After graduating from USC Dornsife in 1977, Tom Nolan became . . . Tommy Trojan.
Not in a metaphorical sense.
"I rode as Tommy Trojan from 1977 to 1980, when I moved to Alaska, and again from 1988 to 1996 after I moved back to California," Nolan said of dressing as USC's beloved unofficial mascot at football games inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. "I rode in four Rose parades and Rose bowls, the Cotton Bowl and the Freedom Bowl. I rode Travelers II, III, and IV, and I helped as part of the Traveler Crew from 2006 to 2012."
Nolan is a fifth-generation Californian and had acquired plenty of experience for the role while growing up in Los Angeles. At 13, he began riding with a youth cavalry group called the California Rangers, and he exercised horses in Griffith Park every day after school. In 1972, he was named "Mr. California Ranger" during his last year of high school, and five years later was riding inside the Coliseum.

Earning his bachelor's degree in biology with a marine emphasis, Nolan in real life is a NASA Earth explorer. He has strong memories of the support he received from Bernard C. Abbott, then-professor of biological sciences and director of the Allen Hancock Foundation in what is now USC Dornsife.
"He saw my desire to succeed," Nolan said, "and he helped feed the desire."
Nolan said classes and tests were hard work, but Abbott was a steady supporter, even when Nolan once failed an entire course.
"You learned something, just not enough," Nolan remembers Abbott, who died in 2006, telling him. "Take the class again."
His persistence paid off. He ended up studying on Catalina Island 40 years ago during his first year as an undergraduate and attended an early version of what has become the Catalina Semester. In the mid-'90s, he was a staff member of the then-newly formed USC Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies, housed in what is now USC Dornsife, and worked with former director Tony Michaels, now adjunct professor of biology in USC Dornsife.
During Nolan's freshman year, and again in the summer of 1973 for a graduate-level course in plankton ecology, he studied at the USC facility on Catalina Island. His commitment also got him onto the USC vessel "Velero IV" for research trips during the summer.
"Every year, during my time as an undergrad, I was able to go out on a ship and ply the waters between California and Mexico. The USC oceanographers were doing the research. I was just one of the grunts onboard — and glad to be a grunt onboard," he said with a smile.
Nolan left USC in 1998 to take an education and outreach position with NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena. It was a career-defining move.
"USC launches careers," Nolan said. "I'm only one example."
When Nolan first started at JPL in 1998, he worked as an educator but later became an operations engineer. He was JPL's lead outreach coordinator for six missions flown by NASA's Earth Science Division, an operations engineer for JPL's Orbiting Carbon Observatory and Multi-Angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer, and the image processor for the Mars Exploration Rover, Opportunity.
"When I went to work in the morning, I was the first person on Earth to see the new pictures from Mars," Nolan said.
Nolan's career has taken him around the world and out to sea. He's talked about "oceanography from space" at numerous education and science conferences, including two international science education expeditions, one at the Melaka Planetarium in Malaysia and another in Casablanca, Morocco. He served as a marine mammal observer on Japanese salmon fishing vessels off the Aleutian Islands as part of a project by NOAA to monitor and protect Dall's porpoises. He also sailed as part of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Teacher at Sea Program aboard the NOAA research ship Ka'imimoana during a cruise to maintain an array of buoys in the central Pacific Ocean.
During his career at JPL, Nolan has continued to collaborate with the USC Wrigley Institute as a speaker and participant in the Family Science Program, the QuikSCience Challenge, the National Ocean Sciences Bowl and the Road Scholar outings on Catalina Island.
Nolan's position at JPL has recently added more outreach work, and today he's working as Earth Science Outreach Coordinator and Instrument Operations Engineer for a project called "Diviner." The Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment is an instrument flying aboard NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to measure surface temperatures on the moon and conduct 'multiaspect imaging' of its surface.
"It's mapping the moon for our next landing," Nolan said.
Nolan says USC Dornsife prepared him well for his career, from his beginnings as a dolphin trainer (his dream job when he was an undergraduate) to his current work as a "satellite jockey."
So far, Nolan said, "Life has been a wild ride."

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — The U.S. Border Patrol has shifted more than 100 agents from California and Arizona to the southernmost tip of Texas, its busiest sector for illegal immigration.
The agency announced Wednesday that the temporarily assigned agents had arrived to the Rio Grande Valley this week.
While arrests of immigrants entering the country illegally have stabilized or fallen at other parts of the Southwest border, they've soared in South Texas. Last year, the Border Patrol made more than 154,000 arrests in the sector, an increase of 58 percent from the previous year.
The sector has already made more than 95,000 arrests midway through this fiscal year and seized more than 300,000 pounds of marijuana. The agents from Arizona and California join those already sent from the neighboring Laredo sector.

Courtesy Story
By Spc. Debrah Ledesma
40th Public Affairs Detachment
KUWAIT— In 2005, there were 2,374 reports of sexual assault involving members of the military services. Of these, 169 occurred in Southwest Asia, according to the Department of Defenses Annual Report to Congress on sexual assault in the military.
"That's 169 assaults, blue force on blue force – that's military. That's fratricide," said Maj. Gen. Dennis Hardy, deputy commanding general of Third Army/U.S. Army Central, during a sexual assault awareness event held at the Zone 1 Chapel at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, April 6.
April is Sexual Assault Awareness month and the U.S. military takes the topic very seriously. Third Army is no exception.
The U.S. military promotes a "climate based on duty, honor and respect," said Hardy.
Hardy, like many Soldiers, wants the U.S. military to be "free from fear, free from attack or any other discrimination."
He went on to say that prevention involves awareness from military leaders of what their Soldiers need and what they do.
The leadership influences the tone, atmosphere and cadence of an organization through policy, training and enforcing standards," said Command Sgt. Maj. Willie Lemons, Third Army/U.S. Army Central equal opportunity command sergeant major.
"All commanders have an inherent command responsibility to ensure Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Marines serving under their purview can live and work in an environment that fosters a climate of human dignity and respect."
Training and education is exactly what Area Support Group-Kuwait had in mind for Camp Arifjan during April.
Displaying booths throughout the month, leaders hope to instill the importance of preventing sexual assault before there are victims to suffer the repercussions.
"Whenever a crime is committed there is always a victim, to include families, spouses, children and friends. All these individuals are left with the residual affects of sexual assault," said Lemons.
If victims know that they are safe when reporting a crime, they are more likely to file a complaint and more likely to receive help and a perpetrator is more likely to be taken out of the ranks of honorable servicemembers, making everyone safer.
"No one can solely protect themselves against sexual assault," said Lemons. "To impact the elimination of sexual assault, it takes the cooperative and concerted efforts of command emphasis, leader involvement and individual responsibility."

