The University of Hawaiʻi at Hilo hosts a free public presentation featuring two members of the Maui EV (Electric Vehicle) Alliance on Tuesday, February 26 at 2 p.m. in UCB 127.
Project Director Dr. Anne Ku and Ethan Elkind, climate policy associate at the UC Berkeley School of Law, will discuss a recent study done to prepare Maui for EV's. EV's in Paradise: Planning for Developing Infrastructure in Maui Count, examined barriers, incentives, and other issues that can serve as templates for other isolated grids and island communities with similar challenges.
Ku, who lectures in mathematics and music (piano) at UH Maui College, holds degrees in electrical engineering, operations research/decision sciences, and music. She writes a regular column for Maui Weekly called "EV in Paradise," and directs the monthly "Maui EVA TV" which airs on cable and YouTube.
Elkind has organized and facilitated high-level stakeholder meetings on various energy-related topics such as energy storage, renewable energy, energy efficiency and electric vehicles. He has also written and published numerous studies on energy-related matters for California policy makers including "Electric Drive by '25: How California Can Catalyze Mass Adoption of Electric Vehicles by 2025," published in September 2012.
Maui EV Alliance (Maui EVA) is the name given to UH Maui's EV readiness project. Maui EVA was the only education institution to receive one of 16 planning grants awarded in October 2011 by the U.S. Department of Energy's Clean Cities program. It was also named the most innovative electric vehicle readiness project in the country by Green Tech Media in December 2012.

Professional Community for Car Dealers, Marketing, Advertising and Sales Leaders
'The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones.'
- John Maynard Keynes
If the goal of automotive retail is to not only embrace eCommerce, but behave like eCommerce then we must first understand that continuing to plug technology into an old and established sales culture will be the slowest road possible to achieving this. By hanging on to a traditional dealership sales culture for dear life, we will continue to force the consumer to operate in the dealers world as opposed to the world they know. One of abundant information and never ending engagement and sharing of ideas and experiences. Our industry can no longer afford to convince itself that their are two different types of customers, the internet savvy and the other kind.
Transparency seems to be the biggest issue. Dealers hear the word "transparency" and the first thing that comes to mind is "invoice" or worse! The fallacy here is that transparency isn't about price at all, it's about information. When a well researched consumer enters into your sales process and is being led through the "steps of the sale" they are waiting for the justification of all of the time they spent online researching this purchase. In most cases that information doesn't meet the surface until the first pencil. That is why it appears to be about price, because that is when the consumer finally has no choice but to either reveal their hand or retreat back to their computer to verify what you have told them.
I am not at all suggesting that we should bring price to the surface early on. I am suggesting that we open the "internet" window much earlier in the sales process. Google says that the average consumer uses eighteen different online sources of information before visiting a dealership, which is more than most people use to research an elective medical procedure. You have a great opportunity to put your customer at ease by acknowledging that they are informed and well prepared to make this very important purchase. If the "Zero Moment of Truth" is second only to the sales experience at your store, why wouldn't you want them to become more seamless.
Is there any reason that you wouldn't want to know the answer to any of these questions early on in your sales process?
Since I have never been a fan of the term "qualifying" I will refer to this as the "Digital Needs Assessment". What you achieve by asking these questions, is that you can reveal buying motivations as well as gaining insight into what the consumer knows and may not know. What is more important is that you are acknowledging that they are well informed and that you are not at all put off by it. It is important to welcome this information with a smile and a positive attitude. Now you can focus on building value and telling your dealers story. Let's stop working the steps to the sale pretending that we'll be able to overcome that "internet" hurdle when we get to it. Getting to it early can remove a lot of tension and be a very effective tool, not to mention shave hours off of the process.
One of the worst byproducts of forcing car shoppers to play by the old rules is that dealers continue to lay fertile ground for third parties to develop marketable strategies that help consumers to circumvent those rules. Although these sites can arm the consumer with a wealth of information, it can also place the consumer into a tenuous situation. If the sales person or dealerships primary goal is to work against the customers knowledge by discrediting it or ignoring it, this will cause the consumer to give even more credence to the research and information that they found online. This of course will create doubt in the consumer and the need to "go home" and re-examine their findings.
I have often heard sales people tell their customer "an educated consumer is our best customer" Why not just show them?
Here we can more closely examine the "Digital Needs Assessment" questions and open the floor to suggestions and ideas.

@John L Mecham Your analogy is well-taken and on the mark.
@Rob Fontano I love your beginning quote from John Maynard Keynes, "The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones."
It may seem that we can't be creative and develop new ideas and methods until the old ones are completely discredited or cataclismically destroyed. Where shall we begin?
On and on... endlessly. Experimentation and proof are needed in an arena where ROI must be proven in order to do anything. It feels safer to take shelter in proven methods, even when they're failing. That is human nature.
Excellent insights Rob. While you in the US may have a slightly different economic/automotive culture, I think this is going to be an interesting development anywhere around the globe. People are able to access all kinds of information much more readily, increasingly demand the ready supply of information -- and increasingly trust those who are ready to supply it. In a world where buyers can shop anywhere -- meaning there is less incentive for localised repeat custom -- I think they will repeatedly return to where they felt they were best informed.
Excellent thread -- you are all right on the money. Marc, I agree that we have to provide the tools and guidance to help dealers sell the value and differentation (as Michael pointed out "We need to sell the product, dealership benefits and ultimately ourselves"); if you're not selling that, you have nothing left to talk about but price. One of the best tools for implementing a transparent, value-building selling approach is the iPad. It provides a credible, visual platform with CONTENT to support the salesperson (without content it's just a toy). Dealers who are using it appropriately (remember we're not talking just price) find that this transparency builds trust, and that's when customers are comfortable buying. Additionally, when you're building enough value on many fronts, and they see that value, they're willing to pay more. In full disclosure, our product IntellaCar is built on this entire philosophy: Equip the salesperson with the iPad-based tools and training to provide a value-building, transparent relationship that results in a Wow customer experience. Then watch your close rates and gross increase -- but it's only a result of the disciple to do it right. Incidentally, you can easily/consistently do a "digital needs assessment" every time, right on the iPad.
I'm glad so many are stepping up to the plate and addressing a key need that the focus needs to come off of price.
The industry as a whole has been dominated by selling on price. Just turn on a TV during local newscasts or sporting events, read a newspaper (although this is shrinking rapidly), or look at the top lead gen sites in the industry. The consumer has been set-up and conditioned to buy on price! It's the old school adapted by the leaders of the new school on new communications platforms. But it's the same material!
After talking with a great many dealers at DD12 I believe that is one of the biggest reasons for the meandering speed of uptake to new devices. The industry still views price and the ability to sell at a price as a key component in their value statement. While everyone would like a better bottom-line from the front of the house, the measuring stick is still top line. Beat last year in volume. Profitability of that volume is still second.
The key to faster uptake is to make sure the dealers not only have the right tools to communicate today, but have the right value statements to support those tools to effect the change they would like to see. Yes part of that is discipline, understanding, and commitment on their end, but we as vendors of these tools should have some responsibility to make sure they have the information, guidance, and ability to effectively use those tools to differentiate.
Deal. It is great to find another Zig fan. Great article Rob.
John, Thank you for the incredible re-telling of one of my favorite Zig teachings. We should get together sometime and "riff" on the Schwinn Bicycle story!
Cary, Thank you for spreading the word!
Zig Ziglar tells a great story about how we tend to behave as humans and how we resist any kind of change. I will paraphrase his "Cutting the end of the ham off, we've always done it this way" story. A large family got together for Thanksgiving. There was great grandma, grandma, mom and a young, newly wed daughter. The young newly wed was in the kitchen with her new hubby preparing the ham for the oven. The young lady took the ham out of the package and promptly cut both ends of the ham off and tossed the ends in the garbage. The new hubby was shocked and asked why she threw away that perfectly good ham? She said,
"We always have done this ever since she could remember".
Puzzled, the young hubby again asked why, what is the practical reason for doing this? She said her mother did it and she guessed it was to help the heat dissipate better or something. He said, let's ask your mom. They brought mom into the kitchen and asked her why she cut the ends of the ham off before cooking. Mom said she too had always done it this way and was taught by her mom. She reckoned it was to help the juices cook better. Not satisfied, the young hubby suggested they ask mom's mom. They invited grandma into the kitchen asd asked her the same question. Grandma said she had always done it this way and was taught by her mom. She supposed it was to make sure the meat cooked uniformly or something like that. Finally the young hubby said, let's bring in great grandma and ask her. Great grandma, walker and all strolled into the kitchen with the help of her young newly wed great granddaughter, was asked why she cut the ends of the ham off before cooking. Calmly and with a sweet gentle voice, she said, "My roaster was too short".
Yes it is time we recognize that the internet is solidly here to stay and we must embrace it. Recognizing this fact and adding great questions like Rob suggested will make us all better. Selling is still an emotional process and the final price is a result of how well the value proposition was delivered, not the way we have always done it.
Love the article...am sending to all of my dealers that didn't attend DD12!! Thank you.
Great comments on a really great article. Thanks Ralph. I think you'll find there are some stores well ahead of the curve on what we understand to be "transparency". One Toyota and (shameless, I know) Wilsonville Toyota for example have turned the traditional approach on its head, blurring the line between what information is held close to the vest and what information is shared openly with our customers. But even here at Wilsonville, we are under a constant struggle to understand at what point, and to what extent, pricing information is shared with customers. They want it online. You know you need to give it to them online. But as long as transparency in so many of those 18 points of contact is defined as "getting the lowest price", that will always be our kryptonite I guess. Again, great post. And very insightful comments so far.
I've been talking about that for years. I think we hang on to stuff because it's what we know. At some point, any of us that have done this a while found success that way. But is not how people want to do business. You only have to open your ears to hear that's what they're saying.
But I deal daily with the conflict between the 60's mentality and methodology so rampant at the retail level and the direction I've been trying to move things for years. It was really great seeing you this weekend and finally feeling a little vindication for knowing that I've been right in the way I've tried to make it work all these years. Nice work.

