Around since 1959, the Newport Folk Festival is one of the oldest music festivals around (Bob Dylan played his first national performance on its stages). Without the glam of Coachella, the hype of Burning Man, or the size of Lollapalooza, Newport Folk Festival is the quiet, established music festival that's actually about music, and not about pool parties or paparazzi. We took a water taxi to Fort Adams and mingled with the other ladies and gents in snazzy getups to take in The Decemberists, M. Ward, Elvis Costello, Emmylou Harris, and many more. Check out our street style snaps from proper music fans that don't need a Kanye appearance in order to sing along.

| 7.4°C Belfast
Police officers complained that former chief whip Andrew Mitchell repeatedly insisted on cycling through the gates of Downing Street, contravening security rules, in the days before the so-called "plebgate" incident, according to a leaked email.
The Times said the email was written the day before Mr Mitchell's infamous confrontation with officers guarding the street by a constable seeking advice from his superiors on how to handle his demands.
The officer was said to have complained that Mr Mitchell "keeps requesting to leave Downing Street via the main vehicle gates" and was "adamant he WAS GOING THROUGH THOSE GATES".
Mr Mitchell was forced to resign last year after it was reported that he had repeatedly sworn at officers and called them "plebs" after they insisted he wheeled his bicycle through a side gate - a claim he has always denied.
Evidence subsequently emerged casting doubt on the police version and last week a serving officer was jailed for fabricating an account of the incident.
The email obtained by The Times, dated September 19, potentially casts new light on the incident, suggesting that Mr Mitchell had had previous disagreements with officers over the issue.
The author is said to have written: "It has been 'brought to my attention' that a certain cyclist who is now the Government Chief Whip, Andrew Mitchell, keeps requesting to leave the front of Downing Street via the main vehicle gates.
"When he was initially denied this, he went on to say 'I am the Government Chief Whip and I will be leaving via these gates. I have been in and out of these gates three times today and I will be leaving this way, thank you'."
The officer said that "as it was quite late and quiet" and "in order not to create embarrassment" to himself or the Diplomatic Protection Group, Mr Mitchell had on that occasion been allowed to leave through one of the main gates.
The officer went on to request advice from people "of much higher rank or standing", adding: "Do we stand our ground (but have the backing of yourself if something comes of it in the future... or do we allow him (only) to use the main gates for his arrivals and departures at all times?"
In response to the report, Mr Mitchell told the Press Association: "While I was chief whip I cycled in and out through the main gates of Downing Street on the way to Parliament on many occasions.
"There are pictures on the internet of another Cabinet minister doing precisely the same thing."

Rookie Old Dominion strutted into Colonial Athletic Association football last season and promptly earned a national playoff bid in the Championship Subdivision's most rugged conference. Wednesday the CAA formally introduced two new members capable of equally stunning entrances.
Stony Brook and Albany not only made the 2011 playoffs but also collided in the first round, Stony Brook prevailing against its state rival 31-28. Once colleagues in the Northeast Conference, they'll reunite in the CAA come 2013.
"This isn't just filling out a roster to get an extra conference game," CAA commissioner Tom Yeager said during a media teleconference. "These are two programs that have distinguished themselves as champions."
Rocked by the defections of ODU, Georgia State, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and the demise of programs at Hofstra and Northeastern, Yeager and CAA football were like cross-country truckers at 3 a.m.: They needed a jolt.
The commissioner delivered. He targeted the Seawolves and Great Danes — they will be football-only members — for their pedigree and geography, and sold them on leaving their respective football homes: the Big South for Stony Brook and Northeast Conference for Albany.
This he did transparently, keeping his Big South and NEC colleagues, Kyle Kallander and Noreen Morris, apprised.
Also, with these two New York teams fortifying a Northeast precinct that includes Maine, New Hampshire, Villanova and Delaware, Yeager has invited Rhode Island to reconsider its move to the NEC and remain part of the CAA.
"This alignment will really solidify (Championship Subdivision) football in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic for a long time," Yeager said.
With a Southern flank that includes William and Mary, Richmond, James Madison and Towson, CAA football will, depending on Rhode Island, have 10 or 11 teams for 2013 and beyond. Those programs will play an eight-game conference schedule that will test Stony Brook and Albany like never before.
"We believe that the CAA is the best FCS conference," said Stony Brook president Samuel Stanley Jr. "I think all the evidence points to that."
The evidence includes a record five playoff teams three times in the last five seasons, and national championships for Massachusetts, Delaware, James Madison, Richmond and Villanova. Dating to when it was called the Yankee Conference, the CAA has produced multiple playoff teams each of the last 21 years.
Conversely, the Big South and Northeast Conference did not begin to receive automatic bids for their champions until 2010.
"The CAA clearly has the history, the tradition, the expectations to get multi bids," Stony Brook athletic director Jim Fiore said. "Once you get into the postseason, as we learned this past year — we got into the second round and lost late (34-27) to a really good Sam Houston State team. We could have/should have won that game.
"Once you get into postseason, anything can happen. Certainly we saw that in baseball. … We just need to get access to that tournament."
Seamheads will recall Stony Brook's improbable run to June's College World Series. The Seawolves also boast Lucy Van Dalen, the 2011 NCAA indoor mile champion who made New Zealand's Olympic team in the 1,500 meters.
"We want to compete for a national championship in football," Fiore said.
The nation's highest-scoring team last season at 38 points per game, Stony Brook might well contend this year. The Seawolves return running back Miguel Maysonet (1,633 yards rushing) and quarterback Kyle Essington (20 touchdown passes, four interceptions), and are No. 9 in Phil Steele's preseason poll.
Stony Brook coach Chuck Priore, a wishbone fullback at Albany, believes the CAA will attract even better players to his program.
"At the end of the day, (prospects) want to play against the best competition and have the best opportunity to be successful," he said. "I think that will allow us to be in some homes of some kids that probably in the past we weren't able to get into."
Stony Brook (four consecutive winning seasons) and Albany (six straight) are accustomed to CAA competition. Playing teams such as Hofstra, Maine, UMass, Delaware and Richmond, the Seawolves are 1-7 against the conference in the last five years, the Great Danes 3-6.
"But it's one thing to play those schools (occasionally)," said Albany coach Bob Ford, entering his 40th season. "It's an entirely different thing to play Villanova, James Madison and Delaware three weeks in a row.
"I would think that will have a little bit of residual effect upon our kids as we start getting into that level of competition. And it will probably take us a period of time to catch up with the recruits that we need to compete on that level on a weekly basis."
Yeager did not rule out further football additions, but with the recent losses of basketball powers ODU (to Conference USA) and VCU (to the Atlantic 10), not to mention George Mason's flirtation with the A-10, his attention likely turns to the roundball.
College of Charleston and Davidson anyone?
"Basketball," Yeager said, "is another day."
That day is coming soon.

