The team responsible for revamping Apple's pro product efforts was there to provide updated details both on the Mac Pro and how Apple is shaping it to meet the needs of real professional users.
Employees in the meeting included John Ternus, VP of Hardware Engineering, Tom Boger, Senior Director of Mac Hardware Marketing, Jud Coplan, Director of video Apps Product Marketing, and Xander Soren, Director of Music Apps Product Marketing.
Panzarino was told in no uncertain terms that the Mac Pro will not be arriving before 2019 as the product is still in development. From Tom Boger:
"We want to be transparent and communicate openly with our pro community so we want them to know that the Mac Pro is a 2019 product. It's not something for this year." In addition to transparency for pro customers on an individual basis, there's also a larger fiscal reasoning behind it.
Apple wants customers to know that the Mac Pro isn't coming in 2018 so those who are planning to make a purchase decision for a pro machine like the iMac Pro won't hold off in the hopes of a Mac Pro materializing later in the year.
In the time since Apple announced major changes for the next-generation Mac Pro last year, it has put together a "Pro Workflow Team" led by John Ternus, where employees who focus on pro-level products all work together.
Apple has also been hiring award-winning artists and technicians in an effort to understand the real workflows that creative professionals use to better tailor its products to them. The individuals shoot real projects and then use Apple's hardware and software to find "sticking points that could cause frustration and friction" for pro users.
Apple's Pro Workflow Team finds and addresses the issues that come up, even down to tiny details like tweaking a graphics driver, and it's not just Apple's products that benefit – the company's employees are also working with third-party apps. From Tom Bogar, senior Mac marketing director:
"We've gone from just you know engineering Macs and software to actually engineering a workflow and really understanding from soup to nuts, every single stage of the process, where those bottlenecks are, where we can optimize that," says Bogar.
The Pro Workflow team, in addition to improving current Apple products, is also an essential part of Mac Pro development. Their work is "definitely influencing" what Apple's planning for, with Apple achieving a "much much much deeper understanding" of pro customers, their workflows, and their needs. This understanding is "really informing" the work Apple is doing on the Mac Pro," according to Bogar.
No details were provided on the shape of the Mac Pro or the internal components that it might include, but Apple is still planning on a modular machine, as announced last year, so plans have not changed. Apple back then said that it was "completely rethinking" the Mac Pro, and that it is "by definition" a modular system. Apple at the time also said a pro display was in development alongside the new machine.
Panzarino says we're not likely to hear any additional detail about the Mac Pro at WWDC in June, and that he expects Apple will keep quiet about the machine until next year.
Panzarino's full piece on Apple's efforts to tailor the Mac Pro and other pro-level products to meet professional needs, which goes into much greater detail, can be read over at TechCrunch.

There are no reviews for this business
Steve Honeyman Painting & Decorating
"His written quote was to apply 2 coats of paint he only ever applied 1 coat you can see the brush strokes and original wall colour coming through in every room, He did no preparation, painted straight over everything including dirt, damaged plaster, picture hooks and he did not even remove downlights just painted around them. Our home interior is an absolute mess and needs to be all repainted. He's not even licenced. "
John Scard Painters
"Very poor workman ship, rude mannered and incomplete work and still asked for money in full"
Simon Jin Pty Ltd
"Gruff response to arrival time should have been a tell tale sign. The most abysmal and badly executed painting job I have ever seen. No colour matching, resulting in a mish match of obvious patches right the way through interiors. One other tenants exclaimed "this must be a joke?" All jokes aside Simon Jin employs non English speaking chinese migrants to do paint jobs, when it's blatantly obvious they have never held a paint brush in their lives."

Top Places to Ride in Tasmania
It seems that Tasmania was created for cycling tours.
The scenery is breathtaking and the water surrounding it is enchanting. Everywhere you look on your cycling tour will be filled with beauty and adventure. The Spirit of Tasmania is a ship that makes it easy to travel from Melbourne to Tasmania because you can take your bike with you. The fare for a bicycle is only $5, but you can also transport a motorbike for $58. When you arrive for your journey, your bike will be placed on the appropriate vehicle deck according to its size. Tasmania has so much to offer cyclists that the people needed to create several different bicycle tracks and routes to cover everything. For example, one tour takes you through the Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park where you will find deep river valleys and sensational gorges. If you prefer to remain along the beaches, there are fabulous cycling tours for you that travel along the eastern coast.
Top Places to Ride in Tasmania
1. The Tasmania East Coast Classic Tour
One tour that will show you a little piece of everything that is special about Tasmania is the Tasmania East Coast Classic Tour. This trail takes you along the beaches and into the rainforest. Riders also travel through national parks where they view pink granite peaks, fossil-filled cliffs and the azure waters.
2. The Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park
Some people are looking for an adventure, and they find it in the Glenorchy Mountain Bike Park. This cycling tour gives you the chance to ride cross country, mountain cross, northshore tracks, dirt jumps and downhill. It was created to be a haven for beginning riders and advanced riders alike.
3. The Trevallyn Reserve Tour
Tasmania also has tours that are geared toward people who only want to spend a couple of hours on their bikes. The Trevallyn Reserve Tour is exactly this type of tour. It distinguishes itself from the others because it takes riders right through the river gorge known as the "Cataract Gorge." This location is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Launceston.
4. The Riverside Trails Tour
You can have a leisurely ride in Launceston on the Riverside Trails Tour. On this tour, you will not find any steep hills because it only takes you along the rivers as the name suggests. The other great thing about this tour is that it doesn't take you far from Launceston as you casually ride with the rivers' curves.
5. The Hollybank Mountain Bike Park
Some people aren't ready to take a hard ride right from the beginning. The Hollybank Mountain Bike Park gives you the opportunity to warm up before you make your descent. Those who have done so say that the ride downhill is "fantastic."

