© St. Petersburg Times, published December 29, 2002
One day in the early 1970s I walked into the print shop of the newspaper where I was working and asked one of the guys working there why he was watching television.
"It's a computer," he said.
Little did I know it was the beginning of a series of events that would lead to me sitting up until the early morning hours mumbling about packing slips, order numbers and customer numbers and, intermittently, screaming into a telephone mouthpiece, "I don't want to press 4, damn it, I want to start getting my misdirections from a human being!"
Until Al Gore took time off from being a role model for romance writers and invented the Internet, computers remained pretty much the purview of journalists and other geeks, and the first several that I used could only be used for writing, but, as we all know, that changed.
When we finally got the real deal at work, we were encouraged to play with it and use it as a means of developing sufficient skills to use it for research so we would stop bugging our librarians.
And it didn't take me long to master the basic skills of chat, online shopping and research into just about anything except hate Web sites or those involving dirty pictures.
But I knew, as retirement approached, that the day was coming for me to go ahead and buy my own computer. I held out as long as I could, hoping they would be outlawed or something, but the lure of easy banking, having printed copies of hotel reservations and being able to communicate without having to look for a stamp or shell out an arm and a leg for a phone call, finally won out.
Since my wife was job-hunting at the time, I did the manly thing and bought the computer as a gift for her so I can still claim I don't own one.
A young computer-literate friend helped me order what I wanted online, and I was amazed at the speed with which nearly a thousand bucks made it from my checking account into the account of the company whose front man begins all of his sentences with, "Dude!"
I can only assume that the company's rebate process was designed by someone who probably talks the same way.
I'm not sure I understand the rebate thing anyhow.
It's a lot like those cards the grocery and retail store chains want you to carry so that you can "save" money when you shop at their stores, when what they really mean is that what is represented is the amount they will overcharge you if you don't have their card. Why, I wonder, can't they just charge you a fair price and keep their cards. I already have two wallets overflowing with grocery cards, music store cards, bookstore cards, service station discount cards and business cards from people I can't remember having ever met.
I'm sure there is some reason to sell somebody something and then put them through administrative and call-sorting hell just to get back the $100 you could have taken off the price up front. I'm sure it is some mystical marketing tool that is beyond my poor ability to comprehend.
I am becoming convinced, however, that at least some of the motivation is that a certain percentage of customers will just get frustrated and disgusted and give up and they can keep the $100 they only grudgingly want to send you.
At this point I have been online or on the telephone for several hours trying to find out how to order the rebate and how to come up with the documents (they neglected to enclose a packing slip) I need to apply for the rebate.
I just recently passed the point where, at an hourly rate based on my salary, I have exceeded the $100 value of the rebate in the number of hours I have spent trying to get it.
I have spoken to two helpful people, one of whom told me how to order the documents online and another who told me I had to print them off the Internet, although the site he sent me to didn't have them.
I couldn't print them anyhow -- I don't have a printer -- but the same company has a dandy rebate offer on printers.
Dude! I'm tired.

Please use the form above to request admissions info for Penn State Harrisburg.
Teaching internships provide the opportunity for current students to gain experience. A teacher's aide works in a classroom setting, under the supervision of an experienced teacher, including a number of weeks leading the classroom. The Praxis Exam, given by the Educational Testing Service, is required for new teachers in most states.
Each school district has particular application procedures in place, so you must know the teacher certification or licensing requirements of the state board of education in the particular state in which you are seeking a teaching position. Schools and other educational organizations may require a curriculum vitae (CV) instead of a resume. A curriculum vitae should be around three to four pages, as compared to a one-page resume. The average annual salary for high school teachers was $57,200, in May 2017, with teaching job growth due to larger class sizes and increasing student enrollment. Beyond consideration for Penn State Harrisburg assistant professors, you may think about University of North Florida finals schedule for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Freya Mansfield, 25, a product manager from south London, became friends with Alex Hoyos, also 25, at university. After a brief relationship they remain good friends.
"We met in the first year at university after being placed in the same halls," she said. "We became really good friends throughout the year, spending most of our time together.
"I then left to have a year placement in Russia and when I returned we picked up our friendship where we had left off.
"As we had the same group of friends we continued to see each other a lot, going out, drinking, dancing and studying together.
"Then one night we kissed and realised that we were more than friends and we had feelings for each other. We started to see more of each other and the relationship lasted for about three months.
"However, we soon realised that we both wanted different things from it. I wanted a more serious relationship, as it was our final year, and there was also the added pressure of exams and an uncertain future after university. We eventually decided that the relationship could not continue.
"We broke up amicably and have remained good friends. Although at first it was hard to go back completely to the way we were before, it did not take long and we continued to see each other regularly.
"I now live quite far away from Alex, but we still manage to meet up every couple of months as we still have a mutual group of university friends and regularly e-mail and text each other."

Several fire engines were dispatched to the scene, but were recalled after officials determined no hazardous cargo was leaking. There are no injuries reported.
Cranes have been brought in to begin setting the cars upright.

