Late Wednesday, I read on HuffPost that AT&T has changed their stance and will now be allowing users to make VoIP calls with their iPhones over 3G. This is great news. After just a little bit of FCC prodding in late summer, AT&T is loosening a little in its innovative (syn?) stranglehold which has thus far limited iPhone owners in using our magical devices to their full potential. On September 25th, AT&T also opened up an innovative new feature in the world of mobile devices - MMS for iPhone. Of course, we're still innately limited by AT&T thanks to their 3G network. All in all however, I do believe that AT&T is making a push to fix its image among iPhone owners. Perhaps this is in anticipation of a Verizon iPhone to be coming next summer?

The next step is for Apple to go ahead and follow the route of their exclusive carrier and approve the Google Voice app. From Engadget: The original reason Apple rejected the GV App, according to Google's response to the FCC inquiry, was "Apple believed the application duplicated the core dialer functionality of the iPhone. The Apple representatives indicated that the company did not want applications that could potentially replace such functionality." Apple has insisted otherwise. "Apple has not rejected the Google Voice application and we continue to discuss it with Google." It's clear that there was either a phenomenal misunderstanding between Apple and Google in their discussions or that someone is not being entirely honest in their public statements.

AT&T's change of heart will now put the pressure on Apple to get this app approved and I'm thinking we'll be seeing it in the coming weeks. With that, I'm hoping that I'll finally begin using my Google Voice number and all of the awesomeness that comes along with it. If you donno, check it out below.

Google Voice is the revolutionary service that provides its users with one phone number for eternal use. You give this one phone number out to everyone you know and when they call you, it will ring all of the phones that you want it to ring (cell, home, work, a random payphone?) It also transcribes (poorly) voicemail in a "gmailesque" web interface, allows users to send free SMS messages and allows users to listen in on their callers' messages while their being left, amongst many more features. Watch the video below to find out more.

Dershowitz responds to M/W
I swear, if I see any more articles -- even alleged straight news pieces! -- that prominently feature the fact that David Duke "approves" of the Mearsheimer/Walt (M/W) paper, I'm going to scream. It is such a red herring!
But more importantly, framing the paper through the "Duke lens" is perhaps one of the more blatant examples of bias I've seen recently in the press. That it seems to be systemic is all the more telling.
Alas, I also see that Alan Dershowitz has written a 45 page rebuttal to M/W -- or, rather, had his research assistants cobble together a response, which he then arranged or edited in some way.
Please, if you have time, read it. If this is what passes as a legitimate response, no wonder people sympathetic to or aligned with the Israel lobby are a bit nervous.
Here's the abstract:
The working paper by Academic Dean and Professor Stephen Walt and Professor John Mearsheimer presents a conspiratorial view of history in which the Israel Lobby has a "stranglehold" on American foreign policy, the American media, think tanks and academia. In his response, Professor Alan Dershowitz demonstrates that the paper contains three types of major errors: quotations are wrenched out of context, important facts are misstated or omitted; and embarrassingly weak logic is employed. One of the authors of this paper has acknowledged that "none of the evidence represents original documentation or is derived from independent interviews." In light of the paper's errors, and its admitted lack of originality, Dershowitz asks why these professors would have chosen to publish a paper that does not meet their usual scholarly standards, especially given the risk – that should have been obvious to "realists" - that recycling these charges under their imprimatur of prominent authors would be featured, as they have been, on extremist websites. Dershowitz questions the authors claims that people who support Israel do not want "an open debate on issues involving Israel." He renews his challenge to debate the issues.I know it's a bit shaky to cite the abstract and pick at that, but it does provide you with a brief shorthand of what's wrong with Dershowitz's response. Do read the entire paper, though. It is long, but that's because a very significant percentage of it is fluff. The last third of it is the only part with any real meat.
Regarding Dershowitz's main claims:
"quotations are wrenched out of context"
Dear lord. Go ahead and read Dershowitz's own introduction, flipping back and forth between his quotes and the original M/W rendering. I'd suggest there's more distortion in the first three pages of Dershowitz than in the entire 80+ page M/W paper.
"important facts are misstated or omitted"
Generally speaking, this is bullshit criticism. It's the type of complaint that can go either way; it's just a nasty way of saying authors contextualize things differently.
To make things worse, Dershowitz expends quite a bit of effort making irrelevant points and he also misrepresents what M/W say a number of times, something that you might not pick up on unless you backcheck quotes or peruse the M/W footnotes.
"embarrassingly weak logic is employed"
I have nothing to say about this. That's for you, the reader, to discern.
I will say, however, that Dershowitz's citations on this point (particularly the anti-Semitism/French Catholics nitpicking on p. 15) are a bit bizarre.
"One of the authors of this paper has acknowledged that 'none of the evidence represents original documentation or is derived from independent interviews.' In light of the paper's errors, and its admitted lack of originality, Dershowitz asks why these professors would have chosen to publish a paper that does not meet their usual scholarly standards, especially given the risk – that should have been obvious to 'realists' - that recycling these charges under their imprimatur of prominent authors would be featured, as they have been, on extremist websites."
hahahahahahaha. I'm sorry, I had to pick myself up off the floor after this one.
The M/W paper, admittedly, is a synthesis of secondary sources with a bit of primary sources from news clippings thrown in. Not an uncommon sight in academia, especially from more senior scholars. It boggles the mind that Dershowitz is implying there's something wrong with this sort of an essay. Is he at all familiar with scholastic norms?
Plus, the rather delicious subtext here is that Dershowitz is probably the last man on earth who should be complaining about the "originality" of someone's work or whether it's "derived" independently.
As you know, Finkelstein hung Dershowitz out to dry for channeling Joan Peters, some 20 years later. Dershowitz got away with that, though, which seems to say a lot about the way academia works, particularly at Harvard.
Lastly, the charge that M/W cite material that can be found on "extremist websites" is, yes, another red herring. You should judge the material on its own merits, like any honest scholar would implore you to do.
"Dershowitz questions the authors claims that people who support Israel do not want 'an open debate on issues involving Israel.' He renews his challenge to debate the issues."
Ah, yes. The call for open debate coming from a man who threatened publishing houses and lobbied the Governor of California to prevent the publication of a book that happened to expose his "scholarship" as crude propaganda. I'm sure he's sincere here, though.
In any case, Dershowitz always says he wants an open debate, but the tone of his response doesn't seem to provide much space for that. Indeed, a rather significant portion of his rebuttal is devoted to smearing M/W by association.
At first, I was relatively lukewarm about the M/W paper. I agreed with their general take on the Palestine-Israel conflict, but thought they attributed too much agency to the Israel Lobby simply by not adequately examining other factors motivating US policy or the sway of other lobbies and interest groups. On this point, Dershowitz and I even agree.
Still, I feel a need to stand up for M/W because they're getting unfairly attacked on a number of levels. Their paper is not a useless piece of trash, or some recycled anti-Semitic drivel, as its detractors would like you to believe. What it adds, potentially, to our dialogue about US-Israel-Palestine policy far outweighs any of its negative points or blind spots.
I bother mentioning Dershowitz's paper because it is, thus far, the most substantial piece to attempt to refute M/W. If you've been paying attention to the push back articles from fellow travelers of "The Lobby" (Camera, TNR, etc.), you'll notice that many of the same points they've raised are in Dershowitz's paper (what's that about originality, you say?).
The main issue here is that the people fighting back against M/W are largely doing so to squash debate on this topic, and force people to cower into submission and hope the M/W paper recedes into the night. Thus far, that's worked. Few people have stood up to defend M/W (including, one might say, themselves) and the normative flak you'd expect to see when a paper like this gets published is popping up faster than it can be beaten back, whack-a-mole style.

