When he came to live with me, Kenji spoke virtually no English. He did understand most of what was said to him, and he was learning to speak. This was the reason he had come to the USA.
As it came out (as he learned to express himself), he had gotten his Ph.D. ( in so many words…I learned this when a piece of mail came addressed to him as "Dr. Kenji…"), had been working on projects with military applications in his home country, and kept having his projects cancelled by the US government. Sort of ironic, as he has military clearance here, and the companies he contracts with do a lot. So—what I am saying is—- the US government wouldn't allow him to do this for his own government…. if he is going to do anything, he is going to do this for the American government.
Ok. Of course, since I am a blabbermouth, I don't know what he is actually working on, but I do know he worked on some coatings, and he worked on a waste-to-energy machine…and this because USA Today published a photo of him looking at this machine on the front page, after his team delivered it to a military base.
Kenji tends to be a quiet guy, but now he's been here long enough that he has no trouble expressing himself. When I was having car problems, he let me know in no uncertain terms that it was due to my neglect that this happened, and I was too stupid to own a car. Never mind that I taught him to drive—in my car—on the right side of the road so he'd be prepared when he got his own car, and I smoothed the way though other petty aggravations that are part of modern life.
He got the second job he applied for, and the company paid for him to get a 'green card'. He does tedious work that most Americans are either not qualified to do or too lazy to do. He is very patient. He was with the company several years when he told me the company—which had been in business over 30 years, was going to go out of business. I asked him how he knew this, and he said there were too many 'support staff' and not enough engineering contracts to support having so many people not adding value .
The company DID go out of business. This was just after Obama was elected and everything was a mess. He still satisfied the government contracts that the company had, but then he got contract work in dribs and drabs. However, living with me is relatively cheap. So, this went on for a couple of years, and then….
His former co-workers always stayed in touch, and they formed a new company, and suddenly Kenji is making money again…and because of how the company is structured, he is an independent contractor (as I have been much of my life), and he has to pay quarterly estimated tax… For him, is about $15,000 a quarter. He is paying more in taxes than I make in a year.
He's maxed out his IRAs, and doesn't own any property or have any tax shelters. I have suggested setting up a deferred compensation plan, but he has told me he is ineligible because one of his contracts pays him as an employee. I have suggested, also, that he consider making donations to some nonprofits. He knows I support dog rescues and that his favorite dog came from a rescue. He is Japanese, and is donating nothing. I've explained that he might be able to cut his tax rate, but he is stubborn. Oh well.

ShareNewton, MA: Biking Then and Now By Jim LowensternPosted Wednesday, Apr 23, 2014 tech

[caption id="attachment_1037" align="aligncenter" width="400"] Photo from Rally & Ride 2009[/caption]

Newton can arguably be called the birthplace of American biking. With the first ordinary bicycle (also known as the "penny farthing" bike) made by Englishman R.H. Hodgson in a shop in Newton, and with the first and largest American bicycle manufacturer having roots as a Newton resident, Newton has had its fair share of bicycle history. But as a city we have come even further to making Newton  bicycle-safe. With Bike Newton, an organization dedicated to making bicycling a viable method of transportation, Newton has several ongoing projects that are aimed to making bicycling a continuing trend in the future.

For more history of bicycling in Newton, check out the Castles Unlimited  blog "Newton, MA: The Birthplace of American Biking"

History of Bike Newton

[caption id="attachment_1038" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Anne Lusk speeks to bikers at the 2008 Rally & Ride Image from bikenewton.org[/caption]

Bike Newton began as a name for a rally. In 2007, members from Green Decade Newton and the League of Women Voters came together to change Newton from being car-centric to bicycle-friendly.

Even with bike enthusiasts asking for change, the City government didn't seem interested in making roads safer for bikers; even in spite of the Commonwealth's Paulsen Bill mandating the road projects include bike accommodations like lanes and paths. The City avoided adding bike accommodations even after the pro-bicycling Newton Comprehensive Plan and Newton Energy Action Plan were passed.