At Cafe Grind in New York City, the focus is always on the customer. "If you don't have customers, you don't have a business," says Cathal O'Brien, the owner. O'Brien knows that keeping customers happy means managing their entire experience, from the minute they walk in the door. It means keeping the shop clean and inviting, keeping up with the latest technology so that the payment process is quick and easy, and stocking the kinds of health-conscious options customers crave.
Most of all, it means speed. "In the morning, in a coffee shop, you really only have five minutes to get your coffee and get out, jump in a taxi, go to work," O'Brien says. Cafe Grind serves anywhere from 350 to 700 people a day. And because the shop is located right next to the Jacob Javits Convention Center, the crowds get even crazier during New York's ComicCon. "For five days, you have superhero after superhero," O'Brien says.
When the crowds get crazy at Cafe Grind, the Clover system, and particularly the Clover Mobile, help O'Brien keep things moving smoothly. Here are four ways Clover Mobile helps keep customers happy at New York's Cafe Grind:
It keeps the lines moving.
Cafe Grind is a small shop, and the line can get long in the mornings as the 9-to-5-ers queue up for their morning coffee. "Clover Mobile is a line-buster," O'Brien says. When it's busy, staff will go through the line with the Clover Mobile, taking and processing orders, so that the customer's order is ready when they get to the counter. "They feel they're getting taken care of faster, more efficiently," O'Brien says.
It can go on the road.
Cafe Grind has a substantial catering and delivery business. When staffers are out on deliveries, they can bring the Clover Mobile with them and securely process payments online. "It's more secure for the customer because they're swiping a credit card versus you writing the credit card number down," O'Brien says.
It's easy for staff to use.
"Being in this business for 27 or 28 years, I've used many point-of-sale systems," O'Brien says. "They're all too many steps, very difficult, very hard to train the staff." A Clover system is easy to set up—you can take a new unit out of the box and have it ready to go in less than 15 minutes—and easy to train staff to use, O'Brien says. And staff can use the Clover Mobile to clock in and clock out, snapping pictures of themselves each time.
It saves the boss' time.
The Clover Mobile system lets O'Brien manage business logistics on the go. With the Bills Sync app, O'Brien can scan his bills to upload them to his system and then automatically pay them from his phone. He can view analytics remotely, easily seeing how many customers have come in that day, how long it's taken to serve each person, and what items are selling. "It takes about 5 to 10 hours a week away from what you'd be doing" in terms of managing logistics," O'Brien says. "It lets you focus on the customers versus sitting in an office writing checks or counting inventory," he says. With that extra time, "you can be on the floor taking care of your customers, making sure they're OK, giving them better service."
Time is at a premium in a business like O'Brien's. The customer's time is crucial—and O'Brien's time is critical, too. O'Brien says he loves the Clover system, particularly the Clover Mobile, because it helps him stay focused on the customer. "No matter what you do, business is the same," O'Brien says. "Be it restaurant, bar, hotel, coffee shop or clothing store, you've got to give the customer what they want, when they want it, in the best possible way, and at the best possible value."
Clover is sold by leading U.S. banks including Bank of America, BBVA, Citi, PNC, SunTrust and Wells Fargo. You'll also find Clover at our trusted partners including CardConnect, Restaurant Depot, and Sam's Club. For more information, visit us at clover.com.

AC/DC were forced to cancel a show in ADELAIDE, AUSTRALIA last night (January 22) after drummer PHIL RUDD was struck down by illness.
Shortly before soundcheck at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre, organisers announced the concert would be cancelled because Rudd, 46, was being treated for a kidney infection.
Garry Van Egmond, the promoter of the band's current 'Stiff Upper Lip' tour, said the show will go on, with the concert rescheduled for tomorrow night (January 24). He said: "Phil Rudd, the band's drummer, has been diagnosed with a minor kidney infection, however the doctors have reassured Phil he will be on stage in Adelaide tomorrow night."
The band themselves did not make themselves available for comment. The postponement was made just three hours before the concert was set to begin, and despite announcements on local television and radio, hundreds of confused fans showed up to the near-empty venue. About 5,000 people had purchased tickets for the event, with more sales expected on the door.
But the postponement may have been welcome news for stage hands, giving them an extra day to construct the band's massive stage set, consisting of 56,000kg of equipment being transported across Australia in 17 semi-trailers.
The Adelaide performance was to follow a sold-out start to the down under leg of the tour in Perth.

Since Glenn Beck's pending exit as Fox News host was announced last week, media attention has focused primarily on Judge Andrew Napolitano as a potential replacement for the 5 PM slot. Further fueling speculations, Napolitano, who has served as a guest host on the program before, was tapped to sub for Beck, who is on tour, three days this week. But Napolitano's ratings came in below expectations. Monday through Wednesday, he averaged 1.66 million viewers, down 19% from Beck's March average, and 345,000 viewers in the 25-54 demo, down 32% from Beck's average. Fox News still won the hour by a comfortable margin, largely because of its overall strength throughout the day, but the network may hesitate to go with someone who drops so much from Beck's March levels, which were already dramatically down from his heyday in the slot. Fox News is expected to continue to try out hosts. Last night, Fox News/Fox Business Network's Eric Bolling anchored the program. Ratings for that show will be available later this afternoon.

"If your idea of retirement is sitting in a rocking chair and watching the time go by, don't come to Ann Arbor. This lively college town has so many concerts, art fairs, lectures, sporting events, courses, museums, and other attractions—many of them free—that it practically knocks on your door and begs you to come out. Seniors even get free bus service and discounted taxi rides." U.S. News
Friday, November 4, 2011
So as my brother says, when you're retired, "everyday is Saturday, and then the big paper comes".
So why are we still very happy on Friday night? I think it may be conditioning from 25+ years of making it through another work week, and the pure joy in knowing that you don't have to go back to work for 2 whole days.
So how do we celebrate our Friday nights? By going to Knights-- the best kept non-secret with the retired set in the Ann Arbor area. (Just look for the large chess piece on Dexter just east of Maple). It's part Cheers, where everyone knows your name and what you drink at the bar, to the best steaks and prime rib in the city. Be prepared for standing room only at the bar, and a decent wait to get a booth, but it's all worth it.
So back to the M GO BLUE Gills-- that was my dinner tonight, along with an excellent glass of cab, and a bite of great prime rib--
If you've never tried it, join the rest of us who are having a great time, being RETIRED IN ANN ARBOR. :)
See you there next Friday night?