Energy savers
Fred Fellendorf doesn't see windows, heating systems and light fixtures when he walks into a building.
He sees opportunities.
Opportunities, in this case, are for his clients to turn their building into a model of energy efficiency or green-friendly and, at the same time, may be save a few O&M dollars or open the door for some public sector-driven incentives or tax credits.
Fellendorf and his business partner, Ken Kazmierczak, are energy specialists.
"I walk into a building and see lighting that's out of control or windows that are letting money and energy sneak out through cracks in the frame," Fellendorf said.
Buffalo Energy is one of the region's few state-certified energy assessors and auditors. Theirs is a specialized business that can save their clients money and energy.
Buffalo Energy falls into the middle category. Many larger engineering firms have energy analysts on staff as to some of the larger home building firms.
"But, there's no one in the middle and that's where we come in," Fellendorf said.
Company history: While Buffalo Energy was formed last year, both Fellendorf and Kazmierczak have experience in the environmental side of the building industry.
"We were working for competing organizations, but we talked a lot, especially about energy conservation matters," Fellendorf said.
After working for others, the pair decided to branch out on their own. They've never looked back.
The firm is one of the few in the region that is certified by both the Building Performance Institute and Residential Network to conduct energy audits. The company's stamp of approval can pave the way for clients to receive state or federal tax credits and incentives from programs operated by the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority.
Who's who: Besides Fellendorf and Kazmierczak, Buffalo Energy's staff includes Rob Marshall, a licensed first class stationary engineer who specializes in energy reduction audits.
For every job, Buffalo Energy subcontracts out with other firms. A typical job will see two two-men teams conduct energy audits of a building.
Revenues: Between $450,000 and $500,000 this year and projections of $1.2 million next year.
Changing direction: When Fellendorf and Kazmierczak started Buffalo Energy, they thought the bulk of their business would come from individual home owners. They were wrong.
"There were a lot of small jobs that required a lot of running around and not a lot of money," Fellendorf said.
Through word of mouth and referrals from organizations like NYSERDA, Buffalo Energy began picking up more commercial clients.
Buffalo Energy's crew is state-certified in the Multi-Family Performance program that offers incentives to apartment building owners and developers for instituting energy-efficient and green initiatives in their complexes.
While Buffalo Energy still does individual residential work, the bulk of the company's clients are now commercial entities. Apartment owners represents the largest growth area for the company.
"They need someone like us to get the credits and incentives," Fellendorf said. "If you follow our recommendations, you will see a payback. Building owners hear about the incentives through NYSERDA and they know we provide the necessary audits that give them access to the incentives."
Start up costs: Fellendorf estimated Buffalo Energy spent nearly $30,000 to get all of its necessary certifications and another $30,000 in equipment.
Common findings: When the Buffalo Energy crews enter a building for the first time, they can usually pinpoint where a landlord is using excess energy. The obvious places are inadequate lighting or fixtures, out-of-date HVAC systems, leaks in the windows and various water conservation methods.
But, before they even enter the building, Fellendorf, Kazmierczak or Marshall review the building's energy bills for the past year to get a handle on its energy usage.
"You never walk into a building cold," Fellendorf said. "Our basic audit produces its own set of questions."
When entering the building, one of the two-men team heads to the basement to look at the HVAC system while the other walks the common areas and then the individual rooms conducting air leakage tests and infrared scans of the facility's shell. The data is compiled and reviewed and a report is issued within a matter of two or three weeks.
What's new? Fellendorf said he gets at least one call or email a day about geo thermal systems for heating and cooling a building. Geo thermal is a complex system that extracts ground heat to warm a building in the winter and then extracts the heat to cool the building in the summer.
The savings can be significant.
A traditional furnace may provide about 90 cents worth of heat for every dollar spent while a geo thermal system provides $3.50 worth of heat for that same dollar.
"It is becoming one of the most sought after items," Fellendorf said.

Eat, Pray, Love is the autobiographical story of the author's life over the span of one year. You are allowed glimpses into her past to better understand the choices she is making during this year, but mainly it is the chronology of her year of self-discovery and self-healing. (I know that sounds cliche-ish, but trust me, it's OK!)
A successful writer and journalist, the author goes through a drawn-out and ugly divorce, and decides to spend a year of her life exploring three countries she has felt drawn to during this tough period of her life - Italy, India, and Indonesia. The book is written in three distinct parts. I just finished part one, Italy, which (no surprise here) is also the "eat" section of the book. After I finished that part, I felt the need to set it down and digest (no pun intended but there you are) the first section.
This woman has a wonderfully wacky sense of humor that I relate to so very well. I tend to read pretty late at night, on the couch with the dog curled up next to me. I giggled, snorted and laughed so many times while reading this that Colby would frequently raise his head and look at me, clearly wondering what in the world was going on with his noisy owner.
Early on in the book she talks about praying for the first time as an adult. She found herself crying on the bathroom floor, night after night, while still married but trying to come to terms with the idea of divorce. One night she looked up, and through her sobs, and with tears streaming down her face, she thought maybe she should turn to God. It seems, she thought to herself, that she had heard somewhere that people did that in times of despair. OK, so I guess you have to read the book yourselves to get the full force of that scene, but here she is telling about the lowest point of her life but she still has the ability to see, and point out unselfconsciously, the humor in it.
I am truly loving this book. Hmm, I'm feeling a bit deja vu-ish here as I seem to remember writing "I love this book" once or twice before on this blog. This book is different, though. Yes, it's entertaining, but it's also thought-provoking and challenging in that you can't help but examine your own life and your own choices as you read about hers.
So, stay tuned for parts two and three, as I travel to India and Indonesia with the author.

