Ladies and Gentleman, Boys and Girls, attached to this thread, you can download a Depth Chart in PDF format for the 2010 Miami Dolphins. This is a way we can follow our team being built.
As players are added/released/numbers changed, etc. this Depth Chart will be updated to reflect those changes. Of course this is NOT an official depth chart for the 2010 season.
Since changes to the depth chart can change on a daily basis and from practice to practice, it is possible the depth chart could be updated more than once during the course of any given day. Since that is the case, in addition to giving the date that it was updated, I will also include the time in Eastern Standard Time that it was updated.
Players in RED mean they are currently injured and not expected to play in the next game,
Please enjoy!

Landscape with water ponds
oil on canvas

Private collection
© estate of Fred Williams
The motif of small dark ponds in the landscape reappeared in a number of Williams's paintings of the mid-to-late 1960s. Landscape with water ponds is one of the most impressive of these. Here dark ponds are located within a richly layered ground that Williams worked on over a long period. Near the centre an old tree trunk, a prominent feature on the Upwey property, resides like a silent witness to fires of the past.
This work brings together aspects of the classic Upwey format with elements of the Green cloud and owl paintings. On 23 February 1967 Williams wrote in his diary: 'I try to make it a composite painting … in the hope of summing up what I have been doing in the last few years.'

Action - Revolver
Action Type - Double Action
Caliber - .38 S&W Special +P
Barrel Length - 2"
Weight - 1.0 Lb.
Ultra-fast, ultra-reliable, and ultra-lightweight Model 85 revolvers are the most popular family of guns that Taurus produces. They pack them with a combination of customer-requested features and pair them with the .38 Special +P ammo, making them powerful, easy to carry, and lightning-quick to use. The snub-nose 85 has a two-inch barrel and weighs only a pound. A transfer bar mechanism prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled fully to the rear and the Taurus Security System consists of a keyed, quarter-turn style socket-head screw which can be set to prevent the hammer from pivoting back into the frame, thus rendering the weapon inoperative. This lightweight revolver features a ramped front sight with a rear groove. Its grips and metal are in good condition and its bore is in very good condition.

Hi everyone,
So my dog is a 1 year old yellow lab who hasn't had any training other than a few basic commands that he follows half of the time. I have decided that I am going to get serious about getting him trained. I taught him to "sit","here", and "heel" when he was a puppy and he follows the "heel" command pretty well. I have started trying to train him to "sit" at a distance but he either stands and looks at me or comes to me and then sits. I am only working him from about 1-2 feet, so it isn't even a long distance!
My question is how do I teach him to sit at a distance?
Thanks for the replies in advance!

Some interesting points are made
A Sandy Hook timeline at CNN contains the following claims:
1. Police and other first responders arrived on scene about 20 minutes after the first calls.
2. The gunman took his own life, police said. He took out a handgun and shot himself in a classroom as law enforcement officers approached, officials said.
A March 28 post at CNN asserts the following:
3. Lanza didn't make it home alive. Nor did the 26 people -- 20 of them schoolchildren ages 6 and 7 -- he shot dead in less than five minutes, firing one bullet roughly every two seconds he was at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
So, the people Lanza killed were dead in less than 5 minutes, Lanza shot himself as "law enforcement officers approached", but it also took "police and other first responders" 20 minutes to arrive on the scene?
Doesn't a reasonable [COLOR=#11B000 !important]construction of the above at least raise the question: so what was Lanza doing in the 15 minutes or so after the killings and before he shot himself f-- particularly when Lanza is described as trying to kill as many people as possible, and when Lanza is described as having been found dead alongside a multitude of unspent rounds?[/COLOR]
Please notice that it doesn't matter for purposes of this issue whether the claims are accurate; what matters is that CNN asserts that they are -- so why aren't they asking the obvious follow up questions?The 15-minute gap where no mayhem occurred seems most unusual to me. Why wasn't he running through the school looking for more targets? If 6 children came out of the closet, why didn't he look in the closet for more?Lanza next arrived at teacher Victoria Soto's classroom. Soto is believed to have hidden her 6- and 7-year old students in a classroom closet. When Lanza demanded to know where the children were, Soto tried to divert him to the other end of the school by saying that her students were in the auditorium.
But six of Soto's students tried to flee. Lanza shot them, Soto and another teacher who was in the room. Later, in their search for survivors, police found the remaining seven of Soto's students still hiding in the closet. They told the police what had happened.
It seems there is only one way both of these accounts can be true: if there were at least 19 children in Soto's classroom (six who were shot dead, six found by Rosen, and seven who were hidden in the closet and discovered by law enforcement; it seems very unlikely that the seven children found by law enforcement numbered among those found by Rosen, and not only because of the numeric disparity -- why would police have dispatched the children to who knows where after having discovered them?).
No matter what, though, the accounts suggest that at least six children were moving.
And, don't forget that six adults numbered among the dead -- why weren't more adults wounded?
Of the two wounded at Newtown, to the best of my knowledge we have information about only one -- Natalie Hammond.
The linked article makes clear that Hammond is supposed to have come "face-to-face" with Lanza.
Evidently, Hammond was shot in the foot, leg, and hand.
Why was Lanza even aiming at the lower extremities, and, if he wasn't but hit Hammond there anyway, what does that say about his accuracy -- especially when you consider that Hammond is said to have been an adult target in very close proximity to Lanza?
In any event, the damage Lanza dealt to Hammond couldn't have been extraordinarily grave, since 67 days later, sans crutches, Hammond strode across the rink at the Boston Bruins game and dropped the puck.
What does that say about Lanza's kill accuracy?
And what about the walls in the school -- might rounds have penetrated the walls, and, if so, why weren't more people wounded?
Finally, there is talk that Lanza might have been psychotic.
In their study of a sample of mass murderers, Hempel et al. found that "the average kill to wound ratio of the psychotic subjects was 1:1.4" (p.218).
That ratio does not exactly fit Sandy Hook, does it?
A statistical analysis of 30 years' worth of mass public shooting hard data shows that the odds are 2,000 to 1 against the processes underlying that data accounting for the kill/wound figures of the Sandy Hook shooting.
One of the comments mentioned that the teacher and principle (who were killed by Lanza) had been two of three school staff that had been pushing Lanza's mother to get him institutionalized. The third person was not in the school that day. So, maybe his action wasn't completely random?

