The Sports Xchange
By Jon Gold, The Sports Xchange
LOS ANGELES -- The San Antonio Spurs stomped all over the decimated and drama-filled Los Angeles Lakers 103-82 Sunday at Staples Center to claim a 4-0 sweep in their Western Conference playoff quarterfinal series.
In a Los Angeles season chock full of losses and lunacy, the last game was little different than the other 85, as much about Lakers' dysfunction as the Spurs' dominance.
San Antonio led by nine less than five minutes into the game, had an 18-point halftime lead and moved in front by as much as 22 in the third quarter as the Lakers' hobbled roster was no match for the Spurs' balance.
By then, Los Angeles was not only without Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Metta World Peace and Jodie Meeks, but also Dwight Howard.
The center was ejected after picking up his second technical foul with 9 minutes, 51 seconds left in the third quarter, exiting the game to little hurrah. Bryant then limped out to the floor, on crutches due to his torn Achilles tendon, emerging from the locker room to a standing ovation before taking his seat behind the bench.
Even with Bryant and Co., the Lakers may not have been able to overcome a Spurs team playing some of its best basketball of the season.
San Antonio forced 22 turnovers and held Los Angeles to 29.4 percent 3-point shooting. The Lakers also hurt their cause with 41.7 percent free-throw shooting.
The Spurs held the Los Angeles backcourt of Darius Morris and Andrew Goudelock to 22 points after allowing 44 points in a 31-point win Friday.
Tony Parker had 23 points to lead San Antonio, which had five players in double-figures. Kawhi Leonard and DeJuan Blair added 13 apiece for the Spurs.
Pau Gasol had 16 points and eight rebounds to lead Los Angeles. Goudelock had 14 points, and Antawn Jamison added 12 off the bench.
NOTES: While the Lakers were without a bevy of players, San Antonio was without Tiago Splitter (ankle), Boris Diaw (back) and the recently signed Tracy McGrady. ... San Antonio won the regular-season series 2-1 after also taking two of three from Los Angeles last season. All three regular-season games between the two teams were decided by fewer than six points: two- and three- point Spurs wins and a five-point Lakers home win on April 14. ... The Spurs and Lakers have met in the playoffs 11 times, the most for San Antonio against another opponent. ... Los Angeles have won 38 of 49 first-round series since moving from Minneapolis. ... The Lakers entered the game with an 81 percent playoff home winning percentage since moving to Staples Center. ... Both teams finished the regular season ranked in the top six in the NBA in scoring (San Antonio, fourth, 103 ppg; Los Angeles, sixth, 102.2 ppg) but the Spurs were also ranked in the top 10 in opposing scoring, while the Lakers ranked 24th. ... Duncan is the all-time leader in playoff defensive rebounds with 1,696.

There are different reasons people use Unix-like operating systems, including configurable, availability free of charge, powerful command line interface an many more. Some people are motivated by the moral issue: they reject non-free software. Specifically for such users Free Software Foundation developed Guidelines for Free System Distributions and created the list of absolutely free ("as in freedom") distributions.

Description: Renowned bladesmith Masami Asai passed away in the summer of 2014. He will be greatly missed � as a person, an artist, and one of the truly great knifemakers of Japan. Before his passing, his apprentice, Yamamoto, was given the right to continue to make knives under the Asai name. We are working with Yamamoto-san to determine which knife lines will be continued. We regret that this means that only those knives that are in stock can be ordered at this time.
The gyuto is modeled after the French pattern chef's knife. Longer and slimmer than the santoku, it is well suited to slicing and chopping -- an ideal general purpose chef's knife. The long blade is needed for the sawing motion required to slice meats and vegetables and the slim profile keeps the weight low and the balance perfect.
Each knife is individually hand-forged beginning with an aogami super carbon steel core (hagane). The smaller crystalline size of this carbon steel results in superior edge holding when compared to nearly any other steel. Many knifemakers and users feel that aogami super is among the best carbon steels used on kitchen knives today. Aogami super combines limited rust resistance with carbon steel performance. The central core is surrounded by many layers of deeply etched damascus. The top section of the blade features a hand hammered surface (known as tsuchime) that helps food release from the knife's side when cutting. A dark Kurouchi finish results from the last phase of heat treatment and adds a limited degree of rust resistance. This time consuming process creates a knife with outstanding edge holding and beauty. The blade is distal tapered for optimal balance and has an extremely thin, keen edge for the highest performance. Because this knife is forged from carbon steels, we recommend using camellia oil to avoid rust.The "Wa" style handle is octagon in shape and is sculpted from macassar ebony with a pakkawood ferrule. This natural, ambidextrous handle is easy to grip and lasts a lifetime. Like other kitchen knives, this knife should not be put in a dishwasher.

