SplashShopper is a shopping list application for Palm OS handhelds that is perfect for keeping lists of groceries to buy, movies to rent, CDs to buy, books to read and more! You can create an unlimited number of lists, and each list can be customized to record and display only the information that is relevant. And data can be easily synchronized between SplashShopper on your Palm OS handheld and SplashShopper on the desktop (Windows and Macintosh).
SplashShopper on the Handheld and SplashShopper Desktop are virtually identical. This user guide focuses on the features in SplashShopper on the Handheld. You may prefer to do most of your data entry in SplashShopper Desktop, however, since it's faster and easier with a keyboard, and then perform a HotSync operation to synchronize the data with your handheld.
Launch the SplashShopper Installer and follow the on screen instructions. You will be required to HotSync your Handheld to complete the installation. The installer installs the following files:
Launch SplashShopper
After the HotSync operation is complete, go to the Applications Launcher on your Handheld and tap the SplashShopper Icon.
When you launch SplashShopper on the Handheld you will be prompted to enter a registration code or to run in Trial mode. You may run the software for 30-days in full-functioning Trial mode. The Trial software and Registered software are identical. Once the trial period ends you must purchase and enter a registration code to continue using the software. You do not need to re-install the software. Simply enter a registration code and your Trial version will be converted into a Registered version and all data will remain intact.
1-Minute Tutorial
Following is a quick overview of how SplashShopper can be used as a tool for grocery shopping:
That concludes the 1-minute tutorial. Read on to learn more about the individual features of SplashShopper.
Editing Lists
List Info
List View
Tap a List name in the Home View to open the List View. The List View displays items in a list format separated into two tabs - All and Need. The following options are available in the List View:
QuickLists allow you to quickly mark a set of predefined items as needed. When you select a QuickList it will add the set of predefined items to your Need list. You can create an unlimited number of QuickLists for everything from "Weekly Groceries" to "Chicken Cacciatore ingredients" to "Bathroom supplies".
To use a QuickList, just select the QuickList name from the QuickList menu and the predefined set of items will be marked as needed and added to the Need View. Note: the QuickList items will be appended to the Need View along with any other items that are in the Need View. In this way, you can select multiple QuickLists, like "Weekly Groceries" and "Bathroom Supplies" to add the items from both QuickLists to the Need View.
Creating QuickLists
Editing QuickLists
Updating QuickLists
The Total Menu on the bottom right of the All and Need Views show the total of all the items currently in view. The Total is calculated as Quantity x Price x Tax Rate. The Total Menu changes context depending on whether you are in the All View or Need View, so that you can see the total of all items Needed, just the Uncompleted ones, and so on. Note: In order to calculate Total Completed, you must be Showing Completed Items in Need View, as specified in Preferences.
You can customize many options in SplashShopper. Tap the Menu Icon to the left of the Graffiti area to display the Prefs Menu and choose Preferences, to access the following options:
You can customize the column display of the List View in SplashShopper. Tap the Menu Icon to the left of the Graffiti area to display the Prefs Menu and choose Show Columns. In the Show Columns dialog you may choose to show or hide the following columns: Store, Category, Custom 1, Custom 2, Quantity, Units, Price, Coupon and Note.
Once a column is displayed you may:
You can customize the font size in SplashShopper to display more rows and columns of information. You can set a different font size for each List. Tap the Menu Icon to the left of the Graffiti area to display the Prefs Menu and choose Font. In the Select Font dialog select a font size and tap OK. Note: There are 8 font choices on hi-res devices, and 4 font choices on low-res devices.
Each List can be displayed with a unique row color, which makes it easier to distinguish between different Lists. To change the row color of a List, select Choose Row Color from the Options Menu and choose a new color from the color picker. Black & White devices running Palm OS 3.5 or later can choose from 16 shades of gray. You can turn off the row coloring by setting the color to white. You can change the header color as well by selecting Choose Header Color from the Options Menu.
Item Details
To create an Item, tap the New button in the List View. The Item Details dialog appears. You may fill in the following fields:
The Store Menu is similar to the Category menu, in that it can be used to filter the view to only show Items assigned to a specific Store. But unlike Categories, you can assign multiple Stores to a single Item. For example, an Apple can be assigned to only one category (Fruit) but it can be assigned to multiple Stores (Safeway, Albertsons, Costco, etc.). In addition, if desired, you can track prices on a per-store basis, in order to determine which store offers the best overall value.
To assign an Item to multiple stores, select "--MULTIPLE--" from the Store Menu to display the Stores dialog where you can assign up to eight stores for an item. If you select "Track Per-Store Prices" in the List Info dialog, additional columns will appear allowing you to track Aisles (Custom 2) and Prices on a per-store basis.
You may use the Store Menu on the top left of the List View to filter the list by Store. When viewing All Stores, and "Track Per-Store Prices" has been selected in List Info, the lowest priced entry (Store name, Aisle and Price) will be displayed. If you select a specific Store from the Store Menu (e.g., Safeway), the list will display only Items available at that Store, and the selected Store's Aisle and Price will be displayed. If it is the Store with the lowest price for that Item, the price will be displayed in black, otherwise the price will be displayed in red.
You may select the Coupon checkbox in Item Details to indicate that you have a coupon for an item. If you are showing the Coupon column, a scissors () icon will be displayed next to the Item in the List view. You may use the Coupon checkbox as a general means of marking items that are on sale or, if you are tracking prices, you can use the coupon to track the amount of the discount as follows:
SplashShopper makes it easy to enter frequently needed items. It remembers items you've entered previously and auto-fills them for you. When entering text into the Item, Store, Category, Custom 1 or Custom 2 fields, SplashShopper will attempt to auto-fill the text for you based on matching data previously entered in those fields. For example if you write the letter "A" in the Item field, SplashShopper will auto-fill the field with a previously entered Item that starts with the letter "A", like "Apple". You can accept the auto-fill text by entering a Graffiti return character (back slash), tapping another field or tapping OK.
Memorized Items
Items, Stores, Categories, and Custom fields are memorized automatically as you enter them into SplashShopper. You can then select them from the popup lists that appear in the Item Details dialog. You can add, edit or delete Memorized Items, as follows:
Select Edit Items from the Item popup menu in the Item Details dialog. The Edit Items dialog is displayed.
Deleting Items
Normally, items are not deleted from SplashShopper and remain in the All View so that you can easily add them to the Need View in the future. However, you may delete items that you no longer want to keep in the All View, as follows:
Deleting a single Item
Deleting a group of Items
You may beam an entire list or just needed items to another handheld device that is running SplashShopper.
Beaming a List
Beaming Needed Items
You may beam Needed Items to another handheld, as follows:
No Stylus Mode
The No Stylus Mode is a convenient way to navigate SplashShopper without using a Stylus. No Stylus Mode allows you to use the hardware buttons to scroll the list, select Items and check them off as completed/uncompleted. This is particularly useful when using SplashShopper to check items off of your shopping list while doing your shopping. You may turn No Stylus Mode on or off in the No Stylus Mode dialog, which can be accessed by going to the Home View, tapping the Menu Icon to the left of the Graffiti area to display the Options Menu and choosing No Stylus Mode.
Menu Commands
Tap the Menu icon to the left of the Graffiti area to display the Options Menu. The following Menu Options appear.