Videos coming in from clashes today will be posted here.
Source: Parelment News
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's inauguration ceremony was held amid heavy police and security presence around the Iranian Parliament (Majlis).
All streets leading to Baharestan, where the Majlis is located, were closed off and more than 5,000 police and security officers were on the scene.
Journalists were closely inspected and were asked to show both their press and national ID cards before entering Majlis.
Ahmadinejad arrived at Majlis in a helicopter.
Some of the attendees included, Ali Kordan, Brigadier-General Firouzabadi, Parviz Davoudi, Sadeq Mahsouli, Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei, Sadeq Larijani, Saeed Jalili, Pourmohammadi, Gholam-Hossein Elhamm, Aliabadi, Vaez-Javadi, Brigadier-General Mostafa Mohammad-Najjar (who for the firs time was in civilian attire), Ayatollah Taskhiri, and Mehdi Chamran.
The ceremony was started with a 15-minute delay. The majority of the seats were empty.
The majority of foreign guests and ambassadors invited to the ceremony were no-shows or had sent low-ranking diplomats to the event.
Despite Ali Larijani announcing that athletes, artists, and national figures had been invited to the ceremony, no distinguished figure was present.
The majority of the Reformist minority bloc of Majlis were absent including Tabesh, Hossein Hashemian, Darioush Qanbari, Nariman, Jamshin Ansari and Sazdar.
The Reformist bloc members who attended the ceremony included Peyman Frouzesh, Mehdi Shahriari, Hamid-Reza Pashang, Qodratollah Alikhani, Mostafa Kavakebian, Ahmad-Reza dastgheib, Mehdi Sanayi, Ali-Akbar Olia, Masoud Pezeshkian, Ali-Asghar Yousef-Nejad, Sajjadian, Moqimi, Amini, Khabbaz, Mehdi Pourfatemi, Nasiri and Hossein Hashemi.
Just as in the endorsement ceremony, the head of the Expediency Council and the Assembly of Experts, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, was absent from the inauguration ceremony [swearing-in].
The only member of the governing body of the Assembly of Experts to attend the inauguration ceremony was Mahmoud Hashemi-Shahroudi, who was present as the Judiciary chief.
Only six members of the Assembly of Experts attended the ceremony.
Ali-Akbar Nateq-Nouri, Mohsen Rezaei, Omidvar Rezaei and Mohammad-Baqer Qalibaf along with staunch Ahmadinejad supporters Ayatollah Yazdi and Ahmad Khatami were no-shows.
Hashemi Shahroudi made no mention of the post-vote arrests, the Kahrizak detention center, the deaths-in-detention or street clashes in his speech.
Although all Friday Prayers leaders from across Iran were among the invitees, the majority of them were no-shows.
None of the representatives of the Reformists Parties were present.
Due to the number of empty seats, the Leader's Master of Ceremonies and Brigadier-General Firouzabadi, who are usually seated in the third or second rows, were moved to the front row.
With the start of the inauguration ceremony and despite the heavy presence of security officers and Basij members, sporadic protests broke out around Baharestan. A number of people were detained by plain-clothes officers.
Security forces used teargas to disperse protesters.
A Boys' high school in Baharestan square was used as a temporary detention center where arrested protesters were taken.
All stores in and around Baharestan were closed and plain-clothes individuals were filming protesters.
News items, from Muhammad Sahimi
Haleh Sahabi, daughter of Ezzatollah Sahabi, leader of the Nationalist-Religious Coalition, was arrested at Baharestan square near the Iranian parliament. Eyewitnesses reported that a plainclothes agent attacked her and tried to arrest her. But, the people who were watching the attack rescued her. A few minutes later several plainclothes agents first attacked
people with pepper spray, spraying it directly into their eyes and injuring several of them. They then forcibly separated Ms. Sahabi from her protectors and forced her into a car, where a female agent who was awaiting her locked the door immediately. Eyewitnesses said that several other people were arrested in a similar manner.
Ms. Sahabi, 54, is a feminist activist and a member of the group, Iranian Mothers for Peace, an antiwar group that was formed more than two years ago. Her father, a member of the government of Prime Minister Mahdi Bazargan that was formed after the 1979 Revolution, spent many years in jail, both during the reign of the Shah and over the past three decades after the Revolution. Her grandfather, Dr. Yadollah Sahabi was a major political figure over a 60-year span. He was a close aid and friend of Dr. Mohammad Mosaddegh, Iran's national hero. Together with Mr. Bazargan, the late Ayatollah Sayyed Mahmoud Taleghani, and Dr. Mostafa Chamran (who was the Defense Minister after the Revolution and was killed in the Iran-Iraq war), Dr. Sahabi, who was a professor of geological sciences at Tehran University, founded the Freedom Movement in 1961 to oppose the government of the Shah. He passed away in 2002 at the age of 97.
Mir Hamid Hasan Zadeh, the former director of the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA), and who has served as the editor of Ghalam Sabz, Mir Hossein Mousavi's website, was arrested yesterday.
Hasan Khomeini, the grandson of the founder of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, returned to Tehran today from a trip to Pakistan. It is widely believed that he left the country in order to avoid attending Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's swearing in ceremony. In fact, none of the the Ayatollah's remaining family members attended the ceremony, which is totally unprecedented in Iran.
Shahab Mataaji, the head of Tehran's oil refinary (and a friend of mine at Tehran University), has been arrested. I had received the news about it three weeks ago, but wanted to confirmed it firmly. His charge: apparently trying to organize strikes at the refinery.
Dr. Hashem Aghari, the Islamic scholar, Professor of history at Tarbiyat-e Modarres University, said today that, "if there is going to be a revolution in Iran, I pray that it will be of the velvet type [meaning peaceful and bloodless]. But the way things are going, I am afraid that it will be bloody." Several years ago, Aghajari had criticized the clerics for expecting people to follow them obediently. He was arrested and originally given a death sentence for insulting the Prophet, but the Supreme Court overturned the sentence and conviction.
Center for Islamic Revolution Documents made new accusations today on its website against Shapour Kazemi -- Dr. Zahra Rahnavard (Mir Hossein Mousavi's wife)'s brother, who has been imprisoned for several weeks. It accused Mr. Kazemi of "inappropriate relations" (meaning outside marriage) with a former member of the Mojahedin-e Khalgh Organization, an exiled opposition group. Why a center that is dedicated to collecting and preserving documents about the 1979 Revolution should make such accusations is unclear.
The center is headed by Ruhollah Hoseinian, a hard-liner cleric and supporter of Ahmadinejad, who has been accused of being a participant in many crimes. He was a close friend of Saeed Emami, the mastermind of the infamous Chain Murders in the Fall of 1998, when six dissidents and intellectuals were murdered by agents of Iran's Ministry of Intelligence. Defending Emami and rejecting the charges against him, Hoseinian once said, "I have been a murderer myself. This [manner of murdering dissidents and intellectuals] is not the way things were done."
From Pedestrian: Blogger notes, the following is from, "Press TV! IRIB! State media! ... They're even quoting Parliament News! [a news website representing reformists in Majlis] ... This is very, very suspicious."
Amid a heavy security presence around Parliament blocking out opposition protests as Iran's president takes the oath of office, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad begins his second term.
Nearly two months after the election that sparked mass protests in Iran over its official result, President Ahmadinejad was sworn in on Wednesday.
According to a Press TV correspondent, thousands of security and Basij forces with their motorcycles were present in the areas around Baharestan square, near the Iranian Parliament.
Parliament News reported that more than 5,000 security forces were guarding the downtown block while other reports said officers with sniffer dogs patrolled the area searching for possible bombs.
All shops and businesses in the area were ordered to close. Security forces had cordoned off the neighboring areas near the Majlis hours before the ceremony began, reports said.
In a separate move, Head of Tehran's metro company Jafar Rabiyi said the authorities ordered the trains not to stop at two stops near Parliament -- Baharestan and Mellat stations -- until the end of the inauguration ceremony.
Rabiyi stressed that the move was not due to any technical problems and was only because of the swearing-in ceremony, announcing that the trains would stop at regular stations after the event.
Despite the heavy security presence, opposition supporters held sporadic demonstrations in protest at the inauguration of President Ahmadinejad, who garnered almost two-thirds of the vote, reports said.
Several people were arrested and police used tear gas to disperse demonstrators, according to the reports.
However, Iranian deputy police chief Ahmad-Reza Radan said the inauguration ceremony was held in a peaceful environment.
"Despite mass propaganda by satellite TV channels and foreign media calling on the people to gather in front of Majlis, no illegal protests were held [in the area]," Radan said.
Ahmadinejad's inauguration comes as the opposition continues to reject the election result, maintaining that the vote was "rigged."
Ever since the official announcement of the poll result, Iran has witnessed widespread protests as supporters of defeated presidential candidates Mir-Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi take to the streets to protest "fraud" in the June 12 election.
Meanwhile, Iran's Guardian Council, the body responsible for overseeing the election, has disputed all allegations against the validity of the vote.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, on Monday threw his weight behind Ahmadinejad, formally endorsing the president for a second term.
From Tehran [however, not based on eye-witness account]: A massive security presence has been reported across a wide area. The Basij militia is back on the streets with a vengeance. People came to protest but couldn't really gather anywhere. The Baharestan [metro] station was closed from morning. Kids as young as 13-14 are wearing camouflage waistcoats carrying pickax handles instead of batons -- I mean these kids have not even started shaving.

