About this Review
This page presents an independent review of Bankers Fidelity as a Medicare Supplement insurance carrier in Colorado as compared to all other carriers. MedicareWire provides this information for consumer educational purposes. Our goal is to present information accurately and without bias, based on our interpretation of factual information about each carrier.
Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap insurance, must follow federal and state laws and does not work with any other type of health insurance, including Medicare Advantage Plans, employer/union group health coverage, Medicaid, Veterans Administration (VA) benefits, or TRICARE. Insurance companies, including Bankers Fidelity, can only sell you a standardized Medigap policy identified by letters A through M. Each standardized policy must offer the same benefits, no matter which insurance company sells it. Cost is the primary difference between Medigap policies sold by different insurance companies.

MWC 15 Special
It's some time since I've introduced the::unwired's Follow-Ups category, as a matter of fact it was over 6 years ago, and this week I've decided that it is definitely time to reawake this topic again! As before, I want to follow-up with observations I've done while using a platform, a device or a service but I'm now going to slightly change the way I'm writing about it. Since the::unwired is still read by carriers, hardware manufacturers and application service providers (which sometime value my feedback), I'm now going to write in a kind of "how I would change" their products style to provide a direct feedback. Furthermore it might be helpful for end-users to better understand what they can or cannot expect from the one or the other device or service.
As always, you are invited to join the discussion in the comments to provide your personal feedback; either by agreeing or disagreeing with my observations or by adding your very own observations of things you would like to see changed and improved.
Cheers ~ Arne

For people working in technical publications UGC presents a bit of a paradox. On the one hand, gathering feedback from real users is always valuable and helps build a user community (and from a commercial viewpoint builds customer loyalty as well).
On the other hand, companies have a degree of responsibility for goods they sell, and they therefore need to provide accurate and authoritative instructions and reference material. An open and unmoderated user forum or Wiki might not always be the best vehicle for providing that kind of information.
Many advocates of UGC in general, and of wikis in particular, are fond of claiming that over time the Wiki will always be right, because anyone who finds an error will correct it. To my mind this assumes a degree of altruism which might not always be present, and so should not really be relied on. Wikipedia for example may be a useful source, but only if it is used with the same degree of critical evaluation as any other source.
An interesting example of the way that Wikipedia might be misused and might inadvertently contribute to the perpetuation of false information comes from the current edition of Private Eye, the satirical British magazine (Private Eye, no. 1220, 3-16 Oct. 2008). In an attack on the sloppy research practices of one sports journalist on a national daily newspaper, Anatole Kaletsky includes the following story in his "Hackwatch" column:
IDLY sabotaging the user-generated online encyclopedia Wikipedia following the UEFA cup draw back in August, a user of the b3ta web forum going by the name of "godspants" made a few amendments to the entry for Cypriot team Omonia Nicosia.
He (or she) noted that they were sponsored by Natasha Kaplinsky, that their former players included Jean Claude Van Damme and Richard Clayderman, and claimed that "A small but loyal group of fans are lovingly called 'The Zany Ones' - they like to wear hats made from discarded shoes and have a song about a little potato." As you do.
Writing up his pre-match report on Omonia's match against Manchester City for the Daily Mirror on 18 September, sports hack David Anderson decided to do some in-depth research. Thus it was that Mirror readers were informed that City manager "Mark Hughes will not tolerate any slip-ups against the Cypriot side, whose fans are known as the 'Zany Ones' and wear hats made from shoes".
Brilliantly, by the rules of Wikipedia - which relies on "verifiablility - whether readers are able to check that material added has already been published by a reliable, third-party source" such as "mainstream newspapers" - this is now officially true.
This may just be an amusing story, and I don't know how the community of editors on Wikipedia will handle it. (They probably did not foresee that something that was clearly a spoof would be used so uncritically by someone from the mainstream media.) But I see this also as a warning against relying too heavily on any user generated content.

What You See is What You Get
Monday's Los Angeles Times had an article about modern technology used by ballplayers to help them see pitches.
I've written many times that ballplayers say the key to hitting isn't brute strength, it's hand-eye coordination. The results documented in the article reinforce that.

TORONTO – A renowned Ottawa doctor who admitted to professional misconduct after three women were artificially inseminated with the wrong sperm has been suspended for errors that a disciplinary panel said left the women's children grappling with a lifetime of "social and psychological pain."
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario panel stripped Dr. Bernard Norman Barwin of the ability to practice medicine for two months.
"It's hard to imagine a more fundamental error in your former speciality than to impregnate the right women with the wrong sperm," disciplinary panel chair Dr. William King told Barwin at the Thursday hearing in Toronto.
Barwin agreed last year to stop the practice of artificial insemination after the college filed notice it would conduct a hearing after three of his patients alleged they were not impregnated with the sperm of their chosen donors. Two had intended to be inseminated with sperm from their husbands.
One of the children born as a result of the insemination errors said outside the hearing that Barwin should have had his licence revoked permanently — the maximum professional punishment available to the panel.
"I don't know my medical history. That's kind of scary," said the man, now in his 20s. He and the three women and their families cannot be identified under a publication ban.
"I know I look like my mother. But who do I look like on my other half? I'll never know."
The fertility specialist reached a plea agreement with the medical college in which he admitted he "failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession."
In addition to the licence suspension, the ruling also reprimanded Barwin and ordered him to cover the $3,650 cost of the disciplinary proceedings.
Barwin, a celebrated gynecologist who received the Order of Canada in 1997, stood expressionless as the reprimand was read out.
He told the hearing he did not know how the mix-up occurred. He had been practicing artificial insemination since 1973.
"Dr. Barwin accepts that errors in his practice, which would fall below the standard of care, resulted in his failure to provide his patients with offspring from their intended biological fathers," the agreed statement of facts said.
In a victim impact statement read by a lawyer for the medical college, one of Barwin's patients referred to as "Patient D," said the wrong insemination "has impacted me a lot with mixed feelings."
"It's like there are two stories. No. 1: Having a wonderful son in our lives. No. 2: "I feel 'violated,'" the statement said.
"With our strong family values we are dealing with this. But it does not take away that it is always there."
The statement of facts says "Patient D" had gone to Barwin in the mid-1980s to be inseminated with sperm from her husband, which had been frozen before he began cancer treatment. It was only in 2011 that she discovered through DNA testing that the son she had raised for more than two decades was not her husband's child.
The document states that another woman who was inseminated by Barwin, referred to as "Patient B," had been acting as a surrogate for her sister, who could not have a child with her husband. The family discovered in 2008 that the sperm used in the procedure was not his.
The third patient became pregnant from an insemination by Barwin in 2004. She raised her child for three years before learning the sperm used in the procedure did not come from the donor she instructed Barwin to use, the statement says.
Barwin was invested in the Order of Canada for his "profound impact on both the biological and psycho-social aspects of women's reproductive health."
A profile on the Governor General's website says he has contributed greatly to the Planned Parenthood movement and the Infertility Awareness Association of Canada.
He founded the non-profit, pro-choice organization Canadians for Choice, which gives away an annual Dr. Norman Barwin Scholarship to a graduate student studying sexual health and reproductive rights.

