The hits just keep coming with Seattle starting pitchers.
Carlos Silva, who was supposed to start Saturday against the Blue Jays, now won't pitch until Tuesday against the Rangers, if then. The Mariners are moving R.A. Dickey up to start Saturday; he'd been scheduled to start Monday in Texas.
That moves Felix Hernandez up to the Monday start, which keeps him right on schedule with the Mariners having had a day off Thursday.
Silva, who came out of his last start with back pain, experienced more back problems during the four-hour flight from Seattle to Toronto Wednesday. He said he could pitch, but he wasn't convincing enough to prevent manager Jim Riggleman from skipping him.
None of Seattle's regular starters has dodged injury problems this year. Erik Bedard is sill on the disabled list with shoulder problems, and he's had leg and back problems, too. Frida night's starter, Miguel Batista, has had back and leg issues. Hernandez is just getting over calf pain. Jarrod Washburn has had back pain, too.
What that's meant more than anything is that Dickey, the knuckleballer who has not been injured, continues to get turns in the rotation. How long that will last, no one can say, but Bedard isn't coming back until at least some time in August.
Meanwhile, Ryan Rowland-Smith, who is being groomed as a starter after having been in the Seattle bullpen for most of the year, makes his first start for Tacoma at Nashville this evening.

Coming off Thanksgiving, a holiday that many people abbreviate to "T-Day," of course makes me think of T-shirts….and how EVERY DAY is Tee Day! So, move over scratchy holiday sweater. Here's a simple, no-sew holiday T-shirt (ahem, tree-shirt) that I designed as part of Homemade Holiday 101 (#homemade101). It combines techniques from the Brokenhearted tee in Generation T (project #2) and Back in Action tee in Generation T: Beyond Fashion (project #101).
(OH, and…CLICK THROUGH TO HOMEMADE HOLIDAY 101 where the Generation T and Generation T: Beyond Fashion ebooks are on sale for $2.99 for a limited time!)
-Red fitted T-shirt (mine has a small percentage Lycra)
-Green fitted tank top (or similar, to layer underneath)
-Disappearing ink fabric marker or fabric chalk marker
-Ruler/ straightedge
-Fabric scissors
-Safety pin or 1″ round pin
Make it:
1. Turn the T-shirt inside out and, using the straightedge, draw an isosceles triangle with a small rectangle at the bottom (aka, a simplified evergreen tree shape). My tree is about 7″ across at its widest.
2. Use the straightedge again to mark horizontal lines from the base of the tree to the top, about 1/2″ to 3/4″ apart.
3. Cut along the horizontal lines only, making sure to cut through only the top layer of the shirt.
4. Cut all the way to the top, making a small snip (about 1/4″) at the peak of the tree. Tug gently at the sides of your T-shirt to stretch out the strips (so they curl a little).
5. Turn the T-shirt right side out, and layer the green tank top underneath so you can see the shape of the tree clearly. You can stop right here and have a terrific-looking slashed tee, but forge on for another minute to get the woven effect: Take the first two strips at the trunk of your tree and loop strip #2 under strip #1. Drop strip #1. Then loop strip #3 under strip #2, dropping strip #2. And so on…
6. …to the top! Safety pin the second-to-last loop through the top snip. Tuck the safety pin inside so it shows less, or embrace the shiny bit of sparkle. Or, for a little more flair, trim your tree with a personalized 1″ round pin (replacing the safety pin).
7. Try it on. Then….Go sing carols! Bake cookies! Replace the safety pin at the top with a sparkly brooch so you have a shining star up on the highest bow!

The 50 Funniest People Now
34. Michael Ian Black
The persistence of folks from MTV's Nineties sketch show The State is one of the nicer bonuses of the 21st century. Former Stater Michael Ian Black – whose sly, vaguely douchey on-stage persona apparently translates quite well to other media – has taken to that other recent phenom, Twitter, like the proverbial lobster to melted butter, weighing in on such issues as Lance Armstrong: ("If Oprah's smart, she'll have James Frey come out and give Lance a hug"), the President ("³Did anybody else notice a disturbing lack of Mummenschanz at the Inauguration?") and near-Zen koans ("Somewhere out there, somebody is excited about starting clarinet lessons soon.") Now can we get a feed from LeVon and Barry?

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher credited most of quarterback Vince Young's struggles in the first half of Friday night's 27-24 preseason victory at New England to a number of factors, but not Young being inactive the week before for a curfew violation.
Young completed just 5 of 17 passes for 102 yards and was sacked four times. Those numbers would have been worse had an outlet pass to tight end Bo Scaife not been turned into a 44-yard gain.
"I don't think that has anything to do with it," Fisher said of Young missing the preseason opener against Washington last week. "He's played his share of games, regular season games and he's having a good camp."
Fisher alluded to the rain in Foxboro, Mass., as well as the Patriots using elaborate schemes considering it was a preseason game.
"I think it was just a combination of things. It was the weather, the surface, the people in his face," Fisher said. "The approach the Patriots took defensively was a unique approach. They brought people [to pressure] almost every down from different places, dropped different people out in coverage. Again, we went into this game with a very basic game plan and we had not put ourselves in a position to try to take advantage of those things."
Young was not happy with his performance, even though the Titans rallied to win in the second half with backups for both teams playing.
As for what positives he took from the game, Young said, "Nothing at all right now. As for myself, [there are] different things out there I think I could've done better. Overall, the game is going to come to me. It's going to get better and better, just like last year. I'm all right."
INJURIES: Backup fullback Jonathan Evans suffered a sprained ankle in the game and could miss some time, according to Fisher. Also, tight end Cooper Wallace will miss a few days because of a knee sprain.
Fisher also indicated that several Titans players who missed Friday night's game could return to practice this week, including LenDale White (ankle), Reynaldo Hill (groin), Mike Otto (knee) and Jamie Petrowski (legs). Tight end Ben Troupe, sidelined for nearly two weeks with a foot sprain, could return as well. Troupe's previous foot problems have the Titans exercising care in that regard.
NO SWITCH: Michael Griffin's two interceptions in Friday night's game has Fisher staving off any talk of Griffin moving to free safety anytime soon.
Griffin, the team's first-round pick, is making the move from college safety to NFL cornerback. Also, Friday night incumbent free safety Lamont Thompson had an interception as well, and Fisher said that Calvin Lowry, who started against the Pats, played well also.
"There is going to be a need to play more than just four defensive backs," Fisher said. "There always is the nickel packages. We are just happy right now with the depth. We are half way through the preseason games, and we still have some decisions to make, but I am confident that the games will help sort those out for us.
"He had two interceptions at the corner spot. One was a very, very good play. He's made a lot of plays out there. He's getting better. So I have not considered moving him to a different position at this point."
Fisher said it is possible Griffin could get a first-team look at cornerback in the preseason.
OOPS: Running back Chris Henry, who started in place of the injured White, had a missed blocking assignment that caused Young to take a hard hit from safety Rodney Harrison in the game. Henry rushed for 15 yards on eight carries.
"It was a tough read, but he did miss it, however. He had to do a read and he stepped up and just lost track of Rodney," Fisher said.