 But in 2008, over 300 people took part in a rally to show City Hall that people would bike more if roads were bike-friendly. Bike Newton created a lot of buzz at the Veteran's Memorial steps, with a speech from Anne Lusk about safe bike accommodations, short bike rides, and even a meet-and-greet with Mayor Cohen.

Bike Newton went from event into organization, and they put together 2 more successful Rally and Rides in 2009 and 2010, with Boston's "Bike Czarina" Nicole Freedman and the first, and Newton's new Mayor Setti Warren leading the ride at the second. These events had the help and participation from many organizations, including Newton Bicycle and Pedestrian Task Force, MassBike, and Livable Streets.

After the success of the rallies, Bike Newton was awarded 501 c3 nonprofit status, and Mayor Warren appointed the Transportation Advisory Council the first "Share the Road" signs and the first miles of bike lanes on Beacon and Walnut Street.

Lois Levin has recently been appointed Bicycle Coordinator and Alicia Bowman appointed Pedestrian Coordinator. These volunteer positions in City Hall provide citizens with a contact for planning, transportation, and policy issues to do with biking and walking.

Newton as a Bicycle-Friendly Community

One of the ongoing projects Bike Newton has been in charge of since its start was applying to have Newton recognized as a Bicycle Friendly Community. They applied in 2009 after several subcommittees of Bike Newton's Steering Committee got portions of the application signed by the City of Newton.

Though the initial application was turned down, the feedback that was sent back in 2010 and then again in 2012 has created the base for improved planning. In March 2010, Bike Newton coordinated a community-wide meeting with city planners, policemen, Aldermen, and citizens to discuss the feedback and pinpoint areas for action.

The meeting led to Mayor Warren's creation of the Transportation Advisory Committee, a committee with a one-year charge to make wide-ranging policy recommendations for transportation in Newton. They created a permanent Transportation Advisory Committee to enact some of their recommendations.

And in 2013, the League of American Bicyclists, a national cycling organization, named Newton among the most bicycle-friendl communities in the country. Newton received a "bronze" status in its spring 2013 list. Its status was determined on factors such as bicycling infrastructure improvements, education and public outreach, and staff and police involvement.

"We are very pleased to see more Massachusetts communities honored for their bicycle friendliness," MassDOT Secretary and CEO Richard A. Davey said in the  press release. "Our mission is to provide safe, healthy, and efficient transportation, and bicycle friendly communities to help support our GreenDOT policy objectives."

Bicycle Network Plan

The Bicycle Network Plan is a working document of the Bicycle Advisory Committee, a subcommittee of the Transportation Advisory Group, to provide "guidance to city administrator, planners, engineers (et al) that will result in a safe network that is both functional and enjoyable for all types of riders into the foreseeable future."

The primary goal of this plan is to increase the number of bicycle trips throughout Newton for many reasons, but with a special focus on environmental, health and quality-of-life benefits.

The main objectives of the Bicycle Newton Plan are

1. To make bicycling in Newton much safer by ensuring that bicycling infrastructure will be built using the best possible design recommendations.

2. To increase bicycle routs in Newton by creating a network of safe, low-stress routes

3. To create first-class bicycle accommodations on critical corridors connecting points of interest, north/south and east/west

To read the full plan, click here.

Improving Needham Street

Starting with the Bike Summit in March 2010, Bike Newton has been working towards creating a new vision for Needham Street with an MBTA Green Line extension: a tree-lined boulevard with ample space for pedestrians, bikes and cars.

This Green Line extension would extend the Green line from Newton Highlands own to Needham Street using the existing rail-bed that is right behind Needham Street businesses.

This could possibly create significant opportunities for growth in the corridor, and would have significant environmental benefits to our communities by reducing energy consumptions and traffic pollutants in this otherwise congested part of our community.