I remain without breathing, while we talk slowly I look at his lips, my eyes run through his body, soon our eyes cross and we are both thinking the same thing we do not ask anymore, we escape to a hidden place in the museum we kissed passionately while I slide my hand for his pants I feel his hard member, this makes me burst with pleasure, he slides his hand down my crotch and he realizes my humidity, in that instant he lowers my panty he throws me against the wall, he grabs my face, my neck, hair and caresses my breasts. He penetrates me hard and covers my mouth while he says dirty things to my ear;we have a delicious orgasm together, I stay in ecstasy. We finish with a kiss that we will never forget and we take different paths

Thousand-yard stare
The thousand yard stare (also known as blank stare, Pure Being, or being in la la land) is a temporarily debilitating condition which has been found to exist worldwide in human behavior. Its causes are complicated and its history rich, but ultimately it really just has to do with you looking like an idiot.
Research has shown that, in modern days, the stare is most commonly found in workers of 8 AM to 5 PM jobs. Risk of entering into the stare is increased by 53% if cubicles are involved. In fact, right after I wrote that last sentence, I stared into nothingness for about ten minutes.
The first known case of the blank stare is thought to have occurred during mankind's first moments of self-awareness. Since the stare is easily induced by complete and utter confusion, the first cavemen to realize the inevitability of their own deaths entered into an epic, years-long thousand yard stare (known to historians as the Ice Age) before they got their shit together and started living life in light of this new perspective.
Common Causes[edit]
Blank stares don't just come out of nowhere. It takes a combination of various high levels of idiocy and boredom to inspire a really magical, unbreakable blank stare. Maybe with practice, you can draw blank stares from others with your insanely retarded (yet carefully calculated) behavior.
Complete and Utter Confusion[edit]
When a person tries to look at something that is generally incomprehensible, like THIS or even THIS, a blank stare is sometimes unavoidable. The brain simply does not know what to do, so it gives up. Most often these are in cases of atheists learning religion, Juggalos learning science, and anybody watching Two and a Half Men.
Possessing Sheer Stupidity[edit]
A person doesn't necessarily need to see something batshit crazy to experience the blank stare. In fact, all it takes sometimes is to simply be incredibly stupid. This is exactly why dogs seem to be perpetually stuck in a thousand yard stare.
Witnessing Sheer Stupidity[edit]
Seriously, just look at some of the dumb shit dogs do. Just yesterday, I watched my dog sniffing around the backyard for a place to do his business. Well, once he did his business, he kept sniffing around. My first thought was whyyy don't you just go all in one sittinggg? Turns out, he had. And apparently this new sniffing session was dedicated to finding my other dog's shit to rub his face in, because that is exactly what he did. Seriously, it was as if it were his mission. He sniffed directly to that crap and just buried his face like a pie-eating contestant. I was promptly paralyzed by the power of the blank stare that had enveloped my face, brought by my dog's act of sheer stupidity.
But the awestruck stare is even more glorious if another human is the one doing the dumb shit. All one must do to test this theory is spend fifteen minutes on YouTube (effect is multiplied if you read the comments sections).
Shame [after a long night of drinking][edit]
You know after you just won your fourth straight beer pong game with your buddy at 3am, and you take that long, crooked walk to the bathroom, and you lock the door, and you just stand in front of the sink for a minute, and you take a good look at yourself in the mirror, and you will yourself to keep it together? That's the shame-induced stare. The shame is definitely increased if this is done in a public toilet.
Boredom is the most common cause of the blank stare. It continues to run rampant, although millions of attempts have been made to end boredom, once and for all. One particularly noble attempt was Super Smash Bros. in 1999, which is probably the closest we've come to permanently eradicating boredom. But, somehow, the blank stare began infiltrating the jaded players whose motor skills had adapted so automatically to the games algorithms, they became able to literally play without thinking. Blah blah blah, I'm bored.

Never before in human history has there been something so thoroughly, superfluously detail-laden with useless information. Wikipedia claims to hold the collective knowledge of humanity. If this is true, it is time to feel sorry for God, because he has to endure every bit of it.
Oh, and Weed[edit]
No worries, I'll finish this part laterrr
Appearances in Pop Culture[edit]
- The condition manifested itself in meme form on April 26, 2007 on a rule34 thread, as, "what is this i dont even".
- Remember in Harry Potter 5, when Dudley gets pwned by dementors at the beginning?
- In I Heart Huckabees, the two lead characters participate in the practice of hitting each other in the face with a giant rubber ball until all thoughts of identity or superfluous existence are forced from their brains. This friend-induced type of stare is referred to as Pure Being.
- Many a blank stare has been achieved while listening to Pink Floyd.
- See any stoner movie

If nothing else, the congressional break for the week of Presidents' Day is a cooling-off period for the fight over former Sen. Chuck Hagel's nomination to be secretary of defense.
Questions about President Obama's handling of the terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya, which killed four Americans, including the US ambassador — an issue, by the way, which Mr. Hagel had nothing to do with — are being answered to the apparent satisfaction ofRepublicans … at least to the point where they're willing to end their de facto filibuster of Hagel's nomination.
The argument over Hagel's reference to the power of the "Jewish lobby" on the State Departmentand members of Congress — a phrase frequently heard in Israel itself to describe influential lobbying efforts on behalf of the Jewish state — seems to be settled to the satisfaction of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R) of South Carolina. Sen. Graham, along with Sen. John McCain, led the opposition to Hagel in the Senate Armed Services Committee.
So you think you know Congress? Take our quiz.
Now, Sen. McCain is ready to drop such confirmation roadblocks.
"I don't believe he's qualified, but I don't believe we should hold up his confirmation any further," McCain said Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press." "I think it's a reasonable amount of time to have questions answered."
"I'm confident that Senator Hagel will probably have the votes necessary to be confirmed as secretary of defense," McCain said.
On Fox News Sunday, Graham said he's satisfied with Hagel's disavowing any comment about Israel and the State Department, which critics say Hagel made in 2007.
"I got a letter back from Sen. Hagel in response to my question, did you say that, and do you believe that? And the letter said he did not recall saying that. He disavows that statement," Graham said. "If in fact that's true, that would end the matter. I just take him at his word unless something new comes along."
Still, Graham considers Hagel to be "one of the most unqualified, radical choices for secretary of defense in a very long time."
"But at the end of the day," he said, "this is the president's decision. I give him great discretion."
It fell to White House chief of staff Denis McDonough to defend Hagel on the TV talk shows, where he made three appearances Sunday.
"If you look at Chuck Hagel, decorated war veteran himself, war hero. Republican senator. Somebody who over the course of the last many years, either as a Republican senator or as the chairman of the president's Intelligence Advisory Board, I've worked with very closely. This guy has one thing in mind, how do we protect the country," Mr. McDonough said on ABC's "This Week With George Stephanopoulos."
Criticism over the administration's handling of the Benghazi attack was the principal issue that stopped UN Ambassador Susan Rice from being confirmed as secretary of state, and it remains a contentious point on Capitol Hill. Most recently, President Obama had to report to Congress exactly how soon he had contacted Libyan authorities once he knew of the attack.
"The president isn't done with Benghazi," McDonough said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday. "He's demanded of us, since that night, to find out exactly what happened, and to make every reform needed to ensure it does not happen again."
The politics of the Hagel nomination are obvious to those aware of election cycles — particularly regarding Sen. Graham, who faces reelection next year and the likelihood of a challenge from his right (as did Sen. McCain in 2010).
"Graham's antics have as much to do with events in Columbia, S.C., as with events inWashington," writes Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank. "His sentiments are no doubt genuine, but the ferocity with which he has been attacking the Obama administration — taking a high-profile role on Benghazi, Susan Rice, Hagel and gun control — are helping him to repel a tea party primary challenge at home."