With the kickoff of the summer travel season, I thought I'd talk a little about traveling with the little crumb-snatchers.
Reduce the Stress for Kids: Let's face it, checkpoints seem like busy and noisy places to children (and some adults too) and the prime place for a potential meltdown. By knowing the procedures and taking a few tips, we can't guarantee you'll prevent a meltdown, but you'll have a better shot at gliding through the hoop with only net. If your child is old enough to understand, talk to them and let them know what to expect. Explain what the checkpoint is for and what they're going to have to do. For some children, getting an idea of what the security checkpoint is helps to reduce stress and apprehension.
We Can't Hold Your Child: Our officers would love to help you out and hold your child, but for liability reasons, they're not allowed. If your hands are full and an officer doesn't offer to help (most do), let them know that you need some help and they'll help you through the checkpoint.
Children 12 and Under: Children 12 and under can leave their shoes, light jackets and headwear on during screening.
We Have To Screen Blankies, Etc.: If your child has a favorite toy or blanket that they never let go of, explain to them in advance that it's going to have to take a trip through the X-ray tunnel and they'll get it right back. (You may wonder why we have to screen such innocent items? Because people will try to hide prohibited items or weapons in them - we once found a gun hidden inside of a teddy bear.)
Don't Send Your Kids Through the X-ray: I know the unwritten parenting rule of never waking a sleeping baby, but our officers can't allow you to put your infant in their infant carrier through the X-ray to let them continue their nap. Yes, we've been asked many times, and no, you can't.
We Will Not Separate You From Your Children (even if you want us to): If your child has to undergo secondary screening, you will go with your child. This may require you to be screened as well, but this works out, because the child gets to see it happen to you and that it's no big deal. You can also request a private screening if you don't want your child to be screened in public. We will not ask you to do anything that will separate you from your child or children.
Baby Formula, Breast Milk, Medicines & Juice: Medications, baby formula and food, breast milk, and juice are allowed in reasonable quantities exceeding 3.4 ounces (100ml) and are not required to be in the zip-top bag. Declare these items for inspection at the checkpoint. Click here to learn more about 3-1-1.
Snack Time!: Kids love their snacks. Food items that are in the form of a liquid or gel are generally not permitted however, items such as cakes, bread, donuts, ham sandwiches, etc. are all permitted. Here is a list of items that are prohibited at the checkpoint ... Creamy dips and spreads (cheeses, peanut butter, jams and salad dressings, jams, jellies, maple syrup, and soups).
Double Check Your Child's Bag: Your child might want to take their toy gun or sword in their carry-on bag and think nothing of it. In the X-ray, toy hand grenades, guns and knives can look just like the real thing, and will hold you up at the checkpoint. To be safe, you might double check your child's carry-on to make sure none of these items are in there.
Children with Disabilities: If your child has a disability or medical condition, please read our separate section on traveling with Children with Disabilities.
ID Questions: If your child is younger than 18, they are not required to have ID to travel. They'll just need their boarding pass.
Advanced Imaging Technology: Just as with adults, Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) screening is optional for all passengers, including children. If you would prefer, you may request alternate screening for your children, which could include a pat-down.
There are many expert travelers out there in the blogosphere that have some great advice. Seek it out for many more great tips from some travel hardened road warriors. For example, check out Jet with Kids.

Saints are continuing to play hardball with Liverpool over a deal for Adam Lallana.
The Reds, who are due to complete the capture of Rickie Lambert today, also want to land Lallana before the World Cup begins, writes GORDON SIMPSON.
Liverpool lodged a final bid of £25m on Friday night and informed Saints that the transfer must be completed ahead of this summer's tournament, or else they will turn their attention elsewhere.
However, despite that ultimatum, which the Anfield club also issued over a deal for Lambert, Saints have so far remained unmoved.
As chairman Ralph Krueger revealed last week, they want to hold off on all transfer dealings until a replacement for Mauricio Pochettino is appointed.
They broke from that policy after Liverpool's bid for Lambert, believing that it could do more harm than good to prevent the striker making a dream move to his boyhood club.
However, they feel in a stronger position when it comes to Lallana, as is the case in regards to Luke Shaw, with Manchester United making their own attempts to push through a transfer for the teenage left-back this week.
Saints have so far ignored Liverpool's offer and, with Lallana and the rest of the England squad having landed in Miami last night for a pre-World Cup camp, time is running out for the Reds to strike a deal.
Liverpool, who also want to sign Dejan Lovren this summer, are willing to send staff to Florida this week to conduct a medical, with the national team manager, Roy Hodgson, having said he will allow that to happen during free time if necessary.
However, a deal would need to be agreed with Saints first, and if that does not happen by the end of the week then there is no prospect of it being done before the World Cup is over.
Lallana has previously said that it "makes no difference" to him whether his future is sorted out before or after the tournament, although he is understood to be interested in exploring the possibility of a move to Anfield.
But Liverpool are adamant that they will not offer any more for the player, and although they may be bluffing about switching their attention to other targets, there is a distinct possibility they may chose to move on if this week proves fruitless for them.
If Lallana is desperate to go, he could attempt to force his way out, but, given his affinity to Saints, that would be a big call for him to make.
One Saints player who is definitely leaving before the World Cup is Lambert.
The 32-year-old should be confirmed as a Liverpool player today, having passed a medical on Saturday morning, with Saints receiving up to £5m for him, plus add-ons.

Susanne just happens to live in the 7th arrondissement, so the Eiffel Tower is her very good neighbor.
On the return trip from Chateau Vaux le Vicomte, Susanne made a swing around the tower in her Smart car! YAY
The lights were just about to come on....
Five minutes every hour, the Eiffel Tower lights up like a...are there even words to describe this?
We got out of the car for a closer look too...
Susanne has her own special view out her window.
She practically owns the thing!!
Oooops I forgot to show you this fab chocolate Eiffel at the Chateau...
Here's another Eiffel Susanne showed me. I went to Bertrand's yesterday, but more on that later.
So it's bye-bye for now Eiffel Tower and Paris.
I hop on the plane this afternoon. Well I do if I can fit all my stuff back into my tiny suitcase. I'll see you soon in New York and please have the JetLag medicine ready. I'll need it!
PS I've been remiss not to introduce you to Susanne! et voila...

