Prior to the American Revolutionary War, some settlers proposed this as part of a larger, separate colony to be known as Vandalia, but opposing interests and the war intervened. Afterward, claims to the territory by both the states of Virginia and Pennsylvania had to be reconciled. After this land was assigned to Pennsylvania by the federal government according to the placement of the Mason–Dixon line, Indiana County was created on March 30, 1803, from parts of Westmoreland and Clearfield counties and was formally organized in 1806.[3]

Indiana County (Indiana meaning "land of the Indians") derives its name from the so-called "Indiana Grant of 1768" that the Iroquois Six Nations were forced to make to "suffering traders" under the Fort Stanwix Treaty of 1768. The Iroquois had controlled much of the Ohio River valley as their hunting grounds since the 17th century, and Anglo-American colonists were moving into the area and wanted to develop it. Traders arranged to force the Iroquois to grant land under the treaty in relations to losses due to Pontiac's Rebellion.[4]
Some of the grantees joined forces with the Ohio Company, forming a larger development company based on enlarging their grant of land. They proposed that the entire large area would become a new British colony, possibly to be called Pittsylvania or Vandalia. It was to be bordered on the north and west by the Ohio River, and made up of what are now parts of eastern Kentucky, northern West Virginia (then part of the Virginia Colony), and western Pennsylvania. Anglo-European colonists from Virginia and Pennsylvania had already started to move into the area, which was identified by these various names as Indiana and the other above names on some maps of the late 1700s.[5][4]
Opposition from other interest groups[6] and the American Revolutionary War intervened before Britain approved such a colony. Afterward, some United States speculators proposed setting up a state in this area to be called Vandalia, or Westsylvania, as appears on some maps of the period.
But both the states of Virginia and Pennsylvania claimed the land based on their colonial charters. In establishing the Mason–Dixon line, the federal government assigned the Indiana Grant to Pennsylvania.[5] As population increased after the war, this county was made up in 1803 of territory from Westmoreland and Clearfield counties; it was formally organized in 1806.[3]
Kentucky and West Virginia continued to be associated with Virginia for some time, being separately admitted as states in the early 19th century and during the American Civil War, respectively. The area in Pennsylvania was unrelated to and was physically separated from the later named Indiana Territory established north of the Ohio River in 1800 by the new United States; that territory was eventually admitted to the Union as the State of Indiana.
In the 21st century, Indiana County comprises the Indiana, PA Micropolitan Statistical Area. This is included in the Pittsburgh-New Castle-Weirton, PA-WV-OH Combined Statistical Area.[7] It is in the defined region of the Pittsburgh media market. Indiana County is served by three different area codes: 724, 814, and 582.
The county proclaims itself the "Christmas Tree Capital of the World", shipping over one million trees annually.[8] Agriculture is a major part of its economy.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 834 square miles (2,160 km2), of which 827 square miles (2,140 km2) is land and 7.3 square miles (19 km2) (0.9%) is water.[9] Located in the county is the Buttermilk Falls Natural Area.[10] The county has a humid continental climate which is warm-summer (Dfb) except along the Conemaugh from below Strangford and the Kiskiminetas River where it is hot-summer (Dfa). Average monthly temperatures in the borough of Indiana range from 27.2° F in January to 70.9° F in July. [1]

