One thing that's pretty noticeable about the Guelph Gryphons is the number of professional coaches who just seem to show up at training camp or at practice.
Last weekend former Toronto Argonauts head coach and general manager Jim Barker dropped by. A few days later it was Jeff Reinebold who stopped in.
And Reinebold liked what he saw on the Alumni Stadium field.
The visit might also have been good for Reinebold who was recently relieved of the defensive coordinator duties with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
While the Gryphons hope to gain some knowledge from the visiting coaches or just have the players see that professional coaches are interested in them, those visiting coaches can also learn from the Gryphons.
The coaches who drop in are more than happy to pass along their knowledge, too. Some feel it's almost an obligation to do so.
Reinebold does plenty of travelling as he makes Hawaii his home, but doesn't get there for any long stretches.
"I have a really interesting existence because I coached in the CFL. In November I go to London, England, and I do television for Sky Sports doing analyst work on the NFL games and after that I get to Hawaii as much as I can. I've got a little more time to get to Hawaii this year.
It might seem that it was a rebellion thing that drove Reinebold to football although his father was in baseball, but he says that wasn't the case.
When Reinebold left Alumni Stadium, he had a bigger insight into Gryphon football.

Obama's Pakistan trip may come unannounced
The US president might not fulfill the promise he made in the fall to visit Pakistan this year given the present circumstances.
The symbolic gesture that will strengthen the partnership of both countries in counterterrorism was put on hold after the death of the Al Qaeda leader caused by a bullet in the head during the raid of the US Navy Seals, according to AP.
Conducting the operations on its own, the US raid that killed Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan soil last week casted doubts on both sides.
For one, Washington is now skeptical of Islamabad's commitment to fight terrorism because the infamous terrorist leader was found and killed near the capital where he lived for six years without Pakistani authorities' knowledge.
On the other hand, Pakistan warned the US that it will review its military activities in the country if they will repeat an attack of similar nature. The Asian country also slashed down to as much as 40 percent of US forces in their country, in an earlier report.
Obama's counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said, "I think there's a commitment that the president has made that he is intending to visit Pakistan. A lot depends on availability, scheduling."
If the trip were cancelled, it will be seen as a sign of mistrust, the report said.
Former assistant secretary of state Karl Inderfurth advised that Obama's travel plan to Islamabad should remain on hold until the tensions had waned down.
"I don't think that responsible officials on either side want to inject into that situation all that is required for a presidential visit, including safety and security. The Pakistanis know they are sitting atop a very volatile situation."
The US Congress is considering cutting down its annual $1.3 billion military aid to Pakistan that it considers an unreliable partner against terrorism.
To address the security issues, the president might make a surprise visit to Islamabad just like what he did in Afghanistan and Iraq before.
Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Pakistan this year. Former presidentGeorge W. Bush did the same in Iraq during his term.

Q: How to set color for table rows based on column value in jQuery data table I am using jQuery datatables.I have the data like as follows
Column1 Column2 Column3
-----------------------
 AAA    BBB     CCC
 AAA    GGG     YYY
 BBB    ooo     LLL

Now in column1 for first 2 rows i have same value AAA.I want to apply some color to those
 rows.And then another color for third row.Like this i have 30 records.Is it possible to do this.If possible how i can do this.I am using jQuery data tables.Thanks in advance..

A: API has recently changed, you should now use aData['Column1'] instead of aData[0]

A: Use the fnRowCallback (or newer rowCallback) to achieve this
$('#example').dataTable({
    "fnRowCallback": function( nRow, aData, iDisplayIndex, iDisplayIndexFull ) {
        switch(aData[0]){
            case 'AAAA':
                $(nRow).css('color', 'red')
                break;
            case 'BBBB':
                $(nRow).css('color', 'green')
                break;
            case 'CCCC':
                $(nRow).css('color', 'blue')
                break;
        }
    }
});

