Not long ago, we wondered how any NBA team was supposed to beat the Portland Trail Blazers. Last night, we got our answer: put Kevin Durant on the other team, and make him angry.
The Blazers were their dangerous, attack-you-from-all-angles selves throughout almost the entirety of the game. LaMarcus Aldridge was grabbing rebounds and hitting impossible fall-away shots from the block, Wesley Matthews was hitting jumpers from all over the floor, and Mo Williams swooped in to rescue a semi-cold Damian Lillard with 13 points and nine assists off the bench. But in the end, none of that mattered, because Kevin Durant got pissed off.
With just over 4:00 to play, Durant, already with 35 points on 21 shots, dribbled around a Kendrick Perkins screen on the wing and rose up for an open three-pointer. Nicolas Batum swiped at Durant's arms from behind, getting away with a no-call and forcing a turnover. On the Thunder's next possession, still down 93-90, Durant pushed a one-man fast break and darted down the right side of the lane with a LeBron-esque head of steam, barreling over Damian Lillard. Durant may have lowered his shoulder a bit, but Lillard's feet were definitely moving, and what probably should have been a blocking foul was called as a charge.
Durant screamed at the referee at the other end of the floor and was quickly hit with a technical foul. Lillard missed the tech free-throw while Durant stalked along his own sideline, seething. He exchanged a few more angry words with the nearest official while Aldridge shot two freebies of his own, and got the ball back with 3:45 to play, down 95-90. Kevin Durant was angry, and the Blazers were finished.
The game would end on a 12-2 Thunder run, simply because Kevin Durant could not be stopped. After spending a good 10 seconds of the ensuing possession pleading with big dumb Kendrick Perkins to get him the goddamn ball—seriously Kendrick, did you not see how mad he was? Just get him the ball!—Durant finally got his hands on the rock just in front of half-court line with six seconds on the clock. Five seconds, one crafty crossover, and two gigantic steps later, Durant was gliding past the hoop and softly laying the ball in with his left hand. His next three shots went like this: Pull-up three off a pick-and-roll on the wing; isolation three right in Nicolas Batum's face at the top of the key; pull-up, yeah-fuck-it-I-can't-miss-at-this-point three at the top of the key with Batum's hand in his face and Matthews rushing at his flank. His final tally: 46 points on 17-25 shooting.
After that first three, Durant turned toward the Blazers bench, took out his mouth guard, and shouted what must have been some not-very-nice things at his opponents. The specifics of what Durant said don't really matter, his message was clear: This is what happens when I get angry. After his last three, Durant's anger gave way to laughter. As he returned to the bench to celebrate with his teammates, he just started laughing hysterically.
To watch Kevin Durant these days is to be confronted with a series of absurdities. It's absurd to see a 6-foot-10 small forward bringing the ball up the court and initiating the offense on a good chunk of his team's possessions. It's even more absurd to watch that 6-foot-10 small forward dribble his way into a double team on the left baseline, only to escape it with a quick step-back jumper that never had any chance of touching anything but nylon. It's the height of absurdity to watch that 6-foot-10 small forward win a game against a great team by stepping up to the bumper and casting off the kind of the three-point shots you'd be too scared to take in your own driveway.
Maybe that's why Durant was laughing at the end of the game. In that moment, perhaps he became aware of just how absurd his own existence is.

Sidni Hoxha Named CAA Swimmer of the Week
By ODU Athletics
Nov. 6, 2012
NORFOLK, Va. - Junior Monarch, Sidni Hoxha was named the CAA Swimmer of the Week after he helped lead the Monarchs to two wins over the weekend.
The Old Dominion men's swimming and diving team beat George Mason (222.00-131.00) and Towson (233.00-118.00) on Nov. 2-3 at the J.C. "Scrap" Chandler Pool in the ODU Student Recreation Center.
Hoxha played a major role in the Monarch's clean sweep. The junior from Albania won the men's 200 yard freestyle (1:42.27), while easily claiming victory in the 100 yard freestyle (45.47), and finished first in the 50 yard freestyle (20.51). Hoxha also won the 200 yard freestyle relay along with Edward Hubert, Ben Leach, and Ben Hansen (1:25:16).
The six foot three Albanian has his name all over the Old Dominion record book as he currently holds the school record in the 50 yard freestyle. He has the second fastest time in the 100 yard freestyle and seventh quickest finish in the 200 yard freestyle.
Hoxha has been a member of three teams that stand in first on the school's all-time top times list for the 200 yard free relay, along with the 200 and the 400 yard medley relays. This Monarch standout also was part of the team that currently ranks second in school history for the 400 yard freestyle relay.
Hoxha has competed in the Olympics twice, first in Beijing in 2008 followed by his most recent involvement in the 2012 Olympics in London. Hoxha opened some eyes at the London Olympics, capturing the top time in his heat and finished 37th overall.
In 2010 Hoxha was named the CAA Rookie of the Year and was crowned CAA champion in the 50 yard freestyle. He posted a time of 19.71 in the 50 yard freestyle, as he is only the second Monarch ever to come in under the 20 second mark.
Old Dominion will be back in action on Nov. 16-18 in Chapel Hill, N.C. where they will be competing in the Nike Cup.

For some young actors, a big break is worthy of a handsome prize. A private jet, colorful sports car, or house in the hills are not uncommon purchases among the newly rich and famous. However, that wasn't the case for one of Hollywood's most dashing gentlemen. When actor Josh Duhamel made it big, the first thing he splurged on was an old hunting cabin in the middle of nowhere. "I bought this property literally out in the woods. I bought 27 acres for like, nothing," he reminisces. "I couldn't believe that I got it for that [price]. It had just an old hunting cabin on it, no electricity, no toilet—just an outhouse and place to sleep. But I loved it because it felt… so primal. There [are] no amenities. You chop your wood, you clean your dishes in the lake. You want to take a bath? You go jump in the lake."
It's his incredible ability to be down to earth, to be another one of the guys, that makes Duhamel wildly likable and relatable to both sexes. Sure, it's hard not to be taken by his smoldering brown eyes, mischievous megawatt smile and 6'3" frame, but spend a couple of minutes with him and you can't help but feel like he's a fun-loving older brother, quick to play a prank or provide a hug—whichever is necessary. He's basically an average dude who happens to be a wildly handsome actor starring in one of the summer's most anticipated blockbusters.
Come June 23, Duhamel will reprise his role as Lt. Colonel William Lennox in the fifth installment of the Transformers series. From director Michael Bay, Transformers: The Last Knight also co-stars Mark Wahlberg, Gemma Chan, Stanley Tucci and Anthony Hopkins. While Duhamel acknowledges that his character is there "to facilitate the military action stuff," he loves acting in the large-scale science-fiction action movie because "working on a Michael Bay set is unlike anything else… He expects everybody to be ready to go, and there's a lot of moving parts. You've got helicopters flying all over the place, you've got bombs going off, you've got this Porsche Carrera with a big crane on top of it with a camera. You've just got so much going on that everybody needs to be on top of their shit… There's just something addictive about the energy on a set like this." With these films, Bay is known for recreating authentic-looking battles between humans and oversized machines.

