oakland Raiders: DT Star Lotulelei, Utah – The Silver & Black were black and blue, in contrast to the runners in 2012, Shake them all. Utah's Nose Collection / Defense Solution Capacity and Skills Have a Help Center: # 39; the defense line.
4) Philadelphia Eagles: OT Eric Fisher, Central Michigan-Chip Kelly, knows that his high octane attack is now going on if Eagles can not ban anyone. Fisher sees a great chef. The increase in Fisher and Jason Peters's return to health will be a long way to address Philadelphia's problems. Fisher can play on the left or right and it will depend on how Peters looks after Achilles's injury.
5) Detroit Lions. De Boerer Valleys, Florida, Lions want to be a defensive line of defense and alone. Kyle Vanden Bosch is 34 years old and Werner provides Detroit with a young, high-end defense end.
6) Cleveland Browns: DE / OLB Jarvis Jones, Georgia – The Browns is absent, and after a rapid deviation, Jones can really quit the quarter-end. Cleveland must have a dynamic outer line so that they have 3-4 defenses. Jones could be for such a player.
7) Arizona Cardinals. QB Geno Smith, West Virginia – Quarterback is the biggest need in Arizona. Bruce Arianes had success with the Indian mayor (Andrew Luck) and was looking for the same cards. For Geno Smith and Matt Barkley and Mike Gennon, she has a choice of strong hand and high performance.
8) Buffalo Bills: QB Mike Glennon, North Carolina – Ryan Fitzpatrick performs a lot of turns and does not buffoon and a long-term response to a quarterback. The Glendon will require a strong force on the cold and wind that competed in the 2nd half of the Buffalo.
9) New York Jets: DE / OLB Barkevious Mingo, LSU-Rex Ryan loves his defense, which does not have a great pass on rusher. Mingo is a terrific athlete and Ryan Figures, who can make it into the New York 3-4 scheme out of deviation.
10) Titanium titanium; OG Chance Warmack, Alabama – This might be a great thing to do with the guards, but Mike Sangak does not think his Stalin NFL career is. Titans want to run the ball, and the Warmer must be terrified.
11) San Diego Chargers – Olan Lynne Johnson, Oklahoma – The chargers should do better work in the protection of the Philippine rivers. Athletic Johnson has the ability to play left flank and develops a good protector.
12) Miami dolphins. WR Cordarrelle Patterson, Tennessee – Dolphins have to find a good lead for Ryan Tannehill. Patterson's size and running can convince Miami that he can be the player.
13) Tampa Bay Buccaneers: CB Dee Milliner, Alabama – The Bucs were the worst teams in the NFL to defend passes and undoubtedly can help in the corner. Milliner is a very talented corner with a group of championships.
14) Caroline Panders: D.T. Sharf Floyd, Florida's defensive position remains a weak spot for Caroline. Floyd is a great combination of elegance and size. Pansse expects that she will be able to stop running and apply pressure inside the penetration.
15) The Saints of New Orleans. De De Dieta Ansah, Bi – Saints should be better protected and it begins on the front. Ansah can protect the run and have a terrible opponent as a passer-by actor. Rob Ryan has a very raw but talented player.
16) St. Louis Rams. D.T. Sheldon Richardson, Missouri – Jeff Fischer is head coach and wants to have a dominant 4th front. Richardson is very fast and should work well in the previous year and in the first round with Michael Brookers.
Pittsburgh Steelers: DE / OLB Dion Jordan, Oregon – LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison are at their bottom line. It's time for the next generation of Steelers to rush away. The Jordan can really run and has an unusually high level of profitability. He will have the opportunity to continue with Pittsburgh. s storied tradition of quality out of linear backers.
18) Dalas Cowboys: DT Kawann Short, Purdue- The Cowboys are transformed into the Monte Kiffen & s 4-3 protection. This means that they will have a better defense technique for the three best techniques. The shorter takes a quick step and penetrates to penetrate.