A few NHL teams have had some tough decisions to make over the last few days, as their youngest of talent reached the ten game mark, the point of return or no return where NHL teams decide to send back to junior or keep the young players on their active rosters.
A few had an early head start on their journey, having been told to pack their bags, the latest being Winnipegs' Mark Scheifele, who was returned to the Barrie Colts, a move the Jets no doubt will help season him for next year and a full time slot with the Jets.
Likewise, the Ottawa Senators decided that their young prospect, Mika Zlbanejad would best learn his craft for one more year back in Sweden, even though he was a most pleasant surprise in the Senators camp this early season.
Some of the young guns however made impressions and made the cut , having made it rather hard to hand out the return to junior tickets.
Among the tour to draftees that remain in the Big Leagues for the season are:
Gabriel Landeskog of the Colorado Avalanche, Sean Couturier of the Philadelphia Flyers and Adam Larsson of the New Jersey Devils.
However, leading the parade of the prospects in the quest to stay up in the Big League, was Ryan Nugent Hopkins of Edmonton, if ever a junior wants the blue print on how to stay up with the big team, Nugent-Hopkins has provided it.
In the short ten game trial period, none of the youngest of guns has captivated the hockey world more than the exploits or Nugent-Hopkins.
On two consecutive Hockey Night In Canada nightcaps, he was one of the top players on the ice, he scored two goals in his HNIC debut and came close to recording a third, again a week ago, Nugent-Hopkins gained one of the Oilers goals in a 2-0 victory over the Rangers.
There are some NHL teams that probably wish they could find scoring at that pace by November, Edmonton had it before Halloween.
His pace seemingly made the choice rather easy for the Oilers who added him to the regular season roster full time last week, it may be a long, cold winter in Northern Alberta and there have been some long seasons steeped in disappointment in the last few years, but the future sure looks bright as the line of Nugent Hopkins, Taylor Hall and Jordan Eberle offer up some reminders of the glory days of another Oiler team steeped in youth.
One which if we remember correctly had a pretty good run of things over time.
Edmonton Journal-- Awesome to remain an Oiler: RNH
Edmonton Journal-- Coach has phenom playing to his strengths
Edmonton Journal-- Another stiff test for young guns
Edmonton Sun-- Nugent-Hopkins stays in the bigs
Edmonton Sun-- The Oilers took their Tweet time
Edmonton Sun-- "It would be Pretty Silly"
Edmonton Sun-- Ovechkin touts Oiiler young-guns' 'sick' moves
Edmonton Sun-- RNH a keeper for Oilers
Globe and Mail-- Nugent-Hopkins to remain with Oilers
National Post-- Nugent-Hopkins sticking with Oilers

Pine Ridge, South Dakota
Holy Rosary Mission Parish is located on and serves the Lakota people of the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in Pine Ridge, S.D. Laypeople, Jesuits and sisters are present for their community each day and continue to make the commitment to the Holy Rosary Mission ministry and to the people of the reservation.
Pastoral ministry began at Holy Rosary in 1890 with the westward expansion that delivered Christianity to the Lakota. Sacred Heart Church was the first Catholic church organized on the reservation in 1890. Services were conducted in a converted store building until a church was completed in 1927. This served the growing community until the present-day, larger Sacred Heart Church complex was dedicated in 1972. Sacred Heart Church serves the largest congregation on the Pine Ridge Reservation.
With six active churches, three active missions and one school chapel, Holy Rosary Mission's pastoral ministry programming serves more than 800 families on the reservation. Outreach initiatives in religious education, youth ministry, recovery ministry and leadership development ensure that these families, and so many more, have a safe and supportive environment to gather and share.
The Jesuits also run three schools on the reservation: Our Lady of Lourdes Elementary School, Red Cloud Elementary School and Red Cloud High School. Red Cloud High School boasts 57 Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship recipients, the highest per capita in the country.

