Who's dumber on the Vikings stadium: Dean Urdahl or Jim Souhan?
[Update: Late Wednesday, the Star Tribune added a clarification to Souhan's column noting Urdahl's vote.]
There's something ironic about a journalist ripping someone for asking a question, much less attacking them for "dumbing down" an issue while missing a crucial fact himself.
Star Tribune sports columnist Jim Souhan delivered a haymaker on state Rep. Dean Urdahl for asking Vikings lobbyist Lester Bagley at a House Government Operations hearing Monday, "Why should the state of Minnesota contribute to a stadium for a billionaire owner?"
"Some of our elected officials are often no smarter than the guy who writes in the comments section of an online newspaper, 'Your stupid'," thundered Souhan. "Urdahl should recognize that he has marked himself as a Republican who is trying to kill a jobs and economic stimulus project."
One problem: Urdahl voted for the stadium bill.
"Your dumb," meet "your dumber."
Unless Souhan truly believes a mere question is more powerful than an actual vote, it seems he simply didn't know how Urdahl voted. The columnist did not answer an email or phone call this morning, but it's possible he based his rant on Star Tribune reporter Mike Kaszuba's story, which recounted Urdahl's question but did not state which button the Grove City Republican pressed.
"He never talked to me," Urdahl said of Souhan Tuesday. "This is pretty irresponsible. It starts with Kaszuba just putting the quote out there, but didn't report the preface to the statement, which was — and I paraphrase — 'Here's a question I get asked most frequently, it's on everyone's mind, let's get it out of the way.'"
Unlike some Republicans who apparently switched their votes when the committee's "no" verdict became clear, Urdahl says, "I was voting 'yes' all along. I wasn't one of the ones that passed [on the initial round of voting]. No gamesmanship — I was voting yes to move to the next committee."
MinnPost's Doug Grow, who attended the hearing, said, "It was almost like the planted question to get straight to the fundamental question before delving into details."
The best columnists report, but not all do, at least not as often they should, especially when many of them have radio shows and other media obligations/compulsions. Columnists have license to unload, and great columns have bounced off someone else's reporting. The risk of non-reporting? Looking like a lazy-know-it-all.
"My next call, I'm calling his editor," Urdahl says. "I want a clarification in his column. People read that I'm shallow, have a third-grade mentality, I'm a job-killer … this is just so wrong, egregiously wrong. Who could read that column and assume I voted 'yes'?"
Clarifications on opinion pieces are rare, so we'll see how that goes. But even if Souhan dwelled in ignorance, what about his underlying point: that even raising the "billionaire" question was stupid?
"I'm a state representative; I represent the people of my district," Urdahl says. "I thought if one of my constituents was sitting here, and had Lester Bagley in front of them, what question would he want asked? I knew the answer; I wanted to get the Vikings on the record for the people of Minnesota answering that question. When you're dealing with hundreds of millions of dollars, I don't think it's an inappropriate question."
(Urdahl says Bagley answered that Vikings owner Zygi Wilf was making the third-biggest stadium contribution of any stadium owner, which doesn't quite answer the question.)
Urdahl says he's had to field "a couple hundred calls and emails" since Kaszuba's initial story, and after pro-stadium SavetheVikes.org initially, erroneously listed him as a "no" vote. Souhan's piece, he says, has only kept the fire going.
The representative says he's no stranger to critical voter feedback, but in this case, it's especially galling since "I've had to defend a vote I didn't take."