Is China Really No. 1 in Internet Users?
China's surge past the U.S. in number of online users was reported widely earlier this month. "Chinese race past Americans to top of world internet league," the Guardian reported. "China outclicks the US," China Daily headlined its article. (The Wall Street Journal and Sky News, both owned by News Corp., also covered the news.)
But in my print column this week, I point out that that numbers are far from certain. Finding Internet-usage numbers that are comparable between countries isn't easy. And even for the same country, there can be widely disparate numbers.
One hurdle to accurate numbers: Most of the counts are based on phone surveys, which generally miss people who use only cellphones. ComScore, an Internet-tracking firm, measures the number of Internet users in the U.S. by using a landline phone survey. But to count the number of people who visit specific Web sites, it recruits a panel of volunteers, and it finds them online. That means it can compare the Web behavior of panelists depending on which type of phone they use. And comScore found major differences in how people surf. For example, those comScore panelists who have only cellphones are twice as likely as the average panelist to visit game Web sites.
Another hurdle is the variable definition of what makes someone an Internet user. Nielsen Online measured the online population of the U.S. at about 220 million last month. But that includes nearly 60 million people who had access to the Internet but didn't use it during the month.
What do you think? What's an appropriate definition of an Internet user to be applied across all countries? Or does it make more sense for each country to define the term as it chooses? Is there a different measure countries should be using as a benchmark of Internet reach? Please let me know in the comments.
Further reading: A press release from BDA China announced the change at the top of the online-user leaderboard. The firm was relying in part on this Chinese government report. The International Telecommunication Union, a United Nations agency, also compares numbers between countries, but its latest figures date from 2006. The U.S. Census Bureau is further behind: Its last published survey of Americans' computer use was conducted in 2003. (Partial results from a more-recent survey are here.) The Pew Internet & American Life Project surveys Americans about their Internet usage more regularly, finding last fall that 68% of American adults had used the Internet the day before the poll, and 5% didn't but do at least occasionally. I wrote last year about controversy over how best to compare countries' high-speed Internet capabilities.

Pretty Little Liars
Who Is Bethany Young on Pretty Little Liars? Here Are Three Theories
On the Pretty Little Liars 100th episode, Season 5, Episode 5 ("Miss Me x 100"), we got an answer to a major question: Who was in Alison's (Sasha Pieterse) grave. Unfortunately, right now, the answer doesn't mean much to us. It's a girl named Bethany Young. But who is she?
This important info was announced at a press conference on the news, and all the cops said was that Bethany was a 17-year-old patient at Radley who'd escaped and been presumed missing. But this is Pretty Little Liars — we have a hard time believing the answer is really so random. Bethany must be connected to someone we already know about, right?
For now we don't have a lot to go on, and we haven't had a lot of time to digest this news. But here are three theories about how Bethany might tie into the larger picture.
She's Sydney's twin. We know something's up with new girl Sydney, since she's apparently working with Mona and Jenna. Why? Well, we also know someone has a twin sister. If Sydney had a twin who'd gone missing around the time Ali was supposedly buried in that grave, it might explain her sudden appearance in Rosewood and clear interest in Ali. Perhaps she suspected her sis was the one who had really died. Or maybe she blames her sister's death on Alison, and that would explain why she's working with the Ali Hater Club. If so, she could become a major player, fast.
She's Jason's twin. Again, we know someone had a twin sister. We also know someone attacked Ali that night, and Mrs. D was willing to cover it up. That has made a lot of people think Jason was the one who attacked Ali, because why would Mrs. D cover for someone other than her own child? But what if it was her own child, but not Jason. Could "Bethany Young" be a name Mrs. D made up for a mentally disturbed twin of Jason? Crazier things have happened...
She's the one who killed Toby's mom. Bethany was at Radley. There's also a major mystery surrounding Radley: who killed Toby's mom. Could the two things be related? Is it possible Bethany was the one who pushed Marion out of that window?
Who do you think Bethany Young is? Share your theories in the comments below!
Catch the next episode of Pretty Little Liars on July 15, 2014 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

A bill before Congress known as the Free Flow of Information Act (S 2035, HR 2102) would give journalists limited protection from being compelled to reveal confidential sources. All 50 states have some form of shield law, but no similar protection exists at the federal level. A coalition of some 50 news media organizations and companies have called for passage of the legislation.
The bill, introduced in the Senate by Arlen Specter (R-PA) and in the House by Rick Boucher (D-VA), has passed the House and cleared the Senate Judiciary Committee, but is being blocked on the Senate floor by Jon Kyl (R-AZ).
"The legislation gives an overly broad definition of journalists that 'can include those linked to terrorists and criminals,' wrote Mukasey and National Intelligence Director Mike McConnell," the AP reported.
The Newspaper Association of America, which facilitated the media coalition letter, called the legislation "vitally important to the national interest and an informed citizenry."

Hi there,
I updated 5.0.22 -> 5.0.23 and since then anti-spam doesn't work at all.
During upgrade Zimbra lost info on all ports and SPAM and HAM default emails. Since I couldn't recall name of original spam training accounts I created new. Now I have two spam and ham training accounts and somehow I feel that's not good.
Any ideas?

Schwarzenegger's Commando Gets A David Ayer Remake
By Josh Tyler 2010-04-29 00:42:28 comments
Rebooting Scharwzenegger movies seems to be the next, big thing. Terminator was prequeled without Arnold. Robert Rodriguez has resurrected Predator without him and added an s to it. Now Fox is planning a remake of Commando, according to Deadline.
The original 1985 movie starred Arnold as a retired solider, now single parent, who finds himself forced back into action when bad guys kidnap his daughter. The films noteworthy because future uber-hottie Alyssa Milano played the daughter and also because its the first Arnold movie to incorporate humor along with the action, in a way that eventually became his trademark until he took it too far and ended up in Kindergarten Cop. Whoops.
Much like Kindergarten Cop, Commando is far from one of Arnolds best movies. Ive always said if youre going to remake something, remake something horrible and see if you can improve on it. Why redo something thats already done right? This seems like perfect material on which to test that theory and David Ayer will be the man testing it. Hes been hired to write and direct the redo.
Ayer most recently directed the pretty awful 2008 Keanu Reeves movie Street Kings. His recent writing and directing resume is littered with action movies, most of them bad. Earlier in his career, though, he seemed to have something as a writer. Hes responsible for the generally solid scripts used on Training Day and U-571. Also working in his favor here is Ayers background as a Navy Seal which could allow him to bring reality to an otherwise played out and ridiculous premise.
Of course the only Commando question that really matters is who will replace Arnold? Im sure at some point theyll talk to Sam Worthington, and a year ago he might have been a realistic possibility. Now, after Avatar and Clash of the Titans, hes probably too big a star to do it. Maybe somebody can talk The Rock into returning to action movies, assuming hes not too busy babysitting his neighbors kids.

