Now, he is watching the team beat itself, and it's about all the veteran center can handle.
So, Raiola has a simple message for his teammates who can't control their emotions: Grow up.
Actually, the language he used in the locker room after the game was a lot more blue, but the message was the same.
Detroit can't give a team like New Orleans help by committing 11 penalties for 102 yards.
"We're undisciplined," Raiola said. "Undisciplined. Undisciplined. We (messed) it up. No discipline. It's very disheartening to do this (stuff) in the big games, and we've got to clean it up.
"We're not going to win any games if we play like that."
The Saints roared to a 24-7 lead at halftime, but the Lions defense took care of business in the second half, holding New Orleans to one touchdown, while the offense pulled within one touchdown. Time after time, though, penalties hurt the team.
After getting the ball to start the second half and driving more than 80 yards down the field, Detroit was on the doorstep of scoring a touchdown. Maurice Morris picked up 4 yards on a second-down running play, putting the Lions on the Saints' 3-yard line.
But rookie receiver Titus Young drew a flag for unnecessary roughness after the play. Instead of facing third-and-1 from the 3, Detroit had second-and-16 from the 18-yard line and wound up settling for Jason Hanson's 31-yard field goal.
At the start of the fourth quarter and trailing by seven points, the Lions defense had forced the Saints to punt. Stefan Logan didn't get much on the return, but Detroit's offense took over at the New Orleans 33-yard line. But Logan drew a flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, forcing the offense to start at the 18-yard line.
A 47-yard catch by Nate Burleson got the Lions down the field, but they had to settle for a field goal attempt by Hanson, who missed the 55-yarder. The Saints took over with great field position and scored their final touchdown to make it a two-score lead.
Even as one of Detroit's captains, Raiola said there's nothing he can do to stop people from making bad decisions; they've got to start playing with more maturity.
"People just need to grow the (expletive) up," Raiola said. "People are 21 years old and older -- everybody in here. Everybody's like 'Captains this, captains that.' Enough already."
He then went into a profanity-laced tirade loud enough for anyone in the locker room to hear.
Burleson doubts penalties
Among the other penalties, receiver Nate Burleson's three offensive pass interference fouls stood out. It is rare for the teams to have a combined three offensive pass interference fouls in a game, let alone one player.
The veteran receiver said it has never happened to him before. While he stipulated he will have to review the film, his hunch was only one was a legitimate penalty.
"It was weird," he said. "We're taught to play aggressive -- you know, a lot of teams want to get up and try to bully us as receivers, and we're taught to be aggressive to the ball.
"One of them, I blatantly pushed off. I'll take responsibility for that. But like I said earlier, the two that I caught, I don't see how they could have called those."
Aside from the penalties, Burleson had one of his best games in weeks, catching five passes for 93 yards.
Fairley earns first career sack
With Detroit defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh serving a two-game suspension, Nick Fairley saw an increase in playing time. The rookie had the first sack of his NFL career, dropping New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees for a 1-yard loss in the first quarter.
It was nice to break through, but it doesn't make up for the 31-17 loss to the Saints, Fairley said.
"It felt good, as an individual," he said, "but as a unit, it didn't turn out how you want it to, so we have to go back to the drawing board and see where we made mistakes and correct them."
On the bright side for Detroit's defense was its play in the second half, when it held the high-powered New Orleans offense to just seven points.
"Basically, we just started playing our ball," Fairley said. "(We) stopped thinking and just went out and played ball. As a defense, that's one thing we harp on -- don't think; just go out and play. So, we just calmed ourselves down and started playing Lions ball."
Smith leaves game
Running back Kevin Smith left the game at the beginning of the third quarter and did not return. He aggravated a high ankle sprain he suffered in the Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay.
Fairley also aggravated the foot he broke in training camp. The injury sidelined him for the first four games of the season. Unlike Smith, however, he returned. Fairley said X-rays were negative.

A sad Update: Bossk passed away on July 4th, 2005 after a battle with cancer. We miss him dearly.
This site is dedicated to him.
Hi and Welcome to Bossk's Den located at the foothills of Duggar Mountain. Duggar Mtn. is located in Northeastern Alabama and is part of the Talledega National Forest. It was declared Duggar Mountain Wilderness Area .as of April 1st, 2000 which just so happened to be Bossk's third Birthday.
Another development going on here is the Rails to Trails Project. This project is an old railroad bed which has been turned into a great scenic bike trail where you can get a good view of Duggar and the surrounding mountains.
Bossk is a boxer of course with all a boxer's zest for life. He lives here with his mom, Melissa, his dad Mark and his little brother Benjamin who made his arrival on November 9, 1999. He also shares his den with Lucas the boxer pup.
Here is Benjamin looking thoughtful.
Bossk shares his den with Master Yoda, the lone ferret . We bidded a farwell to Jawa on January 23,2000 and Meeko on March 30, 2000. They are waiting at the Rainbow Bridge.

So, you've decided to lose some weight.
That's great!
There are so many benefits that go along with losing weight and finding a healthy weight that you can maintain, from having more confidence to being more healthy.
And this article will help you because there's a lot of advice out there about how to lose weight and secret tips, but really there are 5 things you need to do, and this article explains exactly what they are.
5 Most Effective Tips for Weight Loss - Part 1
1. Exercise - as much as some people try to avoid this, weight loss is not going to happen in a healthy way unless you exercise. And there are so many different types of exercise for you to choose from, you're sure to find some you will enjoy. Exercise is also a good example of changing your lifestyle so you focus on a healthier life instead of food being your main interest. Remember to exercise at least 3 times a week and make sure the exercise raises your heart rate, otherwise it won't lead to weight loss. It's no good to walk very slowly, for example, that won't make you lose weight.
2. Diet - don't go following fad diets that only let you eat one or two things, or the diets that cut off whole food groups. Just build a sensible, healthy diet that gives you plenty of nutrients and enough calories but not too many. There's lots of information available about building a sensible diet if you just make an effort to find it and put it into practice.
3. Supplements - you lose weight easiest when your body is receiving the correct balance of nutrients. This makes fat loss easier, speeds up your metabolism and allows your food to be digested properly. The supplements you should take depend on many different factors, and you should never go and buy supermarket brands as they are full of artificial rubbish, so speak to a professional nutritionist who will put together a supplement programme for you.
There are 2 more often overlooked tips for losing weight, and I'll share those in my next post.
Have a great day!