Souhan Stoopid?
I'm shocked. Shocked! that Jim Souhan would write a column that was misinformed and wrongheaded.
Viking Candy Bar Financing Plan
" 'Your stupid',"
Is anyone else troubled by this? Shouldn't it be 'You're stupid'?
Anyway, there is absolutely nothing new about misleading information in the STRIB. This is commercial media, its about entertainment and audience.
The real problem is this "he has marked himself as a Republican who is trying to kill a jobs and economic stimulus project." Anything that spends that much public money can be justified on that basis. We could waste the money in almost any fashion imaginable while creating jobs.
Or we could build new public facilities that would be used more than 8 times a year as a studio for televised football games. There really aren't any other uses where we don't already have several appropriate venues already available.
I have a financing plan for a new stadium. Why doesn't the legislature create a candy bar and let Vikings fans sell them door to door? I have kids coming by regularly selling stuff for various school sports teams. I am sure with guys like Souhan and the other sport radio media celebrities to promote their sales, they shouldn't have too much trouble making sales. Of course they would have to get off their couches so ...
Souhan was quoting
I assume Souhan know the difference between "your' and "you're", thus the quotes.
We're all stoopid....
Souhan, on his way to pick up his check from Ziggy, writes a stupid column. He, the mayor, the guv, Ziggy and the rest of those theives know that all of us who oppose this boondoggle are stupid; that's why they won't allow a vote, even though it is clearly against the intent of the Minneapolis referendum law. I think the only job Souhan is worried about is his own. Our opinions are stupid but those guys that show up at hearings in costumes and with their faces painted purple, they're rocket scientists.
Thank you for that clarification, David
I thought the Vandals had finally sacked Rome, and civilization was advancing quickly (or more quickly than is comfortable) into the Dark Grammar Ages.
Not only was Souhan's article clueless on Urdah's question
but his mocking of a commenter for writing "Your stupid," was in a column where T.S. Eliot was spelled "T.S. Eliiot." Probably just a typo, but still....
Stadium Follies
When was the last time a Strib columnist criticized the Wilfare plan for a $1B stadium? Oh, yeah, that would be me: January '09, just before I had my column killed. Now it's Rah Rah Rah all the time. Even Lori Sturdevant is on board, so (she says) "we can move on to talking about important stuff." No mention of Strib scoring up to $100M off their empty parking lots. My guess is Souhan and Reusse et al get a big AttaBoy from the boss whenever they bang the drum, no matter how stoopidly. Why not? Intelligence is not part of the discussion.
Follies, Part II
I want to mention that Rachel Blount made a valiant effort, in the Strib's sports section, to criticize the unrestrained greed and unceasing demands of the NFL and the Wilfs for a new Vikings stadium, in October, 2009; but as Mr Brauer pointed out, Blount's column (ironically) was unavailable to online readers unless you paid the Strib's Purple Pom-Pom Tax, subscribing to the paper's premium Vikings coverage. As far as I know, Rachel has not returned to the subject, while her male, pro-sports worshiping colleagues have been howling for a stadium from locker rooms and luxury boxes. Meanwhile neither of the Strib's in-house Metro columnists has condescended to take a squint at the topic, with Jon Tevlin haughtily declaring that the topic was beneath his talents: "The topic in general, rehashed relentlessly over the decades, is not very interesting to me," he told Brauer last year. "I'm happy to let someone else own that, as I will with, say, abortion and other top five topics of talk radio." How dull it is to be a columnist! Of course, Tevlin is smarter than I was: Writing about the stadium is to court trouble with a newspaper committed to its own special interests. And that's why the Silence of the Lambs at the StarTribune is so revealing. The whole Vikings stadium boondoggle does not reflect well on a newspaper that stands to profit hugely from a stadium. But it offers citizens a great, real-world laboratory for understanding how important "public" decisions are crafted in closed-door meetings, pushed along by hidden agendas and proceed by rolling over everything in their path. If I were still writing a column at the Strib, I would be following every step in this process, very closely.
Of course, that's why I am NOT still writing a column at the Strib.
Speaking of accuracy in columns...
How's that legal challenge to the Twins stadium deal that a certain Strib columnist claimed flouted state law going? :)
Maybe it's about time
some alt-weekly did a hard-hitting look at the pampered world of big time sports journalism, and their matador coverage of the rich and ownerous.
Souhan, along with his comrades on 1500 radio, act as if they have all the answers in sports or politics. More disturbing is that they often call others idiots if they disagree with them.
Souhan can flip positions faster than Mitt Romney. When the Vikings played the Bears at Soldier Field in Favre's last season, Souhan, in his pregame show, said the Vikings would win because the Bears had not played anybody good to that point. On the Monday afternoon radio program after the Vikings had lost to the Bears, Souhan said the Vikings had not played anybody good to that point!
Also, one of Reusse's sidekicks on a later radio show complained that people don't properly use the correct your or you're. Then shortly after complaining he used the nominative case after a preposition, which so many people do today.
Although Paul Allen is a cheerleader for the Vikings, he admits it and has always treated any callers with respect when I have listened to him on a rival station. Even though I care little about the Vikings, I do admire Paul Allen for his courtesy.
What They Said
This seemed like it was verging on a game of telephone, so at the risk of hanging too much on these guys' every word, I listened to the House audio. Here is the full exchange between Rep. Urdahl and Leter Bagley.
URDAHL: "Just a question that is frequently out there. You might as well answer it for the record. Why should the state of Minnesota contribute a stadium for a billionaire who could pay for it all himself?"
BAGLEY: "The stadium, as I concluded, will be owned by the public, used by everyone. The Metrodome has had 90 million people through it in the 30 years since it opened. It's truly a statewide asset. A lot of high school sports--high school soccer, baseball, football, cheerleading teams that some of their highlights of their careers have been playing on the field where the Vikings, where the Twins used to play. The facility is not a private facility. We have in front of us an opportunity to leverage the third-largest private contribution up front, and to make sure that we have a facility that can be used by everyone going forward and all the events that are consistent with what currently occur at the Metrodome."
In Mike Kaszuba's defense, there wasn't much more context or setup to Urdahl's question than what he quoted. That said, what he quoted wasn't quite how Urdahl said it. Urdahl said "contribute a stadium" (not "contribute to a stadium") and "billionaire" (not "billionaire owner"), and Kaszuba left off the last part: "... who could pay for it all himself."
Also, Bagley's response seems more on point than Urdahl's memory of it suggested.
Actually Nick, maybe you're not a Stribber...
because, while you're on the other side of the issue, you're just as biased as Souhan. Your last sentence...."Intelligence is not part of the discussion"...is very telling. When it comes down to it, the matter is simply a choice of how much you value having an NFL team in this market. It has nothing to do with "intelligence". I can understand every aspect of this debate and decide I want to pay the price.And, even though I'm personally anti-stadium, for you to suggest those who want a staium are unintelligent is pretty condescending and disrespectful.
Actually nothing, Jack....
You miss a huge distinction: As a columnist, you are supposed to have a viewpoint. As a journalist, you are not supposed to have a conflict of interest that greatly affects that point of view...
Yes, I am opposed to public financing for the most profitable pro sports league in the world. Just as much as Souhan might support it. But Souhan makes his living -- a rather nice one -- sitting in the NFL's press boxes and stringing NFL press releases into "columns." He needs the Vikings. So does the Strib, which may entirely be able to wipe out its residual debt, thus making the paper much more attractive to new owners, if the stadium comes to pass and the Strib unloads its otherwise almost worthless real estate. So here's the deal, Jack: Viewpoints opposed to a stadium deal have been suppressed, and rarely even appear in the Strib. While pro-stadium editorials and Jock-ocracy columns flow freely. The result is not only to mute, or dampen a real discussion. It is to tilt the "debate" almost totally in favor of the Strib's -- and Souhan's -- self-interests. That ain't journalism. That is propaganda.
A fish stinks from the head.
Viking Stadium
So someone is going to pay Zygi $1.2 billion for the Vikings, you know he is NOT going to give it away. And the new owner is going to move to LA and NOT collect Naming Rights, Suites, Concessions, advertising and PSL income. They better have really deep pockets, really deep. The Emperor has NO clothes.
I realize Mr. Souhan is a
I realize Mr. Souhan is a columnist and not a reporter but this is a glaring example of why sportswriters should recuse themselves from writing on the stadium issue and allow it to be covered by the newsroom. Sportswriters are going to favor stadium building. It's that simple. It's their life, job, bread and butter to have more sports, more facilities, etc. The stadium bill continues to fail not because people are dumb, but because the presented legislation is incomplete and leaves taxpayers as the "back-up plan" in case revenue streams fail. Bring forth some meaningful legislation and Mr. Souhan (who gets into the games for free and eats his food for free) can have his shiny new stadium.
Yet another great cultural contribution from sports
I remind everyone that the whole "Shock Jock" genre started on sports radio. A couple weeks ago we had Soucheray blowing insults at local artists: http://www.girlmeetsgeek.com/2012/04/01/swing-away-soucheray/ and now this from Souhan. You're never going to get quality discourse from blowhards with no integrity, and put blowhards with no integrity in front of microphones at your own peril.
OK, you're changing the point.
If you'd have mentioned "ethics" or "conflict of interest", I'd concur. But the word you used was "intelligence". Souhan's article seemed to imply that only idiots could oppose a stadium. I took your remark about intelligence to reach the same conclusion about those who support a stadium. Actually, anyone's view only requires them to have all the facts, then apply their own judgment. I've been a huge Vikings fan since sitting in the Met's right field bleachers as a kid. But that doesn't mean I'm willing to contribute what they want to get a stadium, even if it means they'll leave. People can agree or disagree with me without regard to intelligence.
Stadium IQ
Jack: I have been writing on this topic for years, and blogging, too. My remarks about intelligence --and ethics -- apply to the StarTribune, its managers, and editors. It is their decisions that have left intelligence mostly out of the discussion. p.s. I DID mention the Strib's glaring conflict of interest in my remarks, rather extensively, in fact.
To answer the question posed in the headline ...
Not dumb: Dean Urdahl.
Dumb: _______ (Position reserved for Jim Souhan, barring a public apology.)
Dumber: The hundred-plus sheep who posted comments supporting Souhan without checking the facts themselves.
Dumbest: The stadium backers who posted anti-Urdahl comments even after they knew (or should have known) that Souhan had missed the mark so badly (putting it mildly).
Doesn't Souhan really need to say something?
As far as I can tell, as of Friday afternoon Souhan has not said anything publicly about this, even though he has Tweeted in the past 24 hours about important things like Delmon Young baserunning mistakes. Wouldn't it seem rather important if he wants to maintain any professional credibility at all that he say something - either defending what he did or, you would hope, apologizing for a mistake that makes him look absolutely terrible?
The public face of this stadium push just keeps getting uglier. Stadium pushers are really nasty. They think Minnesota is worthless except for the Vikings. If they slid a stadium through at some point without this struggle, I wouldn't have thought much about it. But having been exposed to the real thoughts of Vikings fans like Souhan about political processes and the people's voice in their government, I will definitely vote against all politicans supporting the stadium and cease to patronize the Vikings' biggest advertisers.
Maybe not dumb, but selfish and ignorant
This game of Three Card Monty they call a stadium plan is entirely based on fabricated or exaggerated claims. Mondale lied to our faces, he testified that the Vikings are currently losing money at the dome. Economically this is nothing but an entitlement program for an out of state billionaire, the largest public subsidy for a private company in the history of MN, and it's going to a company that will not create a single new job, and employs a handful of people year-round.
Maybe a dumb person would believe that the Vikings are a huge economic asset with their whopping $12 million a year contribution to our $267 billion dollar economy, but I get the impression that most supporters just don't care about the facts. It's the dishonesty that bugs me. OK, so you like football and you want us to build you a new stadium so you can keep watching the Vikings. Don't pretend it's anything more than that. Souhan only embarrasses himself when he tries to bring intelligence into the discussion.
Disappointed in Souhan
I usually like Souhan's work, but this was so furiously wrong that he needs to be called out on it again and again until he acknowledges his foolishness. #1 I'm an avid DFLer, but know Republican Urdahl to be a good and in-fact erudite and educated member of the Legislature. #2 His question WAS the baseline question that needs to be answered for the public -- and even for the supporters so they can justify their vote. #3 Journalism has gotten better at checking "facts" given out by politicians, but now politicians should have an avenue to CORRECT the irresponsiblity of reporters who guess -- wrongly -- at the facts and slander someone who is doing his job well, as Urdahl was. C'mon Souhan -- do the right thing and apologize!