Product Information
The SimpleChIP® Human Bivalent Promoter Assay Kit contains ChIP-formulated antibodies and SimpleChIP® primers for the analysis of tri-methyl histone H3 Lys4 and Lys27 marks on target genes in human cells by chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP). The SimpleChIP® Human GAPDH Exon 1 Primers are provided as a positive control for enrichment of tri-methyl Lys4, as GAPDH is a housekeeping gene that is heavily enriched for active histone marks. SimpleChIP® Human MYT-1 Exon 1 Primers are provided as a positive control for enrichment of tri-methyl Lys27, as MYT-1 is repressed by polycomb proteins in most cell lines. SimpleChIP® Human GATA6 Promoter Primers are provided as a positive control for enrichment of both marks, as the GATA6 promoter is found to be bivalent in human stem cells (7). Antibodies and primers are tested and optimized for parallel use with the SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits #9002 and #9003 and SYBR® Green quantitative real-time PCR. The kit provides enough reagents for 10 ChIP assays per antibody and 250 PCR reactions per primer set.
Each antibody in the SimpleChIP® Human Bivalent Promoter Assay Kit detects endogenous levels of its respective modified histone protein. SimpleChIP® Human GAPDH Exon 1 Primers contain a mix of PCR primers that are specific for amplification of a 68 base pair region of the human GAPDH gene. SimpleChIP® Human MYT-1 Exon 1 Primers contain a mix of PCR primers that are specific for the amplification of an 80 base pair region of the human MYT-1 gene. SimpleChIP® Human GATA6 Promoter Primers contain a mix of PCR primers that are specific for the amplification of a 199 base pair region of the human GATA6 promoter.
The nucleosome, made up of four core histone proteins (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), is the primary building block of chromatin. Originally thought to function as a static scaffold for DNA packaging, histones have now been shown to be dynamic proteins, undergoing multiple types of post-translational modifications, including acetylation, phosphorylation, methylation and ubiquitination (1). Histone methylation is a major determinant for the formation of active and inactive regions of the genome and is crucial for the proper programming of the genome during development (2,3). Trithorax proteins catalyze the tri-methylation of histone H3 Lys4, a mark of transcriptional activation, while polycomb proteins establish and maintain tri-methylation of histone H3 Lys27, a mark of transcriptional repression (4,5). Though originally thought to be mutually exclusive, recent studies have shown that in stem cells certain developmental genes and highly conserved non-coding elements contain both of these marks (6-8). These 'bivalent' regions of the genome are poised for activation and are thought to hold the key to the vast potential of stem cells. As stem cells differentiate along a given lineage, many bivalent genes become monovalent, either retaining the tri-methyl histone H3 Lys4 mark if activated during differentiation, or the tri-methyl-histone H3 Lys27 mark if repressed. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is a powerful technique that can be used to identify bivalent domains in stem cells and changes in bivalency that occur during differentiation (6-8).

While the U.S. was busy losing to Honduras in a vital World Cup qualifying match, other nations around the globe spent their Wednesday engaged in international friendly matches. One such bout became especially friendly, as Argentina's road trip to Sweden turned romantic when a Barcelona jersey-clad fan rushed the pitch to embrace star Lionel Messi.
And here just a week from St. Valentine's Day!
Even better, this photo (from Getty's Jamie McDonald) shows that Messi returned the love, sort of. Alas, it wasn't enough to inspire a goal from the world's greatest player, who failed to score as the Argentinians eked out a close 3-2 win over the Swedes.

I know we go to the well with the Final Four thing quite a bit, but sometimes it's just unavoidable. I had another one of those "holy-crap-what-did-we-actually-do" moments last night while watching the
Kentucky Wildcat Disbursement NBA Draft.
I couldn't help but notice the staggering number of players drafted from the teams VCU beat during that run:
Southern Cal
2011: Nikola Vucevic, first round (16th overall) Philadelphia 76ers
None (surprising, right?)
2011: JaJuan Johnson, first round (27th overall) New Jersey Nets
2011: E'Twaun Moore, second round (55th overall) Boston Celtics
*2012: Robbie Hummel, second round (58th overall) Minnesota Timberwolves
–Hummel was hurt and did not play during 2011 NCAA Tournament
Florida State
2011: Chris Singleton, first round (18th overall) Washington Wizards
2012: Bernard James, second round (33rd overall) Cleveland Cavaliers (traded to Dallas)
2011: Markieff Morris, first round (13th overall) Phoenix Suns
2011: Marcus Morris, first round (14th overall) Houston Rockets
2011: Josh Selby, second round (49th overall) Memphis Grizzlies
2012: Thomas Robinson, first round (fifth overall) Sacramento Kings
2012: Tyshawn Taylor, second round (41st overall) Portland Trail Blazers
2011: Shelvin Mack, second round (34th overall) Washington Wizards
Not counting Robbie Hummel, who was injured when the Rams played Purdue, VCU played against 11 future NBA draft picks during its Final Four run (beating 10). Kansas has had five NBA draftees on its own! And there could be more (I'm talking to you, Jeff Withey).
Meanwhile, the Rams' roster (up to this point) hasn't had a single player drafted from that 2011 team. VCU essentially beat an NBA team to get to the Final Four. I mean, those five Kansas guys couldn't possibly be any worse than the Charlotte Bobcats last year, could they? But I digress.
The important thing to know is that VCU faced – and defeated – an incredible amount of talent in 2011. Sometimes it's just worth the time to stop and appreciate it.

