Legend: Judy Garland

This month marks Judy Garland's 100th birthday. Born performing, Garland transitioned from vaudeville to motion pictures at the age of thirteen. She earned two Oscar nominations – Best Actress for 1954's A Star Is Born and Best Supporting Actress for 1961's Judgment at Nuremberg – and was the first woman to receive the Album of the Year Grammy for 1961's Judy at Carnegie Hall. In 1962, Garland became the first female recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, a lifetime achievement award presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (the organization that hosts the Golden Globes). The American Film Institute (AFI) ranked her eighth on its list of the greatest actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age. Garland was a legend, an icon, a once-in-a-generation talent. She also spent her life haunted by the demons that would ultimately take her life.
Garland was born Frances Ethel Gumm in Grand Rapids, Minnesota on June 10, 1922. Her parents were vaudevillians who settled in Grand Rapids to purchase a movie theater they used to stage their vaudeville act. Garland's two older sisters, Mary Jane "Suzanne" and Dorothy Virginia "Jimmie", were already part of the family business, which Frances – then known as "Baby" – joined at the age of two. In 1926, the Gumm family relocated to Lancaster, California, north of Los Angeles; they had dreams of stardom for their daughters. After too many snickers and mispronunciations, the Gumm Sisters eventually became the Garland Sisters (the exact origin of the name is still up for debate); Frances chose the first name Judy in honor of the song by Hoagy Carmichael, the Tin Pan Alley artist best known for writing "Stardust". But the Garland Sisters broke up in 1935 when Suzanne eloped to Reno.
In September 1935, Louis B. Mayer sent a scout to see Judy perform; Judy was brought to the studio and signed on the spot. The studio wasn't really sure what to do with her; she had a wholesome, girl-next-door look that contrasted with the glamorous stars of the time period, and at thirteen Judy was older than the typical child star but not yet ready for adult roles. She was ultimately paired with Andy Rooney in movies like the Andy Hardy series (in which she literally played the girl next door) and Busby Berkeley's Babes in Arms. Over a two-year period, Garland co-starred in six films. Garland later claimed that she, Rooney, and other young stars were prescribed amphetamines to help them maintain that breakneck pace, as well as barbiturates to help them sleep at night. This combination began an ultimately lethal cycle of addiction for Garland.
Babes in Arms
For the record, Rooney denied Garland's allegations, but they sure sound plausible to me. MGM had absolute control over Garland; they monitored her weight and oversaw her diet and exercise regimen. They forced her to wear removable caps on her teeth and rubberized discs to change the shape of her nose (what the everloving fuck?). Mayer referred to Garland as "my little hunchback". Men in power, who are committed to breaking a woman down, will generally stop at nothing to accomplish that objective. Certainly having a doctor on staff to pass out pills would be within the realm of possibilities. Perhaps Rooney wasn't aware, perhaps he lied; either way, I believe her.
At sixteen, Garland got her biggest break to date: the starring role of Dorothy Gale in The Wizard of Oz. Garland wasn't MGM's first choice; the studio wanted to borrow Shirley Temple, but 20th Century Fox declined to loan her out. Deanna Durbin was unavailable. The role then went to Garland, who was actually the producers' favorite from the beginning. It's impossible to imagine anyone else as Dorothy. Garland's rendition of "Over the Rainbow", which went on to win the Academy Award for Best Original Song, is heartbreaking and goosebump-inducing. It is, quite simply, one of the most iconic musical performances in the history of cinema. As a matter of fact, the song tops AFI's 100 Years…100 Songs list (fun fact: Garland and Gene Kelly are tied – with five each – for most appearances on that list). The Wizard of Oz made Garland a star; for her performance, she was awarded the honorary Academy Juvenile Award at the 12th Academy Awards.
Garland made the transition to adult roles in the early forties and starred in a string of successful musicals, including For Me and My Gal, The Harvey Girls, and Meet Me in St. Louis. The latter film (more on it in a bit) introduced Garland to her second husband, Vincente Minnelli. The two of them would make four more films together – and have a daughter, Liza – before divorcing in 1951. By that time, Garland's film career had stalled; her attempt to segue into dramatic roles was not well-received and her struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues had made her unreliable.
1942's For Me and My Gal was Gene Kelly's film debut, and his first of several collaborations with Garland
Back to Meet Me in St. Louis, which chronicles a year in the life of the Smith family as they prepare for the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair. Once again, a song performed by Garland – this time "The Trolley Song" – was nominated for a Best Original Song Oscar. Even more significantly, one of the era's most enduring and iconic Christmas songs – "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" – was written for the film. Meet Me in St. Louis is sumptuous, with eye-popping colors and an Academy Award-nominated song score. It was the second-highest-grossing picture of 1944, behind eventual Best Picture Oscar winner Going My Way. It was chosen as the tenth-best movie musical of all time by the AFI. You can – and should – stream Meet Me in St. Louis on HBO Max.
Meet Me in St. Louis made the most of the burgeoning technology known as Technicolor. One of the film's four Oscar nominations was for Best Cinematography, Color, and deservedly so; it's just so gorgeous to look at!
Some of the original lyrics to "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" were deemed too downbeat and the song was rewritten before filming began. Songwriter Hugh Martin initially resisted making any changes, but ultimately agreed. The line "It may be your last / Next year we may all be living in the past" became "Let your heart be light / Next year all our troubles will be out of sight."
In 1948, while filming The Pirate with Gene Kelly, Garland suffered a nervous breakdown. She was missing a lot of days due to a combination of substance abuse and migraines. She was able to finish the shoot, but in July, Garland made cuts to her wrists with a piece of broken glass. She was still taking barbiturates and had also developed an alcohol addiction. Garland was suspended from The Barkleys of Broadway after missing too many days (Ginger Rogers took over the role), but she was able to bounce back with 1949's In the Good Old Summertime. She was fired again in May of 1949, this time from the film adaptation of Annie Get Your Gun. For several pictures, Garland repeated this cycle until MGM finally had enough, suspending her contract in the middle of shooting Royal Wedding with Fred Astaire and replacing her with Jane Powell.
WIth Gene Kelly in The Pirate
In the Good Old Summertime
Garland's final film for MGM was 1950's Summer Stock
Following the termination of her MGM contract – and another suicide attempt – Garland became a frequent guest on The Bing Crosby – Chesterfield Show (ah, the good old days of cigarette sponsorship). Her appearances on the radio show were wildly popular and Garland parlayed that into a successful concert tour of the UK in 1951. By 1953, Garland was remarried (to impresario Sid Luft) with another baby (Lorna) – and ready to mount her movie comeback. The project she chose, George Cukor's remake of 1937's A Star Is Born, was a commercial and critical success and earned Garland her first competitive Oscar nomination. But the financial reward she was looking for failed to materialize. Production delays (often caused by Garland herself, who was back to missing days due to her migraines and substance abuse) caused the film's budget to balloon to more than $5 million, and A Star Is Born failed to turn a profit. Garland's film comeback was over before it began.
Once again, Garland performed a song nominated for the Best Orginal Song Oscar; "The Man That Got Away", with music by Harold Arlen and lyrics by Ira Gershwin. lost to "Three Coins in the Fountain"
Despite all the production woes, Garland was nominated for Best Actress at the 27th Academy Awards (the film itself earned five additional nominations). She was widely expected to win, and NBC had a camera crew waiting in her hospital room – where she'd just given birth to her son Joey – to record her acceptance speech. When Grace Kelly unexpectedly won for The Country Girl, the crew had their equipment packed up before Kelly even reached the podium.
Her film career stalled once again, Garland turned to television and concert appearances to pay the bills, including the premiere episode of CBS's Ford Star Jubilee and a brief residency at the New Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas. A 1961 concert appearance at Carnegie Hall yielded a highly successful live double album, Judy at Carnegie Hall, which spent thirteen weeks at the top of the Billboard chart and won four Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year.
That same year, Judy made her final major film appearance in Stanley Kramer's Judgment at Nuremberg, which was a critical and box office smash. For her performance as Irene Hoffman, a reluctant witness for the prosecution, Garland was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the 34th Academy Awards. She lost to Rita Moreno for her portrayal of Anita in West Side Story, a decision I cannot argue with.
Garland's last major project was a series of specials for CBS that culminated in 1963's The Judy Garland Show. The musical variety series had a devoted following but couldn't compete in the ratings with NBC's Bonanza and CBS canceled it after one season. A tour of Australia ended badly. Garland was plagued by money issues; her agents had mismanaged – and outright embezzled – her earnings. At one point, she owed about $500,000 to the IRS, which placed liens on her home and her recording contract with Capitol Records. She was forced to sell her home at a loss. She was fired from one final movie, 1967's The Valley of the Dolls. She completed a 27-show stint at New York's Palace Theatre that same year, but the IRS seized most of her $200,000 earnings. And she continued to abuse prescription drugs. On June 22, 1969, Garland was found dead in the bathroom of her rented London home. Her death was ruled an accidental overdose; the autopsy results showed that her blood contained the equivalent of almost 1000 milligrams of the barbiturate Seconal. She left behind a bankrupt estate, three grieving children, and a legacy that has endured for one hundred years.