For the filming, which was shot in London, Duhamel had to be in impeccable shape so he could perform some of the complex stunts himself. "I shoot as many stunts as they let me do," he says. "Anybody that says they do all their own stunts, I don't know, that's hard to believe. There's insurance—it's hard to get a movie bonded if you're gonna be doing a lot of your own."
One extremely "hairy" sequence he sat out of involved a giant raising gimbal, hydraulic lifts, a 45-degree angle tilt and 10,000-gallon drums of water. "They have these stunt guys there and they'd get them tied off so they didn't fly off the platform because it's 50 feet in the air. My stunt guy, Paul, thought he broke his arm. He had to get taken off in the ambulance. One of the camera guys got washed off because, with that much water, there's nothing that'll stop it… It got pretty dangerous. But that all lends to the authenticity of the movie."
Although some of it is digitally enhanced (the Transformers themselves are computer generated), the rest is as real as it gets. During filming, Duhamel and company felt as if they were actually at war. "There [are] explosions and guns going off all around. It feels like you're really in a battle most the time. Whether or not giant robots are there, you're mostly just worried about catching brass in the face from the guy next to you… Michael surrounds us with real military guys and makes these battle scenes feel as real as possible."
Actors rarely receive accolades for fighting mechanical aliens in summer blockbusters, but participating in a film series like Transformers has its perks. "To be a part of something like this is really helpful because… it gives you a lot more exposure internationally," Duhamel explains. "It is important, in some ways, to be a part of a franchise because it gives you enough credibility, I guess, to go and make smaller movies. Which is what I really love to do."

Friends, Films and Fatherhood
One passion project he's been working on for the past two years is about to come to fruition. The Buddy Games is a film that Duhamel wrote with friend and television director, Jude Weng. It has been given the green light, with shooting scheduled to start this summer and Duhamel both directing and starring in the production. The film is "a dude comedy that really speaks to brotherhood, fellowship and friendship, and how important it is—especially as you get older." It's partly based on his own life. Every year, he gets together with long-time friends for a bro-mantic weekend of gaming. It's a great way for Duhamel to reconnect with them and allow his competitive side to shine. "We go for a weekend and compete in all these different events, from paintball to go-kart racing to ping pong to golf."
In the film, which revolves around a group of four men, one of the characters loses both of his testicles in an accident. "These guys have all sort of separated over the last few years because of an accident that happened the last time they got together… One of the guys that got hurt, his mother comes to the leader of the group and asks if he'll get the guys back together to help save her son, basically, because he's gone into this spiral…" Although it is too early for Duhamel to share which actors will be joining him on The Buddy Games set, he is able to confirm one co-star: Nick Swardson. "He's from Minnesota, we're both Vikings fans and he's just like, no-holds-barred… The other guys, we're still in the process of casting."
For a glimpse of what The Buddy Games may consist of, one need not look any further than Duhamel's public Instagram account. There he is with a buddy holding a giant fish he's just caught. There he is with a buddy in a fur-lined snow cap at a Minnesota Vikings football game. There he is with a buddy on a Scottish golf course. There he is with buddies drinking red wine on a beach at sunset. In fact, you can learn a lot about the actor just by browsing. As a son, older brother, husband and dad, you can tell he's also a true family man.
Further, Duhamel is not afraid to dress up in costume or poke fun at himself. He's not lacking confidence, as evidenced by his many candid selfies and videos in which he's communicating directly with fans. The actor has 1.7 million followers—enough for the studios to take notice. "I have sort of a love/hate relationship with social media. I'm constantly struggling with what to post and what not to post because I am a pretty private guy and I like to keep it that way. But at the same time… the studios place a lot of value on that and it helps you to get jobs. I just try to do it as responsibly and un-invasively as I can, so I don't feel like I'm selling my soul every time I post something."
Selling his soul for entertainment's sake, though, is something Duhamel is familiar with portraying. In the current dark drama, This is Your Death, he plays the host of a Bachelor-type reality series. On the big reveal episode, the woman who doesn't get picked shoots the millionaire bachelor—and herself. The entire traumatizing event is aired on live television and everyone, including Duhamel's character, is shocked to see ratings go through the roof. "He thinks he's gonna get fired [but the producers and networks] actually have this idea to do the show where people go on TV and off themselves. And he's like, 'Are you kidding me? This is the worst idea I've ever heard, I'm not doing it, this is ridiculous, this is what I hate about what I do.' Then he starts to think about it, and he's like, 'Wait, I can do this and tell it in my own way where it actually does people good. If it does something [that] makes people appreciate life, rather [than be] about death, it's about life.'" But throughout the course of the film, the character experiences a transformation. "He sort of goes from the hero to the anti-hero in this movie. That's really what I loved about it—it's sort of the opposite of what you typically see. It's shocking—the movie's shocking. People are gonna love it or hate it. But it definitely leaves an impact."
What's shocking is that, according to Duhamel, a reality TV show where people commit suicide live could actually happen. "There's no limit. It's all about shock value and it's all about whatever it takes to get people, to get eyeballs. So if there's a way for a network to do it legally, I have no doubt they would do it." He pauses to think carefully about the subject before continuing, "People have always had this primal, sort of bloodthirsty thing to watch this kind of stuff, as far back as the Roman Empire and the gladiators in the Colosseum. So much crazy shit [has] happened throughout the years. It's all based in fear. News networks do everything to scare people so that they watch and they can exert control over them."