Bishop warns of growing Islamic extremism in Indonesia
October 11, 2011
An Indonesian bishop has warned about the growing presence of extremist Islam in Indonesia--the nation with the greatest number of Muslims.
"Increasingly it is being demanded that Church schools offer Islamic religious instruction as soon as a few Muslim students are enrolled," said Bishop Hubertus Leteng of Ruteng. Muslim-Christian tensions, he went on to say, are "characterized more by economic segmentation and ethnic rivalries and have more to do with the political system than with the nature of Islam itself."
3% of the nation's 228.5 million people are Catholics, according to Vatican statistics. 6% are Protestant, and 86% are Muslim.

Unfortunately, it's _not_ that easy. in fact, what happens is that the mount code does a namei() on the "device node" argument and on the "mount point" argument, and in the process manages to try to "lock against itself." The same bug exists in SunOS (4.1.?), ULTRIX (4.2, i think), and a bunch of other systems, though on at least the former, it simply hangs the system, rather than panic'ing. (i was surprised to note that it _doesn't_ happen on DEC OSF/1, now a.k.a. DEC UNIX). The fix is non-trivial, but i'm aware of people who are working on things which are leading in the right direction. 8-) later, chris

Vero Classical Ballet's Pre-Professional Program for ages 6 and up is based on the world-renowned Vaganova Method which has produced such famous dancers as Baryshnikov, Makarova, Nureyev, Ulanova, and many more. While the Vaganova technique is our principal teaching method, VCB does not use it to the exclusion of others (i.e. Balanchine, Bournonville, etc).
Besides teaching an illustrious method with a proven track record, VCB believes that there are other important attributes to excellence in training dancers. VCB focuses on the students' strengths while teaching them to overcome their weaknesses. Additionally, since classical ballet is a performance art form, we strive to give the students stage time in addition to their rigorous training. Students in the Pre-Professional Program will have the opportunity to perform variations and pas de deux from the classical repertoire.


text: I got a phone call from a friend, and the person who was very instrumental in expediting the process of getting water back in the Beds. A very articulate letter was written Jan. 1st to Betsy Price imploring the need to bring back water to the Village Creek Drying Beds. It was passed on to Steve Nutter of Ft. Worth Water Dept. and on January 5th, the water began flowing. It is understood why it was not completed the first time it was turned on, as the Ft. Worth Water Dept. had a contractual obligation to golf courses, and ran into problems. We may now enjoy birding the Beds once again, thanks to the powers that be, and a certain pro-active proponent of getting this going again! The ducks are back. I went last night to witness at sunset, and the habitat is almost restored to its former glory. Cheers, Maria Panagopoulos