Tyskland bestod fram till 1871 av en mängd självständiga oberoende stater av skiftande storlek och styrelseskick. Striderna mellan länderna var många. En stor orsak var religionsskiljaktigheter som bland annat resulterade i trettioåriga kriget på 1600-talet. En annan orsak var skiftande allianser med grannstaterna, främst Frankrike.

Efter Napoleonkrigen förenades de tyska staterna 1815 i Tyska förbundet med Österrike som dominerande makt. Nationalismen spred sig under 1800-talet i Europa och så även i de tyska staterna. Idéer om ett enat tyskt rike började ta form och två konkurrerande modeller utvecklades. En kallades Grossdeutschland ("Stortyskland") och inkluderade det multietniska kejsarriket Österrike-Ungern. Det andra, kallat Kleindeutschland ("Lilltyskland"), skulle exkludera Österrike, domineras av Preussen och få en klart tysk befolkningsmajoritet. Genom en längre framskriden industrialisering och den tyska tullföreningen (Zollverein), där Österrike inte ingick på grund av sin protektionistiska hållning, kom Preussen alltmer att dominera Tyskland ekonomiskt och infrastrukturellt. Efter Preussens seger mot Österrike i det tyska enhetskriget 1866 vann den lilltyska lösningen; Preussen tog den dominerande rollen i Tyskland och kunde, då man var på väg att segra i det fransk-tyska kriget, utropa det tyska riket i Versailles den 18 januari 1871. Kungen av Preussen blev kejsare av Tyskland.

In time of need, Calen Addison fits right in at wing
In 5-2 win over Arizona Coyotes, Addison didn't look out place when out of place.
By Matthew D. Smith@fromtapetotape Dec 1, 2021, 6:45pm CST
Share All sharing options for: In time of need, Calen Addison fits right in at wing
David Berding-USA TODAY Sports
It isn't rare; switching a defenseman to forward or vice versa, but the position switch rarely works despite the Minnesota Wild having one of the more successful swaps in hockey history with Brent Burns. That transition may have been a matter of playstyle, but in Tuesday's game against the Arizona Coyotes, we saw another high-profile Wild prospect make a move, this time from defenseman to forward. But unlike the Burns situation, it was a matter of necessity.
Frederick Gaudreau missed his first game of the season. The reason? COVID protocol.
Head coach Dean Evason and his staff didn't find out until partway through the morning skate on gameday. After pulling him from practice immediately — sparing him a difficult skate at the hands of assistant coach Darby Hendrickson — coaching staff and management were left with what to do with the empty spot on their bench and lineup. Call up someone from the Iowa Wild? Play seven defensemen and hand out some double-duties for the forwards?
"We debated what we were going to do, play seven defensemen? Try [Calen Addison] at forward?" Evason recounted his thought process during his postgame interview. "Ultimately, our decision was that our six defensemen were playing really well. We didn't want to disrupt that, the rotation of them playing. We felt [Addison] is an intelligent player that skates well and has great skill; why can't he play right wing?"
Addison has been stuck between a rock and a hard place for most of the season. Too good for the AHL — with six points in 10 games — and not good enough to justify the risk of disrupting a well-functioning defensive group for the Wild. Addison has played in 10 of the Iowa Wild's 15 games while getting into the lineup for just three Minnesota Wild games, including the win against the Coyotes.
As a defenceman, he's been impressive for the Wild. In the two games he has played, the Wild have outshot the competition 41-17 at even-strength and holding a 73.5 xGF% according to NaturalStatTrick.com. Only one goal scored, offset by one goal scored against them, all in a minuscule 27 minutes of ice time so take the success with a grain of salt. But his success and skill are irrefutable, and it made Evason want to take the risk of playing him at forward.
"[Assistant GM] Chris O'Hearn came in and asked if we wanted to call a guy up," Evason explained. "We said nope. We would like to play him. He's here. He's competed. He's battled. He's been practicing every day. He got rewarded for doing all the right things off the ice."
Addison thought it was a clerical error when he saw the lineup. "I just showed up and my name was listed as third-line right wing. I didn't know if I was gonna be the seventh D, and it was just written up that way. They said, "We changed our plans, and you're gonna go forward."
Surely, with the way kids play youth hockey, he has at least experienced playing forward at some level?
"Never been called a winger ever. I mean, maybe for a game when I was super, super young. Never liked it all." Addison had no complaints though, saying that he "kind of enjoyed it today, not gonna lie."
In just 13:46 of ice time, including 3:40 of powerplay time, Addison fit right in. He didn't produce much with only one shot, but he did lead the team in hits with four in total. Playing alongside mostly Kevin Fiala and Victor Rask, Addison felt prepared to play forward, even without much preparation.
"They showed me a couple of clips of a couple of situations in different zones of the ice," Addison explained. "They said don't think about it too much; you're a skilled hockey player, you're smart. Just do what you do out there and try not to think too much. The guys I was playing with make it a lot easier."
At the end of the night, Addison managed to fit in nicely on the ice. Will the exposure as a forward change the way he plays the game? Addison doesn't seem to think so;
"Whether I'm [defenseman] or forward, the way I play isn't really going to change, to be honest with you. I'm still going to play intense, still going to work hard, still going to make plays with the puck, and I'm still going to defend hard."