Does he think we're doomed and that the world's going to hell in a handbasket? Judging by his personal motto, no. "Everything is going to be okay" is his generic, but reassuring, mantra. It's the sort of thing one would expect and want to hear from a guy's guy. Duhamel is also positive that the resistance movement will gain strength. "At the end of the day, there's the other side of it, too. There's gonna be a whole sort of revolution against all this stuff. And it's gonna be more spiritual, there's gonna be more compassion, there's gonna be more people speaking out against it a little bit, like 'What are we doing?'"
Another project he's working on that's sure to get people talking is a possible return to television. Duhamel got his start with a recurring role on the daytime soap, All My Children, and he could be reappearing on the small screen this fall with Unsolved, a limited series based on the Tupac/Biggie murders and the conspiracy surrounding them. Only the pilot has been shot, but Duhamel is hopeful it will get picked up for the entire ten-episode arch by USA Network. He would play a detective working the case. "Anthony Hemingway is directing/producing. USA is great—they're doing really cool stuff and they're not pulling any punches. They're telling the story as real, as realistically, as it should be told."
A limited series is the only type of television Duhamel says he would do at this point, as he's not ready to commit to something that could possibly last several years. "I love what TV's doing right now. I think it really is incredible and there's so much great stuff out there that I just want to be patient and find something that I really respond to… It's a little scary knowing that [a project] could go ten years, which would be great, but it's also tough. I have so much other stuff that I really want to get done."

He's also just wrapped Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda alongside Jennifer Garner and Nick Robinson, who portrays his son struggling to come out of the closet. "I'm playing the father of a 17-year-old kid, which I didn't think was possible. And then I realized I was 44 and it's totally possible," he laughs—burly and genuine. "That was a bit of shock to the ego, knowing that I could have a son that old, but it's been really fun. What I really loved about the script was that, normally, stories like this are heavy-handed and they take [the subject matter] very seriously, but this is more of a comedy than anything… It's beautiful and it's important. It's one of those stories that I think is really relevant to now. It's all about tolerance, acceptance and love—not hate and all that kind of stuff. For me, I really love what it has to say."
Has he gotten mushier since becoming a father for real? Perhaps. In 2013, his wife Fergie gave birth to their son Axl Jack, an adorable towhead who graces many of his parents' Instagram photos. But as Duhamel started playing the role of a doting dad onscreen as well, he's shedding his heartthrob status. "I don't know if I even was a sex symbol. Maybe when I was younger, but I don't know. I don't feel so much of that anymore. I'm playing the dad of a 17-year-old kid," he laughs. "I'm that guy now. I don't really look at myself as that. It's all fleeting."
With gray hair in his sideburns and beard, Duhamel is a silver fox—some may even call him a 'DILF'—and he's embracing it. "My wife, she had her colorist over and she was like, 'Oh, I had her bring the coloring stuff.' I was like, 'What are you trying to say?'" The couple has been together for 13 years, which is practically an eternity in Hollywood. So what's their secret to making it last? He puts it simply and eloquently: "We genuinely like each other and have a lot of love for our son, and have a good time together. And that's about it."

Shooting for a Hole in One
Although his family is deeply rooted in Los Angeles now, when Duhamel first moved to California, he lived in the Bay Area—more specifically, in and around San Francisco. "I lived [there] for about a year and love it. It's like my favorite city in the country, it truly is. I just love the architecture. I love the culture, I love the food, I love the beauty… I would live there [again] if I could."
He does make an annual pilgrimage to Northern California each spring for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, a professional golf tournament on the PGA tour where golfers are paired up with celebrity amateurs. "It's a real honor to get that invite every year. It's like Christmas. You get this leather-bound invite, inviting you back, and I'm like, 'Yes, I'm going back another year!' Cypress Point and Pebble Beach and Spy Glass at Monterey, they're just such amazing golf courses." He adds, "I've played a lot of golf courses around the world and there's no better golf than out there. Those waves crashing against the rocks, overlooking the 18th hole at Pebble Beach, or just all the cypress trees, they're so haunting and beautiful—I love it. I just look forward to it every year."
Another bonus is donating the earnings to charity if he wins. And, although Duhamel has yet to make the leaderboard, he supports several important causes. He recently did a PSA for WildAid, the nonprofit that's attempting to stop the trade, trafficking and poaching of wild animals. "I try to look at it from the point of view of like, say you're an alien coming, say you go to a different planet and you find all these amazing creatures there and you look at, what, a giraffe or a tiger or a monkey. You know, there's so many amazing creatures on this planet and they're so specific to just here that we forget how precious they are and, I don't know, as an animal lover and a lover of our planet, I just feel like, if I can help bring some awareness to it, I'm gonna do it."

It's safe to assume that Duhamel doesn't do any hunting when he's at his little cabin in the woods, which he describes as his happy place. Instead, he's cleaning up the property, swimming in the nearby lake, spending time with his father, and eventually plans to take his son. "It's very simple, but it is so peaceful and serene and beautiful and quiet. Just so quiet and beautiful, I love it. It calms my mind."
He recalls a favorite memory there: "It was early in the spring and the water was still cold, but it was a beautiful day and it was hot out. I had this dock in the water—I was like, 'I'm jumping in!' I'd had the place for about a year and hadn't got in water yet. But we'd just put this new dock in, so I stripped down to my underwear, and I was like, 'Whoo whoo whoo!' and my dad was like, 'Be a brave soul!' I was like, 'Yeah, be a brave soul.' That's stuck with me ever since and I think of it often. 'Be a brave soul.'"
Those four words have clearly become his philosophy in life—and we can see they're absolutely paying off.