Great post Tara!
Loved reading it. At this point of time, this post is just what I need to read!
Tara, Farrhad —
I remember from "The Right Stuff" that test pilots had almost a tradition of balancing the incredible stress they experienced with equal shares of hell-raising. They called it "maintaining an even strain." Not sure hell-raising is the best way to do this, but I get the point.
Every student should know all of this stuff. Kids battle a lot on this stage. Pressure can be great. If you do not have good study habits, you might fail. Some kids though can pass doing with little studying. Hopefully they did it without cheating.
Every person should always watch out for their health. I agree on what you have recommended. Many kids may have difficulties in coping up with their classes if they end up getting ill every semester.
Thanks for commenting
Shopping around for the best deals. Trying to keep debt just to the student loan is a good target.It is easy to arrive at university and very quickly spend your way to financial hassle. Cut down on those nights out, curries and kebabs and instead try to cook for yourself more…..
Thanks for the comment, Brad! Hope to see you around
Ya.. me too trying to balance between studies and Blogging, It was quite hard in the beginning, now Its quite ok.. Hope to improve more in future
This is a great post, its always very tough to balance school and other things especially when the tests start coming up. But after a while you start getting a schedule down and than you can start dedicating certain times of the day just to blogging and others just for studying
@Nicholas Only the initial effort is tough.
@Bidet I tried that, but as my exams came even closer, i stopped.
School-Life Balance is necessary to be healthy and productive. There should be time for work and time for play. Never sacrifice one for the other.
We both are students Fraudy.
This is a rocking post, that we must always keep in mind.
Great post, Tara.
Probably most important is avoiding junk food. With balanced food you can truly feel more relax, concentrated and you don't need so much time to sleep. With health food you will benefit hugely.
Being a student is really tough. I find it hard finding a balance between my social life and my studies.
0845 numbers last blog post is New Year price cuts on overseas calls
Balancing always a must. Not only in a student life but also at all aspects. It makes something or someone always at a good stage. Thanks for the post! Looking forward to follow up posts regarding this balancing idea.
Yeah right, I definitely agree with you. Health is very important. As a student pressure is part of it and we do really need to balance our life as a student.
being a student is not so easy, trials and difficulties will come your way. student should be guided and support by their parents to balance their needs not only in financial but also in physical and emotional needs.
Being a student was really a difficult one. Balancing our time to studies and blogging and some sort of SEO were greatly a great and hard part of it. Sleepless night just to finish all of my requirements.
I really appreciate the help and thiink your blog is awesome. It was a bunch of information bit after reading it I thought it was well written and helpful. I wish you the best of luck!
This blog is really awesome, thanks for sharing specially the idea of giving importance in our health.^_^
I used to have poor health when we were doing our thesis and definitely loose weight. But it feels so great that I am graduating this march. ^_^
Great post! Attaining my degree in computer science was pretty tough at times. And I remember that towards the end, there was no question of balancing – just getting through with it.

Hello there, I am pretty excited with your next article. Hope it will come out soon.
And to start any sport, for me best sport was swimming. I become more organized, even when you have less time you start to feel you have a lot of time..
Great post, Tara!
I am currently studying so this will help
Students IMO have the toughest lifestyle. Great post!
Great post!And very useful recommendations for students!The balance between work and rest must be observed for happy being.Any disbalance may bring stress and strain that cause depression and illnesses.
Well for brilliant students its necessary that u concentrate on studies as well as other activities which can help u in future.
nice article I am also a student…with a hectic schedule thanks for posting it i got some idea
Great post… I'm a student myself (just about to go into college… not sure what you call it in US though 😉 ) and think that time management is very important. In around a month or two I'll be starting my exams and therefore managing my work is even more important.
I do think it's nice to put aside enough time for your hobbies though…
Awesome nice post
If you are not disciplined and don't have proper life style, it may affect you in future. whatever you do, just relax and follow some proper routine at least 4 days in a weak. on holiday you can opt for outside visit.
Hello there,
Balancing is really important not just like being student also as employee.
Pressure is always part of it so we must know how to handle pressure properly. right?
nice article hope more student can read this. they can relate by this good job.
Really great advice. I work at a university and always wonder why it is that the uni cafeteria serves unhealthy food. All the students gain weight when they come here and it would be so much better if students ate food that helped them in their studying instead of impairing it.
Now this time i am a student thats why this post is really good for me.thanks to sharing it.nice job dear..
I completely agree. Balance is essential, and fitness stimulates the brain and allows you to produce better content.
Honestly, I don't really study until I have tests coming up. I don't want to spend all of my time studying, because like Simon said, it really does have a bad effect on you.
Alex | Asnio.com's last blog post..Thesis Thursday #1: All you need to know about Thesis 1.5
My tips for balancing life with school work? Leave school at school. I never study, but instead, focus and pay attention in my classes, and try to ask important questions while I'm focused on the content. I do my homework at lunch or during class downtime, and when the final bell rings, I go home, and often leave my books in the car.
Should you study for tests? Definitely. However, I think if you work hard, you can get the majority of your work finished while you're in the buidling, and free up those precious afterschool hours. 😉
When I was a student pressure in doing our thesis makes my health suffered,I always slept late just to finish my task which made me realized that health is really important.
Either your a student or an employee we must know how to balance life properly and maintain healthy.
Don't skip breakfast because that's where we get energy for the the whole day.
From my own experience, I know how difficult it can be to balance all of your activities as a student. College can be very stressful. You really learn to appreciate the value of a good nights sleep. That's really courageous and honorable of your friend to decide to go back to school to pursue her dream. College is supposed to be a good time, but by the same token you are supposed to work hard to prepare for your future. Balancing work and fun is important.
till then,
Balancing work and fun is important no doubt,but all the life is balance itself,balance between work and rest,business and education,business and family,and so on.And it is worth learning how to balance to create a really harmonic life.

Honeymoon Confession
A couple was on their honeymoon, lying in bed, about ready to consummate their marriage, when the new bride says to the husband, "I have a confession to make, I'm not a virgin."
The husband replies, "That's no big thing in this day and age."
The wife continues, "Yeah, I've been with one other guy."
"Oh yeah? Who was the guy?"
"Tiger Woods."
"Tiger Woods, the golfer?"
"Well he's rich, famous and handsome. I can see why you went to bed with him."
The husband and wife then make passionate love. When they get done, the husband gets up and walks to the telephone.
"What are you doing?" says the wife.
The husband says, "I'm hungry, I was going to call room service and get some food."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."
"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it a second time."
The husband puts down the phone and goes back to bed to make love with his wife a second time. When they finish, he gets up and goes over to the phone. "What are you doing?" she says.
The husband says, "I'm still hungry so I was going to get room service to get some food."
"Tiger wouldn't do that."
"Oh yeah? What would Tiger do?"
"He'd come back to bed and do it one more time."
The guy slams down the phone and goes back to bed and makes love to his wife one more time. When they finish he's tired and beat. He drags himself over to the phone and starts to dial. The wife asks, "Are you calling room service?"
"No! I'm calling Tiger Woods to find out what's par for this hole."

The Husband replied by saying "If you mistakely slip into the well being dug up outside our house, That means an accident. But if you get saved and comeback, Then it will be my badluck.
A small tourist hotel was all abuzz about an afternoon wedding where the groom was 95 and the bride was 23.
The groom looked pretty feeble and the feeling was that the wedding night might kill him, because his bride was a healthy, vivacious young woman.
But lo and behold, the next morning, the bride came down the main staircase slowly, step by step, hanging onto the banister for dear life.
She finally managed to get to the counter of the little shop in the hotel. The clerk looked really concerned, "Whatever happened to you, honey? You look like you've been wrestling an alligator!"
The bride groaned, hung on to the counter and managed to speak, "Ohhh God! He told me he'd been saving up for 75 years and I thought he meant his money!!"

These are so good. I love the look of them.
Peel the lotus root. Cut it into thin discs (1/8 inch thick) using a mandoline or sharp knife. Soak it in a mixture of water plus a couple teaspoons lemon juice for a few minutes. Pat it dry.
Preheat the oven to 450 F and put a pot of water to boil.
When the water comes to a boil, salt it and drop the discs in. Switch off the flame after four minutes. Put the discs on a tea towel to drain and place another tea towel on top.
As they are drying, put 2 tablespoons oil on an UNLINED baking sheet. A baking sheet should take 25-30 discs.
Add some salt and cayenne (chilli powder) to the oil, mix it together.
Add the lotus root discs to the oil mix and gently coat them. Spread them on the sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes, turning them once midway.
The tastiest ones, we found, are crisp on the outside and slightly chewy inside. So try not to cut them paper thin, or to dry them out completely while baking.