Dixie Fish Co. slated to open on 280 in September
Seafood restaurant Dixie Fish Co. is scheduled to open on Sept. 7, according to news reports.
The restaurant, which will take the former Bahama Breeze location, features seafood and Southern-themed offerings from manager Mason Jambon and chef Gregg Collier.
AL.com reports the pair previously ran the "busiest seafood restaurant in New Orleans," and saw an opportunity to fill a void in Birmingham.
The restaurant joins a quickly developing U.S. 280 corridor, including the new Grandview Medical Center with plans for accompanying medical office buildings and nearby Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen.

Once my mother believes she needs something, there are no alternatives. And she can't consider the benefits of deferring to accommodate someone else. It's a straight and unbreakable line from the emergence of her need and its fulfillment, typically at someone else's hand.
So when she asked me to do her laundry on my wedding day, I knew what to expect from her – she never stops until she gets what she believes she must have – and even though I didn't have time to do her laundry, didn't want to abandon my kids or my guests to do her laundry and could hardly believe she was insisting on this business in the midst of such an important day for me, I wanted to avoid the emergence of the frantic face and the escalating tone that suggest I was refusing to let her come in from a raging blizzard as a surging pack of snarling wolves snapped at her paper-thin jacket, ready to drag her into the dark and forbidden forest and eat her alive. It would take more time and effort to override Mother logic with any other point of view than it would take to just do the damn laundry.
It was the same dynamic when she arrived for the wedding. She landed at rush hour on the Thursday before the wedding and expected me to pick her up at the airport. She could have taken a cab, but I knew if I suggested this transportation option she would panic and act like I'd condemned her to crawling to my house on her knees.
And when she announced that I needed to do her laundry, I gave up pretty quickly and washed her unsoiled clothes. And, yes, when she asked what I had done with the "special bag" she brought her clothes in, instead of resisting, I just went back down to the basement to get the stupid plastic laundry bag from the Marriott.
My compliance with this sort of demand is the core of my relationship with my mother. I want to protect my relationship with her even as I resent the terms. You're probably thinking that I should stop enabling her and then complaining about it. But it has not proved possible for me (or anyone else) to have a relationship with her unless I am meeting her needs through tasks such as the laundry, through solving problems for her or through conversations that are limited to the topics she likes. I learned to love baseball because my sons did; my mother just can't do that.
We are all supposed to be glad to do things for her. It's not bossy or mean-spirited demands. She is not Cinderella's step-mother. She executes an impervious war of attrition against our needs and our will, the existence of which are invisible to her anyway.
We her children have come to realize that she just isn't capable of thinking of what's best for other people or what is too much to ask of other people. She becomes anxious and irritable and censorious when she does realize that other people expect something of her or if she comprehends that they are annoyed by her demands. Other people are supposed to understand that she isn't able to be a giver. I know what I am writing is harsh; I know she means no harm. But that lack of intention doesn't cancel the effect of her behavior and choices. We still cling like boat-wreck survivors in freezing waters to a desperate hope for just one sign that she would reach out for us and pull us to safety and warmth.

Today was a tough day. Got back to the Piker offices after the long holiday weekend and was all alone. No one to share my stories with. No one to shoot the shit with around the water cooler. As a matter of fact, the water cooler was one of the few remaining items left here in the office and Arrowhead sent a guy to retrieve it today. So I talked to him for a few minutes as he was hauling away the equipment, but you can't really count that as water cooler talk, per se.
This morning, I came into work pretty gung ho. I woke up at a decent hour, ran five miles, and had a solid breakfast. After all, this was to be the first day of a new era for Piker. But, it's extremely difficult to generate ideas for new directions and new elements without a staff. I couldn't have any meetings – no creative meetings, no budget meetings, no sexual harassment seminars. And I really wanted to have some damn meetings. Even if, at the very least, the purpose of the meetings was to shoot down everyone else's crappy ideas and railroad my own. So, in lieu of meetings, you'd think I would hit the phones. That would be the case, if I had phones. Apparently, someone in operations didn't pay the bill. I suppose after I fired everyone, or everyone quit when I went AWOL, whatever, I then became the new operations person. Fine. I screwed up. No phones. No people. No meetings. No business.
So I went home and did some laundry while watching a pretty good day of U.S. Open tennis. Last night was an amazing night of tennis, a confluence of the world's best players playing on the same night due to almost two full days of rain. There was Pistol Pete Sampras winning a tough five-setter against that Canadian/Brit confused accent sore loser Greg Rusedski; the indefatigable 32 year-old Andre Agassi dominating the much younger American Jan-Michael Gambill in straight sets; Tommy Haas, the current most controversial player on the men's tour, outlasting the pesky Swede Thomas Enqvist in five sets. And then, you had the most exciting thing to happen to tennis in a long time, Andy Roddick, outdueling Spanish veteran Alex Corretja, the sleek and adorable Daniela Hantuchova upsetting Justin Henin, plus victories by Jennifer Capriati, Lindsey Davenport, and world number one Lleyton Hewitt. I've always loved the U.S. Open -- night matches under the lights with that rowdy New York crowd… I can't get enough.
Andy Roddick just defeated Juan Ignacio Chela in four sets to move through to the quarterfinals. At one point in the match, Roddick appeared to have a bad foot injury. Chela tried to take advantage of it by running him around the court, which opened the door for the just-turned-20 years old Roddick to produce some of the most exciting points of the tournament and get the crowd into it. As a matter of fact, after Roddick won the best point of the match, he got into the crowd, high-fiving a bunch of people in the expensive seats. Now the grizzled Pistol Pete is trying to take down the hot-shot Haas to set up an All-American quarterfinal against young Roddick. I've got to go watch.
Following tennis tonight, I will most definitely be watching the finale of American Idol. I honestly don't care who wins between Justin Guarini and Kelly Clarkson. I think they should both do musical theater after this whole circus ends. The real pop star in this competition, Tamyra Gray, was unceremoniously booted out by the idiotic American public, who thought Nikki McKibbin actually had more star quality. I'll tell you what she had more of… stretch marks! Now, I don't think having stretch marks should prevent the girl from winning, I'm not that crass. But wearing a shirt that bared her midriff with full knowledge of said stretch marks should have disqualified her instantly. One other more-deserving performer, Christina Christian, was voted out when Nikki should have been, and it really caused me to dislike the girl. I know it really wasn't her fault that a viewing audience of complete morons kept voted her through, but I blamed her and tuned in each week hoping against hope that she'd finally get what was coming to her. Now she's gone and we're left with Justin and Kelly as the final two, and I'm stuck having nothing to root for and nothing to root against. So, in order for me to get satisfaction out of the conclusion of this prolonged "talent" show, my dream finale must include a diatribe by Simon Cowell, the acerbic judge who is easily the best thing to come out of the show, putting the no-talent co-host monkeys Ryan Seacrest and Brian Dunkleman in their places once and for all. Odds are that I won't get my wish. But, despite my previously-stated aversion to gambling, you can bet the farm that I'll be watching tonight and tomorrow night as this addictive train wreck of a show comes to an end.
Tomorrow will be the beginning of a new era in Piker history. I'm determined to make something of this blog and make something of my life. First, I'm going to go make myself a sandwich.