Bike Newton is in support of this effort, with many other groups because the rail-bed is wide enough to safely support both light rail and mixed-use paths. This could facilitate a new Needham Street to take shape, one that respects the "complete streets" concept that calls for streets to be equally accessible to pedestrians, bicyclists, transit, as well as cars. To read more about "complete streets" click here.

For more information on this MBTA Green Line extension, click  here.

Improving Washington Street

The Washington Street Corridor Improvement Project is a plan written by Eunice Kim, a recent Bike Newton Steering Committee Member and graduate student at Tufts School of Public Policy, to improve the streetscape of Washington Street. Currently, it is both unsafe and unfriendly for non-motorists, but this plan maps out potential improvements that would add to both the safety and aesthetic appeal.

In this plan, some parts of Washington Street would have one car travel lane in each direction, and other parts would have more than one travel lane in order to make room for all forms of transport: cars, buses, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians. At the moment, some feel there are too many car travel lanes, which diminishes the idea of sharing the road. Improving Washington Street would make it more accessible by other means of transportation.

Bike Newton Services

Bike Newton encourages people to bike safely. Some services they include are:

1. Weekly rides around Newton to familiarize people with safe routes and safe biking practices

2. Valet bike parking at the Cold Spring Park Farmer's Market every Tuesday from July to October

3. Biking safety courses by League of American Bicyclists-certified instructors, for all skill levels and ages

We know that we can unblur the lines, but can we reblur the lines after we read the code so we can refocus on only the lines we change?
Leann, as soon as your mouse leaves the code area, it should reblur. Please let me know if this is not actually happening for you.
In the video that we just posted on Youtube, you can watch what is happening while David is instructing in about 20 seconds in. Would you compare please and see if this is functioning properly for you?
Thanks Leann!

Want to return 404 from a method...
It's as easy as
return HttpNotFound();
Can also put a message in
return HttpNotFound("No such puppy");
For other errors, you can throw an exception, e.g.
throw new HttpException(403, "Disallowed file extension. Only image files are permitted.");
Or for 403 — try this:
return new HttpUnauthorizedResult(message);
And there's this as well...
return new HttpStatusCodeResult((int)HttpStatusCode.OK);
Breaking news...
In .net core you do this:
return NotFound();
Or even:
return NotFound("No such kitten");
The comment on this is funny (the comment you see in a tooltip in visual studio)
// Summary:
// Creates an Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.NotFoundResult that produces a Not Found
// (404) response.
So on the one hand we're trying to be transport-agnostic, removing 'Http' from the name... on the other hand we still need to let the developer know that this is really 404. So we embed it in the comment. Wink wink.

