16 Non-Drug Ways To Lower Blood Pressure (Continued)
15. Be social. Researchers at the University of Chicago found that people with fewer social connections were more likely to have high blood pressure. In fact, blood pressure readings of "lonely" people were 30 points higher on average than non-lonely ones.
16. Enjoy chocolate, as long as it's dark. Indulge in a little dark chocolate every day. Several studies show it's good for heart health and reduces blood pressure. (Not to mention what it does for your mood!)

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay.

We've reassembled the issues from that year into a book form, complete with an articles section, a payphone photo section, and, of course, the infamous letters section, which clocks in at 56 full pages alone. This was also the first year that we published hacker fiction, and all four of the stories we printed are arranged in a special fiction section. In addition, we have full page versions of all of the covers, along with explanations as to what they all mean and the various things that are hidden within them. The whole digest totals 284 pages in PDF format and - since e-reader pages vary in size - really really big on Kindles and Nooks.
The Hacker Digest project is now moving in three different directions: the one-per-year digest of the most recent material (Volume 29 will be released this summer), the really early days (Volumes 1 and 2 are already out with Volume 3 in production), and now we're also moving backwards from when we started the digitizing project (Volume 26 was the first one published in 2010). Keeping track of our progress can be a bit confusing, but the main thing to remember is that we aim to get it all done eventually.
The only reason we're able to do all of this in the first place is because readers have supported the project. It's a tremendous investment of time and energy to do this properly and we're committed to preserving hacker history as best we can. Volume 25 is particularly interesting since it's still fairly current, but it's beginning to appear a bit nostalgic. In reading through it, you'll soon become aware of some subtle changes in the world of hackers and technology, which will no doubt give some insight as to where things are headed in future years. We're not exaggerating when we say that this probably would have gotten done sooner if we hadn't become so engrossed in the material ourselves.

USDA Agroforestry Strategic Framework - Fiscal Year 2011-2016
Download the Full Report (PDF, 885KB) Download the Agroforestry Fact Sheet (PDF, 1.75MB)
Agroforestry combines agriculture and forestry technologies to create more integrated, diverse, productive, profitable, healthy and sustainable land-use systems. Practices are focused on meeting the economic, environmental and social needs of people on their private lands. The forestry profession encompasses the science and practice of establishing, managing, using, and conserving forests, trees and associated resources in a sustainable manner to meet desired goals, needs, and values.
Forest Service Research and Development scientists carry out basic and applied research to study the biological, physical, and social sciences related to our diverse forests and rangelands.
The Healthy Forests Initiative focuses on reducing the risk of catastrophic fire by thinning dense undergrowth and brush in priority locations that are on a collaborative basis with selected Federal, state, tribal, and local officials and communities. The initiative also provides for more timely responses to disease and insect infestations that threaten to devastate forests.
USDA provides several landowner assistance programs and partnerships to assist private landowners and rural communities care for their forests, strengthen local economies, and maintain a high quality of life.

GDB 60: V-v-v-v-v-v-v Vinny and the Bolts
Jason Gregor
February 24 2009 01:01PM
Vinny, Vinny, Vinny and the Bolts. Or maybe it is Marty, Marty, Marty and the Bolts because after those two, the Bolts don't have much. The Bolts have scored the fourth fewest goals in the league, with 152, but 43% of their goals come from three players in Lecavalier, St. Louis and Ryan Malone.
Tampa gets basically no goals from their D-men. They have a league-low 11 goals from the backend, while the Oilers have 33 from the rearguards, the fifth most in the NHL.
The Bolts have also given up the fourth most goals, 191, so they don't score much, they don't defend very well and their goaltending is suspect. This should be guaranteed-win night for the Oilers, but this is a home game for the Oilers and nothing has come easy at home.
The Oil have 30 points in 28 home games, and are tied with LA for the fewest home wins in the Western Conference. What's even worse for the Oilers is that they have been outscored 75-81 on home ice.
Yes, their offence has been inconsistent, but the biggest reason the Oilers find themselves out of the playoffs today, is because they have no identity at Rexall Place. This isn't a tough rink for the opposition to come into right now. The Oilers don't amp up their physical play at home; in fact, they are much more aggressive on the road.
Tonight is the first of three straight home games, against teams that are beatable. Tampa, Columbus and Minnesota are not world beaters, and when you look at key stretches of a season, tonight starts an important three games.
Currently the Oilers are on pace for 87 points, which would leave them outside the playoffs. Columbus, Dallas and Minnesota are all on pace for 90 points. Granted those projections can change quickly with a two-game winning or losing streak, but today they are outside the playoffs. It looks like they will need 92 points to ensure they get in, so they will need to go 13-7-3, or 14-8-1 or 12-6-5 or some combination of that to make the dance.
Tonight is a must-win for the Oilers, and the line-up will be the same as Saturday.
- 27-10-83
- 12-89-26
- 18-13-46
- 85-51-33
Same D and Roloson will start again. The drive to the playoffs begins tonight, and the Oilers can't afford to hit the ditch against the lowly Lightning.
Were you at practice yesterday?
Was there any PP practice and if so - what were they working on?
What do you think about putting Nilsson in Horcoff's spot on the first unit and having Cole, Horcoff & Gagner on the 2nd unit?
I think our playoff chances are largely resting on the effectiveness of our PP down the stretch - would you agree?
A must win against a soft team with little other than a few quality players? What can go wrong here? Also, it's a Tuesday game...we do well in those don't we? Maybe they should wear the retro jerseys for extra luck. Anyone on the Bolts looking to bust out of a slump or get their first career goal? My Spidey sense is tingling and it's not that 'she looks hot in those lululemon pants' kinda tingling.