Bay Area quilt show stitches WWII Home Front history
By Kathryn Loosli Pritchett
Posted: 03/13/2014 12:00:00 PM PDT1 Comment
Former World War II Home Front worker Marian McKey Sousa, who drafted blueprints at the Richmond Shipyards, smiles while aboard the USS Iowa in Richmond during a ceremony commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack on Dec. 11, 2011. Paul Sakuma/AP
During World War II, the Richmond Shipyards were places where women developed new skills and contributed to the war effort on the home front. Their stories and others from that period are told in a quilt show being presented next weekend in a former Ford plant on the Marina Bay, where jeeps and tanks were built.
At Craneway Pavilion, "Voices in Cloth 2014" will feature more than 200 quilts and garments from Northern California quilters, including a special exhibit of 30 quilts that tell stories about the home front.
Rosemary Corbin, former mayor of Richmond and one of the co-chairs for the show, says the home front theme for the special exhibit seemed appropriate, since the Craneway is part of the Rosie the Riveter World War II Home Front National Historical Park. Its visitor center is right next door to the pavilion.
Jeanie Low's A Salute to the Richmond Shipyard Workers: Leon Chooey is part of the "Voices in Cloth 2014, Extraordinary Quilts by the Bay" exhibit. (World WarII Home Front Quilts Project)
"Many quilters in the area have memories of their families or friends working in the shipyards or being affected in other ways by the war here at home," says Corbin, a docent at the center.
"The home front period has tremendous significance, because during that time, the workforce was integrated, women were brought into nontraditional jobs, the child care movement began, managed health care got its start, and the civil rights movement began," she says.
Organizers from the show's sponsor, the East Bay Heritage Quilters guild, issued a challenge to quilters throughout the West to tell the stories of civilian wartime life in their quilts
"Though I know quite a bit about the period, I learned a lot through these quilts," Corbin says. "Quilters did a lot of research and shared family stories that aren't found in the history books."
San Francisco quilt maker Jeanie Low created a quilt about her Chinese immigrant father, Leon Chooey, who worked as a welder building Liberty and Victory ships in Richmond.
"My dad always spoke Chinese to us at home and never talked about his time working at the shipyard. So I never realized he understood English until after he died. I found records that showed he had to write out simple facts in English to work at the shipyard," Low says. She used to play with ration tokens and steel pennies from that time around the house, she adds, but didn't realize what they were.
After reading the quilt-challenge rules, Low says, she decided to place an appliquéd image of a Liberty ship on a hand-painted background, along with stenciled silhouettes of male and female workers.
"I dyed the background fabric sunset colors, since the ships would set off at sunset to travel under the cover of darkness, and embellished the quilt with ration tokens, steel pennies and metal buttons that say 'military equipment' in French on them," Low. says. She used only materials already in her quilting stash. "I named the ship the Leon Chooey, because I found out that the Liberty ships were named for everyday people."
Marie Strait, president of the board of directors for the San Jose Museum of Quilts and Textiles and a juror for this show, selected Low's quilt for a Juror's Choice award. She says the variety of surface design techniques, subtle silhouettes and embellishment really caught her eye.
Strait has seen a growing number quilt challenges, both nationally and internationally, over the past three or four years. "These tend to be smaller quilts with a story to tell -- say, commemorating the founding of Grand Central Station," she says. "Many quilters (have) produced all the bed quilts we'll ever use, but we still ... want to keep doing what we love, just on a smaller scale."
All of the quilts submitted for the show, Strait says, had enough technical merit to be included. They're especially interesting, she adds, because they present a local perspective on history happening in our backyards.
"Quiltmakers -- both now and then -- are primarily women, and women's stories are a significant part of the home front movement," she says.
Other quilts in the exhibit depict the sending of magazines, letters and other morale boosters to the front lines. Some depict the Women's Baseball League, others the devastating effects of Japanese internment camps. Several focus on the "Rosies" -- the women who stepped up to build ships.
El Sobrante's Marian McKey Sousa, who also works at the center, is one of them. Sousa, 88, learned about the quilt challenge when an organizer came in to post a flyer. Though Sousa never had quilted before, she decided to use needle and thread to depict a blueprint of a Liberty ship -- something she drafted in the Richmond Shipyards during the war.
"At the time, I had a high school teacher who recommended I take a six-week drafting class at UC Berkeley, and that's where I learned to draw blueprints," Sousa says. "We produced 740 ships in less than four years. ... No other shipyard could equal it."
Sousa's two sisters were welders, and her mother joined the painters union. "Mom would do the prep work ahead of the painters," Sousa says. "I remember her wrapping her legs in Ace bandages to keep warm and that her hands were pretty awful looking in those years."
Sousa suffers from arthritis in her hands, and she struggles with cataracts. She says making the quilt was a challenge, but she still wanted to commemorate that chapter of her life.
"Everyone was so patriotic; there was a lot of spirit and can-do attitude," she says. "We were the workforce when the guys went off to war. We were needed."