Esurance is one of the premier online discount insurers owned by industry giant Allstate. Although Esurance offers insurance products in auto, homeowners, renters, and motorcycle, its main bread and butter products are for auto and motorcycle.
Given everything has gone online, it behooves you to check for no obligation quotes online with a company like Esurance. They consistently offer some of the lowest auto insurance rates today. If you are a good driver with no prior traffic violations over the past 1-5 years, depending on your state, you may qualify for even further auto insurance discounts. Further, if you add a renters or homeowners policy to their auto policy and complete a defensive driving course, extra discounts may apply
As an auto insurance policy holder, your main concerns are price and whether the insurance carrier will be around to pay a claim. Esurance checks both boxes.
Let me explain some important auto insurance basics before you choose a policy.
There are three things you want to protect with auto insurance in case of an accident: 1) You and your passengers, 2) Your assets, and 3) Your vehicle. Most people would choose protecting you and your passengers as the most important purpose of auto insurance. I would too. However, it all depends on the premiums and how wealthy you are.
1) Insurance To Protect Your Financial Resources
Let's say you are multi-millionaire who employs 10,000 people who depend on your existence to put food on the table. If you go down, so does the company. Protecting your financial assets might be more important than protecting you and your passengers sad to say! If you nod off and accidentally kill several pedestrians on the sidewalk, you can be sure you will be in a legal battle for multi-millions of dollars. You will be all over the news and you won't be able to focus on running your company.
If you did the same thing and were poor, the victims or family of the deceased can't squeeze blood from stone. As a result, you care less about protecting your own financial resources since you have little, and care more about protecting the passengers in your car. Of course, if you are the multi-millionaire, then you can afford to care for everything and get the most protection possible.
Bodily Injury Liability: If you hurt someone in an auto accident, the insurance company will pay a certain amount. In my case, I elected for $300,000/$500,000 per person/per accident.
Property Damage Liability: If you damage someone else's property in an auto accident, the insurance co will pay a certain amount. My insurance company pays $100,000 per accident to property.
2) Insurance To Protect You And Your Passengers
You can be the most careful driver in the world, but that is only half of the equation. If someone else is careless, they can easily crash into you and cause damage. Even though auto insurance is mandatory for all drivers, many drivers still do not have auto insurance! As a result, your insurance needs to protect you from others.
Uninsured Motorists Bodily Injury: If an uninsured or underinsured driver injures you or your passengers. I elected $300,000/$500,000 per person/per accident.
Medical Payments: Covers you or your passengers. If someone runs into you, or you run into someone else and have an injured passenger, you want to be able to provide financial coverage for any medical expenses they may incur. Hopefully, your passengers will not sue you if you don't have such coverage, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I have $100,000 per person.
Extended Benefits: Wage earner disability benefits, essential services disability benefits, death benefits. If an auto accident causes so much physical or mental pain that you cannot return to work, your extended benefits beyond your company's short term disability benefits will kick in if you do not have long term disability insurance. I pay $5.10 for minor distribution of all three. I have my life insurance and disability insurance from work to cover 100%.
3) Insurance To Protect Your Vehicle
One of the most wonderful things about driving a 12 year old vehicle is that it doesn't cost much to replace. Moose, my SUV is probably worth no more than $3,500. If I was to get in a car accident, the cost to fix whatever part of Moose will probably cost at least $1,000. At this point, it's better to just donate him to charity and consider buying another vehicle. As a result, I do not have comprehensive insurance.
Comprehensive: Covers damage caused by something other than another vehicle such as hail, theft, and collision with Bobo the bear. If you have a shiny new $50,000 BMW, you should get comprehensive insurance because you'll want to fix it in an accident and you won't want to pay thousands of dollars to do so. The more expensive your car and the more dependent on your car, the more you should consider getting comprehensive insurance.
Collision: Covers damage to your vehicle caused by impact with an object other than an animal. Gray area here, given this is what comprehensive is for. I declined coverage.
Uninsured Motorists Property Damage: If an uninsured driver damages your vehicle. If an uninsured motorist damages Moose, I will just ask him to pay for everything, otherwise, I will introduce him to my cousin Viktor, who will break his legs for non-payment.
Towing & Labor: Provides emergency roadside assistance such as towing, flat tire, jump start, and delivery of gas. This service is a life saver! I've run out of gas, had an older car not start before for some reason, blew out my tire, left my lights on, and each time needed roadside assistance. Takes no more than 45 minutes to get everything fixed. I recommend everybody get towing & labor. I pay only $5.88 and I can't believe it's not at least $100 every 6 months.
Great Auto Insurance Is Imperative
As a car enthusiast, I'm always shopping around for auto insurance every time I trade vehicles. I've consistently found that Esurance provides some of the best rates with the best policies online. They've got a great mobile app that's user friendly. Getting a no obligation quote is a cinch. And they offer 24-hour claim service, vital because you never know when you might get into an accident.
FinancialSamurai.com was started in 2009 and is one of the most trusted personal finance sites today with over 1.5 million pageviews a month. Financial Samurai has been featured in top publications such as the LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, Bloomberg and The Wall Street Journal.

Inspiring Quilters, Stitch by Stitch
At about 9:45 tonight, Halloween, after spending two hours handing out candy to 200 kids...in the rain, of course and enjoying hot dogs at the neighbors afterwards, I finished the quilting on the last of the 15 quilts. Whew! and three days ahead of schedule too!