Liberty News
Liberty purchases shopping center near campus
Liberty University Chancellor Jerry Falwell, Jr. has announced that Liberty is the new owner of Candlers Station shopping center, adjacent to campus. The university closes today on the 270,000-square-foot property, with major tenants that include Staples, Cinemark Movies 10 and T.J. Maxx, among others.
Falwell said Liberty's Board of Directors saw the property as a "golden opportunity."
"We see it as a long-term investment for Liberty University's endowment," he said. "Liberty University is finally in a position, after years of pioneering growth and financial struggles, where our management decisions are centered around how to invest for the future."
With a return of between 11 and 14 percent annually on the $16.3 million purchase price, the property could pay for itself in seven to eight years, he said.
There are no plans to change the use of the property in the short term, he added, and the university is already talking with two possible tenants to fill the 55,000 square feet of available space.
"The stores are doing very well; it's a healthy shopping center," Falwell said.
He said Liberty's board, which met and approved the decision to purchase the shopping center in November, thought the acquisition "made perfect sense" not only because of the return, but also because of its close proximity to campus, allowing the university, should needs arise, to use that space in the future.
"If we happen to lose enough tenants [in the long term], we would convert it to university use in the future — but our hope is that that will not occur until long after we have recouped our investment," Falwell said.
Liberty already owns a commercial lot adjacent to the center (beside Applebee's), donated to the university by the shopping center's original developer, Bob Hughes, in 2008.
Dr. Ron Godwin, Liberty's vice chancellor, recalls hearing Liberty founder Dr. Jerry Falwell talk about one day acquiring the Candlers Station property.
"It was one of his bucket list things," he said, noting that, for Liberty's future expansion, "it was a logical direction to go in." He said Falwell had even talked about building a pedestrian tunnel to access the area.
But Falwell, Jr. said his father never thought it would be a possibility, at least in the near future, "because it was such a thriving shopping center" — with a price far out of Liberty's reach.
But now, with the economic downturn in retail markets, "it's miraculous timing," he said. He learned last spring that the property was to be sold as a package, along with several other shopping centers, by a large real estate investment firm, but at the last minute, the buyer decided to purchase all but one — the Candlers Station center.
"That's providential," Godwin said. "One property out of this package of shopping centers didn't sell and so it became available to us."
This is not Liberty's first real estate investment venture. Liberty became the owner of the 50-year-old Plaza shopping center in Lynchburg in 2007 and has spent more than $500,000 in repairs and enhancements there. According to Falwell, the Plaza is generating a large return for the university every month.

Immune Depression: What's wrong with my pigs?
Download our handy checklist for diagnosing pig mycotoxicosis that you can cut out and keep with you for reference.
A number of biological agents are able to compromise immune integrity of animals, from mycotoxins to infections to drugs. A single instance or concomitant administration and poisoning of the above mentioned caused by these elements can undermine through suppression or disrupt regular development of body defenses and are resulting in lower performances, increased disease outbreaks and vaccine failures. Most often the syndromes stem from so-called "conditioned diseases" such as E. coli, Streptococcus, Salmonella, Pasteurella, Influenza, etc.. It is well known nowadays that diseases come from multifactorial causes; immune depression can let loose many latent infections, presenting a challenge for practitioners regarding etiology and therapy.

Testing your DVB device
This page provides a few suggestions on how to test that a DVB card installed on your system is functioning properly. It won't tell you how to install the specific hardware that you have (see How to install DVB device drivers for some generic instructions). Nor does this page describe the use of feature rich viewing software. But it will describe to you some steps on the command line that are indispensable for quick setup and viewing with DVB hardware.
Again, this article assumes that you have already physically installed the device into your system, and have also installed the driver for your hardware and have the proper modules loaded (i.e. you should at least have a /dev/dvb/adapter0/ directory. If you have additional DVB devices installed on your system, they will be assigned an increased adapter number accordingly).
Using dvb-apps
1. Obtain the dvb-apps package
See the LinuxTV dvb-apps article for details on how to obtain the package. The dvb-apps package contains several useful tools.
2. Scan for the channels you can receive
Refer to the scan article for details of how to perform this step. Once familiar with the content of that article, you will recognize that this step can be summarized (in general form) by:
mkdir ~/.{a,c,s,t}zap dvbscan /path_to_the_initial_scan_file > ./{a,c,s,t}zap/channels.conf
3. Tune a frequncy and program
Refer to the zap article for details of how to perform this step. Once familiar with the content of that article, you will recognize that this step can be summarized (in general form) by:
$ /usr/bin/{a,c,s,t}zap -r -c ~/.{a,c,s,t}zap/channels.conf "channel name"
where azap is used for ATSC, czap for DVB-C, szap for DVB-S and tzap for DVB-T.
If dvbscan is unable to resolve the audio or video PID values for a channel, a manual adjustment in channel.conf is required. The correct values may be determined using using dvbtraffic.
4. After you've tuned a frequency and program
a) You could now start up your simple TV watching application and decode the stream you have tuned.
For example, while keeping {a,c,s,t}zap running in the first console shell, open up another console and run
mplayer /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 <options>
If you have more than one dvb device installed in your system, then you will have to pass the correct adaptor number. See the mplayer man page (i.e. in a console run "man mplayer") for a lengthy list of options.
b) Or, you could now start up a datastreamer
c) Or, alternatively, you may want to see some statistics of what's coming in for each channel and PID. Example:
$ /usr/bin/dvbtraffic

And finally
Using dvbsnoop
If the testing steps in the dvb-apps section above work fine, you can jump over this section here. On the other hand, dvbsnoop is a small, down-to-earth utility that is very handy for debugging and also seeing what is occuring with a dvb device (i.e. tuning works? data coming in? signal strong enough?).
1. Obtain the dvbsnoop package
Install it, e.g. with debian:
# apt-get install dvbsnoop
Apparently, dvbsnoop isn't in any of the usual Fedora repositories at this time (Feb 2007). Instead, download a copy directly from the source forge site using steps similar to the following. Note this is for version 1.40. Your download URL (and the extracted directory dvbsnoop-bin-i386-1.4.00-api3) will change as succeeding versions of dvbsnoop are published on Source Forge. Also you may wish to copy the binary dvbsnoop out to a more convenient directory in your path, rather than the deeply buried directory ~/dvbsnoop/dvbsnoop-bin-i386-1.4.00-api3/bin-i386-api3 which, in this example, contains the binary. Then ./dvbsnoop will not be required, just dvbsnoop as shown in the debian example below.
$ mkdir ~/dvbsnoop $ cd dvbsnoop $ wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/dvbsnoop/dvbsnoop-bin-i386-1.4.00-api3.tar.gz?modtime=1124046233&big_mirror=0 $ tar xvzf *.tar.gz $ ls $ cd dvbsnoop-bin-i386-1.4.00-api3 $ ls $ cd bin-i386-api3 $ ls $ ./dvbsnoop -help $ ./dvbsnoop -s pidscan
2. Testing with dvbsnoop
Try things like
dvbsnoop -help dvbsnoop -s pidscan
This will give out a lot of numbers, but if you understand the system of DVB you should see if they make sense. Go for one of the PIDs (choose a right one which is a bit difficult as you don't know what they stand for unless you used the scan line above) and try:
dvbsnoop -s bandwidth <PID> dvbsnoop <PID>
The latter will spit out a lot of hexdumps - at least you receive something ;-)
Save a TV program to your hard drive
The handy thing about digital TV is, it comes in as a digital stream that you can save right away to your harddisk without any changes necessary to it. Therefore, hardly any CPU resources are needed -- just a lot of HD space (few GB per hour as the stream is MPEG-2 which is not as compressed as, for example, DivX/MPEG-4). There are several ways to do this. For example:
a) Using the combination of {a,c,s,t}zap and cat'ing the logical dvr device to save a program stream to disk
If you have a channel tuned with {a,c,s,t}zap (and note that you MUST also be using the -r parameter to set up the logical dvr device in order for the following to work; see Zap for detail), open up another shell console and run:
cat /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr0 > <filename>
The result is that particular program stream will be written to disk, and you should be able to play it back at any later time with your favourite media player.
b) Using the combination of {a,c,s,t}zap and test_dvr to save an entire transport stream to disk
c) Saving to disk with dvbstream
dvbstream is a good program that can save a stream to disk and more.
Install it, e.g. with debian:
# apt-get install dvbstream
Let's tune into a channel with tzap as described above, and then you can just save the stream into a file like this:
tzap 'BBC ONE' dvbstream 600 601 -o > bbc1.mpeg
So this is why it's important that you have your personal channels.conf file with all the PIDs so you can look them up. Instead of using tzap you can do it all in one - tune the frequency and select the right PIDs:
dvbstream -f 578000 600 601 -o >bbc1.mpeg
Wait a few seconds and then press Ctrl+C to stop. You can open the MPEG file with players that play movie files (decode MPEG2), like Mplayer, (g)xine or noatune.
If the file is rather small, e.g. smaller than 1 MB after a minute of recording, then you can't receive this TV channel - maybe the reception is bad (too weak antenna signal) - or maybe your card's frequency is not tuned for the right sender? Watch out, some PIDs come up a few times (but for different frequencies).
This might not be what you wanna do every day (unless you only watch BBC1 or you can easily memorise all your channels with their two PIDs) - but it's very fast and easy to do these steps, e.g. for a test.
More Software - next steps
You have a lot of choice. MPlayer, Xine, Kaffeine , Klear are probably the first choices selected for light TV watching with a DVB card.
Alternatively, you could use dvbstream and then watch the MPEG-2 stream (even possible on a different computer) with programs like Xine, MPlayer etc.
For "Media Center" type applications, the usual first suspects are Freevo, MythTV, and VDR (note: you'll need to install the VDR Software Decoder Plugin if you want to use VDR for watching with a software decoding card).

