Gov. Scott Walker delivers 4th State of the State address
Wisconsin has $912 million budget surplus
Gov. Scott Walker made the case in his State of the State speech Wednesday that extra money coming in because of the improving national economy should be returned as property and income tax cuts, though some Republicans say his proposal goes too far.
Walker, in a speech that also doubled as an argument for re-election in November, asked lawmakers to approve $504 million in property and income tax cuts over the next 17 months.
"The state of our state is strong and improving every day," Walker said during a joint meeting of the Legislature in a packed Assembly chamber. "The economy is dramatically better and our finances are in great shape. Still, there is more work to be done."
The hour-long speech, Walker's fourth State of the State address, comes as he's aiming for another term in office and positioning himself as a possible 2016 Republican presidential candidate. Democrat Mary Burke, a former Trek Bicycle Corp. executive, is challenging him in the governor's race.
Full text of Walker's State of the State
Walker's tax cut proposal, which would save a typical homeowner about $150 a year, was made possible by updated projections released last week that showed Wisconsin would collect $912 million more than previously anticipated.
"What do you do with a surplus?" he said in the speech. "Give it back to the people who earned it. It's your money."
But elements of the tax cut plan, dubbed by Walker a "Blueprint for Prosperity," are running into opposition from some Republican state senators who say it increases the projected budget shortfall too much. Republicans control the Senate 18-15 and have a 60-39 majority in the Assembly.
VIDEO: State of State: Walker on Blueprint for Prosperity
Heading into the 2015 two-year budget, the state already faces a $725 million projected shortfall. That would grow by about $100 million under Walker's proposed tax cut, but those estimates don't take into account future revenue growth.
Tax collections would only have to grow 1.5 percent to wipe out that shortfall, Republican Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Wednesday. Net tax collections are projected to increase by 2.2 percent by July and another 4.3 percent by mid-2015.
Republican Sen. Luther Olsen, of Ripon, said Walker's tax cut plan will have to be scaled back so the projected shortfall doesn't grow.
"We have to reduce it," Olsen said. "We ran (for office) on that stuff."
Republican Senate President Mike Ellis said his preference would be to reduce the size of Walker's proposed income tax cut to help lower the projected deficit if it appeared revenue growth wouldn't be strong enough to eliminate the shortfall.
"Every conservative has been against inordinate deficits," Ellis said.
Still, Fitzgerald said that while Republican senators were concerned about the shortfall growing, they were also supportive of cutting taxes.
"There's definitely a willingness to return the money to taxpayers," Fitzgerald said.
Walker said he'll call Thursday for a special session regarding the tax cut proposals, as well as a new initiative to help people with disabilities find work and a $35 million worker training initiative.
Republican Assembly Speaker Robin Vos indicated Tuesday that Walker's tax cut plan is likely to pass the Assembly largely the same as proposed and downplayed concerns over the shortfall. Cutting taxes is his highest priority, Vos said.
Walker's proposed tax cuts would equal $101 in property tax savings for the owner of a median-valued $151,000 home and between $44 and $58 in income tax savings. Walker wants to cut the lowest income tax rate from 4.4 percent to 4 percent.
Walker also said he ordered the state Department of Revenue earlier Wednesday to update income tax withholding tables, which will result in a typical family of four keeping about $58 more a month starting in April.
"The days of double-digit tax increases, billion-dollar deficits, and major job loss are gone," Walker said. "We replaced them with massive tax cuts, growing budget surpluses, and significant job growth. Wisconsin is going back to work."
Democratic critics were quick to point out that Wisconsin ranks 37th in private sector job growth over the 12-month period that ended in June. And Walker is not on pace to meet his 2010 campaign pledge to create 250,000 private sector jobs by the end of this year.
"Gov. Walker should be laying the foundation for long-term fiscal health by investing in worker training programs, infrastructure, and education to ensure that every Wisconsinite has access to a long-term family-supporting job with decent benefits," said Phil Neuenfeldt, president of the Wisconsin State AFL-CIO.
VIDEO: Peter Barca delivers Democratic response
Democratic Assembly Minority Leader Peter Barca said Walker said a more balanced approach was needed to help the middle class and put more people back to work.
Full text of Barca's Democratic response
Burke, Walker's Democratic opponent for re-election, said he painted an overly rosy picture of the state's economy.
"I know there's a lot more to do to give every middle-class family a fair shot," Burke said.

Let us turn our attention to Alexander Barclay's Civil War Service record and see if we cannot find any clues to this mystery of which brother "Marched to the Sea' with General Sherman. I obtained Alex's Civil War service record from the National Archives before they increased the fee and see the Blogroll to the right for the link.
George's brother Alexander Barclay mustered in to the Civil War at Fort Snelling approximate one year before George.
I visited Fort Snelling near Minneapolis and St. Paul. The photo shows the fort as it was in about 1827, which is 34 years earlier than the Civil War but inside the museum buildings they have maps and pictures that show the fort through the years. It gave me an idea of what it might have been like for both George and Alexander. The Minnesota Historical Society has many historical properties like this that you can visit if you become a member and travel in Minnesota. I have a link under Blogroll to the right for the society.
Alexander's Civil War Service record was listed under "Barkley." Alex has 27 cards in his service record.

