So, my mom had been hearing a lot of good things about the gentle leader head collar. I have been super distracted since the snow melted and I don't feel like listening to my mom when we go for walks. I think she's getting frustrated with me because I'm usually a lot better behaved.
Last night my mom decided to try the gentle leader. OMG, she said that it was super expensive, like $35 for a few nylon straps!!! My mom fitted it to my head and I thought it felt strange at first but I am getting used to it.
When we went for a walk last night my mom wouldn't stop giving me treats and she said I walk like a little angel now! She said it's incredible!! On our walk she even tried a no-hands (leash just drooped over her shoulder) loose-leash and I did so well!!!! I feel so much better now that my mom isn't getting peeved anymore.
My mom says you should try it too!!
Well, this is the second course that my mom has enrolled me in. I already completed Family Dog and now I have done my second class in Step Ahead. We have learned stand for exmination, stand-stay, distance down, and we are working on an 'around' finish. My mom says that I pick up everything super quickly....except my loose leash heeling....she says that I don't pay attention and I just try to eat crumbs off the ground instead. I can't help it!
I think mom is gonna try a gentle leader to help me focus.

text: Temper TantrumsWhat are temper tantrums?Temper tantrums are a way a young child lets out strong emotions before he or she is able to express them in socially acceptable ways. Although a child may seem totally out of control, these fits of rage, stomping, screaming, and throwing himself or herself to the floor are a normal part of childhood development. Temper tantrums often happen only with a parent. They are a way a child communicates his or her feelings. Parents can learn from their child by understanding the situation that caused the temper tantrum to erupt.Temper tantrums often begin at about 1 year of age and continue until age 2 to 3. They begin to diminish as a child becomes more able to communicate his or her wants and needs.What causes temper tantrums?As a young child learns more and becomes more independent, he or she wants to do more than he or she can physically and emotionally manage. This is frustrating to the child and the frustrations are expressed in a variety of ways. Temper tantrums are worse and happen more often when a child is hungry, tired, or sick. Some reasons children have temper tantrums include the following:Want to be on their own, and get upset when they can't do what they wantAre in a transition (such as from day care to home)Are trying to get attention to test the rulesHave something taken away from themHave not learned all the words to tell you what they are feeling or want and this upsets themDo not understand what you want them to doAre tired or hungryAre worried or upsetFeel stress in the homeHow to prevent temper tantrumsAlthough temper tantrums sometimes happen without warning, parents can often tell when a child is becoming upset. Knowing the situations when your child is more likely to have a tantrum and thinking ahead may help. An example is not letting your child become overtired or hungry. Some suggestions for preventing or minimizing temper tantrums include the following:Stick to routines for meals and sleep times. Avoid long outings, delayed meals, and naps.Distract your child with a toy he or she is allowed to have.Be reasonable about what to expect from your child, and do not expect your child to be perfect.Help your child to avoid frustration. Prepare your child for changes or events by talking about them before they happen.Let your child know your rules and stick to them.How to respond during a temper tantrumThe following are helpful hints regarding the most appropriate ways to respond during your child's temper tantrum:Stay calm.Ignore the child until he or she is calmer. Keep doing whatever you were doing before the tantrum happens.Do not hit or spank your child.Do not give in to the tantrum. When parents give in, children learn to use inappropriate behavior to get their way.Do not bribe your child to stop the tantrum. The child then learns to act inappropriately to get a reward.Remove potentially dangerous objects from your child or your child's path.Use time-out for a short period to allow the child to get back in control.What else should parents know about temper tantrums?Temper tantrums generally happen less often as children get older. Children should play and act normally between tantrums. However, talk with your child's healthcare provider if any of the following happen:Temper tantrums are severe, last long, or happen very often.Your child has a lot of trouble talking and cannot let you know what he or she needs.Temper tantrums continue or get worse after 3 to 4 years of age.Your child has signs of illness along with temper tantrums or holds his or her breath to cause fainting.Your child harms himself or herself or others during tantrums.

2nd AutoCross - 2nd place
Ran yesterday, Sunday May 16th.
Raining like heck all day![mad] (believe me, this is not normal for us)
I ended up 2nd OVERALL out of 30+ cars.
Best time of day was an Audi TT at 1:46.2.
Mine was a 1:46.3. I got beat by 1/10 of a second!!![?|]
Good ole Suby Wagon, with a WRX engine had fast time, till the Audi and I put him to rest.
I left the TC on, and let it "do it's stuff".
Boy did it STICK.
Point it, hit the gas, and GO!
This was my first trip to our local track.
It's a testing area for the Highway Patrol, and the City Police.
Banked turns, elevation changes, just TOO cool!
It's about as close as I'll ever get to real road racing at this point in time.
It was SO much fun spanking the Vettes, Camaros, and Stangs.
Their power was no help at all yesterday.
I had a little "off" on my best run. [ohcrap]
Dropped the RR off the pavement, but it popped me right back in line once it hit.
All I could think of was, "my wheels...oh no"!
Fortunately, I only had to dig a couple weeds out of the rim and I was good to go.[:D]
The wife was also along on that run.....
"Nice recovery, babe." "Well, thank you!"
Looks like I need another helmet now.
We may become a 2 driver team. [:D]
On a side note....
I don't know how Continental did it, but these tires are quite "grippy" in the rain.
I was very surprised, considering there's virtually no siping.
Awesome! Good job!
That's great! Show up all the motor heads with the little focus
We had a cross here in utah yesterday but alas I couldn`t go..Great job and[drinking] cheers.
hey wd40...
is you car only for autocross ??
is you car only for autocross ??
Nope. DD to get back and forth to work.
My Bronco was killing me in gas.
Since the wife suggested getting a new car,
I naturally veered towards something I could AutoCross.
And, since I wear "blue ovals" on my underwear, I immediately had to check out the SVTF.[;)]
Something I didn't mention earlier, because I was afraid my head wouldn't fit in my helmet anymore.
There were a couple conversations I walked up on, just folks talking about the runs and various cars and such.
Both times, someone was talking about the "shocker" of the event.
Some guy in a blue Focus was wicked quick![:D]
They couldn't believe how fast the car was.
So, I just stepped in with my most humble voice, and said, "oh, that'd be me".[:D]
They also couldn't believe I just drove it off the showroom floor 2,100 miles ago.
"No way!" "That's all stock?!" "You're kidding me?!" "Really? A Focus?!"
Believe me, if it was dry, I'm certain there would have been a different outcome.
It just happened that the conditions were perfect for my car and driving style I guess.
The guys in the Vettes were really PO'd![:D]
Good job WD40!
REALLY GREAT JOB! show everyone wat the SVT can do lol. [thumb] [driving]
2nd. place is not bad at all!!! Great job!!!
1 Attachment(s)
Thanks everyone!
Hey, somebody sent me a pic.
Not the most exciting, but at least you can see how wet it was.
Thank God I walked the course before we ran, or I would have been lost.[eek]
You can see further in the background where the road-course portion was.
This pic was taken just after I entered the main open area.