Trophy Wine - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
There is a delivery in an armored car. They are delivering wine to Bing Cullman. He is the wine importer. He talks to his wife and gives her a present to open after she has her photo shoot. That night, they have a small get together where they have some wine tasting.
While at the photo shoot, Shane was not happy about the fact that Avery (Bing's wife) was gone for an hour. She asks him for a ride home. Bing doesn't feel well and he goes down into his wine cellar. He feels even more ill. The cellar door is slammed and locked. He wants to get out and he starts to panic and also makes as much noise as he could.
Eames and Goren get called to the crime scene. Bing was found by his butler. He's dead. Major case has been called by the mayor to get them to do the work, because they have a personal and working relationship together. Eames notices that the safe is open. It is also empty. Goren notes the scratches on the victim's hand which show that he did try to get out by banging on the cellar door.
When they ask Avery, his wife, what she had been doing last night she told them that she was home at around 11 and went straight to bed. She just thought that Bing was in the cellar and it was nothing new. Then she says that the butler found his body. His butler's name is Loy. She tells them that Bing had some health problems, but that was the average for a man his age. They want a list of meds. She also tells them that while their marriage wasn't picture perfect, they really did have a nice marriage. She felt that it was better than most marriages.
The next person that they speak to is Loy. He tells them about the wine tasting. He tells them that there was wine that was delivered by armored car. It was super rare. He also tells them that there were a few guests that were there for the tasting. One was Ev Dilahunt. Apparently, that's who Bing sells his wine through.
The detectives go to speak to people of interest. They go to the auction house to talk to Dilahunt. It turns out that these bottles of wine were extremely rare as they were made by George Washington. There were only three bottles, even though it was said by the butler that there were six. There were even Washington's initials engraved on the three bottles that were delivered. He says that he gave the wine the best score and then went on to buy the other two for 350,000 in euros. He could only say that Miss Balon was there, but the rest of the people in attendance must be kept secret.
The detectives go back to the office, where they go over what information they have acquired. They discuss it with Captain Hannah. They say that he had the blood alcohol level of 1.9. They also found out that he had the medications that he normally takes in his system. However, they had found that there were traces of Viagra on his wine glass. Viagra and nitrates are known to induce a heart attack. They are beginning to believe that he may have been poisoned and left in the wine cellar to die.
They looked into the background of Avery. They found that she has absolutely no record, but there is a hit on her mother. Her mother who lives in Nebraska has quite the record. Her criminal record shows that she was in jail for both prostitution and drugs. It turns out that Avery is the vice president of a company called Wellman Media.
The detectives go to speak to a man named Mason Kent. They question him about that night and the tasting. He says that he intends on bidding on the wine at the auction. Goren is curious to see the wine cellar that he has, but he is denied. He wants to "limit the vibration" in the basement. The detectives go on their way, but Eames thinks that Kent is hiding something. Goren thinks the dude is just being cocky.
Goren meets up with Dr. Paula Gyson. Goren says that he really trusts Eames a lot. The doctor asks him about their relationship. She wonders about whether or not he has seriously romantic feelings for her. He tells the doctor that it is more like a sibling bond. He also finds it offensive that the doctor thinks he can't just have a good friendship with his partner. She questions him about his dating habits. He hasn't dated in more than a few years at this point. He has dealt with so much drama and his job doesn't really allow for much of a relationship.
Eames is at Avery's and she brings up the fact that Dilahunt gave her husband quite a bit of money for the wine, but now there is nothing. The safe was empty. She tells Eames that the butler was the only one that was allowed down in the cellar. She also tells her where she can find him as he is taking a few days off.
The police grab Loy and bring him in. He is being interrogated about the money. Loy says he found Bing dead and he took all of the money. He says that his mother is very sick and thinks that the money would really help her to get better. He is in shock over the death of Bing. He also says that he thought Bing was fine when he left the house.
He heard a bit of an argument between Bing and Dilahunt. Bing wasn't happy that Hutton wasn't there. He said that if he goes down, they all go down. Apparently, Hutton was at all of the tastings but didn't show up to the the one they just had.
The detectives go to talk to Hutton. He says that he couldn't go, because he wasn't feeling well and he couldn't really smell. He also says that he is suspicious that Bing was actually trying to sell counterfeit wine. He didn't want his name to be a part of that. They do end up finding out that the wines were not real.
The detectives decide to question both Dilahunt and Mays at the same time. Eames tells them that Dilahunt has been buying many lots of wine from a man named Arnold Binder. Arnold Binder is Bing Cullman. They would give the real wine at tastings, but sell the fake wine. Dilahunt says that they did argue, but there is no way that he killed him. He tells them that Bing was still alive when he went home and that he saw Avery with a "handsome young man" when he left.
Later on, Eames and Goren go and talk to Avery. She tells them that Shane is actually one of her models. He gave her a ride home, because she was slightly intoxicated and didn't want to drive drunk. She also says that there were SIX bottles of wine. One was opened so that people could try it. There are three other bottles unaccounted for.
Avery drives to Shane's apartment. She tells him that Bing is dead. Now they can be together. They embrace and kiss. They then go to talk to Kent with a warrant, even. They can now go check the cellar. When they go in, they find the missing three bottles. That is when he decides to tell them that he got Bing to give him three of the bottles on the side so that they could cut the middleman out.
Kent has a file with him. He gives it to them. He tells them that Bing was the "Bernie Madoff" of their world. He had someone watching Bing's every move. There was even a picture of what he says was where he would bring women back to sleep with that he "sublets from Arnold Binder". They go to the apartment and there is a huge picture of Bing and Avery's wedding. Underneath the picture, it says "Dumbest day of my life". It also turns out that he has been using an escort service and hanging out with an escort named Emily.
Emily was under the impression that they were in an open marriage. She also told the detectives that they were very careful to not mix nitrates and viagra when they were together. It turns out that Avery has a different story to tell now. She says that she did it and that she is happy that he is dead.
Goren has reason to believe that she is actually lying. There were no nitrates in the glass of wine. They noticed that she was also renting another apartment for the past sixty days. They go to the apartment and find both Shane and Emily there. They also find Bing's viagra. The detectives think that they were setting it up so they could end up with Avery's money. She says that Bing knew about Shane. She also says that Bing was in the process of leaving Avery.
The detectives go back to talk to Hannah. He thinks that they really don't have anything. They talk to Shane as Avery listens in. He says that he was hired by Bing to give her the attention that she wasn't getting at home. The marriage was basically a lie. He didn't want to sleep with her, but told Bing that he did so he could get a large bonus. He says she's old and weird. He also says that they were close to having sex, but she wigged out and left before it got to that.
Goren asks Avery about the pre nup. Pre nups typically run out after ten years. That is when it goes 50/50. There was also a fidelity clause, but not for both of them. Just for her. Goren goes through her handbag. There are keys to Bing's secret apartment. They think she may have seen the divorce papers in the apartment, because there was talk of her affair in them. Shane did lie about sleeping with her. It turns out that she DID kill Bing.