An Interesting Mastering Job
I just completed the steps involved in mastering and fabricating a CD and I thought that perhaps watching me go through the process could help you understand it better. And yes, a CD. Believe it or not, people still use that medium and virtually all albums are still released in the format. This project was a dual release with both CD and streaming available to the audience. Let me start out by letting you know that this was a spoken-word CD, narration over music. The client chose to do this project right: they worked with a film and video soundtrack scoring composer to provide a through-score for the project. I should 'fess up that I started on this job as the recording and mixing engineer and was then asked to master as well. Yes, yes, you should use separate mastering and mixing engineers, but I have been recording and mixing for forty years and mastering for about twenty of those years and work in an excellent control room, so filling both roles on this project isn't so much of a reach.
So, this means I was THE engineer, soup to nuts, on this job. To give you an idea of the scope of the project, I recorded the voiceover talent at the beginning. I liaised with the scoring composer in Sweden and had him send me multitrack stems so I could properly balance the score and the voice. Mixing the voice and music might seem like a snap, but we treated this like a movie or music mixing project with the goal of making the voice sit on top of the music like it was the vocal in a song. What complicates this process is that when a typical scoring mixer provides a stereo mix, he rarely can separate himself from the intentions of his music to look at the whole product and protect the voice from too much activity in the score. With a stereo music mix, activity in one instrument section can challenge the voice, forcing the whole score to be dipped. That is where the stems come in. I spec'd the stems in such a way as to separate the instruments into sections and then to further separate the sections into one stereo pair with legato chords or drones and another with the activity, pizzicato strings, staccato stabs, melody lines, etc. The stems are mixed by the composer so that if all of them are pulled up to "0" on the faders we have unity gain, and the mix matches the composer's stereo mix. To take care of grosser dynamic moves that involve the whole ensemble, I routed all the stems through a submaster group. In this way I was able to move through the mix and gently duck just the channels with musical activity that challenged the voice, leaving the pedal tones, legato chords, and such, chugging right along at a respectable level. In practice, it feels very much like conducting an orchestra.
Once the mixes were accomplished and a rough sequence was established, we printed a listen copy and sent it up the corporate ladder for the mixes to be approved, carefully including a message that the sequencing wasn't complete and please ignore the timing of the spaces between sections because they would be set later. It works like a charm: the mixes were heartily approved but there were frantic communications passed down that the spaces between the sections were all wrong and needed to be corrected. Hehehe.
With content approval complete we moved on mastering, beginning with final sequencing, and leveling. Here it would help to mention that the score for this project is truly through-scoring. The composer wrote the score to help us transition from chapter to chapter and the music continues in many of those gaps. He sometimes dropped to a pedal tone and a pad in the breaks to make my editing easy, but the music did continue between chapters. With a normal music CD, you mix the tunes and send them as individual files to the mastering house where the mastering engineer sets the overall level of the project and then adjusts the song's levels and density and the space between them so that they mesh into a single work that flows smoothly. By contrast, this project was very much like a live pop or rock music CD. With a live CD you have a continuous audience filling the gaps between the songs. You typically export the whole album as one continuous file (or two for vinyl) and then assign track start locations in the mastering software. With continuous music through this project, that is the approached I adopted. I mixed the entire CD, front to back, and exported it as a single file. Once we had a mix, I mastered for level and tonality, in this case working with -12LUFS as the density goal. Once we had a leveled product, I began adjusting transition times to finalize the sequence, tightening, or loosening, as necessary. With the sequence and levels finalized it was time to move on to CD mastering. I output a 44.1k, 16-bit copy of the complete mix. Once again, at this stage I either had to send the results up the corporate ladder for approval or have the executive producer on-site to approve the product.
Next, I moved my 103 minute, 27 second wave file into Steinberg's WaveLab Pro 10, which is an excellent professional mastering platform that allows everything to be adjusted and all the technical details for the CD to be set. Technically, most would do ALL their mastering in the software, but I have become so adjusted to my DAW, Steinberg Nuendo, that I prefer to do the spectral and level work right there. The tools are the same. So, off we go to WaveLab. This program can output either a burned CD or a "DDP" or "Disc Description Protocol" folder, a collection of files that allows the CD plant to exactly reproduce my CD mastering via replication with a glass master for long runs. My first considered action was to set the markers for the sections. Each of these markers needs to be set in such a way that a CD player's head will intercept the data stream and begin playback in a place that is as euphonic as possible. Frankly, it comes down to trial-and-error and taste. I sat with the executive producer and we chose start points that sounded nice. I burned a physical CD, and we double-checked the results on it. Over time you learn little bits of minutia such as leaving a half second at the beginning of the CD track that prevents CD players from up cutting the beginning of the CD and individual tracks and including a couple of silent seconds at the end to prevent the system from clipping the end of the track. It shouldn't have to be done, but there it is.