Were going to do everything we can to try to make sure that this Keystone pipeline is, in fact, approved. Its 20,000 direct jobs. Its over 100,000 indirect jobs. Speaker of the House John Boehner
If Canada proceeds (to build the pipeline), and we do nothing, it will be game over for the climate. James Hansen, head of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
n n n
In summer 2011, the distinguished American climate scientist James Hansen and more than 1,000 others were arrested in front of the White House for acts of peaceful civil disobedience while protesting the proposed construction of the Keystone oil pipeline.
That fall, Republican House Speaker John Boehners assertion that building the pipeline would create 20,000 new direct jobs was challenged by the State Department which put the figure at 5,000 to 6,000 temporary jobs. Boehners considerable personal investments in companies that would profit from the pipelines construction subsequently appeared in the press.
Meanwhile, Hillary Clintons State Department, which was responsible for approving the pipeline because it crosses an international border, was caught up in a series of conflict-of-interest scandals. The departments environmental review of the project was conducted by a firm that also works for TransCanada, the company that proposes to build the pipeline; further investigation exposed a complex web of financial and political ties between TransCanada, Clinton staffers, President Barack Obama and other Washington high rollers.
The Environmental Protection Agency slammed the State Departments environmental review as woefully inadequate. With an election-year scandal brewing and sensing strong opposition to the pipeline from environmental activists in his base, Obama put the decision to approve or reject the project on hold in January 2012. The final decision should be made in April.
Watching Washington can be fun. I could regale you with many more disreputable details of the corporate and political insiders games surrounding the pipeline controversy. But its time to talk about whats really at stake here.
If built, the 1,750-mile Keystone pipeline would bring tar sand oil from Alberta, Canada, to U.S. refineries bordering the Gulf of Mexico. There it would be refined and sold on the world market.
The oil is not found in liquid form, but is impregnated in sandstone that is strip-mined from the Earth beneath peat bogs, atmospheric carbon sinks which stretch across a vast area of Alberta. The mined composites are then sent to local plants where the oil which is actually bitumen, the highly viscous asphalt used for paving roads is extracted by an energy-intensive process that releases copious quantities of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
The bitumen would then be shipped under high pressure through TransCanadas proposed pipeline, which crosses numerous rivers and remote and environmentally sensitive areas of several states. Once refined and burned in power plants, tar sands oil puts about 30 percent more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than conventional oil.
So there are plenty of serious environmental concerns about the Keystone project before we even get to the really big concern the reason thousands of people are now willing to be arrested to stop the pipeline.
Climate activist Bill McKibben has called the pipeline the fuse to the biggest carbon bomb on the planet. This is part hyperbole and part truth. The hyperbole is that there is plenty of other carbon, most of it in the form of coal, that can be burned.
The truth is that Albertas huge tar oil reserves are among the most accessible sources of fossil fuel on the planet. If most of it is burned, which could happen rather quickly if the pipeline is built, we will no longer have any chance of staying below the internationally agreed-upon targets for carbon dioxide concentrations that would allow us to avoid dangerous climate change Hansens game over.
Last week, thousands of Americans gathered in Washington and marched to the White House to demand that the Keystone pipeline never be built. In honor of the occasion, the Sierra Club endorsed civil disobedience as an environmental defense strategy for the first time in its 120-year history. Sierra Club executive director Michael Brune was arrested, along with celebrities and environmental activists such as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Julian Bond, McKibben and Hansen.
John Kerry, the new secretary of state, has been outspoken on climate issues, saying in a 2012 Senate speech, Climate change is one of two or three of the most serious threats our country now faces, if not the most serious. The pipeline approval decision is his to make.
Not everyone who wants to was able to go to D.C. to protest the pipeline. But there are many ways to communicate. Perhaps some input from concerned citizens will encourage Kerry to draw a line in the tar sands at our ecological house.
Philip S. Wenz, who grew up in Durango and Boulder, now lives in Corvallis, Ore., where he teaches and writes about environmental issues. Reach him via e-mail through his website, www.your-ecological-house.com.

