Mozart Plus Series
Page Tools
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University, November 26
Central to this concert, second-last of the final appearances here by Markus Stenz, was Dvorak's New World Symphony in E minor.
A popular work that seems to enjoy an airing every year from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, this was its second appearance in 2004, the first coming at a Sidney Myer free concert in February.
Stenz caused no ripples of uneasiness in his reading, which followed a formal and sensible path with a few dynamic surprises in the first movement, where some of the composer's phrases were given plenty of breathing space.
By the time Geoffrey Dodd produced his cor anglais solo in the familiar Largo, the blocks had slotted into place and the interpretation delivered fully in terms of excitement and blazing rhetoric, including a stentorian conclusion.
It might not have been the most challenging way to come to grips with the centenary of Dvorak's death, but the performance once again gave us ample time to reflect on the solid work that Stenz has put into developing the MSO's style of performance, one that becomes more assured and energetic during these final weeks of the conductor's tenure as artistic director.
While there's a tendency to encourage the brass family, Stenz also attends to the undervalued string families, giving violas and double basses emphatic encouragement whenever it is due.
The evening's guest soloist, Kolja Blacher, worked through the Violin Concerto No. 4 by Mozart in his usual dedicated and focused style, well exercised by this score that ends in a rondeau where the juxtaposed sections expose the performer's powers of dexterity. Blacher's intonation rarely faltered and he again demonstrated his ability to outline a leading melodic path combining solidity and mobility.
Stenz began with the Overture to The Marriage of Figaro. His Act 3 addition to the program comprised The Unanswered Question by Ives, allied to a Bach sarabande from Blacher: an original juxtaposition although the American composer's essay in musical metaphysics hardly broke fresh ground, as it was the prelude to Stenz's 1998 performance of the Mahler Symphony No. 2, with which major work he will conclude his residency this weekend.

Person A posts a topic on July 12th at 3:06PM. Person B replies on July 15th at 7:02PM. It will say "Posted on July 12th 3:06PM by Person B"
Also, sometimes it randomly goes to the non-mobile site. From posting a topic, going to a different page, it can happen any time.
This is all on an iPod Touch if that matters.

Actually Mr. slinky, My mobile sometimes (not often) will go to desktop version for one page, but once I go to another page it goes back to normal. This happens at anytime really, no particular forum does it more than others. Never touch desktop version
It doesn't randomly go to desktop. You are selecting desktop. Either on the iPod or your computer.

Lake Weir coach Jason Robinson is faced with replacing four starters this spring who have signed college deals, including the county's leading receiver in 2012, Shawn Evans.
Lake Weir head football coach Jason Robinson is faced with replacing four starters this spring who have signed college deals, including the county's leading receiver in 2012, Shawn Evans.
And while the third-year coach will undoubtedly miss guys like Evans, standout lineman Linton Meggie, and linebacker Jervan Etienne, he returns 16 total starters from last year's 3-7 squad.
"We are not rebuilding," Robinson said. "We are becoming a consistent, fearless team. The kids are excited for the fall, and we plan on being in the conversation of bringing the playoffs back to Lake Weir."
In order for Robinson and the Hurricanes to accomplish that, they'll need to get past state runner-up Gainesville High, regional semifinalist Vanguard, and District 6A-5 newcomer Forest. That trio outscored Lake Weir by a combined 117-32 last season, but Robinson is convinced he finally has the skill players in place to compete with those schools.
Whether it's young guys moving up through the program like speedster Josue Saint-Fleur (WR), returning starters Tre Taylor (RB), QB Cutler Blackburn and receivers Malik Lyew-Gregory and Jernir Etienne, or Forest transfer Colton Ambrose, Robinson finds himself needing more footballs to spread around.
"We will have to be creative to find ways to get them all the ball in space and let them do their thing," Robinson said. "This should mean we will finally get to run the wide-open offense I dreamed of when I got here."
Rising sophomore Chris Hagin will help solidify an offensive line that remains a work in progress. The 6-foot-2, 285-pounder, who runs a 4.9 40 and benches more than 300 pounds, looks to claim the right guard spot next to veteran right tackle Dakota Horner, who will miss spring drills due to wrist surgery.
The defense, which allowed more than 34 points a game in 2012, should get a boost from a host of transfers in the fall. Robinson will have former Forest safety William Jackson and North Marion transplants Brandon Carbajal (LB) and Jack Maier (DE) join seven returning starters on the defensive side of the ball in the fall, when transfers are allowed to play at their new school.
In the meantime, Robinson is juggling college scouts — including representatives for state powers Florida, FSU and Miami — while continuing to challenge an enthusiastic group of 45 varsity players this spring.
So far, he's been very pleased with what he's seen.
"We have tons of energy," Robinson said. "Lake Weir is the place to be now. We are keeping our kids and outsiders want in on the bright future that awaits us."
The next measuring stick comes in the form of Belleview, which the 'Canes defeated 22-20 in Week 2 last year. Lake Weir will host the Rattlers on May 30 at 7 p.m. in its annual spring game.
Robinson said the focus leading up to this year's spring test has been simple: "Clean up mistakes made by young players last season, build depth, and beat Belleview."

Zimbabwe's cabinet has approved a commercialisation and privatisation plan encompassing state-held assets in industries including telecoms, energy and infrastructure. Minister of Finance Tendai Biti told the Zimbabwe Independent that the approved plan took into consideration timing, overall objectives and appropriate processes to be used, whilst state enterprises had been divided into categories depending on their potential and current state. The category of high value, high potential businesses (but needing capitalisation and better management) includes national PSTN operator TelOne, power stations and the national railway operator, according to the minister. It is estimated that the country needs USD10 billion to carry out necessary transformations to revitalise its economy, but has so far raised around USD1 billion. CommsUpdate previously reported that the government intended to put state-run mobile operator NetOne up for sale, but last month it was revealed the sale attempt would be suspended until the global economy improved.Also in the news, Zimbabwes Minister of Information and Communication Technology Nelson Chamisa has ordered TelOne to make heavy cuts to its fixed line tariffs and to match billing systems used in other countries in the region. On Thursday Chamisa issued a ministerial order barring the telco from cutting off any customers unable to pay their bills, until the matter is resolved by cabinet.