And then, it's the fiddly bits! The CD and each of the tracks will carry metadata so that no matter how they arrive at someone's player, the album name, artist, track title, and copyright declaration follow along. The mastering company will take this information and enter it into Nielsen's Gracenote Inc. database so that it shows up in Media Player and iTunes if the CD is played on a computer or ripped. You can also enter an ISRC code and UPC/EAN code to support retail sale. The Red Book CD Standard allows the possibility of embedding CD Text into the metadata so that a CD Text-capable player will display the artist, album, and track titles. You enter all this poop, and the program includes it in the DDP folder in the appropriate files. It is all very fiddly indeed, and there is a certain amount of legal specificity required to protect everyone's rights. I like to include the CD-text because it is a little treat for the artist when he first plays the CD. In another section, you assign the project an identity in one of the files and a contact point and phone number are provided there as well. In this case, I made the contact point myself and provided the studio number. There really aren't any technical types to handle technical questions in the client's organization, so I have the plant call me.
Once you get everything correct, you burn listen copies so that the product can be tested by those up the client's corporate ladder. When the approval copies are dispatched, the waiting game begins. At each step you have attempted to convey to the client's leadership that these steps are "gates," that the decisions are cascading ones. From each approval gate forward, if a reviewer has an objection to a characteristic that was previously approved, you will likely have to trash a bunch of work, move backwards in the decision tree, and start from a location where the desired change can logically be made. Then all the work from that point forward must be redone. Typically, because these projects are up against a deadline, capricious changes can be warded off by informing management of the time consequences a change will cause. Still, there are times when someone hasn't really been engaged in the listening process and suddenly hears something he doesn't like, way down the production path. I dislike doing the same work twice, but this is a service profession. I provide the requested service and do it cheerfully. In this case the clients handled the decision-making process logically and we sailed through.
Finally, when all approval had been given, I exported the DDP folder twice and compared the result to make sure they were identical and complete, doubled-checked the contents, and then FTP'd the folder to the fabricating plant's site. Simultaneously, the graphic artist was sending his or her files so that CD, label, and container could be printed and fabricated in one run. Once my part was done, I went home to enjoy the rest of my day.
But before plant production can ramp up, a normal checkout process must happen. Within a few days of receiving the DDP, the plant sends us check discs which have been generated by creating the glass master and fabricating a short run. This is an actual production disc. I review my copy on a designated CD player that I have used to review check discs for years. It has become the standard. If the CD works, as in plays through and allows proper accessing of the tracks, I send out a report and the fabrication begins.
And what project is completely without an abnormal but hilarious circumstance: A couple of hours after I went home, I started receiving a barrage of frantic texts, phone calls, and emails from my client. The plant had contacted them and informed them that they were missing the data they needed to fill out the Gracenote form. My client(s) frantically contacted me. I got a clue right off the bat that something wasn't right because the IDENT.TXT file within the DDP contains half of this information and lists ME as the contact point. They had not contacted me. Think on.
Nevertheless, I rushed back to work and checked things out. Yes, the data were all there and the project identity files (including me as contact point) were present in the DDP. So, I called up the plant manager and asked about the problem. He wasn't sure what was wrong, so I asked to talk with the process technician who had generated the error message. Within a few seconds I was speaking with the guy responsible for the fabrication of this CD. He said that the Gracenote data wasn't available in my folder. I asked if he had checked the files for that info because the data points were all there. He said no, but that he preferred to have all the data in a readily accessible text file. He told me the data he needed, and I agreed to immediately export a text report containing all the metadata and FTP it to him, pronto. We got off the phone and I created the file and sent it. There is an option in the WaveLab software to export this info in a nicely formatted HTML file, but I just typed up a text file per his request. I called the technician back in ten minutes and asked him to quickly load and check my text file. He was delighted that I had gotten back to him so soon and loaded and approved the information. I sent a calming email to all concerned showing the steps I had taken and the people I had contacted. All the participants up and down the corporate ladder were pleased, and the process was able to go forward. Voile'!
I expect the check disc to arrive Monday and we will review it. In the decade I have been working with this plant I have only had one faulty check disc so I expect the production run will begin sometime next week. Meanwhile, I formatted and exported the audio files for the streaming release at 48k and 16 bit. I delivered them to the producer who will oversee posting them online for streaming. Lord willing, all I have left to do on this project is to approve the plant's check disc.
So there you go: Soup to nuts on a CD production experience.