Note: Brackets indicate that I cannot read the writing and I am guessing.
There is nothing in Alexander's Civil War Service record that states anything unusual about his service other than he re-enlisted at the end of 1864 and was promoted to Corporal about the time of Sherman's march. The spelling of the Barclay name as "Barkley" means that Alex used a different version than his brother George.
In the next post we will examine the events of Co. C, 4th Reg't of the Minnesota Infantry and we will discover some very interesting information!

Cantaloupe Boats Are Delicious, Refreshing, and Fat Free
I don't remember the first time I ate a summer cantaloupe boat, but I do know the attraction was immediate. That's surprising since it was a product of one of my mom's 1980's diets. She never did the grapefruit diet (too sour) or the cabbage soup diet (too bloating), but she did do the low-fat diet, which included rice cakes (a euphemism for styrofoam) and lots of low-cal cantaloupe.
Cantaloupe has always been a good friend of those watching their weight because it's a high water-content food. That means it helps fill you up quickly without added calories and helps you minimize bloat naturally. With high levels of vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, it's also a powerhouse of nutrition. And let's not forget that a perfectly ripe chilled cantaloupe is irresistible -- delicate, juicy, and sweet.
I don't diet. But I do love cantaloupe boats because they're healthy and refreshing on a hot summer day. And who wouldn't love that?
Summer Cantaloupe Boats
Serves 1
Print recipe only here.
These are highly versatile, so play around with ingredients you like until you find your favorite combination.
1 large ripe cantaloupe, cut in half and cleaned of seeds
1 cup non-fat vanilla yogurt
1-2 tablespoons honey
1-2 tablespoons fresh mint leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated ginger, optional
pinch of lime zest
1/2 cup fresh berries, such as blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries
1. In a small bowl whisk yogurt, honey, mint, ginger, and lime zest. Gently stir in berries. Pour inside of the cantaloupe half. Enjoy.
Try flavored yogurts, low-fat frozen yogurt, non-fat cottage cheese, or even sorbet.
Try other fruits such as cherries, peaches, or kiwis or dried fruits such as apricots and raisins.
Try orange or lemon zest.
Sprinkle yogurt with granola, chopped nuts, or trail mix.

Canteloupe slices wrapped in proscuitto and grilled are absolutely divine. There are so many good melons out there too, well worth exploring- Charentais, Galia, Juan Canary, Santa Claus.... the tiny little Charentais are my favorite. Super sweet and delectable, and perfect for this method.

Oh, yum! I'm a fan of the cantaloupe. My family used to serve it simply, dressed only with salt and pepper. It would be a major part of a light lunch. It was so easy to fill up on it - I loved it. When melons are on sale, this is one of my favorite ways to have breakfast.

- Hilary said...
I rebelled against cantaloupe for a long time because when I was growing up it was my parents' idea of dessert. I wanted ice cream - you know, a REAL dessert! Now of course, fruit is totally my idea of dessert too and I love all melons.
This is a great idea!

This is a great idea ~ I find myself inspired to make it with some blended frozen berries mixed with the accoutrements, rather than the yogurt. You may have just decided my breakfast for the morning :)

Yeah, it would really hit the spot right about now! Just let me get rid of these butter boats, hehehe ;) Love the bounty of fruits you have inside it, I'm so jealous! (Hmm, maybe I should whip up a local version!)

Yum! I love fruit and yogurt - I've seen cantaloupe filled with cottage cheese before but never yogurt - great idea :)

Loving your cantaloupe - wouldn't have thought about putting yoghurt in it though!

Antonio Coffee was awarded the rank of Eagle Scout at his Eagle Board of Review on June 11. Antonio is a member of Troop 434 chartered by St. John the Apostle Catholic Church where he and his family are parishioners. Antonio began his scouting career in 2003, has held leadership roles as Historian; Chaplain Aide; Patrol Leader; and is currently serving as Assist Senior Patrol Leader for the troop. He completed his Eagle Scout rank with 31 merit badges, 12 that are Eagle required. Antonio also earned the Ad Altare Dei Religious Scout Award earlier this year.
Antonio's Eagle Project was to renovate the playground equipment and basketball courts located by the parking lot in front of St.John Catholic School. The playground equipment was sanded and repainted; the boundary lines on the basketball court were reprinted; and new nets were hung on each basketball hoop. The project was completed over a two day period with the help of more than 30 volunteers from Troop 434, the St. John's Knights, family, and friends.

With a compelling choice of engines available across the BMW range, there is a lot to consider when choosing which engine is right for you. Find out the distinctions between each of them and what you need to think about when deciding which BMW engine is best suited to your requirements.
Optional Adaptive LED headlights with BMW Selective Beam and High-Beam Assistant deliver greater control. These come standard with the M Sport X and M Performance models.
Ranging from 18" – 21", newly styled light alloy wheels give this Sports Activity Coupé enhanced presence wherever it goes.
The more prominent coupé design and the extremely low-slung roof spoiler give the BMW X4 an impressive roofline that drops down to the tailgate.
To highlight the BMW X4's off-road nature, an enhanced wheel housing design is noticeably wider and delivers a more confident driving experience.
The rear lights combine new 3D LED lighting elements with the instantly recognisable BMW L-shape design.
Adding to the athletic look are twin exhaust pipes, which sit on either side of the impressive rear apron.