MathLink and Sparse Matrices
[This post has been delayed due to email problems - moderator]
Hi there,
I have been working with Mathematica and Mathlink/C++ for awhile,
specifically in iterative numerical methods for Markovian processes.
So far, to pass information between Mathematica and C++ executables
I have been importing/exporting the matrices (sparse) which characterize
the process under study.
Do you know an easy way to pass a sparse matrix through Mathlink, as
with a regular matix, i.e. something like a GetSparseArray() function,
and avoiding exporting/importing to/from a file?
The matrices I am considering are about 100Mbyte in size (SparseArray).
And I have already tried to obtain the entries of the matrices as arrays
using ArrayRules(), but you need 10 times more memory than the size
of the matrix, for the conversion process.
many thanks in advance..

If you and your partner aren't exactly seeing eye to eye on baby names, picking a unisex option could cut the number of baby name battles in half. (I know that would have saved us a little unexpected angst!) But don't worry that you'll be stuck with something bland and boring if you opt for one name. These days lots of totally cute monikers are appearing on both sides of the aisle. Check out our picks of the best unisex baby names.
1. Angel
This beatific name is one of the most long-standing unisex options.
2. Avery
This red-hot girls' name — currently clocking in at #13 on the top baby names list for 2014 — has also become popular for boys. It means ruler of the elves.
3. Cameron
Hilarious Cameron from "Modern Family" helped give this name its current buzz. Cameron skews heavily toward the boys, at least for now.
4. Charlie
This nickname for Charles is nearly equally popular for boys and girls as a name as its own right.
5. Emerson
A cute surname pick, Emerson means industrious, and surprisingly, is more popular for girls now than boys.
6. Finley
One of a whole slew of charming unisex Irish names, Finley means "fair-haired," and currently hits in the top 200 for either sex.
7. James
James for a girl? It's been used in the middle spot by several celebs, and Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds chose it as the first name for their daughter.
8. Jordan
Jordan is a geographic name — a river and country in the Middle East — that's a favorite for both boys and girls. (It's currently skews more toward boys, as a top consistent top 100 choice.)
9. Marley
This surname that means meadow has been long popular for girls, but just hit the top 1,000 for boys within the last five years.
10. Parker
Another surname favorite, Parker still skews slightly toward the boys' camp.
11. Quinn
An Irish favorite that means "leader," it's consistently in the top 400 for both boys and girls.
12. Riley
Basically, if it has a "ley" ending, it seems to be fair game for either sex. Currently, Riley skews more heavily toward the girls.
13. River
This nature-themed name has been a long-standing favorite for boys, but hit the top 1,000 for girls within the past five years.
14. Rowan
Another "red-head" name with Irish and Scottish origins, Rowan is a top 500 pick for both boys and girls .
15. Rory
A vibrant Irish name that means red-haired, Rory's a sweet unisex option.
16. Sage
This herb and greenish hue has been equally popular for boys and girls.
17. Sawyer
The surname of Mark Twain's famed boy hero is a top 50 pick for boys, but still in the top 400 for girls.
18. Skyler/Skylar
This variant spelling of the Dutch name Schuyler actually has nothing to do with the atmosphere — it means scholar. Thanks to Breaking Bad, it's become a much more popular option for both boys and girls.

Koobface, the social-networking worm that's becoming almost as popular as Facebook itself, has added a new feature for Internet Explorer users who happen to stumble upon its fake Facebook pages.
The worm has been installing FAKEAV malware on victims' PCs when they are confronted with a pop up asking them to install or cancel – in either case the malware downloads itself and begins stealing personal or financial information.
Now, with this new twist, even savvy IE users who know that FAKEAV is, well, fake, will have a hard time avoiding the malware.
According to a post on Trend Micro's blog, Koobface is giving visitors to its fake Facebook pages no way out; now if users running Internet Explorer try to close out of the FAKEAV pop up – instead of choosing to install or cancel it - the malware is downloaded anyway. In fact any button a user clicks now activates the download.
New twists like this one show that the Koobface gang is working to stay one step ahead of PC users. The gang is also perfecting techniques for making the malware as ubiquitous as possible; researchers recently studied how the group uses search-engine optimization techniques to achieve the highest levels of exposure.

Who qualifies?
Some 41 million individuals were eligible for SNAP benefits in an average month in 2008, according to the USDA, but 27 million participated and 14 million did not.
You're eligible if:
- Your monthly net income doesn't exceed $903 for a single person or $1,214 for a married couple.
- You have savings of less than $3,000, not including individual retirement accounts.
- You don't live in federally subsidized housing.
More than 66 percent of eligible Americans of any age participated in SNAP in 2008, but only 35 percent of eligible people 60 and older enrolled, according to a USDA study released in June.
|The excuse
|The response
|Not wanting to "take a handout."
|You've paid taxes to make this program possible.
|Fearing the stigma of using food stamps.
|Benefits now come via easy-to-use debit cards.
|Not knowing how to qualify or apply.
|Find out at AARP Benefits QuickLINK.
|Fearing they'll deprive others of benefits.
|The program isn't a limited resource; benefits are available to everyone who qualifies.
|Feeling the benefit is negligible.
|Though the minimum benefit is $16 a month, the average benefit is $70 a month.