I am not really big into famous land marks but I am happy to see THIS huge familiar comforting rock against the ocean waters.
I walked through the adorable farmer's market the other afternoon, live music and wine tasting. Booths with fresh produce, with specialty cheeses and baked goods. I walk in the warmth of the sun light which still was very cold compared to back home in Boise Idaho where 108' sweated all my extra fat away!
Here is a small ocean side town with no fast food, no malls or thank the good lord above NO wal-marts! This is a community for escape, for classy calmness and peaceful good moments by the coastal beauty!
When I come here, I enjoy every second and every moment of stepping back into time of a simple way of celebrating such a good good life!

I forgot to mention that Food Lion has bananas for .45 a pound & we went in Diane's Natural Foods (located in the plaza with Hobby Lobby & Big Lots) the other day-they had a few things on clearance & would be a great deal with a coupon (they do take manufacturer coupons). We bought some raw Thomas Honey & it is soooo yummy! I just looked at their website & it looks like the Feed Store sells it so I'm going to check if they are cheaper (we paid 9.99 for a huge jar!). Expensive but it's my husband's spending money-luckily he doesn't have any expensive hobbies!
& sorry for the lack of posting-I've been busy organizing the last few days since we got new office furniture but in general, life has just been really busy lately so not sure when I will start posting more but follow Southern Savers website & hip2save.com & I'll just post local things when I get a chance & email me if you find any good deals & I will post them! And if you have any questions I am more than happy to help out so just email me!

Salmon Fishing Scotland River Tay, Perthshire, Scotland Report and Prospects for October 2009.
Tay Reports
Weekly Report for week ending 10th October 2009.
Last week reported 314 Salmon and 3 Sea Trout which was the best weekly catch for the season so far despite the tough year on the Tay. The weather was settled with a high pressure giving us perfect river conditions.
There were other fish being caught and not reported. This would include a further 100 or so salmon from the 4 lower Tay beats not reporting (Stormont Angling Club, Almondmouth, Lower and Upper Redgorton). There does now seem to be a spread of Salmon throughout the district as all the beats are catching but not in the usual numbers for the time of year.
Quite a few good fish were caught this past week yet again which is quite heartening. Best salmon of the week was a magnificent 35lbs salmon off the Ballathie beat caught from the boat harling and carefully returned. The Cargil beat and the Upper Islamouth beat quickly followed with 25 pound salmon the following day. However at the end of the week Ballathie caught another cracking 27 pound salmon. Despite the poorer runs this year the Tay can still produce the really big salmon.
Several beats recorded good individual day catches which is very encouraging for the week to come. The individual beat scores were Waulkmill 21, Catholes and Luncarty 10, Fishponds 18, Benchil and Pitlochrie 17, Upper Scone 13, Catholes Syndicate 2, Stobhall 36, Taymount 41, Ballathie 24, Cargill 38, Islamouth 12, Lower and Upper Islamouth 15, Upper Islamouth and Meikleour House 9, Meikleour House 10, Kercock 8, Newtyle 6, Dunkeld House 10, Dalmarnock 3, Dalguise 7, Lower Kinnaird 3, Upper Kinnaird 2, Lower Aberuthven 2, Islabank 4, Ruan Ruarie 3.
Many thanks to Tony Lenehan for this input. I'm just back from three days on Cargill (5th to 7th Oct) with ghillie David Godfrey. These are a couple of pictures of fish taken. We had a great spell of fishing, despite the weather forecasters' best efforts, landing eleven fish to our three rods (weighing 25, 20, 19, 18, 2x17, 2x14 pounds and some smaller fish). River height meant harled kynoch was top method, and the best fish was a sea liced 17 pound hen. All fish returned. The bigger and darker fish photographed is a 25 pound hen, and the other the fresh 17 pound salmon.
A nice end to our season, and great thanks to the team at Cargill for extra effort in a hard season.
Also Goran Raven caught his first ever Salmon weighing 22lbs caught in the Ministers at Murthly on Saturday morning.
The fish was returned along with 5 others that day.
It was the biggest fish caught last week on the Tay.
Thank you James Gilchrist for sharing this with us.
The river temperature has now dropped to around 50 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 degrees Celsius.
There is no doubt the river is having a very hard season and a number of anglers are responding by returning the majority of the salmon they catch. The Tay would like to thank you for that which will hopefully show benefits for the future.
May I remind anglers coming to the Tay about the Catch and Release policy which is that all hen salmon and sea trout caught should be returned and large male salmon over 15 pounds to preserve sport for the future. It goes without saying that all red fish should de returned as well.
If you have any news or pictures of catches or experiences on the Tay and you would like to share them please email me on email@example.com
Thank you for the contributions so far .
Prospects for the week commencing 12th October 2009.
The river is flowing at a good height for the time of year which can do no harm for this coming week for most beats. Again the weather for this coming week looks settled. Hopefully any showers will not be too heavy to alter the river levels.
Last week reported reasonable catch for the season so far so let us hope this continues over the last 4 days of the season and there is a late surge of autumn salmon.
The water temperature is now just below 50 degrees Fahrenheit or 10 degrees Celsius with colder autumn weather arriving.
The river is running at a good height which will allow salmon to run the entire river Tay.
There is good availability throughout the river so why not have a go.
As to methods, the river is settled and at a good height, the most likely method of catching Tay Salmon this week will favour all methods with settled water. There will certainly be good conditions for fly fishing with a higher river temperature now encouraging floating lines. Spinning from boat and bank are also favoured.. The rise in river temperature should encourage baits spun upstream and retrieved quickly.
Finally all anglers are reminded that the Tay's policy for Catch and Release in 2009 we now recommend that every angler should release all hen salmon caught each day and all Sea Trout. We also recommend that all male salmon over 15 pounds should be released and certainly any red fish . Salmon are an extremely precious resource. Please do what you can to ensure their numbers are allowed to conserve them and produce more salmon for the future.
If you have any news or pictures of catches or experiences on the Tay and you would like to share them please email me on email@example.com