The Network and Sharing Center (Click Start Button, Control Panel, Network and Internet, Network and Sharing Center) is the area in Vista that allows users to configure how and what the computer connects to and what is and is not shared. The menu shows several things: the current computer's network setup, the sharing and discovery feature status and tasks that can be accomplished.

Tasks (for the Network)

With Windows you can do the following:

 View Computers and Devices – currently on the network

 Connect to a Network – disconnect or connect to another network

 Manage Wireless Networks – how and in what order Windows tries to connect to a network

 Set Up a Connection or Network – using a Windows wizard to walk you through the setup process

 Manage Network Connections – a view of all current network connections and their status

 Diagnose and Repair (network connections) – a tool that scans the network, looks for problems and offer suggestions for repairing a connection.

Sharing and Discovery

This part of the center allows users to turn on and off specific sharing features. These features include:

 Network Discovery - whether your computer can see other computers and devices on the network and if other computers can see your PC.

 File Sharing – to enable or disable all file sharing

 Public Folder Sharing – to enable or disable specific types of public file sharing (using the Public Folder)

 Printer Sharing – to turn on and off sharing of local printers connected to this computer

 Password Protected Sharing – to turn on and off password protected sharing of files, printers, and the Public Folder

 Media Sharing – to turn on and off access to media files (music, pictures, videos) on this computer by other people on the network

Options for File and Print Sharing

Share a specific folder: To set up file and printer sharing for your Vista computer, read the step by step process titled "How to Setup Sharing Files and Printers on a Vista Computer."

Share the Public Folder: If you are interested in sharing files only once in a while, you can use the Public Folder - setting this up is even quicker than this process.

I'm going to speak tonight and share some ideas with the Pgh Public School Board about politics. Mark R is in town and on the job now as the new boss of the schools. He's a man with a politcal background. I'll offer up a few of my suggestions -- formally.
School board members should not be permitted to enter the ballot for any other elected office for a two year period following their exit from the the Pgh Public School's board.
Once the elected postion as school board member was converted into a somewhat "terminal" position instead of a stepping-stone to other, higher elected office, then serious school advocates who want to better the schools would run for those offices rather than those who want to better their power-base at the expense of the school students.
Those who work in The White House know that they won't be able to leave their position as an employee in the White House and just pick up any other position they'd like (like with a lobby firm).
More to come, sortly.

INDIANAPOLIS --- Sydney Colson and her Texas A&M teammates weren't surprised that Notre Dame beat No. 1 Connecticut.
They knew what it was like to get tired of getting beat by the same team over and over again. The Aggies lost to Baylor three times before getting past the Bears in the regional final and they watched with interest as the Fighting Irish advanced to the title game by beating their Big East rival.
"We were talking about how they have played them three times before," Colson said. "And this is their fourth time playing them, and they could possibly get an upset just like us against Baylor. And we were confident that they were going to go out there and do it, just because, you know, so much is on the line. And at some point you've got to go out there and get a win before it becomes embarrassing for your team."
CROWD SUPPORT: Notre Dame guard Skylar Diggins expected her hometown of South Bend, Ind., to come to a halt during Tuesday night's championship game.
"Hoosier basketball, you know, you can't even put into words how important this sport is to the state," Diggins said.
MARKETABILITY: Texas A&M coach Gary Blair says women's basketball could be marketable -- if anyone would market it.
He said the teams at the top draw well, but the middle and bottom teams need to be more creative in finding ways to pull people in.
"We need to spend money to make money, and a lot of programs do not do that," Blair said. "They will not put enough money into women's basketball. Women's basketball grows in so many ways besides the dollar bill."
NEXT UP: Danielle Adams , Texas A&M's talented center, played her last college game Tuesday night but the Aggies have someone with similar abilities coming right behind her.
Kelsey Bone , a 6-foot-4 sophomore, sat out this season after transferring from South Carolina and will be eligible to play for the Aggies in 2011-12.
"She has a great inside-outside game just like me," Adams said.