The Hemingwrite is a distraction-free writing tool. It combines the simplicity of a typewriter with all of the modern conveniences of living in 2014: cloud documents, e-paper display, and full-size mechanical keyboard.
Laptops and iPads are multi-purpose devices loaded with games, social media, work email, funny cat videos, and those birthday photos you still need to edit. Like many of you, when we tried to get down to writing, we quickly found ourselves down a YouTube rabbit hole which we rationalized to ourselves as research. Sound familiar? Don't worry, you are not alone!
As our computers and phones get more powerful, we become less productive.
This is why we built the Hemingwrite, a single-function alternative.
The Hemingwrite combines the best features of all previous writing tools with the addition of modern technology. It is dedicated like a typewriter, has a better keyboard and battery life than your computer and is distraction free like a word processor. Finally, we sync your documents to the cloud in real-time so you never have to worry about saving, syncing or backing up your work.
Turn off your phone and laptop, grab your Hemingwrite, and find your typing space.
Professional quality hardware
We think a dedicated tool should be as durable as it can be! For this reason, we chose to use only the best components for our first product. The Hemingwrite is rugged enough to join you wherever you find your muse -- on the road, at the cabin, or at the pub.
It features a daylight readable, high contrast electronic paper screen for writing indoors, outdoors, in the daytime or at night. (Good luck trying to write on the beach with a high-gloss LCD!)
The Hemingwrite features a 4+ week battery life with typical usage. Can your laptop do that?
We have included the highest quality mechanical keyboard switches for the happiest fingers – remember those old keyboards with great tactile feedback? This is like that but better.
It is all wrapped in a beautiful, lightweight aluminum housing with built-in handle.
All of the above text and media is from the Hemingwrite Kickstarter page. Check it out and pledge your support! (I am not affiliated with Hemingwrite in anyway. I just really, really want one. Preferably in turquoise:)

Out in the Ether?Rob Hof
First flagged by TechCrunch, Ether has just launched as a sort of eBay for services. You can sign up, get an Internet phone number, and start offering your expertise over the Net.
If this sounds familiar, it should. Keen.com, the precursor to Ingenio, which is the company launching Ether, tried the same basic idea in the late 1990s--and it devolved into an Internet psychic line. After that, the company morphed into Ingenio, which offers pay-per-call services. Except at Keen, you can click a link for "professional services" and get what looks like yet another service that looks similar to Ether, provided by ... Ingenio. Yikes. Are you confused too?
Although I can see the potential value in an easy way for people to offer (and find) expertise with a simple phone call, I'm not sure that somewhat slicker technology will overcome the basic obstacles: Why would I want to pay in advance to talk to someone or get content from them if I don't know who they are? And under what circumstances will I want this over the phone?
Apologies to Ingenio/Ether if I'm missing something before having talked to them about it. Mitch Ratcliffe offers some interesting possibilities for it, and so do Robert Scoble and Pete Cashmore. Ether's blog also explains that Ether is much more distributed than Ingenio's related services, potentially contained right inside blogs and other Web sites. Maybe that's the key to the reputation problem. But I don't know if this will end up being the killer Web app for services that has so far eluded so many.

Review of influenza A virus in swine worldwide: a call for increased surveillance and research. Zoonoses and Public Health. 61(1):4-17. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Surveillance for influenza A viruses (IAV) circulating in pigs and other non-human mammals has been chronically underfunded and virtually nonexistent in many areas of the world. This deficit continues in spite of our knowledge that influenza is a disease shared between humans and pigs since at least the 1918 Spanish Flu Pandemic. In March-April 2009, a novel pandemic H1N1 emerged in the human population in North America and demonstrated in a public forum the paucity of data on influenza viruses in swine. Scrutiny regarding this surveillance gap continues. The gene constellation of the emerging virus was demonstrated to consist of a combination of genes from IAV of North American and Eurasian swine-lineages that had never before been identified in swine or other species. The emergent H1N1 quickly spread in the human population and the outbreak reached pandemic phase 6 as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) on June 11, 2009. Although the eight gene segments of the novel virus are similar to available sequences of corresponding genes from swine IAV from North America and Eurasia, no closely related ancestral IAV with this gene combination had been previously identified in North America or elsewhere in the world. Although there have been approximately 100 reported events of sporadic transmission of swine adapted IAV to humans since the Spanish flu pandemic, swine IAV of the H1N1 subtype have been historically distinct from avian and other mammalian H1N1 influenza viruses in qualities such as serologic cross-reactivity, nucleotide sequence and/or host specificity. (The exception to this tendency for host specificity of the swine IAV is the susceptibility of domestic turkeys to the triple reassortant viruses of North American swine. The emergence of the 2009 pandemic H1N1 (H1N1pdm09) virus brought a heightened global, cross-sector awareness to the evolution and epidemiology of influenza A viruses in swine and presents a new era of challenges and opportunities for monitoring, understanding and controlling influenza in pigs. Unfortunately, these opportunities have yet to be significantly realized, and a better understanding of the ecology and evolution of IAV in swine does not yet exist, despite the passage of 3 years and investment of resources.

An interesting (I hope) comparison today - I show two watches from the same city, yet from different makers - an American Waltham vs United States Waltham. Both 18 size, but foolishly I picked a... pendant set American Waltham, which either might make this post quite pointless, or even more interesting... I'll just see how it goes as I write...
This watch:
...is a 15 jewel mid-grade
And hello again
The last Elgin small (12s and around) pocket watch I've shown was the Hulburd...
I've brought it back to mention, that apart from it's low thickness and it's high quality, with it's overall design it was probably way ahead of it's times as well.
Anyway, if you cross the genes of Hulburd with this other slim 12s...
This short post is about a watch I've been trying to restore since 2015.
Here you can see it with the non original Elgin balance I made for it.
The original balance was not there when I got this movement, and it's too nice to use for parts.
In fact, damaged and somewhat polished,
'The Forgotten masterpiece' was a title of my entry on Elgin 761 self-winding movement.
This was before I started my blog, and it can still be found somewhere in wristwatches forum, and my today's purpose is not to re-post the same work.
No, today's post I write because I got myself another one.
Big deal - another lousy 761 - you'd think. Well - yes, not a big deal, but it's not exactly easy to get one of those in Europe. And in USA good ones have quite high prices, and