The Khadi Bow Tie
खादीis Khadi in Hindu. It is a term for hand-spun and hand-woven cloth from India, Bangladesh and Pakistan. But much more importantly it's a movement, or a way of life.
The Khadi movement promoted an ideology that Indians could be self reliant and free from the high priced goods and clothes which the British were selling to them. The British would buy cotton from India at cheap prices and export them to Britain where they were woven to make clothes.
These clothes were then brought back to India to be sold at a hefty price. The Khadi movement aimed at boycotting foreign goods and promoting Indian ones.
The Khadi movement was started by one Mr. Mahatma Gandhi, which encouraged rural self-employment and self-reliance and eventually helped to grow the Indian economy.
To this day Khadi remains an important part of Indian life. Many politicians wear only Khadi dhoti, a rectangular piece of un-stitched cloth, usually around 15 ft long, wrapped around the waist and the legs and knotted at the waist, resembling a long skirt. The domestic manufacturing of the Flag of India must be made of Khadi. Mace Windu wears a Khadi textile in Star Wars(!).
We recently purchased several pieces of Khadi to produce a small run of bow ties for the up-coming Spring/Summer season.
The particular pieces of Khadi that we are using to make these bow ties comes from the Western Indian state of Gujarat, in a Region called The Great Rann of Kutch.
These pieces are (bare with me), hand-spun, hand-woven, naturally dyed organic cotton. Each piece of cotton, and therefore each bow tie is truly original. In the fantastic video below, you can see rural Indians hand weaving Khadi, although not our pieces. HERE is a longer, more in-depth video of the full carding and spinning process.
One by-product of handmade textiles are the slight imperfections that are found throughout. Most obviously are the yarn slubs, the odd bumps that look almost like a knot in the yarn:
Another variant is the subtle color shifts. We are so used to seeing perfect colors in the products we buy, that it can seem a bit odd when the dying is not totally uniform. I think the color shifts actually give this fabric a wonderful warmth.
We are so honored to be working with such a beautiful and labor rich textile. Due to the scarce nature of the source, we will be selling very, very limited runs of these bow ties. For the time being, they will be available at our store HERE, but we do not see them lasting very long.
Depending on general feedback, we may attempt to source more Khadi in the future, so if you wanted a Khadi bow tie and they are sold out, let us know so we can make future plans. Please enjoy these wonderful fabrics as much as we do.

Expected time for newbie casters
Over the years I've taught a lot of newbies how to cast. Some are ready to fish later that day, others will not be for several more sessions on the lawn.
Most of the single hand instruction has been for coastal saltwater fishing purposes. Certainly not as easy as freshwater, although stream fishing for trout is far from trivial the demands on physical control and timing to put flies into wind and waves effectively to catch fish can be a harder challenge overall.
I would like to get a broad sense for what the general readership thinks about this topic, just for curiosity's sake.
If you wanted to set a guideline for training before taking someone fishing...
Training/behavior modification incentives...
The use of a remote controled, instructor operated "electric" dog field training collar set on stun to insure "proper form" not withstanding, it's NICE to provide some time onthewater to play around with "new and/or previously unfamiliar concepts" and to practice the days lessons while they are still fresh...
The immediate self-induced and typically humbling feedback and the opportunity to "catch" will greatly enhance the overall "fishing" experience and firmly set a positive spin.
The newbie will leave with every intention of a speedy return...and will/should have plenty of time onthelawn to further refine the process!
Eye protection highly encouraged!!!
I tend to agree with Penguin in that some time on the water can reinforce the practical application of what is learned during instruction, even if the casting isn't perfect. The notion of positive feedback by potentially catching a fish doesn't hurt either.
I like to see the new fisher get on the water ASAP.
I try to put them on water that does not require them to cast very far at all. Unfortunately it has been my experience that the eagerness of new fisher counter effects the patience it takes to learn fly casting, ending up with a major flail session.
Student with some athletic ability and a patient coach at their side can learn on the water in a fishing situation. This definately works best one on one IMO. With any luck maybe they will catch a fish
Cheers N I
Although the remote dog collar would prabaly work faster
I like the idea of the lawn first session because there is much familiarization with equipment that needs to take place and there is no need for water nearby. Lawns are usually a short commute away and can cut down on the initial investment of time and you can usually get out of the wind. I would leave a book or video behind and suggest a little self practice. If the person is willing to devote a little time to self practice over the next few days then you know they are serious. Second session can be on the water without fly and try to add a fly and get fishing as soon as possible.
I find that nothing can replace the resistance of the water. Whether snapping off a roll cast or setting up the back cast with tension of the water flexing the rod as you lift line from the water that resistance is extremely important. The lawn is OK but having your line in the water is what the goal ultimately is and without it even the most basic nuances of casting are compromised.
I am a total newb, I got a lawn session then practiced on my own on the lawn and two weeks later I was hacking it up on Davis lake, I think practice practice practice before you waste your buddys day on a fishing trip. might sound silly but watching a vid on some one casting at sexyloops really helped me, now I only slap the water with the fly instead of smacking my fly with my pole and making spectacular knots.
I like the collar idea also. But in my perfect world everyone who fly fishes would have a collar on but me. And not surprising I would have the magic button.
Seriously though I wish beginers would start out slow. Lawn is great to practise after dinner and then playing around on lakes for sun fish and the likes. By biggest concern in todays world is that folks want to fish for the most difficult of fish right off the bat, stripers on the flats, Tarpon, permitt, spring creek trout and NW steelhead. To me that's like saying I want to learn to play baseball and going up against Roger Clemens 1st time at bat. Have a feeling that on the great Salmon rivers of Europe not too many newbies just step in and fish a beat. Can imagine they are told quickly that they are not so welcome. I remember it was that way when I was young on many of the great eastern trout streams, you worked your way up to them in skill level, you walked softly and learned the ways of those that came before you. I know in the USA anyone can fish for anything just about, be he beginner or not but I got to say I feel loathing at times to see beginners just stepping to the batters box to face a 100 MPH fastballer. I also feel sorry for him because it can not be as enjoyable as catching sunfish and learning all that goes along with casting, like observation, fly tying, building leaders and the likes.
I have no problems with guides on rivers or flats who's clients are good fishermen and do not have to be hand held. But boy it can be frustating to those who have worked there way up in their fishing ability to have other not so worthy plugging up runs and flats alike. I would like to see guides or teachers take their clients or at least try to convince their clients to fish for fish that are more to their level because the client will get far more out of it and his skill level will not only increase but he will understand more of what he is doing.
The water's free
I'm relatively new to fly fishing and may not understand the protocol and etiquette that goes with it, but the idea of a beginner "getting in the way" of the experienced doesn't make sense, and may even ring of snobbery.
It all becomes balanced out when a professional beach caster gets to my favorite hole on the surf before I do. I should have gotten there faster. I can't fish at his level but he's still in my way. If a guide wants to eat, he has to get clients. They pay, they play. If they get to a favorite hole first, alarm clock adjustments are in order.
Get the rod, go to the water and cast to to your hearts delight. If you stink and can handle the embarrassment, more power to you. You'll either learn or go get womeone to help you.
The water is free. (Mostly.) I'm going to use it no matter how hard they laugh at me. When I'm finished, it's your turn.
"Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats."
F-N-G (friggin-New-Guys)
they cant or dont usually catch much of any thing but they will low-hole you and look right at you and waive bacause every thing is friggin new even his simms goretex, matching vest and faggy hat. but over the years of fishing crowded california and oregon waters ive found that you can use them to your advantage by keeping them below you and close enough that your swing can get past them into the water you want to fish by timing.they wont get it until theres a three foot long rocket taking off right in front of them and then its all you my man and they are none the wiser they just think its cool to see a fish. some guys,being new are easily persuaded to move on some arent . its all about perception,if your demeanor is kind,warm and friendly on the outside then use your cunning and calculate a strategy to get around the obsticle to acomplish your goal. may sound selfish but i'm thinking about steelhead not about the other guy.
never give a sucker an even break.
but if the guide hes with is worth his salt all of that wont happen. so all you F-N-Gs out there dont be afraid. get out there and make your mistakes and dont forget the most important part ,HAVE FUN!!!!!!!