Honda's First Dreams
In August of 1949, the Honda Motor Company had completed the first prototype of a very important motorcycle. Technologically advanced for its day, it featured such Honda firsts as a kickstarter and chain final drive, as well as such rarities as a telescopic front fork and two-speed transmission. Power came from a 98cc two-stroke single with square bore and stroke dimensions, 50mm x 50mm, and it churned out 3 horsepower at 5000 rpm. According to legend, Soichiro Honda and his 20 employees celebrated with a party in the office, complete with home-brewed sake. One of the employees said, "It's like a dream!" And Mr. Honda shouted, "That's it! Dream!" and officially christened the new motorcycle the Dream Type D.
To understand the Dream D's significance to Honda, you have to know something of its background. After World War II, Japan was essentially starting over from the ground up, and people desperately needed inexpensive transportation. Honda's first efforts in 1947 resulted in the A-type engine, a 1-horsepower 50cc two-stroke that attached to bicycles and used army-issue hot-water bottles as fuel tanks. Employees nicknamed it the chimney, partly for its tall cylinder, and partly for the fumes created by the raw pine-resin fuel civilians had to burn at the time. But Honda wasn't the only one engaging in the enterprise. Many others had the same idea to provide cheap transport, and new companies sprouted up left and right; by the early 1950s, there were more than 200 Japanese motorcycle manufacturers. Standing out in such a crowd was crucial to a firm's future, and it was hoped the Dream D would provide a launching point for the Honda Motor Company.
But that's not what happened. At that time, Honda sold both engines and complete motorcycles to distributors, and the Dream D wasn't as popular as putting a Honda engine in a competitor's frame. Honda's business partner, Takeo Fujisawa, told distributors that if they wanted to sell the Dream, they could no longer get engines; if they wanted engines, they could not get the Dream. Such tactics angered some of the distributors enough that they supposedly threatened Fujisawa with knives. The Dream also had problems with insufficient clearance between its tires and fenders; mud would pack up during poor weather on the primitive roads of the time.
Yet Soichiro Honda had always preached learning from mistakes. "To me," he once said, "success can only be achieved through repeated failure and introspection." The Dream D offered that opportunity, to build success out of failure. And it would result in the Dream E of 1951, a radical departure for Honda, and one that would start the company's climb to the forefront of motorcycle manufacturing.
Fuel was extremely scarce and expensive, and by late 1949 some of Honda's competitors had turned to more economical four-stroke engines. Despite some initial reluctance, Mr. Honda decided to take the four-stroke path as well. This was an ambitious undertaking: If the company had to risk expensive retooling to produce such engines, the design would have to be a good one. But Mr. Honda was willing to wager everything on the strength of bold engineering ideas.
That design was an overhead-valve (OHV) four-stroke engine, an idea far ahead of its time in Japanese motorcycle manufacturing, where most were using lawn-mower-like flathead engines. An OHV engine allows higher rpm because it offers less restriction to airflow through the engine. Its more compact squish combustion chamber also allows a substantial boost in compression ratio, giving not only more pulling power, but better fuel economy too. The single-cylinder 146cc E-type engine could go 220 miles on a gallon of fuel, yet delivered 5.5 horsepower, and in an impromptu test, a test rider took the two-speed prototype on a rainy ascent of the Hakone Mountains, while Mr. Honda followed in a car. The machine made the climb easily, in top gear, averaging 45 mph.
By 1952 demand for the Dream E was brisk, despite the existence of some 200 other motorbike producers. In fact, the E's sales success allowed the company to raise new money, which was used to renovate or build three manufacturing plants, as well as buy sophisticated machine tools and production equipment. It also enabled the company to cut its dependency on suppliers and set up its own distribution network. The Dream E design is regarded as the turning point in Honda's early history for all those reasons--and two more.
The Dream E showcased Mr. Honda's technological genius, and ambition. Honda pushed forward faster than the competition. Other manufacturers could not develop engines as innovative and sophisticated as Honda could, nor as rapidly, and soon began to fall by the wayside, until of the nearly 200 only four now remain. Moreover, the Dream E was one of the first times Mr. Honda was willing to bet it all simply on the strength of an idea. That approach--the belief in bold engineering solutions--became the company's trademark, and is still true today. You can see it in such products as the Interceptor®, the Silver Wing®, the FourTrax® Foreman® ES, and the FourTrax Foreman Rubicon™. By 1952, the Honda Motor Company wasn't out of the woods yet. But it had learned a way of doing business that would allow it to grow and prosper in the years to come.

The prescription for criminal teen car lust in the 1970s? "Joy Ride - An Auto Theft," an educational film exploring questions like "Why would anyone leave their keys in a '68 Satellite?" and "What does 'dudeing' mean?"
The plot: Two youths tire of playing an unplugged pinball machine liberate a Plymouth from the chains of ownership, get attacked by ovum-wielding barbarians and lure two female companions into some pre-Atari roleplay. All of this happens with a soundtrack capturing the Gordon Lightfoot vs. coke-fiend-with-a-Moog feel of the era. Being an educational film from 1976, you can guess how tragically it ends. (Spoiler alert: Very.)
If you're like us, this film seems far more educational now than it likely was 34 years ago. For being an unlicensed punk with a Prince Valiant haircut, the kid driving really knows how to handle a Plymouth on Mulholland Drive. Tiny British sports cars still ooze cool along with all their other fluids. And no one tell Hemmings about the Ford in the woods; they may launch a search party.
Also, hot shots? Still annoying.

