I heard on the radio the other day that Danny Elfman made the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. The name rang a bell, but I didn't get it until they said he was the lead singer of Oingo Boingo. After that, the first thought that endered my head was "The Danny's need to make a comback for just one day."
So what dou you say BJ? Shall we see the Dannys make an appearance?

Colorado State University researchers receive $2.2 million for efforts to improve water quality
Release Date: 01/30/2014
Contact Information: Richard Mylott, U.S. EPA, 303-312-6654; Dr. Mazdak Arabi, CLEAN Center Principal Investigator, 970-491-4639; Dr. Neil S. Grigg, CLEAN Center Director, 970-491-3369
Comprehensive effort to reduce nutrient pollution in waters
(Denver, Colo. – January 30, 2014) Today at the 14th National Conference and Global Forum on Science, Policy and the Environment in Washington, D.C., U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator Gina McCarthy announced a grant of $2.2 million to the Center for Comprehensive, OptimaL and Effective Abatement of Nutrients (CLEAN) at Colorado State University to demonstrate sustainable solutions for reduction of nutrient pollution in the nation's waterways.
Colorado State University is among four research institutions receiving a total of $9 million in EPA Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants to advance innovative and sustainable water research to manage harmful nutrient pollution. Nutrient pollution is one of America's most widespread, costly and challenging environmental problems, and is caused by excess nitrogen and phosphorus in waterways.
The mission of Colorado State University's CLEAN Center is to create knowledge, build capacity, and forge collaboration to develop and demonstrate sustainable solutions for reduction of nutrient pollution in the nation's water resources. Colorado State University researchers will use the EPA grant to lead a multi-stakeholder effort to study and control the sources of excess nutrients in wastewater, stormwater, agricultural water, and natural systems. Key areas of research include: wastewater treatment technologies; water reuse systems; urban stormwater management; agricultural conservation; socioeconomic incentives; nutrient trading; and water rights.
"These grants will go towards research to help us better manage nutrients and better protect our precious water resources from the dangers of nutrient pollution, especially in a changing climate," said Administrator McCarthy.
When excessive nitrogen and phosphorus enter our waterways -- usually via stormwater runoff and industrial activities -- our water can become polluted. Nutrient pollution has impacted many streams, rivers, lakes, bays and coastal waters for the past several decades, resulting in serious environmental and health issues, and negatively impacting the economy. For example, nutrient pollution can reduce oxygen levels in water, leading to illnesses in fish and the death of large numbers of fish. In some cases nutrient pollution leads to elevated toxins and bacterial growth in waters that can make people sick.
The Science to Achieve Results (STAR) grants announced by Administrator McCarthy are an integral part of EPA's research on water quality and availability. Improving existing water infrastructure is costly, which makes creating new and sustainable approaches to water use, reuse and nutrient management important.
These grants support sustainable water research and demonstration projects consistent with a comprehensive strategy for managing nutrients and active community engagement throughout the research process.
In addition to Colorado State University, the following institutions received grants:
- · Pennsylvania State University Center for Integrated Multi-scale Nutrient Pollution Solutions, to focus on nutrient flows in Pennsylvania and the Chesapeake basin
· University of South Florida Center for Reinventing Aging Infrastructure for Nutrient Management, to support Tampa Bay and similar coastal areas as they face problems of aging wastewater collection and treatment systems, and rapid population growth
· Water Environment Research Foundation, Alexandria, Va., National Center for Resource Recovery and Nutrient Management, for innovative research in nutrient reduction through resource recovery and behavioral factors affecting acceptance and implementation.

Um yeah, I don't know…just go with it and sing it in your head! 🙂
It's crazy busy at work again (read as: "still") and having laptop issues last night didn't help a bit. I slept almost at midnight uninstalling stuff and clearing cache, etc. I woke up at 3am to see if anything was better. Nope. called my helpdesk at work and all they could do at that point was log a ticket. Woke up at 7am to see if anything has improved. Nada.
Anywho, laptop issues have now been resolved, but don't you wish you could just call HelpDesk on your kids at times? I, mean, I guess that's what Nannies/Babysitters/grandmas are for, but um, we are not privy to that right now in our new mid-western life. Too bad my MIL left already – she was a great help! Shrimpie's been more than a handful lately…more than 2 handfuls or 3 even.
As of 1pm CST, Shrimpie has managed to:
A) Wake up at 8:30am.
B) Wake up her sisters (by hitting them).
C) Beat up her sisters throughout the morning.
D) Climb chairs and furniture.
E) Spill water all over bathroom sink.
F) Be roommates with Buddy (in Buddy's crate!).
G) Catch some "Bubble Guppies" and "Sesame Street".
H) Throw cereal all over the table and floor.
I) Break an egg by throwing it onto the kitchen floor.
J) Nap.
K) All of the above…

I have a Domain, lets say
maindom.com, now I want to have another Domain, lets say
secdom.com to point to
maindom.com such that all the URL's leads to
maindom.com. I want to do this with the help of CNAME records only. I can use third-party services also.
secdom.com/rand123 Leads to
secdom.com/ano2484/anot Leads to
secdom.com/tesecqz?id=45 Leads to
I tried adding a CNAME record to
secdom.com with value
maindom.com, but just din't work.
Another point to note is that the IP of
maindom.com host other websites also and not just this one, this can be a problem I guess.
How to do this? Any help is appreciated.

Christmas is so close. I can almost taste the cookies!
Ho! Ho! Ho!
We have been very busy at the North Pole.
We have been very busy getting ready for Christmas Eve!
Now, we are all ready for the big night. There are just a few things to do. Everyone else is sleeping. So here's a silly rhyme from me to you!
The sleigh is all packed,
The reindeer in bed,
Dreaming of pulling,
Santa Claus' red sled.
The elves have been busy,
With paper and bows,
Ribbons and packages,
And polishing a nose!
You know which one.
It's famous. It glows!
And I have been busy,
Checking out my new sleigh.
Making sure it is perfect.
Making sure its okay.
Cuz Santa is coming.
Just one sleep away!
Merry Christmas!
Santa Claus
P.S. Do you have any special messages for me on my big trip?
(You can leave a message for Santa Claus. Or, scroll down to see what others have written!)