Here in the PNW I've had new fly fishers tromp right in the water below me, walk and splash and fast as they can out to waist deep, and scare every steelhead that was lying there out of the run all because they can't cast more the 45' and think that they have to be waist deep to "get to the fish". This is very maddening because in another 40' of cast and step (as steelhead and atlantic salmon fishers cover the water) I would have been covering that water and the steelhead that used to be in it. Even more maddening is the attitude of the dude who low-holed and scared the fish in this manner when he is informed of his breach of stream etique and why he should have either started above those ahead of him in the run or waited his turn to avoid scaring the fish. The all-too-often response from the new guy is "this is a free country, the water belongs to everyone, you are a snob, etc.".
Another all to often scenario here in the PNW is the new fly fisher jumps in the water 150' below you and then parks there instead of moving downstream a step or two after a 2-3 casts. This causes the experienced fishers to move down in the step and cast, step and cast that is the most efficient manner to fish a steelhead run until he now has his casts running the risk of foul-hooking the new guys line or fly. Upon being asked if he would move down a bit, the new guy far too often ignores the request or says the same inane "the water is free, this is a free country, I'm just out for a day's fishing and don't appreciate your hasseling me, etc." Then to add insult to injury, when you move downstream of the new dude, he gets all huffy and angry that you are fishing "his water" despite the fact that he hasn't moved in the 45 minutes he has been fishing. And all too often as you draw near him from above, he starts giving you the look and many time says something about you crowding him and that you should go elsewhere if you can't respect another angler's "fishing spot".
Also, many time the new fly fisher will wade out to where you are casting, instead of waiting until you are finished fishing through the run, just to "chat" and visit. This is also very maddening since he almost invariably stands in the way of back casts or D Loops, chatters along while you are trying to concentrate on your fly's progress and how it is fishing, and in general just gets in the way. If the new guy would simply wait until the experienced fisher is finished fishing through the run before he starts talking to him, the experienced fisher would visit and be pleasant. However, when the new guy wades out and disturbs the experienced fisher, the experienced guy is less than happy, gets a little peeved at the inconsiderate actions of the new guy, and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Likewise on a public spring creek when a new guy walks right up to the stream and scares every trout in the pool that the experienced fisher just spent 20 minutes sneaking up to the water's edge to cast to the fish without spooking them. Or the new guy slaps the water from the other bank with his casts and scares the fish that the experienced fisher has been working to catch for the last 15 minutes.
This is the stuff that OC was talking about. And the only way the new fly fisher learns how to do these things with consideration and fish and cast with skill, is by starting on easier to catch fish like sunfish and bluegills before he goes for steelhead or spring creek trout. Even the world's greatest guide cannot teach a newcomer how to cast 80' on steeelhead river in one day, nor can a great guide teach a newcomer how to make very gentle casts of 50' on a spring creek in one day.
sounds familiar.................
well so far I have only seen me fishing so I don't think I have upset anyone, however a dude drove by and honked excesivly at me, possibly a fellow angler from the great pnw.
i practiced for about four months on grass and ponds before even tying a fly onto my leader. it's a bit different when the fish start to rise or the water's flowing fast and cold, but i think the practice helped. i couldn't (still can't) afford casting lessons, so i took a freebie and the instructors liked my cast except for a small twist in the wrist which i've been watching. practice helps. now i'm back, landlocked from trout, and again practicing. trying to get good at longer, tighter casts so i can hunt reds on the coast.
i was lucky enough to get to fish some not-so-travelled areas in northwest colorado for three months so running into experienced anglers wasn't a big deal for me. if i did get a spot that was crowded, i'd either go elsewhere or wade as softly as possible. if i was alone and tripped and splashed, i only hurt my own chances. doh. sometimes, i think it's best to quietly watch experts fish a hole rather than try to fish the hole yourself if you're a relative newb like me.

Episode 2 carded Obi-Wan with Assassin Droid!
The blue card looks great! At long last we finally have blue cards!
Obi-Wan looks awesome. He has the same lightsaber as Episode One, so I guess somebody on Naboo climbed down that shaft and got it for them when the local coroner checked it out for half-bodies.
His pose takes us back to the extreme action poses and doesn't look like his legs (knees and ankles) have articulation, so we're back to Han Hoth there, but still he looks good!
Also, the arms are articulated like the Naboo figures, not the ultimate arm articulation seen in the Jedi Duel figures (original E1 releases).
Any improvements based on RealScan technology are hard to see at this magnification, but I'm sure the figure will look great once we get a close-up, and better yet, once I'm holding him in my hands! Damm I want this figure!
Now I totally dig the assassin droid. Now let's not start spoiler discussions, but TFN was right on, while we're at it!
So what do you guys think?