Madisonville Parishioners Robbed at Gunpoint
A church was robbed by three men, armed with a shotgun and a handgun each.
One suspect is in custody at least. Warrants are being issued for the others.
At least no one was hurt.
I am not one to claim that I COMPLETELY understand the criminal mind, but for them robbing a CHURCH!?!? That is the THE LOWEST form of robbery (there are others,but this is THE lowest) in my opinion, to rob the house of the Lord....
That is about 20 miles from me and I pray for the church members.
Most folks feel safe in church and once that safety zone is violated it is hard to feel safe in that place again.
Safety is not in the house (Church) but in the LORD.
I pray for them, and that the three that did this sick act will be cough.
Safety like control is an illusion. One we have propagated to make us feel better. That is why as a pastor I carry. It doesn't mean bad things won't happen. Just that I'll be a little better prepared if they do!
This should surprise no one. How many times has someone said..."Stay armed...any time, any place...stay safe!":rolleyes:? :rolleyes:?
I carry to and in church. Pastor loves me for it. He asked me if I had to would I shoot someone to protect him and the congregation I simply said yes. He was happy to hear that. I guess there is also 4 others that carry in my church to my surprise
There was a time in America when the Church was considered holy ground by nearly all the population.
Today the Church holds little regard in the eyes of very many in our population.
God help us, but many see the church as just a gathering of unarmed sheep ready to be sheared.
Money is not the important thing, if that would solve the matter than just give the shotgun welding bandit the money and open the door and let him go while you call 911. The true problem is that when they barge in with the gun at the ready they hold the power to wound or kill and may use that power regardless of the money or no money.
Fighting back, you may not win but all the choices are not in the hand of the bandit with a gun.
The public (in general) has lost the Fear of God.
I carry at church too. I worry about nuts who hate or want to make a statement showing up with a gun more than the robbery motive. Either way, I plan to be there and I plan to be ready.
In fact at my Church we CHL holders are encouraged to. And the Leaders only ask that if we do, we let them know, so they will know who to look to if there is a problem. They explain it like this. They want to know where the Sheep Dogs are BEFORE the Volves come.
Oh, and we have armed Security too. They know we are their back up.
There have been too many incidences where someone with an axe to grind, walks into a Church to take out his anger at God.
My only prayer is he trys to make a statement before he starts shooting. We would like to know when to draw!
I have no problem arranging a meeting with God for him to discuss his problems. Not that I want to be put in that positioin, but if I have to, I will!
In Mississippi we can not carry at church. So I won't attend until the law is changed. I avoid all gun free zones.
Nothing surprises me any more. Next, they'll rob a kindergarten and take all the lunch boxes.

Exterior wiring above and below grade for hot tub in Pennsylvania
I'm installing a hot tub outside, in Pennsylvania, on a concrete pad adjacent to an existing deck. The first wire run will be inside from the 60 amp 240 volt breaker in the house service panel, in the basement, extending 34 feet under the first floor joists inside our basement . The second run will be through the house's exterior concrete foundation wall (23 inches above grade) and extending 17 feet (all above grade) under the outside deck floor joists to the 60 amp GFCI disconnect box. The third run will be from the service disconnect panel vertically down 4 feet (to get it 18 inches below grade), then horizontally 8 feet (18 inches below grade), then vertically 3 feet up to return above grade and into the hot tub connection panel. I have plenty of 6-3 NM (with bare ground) for the first run inside the basement. My questions relate to what I need for the second run through the foundation wall and extending above grade to the GFCI disconnect box, and for the third run, half of which will be buried below grade, from the GFCI disconnect box to the tub. I know I need to encase the third run in 1 inch non-metallic conduit, but does the wire need to be THHN, with 4 individual color-coded insulated wires, including the ground? And what about the second run - does that also need to be encased inside conduit, and if so, 4 individual THHN color-coded insulated wires? (If so, I suppose I'll need to use a junction box in the basement to connect the first run NM to the second run THHN.)

U guys are killing us w/ the states
I didn't do the regions, though, JS did. If U PM him, I am sure he will fix it
Sure thought Tennessee deserved to be in the Southern US.
I live in Memphis, home of the BBQ, blues, and Elvis Pressley. Elvis sang, you know. Ran across Elvis twice, before he became famous. Went to school with Stella Stevens a year or two. Also Patsy and Ruth Welting, Metropolitan opera stars. For whatever that's worth.
The Wright family cemetery is in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, sort of overlooking I-40 there. Mother's side relatives lived in and around Red Boiling Springs, Tennessee.
This just to break the ice and get things started here.

This, of course, will raise hell with our Marsian members, and we'll then have to accomodate them. Where will it ever end?!?!

Go Vols
Give us a break about Tenn.
Never mind. I'll start a new thread.

Bob Wright; I am in New Hampshire but was born and raised in Chattanooga. I went to Navy A school at NATTC Millington and met my wife in Memphis. She was from Dyersburg and was in college there. Fact of the matter is that we will be back in D-Burg in mid-July for her 46th High School reunion. I have many good friends in Tennessee and we plan to retire back south once we get "old". (We aren't yet) One of the forums I am hooked up with, "Smith Shooters Forum" is based in Knoxville. I had seen some of your posts on here and like the way you think. It shouldn't have surprised me that you were from the true God's Country.

An article about films that portray women as gold-diggers made two mistakes in relation to Sex and the City. The opening line of the television series was not "Cupid has flown the coop", but "Cupid has flown the co-op". We said of the film: "Although the women's professions were never at the centre of the series, the movie has gone a step further: three of the four former women now support themselves via their relationships." That should have been "three of the four former career women" (Material girls, page 6, June 12).
Nice Time, a variant on the Candid Camera format, was broadcast soon after the original show came to an end in 1967, not after its brief revival in the mid-70s (Jonathan Routh obituary, page 30, June 9).
My Bloody Valentine was formed in Dublin and is not a Scottish band as we described it in an item about its album Loveless. The album cover shown in the accompanying illustration was not of Loveless, but an earlier album, Isn't Anything (Difficult albums: A history of hype, page 29, June 11).
The weather report for June 10 (page 33) gave the unlikely combination of snow and a temperature of 26C in Mombasa. It wasn't snowing.
In the Pond Life edition of our nature spotting foldies series, distributed with the paper last week, the crustaceans illustrations were labelled incorrectly. The pictures of the water slater and freshwater shrimp were the wrong way round. We should also have said that when pond-dipping one should empty the bucket contents back into the pond carefully.

U-Boat Watch Collection: The Return
We were excited when our bigwig boss said we'd be talking about U-Boat because we thought they wanted to discuss our idea for YouBoat, the interactive boating website. However, we were rather harshly corrected by said bigwig, along with a criticism that the YouBoat website sounded "as interesting as eating cardboard."