Tuesday, December 18, 2012 - Jirka and Milos - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Jirka Maly seems to be trying to learn about ropes and knots. Milos Zambo arrives and shows him a little bit about it. In the process Milos takes the lead and starts to kiss Jirka, who responds eagerly. Soon they are both shirtless and have their hard cocks our of their shorts. Jirka quickly goes down on Milos' big, hard cock and suck it. Milos moans as he feels those sweet lips wrapped around his cock. He grabs Jirka's head and fucks his dick in and out of his mouth. Jirka takes his time, enjoying the taste of that cock, and sucks on the balls too. Then he stands and both cocks are loosely tied together, using the rope. Milos turns Jirka around and startst to play with his hot little ass. He tongues the hole and then slams his big, fat cock deep inside. Jirka takes the cock very well, with Milos fucking him nice and deep. A change of position has Milos holding one of Jirka's legs in the air as he fucks him, stretching his hole real well. Jirka's own cock is rock hard as he is being fucked and soon he takes over, riding that big dick up and down. Milos then lays down so that Jirka can sit right down on that cock and really work his hole over it. He wanks himself hard as he rides that cock and, as he moans, he shoots his cum. Then Jirka positions himself to try annd catch Milos' cum in his mouth as he shoots his load. He sucks the cock to drain it completely. Then the guys share a final kiss after a very nice scene.
We invited Filip Cervenka in for a helping hand session. He is a very sweet guy, from Ostrava, who has already done several shoots. As he sits on the bed the helping hand arrives and begins to caress Filip's body, removing his tee-shirt. The he has Filip lay down and continues to caress him. He pulls open the leg of Filip's underwear and extracts his cock and balls. Then the underwear comes off completely. A hand takes hold of Filip's cock and begins to wank it, playing with his nipples at the same time. Then we see Filips, hairy, ass crack as his legs are pulled in the air. A vibrator appears and slides into Filip's ass, working in and out of the hole. Then a thicker toy replaces it, pushing deep into his hole. Filip moans as it goes in, but takes it well. Then, with the dildo in place his cock is wanked again, getting nice and hard. The wanking speeds up and, with Filip moaning louder and louder, he shoots his cums for us. What a very good looking guy, and a great sport too.
Filip Pendrak is aged 28 and lives in Usti nad Labem. He is unemployed at present and enjoys hiking and climbing. What a great looking guy Filip is. After his interview he stands and begins to run his hands over himself. As he opens his shirt we see a very fit body, the muscles nicely developed. He opens his jeans and shucks them down and his rock hard dick comes into view. We get a great view of that awesome cock as it points skywards. Goodness, the cock really does look great, with the massive balls underneath. Filip's hands continue to work over his body, sometimes touching on the hard cock. As he lays on the bed we get another great view, and his lifts his legs, so that his ass hole is on display as well. His legs, wide apart give us a wonderful view. All that training for his climbing pays dividends as Filip also does the splits on the bed. His cock stays nice and hard all the while and he turns and gives us a back view of the splits too. After such a lovely show of his body it is time for the cumshot and Filip lays back down on the bed to wank himself. In no time he shoots a big,creamy load all over himself. Then he goes off to the shower to clean up. What a great show from a very sexy guy.
In scene 2 of our fully remastered Carlo and Friends we see Carlo with Vladimir Gott and Cage Kejc. Carlo is cycling along the road when he is stopped by two Nazi guard, Vladimir and Cage. They ask him for his papers and when he insists that he doesn't have any they strip him and take him into the woods. With his hands tied behind him Carlo is made to walk in front of them. He tells them that he doesn't like it, and we then learn that he is actually only playing the part of a prisoner in an attempt to join their unit. They leave Carlo lying on the ground as they go off for a cigarette. A discussion ensues, about how nice he looks naked. Then we see the guys relaxing more, being served by Carlo in a see thru costume. He serves Vladimir a banana and is told how nice his own banana looks. Then he sits on the ground as the guys take their cocks out and start wanking. Vladimir lifts his boot to Carlo's lips, for licking. Then Cage does the same. They wank themselves as the put Carlo through is paces, then they get naked and have Carlo lick their asses. Next Carlo is made to suck on each of their cocks in turn and then both together. When they have been sucked enough Carlo is made to get fully naked and present his ass to Vladimir who begins to fuck him. A change of position sees Vladimir on the ground with Carlo sitting and riding his cock. Then he does the same to Cage's big cock too. He rides up and down on that cock before all three guys wank themselves to massive cumshots. But Cage and Vladimir want more, and fuck Carlo again, which soon builds up more hot cum as they shoot again to end a wonderful scene.
Patrik Lukasz is aged 26 and lives in Nitra, Slovakia. He is a operator who enjoys fitness, sports and swimming. Patrik recently returned to us, having done some shoots a few year back. He still looks very good indeed and we quickly brought him in for this shoot. He really looks like a movie star in his fashionable attire and dark glasses. Patrik does a great shoot as he poses, clothed and naked, showing everything off perfectly, just as we like it. It is great to have him back in the fold.

"A man's man" has qualities other men admire; he is a man other men would like to be, a man who enjoys activities which require physical as well as mental strength and stamina; however, the definition is not stuck in some macho paralysis as the qualities that make a man are changing and being revamped from time to time. John Wayne may have a man's man at one time, but for this day and age, he would be seen as too conformist and black and white in his views. Independence, integrity, self-sufficiency, ground-breaking vision, brave physically and morally, and loyal to other men to an ocassional fault are relevant qualties of a man's man.
"A man's man" will stand up for another man rather than cave to some dishonest demands of a close female; a man's man would do what's best for another guy without taking undue advantage, evidencing a certain nobility; a man's man doesn't always grin and bear it as honesty about one's limitations defines the character of a man and engenders the trust of other men. He withstands the peer pressure of women and other men when it is falsely leveraged against him.