Rain Leads to White Sox sweep
The Headline: in a rain shortened contest, Chicago has the final say as the Mariners get swept
Seattle Mariners 3, Chicago White Sox 4
When: 4:00 ET, Sunday, August 26, 2012
Where: US Cellular Field, Chicago
Temperature: 69
Umpires: Home — Jim Reynolds, 1B — James Hoye, 2B — Jim Joyce, 3B — Lance Barrett
Attendance: 23,146
Love 'em
1. Kevin Millwood
Kevin Millwood has been great at rebounding this season. He'll meet every horrid start with a strong one.
Since giving up seven run against Baltimore August 8th, the right hander has had three quality starts in a row.
The third came today, as Millwood pitched 6.2 innings on just 85 pitches—63 for strikes. He allowed four runs, three earned, on seven hits and one walk, while striking out three.
2. Dustin Ackley
Dustin Ackley had a really strong day today, looking like a bonafied leadoff man.
The M's second baseman was 1-3 at the dish today with one walk. He also scored a run. His walk was perhaps his most impressive at bat of the day, as he took four straight balls.
Ackley finished the series with at least one hit in all three games against Chicago. During his streak he's hitting .462 with four runs scored.
3. Bottom of the order
Usually the epitome of an "automatic out," the bottom of the order provided plenty of offense in today's contest.
Justin Smoak had a great day yesterday, and continued that today with a 2-3 performance, while also scoring a run. Batting behind him was Casper Wells, whose two run shot in the fifth helped Seattle stay in the game. He finished the day 1-3.
Hate 'em
1. Saunders Out Again
Mariner's outfielder Michael Saunders sat out his second game in a row today with a groin injury. Saunder's hurt himself in Friday night's contest after an outfield collision with teammate Eric Thames.
While Saunders has slumped through the second half, his presence is always helpful in the lineup. It never hurts to have his glove out their either. Hopefully, No. 55 will be back soon, and won't have to see the DL.
2. How this one ends
Sunday's rain showers created the perfect baseball storm, and unfortunately the Mariners were on the wrong end of things.
The teams were dealing with showers all throughout the game, but they tried to continue best they could. Millwood looked strong throughout the day, not letting the constant delays get to him.
However, after a six minute delay to tend to the field, he finally slipped up. Tyler Flowers launched a two-run homer that became the game changer.
After two more hitters, the game was delayed for almost another two hours. At that point the umpires finally called things and the White Sox won.
You can make the argument that the delay should have been called before the Flowers home run, but sometimes that's just how these things go. It's unfortunate that Seattle was on the receiving end, but that's baseball.
3. Weekend Recap
Seattle entered the weekend on a high, riding a phenomenal eight game win streak. They leave with their heads hung low.
This was not a good weekend series for the Mariners. They were swept, and that's never fun. Even worse, they lost all three games by one run—which outside of being no-hit is the worst way to lose.
They'll attempt to bounce back this week, but this was certainly not the kind of play anyone wanted to see from the team.
The start was delayed 2 hours, 1 minute by rain.
Chicago LF Dayan Viciedo did not start for the second consecutive game due to a sore right shoulder.
Seattle CF Michael Saunders hopes to play in Monday's series opener at Minnesota after straining his right groin in an outfield collision Friday with Eric Thames. Chicago opens a four-game series Monday at Baltimore.

"It's a proven fact that during the summer months student retention of classroom activities declines, causing a loss of learning that impedes educational instruction once the school doors open again for a new school year," said Ronnie Agnew, Executive Director of MPB. "While this occurs in all population segments, it is especially acute among low-income households. MPB is happy to partner with PBS to offer free resources and activities to combat the summer slump."
MPB will now feature back-to-back episodes of family favorites like "Wild Kratts," "Curious George," "Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood," "Dinosaur Train," and "Arthur" throughout the day. The new schedule promises families double the fun and double the learning with double episodes.
Viewer can also catch other PBS KIDS favorites in full online at www.pbskids.org/video.
In an effort to help bridge the summer learning gap experienced by school-aged children, MPB and PBS are offering several digital resources for kids and parents alike:
Mississippi Public Broadcasting (MPB) provides instructional and public affairs programming to Mississippians through its statewide television and radio network. MPB enhances the work of educators, students, parents and learners of all ages by providing informative programming and educational resources. MPB's locally-produced programming focuses on the people, resources and attractions that reflect Mississippi's unique culture and diverse heritage. Children's television programs constitute a major portion of the daytime and weekend morning schedules. MPB provides a valuable resource to Mississippians in disseminating information as part of the state's emergency preparedness and response system. Since 1970, MPB has won over 400 national, regional and statewide awards, including Emmy®, Edward R. Murrow and Parents' Choice® Awards. For more information on MPB, its programs, mission or educational resources, please visit www.mpbonline.org.
PBS KIDS, the number one educational media brand for kids, offers all children the opportunity to explore new ideas and new worlds through television, online, mobile and community-based programs. Kidscreen- and Webby-award winning pbskids.org provides engaging interactive content, including the PBS KIDS video player, now offering free streaming video accessible on computer- and mobile-device-based browers.

First Blush Chardonnay Juice
Juice made with wine grapes!
Way, way, back about a million years ago when Gigi was but a wee loud, obnoxious kid (shocking that she grew up to be a loud, obnoxious adult isn't it?!) we had a family friend that made his own wine. And he often had grapes around that he would let us kids snack on. I couldn't begin to even guess what kind of wine grapes they were- about all I remember is that they were both red and white, as he made red and white wines. But, I can tell you that I loved to eat the grapes.
They were sweet and yet a little bigger. They had seeds in them (which I did not like) and the red grapes tended to stain. I remember that during the summer they would freeze some and use them as ice for the wine (what is it with Italians and red wine with ice?!- I swear at least half my family does it)
First Blush Juices are made with wine grapes, yet they are free of alcohol, added sugars and preservatives and they are caffeine free (but I won't hold that against them) and they are also high in antioxidants. All this reminiscing and blurbing is great but how does it taste?
I started with the Chardonnay because it has been hotter then hell here this past week (it's been in the 90's!) and I wanted something light and crisp.
Smelling the juice it smells more like classic white grape juice then chardonnay.
The first taste... It lacks the sweetness of white grape juice. I can tell that there are some apple and peach notes. But that doesn't change the fact that the main thing it reminded me of was honey cough drops and morning breath. Oddly enough not the best combo ever. A saving grace maybe that I did notice as the juice came to room temp it tasted less nasty and more like regular grape juice.
I loved the idea of this juice and I am going to try the reds- the chardonnay just did nothing for me.

@LivingDadly Same. This will always be the best Harley.
I've been doing a lot of coverage lately of this whole Facebook Beacon debacle. I honestly can't fathom what they were thinking when they came up with this whole thing.
For those not up to speed, back on November 6th, Facebook announced the launch of "Beacon", a social advertising initiative that partnered with large websites like Fandango.com and Epicurious.com. The idea is that as you interact with these other sites, the information shows up in your News Feed on Facebook, showing your friends the sites you interact with, and acting as a form of endorsement, or advertisement.
Well, the laundry list of issues this has raised is amazing. (pardon me while I link to some of the stories I've written about it)
New York state is looking in to the legalities of the system – It seems that under New York state law, you can not include someone in an advertisement without their express permission. This also applies to the new "Fan Of" feature for Facebook Pages. If you become a "fan" of a business profile on Facebook, it shows up in your News Feed.
MoveOn.org has privacy concerns – People are complaining about the information shared with their friends, and MoveOn took up the banner to raise the concerns also. I'm sorry, but no one needs to know what I'm spending my money on. Not my friends, and certainly not Facebook.
Some concessions on opting-out… but not really – On Thursday of this week, Facebook said they would make some concessions to the system, but when you read the finer details… not really. The system now asks "Do you want to share this?" (which it always did) Under the old system, if you did nothing, it took that as a "yes". Now the system will ask you again on Facebook if you want to share it, but if you take no action within two days, it still counts as a "yes".
And now… the advertisers are saying Facebook lied to them – Now it has come out that the companies that partnered up with Facebook in this plan were told that it would be an "opt-in" system, or at least had it implied to them. Coca-Cola, which was to be one of the key companies involved, has held off it's support until they see how it shakes out, and they are one of the ones saying they were misled by Facebook.
So, in short, what are they doing? Are they just so full of themselves and their rapid success that they feel they can do just about anything they want? Facebook is playing in the big leagues now, it's time they acted like it. And I'm sorry, but anything that collects my personal information should be an opt-in system, NOT an opt-out one. This is my personal information, I should not have to exert any effort to withhold sharing it.
What's everyone else think? Have they gone too far?