If a nurse want to stay home and work rather than go out in the field, there are positions in case management and medical transcription that are available. There are also attorneys that hire registered nurses to extract information from charts that are related to malpractice lawsuits.
If_teaching is your niche, there are opportunities to hold clinics for patients that are in need of some basic education for a new or existing condition.
Schools that hire nurses need backup people to call when their school nurse is ill or out of work for a few days. This is a low stress position as a rule and can give you the opportunity to keep your hands in the profession.
Travel nursing offers some possibilities as well. The adjustment to a new hospital or clinical setting may not be something you would wish to deal with, but it will give you the opportunity to travel around the country. You have the opportunity to visit family and friends that you would not otherwise be able to afford to visit. It is an all expense paid trip to wherever you want to go. Lodging is also provided for travel nurses. Most of the contracts are for three months, but extension is often available if that is what you choose to do.
Most of the travel nurse positions are in acute care facilities, so this may be something about which you would want to think twice.
Perhaps you want to stay in an acute care facility, but not on a regular basis. PRN positions are available for times when the census increases and there is a staffing shortage. You have the ability to set your own times to be available.

Vector Index
We retrieve values in a vector by declaring an index inside a single square bracket "[]" operator.
For example, the following shows how to retrieve a vector member. Since the vector index is 1-based, we use the index position 3 for retrieving the third member.
Unlike other programming languages, the square bracket operator returns more than just individual members. In fact, the result of the square bracket operator is another vector, and s[3] is a vector slice containing a single member "cc".
Negative Index
If the index is negative, it would strip the member whose position has the same absolute value as the negative index. For example, the following creates a vector slice with the third member removed.
Out-of-Range Index
If an index is out-of-range, a missing value will be reported via the symbol NA.

Tough times for oyster farmers
Recent flooding has meant tough times for oyster farmers.
The oyster farmers of the Bellinger and Kalang rivers haven't been able to harvest since November 2011 and are struggling to survive. The area on the north coast of New South Wales has flooded eleven times in the past four years.
And the farmers are not going to be able to harvest oysters for at least another month after the most recent flood events.
Liz Keen heads out on the river with oyster farmer John Lindsay.

It seems I have come down with a case of Olympic Fever to go with my busted ankle this weekend! I think a lot of Brits, including myself, were growing sick of hearing about the games during the run up, by which I mean the past 8 months or so. I just felt kinda like I was being force fed all this marketing mumbo jumbo left right and centre. But as I said yesterday, now that it's here I love it! Although equally, I will be happy for the country to resume normal service when the excitement is passed.
I've made a Union Jack Nail Art Tutorial (which will be up a little later today) and as soon as I'd finished that one nail I wanted to do more and more so I picked up some crazy colours and just committed!
I used Barry M White as a base on every nail. The extra colours, from thumb to pinky, are:
Cult Nails – Manipulative and Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear – Green With Envy
GOSH – Pool Party and Cult Nails – Tulum
Barry M -Gold Foil and Sinful Colors – I Love You
L'Oreal – Unnamed Red and No7 – Pool Party with Barry M – Red Glitter
Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear – Sun Kissed and BYS – Pink Panic

Photos: Neon Indian at the Fonda Theatre
Kevin Bronson on
Alan Palomo, aka Neon Indian, threw a midweek dance party with a Saturday night kind of energy on Wednesday at the Fonda Theatre. Playing behind his latest album "Vega Intl. Night School," Palomo and his band started late but partied hard, matching the revved-up crowd's energy. The set leaned heavily on the new record, which came out in October, including the big singles "Annie," "Slumlord" and "The Glitzy Hive." Also from the new album: "Dear Skorpio Magazine," "Slumlord's Release," "C'est la vie" and, to close the show, "News From the Sun."

I've been trying to confirm things to meet the demands of the paper, and I can't get anyone inside the Stars to say on or off the record that Richards has a broken wrist.
Their official stance is ``upper body injury'' and they will re-evaluate tomorrow. However, TSN is reporting a broken wrist, and I believe they are right. If you watched Richards go into the boards on the hit from Voracek, he twisted his wrist very awkwardly. Now, how bad is the break and how long is he out? I'm not sure on that. I guess we'll find out Tuesday.
I will say that I believe the Stars will study calling up Tom Wandell from Timra in Sweden. Wandell, 22, played in Iowa (AHL) last season and would have been in North America this year if the Stars had an AHL affiliate. However, with Dallas sending players all over the place, they decided Wandell would do well with a year in Sweden. He has 14 goals and 23 assists (37 points) in 43 games for Timra. He also is plus-13.
In addition, Steve Ott, Joel Lundqvist and Brian Sutherby can all play center.
So we'll see what happens on Tuesday. The easy answer could just be moving Sutherby or Ott to center and calling up Chris Conner.
I don't believe the Stars will pursue a trade. They simply are hard against their internal budget and believe that they can find answers for the majority of their problems from within. They are looking at options, but I do not believe they will be a big player at the trade deadline.

Calhoun plans to start Daniels against Notre Dame
Updated 11:26 pm, Thursday, January 12, 2012
STORRS -- The revolving door at small forward just keeps spinning: After two consecutive starts for Niels Giffey, freshman DeAndre Daniels will be back in the starting lineup when No. 17 UConn visits Notre Dame on Saturday at 11 a.m. (ESPN2).
So far, coach Jim Calhoun has tried three different players -- Daniels, Giffey and Roscoe Smith -- at that position. Not one has consistently produced.
Credit some of that to the emergence of freshman Ryan Boatright, who often teams with Shabazz Napier and Jeremy Lamb in a three-man backcourt.
"We are better offensively (with Boatright) -- no questions," Calhoun said.
Latest Sports Video
On the other end of the court, though, the three-guard lineup creates some issues.
"We just aren't as good a rebounding team with the three guards in there," Calhoun said. "Secondly, there's no tangible way you can say it, but Ryan at 5-foot-10 and DeAndre at 6-foot-7, 3-point defense is going to be less, shot blocking is going to be less. We give some to get some."
And lately, the Huskies haven't been getting much from Smith, Daniels or Giffey. They've individually reached double-figures a total of four times the entire season. In Big East play, they're combining to average 9.2 points and, more discouragingly, 4.4 rebounds per game.
Smith could see more minutes Saturday, but most likely at the power forward spot. Tyler Olander, the first big man off the bench, has missed the past two practices with a right heel injury.
"Roscoe has looked very good in practice," Calhoun said. "If we were playing today, which we're not, Roscoe would be the next big guy off the bench."