Welcome to the new CommScope.com experience. Need help? Get Help
Next week, the industry will discuss the future of content delivery at NAB. I'll be participating in a seminar examining how new dimensions in video technology will impact the business of video distribution. It's hard to discuss this topic without hitting on 4K (also called Ultra HD or UHD) and its ramifications for the industry.
Last year, I wrote this column on what's next for Ultra HD. My points about the phased approach to implementation still apply, but as this topic continues to heat up, I think it's a good time for an update on where 4K is today and how it is shaping the roll-out on a global scale…
The 15-year plateau of HDTV is undergoing a dramatic change thanks to HEVC and UHD.
Here is some quick background: Ultra HD represents a truly new era of television beyond HD. It refers to higher 4k resolution (3840x2160), but also involves higher frame rates, higher dynamic range, and better color. And consumers will soon see new programming broadcast in 4K, starting with the 2014 FIFA World Cup Finals. Furthermore, the Japanese and Korean governments are driving 4K and 8K video transmission trials for this year as well.
So, Ultra HD is very different from HD, and it's already here in some respects.
Many of us at ARRIS believe that UHD should be considered a roadmap for improving TV in the years to come. We also believe that the underlying HEVC standard that makes 4K content possible on today's networks is also what will enable many of these improved TV experiences.
HEVC is two times as effective as the current H.264 standard and has the potential to cut bandwidth costs in half. It will even enable telco providers to extend their reach over current DSL networks.
With that in mind, the phased approach to UHD that I mentioned earlier is likely to follow these four steps:
- High-efficiency path using HEVC to improve bandwidth economics for HD services. This will enable ubiquitous OTT services for media gateways, Internet-attached 4K displays and HD and 4K tablets and smartphones.
- Cinematic track that would support "optimized-for-4K" HD encoding. In other words, HEVC will provide a pathway to true 4K content at 24 and 30 frames per second. "Optimized for 4K" HD encoding would imply near-pristine HD content that looks great when upsampled on a 4K display. But, it leverages HEVC to fit in the same bandwidth as HD content compressed with today's MPEG4/H.264.
- HEVC becomes more attractive to sports programmers. These programmers will emphasize frame rate over resolution to deliver 1080p HD at 60 frames per second, and later at 120 frames per second. All while providing a pathway to true 4K at 60 frames per second.
- HEVC becomes that much more attractive to all service providers. They will use enhanced efficiency of HEVC to deliver traditional HD services while freeing up bandwidth for UHD and data services.
- Ultimately, HEVC opens the door for content and service providers to deliver better consumer experiences without breaking the bandwidth bank.
I hope that you can join me, Kevin Wirick, and Hugo Gaggioni, Sony CTO for Broadcast and Production Systems, and others at NAB in exploring this topic as well as the trends and technologies that will determine the future of video delivery networks.
Join my seminar, Wednesday April 9th @ 10am PT in the Las Vegas Convention Center, Room S219 "Creating Value in MultiScreen and Ultra HDTV" to learn more.

One of our primary goals with the Tucows Email Service is to be competitive with the best email services, and to be the best wholesale offering available for service providers.
Just like we do with all of our services, it comes to you as a "white label" service, with no Tucows branding anywhere. This past month we've been working on making the webmail interface much more extensible so you can brand it and make it even more like your own.
Here are some highlights of what we're prepping for release:
- Single sign-on – do your users log into a portal? Do you want them to automatically access the email service without logging in twice? You can do that now with the single sign on feature inside the Tucows Email Service. By passing a token, you can authenticate as that user, without having to know their password. That means seamless logins from your portal and an improved user experience for your customers.
- We're making the branding tool more flexible – if you put in a logo bigger than our "webmail" logo, it will automatically expand to the size of your logo. The front login page will pick up the logo from webmail, along with your background colour. You can also add your own support links, and customize the window title bar.
- Support for ads – some of our resellers like to have ads in their webmail, or they want to totally overhaul the header and footer of the webmail. In order to meet everyone's needs, we're making it very flexible. The header and footer will support images, and iframes hosted on another server (including target urls). We're also adding the ability to have an ad in the bottom left-hand corner of webmail.
There are a number of other changes that are outlined in the release notes, including usability enhancements, and more. Updated documentation is available as well.
The email team is excited to get this release out. The UI changes to webmail and single sign-on is already in our Test Environment, and the branding enhancements will be promoted to both Test and to Live on March 4th. Existing brands won't be affected by the update.
Stay tuned – there's more to come including more branding, more flexibility for service providers and more features for end users!
If you haven't checked out our webmail yet, try it out! We can provision you a demo account — all you need to do is fill out a quick form here and we'll set you up.

FOOT STOMPING – Soul Singles of 1961
We continue excerpts from the History section of the Celebrate Good Times book with a retrospective of the Top 100 Soul Singles of 1961. Our previous dips into the Sixties soulful goodie-bag has revealed the Top 100 Soul Singles of 1962 and 1963 respectively. This latest journey into the archives presents a selection designed to celebrate the greatest rhythm & blues records of the year previous. Again, they feature records only released in the UK on 45. Black harmony groups had been around for a long time, initially singing gospel. Recording groups like The Mills Brothers and The Ink Spots took a more secular approach, singing ballads, pop and jump tunes. They made an incredible impact on the global music scene during the Thirties and Forties and were hugely successful and influential. Their style spawned many imitators which in the late Forties gave birth to what we now know as 'doowop' – a vibrant and exciting vocal form which saw harmonized back-ups help to create a thrilling rhythmic backdrop and counterpoint to lead vocals. These type of groups became especially prominent in the Fifties which is considered to be the golden era of the genre. A pivotal record in 1959 by The Drifters – There Goes My Baby – saw the addition of lavish string arrangements, which announced the arrival of a new 'soul' sound. This drifting soul sound is earmarked in the selection by four of their classics – Room Full Of Tears; a Brill Building masterpiece written by Continue reading FOOT STOMPING – Soul Singles of 1961