April 2, 2011
Site: Ann Arbor, Mich. (Varsity Tennis Center)
Score: #22 Michigan 5, Wisconsin 2
Records: U-M (10-6, 3-1 Big Ten), Wisconsin (7-9, 1-2 Big Ten)
Next U-M Event: Sunday, April 3 -- vs. Minnesota (Varsity Tennis Center), Noon
ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- The No. 22-ranked University of Michigan men's tennis team got contributions from the bottom of the lineup and underclassmen en route to a 5-2 victory on Saturday (April 2) over Wisconsin inside the Varsity Tennis Center.
The Wolverines took the doubles point to take an early 1-0 lead on the Badgers. The No. 3 team of Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y/Plainview Old Bethpage JFK) and sophomore Chris Cha (Eureka, Mo./University of Missouri H.S.) were the first off the court, dispatching Fredrik Ask and Rod Carey, 8-3. Michigan won the doubles point with a win on the No. 1 court, as the No. 19-ranked team of Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance) and Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) battled back from an early deficit to defeat No. 78 Marek Michalicka and Billy Bertha, 8-6. With the match tied at 6-6 and the Badgers' pair serving, Jung and King earned a break and subsequently served for the point in the next game to give Michigan the point heading into singles.
Cha increased Michigan's lead to 2-0 to begin singles play, defeating Ask, 6-4, 6-0 at No. 6. The Badgers got a point back a few minutes later at No. 4 to bring the score to 2-1. Freshman Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs Prep) then moved back to .500 in singles and snapped a two-match losing streak with a dominant, 6-1, 6-1 win at No. 5 over Carey to make the score 3-1, before Jung, the captain, rallied in the second set to defeat Bertha, 6-1, 6-4, and clinch the win for Michigan.
Despite the point being clinched, two matches were still ongoing. At No. 3, Bernstein was down 5-0 in the first set but was dominant thereafter, winning 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 (10-4) over Ricardo Martin to make the score 5-1 in favor of Michigan. Wisconsin took the match's final point with a back-and-forth battle at No. 1, as Michalicka ended King's 12-match win streak, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 1-0 (10-8). King was up 8-3 in the supertiebreaker, but Michalicka, ranked No. 70 in the nation, won the next seven points to win the match.
Michigan returns to the Varsity Tennis Center tomorrow (Sunday, April 3), when it hosts No. 24 Minnesota at noon for possession of the Little Brown Jug.
The following are match-by-match results:
No. 1 -- #70 Marek Michalicka (UW) d. #21 Evan King (U-M), 6-7 (3), 7-6 (4), 1-0 (10-8)
No. 2 -- #57 Jason Jung (U-M) d. Billy Bertha (UW), 6-1, 6-4
No. 3 -- Shaun Bernstein (U-M) d. Ricardo Martin (UW), 3-6, 7-5, 1-0 (10-4)
No. 4 -- Petr Satral (UW) d. Barrett Franks (U-M), 6-2, 6-2

No. 2 -- Petr Satral/Ricardo Martin (UW) d. Chris Madden/Barrett Franks (U-M), 9-7
No. 3 -- Shaun Bernstein/Chris Cha (U-M) d. Fredrik Ask/Rod Carey (UW), 8-3
Order of Completion: Doubles 3-1-2, Singles 6-4-5-2*-3-1
* Clinched match
Michigan improves to 71-8-1 all-time against Wisconsin. The two teams also met last season in Ann Arbor, a 4-3 Michigan victory (April 4, 2010).
With his doubles win, Jung moves into a tie for fourth place at Michigan for career doubles wins (84). He is tied with former Wolverines George Navas (2007-10) and Eric Friedler (1973-76). The school record is 90, held by three men -- Brian Hung (2004-07), Matko Maravic (2005-08) and Mike Sroczynski (2007-10).
With his win in singles, Jung has now won five straight and joins King at the 20-win plateau (20-9 overall).
King had his 12-match win streak snapped with a loss to Marek Michalicka (Wisconsin).
Michigan improved to 6-10 in winning the doubles point this season. It has won the point in five of its last seven matches. The Wolverines are 5-1 when winning the doubles point and 5-5 when losing it.
It was Michigan's first home match since March 11 (Tulsa).
The match was played indoors.
Michigan Head Coach Bruce Berque
On the match ... "I thought we played pretty well. There were a lot of positives to take away from this, but there are also things we need to work on, specifically in doubles. Hopefully this gives us some momentum heading into tomorrow's match with Minnesota."
On Evan King ... "I thought he did a real good job in doubles. He was focused and executed on his shots. In singles, he wasn't quite as aggressive, especially down the stretch. He got a little bit comfortable after taking a lead in that supertiebreaker, and the other guy, Michalicka, really stepped up. He's a very good player. Evan needed to press more, and I'm sure he didn't do that to his satisfaction. He was put on his heels and Michalicka attacked. Evan probably feels this is one that got away."
On the play from the bottom of the lineup ... "Chris got off the court pretty quick, and he's played his last two matches at an extremely high level. It was good to see both Shaun and Justin come up with wins. Shaun really battled to come back and win that match after getting put in a hole early, and Justin played a fantastic match."
On the rivalry with Minnesota ... "Minnesota is usually a team that we play more than once in a season, for whatever reason. It's always close, and it's always a battle. They are well coached and they compete extremely hard. We're expecting a fight and another close match."
U-M Sophomore Chris Cha
On his match ... "I got off to a little bit of a rocky start. I got broken in that very first game to go down early, and from there, I just buckled down. I felt I made my opponent hit some very tough shots, and it looked like he lost a little bit of steam as the match went on. I was pretty happy with my play once I got that momentum. I thought I competed well and played a pretty good match out there today."
On the bottom of the lineup coming through with two wins ... "We've had a bit of a rough stretch over the past couple of weeks, but we felt that if we continued to work hard in practice, the results would start showing up in the matches again. We'll take wins wherever we can get them, whether that's at the top or the bottom."
On the level of his tennis ... "I think I'm playing pretty well right now and playing some of the best tennis of the season. It feels good. I'm starting to put it together and put myself into situations where I can be successful."
U-M Freshman Justin Rossi
On his match ... "My backhand was really working today. I was working off that, but I was able to step up and attack with my forehand when I needed to. I lost my two matches last weekend, but I just kept plugging away."
On the bottom of the lineup coming through with two wins ... "It's good for this team. Like Chris said, we'll take wins wherever we can get them. Evan and Jason are the two best players we have on this team, and they are pretty consistent. This win today will give not just Chris and I a lot of confidence, but this entire team. We just want to build on this into tomorrow's match and hopefully come out with the same result. We know it'll be a battle."