SplashShopper Desktop
SplashShopper Desktop is a Windows and Macintosh desktop application that provides identical functionality to SplashShopper on your Handheld plus some added features. Information is synchronized between SplashShopper on the Handheld and SplashShopper Desktop via the SplashShopper Conduit. You may find it more convenient to enter your items in SplashShopper Desktop using your keyboard and mouse, and then performing a HotSync operation to synchronize the data with SplashShopper on your Handheld. SplashShopper Desktop is virtually identical to SplashShopper on the Handheld, with the added ability to copy/paste, print and import/export as described below.
You can select multiple Items in SplashShopper desktop by clicking Items while holding down the control or shift key. Then you may copy the Items to the clipboard and paste them into another list. Or you may copy/paste Items between Users if you are syncing multiple handhelds with the same desktop by switching between users in the User Menu.
You may print your shopping lists from the desktop by selecting Print from the File Menu. SplashShopper will print whatever is displayed on screen. You may wish to customize the print format by hiding or showing columns or adjusting their width.
You can share information with other SplashShopper Desktop users by exporting and importing your SplashShopper records. Records can be exported/imported in several formats:
SplashShopper vsh
To create a vsh file, simply display the Items that you wish to export (e.g., All View, Need View, a specific Category or Store, etc.), then select Export/vsh from the File Menu. In addition to the Items that are exported, all of the List Preferences (columns shown, field names, tax rate, etc.) are also contained in the vsh file. The recipient of the vsh file may open the file by double-clicking it or selecting Import/vsh from the File menu. When importing a vsh file, you have the option of creating a new list (which contains all of the pre-defined preferences) or importing just the records into an existing List.
You can download and upload sample vsh files as well as share tips and tricks with other SplashShopper users on the SplashShopper User Group at:
Needed, Item, Store, Category, Custom1, Custom2, Qty, Unit, Price, Coupon, Auto-Delete, Tax, Notes
It is easy to create the above format in Excel by creating a spreadsheet with 13 columns (as described above) with one record per row. Then save the file in CSV format.
Third-party import filters
Note: When importing a file, you are asked whether you want to create a new list from the file, or import the data into an existing list.
SplashShopper Conduit
Items may be created or edited on the Handheld or Desktop and the changes will be synchronized between the Handheld and Desktop during the next HotSync. By default information is synchronized in both directions, but you can adjust the settings, if desired, using the SplashShopper HotSync Conduit.
To open the SplashShopper Conduit, do the following:
Backup and Restore
SplashShopper data is stored on both the handheld and the desktop, and each acts as a backup of the other. So, in effect, if you lose the data on one of these devices through a catastrophic event (e.g., hard drive failure), the data will be restored to that device from the other device during your next HotSync.
Automatic vID Backups
My Documents\SplashData\SplashShopper\Backup\<list name>-Palm-UserName.vsh
If you later need to restore this data, simply double-click the .vsh file and you will be prompted to either import the data into an existing list or create a new list from the data.
Manual vsh Backups
Handheld Data Backup
SplashShopper Desktop for Windows
SplashShopper Desktop for Macintosh with Palm Desktop 4.0 and OS X

In the early 1950s, it was neighbors who envisioned the Wissahickon Skating Club (WSC), corralled local resources and funded the construction of the rink, which has been serving the community at Cherokee Street and Willow Grove Avenue ever since then.
Today, the driving force that keeps the Zamboni cleaning the ice is still neighbors and volunteers who organize and manage the private club, from its business affairs to its programs like basic skating skills, tots and figure skating and senior hockey, with men as old 74 as on the ice.
In 2011 its intermediate synchronized skating team competed at nationals, as did the juvenile team this year. The club produced Stanley Cup and Hall of Fame NHL goalie Mike Richter and numerous Division 1 and 3 players at schools such as Yale, Wisconsin, Harvard and Vermont. Oscar Iobst, who served as WSC's president in the 1970s, later served as President of the United States Figure Skating Association (USFA).
Led by investor and former Yale hockey player Jack Fearey, a group of prominent Chestnut Hill and eastern Montgomery County families decided to create the club more than a half-century ago. Town meetings were held. They raised $3000 by asking for $5 donations from local families to determine who might be interested. They called it the "$5 Dollar Club."
Today, the club has 459 members, 148 of whom are family members. On Friday nights it offers public skating year round except when the club closes for maintenance in July. WSC is offering a $2 discount to the skate-around on Friday, Nov. 2.
"It's a family club," said Jerry Quill, board member since 1974. Quill, 74, a former Colgate defenseman, plays senior hockey three times a week at the club.
"What we want," he said about men's and senior hockey (he has played as a captain in both), "is when in the third period when you're totally wiped out, for a forward to come all the way down the ice and help me on a two-on-one."
Quill has served on and off as treasurer, is head of the junior hockey committee and coached hockey at various levels while his son played and even afterwards. He provided us with some of the club's history during a recent conversation.
When neighbors realized the level of interest, they floated bonds ranging from $500 to $10,000. In 1954 they raised $250,000, and the rink was open for skating a year later. By 1960, the public skating had become such a success that it enabled the construction of the upstairs Muehlbronner Lounge and the rear locker rooms to take place.
The Muehlbronners, Walter and Irene, were original members. As a figure skating pair, they won silver medals in the 1949 and 1950 U.S. Championships. Their son Wally grew up in the club, and now he coaches the celebrated La Salle College High School team.
The family is one example of many who have remained involved with the club for years. Some of today's members are third-generation. Marshall Schwartz's grandparents took him to the club, and now he takes his grandchildren.
To become a member, one must be sponsored. A good way to accomplish that is by attending public events and getting to know other members. Before members can join any of its figure or synchro skating or hockey programs, one must pass its basic skating tests. Those are based on levels set by the USFA. As such, the club has earned a reputation for teaching people how to skate well and for producing quality skaters.
Its coaches and instructors contribute to that reputation. Ron Radke was a nationally ranked speed skater. Gump Whiteside coached the 2012 U.S. Under-18 Select Team this past summer in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
"It's a place these kids grow up in when they're five- or six-years-old," said Sue Dougherty, a board member who manages the basic skills program. Dougherty joined the club 17 years ago when her five-year-old daughter and her best friend wanted to learn to figure skate. Her daughter later started WSC's girl's hockey team.
Members are lawyers, painters, doctors, teachers, bankers and more. They come from various neighborhoods in the Northwest and nearby, from Oreland, Fort Washington, Blue Bell, the Main Line, Glenside, etc.
"You have all types of people who are all there for the same purpose," said Dougherty.
In 2004, members organized the WSC Golf Classic to raise funds in order to keep up with the substabtial amount of maintenance required to upkeep the building. This year's classic was hosted Oct. 1. Including this year's event, members have netted almost $200,000. The funds have enabled them to make renovations like installing new windows last year, roof and ceiling repairs, dehumidification system, wider front doors and improvements to the rental skate room.
In 2014 they'll celebrate the 50th anniversary of The Merritton Exchange, a game between WSC and the Merritton Bulldogs from Ontario. The club is about members looking out for members interested in creating relationships, learning a skillful sport, whether it is casual skating, figure skating, synchro or hockey, and growing the community of the club.
"What else can I do in the winter if I'm too short to play basketball?" asked Quill rhetorically.

