Every so often a restaurant will come along that will catch my attention, and no matter where else I go to eat, that one place will keep coming back to memory, and I think, "Oh yeah, I still want to go to (blank)." One of those places in the last year or so has been Daybreak Diner on Weber Rd, in the Linden neighborhood of north Columbus. Even though my work route takes me past the diner usually a couple of times per week, which may have some influence on bringing it to mind so often, I think the main reason I've been wanting to visit is because of the uniqueness of some of their menu items (we'll get to those in a minute). So, we recently braved the Polar Vortex-esque, bone-chilling temperatures and headed up I-71 to find some Daybreak grub.
Daybreak Diner is located about a half-mile off of the interstate, intermingled among other older buildings and businesses. They share a double-storefront plaza with another one of Columbus' great eateries, Suzie's Sub Shop.
The diner is filled with booths and tables, as well as a counter that overlooks the open grill. It's similar in design to many other small spots in town, and has all of the diner decor basics covered. When we visited there was a small group of ladies sitting at one of the tables in the front, and a guy using the WiFi at the counter, with several other parties arriving during our stay. We scooted our way to the back of the dining room and found a table.
It may be my love of old Hollywood films (which was born out of watching classic movies with my wife when we first met) that attracted me to this wall in particular. It features an arranged mural of pencil drawing prints of old film and television stars such as Carey Grant, Gary Cooper, Katherine Hepburn, etc. Each one was displayed in a stylish black frame, with a large James Dean poster in the center of it all.
The opposite wall featured a myriad of vintage pop-culture memorabilia, with everything from Coca-cola bottles to classic cartoon character serving trays, wall plaques with silly phrases ("Vegetarian: A Native American word for 'Bad Hunter'") to toy trucks, a Frank's Red Hot wall clock, vintage vanity license plates, and a hundred other things to look at. And if that wasn't enough to see, you can always sit and watch the cook, who was hard at work flipping pancakes, scrambling eggs, and making our morning meal.
The menu at Daybreak Diner covers breakfast and lunch. They offer many of the traditional diner options like eggs & meat combos, pancakes, breakfast burritos and the like. However, what drew me to this place were the dishes they offer that you do not normally see at your typical diner, like Breakfast Fried Rice, Captain Crunch-coated French Toast, a Bacon Cheeseburger Omelet, a 4-egg omelet filled with everything but the kitchen sink, and much more…
We'll start with the Pancake & Bacon ($2.60) off the kids menu. Our son is a major sucker for pancakes and French toast, and it seems that's what he gravitates toward every time we go to breakfast. Daybreak Diner's version was your typical, medium-sized buttermilk flapjack, which had good flavor. The bacon was cooked nicely. Great portion size for a hungry boy.
The Daybreak Breakfast Bowl ($7.85) is basically an open-faced omelet in a bowl, filled with hash browns, choice of breakfast meat (Mrs. Grub Guy went with bacon) and topped with the Diner's "Five Star Sausage Gravy" and cheddar cheese, and served with toast.
The Mrs. seriously enjoyed her breakfast. It arrived to our table in a huge bowl, and was piping hot. She commented on how the melted cheese on top really helped seal in the warmth of the gravy, which kept the meal hot as she ate. The sausage gravy was obviously homemade, and she said it was really rich and flavorful. It was a huge portion, which she ended up taking about half of home for another breakfast.
Next is one that I had been waiting to try, the Captain's French Toast ($3.65). The only other place I had seen this dish before was at a diner in Baltimore, on an episode of Diners, Drive-In's & Dives. At that establishment, they actually dipped the bread in the egg, and then coated it with cereal before grilling. Daybreak Diner's version was a little different from that. They offered two slices of Texas-style French toast, and then sprinkled powdered sugar and crushed Capt'n Crunch cereal on top. The Captain's dish was pretty good, but I was a little disappointed that it was just simply a handful of crushed cereal on top of good French toast. I think dipping the toast in the cereal and then cooking on the flat-top grill might have brought out a better flavor, although this was not bad.
I ordered Bill's Breakfast Fried Rice ($7.35). I have to say, I have mixed feelings about this dish. This was something that I really wanted to love. I absolutely adore good fried rice, and it's been something I've been shoving in my mouth by the fistfuls since I was an infant. I was hoping for something with unique flavors, textures, and a dish that I could introduce to out-of-town visitors, and then taunt them with after they go home, because I'd be enjoying a great breakfast dish that they just can't find where they live. Instead, I found Bill's Breakfast Fried Rice to be…just ok. It wasn't bad by any means, it just didn't have the flavor I was hoping for. Brown rice tossed with scrambled eggs, sausage, onions, mushrooms, and topped with cheddar cheese sounds delicious, right? I don't know, maybe I just wasn't connecting with it that morning. Next time I go back, I may be tempted to give the rice another chance, but I'll probably hit up that huge omelet instead.
I'd say that our visit to Daybreak Diner was a good one, although our meal selections were kind of hit and miss. I'll definitely come back again to try some of their other dishes, and will recommend this spot to others looking for some unique breakfast eats. If you go, don't forget to pick up your frequent diner rewards card. It's something Daybreak Diner started offering recently; Every time you visit, get your card stamped and earn rewards toward future meals!
Rewards that equal breakfast. How cool is that??
Daybreak Diner is located at 1168 E, Weber Rd, Columbus, OH 43211 (Map). They're open Monday – Friday, 7:30 AM – 3:00 PM, and Saturday – Sunday, 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. For more info, visit their website, or follow them on Facebook and Twitter.

As for Tell's theoretical drinking habits, keep in mind he was going to meet buddies in a tavern on the second level at the beginning of Fourth Age. In my mind he's rather egalitarian where alcohol is concerned.
But only where alcohol is concerned -- a true sign of a frivilous, arrogant lad!