If I recommended cooking a meatloaf on a grill, you might ask me to "let you sleep on it" or you might run away like a "bat out of hell", right?
I thought it sounded weird too when I first heard of doing it that way, but I tried it two years ago and it is my favorite way to prepare meatloaf now. You just prepare your favorite meatloaf recipe and instead of cooking it in your oven, turn your grill into a fire roasted oven by cooking with indirect heat (fire or burner on one side, food on other side, lid closed).
"I Would Do Anything For Loaf" Meatloaf recipe
adapted from Underground Deli's Meatloaf Sandwich
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1 1/2 teaspoons Dry mustard
1 teaspoon Black pepper
1 teaspoons Garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic minced
2 tablespoon basil, fresh chopped
1 tablespoon Dried oregano
3 Eggs
3/4 cup Ketchup
1/2 teaspoon Hot pepper sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons Horseradish
1 cup Onion; chopped
2 1/2 pounds Ground beef; 80/20 mix
In a bowl, combine bread crumbs, mustard, black pepper, garlic powder, basil and oregano. In a large bowl, combine eggs, ketchup, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard and horseradish. Mix in the onion and ground beef, then add the bread crumb mixture.
TIP: One reason people don't like meat loaf is because they've been served one that is greasy because it cooks in it's own grease in the loaf pan. Only use the loaf pan for a mold to shape the loaf and let it chill for an hour in the fridge.
Then when ready to cook, invert the loaf pan onto a raised drip pan set up like this and all the grease will drip away from the loaf while cooking in the oven or the grill.
Cook the loaf at 350f.
After 45 minutes, brush with a glaze of your choice.
-Typical meatloaf glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 oz apple cider vinegar
-Sweet glaze: commercial BBQ sauce like Blues Hog.
-Spicy glaze: 1/2 cup ketchup, 1/4 cup Chok On Dis Blaze n' Glaze, 1/4 cup brown sugar
Cook until the loaf hits an internal temp of 160f. This should be a total cooking time of 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Try that inverted meatloaf technique the next time and I think you'll like your standard meatloaf a little bit better. The final product is just moist enough but not greasy at all. PERFECT for meatloaf sandwiches, my favorite.
And consider cooking it on the grill too. Since I started cooking it on the grill, anytime I think about cooking one in the oven, I think, "I would do anything for loaf, but I won't do that!"

Snag Stand
Cnr Latrobe and Swanston Street
Melbourne VIC 3000
+61 3 9639 6544
It seems that Sydneysiders have a thing for turning simple, no-frills street food into fancy, high-end versions of themselves. Just like Heidi Middleton and Sarah-Jane Clarke have done to a humble pair of black leggings (slap on some PVC and a price tag of $200 a pop, and watch everyone go wild), others in Sydney have done the same thing to food including burgers (Neil Perry, Rockpool), rice paper rolls (Nahji Chu, Miss Chu) and the classic meat pie (Wayne Homschek, Pie Face). Then there's the whole taco reinvention thing, but let's not get into that today. Of course, something as modest as the hot dog ain't exempt from this sort of treatment – and with that, I present you Snag Stand.
Established in Sydney by American-born Phillip Blanco, Snag Stand arrived in Melbourne earlier this year and has proven to be a hit among those fed up with crappy $5 hot dogs at the 'G and those who'd just missed out on snagging (tee-hee! Pun!) the last bratwurst roll at Queen Vic Market. Its central location makes it an ideal place for a quick bite before the train ride home and for lucky RMIT students looking for non-cafeteria options for lunch.
According to Blanco, Snag Stand differentiates itself from other hot dog providers because of the high quality ingredients used. Here, the sausages are hand-crafted, rather than bought in bulk from Coles; their casings natural, rather than synthetic and no artificial colours or flavours are used. The sausages come from all sorts of trusted suppliers around the country, with the Melbourne branch receiving most of their snags from Jonathan's Butchery in Collingwood. Thus, one can reasonably expect that, for $6-10, their 'haute' dog will be one of designer quality.
The first time I went, I had the American classic ($6.90). The frankfurter was wood-smoked, presumably to give it a bit of dimension, and the bun, a toasted brioche. In between, the standard yellow mustard, tomato sauce, onions and sweet green pickle relish made appearances. The result was, well, something that tasted a little bit fancier than your $2.49 hotdog from Costco, except that you didn't get free softdrink refills at Snag Stand. As an aside, Marty did make a comment on how the green sauce looked a lot like a caterpillar – heh!
On my second visit, I decided to go ooh-la-la-super-fancy by ordering the Toulouse, which was just shy of $10. It seems that the toasted brioche roll is the default bread option here because it made an appearance yet again, this time with sautéed onions, rosemary, mushrooms and truffle aioli along with a Bangalow pork sausage. Although I liked the sausage, which had a lovely rustic taste, I did feel that the truffle aioli overpowered what would have been a deliciously rustic and earthy-tasting hot dog with attitude (even if there was barely anything French about it – except for the brioche and err, I guess the 'truffles').
The chips here aren't bad, either. For $3.90, I got a small tub of crunchy, roughly cut chips, which were made out of Tasmanian russet potatoes. Yarms. I also got some fresh herb aioli to go with it ($1 per tub). In hindsight, I should have chosen a tub of curry ketchup or chipotle mayo simply because I was already getting a healthy dose of aioli on my Toulouse hot dog but that's not to say that the herb aioli was bad.
In short, Snag Stand is definitely a breathe of fresh air and one of the few 'haute street food' franchises from Sydney that I am actually pleased to see (now, if only Pie Face would just eff off, kindly). Sure, nothing will ever beat a classic bratwurst from Queen Vic Market but this comes pretty close. While I'm in no real rush to order the over-powering Toulouse snag, I will definitely order the American classic again. That is, after I've tried some of the other enticing options on the rotating menu such as the Greek (using a lamb, rosemary and oregano sausage, of course) and the currywurst.
On that note, I'm off to Sydney tomorrow for the weekend. While I'm not looking to encounter any designer satay cafes nor am I keen to eat a single pie, I'm definitely looking forward to finally trying the famed snow egg dessert at Quay and eating my way through a leisurely lunchtime degustation at Sepia.

Different hot dogs are paired with different buns. But the brioche ones are the best!! 😀Reply
I've been wanting to go here actually – bummer to hear they're not amazing, but then again, I'd be annoyed if they beat Queen Vic too. I will, of course, still try it sometimeReply
Hrmm, they do a decent sausage there, but then I reckon it's a bit toffed up and the bread's just too much… You should give the Riverland bar on Flinder's a go as well; they've got a bbq set up with proper snags, and for cheap.Reply
OHHHH You're going to Sydney too? I'm going next week but not even for the weekend sigh only for a day i can't wait though hehe i totally agree with you though Pie Face really needs to GETTA here! Ther'es so many of them around….but NONE and i mean NONE of them are good!!!! I don't get why they're still around!
My boyfriend is going to kill me lol I've told him about Snag Stand and showed him so many wonderful reviews about it but I still haven't taken him lol he LOVES hot dogs and like what you said he's sick of the crappy ones lol
Might go tonight…or tomorrow 😛
Have an amazing time in Sydney!!!Reply
Now I'm craving a snag…mm.
Oh, and enjoy Quay. I got to go there last year 😀 http://edibleposts.wordpress.com/2011/12/28/quay-nsw/
The snow egg was amazing, although I liked the 8 layer cake more. The chocolate-y goodness is almost overwhelming.Reply
Passed by sooooo many times but yet to try… this may be the motivation I need to give them a go :). Have fun in Sydney! Bourke St Bakery is a must!!!!Reply
I've been curious about Snag Stand for a while.. I never seen a photo till now and I'm impressed!
Yes, Pie Face should go away. First time I had Pie Face I was drunk and it was the best pie ever. Came back when sober and it tasted like crap and the pastry was floppy and I burnt myself. Wah.
My fav pies are from Coles Central on Elizabeth St, and at Cafe Malitude on Exhibition St. Home made!!
Have a fun and safe trip to Sydney!Reply
Man I have still yet to try this place.. NEED TO FIND A JOB NEARER TO GOOD FOOD!Reply
I've only been once and well, I thought it was a bit expensive for what I got but it did taste fantastic. I got the Wagyu beef which came with mash and gravy. Love my mash with gravy in a bun. 😀 Hope you had a good trip in Sydney!Reply
I've tried the Toulouse before, while the fancy name and description might sound super mouthwatering, I gotta agree that it is a bit too heavy on the truffle (but I finished mine anyway. lol)
The prices are also on the more expensive side, but I look at it as a treat so I wouldn't mind at all
And I loveeee their chips. I'm a sucker for chips with chunky salt flakes. nomnom.
Since you've mentioned brioche…
I wonder where can I get a loaf of brioche here in Melbourne..
Cheers !Reply
I could sure go for one right now… haven't been in a couple of months hehReply