iMessage has been frustrating some people following the iOS 7 software update. Either not sending, not receiving, or just plain not working. We've given you some potential iMessage fixes to try, which might help, at least temporarily. However, a proper fix looks like it's on the way from Apple. The Wall Street Journal:
"We are aware of an issue that affects a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users, and we will have a fix available in an upcoming software update," Apple said in a statement. "In the meantime, we encourage any users having problems to reference our troubleshooting documents or contact AppleCare to help resolve their issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes impacted users."
A fraction of a percent sounds small, but with hundreds of millions of people on iOS 7, even a fraction of a percent is a large number. In our iMessage poll yesterday, roughly 50% of iMore readers claimed to be experiencing problems with iMessage. So, hopefully the fix arrives sooner rather than later.
The advantage of Apple's new over-the-air (OTA) system is that it can deliver small updates more easily. Let's see how well it's put to use.
Meanwhile, if you're a small fraction of a percenter, let me know in comments!

With more than 500,000 apps available in the Apple App Store and more than 450,000 available in the Google Play Store as of March 2012, finding the one app to do just what you need can be quite the challenge. Making things even worse is the sheer number of Angry Birds clones you have to wade through just to find anything business related.
But, the good news is that whether you are looking for a way to keep track of your portfolio or just need a definition for "contango," there's a good chance there's an app for that. As we discussed in "Cutting the cord: Mobile trading 101" (October 2011), the most important thing is to be able to do anything you could do at your desktop. "For most people, mobile trading is supplementary; they are using it when they are on the go," says Paige Miller, director of customer relations at PFGBest.
While we think these are some of the most useful apps for traders, that doesn't mean it is exhaustive, especially with new apps coming on the market every day. Here, in no particular order, are 10 apps every trader at least should check out.

Mag What?
Oh, that's right, "Mag Nasty". Or maybe it should be "Mag Nasty No More".
Tonight I popped open a can of Mag Nasty Begone and before you know it, it was just a nasty memory.
Here it is before I stripped the shellac
This is it after I stripped the shellac.
Not a good picture. The carving was actually more noticeable after the old shellac came off because there was shellac down in the grooves, which remained darker. Perhaps it was only more noticeable to me. It certainly wasn't less noticeable.
I sanded down the entire board. It is the light board just below the balusters on the second flight. The carving was about a 3rd of the way up. The structure made out of the fir 2X4s is scaffolding. As soon as I get these nasty carvings out of the way, that will come down for good. Anything else I can do with a ladder.
After I sanded I applied more oil and Mag Nasty is nasty no more.
I still need to do the other small one, but it is very faint. I did Mag Nasty with the random orbital sander. I'm going to need to make a sanding block for the other one to get in-between the fluted millwork. You can barely see the other carving in the center of the picture, just below Mag Nasty.
If this had not worked I was mentally preparing myself to replace the board. I am soooo glad I won't need to do that!

I don't think that I'm far off the map saying that your choices follow either with the Aluminum or Carbon path. I'm a carbon guy, but that might not necessary suggest that would be best for you. Generally though, the bigger the sail, the more carbon booms make the most sense, particularly when it comes to longevity and stiffness. If you sail in salt water, carbon is the way to go.

Look at the top left of this page for the search button. Click on it. On the resulting page, enter the word boom in the keyword window, then look further down and left and click on the button to Display results as Topics. Now drop one line further down and click on SEARCH.
The results will keep you busy until the weather warms up again.

22 years windsurfing, big guy, 6'4" + 208 lbs. IMHO, anything over 7m needs cambers and a carbon boom. You start stretching an aluminum boom out to 7m or bigger, you're going to have flexibility problems. "Problems" meaning that when you flex a boom outward at the harness lines, it gets shorter end to end. Not rocket science. If your boom gets shorter, your outhaul setting decreases, increasing the draft and giving the sail more power --- right when a gust is hitting you. Bad combo.
Aluminum also gets fatigued fairly easily, so the increased flexibility speeds up the snapping process. I have carbon booms that I've dangled my fatass off of for 12-15 years and more, so it's a good long-term investment. I have several brands, all good, although I really like my Chinook the best.
Seriously, get at least one carbon boom for your larger sails. Buy it so it's shortest setting works on your 6.5 or 7.0, that way it will fit larger sails too. It will
better, too, although that's kind of intangible.

Folks have very good reasons for using carbon that go back 10 to 15 years. Each year new innovations bring alu booms new stiffness and longevity. My monocoque Aeron alums are 8 years old and get 10 months a year wave usage, in salt, never rinsed.
Those who try them are surprised how light and stiff they are.
We sold hundreds of them, sometimes to folks who brought in carbon booms hoping they could be repaired since they cost $500 to $700 and we sold Aeron HPL aluminums for $165.
Pick a Alum monocoque Chinook off the shelf and try to spread the arms, then do the same with a carbon Chinook. This is an inexact test but if there is a reason to pay three times as much, seems like you would feel a little something.
With all due respect I have never never spoken to a client who was sure carbon was worth it because they had a new monocoque in their quiver they were comparing.
Those I speak to who are sure, all seemed to have formed that opinion based on tech from long ago.

You wave sail with a 7.5 much?
Those Aerons look very good, I've considered them myself
in the smaller sizes
, but am sticking with my contention that on big sails (the O.P. was talking about a 7.5), carbon is the way to go.
My 8.2 racing sail has a boom length of 209cm, and I weigh 208 right now. Aluminum boom? Don't think so. If aluminum was really as strong as carbon they wouldn't lay up giant sheets to make fighter jet wings, they'd use less expensive aluminum.
As for being worth it, that's up to the individual sailor. I strongly believe it is, in the larger sizes.
P.S. I noticed that Aeron also makes carbon booms. Why?

Good point. But I would be more interested if you did that test 1 year later, much less 3 or more years later, especially on large sails. I'm guessing that even on small wave sails there will be a difference over time.

To be fair about things, I quit using aluminum booms back in 1992. I broke every one of them over time at the front end or at the connections. For me the final draw was breaking 6 Windsurfing Hawaii aluminum front ends in 1992. After that I started using the older design Gulftech carbon booms that were made in Texas. I loved those booms, but I broke nearly every one because they had aluminum inside the front end component. Over and over again aluminum has proven itself to be so subject to repeated stress and corrosion. While I'm not a big person, I do have this knack for breaking booms. I've even broken a 100% carbon boom too, but it took 5 years to do it. The HPL and Maui Sails carbon booms I have now are holding up very well, and after retrofitting the HPL with the MS front end, it performs better than when I bought it new in 2004. Also, I still have one of the old Gulftech carbon booms with the aluminum in the front end for my two smallest sails. Although it's old, I'm optimistic that it will live forever because it doesn't really see as much use yearly.
However, despite my prejudices, I have to say that keycocker brings up a noteworthy point about the evolution of aluminum booms to the current monocoque designs. I have no doubt that they are now far stiffer overall, particularly when used with smaller sails, and arguably less subject to salt water intrusion through the front end like older style aluminum booms. Yet, when it comes to larger sails, I'm of the view that aluminum still lacks the stiffness, to include its susceptibility to fatigue, to equal carbon. No doubt though, the benefits of carbon come at a steep price. So for someone who is price conscious and traditionally not too tough on booms, the newer monocoque aluminum would be a good choice for smaller sails. Maybe they might even be satisfactory with sails 7.0 and up. I guess we need some added input from those who can make that case.
Lastly, would I ever buy an aluminum boom? Quite honestly, no. I can afford to go the premium route, and I can see no reason to take any chances. It's one of those areas where the motto that "you get what you paid for" rings true to me.

liked the feel of the north oval shaped alu booms, every one(3) exploded unexpectedly after one year of use in salt water from inside corrosion not at all detectable by outside inspection, will never buy alu in any size again.