Mike Pence saw secret propaganda in Disney film
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence (R), Donald Trump's newly introduced running mate, is so extreme in his culture-war views that it's hard to know where to start. His outrageous anti-LGBT views? His radical opposition to reproductive rights? The Republican's rejection of climate science and evolution?
Perhaps the easiest way to capture Pence's views on social issues is to consider this BuzzFeed report.
When Donald Trump's running mate Mike Pence was a talk radio show host in Indiana, he wrote an op-ed declaring the film Mulan was an attempt by some "mischievous liberal" at Disney to influence the debate over women in the military.
The 1999 op-ed ran on a website for Pence's radio program that was uncovered by BuzzFeed News.
"Despite her delicate features and voice, Disney expects us to believe that Mulan's ingenuity and courage were enough to carry her to military success on an equal basis with her cloddish cohorts," Pence wrote. "Obviously, this is Walt Disney's attempt to add childhood expectation to the cultural debate over the role of women in the military."
Pence added at the time, "I suspect that some mischievous liberal at Disney assumes that Mulan's story will cause a quiet change in the next generation's attitude about women in combat and they just might be right."
The moral of the film, he argued, is that women serving in the military is a "bad idea."
Regular readers may recall that this subject has long been an area of interest. It simply amazes me how often conservatives "uncover" secret themes and political messages in children's entertainment – each of which appears a little silly.
It wasn't too long ago, for example, that Fox News' Eric Bolling was pretty worked up about the Muppets. Soon after, Lou Dobbs was deeply troubled by a movie about a Dr. Seuss character called The Lorax.
A prominent religious-right figure was convinced Frozen was a demonic device intended to "indoctrinate my 5-year-old to be a lesbian."
Going back a little further, Jerry Falwell famously went after Tinky Winky the Teletubby. Conservative groups went after Shrek and Shark Tale. James Dobson launched a broadside against SpongeBob SquarePants, while Fox News' Neil Cavuto perceived Happy Feet as political propaganda.
In other words, Mike Pence has a lot of company. The difference, however, is that none of these other critics of kids' entertainment are candidates for national office.