Demo: Fiddle

A: createdRow functionality was added in v 1.10

This callback is executed when a TR element is created (and all TD child elements have been inserted), or registered if using a DOM source, allowing manipulation of the TR element.
This is particularly useful when using deferred rendering (deferRender) or server-side processing (serverSide) so you can add events, class name information or otherwise format the row when it is created.

https://datatables.net/reference/option/createdRow
Example:
    $('#example').dataTable({
        // ...
        "createdRow": function( row, data, dataIndex ) {
            if ( data["column_index"] == "column_value" ) {
                $( row ).css( "background-color", "Orange" );
                $( row ).addClass( "warning" );
            }
        },
        // ...
    });

Bid to end US funding to PH police, military may 'come into play' under Biden presidency – envoy
By Eimor Santos, CNN Philippines
Published Nov 20, 2020 8:36:38 PM
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez (FILE PHOTO)
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, November 20) — The country's envoy in Washington expects some progress in efforts to withdraw US funding to the Philippine police and military under the administration of Democratic President-elect Joe Biden.
Philippine Ambassador to the United States Jose Manuel Romualdez expressed this concern as he recalled that the US government gave the Philippines $550 million (almost ₱26.6 billion) worth of military assistance from 2016 to 2019.
"However, a recent bill filed by a Democratic representative which seeks to suspend military and police aid to the Philippines on the issue of human rights is something that could also come into play under the administration of President-elect Biden," Romualdez said in a forum organized by the Rotary Club of Manila.
READ: Duterte congratulates Joe Biden as PH gov't vows to 'work closely' with new US admin
He was referring to the proposed Philippine Human Rights Act, filed by Pennsylvania Democrat Rep. Susan Wild in September. The bill seeks to suspend the security assistance to the Philippines until reforms are made in the police and military.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque dismissed it as a "a very wild suggestion" that is unlikely to pass US Congress. However, Romualdez is certain "the usual suspects" will attempt "to put a wedge" between Duterte and Biden, who is set to take over as the 46th President of the US in January 2021.
Wild's controversial proposal assails President Rodrigo Duterte's bloody war on drugs, which has now left 5,903 people dead, based on government data. Human rights groups say thousands more were victims of alleged extrajudicial killings.
The bill also took note of attacks against labor leaders, journalists, and government critics, including the continued detention of Senator Leila de Lima on what she calls "trumped-up" drug charges.
Under the proposed measure, funding should be restored only after the Philippine government prosecutes erring law enforcers and puts an end to the abuses. Other requirements include taking the military out of domestic policy and protecting the rights of human rights defenders, activists, small farmers, journalists, indigenous persons, and critics of the government.
Romualdez stressed the government is taking steps to improve the country's human rights situation.
"We are not saying that there are now human rights violations but people must also recognize that something is in fact being done such as the filing of cases against members of the police force who are themselves involved in the illegal drugs trade," he said.
"As friends and allies, we can discuss these issues and the United States can also advise us but at the end of the day, they have to respect our sovereignty and recognize that we are an independent nation," the envoy added.
Separately, the European Parliament is seeking an end to the killings and abuses in the country. It recently adopted a resolution pushing for immediate trade sanctions "in the absence of any substantial improvement and willingness to cooperate" on the part of Philippine authorities.
The UN Human Rights Council took a softer approach, approving technical assistance to the Philippines amid calls for an international, independent, and impartial investigation.