Noel was the king of Saturday night television for nearly twenty years, which reached its zenith with Noel's House Party. The House Party's heyday was in the early 1990s. Despite being much derided and sneered at, audiences of over 15 million would tune in every week during its run from October to March. It became real 'event' television, the likes of which rarely occurs these days.
Much meddling occured during the second half of the show's life, in a continuing attempt to keep it fresh, and outdo what had been done already. The changing of the theme tune in 1996 can be viewed as a turning point; then another when the set was changed a year later.
By now, the show was in crisis - at the start of January 1998 Noel himself pulled transmission of the show, claiming it wasn't good enough. It returned with a raft of new features. But everyone knew that the House Party was past its best. The next, and eighth, series saw the biggest revamp of all - but when audiences dropped to under 6 million, the show was swiftly axed. The final episode was transmitted on 20th March 1999.
Here we remember Noel's House Party with a B-Z of its greatest moments:
Barry Killerby - long-serving member of the Gotcha team, proving that no celebrities watched the House Party, otherwise they'd recognise him! He also had a close working relationship with Mr Blobby.
Beat Your Neighbour - series 5 game, in which two neighbours would run round to each other's house and, in one minute, grab as many belongings as they wanted. Then, following a series of alternate questions, one neighbour would win everything, including their own stuff back.
Big Pork Pie - regular feature from series 3 and 4: a member of the audience with an embarrassing secret was sat in a big pork pie, made to wear a lie detector and questioned by Noel. Noel himself was subjected to this torture on one episode, with Bob Monkhouse taking on the role of question master. Thanks to this, we learnt that Noel's middle name is Ernest.
The Bottoms - replacement soap for 'Crinkley Bottom: the Soap' (see below).
Cash for Questions - series 7 game, replacing Grab-a-Grand. Someone was strapped into a horizontal wheel of fortune, in order to choose a caller. If the caller correctly answered their question, they would then have to guide a celebrity through the pitch dark Basement collecting bags of money, each containing £100.
Crinkley Bottom - picturesque, if slightly backward, English village in which Noel lives. It seems Noel is the most intelligent member of the community - other residents include Tony Blackburn, Pru and Mr Blobby.
Crinkley Bottom Observer - Crinkley Bottom's highbrow tabloid rag. Earlier editions of the House Party would begin with Noel reading out a selection of some of the paper's top stories.
Crinkley Bottom: The Soap - short-lived soap opera chronicling village life. It was one of the casualties when Noel pulled the show in 1998 - he described it as 'expensive and not funny'.
Crinkley Bottom TV - Noel regularly tuned into Crinkley Bottom's own television channel in series 5 to watch some pre-recorded sketches starring Mr Blobby. The channel's idents parodied those of BBC2.
Crinkley Bottom Wonderers - the most successful football team in the whole of Crinkley Bottom.
Dimensions in Time - Doctor Who infiltrated Noel's House Party which in turn infiltrated Children in Need in 1993 with this 30th anniversary special episode, for which House Party viewers were given the chance to phone in and choose which EastEnders character helped save the Doctor. Confused? Jon Pertwee guested on the House Party in the role of the third Doctor, leading Doctor Who fans to argue - is it canon?
DLT - initials of Dave Lee Travis, ie hairy disc jockey. See Gotchas.
The Door - front door to the Great House, where Noel would meet various celebrities and Crinkley Bottom residents.
Gotchas - elaborate practical jokes played on celebrities. Known as the 'Gotcha Oscars' until 1993, when the American Academy objected. One of the show's most popular features, they started on the Saturday Roadshow in 1988, meaning in 11 years over a hundred celebs found themselves the recipient of a Gotcha. Probably the greatest Gotchee of all remains DLT - when Noel and his team infiltrated his Saturday morning darts quiz on Radio 1, the Hairy Monster went apoplectic with rage, and provided us with one of the greatest televisual moments ever - "YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!!!" A revengeful DLT then proceeded to sabotage the entire programme.
Other memorable Gotcha victims include the highly suspicious Derek Jameson who eventually had to be Gotchaed three times over; Phillip Schofield getting his head stuck in a guillotine whilst presenting the Radio 1 Roadshow; Kriss Akabussi who laughed hysterically for five minutes following his Gotcha reveal; Jon Pertwee who took some time to cotton on even after Noel had presented him with his award; and Lionel Blair, with his famous 'Blair Stare' at a disguised Noel.
Mr Blobby (see also) made his first appearance in the Gotchas segment, with victims encountering him as the host of a shambolic children's programme.
Click here for an incomplete list of Gotcha victims.
Grab-a-Grand - long running phone-in game: a viewer would win time by answering a series of topical questions. A sports celebrity would then enter the Money Box which had wind blowing from underneath, into which Noel placed £1000 in bank notes, and try to grab as much of the money as possible within the allotted time. Later variations included Grab-a-Granny and Grab-a-Grand Piano.
The Great House - the location for Noel's weekly house parties. Unusual furnishings included the Gunge Tank and Money Box. The house would undergo extensive renovation work between each series, particularly in 1997, when the decor turned turquoise, and again in 1998 when the interior changed beyond recognition.
The Gunge Tank - tank filled with gunge. In the early days this feature would take the form of a gunge vote, by which two celebrities, eg Andi Peters and Edd the Duck, would be put to a public phone vote. Noel would end up in there at least once per series. For series 4, the Gunge Tank became the Gunge Train, and extended halfway round the house, ending in the fireplace.
Hot House - series 6. Top athletes were pitted against each other in a fitness test.
I'm Coming Out - series 8. A member of the public would reveal a secret to friends or family - eg 'I'm a belly dancer'. Cue much embarrassment.
Liam - Noel's rather wayward brother.
The Liszt and Newt - Crinkley Bottom's local hostelry.
The Lyric Game - quiz from the first series, continued from the Saturday Roadshow, in which celebrity contestants competed by singing the lyrics from well-known pop songs.
Michael Leggo - big cheese behind the House Party, Mr Leggo was the man who 'discovered' Mr Blobby, but famously received no money from all the merchandising.
Mr Blobby - pink and yellow blobbed creature - the real star of Noel's House Party. By the second series, the Gotcha ideas cupboard was already looking a little bare, so Mr Blobby was drafted in as a way of covering a lot of ground. But no one could have predicted the massive impact the Blobmeister would have on the British public. Within a year he became a permanent fixture on the show, and soon released an entire range of merchandise. Unforgettably, he knocked Take That off the top of the charts to score the Christmas number one in 1993.
Despite an attempt to keep him off the final series, Mr Blobby still managed to muscle his way back in. He even outlived the House Party itself, as regular appearances on Live and Kicking and Jim Davidson's Generation Game kept him on screen into the 21st century.
My Little Friend - the kiddie segment from series 6-8, this involved small children being faced with inanimate objects that start talking to them. In the final series, Phibber the frog and Waffle the squirrel spoke to the children, and sometimes scared them away.
Noel Edmonds - bearded owner of the Great House and purveyor of house parties.
Noel's Garden Party - a touring version of the House Party from 1993, in which Crinkley Bottom was recreated at Doncaster and Haydock Park racecourses. The latter was televised.
Noel's New York House Party - towards the end of series 6, one show was transmitted live from an apartment in New York. Guests included William Shatner and Barry Manilow. Then early in the next series the show came from Universal Studios in Florida. Noel later described these trips away as 'straining the budget, daft and embarrassing'.
NTV - House Party's most revolutionary trick - viewers suddenly find themselves on television, via a microscopic camera installed in their living room. Some would be shocked, other bemused, others would simply try to run away. Whatever the reaction, they would subsequently end up doing some embarrassing performance in their living room or garden. Celebrity victims included Chris Evans, Garry Bushell and Dale Winton.
NTV - You're On Your Own - series 8 took the NTV concept a stage further, and victims found themselves spending a week or more on a remote Scottish island, in a US prison, out at sea etc.
Number Cruncher - series 4 and 5. Members of the public would race to get into this booth, located somewhere different in the UK each week. Upon entering, they would find themselves locked in, and with a direct line to Noel. In order to escape and win the prize, they would have to tap in a four digit code. Unsurprisingly, the booth also doubled as a gunge tank, as the contestant would more than likely discover to their cost.
Open the Cupboard - series 2. Various celebrities would be hidden inside a cupboard, and by listening to them sing, the contestants had to guess who they were. Musical accompaniment was provided by Pru on the organ.
Panel Beaters - celebrity panel game from the second half of series 7, in which celebrities had to spot the imposter from three members of the public with apparently bizarre occupations. If they failed...they got gunged...
The Panel Game - series 3. Celebrities would pop out from various panels in the woodwork to ask the contestants questions and crack jokes. Frank Carson would contribute virtually every week.
Party Pieces - Crinkley Bottom's talent contest from series 2, featuring a series of 'acts with no quality threshold', including Donald Duck impersonations and a tuneless rendition of 'Rule Britannia'.
The Policemen - Graham Cole and Andrew Paul from The Bill made frequent appearances at The Door ("I had chips with mine").
Pru - organ-playing resident of Crinkley Bottom, who bore more than a passing resemblance to Pat Coombs.
The Secret World of the Teenager - from series 7, a teenage version of Wait Till I Get You Home.
Shirts - Noel frequently used the House Party to show off his wardrobe of, um, interesting shirts...
Sofa Soccer - shambolic game from series 8, in which callers try to put footballs, dispensed from a ballblaster, past the goalkeeper.
Three to Go - game from towards the end of series 8. Noel would link up with three regional news programmes, who would each bring us an improbable-sounding news story from their region. The contestants would have to guess whether the stories were true or false.
Tony Blackburn - hapless resident of Crinkley Bottom.
Transmission dates - series 1: 23/11/91-28/3/92; series 2: 24/10/92-13/3/93; series 3: 23/10/93-26/3/94; series 4: 22/10/94-25/3/95; series 5: 21/10/95-30/3/96; series 6: 19/10/96-29/3/97; series 7: 18/10/97-21/3/98; series 8: 17/10/98-20/3/99.
Wait Till I Get You Home - another leftover from the Saturday Roadshow. Parents would try to guess the answers given by their child in a pre-recorded interview with Noel. Cue much embarrassment...
Wait Till We All Get Home - variation on the above, from series 5. This time all members of the family would be questioned about each other. Cue much embarrassment...
You Don't Bring Me Flowers - Noel would usually be Gotchaed himself once in every series. Most famously, Noel was forced to sing this song in its entirety before the show would end. The last show in each series was always particularly worth watching, as nothing would ever go the way Noel was expecting it to.
Zoot Cat - the penultimate episode of series 2 of House Party, in 1993, never happened, thanks to a bomb scare at the Great House. Instead, we saw a repeat of Noel's Christmas Presents, followed by Noel sitting in the broom cupboard introducing this Tom and Jerry cartoon.
From our YouTube channel, a trailer for the final edition of the programme.