I'm Rocky, and I was born and raised in North Hollywood, CA. I spent most of my childhood on the Universal backlots following my dad around sets and snatching food off of the craft service tables. When I was a freshmen in high school my mother moved me to Cape Girardeau, MO so I got a taste of small town life, fried fatty foods and 32 oz. sodas, and also fell in love with baseball. Shortly after high school I joined the Navy, where I met the love of my life, Ray, that inspired me to make a change for a healthier and fitter life.
I started my journey to fitness shortly after me and Ray's engagement at my peak weight of 205 pounds. Obesity runs in my family, and I was determined to be the first one to break the cycle before getting married and starting my family.
I didn't have a goal weight, as I once was 135 lbs. I wasn't healthy at that weight though, I looked sickly and felt weak, and this time I wanted to lose the fat and gain muscle while fighting my food addiction/love. I decided I have my whole life to eat, I don't need everything all at once, and I wasn't about to lose it all at once. This was going to be a long and hard road.
For me, it was about learning moderation, embracing sweat, and being goal driven. I had my goal date in mind of the wedding, and after meeting that goal, I decided to start this blog to keep myself accountable to maintain the weight.
I look forward to possibly competing, so this too will log my future fitness competetion journey

10 of the World's Most Dazzling Hot Springs
By Blythe Copeland, TreeHugger
The same geothermal heat that can help you reduce your electricity bill is responsible for some of the world's most stunning natural wonders: Hot springs.
When hot water bubbles up through the Earth's crust, the resulting pools are soothing, mineral-rich springs that have been used for medical, therapeutic, and spa treatments for centuries — and also leave behind minerals and sediment that create dazzling landscapes.
Grand Prismatic Spring and Midway Geyser Basin
Yellowstone's Grand Prismatic Spring, at 370 feet across, is the third-largest hot spring in the world, and the biggest in the United States (the other two are in New Zealand); the temperature ranges between 147 and 188 degrees Fahrenheit. The location of the spring — atop a mound of earth — means it's surrounded by stepped terraces, and the spring gets its color from a variety of factors: The blue water changes pales as the depth changes, the green outer ring is algae, and the yellow, red, and orange are the borders of the spring.
Iron Hot Spring
The steam from this natural iron hot spring (the iron is what makes the water red) in Japan creates an otherworldly background for the traditional bonsai tree in the foreground. Hot springs are a common site in Japan, where they "bubble up everywhere," according to the country's tourism board — the country has more than 2,500 of the springs, which measure somewhere between 68 and 211 degrees Fahrenheit — and they're a social activity that's believed to have health benefits ranging from improving skin to battling aches and pains.

New Zealand Hot Springs
New Zealand's rocky landscape and placement on the volcanic ridge makes it one of the best places in the world for testing out hot springs — especially near Lake Taupo. Other popular spots include Hot Water Beach, where the springs bubble up from below the sand; Waiwera, where the springs were popularized for their reported health benefits in the late 1800s; and Hanmer Springs, on the South Island, where a planned addition would expand the springs with a waterslide, ice skating rink, and freshwater swimming pool. (Above: Champagne Pool)
Bumpass Hell, California
"Bumpass Hell" may not sound like a very tempting spot for a vacation, but these springs — part of the Lassen Volcanic National Park in California — are home to some of the most striking landscapes in the Northwest.Go West USA describes the hot springs as a "sulfuric, alien world" created by a volcano that erupted at the beginning of the 20th century. Today, a three-mile hike lets you get up close and personal with the steam flumes, vents, and hot springs.
Deildartunguhver, Iceland
Iceland is a country well-known for its thermal hot springs, and Deildartunguhver, near Husafell, is the largest, with temperatures rising to more then 212 degrees Fahrenheit. The spring is home to a specific type of fern, called blechnun spicant, that doesn't grow anywhere else in the country, and nearby towns use some of the steam as an alternative energy source to run their heating systems.