Last of a two-part series
MONTREAL — Look at the condition of the pavement on any local street, and consider this: Some of the asphalt that isn't good enough to be poured on a provincial highway in Quebec winds up on municipal streets.
The information, which is anecdotal, comes from the Transport Quebec roadwork supervisors who turn away deliveries of sub-standard asphalt on provincial highway work sites around the province, said Michel Paradis, a Transport Quebec engineer responsible for testing and research on asphalt in one of the department's pavement laboratories in Quebec City.
"It's sad to say, but it often happens at Transport Quebec that we refuse deliveries of asphalt on our work sites because it doesn't have the right characteristics or it arrives too cold or there's some other problem with the load, and truck drivers leave and they'll use it in a municipality's (road-paving) contract because there's no surveillance," he said.
He added it's the truckers working for private paving companies who have told the department's supervisors they would pass on the asphalt to municipal projects.
In light of testimony at the Charbonneau Commission examining corruption in Quebec's construction industry confirming collusion in many Montreal municipal roadwork contracts, The Gazette sought an expert to understand standards for road paving, how long it's supposed to last and how an entrepreneur's hand might help road surfaces prematurely degrade, generating more roadwork.
Paradis tests asphalt that winds up on Transport Quebec highways for its resistance to rutting — the grooves made in the road surface by wheels. He also researches new recipes for asphalt and ways to recycle old asphalt stripped off the road to use as aggregate in new mixes.
The best way to understand paving is to understand that asphalt — the top surface of a road that is poured on at usually 40 to 60 millimetres in thickness — is a recipe.
It's 95 per cent granular material, such as crushed stone, gravel and sand. The remaining five per cent is asphalt binder, the black petroleum product that acts as the molasses to bind the material together.
A freshly repaved road should last 10 to 15 years, Paradis said.
But how it's laid is as vital as how it's made.
"You can make an excellent asphalt in a laboratory, but if the entrepreneur takes it and isn't handy enough, or doesn't have enough compactors on the site or it's too cold or the work is done at night or he waits too long and the compaction is done when the asphalt is already too cold, it leads to weaknesses in the layer of asphalt," he said. "So the service life should be 10 years, but if it's poorly laid, it could fall to five years maybe, or six years."
But the opposite is not true, he added. "If you make bad asphalt in the laboratory, then even if you lay it properly the asphalt at its base is bad so it won't last."
Normally, a rut develops at a rate of two millimetres per year, Paradis said. So if the pavement is 10 or 15 years old and it has a 15-millimetre rut, it's normal wear and tear, he said.
"But if you get a 15-millimetre rut and your pavement was laid two years ago, then something didn't work somewhere," he said. "Either the asphalt was no good or it was poorly laid."
And if it shows that kind of premature degradation, it has to be replaced to ensure motorists can safely use the road, he added.
Paradis described how the service life of well-made asphalt can be prematurely shortened because of the way it's laid. It's mostly because of overheating, allowing the asphalt to take on an uneven temperature, or inadequate compaction.
Overheating the asphalt beyond its maximum temperature of 170 C "is the worst catastrophe," Paradis said.
"You can reduce the service life of asphalt by five times if you overheat the asphalt."
If overheated, the binder in the asphalt mix loses the properties that make the asphalt resistant to cracking, he said.
Paradis said his lab has done research on overheated asphalt. Asphalt that was 2½ years old and had been overheated before being poured showed the same degradation as 15-year-old asphalt, he said. "That's why overheating asphalt is the worst thing you can do."
And overheating happens, he said. But Transport Quebec has devised means to control the problem now, he explained.
For example, a site supervisor from the department will measure the temperature of asphalt when the road-paving company delivers it to a work site.
"If, for example, it's October, and the asphalt plant is 30 kilometres from the work site and your asphalt arrives at 170 C, then it means it was higher when it was at the plant."
The department can also check the data kept at the plant to find out to what temperature the asphalt was heated, he said.
Moreover, an experienced supervisor can spot a slight but telltale colour change in the asphalt. "You see a little bluish smoke in it (when it has been overheated). When you work long enough in this, you can detect it on sight."
As well, if there's no cover on the truck that transports the asphalt, the top of the asphalt mix will cool and form a crust while the rest of it will remain very hot. The paver that it's fed into can't blend it enough to make the temperature uniform, he said. The uneven temperature will make the pavement degrade prematurely.
However, the Transport Department now has material transfer vehicles that can re-blend the paving material before going into the paver, he said.
Transport Quebec's supervisors also now use an infrared camera behind the paver to monitor the different temperatures within the asphalt that's being poured, using thermography to ensure it's uniform, he said.
The supervisor measures the thickness of the asphalt not with a ruler or measuring tape, but by calculating the pour rate to figure out the average thickness given the quantity of asphalt that arrives on the site and the surface area it's to cover.
"It's also one of the major points that's controlled," Paradis said, referring to the thickness that winds up being laid.
Compaction is another important factor, he said. If the asphalt that's poured isn't compacted properly, water will be able to seep in and the winter freezing and thawing will degrade the pavement more quickly.
Transport Quebec has norms for each ingredient in the different recipes that are appropriate to the climate and conditions of different regions of the province, Paradis said. The norms are for the quality and size of the stones as much as for the binder, he said.
One of the considerations for the asphalt binder, for example, is choosing one that's resistant to the heat and humidity of a Montreal summer.
And Transport Quebec sets a higher standard of quality for high-traffic arteries such as the Décarie Expressway, otherwise the greater demand on it would wear it out more quickly than a less-travelled artery, he said. For example, Transport Quebec required steel slag in the granular base of the asphalt that was used to repave the expressway in the early 2000s, he said, because it's durable and not slippery. It helps resist rutting, he said.
Paradis said he doesn't have precise examples of where the sub-standard asphalt rejected at Transport Quebec work sites has wound up or how many times it's happened, but he said Transport Quebec's site supervisors "advise us of this often.
"Often what we hear is that loads of asphalt that arrive non-conforming on a Transport Quebec work site are transported to other work sites that are less monitored. It arrives at the municipal level.
"It comes up pretty frequently in discussions with (our) work site supervisors."
Paradis said he believes the difference comes down to budgets for monitoring roadwork.
Transport Quebec has 14 regional offices, each with technical teams, engineering teams and private laboratories.
Various Transport Quebec laboratories are responsible for inspecting roadwork, others for setting norms for different types of mix, he explained.
The department has teams that ensure quality and the best methods for laying the asphalt, employing specialists in road foundations, structure, asphalt and concrete.
It also has a team that follows up annually on each section of provincial highway that gets repaved for the subsequent five to seven years, tracking the rate of the appearance of ruts and its overall degradation.
Transport Quebec has a database of information on the sections of highways that are repaved.
Those databases list the quality of the asphalt, the way it was laid and how it behaved afterward, Paradis said. They also contain video of each section of road, he said.
And Transport Quebec has a battery of site supervisors to inspect the asphalt that arrives and monitor how it's laid.
Not surprisingly, municipalities don't have the resources for that level of surveillance, Paradis said.
"Not at all," he said.
"Montreal and Quebec City have a certain amount of control, which is a bit less than Transport Quebec, a little less regular.
"But when it's a smaller municipality without the technical staff, without as much means, often it's the control that often goes out the window. No one will measure the pour rate, the compaction of the surface, check temperatures, if it was well done."

Launching iTunes in Russia was sure to result in a few bumps in the road for Apple, but Cupertino probably wasn't expecting anything like this. Users that tried to check out the iTunes store found the software was displaying some fairly explicit adult content rather than mainstream video and music. It turns out it's all because of those pesky .XXX top level domains.
There were no sites that ended in .XXX (instead of say, .com) until just recently. ICANN approved the .XXX domain for adult content usage beginning in September of 2011, and many companies have taken advantage of it. There are plenty of .XXX domains already registered, and one of them is apparently XXX.XXX. Can you see where this is going?
The Russian iTunes software was created with URL placeholders in exactly that format: xxx.xxx. A few years ago, that wouldn't have gone anywhere. Now it resolves to hardcore Internet porn, which results in Apple's iTunes software suddenly becoming filled with ads for all manner of lascivious pornography. Users began gleefully taking screenshots and spreading the good news almost immediately.
As you would expect, Apple shifted into damage control mode when the error was discovered. The Russian iTunes was taken down, and many other regions are experiencing outages as well. This may or may not be related.
If nothing else, Apple has learned a valuable lesson: the Internet is a big place, and no matter how much you want to pretend otherwise, most of it is porn.