People will probably debate this a lot over the coming week or two, and a lot of the answer will rest with what moves (if any) are made at the trade deadline, but my question is this:
Who do you move off the forward lines to make room for Pisani when he's back? We're told he's close, that he's skating and practicing, but is he good? Is he in game shape? Is he going to be better than someone who's on the ice today?
The obvious answer, of course, is that SMAc is going to take a seat in the press box. Rightfully so, I think; Pisani is probably going to help the team more overall than SMac. But what about the 2-3 games where you really want to ice a 'deterrent factor'? When you need to keep the Boogeymen of the world honest and off of your star players? Who sits then?
Is Pisani better than Stortini? Maybe the Stortini of old, but not lately. Reddox? He too is digging the pucks out of the corners and finding chances in the blue paint. Brodziak? Then you have to shuffle the chairs to find someone else to play center.
Maybe someone goes cold in the next week or so and the question becomes rhetorical, but right now I don't see any obvious choice past SMac to take nights off while Pisani plays.

I think we need a FAQ for all these acronyms Wanye's inventing.
FMNF = Fire MacT Now, Fuckers
Hello, a friend told me about this site and he suggested maybe one of the loyal writers can help me out. Here is my situation.
I took my daughter to her first Oiler game of the year and I bought her one of the silent auction items. As we are from out of town, we could not take it with us as there were many items. One of the items was a PSP player.
As the Oiler office is closed on weekends and this is when I was heading back into Edmonton, I had a nice person from the Oiler office drop off all the items I had purchased at the Westin Hotel. I picked up the items and when we got home we noticed that the PSP player was missing. I called the nice lady at the Oiler office and she assured me it was with all the other items. I called the Westin Hotel and the Assistant General Manager assured me the items were under his lock and key until I picked it up.
Now my concern is I paid over $700 for these items as this was a charitable donation. My little girl was excited to get a PSP player but the PSP player was not there. The Oiler office says there is nothing more they can do and the Westin Hotel says there is nothing they can do.
Now, do any of you have any idea's on how I can get my little girl her PSP player with my $700 donation to the Oilers.
Any help would be greatly apprecaited.

@ bingofuel:
Hey, that sounds familiar - Glad I could help you out. :D
February 24 2009, 01:59PM
Must win tonight. Must win. That's all there is to it. Seriously...would it be too much to ask to have this team comfortably in a nice cozy playoff spot with 20 some games to go? Would it be that hard? Who saw this coming!?!
Sooooooo.....yah. GAME DAY!
4-3 OILERS, AND SMAC PUMMELS ARTYUKHIN, and one bad penalty for Ethan.....well maybe two.
@ sittingatmydesk: agreed, but considering that the coach is trying to salvage his job, I can't see that happening. Roli will play 20 of the remaining games and then get shelled so bad in the first round against San Jose or possibly Detroit.
I'll be watching Cole closely...
If he just "mails it in" the next three games we'll all have a pretty good idea about how Cole likes playing in Edmonton. I agree with MacT when he said our second line isn't going to produce unless all three guys are going. MacT also said that team success seems to track the success of that line. We need secondary scoring to make the playoffs.

@ Kevin:
I will email you to the address you have supplied to the site when you left your comment Kevin. I don't know that we can necessarily be of any help as we aren't actually affiliated with the Oilers but perhaps we can put you in touch with someone who can.
Must lose night, hopefully the Oil don't blow this one and win. Tanking the next 3 is vital if the Oil will be sellers at the deadline.