Visit & Stay
Wimborne St Giles is part of the Knowlton Circle Group of Parishes, which also includes Cranborne, Boveridge, Edmondsham, Woodlands, Gussage All Saints and Gussage St Michael.
The Rector of St Giles (and the Quintet Group) is The Reverend Robert Simpson. You can contact him by telephone: 01725 517232 or email: rector@kcb.org.uk
The St Giles Churchwardens are Caroline Barnes, 01725 551258 and Martyn Cubitt, 01202 828797
The pattern of services is currently being reviewed but there is a service each Sunday at St Giles. Call the rector or one of the wardens for the exact details. St Giles traditionally offers an Anglican High Mass on the first Sunday of each month which is attended by many visitors and all are welcome.
Please also visit the Benefice website for more details and for times of services: www.dorsetquintet.org.uk/stgiles
St. Giles' Church, which has Grade 1 Listed status, is situated in the middle of the village of Wimborne St Giles, facing the village green and school and adjoining a row of early 17C Almshouses. The church has a fine organ and a resident organist. It is open every day to visitors.
The present building was constructed in 1732 on the site of the earlier mediaeval church and was designed by the Bastard Brothers, architects of Blandford. Records indicate a church here in 1291. The Bastard Brothers' Church was in Early Georgian style, well constructed in greensand and flint.
The church was somewhat remodelled by the 7th Earl of Shaftesbury in 1852 and further changed in the fashion of the Gothic Revival by Harriet, wife of the 8th Earl, who in 1887 used GF Bodley as her architect. Between 1908 and 1910, following a catastrophic fire, the building was enlarged and remodelled by the great Gothic Revival Architect Sir John Ninian Comper, who supported the Oxford Movement..
The Church is now regarded as one of Comper's seminal projects and the test bed for his "Harmony by Inclusion" concept. Given a free hand by the 9th Earl of Shaftesbury Comper attended to every aspect of detail, including the incorporation of the four fine windows in the North wall which were recycled from the hall at Oriel College Oxford.
Bells at St Giles
The tower was endowed with six bells before the fire of 1908. These were cast from the bells in the two demolished mediaeval churches of All Hallows and St Giles. These in turn were lost when the bell frame gave way in the fire. Six new bells were cast as part of the restoration and two more were added in 1926 to give a peal of eight, now in a steel frame. There is an active team between St Giles and Cranborne towers and both are frequently visited by touring teams.
Works and Projects
We run a continuous programme of maintenance and repair to this Grade 1 Listed building and its contents. Recently a new toilet and store have been added adjacent to Church Lodge and a sound system installed in the church including a hearing loop. At the moment significant items in hand are:
Replacing the slates on the South roof and renewing the rainwater gutters and downpipes on the North wall.
Restoration of a number of the fine Shaftesbury memorials in the church.
If you would like to know more about this work (or contribute towards its cost) please contact the Churchwardens or email mcubitt.wsg8@btinternet.com
TheKnowlton Circle Group of Parishes, of which Wimborne St Giles Church is a part, takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.

It is true though that having natural fence isn't a fest solution. You have to be patient before the plants will become big enough to start giving you all great hedge advantages but I am sure you will find it worth the wait. Natural fence will serve you better and lest longer than for example wooden one.
Think about what is the most important thing to you about the fence in order to take a good decision on which plant to choose.
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing type of grass and is extremely low maintenance. Some varieties can grow incredible high, up to 50 feet so it can serve as an efficient and also good-looking fence. Some bamboo types are very invasive, so be careful which one to choose You can also plant it in a containers to keep it under control.
Privet can serve as an effective and very affordable fence. It's important to consider your needs and space before you decide which type you will choose. Some plants can grow to ten feet or beyond if not regularly pruned. Privet is a relatively fast-grower. When given proper care, it will be between two and three feet higher every year.
Evergreen Boxwood can be an excellent choices for a hedge. When you let the plant grow freely, it can sometimes reach twenty feet in hight. Boxwood is often sculpted into some interesting shapes but it's also beautiful when it is not maintained very strictly. It looks nice even when it is smaller.
Arborvitae is not the fastest growing plant but this attractive evergreen tree can make really effective dense fence. It is one of the most popular plants used for borders because it is easy to maintain, it tolerates almost all soil conditions and it can withstand cold.
Photinia is often used as a fence. This beautiful evergreen plant with shiny leaves offers nice, sufficient coverage. You should regularly prune Photinia if you want it to stay healthy and keep thriving. It can also grow very tall. Normally it has thorny branches so be careful if you have kids.
Cypress trees grow tall and narrow and that is one of the reasons why they make very elegant and attractive fence. This low maintenance evergreen has quite a rapid growth rate around 3.5 feet per year. One of the most popular types is Leyland Cypress but it has rather short lifespan.
Skip Laurel plants are extremely durable. They can thrive even in very difficult garden environments and that is the main reason why they are so commonly grown as natural fences. Skip Laurel can grow to 10 feet. When planted into a well-drained soil in a location where there is a lot of sun they will produce beautiful white blooms in spring.
Holly is very adaptable to a wide range of a growing conditions. It will grow in tropics and also in temperate zones. Holly plant is a great choice when you want to deter wandering wildlife. Although the plant looks gorgeous it is not that pleasant to touch because of its pointed leaves. You will admire red berries in the fall and winter and white flowers in the spring.
Euonymus can be a nice evergreen hedging shrub. It is easy to grow and it comes in many varieties. You will find it in different sizes and colours from green to gold. Eunonymus can tolerate even poor soils and all kind of weather so it can be a really good choice for almost anybody.
Juniper is a hardy evergreen with needle-like leaves. It varies in size and shape but some types can grow up to forty feet. It can also live for up to two hundred years. Green flowers will develop into a purple, berry-like cones that are commonly used for flavouring gin.