Two planes clipped at Miami International Airport Thursday, but there were no injuries from the incident, a MIA spokeswoman said.
An inbound Aerolineas Argentinas Airbus A340 arriving from Buenos Aires clipped an outbound Air France Boeing 777 that was parked at the gate, said Maria Elena Levrant of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department.
Air France Flight 695 was preparing to depart with 350 passengers for Paris.
"It was just like a big jolt, and then shaking, and then it stopped," passenger Bente Densen said.
Looking out their windows, the passengers saw part of their plane's wing destroyed. Emergency crews flooded the scene.
The Aerolineas Argentinas aircraft was taxiing to a gate when the collision occured in the ramp area near Gate H-10 at 5 p.m., Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said.
The flight to France was cancelled.
"They didn't send nobody to tell us something. We're just standing here and waiting and waiting and waiting," Valentino Hutu said.
Aerolineas Argentinas Flight 1304 had 240 passengers on board.
Levrant said the planes did not touch each other at a high speed. Passengers said they heard and felt quite an impact, however.
"Boom. We knew something happened," Teva Benshlomo said.
The Air France passengers were going to be put on a different flight going to France, Levrant said.
Some people played games to pass the time, while employees rushed to try and figure out how to get the hundreds of passengers where they wanted to go.
The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board are investigating, Levrant said.
The airport set a record for the most passenger and cargo traffic last year, with 39.5 million passengers and 2.1 million tons of cargo.
Just last month, a Spirit Airlines aircraft clipped a parked US Airways jet at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

on 28.02.2018 regarding ERGO LINE II PRO | Fabric - Professional Office Chair Black:
I am extremely happy with this chair in most respects. The quality is terrific, and the comfort is very good too. I have only two gripes, one a little more serious than the other :
- The lever which adjusts the front-to-back position of the seat cushion does nothing. The cushion will not move - it seems to be locked in position. I may need to disassemble and reassemble the chair to see if I can free it.
- The more serious gripe is actually what I consider to be a design flaw. When I sit in the chair with my lumbar region against the backrest, the back of my trouser or jean waistband systematically slips under the lowest backrest bar, and gets hooked under there. I have to constantly move around to stop that from happening. I may even need to block that gap with a small cushion or something, which is a real pity!
Other than those gripes, a fantastic chair and great service from HJH. Thanks!

The old adage that big crops keep getting bigger is proving true this year. USDA's forecast for ending stocks of corn was substantially higher than expected, and soybean stocks are mounting as well, according to July's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE).
"Certainly, it is a sobering report," says Jim Bower, president of Bower Trading in Lafayette, Ind. Bower was the commentator on a post-report MGEX press call.
New-crop projected corn ending stocks are more than twice as large as last year, and soybean ending stocks are three times as large as last year.
"There seems to be an air about the market to let the commodity markets skink lower. There's a psychology globally that we are adequate in supplies," says Bower. "We will probably make our lows earlier in the market than we usually do."
Beans Piling Up
USDA appears to have found a significant amount of old-crop soybeans, raising the ending stocks figure from June's 125 million bushels to 140 million, much higher than the anticipated 128 million.
"That 140 number was one of the most negative in the report," says Bower.
USDA estimates U.S. soybean production at a record-high 3.8 billion bushels, up 165 million bushels from June due to an increase in harvested area. Harvested area, forecast at 84.1 million acres in the June Acreage report, is 3.6 million above the June WASDE forecast.
USDA left the soybean yield unchanged at 45.2 bushels per acre. This year's record crop is expected to generate ending stocks of 415 million bushels, slightly lower than the average trade guess of 418 million but 90 million bushels higher than last month's estimate. Ending stocks are up a whopping 28 percent from last month's WASDE report.
USDA lowered its seasonal average forecast for new-crop soybeans by 25 cents to $9.50 to $11.50 per bushel, with a midpoint of $10.50 per bushel.
Following the report, both corn and soybean prices sank on the Chicago Board of Trade.
Corn Not a Record...Yet
USDA expects corn production to be 75 million bushels lower that what the June 30 Acreage report indicated due to a decrease in harvested acres. USDA left its projected national average corn yield at a record-high 165.3 bushels per acre.
"Favorable early July conditions and weather support an outlook for record yields across most of the Corn Belt," says USDA in this month's WASDE report. "However, for much of the crop, the critical pollination period will be during middle and late July."
Analysts note that two-thirds of the nation's corn crop still needs to pollinate, which will occur over the next two to three weeks. If all goes well, average corn yield could easily hit 166 or 167 bushels per acre.
"The market is telling us that corn yield will be higher," says Bower.
USDA forecast corn production at 13.86 billion bushels, just 65 million bushels below last year's record-high production. USDA reduced feed and residual use of corn by 50 million bushels based on lower production and higher projected feeding of sorghum.
Projected new-crop ending stocks of corn were higher than expected at 1.8 billion bushels, up 75 million bushels from June's report due to higher beginning stocks and lower feed use. Higher ending stocks more than offset the decline in production.
The average trade estimate heading into the report for new-crop ending stocks was 1.774 billion bushels, 1.5 percent lower than USDA's projection.
USDA lowered its projected seasonal average corn price by 20 cents to $3.65 to $4.35 per bushel, which puts the midpoint at $4 per bushel.

(Reuters) - What do a former U.S. Army special operations officer, a computer scientist and an experimental psychologist have in common? Data.
James Reese first came across data analytics company Saffron Technology when he was an officer with the U.S. army's Delta Force.
"I was first turned on to Saffron Technology while we were doing special operations in the Middle East," Reese said in an interview. "It does predictive analysis a lot faster than you and in military terms allows us to think faster than the bad guys."
Saffron Technology is a small data analytics company that uses technology that mimics the way the human brain connects between people, places and things, except at a much faster speed.
The company was founded by two former IBM Corp employees: Jim Fleming, a computer scientist, and Manuel Aparicio, who has a PhD in experimental psychology with a focus on biologically based neuro-computing.
Its technology was originally used in Iraq to predict where bombs would be located, but now it offers its products to corporations such as Boeing Co, which uses the technology to forecast when aircraft parts need to be replaced.
When Reese retired in 2007 to start security company TigerSwan he stayed in touch with Saffron Technology CEO Aparicio and eventually decided to partner with the company.
Reese, who joined the army after his football scholarship came to an end more than 20 years ago, now combines his expertise of special operations with data analytics for companies looking at mergers and acquisitions in emerging countries.
"I call it true diligence," Reese said, explaining that his staff will vet executives and companies looking for anything from cartel connections to fraudulent entities beyond what accountants can do by using "human and artificial intelligence."
The ability to forecast and identify patterns or behavior by analyzing structured data inside databases and unstructured data from social networks, mobile devices, meters or sensors is a rapidly growing market.
According to research firm IDC the business analytics software market will grow almost 10 percent a year to $50.7 billion by 2016.
TigerSwan, which Reese started in his living room, is now active in 23 countries with a staff of 250 and revenue of $35 million.
"I'd like to see us at $100 million in three to five years and become an employee-owned company," Reese said.
TigerSwan and Saffron compete with much larger companies such as the privately held SAS Institute and IBM.
Asked if privacy issues ever come up, Reese said the company works with lawyers to ensure its methods comply with privacy laws.
Thanks to his past with Delta Force Reese says he can fall back on a network of trusted people to work with no matter where companies are looking to go.
"Someone can call me in the middle of the night and say we want go to Nigeria, Ghana and I can say got it, we got folks there," Reese said. "You have to do it with a local presence; you can't do it by bringing in a bunch of Americans."