Sick Leave
8420.1 Eligibility and Accrual Rates
Fiscal faculty, academic faculty, and unclassified exempt staff, who are appointed to 100 percent full-time-equivalency (FTE), earn 10 hours (1.25 days) of sick leave per month of employment. Unclassified non-exempt employees appointed to 100 percent FTE earn 4.62 hours of sick leave per bi-weekly pay period. Personnel in these categories appointed on less than 100 percent FTE contracts earn sick leave on a prorated basis.
Fiscal and academic faculty and unclassified exempt staff who are employed for a partial month either at the beginning or termination of employment or who work a partial month because of unpaid leave status will accrue sick leave prorated on the basis of actual days worked during that month.
Classified non–exempt staff earn 4.6 hours of sick leave for every 80 hours in active pay status.
There is no limit to the amount of sick leave an employee may accrue.
Sick leave accrual is not credited to the employee or available for use until after the pay period in which it is earned has been completed. An employee who wishes to use sick leave during a given pay period, but has not earned that sick leave until the end of that pay period, will not be paid for sick leave hours taken and may be considered to be in an unauthorized, unpaid leave status. Employees in unauthorized, unpaid leave status will be considered to have abandoned their job and be subject to progressive disciplinary action up to and including termination.
8420.2 Legitimate Uses of Sick Leave
Sick leave may not be approved or used instead of vacation leave. Sick leave may be requested and granted only for the following reasons:
Illness/injury of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family that requires the attendance of the employee. The university may require a physician's statement certifying that the employee's attendance was required. The immediate family normally includes spouse, grandparents, father, father-in-law, mother, mother in-law, child, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, brother, brother-in-law, sister, sister-in-law, grandchild, a legal guardian or person who stands in place of the parent, and a registered domestic partner.
A domestic partnership is defined as a committed relationship between two adults, regardless of gender, who are domiciled together. A signed affidavit describing the characteristics of a domestic relationship must be on file in the Department of Human Resources prior to use of sick leave.
Exposure of the employee to a contagious disease which could be communicated to and jeopardize the health of other employees. Such a request for sick leave must be reported immediately to the Leave and Disability Coordinator in the Department of Human Resources for approval. This notice must include proof of both exposure and potential contagion.
Medical, psychological, dental, or optical examination of the employee or a member of the employee's immediate family that requires the attendance of the employee. When the appointment requires the attendance or the full day absence of the employee, the university may require proof of the required attendance of the employee, or the full day absence. Employees must communicate with their supervisors to schedule planned medical appointments in a manner that minimizes departmental disruption due to the absence.
Death of a member of the employee's immediate family. Paid absence is limited to five days. Supervisors may require reasonable proof to justify the use of sick leave for the purpose of bereavement.
Sick leave with pay may be requested and approved only for leave already earned. Except for qualifying Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) absences, employees may not be in an unauthorized, unpaid leave status. Employees in unauthorized, unpaid leave status will be considered to have abandoned their job and will be subject to progressive disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Sick leave payment may not exceed scheduled earnings and may only be charged for days the employee is normally scheduled to work.
8420.3 Authorization
Use of sick leave for all university employees must be approved by the employee's supervisor or the supervisor's official designee after submission of a Leave Request Form available online at www.wright.edu/hr. When necessary, other appropriate and required documentation as stipulated by university policy may accompany the form.
When an employee has prior knowledge of the necessity to use sick leave, he/she should complete a Leave Request Form available online at www.wright.edu/hr and present it to his/her supervisor for approval.
An employee who is unable to report to work shall notify his/her supervisor or other designated person. Notification should be given before the employee's work time, if possible, but in no case should it be later than one-half hour after the time the employee is scheduled to report to work. In departments of the university which operate twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, notification should be given two hours before the time the employee is scheduled to report to work. Supervisors, directors, and department chairs should inform all personnel reporting to them in writing of any specific notification procedures required in their areas for use of sick leave.
All employees are required to furnish a satisfactory written justification for use of sick leave on a Leave Request Form available online at www.wright.edu/hr. This justification must constitute an authorized use of sick leave based on 8420.2a above. Failure to provide justification for the authorized use of sick leave will be grounds for denial of the use of sick leave, and/or disciplinary action up to and including termination.
If professional medical attention is required by the employee or member of the employee's immediate family, or if the employee is absent more than three consecutive work days, a certificate from a licensed physician verifying the employee's inability to report to work may be required. The decision to approve or deny sick leave shall be made after the supervisor has received the required documentation, and such approval is discretionary. The documentation and Leave Request Form shall be submitted on the day of return from sick leave, if approval has not been granted in advance. Failure to request sick leave in advance when possible may be grounds for disciplinary action.
Managers and/or supervisors must immediately notify Human Resources' Leave and Disability Coordinator upon any employee's medical or unpaid absence of more than three work days.
8420.4 Records of Accrual and Use
Records of sick leave usage for fiscal faculty and unclassified staff are to be recorded and reported monthly by a designated record keeper in each primary department. The designated recordkeeper is responsible for maintaining the Leave Request Forms for all personnel reporting to that unit. By the seventh day of each month, designated record keeper shall compile the Sick Leave and Vacation hours used from the previous month, complete a Sick Leave/Vacation Summary and submit the form to the appropriate representatives in teh Department of Human Resources.
Approved sick leave usage for all absences for fiscal faculty and unclassified exempt staff are deducted from the prior balance by the representative in the Department of Human Resources. The resulting balance will be available for viewing in WINGS Express. Usage, however, is typically one month in arrears. For example, the balance reported on June 30 will typically include accruals through the end of June and usage through the end of May.
Leave Request Forms for all employees shall be kept in the employee's department for auditing purposes for a period of two years. Only original Leave Request Forms for parental and unpaid leave, and sick and vacation leave used in the context of FMLA must be forwarded to the Leave and Disability Coordinator in the Department of Human Resources.
The Department of Human Resources maintains sick leave balances in the Human Resources Information System. Employee sick leave balances are available online in WINGS Express.
8420.5 Transfer of Accrued Sick Leave
When a new employee has qualifying prior service with another Ohio State Agency, accrued sick leave will be transferred from the applicable Ohio State Agency provided the time between separation and reappointment does not exceed ten years. Upon employment, the employee will provide a letter from the applicable Ohio State Agency that documents the date of separation and the sick leave balance at the time of separation.
When a former Wright State University employee begins employment with another Ohio state agency, accrued sick leave will be transferred to that Ohio state agency, provided the time between separation and reappointment does not exceed ten years. The Department of Human Resources will provide documentation of the former employee's date of separation and the sick leave balance upon separation, upon the written request of the former employee.
8420.6 Retirement and Death Payment of Sick Leave
After ten years of state service and upon retirement or death, an employee or his/her estate may receive a cash settlement equivalent to one-fourth of the value of accrued but unused sick leave up to a maximum of one-fourth of 120 days. In no case shall payment exceed 30 days (240 hours). Payment is based upon the employee's rate of compensation at the time of retirement or death. Such payment eliminates all sick leave credit of the employee.
A retirement payout for sick leave shall be made only once to any employee. An employee who returns to state service after retirement and receipt of cash payment for sick leave credit may accrue and use sick leave as before, but may not receive a cash settlement for the unused sick leave at the time of a second retirement.
8420.7 Termination/Separation/Retirement Accrual Record
When a fiscal faculty member or unclassified staff member separates from the university, the supervisor or recordkeeper in the primary department shall forward the record of sick leave usage that occurred during the last month of employment to the appropriate Human Resources representative in the Department of Human Resources. The information shall be used to reconcile the employee's sick leave balance and determine the amount of payment due, providing the employee is eligible for such payment, and/or to maintain accurate record of accrual for transfer to another Ohio state agency.
8420.8 Patterned Sick Leave Abuse, Excessive Uncertified Sick Leave Usage and Intent to Defraud
The university defines patterned sick leave usage as including, but not being limited to, repeating usage before or after weekends, holidays, vacations or compensatory time, and prompt usage after the accrual of sick time, as well as repeated usage on the same day of the week or time of the day and during peak workload and critical project periods. Managers must monitor employee use of sick leave for patterns of abuse. Employees abusing their sick leave are subject to progressive disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Employees with frequent occurrences of sick leave without the usage of such leave being certified by a physician are subject to progressive disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Application for use of sick leave with the intent to defraud shall be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
Sick leave absences that are supported by a physician's statement that expressly excuses the absence, or that qualify as family and medical leave or worker's compensation will not be used to determine sick leave abuse.