Memory Foam Mattress Ranking
As we wind down 2012 in the ever evolving mattress industry, it is time to reflect on the good, bad, and ugly in the memory foam category. Here are my rankings for the "S" brands (yes, I know one brand starts with a "T'). These rankings are based on my personal observation, as well as customer and salesperson feedback.
1. Tempur-Pedic® – Is still by far the best overall brand. It was always my best selling and least returned brand, and that continues to be the case. The line has been extended to the point that anyone can afford them, and there are now enough comfort options to accommodate just about any body shape, size, or comfort preference.

So running in the bush at night hey?!
I've heard of these crazy people running through Aussie national parks at night; however never thought I'd dare to try it myself. There are a few fair reasons I stay in when it gets dark in Australia – the most venomous spiders and snakes are inhabiting Australia. Moreover, the number of getting lost in the bush English backpackers doesn't make me feel any easier about night bush walking.
This is it. I got it all wrong. Of course, bush walking and bush wondering can be dangerous. Bush running is the answer (giggling).
As you'd probably know I've joined a bunch of crazy trail runners in Northern Beaches who come together every Sunday to conquer a new trail, bush around through more known tracks and have fun socializing. Although I've only started trail running about a year ago I feel like I've been doing it for my entire life – it feels incredibly right.
Last Sunday 20 brave Trailblazers took me through some unknown to me Manly Dam's tracks followed by a quick and cozy brunch at the Wakehurst Golf Club accompanied by two kookaburras hungrily watching us. If you are around, swing by – stunning views from this very nice pub.
It was our Christmas themed run so a few runners were dressed appropriately – I regretted not introducing Grandpa The Cold, The Russian Santa to the clueless group. Well, let's keep it Australian in this case, shall we (giggling).
While sharing a few beacon and eggs rolls after the Xmas trail blaze, one of the group's leaders talked about exploring new tracks the following night. I thought to myself: "Whaaaat? New tracks? At night?"
Next day, excited and not very well prepared I was at the Seaforth Oval waiting for the running 'reindeers' to conquer my first ever night trail run.
Australian news are soaked with the stories of people going for a bush walk and never coming back. These people get lost under the Sun all the time. You can imagine how nervous I was. Moreover, a few years ago (in the early 90s) Ivan Milat, a well known serial killer, was inhabiting the Belanglo State Forest offering local backpackers a lift never delivering one of course. On top of that, Australian bush is a home to venomous spiders, snakes and I am scared of darkness. You get the picture!
We took off a little after 8pm and it got pitch black at around 9pm (I wasn't checking my watch as I didn't want to take my eyes of the trail not even for 1 second). My borrowed head torch went off about half an hour into the run. The trailblazers spotted me with another one (well prepared!) and we continued the trip.
I will go as far as saying that it was the best run I've ever had. It was tough. It was picturesque (despite the fact it was pitch black). It was fun. It was adventurous. It made me feel like I had an adrenaline shot and I just had to run as fast as I could. A few guys ran off despite the detailed technicality of the course (magic runners!). We had a few seriously steep hills, numerous descending stairs, one robe climb, a few short dirt bike roads jogs and single path swirling bush tracks I am absolutely in love with.
Running at night requires some serious focus in order to come home in one piece. Apart from good eyes I'd recommend really good torch (better two or three with you!) – it is dark out there. Close your eyes for a moment – this is how dark it gets in the bush (giggling).
I will certainly be researching into head torches and devote a post of two on how I go. I will also be looking into trail shoes to stop myself from slipping in my falling apart road runners. I am considering extra support for my ankles; however I am persuaded that my legs will get used running on the trail reducing my ankles soreness. I must say quitting road running sorted my knees problem, my shins are also painless. My new challenge is to stop twisting my ankles while trail running and focus a little bit on calves and ankles during my leg training days. If you are still unsure of running at night, don't hesitate – find a few partners in crime and head to the bush!

On Friday 26 November 2010, 8:27
NZ Oil & Gas has on Friday provided the balance of a $NZ25 million ($A19.41 million) short term funding facility to Pike River Coal.
Since September $NZ13 million ($A10.09 million) of the facility had been drawn by Pike River to meet operating costs at its West Coast mine.
Following the first explosion last Friday at the Pike River mine, where 29 men died, NZOG said it was advised that the outstanding loan was repayable and that it had no legal obligation to advance any further money, NZOG said on Friday.
The NZOG board resolved that it would not seek immediate repayment and that it would honour the spirit of the agreement and make the remaining $NZ12 million ($A9.32 million) available. That sum was transferred to Pike River on Friday morning.
NZOG, which has a 29 per cent stake in Pike River, said it had also agreed to extend the repayment date from December 15 to February 28 and to defer interest payments that would otherwise be due until that time.
NZOG chief executive David Salisbury said NZOG had always managed its investment in Pike River with the best interests of NZOG shareholders in mind.
"This decision was taken because there are sound business reasons for honouring our earlier funding commitment," Mr Salisbury said.
"It is also the right moral decision. During this difficult time, the mine company's workforce needs to know it can still be paid."
NZOG also holds $US28.9 million ($A29.48 million) in secured convertible bonds. It has agreed to a 90-day standstill period for the bonds, including deferred payment of interest.