Blue Lagoon, Iceland
Iceland's Blue Lagoon is another famous hot spring, and a favorite of tourists, who travel there for the "geothermal spa" experience. Water temperatures in the six million liter lagoon range from 98-102 degrees Farenheit, and the minerals released into the water from the interaction between hot seawater and cooler rocks has devotees swearing to the medical and healing properties of the springs.

The Minerva Terrace at Mammoth Hot Springs — located in Yellowstone Park — is another one of the United States' most jaw-dropping hot springs.The ridges are created by deposits of travertine, a type of limestone, which have at times been so dramatic that they covered up walkways around the springs. The park has since created an "elevated and moveable boardwalk" to give visitors a clear view of the terraces.
Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, Japan
Japanese residents and tourists aren't the only ones who take advantage of the benefits of the therapeutic hot springs: at Joshinetsu Kogen National Park, one of the main attractions is Jigokudani Monkey Park, where snow monkeys bathe and play in the waters. The monkeys — Japanese macaques — spend their summers on the cliffs and in the forests of the park, and then travel down to the warm baths to spend their winter days in the steamy hot springs.

Lake Heviz
Hungary's Lake Heviz is a slightly different kind of thermal water: Here, nearby springs that produce water of about 100 degrees Farenheit meet up and flow into the lake, which is surrounded by 150 acres of protected land. The building in the center of the lake has offered medicinal and spa treatments developed around the mineral-rich waters for more than 100 years, although some residents claim that communities dating as far back as ancient Rome were also fans of the lake's healing properties.

Thermopolis, Wyoming
The hot spring-heavy town of Thermopolis, Wyoming, gets its name from the Greek words for "hot city," and, since a treaty with local tribes in 1896, it's been one of the biggest mineral hot springs open to the public. Today, visitors can soak in the pools, take advantage of watersides and the bath house, walk across a swinging bridge for an overhead view of the landscape, and check out the multicolored "Rainbow Terraces."

The Colorado Public Utilities Commission in the past year has been the target of a series of charges of conflict of interest — leveled at it by special-interest groups and politicians.
The Colorado Mining Association sought to have two commissioners — Ron Binz and Matt Baker — recuse themselves from deliberations on the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act because they had been involved in drafting the law, which seeks to cut air pollution by switching generation from coal to natural gas.
Trinchera Ranch, owned by hedge-fund billionaire Louis Bacon, sought to have a proposed $180 million power-line project that would cross the San Luis Valley ranch thrown out because the three commissioners had meetings with utility executives about transmission issues. The PUC on Friday gave the project preliminary approval.
Then-state Republican Sen. Andy McElhany filed a complaint with the Independent Ethics Commission against Binz for accepting travel reimbursement from a natural-gas company to attend an energy symposium and against Baker for reimbursement by a Spanish government-owned company for a trade mission to Spain.
The commissioners and their supporters say the charges are based on a misunderstanding of the commission's role.
The PUC serves as a quasi-judicial body overseeing rate requests and new projects, but it also has a quasi-legislative role in gathering information, writing rules and weighing in on legislation.
The commission rejected the motions by both Trinchera and the mining association. The third commissioner, James Tarpey, did step aside in the power-line case because he had a meeting with utility executives after the application for the line was filed.
Intermountain Rural Electric Cooperative, an Xcel customer, filed a lawsuit to block Binz from ruling on an Xcel plan to meet the Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act since he was involved in behind-the-scenes negotiations on the law.
Denver District Court Judge Dennis Martinez, however, rejected Intermountain's argument.
"The public should expect the PUC chairman and his fellow commissioners to exercise their quasi-legislative responsibility by participating in the legislative process on the public's behalf," he said.
Baker and Binz rebutted the ethics charges, saying the trips were approved by the Department of Regulatory Affairs.
"There have been some very powerful interests opposing some of the dockets, and they've attacked not only the projects but the commissioners," said Ron Lehr, a former commissioner who now represents the American Wind Energy Association. "It really is unprecedented."
Still, critics maintain the PUC process is difficult to crack.
"The deck is stacked against any intervenor who is not a utility," said Cody Wertz, a Trinchera spokesman.

But experts said that if a foreign government gained the ability to tamper with voter data – for instance by deleting registration records – such a hack could cast doubt on the legitimacy of us elections.
No data was removed in that attack, the official said. Tom Carper, D-Delaware, in a letter to the Department of Homeland Security. "That's where the real potential is for any sort of meddling in the election". Hackers could change voters' addresses, so their registrations would be invalid or at least confused. "We're very confident nothing was added, deleted or altered".
The spokesman, Matt Roberts, told The Washington Post the Federal Bureau of Investigation said the threat was "an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10". "This credential was leaked by a hacker".
The warning lists eight IP addresses that were the sources of the two attacks. "It's incredibly important to expect more from our elections officials".
Comey, speaking at a cybersecurity conference Tuesday, declined to give details about what the FBI was investigating in connection with the political hacking but indicated the agency was closely watching what foreign countries are doing.
Now both the state and local officials say the data accessed is not tied to vote counting software, so elections results can not be altered.
"This is the closest we've come to tying a recent hack to the Russian government", the official said. Several third-party sources have identified the attackers as Russians, but US law enforcement sources have not confirmed that.
The breach is under investigation by the FBI in both Arizona and IL.
The email systems of both the Democratic National Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee were hacked earlier this year, with damaging data released to Wikileaks just before the Democratic National Convention nominated Hillary Clinton for president.
Several Democrats in Congress have formally asked the FBI to investigate if Russian cyber-attacks against the party have any connection to the Republican presidential nominee.
The FBI declined to comment on the breaches against the state election databases mentioned in its bulletin.
According to Bloomberg, the federal government could step in to offer extra assistance to state election officials. In some cases, the information also included the last four digits of the voter's driver's license and social security numbers. Most of the rest of the stolen data could be bought by a political committee for a small fee, Menzel said.