Weights and other equipment are not necessary to achieve bigger thighs. Exercising intensely for short periods of time while performing numerous exercises for multiple sets of high-numbered repetitions, stimulates muscle growth. According to AZ Central, all that is needed to achieve bigger thighs is body weight and the motivation to achieve results.
- Do regular cardiovascular activity
Losing fat is an important part of getting fit and building muscle. Performing cardiovascular activity for at least 150 minutes each week helps with fat loss. To target the thighs, perform exercises that focus on the lower body including running, swimming, biking and stair climbing.
- Perform exercises that target the thighs
The squat jump, plyometric jump and step-up kick-back exercises all target the lower body and specifically the thighs. The squat jump involves squatting deeply, jumping as high as possible, and then landing back in a squat. The plyometric jump involves jumping explosively onto a low box or bench, jumping back onto the ground, turning and repeating the process. Finally, the step-up kick-back involves standing in front of a bench or sturdy chair, lifting up on it and balancing with one leg, extending the other leg behind the body, lowering back down to the floor and repeating the process with the other leg.
- Maintain safety
Safety is essential in any exercise routine. Be sure to rest when necessary and avoid straining muscles too far. Consult a fitness professional or certified personal trainer if there are any uncertainties regarding safety.

I'm walking in a desert with my parents. My father is old and wears a dark overcoat and hat. My mother rides a horse. Suddenly I fall into a deep well, I look up and see my father peering down. There's no way I can climb out of the well. I'm thinking that it will take a crane or other equipment to lift me out but we're far away and this would take a long time and be very expensive. My mother goes off to get help. Then I see that I have a mobile phone and could call the Fire Dept. who will have ladders etc. But I can't figure out how to dial their number. All of a sudden I'm out of the well and standing by a food stall just up the road. I ask the woman to show me how to dial the Fire Dept. She does so and I explain that I've fallen down a well and need to be pulled out. As I say this, I realise that I'll have to jump back into the well so that when the Firemen arrive they can rescue me. I can't let them come for nothing.

I love it! Best falling-down-well story I've read. (The others were mostly parables told by Indian swamis based on ancient Chinese tales.)
And it's a kind of Aesop's fable with a moral, one which the dreamer or blog-reader must supply.

I should have said "read or heard".

Thanks, Vincent, it was a good dream/tale. Open to many interpretations!
I wonder what you'd make of it?

I would have worried about the snakes at the bottom of that old well.

No snakes in my dream, Bruce!

OK, I shall say simply what comes into my head, which is the best one can do when awake to overcome our conditioning into the world's "logic"—that thing we call sanity which tends to assail us in the few seconds after awakening from a dream. I put "logic" in quotes because it is so dominant in our waking life that we allow it to override other forms of truth that lie within us.
Falling into a well is a stratagem devised by your unconscious self to escape your parents, who in any case have already established their independence from one another, as illustrated by the fact that your mother rides a horse and your father does not. She is the one who promises a path to rescue, yet you don't believe in it. Nor do you don't believe your father can help, because he's old. Nor do you believe that your own ingenious solution of a crane will work. It is impractical
What you do have faith in is the fire service. Rescuing those who have fallen into wells is one of the things they are known and trusted to do. Unconsciously you fell into the well precisely in order to be rescued by the fire service, because they can do for you that which your parents cannot.
To escape your parents means to grow up. The dream experiences of sudden falling or going down in a lift, according to my late psychoanalyst Theodore Faithfull, always refer to the journey of bringing yourself into the present, or spiritually descending from the womb of becoming into the birth of being.
When you find yourself at the bottom of a well it symbolizes a dilemma which you cannot solve without help. In this instance, you quickly convinced yourself that your best help was the fire service. It became an idée fixe, so that even when circumstances have changed, and you are magically no longer in the well, you feel an obligation to the idea of being rescued by the fire service. The obligation must be honoured, because people who call the fire service mischievously without cause are liable to punishment.
So you must jump back into the well in order to stay legal, that is to say within the safety of the world's morality. But the act would be so patently absurd and self-defeating that it woke you up.
This, then is the dream's message: to examine and repudiate those idées fixes that keep you trapped. Only then can you be free.

Vincent, that's excellently perceptive and enlightening! Thank you very much. The dream-world's logic is so much more interesting and poetically useful than waking life logic. Last night I was jotting down my thoughts about this dream and the part about falling down the well to escape my parents is exactly what you intuited! All the rest of your interpretaion rings bells and rings true for me.
I have been copying my blog posts to Facebook for a while now and a couple of people have also interpreted this dream - have a look:

Why get back in the well? Move on! ( :
Our parents really do a number on us, even if they don't mean to.

Hattie, in the dream I didn't go back down the well, I just thought I should! So as not to hoax the Fire Dept.

Natalie, you're not the only one who has images of self in a deep, dark well - but in mine: there's nobody there to help me out. Have to climb out by myself.
- 7/3/16 15:26
- Natalie d'Arbeloff said...
Well, Davoh, you've managed to communicate even though you're in that deep dark well,so all is not lost. Should I call the Fire Dept to pull you out?
- 7/3/16 17:15
- Davoh said...
Um, OK, the child in the well is voiceless. his mouth is open in a silence yell. So, No Fire Brigades or SES (State Emergency Service) volunteers. Yes Natalie, it used to be a 'dream' (or more of a 'nightmare') from my childhood. My father died during the Pacific war when i was 6 months old. My first 5 years were with my mother and her mother. Make of that as you will, however now, in retrospect at my age as a functioning male - am sort of curious as to why i didn't end up as a transgender "queen".
There is, or was, a joke floating around during the "nonPC" people -
Flouncy bloke in local pub bar; "O, my mother made me homosexual"
farmer bloke; "Yer,well. If i sold her the wool, would she make me one too".

[oops, what a difference one letter of the alphabet makes. My pedant tells me that there should be the letter 'a' on its own in that sentence. i.e
"O, my mother made me a homosexual".]