AN elderly man was killed instantly yesterday morning when he was struck by a car while attempting to cross the Churchill- Roosevelt Highway in Valsayn.
The dead man has since been identified as Peter Kallicharan. Up to yesterday evening, investigating officers were unable to confirm the man's age or where he lived. However, they said he appeared to be in his mid-60s.
Officers said around 6.15 a.m., Kallicharran was crossing the highway from north to south close to Super Pharm, when a silver Toyota Corolla, PBY 4669, driven by Donny Kircon slammed into him along the east-bound lane of the highway.
Kallicharan was thrown several feet upon impact and died at the scene. Officers of the St Joseph and Tunapuna Police Stations went to the scene and later detained Kircon, who was being questioned at the St Joseph station up to yesterday evening.
Kallicharan's death has now pushed the country's road fatality for the year so far to 31.
In another incident, there was a non-fatal eight-car smash up along the highway around 9 a.m. Officers said the accident occurred close to Price Smart in Mausica.
The driver of one of the cars reportedly received a "bad drive" from another motorist causing his car to smash into another, creating the domino effect, said police. —RR

City: Small Club, With A Small Mentality
OK, the 'poster row' reached the point where it's no longer funny, only tiresome. City are enjoying their time in the limelight and entertain ideas above their stature but we all know it will come crashing down soon, nobody more so than Sir Alex Ferguson.
'It's City isn't it? They are a small club, with a small mentality.
'All they can talk about is Manchester United, that's all they've done and they can't get away from it.
'They think taking Tevez away from Manchester United is a triumph. It is poor stuff. I thought he would go to City a long time ago.
We all knew he would and hopefully even the most hardcore Tevez fans - I can understand them as I had loved the guy - realise that he's good riddance. He's found his level - at a small club, with a small mentality. When was it they last won a thing? Fortunately the counter at Old Trafford tells us the exact date, for nobody could remember it otherwise...

Doubtful. "Riffing" is a term that's existed for a while; I'm sure it's not been as long as the musical term (which is what Epic Riff is), but it's been at least since when Mystery Science Theater 3000 was in its prime.

I've got Sunshine!
So, when I noticed a ton of MSTing redlinks in an article I'd created a while ago, I figured I'd look for this thread. I've using seen the term used as MSTing, and have done so myself even when I was regularly in that community. Mi S Ting is rarer, MST is more common. I'd support a rename to MSTing as well, but it's not a big deal. It should at least be a redirect to the MST page - it's utterly baffling that such a cut was made without even an attempt to repair so many red links.

My last check on how the page was linked turned up MSTing very rarely. What if someone wanted to use MSTed?
81 0dd16th Sep 2013 09:46:37 PM from Nowhere Land
Just awesome like that
I agree completely with Shadow Hog's assessment and feel the definition should be broadened, with perhaps a paragraph or less explaining how it was initially solely a fanfic term or whatever.
82 MikuruFan6th Sep 2013 10:05:44 PM from Away
I can support broadening it to dedicated snark at other works as opposed to a single Take That!.

No, the other one.
Well, depending on how it's done. I don't think it necessarily has to be about fanfics, but it has to be in the same style. As in, you have the original story with snarky comments attached to it. Not just clips or something like that.
Check out my fanfiction!
84 MikuruFan6th Sep 2013 10:19:48 PM from Away
Yes, like that.
85 SeptimusHeap7th Sep 2013 12:10:56 AM from Laniakea , Relationship Status: Mu
I agree with a broadening.
86 0dd114th Sep 2013 01:56:54 PM from Nowhere Land
Just awesome like that
Okay, so, we generally agree that the term should be extended to any sort of riffing (defined as making fun of a work by adding humorous commentary atop it) and that a little bit of lip-service should be given to its use as a fanfic term, right? Anyone have the spare time to sandbox a new description?
Dragon Writer
>> Sandbox.MST Okay, so if that's the core definition . . . I can't figure out how to expound it at this time. Drawing a blank on how to write up the rest.

88 ShadowHog15th Sep 2013 12:41:10 PM from Earth◊ , Relationship Status: Healthy, deeply-felt respect for this here Shotgun
I've given it a stab. Can't help but think it could use some revision and/or expansion, however. A problem I see with the original description is that it's practically an in-depth history of one specific form of MST/riff (the ones focusing on fanfiction), and as such most of it's superfluous to an expanded definition. I've included some very rudimentary parts of that into my description attempt. I don't think what I omitted is really necessary, but if anyone feels differently, feel free to re-add it, I guess?
89 0dd115th Sep 2013 06:22:27 PM from Nowhere Land
Just awesome like that
I think the new description seems good enough. It's descriptive, clear, and to-the-point. It seems to get across everything it needs to get across perfectly. Something I thought of, should this perhaps be also turned into an index? The "MSTers that have their own page" section in there got me thinking that it might be a good idea. I realize the list there is a little bit sparse, but I know I can think of things not in the list there that can be added (e.g. Doug Walker, Brad Jones, and The Last Angry Geek do their own riff videos from time to time, and I know of a channel on YouTube dedicated to riffing on old public domain shorts, though I might need to create a page for him).

The sandbox looks good to me. All the potentials can be added to that page and it can be set to index.
91 MikuruFan8th Oct 2013 11:37:58 PM from Away
Any work on the sandbox?

Not since mid-September.
93 MikuruFan9th Oct 2013 04:44:49 PM from Away
Would it have a list of examples from media like the one currently on the main page?
94 ShadowHog9th Oct 2013 10:24:21 PM from Earth◊ , Relationship Status: Healthy, deeply-felt respect for this here Shotgun
I want to say it ideally would, but then I added in the "list of MST-ers who have their own page"... and realized that most of the people who do this sort of already get their own work page, which kind of stifles the example list. Maybe, instead of having that list (or index, as I think somebody proposed), they'd just be worked into the example list proper? Of course, the example list from the original article isn't divided by "MST in this medium" but is instead "MST on fanfiction of works in this medium"... We'd have to work around that somehow.
95 MikuruFan9th Oct 2013 10:26:55 PM from Away
There are many lesser known MSTs too.

Added 0dd1's suggestions. I think I'll need help with the actual example list, though - I really have no clue how to make that work, especially since all the current examples were written with an explicit "riffs on fanfiction" definition, and are not broken up into what medium is being riffed on, so much as it all being riffs on fanfiction, broken up by what medium the original work was in.

Still just awesome like that
Personally, I don't feel like we really need an examples list for this. If we gave an examples list, it would probably constitute just the ones listed in the sandbox already (plus whoever else has a page that can be added), plus a whole bunch of disparate links to things that cannot really be sorted in any sort of organized fashion. On the other hand, though, I feel like the examples list we have being placed under there would be fine, without much issue. Also, in the index, we probably should briefly mention what each MSTer does. I added tentative descriptions there, though they might need a little work.