Republican challenger Mitt Romney held a 1 percentage point lead over President Barack Obama in today's Reuters/Ipsos daily tracking poll in a presidential race that is effectively a dead heat less than two weeks before Americans vote.
In a repeat of yesterday's results, Mr Romney led the president among likely voters by 47 per cent to 46 per cent, a statistically insignificant margin, in the four-day online tracking poll.
With both candidates barnstorming the key battleground states of Ohio, Florida, and Virginia today, 13 per cent of registered voters and 30 per cent of independents said their vote remains up for grabs in the November 6th election.
Later today, Mr Obama is flying to his hometown, Chicago, where he will become the first president to cast an early-vote ballot.
Earlier today, former US secretary of state Colin Powell today endorsed Barack Obama's bid for re-election, citing the Democratic president's efforts to wind down the war in Afghanistan and tackle terrorism as well as an improving US economy.
"I think we ought to keep on the track that we are on," the Republican, who also backed Obama in 2008, told CBS This Morning. He added, "I voted for him in 2008 and I plan to stick with him in 2012."
Mr Powell, who served in three Republican administrations, credited Mr Obama with stabilising the economy as it teetered on the brink of a depression. "We've come out of the dive and we're starting to gain altitude," Powell said. "There are lots of problems still out there," he said. "But I see that we are starting to rise up."
On national security, Mr Obama's actions "protecting us from terrorism have been very, very solid," Mr Powell said.
The president and Bill Clinton will campaign together next week in three of the most competitive battleground states.
Mr Obama and the former president will hold rallies on Monday in Florida, Ohio and Virginia. Their appearances will kick off the final full week of campaigning before Election Day.
While Mr Clinton has been an active supporter of the president, Mr Obama's campaign is ramping up his role in the election's final days.
Mr Clinton is featured in a new campaign advertisement out this week, where he argues that Mr Obama's "got it right" with his economic agenda.
Monday's stops will be the first joint rallies the two presidents have held together during the 2012 campaign.
Last night, Mr Obama appeared with late-night TV talk show host Jay Leno adding some serious comments to an interview full of jokes about marriage, Halloween and other topics.
Addressing a Republican Senate candidate's assertion that pregnancies resulting from rape are intended by God, Mr Obama said: "I don't know how these guys come up with these ideas. Let me make a very simple proposition: rape is rape. It is a crime."
"This is exactly why you don't want a bunch of politicians, mostly male, making decisions about women's healthcare," he told NBC's The Tonight Show.
Indiana Republican Senate candidate Richard Mourdock's comments that pregnancies caused by rape are "something God intended to happen" echoed across the US media and sent ripples through political circles ahead of the November 6th election.
The Obama campaign, which enjoys leads among women voters in many election battleground states, sought swiftly to connect Mr Mourdock with Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
This summer Mr Romney had to distance himself from remarks by another Republican Senate candidate, Todd Akin of Missouri, about what he called "legitimate rape."
Asked about the so-called fiscal cliff - a combination of automatic spending cuts and tax hikes set to kick in early next year – Mr Obama said he was confident that a solution could be found before the end of the year.
"Solving this is not that hard. It requires some tough choices," Mr Obama said, adding that some programs had to be cut and tax rates should go up for people making more than $250,000 a year.
"I hope that we can get it done by the end of this year. It just requires some compromise, which shouldn't be a dirty word."
On the economic crisis gripping the European Union, Mr Obama said countries have been "kind of muddling along" and "they didn't respond as quickly as they could."
The United States is working with those nations to make sure they have a credible plan to maintain the unity of Europe, he added.
In a lighter moment, Mr Obama joked about real estate mogul and TV personality Donald Trump, who recently posted a video challenging Obama to release documents about his education.

Mr Trump has persistently questioned whether Mr Obama, a native of Hawaii, was actually born in the United States, and Mr Obama played off Trump's theories about his origins.

"This all dates back to when we were growing up together in Kenya," Mr Obama joked. "We had, you know, constant run-ins on the soccer field. He wasn't very good and resented it."

9 million by Blizzard (which actually means 5.5 million without lies).
Based on http://wow.realmpop.com/
EU: 2,921,261 Characters from level 86-90 (many of them alts, and some of them already unsubbed)
US: 2,663,053 Characters from level 86-90 (many of them alts, and some of them already unsubbed)

I predict that me and all my friends will still be subscribed and that nothing else will matter.
So you are only counting people that are level 86 or higher, have posted an auction or are guilded as subscribers?How - To get the list of characters for a realm, first we record all the characters who posted to the auction house. Then we fetch and record their guild rosters. This should cover the majority of characters on a realm. To avoid getting listed, a character must never post to the auction house, and never belong to a guild where a guild member posts to the auction house.
Same as always.
Increase in subs, must be Blizzard lying, or increase in gold sellers, players were "fooled" into returning for MoP or whatever.
Steady: same as above, but it's because the loss of "real" subs is equal to the gain in "bots/goldsellers/chinese" subs
Loss: SEE SEE SEE PANDAS SUCK PEOPLE HATE IT MY REALM USED TO HAVE X NOW ITS Y PLAYERS AND MY GUILD HAS DWINDLED FANBOYS DEFENDING THE GAME HAHAHA ENJOY UR DYING GAME
Me? I expect a loss around half a million tops. 300k maybe. It doesn't matter how good expansions are when a game is this old. It doesn't attract new players anywhere close to it did when it was new. Keyword: NEW. Hopefully most of the sub losses is mostly those who couldn't adapt to the changes from the 2h/week 4.3 bore-fest
Personally I see no correlation between subs and my gameplay experience. But it's nice whenever the numbers shut the quitters up for a moment. But I'd be living in a fantasy if I thought WoW will last forever.

Unless you're an investor, or looking to invest into Blizzard, the subscriber numbers mean nothing to you.
Personally, I think they'll dip a bit as with what always happens after an expansion.