OAKLAND — A man wanted on suspicion of stabbing a woman to death in Maryland more than seven years ago was arrested by federal agents at Oakland International Airport on Thursday as he tried to board a late-night flight to Mexico City.
Pedro Gomez Reyes, 59, a Mexican national with permanent residence in the U.S., passed through security and was steps away from boarding a plane. But Reyes had registered for the flight under his own name and date of birth and a routine check of international passengers showed he was wanted on a murder warrant, said Jamie Ruiz, a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Officers intercepted Reyes on a Jetway about 11:45 p.m., Ruiz said. The airline was not identified. Reyes is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin without bail. A court date for an extradition hearing had not been scheduled as of late Friday, according to law enforcement records.
Reyes has been wanted by police in Prince George's County, Maryland, since March 17, 2005, where he is accused of stabbing a woman in the back during a domestic dispute, Ruiz said.
Police in Maryland could not immediately provide any additional details about the allegations on Friday.
It was unclear where Reyes has been hiding since 2005 or if there was an active investigative of the murder for which he was the subject of a warrant.
Ruiz said that customs agents review all international travel passenger lists for inbound and outbound flights.
"All the info is cross-checked, Ruiz said. "We found an open warrant."
In a written statement issued Friday, the chief of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection's San Francisco office praised the arrest.
"This arrest is a perfect example of close communication and cooperation with other law enforcement agencies," Director of Field Operations Brian J. Humphrey said in the statement. "With (the agency's) border authority covering all international inbound and outbound traffic, our officers are at the front line every day working to protect our citizens from harm, and bring fugitives to justice."

Now we know, definitively, that Chris Christie isn't running for president. But it appears a select group of Californians had advance knowledge of that decision.
It's understandable that Christie has been the focus of tremendous speculation about a potential presidential bid. It reflects genuine unease among some party leaders about the makeup of the field and questions about Rick Perry and Mitt Romney.
It also reflects the media's desire for drama in this developing horse race.

Christie's past declarations that he wasn't interested also seemed to waver last week during an appearance at the Reagan Library in Simi Valley.
But it appears his mind was already made up at that point.
According to the Wall Street Journal, a fundraiser that newly-minted HP CEO Meg Whitman hosted last week at her home for Christie was based on the assurance that Christie wasn't running.
Whitman is a strong supporter of Romney's presidential bid.
According to the paper, Christie told those attending the Whitman event, a benefit for New Jersey Republicans, that he would not run.
As to what he told Nancy Reagan last week during his California visit, Christie was mum today. Saying only that his dinner with her "was one of the great honors of my life," the New Jersey governor declined to offer details on their conversation, and whether he had indicated his decision to her.

First, full disclosure: I am a novice game player. My standard: Did I have fun? Did my heart race as I tried (mostly in vain) to fulfill the mission? Would I play this game over and over again to the chagrin of my friends and family, who are trying to have a human connection with a bowed head and moving finger?
The answer is ... yes. The first thing you notice when you open Antimatter is the soundtrack. Part ambient, part power chords, part nouveau classical, it blares into your adrenal glands forcing you to move your finger faster and faster. And since that is how you operates your power, that is a good thing, but after about level three I turned down the music to maintain what ever sanity I might have.
Antimatter is set in space. Small batons (some people call them strands) rotate in blue. You are a comet-like ball of light which you must tap or richocet into them and turn all of them red. This is not as easy as it sounds 'cuz if you hit a strand again after you turn it red, it reverts to blue. Also there are these bright pink, blue and orange balls that, when hit, give you renewed energy and bonus points. As you ascend the levels, more and more batons are thrown at you, obviously making it harder and harder to turn them all red or destroy them all together. And there appears to be a time factor. The flash graphics are cool and it does have the feeling of floating through space. I
I enjoyed Antimatter, but wondered if it would ever be as addicting to me as the simple old bubblegum game or Pacman. Now that you know my low threshold of fun, you may well want to try this game out!