I suppose I should've read the example list a little more closely; there are non-fanfiction examples hiding in there. I've copied and pasted the entire example list from the main article into the sandbox, for now; I'll have to sort through it more closely later tonight (since, y'know, the clock).

Double post, but be done. I think the sandbox is ready to plant onto the Main subspace, if nobody has any egregious objections. Admittedly the index part isn't set up, but I figured it'd be better to wait until that's in the correct namespace; don't want to make a mess.

text: Hey Guys, First, I apologize if these questions are in the wrong category. With so many categories, I totally got confused as to which ones to put where. Ok, i used to record vudu movies from my vizio blu-ray dvd player into my magnavox dvd recorder, while watching them on my 10 year old rca big screen t.v. and listening to it on my 12 year old rca stereo home theatre. Everything was using rca in/out. Now, i just bought a new Samsung smart t.v. with a stand alone digital antenna (dont have cable t.v.) and im having trouble getting everything to work again i.e. no video, audio not in sync, etc. I Quickly figured out the importance of having HDMI in/outs. So, Im looking at buying a replacement dvd recorder and home theatre. here is what im looking at buying. Magnavox MDR537H 1 TB DVD Recorder/HDD with Digital Tuner (Black) Product Features Records up to 1252 hours of contents onto 1TB HDD 4-Way Dubbing (HDD->DVD, DVD->HDD, DV->HDD, DV->DVD) Watch, Forward, Rewind or Freeze Live TV while Recording 1080p Up-Conversion HDMI Output Outfitted with 3 HDMI inputs (I hope this will allow me to record to disc as someone said in a review.) 2) Sony HTSS380 3D Home Theater System Product Features 1000 watt 5.1 channel surround sound (167 W x5 + 165 W) Three HDMI inputs: single-cable High-Definition AV connections HDMI Repeater with 3D pass-through iPod/iPhone dock for video, music and photos BRAVIA Widget unified on-screen interface 3) Apple T.V. Version 2 JailBroken My Questions are: 1) Do you think these items (First two) will solve my problems, and i can go back to easily recording movies to disc? 2) What's the best way to hook everything up? Since i am getting the Apple t.v., I was thinking of running the Digital Antenna, Apple t.v. and my Visio blu-ray disc player w/vudu into the HDMI inputs of the new Magnavox MDR537H DVD Recorder and then, running the Magnavox Recorder HDMI output into my Samsung smart t.v. HDMI input. 3) As for the Sound. Im not sure if i should run the Magnavox MDR537H DVD Recorder, or the Samsung smart t.v. into the Sony HTSS380 3D Home Theater System? I apologize for the lengthy post. Believe me, I get more confused just writing it, but i know you guys have the most knowledgeable answers. Thanks,

Moe's Southwest Grill, and another yogurt shop, are planning to go into space that would be built in what is now the parking lot at Glenmont Plaza in Bethlehem.
Benderson Development, which owns the shopping plaza, is planning to build two new buildings, including a 5,600 square-foot building that will house the Moe's and Menchie's Frozen Yogurt.
That same building would have a third tenant, although it is unclear if Benderson has an exact company in mind.
The second building would be 3,000 square feet and house a restaurant. No name has been given.
Benderson is seeking planning board approval for the two new structures.

Heheh, I'm SO glad the Japanese are probably getting this intro too. Now they can experience the same horror we have had to face (at least they don't understand half of the words... lucky them).
Eh, as for my thoughts:
Didn't like it very much.
HOWEVER, the original BGM and extra violence was excellent, and I'm surprised at how well that was kept.
Now if only PUSA will spice up the dialogue a bit and improve the voices, then we'll be okay. ^__^

Turning swiftly, Howard tried to focus his eyes to the book shelf from where the intruder's voice came.
There stood a female figure, dressed in a knee length pleated red skirt, white blouse with three-quarter sleeves, a belt that clung to her waist, and red patent heels. With a cigarette in hand, the small red glow, along with the cloud of smoke drew Howard's attention to the auburn hair that was, unfashionably, let loose. The wave of the hair framed a face that had a sharp jaw-line and pointed nose, but a heart-shaped curve that put the features into proportion. A slight hint of red lay on the lips, and they spoke once again.
"I'm afraid that I may have to report Jennings."
"Ex-excuse me?" stuttered Howard, taken aback by the British accent and casualness of her tone.
"Jennings. He let our best asset slip past him." The young woman walked towards the table, took a last drag on her cigarette and stubbed it out in the ashtray on the table. "Imagine if you hadn't returned, Mr Stark." she drawled, a slight smirk skipping over her lips.
"I wasn't leaving; I was just getting some fresh air. I-"
"Fresh air with Colonel Phillips? Didn't think he'd enjoy the sights of Regent Park."
A slight low giggle expressed the amusement of the woman stood across the table from Howard. He looked at her, smiling too, at the thought of being hand in hand with Colonel Phillips, skipping through the Chrysanthemums. Looking up as her eyes creased in amusement, they were of a deep blue, or shade of green; he could not tell from that distance.
Walking around the table towards her, he extended his hand and received hers in his, slowly shaking with surprising grip.
"I did not come here to talk about your hobbies, sadly. I came here to brief you on your imminent journey."
Taking several paces back and sighing, Howard took the back of a chair and pulled it from underneath the table, spinning it around to face his conversational partner, and sat down in expectance, crossing his leg so his left ankle rest on his right knee.
"Anything you could tell me about what I am doing here and where I'm to be going would be greatly appreciated, Miss...?"
The young woman cocked her head to the left and exhaled hard.
"So he hasn't told you anything? What a foolish, idiotic..." She trailed off, placing her fist up to her teeth, and biting her knuckle, shaking her head.
"Who? Colonel Phillips?" She nodded. "I wouldn't let anyone hear you say such things about him. I promise I won't tell." Howard cheekily smiled, leaning forwards towards her. She perched on the table to the side of him, throwing her unruly hair behind her back.
"Oh, I don't worry about him. I can say almost anything about him and he'd just laugh it off."
Confused and intrigued, Howard started to speak, but was quickly interrupted by a cry of indignation.
"You were going to let him get on that plane without telling him a single bloody thing? Honestly, your levels of compassion are beyond me!"
"Will you let me get a word in edgeways woman?!" roared the Colonel from the door, making Howard jump up from his seat in a flash. "The documents are here. Everything is fine. The ball's in motion. Jeese, you've definitely inherited your mother's impatient streak..."
Just as quickly as he arrived, Colonel Philips trhew down a paper bound file and turned on his heels out of the room. Howard, taking the file that was being handed to him by his new companion, stood in shock at the new reserved behaviour of the Colonel.
"Did he just...? I don't understand... You should be packing your bags by know!" Howard scoffed, amazed by the lack of anger and control of the Colonel relating to what just happened. A member of staff, much lower than himself probably, and a woman as well, had just completely undermined his authority. Gaping at the young woman, she just giggled once again and pushed her hair back off her face.
"Being a Colonel's niece has major benefits. One is that I can say almost what I like, knowing that if he goes too far he'll hear an earful from Mummy." Silence as Howard shook his head and laughed slightly himself. "But enough of that. You have some reading to do before your posting tomorrow. I'll arrange for a driver to take you back to your hotel. And please stay there tonight. Don't go wandering off again..."
Walking towards the door with a cigarette box in hand, she stopped and turned as Howard spoke.
"I'll only promise to stay in tonight if you tell me your name." bartered Howard, jumping around the table and towards the door also.
"I can't tell you my real name, but look at that file. That can be my name for now."
Howard looked down at the paper bound file.
"Top Secret?" he joked, giving a cheeky grin.
"No! Don't be silly. You can call me Bee."
Sorry it's been so long, but I've gone back to Uni! Thanks to my followers and reviews! I'd love for you to shape where this goes, so please review and tell me any ideas you may have! Thanks! Kitty xx