Dear Annie: We live in a small rural community where sports help keep the kids off the streets. My 14-year-old son loves sports. He is well-rounded, makes excellent grades and has good friends. This year, he is again on the school basketball team, but he is the only one who sits on the bench. He doesn't say much, but I can tell he is discouraged. While the team has a couple of "stars," most are at the same skill level as my son.
His mother is so upset about this that she wants to go to the school board. Someone mentioned that my son is being punished because he missed a practice during Christmas break. He told his coaches ahead of time that he would be gone. Before the break, he played about one minute per game. He hasn't played at all since.
Should parents step up to the coaches and risk further "punishment"? This is his first year with these particular coaches. Are they just testing him? Why would such terrible treatment make him want to play next year? — Upset Dad
Dear Dad: Some coaches believe this type of punishment is a test of a player's resolve — a "take it like a man" mentality. We think it is ill-advised, particularly at the high school level, and discourages kids who are not into macho mind games. Some schools give coaches complete autonomy over the sports programs, but this can lead to all kinds of abuses. Before getting involved, however, we urge you to discuss this with your son. While he undoubtedly appreciates your support and concern, he may prefer to handle this in his own way, and we hope you will respect his decision.
Dear Annie: Will you speak to my wife of 30 years? She has many wonderful attributes, and I love her. She is, however, late for everything. Our families and friends learned to accept her tardiness for social engagements. But I cannot abide being late for church every week. With all eyes upon us, we must edge past everyone in order to find a seat. I hate doing this after the service has started.
We live only 10 minutes away, so I can't understand why my wife isn't ready on time. Even if she doesn't care about herself, I am humiliated that she has so little regard for me and the people we have to climb over every week to reach a seat. It puts me in the wrong frame of mind for church.
I've told her this is important to me, but she scoffs and does the same thing the following week. Will you please tell her to get ready on time? — Losing My Religion
Dear Losing: Some procrastinators simply have difficulty with organizational skills, and nothing will change if they aren't willing to work on it. But we think your wife enjoys the attention she gets by arriving late to social functions. Since church is a particular issue, we strongly suggest you attend separately. Arrange transportation if necessary, and then go on your own so you can arrive on time. And save a seat for your wife.
Dear Annie: I have some input for "Only Child in Massachusetts," the 70-year-old woman who stated it was beneficial to be the only child.
I have three sisters. Growing up was a challenge. We had to share clothes, bathroom time, telephone time and other luxuries. We fought like cats and dogs, but we learned the value of sharing, laughing and communicating in ways only siblings can.
Growing up, I sometimes wished I were the only child. But now, I would not want it any other way. My sisters and I are very close and talk to each other daily. Do we still fight? Yes. But instead of hitting each other on the arm, we phone and laugh about it. The relationship we have is treasured and special. — Middle Sis

Tag : Baby Animal Prints
Cute Baby Boy Nursery Decor features Baby Animal Art Over Crib by Christine Elliott Designs
By Bruce WayneI love the animal theme applied in this nursery room, not only because it fits with a baby room's concept but also the way the designer tries to put the animal print in some elements of the room. I think the designer smartly places the animal pictures in certain way so the room does not feel boring but bright and calm. I love the animal printed bed with turquoise border and ribbons and the panda doll on it. Thanks to the black wood crib, the crib feels balance yet cheerful. Moreover, the baby animal art over the crib completes the animal theme. The animal painting looks cute with wide white frame.

KERMIT, W.Va. — Health officials have temporarily shut down a southern West Virginia pizza restaurant after a district manager was caught on surveillance video urinating into a sink.
The Mingo County health department on Tuesday ordered the Pizza Hut in Kermit, about 85 miles southwest of Charleston, to shut down. A department notice posted on the restaurant's door said conditions in the restaurant constituted a substantial public health hazard.
The video posted on YouTube and media websites shows the manager urinating in a metal sink in a food preparation area. The video is dated Jan. 29.
Pizza Hut said the incident occurred after business hours.
The Kermit restaurant is owned by Wichita, Kan.-based Rage Inc. The company's website says it owns Pizza Huts in seven states. In West Virginia, it also has locations in Ceredo, Chapmanville, Danville and two in Logan.
Rage referred questions to Pizza Hut Corp. spokesman Doug Terfehr, who issued a statement saying the company was "embarrassed by the actions of this individual."
"Pizza Hut has zero tolerance for violations of our operating standards, and the local owner of the restaurant took immediate action and terminated the employee involved," the statement said. "While the isolated incident occurred during non-business hours and did not involve any food tampering, we follow strict safety and handling procedures and the restaurant has since been closed. We apologize to our customers of Kermit, West Virginia and those in our system who have been let down by this situation."
The employee's name wasn't released.
The firing was first reported by WOWK-TV. County health official Brett Vance told the station the restaurant will remain closed until it is thoroughly cleaned and there are reassurances of safeguards in place.

Commerzbank to cut up to 6,000 jobs
- Commerzbank is Germany%27s second-biggest bank
- Bank expects to cut between 4%2C000 and 6%2C000 jobs by 2016
- Bank didn%27t specify where jobs might be cut
BERLIN (AP) — Germany's second-biggest bank, Commerzbank AG, says it plan to cut as many as 6,000 jobs over the next three years as it tries to reduce costs.
Commerzbank said in a statement Thursday that it expects to cut between 4,000 and 6,000 jobs by 2016. The company had some 56,000 employees in total at the end of September.
The exact number of job cuts will be determined in negotiations with employee representatives, starting in February.
Commerzbank has been on a long road to recovery since it was bailed out in 2009 by the German government, which still owns 25%. The job cuts stem from a program launched in November to invest in the lender's core business while also reducing personnel costs.
The bank didn't specify where jobs might be cut.