How can you hope for them to lose, if it's to get Mact fired then what happens if a NEW coach comes in and everything is the same who do you blame then, look around the NHL besides 5 or 6 teams everyone is very close so are all the other coaches to blame for the crappy play. Take the Ducks you could say more talent than us but are no better, Unless you have a couple big names you are in the same position as we are. Last time I checked we don't have Iggy, Cammi, Dion, Kippy. So get over it this team is where they should be not enough talent to be in the top four and that's not coaching.
@swany: Quite frankly I don't give a #%$@ whether MacT is fired this season or next, it would just be a bonus.
I want this team to dive so Lowe/Tambo don't do something stupid at the deadline. This team isn't going anywhere in the playoffs(spare me the anything can happen rhetoric), so why trade away picks and young players for veterans for a short run? I'd rather sell and since there are so many teams with delusions of mediocrity the price will be high, we could certainly get some good picks or better for some of our veteran chafe(Staios, Moreau,etc).
I'd rather wait for the future than throw it away for a short run, I think some patience is in order. If you're satisfied with years of mediocre crap than by all means root for a 7/8th place finish and a post season slaughter.
February 24 2009, 03:42PM
I hate to admit it, but Colin is right. The only thing that is going allow for change is if the Oil drop out of the race and become sellers. But they don't have to sell the entire farm because the sky is not falling. Despite what many people say, we do got some good players here. But it's the wrong mix. People will argue that we lack offensive punch, such as Gregor. And he's right. We do lack it. As he stated, we are one of the lowest scoring teams in the league. But why? Is it because these players lack the ability to score in the NHL? Is it the coaching style of Mac "D"? Or is it because they are all in some type of freak slump and can't find a way out of it? All three factors may play a role, but the most significant factor in my estimation is that this is a very small group of forwards and despite the couple of exceptions in this line up, they play scared. It seems on many nights that these guys lack intensity and grit. But in reality, they all lack balls. They play too small. Tambo needs to get rid of some roster spots and replenish them with some grit. The blue paint is where 80% of their goals should come from. But with these guys, its most goals come from the blue line. Obviously we'd all like to see a Hossa-like player put on our team and that may happen sooner than we think, but a more realistic approach would be to add character to the group.

Seriously? Pisani is bigger than Reddox, faster than Stortini and has a hell of a lot more offensive upside than both of them put together. He plays RW on the 3rd line. No brainer.
2-1 Bolts, shootout.

This team isn't going anywhere in the playoffs(spare me the anything can happen rhetoric), so why trade away picks and young players for veterans for a short run? I'd rather sell and since there are so many teams with delusions of mediocrity the price will be high, we could certainly get some good picks or better for some of our veteran chafe(Staios, Moreau,etc). I'd rather wait for the future than throw it away for a short run, I think some patience is in order. If you're satisfied with years of mediocre crap than by all means root for a 7/8th place finish and a post season slaughter.
Ask Pitt how all those first round picks look now, how about Atlanta, Florida, Do you want me to go on, Picks are a crap shoot what we keep trading away assets for picks and prospect that might never play. Pitt tanked it for 5 years drafted in the top 3 4 times Malkin, Crosby, Fleury, Staal, where are they at, we all want to model after Detroit when have they traded anyomne for picks and prospect. You can't even use the Hawks to win your point great picks but without there UFA signings they would suck Campbell, and Habby, Havlet, when are people going to see that a pick (if it's not in the top 5) won't help for 3 years and guess what in 3 years Hemmer steal of a contract is over. And we have been doing what your are asking all throigh the 90's man are we on top because of drafting. Your point holds no water. The Oilers can do what you are saying and in 5 years you will be one of the guys still waiting for the future. We have top 5 D in the NHL all signed, they need a 40 goal scorer and buddy you don't draft one that isn't a top 2 pick.

5-3 Oilers. Huge break out game. Smid scores!!! Cole scores!!! Horcoff scores!!! Souray scores!!! Nilsson scores!!!
I want MacT gone, but I think unless they go deep, he's done. What really keeps me up at night is Detroit or san Jose in the first round the way this team has played. It could be very ugly. I don't expect much to happen in the next week, maybe move a few vets, Cole for sure is gone. There will be no cavalry coming to town, but, maybe, just maybe they can add a guy or 2 that click......Ya gotta hope...

Were you at practice yesterday? Was there any PP practice and if so - what were they working on? What do you think about putting Nilsson in Horcoff's spot on the first unit and having Cole, Horcoff & Gagner on the 2nd unit?
THey don't really practice on game day. It is a skate around...I really don't know why they do it to be honest. Rarely do they work on a lot. There was some brief PP time. The PP hasn't been horrible lately, the problem has been their 5 on 3 and their inability to score a TIMELY PP goal. That has cost them some games as of late.
But like most teams there wasn't a lot of actual practice done on game day.
4-3 Bolts in a shootout.
St. Louis and Penner with hat tricks.
Stamkos with the SO winner.

@ Mike Krushelnyski:
Prior to November 17, the question of Pisani VS Stortini or Reddox would have been ridiculous, I agree. The reason I ask it now, though, is because Pisani hasn't played a game in over three months; I'm not sure he's the same Pisani, healed or no. Will the rust fall off after a game or two, or will it take a week or two? If the Oilers are still shooting for the playoffs (big if), I don't know that they have the luxury of patience at this point in the season.
Maybe Pisani comes back in top flight, scores the hattie in his first game, and makes the question stupid again, but I haven't seen him in practice and I don't know what level of game shape he's in. I want him back in the lineup because he's playing better than someone else, not because it was his spot first.