CGI and Augemented Reality for Real Estate
Choose >:Home/Photographers in Orange County and Los Angeles/CGI and Augemented Reality for Real Estate
Real Estate is a vertical market which has benefited from the information explosion, and we are at the point when the marketing brochure for a commercial property is ready years before the building itself. Case in point is Dubai where any number of Hi-Rise developments are being sold on TV worldwide via 3D walk through animations. For the ultimate in realism though we have to turn to Hollywood and the kind of pixel magic that you see in multi-million dollar movies, such as a development in Las Vegas that VRset produced a series of "photographs" and a private showing video presentation for.
This kind of presentation is not virtual reality but "Augmented Reality" and you will not see this technology used for real estate, we shot the empty land behind Belagio aboard a helicopter as if the building was there, we framed the shots to include the non-existing building, while in the air we shot both hi resolution still photos called back plates and video as the helicopter was arcing around the property.
As you imagine a lot of planning and coordination goes into this type of production, and nothing is left to chance. We can not say oops here, and come back to re-shoot this scene. Camera pilots are a different breed, they are like aerial DP's (director of photography) and know how to move the ship around so it points at the focus of the shot without a lot of sweat from the camera man.
Once these plates are color corrected and processed VRset received the CAD files of the property from the architect, these files were then translated to 3D friendly form so we could "skin" them, meaning color each facet and apply properties such as glass or steel etc.
Now with the 3D building ready, using Hollywood wizardry VRset placed the building precisely onto the land using geo-data, and this is all good to create the high resolution "photographs" but for the moving video shot inside the helicopter we need another step where we have to move the building in sync with the helicopter back plate which has bumps, yaw, skew, shake, in every axis.
Rocket science stuff, meaning we are reverse engineering what was going on in the real camera up in the air as it was filming the land to a set of data which can drive the 3D software camera and tell it how to shoot the building frame by frame to match every frame of the back plate video.
Once the two images are composited you have the augmented reality shot of viewing the building from the helicopter as if you are seeing it from the passenger seat.
VRset has an extensive portfolio of luxury real estate in Orange County and Los Angeles.

Faren Miller reviews Black Mad Wheel by Josh Malerman
October 31, 2017 October 26, 2017 locusmag 0 Comments Faren Miller
Black Mad Wheel, Josh Malerman (HarperCollins Ecco 978-0-06-225968-4, $26.99, 292pp, hc) May 2017.
The alternating plotlines of Josh Malerman's Black Mad Wheel both use the present tense and focus on a man named Philip Tonka. We first see him as a badly injured, yet not completely amnesiac patient in a midwestern hospital, someone who still "remembers every detail of the desert" where he was nearly pulverized, yet can't explain what broke most of his bones. In a book where few chapters extend beyond ten pages (and many are shorter), the even-numbered ones look back a little way and set a context. In 1957 Detroit, Philip is the main force behind a four-man band that started out playing for troops in WWII but went on to become early rockers: performing in bars, having one hit song, struggling for new inspiration when the action starts, as an army man comes to Detroit with a tape he wants the band to hear – not a song, but a "sound."
That's where reality goes off the rails. Listening to it play on a record studio speaker, Philip struggles with nausea and tries to describe what feels like "more of a flood than a reverberation," or "something coming toward him…. As if the air it travels upon is scorched, rendered black, leaving a trail as wide as the studio, and maybe the entire city beyond the studio walls." While platoons have failed to find the source, somewhere in Africa's Namib Desert, the US military knows it's strong enough to disable nuclear weapons. The fate of the world could depend on solving this mystery.
Back at the hospital, from the viewpoint of a nurse, we learn that Philip arrived "in an anomalous condition" (like most patients at Macy Mercy) but woke from a coma after six months. Now his lips and eyelids move. His skin's mottled with bruises, an "endless spread of purple and orange, mud brown and yellow" caused by massive internal breakage. Yet as nurse Ellen stares, he stares back… and all the fingertips of one hand twitch.
When Philip and his band The Danes accept the army's offer, they travel to the Namib ("the world's oldest desert") with a military historian, a photographer, and a demoted general who's legendary in army training camps: fierce, obsessive, maybe crazy. Though the hospital scenes shift between the outlook of patient and nurse, they introduce another military fanatic, Dr. Szands. Almost as soon as Philip can respond to anything, he's subjected to the doctor's interrogation. Most of chapter nine's four pages consist of rapid-fire Q&A (punctuated by the ringing of a bell), where one exchange – "You saw a ghost in the desert?"; "I saw a hundred ghosts in the desert" – is followed by implicit threat: "[T]he longer you play dumb, the longer I'll have to simmer. And you don't know me well enough to know where that might lead." (Near mid-book, we see Szands in action.)
Despite the conjured shades of fighting men from many eras, and resonance with all warfare, this is a dark fable of the Cold War, where the great threat is nuclear. In the hospital, Philip proclaims himself "radioactive"; in the desert, the very word Nuclear enters his mind "foul-green and oozing, as though the syllables themselves are infected, toxic and capable of creating the terrifying vision of the mushroom cloud." In a hidden place where his thoughts echo until they gain bizarre intensity, the musician's professional ear finds both magnificence and horror: a jumble of hallucination and creation that might ultimately look beyond poisonous doom.
Pared to an eloquent minimum of text, driven by the force of shared fears, Black Mad Wheel gives faces (and voices) to the cycle of human history – at a crucial point where it just didn't grind to a halt.
Faren C. Miller, Contributing Editor, worked full-time for Locus from 1981 to 2000, when she pulled up stakes and moved to Prescott, Arizona (a "mile-high city" not as widely known as that one in Colorado) with the man she subsequently married, Kerry Hanscom. She continues to review SF, fantasy, and horror — enjoying, analyzing, then forgetting all the details on a regular basis — and hopes to keep doing it for many years to come. Author of one fantasy, The Illusionists (Warner 1991), she is working on another which she's confident will be finished before the next millennium rolls around.

"The only print publication I subscribe to is Locus Magazine. It's indispensable for keeping up with SF. Plus mind-expanding criticism/interviews!"


So I decided to put the two ideas together and this little beauty was born! I AM IN LOVE!!! Here she is…my first Coins quilt. I followed AmandaJeans tutorial on the Moda BakeShop pretty closely…except, I used three charm packs because I wanted mine to be a little bigger. Its roughly twin size. So, grab your charm packs and get started. This one really is a breeze!