Reading Recovery
Reading Recovery is a short-term intervention that targets children in Early Years. Children are taught individually by a specially trained teacher for 30 minutes each day for an average of 12-20 weeks. It is an individually designed programme that aims to accelerate pupils to age appropriate levels in reading and writing by focusing on comprehending new messages in reading and constructing messages in writing. Reading Recovery has continued to support children in Year 1. We are now in our 7th year.
In addition BRP (Better Reading Support Partners) has served chldren in years 2 and 3. Better Reading Support Partners is a 'light touch' reading intervention for pupils in Years 1 to 6 who have fallen behind at their reading. A specially trained BRSP delivers a short one-to-one support programme to help them develop independent reading and comprehension skills so that they can make faster progress and catch up with their peers.
Last year it supported 16 children enabling them to make rapid progress with their reading skills. 78% of the children made 5 levels progress in 10 weeks. One child made 14 levels progress.
We have also continued with the talking partners programme which provided support for 6 children last year.
This programme is an invaluable intervention especially for children with EAL (English as an additional language) and children from language impoverished backgrounds, as it helps them with their oral language which is a vital part of learning to read.
Due to the success of various implementations throughout the school which encourage children's oral language and questioning skills it will only be necessary to take 3 children next year on this intervention.
During this last year the staff have been implementing the inference training they have been given. Inference training is a group intervention for pupils in KS2 and KS3 who decode adequetly but fail to get full meaning and enjoyment from their reading. Evidence suggests that this applies to one in ten pupils. Therefore by giving the necessary children extra support with inference we are ensuring that we are giving them more control and insight in their reading.