Apple has confirmed that it forgo this year's Apple Expo in Paris. Meanwhile, more details of the company's 3G iPhone commercial shoots are surfacing. And Monday's .Mac outage has added to speculation that a re-branded service may be imminent.
Apple has made it official that it will not attend September's Apple Expo in Paris via a statement published by the French-language Mac Plus.
"Year after year, Apple reduces its participation in trade shows because there often exists better means of getting in contact with our clients," the company said. "The growing popularity of the apple.com website permits us to directly touch over 100 million clients around the world in innovative ways."
The statement confirms a report published Monday by French Mac news site Mac Generation, which noted that original plans for conference called for Apple to occupy the two largest floor exhibits. In recent days, however, all mention of the electronics maker was removed from the floor plan.
Apple Expo has historically been held in September, which conflicts with a relatively new practice on Apple's part of holding its own stateside media events around the same time. Over the past three years, the company has used those events to usher in its holiday consumer electronics offerings (2005, 2006, 2007).
Apple Expo 2008 will go on without Apple, running September 17 - 20.
ValleyWag is running with a first-hand account from Apple's recent commercial shoot out in Los Angeles, which is interesting in that it corroborates several of the specifics first published by AppleInsider on Friday.
Among those details were that Apple built a full-scale replica of an Apple retail store interior for the shoot and that all non-essentials were forced to vacate the set when the product of honor was brought out.
In its report, however, ValleyWag adds that the set took two days to construct on the same Warner Bros. lot lot used to film the movie "The Perfect Storm." It added that film from the shoot will be shown off during Steve Jobs' opening keynote address at next week's Worldwide Developers Conference.
In speaking to AppleInsider, one person familiar with the filming claims that one of the scenes portrayed two CIA-type individuals trekking through the halls of a high tech building carrying an aluminum case. After a series of mundane corridors, they arrive at an Apple Store Genius Bar where they open to case to reveal the "product."
Given that Apple may have filmed several scenes on the LA set, there is no guarantee that any one particular scene will see the light of day, though the account is being published for the sake of interest and discussion.
Update: One producer and AppleInsider reader doubts the accuracy of ValleyWag's report in regards to the location of Apple's Los Angeles filming. He notes that the Warner Bros. stage used to film "The Perfect Storm" is actually stage 16, which is a massive water stage with a permanent hydraulic gimbal positioned in the center of the floor.
"There is no reason Apple would need all of that space and even if they did I'm not sure why they would need a floodable water stage with a huge gimbal in the middle of it, which makes rental time on that stage much more expensive than other dry stages at Warner Brothers Burbank," he writes.
Warner Bros. Production Stages; Stages 19 & 20 pictured.
On its own website, Warner Bros. says: "Stage 16, one of the tallest stages in the world, was raised foot by foot in 1935 to its current height of 98 feet (65 feet to the permanents) for a Marion Davies/Clark Gable film titled Cain and Mabel. Since that time, Stage 16 has been the home of memorable scenes: the features My Fair Lady , Camelot , The Music Man , The Old Man and The Sea , The Great Race , PT 109 , Key Largo , Ghostbusters , Jurassic Park , The Perfect Storm and Ocean's 13 to name just a few."
However, portions of the "Perfect Storm" were also filmed on a secondary stage, Stage 26, which could be the stage ValleyWag's sources were referring to, not the film's primary stage (16).
Apple's .Mac mail service dropped offline around 5:30pm Eastern time on Monday and did not return until about 6 hours later. This sparked a flurry of reader submissions filled with speculation that Apple may have been conducting tests associated with the much rumored rebranding of the service, which could potentially be announced as early as next week.
The online service has long been criticized for its lack of compelling features and high subscription fees. During last year's D5 All Things Digital conference, .Mac was singled out as a poor example of an Internet collaboration tool, an opinion shared by Steve Jobs.
"I couldn't agree more [with the assessment]," Jobs confessed. "And we'll make up for lost time in the near future."
It was more like 12 hours for me. My outage started at noon.
.mac mail is the only mail service able to generate excitement from its unbelievably long outages.
The new commercial sounds incredible! The fact they had to "clear all non-essentials from the set" before they brought out the secret product blows me away; this is the most excited I've been since January 9th, 2007. It's all going to be answered come monday, just you wait.
My predictions for WWDC 08 are an updated iPhone to complement the new hardware, an updated and probably rebranded .mac (maybe as the "one more thing"), and - the only non-obvious prediction - some kind of update/upgrade to apple TV to allow games and whatnot. That's probably wishful thinking (actually it definitely is), but I wanted something there to break away from the obvious and generally-accepted predictions.
Also, we can be fairly certain that nothing will happen with  the iPod touch or the MacBooks, seeing as they just went up on the site in the new back-to-school promotion,  the MBPs or iMacs seeing as they were just updated, but past those they might all be fair game for something completely unexpected.
One would assume Apple has a lab to test things without causing a deliberate outage. However an imminent launch may be stretching staff and resources thin and made an accident more likely and harder to recover from quickly. For example, pure speculation, if they've loaded the new service on what would otherwise be a backup server farm, the backup server farm is unavailable to mitigate an outage on the primary. Also employees are busy on the new thing.
The odds of iFacebook are slim, but I would love if they gave Facebook a companion application built into OS X, or an application that makes all your social networking sites accessible without opening a browser. Sort of like the flickr uploadr, only the Facebook upload...book?
The two CIA guys open up the briefcase containing the super secret high tech device at the genius bar.
The two guys turn around and every person in the Apple store is using the device or has one.
Who cares about 3G besides people in the city? Edge works just fine out here in Eastern Tennessee.
What I'm counting on is updated Cinema Displays. It's been 426 days since a revision!
I'm guessing the commercial just involves them carrying the briefcase various places before bringing it on stage to Steve so he can open it. He's not going to let some film steal his glory.
Of course not. He is going to show the commercial after he announces the device.
And even if they didn't have a lab, they certainly wouldn't be taking a production email system offline deliberately during those hours. They would do it between 1 - 5 AM on a Sunday or something when it's unlikely anyone would be on. And I would like to think any planned outages would be announced ahead of time.
So no, sorry, but this was just another example of poor service for .Mac users. I've had an issue with contact syncing, and their response was along the lines of, "we are aware some users are having this problem, we hope to rectify it, but don't expect to hear from us again." So apparently they won't even let me know if/when the problem is fixed?? Pretty weak.
If anything, I take THAT is an indicator of an upgraded .Mac just around the corner. Perhaps they aren't really trying to fix the problem with the current system becuase an all new servcie is coming out soon.
I think the commercial will feature the CIA types taking the case to various Apple stores around the world, opening them in front of the people at the genius bars, and only their reactions are shown, not the product. Finally at the end the phone will be shown and they will make some statement or there will be a tag line about the world wide availability of the iPhone, its new speed, and GPS. Makes sense with all of the non-US markets they have contracts with providers in now.
Of course it will be shown after Steve announces it. "now i'd like to show you the great commercial we've filmed for the new iPhone"
damned if webmail didn't work though. Via iPhone no less.
Its funny you mention it. I have had the same problem with the contacts not syncing for quiet some time now and the answer I get is we are aware of this, we are working on it, but we can't tell you when it will be fixed. When pressured that they are not providing me with the service that I paid for they threaten to cancel my account. That is more than just weak.
I think that the "CIA-looking-guys" are just that - CIA guys. They simply gurad the 3G iPhone... Thoug I don't doubt that the commercial will be totally differen tthan previous ones, mainly due to the bigshot director. CAN'T WAIT!!!
Yesterday's outage was the first .Mac outage that effected me in over three years. That's a way better uptime rate than gmail, or the Blackberry outages that seem to happen every five or six months.
You hear a lot of complaints about outages, synching problems, etc. But you seldom hear from people who are happily using their service every day with no issues at all. .Mac is actually very reliable, compared to many other services out there. How many times has Twitter gone down in the last few months?
I agree... .mac is so reliable, that when it's down, people's first reactions are NOT, "oh, it's broken", but rather, "they must be upgrading it!"
Two CIA agents walk in and say " We gotta have one of your iphones cause what we are using is CHIT . " and the employee says " Yea , I know."