The updated version of the product enables the audit of all files stored on a USB device connected to a PC. The system makes shadow copies of files and checks them against all security policies. Such an approach permits the more accurate identification of risk groups of employees. For example, you can find out about radical views of employees, their addictions or unreasonable storing of company's secrets on a personal flash drive.
It was difficult to detect the connection of a token to a PC before: the system could identify a device as a USB or smart-card. Aa a result, you had to combine several security rules for different device types in order to allow or block a device. Now, the system accurately detects the connection of tokens and allows managing access to them with a single rule. The system has become more flexible.
The enhanced system can not only detect the connection of a phone to a computer but can also detect the device: Android, Apple iOS, BlackBerry Palm and Windows Phone. It permits information security departments to apply more flexible security settings. For example, they can grant access to corporate Apple devices with inbuilt security system but block personal Android devices of employees who can pose threat.
The Keylogger agent settings feature the capability to disable interception of passwords that users enter in the authorization system windows. By default, the interception is on.
A new report Summary of user displays information about processes/sites launched/visited by a user during each 24 hours, as well as time spent in/on them. You can optionally view a table with detailed information about the sequence of launched processes and visited sites during the day, as well as the duration of activity in/on each of them.
Starting Microsoft Word, a user works with a particular document. By the title of this process, SearchInform DLP tracks activity of a user and duration of activity. Data in the report can be limited by a time period, specified users, as well as a list of processes/sites with the specified title.
The feature is used when creating policies to detect sending of files to the personal email or email of competitors. Incidents on the match of internal corporate email are not generated. For example, an email was sent from [email protected] to several email addresses among which there is [email protected]. So, an incident will be generated on the match of "ivanov" in the address of sender and recipient.
After the update, the process of configuration of security policies became even simpler. Now, you can configure, reconfigure and disable parameters (check schedule, recipients of notifications and used lists of notification) centrally for all policies and search criteria.
A new view mode of incidents allows seeing details in the native format of the source document (tables, background, font, highlight and other elements are displayed). When a SearchInform DLP administrator has several different alerts on one incident, native mode allows switching to the source document and clarifying details.
Before the update, the system was distributing rights by users. Now, the solution employs a different model: a unique role with preset access rights is created after which it is assigned to particular uses. By default, the system has preset roles Admin (full access), Viewer (only viewing). Each new security auditor is assigned the Viewer role that can be changed if necessary. You can select a few roles.
There was added a feature of building a content route for data that has FileHash attribute (supported only in SearchServer 4.*). The system provides a clear picture of transmission of documents, identifies sender and recipient, as well communication channels used to transmit data. The feature levels up the investigation process and allows the IS department to quickly track dissemination of information.
To simplify the operation, the system displays file system structure for data received with the help of shadow copying from USB.
The Text input method attribute allows searching in the contents of the clipboard by criteria: typing, copying to the clipboard or pasting from the clipboard.


Florida Vacation Part 1 – I am in my head.
I can't believe that it is almost back to school time. We have had a wonderful summer so far and just recently returned back from Florida this past week. We did not have any family vacations scheduled, so we took the opportunity to tack on some time to our trip to Florida for our nephew/cousin's Baptism.
Before I get into the trip, I want to stress that fact that travel with both kids is extremely enjoyable. I am sure it has to do with age and the amount that we have exposed them to travel, but it really is no sweat anymore. I don't live in fear of the dreaded tantrum because Ryan can communicate now and I explain everything to him. We read a book on the plane, did Mad Libs, and did a crossword puzzle. It was awesome.
When I mentioned this to Ryan, he had this to say: HAPPY TO GO ON TRIPS. TOO LOVING TOTALLY ALL OF OUR ADVENTURES. LIKE TO TRAVEL. BECAUSE TOO WILLING TO DO IT, CAN WE TRAVEL MORE?
I told him that we are at the mercy of our finances and we will try and travel whenever we can. I then asked him about waiting in the security line (he did awesome and it is not even an issue) and waiting to get off of the plane.
LIKE TO TAKE TRIPS SO I DEAL WITH IT.
Randy, the kids, and I used to live in St. Petersburg, Florida prior to our move to California (and then of course Texas). Ryan and Grace are both huge fans of the beach, so we flew into Tampa and stayed in Downtown St. Petersburg. Once we got there, our room was not yet ready, but I planned ahead. We had swimsuits and towels packed in a separate bag so we changed in the hotel lobby restrooms and off we went to the beach!
I wish that I could have captured the pure joy on Ryan's face when he was in the ocean. It is hard for him to make eye contact, but boy does he do it in the ocean! He was loving the water and swimming and the sand. We stayed from 3-5pm and we had a lot of fun. I was only able to capture one picture because we were having so much fun!
Here is what Ryan had to say about the beach: THE BEACH IS MY FAVORITE PLACE EVER. CARING TO THINK I AM MEANT FOR THE OCEAN. MOSTLY GOOD TO SWIM ALWAYS. CARING TO VACATION THERE AGAIN SOON.
The next day, we planned to meet our great friends at their home to swim, fish, and go out on their boat. Chris and Christine Oman are absolutely amazing people who used to be our neighbors when we lived in St. Petersburg. They have 2 kids, Adelaide (she is Ryan's age and will be 11 this month) and Cole (who is a year older than Grace). Christine and I used to walk almost everyday with Adelaide and Ryan, side by side in strollers. The two toddlers used to hold hands from their strollers and they would share snacks.
The kids and Randy enjoyed the pool and when Chris got home from work, the kids fished. Grace caught a stingray! She set the bar really high with her first time fishing!
Cole, Grace, Adelaide, and the stingray!
We ate grilled burgers and veggies and fruit and then went out on the boat.
Actually, first, Grace went tubing with Adelaide and Cole!
And then, Ryan asked: CAN I GO TUBING? He wanted to go, so brave Mom (that's me) got on too and we went tubing!
We spent the entire day with the Oman Family and it was like we had never left six years ago.
We talked and reminisced and looked at pictures. Ryan interviewed Chris about his job. Chris is a Project Manager in Construction and Ryan said: LOVE LEARNING ABOUT THE INDUSTRY. Christine and I told Ryan that he loved construction vehicles when he was a toddler! We explained that he had a lot of construction books and that he would point and approximate something like, "What's this?" and we would tell him the correct construction vehicle. If we were wrong (whether by accident or on purpose) he would not move off of the vehicle until we told him the correct name of it. Ryan then said: LOVE HEARING THESE STORIES.
We had dessert. And then it was time to go.
Before we left, Ryan used his letter board to say: TONIGHT WILL ALWAYS BE A GREAT MEMORY.
When I sat down to write this post, I asked Ryan's thoughts about the day. IT IS NO SURPRISE WHY YOU ARE BEST FRIENDS WITH CHRISTINE. MOST AWESOME TIME WAS HAD. TUBING TOTALLY AMAZING. ALREADY MISS ALL OF THE OMANS. CHRIS GOT ME RIGHT AWAY. HE IS GOOD AND SO KIND. REALLY LOVE THEM. BOUND TO BE MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE VACATION. TOO LIKING TO SEE THEM AGAIN SOON.
The next morning, we got up and went to one of our favorite restaurants in the area, Kojak's, where we used to take the kids when they were young. We told Ryan the story about how we had gone there with Grandma Chris, Aunt Sam, and Uncle Doug one time and we sat at the same table that we were seated at. Ryan was about a year old at the time and Uncle Doug said to Ryan, "Ryan, where is the fan?" Ryan looked up at the fan in the restaurant and Uncle Doug said, "He's a genius!" Ryan then began laughing and it was a running joke that any time Uncle Doug visited, he would call out "Genius!" and Ryan would laugh. I reinforced again him how we all knew that he was smart back then.
We drove over to Orlando and got there in the afternoon. We met at Aunt Sue's house and we got to see Aunt Sue, Uncle Ralph, Bobby, Uncle Doug, Uncle Dan, Uncle Dave, Grandma Chris, Aunt Sam, and we met Aunt Sam's boyfriend, Jeff. Jeff is a New Jersey State Trooper. Everyone in our family calls him Mr. Jeff now because one of Ryan's cousins started the nickname. Ryan wanted to interview him and Mr. Jeff agreed. Ryan took a seat at the dining room table and Mr. Jeff joined him. On the table, there were a few snacks and a leftover donut box from Wawa.
Ryan starts off: HAVE A FITTING IDEA. CALLING IT BOUND TO LIKE DONUTS IF YOU ARE A COP.
Everyone in the room started laughing! I have no idea where Ryan gets this stuff (actually probably from Randy)! Well, Ryan and Mr. Jeff had a donut while conducting the interview.
Ryan and Mr. Jeff, enjoying their donuts.
Ryan's thoughts on the interview: MR. JEFF IS TOO AWESOME. HE PUTS HIS LIFE IN DANGER DAILY. TOO MUCH RESPECT FOR HIM. MOSTLY LIKE TO SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIM.
We moved the party to Uncle Dave and Aunt Sophia's house. We had hot dogs and hamburgers and hung out. The best part was that we got to meet Nate, who is Ryan and Grace's cousin, who was to be Baptized the following day! Nate was being passed around and I asked Ryan if he wanted to try and hold Nate and he said MEANINGFUL TO DO THAT. Well, Ryan was very happy to do this and he did great. He said I BELIEVE NATE IS AWESOME. REALLY PROUD OF MYSELF. HE IS JUST TOO CUTE AND FUN. THANKS FOR HELPING ME TO HOLD HIM.
So that is the end of Part 1 of our vacation. Please stay tuned for Part 2 which includes the Baptism, our trip to Disney (thank you to all of you who reacted, commented, and shared Ryan's video of meeting Mickey! Who knew that almost 200,000 people would view it?!) , and meeting up with old friends.
I am in tears. I love you ALL so much!! It was wonderful being with you.
Denise, you are so kind to say that! Since leaving St. Petersburg, we haven't yet found the same sense of community that we had in our neighborhood in Florida. We have had some good neighbors who became friends, but not like it was in St. Pete. We certainly miss that. I hope that you guys are doing well and thanks so much for reaching out.
I love the beach Ryan it makes me so relaxed. Glad you had fun. Hope to see you soon.