Since its beginnings in 1996, the Object Management Group's Unified Modeling Language (UML) has become all but ubiquitous within the IT community. The effect of the UML on our industry has been impressive there have been dozens of UML books published, thousands of articles and blogs posted, and thousands of training classes delivered some by me. UML v2.5 is just about to be released, but I'm not sure that I even care. Here's why.
The UML was originally developed by Rational Software, now a division of IBM (my former employer), in 1996 under the leadership of "The Three Amigos": Jim Rumbaugh, Grady Booch, and Ivar Jacobson. The 1.0 version was proposed in January 1997 and officially adopted by the Object Management Group (OMG) later that year. Since then, the UML has undergone many revisions, with UML 2.0 released in 2005 and most recently UML 2.4.1 in August 2011. An "in process version" of UML 2.5 was published in October 2012 and is expected to be officially released soon. My guess is that it will happen at the next OMG Technical Meeting, being held in Santa Clara the second week of December.
Although I have no doubt that everyone involved with the UML 2.5 release has done a great job, I'm struggling to find a reason to be interested. This is particularly strange given my background with the UML. I've written several UML books, including The Elements of UML 2.0 Style (2005), The Object Primer 3rd Edition (2004), and Jolt Productivity Award winning Building Object Applications that Work (1997). From an agile point of view, showing how to create UML diagrams in an agile manner was an important aspect of Agile Modeling (2002), which came about from the article Extreme Modeling. My point is that my history shows I'm about as pro-UML as you're going to get.
A Simpler Specification?
The goal of UML 2.5 is to simplify and clarify a specification document so as to reduce implementation problems and promote interoperability between tools. There was a significant pushback against UML v2.0 due to its complexity, so simplification is a step in the right direction. One of UML's complexities is the addition of diagrams that seem to have little value for most practitioners. For example, have you ever seen, let alone used, a composite structure diagram, an interaction overview diagram, or a communication diagram? Do you even know what I'm talking about? The good news is that in UML v2.5, the language itself remains virtually unchanged. However, new diagrams are being added for a total of 19 (up from 16 in UML 2.0). The additions are:
- Model Diagram, which is a specialization of a Package Diagram (akin to free-form architecture diagrams)
- Manifestation Diagram, a specialization of either a Deployment Diagram or Component Diagram that shows how components are manifested in the physical solution
- Network Architecture Diagram, which is effectively a high-level Deployment Diagram.
Interestingly, there are still no diagrams specific to user interface or database development. This is simplicity? Sigh.
A second complexity with UML 2.5, at least for tool vendors, is inconsistency in the semantics of the specification itself. The primary focus of the v2.5 release will be cleaning up the specification, which in theory, should lead to better tool interoperability. But to be blunt, I believe that it's time we called BS on modeling tool interoperability. With a few exceptions in the SysML space, tool interoperability has stayed at the "marchitecture" level since the advent of computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools in the late 1980s; I'll let the marketshare of UML-based Model Driven Architecture (MDA) tools speak for itself. For me, the absolute minimum for tool interoperability means that I can edit a model in tool A, export it to tool B, update it there, and export it back to tool A without loss of information. Furthermore, tool B may not necessarily be a modeling tool. What I really need is this level of interoperability in my entire tool stack, from whatever I use to capture high-level requirements all the way down to running code. Better yet would be tools that truly plug-and-play seamlessly and provide a fully functional solution-delivery stack.
I doubt that we'll ever see meaningful modeling tool operability except in very well-defined spaces, such as where SysML is typically applied. The primary challenges with interoperability aren't technical in nature, they're political. Modeling tool vendors, regardless of their marketing claims, aren't motivated to produce tools that play well with others because that's a great way for them to lose customers. Worse yet, there are even some vendors offering multiple modeling tools that don't interoperate with themselves, let alone another vendor's offerings. The bottom line is that modeling tool interoperability has been "just around the corner" for over a decade and I suspect it will stay there for a long time to come. Follow some of the links provided in the "More UML Reading" section to see my point.
Survey Says…
I'm not the only one who is jaded when it comes to the UML. During the fourth week of October 2013, I ran a mini-survey exploring how people were approaching modeling, including the use of both UML and Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN). There were 162 responses and the survey details can be downloaded free of charge. Every respondent had heard of UML (as I mentioned earlier, UML truly is ubiquitous), but 26% had never heard of BPMN. Only 13% found UML to be very useful, and 45% indicated that UML was useful but they could get by without it. An additional 20% indicated that UML was more trouble than it was worth, and 22% indicated that they don't use UML at all (although 10% of that subset indicated that they had looked at a UML diagram within the past month). In short, the OMG has been very successful in marketing the UML, but not so successful in producing something people find useful.
Perhaps one day, UML-based tools will truly provide the long promised higher level of abstraction that results in a leap in software development productivity. But at this stage, I suspect that any such productivity improvements will come from a very different direction. We'll need to wait and see.
More UML Reading
The OMG's UML v2.5 Beta home page
In 2010, Ivar Jacobson and Steve Cook described the need for simplification and support for better tool integration in The Road Ahead for UML.
An ALM Perfect Storm? by Adrian Bridgwater discusses Atego's Artisan Studio, which leverages both SysML and UML.
Application Lifecycle Management Meets Model-Driven Development by John Carrillo and Scott McKorkle describes their 2008 vision of how ALM and MDD tools can be combined to support the full solution delivery lifecycle. It's five years later; where are the tools?
SysML: The Systems Modeling Language by Bruce Powel Douglas overviews the relationship and differences between UML and SysML.
In June 2004, I wrote A Road Map to Agile MDA about how to make the OMG's MDA work in practice. This article questioned the viability of the tool-driven, UML-centric vision of the MDA and summarized eight concerns that I had about the MDA. These concerns have stood the test of time.
In MDA: A Motivated Manifesto, written in 2004, Grady Booch described seven reasons why the OMG's MDA strategy should provide a reasonable step up from today's popular development techniques. Those seven points were almost the exact opposite of what I wrote in the Agile MDA article a few months earlier.
The Introduction to UML Diagrams page provides a brief tutorial on the diagrams of UML 2.x.