Dems weigh cap-and-trade floor debate before July 4
Seeking to maintain momentum from last month's markup, House Democrats are considering an aggressive push this month for floor passage of energy and global warming legislation.
Democratic leaders must choose between a floor debate during the next four weeks on their comprehensive bill, H.R. 2454, or waiting until after the July 4 recess. Hill leadership aides say no decisions have been made, but the topic is atop the agenda for today's regularly scheduled meeting with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) and other top Democrats.
"We'll move forward as quickly as we can," a House Democratic leadership aide said yesterday. "And we'll move forward as we're ready."
Sources on and off Capitol Hill say the Obama administration has quietly been encouraging House action before the July 4 recess in order to focus attention on a bill that last month cleared the Energy and Commerce Committee on a 33-25 vote. So far, White House officials have declined comment on their preference for when to move the legislation.
The move could also help clear the way for lawmakers to take up health care reform -- another top Obama White house initiative -- in July.
Meanwhile, Obama officials also are turning their focus to the Senate, where sources say key administration representatives have held dozens of meetings with lawmakers in preparation for the much more difficult fight to win 60 votes and defeat an expected Republican filibuster. Leading House Democrats responsible for the bill, namely Reps. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Rick Boucher (D-Va.), are scheduled today to brief their Senate colleagues, including Environment and Public Works Chairwoman Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and Foreign Relations Chairman John Kerry (D-Mass.).
Back in the House, action is expected to be relatively swift for the eight committees that have a piece of the bill.
The House Ways and Means Committee and Agriculture Committee "have very significant roles to play" in the bill, Hoyer said last month. The Maryland Democrat predicted swift action for the other committees, including Transportation and Infrastructure, Foreign Affairs and Financial Services.
"I think most of the committees will give relatively quick treatment of it," Hoyer said. "Their level of concern is not high."
Hoyer has said the floor debate would begin either at the end of June or early next month. But Pelosi to date has not set any deadlines for other committees to act on the bill, though that is expected to change this week.
"She's got to figure that out and start the clock running," said one former Democratic aide to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Should Democrats opt for floor action this month, it would mean an abbreviated effort to work out unresolved issues with the House Ways and Means and Agriculture committees.
Manik Roy, vice president of federal outreach at the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, said Waxman and Markey proved during last month's markup that they are capable of working quickly to produce a winning combination while still dealing with different regional concerns -- and he said action in the next four weeks should not be ruled out.
"That's a pretty big lift," Roy said. "It's ambitious, but not impossible."
"As with any fragile agreement, the faster you move it the more likely it is to remain intact," added Dan Weiss, a senior fellow at the liberal Center for American Progress.
But industry attorney Scott Segal cautioned Democrats against forcing an uncomfortable issue on their own members by pressing a floor vote over the next four weeks.
"If it moves so fast that we're dealing with it already in the month of June, then other committees will not have had time to do any form of serious analysis on the bill," said Segal, who represents electric utilities and petroleum refiners for Bracewell & Giuliani. "They'll have made the decision to honor committee referral in name only."
A farm state fight?
House Agriculture Committee Democrats have several problems with the push for action on a comprehensive energy bill, starting with how to define biomass as renewable energy and Wall Street's involvement in carbon trading. Chairman Collin Peterson (D-Minn.) also opposes indirect land-use considerations for biofuels, an issue that is not specifically mentioned in the legislation (see related story).
And he wants a larger share of agricultural offsets -- with stronger Agriculture Department oversight -- factored into the bill. House Democratic leaders are expected to pay close attention to Peterson and the farm state lawmakers' concerns.
"There's not so many votes that you can just piss off the Aggies," said the former Democratic aide to the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
"The farm constituency is a big place to concentrate," added Roy. "It's a key moderate constituency that's not as fully represented on Energy and Commerce as so many others are."
As for the Ways and Means Committee, it is unclear what Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) wants to do with the energy legislation. Rangel clouded the picture last month when he told reporters that Obama's health care agenda would be a higher priority than the climate bill. But Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.), another committee member and a top Pelosi ally, said he did not expect Rangel to perform "radical surgery" on the Waxman-Markey bill.
Rangel could just focus in on provisions of the Energy and Commerce Committee's bill that deal with international trade and the auctioning of 15 percent of the allowances where the funding is dedicated toward low-income consumers. He also could go much deeper and prompt a sweeping debate over whether Congress should enact a carbon tax rather than a cap-and-trade program.
Democratic leaders are expected to keep close tabs on Rangel as he works with the House bill that has built into it an allowance structure that Waxman, Markey and Boucher carefully negotiated last month. Any major changes could prompt a feeding frenzy as lawmakers push to further divide up a limited number of allocations.
"That'd be a disaster," Roy said. "The agreements made in Energy and Commerce cannot be undone."
Spokesmen for both the Agriculture and Ways and Means committees said yesterday that no decisions have been made on how they will proceed on the climate bill.
Eyeing 218
Looking toward the floor, Energy and Commerce Democrats are also expected to have a busy month trying to make the case to colleagues who have not spent much time on the global warming issue.
"I'd think that members who voted for it in committee are going to want company on the floor from members who are similarly situated," said Dan Lashof, director of the Natural Resources Defense Council's Climate Center.
According to an E&E projection, Pelosi has about 170 Democrats she already can count on to pass the energy bill, as well as at least three Republicans, New Jersey Reps. Christopher Smith and Frank LoBiondo and California Rep. Mary Bono Mack.
To reach the 218 threshold, Pelosi will need to win the votes of dozens of moderate and conservative Democrats from all corners of the country. Also, as many as 30 Republicans may be in play, including Reps. Michael Castle of Delaware, Anh Cao of Louisiana, Vernon Ehlers of Michigan, and Dave Reichert of Washington.
Given that House rules put enormous power in Pelosi's hands, few dispute she will move to debate the bill on the floor if she is short of a majority.
"I tend to think the speaker proceeds as long as she wins, as long as she knows she has a majority, no matter how slim," Segal said.