19) New York Giants. CB Xavier Rhodes, Florida State: The Giants is the Best Corner, Corey Webster, 31 and goes out of the poor season. Rhodes has excellent size and skill. New York adds much needed angular assistance.
20) Chicago Bears. Thierry Eifert, Notre Dame-Master Tantman wants another weapon for Jay Cutler. The Bears Do not Have Most of the Receiving Threat. Eifert significantly raises the attack on the bears.
21) Cincinnati Bengals: S Kenny Vaccaro, Texas – Cincinnati must be a safe player. Vaccaro is a hard disk and can help with the transitions.
22) St. Louis Rams. WR Keenan Allen, Cal-The Rams has found a key weapon for Sam Bradford. Allen has dimensions and passes skills that Bradford is missing.
23) Minnesota Vikings: DT Jonathan Hanks, Kevin Williams of Ohio, will be ahead of the upcoming season. Hankins gives Vikes a great defense tactic that can help shut down the run.
24) Indianapolis Colts: OT DJ Fluker, Alabama-Andrew Luke has made many fun strikes at his peak. Fluker could have been the right column for Colts. His ability as a barrier block also makes a lot of quartets.
25) Seattle Sacrobe. De Soph Montgomery, LSU – Pitterol is a defensive oriented coach. Seattle really missed Chris Clamons in the Palkone's playlist. Clamson is 31 years old and is facing a long-term recovery of knee surgery. Montgomery has fast and long hands so as not to hurry. He is also a strong defender.
26) Green Bay Packers. Jonathan Cooper, North Carolina – Aaron Rogers is the NFL's best coach. The Packers must reinforce the disconnected line, which has recently caused a lot of leakage. Cooper is a tough hole and runs a block. At this stage, it is a good value in the first round.
27) Houston Texans: WR Tavon Austin, West Virginia- The Texans are still incredibly dependent on Andre Johnson's wide receiver. Ostin was born to the orchestra. Its inadequacy in the open field is electric.
28) Denver Brontsos: Kessab Desmond Trulyfant, Washington – Schptel Bailey will soon be 35 and will exhibit a cartoon with Toree Smith in the games. Trufant has donated money to play a great deal. Denver gives good protection to the younger generation.
29) New England Patriots: Central Bank of the United States of America – Johnston Banks, Mississippi Province – New England & # 39; s defense continues to work. Banks have good height and great ideas. Banks can provide victims, Rais Dowling, and failed.
30) Atlanta Falcons. De Alex Ocooper, Texas – John Abraham will soon become 35 and often suffer. Okafor plays very hard and is a complete defensive ending. He does not have the same explosion as a young Abraham, but he plays with levers and intensity.
31) San Francisco 49ers: NT John Jenkins, Georgia – 49ers have a certain age on the defensive line. Isaac Sopoaga will leave for his tenth season in autumn. Big nose will become an unlimited free agent, and San Francisco may choose a young nose. Jenkins is a great man with amazing sports skills. Jim Harbaugh will play hard to help him maximize his talents.
32) Baltimore Ravens: ILB Manti Te & # 39; O, the era of the Notre Dame-Ray Lewis is over. The Ravens will not be able to replace Lewis, but Te is a strong choice. The previous star of Notre Dame is football and improves coverage during its senior season. Baltimore is delighted that Te` & It's so far away in the first round.
The Arizona Cardinals will play their 89th season for the NFL this year, along with their 21st season in the state of Arizona. The Cardinals ended their 2007 season with a score of 8-8; far from transcendent but actually a notable improvement from 2006 where they finished last place in the NFC West with a 5-11 record. This year will be the second for head coach Ken Whisenhunt who started coaching in 2007. Though last year wasn't exactly a winning season, management was probably impressed at how quickly Whisenhunt improved the team. Whisenhunt is known for his brilliant offensive plays as well as his success in Pittsburgh serving as that team's offensive coordinator.