text: RidgeFest always boasts an impressive roster of musical acts and this year is no exception. Ted Nugent, The Bacon Brothers, Pat Benatar and The Lt. Dan Band have all lent their talents to this annual summer celebration. And it's kind of a gas to find Hollywood types such as Kevin Bacon and Gary Sinise in the area. The chance of running into them at a local bar always excites the paparazzi in each of us. A little more star power converges on this southern suburb when Dennis "Styx" DeYoung and Eddie "Take Me Home Tonight" Money play on Friday and Saturday night, respectively. A fireworks extravaganza will surely wake the neighbors on Sunday night, if the sounds of chirping carnival rides and buzzing games don't do the trick first.

I was pleased to see that Google Maps team announced support of the hCard microformat [1] today in map search results. This will make the export of address/contact info easier for users, and pave the way for perhaps greater integration between the map results and other applications. If you have a browser with a Microformat plugin feature, you can easily export listing information for use in Outlook or other applications you may have:
Can we hope that Google's support of Microformats at the front-end of their application might also indicate that they may eventually support Microformats at the back-end? As you may recall, in local SEO tips [2] I posted last year, I recommended that local business webmasters not just include their business address on their site pages, but to do so in the hCard Microformat. I was probably the first to propose doing this for local search optimization, even though there's been no overt mention from the search engine representatives that this is necessary or desirable. So, why did I recommend doing that?
Well, it doesn't require much time to do it, and it won't interfere with the normal indexing or optimization of a site for either local search engines or regular web search engines. It provides a nice feature for those who have set up their browsers to use Microformats for portability of information. The most important reason I suggested it was that I think it could improve the ability of search engines to take and interpret address/contact info from a website in order to list the site in local search results – if enough local webmasters adopted the practice, the search engines would certainly be likely to interpret the format when spidering results (if they haven't already) in order to help improve quality and reduce chances for error.
In my more recent call for a standard local business profile format [3], I further recommended that such a protocol should ideally be based on the hCard Microformat. Now, I've seen the local listing submission format that Google Maps uses, along with many other sites' data formats, and they're all across the board in terms of commonalities. Businesses desiring to provide updated/enhanced data about their locations to all the various online local directories have to output their data in many different flavors, creating a technical maintenance headache and creating barriers to companies with limited time and resources. If one standard were declared companies would flock to it, saving themselves money, and improving local data across many sites, resulting in enhanced user-experiences for consumers.
The Google Maps team's new deployment of Microformat support is yet another brilliant development in their evolution of local search. I hope they keep going in the direction they've been going.

New laptops, GPS aid in efficiency while on patrol
Published 6:00 pm, Tuesday, February 2, 2010
Midland police patrol cars got a makeover this week with new technology being installed to help make officers' jobs more efficient.
Approximately 110 new laptops replaced laptops bought in 2002. The new Panasonic Toughbooks are about the same size but are more powerful, faster and will hold more memory.
"They allow the officers to be more efficient," said MPD Chief Price Robinson.
Officers writing reports now will be able to send their reports directly to the server at the police department and to detectives for the cases to be worked. The previous system had two additional steps — having the reports signed off by a supervisor and then merged — which could take a couple of days before the report was in the server and accessable to investigators.
The new format for reports will also be more user-friendly, Robinson said, helping cut down on the amount of time officers will spend writing them.
"It's going to be a time saver," he said.
Automatic Vehicle Locators were also part of the new addition this week and were mounted in the trunk of every car. The locators, which work like GPS, will help dispatchers to be able to find officers and to be able to send the closest ones out to calls.
It's one of the biggest benefits of the new system, Robinson said, since it will help cut down on the amount of time patrol officers spend zigzagging across town.
The new ruggedized laptops cost about $600,000 — money the city council approved last year out of the budget for purchasing.
"You just can't put a retail laptop in there," Robinson said. "I'm very confident we're gotten our money's worth out of our current ones,"
New features of the computers include a touch screen and a back light that will not illuminate the entire interior of the officer's car.
Instead of an exterior wireless card, each laptop has an internal one that will be used as a backup. The MPD hopes to run the laptops off the city's wireless network, already used to control the synchronized traffic light system installed around town.
Along with being able to write their reports, patrol officers will be able to receive crime bulletins and have their calls sent from dispatch straight to their laptops. Police also can do their own warrant checks and check license plates when making traffic stops.
The computers are designed to be sturdy and strong enough for officers, and the keyboards are sealed so rain or water won't seep through, Robinson said.
"Officers can take them out and if they're dropped, they're just rugged to take the daily wear and tear that a police officer puts them through," he added.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Kansas City, Mo., Mayor Sly James' son Kyle James is in jail Thursday stemming from a DUI incident in Olathe, Kan., back in 2009.
In March, James violated the terms of his parole and served 30 days in jail.
Again in June, court records show he violated his probation again, although the records do not indicate how.
He was arrested on June 4th and posted $2,500 bond on June 5th where he was ordered to attend a hearing on
Wednesday, July 17. In that hearing, the judge ruled that James did violate his probation.
His case is up for review on Nov. 20, 2013.