Carolina Theater
Originally constructed as the Montgomery Theatre in 1924, the historic Carolina Theater is incorporated into the 10-story office tower known as the Montgomery Building. Located in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the building was designed by the Boston architectural & engineering firm Lockwood, Greene & Company. The office building and the Montgomery Theatre were named for the Montgomery family. The site of the Montgomery Building was originally the residence of Captain John H. Montgomery, whose family was a textile leader in the South. His three sons – Victor, Walter, and Ben – received the property from the estate of their father and transferred the property's title to the Montgomery Building, Inc., thus the building was named. The Montgomery Building is an excellent example of a Chicago skeletal frame construction skyscraper and features Italian Renaissance Revival detailing throughout.
At the time, modern office building space was still scarce in Spartanburg and the town was experiencing a new growth era. The Montgomery Building was home to many of the offices for textile companies, cotton brokers, and factories. The building was also home to Spartanburg's first radio station, WSPA as well as the Montgomery Theatre. The Montgomery Building was the tallest building in the city until the 1950s. Lockwood, Greene & Co. also owned 1/7 of the total shares in the building and was a tenant from 1924 until 1966.
The elaborate Montgomery Theatre opened on October 16, 1925, to very little fanfare. The Montgomery featured an interior box office, chandeliers, and three levels of seating to include over 1,300 seats. The second-story stage boxes look out over a 36-foot wide proscenium stage with a trap door and orchestra pit. The two-story lobby area includes an original wrought iron railing on the second floor and the slightly arched ceiling features an ornate metal grill in the center.
Until the arrival of sound features, the theater offered almost nightly plays, musicals with music by Gershwin, Kern, Friml, and others – as well as frequent performances from Keith Vaudeville from New York. In 1926, the Montgomery installed both Vitaphone and Movietone sound to show the new Vitaphone shorts and newsreels with sound. There was little stir around the venue until 1928 when the Jazz Singer played for a week. Two years later, in 1930, Greta Garbo talked in Anne Christie and a new era had begun. However, throughout the Great Depression years, vaudeville and hour-long revues continued onstage weekly. The theater organ, organ chambers, and associated wiring and air duct lines were incorporated into the design since the theater was intended to be equipped with an organ, but one was never installed. A white grand piano was used in its place.
In 1932, Wilby-Kinsey Theaters took over management and the name was changed to the Carolina Theater. The interior box office was closed and an ornate box office was placed at the Church Street entrance. As the Carolina, it was operated by Paramount's Publix Theatre chain and once described as "The Finest Theatre in South Carolina." In February of 1940, the Carolina Theater hosted a week-long engagement of the film Gone with the Wind. The film reached Spartanburg two months after its Atlanta premiere. It was a major event, and Spartanburg High School allowed students to leave early to attend the 2:00 PM matinees. The price of admission was 75 cents.

New seating was added in 1941. In 1956, Elvis Presley performed on stage at the Carolina Theater to a packed house. Not long after, a wide rectangular screen was installed on the stage, putting an end to live performances. Although the Carolina Theater went through another renovation in the 1970s, but was unable to maintain a steady customer base and soon after permanently closed its doors. The theater space has sat abandoned for almost 50 years now. Preservationists, historians, and locals believe the theater could once again be restored and serve as an asset to the city.
The Montgomery Building remained a popular address until the 1980s. As the textile industry floundered, offices were closed and tenants vacated the building. One of the last remaining tenants, WSPA, housed some of its offices and a satellite broadcasting studio in the building until the early 2000s. In 2007, the Montgomery Building was set to be renovated with new office space and housing until the project stalled and the owner defaulted on the loan. Once the building went into foreclosure, the remaining tenants were forced to vacate. Later that year, the property was purchased by Florida-based Cypress Lending for $1.9 million. By 2009, Cypress had consulted with city leaders on what to do with the space and enlisted a developer and a local builder to create drawings. The Montgomery Building and the Carolina Theater were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.
Property records show that BF Spartanburg bought the building from Cypress Lending Group for $680,000. In 2018, the Montgomery Building underwent a $30 million renovation. However, the Carolina Theater was not part of the renovation. Many had hoped the theater would be renovated since it is the only historic movie theater remaining in Spartanburg. Instead, the developers donated the theater space to Preservation South Carolina, a nonprofit group. The group established the Spartanburg Preservation Fund as a revolving preservation fund to identify, purchase, stabilize, maintain, market, and/or sell historic properties in Spartanburg County. The fund is used to pay for easements on the Carolina Theater to protect its historical significance before it is turned over to a new owner.