Refinishing hardwood floors using a Under radiator sander - Refinishing any areas, that's unreachable by the edger, such as under radiators, baseboard heaters, under cabinet toe-kicks, low hanging shelves, or narrow areas.
Use the same sanding motion as the edger, when operating the under radiator sander. Avoid refinishing the same area to many times, to prevent uneven surfaces. Avoid dwelling or moving the equipment too slow, when refinishing wood floors. Can cause gouges very easily, or dark heat marks.
Some of these machine have a speed dial. Where you're able to lower the speed to reduce sanding marks. This is a helpful feature, when doing a wood stain job.
Hand scraper: Hand scrape any areas, that wasn't sanded or refinished.
Hand scrapers are available in a variety of widths. The widths starts at 1". Although, using a nice wide scraper for refinishing hardwood floors will help get most of the old wood floor finish off. I find it much more comfortable and faster with a narrow 1" scraper. Maintaining a straight sharp edge on the blade is important. It makes refinishing your hardwood floors easy and very little additional sanding is needed, to smooth out the hand scraped surface. Choose one that feels most comfortable in your hands.
On, new wood flooring, scrape corners and pencil markings.
Scrape with the grain, of the wood flooring, to avoid chipping. Scrape corners so that the boards are even and level with each other.
Scrape around doorways, all pencil markings should be removed. Otherwise, it will show up through your polyurethane finish
Tip: If, the blade is dull, sharpen it with a hand file. Carbide tipped scrapers are also available. Look for a diamond file to keep the carbides sharp.
Try and keep the blade as even or straight as possible, it will make scraping easier and faster. You'll be able to remove more old wood floor finish faster.
Orbital sander: sand all areas, that you have hand scraped and edged, with a 100 grit, remove any sanding and scraping marks that the edger, under radiator sander and scrapers, left behind or missed.
Tip: When purchasing a palm sander for refinishing hardwood floors. Purchase one with the most horsepower in it's class, the most orbital motion, along with an adjustable speed dial. See Festool hand sanders. You will need the horsepower to remove difficult sanding marks. An adjustable speed dial will help you deal with different types of wood specie. The more orbital motion the smoother and mark free the wood surface. You will want to be less aggressive with softer wood floors, because these wood species mark up, much easier.
You can hand sand these areas, also. If, you don't have an orbital sander. You will have to hand sand, with the wood grains, under radiators and cabinets. Palm sanders cannot reach these areas.
Now, you're ready to Screen or Buff your newly refinished hardwood floors.

Horton hears a why
This morning, before I was ready to hear anything, (even) so-called deep (much less good advice), a man who works with us in a supervisory position and who is old enough to get up around 3 or 4 a.m. every day so that 9 is up-time, unlike for me, came 'round talking about "who eats" and how the poor of the world, etc. He was inspired by thoughts and composing an essay.
In other times, perhaps when I was in college, I would have been interested. Most of the time I like what he's talking about.
Since I wasn't able to edit other essays or answer emails while he was talking, I took the opportunity to unpack a box I had loaded up in January when I switched offices; my goal was finding some white peony tea from Shang. Done.
His speech turned primarily to a woman slightly older than I am but who is as "what do I want to do with my life?" She has a master's degree, though, and has just gotten a new job prospect, which involves helping some of the poorest people in our nation, the descendants of those who were here when "we" got here.
One of the things he mentioned, in his sincere advice-giving manner, was that when something feels uncomfortable, it's probably the right thing to do, more so when the risk involved is toward something motivated from . . . what did he say . . .
Compassion? Certainly the word charity was not invoked. I don't remember. I might later. It was early. I was stressed and tired. But it was about honesty and others instead of self.
About six weeks ago I accepted a job writing art catalog essays. Two of them, and then I even said, "o.k." when asked to take on a third, the subject of which was clearly "not wanted" by anyone else.
The third artist has no website and uses Earthlink. Graduated art school when I was about three years old. Etc.
I contacted all three of them in due time and then fell into pits and broke the engagements . . . not really knowing why. Maybe three is too many. Maybe my social anxiety, or to downplay it, introverted nature, is just too real.
Or perhaps the main reason that I don't care, don't care about trashing my reputation with the entire art community by blowing a deadline or about hurting certain people's real feelings and causing major inconvenience or burning a bridge with one person in particular whom I really respect, is that I took this on — like I took on my last art-related gig, still ongoing, two years and running — mostly for money.
I think this started to happen after my last wanted paid job kind-of killed me emotionally and financially. I turned into a bad-relationship rebounder without even trying. It didn't happen before that. I'm sure seeds had been sown, but that fertilizer helped.
And now I'm in the weeds.
The last job I took on because it was my "dream" ended up making my mind-yard run wild with occluding vines.
It's more than a thousand dollars. It is a totally feasible project. Plenty of time. Plenty of capability and previous knowledge (of at least two out of three of these people's work).
Not compassion. Not making the world better. Not even passion. Just money.
I'll fix it in the short term.
Will I learn how to recognize it in the longer one, in the future, and more importantly, in advance?

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Harry Potter might be the most famous boy wizard in the world, but it's brainy Hermione Granger who is casting the biggest spell on fans, according to an online poll released on Tuesday.
Hermione emerged as the most popular character in J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter" series, and Emma Watson, the 19-year-old who plays the schoolgirl, was the actor fans believe will have the best career — possibly as a sex symbol — once the eight "Potter" movies have ended.
Actor Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Potter, laughed off suggestions he might be gay, but told AOL's Moviefone website in an interview; "It's always good to keep them guessing."
With "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" about to open in movie theaters round the world, 39 percent of those questioned in the poll at AOL's Moviefone.com and Bebo.com ranked Granger as their favorite character, with Potter coming in next at 29 percent.
Some 51 percent thought Watson would have the best post-Potter career, with a large majority (67 percent) approving the idea of her appearing naked.
Watson has been quoted as saying she would be prepared to strip for a movie — but only if it was made by Italian director Bernardo Bertolucci.
Radcliffe, who turns 20 years-old next week and who has already bared all in the stage production of "Equus", said he felt for his co-star and the media attention she is now attracting.
"She's always been a very, very pretty girl, and now suddenly that she turned 18, everyone's like 'OK, now she's fair game! Paparazzi!'," Radcliffe told Moviefone.com.
"It is kind of creepy, I did feel bad for her. Men will never know the kind of humiliation of having an upskirt done, which poor old Emma had," he said, referring to pictures of recent "wardrobe malfunctions" by the actress.
Radcliffe said he was aware that he was becoming something of an icon in the gay community. "Some people think I'm gay when I meet them, which I think is awesome. It's always good to keep them guessing," he laughed.
"I don't go on any blogs or chats or anything, but my friends are demons for them, and apparently someone said 'Daniel Radcliffe is gay. He's got a gay face!' I really don't know what a gay face is," Radcliffe said.
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" opens in movie theaters on July 15. Radcliffe, Watson and the rest of the cast are currently filming the two movies of the final book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", which are due out in late 2010 and 2011.

Last Friday, I had my first official prenatal appointment. It was such a different experience than what I had when I was pregnant with Carlee. This doctor sucked. Seriously. Everything sucked. The exam (ladies you know what I'm talking about,) was the worst one I have EVER gotten. Then, when he finally got to the ultrasound part, the first machine wouldn't work, he couldn't figure out the second one forever. After which, he took over 15 minutes to find the baby! I was so scared something was wrong, I mean seriously, it's not that big in there. He finally found the baby, and I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw his/her little heart beating. Then the machine wouldn't let him measure the length of the baby in order to verify the due date. Another doctor came in, and it turns out he wasn't even in the right setting, so doctor #2 changed it, and the picture (which was fairly good,) was lost. He had to start all over.
He couldn't find the baby (again) and when he finally did (again) the picture was horrible. He couldn't even get a measurement. So, he scheduled a radiology ultrasound appointment in order to confirm the due date. uh... those suck. I have to drink 2 liters of water 1.5 hours before the appointment, drive all the way to base on a full bladder, wait for them to call me in, and sit for an hour scan. Did I mention they're going to have to do one of these between 18 and 20 weeks anyway? Yeah, I've decided to cancel the first one, and just wait. I saw her/his little heartbeat, that's all I needed to see. Anyway, so that was the appointment, oh and I had to get blood drawn (again) because the doctor thought I might have something going on with my thyroid. (But he wasn't sure....) ugh. Yeah, I think I'll be changing doctors for the next appointment.
Here she/he is!!! (you might have to squint.)