Assumed knowledge: None.
This tutorial was requested by XANABIOTICX and explains how to create your own music player for your blog or website using a little JavaScript and HTML. A finished version can be seen below with an accompanying album cover.
Choose the MP3 track that you want to use, and download audio-player.js and player.swf (right click and 'Save Link As'). You will need to host all three files on a server. You can either use your internet provider's server or a free webhosting site, such as 000webhost.com. Once you have signed up to a host, you will need to upload the files either by FTP or 000webhost.com's file manager.
If you are using your own server and FTP you can skip this step. To upload via 000webhost.com's file manager, login to the site and click 'Go to CPanel'. Click on the 'Another File Manager' link.
A new window will open up that is styled to look similar to a windows folder. Double click on the 'public_html' folder. Under 'File and Folder Tasks' click 'Create Directory', enter 'audio' as the folder name, then click 'ok'.
Double click on the 'audio' folder that has just been created. Under File and Folder Tasks' again, click 'Upload File': locate and upload your MP3 music file, audio-player.js and player.swf files.
Now that you have the three files uploaded, go to the blog/website/sidebar where you want to place the music player. Copy & paste the following code:
<*script language="JavaScript" src="http://yoursite.com/audio/audio-player.js">
<*object id="audioplayer1" data="http://yoursite.com/audio/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="260" height="24">
<*param value="http://yoursite.com/audio/player.swf" name="movie">
<*param value="playerID=1&soundFile=http://yoursite.com/audio/audioname.mp3" name="FlashVars">
<*param value="high" name="quality">
<*param value="false" name="menu">
<*param value="transparent" name="wmode">
You will need to remove all the red asterisks and replace the four instances of yoursite.com with your host's address. The width of the music player can be adjusted by changing the '260' to the desired length (in pixels). You will also need to replace audioname with the name of your MP3 file.
If you are unsure of your 000webhost.com address, go to the main page and use the full web address that appears under 'List of your domains'.
Save your blogpost/sidebar/website page. If you have followed the steps correctly, the audio player will function like the example one in this post and play your track. If you get stuck or come across any errors leave a comment!
If you also want to add an album cover or accompanying image above the music player, upload the image to your host or Photobucket account and add the following code:
<*img src="http:yourhost.com/image1.jpg" />
Remove the red asterisks and replace the bold text with the web address of your image.

Office of College Advancement
Ohlone College
Fremont, CA-More than 650 high school students will travel from as far as Grass Valley to participate in Ohlone College's 19th Annual High School Theatre Festival this month. The two-day festival takes place March 22-23, 2013 on the Ohlone College Fremont Campus, attracting high school students from over 22 schools across California.
The annual event is the largest high school theatre festival in northern California. It allows students from all over the Bay Area to participate in what the students describe as a "life-changing" performing arts marathon. More than 200 professionals, professors, and theater practitioners come together to make this an unforgettable day for these young thespians and theater technicians. 100+ awards are given to aspiring high school actors and techs performing in multiple categories including: one-acts, musical theater, contemporary and classical plays, original monologues, scenes, improv, video, dance, design and the very popular Tech Olympics.
Each student competes on the first day in hopes of qualifying for the finals held on the second day. Throughout the festival, judges provide students with both written and verbal critiques as they carefully select winners in the various categories. By participating in the festival, the high school students not only engage in theatre workshops and showcase their talents, they also earn a half-unit of college credit.
Now in its 19th year, the Annual Ohlone College High School Theatre Festival encourages young theater artists in their craft, allows them to interact with others who share the same passions, and introduces them to new and exciting material through energetic competition.

The Time Twisters Contest
Last year around this time, some of you will remember Bluesecrets and myself hosted the Job Mullers Contest. This year, the same crazy pair brings you the sequel!
However, the contest isn't about a non-existent job this time, that's so last year. No, this time your objective is a bit different, as the title of the contest already suggests. It's your turn to twist time itself.
You can pick any set from the history of LEGO, that isn't a Castle or otherwise medieval (Viking, Ninja) set. Now build what this set portrays in a medieval theme. Does this sound a bit vague to you? Check out this example where I "castlified" Star Wars set 7749:
click to enlarge
The Rules
1. Your entry must be new, and cannot have been published before the 6th of february 2010.
2. You may submit up to three pictures of your contest entry, the maximum size allowed for the images is 800x600 pixels in either orientation.
Keep in mind that Classic-Castle only allows images up to 400x300 pixels to be embedded in posts, so you'll have to link to your larger images. Thumbnails are allowed but not mandatory.
3. The deadline for this contest is the 28th of february at 23:59:59 GMT. Any entries posted after this time can unfortunately not be accepted.
4. Don't forget to provide a link to the original set (this does not count as one of your three entry pictures).
5. Your entry has to show the set that you're castlifying, and nothing more. No fancy mambo jambo on the side, we want to see the set.
6. No size restrictions! If you want to castlify a big set, go for it! (just keep in mind you'll have to show it all in 3 photos)
7. Custom minifigures, as well as non-LEGO string and stickers are allowed.
8. No suggestive imagery please, this website is accessable to people of all ages. The admins of Classic-Castle reserve the right to remove any contest entry that is against the Classic-Castle Terms of Service.
9. To enter, post your MOC here in this thread. You can also make your own presentation thread here in the MOCs forum, but you must post it in this thread to actually enter your entry.
The Prizes
Twisting and molding time to your own needs can be pretty profitable if done right. Check out what you can get:
1st place:
MISB 7041 - Troll Battle Wheel
2nd place:
MISB Brickmaster Castle Book
3rd place:
MISB 6193 Creator Castle Building Set

Following a bunch of great singles and a couple of EPs (Wimmy and Celebrate This Place) which were more than half-decent, Islet have now announced the release of their first full-length record. It is to be released on January 23 2012 through Shape/Turnstile and is called Illuminated People.
It was, we are told, mostly recorded on a Worcestershire farm and was the first time the band worked with an external producer, fact fans. We can also now hear a track from Illuminated People, which is 'This Fortune'. It can be downloaded directly from here or streamed below.

A quote from the book, "The Road to Happiness", by Mac Anderson and BJ Gallagher: "I believe that happiness is an attitude of gratitude; and I commit to giving thanks."
Enjoy the video further down…
"Happiness depends on ourselves." More than anybody else, Aristotle enshrines happiness as a central purpose of human life and a goal in itself. As a result he devotes more space to the topic of happiness than any thinker prior to the modern era.
"Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things it will come and sit softly on your shoulder." ~ Thoreau
"Being happy doesn't always mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections." ~ Unknown
"Happiness is when what you think, what you say and what you do are in harmony." ~
Mahatma Gandhi (1869 – 1948), Indian leader and politician
"The summit of happiness is reached when a person is ready to be what he is." ~ Desiderius Erasmus (1466 – 1536), Dutch humanist
"Happiness depends on yourselves." ~
Aristotle (384 BC – 322 BC), Greek philosopher
Let us all strive to travel our own road to happiness
with "The Happiness Creed".
Here in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada we have a long weekend to look forward to. Labour Day is also celebrated in the USA this weekend. Were looking forward to some glorious sunny and warm weather – hope you are also, wherever home is for you and that you have been inspired by the video and plan to share with others.