Puppyhood is a very sensitive time in a dog's life. Puppies are often sent to their new homes not because they have reached the optimal age to leave the litter but because the time is convenient for the buyer and breeder. Unfortunately, convenience for the breeder and buyer may not always be best for the puppy.
In fact, placing a puppy in a new home too early, before the animal is developmentally prepared for the new experience, can have serious and lasting detrimental effects, such as nervousness, insecurity, and difficulty in adapting to new environments. Show breeders who hold on to puppies until they're nine or ten weeks old - the best time of assessing structure - may actually be doing their puppies a favor.
While each week of a puppy's life is developmentally different, the existence of various physical and emotional stages is fairly standard and has been documented across breeds. Over a period of thirty or more years, the developmental periods of puppyhood have been separated and labeled with a variety of terms by several researchers. Though the terms vary, the developmental stages remain fairly similar. They are now called "sensitive periods", and breeders need to be familiar with them if they are going to raise mentally stable puppies. Sensitive periods are developmental stages where the pups exhibit heightened awareness of particular senses and are responsive to specific stimuli. The first of these periods is birth to three weeks, or the neonatal stage. THE
Neonatal Stage
From birth to three weeks of age, the pup is very sensitive to smell and physical stimuli. Puppies find their way to the puppy pile and the dam (food source) through scent and the radiation of body heat. At this age, puppies are not able to regulate their own body heat; they depend upon the dam and each other for warmth. A heating pad or heat lamp in the whelping box is always second to the dam as a favorite sleeping place of the litter pile. The pups are so keen about sensing the heat that moving the heating pad or lamp around the whelping box always incites a massive migration to the new location.
Even though the pups' ears and eyes are closed and learning during this period appears to be very limited, they are gathering and processing very important information about their environment through scent and physical stimuli.
The dam spends most of her day stimulating the pups to suckle and eliminate by licking them all over their bodies. The licking (physical contact) is also a very important aspect of bonding for this social animal. This is a good time to introduce and imprint the pleasantries of human contact, as well. The feel and scent of human handling introduced form birth is the beginning of a positive and rewarding bond between human and canine. The breeder can introduce positive handling through daily weighing of the pups, which is important to monitor their health and also serves as positive socialization.
Suckling at this age is very strong, and the mere presence of a human finger near the mouth elicits a strong sucking response. A nutritionally healthy mixture of pureed raw liver and cultured yogurt fed from the tip of a finger can benefit all the pups, but particularly those less hearty critters who get pushed away from the most productive teats. In addition, the puppies will associate the tasty mixture with handling. Just as with some humans, some pups take a little longer to acquire a taster for the liver pate' - but few turn down the treat after a few licks. Although it's a messy affair for pup and breeder, feeding a couple of fingersful a day of this gourmet treat can serve two purposes: A) strengthening the motor skills of sucking and head turning; and B) eliciting increased licking of the pup by the dam, who will take much pleasure in tasting the excess treat.
The time you spend feeding the pup this treat is a good opportunity to talk and let the animal experience the vibrations of your voice. All this early handling involves you in the imprinting process, which produces puppies that are comfortable around humans. By the time they're 3 weeks old they'll be so used to the regular handling that they'll congregate in the direction of people who enter the room.
The Natal Stage
The next stage, three to six weeks, is the natal or fun stage. During this period, the pups' ears and eyes are open and their vision, hearing and motor skills (coordination) are improving daily. They can now regulate their own heat.
They also become more vocal. The first bark emitted can be as surprising for the pup as the breeder. Very often after letting out that first bark the puppy will be so startled that it will fall back on its haunches.
Adding Stress
Adding Stress
Between birth and six weeks of age some researchers and breeders recommend adding mild stress to the pup's life to facilitate the process of coping with stress in adulthood. Gauging the amount of stress pups are exposed to based on their age and individual personalities is far from an exact science. Stress overload can be very damaging to the animal's mental health. Therefore, breeders must be very cautious about introducing artificial or excessive stimuli. The conditions and structure of the litter provide an abundance of natural stress. The pups are often bowled over topsy-turvy by the dam's licking - and when does a bitch ever give a puppy that's attached to a teat forewarning that she is going to get up and move about? Puppies are abruptly detached from the teat several times a day, not to mention that getting the best teat can be at least difficult and, often, stressful.
Natural stress also occurs during weighing and when the bedding is changed or the dam decides to take a short walk during the pups' snack time. These experiences are low-intensity stress situations and make for healthier pups without risking emotional damage. There is plenty of time for the pups to naturally experience a variety of stressful situations.
Age 6 to 7 Weeks
Age 6 to 7 weeks
Most dams wean their puppies around six weeks of age. The natural weaning process is an important time for the pups; it's when they learn discipline from the dam who reprimands them for their attempts to suckle, thus exposing them to important body language from adult dogs. If the puppy misses the signal or warning, the dam is unlikely to cause serious damage when she follows through with a correction. If a pup misses a signal when interacting with a strange dog, it may provoke the dog to cause more harm.
The 6-week-old pup is still quite dependent upon the dam and litter. If the pup is removed from the litter at this stage, it may compensate for the separation by becoming overly dependent upon the new owner. An over-dependent dog often experiences severe episodes of separation anxiety.
Puppies removed from the litter too early may also experience fearful reactions, such as backing away from people or objects, or displaying exaggerated startle responses. If these reactions are not successfully handled, the dog may remain fearful throughout its life.
Age 7 to 8 Weeks
Age 7 to 8 Weeks
The neurological system of the 7-week-old puppy is almost as mature as that of an adult canine. By the seventh week, the puppies are eating dog food and are active, hardy little animals. At this stage, the social structure of the litter becomes very observable. Many breeders believe seven weeks is the prime age for the bonding process to begin between the puppy and the new owner. The truth is, this is the primary time puppies form strong social bonds, but so long as they are exposed to humans and positive contact, the learned social behavior will transfer to a new owner no matter how old the dog.
Puppies placed at seven weeks to optimize bonding to a particular person may be robbed of crucial social litter experiences. Consequently, these puppies may have emotional difficulty socializing with other dogs.
Pups begin to display independence and increased exploratory behavior at 9 to10 weeks, steadily and gradually showing more confidence, curiosity and willingness to learn. Inter-litter social relationships are in place. The dog that has been regularly exposed to human contact eagerly seeks out social relationships and contact with any person present.
The primary socialization period for canines as defined by researchers, three to sixteen weeks, specifically means dogs that have not been exposed to people of other dogs during this period run a very high risk of being fearful of humans and canines. This does not mean puppies should be overloaded with exposure to everything in this short period of time. Regular and positive short periods of exposure to new stimuli are sufficient to maintain a confident canine temperament. Survival for canines and all living organisms depends upon their ability to continue to learn and adapt to their environment throughout their lives. If a puppy is not regularly exposed to humans, other dogs and a variety of surroundings, there is a very high probability that it will always be fearful.
Today, through the work, writings and observations of a great many people interested in the welfare of canine companions, we know that the socialization period does not end at sixteen weeks. Socialization is an ongoing process that must continue throughout the dog's life to maintain a stable and suitable temperament. Isolation will cause de-socialization episodes.
The Sensitive Period
At eight weeks old the dog moves into the puppy fear or sensitive period, which usually lasts one week. At this time, the most ordinary events may frighten the puppy and have a profound and possibly lasting effect on its personality. Breeders can minimize stress to the pups by keeping the litter together for another week or two and maintaining the familiar, stable environment.
This does not mean the pup should be deprived of new stimuli. On the contrary, the breeder must sensitively and systematically introduce different objects, people and situations. The pups will be less threatened and have a greater chance of coping with the new stimuli if their surroundings are familiar and comfortable during the critical fear period.
Interactions between littermates during this week become more intense and serious in forming the submissive and dominant hierarchy. What used to appear as playfulness over a toy now literally becomes tug-of-war and a serious challenge for social position. These interactions involve complex body language and vocalizations, and prepare the animal for future canine relationships.
A Lot to Like About Litters
Prolonging the litter experience may cultivate a secure, confident and calm adult dog. The litter environment is usually a nurturing, socially enriching and very educational experience for the pup. The litter is where the pup can learn how to interact with other dogs, interpret body language and feel secure and comfortable until developmentally mature enough to cope with other conditions. The litter is the place for puppies to learn and develop a strong and stable temperament that will enable them to excel in all aspects of companionship, obedience and/or breed competition - as well as the tasks for which they were specifically bred.
While socialization or exposure to dogs, people and places is very important for the mental development of the young puppy, there are health risks in exposing the puppies to other animals before they have received their complete series of inoculations. Another good reason for keeping the litter intact until the pups are older is so they can safely socialize with each other and reduce the risk of exposure to disease.
The breeder who understands the developmental stages and maintains the litter intact until the pups are nine to ten weeks old can provide timely and appropriate enrichment for the pups to maximize the soundness of temperament.