Bank rally helps pull Toronto stocks higher
By Leah Schnurr
TORONTO (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index ended a volatile session higher on Thursday, as financials were buoyed by Bank of Montreal's (BMO.TO: Quote) deal to restructure two of its commercial paper trusts.
The rally in the banking sector helped the benchmark overcome earlier sharp declines, as it was dragged down by resource issues that were shaken by retreating commodity prices.
Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO: Quote) jumped C$2.41, or 5.7 percent, to C$44.51 after it said late on Wednesday it had come to an agreement with counterparties and investors to restructure its Apex and Sitka commercial paper trusts.
The bank's shares have been battered by concern over its exposure to investments hurt by the credit crunch and fears that further writedowns will be needed.
The sector as a whole gained 2.1 percent, as Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CM.TO: Quote) rose C$4.09, or 6.8 percent, to C$64.26 and National Bank of Canada (NA.TO: Quote) was up C$3.18, or 7.1 percent, at C$48.18.
"BMO set the tone and it may be that they've put a finger in the dike at least," said John Kinsey, portfolio manager at Caldwell Securities Ltd.
"In our case it was really the ABCPs that were the problem, more so than any of the subprime or the derivatives (problems in the United States)," said Kinsey. "If indeed that is the case, we may be 90 percent there to remedying the situation and that obviously would be good for Canada."
The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE closed up 66.26 points, or 0.52 percent, at 12,775.64 with six of its 10 main groups higher. Continued...

C6H14 + 19/2 O2 -> 6 CO2 + 7H2O delta H = -4163 kJ
What mass of hexane is required to produce 1.0E5 kJ of heat by complete combustion?
-4163 kJ/mol x mol C6H14 = 1E5/-4163 kJ/mol
Mol = 1E5/-4163 kJ/mol
Mol = -24 mol
I know I can do m=n x MM now, but shouldn't the value of mol in the above be positive? Or do you just take the absolute value?
The answer is negative because you used a negative number for the kJ/mol. While the negative number is a true representation of an exothermic reaction you are not being consistent. You have two choices:
1. Disregard the negative sign for the -41663 or treat both numbers the same; i.e.,
2. Recognize that the 1E5 kJ you are producing is exothermic, also, and make that a negative number so that dividing a - by a - gives a plus.
As it is you are treating the 4153 as an exothermic reaction (which it is) but you are treating the 1E5 as an endothermic number but the question is asking for the amount of hexane needed to PRODUCE 1E5 (that's exothermic) so you should have a negative sign there too.
Personally, I simply ignore the sign for the 4163 because we know the mols needed must be positive.

FitzGerald: "I'm running for Ohio governor"
(Cleveland)- The top Democratic official in Cuyahoga County has officially entered the campaign to challenge Ohio Republican Gov. John Kasich (KAY'-sik) in next year's election.
County Executive Ed FitzGerald kicked off his campaign Wednesday in a crowded Cleveland ballroom, describing the Kasich administration as lobbyist-directed, cutting school aid and backing tax policies that benefit the rich.
FitzGerald plans to repeat the announcement later in Columbus and Cincinnati.
The 44-year-old former FBI agent and Lakewood mayor calls himself a reformer who helped restore integrity to a scandal-ridden county government in Ohio's most populous county.
FitzGerald must fend off critics who seek to use his designation as Public Official 14 in a corruption probe to tarnish his tough-on-crime message. He was never a target and was not charged.
In fact, FitzGerald touted his role as a reformer who restored integrity to county government after scandal led to prison terms for former county commissioner Jimmy Dimora and formaer county auditor Frank Russo.
FitzGerald also says Republican Governor John Kasich is leading Ohio down "the wrong road".
When asked about having a challenger for his job, Gov. Kasich said he doesn't have time for politics right now. He says the 2014 election will be a reflection about how Ohioans feel about their current situation.
"If they don't think they're going to get their money's worth they'll look in another direction," Kasich said.
He said elections for incumbents are all about how they've been doing in office so far.
"We'll get to that in plenty of time," Kasich said.
Kasich told reporters in Columbus that he has met Democratic challenger Ed FitzGerald, but that he doesn't really know him.

When I interviewed Suicide Silence vocalist, Eddie Hermida in October 2015 (read here), he had a strong statement for fans about the direction of the band's new album:
We're looking to burn bridges, man. We're looking for kids to either sink or swim with us. If you're at all hesitant about our band, if you don't get our motives and if you don't get our position in the world and you don't get where our music comes from, then you're gonna be one of those fans that gets left behind. It's one of those things where this next future, this next road for us is gonna be something that is really gonna put us to the test for ourselves more than anybody else. It's almost one of those things where it might even completely bomb, and we don't care. It's one of those things where we're literally at a point that we're not allowed to not take chances anymore. We're not allowed to play the safe road anymore.
With the release of the new self-titled Suicide Silence record (Feb. 24, 2017, Nuclear Blast) (read review), Eddie and the band kept their word. Actually, two words: clean vocals. And that's just the start. Yes, the new album is not safe at all. It all but abandons the band's deathcore sound and has turned into one of the more controversial metal releases in recent memory. In fact, it's facing St. Anger/Risk/Illud Divinum Insanus-levels of fan backlash. Acclaimed nu-metal producer Ross Robinson, who was integral in the beginning for bands like Korn, Fear Factory, Limp Bizkit and Slipknot in finding their signature styles, takes Suicide Silence and transforms it into a different band.
As Suicide Silence is about to hit the road supporting the new album, Eddie called into Live Metal's Jeff Maki to discuss the stylistic changes of the band, fan reaction to the album and his recent online feud with Australian deathcore band Thy Art is Murder. (more…)