The far right has lately been gushing over the idea of getting Dr Ben Carson to run for president — he's their One Black Friend who believes in exactly the same things they do. Among his latest typical conservative faux pas, he recently compared gays to pedophiles and fans of bestiality, and has had to backtrack a little bit. Look at this beautiful not-pology:
If anyone was offended, I apologize to you. What I was basically saying is there is no group. I wasn't equating those things, I don't think they're equal. If you ask me for an apple and i give you an orange you would say, that's not an orange. And I say, that's a banana. And that's not an apple either. Or a peach, that's not an apple, either. It doesn't mean that i'm equating the banana and the orange and the peach.
The intelligence of Ronald Reagan, the eloquence of George W. Bush…please make him your candidate!
Oh, wait. Those two guys got elected. Uh-oh.

Almost half of U.S. employers say they're looking forward to their boomer workers' extended careers as older employees continue working past age 65, a report released Tuesday by BMO Retirement Services found.
Some of those benefits include a work force with demonstrated value and accumulated knowledge, especially when it comes to a particular knowledge set, Todd Perala (left), director of relationship management for BMO, told AdvisorOne on Thursday.
Just 4% of employers said their employees' longer careers would have a negative effect on the company, compared with 45% who said their company would benefit.
"Employers might prevent the opportunity to grow talent among younger workers," Perala said. "There's also the potential that, if a significant percentage of the work force is older, they may have more of a tendency to use medical benefits."
The majority of surveyed employers expect at least 30% of boomers will continue working past retirement age. Almost one-quarter of respondents expect more than half of boomers to do so. A June survey of 2,000 people between ages 23 and 82 by TD Ameritrade found 80% of workers expect to continue working in retirement, and a quarter of retirees returned to work.
"Although some companies will continue to offer buyouts and retirement packages to their older staff, our survey suggests that many businesses will be pleased to retain selected boomer employees," Perala said in a statement. "There appears to be a growing recognition in corporate America that employees in their 60s possess valuable institutional experience and expertise."
The study didn't ask respondents what steps, if any, their employers were taking to retain older workers, but Perala noted that he has seen employers proactively working to keep workers who are about to retire. He noted an employee in his own company who was able to retire and highly stressed in his position. To keep the worker in the company, his position was reduced to three days a week.
That kind of arrangement will be different for everyone, Perala said, but in his case, the worker was able to begin a mentoring process to help younger employees develop relationships with their customers.
"This is likely a prolonged period of phased retirements, where employees are thinking about retirement while not fully retired," Perala said. "One thing we haven't addressed as an industry is,'What happens if you have an extended transition from working to not working?"
BMO surveyed 412 retirement plan sponsors on its recordkeeping platform that have at least $2 million in trust assets.

There are a couple reasons for "WOO HOOS" this AM. First, I woke up to an email from a friend from an ebay forum/group that I belong to who offered to send me some much needed Book Sox!!! She keeps them (what a novel idea…must share that with Jon) and has a couple unused ones as well. That makes me smile and breathe a huge sigh of relief. Thanks Wendi, you ROCK!!
Second "WOOO HOOOO"…whatever was bothering my stomach yesterday has seemed to have gone away. At first I thought I had inadverantly come across some gluten. Then I thought that maybe it was the new Enjoy Life Cinnamon Granola that I had been eating (which, BTW, is awesome) or the Mary's Gone Crackers that I had tried (also amazing). But I had neither of those things yesterday and stuck to my normal diet and everytime I ate my stomach just ached. I laid down late afternoon and started to feel a little better, to the point I was actually hungry. So, I ate dinner. Bad idea. My stomach was killing me by the time I was done. It was weird. I wasn't nauseated, no intestinal stuff, just pain in my stomach. I remember feeling like this one other time about 7 or 8 years ago and whatever it was took me a week to get over. I literally had to eat so slowly that it took me over an hour to eat a half of a sandwich. I ended up going to bed very early (around 8:00 PM) and slept fairly well. I got up and didn't feel too bad. I grabbed a Lara Bar to eat before I hit the gym and ate it very slowly. I had a great work out and have now eaten breakfast too and I feel great! Phew!!! So, hopefully, whatever it was, virus, gluten, who knows, it is gone!
Back to the Enjoy Life Granola for a moment. I bought this the other day b/c it was on sale and I wanted something new to top my GF Oatmeal or just snack on. This stuff is really good! It doesn't have any oats in it at all. The list of ingredients are as follows:
Brown Rice Flakes; Rice Bran; Evaporated Cane Juice; Brown Rice Syrup; Raisins*; Water; Tapioca Flour; Cinnamon; Gum Arabic; Vanilla; Molasses; Ground Flaxseed; Rosemary Extract.
Jon likes the granola as well, though you can't get the raisins past him! LOL! He picks those out, but eats the rest. This stuff would be really good on top of vanilla ice cream or yogurt, too. 🙂 So, if you have been thinking about trying this stuff, the Cinnamon Crunch is good. I have yet to try the others. I may give them a try, but don't see Jon doing the Cranapple or Very Berry. If he won't eat raisins, I don't see him eating the dried berries.
Off to the movies today. I am taking Hannah to see Mamma Mia and Jon and his friend will go see something more "manly".

Some nice weekend coverage for our kissing cousins over at Adafruit, who are banking hard on the future of DIY wearable electronics with their new FLORA wearable Arduino-compatible microcontroller. The article, which published online Saturday and in print Sunday, includes a tasty quote from a familiar face:
Becky Stern, who leads the company's wearable electronics group, will develop projects and kits based on it for crafters. "Pop stars have costumes made by ateliers at huge cost," Ms. Stern says, adding that her company's products would "let you make these electronic wearables at home for a fraction of that."
Though I can't wait to see what Becky comes up with, I'm still a bit on the fence about wearables. Tons of cool stuff happening in that space, for sure, but I haven't seen anything that would count, for me, as a "killer app" yet. Or did I miss it? Let me know, below.

It's not every day that you see a watch strap made out of natural cork. We fell in love with them the first time we got to check them out in the flesh. Cork is a remarkable product in that it's sustainable, water resistant, and actually quite flexible, which makes for a good watch strap material.
These straps are completely hand cut and assembled in Portugal, so please expect some slight variance in the tolerances. They are available in very limited quantities.
Sizing note: These straps are approx. 115/70mm, and fit wrists approx. 6" to 7.25" with 5 sizing holes. One additional hole can be added by request.