Wigan quartet in Dream Team
Four of Wigan's League Leaders' Shield squad have been included in the 2010 Engage Super League Dream Team.
Last Updated: 07/09/10 6:16am
Four of Wigan's League Leaders' Shield-winning squad have been included in the 2010 Engage Super League Dream Team.
Stand-off Sam Tomkins, who was the Warriors' only representative in the 2009 team, is joined by older brother Joel and Warriors team-mates Sean O'Loughlin and Pat Richards, who make their debuts in the line-up chosen by members of the media based on form throughout the regular season.
The Tomkins are the first brothers to appear in a Super League Dream Team, three months after becoming the first siblings to play for the national team for 21 years.
This year's team has been drawn from just five clubs, with Warrington and St Helens each providing three players, Leeds two and Hull KR one.
The team includes three of the League's elder statesmen in Wolves captain Adrian Morley, Leeds centre Keith Senior and St Helens full-back Paul Wellens.
After making his Dream Team comeback in 2009 after a 10-year absence, Morley becomes the first player to appear in selections in three decades.
Warrington centre Matt King is a first-time entrant, along with Richards, who equalled Andy Farrell's Super League points-in-a-season record of 388 in his side's 34-12 win over Bradford last Friday.
2010 Engage Super League Dream Team:
Paul Wellens (St Helens); Pat Richards (Wigan), Matt King (Warrington), Keith Senior (Leeds), Ryan Hall (Leeds); Sam Tomkins (Wigan), Michael Dobson (Hull KR); James Graham (St Helens), James Roby (St Helens), Adrian Morley (Warrington), Ben Westwood (Warrington), Joel Tomkins (Wigan), Sean O'Loughlin (Wigan).

A new dedicated adoption hotline in the East Riding is set to be staffed by a group of volunteer adopters.
Drawing on first-hand experience, the volunteers will be on hand to answer any initial queries from people seeking further information about the adoption process.
Being Family, the new brand name for the Yorkshire and Humber Adoption Consortium – of which East Riding of Yorkshire Council is a member – has set up the helpline to answer queries from potential adopters across the region.
The confidential helpline (0300 222 5934) is run from 10am to 6pm five days a week, Monday to Friday. Many of the advisers have adopted children and are happy to talk to potential adopters in the East Riding about the process and how rewarding the experience is.
Nic Haughton, manager of Being Family, said: "Our helpline team have been specially selected for their insider knowledge of adoption. We want potential adopters to be able to talk to qualified members of Being Family with the benefit of their own experience, who understand the process and can talk about how life changing the process is. Our aim is to make the early stages of becoming an adopter more integrated, so ultimately we increase the number of adopters in the Yorkshire and Humber region."
Across the Yorkshire and Humber region 800 children are awaiting adoption and this number is expected to rise this year.
The East Riding adoption team would welcome enquiries from potential adopters from all sectors of the community.
Ian Wilson, East Riding of Yorkshire Council's adoption manager, said: "We really need people who can offer a child or sibling group a loving and supportive family for life – people who can help a child recover from the reasons why they came into care and can help them go on to thrive in a new family."
For more information about adopting, ring the hotline number 0300 222 5934, visit www.eastriding.gov.uk/adoption or ring 01482 396673.