Photo: AFP/WESCOM Handout MANILA - China can never legally acquire a territory through conquest, an international law expert said. University of the Philippines' Harry Roque said China should rethink its plans to tow away a commissioned naval vessel, such as the rusty BRP Sierra Madre that remains grounded at Ayungin Shoal. "Even if China were to remove the Sierra Madre from Ayungin shoal and build yet another artificial island there, it will never acquire title over the area. The reason: international law has long outlawed the acquisition of territory through conquest," he said. The removal of the rusty ship there may also trigger assistance from the United States, he added. The BRP Sierra Madre was grounded at Ayungin to symbolize the Philippines' claim to the shoal, known internationally as the Second Thomas Shoal. BRP Sierra Madre was the former US tank-landing ship USS Harnett County which the Philippines inherited in 1976. The military intentionally ran it aground at the disputed area more than two decades later. On Saturday, a Philippine civilian ship outmaneuvered bigger Chinese ships guarding the area in order to replenish the food and water needed by soldiers holding post at the decrepit BRP Sierra Madre. "Derelict as it may be, it is subject to full sovereign immunity and any attempt to tow it away from Ayungin may finally trigger the applicability of the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty," Roque said. While the treaty may not be triggered due to any fighting, Roque said "an attack against a Philippine commissioned naval vessel may be sufficient for the purpose. The result: the West Philippine Sea, unless China backs off, may trigger the biggest armed conflict in the region since the Vietnam and Indo-China conflict."

The Sixers might not be as likely to win the right to the first pick in next month's draft tonight, but they're still in position to end up with a chance to select one – or more – impact players. If they do get a ball drawn and the Lakers don't, they get the Lakers' pick too, which could potentially be No. 4.
The lottery takes place on Tuesday. Still, what happens at 8:30 p.m.
The Denver Nuggets haven't exactly had bad luck in the NBA Draft Lottery (unlike their Pepsi Center roommates), but they've never had good luck, either. "We're just trying to get ourselves past this lottery and the draft and see where we stand".
CELTICS: When Boston sent Pierce and Garnett to Brooklyn as part of a draft-night trade in 2013, the Celtics not only acquired the Nets' first-round picks in 2014, 2016 and 2018, but also the right to swap first-round selections in 2017.
Frank Vogel, the Magic's coach, will represent the team on stage when lottery results are announced.
As Nate Taylor pointed out in one of his recent insiders, Collins and Leaf are two of the more intriguing prospects in got to talk to at the combine.
Another potential story is vindication for "The Process" in Philadelphia.
The Boston Celtics are trying to go from No. 1 seed to No. 1 pick.
The Celtics are going to have a high draft pick in this upcoming draft and have many options they can go from. But this is a draft loaded with talent, so Philly should come out well either way. They could not only win again if they move up from their current fourth spot, but land another top-five pick if the Lakers fall backward.
Amid all the conspiracy theories surrounding the NBA's lottery over the years, there hasn't been much room for shadiness and extracurricular speculation when it comes to the 12th lottery spot. But there is a small, small chance Miami could end up with a top-three pick.
Editor's note: SportsDay's Eddie Sefko recently wrote a series of columns chronicling the Mavericks' NBA draft lottery picks. Notably, the team has already met with Markelle Fultz and De'Aaron Fox, two players whom they have their eyes set on with their top-three pick should they keep it after the lottery.
Posting a 28-54 record last season, the Sixers were destined to head into Tuesday's festivities with relatively decent odds, one way or the other. Here's a quick recap of what the NBA Draft Lottery really is: the 14 teams that miss the playoff are entered into the lottery.
"The pain that we've all gone through, the pain of losing is real".
The situation: It wasn't good, which you could say about all of the "90s for this franchise". We're ready to go.
The Suns have the second best odds at the No. 1 pick (19.9 percent) and the Lakers have the third best odds at the No. 1 pick (15.6). They could also wind up picking seventh (and that's it). For a top three pick, it's 18.2 percent. The remainder of the 14 teams are slotted in the inverse order of their won-loss record. The Celtics acquired the pick from Brooklyn, which had the worst record in the National Basketball Association last season, as a result of a 2013 trade that sent Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Nets.
"It's been a long year", Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said.