Nugent rocks Perry ball with Confederate shirt
Perry's talk of unity hits a sour note, some say
AUSTIN — At his inauguration, after being sworn into office by the first black chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court — a man he appointed — Gov. Rick Perry spoke wistfully of a tolerant Texas, where "no one is invalidated because of their heritage, but valued because of their humanity."
If you ask critics, the spirit of unity didn't last through the governor's $75-a-ticket inaugural ball, held later Tuesday night at the Austin Convention Center.
Rocking the house as the night's final act was singer Ted Nugent, a friend of Perry's known as the "Motor City Madman." Nugent appeared onstage wearing a cut-off T-shirt emblazoned with the sure-to-draw-headlines Confederate flag and shouting some unflattering remarks about non-English speakers, according to people who were in attendance. His props were machine guns.
Spokesman defends event
"Ted Nugent is a good friend of the governor's. He asked him if he would play at the inaugural. He didn't put any stipulation of what he would play," Black said. He added that "Most people had a really good time and enjoyed the show."
However, some within Perry's party said the appearance was unbefitting a governor who may have national ambitions. "I think it was a horrible choice," GOP strategist Royal Masset said. "I hope nobody approved it."
The black-tie ball was just hours after an inauguration notable for its conciliatory tone. Perry was sworn into office by Wallace Jefferson, who descended from slaves to become the chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court.
In his speech, Perry extolled the virtues of bipartisanship, compassion for the poor and racial and class unity. The rhetoric was so moderate for a Republican governor from Texas that some news stories speculated Perry must have vice-presidential ambitions.
News of Nugent's appearance drew barbs from Democrats and civil-rights leaders.
"Whenever someone sports the Confederate battle flag, many Texans will be offended, and rightly so, because of what it symbolizes — the enslavement of African-Americans and more recently the symbol of hate groups and terrorists," Gary Bledsoe, president of the Texas chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, wrote in an e-mail. "The politics of the Confederacy and the Old South are out of step with mainstream America."
State Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, said the choice of entertainers reflected poorly on the Republican Party, and Perry in particular.
"This is clearly not the behavior of someone who's ready for the national stage. It's a sign of the times for the Republican Party. It's a divisive party. Perry knows his views and to feature him front and center, that alone says a lot."
Shocking people is nothing new for Nugent, and he's done it before in Texas. In 2000, he was banned from performing in The Woodlands after he let loose an expletive-filled tirade about illegal immigrants.
A hunting and gun-rights advocate, Nugent could not comment on his appearance at the inaugural; he was hunting, a spokeswoman said.

I currently have a server which has a DynDNS subdomain (let's call it foo.dyn.com). I also have a proper domain with a CNAME pointing to that subdomain (let's call it bar.baz.com). foo.dyn.com has a self-signed SSL certificate, while bar.baz.com has a proper CA-signed SSL certificate.
I've set up Apache to redirect non-ssl requests for either domain to
https://bar.baz.com, which works fine.
My problem is this: I want anyone trying to access
https://foo.dyn.com to get redirected to
https://bar.baz.com. I've tried 2 solutions and neither get it quite right:
- Have 1 VirtualHost, using the CA certificate. This obvious gives a horrible warning about domain using the wrong certificate when someone tries to access
- Have 2 VirtualHosts, one for foo.dyn.com with the self-signed certificate and one for bar.baz.com using the proper certificate. The foo.dyn.com has a redirect clause that redirects all traffic to
https://bar.baz.com, which works except that you still the the self-signed certificate warning. Also, some non-web browser HTTP clients (like wget) get foo.dyn.com's certificate when pointed at bar.baz.com
Is there a way I can get around this problem?

A Quasi-Keynesian Solution to the Great Recession
Imagine a two-firm economy in which the wages paid out by firm X are spent on the output of firm Y, and vice versa. If X believes Y will be hiring additional labor, then X will expand its output, and if Y believes the same about X, Y will expand, and the result will be a high-output equilibrium. If both X and Y expect the other to reduce output, then you've got a low-output equilibrium.
There are, of course, more than two firms in the real-world economy, but can we modify our simple model easily enough. Let's keep our original firm X, but call it General Electric. But now let Y represent not a single firm, but the other 499 firms in the S&P 500. Since the "S&P 499" comprises a large share of economy, it's not implausible to suppose that General Electric's sales revenue will depend on the hiring decisions of the "S&P 499."
And, we may add, that all the firms in the S&P 500 face General Electric's predicament, which is to say that their sales will also depend on the hiring decisions of the S&P 499. The trouble, of course, is that each of the S&P 500 firms is uncertain about the hiring plans of the S&P 499. So, what is to be done?
First, we can hook up all S&P 500 firms via a computer network (alternatively a wider range of firms could be included). Second, the "auctioneer" at the center of this network asks each firm how many additional employees it would hire in the U.S. if total hiring by other S&P 500 firms in the U.S. increased by X%. This pooling of conditional intentions would continue until a consistent set of intentions is found. If firms fail to meet their hiring "commitments," they are subject to a tax, and some portion of the revenues from this tax would be transferred to the firms which kept their commitments.
By this method, we can transform a coordination game, which has both high- and low-output equilibria, into an assurance game in which a high-output outcome is more likely than a low-output equilibrium.

Can the firms thus be coordinated unless they all have growth potential?ReplyDelete
Let us consider the possibility that there would not be a demand for General Electric's products even if people had plenty of money and saw no reason to save. They might be trying to sell products wrongly prognosticated to fill the consumer's needs. And let us consider that this predicament had befallen a large part of the S&P 500 firms, resulting in lots of people losing their income and fear gripping those who still could spend, spreading the problems all through the economy in untraceable patterns. Then partly, or even if possible, fully, reinstating that lost purchasing power would not help, as the partial glut initiating the depression would still remain. There has to be, in my model, some painful redistribution of capital, with those unknown firms who made the wrong decisions disappearing, or downsizing, or coming up with better products.
(But of course reinstating confidence and keeping the really radical monetary cranks at bay might still be necessary, and might only be done with convincing theatre. I for one would much prefer Roosevelt to many of his contemporaries, and would vote for Obama rather than Romney if I were an American!)