PSX Extreme Announces New Review Format
For a long, long time, we here at PSX Extreme have tried our best to review as many PS2 games as possible. Obviously, we have missed many games, but we're only 4 people with other jobs and lives that don't revolve around videogaming. Writing 2000+ word reviews has taken its toll on all of us. It's incredibly time consuming, and often times we are not able to get reviews posted at a prompt time. Also, we have realized that a vast majority of our readers do not enjoy tediously long reviews.
  So, we've decided to revamp our review format. From now on, our reviews will now be more precise and to the point. Though, we guarantee that quality is only being improved. With this new format, we here at PSX Extreme hope to offer more reviews than we have offered before. We hope you enjoy the new format.

Come join us at the Southern Maryland Celtic Festival Saturday, 25th April. Rain or shine, we'll be in the Breckenridge building (that's right – no tent or lean-to for us – we're in a real building with walls and ceilings!)
Our judge this year is the fabulous Sharon Knowles, a Scottish Harp Society of America Distinguished Judge – we are so fortunate to have her! Sharon will also be teaching a workshop – so even if you're not inclined to compete, bring your harp along anyway and learn a new tune. In addition, we'll have a Harp Circle so please join us for that as well. And if you've got your harp there anyway, you could also stay for the Ceilidh at the end of the day!
Remember if you are planning to compete, buy a Harp Competition ticket. You can get there either by going to the Harp page of the Celtic Society of Southern Maryland (CSSM) website (http://www.cssm.org/events/festival/competitions/highland-harping/) or from the general ticket page (http://www.cssm.org/tickets/) and be certain to click on the Harp Competition button). If you have fans (friends, family) coming they can buy regular tickets
And if you're coming with your harp but not competing, buy a regular ticket (there is no price difference). If you're not sure, buy a competition entry ticket and we'll sort it out on the day.
Arrival registration will start at 0930 and the competition will begin at 1000.
Don't forget you'll need to download, complete, and bring the signed Hold Harmless as well. Once at the competition, we'll assure that your SHSA membership is up to date (remember that it will be $18 for the calendar year, check payable to SHSA is a great idea!). Rules state that the first to register is last to play in each category, so get online and get registered!
Weather is predicted to be fine and cool – if you have questions, you know how to get ahold of me – just ask! I'll look forward to seeing you there!

Former chief secretary Rafael Hui declared bankrupt
High Court declares Rafael Hui, Hong Kong's former chief secretary who is involved in an ICAC corruption case, bankrupt for failing to repay debt to BEA
The High Court yesterday declared former chief secretary Rafael Hui Si-yan bankrupt for failing to repay unspecified debts to the Bank of East Asia (BEA).
In a spectacular fall from grace, the man who was once Hong Kong's No2 official, cannot now take a taxi, unless he can justify it, or use a credit card.
And it is unlikely that Hui, 65 - who is involved in a corruption case with Sun Hung Kai Properties' co-chairmen Thomas Kwok Ping-kwong and Raymond Kwok Ping-luen - will be allowed to hire an expensive barrister to represent him in the criminal trial in May, a lawyer said.
Payment of his pension would be suspended until he was discharged from bankruptcy, a government spokesman said. However, Hui could apply to the Civil Service Bureau for an ex-gratia payment for his maintenance or to repay his debts.
High Court master Hui Ka-ho handed down the bankruptcy order after the bank filed a bankruptcy petition in September. In April BEA issued a writ asking Hui to pay all money due under two overdraft facilities and two credit cards.
Outside court, lawyers for the bank said it had obtained a debt judgment against Hui about three months ago before it filed the bankruptcy petition. Hui did not respond to the application made by the bank.
Hui faces claims from five lenders: BEA, Hang Seng Bank, Honour Finance (a company owned by Sun Hung Kai Properties), Chong Hing Bank and Standard Chartered Bank. Media reports suggest the debts amount to almost HK$75 million, including an unconfirmed HK$60 million owed to BEA.
Lawyer Vitus Leung Wing-hang said: "Hui will not be allowed to live in a big house or to use any credit cards."
Hui also could not take a taxi or travel overseas unless he could justify it, Leung said. The issue of the house would not be a problem if it was owned by his family.
Leung said Hui might be able to persuade the Official Receiver's Office to allow him to hire an expensive lawyer if his family agreed to pay the legal fees.
In March, Hui, the Kwok brothers and two others pleaded not guilty to multiple charges after an investigation by the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
The ICAC alleges that between 2000 and 2009 Hui took more than HK$34 million in bribes and the rent-free use of a flat in Happy Valley in return for favours.

It has emerged that the Phobos-Grunt spacecraft launched by Russians may or may not have landed on Mars recently.
The European Space Agency has said that it is unlikely to be able to salvage much from the said probe as they "don't have the foggiest" where it is.
"I guess we should have put a camera or something on it," said the Russian Space Science People "we fired it up into the air as fast as we could in the direction of Mars and hoped for the best. To be honest it could have landed thirty miles away in a pond and we would be none the wiser."
Scientists are not disheartened and have vowed to continue firing things into the sky in the hope that it will catch the attention of a little alien or something. "Just for it to bring back a little rock somehow would be nice."
There are unconfirmed reports that the probe has been spotted on the roof of the Space Offices adjacent to the spot from which it was launched, smashed into lots of tiny little pieces. "If this is the case" said a man with his mouth, "it probably didn't make it to Mars at all, but I guess we will never truly know."