I see where you are coming from - but why not the anything can happen rhetoric... It has happened before. Yes, yes, that was a different team. But...
I say become sellers - but not necessarily for draft picks. Make sensible trades that will move extra bodies and salary (ie. small forwards like nilsson, schremp, and pouliot; staios, and sadly cole) for needed assets like a 3rd line center. I think it is unrealistic that we will address the first line LW. But if we can plug holes in the 2nd and 3rd lines, this team cant be written off as easily as some think.
At least one can hope.
@ Jason Gregor:
They skate on gamedays to loosen up their hockey muscles. If they skate in the morning loosen up and go have a nap they should be good to go. If they could only loosen up their drive and desire.
February 24 2009, 04:39PM
@ Mike Krushelnyski:
Pisani might be bigger than Reddox and faster than Stortini, but at least Red,Stor hit people! Pisani is a AHLer at best. He is the biggest pussy in the league! I cant understand why some of us Oiler fans are even looking forward to getting him back in the line up!He had one good playoff series THATS IT!!! Trade him for some water bottles!
February 24 2009, 04:42PM
The Oil have found ways to drop these "guaranteed wins" all season long on home ice and why would it stop now. Plus the Bolts just beat the East's best in Boston and look ready to play spoiler. And we all know when the stars come to Rexall, it means stats nights. Vinny 3 - Oil 2
@ Oilersordeath:
People look forward to getting him back for the other things he does well - like kill penalties. He and Stoll were arguably our best penalty killers in previous years. His 14 goals in the playoffs were just an added bonus. Regardless, I am sure that Pisani will score more goals than stortini and reddox on the third line while playing a better defensive game.
February 24 2009, 04:50PM
baggedmilk at the game. baggedmilk doesn't work tomorrow. Uh Oh.
Here's to belittling Martin St. Louis about his small womanly stature. HAR HAR HAR
February 24 2009, 05:42PM
February 24 2009, 05:51PM
Stortini on the 3rd line isn't ideal in anyone's books. I like Stortini and I think he can contribute to the team, but that contribution is always going to be in a 4th line role. The best you can say about Reddox is that he plays relatively mistake-free and works hard. Well Pisani's legs and hands may take a while to come back to him but his brain and his work-ethic are still there, so I don't think you lose anything by having him take Reddox's spot.

GO ESKIMO'S!!! Boy am I sick and tired of this season already. Never thought I'd actually be looking forward to football season in Febuary. Don't be surprized if the bolts have a breakout game tonight. They've actually been playing fairly well as of late. Could even see another ass whoppin.
W.T. has his SlingBox warmed up and ready to go. Just like the Oilers tonight. Oil will win big and Roli will stand on his head first 10 minutes of the game. W.T. says first line will have a large night tonight.
February 24 2009, 06:21PM
@ W.T.: W.T. can shut his pie hole until he learns how to write and talk, like a normal human being! Seriously man give it up already.
W.T. says don't worry Volfman, you will be in a better mood when Oilers wipe out Tampa tonight. Enjoy the game and don't forget to listen to Hall of Famer Rod and Fred Stauffer

I sure hope the Eskimos don't pull an Oilers and are as good as they look on paper.

February 24 2009, 06:46PM
Fack if I was Cogs I'd be choked that my linemates keep getting worse... I know Mac's looking to develop Gagner Cogs as centered but if they're looking for second line scoring why isnt Cogliano moved up to the second line. Its not like the goals Cole scores are ever due to who hes playing with. They're all solo efforts or rebound goals (with exception to the goal he scored in Calgary. The kids have been looking better and better on the PP despite not putting the puck into the net.......
W.T. says you must have him confused with someone else.
With Oilers last minute loss against Flames they will come out hard tonight. The $40m+ payroll will perform. All four lines will perform tonight. Much like Roger Nelson-great hockey mind, MacT will use Pyramid power under the bench tonight
February 24 2009, 07:08PM

The varsity boy's basketball teams at Carrier Mills-Stonefort and Galatia have certainly seen better days, but when the two get together one can always expect a showdown.
Both Saline County Schools have an enrollment of a little over one hundred students and each share a friendly rivalry within the Greater Egyptian Conference. This was certainly evident Friday night as the two faced for the first time this season in a match that saw the Wildcats walk away with a 67-37 victory.
The Wildcat's senior duo of Cameron Taborn and Josh Bailey topped all scorers with 19 and 15 points each, while sophomore Slayden Figg pitched in ten.
"We struggled with our motion offense throughout the game and have had a lot of trouble boxing out and getting rebounds throughout the season," Galatia head coach Kendall Hankins said.
After beating Grayville in November, the senior-less Bearcats have maintained only a single victory thus far into the season.
With a bit of veteran leadership in their favor, the Wildcats are 4-1 in conference play with an overall record of 5-10. With their lone loss within the conference coming from 1A powerhouse Gallatin County, the Wildcats have yet to go up against Norris City-Omaha-Enfield and Crab Orchard.
The Wildcats began the first quarter with a 12-0 lead before Bearcat junior Tyler Slone scored the team's first points with less than a minute left.
Galatia was behind 16-2 going into the second quarter, with Bearcat junior's Bodie Beckman and Adam Brothers, along with freshman Austin Stricklin, giving their team a ten point boost going into the second half.
The Wildcats were up 12-29 after half time, however, a cavalcade of missed shots from the Wildcat's leading scorers and a slow-moving defense allowed the Bearcat's to gain twelve points in the third quarter.
But a dozen points weren't enough to keep the Bearcat's afloat going into the game's final quarter and the Wildcats were able to keep a 30 point spread between themselves and the host team.
"We got a little lazier on both sides of the court as the game progressed," Carrier Mills-Stonefort head coach Mark Motsinger said. "That's something we definitely can't afford to do going into to our next game."
Coach Motsinger said his team's upcoming home game against Crab Orchard Tuesday night is an important one as far as seeding goes for the upcoming GEC Tournament at Southeastern Illinois College January 21-26.
"Crab Orchard has beat Galatia and NCOE and looks to be our main competition for the second seed in the Conference Tournament," he said. "We may have the home court advantage Tuesday night but it looks to be a tough, decisive game regardless."
Page 2 of 2 - The Bearcat's will also be back in action Tuesday night as they venture down to Hardin County Tuesday to take on the Cougars for the second time this season.