Most troublingly, six states – Alabama, Delaware, Maine, Vermont, Virginia, and West Virginia – report that they do not collect any data at all. This is not acceptable. In these states, there is no way to measure even district-level teacher diversity levels and trends.
In addition, the overall situation is a bit less positive when it comes to whether (and how) SEAs make the data available to the public. Specifically, of the 45 states that collect at least district-by-district teacher diversity data, four do not make these data available to the public. This means that ten states – roughly one in five – either do not collect or do not make public teacher diversity data. Again, it is important to acknowledge the positive side here – i.e., four in five states do collect the data and make it public. In our opinion, however, ten states is ten too many.
Moreover, among the 41 SEAs that report (to their credit) that they make at least district-level data available, only 21 do so on their websites. The remaining 20 SEAs require that the data be requested. We made all these requests. Most SEAs filled the requests relatively quickly and free of charge, but some took a while to respond and a few charged a small processing fee (all of the datasets we received are available for download on the report's webpage). Alabama, for example, took several months (and repeated inquiries in writing and over the phone) to report that they do not collect the data.
Even if the requests are filled quickly and without charge, however, the requirement represents an unnecessary obstacle to access for policymakers and especially the public.
To conclude our report, we offer a few basic recommendations. First, the six states that do not collect any teacher diversity data should begin doing so immediately. Second, the four states that collect only district-by-district data should begin collect the more detailed school-by-school data. Third, all states should make their teacher diversity datasets available on their websites. And, fourth and finally, the U.S. Department of Education should begin collecting teacher diversity data as part of its Civil Rights Data Collection.
Education is a field awash in data, including data on teacher characteristics (experience, certification, etc.). That is generally a good thing. Teacher diversity should be no exception. It matters for student outcomes (and I like to think that students being exposed to teachers from different backgrounds is desirable in itself, regardless of whether this benefit shows up in observable outcomes such as test scores).
Moreover, the U.S. public school student population is quickly becoming more diverse, and the teaching force is becoming increasingly unrepresentative of the students it serves. Collecting and promulgating data will not by itself solve this problem, but it is certainly a basic necessity for understanding and addressing it effectively.


UrbanLoftArt.com has assembled an impressive collection of Buddhist art prints, with these images conveying a powerful message in a subtle way. The religion combines plenty of practices, beliefs and traditions in an attempt of encouraging people to be more understanding and get in touch with the nature surrounding them. The practices promoted by the Awakened One, as Buddha is commonly referred to, are worth studying, while the artwork itself dazzles the eye.
The fact that Buddhism has survived for thousands of years says a great deal about the force of this religion and it is still gaining strength. The awakened teacher helps the followers walk in his footsteps, while getting in harmony with sentient beings and putting an end to all suffering. Even if the complete elimination of craving and ignorance proves to be a bridge too far to some collectors, the Buddhist printings will still hit their mark. They won't turn the room into a shrine, but add a touch of spirituality to any interior and sooth the soul.


I have now been baking for over 5 years now and I can't believe that I have never made a souffle before in my life plus eaten it only once in my entire life. Amazingly it is such a simple recipe, typically made up for three to four ingredients only.
So when I had leftover passionfruit I was very tempted to use it in a dessert. However I knew I would be busy over the next few weekends and decided to scrap the pulp out and freeze it. So when it came time to actually put the souffle together, I was really excited. I knew souffles have a tendency to deflate very quickly and as such I set up my camera and props to be ready to snap away when the ramikins were taken out of the fridge. Luckily I was able to take my shots before they deflated out on me.
2) Brush four 250ml (1-cup) ovenproof ramikins with butter. Sprinkle with the sugar, shaking off any excess.
3) Use an electric beater to beat egg whites in a large clean dry bowl until soft peaks form. Add extra sugar a spoonful at a time, whisking after each addition until well combined. Continue whisking until sugar dissolves.
4) Use large metal spoon to fold passionfruit into egg whites. Spoon in dishes. Use flat knife to smooth tops and place dishes on baking tray. Run a thumb around inside rim of dishes in souffle mixture. Bake in preheated oven for 12 minutes or until golden. Dust with icing sugar and serve immediately.
Oh wow, lovely shots Jo! And the souffle turned out so lovely too! Envy! You know what, I've never baked a souffle too, haha!
Anyway, you were indeed quick!
I think I'm worse, LOL.
I've never eaten one before.
I told myself after I got this new oven (my old oven was a microwave convection), I must make souffle, but it' been almost a year and I haven't tried making.
delicious! I am loving this recipe already!
wow you perfected it in the first attempt. They are so pretty.