Update: Innovation Direct™ sends follow-up letter to Florida-based manufacturer regarding detailed design information sent on personal hygiene accessory…
Hello, Juan C. Blanco, Innovation Direct™"s Director of Product Licensing, back in the saddle with another update. Earlier Friday, the Innovation Direct™ representative that has been managing the advanced level of interest being displayed in a personal hygiene accessory from our roster by a Florida-based manufacturer since its onset sent a follow-up letter to his contact at the company regarding the invention. We had most recently reported on this manufacturer's interest in the concept, and the fact that they had signed a non-disclosure agreement for it, in a December 24th posting ("Update: International Technology Transfer receives signed non-disclosure agreement from Florida-based company for personal hygiene invention; access to detailed design information sent…").
As we'd explained in that entry, the return of the signed confidentiality agreement had allowed us to provide the company with access to all of the detailed design information available on the invention. With almost a full month having passed since the details were sent and in lieu of any type of feedback, our aforementioned colleague felt it would be a prudent time to attempt a follow-up.
We will keep you abreast of any further developments with this situation, here on the Innovation Direct™ Blog. Stay tuned!

What did you like best about this story?
A good explanation of how and why China reacts domestically and internationally.
Any additional comments?
This book gives some insights into where China may go in the next decade. I would recommend it for anyone doing business with or in competition with China. There is more information in this book than most of our politicians understand. Buy a copy for your congressman.

References to the "The Star-Spangled Banner" the national anthem of the United States of America. The lyrics come from a poem written in 1814 by Francis Scott Key, a then 35-year-old amateur poet who wrote "Defence of Fort McHenry" after seeing the bombardment of Fort McHenry at Baltimore, Maryland, by Royal Navy ships using Tipu Sultan's design of rockets in Chesapeake Bay during the War of 1812.
"And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air"
*The Tipu sultan rocket tech was later on copied by the british and used against the americans ....
A military tactic developed by Tippu Sultan and his father, Haidar Ali was the use of mass attacks with Rocket artillery brigades on infantry formations. Tippu Sultan wrote a military manual called Fathul Mujahidin in which 200 rocket men were prescribed to each Mysorean "cushoon" (brigade). Mysore had 16 to 24 cushoons of infantry. The areas of town where rockets and fireworks were manufactured were known as Taramandal Pet ("Galaxy Market").
The rocket men were trained to launch their rockets at an angle calculated from the diameter of the cylinder and the distance of the target. In addition, wheeled rocket launchers capable of launching five to ten rockets almost simultaneously were used in war. Rockets could be of various sizes, but usually consisted of a tube of soft hammered iron about 8 inches long and 1.5 to 3 inches diameter, closed at one end and strapped to a shaft of bamboo about 4 ft long. The iron tube acted as a combustion chamber and contained well packed black powder propellant. A rocket carrying about one pound of powder could travel almost 1,000 yards. In contrast, rockets in Europe not being iron cased, could not take large chamber pressures and as a consequence, were not capable of reaching distances anywhere near as great.
Source: Wikipedia
Tipu Sultan Last obstacle for British Rule 1750 - 1799 rockets artillary weapons. Research into rocketry, ballistic weapons. Indian weapons.
The use of missiles dates back to the Vedic age in India. Indian warriors have used "Astras" as missiles in various forms from that period in the subcontinent, proofs of which can be drawn from a number of epics such as the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
The deadly weapons and the scriptures regarding the technology were later concealed to prevent any future happenings of the 'Idikasa' (an important historic part in the history of Indian religion) for the sake of the survival of mankind.
In olden days, the Astra (a supernatural weapon) was controlled by 'Mantras' (a sound, syllable, or group of words that are considered capable of creating transformation) that could be correlated to the mission control software of the modern day missiles.
Fighting the British colonial army, Tipu Sultan and his army used thousands of rockets resulting in the defeat of the troops in the Srirangapatna war in 1792. The rockets were attached with bamboo or steel spears and powered by gun powder, propellant compacted in a cast iron chamber with nozzle and igniters capable of attacking enemy cavalry and soldiers.
The modern day missiles have their roots in Germany the country developed the first successful Guided missiles V1 and V2. After World War II, several other nations developed a variety of missile systems.
India had mastered missile technology from olden days, but it was left behind in this field when the Britishers ruled the country for hundreds of years, resulting in lack of resources, research environment and capabilities.
This was the time when India decided to go ahead with its Integrated Guided Missile Development Programme (IGMDP), headed by eminent scientist and former President of India Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam who launched the first Satellite Launch Vehicle, SLV-3 putting the Rohini Satellite in orbit.