Welcome to Tuesday Night Fights, a weekly celebration and analysis of street-fight videos found on YouTube. Tonight's fisticuffs: "Fight!!! Mayhem in Section 328: Why not to wear Red Sox Gear in Yankee Stadium: Round 1 and 2." Tonight's commentator: "David Smith," a seat-shifting fan with a cam and penchant for finding lady fights in the Bronx.
As a Yankees fan with plans of returning to the stadium, Smith isn't David Smith's real last name. But in exchange for breaking down what he saw, and what you may have seen here over the weekend, anonymity was exchanged.
I arrived in the sixth inning to those seats. Was sitting in another section higher up. When I got there, it was the usual banter back and forth. Lots of "Boston Sucks" chants, a few jabs at the Texas Rangers (one of the three girls was wearing a Rangers hat); the occasional peanut and/or garbage thrown in their general direction.
The Red Sox chick finally had enough when someone hit her with something. She turned around and REALLY started jawing back with the chick who eventually karate kicked her and her crew. That's when I started filming.
Quick thinking. Good thinking.
Security was there, but was just observing when it was obviously escalating.
After the first video, security led Red Sox chick away, presumably to either escort her out and to get her some medical attention.
Obviously, this whole escorting-away didn't work for all that long, what with there being a Part II installment.
A good five minutes pass and she storms back out of nowhere, apparently escaping security to make her second halfhearted attack.
When it was just banter back and forth, it wasn't anything out of the ordinary. People were watching the game.
Once the screaming back and forth happened, people around the incident started paying attention to them. Kind of like watching a train wreck. Red Sox chick was obviously drunk. People were wondering why security didn't intervene when she started inching up the stairs.
When 'The Kick' happened, the only other reaction I've seen people have that was similar was watching people react to 'Two Girls One Cup.' Shock. Dismay.
Um, shock and dismay at Two Girls One Cup? C'mon, bro. That's just art.
And now, the rest of your Tuesday Night Fights:
• At one point, one roomy gal seems to be horseback riding a roomier gal, but instead of reins and whatnot, she's crushing foe's face wit' fist. Then, there's, like, almost-exposed breastuses and fully exposed stomachses. Also, fucking-hoopster intervention. (Start of violence, 0:00)
• A bunch of bros. A chair thrown. A funnel shown. Attempted frisbee to face. Sand kicked. Blood. And, a "Fuck Mexico" chant. (SoV; 0:07)
• A bunch of bros. On boats. In a fight which tipster Righteous Dewd dubbed "Havasu Meets Bushwood." (SoV, instantly)
• HD quality footage of a scrappy brawl at Darling Harbor in Sydney, Australia. (SoV, 0:02; SoDancing, 0:41; RestartoV, 2:15)
• Your Really Horrible Street-Fracas-Turned-Hit-And-Run Near-Snuff-Film Commercial Break:
• "Group fight after club," which YouTuber smoove82 defines as, "was walkin to the car and they were tearing it down, enjoy lol." (SoV, instantly)
• This probably isn't the type of product placement El Rio Grande Restaurant was looking for, what with its appearance in the "Funkytown Fight (Southside)" film. (SoV, 0:10)
• Dude's a one-man wrecking crew. (SoV, 0:02)
• This here's called "Street Fight in public." As opposed to those noted melees on private streets. (SoV, instantly)
• Here's the back story: "Girl talking trash via Facebook gets taught a lesson. Screams 'Don't touch me' then gets touched." (SoV, 0:06)
• Your "Straight Men vs Trannies Brawl" Interlude:
• This week's "Pack of Foreigners Attacks Another Pack of Foreigners" installment pits the Lille Hooligans vs. the PSG Hooligans. (SoV, 0:04)
• It seems as if "urban youths" got into a brawl at a carnival in Michigan. This, of course, runs counter to the local reporter's stance that "carnivals are supposed to be fun." And, oh, how they are. Eight Mile! (SoV, news report, involving references to hurting ribs and Taco Bell)
• Rumble! (SoV, instantly)
• Here's cinematographer Eddie's breakdown of "Employ fight at whataburger" ...
Well, we get there to eat "desoto" and we are the only customers and there is a pregnant lady working along with the Mexican guy and the manager. While we are eating, the pregnant women steps out to smoke, and the black employee in walks in.
Next thing we know the Mexican guy is trying to fight the black guy and keeps telling him "pop it off nigga, pop it off" and we think he might have been late, but not sure. The black guy was smiling and calm the entire time and even looked at us. And while this shit talking is happening the manager is behind them looking away and not trying to stop it or saying anything he even gets bumped into a couple of times.
Then the black guy says "You gonna make me do this right here? I just got to work!" The Mexican keeps telling him to pop it off, so I start recording and the black guy puts his stuff down and goes off on the Mexican guy.
As you can tell the camera looked away sometimes and that's because I didn't want him to come at me after I recorded him get beat up. But once they started fighting the manager finally stepped in, not sure what all happened in the back where I couldn't see But it was loud like they were all wrestling.
Once it was over, you can't really tell from the video, but his face was red in multiple spots, it was obvious he got beat up.
The manager and the lady told them to leave. The Mexican leaves first and the black guy still smiling with no bruises apologizes to us and I tell him I got it all on video he comes and watches it, still breathing hard and adrenaline flowing. But still laughing and asks me to sent it to him.
He gave me a number to a friend who has an iPhone I sent it, but I no longer have the number.
• Ashanti and Shanice apparently come to blows over their differing opinions on LeBron James's hairline. Or something. (SoV, 0:40)
• Others:"Natsy Sexy Girl Fight at Gas Station." "Light vs dark skin girl fight in front high school." "School fight." "Mexican vs. black nm." "Missionary fight!" "Girl getting beat up & Security didn't even break it up." "sick street fight! 2 guys and a girl! (3 of 4) and then cops show up!." "White Boy Beats Up A Black Kid At His BBQ & His Brother Gets The White Boy Back!"

Tā moko – the art of Māori tattoo – is a unique expression of cultural heritage and identity.
It reflects the individual's whakapapa (ancestry) and personal history. In earlier times it was an important signifier of social rank, knowledge, skill and eligibility to marry.
Traditionally men received moko on their faces, buttocks and thighs. Women usually wore moko on their lips and chins. Moko was sometimes applied to other parts of the body, including the forehead, neck, back, stomach and calves.
Today, moko is experiencing resurgence, both in traditional and modern forms. Where Māori designs are used for aesthetic reasons, without the traditional significance, this is referred to as kirituhi or skin art.
Before the arrival of European settlers, the complex designs of tā moko were literally carved into the skin. A rake-like instrument, usually made of teeth or bone, was used to break the skin; then a flat edged blade was used to tap in the dye, creating a tattoo with a scarred, chiselled appearance. The pigment used was soot obtained from burning kahikatea, or white pine, sometimes mixed with kauri gum or soot from the oily koromiko (hebe) shrub.
The modern tool of tā moko is the tattoo machine, although some tā moko artists alternate between traditional and modern methods. While the needle is faster and more precise, hand tools bring the ritual more in line with how it was done traditionally.
Tā moko is an elusive art form to observe, given that it exists on the living canvas of the human body. However, you'll no doubt see examples of Māori moko if you book in a Māori cultural experience or marae visit. In these settings, your Māori hosts can explain to you what their tattoos represent.