OT: Going to Prague
Hello, I am going to Prague February 19th -25th and as I understand the KHL and Extraliga seasons are over. I have a few questions; One, when do the KHL/Extraliga playoffs start? Two, if the playoffs have started, how much are tickets? Three, can you buy tickets before the game or is it better to buy in advance (risk of a sellout)? If anyone can help I would appreciate it.
Extraliga season ends on 26th.
KHL, play-off schedule in ENG here
If Lev Prague makes play off, they will play on 24th, 25th in Prague.
If Lev Prague does not make play off, they will participate at play-out. Schedule is not revealed.
Dont know about tickets, not revealed yet, I dont think it will differ from regular season (cca 10-20 USD).
Nobody knows where Lev Prague will play play-off - O2 arena is an option, club played regular season in Tipsport. I dont expect sell-outs. IMO you will buy a ticket a few hours before game, but you will not get the best seats :)
It is known now that Lev will play play-off in Tipsport
19.2. 18:30 Sparta Praha - Vitkovice
24.2. 18:10 Slavia Praha - Zlin
if you want to travel a bit:
22.2. 17:30 Kladno - Plzen
I will also be in Prague. Arriving morning of 16th, leaving morning of 23rd. Already bought tickets to a Sparta game. We went to see Slavia last time.
I am staying right near the touristy-square in Prague. Does anyone know of any bars that stay open late enough and show NHL games? Interested primarily in the Rangers-Caps game on the 17th. 6pm start in NY, so I guess a midnight start in Prague? Rangers-Canadiens on 19th and Rangers-Senators on 21st.
Thanks for the help I saw the Sparta vs Vitkovice game. I will post photos when I come home.
At first I didn't know who to support, but Vitkovice started doing the "Ole" chant (stupid habs), it was over I was firmly supporting Sparta Praha.
Sparta wins 4-2 and they shake hands at the end of the game.

Tutorials - Big bits of code to help you do more
Paginating a filtered DataObjectSetTweet
25 October 2010 | | | Supports v2.4
If you have ever tried to paginate a DataObjectSet that has been customised since fetching it from the database you will have descovered that it simply doesn't work. This short tutorial provides some great code to resolve this problem and paginate to your hearts content!
The problem
In its standard implementation DataObjectSet does not allow pagination of a set that has been filtered after the set has been fetched from the database.So if you have a function called getNewsArticles() in your model that looks like this´
function getNewsArticles() {
$newsArticles = DataObject::get("NewsArticle");
$doSet = new DataObjectSet();
foreach ($newsArticles as $newsArticle) {
if ($newsArticle->canView()) {
return $doSet;
Then you can't paginate it using DataObjectSets built in pagination controls. The built in controls make the assumption that the set that's being paginated is the set that has been fetched from the database and that the SQL LIMIT clause is the basis for the page size. When you filter a set after fetching it from the database then using the LIMIT clause won't work because we don't know how many records we'll end up with after filtering.
The solution
In order to make filtered pagination work we will decorate DataObjectSet with our own pagination method. When you decorate a class all instantiated objects of that class will have this method available for use. The decorated method will slice out the records we need for the current page. The decorator looks like this
class DataObjectSetExtension extends Extension {
public function Pagination() {
$pageLimits = $this->owner->getPageLimits();
$items = $this->owner->toArray();
$items = array_slice($items, $pageLimits["pageStart"], $pageLimits["pageLength"]);
return new DataObjectSet($items);
What the code does is fetch the records as an array from the owner class (in this case DataObjectSet) and then slice out the records it needs based on the pageLimits set on the DataObjectSet.
In order to make the method available on all our DataObjectSets the following line needs to be put in _config.php
Object::add_extension('DataObjectSet', 'DataObjectSetExtension');
After flushing your site the method will now be available on all DataObjectSets. In order to get the getNewsArticles() function to work with our pagination it nees to be modified. The modified function looks like this
function getNewsArticles() {
if(!isset($_GET['start']) || !is_numeric($_GET['start']) || (int)$_GET['start'] < 1) $_GET['start'] = 0;
$SQL_start = (int)$_GET['start'];
$newsArticles = DataObject::get("NewsArticle");
$doSet = new DataObjectSet();
foreach ($newsArticles as $newsArticle) {
if ($newsArticle->canView()) {
$doSet->setPageLimits($SQL_start, 30, $doSet->Count());
return $doSet;
As you can see, some things have changed. First of all, we're checking for a GET variable called start. This is the standard pagination variable for DataObjectSet but you can change it if you want with DataObjectSet->setPaginationGetVar($var).
The fetching and filtering is done exactly as before but before returning the set we need to explicitly set the page limits with the setPageLimits() function. If setPageLimits() is not set then the Pagination method won't know what values to use. In this case I have set the start value to the GET variable, page size to 30 and the total size to the number of records in the set after the filtering has been done.
When displaying the news articles in the template we loop over the Pagination method of the DataObjectSet instead of just looping over the getNewsArticles() function like we normally do. Note that you only use the Pagination method for printing the actual results, not for creating the pagination controls. The code below is mostly taken from the SilverStripe pagination tutorial that can be found here.
<% control NewsArticles.Pagination %>

As you can see in the snippet above we still use the regular set for the pagination controls but we use the Pagination method for actually displaying the records.
So to recap
- Put the DataObjectSetExtension.php in your code folder
- Add the line Object::add_extension('DataObjectSet', 'DataObjectSetExtension') to _config.php and flush your site
- Fetch the data, filter it and set the page limits
- Use the Pagination method to show your stuff
That's all, happy coding!

Hi Marcus,
Nice tut and really useful.
However, I can't help but notice that you will iterate over *every* DO returned despite the fact you might only really need 10 (to show). With a small set, this wouldn't be a massive issue; but if you wanted to paginate a set of thousands, this could be quite slow. Have you thought of a way to get around this problem?

You can take a look at Aram's custom search mod hidden in the forums.
Specially the part from r303 at $records = DB::query($fullQuery);
After the query the result will be pushed in a DO set as well, but its much smaller, since its not getting the full DataObjects.
That still does not prevent you checking canView on each DO though...