I wish there was a way to get rid of her
Pretty awesome letter by this Marine.
Can't you Kalifornia hands get rid of feinstein?
I wish there was a way to get rid of her
there are ways......................oops, did I say that out loud
I thought Joshua Boston's letter told volumes. His interview tells a lot as well. The push to remove the 2nd amendment is real. It was not written only for hunters or sport shooters but for, "We the People". Trying to write a bill stating it is not meant to affect hunters or sport shooters misses the mark of the intent of that "Bill of Rights". Those amendments are just as relevant today if not more so than they were when they were originally written. They are for "We the People" and not only for the politicians or trained military to bear arms.

Movie Review | 'Punks'
Sympathetically Portraying Black and Gay Men
By A. O. SCOTT
Published: November 2, 2001
Patrik-Ian Polk's "Punks" opens with the voices of its main characters — four black and Latino gay men living in West Hollywood — rating the sex appeal of various African- American celebrities, from Puff Daddy (who is decidedly not their type) to LL Cool J (who emphatically is). Their candid, sexy talk sets the tone for the rest of the film, which is admirable for its candor, its good humor and its bravery.
The four friends are a slightly contrived cross-section of urban gay life. Hill (Dwight Ewell) is pouty and, once he moves out on his straying French lover, proudly promiscuous. Chris (Jazzmun), a k a Miss Crystal, is a drag performer who never breaks out of high-diva mode. Dante (Renoly Santiago) is a gushy, girly club kid who is the group's designated little brother. Marcus (Seth Gilliam), whose romantic crisis is at the center of the movie, is shy and sensitive, dreaming of love but afraid to risk searching for it. He works as a fashion photographer, and even the advances of a muscular male supermodel fail to tempt him. He likes to keep his distance, secretly photographing men he finds attractive, including a hunky new neighbor named Darby (Rockmond Dunbar) who has just moved to L.A. from New York.
The tender, sexually charged friendship that develops between Marcus and Darby, who appears to be straight, provides "Punks" with its best and most surprising moments. Mr. Gilliam and Mr. Dunbar convey the erotic subtext of their characters' relationship without overemphasizing it. Their acting has a relaxed, intuitive rhythm that cuts through the carnival of mannerisms that sometimes surrounds them. Mr. Polk, who wrote and directed, presents his characters' lives with such matter-of-fact affection that you almost forget how rarely the lives of gay black men have been presented sympathetically on screen.
In its opening credits, "Punks" proudly announces itself as "Patrik- Ian Polk's first film," and it does have the clumsiness and rough edges of an overreaching debut effort. The various subplots involving Hill's breakup and Miss Crystal's career are not very smoothly integrated, and Dante seems to drop out of the film for much of its second half. The editing is patchy and the writing at times offers up warmed-over RuPaulisms as the dernier cri of fabulousness.
But the movie's warmth, and Mr. Gilliam's sober, likable performance sustain it through its ragged stretches and amateurish lapses.
"Punks" is rated R (Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian). It has many sexual references and situations, and plenty of appropriately outrageous language.

Victoria and her husband, Paul Ingram, have been coming to Kinston to sell watermelons every summer for the last seven years. The Ingrams sell an average of 40 watermelons a day, which go for about $5 to $7 each, depending on the size.

"Mifune," a Different Sort of Dogme, with Soren Kragh-Jacobsen
by Anthony Kaufman
(indieWIRE/2.29.2000) -"Mifune," the third Dogme95 film is a much quieter affair than its more audacious predecessors, Thomas Vinterberg's "Celebration" and Lars Von Trier's "The Idiots." "Mifune" breaks the mold of what we've come to expect from the movement, shooting on film, rather than digital video, and in a mode more akin to romantic comedy than psychological penetration. Still, director Soren Kragh-Jacobsen adhered to the infamous ten rules known as the Vow of Chastity; his only major transgressions: chasing some chickens onto their location, borrowing a hydraulic platform for an overhead shot, and moving some furniture.
The film, which opened in New York and Los Angeles last Friday, follows a yuppie newlywed (Anders W. Berthelsen) who must leave his wife behind to handle the affairs of his recently deceased father and retarded brother Rud (Jesper Asholt) in their rural farmhouse. When a high-class prostitute (Iben Hjejle, next appearing in Stephen Frear's "High Fidelity") leaves her dark past to fill in the role of housekeeper, the odd trio lives together in by turns hapless and symbiotic harmony. Sony Pictures Classics acquired the film shortly after winning the Silver Bear and Special Jury Prize at Berlin '99. indieWIRE's Anthony Kaufman recently spoke with Kragh-Jacobsen, the 52-year-old veteran director with some eight films to his name (including last year's Emmy-award winning drama "The Island on Bird Street"), about the rules of Dogme, making movies swing like music, and Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune.
(For Dogme95 nuts, keep on the look out for numerous upcoming projects, Kristian Levring's English-language Dogme 4 project, "The King Is Alive" which sold to several territories in the American Film Market last week, Jean Marc Barr's French entry, "Lovers," and "D-dag," the Danish Dogme brotherhood's millennium experiment: the four founding members (Trier, Vinterberg, Kragh-Jacobsen, and Levring) each remotely tracked four different characters live through the streets of Copenhagen on last New Year's Eve, each segment airing on a separate television station