Happy Holidays all:
After repeated reglassing of a Fiberspar back end, I went on a Chinook Aluminum austerity program.
A middle of the packer, weighing a solid 60# less than PaulF and max out with a 6.0; no regrets.

Unlike Massachusetts, Rhode Island issued paper money and made it legal tender. The first issue of paper money was authorized by an act of the legislature in May. By June, an act was passed that made it illegal to post two prices - one for paper money and the other for hard cash - or to refuse to accept paper money as legal tender. This report states that the state of Rhode Island moved up the date for the payment of a tax from January to November and that interest on foreign and domestic debt would be paid in the new paper money. William Butler began publication of the Hampshire Gazette on September 6, 1786, in Northampton, Massachusetts. The mission of the newspaper was to inform the public about the issues pertaining to the ongoing conflicts. Butler was decidedly on the government side of the issues.

Hey all,
Does anyone have these?
If you don't have them, don't buy them. My sister in law gave these to my kids for Christmas, and they're pretty horrid. There's nothing LEGO about them at all except for a sticker on the front with a picture of studs and a LEGO logo. Otherwise they're just a cheap pair of kids' walkie talkies, that certainly should cost less than the $37 that Amazon is paying for them. If LEGO simply has to produce things like this, why not at least put studs along one side, so kids can personalize them with bricks?

The Quabbin Reservoir straddles the border of Hampshire, Franklin, and Worcester counties of Massachusetts and was created by unincorporating four towns: Dana, Greenwich, Enfield, and Prescott. The towns were prosperous through the early and mid-nineteenth century, relying on agriculture and small water-powered industry. Continued westward expansion and post Civil War industrialization, however, caused a population decrease as young residents left for the city or the west. The accompanying economic decline was further accelerated by the Great Depression. When Boston, Massachusetts, began looking for additional water resources, these Swift River towns were a logical choice to all but local residents. With approximately 2,500 residents in the impacted areas, officials believed this was minimally disruptive in the larger scheme of the state.

July brings the publication of Gallup's annual survey into American drinking habits. And as the French site Winealley.com pointed out (in French), the big question was whether hard times would turn people to drink. Or away from it - for want of dollars with which to buy the bottles. In fact, Gallup's research suggests that 64% of Americans drink alcohol at least occasionally - a figure that is in line with the 62-66% figures recorded over the last decade.
Drinkers are actually knocking back an average of 4.8 alcoholic beverages per week, slightly more than in 2008 but, again, in line with recent findings. This figure reflects the 14% of the survey participants who admitted having drunk eight drinks in the previous week, and the 65% who had limited themselves to just one.
The wine industry will rejoice in the news that their product was the favourite drink of 34% of the respondents - up from 31% in 2008 - compared with 40% who voted for spirits - down from 42% - and the 21% who chose beer - a drop from 23%. Closer analysis, however, reveals that, while wine has seen its popularity rise from 29% in 1992, it had already attained its current figure in late 1999 and in mid 2005 actually hit 39% - overtaking spirits for the one and only time in the survey's history.

I confess total surprise about the complaints by some European and other foreign officials about the restrictions on proprietary trading by American banks embedded in the Dodd-Frank Act – now dubbed the "Volcker" Rule.
It made me think – think all the way back to my years in the US Treasury and Federal Reserve, when the Glass-Steagall Act was in full force. The practical effect was to ban all securities trading by US banks – not just "proprietary" trading, but also "market making" and "underwriting" (except in US government and certain municipal securities). I do not recall – and I am morally certain it never happened – receiving a single complaint that US law was discriminatory, that it damaged other sovereign debt markets or that it limited the ability of foreign governments to access capital markets.
There is a certain irony in what I read. In Europe, there are plans to introduce a financial transaction tax, justified in part by officials because it puts "sand in the wheels" of overly liquid, speculation-prone securities markets. For reasons analogous to those behind the Volcker Rule, the UK is planning to "ring fence" trading and investment banking from retail banking, creating airtight subsidiaries of larger organisations. The commercial banks responsible for what are deemed essential services to the economy will be insulated from all trading and only then will they be protected by the official safety net of access to the central bank, deposit insurance and possible assistance in emergencies.
That approach, as a matter of regulatory philosophy and policy, resembles the seemingly less draconian US restrictions on proprietary trading.
The simple fact is that Dodd-Frank specifically permits both "market making" in response to customer needs and "underwriting". No doubt US banks will, upon request, be happy to provide those services to the UK and other governments. They can continue to purchase foreign sovereign debt for their investment portfolios – should I say à la MF Global? What would be prohibited would be proprietary trading, usually labelled as "speculative". How often have we heard complaints by European governments about speculative trading in their securities, particularly when markets are under pressure?
Is there really a case that proprietary trading is of benefit to the stability of commercial banks, to their risk profile and to their compensation practices and desirably fiduciary culture? I think not, and we need to look no further than Canada for a system in which its large banks have been much less committed to proprietary trading than a few US giants. In any event, there are and should be thousands of hedge funds and other non-bank institutions ready, willing and able to undertake proprietary trading in unrestricted securities in large volumes. The point is that those traders should not have access to the taxpayer support implicit in the safety net of commercial banks.
In addressing liquidity, can it really be of concern that some of the largest banks in Europe, in Japan, in China and indeed in Canada cannot maintain effective markets in their own sovereign debt? US chartered commercial banks could remain participants "making markets" for their customers wherever they are.
Let's get serious.
National regulatory (and at least as important, accounting and auditing) authorities should, to the extent that it is practical, seek common understanding and common approaches. In the past, I participated in that process, helping to initiate the effort to achieve common capital standards for banks. I am today encouraged by efforts under way by the US, British and other authorities to reach the needed degree of consensus with respect to resolution authority – in plain English how practically to end the "too big to fail" syndrome. This is really complex. The major banks are international and managing their orderly merger or liquidation will necessarily involve co-operation among jurisdictions. That is a key challenge, arguably the most important one for banking reform. It needs to be dealt with.
Meanwhile, let us not be swayed by the smokescreen of lobbyists dedicated to protecting the interests of some highly compensated traders and their risk-prone banks.
US regulators are now considering what adjustments should be made in their preliminary rules with respect to market making and proprietary trading, while hopefully reducing the inevitable complications imposed by the very complexity of modern finance. I regret that the effect, if not the intent, of much of the lobbying has been to add complications rather than to clarify the principles involved. As with any new regulation, there will be, with experience, opportunities to deal with unnecessary frictions or unintended consequences. But I certainly take comfort with the stated confidence of the authorities that the rule adopted will be both workable and effective.