Yes, there is a very simple way to cache an output of a function. I use two methods, one is this in the init() of a controller:
$this->FuncName = $this->cacheToFile('FuncName',$lifetime,$ID,(array)$arguments);
The other is this:
function() FuncName() {
if (!isset($this->FuncName) {
$this->FuncName = some complicated fetching etc;
return $this->FuncName;
I might write a lil tut on caching in the contoller

Hi, my solution for pagination of custom DataObjectSets looks like this:
public function getChildPages() {
$kids = DataObject::get('ViewableObjectsHolder', "ParentID = '{$this->ID}'", 'Sort');
foreach ($kids as $kid) {
$kid->controller = ModelAsController::controller_for($kid);
return $kids;
public function getChildObjects($items_per_page = 10) {
$objects = new DataObjectSet();
$kids = $this->getChildPages();
foreach ($kids as $kid) {
$objects->merge($kid->controller->getObjects('', false));
if (empty($items_per_page) || $items_per_page < 1) $items_per_page = 10;
if(!isset($_GET['start']) || !is_numeric($_GET['start']) || (int)$_GET['start'] < 1) $_GET['start'] = 0;
$o = $objects->getRange((int)$_GET['start'], (int)$items_per_page);
$o->setPageLimits((int)$_GET['start'], (int)$items_per_page, $objects->Count());
return $o;
The important lines are the last ones of the 'getChildObjects' method.
Hope it helps...
05/12/2010 4:55am (7 years ago)
Sorry - just to clarify I'm doing things right:
- Manuel's code makes all your code obsolete
- you place it in a PageController (or equivalent)
- you can access different pages through the url with ?start= (is there a cleaner ss way of doing this?)
Am I right?
Cheers & thanks
05/12/2010 8:24pm (7 years ago)
Thanks Marcus!
That's very helpful. Nice tutorial writing too - it will be great if you get the go-ahead to revise it.

Thanks for this! Led me the way to the light!