The team's draft picks would be an important part to predicting the season. Early on, the team was looking to fill a few key positions, including an offensive tackle, because of unimpressive results from Oliver Ross and with the loss of Leonard Davis. The linebacker was another important position, as most team members playing thus far haven't warmed up to the role. Cornerback was another position that the team had to consider going into the 2008 draft. In addition to these needs, the team felt the pressure of history, as their last four drafts have been rated as excellent and let to many quality starters and backups.
The team's draft started with Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, a cornerback from Tennessee State University. He was followed by defensive end Calais Campbell of the University of Miami, wide receiver Early Doucet from Louisiana State University and Kenny Iwebema, a defensive end from the University of Iowa. Round out the list were running back Tim Hightower from the University of Richmond, defensive end Chris Harrington from Texas A&M University and offensive tackle Brandon Keith from the University of Northern Iowa.
What was the media's reaction to Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie? Uncertain, though he was declared first-round stock potential because of his performance at the Senior Bowl. Of course, some argue that most of the receivers at the Senior Bowl we're lacking. Experts agree that if Rodgers-Cromartie is to help the team, he really needs to be developed at a fast pace. At least Rodgers-Cromartie was a popular choice-Campbell was less well received, as he doesn't seem to fit in well with Whisenhunt's defensive strategies thus far. The bottom line is that many of the team's draft choices have to be introduced quickly and developed quickly if they hope to make a difference in Arizona.
The biggest problem is that among these draft choices there are no sure-thing playmakers and that may be a risk the team cannot afford to make. Plus, they have some heavy competition this season against the St. Louis Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. It should be noted though that under the management of Ken Whisenhunt, the Cardinals have already improved their score; 8-8 may not be major league yet, but it is the team's best record since 1998. Whisenhunt obviously has a strategy in 2008 and the resurrection of the Cardinals may be starting slowly but surely.
Have you seen television videos, flood victims who are flooded with water, children swimming in floodwater, cooling, and floating debris that run down to the bottom? Floodwater contains visible and hidden dangers What are they?
1. Fast stream. Minneapolis MN, in his web site, says six-inch fast moving water can weaken your legs. Quickly moving two legs can lift the car. The presence can move faster than it is seen. Children, the elderly and the disabled are vulnerable to the rapidly moving process.
2. Toxic chemicals. Flood chemicals depend on location. In agricultural areas, water may contain animal fertilizer, fertilizer and pesticides. According to CDC, the flood may also contain battery acid. OSHA reports that flood waters can also contain petrol, toxic waste or chemicals.
Dead and live animals. The flood waters are livestock – cows, pigs, sheep, birds, and pets. Dark, messy water also contains live snakes and rats that are dangerous for humans.
4. Electrical hazards. According to OSHA, flood water may be discharged from underground or electric power lines. The victims should not return to their homes until the electricity is turned off.
6. Dangerous debris. Rainfall waters can include rail links, trees, tree branches, home-made tanks, gas boilers, furniture, baby toys / toys, even homes. These heavy fragments can cause serious injuries.
7. Infectious organisms. The US Department of Labor says the flood can include E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, HEPATITIS A Virus and Typhoid. The flood water also enriches bacteria. "Permanent water pools become muscles, which increases the risk of Western Neil virus and encephalitis," says the West Virginia University Extension Service.
Though most floods do not cause serious flare, the best is ready. These tips will help you protect the flood dangers.
* Get a tubercle shot or guardian.
* Clothing rubber covers and gloves.
* Protect your eyes with face and facial facial mask.
* Handle your hands and feet.
* Drink bottled water from safe bottling plants.
* If there is no safe water, disinfect water with five drops of water per kilometer.
* Wash containers with water, as well as whitening solution.
* Wash hands with disinfectant water and soap.
* Clean open hooks and cuts in alcohol.
* Eliminate all contaminated foods, including clogged bushes.