South Ayrshire Council appoints new Executive Director
South Ayrshire Council has appointed a new Executive Director to its Corporate Management Team with responsibility for planning, tourism, roads, waste management, property and assets, environmental health, trading standards and customer service.
Lesley Bloomer (pictured above) will take over as Executive Director of Development & Environment when Graham Peterkin retires in the autumn.
Lesley is currently a Performance Adviser working through SOLACE (Society of Local Authority Chief Executives) Enterprises to help Scottish Councils improve their performance and has worked with around 12 of the 32 local authorities in the country.
She is also currently Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Scottish Environment Protection Agency.
She previously held the role of Director of Performance Audit for Education, Enterprise and Justice with the public sector watchdog Audit Scotland, where she led teams to deliver a series of influential performance reviews. She also sat on the Board of the Care Commission and played a key role in establishing the overall strategic direction of the organisation.
Councillor Bill McIntosh, Leader of South Ayrshire Council, said: "This is a challenging time for local government and it's vital we have the right people in place as we move forward. I am delighted Lesley is joining South Ayrshire Council and look forward to working with her and the rest of the Corporate Management team to make a positive difference for the people and communities of South Ayrshire."
David Anderson, Chief Executive of South Ayrshire Council, said: "Lesley brings considerable experience from both public and private sectors and her impressive record in performance management speaks for itself.
"I'm sure she will make a strong contribution to the Council as we continue on our improvement journey and will play a key role in the Corporate Management Team as we work to establish South Ayrshire as the most dynamic, inclusive and sustainable community in Scotland."
Lesley said: "I am delighted to be joining South Ayrshire Council and I look forward to working with my new colleagues in Development and Environment, as well as across the Council and our many partners.
"South Ayrshire is where I grew up and it's great to be able to contribute to its future prosperity and quality of life."

I wish her the best of luck in the position.
Personally, I was hoping that we would have a Tourism Minister.
A Tourism Minister who could concentrate on tourism alone.

Berwick crashed out of the CIS Cup at the first hurdle as Forfar claimed victory with a late Darren Henderson goal.
Paul Smith's Shielfield Park outfit created a handful of chances in a generally scrappy game but just could not find the target although new signing Gary McCutcheon was desperately unlucky with one effort which was well saved.
Injury-ravaged Berwick who were without six first team players held their own until the dying stages but with only four minutes remaining Forfar struck with one of their best efforts of the game.
Henderson found the net with a superbly taken free-kick which rocketed into the net from just outside the penalty area giving the keeper no chance.
Rangers have also been knocked out of the Challenge Cup again in the first round.