Fox Turns To Coulter To Decry Inflammatory Rhetoric
Research ››› ››› MIKE BURNS
In Fox News' latest effort to demagogue James Hoffa's Labor Day speech urging supporters to vote out Republican members of Congress, Fox & Friends attempted to get Fox News contributor and right-wing pundit Ann Coulter to decry Hoffa for supposedly using inflammatory rhetoric. Coulter has previously fantasized about poisoning a Supreme Court justice, suggested that Bill Clinton should have been "impeach[ed] or assassinate[d]," and is currently hawking a book in which she paints her political opponents as "demonic."
Fox & Friends Tries To Get Coulter To Decry Hoffa's Supposed Inflammatory Rhetoric
Kilmeade Asks Coulter: "Would It Have Been That Hard For The President Just To Say ... 'I Can't Condone' " Hoffa's Rhetoric? From the September 7 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends:
BRIAN KILMEADE (co-host): The president again -- he had something happen that totally distracted his message. On Monday he wanted to give a little precursor to his big speech. But what ends up -- Jimmy Hoffa introduces him, introduces him or preceded him, and at which time he violates all that decorum that we thought we were going to instill in society last year that was urged on by our president. So Hoffa says, get those SOBs and the tea party and all these negativities --
STEVE DOOCY (co-host): Take 'em out.
KILMEADE: The president won't condemn it. And least Jay Carney through the -- says the president won't condemn it. Let's listen.
JAY CARNEY (White House press secretary) [video clip]: Mr. Hoffa speaks for himself. He speaks for the labor movement, AFL-CIO. The president speaks for himself. I speak for the president. You know, what the president was glad to do yesterday was have the opportunity to present his views on the importance of working Americans and on the importance of taking measures to help working Americans to create jobs and grow the economy.
KILMEADE: He was getting hammered by an ABC reporter. That, you know -- this was no --
DOOCY: Jake Tapper.
KILMEADE: -- conservative blogger.
COULTER: Right.
KILMEADE: So what do you think? Would it have been that hard for the president just to say, "I don't -- I can't condone this"?
COULTER: I'm glad you bring this up, because I think you're being ironic when you say we all expected rhetoric to change.
GRETCHEN CARLSON (co-host): But back to the actual message where he called out the tea party and sort of this rhetoric that the president said that everyone should lay off of after Gabby Giffords was shot. Do you find it ironic that the White House now does not have a response to that?
COULTER: No. No. Like I say, I think you are playing when you pretend to be shocked.
DOOCY: There is a double standard. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/7/11]
Unlike Hoffa, Coulter Has A History Of Violent Political Rhetoric
Coulter Was On Fox To Hawk Her Most Recent Book, Which Portrays Her Political Opponents As "Demonic." Coulter's most recent book, published in 2011, is Demonic: How the Liberal Mob is Endangering America. In the book, Coulter writes that "[t]he demon is a mob, and the mob is demonic," and later adds, "The Democratic Party is the party of the mob, irrespective of what the mob represents. Democrats activate mobs, depend on mobs, coddle mobs, publicize and celebrate mobs -- they are the mob." [Ann Coulter, Demonic, Crown Forum, 6/7/11, via Google Books]
Coulter Described The Kent State Massacre As "What You Do With A Mob." From the June 6 edition of Fox News' Hannity:
COULTER: Americans have always understood the danger of mobs. They are always dangerous, they are always demonic. Thus, the Shays' Rebellion, creating our constitution, the Boston Tea Party, not being so warm, feeling so warmly about that. You had during the Civil --
SEAN HANNITY (host): I like the Boston Tea Party though. Taxation without representation.
COULTER: Well, it was very peaceful. The only thing more peaceful than the original Boston Tea Party are today's tea parties. Where they leave the Mall cleaner than when they got there. Then during the Civil War, you had, again, Democrats in New York engaging in massive, horrible mobbings against blacks in New York -- lynchings, draggings by genitals. And Abraham Lincoln seized another Democrat mob -- they're always the Democrats -- sends the military a little detour up to New York, crushes the mob, goes back, wins the war, and then Abraham Lincoln carries New York in the next election. So we've had mob uprisings before, but we've always known you can't reason with a mob. I think conservatives, I think a lot of peaceable Americans have forgotten that. We did have something as close as this country got to the French Revolution in the 60s with the Weathermen and SDS and the bombings.
HANNITY: And you have some interesting stuff in here about our buddy Bill Ayers, which was pretty -- I'm not going to give it up because I want people to buy it. Alright --
COULTER: A small item but the point is Nixon came in, shut it down. There was the shooting at Kent State and gosh, I know, liberals don't like it and you look on Nexis and oh, the whole country was embarrassed. We'll I'm not embarrassed. That's what you do with a mob. They were monstrous at Kent State. It was being led by Bill Ayers. [Fox News, Hannity, 6/6/11, via Media Matters]
Coulter Compared Former Education Department Official Writing The Forward Of A Book To Polanski "Anally Raping A 13-Year-Old." From the October 1, 2009, edition of Fox News' Hannity:
HANNITY: Here's where this gets to be a big problem, Ann, because he even admitted in 2000 himself that this sophomore, who he said -- he said -- is 15 years old, came to him and said that he was having a relationship with an adult male. His advice was not to tell the authorities, because by definition by definition that would be, as The Washington Times said, statutory rape. His advice was to ask if he was wearing a condom.
COULTER: Right. I mean, I think that story to avoid the squid ink of the left claiming that this is an anti-homosexual thing -- tell the same story where it's a girl who's having sex with an adult man in a bathroom at a bus stop. I mean, that's the point here. And I liked your list at the beginning of all the problems Obama's had with the czars, and appointees, and cabinet nominees. But I have a slightly different list.
You have ACORN encouraging and counseling these two, well, actors as it turns out, how to avoid taxes, how to bring Salvadorian sex slaves into the country, underage girls. You have all of Hollywood and media elites defending Roman Polanski for anally raping a 13-year-old, and now you have this guy [then-Department of Education official Kevin Jennings] who's written the introduction to Queering Elementary Education. I mean, that is the issue here. And you mentioned Bill Ayers.
Can't you just let kids be kids? No, they want to sexualize kids. And forget the homosexual aspect of it, just sexualizing kids generally. And teaching them about how to come out or how to deal with homosexuality in kindergarten -- it's monstrous what they're doing. [Fox News, Hannity, 10/1/09, via Media Matters]
Coulter: "Zeke Emanuel Is On My Death List." From the August 12, 2009, edition of Fox News' Hannity:
COULTER: By the way, totally ironically, Zeke Emanuel is on my death list. Hold the applause. I'm going to be on the death panel, then I'm in favor of them.
HANNITY: In other words, you get to pick who dies.
COULTER: Right. I have a list. Should I start with the As? [Fox News, Hannity, 8/12/09, via Media Matters]
Coulter On Former Sen. Lincoln Chafee: "They Shot The Wrong Lincoln." Coulter titled her August 30, 2006, syndicated column on the Rhode Island Senate race: "They Shot the Wrong Lincoln." The headline was a reference to then-Sen. Lincoln Chafee (R-RI), whom she excoriated throughout the piece while expressing her support for his challenger in the September 12, 2006, Republican primary, Stephen Laffey. [Human Events, 8/30/06]
Coulter Suggested NY Times Staff Members Should Be "Executed." After radio host Melanie Morgan asserted that if then-New York Times executive editor Bill Keller were convicted of treason for publishing leaked information she "would have no problem with him being sent to the gas chamber," Coulter wrote in her July 12, 2006, column: "I prefer a firing squad, but I'm open to a debate on the method of execution." That same day, during an appearance on the radio, Coulter again suggested that New York Times staff members should be "executed." [Media Matters, 7/13/06, 7/14/06]
Coulter Fantasized About "Put[ting] Rat Poison In Justice Stevens's Créme Brulée." In a January 2006, appearance at Philander Smith College in Little Rock, Arkansas, Coulter said of then-Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens: "We need somebody to put rat poison in Justice Stevens's créme brulée." Coulter attempted to explain away her remark as "just a joke, for you in the media." [Associated Press, 1/27/06]
Coulter: Bill Clinton "Was A Very Good Rapist." From a January 3, 2005, New York Observer interview with Coulter:
[Gurley] What should we remember about Bill Clinton?
[Coulter] "Well, he was a very good rapist. I think that should not be forgotten." [New York Observer, 1/10/05, via Media Matters]
Coulter Said That Debate Over Clinton Should Have Been "Whether To Impeach Or Assassinate" Him. Coulter argued that the national debate during the Monica Lewinsky controversy should not have focused on whether Clinton "did it," but "whether to impeach or assassinate" him. The quotation appeared in Coulter's 1998 book High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case against Bill Clinton:
In this recurring nightmare of a presidency, we have a national debate about whether he "did it," even though all sentient people know he did. Otherwise there would be debates only about whether to impeach or assassinate. [Ann Coulter, High Crimes and Misdemeanors: The Case against Bill Clinton, Regnery, 1998, via Media Matters]
- Coulter Later Asserted That Her Suggestion Came In The Context Of A Description Of "The Entire History Of Impeachment, Which We Got From The British." On the August 31, 2006, edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes, Colmes challenged Coulter to distinguish her suggestion that the issue was "whether to assassinate or impeach" Clinton from the film Death of a President (Borough Films), which dramatically portrays the assassination of President Bush. Colmes asked: "I guess it's OK to joke about assassinating a president, but it's not OK to represent it in a dramatic presentation, right?" In response, Coulter asserted that her suggestion came in the context of a description of "the entire history of impeachment, which we got from the British. I explained how we changed it here in America. In Britain ... one of the punishments [for impeachment] was hanging." [Fox News, Hannity & Colmes, 8/31/06, via Media Matters]
Even During Her Appearance On Fox & Friends, Coulter's Rhetoric Was Too Extreme For Co-Host Carlson. During her appearance on Fox & Friends, Coulter attacked school teachers as "useless," a statement from which co-host Gretchen Carlson immediately disassociated herself:
COULTER: But what I really think needs to be attacked about this that no one is mentioning is: This is Jimmy Hoffa, president of the Teamsters. They used to be truck drivers, and pipe fitters. But now --
DOOCY: They've got a history.
COULTER: Now, he's representing public school teachers. What, kindergarten teachers? Cafeteria workers? Fighting for every last bit of their government pension? What a pathetic downfall.
DOOCY: Right.
COULTER: And moreover, how about a little of this tough talk back when the Teamsters supported drilling in ANWR. You know, real jobs for real men as opposed to kindergarten teachers. And how about --
KILMEADE: And they're not all fired up about --
COULTER: And how about fighting for nuclear power plants being installed? This should -- that is evidence of the decline of the nation that he's not even representing men who have actual jobs.
DOOCY: Good point.
COULTER: He's representing useless public sector workers.
KILMEADE: Who doesn't want the free trade agreements passed, who's not thrilled about a potential amnesty for illegal immigrants.
COULTER: Who wanted ANWR. We all want ANWR. We want gas prices and --
CARLSON: Well, OK. I don't --
COULTER: They want hundreds of thousands of jobs or at least they used to. That's the old Teamsters.
CARLSON: I don't know if we can call kindergarten teachers useless, though. I don't want to say that.
COULTER: I don't think they need to be government workers with fully paid [unintelligible].
CARLSON: OK. But I don't want to say that teachers are useless.
COULTER: No, I will. They are government workers. Let's turn it over to private, to vouchers, to charter schools. No, they fight for every last dime. They get summers off. They're off at two. And they make more money than most of those pipe fitters who no longer have jobs.
CARLSON: But back to the actual message where he called out the tea party. [Fox News, Fox & Friends, 9/7/11]

Blue Hens' Game Today Against Delaware St. Postponed Until Thursday
Related Links
The Blue Hens (20-21) and Hornets (24-13) were originally scheduled to play at Delaware St. on March 5, but the game was also postponed because of inclement weather.
Delaware is coming off a 9-3 loss to Wilmington (Del.), while Delaware St. defeated Norfolk St. 16-8 in its last game.
This will be the 48th meeting between the two in-state rivals. Their first matchup was in 1993 and Delaware leads the all-time series against Delaware St. 37-10, but have lost three of the last four games to the Hornets.