At Home with the Noonans

Starting Sunday 22nd April, a brilliant new documentary series directed by top investigative journalist Donal McIntyre,
Sky 553/HD 555 and Virgin Media 237 Reviews invited [see below]
"Following the success of Donal MacIntyre's award-winning feature film on crime boss Domenyk Noonan in A Very British Gangster, the documentary-maker's ten year filmed observation of the Manchester family continues with "At Home with the Noonans", a brand new series exclusive to Crime & Investigation Network.
To find out more about At Home with the Noonans go to Crime & Investigation Network
Set in the aftermath of gang leader Desmond Noonan's violent murder, this hard-hitting documentary series adopts an up-close and personal look at one of the most notorious families in the UK, the Noonans, as brother Domenyk steps up to assume control in his own unique way.
Domenyk Noonan, who changed his name by Deed Poll while in prison to Domenyk Lattlay Fottfoy (an acronym for Look After Those That Look After You and F**k Off Those That F**k Off You), has over 30 convictions for bank robbery, prison escape and police assault, but has also faced charges on kidnapping, torture and conspiracy to import drugs. His two greatest joys are annoying the Greater Manchester Police and looking after his beloved teenage son, Bugsy, who has only spent three Christmases with his Dad because of the crime boss's long stints in jail.
From the Strangeways riots of 1990 to street disturbances which nearly brought the country to its knees last August, Domenyk Noonan has been cast as a central figure in many of the key events that have shaped Manchester over the decades. But that has come at a terrible cost and moulded his story into one of loss, murder and tragedy. From the inside out, MacIntyre reveals the disorganised nature of organised crime and unearths how loyalty, friendship and bIood seep through the generations to create unbreakable bonds.
The eye-opening series follows key members of the family and associates as crime slowly envelops the young Bugsy Noonan. Filmed over ten years, it provides a unique look at a family in a community ravaged by crime, meeting a variety of characters along the way including call girls, hit men, doormen, rioters, priests, cage fighters, Irish republicans, actors and rappers."
Well, that's the press release and, having seen Episode 1, I can assure CrimeTalk readers that this ad is only going in because this series looks like an absolute must-see. It's true that some of it could have been taken straight from Shameless but this is not fiction nor is it funny or deliberately taboo-flaunting particlularly. Nor is it The Wire, which was compelling, action-adventure drama organized rationally around a series of criminological arguments or ideas. At Home with the Noonans is classic documentary observation a la Robert Park and the Chicago School with all their emphasis on accuracy, warts-and-all, argot, contradictory attitudes, honesty amongst thieves, much chaos, fine everyday detail, lengthy observation, and an acute sense of different cultural worlds or appreciation, in the sense of respect, for another culture.
So there are times when it all seems very normal, humdrum and mundane. Phrases like 'the banality of evil' and the 'empty world of modernity' could be called to mind, but the key thing is the difference between the glamorized gangsters of the movies and the ordinary concerns of these guys. It could be you or me. Except it isn't. They are a very specific family, with strong IRA connections, a lucrative racket or two, local political power and a very business-like attitude to serious violence. You might want to read the Nino series by Amedeo Cottino here on CrimeTalk to get the feel of the Italian version. The real deal really isn't like Hollywood.
Once the series is underway, I would welcome reviews and comments on it. They will be conveyed to Donal McIntyre and the production team. Donal may well read them on here anyway. Don't be shy! It is a rare opportunity for you to feed your views back to the film-makers, before they go on to further work in this area. And we don't care whether you are a professor, a student, police, probation, FBI, criminal, CIA or whatever. This is genuine crime-talk and you're all viewers to the TV guys!
Added on 30 April: Here is a review by a young journalist working for the Huffington Post to give you a kind of op. ed. on the series:
As my comment below indicates, in my view and from the standpoint of my experience, this documentary series achieves a non-glamorised, balanced, understanding of the role of gangsters in society, or, if you like, of how systematic criminality is often tightly integrated within communities and indeed within local systems of authority. It achieved this partly because it takes the stance of respect rather moral judgement and partly because it took time. My own experience of supervising over 150 postgraduate research dissertations, including a raft of acclaimed doctorates at Cambridge, is that respect and time are the two key portals through which good observation-based research has to pass before it can truly 'appreciate' the various dimensions of the social phenomenon being studied. This series, from what I have seen so far, then represents an enormous achievment in documentary journalism and naturalistic sociology.
That is why the work of the Chicago School of Sociology in the 1920's and 1930's is so well-known. It did the time and paid its respects to the subjects whose lives it documented so closely. The Head and driving force of that School was Robert Park, a successful journalist - which shows conclusively that good sociology and good journalism are not at all antithetical. A relevant story: I once asked my old friend, Hal Finestone, a sociology professor whose doctorate was supervised by that great researcher Clifford Shaw, why he didn't do participant observation on the government of Chicago instead of 'cool cats' or young black drug users - his answer was that he did. The Mob was the effective government of Chicago at that time. Is contemporary Manchester very different? Good journalism, like good sociology, knows from having done the time that politicians are rarely the sole source of government and in far less control of events than they realize. Any vacuum in the effectiveness in the local state is soon filled by local powers.

Make Legal Claim Through Legal Expert
When people meet with an accident and get injuries, it will be their legal right to claim for compensation from those who has inflicted the injury or whose negligence was the reason for the accident. Just because it is legal as well as legitimate right to get compensation, at least a few among the accident victims may think, "Do I need a personal injury lawyer"? But, when they go through the tasks involved in the process they themselves will be convinced that the service of a personal injury attorney is essential for claiming for an accident. While claiming for compensation one has to provide the evidence for the accident and the evidence should be clear and valid. Further the claimant has to establish beyond doubt that there was negligence on the part of the motorist on the other side. In order to present all these details, there must be proper documentation. For proper documents and certificates, one has to approach claim adjusters, therapists, bill collectors, medical billing personnel, eye witnesses and other concerned officials. The claimant has to convince all these people and get things done in the proper way. Obviously, it is impossible for a person who has no knowledge or experience in such legal matters to organize all the requirements. A professional who handles similar cases only can manage to proceed in the proper way.
There are personal injury lawyers who have specialized in claiming compensation for accident injury. They will take care of all the aspects and proceed with the claim through proper channel. They will take all necessary actions and try their level best to ensure that their client receives 100% compensation. Most of the injury lawyers undertake accident claim cases on no win no fees basis. If they could not win compensation, they will not claim any service charges from the client.
For claiming for an accident of any type – a road accident or an accident occurred while using a defective apparatus – the injury lawyer is the right person to decide how to proceed with the claim and how to get compensation. When one has met with an accident instead of raising the question "Do I need a personal injury lawyer?" one should ask to him "Do I have a valid claim or was there any negligence on my part?" In case the physical or psychological injury suffered by him was due to the fault of another person, then he can make the claim through injury lawyer and can get adequate compensation.
Claimacc - About Author:
Do I need a personal injury lawyer to make a claim for an accident? No, claiming accident compensation has never been easier. All you have to do is follow the instruction laid out on this website and you can begin claiming for an accident without an attorney which results in more money in your pocket.For more details visit online.