i tend to think, that when there is more diversity, than just the chosen few the U.S. deems qualified, there will be more for a chance of peace. and if it happens to be putin who can swing some talks, then all the more power to him!
Putin Renews Call for Peace Forum
February 14, 2007 / The Moscow Times
AMMAN, Jordan -- President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday renewed his call for a regional conference to put the Israeli-Palestinian peace process back on track.
Putin's proposal would engage Syria in the talks, a prospect likely to unsettle Washington.
"We confirm our call for a broad international conference in the Middle East and we see the number of supporters of this proposal growing," Putin said in a statement that he read to reporters as he stood alongside King Abdullah.
"But it should be well prepared and the agenda [should] include the Palestinian and the Lebanese and Syrian tracks," he said.
Putin, who spoke after three hours of closed-door talks with the Jordanian monarch, first called for a Middle East peace conference during a visit to Egypt in 2005. He suggested at the time that the conference be held in Moscow.
King Abdullah said Tuesday that Russia had an important role to play in the peace process.
"President Putin and I agreed that negotiations toward the establishment of a viable, independent Palestinian state should be accelerated," he said.
Later Tuesday, Putin met with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and expressed hope that economic sanctions against the Palestinian government would be lifted soon.
"We hope that very soon conditions will be created for lifting the blockade. It will be lifted to allow you to take the next step toward full-scale settlement," Putin was heard telling Abbas at the start of their 50-minute talks at Amman's airport.
He also told Abbas that it would be "very useful" if an Israeli soldier captured in Gaza last June was freed.
Abbas told Putin that "if there are no unpleasant surprises," the Hamas government would resign in the next two or three days and Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas would then form a government with Abbas' rival Fatah faction.
Fatah and Hamas agreed at Saudi-sponsored talks in Mecca last week to form a unity government to end a year-old international economic embargo imposed on Haniyeh's government because of Hamas' refusal to recognize Israel.
Russia is a member of the Middle East Quartet that includes the United Nations, the European Union and the United States.
Putin has stressed the differences between Russia and U.S. policies on the Middle East throughout his tour, which earlier took him to Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
A statement released after Putin's meeting with Abdullah focused on economic cooperation. It said agreements had been signed for the sale of Russian Ka-226 general purpose helicopters and the possible assembly in Jordan of AvtoVAZ's Lada cars.
Also Tuesday, Putin paid a quick visit to the biblical baptismal site on River Jordan.
He thanked Abdullah for a plot of land that Jordan had given Russia to build a Russian Orthodox church there.

Of course, you a...A cartoon, does not make racism.

Of course, you are likely from where? Likely one of the coasts? Yeah, what the hell would you know about racism?

You want to see real racism, and not what Lynne is talking about (oh no, did you hear what he said! He used the 'n' word! *gasp* Racism!), you better come out to Compton. You better come out here to South L.A. You want to racism, you should come out to Desert Hot Springs.

I can't go walk down to buy a drink before being acosted by a car filled with various Mexicans, blacks or otherwise. And heaven forbid they see each other! That's racism when they pull out their knives and start going for it... Cartoons? Please, I hate you for even thinking that makes racism. It's racism when they start fights at the school's, not when whitey cracks a racist joke... It's when people die because Mexicans and blacks want each other's jobs; that's racism you piece of filth. Not some cartoon. It's when they come to school, to hopefully be sent right back, with their gang signs and their war emblems.

Go buy a business from a Persian family in South LA. Go try to rent from one of them. Go try to have business at one of their establishments... I dare you, I dare you to go up to one of their houses. They don't communicate, this whole crazy country is unclean to them... And you say racism is embodied by a cartoon? No, fucking, way. You are delusional.

Go out to Compton, go out there... Whitey... See what happens, tell them "oh I hate racism" and see what they do with their .45's...

I DARE YOU

You freaking pansy... You sit on your arse and criticize some cartoonist for being racist... Because it makes you feel better. Ha, go out there and do some real shit. Go call someone who can beat, or kill, the shit out of you. Not some cartoonist.

While out with some of boyfriend's relatives last year, the man mentioned that there aren't any blacks (he didn't use that word) working at his plant. They get around the minority requirement by hiring a Native American now and then. But blacks? No way. They will interview them but they don't hire them.
I also recall conversations with boyfriends acquaintances who were fostering kids. They would rail against the blacks (again, didn't use that word) for fathering kids out of wedlock, sucking up welfare, and so on, yet they had ALL done the very things they were bitching about. I'm reminded of the admonition that when you point at someone else with an accusatory finger, several fingers are pointing back at yourself.
It is so ingrained in the culture that people are just oblivious to it. Maybe Obama is just what we need.Lynnehttps://email@example.com

Avoiding Rich Media Crash-and-Burn
Remember Evel Knievel and his famous leap across Snake River Canyon? Well, a lot of rich media companies have been floating in rarified air lately, aiming for the opposite cliff, only to realize that the other side of the chasm is a lot farther off than they imagined. But one company that's suffering a bit now stands a good chance of landing solidly on the other side of the chasm. And really hitting pay dirt.