Is it playoff time already? It seems winter is still clinging on and already the baseball season is winding up? Where have I been?
Even while most of us were waiting for the end of winter, the Baseball Bash Boys from Blanding made an opening round proclamation in Blanding on Saturday that it's springtime, they are back, and they are poised to make another run at the 2A baseball title.
The Broncos ran to a convincing 11-1 pounding of Enterprise. After allowing an early run to the Wolves, Nache Nielson slammed the trap shut on the team from southwest Utah, giving up three hits to earn the pitching victory and run his 2010 record to a glossy 11-1.
Offensively, the Broncos banged out 16 hits, including six doubles and two home runs, one each by Benny Royer and Peyton Black.
Speaking of Peyton, he was honored last week by the Utah Chapter of the National Football Foundation as one of 12 recipients of the Utah High School Scholar-Athlete award.
According to the website, "The Utah Chapter of the National Football Foundation was founded in 1994 and is dedicated to promoting and developing unique qualities of leadership, sportsmanship, competitive zeal and the drive for academic excellence through participation in amateur football."
Congratulations to Peyton, who joins six former Broncos and two former Buckaroos on the team. Former recipients from San Juan are Dane Lyman, Brian Kirk, Kade Lyman, Brett Burtenshaw, Brian Bradford and Kylee Brown, and from Monticello are Reed Anderson and Quinn Dowell.
Former Monticello head football coach, Ray Odette was honored for his Outstanding Service to High School Athletics in 2007.
Back to baseball. The Bronco win earns them a spot in the 2A finals at Utah Valley University, starting Thursday against the surging Parowan Rams. The Rams claimed two easy victories in their bracket, besting the Red Devils of Moab 11-0 and the Rams of Monroe 10-5.
Parowan opened the season losing six of eight games, but have come on strong, winning 13 of their last 14 games.
But the Broncos, motivated by last year's second place finish, are self-assured. "They got wounded (last year)," says head coach Mike Bowers, "And now they're fighting back. The state championship in football last fall has given them confidence."
Track and (snow-covered) Field
Jeff Hunt reports on Monticello track teams: "The Buckaroos made the journey up to Provo for the 100th BYU Invitational on Friday and Saturday. With more than 100 schools represented and close to 40 in the 1A-2A division the girls finished in 7th, while the boys placed 11th.
Both teams showed a lot of heart considering there was two inches of snow on the ground with the meet started on Friday. Probably most important for the girls was finishing only 2.5 points behind two time defending state champs St. Joseph's for second place out of 1A schools.
The girls are running real well right now behind Jr. Captain Loren Randall, who finished 3rd in the 800m and 7th in the 1600m. Macee Nielson continues to tear up the track, finishing 2nd in the 3200m and 3rd in the 1600m. Both girls anchored their respective relay teams to top five finishes as Macee, Shaylyn Black, Rachel Beh and Miriam Reay finished 4th in the Medley Relay and Loren, Martha Beh, Brittany Keith and Shaylyn Black finished 5th in the 4x400m.
For the boys, Juniors Devin Wright and Dallin Duncan totaled 25 points in solid outings. Devin was first in the Javelin and third in the 400m while Dallin finished 4th in High Jump and 8th in the 300m Hurdles. The boys 4x100m relay team of Steven Redd, Kendal Maughan, Jake Duncan and Josh Anderson finished 8th.
Heading into the Region Championship at Grand County High School on Thursday starting at 3 p.m., the Buckaroos seem primed to defend their region titles. The girls are looking to win their 4th title in 5 years while the boys are looking for their third. Both teams are looking for their 3rd straight win."
Bronco athletes also participated in the 110th annual invitational, led by Jace Holliday, who finished first in the 400 meter run and anchored the victorious 4 x 100 relay team along with Drew Nielson, Colby Redd, and Ryan Lyman, an annual Bronco winning tradition. Ammon Mitchell placed fifth in the 110 meter hurdles.
For the girls, Simone Shumway claimed a second place in the 100 meter dash. Megan McDonald grabbed a fourth in the 110 meter hurdles and a fifth in the 300 meter hurdles. Katie Hiatt was sixth in the 3200. Lindsey Christensen was sixth in the javelin, and Jorden Giddings was eighth in the shotput.
More coaching news
Should we end with more coaching news? Ryan Nielson, former Bronco player and current head basketball coach, and former Bronco and baseball coach Mike Bowers resigned their respective positions at San Juan High School.
Says Nielson, who will stay at San Juan for now in his teaching position, "I would like to say how much I have enjoyed coaching over the years. These young men have taught me more than I will ever give them. I will miss being in the gym coaching the game I love so much. Also I will miss just being around those kids.
"I have had so many wonderful experiences that I will cherish forever. I believe I will coach again in the future, but I little time off will really help me re-energize my batteries. I would like to thank all those who have supported me over the years it has meant so much.
"I know I am not perfect and have made mistakes and if I have ever offended anyone in any way I am sorry. I would like to thank all the coaches who have helped me; it takes a lot of time and effort it also means so much.
"I would like to wish the young men who play basketball at San Juan the best of luck. I will truly miss the times we have had together."
For his part, Bowers will be leaving to move to Salt Lake City. "It's sad, really sad," Bowers says about leaving. "I love this place. You won't find any better kids, well rounded kids than here."
Bowers, whose wife Cheryl is moving with Eagle Air Med's relocation to the big city, will interview shortly for an assistant basketball/baseball and teaching position at Juan Diego High School.
"I feel lucky to have such an opportunity when there aren't that many jobs available these days." Bowers lists one of his favorite things about coaching as "getting kids beyond what they thought they could do."
This leaves the Buckaroo football team (see last week's SJR) and San Juan basketball and baseball teams in search of head coaches. All three programs carry colossal traditions that surely will attract superior applications. Here's hoping we'll find the best possible teacher/coaches out there, because the programs certainly deserve it.