Seeing how its been almost four weeks since my last post, I thought I'd post a little update to say we are all moved into our new house. Yes, even the two storage units we filled while staging our old house have been emptied! I can't say that everything has found its place here yet, but its all here in our new house (or at the very least, in the garage).
We've actually made quite a bit of progress in the three weeks since we've been here. I've unpacked the kitchen (definitely a necessity), and even hung several pictures on the walls — though am nowhere near being done with that. I've also moved a few of my potted plants — zucchini and watermelon — into the garden (which was full of grass and weeds nearly up to our knees until Jody mowed and rototilled it — several times). And this week I even started landscaping the front yard which has been quite the project. I thought the soil at our last house was bad, but its even worse here. All. Clay. All. The. Time. So digging in clay mixed with a ton of river rock has proven to be quite the challenge for me, but I'm making
it my bitch headway and hope to have it mostly completed tomorrow. Jody's been getting his workbench set up in the garage and working on organizing the remaining boxes in the garage. We have quite a bit of storage space here. We just need to figure out what is going where and move it to its appropriate place.
In addition to hosting my mom in the new house who was visiting from Michigan for two weeks, we also hosted our first party here. It wasn't a housewarming party as you may suspect (that's still to come), but a belated sixth birthday party for Ava. She turned six back in June, but I really wanted to wait until we moved and had more space (and less to stress about) to have her party. I'm so glad I did! The party — which was a Pancakes and Pajamas theme (
stolen borrowed from Crazy Bloggin' Canuck Amber) — was great! There was plenty of space for the kids to play in the backyard and it never felt cramped in the house or outside. In addition to dressing in PJs and having a pancake bar (with lots of toppings), we incorporated other letter "P" things into the party like a Princess Pinata, Painting little flower Pots, a Penny dig in the sandbox, and my sister read "If You Give A Pig A Pancake" to the kids before we ate the pancakes. It was a lot of fun.
Its kind of amazing how much life we've lived here in the three short weeks since we moved in. I think about all of the times we've already played baseball in the backyard, when we tried to watch the fireworks from the back deck in the pouring rain, arranging the furniture, rearranging the furniture, rearranging the furniture again(!), all of the love the swing set has received from the kids, all of the meals eaten in this kitchen, etc. and it feels like we've been here a lot longer than we have. I think that's a good sign. It means we've fit right into this house. This house feels right for us and I know we will make many, many more memories in it.

The lighted window shows the room
so warm and softly glowing,
The tree so tall with twinkling lights
And all the presents showing.
While just outside a starving cat
Stands shivering in the cold,
And down the street a stray dog limps,
So tired and sick and old.
The baby monkey in the lab
Lets out a cry of fear.
The thing he thought was mother
Shot out quills when he drew near.
The car speeds by, the puppy cries
And drags her broken leg.
The beaver in the leghold trap
Lifts pain-filled eyes that beg.
How can we speak of peace on earth
And know these things are so,
And say they don't concern us
And we ought to let them go?
How can we think we have the right
To torture needlessly,
When all the time we know so well
It shouldn't have to be.
Come join with us at Christmas time
And pledge ourselves anew.
They need our help so badly,
There's so much that we can do.
Don't turn your back upon their pain
Because it's hard to see.
They have no other place to turn,
They've only you and me.

Kuala Lumpur: Sheikh Salman Bin Ebrahim Al Khalifa will run Asian soccer for the next two years after the Bahraini won a three-way election for the presidency of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) on Thursday. Sheikh Salman secured 33 votes of the 46 available from the AFC's member associations in Malaysia to beat Yousuf Al Serkal of the United Arab Emirates (six votes) and Thailand's Worawi Makudi (seven votes).
Outsider Hafez Al Medlej of Saudi Arabia unsurprisingly withdrew on the eve of the vote after failing to win full support of the West Asian region. Sheikh Salman replaces Qatari Mohamed Bin Hammam, who was banned for life by FIFA in 2011 amid allegations of trying to buy votes. The AFC has been in limbo ever since, with China's Zhang Jilong's interim leadership beset by numerous match-fixing and graft scandals among member associations.
Sepp Blatter, the president of world governing body FIFA, said earlier on Thursday it was time for Asian soccer to move forward. "It is a historical day because it is a day of election, a day of election in your confederation that has been in a difficult situation during the past two years," said Blatter.
"And together you have overcome all these difficulties and now you are in this situation where you are going to have a restart. But I would identify this restart as an intermediary restart because then the right start will be in two years in 2015 ... you have two more years to put your house in order." Blatter added.
The shorter two-year term on offer to the winner of the vote is a result of Bin Hammam's exit. The Qatari had been elected unopposed as AFC president for a third four-year term in 2011.
The FIFA president also praised the job done by China's Zhang in leading the AFC during turbulent times. "He did a very good job in a very difficult situation, showed a lot of commitment in a period, as you know very well, wasn't very easy for the AFC. Maybe we should regret he is no longer in this position, but it was his decision to give it back. He deserves, from the Asian community, a special reward."
Northern Mariana Islands were not entitled to vote as an associate member, while Brunei were approved voting rights after winning a motion at the start of the congress despite not taking part in the required two AFC competitions in the last two years.

I have MySQL 5.5 installed via packages.dotdeb.org. When trying to update 5.1, which is also installed, I get the following error:
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/mysql-client-core-5.1_5.1.66-0ubuntu0.11.10.2_amd64.deb: trying to overwrite '/usr/share/man/man1/mysqlcheck.1.gz', which is also in package mysql-client-core-5.5 5.5.28-1~dotdeb.0
I'm unsure how to proceed. I installed 5.1 before learning how to get more up-to-date packages in Mint's update/package manager. I don't want to keep 5.1 since I do have 5.5, but I'm concerned that removing it via
apt will mess up my 5.5 installation. Can I safely remove 5.1? If not, how should I proceed?