Should teachers be techies in 21st Century schools?
Following a very interesting tweet on last week's #edchatie, a contributor said that teacher candidates with training in technology will bring education into 21st century. It was an interesting point that that got lost amongst the general chat about the strange nature of contracts and redeployment in our education system. Should teachers have training in technology? In my opinion, it depends on the question.
Should we be looking for teachers with technology skills or should we be looking for teachers with skills in using technology?
The images above for me are interesting. In one the teacher clearly has technological skills; that is, she can use the Interactive Whiteboard. In the other, we can't see the teacher. Perhaps she can't use it at all but is letting the children at it. Perhaps I'm casting aspersions on both classrooms! I don't think it really matters whether a teacher is trained in technology unless they are trained in using technology to help children learn.
When the government started supporting ICT in education back in 1997, they decided to roll out training for a set of enthusiastic population of teachers. Many of them had never used a computer before. Most of them had never used the Internet. Almost all of them had never used a computer to teach anything to a child. The government's training was given in two phases and teachers were taught how to do very basic things on a computer – the kinds of things anyone under 40 simply "knows" how to do. They were also taught word processing, spreadsheets and basic databases. This was the sort of training that was going on in most places at the time so it wasn't particularly unusual. However, a potential failure of this training was that the focus of the training was on the technological skills rather than pedagogy.
I feel the same mistake was made a few years ago during the boom of Interactive Whiteboards. At the time. the NCTE's stance on Interactive Whiteboards was that there was a preference for projectors, wireless mice and keyboards so they didn't offer training initially on them. The companies who were selling the boards offered training for teachers in how to use them. This training was given, in general, by salespeople, and again the focus was training on how to use the board rather than how to use the board to help children learn.
What skills are needed to be 21st century teachers? Are they technological skills or are they something different?
A teacher with technological skills may be able to amazing things on a computer. They may be able to create wonderful PowerPoint presentations with advanced animations, links and other things. They may be able to make a cool video and put it on YouTube. They might even be able to rip apart a computer and put it back together again. These teachers could probably build a programme to help children learn everything there is to know on the curriculum and test them to make sure they've got it through intelligent assessment.
All these skills are important and teachers should be learning how to do them, (except maybe the last two – we can leave that to the guy on the left!) However, there's no harm in a teacher understanding the basic concepts of digital media. Digital Literacy is highly important and teachers should possess a minimum amount of competence in using technology. While the amount of things that one can do on computer has increased hugely since 1997, it has become much easier to do them and most computer hardware and software is designed to be intuitive. If you are of a certain age, you might notice that manuals that come with computers and other digital devices are a lot smaller than the ones back in the mid-90s. I think this is because things are so much more intuitive. If you don't believe me, try playing with a Windows 3.1 computer and load up an MS-DOS program in it.
The skills in the above paragraph are digital literacy skills. Mags Amond from CESI posted an interesting article stating 33 digital skills needed by the 21st century learner. These are the kinds of things that teachers and students can and should be trained in.
However, in my opinion, how they are trained is more important. If a teacher cannot get the information across to children in a real way, in a meaningful way, or in a fun way, then no matter how technologically gifted anyone might be, the information isn't going to get across to the learner. I found this rather nifty diagram on Wikipedia, which shows the skills that we need to be giving children.
The middle column are the digital literacy skills I mentioned above. The left column show the way teachers now have to help children learn these skills. There is no good getting learners to practice digital literacy skills using 19th/20th century teaching methodologies. Scenes of children silently sitting in rows of seats with the teacher at the front of the room are of little value. Even the computer rooms set up in many schools in the mid-90s are limited if there's a teacher telling each student what to do every step of the way.
I would argue that a teacher must have the ability to give children the skills of communication, collaboration, creativity and problem solving before they can even start to give training in digital literacy. Therefore I believe that the best teachers in the 21st century are not necessarily those with technology training. I have seen some amazing teachers giving a platform for children as young as four to use technology to learn basic 21st century skills. Many of these teachers have never trained in the tools they are showing to the children but both the teacher and the children are given the power to collaborate and problem solve to find solutions and learn together.
Walk around any school and you'll instantly see the 21st century teachers. There are many out there. There are also many that are still sitting behind their desks or standing in front of their boards. No matter what technology is in the classroom there, they are working in a 19th/20th century mindset. I don't think giving them training in technology is the answer though. They need training in their methodologies. Once they've changed their mindset, it isn't a difficult transition to using 21st century tools in 21st century ways.

What a brilliant post. Technology is of course a great enabler, but it is also important to show the support and guidance that some teachers might need to help them on their way. Looking forward to more 21st century teachers joining the ranks!
Very interesting and informative post. 🙂 I gave to agree with you, it does not matter if you teachers this and that, they need to change their teaching perspective first in order to adopt with the latest trend. For me, there is nothing wrong in using the same old blackboard and chalk, what matters is the knowledge and experience that you can give your students everyday.

I think a lot of the feel has to do with the way the car was designed also. A friend of mine has a 3000gt sl and it feels fast from the passenger seat. But when we race, he has no chance against my car, and people dont think it feels fast until I let them drive it.
very nice! I really like that color. I am not really feeling either of the wheels though. The first set is much too plain, and I dont really like that spider spoke look of the second set, though the deep dish on them are pretty nice. I think a nice set of gunmetal wheels would look really nice. Does he have any interior pics?Originally Posted by Mabf355

Their interior is still in the works actually, so no pics other then the stock look. He does have an AWE tuning boost gauge and a TT short shifter. I love that gauge because it lights up blue like the rest of the gauges. He is adding the aluminum trim kit from the R32, the R32 wheel/shifter knob. He would love the Recaros from the 20thAE or GLI, but you lose heated seats and once you have them you tend to get spoiled! I will let you know of more pics once he finishes the interior as well as buys new rims. He is thinking about getting Champion Motor Sports RG5's which are designed for Porsches! He is gracious of the comments btw.Originally Posted by DTR rex