Q&A: Phil Farhi, group product manager, YouTube.
YouTube is rolling out its skippable video ad format In-stream to mobile devices for the first time. The format, which now accounts for 65% of all video ads run on the platform globally, is also being prepped to extend across other mobile platforms, as well as connected TVs further down the line.
The ad formats are becoming increasingly ppopular in the UK, with consumers enjoyng the additional control it lends them over their viewing experince, while advertisers only pay for "engaged" views, those which have lasted 30+ seconds.
YouTube's group product manager Phil Farhi (pictured) spoke to new media age how skiappable video ads are evolving ad creative, while outlning its next steps for the formats on other mobile platforms and connected TVs.
How important is the timing of this launch in the face of wider market trends?
It is a crucial piece of a larger puzzle. We are seeing a clear uptake in traffic on YouTube coming through mobile, in fact one in five of our views are via mobile. Therefore there is a huge opportunity for our content owners to monetise their mobile viewerships. When we think about monetising content for content owners and funding the content creation ecosytem, mobile plays a key part of that.
Then with Trueview we have a buying model and a set of fomats that has proved incredibly popular with advertisers and lucrative for content owners. This is the confluence of those two trends.
How might this drive investment in mobile video advertising?
The only asset you need for the Trueview model is video. So there is effectively no barrier to entry to mobile adveritising if you are already doing desktop video.
I think we will see our savvier advertisers start to optimise their campaigns for mobile. Our initial test results show users seem to engage with mobile ads in similar ways to desktop regarding how they watch, but over time we will need to think about how we optimise for mobile. That will involve thinking about which are the right creatives for mobile. But the underlying asset is the same – the video creative.
What effect are skippable ads having on ad creativity?
There has been a very interesting evolution in the creatives we have seen. It started with repurposed creatives running as Trueview in-stream ads. Then you started seeing advertisers get creative about tailoring their ads when they know they are skippable, so focusing on the first five seconds to really engage a user and invite them to stay and watch more.
You develop a creative very differently if you know you have a fixed 30 seconds of a user's attention, like in TV, versus if you have an initial invitation or opportunity to discover, and effectively a blank slate for telling the rest of your story. So you are seeing people break free of the shackles of a 30-second creative, and using the early part of their ad to engage users and get them to stick around.
Do you think this will evolve further with Trueview on mobile?
I think we'll see advertisers who not only tailor ads for the skippable format but tailor them for different audiences – the same message but tweaked depending on which audience you are going after.
I like to think of YouTube as the largest focus group in the world. It's really a canvas for a creative marketers to talior their message and try interesting new ones. Ultimately they can derive insights from how all these things have performed, which can drive more ad spend.
Given tracking mobile data isn't as advanced as online tracking, could Trueview on mobile help improve that?
Absolutely. You can start to track at a much more granular level just through the interaction with the ad. How many people are skipping, who is skipping, how much of video are they watching - all that insight is avialable to see as it is all captured within the ad unit. Once you have captured it you can break it out by device.
What are your plans for the rest of the Trueview suite?
The broader Trueview suite will eventually play a role on mobile. We have already launched the Trueview In-search product on some of our mobile platofrms. You will gradually start seeing all those pieces start to move over and go across screens. Over 65% of the pre-roll ads we have right now are skippable, these ads are earning equal to or better revenue for our content creators than our traditional pre-roll ads. So publishers are making more money with a more user-friendly format, and advertisers are getting their accountability beacuase we are doing a better job of matching up advertisers and users.
Will Trueview interactive video formats be extended to connected TVs?
Yes absolutely. The idea of cost per view is the core of this entire platform. Certain sets of formats are rendered a particualr way to suit desktop, but as we move to different devices those formats may change. Eventually on connected TVs it might be about 'how do we think about engaging or viewing an ad when the input device is a remote control or your mobile phone is controlling the connected TV?' So we will adapt the cost-per-view model to different screens, but that model will always be the underlying premise.
What are your immediate next steps?
We will continue to ramp up traffic on this and learn more. You will see us refine how the format works and how our optimisation worls. Eventually we will roll it out to other mobile platforms, having started with Android. It's safe to say you will see us move quickly in this space as there is such a tremendous opportunity in mobile and for advertisers to move more in that space right now.

Climate Change Answers Can Come From Deserts
Australians can learn much from their deserts and from desert people about how to cope with climate change and scarce resources.
That's the message of a new book released today by the Desert Knowledge CRC and CSIRO Publishing."Dry Times: Blueprint for a Red Land" argues that desert plants, animals and people have been surviving and thriving for thousands of years on scarce resources and uncertain climates "" and they have the systems to cope with uncertainty which urban society lacks.
Written by former DKCRC CEO and CSIRO principal research scientist Dr Mark Stafford Smith, and Julian Cribb, the book distils three decades of "desert wisdom" - the rules of survival as practiced by the people and wildlife.
"With the knowledge embodied in our deserts, Australians can reshape the human story. This is exactly the kind of wisdom the world needs to help survive the 21st century, a time of growing resource scarcity and unpredictable climates," Dr Stafford Smith says. "There are a lot of lessons from the Australian deserts which apply worldwide nowadays.
"Desert Australia teaches us new ways to live and co-operate, to manage difficult landscapes, isolation, lack of water and energy. Governments can learn much from the immense value of what desert people, especially desert Aboriginal people, know."
A key message of the book is that desert people know, from long and harsh experience, what is the best way to organize themselves and develop their industries and communities. External approaches, though well-intentioned, often fail because they do not appreciate the full picture or conflict with one of the basic rules for desert survival.
"This is a compelling argument for desert people to be given a bigger say in shaping their own destinies, and in running their own lives and institutions." Mark says.
"Dry Times" describes what drives deserts and their inhabitants: unpredictability, variability, sparse populations and resources, remoteness, local knowledge, cultural differences and social uncertainty. It explains how these have led to various strategies that enable both people and wildlife to prosper amid otherwise harsh surrounds.
"Besides seeming hot, dry and empty, deserts are also enormously rich "" but the richness is concentrated in certain places and at certain times, like when the rains come," Dr Stafford Smith says. "All living creatures, including us, obey certain rules to take advantage of this fact."
Desert strategies include mobility "" the need to keep on the move as resources come and go and networks form and reform: this applies to fly-in/out miners, Aboriginal communities, pastoralists and migratory desert birds. They include exploiting rich local resources like the coolabah exploits the billabong, or the miner exploits the orebody. They include building knowledge networks, like Aboriginal people or desert businesses on the internet. They include expanding in the good times and retreating in the bad, like paper daisies or tourism ventures. They include forming links with other species or big players such as mining companies or governments.
"These are clever strategies for survival "" and they work very well," says Dr Stafford Smith. "However deserts have disadvantages too, especially the fact they are often ruled or influenced by people who live outside the deserts and who don't always appreciate what is involved or why desert people do the things they do.
"We call this the problem of "distant voice": it means if you live in a desert your voice is often not as heard by the people who run governments or the economy as the voices of people living in cities or on the coast. It's a phenomenon desert people live with constantly and need to make adjustments to," he said.
"But we also believe that, in many cases, desert people know best. They understand their own needs best, and they ought to be listened to more by those developing national policies, to ensure these policies do not conflict with the desert drivers and rules of survival."
The bottom line, say the authors, is that in the resource-scarce, increasingly uncertain 21st century, Australians and people the world over need to pay much closer attention to the deserts "" and what they can teach us all about the rules of survival.
"Dry Times: Blueprint for a Red Land" has been released by CSIRO Publishing and is available online and in bookstores.