Press Release:
Ochsner Medical Center Implants 1st Total Artificial Heart in Gulf South Region*
Bedridden for Months, 41-Year-Old Father of Five Was Walking Again Two Weeks after Implant
TUCSON, Ariz. – May 9, 2013 – When Alfred Williams was admitted to Ochsner Medical Center in December, the 41-year-old father of five had exhausted all treatment options for his enlarged heart. His condition, known as dilated cardiomyopathy, had progressed to end-stage heart failure affecting both sides of his heart. Unable to walk, he had been confined to a bed for months. Hospice care seemed like the only option Mr. Williams had left... until doctors approached him about becoming Ochsner's first patient to receive the SynCardia temporary Total Artificial Heart.
"This device serves as a bridge to transplant which would buy him the time he needs to rehabilitate while waiting on an organ transplant," said Dr. Hector Ventura, Section Head of Heart Failure and Transplantation at Ochsner Medical Center.
To save Mr. Williams' life, on Feb. 21, the Ochsner medical team, led by Dr. Aditya Bansal, performed the first implant of the SynCardia Total Artificial Heart in the Gulf South Region*. Within two weeks of the surgery, Mr. Williams was out of bed and walking again. He has since been moved out of the ICU and is taking twice daily walks around the hospital.
"This is a guy who didn't walk for three months before his implantation," said Dr. Bansal. "Now he is walking all over the hospital. It is a feeling of satisfaction and that as a group, we've made a difference – we've changed his life."
An experienced truck driver, Mr. Williams was diagnosed with heart problems after getting a "funny feeling" and having trouble breathing while driving one day. He immediately pulled over and dialed 911. By the time help arrived, he was seizing and receiving limited oxygen to his brain.
"If it wasn't for the Ochsner team, I probably wouldn't have made it," said Mr. Williams. "They took care of me and I'm determined to get better. I have to show them love because they helped me through this fight. I thank each and every one of them who was a part of this."
Today, Mr. Williams is on the transplant list waiting for a matching donor heart and kidney. With his new outlook on life, he has one goal in mind – to attend the high school graduation of his youngest daughter later this month, who plans to go to nursing school.

Modern Spanish / Classical Guitar
Dear Mr. John Clarke

She is a very big fan of yours and she has learned how to play both The Most Evolved an Revolution. I would appreciate it if you would take the time to watch this video of her playing THe Most Evolved for her music showcase. I would deeply appreciate it. She would love to hear form a professional guiltiest of how she's playing and to give her hopes up on the future of being as good as you one day.
Hi~Have you considered holding concerts?I am really desire to listen to your playing in live.If you have a plan about it , please tell me.Thanks!
Hi John,
I watched you play couple of months back near Pier 39. I recorded a video while you were playing and bought your String & Wood CD there. You make some really good music and I am enjoying every song in String & Wood. Do continue pursuing your passion and hope you will continue producing great music. Will definitely recommend your music to my friends. Thanks.
I had the pleasure of watching you in San Fransico on the water front. Can I just say, Thank you. Brillient. I am not a music minded person if you know what I mean, but I like a good sound when it presents its self. I was very very impressed. (I never look up an artist to say Thank you. However, there is a first for everything.) It was one of the highlights of our whole visit to America.
My wife and I are captivated by your music after we saw you in SF this week. Glad we picked up your CD. Now I am inspired to pick up my guitar more than ever! Thanks so much!!! And sorry if you minded the redneck hooooing and hollering, we are from Indiana and she especially couldn't help it. You were simply awesome at Pier 39.

Would like to get DVD of you playing Amazing Grace and Good Morning to All
Can you provide? Thank you.
I was trying to email you but the site will not allow my email address? My question is what would you recommend as a good guitar that would offer great sound and a smaller neck as my guitar is to wide in the neck and I have a bit of a time reaching all the chords. I am not looking for the most expensive or the cheapest. Something that I could advance on as well.
Thanks John
I have been trying to contact you but the email won;t go out to you. Is there another way I can contact you about a gig?
Jim Baldwin
Hi John Clarke,
I am 15 years old and thinking about buying lessons from your site.
Now my question is:
what sort of lessons are they?
Do I only get Tabs and other sheets or videos; what sort of videos? ( "over-the-shoulder-view" including talking and explaining, or only a play-thru?)
It would be nice if you would respond to me as soon as possible.
Sebastian Dupuis
I am trying to contact you, but the form says that the email is not sent. Could you please reply to me. I would like to use one of your songs in a class project for school. Thanks!
I just purchased your album off itunes. I must say, I was disappointed the album was missing: fuerte, pursuit of the cygnus thief, mosaic for shadows, and revolution. These were really the songs I bought the album for, though it's my bad for assuming Acoustik Guitar had them. I then tried to find the mp3's online with no luck. Can you give me a hand?

| "Entering into harmonic relationships

Ulster Bank to open city branch... on bank holiday
It could only happen in Northern Ireland - a bank opening on a bank holiday.
For the first time ever, that is exactly what Ulster Bank plans to do this Monday in its Belfast city centre branch.
Its Donegall Square East bank - located at the company's headquarters - will be open for business from 10am until 1pm on the spring Bank Holiday.
Some customers yesterday said they appreciated Ulster Bank's flexibility, particularly as most other financial institutions will be closed, in keeping with the long-standing tradition. Others, though, said they felt the plan to stay open, which was publicised on social media , was announced too late for most people to take advantage.
"Nobody expects a bank to be open on a bank holiday, so I don't see the staff who have to work in that particular branch on Monday being inundated with customers," one man told the Belfast Telegraph.
"On the other hand, it might be a good time for someone who has particular business to attend to, to take advantage of a quiet day and call in."
A customer who asked not to be named said she did not see the point of staffing one branch for a couple of hours in the morning, although she also welcomed the move.
"I understand that Ulster Bank wants to be seen to be offering us special treatment - and I guess that's a good thing - but I can't help thinking it's a bit unnecessary at the same time," she explained.
Ulster Bank tweeted a graphic to explain its new stance regarding the branch opening its doors on Bank Holiday Monday. The message read: "All branches are closed on Monday May 30, 2016, for a bank holiday, except our Belfast city office: Open 10am-1pm."
An Ulster Bank spokesman confirmed that the bank would be opening on Monday in line with the business's commitment to providing "help for what matters" for its customers across the city.
Two months ago, Ulster Bank customers hit out after the St Patrick's Day bank holiday led to delays in processing wages,
At the time, a spokesman said the problem arose because March 17 was a non-banking day in Northern Ireland but a normal banking day in Great Britain.
Last year, an IT glitch left some customers unable to access their accounts, following a similar problem in 2012.