I'm back from SIGGRAPH. It all went really well. As usual I saw a ton of old friends. It is great to catch up and see what everyone is doing. As usual, there's a number of really cool papers that would be fun to implement, if I had more time.
The most exciting part was the amount of Linux on the show floor. Every major vendor was showing at least some Linux. I had a couple different people tell me that I had saved the industry by introducing Linux. It was a blast! We had our 3rd Linux 3D BOF. About 300 people attended and we had about 15 speakers over the two hours. It was a real good event. (Although next time we really need to have a microphone!) It's great to get so many people together. We'll post a summary on http://www.linux3d.org soon.

Additional Information as Provided by the Manufacturer:
Jobst® offers a line of compression garments for edema management and post surgical applications. Jobst® garments are chosen by plastic surgeons to help maximize the results of the cosmetic procedure. General surgeons want their patients to have garments that will help hold dressings in place and provide compression and comfort during healing.
Other Recommendations:
1. Incorrectly measured and badly fitting compression garments may cause problems during wearing.
2. Open wounds must be covered with an appropriate dressing before the compression garment is put on.
Wearing Compression for the First Time
The first few times you wear your compression garment you will notice the squeeze. It is OK to begin wearing your garment gradually. Try wearing them for just a few hours the first day and then increase the number of hours each day until you can wear them comfortably throughout the day while you are up and about.
Follow Physician�s instructions
Wearing Compliance
It is important to wear your compression garments everyday. Compression garments manage an on-going problem. When you remove your compression garment the condition responsible for your symptoms is still there. Failure to wear the garment as instructed may cause your condition to become more severe.
The elastic fibers of your compression garment will break down with wear. Proper care will increase the "life" span of your garment.

Topic: Teddy's Turn - Update
We visited the ONC today and the LAB report was very good except.....his CA9 jumped from 11 to 56. The ONC said we should not be concerned at this point as this sometimes happens from having a Whipple. Yah, well it has not happened in 4 years! I am calling the radiologist Tuesday as he wanted a PET Scan this month anyway, hopefully before my surgery and the ONC feels it is the best way to check out everything. Now you are maybe asking, how can T & E handle all this. Like I say, it is what it is and when we know for sure we do what has to be done! Oh, his bilirubin was perfect. I tell you he is always trying to upstage me! I just can't have my own cancer time! One cute thing as we were saying bye to the ONC he turns to us and says, see you in 2 months we like the nice people to come back! Love, Love , love our doctors.

Shares of chip makers, especially the wireless variety, are weaker today as analysts ponder the impact from lower-than-expected results reported Thursday and Friday by Samsung Electronics (005930KS) and HTC (2498TW).
Mark McKechnie of Evercore Partners, reiterating an Overweight rating on shares of Qualcomm (QCOM), and a $75 price target, cuts his estimates for this year and next, "to reflect a deeper look at near- term patterns for top customers AAPL and Samsung."
McKechnie now sees Qualcomm delivering $24.2 billion in revenue and $4.51 per share in profit this fiscal year ending in September, down from a prior $24.36 billion and $4.55. For next year, he goes to $25.95 billion and $4.85 from a prior $26.36 billion and $4.90 per share.
McKechnie's "checks" of the supply chain reinforce the cautious view of his colleague Patrick Wang's trip through Asia recently, and he now sees Samsung's Galaxy S4 sales not making up for the "product transition" of Apple (AAPL) from the iPhone 5 to an expected iPhone 5S this fall:
While US and China sales of the GS4 came up strong in our checks, Europe and Korea came up light, due in part we believe to limited 4G/LTE coverage in Europe and subsidy cuts in Korea. All in we anticipate ~ 22M GS4's sold in Q2 vs. ~ 25M built. This will be offset by the GS4 mini which will help QTL royalties but not QCT chips as we believe the mini uses BRCM (OW, $33.77, covered by Patrick Wang) […] iPhone 5S and low-cost delayed ~ a month; this is not a major issue, but impacts near-term forecasts for QCOM – our forecast assumes a mid/late September intro, and 3) solid ramp of white box China OEMs which helps QTL but not QCT.
And Citigroup's Glen Yeung, who today wrote about weakness in the PC market, and the weak outlook for Intel (INTC), also reiterated a Buy rating on Qualcomm, and an $81 price target, while removing the stock from the firm's Top Picks Live ranking.
Yeung thinks the Samsung report last week points to a "substantial deceleration" in high-end smartphones:
Following on from Apple's disappointing sales of iPhone5, production of Samsung's Galaxy S4 is poised to decline ~20% in 3Q13, just one quarter from its launch. HTC's flagship One phone is following similar trends, with sell-in demand sustained for a mere 2 months (April/May) before a production fall-off. We attribute the lackluster sales of high-end smartphones primarily to market saturation, noting that smartphone penetration in developed markets (the primary markets for high-end phones) has reached 75%, with full saturation (85%) expected to be achieved in 2014. When adding that the marginal utility of smartphone innovation is waning precipitously, we suspect high-end smartphone sales may be facing substantial deceleration. We admit that some controversy exists over the magnitude of Apple build plans in 2H13, although we err on the side of lower estimates given the high build cost (hence high subsidies) associated with Apple's low-cost iPhone. We have been recommending Qualcomm on the premise that after a weak 1Q13, sales/margins would improve in 2H13; we still believe this to be true, albeit with reduced conviction. While we do not revise our estimates at this time (we are already modestly below consensus for 3Q13), we remove QCOM from Citi's Top Picks Live! list reflecting the overhang from a saturating smartphone market.
Cautious, but not as negative, this morning is D.A. Davidson's Aalok Shah writes that the results suggest "muted demand" for high-end smartphones:
We have been worried that the market for smartphones will see a) stretched replacement cycles and b) the next wave of growth focusing on emerging markets where price sensitivity is critical. We believe the recent results from RIMM (BBRY), HTC and now Samsung may be pointing us in the direction that the lack of new, innovative features is leading to more muted demand. Of course, to fully test this hypothesis, we need to see how the iPhone 5S does, but we remain concerned that the smartphone cycle is beginning to enter a new phase where component vendors will face significant ASP pressure as handset OEMs themselves will be forced to compete against low cost alternatives.
Still, he doesn't view the Samsung situation as a disaster, but actually still relatively healthy:
Recently, Korean news site iNews24 released a report claiming that Samsung has shipped over 20 million Galaxy S4s. While this has not yet been validated, if true we see it as a positive for demand; it will have taken roughly two months to reach the 20 million mark versus 100 days to hit the same level with the GS3 and ten months for the GS2. We believe these numbers are based on "sell- in" not "sell-through."
Shah, who rates RF Micro Devices (RFMD) a Buy, as well as Skyworks Solutions (SWKS) and TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT), offers that the rumored iPhone 5S, and perhaps a rumored lower-cost iPhone, may be of benefit to his favorite names:
Our current belief is that the iPhone 5S will stand as an updated version of the iPhone 5; sharing a similar RF architecture and form. We believe most of the dollar content per device will remain the same. Although the release of a low cost iPhone is yet to be confirmed, we believe it is the most logical choice for Apple. Emerging regions offer the most potential for smartphone penetration and open a significant opportunity for a resurgence of growth. Our belief is that the device will be in the sub $200 range to compete with other players in the space. While predicting the internal design of a new device is difficult as there is no historical precedent to follow, we do see several opportunities for increasing dollar content in the device. We continue to believe RFMD may have secured a PA socket win, it's first at Apple, and that TriQuint may have won the BAW filter content as they now have the capacity.
As far as the stocks, "We believe that a 5%-8% sequential downtick in Samsung related orders was already in our PA related names forecast."
Qualcomm stock today is down 3 cents, or 0.6%, at $60.56; RF Micro shares are down 3 cents, or half a percent, at $5.34; TriQuint is down 16 cents, or 2%, at $7.03, and Skyworks is off 35 cents, or 1.6%, at $21.50.