Last month I taught the Grocery Bag as a class for the first time and it was really fun! Everyone had a good time and everyone went home with a finished bag.
So I'm teaching the class again this month. It is on Saturday November 15th from 2:00 - 5:00 PM at Donna & Toots on SE Division.
It's a small class, a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon, and you'll have time to finish a bag (or maybe even two).


I have been involved with CrossFit since 2008 when a friend, introduced me to it. I have been involved in athletics my entire life. CrossFit challenged me and helped me realize my full potential as an athlete. Furthermore, the level of camaraderie found in the CrossFit community is not found in any other sport with which I have been involved. As a lifelong athlete, I have competed in and organized a variety of sporting events myself including martial arts tournaments, marathons, adventure races and lifting events. I hold a First Degree Black Belt in American Kenpo Karate and I spent almost eight years on active duty in the military proudly serving our Country. I am a Christian. I am also a dedicated husband and father. I love my family and I love my God. I respect other faiths and I have friends from all walks of life and of many different faiths because I believe in caring about others and in celebrating our differences while finding common ground. I believe it is with these values and high moral standards that this facility will maintain not only a high standard of training but high moral and ethical standards as well. Eleni and I, our coaches and our members, all demonstrate dignity and show respect towards everyone who enters our facility. We are a very welcoming place.

Arrow films scenes for episode 205 Minor & Notable Spoilers involving the Lance Family.
THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS MINOR & MAJOR SPOILERS FOR "ARROW" EPISODE 205. If you do not want to know anything prior to the episode airing, do not read the article or view the photos below.
A couple months ago I photographed "The Black Canary" on set. At the time, I had no clue who it was. As it turned out, it was the stunt double for the recently cast new Sarah Lance (who btw looks NOTHING like Jacqueline Macinnes Wood.. the original Sarah Lance), Caity Lotz.
Finally, on a late end of August night, I saw Caity Lotz in person filming... and what a scene I stumbled onto. On this particular night, I managed to find Ms. Lotz filming scenes with Paul Blackthorne (Quentin Lance, Sarahs father). The scene? Sarah lets her father know shes alive!
It took place on a quiet street in the Downtown Eastside mere feet from where I saw Supernatural filming scenes a few weeks earlier. This time, as Starling City. A scene for episode 205 titled "League Of Assassins" the scene has Quentin walking to his car, seeming pleased with himself over something, till he realizes someones coming up behind him. He slyly slides his gun out & quickly turns around, gun drawn & points it at the person. As the mysterious person comes from the dark street into view, the shocked Quentin Lance sees a face that he cant & immediately, doesn't believe. Its his daughter, Sarah. She motions to him & closes in on him, eventually getting close enough to put her hand on his gun & push his hand down. After Quentin accepts who it is, a large emotion filled hug takes place between the two, and you can hear Quentin mutter "your mother was right".
A little later, another set of scenes was done. This time, Caity was off for the rest of the night. It was now Felicty Smoak doing scenes with Quentin Lance, as Emily Bett Rickards showed up to film scenes. Emily & Paul did scenes where Felicity stands on a street corner waiting for Quentin to return home from a shift. As he approaches, she rushes up to him & eagerly tries to get his attention about a matter that she says has his life in jeopardy. I couldn't hear all the details, but she brings up Malcolm Merlyn in the conversation. It ends with Quentin closing the door on Ms. Smoak & her speaking at him thru the door "so I guess you aren't leaving town?". What can the mysterious trouble for Quentin be?
I saw some details for their next day of work, and I can say... its either confusing me to no end, or really interesting how they are playing it. All I will say is, it includes Oliver & Sarah at the Queen Mansion being attacked by... someone (not gonna say who) & the scene takes place prior to the scene where Sarah talks to her dad photographed below.
Apologies to anyone who feels ripped off that these FREE photos are sometimes grainy/blurry. I do this with a $500 camera, not a $5000 camera remember.
Arrow returns on The CW for season 2, October 9, 2013.
Arrow films scenes last month for season 2 with Colton Haynes & Bex Taylor-Klaus
THIS POST CONTAINS MILD SPOILERS FOR A SEASON 2 EPISODE. If you do not wish to read or view any spoilers prior to the airing of the season, please do not continue.
In a rare event, I found the Arrow set & no Stephen Amell on set. Seriously, this is actually possible.
On this particular day, I found Colton Haynes (aka - Roy Harper ) doing scenes with someone I was very familiar with from her great job doing a previous role on another Vancouver show "The Killing", Bex Taylor-Klaus.
Till that day, it was a mystery who Bex was going to play. I had known for several days she was here, but didn't know what role, or frankly, till the day before, even what show the 19 year old rising star was here for. But after she was photographed by several people on set that day, The CW decided to confirm Bex was on the show, to play the character of SIN...which I'm happy with, as I said, I have already seen what she brings to the table acting wise. But some whiny fanboys on tumblr got their panties in a knot over this because apparently Sin is supposed be Asian. Well, I don't recall there being something that stated they had to cast the role for the show the way comic books portrayed them. Honestly, if their life is so ruined because of who got cast in a T.V. show for a character that most casual fans are unfamiliar with or barely know, then they really need to re-assess their lives.
Funny random moment of this day was when I went up to get Bex to sign some photos & she instantly recognized me from when she saw me around for "The Killing". When I asked her she instantly said "your Canadagraphs?" & I told her yes & that it was nice to finally meet (since the 1st two times I saw her I didn't even know her name yet). Colton took photos with a few fans & Bex even offered to be the photographer for these encounters.
The scenes I saw show were of Roy seemingly chasing after, or running along with Sin thru the streets of Starling City. Later on I saw Roy doing more scenes where it looked like he was delivering something somewhere...but couldn't see enough of it to know for sure.
On the lunch break, the other unit for the show came over to the food trucks for their meals & I saw David Ramsey, Caity Lotz & Emily Bett Rickards there briefly before they jetted away back to their other location.
There will be more Arrow photos from other sets throughout the season. For now, enjoy these & if you want to see other sets from this season & last year, check out the rest of my blog posts here
I give you Roy Harper & Sin.......
BTS video of Arrow star David Ramsey shooting a scene with a grenade launcher for a season 1 episode
Here is some exclusive video of John Diggle (aka - David Ramsey) on set last season filming the scene for episode 11 of season 1 "Trust But Verify" where he shoots a grenade at some henchmen.
I intended to post this sooner, just sort of got buried under a few things & then forgotten.
Just a little something to hold you ARROW fans over till I can post some new, fresh material.