Bookbinding became a craft nearly 2,000 years ago. Since then, cultures have found ways to perfect this practice and today there are countless ways to accomplish book binding. Over time, books have been bound by hardcover binding, punch binding, thermally activated binding, stitched or sewn binding and even hand binding. Comb binding, a punch-binding method, is a relatively common binding practice currently in use. Other styles of punch binding include wire binding, VeloBind®, spiral or coil binding, GBC Proclick® and ZipBind®. Comb binding allows people to bind documents of varying size together by using a flexible, plastic spine.
To comb bind a document, the pages must first be loaded into a machine that is similar to a three-hole punch, but has several more holes. For manual machines, holes are punched into the document by pulling a lever. Nineteen rectangular holes are punched into documents that are letter size, and 21 holes are punched into documents that are A4 size. Comb binding machines typically have a set number of pages through which they can punch at a time, so pages may have to be done a few at a time rather than feeding the whole document into the machine at once.
After the document has been hole-punched, the user must choose an O-shaped spine. Spines for comb binding come in varying sizes and, because of their flexibility, can be removed after the document is bound to add or subtract material from the document. User guides that come with comb binding machines typically have charts that help people choose spine sizes according to the number of pages in their document. If the user guide can't be found with the machine, there are several available online, as the sizes are standard.
Once the O-shaped spine is selected, it is placed into teeth within the comb binder and, for manual binders, the user pulls a lever. The teeth separate the flexible spine, pulling the shape from an 'O' into an elongated 'C'. The pre-punched pages are now placed over one end of the 'C' and the user pushes the lever back to its original position, closing the spine and comb binding the document together.
If additional material needs to be added to the document at a later time, the book can be placed onto the machine into the teeth and the user can separate the binding, take out the pages and put in new pages once they have been hole-punched.
A relatively inexpensive way to bind material, comb binding machines can be purchased for personal use or for more large-scale ventures through companies.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

The mystery around the NBA is where Trail Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard will turn after being spurned by free agent Hedo Turkoglu on Friday.
Early indications are he has talked to representatives regarding free agents Andre Miller and David Lee, while also calling Charlotte to rekindle trade talks that stalled in February regarding Bobcats small forward Gerald Wallace.
Still, those talks appear to have led to dead ends, and certainly nothing serious, leaving nobody with a feel for Pritchard's master plan. "I'm good at a lot of things, but prying into the mind of Kevin Pritchard is not one of them," said agent Andy Miller, who represents key free agents Andre Miller and Antonio McDyess, as well as Blazers guard Rudy Fernandez. "I have no idea what he's up to."
The biggest insight into Pritchard's mindset came Monday, when a team source revealed that the Blazers are most likely to pull away from the free agent market and use their cap space to execute an financially uneven trade.
Teams under the league salary cap - and the Blazers expect to be $7 million to $8 million under when the cap is announced today or Wednesday - are not required to match salaries of the players involved. For instance, the Blazers can acquire a player making $10 million by using their $7 million cap space and sending a player making $3 million to the other team.
Many think the Blazers are in the market for a starting point guard, a dynamic small forward or a backup power forward. Turkoglu was a dynamic, multi-faceted small forward who was close to signing with the Blazers before electing to agree with Toronto.
Since the stunning reversal Friday evening, the Blazers have been active, according to agents around the league. Andy Miller said the Blazers first inquired about Andre Miller shortly after the free agent market opened July 1, but then the dialogue ceased. After the Turkoglu deal fell through, his phone line lit up again.
"I talked to him more this weekend than I have since the start," Miller said of Pritchard. "I talked to him Saturday and Sunday, but not (Monday)."
Mark Bartelstein, who represents Lee, said Pritchard took the same approach with him - talking briefly with him on July 1, then more frequent calls after the Turkoglu deal flopped. Bartelstein said the Blazers are interested in Lee, a 6-foot-9 power forward/center, even though he plays positions where the Blazers appear well-stocked, with LaMarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden and Joel Przybilla.
"I don't think they operate like everyone else, where they have to fit everyone into a hole," Bartelstein said of the Blazers. "They work to acquire great, young players and they make it work. And that's what I think they are doing, trying to get the best players they can. And if (Pritchard) has an over-abundance of bigs? That's a good position to be in in the NBA."
A Blazers source shot down the team's interest in Lee, saying they like him as a player, but don't want to pay him what he wants. And a source in Charlotte said the Bobcats are staunchly against trading Wallace, whom they view as a building block for the team's future.
That left Andre Miller as the only known scenario that still had legs. Miller, a 33-year-old point guard who played in Philadelphia last season, is viewed as an old-school point guard, one who passes before he shoots and excels at running the offense.
Miller averaged 16.3 points, 6.5 assists and 4.5 rebounds last season, shooting 47.3 percent from the field, but only 28.3 percent from three-point range.
Early in the free agent period there were rumors of a sign-and-trade with Philadelphia that would have sent Miller to the Blazers for Steve Blake and Travis Outlaw, but Andy Miller said his discussions this weekend did not include sign-and-trade scenarios.
"We talked about the direction of the team, the different roles players would have," Miller said.
It is unclear where the Blazers stand on Miller, but his agent left no question how he feels about Miller playing in Portland.
"It's a good fit, and I think Andre Miller puts them over the top," Andy Miller said. "They desperately need a starting point guard to take the pressure off Brandon Roy. Andre would be able to control the floor and give that team better direction in the open court. It's their team, and they've made great progress, but at some point, you have to make a leap forward."
Notes: Former Blazers forward Channing Frye was in Cleveland on Monday visiting with the Cavaliers. "I'm enjoying this process. I'm visiting with Cleveland now, and I'm still talking to other teams, but all I can think about is getting in the gym because no matter where I go I'm determined to show the NBA what I can do," Frye said in an email. Frye is also being courted by Denver, San Antonio, Washington, Orlando and Phoenix. ... Minnesota general manager David Kahn was in Portland this weekend to interview Blazers assistant coach Monty Williams for the Timberwolves head coaching job. ... Andy Miller said the Blazers have expressed zero interest in McDyess, the veteran free agent power forward. ... Miller also said Fernandez was not emotional about the Blazers interest in Turkoglu, despite reports that Fernandez was "infuriated" and considering playing overseas. "I know he didn't have personal issues with Turkoglu the human being, it was more of his being interested in what his role would be and how they planned to integrate him with Hedo there," Miller said.

Heidelberg Heights
LCA provides wastewater collection and treatment service for 145 residential properties in the Heidelberg Heights development in Heidelberg Township. Due to the location of this residential development, this is a stand-alone system and is not connected to our regional system of interceptors.
A wastewater treatment plant is located on the outskirts of this community and is designed to treat 60,000 gallons of wastewater per day. Treated wastewater must meet water quality standards as required by our permit from the state Department of Environmental Protection, and is discharged directly into an unnamed tributary in the Jordan and Coplay creek basin.
Upon request by Heidelberg Heights residents and the township officials, LCA acquired this system in 1998 after it had fallen into disrepair. Since then, we have rebuilt the treatment plant and continue to make repairs to the collection system to enhance the level of service provided in this community.