Armistice Day : MAC To Shout Abuse During 2 Minute Silence
|Twat Rating:
50 comments:
Totally agree with you Gotty, If I came face to face with that fucking filthy stinking bearded raghead Muzzie cunt I would fucking kill him in an instant, just who the fuck do these cunts think the fucking are? I'd love to go to Exhibition Road and machine gun the fucking Muzzie cunts!!!!
- 10 November 2010 at 22:13
My sentiments exactly Gotty.
"The Metropolitan Police are aware that this is going to happen and say there's nothing they can do about it". Everything in that sentence after and including the word "aware" needs to be replaced with the words "Fucking useless".
Further comment have I none.
- 10 November 2010 at 22:20
Would the staccato stuttering of a GPMG during the Two Minutes Silence be considered offensive or disrespectful?
Just asking.
*Adjusts belt in breech. Locks down cover. Grasps both grips. Grins widely.*
- 10 November 2010 at 22:32
Yes, of course, the EU and our Lefty politicians clearly say that our police cannot interfere with any murderous Muzzies going about their daily business of ranting against British society and our traditions and that indeed our fine, upstanding British Police Farce should whack any British people repeatedly over the head with their batons if they try to disrupt Muzzies, the UAF, SWP or any other Marxist cunts going about their lawful pursuit of trashing our country! >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o >:o
- 10 November 2010 at 22:36
Yes The Old bill are a bunch of utterly useless cunts and all. As always the Muzzie cunts will be waving the sickening "Behead those who insult islam" placards and there will just be standing there doing absolutely fuck all a pair of those fuckwit PCfuckingSO plastic "diversity-fucking-awareness"coppers. It's about time we as a country got some fucking backbone and got rid of every single one of these Colonising mass-murdering Muzzie cunts!!!
- 10 November 2010 at 22:43
Damn, wish l was in London tomorrow. lt's a good day to get arrested.
- 10 November 2010 at 23:11
The police can do something about it. They have done in the past.
When they believe a breach of the peace will be caused they can stop demonstrations or ensure changes are made to defuse the situation or which pretty much make the demonstration moot. And the great bit? They will be protecting the MAC lot because they will likely be on the receiving end of violence. I'm sure some people wouldn't mind being arrested in attempting to attack the MAC crowd.

- Not if you use a silencer.
Seriously, can't the Police arrest the bastards for a 'hate crime'? What makes these treasonous fuckers immune to the law? 'Behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace' at the very least....
The bleeders try that over here on Remembrance Day, the local Mounties would see they got a quick trip down the cells, no messing.
- 11 November 2010 at 01:05
The best way to deal with this is an open backed lorry full of large beer casks, and offer free beer to every Christian with requests that they piss all over these bastards.
- 11 November 2010 at 01:24
nah, best thing to do is make missiles out of pork products and sling them at muzzies. pork sausages, bacon balls, etc.

Hi, you death loving killer, what in h*ll are you doing in West if you hate Democracy and freedom!? Your idea is to kill people all over the world until they submit under Islam? I tell you, life is better than death! You worship death, also for the living, and that, my friend, is a very stupid idea. You are tricked. Fooled. Deceived. :-D

"The Metropolitan Police are aware that this is going to happen and say there's nothing they can do about it."
Yes they can if they want to or are allowed to.
Perhaps UK citizens will make their displeasure known during this stunt.