A week ago I read a flattering comment in one of Heidi's posts. She says Intercom articles would be more enjoyable distributed as blog posts, and then adds that good blog posts are just as good as Intercom articles. Heidi writes:
The thing about
Intercom is that I think that these articles could all be blog posts. It would be a lot handier to read these articles in a Google Reader style because currently, to read these articles online, you have to open PDF file after PDF file (think slow), and that's only if you're a member (in the era of social buzz, password-protected content rarely works, unless you're the Wall Street Journal). The content itself is also not higher in quality than tech comm postings from good bloggers, such as Tom Johnson. ("Recommended tech comm articles and how to read them for free")
I agree with Heidi, but it wasn't until I read Paul Graham's reasoning that I began to truly be convinced that blogs could equal or surpass print media in quality. Paul writes:
I've noticed for a while that the stuff I read on individual people's sites is as good as or better than the stuff I read in newspapers and magazines. And now I have independent evidence: the top links on Reddit are generally links to individual people's sites rather than to magazine articles or news stories.
My experience of writing for magazines suggests an explanation. Editors. They control the topics you can write about, and they can generally rewrite whatever you produce. The result is to damp extremes. Editing yields 95th percentile writing—95% of articles are improved by it, but 5% are dragged down...
On the web, people can publish whatever they want. Nearly all of it falls short of the editor-damped writing in print publications. But the pool of writers is very, very large. If it's large enough, the lack of damping means the best writing online should surpass the best in print. And now that the web has evolved mechanisms for selecting good stuff, the web wins net. Selection beats damping, for the same reason market economies beat centrally planned ones. ("Web 2.0")
Paul says that at times editors dampen the original articles by making them more moderate, less extreme. Five percent of the time, this damping actually diminishes the articles' quality. Given that blog authors don't dampen their posts, blogs have the potential to surpass the quality of print media -- at least for those 5% of articles that are hurt by editors. Five percent doesn't seem like much, but given the vast numbers of blogs, 5% can add up. Blogs allow all of the content that would otherwise be filtered squeak through and find visibility.
The second part of the argument is selection. No one will argue that, on average, an article from a magazine is higher quality than a blog post. However, when you buy a magazine, such as STC's Intercom, you typically get 10 articles. Of those articles, only about 5 are interesting. That's a quality ratio of 1:2.
With blog posts, rather than 10 articles, you get about one hundred times that. I have about 200 feeds integrated into my Google Reader. I'd say on average, I scan down 20 post titles until I find one that's interesting to me. The quality ratio, then, is 1:20.
On the surface, the ratio looks better for print media. However, here's the key piece of information: I have 1,000+ blog posts in my feedreader at least weekly, and only one issue of Intercom that comes out monthly. Mathematically, that means on average there are 200 good blog posts for every 5 good articles in Intercom per month. And of those 200 blog posts, at least 5% of them have the appealing content that the editorial process sometimes takes away.
In sum, not only does published print media suffer from a smaller selection, which makes it harder to hit the target of the readers' interest, but published media also suffers from damping, which at times inappropriately softens the author's original thoughts and style. Blogs dominate print media by offering a hundred times more articles, which have a greater probability of aligning with readers' interests, and the content is never dampened from the original, authentic expression.
Blog posts also have several other qualities going for them:
I found the Graham article from On Writing, a blog by Miranda Bennett. About a year ago I listened to a podcast on hackers by Paul Graham and really enjoyed it.

Our practice includes advising clients, undertaking legal audits and reviews, designing compliance programmes and manuals, assisting clients in preparing for dawn raids and providing legal counsel on matters of competition law generally.

Newport's Jon Mould roared into the limelight of British and Welsh cycling during 2013 but wants to use it as a springboard for even greater things in 2014.
Mould hopes to be in the field for the British Cycling National Road Championships around Monmouthshire in June which is also expected to include many of the UK's greatest current riders.
And with that experience in his legs, it is onwards towards Glasgow where Mould should be part of the Welsh team that has every chance of claiming Commonwealth Games medals on both the track and road in late July and early August.
Mould's first season in 2013 among the senior cycling world has been astonishing. It has seen him win a bronze medal on the track in November's World Cup Scratch Race in Manchester, be recruited for new British road racing squad Team NFTO Pro Cycling and win the Madison, with partner George Atkins, and the Omnium at the National Track Championships
Now as he puts in the miles at the Wales National Velodrome in Newport ahead of the new year, the 22-year-old reflected on his amazing rise and looked ahead to mixing it with Britain's best at the National Championships, where Sir Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome,
Mark Cavendish and Geraint Thomas will have their final opportunity to compete before they begin the Tour de France in Yorkshire the following week.
Mould said: "This year has been awesome. From way back in October 2012, when I got third in the Points Race in Cali (at the Track World Cup), it has just gone from there.
"I was with Team UK Youth at the time and the success we had, which was spread across the board between us all, meant it turned into an amazing year.
"The Tour of Britain was pretty good with awesome support. The Welsh stage, and particularly Caerphilly Mountain, where we were being cheered all the way around, was great and then onto the London stage. It was a brilliant week."
Mould has ridden four National Championships already in his career, mainly in the Junior race, but racing on Welsh soil will be just something else entirely, bigger even than the experience of riding with the continentals and senior big-name home stars in the Tour of Britain.
It is the third time that the National Championships have been staged in Monmouthshire. The Elite Men's race was won by Tour de France stage winner David Millar in 2007 and Kristian House won in 2009 after a brilliant sprint through a packed-out Abergavenny.
The 2009 extravaganza, which also included Wiggins and Froome in the men's field before they each created history by winning the Tour de France, included the women's road race, won for a tenth time by Welsh star Nicole Cooke, and the Junior Road Race which was taken England's 2010 Commonwealth Games track silver medallist George Atkins.
Mould said: "I rode the Nationals this year in Glasgow over the Commonwealth Games course so that was quite nice to get on it and have a look at it.
"So it definitely should be a good race in Monmouthshire. I raced in Abergavenny as a junior (in 2009) and that was good enough so I am really looking forward to this year.
"It will be home roads and racing against the big boys will be something else. This just shows how big racing is and how popular is has become to have it in Wales again. The best roads in Britain are the Welsh roads - I am sure the Yorkshire lads will disagree with that - but definitely, the Welsh roads are my favourite to ride on."
The Championship weekend will also include the women's National Road Championships that precede the Elite Men's race on June 29 while, three days earlier, the stars will be out for the National Time Trial Championships through Monmouthshire.
Mould added: "It will be an awesome weekend of racing for everyone."
So would Mould fancy capping his year by claiming the National Jersey himself ahead of the Commonwealth Games? He said: "I would like to say I will win it. Realistically, I don't know if it will happen but I will give it a good go."
He spent three years in the British Cycling Academy and this was his first campaign away from that environment. So as he gears up for a trip to Mexico and another track World Cup in January before a season capped by the Nationals and the Commonwealth Games, he thinks Wales will be a real force in Glasgow, particularly on the track.
It will be Mould's second Commonwealth Games, having ridden in Delhi 2010, and he added: "We have a really good team with Sam Harrison, Owain Doull and me on the track and on the road as well with Geriant with us. I think we could get a medal somewhere."