She wasn't really a musician I liked, and one would possibly go so far as to blame her for the oversaturation of today's music with 4/4 electronic beat, danceable but meaningless songs. However, one cannot deny she had an impact on today's musicians.
Unlike a lot of today's mass market divas that fade after a few years, Donna Summer had a long career with many hits, and a powerful, moving voice. One of her most controversial songs, Love to Love You Baby, contained the sound of 23 faked orgasms. This was very shocking back in 1975, as sex wasn't so widely talked about.
However, are we really that much better off with what her music inspired? Perhaps I am being disrespectful to her memory, to think on it now. Isn't it disappointing, though? Most of the songs today that are done in the style she made popular contain nothing but advertisements for clothes, shoes, bags, alcohol, credit cards, and bad decisions. All that is being broadcast with a friendly, happy tune and a mindless 4/4 beat that seeps into your mind. It's no better than a marching beat.
In any case, it is not her fault that what she created became a corrupt vehicle of capitalism, is it? She had done something very innovative at the time, and she put her talent and her heart into it. So, even if I do not agree with what the result may have been... we should pay respect to her all the same. She had been a very skilled songstress, and many will miss her.

MUNICH, GERMANY – Long lists of restrictions are familiar to journalists who drive press cars from automakers' fleets: no smoking, no racing, no loaning the keys to your fugitive brother-in-law. But one prohibition placed on the BMW Hydrogen 7, a 760Li luxury liner modified to run on hydrogen in addition to its normal gasoline diet, was an eye-opener: The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey would not permit the car to be driven through the Lincoln or Holland Tunnels or on the lower level of the George Washington Bridge, according to www.nytimes.com.
It seems that BMW drew the Port Authority's attention when it began pumping liquid hydrogen into its small test fleet of dual-fuel sedans in Port Jersey, not far from the docks where BMWs disembark after their voyage from Germany. But while BMW designed the Hydrogen 7 to be as explosion-resistant as any gasoline car, memories of the Hindenburg zeppelin cause misunderstandings among consumers and bureaucrats, a company spokesman acknowledged.
As with hydrogen cars from Ford, General Motors, Honda and others, showcasing hydrogen's carbon-free potential is the BMW's reason for being. But unlike far-costlier fuel-cell cars — which generate electricity through a chemical reaction of gaseous hydrogen and oxygen — the BMW runs on either liquid hydrogen or gasoline in a familiar internal-combustion engine.
When it is running on hydrogen, water vapor is the main byproduct, as shown by a damp spot beneath the bumper when the car idles. Emissions of carbon dioxide and nitrogen oxides are nearly zero, with just traces resulting from the engine's lubricating oil and the heat of combustion.
BMW built its demonstration fleet of 100 Hydrogen 7s beginning in 2006 and keeps eight in the New York area and a dozen in Los Angeles, where testers have included the celebrities Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Will Ferrell, and Edward Norton. All told, the 100 BMWs have logged more than a million miles in testing around the world.
Automakers like Ford and Mazda are also experimenting with the technology of using hydrogen in conventional engines. Ford has built roughly 30 hydrogen powered V-10 buses for commercial customers in the United States and Canada, including major airports, the city of Las Vegas, and SeaWorld Orlando. In Japan, Mazda is road-testing a Premacy hydrogen hybrid minivan that combines a rotary engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion batteries.
BMW's Hydrogen 7 is powered by the same 6-liter V-12 found in the 760Li, re-engineered to handle the special qualities of hydrogen, including separate injection systems for each fuel. But the real gee-whiz factor is at the rear, where tanks hold 17.5 pounds of hydrogen and 16 gallons of gasoline.
Inside that hydrogen tank is nature's lightest element, super-chilled to 423 degrees below zero. At that temperature, nearing the frigid cold of outer space, hydrogen becomes a liquid and shrinks to about one-thousandth the volume, allowing the tank to pack in more fuel. Yet the vacuum-insulated tank felt room temperature to the touch, so well sealed that a block of ice inside would take 13 years to fully melt, BMW engineers say, and a fill-up of coffee would remain hot enough to drink three months later, according to www.nytimes.com.
The hydrogen tank leaves only enough trunk space for a pair of golf bags; a second-generation tank that fits the space more efficiently has been designed. The company is working with other automakers to create a standardized refueling system. When the car is parked for extended periods, the evaporating hydrogen builds pressure that must be safely released. A boil-off system mixes the hydrogen with air, runs it through a catalytic converter and releases water vapor through a rear-bumper vent.
Redundant safety systems abound. If the pressure inside the tank rises too high, a vent in the roof can release gaseous hydrogen directly. And if the car happened to roll over and block the roof opening, hydrogen would reroute through the underbody. A hydrogen detection system makes the car's four door locks glow red to warn of leaking fuel in the trunk, fuel nozzle area or under the hood; windows automatically open if hydrogen should enter the cabin.
BMW conservatively estimates a 125-mile range on hydrogen, with another 300 miles on gasoline.
If the hydrogen economy fails to take off, BMW is hedging its bets with other technologies. The company plans to unveil an all-electric Mini Cooper at this year's Los Angeles auto show; no date has been announced for sales.

I am not surprised that there were riots in Vancouver last night. The pent up emotion from the Cup run and the loss in game seven, along with booze and early end of the game, made a riot very likely. Canadian hockey team fans are unlike anything you find in the US.
Sports are the home of tribal identity in many cities around the world. They are one of the only acceptable manifestations of "Us versus Them" in democratic societies. There is no rational reason to support one team over another one. I am a Canucks fan, not a hockey fan. Many people are like this. When our team is out of the playoffs, our interest in the NHL season is over.
Fan is short for fanatic. Fanatics are not driven by rational thinking processes. When you get enough young males together that are fanatics, there is an energy that takes over the whole crowd.
I was there in 1994 for the riots, not in them but only a block away. Shortly before the riots started I had walked through the areas where the riot would take place. I remember what the crowd at the corner of Robson and Thurlow was like after the end of game seven against the New York Rangers. This was a crowd looking for an outlet for their pent up tribal anger. It was only a short time later that something happened.
In my life I have been in one full scale riot. In a riot there is an energy in the crowd takes over, men do things they would normally never do but are driven by the dynamic around them.
It was in 1985 when I was living in London. I decided to go to an anti-apartheid march. In 1985 there were several riots in London in poorer black dominated housing estates in London. This march was only a few weeks afterwards.
I met up with a part of the march starting at Hyde Park. I ended up joining with the Broadwater Farm Defense League for the march. Broadwater Farm is a housing estate in Totenham which had had a riot shortly beforehand in which a policeman was killed by the rioters.
The crowd was angry against the police, against Margaret Thatcher, against capitalism, against the rich.
The whole route was barricaded with police in riot gear all along the route. All the demonstrations I had been to before that in Canada had police directing traffic and there was no negative energy.
The first time I got scared in the crowd was when our section of the march stopped on Whitehall where it meets Downing Street. There were a lot more police at Downing Street and behind their front ranks police on horses. The crowd was screaming and yelling and directing all their anger at the police. The crowd felt like it wanted to rush the police.
I was yelling along with the rest, I was getting caught up in the energy. I was scared that something would start.
I could not leave the march because the route was completely barricaded, but I also felt to have left would have been disloyal to my comrades that I had been marching with.
We moved along and reached the end location, Trafalgar Square - the South African Embassy is located there. Our march met with two others and something like 100,000 to 150,000 people converged on Trafalgar Square.
I have no memory of the speeches, there were some. I was caught up with the crowd that was screaming and yelling at the several hundred police men in front of the embassy. We were all being worked up. There was testosterone and adrenalin at work. There was the righteous anger of the oppressed There was a desire to start a fight with the police.
The police obliged.
For the next hour or so there was battle between the demonstrators and the police. The demonstrators threw anything they could at the police, the police used their clubs and shields on anyone close enough to them to reach them.
Once the riot was under way the "us and them" tribal mentality took hold completely. This was a battle between a mob and the police. The police would charge to try and clear the square, the mob would surge back.
I saw people that were not doing anything being hit hard enough by a police club to knock them to the ground bleeding. Seeing these sort of things fed people to be more defiant.
Eventually the square was cleared. About 200 policemen were injured, no numbers were ever stated on the mob. Because of the 1985 Brixton and Broadwater Farm riots, this event is forgotten.
Being in the crowd at age 20, I can tell you that the energy of being there is an amazing high for a young man. I did nothing more than yell, shout and use my shoulder at times to push back on the riot shields - yes I was at the front of the mob for awhile. The only thing I could have done to reduce the energy of the crowd was to not have been there. Simply being their contributed to the energy, but I was only one out of tens of thousands.
Mob rule, mob mentality - these really happen, the mob is much more than the sum of its parts.
Back to Vancouver last night.
The energy many men feel about their sports team is deeply rooted in primal tribal emotions. There is an energy in the fans that amps up when you get a lot of people in one place at one time. When you get huge crowds, which make people feel like a part of the crowd and not an individual, it takes very little for that crowd to become a riot if there is a spark that sets the emotion alight.
Vancouver really has only one major league sports team. US cities of the same size have at least two and many of them have four. Hockey is a bigger sport in Canada than any sport is in the US. Canadian hockey team fans are much more like European soccer team fans than any sort of fans of any teams in the US. A city of more than two million in a province of four and half million people that follow a single team creates the focused fanaticism.
You only have to think about all the jerseys, face painting, and flags to get sense of how much this province is wrapped up in the Canucks. That energy supporting the team is the same energy that is needed for a riot to start.
You can see the difference in the energy between the 2011 Cup finals and the 2010 Gold Medal game. The nation wanted the Canadian Mens' team to win, but it is not a team people had been following for years and years knowing every nuance of the team. No one is a fan of the Canadian Olympic team.
As long as Canadians are wildly passionate about hockey, there will be a constant tension and danger of riots happening. We have seen hockey related riots in Canada in 1955 in Montreal, 1986 in Montreal, 1993 in Montreal, 1994 in Vancouver, 2006 in Edmonton, 2008 in Montreal, 2010 in Montreal and now 2011 in Vancouver. Riots will remain a threat in Canadian cities with NHL teams as long as there passionate young men supporting their team.