G'day all,
First post! Sorry, yes, it's both a help thread and about a laptop for gaming... I realise such a thing is exorbitantly expensive and many people seem to reply to these threads with no info other than "you know you can buy a desktop with those specs for 1/4 the cost". But I'm in a situation which dictates that I cannot have a full desktop setup, and need something "portable". Obviously a 17" laptop isn't too trim, but it's a lot easier to move around than a full desktop. Anyway, the problem remains...
I was fairly keen to go ahead and buy an Origin EOS17-SLX but have just come across the Maingear Nomad 17 and am now considering going for that instead; mainly due to the price. For a much better spec'd build the Maingear is cheaper than the SLX (pretty comparable to the 17-S). I just wondered if anyone on here had any further info on either of the machines/companies and reasons one might be better than the other? They are both pretty ugly, generic cases, but the only real advantages I can see of the SLX is the programmable keyboard led's (wank factor) and the clickable trackpad. I suppose the ability to fit run two GPU's could also be handy, but if I want to upgrade I'm hoping it won't be until a much more powerful single GPU is on the market anyway. In any case if anyone has any pointers or advice on any of the Maingear/Origin machines I'd love to hear em!
Cheers all,
I've never heard of Origin or Maingear so I dont have anything to offer there.
dunno if it helps, but there was a thread about gaming laptops posted just the other day
id just buy a name brand laptop myself, would work out cheaper and probably easier to support.

|Fresco of St. George at Ják, c. 1256
This weekend - the weekend after Saint George's Day - mark the 800th anniversary of the foundation of the Benedictine monastery of Ják. It is known that the monastery was established by Márton "the Great" comes from the Ják kindred some time before 1223 (when its abbot was first mentioned). Circumstantial evidence puts the date of this foundation to the year 1214. The abbey church was dedicated to St. George, who was a favoured saint in Hungary during the late Árpádian period, and one particularly liked by the Ják kindred. The abbey church, built in late Romanesque style, was finally dedicated in 1256. Construction thus lasted for a few decades, and was not without interruption. The church is one of the most monumental examples of early thirteenth century monasteries erected by noble families in Hungary - other examples include Lébény or Türje. It was built as a three-aisled basilica, with a massive western part with two towers and a gallery between them. Construction started on the northern side, then continued on the southern side in the second phase. After a change of plan it was decided to vault the entire church, and it was in this phase that the western area was also built. This phase of the work - during the 1230s - is characterised by strong connections with the building workshop of Bamberg cathedral. In the end, the church was not fully finished as planned - work was interrupted either by the Mongol invasion (1241-42), or by the death of Márton comes in 1250. The central and southern aisle of the nave was not vaulted, only covered with a flat wooden ceiling - but the church was considered finished by the 1256 consecration. The western portal of the church, as well as its additional carved decoration, and also its painted decoration make the church one of the most important 13th century monuments from Hungary. The rotunda standing next to the abbey church was also built in the 13th century, around 1260.

The church was restored several times, most extensively between 1896-1906. The massive stone spires of the towers, and the vault of the central aisle were added at this time. Literature on the church is extensive, especially in Hungarian and German. You can find some photos on this website, including images taken before the late 19th century restoration.
More recently, the exterior of the church was cleaned. With the current festivities celebrating eight centuries of the Abbey, the goal of the organizers is to raise money for the restoration of the frescoes in the church, especially the fresco of St. George painted on the wall of the main apse. You can read my study on these frescoes, from a 2001 catalogue dedicated to Benedictines in medieval Hungary (the study is in Hungarian).

Story highlights
- Hundreds were injured in Texas fertilizer plant explosion
- The Red Cross is helping to locate loved ones and collect blood donations
- The Salvation Army is providing food and shelter as well as assisting returning residents
- Several shelters have opened across the town of West,Texas
A massive explosion at a fertilizer plant Wednesday night left much of the small town of West, Texas, in ruins. Even as the nation mourned the victims of Monday's bombings in Boston, the new disaster left hundreds of people in West injured, homeless, and in need of help.
"These are our neighbors, they are coming to help," Waco Police Department Sgt. William Patrick Swanton said Thursday. "You will find that in Texas. You will find that across the United States. We put everything aside when it comes to these types of situations."
Here's what you can do.
Give blood
With more than 160 people injured and others unaccounted for, the need for blood is great and will increase. Currently The Blood Center of Central Texas and Texas Voluntary Organizations Active in Disaster are asking primarily for O positive, O negative and type A blood. The Red Cross of Central Texas has a complete list of area locations currently taking blood donations.
Shelter, food and clothing
The Salvation Army quickly mobilized in Texas to provide food, drink and emotional and spiritual care to the survivors and first responders in West. It has set up several locations in and around the town.
In addition to nourishment and counsel, the Salvation Army has set up a Joint Assistance Center, where returning residents can register for case work and assistance with the Salvation Army and other agencies. The best way to assist The Salvation Army's efforts is through financial donation, which you can do here. In addition, Texas Gov. Rick Perry's website has a list of shelters currently taking in victims as well as a list of local organizations taking donations of clothing and other helpful items.
The Texas Rangers are also collecting donations and other items at some upcoming games.
Connect with loved ones
The Red Cross has activated its "Safe and Well" website locally in West, so if you are looking for a loved one you have not been able to reach, or if you are a victim and cannot reach your family to let them know you are OK, please use this website. In addition, the government has established a hotline for information on victims and survivors: 254-826-4115. There are also numbers for all of the local hospitals available on Perry's website.
Make Donations
Baylor University is fifteen minutes away from the town of West and consider all of its residents as their neighbors. University spokesperson Lori Fogleman said that thirteen students, forty-three faculty and staff and two hundred and sixty-two alumni call West home and so the university is pledging to support this town in its recovery. They've established the West Relief Fund and will collect donations for specific projects deemed necessary by city officials in West. "Absolutely 100% of the profits will go back into the city of West," Fogleman said. They will work together with city officials to determine what is needed and then students and faculty will lead groups in completing each project using the funds the university has raised.
The National Fallen Firefighters Relief Foundation has established a fund to assist the survivors and coworkers of those first responders who died in the tragedy. The local fire station and its equipment was also badly damaged and is asking for donations of gear. If you do have something you wish to donate, please contact them at www.firehero.org/contact
The Society of St. Vincent dePaul's is also collecting both monetary and material donations. They are sending disaster case management teams to meet with survivors throughout the recovery process.