I have a Jpanel with some widgets on it that I created in Netbeans IDE as a new class ApcUps_Panel
As I detect different APC UPS's sending a UPD broadcast on the network, I want to add one ApcUps_Panel inside a Jframe for each UPS seen on the network.
I am a beginner to Java.
In a nutshell how would I do this?
AcUps_Panel myApcUps_Panel = new ApcUpsPanel();
will create a new jpanel object right?
I need to give it a UPS name feild and draw it on the Jframe at the top down such that each Jpanel is added beloow the last one and a vert scroll bar is created when the JFrame reached the limit of the desktop.
The Jframe should also grow vertically.

So I'm thinking that the fact that this thread and this thread both exist means that we should act to prevent sheer EXHAUSTION. There's a ton of info coming at us, and I want to make sure we don't lose anybody.
My idea is to create one thread for each character with updates specifically on facts and conjecture, labelling each as such. This would be kind of like a tiny streamlined Timeline for each character. It wouldn't go into detail of "THIS POST HAPPENED HERE" because you could just have a different thread for discussing that. But that would make it easier for new people and for people who want to stay on top of everything.
Now, I can't do this alone - Joe's the content guy, and I'm mainly around for basic moderation/admin purposes. So I'd like to invite 2 or 3 forumites to become mods for the forum. This would mainly consist of (un)locking threads that ought to be (un)locked, keeping up to date on one or two characters, and updating their Cheat Sheets when necessary.
If you are interested, PM me and I'll have a few mods picked sometime tomorrow.

Ice carving competition scheduled for Jan. 7 in Jackson
18th annual event set for 10 a.m.
Their medium is ice and their work never lasts.
But top carvers from around New England will return for the 18th annual Great Ice Carvers of New England Invitational Ice Carving Competition at The Wentworth Hotel at 10 a.m. Monday, Jan. 7.
This exciting event allows competitors three hours to transform a 300-pound block of ice into a work of art.
Each participant may have his or her tools of preference, but expect to see chain saws, chisels, picks and blow torches as the birds, animals, buildings and other creations come to life on the front porch of this elegant turn-of-the century New England inn.
Fritz Koeppel, the owner and general manager of The Wentworth, said he enjoys having all the vacationers, residents and school children at the competition as the participants transform blocks of ice into art.
"The sculptures enhance the beauty of The Wentworth both day and night," Koeppel said.
Several years ago, special lighting and display stands were installed for optimum nighttime viewing of the finished sculptures.
Each year hundreds of cars and strollers slowly pass by in the evenings to view these fleeting works of art.
There are still some openings for the competition, if you would like to try your hand at it.
Prizes include $500 for first place, $250 for second and third prize is an overnight stay for two in one of our Jacuzzi Suites with a fireplace, four-course dinner and full country breakfast.
The Wentworth has added a new category this year: The People's Choice Award. A $100 prize will be awarded for that category.
The awards ceremony will take place in the lobby of The Wentworth.
Anyone who is interested should contact Kathleen DeVitto, Sales Administrator at The Wentworth at 603-383-9700 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.

When Jackie Fox was diagnosed with ductal carcinoma in situ, her doctor explained that DCIS is very early stage—so early it's classified as stage zero. That was the good news. The bad news is it can become life-threatening if not treated, and treatment is the same as for more aggressive cancers. When Fox's oncologist tried to reassure her by saying it's not "real" cancer, she said, "It's close enough. Somebody sign me up for the fake mastectomy!"
From Zero To Mastectomy grew from a series of essays Fox wrote for the Omaha World-Herald about her experience. It details her journey from attempts at breast-conserving surgery, to her aha! moment while trying to choose between mastectomy and radiation, to nuts and bolts of recovery and reconstruction. (Hint: Clothes shopping before you've regained your range of motion is not the best idea.) Fox came to think of it as an adventure, which G.K. Chesterton called "only an inconvenience rightly considered," because cancer gave her so much more than it took away—gratitude for her husband, doctors, family and friends, and for unexpected moments of humor. It even became an unlikely but welcome muse. However, From Zero to Mastectomy is not just a "mammoir." The final chapter is an interview with Fox's "Dream Team"—her family doctor, general surgeon, oncologist and plastic surgeon, who share their insights and answer questions women ask most often.

VPN and Endpoint Security Client -- Dynamic Multipoint VPN
Dynamic Multipoint VPN (DMVPN) is a Cisco IOS Software solution for building scalable IPsec Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Cisco DMVPN uses a centralized architecture to provide easier implementation and management for deployments that require granular access controls for diverse user communities, including mobile workers, telecommuters, and extranet users.
Cisco DMVPN allows branch locations to communicate directly with each other over the public WAN or Internet, such as when using voice over IP (VOIP) between two branch offices, but doesn't require a permanent VPN connection between sites. It enables zero-touch deployment of IPsec VPNs and improves network performance by reducing latency and jitter, while optimizing head office bandwidth utilization.Benefits
- Lowers capital and operational expenses -- Reduces costs in integrating voice, video with VPN security
- Simplifies branch communications -- Enables direct branch-to-branch connectivity for business applications like voice
- Reduces deployment complexity -- Offers a zero-touch configuration, dramatically reducing the deployment complexity in VPNs
- Improves business resiliency -- Prevents disruption of business-critical applications and services by incorporating routing with standards-based IPsec technology

Bouncer accused of kicking, punching patrons faces charges
4 people sent to hospital after club brawl
A bouncer was in court Tuesday to face assault and battery and weapons charges after a fight at a Boston club early Sunday.
Sidney Phillips, 31, of Avon, was charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon. He pleaded not guilty and remains out on bail.
Police were called to the Grand Canal on Canal Street at about 1:30 a.m. Sunday after a fight broke out when someone in one party accidentally bumped a woman in another group while taking a picture.
As the party of about 10 people was removed from the club, several of them said they were physically assaulted by the bouncer, police said. Four people said they received injuries when they were kicked, punched and choked by the bouncer as he removed them from the club.
Police said at least four people – two men and two women in their 20s -- had visual injuries to their faces and heads and they were taken to Massachusetts General Hospital.
The clubgoers identified Phillips as the person who assaulted them, police said.
Police also said a cellphone video shows the assault taking place.
The Grand Canal Bar was given a suspension last week for a separate incident involving the same bouncer, according to the Boston Licensing Board.
The club said Phillips was no longer works there.
The Boston Licensing Board is investigating the incident.