Experiment in Terror Film Review
By le0pard13, October 31, 2012
We're at that time again, and it didn't seem like it took that long to get here. Fall has fallen, and we keep tumbling toward the end of the year like no one's business. And since today is Halloween, it seems only fitting to keep it like last year's post, what with terror a somewhat expected element.
So, the blogger otherwise known as the Scientist Gone Wordy and I will close out the year of 2012 with the last of our reviews in parallel. For this month, the wordy one will examine a work of frightful suspense by the husband and wife writing team known as The Gordons. Mildred and Gordon Gordon wrote a number of crime fiction novels from the 50s through the late 70s (till the year of Mildred's death in '79).
Their book Operation Terror, another in the John Ripley series of novels, was published in 1961. I'll look at its film adaptation, with its more than solid screenplay, that bears the altered title of Experiment in Terror, which debuted in the U.S. during Spring of 1962. Rachel's book review can be found here:
Operation Terror by The Gordons
A brief synopsis of the film: Hard working bank teller Kelly Sherwood is accosted one dark night in her garage by an asthmatic psycho, and in the most frightening and personal way. Garland "Red" Lynch has only one demand, and a couple of options if it doesn't happen the way he wants. Steal $100,000 from the bank for him, or Kelly, and/or her sister, are killed. Simple, and there better not be any cops involved. Lynch will use a campaign of terror to keep the teller unsettled in this cat-and-mouse game. He forces her to go through with an elaborate robbery scheme, one that FBI agent John Ripley suspects is amiss. He advises Kelly to play along with the killer in the hope to capture this dangerous criminal with a minimum of bloodshed.
[spoiler warning: some key elements of the film could be revealed in this review]
"Next time, Kelly, I'll kill you for sure!"
I have to admit watching this movie once again threw me back in time. Not so much because the film reached its 50th anniversary this year, but how I first came upon it. One of the oldest independent TV stations in Los Angeles was KHJ-TV Channel 9 (1951 – 1989). Back when its signal was analog, it ran The Million Dollar Movie series, and in the early decades would showcase one film during an entire week. Run it each evening, in actuality, Monday to Friday. Somewhere in the mid-60s, I actually caught this film's climatic ending one night after turning the television dial. I became intrigued, came back to it a day or two later, and watched the whole film, with grandmother along side.
Experiment in Terror remains one superb, taunt little thriller, even decades later. Sadly, it's one that fewer and fewer movie fans seem to remember these days. Likely considered mild in today's light, it retained a distinct terrorizing nature in its storytelling and craft that only a few films of the period seemed to possess. I'd say Hitchcock's Psycho, two years earlier, was an influence. However, Blake Edwards' film went more for suspense rather than shock. The production no doubt benefitted by the fact that the writing team of the Gordon's transcribed their novel to the screen themselves. The film has proven influential in its own right.
"… the beginning of this film is still one of the best openings to a thriller I've ever seen. I love showing it to friends as an example of how to grab your audience by the throat and hold them captive for a couple of hours." ~ Dan Ireland, commenting at Trailers From Hell
As others more astute than I have pointed out, this was a departure, as well as a return, for director/writer Blake Edwards, having come off the bright success of Breakfast at Tiffany's. The filmmaker always had a wonderful touch with comedy and music (as Operation Petticoat of recent past and his triumphs with the Pink Panther film series shortly to come proved). Yet, the latter would be in this, the return to his noir roots (the still under appreciated TV series Peter Gunn, 1958-61, under his belt). This film would initialize Edwards' talent beyond what viewers had come to expect. The stark and sobering drama The Days of Wine and Roses would arrive next and seal it.
The first twelve minutes of Experiment in Terror are nothing short of extraordinary, too. Anyone familiar with Film Noir will instantly recognize the distinct lighting utilized. The entire sequence draws its whole energy from the darkness and the sheer black in its scenes. Director of Photography Philip Lathrop well-focused black and white cinematography, his noirish use of shadows and contrast, really made it all stand out. Along with the up/down angles he and Edwards used in photographing the principals, you had thoroughly moody visuals that only enhanced the whole film. Still, that first sequence by the director, along with the acting, its tone and threat, and the unexpected twist our heroine receives for her trouble at the other end of the phone, made it quite something.
The tightness and anxiety the story generated was wholly due to the film's cat and mouse nature, one that only added to the overall mood of the piece. What I think is the film's secret is that Kelly (a wonderfully stunning Lee Remick) is the mouse in between the two cats in the tale (so to speak). The confident psychotic (who until the end, was always a step ahead of everyone) and the FBI, as depicted through Special Agent Ripley, the always solid Glenn Ford (his comb-over hair style, something I really noticed this time around, I'll just leave alone). Every scene she's in really draws the audience's eye, much like the really wonderful supporting role Stephanie Powers debuted here, but Remick's true talent was that she seemed the only one we could truly empathize with.
Two other characters were distinguishable in this. Ross Martin's superlative "Red" Lynch had the other remarkable, and quite human role, here (and why his and Lee's character introduction at the beginning of the film remain the film's most astonishing scene). Martin, who would go on to a very good character actor career on television (especially as Artemis Gordon in The Wild Wild West) before is too early demise in '81, was so good in the role he set the stage for another bayside psychotic killer the next decade over. Don't tell me you can't see Andrew Robinson birthed the 'Scorpio Killer' in Dirty Harry from this? The other would be the city of San Francisco herself. I firmly believe Experiment in Terror used Baghdad by the Bay quite effectively and as a vanguard. The story is so centered on the city (it's what attracts Kelly's eyes crossing the Bay Bridge at the beginning of the film), as to be dark luminary of the story, in fact.
Henry Mancini's score was the final puzzle piece to what separated this film from others. Before the likes of John Williams, James Horner, and Hans Zimmer of the current era came to dominate movie scoring, there was Mancini. "The evocative chilling score by Henry Mancini is absolutely one of his best.", as Dan Ireland so eloquently stated, and really set the ambience for the film. And no less influent. Compare his theme here to a certain and renowned opening piece by Angelo Badalamenti, Falling, and it won't be hard to spot Henry's pull on the later David Lynch television series. Don't believe me? Where does the character of Kelly live in San Francisco? That's right, Twin Peaks.
Truly, Blake Edwards' dark little film was at the forefront in his inky distillation of a crime thriller (care of The Gordons). You can spot the sway it had on films that used the location of San Francisco so well. Certainly, six years later in Peter Yates' Bullitt and the decade to come with Don Siegel's Dirty Harry. For that latter film, notice how the same Catholic Church in a certain part of the city was used in both pictures. And, singularly, as the killer ran back into the emptied Candlestick ballpark, was also revealing. The chase down of "Red" Lynch there will later recall Harry Calahan's scene with Scorpio at the old Kezar Stadium in the 1971 work, especially in the aerial pull away shot, much like Blake Edward's film used for its close.
Experiment in Terror was an ahead-of-its-time film, even if its noirish roots paid homage to the genre's past, I'd say. It wasn't a mystery so much as a study of terror and suspense cloaked as a police procedural, and one with a decidedly different point of view. Note the number of close-ups director Edwards used so well in this. Everything is played out on the principals' expressive faces (pre-dating Jonathan Demme's heavy use in Silence of the Lambs by decades). And still terrify the hell out of you without a trace of gore, blood, or gratuitous violence, comparatively. As well, keep this last thing in mind. Even as cold-blooded as the killer appeared in the film, the why and what he was did it for offered a character twist few in the day ever put forward (even that villainous asthmatic rasp). Filmed beautifully in black and white, it remains a movie that reveled in the darkness and shadows, and used them to create some of the most breathtaking and unsettling moments of the era.
Note: for another fine perspective on this film, I highly recommend my blogging colleague Colin and his excellent examination.