The best way to fight the disaster is to get ready. For more information, please visit the American Red Cross website and type "Disaster Supply Schedules."
– American Red Cross, "Disaster Supply Set"
– The American Red Cross, "Restoring Your Flood Home"
– Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), "After the Flood"
– City of Minneapolis, "Flood Safety"
– Department of Occupational Health and Health (OSHA), "Flood Cleaning"
– West Virginia University Extension Service, "How to Protect Yourself When You Fell After the Flood"
Of course, no one can be excited with another rent when he goes home. And a small amount of home checking can be a fun and disaster difference. As knowledge is a bit frustrating, it's a good idea to review your home screen before closing the deal. Do you know that some government agencies actually have a licensing test?
Though none of us could find out that some bureaucrats would address some policies during the home examination, and Gudron and Wats were quite surprised to find out that the Certified Home Inspectors International Association. "Usually, this government scores are horribly conceding InterNACHI & # 39; Online Inspector Examination. "But this trade group is not alone. You also have American home inspectors. It's a pretty big business, having its own show. It is called adequate, InspectionWorld.
Perhaps the most prestigious topic is how the regulations differ from state to state. For example, in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, and Arkansas, everyone takes certain insurance claims for home inspectors, some countries requiring errors and omissions, except for injuries or damages.
Other countries, such as California, Colorado, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dacota, Texas, Utah, Vermont, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming have no insurance claims.
If you want to learn more about home inspections, our sources recommend the "Home Inspection Complete Book of Home Inspection" published by Norman Becker and published by McGraw-Hill. Earlier we noticed or used the options than the current 2002 offer on the Internet for a great deal of dollars, for shipping and unloading – about $ 3.50. So, less than $ 5, you can know what a certified home inspector is looking for and checking in ahead.
In the United States, it is impossible to get a home without a mortgage loan certified home inspector. The usual starting price for the check is about $ 500. This is a real deal when you take into account different illnesses, your new dream house is actually hiding, invisible. Simply think, for example, dry timber thermites and / or underground thermis are invisible to leave home. Suddenly, your dream home can be the worst nightmare hidden.
If you happen to be looking for Europe, there are two separate types of verification. An unauthorized 800 euro errors and omissions insurance check is underway. A more thorough inspection, including structures that have errors and inactivity, on the Gudron line, "you can reset at the end of that report."
Recent research reveals that women who drink two or more DIET sodas a day are at a 30% higher risk of either suffering from a heart attack, or having some sort of cardiovascular "event." And that around 50% of women are more likely to die from its consumption than women who do not drink such sodas – the American Collage of Cardiology.
However, there has been no suggestion that the sodas themselves are "killers," but rather their consumption may take a part in the "make-up" for unhealthy habits – so say the experts.
Dr. Ankur Vyas (University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics) who led the study, said "Our study suggests an association between higher diet drink consumption and mortality." And, although this new information may not be new, as it has for some time been understood that the consumption of artificial sweetened drinks are not healthy (anti-weight-loss) – it is news.
Near 60,000 middle-aged women were studied over a period of nearly 10 years for food and drink habits – including diet soda and fruit juice habits (8.5% of women who regularly drank two or more diet sodas a day resolved in suffering from some form of heart disease – compared with 6.8% who drank four or less per week, and 7.2% who drank a couple a month or none).
However, the information stated that only an "association" between diet sodas and heart disease has been found for the moment, and not any "evidence" that such soft drinks are directly responsible for killing anyone (heart disease is the number one killer in the USA [such sodas are only a low-risk to causing heart disease / death – although something that is actually present]).
Other considerations also taken into account were: the women who drank most diet sodas were more likely to be over-weight, be diabetic, suffer from high-blood pressure, and smoke (all factors that provoke heart disease). Given these other considerations, it is probable that although a connection was actually made between diet sodas and heart disease / death – any results were in fact highly distributed.
According to Federal Survey Data, one in every 5-people drink dietary drinks on a daily basis – although it is a figure shown to be on the decrease.