Absolutely my favorite tire.
By YrDavido
from Waterville Valley, NH & Florida
I've reviewed these before. Now I have 12,000 miles on three sets of Diamantes, I am even more enthusiastic. First, a great, smooth ride. Second, very low rolling resistance (I pass most other riders in my club freewheeling on downhill stretches). I've had seven flats during those rides--I rate that as excellent. Next tires will be Diamantes but I will upgrade to the new Graphene series. Those could be real game changers.
Better tire for real world
By Trytotri
from Washington, DC
About Me Competitive Cyclist
This is my first switch from 23 to 25. I use this tire on my training bike. I wanted a tire that felt as fast as my racing 23 tires but was more forgiving and had better grip in varied conditions. This tire exceeded my expectations in both areas. The additional 2mm greatly increased comfort, the center hard, flast strip kept it a fast tire, and the softer grooved sides made a big difference in cornering. And on top of it all, the two tone color scheme looks fantastic.

By Treking down the road
from St. Charles, MO
I ride 3-4 times a week averaging over 100 miles. From the first several uses, I would anticipate excellent wear from these tires, much better than the Bontrager's that I had been using. The jury is still out on the performance of the tires, but so far so good.

China 500 merchants such as Dangdang and Yihaodian are preparing for a date in the near future when m-commerce could account for up to 50% of all web sales. China now has the world's largest mobile base, with an estimated 1.1 billion subscribers.
Mark Brohan
The mobile commerce market in China is currently about half the size of the U.S. m-commerce market, but many China 500 merchants already are preparing for the day when mobile could account for as much as 50% of all web sales.
Mobile commerce in China mushroomed to $15.7 billion in 2013, up by 101.3% from $7.8 billion in 2012 and 2925% from $400 million in 2010, iResearch says. As soon as 2015, China's mobile commerce market could reach $41.40 billion, iResearch predicts. In comparison to China, m-commerce sales in the U.S. in 2013 grew about 64% to $34.2 billion from $20.9 billion in 2012, according to Internet Retailer's Mobile 500.
M-commerce is growing in China for several reasons and in years ahead may even be the way the majority of Chinese consumers shop online, says Forrester Research e-commerce and China analyst Kelland Willis. China now has the world's largest mobile base with about 1.1 billion subscribers, says Forrester. "The uptake of mobile commerce will push China's e-commerce market to new heights," Willis says.
Seeing that growth in m-commerce, many China 500 merchants are gearing up for a further uptick in traffic and sales from mobile shoppers. Dangdang, No. 10 in Internet Retailer's newly published 2014 China 500, began selling books online in 1999 and now operates a web site offering a wide variety of merchandise. Nearly 40% of traffic to Dangdang.com comes from a mobile device and m-commerce accounted for about 10%, or $154 million, of total e-commerce sales of $1.54 billion in 2013, the company says. To accommodate mobile shoppers, Dangdang is busy updating its mobile site with such new features as faster search and updated log-in screens that enable registered users to more quickly access personal information such as a shopping history.
"We have collected a lot of customer demographic data and user behavior data, which helps us to provide more mobile upgrades such as personalized recommendations," chief financial officer Jun Zou told Wall Street analysts on a recent earnings call. "We are helping our users to actually get used to mobile commerce ahead of some of other players in China."
Today m-commerce only accounts for about 30%—$570 million—of 2013 web sales of about $1.92 billion at Yihaodian, No. 6 in the China 500. But Yihaodian, a web-only grocer with big ambitions to become one of China's largest online mass merchants, expects that in just a few years m-commerce may account for as much as 50% of all web sales. To prepare for more growth in m-commerce and in the number of Chinese consumers using their smartphone and mobile Internet to shop online, Yihaodian is busy updating its mobile apps with better search features to access the company's online inventory of about 3.4 million products. It's also planning other yet-to-be-identified changes that founder and president Yu Gang says the merchant will introduce later this year. "Now is the time to go big because mobile commerce is already getting big in China," Yu says. "We're seizing the opportunity to build substantial market share."
Yihaodian is one of the largest merchants ranked in the 320-page China 500, a newly published digital edition research guide and database from Internet Retailer. The China 500 ranks, by online sales, the 500 largest retailers in China, soon to be the world's single largest national e-commerce market, according to industry estimates.