'Tennis today badly lacks characters'
For Rafael Nadal dignity in defeat is a deeply held belief and, along with his arch rivals, the Spaniard has put the gentleman back into the gentlemen's singles at Wimbledon.
Compare that with the catfight that broke out between Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova in the lead-up to the world's most famous tennis tournament.
Nadal, who tumbled out of the championships in a straight sets defeat by Belgian journeyman Steve Darcis on the opening day, declined to blame his wounded knee despite persistent questioning at the post-match news conference.
He doesn't do excuses.
The Spaniard, like Roger Federer, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic, is a great believer in mutual respect. The leading quartet on the men's circuit do not indulge in slanging matches.
That prompted Latvian player Ernests Gulbis to complain in an interview with French newspaper L'Equipe last month that: "Tennis today badly lacks characters... all four of them are boring players. Their interviews are boring."

Sharapova and Williams launched into a verbal scrap ahead of Wimbledone
You certainly could not say that about Russian Sharapova and Williams who launched into a verbal scrap worthy of the best soap opera scripts.
In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, defending Wimbledon champion Williams controversially spoke about a high-profile teenage rape case in Ohio prompting Sharapova to say the American should not comment on matters outside tennis.
Last week's article also included an account of a private conversation between Serena and her sister Venus that the reporter interpreted as an attack on Sharapova's relationship with Bulgarian player Grigor Dimitrov.
Then the fur really flew. Sharapova told the world number one to keep her nose out of other people's business and Williams hastily sought to broker a truce.
It is hard to imagine, say, Djokovic and Murray locking horns like that or even slagging off each other's pet dogs.

The men's game is thin on bad boys
Long gone are the days of sound and fury, on and off court, between John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors. The men's game is thin on bad boys but Nick Bollettieri, one of the sport's most influential coaches, is not surprised.
Bollettieri, who crafted the careers of 13 Grand Slam winners from Andre Agassi to Monica Seles, said: "Back in the times of Yannick Noah, Ilie Nastase, Jimmy Connors and McEnroe, that was more like going to a festivity, to an attraction."
"You went there because you knew that during the match you would hear all the words in the alphabet, all the cuss words; you are going to see balls flying, everyone was challenging the umpire. That went down quite well but there were other people like the Lavers and the Rosewalls and they did not do that. If everybody did that, we would have a problem."
Bollettieri, whose Florida academy helped to change the face of tennis, argued that Djokovic still plays around enough to make it amusing while people talk about Murray's tennis prowess now he has Ivan Lendl as his coach.
"Lendl is so stoic you wonder if he has teeth in his mouth but when you get to know Lendl he is quite comical," said Bollettieri, as sprightly as ever in his eighties with a dapper dress sense to match his exuberant personality.

'There's nothing boring about greatness'
Bollettieri, clearly full of admiration for Nadal, said the Spaniard would never put on a show like "Nasty" Nastase because he doesn't have to. "He does fireworks but in a way that is amazing," he said.
He also made the point that when it comes to socialising, the tour has changed beyond all recognition. "Back in those days, the guys would have a beer together," he said. "Players today have an entourage."
"If you compare Federer to McEnroe, we need both of them to make the game," Bollettieri said.
"There's nothing boring about greatness," former Wimbledon champion Chris Evert said on an ESPN conference call ahead of the tournament. " Those top players... are at a level by themselves. That will form rivalries.
"So I don't think 'boring' is the right word. I wished the women had four up there like the men do right now. Right now it just seems to be one," she added referring to world number one Williams.

'I get bored as well in the press room talking about a 6-2, 6-2 match'
As for Federer, he is quite happy for today's players to follow his Mr Nice Guy example but does concede Gulbis might have a point.
"I get bored as well in the press room talking about a 6-2, 6-2 match. I wish it was different too but it is how it is and sometimes you just get it done," said the Swiss seven-times Wimbledon champion.

How much is WoW gold worth these days?
I think you'd be lucky to get 5,000 gold for $25.
Come Cataclysm that's what I'm expecting to pay on my one-off purchase.
Of course I will be buying directly from Blizzard, not from any of the account hacking gold sellers.
Likewise I won't truly see 5,000 appear in my WoW bank, but I will be saving it.
As they say, a copper saved is a copper earned.
Now Gnomeaggedon won't be out of pocket either way, Squidly on the other hand will have to make a request to the exchequer of the Gnomeregan exchange for 5,000 and I already know the outcome of that request…
So I have no doubt that Squidly will make an exchange on the grey money market (or is that green?) to ensure that he can ride in luxury without disturbing Gnomeaggedon's nest egg.
310 flying speed will cost 5000 gold or an existing 310 speed mount.
Gnomeaggedon completed the long strange trip, but Squidly has not. As I haven't been playing the AH with any enthusiasm since Burning Crusade the bank balance is healthy, but not overflowing.
With the Aussie dollar at silly highs at the moment the real world purchase of a flying mount is a really viable, verging on sensible option.
So I will say up front, thank you blizzard for opening goldselling directly from the Blizzard store!
Even if it means I end up with THAT pony!
Value for Money
Speaking of value for money, Gazimoff has done it again!
Of course if you are on the Mana Obscura Mage Forums, you would know this already!
Seriously, why would you be reading this mis-information when you can be reading Mana Obscura?
I see Roxton at Great Balls of Fire has also been getting it on with a pile of guides on racials and Mage specs for Cataclysm
See.. that cost you neither 5000 gold nor $25.. value at it's finest!
Seriously… time to unsubscribe here… and subscribe somewhere more Mageworthy!
Gnomer and Out!