Follow this link for the recipe and have a delicious weekend everyone x

The parallel between the development of bread and agriculture
is undeniable. It is believed that these revolutionary
changes in the way humans cultivated their food began
in the biblical lands known as the "Fertile Crescent."
In this magical area replete with historical and cultural
significance, wheat was cultivated from wild grasses.
Ancient peoples first ate this wheat as a gruel of crushed
grain and water. Undoubtedly experimentation revealed
that baking this recipe resulted in a better taste –
and thus the first bread had been discovered. This original
bread was shaped into flat cakes and baked in fire or
on hot stones. Therefore, the first type of bread can
be classified as a flat bread. The next major development
in the bread making process was fermentation. The addition
of this latest advancement completed the set of fundamentals
necessary to bake bread that we are accustomed to today.
The flat bread developed by the ancients is the original
and healthiest form of bread in the world. Today, the
pita bread that Aladdin's Baking Co. produces is
a type of flat bread that continues this time-honored
tradition. Although a variety of baking processes have
surfaced throughout the years leading to various forms
of bread, it is clear that the original flat breads were
the ones enjoyed by Jesus, Mohammed, and Moses. So the
next time you treat yourself to a piece of Aladdin's
Baking Co. pita bread, know that you are not only improving
your diet from a nutritional standpoint, but you are also
enjoying the great taste that has endured for thousands
of years.

Summer Body Procedures to Transform Your Look
Are you ready for a mini-makeover this summer? Now is a great time to get a plastic surgery procedure that will enhance your look and give you that boost of self-confidence you need. The team of plastic surgeons at UNC Health Care can put together a treatment plan that will take care of those figure flaws and improve your silhouette. Whether you need to lose a few inches around your waistline or want a flat stomach, schedule a consultation with one of our surgeons to find out which summer body procedures will be right for you.
Here are some procedures to consider for your summer makeover:
Breast Implants
If you want to fill out that bikini and feel more confident at the beach, consider getting breast implants to enhance your figure. The breast augmentation procedure continues to be one of the most popular procedures among women in the United States and can help you achieve that hourglass figure you've always wanted. We offer both silicone gel and saline implants which provide different outcomes. Silicone implants help to create a subtle and more natural look while saline implants create a more pronounced and defined look. We can discuss different options during your consultation.
If you have a few stubborn pockets of fat, consider getting liposuction to slim down some of those problem areas. We can treat common problem areas such as the thighs, midsection, back, and back with a simple liposuction procedure. Liposuction is very effective for removing localized fatty deposits and you will be fully recovered within a few short weeks. If you're tired of hiding behind baggy clothing because of a few bulges or excess fatty deposits, talk to us about this body contouring North Carolina procedure.
Brazilian Butt Lift
When you want to add curves to your lower half and achieve natural-looking results, talk to us about the Brazilian Butt Lift. This procedure involves removing excess fat from a donor site and lipoinjecting the fat into the buttocks. We can create the perfect contours with this procedure and you can maintain results as long as you do not lose weight.
For more information about body contouring in North Carolina, schedule your consultation with
a board-certified plastic surgeon at UNC today!

"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." Mother Teresa
I had a friend tell me once,
"Just because you have a bunch of white friends with money – doesn't mean you're supposed to be a missionary."
I was so mad God wouldn't send me to Africa.
And this was just two years ago.
My friend and I weren't talking about white people or black people, we weren't talking about people giving money: don't miss the point here by reading trivial text out of context. We were talking about being mad at God.
I was mad because we couldn't adopt. I was mad because we weren't working in a church. I was mad because we couldn't be missionaries. I was mad because I felt like a pawn in the game called, Christian.
I was mad because I wanted to just do something and it seems like I was stuck doing nothing.
Because the truth of the matter is: sometimes you're tired of hearing, "Go into all the world" and you're saying, send me! And He simply says-
And I was sick.to.death of being told, no.
So I was crying. Well, screaming really. I think I even had serious booger action going on. I was a mess. On the phone with my friend, yelling about how angry I was at God for giving me crazy desires and no outlet for them.
Have you ever been there?
Where you're just crying out to God. I'm here and WHY DON'T YOU USE ME?
There's this lady I know. She sleeps with roaches.
And we're not talking a few roaches. We're talking: When we go visit her… we strip down before coming home and even hours later– we still feel the bugs. She lives in our town- population 3,000.
There's this lady I know. She wears Coach shoes. (Yes, the purse company, Coach makes shoes… I didn't know either) This lady? She lives in our town– population 3,000.
The cost of Coach shoes could feed a village in my beloved Africa. We're talking feed them for days.
Last week? My friend with Coach shoes, washed the feet of the lady with roaches. And even as I type this my eyes fill with tears. Every.single.time I think of it– my eyes fill with tears.
My friend with the Coach shoes? Yeah. Her. She washed the feet of the lady with bugs crawling all over her. She bent low on her dirty, filthy floor and washed her feet. She washed her feet while wearing her Coach shoes.
Because she understood. This lady isn't dirty and filthy, she is loved by a Savior. Her feet are precious and worth more than gold. Her floors, her feet? Those are just material things.
You see, just because we have feet adorned with jewls doesn't mean we can't love those whose feet are worn and tired, dirty and needing grace.
It wouldn't have mattered if it were Keds, Coach, or Reebok. Our friend with roaches only felt the sweetness of Jesus that day.
And she didn't care what kind of shoes Jesus was wearing.
There's this lady I know. She turns red faced when you ask her to speak.
There's this other lady I know. She needed new shoes. She's the lady with roaches.
My red faced friend? She was there when the feet washing happened. She left and bought new shoes. She returned with the shoes and cut them to fit our friend with swollen, tired, clean feet. While she placed the new shoes on her feet- my Coach shoe wearing friend and I dumped the water from washing the feet of our new friend.
We dumped the dirt and shame out of that bucket and returned inside to see her in new, shiny, dollar general shoes.
Our lady with roaches? She felt like a princess.
Here's the deal.
We were missionaries that day. And if I had moved to Africa I would have missed it. If I had stayed mad at God because he didn't fit the desires of my heart- the desires HE gave me-into MY box, the way I thought it should go… I would have missed it.
And those two crazy kids we adopted last year? If I had moved to Africa, I would have missed. it. If I had stayed mad at God because he didn't fit the desires of my heart- the desires HE gave me-into MY box, the way I thought it should go… I would have missed it.
And this church thing? This revolution we're starting? If I had stayed mad at God because he didn't fit the desires of my heart- the desires HE gave me-into MY box, the way I thought it should go… I would have missed it.
May we live boldly friends. May the desires placed upon our hearts change those around us. May we realize moving thousands of miles away isn't always the answer. May we be a people who are not above getting our Coach shoes dirty. May we be a people proud of who God made us and live boldly according to the desires placed in our hearts.
May we have the wisdom and strength to do things now. Not later when we are prepared. Not later when we've moved to our "Africa" may we understand God has equipped us now for good works.
May we realize, it doesn't matter. Coach shoes, shy and red faced, or angry hearts. God can do big things through each.and.every.one.of.us.