As Inside Man opens, a man stares into the camera in a too-small room. He speaks in clear, clipped tones. "My name is Dalton Russell. Pay strict attention to what I say because I choose my words carefully and I never repeat myself." And bang – as Clive Owen looks out from the screen, director Spike Lee sets the hook for one of the most satisfying pieces of grown-up entertainment big Hollywood's given us in a long time. Both Lee and his anti-hero spend the next 128 minutes playing us, and by the time they're done, we're glad they did.
Four painters show up at a bank in Manhattan's financial district. The bank doesn't really look like it needs painting, but that's okay; they're actually there to rob the place. They take out the surveillance cameras, round up the staff and customers and get everything under tight control in an eye blink. Then they tell the cops what they've done … and then they're in no hurry at all. NYPD Detective Keith Frazier (Denzel Washington) catches the case – and Frazier needs to put a win up on the board, since $140,000 in cash went missing from one of his busts recently and Internal Affairs is sniffing around. Frazier and his partner Mitchell (Chiwitel Ejiofor) head over to the scene, Frazier takes command of the police presence from Capt. Darius (Willem Dafoe) ... and soon comes to realize that the mystery men inside the bank are really calling all the shots.
When the bank's president (Christopher Plummer) is told of the robbery - and which branch specifically is being taken down - calls are made to Madeline White (Jodie Foster), a high-powered fixer armored in a perfectly tailored cream ensemble and a demeanor that's as cold, slick and hard as a frozen lake. Plummer doesn't want her to stop the robbery; that's in the NYPD's hands. What he wants is to make sure that one very specific item in the bank never, ever leaves it. … Trouble inside the bank, trouble outside the bank: Frazier's having a bad day. What's making it worse is the ever-growing realization that these bank robbers have a very different plan than what the NYPD usually deals with … and that the robbers know the NYPD's usual plan inside and out. Inside Man isn't just a great heist film – and, let's get that straight from the jump, it's a great heist film – Inside Man is also a terrific New York movie, a loud and proud celebration of the city where 'Screw you!' is just another way of saying 'Hello.' As Frazier interviews the cop on the scene who called the robbery in – after one of the robbers poked a .357 in his face and told him they were robbing the bank – the flatfoot explains it's the second time he's ever had a gun shoved in his face; the first was a 12-year-old kid. Frazier's curious about that story: "What was that like?" The cop's got Noo Yawk nonchalance in spades: "Not one of my better days. …"
And the whole film's like that: When Frazier talks to the head robber and realizes that he's running a very different plan from bank robbing business-as-usual, he's quotably profane: "Last time I had my Johnson pulled that good, it cost me five bucks." (Dafoe's comeback is killer, too.) One hostage, in his post-heist interview, is asked about being held at gunpoint: "Were you scared?" "No, man – I'm from Brooklyn." A lot of critics are invoking Dog Day Afternoon when talking about Inside Man – no coincidence, since the script itself mentions Dog Day not once but twice – but the movie it's really following in the footsteps of is the 1974 Manhattan crime classic The Taking of Pelham One Two Three. Pelham was the subway-hijack flick that gave us Robert Shaw as a mastermind criminal and Walter Matthau as the dogged transit cop who has to stop him. Owen and Washington follow the Pelham playbook to a certain degree – Owen's cool, clipped British attitude versus Washington's blunt, brusque, dese-dem-dose New Yorkishness – and Foster's Satan-in-Armani Ms. Fixit adds a nice third element to the mix.
Inside Man's script is credited to Russel Gewirtz; it's his first script, and it's pretty tightly wound. There's a great mix of real hints and red herrings in every scene of the film – especially as we flash-forward from the day of the heist to a series of interviews with the bank's staff and customers after the fact, and learn that the hostages got out, but the case isn't closed. The heist itself is refreshingly crafted, as well – low-tech and high-tension, obscure as it happens and obvious in retrospect. There's no boring computer hacking here, no video-display screens showing e-money being shifted around – just cunning and digging and plotting and trickery, professionals at work making money the old fashioned way: Stealing it.
But even more than the stars or Gewirtz, it's Lee who makes this film. There are a few moments in Inside Man that feel a little slack – especially a conversation between Owen and a child hostage about bank robbing and violent media, and the final scene. There's also one huge plot hole involving police surveillance and the presence of the media – If you've bugged the bank, why play the transmission over loudspeakers within earshot of news crews? - but other than that, the script holds up, and the reason it holds up is Lee. Lee's dramas have always had a muscular kind of push to them, and it's fascinating to see him put everything he knows about cutting, shaping and driving a scene into the service of a 'simple' thriller. There's a political and moral undercurrent in Inside Man, but it heightens the tension of the film far more than it deepens the meaning of it.
Only four African-American directors have had films earn more than $100 million at the domestic box office – John Singleton, Tim Story, F. Gary Gray and Clark Johnson. With Inside Man, it's a safe bet that Lee will join that group. (I can't imagine Inside Man not being a box office hit, but as Mencken says, no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people.) And more to the point, he deserves to – Inside Man is a near-perfect piece of entertainment, where every scene pops on its own and also works as part of a complete whole. (Seriously, watch Inside Man carefully: The film's climax is spelled out in the first five minutes, if you know where to look.) I could talk at great length about the movie's pleasures – the smarts of it, the swagger it gets from three top actors giving their all to parts they could have played in their sleep, an ace supporting cast of well-known names and well-worn faces, the clockwork intricacy of the plot that never becomes overly elaborate – but in the New York spirit of the movie itself, I'll get right to the point: Go. Get the big drink. Get the popcorn. Settle back into the plushest seat you can find. Because when a piece of big-screen entertainment as good as Inside Man comes along, you should savor it.

Denver area's best and worst contractors of 2008
— by Liz Vernon
In addition to our nationwide list, here are the Denver contractors who have earned the distinction of being best or worst in the Denver area.
The Best
Doctor Computer
Years ago, Mitch Sieniawski won a computer in a department store sales contest. The machine ended up in the closet. "I was cleaning and found it," he says. "I set it up and began working."
Sieniawski later started Doctor Computer, doing repairs and selling PCs. In his spare time, he also teaches nursing home residents computer skills.
"He's very patient," Lakewood customer Carol Farina says. "[My job] wasn't a piece of cake, but he didn't leave until it was done."
Sieniawski, an "A"-rated contractor whose dedication to animals shows through the "Dogs of Denver" section of his website, says good customer service is paramount. "If I can't fix it, I don't charge," he says. "I treat people like I want to be treated."
Pappas Painting & Repair
Frank Pappas got an early start in his career, painting addresses on curbs. He now operates Pappas Painting & Repair.
Karen McDonald of Denver is one of Pappas' many happy customers. "Frank's commitment to customer satisfaction was clear from the minute we met," McDonald says. One member reports that when her dog escaped, Pappas searched the neighborhood. Another member says Pappas took the time to talk to her kids. He also donates work to local charities and schools.
Pappas credits much of the company's success to project manager Vince Corland. "He's a very personable guy. Everybody loves him."
The Worst
Mile Hi Services
Angie's List member Cynde Wehmer had hired Mile Hi Services in the past, mainly for lawn aeration, so when she needed her carpet cleaned in December 2007, she contacted the home maintenance company.
"It was an absolute waste," Wehmer says. "It was worse than if I just hadn't had anything done." The company returned to try again. "It seemed like they were rubbing [the stain] in as opposed to trying to pull it out," she says.
Another Denver member, Cathy Hanisits, says she hired the company in 2008 to aerate her yard. "They advertise huge plugs, but the only plugs I saw were these teeny things. I think they ran down the middle of the yard and left."
At least a dozen Angie's List members have rated the company with a "C" or below since 2005, and it has an unsatisfactory Better Business Bureau rating. According to the BBB — which lists 15 alternative names for the company — 434 consumers have filed complaints. It failed to respond to 375 of them, and six remain unresolved. Mile Hi didn't return messages seeking comment.
Big Sky Sunrooms
Angie's List member William Carlton paid Big Sky Sunrooms $20,000 to build a patio that he says remains unfinished nearly three years later. "They've gotten three different permits, but haven't done [any work]," he says.
Carlton, who gave the company an "F" on Angie's List in July, isn't the only upset customer. Big Sky also has a "D+" rating with the BBB, which revoked its accreditation due to unresolved complaints.
Nate Strauch, attorney general communications director, says his office is investigating two complaints against Big Sky and owner Kevin Amsberry but declined to give further details. Court records show a couple of successful civil cases brought against Amsberry for unfinished work.
"It's not the case now, but in the past, we were selling more sunrooms than we could build," Amsberry says. "We actually contacted another sunroom dealer [to do the work], and they messed up eight jobs. Damages are about a quarter-million dollars, and I've already retained an attorney to proceed with litigation [against the other dealer]."