Penn State expected to announce football coach Saturday
Ten days into the search for its next football coach, Penn State is expected to introduce the man who will replace Bill O'Brien.
University president Rodney Erickson and athletic director Dave Joyner have scheduled a 4:15 p.m. news conference Saturday at Beaver Stadium to make "a major announcement." The Big Ten Network, which will broadcast the news conference, said the announcement is "regarding the university's new football coach."
Vanderbilt coach James Franklin is expected to be named the 16th head coach in Penn State history. Franklin, 41, has spent the past three seasons in Nashville, Tenn., going 9-4 each of the past two seasons at the SEC school.
The Penn State Board of Trustees' recently formed compensation committee is meeting via conference call at 8:30 a.m. to approve an employment contract. ESPN, among other national outlets, has reported it is for Franklin, adding that he will be paid $4.5 million per season — a significant raise over what the university paid O'Brien.
According to Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers, if the compensation committee — chairwoman Linda B. Strumpf; Kathleen L. Casey; Mark H. Dambly; Karen B. Peetz; and Paul H. Silvis — approves the contract, the action will be taken in an public meeting over conference call at 9 a.m.
At that same time, Franklin is expected to address his Vanderbilt players during a team meeting, The Tennessean newspaper reported.
Franklin is described on the Vanderbilt website as "a relentless salesman and cheerleader for everything that represents the Star V."
A Langhorne native, Franklin remained in-state for his college playing career (East Stroudsburg) and the first two seasons of his coaching career (one at Kutztown, one at his alma mater). With a resume of lifting a perennial conference doormat in Vanderbilt into respectability, Franklin has been a hot commodity on the coaching market the past two offseasons.
He was given a new contract by Vanderbilt after the 2012 season, and the school reportedly made a last-ditch effort to keep him Friday. Franklin met with athletic director David Williams, big-money booster John Ingram and other university bigwigs, according to multiple media outlets in Nashville.
Vanderbilt spokesman Rod Williamson maintained Friday night that there was "no change in status" with Franklin.
"I just left a meeting with our athletic director, and he still has hope that Franklin will remain here," Williamson said via email.
Penn State interim coach Larry Johnson, when asked Friday evening whether his status had changed, told the Tribune-Review, "No, not at this time."
Johnson, who has been on the Nittany Lions' staff since 1996, interviewed for the head job for the second time in a 25-month span.
Johnson is one of Penn State's top recruiters and has been tasked with keeping the Lions' 19-member 2014 class together since O'Brien's resignation last week.
Penn State's class is ranked 24th nationally by Rivals.com, two spots ahead of Vanderbilt's.
That's lofty company for the Commodores, who posted just one winning season in the 28 years before Franklin led the team to three straight bowl appearances.
Rivals.com national recruiting director Mike Farrell said Penn State landing Franklin would be "a great hire."
"He's a guy who made his reputation (as an assistant) at Maryland as a tremendous recruiter, and he carried that recruiting over from Maryland," Farrell said. "But what he's done at Vanderbilt has proven he can coach as well. A lot of people who knew him as a coach at Maryland are saying now, 'This guy is more than just a recruiter now. He knows how to coach.' That's why this is a great hire. He's not just a guy who can recruit. You're getting a guy who can coach."
As Penn State players awaited official word — they had not been told by the university as of late Friday — some were pleased when reports began to leak that it apparently would be Franklin.
"I think he's a great choice because he's an enthusiastic young coach and appears hungry to continue being successful as a college coach," said West Mifflin's Adam Gress, who graduated three weeks ago after completing his senior season as the Lions' starting right tackle. "(The university community) would like him a lot because I believe he'd be excited about the football atmosphere Penn State has and would want to continue with Penn State's great football tradition."

Most electronics companies are simply waiting for the final regulations implementing the "conflict minerals" declaration inserted as Section 1502 into the Dodd Frank Act in 2010. Others are preparing now for the impending requirement, by working closely with the EICC's progressive efforts and asking suppliers about their readiness to determine whether any "conflict mine" metals are in their products. And some, like Intel, Motorola, Dell, and AMD, have been ahead of policymakers in dealing with these issues, according to Aaron Hall of Enough Project, a human-rights organization focused on this issue. But there's one company, capacitor maker KEMET Corp., that's taking conflict-free into its own hands. Kemet recently acquired Niotan Inc. — a leading manufacturer of tantalum powders — to take charge of a responsible "chain of custody" for its tantalum capacitors. We wonder…is this the start of "Fair-Trade Electronics?"
Where the RoHS Directive and REACH Regulation from the European Union seek to reduce the environmental impact of electronic and electrical equipment, 1502 seeks to reduce social impact. The four substances — tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold — are heavily mined in the Congo, and much of the mining in that war-torn central African country is controlled by militias that use the proceeds to fund ongoing conflict. Mining in the Congo doesn't just fuel the electronics industry, it also fuels murder, rape, slavery, conscription of child soldiers, and ongoing violence.
KEMET's strategy looks like "fair trade" — a business model so far seen in coffee, chocolate, and textiles — applied to extraction and refining. The fair trade model typically involves creating direct relationships with upstream producers, simplifying the supply chain by cutting out intermediaries, branding and pricing end products at the high end of the market, and using additional margin to benefit the original producers. Those benefits can include better wages and working conditions as well as social investments in local schools, infrastructure, health clinics, and so on.
KEMET's VP Strategic Marketing & Business Development Dr. Dan Persico explains that the Niotan acquisition will supply a significant portion of their tantalum powder requirements, and over the long term the specific mine they are working with in the conflict-free Katanga Province of the DRC is capable of supplying all of their tantalum needs and more — thus cutting out the "middle men." KEMET has contracted with the mine in part because it works with a miners cooperative to ensure fair wages. It is also working with OECD and non-governmental organizations to establish and audit strict rules for work safety and security, and has in addition earmarked US$1.5 million over a two-year period for social sustainability projects.
— What about "branding and pricing at the high end of the market"? KEMET publicly refers to "100% conflict free tantalum." Though it's not yet clear whether Kemet will command premium prices, certainly they are ahead of the pack as OEMs demand "conflict free" guarantees.
Granted, tantalum capacitors are one of hundreds of types of components in a typical electronic product. Nonetheless, the principles behind KEMET's strategy and bold implementation is a starting point for other companies as they prepare to comply with 1502 and – if applied to other worker-safety and fair-payment points in the company's products — could be the precursor of "Fair Trade Electronics."
Do you think "Fair Trade Electronics" is in our future? Please comment.