This sketchpad looks very old, but has no date in or on it. It's thin, well preserved, and its pages are heavy, stiff stock. The pencil drawings are literal, and presumably by Jack Moore. He appears to have been a bit part actor in early movies, perhaps starting in the teens. He lists in some detail movies he had a role in, starring actors, sundry details, and production companies. I haven't researched the movies he mentions. His signature appears only once, at the end. I don't know how this journal came into my dad's possession. My guess would be through Buck Schiwetz. Buck may have known Jack Moore. Just a surmise, though. (JMN)

This image shocked me. I grew up with a large framed, black-and-white print of the scene, professionally rendered (can't remember the artist) always hanging in our house. It was labeled "The Ruse That Failed on the Left-Handed Ranger." My dad told the tale. The two men on the left conspired to kill the Texas Ranger. In greeting, one would shake his presumed gun hand while the other shot him. The left-handed Ranger drew his concealed weapon and fired first. The story must come from some lore that I didn't know existed, quite possibly a true story, that Jack Moore also knew of. Maybe it's even in a movie! (JMN)

Mount Madison, New Hampshire.
Hikers Rescued from Storm on Mt. Madison
A late-afternoon storm caught two hikers on an exposed section of the Pine Link Trail on the summit of Mt. Madison in New Hampshire the afternoon of October 7, 2013, leading to the need for a rescue, according to the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department.
Raymond Barnard, age 28, and Stephanie Watkins, 27, both of Brownsville, Vermont, were making their way across the summit of Mt. Madison when they were caught by one of the severe storms that ravaged New Hampshire's North Country. Heavy rain, propelled by winds approaching 90 mph, soaked the couple and their gear, causing them to have to take shelter amongst rocks in the trail. Dense fog reduced visibility to near nothing, and temperatures began to drop. Faced with uncertainty about the exact location of the trail and being extremely cold and wet, the couple called 911 for help at approximately 7 PM.
Conservation Officers from the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department were notified of the situation shortly after 7 PM. A rescue party consisting of two Conservation Officers and two members of the Androscoggin Valley Search and Rescue Team (AVSAR) subsequently ascended Mt. Madison via the Valley Way Trail (a distance of almost four miles) and began to search the Pine Link Trail near the Madison Springs Appalachian Mountain Club Hut.
Shortly after 1:00 AM, rescuers located Barnard and Watkins along the Pine Link Trail, approximately a quarter of a mile from Madison Springs Hut. Barnard and Watkins were found to be very cold and wet, but were able to converse with rescuers and put on dry clothing. The couple had utilized sleeping bags and a tent rain fly to protect themselves while waiting for help, an action which may have saved their lives.
Barnard and Watkins were ultimately able to walk out under their own power, following rescuers across Pine Link Trail and down the Valley Way Trail to the Appalachia Parking Lot on Route 2 in Randolph. The rescue party arrived safely at the trailhead at approximately 4:40 AM. Barnard and Watkins were very grateful for the help and thanked rescuers profusely for all that they had done.
Some aspects of this incident help emphasize the need to be prepared when venturing into New Hampshire's backcountry at this time of year. Both Barnard and Watkins described the weather that they were caught in as the worst that they had ever seen. Rain gear that functioned well under normal conditions soaked through, leading to much discomfort and an enhanced chance of becoming hypothermic. The couple was prepared for a multi-day hike with sleeping bags and a tent. These items are crucial in a prolonged exposure situation, and in this case played a major role in the outcome of the rescue.
Due to the location in the mountains, the signal from the cell phone used to make the rescue call was not strong enough for 911 to get an accurate GPS coordinate for the location of the caller. A coordinate was obtained, but showed a location miles away from where Barnard and Watkins were found. This happens frequently in the mountains, where cell coverage is often spotty at best. Barnard and Watkins had been paying attention to trail signs and landmarks, which was ultimately the best information used to find them.