Making a Mess of Comedy
Comedy, explained Aristotle, has a vague history, because at first no one took it seriously. We cannot know for certain if Aristotle was deadpanning, but his observation would amuse Saul Austerlitz. According to Austerlitz, American film comedy has not been taken seriously, either. In fact, the author quips, it is American film's "bastard stepchild." With his latest book "Another Fine Mess: A History of American Film Comedy," Austerlitz gives us a broad survey of the genre, hoping to spark debate.

Just A Minute
Reading: Game of Thrones - I'm trying to get through it before I watch the TV show and I just got The Perks of Being a Wallflower on my Kindle so I can read it before the movie comes out
Watching: The O.C season two with Jeremy and Sophia Grace and Rosie clips on youtube - can't help myself, I love them!
Working On: Improving my photoshop skills, Pugly Pixel youtube tutorials are a big help
Looking forward to: The big move to Auckland and a change of pace in the bigger city, new opportunities and challenges, getting out of my comfort zone and living closer to family
Eating: Lots of birthday cake (this year it was red velvet, so good) and trying to make up for it in other ways by eating healthier things like Blue Diamond flavoured almonds, yoghurt & fruit
Missing: Some of my closest friends who all live in different cities now (Emma, Ilana, Sone this means you!)
What are you up to in June so far?

I've just finished watching the last episode of Season 2 of Game of Thrones & I'm so envious that you have it all ahead of you. I think I may have a bit of a crush on Tyrion too. I love this idea for a regular blog post...it's a nice way of hitting the pause button on your life too.ReplyDelete
I also want to learn more about Photoshop! And yes, Pugly Pixel tutorials are a big help!ReplyDelete

<3 Sharmaine Ruth
Ooh, how are you enjoying Game of Thrones? I started the TV show first and love it, so I'm afraid now of tainting my love for it with the books.ReplyDelete
The O.C. re-runs never get old. ;)
My June's been pretty busy thus far. I've been in rehearsals like crazy for a gig I'm playing on Saturday. Getting a little nervous, but it should be fun!
You will LOVE the book The Perks of Being a Wallflower, such a honest and great read :) & this June, I've just been trying to be more healthy and hit the gym and eat more accordingly. Also, refine my writing as well ;)ReplyDelete
Good luck with the move.ReplyDelete
I am reading The Cathcer in the Rye and loving it--why haven't I read it before?
I first read Perks of Being a Wallflower about 5 years ago when it was recommended by the 'deep/misunderstood' boy I had a crush on at the time. I read it once and didn't particularly care for most of it. I read it again a year or two later and loved it. Red Velvet cakes sounds amazingly good!ReplyDelete
This month has been a pretty good one so far! It's been busy/productive and pretty family oriented.
So how are you liking Game of Thrones. I'm addicted. I already finished the last book and cant wait for book 6!ReplyDelete
Trying to improve my blog! But I'm getting so much inspiration from yours :)ReplyDelete

Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
I think that there are certainly many boats that are better equipped for blue water sailing right after they are built. However IMHO many of these shortcomings can be addressed, with slight modification, reinforcements, grab rails etc. Not saying that this will necessarily be cheap to do on some boats. There are some hull designs and rigs that provide for better upwind sailing etc. and some that provide much better livability. So yes, I'd agree that there are "better blue water boats" from one to the next. I think that just about any good sized sailboat can be fit out to cross oceans, is it cost effective? well I can't say that...
As to the Irwin... the 65 was built as a world cruiser, not a charter boat, contrary to popular opinion.. The first charter version was not designed until a year after mine was built. The hull and deck joint are massively constructed. The Irwin could point better than she does, and she won't win any races I think.. unless its beam seas all the way, but overall a go anywhere boat.
As to the smaller Irwins, most I've seen appear to be sound vessels that with some upgrading and some minor modification would take you anywhere you want to go. To be fair I don't have a lot of experience with the smaller Irwins, but I haven't seen a lot of difference between an Irwin and a comparable Swan of the same age. Maybe on the fit and finish, more a lack of maintenance than poor design. Irwin's were very well designed.
Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
I disagree. There are a wide variety of boats out there, some much better suited for bluewater than others. But your points about the skipper are certainly valid.

I know it's flying, but I loved reading an account of when the US capture it's first Russian MIG and had test pilot Chuck Yeager fly against it and totally whip the pilots flying it and had the generals feeling pretty good.
Until they put Yeager in the MIG and had him fly that, at which point he whipped all of the pilots flying the US fighters.
The moral that the USAF learned, experienced and properly trained pilots were often a much more important component that which plane was actually better on paper.
Hence the fighter weapons schools the USAF and Navy put on to train pilots to do that.
If Lin and Larry Pardey had never existed, and a young couple came here and stated that they were about to do, what the Pardeys did, how badly would they be mauled by some people here (or any other sailing site)?
Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
That's a 65 - mine is a 38 center cockpit (not Citation).
I removed my entire push pit and re-bedded the stanchions last summer when doing the toe rail and the old 'Irwin' davit removal. Every one of them was a 2.5 inch SS screw coming out.
The rest of the stanchions will be getting pulled and refastened this summer. Most are just two screws only the pulpit and push pit areas have three screws. I'm pretty darn sure it's all original as the previous owners kept meticulous records on everything they did.
I don't anticipate any more than a three day trip offshore; it'll do.

Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
Here is a better view, courtesy of the Irwin yachts website. Yes as far as I know Ted is still alive.
Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
Just a note on this, Ted Irwin is still alive last I checked, at lease he was when he got in a boating accident back in Oct of 2010. He stopped building the last of his boats in the 90,s if my thinking is correct.

Re: Irwin - Bluewater Capable???
This is page four from the original Irwin 65 brochure, it shows the hull deck joint very nicely. Note the joint is polyester bonded. This is one heck of a joint, minus the potential issues I mentioned earlier with using screws.

My overall understanding is that the whole point of the 38s was to be a more "bluewater" version of the popular 37. Stronger designs and options like the switchblade keel etc. were all toward that end. Mine is built like a tank. Every mechanic that has touched her here in the Annapolis area has remarked on her construction. The surveyor also fell in love with her. I'm sorry your boat isn't the same experience as mine... Really, I am. I have read though that at the end the factory was throwing things together pretty willy-nilly after Irwin died and things were falling apart. All of this is conjecture of course, but I don't know what else could explain these glaring differences other than what I put forth above.

My 1971 irwin 38 was through bolted with a teak toe rail.

Irwin used screws (yes screws) instead of bolts to mechanicaly fasten the the joint and the screws come into the joint from the side as well as the top. When these boats were newer the joint was actually fantastically strong, in fact Irwin was very proud of their hull deck joint, even diagraming it in the sales brochure. The fact is after 30 years these screws have likely suffered crevice corrsosion and could be dangerous. Through bolting the flange all the way through the block is the best idea, but will require a significant refit, as much of the joint is not accessable and requires replacing interior wood work.
The hull deck joint uses an overlaping flange that is chemically bonded, the flange on the bottom wraps and compelely incapsulates a solid ash block the full length of the joint. (Very strong) Holes are drilled through the flange and into the ash block to support the stantions and the ash was epoxy sealed and then adhesive was used to secure the stantion in the block. The whole joint was excellent when these boats were newer, but with water intrusion from lack of maitenance, the ash block around the stantions begins rotting and then the stantion is no longer strong. These are not difficult fixes, but will require some effort. The hull next to the joint is solid glass and there is no core, which means even with water intrusion from the joint, or the stantions, there should be NO core rot in the cored area, as there is no way for the water to get there.