There is plenty of scope for Police to deal with this .. it amounts to threats to commit public order offences, during a National occasion .. and Police have arrested other people for far less serious breaches of the Public Order Act .. The precedent has already been set ...
The plain, unvarnished truth is that Police are afraid to intervene .. and anyone within the Police, aspiring to promotion will do all they can to prevent Police intervention .. just in case some of the shit, which will undoubtedly fly might land on them .. thus scuppering their chances of going on to higher things ..
Its called COWARDICE, SELFISHNESS & DERELICTION of DUTY .. and Senior Police Officers should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves ..
- 11 November 2010 at 12:53
BTW .. Meant to say ..
If you witness a Police Officer failing to deal with a Public Order offence of this sort, over Remembrance weekend .. make a note of his/her number .. in the case of an Inspector, or above ask for their name ..
And make a formal, written complaint of Dereliction of Duty .. if you can obtain photographic/video evidence, so much the better ..
I shall be attending my local War Memorial & will have the necessary with me .. (just in case)

Let me even the score:
Fuck Allah
Fuck Islam
Fuck Mohammed like he fucked Aisha when she was only nine, the sick paedophile dog
Speaking of dogs, I have a dog called Mohammed. When he's good, I feed him pork sausages, but when he's bad, I beat him with my shoe. "Stop trying to hump that nine year old girl, Mohammed, you dirty dog", I tell him. "Come here and let me wipe your arse on pages I have ripped from the Koran - they need cleaning".

A terrible event.
Such is a war. When civilisation had been threatened. When the jackboot threatened to crush liberty across the world and exterminate whole nations. When millions had died by bullet bomb starvation gas and torture at the hands of an evil regime with a nation in its grasp. They sowed the wind. They reaped the whirlwind. Such is the inexorable and iron law if cause and effect. Or in physics; for each and every action their is an equal and opposite reaction. Or to put it more succinctly; you have no historical perspective, insight, or understanding.
I do not say it was a good thing; merely that is was the inevitable outcome of a war of terror and aggression launched upon the free people of the world.

Thank you Brother Gildas.
I wanted to write something like that but hadn't the words. And I didn't want to call him an ignorant shitbag because (a) reasoned argument is rarely advanced by name-calling and (b) one doesn't like to write that sort of thing where just any old Tom, Dick or Harry might read it...

@ Guest: I sure hope you didn't mean me with that 'leftist' comment, I'm actually slightly to the Xian right of David Koresh.
- 11 November 2010 at 14:37
@Gildas: Believe it or not my Granddad was one of the brit soldiers who liberated Belsen, another was imprisoned in Auschwitz and another was a mate of Carl Goerdeler, a name which I'm sure means absloutely nothing to 90% of the oh so perspective full armchair-xenophobic Brit-tards reading this. Fortunately I'm too young to have lived through it all so my only perspective is from the family history of it. I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure its historical fact that England declared war on Germany and not the otherway around and that to do with wanting oil not because Hitler was persecuting the Jews. The MAC are the ones we should be proud of, no matter how wrongheaded they are. In tihs instance they are the true inheritors of those supposed freedoms our forefathers fought and died for.
- 11 November 2010 at 14:56
A nice because my great uncle was in Auschwitz.
As you will know, England declared war on Germany because German had been just a tad naughty. Invading Poland was the merely the last straw. Whilst one can draw on a well known and tired perspective that there was a clash of the British Empire and Germany, sometimes, Occam's razor is useful. The German regime was expansionist fascist nation which needed - or rather wanted - both space and to a degree war to sustain its economy and achieve military and racial hegemony. The Nazi regime was one of the most foul and dangerous ever to been established. The inventors of Rassenkrieg as well as Blitzkrieg. I have read accounts of what happened on the ground at Hamburg and elsewhere. Truly hell on earth. But it was of its time, It was the product of Total War.
I do not think our fathers fought to allow a new form of fascism - Islamo fascists - to prosper and insult their fallen colleagues under the twisted and abused banner of freedom. They fought for liberty. However, I can perhaps only speak for one such man. My father.
Who served with 45 Commando from D day to Germany. Who went hand to hand with the SS. Who carries the shrapnel of a Nazi Panzerfaust still.
He, too, opened the door to a concentration camp. They shut again lest the site demoralise other troops. Later, they marched the entire nearby town through the camp at gun point to make them take on board what they had created. Perhaps you would find that a little reactionary too.
I have just asked him what he thinks of the MAC and others like him , because he is still hale and hearty. He is downstairs. I have never seen him drink, and barely heard him swear. A strong man then and now.
"Fucking Bastards" he said.
I think I will leave the last word to him
Kind regards

Please pass on my humble thanks to your father - if you feel he will not be slighted by them.
There are those who will never forget the debt of gratitude we owe to men like him and those who fell and did not return.

Enoch Powell ...
The finest potential Prime Minister which Britain was stupid enough to neither believe or elect ...
- 12 November 2010 at 09:06
'Rivers Of Blood' is an often mis-quoted phrase. The 'title' came from a letter he spoke aloud during his speech, written to him by a lady, herself quoting from a classical script. But it stuck, and has become almost a millstone weighted further by his opponents who wished to denounce him as racist. Nonetheless, what Powell stated, and what Powell stood for created such a surge of following from people at large - strong Labour groups too such as the dock workers - that he would have won a landslide victory as Conservative leader - he spoke more truth than any subsequent leader, and had a strong following as a result, 80% of the electorate backed him. Why was he not elected? The powers who control and select candidates feared he would unseat them, expose them, and so a more malleable and controllable nonentity was placed as a favoured candidate - Heath. Even the Conservatives were asking 'Who?' Not unlike the placing of Van Rumpoy possibly, though who would have been a more backed character is hard to say - the entire EU organisation is a fraud from top to bottom - scapegoats are put forward. Heath did as he was told. PM's ever since, have been infamous for their stupidity and lack of basic understanding, or desire to increase in personal achievement and wealth - it's a requirement of the position. The bait of one, ensures the other.
As voters, we don't get what we deserve - we get what is given us - pretty much Hobson's Choice nowadays there's that much difference. We are led not by the carrots, but by the wielder of the stick they are attached to. Bring forth the Guillotine.