With the coming of winter, groups such as the Appalachian Mountain Club (AMC) and Randolph Mountain Club (RMC) have closed up many of their backcountry shelters and reduced staff at others. At this time of year, hikers should not count on the ability to get indoors or have other resources readily available. This particular seasonal factor means that rescue response times are going to be longer and that the need for self sufficiency will be greater.
Additional tips on essential hiking gear and notes on preparation can be found at New Hampshire Fish and Game's website or at http://www.hikesafe.com.

The Honda CR-V returns in 2019 as one of Honda's best-selling models thanks to its continued affordability, reliability, and great standard safety features. This all-around family vehicle comes in four different trims: the LX, EX, EX-L, and Touring.
The base LX comes with LED daytime running lights, a multi-angle rearview camera, fold-flat 60/40 split rear seats, automatic climate control, power exterior mirrors, and 17-inch alloy wheels. The trim above the LX, the EX, gets a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine in addition to a smart entry system with walk-away auto-lock, remote start, a power moonroof, heated front seats, and a 7-inch display audio touch-screen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration. The EX is also the first CR-V trim level that gets the excellent Honda Sensing active safety bundle as standard equipment.
The next highest trim, the EX-L, receives a leather-trimmed interior, a power tailgate, power-adjustable driver's seat with memory feature, heated exterior mirrors, and an automatic dimming rear-view mirror. Finally, the Touring trim comes complete with roof rails, a hands-free power tailgate, a premium nine-speaker audio system, chrome exhaust finishers, LED headlights with an auto on/off feature, rain-sensing windshield wipers, and a Honda satellite-linked navigation system.
Honda has always prided itself on offering exceptionally safe vehicles, and that dedication continues for the 2019 model year with the expansion of the Honda Sensing driver assist technology suite. This sought-after feature, which is standard on all trim levels except the base, bundles adaptive cruise control, collision mitigation braking, road departure mitigation, and lane keeping assist. The standard passive safety features include advanced front and side airbags, three-point seat belts with automatic tensioning, the LATCH (lower anchors and tethers for children) car seat system, child-proof rear lock doors, and seat belt reminders.
The '19 CR-V offers great connectivity and infotainment features, even at the base level. The LX gets a 160-watt audio system with four speakers, a 5-inch color LCD screen, a USB port, Bluetooth HandsFreeLink, and Pandora capability. Infotainment upgrades come as the trim levels rise, with additional speakers and functions. There's a second USB port in the center console, and two 12-volt power outlets (front and center console). As far as exterior technology, the CR-V includes power side mirrors, projector-beam halogen headlights with auto-on/off, a remote-entry system, and a one-touch power moonroof with tilt feature.
The CR-V leads its class in cargo space, with 39.2 cubic feet when the back seat is occupied with passengers and 75.8 cubic feet when the rear seat is folded flat. With heated front seats and dual-zone automatic climate control standard on all but the base trim (which gets single-zone auto climate control), the front-row occupants can personalize the temperature of the vehicle.


Hey I'm wondering if there is a way to move or remove the mini-scoreboard on the left hand side of the HUD.
would love information about it.
Every HUD element can be altered using the TribesHUD.ini file found in your Content/System folder.
I am, to be honest, no genius in editing HUDs as I still use the default, out of the box HUD.
I have done a quick search inside the file and found the following. I assume that commenting those lines out, using the ;, will remove it. I would like to have confirmation of other people, though.


A massive bust on I-80 took an estimated $5 million worth of drugs off the streets.
According to a release, a Nebraska State Trooper noticed a freight liner truck and a semi-trailer driving on the shoulder near Kearney last Thursday.
Troopers searched the vehicles and discovered a false compartment in the empty trailer, inside were packages containing 73 pounds of cocaine and 44 pounds of suspected fentanyl. Felipe Minaya and Nelson Munez, both of New Jersey, were arrested on drug charges.