The Revelation of God through His Names
One way God has revealed Himself to us is through His names The names of God used in the scriptures hold an important key to understanding the attributes and relationship of who is otherwise unapproachable and mysterious God shows His desire to make Himself known and bridge the gap to mankind by revealing Himself through His word God's name is His promise to dwell with His people through His Word – John 1:1-18 In the Old Testament: The prophets spoke with authority when they uttered the names of God In the New Testament: God's name is manifested through Jesus Christ John 17:6
His Majestic Names
Genesis 1:26
Elohim – Plural for deity (Godhead) The plural of majesty.
The revelation of the infinite nature of God
"Eloi, Eloi – Psalms 22, Mark 15:34"
Genesis 1:1-31-(Eliohim is plural for majesty-created is singular)
Romans 1:18-20 – God is revealed through His creation. We have no excuse to leave Him out of our understanding.
He is the One who created everything but when man is faced with such a concept as God, man then starts asking questions:
Does God really have any interest in man?
Does God have any interest in me personally?
Can we truly find God? Job 11
Can we go to where He is? Job 23:3
We long for not only an intellectual ability to know God but also an experiential knowledge of Him.
The argument can be made that we are made in His image. We are the direct reflection of God on this planet so then we should know how he is, this argument would be completely 100% true if it were not for 1 word. SIN!!!
Our problem is that sin has seperated man from God to the point where we have no way of knowing Him on our own through our own knowledge. But God has revealed Himself to us through His Word and especially through His names
The importance of His name – Psalms 23
He does things for His names sake
Psalms 106:8
1 John 2:12
Psalms 138:2
Isaiah 28:2, 47:4, 51:15
Amos 4
El – Berith – God of the covenant Judges 8:46
El – Elyon – The Exalted One – The One who owns everything
Genesis 14:18-22
God had made Abraham rich! Not man
Numbers 24:16
2 Samuel 22:14
Psalms 18:13
We as Christians have come into a relationship with the One who owns everything (Romans 8:17) and we come to and through His Son (Hebrews 1:2)
El – Olam – The Everlasting God Genesis 21:33
El – Roi – The God Who sees The God of Vision Genesis 16:13
El – Shaddai – The Almighty God Genesis 17:1
This name answers the question; "Is God big enough?"
All through time, man has made himself God. Opposition to God has and still runs rampant. Man tells himself "I don't need God, I will do what I want!"
Man wants to go his own way. He wants to have his own way and take God out of the picture.
Yet this is the very reason we see the world in the situation that it is now. Man wonders why there is death, corruption, and total ungodliness that seems to be growing towards a point where it seems that things could not get any worse than they really are now. The truth is that all the evil going on in the world today is man simply reaping the corruption that he has sown. One day God will deal with all the nations. One day He will judge them all. One day everything will all be brought full circle. (Isaiah 29:90)
He is mighty! He can do anything.
"Almighty God" (Hebrew, El Shaddai)
(1) The etymological signification of Almighty God (El Shaddai) is both interesting and touching. God (El) signifies the "Strong One" (See Scofield) – (Gen_1:1). The qualifying word Shaddai is formed from the Hebrew word "shad," the breast, invariably used in Scripture for a woman's breast; for example (Gen_49:25); (Job_3:12); (Psa_22:9); Song of (Son_1:13); (Son_4:5); Song of (Son_7:3); (Son_7:7); (Son_7:8); (Son_8:1); (Son_8:8); (Son_8:10); (Isa_28:9); (Eze_16:7). Shaddai therefore means primarily "the breasted." God is "Shaddai," because He is the Nourisher, the Strength-giver, and so, in a secondary sense, the Satisfier, who pours himself into believing lives. As a fretful, unsatisfied babe is not only strengthened and nourished from the mother's breast, but also is quieted, rested, satisfied, so El Shaddai is that name of God which sets Him forth as the Strength-giver and Satisfier of His people. It is on every account to be regretted that "Shaddai" was translated "Almighty." The primary name El or Elohim sufficiently signifies almightiness. "All-sufficient" would far better express both the Hebrew meaning and the characteristic use of the name in Scripture.
(2) Almighty God (El Shaddai) not only enriches, but makes fruitful. This is nowhere better illustrated than in the first occurrence of the name (Gen_17:1-8). To a man ninety-nine years of age, and "as good as dead" (Heb_11:12). He said: "I am the Almighty God El Shaddai . . . I will . . . multiply thee exceedingly." To the same purport is the use of the name in (Gen_28:3); (Gen_28:4).
(3) As Giver of fruitfulness, Almighty God (El Shaddai) chastens His people. For the moral connection of chastening with fruit bearing, see (Joh_15:2); (Heb_12:10); (Rth_1:20). Hence, Almighty is the characteristic name of God in Job, occurring thirty-one times in that book. The hand of El Shaddai falls upon Job, the best man of his time, not in judgment, but in purifying unto greater fruitfulness (Job_5:17-25).
It takes an Almighty omnipotent God to love His own
He is big enough for us
He is big enough to sustain us
He is the fruitful One – He makes man fruitful
He is the chastening One to His people – Job 5:17, Hebrews 12:6-11

Today there are over 75,000 registered chemicals, with only a fraction that have been tested for human health concerns. And of the household chemicals tested so far, many have been found to be toxic.
Now more and more studies are showing a correlation between toxic household cleaners and the rise in children's asthma and learning disabilities.
Go to your cupboard right now. Pick a cleaner, any cleaner. Does it contain chlorine, phenol, ammonia, or formaldehyde? These—and more—may be toxic. Toxic as in dangerous, as in hurtful, as in not very clean at all.
Our homes are no place for dangerous chemicals. We have control over what comes across our thresholds, so start by getting rid of those toxic troublemakers. Responsibly, of course, by taking them to a place in your community where dangerous chemicals are disposed of properly. Then call in Get Clean.™ When you welcome Get Clean into your home, none of those hazardous things come with it. That's because there are ZERO ingredients in Get Clean products that are hazardous to humans! So you can be sure you're letting in products that care as much about your family's safety as you do.
When you use Get Clean®, you're never simply cleaning. While you make your home cleaner, you keep your family healthier. You also make the planet healthier for other families and for future generations as well. And because Get Clean products are concentrated you'll save money too.
Finally we want to share that by switching to eco-friendly Get Clean cleaners you're going to have superior cleaning performance and without any obnoxious smells that many of us had accepted as part of the "clean" experience. Get Clean has been tested to outclean 11 National brands! So chances are you'll find Get Clean products clean even better than what you're using now.
Non-toxic. Totally Green. Cleans better. Concentrated to save you money (see the Get Clean Cost Comparison). What's not to love about Get Clean! To start switching your home into a healthy, non-toxic Get Clean home.
The easiest way to make the switch is to purchase the Get Clean Starter Kit. There are several to choose from. You'd have to spend more than $3400 to get the equivalent cleaning power in the complete Get Clean Starter Kit!
Dr. Kim says:
I initially started using the Shaklee cleaning products because they are cost effective, safe for the environment but most importantly THEY WORK better than any other products I've used. I still have 1/4 left in the original bottle purchased almost 4 years ago.

A little experimenting
You've heard the expression, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"? When it came to stitching the sky for the Port Pontchartrain lighthouse, I just couldn't leave well enough alone!
The photo I used to adapt the lighthouse to needlepoint showed a stunning sky--one I thought would be fun to try to duplicate. At the top was an intense blue, which highlighted the oxidized roof perfectly. The darker blue quickly transitioned to a medium blue, which stayed fairly constant in value until it lightened at the horizon.
I also wanted this lighthouse to really stand out against the sky, and had already helped it along by stitching it in DMC #5 perle cotton. To accentuate its profile even more, I decided to "ply down" the floss in the basketweave background from four plies to three.
So I started at the top of the canvas with DMC floss #3755, working my way down to half-way through the railing under the lantern room. Then I started adding in DMC floss #3325 in rows five threads deep. Most of the center section of sky was worked with two plies of DMC floss #3325 and one ply of DMC floss #3841. By the time I reached the horizon, I was using a full three plies of DMC floss #3841.
I found that three plies covered the painted canvas adequately--I'd duplicated the look of the photo pretty closely and the lighthouse definitely does "pop"!

What a great example of how fiber selection can be combined with stitch selection to produce marvelous depth. Your lighthouse really comes "forward" here, Anne.