Well done. I particularly like the way you draw in the forward looking aspects of the movie. Great stuff.
le0pard13 October 31, 2012
Thank you very much for the kind words, Colin. And I look forward to your upcoming piece on this film, too.
ruth October 31, 2012
Great writeup Michael! "…And still terrify the hell out of you without a trace of gore, blood, or gratuitous violence, comparatively." I think for me, the less is more rule applies to horror/thriller, so I'm more inclined to watch those where things aren't blatantly displayed on screen. That's why I like The Sixth Sense and Road to Perdition, what you DON'T see can be even more suspenseful. Btw, Lee Remick is also in The Omen right? Did she do mostly horror films?
I'm with you, Ruth. One doesn't necessarily need to be so explicit when the audience, through the help of the filmmaker, can do it all in their own head. Great examples with 'The Sixth Sense' and 'Road to Perdition', as well. Many thanks for the read and comment, Ruth 😀
Oh, and regarding Lee Remick, she was a very versatile actress and performed in a number of genres. I think her work in this film, and as the alcoholic wife of Jack Lemmon in 'Days of Wine and Roses' said a lot of her talent and range. LM was something special. She was, in fact, nominated for a Best Actress Academy Award for her performance in DoWaR. I also recommend her work in Otto Preminger's 'Anatomy of a Murder'. Thanks, Ruth.
Oh right she was in 'Days of Wine and Roses.' I remember that now from Jack's post on Mr. Lemmon. Thanks Michael!
Morgan R. Lewis October 31, 2012
Great review, Michael. I hadn't heard of this film before, and now I'm kind of curious about it. I'm really only familiar with Blake Edwards' comedic works…
Thank you, Morgan. Some of Blake Edwards more dramatic works shouldn't be missed. This one and 'Days of Wine and Roses', especially.
I'll keep them both in mind, then. Thanks, Michael.