This is an update from a previous post on Gutsy.
Sync-ing the Palm LifeDrive requires less work than previously reported, and this is a fresh Ubuntu install on a new computer.
Just run
sudo modprobe visor (you can add the visor module at the end of
/etc/modules to make it permanent) and run the wisard:
Then choose the following settings for gPilotD sync:
The sync should go when hitting the button on the LifeDrive cradle.
Mounting the drive still does not work..
Edit 090225: The mount bug seems solved with Jaunty. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm. My Palm Lifedrive died a month ago, after 4 years of daily use.

For world football's governing body, arranging major tournaments like the FIFA World Cup™ is just the tip of the iceberg. Away from the spotlight, FIFA works hard all year round on developing the game across the world. From youth and women's football to futsal and beach soccer, all possible variations of the planet's most popular sport remain at the core of FIFA's programmes. In order to highlight the importance of this work, FIFA.com regularly solicits the opinions of well-known football figures involved in development.
A club and national team coach with a nomadic career path, Philippe Troussier has passed on his football knowhow all over the world. Accustomed to taking on unfamiliar challenges, he has enjoyed considerable success with modest, low-profile teams, particularly in Africa and Japan. The French-born globetrotter, currently at the helm of Chinese outfit Shenzen Ruby, talked to FIFA.com about football development.
*FIFA.com: Tell us a little bit about how you got started as an educator and a coach. Philippe Troussier: *In my day, the media wasn't as ever-present as it is now. I kept up-to-date with football by reading the sporting press, mainly. From very early on, I dreamed of becoming a professional player. But you can take many different roads to achieve your aims, so at 28 years of age, I put a stop to my playing days in Ligue 2 and opted for a coaching career. As I was disciplined and a good listener, I resumed my physical education studies and obtained my coaching licences. My first job was in the fourth division in France, with Alencon, and I had to put up with all the hassles related to amateur football that came with it. After that, I packed my bags for Africa. The person who gave me the strength to become a coach and to strive to improve my technical skills and tactics, no matter what level I was working at, was Arrigo Sacchi.
What is your opinion of the current state of football development, an area in which FIFA is heavily involved?
Football is divided into two parts: the professional elite and the grassroots. Development should incorporate all areas of football, from top to bottom. I know that FIFA makes a significant contribution on a daily basis towards developing professional and amateur football, which are two complementary spheres, in fact. One cannot exist without the other.
*Personally speaking, how do you contribute to grassroots football? *I devote time to grassroots football every day, and whenever I'm asked to. It's a real pleasure to work with really young players. When you go into coaching, there are some steps that you take that are absolutely fundamental, and grassroots football is an integral part of that. You need experts for each different category; that's essential, because each time period is unique. These different developmental stages should be taken extremely seriously, because we need to pass on information to young players that's relevant to their progress. It's a time in their lives where we have to get it right; I really must stress that point.
The game is more precise, it calls for an increased level of participation, and it's less physical; that's why its appeal continues to grow.
*How do you feel about the development of women's football? *It's a good thing, of course. Football is obviously a sport that concerns women too, even if that idea might not please certain people. The level of play is constantly improving. It's difficult to compare men's and women's football, but the important thing is that fans are entertained. Playing conditions as well as enhanced refereeing have contributed in a big way towards the emergence of women's football. The game is more precise, it calls for an increased level of participation, and it's less physical; that's why its appeal continues to grow.
You've coached the national sides of Côte d'Ivoire, South Africa, Morocco, Nigeria and Burkina Faso. What is your connection with football in Africa and what hurdles did you have to overcome during your time there?
Africa is the continent where you feel like you might come across an incredible player in the street somewhere, kicking around a ball of rags or a tin can. In my opinion, it's where you find the heart of the game. That kind of football represents a large part of life as an educator. In Africa, the main problems are basically organisational. The result is a lack of energy, and unfortunately it's the performances that suffer. For example, African players competing in European leagues, in very structured clubs that enforce strict discipline, find themselves completely disoriented when they return to their homeland, where things are less stringent. There's a real lack of infrastructure, experience and proper training for coaches. All that said, the continent is still making progress. It's important to underline the work that FIFA has been doing via its training courses and Goal projects, thanks to which football has made giant strides within numerous football associations in Africa.
*As far as the approach to football is concerned, what are the main differences between Africa, Europe and Asia? *Football is a very individual thing in Africa, but a bit less so in Europe. The notion of playing together as a team is not as prevalent in Africa. If you take the example of the Japanese, where you could argue that the idea of playing as a team has gone the other way, their vision of the game is also quite different. Just a hundred or so players could perhaps aspire to play for the national team, as opposed to some European countries that paradoxically bring through hundreds of players capable of performing at the highest level. The mindset changes according to the country.
*What memories do you have of the 2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan™, where you steered Japan to the Round of 16? *I feel as if I brought a project to fruition that began back in 1998. At the time, I was in charge of the U-20 side that reached the final of the U-20 World Cup in 1999, which we lost to a Spain team that included players like Xavi. I was also coach of the Olympic team that finished fifth at Sydney 2000. All in all, it's a collaborative effort that involves various youth categories and the senior team, of course. We weren't just successful by chance. When you compare it to today, where 80 per cent of Japan's national side play abroad, in 2002 we just had one player who was doing it on a big stage, in Italy.
Africa is the continent where you feel like you might come across an incredible player in the street somewhere, kicking around a ball of rags or a tin can.
*Japan recently pulled off a memorable 1-0 friendly victory over France at the Stade de France. Did the result surprise you? *We should probably point out that France fielded an experimental side, and had an important competitive match against Spain coming up. That said, it's also crucial to mention that the Japanese FA instilled the concept of grassroots football in schools very early on. Youth development is essential in Japan, and it is effective, stable and rigorous. The current results being achieved by the Japanese are not in the least bit surprising. In terms of development and training, I would actually classify Japan in the top three countries in the world. Consequently, it's not a surprise to see how well they've been doing.
*You're presently working with Shenzhen Ruby in China. What kind of impact has football had in that region of the world? *It's a rather underdeveloped football region compared to the north of China. I have more of a management role within the club. Football exists, but it's only really just at the top level. Youth teams are practically non-existent. The arrival of stars like Didier Drogba and Nicolas Anelka has stirred up people's interest, but overall football still has a lot of work to do. With one and a half billion people, it's possible to foresee long-term development. In addition, FIFA has just recently started to undertake work in the region through grassroots projects aimed at the very young.
*The 2012 FIFA Futsal World Cup has just concluded. The sport has enjoyed considerable success in Asia, but how would you explain such levels of enthusiasm? *In those countries, the demand for an outright winner in football is much higher. In Japan, for example, there was a time when draws weren't allowed. Teams are never happy with a draw – for them, the approach is always to simply score more goals than your opponents. Futsal, therefore, fits the bill perfectly, as it is spectacular, fast and full of goals; hence its popularity. In my opinion, traditional football as it's played in Europe has almost become the sole domain of 'experts'. Inside every fan, there's a player, coach or TV analyst fighting to get out, while futsal attracts crowds of people who may not have as much knowledge, but just can't wait to see an avalanche of goals.