Tuesday, April 02, 2013 - Adam, Robert and Ivan RAW - CZECH UP
Adam, Robert and Ivan RAW - CZECH UP
Robert Maja came in for a Czech Up with Doctor Ivan Lavrov and Sister Adam Vavra. Ivan and Adam are working in the medical centre as they wait for their patient. Adam goes to the waiting room and brings Robert in. It seems that he has injured his arm, so Ivan examines it carefully and decides to clean it with some spirit. Then he tells Robert that he must undergo a full examination. Robert strips of and puts on a medical gown. He sits on the examination chair and Ivan begins to check him over. Lifting the gown Robert's chest is checked and then Ivan decides he needs to take his temperature. In his own special way he decides that Robert's cock will be used to check. He inserts the thermometer and all seems ok. But a further check is needed, this time from his ass. As the doctor inserts the thermometer again Adam is wanking on Robert's cock, which swells to a very good size. Adam takes advantage of that big hard cock by wrapping his mouth around the head and sucking. As he sucks Ivan kisses over Robert's body. Then he takes a turn sucking on Ivan's rock hard cock. Then both Ivan and Adam takes turns sucking, with a finger slipping into Robert's hot ass as well. Meanwhile Robert gets naked and presents his cock to Robert, which he eagerly takes in his mouth to suck. When Ivan has sucked enough he also gets naked and moves up so that Robert can suck him. Robert now has two cocks which he sucks in turn. Then Adam moves down and slips his massive cock into Robert's ass, fucking him nice and deep. He really works that hole as Robert wanks himself and continues to suck on Ivan's cock. Adam then changes place with Ivan and he fucks Robert as well, his big, fat cock stretching that hole. Robert wants a turn at fucking too and he moves so that Ivan can get on the chair and take his cock. As he is fucked he sucks on Adam's cock. Then when Robert has fucked him for long enough he pulls out and Ivan turns over and wanks himself to a lovely cumshot as a very nice finale.

Roman gets up and does the same to Adam's hole as Vasek stands over them wanking his big cock. Vasek needs to fuck some ass too and takes over from Roman, his big cock really stretching Adam's tight hole. The guys then move, with Ivo on the training bench and Vasek fucking his ass. Adam is on the floor with his cock being ridden by Roman. He slides up and down on that big dick. Ivo needs to use some ass too and they all move again. This time Roman is on his back with Ivo pounding his ass. Vasek fucks Adam who wanks his cock hard and fast as his all takes that dick. His cock is throbbing and he soon blows a huge load all over himself. Roman is wanking too and dumps his cum as well.

Filip Carbol vs Maros Trojan
Of similar size and weight, Filip Carbol and Maros Trojan look like an evenly paired match up. Trim yet muscular, their agile frames struggle with each other in the desperate attempt to gain the upper hand. After securing the first round, Filip has the clear physiological advantage which he plays well as he man handles Maros around the mat. Working more on brute strength then his obvious speed and reaction time, Filip has his competitor up against the ropes with every new round. Bundled up in each others arms Filip cheekily reaches around and grabs a hold of Maros' hand giving it a good squeeze as to show his dominance. But just who will win could be anyone's guess.

Percy has a condition. He tends to swell and fill with viscous fluids.
But then comes release.
And relaxation.THE 80S WAS A BIZARRE TIME
I worked in just about every animation department in the 1980s but the job I liked best (before I ever sold my own ideas) was being a "development artist". This job is kind of a lie because you are doing drawings mainly to impress someone into buying a show. You don't have to do the drudgery of drawing every pose in a storyboard or layout on a boring show - or have to waste hours unscrambling some sloppy writer's ill-thought out script before you even start drawing.
These were from a presentation for a cartoon show based on "The Garbage Pail Kids". I knew from the beginning that even after somewhat toning down all the gross stuff that the show would never sell, but CBS really wanted to develop it - because the bubble gum cards were a huge hit with kids.
In the 80s, networks would only buy new cartoon shows that were based on already-successful characters in other mediums. They wouldn't buy brand-new creations from cartoonists. - That was considered "too-risky". This was before Ren and Stimpy, Rugrats and "Doug" established the trendy "Creator-Driven" fad of the 90s and put Saturday morning cartoons practically out of business.
When the kids in the 80s went nuts for Garbage Pail Kids cards, the networks had just discovered that kids liked gross stuff. Amazing.
But they couldn't really bring themselves to take the money by doing the show. They paid for the development and then rejected the show and the potentially huge ratings that were sure to come.
These look so mild to me now, but were considered really radical in the 80s.
The SM execs of the 80s never understood why the finished shows had nothing to do with the presentation that tricked them into buying it. They were at least smart enough to see the difference. But they were ignorant of the actual production process at an animation studio, so had no idea that every step of the assembly line was designed to tone down and blanderize the idea.
I knew what was happening because I saw it ever day. I realized that it didn't matter what you started with on a cartoon. It only matters what you end with.
Most people think a show is good or bad based on how good or bad the "idea" is-whatever an "idea" is. Ideas are only good if there is a production system that not only allows them to end up on the screen, but encourages them to improve and evolve along the production line. That didn't exist then, existed for a short time here and there in the 90s and has since disappeared.
Well that's a subject for another day.