Y'all remember how the former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — boy that sounds awesome — can I type it again? The FORMER Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — such a calming feeling.
Ok, break time over.
Remember all Reid's tirades about the "un-American" Koch Brothers and how they were using their money to destroy America? If you recall, we wrote how the villainous Koch Brothers were funding scholarship programs for the United Negro College Fund. Well, the liberal progressive counterpart is quite telling.
As reported by The Washington Times, "There's a solitary man at the financial center of the Ferguson protest movement. No, it's not victim Michael Brown or Officer Darren Wilson. It's not even the Rev. Al Sharpton, despite his ubiquitous campaign on TV and the streets. Rather, it's liberal billionaire George Soros, who has built a business empire that dominates across the ocean in Europe while forging a political machine powered by nonprofit foundations that impacts American politics and policy, not unlike what he did with MoveOn.org. "
"Mr. Soros spurred the Ferguson protest movement through years of funding and mobilizing groups across the U.S., according to interviews with key players and financial records reviewed by The Washington Times. In all, Mr. Soros gave at least $33 million in one year to support already-established groups that emboldened the grass-roots, on-the-ground activists in Ferguson, according to the most recent tax filings of his nonprofit Open Society Foundations."
"The financial tether from Mr. Soros to the activist groups gave rise to a combustible protest movement that transformed a one-day criminal event in Missouri into a 24-hour-a-day national cause celebre."
So of course this is a story you won't hear on mainstream media. And imagine what would be said if an individual were funding millions to the Constitutional Conservative grassroots movement to riot and protest (not that those folks ever do of course). Who exactly are the radicals and extremists?
Where is the outcry from Reid and the leftist progressives about this perversion of political money?
Once again, liberal hypocrisy is in full bloom. It never ceases to amaze me how there are rules for the GOP, rules for conservatives and no rules for progressive socialists.
Once upon a time Nancy Pelosi referred to the conservative grassroots movement as "astroturf." What does she call this prefabricated well-funded charade that resulted in the destruction of a black community? Why doesn't Soros use his millions and billions to rebuild businesses and build charter schools for the Ferguson community? Nah, that goes against the welfare nanny-state and economic plantation objective these white masters have always intended for the black community.
Am I the only one who sees the ludicrous insanity here? A rich white man of a progressive socialist persuasion paying for the decimation of the black community?
And why exactly does the black community embrace this? Why do they look at those such as myself and others who preach self-reliance and education as their enemies? Perhaps it's a version of Stockholm Syndrome that afflicts the black community at large to the point where they embrace their captors — those who enslave them — not physically but mentally, eroding their will, sense of purpose and self-esteem.
"Our DNA includes a belief that having people participate in government is indispensable to living in a more just, inclusive, democratic society," said Kenneth Zimmerman, director of Mr. Soros' Open Society Foundations' U.S. programs, in an interview with The Washington Times. "Helping groups combine policy, research [and] data collection with community organizing feels very much the way our society becomes more accountable. The incidents, whether in Staten Island, Cleveland or Ferguson, were spontaneous protests — we don't have the ability to control or dictate what others say or choose to say, Mr Zimmerman said. But these circumstances focused people's attention — and it became increasingly evident to the social justice groups involved that what a particular incident like Ferguson represents is a lack of accountability and a lack of democratic participation."
This is the mindset of the progressive socialists who would rather fund riots and civil unrest resulting in the destruction of communities than invest in greater opportunities. This is their misguided ideal of social justice. The events of Ferguson do not represent a lack of accountability; they reflected the failure of the liberal Great Society. It doesn't represent the lack of democratic participation but rather the rise of mobocracy.
"I went to Ferguson in a quest to be in solidarity and stand with the young organizers and affirm their leadership," said Kassandra Frederique, policy manager at the Drug Policy Alliance, which was founded by Mr. Soros, and which receives $4 million annually from his foundation. She traveled to Ferguson in October. Ms. Frederique works with Opal Tometi, co-creator of #BlackLivesMatter — a hashtag that was developed after the killing of Trayvon Martin in Florida — and helped promote it on DPA's news feeds."
"Ms. Tometi runs the Black Alliance for Just Immigration, a group to which Mr. Soros gave $100,000 in 2011, according to the most recent of his foundation's tax filings. "I think #BlackLivesMatter's success is because of organizing. This was created after Trayvon Martin, and there has been sustained organizing and conversations about police violence since then," said Ms. Frederique. "Its explosion into the mainstream recently is because it connects all the dots at a time when everyone was lost for words. 'Black Lives Matter' is liberating, unapologetic and leaves no room for confusion."
So which black lives matter for Ms. Frederique? Certainly not the lives trying to escape the inner city economic dungeon. What about the poor little black lives that are snuffed out before they have the chance to know the American dream? It pains me to see these men and women who are selling out their own — and for what?
I wish you all to consider the progressive socialist ridicule of the Koch Brothers who support better education opportunities for blacks. Yet the path forward for George Soros and his ilk is to use their millions to fund riots that perpetuate the further decimation of the black community.
Sadly, like lemmings running over the cliff, so it goes for those who follow the example of Soros.


text: There are some preachers and teachers in Christendom today that would have you believe that Christianity is all about health and wealth. While this may sound good—and sell a lot of books—it is unbiblical. Over and over again, the Bible asserts that believers will go through difficult circumstances in life—this is God's work in us to conform us to the image of His Son. As Paul and his companions continue on their first missionary journey, they experience both good and bad along the way. It is important for us to follow the example of Scripture in how we respond to both good and bad fruit in life.

When Maddie was born on July 3rd two years ago, we all thought she would grow up hating her birthday being so close to a holiday. Well girlfriend has it made, for the past two years we have celebrated her birthday on the 3rd, because everyone is off work the 4th, and she gets a party. I would say she got a pretty good deal. This year Ashley wanted to keep it simple, so she had a mermaid/pool party at my parents house. She did such a great job, and everything turned out so cute!
I am definitely planning on reigning myself in this year, and doing a simple party for Hudson's 2nd Birthday!