It's Ratchet & Clank's 10 year anniversary. Did you know that? No? Well that goes to show you all the problems that Ratchet and Clank have been facing over these past few years.
The iconic pseudo-mascot duo has fallen out of the public spotlight, and hard. In an age where everyone Is looking for the next big shooter, fighter, or action game, mascot-based platformers are overlooked by the majority of the gaming populace unless they star Mario or Sonic. So Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault isn't a joyous birthday bash that celebrates everything the duo has done these past ten years; it's a low-key party at the nerdy kid's house down the street, interesting and quite possibly fun if only anyone cared enough to show up.
Where do two titans of PS2 mascothood go in the modern day of PS3 gaming? To the tower defense genre, apparently. Now, tower defense is great within an RTS context and as an iOS time waster. However, it's just not what fans truly want from Ratchet & Clank, a franchise that has always sold itself on cartoony action and ludicrous weapons of all shapes and sizes.
So here's the setup: Ratchet and Clank have been drafted by Captain Qwark to play intergalactic repairmen. They must travel around the galaxy, repairing planetary defense centers as members of the heroic Q-Force. Unless these automated defenses come back online, the evil Zurgo will be free to wreck stuff, or something.
And that's just about all the plot has to give us. Granted, Ratchet and Clank games aren't exactly known for their stunning storytelling, so this shouldn't really surprise anyone. The story is really just a setup for the numerous jokes and references the game will throw at you. It's very self-aware, referencing previous titles as well as cracking wise about things only longtime lovers of the series will recognize. Unfortunately, it's hard to shake the feeling that Full Frontal Assault is just shallower than other entries in the series were. It doesn't interfere with your enjoyment of the game too much, but you'll be hard-pressed to remember what the heck this game was about once you put it down.
Every level of Full Frontal Assault is a maze with a mass of generators on one end. Enemies will periodically spawn and start marching toward the generator, and it's your job to make sure that the enemies never get there.
You have two ways to combat the enemies. You can either go about it old school Ratchet & Clank style and combat them with your own ludicrous arsenal of cartoony weapons, or you can build a variety of turrets, barriers, mines, and other defenses that you can place at fixed points throughout the map. However, it's not good enough just to survive. Your eventual goal is to take out enemy encampments and activate nodes that will allow you to re-activate the aforementioned planetary defense systems. So once you have your defenses set up, you need to take the battle to the enemy.
At the beginning of each map, all you have is your trusty wrench and a wide-open space in which you'll start planning the slaughter. Unfortunately, this means that a good portion of every level is actually just a resource grid where you'll be seeking out nuts, bolts, and weapon pods in order to arm yourself and set up your automated defenses. In the beginning, a lot of these tasks can be accomplished by simply heading out to where the enemy is and beating the crap out of them, picking up whatever items you find along the way.
However, as the game goes on and the enemy routes get more complex, protecting your base becomes more and more of a chore. In fact, you'll find yourself frequently abandoning a location you were just fortifying to head back to your base and protect it from enemies that have slipped through your defenses, only to find that enemies have destroyed the fortifications you were working on by the time you get back.
Tower defense games were originally created with a top-down RTS-style view in mind. If a couple of the enemy units managed to bust through your defenses and get to your base, you were only a few clicks away from being back in your base and handling it. Full Frontal Assault, on the other hand, takes place in the traditional behind-the-back action view that we are used to from other Ratchet & Clank games. That means that simply getting back to your base can be daunting at times. You can easily get lose in some of the bigger maps, going the wrong way as enemies continue their trek toward your generators.

Last weekend, Martin Miller's Gin hosted a gin mixers' competition at Death & Co. in New York. Bartenders from the UK and the US battled to impress a distinguished panel of judges. Although invited to attend, I was unable to do so, having made previous plans to adopt a kitten this weekend. Yes, that's right, a kitten, smartass.
I was able, though, to join Miller co-founder David Bromige and his posse at Milk & Honey on Friday evening. As surprising as this may seem, this was my first visit to M&H, and I'm grateful to Miller's PR man, James Monahan, for the invitation.
First, let me describe Milk & Honey, for those who've never been. Getting in is not easy; you need the unpublished number, and you need to reserve in advance. M&H founder Sasha Petraske wants to keep the vibe intimate, the bar uncrowded, and the sidewalk outside the bar uncluttered by chattering fools. If you've ever been inside or outside a crowded New York bar on a weekend night, you can see the advantage to his approach.
Nothing outside the bar announces that it's a bar. Well, almost nothing. There's a red metal pail hanging from a hook, filled with sand and cigarette butts. The letters "M &" are on the door, the H having disappeared by the time of my visit. The bar is inside a storefront that at one point was apparently a tailor's shop. (Incidentally, I'd love to know the pre-M&H history of the space. If anyone knows, e-mail me–adashofbitters at gmail dot com–or comment here.)
The bar has six tables (banquettes), plus bar stools and a bit of standing room. The tight control at the door means you never have to push through a crowd to move through the bar. Nothing irritates me so much as having to make people physically move so I can reach the bar, the loo, or the exit. M&H has no cocktail menu but will match a drink to your taste. Our table ordered a batch of Miller's-based gin drinks–two Last Words, a Ramos Gin Fizz for Mr. Bromige, and a Negroni for me. (The best Negroni I've had. I wonder what vermouth they used.)
David Bromige is a wonderful drinking companion. He briefly related the history of his spirit, and how he, Martin Miller, and Andreas Versteegh came up with the formula, after many, many rounds of testing. He described the gin as a vanity project, one that they enjoyed so well they eventually chose to market it.
He described Miller's distillation process: the botanicals are steeped in grain alcohol for 24 hours before distilling. Actually, the botanicals are steeped in batches. One batch, in one still, contains juniper, iris, cassia, licorice, coriander, angelica, orris, and nutmeg; the other batch contains citrus peels. This brings a layered, nuanced flavor to the final product. They then ship the distillate to Iceland, where it's cut with glacial water, bottled, and shipped to its destination.
Iceland provides another advantage than just the water–it's midway between Miller's two main markets, Europe and the United States. This cuts the cost of shipping the gin to the U.S.
Jeffrey Morgenthaler has an extensive series of posts with more details and photos of the process, beginning here. Morgenthaler was a guest of the people of Miller's Gin, who flew him over to convince his skeptical mind that the Icelandic water actually does matter to the flavor of the gin.
Anyway, we finished up at M&H and moved on to Sasha Petraske's newest place, White Star Bar. Although White Star specializes in absinthe, this didn't feel like the night to expand my mind; I've only tried three or four products in the absinthe category. Instead, I tried something off the well-curated cocktail menu–the American Trilogy, a mix of rye whiskey, applejack, and orange bitters.
I also got to chat, albeit very briefly, with Jamie Boudreau and Paul Clarke, both of whom were in town to participate in the competition. Boudreau was there to dazzle the judges with his gleaming white smile, and Paul was along to snap his fellow judges out of Jamie's spell. "Don't fall for his charm! It's a trap!"
But our visit was altogether too short because everyone else was off to Employees Only bar for a late-night nosh and more drinks. I, on the other hand, didn't want to barge in on my crash-pad host at 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 am, and I had a busy Saturday planned, adopting the aforementioned kitten with Mrs. Bitters.
I'll post again soon on results from the competition, plus a couple of images that James e-mailed, and maybe a couple more jokes at Paul Clarke's expense.