Here is what Raiders coach Dennis Allen had to say after he put his players through a two-hour practice in Alameda today:
Q: What did you like today?
A: Well I thought the guys were flying around again. I thought the execution was pretty good and so I think overall I've been pleased. I think when you're the head coach and you come off a practice you want the defense to look good at times and the offense to look good at times and I think we did that today.
Q: Does it get any better than ending practice with an interception?
A: (Laughs). Yeah I've got to take a more well-rounded approach to it now, but yeah I thought both sides of the ball made plays today and I was pleased with that.
Q: How are you going to approach Rolando's situation?
A: Well I think really right now as we look at it, Rolando's part of our family, he's part of our team. We're going to let the whole process play out before we do anything and once the whole legal proceedings are finished then we'll determine what if any action we need to take.
Q: Would you be more inclined to wait for the NFL to take action or could the Raiders decide to … ?
A: I think we're going to let the legal proceedings play out and then we'll see where it's at.
Q: I know to start the year both you and Reggie McKenzie talked about how you're morals guys, too. You want your players to represent the brand. Have you had private talks with Rolando about what you expect from him?
A: We've talked to all the players about that. And I think all the players understand what we expect out of them. And I think the think we've also got to understand is that we're starting anew. We're not going to take into account past sins necessarily for everybody's actions. But I think everybody knows what the standard is around here and we're going to expect people to uphold that standard.
Q: With the uncertainty though of a potential suspension, lengthy trial, potential incarceration, do you have to have a Plan B at middle linebacker? Even if you do let this thing play out?
A: Well you have to have a plan no matter what in the National Football League. Injuries always occur and you have to have a plan and we have plans in place to take into account all that stuff.
Q: Goethel's a guy who's flashed on two different defensive coordinators in two years and then gotten hurt and not been able to play. What have you seen so far?
A: Well I think if he can stay healthy I think he's got a chance to be a pretty good player for us. I've been pleased with the way he's been out here working and we'll continue to have him get better one day at a time and if he does that he'll have a chance.
Q: On the field, what are the things Rolando needs to do to get better?
Allen: I think really just in general, I think some of the coverage aspect, are places he needs to work. I think he's done a real good job from a leadership standpoint. I think he's very instinctive. He's smart out there. He's taken command of the huddle. Those things I've been pleased with. Physically, I think as you look at him, I think what he needs to improve on, and he knows this, is a little bit of the pass coverage aspect.
Q: Is he behind after not being here at practice?
Allen: No. he's not behind at all. He's actually ahead. He's really smart. He understands the defense and he's done a real good job in that regard.
Q: Had stem cell treatments, see him moving better than he did on film last year?
Allen: I think he's moving around good. Obviously he had some injuries last year. I've been pleased with everything I've seen out of Rolando this whole offseason.
Q: Anything want to see out of each OTA session?
Allen: It's nothing specific. I said this from Day 1 and I'll say this until the season's over with. We want to get better one day at a time, one step at a time, and if we do that, at the end of the day we'll like the results.
Q: Is your progress meeting your expectations?
Allen: I think it's been good so far.
Q: D-Moore, Aaron Curry . . .
Allen: Most of the guys you saw over there have little soft tissue injuries, hamstrings, groins, that type of stuff. It's more of a precautionary measure than it is anything else, especially during this time of year.
Q: Mike Mitchell injury significant enough that he can't come out?
Allen: He's got a knee injury that he's been rehabbing and I don't look for him to participate for a little while now.
Q: Tommy Kelly?
Allen: Tommy Kelly had some personal things to take care of back home and so he missed today.
Q: Manase Tonga hasn't been out last week or this week?
Allen: Same thing, kind of a little scope on his knee, he'll be fine. We expect him back, if not for the next OTA, then for sure by the minicamp.
Q: Any progress getting Marcel Reece in?
Allen: I haven't heard anything. Again, it's kind of the same situation. It's obviously a voluntary situation and we're hoping we'll see him pretty soon.
Q: Strange to have a situation for a younger guy to be away . . .
Allen: I certainly would hope that he would get in here pretty soon. He needs to get caught up to what we're doing.
Q: Comment on Matt Shaughnessy's timetable?
A: He brings some physicalness, aggressiveness, some experience. I would expect he'll be full go for training camp but you probably won't see much of him before then.
Q: Any reason no emblems on helmet?
A: We just started off that way. If anything, we'll all earn the right to wear that symbol.
Q: Miles Burris?
A: Miles Burris has done a nice job. Like any rookie his head is swimming a little bit. He has a lot to learn but I've been pleased with the way he's been progressing.
Q: Early impressions of Goodson?
A: Good athlete. Has some speed, some running skill, been really impressed with him. From the mental standpoint he's done a nice job. Obviously I think there's something to work with with him.
Q: Matt Giordano brings a smile to your face?
A: Matt's a great guy and he's great for the team, great for the locker room. He's one of those guys he's a true team player. He wants to do anything he can to help the team win. He's smart, instinctive, knows how to play the game. He's a welcome addition.
Q: What do you see from Tyvon that you like?
A: I think the way that he plays the game with the speed, the effort, the tenacity. He enjoys playing the game of football and he's as good an athlete as you could hope for. With our safeties we have pretty good athletes that we can do a lot with.
Q: See him taking on leadership role?
A: I think it's still new for Tyvon. He hasn't been here a long time. He's developing every day. Again just like everything else I want to see him take one step at a time in that leadership role and see if he can get better in that every day.
Q: Can Ausberry be every down tight end this season?
A: I don't want to put a timetable on it as to when he will develop until a full-time player. I think he definitely has that ability to. If he keeps getting better we'll play that out as we get through training camp and kind of see where we're at.
Q: Where is he in terms of blocking or do you need to wait until camp?
A: When we'll put on the pads we'll find out where he's at as far as that is concerned.
Q: How does it help having two safeties with experience coverage/slot etc
A: Tremendously. I mean the safeties are the guys in the secondary–they make all your calls back there, they make all your checks back there and having guys with experience that have done it before really helps
Q: And the flexibility in that they've both covered guys does that give you flexibility
A: Absolutely, every time you can keep your regular guys out there on the field and have safeties you feel good about covering or TW, RB, WR – it gives you more flexibility
Q Is Ron Bartell 100% with neck injury, etc
A: He's shown he's completely back. You know, I think it took him a little time to get his legs back under him, but he's seems to be back. And we'll find out more about him, again, when we start putting the pads on and get a chance to hit a bit
Q: What have you seen from him so far?
A: The type of athlete that he is. He's a big athletic corner that can run, and that's what we were looking for and that's what we got in him.
Q: What about the new QB (Newhall-Caballero)?
A: I don't think we bring in anyone that's just for charity. We bring in guys that we think have a chance to compete and have a chance to be decent football players. And that's what I think about him. That was the plan all along, to bring in a 4th quarterback. We wanted to bring 4 to camp, to make sure we did have 4 arms and I think Kyle will do a nice job there
Q: What does he do well, what do you like about Kyle Newhall-Caballero?
A: I think he's smart, he's athletic and he's got a strong arm.
Q: As first time head coach, what have you learned so far?
A: Well, I've learned everyday is something different. I wake up every morning, get excited about coming to work, and find our what everybody has in store for me. It's been good. You know, I'm learning more as we go, and how to deal with both sides of the ball. I've been used to dealing with defense so much, but learning offense and special teams as we go, has been a lot of fun.
Q: Any guys in these OTAs that surprise you with their progress?
A: I think there's been a lot of guys that have made some progress. I don't know if I want to – for fear– I don't want to leave anyone out – but in general I have been really pleased with the progress from all of our guys
Q: Is Burris strictly on the outside?
I think right now with the learning curve we're going to keep him outside LB and let him get his feet wet and then we'll figure where he's at probably closer to training camp, and even closer to the beginning of the season