The lobby of the Carolina Theater today.
The two-story lobby area retains the original wrought iron railing on the second floor.
In the early 20th century, a series of theater fires resulted in public safety concerns and potentially lost profits. In response, theaters began to install asbestos curtains which were heavy fire-resistant curtains that could help isolate a fire to the stage, should one occur. This small precaution was a big improvement to theater safety and it also communicated to the audience that they would be safe if a fire broke out.
The original 35mm-film projectors remain inside the upstairs projection room.

Elizabeth A. Camp says:
I lived in Spartenburg, SC from 1975 until 1982 during the years my two sons were in high school. We bought a home in Boiling Springs, SC and lived there several years. Both my sons Rick Grainger and Steve Grainger graduated from Boiling Springs high school and both went to USCS. My son Steve Grainger graduated from USCS. I was never aware that this theater was in Spartanburg. I hope someone does restore it. It must have been beautiful in it's day.
Tim neely says:
I bought a two sided Woden sign that hold movie posters with chasing lights around it I was told it was on the Carolina Theather at on time
Bob Trogdon says:
I graduated SHS in 1959. Bob Talbot either owned or managed the Carolina Theater. He and his wife, Pearl were good friends of my mom and dad. Their son Bob Jr ended up with the Detroit newspaper as a local happenings commentator. Bob gave dad tickets to a lot of movies which we enjoyed and appreciated.
Great memories!

Year in review: Top sports stories of 2019
Steele Haugen
Dominant Culver wrestling team, Ellsbury cut by Yankees, Bike Trails, Trap shooters, all top 2019 stories.
1. The Culver wrestling program under the helm of J.D. Alley won its 12th state title in 13 years.
Make it 12 state titles in 13 years for the Culver wrestling squad and coach J.D. Alley.
The Bulldogs had three state champions and one runner-up in 2019. Lane Downing won his first state title last season as a junior. The 138-pound wrestler pinned his opponent in the second round.
Cylus Hoke (190) became a two-time state champion pinning his challenger at the 3:15 mark. Hoke finished his senior season with a 39-5 overall record.
Lorenzo Vasquez became one of Culver's most decorated wrestlers during his career as a Bulldog. Vasquez not only became a four-time state champion at the 2A level, joining Miguel Baltazar (2005-2008) and Jared Kasch (2010-2013) as the only Bulldogs to accomplish this, but also became a back-to-back Reser Tournament of Champions first place finisher.
Vasquez also won outstanding wrestler of the tournament, which is given to one wrestler in all classifications at all levels. Hoke and Vasquez played a vital role in last year's wrestling success and are both currently wrestling at Southern Oregon University.
Culver scored 136 points at the 2A State Wrestling Tournament to claim gold. Glide placed second behind Culver with 71 points. Alley was named both the 2A Wrestling Coach of the Year and the National Wrestling Coaches Association State Coach of the Year.
2. Ellsbury's great career ending soon, cut by the Yankees because of big contract dispute.
Madras High School graduate Jacoby Ellsbury, 36, was cut from the New York Yankees Nov. 20, and now the Yankees, who still owe Ellsbury $26 million, are accusing Ellsbury of unauthorized medical treatment.
The doctor that treated Ellsbury claims Ellsbury was not treated for any sports-related injury, and Ellsbury was already injured before beginning treatment with Dr. Viktor Bouquette. Bouquette also said that the treatment did not conflict with or impair Ellsbury's injury rehabilitation. It is also reported that the players association will defend any action taken against Ellsbury or his contract.
After Ellsbury graduated from Madras High, he 0played at Oregon State University. At OSU, Ellsbury became a star, an All-American, and even landed on the conference all-century team.
Ellsbury was drafted by the Boston Red Sox and helped the Red Sox win the World Series in 2007 and 2013. A parade was held in Madras in 2007 in honor of Ellsbury and his World Series win. A ceremony was held in a packed MHS gymnasium and the city of Madras designated Nov. 17 as Jacoby Ellsbury Day.
In 2011, Ellsbury was the Major League Baseball runner-up for the Most Valuable Player award. At the age of 27, Ellsbury had a .321 batting average, 32 home runs, 105 RBIs and 39 stolen bases. During that 2011 season, he won a Golden Glove and Silver Slugger award, as well as making an All-Star Game appearance.
Ellsbury signed with the Yankees after his 2013 season with the Red Sox, signing a seven-year $153 million contract. Over four seasons with the Yankees, Ellsbury hit .264 with 39 homers, 198 RBIs and 102 stolen bases in 520 games. He led the league in steals in 2008, 2009 and 2013. During his time with Boston, he had a .297 career average, 65 homers, 314 RBIs and 241 steals.
Ellsbury has not played since 2017, as he has dealt with a variety of injuries, including a bad back, hip surgery, and plantar fasciitis. The Yankees also had an outfield power roster with players like Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks during that time.
3. Bike/horse trail across from Juniper Hills
In 2019 it was announced that a trail for bicycles and horses would be made in Madras with the help of the Central Oregon Trail Alliance.
Just East of Juniper Hills Park a start point is available, and when you enter the gate, old bones and skulls are at your feet. Trails will be around 10 miles long, with rolling hills, cross country style mountain bike trails and it will make for winter and summer use.
The soil being used is slightly clay based, making for solid trails year round, and the clay makes less dust than other soils. The clay also allows riders to go at a faster speed than they could without it. Trails run through sagebrush with great views all around.
The trail is still being worked on by COTA and volunteers, but both the horse and bike trails are usable and open.
Juniper Hills also had a few improvements made to the park on July 18. A pavilion, bathroom and concessions were not the only new facilities and projects that the park and Jefferson County Little League have developed. New dugouts at the softball fields were put in a few years ago, as well as a batting cage near the baseball fields. Several volunteer hours also went into redoing the fields for the District 5 All-Star tournament hosted by Madras June 21-28.
4. Local trap shooters have amazing year
The Madras High School trap shoot team beat out 31 other Oregon teams, becoming state champions June 28 in Hillsboro. The team consisted of Mason Lee, James Lange, Logan Lee, Seth Feigner, Elias Tollefson, Nico Navarro, Connor Comingore, Justin Borchert and was coached Kevin Tollefson.
The team had 11 kids total and brought eight to the state competition. Teams can bring as many kids as they want. Some schools bring over 30 kids, but the best five shoot for the team. Trap shooting is a competition that consists of 25 or 50 targets from a 16-yard station.
Up to five shooters occupy the stations on the trap field.
The Madras trap shoot team has been on the rise since joining the Clay Target League in 2017, placing third. Madras finished in second place at the state competition last season, losing to Hermiston.
This year, the White Buffalos defeated Hermiston, which has an elite trap shooting program, by one target, claiming gold. Elias Tollefson placed second overall individually and was tied for 11th overall in the state. He was also recognized as a member of the All-State team.
Most recently, Four Jefferson County 4-H youths have qualified to compete alongside 700 4-H youths from 36 states in the 2020 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships, hosted by the University of Nebraska Lincoln and Nebraska 4-H.
The competition will take place June 21-26, 2020, at the Heartland Public Shooting Park near Alda, Nebraska, and the Heartland Events Center in Grand Island, Nebraska.
The 4-H Shooting Sports National Championships is a free event and open to the public. Youths ages 14-18 will compete in 27 events across nine disciplines, including compound archery, recurve archery, air rifle, air pistol, .22 rifle, .22 pistol, shotgun, muzzle loading and hunting skills.
Seth Colton, Carson King, James Lange and Logan Lee, along with coach Kevin Tollefson, will represent the state of Oregon in the Shotgun Discipline.
5. New coaching era in Jefferson County
The volleyball, cross country, boys basketball, track, baseball, water polo, swimming and wrestling programs all have new captains sailing the sea of Madras athletics.
Natalie Villanueva was named the new Madras volleyball coach in the fall and Brian Martz was the new Madras cross country coach, replacing Andrew Jensen. Water polo was available again this season after not having a coach last year. The new aquatics manager at the Madras Aquatic Center, Eric Bostard, took over the duties as the water polo coach.
Nick Brown is the new boys basketball coach, who replaced his father, Evan Brown. Brad Padgett, who coached the MHS wrestling team for one year five years ago, came back this season and is at the helm once again. Mikayla Howell was hired as the new high school swim team coach, replacing Tim and Sara Nelson.
Jerry Shaw was hired as the new Madras baseball coach, taking over for Sam McCormick this spring. Longtime track assistant Eddie Adams is the new MHS track coach, replacing Andrew Jensen.
The Bulldogs have new girls and boys basketball coaches this season. T.J. Foltz replaced the 10-year Culver girls coach Scott Fritz and John Spinelli is taking over as boys basketball coach for Johnny Wilson. Joey Graves became the new Culver baseball coach in the spring of 2019, replacing Shea Little. The Culver softball program was co-coached by Shelly Brown and Megan Woychack.
Carter Spear replaced Tom Kirk as the new cross country coach, and Nate Barber will be the head track coach for the upcoming season. Shea Little also came back as the football coach after a short stint away from football and led the 2A Bulldogs to the state playoffs. Graves also led the baseball team to the 2A state playoffs.
This year's honorable mention athletic stories just missed the cut, but are all worth recognition to wrap up a great 2019 sports year.
The Madras tennis program had one of its most successful years ever. Girls doubles team Erika and Jessica Olivera did not lose a set all regular season. They also had a great district tournament, becoming district champs. The two did not lose a single match until the state tournament.
The boys doubles team of Tony Giron and Esteban Gomez had a bit of a falling out after placing second and making state the prior season. They decided to play together again toward the end of the season, placing second at districts for the second straight year. They also made it to the second day at the state tournament in the spring of 2019.
Both the Madras and Culver football programs made the state playoffs this fall. The Madras football program played its second year in 3A and made back-to-back state playoff appearances for the first time since 1985-1986. Madras football will be at the 4A level again next season.
Culver football saw the return of coach Shea Little, who led the Bulldogs to a state playoff game. This was the first time since 2014 the football team made the state playoffs. Little was also the coach of the 2014 team.
The Madras track program had four district champions in 2019 and the Culver Bulldogs had two district champions and a champion relay team. Olivia Symons (long jump), Erik Boynton (pole vault), Allen Jackson (high jump), and Leo Guttierez (400) all became Tri-Valley District Champions for Madras. Cesar Orozco (long jump), Kash Michael (high jump) and the 4x100-meter relay team of Zennon Rebel, Jordan VanAlstyne, Caden Engel, and Orozco placed first at the 2A SD5 District Championships for Culver.