I love Sundays. It's a day of rest, relaxation, and some errands as well. 🙂
The morning started with a breakfast date with my husband. We went to J. Christopher's to eat. We had a coupon they had mailed us a while back.
I absolutely love this place! They have the best pancakes ever. Of course, I did not get pancakes today because I was in the mood for something a bit lighter.
I ordered a San Bernadino omelet made of egg whites. It had chicken, avocado. cheese, and pico de gallo. It was a very tasty omelet. Next time, I might order it with less chicken and more avocado, but otherwise it was good. The omelet came with some breakfast potatoes and an English muffin.
Believe it or not, I managed to stop myself from eating the whole meal. I actually stopped eating when I was full. Yay!
Normally when we eat out, I stuff myself silly until I am so full that I feel like I am going to be sick. This is the second meal that I have eaten out and left the restaurant feeling satisfied, but not stuffed.
After breakfast, we had to go to Whole Foods and the Farmer's Market for some healthy items that I had run out of. I stocked up on plenty of great items. The Farmer's Market was insanely packed. They were predicting snow, so of course the entire state was in panic mode.
At the Farmer's Market, I stoked up on lots of healthy goodies.
I bought a few pears, some fresh pineapple, an avocado, cherry tomatoes, blackberries, cashews, peanuts, a yellow bell pepper, some potatoes, freshly ground sirloin, and some hamburger buns that are out of this world. Quite the haul!
After our trip to the grocery store, we came home and bundled up for a run (with Callie of course). It was 30 degrees outside, but I wanted to get in a day of 10K training since I hadn't run in a few days.
I think the cold was a bit much though. Instead of a full 46 minute walk/run, we ended up doing about 30 minutes. I started feeling like a migraine was coming on. I think it was all the cold air hitting my face and my head. I tried not to beat myself up for cutting my walk short. Something was better than nothing, right?
Corey loaned me his sunglasses and hat to help warm my face a bit. It did help a little. My eyes were hurting from the sun and the wind, so the sunglasses helped.
When we got home, I wanted a warm and comforting lunch. So I turned to my favorite comfort food: grilled cheese and tomato soup.
The tomato soup was a brand that I bought at Whole Foods. I forget the name, but it's one of the few that I have found without MSG. And it is good! The grilled cheese was made out of standard organic multigrain bread and some American cheese. It was an excellent lunch in this weather.
After lunch, I still wasn't feeling well so I slept for a large part of the day while Corey took care of some things around the house. I guess Callie was tired from our walk because she napped right along with me.
My appetite wasn't much to speak of throughout the afternoon (because of my headache), so I didn't snack that much. In the afternoon, I was catching up on some blogs and my husband brought me a mug of Gingerbread Spice tea. Mmm . . .I love this tea and contrary to popular belief, it's not just for Christmas. It was very comforting.
When I did start feeling better (and hungry), I wanted to use my brand new food processor to whip up a snack. A couple of days ago, I noticed a recipe for Raw Honey Cookie Bites on Kat's blog. They seemed like an easy and healthy snack.
And I was right. They were. I think I may just add a little more honey next time because the mixture seemed a little dry. But they were so good and just the right amount of sweetness. Next time, I may play around with the spices a bit. Maybe I could add some pumpkin pie spice? I can't wait to whip up another batch for me to take to work. They will be perfect for a portable afternoon snack.
For dinner, Corey cooked a rotierrsie chicken. It was cooking in the oven for a few hours and the smell was rejuvenating my appetite.
With the chicken, we had a baked potato and some roasted green beans.
Well . . . I had the green beans. Corey doesn't like the unfamiliar and the new, so he still won't eat them. Poor boy, he is missing out. 🙂
After dinner, I decided to do a workout. I was feeling better and the mood struck me. So I did the Jillian Michaels 6 week 6 pack DVD that I bought yesterday.
I love this workout! There are two levels. I started with level 1 and it was very tough, but effective. It is 35 minutes and a mixture of standing and floor work. I was feeling it in my abs by the time I was halfway through it and the workout kept my heart rate up the entire time. I was huffing and puffing from the warm up alone. I don't like the name of the workout though. I mean, how realistic is it to develop a six pack in six weeks? But the moves will definitely strengthen my core.
Now I am relaxing with my husband before bed. I am so incredibly excited because it is snowing! Here in Georgia, we don't often get a lot of snow. So the fact that we are expecting 3 to 5 inches overnight is pretty awesome. I can't wait to play in it tomorrow. 🙂

- 4 large Idaho potatoes (large enough to hold a dove or quail inside, about 1 pound each)
- 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 large (6-ounce) cleaned quails, rinsed and patted dry
- 4 fresh sage leaves, plus 4
- 4 ounces prosciutto di San Daniele, cut into long, thin slices
- 2 tablespoons butter, plus 2 tablespoons
- 1/2 cup dry white wine, plus 1/2 cup
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh rosemary leaves
- 2 tablespoons bacon fat or butter
- 1/4 cup minced onions
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 6 ounces chicken livers, rinsed and patted dry, and chopped
- 8 ounces fresh porcini mushrooms, wiped clean and stems trimmed, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
- 1 tablespoon drained capers
- Grilled Radicchio
- Chopped parsley, garnish
- Black grapes, garnish
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Rub each potato with 1/2 teaspoon of the olive oil, and season lightly with salt and black pepper. Place on a heavy baking sheet and bake until very tender, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Cut the potatoes in half lengthwise. With a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out the pulp into a large mixing bowl, leaving a thin potato border along the skin. Place the potato shells on a baking sheet and reserve the potato flesh for another use.
- Salt and pepper the quails inside and out, and place 1 sage leaf inside each. Wrap each quail in prosciutto.
- In a large ovenproof saute or braising pan, heat the remaining 1/4 cup of olive oil and melt the 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the wrapped quail and cook until browned on all sides, 6 to 7 minutes. Remove the quail from the pan. Add 1/2 cup of the white wine, brandy, 4 sage leaves, and 1 tablespoon of rosemary and bring to a boil, stirring to deglaze the pan. Cook until the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes. Return the quail to the pan and cover tightly. Roast until the quail are cooked through and the leg meat is just pink, 10 minutes, basting once.
- Remove from the oven. Place 1 quail into 4 potato halves and cover with the remaining potato halves and place in a gratin dish. Deglaze the saute pan that held the quail with white wine over medium-high heat and, stirring, cook until the pan juices are reduced by half. Remove from the heat and pour over the potatoes. Return to the oven to bake until hot, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- In a large skillet heat the bacon fat over medium-high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the livers, mushrooms, the parsley, capers, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper, stirring to break up into small pieces. Cook until the mushroom liquor has almost all evaporated and the livers are almost no longer pink. Add the reduced pan juices and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and stir to combine. Remove from the heat and adjust the seasoning, to taste.
- Remove the quail from the oven. Place 1 quail-stuffed potato on each of 4 plates. Serve with Grilled Radicchio, top with the sauce and garnish with bunches of black grapes and chopped parsley.