If Maemo/Meego is to be a serious contender in the business/smartphone arena, a decent email client should be an integral part of the offering. Compared to other platforms, such as Blackberry (obviously), but also the iPhone or even S60, the Maemo email client is seriously underpowered, even for mundane tasks.
The purpose of this brainstorm is to gather people's opinions as to the minimum features (nothing too fancy) that the default email client should offer.
Example of enhancements necessary to turn "Modest" into a useable email client:
- It has no decent unread mails notification mechanism - try to use it with more than one account and you'll spend serious time hunting for your messages in multiple mailboxes (which leads on to another of its - non-functional - weaknesses: it's slow, at least against IMAP4/TLS servers)- see solution #1
- Missing support IMAP-IDLE means no "push"-style email (bug 3888 was opened over a year ago and has over 150 votes as of this writing)
- It's not possible to search emails (bug 5502)
- It's not possible to specify that sent-items or drafts be kept on the server (already a brainstorm)
- Deleting emails sometimes doesn't delete them from the IMAP server (I understand this is a bug that's about to get fixed in PR1.2 at last!!)
- You cannot copy text from emails without replying to them (bug 5033)
- etc etc... This query against the bugs DB turns up numerous "bugs", quite a few of which are actually very sensible enhancement requests.
My 2.5 years old 1st gen iPod touch can do most of the above and I'm sure other smartphone platforms are just as capable.
Follow-up discussions to this thread please.

|I found my lost swim ticket!!
Ages old but always good in Paris. Yay
The smaller fork/forchette diet.
One-mac-a-day is the rule (sometimes broken).
|I found my lost swim ticket!!
Ages old but always good in Paris. Yay
Happy Happy Birthday Carol...may you spend your next one in Paris...
how do you keep all those Macs fresh? they go stale so quickly..what's the secret?
I don't think they go stale...maybe the texture changes in the fridge
You can wrap tight with seran and store in the freezer.
Much less nibbling if you do that for sure!!
Joyeux anniversaire, Carol. Entertaining post as always. I approve of your plans for the day (le Homard à Chelsea market.) I would heed that Metro horoscope advice and start planning for my move to Paris if I were you! Bonne journée. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Carol. Wish I could be eating lobster with you. LOL. Love your new hairdo - thanks for all of the joy you bring us on a daily basis. xoReplyDelete
Ok....we want to see the hair!!! Pics please!
Joyeux Anniversaire! Hope you day is as lovely as a rose flavored Macaron! Actually I would put a candle in your favorite flavored one(or two) for you. May you have many more! Thanks for the nice posts. Last year I was in Paris on this day, so I am being very sentimental.Enjoy!merci ~Fan from rural OregonReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Carol!
May all your wishes come true!
I am your follower on Pinterest since Day 1! :-)
Joyeux anniversaire Carol. I wish you a fabulous day filled with much happiness! Love your joyeux anniversaire painting at the top of your post... is it for sale on your etsy site? ~Jen
p.s. would also love to know how you keep your macarons fresh.
How to keep macarons fresh?
Hmmm...they have pretty good staying power. It helps to put something betw each mac so they don't stick together in transit.
Nothing tastes the same as when you buy it fresh at the patisserie but one can live with these small inconveniences if one's frigo is stuffed with macarons can one not?
Joyeux anniversaire dear Carol!!! May all your wishes and dreams come true and may each Birthday be even MORE wonderful and fabulous than the one before ~~ HUGS!!! Here's hoping you will be celebrating in grand style next year in Paris, qui?? I wish to add that your watercolor is gorgeous (as always), and I HAVE been following you on Pinterest since you began :) Much love xoxox, RisaReplyDelete
Happy Birthday! and thank you for the wonderful richness of your posts and paintings!ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Carol! You light up our lives with your paintings, curiosity, humor and spirit. :-)
To dearest special, wonderful, talented carol
Happy birthday
from Karen Scarlett and saffron
I wish I could send you a Parisian lemon meringue tart by mail... Happy birthday Carol !!ReplyDelete
Happy Pinkbday1 You will have to show us the new hair style. I like the small fork diet sounds good to me. Have a fun day!ReplyDelete
Bon anniversaire ma belle Carol~
Spiked hair? I bet it looks great!
I agree .. you are a ray of sunshine.Even on gloomy days:)
I AM a follower and am loving all the macarons..Paris photos your art etc.
But..it's your birthday..following You is a gift to me.
Thank you so much for all the time you take in spoiling us.
Your horoscope is kind of saying..Paris will be home for you:)Combien de temps? Qui sait?
A big Happy Birthday to you Carol ~ You are reallllly goooood ... no birthday treats ... an inspiration to dieters everywhere! I always treat myself on trips but unfortunately sometimes end up keeping things meant for others. Re that check: You really need to get 'organizized'(to quote Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver.) I would be happy to follow you on Pinterest...I've been procrastinating checking it out..so now I have motivation. I guess it's like an inspiration board? I love those...Will try if I can figure it out...not too techy.ReplyDelete
I forgot to say..I love the ring..the wolf w/ people in his stomach?Is very artsy..But I would wear RRH.
My kids used to play RRH in a little house under the trees Jacques built for them.I kept the photos I loved them so much.
Happy birthday! Wear your REd Riding Hood ring with pride! thanks to James Thurber's "Fables for Our Times", I have an actual red riding hood coat . In his version, when little Red Riding Hood sees the wolf in Grandma's bed, she says all the traditional things (What big eyes you have, Grandmaman, what big teeth you have, Grandmaman) then she pulls a pistol out of her basket and shoots the wolf dead. Because "little girls are not so dumb as they used to be". I pray I have rememberd the quote precisely.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Carol ! Heureux Anniversaire and thank you for your wonderful blog !
Nice parisian week-end,
Bon anniversaire. Happy Birthday. Alles gute zum Geburtstag.... Bon compleano!
What a great post.... I love your blog. It's so unique and fun.
Hello from Berlin!
Happy Birthday .. I noticed the new photo on your profile, but no spike hair? Sounds too fun. I follow you on Pinterest, but I have a "no food" follow rule, so not all boards. Keeps me on the straight and narrow. I am "Karen in CT" and pin a lot of Paris.
I've actually become obsessed with Pinterest. But I keep my boards down and pins too, and clean out all the ones that are not quite as exciting as they used to be. Only the best is my motto, not into numbers.
I hope you enjoyed your birthday and your friends. You are such fun that I am sure all had a good time.
Here's to another orbit ... Karen in CT
I'd love to follow you but don't know how. Life used to be so simple, sigh. Bring on the macs!ReplyDelete
Ooops, forgot to sing, "Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Carol, happy birthday toooo yooooou!"ReplyDelete
I also wish you a (belated) happy birthday, Carol.
And I agree you should do the "all out" bit.
wow ! what a lot of great varieties are. Thanks for sharing.
Joyeux Anniversaire ma belle Carol !
I do hope you had more than the one macaron a day and splurged as if it was the end of a trip - unless you spent too much time on Pinterest, hehee. I shall follow you of course (which means I'll be drooling over your artwork), but I'll keep your other presie the next time you come over to Paris, ok? Let's see, something beginning with M.
Hugs from a cloudy Paris. Tu ne regrette rien d'être à New York ce weekend xo
Joyeux Anniversaire, A day late.. sorry. Mine is Sunday.we are kindred Spirits.. :) Of Course I quit remembering mine a few years ago. :) You are only getting Better each year. So lets see this new hair do..ReplyDelete
Un autre joyeux anniversaire un jour tard! I'm glad that swimming tickets don't expire -- tickets for the bateau-mouche do!ReplyDelete
*THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER Harriet!
I have a bateau-mouche ticket I MUST use when I get back (within a week)
I keep procrstinating!!!
WOW-There are a lot of Birthday Wishes for you.
So, I also wish you Health and Happiness all year long. I have enjoyed your Paris Breakfast Blog and have followed you on Pinterest since Day 1.
I'm jealous...you get to go to Chelsea Market
but not so jealous, because I got to go to the
Ferry Building in San Francisco!@