The Stanford Wine Route in South Africa is an up and coming area in the Overberg. Wine Estates here are producing award winning, cool climate wines.
The town of Stanford is about 25 km from Hermanus and falls within the Cape Whale Coast Route. This Victorian influenced village on the banks of the Klein River is considered by many as an undiscovered gem but is fast becoming a popular weekend getaway destination as it is a mere 150 km from Cape Town. A wide variety of accommodation establishments abound and there is much to explore and experience in the area.
Stanford is close to the southernmost tip of Africa, making it one of South Africa's coolest wine producing regions. The vineyards enjoy a cool ripening season, the result of the strong cooling winds that are prevalent in summer. These are of course ideal conditions for the production of top quality and award winning wines, according to Masayiti.
The route is relatively small with only eight members at this stage. However,everybody agrees that expansion is inevitable as Stanford's unique terroir is bound to new entrepreneurs and some existing producers have indicated that they want to be part of this new venture.
This is the first winery visitors will encounter when travelling from Hermanus on the R43.
Legend has it that the name comes from the fog that develops on the lagoon quite close by and ascends the mountain leaving it veiled in a misty shroud.
It is owned by Gauteng business man, André van Vuuren, who bought it in 2004, establishing the first vineyards in 2005. The first vintage was produced in 2008. Robert Davis is the General Manager with Stellenbosch University educated Neil Patterson consulting as winemaker.
Of the farm's 46 hectares, 16 ha are mostly under Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz vines. Four hectares higher up on the property are earmarked to be planted with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir for their first Méthode Cap Classique.
Apart from the vineyards the farm also features olive trees and bottles water from its own natural source under the Misty Mountain label. Exciting new developments are on the cards with a deli, a cheese factory, a micro-brewery and guest accommodation, to name but a few.
For the time being the tasting room is open 6 days per week where cheese platters are offered and the wines on offer can be sampled.
The property lies south, on the opposite side of the Klein River.
A dream to create a project involving family and friends inspired owner Dr. Johst Weber to purchase the farm in 1994. The cool, windy Walker Bay climate and limestone soils proved to bring out the best in the Chenin Blanc and Pinotage, the grape varieties they decided to specialize in. Winemaker Tariro Masayiti and horticulturist/viticulturist Hildegard Witbooi work side by side to coax the very best grapes from their unique terroir for their selection of handcrafted, award winning wines.
Their tasting room is open 7 days a week and the new Springfontein Bar(n) opening on 1 October, promises a new pairing experience with snacks and wine.
The farm also offers accommodation in a handful of beautifully decorated cottages and the restaurant run by Michelin starred chef Jürgen Schneider and his partner Suzanne, is a must do on anybody's bucket list.
This winery is just off the R43 and about one kilometre before the town of Stanford.
The estate, established in 1855 and once owned by the entrepreneur Sir Robert Stanford, lies on the southern slopes of the Kleinrivier Mountains, believed to be the southernmost mountain range in South Africa. It is one of Walker Bay's oldest wine establishments dating back to the 1890's. Vineyard blocks on granite soils overlook the Klein River Valley and benefit from the cool maritime breezes. Approximately 60 hectares of the farm is planted with amongst others Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. More than 200 Fynbos species, a bounty of wildlife and vineyards managed to exist in harmony, has earned the estate a Biodiversity and Wine Initiative Championship award. A delicious and wholesome freshly prepared meal at Madré's Kitchen should not be missed while a visit to the Stookhuis distillery or art studio literally adds gusto and colour to your visit.
The farm, owned by Peter and Jami Kastner, is next door to Sir Robert Stanford Estate. Here, on the estate with its magnificent vistas, they produce their range of wines that includes Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Shiraz and Pinotage. They also grow flowers for the export market, roses for the local
market as well as olives.
The original old farmhouse, believed to have been built in 1855 by the founder of the village, became a school for girls and today offers accommodation to tourists visiting the area.
The farm's restaurant and wine tasting facility, The Tasting Room, is extremely popular and constantly packed with visitors. The chalkboard menu changes daily and always offers an interesting variety of options. The kitchen uses local organic and free-range products wherever possible, as the chef has a strong belief that using quality fresh, local ingredients make memorable meals.
The full range of Estate wines are sold at cellar door price to restaurant guests.
Stanford Hills is the ideal place for a family visit as it is extremely child friendly.
Virtually around the corner from the above wineries and just outside Stanford village is Walker Bay Vineyards, a boutique wine estate which is also home to the Birkenhead Brewery.
Vines were planted for the first time in 2003 and they released their maiden vintage Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay in 2007 followed shortly afterwards by their red blend consisting of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot.
The ±20 hectares of vines planted on clay-textured soils and benefitting from the prevailing cool winds from the ocean now also include Shiraz.
The winery conducts tours of the brewery, wine and beer tastings and runs a restaurant and pub that not only offers mouth-watering meals but also the most spectacular views of the Klein River Mountains. Alternatively you can settle down on the vast green lawn with a sumptuous picnic, enjoying a magnificent sunset.
This is the smallest producer on the route with a mere 3 hectares under vines. The farm, established in 2005 belongs to Naas Terblanche, a passionate conservationist and winemaker.
The vines grow on predominantly sandstone and koffieklip soils and comprise only two cultivars, Sauvignon Blanc and Shiraz. Walker Bay, which can be seen from the vineyards, lends a cool maritime climate to the area and making the production of elegant white wines and classical red wines possible.
The Terblanche family is committed to conservation and strive to protect the indigenous plants and birds of the region and in particular the13 frog species that occur in their wetland.
Vaalvlei offers farm cottage accommodation where guests can relax, enjoy the beautiful surroundings and try their hand at a bit of fly fishing.
With his passion for the environment Naas not only opted to choose the endangered Western Leopard Toad for his wine labels but also runs a permanent audio visual display in his tasting room.
A drive further up the valley on the R362 takes you to this family owned cellar. Owner Piet Dreyer bought the farm Remhoogte in 1982 and in 1999 established the first vineyards. In 2002 he decided to swap the ocean for the wine industry after spending more than three decades in the fishing industry. He named the farm and its wines after his beloved black fishing vessel, Raka.
The farm is situated in a narrow valley in the Klein River Mountains and the vineyards are planted on diverse soils either side of the Klein River that flows through the valley. Plantings include a wide variety of grape cultivars e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot, Shiraz, Mourvédre, Petit Verdot, Pinotage, Sangiovese and white varieties such as Sauvignon Blanc and Viognier.
Raka is a family run concern with son Joseph taking charge of the cellar, Pieter managing the farm and vineyards, only daughter Jorika looking after the marketing and parents Piet and Elna ever present to entertain visitors with their relics and anecdotes from days of yore.
Right next door to Raka is Boschrivier Wines, a small family-owned wine farm that actually consists of the two farms Boschkloof and Remhoogte. The farms belong to Dr Theodore (Ficky) de Villiers and lie at the foot of the picturesque Akkedisberg Mountain range with the Klein River running along the edge of the farm. The farms fall into the Klein River Wine Ward which forms part of the Overberg Wine Region. The Bosch River (running along the upper part of the farm) was the inspiration for the label.
In 2001 the first bottle of Boschrivier Shiraz was produced and since then the focus was on producing a boutique Shiraz of exceptional quality. In 2013 three new wines were added to the range: Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon.