I am brand new to java programming and am having a heck of a time trying to figure this out. I need to create a weekly temperature program that asks the user to input the day, the high temperature, and the low temperature for that day. The total high and total low will be calculated as I enter the high and low temperatures. After all seven days have been entered, an average high and average low will be calculated for the week. I need to use a for loop, while loop, or a do-while loop to enter the temps.
I need to display the output as:
The average high temp of the week: (high average).
The average low temp of the week: (low average).
I have been working at this program trying to figure out what I need to do for hours. I am totally lost. Any help would be appreciated.
This is what I have so far:
import java.util.Scanner; public class assignment3a_Temp { public static void main(String[]args) { Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in); int low = 0, high = 0, count, avghigh = high/7, avglow = low/7; String day; //************************************************* for(count = 1; count <= 7; count++) { System.out.print("Enter day " + count + " of the week."); day = keyboard.nextLine(); System.out.println("Enter day " + count + " low temperature."); low = keyboard.nextInt(); System.out.println("Enter day " + count + " high temperature."); high = keyboard.nextInt(); } System.out.println("The average low for the week is " + avglow); System.out.println("The average igh for the week is " + avghigh); { } } }

Kay zapped Father Lonigan upstairs to the church sanctuary after her first attempt brought Esme. Kay asked Father Lonigan to baptize Tabitha, but he refused, saying he knew all along that Tabitha was a witch, because Alistair told him. Eve, Kay, and Julian tried to convince Father Lonigan that if he didn't baptize Tabitha soon, all of Harmony would be destroyed. Father Lonigan didn't believe them at first, because he didn't hear anything about a volcano from Chief Sam Bennett or his men when Father Lonigan was downstairs. Tabitha decided to leave, but Father Lonigan changed his mind upon hearing that Tabitha embraced goodness by sacrificing her evil powers to save everyone who was poisoned at the rehearsal dinner. He apologized to Tabitha, and Tabitha accepted his apology, but he said he couldn't baptize her without hearing her confession first. Tabitha thought that would take too long.
Theresa begged Ethan not to leave her and run off with Gwen, but he was convinced he had to do the right thing and stay true to his marriage vows. Then everyone heard the videotaped confession of Gwen admitting that she revealed Ethan's true paternity to the tabloids. Ethan called Gwen an evil bitch. Gwen tried to talk her way out of it, saying that Little Ethan must have doctored the tape, making it look like she said those things. Ethan didn't believe her, choosing to believe his son instead. Theresa was overjoyed, and everyone congratulated Theresa. Even Ivy apologized to Theresa for believing Gwen and Rebecca over her for years. It was obvious to Ivy that Theresa loved Ethan, Ivy said, and Ivy welcomed Theresa to the family. Ethan told Gwen that he didn't want Gwen raising his son, Jonathan, and he wanted Theresa to raise his son instead. Gwen refused to accept that Ethan chose Theresa over her. Gwen accused Theresa of lying and putting Theresa's needs over those of Ethan and Little Ethan.
Theresa brought up the fact that she let Little Ethan donate part of his liver to Jonathan, and she defended herself against all of Gwen's accusations. After hearing Gwen and Theresa's exchange, Sam and Luis arrested Gwen and Rebecca for bribery, blackmail, and being accessories to the murders of Pilar's sister and nephews. Rebecca resisted at first, then acquiesced with the request that a handsome officer could strip-search her. Gwen told Sam he couldn't arrest her for murders that happened in Mexico, because it was outside his jurisdiction, and Sam suggested he detain Gwen until the district attorney reviewed Gwen's involvement with Juanita and her plot to blow up the church. Ethan told Gwen that was the reason why he chose Theresa.
Father Lonigan admitted that it was the usual course for priests to hear the confessions after the baptism, but he said he felt he needed to make an exception for Tabitha and hear her confession first. Tabitha agreed to confess her sins, and Endora fast-forwarded time to save time. Father Lonigan's ears were steaming after hearing all that Tabitha did. Everyone came upstairs and filled Eve and company in on how Theresa and Ethan were back together. Julian told them that if Tabitha wasn't baptized fast, no one would live their lives out happily in Harmony, and Eve told them about Mt. Harmony erupting and threatening the town. The earth shook, and Kay figured it was the dark side trying to keep Tabitha from being baptized. Fancy and Paloma couldn't believe Kay, and Julian promised to explain later. He asked Endora to use her magic and make it so that Tabitha could get baptized. Endora's magic stopped the ground from shaking, and Father Lonigan baptized Tabitha. The lava from the volcano still seemed to be flowing, and Kay figured the baptism needed time to work. While they were waiting, Esme and Kay filled everyone in on what happened with Tabitha and Endora. The volcano seemed to quiet, and Julian remarked on how the baptism seemed to save them, and said Timmy was right.
A glow suddenly came over Tabitha from above, and she raised her hands to the sky. Everyone stood and looked up as the glow enveloped them too. Tabitha thanked Timmy and embraced goodness. Tabitha said there was only good in Harmony-no more demons or evil. Julian announced that from that point on, Crane Industries would only do good and Endora was his inspiration. Ivy needed a drink, and Esme said she was way ahead of her. Rebecca and Gwen were suddenly zapped into polyester gray prison garb, punishment, it seemed, for their misdeeds. Rebecca remembered how she took Gwen to Las Vegas once to help her get over Ethan. Gwen married some guy she met, and Gwen thought that was a dream. It seemed that Gwen was married and never got divorced from the guy. Ethan realized that if Gwen was married and she never got a divorce, he didn't need an annulment, and he and Theresa could get married. Theresa asked Kay to "hocus pocus" Gwen and Rebecca off so Theresa and Ethan could get married.
Father Lonigan agreed to marry Ethan and Theresa, and before he could perform the ceremony, Endora healed Father Lonigan's eyes and made him see again. He said they looked as he imagined they would. Tabitha hadn't aged a bit, he said. Kay zapped Theresa and Ethan into wedding attire, and Sam said having a witch in the family would be fun. Miguel agreed, and Tabitha thought it was better late than never. Endora said things were perfect, and Tabitha said it would have been perfect if Timmy were there. Then Tabitha looked down and Timmy appeared next to her and took her hand.
Theresa walked down the aisle, and while they were watching her, Fancy told Luis that Fancy was pregnant. Luis was excited, and Sheridan told Antonio that would be them some day, and Sheridan couldn't wait to have children with Antonio. Noah told Paloma at least they were waiting to have children until they were more financially viable. Paloma said that was the plan, and she admitted that she was pregnant. She wondered if Noah was angry, but he was ecstatic. Kay volunteered to fix Julian's penis, and Eve and Julian said they would be grateful to Kay if she could. Kay grabbed Julian's hand and performed her magic, and Julian felt that his penis was "in good standing again." Tabitha said Timmy was right and God's love was heavenly.
At the altar, Theresa asked Ethan if they were really getting married or if it was their fantasies played out as reality. The music stopped, and they paused, but Ethan told her it was reality. Theresa felt like something would happen to stop them before they could get married, and suddenly, Gwen and Rebecca were back. Rebecca was wondering why they couldn't have a happy ending, too. An officer stopped them and said they were too late. Father Lonigan said if they were sincere about being good, they would get their happy ending, too. A donkey was heard, and Rebecca said that was her happy ending, but Gwen wondered about hers. The officer asked Gwen out for when she got out on bail. Theresa thought that was their last interruption, and Esme asked for help, saying she was out of booze and on the brink of sobriety. She told Theresa and Ethan to hurry up and get married so they could start the reception.
Ethan said his marriage vows to Theresa, and she said hers to him. They were pronounced husband and wife. They kissed, and everyone applauded. Theresa said she learned after all the years to always follow your passion because that would lead you to your happy ending. The balloons and confetti fell as the theme song played and everyone cheered. Tabitha held a picture of Timmy. Then the whole cast and crew were in the church applauding as Timmy was heard singing.
This episode marks the final episode of Passions.