I'll be here when you do :D. Thanks, Rachel.
The Blake Edwards mysteries | Tipping My Fedora November 5, 2012
[…] Experiment in Terror (1962) Adapted by 'The Gordons' (husband and wife authors Mildred Gordon and, I kid you not, Gordon Gordon), this is a superbly made Noir, heavy on atmosphere and exhibiting none of Edwards' usual comedic stylings. Instead we have a beautifully shot (courtesy of Philip Lathrop) policier set in San Francisco with Glenn Ford as a FBI agent trying to help Lee Remick, who is being victimsed by a bank robber who wants her to do the robbing for him. For two contrasting but equally excellent reviews of the film, see what Colin has to say at Riding the High Country while Michael provides further illumination over at, It Rains … You Get Wet. […]

Elizabeth Taylor Sale
Last week (13th-16th December), Christie's New York hosted the sale of Elizabeth Taylor's Jewellery Collection. The first evening sale on the 13th reached $115,932,000 (£74,196,480), becoming the most valuable jewellery auction in history. Six other new world auction records have been established by the sale: 1) price per carat for a colourless diamond 2) for a ruby, 3) a pair of natural pearl ear pendants, 4) a pearl jewel, 5) an Indian jewel and 6) an emerald jewel.
The highlight of the sale was the pearl known as La Peregrina, which fetched a record price for a pearl at $11, 842, 500 (£7, 579, 200). The pearl has a remarkable history, it was first discovered in the 1500's in the Gulf of Panama, then during the 16th century King Philip of Spain gave it to Mary I of England. (The pearl features in the portrait Mary I by Hans Eworth the National Portrait Gallery, London. The pearl was famously purchased by Richard Burton for Elizabeth Taylor in 1969 for $37,000.
Other top lots included: The Elizabeth Taylor Diamond sold for $8,818,500 (£5,643,840), which she wore virtually every day for more than three decades. As well as The Taj Mahal Diamond (c. 1627 – 28) on a gold and ruby chain by Cartier which realised $8,818,500 (£5,643,840). The diamond was another gift from Richard Burton.
A further 190 jewels sold and their full details with photos can be viewed on the Christie's website.