HomeLuxury1931 Spirit
1931 Spirit
Editor August 14, 2016
Louis Erard reintroduces the small second just months after revisiting the original a first time, it returns with yet another interpretation. The 1931 spirit remains intact; the innovation lies with the dials, though without straying from the original design. This time the dial is black, grey or blue in head-to-toe monochrome.
Twelve rounded Arabic numerals set the tempo for silvered hands, driven by an automatic caliber whose oscillating weight comes decorated for the occasion. Then as now, sobriety is the key. One frivolous touch in the small seconds, offsets at 9 o'clock in the subdial. Despite its vintage lineage, these small seconds are very much part of the moment. Only 500 of the black iteration will be made, each individually numbered and delivered in a unique presentation box with a Montegrappa pen.
The watch features a Vintage small second mechanical automatic movement, Sellita SW-290 caliber with decorated oscillating weight. The watch has a 40 mm stainless steel case and is water-resistant to 50 meters.
Louis Erard sets time in motion. At the heart of this process to capture the mechanics of time is the movement. Revisited, personalized, even exclusive, it is the crux of each of its creations. We feel it, wind it, and set it beating. More than a machine, it is the soul of the watch.
With a particular fondness for regulators, the Watchmaker returns to complications, finding new ways to express each one. Power Reserve Regulators, Chrono Moon Phases and other sophisticated Chronos benefit from the virtuoso's care and attention, and from made-to-measure modules which it develops in Le Noirmont. These feats of technique bring dazzling proof of Louis Erard's talent and enable the brand to express itself as a Manufacture, for eight years already.
These instruments of time are part of the Excellence flagship collection, which superbly illustrates this interpretation of complications by Louis Erard in a unity of style whose exclusive, authentic elegance embodies the delicate pairing of tradition and modernity. And, through mechanical emancipation, indicates unfailing admiration for traditional watchmaking, which prospered in the Swiss Jura and continues to confirm its renown thanks to creators who dare to be themselves.

Fortunately, this was a fairly uneventful weekend, but it certainly won't always be that way (as most of you can attest). In fact, the next time you bump into Sewanee's finest, try to offer them your sincerest condolences and thanks instead of like, I don't know, throwing beer bottles at them. The police really do a lot for the Sewanee community and get far too much abuse for doing it, so if you can't make their job any easier, at least don't make it any harder than it has to be.
As always, if you witness a crime, need to report an emergency or have any information regarding ongoing investigations, don't hesitate to stop by the police station or call Sewanee extension 1111.

Travis Scott Says 'AstroWorld' Album "Might Be The Best Music" He Made
"I have two records on the album that are like, man, they are the best."

Travis Scott recently linked up with British GQ Magazine as part of GQ Style's cover feature. In the segment, he spoke on his infamous "fall" on stage with Drake in London, his forthcoming album AstroWorld, his pop collaborations, his hometown of Houston, and more. Check out highlights from the interview below and head here for more on the Spring/Summer 2017 issue of GQ Style, which releases today.
On "falling" on stage
"I didn't fall, dude, I flew. I was floating. I don't fall. Shit, nothing happened. Floating is amazing. It's like getting in a plane. I just flew, man. I'm a magician, like David Blaine. I could never fall. Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He's a big brother, super-talent, he's cool."
On whether there's a strategy behind his pop collaborations
"Nah, I wouldn't make music with you if I didn't know you. If you're a good artist and if you know it as well, I'm down. So I don't look at it as pop. I also look at the artist, for their voice or influence, their style of music. I don't see it as pop."
On the city of Houston:
"I feel like Houston is one of the leading things in music culture. Everyone loves the Houston culture. It needs to have its own monument, its own moment for artists like me, artists like Beyoncé who set it off. Beyoncé is like the highest level. We all reach for that level"
On his upcoming album, AstroWorld
"The next record is called AstroWorld. It might be the best music that I made. I have two records on the album that are like, man, they are the best. They tore down AstroWorld to build more apartment space. That's what it's going to sound like, like taking an amusement park away from kids. We want it back. We want the building back. That's why I'm doing it. It took the fun out of the city."