You will be amazed by how quick and easy it is to apply your Flash Tattoo with the help of a little water.
Step 1: Clean and dry skin. You want to make sure your skin is clean, dry and free of any oils or the tattoo will not adhere. If you have lotion or any products on (even from hours earlier), use a little soap and water or a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol to clean the area.
Step 2: Remove the protective clear sheet from the tattoo. For best application, ask a friend to help position your Flash Tattoo so your skin does not twist or stretch.
Step 3: Place the tattoo face down on your skin and hold a wet cloth against it for about 30 seconds. Peel the paper aside then pat gently with the wet cloth. Tada! Be sure not to twist or stretch skin until the tattoo has had time to set (at least 20 minutes). Flash Tattoos look best after they have had an hour or two to set into the skin.
Remember to keep oil-based lotions, sunscreens, body wash, perfumes, etc. off your tats! For more tips and tricks to apply and maintain your Flash Tattoos, visit the general section of our Frequently Asked Questions page. Shine on!

Until recently, July and August in Croatia belonged to German and Italian tourists, who clogged border crossings in their annual "migration" to the country's endless beaches and clear blue sea. Today, the rest of the world has discovered Croatia's charms: its wealth of Roman ruins, medieval hilltop castles, and staggering cache of natural wonders. Even though the summer crowd is now larger and more diverse and tourism is one of the country's biggest sources of income, it still is possible to find a secluded cove or patch of beach where it seems you're the only person on Earth. When all the name-brand hotels are filled, there is always a room with personality waiting in a private home where the landlord welcomes you like a long-lost friend.
Every town and village has at least one restaurant where the locals hang out and where the slice of life you get with your meal is the best dessert there is. In Croatia, each building has a story that adds another facet to this gem of a country.

I haven't seen Dark Shadows yet. The latest gothic film from director Tim Burton has been met with mixed reviews, scoring a Rotten 48%. Indeed, all I know about the movie so far is that it looks very much like a Tim Burton movie - a sort of live-action Corpse Bride - and it has predictable casting.
Honestly, the easiest and least-rewarding job in the world must be Casting Director for Tim Burton projects.
Who will star as the male lead? Johnny Depp. Who will star as a primary female character (if not the female lead)? Helena Bonham Carter.
How will these two stars act in the film? Hopefully a tiny bit weirder than in their last appearance.
It really doesn't matter if we're talking about Sweeney Todd or Alice in Wonderland. It doesn't matter if the film is animated or live-action. It doesn't matter if it's geared toward adults or children. These days, if you go see a Tim Burton movie you are in effect going to watch Johnny and Helena do their weird thing, probably in outlandish costumes.
This is especially grating when it comes to Johnny Depp. I first saw Depp in the fantastic comedy Benny & Joon. Shortly afterward I saw him in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and of course, the rest is history. Depp has starred in countless films, and many of his roles have become instant classics. Nobody does weird better than Johnny Depp...except perhaps Helena Bonham Carter.
Even Depp's non-Burton roles are weird. Also-very-peculiar director Terry Gilliam cast Depp in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Depp's Hunter S. Thompson performance was fantastic. His wonderful Jack Sparrow brought the weird home to more mainstream audiences in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise (of which I've only seen the first two films.) I wasn't a fan of Depp's Willy Wonka, but it sure was strange.
So I appreciate the fact that Depp probably enjoys this sort of bizarre character and finds fulfillment in playing them in one way or another across most of his acting roles. But a part of me misses his more subtle performances in films like Benny & Joon. And Tim Burton isn't helping matters by casting him in every picture.
Nor is Tim Burton helping Tim Burton. Certainly Burton has a flare for the outlandish, but at some point no matter how weird or colorful or macabre his films are, they've also started to feel weighted-down by their insistence on doing it over and over again. What would be truly odd and satisfying, I think, would be to see Burton try his hand at something actually new. Sweeney Todd moved somewhat in that direction. It was a musical at least, based on a famous Tony-award winning Broadway show.
If you go all the way back to 2003 there's Big Fish which had Helena Bonham Carter, but no Johnny Depp.
I guess it just feels as though Burton is trying too hard to be weird. The aesthetic is wearing thin. It feels lazy, and not just because of the repetitive casting.
I understand that some directors enjoy using the same actors over and over again. We've seen this with Quentin Tarantino, for instance. Harvey Keitel must thank his lucky stars every morning that Tarantino got into the film business. But then again, I have a few of the same complaints for Tarantino when I stop and think about it. Same for Wes Anderson and his fascination with the Wilson brothers. Many directors do this to one degree or another.
But still.
I don't necessarily just want to be surprised-in-a-good-way by a film. There are many things about a film that can please and delight. But at this point I do want to be surprised by Tim Burton. I want him to step out from his own shadow, and the long shadows cast by his leading man and leading lady. Yes he can certainly rest on his laurels and do anything he pleases with his films, of course. He'd likely be just fine never making another picture again.
Still, for all my many gripes about Burton's films, I do think he has talent and I do think that this talent deserves more than the regurgitated work we've seen come from Burton in the last decade or so.