Gorgeous Pictures
"Charlotte took some pictures of our daughter and her husband out at our farm. They are all wonderful. I had a very hard time deciding which pictures I wanted. The original compositions demonstrate their personalities and love for each other. Fun and serious. and some with their dogs! I would recommend Charlotte to anyone who wants beautiful pictures that capture the magic of the subjects." ~ Elizabeth
Awesome Photographer!
"Charlotte is an amazing photographer. She talked to my husband and I about how we met and took the time to learn about us before our photo shoot. She let us decide the location and took dozens of pictures. Choosing what prints to get was so difficult, because they were all excellent! They truly captured our personalities and love for each other. I would recommend her to anyone that wants beautiful, professional pictures from an AMAZING person!!!" ~Betsy Heitkamp, Aiken, SC.
Creative and Professional
"Charlotte is a wonderful photographer with a great eye and she is very creative! She is very professional as well as friendly and helpful. She did a fabulous job with our engagement photos and wedding pictures, and got all of the shots I asked for. She is so easy to work with and does a great job editing the photos and still gets them back to you quickly. I love all my pictures and I wouldn't have wanted anyone else!" ~Mary Alexander Barron
"I'll try to keep this short and sweet because honestly, there are just too many good things I can say about Charlotte Ashley Photography. First, she was referred to me because my initial photographer for my wedding was not available on the dates I needed her. I was a little skeptical but I knew she had to be good based on the referral. Charlotte called me and we talked on the phone so that she could understand a little of how my husband and I met etc. Second, her prices (I thought) were very reasonable but she asked me what my budget was and stuck to it. She told me what she could do within my price range and I was more than pleased. Last (and I could keep going), she is a true pleasure to work with. Everyone at the wedding, including myself and the wedding party, had nothing but positive things to say about working with her. She captured some of the most beautiful moments and I couldn't have been happier with a photographer. I trusted her with my special day and she did not disappoint in the least. I truly couldn't thank her enough for the work. I highly recommend Charlotte Ashley Photography for any occasion. There's no question that I will reach out to her for my next professional photo session!" ~Cassie Ayers Pruitt
Made me Feel Comfortable
"Charlotte is a phenomenal photographer, I couldn't have asked for anyone better! First off let me express how much I don't like taking pictures, I am extremely uncomfortable in front of the camera. I wasn't looking forward to the bridal shoot, I figured it would be a long, boring ordeal but it was the complete opposite. Charlotte was so much fun and made the photo-shoot a blast, I felt like a model and looked like one after I saw the pictures. Charlotte also photographed my rehearsal and wedding day (which were in Charleston so she had to travel, and it didn't cost an arm or limb for her to do so like other photographers I looked at). To be honest I don't remember much about the rehearsal (it was an extremely hectic affair) but the pictures turned out great. On the wedding day, Charlotte went above and beyond, I was a nervous wreck and she was so accommodating and understanding. The pictures from the wedding are absolutely stunning, it's like she was everywhere at once, she captured every single moment I wanted and then some. I have over 400 photos from the wedding and I love every single one of them. She is very easy to communicate with, she responded to all of my e-mails and phone calls very promptly. I found her prices very reasonable and I was beyond satisfied with her services. I strongly recommend Charlotte for your wedding or any other occasion where you may need a photographer." ~Kelly Hogan

With the Big Three US automakers teetering on the edge of insolvency, it appears Washington may finally be ready to come to Detroit's rescue.
Only hours after both General Motors and Ford Motor Co. announced large third-quarter losses — and stressed that they are both rapidly running out of cash — President-elect Barack Obama focused on the industry's plight during his first news conference since Tuesday's election.
Above: 1910 Ford Model T
"I have made it a high priority for the transition team to work on additional policy options to help the auto industry adjust," Obama told reporters gathered in Chicago.
Just how bad a situation the automakers are facing was hammered home on Friday, when GM reported a 2.5 billion dollar net loss for the third quarter, bringing to nearly 57 billion dollars its losses since the beginning of 2005.
Ford's 129 million dollar quarterly loss, meanwhile, brought to nearly 24.5 billion dollars the deficit it has run up since plunging into the red in 2006.
Yet the losses only partially state the true depth of the problem for the automakers.
Going into the third quarter, GM had 21 billion dollars on its books. By the end of September, that had plunged to 16.2 billion dollars, coming perilously close to the 11 billion to 14 billion dollars it says it needs on hand to keep the company operating.
Ford burned through 7.7 billion dollars in the quarter, though its reserves are nearly twice as richer thanks to a massive line of credit it acquired last year.
Though it doesn't report its full financial data, the privately-held Chrysler LLC is also thought to be fast running out of cash: one reason, analysts believe, why its parent, Cerberus Capital Management, was so eager to sell Chrysler to GM.
That deal, however, was scuttled by GM, and observers believe Cerberus may now rush to find another buyer as the economy continues to worsen.
"I doubt there's anyone who challenges the fact that we're operating in difficult times, perhaps as difficult as we've ever faced in the auto industry," GM Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner said during a Friday conference call with reporters and industry analysts.
Detroit's situation has certainly worsened in the face of the current economic crisis that combines what many describe as a "perfect storm" of factors, such as high fuel costs, tight credit, job losses and rising commodity prices.
But the seeds of the current crisis date back to the last big oil shock, of 1979, which helped the Japanese gain a foothold for small, fuel-efficient products.
As gas lines faded from memory, the Asian automakers continued to gain ground by focusing on quality, something GM, Ford and Chrysler have only recently come to grips with — and with varying degrees of success.
Further compounding the situation, Detroit has been consciously slow to embrace changes in the American automotive marketplace, especially the shift from big trucks to small, fuel-efficient passenger cars.
And even where it has, lamented Consumer Reports' auto analyst David Champion, it has needed "more models that were exciting for people to buy."
Again, Detroit has begun to address that complaint, and a flood of more fuel-efficient — and exciting — models are on tap to debut over the next several years. The challenge now will be to keep that flow going.
GM President Fritz Henderson said Friday the automaker will have to cut back on some product programs in order to ensure liquidity.