Written (at least the first 3 chapters) around 730 B.C.
The pagan world was dominating and people ordered their lives and worship increasingly around sex/power rituals of Assyrian gods. Micah is distraught and has a dramatic mourning, naked and an howling.
Chapter 1 says God is bringing judgments and disaster against the pagan ways of his people. His threat is that the children of the sinful generation will be taken away in captivity.
Chapter 2 Reiterates "woe" to those who do bad because they can. Some will be stunned and ask how God can be good and bring such harsh punishment, but the prophet's answer is that God brings good to the good, but yes, will bring punishment to evil doers. What kind of prophet do the people need? One who prophesies beer and wine in abundance. But a promise is made that a remnant will be flocked together under King YHWH.
Chapter 3 Contrasts men of God who learn how to make a profit from God's word vs. true men of God who are filled with God's spirit. The fakers, and their empty promises of safety, will know destruction.
Chapter 4 shows a vision of hope when the house of YHWH will teach people how to live. Solving problems wisely will make war obsolete and people will be able to abide in safety in their own place. Now the nations do their own thing, but a day is coming when God's people will be brought to safety. It will be after a humbling exile, but the captors will offer their wealth back to God.
Chapter 5 promises a surprise from Bethlehem. The Shalom will eventually be global but a great fight will precede that peace. A diaspora will be involved but will end in creation worshippers being confronted by the creation Creator.
Chapter 6 What has God done? Rescued his people. How shall we respond? Love justice and mercy in humility before God. People must change from their tricks of maximizing wealth. Investments will be lost and satisfaction not found. Creation worship will not work, it will be brought down.
Chapter 7 The world will be filled with tricksters and liars, the relatively good people aren't even good. Our own relatives will be enemies, not help. But there is a remnant of those who watch and wait for YHWH and who endure rough times, knowing that eventually God's wrath will pave the way for God's right. God will fulfill is covenant promises.
So HANG IN THERE, TRUST GOD AND DON'T BE A WORLDLY GRABBER
That's what I saw in Micah this morning.

U.S. Actor/Media
Desi Arnaz
is best known for his role as Ricky Ricardo in the early television
situation comedy, I Love Lucy. The series, which starred
his wife, Lucille Ball as his fictional wife, Lucy Ricardo, appeared
weekly on CBS. The show originally ran from the fall of 1951 through
the 1957 season, and during this time ranked consis-tently among
the top three national pro-grams. In addition to this recognition
of Arnaz as perfect comic straight-man for Ball's genius, however,
he was one of Hollywood's most perceptive, and powerful, producers
in television's early years. His shrewd business skills and his
realization of particular combinations of the television's technological
and cultural connections enabled him to develop aspects of the medium
that remain central to its economic and cultural force.
Arnaz began
his show business career in 1935. After singing and playing guitar
with the Xavier Cugat orchestra, Desi toured with his own rumba
band, but his big break was being cast in the Broadway show, Too
Many Girls in 1939. He met Lucille Ball in Hollywood the next
year when both had roles in the movie version of the play. They
were married in 1940 and continued their careers, Lucille in motion
pictures and radio, and Desi in music.
Ball had also
gained success with her CBS radio program, My Favorite Husband,
in which she starred as the wife of a banker, played by Richard
Denning. CBS was interested in creat-ing a television version of
the show, but when Ball insist-ed that Desi play her husband, the
network felt that viewers would not be attracted to a show not easily
related to their own lives. Execu-tives at CBS were skeptical about
whether Arnaz, a Cuban band leader, would be believable and readily
accepted by viewers as Lucy's husband. In order to prove the network
wrong, Lucy and Desi s-et out on a nation-wide stage tour to designed
to gauge public reaction to their working together in a comedy act.
CBS was im-pressed with the positive public response to the couple
as well as with a sample script for a TV series developed by the
writers from My Favorite Husband.
The basics were
there, including Desi as Ricky Ricardo, a struggling band leader,
and Lucille as Lucy, a house-wife with little talent but a giant
yearning to break into show business. This homey battle-of-the-sexes
premise for the show convinced the network that viewers could relate,
and a pilot version of the program im-pressed the Philip Morris
Compa-ny, which agreed to sponsor thirty-nine programs for the 1951-52
season on the CBS network Monday nights at 9:00 P.M. Arnaz and Ball
insisted on producing the show in California so they could work
together and live at home, an arrangement which had been impossi-ble
with Lucille acting in films an on radio while Desi toured with
his band, a situation which had strained their marriage. The idea
of recording I Love Lucy on film was directly related to
the couple' desire to work together in show business as a family
and to live in their home in California.
In 1951, before
the perfection of video tape, nearly all television shows were live
productions, fed from the East Coast because of time-zone differences.
Philip Morris approved the idea of filming I Love Lucy, but
the sponsor wanted a live audience, which had been effective on
radio. Desi and cinematographer Karl Freund, a veteran of pre-World
War II German expressionist cinema working in Hollywood, devised
a plan for staging the show as a play, performing each act before
an audi-ence, and simultaneous-ly filming with three or four cameras
stationed in different loca-tions. Because this technique in-creased
network production costs, CBS asked the Arnaz and Ball to take a
cut in salary to compensate for the increase. In negotia-tion, Arnaz
agreed, providing Desilu, a company he and Ball had created, would
then own the shows after the broadcasts. A few years later the couple
sold the films back to CBS for more than four million dollars, a
sum that provided the economic base for building what became the
Desilu empire. The practice of filming television episodes also
paved the way to TV re-runs and syndication. After I Love Lucy
was established as a hit, Desilu applied its multi-camera film
technique to the product-ion of other shows, such as Our Miss
Brooks, December Bride, and The Lineup. By 1957,
Desilu was so successful that addition-al facilities were needed
and it bought RKO Studios from the General Tire and Rubber Company.
Desilu had become
the world's largest studio. But as the business grew ever larger,
Arnaz and Ball drifted apart, ending their 20-year marriage in 1960,
and split-ting their interests in Desilu. In 1962, Ball bought Arnaz's
share in the company, and he retired for a short time to his horse-breeding
farm. Both later married others, and Desi returned televi-sion,
forming an independent production company and making occasional
guest appearances. Desilu was purchased by Gulf Western Industries
in 1967. Desi Arnaz died in 1986 and Lucille Ball in 1989. I
Love Lucy is still popular with television audiences today,
thanks to the pioneering production techniques of Desilu.