The city of Lake Ozark should meet all of the requirements of a consent judgment relating to a 2007 sewer spill well ahead of schedule.
The city of Lake Ozark should meet all of the requirements of a consent judgment relating to a 2007 sewer spill well ahead of schedule.
The board of aldermen Tuesday night approved a resolution authorizing an application to the DNR's State Revolving Fund program for $2.7 million for repairs and upgrades to the city's sanitary sewer system.
"This is the first step of many leading to the completion of the sewer project and meeting the requirements of the consent judgment," City Administrator Dave Van Dee told the board.
The city has until 2015 to complete the court-ordered upgrades, but anticipates the project should be complete by the middle of next year.
On Sept. 11, 2007, DNR staff observed that a lift station was experiencing a bypass, resulting in a discharge of 10,000 to 15,000 gallons of raw sewage into the lake. DNR staff noted that the sewage caused a dark plume in the water at the Lake of the Ozarks.
DNR notified the city of the bypass, and the city responded and stopped the flow, but conducted no clean up and provided no written notification of the bypass.
As a result, the city was fined $50,000 and was given three years to complete repairs and upgrades to its sewer system.
CID delayed
Completion of a public hearing regarding an application by RIS, Inc., for a Community Improvement District at Eagle's Landing was continued once again.
The hearing was opened during the March 19 regular board of aldermen meeting, giving the public an opportunity to comment on the request for a 1-cent increase in sales tax on certain properties within Eagles' Landing.
The additional funds would be used to help pay debt and improvements associated with the development.
However, aldermen raised questions about the length of CID relative to the Tax Increment Financing project. And aldermen wondered if a half-cent sales tax hike within the CID might be more palatable when compared to other sales tax rates in the lake area.
Doug Stone, attorney for RIS, was to work with Roger Gibbons, the Lake Ozark city attorney, on revisions to the application. However, Stone and Gibbons have not worked out details so the hearing was scheduled to reconvene at the April 23 meeting.
Car Show
Aldermen approved a Special Use Permit from the Bagnell Dam Strip Association for the Magic Dragon Street Meet May 9-12.
Alan Sullivan, chairman of the Street Meet project, told the board more than 600 vehicles have registered so far. He said barricades blocking off Bagnell Dam Blvd. would be moved from School Road to Henderson Road to allow more room for vehicles to set up and to alleviate potential traffic problems.
Special hot pink tags will be issued to anyone wanting to use Flynn Road during the day.
The GenX Car Show, part of the overall event, would be moved to the former Carl's Market parking lot on Bagnell Dam Blvd. It's previously been set up in the Hy-Vee/Target area.
Aldermen agreed to the changes.
Swearing In
One new board member and three re-elected officials were given the oath of office by City Clerk Rachel Kelley.
Sworn in were Betsey Browning, the new Ward 3 alderman who unseated incumbent Todd Painter; Mayor Johnnie Franzeskos, who defeated challenger Paul Sale for mayor; and Ward 1 alderman Tony Otto and Ward 2 alderman Judy Neels, both of whom were unopposed.