Hey guys.
Ever thought about making a movie?
Interviewing some of your friends?
Editing together a montage or highlight video?
Want tips, tricks, advice?
As a professional camera operator, engineer, and producer, I'm at your disposal!
Hey guys.
Ever thought about making a movie?
Interviewing some of your friends?
Editing together a montage or highlight video?
Want tips, tricks, advice?
As a professional camera operator, engineer, and producer, I'm at your disposal!
No that's a fair question to ask and I probably should have mentioned something in my OP.
Here's a brief look at my résumé:
I've been doing video for roughly seven years. Graduated with honors in Radio/TV broadcasting with a concentration in Sports in Society.
I'm an award winning producer, from the National Broadcasting Society for my work on a weekly sports magazine program akin to SportsCenter on ESPN. I also won for a trailer I edited together for a short exposé I did on concussions in the NFL featuring neurologists who specialize in concussions, former NFL players and broadcasters.
I also shot several other documentaries and short films while in college.
After graduating I started my own production company which has completed several commercials for local businesses as well as helped provide video assistance for local events and private clients. I partnered with a college recruiting firm to provide video highlights, shot and edited, for parents of high school students to send to coaches.
I've been employed by several professional teams across all major sports, including the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB. I've also worked for a non-profit new organization, but I highly suggest anyone thinking of that to never do it.
Currently I'm employed at one of the busiest arenas in the tri-state area as a camera operator and engineer as well at one of the area's regional sports networks as a camera operator, engineer, and audio technician. I have experience working in a studio environment as well as the field. Almost every job from Grip to Director I've done at one time or another.
What was the costliest mistake you made in your career, that helped you learn more about your line of work?
The first was at an arena. I was doing camera at the typical broadcast angle for hockey. We have a specific time we need to be out on the floor ready to shoot because our video is used for the center-hung above the ice as well as all monitors throughout the building. For personal reasons I won't get into, I did not make it out in time to man my station for Pregame warm ups. I assumed I would have enough time to do what I needed to do and get out. I was severely mistaken.
I received an earfull from my director and then from the director of event production for the arena. See, especially in the broadcasting business, a call time is sacred. I prided myself on always being early, because to be late to a call time was perhaps the greatest sin a broadcaster could ever commit. I was essentially thrown in the doghouse after that and I was relieved when I realized they hadn't fired me over the incident. I think that was only due to the fact that up until that point I had an exceptional rapport with them as a normally reliable guy.
The second mistake was when I was asked by a few parents to tape a soccer game and then use the video to make a highlight reel. I charge parents $125 per shoot and $35/hour for editing for those kinds of things. So here comes the day of the event and I get my camera equipment and head out an hour away from my home to tape this thing. I had a couple of HD Cam tapes in my car so I figured I would just use those since they hadn't been used.
So I get there and start setting up my equipment, goin through all my checks about a half hour before the game. I first realize that my battery level was only giving me an estimated 40 minutes of power. A typical soccer game lasts about 90. I look through my bags and I realize I never packed a back-up battery. Unfortunately these arent the types of batteries you just walk into your local Best Buy and just pick up off the shelf. These are professional batteries which either need to be ordered or picked up at a specialty store, which I had no idea where to find one where I was.
I convince myself that I can still do this by conserving battery where I could, between stoppages of time and during lulls in the game. So I then put in one of my tapes and record on it as one of my other tests. I then recieve an error message that the tape deck wasn't clean. But I had seen that message before and I instantly remembered what happened. Leaving tapes in your car is the worst idea in the world. Tapes are temperature sensitive, and in a car, temperatures can fluctuate between hot and cold in extreme fashion when they're just sittin out in the elements. By leaving the tapes in my car I had essentially destroyed them and I was left with no stock to tape the games.
I then had to approach the parents and inform them that I would be unable to tape the game and left. I lost out on a lot of money because I did not properly prepare myself the day before and waited until it was game time to do checks on my equipment. And that hurts my reputation among parents. Luckily I was able to make a come-back this year and got a decent amount of business during the Fall Sports cycle, but now I'm extra careful about my equipment.
OK since I am really interested in studying on the film industry...when I go back to college, what kind of classes should I take in order to learn more about film? I am hoping they are available since I still have an interest in film.

I believe I've seen what you're talking about in a few smartphone commercials where it appears the lens itself is moving in a circular motion inside the camera based on how the camera itself is being maneuvered in 3D space. Essentially it makes the lens act like a biological eye with a vestibulo-ocular reflex that stabilizes images on the retina during head movement in a similar fashion as you're describing. Aside from that though I don't think I know nearly enough about that particular bit of technology.
thanks so much for the tips, term! I actually took a film studies class in my senior year of high school and it was a really good class, I learned a lot from it. I will keep your advice in mind for when I re-apply for college.
While you mostly do sports, are you interested in cinematography and the effects of color palettes? Are there any movies that had particular palettes or shots you were inspired by?
Well when you start talking cinematography and color palettes, you'd be remiss not to mention Stanley Kubrick. Dude had vision and knew how to play with colors to help emphasize the tone of his films. The deep reds and blacks in 2001: A Space Odyssey, the gold and silver of decadence for Eyes Wide Shut, I could go on haha. The Coen Brothers I feel also have a great sense of color in their films, particularly Fargo and No Country for Old Men. Color also played a huge role in the movie Buried which has Ryan Reynolds spend the entire film in a coffin six feet underground and the various light sources change the color of the film playing on the emotions of both the main character and the audience. Extremely well done.
As far as shots, I've always been a fan of long drawn out tracking shots. One of the best accomplished shots like this was actually in the comedy Waiting where the camera flys around the restaurant looking into a typical dinner service and we get to listen in on the conversations of the staff and customers alike (that movie holds a special place in my heart because I used to work at a bar and grill and it pretty much hit the nail on the head of what it's like in that world).
Without going into a long list, I'll leave with one of the movies that's touched me the most as something which is inspiring on multiple levels and that's 12 Angry Men. The movie for almost the entire run time takes place in a single room. Yet the angles the camera shoots at as well as the few actual moves the camera makes just helps build the tension you feel as these men decide the fate of a young man accused of murder. And it's in black and white!

Man beaten, robbed on State Street
Victim and attacker were involved in earlier confrontation
MADISON, Wis. — A Madison man told police he was beaten and robbed by two men in the 600 block of State Street early Sunday morning.
Police said 26-year-old victim was punched to the ground and kicked by the two men before 2 a.m. The victim said he was either knocked out or passed out because of alcohol consumption.
He said when he awoke, his wallet and cellphone were missing.
He said one of the attackers was someone who he had gotten into a brief confrontation with in a bar earlier the same night.
One of the attackers is described as white, 21 to 24 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet tall, weighing 180 to 200 pounds, with blond hair, a medium build, beard and moustache and wearing a black hoodie and a black "beanie" style hat.

In order to deeply enjoy quiet atmosphere and scenic setting on the beach, Cycling and Trekking will be a good suggestion for the trip on Halong Bay...
1, Overview
Halong Bay and Cat Ba Island is ideal trekking and cycling destinations to explore wild nature of the area around. There are lots of rare animals to sea, including green and hawksbill turtles and golden-headed languor monkeys. Visitors can choose from various trek routes, either way it is an impressive experience. When trekking on the beach, tourists will be free to enjoy cozy white sandy ground and gaze stunning seascape of Halong. We suggest the trekking in Ban Sen Island, Quan lan Island, Cat Ba Island and Titov Island (short). You can cycle in some fishing village such as Viet Hai village, Cat Ba island, Tuan Chau island.Soi Sim beach >> Sailing on the Gulf of Tonkin
One of the popular and cool things to do is a guided jungle trek in the Cat Ba National Park. It sounds quite an innocent and safe activity, but it is NOT and in fact can be quite dangerous. The guides usually offer two treks, an easier one lasting a few hours and a second more difficult one lasting at least 6 hours and far more demanding than the former. If you are not experienced, go for the first. If you do not have a reasonable level of fitness, don't go at all. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes with a good grip on the ground and clothing that does not leave any skin exposed. If possible, have a first aid box with you.cycle on the beach
Cycling in untouched regions is one of the great options for a real fishing village experience. In Halong bay, tourists will chance to visit some fishing village to explore life of fishermen and sightseeing beauty of fishing village. For travelers who love to seek real experiences deep among peaceful villages or try catching fishes. There is no better way to experience the sights smells and sounds of daily life in than by peddling slowly between lush rice paddies. Tourists could enjoy seafood to be cooked by local people and taste the perfume of the sea. It is great fun and a naturally sociable way to meet villagers and fishermen.
2, Some notice for Trekking & Cycling
Everyone needs a day pack; choose one with multiple pockets, padded shoulder straps, and large zipper closure. And make sure it's the right size: When properly adjusted, the base should sit on your hips and the top should be at least one hand-width below the base of your neck. Footwear designed specifically for hiking offers better support and traction. Choose a pair that's a half-size larger than your street shoes to allow for some swelling as you walk and to accommodate heavier hiking socks. Wear thick wool or synthetic blend socks designed to wick moisture away from the feet, as wet feet is the primary cause of blisters. Some things to keep in your day pack: first-aid kit; water bottle; Swiss Army knife; topographic map; compass; space blanket; and sweater.