Battle in Seattle
In 1999, five days rocked the world as tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of Seattle in protest of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Environmentalists, consumer advocates, labor unions, students, anarchists and pacifists all converged, bringing attention to how the WTO's policies were affecting democracy around the world. The upcoming presidential election has now reinvigorated the debate over global trade policy. Django (Andre Benjamin), Sam (Jennifer Carpenter), Lou (Michelle Rodriguez) and Jay (Martin Henderson) are united in their desire to be heard and to make a difference, for these protesters, this is very personal and the stakes are higher than mere politics. A peaceful demonstration to stop the WTO talks quickly escalates into a full-scale riot and an eventual State of Emergency results. The streets are mayhem, the WTO is paralyzed. Caught in the crossfire are Seattle residents, including its beleaguered mayor (Ray Liotta), a riot cop on the streets (Woody Harrelson) and his pregnant wife (Charlize Theron). The choices they make will change their lives forever and prove, ultimately, that ordinary people can change the world.

Seward's All Everything Mark Recognized for Academics
KSCB News - May 3, 2013 1:31 pm
In a career in which she continues to pile up different
awards and records on the softball diamond, Thursday Seward County's
Stephanie Mark received recognition for her work on the field and in the
classroom as she was one of just three junior college student-athletes
out of the nearly 400 selected to be named Capital One Academic
The 2013 Capital One Academic All-District Softball
Teams, selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America,
have been released to recognize the nation's top student-athletes for
their combined performances athletically and in the classroom. Capital
One has been the entitlement rights holder to CoSIDA's Academic
All-America teams programs since 2011.
The Academic All-District teams include the
student-athletes listed on the following pages and are divided into
eight geographic districts across the United States and Canada. This is
the second year of the expanded Academic All-America(r) program as
CoSIDA moved from recognizing a University Division (Division I) and a
College Division (all non-Division I) and has doubled the number of
scholar-athletes honored. The expanded teams include NCAA Division I,
NCAA Division II and NCAA Division III participants, while the College
Division team combines NAIA, Canadian and two-year schools.
Mark was named to the District 6 College Division
Academic All-District Team. The District 6 team is comprised of players
from non-NCAA schools throughout the states of Kansas, Montana,
Nebraska, and South Dakota. Mark, a sophomore from Ogden, Utah, is an
Engineering major and holds a 3.83 GPA. Along with her success off the
field, Mark has had another outstanding year with the bat and the glove
for the Lady Saints. Throughout the course of the 2013 season she has
broken the school's all-time hits, doubles and RBI records and leads
Seward in five major offensive categories including batting average
(.438), hits (81), doubles (18), home runs (17), and RBI's (68).
First-team Academic All-District honorees including
Mark now advance to the Capital One Academic All-America Team ballot,
where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be
selected later this month.

A secular humanist Jewish chanting ceremony that is both musically adventurous and spiritually meaningful.
Segulalelo-lelo-lelalelo. The name compounds a Kabbalistic amulet and an Acid Mothers Temple freakout. These are the influences and the means through which we are remedied. This is our Acid Mussar Temple. .
Segulalelo aspires to create a communal ritual, a form of chant drawing from the Texts.
"Chant frees words from their lingual casings. Phrases bisect into feelings and rhythm. Focus blurs and sharpens on the rises and falls of a tongue. We hear drummers. We deepen understanding by repeating one meaningful thought rather than by plodding through so many. The beat is our breath. Our breath is our life. We breath together, we live together, we beat."
Segulalelo consists of members of DeLeon, Zion 80 and Sha'ar.

Hello from Tulsa! I flew in for a quick weekend trip to see my parents AND my sister and her family will be there, too! Holler!!! We are having family pictures taken and it will just be fun to have everyone together again! Ok- now back to my super fun weekend recap!
—– Saturday —–
We started the day with breakfast tacos from Taco Cabana. I forced Jen to order an extra tortilla just to eat and I think she was happy with that decision. Fresh made tortillas are the bomb. Next we went downtown next so I could show Jen my office and give her the "Kelly tour" which included Dealy Plaza/the grassy knoll, the JFK memorial, the 30 ft. eyeball sculpture, and a few more touristy spots along the way.
We stopped by Sprinkles Cupcakes while driving back toward my apartment to take a peek at the cupcake ATM and we maybe got some cupcakes. We also maybe got some ice cream at the Sprinkles ice cream shop next door. We also maybe ate those cupcakes for lunch back at my place. Vacation calories don't count, right?
We spent the afternoon soaking up some free A/C while watching the movieTrainwreck, and then we went downtown again to check out the sights from the Geo-Deck inside Reunion Tower. The view was incredible! We spent quite a bit of time up there and eventually went down to the yard behind the tower for the Reunion Lawn Party.
The Reunion Lawn Party actually pretty great. It's a free even held the last Saturday of every month during the summer. There were food trucks, lawn games to play, water stations all over (it was SO HOT and that water felt SO GOOD!), bands performing- it was awesome! It was way too hot outside for us to eat hot greasy food truck food (even though it all looked so good…. blame the giant bag of popcorn we demolished at the movie) so we drove North, stopped at Freebirds to get burrito bowls, and then ate them at my apartment while watching more New Girl.