The 2012 prep football season continues this week for three local teams, each who have qualified for the CIF Southern Section playoffs.
Sunset League champion Edison and Huntington Beach play first-round Southwest Division games at 7 p.m. Friday . Brethren Christian starts East Valley Division postseason play at 1 p.m. Saturday .
Friday games
Esperanza (6-4) vs. Edison (9-1)
(7 p.m., Orange Coast College)
Edison heads into postseason play as the No. 1 seed in the Southwest Division. The Chargers also put their six-game win streak up against the Aztecs.
"We're excited for the playoffs," Edison Coach Dave White said. "Getting the top seed is a reward for what we've done the first 10 weeks of the season. It's nice, but we have to win four more games before we can end up No. 1."
Esperanza, a one-time rival of Edison's in the Sunset League before departing two years ago to align with the Century League, received an at-large bid. The Aztecs finished in a tie with El Dorado and Brea Olinda for third place. They ended the regular season with a 44-34 loss last Friday to Century League champ Villa Park (9-1), a team whose only loss came to Edison in September.
"It'll be like old times," White said of facing the Aztecs. "They are a well-coached team and their tailback is really good. They always play hard-nosed football."
That running back is Troy Poole who is the Aztecs' leading rusher with more than 1,300 yards with a team-high 10 touchdowns. The senior ran for 159 yards and two scores in last week's loss to Villa Park.
Edison showed great balance on offense during the regular season. The Chargers average 184 yards passing and 161 yards rushing, and put up an average of 29 points per game in their first 10 games.
The defense, with a school-record five shutouts to its credit, is limiting opponents to an average of just four points a game.
The Chargers could be missing an explosive element of their offense Friday. Senior Marquis Ross, the team's No. 1 tailback, was injured early in the second quarter last Friday against Huntington and didn't play during the second half of the Chargers' 34-0 victory. White said that Ross, who is the team's rushing leader with 714 yards and eight touchdowns, is "probably out" for the first-round game.
Seniors Donald Rice (367 yards, eight TDs) and Elijah Herrera (310 yards, two TDs) are two other weapons in Edison's backfield rotation. Herrera, who had an interception on defense that set up one Edison score, came on to rush for 58 yards on nine carries in Ross' absence against Huntington.
Quarterback Aleksander Torgersen has thrown for 1,605 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions in 10 games.
Huntington Beach (5-5) at Capistrano Valley (8-2)
(7 p.m., Capistrano Valley High)
Huntington hits the road for its first-round Southwest Division game for a matchup with Capistrano Valley.
The Oilers are the No. 3 team from the Sunset League. They were in contention for a share of the league title but dropped their season finale, 34-0, last Friday to Edison.
Capo Valley is co-champion with Dana Hills of the Sea View League and is returning to the playoffs for the first time in 16 years. Last week, the Cougars came up big in the second half and pulled away to a 62-27 victory over Aliso Niguel. The Cougars withstood a 405-yards passing performance by Aliso Niguel quarterback Nathan Cole, to get the win.
Capo Valley senior quarterback Mason Dossey has thrown for 2,226 yards. His favorite targets are Cole Robinson (782 yards)and Michael Mullen (518 yards).
One of the Cougars' two losses came in nonleague play to Esperanza.
"It's a good draw for us," Huntington Coach Eric Lo said of his team's first-round date. "I think we match up pretty well with them. I've seen them twice on film, but not in person. They have a really good quarterback and a very athletic receiver [Robinson]. They're a solid team."
Junior quarterback Kai Ross spearheads the Huntington offense. Ross is the team leader in rushing yards (695, eight TDs) and passing yards (1,211, 15 TDs), and, as a cornerback, is one of the team leaders in tackles. Senior running back Bo Breunig has rushed for 515 yards with two scores, and senior Marco Valenzuela is tops in receiving yards with 406 with four touchdowns.
Brethren Christian (6-4) at Big Bear (8-2)
(1 p.m., Big Bear Middle School)
Brethren Christian returns to East Valley Division postseason play for the second time under head coach Pat McInally.
Both BC and Big Bear finished second in their respective leagues. BC took the runner-up spot in the Academy League last Friday by winning, 21-7, at Crean Lutheran in a game that determined second place. Record-setting junior quarterback Jack McInally has thrown for 2,093 yards and 31 touchdowns. Junior Austin Gorrell is BC's leading receiver with 707 yards and eight touchdowns.
Big Bear finished second to Twentynine Palms in the De Anza League. The Bears opened the season with five wins, lost two straight, then closed out the season with three straight wins. They have scored 41 or more points in six of their 10 games and last week scored a season-high 63, in a 63-14 win against Desert Mirage.
Collectively, the Bears have amassed 3,303 yards and 49 touchdowns on the ground. Senior Lucas Jenkins leads the rush attack with 862 yards. Senior John Hawkins (667) and junior Taylan Seaman (644) both are approaching the 700-yards mark.
"Our defense has played very well the past few weeks," BC Coach Pat McInally said. "If we can stop [Big Bear's] dive game, their run game, and be more balanced ourselves on offense, then we'll be right there. Big Bear's a very good, very physical team."
Postseason schedule
The CIF Southern Section football playoffs continue with quarterfinal games on Nov. 16. Division semifinals are Nov. 23. The Southwest Division championship game is at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 30 at Angel Stadium. The East Valley Division title game is also Nov. 30 with the game time and site to be determined.
The CIF State Bowl Championships (Divisions I, II, III, Small Schools) are Dec. 14-15 at The Home Depot Center in Carson.

Here is a personal tribute to "the father of modern yoga" Sri Tirumalai Krishnamacharya (1888–1989), written by one of his longtime disciples. Krishnamacharya was a renowned Indian yoga master, Ayurvedic healer, and scholar who modernized yoga practice and whose students—including B. K. S. Iyengar, K. Pattabhi Jois, T. K. V. Desikachar, and Indra Devi—dramatically popularized yoga in the West.
In this book, the author, A. G. Mohan, a well-respected yoga teacher and yoga therapist, draws on his own memories and Krishnamacharya's diaries and recorded material, to present a fascinating view of the man and his teachings, and Mohan's own warm and inspiring relationship with the master. This portrait of the great teacher will be a compelling and informative read for yoga teachers and students who truly want to understand the source of their tradition and practice.
"Preserving and passing on the teachings and traditions of his teacher, T. Krishnamacharya, was my grandfather's life work. This book explains the legacy, and gives a better understanding into the life and work of a great master." —Sharath Rangaswamy, grandson of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois
"Krishnamacharya is absolutely delightful. It gives us an intimate window into the devotion, intensity, and clarity of the true source of modern yoga, Sri Krishnamacharya. A. G. Mohan gives us urgently needed lessons on the inner subtlety and depth of yoga." —Richard Freeman, author of The Mirror of Yoga
"A. G. Mohan's book about the life and teachings of Krishnamacharya is an important link in the chain of yogic knowledge, handed down from past to present via teacher to student. We gain double benefit with Mohan's book. We not only benefit from greater insight into the teachings of Krishnamacharya but we also experience the wisdom of A. G. Mohan as well." —David Swenson, author of Ashtanga Yoga: The Practice Manual
"Very few students actually stayed with Krishnamacharya to study and carefully practice what he was offering; A. G. Mohan is one who did. Read this book because it is a fascinating window into a deeply personal relationship in the age old practice of yoga transmission and learning." —Mark Whitwell, author of Yoga of Heart
"This book is a great addition to the growing number of books documenting the history of modern yoga, and is a must read for the serious yoga practitioner." —YogaBasics.com

Nelly Furtado Reveals 'The Spirit Indestructible' Covers
Nelly Furtado has generously shared both the standard and deluxe edition covers for her forthcoming album 'The Spirit Indestructible,' featuring her new single 'Big Hoops (Bigger the Better.)'
The album drops on June 19 and the deluxe version will have 18 songs. That's a whole lotta Nelly that uber fans will surely gobble up.
The covers are similar, with some subtle differences in size and style. The standard version, which is on the left above, features Furtado's profile against a pink background and her name in logo form. She's looking straight ahead and squinting a bit, or maybe she's just in a relaxed state and her eyes are narrowed. Her expression gives off a calm energy and serenity.
Her hair is slicked back into a braid that falls down her back and she is wearing a high-collared shirt, giving her an exotic look.
The deluxe edition, which is on the right above, is cut differently on the borders, with white edging. It features the same profile shot. Here, Nelly is bigger, the logo is smaller. The bigger, the better, just like the 'Hoops,' right?
The covers are artsy and unique, like Nelly herself. We can't wait to hear the rest of the record.