Its a hard thing, i think, for men to find the medium between family and work. We grow up in this world where men are supposed to support their wife and kids and work until they hurt, so what do i expect.
but it is heartbreaking knowing that he can't take one day out of his week to spend time with me. To just hold me, or listen and not worry about getting things done or what is left to do.
Surprise me by waking me up in the morning just to hold me. Call me to let me know you care.
And dont sound so heartless when you are letting me know you can't make time. You are exhausted, I understand. But I love you and need respect as well. So respect how I must be feeling right now without you.

Anyone bummed out by Season 17 ?
Moderator: Big-Will
Re: Anyone bummed out by Season 17 ?
i think it was supposed to be a Christmas episode,
and it was very light-hearted with it's atmosphere,
with a friendly bickering between some of the characters. (i'll save u from the details..)
it just got me thinking how quite complicated these episodes have become, actually.
half the time i don't get what an episode is abt, or what it's trying to say, since i try to avoid news myself, as they get me depressed.
now, i get that SP is a series that follows with the times, and wants to have a say abt relevant things, but there used to be more episodes that were just plain silly, scattered around here and there.. it has a much heavier feel to it as of late. if there's bickering between the characters, it's far from friendly.
i miss episodes like "Fun times with weapons", "Follow that egg" or "Cow Days"!! yes, cow days. these episodes were more abt the boys (or the town..) and less abt the message. of course it's great to have the messages in them, but the delivering of it has become so complicated that i didn't even understand the end of "The Hobbit", and i'm 26 years old. "Let go, let gov" or "Worldwar Zimmerman" i didn't get at all. i just wish the messages weren't the most relevant thing abt the episodes, but the humor. it didn't used to matter if u missed something in the episode because u didn't quite understand it, u were still able to understand most of it, which wasn't the case for me with the two aforementioned episodes.
simple episodes. they were completely gone from this season.
1. Major Boobage
2. Tonsil Trouble
3. Imaginationland
4. Woodland Critter Christmas
5. 1%
Favorite Character: Kyle
Favorite Season: 4

My favorite would probably be Informative Murder Porn, though I also loved the Black Friday trilogy (fitting since my roommate just recently got me into Game of Thrones, lol).
Now here's hoping that Stick of Truth game keeps up with this quality streak they've got going!

IMO I think this is the case here..considering how SP was supposed to end in 2013 this isn't a surprise anymore,its like they are not even trying to give their best.Milo Vonnegut 3 wrote:I think we are all suffering from is, not necassarily from new episodes not being good (they are not that great in MY opinion), but from franchise fatigue.
My best guess is that South park will have like 25 more mixed episodes and they'll end it.
Re: Anyone bummed out by Season 17 ?
Oh, 30 more episodes.