Family Vacation 2013 Part Three: "Professional Pictures"
Last year we hired someone to do our family pictures at the beach. After paying our money, getting rained out one day, and not receiving all of our pictures, Connie decided she wanted a new camera. So last Christmas she got a super nice "fancy" camera, and we did our own pictures this year. Connie has always been the "picture" person in our family. She makes sure we all have the best memories from our trips. We decided that each family would choose a different color, and I think they all turned out so cute! Luke and his family went to visit a family friend the night of pictures so you will notice he is missing in some of them. They got back just before dark, so we were able to get some good shots.
|Best Friends.
|Brother and Sister.

It Takes a Village of SFPD Cops to Escort Mayor Ed Lee's Walks About the Corrupt Twitterloin – And Where's Randy Shaw?Monday, April 15th, 2013
This is just part of the SFPD detail what follows Mayor Ed Lee about when he ventures into the corrupt Twitterloin.
As seen on Market Street at Sixth Friday AM:
Click to expand
Do I think the SFPD is far too obsequious when dealing with San Francisco Mayors?
Do I understand why the the World's Highest Paid Cops are that way?
Can you spell obsequious without IOU?
No. Try it.
Am I happy that the current appointed Mayor (appointed by handsome man-child Gavin Newsom (IQ: 95), who, of course, got his start into politics by getting appointed by WIllie Brown) doesn't have the SFPD drive a god damn SUV to Montana or someplace on the taxpayer's dime?
Am I happy that the current Mayor doesn't treat the SFPD VIP security detail as kind of a personal motor pool, like when Gavin Newsom would get picked up at SFO in the GM hybrid SUV shortly after other elements of the SFPD chauffeured the then "First Lady" (which really isn't the right phrase since she wasn't even married to the Mayor at the time – she was First Girlfriend, let's say, you know, at the time) to and from, I'm srsly, Quince restaurant in the stretched Lincoln Town Car?
Hell Yes.
Am I surprised to see that corrupt Randy Shaw* of the corrupt Tenderloin Housing Clinic (it's budgeted for 95 million taxpayer dollars or something? All that for a clinic? Srsly?) isn't lining up to hail our Dear Leader / WalkSF / SFGov right here?
Yes, a little.
And, does it look like WalkSF has taken a page from the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition right down to the exact amount of an annual membership and the highly similar official "____ To Work Day?"
And will tiny WalkSF feel pressure to endorse Ed Lee for Mayor the same way the SFBC did?
We'll see.
* You know, a "Skid Row feudal lord," the "political ally of slumlords," and a "skid-row kingpin."
Twitter Co-Founder Biz Stone Spams for Mayor Ed Lee – Is Twitter Now a Member of the "City Family?"Friday, October 7th, 2011
[UPDATE: Well, it looks as if this was a simple Tweeting mistake, per Brock Keeling of SFist. I wasn't up-to-speed on this. Nevertheless, all this Twitter Tax real estate Biz Stone endorsement stuff the past year is a fucking embarrassment for the City of San Francisco.]
What's Twitter Founder Biz Stone up to today – is he spamming Twitter to boost the election chances of Interim Mayor and "Twitter-tax" tax-cutter Ed Lee?
It sure looks that way:
@katiecouric Will you endorse @EdLeeforMayor for Mayor on @Votizen?votizen.com/m/93t6at/"
Is Biz making all these Tweets himself, or is a robot doing it?
Looks like a robot's doing it, since there are so many Tweets:
Click to expand
Now, you know what's funny about the whole corrupt Twitterloin real estate deal is that the "job-killing" "Twitter Tax" was signed into law back in 2004 by former Mayor / Ed Lee mentor Gavin Newsom.
Isn't that funny?
Anyway, here's some of the background:
"Prospective Twitter Landlord Gave Newsom Rent Deal"
Is this another case of Ed Lee Getting It Done?
Does Biz Stone realize what he's doing?
Does he realize what this looks like?
OMG, the Biggest Member of San Francisco's "City Family," the SEIU, Endorses Avalos & Yee, Also Dufty, Rejects Mayor Ed LeeMonday, August 15th, 2011
[UPDATE: Explication here from Fog City Journal and the San Francisco Bay Guardian:
"The delegates were in support of both Supervisor John Avalos and State Senator Leland Yee, both progressives with strong labor credentials and records, both having been in SEIU at one time, and both friends. The delegates reasoned that with so many candidates in the race, neither could win without the others second votes, so they made a dual endorsement of them, asking members and supporters to vote their choice of first or second between them."
So yes, I did read this wrong.]
All right, tell me if I'm reading this fresh release the wrong way:
"City Workers Endorse Yee for Mayor – SEIU 1021 reject Lee, back Yee in Mayor's Race
SAN FRANCISCO – Senator Leland Yee has landed the first choice endorsement of the largest organization of city workers – Service Employees International Union (SEIU 1021) – in his campaign for San Francisco Mayor. The move by the 54,000 member union is a complete rejection of the city's top official, interim Mayor Ed Lee.
The endorsement comes after Yee has landed virtually every major labor endorsement in the race, including the California Nurses Association, California School Employees Association, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council, Laborers International Union, United Brotherhood of Carpenters, Communication Workers of America, and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, among others.
Yee has also been endorsed by the major environmental groups, including the Sierra Club and San Francisco Tomorrow.
"I am proud to be the labor candidate in this race and honored to receive the endorsement from SEIU 1021 and our city's workforce, who run our city and provide us essential services," said Yee. "SEIU 1021 represents some of our lowest paid and hardest working employees, including healthcare workers, nurses, and janitors. Together, we have fought to ensure greater transparency and accountability at City Hall and within state government. I look forward to working with SEIU as we move San Francisco forward."
"Clearly, Leland Yee is the best choice to stand up for working families," said Jim Stearns, Yee's campaign manager. "Unlike some candidates, Leland doesn't believe public employees are the enemy and he'll fight for good-paying jobs and benefits for those who provide essential services to San Francisco residents."
SEIU 1021 also endorsed John Avalos as a first or second choice and Bevan Dufty as a third choice.
SEIU 1021 was founded in 2007 when 10 local unions came together in northern California to form one larger, more powerful union. SEIU 1021 represents public service workers in cities, counties, courts, schools, private non-profits, special districts, public health care, and nursing.
Yee immigrated to San Francisco at the age of 3. His father, a veteran, served in the US Army and the Merchant Marine, and his mother was a local seamstress. Yee graduated from the University of California – Berkeley, then earned a Ph.D. in Child Psychology, and later served in various mental health and school settings. He and his wife, Maxine, have raised four children who all attended San Francisco public schools. Yee has served in the State Legislature, Board of Supervisors and Board of Education."
Former San Francisco Mayor Art Agnos Endorses City Attorney Dennis Herrera in Mayoral RaceTuesday, August 9th, 2011
Is this news? Well, it's news to me.
Of course, it's always nice to have a former Mayor's endorsement, right?
Brent Begin has the deets. (Let me tell you, in this context, and, really every context having anything to do with who becomes an elected official, the term "staffer" is highly pejorative. Highly, highly pejorative. Pretty much it's calling Ed Lee a mayoral usurper. Oh, and "competent" is thrown in there as well. S'pose that's better than incompetent, but Jesus Christ. Just saying.)
Here it is:
"I've been Mayor of San Francisco and I know that it's no easy task. I saw our great City through its recovery after the Loma Prieta Earthquake, working hard to create affordable housing, and undertaking major improvements to our City's infrastructure.
I know what it takes to do this job. It takes the ability to stand up and fight for what you believe in, independent of special interests. That's why I believe that Dennis Herrera is the Mayor that San Francisco needs.
As our City Attorney, Dennis has exposed fraud, waste, abuse and corruption in City government, and recovered millions of dollars for San Franciscans. He will be an independent voice in City Hall and bring integrity and honesty to the Mayor's office.
That's why I'm proud to endorse Dennis Herrera for Mayor and I hope you will join me in supporting his campaign.
Now more than ever, our City needs leadership experience and an honest government. It's time that we return to a City governed by independence and not by power brokers or special interests.
Dennis has shown that he knows every facet of City government and how it should serve all our neighborhoods. That's why I'm supporting him for Mayor.
Will you join me in supporting Dennis' candidacy?
I look forward to seeing you at his campaign headquarters and on street corners as we work to elect him as our next Mayor. A campaign is only as strong as its supporters and your efforts will be essential to our success.
Thanks for all that you do,
Art Agnos
Former Mayor of San Francisco"