NASCAR's Sunday Pre-Race TV Shows
The familiar pattern of pre-race TV programming is about to repeat itself for the next-to-last time this Sunday.
ESPN2's NASCAR Now kicks things off at 10AM with an hour of news and highlights. The stories of the Sprint Cup Series should dominate, but there have been two races this weekend and fans should expect to see the highlights. The much improved Ryan Burr will be hosting with driver Boris Said.
Next on the list is Tradin' Paint on SPEED. Veteran journalist Mike Mulhern stops by for thirty minutes of conversation with host John Roberts and panelist Kyle Petty. Expect a major re-vamp of this show before next season.
Larry McReynolds continues to plug away with NASCAR Performance. This week starting at Noon, McReynolds along with Chad Knaus and Bootie Barker talk tech and answer a ton of viewer emails. This is SPEED's most interactive show and it really puts a spotlight on the lack of viewer input on SPEED's other NASCAR programming.
All season long, hosts Adam Alexander and Randy Pemberton have been working hard on the first season of NASCAR in a Hurry. This show uses all the video from Friday and Saturday to set the table for Sunday. It is a fast-paced review that has been finding its legs and taking shape as a show that can survive for next season. NASCAR in a Hurry comes along at 12:30PM.
Roberts rolls-out the franchise for SPEED as he hosts another two-hour edition of NASCAR RaceDay at 1PM. This show has grown into a monster and Roberts works very hard to keep the program flowing and the panelists under control. Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace continue to be crowd favorites with their own unique style and relationship.
This week, reporter Wendy Venturini interviews Carl Edwards for her Real Deal segment. Jimmie Johnson will also be interviewed live, and veteran owner Richard Childress will stop by to talk about his plans for 2009. This weekend at PIR, SPEED opened a new sports bar in cooperation with the track. Rutledge Wood will be reporting from the SPEED Cantina.
All these programs are designed to lead-up to ABC's NASCAR Countdown show and subsequent race coverage. Those programs will begin at 3PM.
This post will serve to host your comments about the pre-race shows on SPEED and ESPN2. We will also answer any questions you might have about the Sunday NASCAR TV coverage.

JD my Comcast guide actually lists a "post race show" for 30 minutes after the race. What have you heard?

It might be a local thing due to your time zone. ABC is gone to news after the race.
Let me know what shows up on your TV.

Not sure if I like John Roberts on the right on the set. Just a thought. But I still enjoy the show when I happen to catch it. I do not catch it every week.
I think I like it when JR is in the middle and Kyle and the guest are on the right and left. Gives a little separation I guess.
Look forward to next season with the changes for the program.

I do hope that they do some changes to not only the format of Trading Paint, but to the Countdown shows especially on ESPN. There is no reason that those shows need to be an hour long and look forward to seeing what next season will bring us too.

The 2 major reasons I want count down shows to be 30 minutes. 1 So Wendy can walk the grid on RaceDay. 2 An extra 30 minutes to get things done before I sit down to watch everything Nascar on Sunday (or Saturday)

Interesting idea by Kyle Petty to move all Cup testing to Mondays after a race so the tracks still have rubber down and the teams just have to extend a day and not travel.
- November 9, 2008 at 12:28 PM
- Newracefan said...
I like DW's idea better testing the Thursday before the race, some fans are there early anyway, brings in crowds for the trucks and NW.
- November 9, 2008 at 12:35 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
I heard that from DW, but Kyle's point was that without rubber on the track testing is fundamentally useless. Be interesting to see who is right on that one.
- November 9, 2008 at 12:38 PM
- Newracefan said...
JD based on that all testing ever done including the extra stuff by individual teams is useless but yet they still do it so it must help something.
- November 9, 2008 at 12:40 PM

Kyle's idea is good, that's the way the NHRA does it.

Is it over yet?
Maybe it's post election fatigue, financial/economic crisis fatigue coupled with horrible ESPN coverage of NASCAR fatigue.
I used to be so excited for race day. Sad when the one thing you use as an escape from the everyday problems is as depressing!!!
I had NN now on this am, normally don't watch, but pretty tired after 9 1/2 drive from Vegas yesterday. Blah, blah, blah. I like Nicole...why is she there for a 2 minute report. Ryan Burr is ok, but Nicole should be the primary on NN during the week and Sunday.
I have an idea for ESPN. Given the economic problems, why don't they cut down the crew and save a ton of money. AB in booth with AP and DJ. They can do the pre show, 30 minutes only, since there are always set pieces and pit road interviews.
I like Ray E because he has good insight and offers different perspectives. Yes, I know some dislike him because of past indiscretions. But, I did somethings in my life that I am not too proud of. Let he who is without sin......
Get rid of TB in tech center. Maybe Ray can help with pre show and do tech center.
If they want to keep Shannon and Jaime send them to pit reporter school over the off season. Or better yet, tell them to watch Wendy Venturini tapes.
Speaking of, tell the booth to watch the truck races and SPEED/Fox for qualifying and practice.
Ok, off the soapbox. I just used to be sad when race season was over and now I'm not!
- November 9, 2008 at 1:03 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
Weird feeling isn't it? I still have not figured out what changed.
Really the only thing is that The Chase came along.
- November 9, 2008 at 1:22 PM
- Sophia said...
Diane I agree with your sentiments regarding the end of the season.
NASCAR better get their affairs in order about the COT issues, the CHASE (sick of it before it started due to over saturation) and THINK about travel plans, testing costs for all teams...and make things affordable for the fan base.
I am actually looking forward to WT tonight as Bill Weber is on! I know he hosts different racing but I enjoyed TNT this year....wish they had the money to get the contract away from PSPN. :-)
- November 9, 2008 at 1:26 PM