We have a WWE 1000 Memorable Moment. Triple H talks about his return from his quad injury.
We see a video package for the WWE Title Match between CM Punk, Daniel Bryan, and Kane.
Josh Mathews is in the interview area with John Cena. Josh asks John if this is the last time that we see John Cena in WWE. John says that he knows what is on the line tonight. John says that he posted a quote that says if he leaves tomorrow, would you remember him. Everyone is waiting for No Way Out because they know what is at stake. The stage for Wrestlemania 29 is the back drop for tonight. One man usually puts everything on the line. After tonight, we know that someone will get fired. Tonight's extravaganza will shake the foundation of the WWE. Will it be him or John Laurinaitis. After tonight, the face of the WWE will change and there is no way out of that.
We see the video package from Raw when Vince was supposed to tell John Laurinaitis of his fate in WWE only to be stopped by Big Show. We see the ensuing fracas.

As a result of some really bizarre email, it has come to my attention that someone posted this rude and inexplicably intolerant message using my name and address. It is not yet clear whether this was some sort of error, a tasteless practical joke, or something more insideous. Although I am not a participant in this newsgroup, I expect that several of my friends and colleagues are. Let me assure you that I find this comment as tasteless as you do, if not more so. If we haven't chatted lately, I would love to hear from you now that you have my address (that's the bright side). On the dark side, it is somewhat scary to think that any of us could have our reputations damaged by comments misattributed to them. Bill Segraves segraves at biomed.med.yale.edu

Inspiration and a passion for life. Blue skies and crystal-clear lakes. Small medieval towns and vibrant cities. Bavarian traditions and warm hospitality. Mystical forests and snow-capped mountain peaks. Outdoor activities and relaxation. UNESCO World Heritage and a wealth of cultural attractions.
The diversity of Bavaria
Introducing the Free State of Bavaria in southern Germany with Munich, the regional capital, and its picture-perfect countryside. Unspoilt natural surroundings, healthy air, a wealth of culture and the proverbially laid-back Bavarian attitude to life are its hallmarks. Bavaria's medieval castles and small towns, magnificent palaces and baroque churches, not to mention its urban centres, provide the perfect setting for everything from traditional festivals to high opera. A harmonious blend of the traditional and the modern.
Holidaymakers in search of relaxation or those with energy to burn will love the region's many sparkling lakes, its national parks and nature reserves, its myth-enshrouded forests and sun-drenched vineyards, its dramatic hills and, of course, the majestic Alps – home to the tallest peak in Germany, Mount Zugspitze. The Romantic Road, the Castles Route, the German Alpine Road and many other popular tourist routes are the best ways to explore these richly varied landscapes.
World-famous attractions
Countless idyllic villages, medieval seats of power and of course Munich – the region's capital – are the hallmarks of Bavaria. Other prominent features include gorgeous palaces, ornamental baroque churches, medieval abbeys and mighty castles. Famous internationally are King Ludwig II's Neuschwanstein Castle and the UNESCO-listed ensembles of Wieskirche pilgrimage church, the Roman Limes, Würzburg, Bamberg and Regensburg. All in all, Bavaria has more than 100,000 architectural monuments, more than 1,200 museums and collections and 40 first-class venues for theatre and opera. Traditional events in the region include the Oktoberfest in Munich, the Landshut Wedding historical pageant, the Oberammergau Passion Plays and Nuremberg's Christmas market.
But it takes more than just scenery and cultural attractions to attract such a huge number of visitors year after year. Which is why Bavaria also offers a range of dependable, quality-certified packages focused on wellness, families, the outdoors (in summer and in winter), culture & cities, food & drink and business travel

Maybe not terrible mom of the year but the best bad joke teller award.
That cover of your book looks amazing. The story sounds fun. I cant wait to read it! ;)
- March 30, 2011 at 8:14 AM
- Terri Osburn said...
I'm giving cover love as well. Beautiful. LOVE that shade of blue.
As a single mom of a pre-teen girl, I'm sure she'll need therapy eventually, but thanks to her, I need it right now. I think that makes us even.
BTW - Mine wore dirty jeans to school today and I did not notice until after we left the house. I can only imagine what her teachers must think of me.
- March 30, 2011 at 8:28 AM

Sometimes, I notice too late that my tween is wearing slippers, or the same sweatshirt she's worn for seven days, etc. That's why I drink.
- March 30, 2011 at 9:08 AM
- Terri Osburn said...
She wore these jeans to a party Saturday where they had a cake fight. Dried white frosting on black jeans. Nice.

Thanks for stopping by and letting me know that other Mom's have issues too! I really dfo love my kids and try to do right by them, but sometimes the laundry does get behind!
- March 30, 2011 at 10:01 AM
- Cheryl Ann Smith said...
Thanks sugarcreekstuff. I do like to joke! I tell my kids that they don't have to think I'm funny, as long as I find myself funny!
- March 30, 2011 at 10:03 AM
Oooh, I saw that cover in the RWR ad and was drooling.
And actually, I'm the worst mom ever. I realized I'd inadvertantly put a dirty onesie on under my 15-month-old's dress only after I'd dropped her off at daycare. Lovely green paint stains on the sleeves. I'm sure her teachers want to give that award to me. For sure.

I do love my cover too! Thanks!

Don't worry, Cheryl. Bad mothering imparts survival skills - or so I tell myself.
I can not wait to buy this book!
- March 30, 2011 at 10:37 AM
- Beppie Harrison said...
Oh Cheryl. It used to drive me crazy when my mother would say sadly she was a failure as a mother (which inclined me, as a teenager, to yell back, "No, I'm just BAD," but I have been known to whimper the line myself. Okay. So they're all adult, and turned out reasonably. But I always meant to write down all the terrible things I did to them -- figured out it would save a deal of therapist time. Never got around to it.
See? I AM a failure as a mother!