S Pen
S Pen
The S Pen is a key feature of the Galaxy Note 10.1. It doesn't require batteries, since energy is generated by the tablet's display, and it's pressure-sensitive, so the harder one pushes, the darker the line it makes. Samsung redefined televisions, smart appliances and smartphones, said Tim Baxter, president of Samsung America. "Today, we are going to redefine tablets, as well."
Baz Luhrmann
Baz Luhrmann joined Baxter on stage to sing the Note 10.1's praises. "Most tablets are passive ... but this is a creative tool—a toolbox," he said. You make stuff with it, you create with it, it's light and it's great to hold."
Baz Luhrmann
Luhrmann joked that when he's telling stories, he needs someone to yell, "Cut!" But first, he talked about using the Note 10.1 to create "storyboards" for his latest film, The Great Gatsby, which made them easier to share with his team in real time. On earlier films, the boards have been made using paper and scissors and glue.
Younghee Lee
Younghee Lee, Samsung's head of marketing, told the audience, "At Samsung, we believe that people are creative by nature."
Zac Posen
Lee then introduced Zac Posen, who designed the dress she was wearing. Before Samsung played a short film showing Posen collaborating with his team in his design studio, Posen called himself a "cultural receiver dish." He likes the Note 10.1's ability to allow him to collage various inspirations and media, he said.
Photoshop Touch
Adobe executive Jim Mohan also made it onto the stage to discuss the company's collaboration with Samsung to create a Photoshop app specifically for the Note 10.1. Mohan noted that projects started on the 10.1 can be opened in regular Photoshop to "take the project further." Current Analysis analyst Avi Greengart called Photoshop Touch and the S Pen the two things that make the Note 10.1 "stand out."
Smart Remote
Research shows that, more than anywhere else, people are using their tablets in front of the television. So, said Travis Merrill, director of marketing, "we also included an amazing universal remote for your TV—which we hope is a Samsung TV."
Smart App Challenge
Current Analysis' Greengart says the Note 10.1 isn't the device that will allow Samsung to take Apple's majority market share of the tablet market. First, he said, Samsung will need to further refine its tablet software and help grow the number of Android tablet apps in Google Play—which Samsung is trying to do with its Smart App Challenge. The content involves more than $4 million in prize money and runs through Sept. 30.
Get to Know the Note 10.1
After the staged segment, guests were encouraged to wander around an area of cobbled stations that showed the Note 10.1 at work—including areas dedicated to Posen and Luhrmann—and to get their hands on the tablet eventually.
Journalists and analysts were offered a tutorial on the S Pen and S Note applications.
Caricature artists helped show off the Note 10.1's artsier side.
Baz Luhrmann
Filmmaker Baz Luhrmann told a news outlet's film crew, "It's a historical moment for creative people."

Social Media Asked To Do The Queen Of England's Bidding
While many a world leader has embraced social media over the course of the last few years, the Windsors at Buckingham Palace seemed to be the last hold-outs. With Russia's Dmitry Medvedev and even dictators like Hugo Chavez having joined the social networking rank and file, Queen Elizabeth and her clan appeared to still be living in the 20th Century devoid of a tweet or an avatar. Apparently someone tipped off the monarchy that they were asleep at the switch- and they've been working double-time to catch up!
Last July, with a grand entrance on Twitter under the moniker @BritishMonarchy, the Queen of England as head of the royal family and keeper of all things social is using the microblogging site to keep her loyal subjects and the rest of the world up to date on the comings and goings of her brood. However, as Queens would have it, the royal monarch only believes in "having followers" not in following anyone themselves. With over 50,000 followers on the account, the Royals are not following a single soul in their realm.
This was followed by an update of Her Majesty the Queen's official Web site (originally established in the late 1990s) that lists the Queen's involvement not only on Twitter, but also the monarchy's accounts with YouTube and Flickr.
Interesting side note, that at the premiere of the new site, the Queen was on hand to play around with it on a gigantic screen alongside Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web inventor himself.
While apparently not ready for Facebook, or perhaps leery of its ongoing 'privacy' controversy,' the Queen like any proud parent will be posting pictures of her family online. According to Yahoo!News report, the launch of the British Monarchy's Flickr account is the Queen's latest social networking venture and will add to the Buckingham Palace's online presence in a way that is personal and open.
The site will stream the latest images of royal engagements as well as contain historic photos from the archives of the past, the palace noted. Over 600 photos have already been uploaded and may eventually "stretch back into the glories of the ancestors," according to the report.
YouTube appeared to be the House of Windsors' first test into social media waters. Back in 2006, after podcasting the annual Christmas queen's speech for the first time, the monarchy went public by broadcasting "The Royal Channel" on YouTube in 2007.
When it went live, the Queen was an instant YouTube sensation with almost 400,000 people watching it during the first two days of its launch. Today the site registers over 9 million views.
Here is the first televised Christmas Broadcast or what is called the 'Queen's Speech' delivered in 1957 at the Sandringham House in Norfolk.
In regards to privacy (and as mentioned) the possible reason the Queen has chosen to stay clear of Facebook, a spokesperson for the Queen noted on the condition of anonymity "in line with palace policy. . . we never comment on the queen's personal use of technology," and none of the Queen's social media accounts will be used to air personal opinions.
Apparently the Queen is privy to the Twitter slogan, "Loose Tweets Sink Fleets."