Hi Family...I just got his PET Scan scheduled for next Tuesday. I told them I am having surgery the 1st, his CA9-19 jumped up, the Rad Man wanted the PET this month and I got him in for the 22nd. This way we will have results before my vacation in the hospital. Sometimes its a wonderful thing to feel so powerful.:):) What I don't understand is no matter how great the doctor, I have yet to find an office where the schedulers follow up without a call from the patient.

A purported benchmark for the LG Nexus 4 appeared at GLBenchmark this week, showing us some of the dirty details that we were still hoping to get clarification on before the product is unveiled next Monday.
First off, you'll notice that we have a device name of "mako" which has been known as the codename for some time now. Second, you'll notice the word "occam" in the build fingerprint and product, another name that has been tossed around. In fact, a couple of weeks ago, the tin foil hats came out, and a group of Android enthusiasts jumped to the wild conclusion that there was a better-than-average chance that this was going to be a separate Nexus, probably built by Motorola. You see, because if you Google the term "occam," you'll find "Occam's Razor." Apparently, that should mean that occam equals RAZR, which equals Motorola phone. Wild, I know. This benchmark, if legit, debunks the hell out of that. (more…)

This is a recent addition to my silver collection: It is a silver Memorial Dish "following" the death of Queen Victoria. What really makes me smile is the way Sampson Mordan the famous silversmiths hold in check their respect for Queen Victoria when commercial opportunity arises. What do I mean??? Well.....Queen Victoria, as we all know, died in 1901... the hallmark (3rd) photo is for 1900.* Obviously the Queen was probably very frail, even to say "poorly" by late 1900...So possibly The Company seeing a looming opportunity rushed out this memorial dish so it could be assayed and marked READY for the good Queen's demise, and a "quick buck". Maybe this is why it is smithed around a 1900 Florin Piece and not a 1901 minted coin (they would have had to wait another year for that!) I think it would have been a bit of a blow to Mordan's if Queen Victoria had soldiered on for another year! I suppose they could have always melted it down and started again!
Another interesting mark is in the dark area in the 2nd Photo...... that looks like ....Vz/t. This is a Pawn Brokers mark (which they often made/make when taking in valuable metal items). At sometime a previous owner of this dish fell on hard times and visited their local pawnbroker....did they ever manage to reclaim it...we'll never know!
*Please see Vetraio50's very valid and erudite comments below; on the assay timings, as it is easy to wrongly assume the given date (year) letter mark is a given Jan 1st to Dec 31st, start/finish year.
(Also; occasionally, items made a considerable time before being presented for assay, end up bearing a later (than manufacture) year mark)
So all in all; the marks on our collectables often deliver up a veritable host of interesting clues as to the item's hiSTORY and background! (* As long as we do not read too much into them, or conversely; too superficially ;)

Elizabeth Linhart Veneman
Elizabeth Linhart Veneman has always viewed growing up in Northern California as both a blessing and curse. There is so much to see, do, and experience all within a short drive—from broad sequoias in the Sierras to ancient lava beds north of Mount Shasta, from creaky Gold Rush towns to the pampering Wine Country—that she began to wonder why anyone would ever leave.
Elizabeth was eventually lured out of the Golden State to Alaska's far north, where she traveled the Inside Passage, baked bread under the midnight sun in Denali National Park, and chronicled the state's burgeoning sustainable agriculture for Alaska Magazine. These adventures culminated in penning the travel guide InsightGuides: Alaska.
But Elizabeth knew her California roots were too deep to stay away for long. Raised in Carmel, where her great-great grandmother opened the first restaurant (a soup kitchen with dirt floors!) at the turn of the 20th century, she would always call California home. So she returned and devoted herself to writing about the state she loves most. Her work has included the travel guides SmartGuide: San Francisco and InsightGuides: San Francisco, as well as reporting on food and sustainable agriculture for local publications.
Elizabeth Linhart Veneman is the author of several Moon travel guides, including Moon California and Moon Napa & Sonoma.

The closest the investment world has to a Bruce Springsteen concert is a David Einhorn presentation. Of course, when The Boss plays, no one's feeling anxious that they're about to lose their money.
The concert was in full swing this morning, as Einhorn presented a list of his favorite and least-favorite stocks at the Value Investing Congress in New York. We wrote about the entire presentation here.
Almost every stock that Einhorn mentioned moved after he started talking, but the market didn't take everything he said at face value. Notably, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters (GMCR) rose on Tuesday even after Einhorn panned the stock for second time. Another one of his pans — Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG) — fell hard, but some investors spoke out against his case.
Here's where the stocks ended up, along with whether Einhorn was negative or positive:
Chipotle, negative: Down 4.2%.
General Motors (GM), positive: Up 2.6%.
Green Mountain, negative: Up 2.9%.
Cigna (CI), positive: Up 1.1%.
St. Joe (JOE), negative: Down 1.6%.
Moody's (MCO), negative: Up 0.4%.
This post initially misstated the Moody's gain.

So as we are cleaning out our totally trashed rental we found copies of tax returns and have 3 returns for the same year for 3 adults all claiming the same ( not on the lease minor) as a dependent.
How can I turn this into the IRS????
Yes I want them nailed!!! Anything I can do to get even is welcome as I doubt I will ever recover damages and back rent in full. At least maybe the IRS will get the triplke child credit back.