West Coast Diane Said:
Some of it is the COT/boring racing. But I don't recall not being excited with FOX or TNT. So, I put a lot of the blame on the ESPN coverage and personalities.
If you think about a great movie, TV show, sporting event or novel you have seen or read it is like nothing else exists for the time spent viewing/reading. It kind of transports you to another place.
We don't watch football anymore, but we do watch the Super Bowl when making the trek to Daytona. Some how we are able to get into it.
It is all about presentation and the enthusiasm of the presenters.
Hope this all gets fixed next year.

John, I think the post-race is part of the national broadcast, it's been part of the schedule for weeks, listed as a Post-Race show... 7-7:30PM on the East Coast, showing up for me here in Michigan. espntv.com has it in their listings as well.
- November 9, 2008 at 1:37 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
It could be that they sold a post-race show for more money and tacked it on.
Of course, the reality is that no one knows what will happen, but the telecast is on until 7:30PM.
By the way, there is a new post up for the Sprint Cup Series race from PIR for your comments.

I think it's hard to be all smiley and fun when most of the guys are just not feeling that way.
JJ is obviously tight and Carl is in full attack mode. Most everyone else just seems burnt out and toasty.
Junior really took Shannon Spake to task when she tried to interview him during practice and it was clear both he and Tony are way over the ESPN hype.
Might make for some fun this week in the media.
- November 9, 2008 at 2:56 PM
- Daly Planet Editor said...
Nothing changing for SPEED or ESPN next season right now. The only wild card is Ray Evernham.
What he is doing once again on the infield set instead of hanging with his team with only one race left should be a clear indication of his future.
- November 9, 2008 at 2:58 PM
- Anonymous said...
A minor correction if I may. The "sounds of NASCAR" are a result of the host network. In fact the "effects mix" used by SPEED for all their on track shows at these multi-network weekends, Trucks/Nationwide/Sprint are done in the host network truck and provided to the broadcast partner that is on the air. Both the ESPN and FOX audio teams have multiple Emmys for their efforts in this arena. And yes I too think they are the best in all of television.
- November 9, 2008 at 3:01 PM
- Newracefan said...
I think I'm just tired of hearing about how JJ is going to lose and Carl has a good chance to win. I'm a JJ fan and it's giving me a headache. At this point I can't tell anymore if it's media hype or reality

Did anyone notice that there were more people at the Raceday stage than at the NW race yesterday?
Here in LV, there is paid programming after the race.

Atego lists itself as (take a deep breath) a supplier of industrial-grade collaborative development tools for engineering complex mission- and safety-critical architectures, systems, software, and hardware.
More Insights
White PapersMore >>
ReportsMore >>
WebcastsMore >>
The firm has launched Atego Exerpt Synchronizer, now extended to Microsoft Windows 8 (32/64 bit) and IBM's Rational DOORS 9.4 — the new release includes a limitless number of exchange attributes, and requirements interchange partners can now incrementally receive and track changes, while also preserving their precise content.
NOTE: The addition of "RTF pass-through" enables rich requirement content interchange while maintaining all detailed formatting.
"This new release takes another step in breaking down the boundaries between partners, manufacturers, suppliers, and customers, working together on requirements elicitation and interchange," said the company.
The "all new" Atego Exerpt Editor is based on the RIF and OMG ReqIF (Requirements Interchange Format) standard to enable the creation, editing, and review of requirements "on-the-go". This offline requirements editing capability should help work carried out in the field, disconnected from the master requirements engineering system or database.
NOTE: IBM defines Requirements Interchange Format as follows: The Requirements Interchange Format (RIF) is a standardized format that you can use to exchange requirement information between requirements databases and requirements tools. You can send Rational DOORS data for editing to another Rational DOORS database or another requirements tool. After the data has been edited, it is returned to the originating Rational DOORS database and, if appropriate, merged with the original data.
"We are very pleased to announce the launch of Atego Exerpt Synchronizer 2.3 [as] its efficient methods for requirements exchange and synchronization, across departmental and enterprise boundaries, improves productivity," said Hedley Apperly, Atego's VP of product and marketing.