Computer Graphics in the Study of Master Paintings and Drawings: Three-Dimensional Virtual Worlds Behind the Two-Dimensional Masterpieces
Friday, 17 December | 4:15 PM - 6:00 PM | Auditorium Presented in English, translated simultaneously to Korean / 영어로 발표 됨 (한국어 동시 통역)
Presented in English, translated simultaneously to Korean / 영어로 발표 됨 (한국어 동시 통역)
Computer graphics models of artists' studios allow scholars to address a number of vexing problems in the history and interpretation of art, particularly those related to old masters' working methods. Recent studies have used this modeling technique to analyze how some of the world's most famous paintings were created:
• A model of Jan van Eyck's Portrait of Arnolfini and his wife exposed perspective inaccuracies that are difficult to discern by the unaided eye. The model also confirmed that the focal length of the convex mirror in the painting was much shorter than a putative projection mirror for this work. Both results led to rejection of the claim that this work was executed by tracing optical projections.
• The lighting direction estimated in a model of Jan Vermeer's Girl With a Pearl Earring agreed closely with directions estimated by five other sources within the painting, objectively revealing this artist's mastery in rendering the effects of light and supporting the claim that this work was executed with a live model, not from the artist's imagination.
• A model of Georges de la Tour's Christ in the Carpenter's Studio confirmed that the light in the tableau was at the candle, rather than "in place of the other figure", and this, in turn, led to a rejection of the claim that this painting was executed using optical projections.
• A model of Parmigianino's Self Portrait in a Convex Mirror revealed that the warped image is consistent with the artist faithfully recording the image of a rectilinear room distorted by the mirror, rather than inventing a fictive space. The model also reveals that the work may be hung too high in its gallery home.
This talk, profusely illustrated with art works and movies of computer graphics models of artists' studios, explains the steps by which computer experts and art scholars build such computer graphics models, the types of assumptions that are brought to bear, and the strengths and limitations of the overall methodology. The talk concludes with a number of unsolved problems in the history of art that seem amenable to these computer graphics methods.

From May 19 to June 9, 2011, P&W-supported poet D. E. Connelly, author of the manuscript "A Twisted Balance: One-Line Haiku & a Few Senryu," taught a haiku workshop at the Armory Park Senior Center in Tucson, Arizona. We asked her to say a few words about the experience.
The poet-sage Matsuo Bashō, born 1644, wrote in memoriam of a friend, "never think of yourself / as someone who did not count— / festival of the souls." Ueda translated this Japanese haiku into English. The poet-artist Marlene Mountain, born 1939, wrote "white sugar white flour white male"—no translation necessary: It was originally written in U.S. English. Mountain's haiku reflects the three word-cluster device of classic one-line Japanese haiku as well as its device of image juxtaposition: The first and second word clusters are specific images; the third word cluster, "white male," is metaphoric, resembling one (including males of color and all females) who, offering no nourishment, choose instead to promote oppressive practices that strip people and things of their inherent value. As Bashō's tone was of his time and place, Mountain's is of ours—and each poet agitates the soul: Will I be remembered? How will I remembered?
Poets & Writers remembered those of us in the Arizona desert at a time when recognition of each individual's contribution was being white-washed. With its support and encouragement, the Armory Park Senior Center in Tucson was able to host In The Spirit of Haiku: Three Workshops & A Public Reading. Like water in the desert, sponsorship of a poetry workshop at the Center is wonderful, but rare.
Workshop One, focusing on the haiku of Bashō (as translated by Sato), reviewed the classic poetic devices compressed within this seemingly simple one-line poem (e.g., two unequal phrases; a strong cutting word between; each phrase with its own specific imagery, which might portray the "what," "when," and "where" of the poet's experience; a seasonal reference—all combined to best convey emotion in a syntax natural to the poet).
Workshop Two, focusing on the haiku of Marlene Mountain, explored how the initial haiku in U.S. English (introduced, arguably, in the 1950s) evolved into what is currently promoted in English as a form of ten-to-fourteen syllables. Throughout, but mostly in Workshop Three, attendees shared original work: One participant incorporated calligraphy; another haibun; another read haiku in German, demonstrating how sound patterns, even without sense, can convey emotion.
The public reading gave participants a chance to interact with an audience, which included a few people in their twenties from Tucson Youth Development. One youth was deeply moved by an elder's seasonal allusion of being in her life's "December," with feet on fire from pain as well from an urgency to experience fully and profoundly what remains of her life.
A deep bow to Poets & Writers, the workshop participants, the audience, as well as the Armory Park Senior Center who published the participants' haiku in its July newsletter.

Support for Readings/Workshops events in Tucson is provided by an endowment established with generous contributions from the Poets & Writers Board of Directors and others. Additional support comes from the Friends of Poets & Writers.