Do you have an interest in becoming both a pilot and a mechanic? You would be surprised how many pilots hold a mechanic's license. There are some advantages to being both. I discuss:
- How you can be an operational asset because you can repair items which break and a mechanic is miles from your location.
- Certain seemingly simple repairs must be signed off by a mechanic especially if it includes a safety wire.
- Some pilot jobs including corporate jobs require a mechanic's license.
- Story of a simple bird strike which grounded our plane and how having a mechanic on board saved the day.

Teresa Ferent of National Aviation Academy in Clearwater, Florida invited me to speak with a variety of employees at their Clearwater Florida facility. National Aviation Academy has a long history of training mechanics and recently has added pilot training to their curriculum. I have worked with many of the mechanics and pilots who have graduated from the National Aviation Academy and can say first hand that they provide outstanding training.
We discuss:
- Job Prospects for Mechanics and Pilots
- According to Boeing Aircraft "Airlines will need 23,300 new pilots and 30,000 new maintenance personnel per YEAR from 2010 to 2029."
- Financing Your Education.
- Advantages of having both a pilot certificate and aviation maintenance technician certificate (AMT).
- AMT programs offered by NAA.
- Why mechanics should consider aviation training.
- Pilot programs available.
- Why FAA part 141?
- Degree programs offered and the benefits of a degree.
- Veterans Benefits - 2 week transition training.
- Locations.
- Association For Women In Aviation Maintenance.
- Free Application For Federal Student Aid.
- AMT Society Scholarships.
- Women In Aviation International.
- FinAid! - The Smart Student Guide to Financial Aid
- FastWeb - Scholarships, Financial Aid, and Student Loans.
A special thanks to those I spoke with at National Aviation Academy Including:
Teresa Ferent, Community Resource Representative
Angie Capriotti, Director Of Career Services
Richard Rios, Director Of Student Finance
John Okenfus, Assistant Director of Admissions
Marty Carpenter, Director Of Admissions for Professional PIlot Technology.
Recommended Products and Services:
The National Aviation Academy website has one of the most extensive repositories of information concerning careers as Aviation Maintenance Technicians and Pilots. They have outstanding online presentations concerning job prospects, salary expectations, and how to get your certificates. This is the first website I tell folks to turn to for information concerning becoming an aircraft mechanic. Even if you are not planning on attending the school I highly recommend the information they provide on this website.
For those who are interested in getting a jump start on becoming an Aviation Maintenance Technician or for those who already are AMT's there is a handy reference for the iPhone and the iPad. I use their app for pilots and think it is one of the best organized and easiest to read Aviation Regulation reference for a mobile device.

Videos: Letting Go and Letting It Flow
I was raised and educated to be very structured. From my engineering perspective everything was carefully planned and flowed in a predetermined sequence.
My management science training included a system called PERT (Program Evaluation Review Technique). Everything was timed perfectly. Workers had to build the foundation of the house well before calling in the roofers. It all happened according to plan.
I made a living as a systems engineer and a software developer. Parts of my life were all structured nicely. And I was befuddled by what wasn't fitting into my linear view of the world around me.
In our accelerating world, structures seem to come and go faster than we can comprehend.
It's becoming more necessary to simplify. And working with flows is a tremendous way to simplify. It's like using a giant lever to lift the world.

The wondrous aspect about music, including the artists and bands that create it, is that those imagined sounds don't necessarily need to be reproduced. For years, people complained that Radiohead would never make another The Bends; then for years, everyone whined Radiohead would never make another Kid A; and most recently, it's about everyone crying that Radiohead won't make another In Rainbows. Succinctly so, they frankly don't give a damn. Why not continue to progress, evolve and — stunningly so — grow as a band, stretching your own boundaries where you never thought possible? It's too bad many bands get stuck with crazed fanatics and incorrect reviewers who assume they got it all figured out.
With Radiohead come many bands that have relished in being influenced by the now massive band. When Nigel Godrich first started getting noticed for his production value it was when he tackled the sounds of Radiohead and helped produce what some regard as their finest albums. For Luke Temple and Here We Go Magic, the idea of working with Godrich allowed for their own ideas to reflect off the shining production into a whole new world of spectacular sound. With their first album, 2009's self-titled effort, Temple and company wrestled with blending ambient tones with striking pop onto a solid debut and they quickly followed it with a starkly bright album in Pigeons. Throughout this time Temple has amassed his share of detractors who claim he and the band seem to suffer from some kind of identity crisis. This made-up development has opened the door for their latest album, the rousing A Different Ship, an album that with the help of Godrich, is arguably their greatest to date.
Contrary to many opinions, Here We Go Magic dig much deeper than the driving hooks of "Collector" and Temple is an assured songwriter continuing to improve his craft. On A Different Ship the band amasses ten songs that fantastically combine styles with magnificent results. Tightening the reigns with songs that employ driving guitars and bass, scaling synths at other times and Temple's brilliant voice, these sounds excel with immense skill. On "I Believe in Action" the band conveys their love of ambience with an atmosphere that is built upon layers of lulling synthesizers and looping refrains; the song's pulse is never in question and the ending result is a soaring clash of layers. It's dissimilar from the way it all opens on "Hard to be Close," where Temple's voice sounds like something out of an old 60s cassette and the chugging guitar and pummeling bass make for a sweet ride. The magic in this kind of music is the mere fact that it is sprawling with tenacious craft and styles; Temple has risen to new highs.
With the mention of styles, there is strong praise in the way the album is sequenced. The flow is unassuming and it all carries strong momentum to the ending title track. Seemingly lost in the 80s (who isn't nowadays?) the music beckons with a tremendously clever ode to The Police with Temple's use of modest shifts, the chamber of voices and his own Sting cadence and tone. Whether it's timely balladry ("Alone But Moving") that contrasts with intrepid synths, or upbeat rockers ("How Do I Know") that question our ever-evolving thoughts and dreams with a peaceful, superb drive, Here We Go Magic certainly sound fantastically magical on A Different Ship. It's a definitive kind of feel and one that deserves proper recognition; they've delivered a remarkable album.