Over the years, as the makeover plan was being implemented, BEST bus service was losing its sheen and commuters. Reviewing functioning and making changes in it, keeping in mind the way Mumbaiites work and commute, was never taken seriously. When it came to the BEST, the only solution seemed to be buying more buses.
The easy answer to your question is: An otaku is essentially a nerd although that doesn't quite answer the question. The word is from the Japanese stemming from the formal word for "house" as in "household." However, the word has since deteriorated to mean someone who is obsessed about whatever their interest is. For example, there are train otaku, TV otaku and the like.

Top 50 Best-Selling Records on Discogs in October 2021
Davey Ferchow posted November 22, 2021
The latest monthly best-selling list is here, and it's a great way to discover new music as you take a deeper look at what the Discogs Community is collecting. By determining how many purchases were made by Discogs users in the Marketplace, you'll be able to see which genres, labels, and artists are taking the Community by storm.
The top 50 for October 2021 includes seminal albums from David Bowie, DJ Shadow, Oasis, and Wu-Tang Clan, just to name a few. The inclusion of these popular artists comes as no surprise, but the list is not without its more obscure gems. Ghanaian multi-instrumental Kiki Gyan made the top 50 with a compilation called 24 Hours In A Disco 1978-82. With a recent repress now available, this infectious disco collection compiles dance anthems that the Community can't get enough of. Tatsuro Yamashita's For You has been out of print on vinyl since 1985, so City Pop enthusiasts are tracking down the original pressing from 1982.
In addition to iconic records from decades past, this month's list is topped by a few contemporary artists. London-based soul collective Sault have claimed one of the top spots with their fifth album in three years. A collaborative 7-inch from disco funk group Nu Genea and singer Célia Kameni is limited to 2,500 copies and already sold out on Bandcamp, so it's only natural that collectors would grab one from their favorite Discogs shop.
With noticeable releases missing from the list (like the ever-popular Random Access Memories) and the holidays quickly approaching, the best-selling list just may shock and awe in November and December.

Dr. Jim Glanville to Present on William Preston.
Dr.Jim Glanville will present "William Preston and the Making of America" on Sunday, March 18, 2 PM at the museum. The talk will address Virginia's role in establishing a nationally-accepted model for local governments. William Preston served as a land surveyor for Fincastle, Botetourt, and Montgomery Counties before his death in 1783. Preston saw many territory exchanges and county formations in his time, making him a very interesting historical figure to study on a local level, as well as a national level.
Glanville is a retired chemistry professor living in Blacksburg, VA. Born in London, England, Glanville emigrated to the United States in 1962, where his professional career included jobs in the chemical industry and academia until his retirement in 2004 after spending twenty years at Virginia Tech. Glanville has an "encore career" as an independent scholar of history and archaeology of pre-1800 southwest Virginia and the area he has named "Holstonia." Visit his website, www.holstonia.net, to learn more about Glanville and to see many of his publications and presentations online, several featuring more about William Preston.

Hello! My name is Pavel Kivalin. Some time ago I was sitting in Social Quantum office working on another farm game for social networkes. Suddenly I was struck with an idea of creating my own game. Being unable to compete with AAA giants like Clash of Clans, I decided to create a simple but fun time-killing game. After a brainstorm with my wife Elvira and my friend Andrey we decided to create a game about making a Fruit Jelly, where player must catch juicy fruits while avoiding nasty bugs.
By a lucky coincidence my wife turned out to be an artist from Creat Studios and my friend - a game designer from Wargaming. So be it! I quit the job and started my own project. In order to burn the bridges I decided to move with my wife from St. Petersburg to exotic Thailand. The adventure began! And now after several months of hard work we are ready to release our game - Jelly Fruit! It'll be available for free downloading from Appstore and Google Play on 6th March 2014.