Basketball Hall of Famer Dennis Rodman had a tremendously emotional moment Monday evening when NBC Tonight Show host Jay Leno brought up the death of Los Angeles Lakers' owner Jerry Buss.
Fighting back tears, Rodman said, "Like a Dad. I never had a Dad."
Midway through their interview, Leno brought up the subject of Buss's death, and Rodman responded, "He was just like my Dad. Damn man, it's like, wow."
And then he choked up unable to speak.
"You alright?" Leno asked as he reached out to Rodman.
"No," Rodman answered as Leno brought out tissues. "I didn't want to bring this up, you know how it is."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Leno said.
As Rodman continued to fight for words and compose himself, Leno said, "He was an important guy to you."
"Like a Dad," Rodman said still trying to keep it together. "I never had a Dad, so what the hell. It's just awesome, man."
With that, the audience applauded, and Leno said, "I think that's nice."
From there, Leno lightened things up by asking about how poorly the Lakers are doing.
"It's a different era," Rodman replied. "Colby has done his job. He's a great guy. His kids play with my kids. My daughter's here, and guess what, I'm so blessed the fact that she's here, and the fact that."
With that, he choked up again, and clapped for his daughter in the audience before pointing to her.
After a brief discussion about Michael Jordan turning 50, Rodman mentioned that Leno and the people involved with the Tonight Show are like family to him. Pointing at Leno, Rodman said, "I love this guy. I love him to hell."
"We go way back," replied Leno. "We've been through a lot together. We've been through all the Dennis Rodmans up and down. All the different Dennis Rodmans have been here. The crazy Dennis, the unbelievable basketball player Dennis, the wild, we've been through all the things, and that's why we care about you."
A humble Rodman simply said, "Thank you, Jay."
For those that were unaware, Rodman's real father - appropriately named "Philander" - was an Air Force pilot and Vietnam War veteran who left his family for the Philippines when Dennis was very young.
Affectionately known as "The Worm," Rodman - who claimed during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech to have 46 brothers and sisters - spent the first part of his NBA career with the Detroit Pistons where he won two championship rings.
After a brief stint with the San Antonio Spurs, Rodman ended up with Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls winning another three titles before finishing his career with Buss's Lakers.

New Releases from Joyce DiDonato, Angela Hewitt and Wendy Warner
FREE Download: Joyce DiDonato singing "Ombra mai fu" from Xerxes
This week's featured albums include a crowd-sourced greatest-hits collection from mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, Fauré piano music from Angela Hewitt, and cello pieces by Haydn and Myslivecek, played by Wendy Warner.
Joyce DiDonato
Available on Arkivmusic.com
More like a pop singer-songwriter than an opera diva, Joyce DiDonato is known to maintain a dialogue with her fans through her blog and social media channels. For this greatest-hits collection, the mezzo-soprano invited fans to provide the cover photo (by Xenia Varelas), choose the title, and even suggest the individual tracks (drawn from 15 different recordings). The final result spans her 10 years on EMI/Virgin (now Erato) including some of her career-making arias ("Una voce poco fa" from Barber of Seville, "Voi che sapete" from Marriage of Figaro); a handful of duets (including "Who will walk with me?" with Frederica von Stade from Heggie's Dead Man Walking); and some previously unreleased numbers (notably, "Umbra mai fu" from Handel's Serse). She also sings "Somewhere over the Rainbow," recently reprised during the Last Night of the Proms.
Haydn & Myslivecek
Wendy Warner, cello
Camerata Chicago
Drostan Hall, conductor
Available on Arkivmusic.com
Josef Myslivecek is sometimes seen as the missing link between Haydn and Mozart – an influence on the latter composer who also drew on the innovations of the former. Chicago cellist Wendy Warner and the Camerata Chicago take up Myslivecek's Cello Concerto in C major, composed in the late 1770s and featuring highly syncopated fast movements and an unusually chromatic slow movement (the piece is an arrangement of a prior violin concerto). Using an 18th century cello and a 19th century bow, Warner applies a full, robust sound to all three of these well-mannered but stimulating works.
Faure Piano Music
Angela Hewitt, piano
Available on Arkivmusic.com
"For a long time I have wanted to record my favorite solo piano works by Gabriel Faure," writes Canadian pianist Angela Hewitt in the booklet to this collection. The pianist, who is best known for her Bach, adds that "all of the works on this album I learned by my mid-twenties, and most of them much earlier. They are old friends." The set includes the Theme et variations Op. 73, Faure's longest and certainly one of his greatest solo piano pieces. Three Nocturnes come from different periods in the composer's life: his youth, maturity and old age – from the No. 5 in B-flat with its turbulent middle section, to the ecstatic No. 6 in D-flat, to the death-haunted No. 13 in B minor. The sprightly Valse-caprices Nos. 1 and 2 and the youthful Ballade pour piano seul round out the collection.

With the Iron Lady, now as ever, there are no two ways about it. You simply have to see the Margaret Thatcher biopic when it hits the big screen in January. More than that, you must drag along your children if, as with our pubescent boy, the name of Thatcher is but the faintest echo on the breeze of recent history.
We have tried to give him a flavour, but no one under 40 can appreciate the magnitude of her dominion over us between and beyond the years 1979-1990. If Meryl Streep comes close to doing that, there will no prizes for guessing which two words will follow "And the Oscar goes to..." in March.
It is a mark of Lady Thatcher's undying epicity that her genius for igniting contention and polarising her former subjects endures even now. Some eight weeks before its release date, her supporters, upset that the film touches on her dementia, are lining up to knock it down.
"I can't be bothered to sensationalise this rubbish," harrumphs Tim Bell, the advertising man she sponsored when – as befits someone who has never denied claims of cocaine use in his past, and who had a conviction for a spot of solo delicto in plain sight of au pair girls passing his Hampstead Heath home – he took his place in the House of Lords. "It is a non-event."
His lordship's delicately nuanced critique comes from a standpoint of absolute ignorance. Those who have seen the film suggest that it is not "a left-wing fantasy", as other unnamed Thatcher friends and relatives are quoted as saying, but well balanced and far from unsympathetic. But if the Thatcherophile right judges it a vicious hatchet job, and the Thatcherophobic left as a slavish panegyric, this will do her, if not it, some justice. "One of us or against us" was always the motto, beneath the handbag rampant and the sunken Belgrano impaled, on her heraldic crest.
Whatever the dramatic merits of Streep's performance, Phyllida Lloyd's direction of The Iron Lady and Abi Morgan's script, the film's timing has a resonance that transcends conventional critical criteria. The oddity, in an age when the process of revisionism runs virtually concurrently with the history itself, is that it took so long. Although there have been many plays, including Ian Curteis's admiring The Falklands Conflict, in which Patricia Hodge played Thatcher as sexy and sardonic, this is the first motion picture.
By way of some weirdly inverted temporal paradox, Mr Tony Blair has already starred in several. He may have been PM for almost as long as her, but you'd have to be barmy to regard him as a historic figure in anything like her league. Our son, three weeks old when he came to power, was 10 when he left, and Blair meant very little to him.
Thatcher on the other hand... Suffice it to record that in May 1989, to mark her decade as PM, a colleague and I tried to illustrate her impact by taking two children born the day she came to power to Downing Street. Frankie belonged to a family rendered horribly deprived under her rule, all of them living with perpetual bronchitis in a damp-ridden home on a tragically decayed Sunderland council estate. Gemma's family in the Thatcherian stronghold of Essex, from a similar 1979 financial starting point as Frankie's, had risen to join the gold-card, two-car classes, and could afford a pony for their little girl.
It pays testament to what Mrs Thatcher meant to 10-year-olds, from north and south, east and west, back then that at the first distant click of court shoes from within that deep house, blood gushed from Gemma's nose and Frankie rushed to the loo to throw up. The tiny sparrowhawk of a woman who eventually joined us petrified me, too. I don't recall admiring the lips as Monroe-esque, but by Christ the eyes were Caliguloid.
Twenty-two years later, what makes this film so poignantly timed isn't merely the renaissance of Europe as the hottest of political potatoes, or how some will regard the financial cataclysm, in part at least, as the blossoming of the tree she planted by liberating the City with her Big Bang. It is the contrast between Thatcher's metaphorical size and that of her impersonators.
Blair, who wanted to be her, was no more than a parody... a ghostly opportunist forced, by his Iraqi adventure, to pose as a reverse gear-free conviction politician in her mould. Cameron, who longingly hankers after Blair's electoral magic, looks like a pastiche of a pastiche. At a grand historic moment that screams out for genuine titans, we look from London to the other capitals around the world and see ersatz midgets.
Since Andrew Marr observed this in his masterly potted history of post-war Britain, it has become a cliché. But it's true that we are, all of us, Thatcher's Children now... even our own children born long after she weepily left No 10. They need to see this film. With all due disrespect to Tim Bell, there really is no alternative.