Well I don't know (#49)
I have no knowledge, not even a rumour,but it just showered a bit today and that is the first rain of any sort for a while, it has been a dry old summer, but my antennae must have detected the new levels of humidity as I get a strong feeling that Ricoh are up to something. 2+24= something more than 20.
How is that for an unsubstantiated know-nothing rumour - must be the best waste of time for quite a long year.
Give it a month and then I will no doubt duly and humbly apologise: "it wus jest the ringing in my ears m'lud".
Meanwhile I got meself my first ever A12 50 and and broke the habit of a lifetime and have me an A16 zoom (kit). Must go off and find another straw to suck on while I think a bit more about this.
Don't know why I missed out on the A12 50 the first time around - it is a pretty good bit of kit, especially when I refigured out how to update its firmware settings automatically to match my other Ricoh modules.

Engaging the What?
Revelation and Culture
In the academic year 1908/1909, Dr. Herman Bavinck delivered the L. P. Stone Lectures at Princeton.[1] Of the eight lectures, only six were actually delivered. The English translation was performed by Bavinck's lifelong friend, Geerhardus Vos, as well as Henry Dosker and Nicholas Steffens. For the next while, I want us to investigate Bavinck's undelivered lecture, "Revelation and Culture," especially in light of the fact that there is a renewed interest in culture in our time and that many evangelical and Reformed churches are greatly concerned about "engaging the culture," to use the modern phrase.
It is not illegitimate to ask about and seek to engage "the culture," but what seems to be missing from these discussions is the laying of a solid foundation so that all parties understand—fully—what we mean when we say "the culture" and precisely how we go about "engaging" it. The current discussion leaves too many questions unasked and therefore suffers from lack of clarity and precision. Let's put it in the realm of Presbyterian and Reformed theology. If we engage the culture, what are acceptable and unacceptable areas of compromise? When we engage the culture, what are the most important presuppositions to mention first? How far, if at all, can we cooperate with Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox, Mormons, and Muslims in engaging the culture? If we join with these groups how do we make it clear that we do not embrace their theology? To what extent should we make our Christian worldview (i.e., our views of God, man, society, truth, knowledge, and ethics) known from the outset if we decide to engage the culture? Do we need any particular expertise if we engage the culture? What about military chaplains? If a Christian chaplain is commanded to lead a Mormon or Muslim service, must he do it?
In the past, I have had numerous conversations with laymen and –women, pastors, and seminary professors about culture and have encountered vagaries, generalities, and confusion. Most need to rethink or think about for the first time what culture actually is. We often use the word as if we're all on the same page or that we all understand what we mean when we use the term. We aren't and we don't. Many within the Reformed camp have not yet read Kuyper's lectures on Calvinism (currently published under the name Christianity: A Total World and Life System). Not that Kuyper is the end-all and be-all of cultural engagement, but he does supply us with a good leg up on what engaging the culture might entail.
The books published on culture are legion—for they are many. Reinhold Niebuhr published Moral Man and Immoral Society in 1932. In 1979, the Theologischer Verlag in Zürich, Switzerland reissued Emil Brunner's Christentum und Kultur. H. Richard Niebuhr's Christ and Culture (1951) remains a seminal work on the relationship of Christ and Christians to culture. The late professor of Art History at the Free University of Amsterdam, Hans Rookmaaker's Modern Art and the Death of a Culture is a fascinating read. (I got to know Rookmaaker when I studied at the Free. He was one of the Dutch experts on art and the history of art.) Almost anything written by Francis Schaeffer was his attempt to understand and engage culture. Ken Myers' All God's Children and Blue Suede Shoes. Christians and Popular Culture, remains a very worthwhile read. Most recently, D.A. Carson released his volume Christ & Culture Revisited (2008). Indeed, it is fruitful to revisit such a convoluted issue. Another work that is very valuable, but has not been translated into English is Klaas Schilder's Dutch treatment in Christus en Cultuur. And with these books I've merely scratched the surface. I mentioned these particular works, however, because they put more ground under our feet than a great deal of what passes for culture.
For example, there is a magazine that is not an official publication of the PCA called byFaith. Quite often—almost every issue—there is a report of another PCA church plant that started up and prior to the service (or afterwards) there was an art exhibit, a jazz or classical quartet, brie cheese, and chardonnay for the initiates of finer culture. But is this actually engaging culture? There is a movement afoot today for Christians to be more involved in culture and cultural activities. I applaud that initiative and hope and pray that more Christians will become truly involved with "the arts." I have a proviso, though. As Christians engage in "the arts" they will not jettison, compromise, or neglect good theology in the process.
I issue that warning because a real danger exists in this area. Once Christians begin "engaging the culture" there is a clear and present danger to compromise their faith at all levels. What lengths should a Christian actor or actress be willing to go to land a part in a movie? Should they be willing to perform scenes involving nudity or sexuality? How about swearing or taking the Lord's Name in vain? What or who determines what good art is? Do you have to like opera to engage the culture? What if you cannot stand atonality? Are you a bigot or just uneducated—or both? What if you think movies generally are a waste of time, but go occasionally? Are you then a cultural Philistine or wise? What if you've never watched an episode of the most popular TV programs, have never seen, or care to see, American Idol, Oprah, Dr. Phil, or any "reality" show? In the realm of literature, do you have to read novels in order to engage the culture and be culturally hip? How do I, how does someone like Nancy Pelosi engage the auto industry? How politically savvy do I have to be in order to engage the culture at that level? Understand that I have not even begun to scratch the surface of questions that need to be asked and answered in a solid biblical fashion. We all live in culture, but to what degree ought we to engage it as Christians?