Fall was in the air….
An unusual late afternoon fog set in during our stroll….
I ended up needing more coat than I had on….
Love the foggy pathway. Beautiful shots, Tim.
Beautiful photos of autumn. Glad I found them buried in my unopened email from November!


Driving or not driving I am a morning person and I enjoy sitting in our driver's side swivel seat with my laptop on my lap, sipping coffee, and watching the world wake up or in this case, many people come to work.
Sitting just south of Charlotte, that is notorious for not having enough truck parking, I watched as car after car pulled in and dropped off a driver or even came by and started their truck before going back out front to park. This was frustrating as in the evening I watched as trucks circled looking for a place to park. This is not the only place in the country where personal parking happens each night.
A few of these trucks were day cabs and as the driver being dropped of got out of the car they arrived in they brought their lunch box with them. Do you think anyone living local is buying their breakfast, lunch, snacks, or supper from inside the truck stop? I sure did not see any evidence of the drivers carrying coffee cup from the truck stop or a bag full of snacks. One day cab driver I noticed as he parked near us each night would come to start his truck and then go park his car up front in the restaurants parking area before coming back and getting in his truck to start the day.
Yes, we were parked here for more than 24-hours due to the type of loads we were hauling and while we did not fuel at this truck stop we did spend more than $20 inside the restaurant each day. As we have watched trucks stops start charging to park we have thought more and more how our actions in the past probably contributed to some of our current pay to park problems.
Talking to another driver we wondered what does justify us parking at a truck stop or what do we think a truck stop considers a fair price? When we do a 34-hour restart or we are waiting on our next load how do we pay for the parking privilege? Our discussion led to the truck stops that are gated and the common fees. The median cost is $20 in-store purchases or purchase 60 gallons of fuel for one night's stay or pay $15 to $20 dollars at the gate as you leave within 24 hours.
Do the local drivers spend this much at the truck stop where they leave their trucks for the night so they can go home? Do we who take our 34-hour restart or wait for our next load take this cost into consideration as we wait? I wonder if this lot became a pay lot how many of the locals would consider their parking a good deal and continue to park here and pay the price or rent a parking place at another location?
I generally park at truck stops ONLY when I need to be there, showering, etc, otherwise I prefer the more out of the way places (I even avoid rest areas if possible) such as the parking areas in Wyoming and places similar to that. When I do park at a truck stop overnight, I usually pull nose in only because my cab has been bumped more than once by someone who had no business attempting (or practicing) to back in when the area was that crowded- Better they hit the trailer than my truck, and I tend to drive late therefore I shut down late and by the time my 10 is up, the place is pretty empty so no issue backing out.
A few years ago I was fueling (midday) at the Love's in Buckeye, AZ and the manager, along with a few other employees, were patrolling the small and (almost always) crowded lot watching as driver after driver did this very thing, telling them they cannot park there unless they are conducting business there! Many of these were drivers for Swift and Knight, whose main terminals are just minutes away right there on the west side of Phoenix!
Some also park there and stay at the Day's Inn right next door when the motel has truck parking (sure, it's a dirt lot) right there in front on the other side.

"In the 70's/80's Ibanez were imported into the UK by a gentleman named Maurice Summerfield who also ran the Ashley Mark publishing co. Apparently he secured Joe Pass' Ibanez deal regarding his signature model. He also did the same for B.Kessel (a close friend of Mr Summerfield's). This went as far as a prototype being made which Barney used on a European tour."
"In May 2011, Barney's own Ibanez signature prototype was advertised at auction on ebay. The guitar, which had no serial number and was made specifically for Barney by Ibanez, was sold by son Dan Kessel, in Beverly Hills, CA. The guitar, sold with a COA, was descibed as being "...owned and played professionally by the leg endary Barney Kessel." The guitar sold for a not-so-legendary price of 2357.00."