Ditching fossil fuels makes economic sense despite what many U.S. politicians say, energy guru Amory Lovins told a group of business and government leaders in Atlanta last week. And while Lovins continues his 40-year push for efficient, renewable energy in America, he sees more momentum on the other side of the planet.
"There is a renewables revolution taking off in Japan," Lovins said Thursday at a roundtable talk hosted by the environmental nonprofit Southface. "Japan is poor in traditional fuels, but it's the richest in renewables potential of any industrial nation."
And while many industrial nations balk at abandoning the oil, coal and gas that made them rich, Lovins thinks that could soon change if Japan's newly announced energy makeover — which aims to phase out nuclear power by the 2030s, focusing more on renewables and efficiency — goes as planned. "If the nation with the sacred sun on its flag can do this," he said, "then it will lead the whole world."
Lovins spoke at the roundtable before giving another speech Thursday night at Southface's 14th annual "Visionary Dinner" (see video below). Similar to a popular TED talk he gave in May, both discussions echoed many of the arguments from his 2011 book, "Reinventing Fire," in which he outlines how the U.S. can end its dependence on fossil fuels by 2050. And while the book concentrates on America, Lovins said it "could also work for many other countries, including Japan."
The Atlanta appearances preface an upcoming tour of Asia for Lovins, in which he'll visit several countries to discuss ideas for improving energy production, transmission and consumption. But perhaps his most anticipated visit will be to Japan, where the aftermath of last year's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear crisis has created a rare opening for renewables and efficiency. The country's interest in Lovins was already apparent in Atlanta, as a camera crew from Japanese broadcaster NHK shadowed him for a documentary, titled "Energy Shift," that's scheduled to air Nov. 2.
Lovins discusses green-building design with the NHK film crew at Southface's Eco Office campus.
This international intrigue isn't new for Lovins. As co-founder of the Rocky Mountain Institute and a longtime energy consultant, he's spent decades dealing with global energy issues; according to his RMI bio, he has "briefed 21 heads of state, given expert testimony in eight countries and 20+ states, delivered thousands of lectures, and written 31 books and more than 450 papers." He also quickly saw Japan's potential after the Fukushima crisis, writing in a March 2011 op-ed that "perhaps this tragedy will call Japan to global leadership into a post-nuclear world."
While Japan may be more open to an energy shift than the U.S. is, both could phase out finite fuels like uranium and coal without economic harm, Lovins said at Thursday's roundtable. It's actually in their best interest, he added, since nonrenewable fuels are costly to extract and will eventually run out. "They're not embedded in the economy because it's cheaper to leave them in the ground," he said. "Smart investors are diversifying to get out of that business and into something much more durable."
The shift to renewable energy won't happen overnight, Lovins acknowledged, but he pointed out that countries can still make improvements in the meantime by using current fuels more efficiently. Energy waste has been a focus of his for decades, from designing lighter cars that use less gasoline to pushing for simpler, decentralized electrical grids. (He even coined a term 20 years ago, "negawatt," to describe a unit of saved energy.) And while political friction tends to slow the switch to new power sources, he argued Thursday that saving energy and money has bipartisan appeal. "It's hard to find people who don't like efficiency," he said.
Lovins discussed a range of ways to promote efficiency in the U.S. or anywhere, such as performance-based design of industrial facilities, self-sufficient microgrids that reduce the need for "big, vulnerable power plants," and letting companies expense their efficiency investments. He conceded "it's hard to do big things without Congress" — where many lawmakers want to end federal support for wind and solar power — but also cited smaller, subtler ways of speeding the shift to renewables, such as cities charging utilities for their water use to discourage water-intensive fossil fuels.
The future of energy is "small and granular," Lovins said, with more diversity and distribution of power sources instead of the traditional "big and lumpy" approach. Such a paradigm shift could curb the main causes of climate change, but Lovins is more focused on the economic and logistical benefits, suggesting nonrenewable fuels and inefficiencies aren't necessarily embedded in our economy — just in our heads.
"There's a lot of hidden value that's not being recognized," he said. "But once it is, you may find yourself in a much quicker transition than you thought."

Two reasons are given to explain the black drop effect here, but I think I came up with a third.
Consider a two-dimensional cross section of the situation just after second contact and just before third contact in a stellar transit.
It has many similarities to the classical single-slit experiment:
a b
Empty Space ↑ Disk of Planet Disk of Star
Edge of Disk of Star
Our slit begins at point
a and ends at
Consider that the diffraction pattern of the single-slit experiment spreads out the total energy of the light which is incident on the range of the slit over some angle. This indicates that the incident intensity of the light behind a slit is less than the intensity would be if no slit was present (and no diffraction occurs).
Could this possibly help account for the Black Drop phenomenon? Or must the "slit" be a lot smaller, such that this could not possibly contribute in any significant way? After all, the aperture in this case would be on the order of hundreds of kilometers.
Another thing that just occurred to me is that the left-edge of the star is not being obscured by anything, only the right side is. There would only be one-sided diffraction affecting our incident light intensity.