TODAY IS NATIONAL GOLF DAY, a day when leaders of the U.S. golf industry go to Capitol Hill to speak with a unified voice about the importance of the game, not just as a pastime but as a major industry.
The World Golf Foundation coordinated the day's agenda, according to the foundation's website. Golf's movers and shakers from organizations such as the PGA of America, World Golf Foundation, Club Managers Association of America, National Golf Course Owners Association and Golf Course Superintendents Association of America carried an important message to Members of Congress:
"Golf is good for the country. And what's good for the people is good for the president. Let him play. Lord knows his game needs a lot of work."
Well, not exactly. In fact, that's a complete fabrication. Although golf and the golf industry really are good for the country, as it turns out. According to the World Golf Foundation:
- Golf provides two million jobs
- Golf creates $61 billion in annual wages
- The U.S. golf economy totals more than $76 billion
It was an exciting and inspiring time for golf in the nation's capitol. I've included the above YouTube highlights so you can share in the celebration. Enjoy.
−The Armchair Golfer

Tennessee Is the Most Excited About Starbucks' PSL
If you thought you were excited about Starbucks rolling out their iconic pumpkin spice lattes on August 28, you've got nothing on Tennessee. This Southern state could not stop tweeting about the cinnamon-y, orange-y, pumpkin-tasting beverage, according to a data analysis by one website.
A Definitive Guide to (Almost) Every Pumpkin Spice Product in Existence
The Daring Kitchen used trends software to analyze 100,000 geotagged tweets from all over the country, and they discovered that Tennesseans tweeted about Starbucks' signature fall drink on the day it launched at a higher rate than any other state. Twitter users out of Tennessee apparently used hashtags such as #PSL, #pumpkinspicelatte, and #pumpkinspice more than anybody else in the country.
In fact (according to The Daring Kitchen, at least) practically half of the tweets coming out of Tennessee on the Starbucks-appointed first official day of fall were about the PSLs - fully 41 percent of Tennessee tweets involved the drink. The next closest state was West Virginia with only 6 percent. How basic is that?
Pumpkin spice lattes? In August???Yes! Finally! Thank you!- noelle austin 🧚ðŸ¼â€â™€ï¸ (@motherofdoggs) August 28, 2018
did someone say pumpkin spice latte? #PSL pic.twitter.com/eCTA62D0KK- samantha minchew (@SamanthaMinchew) August 28, 2018
PUMPKIN SPICE IS BACK!!!!!! #starbucks #PSL #PumpkinSpiceLatte- Cammie Guinn (@CammieLulaBell) August 28, 2018
While that sizeable statistical gap might raise some eyebrows, we're amused by the idea of Tennessee being absolutely rabid for PSLs. Just in case the analysis is accurate, Starbucks baristas in the state might want to be on the lookout for foaming-at-the-mouth PSL-tweeters and report any sightings to animal control.
As you can discern from the map above, The Daring Kitchen also claims that Washington, Oregon, and Indiana were big on tweeting about PSLs, and the area with the most interest overall was the Midwest. The biggest surprise, however, was Michigan; despite its Midwest location, the state was among the least eager to tweet about Starbucks' signature drink. Perhaps Michiganders are too preoccupied tweeting about all the signs they're obsessed with fall.

A century too late, Nikola Tesla is blowing up.
First, visiting performing artist Thaddeus Phillips presented the world premiere of his new one-man play based on the works of Tesla, inventor of the radio and first alternating current power system. Then, it was announced that the Denver Center Theatre Company will enter into a collaboration with Buntport, which hosted Phillips' play in October, to develop its own original multimedia production to explore Tesla's life and inventions.
Today, the Colorado Springs company TheatreWorks announced that not only will it bring Phillips back next season to present his Tesla play – since renamed from "Microworld(s), Part I" to "Capsule 33" – but it will also bow its own creation, "I Am Nikola Tesla," to launch its 2010-11 season on Sept. 16.

Camden Reads Wrap-Up
The variety of reading too, has been eye-opening. Some have poured over biographies of political figures, while others turned the pages of their favourite pirate-themed adventure novel. Some curled up with a warm romance, others relaxed in their favourite chair with a bristling mystery thriller. No matter the choice, thousands (yes, thousands) of books have been recommended- a list of which we will keep and share over the coming year with you on our blogs, social media, and promo material.
Reading continues to be the most important skill for a good life, and reading for pleasure promotes insightful, imaginative, confident, powerful individuals who in turn create vibrant communities that support one other. (Hey, you probably didn't even care about that, but seeing as it is the purpose of our existence and nothing gives us greater pleasure than hearing how you couldn't put down a book, it's worth a mention).
We hope you enjoyed the program! Prizes will be announced in the next few weeks!