Not surprised by the inactivity
Unfortunately, we do see this all too often.
Why do some celebrities, big brands, etc., choose to start a Twitter account but then not actually engage with their public--the very folks who wish to hear from them? IMO, @KingJames, Alyssa Milano, @tyrabanks, and the Real Housewives do a great job at this. Even our own US President, @BarackObama, follows over 700k. The others could take a lesson from the ones who are succeeding in the public eye.
by Anonymous
Actually Buckingham Palace was fitted out with computers well before many government buildings were. The British Monarchy has always managed to keep up with technological advances and in some cases encouraged these advancements, i.e. Victoria's encouragement of telegraph & telephone innovation, Edward VII helped popularize cars in the early twentieth century, and the royal family today are always banging on about increasing internet service to rural areas.

You might be left wondering, "Where's the beach?" when adventuring around North Beach — San Francisco's Little Italy. Once the most northern beach in the city — sunken ships from the Gold Rush have since filled what was once Yerba Buena Cove. Resulting in a landlocked "beach".
The lack of water doesn't stop beach-goers at Washington Square on a sunny afternoon though! When the sun is shining in North Beach you can't go wrong with grabbing a bite from any of our 10 favorite restaurants and cafe around Washington Square.
People watch at Bodega
Bodega sits on one of the sun soaked corners of Washington Square. Pull up a chair to one of the big windows with some bar bites and a glass of wine for some primo people watching as folks stroll past Columbus Ave!
Grab some sweet treats at Victoria Pastry Company
Much-needed caffeine for mama, much-desired sprinkles for peanut. ✨ . … and just as I relaxed into my first sip, baby peanut woke up screaming. Of course. I'm having a week, people. Help me! Also, this Italian bakery is amazing and way too close to home 😬 #sanfrancisco #travelsanfrancisco #california #travelcalifornia #foodesstravels
The bane of San Francisco dentists since 1914! Victoria Pastry Company has be a beloved staple of North Beach for over a century — and you can often wax poetic with locals early in the afternoon. We suggest pulling up a chair out front so you can look out into Washington Square.
Enjoy a down-home breakfast at Mama's
How serious are you about brunch? Because the best-of-the-best breakfast in town isn't for the late-risers. You'll have to show up long before Mama's open on the weekends if you want to grab a meal on the weekend — but ask most anybody and they'll tell you it's #WorthIt.
Taste a little bit of history of Liguria Bakery
Add focaccia from Liguria Bakery (since 1911) to your list of foods to try in San Francisco! This is right up there with clam chowder is a sourdough bread bowl from Boudin's and cioppino from Sotto Mare — you'll thank us later 😉
Have brunch overlooking the Square at Park Tavern
If dog is your copilot — pull up a chair on their patio for one of the best dog-friendly brunch spots in town! Perfect spot for people watching at Washington Square — and the views of St. Peter & Paul Church are stunning.
Enjoy award-winning slices at Tony's

Okay, real talk, Tony Gemignani was the first American to take home Best Margherita Pizza at the World Pizza Cup in Naples. Seriously, no matter how short your trip to SF is — just grab a little slice of mouth heaven!
Enjoy a meal at the "original" Original Joe's
The Original Joe's that started all the other Original Joe's. Or, at least what remains of it! The first location burned down — but if you look closely around the restaurant you'll find relics pulled from the fire.
Pair bubbly and oysters at Ferry Plaza Seafood
From Ferry Building to Washington Square — oyster lovers rejoice! Ferry Plaza Seafood relocated to this bigger location on the square recently. Which means one thing: it's still under the radar! Stop by to sample their daily oyster varietys — up to 10 on any given day!
Grab a flight of beer at Rogue
Choose from over 40 bees of tap and head to their out their back patio. Bonus points for their wind barrier and outdoor heaters!
Try some dancing and Bolivian vegan fare at Pena Pachamama
There's nowhere in San Francisco quite like Pena Pachamama. What was originally meant to be a temporary music venue for a group of traveling musicians– is now going 18 years strong as the #1 World Music Venue in the Bay Area! And also happens to serve amazing vegan Bolivian food made in house. Whatever you do, don't call this a restaurant — their musicians first 😉

Star Trek - The Next Generation:
Counselor Troi Needs Help Part 3 (MF,MFF,M-dom)
by Mndom
Jean Luc Picard sighed and smiled to himself. He indeed was a lucky man. He
had just gotten back from Risa and he felt great. He remembered going there
as a tired man thinking about retiring from Star Fleet, and now was ready for
a challenge. As he walked, he talked quietly to himself. "What a glorious day
this is. Nothing can ruin it!"
Just as he said it, Q appeared. "Mon Capitan, you have returned."
Picard sighed. Q had been a menace ever since they had met. In their first
meeting, he put mankind on trial. In their second, he offered William Riker
a spot in the continuum. In the third he nearly destroyed the Enterprise when
he took them face to face with the Borg. He was a troublesome person.
"What do you want Q?"
"You'll find out" was all he said as he vanished. Picard shrugged his
shoulders and went to see Beverly for his checkup. Well, that was a lie. In
reality he was going to fuck the day lights out of her. He had been attracted
to her for years and now that she was aboard his ship, he could fuck her
anytime he wanted.
Picard got to Beverly's room, and heard moaning. He walked in quietly and
found Deanna Troi in between Beverly's legs. Deanna seemed to be moving
faster and faster as Beverly seemed to scream more and more. Deanna focused
her attention on Beverly's clit as she bit, sucked, licked, and pleasured
Beverly. Beverly was screaming and begging for more. As she came, Picard
applauded. "Fantastic work Deanna!"
Deanna blushed as she smiled mischievously.
Beverly got up and hugged Picard. "Jean Luc, I have missed you so much."
As Beverly got down to suck Jean Luc, he couldn't help but wonder what Q had
meant by his comment. However as Beverly wrapped her lips around his cock,
suddenly all thoughts about Q were forgotten. Within minutes, gallons of
Picard's cum flooded Beverly's throat. Picard rested for a moment while
Beverly licked Deanna's ass. Within moments, Picard was ready to go as he
pummeled Deanna's ass. "You are no longer a virgin here?" He inquired.
"No, Data helped me, she said.
"You are getting to be a little slut Troi, just like your mother."
"But I am your slave, sir."
With that, Jean Luc came in Deanna's ass.
Suddenly Q appeared.
Troi gasped.
"Forgetting our little deal, Deanna? I knew a Betazoid was no good in
the brains department. Jean Luc, take your dick out of my slut's ass."
"Your slut?" Picard inquired. "My dick is in her ass. Looks like she belongs
to me."
"Stupid mortal, do you really think you can convince me of anything? 5 years
ago I was ready to condemn humanity until Deanna decided to sacrifice herself
for you. In exchange for your lives, she has become my property. I own her
tits, ass, mouth, and all other parts of her. But, I don't mind sharing."
With a snap of his fingers, Deanna was spread eagled with Beverly looking at
her pussy. "Now, Beverly, its showtime."
Suddenly Q shoved Beverly's face into Deann's pussy. Beverly protested, but
Deanna's pulling of Beverly's hair, was too much. She even raised her ass,
to get a better angle. Q saw this and quickly shoved his dick up. Beverly
screamed. "No! I have never been used there!"
"Well, its time you did," Q said as he shoved Beverly's head closer into
Deanna's pussy and his own dick farther up Beverly's ass. Within minutes,
Deanna was screaming as well. After filling Beverly's ass, he spanked it
hard till it was red.
"This is certainly not the end," he cackled as he disappeared.
Picard said, "Well from now on, we must pretend to dispise Q, so nobody will
Beverly, and Deanna only smiled and nodded as they thought of the next time
Q would use them like sluts.