The newest iMac models, which were unveiled at Apple's iPad Mini event in October, recently started shipping to customers on Friday. But besides the strikingly slim look of the 5-mm-thick iMac, there's something else that may catch your eye. According to Apple Insider, reports of iMacs being assembled in the U.S have been popping up. One of these "Assembled in the USA" iMacs came from a customer who bought it at B&H Photo, while two other reports – one from a Fortune reader and the other from the illustrious team over at iFixit – link the American-made iMacs to the Apple Store itself.
9to5Mac says this isn't the first time an Apple computer has had an "Assembled in USA" label. It is, however, the first time it's been on the actual device (previous models have had the labels on the packaging). Also, refurbished Apple products have had a similar label on them.
According to Fortune, the 21.5-inch iMacs could be first example of an Apple computer being assembled in the U.S. Obviously, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission regulates whether or not manufacturers can post a "Made in USA" label on products. The FTC states that, for a device to have an "Assembled in USA" label, there needs to be an extensive amount of work done domestically, and the product's last "substantial transformation" needs to occur in the U.S.
What does this mean in terms of the American-branded iMacs? Well, either Apple and its manufactures are doing a considerable amount of iMac assembly in the U.S., or the label could be exaggerated a bit. However, judging from the transition of moving the label from the packaging to the actual device, we doubt that Apple would be stretching the truth about actually assembling these iMac's in America. There is a chance that Apple could be doing a limited production run of only a few iMac's in the U.S., and then could be sending the information to China after for a large-scale production. But, considering the extensive supply problems Apple is having regarding its devices in China, especially with iMac's, the company might be trying to move more and more of its manufacturing to the States. Foxconn, Apple's main manufacturer, already has a few locations in the U.S.
At the D10: All Things Digital conference in May, CEO Tim Cook said that he wanted more American-made Apple products. "We will do as many of these things [in America] as we can do," Cook said, "and you can bet that we'll use the whole of our influence to do this." It seems like Apple's already started the process with its new iMacs.

Hope all of you had a great Christmas and equally enjoyable New Year's spent with friends and family.
Hope all of you had a great Christmas and equally enjoyable New Year's spent with friends and family.
As most of you know, I have this spot reserved for my ramblings once every five weeks.
At one point in my journalistic career, I wrote a column every other week, so it didn't take me near as long to catch people up on what had been going on in my life.
Given how we have just emerged from the holiday season and my last column came out prior to Christmas, I thought it would be appropriate to write about feeling blessed.
I am blessed to have two healthy, happy children and also blessed to have a kind, caring family that gets along well with one another, despite all the ups and downs of life.
Like many of you, I made the most of my time spent with my immediate family during Christmas.
After battling a virus that began on Christmas Day and lasted through most of the proceeding weekend, I got better just in time to help host our annual New Year's Eve celebration.
You may or may not be asking yourself what an Angelloz New Year's event consists of.
Well, as I like to describe to those that might be stopping in for the first time, it features fireworks, children, food, refreshments of all kinds and most importantly — fun.
These are some of the highlights, but the most important ingredient at our parties is the people that make the celebration what it is.
And, that's why I think this year's party felt a little different to me personally.
Unlike previous year's, I caught myself embracing more of the moments spent with my friends and family than in the past.
Don't get me wrong; I've always enjoyed our yearly gatherings, but this time had a deeper meaning to me.
Maybe it is because of the recent school shooting in Connecticut or just the fact that I'm getting a bit older, but I'm starting to find myself feeling somewhat more sentimental about things than was the case only a few short years ago.
Throughout the evening, I couldn't help myself from looking around at those in attendance and smiling. The people gathered under my roof that evening mean the world to me, and I'd do anything for each and every one of them if they needed it — and vice-versa.
I was surrounded by familiar faces as I glanced around the room. Some of the people there had attended past parties, while others were new to our annual Angelloz throw down.
There was laughter, kids playing and an overall joy of sharing the company of such an amazing group of people.
Each of my guests have great qualities that anyone would be honored to be around if only for a little while, let alone an entire evening.
To me, New Year's is about celebrating the past year's memories and looking forward to a slew of additional memories to follow. And let me tell you, those individuals in that room when we rung in the new year don't understand just how much their friendships mean to me and my wife.
Sometimes we take friends and family for granted, but like anything, they can leave our lives in an instant.
As I get older, I've grown to appreciate those brief moments where we can all enjoy life together and have fun, while also understanding there will be tough times that lay ahead where all of us will be counted on to support and comfort each other when things aren't so joyous.
That's what makes gatherings like ours so important. When you get together with your family during the holiday season and every one you are celebrating those moments with is in good health, you should take a moment and give thanks because that is a blessing.
On that night, that's exactly what we had. The adults in that room were in good health. The kids playing with one another were happy, and life couldn't really have been any better.
So, in closing, I just want to take a minute to thank my friends and family for adding such immense joy to me and my wife's life.
Since it will be another few weeks till I write my next column, I would like to wish everyone a happy and blessed New Year.