Eagles' Celek Must Turn Season Around

I think I'm liking the Hagel choice.
He has both the pro-War for Israel and the Praise for Gays segments of Congress with their panties all in a twist.
Don't care for the Kerry pick, but at some point, you've got to realize Obama's still going to pick one of his people.
Republicans Senators universally support John Kerry for Secretary of State
but oppose Chuck Hagel for Defense.
Can you expound on that?
Republicans Senators universally support John Kerry for Secretary of State
The reason they support him can't be because it would open up a Dem seat in Mass and allow Brown to run for it, could it?
Well he can't be any less qualified than Hillary or less effective than Rice or Albright. He has served on the Senate Foreign Relations committee for a couple of decades so he has to have heard something about something regarding foreign policy. But I would largely agree I haven't seen any great idea or accomplishment out of him, he seems to sort of just like being there like Biden.
The Emergency Committee for Israel (ECI), a pro-Israel group, has purchased www.ChuckHagel.com to warn against President Obama's nomination of former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel (Neb.) for Defense secretary.
Obama announced Hagel's nomination at a 1 p.m. press conference at the White House, and the selection is already facing criticism from some GOP lawmakers, who have raised questions about whether their former colleague would be a strong ally of Israel.

Safety tips recommended for coping with the heat
Posted June 27, 2003; 04:28 p.m.
The staff of Princeton University Health Services has provided the following information and safety tips for University community members and visitors to follow during periods of high temperatures this summer:
- Working or exercising outdoors during excessively high temperatures can result in heat rash, heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Anyone is susceptible to a heat-related illness and should take steps to minimize risk factors.
- Keep water on hand to remain well hydrated. Sports drinks or fruit juices also are recommended to help replenish lost fluids. Avoid alcoholic and caffeinated beverages.
- Stay in air-conditioned spaces whenever possible.
- Wear light-colored, loose-fitting clothing and a lightweight hat that shades the head and face.
- Wear sunscreen to protect against sunburn.
- Avoid any strenuous outdoor activity, especially between the hours of noon and 3 p.m. Limit outdoor exercise to short periods of time in the morning and late afternoon.
- The safe amount of exercise is related to each person's fitness level and how well acclimated he or she is to the heat. Generally, limit exercise in the heat to 15-30 minutes for the first few sessions and gradually increase until becoming acclimated to the heat, which takes one to two weeks.
- If any signs of heat-related illness are present, stop exercising immediately, get to a cool environment and obtain medical advice. Anyone who has suffered a heat-related illness must not return to exercise until cleared by a physician.
- Drink approximately 16 ounces of fluid two hours before any outdoor exercise and eight ounces every 15 minutes during exercise. Drinking only when thirsty is not enough offset the fluid lost during exercise. Anyone exercising for more than one hour or at a high level of intensity should replenish fluids with a combination of water and beverages containing electrolytes and carbohydrates, such as sports drinks. Avoid "energy" drinks that are high in caffeine or contain ephedra, which may be hazardous.
- When working outdoors, take frequent breaks and cool down in an air-conditioned space. Princeton's Office of Environmental Health and Safety has developed a heat stress fact sheet for outdoor workers.
- Keep in mind that young children, the elderly and people with chronic health conditions -- including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and diabetes -- are more susceptible to the effects of the heat.
- To determine whether the heat and humidity are high enough to avoid outdoor activity, visit the National Weather Service's heat index chart .
If you are feeling any symptoms of heat exposure, or if you want more information, call University Health Services at (609) 258-3141.

The Beatles on the Road to 'Magical Mystery Tour'
The first day of June 1967 saw the release of an album that would provide the soundtrack for the approaching summer. For weeks to come, nearly everywhere you went, you would hear it: on the radio, in restaurants and clubs, from passing automobiles and through the open windows of homes, where it spun repeatedly on turntables.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was the album, and it was the Beatles' latest and greatest achievement. The record defined not only that summer—dubbed the Summer of Love—but also the year and, eventually, the moment at which pop music became art. Until then, pop music had been written and produced for teenagers, and teenage music was not supposed to be like this: sophisticated, challenging, as carefully wrought as an objet d'art.
With Sgt. Pepper's, the Beatles redefined the genre even further than they had the previous year with Revolver, creating grand productions punctuated by calliopes, classical Indian instruments, orchestras, animal noises, sound effects and layered crashes of piano chords. Pressed onto a 12-inch slab of vinyl and packed into a baroque, parti-colored sleeve, the music on Sgt. Pepper's constituted not just an album but an event—a pivotal moment in the development of Western music.
So what do you do for an encore? Seizing the moment, the Beatles might have carried onward with a music project even grander, or defied expectations and taken a completely different artistic direction. In fact, they would do both in 1968 with their sprawling, stripped-down double-disc White Album.
But in the meantime, in late April 1967, with the Sgt. Pepper's sessions barely finished and the album still unreleased, they launched haphazardly into a new project based on, of all things, an art-film concept dreamed up by their bassist, Paul McCartney. Titled Magical Mystery Tour, it was designed from the beginning as a TV film that would include the Beatles both as actors and as musical performers. The idea had come to McCartney on April 11 during a return flight from the U.S. to Britain.
The Beatles had quit touring the previous August, and a film, he reasoned, would be a good way to keep them in the public eye. In fact, it would be little more than a container for six new Beatles songs: the title track, "Your Mother Should Know," "The Fool on the Hill," "Blue Jay Way," "I Am the Walrus" and "Flying." Accordingly, the film's plot was slight and functional: a bus carrying the band and a group of tourists through provincial England comes under the power of a cadre of magicians (also played by the Beatles), after which strange things start to happen. As a story device, the bus tour was certain to appeal to British viewers.
"It was basically a sharabang trip," George Harrison said, "which people used to go on from Liverpool to see the Blackpool Lights," a popular electric light display presented in the autumn months. "They'd get loads of crates of beer and an accordion player and all get pissed, basically—pissed in the English sense, meaning drunk. And it was kind of like that. It was a very flimsy kind of thing."
As John Lennon saw it, "It's about a group of common, or 'garden,' people on a coach tour around everywhere, really, and things happen to them."
No one in the group took the concept very seriously. The Beatles didn't hire big-name screenwriters or a visionary director, or pour loads of money into the production. They simply signed up some character actors—including Jessie Robins as Ringo Starr's bellicose, fat aunt, and eccentric Scottish poet and musician Ivor Cutler as the skeletal Buster Bloodvessel—hired out a coach, and hit the English countryside, filming a series of bizarre and droll sketches designed to support the title's dual notions of magic and mystery.
"We rented a bus and off we went," Starr says. "There was some planning. John would always want a midget or two around, and we had to get an aircraft hangar to put the set in. We'd do the music, of course. They were the finest videos, and it was a lot of fun."
"We knew we weren't doing a regular film," McCartney says. "We were doing a crazy, roly-poly Sixties film."
Indeed, the entire last half of 1967 was a strange time for the Beatles. Concurrent with the start of Magical Mystery Tour, they'd agreed to provide music for Yellow Submarine, an animated film based on their 1966 song of the same name from Revolver. Film productions had been a secondary aspect of the Beatles' career ever since their 1964 feature film debut, A Hard Day's Night. Now, however, they were involved in two films simultaneously. In addition, at nearly the same time that they'd agreed to Yellow Submarine, their manager, Brian Epstein, had signed them up to appear on Our World, a live global television event scheduled for June 25, for which the Beatles would compose and perform a new composition, "All You Need Is Love."
Clearly, there was no shortage of projects for the group to work on. The problem was that, after an intense five months of recording Sgt. Pepper's, they found it difficult to focus again on a new project, let alone three.
"I would say they had no focus, absolutely," says Ken Scott, the Abbey Road engineer who ran the mixing console for several of Magical Mystery Tour's songs. (His recollections of working with the Beatles as well as recording classic albums by David Bowie, Elton John, Supertramp and others are chronicled in his new memoir, Abbey Road to Ziggy Stardust.) "It was kind of weird, 'cause I'd worked with them from A Hard Day's Night through Rubber Soul as a second engineer, and I'd seen sort of how they would get down to work and all of that kind of thing. But on Magical Mystery Tour, the focus didn't seem there. It was kind of thrown together."
A survey of the group's recording sessions from this period bears out his point. Between the completion of Sgt. Pepper's on April 21 and the conclusion of sessions for Magical Mystery Tour the following November, the group recorded about an album's worth of songs, several of which remained unmixed or unfinished for another year, some for even longer. In addition to the six Magical Mystery Tour tracks, the Beatles recorded McCartney's "All Together Now," and Harrison's "Only a Northern Song" and "It's All Too Much," all of which ended up on the Yellow Submarine soundtrack, released in January 1969. Also started during this time was the recording of Lennon's novelty tune "You Know My Name (Look Up the Number)," which remained unfinished until late 1969 and unreleased until 1970.
Which is not to imply that the Beatles lacked motivation. Geoff Emerick, who engineered Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's and much of Magical Mystery Tour, believes their almost nonstop working schedule from 1962 through 1967 had everything to do with their lack of direction in the wake of Sgt. Pepper's. In his 2006 memoir, Here, There and Everywhere, he recalls, "People don't realize how hard the Beatles worked in the studio, and on the road. Not just physically, but psychologically and mentally it had to have been incredibly wearying. Now"—with the completion of Sgt. Pepper's—"it was time to let off some steam. All throughout the spring and summer of 1967, the prevalent feeling in the group seemed to be: after all those years of hard work, now it's time to play.
"Personally, I saw it as just a bit of harmless light relief after all the intensity that had gone in to Pepper. The question was, how long could it last before they got bored?"