Andre Villas-Boas is a manager who took the wrong first step in English football, taking up the impossible job at Stamford Bridge and subsequently walking around with the apparent weight of failure following his short time at Chelsea.
But what can you say about the current Tottenham manager? Villas-Boas at Chelsea was the same manager we see today, but now he's been given an environment where he can show his worth. In fairness, we're very unlikely to see the true and lasting qualities of a manager who takes over the helm at Chelsea, such is the struggle to gain some form of control.
[post_link url="https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/tottenham-battling-for-early-deal,https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/why-his-loss-shouldnt-alter-tottenhams-transfer-plans,https://www.footballfancast.com/premiership/tottenham/villas-boas-believes-result-was-deserved" target="_blank" type="tower"]
And here's the thing: I don't believe we should take this season for what Villas-Boas is really worth, and that on its own should tell us how good he could be. This season at Tottenham has been described as a transition, and that's certainly the case for both the squad and the manager. The Portuguese continues to learn his trade, just as others in his age group will do despite past successes, and anything added on top – such as Champions League football, which is looking increasingly likely – will be seen as an incredible bonus.
So what do we take from Villas-Boas now? After what may have been described as a frustrating first few months, rather than difficult, this is finally looking like his team, even if it isn't quite the finished article. Unlike at Chelsea, it appears that the manager has everyone on side, working hard for the club as well as the man in the dugout.
The manager's handling of Brad Friedel and Hugo Lloris has been excellent; anyone who didn't believe the Frenchman would become Tottenham's No 1 at some stage this season was only kidding themselves. But what Villas-Boas has done is create a settled atmosphere, one where the older figure in goal knows his place but is treated with the respect and offered the dignified move to the bench he deserves. If Lloris had come in and been offered the starting role immediately, it would have been a backhand to the good work Friedel had done last season. As of now, Villas-Boas has two very good goalkeepers he can count on, rather than one in a positive frame of mind for what the future holds and the other feeling dejected.
There's something quiet and efficient about Spurs, too. Yes, they will receive praise for being in the top four and sustaining their charge on Champions League football, but they've done so in the background and behind the praise that has been shelled out to David Moyes' Everton and Steve Clarke's West Brom.
The results over Manchester United have been outstanding, notably because Spurs have offered a resilience and fight that few have put forward against Alex Ferguson's side this season. Yes, United have been challenged, but how many teams have been successful in taking points off them? The win at Old Trafford was incredible for Tottenham, and yet Villas-Boas had no time to rest on the glory of that win. Tottenham very much are becoming about the finish, rather than the personal glories along the way.
Football is now a young man's game, where much more energetic and hungry figures take up the positions in the dugout. It's a game which sees the old style of management thrown out the door and replaced with something a little more complex. Managers take notes, present spreadsheets, over examine an opponent they should beat regardless. Villas-Boas has brought greater attention to detail; he's not a manager who will wait around for problems to fix themselves. Even if changes aren't needed, he seems the type to make tweaks to things that do work until the whole picture is perfect.
The manager has taken what Daniel Levy has given him in terms of a squad and gone about making positive strides: more than anything, he's holding up his end of the bargain if top four was the target for this season. You really can't make guarantees in football, but Villas-Boas' management style suggests that his team are unlikely to crumble the way Harry Redknapp's did last season.
This Tottenham team still need further investment to launch themselves away from the rest of the pack chasing a top four spot and into a position where challenging for Champions League football becomes the minimum requirement. But as is always the case, that's down to the chairman.
It's still early days for Villas-Boas at Tottenham, but unlike names we've seen in the past, this vibrant manager with the winning mentality could be the real deal.

CARL KOLOGIE: Getting lost in golf
Anyone who enjoys the game of golf understands how entertaining it is to watch the professionals, especially if you are up close and personal.
That happened last weekend here at Lake Wales, Fla., where the women's Symetra Tour was held at the Lake Wales Country Club.
This was the sixth annual Florida's Natural Charity Classic.
Lake Wales is the home of Florida's Natural and there is a huge plant that is owned by the employees and produces the famous juice that is on grocery shelves everywhere.
I wasn't planning on going to the tournament, but we play the country club course on Thursdays and I was interested in seeing how far these talented young ladies could hit the ball.
Now remember, they are only a step away from the LPGA tour so they are very talented or wouldn't be there.
Former Saltsburg resident Jerry Clawson and Dwight "Arch" Brocious, of Dixonville, worked the three days of the event as statisticians keeping track of number of fairways, sandtraps and roughs that the young ladies hit.
So, on Sunday I decided to spend an hour or so watching the event.
It was amazing to me that although they were playing from the back tees, the girls had no trouble reaching the long par-5's in two shots, where it usually took me four from the front tees.
As it turned out, I got caught up in the action and never left until the event was over four hours later.
Oh, and the winner of the event was Yueer Cindy Feng, an 18-year-old from China who is living in Orlando, Fla.
She doesn't weigh 110 pounds soaking wet and on the par-5, 537-yard tenth hole, hit a driver and then a three wood to within 18 inches of the flag.
She made the eagle putt and that was the hold that led to her first place finish and the $18,750 first prize, but more importantly, a first-place finish that could catapult her to the regular LPGA Tour next year.
They sure know how to hit a golf ball.
o o o
Last week I spent Thursday and Friday in Sarasota visiting former Indiana residents Ron and Jean Zucchelli and their family.
Ron and Jean were both teachers and they started the Nationwide Cheerleader camps that proved to be a tremendous success.
Jean, a Saltsburg native, is a real estate agent and Ron, originally from Rural Valley, has retired from his financial planning business, which is now run by his son-in-law David Harper.
On Friday Ron and I had a rematch with Frank Cignetti and Ron Thomas, former Indiana University of Pennsylvania staffers, who whipped us good.
It was a good time as we play with a group of former coaches from the western Pennsylvania area.
o o o
Then Saturday and Sunday, two old friends from Beaver County, Sam Bechtel and Bill Swauger, journeyed from Cape Coral to Lake Wales and spent the weekend with us.
Bechtel is a former Gazette sports editor who also worked with the Beaver County Times and the Pittsburgh Press before returning to Indiana as executive editor.
Swauger is a retired public relations director at IUP.
Bechtel and his wife, Chris, are now permanent residents of Cape Coral.
Carl Kologie is a columnist for The Indiana Gazette.

A politician from the Swedish city of Landskona has decreed that only one wedding per month will be allowed at the local community center each month because them damn foreigners are trying to hold too many damn marriages. "We don't want to have too many," said Lars Svensson, "it's those who live in the city. There are quite a lot of Kurds and Palestinians who get married. There's something about having an oriental background; there can be between 400 or 500 guests." He claimed to have received complaints concerning noise and untidiness that is associated in the minds of native born Swedes with "immigrant weddings."
Habib Ramadani tried to hold a wedding reception for his son but was told by Svensson, "not for you, you all throw cake on the floor instead of in your mouths." I guess out of the mouths of jerks come such profound observations on the state of modern marriage. Isn't it wonderful how self righteous people like Svensson complain about divorce or the demands of gays to marry and devote their lives to preventing marriage?