All comments are my own personal views & opinions.
Loss of Subs = Redesigns, to bring people back or into it. If there is a loss of subs it means there is something wrong with the game that needs to be addressed. Loss of subs is what brought us things like SoR and Annual Sub with bonuses (These are examples).
Despite what people may or may not want to believe, Blizzard doesn't take a loss in subs lightly when it's a significant number. 500k-1mil is a significant number, and is what I believe has been lost, however I could be wrong and am willing to accept that.
However, if my prediction is correct, expect some changes. They may not be huge changes, but it will contribute to the game.
My Prediciton is based off of:
Amount of low population realms (Despite what people may think, the "Population" listed in the realm selection is relative based on overall population. This is why late at night/early in the morning you will see several normally dead realms listed as "Medium", meanwhile you login and there's roughly 100-300 people on.)
Current State of PvP Balance
Current State of PvE Balance
End game heavily designed around dailies. There are other less rewarding options to get you to the same place at a slower rate.
Rehashing old content over and over again.
Seemingly Uninspired art when it comes to armor/weapons.
These are all examples of reasons why I believe people are leaving, and of course are subjective to the way a player feels. I could be right, however I could be wrong and am not worried if I am.
Personally I think a nice sub loss would be great for the game in the long run, because it will force Blizzard into figuring out where they went wrong and correcting it, possibly bringing this game back on track.
Yes, I currently am a Subscriber of World of Warcraft, yes I can still find some enjoyment out of the game. However I feel as if it's not living up to it's potential these days, and because of that I believe there will be a loss in subs.
"There is a pervasive myth that making content hard will induce players to rise to the occasion. We find the opposite. " -- Ghostcrawler
"Almost every time I have gotten to know a critic personally, they keep up with the criticism but lose the venom." -- Ghostcrawler
"Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome." -- Samuel Johnson
Why not? Because you will never know why people left and what direction they will go.
Let's take feature X and feature Y, you approve of X and hate Y.
Other people, a majority, might have left because they dislike X and love Y.
So what does Blizzard do: They do more with Y and dispose of X, the opposite of what you'd want.
I also really hate some of the things in this game, but I hardly care about a subloss because I can never know if the majority shares my opinion.
Again, if Blizzard focused more on balancing classes in PvP and PvE, they would save a large chunk of the subs.
Yes, you should hope for a loss in subs when the game is going into what you feel is the wrong direction, this why they can steer the ship back on the right course.
Sitting there hoping subs never fall is just like telling someone who is doing something wrong that they are doing a great job. This is what everyone means when they say "Speak with your wallet".

WoW reached 12mil subs in the end of BC and dropped with the launch of WotLK only to reach 12 mil again with the China launch that was in a quarter where they had to announce the numbers so it was at that point official.

Also, for the ones absolutely happy with the current game, I'm happy they are happy. However, I'm not happy with a sub-optimal product.
If I quit, it'll be because I've been playing too long or can't dedicate "enough" time anymore. I got other means to stay in touch with friends in the game.
What I find frustrating is this NEVER ENDING complaints that seem to think that the current is always worse than it was. It's sickening. It spreads negativity often based on rhetoric or false ideas. PvP has always had balance issues. There will always be players frustrated with something. And hey, happy players aren't going to make threads about something they find neat.
Players complaining about dailies take no heed as to why "forced" world interaction is a necessity. Perhaps they started in WLK or Cata and has gotten used to factions being nothing but an uncapped rep bar that they can fill without leaving a city.
No, Blizzard doesn't panic when subs go down. Of course they don't want it, but it's incredibly cynical to attribute sub losses as a sign that the game has taken a wrong turn. 10 million despite being as old as it is. Like it or not, Blizzard is doing things right. But WHATEVER the fuck they implement or focus on, there'll be players there whining about it.
Sub losses are not because of game quality decaying (lol, compare raids from 5-6 years ago to today) but mostly because there's not a single gamer who still hasn't tried out WoW if he or she had any interest. Classics success was based on lack of competition and it being WARCRAFT. Burning Crusade had ILLIDAN and it was the FIRST EXPANSION.
The flow of new players has decreased steadily, as anyone with a bit of common sense can understand is not based upon quality, but age.
There will never be an end to the complaints. There's no end to the muppets who's going to attribute sub losses that has a myriad of reasons to whatever feature THEY feel has declined. I can understand why most devs don't spend time on the forums, if they did they'd might get the idea a majority of the current players aren't enjoying the game. Or that everything they work on is just bad. Forum mentality.
Personally I hope every spoiled 4.3 2h-cap brat has left the game. The game sure won't be worse without them.
It's bad enough that they managed to whine enough that Blizzard is going to implement a capped championing system in 5.2, that risks making the world once again obsolete.

Everyone gets to decide what's worth what to them. That's the whole point.
And that's when people decide they're worth a whole helluva lot!
by Dragavon » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:52 pm
Yeah, but in a thread specifically for Action Comics discussion, you are going on about how Image Comics is a better value, etc. How about you make a separate thread for that?
Back to the matter at hand, I loved this issue. Whereas Morrison soured me on Batman completely, he's made me Superman fan to the point that I will read this as long as he's on board and I will pick up the Superman title once Giffen takes over.
by Windom URL » Thu Oct 06, 2011 8:56 pm
Because Punchy likes to chat with me, I guess. And I'll post wherever I feel like it. When someone is responding to me about what I said an hour and a half ago and the conversation wasn't including you, was is it to you anyway? Did you miss the part about the writer we're talking about writing upcoming backup stories for Action Comics? How about you take your douchey attitude elsewhere?
by Dragavon » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:02 pm
It was just a suggestion. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.
by Windom URL » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:06 pm
It's just that we were clearly done talking about that, at the beginning of the thread a couple hours ago. And when Punchy is asking me to justify what I was saying at the time, it's hardly "going on about it". I was just offering up a comparison anyway.
But everyone here seems to want to decide what other people should or shouldn't post today, I guess.
"Why don't you change your thread title?"
"Why don't you go post in another thread?"
by alaska1125 » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:19 pmUm...ok. I thought this was about as good as a Superman book could get (All-Star Superman not withstanding). I'm in for the long haul. My only hope is that Morales can keep up, but that's not looking promising.
by Dragavon » Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:25 pm
Brent Anderson filled in some pages in this issue. Supposedly he will be the alternating artist for this series.