- Cheryl Ann Smith said...
I think goof-ups are what make us interesting parents. Who wants to be perfect anyway? That would be too much pressure! We need to sometimes burn dinner or forget to wash jeans. If you set the parenting bar low when they're little, they won't be truly shocked when you mess up later!
- March 30, 2011 at 12:04 PM
- Eliza Knight said...
I am so glad you said what you did about the jeans in the hamper! I have 3 daughters, and when my oldest (10yr) informed me she had no jeans, I told her to grab some from the hamper. She was appalled. And so appalled, she told my friend who picked her up that afternoon, that I made her wear dirty clothes to school! I was mortified! The worst though is when I forgot, the same daughter had a half-day and went to costco instead of the bus stop... OOPS! I'm lucky to have nice neighbors, lol -- But I too am super busy! Can't keep anything straight... I live by my planner, and I tell everyone, if you don't write it in there, or I don't write it in there, it is not happening!
Congrats on your release! Sounds fascinating!
- March 30, 2011 at 1:00 PM
- Leslie Langtry said...
I believe perfect parents only exist for us to torment.
- March 30, 2011 at 1:13 PM
- Cheryl Ann Smith said...
Thanks Eliza!
I have a calendar. I'd forget everything without it!

- Genny said...
Definitely not the bad mother of the year award! But if you are going to talk about guilt, how about the guilt a step mother feels???? We are sort of caught between a rock and a hard place some of the time. :( None of us is perfect -How boring that would be :) But, back to the book, LOVE_LOVE- the cover can't wait for the book signing. I know it will do well!
- March 30, 2011 at 4:09 PM
- Cheryl Ann Smith said...
Thanks Genny! Come see me at the signing!

*LOL* Oh, I'm feeling it for the poor kid. It's so unfortunate sarcasm doesn't translate well to foreigners and anyone under the age of 9. I hope he loved Disney World. :)

Capitalism does not have to be the evil it is today. If I make, for example, a computer and I put a lot of effort into it and then I sell it for £600 then isn't it fair that I make a profit and that I make money? If the consumer decides that £600 is too much, then fair enough.
Now as soon as I start ripping off the people who make the microchips, paying them fook all etc - that's when capitalism turns bad.
But every human has a little bit of capitalism inside them - we want to make something using our skills.
Abusing others however is wrong but communism is simply not for humans.

The week in review
Most elite public university: UVA, which has the smallest percentage of low-income students– eight percent– of any state flagship school, according to a New York Times report.
Worst hacking: Radio station WINA's website, wina.com, is a blank screen May 31 with "Hacked by Zeek" at the top of the page.
Biggest war game: Here, for three days last week, the CIA simulated an electronic terrorist attack, according to the Associated Press.
Most confusing job recognition: Two National Ground Intelligence Center analysts, George Norris and Robert Campos, whose assessments about aluminum tubes in Iraq have been called a "gross failure" by the commission investigating faulty U.S. intelligence, have received awards for their overall annual performance the past three years, according to the Washington Post.
Worst home invasion: Three men tie up and rob a disabled man May 23 in his home on Cherry Avenue, stealing his Sony Playstation and all 14 of his video games, Reed Williams reports in the Daily Progress. Shawn Lamont Washington, 26, is arrested May 25 and charged with three felony counts of robbery and abduction. Antonio Lamar Carter, 18, and Freeman Allen Arnold, 24, are arrested May 26.
Most shocking headline: "Va. sex offenders got Viagra" in the Times-Dispatch details how Medicaid paid for erectile dysfunction drugs for 52 registered sex offenders in the state in 2004.
Most candidates: Thirteen candidates vie for three positions on the beleaguered Charlottesville School Board: incumbent Peggy Van Yahres joins Louis Bogard, Jean Chase, Alvin Edwards, John Gaines, Blair Hawkins, Kenneth Jackson, Sue Lewis, Brynda Loving-Kotter, Joseph Mooney, Chad Everette Thorne, David Randle and Karen Waters.
Latest court case for the Reverend Jerry Falwell: On May 26, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals hears arguments that Falwell's trademark is violated by the deliberately misspelled domain name fallwell.com, a site critical of Falwell's views on homosexuality.
Biggest public scandal: Department of Game and Inland Fisheries Director William F. Woodfin Jr. resigns May 24 after an audit revealed spending of as much as $13,000 in state funds for equipment for a trip to Africa that was paid for by a board member.
Biggest public overcharging: A Nelson Circuit Court judge rules that $3,000 is too much for documents Lee Albright requested under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act and says the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries can charge only $989, must pay Albright's lawyer, and can't blot out info on 103 of the pages Albright was given, according to the Times-Dispatch.
Best bear sighting: On 14th Street May 27, where a year- old black bear eludes police for more than an hour until a game warden shoots him with a blow dart and the drugged cub is captured on 13th Street.
Best déjà vu: A newsstand on the Downtown Mall. Newcomer and former Maxim and Playboy editor Steven Russell petitions City Council for permission to build a stand between Regal Cinema and the Downtown Grille, John Yellig reports in the Progress. (The boarded-up 1994 kiosk built as a newsstand may have a second act as an outpost of Atomic Burrito).
Best confession: Former FBI second-in-command W. Mark Felt, 91, claims he's "Deep Throat," the source who leaked information that brought down President Richard Nixon's administration, in a Vanity Fair article. Washington Post reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, who broke the story, and Benjamin C. Bradlee, who was the Post's executive editor at the time, later confirm that Felts was indeed Deep Throat.

St. Joseph's - 75, Farmingdale State - 70
Patchogue, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State men's basketball team lost their second Skyline Conference game of the season as they fell, 75-70, at St. Joseph's last night. The Rams now stand at 14-5 overall and 10-2 in the conference with both losses coming to St. Joe's.
Farmingdale State jumped out to an early 15-4 lead, before the Golden Eagles (16-2, 12-0) answered with an 11-2 run to cut the deficit to 17-15. Trailing 24-21 with 9:26 remaining in the half, junior forward AJ Matthews (Brooklyn, N.Y.) made back-to-back layups for the Rams to regain the lead 25-24. St. Joe's held a 36-33 advantage late in the half until a 3-pointer by junior guard Ryan Davis (Flushing, N.Y.) and a Dyshaun Flournoy (Brentwood, N.Y.) free-throw put Farmingdale State ahead 37-36 at the break. The Golden Eagles hit seven shots from behind the arc in the first half.
Tied 58-58 with 6:17 remaining, senior center Shahab Syed (Huntington, N.Y.) converted a layup and hit a 3-pointer to put St. Joe's on top 63-58. A 3-pointer from Flournoy and a layup by senior guard Joshua Smith (Deer Park, N.Y.), cut the deficit to three, 67-64, with 3:16 to play. After a missed 3 by the Golden Eagles, freshman forward Ibrahim Johnson (New York, N.Y.) made a layup after being setup by Smith to cut the St. Joe's lead to 67-66. The teams traded layups and a pair of free-throws before the Rams were forced to foul with 23 seconds remaining on the clock. St. Joe's Olivier Laurent (Amityville, N.Y.) hit both at the line and the Rams missed a game-tying 3-point attempt with 14 seconds to play as the Golden Eagles held on for the 75-70 victory.
The Rams were led by Smith who had a game-high 25 points to go along with eight rebounds. Matthews picked up double-double with 18 points and 20 boards while blocking seven shots for Farmingdale State.
Syed was 7-for-9 from the field for a team-high 17 points, while Laurent added 16 points and seven rebounds for the Golden Eagles.
The Rams next will host Mount Saint Vincent in a Skyline Conference game on Saturday, February 4th at 3:00 p.m.