When the leading candidates for America's next presidency traded barbs this week during the first presidential debate, political operatives and energized voters were hard at work sharing opinions (and insults) on Facebook, Twitter and other social media sites. Much of today's political discourse starts on social media, and the medium often amplifies vitriol and slants information.
The 2016 presidential election isn't the first event for which social media has been used as a political tool, but today it carries tremendous weight and influence over the electorate. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump both use social to their advantages, but it's often the surrogates, supporters and influencers who shape perceptions, according to whatever views serve their preferred candidate's interests.
Social can reinforce, popularize narrow opinions
Never before has a "like," retweet or otherwise mindless online activity been so reflective of the state of American politics. Social media acts as glue for like-minded people, and it can reinforce their confirmation biases. "Psychological research shows that people really want confirmatory information," says Karen North, a clinical professor of communication and director of the digital social media program at the University of Southern California (USC). "Not only do they want to know what's up, they want to have opinions, and they want to find like-minded people to tell them why their opinion is correct. It doesn't mean the people won't change their opinion, but it feels better to find people who are supporting you and telling you why your opinion is right."
Many people seek out echo chambers on social media, according to Vincent Raynauld, assistant professor in communication studies at Emerson College in Boston. "Even though social media allows people to be exposed to different political views, people tend to be part of environments where their political opinions are constantly reinforced."
Social media democratizes information sharing, and it helps individuals with very narrow interests quickly and easily connect with others who share their beliefs, Raynauld says. Sensational headlines and memorable memes give rapid-fire politics momentum on social media, he says.
Social is the "most important platform for the millennial generation," Raynauld says. According to a survey of 3,760 U.S. adults by the Pew Research Center, 35 percent of people 18 to 29 years old say social media is the most helpful source of information on the 2016 presidential election. "It's become the go-to tool for politics, whereas older generations are still relying on traditional media," Raynauld says.
Social media reflects ugly side of voters
Social media gives people the power to organize and inform, but it's also frequently used to exhibit narcissism and ignorance, according to Brian Solis, principal analyst at Altimeter Group, a research and advisory firm. Such behavior reflects the uglier side of political discourse, he says.
Many people simply haven't learned how to be civil on social sites, according to Solis. "Instead we use the channel as a way of imposing our perspective and thrust it upon our community in ways that have been incredibly divisive and unproductive," he says. "What we're seeing is the psychological and sociological impact of social media on society."
The Clinton and Trump campaigns also expand the power of social media beyond the people who regularly use it, according to Dave Marinaccio, CEO and cofounder of marketing communications firm LMO Agency. "The campaigns can influence the traditional media by reacting to, or creating, newsworthy social content," he says. "They can engage a much larger segment of the electorate than they would solely through social media outlets. Even people who don't use social media feel its influence daily."
The 2016 presidential election through social media's lens
The average expectations of modern news and commentary also change as people gravitate toward more curated experiences, according to USC's North. The things that catch a person's attention on social media may seem serendipitous, but they often aren't random, she says. "Our friends and the platforms on which we live our digital and social lives can send us information" that stokes our passions. Political strategists can also seek out segmented audiences and feed them information in a way that is specialized to their own interests, North says.
"Social media is the hope of all political efforts these days, because it finds people wherever they are that week and that day," North says. "It is completely amplified by your social decisions online because only certain parts of what these influencers say is shared. And the stuff that's shared is probably more polarized, more interesting, more entertaining and more engaging than the stuff nobody chose to share."
Today, the medium is often an "ugly soapbox" for politics because people can easily exert their opinions with a few keystrokes, according to Solis. "It brings out the darker side of digital introverts in that we are willing to say anything … without logically thinking about its impact on what's reality and what people will think about us beyond this election."
Solis says the potential ramifications of social media on America's collective political psyche are disconcerting and worrisome. "We are not behaving like adults, and we're supposed to be leading the future of this country," he says. "We're voting for our children, and this behavior online is incredibly selfish."

My field of vision is somewhat narrow and confined to our dealership, but from what I've seen, here are the five most common planting errors thus far this spring:
1. Programming errors of seed monitors, guidance systems, mapping systems---if it's computerized and related to planting, I've seen it mis-programmed this spring. Everything from forgetting to tell the seed monitor it was planting corn (it thought it was still planting beans from last spring) to a planter that thought it was a sprayer due to incorrect programming.
2.Programming errors of seed monitors, guidance systems, mapping systems--did I mention the planter that looked like it was planting backwards on the mapping/guidance display in the cab? Or the tractor that would abruptly make a precise right turn in the middle of a pass...? Yup--programming errors.
3. Programming errors of seed monitors, guidance system, mapping systems...I used to tell customers that, "You can't hurt it," when it comes to pushing buttons on seed monitors and other on-board systems because I was confident that there were enough safety-interlocks, warnings and other built-in features designed to keep users from inadvertently losing programming or damaging the system. I no longer tell that to customers. I am now confident some of my customers could render an anvil inoperable.
4. Overconfidence in seed monitors. Seed monitors merely reflect the information that is fed into them. If ground speed, width of planter, and other variables are inaccurate, then the data displayed by the seed monitor is inaccurate. What matters is what's in the ground, not what the display SAYS is in the ground. Dig, dig, and then dig some more to confirm whether the monitor is telling the truth.
5. Junkyard avoidance. There's no other way to put it, so I apologize if I'm being rude, inconsiderate or insensitive, but...there are some planters out there that are just plain worn out. If you have seed units, marker arms, or entire wings literally falling off the planter as it's moving through the field---or if replacement parts are no longer available through the manufacturer--that's probably a sign it's time to upgrade to a more reliable machine.

Intro for July 3, 2013
Dear Gossips,
It's Tom Cruise's birthday today. He's 51. He was at Chateau Marmont last night, presumably celebrating. I've attached photos below of him leaving on his bike. In honour of his special day, I'm also attaching my favourite TC photo of all time -- you know the one. And if you don't, well, enjoy.
A year ago, Tom turned 50, suddenly single. Wisely, especially after that Vanity Fair slam-piece, Tom refrained from auditioning any girlfriends the last 12 months, sitting out an appropriate amount of time after Katie Holmes left him to put some proper distance between that relationship and whatever his next will be. WHO will that be?
Johnny Depp has Amber Heard so… Tom now has licence to expand his search – 27 and over. Well that's too bad. Ashley Greene just misses the cut by a year.
Happy Independence Day tomorrow! If you're working over the long weekend America, please know that we are here in Canada too. It's gossip-business as usual tomorrow and Friday at LaineyGossip.com. Join us if you're around.
Yours in gossip,

Coconut banana flax waffles
It is my daughters 14th birthday, and we are celebrating this morning with waffles! She loves pancakes, but I thought it would be fun to dust off the waffle machine ( I haven't used it for years). I am planning on making some owl cupcakes for her...check them out at happy vegan face.
I am loving all the new blogs I am discovering because of Vegan MOFO. There is so many recipes that I can't wait to try. It is challenging trying to post something everyday, but it is also fun trying to come up with recipes.
I had a poll on my blog asking my readers what they would like to see/read more of? Kid friendly was voted for the most, so that is what my goal is for a little bit trying to making fun vegan food for kids.
1/2 ripe banana-mushed
1 cup non-dairy milk ( I used rice)
2 tbsp coconut oil melted + 1 tbsp for brushing on waffle maker
1 tbsp ground flax seed- mixed with 3 tbsp boiling hot water
1 cup flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
Mix up wet add to dry.
Use waffle machine according to direction.
Brush a some melted coconut oil on the griddle before adding the batter.