The late Dr. Klaas Schilder starts us in the right direction when he declares, "The problem of the relation between Christ and the culture immediately touches the foundational question of Christian thinking and behavior."[2] Schilder was one of Bavinck's students. He touches on the crux of the matter that has not yet come out of the woodwork in our current discussions regarding culture. Have we first asked the foundational questions based on Christian thinking and behavior? Some have; most haven't. Schilder also reminds us that there is no undisputed definition of culture. Theists and pantheists are one-hundred-eighty degrees out of phase with one another with their respective definitions of culture. Christian theists are at odds with non-Christian theists on many points. Strict two kingdom Lutherans have disagreements with Calvinists about the nature of culture.[3]
Among the philosophers, Plato and Aristotle disagreed as did Spinoza and Descartes, Kant and Fichte, and Schleiermacher and Schlegel. In writing this series of articles, I'm not saying that Bavinck has the last word on the subject, but I am saying that we will do well to listen to a man such as Bavinck, who reflected long and hard God's revelation to man and culture.
At the outset of the chapter "Revelation and Culture," Bavinck outlines the situation historically. He writes, "When Christianity entered the world, it was immediately called on to face a difficult problem. Christianity, which is based on revelation, appeared in a world which had long existed and led its own life."[4] The problem of autonomy remains today and vigorously refuses to be tamed. Secularists scream about Christians ramming their values down their throats and the reaction of some members of our culture to the rule of law is evident in the recent outbursts and threatened lawsuits in the Proposition 8 measure in California. In this sense, what Christianity initially experienced has not greatly changed in our time. The problem is still, although somewhat altered, pretty much the same. One of the changes, however, is that far too many Christians are not sure what the Bible says on any given issue or how to apply what Scripture says to the postmodern world in which we live. Since many Christians aren't certain what the Bible says and a representative number of them believe truth is relative, these Christians are somewhat different from their early Church forebears. The other problem, however, which is autonomy, is the constant in the equation.
Of course, orthodox Christians take the reality of sin into account whereas many modern Christians from either the mega-church or Emergent church movements deal with leaders who refuse to use the word sin for fear it will "turn off" the "seeker." McLaren despises the word sin, Osteen promises not to use it as does Schuller. (The young Schuller might use it of his father now that dad has fired him.) Hybels knew that if he used it, unchurched Harry and Harriet would walk out. So we have more than one generation of evangelical who must ask the question: Saved from what?
When you combine this with the fact that secularists now have a longer existence and have led their own life since the beginning of the New Testament Church, is it any wonder that our culture is hurting? The world has done more than establish a beachhead. In Thomas Sowell's words, the barbarians are inside the gates. Life inside the gates is described by Bavinck this way: "A society had been formed which was full of intricate interests."[5] Indeed. The territory had been marked off. Christ claimed all and everything as his, but man's autonomous culture was not going to leave without a fight. Therefore, simply showing the culture that we've been to the latest avant garde movie or play or read the latest controversial book on the New York Times bestseller list isn't going to cut it. Besides, all we do in such instances is to affirm that our IQs might be in the double digits and that, like many secularists, we need a therapist to care for our neuroses.
So, says Bavinck, when Christianity appeared on the scene there was already an established order, the arts and sciences had been practiced and perfected, morals and habits had assumed a fixed form, conquests had been undertaken, and the United Chariot Workers union was already in place. The economy was good and the three largest chariot manufacturers didn't need a bailout. The Gospel found itself in this type of setting. "And thus the question was inevitably raised how the relations between the two should be adjusted."[6] That is precisely the question that demands a clear and in depth answer today.
Bavinck is aware that this question may be put in various forms because of its importance and extent, but, he adds, "the problem always remains the same."[7] Furthermore, how Christians engage culture is not a merely theoretical matter that belongs to scientific or philosophical thought, but rather one that "forces itself upon every man in his every day life."[8] Therefore, Christians are to be involved as much as possible in the arts, but simultaneously he must realize that engaging the culture is a 24/7, mundane task. That being the case, the primary step for any Christian in this sphere is to be thoroughly grounded in and acquainted with the contents of Scripture. It is conceivable that Christians—especially in this time when we have neglected the arts for so long—can become so enamored of culture and can look so kindly upon it that they fail "to do justice to the rights and requirements of the Christian confession."[9]

NIGEL Don, the MSP for Angus North and Mearns, has welcomed the news that Iain Duncan Smith, the secretary for work and pensions, announced exemptions to the 'bedroom tax' for military families, foster carers and disabled children.
Mr Don said: "Not often do we hear good news from the Tories but this is one piece I'll happily take. Our soldiers, sailors and airman have had enough problems with cutbacks, relocations, redundancies and more frequent active service postings. The last thing they needed was another kick in the teeth by way of their parents being taxed on their bedroom while they are away fighting for their country abroad. I hope that Westminster will realise the real effect that this tax will have on families, and will abandon the proposal in its entirety."
He also welcomed the exemptions to foster carers and disabled children and noted overall the 'bedroom tax' will push half a million more children into poverty.