If he is a regular back-up, I've got no problem with that at all.
by guitarsmashley » Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:10 pmcareer artwork it is not. Rags is not bringing any thing good to this book right now. Identity Crisis was so much better looking than this book. Also I liked the Braniac tease.
by xaraan » Fri Oct 07, 2011 12:21 amI'm interested to see how this ties into 'present day' superman and how his personality will end up being different because of his world introduction. A lot of the 52 books seem like the same stuff with little things here and there changed just to try and shake off the burden of continuity, but Superman actually seem pretty different.
by Juan Cena » Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:25 am
Action-wise it's cool. But his dialogue seems like it's straight out of the 60's Batman TV series - and not from any of the good parts, either.
Something like "Sure, officer I'll put him down...just as soon as he makes a full confession. To someone who still believes the law works the same for rich and poor alike. Because that ain't Superman." sounded really clunky and forced. It came off as being a little more pretentious than earnest, which Supes really needs to sound a little more like.
Now, maybe that was a little intentional, with Supes supposedly acting more detached and alien, but it just came off sounding fake.
by Juan Cena » Fri Oct 07, 2011 1:35 am
I like Morrison's Batman better. His Bruce isn't as much of an @$$, but still has a touch of the Batd!ckery in him. He has a bit of a trickster in him too. You see that when he's out and about as Bruce, or like when he was spreading rumors about himself online.
by 48THRiLLS » Fri Oct 07, 2011 3:14 amNever been a huge fan of Superman, this is the only new 52 book that I am reading and I am really enjoying it.
by Punchy » Fri Oct 07, 2011 4:50 am
I think this looks better than Identity Crisis, but that may be because the story is 10 times better.

Sometimes I watch an old Hollywood classic and I'm like, "erm honey he's been staring at your pointy tatters for like an hour and a half, why don't you just hurry up and black'n'white feltch-huff his ass already, it's a blooming inevitability", but then that's much more 'Buttsex With Tiffany' than 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' and anyway feltching was probably called something much more demure back then like "POPPY-TRINKLING" or "chiming the dinner bell" or something.
Well collage photographer Eli Craven also got a little impatient with the silver screen suspense and so took to crease-kissing and blowing and hugging the leading loves, the results of which turned out quite beautiful and just a tad human-centipedey.
"As I looked through them, I really wanted to see them come together, touch lips, make love, whatever comes next, so I started folding them into one another."
You can peak amongst the folds after the jump, just don't unfold them, they are stuck down with poppy-trinkle artist's adhesive goop!

Well i have dated skinny girls and curvy girls, i like big bottoms, but i also like like skinny girls because they are fun to hug and stuff, but if i like the girl doesnt really matter what her body shape is, but i do have a limit, i mean i still need to be attracted to them, lol
hahaha there are a bunch of guys who are attracted to as they say ( BBW ) unless your a guy, than idk what to tell you, but if you are a girl search it on facebook or something you will find a few pages about it, you may also meet a nice fello, just be careful though never know who your meeting over the net :P
lol well than, you may not know it, but there is probably a guy in your town that is crazy about you, you just pay no attention to him going after the ( hot ) ones, alot of women i know do that, search for a good guy, without realizing the only good one is the one they do not wish to talk too, so keep your eyes open you will spot him lol
Its not just the body. Personality plays a big part as well.
More so for younger people. Personality compatibility is a lot more crucial when you're older because you have the intention of "settling down" in mind, and essentially finding a partner for life.
Obviously this isn't the case for everyone.

Tapa Recipe: Morcilla and Goat Cheese Pie
If you asked me to list my top five favorite foods or beverages to consume in Spain, morcilla, goat cheese and red wine would make the list for sure. Morcilla is a spicy blood sausage. There are many types of blood sausage all called morcilla, but the most common and best is morcilla de León or morcilla de Burgos, which consists of pig meat, pig blood, pig lard, rice, onion and spices stuffed into pig intestine. The blood makes it jet black.
Recently, my wife came across a recipe for individual serving pies containing morcilla, red wine and goat cheese. When she mentioned it to me, I darted out to the store to buy the ingredients. Last Sunday, we made them. Needless to say, they were quite rich. Here's the recipe:

Motivated Moms Printable Planner
The past six weeks has given me the opportunity to review the printable eBook version of the Motivated Moms planner, specifically from the Motivated Moms Ebooks. This has been a neat experience. Motivated Moms is a "unique and straightforward chore planning system is for moms who are trying to balance creative endeavors with their desire to have an orderly and organized environment in their homes." – See more at: http://schoolhousereviewcrew.com/motivated-moms-review/ While I didn't know about the planner in time to get it into my personalized planner that I bound this year, in future years I definitely could as well as recommend it to others. When I first started reading about the planners available, I really wanted to get the app for my Kindle Fire, but alas while that one is available for purchase it was not in the line up of what we were reviewing, however the iOS app was, yet at. . .

Yeah, currently my understanding of where we are at: - Dennis is asking RHEL folks if there is now, or is going to be a "Productivity" channel for RHEL6 server. If there is, we can use this as we do in EPEL5 buildroots. That way everything works and everyone can install things fine. - If there isn't going to be such a channel, we are in a bit of a mess. We can do: a) Just say EPEL is sever only. Sorry workstation people. ;( b) We can try and use both server/workstation to build against. However, this means that some packages will require BOTH channels, and if you have a workstation you can't install something that needs a package from server and vice versa. c) Do what you were suggesting and import only those workstation packages we need to build/use our EPEL packages. However, this means we are shipping a RHEL workstation rpm to server people, which might get RHEL folks mad and want them to get a Workstation entitlement, etc. d) Scrap everything when centos6 comes out and build against that. ;) e) Your clever idea here. So, we are mostly waiting right now to hear about the questions about productivity. Sorry it's been a pain. kevin

I miss the times when cartoon shows were both entertaining and highly educational, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? was such a show. As a kid I had a bit of a thing for Carmen with her red coat, hat, and long black hair. She was good example of sex appeal that made boys like myself want to watch the series and in the process learn a lot about history. Hell, Carmen Sandiego even helped me pass a few history tests back in elementary school.
Debuting on February 5, 1994, we find Acme agent Carmen Sandiego has gone rogue and the player (outside the computer game) ends up creating two detectives to go after her. Ivy and Zack are a brother and sister team bent on seeing Carmen behind bars.
With the CHIEF (Computerized Holographic Imaging Educational Facilitator) helping Zack and Ivy around the world to catch the famous thief we learn about very real world history. By far this show is the most educational out of all the shows I watched as a kid and to this day is a great watch. Carmen taught me that even though she may be a thief, she is an excellent teacher, and has one hell of a catchy theme song. Give this show a watch, the episodes are all over YouTube!

The best voice recorder I've found for lengthy dictation and recording meetings. Change the interface and sell it as a business app. Better than other

Soooo nice! Set recording levels automatically or boost low levels. More great features too and even works on my old G1 running 1.6 OS.