Lots of TV, video and Web harms kids' health: study
By Will Dunham
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Spending a lot of time watching TV, playing video games and surfing the Web makes children more prone to a range of health problems including obesity and smoking, U.S. researchers said on Tuesday.
U.S. National Institutes of Health, Yale University and the California Pacific Medical Center experts analyzed 173 studies done since 1980 in one of the most comprehensive assessments to date on how exposure to media sources impacts the physical health of children and adolescents.
The studies, most conducted in the United States, largely focused on television, but some looked at video games, films, music, and computer and Internet use. Three quarters of them found that increased media viewing was associated with negative health outcomes.
The studies offered strong evidence that children who get more media exposure are more likely to become obese, start smoking and begin earlier sexual activity than those who spend less time in front of a screen, the researchers said.
Studies also indicated more media exposure also was linked to drug and alcohol use and poorer school performance, while the evidence was less clear about an association with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, they added.
"I think we were pretty surprised by how overwhelming the number of studies was that showed this negative health impact," NIH bioethicist Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, one of the researchers in the report released by the advocacy group Common Sense Media, said in a telephone interview.
"The fact that it was probably more a matter of quantity than actual content is also a concern. We have a media-saturated life right now in the 21st century. And reducing the number of hours of exposure is going to be a big issue."
Experts for decades have worried about the impact on young viewers of the violence and sexual content in some TV programs, movies and video games. Another issue is that kids are spending time sitting on a couch watching TV or playing computer games when they could be running around outside. Continued...

There are plenty of places on Woot where you can find helpful information. This is not one of those places. Every week we will be comparing 3 pairs of things that shouldn't be compared using this formula: Unrelated Thing X vs. Unrelated Thing Y in terms of Function Z. Facts will be misunderstood, overlooked, or changed for the sake of the argument. Enjoy.
1. Ghosts vs. Sulfur in terms of Blocking a Door
A real ghost will certainly keep people out of a room, but here's the problem: they need to go into the room at least once to see the ghost, get scared, and decide never to return. In that way, the ghost hasn't blocked the door; it's made people refrain from trying to use that door in the future. Unlike a ghost, sulfur has actual weight to it. You put enough sulfur up against the door, no one's going to be able to push through. Nor would anyone want to: after all, the smell of sulfur wafting out from under a door doesn't exactly scream, "c'mon in!"
2. Muffins vs. A Friendship Bracelet in terms of Getting Back into Rollerblading
You don't want to go rollerblading for the first time in a long time with a stomach full of muffins, because with all the swaying back and forth, the speed, and the physical exertion, it won't be long until those muffins reemerge. Instead, skip breakfast and put on a friendship bracelet. Why? Because if it's been a real long while since you've put on your inlines, you're not going to be looking too cool out there, so it's important that you remind yourself that you're not actually as lame as you feel and that you do have friends.
This week's Rebuttal of the Week goes to oft-rebuttler dukeofwulf, who offers these words of wisdom as to why torque is better than a cork for not looking like a dork:
You must apply torque to a corkscrew in order to remove the cork. So in a social occasion which requires you to uncork a wine bottle, the cork is threatening to make you look like a dork, and your torque prevents you from doing so.
Advantage: torque.
You, too, can be like dukeofwulf! Just argue with me in the comments, and I begrudgingly choose to admit you're right next time! (In 2 weeks.)
Photos: "Sulfur crystals" by flickr user, Shiny Things; "Best Friends Forever Bracelet" by flickr user, moiracrochetsplarn; "Downtown Buffalo Skyline from Lasalle Park" by flickr user, Rich-Mitchell. All used under a Creative Commons License.
In terms of Buffalo vs Buffalo, buffalo, buffalo, BUFFALO.
Advantage: BUFFALO.
I can't believe you got this one so wrong. The answer is obviously buffalo. I don't even feel the need to offer the counter argument, but if you want one, here it is: one has the Bills, the other was featured on a nickel.
Advantage: buffalo
In all honesty, I have to give credit for my win to my year of higher education as a physics major. Without it, I'd not understand the finer points of torque.
3. Buffalo vs. Buffalo in terms of Buffalo
I'll not argue your impeccable grammar. But your argument comes to no conclusion. Had your argument used the city on its own merits, you may have been correct, but instead it was used merely as an adjective. Is it the source of a thing that defines its qualities, or its very nature? I argue the latter.
Rebuttal to sulfur vs. a ghost
Looks pretty effective to me, even if it's not a "real" ghost.
Right answer, wrong conclusion:
Muffins vs. A Friendship Bracelet in terms of Getting Back into Rollerblading
Rollerblading can be dangerous. Let's face it, as a kid, I had my fair share of wipeouts. Where did I fall the most? My wrists of course. Can Muffins protect my wrists? Not unless I pad my entire body with them, which will tip off-balance while rollerblading. Not only that, the muffins will eventually go stale, making the padding like falling into once-delicious bits of gravel, ouch! In fact, a single wide friendship bracelet will be more than enough to keep my skin from shredding on the pavement, let alone 20 as the kids wear.
A Friendship Bracelet (or 13)
Edited, since muffins != sulfur.
One need only look at the buffalo nickel. One doesn't need a skyline to get a head. The buffalo is money.
According to the interweb, some buffalo have wings, tasty, cooked & sauce covered. There are restaurants entirely dedicated to the cooking and serving of such delicacies. Some are even located in Buffalo. Buffalo does not have wings, just buildings and roads. It would only require a small herd of winged buffalo, also known as a swarm, to overrun Buffalo. Advantage ... buffalo!

The two-hulled design allows sailors like Oracle Team USA's Shannon Falcone, pictured above, to reach new speed benchmarks. But they must also handle split-second decisions.
To facilitate faster and more accurate decision-making, hundreds of sensors distributed across the Oracle Team's catamarans feed information to an onboard server, which is enclosed in a waterproof enclosure. The server uses a single wireless access point to send data to devices that each crew member wears on his wrist. With Wi-Fi providing persistent transfers, the vessel needs no additional wires or other physical connections.
Team member Shannon Falcone said the personal devices have trimmed the number of crew members down to only 11, eliminating roles such as navigator in favor of a multi-tasking approach. "There's no one person interpreting the data anymore," Oracle Team USA IT head Asim Khan said in an interview with PCWorld.
Aldaz said the devices supply personalized and actionable information. "The sailors need information in real time," he said. "They need to know things like, 'I have a choice of maneuvers, [so] what could be the best at this time?'"
Some purists might question supplementing human judgment with computerized assistance, but the sailors still control the boat physically. Every crewmember is--with or without technology--a world-class sailor. Technology simply allows the sailors to push their bodies in new direction.
Though the sensor feedback and boat design enable faster sailing, they also limit sailors' margin for error. "There's gonna be some crash and burn," predicted Aldaz, echoing a San Francisco Chronicle article that forecast "carnage" during the races. He further remarked, "The really good teams have capsized. Team New Zealand is one of the top teams. They've capsized. We've capsized."
In addition to accelerating the catamarans, technology has also allowed sailors' missteps to be widely witnessed. Thanks to cell phone cameras, YouTube, and other forms of social media, spectators have become ad hoc documentarians since teams began training in the San Francisco Bay last summer.