Re: Anyone bummed out by Season 17 ?
I don't wanna sound like a know-it-all but I think people mightn't have got the world war z references fully, just how 1 dimensional and cheesy the family in the movie was, it was like rainbows and fairy dust came from those 2 girls ass holes. but not everyones going to have watched world war z so that episode probably didn't have a big audience.
I really really enjoyed the black Friday trilogy and investigative murder porn episodes.
the rest were also pretty good except for the goth kids one which was just boring. I think its unfair people saying goths are too far in the past to make fun of. I think matt n trey wanted to write about some characters who haven't really been explored in depth which were the goth kids. I guess the goth characters are a bit old fashioned now tho, they should've moved onto the next fad which most goth/emo type people do.
I think the worst thing about that episode was the corny ending where it was revealed it was all a reality tv show. it just seemed they couldn't think of a good ending like the crab people.
overall id say this was a good season.
Re: Anyone bummed out by Season 17 ?
Hopefully there will be better eps in season 18.

What I would like to see though is a return to the Die Hippies Die episode from season 6 somehow, maybe Hippies 2: The Hipster Evolution with a giant parody of the Noah movie to replace The Core reference with a wave of hipsters going to Coachella or something?

ISBN: 1-861003-11-0. -More of a compendium of papers on various XML topics of great interest to many developers (for example SAX versus DOM, EDI, using XML and CSS, and so forth) than a general work on XML, this book is a valuable addition to any active XML practitioner's work shelf (hence the title, I guess). Although the information herein is bound to get dated by 2001, it remains a handy XML developer's reference, particularly for those interested in using XML applications to capture and deliver content online. https://www.techtarget.com/network
Ducharme, Bob: XML: The Annotated Specification (The Definitive XML Series from Charles F. Goldfarb), Prentice-Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 1999. List Price: $44.99. ISBN: 0-13-082676-6. -Don't expect to learn XML from this book; expect a thoughtful and insightful exegesis of the XML specification instead. As such, this book is a must-have for anyone who needs to understand XML in depth, particularly how XML documents are structured, and about the concepts of well-formedness and validity. Also provides an incredibly valuable discussion of the XML processing model (or the way that XML documents are read, parsed, and interpreted at run-time). https://www.techtarget.com/network
Goldfarb, Charles F. and Paul Prescod: The XML Handbook, 3rd Edition (The Definitive XML Series from Charles F. Goldfarb), Prentice-Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ, 2000. List Price: $44.99. ISBN: 0-13-055068-X. -Goldfarb is, of course, one of the inventors of SGML, and a leading figure in the development of XML. Prescod's participation in the W3C's XML working groups gives him equal stature, if not equal name recognition. Although the book gets dinged for shoddy proofreading and repetitive examples, those in the know recognize this as a great overview of XML terms, concepts, tools, and techniques, and a great source of illustrative examples of what XML looks like, works like, and what it can do.
Harold, Elliotte Rusty: XML: Extensible Markup Language, IDG Books Worldwide, Indianapolis, IN, 1998. List Price: $39.99. ISBN: 0-7645- 3199-9. -At this point, I've read every introductory book on XML (and even written a couple) but this one remains my favorite because of the clarity of its writing, the humor and value of its examples, and for taking exactly the right tone with a beginning reader-not too technical, not too simple, but just right in terms of explaining and applying the many and sometimes subtle capabilities that XML can deliver to savvy content and document developers. For my money, it's the best book to get yourself started on XML. https://www.techtarget.com/network
Harold, Elliotte Rusty: XML Bible, IDG Books Worldwide, Indianapolis, IN, 1999. List Price: $49.99. ISBN: 0-7645-3236-7. -This book picks up where the other title by this author leaves off, and provides a stellar collection of examples, XML applications, plus discussions of tools, techniques, interfaces and more. When I'm looking for general how-tos or code examples, this book remains my favorite reference for that purpose. https://www.techtarget.com/network
Kay, Michael: XSLT Programmer's Reference, Wrox Press, Birmingham, UK, 2000. List Price: $34.99. ISBN: 1-861003-12-9. -This book covers the XSL Transformations, an XML application that can be used to convert information stored in XML format into HTML, among other forms. As such, it represents the best way to deliver XML content to today's (generally non-XML-aware) Web browsers. It is also a model for what any markup reference work should be: great writing, good explanations, and easy lookup for all XSLT elements and attributes, plus lots of useful examples and sample code.