Check out the latest projects here:Project Logs
Highlight of the show for me believe it or not was a Ford 400E van on the Villiers stand. This was stunning in the work that had been done to restore this if that is the right word because the van had only done 27,000 from new.It looked to be an early model, possibly 1959 / 60 ? the guy was busy on the stand so didn't have a lot of time to ask questions.

i was put on this earth to bang my head endlessly against the keyboard
to splatter pollack jizz on white white white white paper and to listen
to jazz alone in rooms with no windows and ageless space and dull air
air that's been processed far too many times in and out of my lungs
exhausted carbon dioxide monoxide dihydrogen oxide and blood
these walls they bump like raised veins through skin and my lonely om
is the tone that brings them so close to climax in this heroin binge
this lapdance to the past half of my life as i approach sigh my
quarter life crisis
i was put on this earth to bang my head endlessly against the keyboard
and walk down endless sidewalk approaching dawns and dusks that want
absolutely freaking nothing to do with me the sun is far too busy
trying to keep up with his endless addendum to wonder about me
don't you worry about me, darling, i'm just fine swimming in the tempest
in my teacup, the sound of howling wolves echoes through porcelain skulls
turned upside down and as i lay in this mug that says "life's a bitch" on it
i stare up at the night stars of moab and realize that we are just as close
as we are far from this timeless waltz, timeless waltz, timeless waltz
this masquerade of atoms in the eve, bowing and curtsying in the garden of eden
we keep digging for the garden in the middle east with guns like shovels
and diplomacy like pails but our king's cup runneth over, our holy grail
spilleth in rivers of blood as baby moses is swept away into the dead sea
when really we should turn our eyes to the skies and see that peace is floating
it is orbital, it is all around us, the intentional space between the skydiamonds
that do not compare how bright they shine they just be and burn the midnight oil
of themselves and we trek to work to make the coffee to fax the paper to
shake the hands to kiss the ass to assist the customer to spin in chairs and
try to mimick the gravity of being shot into space but we just wear our monkey
suits to work and trek to giant metal death machines through energy drive thrus
and past last call and we cheers our glasses to fiscal responsibility while the
karaoke machine just cries in the corner. an electric death. an empty orchestra.

Dayan Viciedo – If I were Viciedo's hitting coach, he would drive me absolutely nuts. From my seat down the third base line, he finished every swing looking in my direction which left me feeling a bit self conscious. When he made contact, the ball exploded off of his bat, but he only made solid contact with two strikes. His bat speed is elite, but his mechanics are messy. He should adapt his two strike approach to be his every pitch approach which would not only shorten his swing, but help take advantage of his tremendous bat speed. At third base, he was iffy at best. His arm was solid average, but he didn't move well laterally and his hands were just so so. With his size, I'm not sure he's a great fit in left field or at first base either.

Often when I make dinner I find myself making alternate side dishes because my kids (or husband 😉 ) won't eat one of the sides I have made. I love my veggies and eat a wide variety of them. The kids (and Aaron) do eat a nice variety (broccoli, green beans, corn, peas, carrots, salad and potoatoes), but not nearly as many different ones as I do. One of my fall favorites is sweet potatoes/yams. In the baked or mashed state, no one will touch these in my house aside from me. Don't ask me why, they are all crazy. However, I know from buying the Alexia Frozen Sweet Potato Fries, they will eat them in the French Fry form. Hmmm. So, for dinner last night I took 3 sweet potatoes/yams (I am not really sure which they were, they taste the same to me) and sliced them into thin rounds and placed on a baking sheet to make "fries". The kids loved them! I was shocked! I sprinkled them with some cinnammon after baking, so that may have helped. Our meal last night was filet mignon for Jon & I (strips/pieces of beef tenderloin in a pan for Hannah ~ she won't eat it in steak form), sweet potato "fries" and steamed broccoli. Hannah even asked for seconds of the fries!
Sweet Potato "Fries"
3 or 4 medium size sweet potatoes or yams
sea salt
1. Scrub & peel sweet potatoes. Slice into thin rounds.
2. Spray baking sheet with Pam. Lay potatoes in a single layer on the pan. Spray the potatoes with Pam. Sprinkle with sea salt & pepper.
3. Place baking sheet into oven (375 or 400; I started at 375 and upped it to 400 half way through). Total baking time is about 30 minutes. I flipped & checked on them every 10 minutes.
4. Sprinkle with cinnamon when they come out.
After baking:
So now I have another side to add to my rotation. I hope they continue to enjoy these. It is really important to me to make sure they get a balanced diet that is full of fruits & veggies and low in fat and processed foods. I have also cut back on foods that contain HFCS (high fructose corn syrup). I would love to say that I have cut it out completely, but there are a few things (Heinz ketchup is the big one) that I can't (won't) part with and I believe that in moderation, it won't hurt us. I have made sure that the bread that I am buying for Hannah & Aaron has no HFCS. Why is it necessary in bread? I mean, come on! The kids do have "treats" after their meals, but only when they put in a good effort and eat their fruits & veggies. Their "treats" and snacks are usually home-baked goodies, Slow-Churned Ice Cream (lower in fat & calories than the full fat versions), fruit, cheese (usually 2% milk varieties), crackers, peanut butter on fruit or veggies, nuts or popcorn. I also make sure to incoroporate whole grains into our meals. This is really important for Jon and I, as GF bread options are not usually rich in whole grains. We eat a lot of whole grain brown rice, whole grain brown rice pasta and I am working on introducing quinoa to the fam. Not sure how that will go over. I may just fib and tell them it is a different kind of brown rice. 🙂 I also bought some flax seed meal to start adding to my home baked goods and foods. Sneaky, sneaky!

While fans of "New Moon" are howling over the success of the franchise's latest installment, the two big stars of "The Twilight Saga" just started Tweeting.
Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart took to Summit's new "Twilight Saga" Twitter account on Monday to show their appreciation for fans after the film placed third in all-time opening weekends, earning $140.7 million. It was the first non-summer film to have reached such high numbers.

"Thank you for making NEW MOON #1," Rob Tweeted to the fans. "It's very exciting to be a part of something embraced by so many people."
He continued in an additional Tweet, "I hope you are looking forward to ECLIPSE as much as I am."

Kristen joined in a couple hours later with, "You all have proven you're the most amazing fans in the world once again. I feel so lucky to be a part of The Twilight Saga and thank you for making us #1!"
"Yes, I twittered," Kristen followed up with. "Or twitted..tweeted? I dunno, but thank you sooo much anyway..!"
While this was the first time Kristen has Tweeted, Rob had once before entered the Twitter-sphere. In September, Rob took to co-star Peter Facinelli's Twitter account.