RightWingWatch:Fischer: No First Amendment Rights for Muslims
Chief spokesman American Family Association Bryan Fischer says that Muslims have no First Amendment Rights! Has he read the constitution!
The First Amendment (Amendment I) to the United States Constitution is part of the Bill of Rights. The amendment prohibits the making of any law "respecting an establishment of religion", impeding the free exercise of religion, infringing on the freedom of speech, infringing on the freedom of the press, interfering with the right to peaceably assemble or prohibiting the petitioning for a governmental redress of grievances."
Then there's Franklin Graham who says the The Muslim Brotherhood had infiltrated the White House!

How to Use Pronouns
Most of us try to use proper grammar, but there are a few common blunders many people make. In fact, glaring pronoun errors are common in professionally-written text for television commercials, teleprompter speeches and well-rehearsed lines spoken by Academy Award-winning movie stars. Using a few simple tricks will help you remember how to use pronouns correctly.
Here's how to keep your writing and speech on track, rather than making silly pronoun mistakes.
1Before speaking aloud, test your new sentence silently to yourself: "Gary gave Barbara, Luke and I a new DVD."
2Cut out all names and other nouns, leaving only pronouns:"He gave (to) I it." ("He gave it to I.").
3How does it sound? –Wrong!
4Pick your common sense choice, then reinsert all the words you removed to check the sentence: "Gary gave Barbara, Luke and me a new DVD."
5Say it aloud or write it with confidence that your grammar is correct.
6Know the rules. The subject pronouns "I," "he," "she," "we," and "they" perform verbs. For example: "I mowed the lawn." The object pronouns "me," "him," "her," "us," and "them" are the objects of verbs: verbs happen to them, and they also follow prepositions of which they are the object. For example: "I ate him," and "I gave it to him." The pronouns "it" and "you" can function as subject or object pronouns. The reflexive pronouns (themselves, ourselves, himself, itself, etc.) refer back to the subject of the clause, for example: "he bit himself," and "he did it by himself." Some can also emphasize the subject's role in the sentence, for example: "I myself will take on the challenge." Reflexive pronouns have other uses, which can be found in any dictionary.
Community Q&A
When jean text messages while driving, her attention is diverted. This makes her car swerve.
- Before you speak or write a sentence that mentions more than one person and includes pronouns, remove all the people's and things' names, leaving only the pronoun(s). Here's an example. You're about to say or write, "Paul played piano for Mary, the twins and I."
- First, identify all pronouns. One pronoun is I, and he is the pronoun referring to Paul, the pianist.
- What pronoun should you use for Mary? She or Her?
- Silently, try this test: Listen to your sentence with only the sentence's beginning name or pronoun, as well as only one other pronoun. The example above then becomes, "John played piano for I."
- Suddenly, it's clear that something's wrong. You would naturally say, "John played piano for me."
- Remember: I, he, she, they and we can only be used as the subject of a sentence, which almost always falls at the start of the phrase.
- Some common pronouns are I, me, you, he, him, she, her, it, we, us, they and them.
- Here's an example with a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object. In other words, this sentence has three cases:
- "Bob gave Mary a book."
- The phrase's subject almost always comes first and answers the question, 'Who or what is doing something?' In this case, it's Bob.
- The direct object answers the question: 'Who or what is being acted upon?' Here, it is a book.
- The indirect object is the noun or pronoun which is acted for, by, to. of, from, with, about, over, under, through, against, or via some other preposition which precedes it.
- But beware: to is sometimes missing but implied. "Jack gave Jill the book" is actually "Jack gave the book to Jill.
- Frequently, the error involves confusing I with me. The use of I or me is dictated by the pronoun's case in the sentence, i.e. whether it's the subject of the phrase in question or not, not by the number of people mentioned.
- The same goes for them, they, we, us, and so forth.
- If the pronoun acts as the subject of the phrase, the only possibilities are I, you, it, he, she, we and they. On the other hand, if the pronoun is either the direct object or indirect object, the choice is between me, you, it, him, her, us and them.
- Remember: It makes no difference how much you load a sentence down with laundry lists of other people or "stuff." The rightness of I or me –or any pronoun– is absolute and doesn't change because of the number of people mentioned. Here's another example of a common blunder, which you can rapidly detect by omitting all nouns and using only pronouns:
- "Dad snapped a photo of Mike and she."
- Try the replacement test: Dad, a photo and Mike disappear.
- Would you say: "He snapped it of she" ?
- Never! Adding your cousin Albert, Aunt Gladys, Grandma Moses, George Washington and Betty White doesn't change the proper choice between she and her.
- By definition, pronouns can replace nouns. A noun may be a proper name such as Tom or Africa, a physical "thing" like a house, a cerebral idea like height, or a concept such as the word intelligence. In short, any thing can be represented by a pronoun.
- You is an oddball pronoun. It remains the same whether it's the subject or not in any sentence!
- An error seldom arises if there's only one "object" element in the sentence. For instance, here's a sentence which sounds unquestionably correct to us all: "Daddy Warbucks asked Mary to dinner."However, doubts and mistakes mysteriously slip in when an additional person is included by use of a pronoun, as for example here:
- "Daddy Warbucks asked Mary and I to dinner."
- The subject will never be preceded by a preposition, such as those listed above.
- Note: There are several additional part-time prepositions, such as before, which can double as adverbs in which case they may fall directly ahead of the sentence's or phrase's subject.
- Here's an example of before, used first as an adverb, then as a preposition:
- "Before I resign, I must confess before God and you..."
- So, when before, after and others are referring to a position in time instead of a physical location, they're called adverbs, not prepositions.

On the way back from a Celtic festival tonight, I saw a pick up truck with a license plate that said "MLR TIME". I wonder how many times that person has been pulled over for veering a tiny bit over the yellow line?