Middlebury police officers were investigating a shoplifting complaint and visited a LaGrange County home Wednesday on CR 555N near the west county line, where the suspected shoplifter lived.
Officers reportedly noticed a "one-pot" meth lab in plain view outside of the house.
Officers from the LaGrange County Sheriff's Department and the Indiana State Police were called in to assist.
The occupants of the house were removed pending a search warrant. At the time, officers reported noticing a strong chemical smell in the house.
Once the search warrant was granted and served, officers located a substance believed to be methamphetamine along with items associated with the manufacturing of meth, paraphernalia and a second "one-pot" lab located in the kitchen area.
Jeremy Moon, 29, of CR 555N was arrested on preliminary charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance.
Joshua Sanders, 25, of Elkhart was arrested on preliminary charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and maintaining a common nuisance.
Two others were also arrested at the residence:

Plugin Varnish Purges
Fork of wp-varnish : http://github.com/pkhamre/wp-varnish
Based on Varsnish plugins by pkhamre, wfelipe, eitch, but heavily forked for extensibility.
WordPress Varnish Purges is a plugin that purges new and edited content, it's intent is to be usable for a multi-site installation, to support all necessary purge orders for wordpress and to be expandable via extensions.
This plugin purges your varnish cache it's intent is do do it for any action taken. This plugin supports what is called extensions that can be added to add special purges for specific wordpress plugins.
This plugins is mainly aimed at multi-sites installations (but can be used on a mono site installation) and requires some knowledge about varnish and vcl files.
|Olivier Dupuis for Le Monde interactif
|cache, caching, performance, plugins support, purge, speed, varnish

- Suppress plugins wp-touch because its not needed (number of purges divided
- by two with wp-touch, silly me)
- Add purge order when post status is modified.
- test existence of main object to avoid fatal error.
- Varnish configuration is now sitewide.
- refactor a bit the admin page (only shown to network admin)
- by default purge page and comment navigation

When will be V1.0 be relased
This plugin will be in fully tested V1.0 by end of may 2011.
Does this just work?
Yes. Exdtensivly tested in multi-site with sub-domain install. But has to be tested in non sub-domain (site.com/blogname)
But how should my varnish configuration file look like?
I have provided a simple VCL that can be used as a reference.
Does it work for Multi-Site (or WPMU)?
Yes. Activating the plugin site-wide will provide the functionality to all blogs. Edit wp-config.php and include these lines just before "That's all, stop editing!" message:
global $varnish_servers; $varnish_servers = array('192.168.0.1:80','192.168.0.2:80'); define('VARNISH_SHOWCFG',1);
The varnish servers array will configure multiple servers for sending the purges. If VARNISH_SHOWCFG is defined, configuration will be shown to all users who access the plugin configuration page (but they can't edit it).
Planned in a really near future
- update wordpress VCL (done commit
- extension check for a warning when unsupported plugins or widget is installed.
- support for nextgen gallery
- wiki, especially for varnish configuration.

It's Not Just About Getting InThursday, May 4th, 2017
Some students go to college knowing exactly what they want to do. But most don't. At large state universities, it is not uncommon that over 75% percent of freshmen, even those who have declared a major, say they are uncertain about their major, and half will change their minds after they declare, sometimes more than once. That is one big reason that only 37% of students graduate in four years.
Colleges and universities have vested interests in students declaring early. Retention rates for declared students are better, and they are more likely to graduate in four years. But college officials also recognize that deciding on a major can be overwhelming, especially when coupled with the fear that a wrong choice will result in added semesters and tuition. Especially when coupled with the fear that a wrong choice will result in added semesters and tuition. Students no longer have the luxury of stumbling into a major or making mistakes, not that they ever did.
This requires thinking ahead. Teenagers are not expected to know what to do with the rest of their lives at age 18, but with coaching, they can cover the bases with prudent planning. Some majors have a curriculum that follows a tight sequence of courses. It's easier to switch out of engineering than it is to take it up later in the college career.
The biggest mistake students make is failing to research what's required of the major, and the profession. Nursing may sound attractive because a student "wants to help people," but nursing students take the same demanding math and science curriculum as premed students, and the work is often technical and not for every kindhearted soul. It is also a similar track with Physical Therapy.
More niche filling additions to the list obviously reflect marketplace trends and student demand, like culinary science/culinology, digital arts, and sports communication. At Montclair State University in New Jersey, which offers 300 majors, minors and concentrations, new fashion studies major has been hugely popular, thanks to the university's proximity to Manhattan; with Madison Square Garden and Giants Stadium in sight. It also guides the ambitious undergrad toward internship opportunities in a sports industry and event-planning major within its business school.
Still, it's difficult to predict the employment market. That is why I will encourage students to think "outside the box". In other words, if the job doesn't exist…create one. Many students choose majors they think will lead to jobs, but four years from now freshmen will be applying for jobs that don't even exist today.
Most employers are looking for transferable skills…the ability to problem solve, work collaboratively, write and speak clearly and think critically. These can be developed in any liberal arts discipline. It makes no sense to "suffer through a major because you think it will lead to employment.
In the final analysis, wherever a teenager goes and does after high school, which I call "Crossing the Gap…Preparing for the Transition", where they go does not matter as much as what they do when they got there.
The late great business philosopher, Jim Rohn, said this ~"A formal education will make you a living, but self-education will make you a fortune!" These two college graduates understood that. You can too! 1 (978) 820-1295