Skip to comments.Chick-Fil-A'd: Bully Fired After Video Goes Viral
Posted on 08/02/2012 5:06:51 PM PDT by Texas Fossil
Adam Smith, the man who videotaped himself getting free water at a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru just to berate the young woman as been fired.
Smith in his video said he was happy to feel "purposeful" in condemning the Chick-Fil-A employee over CEO Dan Cathy's same-sex-marriage remarks. The video went viral and citizen journalists tracked him down online and grabbed copies of his resume. His employer, Vante, released this statement a bit ago:
Vante of Tucson, AZ Regrets Actions of Former CFO
Employee Has Left the Company TUCSON, AZ--(Marketwire - Aug 2, 2012) - The following is a statement from Vante: Vante regrets the unfortunate events that transpired yesterday in Tucson between our former CFO/Treasurer Adam Smith and an employee at Chick-fil-A. Effective immediately, Mr. Smith is no longer an employee of our company.
The actions of Mr. Smith do not reflect our corporate values in any manner. Vante is an equal opportunity company with a diverse workforce, which holds diverse opinions. We respect the right of our employees and all Americans to hold and express their personal opinions, however, we also expect our company officers to behave in a manner commensurate with their position and in a respectful fashion that conveys these values of civility with others.
We hope that the general population does not hold Mr. Smith's actions against Vante and its employees.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
He no longer has his CFO position. Wonder where he will work next. Such a price he has just paid.
So I guess techno-mob rule can be a good thing sometimes.
The man is a nut and should be locked up for public safety.
That was the most expensive cup of water ever!
And he thought he got something for nothing.
Oh, and by the way, Shep Smith should be fired for his ridiculous comments yesterday.
What a queer attitude... by Mr. Smith...
So...what's the job demand and pay scale for "Purposeful former CFOs"?
Adam Smith tried to bully a uninvolved teenage girl, failed miserably, got reamed royally, and has four sons that can aspire to be like him.
Good deal if they really fired him. My guess is he will be back in a week or two when they think no one is still watching.
Guy really is a major tool. Even though he claims he's not he sure sounds gay, may just be a metrosexual. Either way he needs a good ass kicking. Hopefully someone in AZ will think the same and look him up. Kudos to the girl for keeping her cool when confronted by the far left anal pore.
"Wonder where he will work next."
I doubt it will be Chick-fil-A ! HAHA!
"Wonder where he will work next."
I doubt it will be Chick-fil-A ! HAHA!
I a related story, Shemp Smith just signed off with "we'll be here tomorrow. At least someone will be". Sounds like Shemp might have taken the day off for the homosexual Choke-ur-Chicken Day tomorrow.
"maybe he can get a job at ...Chick-fil-a"
"No one pressured Vante. Vante, a private company, made this decision themselves and as a private entity have every right to do so. I support this right. The community didn't make the decision to fire Smith, they did. This is the difference between the true belief in free speech as demonstrated by conservatives and progressives."
Not sure I can agree with Dana here. There have been lots of comments on FR that the Vante website was not working most likely due to a huge influx of people expressing their displeasure.
Some do not support Smith's being fired as he was on his own time, not on company business.
But the cavalier way in which he berated and hounded that young girl offers a mirror into the man's soul. I doubt this is the first time he treated others, especially those in subservient positions who are complete innocents, in such a cruel way. And then to post it for the world to see - the man is sick.
bwahaha....fantastic. 'Bout damn time these leftists assholes start atoning for their actions.... Absolutely love it.
Ben and Jerry's might hire him.
LMFAO!! What a loony-toon.
Yeah, it's funny he got canned, he deserves it,, however there is a darker undercurrent - these folks are dangerous as hell.
There is no reasoning with people like this, no facts or logic, they only operate on "feelings" and emotion, nonsensical cliches, etc. A very sad commentary on the education establishment, his maturity level is on par with a child.
Should have poured it on his hot head.
Social media (Facebook, Twitter and such) claims another. HAHAHAHA!
What did Smith say?
The loon will be the next dim -bulb spokesman after they fire the bimbo.
Did he take the day off OR? ?? Too much to hope for!!!
LOL! Gayest LinkedIn profile pic ever!!
I bet dimes to dollars somewhere in his contract is a clause about holding up the company image even in the off hours. I have been seeing this pop up more and more with salaried types (and you BET he is salary, bare minimum? yes. Bonus', stocks, etc, etc. butter his bread.
too bad, so sad for him.
There is apparently another video he put out of him harassing a man carrying a cross on Good Friday according to a few in the comment section. Wonder where we might find a copy?
He will have a government job paying big bucks within 10 days.
What a complete , total jerk. He's a CFO taking on a high school age kid serving food at a fast food restaurant. A bully. I'm glad he lost his job. The only unfortunate part of this whole incident is that he bears the name of one of the greatest philosophers and economists of all time.
He just received a very expensive lesson from the school of hard knocks. Whether he learns anything remains to be seen.
If he worked on the loading dock, I would agree.
He was the frigging CFO. Maybe on the BOD. Officers of the company can't do crap like that, publicize it, and get away with it.
You can get away with murder in the top spots, but you have to be discrete about it.
He'd be a good fit in the Obama administration.
Shep Smith, that is...
He's "totally heterosexual" and he mentions that he's doing this because they are against someone "just because (someone) wants to kiss a guy"
Yeah...right. Plus, there is that voice. Poor kids.
I believe he referred to Appreciate Chick-Fil-A Day as National Intolerance Day.
I am willing to wager anyone that if you were a fly on the wall at Vande,this guy is was and always will be a pompus piece of shit that thinks he can(could) do and say whatever and where ever he want.,True,but if you are on the Exec team of a major corp you need to "filter" your actions and hate speech or pay the price.So long ass hole
Adam does need new emplyment. Hmmm. I hear the Chic-filet is growing and may need more window servers. However, I must wonder if he can be sufficently gracious when encountering deliberately rude customers?
"Cant imagine what good thing he possibly thought would come of this."
I suspect very little thought went into it - he we was blinded by his leftist, self-righteous rage.
Oh, wait..she can sue him for publicly using her image without her express, written consent.
Hope she hires a lawyer.

SHANGHAI – General Motors and its joint ventures today sold their 3 millionth vehicle in China in 2013. This is the first time in GM's history in its largest market that it has reached the milestone in a calendar year.
"GM has maintained a long-term commitment to China that few other global companies can match," said GM China President Bob Socia. "Our latest achievement affirms that our broad spectrum of vehicle choices is meeting the needs of consumers nationwide."
GM and its joint ventures offer more than 40 different models under seven brands in China. Its products range from mini-cars to luxury sedans and from mini-commercial vehicles to light-duty trucks. Most of its vehicles sold in China are manufactured in China, and many are engineered and designed locally.
GM also offers a wide range of services tailored for the domestic market. Its Shanghai OnStar joint venture is the leading provider of safety, maintenance and telematics services in China, while its GMAC-SAIC joint venture is the automotive financing leader.
In order to keep up its momentum, GM's joint ventures are investing about $11 billion in vehicles, facilities and people through 2016.
"GM and our employees are pleased but not satisfied," Socia added. "We are focused on building on our success in all areas of the business to remain an industry driving force in China."
General Motors traces its roots back to 1908. GM has 11 joint ventures, two wholly owned foreign enterprises and more than 58,000 employees in China. GM and its joint ventures offer the broadest lineup of vehicles and brands among automakers in China. Passenger cars and commercial vehicles are sold under the Baojun, Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Jiefang, and Wuling brands. In 2014, GM sold more than 3.5 million vehicles in China. More information on General Motors in China can be found at GM Media Online.