By "custom" I mean creating original poses and expressions that only fit the particular scene and story you are working on.
If you are just gonna use stock prefab model sheet poses and expressions, then there really is no reason to do layouts in the country. You might as well just send the script directly overseas. It's a lot cheaper and all that matters is what the characters say anyway, right? Not how they say it or how they think?
This is not exactly what layout was created for. It's really the animator's job to create the acting, but since animation is all done overseas (or in flash) this is the best solution I could come up with to at least have some directorial control over the performances in the stories.
It's a bandaid created for TV production. However, TV practices and philosophy have largely been adopted by many full animators too. Meaning that most animators these days are expected to not really vary much from the model sheets or even the limited house styles that exist today. I see characters in every major studio making the same expressions and moving the same way they have moved for 25 years. Maybe some move smoother or have more overlap, but the acting seems to be out of the can.
I've found that even really good animators have trouble adapting to different styles and especially breaking out of stock expressions, actions and poses. Too many artists do things the way "it's supposed to be done".
So layout is also a way for me aid the animators in getting the customized acting I like.
Chuck Jones used to do a lot of his own poses even back when he had great full animators at WB. I think he said not all them could draw well and needed detailed poses from the director.
The ideal to me would be to have animators who not only can move things smoothly, but who also have their own individual styles - and an ability to break from formula - to be able to think on their feet. To be able to feel the emotions of scene and have the chops to translate those feelings into distinct and confident drawings and animation.
That's one of the things I love about Clampett. He encourages his animators to customize everything rather than just repeat actions they have already done a million times. That's true creativity as opposed to being merely smooth and professional.
More poses? You'll probably have to put up with another lecture; sorry about that.

Invited guests spend several weeks residing at the campus, exploring its natural ecosystems, and interacting with research staff. The loosely structured immersion in the Cary community is meant to inspire creative works that relay ecosystem concepts and the work of ecosystem scientists to the public.This May, writer Akiko Busch was the Institute's inaugural writer-in-residence. Busch writes about culture, design, and nature for magazines, newspapers, and websites. She's also the author of four books, among them Nine Ways to Cross a River, a collection of essays documenting her swims across eight historic waterways, including the Hudson River. Currently she is researching a book, under contract with Yale University Press, on how citizens can contribute to science. Share: Feature Writer in residence Akiko Busch › July 31, 2011

Tomorrow is St. Patrick's Day, which reminds me of two things: getting my wisdom teeth extracted and McDonald's Shamrock Shakes.
It was the Monday of my freshman spring break, and rather than frolic on a Florida beach, I got my four impacted wisdom teeth removed. I developed "dry sockets," another name for pain. It was a blast.
My face blew up to gargantuan proportions, and with all the bruising, I looked like Violet from Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I couldn't eat any solid foods, so after work, my dad surprised me with a coffee milkshake from McDonald's. He knew it was my favorite, and that frosty, creamy milkshake was just what I needed to soothe my aching mouth.
When he saw how much I loved the milkshake, he came home Tuesday grinning from ear to ear with a special St. Patrick's Day green Shamrock Shake (and a coffee one, just in case I didn't like the Shamrock Shake).
I was skeptical. I have never been fond of mint (it reminds me of Milk of Magnesia; not good), but after a couple of sips, its refreshing flavor left a pleasant minty tingling sensation in my dry socketed mouth.
Each night that week, my dad brought me a Shamrock Shake. By Friday, however, I was green at the thought of drinking another one. But when your dad stops at McDonald's after a long day at work, waits in line to buy you a milkshake, and delivers it to you, you drink it.
Though I've never told him, those milkshakes made me feel better than just about anything that week, and I think about it every year at St. Patrick's Day. I only wish I could have one again. Unfortunately, McDonald's doesn't carry them in the US anymore.
After 15 years of waiting, I decided to make my own Shamrock Shake. It was cold, minty, and delicious just as I remembered. It also made my teeth ache a little, but I think that was just in my head.
So Dad, this "McBlogga Mint Shake" is for you. By the way, thanks.
I hope Michelle's kids like mint cause I'm sending this to her for the final month of her Winter Bazaar. Her kids weren't even born when the Shamrock Shake came out, and I wouldn't want them to be left out of an American classic. I'm also sending it to Danielle of Habeas Brulee, the host of Sugar High Friday #41, who would like you to share your "sweet gifts" with her.
Shamrock Shake (a.k.a. The McBlogga Mint Shake)
Makes 2 servings
Print recipe only here.
1 cup milk
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon green food coloring
2 cups vanilla ice cream
Place milk, extract, and food coloring in a blender; blend on high for about 10 seconds. Add ice cream and blend another 15 to 20 seconds on low so the ice cream doesn't melt too much. It should be thick and frothy.
For a Chocolate Shamrock Shake, just use chocolate ice cream instead of vanilla, but skip the green food coloring. It's not pretty when mixed with chocolate.

'Milking' Is a Thing People Do on the Internet — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="4988977"]
Planking and Tebowing have come and gone, but 2012 introduced us to a third Web trend: milking. Milking requires a person to dump a large amount of milk on his or her head. That's pretty much it.
It's hard to say why this took off. Sure, it's ridiculous, and when done in certain environments can be particularly amusing, but really? Milk? On your head? We cringe at what 2013 will bring us ...
The Daily Distraction is your Internet break from reality. Whether you're eating lunch at your desk or avoiding high school exes on Facebook, you might just laugh, say "aaahhh" or not believe what you just watched.