Apple's iPad mini is almost certainly set to be announced next week at an event in San Jose next Tuesday October 23rd, and we're now hearing that it will ship a week and a half after that unveiling. November 2 is the ship date we've heard today from a source close to Apple's supply chain, echoing an earlier report by Geeky Gadgets.
Geeky Gadgets is claiming November 2 is when the 7.85-inch device will hit stores and ship to customers who pre-ordered.
"Our source, who is someone close to a major UK retailer, and has been reliable in the past, has told us that Apple will start selling the new iPad Mini on Friday the 2nd of November, the device will be available in the US And UK on this date, possibly some other countries as well."
That would mean just a week and a half passing, if released on Nov. 2, after the announcement. Since it is close to the holiday season, a quick release may make sense.
Have you entered our iPad Mini Giveaway? We're busy working on the new iPad Mini Screen Shield and we wanted to give you a chance to win one before you can even buy one!

Dear Corporate Governess
My boss wants us all on Twitter, but frankly I find it a waste of my time. What am I missing here? –Marie L., Winnipeg
Dear Marie
A lot. According to research by the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, 77 per cent of the Fortune 500 have active Twitter accounts, an increase of 4 per cent from last year. Plus, eight of the top 10 are avid tweeters, including Walmart, Apple and Ford Motor Co. Maybe you're overwhelmed by the Twitterverse–the social media site has 550 million active registered users sending out 9,100 tweets per second–but if that's the case, just follow the accounts you're interested in and engage when you're ready. Social media guru Jen Evans, CEO of SqueezeCMM in Toronto, a content marketing measurement platform, suggests curating liberally to make the Twitter experience your own, including "unfollowing" accounts that disappoint you (@justinbieber). And don't feel that you need to see every tweet. "Twitter is a river," says Evans. "You dip in and out versus trying to stay on top of everything." Evans recommends Twitter for spotting early trends and sharing links to interesting professional content such as blog posts.
With platforms like Hootsuite and Tweetdeck, you can run a search on topics or hashtags related to your industry. Build up your following by becoming known for expertise in a certain niche so that others can decide whether to follow you. But don't feel like you need to post every hour. One tweet a day is more than enough for beginners.
It's also important to ensure your audience is active on Twitter. Evans suggests running a test by sharing links on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, to see where your content gets the most shares, clicks and conversions.
Dear Corporate Governess
The family firm I work for just promoted a nephew into my department. The kid already outranks me with his MBA, and now they want me to mentor him. Should I be worried? –Alec L., Toronto
Dear Alec
Possibly. But don't get out your inhalers just yet. Chances are they just want to ensure that your knowledge and experience get passed on to the next generation–a smart strategy for any company. It doesn't necessarily mean the nephew is out to usurp you. More likely the kid is being primed to take over one day, so look at it as an opportunity to help mould that future leader. Plus, refusing to mentor him will make you look churlish at best–plus a trifle insecure.
If you accept, do it because you're genuinely willing to share your wisdom and insights. Anything less dooms you to failure, according to Gerard Seijts, an Ivey professor of organizational behaviour at Western University in London, Ontario. "Mentoring should be voluntary," says Seijts. "You can create the conditions for it to happen, but you cannot force mentorship. If people feel that they have to, it's not going to work."
So your challenge will be to establish a genuine relationship with the very nephew you'd prefer to go hiking in the Himalayas indefinitely. If you can keep it real, he may turn out to be the very glue that bonds you to the firm.Report Typo/Error

"When my husband requested a "quick" dinner I turned to this favorite of ours. I used instant brown rice instead of white, just as tasty. It takes more liquid and slightly longer cook time with the brown rice. My mother-in-law substituted green beans in place of the mushrooms and that was equally as good. Great dish for "2" people!"

When Bacon Unwrapped posted this video a few months ago I thought, "Oh hey, I need to watch thatâ€, but somehow I forgot about it till just now. The video is titled "Makin' Bacon†and it's about two bros cooking bacon and being insensitive to their roommate's dietary restriction. I am sure we have all been there before.
Directed by Mike Robertson & Arlen Konopaki | Written by Arlen Konopaki, Mike Robertson & Joe Vanderhelm | Starring Jamie Cavanagh, Arlen Konopaki and Joe Vanderhelm.
The video did make me laugh and I honestly didn't expect what happened in the video. I don't want to spoil it for you so just watch it and let us know what you think about it. I really think it's the best bacon comedy short so for in 2010. The year is still young, but this one could be a tough one to beat.