I've been blogging since August of 2000. I remember it because that was when I first got broadband, and the internet was finally fast enough to enjoy it. I have never really taken blogging all that serious. Most of my archives are long lost, and I don't really care who reads this.
I mainly blog because I like to have my own place on the internet to call home, and I like to share things that I find cool and interesting on the internet. Sometimes when I find something cool and have a comment about it I will blog it, but most of the time I just post it over there —> in my sidebar. If you are reading this in your RSS reader, you probably aren't getting my links unless you are also subscribed to my links RSS feed. So now I am going to try and post a recap of the weeks links every Saturday. I'm pretty bad at keeping things like this going, but we will see how it works. Here is the past week's links:

At the time of this writing, Hurricane Bertha – the first hurricane of the 2008 season – was packing 90-mile-per-hour winds and bearing down on Bermuda.
It's been 70 years since a hurricane actually struck our area, but experts warn that hurricanes are a lot like slumping baseball players – at some point they're due for a hit.
Last week, Manhattan Beach residents gathered at P.S. 195 on Irwin Street received the sobering facts about hurricanes and just how vulnerable they are if and when one finally blows into town.
According to Robert Crow of the New York City Office of Emergency Management, a hurricane slamming Atlantic City, New Jersey with counter-clockwise winds raking the ground in its wake would actually constitute the worst case for Manhattan Beach and surrounding areas, bringing storm surges, structural damage, flooding and water contamination.
"You better evacuate, unless you have scuba gear," the hurricane specialist warned.
New York City has room for 600,000 people in its network of emergency centers and shelters in the event of a hurricane. The problem is, officials expect three million evacuees when the big one hits.
That's why residents are advised to seek shelter with friends or relatives living outside the evacuation area.
Of course, half of Brooklyn would become an evacuation zone in the face of a Category 3 or 4 hurricane.
New York City is now classified as the third-most hurricane vulnerable city in the nation.
Manhattan Beach's designated evacuation site is I.S. 187, the Christa McAuliffe School at 1171 65th Street in Bay Ridge.
Last month, OEM held a mock hurricane drill there as part of the city's Coastal Storm Plan. Over 115 city employees manned the shelter in preparation for 500 evacuees.
Officials warn that residents living in flood plane areas like Manhattan Beach should hit the road at the first hint of danger because if you're still home 36 hours away from an impending hurricane, it's probably already too late.
That's why area folks are urged to think about how they'll evacuate in an emergency.
How quickly can you secure your home? Do you have a "go-bag" ready? How about an out-of-state contact?
Officials say everyone's go-bag should contain things like important documents, cash, medication, batteries and a flashlight.
Water and toilet paper will be premium items if you end up at a shelter.
If you voluntarily decide or have no other choice then to "shelter in place," officials advise residents to store at least one gallon of water per person in the household for three days.
According to Crow, a hurricane striking New York City is a "virtual certainty."

This traditional course has tree-lined fairways which are defined by a standard cut of rough. One of the more difficult features this course presents are its greens. The small greens are elevated, undulating, and very difficult to hit. The terrain is hilly, so you can also expect some uneven lies during your round. The signature hole is #16, a 129-yard, par 3, requiring a tee shot from off an elevated tee down to an island green. Ben Hogan won the 1941 Chicago Open here and still holds the course record of 64.