"Instead of highlighting the differences, we need to focus on our common challenges in the name of Islam and for the development of Muslim countries and the Muslim community," he continued.

My Stella Veneta taking shape!
My 80's Stella Veneta Columbus SL frame is at last near to be rideable!
Only brakes to be installed, here's a picture of it.
Ok, I admit it I'm an idiot.
I saw the lack of cable and thought hmmm, ergo. . .
didn't notice the downtube shifters etc.
Nice Frame, Very nice bike.
Ain't it a beauty. I'll bet you cant wait to take a spin around the block.
28 inch 'English' alloy rims.


Are you Nick Ginser? If so, email [email protected] to claim this critic page.
Corpse of Discovery, while having a great premise and a strong soundtrack is hard to recommend to the modern gamer.
Grand Theft Auto 5 for the PS4 and Xbox One really is the best way to play, and I definitely think if you are new to the series, or you are a veteran and played GTA 5 on old consoles, this is definitely worth your time and money.
The best way to play this is first, try to take it seriously. Try to act like you are a true surgeon and see how far you get. After that becomes boring, have some fun, try using things like a hammer to break the ribs of poor Bob, using a drill to take his eyes out, and using a laser to cut his brain out. All of these things can be used to make a game so simple, so fun.
In my reviews I like to tell gamers out there my personal favorite way to play games. For Velocity 2X I definitely would turn any sound system up as loud as it can comfortably go and let the game's music take you on a journey just as far as the game itself will take you.
The amount of times you are able to sneak up behind an enemy seems just about right.

I was just wondering if we could get a data base of Logs from the Dashhawk. Post up the logs with your current mods and Dashhawk version number. Maybe even help troubleshoot some areas and give pointers.
I'll post up first. I took off my XEDE and wanted to see how things would be afterwards. So I made a log. I think the AMB temp was around 75°. 4th gear pull starting at 3000rpms. Engine mods are; CS DP, ETS TMIC, CP-e CAI, Mrlilguy's CDFP, and TurboSmart BPV. Stock boost settings with no Map Clamp. Dashhawk v2.5 Beta 4.
Next weekend I may do another log with many other different mods done to my car. Depends how long it takes for my ecu to adapt.
Post up your logs to we can see how you are doing!
Okay, I did another pull last night playing with my map clamp. In this log I started off in 2nd gear and went part way into 4th. You can see I got boost cut by looking at where the fuel injected was cut off. You'll see the spikes. Right after his I readjusted the map clamp. But didn't get to data log again. Plus as Laloosh has been talking about, you'll see a slightly higher a/f in 4th gear.
Here is a log from last night. Same road. But this time it was starting to drizzle. I randomly choose a few different things to log this time. But I wanted to make sure I had boost logging to see where it was clamped. Well as you can see, I'm still hitting boost cut. It's clamped at 16.09psi. So I think one more full turn back on the map clamp will do the trick. You can see where it takes about 2.5secs before boost cut hits. This log is starting off in 2nd gear and going through 4th. DSC is on. So with the wet road traction control does kick in a few times in 2nd gear. Plus between shifts. You can see where 4th gear gets boost cut twice.