The rider in my avatar is David Etxebarria, not me.
at a previous job we had a label maker that made labels 3 inches tall by however wide we wanted.
we used to make stickers that say "Cops Suck" and "I Dare You To Pull Me Over" and "Yes I'm Drunk" and various vulgarities and put them on the bumpers of cars at the building next door.
I'd have loved to have seen when those people got pulled over
I once made a big sign that read, "Severed Human Head Inside", and taped it to the side of a co-worker's lunch cooler. At the end of the day, I graciously offered to get his cooler for him, and then handed it to him so that the sign was on the side of the cooler facing away from him. As we walked down the street, I positioned myself so he'd have to walk on the part of the sidewalk next to traffic. When we got to my car, I asked where he was going next. "Oh, to the train station to pick up my wife," he said casually, still unaware of the sign.

Ahhhhh. Practical jokes. The spice of life.
We used to do that at work too.
Best one was one of the techs who was known for being pretty out of it.....we nicknamed him johnny neutron.
Well one day at the weekly meeting, he asked who ths wiseass was that removed the "TECH BENCH" tag from his bench and put "J. NEUTRON, TECH" in it's place. ...then after the meeting he earned his name yet again by running into a pole
People more or less try to sneak up on me....it usually doesn't work.

If you have ever been shot at and do my job day in day out and see the worse of the worse you would take offense. For someone to have a plate that says that shows me a potential subject to be weary of. While yes.....DMV should have axed that plate they didn't and I respect freedom of speech. Now with that why are we sued when say racial slurs if freedom of speech protects all. Then why in a crowded theater can't we yell fire whether joke or not........freedom of speech <some would say yes.Originally Posted by Stacey
I think you open yourself up to harassment with such so called freedom of speech when you display a tag like that. I have held the hand of a dying officer on the streets on Christmas night from being shot......a man who gave his life to protect yours you might say. I take offense and nothing will change my mind on that tag. Same as if if said the so called "N" word we all hate to hear or get so sensitive. If a plate said something derogatory to the black race I would take offense to that as well.
Distrust of cops if you have it is fine................but to openly make a statement as to killing one.......sorry, freedom has just overstepped it's bounds.

I love the "if you'd done xx thing i've done, your views would be yy" defense, simply because it's not true. While, yes, the license plate should not be issued (and i'd complain to the DMV if it were in the same way I can't have a racist plate), since a license plate is from the government, you should still have a right to say it in some way (t-shirt, bumper sticker, etc.), even if it does piss people off. Of course, when said people kick your ass, it's your fault.

In some places, that will also get your ass kicked.

I have no problem with you taking offence to what any one says. You can be offended by what ever your little heart desires.
I understand and appreciate the fact that LEO's risk and sacrifice their lives on a daily basis. Still this gives you no quarter to harrass a citizen for a lawfully obtained and approved registration plate.
Your analogy is very ineffective and I'll not rebuke them because they detract from discussion of the topic at hand. The plate in and of itself is harmless even when attched to a vehicle it is still harmless.
This discussion demonstrates Horace Greeley's comment that "Common sense is very uncommon."Originally Posted by Stacey
Presented with a sentiment that if acted on would be illegal, I'd think that most LEO's would wait for a probable cause reason to stop the vehicle.
To put another slant on it, suppose a truck passed you with the license plate
BKE KLR? Would the implied disdain for your life and threat to your life be your primary concern, or would you focus on the driver's freedom of expression? Personally I'd think the driver did not feel bound by normal social mores, and act accordingly.
If you only knew how many times PC attached to your everyday driving taht could get you stopped but doesn't would scare you to death. I assure you after riding behind anyone in the US for about 5 miles I could have a handful of reasons to stop the vehicle. fact is officers do not because we could never get anything else done. I guess we see differently on this and that is fine because like you said...........we are free to think as we want.
I guess enough said. I will refrain from any further post to this thread because it has taken a different slant.

I note that msheron said in his first post that he would have to have a reason to pull the car over. Just the plate would not be enough it seems. And, yes, there would be plenty of reasons that could be found.

It's not a plate, but some years ago we had a bumper sticker that said something like, 'Dislike my Driving?, Call 1-800-Eat ****'. I kid you not.
Now we have statutes not allowing bumper stickers that make any such

I have changed my lcd density through my build prop.
I'm using app settings in xposed and changed the sview Cover app to 480 but there is a black bar at the bottom.
Anyone know how to fix this?
there is a semi solution for this
usually people use rom toolbox to change the entire dpi.
first you must return the dpi to the normal 640 in rom toolbox
then in app settings Xposed change com.android.systemui dpi to 480
and then go to Android System (Android) and change the dpi back to 640
don't forget each time you must turn on the app setting and save after the change
this might effect some of the apps and show it in normal size but it will fix your problem
plus you can change any app's dpi to 480 from app settings later and make it small again.

Homer2000 posted a topic in New Member IntroductionsHi All, My wife bought a 2009 Diesel Fiesta Style on Friday which she seems to love. She previously owned a petrol 2007 Focus, but needed something a bit more economical hence the change to diesel. The low £20 / yr road tax helps too. Anyhow, I thought I'd join the club as I find these forums very useful, and undoubtedly as time goes on I'll be the one looking for help to solve those niggly little problems !

Sail on into the weekend with Angel Adoree's Potato Ships recipe
Looking for something to cook up with the kids this weekend? Angel Adoree's Potato Ships are a great idea. Children will find them fun and easy to make and they taste pretty darn good too. They work equally well as a clever canape for a drinks party. Follow the recipe here…
Angel Adoree's Potato Ships recipe
'I believe the love of potatoes starts from birth, but I would feel guilty serving a spud without the fun factor!' says Angel. 'When I saw these ships at a grown man's nautical-theme party, I just had to borrow the idea. It's debatable whether it works quite so well for a 25 year old, but who am I to judge? Sail on with any topping of your choice.'
Prep 15mins
cook 25-30mins
serves 12
12 mini potatoes (Charlotte work well)
2 cherry tomatoes
4 thin slices of ham
60g (2¼ oz) Cheddar cheese, grated
1 .Preheat the oven to 200°C and bake the potatoes for 25–30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the ham into little triangles and quarter and then halve again the cherry tomatoes. Skewer them onto cocktail sticks to make the sails.
2 Remove the potatoes from the oven and, when cool enough to handle, slice off the tops. Scatter over the cheese and place the sails on top. Enjoy!

I am in need of a new crandset for a bike (Trek 7500) that I am going to use to tour. I am almost ready to order a Shimano XT and then I run across the Sugino XD 600. I have searched the posts here and see several have recommended the Sugino crank. At $75 it certainly is reasonably priced.
Here is the question. What is the quality of the Sugino crank, and will it stand up to long distance loaded touring? I do not want a failure out in the middle of nowhere.

footprint a must in my weather
Great accessory for the tent specially in the tropic. Helped the tent materials keep clean even in hard rain / muddy conditions.
Not quite what it's meant for
I decided to give it a try as a mat for my rope. I like how big it is, very handy on uneven ground, if it starts pouring I just wrap the rope up in it and stick it on my pack, and it keeps the rope dry. Over all pretty happy with it. It is a little big but better big then too small.