Very nice. She has a good eye. I hope she gets that 40D out from time to time and applies her eye to photography. It would be nice to see more of her PoV!
Do they teach it at school by any chance?
The high school my kids went to have a very good teacher and her classes were very popular. She teaches with film cameras, including developing and printing, which the kids really like learning. It teaches a parsimony with shutter clicks, and a concentration on in-camera composition and exposure control which serves well later. Probably the distance from family influence is a good thing at that age too!
Wow, those r awesome , she did a great job !!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Val, greatly appreciated!
Terrific shoes! Your daughter is so talented! I love the whole outfit. Great pictures of your daughter.
Which photo-a-day facebook page do you participate in?
Thank you, I'll pass the comment on to her when she wakes (hahaha, it is summer holidays here…that could be anytime)! 🙂 If you can believe this, I had to bribe her to smile by telling her I would post the image to one of the Dr. Who fan pages on Facebook! Sigh, perhaps in a few years she will want to model for me without bribes!!!


The objective of this Group is to formulate a new Education Policy for the country through an inclusive, participatory and holistic approach. The National Policy on Education was framed in 1986 and modified in 1992. Since then several changes have taken place that calls for a revision of the Policy. The Government of India would like to bring out a National Education Policy to meet the changing dynamics of the population's requirement with regards to quality education, innovation and research, aiming to make India a knowledge superpower by equipping its students with the necessary skills and knowledge and to eliminate the shortage of manpower in science, technology, academics and industry. For this purpose, 33 themes have been identified for discussions under this Group. The themes are divided separately for the School Education (13 themes) and Higher Education (20 themes) sectors. The group consists of Tasks and Discussions. Tasks are both online and on-ground. Discussions enable participants to share their thoughts and ideas.

The Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserves (CHAP) Colonial Water Bird Nest Monitoring Program is a cooperative effort between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserves and J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) offices. Staff from CHAP and Ding Darling NWR conduct monthly nesting bird surveys within the Ding Darling NWR Complex, and the Matlacha Pass, Pine Island Sound, Gasparilla Sound-Charlotte Harbor, Cape Haze and Lemon Bay aquatic preserves. Currently, 34 islands are monitored, and the data collected is analyzed and submitted to the South Florida Water Management District for publication in its annual South Florida Wading Bird Report. The data reported is the peak nesting effort for each island and avian species. The report is used to follow trends in wading and diving bird activity and to estimate the number of nesting wading and diving birds in Florida.
Wading birds are an important indicator species for the health of the estuaries since they feed at such a high trophic level. Their indicator species status and dramatic decline since the 1930s makes their protection a necessity. Surveying and documenting trends in wading bird populations will help document their status and biodiversity in the Charlotte Harbor Aquatic Preserves.
Each island is surveyed once a month during the nesting season, starting in February, and continuing until the island is no longer active. Using a primary and secondary observer, direct counts of nesting pairs or nests on the islands are documented. Islands are circled slowly by boat, and individual nests are recorded according to species and nesting stage.
The program also ensures that the islands are protected so they can provide suitable habitat for nesting activity to occur. This includes conducting cleanups on the islands to remove trash and fishing line once the islands are no longer active to prevent entanglement. All bird fatalities observed are documented and entered into the Florida Fish and Wildlife Bird Mortality database.
Please keep a distance of at least 300 feet from active rookery islands, and do not leave fishing line or debris in the mangroves or islands. If you see an injured or entangled bird, please call the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission at 1-888-404-3922.
If you would like additional information on the CHAP Colonial Water Bird Nest Monitoring Program, please call 941-575-5861.

We enjoyed Ramsey's first Christmas in California this year. On Christmas Eve we drove Fresno's 'Christmas Tree Lane'- which is the city's most popular Christmas light display. It's a residential area decorated with MILLIONS of Christmas lights. Ramsey Kate semi-enjoyed the lights, but of course the car seat was a no go. On Christmas Day, we Face-Timed our families back in Georgia and opened gifts. Our parents actually shipped our gifts to us for us to open, which I think is the sweetest thing ever. It was definitely different not being with our families, but we made the best out of the situation. We spent the day playing with all of Ramsey's new loot and finished our Harry Potter marathon. FUN FACT: I'd never finished the Harry Potter movies until now! I hadn't seen the last few, but I have to say SO GOOD!