Deeplinks Blog posts about Video Games
"Your console has been banned." For many gaming enthusiasts, perhaps nothing is more unnerving than the prospect of losing the ability to duel with friends and strangers over the Internet for hours on end. Yet earlier this month, this fear became a reality for many Xbox owners when Microsoft banned a large number of consoles from its Xbox Live service. The move effectively prevents the machines from playing games online, and according to reports so far, the ban allegedly only affects consoles that have been modified by users in order to play pirated games.
When you buy World of Warcraft (WoW) in a retail box, do you own the copy of the software you bought? That's the critical legal question facing the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in a pending appeal in MDY v. Blizzard, and the question that Public Knowledge took on in an excellent amicus brief filed with the court earlier this week.
The term "machinima" (machine + cinema) has been coined to describe movies made using video games. In addition to being an inspiring new "film" genre, it's also at the cutting edge of many important legal questions at the intersection of copyright, trademark, and contractual restrictions (i.e., EULAs and ToS). At the same time, some video game vendors have begun reaching out to embrace machinima.
On April 24-25, 2009, Stanford Law School will be hosting "Play Machinima Law," a timely conference examining these issues, where I'll be one of the speakers. Recommended!
"Spies' Battleground Turns Virtual," proclaims a headline in Wednesday's Washington Post. The headline alone would raise concerns — after decades of electronic surveillance, what exactly is it about US spies' work that has suddenly turned virtual? But this turns out to be only the first of the many falsehoods, baseless assertions and lame misperceptions that comprise the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity's new fearmongering paper on the dangers of unmonitored civillian communication.
The big news in the machinima world this week has been Microsoft's new "Game Content Usage Rules," which is a license that explicitly authorizes the creation of machinima (and other derivative works) using Microsoft game content. As far as I know, this is the first time a major commercial game vendor has created a "machinima license" to facilitate this exciting new genre. (Check out This Spartan Life's interview of Malcolm McLaren for an example of the amazing things machinima creators are doing using Halo.)

text: Debut is in the unfortunate position of being genuinely bad, yet not terrible enough to have an ounce of camp value. Which is to say that the two 30-minute-ish episodes which compose the OVA set aren't the sort of thing you can at least find joy in by getting drunk and making fun of them with your friends. Instead they're slow-paced romance/comedy with simplistic, overly-sentimental messages about accepting heartbreak, looking toward the future, and remembering lost friends. Each stand-alone episode finds the four main characters with dramatically different dynamics to their friendship. In the first... See full review

16 Ridiculous 'Dawson's Creek' Moments That Never Happened to You
We're not afraid to admit — 'Dawson's Creek' will always serve as a pop culture beacon of light. With it's witty banter and risque themes, the teen soap guides teenagers into through the rocky path of adolescence and into adulthood.
In honor of the 16th anniversary of the pilot's premiere (the week of Jan. 20), we took a look at 16 of the most impractical moments on 'Dawson's Creek.' From Joey's endless appeal to the youth of Capeside to absentee parents, life was never boring — or realistic — for Dawson & Co.
It's unlikely that your BFF of the opposite sex was allowed to prop a latter next to your open bedroom window and pop in at all hours of the night.
Your boyfriend never posed naked for you, a la Rose in 'Titanic.'
There's no way you lost your virginity to your English teacher (and still graduated).
We still don't look this graceful getting out of cabs.
Who celebrates their acceptance into Harvard by taking ecstasy at a rave?
Casual conversations with your friends didn't sound like an Aaron Sorkin script.
'Jaws' isn't a normal place to search for the answer to life.
You could barely parallel park, let alone completely restore an old boat.
No one ever wrote a hit teen soap based on your life.
Our boyfriend bought us dinner, not walls.
Sue Sylvester wasn't your mom. (Fun fact: Remember when she played Mrs. Witter in Season 4?)
Mom jeans (from the Gap) never looked this good on us.
Let's be honest. Your high school years never resembled the cover of a J.Crew catalog.
Our problems were never this hardcore.
If we sailed off into the sunset with our significant other for the entire summer, we would have been grounded for life.
We didn't react to utter despair with this face. (Hopefully.)
